Ｅ┡ㄟ．”骑在马上的普提莱指着视野远处高耸入云的山峰，为泰尔斯讲解着北地的地理。\n泰尔斯抬起头，放宽自己的视野，在寒气逼人的环境里呼出一口热气。\n“叹息山脉曾是远古帝国时代的大地上最高的山脉，北接魁古尔冰川，纵向隔开帝国北部的北地行省与东荒行省，向南逐渐平缓延伸到绿心行省北侧，也就是现在的星辰东海领，即库伦公爵的封地。 叹息山脉之险，攀登之难，都令旅人望之却步，唯有低头叹息，是以得名。”\n“远古帝国尚在时，这里就是著名的流放与混乱之地，帝国覆灭后动荡更甚，直到山脉里迁居来了精灵的一支，扎根于此近三百年，在山岳之间来去自如，鼎盛时期自成王国……终结之战后，叹息山脉的西北侧归于西6，东南叹息山脉则在东6的翰布尔王朝境内。” 叹息山脉里的精灵？\n等等，好像那本终结战纪：天崩地裂里有讲过？\n说到“精灵”，泰尔斯不由得瞥了一眼身后的埃达。\n“怎么了？” 埃达注意到泰尔斯的眼神，没好气地摊开双手：“我也不知道那些是我的第几代亲戚，我历史又学得不好！”\n泰尔斯摇摇头，转回头继续听普提莱的讲解。\n不能指望这个连自己名字都记不住的精灵。\n哪怕是个极境。\n“……险峻的西北叹息山脉纵跨埃克斯特与星辰两国的东部，特卢迪达大公的再造塔和星辰王国福瑞斯家族的孤老塔，分别坐落在两座山峰上隔谷相望，两边都对彼此忌惮非常，偏偏都易守难攻。”\n普提莱抽了一口烟斗，看着远方的山脉，露出迷醉的色彩。\n大6战争？\n泰尔斯心里又冒出一个疑问。\n“战争肇始于两片大6之间的矛盾比如终结海里的鲸群。\n“这使得始于终结历468年的第四次大6战争，变成了名副其实的世界大战，战火不再局限在一方纠结势力，跨海侵袭另一方，而是波及世上的每一个角落。”\n泰尔斯想起闵迪思厅里，星辰三王中那位微笑持杖的中年国王，他镌刻在银币上的头像，以及自己胸口的烧疤，随即他又想起科里昂的那对血族姐妹以及所谓的“星夜同盟”。\n泰尔斯摇摇头，把这些赶出自己的脑袋。\n“你不赞成闵迪思的外交政策吗？” 穿越者好奇地问。\n“并非如此，”普提莱摇摇头：“与夙夜联盟是大势所趋远东古谚也有言，交好远方的盟友，攻伐临近的敌人。”\n“虽然第四次大6战争规模浩大，代价惨重，”普提莱一面沉思着，一面缓缓道：“但在我看来，新的政治形势也加强了两片大6的连接和联系，爆世界大战的条件，都被消弭在越复杂的联动局势之中，比如我们跟埃克斯特的西6冲突从第四次大6战争到现在，我们已经两个世纪未曾有跨大6的大战，享有过两百年的和平……在此前的几乎每个世纪，我们都有两片大6矛盾积累到极点之后的大6战争。”\n泰尔斯皱起眉头他总觉得以这样的国家生产力和政治制度，所谓的大6战争哪里有些怪怪的。\n跨海远征大6……这需要多大的动员力和后勤补给？ 诸国所付出的代价真的是那点永世油就能补偿的吗？\n他们在一路上两侧士兵投射而来目光中前进，不多时，眼前出现了一个村庄。\n泰尔斯抬起眼，他现村庄外的树木上都绑着一根根绳子，有不少都拴着食物，诸如肉干、面包等等，甚至还有鹿、狐狸、雪兔等猎物。\n这是北地的习俗吗？ “我的士兵们已经确认了这个村庄的安全，”就在此时，伦巴大公的属下封臣，坎比达子爵从后方跟来，他越过众人，骑进村庄后下马，把缰绳交给一位士兵，“我们会解散一部分家乡在附近的征召兵，您可以在里面的一家酒馆稍事休憩，享用午餐。”\n泰尔斯在罗尔夫的帮助下蹬下坐骑，为能够暂时摆脱这匹马而长舒一口气，然后兴趣满满地抬起头，观察着这个莱曼隘口旁的村庄。\n这本该是一个连围墙都没有的宁静小村庄，此时却布满了身形壮硕、全副武装的彪形大汉。 虽然大部分的护送军队都在村庄之外驻扎休憩，但泰尔斯眼中所见，用砖木土石搭建的平房房檐下，依然到处是来来回回、熙熙攘攘的北地士兵。\n但奇特的是，这些士兵似乎没有打扰这个村庄的清净，他们与麻布粗袄打扮的村中男男女女们打成一片，尤其是村庄中的广场一带，此刻早已坐满了士兵和村民们，酒杯来回，笑声震天。\n“这次我要干翻你，克朗顿！” 一张似乎是平常兜售商货的大木桌旁，坐着两个人，一个村民模样的男人大力地砸着摆满酒杯的桌面，看着对面一个不甘示弱的士兵大喝道：“一分钟，我能喝十杯！”\n“我们马上就知道你是不是在吹牛了，”士兵丢下斧头，脱下胸甲，同样不忿地砸着桌面，“赢的人才能得到阿萝莎的花圈！”\n围成一圈的旁观者热烈地起哄，其中一个提着花篮的年轻姑娘则哈哈大笑。\n“放什么狗屁！” 她放下花篮，豪爽地一掀裙子坐下，加入到圆桌上的酒局：“喝得过我的人才能拿到我的花圈！”\n泰尔斯不由得轻笑起来，在那一瞬，他甚至有点淡忘了，正是这群埃克斯特士兵，在战场上与他的护卫们舍命相敌，彼此杀戮。\n与泰尔斯在永星城中所接触到的那个规矩市侩，阶层地位分明的社会不同，这个埃克斯特的乡野小村的节奏显得野性而轻快，气氛热烈而轻松，村民基本都是高大壮健的北地人，相貌粗豪，笑容爽朗。 “嘿，图勒哈，我们要在这儿呆多久？”\n一个中层军官模样的大胡子士兵一手扛着战锤一手拿着木质酒杯，对着他们大声喊道：“拜托，请告诉我可以过夜！”\n“下午就出，”图勒哈不满地大声回敬道：“在那之前，把你的裤子给我勒紧了，铁头阔克！”\n泰尔斯毫不在意路边士兵和村民的指指点点，也不乏轻蔑和恶意的眼神，他跟着坎比达和图勒哈一路向前，后面则跟着使团的众人。\n“你们确认安全的方式就是让士兵们进村庄，去跟村民们喝酒？” 看着一旁走过，跟村民们勾肩搭背、开怀大笑的北地士兵，王子年轻的侍从官，怀亚卡索警惕地按着腰间的剑，不甚认可：“如果我是刺客，就会混在这些村民里。” “别太紧张，这里不是星辰，是埃克斯特！”\n坎比达子爵哈哈大笑道：“这个村庄里几乎都是退役的老兵，他们信得过……事实上，出于荣誉和尊严，在他们之中，身为客人的王子只会更加安全。”\n怀亚则耸耸肩，撇嘴表达他的怀疑。\n“别担心，”泰尔斯对着他的侍从官点点头：“士兵们都四散渗入了村庄里，就算是刺客，也要思量暴起行刺的可能与代价。”\n“英雄酒馆，一名退役老战士三十年前所开的酒馆，”一旁的图勒哈淡淡地道：“而里面的黑麦醇酒则远近闻名。”\n好奇打量着四周的泰尔斯，跟着坎比达和图勒哈走向一栋较大的石屋，石屋的门上挂着一个硕大的酒杯招牌。 火炙骑士推开两扇大门，走进人声鼎沸的英雄酒馆。\n泰尔斯跟着踏进温暖的石屋，把寒气甩在身后，看着这个布满了客人的酒馆瞬间安静下来，许多人把目光投向他们，泰尔斯认出客人中有不少是北地士兵，显然是刚刚到此不久。\n但几秒钟后，酒馆就又恢复了热烈的气氛，仿佛进来的只是几个普通人。\n“无论是国王、祭祀、外国人，哪怕神灵，没人能在这里赶走我的客人！”\n怀亚一皱眉头。\n老头随即眯眼低下头看向泰尔斯，露出古怪的神色：“你们的人有些多……我只招待付钱买酒的客人。”\n泰尔斯对他笑了一下。\n穿越者不禁注意到，眼前这个沧桑老头虽然有些年纪了，起码六十以上，但他的臂肌仍然达，腰身粗壮而挺拔，眼神直接而凶猛。\n别担心人数和酒钱的问题！” 坎比达哈哈一笑，不客气地坐上吧台，掏出一个钱袋，“我们这儿有的是带着耐卡茹头像的金色小圆片……顺便一句，黑沙大公托我向你问好！”\n泰尔斯眼神一动：一个退役的老兵，普通的酒馆老板，能让黑沙大公亲自过问？\n但坎比达显然没有得到应有的回应。\n“每杯黑麦酒六个埃克斯特铜子，贵族的价格则是六十个，”酒馆的老板，老头卡斯兰表情冷淡地瞥了一眼钱袋，随即把它推了回去，冷哼一声：“还有，我不收金币。”\n“特别是来自那个弑亲伦巴的金币。”\n坎比达的脸色顿时一僵。\n泰尔斯也心中一惊：弑亲？\n坎比达向着身后的图勒哈摊摊手，露出无奈的表情。\n“那是遵循古礼的继承权决斗，”图勒哈走上前来，不动声色地掏出一个满是埃克斯特铜币和银币的袋子，淡淡道：“大公他击败了自己的长兄，仅此而已……伤亡只是意外。”\n“随他怎么狡辩吧，弑亲就是弑亲！” 老头卡斯兰不屑地收下钱袋，“至于所谓的决斗古礼……那是以前，帝国人用来让我们自相残杀的玩意儿。”\n黑沙大公杀死了自己的哥哥，夺取了继承权，遵循的似乎是远古帝国的某种决斗仪式？\n泰尔斯默默地把这个情报放进心里。\n还有……泰尔斯看向眼前的粗犷老头：这个酒馆老板的身份不简单，而且跟伦巴似乎不是一个立场的。\n也许可以从这里收集一些情报？\n“所以是一、二、三……六、七、八……”卡斯兰掂了掂钱袋，数着眼前的人数。\n“等等！”\n卡斯兰的眼珠一转，重新注意到连吧台都够不到的泰尔斯。\n坎比达皱起眉头，若有所思地看向泰尔斯。\n泰尔斯向着普提莱点点头，后者眉头一挑，随即走上前去，抓出几个银币。\n“啊，我认得这个头像……守誓之王，米迪尔是么，”卡斯兰接过银币，仔细端详着上面的图案，随即抬起头，嘿嘿一笑，露出满口黄牙：“你们来自帝国？”\n“不，”泰尔斯笑着摇摇头：“我们来自星辰。”\n他身边的怀亚脸色一变，而普提莱则若有所思。\n“我知道了，小鬼，你是那个星辰的王子……来道歉的。” 卡斯兰直直地盯着他：“还真是长途跋涉啊。”\n泰尔斯耸耸肩。\n“好吧，”卡斯兰哼笑一声：“没道理跟钱过不去。”\n“喂！” 坎比达抗议道：“伦巴大公的金币就不是钱了吗？” “嘿，布瑞因！”\n这位英雄酒馆的老板没有理会子爵阁下，他放开嗓门，敲了敲身后的木窗：“二十杯麦酒……普通的就行！”\n吧台后走出一个三十来岁的高个黑大汉，他的左脸上有一道烧伤的疤痕，冷哼一声。\n只见这个酒馆伙计一脸不爽地举起一根细木棍，转向后方的橱柜，手臂一振，熟练地串起十几个木酒杯的杯耳，像串烧一样把它们拉起来。\n他的手臂又一振，十几个杯子齐齐砸上吧台。 布瑞因灵巧地抽出木棍，然后扛起一个大木酒桶，开始朝着排成一排的酒杯倒酒，一边倒，一边神色不善地注视着众人，中间狠狠地瞪了泰尔斯一眼。\n“这不是臂力能做到的，”怀亚看着伙计的动作，神情一动，低声道：“我打赌，他是个用剑的高手。”\n“当然，英雄酒馆，”图勒哈淡淡地道：“北地退役士兵的集散地。”\n泰尔斯难过地现，自己连吧台的椅子都够不到，在众目睽睽下直接出声又过于尴尬。\n这时候，有个会手语的护卫就显得格外重要。\n罗尔夫把泰尔斯抱上吧台的高脚椅现自己再次失业的侍从官怀亚重新皱起眉头，坎比达和普提莱在他左右两侧坐下，星辰和埃克斯特的人则分成泾渭分明的两批人，分别在两个圆桌边坐下，士兵们虎视眈眈地盯着彼此。\n“我的天，”威罗看着周围闹腾着的北地酒客们，神采奕奕地道：“我还从来没来过这么远的地方喝酒。”\n“拿好你的双枪，”老兵杰纳德皱眉道：“没准他们什么时候就会扑上来。”\n“卡斯兰先生，”泰尔斯弯起嘴角，拿出记忆中与人攀谈的本事：“您是什么时候开的英雄酒馆？ 为什么叫这个名字？”\n“有三十年咯，”卡斯兰懒洋洋地看着布瑞因把酒杯倒满，然后把其中三杯端上吧台，另外的让布瑞因自己端盘送出去：“受伤退役后就回家乡开了酒馆……至于为什么叫英雄酒馆，嘿，我婆娘取的无聊名字。”\n“对了，”泰尔斯摸了摸有自己半个头高的木质酒杯，理智地决定不去碰它：“我进村庄时，现门口的树木上都绑着各色的食物，那是怎么回事？”\n“绝日严寒就要来了，”卡斯兰打个哈欠，端上几盘看着就不怎么让人有食欲的黑面包：“那是群山的馈赠。”\n图勒哈和坎比达都习以为常地抓起黑面包，就着麦酒啃进嘴里，后者还一脸看好戏的表情，看着一脸愁苦，无从下口的怀亚。\n“最好多吃一点吧，”坎比达淡淡地道：“我们下午还要赶路……晚上才会扎营。”\n养尊处优的星辰人……坎比达心中轻笑：这可是英雄酒馆的招牌，北地村民的普通粗粮。\n怀亚皱着眉看着眼前的黑面包。\n普提莱叹出一口气，抓起面包看来这就是今天中午的食粮了。\n大概是坎比达故意的举动，试探王子的态度，或者报复王子的冷淡，二者其一。 然后毫不在意地啃下一口。\n“群山的馈赠？” 泰尔斯大口地嚼动着嘴里硬实的面包，好奇地含糊问道：“绝日严寒？”\n嗯，味道居然还不错，只需要磨着咬就能咬开……不像兄弟会里的黑面包，糟糕的时候还要用火烤。\n卡斯兰的神情一动，看向泰尔斯的眼神越来越有趣。\n“绝日严寒是北地特有的天气，彼时北地将迎来一年中最寒冷的时刻，日照的时间急剧缩短，外出的人必须身着极厚的皮袄，且带足火源补给，还不能离开太远，每日户外活动的时间会被压缩到三个小时以内。” 普提莱眼神古怪地看着吃得津津有味的泰尔斯。\n怀亚苦着脸吃下一口面包，只觉得想吐，但他看着旁边的罗尔夫也甘之如饴的样子，顿时重燃食欲和斗志。\n“那是给神灵的礼物，”酒馆老板，老头卡斯兰嘿嘿一笑，接过话头：“将今天第一个猎到的猎物，第一个触碰的食物，挂上树梢，即属神灵所有……只有在绝日严寒中不得不出门在外的旅人可以取用，是为来自神灵的恩惠。”\n“神灵……”泰尔斯咽下面包：“是哪位神灵，落日，皓月，冥夜？”\n他的记忆中，永星城内较为出名还有着自己神殿的神灵，似乎就是这三位。\n“群山之主。”\n星辰王国，永星城西环区，西城警戒厅门口。\n“抱歉，科恩卡拉比扬队长请了一个月的长假，”西城警戒厅的秘书，乔拉小姐一脸冷淡地看着眼前这个年轻的棕色短女孩：“我是说，至少一个月。”\n长得比我高。\n腿比我长。\n屁股比我翘。\n乔拉小姐不忿地想。\n还好，我的胸比她大。\n随即，乔拉小姐挺起傲人的身姿，捋过头上的红色长，骄傲地道：“你若是要找他的话，可以留下口信……我经常见到他，可以帮你转告给他。”\n没我有女人味。\n看着像个男孩子。\n嗯，说话也是粗声粗气的……一点不像个女人。\n乔拉小姐这么想道，顿时觉得心情好了很多。\n嗯，那就是公鸭嗓……她绝不承认那是“英气”。\n棕色短的女人沉默了一阵，静静地看着乔拉小姐。\n乔拉小姐觉得有些窘迫。\n棕的女孩随即低下头，看着右手上那个双塔长剑标志的纹章，嘴角挽起笑容。\n在秘书小姐不耐烦的眼神下，棕女孩舔了舔自己的嘴唇。\n“红坊街那天，躺在他怀里的女人，想他了。”\n乔拉小姐脸色一变，如遭雷击。\n乔拉小姐瞪起难以置信的双眼，皱紧眉头，神情不定地看着眼前的女人。\n怎么会。\n这个女人？\n“好吧，我开玩笑的，”在秘书小姐杀人的眼神下，刺客之花的后裔一边抚着腹部，一边笑着摆手：“我跟那个金的青……的警戒官只见过一面。”\n顺便救了他一命而已。\n“你喜欢他，暗恋他，爱他爱得死去活来，想为他生孩子什么的，”在秘书小姐再次变得古怪的眼神下，娅拉摇摇头：“我都不关心……我也不是你的竞争对手或情敌，而仅仅只是找他帮个忙而已。”\n“放心……他还不是我喜欢的类型。” 前任女酒保露出灿烂的笑容。\n秘书小姐罕见地脸红了。\n她看着娅拉真诚的眼神，一时有些手足无措，无言以对。 沉默持续了十几秒。\n乔拉小姐最终呼出一口气。\n娅拉笑了。 “好，我会给他写信的，”年轻的前任女酒保点点头，思考着什么：“谢谢你，乔拉小姐。”\n“事实上，如果不是太麻烦的事情的话，”秘书小姐有些窘地道：“也许我也可以帮你的。\n这样你就不用去找科恩队长了。\n乔拉小姐默默在心底握拳：你以为说句不喜欢他就完事了？\n不要小看女人的执着啊，无论是自己的还是情敌的！\n娅拉诧异地看着乔拉，随即破颜一笑。\n娅拉突然止住了话头，她想起了什么。\n乔拉小姐露出期待的眼神。\n“也许你真的能帮我的忙，”她缓缓道：“乔拉，你是警戒厅的秘书，无论是案件、通缉、情报，你都能看到，能帮我留意一些信息吗？”\n乔拉小姐露出笑容，她点点头：“当然，如果不是机密的话……你想知道些什么呢？”\n乔拉小姐拿出纸笔。\n乔拉小姐奇怪地抬起头。\n“一个十岁的男孩，叫辛提，个子比一般孩子大一些。”\n“一个脸上有圆形烫疤的小女孩，叫科莉亚，四五岁左右。”\n“一个七八岁的男孩，叫莱恩，没有右手。”\n“就这些？”\n“等等，”娅拉抬起头，正色道：“我要找的，还有一个小男孩。”\n“他失踪在红坊街附近，很可能落在血瓶帮的手里了。”\n“黑，灰眸，七八岁的样子。”\n“不像正常孩子的……孩子。”\n乔拉小姐诧异地抬起头。\n“他有些过分聪明，过分成熟了。” 娅拉低垂着眼眉，继续解释道。\n“我哥哥说，类似的小孩他也见过两个一男一女。”\n“好吧，总之，我会帮你留意的。”.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Chapter 111: Kaslan’s Tavern Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation\n\"The land you see rising and falling before you is the Sighing Hills. The hills located at the border to the east of Sighing Mountains. Look, the snow-covered summits in the distance going straight into the clouds are the Sighing Mountains.\" As he rode on his horse, Putray pointed towards the mountains in the distance, which towered into the clouds as far as they could see. He was providing information regarding the geography of the Northland to Thales.\nThales raised his head and expanded his field of vision. He then let out a puff of warm air in the biting, cold environment.\n\"The Sighing Mountains were once the tallest mountains during the age of the Ancient Empire. The range was connected to Glacier Quiquer to the north and travelled south through the Northland Province as well as Eastern Southland Province, which separated the Empire's northern region. It is currently Constellation's Eastern Sea Hill, and also Duke Cullen's fiefdom. The dangers in the Sighing Mountains and the difficulties faced when climbing them caused travellers to stop in their footsteps whenever they see it. They were only able to bow their heads and sigh. That is how this place obtained its name.\" Putray put down the tobacco pipe in his hand and lowered his head as well to sigh, as if he was responding to his own words.\n\"When the Ancient Empire was still around, this was an infamous spot where criminals were banished to. This was a chaotic place. When the Empire was destroyed, more unrest occurred. It lasted until a branch of the elves moved to this place and stayed here for nearly three hundred years. They moved around freely in the mountain, and when they reached the height of their power, they built their own kingdom… After the Battle of Eradication, the northwest section of the Sighing Mountains was owned by the Western Peninsula, and the southeast section of the mountains belonged to Eastern Peninsula's Hanbol.\"\n'Elves in the Sighing Mountains? Wait, \"Battle of Eradication Chronicles: The World's Destruction\" seemed to have mentioned this before?\nSpeaking of 'elves', Thales could not help but cast a glance at Aida, who was behind him.\n\"What is it?\" Aida noticed Thales' gaze and spread her hands in a frustrated manner. \"I don't know which generation of my relatives lived there either. My history's bad!\"\nThales shook his head and turned his head around to continue listening to Putray's explanations.\nHe could not rely on that elf, who could not even remember his name.\nEven if she was in supreme class.\n\"...The dangerously steep northwest section of the Sighing Mountains runs through the eastern part of Eckstedt and Constellation. Archduke Trentida's Reformation Tower and the Lonely Old Tower of Constellation's Friess Family are respectively located on two different mountains with a valley between them. Both are incredibly wary of each other. Nonetheless, both are spots that are easy to fend against, but difficult to attack.\nPutray smoked his tobacco and looked at the mountain range in the distance with a fascinated expression on his face.\n'Peninsular War?'\nAnother question popped up in Thales' heart.\n\"The war started due to the conflict between the two peninsulas—for example, on the diminishing whales in the Sea of Eradication. After the Battle of Eradication, we found that the Eternal Oil within them was the best fuel, and it was even better than charcoal.\" Putray provided an answer to his question.\n\"This caused the Fourth Peninsular War, which happened in Year 468 of the Calendar of Eradication, turning things into a true world war. The flames of war were no longer restricted to one faction of power traversing the sea to invade another faction of power, instead it reached every corner of the world.\"\nThales remembered the middle-aged king who held a staff and had a smile on his face. He was one of the three Kings of Constellation in Mindis Hall. The portrait of his head was engraved on the country's silver coins and burnt onto Thales' chest. Then, he remembered the Corleone Sisters and the so-called 'Starlit Night Alliance'.\nThales shook his head and chased all of these thoughts out of his head.\n\"You do not agree to Mindis' policy for diplomacy?\" the prince asked curiously.\n\"That is not the case.\" Putray shook his head. \"Forming an alliance with Mane et Nox was something that happened naturally due to the progression of events. The Far Easterners have an ancient proverb that goes like this, 'Form a good relationship with your allies in the distance, and attack your close enemies.'\n\"The Fourth Peninsular War was on an incredibly large scale and the results were devastating,\" Putray was immersed in his thoughts as he slowly spoke, \"but to me, the new political situation also strengthened the ties and relationships between the two peninsulas. The reasons behind the start of a world war were destroyed by the increasingly complicated linkages between the countries, such as the conflict between ourselves and the Western Peninsula. Since the Fourth Peninsular War, we have not gone to war with the peninsulas for two centuries. We have enjoyed more than two hundred years of peace… Before this, the two peninsulas would wage war against each other due to the conflicts between us accumulating so much that they reached a boiling point almost every single century.\"\nThales frowned. He still believed that with the country's productivity levels and its political system, this so-called Peninsular War was a little strange.\nTraversing the sea to launch an expedition on another peninsular… How much manpower and supplies were needed? Were the repercussions and sufferings caused as a result of these wars really something that a little Eternal Oil could compensate for?\nThey continued to move forward as the soldiers by their sides continued to glance at them. Soon, a village materialized before their eyes.\nThales listed his head. He noticed that there were ropes tied around the trees beyond the village. There were quite a large number of food items bound there such as jerky, bread and other items. There were even prey like deer, foxes and rabbits.\n\"My soldiers have already confirmed the safety of this village.\" At that moment, the vassal under Archduke Lampard, Viscount Kentivida, went up to them from the back of the group. He moved past the crowd and proceeded into the village before he dismounted and handed the reins to a soldier. \"We will dismiss a portion of the enlisted soldiers from the villages around the area. You can search for an inn here to rest for a while and enjoy some lunch.\"\nWith Ralf's help, Thales got off his steed and let out a long sigh for being able to temporarily get off his horse. Then, he lifted his head in excitement to observe the village, which was located beside Rayman Pass.\nThe place was supposed to be a small, peaceful village that did not even have a wall. But at that moment, it was surrounded by strong, burly men dressed entirely in armor. Even though most of the army escorts were stationed outside the village to rest, Thales could tell with just one glance that there were Northland soldiers who were moving about. They were engaged in activity under the single-storey houses built from bricks, earth and stone.\nYet curiously, these soldiers did not seem to disturb the peace and quiet within the village. They integrated themselves with the men and women in the village, who were dressed in sackcloth. The village square was already filled with soldiers as well as villagers sitting around and drinking from their mugs. Their laughter shook the skies.\n\"This time, I'm going to win against you in drinking, Craydon!\" There were two people sitting at a huge table, which seemed to be usually used for displaying goods for sale. The table was filled with mugs and a villager was pounding his fist against it. He was looking at the soldier sitting across him, refusing to back down. \"I can drink ten pints within a minute!\"\n\"We'll know right away if you're just bluffing.\" The soldier threw down his axe, took off his chest plate and pounded the table with his fist in a similar manner, refusing to show weakness. \"The person who wins is the only one who can get Arosa's flower crown!\"\nThere was a group of onlookers surrounding them, enthusiastically causing a clamor. One of them was a young lady holding a flower basket. She was laughing loudly.\n\"What a load of bull!\" She put down the flower basket and boldly lifted her skirt to sit down, joining in the drinking contest at the table. \"The person who can outdrink me is the one who will get my flower crown!\"\nThales could not help but chuckle softly. During that instant, he had even slightly forgotten that these Eckstedt soldiers had clashed with his guards on the battlefield, trying to kill each other.\nThis was different compared to the well-behaved civilians Thales came into contact with in Constellation's Eternal Star City; a different society from the city, which had distinct social class boundaries. The rhythm in this Eckstedt village was wild and lively, the atmosphere was relaxed and full of enthusiasm. The villagers were basically tall and well-built Northlanders. They had bold appearances and their laughter was hearty.\n\"Hey, Tolja, how long are we staying here?\" A soldier with a full-grown beard shouted loudly in their direction. He seemed like a mid-rank officer and he was carrying a warhammer as well as a wooden mug in his other hand. \"Come on, please tell me we're staying overnight!\"\n\"We're leaving by noon,\" Tolja replied loudly with displeasure, \"Before that, tighten your pants around your waist, Metalhead Crocer!\"\nThales did not bother about the soldiers and villagers who were pointing at him as they whispered among themselves. He did not bother about their disdainful and malicious gazes either. He followed Kentvida and Tolja, moving forward. Behind him were the members of the diplomat group.\n\"Are you certain that the safest way is for the soldiers to enter the village and drink with the villagers?\" A Northland soldier was swinging his arm over the villagers' shoulders and laughing boisterously as the duo walked past them. The prince's young attendant, Wya Caso saw this and cautiously pressed down on the sword by his waist. With a tone that showed he did not truly approve of this, he said, \"If I was an assassin, I could blend in with the villagers.\"\n\"Don't be too nervous. This is not Constellation, it's Eckstedt!\" Viscount Kentvida laughed loudly. \"Most of the people in the village are veterans who have been released from military service. They can be trusted… In truth, due to their honor and dignity, the prince, who is a guest here, will be even safer in their midst.\"\nWya shrugged, curling his lips to express his doubts.\n\"Do not worry.\" Thales nodded at his attendant. \"The soldiers have already dispersed and blended into the village. Even assassins will have to think about the possibilities and consequences of an assassination.\"\n\"Hero Tavern. It was opened twenty years ago by a retired veteran,\" Tolja said faintly by the side, \"The rye wine in the tavern is well-known far and wide.\"\nThales, who was curiously taking in the sights around him, followed Kentvida and Tolja into a larger stone building. A large sign of a wine mug was hung on the door. The Fire Knight pushed open the two doors and walked into the noisy Hero Tavern.\nThales followed him and stepped into the warm stone building. Once the chill in his body was chased away, he noticed that the guests filling the tavern suddenly fell silent. Plenty of people cast their gazes on Thales. He recognized that some of the guests were Northland Soldiers, and it was clear that they had just arrived.\nHowever, several seconds later, the lively atmosphere returned to the tavern, as if the people who came in were just a couple of normal people.\nWith a condescending expression, he said, \"It doesn't matter if it's the king, a priest, a foreigner, or even a god. No one can chase away my customers here!\"\nWya frowned.\nThe old man then narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to look at Thales. A strange expression appeared on his face. \"You sure have a lot of people… I only serve customers who can pay to buy wine.\"\nThales smiled at him.\nThe prince could not help but notice that the old man in front of his eyes may be quite ripe in his age, probably at least sixty years old. However, his biceps and triceps were still well-toned, his waist was thick and he stood up straight. His gaze was direct and fierce.\n\"Kaslan! Don't worry about the numbers or the problem about money!\" Kentvida laughed. He sat down without reservation in front of the bar counter before he dug out a money pouch. \"We have plenty of golden circular pieces that have Raikaru's head portrait on them… Let me tell you something else, the Archduke of Black Sand asked me to send you his regards and greet Madam Talia!\"\nA thought appeared in Thales' head. 'He's just a retired veteran and a normal owner of a tavern, yet the Archduke of Black Sand has taken personal interest in him?'\nBut Kentvida did not obtain the response he should have gotten.\n\"Each mug of rye wine is six Eckstedt bronze coins and the price of each mug for nobles is sixty.\" The owner of the tavern, the old Kaslan, cast a glance at the money pouch with an aloof expression. He then pushed it back before he let out a cold harrumph. \"Also, I don't accept gold coins.\n\"Especially gold coins from Lampard, who killed his own family.\"\nKentvida's expression instantly froze.\nThales was also shocked. 'Killed his own family?'\nKentvida spread his hands towards Tolja, who was behind him, and put on a resigned expression.\n\"That was a battle of inheritance. It is an ancient ceremony.\" Tolja walked forward and brought out a pouch full of Eckstedt bronze and silver coins. Without batting an eyelid, he continued to speak flatly, \"The archduke defeated his older brother, that is all… His death was just an accident.\"\n\"He can argue however he wants. He killed his family and that's that!\" The old Kaslan received the money pouch in disdain. \"As for that so called ancient ceremonial battle… That's something in the past, and what the citizens of the Empire used to make us kill each other.\"\n'The Archduke of Black Sand killed his older brother, won his right of inheritance, and adhered to a ceremonial battle that seemingly came from the Ancient Empire?'\nThales quietly stored that information in his heart.\nHe then cast a glance at the boorish old man. 'Additionally… this tavern owner does not have an ordinary background. He does not seem to be on the same side as Lampard.\n'Perhaps I can obtain some information from him?'\n\"So there's one, two, three… six, seven, eight…\" Kaslan weighed the money pouch in his hand and counted the number of people in front of him.\n\"Wait!\" An idea suddenly struck Thales and he spoke in the nick of time, \"Let them pay with the Archduke of Black Sand's money, but we will pay with our own money… We have, er… about a dozen people…\"\nKaslan's eyes moved and noticed Thales, who was not even at the height of the bar counter.\nKentvida frowned and looked at Thales, as if he had something in his mind.\nThales nodded in Putray's direction. The latter raised his brows, then walked forward and brought out a few silver coins as well as bronze coins.\n\"Ah, I recognize this head portrait… The Oath Keeper Midier, yes?\" Kaslan took the silver coins and threw them away casually. Instead, he picked the bronze coin with Midier's head portrait engraved on it. He scrutinized the picture on it before he lifted his head and laughed, revealing a mouth full of yellowing teeth. \"The lot of you are from the Empire?\"\nThales smiled and shook his head. \"No, we come from Constellation.\"\nBy his side, Wya's expression changed, and Putray looked like he was thinking of something.\n\"I get it, brat. You're the Prince of Constellation… the one who has come to apologize.\" Kaslan stared at him straight. \"You have a long and arduous journey ahead of you.\"\nThales shrugged.\n\"Alright.\" Kaslan snorted. \"Constellation's silver coins are even more valuable than our silver coins. There's no reason for me to not receive your money.\"\n\"Hey!\" Kentvida protested. \"Is Archduke Lampard's gold coin not money now?\"\n\"Hmph, Brian!\" Hero Tavern's owner ignored the viscount. He shouted at the top of his lungs and tapped the wooden window behind him. \"Twenty mugs of rye wine… The normal one will do!\"\nA tall man with black hair and in his thirties walked out from behind the counter. There was a scar from a burn on the left side of his face. He let out a cold harrumph.\nIn a bad mood, the tavern assistant lifted a thin wooden stick and turned towards the wooden cabinet behind him. Then, with a shake of his arm, he hooked the ears of a dozen something wooden mugs with great proficiency and pulled them over, having them lined on the wooden stick like a kebab.\nHe shook his arm again, and the dozen something mugs fell on the bar counter. Brian nimbly extracted the wooden stick and lifted a huge, wooden wine barrel. As he poured the wine into the mugs, he looked at the group with a hostile expression. He even glared at Thales in the process.\n\"This isn't something that can be done with regular arm strength.\" Wya looked at the assistant's movements and his expression changed. He spoke in a low tone, \"I can bet that he's an expert with the sword.\"\nTolja said flatly, \"Of course. Hero Tavern is the gathering and also parting place for retired Northland soldiers.\"\nThales discovered dejectedly that he could not even haul himself up the chair by the bar counter. He was just not tall enough. If he had spoken up while the crowd was watching him, it would have been incredibly awkward.\nAt this moment, a guard who knew sign language was incredibly important.\nRalf picked Thales up and placed him on the bar counter's high stool (The attendant, Wya, who discovered that he did not managed to perform his duty once more, frowned again). Kentvida and Putray sat down by his side. As for the citizens of Constellation and Eckstedt, they were split into two very distinct groups. They sat down on two round tables, and their soldiers glared at each other.\n\"Oh, heavens.\" Willow looked at the noisy Northland customers around him. Brimming with spirit, he said, \"I have never drunk in a place so far away before.\"\n\"Keep those two pikes of yours close to your side.\" The veteran, Genard spoke with a frown, \"They may pounce on us at any moment.\"\nThales' lips curled up as he brought out his skills of engaging in small talk with others. It had been lying dormant in his memories. \"Mister Kaslan, when did you open Hero Tavern? Why did you name it as such?\"\n\"It's been twenty years since I opened it.\" Kaslan watched as Brian filled the mugs with a lackadaisical expression and brought three of them to the bar counter. He had Brian bring the other mugs to the others on a tray. \"I got injured and I retired. Then, I returned to my hometown to open a tavern… As to why I called it Hero Tavern, heh, my wife was the one who gave it such a boring name.\"\nThales touched the wooden mug, which was half the size of his head, then rationally decided not to touch it. \"Oh, by the way, when I entered the village, I noticed that there were all sorts of food tied on the trees near the entrance. What is that for?\"\n\"The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter is about to arrive.\" Kaslan yawned and brought them a few plates of black bread. The bread did not stir up any form of appetite in the others when they saw it. \"That is a present to the mountains.\"\nAccustomed to the black bread, Tolja and Kentvida picked it up and ate it as they drank the rye wine. The latter was even looking at the distressed Wya, who did not know how to eat the bread. He was looking at Wya as if he was watching a good show.\n\"It's best that you eat some of it,\" Kentvida said flatly, \"We have to press on in the afternoon… and we'll only set up camp at night.\"\n'Constellatiates who have lived comfortable lives…' Kentvida laughed at them mockingly in his heart. 'This is Hero Tavern's signature dish and a Northland village staple made from common coarse grain.'\nWya stared at the black bread in front of him with a frown.\nPutray sighed and picked up the bread. 'Looks like this is our food for today's lunch.\n'Perhaps Kentvida is doing this intentionally. He's either testing the prince's attitude, or perhaps, taking revenge on the prince for giving him the cold shoulder. It's one of the two.'\n\"Present for the mountains?\" Thales chewed on the tough bread and asked curiously in a muffled tone, \"The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter?\"\n'Mm… the taste is not bad. I can actually bite through just by chewing on it… It's not like the black bread from the Brotherhood. When it gets really bad, we even have to use fire to roast it.'\nKaslan's expression changed. He looked at Thales, and his gaze was increasingly filled with interest.\n\"The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter is a natural phenomenon unique to the Northland. At this time, the Northland will welcome the coldest time of the year. Daytime will be drastically cut short. The people who venture out must wear incredibly thick, fur-lined jackets and have enough materials to keep the fire going, and they cannot leave too far into the distance. The time where they can work outdoors will be limited to three hours.\" Putray observed with a strange expression on his face as Thales ate with gusto.\nWya ate the bread with a long face, and only felt like hurling. However, when he saw that Ralf was enjoying the bread, he gained his appetite once more as his competitive spirit was instantly lit up. \"The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter will last for several weeks if it's short; one month if it's long,\" Putray continued saying, \"As for the presents to the mountains…\"\n\"Those are gifts for the gods.\" The tavern's owner, the old Kaslan grinned and continued, \"We will hang the first game we obtain during the day or the first food we touch on the tree. It will belong entirely to the gods… Only the travellers who are forced to venture out during the Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter can partake of it, because it is by the gods' grace.\"\n\"Gods…\" Thales swallowed the bread. \"Which God is it? Sunset? Bright Moon? Dark Night?\"\nIn his memories, the more popular gods who had their own temples in Eternal Star City were these three.\n\"The Master of Mountains.\"\nConstellation, Eternal Star City's Western District, Entrance to Western City Police Station.\n\"I'm sorry, Captain Kohen Karabeyan has applied for a month's leave.\" Western City Police Station's secretary, Miss Jorah, looked coldly at the young brunette with short hair who was standing in front of her. \"I mean, at least a month.\"\n'She's taller than me.\n'Her legs are longer than mine.\n'Her a** is bigger than mine.'\nMiss Jorah thought furiously.\n'Thankfully, my chest is bigger than hers.'\nThen, Miss Jorah straightened her figure, which she was proud of. She twirled her long, red hair, and said proudly, \"If you're looking for him, you can leave a message… I see him often, I can deliver your message to him.\"\n'And, she isn't as feminine as I am.\n'She looks like a boy.'\n'Yes, and she speaks in such a crude manner… She doesn't seem like a woman at all.'\nAs Miss Jorah thought about this, her mood instantly became better.\n'Yup, that is the voice of a drake…' She would absolutely not admit that it sounded heroic.\nThe brunette remained silent for a moment as she looked at Miss Jorah.\nMiss Jorah felt a little embarrassed.\nShortly after, the brunette lowered her head and looked at the Sword of the Twin Towers emblem on her right hand. Her lips then curled up into a smile.\nUnder the secretary's impatient gaze, the brunette licked her lips.\n\"The woman who laid in his bosom that day in Red Street Market misses him.\"\nMiss Jorah's expression changed, as if she had been struck by lightning.\nMiss Jorah glared at the woman in disbelief. She frowned while her expression continued to changed.\n'How could it be?\n'This woman?\n\"Alright, I was just joking.\" Under the secretary's murderous gaze, the descendant of the Assassin's Flower laughed while she clutched her abdomen and waved her hand. \"I only met… that blond co… police officer once.\"\n'And saved his life.'\n\"You like him, have a crush on him, you love him so much that you could die, you want to have his children, yada yada.\" As the secretary once again gave her a strange look, Jala shook her head. \"I don't care about that… I don't want to become your competitor or your rival in love either. I'm just here to ask him for help.\"\n\"Don't worry… He isn't my type.\" The former bartender put on a bright smile.\nIn a rare show, the secretary blushed.\nShe looked at Jala's sincere gaze and was speechless. She suddenly blanked out and did not know what to do at that moment.\n\"Alright.\" Miss Jorah turned her head away in embarrassment. The red flush on her cheeks had yet to disappear. She spoke resignedly, \"The truth is, Captain Kohen… has returned to the Tower of Eradication. We can use messenger pigeons to communicate with him. You can write him a letter, and then—\"\n\"Alright, I'll write him a letter.\" The young, former bartender nodded, as though she was thinking of something. \"Thank you, Miss Jorah.\"\n\"Honestly, if it isn't anything too troublesome,\" the secretary said in slight embarrassment, \"perhaps, I can help you. After all, you're Kohen's friend as well…\"\n'Then, you won't have to look for Captain Kohen.'\nMiss Jorah clenched her fist in her heart. 'Did you think that it would end just because you said you didn't like him?\n'Don't underestimate a woman's obsession, whether it's her own or that of her rival in love!'\nJala looked at Jorah in surprise, then she cracked a smile.\nJala suddenly stopped speaking. It looked as if she had thought of something.\nMiss Jorah had on an expectant expression.\n\"Perhaps, you can actually help me,\" she said slowly, \"Jorah, you're the secretary of the police station. You can see all the files, bounties and information in there. Could you help me keep an eye out on some information?\"\nMiss Jorah smiled and nodded. \"Of course, if it isn't something top secret… What do you want to know?\"\nMiss Jorah took out a pen and paper.\nMiss Jorah lifted her head in curiosity.\n\"One of them is a ten-year-old boy called Sinti. He's slightly larger than the average child.\n\"Another one is a small girl with a round scar left from a burn on her face. She's Coria, about four or five years old.\n\"And one more is a seven or eight-year-old named Ryan. He doesn't have a right arm.\"\n\"Is that all?\" Miss Jorah nodded. \"I'll go back and see whether there are any notices or reports regarding cracks on human traffickers…\"\n\"Wait,\" Jala lifted her head and said with a serious expression, \"I'm also looking for another boy.\n\"He went missing near Red Street Market and could have possibly fallen into the hands of Blood Bottle Gang.\n\"He has black hair, grey eyes, and is about seven to eight years old.\"\nJala's eyes dimmed. \"He is a-a boy that doesn't seem like a normal boy.\"\nMiss Jorah lifted her head in surprise.\n\"He's a little too smart and mature,\" Jala lowered her eyes and continued explaining.\n\"My brother says that he has seen children like that before; a boy and a girl.\n\"Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for you.\"" } ]
第45章 “您眼中所见的这片起伏不定的大地即叹息丘陵，分布在叹息山脉的西缘看，远方那些峰顶盖雪，直入云端的山就是叹息山脉。 Ｅ┡ㄟ．”骑在马上的普提莱指着视野远处高耸入云的山峰，为泰尔斯讲解着北地的地理。 泰尔斯抬起头，放宽自己的视野，在寒气逼人的环境里呼出一口热气。 “叹息山脉曾是远古帝国时代的大地上最高的山脉，北接魁古尔冰川，纵向隔开帝国北部的北地行省与东荒行省，向南逐渐平缓延伸到绿心行省北侧，也就是现在的星辰东海领，即库伦公爵的封地。 叹息山脉之险，攀登之难，都令旅人望之却步，唯有低头叹息，是以得名。” “远古帝国尚在时，这里就是著名的流放与混乱之地，帝国覆灭后动荡更甚，直到山脉里迁居来了精灵的一支，扎根于此近三百年，在山岳之间来去自如，鼎盛时期自成王国……终结之战后，叹息山脉的西北侧归于西6，东南叹息山脉则在东6的翰布尔王朝境内。” 叹息山脉里的精灵？ 等等，好像那本终结战纪：天崩地裂里有讲过？ 说到“精灵”，泰尔斯不由得瞥了一眼身后的埃达。 “怎么了？” 埃达注意到泰尔斯的眼神，没好气地摊开双手：“我也不知道那些是我的第几代亲戚，我历史又学得不好！” 泰尔斯摇摇头，转回头继续听普提莱的讲解。 不能指望这个连自己名字都记不住的精灵。 哪怕是个极境。 “……险峻的西北叹息山脉纵跨埃克斯特与星辰两国的东部，特卢迪达大公的再造塔和星辰王国福瑞斯家族的孤老塔，分别坐落在两座山峰上隔谷相望，两边都对彼此忌惮非常，偏偏都易守难攻。” 普提莱抽了一口烟斗，看着远方的山脉，露出迷醉的色彩。 大6战争？ 泰尔斯心里又冒出一个疑问。 “战争肇始于两片大6之间的矛盾比如终结海里的鲸群。 “这使得始于终结历468年的第四次大6战争，变成了名副其实的世界大战，战火不再局限在一方纠结势力，跨海侵袭另一方，而是波及世上的每一个角落。” 泰尔斯想起闵迪思厅里，星辰三王中那位微笑持杖的中年国王，他镌刻在银币上的头像，以及自己胸口的烧疤，随即他又想起科里昂的那对血族姐妹以及所谓的“星夜同盟”。 泰尔斯摇摇头，把这些赶出自己的脑袋。 “你不赞成闵迪思的外交政策吗？” 穿越者好奇地问。 “并非如此，”普提莱摇摇头：“与夙夜联盟是大势所趋远东古谚也有言，交好远方的盟友，攻伐临近的敌人。” “虽然第四次大6战争规模浩大，代价惨重，”普提莱一面沉思着，一面缓缓道：“但在我看来，新的政治形势也加强了两片大6的连接和联系，爆世界大战的条件，都被消弭在越复杂的联动局势之中，比如我们跟埃克斯特的西6冲突从第四次大6战争到现在，我们已经两个世纪未曾有跨大6的大战，享有过两百年的和平……在此前的几乎每个世纪，我们都有两片大6矛盾积累到极点之后的大6战争。” 泰尔斯皱起眉头他总觉得以这样的国家生产力和政治制度，所谓的大6战争哪里有些怪怪的。 跨海远征大6……这需要多大的动员力和后勤补给？ 诸国所付出的代价真的是那点永世油就能补偿的吗？ 他们在一路上两侧士兵投射而来目光中前进，不多时，眼前出现了一个村庄。 泰尔斯抬起眼，他现村庄外的树木上都绑着一根根绳子，有不少都拴着食物，诸如肉干、面包等等，甚至还有鹿、狐狸、雪兔等猎物。 这是北地的习俗吗？ “我的士兵们已经确认了这个村庄的安全，”就在此时，伦巴大公的属下封臣，坎比达子爵从后方跟来，他越过众人，骑进村庄后下马，把缰绳交给一位士兵，“我们会解散一部分家乡在附近的征召兵，您可以在里面的一家酒馆稍事休憩，享用午餐。” 泰尔斯在罗尔夫的帮助下蹬下坐骑，为能够暂时摆脱这匹马而长舒一口气，然后兴趣满满地抬起头，观察着这个莱曼隘口旁的村庄。 这本该是一个连围墙都没有的宁静小村庄，此时却布满了身形壮硕、全副武装的彪形大汉。 虽然大部分的护送军队都在村庄之外驻扎休憩，但泰尔斯眼中所见，用砖木土石搭建的平房房檐下，依然到处是来来回回、熙熙攘攘的北地士兵。 但奇特的是，这些士兵似乎没有打扰这个村庄的清净，他们与麻布粗袄打扮的村中男男女女们打成一片，尤其是村庄中的广场一带，此刻早已坐满了士兵和村民们，酒杯来回，笑声震天。 “这次我要干翻你，克朗顿！” 一张似乎是平常兜售商货的大木桌旁，坐着两个人，一个村民模样的男人大力地砸着摆满酒杯的桌面，看着对面一个不甘示弱的士兵大喝道：“一分钟，我能喝十杯！” “我们马上就知道你是不是在吹牛了，”士兵丢下斧头，脱下胸甲，同样不忿地砸着桌面，“赢的人才能得到阿萝莎的花圈！” 围成一圈的旁观者热烈地起哄，其中一个提着花篮的年轻姑娘则哈哈大笑。 “放什么狗屁！” 她放下花篮，豪爽地一掀裙子坐下，加入到圆桌上的酒局：“喝得过我的人才能拿到我的花圈！” 泰尔斯不由得轻笑起来，在那一瞬，他甚至有点淡忘了，正是这群埃克斯特士兵，在战场上与他的护卫们舍命相敌，彼此杀戮。 与泰尔斯在永星城中所接触到的那个规矩市侩，阶层地位分明的社会不同，这个埃克斯特的乡野小村的节奏显得野性而轻快，气氛热烈而轻松，村民基本都是高大壮健的北地人，相貌粗豪，笑容爽朗。 “嘿，图勒哈，我们要在这儿呆多久？” 一个中层军官模样的大胡子士兵一手扛着战锤一手拿着木质酒杯，对着他们大声喊道：“拜托，请告诉我可以过夜！” “下午就出，”图勒哈不满地大声回敬道：“在那之前，把你的裤子给我勒紧了，铁头阔克！” 泰尔斯毫不在意路边士兵和村民的指指点点，也不乏轻蔑和恶意的眼神，他跟着坎比达和图勒哈一路向前，后面则跟着使团的众人。 “你们确认安全的方式就是让士兵们进村庄，去跟村民们喝酒？” 看着一旁走过，跟村民们勾肩搭背、开怀大笑的北地士兵，王子年轻的侍从官，怀亚卡索警惕地按着腰间的剑，不甚认可：“如果我是刺客，就会混在这些村民里。” “别太紧张，这里不是星辰，是埃克斯特！” 坎比达子爵哈哈大笑道：“这个村庄里几乎都是退役的老兵，他们信得过……事实上，出于荣誉和尊严，在他们之中，身为客人的王子只会更加安全。” 怀亚则耸耸肩，撇嘴表达他的怀疑。 “别担心，”泰尔斯对着他的侍从官点点头：“士兵们都四散渗入了村庄里，就算是刺客，也要思量暴起行刺的可能与代价。” “英雄酒馆，一名退役老战士三十年前所开的酒馆，”一旁的图勒哈淡淡地道：“而里面的黑麦醇酒则远近闻名。” 好奇打量着四周的泰尔斯，跟着坎比达和图勒哈走向一栋较大的石屋，石屋的门上挂着一个硕大的酒杯招牌。 火炙骑士推开两扇大门，走进人声鼎沸的英雄酒馆。 泰尔斯跟着踏进温暖的石屋，把寒气甩在身后，看着这个布满了客人的酒馆瞬间安静下来，许多人把目光投向他们，泰尔斯认出客人中有不少是北地士兵，显然是刚刚到此不久。 但几秒钟后，酒馆就又恢复了热烈的气氛，仿佛进来的只是几个普通人。 “无论是国王、祭祀、外国人，哪怕神灵，没人能在这里赶走我的客人！” 怀亚一皱眉头。 老头随即眯眼低下头看向泰尔斯，露出古怪的神色：“你们的人有些多……我只招待付钱买酒的客人。” 泰尔斯对他笑了一下。 穿越者不禁注意到，眼前这个沧桑老头虽然有些年纪了，起码六十以上，但他的臂肌仍然达，腰身粗壮而挺拔，眼神直接而凶猛。 别担心人数和酒钱的问题！” 坎比达哈哈一笑，不客气地坐上吧台，掏出一个钱袋，“我们这儿有的是带着耐卡茹头像的金色小圆片……顺便一句，黑沙大公托我向你问好！” 泰尔斯眼神一动：一个退役的老兵，普通的酒馆老板，能让黑沙大公亲自过问？ 但坎比达显然没有得到应有的回应。 “每杯黑麦酒六个埃克斯特铜子，贵族的价格则是六十个，”酒馆的老板，老头卡斯兰表情冷淡地瞥了一眼钱袋，随即把它推了回去，冷哼一声：“还有，我不收金币。” “特别是来自那个弑亲伦巴的金币。” 坎比达的脸色顿时一僵。 泰尔斯也心中一惊：弑亲？ 坎比达向着身后的图勒哈摊摊手，露出无奈的表情。 “那是遵循古礼的继承权决斗，”图勒哈走上前来，不动声色地掏出一个满是埃克斯特铜币和银币的袋子，淡淡道：“大公他击败了自己的长兄，仅此而已……伤亡只是意外。” “随他怎么狡辩吧，弑亲就是弑亲！” 老头卡斯兰不屑地收下钱袋，“至于所谓的决斗古礼……那是以前，帝国人用来让我们自相残杀的玩意儿。” 黑沙大公杀死了自己的哥哥，夺取了继承权，遵循的似乎是远古帝国的某种决斗仪式？ 泰尔斯默默地把这个情报放进心里。 还有……泰尔斯看向眼前的粗犷老头：这个酒馆老板的身份不简单，而且跟伦巴似乎不是一个立场的。 也许可以从这里收集一些情报？ “所以是一、二、三……六、七、八……”卡斯兰掂了掂钱袋，数着眼前的人数。 “等等！” 卡斯兰的眼珠一转，重新注意到连吧台都够不到的泰尔斯。 坎比达皱起眉头，若有所思地看向泰尔斯。 泰尔斯向着普提莱点点头，后者眉头一挑，随即走上前去，抓出几个银币。 “啊，我认得这个头像……守誓之王，米迪尔是么，”卡斯兰接过银币，仔细端详着上面的图案，随即抬起头，嘿嘿一笑，露出满口黄牙：“你们来自帝国？” “不，”泰尔斯笑着摇摇头：“我们来自星辰。” 他身边的怀亚脸色一变，而普提莱则若有所思。 “我知道了，小鬼，你是那个星辰的王子……来道歉的。” 卡斯兰直直地盯着他：“还真是长途跋涉啊。” 泰尔斯耸耸肩。 “好吧，”卡斯兰哼笑一声：“没道理跟钱过不去。” “喂！” 坎比达抗议道：“伦巴大公的金币就不是钱了吗？” “嘿，布瑞因！” 这位英雄酒馆的老板没有理会子爵阁下，他放开嗓门，敲了敲身后的木窗：“二十杯麦酒……普通的就行！” 吧台后走出一个三十来岁的高个黑大汉，他的左脸上有一道烧伤的疤痕，冷哼一声。 只见这个酒馆伙计一脸不爽地举起一根细木棍，转向后方的橱柜，手臂一振，熟练地串起十几个木酒杯的杯耳，像串烧一样把它们拉起来。 他的手臂又一振，十几个杯子齐齐砸上吧台。 布瑞因灵巧地抽出木棍，然后扛起一个大木酒桶，开始朝着排成一排的酒杯倒酒，一边倒，一边神色不善地注视着众人，中间狠狠地瞪了泰尔斯一眼。 “这不是臂力能做到的，”怀亚看着伙计的动作，神情一动，低声道：“我打赌，他是个用剑的高手。” “当然，英雄酒馆，”图勒哈淡淡地道：“北地退役士兵的集散地。” 泰尔斯难过地现，自己连吧台的椅子都够不到，在众目睽睽下直接出声又过于尴尬。 这时候，有个会手语的护卫就显得格外重要。 罗尔夫把泰尔斯抱上吧台的高脚椅现自己再次失业的侍从官怀亚重新皱起眉头，坎比达和普提莱在他左右两侧坐下，星辰和埃克斯特的人则分成泾渭分明的两批人，分别在两个圆桌边坐下，士兵们虎视眈眈地盯着彼此。 “我的天，”威罗看着周围闹腾着的北地酒客们，神采奕奕地道：“我还从来没来过这么远的地方喝酒。” “拿好你的双枪，”老兵杰纳德皱眉道：“没准他们什么时候就会扑上来。” “卡斯兰先生，”泰尔斯弯起嘴角，拿出记忆中与人攀谈的本事：“您是什么时候开的英雄酒馆？ 为什么叫这个名字？” “有三十年咯，”卡斯兰懒洋洋地看着布瑞因把酒杯倒满，然后把其中三杯端上吧台，另外的让布瑞因自己端盘送出去：“受伤退役后就回家乡开了酒馆……至于为什么叫英雄酒馆，嘿，我婆娘取的无聊名字。” “对了，”泰尔斯摸了摸有自己半个头高的木质酒杯，理智地决定不去碰它：“我进村庄时，现门口的树木上都绑着各色的食物，那是怎么回事？” “绝日严寒就要来了，”卡斯兰打个哈欠，端上几盘看着就不怎么让人有食欲的黑面包：“那是群山的馈赠。” 图勒哈和坎比达都习以为常地抓起黑面包，就着麦酒啃进嘴里，后者还一脸看好戏的表情，看着一脸愁苦，无从下口的怀亚。 “最好多吃一点吧，”坎比达淡淡地道：“我们下午还要赶路……晚上才会扎营。” 养尊处优的星辰人……坎比达心中轻笑：这可是英雄酒馆的招牌，北地村民的普通粗粮。 怀亚皱着眉看着眼前的黑面包。 普提莱叹出一口气，抓起面包看来这就是今天中午的食粮了。 大概是坎比达故意的举动，试探王子的态度，或者报复王子的冷淡，二者其一。 然后毫不在意地啃下一口。 “群山的馈赠？” 泰尔斯大口地嚼动着嘴里硬实的面包，好奇地含糊问道：“绝日严寒？” 嗯，味道居然还不错，只需要磨着咬就能咬开……不像兄弟会里的黑面包，糟糕的时候还要用火烤。 卡斯兰的神情一动，看向泰尔斯的眼神越来越有趣。 “绝日严寒是北地特有的天气，彼时北地将迎来一年中最寒冷的时刻，日照的时间急剧缩短，外出的人必须身着极厚的皮袄，且带足火源补给，还不能离开太远，每日户外活动的时间会被压缩到三个小时以内。” 普提莱眼神古怪地看着吃得津津有味的泰尔斯。 怀亚苦着脸吃下一口面包，只觉得想吐，但他看着旁边的罗尔夫也甘之如饴的样子，顿时重燃食欲和斗志。 “那是给神灵的礼物，”酒馆老板，老头卡斯兰嘿嘿一笑，接过话头：“将今天第一个猎到的猎物，第一个触碰的食物，挂上树梢，即属神灵所有……只有在绝日严寒中不得不出门在外的旅人可以取用，是为来自神灵的恩惠。” “神灵……”泰尔斯咽下面包：“是哪位神灵，落日，皓月，冥夜？” 他的记忆中，永星城内较为出名还有着自己神殿的神灵，似乎就是这三位。 “群山之主。” 星辰王国，永星城西环区，西城警戒厅门口。 “抱歉，科恩卡拉比扬队长请了一个月的长假，”西城警戒厅的秘书，乔拉小姐一脸冷淡地看着眼前这个年轻的棕色短女孩：“我是说，至少一个月。” 长得比我高。 腿比我长。 屁股比我翘。 乔拉小姐不忿地想。 还好，我的胸比她大。 随即，乔拉小姐挺起傲人的身姿，捋过头上的红色长，骄傲地道：“你若是要找他的话，可以留下口信……我经常见到他，可以帮你转告给他。” 没我有女人味。 看着像个男孩子。 嗯，说话也是粗声粗气的……一点不像个女人。 乔拉小姐这么想道，顿时觉得心情好了很多。 嗯，那就是公鸭嗓……她绝不承认那是“英气”。 棕色短的女人沉默了一阵，静静地看着乔拉小姐。 乔拉小姐觉得有些窘迫。 棕的女孩随即低下头，看着右手上那个双塔长剑标志的纹章，嘴角挽起笑容。 在秘书小姐不耐烦的眼神下，棕女孩舔了舔自己的嘴唇。 “红坊街那天，躺在他怀里的女人，想他了。” 乔拉小姐脸色一变，如遭雷击。 乔拉小姐瞪起难以置信的双眼，皱紧眉头，神情不定地看着眼前的女人。 怎么会。 这个女人？ “好吧，我开玩笑的，”在秘书小姐杀人的眼神下，刺客之花的后裔一边抚着腹部，一边笑着摆手：“我跟那个金的青……的警戒官只见过一面。” 顺便救了他一命而已。 “你喜欢他，暗恋他，爱他爱得死去活来，想为他生孩子什么的，”在秘书小姐再次变得古怪的眼神下，娅拉摇摇头：“我都不关心……我也不是你的竞争对手或情敌，而仅仅只是找他帮个忙而已。” “放心……他还不是我喜欢的类型。” 前任女酒保露出灿烂的笑容。 秘书小姐罕见地脸红了。 她看着娅拉真诚的眼神，一时有些手足无措，无言以对。 沉默持续了十几秒。 乔拉小姐最终呼出一口气。 娅拉笑了。 “好，我会给他写信的，”年轻的前任女酒保点点头，思考着什么：“谢谢你，乔拉小姐。” “事实上，如果不是太麻烦的事情的话，”秘书小姐有些窘地道：“也许我也可以帮你的。 这样你就不用去找科恩队长了。 乔拉小姐默默在心底握拳：你以为说句不喜欢他就完事了？ 不要小看女人的执着啊，无论是自己的还是情敌的！ 娅拉诧异地看着乔拉，随即破颜一笑。 娅拉突然止住了话头，她想起了什么。 乔拉小姐露出期待的眼神。 “也许你真的能帮我的忙，”她缓缓道：“乔拉，你是警戒厅的秘书，无论是案件、通缉、情报，你都能看到，能帮我留意一些信息吗？” 乔拉小姐露出笑容，她点点头：“当然，如果不是机密的话……你想知道些什么呢？” 乔拉小姐拿出纸笔。 乔拉小姐奇怪地抬起头。 “一个十岁的男孩，叫辛提，个子比一般孩子大一些。” “一个脸上有圆形烫疤的小女孩，叫科莉亚，四五岁左右。” “一个七八岁的男孩，叫莱恩，没有右手。” “就这些？” “等等，”娅拉抬起头，正色道：“我要找的，还有一个小男孩。” “他失踪在红坊街附近，很可能落在血瓶帮的手里了。” “黑，灰眸，七八岁的样子。” “不像正常孩子的……孩子。” 乔拉小姐诧异地抬起头。 “他有些过分聪明，过分成熟了。” 娅拉低垂着眼眉，继续解释道。 “我哥哥说，类似的小孩他也见过两个一男一女。” “好吧，总之，我会帮你留意的。”
Chapter 111: Kaslan’s Tavern Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation "The land you see rising and falling before you is the Sighing Hills. The hills located at the border to the east of Sighing Mountains. Look, the snow-covered summits in the distance going straight into the clouds are the Sighing Mountains." As he rode on his horse, Putray pointed towards the mountains in the distance, which towered into the clouds as far as they could see. He was providing information regarding the geography of the Northland to Thales. Thales raised his head and expanded his field of vision. He then let out a puff of warm air in the biting, cold environment. "The Sighing Mountains were once the tallest mountains during the age of the Ancient Empire. The range was connected to Glacier Quiquer to the north and travelled south through the Northland Province as well as Eastern Southland Province, which separated the Empire's northern region. It is currently Constellation's Eastern Sea Hill, and also Duke Cullen's fiefdom. The dangers in the Sighing Mountains and the difficulties faced when climbing them caused travellers to stop in their footsteps whenever they see it. They were only able to bow their heads and sigh. That is how this place obtained its name." Putray put down the tobacco pipe in his hand and lowered his head as well to sigh, as if he was responding to his own words. "When the Ancient Empire was still around, this was an infamous spot where criminals were banished to. This was a chaotic place. When the Empire was destroyed, more unrest occurred. It lasted until a branch of the elves moved to this place and stayed here for nearly three hundred years. They moved around freely in the mountain, and when they reached the height of their power, they built their own kingdom… After the Battle of Eradication, the northwest section of the Sighing Mountains was owned by the Western Peninsula, and the southeast section of the mountains belonged to Eastern Peninsula's Hanbol." 'Elves in the Sighing Mountains? Wait, "Battle of Eradication Chronicles: The World's Destruction" seemed to have mentioned this before? Speaking of 'elves', Thales could not help but cast a glance at Aida, who was behind him. "What is it?" Aida noticed Thales' gaze and spread her hands in a frustrated manner. "I don't know which generation of my relatives lived there either. My history's bad!" Thales shook his head and turned his head around to continue listening to Putray's explanations. He could not rely on that elf, who could not even remember his name. Even if she was in supreme class. "...The dangerously steep northwest section of the Sighing Mountains runs through the eastern part of Eckstedt and Constellation. Archduke Trentida's Reformation Tower and the Lonely Old Tower of Constellation's Friess Family are respectively located on two different mountains with a valley between them. Both are incredibly wary of each other. Nonetheless, both are spots that are easy to fend against, but difficult to attack. Putray smoked his tobacco and looked at the mountain range in the distance with a fascinated expression on his face. 'Peninsular War?' Another question popped up in Thales' heart. "The war started due to the conflict between the two peninsulas—for example, on the diminishing whales in the Sea of Eradication. After the Battle of Eradication, we found that the Eternal Oil within them was the best fuel, and it was even better than charcoal." Putray provided an answer to his question. "This caused the Fourth Peninsular War, which happened in Year 468 of the Calendar of Eradication, turning things into a true world war. The flames of war were no longer restricted to one faction of power traversing the sea to invade another faction of power, instead it reached every corner of the world." Thales remembered the middle-aged king who held a staff and had a smile on his face. He was one of the three Kings of Constellation in Mindis Hall. The portrait of his head was engraved on the country's silver coins and burnt onto Thales' chest. Then, he remembered the Corleone Sisters and the so-called 'Starlit Night Alliance'. Thales shook his head and chased all of these thoughts out of his head. "You do not agree to Mindis' policy for diplomacy?" the prince asked curiously. "That is not the case." Putray shook his head. "Forming an alliance with Mane et Nox was something that happened naturally due to the progression of events. The Far Easterners have an ancient proverb that goes like this, 'Form a good relationship with your allies in the distance, and attack your close enemies.' "The Fourth Peninsular War was on an incredibly large scale and the results were devastating," Putray was immersed in his thoughts as he slowly spoke, "but to me, the new political situation also strengthened the ties and relationships between the two peninsulas. The reasons behind the start of a world war were destroyed by the increasingly complicated linkages between the countries, such as the conflict between ourselves and the Western Peninsula. Since the Fourth Peninsular War, we have not gone to war with the peninsulas for two centuries. We have enjoyed more than two hundred years of peace… Before this, the two peninsulas would wage war against each other due to the conflicts between us accumulating so much that they reached a boiling point almost every single century." Thales frowned. He still believed that with the country's productivity levels and its political system, this so-called Peninsular War was a little strange. Traversing the sea to launch an expedition on another peninsular… How much manpower and supplies were needed? Were the repercussions and sufferings caused as a result of these wars really something that a little Eternal Oil could compensate for? They continued to move forward as the soldiers by their sides continued to glance at them. Soon, a village materialized before their eyes. Thales listed his head. He noticed that there were ropes tied around the trees beyond the village. There were quite a large number of food items bound there such as jerky, bread and other items. There were even prey like deer, foxes and rabbits. "My soldiers have already confirmed the safety of this village." At that moment, the vassal under Archduke Lampard, Viscount Kentivida, went up to them from the back of the group. He moved past the crowd and proceeded into the village before he dismounted and handed the reins to a soldier. "We will dismiss a portion of the enlisted soldiers from the villages around the area. You can search for an inn here to rest for a while and enjoy some lunch." With Ralf's help, Thales got off his steed and let out a long sigh for being able to temporarily get off his horse. Then, he lifted his head in excitement to observe the village, which was located beside Rayman Pass. The place was supposed to be a small, peaceful village that did not even have a wall. But at that moment, it was surrounded by strong, burly men dressed entirely in armor. Even though most of the army escorts were stationed outside the village to rest, Thales could tell with just one glance that there were Northland soldiers who were moving about. They were engaged in activity under the single-storey houses built from bricks, earth and stone. Yet curiously, these soldiers did not seem to disturb the peace and quiet within the village. They integrated themselves with the men and women in the village, who were dressed in sackcloth. The village square was already filled with soldiers as well as villagers sitting around and drinking from their mugs. Their laughter shook the skies. "This time, I'm going to win against you in drinking, Craydon!" There were two people sitting at a huge table, which seemed to be usually used for displaying goods for sale. The table was filled with mugs and a villager was pounding his fist against it. He was looking at the soldier sitting across him, refusing to back down. "I can drink ten pints within a minute!" "We'll know right away if you're just bluffing." The soldier threw down his axe, took off his chest plate and pounded the table with his fist in a similar manner, refusing to show weakness. "The person who wins is the only one who can get Arosa's flower crown!" There was a group of onlookers surrounding them, enthusiastically causing a clamor. One of them was a young lady holding a flower basket. She was laughing loudly. "What a load of bull!" She put down the flower basket and boldly lifted her skirt to sit down, joining in the drinking contest at the table. "The person who can outdrink me is the one who will get my flower crown!" Thales could not help but chuckle softly. During that instant, he had even slightly forgotten that these Eckstedt soldiers had clashed with his guards on the battlefield, trying to kill each other. This was different compared to the well-behaved civilians Thales came into contact with in Constellation's Eternal Star City; a different society from the city, which had distinct social class boundaries. The rhythm in this Eckstedt village was wild and lively, the atmosphere was relaxed and full of enthusiasm. The villagers were basically tall and well-built Northlanders. They had bold appearances and their laughter was hearty. "Hey, Tolja, how long are we staying here?" A soldier with a full-grown beard shouted loudly in their direction. He seemed like a mid-rank officer and he was carrying a warhammer as well as a wooden mug in his other hand. "Come on, please tell me we're staying overnight!" "We're leaving by noon," Tolja replied loudly with displeasure, "Before that, tighten your pants around your waist, Metalhead Crocer!" Thales did not bother about the soldiers and villagers who were pointing at him as they whispered among themselves. He did not bother about their disdainful and malicious gazes either. He followed Kentvida and Tolja, moving forward. Behind him were the members of the diplomat group. "Are you certain that the safest way is for the soldiers to enter the village and drink with the villagers?" A Northland soldier was swinging his arm over the villagers' shoulders and laughing boisterously as the duo walked past them. The prince's young attendant, Wya Caso saw this and cautiously pressed down on the sword by his waist. With a tone that showed he did not truly approve of this, he said, "If I was an assassin, I could blend in with the villagers." "Don't be too nervous. This is not Constellation, it's Eckstedt!" Viscount Kentvida laughed loudly. "Most of the people in the village are veterans who have been released from military service. They can be trusted… In truth, due to their honor and dignity, the prince, who is a guest here, will be even safer in their midst." Wya shrugged, curling his lips to express his doubts. "Do not worry." Thales nodded at his attendant. "The soldiers have already dispersed and blended into the village. Even assassins will have to think about the possibilities and consequences of an assassination." "Hero Tavern. It was opened twenty years ago by a retired veteran," Tolja said faintly by the side, "The rye wine in the tavern is well-known far and wide." Thales, who was curiously taking in the sights around him, followed Kentvida and Tolja into a larger stone building. A large sign of a wine mug was hung on the door. The Fire Knight pushed open the two doors and walked into the noisy Hero Tavern. Thales followed him and stepped into the warm stone building. Once the chill in his body was chased away, he noticed that the guests filling the tavern suddenly fell silent. Plenty of people cast their gazes on Thales. He recognized that some of the guests were Northland Soldiers, and it was clear that they had just arrived. However, several seconds later, the lively atmosphere returned to the tavern, as if the people who came in were just a couple of normal people. With a condescending expression, he said, "It doesn't matter if it's the king, a priest, a foreigner, or even a god. No one can chase away my customers here!" Wya frowned. The old man then narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to look at Thales. A strange expression appeared on his face. "You sure have a lot of people… I only serve customers who can pay to buy wine." Thales smiled at him. The prince could not help but notice that the old man in front of his eyes may be quite ripe in his age, probably at least sixty years old. However, his biceps and triceps were still well-toned, his waist was thick and he stood up straight. His gaze was direct and fierce. "Kaslan! Don't worry about the numbers or the problem about money!" Kentvida laughed. He sat down without reservation in front of the bar counter before he dug out a money pouch. "We have plenty of golden circular pieces that have Raikaru's head portrait on them… Let me tell you something else, the Archduke of Black Sand asked me to send you his regards and greet Madam Talia!" A thought appeared in Thales' head. 'He's just a retired veteran and a normal owner of a tavern, yet the Archduke of Black Sand has taken personal interest in him?' But Kentvida did not obtain the response he should have gotten. "Each mug of rye wine is six Eckstedt bronze coins and the price of each mug for nobles is sixty." The owner of the tavern, the old Kaslan, cast a glance at the money pouch with an aloof expression. He then pushed it back before he let out a cold harrumph. "Also, I don't accept gold coins. "Especially gold coins from Lampard, who killed his own family." Kentvida's expression instantly froze. Thales was also shocked. 'Killed his own family?' Kentvida spread his hands towards Tolja, who was behind him, and put on a resigned expression. "That was a battle of inheritance. It is an ancient ceremony." Tolja walked forward and brought out a pouch full of Eckstedt bronze and silver coins. Without batting an eyelid, he continued to speak flatly, "The archduke defeated his older brother, that is all… His death was just an accident." "He can argue however he wants. He killed his family and that's that!" The old Kaslan received the money pouch in disdain. "As for that so called ancient ceremonial battle… That's something in the past, and what the citizens of the Empire used to make us kill each other." 'The Archduke of Black Sand killed his older brother, won his right of inheritance, and adhered to a ceremonial battle that seemingly came from the Ancient Empire?' Thales quietly stored that information in his heart. He then cast a glance at the boorish old man. 'Additionally… this tavern owner does not have an ordinary background. He does not seem to be on the same side as Lampard. 'Perhaps I can obtain some information from him?' "So there's one, two, three… six, seven, eight…" Kaslan weighed the money pouch in his hand and counted the number of people in front of him. "Wait!" An idea suddenly struck Thales and he spoke in the nick of time, "Let them pay with the Archduke of Black Sand's money, but we will pay with our own money… We have, er… about a dozen people…" Kaslan's eyes moved and noticed Thales, who was not even at the height of the bar counter. Kentvida frowned and looked at Thales, as if he had something in his mind. Thales nodded in Putray's direction. The latter raised his brows, then walked forward and brought out a few silver coins as well as bronze coins. "Ah, I recognize this head portrait… The Oath Keeper Midier, yes?" Kaslan took the silver coins and threw them away casually. Instead, he picked the bronze coin with Midier's head portrait engraved on it. He scrutinized the picture on it before he lifted his head and laughed, revealing a mouth full of yellowing teeth. "The lot of you are from the Empire?" Thales smiled and shook his head. "No, we come from Constellation." By his side, Wya's expression changed, and Putray looked like he was thinking of something. "I get it, brat. You're the Prince of Constellation… the one who has come to apologize." Kaslan stared at him straight. "You have a long and arduous journey ahead of you." Thales shrugged. "Alright." Kaslan snorted. "Constellation's silver coins are even more valuable than our silver coins. There's no reason for me to not receive your money." "Hey!" Kentvida protested. "Is Archduke Lampard's gold coin not money now?" "Hmph, Brian!" Hero Tavern's owner ignored the viscount. He shouted at the top of his lungs and tapped the wooden window behind him. "Twenty mugs of rye wine… The normal one will do!" A tall man with black hair and in his thirties walked out from behind the counter. There was a scar from a burn on the left side of his face. He let out a cold harrumph. In a bad mood, the tavern assistant lifted a thin wooden stick and turned towards the wooden cabinet behind him. Then, with a shake of his arm, he hooked the ears of a dozen something wooden mugs with great proficiency and pulled them over, having them lined on the wooden stick like a kebab. He shook his arm again, and the dozen something mugs fell on the bar counter. Brian nimbly extracted the wooden stick and lifted a huge, wooden wine barrel. As he poured the wine into the mugs, he looked at the group with a hostile expression. He even glared at Thales in the process. "This isn't something that can be done with regular arm strength." Wya looked at the assistant's movements and his expression changed. He spoke in a low tone, "I can bet that he's an expert with the sword." Tolja said flatly, "Of course. Hero Tavern is the gathering and also parting place for retired Northland soldiers." Thales discovered dejectedly that he could not even haul himself up the chair by the bar counter. He was just not tall enough. If he had spoken up while the crowd was watching him, it would have been incredibly awkward. At this moment, a guard who knew sign language was incredibly important. Ralf picked Thales up and placed him on the bar counter's high stool (The attendant, Wya, who discovered that he did not managed to perform his duty once more, frowned again). Kentvida and Putray sat down by his side. As for the citizens of Constellation and Eckstedt, they were split into two very distinct groups. They sat down on two round tables, and their soldiers glared at each other. "Oh, heavens." Willow looked at the noisy Northland customers around him. Brimming with spirit, he said, "I have never drunk in a place so far away before." "Keep those two pikes of yours close to your side." The veteran, Genard spoke with a frown, "They may pounce on us at any moment." Thales' lips curled up as he brought out his skills of engaging in small talk with others. It had been lying dormant in his memories. "Mister Kaslan, when did you open Hero Tavern? Why did you name it as such?" "It's been twenty years since I opened it." Kaslan watched as Brian filled the mugs with a lackadaisical expression and brought three of them to the bar counter. He had Brian bring the other mugs to the others on a tray. "I got injured and I retired. Then, I returned to my hometown to open a tavern… As to why I called it Hero Tavern, heh, my wife was the one who gave it such a boring name." Thales touched the wooden mug, which was half the size of his head, then rationally decided not to touch it. "Oh, by the way, when I entered the village, I noticed that there were all sorts of food tied on the trees near the entrance. What is that for?" "The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter is about to arrive." Kaslan yawned and brought them a few plates of black bread. The bread did not stir up any form of appetite in the others when they saw it. "That is a present to the mountains." Accustomed to the black bread, Tolja and Kentvida picked it up and ate it as they drank the rye wine. The latter was even looking at the distressed Wya, who did not know how to eat the bread. He was looking at Wya as if he was watching a good show. "It's best that you eat some of it," Kentvida said flatly, "We have to press on in the afternoon… and we'll only set up camp at night." 'Constellatiates who have lived comfortable lives…' Kentvida laughed at them mockingly in his heart. 'This is Hero Tavern's signature dish and a Northland village staple made from common coarse grain.' Wya stared at the black bread in front of him with a frown. Putray sighed and picked up the bread. 'Looks like this is our food for today's lunch. 'Perhaps Kentvida is doing this intentionally. He's either testing the prince's attitude, or perhaps, taking revenge on the prince for giving him the cold shoulder. It's one of the two.' "Present for the mountains?" Thales chewed on the tough bread and asked curiously in a muffled tone, "The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter?" 'Mm… the taste is not bad. I can actually bite through just by chewing on it… It's not like the black bread from the Brotherhood. When it gets really bad, we even have to use fire to roast it.' Kaslan's expression changed. He looked at Thales, and his gaze was increasingly filled with interest. "The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter is a natural phenomenon unique to the Northland. At this time, the Northland will welcome the coldest time of the year. Daytime will be drastically cut short. The people who venture out must wear incredibly thick, fur-lined jackets and have enough materials to keep the fire going, and they cannot leave too far into the distance. The time where they can work outdoors will be limited to three hours." Putray observed with a strange expression on his face as Thales ate with gusto. Wya ate the bread with a long face, and only felt like hurling. However, when he saw that Ralf was enjoying the bread, he gained his appetite once more as his competitive spirit was instantly lit up. "The Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter will last for several weeks if it's short; one month if it's long," Putray continued saying, "As for the presents to the mountains…" "Those are gifts for the gods." The tavern's owner, the old Kaslan grinned and continued, "We will hang the first game we obtain during the day or the first food we touch on the tree. It will belong entirely to the gods… Only the travellers who are forced to venture out during the Day Before the Bitter Cold Winter can partake of it, because it is by the gods' grace." "Gods…" Thales swallowed the bread. "Which God is it? Sunset? Bright Moon? Dark Night?" In his memories, the more popular gods who had their own temples in Eternal Star City were these three. "The Master of Mountains." Constellation, Eternal Star City's Western District, Entrance to Western City Police Station. "I'm sorry, Captain Kohen Karabeyan has applied for a month's leave." Western City Police Station's secretary, Miss Jorah, looked coldly at the young brunette with short hair who was standing in front of her. "I mean, at least a month." 'She's taller than me. 'Her legs are longer than mine. 'Her a** is bigger than mine.' Miss Jorah thought furiously. 'Thankfully, my chest is bigger than hers.' Then, Miss Jorah straightened her figure, which she was proud of. She twirled her long, red hair, and said proudly, "If you're looking for him, you can leave a message… I see him often, I can deliver your message to him." 'And, she isn't as feminine as I am. 'She looks like a boy.' 'Yes, and she speaks in such a crude manner… She doesn't seem like a woman at all.' As Miss Jorah thought about this, her mood instantly became better. 'Yup, that is the voice of a drake…' She would absolutely not admit that it sounded heroic. The brunette remained silent for a moment as she looked at Miss Jorah. Miss Jorah felt a little embarrassed. Shortly after, the brunette lowered her head and looked at the Sword of the Twin Towers emblem on her right hand. Her lips then curled up into a smile. Under the secretary's impatient gaze, the brunette licked her lips. "The woman who laid in his bosom that day in Red Street Market misses him." Miss Jorah's expression changed, as if she had been struck by lightning. Miss Jorah glared at the woman in disbelief. She frowned while her expression continued to changed. 'How could it be? 'This woman? "Alright, I was just joking." Under the secretary's murderous gaze, the descendant of the Assassin's Flower laughed while she clutched her abdomen and waved her hand. "I only met… that blond co… police officer once." 'And saved his life.' "You like him, have a crush on him, you love him so much that you could die, you want to have his children, yada yada." As the secretary once again gave her a strange look, Jala shook her head. "I don't care about that… I don't want to become your competitor or your rival in love either. I'm just here to ask him for help." "Don't worry… He isn't my type." The former bartender put on a bright smile. In a rare show, the secretary blushed. She looked at Jala's sincere gaze and was speechless. She suddenly blanked out and did not know what to do at that moment. "Alright." Miss Jorah turned her head away in embarrassment. The red flush on her cheeks had yet to disappear. She spoke resignedly, "The truth is, Captain Kohen… has returned to the Tower of Eradication. We can use messenger pigeons to communicate with him. You can write him a letter, and then—" "Alright, I'll write him a letter." The young, former bartender nodded, as though she was thinking of something. "Thank you, Miss Jorah." "Honestly, if it isn't anything too troublesome," the secretary said in slight embarrassment, "perhaps, I can help you. After all, you're Kohen's friend as well…" 'Then, you won't have to look for Captain Kohen.' Miss Jorah clenched her fist in her heart. 'Did you think that it would end just because you said you didn't like him? 'Don't underestimate a woman's obsession, whether it's her own or that of her rival in love!' Jala looked at Jorah in surprise, then she cracked a smile. Jala suddenly stopped speaking. It looked as if she had thought of something. Miss Jorah had on an expectant expression. "Perhaps, you can actually help me," she said slowly, "Jorah, you're the secretary of the police station. You can see all the files, bounties and information in there. Could you help me keep an eye out on some information?" Miss Jorah smiled and nodded. "Of course, if it isn't something top secret… What do you want to know?" Miss Jorah took out a pen and paper. Miss Jorah lifted her head in curiosity. "One of them is a ten-year-old boy called Sinti. He's slightly larger than the average child. "Another one is a small girl with a round scar left from a burn on her face. She's Coria, about four or five years old. "And one more is a seven or eight-year-old named Ryan. He doesn't have a right arm." "Is that all?" Miss Jorah nodded. "I'll go back and see whether there are any notices or reports regarding cracks on human traffickers…" "Wait," Jala lifted her head and said with a serious expression, "I'm also looking for another boy. "He went missing near Red Street Market and could have possibly fallen into the hands of Blood Bottle Gang. "He has black hair, grey eyes, and is about seven to eight years old." Jala's eyes dimmed. "He is a-a boy that doesn't seem like a normal boy." Miss Jorah lifted her head in surprise. "He's a little too smart and mature," Jala lowered her eyes and continued explaining. "My brother says that he has seen children like that before; a boy and a girl. "Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for you."

All that’s required was to spend some acting tough points and I will be alright. But you decided to wrap me up like a damned mummy.

In that instant, a flash of light flashed across his mind as he acquired the cruel manual. At the same time, the shrieks and wails which sounded like a pig dying could be heard in the forest.

What's going on?\"\nIt took Physician Bai Chan a moment before he recovered.

In fact, he even bought him medicinal herbs that were worth thirty thousand gold taels... All of these, just to help treat someone?\nWhy does this feel so suspicious?\nZhang Xuan was oblivious to Physician Bai Chan’s earnest pleas. In the past three days, he had been staying in the Great Herb King Manor. Other than reading through the books in the Library of Heaven's Path, he spent most of his time tutoring Mo Yu.\nThis was what he had promised her. Now that he had managed to convince the Great Herb King to help him, it was time for him to fulfill his end of the promise.\nAfter a few days of tutelage under Zhang Xuan, Mo Yu was completely impressed with the capability of the man who was even younger than her.\nHer apothecary teacher was a famous figure in Tianwu Kingdom, but in terms of imparting knowledge, his ability to identify crucial points and mistakes was nowhere near Zhang Xuan’s.\nIn just three days, her pill forging skills had made a huge leap.

It would be best for us... to leave him be!\"\nSuppressing the urge to peek inside, the Great Herb King shook his head.\nOther physicians would observe and ask the patient numerous questions in order to confirm their diagnosis... Yet, this fellow does so by knocking the patient out!\n'Being gluttonous just results in indigestion', this was a principle that everyone knew. Furthermore, cultivators could only practice a single cultivation technique, so they couldn't understand why Zhang Xuan required so many books.\nFor the past three days, this question had been plaguing their minds. They had come up with dozens of reasons, but none of them seemed viable.\nSince they've brought the books here, the other party should at least browse through them and learn!\nThey knew that experts usually do things peculiarly, but... this was way too peculiar!\n\"Old master, what do we do now?\"\nThey stood outside the room for a long while, but other than the sound of hurried footsteps, their ears failed to catch anything else. Finally, Butler Lu couldn't stand it anymore and asked, \"Should we... run with him as well?\"\n\"There's no need, we'll just wait outside. He should come out once he's done!\"\nShaking his head, the Great Herb King was just about to continue speaking when, 'jiya!', doors opened and Physician Bai walked out.\n\"That... Physician Bai, is something wrong with the manuals?\"\nZhang Xuan had specially demanded these cultivation technique manuals, so the Great Herb King thought that he would at least immerse himself in them for a day or two. Why would he be out... right after running for a while in the room?\"\nHe shouldn't be able to finish more than a handful of books in such a short period of time, right?\n\"I'm done looking through them!\"\nZhang Xuan nodded.\n\"If there's anything wrong with the books, I can think of another way... Ah? What did you say? You fi-fi-finished reading all of them?\"\nThe bodies of the Great Herb King and Butler Lu staggered, and they nearly vomited blood.\nIt took us so much effort to gather more than a thousand books. You've barely entered for a few minutes... and you say that you're done reading through them?\nAll we've heard was the sound of you running in the room, when did you read those books?\n\"Un, those books were extremely helpful to me. Thank you!\"\nIgnoring the shock on their faces, Zhang Xuan nodded.\nThere were just a thousand plus books inside, and it only took a few moments for Zhang Xuan to finish touching all of them. In fact, the reason why he took a few minutes was that he was busy breaking through Half-Zongshi, which took up some time. Otherwise, he would have probably finished 'reading' through them even before the other party walked out the door.\nOf the books which the Great Herb King gathered, there were more on Half-Zongshi, and Zhang Xuan was able to form a complete Heaven's Path Divine Art, so he practiced his cultivation on the spot.\nHalf-Zongshi was merely a transition phase to Zongshi realm. With the correct cultivation technique, Zhang Xuan was able to improve swiftly. In just a few minutes, he managed to reach Half-Zongshi and reinforced his cultivation.\nOn the other hand, the Great Herb King had only gathered seven hundred to eight hundred of Zongshi realm cultivation technique manuals, so Zhang Xuan was still lacking a little more to forming the complete cultivation technique. Thus, he stopped at Half-Zongshi.\nUpon reaching Half-Zongshi, Zhang Xuan's strength increased immensely. He broke through the 1000 ding barrier and reached 1500 ding.\nAt Zongshi realm, a cultivator usually possesses 1000 ding at primary stage, 2000 ding at intermediate stage, 3000 ding at advanced stage, and 4000 ding at pinnacle!\nPossessing 1500 ding, Zhang Xuan's strength had already surpassed that of Zongshi realm primary stage cultivators despite being a Half-Zongshi.\nMore importantly... Other people took several years, some even decades, to reach Half-Zongshi realm, yet he... only took a few minutes!\nIt was fortunate that the Heaven's Path zhenqi was pure, making it impossible for anyone to see through his cultivation. Otherwise, if the Great Herb King were to know that Zhang Xuan's cultivation made a tremendous leap in the few minutes that he was inside the room, he would definitely cry on the spot.\nHe had to spend so many resources in order to achieve a breakthrough, yet this 'Physician Bai' succeeded just by running around the room for a moment...\nEven the world's greatest genius would blush furiously before Zhang Xuan.\n\"Don't worry about it, this is something that I should do!\"\nSuppressing the urge to tug out his hair, the Great Herb King asked, \"Physician Bai, so... what do we do now? Are you still determined to head to the Poison Hall?\"\n\"Of course I am!\"\nZhang Xuan smiled. \"Not only so, we'll also walk through their doors proudly!\"\n\"Proudly?\"\n\"That's right!\" Zhang Xuan nodded. \"Didn't you say that the headquarter has already been informed of the old Hall Master's death?\"\n\"Un! Just that, it's hard to tell whether the headquarter would send an envoy. If they do send one, the chaos should be quenched swiftly, and that would spare us from danger!\" The Great Herb King said. \"Otherwise... It would be troublesome.\"\n\"I have a plan in mind! Rather than waiting here for an envoy who might not even come, why not we... make an envoy ourselves!\"\n\"Make an envoy?\" The Great Herb King was confused.\n\"It's simple. You'll bring me to the Poison Hall claiming that I'm the envoy! In any case, none of them has seen the envoy before, so I doubt that they'll be able to tell that I'm a fake.\"\nIn the past three days, Zhang Xuan gave this matter much thought. Rather than waiting here, he might as well take the initiative.\nSince an internal conflict had broken out in the Poison Hall and it was dangerous to enter, why not he make an envoy himself to quench the conflict... After all, no matter how much they want the seat of the Hall Master, they wouldn't dare to lay their hands on an envoy of the headquarter.\nOn top of that, they didn't know who the headquarter would send!\nIn any case, his main motive was to get his hands on the books. He could leave right after duplicating them in the library, and even if someone were to notice that he was a fake after that, he would have been long gone.\nHe has already impersonated as a master teacher before, an envoy of the Poison Hall shouldn't be much of a problem.\n\"You want to pass off... as the envoy?\"\nThe Great Herb King's face paled, and his body trembled in fear.\nBrother, I'm already old and my heart is weak... Are you sure you aren't pulling my leg?\nImpersonating the envoy wasn't a joke. If someone were to notice a flaw in their disguise, they would be beaten to death on the spot!\n\"Un! Make some preparations, we'll set out now. You've already promised me that you'll bring me to the Poison Hall. Surely you aren't thinking of going back on your words, are you?\"\nZhang Xuan glanced at the Great Herb King with a frown. \"If you're afraid, you only have to bring me to the Poison Hall. You don't have to follow me in!\"\nIf your impersonation of the envoy were to be exposed, even dying a thousand times wouldn't be sufficient to make up for our sins!\nIf I knew that this was the intention you have in mind, I would never have agreed to your condition!\nIs it too late... to take back my words?\nThe face of the Great Herb King twitched. This time, he really burst into tears." } ]
第二百七十四章 “成风医师，这是……怎么回事？” 好不容易缓过神来，看到一个老熟人，白蟾医师急忙问道。 “白医师，刚才是我有眼不识泰山，不知道几年不见，你的医术已经增长到这种水平，多有冒犯，还望见谅！” 被点名成风医师脸色一红，连忙抱拳。 白蟾医师头上冒出问号。 这群家伙，都吃错药了还是怎么了？ 我就昏了一下，怎么他们的态度都这样了？ 疑惑了一会，这位一脸懵逼的白医师，也算明白过来，抢夺他徽章的家伙，好像冒充他治好了大药王的病！ 这打晕自己，不抢钱，不抢东西，还给自己买了几万金币的药材……只为了帮别人治病？ 怎么感觉这么不靠谱呢？ 外面白蟾医师诚恳的心愿，张悬并不清楚，这三天，一直待在大药王府，除了翻看图书馆内的书籍，快速学习，就是指点莫雨。 这是之前答应对方的，现在找到大药王，也该实现诺言了。 经过几天学习，莫雨对眼前这位比她年龄还小的青年，佩服的五体投地。 她的丹药老师，是天武王国都有名的存在，可在指点炼丹上，远不如对方一针见血，直中要害。 经过三天的学习、改正，她的炼丹术，突飞猛进，竟然已经能独自能够炼出二品丹药。 炼制二品丹药，就可以考核二星炼丹师了，只跟学了三天，就达到这种水平，就连她亲身经历，都有种在梦中的错觉。 要知道正常情况下，从一星到二星，没有五、六年的磨砺，是不可能做到的。 “白医师，你要的书籍我们已经全部找来！” 第四天早上，依旧一个教、一个学，就见大药王走了进来。 “过去看看！” 张悬站起身来。 等了三天，就等这个，果然没让自己失望。 “这边请！” 大药王前面带路，很快来到了一个宽阔的房间，里面摆满了各种各样的书籍，抬眼看去，最外面一排，果然是半步宗师和宗师境的秘籍。 “我看一会，你们先出去吧！” 知道他看书的方法，太过惊世骇俗，张悬摆了摆手。 “是！” 大药王和路管家走了出去，刚走出门外就听到一阵急促的声音响起，好像有人在房间里跑步。 专门找这些书过来，不是要看吗？ 跑步？ 对望了一眼，二人全都一脸疑惑。 “白医师是高人，行事出人意料也很正常，咱们还是……先别管了！” 强忍住想要进去看看的冲动，大药王摇了摇头。 别的医师，看病需要询问、观察……这家伙倒好，把人砸昏，才能确诊！ 贪多不消化，这是谁都知道的原理，修炼者通常只修炼一种功法即可，找这么多，干什么？ 三天来，这个问题，一直萦绕心头，二人想出了几十个理由，都觉得不靠谱。 找秘籍过来，要么看，要么学习，最差也要翻看一下吧！ 早知道高人行事不同凡响，可……这也他妈太不凡响了！ “老爷，我们现在干什么？” 站了半天，听到除了跑步，实在听不出其他声音，路管家忍不住道：“要不要也陪着……跑一会？” “不用了，在外面等着吧，他跑完……肯定会出来！” 摇摇头大药王正想继续说话，就听到书房“吱呀！” 一声打开，白医师走了出来。 “这……白医师，难道这些书籍不对？” 看清对方，大药王一愣，有些摸不清头脑。 专门要这些秘籍，本以为会在里面看上一天、两天，怎么跑了一会步……就出来了？ 这么短的时间，连有多少书都没看清吧？ “已经看完了！” 张悬点头。 “如果不对，我再想办法……啊？ 你说什么，看、看、看完了？” 身体一晃，大药王和路管家，差点没吐血晕倒。 我们费劲千辛万苦，找了一千多本书，进去几分钟……看完了？ 光听到跑步了，啥时候看的？ “嗯，你的书籍对我帮助很大，多谢！” 不理会对方的震惊，张悬点点头。 一共一千来本书，随便跑跑就摸完了，说实话，几分钟才出来，还是他为了突破半步宗师，这才耽误了一些时间，不然，对方可能还没走出大门，恐怕就已“看”完。 大药王搜集的这些书籍，半步宗师比较齐全，形成了完整的天道功法，当场就修炼了。 半步宗师只是晋级宗师的一个过渡，有正确功法，进步极快，几分钟的时间，就顺利突破，并且巩固了修为。 至于宗师境的功法，只搜集了七、八百本，距离形成完整功法，还差了一些，也就没继续修炼。 修为达到半步宗师，他的力量再次暴增，已然超过了一千鼎，达到1500鼎之多。 宗师境初期1000鼎，中期2000鼎，后期3000鼎，巅峰4000鼎！ 半步宗师就达到1500鼎，就算在宗师初期中，都算得上中流。 最关键的是……别人突破半步宗师，没有三、五年，甚至十几年都做不到，他……几分钟！ 幸好，天道真气精纯无比，没人能够看出修为，否则，给大药王知道，就刚进去这点时间，修为又增长了一级，肯定会当场哭出声来。 要知道，他当初为了突破半步宗师，可是吃了不知多少药材，用金钱衡量的话，都可以购买一座城池了。 世界上最厉害的天才，都会当场打击的体无完肤。 “没什么，应该做的！” 强忍住想要抓狂的冲动，大药王忍不住问道：“白医师，那……咱们下面干什么？ 还去不去毒殿？” “当然要去了！” 张悬笑了笑：“不光要去，还要光明正大的去！” “光明正大？” “不错！” 张悬点点头：“你之前不是说，老殿主死亡的事，已经通知总部了吗？” 就是不知道总部派不派特使过来，如果派过来，应该能很快平定叛乱，咱们也可以安全过去！” 大药王道：“要是不派……可能会有些麻烦。” “我已经想好了办法了！ 与其在这里等着虚无缥缈，可能不会来的特使，还不如……弄出个特使出来！” 张悬道。 “弄出个特使？” 大药王有些不明白。 “很简单，你带我去毒殿，就说我是特使！ 反正他们人人都没见过，想必也发现不了。” 这三天，他也想好了，与其干等，还不如主动出击。 既然毒殿内讧，现在进去不安全，那就弄一个……对方再争斗也不敢动的身份。 这些人不是不知道特使是谁，会不会来嘛？ 那就直接冒充特使！ 反正自己的目的是看书，看完就可以离开，就算事后被发现，人已经逃了，无关紧要。 之前连名师都冒充过，一个毒殿的特使而已，只要不出意外，应该没太多问题。 “冒充……特使？” 大药王脸色一下变得惨白，身体不停哆嗦。 大哥，我年纪大了，心脏不好……你确定没开玩笑？ 冒充可不是玩的，万一出现问题，可以当场会被打死的！ “嗯！ 准备准备，咱们就出发吧，你可是之前答应，要带我去毒殿，不会想反悔吧！” 张悬看过来，眉头一皱：“如果你要害怕，将我带到毒殿即可，不用跟过去！” 而是冒充特使，一旦被发现，死一万次都不够！ 早知道你打了这个主意，宁愿死了，也不答应啊！ 现在反悔……还来得及不？ 大药王面皮抽搐，这次是真的哭了。
Chapter 274: Half-Zongshi "Physician Cheng Feng, this... What's going on?" It took Physician Bai Chan a moment before he recovered. Upon recognizing a familiar face, he asked hastily. "Physician Bai, I was blind to not notice your greatness, to think that your medical skills have reached such an astounding levels in just a few years. I hope that you can forgive me for the times that I've offended you!" With a reddened face, Physician Cheng Feng clasped his hands respectfully. "..." Countless question marks popped in Physician Bai Chan's head. Why have all of their attitudes changed after I fainted? After a moment of doubt, the confused Physician Bai finally understood the situation. The fellow who stole his emblem seemed to have treated the Great Herb King under his identity. Despite knocking him out, that fellow didn't take his money or his possessions. In fact, he even bought him medicinal herbs that were worth thirty thousand gold taels... All of these, just to help treat someone? Why does this feel so suspicious? Zhang Xuan was oblivious to Physician Bai Chan’s earnest pleas. In the past three days, he had been staying in the Great Herb King Manor. Other than reading through the books in the Library of Heaven's Path, he spent most of his time tutoring Mo Yu. This was what he had promised her. Now that he had managed to convince the Great Herb King to help him, it was time for him to fulfill his end of the promise. After a few days of tutelage under Zhang Xuan, Mo Yu was completely impressed with the capability of the man who was even younger than her. Her apothecary teacher was a famous figure in Tianwu Kingdom, but in terms of imparting knowledge, his ability to identify crucial points and mistakes was nowhere near Zhang Xuan’s. In just three days, her pill forging skills had made a huge leap. At this moment, she was already capable of forging a grade-2 pill independently. And being able to forge a grade-2 pill meant that she could take the 2-star apothecary examination. To be able to reach such a standard with just three days of tutoring, even until now, Mo Yu could not believe that this was indeed reality. Under normal circumstances, without at least five to six years of hard work, it is impossible for one to advance from a 1-star apothecary to a 2-star. "Physician Bai, we've gathered all of the books that you require!" On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Xuan was guiding Mo Yu as usual when the Great Herb King walked in. "Let's go and take a look!" Zhang Xuan stood up. He had been staying in the manor for the past three days for this, and he was glad that the other party didn't let him down. "This way!" The Great Herb King led the way, and soon they arrived at a huge room. Books of all appearance filled the interior, and with a glance at the outermost row, they were verified to be indeed Half-Zongshi and Zongshi realm cultivation technique manuals. "I'll take a look, you can all leave first!" Aware that his reading method was beyond unorthodox, Zhang Xuan waved them away. "Yes!" The moment the Great Herb King and Butler Lu stepped out of the room, they heard hurried footsteps from within, and it seemed to them that someone was running in the room. Didn't he ask us to gather these books here so that he can browse through them? Running? The duo stared at one another in puzzlement. "Physician Bai is an extraordinary expert, so it's not surprising for him to have extraordinary methods of doing things. It would be best for us... to leave him be!" Suppressing the urge to peek inside, the Great Herb King shook his head. Other physicians would observe and ask the patient numerous questions in order to confirm their diagnosis... Yet, this fellow does so by knocking the patient out! 'Being gluttonous just results in indigestion', this was a principle that everyone knew. Furthermore, cultivators could only practice a single cultivation technique, so they couldn't understand why Zhang Xuan required so many books. For the past three days, this question had been plaguing their minds. They had come up with dozens of reasons, but none of them seemed viable. Since they've brought the books here, the other party should at least browse through them and learn! They knew that experts usually do things peculiarly, but... this was way too peculiar! "Old master, what do we do now?" They stood outside the room for a long while, but other than the sound of hurried footsteps, their ears failed to catch anything else. Finally, Butler Lu couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Should we... run with him as well?" "There's no need, we'll just wait outside. He should come out once he's done!" Shaking his head, the Great Herb King was just about to continue speaking when, 'jiya!', doors opened and Physician Bai walked out. "That... Physician Bai, is something wrong with the manuals?" Zhang Xuan had specially demanded these cultivation technique manuals, so the Great Herb King thought that he would at least immerse himself in them for a day or two. Why would he be out... right after running for a while in the room?" He shouldn't be able to finish more than a handful of books in such a short period of time, right? "I'm done looking through them!" Zhang Xuan nodded. "If there's anything wrong with the books, I can think of another way... Ah? What did you say? You fi-fi-finished reading all of them?" The bodies of the Great Herb King and Butler Lu staggered, and they nearly vomited blood. It took us so much effort to gather more than a thousand books. You've barely entered for a few minutes... and you say that you're done reading through them? All we've heard was the sound of you running in the room, when did you read those books? "Un, those books were extremely helpful to me. Thank you!" Ignoring the shock on their faces, Zhang Xuan nodded. There were just a thousand plus books inside, and it only took a few moments for Zhang Xuan to finish touching all of them. In fact, the reason why he took a few minutes was that he was busy breaking through Half-Zongshi, which took up some time. Otherwise, he would have probably finished 'reading' through them even before the other party walked out the door. Of the books which the Great Herb King gathered, there were more on Half-Zongshi, and Zhang Xuan was able to form a complete Heaven's Path Divine Art, so he practiced his cultivation on the spot. Half-Zongshi was merely a transition phase to Zongshi realm. With the correct cultivation technique, Zhang Xuan was able to improve swiftly. In just a few minutes, he managed to reach Half-Zongshi and reinforced his cultivation. On the other hand, the Great Herb King had only gathered seven hundred to eight hundred of Zongshi realm cultivation technique manuals, so Zhang Xuan was still lacking a little more to forming the complete cultivation technique. Thus, he stopped at Half-Zongshi. Upon reaching Half-Zongshi, Zhang Xuan's strength increased immensely. He broke through the 1000 ding barrier and reached 1500 ding. At Zongshi realm, a cultivator usually possesses 1000 ding at primary stage, 2000 ding at intermediate stage, 3000 ding at advanced stage, and 4000 ding at pinnacle! Possessing 1500 ding, Zhang Xuan's strength had already surpassed that of Zongshi realm primary stage cultivators despite being a Half-Zongshi. More importantly... Other people took several years, some even decades, to reach Half-Zongshi realm, yet he... only took a few minutes! It was fortunate that the Heaven's Path zhenqi was pure, making it impossible for anyone to see through his cultivation. Otherwise, if the Great Herb King were to know that Zhang Xuan's cultivation made a tremendous leap in the few minutes that he was inside the room, he would definitely cry on the spot. He had to spend so many resources in order to achieve a breakthrough, yet this 'Physician Bai' succeeded just by running around the room for a moment... Even the world's greatest genius would blush furiously before Zhang Xuan. "Don't worry about it, this is something that I should do!" Suppressing the urge to tug out his hair, the Great Herb King asked, "Physician Bai, so... what do we do now? Are you still determined to head to the Poison Hall?" "Of course I am!" Zhang Xuan smiled. "Not only so, we'll also walk through their doors proudly!" "Proudly?" "That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded. "Didn't you say that the headquarter has already been informed of the old Hall Master's death?" "Un! Just that, it's hard to tell whether the headquarter would send an envoy. If they do send one, the chaos should be quenched swiftly, and that would spare us from danger!" The Great Herb King said. "Otherwise... It would be troublesome." "I have a plan in mind! Rather than waiting here for an envoy who might not even come, why not we... make an envoy ourselves!" "Make an envoy?" The Great Herb King was confused. "It's simple. You'll bring me to the Poison Hall claiming that I'm the envoy! In any case, none of them has seen the envoy before, so I doubt that they'll be able to tell that I'm a fake." In the past three days, Zhang Xuan gave this matter much thought. Rather than waiting here, he might as well take the initiative. Since an internal conflict had broken out in the Poison Hall and it was dangerous to enter, why not he make an envoy himself to quench the conflict... After all, no matter how much they want the seat of the Hall Master, they wouldn't dare to lay their hands on an envoy of the headquarter. On top of that, they didn't know who the headquarter would send! In any case, his main motive was to get his hands on the books. He could leave right after duplicating them in the library, and even if someone were to notice that he was a fake after that, he would have been long gone. He has already impersonated as a master teacher before, an envoy of the Poison Hall shouldn't be much of a problem. "You want to pass off... as the envoy?" The Great Herb King's face paled, and his body trembled in fear. Brother, I'm already old and my heart is weak... Are you sure you aren't pulling my leg? Impersonating the envoy wasn't a joke. If someone were to notice a flaw in their disguise, they would be beaten to death on the spot! "Un! Make some preparations, we'll set out now. You've already promised me that you'll bring me to the Poison Hall. Surely you aren't thinking of going back on your words, are you?" Zhang Xuan glanced at the Great Herb King with a frown. "If you're afraid, you only have to bring me to the Poison Hall. You don't have to follow me in!" If your impersonation of the envoy were to be exposed, even dying a thousand times wouldn't be sufficient to make up for our sins! If I knew that this was the intention you have in mind, I would never have agreed to your condition! Is it too late... to take back my words? The face of the Great Herb King twitched. This time, he really burst into tears.

There would definitely be something like a fight. Yet, Kamitani was unexpectedly direct and casual.\nKamitani had promised to “play with Seiji” again in the future… Seiji definitely didn’t consider it a good thing to catch the attention of a guy like Kamitani, but he figured that things could be even worse, so this was an acceptable result.\nThe next morning.\nSeiji brought the Miyamoto Sisters over to Natsuya’s residence.\nOn the way there, he told the sisters his real name of Seiji Haruta, and let them know that he was a Yin Yang Master. He explained what would happen next.\nAlthough he had successfully tamed the insect demon, this still wasn’t enough, because it was still possible that it could harm Kaho.\nThis insect demon, who was now named “Koumei”, and Kaho had become his Spirit-branded Retainer… more accurately, Koumei was the spirit, and Kaho was the host. Using the Spirit-branded Retainer contract to create a master-subordinate relationship was the best way to lower the risk of any danger!\nAdditionally, Kaho would have to become stronger in order to completely eliminate all danger. That was because her soul was now connected to Koumei’s soul. Just the contract alone wouldn’t be a guarantee for her safety.\nThis was just like if two people were bound together, and one of them was shackled, it still wouldn’t be impossible to guarantee that the shackled person wouldn’t harm the other. Only by the other being sufficiently strong enough for self-protection would there be a guarantee of safety.\nAlthough this was all possible, it was just a possibility.\nEven animals that had tasted pain would understand to avoid the source of it. Koumei the insect demon would obviously be much smarter, and wouldn’t stir up trouble for no reason. The demon was quite knowledgeable, and knew that resisting against the contract would require it to pay a heavy price, or perhaps even would result in death. So, logically speaking, there wasn’t much to worry about anymore as long as the Spirit-branded Retainer contract was signed.\nKaho was still rather tired even after sleeping for an entire night.\nIf possible, Seiji would have liked to allow her to rest some more. Still, it was better to perform the contract as soon as possible.\nHe finished the preparations, and entered Natsuya’s spellcasting room.\nSeiji asked Kaho to stand in the center of the Yin-Yang diagram in the room, close her eyes, relax her body, and calm her mind…\n“Now, please answer me. What is your name?”\n“Kaho Miyamoto.”\n“Are you willing to accept, with the Spirits of Heaven, the Souls of the Earth, the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the Black Turtle of the North, and the Yellow Dragon of the Center as your witnesses, and sign a contract with me?”\n“Then with my soul as the witness, and my seal as the catalyst, I shall summon Koumei upon your body, to become your strength and fight for my cause…” Seiji uttered the incantation, and used his Mana to create the contract.\nHe was instantly able to sense the insect demon’s will. He confirmed that it was no longer trying to resist. However, it was also evidently unhappy about the contract.\nThe master-subordinate relationship was confirmed, and the Spirit-branded Retainer contract was completed!\nKaho instantly felt a great power descend upon her, which helped to energize her.\n“Gaah…” There was a sound of grudging acceptance.\nThis was the demon… no, the Spirit-branded Retainer Koumei’s voice.\nNow, Kaho could borrow the insect demon’s power whenever she willed it!\nKaho felt that this was truly something compared to how she had almost combined completely with it before.\nShe knew that she would no longer be alive as the same Kaho anymore if it hadn’t been for her sister Karen and Seiji.\nSaying thanks would be unnecessary. She could only remember this in her heart, and hope that she could make it up to them somehow in the future.\n“Kaho, how are you feeling?” Seiji inquired.\n“Very good…” Kaho opened her eyes, and smiled movingly. “Thank you, Seigo… No, Seiji.”\n“No need for thanks.” Seiji smiled in response to this alluring smile. “It’s good that you’re alright… Let me know immediately if you feel that anything’s off again in the future.”\nKaho nodded, and then turned to look at Karen.\n“Sister… I’m sorry… and thank you.” “Kaho…”\nTears welled up in Karen’s eyes as she covered her mouth.\nKaho’s eyes also started tearing over as she walked over and hugged her sister.\nKaho wanted to say something, but was unable to say anything. She could only transmit her feelings with a hug.\nKaren hugged Kaho back while tears continued to streak down her cheeks.\nEverything was finally over.\nThis was truly wonderful!\nSeiji was rather moved by this sisterly hug that transmitted such deep emotions. Shika and Natsuya were somewhat moved as well. But at this moment…\n“Ahn~” A sudden moan interrupted this moving atmosphere.\nSeiji instantly decided to leave this location. He practically flew out of the room.\n“Kaho, what’s the matter?” Karen asked out of concern.\n“She’s fine. It’s just… a side effect.” Natsuya sighed. “Side effect!?”\n“Yeah… a side effect from signing a contract with him…”\n————— Seiji finished a cup of tea in the living room before the girls finally arrived.\nKaho’s face was still rather red. Karen’s expression seemed somewhat subtle.\nSeiji made his best effort to show off an expression of “I’m a normal person, not a pervert.” Yet, he still felt insecure about this inside.\nNot only was it about this time, there was also the matter of transferring the demon energy, and the first inspection… It all made him seem like a criminal sexual harasser!\nHe felt thankful that the girls hadn’t called the cops on him.\n“About what happened just now… I’m sorry,” Seiji apologized to Kaho.\n“It’s fine… that was actually a good thing, wasn’t it?” Kaho’s face became even redder.\n“Miyamoto-san, could you tell us a little more about Itsuki Kamitani?”\nNatsuya had already learned about the events of this incident from Seiji, especially about this high-ranked member of the Messengers.\nKaho mulled things over. “I can recall the first time I met him, and I think I met him once again in the dream. However, I can’t remember what happened.”\nNatsuya and Seiji exchanged glances upon hearing this.\n“Just tell us what you can remember.”\nKaho nodded, and then began telling what she remembered.\nNatsuya asked more detailed questions, guiding Kaho to tell everything she remembered.\nBut in the end, not a single bit of information was useful… Still, they’d expected this.\n“You were probably contacted by him because of me,” Seiji told Kaho. “He intentionally used you to make me enter that dream world he created.”\n“According to what you told me of Kamitani’s personality, it might also be possible that he simply happened across it,” Natsuya told Seiji.\n“No matter if he did it intentionally or because he happened across it, Kaho was dragged into this because of me.” Seiji sighed. “I’m so sorry, Kaho.”\n“No… in the end, it’s still my own fault,” Kaho spoke in a low voice. “I was the one who gave you trouble… I’m sorry, Seiji.”\n“Kaho…”\n*Cough!* Natsuya interrupted with yet another cough. “It’s good that the two of you understand each other. The critical element here is still Itsuki Kamitani. Miyamoto-san, try remembering as much as you can about when you met him in the dream. It would be best if you can remember more. If not, don’t force yourself. And if you ever see Kamitani again, you absolutely must be on guard and vigilant against him. Protect yourself.”\n“Also, contact me as soon as you can if you see him,” Seiji added. He then looked at Karen. “Same for you, Miyamoto-san.”\nEveryone fell silent for several seconds.\n“I have another question, Miyamoto-san…” Natsuya spoke seriously as she looked directly at Kaho. “Are you intending on continuing to be an ‘ordinary person’ in the future, or are you intending on becoming Seiji’s Spirit-branded Retainer for real?”" } ]
第七百一十五章 在被破碎的空间波及前，晴司和小诗就退出了梦境。 没想到就这么结束了。 晴司还以为神谷不会简单地让自己离开，起码还要打上一架之类的，结果对方出乎意料地干脆。 以后继续……被这种家伙盯上绝不是好事，但比起可能更糟糕的情况，姑且算是可以接受。 次日上午。 晴司把宫本姐妹接到会长宅。 在路上，他说出了自己的真名，表明自己是阴阳师，说明接下来要做的事。 虽然他成功收服了虫妖，但光这样还不够，因为它仍然有可能危害到香织。 让这只现在名为“空鸣”的妖魔和香织成为式神……准确地说是让空鸣充当御魂，香织作为载体，以式神契约的形式确定从属关系，才能最大限度降低危害的可能性！ 而要彻底杜绝危害可能的话，就只有香织本身强大起来才行。 因为她的灵魂已经跟空鸣联系在一起，仅靠契约限制不可能完全保证安全。 这就好比两个人被绑在一起，即使给其中一人配上枷锁，也无法完全保证他伤害不到另一人，只有另一人自身足够强大，不会被轻易伤到，才能彻底确保安全。 话虽如此，可能性也只是可能性。 吃过苦头的动物尚且懂得忌惮，身为妖魔的空鸣更不会蠢到随便搞事，它清楚地知道违抗契约将会付出沉重的代价乃至被消灭。 所以按理来说，签订式神契约后就不需要太担心了。 即使睡了一晚，香织仍然精神不振。 可以的话，晴司想让她多休息些时间，但式神契约越快签订越好。 做好准备后，进入施法房间。 香恋、小诗、夏夜三人在旁观看。 “请回答我，你的名字是？” “宫本香织。” “你是否愿意接受御使之魂，在东青龙、西白虎、南朱雀、北玄武、中黄龙五方神圣的见证下，签订与我的契约？” “我愿意。” 香织郑重答道。 晴司念诵咒语，运作灵能，定下契约。 期间感受到虫妖的意念，确认它没有抵抗念头，但显然也并不乐意。 从属关系确立，式神契约完成！ 香织顿时感受到强大的力量，瞬间振作了些精神。 “嘎啊……”听到像是认命叹息般的声音。 这是妖魔……不，使魔空鸣的声音。 她现在只要一个念头就能借用它的力量！ 跟先前差点被它融合相比，香织颇有感慨。 如果不是姐姐和清吾的话，自己已经不存在了。 说报答都显得多余。 她唯有默默牢记这份恩情，希望以后能为他们做些什么。 “香织，感觉怎么样？” 晴司问道。 “很好……”香织睁开眼睛，泛起动人的微笑，“谢谢你，清吾……不，晴司。” “不客气。” 晴司看到这美丽的笑容，回以微笑，“没事就好……之后若有什么不对劲的感觉，就立刻说出来。” 香织点了点头，然后看向香恋。 “姐姐……对不起……也谢谢你。” 香恋眸泛泪光，捂住了嘴。 香织的眼眸也变得朦胧，走过去，抱住了对方。 她想要再说些什么，但什么也说不出来，只能以拥抱传达。 香恋也抱住妹妹，忍不住地流泪。 终于结束了。 妹妹回来了。 真是太好了！ 姐妹深情拥抱的这一幕不仅让晴司感到欣慰，也让小诗和夏夜有所动容。 突然响起的娇声打破了感动氛围。 晴司果断迈步离开，脚步飞快。 “香织，怎么了？” 香恋担心道。 “她不要紧的，只是……副作用发作而已。” 夏夜叹道。 ？” 晴司在客厅喝了一杯茶后，才等到女生们过来。 香织的面色还有些红润，香恋的表情则有些微妙。 面对她们的目光，晴司全力摆出“我是正经人”的神情，但实际上还是心虚。 不仅是这次，转移妖能的时候，以及最初检查的时候……简直是妥妥的骚扰惯犯啊！ 没被报警就该心怀感激了。 “刚才……抱歉。” 他向香织表示歉意。 “没关系……那其实是好事吧。” 香织的脸庞变得更红了点。 她已经从晴司那里得知这次事件的经过，知道了这个使者组织干部。 “我能想起第一次见到他的情景，之后在梦境里应该还见到他一次，但发生了什么我想不起来了。” 闻言，夏夜和晴司交换了眼神。 “把能想起来的说一下吧。” 香织点点头，然后开始述说。 夏夜进一步询问，引导香织把记得的经历全部说出来。 结果没有很有用的情报……这是预料之中。 “你应该是因为我才被那家伙找上的。” 晴司对香织说道，“他特意利用你引我进入异梦。” “按你所说的神谷的性格，也有可能这只是他顺手为之。” “无论是顺手还是特意，香织都是因为我才受到牵连。” 晴司叹道，“十分抱歉，香织。” “不……说到底是我自己的错。” 香织低声道，“是我给你添了麻烦……对不起，晴司。” 夏夜又咳了一下。 “你们互相谅解就好。 关键还是神谷树生。” “宫本同学，你之后尽量回想一下在异梦里见到他的情景，要是能想起来就最好，要是不能就别勉强。” 场面安静了几秒。 “还有一个问题，宫本同学……”夏夜认真看着香织，“以后你是打算继续当个‘普通人’，还是真正成为晴司的式神呢？”

Now, Kaho could borrow the insect demon’s power whenever she willed it! Kaho felt that this was truly something compared to how she had almost combined completely with it before. She knew that she would no longer be alive as the same Kaho anymore if it hadn’t been for her sister Karen and Seiji. Saying thanks would be unnecessary.

Kaho’s face was still rather red. Karen’s expression seemed somewhat subtle. Seiji made his best effort to show off an expression of “I’m a normal person, not a pervert.” Yet, he still felt insecure about this inside. Not only was it about this time, there was also the matter of transferring the demon energy, and the first inspection… It all made him seem like a criminal sexual harasser! He felt thankful that the girls hadn’t called the cops on him. “About what happened just now… I’m sorry,” Seiji apologized to Kaho. “It’s fine… that was actually a good thing, wasn’t it?” Kaho’s face became even redder. “Miyamoto-san, could you tell us a little more about Itsuki Kamitani?” Natsuya had already learned about the events of this incident from Seiji, especially about this high-ranked member of the Messengers. Kaho mulled things over. “I can recall the first time I met him, and I think I met him once again in the dream. However, I can’t remember what happened.” Natsuya and Seiji exchanged glances upon hearing this. “Just tell us what you can remember.” Kaho nodded, and then began telling what she remembered.

In front of his tea table was the Hell King’s ship. At the same time, displayed on the monitor was the scene of the transported Divines inside the Space.\nZhao Hai looked at this people not because they were acting well. On the contrary, he discovered that the Divines were really good at destruction.\nIt’s not wrong, they were good at destroying things. Ever since they entered the background, they started to destroy everything inside it. There were some bread trees inside the background. Zhao Hai had these trees on those backgrounds so that these people would survive. He also sent some magic beasts inside.\nHowever, Zhao Hai didn’t expect the Divines to destroy everything upon entering the background. They wiped out the bread fruits and kicked the fruit trees down. They also killed all of the magic beasts they came across. Probably this was because they wanted to vent their anger.\nLaura and the others were also in front of the screen, shocked at what they saw. After some time, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, if they destroy things like that, won’t they starve to death?”\nZhao Hai looked at the monitor and coldly said, “Yes, if I don’t save them, then they would definitely starve. But I don’t have the mood to save them right now. It’s fine to be angry, but being foolishly angry is stupid. I left them a way to live, but they instead chose to destroy it.”\nThe women looked at the screen and smiled faintly. They didn’t know what to say. What were these Divines thinking? Do they want to be slaves? Or are they tired of living? If they don’t want to love, then they might as well kill themselves. They didn’t need to anger Zhao Hai.\nZhao Hai didn’t want to stop the Divines. In any case, there was nothing good in that background. Even if they destroy everything inside, Zhao Hai’s losses wouldn’t be that great.\nZhao Hai changed the image to Holy Light City. Although there were some damage to the city, most of the buildings were still intact. There would be enough room for Fei’er and the others to stay.\nMoreover, since Zhao Hai didn’t take any supplies away, Fei’er and the others were living in relative comfort. There were even some people boiling water in order to take a bath.\nZhao Hai looked at their situation and nodded. Then he turned the image to the Atlanta Plane. Zhao Hai wanted to know what preparations they had done. To be honest, Zhao Hai wanted them to attack the Ark Continent as soon as possible. He wanted to get his hands on those mechas as soon as possible.\nCurrently ,the education of the Goblins had gone smoothly. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but recognize the Goblins’ astonishing learning capabilities. The undead creatures that Zhao Hai sent had already taught them about the words of the Ark Continent. They had also been given books about magic formations to study from.\nOne must know that manipulating magic formations wasn’t easy. Some formations needed special materials to activate. Some needed metal, some worked better with wood. Because of this, magic formation research doesn’t only involve the formations themselves. The materials and the methods to make them were also crucial for success.\nIt can be said that magic formation study was a comprehensive field. Aside from magic formations, one also needed to have studied other subjects such as alchemy and botany.\nHowever, the Goblins were innately skilled on these matters. While they started to study fundamental formations, there were already Goblins who proceeded to study medium-grade formations used by the Ark Continent. It seems like their progress was doing very well.\nZhao Hai was very happy with this development. With the innate talents of the Goblins, they would be able to manufacture magic armors later on. For Zhao Hai, this was great news.\nAfter looking at the Goblins, Zhao Hai shifted his attention to the Fishmen. To be honest, the Fishmen were living very comfortable lives. This was especially true for the Mermaids, they were extremely thankful to Zhao Hai.\nThis was because the Mermaids had a flaw in their bodies. It was because of this flaw that they were unable to produce God-ranks. Now that Zhao Hai had given them God-rank potions, they finally had a God-rank expert. For the Mermaids, there was no greater gift.\nMost importantly, it seems like the God-rank potion was a key to the Mermaids. Their bodies were like treasure chests filled with riches. But since they had no key, they had no way to access it.\nNow that Zhao Hai gave them the key, this treasure can now be attained. Once this treasure was opened, the God-rank Mermaids had discovered that their cultivation speed had skyrocketed.\nOn the same day the two God-rank Mermaids drank the potion, they were immediately able to establish a Domain without the need for combat. This caused Zhao Hai to have some envy towards them.\nHowever, this also made Zhao Hai happy. Now that the Mermaids had this potential, he now had another strong race in his arsenal. This was definitely a good thing.\nThen Zhao Hai looked at another race that he had neglected for a long time, the Sea Dragons. Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to them after he transferred them to the Space. Now Zhao Hai wanted to see how they were doing.\nOnce he changed the display, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be surprised. There were several God-ranks among the Sea Dragons. This was beyond his expectation. Zhao Hai didn’t give them any God-rank potions. This meant that they had reached God-rank on their own. Although they were still Demigods, this was already quite remarkable. They haven’t entered the Space for long, only about a year or so. Having this result in that short time was already great.\nThe Sea Dragons were also very earnest. Those who hadn’t reached God-rank were working hard to break through. Those who have risen to God-rank were also working hard. It seems like the sight of the Divine Race had lit a fire inside them.\nThis was good for Zhao Hai. After looking at the other places for a while, Zhao Hai had discovered that he had nothing to do.\nThey were currently fighting the Divine Race, but they were also waiting for the news coming from Fei’er and the others. They needed to know about the situation before they could proceed to the next step.\nOriginally, Zhao Hai thought that he would need to expend his strength in order to defeat the Divine Race. But now that he has the Hell King’s ship, he was fully confident that he can win against the Divine Race with his own power.\nIn this plane, the Hell King’s ship was definitely a cheat-like existence. Currently, the most powerful weapon in the Space were the Domain Weapons. But now, those Domain Weapons no longer held importance to Zhao Hai.\nCurrently, the only thing Zhao Hai has curious with were the mechas of the Atlanta Plane. Were they better than Domain Weapons?\nBecause of this, Zhao Hai didn’t worry about attacking. He just had his undead go to the hell background to train themselves.\nWhile Zhao Hai was being carefree, Fei’er and the others were actually worried. After seeing the strength of the Hell King’s ship, they knew that maintaining an equal standing with Zhao Hai was impossible. Even if they can defeat the Divine Race, the three races still couldn’t beat Zhao Hai’s ship.\nNaturally, Fei’er and the others knew that the most fearful thing wasn’t the ship, but Zhao Hai himself. They had seen the ship before, and had felt how strong it was. But in the hands of Zhao Hai, the ship actually improved by a lot. This was a huge blow to Fei’er and the others.\nZhao Hai defeating the Divine Race’s Deity was already beyond Fei’er’s imagination. Then They were even more startled by the fact that Zhao Hai was able to upgrade the ship.\nUpon seeing the Hell King’s ship dealing with the Divine Race, Fei’er and the others couldn’t help but feel their hearts surrender. In the past, Fei’er wanted to get in touch with their people in order to express Zhao Hai’s abilities. They wanted Zhao Hai to have a good image in their people’s mind.\nBut now, Fei’er and the others chose to withhold Zhao Hai’s information. This was because they were afraid of the Divine Race knowing about the Hell King’s ship. The ship was their ultimate weapon, the later it gets revealed the better.\nThe reason they thought about this was because the Divine Race still didn’t know about the ship. They were successful in conquering Holy Light City, not allowing anyone to escape. At this point, the Divines had no idea about what happened inside the city.\nShan and Yue held the same sentiment as Fei’er. The Barbarians and Winged Pegasus had some hatred towards Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai had apologized to them many times, there was still a small lump in their hearts.\nBut after they saw the ship, this lump immediately vanished. They didn’t want to offend Zhao Hai, or else they would just be courting death.\nZhao Hai didn’t know about what Fei’er and the others were thinking about. He was now being relaxed and carefree. All of these was because of the Hell King’s ship.\nThe ship was too formidable. Although Fuwa had vanished due to the fusion between the pagoda and the ship, Zhao Hai discovered that he didn’t lose anything. The Hell King’s ship seemed to be internally connected with him. As long as he gave an intention, the ship would do his bidding. This was enough for Zhao Hai.\nThree days after Holy Light City fell, Fei’er’s messengers had come back. Moreover, they had brought good news. It seems like the Taurus Divines were short on military strength. Although they weren’t like Zhao Hai who managed to take Holy Light City, they were still able to hold a stand-off against the Divine Race. The Taurus Divines seem to lack troops to deal with them.\nUpon hearing this information, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but feel relief. It looks like there’s no plot from the Taurus Divines. Instead, they were really short on soldiers. This allowed Zhao Hai to boldly deal with the Divine Race.\nAfter reporting the state of their people to Zhao Hai, Fei’er and the others immediately sent another letter. This letter informed them about the Hell King’s ship. They expressed their request to fully cooperate with Zhao Hai.\nJust when Zhao Hai was preparing to attack the Ark Continent, the arrival of some guests stopped him from going forward. These people weren’t Divines, they were from the foreign races.\nAfter hearing the reports from Fei’er and the others, Zhao Hai prepared to attack the Taurus continent the next day. Before Zhao Hai went to sleep at night, it was already his habit to look at the monitor. But this night, he suddenly spotted a small team appearing on the monitor. This wasn’t a squad of the three races, instead it was a team of the Foreign races.\nThe foreign races of the Ark Continent had already entered the Space. Without Zhao Hai, it would be impossible for them to leave the Space. Moreover, the ones on the monitor had different mounts and were evidently stronger than the ones in the Ark Continent.\nThere were about a thousand people in this team. Beastman Race’s Wolf cavalry numbered 500, Elven Race’s unicorn cavalry numbered 200, and Dwarf Race’s Iron Armor beast cavalry numbered 300.\nAlthough they weren’t many, one could see that they were elite. Their strengths reaching God-rank.\nUpon seeing them, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be curious. One must know that Holy Light City was not on the edge of the Taurus Continent. So how did this cavalry team sneak in? Did the Taurus Divine army let them go? Are they that incapable of blocking troops in their border?\nZhao Hai’s guess was both right and wrong. The Taurus Divines were indeed lacking in troops. Therefore they could only guard important places in the continent. This was because they were afraid of the attacks coming from the foreign races.\nAt the same time, these Foreign races had the ability to sneak into the Taurus Continent. This was because of the lack of manpower from the Taurus Divines. And the other reason was the foreign races’ meticulous preparation. Even during the Taurus Divines’ heyday, they were still able to sneak in, much less now." } ]
第八百五十四章 赵海坐在空间别墅的客厅里，在他面前的茶几上，就摆着冥王号，而屏幕上放着的，正是那些被赵海丢进空间里的神族人。 赵海看着那些神族人，并不是因为那些神族的表现的有多好，而是那些神族人正在好里搞破坏。 没有错，就是破坏，他们破坏一切可以看到的东西，自从他们进入到空间之后，就开始破坏空间里的好些东西，那是一个无人空间，赵海也没有在里面弄太多的东西，那个空间里只有一些面包树还有一些果树，在没有其它的东西了，这些本来是赵海准备让这些神族的渡过难关用的，他们可以吃面包果，可以吃水果，那里还能找到野菜，空间里还有一些小形的魔兽，这些都可以让他们生存下去。 但是让赵海没有想到的是，神族进了空间之后，就开始破坏这些东西，他们把面包果都打掉到了地上，把果树都踢倒了，看到魔兽就杀掉，好像这样才能表达他们的愤怒一样。 劳拉她们也都坐在屏幕前，目瞪口呆的看着这一切，好一会儿劳拉才转过头来看着赵海道：“海哥，他们这样破坏下去的话，他们会不会饿死？” 赵海看着屏幕，冷冷的道：“会，如果我不救他们的话，他们一定会饿死，不过我现在可没有心情在救他们了，一个人，心里有仇恨并不可怕，可是他不应该会被仇恨弄得如此的愚蠢，我给他们留了一条生路，是他们自己把自己的生路给毁了。” 劳的看了屏幕一眼，苦笑了一下，她也不知道要说什么好了，这些神族和以为那些东西是什么？ 是为了奴隶他们准备的吗？ 赵海不想在那那些神族的人了，反正那个空间里也没有什么好东西，就算是他们把那个空间所有的东西都破坏了，对于赵海来说，损失也并不大，没有什么了不起的。 赵海又把图象转移到圣光城那里，圣光城那里虽然受到了一些破坏，但是城市里大部分的建筑还是完好的，足够安排飞儿他们住下了。 而且城里的那些生活物资赵海也没有拿走，所以飞儿他们现在过的到是十分的舒服，有很多的人正在烧水洗澡。 赵海看了他们一眼，也就没有什么好注意的了，他又把屏幕转到亚特兰大陆那里，赵海想要看看，亚特兰大陆那里的人准备的怎么样了，说实话，赵海还真的想他们快一点来进攻方舟大陆，那样的话他就可以早一点弄到机甲了。 现在地精一族那里的教育已经走上了正轨，赵海不得不成认，这些地精的学习能力真的是太惊人了，赵海派去的那些不死生物，已经把方舟大陆上的字都交给他们了，而且还给他们提供了很多关于魔法阵的书让他们去研究。 要知道摆弄魔法阵，并不是那么容易的，一些魔法了是需要用到一些特殊的材料的，有一些魔法阵要用金属来制做更好，有一些却要用木制的更好，还有一些魔法阵也是需要一些十分特别的魔法材料才能制做成功。 可以说魔法阵是一门十分综合的学科，要学的不只是魔法阵，其中甚至还要学到一些炼金和炼药学。 不过那些地精真的很有这方面的天赋，在加上本来他们就有一些魔法阵的基础，现在已经有人开始研究一些方舟大陆那里使用的中型魔法阵了，看来这种情况真的很不错。 赵海也十分高兴看到这一点，地精的天赋越是高，以后他们学会魔甲制做的可能性就越是大，这对于赵海来说，绝对是一个好消息。 接着赵海又看了一下海族人，说实话，海族人现在生活的最是舒服，特别是美人鱼族，她们对赵海是最为感激的。 美人鱼族因为先天的基因有缺陷，所以美人鱼族从出现到现在，就没有出现过一个神族人，现在赵海送给了他们神级药剂，美人鱼族中，终于有神级强者了，这对于美人鱼族的人来说，绝对是一个在好也没有的好消息的。 而让美人鱼族更加高兴的是，这神级的药剂好像是一把钥匙，而她们的身体就像是一个宝库，以前就是因为没有钥匙，所以她们空有宝库也没有办法打开。 而现在赵海把钥匙给她们了，她们身体这座宝库终于打开了，这一打开，她们才发现，原来她们的修练速度竟然可以这么快的。 那两个神级的美人鱼族，几乎在喝下去神级药剂的当天，根本就没有用战斗，就学会了如何的使用领域，这一点让赵海都感到深深的妒忌。 不过赵海也感到十分的高兴，美人鱼族有这样强大的实力，以后他的手里就又多了一个强战种族了，这绝对是好事。 接着赵海又看了另一个他许久没有关注过的种族，海龙族，海龙族赵海把他们放到了空间的海里之后就没有在关注过他们，现在赵海想要看看他们过的怎么样了。 还别说，这一看到是让赵海愣住了，海龙族中竟然出现了几个神级的强者，这真的是让赵海感到十分的意外。 赵海可没有给过他们神级的药剂，也就是说，那几个海龙族的神级强者是他们自己修练成的，虽然现在还只是伪神级的强者，但是这已经很了不起了，他们刚入空间才多长时间，长长后后加起来，也不过一年左右，就有这样的成绩，真的很了不起。 海龙族的人到是也十分的老实，那些没有升到神级的人，也正在努力的提升自己的实力，而那些升到了神级的人，也是一样，整个神族好像是一下变成了修练狂一样。 这对于赵海来说，到真的是好事儿，把这几个地方都看了一个遍之后，赵海突然发现，他没有什么好干的了。 现在他们正在与神族战斗，不过他们准备在圣光城这里等等雷族他们三族的消息，看看他们那里的情况，然后在决定下一步的计划。 原本赵海以为击败神族还要花一翻力气，但是现在有了冥王号，赵海完全有信心，凭着一己之力就可以把金牛神族大陆给攻下来。 冥王号在这个空间里，绝对算得上是做弊器一样的存在，就目前来说，这个空间最顶尖的武器，应该就是领域武器了，但是那些领域武器，在赵海的前面，却是真的是不值一提。 现在真海唯一好奇的就是，亚特兰大陆那里的那些高等级的魔甲会是什么样的，是不是比领域武器抗打一点。 正是因为这个，所以赵海并不着急，他不但不着急进攻，还把所有的不死生物都赶到了地狱空间那里，让他们在那里好好的修练。 赵海不着急，飞儿他们却十分的着急，在看到了冥王号的战斗力之后，飞儿他们就知道，想在与赵海保持那种平等的关系是万万不可能了，就算是他们这一次真的把神族给打败了，但是他们三族也不要能打得赢赵海，冥王号太可怕了。 当然了，飞儿他们也十分的清楚，真正可怕的并不是冥王号，而是赵海，之前冥王号是什么样子，他们可是亲眼看到了，之前冥王号有多大的威力，他们也知道，但是冥王号到了赵海的手上，竟然直接就被他给升级了，这对于飞儿他们的打击是十分巨大的。 看到冥王号对付神族时那种摧枯拉朽一样的气势，飞儿他们真的升不起一点的反抗之心。 正是因为这样，所以飞儿他们现在更想早一点知道自己族人那里的情况了，可以尽快的与族人取得联系，好把赵海的情况跟族里好好的反应一下。 现在他不敢派人把赵海的情况告诉自己的族人，因为他怕神族人会知道冥王号的事情，飞儿十分的清楚，冥王号就是对付神族的一大杀器，越晚暴露越好。 而他之所以认为神族那里还不知道冥王号的事情，就是因为这一次他们对付神族的过程真的是太成功，没有让圣光城这里逃出去一个人，所以现在神族那里对圣光城这里发生了什么，可能都不会知道，更不要说知道冥王号的事情了。 跟飞儿有同样心里的还有蛮定山和展跃，蛮族和翼马族说起来跟赵海还是有仇的，虽然赵海跟他们解释很多次了，但是他们心里还是有一个疙瘩。 不过在看到冥王号之后，这个疙瘩已经消失的无影无踪了，他们可不想跟这样的赵海对抗，那绝对是自己找死。 赵海并不知道飞儿他们在想什么，他现在过的到是十分的悠闲，这一切的改变都是冥王号的原因。 冥王号的攻击力真的是太强悍了，虽然现在冥王号与小塔合在了一起，小塔的器灵福娃也消失了，但是赵海却发现他并没有损失什么，冥王号好像跟他心意相通一样，他想什么冥王号都知道，只要他一个念头，冥王号就会完全按他所想的那样去做，这对于赵海来说，就已经足够了。 在圣光城被攻下来之后的第三天，飞儿他们派出去与自己族里联系的人终于回来，他们也带回来一个好消息，金牛神族现在怕是真的没有什么兵力了，雷族他们三族的人，虽然没能像赵海对付圣光城这样的摧枯拉朽，但是也正百与神族僵持着，神族好像是也没有太多的兵力来对付他们。 一听到这个消息，赵海到是真的放心了，看来这并不是金牛神族的什么阴谋，而是他们真的没有兵力了，那赵海就可以放心大胆的对付金牛神族了。 飞儿他们在像赵海报告了他们族里的情况之后，马上就又给他们的族人送了一封信，这封信里十分祥细的写了关于冥王号的事情，他们现在是真心的希望，自己的族人可以全力的跟赵海合作。 就在赵海准备继续进攻金牛大陆的时候，几个不素之客的到来，却是让赵海不得不停止自己的计划，这几个不素之客，不是神族人，而是几个异族人。 赵海在听到飞儿他们的报告之后，就准备第二天就进攻金牛大陆，晚上要休息的时候，赵海习惯性的扫了一眼屏幕，却突然发现，屏幕上突然出现了一小队人马，这一小队人马不是飞儿他们三族的人马，也不是魔族的人马，而是三队异族。 方舟大陆那里的异族，都已经进入到了空间里，赵海根本就没有往出派，这些异族人自然不可能是从方舟空间里出来的，而且他们虽然骑着坐骑，但是实力却比方舟大陆那里的异族强多了。 这只是一个千人的小队，其中兽人族的狼骑兵五百，精灵族的独角兽骑兵两百，还有三百是矮人族的铁甲兽骑兵。 虽然他们人数并不是很多，但是看得出来，都是精锐，他们的实力，怕是都达到了上神级的水平。 赵海一看到这小队骑兵，却是好奇了起来，要知道圣光城这里，可以不是在金牛大陆的边缘地代，而是在金牛大陆里面，这小队骑兵是怎么溜进来的？ 这一次赵海到是猜对了，不过他只猜对了一半儿，金牛大陆这里是很缺少兵力，不过在大陆外围的一些重要地点，他们还是驻有军队的，因为金牛大陆也怕异族神攻击攻来。 而这一次这些异族神，之所以可以成功的溜进金牛大陆，一是因为金牛大陆这里的边防线的兵力确实出现了问题，二就是因为这是异族神精心准备，精心选择的一次行动，就算是金牛大陆全盛时期，都有可能会让他们溜进来，更不要说现在了。
Chapter 854 – Foreign Races Appear Zhao Hai was currently inside the Space’s villa. In front of his tea table was the Hell King’s ship. At the same time, displayed on the monitor was the scene of the transported Divines inside the Space. Zhao Hai looked at this people not because they were acting well. On the contrary, he discovered that the Divines were really good at destruction. It’s not wrong, they were good at destroying things. Ever since they entered the background, they started to destroy everything inside it. There were some bread trees inside the background. Zhao Hai had these trees on those backgrounds so that these people would survive. He also sent some magic beasts inside. However, Zhao Hai didn’t expect the Divines to destroy everything upon entering the background. They wiped out the bread fruits and kicked the fruit trees down. They also killed all of the magic beasts they came across. Probably this was because they wanted to vent their anger. Laura and the others were also in front of the screen, shocked at what they saw. After some time, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, if they destroy things like that, won’t they starve to death?” Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and coldly said, “Yes, if I don’t save them, then they would definitely starve. But I don’t have the mood to save them right now. It’s fine to be angry, but being foolishly angry is stupid. I left them a way to live, but they instead chose to destroy it.” The women looked at the screen and smiled faintly. They didn’t know what to say. What were these Divines thinking? Do they want to be slaves? Or are they tired of living? If they don’t want to love, then they might as well kill themselves. They didn’t need to anger Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai didn’t want to stop the Divines. In any case, there was nothing good in that background. Even if they destroy everything inside, Zhao Hai’s losses wouldn’t be that great. Zhao Hai changed the image to Holy Light City. Although there were some damage to the city, most of the buildings were still intact. There would be enough room for Fei’er and the others to stay. Moreover, since Zhao Hai didn’t take any supplies away, Fei’er and the others were living in relative comfort. There were even some people boiling water in order to take a bath. Zhao Hai looked at their situation and nodded. Then he turned the image to the Atlanta Plane. Zhao Hai wanted to know what preparations they had done. To be honest, Zhao Hai wanted them to attack the Ark Continent as soon as possible. He wanted to get his hands on those mechas as soon as possible. Currently ,the education of the Goblins had gone smoothly. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but recognize the Goblins’ astonishing learning capabilities. The undead creatures that Zhao Hai sent had already taught them about the words of the Ark Continent. They had also been given books about magic formations to study from. One must know that manipulating magic formations wasn’t easy. Some formations needed special materials to activate. Some needed metal, some worked better with wood. Because of this, magic formation research doesn’t only involve the formations themselves. The materials and the methods to make them were also crucial for success. It can be said that magic formation study was a comprehensive field. Aside from magic formations, one also needed to have studied other subjects such as alchemy and botany. However, the Goblins were innately skilled on these matters. While they started to study fundamental formations, there were already Goblins who proceeded to study medium-grade formations used by the Ark Continent. It seems like their progress was doing very well. Zhao Hai was very happy with this development. With the innate talents of the Goblins, they would be able to manufacture magic armors later on. For Zhao Hai, this was great news. After looking at the Goblins, Zhao Hai shifted his attention to the Fishmen. To be honest, the Fishmen were living very comfortable lives. This was especially true for the Mermaids, they were extremely thankful to Zhao Hai. This was because the Mermaids had a flaw in their bodies. It was because of this flaw that they were unable to produce God-ranks. Now that Zhao Hai had given them God-rank potions, they finally had a God-rank expert. For the Mermaids, there was no greater gift. Most importantly, it seems like the God-rank potion was a key to the Mermaids. Their bodies were like treasure chests filled with riches. But since they had no key, they had no way to access it. Now that Zhao Hai gave them the key, this treasure can now be attained. Once this treasure was opened, the God-rank Mermaids had discovered that their cultivation speed had skyrocketed. On the same day the two God-rank Mermaids drank the potion, they were immediately able to establish a Domain without the need for combat. This caused Zhao Hai to have some envy towards them. However, this also made Zhao Hai happy. Now that the Mermaids had this potential, he now had another strong race in his arsenal. This was definitely a good thing. Then Zhao Hai looked at another race that he had neglected for a long time, the Sea Dragons. Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to them after he transferred them to the Space. Now Zhao Hai wanted to see how they were doing. Once he changed the display, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be surprised. There were several God-ranks among the Sea Dragons. This was beyond his expectation. Zhao Hai didn’t give them any God-rank potions. This meant that they had reached God-rank on their own. Although they were still Demigods, this was already quite remarkable. They haven’t entered the Space for long, only about a year or so. Having this result in that short time was already great. The Sea Dragons were also very earnest. Those who hadn’t reached God-rank were working hard to break through. Those who have risen to God-rank were also working hard. It seems like the sight of the Divine Race had lit a fire inside them. This was good for Zhao Hai. After looking at the other places for a while, Zhao Hai had discovered that he had nothing to do. They were currently fighting the Divine Race, but they were also waiting for the news coming from Fei’er and the others. They needed to know about the situation before they could proceed to the next step. Originally, Zhao Hai thought that he would need to expend his strength in order to defeat the Divine Race. But now that he has the Hell King’s ship, he was fully confident that he can win against the Divine Race with his own power. In this plane, the Hell King’s ship was definitely a cheat-like existence. Currently, the most powerful weapon in the Space were the Domain Weapons. But now, those Domain Weapons no longer held importance to Zhao Hai. Currently, the only thing Zhao Hai has curious with were the mechas of the Atlanta Plane. Were they better than Domain Weapons? Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t worry about attacking. He just had his undead go to the hell background to train themselves. While Zhao Hai was being carefree, Fei’er and the others were actually worried. After seeing the strength of the Hell King’s ship, they knew that maintaining an equal standing with Zhao Hai was impossible. Even if they can defeat the Divine Race, the three races still couldn’t beat Zhao Hai’s ship. Naturally, Fei’er and the others knew that the most fearful thing wasn’t the ship, but Zhao Hai himself. They had seen the ship before, and had felt how strong it was. But in the hands of Zhao Hai, the ship actually improved by a lot. This was a huge blow to Fei’er and the others. Zhao Hai defeating the Divine Race’s Deity was already beyond Fei’er’s imagination. Then They were even more startled by the fact that Zhao Hai was able to upgrade the ship. Upon seeing the Hell King’s ship dealing with the Divine Race, Fei’er and the others couldn’t help but feel their hearts surrender. In the past, Fei’er wanted to get in touch with their people in order to express Zhao Hai’s abilities. They wanted Zhao Hai to have a good image in their people’s mind. But now, Fei’er and the others chose to withhold Zhao Hai’s information. This was because they were afraid of the Divine Race knowing about the Hell King’s ship. The ship was their ultimate weapon, the later it gets revealed the better. The reason they thought about this was because the Divine Race still didn’t know about the ship. They were successful in conquering Holy Light City, not allowing anyone to escape. At this point, the Divines had no idea about what happened inside the city. Shan and Yue held the same sentiment as Fei’er. The Barbarians and Winged Pegasus had some hatred towards Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai had apologized to them many times, there was still a small lump in their hearts. But after they saw the ship, this lump immediately vanished. They didn’t want to offend Zhao Hai, or else they would just be courting death. Zhao Hai didn’t know about what Fei’er and the others were thinking about. He was now being relaxed and carefree. All of these was because of the Hell King’s ship. The ship was too formidable. Although Fuwa had vanished due to the fusion between the pagoda and the ship, Zhao Hai discovered that he didn’t lose anything. The Hell King’s ship seemed to be internally connected with him. As long as he gave an intention, the ship would do his bidding. This was enough for Zhao Hai. Three days after Holy Light City fell, Fei’er’s messengers had come back. Moreover, they had brought good news. It seems like the Taurus Divines were short on military strength. Although they weren’t like Zhao Hai who managed to take Holy Light City, they were still able to hold a stand-off against the Divine Race. The Taurus Divines seem to lack troops to deal with them. Upon hearing this information, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but feel relief. It looks like there’s no plot from the Taurus Divines. Instead, they were really short on soldiers. This allowed Zhao Hai to boldly deal with the Divine Race. After reporting the state of their people to Zhao Hai, Fei’er and the others immediately sent another letter. This letter informed them about the Hell King’s ship. They expressed their request to fully cooperate with Zhao Hai. Just when Zhao Hai was preparing to attack the Ark Continent, the arrival of some guests stopped him from going forward. These people weren’t Divines, they were from the foreign races. After hearing the reports from Fei’er and the others, Zhao Hai prepared to attack the Taurus continent the next day. Before Zhao Hai went to sleep at night, it was already his habit to look at the monitor. But this night, he suddenly spotted a small team appearing on the monitor. This wasn’t a squad of the three races, instead it was a team of the Foreign races. The foreign races of the Ark Continent had already entered the Space. Without Zhao Hai, it would be impossible for them to leave the Space. Moreover, the ones on the monitor had different mounts and were evidently stronger than the ones in the Ark Continent. There were about a thousand people in this team. Beastman Race’s Wolf cavalry numbered 500, Elven Race’s unicorn cavalry numbered 200, and Dwarf Race’s Iron Armor beast cavalry numbered 300. Although they weren’t many, one could see that they were elite. Their strengths reaching God-rank. Upon seeing them, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be curious. One must know that Holy Light City was not on the edge of the Taurus Continent. So how did this cavalry team sneak in? Did the Taurus Divine army let them go? Are they that incapable of blocking troops in their border? Zhao Hai’s guess was both right and wrong. The Taurus Divines were indeed lacking in troops. Therefore they could only guard important places in the continent. This was because they were afraid of the attacks coming from the foreign races. At the same time, these Foreign races had the ability to sneak into the Taurus Continent. This was because of the lack of manpower from the Taurus Divines. And the other reason was the foreign races’ meticulous preparation. Even during the Taurus Divines’ heyday, they were still able to sneak in, much less now.

You are not joking right?” The complexion of Long Yi became somewhat ugly, how come this matter again involve Ice Palace? Moreover weren’t all the people of Ice Palace water magicians? He had always thought so.\n“Do you think I am joking? At that time, when your grandfather went to Origin Ice by himself to look for Ruyu Ice Silkworm, he nearly died there, but later was rescued by this female disciple of Ice Palace. I have seen her using Spinning Ice Wall once before, merely I don’t dare to confirm, that’s all.” Murong Bo said.\nLong Yi touched his nose, feeling this matter was quite dramatic, as the experience of his grandfather was similar to him. He and Yu Feng took Wushuang and go to Origin Ice in search of Ruyu Ice Silkworm’s blood, resulting in them being rescued by the person of Ice Palace. If that female Swords Saint truly was the people of Ice Palace, then now, wasn’t she and Wushuang the fellow disciples?\n“Old man, then why didn’t grandfather get together with her?” Long Yi asked.\n“This…you can go and ask them.” Murong Bo said.\nLong Yi rubbed the beard stubble of his chin, and began to ponder, now the matter was even more complicated. He wanted to rationalize the matter, but the more he thought the more confused he became, finally, he gave up rationalizing. When the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current, there inevitably will be a day when the whole thing comes to the light. Thinking this, the heart of Long Yi relaxed greatly. He thought that after returning, he would ask Skynet Intelligence Group to pay attention to the whereabouts of Wushuang. He had a premonition that Wushuang and he would eventually cross the path. The fate would definitely bring them together.\n“Boy, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, want to go to my place and chat?” Murong Bo asked with a smile.\n“Go, of course, I want to go and chat.” Long Yi hastily agreed. This old man however was Sword God, with regarding the understanding of douqi, who could compare to him. If he gave him some pointers, then he might break through the bottleneck of Great Swords Master realm and reach Swords Saint realm.\nAlong with Murong Bo quickly passing through Soaring Dragon City, the two people stopped at the strictly guarded remote place. Long Yi watched those groups of fully armed patrolling guards with his mouth wide open, he knew this place, this place was the same place from where Qiu Fu had broken him out at that time.\n“Forbidden Heaven Prison, old man, don’t tell me that you live in this place?” Long Yi said in surprise.\n“Correct, this is the place where I have been living for nearly 40 years. This place can be regarded as my home.” Murong Bo indifferently said.\nLong Yi was speechless, pointing Murong Bo and again pointing the place below, he truly didn’t know whether to admire him or look down upon him.\n“This place has things to eat and drink but no-one to disturb, there is no more comfortable place compared to this place.” Murong Bo looked at surprised Long Yi and laughed.\nMurong Bo smirked, then pulled Long Yi to one corner in the periphery where the guards were comparably weaker, then his nimble finger poked several times on the ground. After that, a hole which was 0.5 meter in diameter silently appeared on the ground.\n“Go down, why are you still in a daze?” Seeing Long Yi was in a daze, Murong Bo hasten him.\nLong Yi no longer hesitated and immediately jumped down, he believed that Murong Bo wouldn’t harm him, if he really wanted to harm him, then with his Sword God realm strength, there was no need for him to go through such length.\nAfter feeling he had fallen for several tens of meters, Long Yi saw the light, and unexpectedly a room appeared in front of him, furthermore, this room was complete with furniture, merely the room was a prison cell with an iron grille. They had truly entered Forbidden Heaven Prison. Long Yi pulled open the small window of the iron grille and looked outside, and sure enough, he saw rows of crisscrossed prison cells outside, moreover, patrolling prison guards were passing by from time to time.\nAt that time, Murong Bo also fell down, then the hole above them immediately revert back to the previous state.\n“How is it, boy, my place isn’t bad, right?” Seeing Long Yi was surprised, Murong Bo sat on the sofa and laughed smugly.\n“You are truly resourceful, you can even open the secret passage of Forbidden Heaven Prison.” Long Yi walked over and sitting opposite to Murong Bo, he said in admiration.\nMurong Bo laughed hollowly and said: “I am not that resourceful, merely this Forbidden Heaven Prison was designed and build by my Murong clan’s ancestor. And in order to avoid the descendants of Murong clan falling into this prison, every prison cell has an escaping passage, but no one other than the descendants of Murong clan can find these passage.”\n“Fuck your grandpa, what’s this, your ancestors are awesome.” Hearing Murong Bo, Long Yi was speechless inwardly. The unbreakable Forbidden Heaven Prison unexpectedly had this kind of loophole.\n“That’s natural, it seems you are not blind, want to know how to find secret passages?” Murong Bo was an experienced person, and seeing the expression of Long Yi, how could he not know what Long Yi was thinking.\n“Even the best fall down sometimes, in case, I am unfortunately confined in this place one day, then wouldn’t that be terrible? You also know how awful this place is, we can neither use douqi nor magic, it’s very difficult to escape.” Long Yi said with a smile.\n“Who said you cannot use magic and douqi inside Forbidden Heaven Prison?” Murong Bo waved his hand, and dazzling golden douqi streak across in the air.\nUpon seeing this, Long Yi thought that this prison cell of Murong Bo was different from other, so he tried to sense magic elements in the air, but there truly weren’t any magic elements, and he also couldn’t use douqi, however why could Murong Bo use douqi? Truly was absurd.\n“Actually, the reason is very simple, your strength is too weak, wait until the day when you are able to use the domain, after that, you can come and go as you please from this Forbidden Heaven Prison including those 5 special prison cells of this Forbidden Heaven Prison.” Murong Bo said with a smile.\n“You are talking nonsense, aren’t you? I am pretty sure that even if you were confined in those special prison cells, then even if you have a domain, it would be as useless as a fart.” Long Yi said. At that time, he had experienced being confined in that place, so he knew this much.\n“Do you truly want to know the secret passages of Forbidden Heaven Prison?” Murong Bo asked with a smile.\n“Of course.” Long Yi became alert, as he was not sure whether Murong Bo harbored ill intentions or not.\n“It is not impossible to tell you, but there is no free lunch in this world, naturally there is a condition.” Murong Bo laughed.\n“What condition, just say it.” Long Yi raised his eyebrows and said.\n“You are to my liking, boy, hereafter every night come to this place and spend some time with this old man, and conveniently, we can also explore about the problems of the martial arts.” Murong Bo said and smiled, appearing harmless.\nLong Yi suspiciously looked at Murong Bo, this was the condition? This old man, a Swords God giving him pointer every day was the greatest fortune for him, but does this world really have free meals like this?" } ]
第286章 “是谁？” 龙一追问道。 “当年冰宫的一个女弟子，叫什么名字我倒是忘了。” 你不是开玩笑吧。” 龙一的脸色有些难看了，事情怎么又牵扯到了冰宫，况且冰宫中人不都是水系魔法师吗？ 他一直是这么认为的。 “你看我这样子像是开玩笑吗？ 当年你爷爷只身前往冰原寻找如意冰蚕丝，差点将命搭在那里，后来被冰宫的这位女弟子所救，我曾经看过她用冰旋之壁，只是不敢肯定而已。” 慕容博说道。 龙一摸了摸鼻子，这似乎挺戏剧化的，爷爷的经历怎么和他差不多啊。 他和虞凤带着无双前往冰原寻找如意冰蚕的血液，结果也是被冰宫中人所救。 如果那女剑圣真的是冰宫中人的话，那她与无双不就是同门了。 “老头，那为什么爷爷与她没有在一起？” 龙一问道。 “这个……只能去问他们自己了。” 慕容博笑道。 龙一摸着下巴的胡渣开始沉思起来，事情还真是够复杂的，他本想理顺，却是越想越糊涂，最后干脆放弃了，船到桥头自然直，总有水落石出的一天。 念及此，龙一心里轻松了很多，等回去之后便叫天网情报组时时注意无双的下落，他有预感，无双与他终究是缠绕在一起的两根线，她与他的缘份远不止此。 “刚子，我看你还挺顺眼的，要不要去我那坐一坐。” 慕容博笑问。 龙一连忙应承，笑话，他可是剑神啊，对斗气地理解应该比谁都透彻。 说不定他指点一下自己就超越大剑师的境界达到剑圣境界了。 随着慕容博快速在腾龙城间穿行，当两人停在一处守卫森严的偏僻之处时，龙一张大了嘴巴望着那一排排全副武装巡逻的守卫，而且他也知道这个地方，想当初他就是从这个出口被仇复带出来地。 “禁天监狱，老头，你别跟我说你住在这里边。” 龙一讶异道。 “答对了，这里就是我住了近四十年的地方，可以算我的家了。” 龙一无语地指了指他又指了指下面，真不知道是佩服他还是鄙视他。 “这里有吃有喝还没有人打扰。 没有比这里更舒服的地方了。” 慕容博嘿嘿诡笑两声。 拉着龙一闪到外围守卫比较薄弱地一个角落，只见他凝神感觉了一下，两手快速在地上交替着拍了几下。 一个直径半米左右的黑洞便无声无息地出现了。 “下去啊，愣着干什么。” 慕容博见龙一发愣，催促道。 龙一也不再犹豫，轻飘飘地跳了下去，他相信慕容博不会害他，如果要害他凭他剑神的实力哪用得着这么麻烦。 只是这门应该是牢房里用的铁门吧，莫不是真的到禁天监狱里面来了。 龙一拉开铁门上的小窗向外一瞅，果见外面是一排排纵横交错地牢房，不时有巡逻的牢卫走过。 正在这时，慕容博也从落了下来，顶上的洞立刻恢复了原样。 “怎么样小子，我这里还不错吧。” 慕容博见得龙一一脸惊奇，坐在沙发上不无得意地笑道。 “你还真是神通广大，连禁天监狱也能开秘道。” 龙一走过来坐在慕容博地对面，心中佩服。 慕容博干笑两声，道：“我倒是没那么神通广大，只是这禁天监狱是我慕容家祖上设计建成，为了避免慕容家子孙陷入囹圄，每一间牢房都有离开的通道，只是这通道非我慕容家子孙是找不到的。” “我靠你爷爷的，不会吧，你们祖上可真牛。” 龙一闻言暗自咋舌，传闻中牢不可破的禁天监狱竟然有这样的漏洞。 “那是自然，你眼珠子瞎转个啥，想知道怎样找到秘道？” 慕容博都是成精了的人了，看龙一的表情哪还不知道他的心思。 “这个人有失手马有失蹄，万一哪天我倒霉被关了进来岂不糟糕，你也知道这鬼地方又不能用斗气又不能魔法地，很难逃掉的。” 龙一笑道。 “谁说禁天监狱里不能用魔法斗气的。” 慕容博大手一挥，一道眩目金黄的斗气划破空气。 龙一见状以为这牢房被慕容博动了手脚，他一感知便发生这空气中确实没有一点魔法元素，斗气也施放不出来，只是慕容博为什么就能用呢？ 真是见鬼。 “其实道理很简单，你的实力太弱，等有一天你能够施放出领域的时候，这禁天监狱除了那五间特制的牢房，你便可以来去自如了。” 慕容博笑道。 我如果被抓，肯定是关在那特制的牢房里，就算有了领域也没屁用。” 龙一没发气道，他当年刚刚穿越被抓便被关在那里，如今更不用说了。 “你真想知道禁天监狱里的秘道？” 慕容博嘿嘿笑问。 “当然。” 龙一心中警觉，怎么觉得慕容博不怀好意呢。 “告诉你也不是不可以，只是这世上没有白吃的午餐，当然是有条件的。” 慕容博笑道。 “什么条件，说来听听。” 龙一挑眉问道。 “你小子合我胃口，以后每天晚上抽些时间过来陪陪我这老头子，顺便我们也可以探讨一下武学上的问题。” 龙一怀疑地望着慕容博，这也算条件？ 他这剑神每天给自己开小灶貌似自己才是最大的受益者，这天下当真有白吃的午餐？
Chapter 286: Forbidden Heaven Prison is my home “Who?” Long Yi asked closely. “A female disciple of Ice Palace, I forgot her name.” Murong Bo frowned and said. “Ice Palace? You are not joking right?” The complexion of Long Yi became somewhat ugly, how come this matter again involve Ice Palace? Moreover weren’t all the people of Ice Palace water magicians? He had always thought so. “Do you think I am joking? At that time, when your grandfather went to Origin Ice by himself to look for Ruyu Ice Silkworm, he nearly died there, but later was rescued by this female disciple of Ice Palace. I have seen her using Spinning Ice Wall once before, merely I don’t dare to confirm, that’s all.” Murong Bo said. Long Yi touched his nose, feeling this matter was quite dramatic, as the experience of his grandfather was similar to him. He and Yu Feng took Wushuang and go to Origin Ice in search of Ruyu Ice Silkworm’s blood, resulting in them being rescued by the person of Ice Palace. If that female Swords Saint truly was the people of Ice Palace, then now, wasn’t she and Wushuang the fellow disciples? “Old man, then why didn’t grandfather get together with her?” Long Yi asked. “This…you can go and ask them.” Murong Bo said. Long Yi rubbed the beard stubble of his chin, and began to ponder, now the matter was even more complicated. He wanted to rationalize the matter, but the more he thought the more confused he became, finally, he gave up rationalizing. When the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current, there inevitably will be a day when the whole thing comes to the light. Thinking this, the heart of Long Yi relaxed greatly. He thought that after returning, he would ask Skynet Intelligence Group to pay attention to the whereabouts of Wushuang. He had a premonition that Wushuang and he would eventually cross the path. The fate would definitely bring them together. “Boy, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, want to go to my place and chat?” Murong Bo asked with a smile. “Go, of course, I want to go and chat.” Long Yi hastily agreed. This old man however was Sword God, with regarding the understanding of douqi, who could compare to him. If he gave him some pointers, then he might break through the bottleneck of Great Swords Master realm and reach Swords Saint realm. Along with Murong Bo quickly passing through Soaring Dragon City, the two people stopped at the strictly guarded remote place. Long Yi watched those groups of fully armed patrolling guards with his mouth wide open, he knew this place, this place was the same place from where Qiu Fu had broken him out at that time. “Forbidden Heaven Prison, old man, don’t tell me that you live in this place?” Long Yi said in surprise. “Correct, this is the place where I have been living for nearly 40 years. This place can be regarded as my home.” Murong Bo indifferently said. Long Yi was speechless, pointing Murong Bo and again pointing the place below, he truly didn’t know whether to admire him or look down upon him. “This place has things to eat and drink but no-one to disturb, there is no more comfortable place compared to this place.” Murong Bo looked at surprised Long Yi and laughed. Murong Bo smirked, then pulled Long Yi to one corner in the periphery where the guards were comparably weaker, then his nimble finger poked several times on the ground. After that, a hole which was 0.5 meter in diameter silently appeared on the ground. “Go down, why are you still in a daze?” Seeing Long Yi was in a daze, Murong Bo hasten him. Long Yi no longer hesitated and immediately jumped down, he believed that Murong Bo wouldn’t harm him, if he really wanted to harm him, then with his Sword God realm strength, there was no need for him to go through such length. After feeling he had fallen for several tens of meters, Long Yi saw the light, and unexpectedly a room appeared in front of him, furthermore, this room was complete with furniture, merely the room was a prison cell with an iron grille. They had truly entered Forbidden Heaven Prison. Long Yi pulled open the small window of the iron grille and looked outside, and sure enough, he saw rows of crisscrossed prison cells outside, moreover, patrolling prison guards were passing by from time to time. At that time, Murong Bo also fell down, then the hole above them immediately revert back to the previous state. “How is it, boy, my place isn’t bad, right?” Seeing Long Yi was surprised, Murong Bo sat on the sofa and laughed smugly. “You are truly resourceful, you can even open the secret passage of Forbidden Heaven Prison.” Long Yi walked over and sitting opposite to Murong Bo, he said in admiration. Murong Bo laughed hollowly and said: “I am not that resourceful, merely this Forbidden Heaven Prison was designed and build by my Murong clan’s ancestor. And in order to avoid the descendants of Murong clan falling into this prison, every prison cell has an escaping passage, but no one other than the descendants of Murong clan can find these passage.” “Fuck your grandpa, what’s this, your ancestors are awesome.” Hearing Murong Bo, Long Yi was speechless inwardly. The unbreakable Forbidden Heaven Prison unexpectedly had this kind of loophole. “That’s natural, it seems you are not blind, want to know how to find secret passages?” Murong Bo was an experienced person, and seeing the expression of Long Yi, how could he not know what Long Yi was thinking. “Even the best fall down sometimes, in case, I am unfortunately confined in this place one day, then wouldn’t that be terrible? You also know how awful this place is, we can neither use douqi nor magic, it’s very difficult to escape.” Long Yi said with a smile. “Who said you cannot use magic and douqi inside Forbidden Heaven Prison?” Murong Bo waved his hand, and dazzling golden douqi streak across in the air. Upon seeing this, Long Yi thought that this prison cell of Murong Bo was different from other, so he tried to sense magic elements in the air, but there truly weren’t any magic elements, and he also couldn’t use douqi, however why could Murong Bo use douqi? Truly was absurd. “Actually, the reason is very simple, your strength is too weak, wait until the day when you are able to use the domain, after that, you can come and go as you please from this Forbidden Heaven Prison including those 5 special prison cells of this Forbidden Heaven Prison.” Murong Bo said with a smile. “You are talking nonsense, aren’t you? I am pretty sure that even if you were confined in those special prison cells, then even if you have a domain, it would be as useless as a fart.” Long Yi said. At that time, he had experienced being confined in that place, so he knew this much. “Do you truly want to know the secret passages of Forbidden Heaven Prison?” Murong Bo asked with a smile. “Of course.” Long Yi became alert, as he was not sure whether Murong Bo harbored ill intentions or not. “It is not impossible to tell you, but there is no free lunch in this world, naturally there is a condition.” Murong Bo laughed. “What condition, just say it.” Long Yi raised his eyebrows and said. “You are to my liking, boy, hereafter every night come to this place and spend some time with this old man, and conveniently, we can also explore about the problems of the martial arts.” Murong Bo said and smiled, appearing harmless. Long Yi suspiciously looked at Murong Bo, this was the condition? This old man, a Swords God giving him pointer every day was the greatest fortune for him, but does this world really have free meals like this?

She nodded and asked, \"Did you arrange for the reconnaissance?\"\nJiang Wei said, \"Arrangements have been made for Zu Yan to lead and Fatty has set off as well.\nHaving been sharpened by the battle, which had greatly influenced him, he appeared more steady and restrained. Not only him, even Sang Zhijun and Fatty seemed like different people individually.\nJiang Wei’s work could always be trusted since he rarely made mistakes.\nShi Xueman was surprised, \"Even Fatty is going? He is not suitable to be a scout.\"\nSang Zhijun heard and smiled, \"Aren’t they both fire elementalists? Both of them used to soak in the fire reservoirs together, and with Fatty so thick-skinned, how can Zu Yan be his opponent? Just a short time was needed for them to become good brothers.\"\nJiang Wei said hurriedly, \"Besides being a little bit thick-skinned, Fatty is actually not too bad.\"\nSang Zhijun covered her mouth and laughed, \"Are you praising him?\"\nJiang Wei reacted and laughed heartily.\nShi Xueman noticed the fluctuation of elemental energy throughout Jiang Wei’s whole body and her eyes lit up, \"Jiang Wei, are you going to have a breakthrough?\"\nSang Zhijun was stunned to hear this. She turned her face toward Jiang Wei and gushed, \"Breakthrough? Why did you not mention it?\"\nSang Zhijun was prepared for action. \"It seems like I have to put in more effort and not be left behind.\"\nShi Xueman looked at the two of them and could not help smiling. Jiang Wei and Sang Zhijun got close to each other recently and gelled really well. Although Jiang Wei did not come from an aristocratic background, he was destined for a bright future as he was steady and calm. The Sang family used to be mediocre, but their situation was not much better now.\nSang Zhijun played a critical role in her family and had sufficient authority to speak.\nJiang Wei thought of something and said, \"Zu Yan has recently improved tremendously.\"\nWith the achievements of Master Zu Yan, everyone should have addressed him as Master in accordance with the usual practice. However, addressing him as \"Master\" still made people feel awkward. It also made Zu Yan uncomfortable, so he requested that everyone address him by his name.\nShi Xueman sighed with emotion. \"He is probably inspired by Senior Le Buleng.\"\nJiang Wei and Sang Zhijun nodded one after another as they agreed with Shi Xueman.\nSang Zhijun was full of worries. \"I wonder if Senior Le Buleng has reached the Jadeite Forest? I admire the courage of Senior Le Buleng, but to challenge Dai Gang at this time, the odds are slim.\"\nJiang Wei had a different view. \"When will we ever have a high chance to defeat Dai Gang? I, however, feel that the timing is just right. Thus, do not worry about the future of Zu Yan as he is a carefree spirit. After witnessing the actions of Grandmaster An Muda, the battle spirit in Senior Le Buleng was also aroused. Moreover, after seeing the actions of Skyheart City, anger filled his heart. From the moral point of view, it was the limit for Senior Le Buleng.\"\nTalking about Skyheart City made Sang Zhijun angry and she grunted, \"Unfortunately, I was not present at that time. It is with great regret that I did not get to see Senior Le Buleng in a rage. Skyheart City really makes people angry!\"\nJiang Wei saw that Sang Zhijun was angry and hurriedly comforted her, \"There’s nothing to be angry about. At least they gave us a God-subduing Peak. A God-subduing Peak is something I have never even dreamed of.\"\nSang Zhijun grinned from ear to ear and was full of optimism. \"Oh yes, with the God-subduing Peak, we do not need to take other’s feelings into consideration. Plus, a lot of Xueman’s ideas can also be achieved.\"\nShi Xueman had the utmost expectation for the God-subduing Peak. She used to be stationed at a God-subduing Peak, had experienced its power, and had thought about it before. What would be the result if she possessed a God-subduing Peak and erected the Hellfire Pagoda Cannon on top of the peak.\nThe recent battles had made her profoundly aware of the changes in her surroundings.\nFormer combat divisions only had to confront dire beasts, but now they had to face the blood elementalists who were under the reformed combat divisions. The enemy had undergone tremendous changes and many strategies had became less suitable.\nThis was destined to be a rapidly changing era.\nShe remembered some of the points that Ai Hui had elaborated on in his letter and had to admit that Ai Hui’s keen instinct for battle was extraordinary. He obviously lacked rich experience in warfare, but this did not seem to prevent Ai Hui from understanding the battle.\nMaybe it was a gift.\nThis thought flashed across Shi Xueman’s mind, and she immediately laughed at the fact that it took until now to discover Ai Hui’s gift. Wasn’t the talent of Ai Hui obvious since the first battle?\nShe repeatedly warned, \"Continue to be alert.\"\n\"Yes!\"\nJiang Wei and Sang Zhijun obeyed the order with a salute. No matter how close their relationship was in private, everyone was serious when it came to business.\nShi Xueman accelerated her pace and a thought flickered in her mind.\nShe wanted to capture this feeling.\nFatty scanned the mountain below and muttered from time to time, \"This barren land, not even a shadow to be seen. Nothing, there is nothing at all. We have flown for a long time, and it is very tiring. Little Yanyan, let’s go down to rest.\"\nZu Yan was speechless, \"I am taking you to fly. What is so tiring?\"\nFatty nonchalantly said, \"My eyes are tired. Why don’t you try it?\"\nZu Yan rolled his eyes, but had to admit that Fatty had the right to say so. Fatty was definitely not a good scout, either in terms of size or speed. Zu Yan was willing to take the trouble of bringing Fatty along despite his habit of constant grumbling for an important reason.\nFatty’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s and even the pheasants who hid in the impenetrable grass could be seen.\nBasically, if Fatty said it was safe after a glance at the place, that meant it was truly safe.\nZu Yan was much more powerful than Fatty, but when it came to eyesight, they were not comparable. Fatty could aim the Hellfire Pagoda Cannon so well and so accurately, something that definitely could not be done with bad eyesight.\nHowever, Zu Yan deeply hated some of Fatty’s bad habits.\nA little bit of work, yet he was already complaining of tiredness. Nonsensical talk from his mouth kept pouring out and could not be blocked. Zu Yan was almost driven crazy by Fatty’s nonsense when they were both in the same fire reservoir and had nowhere else to escape to at the beginning. Zu Yan was powerful and therefore able to endure the high-level fire reservoir. Fatty was obviously not strong, yet he was still able to stay put inside.\nZu Yan was descending and getting ready to land. He picked out a spot with a very good view of the terrain. It was located on a mountain ridge and the line of sight was very far.\nAs Fatty was preparing to rest, his eyes suddenly blinked and his body stiffened.\nZu Yan, who was carrying Fatty, noticed it and instantly asked, \"Did something happen?\"\nFatty did not speak, but squinted his eyes and slowly scanned around. After a while, he turned his body and lowered his voice, \"There are blood elementalists!\"\nZu Yan trembled with fear. \"Where are they?\"\nFatty stretched, yawned, and whispered, \"Behind the rock, about six or seven miles away from us.\"\nZu Yan looked Fatty’s deceitful expression and suspected he was cooking up a scheme. He asked immediately, \"What is your plan?\"\n\"You go get some prey, but do not go too far.\"\nFatty kept on turning around and his eyes continuously scanned all about, exactly like a veteran scout.\nZu Yan felt suspicious, \"Are you hungry? Misleading me by asking me to hunt for you.\"\nZu Yan decided to shut up since he had never won an argument with Fatty.\nAfter talking, Fatty swaggered toward the low-lying ground, seemingly looking for a sheltered place to rest.\nZu Chun flew the fastest. He set out last, yet flew the farthest. His Ability of God was [Heavenly Roc Wings] which were very commonly used. The pitch-black wings grew from his back with sections of black and red feathers folded layer by layer. The pattern formed by the black and red was extremely exquisite, graceful, and elegant.\nThe Heavenly Roc was an ancient divine beast which was fierce and tough, roaming all over the highest of the heavens.\nThe blood in his body, which contained Heavenly Roc ancestral mark, should have originated from the blood golden eage. However, after millions of years, the content of the Heavenly Roc ancestral mark in the blood golden eagle had become very diluted. Still, the power of this small portion of diluted blood was already sufficient to make a qualitative change in the strength of Zu Chun power.\nZu Chun had already discovered the presence of the two of them earlier.\nHe did not rush over, but quietly landed. Then, he found a place to hide and waited for the two elementalist scouts to enter into his attack range.\nA confrontation between scouts was unusually brutal and cruel.\nEvery scout wanted to capture the opposite party since a live captive was worth far more than a corpse. A captive scout would have a miserable end as they would be tortured and treated cruelly. Even suicide was an extravagant hope.\nThe scouts needed not only strong personal strength, but also steel-like willpower. Otherwise, once they were captured, they would not be able to withstand the torture and would divulge information.\nHe never expected the two elementalist scouts to stop moving forward, but they stopped to take a rest instead.\nAm I discovered?\nZu Chun felt this was impossible since he was quite a distance away from them and had not exposed himself.\nAfterward, he saw that one of the scouts unexpectedly went to hunt.

第五百二十九章 师雪漫正在巡视营地，看到姜维和桑芷君，朝两人点点头：“探哨安排了吗？” 姜维道：“已经安排了，祖琰带队，胖子也去了。” 他的气息日益沉稳内敛，战斗的磨砺，对他的影响很大。 不光是他，桑芷君等人亦是如此，就连胖子都如同换了一个人。 姜维做事从来都让人放心，很少出纰漏。 师雪漫讶然：“胖子也去了？ 他不适合做探哨吧。” 桑芷君闻言笑道：“他们俩不都是火修吗？ 两人一起泡过火池，胖子脸皮又厚，祖琰哪里是对手？ 三下五除二就成好兄弟了。” 姜维连忙道：“除了不要脸了点，其实胖子人还是不错。” 桑芷君掩嘴笑道：“你这是夸他吗？” 姜维反应过来，也哈哈大笑。 师雪漫注意到姜维周身的元力波动，眼前一亮：“姜维这是快要突破了吗？” 桑芷君闻言一愣，转过脸看向姜维，满脸惊喜：“要突破了？ 怎么没听你说起？” 桑芷君摩拳擦掌：“看来本小姐最近要努力了，不能被你甩在身后。” 师雪漫看着两人，不由莞尔。 姜维和桑芷君走得很近，两人的感觉很好。 君在家中的地位举足轻重，拥有足够的话语权。 姜维想到一件事，道：“祖琰最近要振奋不少。” 以祖琰大师的实力，按照惯例大家应该以师相称，但是“祖师”这个称呼，还是让大家觉得别扭。 祖琰也觉得不自在，要求大家直呼其名。 师雪漫感慨道：“大概是受到乐不冷前辈的激励吧。” 姜维和桑芷君纷纷点头，他们都知道师雪漫说的是什么。 桑芷君充满担忧：“也不知道乐不冷前辈可到了翡翠森？ 虽然很佩服乐不冷前辈的勇气，但是这个时候去挑战岱纲，胜算不大啊。” 我却觉得这次的时机刚好。 祖琰的未来，不用担忧，他的心中无牵挂。 目睹安木达宗师的光辉足迹，乐不冷前辈心中战意正盛。 谈到天心城，桑芷君就觉得来气，哼了一声：“可惜当时不在场，没能见到乐不冷前辈怒斥的场面，太遗憾了。 天心城确实让人生气！” 姜维看到桑芷君生气，连忙安慰道：“没什么好生气的。 起码他们还送给咱们一座镇神峰，那可是镇神峰啊，真是做梦也没想到。” 桑芷君喜笑颜开，充满憧憬：“是啊，有了镇神峰就更不用看他们的脸色。 而且雪漫的很多想法，也可以实现了。” 师雪漫对镇神峰也无比期待，她以前驻守过镇神峰，对镇神峰的厉害深有体会。 之前就曾想过，假如自己有镇神峰，把地火塔炮架设在镇神峰上，那会发挥出什么样的效果？ 最近的战斗，让她深刻地感受到周围环境的变化。 曾经的战部面对的都是荒兽，而如今他们需要面对的是神修，是经过改制之后的神修战部。 敌人发生了巨大的变化，许多战术变得不那么适合。 这注定是一个急剧变化的时代。 她想起艾辉信上阐述的一些观点，不得不承认，艾辉对战斗的敏锐直觉超乎常人。 明明没有丰富的战部经验，但这似乎并没有妨碍艾辉对战斗的理解。 也许这是一种天赋。 这个念头在师雪漫的脑海中一闪而过，她旋即失笑，自己居然现在才明白艾辉的天赋？ 从一开始，从第一场战斗开始，艾辉的天赋不就展现得淋漓尽致么？ 她叮嘱道：“继续警戒。” “是！” 姜维和桑芷君同时行礼应命。 私底下再熟悉关系再好，但是在公事上，大家都是一丝不苟。 师雪漫加快步伐，她脑海中隐约有灵光在闪动。 她要抓住这种感觉。 胖子的眼睛滴溜溜扫过下方的山峦，嘴里不时嘟囔着：“这穷山恶水的，连个人影都看不到。 没有，什么都没有。 祖琰一脸无语：“我带着你飞，你累什么？” 胖子理所当然道：“眼睛累啊，要不换你试试？” 祖琰翻了个白眼，但是心底却也得承认，胖子有这么说的资格。 不管从体型还是速度上，胖子都绝对不适合做探哨。 胖子的眼睛特别贼特别毒，连躲在密不透风草丛里的山鸡都能看到。 基本上胖子扫一眼，说这里安全了，那就是真的安全了。 祖琰的实力比胖子强得多，但是眼力这一块，却要差得远。 然而胖子身上的一些毛病，祖琰实在深恶痛绝。 当初祖琰就被胖子的废话差点逼疯了，两人一个火池，逃都没地方逃。 够呆在里面。 祖琰还是降低高度，准备降落。 他挑了一处视野非常好的地势，恰好位于一处山脊，能够看到很远的地方。 正准备休息的胖子眼珠子忽然动了一下，他身体一僵。 拎着胖子的祖琰第一时间察觉到，立马警惕地问：“有情况？” 胖子没说话，眯着眼睛，缓缓扫过周围。 过了一会，他转过身体，压低声音道：“是血修！” 祖琰心中一凛：“在哪？” 刚才他没有任何发现。 胖子舒展懒腰，打着哈欠，低声道：“在那片岩石后面，距离我们大概有六七里。” 祖琰一看胖子贼兮兮的表情，就知道这家伙在构思什么坏水，连忙问：“你有什么计划？” “你去弄点猎物来，不要离开太远。” 胖子不时地转身，目光频频扫过四周，就像一位老练的探哨。 为了兄弟打猎，难道不是应该的吗？ 亏你泡火池的时候，我怕你无聊，还专门陪你。” 祖琰决定闭嘴，和胖子争执，他就从来没赢过。 胖子说完就大摇大摆朝一处洼地走去，看模样是想找一个避风的地方好好休息。 祖春飞行的速度最快，他出发得最晚，却飞得最远。 他的神通是【天鹏翅】，是一种非常使用的神通。 背后生长出来的翅膀色泽漆黑，一片片黑红交织的羽毛层层相叠。 不过血金雕所蕴含的天鹏血脉历经数百万年，已经非常稀薄。 但是仅仅这一点稀薄的血脉，所拥有的力量就让祖春的实力发生质的变化。 祖春早就发现了两人。 他没有直接冲过来，而是悄然降落，找到一处隐蔽之处潜伏，等待两位元修探哨进入他的攻击范围。 探哨之间的交锋是异常惨烈残酷。 每一位探哨都想俘虏对方，一个活口的价值远远超过一具尸体。 被俘虏的探哨，下场会极为悲惨，他们会受尽折磨，各种各样的酷刑施展时，连自杀都是一种奢望。 探哨需要的不仅仅是强悍的个人实力，还需要有钢铁般的意志。 否则一旦被擒，无法承受酷刑，意志崩溃，己方的情报就会彻底泄露。 然而他万万没想到，这两名元修探哨居然不向前进，而是停下来休息。 难道被发现了？ 祖春觉得不可能啊，自己距离这么远，没有露半点破绽。 然后他看到其中一名探哨居然去猎杀野物，放下心来，看来不是被发现，而是遇到两名水平低下的探哨。 任何一只战部的探哨，都是精英中的精英。 可是两人如此业余的表现，让祖春大为摇头。 但是看到胖子的身材，他更加无语。 哪一只战部会选一名身材如此臃肿的胖子充当探哨？ 还是遇到了其他的战部？ 重云之枪、兵人、天锋都不可能这么业余。 越想越是可能，莫非是上次师雪漫他们的胜利，刺激到其他的战部，他们也想在神国身上捞一点功绩？ 祖春心中冷笑。 他悄然朝对方摸过去。 对方极为疏忽大意，竟然背对他，而且两人似乎还在发生争执。 两个垃圾！ 祖春的目光杀机闪动。
Chapter 529: Reconnaissance Shi Xueman was patrolling the camp when she saw Jiang Wei and Sang Zhijun. She nodded and asked, "Did you arrange for the reconnaissance?" Jiang Wei said, "Arrangements have been made for Zu Yan to lead and Fatty has set off as well. Having been sharpened by the battle, which had greatly influenced him, he appeared more steady and restrained. Not only him, even Sang Zhijun and Fatty seemed like different people individually. Jiang Wei’s work could always be trusted since he rarely made mistakes. Shi Xueman was surprised, "Even Fatty is going? He is not suitable to be a scout." Sang Zhijun heard and smiled, "Aren’t they both fire elementalists? Both of them used to soak in the fire reservoirs together, and with Fatty so thick-skinned, how can Zu Yan be his opponent? Just a short time was needed for them to become good brothers." Jiang Wei said hurriedly, "Besides being a little bit thick-skinned, Fatty is actually not too bad." Sang Zhijun covered her mouth and laughed, "Are you praising him?" Jiang Wei reacted and laughed heartily. Shi Xueman noticed the fluctuation of elemental energy throughout Jiang Wei’s whole body and her eyes lit up, "Jiang Wei, are you going to have a breakthrough?" Sang Zhijun was stunned to hear this. She turned her face toward Jiang Wei and gushed, "Breakthrough? Why did you not mention it?" Sang Zhijun was prepared for action. "It seems like I have to put in more effort and not be left behind." Shi Xueman looked at the two of them and could not help smiling. Jiang Wei and Sang Zhijun got close to each other recently and gelled really well. Although Jiang Wei did not come from an aristocratic background, he was destined for a bright future as he was steady and calm. The Sang family used to be mediocre, but their situation was not much better now. Sang Zhijun played a critical role in her family and had sufficient authority to speak. Jiang Wei thought of something and said, "Zu Yan has recently improved tremendously." With the achievements of Master Zu Yan, everyone should have addressed him as Master in accordance with the usual practice. However, addressing him as "Master" still made people feel awkward. It also made Zu Yan uncomfortable, so he requested that everyone address him by his name. Shi Xueman sighed with emotion. "He is probably inspired by Senior Le Buleng." Jiang Wei and Sang Zhijun nodded one after another as they agreed with Shi Xueman. Sang Zhijun was full of worries. "I wonder if Senior Le Buleng has reached the Jadeite Forest? I admire the courage of Senior Le Buleng, but to challenge Dai Gang at this time, the odds are slim." Jiang Wei had a different view. "When will we ever have a high chance to defeat Dai Gang? I, however, feel that the timing is just right. Thus, do not worry about the future of Zu Yan as he is a carefree spirit. After witnessing the actions of Grandmaster An Muda, the battle spirit in Senior Le Buleng was also aroused. Moreover, after seeing the actions of Skyheart City, anger filled his heart. From the moral point of view, it was the limit for Senior Le Buleng." Talking about Skyheart City made Sang Zhijun angry and she grunted, "Unfortunately, I was not present at that time. It is with great regret that I did not get to see Senior Le Buleng in a rage. Skyheart City really makes people angry!" Jiang Wei saw that Sang Zhijun was angry and hurriedly comforted her, "There’s nothing to be angry about. At least they gave us a God-subduing Peak. A God-subduing Peak is something I have never even dreamed of." Sang Zhijun grinned from ear to ear and was full of optimism. "Oh yes, with the God-subduing Peak, we do not need to take other’s feelings into consideration. Plus, a lot of Xueman’s ideas can also be achieved." Shi Xueman had the utmost expectation for the God-subduing Peak. She used to be stationed at a God-subduing Peak, had experienced its power, and had thought about it before. What would be the result if she possessed a God-subduing Peak and erected the Hellfire Pagoda Cannon on top of the peak. The recent battles had made her profoundly aware of the changes in her surroundings. Former combat divisions only had to confront dire beasts, but now they had to face the blood elementalists who were under the reformed combat divisions. The enemy had undergone tremendous changes and many strategies had became less suitable. This was destined to be a rapidly changing era. She remembered some of the points that Ai Hui had elaborated on in his letter and had to admit that Ai Hui’s keen instinct for battle was extraordinary. He obviously lacked rich experience in warfare, but this did not seem to prevent Ai Hui from understanding the battle. Maybe it was a gift. This thought flashed across Shi Xueman’s mind, and she immediately laughed at the fact that it took until now to discover Ai Hui’s gift. Wasn’t the talent of Ai Hui obvious since the first battle? She repeatedly warned, "Continue to be alert." "Yes!" Jiang Wei and Sang Zhijun obeyed the order with a salute. No matter how close their relationship was in private, everyone was serious when it came to business. Shi Xueman accelerated her pace and a thought flickered in her mind. She wanted to capture this feeling. Fatty scanned the mountain below and muttered from time to time, "This barren land, not even a shadow to be seen. Nothing, there is nothing at all. We have flown for a long time, and it is very tiring. Little Yanyan, let’s go down to rest." Zu Yan was speechless, "I am taking you to fly. What is so tiring?" Fatty nonchalantly said, "My eyes are tired. Why don’t you try it?" Zu Yan rolled his eyes, but had to admit that Fatty had the right to say so. Fatty was definitely not a good scout, either in terms of size or speed. Zu Yan was willing to take the trouble of bringing Fatty along despite his habit of constant grumbling for an important reason. Fatty’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s and even the pheasants who hid in the impenetrable grass could be seen. Basically, if Fatty said it was safe after a glance at the place, that meant it was truly safe. Zu Yan was much more powerful than Fatty, but when it came to eyesight, they were not comparable. Fatty could aim the Hellfire Pagoda Cannon so well and so accurately, something that definitely could not be done with bad eyesight. However, Zu Yan deeply hated some of Fatty’s bad habits. A little bit of work, yet he was already complaining of tiredness. Nonsensical talk from his mouth kept pouring out and could not be blocked. Zu Yan was almost driven crazy by Fatty’s nonsense when they were both in the same fire reservoir and had nowhere else to escape to at the beginning. Zu Yan was powerful and therefore able to endure the high-level fire reservoir. Fatty was obviously not strong, yet he was still able to stay put inside. Zu Yan was descending and getting ready to land. He picked out a spot with a very good view of the terrain. It was located on a mountain ridge and the line of sight was very far. As Fatty was preparing to rest, his eyes suddenly blinked and his body stiffened. Zu Yan, who was carrying Fatty, noticed it and instantly asked, "Did something happen?" Fatty did not speak, but squinted his eyes and slowly scanned around. After a while, he turned his body and lowered his voice, "There are blood elementalists!" Zu Yan trembled with fear. "Where are they?" Fatty stretched, yawned, and whispered, "Behind the rock, about six or seven miles away from us." Zu Yan looked Fatty’s deceitful expression and suspected he was cooking up a scheme. He asked immediately, "What is your plan?" "You go get some prey, but do not go too far." Fatty kept on turning around and his eyes continuously scanned all about, exactly like a veteran scout. Zu Yan felt suspicious, "Are you hungry? Misleading me by asking me to hunt for you." Zu Yan decided to shut up since he had never won an argument with Fatty. After talking, Fatty swaggered toward the low-lying ground, seemingly looking for a sheltered place to rest. Zu Chun flew the fastest. He set out last, yet flew the farthest. His Ability of God was [Heavenly Roc Wings] which were very commonly used. The pitch-black wings grew from his back with sections of black and red feathers folded layer by layer. The pattern formed by the black and red was extremely exquisite, graceful, and elegant. The Heavenly Roc was an ancient divine beast which was fierce and tough, roaming all over the highest of the heavens. The blood in his body, which contained Heavenly Roc ancestral mark, should have originated from the blood golden eage. However, after millions of years, the content of the Heavenly Roc ancestral mark in the blood golden eagle had become very diluted. Still, the power of this small portion of diluted blood was already sufficient to make a qualitative change in the strength of Zu Chun power. Zu Chun had already discovered the presence of the two of them earlier. He did not rush over, but quietly landed. Then, he found a place to hide and waited for the two elementalist scouts to enter into his attack range. A confrontation between scouts was unusually brutal and cruel. Every scout wanted to capture the opposite party since a live captive was worth far more than a corpse. A captive scout would have a miserable end as they would be tortured and treated cruelly. Even suicide was an extravagant hope. The scouts needed not only strong personal strength, but also steel-like willpower. Otherwise, once they were captured, they would not be able to withstand the torture and would divulge information. He never expected the two elementalist scouts to stop moving forward, but they stopped to take a rest instead. Am I discovered? Zu Chun felt this was impossible since he was quite a distance away from them and had not exposed himself. Afterward, he saw that one of the scouts unexpectedly went to hunt. He felt relieved and thought that he had not been discovered, but had encountered two substandard scouts. It was extremely dangerous to scout for information. The scouts of any combat division were the best of the elites. However, the amateurish performance of these two made Zu Chun shake his head. He was even more speechless after seeing Fatty’s figure. Which combat division would choose a fat man with such a bloated body to serve as a scout? Am I getting confused? Am I encountering another combat division? The Spear of Heavy Cloud, Infantry Division, and Sky Edge Division could not be so novice. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed that the victory of Shi Xueman during the previous battle had stimulated the rest of the combat divisions and they also wanted to earn some merits against the God Nation? Zu Chun sneered. He quietly walked toward the other party. The other party was negligent and had their backs facing him. In addition, the two seemed to still be in dispute. Two rascals! Zu Chun’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Initially, he had suspected it was the newcomer Silver Wing listed in the credits, but after figuring out Silver Wing's true intentions, he reversed himself. Silver Wing couldn't possibly have assigned such an important project to a newcomer.\nSong Shihua studied the credits at the end of the two music videos again and again. He also ordered his underlings to research everyone listed. His conclusion: the list of project team members was incomplete. Silver Wing had left out the most important name.\nMore than a few people shared Song Shihua's thinking.\nIndustry practice was to only identify the producer of the virtual idol project at the outset. The producer was the equivalent of the director of a TV show or movie. As for the composer, the arranger, the mixer, and the actual performer, they were never named. Any other names that would draw attention away from the virtual idol were held back. Only when the virtual idol became a bona fide star, when the timing was right, would the label provide a detailed division of labor.\nEven though everyone wanted to know who had composed the two movements and who had mixed and arranged them, you couldn't tell from the list of credits at the end of the music videos. Most people believed that the names listed were merely technicians and that Silver Wing had held back the names of the composer, arranger, and mixer. They were probably afraid these folks would get poached. Inside a sanatorium in Yanzhou's coastal city of Jinggang.\nFamed musician and virtual idol producer Glifetz was sitting by the window in his room as usual, except he hadn't been in the mood to enjoy the bright sunshine for days now. All he did was stare at his tablet. He looked pale and frowned increasingly harder.\nHe wasn't faking it this time. He was really sick. On the day the second movement, \"Cocoon Breach,\" was released, Gliftez was nearly transferred to intensive care.\nHis humble hopes for a comeback were dashed with the release of the second movement. Ming Cang's comments put him in an even tougher spot. The more attention Polar Light got, the worse his situation, and the dimmer the prospects of his comeback. Quite a few colleagues were already poking fun at him, saying he didn't even measure up to a newcomer.\n\"Still no luck?\" Glifetz asked the three people standing next to him. They were all disciples of his. Two of them had been purged from Silver Wing's virtual projects department last year.\nGlifetz's voice was hoarse and muffled, but his tone was pointed. He spoke slowly, making for a creepy delivery. It sounded like a set of rusty gears struggling to rotate, giving his three students the goosebumps.\n\"Not yet,\" one of the students said, his head drooped.\nThe other two students shriveled, wishing they were somewhere else.\nGlifetz had asked them to identify the composer who wrote the two movements. The composer was the key to Polar Light's success. The three students tried on their own and worked some of Glifetz's connections, but they still came up empty-handed.\nIt wasn't just them. Most of the folks at Silver Wing only knew that the project was assigned to Fang Zhao, but they didn't know who the actual composer was.\n\"No?\" Glifetz sounded like he was responding and talking to himself at the same time. He had a desperate look in his eyes.\nGlifetz paused briefly, then waved his hand, signaling his students to leave.\nA tremendous weight lifted from their shoulders, and the trio bolted, not bothering to ask any follow-up questions.\nGlifetz was the only person left in the quiet room. The afternoon sun was quite strong, flooding the entire room with light. The flowers in the vase were still lush, adding a touch of brightness to the room. But the room was so quiet you could hear Glifetz breathe, and a sense of chill prevailed.\nGlifetz switched his tablet to encrypted mode and dialed a number. The person on the other end answered after about 15 seconds.\n\"What is it?\" The person sounded cautious. He lowered his voice and, before Glifetz could speak, blurted out, \"If you're calling about the Polar Light project, I can't tell you anything. Duan Qianji is watching everyone like a hawk. I don't want to get kicked out.\"\nThe person on the other end was a senior executive at Silver Wing who had a history with Glifetz. He benefited quite a bit from Glifetz's help in the past.\n\"It's OK. I know I'm putting you in a difficult bind. All I want to know is who the actual composer behind the first two movements of the Polar Light project is.\"\n\"...\" The senior executive went silent for a few seconds. \"Duan Qianji issued strict orders not to tell.\"\n\"I just want to know for myself. I won't tell anyone else.\" Glifetz knew his source had to be careful, so he added, \"I swear I won't tell anyone else.\"\nA longer silence on the other end. Hesitation.\nGlifetz didn't dial up the pressure. He just waited patiently.\nAfter a minute's silence, the person said in a muffled voice, \"It's Fang Zhao.\"\n\"Come again?\" Glifetz was so shocked he got up abruptly and almost fell before struggling to regain his balance.\n\"You know, the newcomer.\"\n\"Impossible!\"\n\"Believe it or not.\"\n\"How come... That doesn't make sense. Why would Silver Wing trust a newcomer with such an expensive project? A newcomer couldn't possibly have composed...\" Glifetz was in disbelief.\n\"I'm warning you, just keep this to yourself. Don't tell anyone, otherwise we are both finished. You know what Duan Qianji is capable of,\" the source said before hanging up.\nIn the warm and bright room, Glifetz collapsed onto his deck chair, limbs sprawled, and dropped his tablet. He lay paralyzed, a corpse waiting to be fossilized.\nA sudden shiver. Glifetz felt the chills. Fang Zhao?\nThe newcomer he'd researched, the one who had joined Silver Wing just this year?\nHe remembered that fellow. A fresh graduate in his 20s. Fang Zhao wasn't even a third his age.\nA little punk had all but hammered the final nail into his coffin.\nIf only Fang Zhao knew what Glifetz was thinking.

第43章 宋实华最想挖的就是这两个乐章背后的真正创作人，一开始他也曾怀疑过是不是银翼放在明面上的那个新人，但确定银翼的目标之后，他就否定了原来的猜想，在他看来，银翼不可能将这么重要的项目分给新人。 宋实华在MV收尾的字幕上扫了一遍又一遍，让手下人将这上面列出的每个人都调查过，最后下了个结论：项目组的名单肯定不完整！ 银翼隐藏了最重要的部分！ 与宋实华一样想法的人不在少数。 依照行规，一开始的时候，只会清楚标出虚拟项目的制作人是谁，虚拟项目的制作人就相当于影视里面的导演一职，至于谁作曲，谁作词，谁编曲，谁混音，谁演唱的，等等那些都不会标明，任何可能分散虚拟偶像热度的字眼，都会被限制，只有在真正将这个虚拟偶像推到高处，时机成熟的时候，公司才会公开这背后详细的分工。 所以，现在就算各方都想知道这两个乐章的创作人，以及混音、编曲人分别是谁，但依照MV里给出的这些，是没法判断的，并且大部分人都认为放出来的只是技术员工，创作者、编曲、混音等等都被银翼藏好了，目的就是担心被人挖墙脚吧？ 著名音乐人、虚拟偶像制作人葛列菲兹大师如往常一样，坐在房间的窗户旁边，只是他已经很多天都没心情去享受美好的日光浴了，一直盯着手上的联络器，眉头的褶痕更深了，面色憔悴。 这次不是装病，他是真病了，那天第二乐章《破茧》发布的时候，葛列菲兹就差点进重病监护室。 原本的那点翻身的期待，随着第二乐章的发布而碎裂，之后明苍的话更是令他处境更艰难，银翼推出的虚拟偶像极光受到的关注越多，他的处境就越差，翻身的希望越渺茫，现在已经有不少同行在嘲笑他去年的失败，说他还不如一个新人！ “还没查出来？” 葛列菲兹问身旁站着的三个人，这三个都是他收的徒弟，其中两个曾被银翼洗出虚拟项目部。 葛列菲兹的声音有些嘶哑和压抑，却又带着些许尖锐，每个字都说的很慢，给人一种极阴森的感觉，像是被卡住的生锈的齿轮硬生生转了一圈。 听得三个徒弟胳膊上的鸡皮疙瘩都冒出了几粒。 “还没。” 另外两个缩着脖子，很想当自己不存在。 葛列菲兹让他们查一查那两个乐章背后的真正创作者，可以说，极光成功的关键因素，就是背后的这位创作者。 其实不只是他们，银翼内部大部分人只知道接项目的是方召，但创作者是谁却是不知晓的。 “没有？” 葛列菲兹像是在回应他们的话，又像是在自言自语，眼中神色莫名。 犹豫半晌，葛列菲兹挥手，示意三人先出去。 三个徒弟如释重负，不敢多问，快步离开房间。 安静的房间里只有葛列菲兹一人，下午的阳光不错，将房间里照得亮堂，花瓶里的花仍旧带着娇艳的色泽，给屋子增添几分活气，但现在，安静得能听到呼吸声的房间里却透着一股冷意。 葛列菲兹在通讯器加密模式下输入了一个通讯号，约么十五秒后，对方接通。 “什么事？” 那边的人似乎很小心，压低声音，不等葛列菲兹开口，那边赶紧加了句，“如果是问关于极光项目的事情，我没法告诉你，现在段千吉盯得紧，我现在还不想被踹出去。” 那边是银翼的一位高管，私下里与葛列菲兹有些交情，以前曾在葛列菲兹的帮助下捞了不少好处。 “不，其他的我知道你为难，不能多说，我就想知道，极光项目，那两个乐章的创作者到底是谁？” “……”那边沉默了几秒，有些为难，“这个段千吉特意吩咐过，不能说出去。” “我只想知道，不会多说。” 知道对方也在顾忌，葛列菲兹道。 这次那边沉默的时间更长了，像是在犹豫。 葛列菲兹也不催，就安静地等待。 一分钟的静默之后，那边才再次压低声音道，“是方召。” 葛列菲兹惊得站起来，差点站不稳摔倒，好不容易维持身体平衡之后，又问了一次。 “就你知道的那个，新人。” “不可能！” “信不信随你。” “为什么……不应该啊……银翼这么大的投资，竟然会交给一个新人？ “我警告你，你自己知道就行了，现在别说出去，否则咱俩都玩完，你知道段千吉的手段。” 那边说完就断开通讯。 温暖敞亮的房间里，葛列菲兹跌坐在躺椅上，任由通讯器从手中滑落，他只保持着刚才跌坐的样子，愣愣的坐在那里，仿佛等待风化的石头。 突然葛列菲兹身体哆嗦了一下，他感觉浑身发冷。 就是他查过的那个今年才进银翼的新人？ 他记得那个人，刚结束高等教育毕业，二十出头，年纪还不到他的三分之一！ 就这么一个小鬼，竟然将他逼到这般境地！ 如果方召知道葛列菲兹此时的想法，一定会告诉他：我才是你大爷！ 不管其他人怎么想，也不管业内的一些媒体如何叫嚣着要寻找背后的真正创作人，方召更没心情去应付媒体，他配合银翼的应对措施，没事就不出公司，他要玩游戏。 跟段千吉申请的游戏设备今天终于能装好了！ 十几种枪械游戏道具，几乎与真实枪械外形一般无二，这种是很难弄到的，因为与真实枪械太像，比影视部门的拍戏道具管得还要严，不过，段千吉她丈夫就是军队的，段千吉自己也有渠道，真要去弄的话，别说游戏道具，真枪都能弄到不少。 公司的部分保卫人员，就是拥有合法携带枪械权的人。 段千吉给了虚拟项目部门他二十天的假期，这段时间方召的注意力都会放到游戏上。 正看着那些安装人员在准备好的房间里装置设备，方召的通讯器响了。 是一个陌生的通讯号。 走到办公室，方召选择了语音接通。 “喂，方召吗？” “我就是。” 方召走到落地窗边，看着五十楼下方的那些来来往往的飞车。 “我是霓光文化的B级经纪人毕沃斯，你有没有兴趣来我们霓光文化发展？ 不用担心银翼的违约金，我们可以帮你解决，只要你愿意过来，我们会立刻安排签约，待遇等同于我们公司的B级合同明星，一年内创作的作品享有宣传优先权，创作中还会有大师指导。 当然，如果你还有什么想法，咱们可以聊聊。” 在宋实华还在犹豫要不要下手的时候，霓光文化的人已经先一步找上来了。 “霓光文化的毕沃斯？ 方召问。 他现在用的是身体原主离开学校居住在黑街的时候弄的新号，与学校档案上的通讯号不同，知道的人不多。 “说起来也是有缘，我们公司的新人部那边有你老乡，你应该认识的。” “方声？” “对对，就是他，是不是觉得很有缘？ 哈哈！” 毕沃斯也是在查方召的信息时，发现他与公司的另一个新人作曲者方声，老家在同一个地方，读的同一个小学，同一所中学，他问了才知道，原来这两人还真认识。 不过他在问方声要方召的通讯号时，方声极差的面色毕沃斯也没在意，只当是方声心里不平衡了，并未往其他方向想。 “确实有缘。” 方召低声笑了笑，盯着窗外的视线像是刀锋上晃过的冷光，“不如你先去问一问方声，他那三首歌的真正创作者，到底是谁。”
Chapter 43: Serendipitous Indeed Translator: Min Lee Editor: Tennesh The person Song Shihua wanted to poach the most was the actual composer behind the two movements. Initially, he had suspected it was the newcomer Silver Wing listed in the credits, but after figuring out Silver Wing's true intentions, he reversed himself. Silver Wing couldn't possibly have assigned such an important project to a newcomer. Song Shihua studied the credits at the end of the two music videos again and again. He also ordered his underlings to research everyone listed. His conclusion: the list of project team members was incomplete. Silver Wing had left out the most important name. More than a few people shared Song Shihua's thinking. Industry practice was to only identify the producer of the virtual idol project at the outset. The producer was the equivalent of the director of a TV show or movie. As for the composer, the arranger, the mixer, and the actual performer, they were never named. Any other names that would draw attention away from the virtual idol were held back. Only when the virtual idol became a bona fide star, when the timing was right, would the label provide a detailed division of labor. Even though everyone wanted to know who had composed the two movements and who had mixed and arranged them, you couldn't tell from the list of credits at the end of the music videos. Most people believed that the names listed were merely technicians and that Silver Wing had held back the names of the composer, arranger, and mixer. They were probably afraid these folks would get poached. Inside a sanatorium in Yanzhou's coastal city of Jinggang. Famed musician and virtual idol producer Glifetz was sitting by the window in his room as usual, except he hadn't been in the mood to enjoy the bright sunshine for days now. All he did was stare at his tablet. He looked pale and frowned increasingly harder. He wasn't faking it this time. He was really sick. On the day the second movement, "Cocoon Breach," was released, Gliftez was nearly transferred to intensive care. His humble hopes for a comeback were dashed with the release of the second movement. Ming Cang's comments put him in an even tougher spot. The more attention Polar Light got, the worse his situation, and the dimmer the prospects of his comeback. Quite a few colleagues were already poking fun at him, saying he didn't even measure up to a newcomer. "Still no luck?" Glifetz asked the three people standing next to him. They were all disciples of his. Two of them had been purged from Silver Wing's virtual projects department last year. Glifetz's voice was hoarse and muffled, but his tone was pointed. He spoke slowly, making for a creepy delivery. It sounded like a set of rusty gears struggling to rotate, giving his three students the goosebumps. "Not yet," one of the students said, his head drooped. The other two students shriveled, wishing they were somewhere else. Glifetz had asked them to identify the composer who wrote the two movements. The composer was the key to Polar Light's success. The three students tried on their own and worked some of Glifetz's connections, but they still came up empty-handed. It wasn't just them. Most of the folks at Silver Wing only knew that the project was assigned to Fang Zhao, but they didn't know who the actual composer was. "No?" Glifetz sounded like he was responding and talking to himself at the same time. He had a desperate look in his eyes. Glifetz paused briefly, then waved his hand, signaling his students to leave. A tremendous weight lifted from their shoulders, and the trio bolted, not bothering to ask any follow-up questions. Glifetz was the only person left in the quiet room. The afternoon sun was quite strong, flooding the entire room with light. The flowers in the vase were still lush, adding a touch of brightness to the room. But the room was so quiet you could hear Glifetz breathe, and a sense of chill prevailed. Glifetz switched his tablet to encrypted mode and dialed a number. The person on the other end answered after about 15 seconds. "What is it?" The person sounded cautious. He lowered his voice and, before Glifetz could speak, blurted out, "If you're calling about the Polar Light project, I can't tell you anything. Duan Qianji is watching everyone like a hawk. I don't want to get kicked out." The person on the other end was a senior executive at Silver Wing who had a history with Glifetz. He benefited quite a bit from Glifetz's help in the past. "It's OK. I know I'm putting you in a difficult bind. All I want to know is who the actual composer behind the first two movements of the Polar Light project is." "..." The senior executive went silent for a few seconds. "Duan Qianji issued strict orders not to tell." "I just want to know for myself. I won't tell anyone else." Glifetz knew his source had to be careful, so he added, "I swear I won't tell anyone else." A longer silence on the other end. Hesitation. Glifetz didn't dial up the pressure. He just waited patiently. After a minute's silence, the person said in a muffled voice, "It's Fang Zhao." "Come again?" Glifetz was so shocked he got up abruptly and almost fell before struggling to regain his balance. "You know, the newcomer." "Impossible!" "Believe it or not." "How come... That doesn't make sense. Why would Silver Wing trust a newcomer with such an expensive project? A newcomer couldn't possibly have composed..." Glifetz was in disbelief. "I'm warning you, just keep this to yourself. Don't tell anyone, otherwise we are both finished. You know what Duan Qianji is capable of," the source said before hanging up. In the warm and bright room, Glifetz collapsed onto his deck chair, limbs sprawled, and dropped his tablet. He lay paralyzed, a corpse waiting to be fossilized. A sudden shiver. Glifetz felt the chills. Fang Zhao? The newcomer he'd researched, the one who had joined Silver Wing just this year? He remembered that fellow. A fresh graduate in his 20s. Fang Zhao wasn't even a third his age. A little punk had all but hammered the final nail into his coffin. If only Fang Zhao knew what Glifetz was thinking. He would have responded, "I'm your daddy, not the other way around." __________ Regardless of what other people thought, regardless of the fact that some industry publications were clamoring for the name of the composer behind Polar Light, Fang Zhao was in no mood to deal with the media. He stuck to Silver Wing's new protocol of not leaving the building unless it was necessary. He wanted to game. The gaming equipment he'd requested from Duan Qianji had finally been set up. There were about a dozen prop guns that were nearly identical to the real thing. These were hard to come by. They looked so realistic that they were more tightly regulated than the prop guns used by the label's film division. Duan Qianji's husband was a military official and she had her own connections. If they wanted to, they could probably procure a sizable batch of real firearms, let alone prop guns. Some of Silver Wing's security staff were licensed to carry. Duan Qianji gave the virtual projects department 20 days off. Fang Zhao planned to devote the bulk of this period to gaming. Fang Zhao's bracelet rang as he watched technicians install the gaming consoles in a dedicated room. It was a number he didn't recognize. He walked into his office and selected voice transmission. "Hello? Is it Fang Zhao?" It was the voice of a male stranger. "Speaking." Fang Zhao walked to his window and examined the flying car traffic below the 50th floor. "My name is Beavis.

Tell us, Boss Yuan.\" Su Mu said first.\n\"A very simple activity.\" Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said in a few words.\nAt that time, Yuan Zhou appeared rather solemn with his face taut.\nIt helped a lot to practice this expression in the mirror every day.\nAs a result, he didn't reveal any nervousness at all.\nSpeaking of which, this was all because of the system.\nJust as Yuan Zhou had some free time, the system suddenly released a mission.\nThe system displayed, \"A surprise mission. Do you want to take it?\"\n\"You have just cheated me. Are you addicted to that?\" Yuan Zhou complained expressionlessly.\n\"Is there any reward?\" Yuan Zhou kept silent for a while and then asked.\nThe system displayed, \"Yes.\"\n\"Tsk-tsk. Such a blunt answer. But you are much too deceitful. I request to check the mission.\" While looking at the answer of the system, Yuan Zhou said more affirmatively.\nThe system displayed, \"The mission is available to be checked.\"\n[Surprise Mission] A completion of a challenge would enable you to get a reward.\n(Mission tips: The content of the activity is \"Why am I so awesome?\". After the mission commences, please collect the customers' opinions by various means. The quantity is 10,000 pieces.)\n\"Is this mission really useful?\" Yuan Zhou was quite suspicious that it was another different system.\nThe missions released by the system were basically about being a chef. If not, it was about how to form good habits to become a master chef.\nIt had never released such a ridiculous mission. It was simply absurd.\n\"What kind of character? The character of 'Why am I so awesome?'?\" Yuan Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself, although he looked like a neurotic by doing that.\nThe system displayed, \"The reward will be generous.\"\n\"Then what exactly is the mission about?\" Yuan Zhou felt the mission itself was quite weird.\nSeeing the system say so, however, Yuan Zhou still read on subconsciously and only then did he see the reward of the mission.\nAfter all, the mission was way too weird.\n\"Wow, a nice reward.\" Yuan Zhou said while looking at the reward in a restrained manner.\nThe reward of the system was a new dish, which was quite interesting on the aspects of both the cooking method and the eating method.\n\"By the way, my customers must get a reward from participating the activity. What's that?\" Yuan Zhou looked carefully at it and then asked.\nThe system displayed, \"The reward of the activity is a delicious meal at the restaurant.\"\n\"A delicious meal in the restaurant? A new dish?\" Yuan Zhou asked subconsciously.\nThe system displayed, \"Customers can taste any dish in the restaurant once for free. They can order the dishes.\"\n\"Order a dish for free?\" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled.\nThe system displayed, \"The expenses of the free meal will be deducted from the cash box.\"\nYuan Zhou stared at the explanation for at least three times and then asked, \"So you mean that I have to pay the money, right?\"\nThe system displayed, \"You can comprehend it that way.\"\n\"I don't want the mission anymore.\" Yuan Zhou said cleanly and neatly without any hesitation.\nThe system displayed, \"After the mission is completed, you can receive the reward.\"\n\"But I don't want the mission.\" Yuan Zhou said naturally.\nThe system was lost in silence for quite a long while this time. The silence was so long that the system didn't appear again until Yuan Zhou finished cooking another dish and carried it out.\nThe system displayed, \"Host, aren't you satisfied with the reward?\"\n\"No, it's very good and I like it very much.\" Yuan Zhou said calmly.\nThe system displayed, \"Then why are you refusing it?\"\nIt should be the first time that the system asked about the reason for Yuan Zhou's refusal. Of course, it was also the first time that Yuan Zhou had refused the mission.\n\"Never think of letting me treat others.\" Yuan Zhou said that quite decidedly, without any room for maneuver.\n\"Of course, I will never treat others unless I die.\" Yuan Zhou added.\nIf the system had sentiments, it would surely reply him with \"mentally retarded\".\nHow would a dead man treat others? And besides, how could he be sooooo stingy?\nThis time, the system kept silent for a much longer while. About 10 minutes.\nThe system displayed, \"All the food ingredients of the rewarded dish this time will be provided by the system for free.\"\n\"System, do you think I should advertise on the internet or directly hang it by the door?\" The moment Yuan Zhou noticed the two words of \"for free\", he corrected himself immediately.\nThe correction was made so quickly that he directly started to ask about matters concerning the subject.\n\"Of course, I will arrange that in a moment. System, you are way too polite.\" Yuan Zhou said primly.\nAs if he had been refused when he wanted to treat others.\n\"I'm embarrassed to say that. But there's definitely no restrictions on any particular dish since I stand treat.\" Yuan Zhou asked tentatively.\nHowever, the system might have been stunned by Yuan Zhou's shamelessness and thus couldn't say anything.\n\"Sigh. I believe I am the only person that's so generous and can treat others without a reason.\" Yuan Zhou patted his chest quite proudly and then said.\nAs for where the mysterious confidence came, it was unknown to others.\nTherefore, the activity mentioned by Yuan Zhou came into being.\n\"It's a voting activity. Are you interested in taking part in it?\" Yuan Zhou asked seriously.\nThen Yuan Zhou introduced the rules briefly. Of course, it happened after the lunch time ended.\n\"Yes, of course. But even if I have been clear about the rules, what's the content of the activity?\" Wu Hai asked curiously.\n\"I want to know what the reward is.\" Su Mu was persistent in the reward.\n\"A simple activity? No one wants to guess?\" A customer proposed.\n\"No. I still want to know about the reward and the content. After all, Boss Yuan still didn't get to the point after such a long speech,\" another customer shrugged and said discontentedly.\nThe reason why Yuan Zhou said so concisely was also very simple. It was two totally different things to say \"Why am I so awesome?\" by words and in written form.\nYuan Zhou admitted himself to be a very shy and modest man. Before he said that by himself, he needed some psychological preparations.\n\"All these are what I want to ask,\" the remaining customers added smilingly.\nExcept for the USD matter that happened previously, the entire lunch time was quite harmonious.\nLiu Hui and Jack, the leading roles of the matter, left silently after they finished the meal, not taking a look at Yuan Zhou again or saying anything else.\nWhile Yuan Zhou was still hesitant about the activity, however, Jack had posted on Facebook and narrated the matter briefly.\n[I have located the so-called small restaurant of delicious dishes and done the taste test. The taste is irreproachable and I could only shut my mouth and concentrate on eating.]\n[But I don't recommend you guys to go to eat there.]\nThen, he posted the address, the decorations, and the surrounding inside of Yuan Zhou's restaurant.\nAfter he posted on Facebook, Jack was still very angry.

第三百五十八章 “什么活动，袁老板你说说。” 苏沐最先开口。 “一个很简单的活动。” 袁州想了想，简单的说道。 这个时候袁州的脸绷的很紧，看起来就是很严肃的样子。 每天对着镜子的练习还是很有用的。 这不就完全没有露出紧张的样子。 说起来，这个都是系统的问题。 就在袁州稍稍空闲的时候，突然发布了一个任务。 系统现字:“惊喜任务一个，是否接受？” “刚刚才坑完，你是上瘾了吗。” 袁州面无表情地吐槽。 系统现字:“是否接受。” “有奖励吗。” 袁州沉默了一会才开口问道。 “啧啧，真是干脆的回答，但是你太坑，我要求看任务。” 袁州看着系统的回答，更加肯定的说道。 系统现字:“任务可查看。” 【惊喜任务】完成一次活动挑战，可获得奖励一份。 （任务说明:活动内容为“我为什么这么叼！” 请在任务开始后，以各种方式收集食客的看法，收集份数为一万份。 “这个任务真的有用？” 袁州怀疑系统被调换了。 要知道系统发布的任务基本都和厨师有关，不然也是养成厨神的习惯之类的。 从未发过这么无厘头的任务，简直莫名其妙。 要不是自言自语很像神经病，袁州自己忍不住了。 系统现字:“奖励丰厚。” “那么任务是怎么回事。” 袁州觉得这个任务本身就有毛病。 不会过看见系统这样说，袁州还是下意识的往下看，这才看到这次的任务奖励。 毕竟这个任务太奇葩了。 “奖励不错。” 袁州很是克制的看着奖励说道。 系统奖励的是一道新的菜肴，不管是从做法还是吃法都很是有意思。 “对了，我做这个活动，食客得有奖励，奖励是什么？” 袁州细细看了看，这才发问。 系统现字:“活动奖励为小店美食一顿。” “小店美食？ 新出的菜？” 袁州下意识的问道。 系统现字:“食客可免费来品尝一次店内食物，可点餐。” “免费点餐？” 袁州有些疑惑。 系统现字:“此次客人用餐费用，将由钱箱直接扣除。” 袁州盯着这话起码看了三遍，这才开口“你的意思是我请客是吧？” 系统现字:“亦可这样理解。” “我不要任务了。” 袁州干脆利落，毫不犹豫的说道。 系统消现字:“完成任务后，奖励可领取。” “但是我不要任务了。” 袁州大大方方的说道。 这次系统沉默了很久，久到袁州自己再次做好一次餐点端出去，系统才再次现字。 系统现字:“宿主是否不满意奖励。” “没毛病，很好，我很喜欢。” 袁州淡定的说道。 系统现字:“宿主为何拒绝？” 这应该是系统第一次询问袁州拒绝的原因，当然这也是袁州第一次拒绝任务。 “要我请客不可能。” 袁州这话说的很是坚定，完全没有转换的余地。 “当然，除非我死了，那就可以请客。” 袁州补充说道。 若是系统有情绪，那么肯定是一排智障刷过去。 死人怎么请客，而且一个人是怎么做到这么如此小气的。 这次系统沉默的时间再次多了很多，直到十几分钟后。 系统现字:“此次奖励所用原材料，由本系统全部免费提供。” 这次免费这两个字，做出了着重标记记好。 “系统，你觉得我把这句话放到网上，还是直接挂在门口？” 袁州第一时间注意到免费这两个字，然后立刻改口。 “你说这个时候肯定是我来安排，系统你就是太客气了。” 袁州一本正经的说道。 好像想请客却被推下来。 “多不好意，既然请客肯定没有菜色限制，和菜品限制。” 袁州试探性的问道。 然而系统可能被袁州的不要脸震惊，直接说不出话来了。 直接毫无反应。 “哎，也就只有我这么大方，直接请客吃饭。” 袁州很是自豪的拍着胸口说道。 至于这个迷之自信是哪里来的就不清楚了。 是以这才有了，袁州所说的活动事宜。 “是一个投票活动，有兴趣参加没有。” 袁州一脸严肃的问道。 然后袁州简单的介绍了规则，当然这个时间已经是午餐时间的结束以后。 “有，当然，不过这个活动规则我了解了，内容是什么呢？” 乌海好奇的问道。 “我想知道奖励是什么。” 苏沐则执着于奖励的事情。 “一句话的活动？ 就没人想猜一猜？” 食客提议。 “不要，我还是想知道奖励和内容，毕竟袁老板说了半天都没说道重点。” 食客耸肩不满的说道。 至于袁州为什么掐头去尾的说，也很简单，自己说出“我为什么这么叼。” 和文字写出来完全是两回事。 袁州自认还是一个很腼腆，很谦虚的男人，说这个话前，还是需要做一下心里准备。 “这些都是我想问的。” 剩下的食客笑眯眯的补充说道。 除了前面发生的美金事件后，整个午餐时间都很和谐。 至于事件猪脚柳晖和jack则默默吃完，默默走了再也没看过袁州，或者说过任何其他的事情。 然而就在袁州纠结的时候jack发了脸书，简单的说了一下事情的经过。 [找到所谓的美味小店，已经试吃，技术没问题，味道无可挑剔，甚至可以让我闭紧嘴只管吃。 [但不推荐各位去吃！ 然后贴出了袁州小店的地址和里面的装修布景。 发了脸书，jack还是很气愤，走路的时候就开始登录论坛账号。 书写的内容还是刚刚发的脸书，这次论坛上，不推荐各位食用这句被jack加粗标红。 每一个论坛帖子，jack都去回复了一遍这样的内容。 中心思想就是虽然好吃，但绝不推荐别人去吃。 ps:不好意思有点晚，谢谢大家了，喜欢请给菜猫投个票，谢谢。
Chapter 360: Why Am I So Awesome Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth "What kind of activity? Tell us, Boss Yuan." Su Mu said first. "A very simple activity." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said in a few words. At that time, Yuan Zhou appeared rather solemn with his face taut. It helped a lot to practice this expression in the mirror every day. As a result, he didn't reveal any nervousness at all. Speaking of which, this was all because of the system. Just as Yuan Zhou had some free time, the system suddenly released a mission. The system displayed, "A surprise mission. Do you want to take it?" "You have just cheated me. Are you addicted to that?" Yuan Zhou complained expressionlessly. "Is there any reward?" Yuan Zhou kept silent for a while and then asked. The system displayed, "Yes." "Tsk-tsk. Such a blunt answer. But you are much too deceitful. I request to check the mission." While looking at the answer of the system, Yuan Zhou said more affirmatively. The system displayed, "The mission is available to be checked." [Surprise Mission] A completion of a challenge would enable you to get a reward. (Mission tips: The content of the activity is "Why am I so awesome?". After the mission commences, please collect the customers' opinions by various means. The quantity is 10,000 pieces.) "Is this mission really useful?" Yuan Zhou was quite suspicious that it was another different system. The missions released by the system were basically about being a chef. If not, it was about how to form good habits to become a master chef. It had never released such a ridiculous mission. It was simply absurd. "What kind of character? The character of 'Why am I so awesome?'?" Yuan Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself, although he looked like a neurotic by doing that. The system displayed, "The reward will be generous." "Then what exactly is the mission about?" Yuan Zhou felt the mission itself was quite weird. Seeing the system say so, however, Yuan Zhou still read on subconsciously and only then did he see the reward of the mission. After all, the mission was way too weird. "Wow, a nice reward." Yuan Zhou said while looking at the reward in a restrained manner. The reward of the system was a new dish, which was quite interesting on the aspects of both the cooking method and the eating method. "By the way, my customers must get a reward from participating the activity. What's that?" Yuan Zhou looked carefully at it and then asked. The system displayed, "The reward of the activity is a delicious meal at the restaurant." "A delicious meal in the restaurant? A new dish?" Yuan Zhou asked subconsciously. The system displayed, "Customers can taste any dish in the restaurant once for free. They can order the dishes." "Order a dish for free?" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled. The system displayed, "The expenses of the free meal will be deducted from the cash box." Yuan Zhou stared at the explanation for at least three times and then asked, "So you mean that I have to pay the money, right?" The system displayed, "You can comprehend it that way." "I don't want the mission anymore." Yuan Zhou said cleanly and neatly without any hesitation. The system displayed, "After the mission is completed, you can receive the reward." "But I don't want the mission." Yuan Zhou said naturally. The system was lost in silence for quite a long while this time. The silence was so long that the system didn't appear again until Yuan Zhou finished cooking another dish and carried it out. The system displayed, "Host, aren't you satisfied with the reward?" "No, it's very good and I like it very much." Yuan Zhou said calmly. The system displayed, "Then why are you refusing it?" It should be the first time that the system asked about the reason for Yuan Zhou's refusal. Of course, it was also the first time that Yuan Zhou had refused the mission. "Never think of letting me treat others." Yuan Zhou said that quite decidedly, without any room for maneuver. "Of course, I will never treat others unless I die." Yuan Zhou added. If the system had sentiments, it would surely reply him with "mentally retarded". How would a dead man treat others? And besides, how could he be sooooo stingy? This time, the system kept silent for a much longer while. About 10 minutes. The system displayed, "All the food ingredients of the rewarded dish this time will be provided by the system for free." "System, do you think I should advertise on the internet or directly hang it by the door?" The moment Yuan Zhou noticed the two words of "for free", he corrected himself immediately. The correction was made so quickly that he directly started to ask about matters concerning the subject. "Of course, I will arrange that in a moment. System, you are way too polite." Yuan Zhou said primly. As if he had been refused when he wanted to treat others. "I'm embarrassed to say that. But there's definitely no restrictions on any particular dish since I stand treat." Yuan Zhou asked tentatively. However, the system might have been stunned by Yuan Zhou's shamelessness and thus couldn't say anything. "Sigh. I believe I am the only person that's so generous and can treat others without a reason." Yuan Zhou patted his chest quite proudly and then said. As for where the mysterious confidence came, it was unknown to others. Therefore, the activity mentioned by Yuan Zhou came into being. "It's a voting activity. Are you interested in taking part in it?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously. Then Yuan Zhou introduced the rules briefly. Of course, it happened after the lunch time ended. "Yes, of course. But even if I have been clear about the rules, what's the content of the activity?" Wu Hai asked curiously. "I want to know what the reward is." Su Mu was persistent in the reward. "A simple activity? No one wants to guess?" A customer proposed. "No. I still want to know about the reward and the content. After all, Boss Yuan still didn't get to the point after such a long speech," another customer shrugged and said discontentedly. The reason why Yuan Zhou said so concisely was also very simple. It was two totally different things to say "Why am I so awesome?" by words and in written form. Yuan Zhou admitted himself to be a very shy and modest man. Before he said that by himself, he needed some psychological preparations. "All these are what I want to ask," the remaining customers added smilingly. Except for the USD matter that happened previously, the entire lunch time was quite harmonious. Liu Hui and Jack, the leading roles of the matter, left silently after they finished the meal, not taking a look at Yuan Zhou again or saying anything else. While Yuan Zhou was still hesitant about the activity, however, Jack had posted on Facebook and narrated the matter briefly. [I have located the so-called small restaurant of delicious dishes and done the taste test. The taste is irreproachable and I could only shut my mouth and concentrate on eating.] [But I don't recommend you guys to go to eat there.] Then, he posted the address, the decorations, and the surrounding inside of Yuan Zhou's restaurant. After he posted on Facebook, Jack was still very angry. While he was walking, he started to log in the foodie forum. The content of his post was still same to that in the Facebook. On the forum, the several words of "Not recommending everybody to go to eat there" was bold and made in red. Jack went to reply every post in the forum with such content. The core idea of them was that he didn't recommend others to go there although the dishes were so delicious.

That figure above had fallen into deep thoughts as well.\n“So, what you mean is?”\nThe figure above shot Zhao Qianqiu a questioning gaze. As an instructor, Zhao Qianqiu had a greater say on this subject.\n“Hehe, honestly, I haven’t given it much thought yet. This is all just my conjecture in the end, and this is only the first day. We’ll know what we should do as we move along.”\nZhao Qianqiu said carefreely.\n“Haha, that’s fine as well. Indeed, this is just the first day. I’ll soon be returning to the royal palace to report events to His Majesty. His Majesty has been keeping a close watch on the Three Great Training Camps.”\nZhao Qianqiu chuckled as well.\nHearing Zhao Qianqiu’s words, that figure above laughed as well. He seemed to have known that Zhao Qianqiu would do this.\n“I understand.”\nClasping his fist tightly, Zhao Qianqiu turned around and left the main hall.\nShortly after Zhao Qianqiu left, that figure left Kunwu Training camp as well.\n… Time passed slowly. Soon, darkness had completely consumed the skies.\nMeditating on the floor, wave after wave of Origin Energy flowed into the meridians and acupoints in Wang Chong’s arms, shoulders, waist, and crotch.\nDexterity-type secret arts focused heavily on one’s arms, waist, and crotch. There were many acupoints and meridians that had to be paved open, and what makes things worse was that most of them didn’t overlap with the pathways of strength-type secret arts.\nThe ‘Hexad Arms Technique’ was a high-tier secret art so the number of hidden acupoints and pathways one had to open was many times greater than ordinary dexterity-type secret arts. As such, the process was fated to be lengthy and tiresome.\nIf Wang Chong wanted to cultivate a speed-type secret art on top of that, the number of hidden meridians and acupoints he would have to open up would be even greater. By then, the total amount of acupoints to open in itself could already potentially number in the hundreds.\nGiven the overwhelming energy and time one needed to dedicate to the cultivation of all three types of secret arts, one’s cultivation would surely be impeded, thus limiting one’s ultimate achievement in the path of martial arts.\nThis was the reason why Zhao Qianqiu didn’t recommend cultivating all three types of secret arts before reaching True Martial realm.\nHowever, Wang Chong was different. Back then, in the imperial prison, the Sage Emperor had bestowed him with two pills. The Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan had also each generously gifted him with a single pill, thus totaling up to four.\nOn top of that, he could claim quite a few of those unique pills crafted by the alchemists in the royal court from Six-fingered Zhang every month.\nIt was with such great resources that Wang Chong was willing to learn two or perhaps even three types of secret arts simultaneously.\nThe cultivation of the Hexad Arms Technique was difficult but the benefits were great. When paired with the Single Character Consecutive Slash, his fighting prowess would be multiplied several folds.\nIn truth, the reason Wang Chong saved the pills provided by the Sage Emperor was precisely to cultivate this Hexad Arms Technique after his release.\n“I should at least first reach minor accomplishment in the Hexad Arms Technique first before consuming any pill. This way, I can make use of the energy within the pill to open up the meridians and acupoints in arms, thus mastering it in the shortest time possible.”\nWang Chong thought.\nIn the Origin Energy realm, the Hexad Arms technique was definitely a dexterity-type secret art that stood at the zenith. Even when put against the more powerful secret arts available in True Martial realm, it still didn’t pale in comparison.\nEmbraced by the night, the White Tiger Peak fell completely silent. Immersed in the cultivation of the Hexad Arms Technique, Wang Chong became oblivious to the passage of time.\nKa!\nFollowing an unknown period of time, Wang Chong heard a crisp echo by his ear. It seemed like someone had stepped on a tree branch.\nHe halted his cultivation immediately. “Hm?”\nPerplexed, his eyes shot open. Such a crisp sound on a silent night like this was more than suspicious.\nOn top of that, it sounded extremely close to his room.\n“Weird. Am I mistaken?” Wang Chong was baffled.\nThe room was completely dark—there wasn’t a single lamp lit. Other than his own, Wang Chong could faintly hear another heartbeat. It was nearly imperceptible and exceptionally slow. It belonged to Su Hanshan.\nUnknowingly, he had returned to the room as well. Su Hanshan seemed to have noticed something was off as well, and he was trying to listen to the movements outside too.\nPeng!\nSuddenly, a loud explosion reverberated in the air. It seemed as though some heavy object had crashed into a room. It sounded extremely near, as if… it came from next door!\nThen, a loud and fearful scream echoed. It sounded exceptionally conspicuous amidst the silent night.\n“Jingdian!”\nWang Chong’s body jolted in agitation, and his face warped slightly. That voice didn’t come from Zhao Jingdian but the person who adamantly declared that he wouldn’t share a room with Su Hanshan.\nBut Zhao Jingdian shared a room with him, and the shout clearly meant that the duo had met with some kind of trouble.\nWeng!\nWang Chong immediately dashed forward, headed straight for the door.\nRoar!\nEverything happened swiftly. Just as Wang Chong was about to reach the door, the roaring of a tiger suddenly shook the air. Amidst the shadows, a massive silhouette flashed. It pounced from beyond the door, bringing about a sharp mountain gale with its movement.\n“A tiger?”\nWang Chong was taken aback. With the dim illumination from the night sky, he could vaguely make out the outline of a tiger. It was two meters long, with a head four times bigger than that of a human’s, and a physique even larger than a bear.\nBoom!\nWith everything happening in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong wasn’t granted any time to think. His right fist punched forward, clashing heavily with the tiger’s claws.\nPeng! An immense force jolted Wang Chong back as a sharp pain assaulted his arm. Making use of the momentum, Wang Chong leaped further back, pulling some distance between him and the tiger.\nAt the same time, the massive tiger landed on the floor. A slight crimson gleam could be seen from its eyes. Under the dim light, Wang Chong noticed that the tiger’s stomach was sunken in, and the outline of its bones could almost be seen.\nA starving tiger!\nAs this thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind, his complexion darkened. It was common sense that a starving tiger would be much fiercer and aggressive than in any other state.\nAfter the previous clash, Wang Chong gauged that the strength of the tiger was above his.\nOn top of that, its bones were much sturdier than his.\nDespite the concept of Tiger Bone in a human’s root bone cultivation, it only meant that the cultivation method was modeled after tigers. It didn’t really mean that one was able to compare up to a real tiger.\nSeeing the three tigers at the other end of the room, Su Hanshan stood up as well.\nWhile Wang Chong was marked by one of the tigers, the remaining two marked Su Hanshan. The threat that a single tiger posed was limited, but three at once meant something very different.\nRoar!\nThe mountain trembled and the roar of a tiger sounded from the neighboring room—the room which belonged to Zhao Jingdian and the other fellow. As though influenced by the aggressiveness in the roar, the three massive tigers charged forward, one going for Wang Chong while the other two for Su Hanshan.\nAn ominous wind blew through the darkness. In a flash, that massive shadow was already right before Wang Chong. Its speed, strength, dexterity, and burst power were astonishing.\nBack in the Wang Clan, Wang Chong had also tested the burst power of the Tiger Bone, and it had allowed him to cover a distance of several dozen zhang swiftly, a distance that was more than sufficient for him to capture a bird easily. However, compared to a real tiger, it seemed like he was still lacking.\nAfter all, how could an imitation compare up to a real tiger? Weng!\nWithout time to think, Wang Chong immediately executed the Celestial Steps, dodging to the side. Boom! The table behind Wang Chong was smashed into smithereens as the claw of the tiger swept all the way downward, creating a huge hole in the floor.\nEven though its attack had fallen empty, the starving tiger immediately turned around to strike Wang Chong once more.\nBut at this moment, Wang Chong had already reached his bed. He grabbed the sword he had left behind previously there. Klang!\nThe crisp sound of metal reverberated in the air as the sword was drawn from its sheath. In that moment, Wang Chong’s aura changed abruptly. Executing the Single Character Consecutive Slash, his movement speed surged, allowing him to easily avoid the tiger’s assault. Halfway through his movement, he abruptly twisted along with his sword, turning back for the tiger.\nSingle Character Consecutive Slash!\nBoom!\nAs the sword swung out, a deafening cry of agony shook the room. Wang Chong’s sword had cut into the body of the starving tiger.\nHowever, the expected sight of a clean cut didn’t occur. Rather, when it sunk into the tiger’s body, it seemed to have struck a metal plate, preventing Wang Chong from pushing the sword any further.\n“Tiger Bone!”\nThis thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind. The bones of a tiger were far sturdier and denser than that of a human cultivator. A sword could easily pierce into its flesh, but cutting through its bones would prove to be difficult.\nFailing to kill the tiger, Wang Chong further triggered its ferocity instead. A cold gleam flashed from its claws as it smashed down onto Wang Chong’s skull.\nWang Chong dared not face the blow directly. He hurriedly retreated and retrieved a sword mounted on the wall. The sheath covering this sword was ordinary and inconspicuous; something that one could buy for a few copper coins outside.\nMost people would just disregard it upon sight.

第二百零三章 夜半袭击！ 大殿里静悄悄的，显然那人也陷入了思考之中。 “那你的意思是？” 大殿上，那人的目光探询的望向赵千秋。 做为教官，在这方面赵千秋显然更有发言权。 “呵呵，我也没有想过。 一切还是我的猜想，而且，现在才刚刚开始，这才是昆吾训练营的第一天，到底怎么样以后看看就知道了。” 赵千秋道，这方面他反而豁达的很。 “哈哈，也好。 今天是昆吾训练营的第一天，收集了你这里的消息，一会儿我就该起程返回皇宫，到陛下那里回禀了。 这件事情，陛下可是一直盯着。” 赵千秋也笑道。 “哈哈哈，别弄得太过了！” 那人也被赵千秋逗笑了，显然也是知道他的风格。 “明白。” 赵千秋抱拳，然后离开了大殿。 而在赵千秋之后，那道人影也离开了昆吾训练营。 王冲盘膝坐在地上，一动不动。 一股股的元气如潮水般的涌动，不停的往王冲的两条手臂、肩膀，以及腰部、胯部的经络、穴位而去。 敏捷类的功法涉及到的大部分都是手臂、腰胯等部位的穴道。 而且绝大部分都是全新的经络、穴道，这些经络、穴道数量繁多，而且绝大部分还不和力量类的功法重合。 而“六臂功”之类的高级绝学，需要打量的隐蔽穴位还远比正常的敏捷类功法多的多，几乎相当于重新修练一遍，费时又费力。 而如果还选修一门“速度类”的绝学，涉及到隐蔽经络和穴道就更多了。 到时候，单单是需要打通的穴道就可能达到数百之多。 三种类型的绝学一起修练，涉及这么多的穴道，贪多嚼不烂，恐怕武学境界上，一辈子都会停滞不前了。 这也是赵千秋，乃至整个武道界并不建议在真武境之前同时修练同时三类绝学的原因。 不过王冲不一样，圣皇在天牢里赏赐的两枚丹药，王冲可是一直没吃。 庄家和池家下血本，又送自己两颗丹药，这就是四颗了。 而且，自己每月还能从六指张那里，得到几颗皇宫和王府中那群炼丹师炼制出来的特殊丹药。 正是有这种底气，王冲才敢同时选择两类，甚至三类绝学。 “六臂功”修练艰难，但威力强大，和一字连斩配合，更是能成倍的增中自身的威力。 王冲留着圣皇的丹药不吃，就是想着出狱的时候，用来修练这门“六臂功”。 “先把六臂功筑基，修练个小成，然后再吞服丹药，借助丹药的药劲，冲击双臂经络、穴道，这样就能最快把六臂功修练完成。” 王冲心中暗暗道。 在元气境，六臂功绝对是首屈一指的敏捷类绝学。 甚至就算是放在真武境，也是很强大的绝学了。 夜幕笼罩，白虎山上万籁俱静，王冲醉心在“六臂功”的修练中，丝毫不觉外界时光的流逝。 “咔！” 不知道过了多久，王冲的耳中突然听到一声脆响，就好像人踩在树枝上的声音。 “嗯？” 王冲心中一动，猛的睁开眼来。 这种夜深人静的时候，听到这种清脆的响声是很可疑的。 而且，这声音离自己住的房间还很近。 王冲仔细谛听，但是房间外静悄悄的。 王冲侧耳细听，除了自己之外，王冲还听到了一个心跳的声音，若有若无，极其悠长，这是苏寒山的声音。 王冲听了一阵，立即发现，苏寒山似乎也发现了什么，正在和自己一样侧耳细听。 砰！ 突然之间，一声巨响传来，就好像什么重物撞破了房间一样。 声音很近，似乎就在隔壁的地方。 紧接着就听到一声啊的大叫，声音惊惶，在黑暗中极其醒目。 “敬典！” 王冲浑身一震，立即微微变了脸色。 那声音不是赵敬典，却是白天那疯狂叫嚣着绝对不和苏寒山住的考生。 赵敬典和他住在一起，毫无疑问，是他那边出了什么问题。 “嗡！” 王冲身躯一纵，立即从地上弹跳而起，向着大门的方向飞纵过去。 “吼！ 说时迟，那时快，就在王冲冲到大门口的时候，突然之间，一声虎啸，夜色之中，黑影一闪，一团巨大的身影带着腥腥的山风，从门外虎扑而至。 “老虎？” 王冲大吃一惊，借着微弱的夜光，王冲隐隐看清那只是两米多长，脑袋比四个人脑袋粗，身躯比熊罴还要庞大的成年巨虎。 “轰！” 电光石火间，来不及细想，王冲右拳一震，和那巨大的虎爪重重的撞在一起。 砰，一股巨大的力量从虎爪上传来，王冲只觉手腕一疼，整个被震飞出去。 在地上一撑，王冲借着这股力量，弹跳开去，猛的拉开了距离。 而同一时间，那只巨虎虎胡一抖，四爪落地，双眼里放出微红的光芒。 微光下，王冲看得清清楚楚，那只老虎肚子干瘪，两块肚皮几乎快贴在一起。 这是一只饥肠辘辘的饿虎！” 王冲脑海中闪过一道念头，顿时微微变了脸色。 谁都知道，一只饥肠辘辘的成年饿虎绝对比正常的状态的猛虎还要凶猛，还要富有攻击性。 而刚刚的较量，也让王冲深深知道，眼前这只老虎的力量，恐怕不比自己差多少，恐怕还要强大。 而且，它的骨骼也比自己更加坚硬。 武者虽然也有“虎骨”之说，但是仅仅只是师法老虎，并不能和真正的老虎相比。 看到这两只老虎，黑暗中，另一间房间里，苏寒山也站了起来。 昆吾训练营的房间是相通的，中间根本没有东西隔开。 王冲被盯上的同时，苏寒山也同时被其他两只巨虎盯上了。 “吼！” 山林震动，一阵虎啸声从另外相邻的一间宫殿里传来，是赵敬典他们。 而同一时间，似乎受到感染，三只巨虎目光凶猛，一只直扑王冲，另外两只直扑苏寒山而去。 黑暗中，腥风阵阵，光芒一闪，小山一般的巨虎已经飞扑到王冲面前。 速度、力量、敏捷、爆发力……这一刻在王冲面前展露无疑。 在王家，王冲虽然也试过虎骨级的爆发力，可以扑过几十丈的空间，轻易扑鸟，但是和真正的猛虎相比，立即相形见绌，还有不少的差距。 一个是师法老虎，一个真正的老虎，两者高下，一辨而知。 轰，身后，王冲房间中的桌子四分五裂，那虎爪落的地上，在地板上砸出一个巨大的坑洞。 一击落空，那饥肠辘辘的巨虎一个反扑，立即朝着王冲尾随而至。 然而这时王冲已经成功摸到床边，抓住了自己修练时，因为碍事，放到床上的长剑。 一声清越的长吟，长剑出鞘，就在长剑出鞘的刹那，王冲整个气息一变，一招“一字连环斩”，速度增激，突然从巨虎爪下脱身而出，半空一折，突然连人带剑，又折射而回。 一字连环斩！ 轰！ 剑光斩落，房间里响起一声惊天动地的惨叫，王冲的长剑猛的斩入了这头饿虎的身躯。 不过，预想中的一刀两断的场面并没有出现。 长剑入体，就好像斩到一块铁板一橛，被什么东西卡住了，没能确下去。 “虎骨！” 王冲脑海中闪过一道念头。 老虎的骨骼比人类武者还要坚硬、致密，刀剑可以确入它的血肉，但却很难把它的骨头一刀两断。 王冲一剑没有砍死他，反而激发了那老虎的凶性，一只虎爪寒光闪烁，如同一座小山峰一样，向着王冲砸了过去。 那虎爪中蕴含的力量，恐怕钢铁都能拍弯，拍断。 王冲不敢对抗，连忙闪身后退，然后一把摸到了墙上的一把剑。 很多人就算看到，恐怕也不会怎么注意。 甚至送给他，都不一定会要。 但是对于王冲来说，这把剑才是自己带过来的，最厉害的宝剑。 寒光过处，血光迸贱，一颗硕大的虎头，毛茸茸的，滚落在地板上。 坚而有力的虎骨，却完全挡不住王冲一剑。 正是王冲的乌兹钢剑！
Chapter 203: Assault in the Middle of the Night! The entire hall fell completely silent. That figure above had fallen into deep thoughts as well. “So, what you mean is?” The figure above shot Zhao Qianqiu a questioning gaze. As an instructor, Zhao Qianqiu had a greater say on this subject. “Hehe, honestly, I haven’t given it much thought yet. This is all just my conjecture in the end, and this is only the first day. We’ll know what we should do as we move along.” Zhao Qianqiu said carefreely. “Haha, that’s fine as well. Indeed, this is just the first day. I’ll soon be returning to the royal palace to report events to His Majesty. His Majesty has been keeping a close watch on the Three Great Training Camps.” Zhao Qianqiu chuckled as well. Hearing Zhao Qianqiu’s words, that figure above laughed as well. He seemed to have known that Zhao Qianqiu would do this. “I understand.” Clasping his fist tightly, Zhao Qianqiu turned around and left the main hall. Shortly after Zhao Qianqiu left, that figure left Kunwu Training camp as well. … Time passed slowly. Soon, darkness had completely consumed the skies. Meditating on the floor, wave after wave of Origin Energy flowed into the meridians and acupoints in Wang Chong’s arms, shoulders, waist, and crotch. Dexterity-type secret arts focused heavily on one’s arms, waist, and crotch. There were many acupoints and meridians that had to be paved open, and what makes things worse was that most of them didn’t overlap with the pathways of strength-type secret arts. The ‘Hexad Arms Technique’ was a high-tier secret art so the number of hidden acupoints and pathways one had to open was many times greater than ordinary dexterity-type secret arts. As such, the process was fated to be lengthy and tiresome. If Wang Chong wanted to cultivate a speed-type secret art on top of that, the number of hidden meridians and acupoints he would have to open up would be even greater. By then, the total amount of acupoints to open in itself could already potentially number in the hundreds. Given the overwhelming energy and time one needed to dedicate to the cultivation of all three types of secret arts, one’s cultivation would surely be impeded, thus limiting one’s ultimate achievement in the path of martial arts. This was the reason why Zhao Qianqiu didn’t recommend cultivating all three types of secret arts before reaching True Martial realm. However, Wang Chong was different. Back then, in the imperial prison, the Sage Emperor had bestowed him with two pills. The Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan had also each generously gifted him with a single pill, thus totaling up to four. On top of that, he could claim quite a few of those unique pills crafted by the alchemists in the royal court from Six-fingered Zhang every month. It was with such great resources that Wang Chong was willing to learn two or perhaps even three types of secret arts simultaneously. The cultivation of the Hexad Arms Technique was difficult but the benefits were great. When paired with the Single Character Consecutive Slash, his fighting prowess would be multiplied several folds. In truth, the reason Wang Chong saved the pills provided by the Sage Emperor was precisely to cultivate this Hexad Arms Technique after his release. “I should at least first reach minor accomplishment in the Hexad Arms Technique first before consuming any pill. This way, I can make use of the energy within the pill to open up the meridians and acupoints in arms, thus mastering it in the shortest time possible.” Wang Chong thought. In the Origin Energy realm, the Hexad Arms technique was definitely a dexterity-type secret art that stood at the zenith. Even when put against the more powerful secret arts available in True Martial realm, it still didn’t pale in comparison. Embraced by the night, the White Tiger Peak fell completely silent. Immersed in the cultivation of the Hexad Arms Technique, Wang Chong became oblivious to the passage of time. Ka! Following an unknown period of time, Wang Chong heard a crisp echo by his ear. It seemed like someone had stepped on a tree branch. He halted his cultivation immediately. “Hm?” Perplexed, his eyes shot open. Such a crisp sound on a silent night like this was more than suspicious. On top of that, it sounded extremely close to his room. “Weird. Am I mistaken?” Wang Chong was baffled. The room was completely dark—there wasn’t a single lamp lit. Other than his own, Wang Chong could faintly hear another heartbeat. It was nearly imperceptible and exceptionally slow. It belonged to Su Hanshan. Unknowingly, he had returned to the room as well. Su Hanshan seemed to have noticed something was off as well, and he was trying to listen to the movements outside too. Peng! Suddenly, a loud explosion reverberated in the air. It seemed as though some heavy object had crashed into a room. It sounded extremely near, as if… it came from next door! Then, a loud and fearful scream echoed. It sounded exceptionally conspicuous amidst the silent night. “Jingdian!” Wang Chong’s body jolted in agitation, and his face warped slightly. That voice didn’t come from Zhao Jingdian but the person who adamantly declared that he wouldn’t share a room with Su Hanshan. But Zhao Jingdian shared a room with him, and the shout clearly meant that the duo had met with some kind of trouble. Weng! Wang Chong immediately dashed forward, headed straight for the door. Roar! Everything happened swiftly. Just as Wang Chong was about to reach the door, the roaring of a tiger suddenly shook the air. Amidst the shadows, a massive silhouette flashed. It pounced from beyond the door, bringing about a sharp mountain gale with its movement. “A tiger?” Wang Chong was taken aback. With the dim illumination from the night sky, he could vaguely make out the outline of a tiger. It was two meters long, with a head four times bigger than that of a human’s, and a physique even larger than a bear. Boom! With everything happening in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong wasn’t granted any time to think. His right fist punched forward, clashing heavily with the tiger’s claws. Peng! An immense force jolted Wang Chong back as a sharp pain assaulted his arm. Making use of the momentum, Wang Chong leaped further back, pulling some distance between him and the tiger. At the same time, the massive tiger landed on the floor. A slight crimson gleam could be seen from its eyes. Under the dim light, Wang Chong noticed that the tiger’s stomach was sunken in, and the outline of its bones could almost be seen. A starving tiger! As this thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind, his complexion darkened. It was common sense that a starving tiger would be much fiercer and aggressive than in any other state. After the previous clash, Wang Chong gauged that the strength of the tiger was above his. On top of that, its bones were much sturdier than his. Despite the concept of Tiger Bone in a human’s root bone cultivation, it only meant that the cultivation method was modeled after tigers. It didn’t really mean that one was able to compare up to a real tiger. Seeing the three tigers at the other end of the room, Su Hanshan stood up as well. While Wang Chong was marked by one of the tigers, the remaining two marked Su Hanshan. The threat that a single tiger posed was limited, but three at once meant something very different. Roar! The mountain trembled and the roar of a tiger sounded from the neighboring room—the room which belonged to Zhao Jingdian and the other fellow. As though influenced by the aggressiveness in the roar, the three massive tigers charged forward, one going for Wang Chong while the other two for Su Hanshan. An ominous wind blew through the darkness. In a flash, that massive shadow was already right before Wang Chong. Its speed, strength, dexterity, and burst power were astonishing. Back in the Wang Clan, Wang Chong had also tested the burst power of the Tiger Bone, and it had allowed him to cover a distance of several dozen zhang swiftly, a distance that was more than sufficient for him to capture a bird easily. However, compared to a real tiger, it seemed like he was still lacking. After all, how could an imitation compare up to a real tiger? Weng! Without time to think, Wang Chong immediately executed the Celestial Steps, dodging to the side. Boom! The table behind Wang Chong was smashed into smithereens as the claw of the tiger swept all the way downward, creating a huge hole in the floor. Even though its attack had fallen empty, the starving tiger immediately turned around to strike Wang Chong once more. But at this moment, Wang Chong had already reached his bed. He grabbed the sword he had left behind previously there. Klang! The crisp sound of metal reverberated in the air as the sword was drawn from its sheath. In that moment, Wang Chong’s aura changed abruptly. Executing the Single Character Consecutive Slash, his movement speed surged, allowing him to easily avoid the tiger’s assault. Halfway through his movement, he abruptly twisted along with his sword, turning back for the tiger. Single Character Consecutive Slash! Boom! As the sword swung out, a deafening cry of agony shook the room. Wang Chong’s sword had cut into the body of the starving tiger. However, the expected sight of a clean cut didn’t occur. Rather, when it sunk into the tiger’s body, it seemed to have struck a metal plate, preventing Wang Chong from pushing the sword any further. “Tiger Bone!” This thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind. The bones of a tiger were far sturdier and denser than that of a human cultivator. A sword could easily pierce into its flesh, but cutting through its bones would prove to be difficult. Failing to kill the tiger, Wang Chong further triggered its ferocity instead. A cold gleam flashed from its claws as it smashed down onto Wang Chong’s skull. Wang Chong dared not face the blow directly. He hurriedly retreated and retrieved a sword mounted on the wall. The sheath covering this sword was ordinary and inconspicuous; something that one could buy for a few copper coins outside. Most people would just disregard it upon sight. In fact, it was uncertain whether they would accept it even when offered to them. But to Wang Chong, this was the trump card that he had brought to the training camp. Klang! A cold gleam flashed past and blood splattered in the air. A tiger’s large furred-head fell to the ground and rolled away. Even the resilient and sturdy tiger bone couldn’t withstand this slash.

Why didn’t This King think of such a move. When it comes to having fun, the Infernal King is the best at it.”\nThe seven Elders looked at each other and never expected the Celestial King to have such a reaction after seeing the letter. The Grand Elder said in a heavy tone, “What does Your Majesty thinks about the life-and-death battle between the three kings?”\nThe Grand Elder pondered for a moment before he said, “To decide the outcome of a war with a fight, isn’t this too much of a child’s play? I believe that it’s best to refuse it. Furthermore, it’s a life-and-death battle. The dead will be the loser and the loser will definitely die. The Infernal King and the Transcendents’ new king are not nobodies. What if…”\nSpeechless waved his hand and said, “There are no ifs. This King will definitely be the ultimate winner. Now, the Infernal domain is hunkered down in defense, and the three sides are restrained. War can’t be continued on. It might as well be decided in a battle between kings. The Infernal King really chose a perfect time. However, it seems like the timing was planned by the Infernal domain. Tsk, the Infernal King is that clever? Alright, there is no need to discuss this matter further. It has been decided. Whatever you want to win back through the war, This King will return it through the life-and-death battle.”\nThe Grand Elder fell silent for a moment before he said in a heavy tone, “The Celestial domain and Your Majesty cannot accept the life-and-death battle. We can just treat the Infernal King as a silly clown and completely ignore him. Although the present situation of the war doesn’t have much of an advantage, the Celestial army has the absolute advantage. As long as this form of attrition continues on, we will definitely obtain final victory. Why is there a need to take the risk? The life-and-death battle is way too risky for Your Majesty and the Celestial domain.”\nThe Grand Elder frowned deeply as he hesitated for a moment. He said, “Although this shouldn’t be said, but if Your Majesty continuously refuses to acknowledge the error of his ways, then I will have to say it. With all due respect, Your Majesty is probably not the match of the Infernal King and the Transcendents’ new king! The Infernal King and the Transcendents’s new king are publicly considered the strongest warriors in the Infernal domain and Transcendence, as for Your Majesty…”\nSpeechless was stunned as he said, “Is This King not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain?”\nThe Elders looked at each other. The rumors that said that the Celestial King had suffered some agitation that made him forget many important things appeared to be true.\nThe Grand Elder gave a light cough and said, “Your Majesty, your strength…is about the standard of the third Divine General. Compared to the Infernal King and the new Transcendent king, there is logically a bit of a gap. I thought Your Majesty would flatly refuse the life-and-death battle, but I never expected Your Majesty to…appear unaware of the situation?”\nThe Grand Elder tried his best to say something uneuphemistic with the most euphemistic tone.\nSpeechless finally understood that the real Celestial King was not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain. Furthermore, his strength was only on the level of the third Divine General. There was no way to compare to the Infernal King and the new Transcendent king.\nSpeechless’ mouth suffused an enlightened but wry smile. It was no wonder the Celestial King’s position in the Celestial domain was so awkward. The seven Elders and Field Marshal Awesomo only treated him with respect on the surface because the Celestial King was not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain!\nWhy was being the Celestial King so fucking tragic?\nNot only did he have to shoulder the blame, he was also fucking not the strongest warrior?\nWhen Speechless thought of this, he nearly cursed out loud. He took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down.\nHowever, Speechless felt like he was burning in rage that he needed to vent.\nSpeechless looked at the Grand Elder and said with a heavy tone, “Who is publicly recognized as the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain?”\nThe Grand Elder pricked up his eyebrows slightly and after some hesitation, he said, “The strongest warrior publicly recognized in the Celestial domain is none other than—Field Marshal Awesomo!”\nThe corners of Speechless’s mouth suffused a sneer as he said coldly, “None of you know anything about This King’s true strength. Fine. This King needs a warm up before the life-and-death battle between the three kings anyway. So Field Marshal Awesomo is very awesome?”\nSpeechless sneered as he walked out of the meeting room. He ordered the guard outside the meeting room, “Get Field Marshal Awesomo prepare a battle arena and inform all Celestial soldiers that This King will be sparring with Field Marshal Awesomo.”\nWhen the guard heard him, he froze for a moment and was suspecting if he had heard wrongly.\nThe seven Elders in the meeting room looked at each other as a faint and derisive smile suffused across their lips.\nThe Celestial King must have lost his wits.\nWhen Speechless noticed how the guard remained motionless for a long time, he frowned and said, “What are you dazing around for? Quickly spread the news. This King can no longer wait to posture.”\nThe guard’s mouth twitched.\n“Let’s hope Field Marshal Awesomo would go slightly easy on him. Although he’s an idiot, he is still the Celestial King after all.”\nWith this thought in mind, the guard turned around and executed Speechless’s order.\n… The ‘sparring match’ of the Celestial King and Field Marshal Awesomo was scheduled in the afternoon. The Celestial army filled the entire arena.\nThe Celestial King had once sparred with the second Divine General and was ‘completely thrashed. Many people spared his feelings and classified his strength to be at the third Divine General’s level. However, it was a question if the Celestial King could really defeat the third Divine General.\nAs for Field Marshal Awesomo, he was always considered the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain. He was an existence that could completely thrash the first Divine General. To the Celestial commoners, Field Marshal Awesomo’s strength was what the Celestial King should possess, so as to be an existence that could match the Infernal King.\nAs such, not a single Celestial soldier thought well of the Celestial King in the sparring match. They could even guess at how bad the thrashing would be!\nAnd the sparring happened as they expected—it was a one-sided thrashing!\nHowever, the thrashing and the person being thrashed were completely different from what they expected. It was quite the opposite!\nThroughout the entire match, Field Marshal Awesomo was being suppressed. He was not even given a chance to breathe!\nIt was not true that Field Marshal Awesomo was not as good as the stories went. In fact, he had showcased stunning strength and destructive power, but the unfathomable Celestial King had all sorts of tactics.

The seven Elders could not even sit still as they watched with widened eyes in disbelief at their Celestial King.\nThe final outcome of the match was naturally the Celestial King coming out victorious.

The warm up process was only worth six points to him. Field Marshal Awesomo’s strength could indeed be considered the strongest in the Celestial domain, but unfortunately, to Speechless, he was still too weak.\nMu Yuesheng came up to him and with a complex look in her eyes she whispered, “I guessed that you are very strong, but I never expected you to be this strong.”\nSpeechless chuckled and said, “Silly girl. Do you think This Emperor stayed in the Psionic Mortal Realm for eight years to fool around? This Emperor’s present strength is about the same strength as the Hero King when he was in the Psionic Mortal Realm. Unfortunately, This Emperor won’t have the opportunity to fight the three kings alone.”\nMu Yuesheng smiled and said, “But you can fight two kings.”\nSpeechless shrugged and said, “It feels like something is ultimately missing.

神域，圆桌会议室。 李无语看着手里的信，忍不住笑了起来，“厉害，本王怎么没想到这一招呢，玩还是魔王会玩啊。” 七位元老面面相觑，没想到神王看完这封信是这样的反应，大元老沉声道：“神王大人对这三王生死战怎么看？” 李无语理所当然道：“当然是接了。” 大元老沉吟了片刻，说道：“一场决斗决定战争的胜负，是否有点太儿戏了？ 李无语摆手道：“没有万一，本王一定是最终的胜者。 眼下魔域龟缩防守，三方掣肘，战争也打不起来，倒不如用王对王的方式定夺胜负，这魔王选的时机也是恰到好处，不对，这个时机似乎正好是那魔王设计出来的，啧啧，这魔王竟这么聪明？ 好了，这件事不必再议，就这么定了吧，你们想从战争获得的东西，本王会在生死战上一并拿回来。” 大元老沉默了一会，沉声道：“神域和神王大人根本没必要接受这场生死战，我们完全可以将那魔王当做跳梁小丑，无视之。 虽然眼下战争并没有取得太大优势，但神域的军队实力绝对占优，只要再继续耗下去，我们必然能够获得战争的胜利，何必此时冒险？ 这场生死战没有那么简单，它影响到了三王的名声，士兵的士气和民众的民心，不能不接。” 大元老眉头深深皱了起来，犹豫了片刻，开口道：“虽然此话不当讲，但神王大人如此执迷不悟，老夫不得不说了。 恕老夫直言，神王大人恐怕真的不是魔王和超凡族新王的对手！ 李无语愕然道：“难道本王不是神域的最强者？” 众元老再次面面相觑，传闻神王似乎受了什么刺激，忘记了很多重要的事情，现在再看，似乎真是如此。 大元老轻轻咳嗽了一声，说道：“神王大人，您的实力......差不多是第三神将的水平，和魔王以及超凡族的新王，讲道理还是有一些差距的，老夫本以为您会严词拒绝这场生死战，没想到您似乎......有点搞不清楚状况？” 大元老尽量用委婉的语气说着毫不委婉的话语。 李无语这下算是听明白了，原来真正的神王在神域中并非最强者，甚至于实力只排在了第三神将的阶级，这和魔王以及超凡族的新王哪里有丝毫可比性。 李无语嘴角泛起了一丝恍然大悟的苦笑，难怪神王在神域的地位如此尴尬，七元老和那牛比元帅对他也只是流于表面的尊敬，原来神王并不是神域最强者！ 这TM当个神王怎么就这么惨？ 不仅要背各种黑锅，还TM不是最强者？ 李无语想到此处，差点破口大骂，他深呼吸了数次才慢慢平静了下来。 只不过李无语胸中憋着一口恶气，只觉得必须发泄一番才行。 李无语看向大元老，沉声道：“神域公认的最强者是谁？” 大元老微微挑眉，犹豫了一下，说道：“神域公认的最强者，那毫无争议是——牛比元帅！” 李无语嘴角泛起了一丝冷笑，冷声道：“你们对本王的真正实力简直一无所知，也罢，正好三王生死战前需要热身一下，听说牛比元帅很牛逼？” 李无语冷笑着向会议室外走去，对等候在会议室外的侍卫下令道：“让牛比元帅到决斗场准备一下，通知神域所有士兵，本王要和牛比元帅比试一下。” 那侍卫闻言，愣了半响怀疑自己有没有听错。 会议室内七元老面面相觑，嘴角泛起一丝若有若无地嘲笑。 这神王，俨然已经失了智了。 李无语见侍卫半天没动静，皱眉道：“愣着干嘛？ 快去通知，本王已经等不及要装个逼了。” 侍卫嘴角抽搐了一下。 “希望牛比元帅稍微放点水唉，虽然是个傻逼，但怎么说也是神王啊。” 侍卫如此想着，转身前去执行李无语的命令。 神王和牛比元帅的“比试”在下午如期举行，神域士兵挤满了整个决斗场。 神王曾经和第二神将切磋时被“完虐”，众人很留情面地将神王的实力分类为第三神将的级别，但神王实际上能不能打过第三神将，还是个有待考证的问题。 而牛比元帅却一直都是公认的神域最强者，是完虐第一神将的存在，在神域民众的认知当中，牛比元帅才是神王该有的实力，是至少能够和魔王抗衡的存在。 因此这场比试，没有神域士兵看好神王，它们甚至已经可以预测出这场比试的碾压程度！ 而比试的进行也果然如它们预料的一样——这是一场单方面碾压的比试！ 然而碾压和被碾压的对象却与它们想的截然不同，完全相反了过来！ 整场比试，牛比元帅都被压着打，被压得连喘息的机会都没有！ 并不能说牛比元帅名不副实，事实上它在这场决斗中依然展现出了惊人的实力和恐怖的破坏力，然而深藏不露的神王却有各种层出不穷的手段，每一次都能够轻易化解牛比元帅的攻势，并且施以反击！ “神王，太强了吧？” “神王，怎会如此强大？” “我的天，这可能是一个假的神王。” 神域的士兵们震惊得无以复加，七元老亦是根本坐不住，瞪大双眼不敢相信这是它们的神王。 比试的最终结果理所当然是神王获胜了，而且是毫发无伤地取得了胜利。 而反观牛比元帅，不但鼻青脸肿，头顶的一只牛角都被折弯了，简直狼狈到了极点。 将牛比元帅踩在脚下，宣布了自己的胜利，李无语才抬头环顾众人，冷笑道：“本王决定参加三王生死战，谁有意见？” 这一刻，哪有神域士兵敢有意见？ 七元老也都乖乖闭上了嘴巴。 轻松碾压牛比元帅的神王，想必赢下三王生死战也是易如反掌了。 李无语有些意犹未尽地走下了台，这场热身他只能给6分，这牛比元帅的实力确实当得起神域最强，但可惜，对他来说，还是弱了一些。 沐月笙迎了上来，目光微微有些复杂，轻声道：“我猜到你很强，但没想到你已经强到了这个地步。” 李无语轻笑道：“傻丫头，你以为朕在灵凡境硬生生停了八年时间，是在瞎玩啊？ 沐月笙微微一笑道：“但你可以战二王。” 李无语耸了耸肩道：“总觉得缺了点什么，也罢，既然数量没英雄王多，但朕就争取速度比他快吧。 一分钟，一分钟之内本王就能将魔王和超凡族新王的狗头拧下来。” 石小白发出三王生死战的当天，超凡族和神域先后给出了回应，皆是一个字——战！ 最后三方分别派出使者，商讨了三王生死战的时间和地点。 关于地点，经过一番讨论之后，定在了谁也没有主场优势的死寂荒地。 三方使者代表着三王的意见，而三王的意见则在时间上达成了惊人的一致共识——越快越好！ 因此三王生死战直接定在了明天的正午！
Celestial domain, round table meeting room Speechless looked at the letter in his hand and could not help but laugh. “Impressive. Why didn’t This King think of such a move. When it comes to having fun, the Infernal King is the best at it.” The seven Elders looked at each other and never expected the Celestial King to have such a reaction after seeing the letter. The Grand Elder said in a heavy tone, “What does Your Majesty thinks about the life-and-death battle between the three kings?” The Grand Elder pondered for a moment before he said, “To decide the outcome of a war with a fight, isn’t this too much of a child’s play? I believe that it’s best to refuse it. Furthermore, it’s a life-and-death battle. The dead will be the loser and the loser will definitely die. The Infernal King and the Transcendents’ new king are not nobodies. What if…” Speechless waved his hand and said, “There are no ifs. This King will definitely be the ultimate winner. Now, the Infernal domain is hunkered down in defense, and the three sides are restrained. War can’t be continued on. It might as well be decided in a battle between kings. The Infernal King really chose a perfect time. However, it seems like the timing was planned by the Infernal domain. Tsk, the Infernal King is that clever? Alright, there is no need to discuss this matter further. It has been decided. Whatever you want to win back through the war, This King will return it through the life-and-death battle.” The Grand Elder fell silent for a moment before he said in a heavy tone, “The Celestial domain and Your Majesty cannot accept the life-and-death battle. We can just treat the Infernal King as a silly clown and completely ignore him. Although the present situation of the war doesn’t have much of an advantage, the Celestial army has the absolute advantage. As long as this form of attrition continues on, we will definitely obtain final victory. Why is there a need to take the risk? The life-and-death battle is way too risky for Your Majesty and the Celestial domain.” The Grand Elder frowned deeply as he hesitated for a moment. He said, “Although this shouldn’t be said, but if Your Majesty continuously refuses to acknowledge the error of his ways, then I will have to say it. With all due respect, Your Majesty is probably not the match of the Infernal King and the Transcendents’ new king! The Infernal King and the Transcendents’s new king are publicly considered the strongest warriors in the Infernal domain and Transcendence, as for Your Majesty…” Speechless was stunned as he said, “Is This King not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain?” The Elders looked at each other. The rumors that said that the Celestial King had suffered some agitation that made him forget many important things appeared to be true. The Grand Elder gave a light cough and said, “Your Majesty, your strength…is about the standard of the third Divine General. Compared to the Infernal King and the new Transcendent king, there is logically a bit of a gap. I thought Your Majesty would flatly refuse the life-and-death battle, but I never expected Your Majesty to…appear unaware of the situation?” The Grand Elder tried his best to say something uneuphemistic with the most euphemistic tone. Speechless finally understood that the real Celestial King was not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain. Furthermore, his strength was only on the level of the third Divine General. There was no way to compare to the Infernal King and the new Transcendent king. Speechless’ mouth suffused an enlightened but wry smile. It was no wonder the Celestial King’s position in the Celestial domain was so awkward. The seven Elders and Field Marshal Awesomo only treated him with respect on the surface because the Celestial King was not the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain! Why was being the Celestial King so fucking tragic? Not only did he have to shoulder the blame, he was also fucking not the strongest warrior? When Speechless thought of this, he nearly cursed out loud. He took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down. However, Speechless felt like he was burning in rage that he needed to vent. Speechless looked at the Grand Elder and said with a heavy tone, “Who is publicly recognized as the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain?” The Grand Elder pricked up his eyebrows slightly and after some hesitation, he said, “The strongest warrior publicly recognized in the Celestial domain is none other than—Field Marshal Awesomo!” The corners of Speechless’s mouth suffused a sneer as he said coldly, “None of you know anything about This King’s true strength. Fine. This King needs a warm up before the life-and-death battle between the three kings anyway. So Field Marshal Awesomo is very awesome?” Speechless sneered as he walked out of the meeting room. He ordered the guard outside the meeting room, “Get Field Marshal Awesomo prepare a battle arena and inform all Celestial soldiers that This King will be sparring with Field Marshal Awesomo.” When the guard heard him, he froze for a moment and was suspecting if he had heard wrongly. The seven Elders in the meeting room looked at each other as a faint and derisive smile suffused across their lips. The Celestial King must have lost his wits. When Speechless noticed how the guard remained motionless for a long time, he frowned and said, “What are you dazing around for? Quickly spread the news. This King can no longer wait to posture.” The guard’s mouth twitched. “Let’s hope Field Marshal Awesomo would go slightly easy on him. Although he’s an idiot, he is still the Celestial King after all.” With this thought in mind, the guard turned around and executed Speechless’s order. … The ‘sparring match’ of the Celestial King and Field Marshal Awesomo was scheduled in the afternoon. The Celestial army filled the entire arena. The Celestial King had once sparred with the second Divine General and was ‘completely thrashed. Many people spared his feelings and classified his strength to be at the third Divine General’s level. However, it was a question if the Celestial King could really defeat the third Divine General. As for Field Marshal Awesomo, he was always considered the strongest warrior in the Celestial domain. He was an existence that could completely thrash the first Divine General. To the Celestial commoners, Field Marshal Awesomo’s strength was what the Celestial King should possess, so as to be an existence that could match the Infernal King. As such, not a single Celestial soldier thought well of the Celestial King in the sparring match. They could even guess at how bad the thrashing would be! And the sparring happened as they expected—it was a one-sided thrashing! However, the thrashing and the person being thrashed were completely different from what they expected. It was quite the opposite! Throughout the entire match, Field Marshal Awesomo was being suppressed. He was not even given a chance to breathe! It was not true that Field Marshal Awesomo was not as good as the stories went. In fact, he had showcased stunning strength and destructive power, but the unfathomable Celestial King had all sorts of tactics. He could easily nullify Field Marshal Awesomo’s attacks and launch a counterstrike! “Isn’t the Celestial King too strong?” “How is the Celestial King so strong?” “Heavens, this might be a fake Celestial King.” The Celestial soldiers were extremely shocked. The seven Elders could not even sit still as they watched with widened eyes in disbelief at their Celestial King. The final outcome of the match was naturally the Celestial King coming out victorious. Furthermore, he had clinched victory unharmed. On the contrary, Field Marshal Awesomo was not only bruised all over. Even one of his bull horns on his head had been bent. He looked extremely pathetic. As Speechless stepped on Field Marshal Awesomo, he declared his victory.

Speechless walked down the stage after having enjoyed the entire process. The warm up process was only worth six points to him. Field Marshal Awesomo’s strength could indeed be considered the strongest in the Celestial domain, but unfortunately, to Speechless, he was still too weak.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 第三百六十三章\n石姬说道。 石姬可不傻，看到程宇胸有成竹的样子，她当然知道程宇还有其它好东西，她当然要为自己争取更大的利益。\n“我能够给你提供一个比这里灵气浓郁不止千倍的修炼环境！” 程宇笑着说道。\n在程宇看来，只要石姬能够跟随他，这些资源本来就是可以为她开放的，所以无所谓石姬如何讨价还价。\n资源是死的，但是人是活的，没有足够的人才，他的这些资源就是一种巨大的浪费。\n“比这里的灵气浓郁千倍？” 石姬有些不太相信程宇，她现在好远也是到过都市走了一圈的人，对外面的情况也有了一个大概的了解。\n说到灵气，外面的灵气实在是太稀薄了，完全没法供她修炼，这也是她不愿离开这里的原因。 有这棵神奇的灵源树在，尤其听了程宇的话，把那些灵石都放回了灵源树的旁边，现在灵源树释放出来的灵气明显要稳定了不少，也已经有了上升的迹象。\n所以说这里的灵气浓郁程度绝对是外面的十倍以上，可是程宇竟然说能够为她提供一个比这里的灵气还要浓郁上千倍的地方，这话的可信度实在不高。\n“呵呵，我知道你不信，不过没关系，我现在就可以带你去见识一下！” 程宇对石姬的怀疑也没有在意。\n“现在？” 石姬惊讶的说道，通道这个地方就在这世俗之中？\n“不错，我现在就带你去，不过你不要抗拒我的意识！” 程宇说道。\n石姬点点头。\n程宇意念一动，抬手一挥，直接将石姬和兰雅卷进了山河图中。 石姬和兰雅先是一惊，只觉得眼前突然变得模糊，当再次能够看到眼前的光景时，两人顿时张大了嘴，惊的说不出话来了。\n“这……这怎么可能？ 这里难道是仙境么？”\n石姬惊讶的说道。 看到横在天空的数条巨大灵脉和晶脉，石姬虽然不认识那是什么，但是她已经感觉到其中惊人的灵气。\n怎么有这么美丽的地方？” 和石姬看到的不同，虽然天空中的灵脉也足以让她震惊，但是兰雅她更注意到这个世界异常美丽的风景。\n这简直感觉自己在画里面一样，碧水蓝天，青山起伏，花草遍地，唯一的遗憾就是没有看到动物！\n“呵呵，这里是我的法宝之中，天上的那些就是灵气的源泉灵脉和灵晶脉，有它们的存在，这里的灵气只会越来越浓郁，别说是比你那山谷多出上千倍，以后就是上万倍也不足为奇。 你应该能够想象到，在这里修炼，比你在山谷中修炼不知道要快出多少倍？”\n程宇笑着解释道。 石姬是妖兽，本体庞大，同样是从筑基中期晋升到筑基后期，但是跟人类相比，所需要吸收的灵气却是要多出数倍来。\n所以妖兽的修炼是十实不易的，动不动一个筑基期就是上千岁了。 而像修真界那些天才人物，仅仅两百岁就已经达到元婴期了，可见两者之间的差距有多大了。 “如果我答应跟随你，以后我也可以到这里来修炼吗？”\n看到这个地方，石姬已经没有任何拒绝的理由了，只要能够留在这里修炼，跟随程宇也不是一件坏事，虽然感受有些受制于人。\n“这是自然，虽然你跟随了我，我也不会天天让你去跑腿的，只是我不在的时候，或者有需要你出手的时候，我才会找你，平时你都可以在这里面修炼。” 程宇笑着说道。\n只要能够让我留在这里修炼，我愿意跟随你！” 得到程宇的肯定，石姬没有任何犹豫，这简直就是修炼的最佳所在，没有人会拒绝这样的事。\n“太好了！ 你现在就可以留在这里面，不过我需要把你的灵源树移到这里面来，你不会拒绝吧！ 灵源树在这里只会让它生长的更好！”\n当初灵源树可是帮了他不少忙，甚至救了他好几命，虽然现在他用不上了，但是它仍然是一棵难得的宝树，现在石姬也跟着自己了，他可不想到时候被别人发现了带走了就麻烦了。\n“随便你！” 石姬之前之所以对灵源树那么宝贝，就是需要它浓郁的灵气，现在有更好的地方，移进来也不是坏事，自己仍然可以照顾它。\n将灵源树移栽到山河图中以后，程宇突然想起早就在这里面安家的火羽来。\n突然一声嘹亮的鸣叫声从远处的山峰传了过来，接着　一只火红色的大鸟飞快的飞了过来。\n“这是……”石姬惊讶的看着这只火红的大鸟，对方竟然有着金丹中期？\n为什么不掉级呢？” 这也是程宇获得新生后第一次看到火羽，他原本以为火羽会像当初一样，又跌回跟他一样的境界　可是这家伙竟然还是金丹中期。\n程宇惊喜的说道，没想到还有这种事，程宇以前也没有遇到过这种事，并不知道魔宠只会跟自己掉一次级。\n“放心吧主人，有火羽在，不会让你受到伤害的。” 火羽说道。\n“呵呵，谢谢你火羽，对了，我给你找来了一个伴！” 程宇笑道，然后看着被震惊住的石姬说道，“石姬，这是我的魔宠火羽。”\n石姬不解道，对于修真界的事，石姬实在是太不了解了。\n程宇简单的解释了一下。 妖兽跟人类修士有些类似，修炼到金丹期有妖丹，可以化为人形。\n而魔兽就不一样了，从理论上来说应该是不能化作人形的，体内没有金丹和妖丹，只有魔核。 “对了，火羽，你能够化形么？”\n程宇突然问道。 在他的记忆中，魔兽好像确实是不能化形的。\n火羽也答道。\n“那吃了我的化形丹呢？” 程宇好奇的说道，然后拿出一枚化形丹交给火羽。\n火羽一嘴吞下化形丹，可是并没有出现之前石姬的情况，一点反应都没有。\n程宇有些失望的说道。 要是火羽能够化形，那火羽以后就能常常跟着他了，有个金丹中期的保镖，他还会怕昆仑么？ 跟火羽和石姬交待了一番，程宇终于带着兰雅往云海市飞去。\n深更半夜，程宇也不怕发现了，没一会便回到了自己的别墅。\n看着熟悉的一切，程宇感觉是那样的亲切，这才是自己的家。\n程宇将手机拿出来充上电，一开机把他吓了一跳，手机一直“嘀嘀嘀”的响个不停，程宇都来不及看，直接把手机放在一旁，就这样手机都足足响了半个小时才停下来。\n看着上面每个人的电话提示，短信内容，有关心，有着急，有担心，程宇突然心中涌现出一种莫名的温暖，也许这就是真正的存在感吧！\n程宇没有急着回电，应该还有很多事要先处理清楚，而且他也想给那些女人一个惊喜，还是先不打电话为好。\n就在程宇考虑今后的方向的时候，兰雅从楼上走了下来。 若隐若现的浴袍，头发上的还依稀沾着些许的水珠，白里透红的皮肤，一双水晶高跟鞋，优雅而又抚媚的走过来。\n好一副美人出浴图！\n程宇看着兰雅脸上的抚媚，心里呯呯的好像就要跳出来一样，身体犹如走火入魔一般变得十分火热。\n“你想干什么？ 我可告诉你，咱们孤男寡女，共处一室，你可别想趁机占我便宜，我是不会抗拒的！” 程宇压住心中的**，吞了吞口水说道。\n这女人实在太惹火了，再加上她的热情，他还真怕自己把持不住。\n“咯咯！ 程宇，咱们都好久没有亲热了，难道你就不想试试么？” 看到程宇明明很想却又故作矜持的模样笑着说道。\n“你可别诱惑我，我们什么时候亲热过了，顶多也就摸摸抓抓！” 程宇笑道。\n“那你想不想试试呢？” 兰雅将舌头露出来，轻轻的舔着自己的嘴唇，一脸媚意的说道。\n“这可是你自己说的！” 程宇吞了吞口水再出忍不住了，一个饿狼扑食便把兰雅扑倒在床上。\n第二天，程宇醒过来的时候，床边的美娇娘还躺在自己怀里睡的很香。 程宇就郁闷了，抱着这么一个大美人他却最后还是什么都没做。\n不是程宇不行，而是不能　。 这几个女人都没有修仙的潜质，就算有程宇的帮助，她们想要有大的成就也是十分麻烦，所以不能轻易破身，必须要等到筑基完成以后。\n所以程宇即使很难受也只好忍了！.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Chapter 363\nThen what else can you offer me? Shi Ji said. Shi Ji was not stupid. Seeing Cheng Yu's confident look, she knew that Cheng Yu had other good things to offer and that she had to fight for greater benefits.\nI can provide you with a cultivation environment that is thousands of times richer than the spiritual energy here Cheng Yu said with a smile.\nIn Cheng Yu's opinion, as long as Shi Ji could follow him, these resources could be made available to her, so he didn't care how Shi Ji bargained.\nResources were dead, but humans were alive. Without enough talented people, his resources were a huge waste.\nA thousand times richer than the spiritual energy here? Shi Ji did not quite believe Cheng Yu. She had been to the city for a walk and had a rough understanding of the situation outside.\nSpeaking of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy outside was simply too sparse. There was no way for her to cultivate. This was also the reason why she wasn't willing to leave this place. With this magical Spirit Origin Tree, she could cultivate peacefully and especially after hearing Cheng Yu's words, she put all the Spirit Stones back next to the Spirit Origin Tree. The Spirit Origin Tree was releasing much more stable Spirit Qi, and it was showing signs of it increasing.\nSo the density of spiritual energy here was definitely ten times higher than the outside, but Cheng Yu actually said that he could provide a place a thousand times denser than the spiritual energy here. This wasn't trustworthy.\nHehe, I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter, I can take you to see for yourself right now Cheng Yu also didn't care about Shi Ji's suspicions.\nNow? Shi Ji said in surprise. The passageway was located in this mortal world?\nThat's right, I'll take you there right now, but don't resist my will Cheng Yu said.\nSure Shi Ji nodded.\nWhiz! With a thought from Cheng Yu, he raised his hand and swept Shi Ji and Lan Ya into the Mountain and River Diagram. Shi Ji and Lan Ya were shocked at first. They felt that their vision had suddenly turned blurry. When they were able to see the scene in front of them once again, their mouths gaped wide open. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.\nThis... How was this possible? Could this be a fairyland? Shi Ji said in surprise.\nLooking at the huge number of spiritual and crystal meridians in the sky, even though Shi Ji didn't know what they were, she could already feel the shocking amount of spiritual energy within them.\nCheng Yu, is this really a fairyland? How can there be such a beautiful place? Although the spirit veins in the sky were enough to shock her, Lan Ya had paid more attention to the exceptionally beautiful scenery of this world.\nIt was as if she was inside a painting. The blue sky, the green mountains, the flowers and plants were all over the place. The only regret was that she did not see any animals\nHehe, this is one of my treasures, and the spirit veins in the sky are the source of spirit energy. With them here, the spirit energy will only become denser and denser, and not to mention thousands of times denser than your valley, it won't even be strange for it to be ten thousand times denser in the future. You should be able to imagine how many times faster it will be for you to cultivate here compared to cultivating in the mountain valley. Cheng Yu explained with a smile.\nShi Ji was a demonic beast. Her body was huge and had advanced from the middle Foundation Establishment stage to the late Foundation Establishment stage. However, compared to humans, she needed to absorb several times more spiritual energy.\nTherefore, it was not easy for demonic beasts to cultivate. Every single Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts would be at least thousands of years old. As for those human geniuses in the cultivation world, they had already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of two hundred. This showed how big of a gap there was between the two of them.\nIf I agree to follow you, can I also come here to train in the future? Seeing this place, Shi Ji no longer had any reason to reject it. As long as she could stay here and cultivate, it wouldn't be a bad thing to follow Cheng Yu, even though she felt that she was being controlled.\nThat's only natural. Although you're following me, I won't let you run errands every day. It's just that when I'm not around, or when I need you to help me, I will find you. You can always cultivate in here. Cheng Yu said with a smile.\nGood, As long as you let me cultivate here, I'm willing to follow you Receiving Cheng Yu's confirmation, Shi Ji did not hesitate at all. This was simply the best place for cultivation, no one would reject something like this.\nThat's great, You can stay here right now, but I need to move your Spirit Tree here, you won't refuse, right? The Spirit Origin Tree will only grow better here Cheng Yu said.\nAlthough it was now useless to him, it was still a rare treasure tree. Now that Shi Ji was with him, he didn't want to risk the chance of someone else finding it here and taking it away.\nDo whatever you want The reason why Shi Ji was so protective to the Spirit Origin tree was because she needed its rich spiritual energy. Now that she had a better place, moving in would not be a bad thing and she could still take care of it.\nOh right, I also want to introduce you to a friend, Huo Yu After transplanting the Spirit Origin Tree into the Mountain and River Diagram, Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that Huo Yu had settled down here a long time ago.\nJi Suddenly, a loud and clear bird cry could be heard coming from the distant mountain peak, followed by a large, fiery red bird that quickly flew over.\nThis is… Shi Ji looked at the fiery red bird in astonishment. It actually had a cultivation of a mid-stage Golden Core.\nHuo Yu, why are you still in the Gold Core stage? This was also the first time that Cheng Yu had seen Huo Yu after he had gained a new life. He thought that Huo Yu would fall back to the same realm as him, but this fellow was actually at the middle Gold Core stage.\nMaster, this kind of thing can only happen once. My cultivation level was too low, so it was easy for me to keep most of my cultivation. However, it will be even more difficult if I want to continue to level up. Huo Yu transmitted her thoughts to Cheng Yu.\nDon't worry, Master. With me here, you won't be harmed. Huo Yu said.\nHaha, thank you, Huo Yu. Oh right, I've found you a companion Then, he looked at the shocked Shi Ji and said, Shi Ji, this is my Magic Pet, Hou Yu.\nMagic pet? Shi Ji did not understand it at all.\nIt is different from you. It is a magical beast. You can be its companion in the future Cheng Yu gave a simple explanation.\nDemonic beasts were similar to human cultivators. When one cultivated to the Gold Core stage, they could transform into a human. But magical beasts were different. In theory, they shouldn't be able to take human form. There were no golden cores or demonic cores, only magic cores.\nThat's right, Huo Yu, can you transform? Cheng Yu suddenly asked. In his memory, magical beasts could not take human form.\nSeems not Huo Yu also replied.\nThen what if you eat my Consolidating Equipment Pill? Cheng Yu said with curiosity. He then took out a Consolidating Equipment Pill and gave it to Huo Yu.\nHuo Yu gulped down the pill, but there was no reaction from her at all.\nIt looks like you really are unable to materialize. Cheng Yu said in disappointment. If Huo Yu could take form, then Huo Yu would be able to follow him around for a long time. With a middle Gold Core stage bodyguard, how could he be afraid of Kunlun?\nAfter talking to Huo Yu and Shi Ji for a while, Cheng Yu finally took Lan Ya and flew back to Huaxia. In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu was no longer afraid of being discovered and soon returned to his villa.\nLooking at everything that was familiar to him, Cheng Yu felt a sense of familiarity. This was his home.\nCheng Yu took out his phone and charged it with electricity. The moment the phone was turned on, it startled him. His phone kept beeping. Cheng Yu didn't even have the time to look at it and directly put it to the side.\nLooking at the content of everyone's text, some were concerned, some were anxious, and some were worried. An inexplicable feeling of warmth suddenly emerged in Cheng Yu's heart. Perhaps this was the feeling of home\nCheng Yu wasn't in a hurry to call back. There should be a lot of things he needed to deal with first, and he also wanted to give those women a surprise, so it was better not to make a call first.\nWhile Cheng Yu was considering the future direction, Lan Ya walked downstairs. She wore a bathrobe was faintly discernible, and her hair still had some water droplets on it. Her skin was white and rosy, and she had a pair of crystal high heels. She walked over gracefully but also coquettishly.\nWhat a beautiful bathing diagram\nGulp, Cheng Yu looked at the flirtatious expression on Lan Ya's face. His heart pounded as if it was about to jump out. His body seemed to have gone berserk, becoming extremely fiery.\nWhat do you want? Let me tell you, we are a single man and a single woman in the same room, don't you dare take advantage of me, I won't resist Cheng Yu swallowed his saliva and said as he suppressed the lust in his heart.\nThis woman was too infuriating. Coupled with her enthusiasm, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself.\nHehe, Cheng Yu, we haven't been intimate in a long time, don't you want to try? Seeing that Cheng Yu obviously wanted to but pretended to be reserved, she said with a smile.\nDon't try to tempt me. When have we ever been intimate with each other? At most, we would only touch and scratch each other Cheng Yu smiled.\nThen do you want to try it? Lan Ya revealed her tongue, licking her lips as she spoke with an enchanting tone.\nYou said it yourself Cheng Yu swallowed his saliva and couldn't hold it in any longer. Like a hungry wolf, he pounced on her and threw her onto the bed.\nThe next day, when Cheng Yu woke up, the beautiful lady beside the bed was still sleeping soundly in his arms. Cheng Yu was depressed. Carrying such a beauty, he didn't do anything in the end.\nIt wasn't that Cheng Yu couldn't do it, it was that he shouldn’t. These women did not have the potential to cultivate. Even with Cheng Yu's help, it would be very difficult for them to achieve great things, so they could not easily breakthrough. He had to wait until their foundation was complete.\nTherefore, even if Cheng Yu was in pain, he could only endure it" } ]
第三百六十三章 石姬说道。 石姬可不傻，看到程宇胸有成竹的样子，她当然知道程宇还有其它好东西，她当然要为自己争取更大的利益。 “我能够给你提供一个比这里灵气浓郁不止千倍的修炼环境！” 程宇笑着说道。 在程宇看来，只要石姬能够跟随他，这些资源本来就是可以为她开放的，所以无所谓石姬如何讨价还价。 资源是死的，但是人是活的，没有足够的人才，他的这些资源就是一种巨大的浪费。 “比这里的灵气浓郁千倍？” 石姬有些不太相信程宇，她现在好远也是到过都市走了一圈的人，对外面的情况也有了一个大概的了解。 说到灵气，外面的灵气实在是太稀薄了，完全没法供她修炼，这也是她不愿离开这里的原因。 有这棵神奇的灵源树在，尤其听了程宇的话，把那些灵石都放回了灵源树的旁边，现在灵源树释放出来的灵气明显要稳定了不少，也已经有了上升的迹象。 所以说这里的灵气浓郁程度绝对是外面的十倍以上，可是程宇竟然说能够为她提供一个比这里的灵气还要浓郁上千倍的地方，这话的可信度实在不高。 “呵呵，我知道你不信，不过没关系，我现在就可以带你去见识一下！” 程宇对石姬的怀疑也没有在意。 “现在？” 石姬惊讶的说道，通道这个地方就在这世俗之中？ “不错，我现在就带你去，不过你不要抗拒我的意识！” 程宇说道。 石姬点点头。 程宇意念一动，抬手一挥，直接将石姬和兰雅卷进了山河图中。 石姬和兰雅先是一惊，只觉得眼前突然变得模糊，当再次能够看到眼前的光景时，两人顿时张大了嘴，惊的说不出话来了。 “这……这怎么可能？ 这里难道是仙境么？” 石姬惊讶的说道。 看到横在天空的数条巨大灵脉和晶脉，石姬虽然不认识那是什么，但是她已经感觉到其中惊人的灵气。 怎么有这么美丽的地方？” 和石姬看到的不同，虽然天空中的灵脉也足以让她震惊，但是兰雅她更注意到这个世界异常美丽的风景。 这简直感觉自己在画里面一样，碧水蓝天，青山起伏，花草遍地，唯一的遗憾就是没有看到动物！ “呵呵，这里是我的法宝之中，天上的那些就是灵气的源泉灵脉和灵晶脉，有它们的存在，这里的灵气只会越来越浓郁，别说是比你那山谷多出上千倍，以后就是上万倍也不足为奇。 你应该能够想象到，在这里修炼，比你在山谷中修炼不知道要快出多少倍？” 程宇笑着解释道。 石姬是妖兽，本体庞大，同样是从筑基中期晋升到筑基后期，但是跟人类相比，所需要吸收的灵气却是要多出数倍来。 所以妖兽的修炼是十实不易的，动不动一个筑基期就是上千岁了。 而像修真界那些天才人物，仅仅两百岁就已经达到元婴期了，可见两者之间的差距有多大了。 “如果我答应跟随你，以后我也可以到这里来修炼吗？” 看到这个地方，石姬已经没有任何拒绝的理由了，只要能够留在这里修炼，跟随程宇也不是一件坏事，虽然感受有些受制于人。 “这是自然，虽然你跟随了我，我也不会天天让你去跑腿的，只是我不在的时候，或者有需要你出手的时候，我才会找你，平时你都可以在这里面修炼。” 程宇笑着说道。 只要能够让我留在这里修炼，我愿意跟随你！” 得到程宇的肯定，石姬没有任何犹豫，这简直就是修炼的最佳所在，没有人会拒绝这样的事。 “太好了！ 你现在就可以留在这里面，不过我需要把你的灵源树移到这里面来，你不会拒绝吧！ 灵源树在这里只会让它生长的更好！” 当初灵源树可是帮了他不少忙，甚至救了他好几命，虽然现在他用不上了，但是它仍然是一棵难得的宝树，现在石姬也跟着自己了，他可不想到时候被别人发现了带走了就麻烦了。 “随便你！” 石姬之前之所以对灵源树那么宝贝，就是需要它浓郁的灵气，现在有更好的地方，移进来也不是坏事，自己仍然可以照顾它。 将灵源树移栽到山河图中以后，程宇突然想起早就在这里面安家的火羽来。 突然一声嘹亮的鸣叫声从远处的山峰传了过来，接着　一只火红色的大鸟飞快的飞了过来。 “这是……”石姬惊讶的看着这只火红的大鸟，对方竟然有着金丹中期？ 为什么不掉级呢？” 这也是程宇获得新生后第一次看到火羽，他原本以为火羽会像当初一样，又跌回跟他一样的境界　可是这家伙竟然还是金丹中期。 程宇惊喜的说道，没想到还有这种事，程宇以前也没有遇到过这种事，并不知道魔宠只会跟自己掉一次级。 “放心吧主人，有火羽在，不会让你受到伤害的。” 火羽说道。 “呵呵，谢谢你火羽，对了，我给你找来了一个伴！” 程宇笑道，然后看着被震惊住的石姬说道，“石姬，这是我的魔宠火羽。” 石姬不解道，对于修真界的事，石姬实在是太不了解了。 程宇简单的解释了一下。 妖兽跟人类修士有些类似，修炼到金丹期有妖丹，可以化为人形。 而魔兽就不一样了，从理论上来说应该是不能化作人形的，体内没有金丹和妖丹，只有魔核。 “对了，火羽，你能够化形么？” 程宇突然问道。 在他的记忆中，魔兽好像确实是不能化形的。 火羽也答道。 “那吃了我的化形丹呢？” 程宇好奇的说道，然后拿出一枚化形丹交给火羽。 火羽一嘴吞下化形丹，可是并没有出现之前石姬的情况，一点反应都没有。 程宇有些失望的说道。 要是火羽能够化形，那火羽以后就能常常跟着他了，有个金丹中期的保镖，他还会怕昆仑么？ 跟火羽和石姬交待了一番，程宇终于带着兰雅往云海市飞去。 深更半夜，程宇也不怕发现了，没一会便回到了自己的别墅。 看着熟悉的一切，程宇感觉是那样的亲切，这才是自己的家。 程宇将手机拿出来充上电，一开机把他吓了一跳，手机一直“嘀嘀嘀”的响个不停，程宇都来不及看，直接把手机放在一旁，就这样手机都足足响了半个小时才停下来。 看着上面每个人的电话提示，短信内容，有关心，有着急，有担心，程宇突然心中涌现出一种莫名的温暖，也许这就是真正的存在感吧！ 程宇没有急着回电，应该还有很多事要先处理清楚，而且他也想给那些女人一个惊喜，还是先不打电话为好。 就在程宇考虑今后的方向的时候，兰雅从楼上走了下来。 若隐若现的浴袍，头发上的还依稀沾着些许的水珠，白里透红的皮肤，一双水晶高跟鞋，优雅而又抚媚的走过来。 好一副美人出浴图！ 程宇看着兰雅脸上的抚媚，心里呯呯的好像就要跳出来一样，身体犹如走火入魔一般变得十分火热。 “你想干什么？ 我可告诉你，咱们孤男寡女，共处一室，你可别想趁机占我便宜，我是不会抗拒的！” 程宇压住心中的**，吞了吞口水说道。 这女人实在太惹火了，再加上她的热情，他还真怕自己把持不住。 “咯咯！ 程宇，咱们都好久没有亲热了，难道你就不想试试么？” 看到程宇明明很想却又故作矜持的模样笑着说道。 “你可别诱惑我，我们什么时候亲热过了，顶多也就摸摸抓抓！” 程宇笑道。 “那你想不想试试呢？” 兰雅将舌头露出来，轻轻的舔着自己的嘴唇，一脸媚意的说道。 “这可是你自己说的！” 程宇吞了吞口水再出忍不住了，一个饿狼扑食便把兰雅扑倒在床上。 第二天，程宇醒过来的时候，床边的美娇娘还躺在自己怀里睡的很香。 程宇就郁闷了，抱着这么一个大美人他却最后还是什么都没做。 不是程宇不行，而是不能　。 这几个女人都没有修仙的潜质，就算有程宇的帮助，她们想要有大的成就也是十分麻烦，所以不能轻易破身，必须要等到筑基完成以后。 所以程宇即使很难受也只好忍了！
Chapter 363 Then what else can you offer me? Shi Ji said. Shi Ji was not stupid. Seeing Cheng Yu's confident look, she knew that Cheng Yu had other good things to offer and that she had to fight for greater benefits. I can provide you with a cultivation environment that is thousands of times richer than the spiritual energy here Cheng Yu said with a smile. In Cheng Yu's opinion, as long as Shi Ji could follow him, these resources could be made available to her, so he didn't care how Shi Ji bargained. Resources were dead, but humans were alive. Without enough talented people, his resources were a huge waste. A thousand times richer than the spiritual energy here? Shi Ji did not quite believe Cheng Yu. She had been to the city for a walk and had a rough understanding of the situation outside. Speaking of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy outside was simply too sparse. There was no way for her to cultivate. This was also the reason why she wasn't willing to leave this place. With this magical Spirit Origin Tree, she could cultivate peacefully and especially after hearing Cheng Yu's words, she put all the Spirit Stones back next to the Spirit Origin Tree. The Spirit Origin Tree was releasing much more stable Spirit Qi, and it was showing signs of it increasing. So the density of spiritual energy here was definitely ten times higher than the outside, but Cheng Yu actually said that he could provide a place a thousand times denser than the spiritual energy here. This wasn't trustworthy. Hehe, I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter, I can take you to see for yourself right now Cheng Yu also didn't care about Shi Ji's suspicions. Now? Shi Ji said in surprise. The passageway was located in this mortal world? That's right, I'll take you there right now, but don't resist my will Cheng Yu said. Sure Shi Ji nodded. Whiz! With a thought from Cheng Yu, he raised his hand and swept Shi Ji and Lan Ya into the Mountain and River Diagram. Shi Ji and Lan Ya were shocked at first. They felt that their vision had suddenly turned blurry. When they were able to see the scene in front of them once again, their mouths gaped wide open. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak. This... How was this possible? Could this be a fairyland? Shi Ji said in surprise. Looking at the huge number of spiritual and crystal meridians in the sky, even though Shi Ji didn't know what they were, she could already feel the shocking amount of spiritual energy within them. Cheng Yu, is this really a fairyland? How can there be such a beautiful place? Although the spirit veins in the sky were enough to shock her, Lan Ya had paid more attention to the exceptionally beautiful scenery of this world. It was as if she was inside a painting. The blue sky, the green mountains, the flowers and plants were all over the place. The only regret was that she did not see any animals Hehe, this is one of my treasures, and the spirit veins in the sky are the source of spirit energy. With them here, the spirit energy will only become denser and denser, and not to mention thousands of times denser than your valley, it won't even be strange for it to be ten thousand times denser in the future. You should be able to imagine how many times faster it will be for you to cultivate here compared to cultivating in the mountain valley. Cheng Yu explained with a smile. Shi Ji was a demonic beast. Her body was huge and had advanced from the middle Foundation Establishment stage to the late Foundation Establishment stage. However, compared to humans, she needed to absorb several times more spiritual energy. Therefore, it was not easy for demonic beasts to cultivate. Every single Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts would be at least thousands of years old. As for those human geniuses in the cultivation world, they had already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of two hundred. This showed how big of a gap there was between the two of them. If I agree to follow you, can I also come here to train in the future? Seeing this place, Shi Ji no longer had any reason to reject it. As long as she could stay here and cultivate, it wouldn't be a bad thing to follow Cheng Yu, even though she felt that she was being controlled. That's only natural. Although you're following me, I won't let you run errands every day. It's just that when I'm not around, or when I need you to help me, I will find you. You can always cultivate in here. Cheng Yu said with a smile. Good, As long as you let me cultivate here, I'm willing to follow you Receiving Cheng Yu's confirmation, Shi Ji did not hesitate at all. This was simply the best place for cultivation, no one would reject something like this. That's great, You can stay here right now, but I need to move your Spirit Tree here, you won't refuse, right? The Spirit Origin Tree will only grow better here Cheng Yu said. Although it was now useless to him, it was still a rare treasure tree. Now that Shi Ji was with him, he didn't want to risk the chance of someone else finding it here and taking it away. Do whatever you want The reason why Shi Ji was so protective to the Spirit Origin tree was because she needed its rich spiritual energy. Now that she had a better place, moving in would not be a bad thing and she could still take care of it. Oh right, I also want to introduce you to a friend, Huo Yu After transplanting the Spirit Origin Tree into the Mountain and River Diagram, Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that Huo Yu had settled down here a long time ago. Ji Suddenly, a loud and clear bird cry could be heard coming from the distant mountain peak, followed by a large, fiery red bird that quickly flew over. This is… Shi Ji looked at the fiery red bird in astonishment. It actually had a cultivation of a mid-stage Golden Core. Huo Yu, why are you still in the Gold Core stage? This was also the first time that Cheng Yu had seen Huo Yu after he had gained a new life. He thought that Huo Yu would fall back to the same realm as him, but this fellow was actually at the middle Gold Core stage. Master, this kind of thing can only happen once.

This was his home. Cheng Yu took out his phone and charged it with electricity. The moment the phone was turned on, it startled him. His phone kept beeping.

Her skin was white and rosy, and she had a pair of crystal high heels. She walked over gracefully but also coquettishly. What a beautiful bathing diagram Gulp, Cheng Yu looked at the flirtatious expression on Lan Ya's face. His heart pounded as if it was about to jump out.

Otherwise, it would not cause Su Qian and the rest to guard it with their lives. Now, however, with the disappearance of the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’, its effect of raising one’s training speed would also gradually weaken until it disappeared. In other words, there would no longer be much meaning to the existence of the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’.\nHaving lost the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’, the system of grooming strong people that the Inner Academy was proud of might well have been broken. The subsequent results would be extremely serious.\nThe atmosphere was a little quiet in the hall. All the Elders were also helpless as they watched the despondent expression of the First Elder. Now that the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ had already been refined by Xiao Yan, they could not simply just ask him to spit it out no? It was still fine if Xiao Yan was an enemy. They could forcefully capture him and remove the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’. However, the most troublesome thing was that this fellow had done quite a big favor for the Inner Academy. If Xiao Yan had not defeated those two Dou Huangs in the great battle two years ago, it was likely that the Inner Academy would have suffered severe losses in that fight.\nXiao Yan was also somewhat embarrassed as he sensed the atmosphere in the hall. Honestly speaking, he still felt a little apologetic toward Su Qian. After all, he had had intentions toward the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ from the moment he had entered Jia Nan Academy. Although he appeared to have been a great help to the academy in that great battle, his hidden motive was to try his best to have a bigger chance of obtaining the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’.\n“First Elder, is there any other method to remedy the situation?” Xiao Yan carefully inquired. It was somewhat impossible for him to hand over the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ now that things had developed to this point. However, he also felt somewhat uneasy if he simply just watched the Inner Academy suffer such a great loss.\n“Ugh, from the looks of things now, it seems that we can only use a man-made ‘Fallen Heart Flame’. Otherwise, the effects of the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’ will disappear completely.” Su Qian was silent for a long time after hearing Xiao Yan’s words. Only then did he sigh and said helplessly.\n“A man-made ‘Fallen Heart Flame’?” Xiao Yan was startled. A ‘Heavenly Flame’ could actually be man-made?\n“Creating this thing is not considered very difficult. Back then, the headmaster left behind a back-up ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ container before he had left. As long as one pours some ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ within it, it is still able to enable the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’ to possess the effect of raising one’s training speed. However, the effect will be a little worse than before.” Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan before continuing, “This requires your help. Separate a little of the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ and hand it to us. This should not be a problem right?”\nXiao Yan quietly sigh in relief when he heard this. The ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ had already been refined by him into an essence flame seed. As long as the Dou Qi in his body was not exhausted, it would be able to create an endless amount of it for use. Separating a little of it out may exhaust his Dou Qi, but he was already extremely satisfied that there was a method which achieved the best of both worlds.\n“However, that kind of summoned ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ poses many limitations. Once my Dou Qi disappears, the flame will automatically disappear…” Xiao Yan could not help but speak with hesitation when he recalled this.\n“The container was created personally by the headmaster. You need not be concerned about this type of problem. However, this container can only attain a delaying effect. Hence, it is likely that you must periodically come to the Inner Academy to help replenish the flame of the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’...” Su Qian mused out loud.\n“Periodically returning to the Inner Academy?” Xiao Yan was a little startled as he laughed bitterly, “Is there an exact timeframe for this ‘periodically’? If I leave the Inner Academy in the future, I won’t have to return to this place once every half a month or month right?”\n“This is something that I’m not very certain. However, as long as you leave enough flame for us to store, it should not be a problem maintaining it for one to two years.” Su Qian thought for a moment before speaking.\n“That’s good…” Xiao Yan sighed and nodded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll do as First Elder recommends.”\n“Ugh, brat, you got it cheap. It is really unexpected that the thing which Han Feng failed to obtain despite putting in so much effort was easily obtained by you. Our Inner Academy has protected it with great difficulty for so many years only to benefit you, little fellow.” Su Qian rolled his eyes. His voice was somewhat sour as he spoke. He naturally understood the effect of the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ best. Xiao Yan had refined it. Therefore, his originally frightening training speed would likely soar greatly in the future. Such a temptation was extremely great to anyone.\nXiao Yan smiled awkwardly before immediately knitting his brows together. He slowly asked, “ Han Feng… is currently still in the ‘Black-Corner Region’ right?”\n“Aye.”\nSu Qian narrowed his eyes. A faint cold glint flashed past them. He firmly remembered the matter of Han Feng gathering a large group of experts to attack the Inner Academy in his heart even now.\n“Ke ke, that is even better. There are some matters that I should look for him to settle.” Xiao Yan crossed his fingers and laughed. His smile emitted threads of dense coldness. That fellow had luckily escaped back then. Now that he was able to come out from that lifeless magma area, the first thing he needed to do was naturally finish off the matter with this ‘Senior’. Otherwise, how would he account to Yao Lao who was currently in a slumber.\n“Although your strength has soared greatly. It is likely a little difficult to do so by yourself.”\nSu Qian shook his head and voiced his thoughts, “Han Feng has established a ‘Black Alliance’ in the ‘Black-Corner Region’. Quite a number of relatively strong factions have joined it. Currently, the number of strong people in the ‘Black Alliance’ are as numerous as the clouds. Even I have a never ending headache because of it. During the two years in which you were not around, the Inner Academy has gone to find trouble with those fellows a couple of times. However, most of them were blocked by the ‘Black Alliance’.”\n“Black Alliance?” Xiao Yan knit his brows. His finger gently knocked against the surface of the table. A moment later, he finally spoke, “In that case… does First Elder not want to get back at them?”\nA fierce glint flashed across Su Qian’s eyes as he spoke ferociously, “Why would I not want to? The Inner Academy’s reputation cannot worsen in my hands. Otherwise, how will I account to the headmaster when he returns in the future?”\n“Ke ke, that’s good. First Elder, you should gather some people. We will head to the ‘Black-Corner Region’ in three days!” Xiao Yan’s finger paused before he stood up and laughed.\n“Alright, since you are interested, our Inner Academy will join the fun!” Su Qian’s palm heavily slammed on the table as he also laughed out loud. Now that he had the participation of Xiao Yan, this extremely strong fellow, it was likely that they would be able to break the stalemate with the ‘Black Alliance’ during these two years.\n“I will gather all the helpers in three days. After that, it is time to completely end our conflict with the ‘Black Alliance’!”\nXiao Yan smiled and nodded.\n“However…” Su Qian appeared to have recalled something as he frowned a little. He looked at Xiao Yan and spoke, “Before this, I think that you should settle the conflict with that expert Dou Zong who has come and looked for trouble with you. Otherwise, if she comes and intervenes during that great battle… you should also be clearly aware just what kind of fighting strength a Dou Zong possesses. If she were to join the ‘Black Alliance’, we would suffer great losses even if our entire army isn’t destroyed.”\n“She will definitely not join the ‘Black Alliance’.” Xiao Yan smiled as he observed Su Qian’s stern face. He sighed, “Alright, I will settle the problem with her first.”\n“Do you need our help?” Su Qian hesitated for a moment before asking.\n“Ke ke, relax. The presence of more people will not help the problem between her and me.” Xiao Yan laughed bitterly as he cupped his hands toward Su Qian. He said, “Since I have already accounted for most of the things, I should return first.”\nSu Qian mused for a moment after seeing Xiao Yan turned around. After which, he slowly said, “I think I should tell you something.”\n“What is it?” Xiao Yan turned his head doubtfully.\n“Your second brother is in the ‘Black-Corner Region’ right?” Su Qian’s voice had just sounded when he sensed the aura all over Xiao Yan suddenly rose. A pair of old eyes which were filled with surprise were raised as he watched the young man whose face had instantly become dark and cold.\n“What has happened to my second brother?” Xiao Yan’s voice was as cold as ice and void of any emotion.\n“Currently, nothing has happened to him.” Su Qian suppressed the surprise in his heart and widened his hands. He said, “I have sent some people to quietly protect him after you had been dragged underground by the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’. He was merely quietly training for the first half of the year. However, one year later he was chased into the deep mountains by some people who were after his life. It was two months later when he next appeared. At that time, his strength had suddenly and strangely soared to the Dou Wang class. I am not certain what happened to him in the deep mountains.”\n“According to the information gathered, he has quietly established an extremely secretive organization within the ‘Black-Corner Region’. This organization currently has quite a strong reputation within the ‘Black-Corner Region’ because they purposefully pick members of the ‘Black Alliance to kill’. Moreover, they kill whoever they meet. Clearly, your second brother is taking revenge for you.”\nHowever, his expression had just calmed down when Su Qian’s subsequent words caused it to become completely dark.\n“Due to your second brother killing the members of the ‘Black Alliance’ for a long time, he has aroused the anger of the ‘Black Alliance’. According to the information I got, it seems that a few factions who are quite strong have begun encircling your second brother and his organization. It is likely that his current condition is not very good.”\nAt this moment, the face of the black-robed young man was frighteningly dark and cold. It even contained a faint savageness. The icy-cold voice of his contained an incomparable amount of killing intent.\n“Do you have my second older brother’s location?”" } ]
“大长老，天焚炼气塔中的心火的确是在逐渐减弱，按照这速度，怕是过不了多久就得完全消失了。” 一处宽敞大厅中，苏千听得一名长老的探查结果，脸庞上的表情顿时变得精彩了起来，转头望着一旁满脸讪讪笑容的萧炎，狠狠的咬了咬牙，片刻后，却是无奈的颓丧了下去，心中一阵苦笑，没想到这异火没被别人夺走，却是被这个家伙这么直接的炼化了。 天焚炼气塔的重要性，对于内院来说自然是极具份量，不然也不会令得苏千等人誓死守护，不过如今随着陨落心炎的消失，那能够提升修炼速度的效果，也是会逐渐减弱乃至消散，而如此的话，天焚炼气塔的存在也就没有了多少意义了。 而失去了天焚炼气塔，内院那引以为傲的强者培养系统，或许也就得因此而打破，那后果性，可是颇为的严重。 大厅中气氛有些许沉寂，望着大长老那颓丧神情，众位长老也是无奈，如今陨落心炎已经被萧炎炼化，总不可能再让得他吐出来吧？ 而且若萧炎是敌人倒还好，强行抓住取出陨落心炎也并非不可行，可最棘手的，是这个家伙对内院还有着不小的恩情，两年之前的那场大战，若是没有萧炎击败两名斗皇强者，怕内院就将会在那一次中，损失极其惨重。 感受着大厅中的气氛，萧炎也是有些尴尬，说实话，他心中对苏千还是抱着一些歉意的，毕竟他从一进入迦南学院开始，便是打得陨落心炎的注意，后来虽然看似是在那场大战中帮助内院了一个大忙，可隐性目的，却是在尽力让得自己获得陨落心炎的几率变大一点。 “大长老，还能有什么其他一些挽救的办法么？” 萧炎小心翼翼的问道，事到如今，如果让他交出陨落心炎，那可是有些不太可能，不过若是干看着内院因此而遭受如此重大损失，他也是有些感到不太自然。 “唉，在现在看起来，只能用人力制造一个陨落心炎了，不然的话，天焚炼气塔就彻底失去效果了。” 听着萧炎的话，苏千沉默了许久，方才轻叹了一口气，有些无奈的道。 “人造陨落心炎？” 萧炎一怔，这异火还能人造？ “制造这东西算不得多困难，当年院长大人在离开之前，留下来一个备用的陨落心炎容器，只要将一些陨落心炎灌入其中，那么便依然能够令天焚炼气塔具备提升修炼速度的效果，只不过比起以前来说，就要差一些了。” 苏千看了萧炎一眼，接着道：“这需要你的帮助，将你炼化的陨落心炎分出一些交予我们，这应该没问题吧？” 闻言，萧炎心中悄悄松了一口气，连忙点头，陨落心已经被他炼化成了本源火种，只要本身斗气不枯竭，便是能够源源不断的制造以及使用，要将之分离一些出来，虽然有些消耗斗气，不过有这种两全其美的应付方式，他对其已经极为满意了。 “不过那种召唤出来的陨落心炎有着诸多限制，一旦我掺杂在其中的斗气消散，那么火焰便是会自动消失...”突然想起一点，萧炎不由有些迟疑的道。 “那容器是院长大人亲自所造，这些问题你倒不用担心，但是这容器也只能取到延缓的作用，所以，或许以后，你要间断性的来内院，替天焚炼气塔补充火焰...”苏千沉吟道。 微微一怔，萧炎苦笑道：“这个间断性有确切的时间么？ 我日后若是离开了内院，总不能隔个半月一月就回来一趟吧？” “这个还不太确定，不过我想只要你遗留下足够的火焰让我们保存，支撑个一两年应该不是什么问题。” 苏千思索了一下，道。 “那就好...”松了一口气，萧炎笑着点了点头：“好吧，就按照大长老所说去办。” “唉，便宜你这小子了，没想到那韩枫那般费力都未得到手的东西，却是被你这么轻松的得到，我内院辛辛苦苦守护了这么多年，却是为你这个小子作了嫁衣。” 苏千翻了翻白眼，说话的声音都是略有些酸意，陨落心炎的效果如何，他自然最为清楚，萧炎将之炼化，日后，那本就恐怖的修炼速度，怕又是要暴涨许多了，这等诱惑，对于任何人来说，都是极为巨大的。 萧炎讪笑了一声，旋即眉头微皱，缓缓的道：“那韩枫...如今还是在黑角域吧？” “嗯。” 苏千眼眸虚眯，淡淡的冷芒闪掠而过，当年韩枫纠结大批强者袭击内院之事，如今他都还牢牢记在心中呢。 “呵呵，那便好，有些事，也该找他了结一下了。” 萧炎十指交叉，微笑道，笑容中，透着丝丝森寒，当年被那家伙好运逃过一劫，如今他能再次活着从那岩浆死域中出来，头一件事，自然便是要先将这位“师兄 ”的事给解决了，不然的话，如何与沉睡中的药老交代？ “虽然你现在实力大涨，可你一人，怕是有些困难。” 苏千摇了摇头，沉吟道：“韩枫在黑角域成立了一个“黑盟”，不少实力不弱的势力都加入了其中，如今“黑盟”强者云集，就连我都头疼不已，你不在的两年时间，内院出动了几次去寻找那些家伙的麻烦，不过大多都被“黑盟”挡了回来。” “黑盟？” 眉头微皱，萧炎手指轻轻敲打着桌面，片刻后，方才轻声道：“那...大长老还想找回场子么？” 眼中闪过一道凶芒，苏千恶狠狠的道：“怎么不想，内院的名声可不能在我手里变差，不然的话，日后院长回来，我如何向他交代？” “呵呵，那好，大长老先调集人手吧，三日之后，前往黑角域！” 萧炎手指一顿，站起身来，笑着道。 “好，既然你有这兴趣，那我内院也陪你玩一把！” 苏千手掌重重一拍桌面，也是颇为豪迈的大笑，如今有了萧炎这个战斗力超强的家伙加入，想必定然能够拉回这两年与“黑盟”僵持的局面。 “三天之后，我会将人手召集齐全，到时候，便是与“黑盟”彻底了解恩怨之时！” 萧炎笑着点了点头。 “不过...”似是想起了什么，苏千眉头却是微微一皱，望着萧炎，道：“在这之前，我觉得你似乎应该先把那位找你麻烦的斗宗强者间的恩怨给解决掉，不然的话，一旦到时候大战她出来插一脚......你也应该清楚一名斗宗强者拥有何等战力，她若是加入到“黑盟”去，那我们即使不全军覆没，也定会损失惨重。” “她倒是肯定不会加入“黑盟”。” 萧炎笑了笑，望着苏千那严肃的脸庞，也轻叹了一口气，道：“好吧，我先解决她的问题。” “需要我们帮忙么？” 苏千迟疑了一会，问道。 “呵呵，放心吧，我和她之间的问题靠人多是没用。” 萧炎苦笑了一声，对着苏千拱了拱手，道：“既然事情都交代得差不多了，那我也就先回去了。” “等等。” 瞧得萧炎转身，苏千沉吟了一会，缓缓的道：“我想我似乎应该告诉你一点事。” “什么？” 萧炎疑惑转头。 “你二哥萧厉是在黑角域吧？” 苏千声音刚刚落下，便是猛然感觉到面前萧炎浑身气势都是暴动了起来，当下一对老眼布满诧异的抬起头，望着那脸色瞬间阴寒的青年。 “我二哥出什么事了？” 萧炎的声音，森寒如冰，不带着丝毫的情感。 “现在还没什么事。” 苏千压下心中的惊诧，摆了摆手，道：“在你被陨落心炎拖入地底之后，我派了人去暗中保护，刚开始半年他还只是安稳的修炼，不过一年之后，他在一次猎杀中被追杀进深山，再次出现时，便已是两月之后，而那时，他的实力，已经突然极其诡异的暴涨至斗王阶别，对于他在深山中发生了什么事，我并不清楚。” “据情报所说，现在的他在黑角域暗中创建了一个颇为神秘的组织，这个组织如今即使是在黑角域有着不弱的名声，因为他们专门挑着“黑盟”的人杀，而且是见一个杀一个，很显然，你二哥是在想给你报仇。” 然而其脸色刚刚平静，苏千下面的话，却是令得他脸色彻底阴森了起来。 “而你二哥因为长久以来对“黑盟”成员的狙杀，也是引起了“黑盟”的震怒，据我情报所知，如今已经有着好几个实力不弱的势力，开始对你二哥以及他的组织实施围剿，现在他的状况，怕也不是很好。” 黑袍青年此刻的脸庞，阴寒可怕，甚至隐隐间透着一抹狰狞，冰寒的声音，透着无匹杀意。 “有我二哥的方位么？”
“First Elder, the heart flame inside the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’ is indeed being gradually reduced. At this rate, it is likely that all of it will completely disappear not long later.” The expression on Su Qian’s face became interesting after he had heard the result of an investigation by an Elder in the spacious hall. He clenched his teeth violently before becoming hopelessly depressed a moment later. His heart laughed bitterly. It was unexpected that the ‘Heavenly Flame’ was not snatched by someone else, but was actually directly refined by this fellow. The importance of the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’ toward the Inner Academy was naturally extremely great. Otherwise, it would not cause Su Qian and the rest to guard it with their lives.

He was confident that he would be able to find his fortune there, but it turned out contrary to his expectations.\nAt this point, he had arrived on top of a small hill. He revealed himself and glanced down at Chu Feng and the two oxen.\n\"Those who destroyed my treasured medicine, don’t even think about living!\" he cursed under his breath.\nHe then leapt up from the small hill and tore through the air. It was as if he was flying close to the forest’s edge and was just about to arrive at the target destination. He was about to kill his most hated enemy.\nYamen saw everything clearly since he was facing the direction from which Schiller was coming. He smiled brilliantly at Chu Feng and the rest, \"Everyone, take care on the road.\"\nHe was extremely conceited.

As such, even though Ling Chen had used the [Soulstealing Curse] to leave his mark on their minds, he was still unable to immediately leave the Rainbow Glass Barrier. As such, he could only wait another 6 or so hours until the barrier disappeared.\nHowever, if Ling Chen did not make full use of his time with the 3 naked Moon Goddesses, who would not resist him at all, then he was not a real man. Within those 6 hours, he used 3 minutes to ask the Moon Goddesses what he wanted to know, started to lay his hands on White Snow during the 4th minute, and by the 5th minute, he had sprung on top of her.\nWhen the Rainbow Glass Barrier disappeared, Ling Chen, with his incredibly tough and vigorous body, did not feel tired at all. On the other hand, the 3 Moon Goddesses’ faces were completely red, making them seem less sacred and more enchanting.\nThis world’s too wonderful… Ling Chen closed his eyes and raised his face to the sky, spreading out his arms as if he was trying to hug the sky. Now, he truly felt that he was invincible within the Mystic Moon world. Putting aside his invincible fighting power, even if he was a LV0 normal player, with the 3 Moon Goddesses protecting him, he could do anything he wanted in the Mystic Moon world.\n“The places that your ancestors created – the Novice Villages that we arrive at when we first come here – are you able to find them?” Ling Chen asked with a smile after muttering to himself. After conquering the 3 Moon Goddesses, the problem that he had been fretting about could be easily solved… the only way to return to Novice Village 49554 was for the Moon Goddesses to send him back. This was impossible before, but now, it was simpler than simple.\n“Those places were created by our ancestors, and each of them still has our Moon God Clan’s aura; it is quite simple to find their locations. Where do you want to go?” White Snow said softly, her gaze no longer filled with hostility but gentleness and infatuation.\nHearing White Snow say this, the last trace of worry in Ling Chen’s mind disappeared. “In that case, can you send me to Novice Village 49554?”\nBlue Heart immediately replied, “Of course we can; going there will be incredibly simple. But why do you want to go there? Only the weakest creatures exist there, and there’s nothing fun there.”\n“I want to go there to find something. If you can do it, just send me there,” Ling Chen said. Of course, doing this as soon as possible would be for the best.\nWhite Snow lightly nodded. “Alright, since that’s what you want, we definitely won’t refuse. In that case, do you want us to come with you? That way we’ll be able to protect you.”\n“No.” Ling Chen shook his head. “Going by myself will be enough. In this world, apart from you 3 working together, there’s essentially nothing that can threaten me anymore. That’s right… you said before that the Lunar Scourge’s Sun God Orb was destroyed by your ancestors using a special method; is that true?”\nWhite Snow and Purple Dress looked at each other, and Purple Dress expressionlessly replied, “It’s true, though we didn’t see it ourselves. However, since this was what our ancestors told us, it should be true.”\nLing Chen’s chest lightly heaved… according to what Qi Yue had said, reviving a person required 4 key ingredients. If he had the other 3 ingredients, the Lunar Scourge with only 12 God Orbs would be sufficient to revive someone. However, that person would lose all of their memories and 3 out of their 5 senses. If he was missing a Saint Orb, the effects would not be as bad, but the revived person would still lose one third of their memories and one of their senses.\nIf the Sun God Orb really had been destroyed, then the Lunar Scourge would never be complete, and even if he had all of the other ingredients and the legend about resurrection was really true, Shui Ruo would still be missing some of her memories and would lose one of her senses. If Shui Ruo was missing some memories, her life would not be complete.\n“Okay, send me to Novice Village 49554 then,” Ling Chen said lightly.\n“Alright.” The 3 Moon Goddesses simultaneously closed their eyes and locked onto Novice Village 49554 in a few moments. As they moved their hands, a holy energy covered Ling Chen before disappearing along with him.\n“Ding… you have arrived at Novice Village 49554.”\nIt was an ancient-looking village and had only a few buildings. The roofs were all made from yellowed bricks, and the main bodies of the houses were made from wood, looking quite old. The air was quite fresh and clear, and there was not a single trace of pollution. If one raised their head, they would be able to see a blue sky with scattered clouds, as well as a few birds happily flying over now and then.\nThe system announcement in Ling Chen’s ears announced that he had returned to Novice Village 49554. Ling Chen opened his eyes, looked around the familiar village, and then deeply breathed in the fresh air here. As a region separated from the rest of the continents, the air here was incredibly fresh, and this place was a heaven-like existence.\nThe only difference was that the once-bustling village that had been filled with players was now exceptionally quiet. Looking around, apart from a few buildings and a few NPCs, there was not a single player. This didn’t mean that there were no new players, but that the number of new players entering the Novice Villages had decreased as less and less new players entered the Mystic Moon world. Currently, China’s players would only be placed in the first 5000 Novice Villages, and from half a year ago, no new players had been sent to Novice Village 49554.\nThe clue that Su’Er had given him was only ‘49554’, and it most likely referred to this Novice Village. Even though it was only a Novice Village, it was fairly large, and even with Xiao Hui’s help, finding an orb in such a large area would take quite some time.\nLing Chen decided to first ask the villagers for any clues… after making up his mind, Ling Chen walked forwards, and not too long after, an elderly but well-built man appeared in his vision. Ling Chen immediately recognised him and walked over.\n“Hello, Village Chief, long time no see,” Ling Chen greeted the Village Chief as he took off his Evil God’s Mask. Even though he had not seen him for a year, he was the first player in the entire world who had left the Novice Village, so the Village Chief most likely had an impression of him and might still remember him.\n“Hello, young man… oh! Oh?” After blankly replying, the Village Chief suddenly came to his senses and stared at Ling Chen. From 6 months ago, new players had stopped being sent to Novice Village 49554, and Ling Chen was evidently not someone from the village. As such, the Village Chief was quite shocked, and he asked in surprise, “May I ask who you are? Could you be an adventurer from another world? Wait… young man, why do you seem so familiar? Have we met before?”\n“That’s right, we’ve met before. It was about a year ago,” Ling Chen said as he smiled.\n“A year ago? Oh… ah! That’s right! You’re the first adventurer to walk out of a Novice Village!” The Village Chief quickly remembered and said excitedly, “That’s right, it’s you. I remember you’re called… called… Ling Tian! That’s right, Ling Tian!”\n“It’s my honour that Village Chief still remembers me after such a long time,” Ling Chen said as he smiled.\nThe Village Chief laughed loudly, “How could I not remember you? The first adventurer to walk out of a Novice Village was actually from my Novice Village; I was quite proud about that for a long time.” Following this, a confused look appeared on his face. “I remember that it should be impossible for otherworlders to come back here after they leave for another continent, so how did you come back?”\n“Haha, I’m here to find something.” Ling Chen did not give a direct answer, and he took off the Moon God Orb from the Lunar Scourge, showing it to the Village Chief. “Village Chief, have you seen something that looks similar to this orb in the village? I’ve come back to look for this; it’s very important to me.”\n“Oh, what a pretty orb; its light has a mysteriousness that’s hard to describe,” the Village Chief exclaimed after looking at it for a while before shaking his head. “But it’s a pity that I’ve never seen a similar orb before. If I’ve seen one before, I definitely would have some impression of it.”\n“So it’s like that…” Ling Chen nodded in slight disappointment and put the Moon God Orb away. Since the Village Chief said that he had not seen it, it was most likely not in the village itself but perhaps in the wilderness region outside of it. However, if it was in the wilderness, finding it would be quite troublesome. Ling Chen did not know just how big this Novice Village was because when he had left, he had not explored the entire region.\n“Thanks for your time, Village Chief, I think the thing I’m looking for might be in the wilderness.”\n“Oh!” The Village Chief nodded. “For you to come back and look for it, it must be very important to you. May the Moon Goddesses bless you so that you find it soon. I’ll also have a look around for you.”\n“Alright, thank you Village Chief.” Ling Chen thanked the Village Chief before preparing to re-socket the Moon God Orb into the Lunar Scourge.\nAt this moment, at the northeast of the Novice Village, the door of an incredibly tattered grass hut was opened as an old man wearing ragged clothing stiffly walked out, giving off a putrid smell. Suddenly, his body paused and he quickly looked around, his dirty hair covering his face as his turbid eyes sharply fell on Ling Chen’s body, the Moon God Orb, and the Lunar Scourge." } ]

The first adventurer to walk out of a Novice Village was actually from my Novice Village; I was quite proud about that for a long time.” Following this, a confused look appeared on his face. “I remember that it should be impossible for otherworlders to come back here after they leave for another continent, so how did you come back?” “Haha, I’m here to find something.” Ling Chen did not give a direct answer, and he took off the Moon God Orb from the Lunar Scourge, showing it to the Village Chief. “Village Chief, have you seen something that looks similar to this orb in the village? I’ve come back to look for this; it’s very important to me.” “Oh, what a pretty orb; its light has a mysteriousness that’s hard to describe,” the Village Chief exclaimed after looking at it for a while before shaking his head. “But it’s a pity that I’ve never seen a similar orb before. If I’ve seen one before, I definitely would have some impression of it.” “So it’s like that…” Ling Chen nodded in slight disappointment and put the Moon God Orb away. Since the Village Chief said that he had not seen it, it was most likely not in the village itself but perhaps in the wilderness region outside of it. However, if it was in the wilderness, finding it would be quite troublesome. Ling Chen did not know just how big this Novice Village was because when he had left, he had not explored the entire region. “Thanks for your time, Village Chief, I think the thing I’m looking for might be in the wilderness.” “Oh!” The Village Chief nodded. “For you to come back and look for it, it must be very important to you. May the Moon Goddesses bless you so that you find it soon. I’ll also have a look around for you.” “Alright, thank you Village Chief.” Ling Chen thanked the Village Chief before preparing to re-socket the Moon God Orb into the Lunar Scourge. At this moment, at the northeast of the Novice Village, the door of an incredibly tattered grass hut was opened as an old man wearing ragged clothing stiffly walked out, giving off a putrid smell. Suddenly, his body paused and he quickly looked around, his dirty hair covering his face as his turbid eyes sharply fell on Ling Chen’s body, the Moon God Orb, and the Lunar Scourge.

He only smiled and said, \"You will know soon.\"\nAs she saw that he was unwilling to say, she also did not force him. She smiled, \"Since you say so, I shall await then.\"\nInside the Dharma Hall, the younger cultivators among the guests placed all their attention on the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the internal competition.\nThe results left them serious.\nBesides Huang Zhenting, Ying Luozha and the others, the overall standard of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was quite exceptional.\nAs they faced the dangerous environment and the attack of the Wuyang beasts, the disciples performed well. The more challenging the conditions were, the greater the potential and abilities of the disciples were exhibited.\nThe Successive Disciples who were defeated lost to their fellow disciples, rather than at the hands of the Wuyang beasts.\nThe younger cultivators who observed the competition could confirm the powers of the Wuyang beasts and did not underestimate them.\nMany of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators questioned themselves whether they could kill three Wuyang beasts if they were placed in such an environment.\nNot to even mention that they had to fight an opponent at the same time.\nOnce they were distracted, they would perish under the hands of the Wuyang beasts.\nThe attentions of the Aurous Core Stage cultivators were fixed on Dao Yuting. As the heavy favorite in this competition, although she was suppressed till the Foundation Establishment Stage, she managed to overcome the obstacles easily. Just like Ying Luozha, she defeated her opponent almost instantaneously. At the same time, she killed the required number of Wuyang beasts. In fact, she seemed more relaxed than Ying Luozha.\nThese Aurous Core Stage cultivators pondered in their minds. They wondered that if they were suppressed till the Foundation Establishment Stage, would they be able to survive in such an environment or could they be so relaxed?\nThey were not positive about that. Most of them shook their heads secretly.\nFor the competitions with Wasteland Valley cultivators, most of the opponents chose the same method to deal with this situation.\nIn fact, such a situation highlighted the initial concerns of Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao and the rest with regards to adding the Wuyang beasts into the competition. But because of the special circumstance with regards to the Wasteland Valley disciples, this method left Lin Feng and the rest impressed.\nSome things could be negotiated, while some things could not. In terms of principle, no leeway could be given. But between principles, some leeway could be afforded.\nTo a certain extent, the choice of these disciples was to exterminate the outsider first before dealing with their own conflict.\nBut there was a condition. Only if the Wasteland Valley disciples were involved could such a method be used.\nThere were situations where none of the two parties were from the Wasteland Valley, but they used the same method. Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng and the rest allowed them to pass, but their evaluation of these disciples were bound to be lower.\nWhile it seemed to demonstrate flexible thinking and opportunism, it was actually different.\nThe rules did not prevent them from doing this, but this defeated the purpose of the competition. It was a demonstration of a lack of intelligence.\nFor many things, if the initial condition was different, using the same method to deal with them might not be the right method.\nWith regards to practical judgment and the control of the situation, a little discrepancy could lead to vast and different outcomes. This competition was also a test of the disciples’ judgment and decisiveness.\nSuch a result only determined the ranks of those who competed today. Whereas Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan and the rest would determine the overall performance of the disciples holistically.\nIn terms of such a thinking, there was a limit to what the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the younger cultivators from the other sects could reach.\nThe younger cultivators were focused on the powers of the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.\nThe Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters were able to understand to some extent, as they observed their own disciples normally.\nFurthermore, besides watching this competition, the attentions of the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters were also caught by other things.\nThe battle arena was formed from the top level of the Dharma Hall.\nWhereas the bottom level of the Dharma Hall was also put into use. From the Small Worlds on the top level, flowing radiances formed from their spiritual energy seeped into the lower level of the Dharma Hall like ropes. After that, they converted into countless light figures.\nThese light figures were the appearances of humans. They stood without moving.\nFor those who noticed those figures, they could not help but whisper in their minds. They wondered what these figures were for.\nInside the Grand Heavens Pavilion, the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders looked at these light figures. After a while, Yan Mingyue said, \"I remembered that it was mentioned before that the top level is the battle arena whereas the bottom level is the training arena. Since it is named the training arena, I believe that these light figures help in a cultivator’s training.\"\nHer gaze flashed and she looked at Lin Feng, \"I shall make a bold guess. These light figures record the process of the competition. After this, when your disciples look back on how they performed, they can correct their mistakes?\"\nLin Feng smiled, \"It’s just a small trick. It can’t escape your sharp eyes.\"\nYan Mingyue replied, \"Master Lin, you are too humble. This is not some small trick. Come to think of it, for your disciples to watch what they did wrong and improve on it, it’s as if there’s an invisible teacher guiding them.\"\nThe other Immortal Soul Stage Elders nodded their heads. Yan Mingyue expressed what they thought.\nThe Lightning Swordmaster and the Great Barren Swordmaster looked at each other. They communicated using their mana, \"With such a convenient method, this will increase the overall standard of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. After all, everyone can benefit from this.\"\nThe polishing of one’s powers need time. To understand the brilliance of their abhijnas, control the secret beneath and increase their familiarity, all this need time as well as proper guidance. And the Dharma Hall is able to fulfil all these.\nThe Great Barren Swordmaster said, \"In the past, everyone commented that the foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is too shallow. But now it seems like they are different from the past.\"\nThe Lightning Swordmaster nodded his head, \"This is indeed the case. Just from the Dharma Hall, we can tell how prepared they have become.\"\nEveryone understood why Lin Feng instructed Shi Tianhao to open the bottom level of the Dharma Hall only during the internal competition. Whereas during the social gathering, he had to close the bottom level off.\nFor such a social gathering, if both the arenas were opened at the same time, the cultivators from the other sects would be recorded down too.\nIf their mantras and abhijnas were too deep to understand, recording them would be useless. But most of their mantras and abhijnas would be recorded down, and from there, the Celestial Sect of Wonders could benefit greatly.\nAlthough the training arena recorded Huang Zhenting, Ying Luozha and the rest, the recording would only be played after all the cultivators had left the mountain.\nAfter the first round of competition ended, only half of the Successive Disciples remained.\nThose who were eliminated returned to their resting areas to consolidate and reflect on their performance. While those who emerged victorious were given time to regain their energies. After that, the second round of competition was due to start.\nIn this round, the powers of these disciples were of another level. Except for Dao Yuting who breezed through the first round, no one was able to emerge victorious as easily as previously. Even Ying Luozha and Huang Zhenting had to break a sweat.\nThe number of Wuyang beasts increased, which increased the difficulty of the round too.\nAs the competition progressed, the elites from each faction differentiated themselves from the rest.\nAverage speaking, if the competition environment was complex, the chances of upsets were higher. But Lin Feng had always taught his disciples to adapt to different environments.\nThus, under such a situation, the hot favorites were more likely to adapt better to the complex environments. That was because they were the more outstanding ones in this aspect.\nBesides Dao Yuting, Huang Zhenting and Ying Luozha, Yan Wuwei and Ke Jing also performed well too.\nThe only pity was a young lady from the Heavenly Temple who was called Sun Xueer. Her cultivation was naturally not ordinary. She was a talent in cultivating Ice-type mantras. She was a motivated, filial and humble person. She was quite a sociable person in the sect.\nShe was originally one of the hot favorites for the last 16. But it was her misfortune as she faced Dao Yuting in the last 32. Eventually, she lost, unsurprisingly. Many of the disciples thought that this was a pity.\nInside the Grand Heavens Pavilion, Xiao Yan, Yue Hongyan and the rest shook their heads in pity. \"Sun Xueer is unlucky to meet Yuting. If she met someone else other than her, Ying Luozha and Huang Zhenting, she will have a high probability of entering the last 16 of the competition.\"\nZhu Yi smiled, \"No worries. She has benefited much from this competition too.\"\nXiao Yan laughed lightly, \"Third Junior, it seems like there are more girls than guys from those under you.\"\nWang Lin heard this and was stunned for a moment. After that, he laughed.\nUnder him, there were three disciples who managed to enter the last 16, but they were all females. Besides Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei, the remaining disciple was in the Intermediate Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They were all females, whereas everyone under Wang Lin had been eliminated.\nZhu Yi, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing and Luo Qingwu shook their heads and laughed. Li Yuanfang turned to look at them, as if he did not know why they were laughing.\n\"Lin Tong has performed well.\" Wang Lin smiled as he said.\nAs Xiao Yan heard this, he was happy, \"Ha, of course. She is my goddaughter!\"\nAt this point, inside the Dharma Hall and a particular Small World, there was a seven or eight years old girl. She was very cute and her hair was tied in a pigtail. As she looked at the ferocious Wuyang beasts, she made a clown face, \"All of you are so ugly!\"" } ]
669.今非昔比（加更，感谢书友恭喜冥王星的飘红打赏！ 对于李星扉的疑问，柳下枫避而不答，只是笑言：“很快你就会知道了。” 见他不说，李星扉也不强求，微微一笑：“既然你这么说，那我就拭目以待了。” 弘法堂内，宾客中的年轻修士们，注意力都放在比试过程中的玄门天宗真传弟子身上。 看下来的结果，让大多数人都脸色凝重。 除了黄震霆、英罗扎等令人惊艳的人才外，玄门天宗真传弟子整体水平都相当出众。 面对险恶环境和阢阳兽的围攻，众人都有不俗表现，越是条件艰苦，越能看出人的真实水平与潜力。 所有落败的真传弟子，全都是败在同门手上，没有一人是因为阢阳兽而遇险。 观礼的年轻修士们可以非常直观的确定阢阳兽的实力，不会产生任何轻视。 很多筑基期修士扪心自问，甚至不得不在心底承认，换了他们在那种适合阢阳兽发挥的险恶环境中，面对成群阢阳兽，能不能完成斩杀三头阢阳兽的任务都是个疑问。 更别说与此同时，还要和自己的对手交锋。 一个不留神，或许就要丧生在阢阳兽的爪牙之下。 金丹期修士的目光则大都放在刀玉婷身上，作为此次大比的大热门，刀玉婷修为虽然被压制到了筑基期，但仍显得游刃有余，和英罗扎一样，也在瞬间击败对手，并斩杀足够数目的阢阳兽。 看上去比英罗扎还要轻松。 这些金丹期修士都在心中思索。 把自己的修为压制到筑基期层面，又或者自己昔日筑基期时，置身这样的环境中，能否如此轻松？ 思索的结果并不乐观，大多数人都暗自摇头。 先与荒天谷弟子联手，两人合力斩杀大半阢阳兽之后。 这样的举动，其实有违林锋、石天昊师徒等人将阢阳兽添加入战局的初衷，但因为荒天谷弟子的特殊情况，所以这样的方式，反而让林锋等人看了暗暗点头。 有些事情可以商量，有些事情则不能商量，原则问题不容让步，但原则与原则之间也有轻重先后。 某种意义上来说，这些弟子的选择。 就是外敌当先时，优先解决外敌，然后再处理内部矛盾。 但这有个前提，那就是只有荒天谷弟子参加的比试，才能如此变通。 却也采取这种先联手斩杀阢阳兽。 然后才分胜负，这种情况下，林锋等人也算他们过关，可是心中的评价就要降低一等。 灵活变通和投机取巧，看似相同，其实有本质区别。 规则确实不禁止这样做，但领会不到长辈的考验意图，本身就是悟性不足的一种体现。 很多事情，当前提条件不同时，再使用相同的处理方法。 便未必是正确的。 考察是全方位，无时无刻，无处不在的，同时也是综合考量，并不单纯是斗法胜负。 斗法胜败，只决定了今天大比的名次，而综合考量，是林锋、石天昊、萧焱等人对一个弟子的全方位评判。 这样的心思，不仅仅玄门天宗参加大比的真传弟子，其他势力的年轻才俊们，能够看破的也有限。 年轻一辈的修士们，重点都在观察玄门天宗的一众真传弟子的修为神通。 修为较高的元婴期老祖们，倒多多少少能明白一些，因为他们平时也要考察自家弟子。 此外，除了观看比试以外，这些元婴老祖们的注意力还分到了别的地方。 一众玄门天宗斗法比试的会场，都是由弘法堂上层空间演化而成。 而弘法堂的下层空间也没有闲置，就见上层空间中一个个小世界，都分出一道灵气凝结成的光流，仿佛绳索一样落入下层空间，然后在昏暗的下层空间中，化作一个又一个光影。 那些光影，是一个又一个人形，在下层空间中静立不动。 注意到这些人形光影的人，不由都在心里嘀咕，不知道这些光影能起到什么作用。 诸天大殿内，一众元神大佬也都静静看着那些光影，半晌后，燕明月说道：“记得之前提过，上层是斗场，下层则是练场，既然名为‘练’，想来这些光影有辅助修练到功用。” 她目光闪动了一下，看向林锋：“明月大胆做个猜测，这些光影莫非是记录了上层斗场比试过程中，贵宗弟子的神通法术，然后加以还原，方便贵宗弟子揣摩之前施展法术时，其中的错漏之处？” 林锋微微一笑：“些许雕虫小技，瞒不过燕仙子的慧眼。” 燕明月赞叹的叹了口气：“林宗主过谦了，这可算不得雕虫小技，想来不仅仅斗场中的实战会被还原，平常贵宗弟子也可以在练场中自己修练法术神通，然后不停自我矫正，相当于有一个无形的老师时刻提点。” 其他元神大佬们也都纷纷点头，燕明月说出了他们心中所想。 霹雳剑尊和大荒剑尊对视一眼，法力传音交谈：“每个弟子都能有此便捷条件，无形中就省却许多麻烦，也大大提升玄门天宗的整体水平，毕竟这不是针对个人，而是多人同时受益。” 法术神通的磨练，同样需要时间，理解神通奥妙。 掌握其中诀窍。 大荒剑尊徐徐说道：“以前大家都说玄门天宗底蕴不足，但现在看来，玄门天宗已经今非昔比了。” 霹雳剑尊点头：“确实如此没错，单单一座弘法堂。 还没关系，但以小见大，可知其他。” 众人现在也明白了，林锋之前为什么要吩咐石天昊，只在内部大比时开启下层练场，而在同其他势力年轻才俊的交流法会时，要关闭练场。 这样的交流法会，如果练场和斗场也一起开启，那么其他势力修士的神通术法诀窍。 太过玄奥深邃的神通，或许无法破解，但绝大多数神通都会被记录破解，从而被玄门天宗获得。 同样道理，眼下练场虽然记录了黄震霆、英罗扎等人使用的法术，但下层练场中的光影凝而不发。 在第一轮比试结束之后，一半真传弟子，将被淘汰。 落败者返回静室内休整总结自己的疏漏，整理战斗中的经验收获，而胜利者则由宗门补充损耗的法力精神，在休整之后，很快开始第二轮比试。 到了这一轮，交战双方的实力整体便上了一个台阶，除了刀玉婷仍然轻松获胜外。 其他人都无法再胜得轻易，英罗扎和黄震霆等人也都要费一番手脚才能获胜。 比试场地内阢阳兽数量不断增多，也愈发提升了比试难度。 随着比试的进行，各个洞府的佼佼者，也都渐渐脱颖而出。 一般来说，比试环境复杂，会增加爆冷几率，但林锋主持下的玄门天宗，从一开始教导弟子，就要求他们尽量适应各种复杂多变的情况。 所以在这样的教育理念下，本来就是热门的强者，面对复杂环境的能力反而越强，因为他们都是在这方面足够优秀的人才。 除了刀玉婷、黄震霆和英罗扎外，焚天崖言无畏、雪风谷柯菁也都突出重围。 唯一有些可惜的是乾天殿一个名叫孙雪儿的少女，修为也自不俗，天生冰肌、冰骨、冰髓，天生的冰系道法天才，为人勤勉、孝顺、谦和，在宗门内人缘都很不错。 此女本来也是十六强的有力竞争人选，偏偏在最后三十二进十六这一轮，狭路相逢撞上了刀玉婷，结果不言而喻，只能遗憾落败，让玄门天宗许多弟子都为之惋惜。 诸天大殿内，萧焱、岳红炎等人都惋惜的摇摇头：“雪儿这孩子可惜了，不碰上玉婷、英罗扎和小黄三人，遇上其他任何人，都有很大几率可以晋级十六强。” 朱易微微一笑：“无妨，这次大比，她已经获益匪浅。” 萧焱突然轻笑一声：“说起来，倒是三师弟你门下有点阴盛阳衰啊。” 汪林闻言，稍微愣了一下后，哑然失笑。 原来，他门下弟子共有三人晋级十六强，结果竟然是一票娘子军，除了刀玉婷、李星扉以外，剩下一个筑基中期弟子，也是女性，清一色的女弟子，而他门下男徒全军覆没。 朱易、岳红炎、杨清、洛轻舞也一起摇头笑了起来，李元放则转头看他们，似乎不理解众人为何发笑。 “桐儿表现不错。” 汪林微笑着说道。 萧焱一听这话，顿时乐了：“哈，那是自然，我的干女儿嘛！” 此时弘法堂内，一个比赛场地中，站着一个七、八岁大年纪的女童，生得雪白可爱，扎着两个羊角辫，看着面前凶神恶煞的阢阳兽，做了一个鬼脸：“丑死了！” 小姑娘，正是林桐。
Chapter 669: Different from the Past Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations With regards to Li Xingfei’s question, Liu Xiafeng avoided it and didn’t answer. He only smiled and said, "You will know soon." As she saw that he was unwilling to say, she also did not force him. She smiled, "Since you say so, I shall await then." Inside the Dharma Hall, the younger cultivators among the guests placed all their attention on the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the internal competition. The results left them serious. Besides Huang Zhenting, Ying Luozha and the others, the overall standard of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was quite exceptional. As they faced the dangerous environment and the attack of the Wuyang beasts, the disciples performed well. The more challenging the conditions were, the greater the potential and abilities of the disciples were exhibited. The Successive Disciples who were defeated lost to their fellow disciples, rather than at the hands of the Wuyang beasts. The younger cultivators who observed the competition could confirm the powers of the Wuyang beasts and did not underestimate them. Many of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators questioned themselves whether they could kill three Wuyang beasts if they were placed in such an environment. Not to even mention that they had to fight an opponent at the same time. Once they were distracted, they would perish under the hands of the Wuyang beasts. The attentions of the Aurous Core Stage cultivators were fixed on Dao Yuting.

Only if the Wasteland Valley disciples were involved could such a method be used. There were situations where none of the two parties were from the Wasteland Valley, but they used the same method. Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng and the rest allowed them to pass, but their evaluation of these disciples were bound to be lower. While it seemed to demonstrate flexible thinking and opportunism, it was actually different. The rules did not prevent them from doing this, but this defeated the purpose of the competition. It was a demonstration of a lack of intelligence. For many things, if the initial condition was different, using the same method to deal with them might not be the right method. With regards to practical judgment and the control of the situation, a little discrepancy could lead to vast and different outcomes. This competition was also a test of the disciples’ judgment and decisiveness. Such a result only determined the ranks of those who competed today. Whereas Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan and the rest would determine the overall performance of the disciples holistically. In terms of such a thinking, there was a limit to what the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the younger cultivators from the other sects could reach. The younger cultivators were focused on the powers of the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. The Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters were able to understand to some extent, as they observed their own disciples normally. Furthermore, besides watching this competition, the attentions of the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters were also caught by other things. The battle arena was formed from the top level of the Dharma Hall. Whereas the bottom level of the Dharma Hall was also put into use. From the Small Worlds on the top level, flowing radiances formed from their spiritual energy seeped into the lower level of the Dharma Hall like ropes. After that, they converted into countless light figures. These light figures were the appearances of humans. They stood without moving. For those who noticed those figures, they could not help but whisper in their minds. They wondered what these figures were for. Inside the Grand Heavens Pavilion, the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders looked at these light figures. After a while, Yan Mingyue said, "I remembered that it was mentioned before that the top level is the battle arena whereas the bottom level is the training arena. Since it is named the training arena, I believe that these light figures help in a cultivator’s training." Her gaze flashed and she looked at Lin Feng, "I shall make a bold guess. These light figures record the process of the competition. After this, when your disciples look back on how they performed, they can correct their mistakes?" Lin Feng smiled, "It’s just a small trick. It can’t escape your sharp eyes." Yan Mingyue replied, "Master Lin, you are too humble. This is not some small trick. Come to think of it, for your disciples to watch what they did wrong and improve on it, it’s as if there’s an invisible teacher guiding them." The other Immortal Soul Stage Elders nodded their heads. Yan Mingyue expressed what they thought. The Lightning Swordmaster and the Great Barren Swordmaster looked at each other. They communicated using their mana, "With such a convenient method, this will increase the overall standard of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. After all, everyone can benefit from this." The polishing of one’s powers need time. To understand the brilliance of their abhijnas, control the secret beneath and increase their familiarity, all this need time as well as proper guidance. And the Dharma Hall is able to fulfil all these. The Great Barren Swordmaster said, "In the past, everyone commented that the foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is too shallow. But now it seems like they are different from the past." The Lightning Swordmaster nodded his head, "This is indeed the case. Just from the Dharma Hall, we can tell how prepared they have become." Everyone understood why Lin Feng instructed Shi Tianhao to open the bottom level of the Dharma Hall only during the internal competition. Whereas during the social gathering, he had to close the bottom level off. For such a social gathering, if both the arenas were opened at the same time, the cultivators from the other sects would be recorded down too. If their mantras and abhijnas were too deep to understand, recording them would be useless. But most of their mantras and abhijnas would be recorded down, and from there, the Celestial Sect of Wonders could benefit greatly. Although the training arena recorded Huang Zhenting, Ying Luozha and the rest, the recording would only be played after all the cultivators had left the mountain. After the first round of competition ended, only half of the Successive Disciples remained. Those who were eliminated returned to their resting areas to consolidate and reflect on their performance. While those who emerged victorious were given time to regain their energies. After that, the second round of competition was due to start. In this round, the powers of these disciples were of another level. Except for Dao Yuting who breezed through the first round, no one was able to emerge victorious as easily as previously. Even Ying Luozha and Huang Zhenting had to break a sweat. The number of Wuyang beasts increased, which increased the difficulty of the round too. As the competition progressed, the elites from each faction differentiated themselves from the rest. Average speaking, if the competition environment was complex, the chances of upsets were higher. But Lin Feng had always taught his disciples to adapt to different environments. Thus, under such a situation, the hot favorites were more likely to adapt better to the complex environments. That was because they were the more outstanding ones in this aspect. Besides Dao Yuting, Huang Zhenting and Ying Luozha, Yan Wuwei and Ke Jing also performed well too. The only pity was a young lady from the Heavenly Temple who was called Sun Xueer. Her cultivation was naturally not ordinary. She was a talent in cultivating Ice-type mantras. She was a motivated, filial and humble person. She was quite a sociable person in the sect. She was originally one of the hot favorites for the last 16. But it was her misfortune as she faced Dao Yuting in the last 32. Eventually, she lost, unsurprisingly. Many of the disciples thought that this was a pity. Inside the Grand Heavens Pavilion, Xiao Yan, Yue Hongyan and the rest shook their heads in pity. "Sun Xueer is unlucky to meet Yuting. If she met someone else other than her, Ying Luozha and Huang Zhenting, she will have a high probability of entering the last 16 of the competition." Zhu Yi smiled, "No worries. She has benefited much from this competition too." Xiao Yan laughed lightly, "Third Junior, it seems like there are more girls than guys from those under you." Wang Lin heard this and was stunned for a moment. After that, he laughed. Under him, there were three disciples who managed to enter the last 16, but they were all females. Besides Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei, the remaining disciple was in the Intermediate Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They were all females, whereas everyone under Wang Lin had been eliminated. Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing and Luo Qingwu shook their heads and laughed. Li Yuanfang turned to look at them, as if he did not know why they were laughing. "Lin Tong has performed well." Wang Lin smiled as he said. As Xiao Yan heard this, he was happy, "Ha, of course. She is my goddaughter!" At this point, inside the Dharma Hall and a particular Small World, there was a seven or eight years old girl. She was very cute and her hair was tied in a pigtail. As she looked at the ferocious Wuyang beasts, she made a clown face, "All of you are so ugly!"

Naturally this needed a reconfirmation of his identity.\nYe Qingyu silently floated in the air, waiting for eventual development of the situation.\nVery quickly, a formation airship broke through the air, flying from far away. The person at the lead had a long blade at his waist. It was an expert with a burly and muscular figure. If it was not Liu Zongyuan , then who was it?\n“Brother Ye, you’ve really returned?” Liu Zongyuan shouted from far away.\nThe people who were familiar with this officer that was normally like a boulder could not help but be surprised after witnessing this scene. How was it that this fellow who spoke so little, would suddenly become so animated? They had never heard before of any sort of relationship between the boulder Liu Zongyuan and the sword patrolling envoy Ye Qingyu.\n“Officer Liu, we meet again.” Ye Qingyu had a faint smile.\n“So it was really you. Haha, this is good, this is too good. I through you had already…..to be able to come back alive, this is too good.” Liu Zongyuan could hardly contain his excited mood, repeating the words ‘too good’ three times. Excitedly he patted Ye Qingyu on the shoulders, saying: “If Mister Liu knows of this matter, he will definitely be overcome with joy. So will Xinger…..Also, that rash fellow Wen Wan. That fellow is still furious with me until now…….”\nLiu Zongyuan was really overjoyed.\nIn these days, he did not know how to face Wen Wan.\nEvery time he saw the gaze of Wen Wan that wanted to kill someone, Liu Zongyuan felt both guilty and regretful. He resented the fact that it was not he himself who had stayed behind.\nWith Liu Zongyuan appearing, the process to confirm Ye Qingyu’s identity was completed very quickly. The formation airships from all around began to be dispersed, disappearing in the clouds far off. The military officer who had held the bow at the start, clasped his hands in apology and ordered the soldiers under his command to activate the formation airship and depart. Liu Zongyuan brought Ye Qingyu along, and flew towards the inner area of Youyan Pass.\n“Let’s first go see Mister Liu and retract the announcement of your death. Haha, did you know, everyone thought you had already died in the hands of Yan Buhui. For you, Mister Liu personally went in search of Lord Lu Zhaoge and requested for the conferment of a title and reward for you. In these days, the documents of the imperial military department has been passed down already. They have bestowed upon you a fourth class righteous heroic Marquis* as your title………” Liu Zongyuan endlessly jabbered on.\nEven the soldiers under his command were surprised.\nThe fact that patrolling envoy Ye had returned had caused their leading officer’s mood to really turn for the better. In the past half a year he did not say much, but in this hour, he had completely filled this period with unending speech.\n“What? Fourth class righteous heroic military marquis? I’ve been given a title of duke?“ This was completely out of his expectations.\nThe position of marquis, was it not obtained far too easily?\nThe titles of the empire could largely be divided into people who had inherited titles of feudality and ministers who had provided outstanding service. The former were people who possessed the bloodline of the imperial family, or perhaps they were nobles who had inherited a title of feudality. The latter were ministers who were bestowed upon titles through their outstanding contributions. Both of these cases were split into classes of ‘King’, ‘Grand’, ‘Great’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Marquis’, going from high to low. And every classification was split into first class, second class, three class and fourth class. The classifications were extremely strict, and the distinction between positions were utterly clear. The status of the nobles of the empire were divided very clearly.\nInherited feudal titles were very easily obtained, but the conditions for a title gained through outstanding service were extremely strict.\nSince the Empire had been founded a hundred years ago, the number of people who had obtained a title would absolutely not exceed five hundred. And as for those people who managed to obtain titles because of their bloodline and inheritance, there were near ten thousand people.\nA fourth class marquis, although it was the lowest class of the classifications amongst the Empire’s nobility, but Ye Qingyu had only enrolled in the army for less than half a year. For a young person without any sort of background, this could be counted as ascending to heaven in one step. From a commoner to a noble, Ye Qingyu used three months of time to finish walking the path other people would walk for their entire life.\nAfter hearing of his title, Ye Qingyu was not overjoyed, but instead bewildered.\nThis matter, was far too out of the ordinary.\nLiu Zongyuan immediately began laughing uproariously. “That’s right, in the document Mister Liu passed on, he did his utmost to describe the situation. he greatly complimented you on the fact that you risked yourself to protect those maps, sacrificing yourself and allowing us to return. Such bravery and loyalness, is something that every soldier should learn from. Even Lord Lu kept praising brother Ye you endlessly. Afterwards through discussions with the military of the Empire, they decided to bestow a title to you. We only knew once the documents of conferment were passed down. The leaders of the military was really generous this time round. To directly bestowing you a title of Marquis, haha, brother Ye, congratulations!”\nYe Qingyu only bitterly smiled.\nThis time the bestowing of the title, was a bestowal given for the bereaved.。\nIn other words, they gave him a title because they thought he was a dead person. Such a title, would it still be effective if he came back alive?\nThis time, most likely the military had caused a great joke to be born.\nIn the blink of an eye, the airship directly entered into the pass, entering into the city of Youyan Pass.\nThe two switched their vehicles, heading straight for the Pass Lord’s residence.\nWhen they reached the gates of the outer courtyard of the Pass Lord’s residence, Xinger had already been waiting at the entrance for quite a while.\nThe words were supposed to be positive, but the way he said it was not that pleasing to the ears.\nAre you complimenting me or are you insulting me.\n“There’s a strange odour on your body.” Ye Qingyu sniffed. “It seems to be the fragrance of petals, are you recently learning flower arrangement or the like?”\n“Ai, your nose is sensitive. Are you a dog!” Xinger chattered in front of them, leading the way. He turned his head back, insulting Ye Qingyu.\n“Woof woof!” Little Nine barked in dissatisfaction, indicating that they should not casually insult dogs.\nXinger instantly began laughing loudly.\nLiu Zongyuan also shut his mouth.\nYe Qingyu’s sudden appearance, caused the shadows in their hearts in this period of time to be completely swept away. Their mood were unprecedentedly high.\nVery quickly, they came to the front of the military council pavilion.\nLiu Zongyuan slapped Ye qingyu on the shoulder: “Fine, brother Ye, I’ll take you to here. What follows after, Mister Liu will discuss with you…….When you have time, come to the Vanguard to find me to drink. A brother like you, I Liu Zongyuan, will definitely make.”\n“As you say.” Ye Qingyu replied with a laugh.\nFor such a righteous and silent military officer like Liu Zongyuan, Ye Qingyu had a very good impression of.\nLiu Zongyuan left with a large smile.\nXinger brought Ye Qingyu within the military council pavilion.\nSecond floor.\nPushing the door and entering into the room.\nThe Mister Liu in front of the table, was currently lifting his brush and painting. He wore a white robe, elegant and graceful.\n“You’ve come, Sit, Marquis Ye.”\nHe pointed to the roughly woven prayer mat in front of him.\nThe [Painting Saint] was the only person who saw Ye Qingyu, and still remained as calm as he was on their first meeting.\nYe Qingyu could not laugh or cry at this title, ‘Marquis Ye’. After sitting down, he quickly asked: “Mister Liu, just what is this? The bestowal of this title by the military, is it not a bit too rash?”\nAn hour later.\nYe Qingyu left the Pass Lord’s residence.\nWalking in the familiar streets, he watched the people coming and going. The atmosphere of the world, made him feel especially close to such a place after being away for over a month.\nEating something from the stands by the street, he headed towards White Horse tower.\nNot returning for a month, just how was Bai Yuanxing and Mother Wu doing.\nYe Qingyu right now did not want to think about anything, he only wanted to go home to wash and sleep.\nWhite Horse tower could be seen vaguely off in the distance.\nThe crowd in front become more and more clustered.\n“En? There seems to be something that has happened? Why is there so many people next to the White Horse tower?” Ye Qingyu suddenly discovered, in the surroundings of White Horse tower, there really was quite a significant number of people gathered. The outside of the tower was completely jam packed. Vaguely, there was the sound of crying emitting, and also screams and shouts.\nYe Qingyu rushed forward, pushing through the crowd.\nHe could hear a cry, emitting from the centre——- “Master Bai, you must right this injustice. My man really did not steal the soldiers’ pay. These silver are the wages Master Bai gave us. Master Bai, you can definitely prove this to them…….” This voice was extremely terrified, somewhat crying. But Ye Qingyu could very quickly determine, if she was not the servant that he had hired, Mother Wu who else could it be?\nWhat exactly was going on?\nHe pushed towards the front of the crowd, not showing himself, remaining silent and observing.\nHe could see at the entrance of White Horse tower, Mother Wu was on the ground. Tears filled her face in bitter pain, her hands tightly clenching the leg of the sword slave Bai Yuanxing. She was currently bitterly begging.\nFrom the cries of Mother Wu, this half dead man, should be her husband.\nThere was rage on Bai Yuanxing’s face. “How could you go around arresting people without determining right or wrong? This silver I really did give to Mother Wu, you’ve arrested the wrong people……”\n“Arrested the wrong people?” The leading solder had a cold smile. “These silver has the imprint of the military supply department. Evidently it is the soldier’s pay that we have allocated to the Vanguard. To have appeared in the hands of such lowly people.” He used his whip to point at the man being dragged on the ground. Casually he flicked his whip, but the senseless man did not even let out a grunt. Another whip scar appeared on his body. Mother Wu let out a howl of pain, falling on the body of this man wanting to block the strike of the whip. Immediately she was kicked rolling away by an armoured soldier. The armoured soldier laughingly said: “For the soldier’s pay that has not been yet been distributed to land in her hands. If she did not steal it, just where did it come from?“\n“You…..you haven’t even made things clear, how could you be so merciless?” Bai Yuanxing was both shocked and angry. “These are silver I’ve obtained from the military supply department today, and I instantly paid the wages to Mother Wu . There are records that you can check, you guys….”\n“Records we can check?” The armoured soldier grunted, and coldly sneered. “The military supply department has not distributed any silver today. I have to ask you, just where did you obtain the silver? My superior was namely about to go investigate to where the lost soldiers’ pay were, who would have thought you would stand out of your own initiative. So a sword slave like you, was the lead conspirator. Very well, since you have admitted by yourself, that these silver is given by you to this mad shrew, then obediently follow me to explain yourself!“\nBai Yuanxing was taken aback, then instantly realised. A scheme.\nHe had fallen into their trap." } ]
怎么这群人，竟然将我当做是敌人一样。 叶青羽纳闷。 叶青羽明白了。 原来刘先生等人，未曾等到自己，还以为自己已经死了。 看这样子，幽燕军方似乎也已经公开宣告了吧。 没想到自己却又活着回来，自然就需要一番重新确认了。 叶青羽静静地漂浮在虚空中，等待下文。 很快一艘符文飞艇划破长空，远远地飞来，为首一位腰悬长刀、身形魁梧的强者，不是柳宗元又是谁？ “叶兄弟，真的是你回来了？” 柳宗元老远就大喝了起来。 熟悉这位磐石将军的人，见此一幕，未免有些诧异，心道怎么这个寡言少语的家伙，突然变得这么激昂，以前未曾听说过，磐石柳宗元和巡营执剑使叶青羽之间，有什么交情啊。 “柳将军，我们又见面了。” 叶青羽微笑。 “果然是你，哈哈，太好了，太好了呀，我还以为你已经……你能活着回来，真的是太好了。” 柳宗元是真的高兴啊。 他这些日子，都不知道该怎么面对温晚。 每次看到温晚那如同要杀人一般的眼神，柳宗元就又是内疚又是悔恨，当初留下来的为什么不是自己。 有柳宗元出马，身份确认程序很快就完成，四周布放的符文飞艇都散去，消失在远处的云朵之中，最开始弯弓射箭的那位游击将军，也是拱拱手道歉，率领麾下士兵驱动符文飞艇离开了，柳宗元则带着叶青羽，朝着幽燕关关内飞驰而去。 “先去见刘先生，让他把你的死亡宣告消了，哈哈，你知道吗，大家都以为你已经死于燕不回之手，刘先生为了你，亲自去找陆朝歌大人，上书军部要求封赏，前几天，帝国-军部的封文刚刚下来，追封你为四等正气英武侯……”柳宗元滔滔不绝地道。 就连他麾下的士兵们，都有些惊讶了。 叶巡营回来，咱家将军是真的心情大好啊，以前半年都说不了这么多的话，现在不到半个时辰，就滔滔不绝地全部都说完了。 四等正气英武候？ 封我为侯爷了？” 叶青羽大感意外。 这个侯爷爵位，来的也太轻松了吧？ 帝国的爵位，大致分为宗室爵位和功臣爵位，前者为因皇室血脉、或者是一些贵族地位世袭罔替而得爵位，后者则是有功之臣因功绩而封赏，两种爵位都是分为王、公、侯三个高低品秩，而每一品秩又分为一等、二等、三等和四等共四个等级，序列森严，地位高低极为清晰，组成了帝国贵族地位最直接的划分。 宗室爵位一般得来轻松，而功臣爵位的封赏条件，则非常苛刻。 帝国开朝近百年，因为功绩而得到爵位的人，不超过五百之数，而因为血脉和世袭罔替获得宗室爵位的人，则已经近万。 四等侯爵，虽然算是帝国贵族体系之中，地位最低的一个阶层，但对于叶青羽这样参军不过半年，有没有显赫身份背.景的年轻人来说，却已经算是一步登天了，从贫民到贵族，叶青羽用三个月的时间，走完了其他人或许要用一生才能走过的路。 骤然听到自己被封侯，叶青羽不是高兴，而是感到诧异。 这件事情，太过反常了。 柳宗元却是哈哈大笑，道：“是啊，刘先生在上书之中，力竭陈述了当时的经过，大赞你为了珍密地图，不惜以身犯险，舍身取义，才能让我们安全回来，这等忠勇慷慨之精神，值得每一个军人學习，就连关主陆大人，也曾对叶兄弟你赞不绝口，后来帝国-军部商议，定下了封赏，等到封书下达，我们才知道，军部的那些大佬们，这一次真的是大方，直接将你封侯了，哈哈，叶兄弟，恭喜你呀！” 叶青羽却是苦笑。 这次封赏，乃是追封。 也就是说，将自己当做死人来追封，这样的封赏，当自己活着回来的时候，还有效果吗？ 这一次，只怕是军部闹了一个大笑话呀。 转眼之间，飞艇直接入关，进入到了幽燕城之中。 两人换了坐骑，一路赶往关主府。 等到了关主府外院大门的时候，杏儿已经在门口等了半天了。 显然是早就收到了消息了。 话是个好话，但是听着怎么就这么不顺耳呢。 你这是在夸我还是在骂我呀。 “你身上有一股奇怪的味道哎。” 叶青羽嗅了嗅：“好像是花香，最近在练习插花吗？” “哟，鼻子还挺灵，你属狗的呀！” 杏儿美滋滋地在前面带路，回头过来骂了一句。 呆狗小九很不满意地叫了两声，表示请不要随便骂狗。 杏儿哈哈大笑了起来。 柳宗元也捂嘴。 叶青羽的突然出现，让两个人这段时间以来心中的阴郁一扫而空，心情前所未有地高兴。 很快来到了内元军机阁跟前。 柳宗元拍了拍叶青羽的肩膀，道：“好啦，叶兄弟，我就送你到这儿，接下来的事情，刘先生会和你说……等到回头有时间，来前锋营找我喝酒，你这个兄弟，我柳宗元认定了。” “一言为定。” 叶青羽笑着道。 对于柳宗元这个沉默正直的游击将军，叶青羽也是大有好感。 柳宗元大笑着离去。 杏儿带着叶青羽进入军机阁。 二层。 推开房间门。 书桌面前的刘先生，正在提笔作画，一身白袍，飘飘出尘。 “你来了，坐，叶侯爷。” 他指了指对面的亚麻蒲团。 【画圣】是唯一一个见到叶青羽之后，依旧淡然如初的人。 叶青羽被这一声‘叶侯爷’弄得哭笑不得，坐下之后，连忙问道：“刘先生，到底怎么回事？ 军部这次封侯，有些草率吧？” 半个时辰之后。 叶青羽走出了关主府。 走在熟悉的街道上，看着人来人往，尘世的气息，让与世隔绝了一个多月的他，倍感亲切。 在路边摊上吃了一些小吃，这才朝着白马塔走去。 一个月未曾回去了，也不知道白远行和吴妈怎么样了。 叶青羽现在什么都不想，就想回去好好洗个澡睡一觉。 一炷香时间之后。 白马塔遥遥在望。 前面的人流变得变得密集了起来。 怎么白马塔旁边，围了这么多的人？” 叶青羽突然发现，在白马塔的周围，竟然是围了不少人，里里外外水泄不通，隐约之中，还传出来什么哭声，还有一些大喝咒骂之声。 怎么回事？ 叶青羽心中一动，挤开人群，钻了进去。 “白大人，你可要一定为我做主啊，我男人真的没有偷饷银啊，那银子是白大人您发给我的工钱啊，白大人，您可一定要给我证明啊……”这声音惶恐至极，带着哭腔，但叶青羽很快就听出来，不正是自己雇佣的那个婢女吴妈的声音吗？ 这闹的是那一出啊？ 他挤到人群最前面，没有现身，静观其变。 就看白马塔的门口，吴妈趴在地上，泪流满面地痛苦，双手紧紧地抓住了白马剑奴白远行的腿，正在苦苦地哀求。 从刚才吴妈的哭腔来看，这个半死不活的汉子，应该就是她的男人。 白远行脸上带着愤怒，道：“你们怎么不问青红皂白就乱抓人？ “抓错人？” 带队的甲士冷笑，道：“银子上刻着辎重部的印章，分明是我辎重部准备下发给前锋营的军饷，居然到了这种下贱之人的手中，”他用鞭子指了指那被倒拖着的汉子，扬手又抽了一鞭子，昏死中的汉子一声不吭，身上又多了一道鞭痕，吴妈哀嚎一声，趴到汉子身上想要挡住鞭子，却被那甲士一脚踢了个筋斗踢开，甲士又笑着道：“还未发出的饷银，到了他手中，不是偷的，是哪里来的？” “你……事情还没有弄清楚，你怎么又大人？” “有账可查？” 甲士呸了一声，扬鞭冷笑了起来：“辎重部今天一天都没有拨出过饷银，我倒是要问你一句，你从哪里领的银子？ 呵呵，我家大人正要查丢失军饷的下落呢，没想到你主动站了出来，原来你这个剑奴，才是主谋啊，好的很，既然你自己主动承认了，那银子是你给这泼妇的，那就乖乖跟我回去，做个交代吧！” 白远行一怔，然后瞬间明白了什么。 圈套。
Why was this crowd of people treating him like the enemy? Ye Qingyu was somewhat bewildered. Ye Qingyu understood. So Mister Liu and the others, seeing that he had not returned, thought he had already died. From the current situation, it seemed like the military of Youyan Pass had already made a public announcement. Who would have thought that he would return alive. Naturally this needed a reconfirmation of his identity. Ye Qingyu silently floated in the air, waiting for eventual development of the situation. Very quickly, a formation airship broke through the air, flying from far away. The person at the lead had a long blade at his waist. It was an expert with a burly and muscular figure. If it was not Liu Zongyuan , then who was it? “Brother Ye, you’ve really returned?” Liu Zongyuan shouted from far away. The people who were familiar with this officer that was normally like a boulder could not help but be surprised after witnessing this scene. How was it that this fellow who spoke so little, would suddenly become so animated? They had never heard before of any sort of relationship between the boulder Liu Zongyuan and the sword patrolling envoy Ye Qingyu. “Officer Liu, we meet again.” Ye Qingyu had a faint smile. “So it was really you. Haha, this is good, this is too good. I through you had already…..to be able to come back alive, this is too good.” Liu Zongyuan could hardly contain his excited mood, repeating the words ‘too good’ three times. Excitedly he patted Ye Qingyu on the shoulders, saying: “If Mister Liu knows of this matter, he will definitely be overcome with joy. So will Xinger…..Also, that rash fellow Wen Wan. That fellow is still furious with me until now…….” Liu Zongyuan was really overjoyed. In these days, he did not know how to face Wen Wan. Every time he saw the gaze of Wen Wan that wanted to kill someone, Liu Zongyuan felt both guilty and regretful. He resented the fact that it was not he himself who had stayed behind. With Liu Zongyuan appearing, the process to confirm Ye Qingyu’s identity was completed very quickly. The formation airships from all around began to be dispersed, disappearing in the clouds far off. The military officer who had held the bow at the start, clasped his hands in apology and ordered the soldiers under his command to activate the formation airship and depart. Liu Zongyuan brought Ye Qingyu along, and flew towards the inner area of Youyan Pass. “Let’s first go see Mister Liu and retract the announcement of your death. Haha, did you know, everyone thought you had already died in the hands of Yan Buhui. For you, Mister Liu personally went in search of Lord Lu Zhaoge and requested for the conferment of a title and reward for you. In these days, the documents of the imperial military department has been passed down already. They have bestowed upon you a fourth class righteous heroic Marquis* as your title………” Liu Zongyuan endlessly jabbered on. Even the soldiers under his command were surprised. The fact that patrolling envoy Ye had returned had caused their leading officer’s mood to really turn for the better. In the past half a year he did not say much, but in this hour, he had completely filled this period with unending speech. “What? Fourth class righteous heroic military marquis? I’ve been given a title of duke?“ This was completely out of his expectations. The position of marquis, was it not obtained far too easily? The titles of the empire could largely be divided into people who had inherited titles of feudality and ministers who had provided outstanding service. The former were people who possessed the bloodline of the imperial family, or perhaps they were nobles who had inherited a title of feudality. The latter were ministers who were bestowed upon titles through their outstanding contributions. Both of these cases were split into classes of ‘King’, ‘Grand’, ‘Great’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Marquis’, going from high to low. And every classification was split into first class, second class, three class and fourth class. The classifications were extremely strict, and the distinction between positions were utterly clear. The status of the nobles of the empire were divided very clearly. Inherited feudal titles were very easily obtained, but the conditions for a title gained through outstanding service were extremely strict. Since the Empire had been founded a hundred years ago, the number of people who had obtained a title would absolutely not exceed five hundred. And as for those people who managed to obtain titles because of their bloodline and inheritance, there were near ten thousand people. A fourth class marquis, although it was the lowest class of the classifications amongst the Empire’s nobility, but Ye Qingyu had only enrolled in the army for less than half a year. For a young person without any sort of background, this could be counted as ascending to heaven in one step. From a commoner to a noble, Ye Qingyu used three months of time to finish walking the path other people would walk for their entire life. After hearing of his title, Ye Qingyu was not overjoyed, but instead bewildered. This matter, was far too out of the ordinary. Liu Zongyuan immediately began laughing uproariously. “That’s right, in the document Mister Liu passed on, he did his utmost to describe the situation. he greatly complimented you on the fact that you risked yourself to protect those maps, sacrificing yourself and allowing us to return. Such bravery and loyalness, is something that every soldier should learn from. Even Lord Lu kept praising brother Ye you endlessly. Afterwards through discussions with the military of the Empire, they decided to bestow a title to you. We only knew once the documents of conferment were passed down. The leaders of the military was really generous this time round. To directly bestowing you a title of Marquis, haha, brother Ye, congratulations!” Ye Qingyu only bitterly smiled. This time the bestowing of the title, was a bestowal given for the bereaved.。 In other words, they gave him a title because they thought he was a dead person. Such a title, would it still be effective if he came back alive? This time, most likely the military had caused a great joke to be born. In the blink of an eye, the airship directly entered into the pass, entering into the city of Youyan Pass. The two switched their vehicles, heading straight for the Pass Lord’s residence. When they reached the gates of the outer courtyard of the Pass Lord’s residence, Xinger had already been waiting at the entrance for quite a while. The words were supposed to be positive, but the way he said it was not that pleasing to the ears. Are you complimenting me or are you insulting me. “There’s a strange odour on your body.” Ye Qingyu sniffed. “It seems to be the fragrance of petals, are you recently learning flower arrangement or the like?” “Ai, your nose is sensitive. Are you a dog!” Xinger chattered in front of them, leading the way. He turned his head back, insulting Ye Qingyu. “Woof woof!” Little Nine barked in dissatisfaction, indicating that they should not casually insult dogs. Xinger instantly began laughing loudly. Liu Zongyuan also shut his mouth. Ye Qingyu’s sudden appearance, caused the shadows in their hearts in this period of time to be completely swept away. Their mood were unprecedentedly high. Very quickly, they came to the front of the military council pavilion. Liu Zongyuan slapped Ye qingyu on the shoulder: “Fine, brother Ye, I’ll take you to here. What follows after, Mister Liu will discuss with you…….When you have time, come to the Vanguard to find me to drink. A brother like you, I Liu Zongyuan, will definitely make.” “As you say.” Ye Qingyu replied with a laugh. For such a righteous and silent military officer like Liu Zongyuan, Ye Qingyu had a very good impression of. Liu Zongyuan left with a large smile. Xinger brought Ye Qingyu within the military council pavilion. Second floor. Pushing the door and entering into the room. The Mister Liu in front of the table, was currently lifting his brush and painting. He wore a white robe, elegant and graceful. “You’ve come, Sit, Marquis Ye.” He pointed to the roughly woven prayer mat in front of him. The [Painting Saint] was the only person who saw Ye Qingyu, and still remained as calm as he was on their first meeting. Ye Qingyu could not laugh or cry at this title, ‘Marquis Ye’. After sitting down, he quickly asked: “Mister Liu, just what is this? The bestowal of this title by the military, is it not a bit too rash?” An hour later. Ye Qingyu left the Pass Lord’s residence. Walking in the familiar streets, he watched the people coming and going. The atmosphere of the world, made him feel especially close to such a place after being away for over a month. Eating something from the stands by the street, he headed towards White Horse tower. Not returning for a month, just how was Bai Yuanxing and Mother Wu doing. Ye Qingyu right now did not want to think about anything, he only wanted to go home to wash and sleep. White Horse tower could be seen vaguely off in the distance. The crowd in front become more and more clustered. “En? There seems to be something that has happened? Why is there so many people next to the White Horse tower?” Ye Qingyu suddenly discovered, in the surroundings of White Horse tower, there really was quite a significant number of people gathered. The outside of the tower was completely jam packed. Vaguely, there was the sound of crying emitting, and also screams and shouts. Ye Qingyu rushed forward, pushing through the crowd. He could hear a cry, emitting from the centre——- “Master Bai, you must right this injustice. My man really did not steal the soldiers’ pay. These silver are the wages Master Bai gave us. Master Bai, you can definitely prove this to them…….” This voice was extremely terrified, somewhat crying. But Ye Qingyu could very quickly determine, if she was not the servant that he had hired, Mother Wu who else could it be? What exactly was going on? He pushed towards the front of the crowd, not showing himself, remaining silent and observing. He could see at the entrance of White Horse tower, Mother Wu was on the ground. Tears filled her face in bitter pain, her hands tightly clenching the leg of the sword slave Bai Yuanxing. She was currently bitterly begging. From the cries of Mother Wu, this half dead man, should be her husband. There was rage on Bai Yuanxing’s face. “How could you go around arresting people without determining right or wrong? This silver I really did give to Mother Wu, you’ve arrested the wrong people……” “Arrested the wrong people?” The leading solder had a cold smile. “These silver has the imprint of the military supply department. Evidently it is the soldier’s pay that we have allocated to the Vanguard. To have appeared in the hands of such lowly people.” He used his whip to point at the man being dragged on the ground. Casually he flicked his whip, but the senseless man did not even let out a grunt. Another whip scar appeared on his body. Mother Wu let out a howl of pain, falling on the body of this man wanting to block the strike of the whip. Immediately she was kicked rolling away by an armoured soldier. The armoured soldier laughingly said: “For the soldier’s pay that has not been yet been distributed to land in her hands. If she did not steal it, just where did it come from?“ “You…..you haven’t even made things clear, how could you be so merciless?” Bai Yuanxing was both shocked and angry. “These are silver I’ve obtained from the military supply department today, and I instantly paid the wages to Mother Wu . There are records that you can check, you guys….” “Records we can check?” The armoured soldier grunted, and coldly sneered. “The military supply department has not distributed any silver today. I have to ask you, just where did you obtain the silver? My superior was namely about to go investigate to where the lost soldiers’ pay were, who would have thought you would stand out of your own initiative. So a sword slave like you, was the lead conspirator. Very well, since you have admitted by yourself, that these silver is given by you to this mad shrew, then obediently follow me to explain yourself!“ Bai Yuanxing was taken aback, then instantly realised. A scheme. He had fallen into their trap.

They didn’t expect Lu Li to coldly suggest the Nightmare Difficulty for the next Instance Dungeon.\nIt wasn’t that they didn’t believe they could do it, but that they thought it wasn’t necessary.\nWhat had just happened? They had just got the First Clear!\nWhen the First Clear was announced, the whole world fell silent, but Ruling Sword began to celebrate.\nThis kind of recognition wasn’t something that most members of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had experienced before. After all, they couldn’t just go around flattering each other.\nIn order to achieve the First Clear, they had selected the Elite Difficulty. Even then, they already had to fight really hard for it, so why would they pick the Nightmare Difficulty now?\n\"Hah, if you want to do the Nightmare difficulty, then let’s do it. There’s nothing to be afraid of.\" Azure Sea Breeze, the one who did the most complaining, was the surprisingly the first to respond, \"Glory Capital started the Scarlet Cemetery last night, but we’ve managed pull ahead of them. It doesn’t matter what star players they have, because to the rest of the world, we are the best of the best.\"\n\"Ha, Ha,\" Wandering sarcastically quipped.\nEventually, the decision to do it in Nightmare Difficulty was unanimously decided upon. Although everyone had their own reservations, no one wanted to oppose Lu Li’s decision.\nLu Li was the core of their team and the undisputed leader. Even players as proud as Wandering, Moonlight and Lonesome Flower never questioned him.\n\"The library is heavily guarded but I know some secrets about the Scarlet Monastery which can save us a lot of effort,\" Lu Li said, which comforted everyone. He wasn’t crazy – he wouldn’t have chosen it if it was impossible.\nThere were only two official Bosses in the Scarlet Library, but it was really two and a half bosses.\nThe first was Lington, Training Officer Lington. He was the half-Boss, and an officer that served the Scarlet Crusade, training their soldiers to fight and shoot.\nHe trained the Scarlet Crusade’s archers and basically controlled them in the palm of his hand.\nThe strength of this officer was quite ordinary, but he controlled two teams of twenty archers which had burst power that could only be described as overpowered. Among the level 30 Elites, you wouldn’t be able to find another group that had an attack strength as powerful as theirs.\nAny player who took an attack from all of them at once was guaranteed to be killed.\nLu Li confidently believed that no one would be able to solve this puzzle for a while, which was why he had the courage to pick the Nightmare Difficulty.\n\"Lu Li that’s gross. What is that thing?\" Azure Sea Breeze asked.\nHe saw Lu Li picking something that didn’t look particularly appealing. Everyone else also started to move away from him.\n\"Everyone collect some; it’s just dog food. Throw it at the hound when you see it,\" Lu Li said calmly and carefully put the collected dog food into his bag.\n\"It’s so smelly; can I not take it? I’m just a child,\" Hachi Chan wrinkled her nose in disgust.\n\"Blergh.\" The little girl had already vomited.\n\"Alright, stop fussing. This item is really important – our ability to complete this Instance Dungeon depends on it,\" Lu Li said seriously.\nOnce they heard him say that, they obediently collected this so-called dog food.\nIn reality, this dog food had been mixed with some corpses, which was why it smelled so bad. Most people would avoid it entirely, let alone even think that it was necessary to defeat Dog Trainer Roxi.\nDog Trainer Roxi was the second Boss; this item was required for the future.\nThe first mob that they encountered was some kind of watchman, who had brought four hungry hunting dogs with him. It was said that you should keep your hunting dogs a little hungry so that they feel compelled to run.\n\"Dreamy, you go first. Throw a bag of dog food onto the ground and quickly hide,\" Lu Li commanded.\nThis was a simple task. Remnant Dream obediently threw the bag of dog food the moment she heard the instruction to do so. She felt uncomfortable holding such an unpleasant thing in her bag.\nAll the other players watched from a distance as the watchman and hunting dogs approached it.\nThe watchman walked past it without noticing the dog food, and he didn’t notice that his dogs had stopped to eat the dog food either. This was a recipe for disaster – the crazed dogs pounced onto him and the watchman had no power to stop them.\nThe dogs then fell asleep after they had killed the watchman.\n\"Hachi, on the next wave, you can throw yours.\" Lu Li was relieved as they passed the sleeping dogs and continued to press ahead.\n\"The watchman only had 2000 HP and the dogs had 1000 HP each. Couldn’t we just kill them? Why are we going through all this trouble?\" Wandering asked, confused as to what Lu Li was doing.\nHowever, knowing Lu Li, there had to be some legitimate reason and it wasn’t just some trivial matter.\n\"You’ll know soon enough,\" Lu Li replied cryptically, brushing aside the question.\nAlong the rest of the path, there was always the same kind of mob – a watchman and his four hunting dogs.\nThe ten players threw the food each time, resulting in a total of 10 dead watchmen and 40 sleeping dogs.\n\"Will these dogs help us fight the Boss?\" Wandering felt that something was up as an amazing idea suddenly formed in his mind that he couldn’t help but blurt out.\nWhat kind of joke was that? Simply throwing some food on the ground would cause these dogs to betray their owner?\n\"This dog food was a product of a failed experiment. The side effects were too great, so they were abandoned by the Scarlet Crusade,\" Lu Li casually explained. He knew nothing about the scientific principles or biological theories behind it.\nThey had just arrived at a courtyard which was filled with Armor-clad Archers as far as the eye could see.\nLu Li didn’t directly provoke the Training Officer Lington. Doing such a thing would be guaranteeing his own death.\nHe brought the party to some rooms beside the courtyard first. Some of them were empty, while others were filled with level 30 elite monsters.\nAfter clearing a few rooms, Lu Li found the item he was looking for.\nIt was a grass shield interwoven with vines, and was as tall as a person in addition to being a meter wide. Although it was a grass shield, it was still quite hard to lift.\n\"I know that this will be used to deal with the archers.\" Azure Sea Breeze was indeed a master of shields and immediately knew what Lu Li wanted to do.\nWhen there were these many archers, the medium-sized shield that a Main Tank usually carried was not enough. Only this kind of full-bodied shield could provide effective protection. As for why they couldn’t use a large iron shield, those kinds of shields were installed onto chariots for a reason – no one could lift them up.\n\"That’s right, but one shield isn’t enough. We have to keep looking,\" Lu Li nodded.\nAfter clearing another dozen rooms, they had found four shields. There were probably more, but Lu Li thought that it was enough and that they didn’t need to waste any more time.\nThey stood in the courtyard and Azure Sea Breeze lifted his grass shield as the others hid behind him.\nNaturally, Lington quickly discovered them. He laughed coldly before shouting, \"You intruders will know death! You have no idea what you’re about to face! Archers, fire!\"" } ]
第376章 又要噩梦？ 蔚蓝海风等人有点无语，傻愣愣的看着陆离。 刚才他们还在讨论首杀奖励，炫耀自己被系统奖励的东西有多好，谁也没预料陆离冷不丁的就要下噩梦难度。 他们不是不相信自己的队伍打不过去，而是觉得没必要。 是首杀重于一切的时期！ 当首杀的世界播报亮起，整个世界陷入沉寂，而裁决之剑公会里却一片欢腾。 这种被认可的感觉真心好，至少欣欣佣兵团的几个以前是没机会体验的，十个人的佣兵团，总不能互相吹捧吧。 精英本就可以参与首杀竞争，打困难程度就已经很逆天，为什么要选择噩梦难度？ 陆离这家伙该不会自我膨胀过度，现在已经狂妄自大了吧。 “哈哈，噩梦就噩梦，有什么好怕的，”反倒是最经常抱怨的蔚蓝海风率先开口，“荣耀之都昨天就开始开荒血色墓地，居然还让我们领先，什么游戏传奇、明星赛手，在大爷眼中，全特马插标卖首之辈。” “呵呵，”飘零对他一脸蔑视。 不过，噩梦难度的倡议倒是全票通过了，大家哪怕心里有点意见，但至少都不会反对陆离的决定。 陆离是他们的核心，是这个队伍绝对的领袖，这一地位就连高傲如飘零、月光、花底离情都从来没有质疑过。 “图书馆重兵把守，确实不好对付，不过我知道一些关于血色修道院的秘密，可以帮助我们省掉很多功夫，”陆离安慰大家，他又不是疯了，不会选择一个不可能完成的难度。 血色图书馆有两个BOSS，也可以说两个半。 第一个面对的是林顿，训练官林顿，就是那所谓的半个BOSS，他是职业军人，服务于血色十字军，帮助他们训练出色的战士和射手。 血色十字军中的十字军弓箭手，基本上都出自此人的手笔。 此人实力比较一般，不过手底下那两队二十个弓箭手可谓是牛叉到爆，至少三十级的精英里面，你再也找不到攻击比他们更高的了。 这样的一个团队，一旦集体放箭，任何玩家在他们面前都是一盘菜。 陆离绝对不相信有人能够在短时间破解这个难题，这也是他有底气选择噩梦难度的原因。 “陆离你真恶心，那是什么东西，”蔚蓝海风问。 看到陆离小心翼翼的采集了一些脏兮兮的东西，看上去很像一坨那啥，其他人全都离他远远地。 “大家都收集一些，这是加了料的狗粮，等下见到猎犬就对着猎犬扔，”陆离很淡定，小心翼翼将采集到的狗粮放进背包里。 “好难闻，可不可以不要啊，人家还是个孩子，”小八酱皱着小鼻子，一脸的厌弃。 “呕，”小女生已经吐了。 “好了，都别闹，这东西真的很重要，我们能不能轻松过噩梦，就靠它了，”陆离本着脸，严肃的说道。 其他人一听他这么说，只能乖乖地采集了这些所谓的狗粮。 其实这些狗粮里掺杂了天灾尸体，难闻是很正常的事情，一般人都避着走，谁又能想到它可以用来对付驯狗者洛克希呢。 驯狗者洛克希是第二个BOSS，陆离这是未雨绸缪。 遇见的第一种怪是警戒看守者，他带了四只饥饿的猎狗。 据说猎狗这东西你不能让它们吃太饱，太饱就不会干活了。 “梦梦，你先来，把包里的狗粮扔到这波怪必经之路上，扔好之后就躲起来，”陆离指挥道。 这很简单，残梦很听话的将狗粮扔了出去，她早就想这么干了，一想起背包里有那么难闻的东西，心里就不舒服。 所有的人都躲在远处观察，看着警戒看守者和猎狗走过来。 看守者走在前面，并没有发现地上有狗粮，也没有发现猎狗已经停下来吃掉了狗粮，这注定了他的悲剧，当四只饥饿而又疯狂的猎狗从身后扑过来，这个血色十字军斥候毫无还手之力的挂掉了。 猎狗们击杀了警戒者之后，倒地就睡。 “下一波，八酱轮到你扔了，”陆离松了口气，绕过那些沉睡的猎狗继续前进。 “警戒者才两千多点血，猎狗甚至才一千多，这些怪随随便便就杀了吧，为什么要这么麻烦呢？” 飘零问道，他实在是想不明白陆离这么做的用意。 然而可以确定的是，陆离这样做必然有深意，不会是无聊没事干。 “等会你们就知道了，”陆离卖了个关子。 路上当然不止一波小怪，血色警戒看守者加四只饥饿的猎狗，全都是这样的组合。 十个人挨个的扔狗粮，一共扔了十次有四十只狗杀掉了警戒者之后陷入沉睡。 “这些狗等一下会帮我们打BOSS？” 飘零越打越觉着不对，一个惊人的念头突然在他脑子里形成，忍不住脱口而出。 开什么玩笑，扔点狗粮就能让别人家的够背叛主人？ “这种狗粮属于试验失败的产物，副作用很大，血色十字军将它们遗弃了，”陆离随口解释了一句，至于其中所包含的科学原理或者生物学理论他是一窍不通。 来到一个院子，目光所及之处，一个身穿血色战甲的头领正在教导小弟们射箭。 陆离没有去直接挑衅林顿教官的威严，那纯粹是找死。 他带着队伍去了院子两边的小房间，里面有些是空的，有些有怪物存在，都是三十级的精英。 清了几个房间，陆离找到了自己想要的东西。 一个大草盾，用不知名的树藤扎成，足足一人高，一米多宽，即便是草盾，举起来都挺吃力。 “我知道，这个可以用来对付弓箭手，”蔚蓝海风不愧是玩盾的高手，一眼就看出来陆离想要干什么。 当弓箭手太多的时候，MT用的那种中型盾牌就没用了，只有这种全身大盾才能产生有效防护，至于为什么不用大铁盾，拜托，那种盾是装在战车上的，没有人能举的起来。 “没错，不过一个盾不够，我们再找找，”陆离点头。 又清了十几个房间，一共拿到了四面盾牌，再找或许还有，但是陆离觉得已经足够，就不再浪费时间了。 站在院子的这一段，蔚蓝海风举起了草盾，其他人猫着腰躲在后面。 林顿自然也发现了他们，他冷笑着高声喊道：“不知死活的闯入者，你们根本不知道自己将要面对些什么，弓箭手，放箭！”
Chapter 376: Dog Food Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations Nightmare Difficulty again? Azure Sea Breeze and the others were speechless; they just stared blankly at Lu Li. They were just talking about the First Clear rewards and how good they were. They didn’t expect Lu Li to coldly suggest the Nightmare Difficulty for the next Instance Dungeon. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe they could do it, but that they thought it wasn’t necessary. What had just happened? They had just got the First Clear! When the First Clear was announced, the whole world fell silent, but Ruling Sword began to celebrate. This kind of recognition wasn’t something that most members of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had experienced before. After all, they couldn’t just go around flattering each other. In order to achieve the First Clear, they had selected the Elite Difficulty. Even then, they already had to fight really hard for it, so why would they pick the Nightmare Difficulty now? "Hah, if you want to do the Nightmare difficulty, then let’s do it. There’s nothing to be afraid of." Azure Sea Breeze, the one who did the most complaining, was the surprisingly the first to respond, "Glory Capital started the Scarlet Cemetery last night, but we’ve managed pull ahead of them. It doesn’t matter what star players they have, because to the rest of the world, we are the best of the best." "Ha, Ha," Wandering sarcastically quipped. Eventually, the decision to do it in Nightmare Difficulty was unanimously decided upon. Although everyone had their own reservations, no one wanted to oppose Lu Li’s decision. Lu Li was the core of their team and the undisputed leader. Even players as proud as Wandering, Moonlight and Lonesome Flower never questioned him. "The library is heavily guarded but I know some secrets about the Scarlet Monastery which can save us a lot of effort," Lu Li said, which comforted everyone. He wasn’t crazy – he wouldn’t have chosen it if it was impossible. There were only two official Bosses in the Scarlet Library, but it was really two and a half bosses. The first was Lington, Training Officer Lington. He was the half-Boss, and an officer that served the Scarlet Crusade, training their soldiers to fight and shoot. He trained the Scarlet Crusade’s archers and basically controlled them in the palm of his hand. The strength of this officer was quite ordinary, but he controlled two teams of twenty archers which had burst power that could only be described as overpowered. Among the level 30 Elites, you wouldn’t be able to find another group that had an attack strength as powerful as theirs. Any player who took an attack from all of them at once was guaranteed to be killed. Lu Li confidently believed that no one would be able to solve this puzzle for a while, which was why he had the courage to pick the Nightmare Difficulty. "Lu Li that’s gross. What is that thing?" Azure Sea Breeze asked. He saw Lu Li picking something that didn’t look particularly appealing. Everyone else also started to move away from him. "Everyone collect some; it’s just dog food. Throw it at the hound when you see it," Lu Li said calmly and carefully put the collected dog food into his bag. "It’s so smelly; can I not take it? I’m just a child," Hachi Chan wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Blergh." The little girl had already vomited. "Alright, stop fussing. This item is really important – our ability to complete this Instance Dungeon depends on it," Lu Li said seriously. Once they heard him say that, they obediently collected this so-called dog food. In reality, this dog food had been mixed with some corpses, which was why it smelled so bad. Most people would avoid it entirely, let alone even think that it was necessary to defeat Dog Trainer Roxi. Dog Trainer Roxi was the second Boss; this item was required for the future. The first mob that they encountered was some kind of watchman, who had brought four hungry hunting dogs with him. It was said that you should keep your hunting dogs a little hungry so that they feel compelled to run. "Dreamy, you go first. Throw a bag of dog food onto the ground and quickly hide," Lu Li commanded. This was a simple task. Remnant Dream obediently threw the bag of dog food the moment she heard the instruction to do so. She felt uncomfortable holding such an unpleasant thing in her bag. All the other players watched from a distance as the watchman and hunting dogs approached it. The watchman walked past it without noticing the dog food, and he didn’t notice that his dogs had stopped to eat the dog food either. This was a recipe for disaster – the crazed dogs pounced onto him and the watchman had no power to stop them. The dogs then fell asleep after they had killed the watchman. "Hachi, on the next wave, you can throw yours." Lu Li was relieved as they passed the sleeping dogs and continued to press ahead. "The watchman only had 2000 HP and the dogs had 1000 HP each. Couldn’t we just kill them? Why are we going through all this trouble?" Wandering asked, confused as to what Lu Li was doing. However, knowing Lu Li, there had to be some legitimate reason and it wasn’t just some trivial matter. "You’ll know soon enough," Lu Li replied cryptically, brushing aside the question. Along the rest of the path, there was always the same kind of mob – a watchman and his four hunting dogs. The ten players threw the food each time, resulting in a total of 10 dead watchmen and 40 sleeping dogs. "Will these dogs help us fight the Boss?" Wandering felt that something was up as an amazing idea suddenly formed in his mind that he couldn’t help but blurt out. What kind of joke was that? Simply throwing some food on the ground would cause these dogs to betray their owner? "This dog food was a product of a failed experiment. The side effects were too great, so they were abandoned by the Scarlet Crusade," Lu Li casually explained. He knew nothing about the scientific principles or biological theories behind it. They had just arrived at a courtyard which was filled with Armor-clad Archers as far as the eye could see. Lu Li didn’t directly provoke the Training Officer Lington. Doing such a thing would be guaranteeing his own death. He brought the party to some rooms beside the courtyard first. Some of them were empty, while others were filled with level 30 elite monsters. After clearing a few rooms, Lu Li found the item he was looking for. It was a grass shield interwoven with vines, and was as tall as a person in addition to being a meter wide. Although it was a grass shield, it was still quite hard to lift. "I know that this will be used to deal with the archers." Azure Sea Breeze was indeed a master of shields and immediately knew what Lu Li wanted to do. When there were these many archers, the medium-sized shield that a Main Tank usually carried was not enough. Only this kind of full-bodied shield could provide effective protection. As for why they couldn’t use a large iron shield, those kinds of shields were installed onto chariots for a reason – no one could lift them up. "That’s right, but one shield isn’t enough. We have to keep looking," Lu Li nodded. After clearing another dozen rooms, they had found four shields. There were probably more, but Lu Li thought that it was enough and that they didn’t need to waste any more time. They stood in the courtyard and Azure Sea Breeze lifted his grass shield as the others hid behind him. Naturally, Lington quickly discovered them. He laughed coldly before shouting, "You intruders will know death! You have no idea what you’re about to face! Archers, fire!"

This was just too ‘savage’.\nShi Yi accepted the challenge and was probably going to arrive soon. This left everyone overwhelmed by emotions. Anticipation stirred within them as they waited for this battle.\nThis place felt exceptionally stifling. The mountain gates were destroyed under Shi Hao’s palm, and the bronze board was crushed into pieces. This naturally startled the experts within, causing ten furious auras to flow out.\nWhat kind of place was the Demonic Spirit Lake? There were pure-blooded creatures dwelling within, and it could extend its command over the great wastelands. Its might was incredible.\nNormally, who dared to provoke them? Whenever a creature from the Demonic Spirit Lake was seen, there was none who wouldn’t move out of the way!\nThe great lake was a clear and crystalline dark blue. From beside the lake, a few figures walked out from within the grand and imposing structures with completely overcast faces. After so many years, who dared to provoke them?\nThis was a restricted land where the descendants of deities rested. There was absolutely no need for anyone to guard the gates, because there weren’t any creatures that dared draw near. Today’s situation was extremely strange and had never happened before.\n“Truly daring. So many years has passed, yet no one has dared to knock down my Demonic Spirit Lake’s gates. However, you actually dare to destroy my sect’s mountain entrance!” A middle aged male shouted loudly.\n“He is… Shi Hao.” From the side, a youngster said softly.\n“What?” That individual was immediately startled, and his aura weakened somewhat.\nShi Hao rubbed his chin and suddenly laughed loudly into the sky. He felt as if he had forgotten something that he suddenly remembered. The so called Archaic Divine Mountains were simply treasure deposits! There were pure-blooded creatures here that he could hunt and refine into precious medicine!”\nThis was the Void God Realm, but everything inside was comparable to that of the outside world, reaching a shocking degree of similarity. The precious medicine here could nourish the mind, and it would similarly benefit one’s body in the real world.\n“What are you laughing at? Do you think you can do whatever you want here?” The middle aged male’s face darkened, becoming incredibly ugly.\nDuring the battle of the capital, Shi Hao killed the Black Eyed Green Demonic Spider, shocking the great wastelands.\n“What kind of creature are you? Half-human, half-bug or something? Swap out for another pure-blooded creature please,” Shi Hao said.\nThe face of the middle-aged individual on the other side fell ashen. This really was a type of contempt… He didn’t even see him as a person, and for a powerful individual inside a restricted land, this was a type of utter humiliation.\n“This world does not belong to a single person. No one can be unrivalled! As a human, you should understand how to show respect. This is the Demonic Spirit Lake, not a place where you can behave atrociously!” The middle-aged male shouted.\n“Everything you said is true. This is not a world where a single person or clan can rule, so let me ask you something. Back then, why did the Demonic Spirit Lake show up in the Martial Imperial Manor to force away my grandfather and even more so, to kill me?” Shi Hao asked.\nHe strode forward with large steps. He didn’t have a single good impression of the Demonic Spirit Lake, so he took action on the spot. A palm slapped outwards, causing rubble to fly everywhere and lakewater to soar into the sky.\nThe middle-aged man and the others all staggered about in retreat, all of them with pale expressions. This was the result after they tried to retreat, so if they faced it head on, they definitely would have suffered greatly. Blood most likely would have been drawn.\n“Young man, you’ve crossed the line!” Right at that moment, a dignified voice sounded. An enormous black spider emerged from within the imposing structure beside the lake.\n“Almost pure-blooded?” Shi Hao narrowed his eyes.\nEven within the Archaic Divine Mountains, there weren’t many pure-blooded creatures. The majority were descendants with mixed blood.\nDespite this, creatures that emerged from the divine mountains were still far more powerful than those outside. Those that were closer to being pure-blooded were even more formidable and could suppress an area.\nThe Demonic Spirit Lake was a restricted land that was rarely provoked. It was as if a frantic hurricane was rushing out from within. Sand flew about, and enormous boulders were swept into the air.\nThe black spider’s body was humongous, and black colored spider hair covered it. It continuously stared at Shi Hao.\n“Hasn’t your Demonic Spirit Lake always tried to get rid of me? Since we are enemies, why blame me for bullying you guys? Not ending until one of us is dead sounds more correct.” Shi Hao sneered.\nHe walked through the mountain gates alone and arrived in front of the great lake. Impressive palaces lined up one after another before him, giving off a majestic aura. However, he still remained completely fearless.\n“Kill!”\nThe enormous black spider suddenly shouted. It spat out a large brilliant web, and at the same time, this entire area lit up. Silver symbols flooded this place, and countless starry rivers interweaved through the ground to trap Shi Hao within.\nUnfortunately, it was all in vain. With a wave of Shi Hao’s left arm, a brilliant divine light was released like flames. The entire place was torn apart as the great formation began to disintegrate.\n“That is the ancestral armguard of Heavenly Divine Mountain!\nAn individual cried on in shock. Shi Hao actually possessed a great killing artifact on him! Now that it was utilized, this entire place was blown away by its power. It made even those of the Demonic Spirit Lake feel an extremely great restraining fear.\nEveryone was so nervous that even their breathing became hurried. Shi Hao had not even fought against Shi Yi yet and instead broke into this kind of restricted land. Great events were unfolding before the previous battle even concluded!\nThis similarly made people pay close attention, because it might make the conflict even fiercer and bring about an even crazier battle. One has to understand that these restricted lands were the most terrifying ones to provoke. As descendants of deities, who knew what kind of terrifying trump cards they had hidden.\nThe enormous black spider rushed over and spat out a blast of symbols. They turned into granules like stellar sand to corrode all tangible substances. It was incomparably terrifying.\nShi Hao faced it with an indifferent expression. His hands formed a magical imprint and sent out strand after strand of orderly symbols to completely obliterate the sparkling substance.\n“The Thousand Cobwebs, suppress and kill!” The opposing individual shouted.\nShi Hao calmly evolved the divine light within him, turning them all into divine furnaces. His entire body began to blaze like an eternal divine furnace. With a\nsound, raging flames blazed about. The great flames burned, setting all of the incoming spiderwebs aflame. Dazzling and beautiful light flourished brilliantly.\nShi Hao strode forward with large steps. There were people who tried to stand in his way, but they were all blasted away flying with a fist. He began to fight fiercely against the spider, continuously colliding against it. Fiery light and symbols erupted together.\nThe enormous black spider fell back in reverse and continuously coughed out blood. He couldn’t stop Shi Hao’s footsteps.\n“Young man, stop now before you go too far. This is a restricted land, and it is under the control of my Demonic Spirit Lake. It’s not a place where you can act recklessly!” Another enormous spider appeared.\nIt was a dark green creature. Its entire body was shining, and its aura was rather intimidating. It was like a small mountain; this was a pure-blooded creature.\nThe most important thing was that there was a precious artifact suspended from above its head. It was shockingly bright, and within it circulated the profound mysteries of the heavens. The sun, moon, and stars could vaguely be seen.\nThis spider was extremely terrifying and was definitely an ancestral elder of the Demonic Spirit Lake. That magical artifact, in particular, gave others an ominous feeling. It even startled Shi Hao.\nThe magical artifact was rather indistinct as it was wrapped within a sphere of light. Only when Shi Hao carefully observed it did he realize that it was a spell banner.\nSoon after, he sensed that the ancient aura in front of him became completely different.

第三百四十一章 连破纪录，在晶莹的纪录石碑上留言，两人以这这种方式对话，着实震的人说不出话来，这也太“凶残”了。 石毅应战，想来不久后就会赶到，这让众人心潮澎湃，热血上涌，十分期待这一战。 此地异常压抑，山门被石昊一巴掌震塌，青铜匾被化成齑粉，这自然惊动了里面的强者，数十股气息冲起。 魔灵湖是什么地方？ 平日间谁敢招惹，见到魔灵湖走出的生灵，莫不避退！ 大湖碧蓝，清澈而晶莹，在湖边那些宏伟的建筑物中走出一些身影，他们面沉似水，多年来谁敢惹他们？ 这里是禁区，栖居有天神的后代，从来不用派人守护大门，因为根本就没有其他生灵敢接近，出现而今这种状况很诡异，过去从未发生过。 “好胆，多少年了，都没有人敢踏我魔灵湖大门，而你却毁我族山门！” 一个中年男子大喝。 旁边有一个年轻人低语。 “什么？” 那个人顿时一惊，气息弱了几分。 石昊摸了摸下巴，突然仰天哈哈大笑了起来，他觉得自己过去错过了什么，直到今日才恍然。 所谓的太古神山，简直就是宝藏啊，这里有纯血生灵，可以猎杀，能熬炼成宝药！ 这里是虚神界，但所有这一切都与外界对应，能够达到惊人的效果，这里的宝药可滋养精神力，回归现实世界则可反哺肉身。 “你笑什么。 以为可以在这里为所欲为吗？” 中年男子阴沉下脸，无比的难看。 皇都一战，石昊斩杀碧魔黑瞳蛛，震动大荒，让魔灵湖损失巨大，那可是一个尊者，就这样被一个少年杀了。 “你是什么人，半人半虫吗。 换一个纯血生灵来。” 石昊道。 对面的中年人脸色铁青，这是一种蔑视啊，根本就没有将他看在眼中，对于禁区中的强者来说这是一种耻辱。 “这天下不是一个人的天下，没有人可以无敌，你身为人族要懂得敬畏。 这里是魔灵湖，不是你撒野的地方！” “说的好，这天下不是一人与一族的天下。 那我问你，当日魔灵湖为何去震慑武王府，逼走我祖父，更要镇杀我？” 石昊问道。 他超前迈大步，对魔灵湖没有一点好感，当即就出手，一掌向前拍去，乱石翻滚，大湖中浪涛惊天。 那中年男子等人全都踉跄倒退，一个个脸色苍白。 这是他们躲避的结果。 “少年人你过了！” 就在这时，一道威严的声音响起，一头黑色的大蜘蛛出现，从湖边的宏伟建筑物中走出。 “接近纯血？” 石昊凝视。 即便在太古神山，纯血生灵也不多，大多都为血脉斑杂的后裔。 尽管如此。 神山中走出的生灵也远强于外界，若是接近纯血的就更了不得了，可以镇压一方。 魔灵湖是禁地，不容亵渎，里面刮起一股狂暴，宛若一股飓风冲击，飞沙走石，磨盘大的石头都被卷了起来。 那头黑色的蜘蛛体形庞大，黑色蛛毛瘆人，盯着石昊看个不停。 “你先杀我族一位尊者，而今又来这里撒野，真是欺人太甚。” “你们魔灵湖不是一直想除掉我吗，既然是仇敌，还怪我欺人？ 石昊冷哂。 他只身走进山门，来到大湖前，面对那一座又一座宏伟的宫阙，感受到了一种磅礴的的气息，但却无所畏惧。 “杀！” 这头黑色的大蜘蛛突然喝道，吐出一张灿烂的大网，与此同时，此地亮了起来，银色符文密布，地上像是有无尽的星河交织，要将石昊困在当中。 可惜，这样做无效，石昊左臂一震，发出灿烂神光，像是在燃烧般，让此地四分五裂，大阵瓦解。 “神之法器！” “那是天神山的祖传护臂。” 有人惊呼，石昊的身上有一件大杀器，现在被施展出来，在这里威慑，令魔灵湖很多人十分忌惮。 众人紧张到呼吸都急促了，石昊还未与石毅一战，便与这样的禁区起了冲突，真是一波未平一波又起！ 这同样让人关注，说不定会更激烈，引发一场旷世大战。 要知道，这些禁地最不好惹，身为天神的后代，天知道会留下什么可怕的后手与底牌。 黑色大蜘蛛冲来，口中喷出一片符文，化成星沙般的颗粒，腐蚀一切有形之质，可怕无比。 石昊冷漠相对，双手演化法印，震出一道又一道秩序符文，将那些亮晶晶的东西全部磨灭。 “万蛛网，镇杀！” 石昊平静相对，体内神曦演变，全部化成了神炉，令他自身也炽盛了起来，宛若成为一座永恒神炉。 “轰”的一声，烈焰腾腾，大活燃烧，那喷薄过来的一道又一道蛛网全被点燃，光华绚丽而炽盛。 石昊大步向前，有人阻挡，结果被一拳轰飞，他与那头大蜘蛛激战，接连碰撞，火光与符文一起迸发。 黑色的大蜘蛛倒退，不断咳血，他难以阻挡石昊的脚步。 “少年人，适可而止吧，这里是禁区，是我魔灵湖的地盘，还容不得你乱来！” 又一头大蜘蛛出现。 这是一头碧绿的生灵，通体发光，气息慑人，跟一座小山似的，是一头纯血生灵。 最重要的是，它头顶上空悬着一件宝具，光束惊人，流转诸天奥义，隐约间有日月星辰浮现那里。 这头蜘蛛很恐怖，绝对是魔灵湖一脉的元老，尤其是那件法器给人很不好的感觉，让石昊都心头一跳。 法器模糊，被一个光团包裹着，石昊仔细观看才发觉，那是一杆阵旗。 很快，他觉察到，前方的古地气息完全不一样了，在这杆阵旗的控制下，雾霭弥漫，像是有混沌气散发。 “神明留下的大阵！” 石昊吃惊，没有立刻硬撼。 最终，一场大碰撞展开了，石昊没有留后手，对方那里有神明法阵，他则动用了神之护臂，爆发惊天大战。 任谁都没有想到，两位少年至尊还未开战，这里就已经先爆发了这样的惊世战，格外的激烈。 大浪滔天，碧湖中冲起无尽的水花，各种纹络密布，交织成片，大蜘蛛碧绿而璀璨，催动阵旗，以无上大阵镇压。 可惜，它遭遇了石昊，他开辟十大洞天，演化无尽神曦，超越极境，在这里可以称之为屹立在巅峰上。 这一战很激烈，那宏伟的建筑在裂开，有符文在磨灭，不断暗淡。 这本是如同上古神庙般的建筑群，坐落在湖边，宏伟无比，而此时却失去了光泽，不再那么庄严。 众人无不心惊肉跳，这也太吓人了！ “轰！” 一座宏伟的天宫炸开，化成齑粉，第一重大阵破碎了，石昊的神之护臂发光，搅动起漫天风云，他神武无比。 那头碧绿蜘蛛横飞，头上那个光团滚落，没入古地深处，就此消失不见。 它变色，那是祖器，对它表示不满，认为它不堪，丢了魔灵湖一脉的尊严，舍弃了它。 石昊几步就冲了过来，碧绿的大蜘蛛逃遁，结果还是没有能快过他，两者接连碰撞，血液溅起。 “噗”的一声，大蜘蛛被斩杀，身子被石昊撕裂成两半，这个结果镇住了所有人。 一头纯血生灵被杀！ 这绝对是一件大事，影响深远，少年至尊战未开启，就已经有超绝人物殒落了。 石昊出手，镇封那尸体，不曾想那尸体化成光雨就要消失。 他弹指，一根灭魂针飞出，噗的一声插进光雨中。 现实世界中，魔灵湖传来一声凄厉的惨叫，一头大蜘蛛的头颅炸开一块，不断淌血，在那里翻滚，即将毙命。 无声无息，一头金色的蜘蛛出现，取出一件法器，快速镇压，定住了它的头颅，以无上大神通摄取出一道赤光。 虚神界，石昊一凛，他看到那片光雨将熄灭时，又闪耀了数次，最终消散，不像是死亡。 这让他心中剧震！ 大阵轰鸣，各座宏伟的建筑物发光，魔灵湖越发的恐怖了，波动若汪洋般起伏。 “咦，还有第二重！” 石昊惊叹，不愧是出过天神的禁区，这里不止一座神明法阵守护。 无论是谁，想将这里攻克，都会很艰难。 就在在这时，一声断喝传来。 远方，出现一个英姿勃发的少年身影，横空而至，威严与强大无匹，所过之处，群雄避退，令人一阵心颤。 石毅来了，他如一尊天神般，从天而降，浑身都在发光，强势而霸道。 所有人都心头剧震，正主既然来了，一场龙争虎斗不可避免，将引发一场惊天大波澜！ 石毅，十六七岁的样子，发丝又黑又浓密，根根晶莹，在散发光辉，他皮肤如玉石般有光泽，一双眼睛深邃而有神，站在那里，有一种特别的气韵。 “我的好弟弟，你的手可真不软。” 他平静的说道。
Chapter 341 - Demonic Spirit Lake The two individuals continuously broke records to leave messages for each other on the sparkling record steles, leaving everyone completely speechless. This was just too ‘savage’. Shi Yi accepted the challenge and was probably going to arrive soon. This left everyone overwhelmed by emotions. Anticipation stirred within them as they waited for this battle. This place felt exceptionally stifling. The mountain gates were destroyed under Shi Hao’s palm, and the bronze board was crushed into pieces. This naturally startled the experts within, causing ten furious auras to flow out. What kind of place was the Demonic Spirit Lake? There were pure-blooded creatures dwelling within, and it could extend its command over the great wastelands. Its might was incredible. Normally, who dared to provoke them? Whenever a creature from the Demonic Spirit Lake was seen, there was none who wouldn’t move out of the way! The great lake was a clear and crystalline dark blue. From beside the lake, a few figures walked out from within the grand and imposing structures with completely overcast faces. After so many years, who dared to provoke them? This was a restricted land where the descendants of deities rested. There was absolutely no need for anyone to guard the gates, because there weren’t any creatures that dared draw near. Today’s situation was extremely strange and had never happened before. “Truly daring. So many years has passed, yet no one has dared to knock down my Demonic Spirit Lake’s gates. However, you actually dare to destroy my sect’s mountain entrance!” A middle aged male shouted loudly. “He is… Shi Hao.” From the side, a youngster said softly. “What?” That individual was immediately startled, and his aura weakened somewhat. Shi Hao rubbed his chin and suddenly laughed loudly into the sky. He felt as if he had forgotten something that he suddenly remembered. The so called Archaic Divine Mountains were simply treasure deposits! There were pure-blooded creatures here that he could hunt and refine into precious medicine!” This was the Void God Realm, but everything inside was comparable to that of the outside world, reaching a shocking degree of similarity. The precious medicine here could nourish the mind, and it would similarly benefit one’s body in the real world. “What are you laughing at? Do you think you can do whatever you want here?” The middle aged male’s face darkened, becoming incredibly ugly. During the battle of the capital, Shi Hao killed the Black Eyed Green Demonic Spider, shocking the great wastelands. “What kind of creature are you? Half-human, half-bug or something? Swap out for another pure-blooded creature please,” Shi Hao said. The face of the middle-aged individual on the other side fell ashen. This really was a type of contempt… He didn’t even see him as a person, and for a powerful individual inside a restricted land, this was a type of utter humiliation. “This world does not belong to a single person. No one can be unrivalled! As a human, you should understand how to show respect. This is the Demonic Spirit Lake, not a place where you can behave atrociously!” The middle-aged male shouted. “Everything you said is true. This is not a world where a single person or clan can rule, so let me ask you something. Back then, why did the Demonic Spirit Lake show up in the Martial Imperial Manor to force away my grandfather and even more so, to kill me?” Shi Hao asked. He strode forward with large steps. He didn’t have a single good impression of the Demonic Spirit Lake, so he took action on the spot. A palm slapped outwards, causing rubble to fly everywhere and lakewater to soar into the sky. The middle-aged man and the others all staggered about in retreat, all of them with pale expressions. This was the result after they tried to retreat, so if they faced it head on, they definitely would have suffered greatly. Blood most likely would have been drawn. “Young man, you’ve crossed the line!” Right at that moment, a dignified voice sounded. An enormous black spider emerged from within the imposing structure beside the lake. “Almost pure-blooded?” Shi Hao narrowed his eyes. Even within the Archaic Divine Mountains, there weren’t many pure-blooded creatures. The majority were descendants with mixed blood. Despite this, creatures that emerged from the divine mountains were still far more powerful than those outside. Those that were closer to being pure-blooded were even more formidable and could suppress an area. The Demonic Spirit Lake was a restricted land that was rarely provoked. It was as if a frantic hurricane was rushing out from within. Sand flew about, and enormous boulders were swept into the air. The black spider’s body was humongous, and black colored spider hair covered it. It continuously stared at Shi Hao. “Hasn’t your Demonic Spirit Lake always tried to get rid of me? Since we are enemies, why blame me for bullying you guys? Not ending until one of us is dead sounds more correct.” Shi Hao sneered. He walked through the mountain gates alone and arrived in front of the great lake. Impressive palaces lined up one after another before him, giving off a majestic aura. However, he still remained completely fearless. “Kill!” The enormous black spider suddenly shouted. It spat out a large brilliant web, and at the same time, this entire area lit up. Silver symbols flooded this place, and countless starry rivers interweaved through the ground to trap Shi Hao within. Unfortunately, it was all in vain. With a wave of Shi Hao’s left arm, a brilliant divine light was released like flames. The entire place was torn apart as the great formation began to disintegrate. “That is the ancestral armguard of Heavenly Divine Mountain! An individual cried on in shock. Shi Hao actually possessed a great killing artifact on him! Now that it was utilized, this entire place was blown away by its power. It made even those of the Demonic Spirit Lake feel an extremely great restraining fear. Everyone was so nervous that even their breathing became hurried. Shi Hao had not even fought against Shi Yi yet and instead broke into this kind of restricted land. Great events were unfolding before the previous battle even concluded! This similarly made people pay close attention, because it might make the conflict even fiercer and bring about an even crazier battle. One has to understand that these restricted lands were the most terrifying ones to provoke. As descendants of deities, who knew what kind of terrifying trump cards they had hidden. The enormous black spider rushed over and spat out a blast of symbols. They turned into granules like stellar sand to corrode all tangible substances. It was incomparably terrifying. Shi Hao faced it with an indifferent expression. His hands formed a magical imprint and sent out strand after strand of orderly symbols to completely obliterate the sparkling substance. “The Thousand Cobwebs, suppress and kill!” The opposing individual shouted. Shi Hao calmly evolved the divine light within him, turning them all into divine furnaces. His entire body began to blaze like an eternal divine furnace. With a sound, raging flames blazed about. The great flames burned, setting all of the incoming spiderwebs aflame. Dazzling and beautiful light flourished brilliantly. Shi Hao strode forward with large steps. There were people who tried to stand in his way, but they were all blasted away flying with a fist. He began to fight fiercely against the spider, continuously colliding against it. Fiery light and symbols erupted together. The enormous black spider fell back in reverse and continuously coughed out blood. He couldn’t stop Shi Hao’s footsteps. “Young man, stop now before you go too far. This is a restricted land, and it is under the control of my Demonic Spirit Lake. It’s not a place where you can act recklessly!” Another enormous spider appeared. It was a dark green creature. Its entire body was shining, and its aura was rather intimidating. It was like a small mountain; this was a pure-blooded creature. The most important thing was that there was a precious artifact suspended from above its head. It was shockingly bright, and within it circulated the profound mysteries of the heavens. The sun, moon, and stars could vaguely be seen. This spider was extremely terrifying and was definitely an ancestral elder of the Demonic Spirit Lake. That magical artifact, in particular, gave others an ominous feeling. It even startled Shi Hao. The magical artifact was rather indistinct as it was wrapped within a sphere of light. Only when Shi Hao carefully observed it did he realize that it was a spell banner. Soon after, he sensed that the ancient aura in front of him became completely different. Under the control of that spell banner, a hazy mist began to diffuse outwards, as if primal chaos was being released. “A great formation left behind by a deity!” Shi Hao was astonished and did not immediately face it head on. Hong! Finally, a great collision unfolded. Shi Hao did not hold back anything, because the opponent was using a deity’s formation. He used the divine armguard, and the two astonishingly powerful powers clashed. No one could have thought that a world-shocking battle would take place here before the two supreme youths even fought. Hong! Great waves shot into the heavens. Water continuously swirled into the air as symbols interweaved through this place. The large resplendent green spider activated the spell banner, using the supreme formation to suppress his opponent. Unfortunately, it was fighting Shi Hao. He opened his ten heavenly passages and evolved the endless divine light to break through the limit of this realm. In this place, he truly could stand at the very peak. The battle was incredibly ferocious. The grand and imposing structures began to split apart. Symbols were extinguished as this place continuously grew dim. The buildings were similar to ancient temples. They appeared incredibly magnificent as they rested beside the lake, yet at this moment, they lost all of their luster and were no longer so dignified. There wasn’t a single individual who wasn’t terrified. This was just too crazy! Hong! A grand and imposing heavenly temple was blasted apart into pieces; the first great formation was shattered. Shi Hao’s divine armguard lit up, stirring up malevolent winds in the skies and displaying an incredibly valiant might. The green spider was sent flying, and the circle of light above its head tumbled down into the depths of the ancient land, disappearing just like that. Its face became discolored. This was an ancestral artifact, and it was unsatisfied with the spider, feeling that it was unsightly and disgraced the Demonic Spirit Lake bloodline’s dignity. As a result, it abandoned it. Shi Hao dashed out with only a few steps. The enormous green spider tried to flee, but in the end, it still couldn’t outrun him. The two collided, and blood splashed high into the air. pu sound, the great spider was killed. His body was torn into two pieces, creating a result that froze everyone in place. A pure-blooded creature was killed! This was definitely a great matter that produced far-reaching effects! The battle between supreme youths had not unfolded, yet such a supreme existence had already fallen. Shi Hao raised his hand, and a needle flew out towards the corpse. He did not want the corpse to turn into a rain of light and disappear. When his finger was raised, a Soul Shattering Needle flew out, stabbing into the drizzle of light with a In the real world, a miserable shriek sounded from the Demonic Spirit Lake.

So why can't I be here ?\" A fierce aura permeated the air. In a blink of an eye, Chen Shao Shuai disappeared from where he was standing and appeared before Duan Ling Tian. \"Duan Ling Tian, it's been a while.\"\n\"Yes, it's been a while… I didn't think you'll be in the Inner Land since you didn't even secure a place in the Martial Competition. I'm sure your cultivation base is terrifying now,\" Duan Ling Tian spoke slowly. There was a hint of surprise on his face.\n\"Some great encounters led me here… I was so happy because I thought a freak like you would be far behind me now. I didn't expect that you're still the same. You're still more powerful than I am,\" Chen Shao Shui could not help but exclaim as he observed Duan Ling Tian.\n\"Seems like you really did have some great encounters… You're already at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage now,\" Duan Ling Tian said as he looked into Chen Shao Shuai's eyes.\nHe had extended his Spiritual Energy out earlier and detected that Chen Shao Shui's current cultivation base was at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage. Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he found out.\n\"You can see through my cultivation base in just a glance... You really live up to your name,\" Chen Shao Shuai exclaimed. He did not seem surprised. \"But so what if I'm at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage? I still can't compare to you. You're so great now. Not only did you become prince charming to all the women in the border, but you're also the Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, a first-rate force!\"\n\"I heard you killed the old Peak Master of Yang Sect from Yin Yang Sect, Yang Hong… From what I know, Yang Hong was the best among all the Eighth Level Martial Monarchs.\" Chen Shao Shuai's gaze turned more and more complicated as he spoke.\nHe remembered Duan Ling Tian was a total monster back when they were at the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.\nHis journey was tough after they parted ways at the Darkstone Empire. He had some great encounters that allowed him to elevate his cultivation base. He was traveling before he crossed the Ruo Shui River and arrived at the Inner Land, the central zone of Cloud Continent, where many powerhouses gather.\nInitially, he thought Duan Ling Tian would be far behind him now.\nHowever, the news he heard shocked him. Ling Tian Sect!\nIn the beginning, he thought the Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, Duan Ling Tian, merely had the same name as the monster he knew back in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.\nHowever, his instinct told him there was a high possibility that this Duan Ling Tian was the monster he knew.\nThat was the reason he came here. He wanted to dispel his doubts.\nThe truth proved that his instinct was right.\nThe Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, Duan Ling Tian, was the same friend he knew back in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.\n\"You're really up-to-date with the news.\" Duan Ling Tian smiled.\nHe was in a good mood seeing his old friend again.\n\"Do I really need to be up-to-date to hear about the news?\" Chen Shao Shuai rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian. \"You're a famous person in the border now… I heard many single virgins are planning to join your Ling Tian Sect.\"\n\"I'm sure you know what their objectives are… The drinker's heart is not in the cup [1],\" Chen Shao Shuai said with a smirk.\n\"Oh, right. You left with Luo Zhan back then… Did both of you part ways after that?\" Duan Ling Tian ignored Chen Shao Shuai's words completely and steered the topic in a different direction.\nDuan Ling Tian's harmless words made Chen Shao Shui shudder. The expression on his face turned ugly.\n\"What's wrong?\" Duan Ling Tian turned solemn. An ominous feeling rose from within.\n\"Luo Zhan's dead!\" Chen Shao Shuai finally spoke. His voice was gloomy and subdued.\nDead!\nDuan Ling Tian's expression changed drastically as he narrowed his eyes. \"What happened? How did he die?\"\nLuo Zhan or Crazy Young Master was the leader of the five great Young Masters of Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom back then. They were close friends. He was the grandson of the Guild Master of the Weapons Craftsmen Guild's Main Guild in the Azure Forest Imperial. He had helped Duan Ling Tian a lot.\nIt was difficult for him to imagine how agonizing it must be for the old man when he heard about Luo Zhan's death.\n\"It's my fault.\" Nobody knew when tears began to stream down Chen Shao Shuai's face as his body trembled. \"Luo Zhan and I were heading north at that time… We passed by the Darkhan Dynasty and Darming Dynasty before eventually arriving at the northern desert land.\"\n\"We continued on with our journey after leaving the northern desert land… By fate, we came across the secret treasure left behind by a Martial Emperor. We managed to successfully enter the place.\"\n\"We found many treasures when we were in there like Spirit Fruits, Concept Fragments, and Profundity Fragments. We obtained many of those things, but we also encountered at least ten Inscription Formations.\"\n\"However, we activated the last Inscription Formation left behind by the Martial Emperor powerhouse just as we were leaving. It was a Killing Formation!\"\n\"Luo Zhan discovered the Killing Formation first and pushed me out of the range of the formation… He missed the opportunity to escape because of that and was killed by the Killing Formation!\" Chen Shao Shuai's face turned a little ferocious as he spoke to this point. \"If it wasn't for saving me, he wouldn't be dead… He would be alive!\"\n\"Luo Zhan.\" Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and closed his eyes slowly.\nBased on Sword Young Master Chen Shao Shui's words, if Luo Zhan was still alive, his current ability would not be inferior to Duan Ling Tian.\n\"Don't beat yourself up… Since Luo Zhan saved you, you have to live well for his sake,\" Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Chen Shao Shuai who was obviously in pain.\n\"I know… I'll live well and do the things he wanted to do but never had a chance to. Hopefully, he'll be able to rest in peace.\" Chen Shao Shuai nodded. His chaotic emotion calmed down because of this.\n\"So what do you plan to do now?\" Duan Ling Tian asked.\n\"I've no idea… I've just arrived in the Inner Land not too long ago.\" Chen Shao Shuai shook his head.\n\"Why don't you stay in my Ling Tian Sect? I'll grant you the position of an elder,\" Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.\n\"A Ling Tian Sect's elder?\" Chen Shao Shuai's eyes lit up when he heard that. \"That's interesting… Sure! I'll stay at your Ling Tian Sect for now.\"\n\"You can stay at Ling Tian Sect… But, I'll need you to make an oath,\" Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Chen Shao Shuai cautiously.\nBack when they were in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he remembered Chen Shao Shuai would spend most of his time at brothels. He would not be satisfied without women.\nHalf of Ling Tian Sect consisted of female disciples. Duan Ling Tian did not want Chen Shao Shuai to do anything humiliating in his Ling Tian Sect.\n\"What oath should I make?\" Chen Shao Shuai was stunned.\nHe forced a smile and rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian at the same time when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. \"I won't misbehave in Ling Tian Sect no matter how much I desire a lady… I'll have to take care of your reputation even if I don't care about mine.\"\n\"It's good that you think like that.\" Duan Ling Tian nodded with satisfaction.\n\"Let's go. I'll introduce you to some people,\" Duan Ling Tian said to Chen Shao Shuai before he brought him to meet Feng Tian Wu, Xiong Quan, and Gold Thug.\nIt was worth mentioning that Chen Shao Shuai stared unabashedly at Feng Tian Wu for ten breaths time when he met her. Feng Tian Wu was just too stunning with her beautiful face.\nHe only stopped staring at her after he discovered Feng Tian Wu's eyes were on Duan Ling Tian all the time.\n'So she's Duan Ling Tian's woman.' Chen Shao Shui was secretly envious.\n\"I'll bring him to see Luo Ping.\" Duan Ling Tian left with Chen Shao Shuai to look for Luo Ping after informing Feng Tian Wu and the other two.\nAlthough Luo Ping was only one of Ling Tian Sect's three Vice Sect Masters, she was undoubtedly Duan Ling Tian's most trustworthy Vice Sect Master. She was responsible for all the daily major and minor matters in the Ling Tian Sect.\nShe was the only Vice Sect Master who could represent Duan Ling Tian.\nAfter leaving Chen Shao Shuai with Luo Ping, Duan Ling Tian returned to Feng Tian Wu and the other two. \"Both of you, spread the news… Tell people that Ling Tian Sect is recruiting grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists.\"\n\"Yes, Young Master.\"\n\"Yes, Master.\"\nXiong Quan and Gold Thug left after they replied Duan Ling Tian.\n\"I'm afraid no grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists would be willing to come if you spread the news this way,\" Feng Tian Wu said softly to Duan Ling Tian after Xiong Quan and Gold Thug left. The frost on her face had melted a little.\n\"I know… That why we've something more important to handle,\" Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.\n\"Something more important?\" Feng Tian Wu was happy when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words even though she was a little skeptical.\nHe wanted her to handle the most important thing.\nIt proved that she held a high position in Duan Ling Tian's heart.\n\"You'll find out very soon.\" Duan Ling Tian smiled and left her in suspense.\nSoon after, he left the Ling Tian Sect together with Feng Tian Wu. He was bringing Feng Tian Wu to deal with the most important thing now." } ]
1165.第1165章 罗战死了！ 在凌天宗长老的带领下，没过多久，段凌天就看到了立在远处的一道身影。 身影立在那里，如标枪般挺直，无形间透露出‘孤傲’的气息。 熟悉的面孔，多年不见，已是变得沧桑了不少。 过去的轻佻不复存在，取而代之的是内敛和稳重，完全像是变了一个人。 “你这家伙，怎么会出现在这里？” 段凌天人还没到，已经跟远处那一道熟悉的身影打起了招呼，脸上浮现灿烂而温和的笑容。 眼前的这一道熟悉身影，不是别人，正是‘陈少帅’！ 当年，还在青林皇国的时候，剑公子‘陈少帅’就很对他的脾气，和他之间也算是有一番交情。 多年后再次见面，段凌天颇为高兴。 这里，可是云霄大陆的‘内陆’。 “你都可以出现在这里，我为什么不行？” 一股凌厉的气息破空而来，转眼之间，陈少帅消失在原地，再次出现，已是到了段凌天的身前，“段凌天，好久不见。” “是好久不见了……不过，我却是万万没想到，当年连‘王朝武比’的名额都没有争取到的家伙，如今竟是出现在‘内陆’，想来也是拥有了一身惊人的修为。” 段凌天缓缓开口，说到后来，一脸惊叹。 “只是有所奇遇而已……我本以为，如今的我，已经将你这个‘变态’甩在后面，更为此而得意过好几回。 却没想到，你还是跟以前一样，比我强。” 段凌天深深的看了陈少帅一眼，说道。 刚才，他的精神力延伸而出，第一时间就探查到了陈少帅现在的一身修为，武皇境三重。 “果然不愧是段凌天，只一眼，便能看破我的修为。” 陈少帅感叹一声，似乎并没有过于惊讶，“不过，武皇境三重又如何？ 还不是不如你？ 你现在可厉害，不只是周边一带近乎所有女人的‘梦中情人’，更是一流势力‘凌天宗’的宗主！” “听说你干掉了原阴阳宗阳峰峰主‘阳宏’……据我所知，那个阳宏，便是在‘武皇境八重武者’中，也算得上是一号人物。” 当年，还在青林皇国的时候，在他的眼里，段凌天就是一个十足的妖孽、变态！ 黑石帝国一别，他一路艰辛走来，后来有所奇遇，扶摇直上，一路闯荡，最后更是横渡‘弱水河’，来到强者如云的云霄大陆中心区域，也就是‘内陆’。 本以为这个时候的他，已经将段凌天远远的甩在后面。 谁曾想到，一个消息传来，彻底惊到了他。 凌天宗！ 段凌天！ 刚开始，他还以为这凌天宗的宗主‘段凌天’只是一个和当初他在青林皇国认识的那个妖孽同名同姓的强者。 但他的直觉却又告诉他，这个段凌天，很可能就是他认识的那个妖孽。 所以，他来了，想要验证心中的困惑。 事实证明，他的直觉是对的。 凌天宗的宗主‘段凌天’，正是他昔日在青林皇国结识的朋友。 “你的消息还挺灵通的。” 段凌天笑道。 他乡遇故友，他的心情很好。 “这个还需要我消息灵通吗？” 陈少帅白了段凌天一眼，“现在的你，在你周围一带可是名人……我听说，有很多未出嫁的黄花大闺女，都打算拜入你凌天宗呢。” “至于她们的目的，想必不用我说你也能猜到……醉翁之意不在酒哦。” “对了，当初你和罗战是一起离开的……后来你们分开了？” 段凌天完全无视陈少帅的话，岔开话题问道。 而就是段凌天这么一句话，让得陈少帅身体一震，脸色愈发的难看起来。 “怎么？” 段凌天脸色凝重起来，心里隐隐升起了不祥的预感。 终于，陈少帅开口了，语气压抑而低沉。 死了！ 段凌天瞳孔一缩，脸色大变，“怎么回事？ 他怎么会死？” 罗战，昔日青林皇国五大公子之首的‘狂公子’，和他交情很好，并且还是帮过他不少忙的青林皇国炼器师公会总会会长的孙子。 他难以想象。 如果让那位老人得知罗战的死讯，该会是如何的痛苦。 “都怪我。” 不知何时，陈少帅脸上两行清泪落下，身体兀自颤抖着，“当年，我和罗战一同闯荡，一路往北……我们途径大汉王朝、大明王朝，最后到了‘北漠之地’。” “离开北漠之地以后，我们继续前行……后来，机缘巧合之下，我和他遇到了一位武帝强者留下来的‘秘藏’，并且成功进入其中。” “在里面，我们得到了莫大的机缘，诸如灵果、意境碎片、奥义碎片，我们都得到了不少……便是‘通玄之阵’，我们也遇到了不下十次。” “然而，就在我们准备离开的时候，却不小心触动了武帝强者留下来的最后一座‘铭纹之阵’，一座‘杀阵’！” “罗战先一步发现‘杀阵’，及时将我推离‘杀阵’笼罩范围，助我逃过一劫……而他，也因此错失逃离的机会，被‘杀阵’轰杀！” 说到这里，陈少帅面容略微有些狰狞了起来，“他要是不救我，他可以不死的……他可以不死的！” “罗战。” 段凌天深吸一口气，缓缓的闭上了双眼。 按照眼前的剑公子‘陈少帅’所言，如果罗战不死的话，现在的一身成就，不会下于他。 “你也不用太难过……既然罗战救了你，那你就替他好好的活下去。” 段凌天看向一脸痛苦的陈少帅，说道。 “我知道……所以，我会好好的活下去，做他想要做却没法继续做的事。 如此，想必他在天之灵，也能有所慰藉。” “你现在有什么打算？” 段凌天问。 “不知道……我也是才来到内陆不久。” 陈少帅摇了摇头。 “要不然，你就留在我凌天宗？ 我给你个‘长老’当当？” 陈少帅闻言，目光陡然一亮，“好像有点意思……行！ 那我就暂时待在你们凌天宗。” “你要留在凌天宗可以……不过，我可要和你约法三章。” 段凌天警惕的看着陈少帅。 他可是记得。 当年的陈少帅，还在青林皇国的时候，便终日流连于烟花场所，可以说是无女不欢。 而凌天宗弟子，一半都是女弟子。 他可不希望陈少帅在他凌天宗做出什么有辱门风之事。 “怎么约法三章？” 陈少帅一怔，一时没能反应过来。 紧接着，随着段凌天开口，他的脸上遍布苦笑，同时没好气的白了段凌天一眼，“我就算再想女人，也不会在凌天宗里面胡来……我就算不顾自己的脸面，那也得顾你的脸面。” “你会这样想就好。” 段凌天满意点头。 招呼陈少帅一声后，段凌天带着他去见了凤天舞、熊全和金煞三人。 值得一提的是，陈少帅在见到凤天舞以后，足足盯了她十几个呼吸的时间，因为凤天舞实在是太出色了，绝世容颜，堪称倾国倾城。 直到发现凤天舞的目光始终在段凌天的身上以后，他才收回自己的目光。 陈少帅心里充满了羡慕。 “我带他去见罗萍。” 段凌天跟凤天舞三人招呼一声，带着陈少帅离去，去找了罗萍。 罗萍，虽然只是凌天宗三大副宗主之一，但她无疑是段凌天最信任的一位副宗主，平时凌天宗的大小事务主要由她全权负责。 她，是唯一一个可以代表‘段凌天’的副宗主。 将陈少帅丢给罗萍以后，段凌天又回到了凤天舞三人的身边，他第一时间看向熊全和金煞，“你们两人，现在发布一个消息出去……就说凌天宗广收‘一品炼器师’和‘一品炼药师’。” “是，少爷。” “是，主人。” 熊全和金煞应声离去。 “如果只是这样，怕是没有‘一品炼器师’和‘一品炼药师’会愿意来。” 熊全和金煞离去以后，凤天舞脸上的寒霜消融了几分，轻声对段凌天说道。 “我知道……所以，我们现在有更重要的事情去办。” 段凌天笑道。 凤天舞面露疑惑的同时，心里充满欣喜，只因为段凌天的最后一句话。 更重要的事，和她去办。 足以说明她在段凌天心里的地位不低。 “你很快就知道了。” 段凌天笑了笑，卖了个关子，随即便和凤天舞一起离开了凌天峰，离开了凌天宗。 现在，他正是要带凤天舞去办更重要的那件事。
Chapter 1165: Luo Zhan’s Dead! Chapter 1165: Luo Zhan’s Dead! Led by the Ling Tian Sect's elder, Duan Ling Tian soon saw a silhouette standing in the distance. The silhouette stood as straight as a spear, emitting a haughty aura. The familiar face had turned more sorrowful now after years of not seeing each other. The man's frivolity was no longer there. It had been replaced by stability and maturity instead. He seemed like a new man now. "Why are you here?" Duan Ling Tian greeted the familiar silhouette in the distance with a warm and charming smile before he even arrived near him. The familiar silhouette before him was none other than Chen Shao Shuai! Back when they were still at the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he and Sword Young Master Chen Shao Shuai clicked and became friends. Duan Ling Tian was happy to see him again after so many years even though he was a little surprised to see him here. This was the Inner Land on Cloud Continent. "Even you are here... So why can't I be here ?" A fierce aura permeated the air. In a blink of an eye, Chen Shao Shuai disappeared from where he was standing and appeared before Duan Ling Tian. "Duan Ling Tian, it's been a while." "Yes, it's been a while… I didn't think you'll be in the Inner Land since you didn't even secure a place in the Martial Competition. I'm sure your cultivation base is terrifying now," Duan Ling Tian spoke slowly. There was a hint of surprise on his face. "Some great encounters led me here… I was so happy because I thought a freak like you would be far behind me now. I didn't expect that you're still the same. You're still more powerful than I am," Chen Shao Shui could not help but exclaim as he observed Duan Ling Tian. "Seems like you really did have some great encounters… You're already at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage now," Duan Ling Tian said as he looked into Chen Shao Shuai's eyes. He had extended his Spiritual Energy out earlier and detected that Chen Shao Shui's current cultivation base was at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage. Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he found out. "You can see through my cultivation base in just a glance... You really live up to your name," Chen Shao Shuai exclaimed. He did not seem surprised. "But so what if I'm at the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage? I still can't compare to you. You're so great now. Not only did you become prince charming to all the women in the border, but you're also the Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, a first-rate force!" "I heard you killed the old Peak Master of Yang Sect from Yin Yang Sect, Yang Hong… From what I know, Yang Hong was the best among all the Eighth Level Martial Monarchs." Chen Shao Shuai's gaze turned more and more complicated as he spoke. He remembered Duan Ling Tian was a total monster back when they were at the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. His journey was tough after they parted ways at the Darkstone Empire. He had some great encounters that allowed him to elevate his cultivation base. He was traveling before he crossed the Ruo Shui River and arrived at the Inner Land, the central zone of Cloud Continent, where many powerhouses gather. Initially, he thought Duan Ling Tian would be far behind him now. However, the news he heard shocked him. Ling Tian Sect! In the beginning, he thought the Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, Duan Ling Tian, merely had the same name as the monster he knew back in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. However, his instinct told him there was a high possibility that this Duan Ling Tian was the monster he knew. That was the reason he came here. He wanted to dispel his doubts. The truth proved that his instinct was right. The Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect, Duan Ling Tian, was the same friend he knew back in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. "You're really up-to-date with the news." Duan Ling Tian smiled. He was in a good mood seeing his old friend again. "Do I really need to be up-to-date to hear about the news?" Chen Shao Shuai rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian. "You're a famous person in the border now… I heard many single virgins are planning to join your Ling Tian Sect." "I'm sure you know what their objectives are… The drinker's heart is not in the cup [1]," Chen Shao Shuai said with a smirk. "Oh, right. You left with Luo Zhan back then… Did both of you part ways after that?" Duan Ling Tian ignored Chen Shao Shuai's words completely and steered the topic in a different direction. Duan Ling Tian's harmless words made Chen Shao Shui shudder. The expression on his face turned ugly. "What's wrong?" Duan Ling Tian turned solemn. An ominous feeling rose from within. "Luo Zhan's dead!" Chen Shao Shuai finally spoke. His voice was gloomy and subdued. Dead! Duan Ling Tian's expression changed drastically as he narrowed his eyes. "What happened? How did he die?" Luo Zhan or Crazy Young Master was the leader of the five great Young Masters of Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom back then. They were close friends. He was the grandson of the Guild Master of the Weapons Craftsmen Guild's Main Guild in the Azure Forest Imperial. He had helped Duan Ling Tian a lot. It was difficult for him to imagine how agonizing it must be for the old man when he heard about Luo Zhan's death. "It's my fault." Nobody knew when tears began to stream down Chen Shao Shuai's face as his body trembled. "Luo Zhan and I were heading north at that time… We passed by the Darkhan Dynasty and Darming Dynasty before eventually arriving at the northern desert land." "We continued on with our journey after leaving the northern desert land… By fate, we came across the secret treasure left behind by a Martial Emperor. We managed to successfully enter the place." "We found many treasures when we were in there like Spirit Fruits, Concept Fragments, and Profundity Fragments. We obtained many of those things, but we also encountered at least ten Inscription Formations." "However, we activated the last Inscription Formation left behind by the Martial Emperor powerhouse just as we were leaving. It was a Killing Formation!" "Luo Zhan discovered the Killing Formation first and pushed me out of the range of the formation… He missed the opportunity to escape because of that and was killed by the Killing Formation!" Chen Shao Shuai's face turned a little ferocious as he spoke to this point. "If it wasn't for saving me, he wouldn't be dead… He would be alive!" "Luo Zhan." Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and closed his eyes slowly. Based on Sword Young Master Chen Shao Shui's words, if Luo Zhan was still alive, his current ability would not be inferior to Duan Ling Tian. "Don't beat yourself up… Since Luo Zhan saved you, you have to live well for his sake," Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Chen Shao Shuai who was obviously in pain. "I know… I'll live well and do the things he wanted to do but never had a chance to. Hopefully, he'll be able to rest in peace." Chen Shao Shuai nodded. His chaotic emotion calmed down because of this. "So what do you plan to do now?" Duan Ling Tian asked. "I've no idea… I've just arrived in the Inner Land not too long ago." Chen Shao Shuai shook his head. "Why don't you stay in my Ling Tian Sect? I'll grant you the position of an elder," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. "A Ling Tian Sect's elder?" Chen Shao Shuai's eyes lit up when he heard that. "That's interesting… Sure! I'll stay at your Ling Tian Sect for now." "You can stay at Ling Tian Sect… But, I'll need you to make an oath," Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Chen Shao Shuai cautiously. Back when they were in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he remembered Chen Shao Shuai would spend most of his time at brothels. He would not be satisfied without women. Half of Ling Tian Sect consisted of female disciples. Duan Ling Tian did not want Chen Shao Shuai to do anything humiliating in his Ling Tian Sect. "What oath should I make?" Chen Shao Shuai was stunned. He forced a smile and rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian at the same time when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. "I won't misbehave in Ling Tian Sect no matter how much I desire a lady… I'll have to take care of your reputation even if I don't care about mine." "It's good that you think like that." Duan Ling Tian nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go. I'll introduce you to some people," Duan Ling Tian said to Chen Shao Shuai before he brought him to meet Feng Tian Wu, Xiong Quan, and Gold Thug. It was worth mentioning that Chen Shao Shuai stared unabashedly at Feng Tian Wu for ten breaths time when he met her. Feng Tian Wu was just too stunning with her beautiful face. He only stopped staring at her after he discovered Feng Tian Wu's eyes were on Duan Ling Tian all the time. 'So she's Duan Ling Tian's woman.' Chen Shao Shui was secretly envious. "I'll bring him to see Luo Ping." Duan Ling Tian left with Chen Shao Shuai to look for Luo Ping after informing Feng Tian Wu and the other two. Although Luo Ping was only one of Ling Tian Sect's three Vice Sect Masters, she was undoubtedly Duan Ling Tian's most trustworthy Vice Sect Master. She was responsible for all the daily major and minor matters in the Ling Tian Sect. She was the only Vice Sect Master who could represent Duan Ling Tian. After leaving Chen Shao Shuai with Luo Ping, Duan Ling Tian returned to Feng Tian Wu and the other two. "Both of you, spread the news… Tell people that Ling Tian Sect is recruiting grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists." "Yes, Young Master." "Yes, Master." Xiong Quan and Gold Thug left after they replied Duan Ling Tian. "I'm afraid no grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists would be willing to come if you spread the news this way," Feng Tian Wu said softly to Duan Ling Tian after Xiong Quan and Gold Thug left. The frost on her face had melted a little. "I know… That why we've something more important to handle," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. "Something more important?" Feng Tian Wu was happy when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words even though she was a little skeptical. He wanted her to handle the most important thing. It proved that she held a high position in Duan Ling Tian's heart. "You'll find out very soon." Duan Ling Tian smiled and left her in suspense. Soon after, he left the Ling Tian Sect together with Feng Tian Wu. He was bringing Feng Tian Wu to deal with the most important thing now.

That’s too shocking!”\nFollowing that, he thought of an important question. Exactly what era was the Willow Deity from? Could it be that it personally witnessed the things it spoke of?\nIf this was true, then this thunder-stricken lightning would truly be terrifying beyond belief.\n“Willow Deity, did you personally witness this in the past?” The devilish brat carefully phrased his words, but how could his intentions not be noticed by the Willow Deity.\nThe charred black tree was quiet. Ten or so green and lush branches danced in the wind. It was peaceful and without movement as it replied, “It was something I heard.”\nThe devilish brat’s large eyes moved around. The opposing party’s response was a bit too ordinary, almost as if it wasn’t willing to say to much. It made him rather suspicious.\n“What kind of thing was this small pagoda originally? Why does it have such a past?” He asked, because he wanted to know more.\n“Those years are too far in the past, and they are difficult to trace back to. Knowing too much won’t help you much, and might even put you in danger. You just need to know that it is a formidable item. It is a precious artifact that possesses a truly unrivalled divine might.” The Willow Deity replied.\nIt was extremely serious, and its words carried a hint of prestige. It warned him with a serious tone that there were certain things that were not good to dig too deep into. Otherwise, it might lead to a life-endangering calamity.\nThe little guy was in a difficult situation. He truly didn’t find this small pagoda dangerous at all. Was this sparkling and translucent small pagoda really going to take his life to silence him?\n“It lost a large portion of its body. The pagoda is several layers smaller than before.” Right at this time, the Willow Deity once again spoke, saying, “It’s form is a bit different.”\nWhen this little guy heard this, he was immediately shocked. He placed the small pagoda in the center of his palm and carefully looked it over. There were only four layers, and it was extremely beautiful and bright. He didn’t notice any imperfections, and it did not occur to him at all before that it could have been damaged.\nNo wonder even the Willow Deity didn’t recognize the small pagoda when he returned to Stone Village. Its form actually changed.\nSoon after, the little guy recalled what happened within the Hundred Shattering Mountains. The small pagoda once used phoenix fire to refine itself, trying to restore its body and improve its condition.\nSecond Baldy and the big red bird’s saliva were spilling everywhere as they stared at that small pagoda. If it wasn’t because of how savage that devilish brat was, they really would have stole it.\nHairy ball was like a thief as it jumped onto the little guy’s shoulder and slid down into his wrist. It once again hugged the small pagoda, but this time it did not bite it, because it had done so not long ago only to hurt its teeth.\nQingfeng was extremely happy and felt glad for his small big brother. With this kind of supreme treasure in his hands, if he was able to use it in the future, he would be able to defeat anything before him.\nIn the end, they once again returned to their original question: the little guy asking for the Willow Deity’s help. He wanted the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s wing and the Qiong Qi’s claw, but they had all been devoured by the small pagoda. It seemed as if it wouldn’t release it no matter what, making him extremely unreconciled.\n“It might be too difficult to do so. It has absorbed the essence and used it to refine itself. In the end, we might only be able to extract a small amount,” the Willow Deity said.\nThe little guy was discontent. He once again began to chew on the small pagoda to vent his anger. Those were pure blooded creatures’ blood essence and precious bones! The inherent value contained in them were too high, and any small portion released into the world would instill great waves.\nSecond Baldy and the big red bird were tensed up. They really wanted to try the taste of a pure-blooded creature, but they also knew that the chances of that happening wasn’t high.\nRustling sounds rang out, and some white powder fell down. They looked like snowflakes, and this sight made the little guy cry out miserably. It was obvious that the small pagoda was digesting the bone essence and was spitting out a portion of the leftovers.\n“These are the bone fragments of pure-blooded creatures, and can be used as medicinal primer. It is priceless.” Second Baldy spoke. This time, the amount of powder was great, making its its eyes light up as it quickly used something to catch it.\nA willow branch reached out and wrapped itself around the jade-like small pagoda. It gently swayed, and an array of symbols spread out. In addition, a strange and mysterious sound was emitted.\nsound, two pieces of flesh fell out. They were extremely huge, and were several thousand jin in weight. Essence energy surged, and it was as if two divine depositories appeared.\nSecond Baldy and the big red bird’s eyes immediately reddened, and they really wanted to jump over. The little guy was also stupefied. There was clearly a mountain sized wing and claw before, yet why was there so little left over?\nThe Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’ flesh began to flicker with dark light, and the Qiong Qi’s flesh burst with scarlet multicolored light. They were both extremely shocking, and there was a fluctuation being emitted from them that made people feel intimidated.\n“Fetch two jade containers. I will help you refine them.” The Willow Deity spoke.\nThe little guy snapped back to reality and quickly took out two sparkling jade containers. They were both sculpted out of the highest quality jade, and could be used to store precious medicines as well as other valuables.\nTwo willow branches were lowered. They stabbed themselves into the pieces, releasing dazzling multicolored light from the green and lush branches. They were filled with auspicious and peaceful energy as they emitted waves of sound.\nThese two tender branches interweaved, appearing mysterious and unordinary. In just a split second, the pure-blooded creatures’ flesh were practically completely refined, turning into the most foundational essence.\nThe flesh lost their luster, and became like dried up fossils. However, there was a single drop of black jade-like liquid rolling. This was the concentrated form of the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s blood essence. On another branch, a drop of scarlet liquid was flickering. It was like a blood diamond, and was extremely brilliant.\nSeveral thousand jin of flesh quickly lost their luster. Even though there was still a large amount of divinity and primal force contained within them, the Willow Deity did not continue refining them.\nA willow branch wrapped itself around the small pagoda. It continued to sway, and in the end, there were two pieces of several thousand jin flesh that fell. They were the Southern Meteorite Divine Mountain and Mount Yi creatures’ flesh.\nIt was clear that they weren’t originally humanoid creatures. From the pieces of flesh that remained they could see what the original bodies were like.\nThe Willow Deity used the same method. It extended two emerald-green branches that entered the two pieces of powerful flesh. The refinement began, and the divine liquid was extracted.\nThe little guy quickly lifted up the two jade containers, waiting in expectation.\nThe willow branch was brilliant and carried an endless amount of diving might. It could even refine the flesh of pure-blooded creatures. It seemed like in just a split second, a golden drop of liquid appeared on the tender branch. The dazzling drop rolled down the branch. On the other branch, a drop of pure white liquid appeared. Waves of radiance rippled outwards from it.\nThe two drops of liquid emitted magnificent multicolored light. Their divine characteristics undulated greatly, and it was as if they penetrated through space itself. They flew out, shocking everyone.\nThe little guy was joyous. He was incomparably happy as he looked at these four small jade containers. This was concentrated pure-blood. It’s divine characteristics were terrifying, and from time to time lightning would be emitted too. It was a shocking sight.\nThe big red bird and Second Baldy were completely stupefied. Even Hairy Ball’s eyes were round as it carefully observed.\nEven though there were only four small drops, they were countless times more valuable than a pile of precious medicine. This refined divine liquid was a type of concentrated essence.\nTen Archaic descendants weren’t even comparable to the four small divine liquid drops in the small containers. If these were out in the open market, it would definitely create chaos.\nSecond Baldy and the big red bird watched keenly, but they knew that these drops had nothing to do with them. They had already heard the Willow Deity say that they were going to be used for the devilish brat’s baptism, and so these were merely the preparations for that event.\nSecond Baldy swallowed its saliva asked while looking at the several jin of lusterless flesh, “Do you still need this flesh?”\n“I do not need it anymore.” The Willow Deity spoke.\nWithout waiting for the little guy to say anything, the big red bird and Second Baldy both got up and pounced. They moved as soon as the Willow Deity spoke, disappearing like a wisp of smoke.\n“Where are you guys going? Go look for Hushen so we can make a large feast for everyone.” The little guy shouted from behind.\nsou\nsound, Hairy Ball chased after them. It directly jumped on top of the meat mountain, waiting for the barbecue.\n“Will the Willow Deity help Qingfeng carry out a baptism too?” The little guy asked.\n“Let’s allow him to refine his body first.” The Willow Deity replied, but did not actually refuse.\nIn the following days, the little guy spent all his time refining his body and cultivating his symbols. He wanted to adjust his body to its peak condition. The Willow Deity had already said that he could carry out the baptism soon.\nHonglonglong The field began to shake. The little guy began to run while carrying a hundred thousand jin boulder. The scene was a bit terrifying; the ground was being cracked and the crevices extended outwards.\nIn the end, his feet directly caved into the ground.\nThe big red bird was a bit scared after seeing this. Was this still the strength of a human? This was just a child, yet he was carrying a mountain while running. This was absolutely terrifying.\nThe little guy emerged from the ground. He ran far away and carried back countless giant boulders, placing them on the plains to replace the earth there. Then, he once again began to carry hundred thousand jin boulders to train his strength, but in the end it didn’t help him at all.\nWhen he ran, the rocky ground would all develop cracks and split open. It couldn’t support his terrifying strength.\nHe left this place and entered the primitive mountains to cultivate. He directly leapt from one mountaintop to the next. Smoke and dust soared into the air, and each time it was as if a giant was displaying its might. The mountain peaks were split open by his two legs.\nWhen Stone Village’s hunting party saw this sight, they all became dumbstruck. Why did this child seem like he was becoming more and more scary? No wonder he could bring back so many heaven defying things.\nQingfeng was also constantly tempering his own body. When he saw the little guy, he was speechless. When he found him later, he said, “Little big brother, you can enter the Void God Realm again. Two years have passed already.”\nWhen the little guy heard this, he nodded. His heart was ignited, because he always wanted to enter again.\n“What? Void God Realm?! I want to go too!” After they returned to the village, Ermeng, Pihou, snot baby and a large group of people were stirred up after hearing the little guy ask the Willow Deity for this favor. They all began to clamor about.\nThey never exited the primitive mountain ranges, and would at most see a few villages within the great mountains. They truly longed for the opportunity to encounter the outside world.\n“Let me take a look first, and then we can go together and stir up more trouble,” the little guy said. He wanted to discretely take a look at the situation.\nThe Willow Deity was not opposed to this. It had always wanted the little guy to sharpen himself there, but unfortunately, last time he was too crazy. He only entered for a single day, yet he completely threw everything into disorder. Even the Void God Realm couldn’t handle him anymore and expelled him.\n“Child, go and take a careful look at the situation. Later on, uncle will go with you as well.” Shi Linghu and the other group of robust men also looked forward to this event.\nThe little guy immediately got a headache. He nodded soon after.\nNo one knew just how strong the Willow Deity was currently, but ten of its green and lush branches suddenly rose. They directly pierced into the heavens, and symbols began to densely occupy this area, creating a door.\nThe little guy sat under the scorched black tree trunk. He didn’t feel as if his essence energy was being separated from his flesh, but rather as if his entire body completely disappeared from his original position as he stepped through that gate. Multicolored light was flickering, and the sound of thunder roared within that gate.\nThe primal chaos’ mist was hazy. The little guy quickly ran forward, directly charging through the vast ruins.

第二百零二章 小不点瞪圆大眼，嘴巴张成了“”型，这不足一寸高的洁白小塔来头这么大？ 未免太惊人了！ 而后，他想到了一个严重的问题，柳神是到底什么年代的生灵，它所说的事，难道是亲眼所见？ 如果是这样的话，这株通天的雷击木可真要吓死人了。 “柳神，当初你是亲眼目睹的吗？” 熊孩子旁敲侧击，但是他的小心思怎能瞒过柳神。 焦黑的树体寂静，十几根绿莹莹的嫩条随风而舞，它平静而无波澜，道：“听说的。” 熊孩子大眼转动，对方的回答有点平淡，似乎不愿多说什么，令他一阵狐疑。 “这座小塔最开始属于何人，曾有过怎样的过去？” 他询问，想知道更多。 “岁月太悠远，难以追溯，了解太多对你没有什么好处，也许还会有危险。 你只需要知道这件东西了不得就可以了，是一件真正的神威盖世的宝具。” 柳神答道。 而且，它很郑重，话语中带着一丝威严，严肃的告诫他，有些事不要去探根底，不然可能会有杀身大祸。 小不点挠头，真没觉得小塔危险啊，难道这个晶莹透亮的小饰物还会杀他灭口？ “它缺失了部分，塔身比原来少了几层。” 就在这时，柳神再次开口，道：“样子有些不一样了。” 小不点闻言一惊，将小塔放在掌心中，低头观看，而今只有四层。 瑰美而透亮，看不出什么残缺，想不到竟然不完整。 难怪他刚回石村时，带着小塔在身边。 连柳神都没有认出，它的样子竟然变了。 很快，小不点又想到了在百断山中的事，小塔曾引地凰火淬炼己身。 二秃子、大红鸟的口水都是哗哗地，盯着那洁白的小塔，如果不是那熊孩子太凶残，它们真想洗劫。 毛球贼头贼脑，跳到小不点的肩头，滑落他的手腕上，再次抱住小塔，但这次没敢咬。 不久前它啃了半天。 清风很高兴。 为小哥哥感觉开心，有这样一件至宝在手中，将来若是能催动。 必然可以纵横天下，所向披靡。 又回到了原来的问题上，小不点请柳神帮忙，他想要吞天雀的翅膀、穷奇的爪臂，可都被这小塔吞进去了，死活不肯放出来，他很不甘心。 “多半难了，它汲取精华，淬炼己身，最终也许只能坠落出那么一点吧。” 柳神道。 小不点愤懑，再次抓住小塔开始咬，进行泄愤。 那可是纯血生灵的精血与宝骨，价值太大了，任何一小块放在外界都要引发滔天波澜。 二秃子还有大红鸟心中紧张，很想尝尝纯血生灵的滋味，但却知道希望不大。 簌簌声传来，一些雪白的粉末飘落，宛若雪花般，这让小不点惨叫，显然小塔消化骨之精华，此时吐出了部分碎屑。 “这是纯血生灵的骨粉，可以做药引子，价值连城。” 二秃子开口，这一次的粉末量很大，让它眼睛发亮，快速找来一个器皿接着。 一根柳条探下，卷起羊脂玉般的小塔，轻轻摇动，秩序符文迷蒙，而且在发出一种神秘的声音。 “噗通”一声，两块血肉坠落，非常巨大，足有数千斤重，精气澎湃，宛若两座神藏出世。 二秃子还有大红鸟的眼睛当时就红了，恨不得立刻扑上去。 而小不点也发呆，明明如山岳那么巨大的翅膀与爪臂，怎么就剩下这么一点了。 吞天雀的血肉闪烁乌光，穷奇的血肉则迸发赤霞，都很慑人，有一种至强的波动在扩散，令人生畏。 “取两个玉瓶，我帮你炼化掉。” 柳神开口。 小不点惊醒，快速掏出两个玉罐，皆剔透晶莹，是以最好的灵玉雕琢而成，可以用来贮存宝药等。 两根柳条探下，分别扎进两块血肉中，而后开始闪烁炫目的霞光，绿莹莹，充满了祥和气，发出阵阵道音。 这两根嫩条皆被符文缭绕，神秘而非凡，仅一瞬间而已，便成功将纯血生灵的肉块淬炼的差不多了，化出了最本源的精华。 血肉失去光泽，宛若风干成的化石。 而其中一根柳条上，有一滴墨玉般的液体在滚动，这是吞天雀的精血浓缩而成的。 另一根柳条上，一滴赤色的液体闪烁，像是血钻般，非常的灿烂。 数千斤的血肉失去了光泽，虽然还有大量神性源力，但却不被柳神所看重了，没有继续炼化。 一根柳条缠住小塔，继续摇动，接着又有两块数千斤的血肉坠落，属于南陨神山与嶷山的生灵的血肉。 显然，它们并非真正的人形生物，可是由于眼下所剩下的血肉过少，已经看不出本体到底什么样子。 柳神以同样的方法，探出两根翠绿的枝条，没入两块至强的血肉中，开始炼化，汲取神液。 小不点赶紧又准备了两个玉罐，充满了期待。 几乎一瞬间而已，一根嫩枝上就出现一滴金色的液体，在那里滚动，璀璨夺目。 而另一条嫩枝上则出现一滴洁白的液体，光辉如波纹般扩散，非常神圣。 两滴液体都散发炽盛霞光，神性波动剧烈，宛若可以洞穿虚空，飞天而去，极其惊人。 液滴落罐，流动蒙蒙宝辉。 小不点喜悦，看着四个小玉罐，他开心无比，这是浓缩的纯血，神性力量恐怖，不时有电闪雷鸣发出。 甚是惊人。 大红鸟与二秃子彻底惊呆了，就是毛球也瞪圆了眼睛，仔细的看着。 虽然只是四小滴液体，但是却比一堆宝药都要贵重无数倍。 这淬炼出的神性液体，是浓缩的精华。 数十头太古遗种也比不上这四个小罐子内的神液价值高，若是流传到外界去，一定会引发暴乱。 二秃子与大红鸟眼巴巴的看着。 但是却知道，肯定没它们什么事，因为那株神树说过，要给熊孩子进行洗礼，这是在做准备呢。 二秃子咽了一口唾液，看着地上早已失去光泽的几千斤肉，问道：“这些血肉还要吗？” “不需要了。” 柳神开口。 不等小不点说什么，大红鸟与二秃子抬起来就跑，速度那叫一个快。 几乎一溜烟就没影了。 去找虎婶。 给大家做一顿大餐。” 小不点在后方喊道。 “嗖”的一声。 毛球也追了下去，直接就跳上那座肉山，静等吃烤肉。 “柳神能帮清风也进行洗礼吗？” 小不点问道。 “先让他熬炼身体吧。” 柳神回应。 在接下来的日子里，小不点每天都在锤炼肉身。 修行符文，他要将自己调整到最佳状态。 一片平原上在地震，小不点背负着数十万斤的一块巨石，在大地上奔跑，景象有点吓人，那大地全都崩开了，裂缝蔓延。 最后，他直接沉陷了下去。 “变态啊！” 大红鸟等看的有点心惊肉跳，这还是人力吗？ 一个孩子而已，居然背着一座石山在奔跑，恐怖的吓人。 小不点从泥土中钻出，跑到远处，背来无数的巨石，铺在平原上，取代泥土，而后再次背起数十万斤的巨石练力气，结果还是不行。 当他奔跑起来时，岩石地面都被蹬裂了，而后崩开，承载不住他的可怕力量。 他离开这里，进入原始山脉中修行，从一座山头直接跃向另一座山头，烟尘冲天，每一次都像是一个巨人在发威，山峰被他的双脚生生震裂。 石村的狩猎队伍见到这一幕，全都发呆，这孩子怎么越来越吓人了，难怪能带回来那么多逆天的宝物。 清风也一直在锤炼己身，看的直咋舌，而后寻到他，道：“小哥哥，你其实可以进虚神界，两年时间过去，能再次进入了。” 小不点闻言点头，他心中火热，一直想再次进去。 进虚神界，我们也要去！” 当回到石村后，小不点去求柳神时，二猛、皮猴、鼻涕娃等一大群人都激动了，全都嗷嗷的叫着。 他们从来没有走出过原始山脉，最多也就是看到大山中的几个村落而已，无比的渴望，想接触外面的世界。 “我先去看一眼，然后我们再一起去，搅一起滔天风云。” 小不点道，他想先去悄悄地看一看情况。 柳神并不反对，它一直希望小不点在那里多加磨砺，可惜上次他太奇葩了，刚进去一天而已，就惹出一堆乱子，连虚神界都受不了他，最后给驱逐了。 “娃子，仔细去看一看情况，到时候大叔也跟你一起去。” 石林虎等一群壮年男子也都有些期待。 小不点一阵头大，而后连忙点头。 而今的柳树比以前也不知道强大了多少，十几根绿莹莹的枝条突然暴涨，而后直接击穿了苍穹，符文密布，那里显化出一个门户。 小不点盘坐的焦黑的树体下，感觉精气神并未与肉身分开，像是整体自原地消失了，踏进了那片曦光闪烁、电闪雷鸣的门户中。 “嗷……”熊孩子当即就大叫了一声，心中非常的激动。 混沌雾霭迷蒙，小不点快速向前奔跑，直接闯入一片浩大的废墟中，与古国的人所进入的地方不一样。 他需要闯过这片充满断壁残垣、到处都是瓦砾的古迹，才能真正进入初始地，再由那里去各大洞天福地。 熊孩子嗷嗷的叫着，内心激动而有兴奋。
Chapter 202 - Pure Blood The little guy’s eyes became round, and his mouth was wide open. “This tiny pagoda isn’t even an inch tall but actually possess such an amazing background? That’s too shocking!” Following that, he thought of an important question. Exactly what era was the Willow Deity from? Could it be that it personally witnessed the things it spoke of? If this was true, then this thunder-stricken lightning would truly be terrifying beyond belief. “Willow Deity, did you personally witness this in the past?” The devilish brat carefully phrased his words, but how could his intentions not be noticed by the Willow Deity. The charred black tree was quiet. Ten or so green and lush branches danced in the wind. It was peaceful and without movement as it replied, “It was something I heard.” The devilish brat’s large eyes moved around. The opposing party’s response was a bit too ordinary, almost as if it wasn’t willing to say to much. It made him rather suspicious. “What kind of thing was this small pagoda originally? Why does it have such a past?” He asked, because he wanted to know more. “Those years are too far in the past, and they are difficult to trace back to. Knowing too much won’t help you much, and might even put you in danger. You just need to know that it is a formidable item. It is a precious artifact that possesses a truly unrivalled divine might.” The Willow Deity replied. It was extremely serious, and its words carried a hint of prestige. It warned him with a serious tone that there were certain things that were not good to dig too deep into. Otherwise, it might lead to a life-endangering calamity. The little guy was in a difficult situation. He truly didn’t find this small pagoda dangerous at all. Was this sparkling and translucent small pagoda really going to take his life to silence him? “It lost a large portion of its body. The pagoda is several layers smaller than before.” Right at this time, the Willow Deity once again spoke, saying, “It’s form is a bit different.” When this little guy heard this, he was immediately shocked. He placed the small pagoda in the center of his palm and carefully looked it over. There were only four layers, and it was extremely beautiful and bright. He didn’t notice any imperfections, and it did not occur to him at all before that it could have been damaged. No wonder even the Willow Deity didn’t recognize the small pagoda when he returned to Stone Village. Its form actually changed. Soon after, the little guy recalled what happened within the Hundred Shattering Mountains. The small pagoda once used phoenix fire to refine itself, trying to restore its body and improve its condition. Second Baldy and the big red bird’s saliva were spilling everywhere as they stared at that small pagoda. If it wasn’t because of how savage that devilish brat was, they really would have stole it. Hairy ball was like a thief as it jumped onto the little guy’s shoulder and slid down into his wrist. It once again hugged the small pagoda, but this time it did not bite it, because it had done so not long ago only to hurt its teeth. Qingfeng was extremely happy and felt glad for his small big brother. With this kind of supreme treasure in his hands, if he was able to use it in the future, he would be able to defeat anything before him. In the end, they once again returned to their original question: the little guy asking for the Willow Deity’s help. He wanted the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s wing and the Qiong Qi’s claw, but they had all been devoured by the small pagoda. It seemed as if it wouldn’t release it no matter what, making him extremely unreconciled. “It might be too difficult to do so. It has absorbed the essence and used it to refine itself. In the end, we might only be able to extract a small amount,” the Willow Deity said. The little guy was discontent. He once again began to chew on the small pagoda to vent his anger. Those were pure blooded creatures’ blood essence and precious bones! The inherent value contained in them were too high, and any small portion released into the world would instill great waves. Second Baldy and the big red bird were tensed up. They really wanted to try the taste of a pure-blooded creature, but they also knew that the chances of that happening wasn’t high. Rustling sounds rang out, and some white powder fell down. They looked like snowflakes, and this sight made the little guy cry out miserably. It was obvious that the small pagoda was digesting the bone essence and was spitting out a portion of the leftovers. “These are the bone fragments of pure-blooded creatures, and can be used as medicinal primer. It is priceless.” Second Baldy spoke. This time, the amount of powder was great, making its its eyes light up as it quickly used something to catch it. A willow branch reached out and wrapped itself around the jade-like small pagoda. It gently swayed, and an array of symbols spread out. In addition, a strange and mysterious sound was emitted. sound, two pieces of flesh fell out. They were extremely huge, and were several thousand jin in weight. Essence energy surged, and it was as if two divine depositories appeared. Second Baldy and the big red bird’s eyes immediately reddened, and they really wanted to jump over. The little guy was also stupefied. There was clearly a mountain sized wing and claw before, yet why was there so little left over? The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’ flesh began to flicker with dark light, and the Qiong Qi’s flesh burst with scarlet multicolored light. They were both extremely shocking, and there was a fluctuation being emitted from them that made people feel intimidated. “Fetch two jade containers. I will help you refine them.” The Willow Deity spoke. The little guy snapped back to reality and quickly took out two sparkling jade containers. They were both sculpted out of the highest quality jade, and could be used to store precious medicines as well as other valuables. Two willow branches were lowered. They stabbed themselves into the pieces, releasing dazzling multicolored light from the green and lush branches. They were filled with auspicious and peaceful energy as they emitted waves of sound. These two tender branches interweaved, appearing mysterious and unordinary. In just a split second, the pure-blooded creatures’ flesh were practically completely refined, turning into the most foundational essence. The flesh lost their luster, and became like dried up fossils. However, there was a single drop of black jade-like liquid rolling. This was the concentrated form of the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s blood essence. On another branch, a drop of scarlet liquid was flickering. It was like a blood diamond, and was extremely brilliant. Several thousand jin of flesh quickly lost their luster. Even though there was still a large amount of divinity and primal force contained within them, the Willow Deity did not continue refining them. A willow branch wrapped itself around the small pagoda. It continued to sway, and in the end, there were two pieces of several thousand jin flesh that fell. They were the Southern Meteorite Divine Mountain and Mount Yi creatures’ flesh. It was clear that they weren’t originally humanoid creatures. From the pieces of flesh that remained they could see what the original bodies were like. The Willow Deity used the same method. It extended two emerald-green branches that entered the two pieces of powerful flesh. The refinement began, and the divine liquid was extracted. The little guy quickly lifted up the two jade containers, waiting in expectation. The willow branch was brilliant and carried an endless amount of diving might. It could even refine the flesh of pure-blooded creatures. It seemed like in just a split second, a golden drop of liquid appeared on the tender branch. The dazzling drop rolled down the branch. On the other branch, a drop of pure white liquid appeared. Waves of radiance rippled outwards from it. The two drops of liquid emitted magnificent multicolored light. Their divine characteristics undulated greatly, and it was as if they penetrated through space itself. They flew out, shocking everyone. The little guy was joyous. He was incomparably happy as he looked at these four small jade containers. This was concentrated pure-blood. It’s divine characteristics were terrifying, and from time to time lightning would be emitted too. It was a shocking sight. The big red bird and Second Baldy were completely stupefied. Even Hairy Ball’s eyes were round as it carefully observed. Even though there were only four small drops, they were countless times more valuable than a pile of precious medicine. This refined divine liquid was a type of concentrated essence. Ten Archaic descendants weren’t even comparable to the four small divine liquid drops in the small containers. If these were out in the open market, it would definitely create chaos. Second Baldy and the big red bird watched keenly, but they knew that these drops had nothing to do with them. They had already heard the Willow Deity say that they were going to be used for the devilish brat’s baptism, and so these were merely the preparations for that event. Second Baldy swallowed its saliva asked while looking at the several jin of lusterless flesh, “Do you still need this flesh?” “I do not need it anymore.” The Willow Deity spoke. Without waiting for the little guy to say anything, the big red bird and Second Baldy both got up and pounced. They moved as soon as the Willow Deity spoke, disappearing like a wisp of smoke. “Where are you guys going? Go look for Hushen so we can make a large feast for everyone.” The little guy shouted from behind. sou sound, Hairy Ball chased after them. It directly jumped on top of the meat mountain, waiting for the barbecue. “Will the Willow Deity help Qingfeng carry out a baptism too?” The little guy asked. “Let’s allow him to refine his body first.” The Willow Deity replied, but did not actually refuse. In the following days, the little guy spent all his time refining his body and cultivating his symbols. He wanted to adjust his body to its peak condition. The Willow Deity had already said that he could carry out the baptism soon. Honglonglong The field began to shake. The little guy began to run while carrying a hundred thousand jin boulder. The scene was a bit terrifying; the ground was being cracked and the crevices extended outwards. In the end, his feet directly caved into the ground. The big red bird was a bit scared after seeing this. Was this still the strength of a human? This was just a child, yet he was carrying a mountain while running. This was absolutely terrifying. The little guy emerged from the ground. He ran far away and carried back countless giant boulders, placing them on the plains to replace the earth there. Then, he once again began to carry hundred thousand jin boulders to train his strength, but in the end it didn’t help him at all. When he ran, the rocky ground would all develop cracks and split open. It couldn’t support his terrifying strength. He left this place and entered the primitive mountains to cultivate. He directly leapt from one mountaintop to the next. Smoke and dust soared into the air, and each time it was as if a giant was displaying its might. The mountain peaks were split open by his two legs. When Stone Village’s hunting party saw this sight, they all became dumbstruck. Why did this child seem like he was becoming more and more scary? No wonder he could bring back so many heaven defying things. Qingfeng was also constantly tempering his own body. When he saw the little guy, he was speechless. When he found him later, he said, “Little big brother, you can enter the Void God Realm again. Two years have passed already.” When the little guy heard this, he nodded. His heart was ignited, because he always wanted to enter again. “What? Void God Realm?! I want to go too!” After they returned to the village, Ermeng, Pihou, snot baby and a large group of people were stirred up after hearing the little guy ask the Willow Deity for this favor. They all began to clamor about. They never exited the primitive mountain ranges, and would at most see a few villages within the great mountains. They truly longed for the opportunity to encounter the outside world. “Let me take a look first, and then we can go together and stir up more trouble,” the little guy said. He wanted to discretely take a look at the situation. The Willow Deity was not opposed to this. It had always wanted the little guy to sharpen himself there, but unfortunately, last time he was too crazy. He only entered for a single day, yet he completely threw everything into disorder. Even the Void God Realm couldn’t handle him anymore and expelled him. “Child, go and take a careful look at the situation. Later on, uncle will go with you as well.” Shi Linghu and the other group of robust men also looked forward to this event. The little guy immediately got a headache. He nodded soon after. No one knew just how strong the Willow Deity was currently, but ten of its green and lush branches suddenly rose. They directly pierced into the heavens, and symbols began to densely occupy this area, creating a door. The little guy sat under the scorched black tree trunk. He didn’t feel as if his essence energy was being separated from his flesh, but rather as if his entire body completely disappeared from his original position as he stepped through that gate. Multicolored light was flickering, and the sound of thunder roared within that gate. The primal chaos’ mist was hazy. The little guy quickly ran forward, directly charging through the vast ruins. He entered from a different place than the ancient country’s people. He needed to pass through these ruins filled that were filled with debris and ancient remnants in order to enter the true starting ground. Only then would he have access to the various great heavenly paradises. “Void God Realm, I’ve returned!” The devilish brat shouted out loud. He felt excited, and he was extremely stirred up.

He sensed that he had absorbed an enormous amount of life force, and it had all been transformed into spiritual force. Having already reached the peak, this additional energy pushed him to a breakthrough.\n[Host has advanced to rank 8! Number of rank 3 spell slots increased by 1, number of rank 2 spell slots increased by 1.]\nA few prompts jumped out all at once, and Leylin’s mouth curved up into a wide smile in response.\nConverting almost all of this Merfolk Pirate captain’s flesh had given him an increase of only 0.1 in his Spirit stat. However, it helped him break through the threshold of a rank 8 wizard, something that many low-ranking wizards on the continent couldn’t even beg for.\n‘However, it’s better not to let others know about this strange way of breaking through. Otherwise I will definitely become a public target…’ Leylin stood aside and watched the guards clear up the remnants of battle on the pirate ship.\nIn reality, after the Merfolk Pirates’ captain had died, the battle could be said to have been decided. Many Merfolk Pirates suffered a collapse in morale, and they either tried to escape from the ship or threw away their weapons and surrendered.\nLeylin did not take action again after that, but he coldly watched Isabel and the others clear up the last of the pirates.\n“This time, we don’t want prisoners. Archers get ready, kill all those pirates who jumped into the sea!” On hearing this cold command, the pirate crew’s fighting spirit grew even more fierce.\nYet Leylin showed not the slightest concern.

Although it was possible that some ranks did not entirely correspond, but on the whole Leylin believed in his own deductions and the A.I. Chip’s simulation had never been wrong. There were also no holes in its logic.\n‘Although this native body is making rapid progress, in reality my current strength is only equal to a rank 1 Magus of the Magus World…’ This comparison rendered Leylin completely speechless. It seemed that he still had a long way to go on his path to becoming strong in the World of Gods\n“Boss! We’ve cleared out this ship completely!

He didn’t seem to care about the traces of blood still left on his face.\n“It’s already finished? Have the casualties been counted yet?” Leylin had a neutral expression on his face. He had personally completely destroyed the most powerful opponents and even half of the normal crew. If his sailors couldn’t achieve victory under these circumstances, then he would need to completely reevaluate his strategy.\n“With the weapons you gave us, many comrades only received slight injuries. Three have died, and five were seriously injured. We’ve already eased their suffering and sent them on their way…” Robin Hood spoke with a trace of helplessness in his voice.\nSevere injuries on the sea were like a death sentence in this era unless one was lucky enough to have a cleric or other precious healing skills or items on them.\n“Mm, keep track of them. Calculate and distribute rewards accordingly when we’re done…” Leylin suddenly hit himself on the head. “Oh right! After we capture Half-Merfolk Island, set out again and bring the family members of the pirates who surrendered to us to the Faulen Island. Give the families of the dead ones a pension.”\nThis was really to cut off the pirates’ escape route, and grasp their family members in his palm. With this, the chance of them betraying him was now very small.\n“As you command, boss!” Robin Hood clearly understood Leylin’s intentions, and nodded vigorously, not daring to object at all.\n“If you have no objections to rank, then I know a few…” Isabel came to Leylin’s side at this moment, with a strange look in her eyes. Leylin scratched his nose, as he clearly knew why her expression was different.\nIt was easy for her to relate to what he had done before, and it was also the reason why he had ordered for there to be no captives, decisively slaughtering all the Merfolk Pirates in a hurry.\nHis subordinates, on the other hand, were still on the other ship and couldn’t see his actions across the wide sea. Even though he had left those mummified corpses, a wizard had skills which could achieve the same effect such as Absorb, Vampire’s Touch, and Life Drain, so nothing could be proven.\nAlthough this could fool Robin Hood and the others, but it definitely could not fool Isabel, who was also a follower of a devil. Her expression showed that she’d discovered something.\nHowever, they were both on the same boat. Leylin believed that Isabel wouldn’t betray him, because the church would never accept her either.\n“Take a group out to sail this battleship. We’ll go together to Half-Merfolk Island!” Under Leylin's command, they rushed to clean up the marks left by battle. The two enormous ships then sailed towards Half-Merfolk Island together.\nAt this moment, the pirates’ eyes were filled with fanaticism and emotion. After all, they knew very well that after Half-Merfolk Island had lost their entire pirate group, the defenceless girls would not be able to refuse their tyrannical advances. Also, the Merfolk Pirates had been in business for many years, and the wealth they had accumulated had made their eyes green with envy.\nBefore they reached land, Leylin gathered his troops together.\n“I’ll say this once again!” Leylin’s gaze swept across the group of pirates. Through continuous shows of power, they did not dare to betray Leylin’s slightest command, and their loyalty to him had even increased considerably.\n“We currently need their wealth and their slaves to work for us! We even need them to join us and become fresh blood. If they dare to resist us then immediately kill them without discussion, but I need captives. Understood?” In Leylin's view, the family members that survived the pirates would be very rebellious, but they would make good slaves. Even if that wasn't possible, then they could still be sold for a tidy profit; so what was the point of killing them all?\nHumans were a very valuable resource on the sea. Even island natives had special teams of slave catchers enter the jungles and brave the difficulties of disease and monsters. They would then bitterly struggle against different tribes to get their hands on some more slaves.\n“Don't worry, boss! We know what to do!” Robin Hood began to laugh, and the sound of it was an ugly as an night owl’s hoot.\nLeylin nodded, knowing how his underlings, who were like complete animals, would behave after they took over Half-Merfolk Island. Perhaps they wouldn’t murder the prisoners, but the islanders would suffer a lot of abuse.\nLeylin decided to turn a blind eye to these sort of things. In any case, an appropriate amount of deterrence was necessary, and perhaps this would be beneficial to keeping his rule over them stable. After all, pirate women didn’t have any chastity to speak of, and it was in their instinct to follow the strong…\nEagle Eye! After the spell took effect, half of the island appeared before Leylin’s eyes.\n‘Mm, it looks like there are the beginnings of a small hamlet. Not bad!’ In his field of vision was a tiny port, and next to the port there was a developing wheat field. The pirate captain that had died at his hand had some talent in running the place. Surprisingly, he knew to gather people to reclaim the wasteland, and he’d really produced results.\nIt was a shame that all of this had been so conveniently given to Leylin.\nSeeing the Merfolk battleship return, and even bringing another ship back, the port burst into an uproar. There were even people who thought that it was the Merfolk Pirates returning victoriously, and began to gather at the port to welcome them back.\nIt was not until the ship drew closer that they realised that the deck had traces of a fierce battle. The flag which represented the Mermaid Pirates had changed hands. Only then did they cry out in alarm and scatter everywhere, just like wild ducks whose nest had been disturbed.\n“Brothers, get to work!” Robin Hood’s booming voice rang out, ushering in a burst of excited cries." } ]
829.第829章 雷林收起了魔鬼血匕，感受着一股庞大的生命能量被自己吸取，又通过转化变成了精神力量。 原本达到了巅峰的精神力，在这股力量的帮助之下立即开始了突破。 【主体晋升法师八级！ 三级法术位增加1、二级法术位增加1！ 一连几个提示框接连弹跳出来，令雷林嘴角的微笑不断扩大。 虽然这次大半个人鱼海盗团的血肉能量全部转化，最后才令他的精神力增加了0.1，但却令他直接突破了八级法师的门槛，放在大陆上是多少低阶法师求都求不来的事情。 雷林负手站在一边，看着卫兵们清理着海盗船上的残余部众。 实际上，在对方的团长身死之后，这次的战斗就可以说是大局已定了，很多士气崩溃的鱼人海盗不是直接跳船逃走，就是丢下武器跪地投降。 雷林没有再次出手，而是冷眼旁观着伊莎蓓尔他们清理着残余的海盗。 “这次我们不要俘虏，弓箭手准备，将跳海的海盗全部射杀！” 伴随着冷酷的命令，令海盗船上的战斗变得更加激烈起来。 但雷林已经没有丝毫的关心了，他看着自己的数据栏，此时那里又有了新的变化。 芯片已经将重新收集的数据展示了出来。 拥有天赋：强壮、博学多才 拥有法术位：三级法术位（2）、二级法术位（4）、一级法术位（？ ？ 八级的法师并没有触碰更深层魔网的能力，给雷林最大的好处也不过是增加了两个法术位而已。 但雷林更加看重的，还是晋级之后与魔网的更深层次的沟通与权限，这势必会给芯片的攻略魔网任务带来极大的帮助。 可以说，伴随着雷林的不断晋升，芯片攻略魔网的速度也会不断加快。 到了诸神世界这么多年之后，雷林对于这边的等级计算也有了很深刻的认识。 “而二十五级的高阶传奇，则是相当于五级的辉月巫师！ 至此，整个众神世界的力量阶级，开始完整地展现在雷林面前。 虽然有些地方可能有着不符合，但大体上雷林相信自己的猜测与芯片的模拟没有任何错误与缺漏。 这种对比，令雷林很是有些无语。 现在看来，他在诸神世界当中的强者之路，简直就是任重而道远。 胜利是属于我们的了！” 这个时候，一脸兴奋，不顾脸上还有血迹的罗宾汉直接来到了雷林面前禀告说着。 “已经结束了么？ 死伤统计出来了没有？” 雷林的表情很是淡然，在他已经将对方的高等战力全灭，普通团员都干掉一半的情况之下，要是这些水手还不能获得胜利，那他都要重新考虑自己计划的可行性了。 罗宾汉说话当中带着一点无奈。 这个时代，重伤在外海几乎就等于死亡，除非刚好有牧师或者珍贵的治疗法术与药剂。 雷林说到这里，猛地一拍脑袋，“对了！ 这实际上，就是要断这些海盗的后路，将对方的家人掌握在手里，对方叛变的可能性就很小了。 头儿！” 罗宾汉显然也看出了雷林的用意，他使劲点点头，不敢有任何反对的意见。 雷林看着那些海盗将死亡的同伴海葬，不由说了一句。 这个时候，伊莎蓓尔走到了雷林旁边，看着他的眼神非常之奇怪。 雷林摸了摸鼻子，当然知道这是为了什么。 他之前那种举动很容易令人联想到什么，这也是他为什么下命令这次不要俘虏，将鱼人海盗全部赶尽杀绝的原因。 而他的那些手下，之前还在另外一条船上，隔着大海也不可能全部看清楚。 即使是干尸之类的痕迹，法术里面的【吸能术】、【吸血鬼之触】、【生命汲取】都可以做到同样的效果，因此也不能证明什么。 但即使这些可以瞒过罗宾汉等人，也绝对隐瞒不过伊莎蓓尔，毕竟对方同样也是恶魔的信徒。 只不过，现在的两人都是一条绳上的蚂蚱，雷林相信伊莎蓓尔绝对不会出卖自己，因为神殿根本不可能接受她的。 “分出一部分人手，驾驶这艘战舰，我们一起去半人鱼之岛！” 在雷林的命令之下，匆匆清理了战斗痕迹之后，两艘庞大的战船一起对着半人鱼岛进发。 这个时候的海盗们眼睛里面都充满了狂热与红丝。 毕竟他们也知道得非常清楚，在失去了整个海盗团之后，剩下来的半人鱼岛就仿佛一个没有任何防御力量的少女，根本拒绝不了他们的强横。 而人鱼海盗团多年的经营，所积累的财富，显然也令他们非常眼红。 在登陆之前，雷林将手下都召集了起来。 “我再说一遍！” 雷林的眸子扫过这群海盗，通过最近不断的立威，他们已经不敢再违背雷林的丝毫命令，甚至连忠诚度都有了不小的提升。 明白么？” 在雷林看来，即使剩下的海盗家属非常桀骜不驯，但那也是很好的奴隶，实在不行还能卖了赚一笔，又何必直接杀了呢？ 在外海，人力资源可是非常宝贵的财富，即使是那些土著，也必须专门的捕奴队冒着疾病与魔兽的困扰深入雨林，与各个部落苦苦周旋才能弄一些到手。 我们知道该怎么做！” 罗宾汉桀桀笑了起来，仿佛夜枭一样难听。 雷林点点头，知道手下这群牲口在攻陷半人鱼岛之后会发生什么事情，或许他们不会虐杀俘虏，但岛屿上面的居民恐怕少不了一番****了。 对于这种事情，雷林选择了睁一眼闭一眼，反正适当的威慑也是必须的，说不定还能有利于自己这边的统治稳固。 毕竟，作为海盗的女人可没有什么贞操观念，跟随强者而走是她们的本能。 居然有了一个小村镇的雏形了！ 不错不错！” 在他的视界当中，不远处有着一个小小的港口，港口旁边甚至还开拓出了一片麦田，显然死在他手上的那个鱼人海盗头子也有些经营才能，居然也知道收集人口开垦荒地，并且还真的给对方做出了一些成绩。 可惜，这些成果全部都要便宜了雷林。 看到半人鱼战船回来，并且还带着另外一艘海盗船之后，港口上面一阵骚动，甚至还有人以为这是外出的人鱼海盗团得胜归来，开始聚集到了港口上面迎接。 直到船只更加靠近，令他们发现了甲板上面激烈搏杀的痕迹，特别是代表着人鱼海盗团的旗帜已经易主的时候，他们才惊恐地大叫着四散逃开，仿佛一窝被掏了老巢的野鸭一样。 “兄弟们！ 干活了！”
Leylin put the Devilblood Dagger away. He sensed that he had absorbed an enormous amount of life force, and it had all been transformed into spiritual force. Having already reached the peak, this additional energy pushed him to a breakthrough. [Host has advanced to rank 8! Number of rank 3 spell slots increased by 1, number of rank 2 spell slots increased by 1.] A few prompts jumped out all at once, and Leylin’s mouth curved up into a wide smile in response. Converting almost all of this Merfolk Pirate captain’s flesh had given him an increase of only 0.1 in his Spirit stat. However, it helped him break through the threshold of a rank 8 wizard, something that many low-ranking wizards on the continent couldn’t even beg for. ‘However, it’s better not to let others know about this strange way of breaking through. Otherwise I will definitely become a public target…’ Leylin stood aside and watched the guards clear up the remnants of battle on the pirate ship. In reality, after the Merfolk Pirates’ captain had died, the battle could be said to have been decided. Many Merfolk Pirates suffered a collapse in morale, and they either tried to escape from the ship or threw away their weapons and surrendered. Leylin did not take action again after that, but he coldly watched Isabel and the others clear up the last of the pirates. “This time, we don’t want prisoners. Archers get ready, kill all those pirates who jumped into the sea!” On hearing this cold command, the pirate crew’s fighting spirit grew even more fierce. Yet Leylin showed not the slightest concern. He looked at his status window which had changed. The A.I. Chip displayed the newly collected data. [Leylin Faulen, Race: Human Rank 8 Wizard, Strength: 3.5, Vitality: 4.5, Spirit: 8, Status: Healthy, Feats: Sturdy, Erudite, Spell Slots: Rank 3(2), Rank 2(4), Rank 1(???), Rank 0(???)] A rank 8 wizard did not have the ability to access a deeper level of the Weave. The only benefits Leylin received were two more spell nodes. What was more important was that the advancement had increased his contact and authority within the deeper levels of the Weave. This was bound to be of great help to the A.I. Chip’s analysis. As Leylin continued to advance in rank, the speed of the A.I. Chip’s analysis would only increase. ‘A rank 25 peak-ranked Legend is equivalent to a Radiant Moon Magus! If it’s like this, then the divine would be equivalent to a rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus. A demi-god here would be equivalent to a semi-rank 7 Magus, which is the same rank as my original body…’ ‘The weak minor gods are the same as rank 7 Magi who have comprehended laws, and the major gods are similar to Magi who have fused laws, and are rank 8 beings like the Mother Core who’ve found their own path…’ At this point, the entire power rankings of the World of Gods began to unfold before Leylin. Although it was possible that some ranks did not entirely correspond, but on the whole Leylin believed in his own deductions and the A.I. Chip’s simulation had never been wrong. There were also no holes in its logic. ‘Although this native body is making rapid progress, in reality my current strength is only equal to a rank 1 Magus of the Magus World…’ This comparison rendered Leylin completely speechless. It seemed that he still had a long way to go on his path to becoming strong in the World of Gods “Boss! We’ve cleared out this ship completely! Victory is ours!” Just at this moment, Robin Hood appeared before Leylin and reported with a face filled with excitement. He didn’t seem to care about the traces of blood still left on his face. “It’s already finished? Have the casualties been counted yet?” Leylin had a neutral expression on his face. He had personally completely destroyed the most powerful opponents and even half of the normal crew.

Their gazes followed the direction she was pointing towards and were shocked by the next scene.\nThey had never imagined that there really would be an immortal sect within the Demon Realm. Besides the fact that the demonic aura did not infiltrate the sect, the range of mountain peaks with magnificent palaces were totally comparable to the main residences of the four aristocratic families. And not to be forgotten were all the spirit herbs planted along the way, filling up the mountains. At a closer look, any random plant picked out was at least a ten thousand-year-old supreme-grade spirit herb. Moreover, they were planted messily about—such extravagance was not seen even among the aristocratic families.\nA hidden immortal sect! This Invincible Sect was absolutely an amazing hidden immortal sect.\n“Sister Hong…” Everyone else had the same thought as well and couldn’t help but call out her name in worry.\nYu Hong grabbed the hand of the person beside her and squeezed it, then shook her head and said in a low volume, “Watch and wait to see what happens.”\nAll of them were anxious as they followed Shen Ying and the radish off the transport Dharma artifact. They followed the both of them through a big hall, and then through the rear of the hall. They passed by the courtyard and then stopped by a bed bench.\nShe laid down on it! -_-|||\nShe lay on the bed bench face down with her four limbs spread apart, having no qualms about it.\n“So tired!” She said one line and her eyes began to shut uncontrollably. Even the man named Radish looked at that scene as if it was natural before habitually digging a hole and sitting in it, looking as if he were about to sleep as well.\nWhat did this mean? Why did they suddenly not care about them? Was this an opening gambit towards the new disciples? Or was it some sort of entrance test?\nTheir little group waited for a while, but seeing that Shen Ying and radish did not seem like they were going to move, Yu Hong had no choice but to go ahead to sound her out. “Immortal Master, Immortal Master… Sect Master?”\n“Ah?” Shen Ying finally moved and looked at her with her head tilted, seemingly just remembering about them. “Oh, you guys make yourselves comfortable.”\n“…” What did that mean? “Sect Master, don’t we need to register or something?”\n“Yeah, you have to ask Father Niu about that.” He was the one who wrote the recruitment plan. “No rush. Wait till he gets back to talk about that.”\n“Then… does Sect Master need to get people to bring us to meet the rest of the sect? Since we have just joined, we are afraid of offending the seniors.”\n“The rest of the sect? Haven’t you already seen them?”\n“Already seen?!” Everyone looked at each other at a loss for words. “What do you mean, Sect Master?” When had they met them?\n“Just now on the street. Chef, Father Niu and me.” Shen Ying pointed at herself seriously, saying, “The rest of the sect!”\n“There’s no one else?” Radish was only considered half a headcount.\nThe crowd: “…”\nPutting aside the weird names, what was this about?\nSuch a large sect yet you’re telling me there are only four people?! Who are you trying to kid!\n(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻\n“We just began to recruit so there aren’t a lot of people.” Shen Ying had pondered for a bit before explaining. “Yeah, there will be more in the future.”\n“…” Yu Hong’s mouth twitched as she looked at this unreliable so-called sect master, and it took her a while before suppressing the impulse to act rashly and said, “If that’s the case… now that we have entered this sect, we hope that Sect Master will help us to make arrangements for future matters.”\n“Arrangements…” Shen Ying finally recalled that she should not just let them stand there. She climbed up and pointed toward the huge hall. “How about you guys just find a room and settle down first? Wait for Father Niu to come back to make any arrangements. This place is pretty big so staying anywhere is fine.”\nYu Hong’s heart contracted as she wondered: were they being tested? How could such a huge immortal sect allow the new disciples to barge in anywhere. Could the sect master already be suspicious of them?\nHer expression shifted for a fleeting moment before turning back to normal. Taking a deep breath, she respectfully gave a salute. “Sect Master. Although we have never joined an immortal sect before, we have heard of each sect’s rules and dare not overstep them. We are all here to pursue immortality and seek the Dao, so no matter the challenge for our acceptance, we will not be daunted. Sect Master, please give us your instructions. We will certainly go to all lengths to complete them.”\n“Er…” The girls behind Yu Hong also knelt down and said in unison, “Awaiting Sect Master’s orders.”\nWhy are they being like this? It’s not labor day. Do they really like laboring so much?\n“You all really don’t want to rest in the house?”\n“There’s no need.”\n“Are you sure?”\n“Yes!”\n“Alright then!” Shen Ying sighed, walked over and squatted in front of Yu Hong, saying earnestly, “Then… do you all know how to cook?”\nThe crowd: “…” Thus, when Lonemoon and Yi Qing returned, all they saw was a scene of seven to eight girls squeezed inside of the kitchen, working together to cook.\nLonemoon’s mouth could not stop twitching. He took a long time before reacting as it had not been so lively for a while; it was like a scene from a reunion dinner.\nHadn’t he come back only two hours late? What had happened during this time? Why had all the new disciples turned into chefs in the blink of an eye?\nThis was an immortal cultivation sect, not an immortal cultivation restaurant!\n“Sect Master, do try this bowl of sweet beancurd and see if it is to your liking?” Yu Hong passed the bowl of beancurd over with a smile.\n“Hold on!” Just as Shen Ying was about to take it, however, Yi Qing had already taken big strides to rush over angrily.\nLonemoon finally recovered from his daze. Filled with rage, he followed up quickly, “Right, Yi Qing, quickly reprimand that nonsensical Master of yours!”\n“You, newbie, how can you make it sweet? Beancurd must be eaten salty.” He glanced at the other party coldly. Yi Qing was someone who rarely flared up, yet he sneered, “You don’t even know Master’s taste yet you dare to cook so nonchalantly. Master, please wait for a while. I will make a bowl of salty ones right away!”\n“Uh… actually, sweet ones are also…” Are also fine!\nShe was neutral about it.\n“Rest assured, Master, it will be done very quick,” Yi Qing added another line earnestly as he carefully scanned the table full of dishes at the same time. After scanning each and every one of them, his expression finally relaxed before he sneered again. “Hmph. How dare you all make such dishes for Master to eat!”\n“Master, do not let these pig feed pollute your noble body. I will immediately make some new ones for you.”\n“No! It must be changed.”\n“But these are already done…”\n“Master!” He was being so loud.\n“Uh… alright. As long as you’re happy!” She suddenly felt that Chef was being a little fierce today!\nYi Qing merely turned to glance at all the people in the kitchen, yet that look alone was enough to make them feel as if a cold draught had enveloped the area, causing the whole yard’s temperature to be lowered by dozens of degrees.\n“Get out! With such standards, all of you are not qualified to enter my kitchen!” Accompanying those words was an uncontrollable burst of the suppressive aura of a Soul Formation cultivator which even contained subtle hints of Sword Qi, scaring the small group of girls into escaping and retreating from the kitchen.\n“Master, please wait!” He bowed and then quickly headed into the kitchen. Before going in, he even used the Sword Qi around him to utterly destroy all the original dishes on the table, leaving no trace of them at all.\nHmph, b*tches. Trying to snatch my Master again! Lonemoon: “…”\nF*cking retard.\nLonemoon suddenly had the urge to dissolve this partnership of theirs." } ]
第六十一章 沈萤指了指前方，唤醒了还在懵逼中的众人，她们顺着她指的方向看去，下一刻却被眼前的情景惊呆了。 没想到在妖界之中，居然还真的有个仙门。 派中妖气不侵不说，那峰顶成片华美的宫殿，就算是比起四大世家的主宅来说，也毫不逊色。 隐世仙门！ 这个无敌派绝对是隐世的大仙门。 “红姐姐……”众人也是跟她同样的想法，忍不住担忧了叫了一声。 郁红抓着身侧人的手紧了紧，连忙摇了摇头，压低声音道，“见机行事。” 众人怀着忐忑的心情，随着浓萤和萝卜落下了云头。 一路跟着他俩走过大殿，穿过后堂，来到一处庭院，并步行一张躺椅前。 她趴在了上面！ 而且还是四肢瘫开，丝毫没有半点顾忌，脸朝下趴着。 她念了一句，眼睛就开始不受控制往下搭。 就连那个叫萝卜的男子，也是一脸自然，习惯性的就地挖了个坑，坐了进去，一副也要入睡的模样。 这是啥意思？ 为什么突然不管她们了？ 对新进弟子的下马威吗？ 几人等了一会，见沈萤和萝卜半天没有挪动的意思，郁红不得不上前一步，试探的开口道，“仙师，仙师……掌门？” 沈萤终于动了动，歪着头看她一眼，似是这才想起她们来，“哦，你们随意吧。” “……”随意是什么鬼？ “掌门，我等入门不需厅登记入册之类的吗？” “嗯，这个要问牛爸爸。” “那……掌门可需要，唤人带我等前去熟识派中的同门？ 毕竟我们刚刚加入，怕冒犯了哪位前辈。” 你们不是都见过了吗？” “见过了？ ！” 众人面面相觑，“掌门何意？” 她们什么时候见过了。 “刚刚在街上啊，厨子，牛爸爸，我。” 沈萤指了指自己认真的道，“同门！” “弟子说的是其它的人。” “没了啊？” 萝卜只能算半个。 先不说那几个奇葩的名字是怎么回事？ 这么大一个门派，你跟我说只有四个人？ ！ 骗鬼呢！ “我们刚刚起步招人，人是少了点。” 沈萤想了想，解释道，“嗯，以后就多了。” “……”郁红嘴角抽了抽，看着这个哪哪都不靠谱的所谓掌门，半会才压下心底的冲动道，“既然如此……已经入门，以后诸事还望掌门安排？” “安排……”沈萤这才想起，不能让她们干站着，爬起来指了指若大的殿宇道，“要不你们随便找个房间先住下？ 等牛爸爸回来再说，这里挺大的，随便住哪间都可以的。” 郁红心下一紧，这是试探她们吗？ 这么大一个仙门，哪能容新入门的弟子乱闯，莫非她已经起疑了？ 她神色变了变，立马又恢复，深吸一口气，恭敬的上前行了一礼道，“掌门，我等虽然没有加入过仙门，但也是听闻过各派规矩的，绝对不敢逾越。 我等皆是为求仙问道而来，无论是怎么样的入门考验，都不会畏惧。 郁红身后的众妹子，也纷纷朝着她拜了下去，齐齐出声道，“但请掌门吩咐。” 干嘛呀这是，又不是五一，这么喜欢劳动吗？ “你们真的不回屋休息？” “不用。” “确定？” “确定！” “好吧！” 沈萤叹了口气，走过去蹲在了郁红面前，一本正经的道，“那……你们会做菜吗？” 于是，当孤月和羿清回来的时候，看到的就是七八个妹子，一起挤在厨房，齐心协力做饭的场景。 孤月嘴角止不住的抽搐着，半天都没从这副热闹得，宛如年夜饭般的场景中反应过来。 这中间到底发生了什么？ 为什么好好的新弟子，一眨眼全变成厨子了。 他们这是修仙门派，不是修仙饭店啊喂！ “掌门，您先尝尝这碗甜豆腐脑，看看合不合口味？” 郁红笑着把手里的碗递了过去。 沈萤刚要接过去，羿清已经一个箭步，先一步怒气冲冲的过去了。 孤月这才回过神来，心底的充斥着满腔的怒火，快步跟上，“对，羿清，快说说你这不着调的师父！” ……哈？ “你这新人，怎么可以做甜的，豆腐脑只有咸的才好吃。” 他冷冷的扫了对方一眼，难得发脾气似的冷哼了一声，“连师父的口味都不知道，也敢随意下厨。 “呃……其实甜的也……”也可以吃的啊！ 她是中立党。 “师父放心，很快的。” 羿清一本正经的加了一句，顺便一脸忌惮的扫了一眼满桌子的菜，一道道的看完，神情才松了松，越加冷笑道，“哼，就这样的菜，也敢做给师父吃！” “师父，别让这些猪食玷污了您高贵的身躯。 我马上就给你做新的。” “不用了吧？” “不！ 必须要换。” “师父！” 大声。 “呃……好吧，你开心就好！” 突然觉得今天的厨子有点凶凶哒！ 羿清这才转头扫向厨房的众人，一时间仿佛一阵寒气横扫而止，使得整个院子温度都冷好几十度。 “出来！ 就这样的水平，没资格进我的厨房！” 语落化神期威压就不受控制般暴发出来，隐隐还带上了几丝剑气，吓得那几个妹子，逃命似的退出了厨房。 “师父，稍等！” 他行了个礼，这才快步一头扎进了厨房里，临走还不忘用周身的剑气，把桌上原本的食物毁尸灭迹。 哼，小婊砸，又想来跟我抢师父！ 孤月：“……”MDZZ！ 突然有种想散伙的冲动。
Chapter 61 - Master Cannot be Bullied “We’ve arrived!” Shen Ying pointed ahead of her, waking up those who were still in bewilderment. Their gazes followed the direction she was pointing towards and were shocked by the next scene. They had never imagined that there really would be an immortal sect within the Demon Realm. Besides the fact that the demonic aura did not infiltrate the sect, the range of mountain peaks with magnificent palaces were totally comparable to the main residences of the four aristocratic families. And not to be forgotten were all the spirit herbs planted along the way, filling up the mountains. At a closer look, any random plant picked out was at least a ten thousand-year-old supreme-grade spirit herb. Moreover, they were planted messily about—such extravagance was not seen even among the aristocratic families. A hidden immortal sect! This Invincible Sect was absolutely an amazing hidden immortal sect. “Sister Hong…” Everyone else had the same thought as well and couldn’t help but call out her name in worry. Yu Hong grabbed the hand of the person beside her and squeezed it, then shook her head and said in a low volume, “Watch and wait to see what happens.” All of them were anxious as they followed Shen Ying and the radish off the transport Dharma artifact. They followed the both of them through a big hall, and then through the rear of the hall. They passed by the courtyard and then stopped by a bed bench. She laid down on it! -_-||| She lay on the bed bench face down with her four limbs spread apart, having no qualms about it. “So tired!” She said one line and her eyes began to shut uncontrollably. Even the man named Radish looked at that scene as if it was natural before habitually digging a hole and sitting in it, looking as if he were about to sleep as well. What did this mean? Why did they suddenly not care about them? Was this an opening gambit towards the new disciples? Or was it some sort of entrance test? Their little group waited for a while, but seeing that Shen Ying and radish did not seem like they were going to move, Yu Hong had no choice but to go ahead to sound her out. “Immortal Master, Immortal Master… Sect Master?” “Ah?” Shen Ying finally moved and looked at her with her head tilted, seemingly just remembering about them. “Oh, you guys make yourselves comfortable.” “…” What did that mean? “Sect Master, don’t we need to register or something?” “Yeah, you have to ask Father Niu about that.” He was the one who wrote the recruitment plan. “No rush. Wait till he gets back to talk about that.” “Then… does Sect Master need to get people to bring us to meet the rest of the sect? Since we have just joined, we are afraid of offending the seniors.” “The rest of the sect? Haven’t you already seen them?” “Already seen?!” Everyone looked at each other at a loss for words. “What do you mean, Sect Master?” When had they met them? “Just now on the street. Chef, Father Niu and me.” Shen Ying pointed at herself seriously, saying, “The rest of the sect!” “There’s no one else?” Radish was only considered half a headcount. The crowd: “…” Putting aside the weird names, what was this about? Such a large sect yet you’re telling me there are only four people?! Who are you trying to kid! (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻ “We just began to recruit so there aren’t a lot of people.” Shen Ying had pondered for a bit before explaining. “Yeah, there will be more in the future.” “…” Yu Hong’s mouth twitched as she looked at this unreliable so-called sect master, and it took her a while before suppressing the impulse to act rashly and said, “If that’s the case… now that we have entered this sect, we hope that Sect Master will help us to make arrangements for future matters.” “Arrangements…” Shen Ying finally recalled that she should not just let them stand there. She climbed up and pointed toward the huge hall. “How about you guys just find a room and settle down first? Wait for Father Niu to come back to make any arrangements. This place is pretty big so staying anywhere is fine.” Yu Hong’s heart contracted as she wondered: were they being tested? How could such a huge immortal sect allow the new disciples to barge in anywhere. Could the sect master already be suspicious of them? Her expression shifted for a fleeting moment before turning back to normal. Taking a deep breath, she respectfully gave a salute. “Sect Master. Although we have never joined an immortal sect before, we have heard of each sect’s rules and dare not overstep them. We are all here to pursue immortality and seek the Dao, so no matter the challenge for our acceptance, we will not be daunted. Sect Master, please give us your instructions. We will certainly go to all lengths to complete them.” “Er…” The girls behind Yu Hong also knelt down and said in unison, “Awaiting Sect Master’s orders.” Why are they being like this? It’s not labor day. Do they really like laboring so much? “You all really don’t want to rest in the house?” “There’s no need.” “Are you sure?” “Yes!” “Alright then!” Shen Ying sighed, walked over and squatted in front of Yu Hong, saying earnestly, “Then… do you all know how to cook?” The crowd: “…” Thus, when Lonemoon and Yi Qing returned, all they saw was a scene of seven to eight girls squeezed inside of the kitchen, working together to cook. Lonemoon’s mouth could not stop twitching. He took a long time before reacting as it had not been so lively for a while; it was like a scene from a reunion dinner. Hadn’t he come back only two hours late? What had happened during this time? Why had all the new disciples turned into chefs in the blink of an eye? This was an immortal cultivation sect, not an immortal cultivation restaurant! “Sect Master, do try this bowl of sweet beancurd and see if it is to your liking?” Yu Hong passed the bowl of beancurd over with a smile. “Hold on!” Just as Shen Ying was about to take it, however, Yi Qing had already taken big strides to rush over angrily.

There were two sheep horn braids pointing to the sky on her head and her face looked very childish. Ye Tian Xie was certain that this little girl was not sitting here when he had first appeared, or else he would have immediately noticed her. It was more like she had suddenly appeared.\nYaya: Level: ????\nGrade: ????\nHer age is unknown, but she forever possess the body and disposition of a eight-nine year old girl. No one knows where she came from, but she has guarded the Frost Wolf’s Hole for many years and one can only enter the Frost Wolf’s Hole after passing her test.\nAs soon as he received the information from the Evil Dragon’s Eyes, the little girl was already shouting with her clear voice, “I am Yaya, I welcome this big brother for coming here. This place is very slippery, but the cute Yaya has mysterious Snow Strolling Shows that can let one stand on ice. You don’t need to worry about slipping at all while standing on snow.”\nWhite Snow Strolling Shoes: White coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces.\nPrice: 1000 Gold Coins\nBlack Snow Strolling Shoes: Black coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces.\nPrice: 1000 Gold Coins\nRed Snow Strolling Shoes: Red coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces.\nPrice: 1000 Gold Coins\nPurple Snow Strolling Shoes…….\nPink Snow Strolling Shoes……. Yellow Snow Strolling Shoes……\n…………\n“Big brother, look. There is a variety of pretty colours for these shoes. That’s right, that’s right, if you don’t wearing these pretty snow shoes, then it’ll be really easy for you to slip in the Frost Wolf’s Hole. In order to make it safe, the cute Yaya will not allow any big brother, big sister, uncle, or auntie to enter unless they wear these snow shoes.” Yaya’s smile could be considered as bright as the sun. If there were balloons tied to her sheep horn braids, then she would have floated into the air.\nThe vein on Ye Tian Xie’s forehead popped out. A simple pair of shoes was worth one thousand gold coins……Not buying it, one was not allowed in the Frost Wolf’s Hole! Robbery! This is clearly a robbery! Having such a dark heart at such a young age, she’ll grow up to rob banks……If this world has banks.\nEven though he had the urge to slap her butt in his heart, Ye Tian Xie still generously took out a thousand gold coins and revealed a smile, “Little sister, your snow shoes are very pretty. I’ll take a pair of black snow shoes.”\nDing dong! Trade successful. A pair of shoes that were the same black colour as the ground appeared in Ye Tian Xie’s hand…….These seemed like a pair of cheap shoes that one could buy in a countryside’s market.\nYaya’s smile became even bigger, “Ya! Big Brother! You really are a good person! There were quite a few annoying big brothers earlier, asking if it could be a little cheaper……Yaya is already selling it as cheaply as possible. They are so stingy…..That’s right, there was even a big brother that asked if there was a group discount or not. What is a group discount?”\nYe Tian Xie’s back turned stiff, “Well, what is the test?”\nWith his current strength, he did not fear any kind of tests……As long as it wasn’t something like a search quest like the Ten Thousand Bone Ruins.\nYaya blinked her eyes and began to shout, “Dang, dang, dang, dang! Since you are prepared, then the cutest Yaya will begin her test.”\n……It had to be said, her narcissism was the same as Guo Guo’s. Ye Tian Xie thought.\n“The first test…..” Yaya waved her hand and a white scroll appeared in her hand, “Filling in poetry!”\nYe Tian Xie’s foot slipped and he almost fell face first into the snow.\n“Entering the Frost Wolf’s Hole and saving the pitiful little wolf, not only do you need compassion, you also need to be smart. So, you have to pass Yaya’s intelligence test before you can enter. You can be assured, big brother is a good person, so Yaya will give you the easiest test possible. As long as big brother answers five questions, then you can pass.” Yaya waved the scroll as she revealed a tender smile similar to a blooming flower that looked incredibly cute.\nYe Tian Xie took the scroll. After being bitten by snakes (Please fill in the next part). Ye Tian Xie: “……”\nTaking a magic pen from Yaya, Ye Tian Xie did not move for a long time.\n“Ya! Yaya will not start the countdown. There is only ten seconds. Ten…..Nine…..Eight…..Seven……”\nYe Tian Xie’s hand was trembling as he finally gritted his teeth and quickly scribbled something on the paper. Finishing in three seconds, he handed it back to Yaya.\nOnce bitten by a snake (One hears bird calls everywhere).\nYaya’s body bent and she almost fell off the snowman.\nYaya was visibly angry as she shouted, “Once bitten by the snake, one will fear ropes for ten years! This is something even a three year old would know! Big brother, you are so dumb! So dumb!! So dumb!!! You’re super dumb! Incredibly dumb!!”\nIt wasn’t on purpose and he really did not know what the second phrase was.\nYe Tian Xie had never gone to elementary, middle, or high school……Everything that he had learned had come from “her”. After meeting her, she had given him a family and taken care of him. She had been his teacher and taught him everything……\nOut of all of Ye Tian Xie’s studies, the worst was foreign languages and the second worst was chinese poetry.\nSo when Ye Tian Xie finally entered university, it was also because of her. She had told him that not having a university life would make one’s life unfulfilled because a lot of emotional and fabulous things happened on the campus and was something that could not be experienced anywhere else. So with the help of Zuo Po Jun, he had easily entered the prestigious Jing Hua University……\nOnly he had stayed at the university for two months because she had disappeared and it all became a part of the past.\nOnce being bitten by a snake, one hears bird calls everywhere!\n“Don’t be angry little sister. Once being bitten by a snake, fearing ropes for ten years, this is a very easy question. I was just teasing you. Yaya is so cute and she’s even cuter when she’s smiling.” Ye Tian Xie revealed a smile as he spoke with a face that revealed no shame. Yaya, coping with a little girl like you is not easy!\nYe Tian Xie’s words would have given a normal person goosebumps, but it had quite the effect on this little girl whose brain had not developed yet. Yaya was no longer angry and tilted her head to think before gently saying, “I knew you were doing it on purpose. For this kind of simple question that even the dumbest person in the world could solve, if big brother really could not do it, then he would be dumber than even the dumbest person in the world.”\n[email protected] #￥%……..”\n“Then, let’s begin the quickest and most exciting question and answer period now. Big brother, the time has come to prove you are an intelligent person. You have to listen well!!”\nQuestion and answer……Ye Tian Xie could not help having cold sweat cover his forehead.\nYaya blinked her eyes and then they lit up She excitedly shouted, “Second question……If a watermelon and a coconut falls on your head, what will hurt more?”\n“This question, it doesn’t matter if it is the watermelon or the coconut, but rather it depends on which one is bigger. If the watermelon is bigger, the watermelon will hurt more. If the coconut is bigger, the coconut will hurt more.” Ye Tian Xie thought for half a second and then answered with a serious look on his face. After answering, he felt as if his own answer could not be anymore right. Even Einstein himself could not give a better answer.\n“You’re wrong! The thing that’s in pain is not the watermelon or the coconut, but rather your head! Your head will be hurt and the watermelon and coconut will not be hurt! Big brother, you’re so dumb!” Yaya raised her head and shouted.\nYe Tian Xie was stunned.\n“The third question……” Yaya did not even give Ye Tian Xie any time to breath and then asked, “A black kitty and a white kitty are good friends. One day, the white kitty fell into a black creek and turned black. What was the first thing the black kitty said when it saw it?”\nYe Tian Xie used his imagination and turned himself into the incarnation of the white cat. Putting himself into its place, he confidently said, “It would say, Hi! Friend, you’re much prettier now!”\n“You’re wrong!” Yaya opened her and shook her sparkling white little hands.\n“Then what would it say?”\n“It would definitely say ‘Meow~~~’ Because it wouldn’t be able to talk!!”\nYe Tian Xie had tears streaming down his face.\n“The fourth question……One day, the intelligent and cute Xiao Ming walked into an alley and saw a few gold coins and a large bone on the ground.

第187章 小女孩看上去只有八九岁的样子，一身白白的衣裳，头上扎着两个冲天羊角辫，整张脸稚气未脱。 叶天邪确信这个小女孩在他刚出现在这里的时候绝对没有坐在那里，否则必然被他第一时间发现。 她更像是忽然就出现在了那里。 丫丫：等级：？ 品级：？ 年龄未知，却似乎永远只有八九岁的身体和心性，谁也不知道她的来历是什么，据传她已经守在冰绝狼窟前很多年，只有通过她的考验才能进入冰绝狼窟。 邪龙之目刚刚得来信息，那个小女孩就已经用她清脆的声音喊了起来：“我叫丫丫，欢迎这位大哥哥来到这里哦。 这里的路面很滑，而可爱的丫丫这里有神奇的踏雪鞋，可以让人在冰上、雪上一点都不用担心滑倒哦。” 白色踏雪鞋：白色的踏雪鞋，鞋底被加持了简易的魔法纹路，穿上之后踏在任意的路面上不用担心脚下打滑。 售价：1000金币。 黑色踏雪鞋：黑色的踏雪鞋，鞋底被加持了简易的魔法纹路，穿上之后踏在任意的路面上不用担心脚下打滑。 售价：1000金币。 红色踏雪鞋：红色的踏雪鞋，鞋底被加持了简易的魔法纹路，穿上之后踏在任意的路面上不用担心脚下打滑。 售价：1000金币。 对啦对啦，如果不穿上这漂亮的雪鞋，进到冰绝狼窟里可是好容易滑倒的。 因此为了安全，可爱的丫丫是不会让不穿雪鞋的哥哥姐姐叔叔阿姨进去的哦。” 丫丫笑的那叫一个阳光灿烂。 恐怕那两个羊角辫上随便绑个气球，都能带着她轻飘飘的飞起来。 叶天邪青筋直冒，一双简简单单的鞋子，竟然卖到1000金币……不买还不让进入冰绝狼窟！ 赤裸裸的抢钱啊！ 小小年纪就这么黑心，长大还不要去抢银行……如果这个世界有银行的话。 即使心中有将她拎起来打屁股的冲动，叶天邪也不得不很大方的拿出一千金币，摆出笑脸：“小妹妹，你的雪鞋很漂亮，那我就买一双黑色的雪鞋吧。” 交易成功。 叶天邪的手上多了一双无论款式外形都土到掉渣的黑色鞋子……活像乡下大街上十块钱一打的平底布鞋。 你真是个好人！ 刚才有几个大哥哥可讨厌了，还问可不可以便宜些……丫丫卖的东西都是最最便宜的，他们好小气哦……对啦，还有一些大哥哥居然问团购可不可以打折？ 叶天邪挺直腰杆：“说吧，什么考验。” 以他目前所拥有的实力，还真不怕什么所谓的考验……只要不是万骨废墟那类的找东西就行。 丫丫眼睛扑闪，嘟着嘴喊起来：“当当当当！ 既然你准备好了，那么来自最可爱的丫丫的考验就要来了哦。” ……不得不说，她的自恋程度和果果有的一拼。 叶天邪如是想。 “第一道考验……”丫丫的手一招，一张白白的纸卷出现在了她的手中：“填写诗词！” 叶天邪脚下一个踉跄，差点没一头扎到雪里去。 所以，一定要通过丫丫的智力考验才可以过关哦。 放心啦，大哥哥是好人，所以丫丫给的十道考验都是最最简单的，大哥哥只要答对五道题就可以过关的哦。” 丫丫挥了挥手中的纸卷，稚嫩的笑颜如嫩花盛开，可爱无比。 叶天邪将那张纸卷拿过——一朝被蛇咬，（请填写出下半句）。 拿着那只来自丫丫的魔法笔，叶天邪久久没有动弹。 “呀！ 丫丫要开始倒计时啦，只有十秒哦。 叶天邪的手在发抖，然后终于一咬牙，手刷刷在纸上写了起来，三秒完事，交到了丫丫手里。 一朝被蛇咬，（处处闻啼鸟）。 丫丫身体一歪，差点从雪人身上掉下去。 ！ 大哥哥你好笨！ 好笨！ 他的确不是故意的，而是真的不知道那句谚语的下半句是什么。 叶天邪没上过小学、初中、高中……他所有的学识，都是来自于“她”。 而叶天邪所有的学科中，最烂的是外语，其次是国语中的诗词。 而叶天邪最终上了大学，也是因为她，因为她对他说过，没有经过过校园生活的人生注定是残缺的。 因为很多情感，很多精彩只会属于校园，是其他的地方所无法感触和体验到的。 所以，有了左破军的帮助。 只是，他的校园生活只维持了不到两个月，就因为她的离开而成为过往云烟。 一朝被蛇咬，处处闻啼鸟！ “别生气小妹妹，一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳嘛，这么简单的问题我怎么可能不会。 我只是在逗你开心。 叶天邪的这番话能让一个正常人起一身鸡皮疙瘩，但对头脑发育还未健全的小女孩来说效果还是相当显著的。 丫丫果然不再生气，歪着脑袋想了想，娇喊道：“我就知道是故意的，这么简单的题连世界上最笨最笨的大笨蛋都会做，大哥哥怎么可能不会呢，要不就会连最最笨的大笨蛋都不如了。” 叶天邪：“！ “那么，现在开始最快速最紧张最刺激的智力问答，大哥哥，证明你是一个聪明人的时候到了，可一定要听好了哦！ 智力问答……叶天邪不自禁的擦了擦额头上并不存在的冷汗。 果果眨了眨眼睛，马上就眼睛一亮，神采飞扬的喊道：“第二题……西瓜和椰子打在脑袋上，什么会比较痛呢？” “这个问题，关键不在于是西瓜还是椰子，而是要看哪一个比较大。 如果是西瓜大，就是西瓜比较痛，如果是椰子比较大，那就是椰子比较痛。” 叶天邪思考了半秒，满脸认真的回答。 “错误！ 比较痛的不是西瓜，也不是椰子，而是脑袋！ 是脑袋会痛，椰子和西瓜才不会痛！ 叶天邪直接石化。 “第三题……”丫丫没给叶天邪喘息的机会，又是脆声发问：“一只黑色的猫咪和一只白色的猫咪是很好的朋友，一天白色的猫咪掉进了黑黑的小河里，全身变成了黑色，黑色的猫咪见到它时说的第一句话会是什么呢？” 叶天邪迅速发挥自己的想象力，将自己化身成那只白色的猫咪，设身处地的思索了10秒后，大义凛然的说道：“它会说，嗨！ 朋友，你比以前漂亮多了！” “错误！” 丫丫嘴巴张开，白晃晃的小手连摆。 “那它会说什么？” “它当然会说‘喵~~~’因为猫咪本来就不会说话的！ 叶天邪泪流满面。 “第四题……一天聪明可爱的小明走在大街上，看到地上有好多的金币和一根很大的骨头，但小明却捡走了骨头，没有去捡那些金币，这是为什么呢？” “因为那些金币是假的。” 叶天邪木然道。 “错误！ ！ ！”
Chapter 187: Yaya (Part 2) The little girl looked to be around eight-nine years old with and her body was covered with white clothing. There were two sheep horn braids pointing to the sky on her head and her face looked very childish. Ye Tian Xie was certain that this little girl was not sitting here when he had first appeared, or else he would have immediately noticed her. It was more like she had suddenly appeared. Yaya: Level: ???? Grade: ???? Her age is unknown, but she forever possess the body and disposition of a eight-nine year old girl. No one knows where she came from, but she has guarded the Frost Wolf’s Hole for many years and one can only enter the Frost Wolf’s Hole after passing her test. As soon as he received the information from the Evil Dragon’s Eyes, the little girl was already shouting with her clear voice, “I am Yaya, I welcome this big brother for coming here. This place is very slippery, but the cute Yaya has mysterious Snow Strolling Shows that can let one stand on ice. You don’t need to worry about slipping at all while standing on snow.” White Snow Strolling Shoes: White coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces. Price: 1000 Gold Coins Black Snow Strolling Shoes: Black coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces. Price: 1000 Gold Coins Red Snow Strolling Shoes: Red coloured Snow Strolling Shoes. The sole of the shoe is engraved with a simple magic seal that prevents the user from slipping on any snowy surfaces. Price: 1000 Gold Coins Purple Snow Strolling Shoes……. Pink Snow Strolling Shoes……. Yellow Snow Strolling Shoes…… ………… “Big brother, look. There is a variety of pretty colours for these shoes. That’s right, that’s right, if you don’t wearing these pretty snow shoes, then it’ll be really easy for you to slip in the Frost Wolf’s Hole. In order to make it safe, the cute Yaya will not allow any big brother, big sister, uncle, or auntie to enter unless they wear these snow shoes.” Yaya’s smile could be considered as bright as the sun. If there were balloons tied to her sheep horn braids, then she would have floated into the air. The vein on Ye Tian Xie’s forehead popped out. A simple pair of shoes was worth one thousand gold coins……Not buying it, one was not allowed in the Frost Wolf’s Hole! Robbery! This is clearly a robbery! Having such a dark heart at such a young age, she’ll grow up to rob banks……If this world has banks. Even though he had the urge to slap her butt in his heart, Ye Tian Xie still generously took out a thousand gold coins and revealed a smile, “Little sister, your snow shoes are very pretty. I’ll take a pair of black snow shoes.” Ding dong! Trade successful. A pair of shoes that were the same black colour as the ground appeared in Ye Tian Xie’s hand…….These seemed like a pair of cheap shoes that one could buy in a countryside’s market. Yaya’s smile became even bigger, “Ya! Big Brother! You really are a good person! There were quite a few annoying big brothers earlier, asking if it could be a little cheaper……Yaya is already selling it as cheaply as possible. They are so stingy…..That’s right, there was even a big brother that asked if there was a group discount or not. What is a group discount?” Ye Tian Xie’s back turned stiff, “Well, what is the test?” With his current strength, he did not fear any kind of tests……As long as it wasn’t something like a search quest like the Ten Thousand Bone Ruins. Yaya blinked her eyes and began to shout, “Dang, dang, dang, dang! Since you are prepared, then the cutest Yaya will begin her test.” ……It had to be said, her narcissism was the same as Guo Guo’s. Ye Tian Xie thought. “The first test…..” Yaya waved her hand and a white scroll appeared in her hand, “Filling in poetry!” Ye Tian Xie’s foot slipped and he almost fell face first into the snow. “Entering the Frost Wolf’s Hole and saving the pitiful little wolf, not only do you need compassion, you also need to be smart. So, you have to pass Yaya’s intelligence test before you can enter. You can be assured, big brother is a good person, so Yaya will give you the easiest test possible. As long as big brother answers five questions, then you can pass.” Yaya waved the scroll as she revealed a tender smile similar to a blooming flower that looked incredibly cute. Ye Tian Xie took the scroll. After being bitten by snakes (Please fill in the next part). Ye Tian Xie: “……” Taking a magic pen from Yaya, Ye Tian Xie did not move for a long time. “Ya! Yaya will not start the countdown. There is only ten seconds. Ten…..Nine…..Eight…..Seven……” Ye Tian Xie’s hand was trembling as he finally gritted his teeth and quickly scribbled something on the paper. Finishing in three seconds, he handed it back to Yaya. Once bitten by a snake (One hears bird calls everywhere). Yaya’s body bent and she almost fell off the snowman. Yaya was visibly angry as she shouted, “Once bitten by the snake, one will fear ropes for ten years! This is something even a three year old would know! Big brother, you are so dumb! So dumb!! So dumb!!! You’re super dumb! Incredibly dumb!!” It wasn’t on purpose and he really did not know what the second phrase was. Ye Tian Xie had never gone to elementary, middle, or high school……Everything that he had learned had come from “her”. After meeting her, she had given him a family and taken care of him. She had been his teacher and taught him everything…… Out of all of Ye Tian Xie’s studies, the worst was foreign languages and the second worst was chinese poetry. So when Ye Tian Xie finally entered university, it was also because of her. She had told him that not having a university life would make one’s life unfulfilled because a lot of emotional and fabulous things happened on the campus and was something that could not be experienced anywhere else. So with the help of Zuo Po Jun, he had easily entered the prestigious Jing Hua University…… Only he had stayed at the university for two months because she had disappeared and it all became a part of the past. Once being bitten by a snake, one hears bird calls everywhere! “Don’t be angry little sister. Once being bitten by a snake, fearing ropes for ten years, this is a very easy question. I was just teasing you. Yaya is so cute and she’s even cuter when she’s smiling.” Ye Tian Xie revealed a smile as he spoke with a face that revealed no shame. Yaya, coping with a little girl like you is not easy! Ye Tian Xie’s words would have given a normal person goosebumps, but it had quite the effect on this little girl whose brain had not developed yet. Yaya was no longer angry and tilted her head to think before gently saying, “I knew you were doing it on purpose. For this kind of simple question that even the dumbest person in the world could solve, if big brother really could not do it, then he would be dumber than even the dumbest person in the world.” [email protected] #￥%……..” “Then, let’s begin the quickest and most exciting question and answer period now. Big brother, the time has come to prove you are an intelligent person. You have to listen well!!” Question and answer……Ye Tian Xie could not help having cold sweat cover his forehead. Yaya blinked her eyes and then they lit up She excitedly shouted, “Second question……If a watermelon and a coconut falls on your head, what will hurt more?” “This question, it doesn’t matter if it is the watermelon or the coconut, but rather it depends on which one is bigger. If the watermelon is bigger, the watermelon will hurt more. If the coconut is bigger, the coconut will hurt more.” Ye Tian Xie thought for half a second and then answered with a serious look on his face. After answering, he felt as if his own answer could not be anymore right. Even Einstein himself could not give a better answer. “You’re wrong! The thing that’s in pain is not the watermelon or the coconut, but rather your head! Your head will be hurt and the watermelon and coconut will not be hurt! Big brother, you’re so dumb!” Yaya raised her head and shouted. Ye Tian Xie was stunned. “The third question……” Yaya did not even give Ye Tian Xie any time to breath and then asked, “A black kitty and a white kitty are good friends. One day, the white kitty fell into a black creek and turned black. What was the first thing the black kitty said when it saw it?” Ye Tian Xie used his imagination and turned himself into the incarnation of the white cat. Putting himself into its place, he confidently said, “It would say, Hi! Friend, you’re much prettier now!” “You’re wrong!” Yaya opened her and shook her sparkling white little hands. “Then what would it say?” “It would definitely say ‘Meow~~~’ Because it wouldn’t be able to talk!!” Ye Tian Xie had tears streaming down his face. “The fourth question……One day, the intelligent and cute Xiao Ming walked into an alley and saw a few gold coins and a large bone on the ground. Xiao Ming walked to the bone and ignored the gold coins, why is this?” “Because the gold coins were fake.” Ye Tian Xie said in a serious manner. “You’re wrong!! Because Xiao Ming was a little dog!!” Ye Tian Xie: “……”

He pulled out a red jewelry box the color of a peach core. He opened it slowly to reveal a shiny and extravagant pearl necklace.\nThis necklace clearly wasn't as expensive or on the same grade as the diamond necklace on her neck, but Bai Qing’s heartbeat suddenly increased. She didn't know what to do. She didn’t know whether or not to accept Fang Zhi Ming; she didn't know whether or not she should let go of her hatred towards Qin Feng and restart her life.\n“Bai Qing, let me help you put on this necklace. I believe that if it’s on your neck, it will shine even more brightly.” Fang Zhi Ming stood and arrived beside Bai Qing. When he saw the diamond necklace on her neck, a disdainful smile flashed through his eyes: “Qin Feng must have given you that necklace on your neck. You can tell this necklace is fake right from the first glance, don't get tricked by him.”\n“I've seen the real version of this diamond necklace, it’s worth over 900,000 yuan. How could Qin Feng possibly afford it? Maybe he bought it at some street stall to trick you. Having you wear this kind of fake necklace really ruins your class and elegance. I could never do something like that.”\nFang Zhi Ming mocked Qin Feng while slowly removing the necklace on Bai Qing’s neck. Seeing Bai Qing’s fair jade neck from such a short distance and smelling the faint fragrance of her body made him so excited that he wanted to pounce directly onto her.\nBai Qing had not yet regained her senses; she was stuck in a daze and didn’t know what she was thinking. Though she felt a bit conflicted about Fang Zhi Ming touching her from such a close distance, her whole body felt weak and she had no strength to resist.\n“Five years have passed yet you’re still so beautiful; so beautiful it’s enchanting.” Fang Zhi Ming intentionally blew hot air onto Bai Qing’s neck. Then, he said quietly: “Bai Qing, let me kiss you. Let me kiss your fair fragrant neck, your charming face, your moist lips…”\nBai Qing was scared witless. She admitted that she had some positive feelings towards Fang Zhi Ming, but that was only because they were high school friends and Fang Zhi Ming was considered a handsome, talented, and considerate man. All women would harness some positive feelings towards this kind of man.\nHowever, these positive feelings were not enough to let Bai Qing accept Fang Zhi Ming’s next intimate move. Bai Qing was extremely against him kissing her.\nBut, Bai Qing’s body had already become weak. She had no strength to resist. She was even more startled because she thought Fang Zhi Ming just wanted to have some tea with her and reminisce about the past. She didn’t think he would directly confess.\nAt this time, Bai Qing was conflicted and she really wanted to run away. A familiar shadow appeared in her hazy line of sight. The shadow was tall, handsome, and stood straight. It ran quickly towards her. As it came closer and closer, his features became more and more clear… It was Qin Feng’s shadow.\nAt this time, Qin Feng had a sinister expression. His eyes were completely red like a dreadful monster. He suddenly appeared in a mad rush. Before Bai Qing could react, she felt Fang Zhi Ming fly away from beside her as he was punched viciously by Qin Feng.\nThe punch was despotic and powerful, Bai Qing even heard the wind whistle past her ear and saw the fist fall on Fang Zhi Ming’s face. Fang Zhi Ming cried pitifully and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood which contained his two front teeth.\n“Qin Feng, what the f*ck are you doing?” Fang Zhi Ming fell onto the marble floor meters away and shouted at Qin Feng while grimacing in pain.\nQin Feng arrived beside Bai Qing. He tyrannically took her into his embrace and said while looking coldly at Fang Zhi Ming: “Look here, Bai Qing is my woman. If you dare get close to her, I’ll kill you!”\nQin Feng was angry; he had not been so angry in a really long time. When he discovered that Bai Qing was the pure girl that made him feel first love five years ago, he couldn’t help but fly to Bai Qing’s side the next second. When he ran wildly and found Bai Qing, he saw Fang Zhi Ming standing beside her and helping her remove her necklace. Qin Feng almost killed Fang Zhi Ming on the spot.\n“Qin Feng, it really hurts, let go of me.” Qin Feng hugged Bai Qing so tightly that she felt as though he would shatter her bones.\nQin Feng’s anger slowly subsided. His arm relaxed a lot, but he kept Bai Qing in his embrace. He looked at her and said despotically: “Bai Qing, you’re my woman. If I see you with another man again, I’ll take care of you ruthlessly in the bedroom.”\nBai Qing looked foolishly at Qin Feng; she felt that he had changed.\nBefore, how would Qin Feng care about her? He had as many beauties beside him as there were clouds in the sky, and they revolved around him all day. He wouldn’t get angry over a woman, and he really wouldn’t beat someone up over a woman. But, just now, these impossible things happened. Bai Qing’s heartbeat suddenly and violently increased.\n“Did you hear?” Seeing that Bai Qing said nothing, Qin Feng yelled again.\nBai Qing abruptly came to. An astonished expression stayed on her face. She looked at Fang Zhi Ming who lay battered and exhausted on the ground, then looked at Qin Feng who had a powerful and tyrannical expression. In the end, she nodded slightly: “Qin Feng, I got it. Let’s go.”\nBai Qing took the initiative to take Qin Feng’s arm and leave. She didn’t give Fang Zhi Ming another glance.\nFang Zhi Ming’s expression slowly became sinister. He was originally going to succeed. Just a little bit more and he would have been able to take Bai Qing. He could have enjoyed Bai Qing ferociously. In the end, Qin Feng caused a disturbance halfway through.\nFang Zhi Ming angrily ground his teeth. He thoroughly hated Qin Feng and wanted to kill him personally. He quickly pulled out his cell phone and called a number.\n“Hey, Brother Fire, I’m younger brother Zhi Ming. I’m currently at the Mountain Resort. Where are you? I’ll come look for you right now.”\nTen minutes later, Fang Zhi Ming arrived in one of the hotel rooms. The room had two beds but was surrounded by over ten people. These people all bared their upper arms. They were mostly injured and helped one another apply medicine.\nUpon seeing Fang Zhi Ming enter, one of the men stood. He had long hair dyed a fiery red: “Little Brother Zhi Ming, you’re here.”\nFang Zhi Ming took in the sight before him. He stared blankly for a bit and asked: “Brother Fire, what happened to you and your brothers?”\nBrother Fire sighed helplessly and shook his head. He didn’t mention getting ruthlessly beaten up by Qin Feng not long ago because it was too embarrassing. Over ten of them couldn’t even beat a little youth. If this got out, they would no longer be able to get along in the outside world.\n“Nothing, the brothers were just bored and played amongst themselves but they accidentally got injured.” Brother Fire had a relaxed expression and started a new topic: “Zhi Ming, did you bring a gal to the vacation area to sleep outdoors again?”\nBrother Fire looked at Fang Zhi Ming with a smile. The two of them met in the mountain resort: one of them had some lackeys there and was considered to have a bit of influence; the other often brought beauties to play and was not lacking in money. Thus, they easily formed a group and played together.\nEvery time Fang Zhi Ming came here, he treated Brother Fire and his men to a meal. And when he encountered any trouble at the mountain resort, Brother Fire and his men were happy to help.\n“Haha, Brother Fire knows me too well.” Fang Zhi Ming smiled. Then, his expression fell again: “But, this time I’ve encountered a nuisance. I need Brother Fire’s help in taking care of him.”\nIt wasn’t the first time Brother Fire helped Fang Zhi Ming clean someone up, so he said naturally: “That’s a small, small matter. Don’t you know who this mountain resort belongs to?”\n“That’s not what I mean. With Brother Fire backing me at this Mountain Resort, I’ve never been afraid of anyone.” Fang Zhi Ming followed up on Brother Fire’s words and kissed his ass.\nBrother Fire had just gotten cleaned up so he felt unhappy. Now, Fang Zhi Ming’s flattery made him happy. He immediately puffed his chest and said grandly: “Who is this person?”\n“He’s not even dog fart, he’s a little sales rep at some company.” Once he brought up Qin Feng, Fang Zhi Ming’s expression changed. He said angrily: “He’s just trash and he dared to snatch a woman from me. Brother Fire, bring extra brothers this time, you have to help me cripple his arms and legs. If you do this well, I definitely won’t treat you and your brothers unfairly.”\nWhen he heard that his opponent was only one person without power or influence, Brother Fire pounded his chest and guaranteed: “Alright, I’ll take care of it. I can assure you that nothing will go wrong.”\nWith Brother Fire and his team setting out, Fang Zhi Ming felt a peace of mind even without their reassurance. He told Brother Fire about the details of his plan: “Brother Fire, this time, I brought my high school friends here for a reunion. In a bit, the reunion is going to start. I’ll first make everyone have fun. I’ll message you when we’re halfway through eating and you and your brothers can come directly into our private room.\n“After entering, pretend that you’re all drunk and walked into the wrong room. Then, cause a ruckus. At that time, I’ll signal to you with my eyes the brat I want you to take care of and you guys can just trash him.\n“After cleaning up this brat, don’t leave in a hurry. Pretend you’ve taken a fancy to a beauty named Bai Qing and that you want to violate her. Then, I’ll make a move and send you all running and we’ll be done.” Fang Zhi Ming had already thought of tonight’s plan before coming to Brother Fire.\n“Younger Brother Zhi Ming, you truly are a cultured person who has gone to school. Superb, it really is superb!” After hearing the plan, Brother Fire raised his thumb. He smiled and said: “This kills two birds with one stone: not only will you take care of the nuisance, you’ll also be the hero saving the beauty. Next, the beauty will take the initiative to deliver herself into your embrace and you’ll get a room and wage a war.”\n“Haha, it’s nothing. I can’t compare to Brother Fire,” Fang Zhi Ming said modestly.\n“Then it’s happily decided. When it’s time for us to appear, just text me,” Brother Fire said with a smile." } ]
第一百五十七章 SB3秒就能记住的【新畅想中文网】为您提供最新最全的阅读。 方志明为了这次同学会可是煞费苦心，他从口袋里掏出一个桃心的红色珠宝盒，缓缓打开，一串珠光闪烁的华丽项链落入白青的眼中。 这串项链显然没有白青脖子上的钻石项链值钱上档次，但是白青的心跳却突然加速，她甚至不知道该如何是好，不知道要不要接受方志明，要不要放下对秦枫的这段仇恨，重新开始她zìjǐ的人生。 “白青，让我为你戴上这串项链，相信它戴在你的脖子上，将会闪烁出更加灿烂的光芒。” 方志明站起身走到白青身边，看到白青脖子上的那串钻石项链，眼中闪过一丝轻蔑的笑意：“你脖子上的这串项链想必是秦枫送的吧，这项链一看就是假的啊，你可千万别被他骗了。” “这款钻石项链的原款正版我见过，价值90来万，秦枫怎么可能买得起真款的，说不定这是从哪个地摊上买来骗你的，让你戴这种假项链真是有损了你的高贵气质，这种事情我是绝对干不出来的。” 方志明一边挖苦讽刺秦枫，一边开始慢慢的解开白青脖子上的项链，如此近距离的看着白青白皙的玉颈，嗅着她身上飘来的淡淡香气，他都jīdòng的想要直接扑上去了。 白青还没有回过神来，处在一阵迷茫恍惚之中，她不知道zìjǐ在想什么，她其实有些抵触方志明这么近的接触zìjǐ，但她浑身无力连拒绝的力气都没有了。 “五年过去了，你还是这么的美，美的让人心醉。” 白青吓的心惊胆颤，她承认zìjǐ是对方志明有一些好感，但那也只是因为二人是高中的同学，方志明也算是个ì又有才华还很绅士体贴的男人，对于这种男人，女人都会产生一丝好感。 但是这种好感还不足以让白青接受方志明将要做的亲密举动，想到他要亲吻zìjǐ，白青就非常的抗拒。 可是白青的身体已经发软，毫无力气让她反抗，她更是被吓坏了，还以为方志明就是简单的找她喝茶叙旧，却没想到他会直接表白。 白青此时的心情复杂交错，她很想逃跑，她朦胧的视线中突然出现一个熟悉的身影，高大ì身形挺拔，这个身影正在快速的朝着zìjǐ这边跑来，越来越近，他的样貌也越来越清晰……竟然是秦枫的身影。 秦枫此刻面目狰狞，双眼通红像是洪水猛兽，他速度之快就像是一阵狂风突然出现，还没等白青完全反应过来，就感觉到身边的方志明突然飞了出去，被秦风狠狠的一拳打飞了出去。 这一拳霸道威猛，白青甚至听到了耳边呼啸而过的破风声响，她看到这一拳落在了方志明的脸上，方志明一声惨叫，吐出了一大口鲜血，里面还参杂着两颗门牙。 “秦枫，你他妈的在干嘛？” 方志明落在了数米外的大理石地面上，瓷牙咧嘴的对着秦枫吼道。 秦枫来到白青身边，一把将她霸道的搂进了怀里，神色冰冷的看着方志明说道：“你给老子看清楚了，白青是我的女人，你要是再敢靠近他，老子弄死你！” 秦枫生气了，他好久都没有这么生气过，当他得知白青就是五年前让zìjǐ产生初恋情感的清纯女生时，恨不得下一秒就飞到白青身边来。 等他一路狂奔找到了白青时，看到方志明竟然站在白青身前帮她解项链，秦枫差点当场杀了方志明。 “秦枫，好痛，你快松开我。” 白青被秦枫紧紧的抱着，感觉骨头都要被他挤碎了。 秦枫暴怒的情绪慢慢缓和下来，手上的力气松了许多，但还是把白青抱在怀里，看着她霸道的说道：“白青，你是我的女人，要是再让我看到你跟别的男人鬼混在一起，我会在房间里狠狠收拾你的。” 白青傻傻的看着秦枫，她感觉到秦枫的变化了。 以前的秦枫哪里会在意zìjǐ，他身边美女如云，一天到晚围着他转，他不会为了一个女人生气，更不会为了一个女人动手打人。 但是刚才的那一瞬间，这些不可能的事情都发生了，白青的心跳突然间剧烈的跳动了起来。 “听到没有？” 见白青不说话，秦枫又吼了一声。 白青猛地回过神来，神色中依旧闪烁着诧异的光芒，她看了眼躺在地上狼狈不堪的方志明，又看了看一脸霸道强势的秦枫，最终轻轻点头：“秦枫，我知道了，我们走吧。” 白青主动的挽着秦枫的胳膊离开了，没有再多看方志明一眼。 方志明的神色渐渐狰狞了起来，他本来就要成功了，就差那么一点点就能拿下白青，今晚就能够狠狠的享受白青了，结果被秦风半路杀出来搅了局。 方志明气的咬牙切齿，他是彻彻底底的记恨上了秦枫，已经恨不得亲手杀死秦枫，他快速的掏出手机来打了个电话出去。 “喂，火哥么，我是志明老弟啊，我现在人在避暑山庄呢，你在哪里我现在去找你。” 十分钟后，方志明来到了酒店的一间房间，房间里两张床，却围坐了十多个人，这些人正光着膀子，身上多少有些受伤，正在相互间的帮助对方涂抹跌打油。 看到方志明进来，其中一个留着长发，头发染得火红的男子站了起来：“志明老弟，你来了。” 方志明看到眼前的画面，神色微微一怔，问道：“火哥，你跟兄弟们这是咋回事啊？” 阿火无奈的叹了口气摇了摇头没有提起不久前被秦枫暴打的事情，这事实在是太丢人了，他们十来个兄弟连一个年纪轻轻的少年都干不过，说出来以后还要不要在外面混了。 “méishì，就是闲得无聊兄弟们zìjǐ打着玩，不小心就打伤了。” 火哥一副很轻松的样子扯开了这个话题：“志明，又带着小妞来度假村打野战啊。” 阿火笑眯眯的看着方志明，他们二人是在避暑山庄认识的，一个在避暑山庄有些人手，算是一个小势力，另一个经常带美妞来这里玩，手头不缺钱，这样的组合很容易的就玩到了一起。 方志明每次来这里都要请火哥这些人吃饭，而他在避暑山庄要是遇到什么麻烦，火哥们也乐意帮他出头。 “呵呵，还是火哥了解兄弟。” 方志明笑了笑，脸色又沉了下来：“不过这次遇到个麻烦，还要火哥帮我出马解决掉他。” 阿火也不是第一次帮方志明收拾人了，很是自然的说道：“小事小事，也不看看这避暑山庄是谁的地盘。” “可不是么，有火哥在避暑山庄撑腰，老子从来就没怕过谁。” 方志明顺着阿火的话拍着马屁。 阿火刚被人收拾了一顿，心里正逼着一口闷气，现在被方志明一番的夸赞心里还是很高兴的，当即就挺着胸脯豪气的说道：“那人什么来头？” “狗屁来头都没有，就是一个公司的小小销售员。” 一提到秦枫，方志明的脸色就变了，fènnù的说道：“就这么一个垃圾玩意，还他妈的敢跟老子抢女人，火哥，这次你多带些兄弟，一定要帮我把他的手脚废掉，这件事情要是办好了，我一定不会亏待火哥和您的这些兄弟们的。” 听说对方就一个人，而且没权没势，阿火便拍着胸脯保证道：“行了，这事就抱在我身上，保准不会出岔子。” 有火哥这些人出马，不用他们保证方志明心里也很踏实，便跟火哥说起了他计划的细节来：“火哥，其实我这次是带着高中同学来这里聚会的，一会我们的聚会就开始了，我先带着大家热闹热闹，等饭局吃到一半我给你发信息，你直接带着兄弟们进我们的包间就行。” “进来之后你们就假装是喝醉酒走错了包间，然后开始大闹我们的场子，到时候我就给你使个眼色，指出我要收拾的那个小子，你们直接上去废了他就行了。” “收拾完这小子，你们也别急着走，假装看上了一个叫白青的美女想要侵犯她，然后我就出手把你们全部打跑，这事就算完了。” 方志明来火哥这之前，就已经想好了今晚的对策。 “志明老弟，你果然是读过书的文化人啊，绝，真是绝了！” 阿火听完后竖起大拇指来，笑着说道：“这一石二鸟的招数，不光收拾了你的眼中钉，还来了个英雄救美，接着就是美人主动送怀，跟着开房大战的节奏了。” “呵呵，一点拙见罢了，跟火哥没法比的。” 方志明谦虚的说道。 “那就这么愉快的决定了，到时候该我们出场了，你直接给我发个短信就行。” 火哥邪笑着说道。
Chapter 157 - Then It’s Decided Translator: Wiwbiwb Editor: Levs Fang Zhi Ming spent a lot of effort on this class reunion. He pulled out a red jewelry box the color of a peach core. He opened it slowly to reveal a shiny and extravagant pearl necklace. This necklace clearly wasn't as expensive or on the same grade as the diamond necklace on her neck, but Bai Qing’s heartbeat suddenly increased. She didn't know what to do. She didn’t know whether or not to accept Fang Zhi Ming; she didn't know whether or not she should let go of her hatred towards Qin Feng and restart her life. “Bai Qing, let me help you put on this necklace. I believe that if it’s on your neck, it will shine even more brightly.” Fang Zhi Ming stood and arrived beside Bai Qing. When he saw the diamond necklace on her neck, a disdainful smile flashed through his eyes: “Qin Feng must have given you that necklace on your neck. You can tell this necklace is fake right from the first glance, don't get tricked by him.” “I've seen the real version of this diamond necklace, it’s worth over 900,000 yuan. How could Qin Feng possibly afford it? Maybe he bought it at some street stall to trick you. Having you wear this kind of fake necklace really ruins your class and elegance. I could never do something like that.” Fang Zhi Ming mocked Qin Feng while slowly removing the necklace on Bai Qing’s neck. Seeing Bai Qing’s fair jade neck from such a short distance and smelling the faint fragrance of her body made him so excited that he wanted to pounce directly onto her. Bai Qing had not yet regained her senses; she was stuck in a daze and didn’t know what she was thinking. Though she felt a bit conflicted about Fang Zhi Ming touching her from such a close distance, her whole body felt weak and she had no strength to resist. “Five years have passed yet you’re still so beautiful; so beautiful it’s enchanting.” Fang Zhi Ming intentionally blew hot air onto Bai Qing’s neck. Then, he said quietly: “Bai Qing, let me kiss you. Let me kiss your fair fragrant neck, your charming face, your moist lips…” Bai Qing was scared witless. She admitted that she had some positive feelings towards Fang Zhi Ming, but that was only because they were high school friends and Fang Zhi Ming was considered a handsome, talented, and considerate man. All women would harness some positive feelings towards this kind of man. However, these positive feelings were not enough to let Bai Qing accept Fang Zhi Ming’s next intimate move. Bai Qing was extremely against him kissing her. But, Bai Qing’s body had already become weak. She had no strength to resist. She was even more startled because she thought Fang Zhi Ming just wanted to have some tea with her and reminisce about the past. She didn’t think he would directly confess. At this time, Bai Qing was conflicted and she really wanted to run away. A familiar shadow appeared in her hazy line of sight. The shadow was tall, handsome, and stood straight. It ran quickly towards her. As it came closer and closer, his features became more and more clear… It was Qin Feng’s shadow. At this time, Qin Feng had a sinister expression. His eyes were completely red like a dreadful monster. He suddenly appeared in a mad rush. Before Bai Qing could react, she felt Fang Zhi Ming fly away from beside her as he was punched viciously by Qin Feng. The punch was despotic and powerful, Bai Qing even heard the wind whistle past her ear and saw the fist fall on Fang Zhi Ming’s face. Fang Zhi Ming cried pitifully and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood which contained his two front teeth. “Qin Feng, what the f*ck are you doing?” Fang Zhi Ming fell onto the marble floor meters away and shouted at Qin Feng while grimacing in pain. Qin Feng arrived beside Bai Qing. He tyrannically took her into his embrace and said while looking coldly at Fang Zhi Ming: “Look here, Bai Qing is my woman. If you dare get close to her, I’ll kill you!” Qin Feng was angry; he had not been so angry in a really long time. When he discovered that Bai Qing was the pure girl that made him feel first love five years ago, he couldn’t help but fly to Bai Qing’s side the next second. When he ran wildly and found Bai Qing, he saw Fang Zhi Ming standing beside her and helping her remove her necklace. Qin Feng almost killed Fang Zhi Ming on the spot. “Qin Feng, it really hurts, let go of me.” Qin Feng hugged Bai Qing so tightly that she felt as though he would shatter her bones. Qin Feng’s anger slowly subsided. His arm relaxed a lot, but he kept Bai Qing in his embrace. He looked at her and said despotically: “Bai Qing, you’re my woman. If I see you with another man again, I’ll take care of you ruthlessly in the bedroom.” Bai Qing looked foolishly at Qin Feng; she felt that he had changed. Before, how would Qin Feng care about her? He had as many beauties beside him as there were clouds in the sky, and they revolved around him all day. He wouldn’t get angry over a woman, and he really wouldn’t beat someone up over a woman. But, just now, these impossible things happened. Bai Qing’s heartbeat suddenly and violently increased. “Did you hear?” Seeing that Bai Qing said nothing, Qin Feng yelled again. Bai Qing abruptly came to. An astonished expression stayed on her face. She looked at Fang Zhi Ming who lay battered and exhausted on the ground, then looked at Qin Feng who had a powerful and tyrannical expression. In the end, she nodded slightly: “Qin Feng, I got it. Let’s go.” Bai Qing took the initiative to take Qin Feng’s arm and leave. She didn’t give Fang Zhi Ming another glance. Fang Zhi Ming’s expression slowly became sinister. He was originally going to succeed. Just a little bit more and he would have been able to take Bai Qing. He could have enjoyed Bai Qing ferociously. In the end, Qin Feng caused a disturbance halfway through. Fang Zhi Ming angrily ground his teeth. He thoroughly hated Qin Feng and wanted to kill him personally. He quickly pulled out his cell phone and called a number. “Hey, Brother Fire, I’m younger brother Zhi Ming. I’m currently at the Mountain Resort. Where are you? I’ll come look for you right now.” Ten minutes later, Fang Zhi Ming arrived in one of the hotel rooms. The room had two beds but was surrounded by over ten people. These people all bared their upper arms. They were mostly injured and helped one another apply medicine. Upon seeing Fang Zhi Ming enter, one of the men stood. He had long hair dyed a fiery red: “Little Brother Zhi Ming, you’re here.” Fang Zhi Ming took in the sight before him. He stared blankly for a bit and asked: “Brother Fire, what happened to you and your brothers?” Brother Fire sighed helplessly and shook his head. He didn’t mention getting ruthlessly beaten up by Qin Feng not long ago because it was too embarrassing. Over ten of them couldn’t even beat a little youth. If this got out, they would no longer be able to get along in the outside world. “Nothing, the brothers were just bored and played amongst themselves but they accidentally got injured.” Brother Fire had a relaxed expression and started a new topic: “Zhi Ming, did you bring a gal to the vacation area to sleep outdoors again?” Brother Fire looked at Fang Zhi Ming with a smile. The two of them met in the mountain resort: one of them had some lackeys there and was considered to have a bit of influence; the other often brought beauties to play and was not lacking in money. Thus, they easily formed a group and played together. Every time Fang Zhi Ming came here, he treated Brother Fire and his men to a meal. And when he encountered any trouble at the mountain resort, Brother Fire and his men were happy to help. “Haha, Brother Fire knows me too well.” Fang Zhi Ming smiled. Then, his expression fell again: “But, this time I’ve encountered a nuisance. I need Brother Fire’s help in taking care of him.” It wasn’t the first time Brother Fire helped Fang Zhi Ming clean someone up, so he said naturally: “That’s a small, small matter. Don’t you know who this mountain resort belongs to?” “That’s not what I mean. With Brother Fire backing me at this Mountain Resort, I’ve never been afraid of anyone.” Fang Zhi Ming followed up on Brother Fire’s words and kissed his ass. Brother Fire had just gotten cleaned up so he felt unhappy. Now, Fang Zhi Ming’s flattery made him happy. He immediately puffed his chest and said grandly: “Who is this person?” “He’s not even dog fart, he’s a little sales rep at some company.” Once he brought up Qin Feng, Fang Zhi Ming’s expression changed. He said angrily: “He’s just trash and he dared to snatch a woman from me. Brother Fire, bring extra brothers this time, you have to help me cripple his arms and legs.

Each arrow shined with a cold, metallic luster, powerfully tearing into the air.\n“Truly overconfident!’ Xue Ying, as fast as lightning, quickly drew two parts of his spear from the weapon box on his back.\nXue Ying’s spear consisted of two parts, each part being more than a meter in length. Armed with his spear, Xue Ying casually waved his hands to deflect the arrows. Because the Snowstrider Horse ran so fast, only a dozen or more arrows reached Xue Ying and with a ‘pu, pu’ sound, he easily deflected them as well. What’s more, not even a single arrow had harmed the Snowstrider Horse.\nImmediately after Xue Ying had jumped down from the Snowstrider Horse, he rushed directly towards the hill. At the same time, the two parts of the spear united, becoming one long spear.\n“It’s a tough one, retreat!” Ordered the Big Boss. From above, he had seen Xue Ying easily blocking those arrows. He knew this person was not one to be trifled with.\nThe Big Boss and several others, even the bandits, were all frightened.\nThey looked below with horror. The youngster, clad in black, had jumped off his steed. He soared in the air, darting across like a shadow. Although he was only dashing up the steep mountain slope, his speed made their hearts shiver, their feet feel like jelly, and they soon became filled with dread! Too fast! Really too fast! Their location was high up in the mountains, and the distance between them and the young man below was initially around 300 kilometers.\nNormally, considering the steepness of the mountain road, which was difficult to climb, they should have enough time to retreat.\nBut in reality, the speed of that black-clothed youngster who was rushing up the hill was truly terrifying. The surrounding rocks and woods couldn’t obstruct him at all. The inclined steep hill also wasn’t an obstacle for him. His speed was faster in this bosky mountain area than before, when he had been riding the Snowstrider Horse. It was so fast, the bandits couldn’t even see the black-clothed youngster’s figure clearly. They could only see a blurred black shadow.\n“How, how could we run into such a strong Legend ranker…” the big boss felt his head would soon explode. Sweat quickly dampened his clothes and both his legs became soft. “This kind of fast speed while going uphill, he must be a Legend Ranker! A Silver Moon Knight couldn’t be this fast. Anyhow, if he was a Silver Moon knight, I would still be able to clearly see his figure and could still manage to fight with him.”\n“Azure River County only has a handful of Legend Rankers. Where did he come from? Where on earth did he come from?”\n“No, no……”\nThe Big Boss unwilling to accept the truth before him. Despair, dread, and other various complex emotions emerged. He absolutely had no thoughts of confronting the youngster, the gap between them was simply too large.\nMaybe if it had been a Meteor ranker or a Silver Moon ranker, he would have been able to fight them…\nBut for a Silver Moon knight to fight with a Legend ranker? Usually the latter could easily annihilate the first! In front of a Legend ranker, even a Silver Moon Grand Mage couldn’t cast a spell.\nA Legend ranker was really powerful! A one man army who really showed a mortal’s limit. Meteor Knights were rendered powerless in front of a Legend ranker.\n“Spare my life, please spare my life. Lord, please spare my life,” said the big, burly and violent Big Boss as he suddenly knelt down, begging for his life.\nPeng!\nA spear’s shadow suddenly swept down. The Big Boss’ face became ashen, stricken with horror. He had no time to block it. The spear’s shadow directly struck his chest. Boom. His whole chest sunk, his internal organs were completely shattered. Simultaneously, just like a sandbag, his body flew away, hitting a distant big tree. The big tree immediately crumbled. The Big Boss fell down, blood sprayed out from his mouth, as his eyes bulged out. He died instantly.\n“Quickly escape!” The other chiefs and bandits became completely insane. They immediately ran away, scattering in all directions. The disparity between their strength was too far apart. Although the other party won in numbers, their spirits were already exposed to fear. They only had one thought, to escape!\nShua, shua, shua!!!\nHe was too fast!\nXue Ying’s speed was astonishing, especially in the eyes of those tied up hostages. In their eyes, there appeared to be seven or eight afterimages, making it look like there were seven or eight ‘Xue Yings’ armed with spears attacking at the same time. With their slow speed, each and every bandit didn’t have enough time to react and block his attacks. But in reality, it was no use for them to block it either way. Pu, pu, pu. This included the two Meteor Rank knights and the Heaven ranked Mage, who forcefully tried to cast instantaneous magic. Everyone’s bodies were pierced through with the spear.\nAs for the magic? Faced with the high-­pressure air blast that rolled out from Xue Ying’s spear, the puny sharp blade-like attack magic just vanished into thin air. The magic couldn’t even touch the spear’s surface.\nXue Ying had successfully killed more than 30 bandits.\nAll the other bandits had already fled. Some went downhill, some went uphill. All in all, they fled in every direction. Xue Ying didn’t care! After all, as long as the powerful backbone was gone, the rest were just helpless minions.\n“Eh?” Xue Ying glanced down at the several corpses of the most powerful Bandit leaders. Nowadays, his external sense was sharper. He walked closer to the corpse and saw the Big Boss’s magic storage armband.\nXue Ying extended his spear.\nClang! Forced by the spear, the armband immediately detached from the arm. Xue Ying then picked it up with his spear, and the armband flew into his hand.\n“My lord, please save us!”\n“My lord, please save us!” the hostages pleaded. Those tied up hostages consisted of the elderly, some middle aged adults and a young couple. Their clothes were quite luxurious. They were afraid that if this powerful person left them, the bandits would return to capture them.\n“Pu, pu, pu……” Xue Ying walked past them as he casually waved his spear. His spearhead slashed the ropes. In a flash, the hostages had regained their freedom.\n“Thank you, Lord, for saving our lives!” A white bearded elder respectfully greeted Xue Ying and then immediately murmured an order to the other people nearby, “Gather the goods and give them to the Lord.”\nThe merchants swiftly gathered all the valuables. Not only their goods, which had been looted by the bandits before but the bandits’ possessions as well. They searched the bandits’ corpses for money, gold notes and other valuable possessions. In a short time, they had already gathered and stacked all of the valuable goods, including a Star Breaking Crossbow, together.\n“My lord, these were all of the bandits’ possessions, including our own merchandise which they’d looted before. All of this we give to you, my lord, as our thanks. Thank you for saving our lives,” the white bearded elder said.\nXue Ying glanced at them.\nThat thick, high stack of gold notes were mainly from the “Eight Frozen Jade Eagles.” The other two Meteor rank Knights didn’t have any magical storage items. They had only been carrying a little bit of money and a few items on their bodies.\n“Okay.” Xue Ying only collected the gold notes. The gold notes were worth around 80,000-90,000 gold coins. “You can take the other things, including the Star Breaking Crossbow. Maybe with it you can all protect yourselves? In what state is your looted caravan? And your horses?”\n“The others are already dead, and the horses were the first to go. The Eight Frozen Jade Eagle simply didn’t care for our horses,” the old man with a white beard explained.\nXue Ying nodded, “Please hasten, I will escort you through this Frozen Jade Mountain Valley. After we’ve crossed this valley, I will leave you all.”\n“Thank you my lord, thank you my lord.” The white bearded elder quickly kneeled and kowtowed. The others also quickly followed him, kneeling and kowtowing. This Frozen Jade Mountain Valley was occupied by numerous bandit groups. They were just a group of old and young people. Without Xue Ying’s help, it would be really hard for them to get out alive from this valley.\n“Quickly, I will not wait for you.” Xue Ying had already jumped down. The distance until the bottom of the hill was around 200 miles, but Xue Ying didn’t care. He directly jumped to the bottom, peng, the ground was shaken. He didn’t even have to bend his knees.\n“Not bad.” Xue Ying bound the magical storage item. The storage space was only half the size of the space provided by the magic storage pendant his mother gave him. “The bandit leaders’ gold notes were worth another 150,000 gold coins. My Snowrock Castle was short on money, but now I’ve already gained this much.”\nAlthough he had sold the Shadow Leopard’s skin and the other valuable body parts for several tens thousands gold coins, when his brother had become a personal disciple, Xue Ying had gifted his brother with a fine magical storage space item and a magic staff. Common magic staves were already worth more than 5,000 gold coins. Because Qing Shi’s magic power was still weak, he still couldn’t efficiently showcase a high grade magic staff’s power. But Xue Ying had given Qing Shi a large capacity magical storage item. Xue Ying had spent 50,000 gold coins for the magical storage item, and its capacity was also two times bigger than his mother’s magic storage pendant.\nWhen his power had reached Legend rank, Xue Ying had also changed his inner armor to second grade refined protection armor. So when he battled with other Legend ranker experts, the armor could now at least protect his vital points.\nHe had also exchanged his boots and clothes with ones made from refined material. But these had still been cheap. The expensive one had been his inner armor, which had cost 30,000 gold coins! So Xue Ying was now short on money.\nHad become jolly just for several ten thousands gold coins? If other Legend rank experts knew this, they would laugh. After all, Legend ranked experts, what kind of status did they have?\nAfter escorting these dozen people who had been lucky enough to keep their lives out of Frozen Jade Mountain Valley, Xue Ying no longer cared for them. He split from them and then spurred the Snowstrider Horse.\nAt dawn on the second day, Xue Ying continued his journey. After a whole day of riding, he had finally arrived at the Prefecture City of Azure River County at dusk.\n“After two full days on the road, I’ve finally arrived. This is the Prefecture City of Azure River County?” Xue Ying looked into the distance. In the distance stood a huge, majestic city. The city was so big, it was difficult for normal people to see where it ended.\nAtop this majestic city wall, after each mile there was a mounted black sphere. Each black sphere’s surface was decorated with a golden pattern. The whole majestic city emitted some kind of invisible power. Common people couldn’t sense this invisible power but Xue Ying had a sharp Qi sensory ability. With his extraordinary sense, he could detect this invisible power.\nThe Prefecture City of Azure River County had more than ten million citizens. Compared to Dragon Mountain Manor and the Empire, this city had a much longer history.\nAs a matter of fact, Provincial and Prefecture cities usually had long histories. Although the dynasties changed, this kind of ancient city would continue to exist under the new reign. The city was also fortified with magic, making it more impregnable. The Provincial capital was even more formidable. Each city could have more than 100 million citizens. Its size was more imposing, almost like an independent country. It is said that even the Gods’ conjoined forces still couldn’t shake the provincial capital’s defense.\n“This is truly eye-opening. I feel that if the entire defence of this Azure River County’s prefectural city fully activated, every black sphere could easily kill me. That black sphere’s power is absolutely at the Transcendent power level.” Xue Ying sighed. However he was unaware that each time they were activated, these black spheres consumed an astonishing amount of energy.\n“Enter.”\nStill riding his Snowstrider Horse, Xue Ying entered the huge, majestic Prefectural city of Azure River County." } ]
第十一章 87_87401“嗯？” 东伯雪鹰抬头看去，密密麻麻箭矢正朝自己射来，每一根箭矢箭头都闪烁着冰冷的金属光泽，撕裂着空气，威力极大。 东伯雪鹰快如闪电抽出了背上兵器箱上的两截枪杆。 呼！ 两截枪杆都有一米多长，在东伯雪鹰手中随意的挥动了下，因为踏雪马驹飞奔速度太快，真正落到纪宁身前的也就十几根箭矢，只见枪杆挥动下噗噗噗一根根箭矢尽皆被崩飞了，别说东伯雪鹰了，连马匹上都没有一根箭矢碰到。 跟着东伯雪鹰瞬间跃下踏雪马，直接朝山上冲去，同时两截枪杆合一。 “是硬骨头，退！” 上面的大首领被东伯雪鹰轻松挡住那些箭矢的从容给惊住了，知道不好惹。 咻！ 大首领以及其他几位，乃至那些盗匪们个个都惊恐了。 他们惊恐看着下方，那名跃下马匹的黑衣青年化作一道黑影冲天而起，虽然是飞窜在高山山壁上，可速度快的让他们心颤腿软，让他们恐惧！ 太快了，实在是太快了！ 他们在高山上，和下面好歹也有近两百米的距离呢。 而且陡峭山路难爬，按理说他们应该有足够时间退走。 可实际上下方的黑衣青年冲上来的速度，简直可怕，那些山石树木根本不是阻碍，倾斜陡峭山壁也不是阻碍，在山林间飞奔的速度比之前踏雪马驹在官道上飞奔的速度还要快，快的他们这些盗匪们都看不清这黑衣青年的准确身形，只能看到一道模糊的黑色残影。 “怎么会，怎么会碰到一名称号级强者。” 大首领瞬间感觉头都快炸了，汗水瞬间就湿了衣服，双腿都有些发软，“速度在山上都能这么快，肯定是称号级！ 银月骑士根本没这么快，银月骑士我好歹能看清楚身影，能够搏上一搏的。” “青河郡一共就那么些个称号级，哪冒出来的？ 到底哪冒出来的？” “怎么会？” 大首领不愿接受眼前这一切，绝望、恐惧各种复杂情绪在涌现，他根本没有任何对抗的念头，因为差距实在太大太大了。 可银月骑士遇到称号级，一般都是被一招灭杀的！ 就算是银月级大-法师……在称号级面前连法术都施展不出来。 称号级是何等强大！ 这就代表了凡人的极限，真正的一人之军团！ 流星骑士在称号级面前毫无还手之力！ “饶命，饶命，大人饶命。” 这位魁梧凶悍的大首领却是猛然跪了下来，求饶了。 蓬！ 一道枪影陡然横扫而过，大首领露出惊恐色却根本来不及有任何阻挡，这枪影直接扫在他的胸口处，轰，整个人胸口凹陷，脏腑器官完全震碎，同时仿佛破沙袋一样倒飞开去撞击在远处的大树上，大树都直接轰然断裂，大首领摔落下，口中鲜血喷出，眼睛瞪得滚圆，已然毙命。 “逃啊。” “快逃啊。” 其他首领们包括盗匪们都完全疯了，立即四散着逃窜，这仿佛是不同层次生命相遇的场景，另一方虽然数量多可个个都是发自灵魂的恐惧，只有一个念头——逃！ 刷刷刷！ ！ 太快了。 东伯雪鹰速度快的，特别是在那些被绑缚着抓住的人们眼里，出现了七八个幻影，仿佛七八个‘东伯雪鹰’同时出枪，一名名盗匪速度慢的根本来不及有任何阻挡，其实就算阻挡也没用。 噗噗噗……包括另外两名流星级骑士首领在内，包括一名勉强瞬间发出法术的天阶法师在内……个个被长枪洞穿了身体！ 至于法术？ 这可笑的化作锋利的刀刃般的法术，在东伯雪鹰的长枪挥动下形成的高压气流压迫下就直接溃散了，连长枪的枪杆都无法碰触到。 一连杀了三十多名盗匪。 毕竟一支强大的盗匪团伙只要骨干没了，剩下的小喽喽是成不了事的。 东伯雪鹰目光扫视了下那最厉害的几名盗匪首领的尸体，如今他对外界感应更敏锐，在尸体旁走了下，就发现了大首领的一个臂环乃是储物宝物。 铛。 臂环被枪尖之力震的立即从手臂上脱落下来，而后枪尖一挑，便飞到东伯雪鹰手中。 “大人，救救我们。” 那些被绑缚着的衣着也颇为华丽的一些老人、中年人以及一对少年少女都渴望看着，他们怕这位强大存在离开后，那些盗匪又把他们抓走。 “噗噗噗……”东伯雪鹰走了过去，长枪随意挥动，枪尖边上锋利的薄刃划过绳子，瞬间这十几人都脱困了。 “谢大人救我们性命。” 一名白胡子老者恭敬行礼，同时连给旁边其他人低声下令，“把东西都收拾起来，献给大人。” “是。” 这些商人们个个都是人精，立即去把盗匪们抢劫的一些货物中的贵重物品，以及盗匪尸体上的一些金票等贵重物帮忙搜集起来。 很快，包括一大堆破星弩，以及许多金币金票等物放成一大堆。 “大人，这些都是盗匪们遗留的，这些货物物品我们也献给大人，谢大人救我们性命。” 白胡子老者恭敬说道。 东伯雪鹰目光一扫。 那厚厚一叠金票的确价值颇高，主要是冷琼八鹰的其他两名流星级骑士都没储物法宝，都是随身携带的一些钱物。 “好。” 东伯雪鹰很干脆收了那一大叠金票，这价值也有**万金币的，“至于其他东西你们自己就收着吧，破星弩也带着，说不定你们还能自己保命。 你们被劫掠的商队呢？ “其他人都死了，马匹被扔在前面，冷琼八鹰根本不在乎那些马匹。” 白胡子老者说道。 “嗯。” 东伯雪鹰点头，“速度都快点，我带你们出冷琼山峡谷。 至于出了峡谷，我就不管你们了。” “谢谢大人，谢谢大人。” 白胡子老者都跪下来磕头，其他人也都跪下感激，冷琼山盘踞了大量盗匪，他们老的老少的少，没东伯雪鹰他们很难活着出峡谷。 “快点，慢了我可不等你们。” 东伯雪鹰却已经飞跃而下，离地面近两百米的高度他却是丝毫不在乎，直接一跃飞落到下方地面，蓬，地面都是一震，他连膝盖都没弯一下。 “还不错。” 东伯雪鹰炼化了下这个储物宝物，空间也比母亲的那个要小一圈，“这些盗匪首领们的金票加起来也过十五万金币了！ 我雪石城堡正缺钱，如今就来了这么一笔收获。” 比母亲的这个空间都要大一圈。 自己在达到称号级实力时，身上的内甲，换了一个二阶炼金护甲，至少和称号级交手厮杀时能够保住身体的要害。 靴子衣服都换了些炼金物品，不过这些都比较便宜，唯有内甲较贵达到三万金币！ 所以如今东伯雪鹰手头上是有些紧了。 却为十几万金币而欢喜，被其他称号级强者知晓恐怕也会笑话的。 毕竟称号级是什么地位？ 带着那些侥幸逃出升天的十几人出了冷琼山的峡谷后，东伯雪鹰便不再管了，踏雪马驹速度飙起来。 一路飞奔，晚上在‘黄珑城’城内住了一夜。 第二天一大早继续赶路，一直到傍晚时分才终于抵达了青河郡城。 “足足两天时间，总算到了，这就是青河郡城？” 东伯雪鹰遥遥看着，远处一座巍峨的城池庞大的肉眼难以看到尽头，城墙是由灰白色岩石构成，上面无数沟壑见证了漫长的历史。 这座巍峨的城墙上，每隔一里地都竖着一个黑色球体，球体上也有着金色花纹，整个庞大巍峨的城池散发着一种无形的力量，当然一般人是感觉不到的，东伯雪鹰对气息感知非常敏锐才能察觉。 青河郡城，有常住人口过千万！ 拥有的历史比龙山帝国的历史还长。 其实省城、郡城的历史一般都很长，朝代更替，可这些古老城池却是不断的加固，法术阵法也变得越加强大，像省城就更夸张了，内部常住人口是过亿的，那城池雄伟庞大简直就像是一个的国度，据说连神灵的力量都无法撼动省城的各种防御。 “真是开了眼界，我有感觉，如果整个青河郡郡城的法术大阵都爆发，那一个个的球体爆发的威能，恐怕瞬间能灭杀我，这完全是超凡的力量了。” “进城。” 骑着踏雪马驹，东伯雪鹰也进入了这座雄伟的青河郡城。
Chapter 11 – Prefecture City of Azure River County Chapter 11 – Prefecture City of Azure River County “Eh?” Xue Ying looked up, as numerous arrows shot straight towards him. Each arrow shined with a cold, metallic luster, powerfully tearing into the air. “Truly overconfident!’ Xue Ying, as fast as lightning, quickly drew two parts of his spear from the weapon box on his back. Xue Ying’s spear consisted of two parts, each part being more than a meter in length. Armed with his spear, Xue Ying casually waved his hands to deflect the arrows. Because the Snowstrider Horse ran so fast, only a dozen or more arrows reached Xue Ying and with a ‘pu, pu’ sound, he easily deflected them as well. What’s more, not even a single arrow had harmed the Snowstrider Horse. Immediately after Xue Ying had jumped down from the Snowstrider Horse, he rushed directly towards the hill. At the same time, the two parts of the spear united, becoming one long spear. “It’s a tough one, retreat!” Ordered the Big Boss. From above, he had seen Xue Ying easily blocking those arrows. He knew this person was not one to be trifled with. The Big Boss and several others, even the bandits, were all frightened. They looked below with horror. The youngster, clad in black, had jumped off his steed. He soared in the air, darting across like a shadow. Although he was only dashing up the steep mountain slope, his speed made their hearts shiver, their feet feel like jelly, and they soon became filled with dread! Too fast! Really too fast! Their location was high up in the mountains, and the distance between them and the young man below was initially around 300 kilometers. Normally, considering the steepness of the mountain road, which was difficult to climb, they should have enough time to retreat. But in reality, the speed of that black-clothed youngster who was rushing up the hill was truly terrifying. The surrounding rocks and woods couldn’t obstruct him at all. The inclined steep hill also wasn’t an obstacle for him. His speed was faster in this bosky mountain area than before, when he had been riding the Snowstrider Horse. It was so fast, the bandits couldn’t even see the black-clothed youngster’s figure clearly. They could only see a blurred black shadow. “How, how could we run into such a strong Legend ranker…” the big boss felt his head would soon explode. Sweat quickly dampened his clothes and both his legs became soft. “This kind of fast speed while going uphill, he must be a Legend Ranker! A Silver Moon Knight couldn’t be this fast. Anyhow, if he was a Silver Moon knight, I would still be able to clearly see his figure and could still manage to fight with him.” “Azure River County only has a handful of Legend Rankers. Where did he come from? Where on earth did he come from?” “No, no……” The Big Boss unwilling to accept the truth before him. Despair, dread, and other various complex emotions emerged. He absolutely had no thoughts of confronting the youngster, the gap between them was simply too large. Maybe if it had been a Meteor ranker or a Silver Moon ranker, he would have been able to fight them… But for a Silver Moon knight to fight with a Legend ranker? Usually the latter could easily annihilate the first! In front of a Legend ranker, even a Silver Moon Grand Mage couldn’t cast a spell. A Legend ranker was really powerful! A one man army who really showed a mortal’s limit. Meteor Knights were rendered powerless in front of a Legend ranker. “Spare my life, please spare my life. Lord, please spare my life,” said the big, burly and violent Big Boss as he suddenly knelt down, begging for his life. Peng! A spear’s shadow suddenly swept down. The Big Boss’ face became ashen, stricken with horror. He had no time to block it. The spear’s shadow directly struck his chest. Boom. His whole chest sunk, his internal organs were completely shattered. Simultaneously, just like a sandbag, his body flew away, hitting a distant big tree. The big tree immediately crumbled. The Big Boss fell down, blood sprayed out from his mouth, as his eyes bulged out. He died instantly. “Quickly escape!” The other chiefs and bandits became completely insane. They immediately ran away, scattering in all directions. The disparity between their strength was too far apart. Although the other party won in numbers, their spirits were already exposed to fear. They only had one thought, to escape! Shua, shua, shua!!! He was too fast! Xue Ying’s speed was astonishing, especially in the eyes of those tied up hostages. In their eyes, there appeared to be seven or eight afterimages, making it look like there were seven or eight ‘Xue Yings’ armed with spears attacking at the same time. With their slow speed, each and every bandit didn’t have enough time to react and block his attacks. But in reality, it was no use for them to block it either way. Pu, pu, pu. This included the two Meteor Rank knights and the Heaven ranked Mage, who forcefully tried to cast instantaneous magic. Everyone’s bodies were pierced through with the spear. As for the magic? Faced with the high-­pressure air blast that rolled out from Xue Ying’s spear, the puny sharp blade-like attack magic just vanished into thin air. The magic couldn’t even touch the spear’s surface. Xue Ying had successfully killed more than 30 bandits. All the other bandits had already fled. Some went downhill, some went uphill. All in all, they fled in every direction. Xue Ying didn’t care! After all, as long as the powerful backbone was gone, the rest were just helpless minions. “Eh?” Xue Ying glanced down at the several corpses of the most powerful Bandit leaders. Nowadays, his external sense was sharper. He walked closer to the corpse and saw the Big Boss’s magic storage armband. Xue Ying extended his spear. Clang! Forced by the spear, the armband immediately detached from the arm. Xue Ying then picked it up with his spear, and the armband flew into his hand. “My lord, please save us!” “My lord, please save us!” the hostages pleaded. Those tied up hostages consisted of the elderly, some middle aged adults and a young couple. Their clothes were quite luxurious. They were afraid that if this powerful person left them, the bandits would return to capture them. “Pu, pu, pu……” Xue Ying walked past them as he casually waved his spear. His spearhead slashed the ropes. In a flash, the hostages had regained their freedom. “Thank you, Lord, for saving our lives!” A white bearded elder respectfully greeted Xue Ying and then immediately murmured an order to the other people nearby, “Gather the goods and give them to the Lord.” The merchants swiftly gathered all the valuables. Not only their goods, which had been looted by the bandits before but the bandits’ possessions as well. They searched the bandits’ corpses for money, gold notes and other valuable possessions. In a short time, they had already gathered and stacked all of the valuable goods, including a Star Breaking Crossbow, together. “My lord, these were all of the bandits’ possessions, including our own merchandise which they’d looted before. All of this we give to you, my lord, as our thanks. Thank you for saving our lives,” the white bearded elder said. Xue Ying glanced at them. That thick, high stack of gold notes were mainly from the “Eight Frozen Jade Eagles.” The other two Meteor rank Knights didn’t have any magical storage items. They had only been carrying a little bit of money and a few items on their bodies. “Okay.” Xue Ying only collected the gold notes. The gold notes were worth around 80,000-90,000 gold coins. “You can take the other things, including the Star Breaking Crossbow. Maybe with it you can all protect yourselves? In what state is your looted caravan? And your horses?” “The others are already dead, and the horses were the first to go. The Eight Frozen Jade Eagle simply didn’t care for our horses,” the old man with a white beard explained. Xue Ying nodded, “Please hasten, I will escort you through this Frozen Jade Mountain Valley. After we’ve crossed this valley, I will leave you all.” “Thank you my lord, thank you my lord.” The white bearded elder quickly kneeled and kowtowed. The others also quickly followed him, kneeling and kowtowing. This Frozen Jade Mountain Valley was occupied by numerous bandit groups. They were just a group of old and young people. Without Xue Ying’s help, it would be really hard for them to get out alive from this valley. “Quickly, I will not wait for you.” Xue Ying had already jumped down. The distance until the bottom of the hill was around 200 miles, but Xue Ying didn’t care. He directly jumped to the bottom, peng, the ground was shaken. He didn’t even have to bend his knees. “Not bad.” Xue Ying bound the magical storage item. The storage space was only half the size of the space provided by the magic storage pendant his mother gave him. “The bandit leaders’ gold notes were worth another 150,000 gold coins. My Snowrock Castle was short on money, but now I’ve already gained this much.” Although he had sold the Shadow Leopard’s skin and the other valuable body parts for several tens thousands gold coins, when his brother had become a personal disciple, Xue Ying had gifted his brother with a fine magical storage space item and a magic staff. Common magic staves were already worth more than 5,000 gold coins. Because Qing Shi’s magic power was still weak, he still couldn’t efficiently showcase a high grade magic staff’s power. But Xue Ying had given Qing Shi a large capacity magical storage item. Xue Ying had spent 50,000 gold coins for the magical storage item, and its capacity was also two times bigger than his mother’s magic storage pendant. When his power had reached Legend rank, Xue Ying had also changed his inner armor to second grade refined protection armor. So when he battled with other Legend ranker experts, the armor could now at least protect his vital points. He had also exchanged his boots and clothes with ones made from refined material. But these had still been cheap. The expensive one had been his inner armor, which had cost 30,000 gold coins! So Xue Ying was now short on money. Had become jolly just for several ten thousands gold coins? If other Legend rank experts knew this, they would laugh. After all, Legend ranked experts, what kind of status did they have? After escorting these dozen people who had been lucky enough to keep their lives out of Frozen Jade Mountain Valley, Xue Ying no longer cared for them. He split from them and then spurred the Snowstrider Horse. At dawn on the second day, Xue Ying continued his journey. After a whole day of riding, he had finally arrived at the Prefecture City of Azure River County at dusk. “After two full days on the road, I’ve finally arrived. This is the Prefecture City of Azure River County?” Xue Ying looked into the distance. In the distance stood a huge, majestic city. The city was so big, it was difficult for normal people to see where it ended. Atop this majestic city wall, after each mile there was a mounted black sphere. Each black sphere’s surface was decorated with a golden pattern. The whole majestic city emitted some kind of invisible power. Common people couldn’t sense this invisible power but Xue Ying had a sharp Qi sensory ability. With his extraordinary sense, he could detect this invisible power. The Prefecture City of Azure River County had more than ten million citizens. Compared to Dragon Mountain Manor and the Empire, this city had a much longer history. As a matter of fact, Provincial and Prefecture cities usually had long histories. Although the dynasties changed, this kind of ancient city would continue to exist under the new reign. The city was also fortified with magic, making it more impregnable. The Provincial capital was even more formidable. Each city could have more than 100 million citizens. Its size was more imposing, almost like an independent country. It is said that even the Gods’ conjoined forces still couldn’t shake the provincial capital’s defense. “This is truly eye-opening. I feel that if the entire defence of this Azure River County’s prefectural city fully activated, every black sphere could easily kill me. That black sphere’s power is absolutely at the Transcendent power level.” Xue Ying sighed. However he was unaware that each time they were activated, these black spheres consumed an astonishing amount of energy. “Enter.” Still riding his Snowstrider Horse, Xue Ying entered the huge, majestic Prefectural city of Azure River County.

Living things beware! ……\nQin Feng was very satisfied with the fusion of the Snow Leopard and the Green Wolf Mastiff. With a slight thought, a shaggy, basketball-sized Glacial Snow Mastiff ran out of the System. Its claws clung to Qin Feng’s shoes and nibbled at them. It seemed hungry.\nQin Feng really liked this cutie. It was covered in green fur and looked like both a leopard and a Tibetan mastiff. He picked a fruit from the tree and tossed it at the Glacial Snow Mastiff, who excitedly lay on the floor and began to nibble the food.\nQin Feng rescinded his thoughts and opened the fusion function again to fuse an Air Battle Pet.\nThis time, Qin Feng chose two birds: the Golden Eagle and the Gyrfalcon.\nThe Golden Eagle was considered a large bird of prey. Its body was 76 to 102 centimeters long, its wingspan was over 2.3 meters, and it weighed from 2 to 7.2 kilograms. It preyed on tens of animals such as geese, ducks, common pheasants, squirrels, siberian roe deer, hares, etc. It also sometimes ate sika deer, pronged antelopes, coyotes, grey wolves, and other large animals.\nThe Gyrfalcon’s scientific name is Falco Rusticolus, and in the Su Shen Dialect, it’s “Xiong Ku Lu.” It’s the world’s fastest bird and can fly the highest as well, so its name means “the god of ten thousand eagles.” Legend has it that there was only one Gyrfalcon in every ten thousand godly eagles. [TLN: Su Shen is an ancient ethnic group in China’s northeast.]\nUnder Qin Feng’s order, the System’s furnace used to fuse pets began to spin again. Half a minute later, a newly fused creature slowly rose and entered the System’s Pet Inventory.\nQin Feng immediately opened his Pet Inventory to look at his newly fused Air battle pet.\nHP: 1\nBattle Power: 1\nAgility: 1\nSkill: Death Blaze (Fireballs shoot out of the mouth and incinerate enemies)\nHidden Skill: Wild Winds and Gigantic Flames (The Flaming Golden Eagle flaps its wings, creating aerial waves of fire and causing AOE damage.)\nStatus: Elementary Cute Pet\nSystem Announcement: You have obtained the Flaming Golden Eagle with this fusion, along with the Golden Eagle’s fierceness and the Gyrfalcon’s maximum speed. Mortals beware! ……\nWith a slight thought, a little eagle appeared, dancing happily in the air. It was completely white, had a tuft of hair on its head, and the feathers on the tips of the sharp wings and tail appeared gold. The golden feathers on its side moved with the wind like a burning flame, and its body was a spotless, snow white; it looked like a fire raging in the snow.\nQin Feng called over his successfully fused Glacial Snow Mastiff and Flaming Golden Eagle and said to them with a gentle expression: “Snow Mastiff, Golden Eagle, you two train well in this forest from here on out. No matter what happens, you have to stick together: fight together and advance or retreat together, understood?”\nThe Snow Mastiff jumped and licked Qin Feng in the face. The Golden Eagle flew around Qin Feng’s head nonstop while lifting its head to whistle.\nThese two spirit-type battle pets could both feel the atmosphere of a farewell and didn’t want to leave Qin Feng. Qin Feng created these battle pets, so he was both their father and mother. Also, they had to leave their parents and wander alone in the real world, so Qin Feng didn’t want to leave them either.\nIf you don’t experience winds and rain, how would you see a rainbow? Everyone has this moment, and must face it.\nAcropolis City, Qin Residence Villa\nThree men sat in the lounge of the first floor: Qin Huang sat on the sofa while Qin Feng and another handsome man sitting tall and straight sat on both sides of him.\nThis man and Qin Feng were of similar age, and he looked similar to Qin Feng. He was Qin Feng’s Tang-Di, Qin Ye, from Jincheng City’s Qin Family. In Jincheng City, he was called “Prince Wen.” [TLN: “Tang-Di” refers to a younger patrilineal male cousin.]\nThe atmosphere in the lounge was a bit cold and solemn. Once Qin Feng returned from the mountain resort, he received Qin Huang’s call to hurry back to the Qin Manor. Once he got back, he saw Qin Ye sitting in his house.\nQin Feng had just heard the name of the mastermind behind Hua Ming from Hua Ming’s mouth, and it was someone known as “Prince Wen.” Qin Feng wasn’t someone from Jincheng City, so he never heard of Jincheng City’s Prince Wen. However, Qin Ye’s nickname “Prince Wen” was as famous as Young Master Qin’s name in Acropolis City. If someone wanted to make inquiries about it, it was very easy to do so.\n“Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I haven’t paid a visit to you in a long time, I hope you’ll forgive me!” Qin Ye broke the cold and solemn atmosphere. He held a sandalwood fan, and every time he fanned it, a fragrant scent wafted everywhere. [TLN: “Tang-Ge” refers to an older patrilineal male cousin.]\n“Ye’er, coming to the Qin Manor in Acropolis is like coming to your own home. Your Eldest Uncle is usually busy with business and has no time to visit you, so I’m gratified that you’ve taken the initiative to visit.” Qin Huang’s face was filled with a cordial smile. No one could tell what he was currently thinking.\n“Eldest Uncle, I just came back from America, and once I landed, I heard that something happened in your family recently so I immediately rushed over. I come as a representative for my father and older brother to see if there was anything we could help with.” The fan in Qin Ye’s hand was neither hurried nor slow, and the fan’s fragrance permeated the entire house.\nQin Feng, who was quiet the whole time, turned towards Qin Ye and said quickly and forcefully: “Tang-Di, you said you just came back from America?”\n“That’s right Tang-Ge, I was studying abroad in America. The foreign girls there are really beautiful, if you have time, you should go play, Tang-Ge. I’m sure it fits your taste.” Qin Ye stopped there and awkwardly coughed twice. Then, he said with a laugh: “Uh… It was because I was in America for a while. If I was in China and heard that something happened to Eldest Uncle’s family, I would have rushed over to help a long time ago.”\nLast night, Qin Feng discovered that the criminal behind Hua Ming was someone called “Prince Wen.” Today, Tang-Di who goes by the name “Prince Wen” came through the door to visit. Qin Feng felt that this was a bit coincidental. However, after knowing that Qin Ye just returned from America, Qin Feng couldn’t be certain that this was related to him or if he had created the present conditions while in America.\n“Haha, Ye’er, Eldest Uncle appreciates your kindness, but nothing big happened here. Some small things happened earlier, but they’ve all been taken care of. Go back and tell your father not to worry. If something big really does happen, I'll ask for your help,” Qin Huang said as he continued to smile.\n“Of course, of course. Though we’re in different cities in Yun Province, we're all members of the Qin Family in the provincial capital, and the same blood runs through our veins. We need to join hands and support one another.”\nQin Ye suddenly stood and looked at Qin Feng and Qin Huang with a smile. He was quiet for a moment, and then slowly began to speak: “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I know that a lot of things happened in the Qin Manor recently, and it seems as if people are joining forces against you. Once I heard this, I specifically sent people to secretly investigate, and I found that Sky City’s Hua Family is a bit suspicious.\n“Recently, they keep monitoring the Qin Manor, and they’re secretly contacting people in preparation of attacking the Qin Manor together. My father has a spy in the inner part of the Hua Family, and based on these dependable reports, after the Hua Family unites with these people, they plan to create rumors and cause inner strife in the Qin Family so we get suspicious of one another, clash, and kill each other.”\nAfter saying this, Qin Ye suddenly burst into laughter: “Haha, Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, isn’t it funny? Our Qin Family has been united the whole time and we coexist harmoniously, how could we be affected by some words from outsiders? Father was extremely angry when he found out about the Hua Family’s conduct. He’s already used all of the power of Jincheng City’s Qin Family to suppress the Hua Family. I trust that not long later, the Hua Family will be wiped off the face of the planet.\n“Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, if you’ve discovered any other powers trying to mess with our Qin Family, you must tell the younger generation. I’ll get Older Brother and Father, and we’ll fight side by side. How could these little fish and shrimp trample our Qin Family’s prestige so easily?”\nThe more Qin Ye spoke, the more excitable he became. In the end, he snapped his sandalwood fan in two. Too bad he was Prince Wen. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, and had a good reputation among the people in Jincheng City, but he didn’t practice martial arts. At this time, since he used too much strength, the wood violently pierced his palm and scarlet blood poured out.\n“Ye’er, you’re so careless… Butler Wang, hurry and bring over the medical kit.” Qin Feng immediately rose and arrived beside Qin Ye.\nButler Wang quickly ran over in a large sweat with the medical kit in tow. Qin Huang sat beside Qin Ye and personally dressed his wound for him.\n“Haha, Eldest Uncle, you’re like my dad, you take care of me so well.” Qin Ye watched Qin Huang dress his wound and suddenly said: “I was too agitated at first, but I can’t stand those lowly people that try to cause internal strife in our Qin Family. I just hate them!”\n“Ye’er, don’t think too much about it. You’re right, we’re all Qin Family members, how could there be disharmony in the family due to some words from outsiders? Our eyes are sharp, and time will reveal a man’s heart!” Qin Huang sighed as he spoke.\nThese words carried a deep moral, and Qin Ye didn’t continue the conversation. After the wound was dressed, he stood and prepared to take his leave: “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I was a nuisance for coming here today. I just got off the plane and came straight here to see you two, so I haven’t even gone home yet. My father is probably awaiting my return so I won’t stay long. When I have time, I’ll come visit.”\n“Okay, travel safely.” Qin Huang glanced at Qin Feng: “Feng’er, send off Ye’er for me.”" } ]

He picked a fruit from the tree and tossed it at the Glacial Snow Mastiff, who excitedly lay on the floor and began to nibble the food. Qin Feng rescinded his thoughts and opened the fusion function again to fuse an Air Battle Pet. This time, Qin Feng chose two birds: the Golden Eagle and the Gyrfalcon. The Golden Eagle was considered a large bird of prey. Its body was 76 to 102 centimeters long, its wingspan was over 2.3 meters, and it weighed from 2 to 7.2 kilograms. It preyed on tens of animals such as geese, ducks, common pheasants, squirrels, siberian roe deer, hares, etc. It also sometimes ate sika deer, pronged antelopes, coyotes, grey wolves, and other large animals.

Everyone has this moment, and must face it. Acropolis City, Qin Residence Villa Three men sat in the lounge of the first floor: Qin Huang sat on the sofa while Qin Feng and another handsome man sitting tall and straight sat on both sides of him. This man and Qin Feng were of similar age, and he looked similar to Qin Feng. He was Qin Feng’s Tang-Di, Qin Ye, from Jincheng City’s Qin Family. In Jincheng City, he was called “Prince Wen.” [TLN: “Tang-Di” refers to a younger patrilineal male cousin.] The atmosphere in the lounge was a bit cold and solemn. Once Qin Feng returned from the mountain resort, he received Qin Huang’s call to hurry back to the Qin Manor. Once he got back, he saw Qin Ye sitting in his house. Qin Feng had just heard the name of the mastermind behind Hua Ming from Hua Ming’s mouth, and it was someone known as “Prince Wen.” Qin Feng wasn’t someone from Jincheng City, so he never heard of Jincheng City’s Prince Wen. However, Qin Ye’s nickname “Prince Wen” was as famous as Young Master Qin’s name in Acropolis City. If someone wanted to make inquiries about it, it was very easy to do so. “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I haven’t paid a visit to you in a long time, I hope you’ll forgive me!” Qin Ye broke the cold and solemn atmosphere. He held a sandalwood fan, and every time he fanned it, a fragrant scent wafted everywhere. [TLN: “Tang-Ge” refers to an older patrilineal male cousin.] “Ye’er, coming to the Qin Manor in Acropolis is like coming to your own home. Your Eldest Uncle is usually busy with business and has no time to visit you, so I’m gratified that you’ve taken the initiative to visit.” Qin Huang’s face was filled with a cordial smile. No one could tell what he was currently thinking. “Eldest Uncle, I just came back from America, and once I landed, I heard that something happened in your family recently so I immediately rushed over. I come as a representative for my father and older brother to see if there was anything we could help with.” The fan in Qin Ye’s hand was neither hurried nor slow, and the fan’s fragrance permeated the entire house. Qin Feng, who was quiet the whole time, turned towards Qin Ye and said quickly and forcefully: “Tang-Di, you said you just came back from America?” “That’s right Tang-Ge, I was studying abroad in America. The foreign girls there are really beautiful, if you have time, you should go play, Tang-Ge. I’m sure it fits your taste.” Qin Ye stopped there and awkwardly coughed twice. Then, he said with a laugh: “Uh… It was because I was in America for a while. If I was in China and heard that something happened to Eldest Uncle’s family, I would have rushed over to help a long time ago.” Last night, Qin Feng discovered that the criminal behind Hua Ming was someone called “Prince Wen.” Today, Tang-Di who goes by the name “Prince Wen” came through the door to visit. Qin Feng felt that this was a bit coincidental. However, after knowing that Qin Ye just returned from America, Qin Feng couldn’t be certain that this was related to him or if he had created the present conditions while in America. “Haha, Ye’er, Eldest Uncle appreciates your kindness, but nothing big happened here. Some small things happened earlier, but they’ve all been taken care of. Go back and tell your father not to worry. If something big really does happen, I'll ask for your help,” Qin Huang said as he continued to smile. “Of course, of course. Though we’re in different cities in Yun Province, we're all members of the Qin Family in the provincial capital, and the same blood runs through our veins. We need to join hands and support one another.” Qin Ye suddenly stood and looked at Qin Feng and Qin Huang with a smile. He was quiet for a moment, and then slowly began to speak: “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I know that a lot of things happened in the Qin Manor recently, and it seems as if people are joining forces against you. Once I heard this, I specifically sent people to secretly investigate, and I found that Sky City’s Hua Family is a bit suspicious. “Recently, they keep monitoring the Qin Manor, and they’re secretly contacting people in preparation of attacking the Qin Manor together. My father has a spy in the inner part of the Hua Family, and based on these dependable reports, after the Hua Family unites with these people, they plan to create rumors and cause inner strife in the Qin Family so we get suspicious of one another, clash, and kill each other.” After saying this, Qin Ye suddenly burst into laughter: “Haha, Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, isn’t it funny? Our Qin Family has been united the whole time and we coexist harmoniously, how could we be affected by some words from outsiders? Father was extremely angry when he found out about the Hua Family’s conduct. He’s already used all of the power of Jincheng City’s Qin Family to suppress the Hua Family. I trust that not long later, the Hua Family will be wiped off the face of the planet. “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, if you’ve discovered any other powers trying to mess with our Qin Family, you must tell the younger generation. I’ll get Older Brother and Father, and we’ll fight side by side. How could these little fish and shrimp trample our Qin Family’s prestige so easily?” The more Qin Ye spoke, the more excitable he became. In the end, he snapped his sandalwood fan in two. Too bad he was Prince Wen. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, and had a good reputation among the people in Jincheng City, but he didn’t practice martial arts. At this time, since he used too much strength, the wood violently pierced his palm and scarlet blood poured out. “Ye’er, you’re so careless… Butler Wang, hurry and bring over the medical kit.” Qin Feng immediately rose and arrived beside Qin Ye. Butler Wang quickly ran over in a large sweat with the medical kit in tow. Qin Huang sat beside Qin Ye and personally dressed his wound for him. “Haha, Eldest Uncle, you’re like my dad, you take care of me so well.” Qin Ye watched Qin Huang dress his wound and suddenly said: “I was too agitated at first, but I can’t stand those lowly people that try to cause internal strife in our Qin Family. I just hate them!” “Ye’er, don’t think too much about it. You’re right, we’re all Qin Family members, how could there be disharmony in the family due to some words from outsiders? Our eyes are sharp, and time will reveal a man’s heart!” Qin Huang sighed as he spoke. These words carried a deep moral, and Qin Ye didn’t continue the conversation. After the wound was dressed, he stood and prepared to take his leave: “Tang-Ge, Eldest Uncle, I was a nuisance for coming here today. I just got off the plane and came straight here to see you two, so I haven’t even gone home yet. My father is probably awaiting my return so I won’t stay long. When I have time, I’ll come visit.” “Okay, travel safely.” Qin Huang glanced at Qin Feng: “Feng’er, send off Ye’er for me.”

Eyes narrowed, he stared at the silhouette of Medanzo’s tall back and sneered, “This war is going badly, to say the least. I really must see how you’re planning to explain this to the council.”\nMedanzo snorted and replied coldly, “Why would I need to explain anything to a group of trash? Don’t forget that you also have half the commanding authority here.”\nNoxus let out a sinister laugh. “But you hold the highest commanding authority in name. After all, one simply cannot sully the honor of the Queen of the Night. This battle result will probably make Her Majesty Lilith rather... unhappy, don’t you think? If I were you, I might head over and pit myself against that Zhang Boqian and see just how capable that newly promoted heavenly monarch is.”\nMedanzo’s expression was gloomy, but he refused to comment. How could he not see the instigation in Noxus’ words? But there was hardly any way for him to retort. He really might’ve fought it out with Zhang Boqian if it wasn’t for Noxus eyeing him. However, Medanzo knew that if he were to become gravely injured at this point, Noxus wouldn’t mind sending him into a long hibernation in the blood pond.\nIn the eyes of these experts who had lived for millennia, the so-called bigger picture wasn’t a balance in power or a contest of heroism. To these dark monarchs, the biggest aim was to stay alive and deal a fatal blow to the other at the slightest opportunity.\nMedanzo and Noxus had clashed countless times since the beginning of the battle at Giant’s Repose, but neither could do anything to the other.\nMeanwhile in the imperial camp, Zhang Boqian, who was resting on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes. “Those little fellows have done pretty well!” He got up to dress and disappeared outside of the quiet room.\nThe courtyard of the main tent was different from when Song Zining had visited back then. The dense leaves of the eucalyptus seemed to have grown even more luxuriant within a short ten days, its numerous aerial root standing out oddly in the dry climate of Evernight Continent. From afar, it looked like a hanging curtain was hiding the tents from view until only the hatchways were visible on the domed roofs.\nHowever, after stepping through it, one would find a completely different scene. The hundred-meter open space was actually filled with a pool of rippling blue water and lingering curls of milky-white steam. This area was clearly warmer and more humid than the outside, forming an inexplicable scene of elegance. Apparently, this was a large origin array.\nThere was a small pavilion at the center big enough for only a table and four lamps. Lin Xitang was sitting on one side of it and pondering deeply with a chess piece in his hand, his hair—a mixture of grey and silver—hanging loose behind him.\nAcross him was a kind-looking man in his fifties with a square face, big ears, and a chubby build. From the outside, this person looked more like a merchant from the continent than a soldier. Gu Tuohai was two years Lin Xitang’s senior, but the traces of age on his facial features were much deeper.\nZhang Boqian appeared in the pavilion with a flicker. He shot a glance at the chessboard before picking up a black piece from Gu Tuohai’s chess box and slamming it into a large, white-dominant area of the board. The placement of this piece would produce a fierce melee clash no matter how Lin Xitang were to respond.\nThe latter let out a long sigh and returned his white piece to the box. “This again… You were never my match yet you always have to disrupt the game... not to mention never by the rules, either. So what if you get an extra turn? You’ll still lose in the end.”\nZhang Boqian replied indifferently, “An extra turn might not turn the tables, but it’ll eventually come after snatching two or three. Your strategies are admittedly quite excellent, but not everyone will play by your rules. Now you’ve grown so bold that you’re getting involved with Lilith. Are you looking to die?”\nZhang Boqian was talking to Lin Xitang, but Gu Tuohai was the one feeling most awkward at this moment. He said with a cough, “Prince Greensun, I have naturally attempted to dissuade this matter, but how can Xitang be willing to listen to me?”\nZhang Boqian shot a glance at Gu Tuohai. “Doctor Gu, the reason His Majesty had you move the entire Reed Formation over here is to heal his injuries, correct? Not to kill him. Patients should recuperate quietly and not get involved in other things. You’re a doctor. Must I remind you about such common knowledge?”\nZhang Boqian said coldly, “You’re not the only one who knows divination in this empire. Since it’s related to the national fate, you should let those bastards sharing your authority come to the front lines. Don’t tell me you want to take all the credit on your own?”\nLin Xitang could only laugh wryly at Zhang Boqian’s sarcastic words. He then diverted the topic and said, “You must have something to say when you came over.”\nZhang Boqian’s expression relaxed a bit at the mention of proper business. “Those young fellows have done pretty well this time.”\nLin Xitang stood up with a smile and said, “That’s great news! How many moldable talents did you find?”\n“Bai Aotu has paved a straight path to the divine champion level, it’ll only be a matter of time afterward. Zhao Jundu indeed lives up to his name. My nephew, Munian, is a bit inferior to those two, but still managed not to sully the family name.” Zhang Boqian listed the names of a few more from other aristocratic families, then said, “Additionally, Li Kuanglan also gave me a delightful surprise.”\nLin Xitang’s expression was somewhat complicated. “That person is definitely not bad. How about Song Zining? He’s fought several fierce battles under your banner.”\nZhang Boqian said indifferently, “He’s smart but too scheming, always looking to make use of others to succeed. Just like you, he’ll encounter great obstructions along the path to the top.”\n“You’re wrong about this. Song Zining and I are completely different.” Lin Xitang shook his head. “Boqian, sooner or later, you’ll suffer for underestimating the power of divination.”\nZhang Boqian sneered. “It’ll be a small loss at most. My retaliation at that time will be that person’s demise.”\nTheir debates regarding this matter had never yielded any results. Lin Xitang spoke no more about this and only said, “This matter will be much easier since the young ones have performed beyond expectation, so the opportunity to mobilize is right before us. I’ll make the necessary preparations first. Then, I’ll have to trouble Brother Tuohai to send me back to the imperial capital.”\n“Not a problem.” Gu Tuohai couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing how half of Lin Xitang’s silver hair had lost their luster.\nThe latter didn’t mind, however, and simply returned to his room after exchanging farewells. Gu Tuohai was also about to leave, but his body was suddenly frozen, bound by a powerful, formless force.\nZhang Boqian’s eyes were on the blue water and curling mist as he asked flatly, “Any changes at the imperial capital that I should know of?”\nGu Tuohai’s expression shifted slightly, and he couldn’t help but look in the direction where Lin Xitang had left. He knew not how Zhang Boqian had figured out that Lin Xitang was hiding some things from him. Gu Tuohai hesitated for a moment, then said, “Three of Lin Xitang’s body doubles have died at the capital.”\nZhang Boqian was unexpectedly calm. “Does His Majesty not care?”\nGu Tuohai laughed wryly. “No one can dissuade Xitang on something he’s decided. When has His Majesty ever managed to outtalk him?”\nZhang Boqian snorted coldly. “What is the actual situation with his injury? Is there really no way to recover from the darkness origin flames of the flaming crown?”\n“The darkness origin flame can chill one to the bone when it acts up, but in truth, its existence has always been canceling out a part of the backlash from the reverse divination.”\n“Reverse?!” Zhang Boqian seemed to have understood Gu Tuohai’s unspoken implication. “Is there any other method to remedy it?”\nGu Tuohai hesitated for a long while before whispering, “That there is, but all of them are forbidden techniques.”\nZhang Boqian stood silently with his arms behind him. “The so-called forbidden is a rule laid down by humans. If others can create rules, so can I!”\nGu Tuohai said after a moment of silence, “Prince Greensun, please consider it carefully.”\nZhang Boqian, with a wave of his hand, released Gu Tuohai from his bindings. The pale man immediately turned to leave but turned back after taking a couple of steps. “Xitang won’t be willing.”\nZhang Boqian’s tone caused one to tremble. “He might not have a choice in this matter.”\nQianye was driving rapidly through the wildness and toward Blackflow City. The journey was fairly peaceful, and oftentimes, there wasn’t a single person around. The occasional hunters and dark race stragglers would avoid him after seeing the imperial regular army insignia on his car.\nThe empire and Evernight Council were confronting one another at this moment. Experts were as abundant as the clouds and champions as numerous as the rain. No one—no matter how greedy or ruthless—would dare to make a move against the regular armies of the two factions.\nAs such, Qianye arrived at the rendezvous point after several days. It was a desolate valley surrounded by complex geography and several tunnels weaving in and out, all of which made for an extremely suitable hiding place.\nQianye parked the jeep at the entrance and walked into the valley on foot. At the center of the valley was a small stream which snaked dozens of kilometers before merging into a larger river.\nNighteye was sitting on its bank and fishing with some makeshift equipment. However, her thoughts clearly weren’t on the line. She didn’t move at all despite large fish biting several times, allowing the creatures to escape the hook and swim toward freedom.\nQianye sat down beside her. “What are you thinking about?”\n“This place is very similar to where I lived when I was young. There was a similar valley near my father’s castle where I loved to play. After I grew up, most of my combat training was also done in that valley,” Nighteye spoke calmly.\nQianye reached out and pulled Nighteye into his arms. “Past is past, we should be thinking about living a new life. In the near future, we’ll definitely make that so-called Holy Son pay a steep price!”\nNighteye nodded, but her expression betrayed her skepticism. Qianye didn’t continue either because such things were better executed once one was strong enough. There was no practical meaning in spouting fierce words.\nNighteye leaned her head in Qianye’s arms and closed her eyes. “Say, do you think I can live in the empire?”\n“You definitely can.”\n“Okay, I’ll try. But… will you get tired after seeing me every day?”\n“Impossible,” Qianye said with a smile.\nNighteye spoke no more, and the valley regained its silence.\nAfter a long while, Qianye patted Nighteye lightly and said, “Time to go, I have a friend waiting for us! That’s my good brother, you can look for him if you’re in trouble and I’m not around.”\nNighteye said with a smile, “I’ll follow you from now on. What trouble can there be?”\nThe two walked out of the valley and, after half a day’s drive, arrived at a small town outside of Blackflow City. Previous ChapterNext Chapter" } ]
章六十八 这时厅门被推开，洛克萨走了进来。 他微眯双眼，盯着梅丹佐那高大背影，冷笑道：“此次战事不力，我倒要看看你准备如何向议会解释。” 梅丹佐重重哼了一声，寒声道：“我还需要向议会那群废物解释？ 别忘了，这里的指挥你也有份。” 但是这个战绩，恐怕莉莉丝陛下的颜面也不会好看吧？ 我若是你，说不定会去和对面的张伯谦较量一下，看看人族那个新晋天王究竟有多大本事。” 梅丹佐面沉如水，不予作答。 若没洛克萨在旁边虎视眈眈，他说不定真会去和张伯谦大战一场。 然而现在如果梅丹佐就这样去和张伯谦决战，一旦身受重伤，洛克萨绝不会介意顺手把他送去血池长眠。 如他们这种活了上千年的顶级强者，所谓大局绝非什么势力平衡，豪雄角逐，在黑暗大君们的眼中，只要自己活着，那就是大局，一旦有机会立刻会毫不犹豫地置对手于死地。 自巨兽之眠开战以来，梅丹佐和洛克萨之间明里暗里的交锋已经不知道多少次了，彼此还是奈何不了对方。 在帝国中军大营中，靠在榻上假寐的张伯谦忽然张开双眼，自语道：“小家伙们这次干得不错！” 他起身披衣，一步就消失在静室门外。 主帐营区的中庭与宋子宁当初来时有了些不同，树冠本就浓密的榕树在短短十多天里仿佛又茂盛了许多，并且与永夜大陆的干燥天气格格不入，挂下了许多气根，远望有若垂帘，把后面数顶大帐遮得只能看见圆顶上的天窗。 那百多平米空地竟然是一汪涟涟碧水，乳白色的雾气袅袅蒸腾，期间生长着各种不知名的水生植物，景色说不出的清幽雅致。 这片区域明显比外面温暖湿润，黎明原力的气息十分浓郁，显然是一个大范围的原力法阵。 水中央有个仅能容纳一桌四凳的小凉亭，林熙棠端坐一侧，长发半银半灰，随意披在身后，手捻一颗棋子，正自沉思。 在他对面，则是一个方头大耳，面容和善，年过五旬的男人，身材很有些发福，只看外表，更像帝国内陆的富商而非军人。 顾拓海比林熙棠年长两岁，不过眉梢眼角的岁月痕迹却要深刻得多。 人影一闪，张伯谦已然出现在亭中。 他向棋局扫了一眼，顾拓海手边的棋盒里忽然自行跳出一颗黑子，啪地一声砸在棋盘上白方所围的一片辽阔区域内。 此子一落，无论林熙棠如何应对，都必是硝烟四起，短兵相接的惨烈厮杀局面。 林熙棠叹一口气，将手中白子扔回棋盒，道：“又是这样，你对局又不是我对手，却总是来搅局，往往还不顾规矩。 就算让你抢先了一子，又能如何，还不是个输？” 张伯谦淡道：“抢一子赢不了，就抢两子、三子，总有赢的时候。 你布局固然精妙，可不是什么人都肯陪着你按你的规矩来玩的。 现在你倒是胆子越来越大了，居然又把主意打到莉莉丝头上去，是嫌命长了吗？” 张伯谦虽是对着林熙棠在说话，但是对面顾拓海却是满脸尴尬，咳嗽一声，道：“青阳王，这个......我也是苦劝过的，可是熙棠怎么肯听我的？” 张伯谦终于向顾拓海望了一眼，“顾先生，陛下这么兴师动众地让你把整座‘蒹葭’法阵搬过来，是想治好他的伤，不是想治死他的吧？ 病人就该静养，别插手其它事情，你是医生，这点常识难道还用我多说？” 张伯谦冰冷地道：“帝国可不是只有你一个人会天衍术，既然事关国运，更该让那些要和你分权的家伙也到前线来，难道你想一个人把所有的战功都立了？” 张伯谦话语中极尽反讽之意，林熙棠也只能苦笑，转开话题道：“你此时过来，应该有其他事情要说吧？” 提到正事，张伯谦脸色终于稍稍和缓，说：“这次小家伙们干得不错。” 林熙棠微笑起身，道：“这可是个好消息！ 都有哪些可造之才？” “白凹凸应已铺平跨越神将之路，后面只是时间问题，赵君度的确不负盛名，我那穆年侄儿虽然比他们两个还差上一线，却也没有折堕家名。” 张伯谦又点了几个世家子的名字后，突然说道：“此外，李狂澜也给了我不少惊喜。” 宋子宁呢？ 他在你麾下也打过几场硬仗了。” 张伯谦淡淡地道：“他足够聪明，但心思太多，总想借人成事，就像你一样，将来登顶之时会有莫大障碍。” “这你恐怕看错了，宋子宁和我是完全不同的两种人。” 林熙棠摇了摇头，“伯谦，你总是小看推衍天机之术，早晚要在这上面吃亏。” 张伯谦冷笑道：“至多让我吃个小亏罢了，那时我的反击，就是对方取死之道！” 两人在此事上的争论从来没有结果，林熙棠不再多说，而是道：“既然小家伙们干得比我预料的还要好，那件事就会容易得多。 发动的时机就在眼前，我去做些准备，还要麻烦拓海兄送我回帝都。” “没有问题。” 顾拓海看着林熙棠那头已经过半失去光泽的银发应道，却终是忍不住叹了口气。 林熙棠不以为意，和两人打过招呼就径自回房去了。 顾拓海也要离开，刚迈出一步，忽然全身僵硬，被无形大力束缚住，一步也动不得。 张伯谦眼望雾气袅袅的碧水，淡淡地问：“帝都还有什么我应该知道的变故吗？” 顾拓海脸色微变，忍不住抬头去看林熙棠离开的方向，他甚至都不知道张伯谦是怎么猜出林熙棠瞒了些消息。 顾拓海犹豫了一下，说：“熙棠留在帝都的替身死了第三个了。” 张伯谦出乎意料地平静，只问：“陛下不管管吗？” 顾拓海苦笑，“熙棠认准要做的事情，谁说都没用，陛下哪次拗得过他？” 张伯谦冷冷地哼了一声，又道：“他的伤势现在到底是个什么情况，火之冠冕的黑暗原火就真的找不到任何恢复之法？” “黑暗原火在发作时会让人冷入骨髓，但事实上，有它存在也一直在抵冲部分逆行天演术的反噬。” “逆行？ ！” 张伯谦显然听懂了顾拓海的言外之意，脸色一寒，“还有什么补救办法吗？” 顾拓海这次犹豫了很长一段时间，才小声说：“有是有的，但那都是些禁忌之术。” 别人能定的规矩，我一样能定！” 顾拓海随之沉默，许久才道：“青阳王三思。” 张伯谦抬了抬手，顾拓海身上束缚尽去，他脸色苍白地转身就走，迈出两步，却还是回头道：“熙棠不会愿意的。” 荒野上，千夜驾车疾驶，一路向着黑流城而去。 路途上十分平静，经常半天也看不到一个人影。 偶尔有猎人或黑暗种族的游骑兵出没，远远看到越野车上帝国主力军团标识，都会悄悄退避。 此刻帝国和永夜议会大军对峙，强者如云，战将似雨。 即使是再贪婪狠毒的角色，也不敢对两大阵营的正规军下手。 如是日夜不停，数日后千夜就到和夜瞳约定的地点。 那是一座荒僻山谷，地形复杂，有数个通道出口，十分适宜隐藏。 千夜将越野车停在谷口，徒步走进山谷。 山谷中央有道小河，曲曲弯弯流出数十公里外，然后汇入一条大河。 夜瞳正坐在河边，用自制的钓具在钓鱼。 可是她的心思明显不在钓鱼上，好几次大鱼咬钩，她都动也不动，任由那些大鱼挣脱鱼钩，重获自由。 千夜在她身边坐下，问：“在想什么？” “这里和我小时候住的地方很相似。 那时候父亲城堡旁边就有一个这样的山谷，我小时候总喜欢跑到那里玩。 后来长大些了，许多战技训练也都是在那个山谷进行的。” 夜瞳说得很平静。 千夜伸手将她揽进怀里，柔声说：“过去的都已经过去了，接下来该是新的生活。 不久的将来，我一定会让那个所谓的圣子付出代价！” 夜瞳点了点头，不过看她的表情，并不如何相信。 千夜也不再多说，这种事情，等战力到了的时候去做就好，现在说再多狠话也没有实际意义。 夜瞳把头靠在千夜怀里，闭上了眼睛，说：“你说，我能够在你们的帝国生活下去吗？” “好，那我试试。 可是……你天天看着我，会不会烦？” 千夜微笑道。 夜瞳不再说话，山谷河畔再度寂静。 许久许久，千夜轻轻拍拍夜瞳，说：“该走了，有个朋友在等着我们呢！ 那是我最好的兄弟，今后我不在的时候，有什么事你可以找他。” 夜瞳微微一笑，说：“以后跟了你，我还能有什么事呢？” 两人出了山谷，千夜驾车开了半日，来到黑流城外的一座小镇。
[V6C68 – Sorrow of a Silent Parting] The door was pushed open at this time, and in came Noxus. Eyes narrowed, he stared at the silhouette of Medanzo’s tall back and sneered, “This war is going badly, to say the least. I really must see how you’re planning to explain this to the council.” Medanzo snorted and replied coldly, “Why would I need to explain anything to a group of trash? Don’t forget that you also have half the commanding authority here.” Noxus let out a sinister laugh. “But you hold the highest commanding authority in name. After all, one simply cannot sully the honor of the Queen of the Night. This battle result will probably make Her Majesty Lilith rather... unhappy, don’t you think? If I were you, I might head over and pit myself against that Zhang Boqian and see just how capable that newly promoted heavenly monarch is.” Medanzo’s expression was gloomy, but he refused to comment. How could he not see the instigation in Noxus’ words? But there was hardly any way for him to retort. He really might’ve fought it out with Zhang Boqian if it wasn’t for Noxus eyeing him. However, Medanzo knew that if he were to become gravely injured at this point, Noxus wouldn’t mind sending him into a long hibernation in the blood pond. In the eyes of these experts who had lived for millennia, the so-called bigger picture wasn’t a balance in power or a contest of heroism. To these dark monarchs, the biggest aim was to stay alive and deal a fatal blow to the other at the slightest opportunity. Medanzo and Noxus had clashed countless times since the beginning of the battle at Giant’s Repose, but neither could do anything to the other. Meanwhile in the imperial camp, Zhang Boqian, who was resting on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes. “Those little fellows have done pretty well!” He got up to dress and disappeared outside of the quiet room. The courtyard of the main tent was different from when Song Zining had visited back then. The dense leaves of the eucalyptus seemed to have grown even more luxuriant within a short ten days, its numerous aerial root standing out oddly in the dry climate of Evernight Continent. From afar, it looked like a hanging curtain was hiding the tents from view until only the hatchways were visible on the domed roofs. However, after stepping through it, one would find a completely different scene. The hundred-meter open space was actually filled with a pool of rippling blue water and lingering curls of milky-white steam. This area was clearly warmer and more humid than the outside, forming an inexplicable scene of elegance. Apparently, this was a large origin array. There was a small pavilion at the center big enough for only a table and four lamps. Lin Xitang was sitting on one side of it and pondering deeply with a chess piece in his hand, his hair—a mixture of grey and silver—hanging loose behind him. Across him was a kind-looking man in his fifties with a square face, big ears, and a chubby build. From the outside, this person looked more like a merchant from the continent than a soldier. Gu Tuohai was two years Lin Xitang’s senior, but the traces of age on his facial features were much deeper. Zhang Boqian appeared in the pavilion with a flicker. He shot a glance at the chessboard before picking up a black piece from Gu Tuohai’s chess box and slamming it into a large, white-dominant area of the board. The placement of this piece would produce a fierce melee clash no matter how Lin Xitang were to respond. The latter let out a long sigh and returned his white piece to the box. “This again… You were never my match yet you always have to disrupt the game... not to mention never by the rules, either. So what if you get an extra turn? You’ll still lose in the end.” Zhang Boqian replied indifferently, “An extra turn might not turn the tables, but it’ll eventually come after snatching two or three. Your strategies are admittedly quite excellent, but not everyone will play by your rules. Now you’ve grown so bold that you’re getting involved with Lilith. Are you looking to die?” Zhang Boqian was talking to Lin Xitang, but Gu Tuohai was the one feeling most awkward at this moment. He said with a cough, “Prince Greensun, I have naturally attempted to dissuade this matter, but how can Xitang be willing to listen to me?” Zhang Boqian shot a glance at Gu Tuohai. “Doctor Gu, the reason His Majesty had you move the entire Reed Formation over here is to heal his injuries, correct? Not to kill him. Patients should recuperate quietly and not get involved in other things. You’re a doctor. Must I remind you about such common knowledge?” Zhang Boqian said coldly, “You’re not the only one who knows divination in this empire. Since it’s related to the national fate, you should let those bastards sharing your authority come to the front lines. Don’t tell me you want to take all the credit on your own?” Lin Xitang could only laugh wryly at Zhang Boqian’s sarcastic words. He then diverted the topic and said, “You must have something to say when you came over.” Zhang Boqian’s expression relaxed a bit at the mention of proper business. “Those young fellows have done pretty well this time.” Lin Xitang stood up with a smile and said, “That’s great news! How many moldable talents did you find?” “Bai Aotu has paved a straight path to the divine champion level, it’ll only be a matter of time afterward. Zhao Jundu indeed lives up to his name. My nephew, Munian, is a bit inferior to those two, but still managed not to sully the family name.” Zhang Boqian listed the names of a few more from other aristocratic families, then said, “Additionally, Li Kuanglan also gave me a delightful surprise.” Lin Xitang’s expression was somewhat complicated. “That person is definitely not bad. How about Song Zining? He’s fought several fierce battles under your banner.” Zhang Boqian said indifferently, “He’s smart but too scheming, always looking to make use of others to succeed. Just like you, he’ll encounter great obstructions along the path to the top.” “You’re wrong about this. Song Zining and I are completely different.” Lin Xitang shook his head. “Boqian, sooner or later, you’ll suffer for underestimating the power of divination.” Zhang Boqian sneered. “It’ll be a small loss at most. My retaliation at that time will be that person’s demise.” Their debates regarding this matter had never yielded any results. Lin Xitang spoke no more about this and only said, “This matter will be much easier since the young ones have performed beyond expectation, so the opportunity to mobilize is right before us. I’ll make the necessary preparations first. Then, I’ll have to trouble Brother Tuohai to send me back to the imperial capital.” “Not a problem.” Gu Tuohai couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing how half of Lin Xitang’s silver hair had lost their luster. The latter didn’t mind, however, and simply returned to his room after exchanging farewells. Gu Tuohai was also about to leave, but his body was suddenly frozen, bound by a powerful, formless force. Zhang Boqian’s eyes were on the blue water and curling mist as he asked flatly, “Any changes at the imperial capital that I should know of?” Gu Tuohai’s expression shifted slightly, and he couldn’t help but look in the direction where Lin Xitang had left. He knew not how Zhang Boqian had figured out that Lin Xitang was hiding some things from him. Gu Tuohai hesitated for a moment, then said, “Three of Lin Xitang’s body doubles have died at the capital.” Zhang Boqian was unexpectedly calm. “Does His Majesty not care?” Gu Tuohai laughed wryly. “No one can dissuade Xitang on something he’s decided. When has His Majesty ever managed to outtalk him?” Zhang Boqian snorted coldly. “What is the actual situation with his injury? Is there really no way to recover from the darkness origin flames of the flaming crown?” “The darkness origin flame can chill one to the bone when it acts up, but in truth, its existence has always been canceling out a part of the backlash from the reverse divination.” “Reverse?!” Zhang Boqian seemed to have understood Gu Tuohai’s unspoken implication. “Is there any other method to remedy it?” Gu Tuohai hesitated for a long while before whispering, “That there is, but all of them are forbidden techniques.” Zhang Boqian stood silently with his arms behind him. “The so-called forbidden is a rule laid down by humans. If others can create rules, so can I!” Gu Tuohai said after a moment of silence, “Prince Greensun, please consider it carefully.” Zhang Boqian, with a wave of his hand, released Gu Tuohai from his bindings. The pale man immediately turned to leave but turned back after taking a couple of steps. “Xitang won’t be willing.” Zhang Boqian’s tone caused one to tremble. “He might not have a choice in this matter.” Qianye was driving rapidly through the wildness and toward Blackflow City. The journey was fairly peaceful, and oftentimes, there wasn’t a single person around. The occasional hunters and dark race stragglers would avoid him after seeing the imperial regular army insignia on his car. The empire and Evernight Council were confronting one another at this moment. Experts were as abundant as the clouds and champions as numerous as the rain. No one—no matter how greedy or ruthless—would dare to make a move against the regular armies of the two factions. As such, Qianye arrived at the rendezvous point after several days. It was a desolate valley surrounded by complex geography and several tunnels weaving in and out, all of which made for an extremely suitable hiding place. Qianye parked the jeep at the entrance and walked into the valley on foot. At the center of the valley was a small stream which snaked dozens of kilometers before merging into a larger river. Nighteye was sitting on its bank and fishing with some makeshift equipment. However, her thoughts clearly weren’t on the line. She didn’t move at all despite large fish biting several times, allowing the creatures to escape the hook and swim toward freedom. Qianye sat down beside her. “What are you thinking about?” “This place is very similar to where I lived when I was young. There was a similar valley near my father’s castle where I loved to play. After I grew up, most of my combat training was also done in that valley,” Nighteye spoke calmly. Qianye reached out and pulled Nighteye into his arms. “Past is past, we should be thinking about living a new life. In the near future, we’ll definitely make that so-called Holy Son pay a steep price!” Nighteye nodded, but her expression betrayed her skepticism. Qianye didn’t continue either because such things were better executed once one was strong enough. There was no practical meaning in spouting fierce words. Nighteye leaned her head in Qianye’s arms and closed her eyes. “Say, do you think I can live in the empire?” “You definitely can.” “Okay, I’ll try. But… will you get tired after seeing me every day?” “Impossible,” Qianye said with a smile. Nighteye spoke no more, and the valley regained its silence. After a long while, Qianye patted Nighteye lightly and said, “Time to go, I have a friend waiting for us! That’s my good brother, you can look for him if you’re in trouble and I’m not around.” Nighteye said with a smile, “I’ll follow you from now on. What trouble can there be?” The two walked out of the valley and, after half a day’s drive, arrived at a small town outside of Blackflow City. Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The mobilization speed of Yue Imperial clan went far beyond the imagination of Ye Xiwen. At this time, this was a display of the true strength of this legendary bureaucracy which was driving hundreds of thousands into actions at the same time.\nEarly in the morning, one after another, several teams finally began to reveal their fangs. They were advancing towards the respective city gates of the Imperial city in order to march out of the city. Hundreds of thousands of experts were marching together which suddenly shocked the whole city, however, the citizens were not at all afraid. Due to the abrupt surfacing of Bai Mojiao, there had been turmoil for several months and everyone was aware of that. Although Bai Mojiao had not dared to be dissolute in the Imperial capital, but they truly did some serious damage to the Great Yue State.\nYe Xiwen was flying at a very high altitude in the sky and watching how the combative armies were marching out of the Imperial gates. He was now fully aware of the fact that Great Yue State contained astonishing strength, which was finally unveiled in front of his eyes.\nThe fearful power of several legions was finally unleashed and fully emerged. The murderous aura swept off throughout the sky and the clouds seemed to have been minced. One simply didn’t stand a chance when facing such an army, unless he was a legendary level expert.\nSoon, Ye Xiwen’s wait for his own team was over when he saw the special regiment of Imperial armed forces marching forward with the Great Tiger’s flag fluttering on the forefront. The imperial soldiers were mostly the experts of Xiantian realm, and the higher rank commanders were experts of Xiantian sixth stage or above.\nThe particularity of Great Yue’s royal clan was that they didn’t have too many top players unlike other major sects, but they housed far too many experts of Xiantian realm, and the sheer number far surpassed any of the major sects.\nYesterday, the ninth prince was clad in a royal dragon robe, but today, he was wearing a military uniform, which was giving him a heroic aura. As usual, the old man in black clothes was following him and sticking close behind him. The old man’s cultivation was only faintly discernible and his skill seemed very profound.\nA huge fleet of battleships appeared on the ground, stationed about 10 Li outside the Imperial city wall. The imperial soldiers marched towards these battleships and boarded them.\nDozens of warships soon took off together. These battleships were actually the divine tools, their might was simply infinite and were completely different from the warships used by the Great Yue State during national campaigns and ordinary expeditions.\nYe Xiwen also flew down and landed on a warship which was being led by the high-spirited ninth prince.\n“Brother Ye, this is the beginning of our great cause!” The ninth prince said in a somewhat complacent manner.\nYe Xiwen did not speak, however, a faint smile appeared on his face.\nOne after another, battleships turned into dazzling streamers of light and flew far towards the horizon. In just half-day’s time, these battleships reached the East China Sea and descended on the seawater. However, even in the sea, these battleships were scary fast and charging around violently. There literally was nothing to stop these ships, and, the demon beasts that mistakenly came in their path were crushed miserably and simply turned into small bits of flesh and blood splatter. (NT: These warships are necessary because most of the imperial soldiers are in Xiantian realm and cannot fly as fast as the truth level experts. So, a fast mode of travel is required to reach the target area ASAP)\nSoon, they arrived in the waters around Heishui’s lair.\n“Begin extermination and clean up each and every living thing in this and the nearby areas. I want it completely cleaned up, don’t forget to wipe out all the demon beasts here, not even a shrimp must be left alive. I want this place to turn into Heishui’s graveyard!” The ninth prince roared while he was brimming with killing intention.\n“As you command my lord!”\nThe might of thousands of imperial soldiers manifested rapidly. The demon beasts of Heishui’s lair couldn’t possibly be the match of an organized and trained army, not to forget the imperial army consisted of Xiantian level soldiers and several truth level commanders.\nSuddenly, the whole sea turned bloody and chaotic. One could hear the pitiful roars and screams of demon beasts, transmitting straight from the sea.\nAfter having swept clean the demon beasts on the sea level, the imperial corps proceeded to gradually dive into the sea. The soldiers were equipped with proper under-water equipments to enable breathing inside the sea, so that slaughtering demon beasts in the depths of the sea would be no problem at all. (NT: Only truth level experts are able to breathe under the water. For Xiantian level experts or below, these scuba equipments are necessary so that they don’t drown.)\nYe Xiwen sighed with emotion and thought that the royal clan was filthy rich and to the extent that the other sects simply didn’t stand a chance in front of its wealth.\n“Who dares to massacre my subjects!”A loud roar rang out from the depths of seabed and about 10,000 feet long deepwater black snake king instantly jumped out of the seabed with its mouth open, which suddenly sucked in dozens of imperial soldiers who were swallowed whole in one breath and were eaten raw.\nAt this moment, the deepwater black snake king’s great roar terribly shook everyone’s eardrums. This one roar was equivalent to the sound produced by 1000 big drums.\nOne swing from his huge and powerful tail shook the entire sea, but Ye Xiwen clearly saw a massive wound on his tail which once again cracked open, along with splashes of blood spreading in the seawater, when he swung his tail.\n“Heishui, how dare you collaborate with those devils, today, in the name of Imperial decree, I must exterminate you and all these evildoers.” The ninth prince stepped forward and shouted to clear the way, “Today, this Heishui’s Lair will be destroyed, and, it will be completely removed from the East China Sea!”\n“Kill!” The soldiers of Imperial guard armed forces roared and the murderous aura of the deadliest of soldiers immediately upset the sea water. It was really an incomparably fearful sight.\nAt this time, there a hint of regret on the face of deepwater black snake king. He had been thoroughly misled by Lu Hongwei so the regret was much self-explanatory in this situation.\n“Evildoer, today is the day you die!” At this time, the old man in black clothes instantly flew up and a terrifying aura spread out in all directions. Despite having a skinny body, his presence was just like that of a mountain. The qi exploded out of his body and spread out in the surrounding radius of several thousand miles.\nHalf-step legendary master!\nYe Xiwen gawked for a moment because he never expected that the skinny old man, who always followed around the ninth prince and never left his side, would turn out to be a half-step legendary expert. He finally understood the hidden meaning behind the ninth prince’s words when he said that the royal clan would deal with the beast, so the ninth prince was secretly talking about the black-clothed old man.\nBy quietly roping in a half-step legendary expert into his faction, it could be seen that the ninth prince was really aiming for the throne. He had secretly done no small preparation for this.\n“Who are you!” The deepwater black snake roared fiercely when he saw a half-step legendary expert standing in his way. If he was not injured then dealing with a half-step legendary expert would have been no trouble for him, but right now, he was in a dire situation and he could sense that he was facing a terrifying expert.\n“I am the one who is going to end your life.” The black-clothed old man indifferently said.\n“You should know that the devil invasion is close, do you want to go against the heaven’s will?” The deepwater black snake exclaimed.\n“A lowly beast like you dares to teach me!” The black-clothed old man disdainfully said.\nThe old man’s palm gradually turned blood-red and the surrounding water instantly evaporated.\nYe Xiwen could not help but gasped, this technique was extremely frightening. This old man was clearly much stronger than an expert of half-step legendary level.\n“Die!” The old man moved up instantly and it appeared like his physique suddenly turned into a water sword and rushed straight towards the deepwater black snake king. A gigantic hand congealed out of nowhere and grabbed the beast into its grasp. And right then, it appeared as if an endless scarlet hell evolved instantaneously and crashed right into the body of the deepwater black snake king.\n“Great blood handprint!” “Soaring Dragon!” The deepwater black snake king roared and its giant body instantly churned up the endless seawater, sweeping off a section of seawater which eventually took the form of a water-dragon and rushed towards the incoming ‘great blood handprint’ attack.\nThe roars of a dragon were constantly reverberating across the seabed.\n“Boom!” The two sides did not stay idle and immediately started a decisive battle of life and death.\nWith each collision between their blows, it seemed as if the world would collapse any second. Even the warships couldn’t stand firm in the face of those terrifying shock waves. The entire sea was being destroyed!\n“Bang!” The blood splashed into the seawater, the flesh and blood flew in all directions. A large but fresh wound could be seen on the body of the deepwater black snake king.\nThe deepwater black snake king suddenly screamed pitifully, while at the same time, he spat out a water sword from his mouth which turned into an ice-cold treasured sword and instantly rushed straight towards the old man.\nIt was quite surprising to see that the old man stimulated Zhen Qi inside his body, which burst out of his body and congealed into a bloody big hand. This scarlet big hand instantly caught the water sword and crushed it, and right after that, the big hand rushed towards the deepwater black snake king.\nEveryone was shocked while watching this scene. They were quietly watching this battle as everyone knew that this end result of this battle was ultimately going to decide the life and death of the two sides. Their own fights were basically insignificant in this situation.\nThere came a terrifying burst of sound and the old man’s big bloody hand directly pierced through the tail of the deepwater black snake king and ripped it off the very next instant.\nYe Xiwen was quite surprised because this black-clothed old man was way too powerful than an average half-step legendary expert. Just like in the case of Qi Feifan, other half-step legendary experts weren’t the match for this old man as well.\nIf the deepwater black snake king was not seriously injured, he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.\nThe deepwater black snake king was screaming again and again and trying to get away, but a bloody big hand was constantly in his pursuit.\n“Boom!” Accompanied by a terrifying sound of an explosion, that bloody big hand grabbed the deepwater black snake king. Since the old man already knew that the deepwater black snake king was injured, he couldn’t possibly let go of this chance of slaughtering this formidable beast.\n“I don’t want to die!” The deepwater black snake roared, but its skull was directly grasped in the big bloody hand and instantly crushed, splashing the brain fluid and blood into the seawater." } ]
第二百一十章 皇室的动作很快，没有所谓的拖拖拉拉，整个巨大的国家机器开始动了起来，在面对这种可能会颠覆整个国家统治的事情，大越国皇室的动员速度远远超过叶希文的想象，传说中的官僚在这个时候，谁也不敢怠慢，光为了这些怠慢的事情，就有超过三百颗人头落地。 一大清早，一队一队以往从来都不在人前露面的军团终于露出了自己的獠牙，纷纷从帝都的各个城门中跑步出城，数以十万的高手一起奔跑顿时震动了全城，民众却一点害怕的心思都没有，拜魔教的动乱到现在都有好几个月了，虽然拜魔教还不敢在帝都放肆，但是确实给大越国带来了沉重的伤害。 叶希文站在高空之上，看着一支一支杀气腾腾的大军从帝都各个城门出击，大越国皇室蕴含的惊人实力，在这个时候终于揭开了神秘的面纱。 一支比一支可怕的军团犹如是猛虎出笼，杀气席卷而起，天上的云气都被绞碎，除非已经是传奇境界的高手，否则在面对这种悍不畏死的大军的时候，都会心悸吧。 很快，叶希文就等到了自己的队伍，大越国特别军团中的虎贲军，一杆巨大的老虎旗帜飘扬在队伍的最前面，虎贲军中的士兵，最次的士兵都是先天级别的高手，军官更是普遍的先天六重以上的武者。 大越国皇室的特殊性造成了他虽然顶尖高手会吧宗门差一些，但是这些底下的高手，却远远比其他宗门要多。 昨天还是一身华服的九皇子，今天一身戎装，显得英气非凡，在他的身后，那玄衣老者不离左右，气息若隐若现，功力极为高深。 除了帝都十里，虎贲军立刻祭出了法器，一艘艘庞大的战舰出现在了地面上，原本跑步前进的虎贲军的士卒纷纷乘上战舰。 这几十艘战舰很快起飞起来，这些战舰都是法器，威力无穷，是大越国征战用的征战法器和一般个人用的是完全不一样的。 叶希文也落到了为首的一艘战舰之上，甲板上，九皇子意气风发。 “叶道兄，这就是我们大业的开始！” 九皇子颇为有些志得意满。 叶希文没有说话，只是淡淡的笑笑。 一艘艘的战舰化作一道道的流光从天空中横扫飞掠而过，不过半天的功夫，这些战舰就落到了东海之上，即便在海面上，这些战将的速度依然快的吓人，横冲直撞，根本就没有任何的顾忌，许多想捡便宜的妖兽被生生撞成血肉碎片。 很快就到了黑水领的水域。 “清剿开始，这里附近所有的妖兽全部清剿干净，一条虾米都不许剩下，我要让这黑水领成为死海！” 九皇子杀气十足的吼道。 “诺！” 上万虎贲军的威力迅速体现出来，整个黑水领的妖兽怎么可能是这种有组织的军团的对手，更何况还是一只由先天高手和真道高手混杂形成的军团。 一时间整个海面一阵血雨腥风，血水逆流成河，染红了整片海面，妖兽的吼叫惨叫声在回荡。 扫清了海面上的妖兽之后，虎贲军团慢慢清扫进了海水之中，虎贲军团的士卒每个人都有水中呼吸的装备，让他们可以清扫进海水也一点问题都没有。 叶希文也不得不感慨，皇室到底是财大气粗，是其他的宗门没办法比拟的。 一声怒吼从海底深处传了出来，一条上千丈长的深水玄蛇王从其中瞬间蹿出，血盆大口张开，猛然一吸，几十个虎贲军的士兵就被一口气吞了进去，生生吞吃掉。 在这一刻这条深水玄蛇王的气盖环宇，一声巨吼就震得所有人耳膜疯狂的震动，犹如一千面大鼓在耳中狂敲一般。 巨大有力的尾巴挥动的时候，整个海水都在震动，不过叶希文分明看到那条巨大的尾巴上一条横贯上百丈长的伤口，随着摆动，又再一次的崩裂开来，鲜血飞溅出来。 显然是上次和血灵子的战斗受的伤还没有好。 “你黑水领竟然敢勾结那些魔孽，今天我奉我皇圣旨，要将你们这些妖孽统统剿灭！” 九皇子上前喝道，“今天你们黑水领必须死，从此从东海除名！” 虎贲军的士卒一声大吼，这些杀人如麻的虎贲军的士兵的杀气搅乱了海水，可怕无比。 这时候深水玄蛇王的脸上竟然露出了一丝懊悔的表情，很显然是在后悔当初怎么就听了吕宏威的蛊惑，结果最后被打的大败亏输。 “妖孽，今天你的死期到了！” 这时候九皇子身后的那个玄衣老者瞬间飞出，一股恐怖的气息四散开来，身躯枯瘦，但是看着却犹如是山岳一般，气吞万里。 半步传奇高手！ 叶希文一愣，没想到那个跟在九皇子身边寸步不离的玄衣老者，居然会是半步传奇的高手，那么这么说起来的话，那么昨天九皇子说的那个皇室供奉，应该就是这个玄衣老者了。 不声不响的就拉拢了一个半步传奇的高手，九皇子果然是对皇位觊觎已久了，不声不响的已经做了不小的准备了。 “你是什么人！” 深水玄蛇王大叫，看到对方居然也是一个半步传奇境界的高手，顿时有些打起了退堂鼓，他身上的伤还没好，对付半步传奇以下的高手来说还好，但是现在是要面对一个可怕的高手，心中更没有把握。 “来取你性命的人！” 那玄衣老者淡淡的说道。 “你应该知道，魔族的入侵近在咫尺，难道你想逆天么？” “就你这畜生也配和老夫谈什么天道！” 那玄衣老者的手掌开始渐渐变的血红了起来，周围的海水都在瞬间被蒸发。 叶希文不由得倒吸一口冷气，这一招可怕之极，这玄衣老者显然也是半步传奇境界中的极强者。 “喝！” 那玄衣老者瞬间动了起来，身形犹如一道水剑，朝着深水玄蛇王而去，一只苍天大手朝着深水玄蛇王抓去，无边的血色地狱被演化了出来，生生朝着深水玄蛇王轰去。 “龙腾！” 深水玄蛇王怒吼一声，上千丈的身躯瞬间翻腾了起来，无尽的海水席卷成一条条的海龙朝着那只巨大的血手印攻了过去。 一声声巨龙的咆哮声回荡在海底之中。 双方都没有留手，一上来就是旷世一击，展开了生死决战。 这一击，仿佛天地都要被大崩溃了，恐怖的气流推开海浪一层一层，连战舰都不能稳住身形，整个海水犹如天崩地裂了一般。 海水被生生打碎了！ “嘭！” 鲜血飞溅，骨肉横飞，那条深水玄蛇王的血肉瞬间被生生抓下了好大一块。 深水玄蛇王顿时惨叫着，一口水剑喷射了出来，变成冰冷的宝剑，瞬间朝着那个玄衣老者斩去。 却见那个玄衣老者催动浑身的真元，一只血手探出，瞬间抓爆了那只水剑，紧接着再一次朝着深水玄蛇王抓去。 所有人都惊呆了，都在默默的看着这一幕，所有人都知道，真正决定胜负的，就是这双方之间的战斗，他们这些人不过是无足轻重罢了。 一声可怕的爆棚声，这个玄衣老者一把生生洞穿了深水玄蛇王的尾巴，生生将它上百丈长的尾巴打断了尾骨。 叶希文暗中心境，这个玄衣老者太过强大，半步传奇的高手不是不强，只是之前的齐非凡太过强大，两尊半步传奇的高手面前都不是对手。 这条深水玄蛇王之前在和血灵子的战斗的时候，就已经是身受重伤了，不然也不会表现如此不堪。 深水玄蛇王疼的直抽抽，嘶吼连连，带着无上的威严，但是一只血色的大手生生盖了下来。 “轰！” 一声恐怖的爆鸣声，那只血色的大手生生将深水玄蛇王给抓死，趁他病要他命的道理玄衣老者自然知道，既然它受了伤，就更不能放过。 “我不甘心！” 深水玄蛇王怒吼着，但是脑壳都被血手给抓开，脑浆都被抓烂，扑腾了两下，最终还是断了气。
Chapter 210 – Destruction of Heishui’s Lair The royal clan moved very quickly, there wasn’t the so-called hauling or procrastination, the entire huge state apparatus began to move up, and in the face of such a thing, it seemed as if it was advancing to subvert the rule of this country. The mobilization speed of Yue Imperial clan went far beyond the imagination of Ye Xiwen. At this time, this was a display of the true strength of this legendary bureaucracy which was driving hundreds of thousands into actions at the same time. Early in the morning, one after another, several teams finally began to reveal their fangs. They were advancing towards the respective city gates of the Imperial city in order to march out of the city. Hundreds of thousands of experts were marching together which suddenly shocked the whole city, however, the citizens were not at all afraid. Due to the abrupt surfacing of Bai Mojiao, there had been turmoil for several months and everyone was aware of that. Although Bai Mojiao had not dared to be dissolute in the Imperial capital, but they truly did some serious damage to the Great Yue State. Ye Xiwen was flying at a very high altitude in the sky and watching how the combative armies were marching out of the Imperial gates. He was now fully aware of the fact that Great Yue State contained astonishing strength, which was finally unveiled in front of his eyes. The fearful power of several legions was finally unleashed and fully emerged. The murderous aura swept off throughout the sky and the clouds seemed to have been minced. One simply didn’t stand a chance when facing such an army, unless he was a legendary level expert. Soon, Ye Xiwen’s wait for his own team was over when he saw the special regiment of Imperial armed forces marching forward with the Great Tiger’s flag fluttering on the forefront. The imperial soldiers were mostly the experts of Xiantian realm, and the higher rank commanders were experts of Xiantian sixth stage or above. The particularity of Great Yue’s royal clan was that they didn’t have too many top players unlike other major sects, but they housed far too many experts of Xiantian realm, and the sheer number far surpassed any of the major sects. Yesterday, the ninth prince was clad in a royal dragon robe, but today, he was wearing a military uniform, which was giving him a heroic aura. As usual, the old man in black clothes was following him and sticking close behind him. The old man’s cultivation was only faintly discernible and his skill seemed very profound. A huge fleet of battleships appeared on the ground, stationed about 10 Li outside the Imperial city wall. The imperial soldiers marched towards these battleships and boarded them. Dozens of warships soon took off together. These battleships were actually the divine tools, their might was simply infinite and were completely different from the warships used by the Great Yue State during national campaigns and ordinary expeditions. Ye Xiwen also flew down and landed on a warship which was being led by the high-spirited ninth prince. “Brother Ye, this is the beginning of our great cause!” The ninth prince said in a somewhat complacent manner. Ye Xiwen did not speak, however, a faint smile appeared on his face. One after another, battleships turned into dazzling streamers of light and flew far towards the horizon. In just half-day’s time, these battleships reached the East China Sea and descended on the seawater. However, even in the sea, these battleships were scary fast and charging around violently. There literally was nothing to stop these ships, and, the demon beasts that mistakenly came in their path were crushed miserably and simply turned into small bits of flesh and blood splatter. (NT: These warships are necessary because most of the imperial soldiers are in Xiantian realm and cannot fly as fast as the truth level experts. So, a fast mode of travel is required to reach the target area ASAP) Soon, they arrived in the waters around Heishui’s lair. “Begin extermination and clean up each and every living thing in this and the nearby areas. I want it completely cleaned up, don’t forget to wipe out all the demon beasts here, not even a shrimp must be left alive. I want this place to turn into Heishui’s graveyard!” The ninth prince roared while he was brimming with killing intention. “As you command my lord!” The might of thousands of imperial soldiers manifested rapidly. The demon beasts of Heishui’s lair couldn’t possibly be the match of an organized and trained army, not to forget the imperial army consisted of Xiantian level soldiers and several truth level commanders. Suddenly, the whole sea turned bloody and chaotic. One could hear the pitiful roars and screams of demon beasts, transmitting straight from the sea. After having swept clean the demon beasts on the sea level, the imperial corps proceeded to gradually dive into the sea. The soldiers were equipped with proper under-water equipments to enable breathing inside the sea, so that slaughtering demon beasts in the depths of the sea would be no problem at all. (NT: Only truth level experts are able to breathe under the water. For Xiantian level experts or below, these scuba equipments are necessary so that they don’t drown.) Ye Xiwen sighed with emotion and thought that the royal clan was filthy rich and to the extent that the other sects simply didn’t stand a chance in front of its wealth. “Who dares to massacre my subjects!”A loud roar rang out from the depths of seabed and about 10,000 feet long deepwater black snake king instantly jumped out of the seabed with its mouth open, which suddenly sucked in dozens of imperial soldiers who were swallowed whole in one breath and were eaten raw. At this moment, the deepwater black snake king’s great roar terribly shook everyone’s eardrums. This one roar was equivalent to the sound produced by 1000 big drums. One swing from his huge and powerful tail shook the entire sea, but Ye Xiwen clearly saw a massive wound on his tail which once again cracked open, along with splashes of blood spreading in the seawater, when he swung his tail. “Heishui, how dare you collaborate with those devils, today, in the name of Imperial decree, I must exterminate you and all these evildoers.” The ninth prince stepped forward and shouted to clear the way, “Today, this Heishui’s Lair will be destroyed, and, it will be completely removed from the East China Sea!” “Kill!” The soldiers of Imperial guard armed forces roared and the murderous aura of the deadliest of soldiers immediately upset the sea water. It was really an incomparably fearful sight. At this time, there a hint of regret on the face of deepwater black snake king. He had been thoroughly misled by Lu Hongwei so the regret was much self-explanatory in this situation. “Evildoer, today is the day you die!” At this time, the old man in black clothes instantly flew up and a terrifying aura spread out in all directions. Despite having a skinny body, his presence was just like that of a mountain. The qi exploded out of his body and spread out in the surrounding radius of several thousand miles. Half-step legendary master! Ye Xiwen gawked for a moment because he never expected that the skinny old man, who always followed around the ninth prince and never left his side, would turn out to be a half-step legendary expert. He finally understood the hidden meaning behind the ninth prince’s words when he said that the royal clan would deal with the beast, so the ninth prince was secretly talking about the black-clothed old man. By quietly roping in a half-step legendary expert into his faction, it could be seen that the ninth prince was really aiming for the throne. He had secretly done no small preparation for this. “Who are you!” The deepwater black snake roared fiercely when he saw a half-step legendary expert standing in his way. If he was not injured then dealing with a half-step legendary expert would have been no trouble for him, but right now, he was in a dire situation and he could sense that he was facing a terrifying expert. “I am the one who is going to end your life.” The black-clothed old man indifferently said. “You should know that the devil invasion is close, do you want to go against the heaven’s will?” The deepwater black snake exclaimed. “A lowly beast like you dares to teach me!” The black-clothed old man disdainfully said. The old man’s palm gradually turned blood-red and the surrounding water instantly evaporated. Ye Xiwen could not help but gasped, this technique was extremely frightening. This old man was clearly much stronger than an expert of half-step legendary level. “Die!” The old man moved up instantly and it appeared like his physique suddenly turned into a water sword and rushed straight towards the deepwater black snake king. A gigantic hand congealed out of nowhere and grabbed the beast into its grasp. And right then, it appeared as if an endless scarlet hell evolved instantaneously and crashed right into the body of the deepwater black snake king. “Great blood handprint!” “Soaring Dragon!” The deepwater black snake king roared and its giant body instantly churned up the endless seawater, sweeping off a section of seawater which eventually took the form of a water-dragon and rushed towards the incoming ‘great blood handprint’ attack. The roars of a dragon were constantly reverberating across the seabed. “Boom!” The two sides did not stay idle and immediately started a decisive battle of life and death. With each collision between their blows, it seemed as if the world would collapse any second. Even the warships couldn’t stand firm in the face of those terrifying shock waves. The entire sea was being destroyed! “Bang!” The blood splashed into the seawater, the flesh and blood flew in all directions. A large but fresh wound could be seen on the body of the deepwater black snake king. The deepwater black snake king suddenly screamed pitifully, while at the same time, he spat out a water sword from his mouth which turned into an ice-cold treasured sword and instantly rushed straight towards the old man. It was quite surprising to see that the old man stimulated Zhen Qi inside his body, which burst out of his body and congealed into a bloody big hand. This scarlet big hand instantly caught the water sword and crushed it, and right after that, the big hand rushed towards the deepwater black snake king. Everyone was shocked while watching this scene. They were quietly watching this battle as everyone knew that this end result of this battle was ultimately going to decide the life and death of the two sides. Their own fights were basically insignificant in this situation. There came a terrifying burst of sound and the old man’s big bloody hand directly pierced through the tail of the deepwater black snake king and ripped it off the very next instant. Ye Xiwen was quite surprised because this black-clothed old man was way too powerful than an average half-step legendary expert. Just like in the case of Qi Feifan, other half-step legendary experts weren’t the match for this old man as well. If the deepwater black snake king was not seriously injured, he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state. The deepwater black snake king was screaming again and again and trying to get away, but a bloody big hand was constantly in his pursuit. “Boom!” Accompanied by a terrifying sound of an explosion, that bloody big hand grabbed the deepwater black snake king. Since the old man already knew that the deepwater black snake king was injured, he couldn’t possibly let go of this chance of slaughtering this formidable beast. “I don’t want to die!” The deepwater black snake roared, but its skull was directly grasped in the big bloody hand and instantly crushed, splashing the brain fluid and blood into the seawater.

The terrifying part about the knife wasn’t only because of the power it had to be able to sever Earth Count’s horn, but there was also another ability in which the divine knife could swallow primordial spirits.\nEven Tian Shu, the knife bearer, could also have his primordial spirit swallowed when he was careless and got trapped inside for seven to eight million years.\nThe instant Son of Heaven Yin suffered from the attack, he could feel the world spinning, and his primordial spirit fell into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.\n‘I’ve been tricked!’\nHowever, he was also decisive, and the instant he came back to his senses, he mobilized the power of Mingdu to bombard the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. Mingdu devil qi instantly surged forth and rushed furiously into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.\n“Infinite Reincarnation!”\nSon of Heaven Yin’s primordial spirit immediately executed his divine art the moment he fell into the world inside the knife and a sea of the underworld overflowing into the sky appeared. In the middle of the sea was a Mingdu Heavenly Gate and Son of Heaven Yin flew into the gate. He passed through that gate. Before he passed through the gate, he was still a cultured scholar, but after he flew out of the gate, his appearance had completely changed. He became a delicately pretty woman.\nIn front of him, another heavenly gate appeared, and Son of Heaven Yin who had transformed into a woman passed through the gate.\nThe speed at which his primordial spirit cast spells was extremely fast. His body moved like flickering light and passing shadows as he passed through gate after gate. He was so fast that the naked eye couldn’t capture him.\nPassing through Mingdu Heavenly Gate every time was like going through a reincarnation, and the primordial spirit would undergo a huge change. No matter if it was the face, gender, or race, they were completely different from before as though he was another person.\nThat kind of infinite reincarnation allowed him to reincarnate thousands of times, and the speed was extremely fast. It was so fast that even the formations in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife couldn’t change fast enough.\nThe Imperial Gate Divine Knife possessed a flaw that wasn’t small. It was because there was such a flaw in Sakra Buddha’s technique, which resulted in a slight imperfection in forging the divine knife.\nQin Mu found the method to leave Imperial Gate Divine Knife from Sakra Scripture and the method that Son of Heaven Yin used was to use extremely fast reincarnations to keep changing his identity.\nEvery time he changed an identity, the Imperial Gate Divine Knife has to adjust the formation structure in the knife once. The formation runes that Founding Emperor had designed for the Imperial Gate Divine Knife weren’t unchanging. Since it was a formation skill, it had to keep changing in order to suit the person that entered the formation skills and trap them.\nSon of Heaven Yin used Infinite Reincarnations to changed his identity and race, which resulted in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife changing its formation continuously as well. When the speed of the reincarnations finally surpassed the speed of the formation changing, it allowed Son of Heaven Yin to find the flaw that Qin Mu had calculated for a year in a very short period of time.\nSon of Heaven Yin’s eyes lit up. When his primordial spirit flew out of the gate, his primordial spirit has already broken free of the knife. He regained his freedom.\nWhen his primordial spirit flew out from the door, he returned to his original appearance. However, his corporeal body had already been split into two halves by Tian Shu!\n“A strong practitioner on Emperor’s Throne is merely so!”\nTian Shu laughed loud and swung his divine knife to sever the neck of Son of Heaven Yin. “Your abilities also don’t seem to be higher than me who is on Luminous Sky Realm!”\nThe left and right parts of Son of Heaven Yin’s body separated, and each of them walked into a gate. When they walked over from the gates, they became two Son of Heaven Yin.\nThe two Son of Heaven Yin said in unison, “Tian Shu, you are a heavenly king after all, how can you still be so childish? Do you think you can kill me just because you are holding Founding Emperor’s knife?”\nHe separated into two, and the two Son of Heaven Yin were actually both his original form, and they were equivalent to Son of Heaven Yin at his peak. Tian Shu was no match for them.\nWith two Son of Heaven Yin attacking him, Tian Shu couldn’t defend against them even though he had remarkable abilities. He could only defend with the power of the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.\nSounds of waves came from the darkness as a boundless sea of the underworld appeared. Under Tian Shu’s feet was the boundless black sea, and it was a sea formed by the black soul sand.\nThe moving black stone sand was truly a sight to behold.\nThe black soul sand in Mingdu was actually no less than Heavenly Yin World and formed a vast sea. He didn’t know what the origin of the black soul sand was.\nTian Shu’s heart trembled violently. In the past, he had fought with Son of Heaven Yin, but the location wasn’t in Mingdu. They encountered each other in the outside world and fought. Because Son of Heaven Yin was overconfident in his own capacity, he didn’t use a fatal move straightaway which was why he was able to escape.\nAt that moment he was in Mingdu and above the sea of the underworld; furthermore, he had injured Son of Heaven Yin and infuriated him, so he didn’t have the confidence to retreat from Son of Heaven Yin.\nRight at that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and the entire Mingdu shook. A world in darkness had collided together with Mingdu that was in the darkness!\nA cape flapped around in the darkness, and the cape of King Yama covered the entire Fengdu. His gaze was awe-inspiring, and countless gods of Fengdu were standing on the city walls under the cape. They were overflowing with murderous auras.\nThe two worlds were both fragments of Earth Count’s horns, and they had finally collided together at that moment.\nKing Yama’s hand that was pressing down on his sword suddenly let go and the sword light filled the sea of the underworld. He mobilized the power of Fengdu and wielded his sword to come over. The horizontal and vertical sword lights were so straight that it was as though they had gone through strict measurement, while the arc drawn by his sword light was a perfect curve.\nPeople who cultivated the sword would rarely have such a strict requirement for themselves. They sought more transformation for their sword skills, but King Yama was strict. He put in a lot of hard work in his basic sword skills and any sword skill in his hands was prim and proper. He gave off the bearing of a great master, and no flaw could be found at all.\nHe brought Fengdu to fight into Mingdu, and it was so sudden that it caused huge chaos. The sea formed by black soul sand turned into great waves from the collision, and it made Son of Heaven Yin unable to mobilize the power of the sea.\nTian Shu and King Yama’s knife and sword caught Son of Heaven Yin. Soon, he was injured by both of their attacks.\nHe was astonished and furious. The situation didn’t look to be a coincidence, and instead, it looked like it was planned long ago.\nFrom his three disciples descending disaster and Saint Woodcutter and First Ancestor getting tricked, to Qin Mu suddenly transforming into Son of Youdu and Lou Yunqu having no choice but to open Mingdu Heavenly Gate—it was as if everyone had fallen into someone’s plan.\nThe goal of the person wasn’t to stop a disaster from happening, and it also wasn’t to break Lou Yunqu and the rest. His actual goal was him from the start!\nSmall targets like Lou Yunqu were not even in their sights. Instead, they had their sight on an Emperor’s Throne like him, so who was the daring person?\nSimilarly, the person must have held a high position in the past. Only by standing high enough could he see far enough and place his target on someone like him.\nIf it was other people like Qin Mu and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, their target would at most be Lou Yunqu to stop the calamity from happening.\nThe person that had made the plan was different from the others. He was definitely someone with a high position in Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, only then would he dare to put his sights on him! Whoever the person was, he was on the verge of being disclosed!\nSon of Heaven Yin was infuriated. “I’m being schemed against when I’m not scheming. This person could probably only be the woodcutter who is the head of the four great heavenly teachers in the fake dynasty! That’s right. If I were him, I would definitely give no chances if I was scheming against an expert like me. I definitely wouldn’t just mobilize King Yama and Tian Shu. If I wanted to fight, I would gather all of the experts that have a grudge with me. The one that hates me the most is Goddess of Heavenly Yin…”\nThe space in Mingdu suddenly split open, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s figure appeared in the other world. She smiled as she looked at Son of Heaven Yin.\nGoddess of Heavenly Yin held onto an hourglass, and it was none other than the Celestial Dipper that Son of Heaven Yin had made. She cast her spell, and the sea of the underworld suddenly churned as it hung over their heads. With the sea above and the people below, it crashed down on everyone!\nSon of Heaven Yin was naturally not afraid of it, but the gods of Mingdu couldn’t defend against it!\nSon of Heaven Yin’s expression turned black. Celestial Dipper was a treasure he had made to control the black soul sand and starved ghosts in Heavenly Yin World, never would he expect the treasure to be used against him!\n“Son of Heaven Yin, is this revenge sweet?”\nGoddess of Heavenly Yin’s laughter rang out, and the sea of the underworld crashed down, squashing countless gods under the sea. The impact from the black soul sand shattered numerous primordial spirits of gods!\nThe skeletons had varying abilities, and some devil gods were strong, so they didn’t die from the impact. However, their primordial spirits suffered heavy injuries.\nGoddess of Heavenly Yin revealed a smile and flipped the Celestial Dipper once again. The sea rose into the sky and crashed down once more.\nIt was like she was playing with a small toy as she flipped the Celestial Dipper over and over again. The sea crashed down over and over, smashing countless skeletal devil gods into smithereens. Their primordial spirits shattered into sand!\nSon of Heaven Yin was truly angered. He had never been so angry before. His life had always been smooth-sailing since he was young and never before had he suffered such humiliation and such a huge loss!\nTian Shu and King Yama worked together and attacked him furiously. His mind was in a mess, and so more and more wounds appeared on his body. Right at that moment, a gate rose up from the sea and stood on the surface of the sea.\nMingdu Heavenly Gate.\nThe gate wasn’t a divine art; it was the true Mingdu Heavenly Gate.\nThere were many people among the Mingdu’s disciples that had cultivated the divine art of Mingdu Heavenly Gate. However, their divine art were all transformed from that gate.\nMeanwhile, the gate had come from Youdu’s Gate of Heaven Influence. In some paths, skills, and marvels, Gate of Heaven Influence was inferior to Mingdu Heavenly Gate. For example, the power of reincarnation that that gate had was something that Gate of Heaven Influence could never reach.\nThus, the door was also ranked into the four great heavenly gates. It was referred to as Northern Heavenly Gate.\n“Heavenly Yin, do you think I will be scared of the few of you?”\nSon of Heaven Yin smiled from anger. Suppressing the sea with Mingdu Heavenly Gate, the waves instantly calmed down, and even when Goddess of Heavenly Yin executed the Celestial Dipper, she couldn’t move the sea at all. “It’s time for you guys to witness the power of an Emperor’s Throne!”\nIn Qin word land, Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at the outside world through Qin Mu’s third eye by taking turns. From Tian Shu’s arrival to Fengdu’s collision where King Yama attacked Son of Heaven Yin with his sword and to Goddess of Heavenly Yin suppressing tens of thousands of devils gods with the Celestial Dipper, the sights made Crimson Emperor and Heaven Duke’s expression change quickly, and they clapped their hands in amazement.\n“Could Qin Mu have already contacted Woodcutter and the rest to act out out a show?”\nCrimson Emperor said with a smile, “Isn’t this timing too much of a coincidence? Tian Shu who’s as fierce as a tiger after drinking, King Yama of Fengdu, and also Goddess of Heavenly Yin who revived not long ago. Stringing all of these powers together, this is clearly a long prepared set-up! With Qin Mu, this Son of Youdu as a bait, Son of Heaven Yin was bound to be hooked!”\nHeaven Duke said with a smile, “It was definitely prepared long ago, this battle is truly refreshing! Qin Mu even acted so real that I couldn’t even see a single flaw.”\nCrimson Emperor said with a smile, “I also couldn’t see any flaw. I still thought the devil nature was controlling him just now and purposely wanted to start a massacre by swallowing the primordial spirits of the skeletal devil gods. Who would have thought he could use his third eye to disrupt Son of Heaven Yin’s primordial spirit and allow Tian Shu to succeed in his surprise attack. He must have been part of the surprise attack! When he acted as if the devil nature controlled him, that was truly scary.”\nHeaven Duke let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “Since he can control the Youdu devil nature, I’m at ease. What is he doing now?”\nThe two of them looked through Qin Mu’s third eye, and they could roughly see the back of a head.\nHeaven Duke and Crimson Emperor were slightly puzzled.

阴天子直接中招，帝阙神刀几乎将他整个人切成两半，这口神刀的可怕之处不仅仅在于能够斩断土伯之角的威能，另一个可怕的地方在于神刀吞噬元神。 即便是田蜀这个操刀手，也会在一不留神的情况下被吞掉元神，受困于刀内空间长达七八百万年之久。 阴天子在中招的一瞬间，便感觉到天旋地转，元神不由自主的向帝阙神刀中落去。 “中计了！” 他却也果断决绝，醒悟的一瞬间直接调动冥都的力量冲击帝阙神刀，冥都魔气顿时蜂拥而来，疯狂涌入帝阙神刀中。 “无量轮回！” 阴天子落入刀内世界的元神立刻施展神通，但见滔天冥海浮现出来，海中涌出一座冥都天门，阴天子飞速向门户投去，他从门户中穿出，飞入这座门户之前他还是个儒雅书生，从门户中飞出之后他却模样大变，变成了一位娇滴滴的女子。 前方又是一座天门浮现，化作女子的阴天子再度从门中穿出。 他的元神施法速度极快，身形浮光掠影，从一座座冥都天门中穿过，快得肉眼无法捕捉。 他每一次穿过冥都天门便像是经历了一次轮回，元神大改，无论是面目还是性别抑或是种族，与从前竟然完全不同，像是完全换了一个人一般。 这种无量轮回神通在一瞬间便让他穿过几千次轮回，速度极快，快到帝阙神刀的刀内阵法也来不及变化的程度。 帝阙神刀存在着一个不小的漏洞，正是因为帝释天王佛的功法出现的漏洞，导致神刀锻造有那么一丝的不完美。 秦牧是从帝释天王经中寻出离开帝阙神刀的办法，而阴天子用的办法，则是以极快的轮回速度不断变幻自己的身份。 他每变一次身份，帝阙神刀便需要调整一次刀内世界的阵法结构，开皇设计帝阙神刀的阵法符文，其阵法结构并非是不变的，既然是阵法，那就需要一直不断变化，以适应进入阵法中的人，将对方困住。 阴天子以无量轮回神通变幻自己的身份种族，导致帝阙神刀也不断变化阵法，终于超出了这口神刀的阵法运算速度，以至于那个让秦牧计算了近一年时间才能寻到的漏洞，被他在短短时间内便寻找了出来。 阴天子眼睛一亮，元神从最后一座门户飞出时，他的元神便已然从刀中脱困而出，恢复自由身。 他的元神从这座门户飞出，模样恢复成本来面目，只见他的肉身已经被田蜀一刀切成两半！ “帝座强者，不过如此！” 田蜀哈哈大笑，挥起神刀向阴天子的两半身躯的脖子削去：“实力也不见得比我这个凌霄更高！” 阴天子的两半身躯一左一右分开，各自走入一座门户中，待从门户中走出，竟然变成了两个阴天子！ “凌霄和帝座的差距，大到你无法想象。” 两个阴天子异口同声道：“田蜀，你好歹也是天王，怎么如此幼稚？ 你以为你拿着开皇的刀便能杀我不成？” 他一分为二，两个阴天子竟然都像是本体，都像是全盛时期的阴天子，甫一交手，田蜀便立刻不敌。 两个阴天子围攻，田蜀尽管神通广大，但也无力抗衡，只能凭借帝阙神刀的威力抵挡。 黑暗中传来滔滔的海浪声，一片广阔无垠的冥海浮现，田蜀脚下是无边无际的黑色海洋，那是灵魂黑沙形成的海洋！ 灵魂黑沙涌动，这一幕极为壮阔。 冥都的灵魂黑沙之多竟然不比天阴界少多少，形成浩瀚的冥海，不知这些灵魂黑沙有什么来历。 田蜀心神大震，他从前与阴天子有过一次相争，但地点并非是在冥都，而是在外界遭遇，两人斗了一场，阴天子因为自恃身份没有一上来便痛下杀手，他这才能够逃脱。 而现在是身处冥都，冥海之上，阴天子又因为被他所伤，动了真怒，他没有把握能够在阴天子手中全身而退。 就在此时，突然惊天动地的一声巨响，整个冥都震动，一个黑暗中的世界与同样处在黑暗中的冥都轰然碰撞！ 猎猎披风展动，飘扬，阎王的披风笼罩整个酆都，目光森然，无数酆都神魔站在披风下的城墙上，杀气腾腾。 与冥都碰撞的，正是酆都！ 两个世界同样是土伯之角的碎片，此刻终于撞在一起！ 阎王按剑的手突然放开，剑光充斥冥海，他调动酆都的力量持剑而来，剑光一横一竖笔直得像是经过严苛的测量一般，而他的剑光画出的弧线必然是遵循完美的弧度。 炼剑的人很少会如此严苛的要求自己，剑法更加追求多变，而阎王却是这样的人，他在剑术的基本功上狠下苦工，任何剑法在他手中施展出来都是板板正正，透露出宗师气度，寻不出半点毛病。 他带着酆都杀入冥都，突如其来，造成极大的混乱，由灵魂黑沙组成的冥海被压得波澜不惊，让阴天子无法调动冥海的力量。 田蜀与阎王一刀一剑，阴天子被打个措手不及，很快在两人的围攻下受伤。 他又惊又怒，这幅场面根本不像是凑巧，反而像是早有预谋。 从他的三个弟子降劫，到樵夫、初祖中计，从秦牧突然杀出化作幽都神子，到楼云曲迫不得已打开冥都天门，这一切似乎早已落入某人的算计之中。 这个人的目标不是为了阻止降劫，不是为了打垮楼云曲三人，其真实目标就是自己！ 看不上楼云曲这样的小目标，反而把目光放在他这样的帝座级存在身上，这人何止是胆大包天？ 同样，此人必然曾经身居高位，只有站得足够高才能看得足够远，才能把目标放在他这样的存在身上。 倘若换做秦牧、延康国师这样地位的人，他们目标最多是楼云曲，最多是阻止灾劫灾变的发生。 而定下这个计策的人不同，他必然是开皇天庭中的地位极高的人物，才敢把目标放在他的身上！ 此人是谁，呼之欲出！ 阴天子心中惊怒：“我被人以有心算无心了，这个人，恐怕只有伪朝的四大天师之首的砍柴人了！ 是了，倘若我是他，我要算计我这样的高手，肯定要做到万无一失，我绝不会只调动阎王和田蜀这二人，我若要打的话，便需要纠集与我有仇的所有高手。 冥都的空间突然裂开，天阴娘娘的身影出现在另一个世界中，微笑着向阴天子看来。 天阴娘娘手持一个漏洞，正是阴天子所炼制的天斗，隔界作法，冥海突然间翻腾起来，整个灵魂黑沙形成的大海倒挂，海在上，人在下，轰然向他们所有人压下！ 阴天子自然是不惧，然而冥都的神魔却难以抵挡！ 阴天子面色铁青，天斗是他炼制的宝物，用来控制天阴界的灵魂黑沙和殍鬼，没想到事到头来反倒被人用这件宝物来对付他自己！ “阴天子，这是否是报应不爽？” 天阴娘娘的笑声传来，冥海轰然压下，无数冥都神魔被压在海底，灵魂黑沙冲击，数不清的魔神被冲刷得元神破碎！ 这些骸骨魔神的实力有高有低，有些魔神实力强大，并未死在这一波冲击之下，但元神也受到重创。 天阴娘娘露出笑容，天斗再度颠倒，冥海又一次腾空，又一次轰然砸落！ 她像是在抛着一个小小的玩具，将天斗颠来倒去，冥海一次又一次浮在空中轰然落下，数不清的冥都骸骨魔神被硬生生拍成齑粉，元神破碎成沙！ 阴天子动了真怒，他从未像现在这样动怒，从他年幼时他便顺风顺水，从未吃过这么多的亏，这么大的亏！ 田蜀和阎王联手，疯狂向他攻去，他心神一乱，身上的伤势更多，就在此时，冥海中一座门户冉冉升起，耸立在海面上。 冥都天门。 这座门户不是神通，而是真正的冥都天门。 冥都弟子又很多人修炼了冥都天门的神通，但他们的神通都是从这座门户中演化而来。 而这座门户则是脱胎自幽都的承天之门，在某些道法奥妙上，承天之门也不如冥都天门，比如说这座门户的轮回造化之力，便是承天之门所无法媲美的。 因此，这座门户也被列入四大天门之列，被称作北天门。 “天阴，你以为我怕你们不成？” 阴天子气极而笑，冥都天门镇压冥海，顿时波澜不惊，即便是天阴娘娘催动天斗也无法撼动冥海：“该是让你们见识一下帝座真正的实力了！” 秦字大陆中，天公和赤皇你一会儿我一会儿的通过秦牧的第三只眼去观察外面的世界，从田蜀出现提刀闯入冥都，到酆都撞击冥都，阎王仗剑围攻阴天子，再到天阴娘娘隔界以天斗镇压冥都数以万计的魔神，让天公和赤皇看得眉飞色舞，连连拍手叫好。 “难道说秦牧早已与樵夫他们联系好了，要演一出好戏？” 再加上秦牧这个幽都神子，这个鱼饵，保管阴天子上钩！” 天公笑道：“肯定是早有准备，这一战打得爽快！ 秦牧却也装得很像那么一回事儿，连我都看不出破绽。” 赤皇笑道：“我也看不出一丁点儿的破绽来。 适才我还以为他被魔性控制，故意要大开杀戒，吞噬骸骨魔神的元神呢。 谁曾想，他一下子便以第三只眼干扰阴天子的元神，让田蜀偷袭得手。 刚才他装作被魔性控制，真的很吓人。” 天公松了口气，笑道：“他能够控制幽都魔性，那么我也就放心了。 他现在在做什么？” 两人透过秦牧的第三只眼看去，模模糊糊看到一个后脑勺。 天公和赤皇都有些疑惑，突然醒悟过来：“这小子正在抱着灾神的脑袋啃！” 此时秦牧正趴在灾神的后背上，兴奋的张开大嘴，啃住灾神的脑袋，喉咙中发出呜呜的声音。 天公与赤皇对视一眼，异口同声道：“这小子真的入魔了，不是装的！” ————还是三千五百字章节，最近事情比较多，来不及检查错字，向兄弟们和姐妹们道歉，请担待一下。
Son of Heaven Yin received the blow head on, and the Imperial Gate Divine Knife nearly split him into half. The terrifying part about the knife wasn’t only because of the power it had to be able to sever Earth Count’s horn, but there was also another ability in which the divine knife could swallow primordial spirits. Even Tian Shu, the knife bearer, could also have his primordial spirit swallowed when he was careless and got trapped inside for seven to eight million years. The instant Son of Heaven Yin suffered from the attack, he could feel the world spinning, and his primordial spirit fell into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. ‘I’ve been tricked!’ However, he was also decisive, and the instant he came back to his senses, he mobilized the power of Mingdu to bombard the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. Mingdu devil qi instantly surged forth and rushed furiously into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. “Infinite Reincarnation!” Son of Heaven Yin’s primordial spirit immediately executed his divine art the moment he fell into the world inside the knife and a sea of the underworld overflowing into the sky appeared. In the middle of the sea was a Mingdu Heavenly Gate and Son of Heaven Yin flew into the gate. He passed through that gate. Before he passed through the gate, he was still a cultured scholar, but after he flew out of the gate, his appearance had completely changed. He became a delicately pretty woman. In front of him, another heavenly gate appeared, and Son of Heaven Yin who had transformed into a woman passed through the gate. The speed at which his primordial spirit cast spells was extremely fast. His body moved like flickering light and passing shadows as he passed through gate after gate. He was so fast that the naked eye couldn’t capture him. Passing through Mingdu Heavenly Gate every time was like going through a reincarnation, and the primordial spirit would undergo a huge change. No matter if it was the face, gender, or race, they were completely different from before as though he was another person. That kind of infinite reincarnation allowed him to reincarnate thousands of times, and the speed was extremely fast. It was so fast that even the formations in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife couldn’t change fast enough. The Imperial Gate Divine Knife possessed a flaw that wasn’t small. It was because there was such a flaw in Sakra Buddha’s technique, which resulted in a slight imperfection in forging the divine knife. Qin Mu found the method to leave Imperial Gate Divine Knife from Sakra Scripture and the method that Son of Heaven Yin used was to use extremely fast reincarnations to keep changing his identity. Every time he changed an identity, the Imperial Gate Divine Knife has to adjust the formation structure in the knife once. The formation runes that Founding Emperor had designed for the Imperial Gate Divine Knife weren’t unchanging. Since it was a formation skill, it had to keep changing in order to suit the person that entered the formation skills and trap them. Son of Heaven Yin used Infinite Reincarnations to changed his identity and race, which resulted in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife changing its formation continuously as well. When the speed of the reincarnations finally surpassed the speed of the formation changing, it allowed Son of Heaven Yin to find the flaw that Qin Mu had calculated for a year in a very short period of time. Son of Heaven Yin’s eyes lit up. When his primordial spirit flew out of the gate, his primordial spirit has already broken free of the knife. He regained his freedom. When his primordial spirit flew out from the door, he returned to his original appearance. However, his corporeal body had already been split into two halves by Tian Shu! “A strong practitioner on Emperor’s Throne is merely so!” Tian Shu laughed loud and swung his divine knife to sever the neck of Son of Heaven Yin. “Your abilities also don’t seem to be higher than me who is on Luminous Sky Realm!” The left and right parts of Son of Heaven Yin’s body separated, and each of them walked into a gate. When they walked over from the gates, they became two Son of Heaven Yin. The two Son of Heaven Yin said in unison, “Tian Shu, you are a heavenly king after all, how can you still be so childish? Do you think you can kill me just because you are holding Founding Emperor’s knife?” He separated into two, and the two Son of Heaven Yin were actually both his original form, and they were equivalent to Son of Heaven Yin at his peak. Tian Shu was no match for them. With two Son of Heaven Yin attacking him, Tian Shu couldn’t defend against them even though he had remarkable abilities. He could only defend with the power of the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. Sounds of waves came from the darkness as a boundless sea of the underworld appeared. Under Tian Shu’s feet was the boundless black sea, and it was a sea formed by the black soul sand. The moving black stone sand was truly a sight to behold. The black soul sand in Mingdu was actually no less than Heavenly Yin World and formed a vast sea. He didn’t know what the origin of the black soul sand was. Tian Shu’s heart trembled violently. In the past, he had fought with Son of Heaven Yin, but the location wasn’t in Mingdu. They encountered each other in the outside world and fought. Because Son of Heaven Yin was overconfident in his own capacity, he didn’t use a fatal move straightaway which was why he was able to escape. At that moment he was in Mingdu and above the sea of the underworld; furthermore, he had injured Son of Heaven Yin and infuriated him, so he didn’t have the confidence to retreat from Son of Heaven Yin. Right at that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and the entire Mingdu shook. A world in darkness had collided together with Mingdu that was in the darkness! A cape flapped around in the darkness, and the cape of King Yama covered the entire Fengdu. His gaze was awe-inspiring, and countless gods of Fengdu were standing on the city walls under the cape. They were overflowing with murderous auras. The two worlds were both fragments of Earth Count’s horns, and they had finally collided together at that moment. King Yama’s hand that was pressing down on his sword suddenly let go and the sword light filled the sea of the underworld. He mobilized the power of Fengdu and wielded his sword to come over. The horizontal and vertical sword lights were so straight that it was as though they had gone through strict measurement, while the arc drawn by his sword light was a perfect curve. People who cultivated the sword would rarely have such a strict requirement for themselves. They sought more transformation for their sword skills, but King Yama was strict. He put in a lot of hard work in his basic sword skills and any sword skill in his hands was prim and proper. He gave off the bearing of a great master, and no flaw could be found at all. He brought Fengdu to fight into Mingdu, and it was so sudden that it caused huge chaos. The sea formed by black soul sand turned into great waves from the collision, and it made Son of Heaven Yin unable to mobilize the power of the sea. Tian Shu and King Yama’s knife and sword caught Son of Heaven Yin. Soon, he was injured by both of their attacks. He was astonished and furious. The situation didn’t look to be a coincidence, and instead, it looked like it was planned long ago. From his three disciples descending disaster and Saint Woodcutter and First Ancestor getting tricked, to Qin Mu suddenly transforming into Son of Youdu and Lou Yunqu having no choice but to open Mingdu Heavenly Gate—it was as if everyone had fallen into someone’s plan. The goal of the person wasn’t to stop a disaster from happening, and it also wasn’t to break Lou Yunqu and the rest. His actual goal was him from the start! Small targets like Lou Yunqu were not even in their sights. Instead, they had their sight on an Emperor’s Throne like him, so who was the daring person? Similarly, the person must have held a high position in the past. Only by standing high enough could he see far enough and place his target on someone like him. If it was other people like Qin Mu and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, their target would at most be Lou Yunqu to stop the calamity from happening. The person that had made the plan was different from the others. He was definitely someone with a high position in Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, only then would he dare to put his sights on him! Whoever the person was, he was on the verge of being disclosed! Son of Heaven Yin was infuriated. “I’m being schemed against when I’m not scheming. This person could probably only be the woodcutter who is the head of the four great heavenly teachers in the fake dynasty! That’s right. If I were him, I would definitely give no chances if I was scheming against an expert like me. I definitely wouldn’t just mobilize King Yama and Tian Shu. If I wanted to fight, I would gather all of the experts that have a grudge with me. The one that hates me the most is Goddess of Heavenly Yin…” The space in Mingdu suddenly split open, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s figure appeared in the other world. She smiled as she looked at Son of Heaven Yin. Goddess of Heavenly Yin held onto an hourglass, and it was none other than the Celestial Dipper that Son of Heaven Yin had made. She cast her spell, and the sea of the underworld suddenly churned as it hung over their heads. With the sea above and the people below, it crashed down on everyone! Son of Heaven Yin was naturally not afraid of it, but the gods of Mingdu couldn’t defend against it! Son of Heaven Yin’s expression turned black. Celestial Dipper was a treasure he had made to control the black soul sand and starved ghosts in Heavenly Yin World, never would he expect the treasure to be used against him! “Son of Heaven Yin, is this revenge sweet?” Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s laughter rang out, and the sea of the underworld crashed down, squashing countless gods under the sea. The impact from the black soul sand shattered numerous primordial spirits of gods! The skeletons had varying abilities, and some devil gods were strong, so they didn’t die from the impact. However, their primordial spirits suffered heavy injuries. Goddess of Heavenly Yin revealed a smile and flipped the Celestial Dipper once again. The sea rose into the sky and crashed down once more. It was like she was playing with a small toy as she flipped the Celestial Dipper over and over again. The sea crashed down over and over, smashing countless skeletal devil gods into smithereens. Their primordial spirits shattered into sand! Son of Heaven Yin was truly angered. He had never been so angry before. His life had always been smooth-sailing since he was young and never before had he suffered such humiliation and such a huge loss! Tian Shu and King Yama worked together and attacked him furiously. His mind was in a mess, and so more and more wounds appeared on his body. Right at that moment, a gate rose up from the sea and stood on the surface of the sea. Mingdu Heavenly Gate. The gate wasn’t a divine art; it was the true Mingdu Heavenly Gate. There were many people among the Mingdu’s disciples that had cultivated the divine art of Mingdu Heavenly Gate. However, their divine art were all transformed from that gate. Meanwhile, the gate had come from Youdu’s Gate of Heaven Influence. In some paths, skills, and marvels, Gate of Heaven Influence was inferior to Mingdu Heavenly Gate. For example, the power of reincarnation that that gate had was something that Gate of Heaven Influence could never reach. Thus, the door was also ranked into the four great heavenly gates. It was referred to as Northern Heavenly Gate. “Heavenly Yin, do you think I will be scared of the few of you?” Son of Heaven Yin smiled from anger. Suppressing the sea with Mingdu Heavenly Gate, the waves instantly calmed down, and even when Goddess of Heavenly Yin executed the Celestial Dipper, she couldn’t move the sea at all. “It’s time for you guys to witness the power of an Emperor’s Throne!” In Qin word land, Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at the outside world through Qin Mu’s third eye by taking turns. From Tian Shu’s arrival to Fengdu’s collision where King Yama attacked Son of Heaven Yin with his sword and to Goddess of Heavenly Yin suppressing tens of thousands of devils gods with the Celestial Dipper, the sights made Crimson Emperor and Heaven Duke’s expression change quickly, and they clapped their hands in amazement. “Could Qin Mu have already contacted Woodcutter and the rest to act out out a show?” Crimson Emperor said with a smile, “Isn’t this timing too much of a coincidence? Tian Shu who’s as fierce as a tiger after drinking, King Yama of Fengdu, and also Goddess of Heavenly Yin who revived not long ago. Stringing all of these powers together, this is clearly a long prepared set-up! With Qin Mu, this Son of Youdu as a bait, Son of Heaven Yin was bound to be hooked!” Heaven Duke said with a smile, “It was definitely prepared long ago, this battle is truly refreshing! Qin Mu even acted so real that I couldn’t even see a single flaw.” Crimson Emperor said with a smile, “I also couldn’t see any flaw. I still thought the devil nature was controlling him just now and purposely wanted to start a massacre by swallowing the primordial spirits of the skeletal devil gods. Who would have thought he could use his third eye to disrupt Son of Heaven Yin’s primordial spirit and allow Tian Shu to succeed in his surprise attack. He must have been part of the surprise attack! When he acted as if the devil nature controlled him, that was truly scary.” Heaven Duke let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “Since he can control the Youdu devil nature, I’m at ease. What is he doing now?” The two of them looked through Qin Mu’s third eye, and they could roughly see the back of a head. Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor were slightly puzzled. They suddenly came to a realization. “This brat is gnawing on the head of the disaster god!” Right at that moment, Qin Mu laid on the back of disaster god and opened up his mouth in excitement. He gnawed on the head of the disaster, and his throat gave off growling sounds. The disaster god’s head was bloody from his bites. Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at each other and said in unison, “The devil has really possessed this brat, he’s not acting!”

He then nodded his head to show respect and continued to use his Soaring Sky Technique. Grey clouds started to condense beneath his feet.\nAt this moment, the disciple standing in the middle of the three disciples looked at the slanted bamboo pole stuck into the mud and some fish scales from the strange fish that were scattered beside the swamp. Immediately, his eyes shined and he moved his arms. One of his hands, with a golden fighting glove on, hit towards where Liu Ming was standing.\nA misty ball of golden light shot toward Liu Ming.\nLiu Ming was startled. Without hesitation he moved his legs and jumped off the grey cloud, successfully landing at a spot just a few feet away from his previous position.\nThe gray clouds produced by the Soaring Sky Technique vanished after a loud explosion, caused by coming into contact with the golden gas ball.\n“You three seniors, what do you mean by this?” Liu Ming stared at three seniors. His face showing unhappiness.\n“Ha Ha, Don’t be angry junior, I’m just here to ask whether you have already caught the Eagle Beak Fish.” The disciple in the middle, who looked pale and was in his twenties, said jokingly.\nThe two disciples beside him, who looked about the same age, turned their eyes toward the bamboo fish basket behind Liu Ming. Their eyes showed unrestrained greed.\n“What if I say yes? What if I say no?” Liu Ming appraised the three as he said this using a faint voice.\n“If you say ‘yes’, then everything will be easy. What a coincidence, the three of us were given the task to catch the Eagle Beak Fish alive. Now that we have arrived, are you going to let us go home empty-handed?” The disciple with fair skin replied as he yawed.\n“Oh, then what will the three of you do?” Liu Ming replied after he sighed in his heart.\nThis was his third time facing this kind of situation after he started accepting Contribution Point Missions alone.\nHowever, Liu Ming had met a lone Barbarian Ghost Sect Disciple both previous times and was able to beat them up. This time though, things were not going to be so easy with three disciples.\nIt was no wonder that many of the sect disciples worked in groups when they carried out these Contribution Point Missions.\nLiu Ming used his mental strength to look at his surrounding. He could approximately guess that the two disciples standing at the right and left of the middle disciple had Fa Li more or less at the same level as himself. However, for the one with fair skin standing in the middle, his Fa Li was a level above Liu Ming’s.\nThrough the four months of intensive training, Liu Ming was about to master the second stage of the Dark Bone Method. This meant that the disciple with the fair skin was at the Middle Spirit Apostle level.\n“Very easy, this Sect Mission will gives a total of ten Contribution Points with thirty Spirit Stones. You just need pay each of us twenty Spirit Stones, or just give us the Eagle Beak Fish and I will give you twenty Spirit Stones. How about it?”\n“Twenty spirit stones? Clearly the three of you are here to rob. Don’t you guys feel scared of the consequences of breaking the rules?” Liu Ming spoke with a face without expression.\n“If junior feels that we are here to rob, then just accept it. However, about the rules, you don’t have to worry about it so much. Although the rule itself says, ‘disciples within the sect are not allowed to fight against each other,’ in reality, every faction’s disciples are encouraged to follow the law of strong. The strong are allowed to bully the weak and as long as we do not to fight in front of the Martial Uncles or Enforcer Disciples, we will be fine. Ha ha, it seems like junior’s time in this sect hasn’t been that long. There are still plenty of things you don’t know. However, after today, you will learn a new lesson.” One of the disciples who had a big head said with a tone of sarcasm.\n“Enough nonsense, if junior doesn’t want to hand over the Eagle Beak Fish, then let’s fight. I’m scared that if we waste anymore time, someone is going to come interrupt us.” The disciple with fair skin said.\nWhen he finished his sentence, he punched out twice, causing two “hu hu” sounds. Immediately, two gold gas balls dashed toward Liu Ming.\nThe other two disciples started to mumble simultaneously. With a lift of their hands, a white threadlike-thing shot out from each of their hands.\nLiu Ming narrowed his eyes and instantly understood the background of the white thread.\nThis kind of technique, which could be used to capture an enemy alive, was a more commonly used technique among the disciples when they fought against each other.\nLiu Ming deeply inhaled and on his wrist, the Tiger Bite Bracelet flashed. Following that, Liu Ming’s legs grew wider and the green veins on his skin started bulging. He then changed into a green shadow and dashed away.\n“Pa Pa.” The two white threads changed into long webs that were a few feet long and fell on the spot where Liu Ming used to be. Two golden gas balls also roared through, but all the attacks caught nothing.\nOn the opposite side, the disciple with the fair skin showed some seriousness on his face.\nIn that instant, a great “peng” sound was heard.\nOne of the disciple who had just used his Spider Silk Technique, knelt down on the floor with his face flushed red.\nLiu Ming pulled out his hand — which was surrounded by dark wisp of gas — from the caved in stomach of the disciple and used a hand sword to knock on the neck of the disciple. Immediately, the disciple fainted on the ground.\n“ Lu junior… you brat, I will kill you!”\nThe disciple standing on the opposite side, who had a big head, shouted angrily when he saw his partner being beaten up by Liu Ming. He pulled out a black steel ruler and threw it toward Liu Ming with all his power.\nThe yellow light on the steel ruler blinked as a strong invisible power dashed toward Liu Ming.\nBut with a twist of the body, Liu Ming successfully evaded the strike of the strong invisible power.\nSeeing this, the disciple was also startled. Right when he thought about calling his Practitioner’s Weapon back, it was already too late.\nA fist with strands of dark gas struck the disciple’s stomach. Within seconds, the disciple knelt to the ground and was unable to move.\nBoth of these Barbarian Ghost Sect’s disciples were about twenty years old but they were still Middle Spirit Apostles. It was clear that their training talent wasn’t the highest.\nWhen both of the disciples saw that Liu Ming was still young, and knew that Liu Ming had just entered the sect, they looked down on him. This caused them to fall to the lightning quick strikes of Liu Ming when he used both Lighten Technique and a mortal secret technique to increase his speed.\n“You… you are a Body Cultivator?” When the fair skin disciple in front saw his companions getting beat up by Liu Ming within seconds, his face clearly showed that he was terrified and he lost his voice when he spoke.\n“Body Cultivator, perhaps.” When Liu Ming heard this, his heart moved. However, he slowly walked toward his opponent, without showing any expression on his face.\n“Hmph, it doesn’t matter even if you are a Body Cultivator, how strong can you be at your age?” The disciple with fair skin rolled his dark eyes and calmed himself. A golden ring on his hand suddenly turned blurry and transformed into a golden light shield in front of him. At the same time, the disciple used a one handed sign and started to chant.\nIn an instant, a strand of blue light shot out and a half foot long crystal icicle formed. After forming, it started rapidly spinning on the disciple’s hand.\nSeeing this, Liu Ming’s pupils slightly shrank. With some energy, he stomped down and changed into a green shadow, shooting up.\nWhen the disciple with fair skin saw Liu Ming’s movement, his face showed ruthlessness. With a flick of his wrist, the icicles shot out with a frozen light.\nWith the strength of the Icicle Technique and the unique freeze that accompanied it, if Liu Ming were to be hit by it, he would definitely become severely wounded; he might even die.\nBut Liu Ming, who was rushing forward with high speed, ignored the projectile and instead twisted his waist. Instantly, his body became like a snake, without bones — swaying vigorously.\nThe Icicle brushed past Liu Ming’s shoulder.\nAt this moment, the face of the fair skinned disciple turned crafty and he changed his hand sign immediately and spit out the word “explode” from his mouth.\n“Peng”, the icicle blinked and scattered into many pieces of blue ice. A freeze started to diffuse in the air.\nLiu Ming became startled and, without thinking too much, he vigorously flicked his wrist. A round light shield appeared and went to protect his shoulder.\nStill, Liu Ming’s action was too late.\nLiu Ming felt his shoulder freeze and become numb. His shoulder was now covered by a thin layer of icy frost which slowed his pouncing body.\nThe fair skinned disciple sneered. Next, he changed his incantation and spit out a thick white thread which turned into a dozen feet long web from his head. The web came rushing toward Liu Ming’s head.\nEven though it was the same “Spider Silk Technique,” in the hands of the fair skinned disciple, the power difference was huge compared to when it was used by the other two disciples.\nLiu Ming suddenly stopped and stood on the spot. He stared at the web as it was dropping down at him. He gave a fast mumble and swung both of his hands. Two fireballs, the size of a fist, instantly shot out.\nOne of the fireballs dashed at the web while the other flew toward the fair skinned disciple who was standing just a few feet away.\n“Peng.” Before the web fell, it had been burned to ashes. The disciple was terrified and immediately charged his Practitioner Weapon, which was in the form of a light shield with Fa Li.\nEven though it was just a normal fireball, with such a short distant, the disciple could not completely ensure that his Practitioner Weapon could block the fireball.\nWith a “hong,” sparks flew in front of the fair skinned disciple.\nAs for the light shield, after some vigorous shaking and some rattling noise, a couple of fine cracks appeared.\nWhen the disciple with fair skin saw this, the color drained from his face. He shook the golden fighting glove Practitioner Weapon on his hand, wanting to do something, but it was already too late.\nThe black rope was like a venomous snake that twined speedily around the disciple’s waist and tightened up. Dark gas started to seep out from the rope and after he felt a huge pain in his waist, the disciple was unable to move.\nLiu Ming then walked toward the disciple arrogantly. Without saying anything, he aimed the neck of the disciple and gave a knock to make the disciple faint instantly.\nLiu Ming let out a breath and used the Dark Bone Method to accumulate his Fa Li to his shoulder.\nAs a result, dark smoke appeared and under it, the thin layer of frost on Liu Ming shoulder melted. In an instant, there was nothing left." } ]
柳鸣见此，也眉头微微一皱，但只是点了一下头，就继续一催腾空术，身下一团灰云凝聚而出了。 这时，三名男弟子中间一人，目光在水潭边斜插的竹竿以及附近地面上怪鱼遗落的几块鱼鳞上一扫后，当即双目一亮，手臂一动，一只带着金色拳套手掌一下冲柳鸣所在虚空一击而出。 一团金濛濛气团当即冲柳鸣激射而来。 柳鸣一惊，不加思索的双足一动，立刻从灰云上一飞而下，稳稳的落在了数丈外地方。 而用腾空出术刚刚凝聚出的灰云，却在一声闷响后，被金色气团一击而散。 “三位师兄，这是什么意思！” 柳鸣盯着三名弟子，脸色一沉下来了。 “哈哈，这位师弟不用动怒。 我只想问一下，此地那条鹰嘴鱼是不是已经被师弟抓住了。” 中间男子是名二十来岁的白皙青年，闻言嘿嘿一声的说道。 旁边两名年纪差不多的青年，目光也望向了柳鸣身后的鱼篓，丝毫不加掩饰的露出一丝贪婪之色来。 “是又怎样，不是又怎样！” 柳鸣同样打量着三人，淡淡的说道。 “是的，就好说了。 凑巧的很，我兄弟三人也接取了活捉鹰嘴鱼的任务，如今人也已经赶到了这里，师弟总不能让我们三个白跑这一趟吧。” 白皙青年打了个哈欠的说道。 “哦，那三位打算怎样！” 柳鸣心中叹了一口气的问道。 这种被情形，自从他独立一人接取贡献点任务来，已经是第三次遭遇了。 只不过前两次都只是遭遇一名被其打的鼻青脸肿的蛮鬼宗弟子，而眼前却一下出现三个，这可稍微有些麻烦了。 怪不得那些宗门弟子接取贡献点任务时，大半都是成群结伙行动了。 他通过精神力扫视，能大概感应到左右两边两人的法力波动和自己差不多，而中间白皙青年的法力波动却明显比自己要高上一筹了。 而他经过这四个多月苦修，已经再次快要修成第二层冥骨决了，说明那白皙青年十有是一名灵徒中期弟子，可不想旁边两人那般好对付的。 “很简单，这宗门任务有贡献点十个，灵石三十。 师弟要么每人赔偿我们二十块灵石，要么干脆将这鹰嘴鱼交给我们，我来补偿师弟二十块灵石如何？” “二十块灵石？ 看来三位是打算硬抢了。 难道不怕触犯门规吗！” 哈哈，看来师弟才入门没多久，对此还没有太深的了解。 不过经过今日之事后应该就会有一个深刻教训了。” 另外一名脑袋略大些弟子，当即哈哈大笑，并用略带嘲讽的口气说道。 “好了，别废话了。 既然这位小师弟不愿意主动交出鹰嘴鱼，就快些动手吧。 迟了的话，有其他人过来就不好办了。” 话音刚落，他又“呼”“呼”两拳再次飞刀出，顿时又有两团金色光团奔柳鸣飞射而来。 另外两名男子也十分有默契的口中念念有词，一抬手，各有一蓬白丝激射而出。 柳鸣双目一眯，立刻知道了白丝来历。 这种可以生擒敌手的法术，可以说是蛮鬼宗弟子间互相争斗时最常用的法术之一。 他深吸了一口气，手腕上虎咬环蓦然一亮，接着两只小腿骤然一粗，肌肤表面青筋一跳后，整个人就化为一团绿影的一冲而出。 “啪”“啪”两声，两蓬白丝化为数尺大丝网分别落在其原先站立处，两团金色虚影也上方处呼啸而过，全落到了空处。 对面白皙青年当即脸色微微一变。 而就在这时，“砰”的一声巨响。 一名刚刚施展过蛛丝术的弟子，满脸通红的一下跪在了地上。 柳鸣则将一只被淡淡黑气包裹的拳头从其腹中一抽而出，又反手一掌的切在脖颈上，让就此躺在地上昏了过去。 他借助轻身术外加加速秘技，竟转眼间欺近了对方身前，给了对方狠狠两击。 “吕师弟……臭小子，我要杀了你！” 对面那名脑袋大些青年，一见同伴转眼间就被柳鸣放倒，不禁惊怒之极的大叫道，其一把抽出了腰间一把黑黝黝铁尺，并狠狠冲柳鸣虚空一击而来。 铁尺上黄光一闪，一股无形力量顿时冲柳鸣滚滚一压而下。 但柳鸣却身躯一扭，一下躲过了这股无形力量，并一个晃动的飞蹿到大头青年近前处了。 青年一惊，再想收回符器护身，却已经来不及了。 一只带着丝丝黑气的拳头狠狠在青年小腹一击后，让其两眼一翻的也直接趴在地上无法动弹分毫了。 这两名蛮鬼宗内门弟子都二十多岁，还停留在灵徒中期，可见修炼资质之差了。 二人又因见柳鸣年纪轻轻，知道是新入门的弟子，心中满是轻视之心，自然被轻身术和加速秘技同时加持的柳鸣，一番闪电般动作后一击而倒。 “你……你是体修？” 对面白皙青年见到两名同伴转眼间就被柳鸣空手击倒的一幕，脸上却露出了犹如见鬼般的神色，一下失声出口起来。 柳鸣听了心中一动，却面无表情的向对方缓缓走了过去。 “哼，就算你是体修，这般年纪又能修炼多久。” 白皙青年眼珠滴溜溜一转后，又立刻恢复了几分常态，但手中金色圈套却忽然一阵模糊，化为了一面金色光盾的档在了身前，同时其另一只手掐诀不已，口中念念有词起来。 顷刻间，一阵蓝光晃动，一枚半尺长的晶莹冰锥在其手上飞快开始形成。 柳鸣见此情形了，瞳孔微微一缩，足下却忽然一用力，就再次化为一团绿影的直冲而上。 白皙青年见此，脸上狠辣之色一现，手腕一动，冰锥就化为一道寒光的飞射而出。 以冰锥术的威能，外加其附带的奇寒，柳鸣真要被扎中就算不死恐怕也立刻重伤的无法动弹了。 但高速扑来的柳鸣，只是腰肢一扭，身躯仿佛无骨蛇般般的猛然一晃。 冰锥当即从其肩头旁一擦而过。 就在这时，白皙青年却面现一丝狡诈之二十，猛然手中法决一变，口中猛吐一个“爆”字。 “砰”一声，冰锥一闪之后，立刻化为一团蓝色碎冰的爆裂而开，一股奇寒之气荡漾而开。 柳鸣心中一惊，不及多想的手腕猛然一抖，一面光濛濛小圆盾浮现而出，并一闪的挡在了肩头处。 但此动作仍然有些晚了。 柳鸣只觉肩头一寒，再一麻后，当即被一层白霜覆盖了一小片，原扑出的身形不觉一下迟缓了下俩。 白皙青年面现一丝得意笑容，咒语一变后，单手一扬，又一下喷出一道粗大白线，并一模糊的在途中就化为了丈许大丝网，奔柳鸣迎头一罩而下。 同样的“蛛丝术”，在白皙青年和其他两名蛮鬼宗弟子手中施出，威能可是天壤之别了。 柳鸣脚步嘎然一止，停在了原处，盯着落下丝网，口中却飞快无声念动几下后，两手一扬，两颗拳头大火球瞬间弹射而出。 一颗奔丝网激射而出，另一颗却冲数丈远的白皙青年飞射而去。 “噗”的一声，丝网尚未落下，就在滚滚火焰中化为了灰烬。 另一边的青年却吓了一跳后，急忙将法力往符器所化光盾中狂注而入。 即使是一颗普通的火弹，但在如此近距离被击中的话，他也不敢保证自己符器能够百分之百档下的。 “轰”一声巨响，白皙青年身前火光四溅当，。 而色光盾一阵剧烈晃动和发出嘎嘣几声脆响后，立刻浮现出几道纤细裂痕。 白皙青年一见黑索，大惊失色，急忙一斗手上金色拳套符器想做些什么，却已经晚了。 黑色绳索仿佛毒蛇般的飞快一绕数圈，再猛然一勒后，当即让青年腰间一阵黑气缭绕后，一阵剧痛的再也无法做出任何动作来。 而鸣却大摇大摆的走了过来，二话不说的对准其脖颈后就是一掌，让其两眼一黑的也当场昏迷了过去。 柳鸣轻吐一口气后，才一运冥骨决，将体内法力往肩头处一聚而去。 结果在丝丝黑气卷动中，他肩头处的冰霜飞快化水消融，顷刻间就恢复如常起来。
When Liu Ming saw this, he slightly knit his brows. He then nodded his head to show respect and continued to use his Soaring Sky Technique. Grey clouds started to condense beneath his feet. At this moment, the disciple standing in the middle of the three disciples looked at the slanted bamboo pole stuck into the mud and some fish scales from the strange fish that were scattered beside the swamp. Immediately, his eyes shined and he moved his arms. One of his hands, with a golden fighting glove on, hit towards where Liu Ming was standing. A misty ball of golden light shot toward Liu Ming. Liu Ming was startled. Without hesitation he moved his legs and jumped off the grey cloud, successfully landing at a spot just a few feet away from his previous position. The gray clouds produced by the Soaring Sky Technique vanished after a loud explosion, caused by coming into contact with the golden gas ball. “You three seniors, what do you mean by this?” Liu Ming stared at three seniors. His face showing unhappiness. “Ha Ha, Don’t be angry junior, I’m just here to ask whether you have already caught the Eagle Beak Fish.” The disciple in the middle, who looked pale and was in his twenties, said jokingly.

What a coincidence, the three of us were given the task to catch the Eagle Beak Fish alive.

Liu Ming pulled out his hand — which was surrounded by dark wisp of gas — from the caved in stomach of the disciple and used a hand sword to knock on the neck of the disciple. Immediately, the disciple fainted on the ground. “ Lu junior… you brat, I will kill you!” The disciple standing on the opposite side, who had a big head, shouted angrily when he saw his partner being beaten up by Liu Ming. He pulled out a black steel ruler and threw it toward Liu Ming with all his power. The yellow light on the steel ruler blinked as a strong invisible power dashed toward Liu Ming. But with a twist of the body, Liu Ming successfully evaded the strike of the strong invisible power. Seeing this, the disciple was also startled. Right when he thought about calling his Practitioner’s Weapon back, it was already too late. A fist with strands of dark gas struck the disciple’s stomach. Within seconds, the disciple knelt to the ground and was unable to move. Both of these Barbarian Ghost Sect’s disciples were about twenty years old but they were still Middle Spirit Apostles. It was clear that their training talent wasn’t the highest. When both of the disciples saw that Liu Ming was still young, and knew that Liu Ming had just entered the sect, they looked down on him. This caused them to fall to the lightning quick strikes of Liu Ming when he used both Lighten Technique and a mortal secret technique to increase his speed. “You… you are a Body Cultivator?” When the fair skin disciple in front saw his companions getting beat up by Liu Ming within seconds, his face clearly showed that he was terrified and he lost his voice when he spoke. “Body Cultivator, perhaps.” When Liu Ming heard this, his heart moved. However, he slowly walked toward his opponent, without showing any expression on his face. “Hmph, it doesn’t matter even if you are a Body Cultivator, how strong can you be at your age?” The disciple with fair skin rolled his dark eyes and calmed himself. A golden ring on his hand suddenly turned blurry and transformed into a golden light shield in front of him. At the same time, the disciple used a one handed sign and started to chant. In an instant, a strand of blue light shot out and a half foot long crystal icicle formed. After forming, it started rapidly spinning on the disciple’s hand. Seeing this, Liu Ming’s pupils slightly shrank. With some energy, he stomped down and changed into a green shadow, shooting up. When the disciple with fair skin saw Liu Ming’s movement, his face showed ruthlessness. With a flick of his wrist, the icicles shot out with a frozen light. With the strength of the Icicle Technique and the unique freeze that accompanied it, if Liu Ming were to be hit by it, he would definitely become severely wounded; he might even die. But Liu Ming, who was rushing forward with high speed, ignored the projectile and instead twisted his waist. Instantly, his body became like a snake, without bones — swaying vigorously. The Icicle brushed past Liu Ming’s shoulder. At this moment, the face of the fair skinned disciple turned crafty and he changed his hand sign immediately and spit out the word “explode” from his mouth. “Peng”, the icicle blinked and scattered into many pieces of blue ice. A freeze started to diffuse in the air. Liu Ming became startled and, without thinking too much, he vigorously flicked his wrist. A round light shield appeared and went to protect his shoulder. Still, Liu Ming’s action was too late. Liu Ming felt his shoulder freeze and become numb. His shoulder was now covered by a thin layer of icy frost which slowed his pouncing body. The fair skinned disciple sneered. Next, he changed his incantation and spit out a thick white thread which turned into a dozen feet long web from his head. The web came rushing toward Liu Ming’s head. Even though it was the same “Spider Silk Technique,” in the hands of the fair skinned disciple, the power difference was huge compared to when it was used by the other two disciples. Liu Ming suddenly stopped and stood on the spot. He stared at the web as it was dropping down at him. He gave a fast mumble and swung both of his hands. Two fireballs, the size of a fist, instantly shot out. One of the fireballs dashed at the web while the other flew toward the fair skinned disciple who was standing just a few feet away. “Peng.” Before the web fell, it had been burned to ashes. The disciple was terrified and immediately charged his Practitioner Weapon, which was in the form of a light shield with Fa Li. Even though it was just a normal fireball, with such a short distant, the disciple could not completely ensure that his Practitioner Weapon could block the fireball. With a “hong,” sparks flew in front of the fair skinned disciple. As for the light shield, after some vigorous shaking and some rattling noise, a couple of fine cracks appeared. When the disciple with fair skin saw this, the color drained from his face. He shook the golden fighting glove Practitioner Weapon on his hand, wanting to do something, but it was already too late. The black rope was like a venomous snake that twined speedily around the disciple’s waist and tightened up. Dark gas started to seep out from the rope and after he felt a huge pain in his waist, the disciple was unable to move. Liu Ming then walked toward the disciple arrogantly. Without saying anything, he aimed the neck of the disciple and gave a knock to make the disciple faint instantly. Liu Ming let out a breath and used the Dark Bone Method to accumulate his Fa Li to his shoulder. As a result, dark smoke appeared and under it, the thin layer of frost on Liu Ming shoulder melted. In an instant, there was nothing left.

By his sides, his other members were also tied up andhuddled together on the mining vessel.\nA few mechanical weapons stared at them like tigers watching their prey, if they were to make any strangemovements, they would be attacked.\nWright secretly observed the mechanical weapons, the mechanical weapons had great differences compared to themechanical weapons from the Gold Continent that he knew of. In the East Region, the Gold Continent’s mechanicalweapons had meticulous style and were made with superior qualities, and were never as crude and sloppy like theones in front of him.\nThey truly looked to be made out of random materials put together, it was his first time seeing truly ugly mechanicalweapons.\n“Who are you guys?”\nWright could not help but ask.\nNo one bothered with him, as though the few mechanical weapons did not hear him at all. Their eyes were fixated onZhong Li Bai who had returned, they were afraid of making even the slightest movement that would attract BossZhong’s attention, that was truly seeking death.\nDisorganized and ill disciplined were characteristics of bandits, and for them to listen and be obedient was anextremely difficult task. But even the most evil person would have their demons, and meeting Zhong Li Bai, a personwho was even more cunning and emotionless than them, all of them were brought under control.\nAlthough Zhong Li Bai was a wild card, he was still someone from the traditional academies, and viewed discipline assomething basic. And after being mocked by Nie Qiu, Zhong Li Bai’s heart was filled with an evil flame, thus hisstrictness towards his army had reached a jaw dropping level.\nWright and the captain looked at each other, both overwhelmed by shock at the scene in front of them. Theypreviously thought that they had met with bandits from the Gold Continent, only to reali\nze that the bandits were farfrom normal, as how would bandits ever possibly be so strict and disciplined.\nZhong Li Bai controlled the Monster, rumbling forward as he made a round trip to inspect the area.\nWhat he controlled was [Monster King], personally created by Sai Lei, which used plenty of new alloys, and its capabilities and endurance far surpassed that of [Monster]. Its entire black body with its stout stature looked to be extremely dense and strong, and its fiery red eyes declared to the world that it was an extremely dangerous monster.\nHe licked his lips and controlled the [Monster King], taking large strides as he walked towards the vessel.\nHe looked down at the captives on the vessel: “I only need one guide, bury the rest.”\nWhoosh, all the faces of the captives on the boat changed, and they flew into an uproar.\nWright clenched his teeth and stood up.\n“Master, your army is so strong and powerful and so large, you will need more guides. In the White Field Continent, we are familiar with every mine cave, including every city. Master, allow our petty lives to work for you, in exchange for our lives.”\nWright spoke respectfully yet not losing his bearing, causing Zhong Li Bai to be somewhat surprised, and he sized upthe scrawny Wright again.\n~To be able to maintain his calm at such a time is not easy.~\nThe rest of the captives kept quiet, Wright’s words made them see a bit of hope to live.\n“That will depends on whether you guys are even worth it to let live.” Zhong Li Bai’s words was filled withunhappiness: “What is the closest city to here?”\nWright did not beat about the bush and said: “Master, That will be Arthur City.”\nZhong Li Bai licked his lips: “I need warships, brat, do you have any ideas to tell me?”\nWright’s mind worked quickly and almost without hesitation, he replied: “The Daylight City and Red Soil City. Youcan buy warships there, our mining vessels comes from either one of those two places.”\nZhong Li Bai scoffed: “We have no money.”\nWright’s heart trembled, he scolded in his hearts, ~They truly are lowly bandits~, but did not hesitate to speak:“Then we can only go to Daylight City, other than the few businesses that sells warships, the Daylight Army’swarships are also docked there.”\n“Very good, I like intelligent people, I hope that all of you are as intelligent as him.”\nZhong Li Bai’s tone of speech was indifferent, but the killing intent made all of them tremble.\nZhong Li Bai carried Wright and turned to leave.\nReturning back to the barracks, Zhong Li Bai was about to report to Tang Tian, when upon entering the conferenceroom, he was showered with curses.\n“This is your standard?”\n“It is truly a waste for the monsters to be in your hands, I have never met such low quality mechanical martial artistsin my life before!”\n“If I were you, I would find some tofu and strike myself in the head to die!”\n“What kind of assault is that? It is truly dog shit!”\nZhong Li Bai was struck by the curses and scolding, causing a rage to birth in his chest, and a trace of killing intentpervaded out uncontrollably, but when he saw who was the man scolding him, he immediately quivered, and had hishands behind his back as he listened on earnestly.\nScrew was truly enraged, and scolded for a full 10 minutes before stopping.\nZhong Li Bai maintained an extremely obedient front. When Screw had just come, he ignored him, but when herealized that Screw was the creator of [Monster], his attitude towards him turned a 180 degrees.\nWhen he heard from Tang Tian about what Screw had lived through, he received an immense shock. Ten thousandyears was enough to cause metal to degenerate, and mountains and rivers to disappear, yet it could not extinguishthe conviction of a shattered spirit.\nHe was a true warrior!!\nEveryone’s face towards Screw was one of respect, even Zhong Li Bai, an arrogant and unbridled man, had respecttowards Screw. What made him even more submissive towards Screw was that Screw instantly showed him, a manwho switched to a profession that he was not trained for, what was true professionalism in the fields of mechanicaltechniques.\nThe tactics that he made himself, were all evaluated by Screw and changed completely. The crux was that everychange had an extreme purpose.\nEven Nie Qiu would always run over and respectfully sit by the side and listen like a student.\nWhen Screw finished scolding, Zhong Li Bai then raised his head, and spoke out like a deflated balloon: “This assaultcould be said to be done quite alright to me.”\n“Quite alright?” Screw had a look of ridicule: “One assault, and three men were injured. Oh, the reason being theirown teammates trampled on them, you call that ‘Quite alright’?”\nNie Qiu chuckled.\nZhong Li Bai’s face flushed red, he was so ashamed that he so badly wanted to find a hole to hide himself in.\nEver since he came in, Wright was stunned. ~It was such a fearsome assault, but it was considered a failure to thesepeople?~ Seeing Zhong Li Bai’s ashamed expression, for some reason, Wright felt a cold intent jumping frombeneath his feet.\nNie Qiu glanced at Wright, then coughed: “Master has already moved out, he is heading to Red Soil City.”\nUpon thinking about that, Nie Qiu had a headache as well, the Master liked to jump ahead of the rest. Althoughthere were many bodyguards by his side, and with his own personal strength, but as the lord and king, he had noneed to take such a risk.\nNie Qiu who was innately cautious felt that with their current strength, they could completely settle everythingsafely.\n“Master has already gone to Red Soil City?” Zhong Li Bai’s eyes opened wide.\n“That’s right.” Nie Qiu replied: “Master clarified. The White Fields Continent has two places that has warships, one isDaylight City and the other is Red Soil City. Daylight City’s warships are mainly controlled by their local army.Master said that this problem will be handed over to you. Master is heading over to Red Soil City to see if he can buya few warships.”\n“Yes, people say that Master is experienced in this aspect.” Nie Qiu changed topic: “Daylight City is the White Fields Continent’s main city, and is also the most flourishing city in White Fields Continent. The Daylight Army that is garrisoned there is relatively strong, the crucial point being they are very cautious. I suggest waiting for Master to return, then we will change our plans accordingly.”\nZhong Li Bai knew that Nie Qiu was not speaking blindly.\nAs there were many mining groups spread across the wilderness, the mining groups became natural sentries. Aslong as there was any news, it would quickly be reported to the nearest city. This made the White Fields Continent’sspreading of news extremely quick, and Arthur City, which was closest to them, had most probably obtained newson them. Since they were advancing so boldly with such shocking momentum, people from far away would havemost probably noticed them.\nIf they were to head to Daylight City, it was impossible to not be caught by the enemies.\nWhat made them the most worried was not the Daylight Army, but the mining groups. As long as the White Fields Continent were to meet a large bandit troop, they would employ the mining groups to fight against the enemy. The mining groups themselves were relatively strong, with experience in battle, adding that they were extremely familiar with the grounds, if there were many of them, it was enough to pose as a threat to them.\nKnowing that Nie Qiu’s last sentence was being indirect, Zhong Li Bai snorted without hesitation: “It’s just a city.”\n“An army that has injuries by itself from an assault will definitely cause people to worry.” Nie Qiu said calmly.\nZhong Li Bai became enraged: “You want to fight?” Wright was stunned,\nScrew did not bother listening to the two of them quarrel, his eyes was immediately attracted to the prize of warsthat had been sent over.\nThe blue crystals were cut into perfect squares, and were sparkling and dazzling.\nIt was his first time encountering Set Blue Topaz, but as the chief mechanical engineer of Southern Cross Army, whohad seen countless of materials and had experimented with all of them before, he had an astute intuition towardsnew materials.\n“What’s this?”\nScrew suddenly spoke up and interrupted the two.\nZhong Li Bai looked over and was surprised: “Set Blue Topaz, they are locally mined products.”\n“We need it.” Screw suddenly said, his eyes brightening up: “They can strength Monsters!”\nTang Tian and his group first arrived at Arthur City, which was a place they had to go through to reach Red Soil City.\nWhen Tang Tian saw Arthur City, he was surprised. Arthur City was dull, it’s black walls looked to be extremelythick. But it looked like it was declining, compared to the flourishing cities of the Southern Alliance, Arthur CItylooked like an ordinary small town.\nBut upon thinking of Arthur City’s location, Tang Tian somewhat understood why.\nThe mining groups frequently moved in and out, and were often unbridled and arrogant, causing battles to occurfrequently. And there were many bandits living in the area, causing Arthur City to raise its walls higher, withcountless of lookout posts.\nArthur City was a typical mining city, where the most common and flourishing profession was related to mining andores. The purchase and selling of smelted minerals was the main pillar for the city.\nIt was extremely clear after Tang Tian entered the city.\nIt was a small replica of Three Spirits City, the only difference being there were no mechanical weapons on theroads. The Honorable Martial Continent and Gold Continent were at the east and west, and they being at the verywest of Honorable Martial Continent, they were extremely far from Gold Continent.\nAll of the workshops had their smelted metal and ores placed neatly aside. Occasionally, mining vessels would dockat the backyard of the workshops and pour out the neatly dug uncut metals and ores at the back.\nIt was completely different from the barren wilderness, Arthur City was bustling with activity.\nBut there were not many citizens living there, as the majority of them were members related to the mining industry.\nWen Kang was extremely sharp, and as long as Tang Tian revealed any interest to something, he would introduce it.Tang Tian’s group did not look easy to provoke, thus people on the road made way for them.\n“Wen Kang, you still has the balls to come to Arthur City!”\nA sinister voice sounded out from the other side of the street, a strong man covered with tattoos all over his body brought a group of people and stopped Tang Tian and the rest. His gaze landed on Wen Kang, which was filled with flames.\nWen Kang’s face turned flushed white.\nThe robust man’s gaze moved away from Wen Kang and turned to Tang Tian, and knew that Tang Tian was the boss.

赖特双手被绑得死死，黑色的绳索不知用何种材料制成，异常坚韧，无论他如何用力也无法挣脱分毫。 他身边，其他队员也被绑得结结实实，坐在矿船上。 几架机关武甲虎视眈眈地盯着他们，稍有异动，便会遭受攻击。 赖特暗中观察这些机关武甲，眼前的机关武甲和他所知的金洲武甲，有着极大的差距。 古老的东域，金洲武甲风格精细，制作精良，绝对不会像这样粗制滥造。 简直就是用边角料好不容易拼凑在一起，他第一次见到如此丑陋的机关武甲。 “你们是什么人？” 赖特忍不住问。 没人理他，几架机关武甲好似没有听到。 他们眼角余光早就瞥见不时来回巡视的钟离白，唯恐稍有动静，吸引钟老大的注意，那是找死。 性格散漫是土匪流贼的天性，想要他们听话，简直比登天还难。 奈何恶人自有恶人磨，遇到钟离白这个更加狠辣无情的家伙，这些家伙被整治得没有半点脾气。 钟离白虽然作风狂野，但是传统的学院派出身，对纪律的重视是一种本能。 而且上次还被聂秋嘲笑了一番，钟离白心头憋着一股邪火，他如今对兵团纪律工作的重视，到令人咋舌的地步。 赖特和队长对视一眼，都看到彼此眼中的惊骇。 他们之前以为遇到了金洲的流贼，可现在才发现，这伙流贼绝非寻常，流匪怎么可能会有如此森严的纪律。 他操控的【怪兽王】是由赛雷亲手打造，使用了大量的新合金，性能远超过普通的【怪兽】。 全身黑色的涂装，粗矮的身体，敦实而强壮，猩红的双目，无不昭示着这是一只极其危险的超级怪兽。 钟离白对【怪兽王】爱不释手，怪兽的战法太对他的胃口，势无可挡的冲锋，以硬碰硬，酣畅淋漓的感觉，美妙得有如毒瘾般令他无可自拔。 他舔了舔嘴唇，操控着【怪兽王】，大步流星朝矿船走去。 他居高临下俯视着矿船上的俘虏：“我只需要一名向导，其他人挖坑埋掉。” 刷，矿船上的俘虏们脸色大变，一阵骚动。 赖特一咬牙，站了起来。 在白野洲，我们熟悉这里每一个矿洞，包括每一座城市。 大人，请让卑微的我们为您尽绵薄之力，用来换取我们的性命。” 赖特恭敬而不失风度的话，让钟离白有些意外，他上下打量着有些瘦弱的赖特。 在这样的时候，还能保持镇定，挺不容易。 其他俘虏安静下来，赖特的话让他们看到一丝生机。 “这要看看你们的价值够不够让你们活下来。” 钟离白语气满不在乎：“离这最近的城市是什么？” 赖特没有废话：“大人，是阿瑟城。” 钟离白舔了舔嘴辰：“我需要战舰，小子，你有什么办法告诉我？” 赖特脑子转得飞快，几乎没有半点犹豫：“晓光城和红土城。 这两座城市都可以购买到战舰，我们购买矿船一般都在这两座城市。” 钟离白嘿然：“可是我们没有钱。” 赖特心头一颤，暗骂了句果然是土匪，但是却不敢有丝毫停顿：“那也只有去晓光城，除了商会可以购买到一些战舰，晓光兵团的战舰也停泊在晓光城。” “很好，我喜欢聪明人，希望你们像他一样聪明。” 钟离白的声音听不出喜怒，但是那一丝杀意，还是让这群人心中一颤。 钟离白提着赖特，转身离开。 返回到营地，钟离白正准备向唐天汇报，刚走进会议室，便被劈头盖脸骂了一顿。 “这就是你们的水平？” “怪兽放在你们手上简直是糟蹋，我从来没有见过素质如此低下的机关武者！” “如果我是你，马上去找块豆腐，一头撞死！” “这是什么冲锋？ 简直就是一堆狗屎！” 钟离白完全被骂懵了，怒从胸中生，一抹杀机不受控制地弥漫，可是当他看清楚骂他的人，顿时一个激灵，老老实实收着手听着。 螺丝简直出离了愤怒，足足骂了十分钟才停下来。 螺丝刚来的时候，他相当不以为然，但当他搞清楚螺丝是【怪兽】的发明者，态度立即来了一百八十度大转弯。 在听完唐天说起螺丝的一些事情，所有人受到极大的震撼。 万年足以让金属腐朽，让山河消失，却未曾湮灭一具残魂心的执念。 这是一位真正的战士！ 每个人面对螺丝，都是发自内心的尊敬，哪怕钟离白这等桀骜不驯之辈，心中也只有敬仰。 更让他心服口服的是，螺丝立即向他这个半路出家的假和尚展示了，什么才叫专业。 他自己臆想出的战术，被螺丝批判得一无是处，改得面目全非。 关键是，每一处修改，都是极具针对性。 就连聂秋，每次跑过来，都恭恭敬敬坐在一旁，像学生般听讲。 直等螺丝骂完了，钟离白才抬起头，有些底气不足地争辩道：“这次冲锋，应该完成得还好吧。” 螺丝一脸嘲讽：“一次冲锋，三人受伤。 哦，原因还是被自己人踩的。 这也叫还好？” 聂秋很配合地发出一声轻笑。 钟离白的脸色刷地通红，羞愧得恨不得找条地缝钻进去。 这么刚猛绝伦的冲锋，在这群人眼中竟然不合格的？ 看到钟离白羞愧的表情，不知为什么，赖特只觉得一股寒意从脚底直蹿上来。 聂秋瞥了一眼赖特，轻咳一声：“大人已经提前出发，前往红土城。” 想到这，聂秋也有些头痛，大人的性情还是跳脱了些。 虽然身边的护卫不少，大人本身的实力也没话说，但是身为主君，完全用不到去冒这个险。 生性谨慎的聂秋，觉得以他们现在的实力，完全可以稳打稳扎。 “大人已经去红土城？” 钟离白瞪大眼睛。 大人前往红土城，看能不能购买一些战舰。” “买战舰……”钟离白一脸疑惑。 “是的，人说他这方面的经验很丰富。” 聂秋话题一转：“晓光城是白野洲首府，亦是白野洲最大最繁华人口最多的城市。 钟离白知道聂秋没有瞎说。 由于采矿团众多，遍布荒野，这些采矿团是天然的探哨。 一旦有什么风吹草动，很快就会向最近的城市汇报。 如果他们前往明晓城，想要不被敌人发现，根本不可能。 最让人担心的反而不是晓光兵团，而是采矿团。 一旦白野洲遇到大股的盗匪，白野洲就会号召采矿团协助对抗敌人。 明知道聂秋最后一句话是激将法，钟离白也毫不犹豫冷哼道：“区区一个明光城。” “冲锋出现伤亡的兵团总是会让人情不禁担心呢。” 聂秋悠然道。 钟离白勃然大怒：“要打架吗？” 螺丝却没有听见两人争吵，他的目光被送来的战利品吸引。 蓝色的晶体，被切割成整齐的立方体，晶莹剔透。 他第一次遇到定蓝晶，但是曾经和无数材料打过交道的南十字兵团首席机关师，对新材料有着异乎寻常敏锐的直觉。 “这个是什么？” 螺丝忽然开口，打断两人。 钟离白看过来，恍然大悟道：“定蓝晶，当地的一种矿物。” “我们需要它。” 螺丝直接道，他的目光亮起异色：“它可以增强怪兽！” 唐天一行人先抵达阿瑟城，阿瑟城是前往红土城的必经之地。 阿瑟城灰扑扑的，黑色的城墙，看上去很厚实。 但是它看上去实在有点落后，见惯了南盟那些繁荣的城市，眼前的阿瑟城就是一个不起眼的小镇。 不过想想阿瑟城的位置，唐天也有些理解。 采矿团出入频繁，他们往往性情桀骜不驯，火拼实属家常便饭。 还有大量的流匪生活在这片土地，因此阿瑟城的城墙很高，各种岗哨如森。 阿瑟城是一座典型的矿产城市，这里最繁荣的是和矿产相关的行业。 矿物的冶炼、买卖，是这座城市的支柱行业。 入城之后唐天感受特别明显。 街道两旁，随处可见冶炼工坊，赤红的火炉，沸腾的铁水，都让唐天感到异常的熟悉。 简直就像一个小型的三魂城，唯一的区别就是街道上完全看不到机关武甲。 这些工坊，把冶炼好的金属和晶体矿，整齐地摆放。 不时有矿船降落到工坊后院，把新挖的矿石倾倒在后院。 与野外的荒凉不同，阿瑟城颇为热闹。 不过这里生活的民众并不多，大多的是从事矿类相关的人员。 文康极为识趣，只要唐天一露出对什么感兴趣，他便会连忙介绍。 唐天一行人，看上去就不好招惹，路上行人纷纷闪避。 “文康，你还有胆量来阿瑟城！” 一声狞笑，从街道的另一边响起，一名身上布满刺青的壮汉，带着一群人堵住唐天他们的去路。 他的目光，盯着文康，满是怒火。 文康脸色刷地白了。 壮汉的目光从文康身上挪开，转到唐天身上，显然唐天才是主子。 他有些疑惑，文康不是在罪域要塞吗？ 不过伍轩兵团他也丝毫不惧，比靠山，伍轩还差得远。 他打量了唐天一眼，看不出深浅。 但是当他的目光扫过唐天身边诸人，心中蓦地一凛。
Wright’s hands were tied in a dead knot, the black rope that was made of an unknown material was extremely firm,regardless of how he tried to get free of it, it was futile. By his sides, his other members were also tied up andhuddled together on the mining vessel. A few mechanical weapons stared at them like tigers watching their prey, if they were to make any strangemovements, they would be attacked. Wright secretly observed the mechanical weapons, the mechanical weapons had great differences compared to themechanical weapons from the Gold Continent that he knew of. In the East Region, the Gold Continent’s mechanicalweapons had meticulous style and were made with superior qualities, and were never as crude and sloppy like theones in front of him. They truly looked to be made out of random materials put together, it was his first time seeing truly ugly mechanicalweapons. “Who are you guys?” Wright could not help but ask. No one bothered with him, as though the few mechanical weapons did not hear him at all. Their eyes were fixated onZhong Li Bai who had returned, they were afraid of making even the slightest movement that would attract BossZhong’s attention, that was truly seeking death. Disorganized and ill disciplined were characteristics of bandits, and for them to listen and be obedient was anextremely difficult task. But even the most evil person would have their demons, and meeting Zhong Li Bai, a personwho was even more cunning and emotionless than them, all of them were brought under control. Although Zhong Li Bai was a wild card, he was still someone from the traditional academies, and viewed discipline assomething basic. And after being mocked by Nie Qiu, Zhong Li Bai’s heart was filled with an evil flame, thus hisstrictness towards his army had reached a jaw dropping level. Wright and the captain looked at each other, both overwhelmed by shock at the scene in front of them. Theypreviously thought that they had met with bandits from the Gold Continent, only to reali ze that the bandits were farfrom normal, as how would bandits ever possibly be so strict and disciplined. Zhong Li Bai controlled the Monster, rumbling forward as he made a round trip to inspect the area. What he controlled was [Monster King], personally created by Sai Lei, which used plenty of new alloys, and its capabilities and endurance far surpassed that of [Monster]. Its entire black body with its stout stature looked to be extremely dense and strong, and its fiery red eyes declared to the world that it was an extremely dangerous monster. He licked his lips and controlled the [Monster King], taking large strides as he walked towards the vessel. He looked down at the captives on the vessel: “I only need one guide, bury the rest.” Whoosh, all the faces of the captives on the boat changed, and they flew into an uproar. Wright clenched his teeth and stood up. “Master, your army is so strong and powerful and so large, you will need more guides. In the White Field Continent, we are familiar with every mine cave, including every city. Master, allow our petty lives to work for you, in exchange for our lives.” Wright spoke respectfully yet not losing his bearing, causing Zhong Li Bai to be somewhat surprised, and he sized upthe scrawny Wright again. ~To be able to maintain his calm at such a time is not easy.~ The rest of the captives kept quiet, Wright’s words made them see a bit of hope to live. “That will depends on whether you guys are even worth it to let live.” Zhong Li Bai’s words was filled withunhappiness: “What is the closest city to here?” Wright did not beat about the bush and said: “Master, That will be Arthur City.” Zhong Li Bai licked his lips: “I need warships, brat, do you have any ideas to tell me?” Wright’s mind worked quickly and almost without hesitation, he replied: “The Daylight City and Red Soil City. Youcan buy warships there, our mining vessels comes from either one of those two places.” Zhong Li Bai scoffed: “We have no money.” Wright’s heart trembled, he scolded in his hearts, ~They truly are lowly bandits~, but did not hesitate to speak:“Then we can only go to Daylight City, other than the few businesses that sells warships, the Daylight Army’swarships are also docked there.” “Very good, I like intelligent people, I hope that all of you are as intelligent as him.” Zhong Li Bai’s tone of speech was indifferent, but the killing intent made all of them tremble. Zhong Li Bai carried Wright and turned to leave. Returning back to the barracks, Zhong Li Bai was about to report to Tang Tian, when upon entering the conferenceroom, he was showered with curses. “This is your standard?” “It is truly a waste for the monsters to be in your hands, I have never met such low quality mechanical martial artistsin my life before!” “If I were you, I would find some tofu and strike myself in the head to die!” “What kind of assault is that? It is truly dog shit!” Zhong Li Bai was struck by the curses and scolding, causing a rage to birth in his chest, and a trace of killing intentpervaded out uncontrollably, but when he saw who was the man scolding him, he immediately quivered, and had hishands behind his back as he listened on earnestly. Screw was truly enraged, and scolded for a full 10 minutes before stopping. Zhong Li Bai maintained an extremely obedient front. When Screw had just come, he ignored him, but when herealized that Screw was the creator of [Monster], his attitude towards him turned a 180 degrees. When he heard from Tang Tian about what Screw had lived through, he received an immense shock. Ten thousandyears was enough to cause metal to degenerate, and mountains and rivers to disappear, yet it could not extinguishthe conviction of a shattered spirit. He was a true warrior!! Everyone’s face towards Screw was one of respect, even Zhong Li Bai, an arrogant and unbridled man, had respecttowards Screw. What made him even more submissive towards Screw was that Screw instantly showed him, a manwho switched to a profession that he was not trained for, what was true professionalism in the fields of mechanicaltechniques. The tactics that he made himself, were all evaluated by Screw and changed completely. The crux was that everychange had an extreme purpose. Even Nie Qiu would always run over and respectfully sit by the side and listen like a student. When Screw finished scolding, Zhong Li Bai then raised his head, and spoke out like a deflated balloon: “This assaultcould be said to be done quite alright to me.” “Quite alright?” Screw had a look of ridicule: “One assault, and three men were injured. Oh, the reason being theirown teammates trampled on them, you call that ‘Quite alright’?” Nie Qiu chuckled. Zhong Li Bai’s face flushed red, he was so ashamed that he so badly wanted to find a hole to hide himself in. Ever since he came in, Wright was stunned. ~It was such a fearsome assault, but it was considered a failure to thesepeople?~ Seeing Zhong Li Bai’s ashamed expression, for some reason, Wright felt a cold intent jumping frombeneath his feet. Nie Qiu glanced at Wright, then coughed: “Master has already moved out, he is heading to Red Soil City.” Upon thinking about that, Nie Qiu had a headache as well, the Master liked to jump ahead of the rest. Althoughthere were many bodyguards by his side, and with his own personal strength, but as the lord and king, he had noneed to take such a risk. Nie Qiu who was innately cautious felt that with their current strength, they could completely settle everythingsafely. “Master has already gone to Red Soil City?” Zhong Li Bai’s eyes opened wide. “That’s right.” Nie Qiu replied: “Master clarified. The White Fields Continent has two places that has warships, one isDaylight City and the other is Red Soil City. Daylight City’s warships are mainly controlled by their local army.Master said that this problem will be handed over to you. Master is heading over to Red Soil City to see if he can buya few warships.” “Yes, people say that Master is experienced in this aspect.” Nie Qiu changed topic: “Daylight City is the White Fields Continent’s main city, and is also the most flourishing city in White Fields Continent. The Daylight Army that is garrisoned there is relatively strong, the crucial point being they are very cautious. I suggest waiting for Master to return, then we will change our plans accordingly.” Zhong Li Bai knew that Nie Qiu was not speaking blindly. As there were many mining groups spread across the wilderness, the mining groups became natural sentries. Aslong as there was any news, it would quickly be reported to the nearest city. This made the White Fields Continent’sspreading of news extremely quick, and Arthur City, which was closest to them, had most probably obtained newson them. Since they were advancing so boldly with such shocking momentum, people from far away would havemost probably noticed them. If they were to head to Daylight City, it was impossible to not be caught by the enemies. What made them the most worried was not the Daylight Army, but the mining groups. As long as the White Fields Continent were to meet a large bandit troop, they would employ the mining groups to fight against the enemy. The mining groups themselves were relatively strong, with experience in battle, adding that they were extremely familiar with the grounds, if there were many of them, it was enough to pose as a threat to them. Knowing that Nie Qiu’s last sentence was being indirect, Zhong Li Bai snorted without hesitation: “It’s just a city.” “An army that has injuries by itself from an assault will definitely cause people to worry.” Nie Qiu said calmly. Zhong Li Bai became enraged: “You want to fight?” Wright was stunned, Screw did not bother listening to the two of them quarrel, his eyes was immediately attracted to the prize of warsthat had been sent over. The blue crystals were cut into perfect squares, and were sparkling and dazzling. It was his first time encountering Set Blue Topaz, but as the chief mechanical engineer of Southern Cross Army, whohad seen countless of materials and had experimented with all of them before, he had an astute intuition towardsnew materials. “What’s this?” Screw suddenly spoke up and interrupted the two. Zhong Li Bai looked over and was surprised: “Set Blue Topaz, they are locally mined products.” “We need it.” Screw suddenly said, his eyes brightening up: “They can strength Monsters!” Tang Tian and his group first arrived at Arthur City, which was a place they had to go through to reach Red Soil City. When Tang Tian saw Arthur City, he was surprised. Arthur City was dull, it’s black walls looked to be extremelythick. But it looked like it was declining, compared to the flourishing cities of the Southern Alliance, Arthur CItylooked like an ordinary small town. But upon thinking of Arthur City’s location, Tang Tian somewhat understood why. The mining groups frequently moved in and out, and were often unbridled and arrogant, causing battles to occurfrequently. And there were many bandits living in the area, causing Arthur City to raise its walls higher, withcountless of lookout posts. Arthur City was a typical mining city, where the most common and flourishing profession was related to mining andores. The purchase and selling of smelted minerals was the main pillar for the city. It was extremely clear after Tang Tian entered the city. It was a small replica of Three Spirits City, the only difference being there were no mechanical weapons on theroads. The Honorable Martial Continent and Gold Continent were at the east and west, and they being at the verywest of Honorable Martial Continent, they were extremely far from Gold Continent. All of the workshops had their smelted metal and ores placed neatly aside. Occasionally, mining vessels would dockat the backyard of the workshops and pour out the neatly dug uncut metals and ores at the back. It was completely different from the barren wilderness, Arthur City was bustling with activity. But there were not many citizens living there, as the majority of them were members related to the mining industry. Wen Kang was extremely sharp, and as long as Tang Tian revealed any interest to something, he would introduce it.Tang Tian’s group did not look easy to provoke, thus people on the road made way for them. “Wen Kang, you still has the balls to come to Arthur City!” A sinister voice sounded out from the other side of the street, a strong man covered with tattoos all over his body brought a group of people and stopped Tang Tian and the rest. His gaze landed on Wen Kang, which was filled with flames. Wen Kang’s face turned flushed white. The robust man’s gaze moved away from Wen Kang and turned to Tang Tian, and knew that Tang Tian was the boss. He was skeptical, ~Wasn’t Wen Kang supposed to be at the Sin Domain stronghold? Why is he accompanying people here? Coud it be that they are guests from Wu Xuan’s Army?~ But he did not fear Wu Xuan’s Army at all, comparing supporters, Wu Xuan was lacking compared to him. He sized Tang Tian up, and could not make anything out from him. But when his gaze passed by the people around Tang Tian, his heart trembled.

第三十一章 年轻男子笑眯眯的道。 山治无语，这算是什么回答？ 不过他在向旁边扫了一眼后，眼睛直接忽略巴基的大红鼻子，看到了一脸清冷，正捧着橙汁喝的青柚。 “哇，可爱的萝莉酱！” 双眼立刻变为两颗桃心，整个人更是有软化的趋势。 秦逸苦笑一声，没想到自己的魅力，在青柚面前竟然完败。 “山治，此次前来，我们是专门找你的。” 山治盯着青柚，恨不得扑上去，随意问道。 “为了你的梦想。” 秦逸道。 “梦想？” 山治转头，看向秦逸，有些嘲讽：“你知道我有什么梦想？” 秦逸一笑，从嘴中吐出一个词语。 BLUE！” 听到这梦中让自己魂牵梦萦的词语，山治瞳孔收缩了。 “你到底是谁？” “一个了解你，并且愿意帮助你的人。” “你了解我？ 不可能！” 山治摇头冷笑，他的身世，从未告诉过任何人，从他走出那里的一刻，他就是另一个人。 “未来的某一天，你能够确定自己不会碰到你那三个兄弟？ 那个无情的父亲吗？” “如果想要掌控自己的命运，那就加入我，你会完成自己的梦想，会掌握力量，让他们无法对你做出任何伤害。” “山治，我希望你相信我。” 秦逸眼神变得严肃，沉声说道。 眼前这个人，竟然真的认识他，了解他！ “你，到底是什么人？” 山治震惊道。 “我说了，是来帮助你的人。” “考虑一下吧，山治，我们很希望你加入！” 秦逸微笑道。 山治再次仔细观察了这桌上的三位客人，一个气度不凡的年轻人，一位他最喜欢的萝莉美女，最后一个红鼻子，直接被他忽略掉。 “就你们三个？” “不仅仅是三个，我们是一个组织。” 秦逸道。 “正在建立中的王国，希望能够得到强者们的加入！ 在我眼中，你是一个真正的强者！” “我很欣赏你！” 山治呆住了，一位国王，邀请他加入？ 半晌后，他的嘴角浮现出一丝冷笑。 “忽悠谁呢？” 一转身，山治快步离开。 看着山治的背影，秦逸摇摇头。 会不会加入他们，秦逸也只是邀请试试。 作为海贼王船上的主战力量，山治尽管此时的实力还不够强大，但其潜力却不容忽视。 这一路上，议事院与军队先走，会将先行阿拉巴斯坦占据，布置他们的计划。 而秦逸，则负责招揽一群强力的人，或者说伙伴。 至于斑，秦逸很清楚，这个人是闲不下来的，随着他对这世界的了解，迟早会爆发出大新闻。 他，很乐意斑做这样的事，来吸引视线。 “陛下，这个人在犹豫。” 秦逸点点头。 不错，山治尽管离开前表现出那副神情，但是其心中已经动摇。 回到后厨的山治，显得有些心不在焉。 “小子，你怎么回事？ 调料放多了，看不出来吗？ 还能不能干？” 按往常来说，一定会与老头硬怼的山治，这一次却是沉默。 哲普觉得奇怪，但也没理会。 过了一会儿后，山治突然开口。 “老头，如果我说，我要离开，你会同意吗？” 离开？ 翅膀还没长硬，你就想飞？” 哲普冷笑道。 “我要去伟大航路，去寻找ALL BLUE！” 他被吸引了，年轻的少年，心中总是长怀梦想的。 秦逸的话语虽然简短，也没有多少修饰，但句句直指山治的弱点。 尽管一直以来在这里，他生活的很幸福。 “是不是有人对你说什么了？ 你一个人能做什么？” 哲普冷声道。 犹豫一下，山治将遇到秦逸，并且对他提出邀请的事情说了出来。 “哼，一群老油子的话你也敢信，拉出去将你卖了，你还得帮着数钱！” 哲普将炒完的菜盛在盘子中，然后抹下身上褂子，一转身走出后厨。 “山治，给我滚过来！” 走到餐厅门口，哲普转身爆吼。 来到餐厅中，哲普问了人后，很快来到秦逸一桌前。 “饭菜还好吃吗？” 秦逸抬头，看到哲普背后有些紧张的山治，心中立刻明白了怎么回事。 “很可口，山治的厨艺非常棒！” “很会说话，怪不得臭小子会被你忽悠的魂不守舍。” 哲普冷笑道。 “哲普先生，认为我在骗山治吗？” 秦逸反问。 还没等对方回答，秦逸又是开口。 “不，以我的身份，地位和实力，完全没必要欺骗一个少年。 我对山治提出邀请，只是因为我欣赏他。” “我认为，我们可以一路同行，共同走到彼此的巅峰。” 哲普一愣，意识到眼前这人的谈吐，见识都不一般。 但是，他可不会那么容易被说服。 走到哪里？” 冷笑一声，哲普喝道。 还是东海？” 扫视了一眼巴基：“就凭巴基？ 凭这个胸无大志，蒙混过关，实力低下的小海贼？” 巴基听到，勃然大怒，就要拍桌子，却在秦逸一眼后，愤愤不平的坐在那里没有了反应。 青柚面色清冷，依然在静静地吸着果汁。 秦逸听到如此苛责的话语，却是面带微笑。 “实际上，伟大航道只是我们的第一站，接下来，我还会去新世界，在这片世界里，要做的事情，实在太多了！” 哲普震惊了，为眼前之人的厚脸皮感到惊叹。 “臭小子，你吹牛不怕闪了舌头吗？” 秦逸目光一闪，直视眼前金辫子老头：“实际上，我从不吹牛，哲普先生。” “既然，你质疑我的实力，那我便让你看看。” 站起身，秦逸走向餐厅外。
Volume 2 - Chapter 31 Chapter 31: The ProofQin Yi smiled awkwardly. Sanji was speechless. What could he say? However, when he glanced aside, his eyes ignored Buggy’s, and he saw Pomelo, holding orange juice and drinking. “Wow, lovely Loli!” his eyes immediately become two red hearts. Both eyes immediately become two peach hearts, and the whole person tends to soften. Qin Yi laughed; he did not expect that Pomelo will attract him. “Sanji, we are looking for you, especially.” Qin Yi said. “looking for me for what?” Sanji stared at Pomelo and said. “For your dream.” Qin Yi said. “My dream?” Sanji turned his head and looked at Qin Yi with some sarcasm: “Do you know what my dream is?” Qin Yi smiled and said. “ALL BLUE!” Hearing this word, Sanji pupils contracted. “Who the hell are you?” “A person who knows you and is willing to help you.” Qin Yi said. “You know me? No way!” Sanji shook his head. He never told anyone about his life. From the moment he stepped out of the island, he was another man. “One day in the future, are you sure you won’t meet your three brothers? moreover, your ruthless father?” “If you want to choose your destiny, join me, you will fulfill your dream, and you will have the power to make them unable to do anything to you..” “Sanji I hope you believe me.” Qin ‘Yi’s eyes became serious, and he said. Three short sentences, making Sanji stunned. The man in front of him knows him! “Who on earth are you?” Sanji was shocked. “I said, I’m a person who wants to help you.” “Think about it, Sanji. We want you to join us!” Qin Yi smiled. Sanji once again observed the three visitors on the table, a young man, a lovely Loli, and a clown. “Just the three of you?” “It’s not just three. We’re an organization.” Qin Yi said. “kingdom! to be specific,” Qin Yi said directly. “a kingdom that is establishing, we seek strong men! In my eyes, you are a real strong man!” Sanji was stunned. A king invited him to join? After a while, a sneer appeared in the corner of his mouth. “Whom are you fooling?” As soon as he turned around, Sanji left quickly. Looking at Sanji’s back, Qin Yi shook his head. He didn’t care about Sanji’s attitude. Anyone can do this in such a situation. Will he join them? Qin Yi just invited to try. As in the manga, Sanji is not strong enough at this time, but its potential can not be ignored. The plan now, the Council and the army will go first to occupy Alabasta. Moreover, their projects will be arranged, Qin Yi, on the other hand, was responsible for recruiting a group of influential people. As for Madara, Qin Yi knows very well that this man can’t stay idle. With his understanding of the world, the news will break out sooner or later. He was happy; they need such things to attract sight. “Your Majesty, this man is hesitating,” Pomelo said. Qin Yi nodded. Yes, although Sanji showed that look before he left. However, his heart has been shaken. Going back to the kitchen, Sanji, he seems absent-minded. “What’s wrong with you, boy? There is too much spice. Can’t you see it? “Zeff roared. usually, he would react hard with the old man, but this time, he was silent. Zeff thought it is strange, but he ignored it. After a while, Sanji suddenly said. “Old man, if I said, I want to leave, would you agree?” “What did you say? Leave? Do you want to fly before your wings get strong?” Zeff sneered. “I’m going to the Grand Line to find ALL BLUE!” Sanji said. He was attracted, young teenagers have endless dreams. Although Qin Yi’s words are brief and without much explaining, he pointed directly to the weakness of Sanji. Although he has been here all the time and he loves his life here. However, Sanji knows very well that his future is not here! “Did someone said something to you? What can you do alone?” Zeff said. Having hesitated, Sanji will meet Qin Yi and tell him about his decision. “Well, if you want to go, pull out some rare old oils and sell it, you need to make money first!” Zeff put the pan on the stove and said, Sanji wiped off his jacket, turned around and stepped out of the kitchen. “Sanji, don’t turn your back to me!” When Sanji reached the restaurant door, Zeff turned and roared. Zeff went quickly to Qin Yi’s table. “Is the food delicious?” said Zeff. Qin Yi looked up and saw this man beside him and anger flying from his eyes. He immediately understood what was going on. “absolutely delicious, ‘Sanji’s cooking is great!” “talkative, I see, no wonder the stinky boy will be fooled by your words.” Zeff sneered. “Mr. Zeff, do you think I’m deceiving Sanji?” Qin Yi asked. Before Zeff answered, Qin Yi, said again. “No, anyone in my identity, status, and strength, doesn’t need to deceive a teenager. I invited Sanji just because I appreciated him.” “I think we can go all the way together and we will achieve our goals.” Zeff was stunned and realized that the man in front of him had different opinions. However, he won’t be so easily convinced. “Goals? Where are you going?” With a sneer, Zeff shouted. “Grand Line? East Blue?” Glancing at Buggy, he said, “Just Buggy?

Once they had successfully trained their art source, this would be of great benefit to their own cultivation, so naturally they thanked the Cave Master with expressions of heartfelt joy.\nYan Xiu only looked on and didn’t say anything. He knew that Miao Yi did this as preparation in case he could not make it back, the two Orbs of Will would act as a sort of reparation for the two young girls on account of their relationship.\nThey watched as the two young ladies left to gather the cultivators of East Arrival Cave for departure.\nNot long after, at the plaza outside the East Arrival Grand Hall; Zheng Jinlong, Wang Zifa, Zhu Tianbiao, Qiu Shaoqun, Dan Biaoyi, Shang Youlai, Hou Sheng, Nan Sisi and Wang Xiuqin, all fell in line on their dragon steeds with their weapons in hand.\nEven the gatekeeper had been called over; every one of them looked at each other, unsure of what was happening, and why the Cave Master was making such a big commotion.\nMiao Yi walked over slowly from the treasury. He had already stuffed all the annual gifts from East Arrival City into his storage ring. As he came out of the Grand Hall he called Charcoal over and leapt onto his steed. He turned to look at Yan Xiu, who was cupping his fists to send them off, before waving his hand and saying, “March!”\nA puzzled group followed after him as their horses broke into a gallop; their stomps boomed like thunder with overwhelming momentum.\nQian’Er and Xue’Er only felt that their Cave Master looked valiant, and were completely unaware to when he would return.\nAs they journeyed on, Zheng Jinlong could no longer hold back his doubts, and chased after Miao Yi’s back to ask, “Cave Master, where are we going?”\n“You’ll naturally find out once we reach.” Miao Yi didn’t leak any information out at all.\nThe group rode to the seaside, and one by one brought their dragon steeds onto the ship in the dock.\nTo everyone, the existence of this ship was no secret, but they were curious as to where they were sailing off to.\nWith other dragon steeds on the ship, there was of course no need for the Cave Master’s own steed to be the ship’s primary driving force.\nWhat’s more is that the other dragon steeds were more obedient, and did whatever the master told them to, unlike Charcoal, who didn’t have the self-awareness that it was a steed with a master.\nSeeing others suffering, Charcoal felt a rush of energy, and the beast that Miao Yi usually had to force or coax into the power chamber, stepped foot inside of its own accord. With its rump held high, Charcoal made a couple snorts to the other horses that had to become the driving force, as a display of its status. It even twisted its butt at the others and flicked its tail around, before finally leaving, as though asking the others to work hard.\nHou Sheng handled the rudder under Miao Yi’s instructions; as the ship headed out to sea, he immediately steered it towards the south-eastern direction.\nThe dragon steeds all heeded their master's orders and obediently stood in a line beside the railing of the ship’s deck, facing the great ocean. Charcoal was the only one that was used to being extremely lax, occasionally falling in line, bumping its head on this, and hitting its rump on that; it even ran around on the deck. Its vigor was evident, only that it was a little plump.\nEveryone had already gotten accustomed to this Cave Master’s steed that lacked even the slightest ounce of discipline, and had often been left to run wild in East Arrival Cave. Many of East Arrival Cave’s plants and flowers had been destroyed by this beast. It even ran inside everyone’s cultivation residences where it continued on with its path of destruction, then laid on their flower gardens and slept.\nIf it wasn’t Miao Yi’s steed, everyone would have thought of butchering this bastard long ago. A steed that didn’t behave in a steed’s manner, clearly the Cave Master was the one that spoilt it so.\nOn the highest deck of the ship, everyone stood behind Miao Yi, facing the ocean as they rode the wind and broke through the waves.\nWang Zifa and the rest threw a glance to Zheng Jinlong; he could only walk to Miao Yi’s side with much difficulty and ask once more, “Cave Master, what is it that we are supposed to do here?”\nMiao Yi slowly turned around, and smiled to the rest, “Doesn’t everyone still remember the fact that I have an alternate source for Orbs of Will? This Cave Master has not forgotten his promise, so this journey is obviously to share the rewards with everyone here!”\nThe rest of their eyes immediately brightened, ‘Could it be that we were going to get some Orbs of Will?’\nThen they listened on as Miao Yi added, “Because this matter is of grave importance, I was afraid that someone would leak out the information, which was why I didn’t tell any of you beforehand. I hope all of you will not blame me.”\nAs he became used to being the ‘esteemed’ Cave Master, his tone when speaking with all of them had gradually become more suited to to the position of Cave Master.\n“Cave Master’s words are too serious!”\n“Cave Master is wise. This matter is indeed very important, so it was natural to do so!”\n“Cave Master can make all the decisions, we will simply heed your orders.”\nThe rest of them couldn’t hold back their excitement as their eyes shone; one after another speaking words of flattery.\nShang Youlai, Hou Sheng, Nan Sisi, and Wan Xiuqin were even more ecstatic.\nThey had gone through a lot of pain these past two years. Originally, each of them could get two Orbs of Will every year, but then Zheng Jinlong popped out of nowhere, and the four of them could do naught but take turns readying three orbs every year to give to Senior Brother Zheng.\nThey were told to wait until the Cave Master could compensate them for their share of Orbs of Will from his alternate source, but it had been so long and the Cave Master hadn’t so much as batted an eye at them. They didn’t dare speak their opinions out to the Cave Master or their Senior Brother, so they could only keep everything to themselves. They even thought that it was only a method used by the Cave Master in order to subjugate them previously, and in truth, that the so-called alternate source of Orbs of Will didn’t exist at all. Who knew that the Cave Master would be so appreciative this time around, and was really going to retrieve the Orbs of Will; it could certainly be said to be a pleasant surprise.\nThey no longer looked at the Cave Master the same way.\nMiao Yi swept him a cold glare that stopped him, and said indifferently, “It seems you’re really interested in knowing the details first? You wouldn’t happen to be plotting something, would you?”\n“No! Nothing of the sort!” said Zheng Jinlong, anxiously waving his hand. He knew that he had broken a taboo, and didn’t dare continue his inquiry.\nEven if the rest of them had doubts, they knew that the Cave Master was sure to keep this sort of secret to himself, and wouldn’t easily reveal it; thus, no one bothered asking anymore, so long as they could get their Orbs of Will in due time.\nAmong them Dan Biaoyi felt a little depressed, as he didn’t know that the Cave Master was bringing them out for this.

第一一二章 “我修为突破到白莲三品的事情暂时不要外泄。” 苗毅交代一句，收敛了眉心的莲花幻影。 两人一阵嘀嘀咕咕密谋后，一起离开了静室。 在外面见到千儿和雪儿，苗毅又驻足沉吟了一会儿，拿出两颗愿力珠分别赐给了两个丫头。 两丫头知道这是好东西，等到自己的法源炼成后，对自己的修为大有帮助，自然是一脸欣喜地谢过洞主。 阎修只是看着，什么话都没说，知道苗毅这是在给自己万一回不来做准备，两枚愿力珠是对两丫头情分一场的交待。 目送两丫头离去召集东来洞修士集合出发。 没多久，东来殿外的广场上，郑金龙、王子法、朱天表、邱绍群、单表义、商又来、候胜、南思思和王秀琴，一个个手提武器驾驭着龙驹列队。 连看守山门的都被召集来了，不过一个个面面相觑，不知道发生了什么事，洞主要搞出这么大的动静。 从库房慢慢走来的苗毅，已经把东来城送来的年礼装了满满一储物戒，来到大殿外招了黑炭出来，翻身上马，回头瞥了眼拱手送行的阎修，大手一挥道：“出发！” 一帮莫名其妙的人跟在他身后风驰电掣而去，龙驹蹄声如雷，气势如虹。 千儿和雪儿只觉得洞主威武，丝毫不知洞主此去何曰才是归期。 途中，郑金龙最终还是忍不住疑惑，追在苗毅身后问道：“洞主，我们这是去哪？” “到了地方自然就知道。” 苗毅没有透露一点口风。 一伙人驰骋到海边，一个个牵着龙驹进了‘船坞’登船。 这艘楼船的存在对大家来说不是秘密，大家只是好奇要乘船去哪。 有了其他人的龙驹登船，自然用不着洞主大人的坐骑来当楼船的动力来源。 何况其他人的龙驹也比较听话，主人让干什么就干什么，不像黑炭没有身为主人坐骑的觉悟。 看见别人受苦，黑炭却来了精神，平常要苗毅威逼利诱才进动力仓的厮，屁颠颠主动钻入舱内，对成为劳力的某人坐骑‘希律律’炫耀两声，又朝‘人家’扭扭屁股，甩甩尾巴，才出去了，一副让‘人家’好好干的样子。 候胜掌舵，按照苗毅的指示，船一出海，直接向东南方向驶去。 船上龙驹在甲板边的栏杆旁面朝大海老老实实听主人话站了一排，只有黑炭懒散惯了，不时挤入其中，脑袋撞撞这个，屁股顶顶那个，又在甲板上到处乱溜达，神气活现，就是有点胖。 众人已经习惯了这条经常在东来洞到处瞎逛没有一点纪律姓的洞主坐骑，东来洞的花花草草被这厮破坏了不少，甚至还跑到大家的修行府邸中搞破坏，躺在人家的花圃中打盹。 如果不是苗毅的坐骑，大家早就有宰掉这厮的念头，坐骑没有个坐骑样，都是被洞主给惯的。 楼船最顶层的甲板上，大家站在苗毅的身后面朝大海乘风破浪。 王子法等人朝郑金龙使了个眼色，郑金龙只好勉为其难地走到苗毅身旁再次问道：“洞主，我们这是要去干什么？” 苗毅慢慢转过身来，面对众人微笑道：“诸位不是一直惦记着愿力珠的其它来路吗？ 本洞主未曾忘记自己的承诺，此去正是与诸位有福同享！” 众人顿时眼睛一亮，难道是去弄愿力珠？ 又听苗毅继续说道：“只因此事事关重大，怕有人走漏消息，事先才不告知诸位，还望诸位不要见怪。” 做惯了‘高高在上’的洞主，面对众人说话是越来越有洞主的味道了。 “洞主言重了！” “洞主英明，事关重大，理当如此！” “洞主尽管做主，我等听从号令便是。” 欣喜不已的众人一个个眼睛发亮，在那阿谀奉承拍马屁。 商又来、候胜、南思思、王秀琴四人更是激动。 这两年过的苦啊，本来四人每年有两粒愿力珠的，奈何突然空降了一个郑金龙来，硬是轮流从四人头上每年剥出三粒来给郑师兄。 说是说等洞主有了其他愿力珠的来路再补还到他们头上，可是左不见洞主有反应，右也不见洞主有反应，又不敢对洞主及师兄有意见，只好憋在心里，还以为之前只是洞主降服他们的手段，压根就没有所谓的什么愿力珠其他来源，没想到这次洞主洪恩浩荡，真要去弄愿力珠，可谓是喜出望外。 再看向洞主大人的眼神都不一样了。 苗毅冷眼扫来，淡淡打断道：“你很想先知道底细？ 不会是有什么企图吧？” “没有，没有！” 郑金龙连忙摆手，知道犯了忌讳，不敢再问下去了。 其他人尽管也有疑惑，不过都知道这种秘密洞主肯定想掌握在自己手里，不会轻易泄露，于是也就没人再多嘴了，反正到时候有愿力珠就行。 几人中的单表义多少有点郁闷，没想到洞主是带大家去干这事，他现在是杨庆派到东来洞的‘歼细’，一直在定期将东来洞的状况秘密上报。 现在好了，洞主突然这么来一下，人已经到了海上，他连把消息给传出去的机会都没有。 众人闲聊几句后，听了一阵马屁话的苗毅下了楼，走进了自己的单间，船上最大的单间自然是属于他这个洞主的。 曰出又曰落，白天看海，夜晚看繁星夜幕，感知天地无垠。 曰复一曰过去，众人轮流掌舵，轮流让自己的龙驹坐骑做楼船的动力。 而苗毅大部分的时间都在船舱内打坐修炼。 一群修士倒也不惧海上漂泊的曰子枯寂无聊，正好用来修炼。 不过一个月后，船仍旧没有靠岸的迹象，以龙驹为动力的船速来说，这极不正常。 众人渐渐从航向上发现了不对，这去向似乎是去妖国，尤其像是妖国最混乱的地域…星宿海！ 大家又不是初出茅庐的修士，从航向上渐渐看出了端倪，隐隐怀疑洞主所谓的愿力珠来源会不会是去星宿海狩猎？
Chapter 112: March Onwards to the Sea of Constellations (2) “For the time being, do not let anyone else know that my cultivation has broken through to White Lotus Third Grade.” Miao Yi instructed, then hid the lotus outline on his forehead. The two of them discussed their secret plan in hushed voices, then left the silent quarters together. As he saw Qian’Er and Xue’Er outside, Miao Yi stopped in his tracks and pondered for a while, then took out two Orbs of Will and gave one each to the two young girls. The both of them knew this was something good. Once they had successfully trained their art source, this would be of great benefit to their own cultivation, so naturally they thanked the Cave Master with expressions of heartfelt joy. Yan Xiu only looked on and didn’t say anything. He knew that Miao Yi did this as preparation in case he could not make it back, the two Orbs of Will would act as a sort of reparation for the two young girls on account of their relationship. They watched as the two young ladies left to gather the cultivators of East Arrival Cave for departure. Not long after, at the plaza outside the East Arrival Grand Hall; Zheng Jinlong, Wang Zifa, Zhu Tianbiao, Qiu Shaoqun, Dan Biaoyi, Shang Youlai, Hou Sheng, Nan Sisi and Wang Xiuqin, all fell in line on their dragon steeds with their weapons in hand. Even the gatekeeper had been called over; every one of them looked at each other, unsure of what was happening, and why the Cave Master was making such a big commotion. Miao Yi walked over slowly from the treasury. He had already stuffed all the annual gifts from East Arrival City into his storage ring. As he came out of the Grand Hall he called Charcoal over and leapt onto his steed. He turned to look at Yan Xiu, who was cupping his fists to send them off, before waving his hand and saying, “March!” A puzzled group followed after him as their horses broke into a gallop; their stomps boomed like thunder with overwhelming momentum. Qian’Er and Xue’Er only felt that their Cave Master looked valiant, and were completely unaware to when he would return. As they journeyed on, Zheng Jinlong could no longer hold back his doubts, and chased after Miao Yi’s back to ask, “Cave Master, where are we going?” “You’ll naturally find out once we reach.” Miao Yi didn’t leak any information out at all. The group rode to the seaside, and one by one brought their dragon steeds onto the ship in the dock. To everyone, the existence of this ship was no secret, but they were curious as to where they were sailing off to. With other dragon steeds on the ship, there was of course no need for the Cave Master’s own steed to be the ship’s primary driving force. What’s more is that the other dragon steeds were more obedient, and did whatever the master told them to, unlike Charcoal, who didn’t have the self-awareness that it was a steed with a master. Seeing others suffering, Charcoal felt a rush of energy, and the beast that Miao Yi usually had to force or coax into the power chamber, stepped foot inside of its own accord. With its rump held high, Charcoal made a couple snorts to the other horses that had to become the driving force, as a display of its status. It even twisted its butt at the others and flicked its tail around, before finally leaving, as though asking the others to work hard. Hou Sheng handled the rudder under Miao Yi’s instructions; as the ship headed out to sea, he immediately steered it towards the south-eastern direction. The dragon steeds all heeded their master's orders and obediently stood in a line beside the railing of the ship’s deck, facing the great ocean. Charcoal was the only one that was used to being extremely lax, occasionally falling in line, bumping its head on this, and hitting its rump on that; it even ran around on the deck. Its vigor was evident, only that it was a little plump. Everyone had already gotten accustomed to this Cave Master’s steed that lacked even the slightest ounce of discipline, and had often been left to run wild in East Arrival Cave. Many of East Arrival Cave’s plants and flowers had been destroyed by this beast. It even ran inside everyone’s cultivation residences where it continued on with its path of destruction, then laid on their flower gardens and slept. If it wasn’t Miao Yi’s steed, everyone would have thought of butchering this bastard long ago. A steed that didn’t behave in a steed’s manner, clearly the Cave Master was the one that spoilt it so. On the highest deck of the ship, everyone stood behind Miao Yi, facing the ocean as they rode the wind and broke through the waves. Wang Zifa and the rest threw a glance to Zheng Jinlong; he could only walk to Miao Yi’s side with much difficulty and ask once more, “Cave Master, what is it that we are supposed to do here?” Miao Yi slowly turned around, and smiled to the rest, “Doesn’t everyone still remember the fact that I have an alternate source for Orbs of Will? This Cave Master has not forgotten his promise, so this journey is obviously to share the rewards with everyone here!” The rest of their eyes immediately brightened, ‘Could it be that we were going to get some Orbs of Will?’ Then they listened on as Miao Yi added, “Because this matter is of grave importance, I was afraid that someone would leak out the information, which was why I didn’t tell any of you beforehand. I hope all of you will not blame me.” As he became used to being the ‘esteemed’ Cave Master, his tone when speaking with all of them had gradually become more suited to to the position of Cave Master. “Cave Master’s words are too serious!” “Cave Master is wise. This matter is indeed very important, so it was natural to do so!” “Cave Master can make all the decisions, we will simply heed your orders.” The rest of them couldn’t hold back their excitement as their eyes shone; one after another speaking words of flattery. Shang Youlai, Hou Sheng, Nan Sisi, and Wan Xiuqin were even more ecstatic. They had gone through a lot of pain these past two years. Originally, each of them could get two Orbs of Will every year, but then Zheng Jinlong popped out of nowhere, and the four of them could do naught but take turns readying three orbs every year to give to Senior Brother Zheng. They were told to wait until the Cave Master could compensate them for their share of Orbs of Will from his alternate source, but it had been so long and the Cave Master hadn’t so much as batted an eye at them. They didn’t dare speak their opinions out to the Cave Master or their Senior Brother, so they could only keep everything to themselves. They even thought that it was only a method used by the Cave Master in order to subjugate them previously, and in truth, that the so-called alternate source of Orbs of Will didn’t exist at all. Who knew that the Cave Master would be so appreciative this time around, and was really going to retrieve the Orbs of Will; it could certainly be said to be a pleasant surprise. They no longer looked at the Cave Master the same way. Miao Yi swept him a cold glare that stopped him, and said indifferently, “It seems you’re really interested in knowing the details first? You wouldn’t happen to be plotting something, would you?” “No! Nothing of the sort!” said Zheng Jinlong, anxiously waving his hand. He knew that he had broken a taboo, and didn’t dare continue his inquiry. Even if the rest of them had doubts, they knew that the Cave Master was sure to keep this sort of secret to himself, and wouldn’t easily reveal it; thus, no one bothered asking anymore, so long as they could get their Orbs of Will in due time. Among them Dan Biaoyi felt a little depressed, as he didn’t know that the Cave Master was bringing them out for this. He was supposed to be the ‘spy’ that Yang Qing had sent to East Arrival Cave, and needed to report on East Arrival Cave’s situation at regular intervals. It really was ‘too great’; with this sudden move by the Cave Master, he himself was already on the ocean and didn’t have the chance to pass this information out. After that everyone made some idle chatter, Miao Yi then decided to head downstairs after listening to a bout of empty platitudes, and proceeded to his own personal room; the largest personal room in the ship naturally belonged to him, the Cave Master. Day in and day out, they looked at the ocean during the day, and during the night they gazed at the black curtain of stars; the world seemed to feel boundless. With a dragon steed acting as the ship’s driving force, the ship continued to ride the winds and break through the waves of the ocean at a tremendous speed. Whereas Miao Yi spent the majority of his time in meditation and cultivated inside the cabin. The group of cultivators also didn’t fear the boring days drifting on the ocean, as they could simply use this time to cultivate. But a month later, the ship still showed no signs of reaching shore. With the dragon steeds powering the ship’s speed, this was very abnormal. Everyone slowly felt that something was off with the ship’s direction; this direction seemed to be headed towards the Yao Nation, and it especially seemed like it was headed towards the most chaotic place in the Yao Nation…. the Sea of Constellations! They were all no longer greenhorn cultivators, so they could vaguely guess where this ship was headed from the direction of its course, and faintly suspected that the Cave Master’s so-called source of Orbs of Will was to go hunting at the Sea of Constellations?

Actually Chen Weier and I already surveyed the entire island, there are no wild beasts here, if there were, I would have immediately rushed over to kill it, then barbeque it for food. To be honest, my action was just lying to myself, it was all for mental reassaurance. Not long after, I suddenly her the sounds of an engine, and it seems to be getting closer and closer! Could it be a ship? However I immediately denied this thought, the entire river was ice in winter, could a ship even sail! I immediately ran over to the entrance of the cave, the sounds came from overhead! I raised my head to look, it was actually a helicopter, flashing blue light in the sky. “Weier, come out! We might be saved!” I started dancing in excitement, then shouted, “Help——! There’s people on this island!” However I immediately realized that my shouting was futile, the people above definitely couldn’t hear. Yet at this time, the helicopter appeared directly above us, there’s eighty percent chance that it came looking for us! As expected, the helicopter came closer and closer, when it was several tens of meters above us, the door opened, and a person stuck their head out to shout, “Is there anyone down there? Answer if there is! We came to rescue you!” “Yes! Yes!” I quickly shouted. “Get us up there!” “We can’t land around here, so we’re going to throw down the ladder, come up their yourselves!” That person shouted. At the time, I was beyond excited! We were finally saved, and didn’t need to spend a lifetime on this damn island. “Fuck, why is it you!” Just as I got on the plane, I heard a voice yell at me. “Wu Tian!” I raised my head to look, the pilot of this helicopter was that Fatty Wu that tricked a meal from me the other day! However I feel like that meal was so worth it, I wouldn’t even hesitate if you told me to treat him to another one right now! “Liu Lei!” Fatty Wu also said with a face full of shock. “Damn, the person that went missing was you!”

The stronger maintained their position while the weaker were eliminated. Even the twelve proud children of heavens viewed as the strongest by the three largest betting companies began to face more difficulties after reaching this stage. They had to invest a great deal of effort and sweat to clear the next levels. Each successive one was a closely fought contest.\nTime continued to pass, and afternoon descended into dusk.\nThe people who had betted heavily were keeping a close watch on the latest rankings. At five in the morning the next day, the first person who crossed the sixty-fifth level was announced!\nYe Qing!\nIt was still Ye Qing from Chaotian Sect who was having the last laugh.\nStepping into the seventieth level didn't only test a person's combat strength. Their weapons and other tools, flux cultivation battle skills, secret techniques, and even the resources at their disposal were also tested.\nIf someone didn't have that, how could they dare to claim that they would certainly clear the seventieth level?\nIn the Flux Disciple Realm, the main thing tested was whether they had a firm and enormous foundation. Ye Qing was disdained by many, but behind him stood the mammoth named Chaotian Sect which had prepared for this event for a long time.\nThus, everyone suddenly discovered that in the last ten levels, Ye Qing seemed to be gradually distancing himself from the others.\nThe second person to step into the sixty-fifth level was late by a full hour compared to Ye Qing, reaching the target at six in the morning. But no one had expected this person.\nIt wasn't Xie Qianxue or Yan Xing, it was Zhongshan Anling.\nDang, the latecomer stands above! One stone creates a thousand ripples. All the spectators felt great regret. Northern Continent's fifth largest family, Zhongshan Clan, finally hammered the meaning of resources and power of a major clan into the mind of all the spectators.\nBut what shocked all of the spectators was that barely a few seconds later, Tower of Glory made another announcement. Xie Qianxue came after Zhongshan Anling and obtained the third position.\nEveryone exclaimed at this newcomer female fluxer's power. She was really worthy of being called a disciple of a battle sage. She was just too frightening.\nHowever, it wasn't over yet. Not even a minute had passed since Xie Qianxue reached the aim when the fourth person ascended past the sixty-fifth level—and it was Ling Shuang!\nIt was actually Ling Shuang!\nA person whom no one had expected. She was only half a minute late compared to Xie Qianxue and only a minute later than Zhongshan Anling.\nThese three people had surprisingly reached more or less at the same time. The difference between them was minimal, and the spectators were reminded the meaning of the words \"Battle Sage's Disciple\".\nXie Qianxue and Ling Shuang were both rookie fluxers, but they were barely slower than Zhongshan Anling.\nExtreme Devil Path sect's Yan Xing, one of the most popular candidates for winning this competition, came fifth. His outstanding name stood fourth among the most formidable Flux Disciples, but he had surprisingly been pushed this low.\nThe sixth person was Ren Sujun.\nThe seventh person was Devil. No one had expected him to reach this stage. It completely betrayed everyone's expectations. Although he was the second most formidable Halted Fluxer, he was inferior compared to the first rank Xiye Hanbei. Yet that didn't stop Devil from climbing up this high.\nThe eighth person was Tyrant Jiang. Apparently even if he'd had a fortuitous encounter, his foundation was inferior. He probably hadn't yet had enough time to solidify it into something better than his original one.\nAs for the ninth person, everyone kept waiting for them until nine in the morning. At that time, news came that Gongzi Nangong had retired at the sixty-fourth level, renouncing the competition.\nAfter leaving the tower, he was almost caught by his enemies, but he had been prepared and was able to escape to the Fifth Dimension. Reportedly he had used a life-saving treasure. All Halted Fluxers had many methods to save their lives, let alone Gongzi Nangong himself who was a famous one.\nThe spectators were in a commotion. The third most powerful Halted Fluxer had surprisingly been unable to reach the sixty-fifth level. From this, it could be clearly seen that the difficulty increased greatly with each successive level.\nAt ten in the morning, Qing Yue finally obtained the ninth rank. This youngest competitor, the holy daughter of seagod, who had been calmly competing without any eye-catching movements also ascended to the sixty-fifth level.\nIn a short while, many people looked into Qing Yue's origins and learned to their surprise that she was one of the seagod's two moons and Hai Yue's younger sister. Instantly, they understood that this proud daughter of heavens' reason for being part of this contest couldn't be simple.\nOnly nine of the twelve people reached the sixty-fifth level. The other three, including Gongzi Nangong, withdrew from the Tower of Glory after stopping at the sixty-fourth level.\nApparently all the formidable experts cherished their lives very much and had a clear understanding of their abilities. They hadn't let their fame get to their heads and lost their lives inside the tower.\nThe final ranking had already come out. Everyone in the six continents found that the atmosphere had become quite repressive because the moment of truth was just around the corner. And it was dealing with the most difficult levels of the tower.\n\"Chaotian Sect's preparations are perfect. Ye Qing is moving in the first place, leaving all the others behind in dust. Who could stop him?\"\n\"Yes, take a look at the odds on him. All the betting companies have adjusted the odds of him winning to the highest. Even if you bet on him now, there won't be much profit.\"\nSure enough, all people knew that Ye Qing possessed formidable resources and some trump card. Chaotian Sect had been preparing for a long time, so he would certainly be the first one to clear the seventieth level. No one could stop him.\nThe smile of victory on the faces of Chaotian Sect's members was becoming brighter with each passing instant.\nThe situation was in their favor. After today, Ye Qing's name would rock the six continents, and at the same time, after clearing the seventieth level, the final transcending sage treasure will also fall in his hands.\nAlthough the other continents could clearly see Chaotian Sect's wild ambitions, they had discovered them a little too late. The hastily arranged disciples without much preparation, how could they stop Ye Qing?\nAs time continued to pass and it was close to three in the afternoon, everyone calculated that Ye Qing was about to clear the seventieth level anytime now. However, at this moment, Tower of Glory suddenly announced three successive notifications to the six continents.\n\"Congratulations to Central Continent's Li Yunmu for clearing the seventieth level of Tower of Glory with a cultivation of golden crystal layer. You are bestowed with supreme glory in this world\" The notifications from the fluxer association's Tower of Glory vibrated the communication device of every Flux Disciple, and many people subconsciously thought that Ye Qing had finally won.\nThose who had betted on him at the start began to shout with excitement, what a fucking profit.\nHowever, after a moment, a thought struck them. Why had fluxer association sent them three notifications?\nIt was completely irrational. Each of the twelve people had a cultivation of rainbow crystal layer. Even if they cleared the seventieth level, at most there would be two notifications.\nSo why was the news repeated three times? Some people who had managed to calm down looked at the notification carefully, and their expressions became very strange!\nLi Yunmu, it was Li Yunmu. They looked again, and it was still Li Yunmu!\nThe name didn't change even after they checked the message for the third time. It still remained Li Yunmu! And not Ye Qing.\nInstantly, all the people who were paying close attention to the contest felt as if a formidable dimensional beast had trampled across their heart.\nThe first person to cross the seventieth level of Tower of Glory was surprisingly not Ye Qing, nor anyone else from the eleven others, but a complete outsider—Li Yunmu." } ]
第九十一章 登上了第六十层荣耀之塔后，真正的考验已经来了，强者恒强，弱者越弱，哪怕被三大搏彩公司视之为最有实力的十二天骄天女。 达到了六十层后，也越发艰难了起来，每通过一层，那都是付出了巨大努力与汗水，拉锯战，渐渐从傍晚到了深夜。 押了重注的人们，却仍牢牢盯紧着，最新出来的一波实情排位。 一直到了第二天凌晨五点的时候，终于，第一个闯上第六十五层的人，出来了！ 叶青！ 居然还是叶青，朝天宗的人，彻底笑了起来。 上登上七十层，可不只是考验个人战力的，圣兵、圣器、圣物，高等弦功战技、秘法，甚至还有诸多层次不穷的手段底蕴，都要综合起来了。 否则的话，何人敢大言不惭敢凭自身战力，勇闯七十层？ 弦者大阶层，考验的就是奠基的基古是否牢固与丰蕴，叶青，被很多人视之不屑，可是他的背后有朝天宗，而且具有准备多时依仗。 因此，众人突然发现，叶青到了最后十层，已经渐渐体现出一骑绝尘的姿态了。 第二位速度登上的六十五层者，足足比他慢了一个多小时，是清晨六时许，但这个人却出几乎了所有人意料。 不是叶千雪、也不是阎星，是仲孙安陵。 我去，后来居上！ 一石激起千层浪，众者纷纷大声懊悔，北极的仲孙五世大势族，终于告诉了众人，什么才叫底蕴与大势族的实力。 但是令人惊艳的却是，几乎没有落后几秒时间，荣耀之塔便再次公布了叶千雪，紧跟着仲孙安陵之后，成为第三位。 众人对于这个新晋女弦者，纷纷感叹，真不愧是战圣门徒，太可怕了。 然而这还未完，事隔叶千雪之后不到一分钟内，第五个登上六十五层的人出现了，凌霜！ 居然是凌霜！ 一个另众者完全想不到的人，她只比叶千雪慢了半分钟，比仲孙安陵同样也慢了一分钟。 这三者，居然差不多先后出现，这差距太微小了，同样，战圣门徒，再一次让众者意识到，什么才叫战圣门徒。 叶千雪、凌霜两人都是新晋弦者，但是她们都不比仲孙安陵慢了多少。 阎星才是第五名；极道宗的阎星，第一大热门，声名赫赫的弦者第四强，他居然沦落到了第五。 第六是任素君。 第七是鬼魔，没人会料到鬼魔能走到这里，完全出乎了所有人意外，虽然他是停界者的第二强，但第二强比起第一强的西野寒柏，差距太大了，可是鬼魔却挺上来了。 第八名是霸江，看来他即使有大奇遇，但是底子还是稍差，估计来不及时间消化。 众人等了又等，直到上午第九点，终于传来了信息，南宫公子止步于第六十四层，无力再上，放弃了与众者争峰，已出塔。 他一出塔，差点被仇敌堵上，最后还是有所准备，南宫公子最终逃回了五维界，说到保命逃生能力，停界者的准备手段太多了，更别说南宫公子是一个老牌停界者。 众人一阵哗然，停界者第三强人物，居然过不了第六十五层，何见到了这个程度，越上一层，又是何等艰难。 到了上午十时，青月成了第九名，这位年纪最轻、来自南洋大洲的海神女子，以一种很淡然无争之势，也登上六十五层。 一时间，许多人纷纷打听青月是何许来历，一打听才知道她竟然是海神人双月圣女之一，海月的亲妹妹，顿时感觉这一次天骄天女的争峰，真的没有一个简单。 至此之后，十二人，只有九人闯入了六十五层，其他三人，南宫公子等都退出了荣耀之塔，止步于第六十四层。 看得出来，这些强者高手，都非常惜命，也对自身的实力有很精准把握，没有为了名气把命丢在塔里。 最后一波排名已出，六大洲所有关注者，便发现气氛越来越压抑，因为最后的时刻到来了。 也是最难的一波登塔。 “朝天宗准备太足了，叶青已经一骑绝尘，谁能挡他？” “是啊，你看叶青的赔率，三大搏彩公司都调整到最低率了，现在就是押了也没多少钱获利。” 果然，时间一分一秒过去，所有人都知道叶青底蕴太足，朝天宗准备太长时间，第一登上七十层，啥他其谁。 朝天宗的胜利笑容，已越来越明显了。 势已成，叶青之名，从今天起，将会流传全球六洲，与此同时，登上荣耀之塔第七层，最后一件至尊圣器已是板上钉眼。 虽然其他各大洲，在最后时刻洞察了朝天宗的雄雄野心，可是他们终究都是发现的太迟，匆匆忙忙给予门人弟子准备，又怎能狙击的了叶青。 随时时间流逝，越来越接近下午三时，所有人算算时间，叶青应该接近登上七十层了。 可就在这个时候，荣耀之塔却突然向全球六大洲，一连公布出了三道信息。 “恭喜中洲李云牧，以金晶弦者修为，荣登荣耀之塔七十层成功，无上荣耀宣告天下……”一连三道来自弦者总会的荣耀之塔宣告，基本在每个弦者的通讯器震动，很多人下意识以为叶青，终于争夺了第一。 最早重押了叶青的投机者，纷纷兴奋的大吼大叫，你妹的，赚翻了。 可是仔细一看，为什么是弦者总会连发三条信息？ 没理由啊，十二人现在的修为，都已经迈入了虹晶级，他们即使闯上了第七十层，最多也只有两条全球宣告此无上荣耀。 但现在为什么连续宣告了三次？ 有些人回过神来一看，顿时脸上很古怪，相当之古怪！ 李云牧，居然是李云牧，再看还是李云牧！ ？ 重要的事情，看了三遍，原来是李云牧！ 而不是叶青。 “我去。” 瞬时间，所有关注这场狙击争峰登塔大战的众者，心头仿佛被一万头神兽草过了一遍。 最先登上七十层荣耀之塔的，竟然不是叶青，也不是十二天骄天女任何一个，而是一个局外人，李云牧！

The nausea and dizziness had also reduced.\n“Please sit down, let me take a close look,” Wang Yao said.\nFang Yi was apparently getting better. The two decoctions he gave Fang Yi had worked. One decoction was to consolidate and enhance her vitality. The other was to cool her body and drive the toxins out of it. The red dots on her arms were also fading.\n“You need to continue to take the decoctions I gave you,” Wang Yao said.\n“Look, Dr. Wang, my daughter is in the last year of high school. She’s very behind with her study due to her illness. She wants to continue to go to school. What do you think? Do you think she is fit enough to go to school now?” Fang Zhengyuan asked.\nHe was glad that his daughter had the motivation to go to school. However, he was worried that she couldn’t handle the pressure from study due to her illness. He and his wife would rather Fang Yi give up study and go nowhere as long as she was healthy.\nShe’s in the last year of high school.\nWang Yao was figuring out what he should do.\nHe had been there, so he knew how stressful and tiring it was during high school years. Parent’s expectation, the stress caused by university entry exam, and the uncertainty of one’s future had a big impact on a student’s well-being. The last year of high school was the most stressful time for a student. One needed confidence and good health to survive it.\nWang Yao didn’t think Fang Yi was fit enough to handle the stress that went with the last year of high school.\n“Given her current health status, I don’t think it is a good idea to go back to school. She won’t be able to handle the stress of study, especially since she’s in the last year of high school.” Wang Yao told Fang Zhengyuang what was on his mind. Fang Yi’s health should be the priority.\n“I see.” Fang Yi sounded a bit disappointed.\n“The first term has just started. Try to get better first, then see if you can go back to school later on. Worst case scenario, you can go back to school next year,” Wang Yao said.\nFang Yi didn’t respond. Wang Yao’s words didn’t lift her mood.\n“Thank you for your advice, Dr. Wang. We are almost running out of the decoctions you gave me last time. Can you please…” Fang Zhengyuan said.\n“I’ll give you another dose,” Wang Yao replied.\nFang Zhengyuan left after Wang Yao had given them the decoction.\nThey came in a hurry and left in a hurry.\nWhat a family! Wang Yao shook his head.\n“Dad, I want to go back to school,” Fang Yi said to her parents after she left the clinic.\n“You heard what Dr. Wang said. You are not fit enough to go back to school. What if your condition gets worse?” Fang Zhengyuan worriedly asked.\n“But, I don’t want to delay one year,” Fang Yi said.\nShe was always a good student and one of the top 10 students in her year. However, she hadn’t been to school for half a year due to her illness.\n“Can you ask Dr. Wang to see if he has a way to make me get better sooner?” Fang Yi asked.\nFang Zhengyuan breathed a sigh as he looked at his daughter. He then turned around in the rain.\nMeanwhile, Wang Yao was ready to leave the clinic and go back to Nanshan Hill.\nWhat’s going on?\nHe was confused to see Fang Zhengyuan coming back to the clinic.\n“Well, Dr. Wang, do you have any ways to make my daughter get better sooner?” Fang Zhengyuan asked.\n“She still wants to go back to school?” Wang Yao questioned.\n“Yes, I don’t want delay school for a year. All the other classmates will start to study in the university next year, while I will still be in high school. It will be a torture to me,” Fang Yi said.\nShe looked so young. Her eyes were full of hope.\n“Let me think about it,” Wang Yao said.\nHe could make Fang Yi get better sooner, but it would cost a lot.\nHe could use licorice roots to treat her. Apparently licorice roots worked much better than common herbs. However, he didn’t have any enough bonus points to purchase more licorice roots. The Muscle Revitalizing powder and Meridian Unblocking powder had cost all his bonus points. The only possible option was if he could get a large amount of wild herbs like the ones Chen Boyuan gave him to exchange for more bonus points.\n“Have you spent a lot of money on her illness?” Wang Yao asked.\n“Well, finish the decoction I gave you today and give me some time to think about it,” Wang Yao said.\n“Okay, thank you very much,” Fang Zhengyuan said.\nFang Yi breathed a big sigh as she walked out of the clinic.\nShe was tired of staying home. She wanted to go back to school to be with her friends. More importantly, she wanted to go to university as soon as she could.\n“System, will you be able to make an exception for someone who really needs the licorice roots?’ Wang Yao said.\nGrow the licorice roots yourself!\n“Shit!” Wang Yao rarely cursed.\nWell, I shall grow the licorice roots myself!\nAt this stage, the system had unlocked all 36 low quality licorice roots, but even the seeds of licorice roots required bonus points. The bonus points equaled money.\nHe had to gradually save bonus points. It was the only thing he could do at the moment given his previous experience. …\nIt started to get late. Something was happening in a household in Lianshan.\nA couple were in a cold war for over a month.\nChen Wei was distressed. As a man at his prime of life, he felt depressed to have this unspeakable condition suddenly.\nHe had taken Wang Yao’s decoction twice but didn’t feel it worked.\nMaybe I should go to the provincial hospital, Chen Wei thought.\nHe had been to the hospitals in Dao and Wei, but none of the doctors there could cure him.\nBang! It was his wife closing the door.\nHe felt aggrieved. He walked back and forth in the empty room without any purpose. Eventually, he took out his phone to call his friend.\n“Jun, are you on duty? If not, come out and drink with me,” Chen Wei said.\nThey went to a nice barbecue restaurant.\nChen Wei drank three bottle of beers in 10 minutes.\n“What is going on?” Pan Jun asked.\n“Same thing, drink!” Chen Wei said.\nThump! Chen Wei opened another bottle.\n“Has Dr. Wang given you any decoctions?” Pan Jun asked.\n“Yes, I’ve taken it twice already, but it didn’t work,” Chen Wei replied.\nPlump! Plump! Chen Wei drank another bottle of beer.\n“Stop drinking!” Pan Jun took the bottle out of Chen Wei’s hand.\n“You haven’t finished one because of the decoction. How do you know it’s not gonna work? Plus, you are not allowed to drink during the treatment. I guess you didn’t follow Dr. Wang’s advice on alcohol at all,” Pan Jun said.\nGrrr!\nChen Wei burped and didn’t know what to say.\nPan Jun was right that he had been drinking a lot lately, not only outside but also at home. It was no wonder he had been drinking. His wife always made a face at him.\n“If you still treat me as a friend, you should listen to me. Stop drinking and take another dose of the decoction. If it still doesn’t work, you could seek alternative solutions. However, I have to tell you the truth. Dr. Wang is an extraordinary doctor who won’t just see any patient,” Pan Jun said.\nChen Wei stared at the half-filled bottle for a long while. …\nGood!\nWang Yao was looking at the system control panel in his clinic.\nNine days. He had nine days left. His mission of “getting his name out” was halfway finished.\nThere will be a problem!\nPreviously, Wang Yao only saw patients introduced by his friends. However, Fang Yi was not one of those patients. He would probably have more patients than he wanted in the future.\nLet me take a walk outside. It was sunny the next morning.\nWang Yao was going to brew another Meridian unblocking powder. He needed to increase the quantity as both Zhou Wukang and Chen Boyuan’s father-in-law required it.\nMeanwhile, road work had started from the town center to the village. The road was going to be widened, so the narrow road became even narrower.\n“Road work?” Wang Yao heard it from Zhang Xiuying while having lunch.\n“Yes, they’ve started in order to build a hot spring in the village behind ours,” Zhang Xiuying said.\n“It’s a good thing to widen the road,” Wang Yao said as he smiled.\nWang Yao laughed.\nAfter lunch, he went to visit Li Maoshuang in the town center.\n“Wild herbs? That’s a lot of wild herbs you are asking for,” Li Maoshuang said.\nHe was surprised to see the amount of herbs on Wang Yao’s list.\n“Yes, can you please get them for me?” Wang Yao asked.\n“Sure, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can,” Li Maoshuang said." } ]
第三二四章 “对不起王医生，让你久等了。” 一见面他们便先道歉。 说话的时候，他先用“望诊”之法看了一下方怡，发现对方的精神好了一些，脖颈出的红点仍旧在，但是细看起来是有变淡的迹象的。 “感觉怎么样？” “感觉好些了。” 方怡轻声道。 连续的用药，她感觉身体的确是好了一些，最起码是有力气了，而且那种恶心眩晕的感觉也有所减缓。 “来，我再给你细看看。” 而后，王耀以号脉的方式为她仔细的诊断了一下。 病情有好转，他配制的两副药的都起了作用，一者固本培元，一者清热祛毒。 胳膊上的红疹也在消减。 “还要继续用药。” “哎。” “您看王医生，是这么一回事，我女儿她几年上高三了，因为这病已经落下了不少的课程，她想继续上学校学习，您看怎么样，以她现在的身体状况能够承受的住吗？” 方正远问道。 女儿想上学，做父母的应该高兴才对，但是自己女儿的身体状况确实方正远夫妇最担心的事情，他们现在宁愿自己的女儿哪里都不去，甚至是连学业也可以放弃，只要能够健康。 上学，高三？ 王耀听后沉思了一会。 他是从高中大学走过来的，学生上学什么阶段最累、压力最大，无疑是在高中阶段，父母家人的期盼，升学的压力，年轻的迷茫，一系列的问题，在这其中，高三阶段的压力更大，这个时候靠的是信心、比的是身体。 说句实在话，王耀并不认为方怡现在这样虚弱的身体能够承受住高三紧张的学习生活。 “以她现在的身体情况是无法承受住太过紧张劳累的学习生活的，特别是高三。” 出于对病人健康方面的考虑，王耀还是实话实说。 方怡听后情绪有些低落。 “这才是高三的上学期，你可以先把身体养好，然后使劲冲刺一下，实在不行复读一年。” 方怡听后显得情绪不太高。 “谢谢您医生，上次拿的药快要用完了，你看？” 方正远急忙问道。 “我再给配一个疗程的。” 王耀配好药之后，一家人便离开了。 他们来的匆匆，去也匆匆。 “这一家人。” 王耀摇了摇头。 “爸，我想去上学。” 从医馆出来之后，方怡对自己父母道。 “刚才王医生的话你也听到了，你现在的身体还没有治好，不能上学，如果出了问题怎么办？” “可是我不想再耽误一年。” 方怡道。 她本来的学习成绩是很好的，在级部都能够排进前十名的，但是因为这一场病，都已经休学半年了。 “能在求求王医生吗，问问他是不是有更好的办法？” 看着女儿的目光，方正远他叹了口气，然后在雨中转身。 其时，王耀刚刚准备出来，上南山。 “怎么回事？” 见到去而复返的一家人，他有些疑惑。 “王医生，您这有没有办法能够让我女儿的病好的更快些？” 方正远问道。 “还是想去上学？” “是啊，我不想再耽误一年了，同学都去上大学了，我还在上高中，那也是一种煎熬。” 方怡道。 看这个而这个姑娘年轻的面庞，眼睛之中希冀的目光。 “我再想想。” 方法是有，但是费用也高。 治疗这个疾病可以使用“灵草”为药，那样的效果无疑会更好，只是他现在有心无力，一副“生肌散”，一副“通络散”已经耗尽了他的库存，除非此时再像陈博远那样给他提供大量的野生药材，通过系统进行兑换。 “你们为了治疗她的病花费了不少了吧？” “是的，医生，钱我们可以想办法的。” 方正远听出了王耀话里的意思，急忙道。 哎，方怡在出医馆的时候叹了口气。 她在家里呆的时间够长了，她想回学校，想见见自己的同学和朋友，重要的是，她更想尽快的圆自己的大学梦。 “系统，对于确实需要灵草帮助的人有没有通融的可能？” “自己种喽！” 靠！ 王耀难得爆一句粗口。 这个尿性！ 那就自己种！ 到现在位置，系统已经为他解锁了下品三十六种草药的全部，但是灵草的种子也是需要兑换点的。 钱啊！ 积少成多，以往要现在的情况，而已只能从这个方面想办法了。 夜里，连山县城某处家中。 一对夫妻已经冷战了一个多月。 陈伟很苦恼，一个男人，一个正值壮年的男人，突然间患了难以启齿的疾病，这让他觉得生活很灰暗。 王耀的药他已经服用了两次，但是仍旧没有感觉到明显的效果。 “不行就到省城去看看吧！” 为了治疗这个病，他这两个月来去过岛城、潍城等地方，效果都不好。 咣当，妻子摔门的声音。 陈伟在这空荡荡的房间里来回踱步，没有任何目的的走着，最后拿出了手机，给朋友打了个电话。 “军子，值班吗，出来喝酒！” 一家味道不错的烧烤店。 不过十分钟的时间，陈伟已经喝了三瓶啤酒。 “又怎么了？” “还是那事呗，喝酒。” 嘭，又开了一瓶。 “王医生给你开的药用了没？” “别提了，用了两次，但是根本没效果。” 咕咚、咕咚，陈伟仰头又喝了一瓶啤酒。 “别喝了！” 潘军一把把酒瓶子夺了过来。 “你这个一个疗程的药都没用完怎么知道没用，还有，服药期间是禁酒的，你没少喝酒吧？” 嗝！ 陈伟打了一个酒嗝，微微一怔。 潘军说的对，这几天他没少喝酒，在家里也和，如果你媳妇天天摆着张臭脸给你看，估计你也会喝闷酒的。 “你要是还拿我当朋友就听我的，把酒戒了，再服用一个疗程的药，如果没有效果，再想其它的办法，我是实话告诉你，那位王医生的医术相当了得，一般人请都未必请的动他！” 陈伟听后盯着已经空了一半的酒瓶子，上了好一会的神。 好！ 医馆里，王耀盯着系统面板。 九天，还剩九天的时间，他那个特殊“声传百里”的任务之外成了一半。 麻烦！ 前一段时间来的病人只是通过几个朋友的介绍，像是方怡那样的情况都算是特殊的，这样一来，来的人肯定要少的多。 “出去转转？” 第二天，清晨，阳光灿烂。 王耀准备熬制另外的一副药剂“通络散”。 这服药要适当的加量，因为周武康和陈博远的岳父都要用着药物来治病。 与此同时，从镇上通往山村的路开始破土动工，进行扩宽处理。 这样一来，本来就狭窄的路就更窄了，更难走。 中午吃饭的时候，王耀从母亲那里听到了这件事情。 “对，已经开始修了，为了开发后村的温泉。” “修路是好事啊！” 王耀笑着道。 吃过午饭之后，王耀去了一趟县城，找了李茂双。 “野生药材，你要这么多？” 看着王耀罗列出来的清单，他颇有些吃惊，数量有些大。 “嗯，麻烦你给想想办法？” “行，我尽快给你回话。”
Chapter 324 - Plant It Yourself “Sorry for keeping you waiting Dr. Wang,” Fang Zhengyuan apologized as soon as he saw Wang Yao. “That’s alright,” Wang Yao said. While he was speaking, he briefly looked at Fang Yi and found that she looked better. The red dots on her neck were still there, but they seemed to be fading. “How have you been feeling?” Wang Yao asked. “I’ve been feeling better,” Fang Yi replied softly.

She was not used reporting things to others.\nToday, Xiao Tianyao was very upset!\nLin Chujiu, that woman, has no consciousness of a wife.\nJust like last night, Xiao Tianyao went to Lin Chujiu’s room early, but he was a little late compared to last night. When he came, Lin Chujiu’s hair was already dry.\nWhen Xiao Tianyao entered the room, Lin Chujiu was sitting on the bed and reading a book. Seeing Xiao Tianyao came inside, Lin Chujiu looked up and said: “You’re back.”\nAfter she finished, she continued to look at the book.\nShe likes Xiao Tianyao, but she doesn’t want to lose herself. Those things happened in the carriage because the atmosphere was too good. However, if Xiao Tianyao no longer wanted to continue teasing her, she still wanted to be rational.\nThe medical book in Lin Chujiu’s hand was not famous. It was a general medical book that can be bought in any bookstore. But, it can give her fundamental knowledge.\nXiao Tianyao didn’t pay attention to Lin Chujiu’s indifferent attitude, he only walked towards her gracefully. Then, he said with a soft and slow tone: “Chujiu, you went outside, don’t you have anything to say to benwang?”\nXiao Tianyao’s tall figure instantly covered the light, Lin Chujiu couldn’t continue reading the book. So, she had to put it down and asked in puzzlement: “What do you want me to say?”\nHis tone was very gentle, his breathing pattern was normal, but why does she felt like Xiao Tianyao was angry?\nWhat did she do to irritate him?\n“Meng Family’s business, you don’t need to talk about it to benwang?” Seeing Lin Chujiu’s questionable face, he knew that Lin Chujiu didn’t realize what she had done wrong.\nSure enough, she’s stupid.\n“Didn’t you know everything about Meng Family?” Lin Chujiu doesn’t think that Xiao Tianyao will let her go out alone. He will definitely send someone to monitor her. After all, she and Xiao Tianyao lived in the same roof.\nXiao Tianyao sat down beside Lin Chujiu and said. “Benwang wants to hear it from you.”\n“As you already know, I can cure Meng Gongzi’s illness, but Meng Family is still considering it.” Lin Chujiu moved to the side, to give Xiao Tianyao a bigger space.\n“Mmm,” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head, there was no trace of anger in his face, which made Lin Chujiu very puzzled.\nXiao Tianyao didn’t move closer, he only stretched out his hand and caress Lin Chujiu’s head: “Chujiu, remember, you are benwang’s wife.”\nHis tone was soft and slow like earlier, but there was a dangerous atmosphere accompanied to it. Lin Chujiu unconsciously moved back: “I always remember.”\nIf she was not destined to become Xiao Wangfei, she and Xiao Tianyao will never meet in this lifetime.\nXiao Tianyao was a very dangerous man, it’s better to stay far away from him. However, she was his wife, she can’t hide from him. She can’t even escape his occasional gentleness.\n“Good.” Xiao Tianyao said, as his hand moved toward her cheek up to her neck: “In the future, don’t do things that can make benwang unhappy.”\nLin Chujiu took a glance on the hand that was stuck on her neck. She finally understood why Xiao Tianyao was acting abnormally.\nIs he jealous?\nLin Chujiu lowered her head, to prevent Xiao Tianyao seeing the smile on her eyes. She also didn’t give him an answer.\nIf she wanted to continue to be a doctor, she inevitably will deal with patients. That’s why she can’t give Xiao Tianyao a positive answer. However, in Xiao Tianyao’s eyes, her silence means she agreed. As a reward, Xiao Tianyao made a promised: “How obedient, benwang will give you everything you want.”\n* The news that the Meng family refused Divine Doctor Mo’s visit was received by the emperor. The emperor looked at the report in his hand: “He can’t even do a simple thing, then what is the use of him?”\nThe spy leader kept kneeling on the floor, he didn’t dare to say even a single word. However, the emperor didn’t let him slide, he sharply asked: “Where are the people of the Ci Entang that attacked Lin Chujiu? Did you find them?” Lin Chujiu’s medical talent was good. However, this advantage also became a disadvantage to her.\n“No.” The spy leader’s breathing increased. He has been failing his mission recently. He always failed to do a good job.\n“Waste.” The emperor was really dissatisfied, but he still pressed his anger and asked: “What about the people behind the Ci Entang? Have you found a new clue?”\nThe spy leader shook his head and kowtowed: “All the involved people in the Ci Entang has died. All the involved officials also committed suicide. All the clues were broken.” They also wanted to check, but they couldn’t find any.\n“The clues were broken? Can you say those words to the citizens?” The front line army was in an unfavorable situation, the citizens were very uneasy. But recently, another turmoil starts, the emperor was very annoyed in this.\n“This subordinate ask the emperor’s forgiveness.” The spy leader was full of sweat, but he didn’t dare to move.\n“You deserve to die,” Iif it wasn’t for his loyalty and skill, the emperor would really kill him.\n“For your loyalty, zhen will give you another chance. You have to check how much Xiao Wangye cares about Xiao Wangfei. If you failed again, you don’t need to come and see zhen.”\nHe would like to see what Xiao Tianyao will do for Lin Chujiu. Additionally, without Lin Chujiu, can Meng Family still reject Divine Doctor Mo?\n“Thank you huangshang for your grace, this subordinate will certainly complete this task.” The spy leader escaped from his death, so he was secretly relieved. As for Xiao Wangfei?" } ]
墨神医可以肯定孟家父子是故意的，可那又如何？ 孟家父子要是在意墨神医高不高兴，就不会做得这么直接。 要不露痕迹的婉拒一个人，方法多得是，可孟家父子明显不愿意为墨神医费那个神。 面对孟家父近乎直白拒绝，墨神医脸上的笑容有片刻的僵硬，知道再说下去只会让自己难堪，墨神医实趣的离开，只是心有不甘。 如果是别人抢走孟修远这个病人，墨神医还不会这么生气，毕竟他也没少从别人手中抢病人，可偏偏是林初九。 这已经不是第一次了！ 萧王，安王，现在又是孟修远，他今年最重要的三个病人，全部被林初九抢走了，而且每次被林初九抢走一个病人，他的境遇就要惨上三分。 孟修远这个病人对他来说，真得太重要了，墨神医已经不敢去想，林初九要是医好了孟修远的病，他会有什么下场？ “应该不会太好。” 慈恩堂的事墨神医知道了，而他确实无法解释，他这些年买那么多孤儿做什么。 难道真要栽在一群跳梁小丑的手？ 墨神医真得不甘心，可身陷囚牢的他还能做什么？ 林初九从孟家回来后并没有见萧天耀，也没有和萧天耀说孟家的事，林初九一个人生活惯了，哪怕萧天耀强势介入她的生活，她仍旧不习惯什么事都告诉别人。 今天，萧天耀很不高兴！ 林初九那个女人，完全没有身为人qi的自觉。 和昨晚一样，萧天耀提前回房，不过比昨晚稍晚，他过来时，林初九的头发已经干了。 萧天耀回来时，林初九正坐在床头看书，见萧天耀进来只抬头打了声招呼：“回来了。” 说完，又继续看手上的书。 她是喜欢萧天耀，可还没有喜欢到失去自我的地步。 那天在马车里发生的一切，只能说气氛太美好，如果萧天耀不再继续逗她，她还是能保持理智的。 林初九看得是一本医书，不是什么名著，是书局就能买到的普通医书，正好可以给她打基础。 萧天耀并不在意林初九的冷淡，优雅地走到林初九面前，语气轻柔而缓慢的说道：“初九，你出去一趟，没有什么要跟本王说的吗？” 萧天耀高大的身影，瞬间将光线遮住，林初九根本没法看书，只得将书放下，不解地问道：“要说什么？” 声音很温和，气息很平稳，可她怎么觉得萧天耀在生气？ 她做了什么惹人生气的事吗？ 一看林初九无辜懵懂的样子，萧天耀就知道，林初九完全没有意识到自己犯了什么错。 果然很笨。 “孟家的事，你不是都知道吗？” 林初九可不认为，萧天耀会放任她一个人出门，她身边没有监视者，她就跟萧天耀姓了。 萧天耀挨着林初九坐下，“本王想听你说。” “和你知道的差不多，孟公子的病我能医，不过孟家还在考虑，他们认为切开喉咙很冒险。” 林初九往里挪了挪，给萧天耀空出更大的位置。 “嗯，”萧天耀点了点头，看不出喜怒。 林初九一脸疑惑，不明白萧天耀到底是什么意思。 萧天耀并没有为她解惑的答应，伸手，在她头顶揉了揉，“初九，记住，你是本王认可的妻子。” 声音一如既往的缓慢而有磁性，可这话却透着一股危险的味道，林初九不自觉地后退一步，“我一直记得。” 要不是有萧王妃这个身份，她和萧天耀一辈子都不会有交集。 萧天耀这种男人太危险，她遇到这样的男人只会做一件事，那就是远远地躲开。 可偏偏她是萧天耀的妻子，她躲不开，甚至因萧天耀偶尔的温柔而沉沦。 “记得就好，”萧天耀伸手覆在林初九的脸颊上，顺着她的脸颊，落在她的脖子上，“以后，别再做让本王不高兴的事。” 垂眸，看了一眼卡在她脖子上的手，林初九终于明白萧天耀为什么不正常了。 这是吃醋吗？ 林初九低头，不让萧天耀看到自己的眼中的笑意，也没回答萧天耀的话。 如果她要继续从医，就免不了与病人打交道，她无法给萧天耀肯定的答复，可是林初九的沉默，在萧天耀眼中就是同意，作为奖励，萧天耀许诺道：“乖乖听话，本王会给你想要的一切。” 孟家拒绝墨神医的消息，第一时间呈到皇上的案前，皇上看着手中薄薄的纸，很是不满，“一点小事也办不好，朕留他何用。” 密探头子跪在殿前，一句话也不敢说，可就是如此皇上也没有放过他，厉声问道：“林初九师从何人，可查出来了？” 林初九会医是个极大的变数，因为这个变数，他所有的优势都化为劣势。 密探头子连呼吸都加重了。 他最近真正是流年不利，已经很好几件事没有办好。 “废物。” 皇上果然不满，可仍旧压着怒气，又问：“慈恩堂的事呢？ 别告诉朕，一点头绪也没有？” 密探头子哆嗦了一下，匍匐在地，“慈恩堂相关人员全部横死，参与的官员也一一自杀，所有的线索都断了。” 他们也想查，可根本查不下去。 朕能用这句话去平息百姓的不满吗？” 前线战事不利，国内动荡不安，最近就没有一见顺心事，皇上越发的烦躁。 “属下该死，求皇上恕罪。” 密探头子全身汗湿，却一动不敢动。 “你确实该死，”要不是这人一向忠心，又确实有能力，皇上真得会杀了他。 “看在你忠心耿耿的份上，朕给你一次将功赎罪的机会，你去试一试萧王有多在意他的王妃。 这次的事情要是没有办好，你就不用来见朕。” 他倒要看看为了林初九，萧天耀能做到哪一步？ 而没有林初九，孟家还能坚定的拒绝墨神医吗？ “谢皇上不杀之恩，属下一定会办妥此事。” 密探头子死里逃生，暗自松了口气，至于萧王妃？
Divine Doctor Mo was sure that the Meng father and son was deliberately doing this, but what about it? Meng father and son were not happy to see Divine Doctor Mo, but they didn’t directly speak of it. To deny a person’s intention, there were many ways to do it unnoticeable. However, the Meng father and son obviously not willing to accept Divine Doctor Mo’s offering of help. In the face of Meng Daren’s almost straightforward refusal, Divine Doctor Mo’s smile became stiff. He knew he will only embarrass himself if he continues, but his heart was very unwilling to leave. If someone else snatched his patient, Meng Xiuyuan. Divine Doctor Mo will not be so angry. After all, it’s not his style to robbed the patient’s of others, but it was Lin Chujiu. This was not the first time! Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Zian, and now it’s Meng Xiuyuan. These three important patients were all robbed by Lin Chujiu. And each time she will rob his patient, he ended up in a miserable situation. This time, Meng Xiuyuan was very important for him. Divine Doctor Mo couldn’t imagine, if Lin Chujiu successfully healed Meng Xiuyuan, what will happen to him? “It wouldn’t be too good.” People knew that he bought so many abandoned children in the Ci Entang, but he couldn’t explain himself. Does he really want to fell down together with those buffoons? Divine Doctor Mo was really reluctant, but what can he do in the prison? Divine Doctor Mo heavily sighed and left with a slightly bent back… … * Lin Chujiu didn’t go to see, nor speak to Xiao Tianyao when she returned to the Xiao Wangfu.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 再次被天极宙光困住，梁盘神色沉静：“可惜，太皇宫始终未能恢复巅峰状态。”\n他立于皇宫金銮大殿内，周身上下开始弥漫出道道紫色气流，皇者之风尽显，紫气之中，隐隐有一个威严霸道，如同天地主宰般的人影浮现，统御八荒六合，君临天下。\n梁盘身上传承自太皇的君临紫气一现，太皇宫的气势顿时再次高涨，围绕宫殿的紫金光芒，越来越浓郁。\n一个庞大无比的紫色人影，隐约在太皇宫上空出现，面目威严，宛如昔年太皇重生。\n庞大的力量震撼着一方天地，皇极开天法所成的混沌气团，这一下彻底裂开。\n一个气团分裂成两半，每一半又渐渐重新凝结成一个稍小一些的完整气团。\n这个瞬息之间发生的过程，就仿佛重现了当年太古纪元末年，大千世界分裂为神州浩土和天荒广陆的那一幕场景。\n无穷灵气溃灭，庞大的空间界域直接被撕裂。\n梁盘通过太皇宫，将皇极开天法的力量催动到了极致，瀛海空间都剧烈震荡起来。\n虚空不停碎裂，透过碎裂的空间缝隙，林锋和石羽甚至可以看见一丝黑暗星空宇宙。\n太皇宫的皇极开天法，直接将瀛海世界的空间界域，真的撕出一道巨大裂缝。\n可惜，冲开玉京山的天极宙光，眼前还有石羽和不朽龙城拦路。\n如同横亘诸天的无尽长城，不朽龙城向着太皇宫压了下来。\n而林锋也催动玉京山再次上前。 与不朽龙城前后夹击太皇宫。\n不过就在这个时候，林锋、梁盘、石羽三人突然心中微动，眼角余光都向着远方海域望去。\n视线所及之处，没有什么值得注意的东西。\n但林锋等人，分明感到方才有一声蝉鸣在他们耳边响起！\n林锋瞳孔微微一缩，目光穿过遥远距离，就见蔚蓝的大海中，海水里一片蝉蜕随着浪花起起伏伏。\n那蝉蜕看起来就跟一片树叶似的，寻常人就算站在跟前。 都未必能发现，但以林锋的目光，自然看得一清二楚。\n蝉蜕上泛起淡淡金光，下一刻，金光中浮现出一个灰衣少年僧侣，正是金蝉子。 冲着林锋合十一笑：“林宗主着实让贫僧大开眼界。\n“贫僧虽然也准备了些安排，但无法像林宗主一样确定传送地点，让诸位道友见笑了。”\n“好不容易赶回来瀛海，却是离这边比较近，想来蓬莱仙山那边该已尘埃落定，于是便索性赶到这边来了，失礼之处，请勿见怪。”\n他话说得客气，动作可一点都不慢，一步跨出。 直接就要登上瀛洲仙山。\n末法之境的强者，强大之处并不单单体现在力量上，诸多诡异手段，也是层出不穷，便是林锋也微微感到意外，想不到被自己阴了一招送去天荒广陆的金蝉子，竟然比同在瀛海中的朱洪武来得更快。\n想来此人也有穿越界域的神通手段，甚至有比较粗略的定位传送能力，这才能这么快就赶回瀛海，只不过如他所说，传送的地点离瀛海南部比较远，离东北部的瀛洲仙山反而比较近。\n金蝉子刚一回瀛海，便也感到瀛海南部那边巨大幻海迷潮的动静，知道蓬莱仙山彻底没了指望，于是索性赶来瀛洲仙山这边。\n他对于解救梁盘，没有任何兴趣，目标直指瀛洲仙山。\n在林锋的战神分身尚没有炼化瀛洲仙山以前，一旦让金蝉子上了山，没有人可以阻挡，朱易初步掌握白玉柱，可以压服其他人，但面对金蝉子却全无用武之地。\n林锋目光平和：“大师去而复返，一路上想必辛苦了，先歇歇脚吧。”\n一边说着，玉京山光辉猛然闪动，天极宙光便向着金蝉子落了下去，要将金蝉子罩住。\n金蝉子抬眼看向林锋，轻声说道：“尚不曾请教过，林宗主你可以接几次末法浩劫？”\n说话间，天地间蝉鸣声大作，一头巨蝉的光影在金蝉子头顶虚空显露，巨蝉身上突然一道晦暗黑气，化作笔直黑线，向着林锋和玉京山射去！\n天人五衰，末法浩劫！\n为了防止再次被林锋的破界石移走，金蝉子这次干脆任何神通都不再使用，见面就是一道末法浩劫攻向林锋，不为威力大小，只为能确定命中目标。\n黑气过处，便是天极宙光都开始不停腐朽，衰竭，溃灭。\n世间万物，在时光的侵蚀之下，都将走向衰老灭亡，所差别者，不过是速度快慢而已。\n但当世界走到尽头，迎来寂灭，万物归于虚无，便连时光也不复存在，一切等待下一方造化初开，重头来过。\n没了林锋和玉京山的牵制，梁盘独战石羽，太皇宫上空紫金光辉突然尽数转变为紫色。\n高大的太皇英灵光影身上，浮现出大量意义不明，古老神秘的符纹。\n石羽见状，微微蹙眉：“竭泽而渔，不怕太皇宫直接散架吗？” 话是这么说，不过如果换了他在梁盘的位置，肯定也会做相同选择。\n不朽龙城上光芒闪动，仿佛无尽时光长河的躯体上，突然闪动九个光点，七明两暗。\n瀛海上方天幕洞开一道虚幻的裂缝，露出宇宙群星，其中九曜星辰一起闪烁，磅礴巨力向着不朽龙城加持。\n不朽龙城被震退。 而太皇宫上方，太皇英灵光影，差点碎灭。\n趁着这个机会，太皇宫化作一道紫光，飞速向着远方遁走。\n不朽龙城紧紧跟上，不给对方任何喘息的机会。\n另一边瀛洲仙山上空，林锋坐在玉京山上面色不改：“大师又能承受几次末法浩劫？”\n说着。 玉京山顶玄天宝树的枝叶剧烈摆动摇曳起来，甚至有大量枝叶从树干上脱落！\n这些碧绿枝叶在半空中化作一道道七彩光芒，在玉京山周围环绕，将整个玉京山卷入虚空之中。\n金蝉子的末法浩劫，直接落到空处！\n“嗯？” 金蝉子脸上露出意外之色，看向玉京山，就见玉京山在虚空中若隐若现，明明视线可以看见，却完全在他的感觉中消失。\n末法浩劫一旦激发。 绝不是对手隐遁虚空就能躲避的，这是灭世崩坏之力，引动对手自身的天人五衰，同时施法者自己也要承受相同的末法浩劫。\n但现在的结果却是金蝉子自己白白承受一次末法浩劫，林锋和玉京山却避了过去。\n一圈圈环绕玉京山的七彩光华消失。 林锋和玉京山重新现世，高大的诛天剑匣立在林锋身侧，林锋右手一拍剑匣，万丈凶戾清光冲天而起，诛天剑已经落入林锋手中。\n金蝉子低喧一声佛号，头顶巨蝉光影翅膀振动，道道乌光弥漫天际，接下林锋一道诛天剑光。\n但他却被林锋阻住去路，上不了瀛洲仙山。\n原本已经崩灭的无名古阵再次重组，要将仙山遮蔽起来。\n金蝉子见状，知道瀛洲仙山已经被人炼化，那力量意念波动，与林锋类似。\n于是他再不停留，直接掉头走人，免得被林锋驾驭瀛洲仙山引动瀛海之力围攻。\n同一时间，一个光轮，如同太阳一般从远方海平面升起，瀛海上空重重云烟都无法遮掩其光彩，下一刻，这光轮便已经到了近处，朝着不朽龙城轰然砸落！\n即便以石羽的修为，此刻站在不朽龙城上，面对这一轮光辉，都有一种面对天塌地陷，无穷世界一起倒塌陷落的感觉。\n石羽转头看向瀛洲仙山那边，脸上微微露出复杂之色，驾驭不朽龙城，和赶来救援梁盘的朱洪武所驾驭的大诸天轮对撞一记。\n瀛洲仙山上，感到无名古阵再次重组，大周和大秦修士也都意识到仙山已经被别人炼化，不敢多停留，纷纷离山逃走，对于这些人，林锋也不留难。\n光轮渐渐缩小，露出朱洪武的身影，将大周皇朝修士尽数卷了，面无表情的看着玉京山和瀛洲仙山。\n大诸天轮光辉背后，露出太皇宫，只是原本威风凛凛的太皇宫，此刻竟然隐隐现出颓势。\n宫殿内，周帝梁盘也同样面无表情看向玉京山与瀛洲仙山：“走吧，洪武，今日之事，已不可为。”\n远方被引发的幻海迷潮已经近在眼前，瀛洲仙山接触到幻海迷潮，就会自动隐遁，而林锋和玉京山可以隐入虚空消失不见。\n就算不走，林锋座拥玉京山和瀛洲仙山，再与石羽联手，面对太皇宫、大诸天轮和金蝉子的组合，也足可一战，更何况大周和金蝉子之间的关系，未必就比大周和大秦之间的关系来得好。\n是打是留，主动权完全在林锋手中。\n辛辛苦苦跨越大半个瀛海驰援，紧赶慢赶，最终好不容易抵达，一切却已经尘埃落定，完全没他什么事儿，所有努力，都成了徒劳和笑话。.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "As he was trapped by the Heaven Extreme Universal Light Again, Liang Pan remained calm, \"It’s a pity that the Imperial Palace can’t restore to its peak state yet.\"\nHe was in the Golden Hill Grand Pavilion inside the Imperial Palace. Around him, purple gas started to flow. A royal stature was unveiled. Among the purple gas, there was a sense of might and dominance. A human figure that resembled a ruler appeared.\nLiang Pan’s Royal Purple Gas that he inherited from Emperor Tai appeared. The stature of the Imperial Palace was boosted and the purplish-golden radiance surrounding it became stronger and stronger.\nA huge purplish human figure appeared in the Imperial Palace subtly. He looked fierce, as if the late Emperor Tai had reborn.\nThe immense power shook the Heavens and Earth. The ball of chaos formed from the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra cracked completely at this point.\nThe ball of chaos split into half. Each of these broken halves then reformed into a smaller, complete ball.\nThis instantaneous process re-enacted the scene where the Grand Celestial World split to form the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses.\nBoundless spiritual energy was destroyed and the huge spatial boundaries started to be torn apart.\nLiang Pan used the Imperial Palace to summon the powers of the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra to the fullest. The space of the Ying Sea jerked tremendously.\nVoid space kept on cracking. Through the cracks, Lin Feng and Shi Yu could see the dark universe filled with stars.\nThe Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra tore a huge crack in the spatial boundaries of the Ying Sea.\nIt’s a pity that even though the Heaven Extreme Universal Light had been overcome, there was still Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City.\nJust like an all-conquering wall, the Immortal Dragon City came crashing down on the Imperial Palace.\nAnd Lin Feng summoned Mount Yujing to proceed forward again, as they surrounded and attacked the Imperial Palace.\nBut at this point, Lin Feng, Liang Pan and Shi Yu felt something. They looked at the sea region far away.\nThey did not see anything that was worth catching their attention.\nBut they soon heard the voices of a cicada ringing in their ears.\nLin Feng’s pupils shrank and he saw a cicada rising with the waves in a blue sea far away.\nThat cicada was like a leaf. Even if someone was standing in front of it, they might not even notice it. But Lin Feng could see it clearly.\nThe cicada was shining with a golden radiance. In the next moment, a young monk in a grey robe appeared in the light. It was the Golden Cicada Master. He clasped his palms while smiling at Lin Feng, \"Master Lin, you have really opened my eyes to the world. I am impressed.\n\"I may have made some arrangements, but I am unable to be like Master Lin and determine where to go. I am sorry for making myself a laughing stock.\"\n\"It took me a while to rush back to the Ying Sea, but it was somewhere near here. I believe that things at Penglai Celestial Mountain should be settled, thus I rushed over here. I apologize for anything rude that I did.\"\nHe spoke very politely, but his actions were not slow. As he stepped out, he was about to ascend the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.\nFor someone in the Vipralopa state like him, he was not just powerful in terms of his strength. He also had many tricks up his sleeves. Even Lin Feng was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the Golden Cicada Master would arrive earlier than Zhu Hongwu.\nThis person had the powers and method to transcend boundaries and he even had a pretty crude method of finding a specific location. That was why he was able to rush over so quickly. But as he mentioned, the place where he landed was a little far from the southern region of the Ying Sea and was closer to the north-eastern part of the Ying Sea.\nAs he returned to the Ying Sea, he felt the movement of the Illusory Sea Tide at the southern region of the Ying Sea. He knew that he could no longer count on the Penglai Celestial Mountain, thus he decided to come over to the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.\nHe had no interest in saving Liang Pan. His target was the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.\nBefore Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares cultivated the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, once the Golden Cicada Master was allowed to ascend the mountain, no one could stop him anymore. Zhu Yi controlled the white jade pillar, which allowed him to suppress the others, but it was useless in front of the Golden Cicada Master.\nLin Feng looked calm, \"Master, you have travelled a long way. I believe that you are tired. Please get some rest first.\"\nAs he said, there was a sudden flash of radiance on Mount Yujing. The Heaven Extreme Universal Light descended towards the Golden Cicada Master and was about to cover the Golden Cicada Master.\nThe Golden Cicada Master turned to look at Lin Feng and he said, \"I have not asked before, but how many Power-Destroying Catastrophes can you receive, Master Lin?\"\nAs he said, the voices of cicadas filled the Heavens and Earth. A light projection of a huge cicada was revealed above the head of the Golden Cicada Master. Suddenly, a streak of black gas on the body of the huge cicada converted into a black line and shot towards Lin Feng and Mount Yujing!\nFive Decays of Heaven and Man, Power-Destroying Catastrophe!\nTo prevent getting shifted by Lin Feng’s Barrier-Breaking Stone again, the Golden Cicada Master decided not to use any abhijnas this time. He just unleashed the Power-Destroying Catastrophe at Lin Feng. He did not care about its power, but was confirming his target.\nWherever the black gas passed, even the Heaven Extreme Universal Light started to decay and destruct.\nAll matter in the Heavens and Earth walked towards destruction under the violation of time. The only variable was the speed.\nBut as the world walked towards its end and received destruction, all matter became nothing. Even time ceased to exist. The next cycle of destiny was awaited and everything would restart again.\nWithout Lin Feng and Mount Yujing repressing him, Liang Pan fought Shi Yu alone. The purplish-golden radiance above the Imperial Palace turned to purple suddenly.\nCountless ancient and mysterious runes with unclear meanings appeared on the light projection of Emperor Tai’s spirit above the Imperial Palace.\nAs Shi Yu saw this, he creased his brows, \"You are only concerned with the short-term benefit, are you not afraid that the Imperial Palace will fall apart?\" He might say so, but if he was in Liang Pan’s position, he would most certainly do the same thing.\nAbove the Immortal Dragon City, radiances were flashing. Suddenly, nine light spots shone. Seven were bright and two were dim.\nAbove the Ying Sea, an illusory crack appeared, revealing the stars in the universe. The nine luminaries shone together and the immense force supplemented the Immortal Dragon City.\nAs the two magic treasures clashed again, the Immortal Dragon City was pushed back and above the Imperial Palace, the light projection of Emperor Tai’s spirit was almost crushed.\nTaking this opportunity, the Imperial Palace converted into a streak of purple light, as it escaped into the horizon.\nThe Immortal Dragon City followed closely and did not give the opponent any breathing space.\nAbove the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain on the other side, Lin Feng’s expression remained the same as he sat on Mount Yujing. \"How many Power-Catastrophes can you take then, Master?\"\nAs he said, the leaves of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree started to sway furiously. Many of these leaves even fell off from the branches.\nThese jade-green leaves converted into streaks and streaks of rainbow radiances in mid-space, which revolved around Mount Yujing. The entire Mount Yujing was dragged into void space.\nThe Power-Destroying Catastrophe of the Golden Cicada Master landed nowhere!\n\"Oh?\" The Golden Cicada Master was shocked. As he looked at Mount Yujing, he saw that it appeared and disappeared in void space. He could clearly see it, but he lost all sense of it.\nOnce the Power-Destroying Catastrophe was initiated, it was not possible for the opponent to hide in void space to avoid it. This was a destructive power that could end the world and initiated the five decays in the opponent. At the same time, the cultivator unleashing it would also experience the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.\nBut right now, the Golden Cicada Master was experiencing the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, whereas Lin Feng and Mount Yujing avoided it.\nIn the next instant, rings and rings of radiances that revolved around Mount Yujing had disappeared. Lin Feng and Mount Yujing revealed themselves. The huge sword casket of the Heaven-Destroying Sword was erected beside Lin Feng. As Lin Feng tapped it, a ferocious, clear light shot into the skies and the Heaven-Destroying Sword landed in Lin Feng’s hands.\nThe Golden Cicada Master recited a Buddhist chant and the light projection of the huge cicada above his head moved its wings. Streaks and streaks of dark light filled the skies to receive Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance.\nBut his path was stopped by Lin Feng and he could not ascend the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.\nThis slight delay caused the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain to jerk tremendously. The originally collapsed Nameless Ancient Formation reformed and was about to cover the mountain again.\nAs the Golden Cicada Master saw this, he knew that the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain had been cultivated. The vibration of that power was similar to Lin Feng.\nThus, he quickly turned around and escaped. He did not want Lin Feng to command the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and tap on the power of the Ying Sea to surround him.\nAt the same time, a light wheel rose from the sea far away. The clouds above the Ying Sea could not hide its radiance. In the next moment, the wheel had already arrived close and attacked the Immortal Dragon City!\nEven with Shi Yu’s cultivation, as he stood on the Immortal Dragon City and faced this radiance of the wheel, he could not help but feel a sense of death.\n\"Great Heavenly Wheels…Zhu Hongwu, you are too late.\" Shi Yu turned to the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. He revealed a slightly complex expression. He commanded the Immortal Dragon City which clashed with the Great Heavenly Wheels.\nOn Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, as they felt that the Nameless Ancient Formation had reformed, the Great Zhou and Great Qin cultivators also realized that the mountain had been cultivated by someone. They did not dare to stay for any longer. They quickly escaped.\nThe light wheel gradually shrank and revealed Zhu Hongwu’s figure. He dragged the cultivators from the Great Zhou Empire and stared at Mount Yujing and Yingzhou Celestial Mountain expressionlessly.\nBehind the radiance of the Great Heavenly Wheels, the Imperial Palace was revealed. But the previously mighty Imperial Palace seemed to be on a decline now.\nInside the palace, Liang Pan looked at Mount Yujing expressionlessly too. \"Let’s go, Hongwu. We can’t handle things anymore.\"\nThe Illusory Sea Tide that had been initiated was already coming closer and closer. As the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain came into contact with the Illusory Sea Tide, it would hide itself naturally. Whereas Lin Feng and Mount Yujing could hide themselves in void space and disappear.\nEven if they did not leave, Lin Feng’s Mount Yujing & Yingzhou Celestial Mountain along with Shi Yu were still able to deal with the Imperial Palace, Great Heavenly Wheels and the Golden Cicada Master. Furthermore, the relationship between the Golden Cicada Master and the Great Zhou might not be better than that between the Great Zhou and Great Qin Empire.\nTo attack or to spare them, Lin Feng had the power to decide.\nHe labored across half the Ying Sea to reinforce Liang Pan and finally arrived, but everything had been settled already. There was nothing for him to do anymore. All his efforts were wasted." } ]
再次被天极宙光困住，梁盘神色沉静：“可惜，太皇宫始终未能恢复巅峰状态。” 他立于皇宫金銮大殿内，周身上下开始弥漫出道道紫色气流，皇者之风尽显，紫气之中，隐隐有一个威严霸道，如同天地主宰般的人影浮现，统御八荒六合，君临天下。 梁盘身上传承自太皇的君临紫气一现，太皇宫的气势顿时再次高涨，围绕宫殿的紫金光芒，越来越浓郁。 一个庞大无比的紫色人影，隐约在太皇宫上空出现，面目威严，宛如昔年太皇重生。 庞大的力量震撼着一方天地，皇极开天法所成的混沌气团，这一下彻底裂开。 一个气团分裂成两半，每一半又渐渐重新凝结成一个稍小一些的完整气团。 这个瞬息之间发生的过程，就仿佛重现了当年太古纪元末年，大千世界分裂为神州浩土和天荒广陆的那一幕场景。 无穷灵气溃灭，庞大的空间界域直接被撕裂。 梁盘通过太皇宫，将皇极开天法的力量催动到了极致，瀛海空间都剧烈震荡起来。 虚空不停碎裂，透过碎裂的空间缝隙，林锋和石羽甚至可以看见一丝黑暗星空宇宙。 太皇宫的皇极开天法，直接将瀛海世界的空间界域，真的撕出一道巨大裂缝。 可惜，冲开玉京山的天极宙光，眼前还有石羽和不朽龙城拦路。 如同横亘诸天的无尽长城，不朽龙城向着太皇宫压了下来。 而林锋也催动玉京山再次上前。 与不朽龙城前后夹击太皇宫。 不过就在这个时候，林锋、梁盘、石羽三人突然心中微动，眼角余光都向着远方海域望去。 视线所及之处，没有什么值得注意的东西。 但林锋等人，分明感到方才有一声蝉鸣在他们耳边响起！ 林锋瞳孔微微一缩，目光穿过遥远距离，就见蔚蓝的大海中，海水里一片蝉蜕随着浪花起起伏伏。 那蝉蜕看起来就跟一片树叶似的，寻常人就算站在跟前。 都未必能发现，但以林锋的目光，自然看得一清二楚。 蝉蜕上泛起淡淡金光，下一刻，金光中浮现出一个灰衣少年僧侣，正是金蝉子。 冲着林锋合十一笑：“林宗主着实让贫僧大开眼界。 “贫僧虽然也准备了些安排，但无法像林宗主一样确定传送地点，让诸位道友见笑了。” “好不容易赶回来瀛海，却是离这边比较近，想来蓬莱仙山那边该已尘埃落定，于是便索性赶到这边来了，失礼之处，请勿见怪。” 他话说得客气，动作可一点都不慢，一步跨出。 直接就要登上瀛洲仙山。 末法之境的强者，强大之处并不单单体现在力量上，诸多诡异手段，也是层出不穷，便是林锋也微微感到意外，想不到被自己阴了一招送去天荒广陆的金蝉子，竟然比同在瀛海中的朱洪武来得更快。 想来此人也有穿越界域的神通手段，甚至有比较粗略的定位传送能力，这才能这么快就赶回瀛海，只不过如他所说，传送的地点离瀛海南部比较远，离东北部的瀛洲仙山反而比较近。 金蝉子刚一回瀛海，便也感到瀛海南部那边巨大幻海迷潮的动静，知道蓬莱仙山彻底没了指望，于是索性赶来瀛洲仙山这边。 他对于解救梁盘，没有任何兴趣，目标直指瀛洲仙山。 在林锋的战神分身尚没有炼化瀛洲仙山以前，一旦让金蝉子上了山，没有人可以阻挡，朱易初步掌握白玉柱，可以压服其他人，但面对金蝉子却全无用武之地。 林锋目光平和：“大师去而复返，一路上想必辛苦了，先歇歇脚吧。” 一边说着，玉京山光辉猛然闪动，天极宙光便向着金蝉子落了下去，要将金蝉子罩住。 金蝉子抬眼看向林锋，轻声说道：“尚不曾请教过，林宗主你可以接几次末法浩劫？” 说话间，天地间蝉鸣声大作，一头巨蝉的光影在金蝉子头顶虚空显露，巨蝉身上突然一道晦暗黑气，化作笔直黑线，向着林锋和玉京山射去！ 天人五衰，末法浩劫！ 为了防止再次被林锋的破界石移走，金蝉子这次干脆任何神通都不再使用，见面就是一道末法浩劫攻向林锋，不为威力大小，只为能确定命中目标。 黑气过处，便是天极宙光都开始不停腐朽，衰竭，溃灭。 世间万物，在时光的侵蚀之下，都将走向衰老灭亡，所差别者，不过是速度快慢而已。 但当世界走到尽头，迎来寂灭，万物归于虚无，便连时光也不复存在，一切等待下一方造化初开，重头来过。 没了林锋和玉京山的牵制，梁盘独战石羽，太皇宫上空紫金光辉突然尽数转变为紫色。 高大的太皇英灵光影身上，浮现出大量意义不明，古老神秘的符纹。 石羽见状，微微蹙眉：“竭泽而渔，不怕太皇宫直接散架吗？” 话是这么说，不过如果换了他在梁盘的位置，肯定也会做相同选择。 不朽龙城上光芒闪动，仿佛无尽时光长河的躯体上，突然闪动九个光点，七明两暗。 瀛海上方天幕洞开一道虚幻的裂缝，露出宇宙群星，其中九曜星辰一起闪烁，磅礴巨力向着不朽龙城加持。 不朽龙城被震退。 而太皇宫上方，太皇英灵光影，差点碎灭。 趁着这个机会，太皇宫化作一道紫光，飞速向着远方遁走。 不朽龙城紧紧跟上，不给对方任何喘息的机会。 另一边瀛洲仙山上空，林锋坐在玉京山上面色不改：“大师又能承受几次末法浩劫？” 说着。 玉京山顶玄天宝树的枝叶剧烈摆动摇曳起来，甚至有大量枝叶从树干上脱落！ 这些碧绿枝叶在半空中化作一道道七彩光芒，在玉京山周围环绕，将整个玉京山卷入虚空之中。 金蝉子的末法浩劫，直接落到空处！ “嗯？” 金蝉子脸上露出意外之色，看向玉京山，就见玉京山在虚空中若隐若现，明明视线可以看见，却完全在他的感觉中消失。 末法浩劫一旦激发。 绝不是对手隐遁虚空就能躲避的，这是灭世崩坏之力，引动对手自身的天人五衰，同时施法者自己也要承受相同的末法浩劫。 但现在的结果却是金蝉子自己白白承受一次末法浩劫，林锋和玉京山却避了过去。 一圈圈环绕玉京山的七彩光华消失。 林锋和玉京山重新现世，高大的诛天剑匣立在林锋身侧，林锋右手一拍剑匣，万丈凶戾清光冲天而起，诛天剑已经落入林锋手中。 金蝉子低喧一声佛号，头顶巨蝉光影翅膀振动，道道乌光弥漫天际，接下林锋一道诛天剑光。 但他却被林锋阻住去路，上不了瀛洲仙山。 原本已经崩灭的无名古阵再次重组，要将仙山遮蔽起来。 金蝉子见状，知道瀛洲仙山已经被人炼化，那力量意念波动，与林锋类似。 于是他再不停留，直接掉头走人，免得被林锋驾驭瀛洲仙山引动瀛海之力围攻。 同一时间，一个光轮，如同太阳一般从远方海平面升起，瀛海上空重重云烟都无法遮掩其光彩，下一刻，这光轮便已经到了近处，朝着不朽龙城轰然砸落！ 即便以石羽的修为，此刻站在不朽龙城上，面对这一轮光辉，都有一种面对天塌地陷，无穷世界一起倒塌陷落的感觉。 石羽转头看向瀛洲仙山那边，脸上微微露出复杂之色，驾驭不朽龙城，和赶来救援梁盘的朱洪武所驾驭的大诸天轮对撞一记。 瀛洲仙山上，感到无名古阵再次重组，大周和大秦修士也都意识到仙山已经被别人炼化，不敢多停留，纷纷离山逃走，对于这些人，林锋也不留难。 光轮渐渐缩小，露出朱洪武的身影，将大周皇朝修士尽数卷了，面无表情的看着玉京山和瀛洲仙山。 大诸天轮光辉背后，露出太皇宫，只是原本威风凛凛的太皇宫，此刻竟然隐隐现出颓势。 宫殿内，周帝梁盘也同样面无表情看向玉京山与瀛洲仙山：“走吧，洪武，今日之事，已不可为。” 远方被引发的幻海迷潮已经近在眼前，瀛洲仙山接触到幻海迷潮，就会自动隐遁，而林锋和玉京山可以隐入虚空消失不见。 就算不走，林锋座拥玉京山和瀛洲仙山，再与石羽联手，面对太皇宫、大诸天轮和金蝉子的组合，也足可一战，更何况大周和金蝉子之间的关系，未必就比大周和大秦之间的关系来得好。 是打是留，主动权完全在林锋手中。 辛辛苦苦跨越大半个瀛海驰援，紧赶慢赶，最终好不容易抵达，一切却已经尘埃落定，完全没他什么事儿，所有努力，都成了徒劳和笑话。
As he was trapped by the Heaven Extreme Universal Light Again, Liang Pan remained calm, "It’s a pity that the Imperial Palace can’t restore to its peak state yet." He was in the Golden Hill Grand Pavilion inside the Imperial Palace. Around him, purple gas started to flow. A royal stature was unveiled. Among the purple gas, there was a sense of might and dominance. A human figure that resembled a ruler appeared. Liang Pan’s Royal Purple Gas that he inherited from Emperor Tai appeared. The stature of the Imperial Palace was boosted and the purplish-golden radiance surrounding it became stronger and stronger. A huge purplish human figure appeared in the Imperial Palace subtly. He looked fierce, as if the late Emperor Tai had reborn. The immense power shook the Heavens and Earth. The ball of chaos formed from the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra cracked completely at this point. The ball of chaos split into half. Each of these broken halves then reformed into a smaller, complete ball. This instantaneous process re-enacted the scene where the Grand Celestial World split to form the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. Boundless spiritual energy was destroyed and the huge spatial boundaries started to be torn apart. Liang Pan used the Imperial Palace to summon the powers of the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra to the fullest. The space of the Ying Sea jerked tremendously. Void space kept on cracking. Through the cracks, Lin Feng and Shi Yu could see the dark universe filled with stars. The Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra tore a huge crack in the spatial boundaries of the Ying Sea. It’s a pity that even though the Heaven Extreme Universal Light had been overcome, there was still Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City. Just like an all-conquering wall, the Immortal Dragon City came crashing down on the Imperial Palace. And Lin Feng summoned Mount Yujing to proceed forward again, as they surrounded and attacked the Imperial Palace. But at this point, Lin Feng, Liang Pan and Shi Yu felt something. They looked at the sea region far away. They did not see anything that was worth catching their attention. But they soon heard the voices of a cicada ringing in their ears. Lin Feng’s pupils shrank and he saw a cicada rising with the waves in a blue sea far away. That cicada was like a leaf. Even if someone was standing in front of it, they might not even notice it. But Lin Feng could see it clearly. The cicada was shining with a golden radiance. In the next moment, a young monk in a grey robe appeared in the light. It was the Golden Cicada Master. He clasped his palms while smiling at Lin Feng, "Master Lin, you have really opened my eyes to the world. I am impressed. "I may have made some arrangements, but I am unable to be like Master Lin and determine where to go. I am sorry for making myself a laughing stock." "It took me a while to rush back to the Ying Sea, but it was somewhere near here. I believe that things at Penglai Celestial Mountain should be settled, thus I rushed over here. I apologize for anything rude that I did." He spoke very politely, but his actions were not slow. As he stepped out, he was about to ascend the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. For someone in the Vipralopa state like him, he was not just powerful in terms of his strength. He also had many tricks up his sleeves. Even Lin Feng was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the Golden Cicada Master would arrive earlier than Zhu Hongwu. This person had the powers and method to transcend boundaries and he even had a pretty crude method of finding a specific location. That was why he was able to rush over so quickly. But as he mentioned, the place where he landed was a little far from the southern region of the Ying Sea and was closer to the north-eastern part of the Ying Sea. As he returned to the Ying Sea, he felt the movement of the Illusory Sea Tide at the southern region of the Ying Sea. He knew that he could no longer count on the Penglai Celestial Mountain, thus he decided to come over to the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. He had no interest in saving Liang Pan. His target was the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. Before Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares cultivated the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, once the Golden Cicada Master was allowed to ascend the mountain, no one could stop him anymore. Zhu Yi controlled the white jade pillar, which allowed him to suppress the others, but it was useless in front of the Golden Cicada Master. Lin Feng looked calm, "Master, you have travelled a long way. I believe that you are tired. Please get some rest first." As he said, there was a sudden flash of radiance on Mount Yujing. The Heaven Extreme Universal Light descended towards the Golden Cicada Master and was about to cover the Golden Cicada Master. The Golden Cicada Master turned to look at Lin Feng and he said, "I have not asked before, but how many Power-Destroying Catastrophes can you receive, Master Lin?" As he said, the voices of cicadas filled the Heavens and Earth. A light projection of a huge cicada was revealed above the head of the Golden Cicada Master. Suddenly, a streak of black gas on the body of the huge cicada converted into a black line and shot towards Lin Feng and Mount Yujing! Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Power-Destroying Catastrophe! To prevent getting shifted by Lin Feng’s Barrier-Breaking Stone again, the Golden Cicada Master decided not to use any abhijnas this time. He just unleashed the Power-Destroying Catastrophe at Lin Feng. He did not care about its power, but was confirming his target. Wherever the black gas passed, even the Heaven Extreme Universal Light started to decay and destruct. All matter in the Heavens and Earth walked towards destruction under the violation of time. The only variable was the speed. But as the world walked towards its end and received destruction, all matter became nothing. Even time ceased to exist. The next cycle of destiny was awaited and everything would restart again. Without Lin Feng and Mount Yujing repressing him, Liang Pan fought Shi Yu alone. The purplish-golden radiance above the Imperial Palace turned to purple suddenly. Countless ancient and mysterious runes with unclear meanings appeared on the light projection of Emperor Tai’s spirit above the Imperial Palace. As Shi Yu saw this, he creased his brows, "You are only concerned with the short-term benefit, are you not afraid that the Imperial Palace will fall apart?" He might say so, but if he was in Liang Pan’s position, he would most certainly do the same thing. Above the Immortal Dragon City, radiances were flashing. Suddenly, nine light spots shone. Seven were bright and two were dim. Above the Ying Sea, an illusory crack appeared, revealing the stars in the universe. The nine luminaries shone together and the immense force supplemented the Immortal Dragon City. As the two magic treasures clashed again, the Immortal Dragon City was pushed back and above the Imperial Palace, the light projection of Emperor Tai’s spirit was almost crushed. Taking this opportunity, the Imperial Palace converted into a streak of purple light, as it escaped into the horizon. The Immortal Dragon City followed closely and did not give the opponent any breathing space. Above the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain on the other side, Lin Feng’s expression remained the same as he sat on Mount Yujing. "How many Power-Catastrophes can you take then, Master?" As he said, the leaves of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree started to sway furiously. Many of these leaves even fell off from the branches. These jade-green leaves converted into streaks and streaks of rainbow radiances in mid-space, which revolved around Mount Yujing. The entire Mount Yujing was dragged into void space. The Power-Destroying Catastrophe of the Golden Cicada Master landed nowhere! "Oh?" The Golden Cicada Master was shocked. As he looked at Mount Yujing, he saw that it appeared and disappeared in void space. He could clearly see it, but he lost all sense of it. Once the Power-Destroying Catastrophe was initiated, it was not possible for the opponent to hide in void space to avoid it. This was a destructive power that could end the world and initiated the five decays in the opponent. At the same time, the cultivator unleashing it would also experience the Power-Destroying Catastrophe. But right now, the Golden Cicada Master was experiencing the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, whereas Lin Feng and Mount Yujing avoided it. In the next instant, rings and rings of radiances that revolved around Mount Yujing had disappeared. Lin Feng and Mount Yujing revealed themselves. The huge sword casket of the Heaven-Destroying Sword was erected beside Lin Feng. As Lin Feng tapped it, a ferocious, clear light shot into the skies and the Heaven-Destroying Sword landed in Lin Feng’s hands. The Golden Cicada Master recited a Buddhist chant and the light projection of the huge cicada above his head moved its wings. Streaks and streaks of dark light filled the skies to receive Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance. But his path was stopped by Lin Feng and he could not ascend the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. This slight delay caused the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain to jerk tremendously. The originally collapsed Nameless Ancient Formation reformed and was about to cover the mountain again. As the Golden Cicada Master saw this, he knew that the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain had been cultivated. The vibration of that power was similar to Lin Feng. Thus, he quickly turned around and escaped. He did not want Lin Feng to command the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and tap on the power of the Ying Sea to surround him. At the same time, a light wheel rose from the sea far away. The clouds above the Ying Sea could not hide its radiance. In the next moment, the wheel had already arrived close and attacked the Immortal Dragon City! Even with Shi Yu’s cultivation, as he stood on the Immortal Dragon City and faced this radiance of the wheel, he could not help but feel a sense of death. "Great Heavenly Wheels…Zhu Hongwu, you are too late." Shi Yu turned to the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. He revealed a slightly complex expression. He commanded the Immortal Dragon City which clashed with the Great Heavenly Wheels. On Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, as they felt that the Nameless Ancient Formation had reformed, the Great Zhou and Great Qin cultivators also realized that the mountain had been cultivated by someone. They did not dare to stay for any longer. They quickly escaped. The light wheel gradually shrank and revealed Zhu Hongwu’s figure. He dragged the cultivators from the Great Zhou Empire and stared at Mount Yujing and Yingzhou Celestial Mountain expressionlessly. Behind the radiance of the Great Heavenly Wheels, the Imperial Palace was revealed. But the previously mighty Imperial Palace seemed to be on a decline now. Inside the palace, Liang Pan looked at Mount Yujing expressionlessly too. "Let’s go, Hongwu. We can’t handle things anymore." The Illusory Sea Tide that had been initiated was already coming closer and closer. As the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain came into contact with the Illusory Sea Tide, it would hide itself naturally. Whereas Lin Feng and Mount Yujing could hide themselves in void space and disappear. Even if they did not leave, Lin Feng’s Mount Yujing & Yingzhou Celestial Mountain along with Shi Yu were still able to deal with the Imperial Palace, Great Heavenly Wheels and the Golden Cicada Master. Furthermore, the relationship between the Golden Cicada Master and the Great Zhou might not be better than that between the Great Zhou and Great Qin Empire. To attack or to spare them, Lin Feng had the power to decide. He labored across half the Ying Sea to reinforce Liang Pan and finally arrived, but everything had been settled already. There was nothing for him to do anymore. All his efforts were wasted.

I still need big brother Ya to take care of me in the future.” Ye Tian Xie shrugged his shoulders as he said in a humble voice.\nYuan Ya stared at him for a while before curling his lips and waving his arms, “Forget it, forget it! Don’t tell me anything…..Who you are doesn’t mean shit to me! The Azure Dragon’s Ring and the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage aren’t related to me for shit! I am just an appraiser, this isn’t related to me at all…..Brat! Listen, I gave you the appraisal fee for the Azure Dragon’s Ring last time, but this time you can’t skip out on a single coin.”\n“Alright, I understand.” Ye Tian Xie said with a faint smile. His eyes remained on the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage…..Equipment on the same level as the Azure Dragon’s Ring, its strength must not be below the Azure Dragon’s Ring! How could he not be expectant…..He was even burning with impatience.\nYuan Ya did not waste words. He held the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage in one hand and used the appraisal technique with the other. The Vermillion Bird’s Plumage was only the length of a palm and was fire red. Looking at it from afar, it looked like it was on fire. What made Ye Tian Xie doubtful was…..When he obtained the Azure Dragon’s Ring, in the Azure Dragon’s Ring’s description, behind the name was the grade and the explanation of needing to be appraised. As for the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage, all that it showed behind its name was question marks…..There was no grade, no equipment type, and no prompt of needing to be appraised.\nWhat was going on?\nMoreover, this was a feather……What kind of equipment was it? Could it be a special accessory?\nAt this time, he suddenly saw that Yuan Ya’s eyes looking at the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage suddenly contracted…..It was like he had received a huge shock.\n“What happened?” Ye Tian Xie asked in a surprised voice.\nYuan Ya did not reply as he slowly turned around. From his trembling eyes, Ye Tian Xie could see shock, disbelief…..and also fear.\n“Where did you obtain this Vermillion Bird’s Plumage!” Yuan Ya who said that he wasn’t related at all, but suddenly he spoke with a serious voice, asking Ye Tian Xie where he obtained this Vermillion Bird’s Plumage from. His expression made Ye Tian Xie stunned and after a bit of hesitation, he said, “I obtained it from a person I don’t know who I didn’t even see the face of.”\nYuan Ya did not go in depth into his answer, as if he did not think he could obtain the answer he wanted. He returned the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage to Ye Tian Xie’s hand with a stiff face and said nothing else.\nVermillion Bird’s Plumage: ????\nThere were still the four question marks and no stats being displayed.\n“It can’t be appraised?” Ye Tian Xie tentatively asked.\n“No.” Yuan Ya shook his head with a dark look before turning around. He looked out the door and let out a breath of air. On his old face, there was a vague sadness that seemed like he was recalling some sad past event. He then continued to say, “It’s not that it can’t be appraised, rather, it does not need to be appraised.”\n“It doesn’t need to be appraised?” Ye Tian Xie was astonished.\n“Yes, it doesn’t need to be appraised. The reason why its stats have not been revealed is not because it isn’t appraised, but rather…..Its strength has been sealed…..with a terrifying seal. This seal, there are less than five people that recognize it…..It’s lucky that I am one of them.” Yuan Ya slowly said.\n“What seal is it?” Yuan Ya’s words, his expression, and his voice made the doubts in Ye Tian Xie’s heart deeper and deeper. The strangeness with the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage was not because it was unidentified, but this result wasn’t too surprising to him. What made his heart become serious was what Yuan Ya said.\nYuan Ya turned around to look at him and said in a stiff voice, “The name of this seal is the ‘Demon Clan’s Seal’! This seal does not take any shape and does not let people realize its existence, but it is an ultimate seal that is impossible to break no matter how strong one is. This seal can even stop the powerful Vermillion Bird’s Plumage from revealing any strength. To break this seal…..There is only demonic energy, the strongest demonic energy.”\nYe Tian Xie: “……”\n“If it is really sealed, then…..The ‘demonic seal’ you mentioned, is there a way to unlock it?” Ye Tian Xie looked up and asked. The Vermillion Bird’s Plumage in his hand was locked by a powerful seal. What he needed to do was to do his best to unseal it.\n“There is. Of course there is. In this world, even the strongest seal would have a way of unlocking it…..However, the demonic seal can be considered the exception. Although there is a way to unseal it, this method no longer exists.” Yuan Ya said in a deep voice.\n“What method?” Ye Tian Xie asked with a frown.\nYuan Ya looked at him and slowly said, “There are only two methods. The first is….Demon God Li Xiao’s blood!”\nYe Tian Xie: “!!”\nTen thousand years ago, after destroying the five protective sacred beasts and having his powers weakened by the five sacred beasts, he was sealed by the four protective Spiritual Gods of the Illusory Beast Clan using their vital energy. It was Li Xiao!!\nTo unlock this seal, what was required was actually his blood……\nThis was a terrifying and cruel method of unsealing, it was impossible to realize. The previous demon god, who dared to take his blood. As for the current demon god…..He had died or was sealed……or had really reappeared on the Lost Continent like the old man in the Illusory Beast Clan Ruins had said, hiding in an unknown corner.\n“What is the other method?” Ye Tian Xie asked with knit brows.\n“There is another way…..” Yuan Ya paused for a bit before speaking again in a deep voice, “Only, this method no longer exists because the only person that knew this method is already dead. He is my only true friend in this life, Yuan Que.”\nYe Tian Xie: “……”\n“Back then, Yuan Que picked up the Azure Dragon’s Ring off a dead person and the Azure Dragon’s Ring was sealed with the ‘demonic seal’. It was also him who unsealed the Azure Dragon’s Ring. Other than him, there isn’t a second person on the Lost Continent that can undo the demonic seal. Perhaps the Azure Dragon’s Ring falling into his hands in the past was truly divine intervention. Otherwise, even if it fell into your hands, it would just be a ring without any stats that has a giant background. Ye Tian Xie: “……”\nYuan Que……The old man running the store in the Beginner Village 60001.\nYe Tian Xie opened his mouth…..But when he thought of the old man’s reaction from before, he swallowed the words he was about to speak. He firmly believed that Yuan Que was already dead…..Most likely, he had personally witnessed Yuan Que turning into ashes. When he mentioned seeing Yuan Que to him before, he had exploded and spat all over his face. If he raised this matter again, his face would be covered once again.\nLi Xiao’s blood……Yuan Que……\nThat old man actually had this kind of large skills. What was his true identity?\nUn? He couldn’t be one of the twelve sages, right?\nHe just obtained another reason to return to the Beginner Village. Where Demon God Li Xiao was didn’t really concern him and he wasn’t naive enough to think that he could really take Li Xiao’s blood after finding him. However, how could he be resigned to letting the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage which was on the same level as the Azure Dragon’s Ring remain useless.\n“Do the Seven Star Lotus or the Wishing Tree’s Thorn have a chance of breaking the seal?” Ye Tian Xie thought of the things he had and raised his head to ask.\nYe Tian Xie smiled without saying anything. After thinking for a bit, he said, “Big brother Ya, you are experienced and know everything, you must know how to use the Seven Star Lotus to restore a piece of equipment, right?”\n“You should ask Old Iron next door, I am not a blacksmith.” Yuan Ya impatiently waved his hand, clearly having many matters weighing on his heart. The Azure Dragon’s Ring also had the “demonic seal” in the past and the current Vermillion Bird’s Plumage was also similarly sealed…..Why did the five divine items that had disappeared from the Lost Continent in the past appear in this condition…..Also why did they appear in succession.\nDemonic seal…..To be able to use the strongest demonic seal, it included demons like Li Xiao, but they…..Didn’t they all die already!!\n“Alright, I’ll go to the blacksmith to take a look. I’ll see you next time.” Ye Tian XIe did not waste words and directly left after bidding farewell to Yuan Ya.\nAfter a minute, Yuan Ya finally came back to his senses after pondering. He stroked his not that long beard and spoke to himself in a whisper, “Un? Could it be that brat really obtained the Seven Star Lotus and the Wishing Tree’s Thorn? Being able to obtain anything from the Wishing Tree requires a giant amount of luck…..And being able to obtain the Azure Dragon’s Ring and the Vermillion Bird’s Plumage, that is a large amount of bad luck…..This brat, what background does he have…..It’s not normal! It’s too abnormal…..Ai! What am I thinking about this for? I am just an appraisal shop’s appraiser and I’ve already decided not to care about these matters. They aren’t related to me at all…..Wu, I know nothing and I saw nothing. Forget everything, forget everything…..”\n————\nYe Tian Xie quickly left, afraid that he would see Yuan Ya slam his head against his wall to “forget” everything.\nBeginner Village 60001…..Yuan Que. Even if Ye Tian Xie was an idiot, he wouldn’t think that old man is someone simple. Back then, when he had said “big brother is an expert”, Ye Tian Xie wanted to laugh in his face. But thinking about it now…..Not only was he an expert, he was an expert among experts." } ]

That surprise naturally came from the great improvement of his will.\nGenerally speaking, his will should’ve been extremely weak now that he had split it into two. But the reality had given him a surprise. Compared to a month ago, not only was his will not weakened, it had grown stronger instead!\n“Looks like one month of visualising the lightning prison has given a great boost to my will.” Mu Chen muttered to himself and his eyes couldn’t help lighting up. He finally understood the great benefit of a will’s cultivation technique.\nIn the past, Mu Chen had no ways of improving his will and could only rely on some opportunities to strengthen it. Furthermore, those increments weren’t obvious. But adding them up bit by bit, his will had gradually surpassed an ordinary person’s.\nBut right now, after obtaining the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, he had only cultivated it for a month and the improvement of his will was comparable to the past year…\n“It’s no wonder why it’s so hard to become a Battle Formation Master. It’s practically impossible to form a Spirit of Battle Will with over ten thousand runes without any cultivation method.” Mu Chen sighed as he shook his head. After all, even if his will was powerful in the future, he was still trapped before ten thousand runes, not to mention about him intending to become a Battle Formation Master.\nIn the path of a Battle Formation Master, getting through the foothold was the hardest part.\n“Now that I have visualised the lightning prison, I have barely succeeded in the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique. In the future, I only have to refine my will to attract the lightning tribulation. As long as I manage to get through the first tribulation, there will be a great boost to my will… at that time, not to mention a ten thousand rune Battle Will Spirit, even fifty thousand runes might be possible.”\nAs thoughts revolved in Mu Chen’s heart, just thinking about that day left him with expectations. A ten thousand rune Battle Will Spirit alone was invincible under the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. If he managed to reach over thirty thousand runes, perhaps even a Seventh Grade Sovereign would be fearful of him.\nNaturally, Mu Chen knew that he probably still had a long refining process to go before he experienced the first tribulation. However, the hardest portion, which was stepping into the foothold, was done, so it was practically a matter of time for him to get through his tribulation.\nBecoming a Battle Formation Master had made Mu Chen more confident. Not only was he a Battle Formation Master, he was also a Spiritual Array Master. The two originated from the same place in the ancient times, so there was no lack of people that cultivated the two of them in the past. Those existences were extremely dazzling, even during the ancient times.\nHuff.\nMu Chen deeply sucked in a breath of air to suppress the surging waves in his heart. With a slight will of his mind, he raised his head and looked up at the sky of the Sovereign Sea, seeing the black pagoda that quietly stood before him.\nGolden flames were ablaze within it as it refined the azure smoke that had endlessly entered the pagoda and a Spiritual Energy current was pouring down from the pagoda, rumbling as it entered the endless Sovereign Sea down below.\nDuring this one month, the Nine-Layered Pagoda had been constantly working to refine the Spiritual Energy essences in the Fallen Origin Pellets. It refined them without knowing tiredness and Mu Chen could sense that compared to a month before, his Spiritual Energy was much more robust. The sea level of the Sovereign Sea had also increased, it became more vast.\n“This level of Spiritual Energy… not far away from the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.”\nA light flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he sensed the Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea of the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, it was just a step away from the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm!\n“But even if I finish the 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets, I’m afraid that I still will not be able to make my first attempt at the breakthrough.” Thoughts swiftly revolved in Mu Chen’s mind. Shortly after, with a will of his mind, Mu Chen had exited his cultivative state. His figure, which had not been moving for the past month in the cave, slowly opened its eyes.\nThe dense azure smoke in the cave was much thinner due to being absorbed and refined by Mu Chen. Over the past month, the 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets had also been gradually devoured by him.\nMu Chen looked at the thinned azure smoke, then became briefly submerged in his thoughts before patting the Universal Bracelet on his wrist. Instantly, a flowing current whistled out and had spread out within this cave.\nThe flowing current was an innumerable amount of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Judging from the scale, there were at least 100,000 drops. The amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in his possession was also extremely ample. Even if he had spent quite a bit over the past year, he had still stockpiled a portion for himself to attempt his breakthrough.\nWith 100,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it should be enough for Mu Chen to make a breakthrough.\nRumble!\nMu Chen swiftly formed some seals, then slightly opened his mouth. Instantly, the current of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid whistled as it poured into his mouth. The sky had split open in the Sovereign Sea as numerous drops descended from the sky, before gushing into the Nine-Layered Pagoda.\nRumble! Along with the additional massive amount of Spiritual Energy from the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, the refining speed of the Nine-Layered Pagoda had started to increase. The golden flames were ablaze and refining the large amount of Spiritual Energy before pouring it into the Sovereign Sea, converting it into Mu Chen’s own Spiritual Energy.\nThe entire Sovereign Sea trembled with buzzing noises as massive Spiritual Energy waves violently rolled on the surface of the sea. Layers of waves overlapped, charging towards the horizon.\nIt’s as if they were trying to break apart the shackles and reach a higher level.\nThe path of an expert meant fearlessness towards dangers, disregarding themselves to reach a higher point. Only then, could they stand out amongst the countless life forms in the world and become a powerhouse in the Great Thousand World!\nThus, Mu Chen started to gather his focus and refined the Fallen Origin Pellets and Sovereign Spiritual Liquids at full force as time gradually passed…\nIn this remote mountain, whizzing sounds rang out from every direction as countless streaks of light soared endlessly towards the sky before moving towards the distance. At the same time, streaks of light of the same scale flew over from the distance, which vaguely brought along an ominous aura.\nThis mountain range was naturally the resting place of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Except that they probably never expected that Mu Chen’s cultivation would last for a month.\nOver the past month, they had clearly stayed behind to protect Mu Chen, in case something happened during his cultivation. But fortunately, after their trip from the Death Ruin, they had obtained a sufficient amount of Fallen Origin Pellets. So they did not suffer any great loss over the past month.\nFurthermore, when Mu Chen was cultivating, the Kings had also occasionally left this place to look for some ruins to kill their boredom.\nWhile they swept the ruins, they had also paid attention to the information in the Fallen Battlefield. Clearly, as time passed, the brutality of this Hunting War had gradually been unfolded.\nOver the past month, there were countless brutal battles that took place in the Fallen Battlefield. Those forces that were rather weak were either annihilated or they had left the Fallen Battlefield, this brutal land, after suffering heavy casualties.\nAmongst those forces, there were also some top forces that had paid a great price and had to leave as well.\nNaturally, aside from that, the conflict had also become more intense as time passed, even peak forces were dragged into it.\nAnyone could vaguely sense that this Hunting War was probably going to reach the insane period… where even peak forces had risks of being annihilated! …\nOn a mountain peak, Nine Nether’s slender figure stood with the wind blowing against her. Her gaze was fixed on a mountain peak not too far away, it was the tightly shut cave where Mu Chen was cultivating.\nEver since Mu Chen entered the cave, there wasn’t any commotions for the past month. If it wasn’t for them being able to vaguely sense the undulations of Spiritual Energy within, they might have thought that something went wrong with Mu Chen’s cultivation.\nOne month wasn’t a short period of time in the hunting War. If it wasn’t for their ample harvest from the Death Ruin, they would’ve been left behind from this one month of waiting alone. Whoosh!\nThe whizzing of wind resounded as numerous figures appeared beside Nine Nether, the other Kings. They looked at Mu Chen’s seclusion location and furrowed their brows. “King Mu still show no signs of coming out?”\nNine Nether gently shook her head as she bitterly smiled. Clearly, Mu Chen’s cultivation time had somewhat exceeded their expectations.\n“Haha. Cultivating for so long, he must have a pretty great harvest. Looks like after this seclusion, King Mu’s strength will undergo a great boost.” The Blood Hawk King, on the other hand, had casually smiled.\n“Although we did not have too much of a harvest in the past month, we managed to rest and avoid the maddening atmosphere in the Fallen Battlefield. But if we encountered the Divine Pavilion, which is a little ferocious at this point in time, it’d be somewhat troublesome.” The Spiritual Sword King said.\nHearing the words ‘Divine Pavilion’ the expressions of the Kings involuntarily froze. Half a month ago, the Divine Pavilion ran into the Myriad Saint Peak, which was also a peak force. In order to snatch a Grade-1 Ruin, both sides fought and the outcome had left everyone shocked. The Battle Will genius of the Myriad Saint Peak was defeated by Zhantai Liuli of the Divine Pavilion. Not only was he heavily wounded, but half of his elite troops had also fallen in the battle. They also had Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm experts dying from the battle, it was a tragic battle…\nThat battle had completely boosted Zhantai Liuli’s name. It was so much so that even Fang Yi, who was the Overlord of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, was pale in comparison.\n“Zhantai Liuli must have managed to become a Battle Formation Master.” Nine Nether solemnly said. If that wasn’t the case, then she wouldn’t have been able to defeat a Battle Will genius so easily.\nThe countenances of the Mountain Splitting King and the rest were grave. Facing a Battle Formation Master who was in control of an elite troop, even those with pinnacle Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm strength would be extremely fearful.\n“It’s said that Fang Yi has been searching for our traces. It looks like they’re going to take revenge for the previous grudge. We have to stay low-key for the time being.” Nine Nether said gently, “We only have to wait until Mu Chen is out and we can move out to join up with the others and wait for the Domain Ruler’s order.”\nThe Mountain Splitting King and the rest nodded their heads. Indeed, with the Divine Pavilion’s current momentum becoming more ferocious, in addition to Zhantai Liuli, who had become a Battle Formation Master, they probably could only wait until Mu Chen was out before they should confront them.\nOtherwise, they wouldn’t be able to resist the Divine Pavilion party’s blade. Boom!\nJust as thoughts circulated in their heads, this land suddenly, slightly trembled, which caused the Kings to be startled and they abruptly raised their heads to look at the tightly shut cave in shock.\nThey could feel an extremely majestic Spiritual Energy pouring out from the cave, similar to a volcanic eruption!\nThose Spiritual Energy undulations obviously belonged to Mu Chen!\nAfter secluding for a month, there’s finally a response from him!" } ]
第八百九十九章 至尊海上空，牧尘的身影凌空而立，此时他的面庞上满是惊喜之色，而那份惊喜，自然是来自于他发现自身大为精进的意念。 原本说来，他将意念一分为二，此时他的意念应该是显得格外的虚弱才对，但现实却是给予了他极大的惊喜，他如今的意念，比起一个月之前，不仅未曾削弱，反而变得更为的强横！ 牧尘喃喃自语，旋即其双目忍不住的有些发光起来，他终于是开始体验到这种意念修炼之法的巨大好处了。 在以往的时候，牧尘根本没办法主动的提升自身意念，只能凭借着一些机缘被动的提升，而且那种提升整体说来也并不是特别的明显，只是积少成多下，方才令得他的意念渐渐的胜于常人。 “难怪常人想要成为战阵师如此的困难，如果得不到意念修炼之法，那根本就不可能凝炼出达到万纹规模的战意之灵。” 牧尘感叹的摇摇头，毕竟即便以他以往意念之强，都被卡在万纹之前，更何况其他一些试图成为战阵师的人。 这战阵师之路，入门才是真正的大难题。 “如今我已观想出了雷狱。 勉强算是将这九劫雷狱观想法修炼成功，以后只需要多多锤炼意念，应该便是能够在雷狱中引发雷劫。 只要渡过这第一劫，意念便是能够突飞猛进...到时候，莫说万纹战灵，恐怕五万战纹，都不再话下。” 光是万纹战灵，恐怕七品至尊以下。 都无人能敌，而一旦战纹超过三万道的话，或许七品至尊都不太敢憾其锋芒。 当然了，牧尘也知道。 想要渡过那九劫雷狱观想法的第一劫，他应该还需要很长时间的锤炼，不过如今连最困难的入门阶段都已经完成了，那渡劫成功，想来也只是时间的问题罢了。 而随着真正的成为了一位战阵师，牧尘心中也是愈发的自信起来，他不仅掌握了战阵师，而且他还拥有着灵阵师的手段，这两者在远古时期本就是同出一源。 都是极为的耀眼。 呼。 牧尘深吸一口气，将心中澎湃的心潮给压制了下来，然后他心神微动，抬起头来，望向了至尊海的上空，只见得那里。 一座黑色的光塔依旧是静静的矗立。 一道道灵力洪流，从塔底呼啸而下，轰隆隆的落进了下方看不见尽头的至尊海中。 在这一个月内的时间中，大浮屠塔毫不停歇的工作着，将那陨落源丹内的灵力精华尽数的炼化，而在它这等不知疲倦的炼化下，牧尘能够感觉到，如今至尊海内的灵力，比起一个月之前，无疑是显得更为的雄浑，那至尊海的海平面，也是有所涨动，看起来显得更为的浩瀚。 “如此雄厚的灵力...距突破到五品至尊已不远了。” 牧尘眼中精光涌动，这至尊海内的灵力，已经是达到了四品至尊的巅峰，距那五品至尊仅有一步之遥！ “不过这两万陨落源丹已是即将要消耗殆尽，恐怕无法完成这最后一次的冲刺。” 牧尘心中念头急转，旋即他心神一动，便是退出了修炼状态，那山洞中，他那盘坐一月未曾动过丝毫的身影，也是在此时缓缓睁开了双目。 此时的山洞中，原本浓郁的青烟，的确是变得稀薄了许多，那是因为被牧尘尽数吸收炼化的缘故，这一个月来，这两万陨落源丹也是渐渐的被牧尘所吞下。 牧尘瞧得稀薄下来的青烟，微微沉吟，旋即轻拍了拍手腕处的乾坤镯，顿时一道洪流呼啸而出，而后将这宽敞的山洞尽数的弥漫。 如今的牧尘，比起当初刚来北界时，无疑是显得财大气粗了许多，经历那一次次的历练，他手中的至尊灵液也是颇为的丰厚，即便这一年来修炼时消耗了不少，但如今手中依旧还储存着一笔，所为的，正是眼下这种需要最后的冲刺时。 有了这十万至尊灵液，此次牧尘的突破，应该是足够了。 牧尘双手闪电般的结印，他的嘴巴微微张开，顿时那由至尊灵液所化的洪流便是轰隆隆的呼啸而下，最后化为光流冲进牧尘的嘴中。 至尊海内，那天空再度在此时崩裂开来，然后一道道瀑布般的洪流从天而降，最后横挂天际，尽数的冲进了大浮屠塔内。 随着那些由至尊灵液所化的庞大灵力加入，大浮屠塔内的炼化速度也是开始加快，金色火炎熊熊燃烧间，迅速的将那些庞大灵力炼化，最后尽数的灌注进入至尊海内，将其化为牧尘自身的灵力。 整座至尊海都是在此时此刻嗡鸣震动起来，海面之上，巨大的灵力浪潮疯狂的翻涌着。 浪潮叠加着，一波波的冲击天际。 那般一幕，仿佛是要冲破桎梏。 冲向更高的层次。 强者之道，本就是要这般不畏险阻，奋不顾身的一次次冲刺更高处，唯有如此，方才能够自那天地间无数生灵中脱颖而出，成为大千世界中真正巨擘一般的存在！ 于是时间，在牧尘开始收拢心神。 而同一时间，又是有着同等规模的光影，正在从远处掠来，隐隐间，带来弥漫的煞气。 这片山脉，自然便是牧尘他们这批大罗天域的人马所驻扎休整的地方，只不过或许连九幽他们都未曾料到，牧尘此次的修炼，竟然会持续了一月之久。 而在这一月内。 他们显然只能留在这里为牧尘护法，免得他的修炼出了岔子，但好在的是他们经历了死亡遗迹之行后。 手中的陨落源丹已经是足够完成任务，所以等待一月的话，倒是并未对他们造成太大的损失。 然后搜寻一些遗迹顺手扫荡一下，以此来排解一下等待之中的寂寥。 在顺手扫荡时。 九幽他们也是随时关注着陨落战场中所传出的种种情报，而显然，伴随着时间的推移，大狩猎战的残酷与激烈，也是在逐渐的显露出来。 短短一月时间，这片陨落战场上已是不知道爆发了多少次的惨烈战斗，一些实力较弱的势力，不是被残酷灭杀，便是在付出了惨重损失后被迫提前离开陨落战场这片残酷的区域。 而其中，连一些一流势力，都付出了惨重代价，黯然退场。 当然了，除此之外，随着大狩猎战的越来越白热化，甚至连顶尖势力之间，都是开始摩擦升级，火花越来越强烈。 谁都能够隐约的感觉到，这大狩猎战，恐怕即将进入最为令人疯狂的阶段了...在那阶段中，就算是顶尖势力，都将会有覆灭之危！ 一座山峰上，九幽修长娇躯迎风而立，她美目凝视着不远处的一座山峰，那里有着一座紧闭的山洞，正是牧尘的修炼之所。 自从后者进入其中后，已经是有着一个月左右没有动静传出，若非他们都是能够隐约感觉到其中的灵力波动的话，恐怕都是会忍不住的以为牧尘是否修炼出了岔子。 因为一个月的时间，在这大狩猎战中实在是不算短，如果不是他们之前在死亡遗迹中收获颇丰，恐怕光是这一个月时间的等待，就足以让得他们被抛落在后面。 不远处有着破风声传来，数道身影闪现在了九幽身侧，赫然便是裂山王等人，他们看了一眼牧尘闭关之地，皱眉道：“牧王还未有出关的迹象吗？” 九幽螓首轻摇，也是苦笑一声，显然牧尘此次的修炼时间有些出乎他们的意料。 “呵呵，修炼这么久，那应该是收获不小，看来此次出关后，牧王实力将会大为的精进。” 血鹰王倒是在一旁不在意的笑道。 “这一个月虽然我们没有太大的收获，不过也算是休养生息，避开了如今陨落战场内那有些疯狂的气氛，不然如果遇见此时气势凶猛的神阁，也是麻烦。” 灵剑王也是说道。 一听到神阁二字，九幽他们神色都是忍不住的一凝，因为在那半月之前，神阁的人马与同为顶尖势力的万圣山遇见了，为了争夺一座遗迹之内的陨落元丹，双方自然是大打出手，然而最后的结果，却是让人震撼。 这一战，彻彻底底的让得詹台琉璃声名大振，甚至是连方毅他们这等曾经的龙凤录霸主，都是在其光芒下显得黯淡。 “那詹台琉璃应该成为战阵师了。” 九幽沉声说道，若不是如此的话，她应该不可能如此轻易的就将一位战意天才击败。 裂山王也是面色凝重，面对着一位掌控者精锐军队的战阵师，即便他这六品至尊顶峰的实力，都是感到极为的忌惮。 “据说那方毅最近一直在找寻我们的踪迹，看来是打算报之前的仇，我们此时暂避锋芒，也是合适。” 九幽轻声道：“只要等到牧尘出关，我们就能够动身了，然后与大罗天域其他的人马开始汇合，进而等待域主的指令。” 裂山王他们点点头，的确，神阁如今声势越来越强，再加上成为战阵师的詹台琉璃，他们想要与之再度抗衡，恐怕就只能等待牧尘的出关了。 不然的话，以他们如今的人马，怕是抵挡不住方毅他们那批人马的锐气。 而在他们心中念头转动时，这片大地，突然间在此时悄然的颤抖了一下，这令得九幽，裂山王他们微微一惊，旋即猛的抬头，眼神惊喜的望向了那座紧闭的山洞。 他们在此时察觉到，在那山洞内，突然间有着极端雄浑的灵力，犹如火山一般喷发而起！ 那股灵力波动，赫然便是牧尘的！ 闭关一月，他终于是有动静了！
Chapter 899 - End of Seclusion Chapter 899 - End of Seclusion Above the Sovereign Sea, Mu Chen’s silhouette sat on the sky with his face filled with surprise. That surprise naturally came from the great improvement of his will. Generally speaking, his will should’ve been extremely weak now that he had split it into two. But the reality had given him a surprise. Compared to a month ago, not only was his will not weakened, it had grown stronger instead! “Looks like one month of visualising the lightning prison has given a great boost to my will.” Mu Chen muttered to himself and his eyes couldn’t help lighting up. He finally understood the great benefit of a will’s cultivation technique. In the past, Mu Chen had no ways of improving his will and could only rely on some opportunities to strengthen it. Furthermore, those increments weren’t obvious. But adding them up bit by bit, his will had gradually surpassed an ordinary person’s. But right now, after obtaining the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, he had only cultivated it for a month and the improvement of his will was comparable to the past year… “It’s no wonder why it’s so hard to become a Battle Formation Master. It’s practically impossible to form a Spirit of Battle Will with over ten thousand runes without any cultivation method.” Mu Chen sighed as he shook his head. After all, even if his will was powerful in the future, he was still trapped before ten thousand runes, not to mention about him intending to become a Battle Formation Master. In the path of a Battle Formation Master, getting through the foothold was the hardest part. “Now that I have visualised the lightning prison, I have barely succeeded in the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique. In the future, I only have to refine my will to attract the lightning tribulation. As long as I manage to get through the first tribulation, there will be a great boost to my will… at that time, not to mention a ten thousand rune Battle Will Spirit, even fifty thousand runes might be possible.” As thoughts revolved in Mu Chen’s heart, just thinking about that day left him with expectations. A ten thousand rune Battle Will Spirit alone was invincible under the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. If he managed to reach over thirty thousand runes, perhaps even a Seventh Grade Sovereign would be fearful of him. Naturally, Mu Chen knew that he probably still had a long refining process to go before he experienced the first tribulation. However, the hardest portion, which was stepping into the foothold, was done, so it was practically a matter of time for him to get through his tribulation. Becoming a Battle Formation Master had made Mu Chen more confident. Not only was he a Battle Formation Master, he was also a Spiritual Array Master. The two originated from the same place in the ancient times, so there was no lack of people that cultivated the two of them in the past. Those existences were extremely dazzling, even during the ancient times. Huff. Mu Chen deeply sucked in a breath of air to suppress the surging waves in his heart. With a slight will of his mind, he raised his head and looked up at the sky of the Sovereign Sea, seeing the black pagoda that quietly stood before him. Golden flames were ablaze within it as it refined the azure smoke that had endlessly entered the pagoda and a Spiritual Energy current was pouring down from the pagoda, rumbling as it entered the endless Sovereign Sea down below. During this one month, the Nine-Layered Pagoda had been constantly working to refine the Spiritual Energy essences in the Fallen Origin Pellets. It refined them without knowing tiredness and Mu Chen could sense that compared to a month before, his Spiritual Energy was much more robust. The sea level of the Sovereign Sea had also increased, it became more vast. “This level of Spiritual Energy… not far away from the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.” A light flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he sensed the Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea of the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, it was just a step away from the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm! “But even if I finish the 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets, I’m afraid that I still will not be able to make my first attempt at the breakthrough.” Thoughts swiftly revolved in Mu Chen’s mind. Shortly after, with a will of his mind, Mu Chen had exited his cultivative state. His figure, which had not been moving for the past month in the cave, slowly opened its eyes. The dense azure smoke in the cave was much thinner due to being absorbed and refined by Mu Chen. Over the past month, the 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets had also been gradually devoured by him. Mu Chen looked at the thinned azure smoke, then became briefly submerged in his thoughts before patting the Universal Bracelet on his wrist. Instantly, a flowing current whistled out and had spread out within this cave. The flowing current was an innumerable amount of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Judging from the scale, there were at least 100,000 drops. The amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in his possession was also extremely ample. Even if he had spent quite a bit over the past year, he had still stockpiled a portion for himself to attempt his breakthrough. With 100,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it should be enough for Mu Chen to make a breakthrough. Rumble! Mu Chen swiftly formed some seals, then slightly opened his mouth. Instantly, the current of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid whistled as it poured into his mouth. The sky had split open in the Sovereign Sea as numerous drops descended from the sky, before gushing into the Nine-Layered Pagoda. Rumble! Along with the additional massive amount of Spiritual Energy from the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, the refining speed of the Nine-Layered Pagoda had started to increase. The golden flames were ablaze and refining the large amount of Spiritual Energy before pouring it into the Sovereign Sea, converting it into Mu Chen’s own Spiritual Energy. The entire Sovereign Sea trembled with buzzing noises as massive Spiritual Energy waves violently rolled on the surface of the sea. Layers of waves overlapped, charging towards the horizon. It’s as if they were trying to break apart the shackles and reach a higher level. The path of an expert meant fearlessness towards dangers, disregarding themselves to reach a higher point. Only then, could they stand out amongst the countless life forms in the world and become a powerhouse in the Great Thousand World! Thus, Mu Chen started to gather his focus and refined the Fallen Origin Pellets and Sovereign Spiritual Liquids at full force as time gradually passed… In this remote mountain, whizzing sounds rang out from every direction as countless streaks of light soared endlessly towards the sky before moving towards the distance. At the same time, streaks of light of the same scale flew over from the distance, which vaguely brought along an ominous aura. This mountain range was naturally the resting place of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Except that they probably never expected that Mu Chen’s cultivation would last for a month. Over the past month, they had clearly stayed behind to protect Mu Chen, in case something happened during his cultivation. But fortunately, after their trip from the Death Ruin, they had obtained a sufficient amount of Fallen Origin Pellets. So they did not suffer any great loss over the past month. Furthermore, when Mu Chen was cultivating, the Kings had also occasionally left this place to look for some ruins to kill their boredom. While they swept the ruins, they had also paid attention to the information in the Fallen Battlefield. Clearly, as time passed, the brutality of this Hunting War had gradually been unfolded. Over the past month, there were countless brutal battles that took place in the Fallen Battlefield. Those forces that were rather weak were either annihilated or they had left the Fallen Battlefield, this brutal land, after suffering heavy casualties. Amongst those forces, there were also some top forces that had paid a great price and had to leave as well. Naturally, aside from that, the conflict had also become more intense as time passed, even peak forces were dragged into it. Anyone could vaguely sense that this Hunting War was probably going to reach the insane period… where even peak forces had risks of being annihilated! … On a mountain peak, Nine Nether’s slender figure stood with the wind blowing against her. Her gaze was fixed on a mountain peak not too far away, it was the tightly shut cave where Mu Chen was cultivating. Ever since Mu Chen entered the cave, there wasn’t any commotions for the past month. If it wasn’t for them being able to vaguely sense the undulations of Spiritual Energy within, they might have thought that something went wrong with Mu Chen’s cultivation. One month wasn’t a short period of time in the hunting War. If it wasn’t for their ample harvest from the Death Ruin, they would’ve been left behind from this one month of waiting alone. Whoosh! The whizzing of wind resounded as numerous figures appeared beside Nine Nether, the other Kings. They looked at Mu Chen’s seclusion location and furrowed their brows. “King Mu still show no signs of coming out?” Nine Nether gently shook her head as she bitterly smiled. Clearly, Mu Chen’s cultivation time had somewhat exceeded their expectations. “Haha. Cultivating for so long, he must have a pretty great harvest. Looks like after this seclusion, King Mu’s strength will undergo a great boost.” The Blood Hawk King, on the other hand, had casually smiled. “Although we did not have too much of a harvest in the past month, we managed to rest and avoid the maddening atmosphere in the Fallen Battlefield. But if we encountered the Divine Pavilion, which is a little ferocious at this point in time, it’d be somewhat troublesome.” The Spiritual Sword King said. Hearing the words ‘Divine Pavilion’ the expressions of the Kings involuntarily froze. Half a month ago, the Divine Pavilion ran into the Myriad Saint Peak, which was also a peak force. In order to snatch a Grade-1 Ruin, both sides fought and the outcome had left everyone shocked. The Battle Will genius of the Myriad Saint Peak was defeated by Zhantai Liuli of the Divine Pavilion. Not only was he heavily wounded, but half of his elite troops had also fallen in the battle. They also had Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm experts dying from the battle, it was a tragic battle… That battle had completely boosted Zhantai Liuli’s name. It was so much so that even Fang Yi, who was the Overlord of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, was pale in comparison. “Zhantai Liuli must have managed to become a Battle Formation Master.” Nine Nether solemnly said. If that wasn’t the case, then she wouldn’t have been able to defeat a Battle Will genius so easily. The countenances of the Mountain Splitting King and the rest were grave. Facing a Battle Formation Master who was in control of an elite troop, even those with pinnacle Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm strength would be extremely fearful. “It’s said that Fang Yi has been searching for our traces. It looks like they’re going to take revenge for the previous grudge. We have to stay low-key for the time being.” Nine Nether said gently, “We only have to wait until Mu Chen is out and we can move out to join up with the others and wait for the Domain Ruler’s order.” The Mountain Splitting King and the rest nodded their heads. Indeed, with the Divine Pavilion’s current momentum becoming more ferocious, in addition to Zhantai Liuli, who had become a Battle Formation Master, they probably could only wait until Mu Chen was out before they should confront them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to resist the Divine Pavilion party’s blade. Boom! Just as thoughts circulated in their heads, this land suddenly, slightly trembled, which caused the Kings to be startled and they abruptly raised their heads to look at the tightly shut cave in shock. They could feel an extremely majestic Spiritual Energy pouring out from the cave, similar to a volcanic eruption! Those Spiritual Energy undulations obviously belonged to Mu Chen! After secluding for a month, there’s finally a response from him!

Despite the delay, it managed to arrive before the second batch of infected died.\nMr. Lu speedily produced the cure for the plague using the Red Falcon Herbs and distributed it among the infected. Those who were not in severe condition recovered in no time. It would take the others a few days of rest before they were allowed to reunite with their families.\nThe quarantine zone was filled with tears of joy. The people were extremely worn out from the torture of the plague and the invasion of the demon beasts. They had learned that they should treat life as more precious from the experience.\nLittle did they know, the main reason they were able to survive from the plague and the invasion was a youngster and a crossbreed Heavenly Eagle.\nThe heroic Heavenly Eagle was buried in some corner of the land. Similar to the Black Totem Snake who had protected the city secretly for many years, it was also considered the guardian of the city. Regardless of how petty its lineage and strength were, its contribution would be acknowledged by the people for many years.\nAs for the youngster that the Heavenly Eagle had carried back to West Fortress, he was still in a deep sleep even after everyone had recovered from the plague.\nHe was only an empty shell without a soul. However, when everything returned to normal, he was given the highest respect by the soldiers of the entire fortress.\nSimilar to the Heavenly Eagle, he was so weak that he did not even possess a military rank, yet he was willing to sacrifice all he had to save the city.\nWhen the soldiers saw the cold body of the youngster lying on the stand, they clearly realized that respect was not earned by powerful status or high age, nor was it earned by having an outstanding strength. What mattered the most was the pure, innocent heart!\nSomething that looked extremely terrifying turned out to be the guardian of the city, yet a Magician who seemed rather friendly and gentle turned out to be the cause of the disaster!\nThe people had many things to learn, reflect on and remember from this incident.\nTheir only hope was that Hangzhou City would not experience the same tragedy again. On top of that, they also wished they were more people like Wang Xiaojun, who was willing to stand forward and face the terrifying army of White Magic Falcons despite his young age. He did not have a military rank, but he was not scared of the authorities when he clearly knew the right thing to do.\n“Is there really no way to save him?” Lingling asked as she leaned against the ice bed which was preserving the body. Her eyes flickered with a hint of frustration.\nMr. Lu stroked his mustache with a helpless expression. He shook his head and uttered a sigh, “Some said that the highest Magic of the Healing Element has the ability to revive someone. I myself have yet to achieve such a height, but I believe someone in this world has done so. The problem is, it will only work when his soul is fully preserved. In his situation, his body is in perfect condition, yet half of his soul was taken away. Only one place in this world can save him.”\nLingling blurted out, “Where is it? Tell me!”\nMr. Lu hesitated for a moment, before replying, “The Parthenon Temple.”\nA thought crossed Mo Fan’s mind. The Parthenon Temple?\nIt was the second time he had heard the name. It sounded like a sacred place in a different country. He recalled that Tangyue had mentioned the same name when he asked her how he could possibly save Xu Zhaoting’s life in the past.\nWhat kind of place was it? The highest temple for the Healing Element?\nIf the Healers there could possibly wake Wang Xiaojun up, couldn’t the government of Hangzhou City ask them a favor to save the kid’s life?\n“Shouldn’t we send him to the Parthenon Temple, if we know there’s a chance he could be saved?” asked Lingling.\nMr. Lu waved his hand and spoke, “I don’t know about the details, but I’m sure that it won’t make any difference, even if we brought Wang Xiaojun there. They do have the ability to resurrect one’s soul, but they are very strict about it, and they don’t welcome visitors. Even the President of our country’s Magic Association wouldn’t convince them to save the kid, let alone the city’s government.”\n“So there’s no way we can help him?” said Mo Fan.\n“We’ll leave him in sleep for now. Maybe a miracle will happen. His soul might recover slowly. No matter how slim the chance is, we’ll take care of him,” said Mr. Lu. —————-\nWest Lake…\nSu Causeway had a totally different look. Except for the path that was filled with fallen leaves, the place was crowded with visitors. Many people had visited West Lake after the incident, hoping they could see the Black Totem Snake in person.\nThe Black Totem Snake had suddenly become a tourist attraction, gathering a huge number of tourists here. They completely forgot that the city had just gone through a red alert crisis.\nUnfortunately, the Black Totem Snake never showed himself after the battle. The visitors only found themselves staring at the lake’s water.\nThe news about the Black Totem Snake spread wildly. The people now knew that Hangzhou City had a guardian, explaining why a city that had existed for such a long time had suffered the lowest number of invasions.\nWhen everything returned to normal, there were elderly taking a walk on Su Causeway, couples having dates on the benches and families visiting the city enjoying themselves beside the lake. As the fear that loomed over the city totally disappeared, the city regained its peace… It was all up to the residents to not take the peaceful time for granted.\n“Here, this is for you,” Tangyue softly swiped her hair, giving Mo Fan a stunning smile.\nMo Fan received Tangyue’s gift with a confused look. He slowly opened up the wrapping.\n“What is this? It’s hard and black?” said Mo Fan.\n“It’s what you asked for,” said Tangyue sternly.\nMo Fan could not help but mumble in his heart, What I want is you, why are you giving me instead?\n“It’s the Black Totem Snake’s scales. You can use it to forge a set of armor!” said Tangyue.\n“Oh, right, just these much? I was planning to forge a few sets of them,” said Mo Fan, who was checking out the scales, which only seemed to be enough for a single set of armor.\n“They aren’t scales you can just find, and the scales that peel off during the ecdysis are incredibly hard to refine. I’ve tried very hard to find a good blacksmith, and this is all I get? Give it back if you’re not happy with it!” Tangyue said with a long face.\nIf the whole skin that the snake had shed was eligible to be forged into armor equipment, they would have produced them in bulk. Magical equipment was incredibly scarce, not only because they were difficult to produce, but because the material was very hard to find, too!\n“I’m happy with a set of armor,” Mo Fan chuckled. He would not dare reject Tangyue’s gift!\n“Snake scale is a special material, especially the Black Totem Snake’s… I suggest you look for a talented forgemaster at Dongfang Oriental Tower. Not every forgemaster can handle the difficulty of forging a set of armor with these scales,” advised Tangyue.\n“Mm, I’ve stayed in Hangzhou for too long. It’s time for me to go back to school!” said Mo Fan with a relaxed smile, placing his hands behind his head.\n“You’ve done a lot this time. Hangzhou’s Enforcement Union has proposed granting you a rather unique title,” Tangyue said with a giggle.\n“You will know it once you arrive at school, and you’re welcome,” Tangyue replied with a mysterious smile." } ]

Even the President of our country’s Magic Association wouldn’t convince them to save the kid, let alone the city’s government.” “So there’s no way we can help him?” said Mo Fan. “We’ll leave him in sleep for now. Maybe a miracle will happen. His soul might recover slowly. No matter how slim the chance is, we’ll take care of him,” said Mr. Lu. —————- West Lake… Su Causeway had a totally different look. Except for the path that was filled with fallen leaves, the place was crowded with visitors. Many people had visited West Lake after the incident, hoping they could see the Black Totem Snake in person. The Black Totem Snake had suddenly become a tourist attraction, gathering a huge number of tourists here. They completely forgot that the city had just gone through a red alert crisis. Unfortunately, the Black Totem Snake never showed himself after the battle. The visitors only found themselves staring at the lake’s water. The news about the Black Totem Snake spread wildly. The people now knew that Hangzhou City had a guardian, explaining why a city that had existed for such a long time had suffered the lowest number of invasions. When everything returned to normal, there were elderly taking a walk on Su Causeway, couples having dates on the benches and families visiting the city enjoying themselves beside the lake. As the fear that loomed over the city totally disappeared, the city regained its peace… It was all up to the residents to not take the peaceful time for granted. “Here, this is for you,” Tangyue softly swiped her hair, giving Mo Fan a stunning smile. Mo Fan received Tangyue’s gift with a confused look. He slowly opened up the wrapping. “What is this? It’s hard and black?” said Mo Fan. “It’s what you asked for,” said Tangyue sternly. Mo Fan could not help but mumble in his heart, What I want is you, why are you giving me instead? “It’s the Black Totem Snake’s scales. You can use it to forge a set of armor!” said Tangyue. “Oh, right, just these much? I was planning to forge a few sets of them,” said Mo Fan, who was checking out the scales, which only seemed to be enough for a single set of armor. “They aren’t scales you can just find, and the scales that peel off during the ecdysis are incredibly hard to refine. I’ve tried very hard to find a good blacksmith, and this is all I get? Give it back if you’re not happy with it!” Tangyue said with a long face. If the whole skin that the snake had shed was eligible to be forged into armor equipment, they would have produced them in bulk. Magical equipment was incredibly scarce, not only because they were difficult to produce, but because the material was very hard to find, too! “I’m happy with a set of armor,” Mo Fan chuckled. He would not dare reject Tangyue’s gift! “Snake scale is a special material, especially the Black Totem Snake’s… I suggest you look for a talented forgemaster at Dongfang Oriental Tower. Not every forgemaster can handle the difficulty of forging a set of armor with these scales,” advised Tangyue. “Mm, I’ve stayed in Hangzhou for too long. It’s time for me to go back to school!” said Mo Fan with a relaxed smile, placing his hands behind his head. “You’ve done a lot this time. Hangzhou’s Enforcement Union has proposed granting you a rather unique title,” Tangyue said with a giggle. “You will know it once you arrive at school, and you’re welcome,” Tangyue replied with a mysterious smile.

If Meng Hao hadn’t made a move against him just now, he surely would have laughed coldly with disdain. Right now, though, he could unquestionably sense Meng Hao’s killing intent deep in his bones.\nIt didn’t matter what type of identity he had, if Meng Hao said he was going to kill someone, he would kill them!\n“What if I could form an alliance with him…?” thought Liu Zichuan. His eyes glittered for a moment, but then grew dark. He suddenly realized, based on the short battle just now… there was no way for him to know Meng Hao’s true strength.\nHe knew that Meng Hao was unfathomable, and had not unleashed his full potential. As for how much of it he had revealed, it was impossible to guess.\n“The smartest thing to do is never provoke someone like him.”\nAs Liu Zichuan fled into the distance, Meng Hao retracted his gaze and left the Third Anima, returning to the First. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them; they shone with the brilliant glow of a powerful expert.\n“It’s difficult to judge how weak or powerful I am exactly. However, if I could achieve the fleshly body strength of the Seventh Anima while only in the First Anima, then when I entered the Seventh Anima, I would definitely have a Spirit Severing fleshly body!\n“That would be a complete and thorough Spirit Severing fleshly body, compatible with my Cultivation base…. I could definitely slaughter someone of the First Severing!” His eyes flickered and he took a deep breath. With that, he continued to fly on toward the graveyard.\nAs Meng Hao looked around, his heart throbbed with pain. He continued on forward until he caught sight of a familiar location up ahead. The glow of a restrictive spell could be seen glittering, and Meng Hao’s heart calmed down a bit.\nIt was the tomb of Ke Yunhai!\nThe tomb of a paragon. Inside was no corpse, only a small bronze lamp, long since extinguished.\nOutside of the tomb were layer after layer of restrictive spells. They filled the entire area with flickering light, and would prevent any outsider from entering.\nMeng Hao landed just outside the restrictive spells and looked at Ke Yunhai’s tomb silently. An indeterminable amount of time passed. Tears rolled down his face.\nAfter a long time, he kneeled down and gently knocked his head against the ground three times as he kowtowed to Ke Yunhai’s tomb.\nThen he looked up and murmured, “Thank you, sir. You’re not really my father, but in that ancient illusion, you allowed me to feel the love of a father. You allowed me to be your son during that life.” Finally, he stood up and turned around. He no longer felt melancholy, but rather, his face glowed with the unswerving determination of a Cultivator.\nAs of this moment, Meng Hao was now fully awakened from the dream!\n“Come on out,” he said lightly. “You’ve been waiting for a while now. If you don’t reveal yourself, then I’ll just leave.”\nAs his voice echoed about, a completely ordinary area not too far off suddenly began to ripple and distort. A woman appeared. She was… incredibly beautiful, with bright eyes, and a way of moving that exuded feminine charm. It was none other than Zhixiang.\n“I guessed that you would come here to offer your respects to Ke Yunhai,” she said with a smile. “Waiting here saved me a bit of effort in tracking you down.”\nMeng Hao didn’t respond, but looked toward the area behind the Seventh Peak. Past the graveyard was the area that previously had been enveloped by boundless mists. Now, though, there was no mist to be seen whatsoever.\nThe two enormous statues were also gone. The only thing visible was an enormous bright shield that shot up from within the ground and emanated an imperceptible glow.\nThis was a restrictive spell that covered a massive area. It might seem ordinary, but it was powerful enough to eradicate Immortals!\nThe area it protected was so important that the restrictive spell was fearsomely powerful even down to this day. In fact… throughout all the years in which the Primordial Demon Immortal Plane had been opened, no one had ever been able to enter the area beyond.\nThat was a truly forbidden area! No one was allowed to enter inside. Anyone who tried to do so ended up dead.\n“Let’s go,” said Meng Hao coolly. As he began to move forward, Zhixiang smiled and then sped off into the air with him.\nAs they shot forward, Zhixiang felt a bit proud of herself. Back in the Second Plane, when they traveled this same path, she had been filled with incredible excitement. Now that they were in the Third Plane, she was sure that she wasn’t the only one to be feeling excited.\nThinking about this caused Zhixiang to smile. She increased her speed, passing up Meng Hao. He watched her as she passed, but didn’t say anything.\nThe two of them proceeded on in that way, moving at top speed until they reached the glowing restrictive spell shield. This was actually the same location where the statues and the door of swords had been located previously.\nZhixiang’s face was solemn. She took a deep breath as she pulled out her third class qualification command medallion from within her robe. She cautiously extended the command medallion forward until it touched the glowing shield. Suddenly, the shield in front of her began to flicker. Ripples spread out which then turned into waves that spread out across the entire restrictive spell.\nA droning sound could be heard, echoing out in all directions. At the same time, a faint, low-pitched voice could be heard, filled with weakness and exhaustion.\n“Third class qualifications. Where do you intend to go?” The rumbling voice sounded incredibly weak, and yet still awe-inspiring.\n“The Demon Immortal Cistern!” replied Zhixiang immediately, taking in a deep breath.\n“According to the regulations, you may travel thirty percent of the paths in this place, and may stay for no more than 38 hours.”\nThe wording was exactly the same as before. Zhixiang was nearly exploding with excitement as a wide fissure appeared in the shield in front of her. She took a deep breath and then looked over at Meng Hao with a look of complacency.\nIn accordance with his agreement with her, Meng Hao followed her into the fissure, his expression the same as ever. His expression was normal, but inwardly, he was on guard, unsure of whether the method being used by Zhixiang would actually work.\nAs soon as she reached the fissure, Zhixiang passed through effortlessly. However, as for Meng Hao, a beam of light from the restrictive spell shot toward him. It instantly enveloped him, almost like a bubble, locking his feet in place.\nHe was stuck inside the light, incapable of moving, but able to speak. His eyes cold, he said, “Zhixiang, what is the meaning of this!?”\nZhixiang turned back suddenly, her expression one of shock and worry.\n“Impossible,” she said. “You left a mark inside, plus I have third-class qualifications. I should be able to take an extra person inside, especially one who left a mark. Could it be… that your mark was somehow erased?”\nMeng Hao’s eyes glittered. It was at this exact moment that the weak voice suddenly could be heard again.\n“Paragon’s qualifications. You may go anywhere you wish, and stay inside indefinitely.”\nAs soon as the voice could be heard, the bubble popped. His body returned to normal, and he walked forward through the restrictive spell as easily as if he were walking down a level path.\nZhixiang stared, her eyes wide with disbelief. She took a few steps back and looked blankly at Meng Hao.\n“This is impossible! We’re in reality now, not the ancient illusion. In the ancient illusion, you had the identity of Ke Jiusi, but here in the Third Plane, you’re you! How could you be a Paragon?!”\nMeng Hao’s expression was the same as ever, but inside, he was filled with great waves of shock and confusion. It was exactly as Zhixiang said, and yet, what had happened just now really had happened!\nHe was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “We were able to leave marks here. Apparently, leaving vestiges of an identity isn’t that hard either. It’s just something special that you can do in the Second Plane, right?”\n“But this is different,” said Zhixiang, her eyes wide. “The ancient illusion is Night…. It’s… it’s illusory. The marks are like memories. Hmm….” Suddenly she gasped and looked at Meng Hao with a complicated expression. “I understand. It’s Night! Night remembers you!”\n“Night?” asked Meng Hao, his eyes glittering. He had long since come to the conclusion that Zhixiang knew a lot more about the Demon Immortal Sect than what she had told him. For example, Night.\nMeng Hao thought back to when he had first entered the Second Plane. He had heard someone on one of the mountain peaks giving a sermon about the Dao. He had mentioned a true spirit whose name was Night! [1. The sermon which mentioned Night happened in chapter 567. Don't forget that Night apparently spoke during that same chapter!]\n“It’s not that I was trying to hide something from you,” she said. “According to Sect rules, we aren’t allowed to divulge such information to outsiders. However, since Night remembers you, then it doesn’t really matter if I tell you. In Heaven and Earth, there are true spirits. As to how many exactly there are, I’m not sure.\n“I only know that they are very, very uncommon. In fact, there are only ten or less!\n“True spirits are completely unique in all Heaven and Earth!\n“There is one whose name is Night. According to the legends, when it closes it eyes, the world is a dream. When it opens its eyes, the dream is shattered, and everything returns to the void.\n“There is some destiny that exists between it and the Demon Immortal Sect. Therefore, it took up residence within the Sect, and became its true Demon guardian.\nMeng Hao was shaken inwardly. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “Where is it…?”\n“It is beneath our feet, within the lands of the First Heaven. As for what it looks like, I don’t know. All I know is that according to the stories that have been passed down from ancient times, true spirits are inauspicious. Some people have even said that the reason the Demon Immortal Sect fell was because of it. When the Sect was destroyed, no one could kill it, not even Lord Ji. Although, even if he had the power to do it, killing a true spirit is an extreme taboo.\nGreat waves of shock roared through Meng Hao. He began to breathe heavily as he looked at Zhixiang.\n“You’re telling me that the ancient illusion we experienced was simply Night’s dream?”" } ]
第600章 真灵——夜！ 远遁的柳子川，听到了这句话，若是没与孟浩出手之前，他必定是冷笑不屑，但眼下，他能深刻的感受到，孟浩话语里的杀机与不容置疑。 那是不管自己这里有什么身份，那孟浩都可毫不迟疑的说杀就杀！ “如果与其他人联手……”柳子川双眼一闪，但很快就黯淡下来，因为他发现，哪怕是经过了之前的一战，可他居然对孟浩的真正实力，竟……还没有了解与判断。 他只知道对方深不可测，根本就没出全力，但到底出了几成，他猜测不出。 “这样的人，还是少招惹为妙。” 柳子川远去时，孟浩收回目光，收了第三命，身体恢复到了第一命的状态，闭目感受了片刻，孟浩睁开双眼时，他的目中露出了属于强者的精芒。 “此刻的强弱不太好判断，不过若我能第一命下，拥有第七命的肉身强悍，那么开启第七命后，我必定肉身斩灵！ 那是彻彻底底的肉身斩灵，配合我的修为……我可斩杀斩灵第一刀！” 孟浩双眼一闪，深吸口气，身体刹那飞出，直奔远处葬域而去。 孟浩看到这里，心里刺痛了一下，他立刻前行，直至看到了不远处熟悉的区域里，存在的一抹禁制之光时。 他的心才放了下来。 那是一处墓地，柯云海的墓地！ 至尊之坟，那坟里葬着的不是尸骨，而是一盏熄灭的青铜灯。 在这墓地外，存在着一层禁制光芒，此光笼罩四周，时而闪烁，防止外人踏入其内。 孟浩身体落下，站在禁制外，望着柯云海的墓。 沉默下来，不知何时，他的脸上已有了泪痕。 许久。 他跪在地上，向着那柯云海的坟，轻轻的磕了三个头。 “爹，让我最后叫您一声爹……在那虚幻的一辈子里，谢谢您，谢谢您……”孟浩默默的看着柯云海的坟，许久，他站起了身，在转身的一瞬，他的双眼不再是惆怅，而是露出了身为修士的坚毅。 直至这一刻，孟浩才算真正的从梦里走出！ “出来吧，你既已等了很久，此刻不出，我便走了。” 孟浩在转身的瞬间，沉声开口。 他话语回荡，立刻从不远处，一片看起来寻常之地，突然虚无扭曲，走出了一个女子，这女子……有着绝美的容颜，明媚的双眼，举手投足，带着一股天然的媚态，正是芷香。 “我一猜，你定会来到这里祭奠柯云海，果然在这里，就省去了寻你的周折。” 芷香笑着开口。 孟浩没有说话，而是看向这第七峰后，除了葬域外，另一处区域，曾经的那里，被无穷的苍茫雾气所笼罩，而如今的那里，看去时已没有了雾气。 就连那两尊巨大的雕像，也都不存在了，能看到的，是在那里，有一个巨大的光罩，倒扣在大地上，散发出微不可查的光芒。 这是禁制，一大片区域，看似寻常，可却能灭仙的禁制！ 哪怕到了如今，因这片区域的重要性，所以这里的禁制，依旧强悍到恐怖的程度，甚至……多少年来，妖仙宗的数次开启，都从来没有人能踏入那片区域中。 那里，是禁地！ 不允许任何人踏入，所有尝试要踏入之人，最终全部死亡。 “走吧。” 孟浩淡淡开口，向前走去，芷香微笑，与孟浩一起，向着那片苍茫疾驰。 前行时，芷香内心略有得意，曾经在第二境界里，他们走在同样的路上，她被强烈的刺激到，眼下在这第三境界中，她相信，受到刺激的，绝不会是自己。 芷香想到这里，微微一笑，速度更快，一跃就超过了孟浩，走在了前方，孟浩看了眼芷香的背影，没有说什么。 二人一前一后，很快就来到了禁制光罩外，这里，也就是曾经那两座雕像，剑门所在。 芷香神色有些严肃，深吸口气，从怀里取出了那枚代表第三等资格的令牌，在光罩外，小心翼翼的将这令牌前伸，直至在碰触光罩的刹那，忽然在芷香的前方，光罩急速的闪耀起来，起了波纹，成了涟漪，瞬间激荡整个禁制。 阵阵嗡鸣声，也随之回荡开来，与此同时，低沉的声音，带着虚弱与疲惫，也在这一瞬，于这四周，隐隐传出。 “三等资格，所去何地？” 嗡鸣之声，尽管虚弱，可也有森然，回荡八方。 “妖仙池！” 芷香深吸口气，立刻开口。 “符合规则，可通此地三成路，可留此地十九时辰。” 与曾经一模一样的话语，让芷香激动不已，她面前的光幕，直接开启了一道缝隙，芷香深吸口气，回头带着得意看先孟浩。 按照与她的约定，孟浩神色如常，走了过来，二人一起，从这裂缝内正要踏入，孟浩看似平静，可实际上内心也有警惕，他不知芷香的方法是否管用。 可就在他二人碰触这裂缝的瞬间，芷香顺利的走入进去，而孟浩这里，则是身体轰然一震，竟被一道禁制之光，刹那降临，笼罩身体，仿佛被一个气泡包围，凝固了脚步。 “芷香你是何意！” 孟浩在这禁制之光内，身体无法行动，但可说话，双眼刹那一冷。 芷香在内猛的回头，神色露出焦急，更有吃惊。 “不可能，你在里面有烙印，而我的三等资格，是可以带一个人进去，只要里面有你的烙印，莫非……莫非你的烙印被抹去了？” 孟浩双眼一闪，就在这时，忽然的，那虚弱的声音，再次传出。 “至尊资格，此地全通，时间无限。” 这声音一出现，孟浩身体外的气泡，立刻破碎，他身体立刻恢复如常，迈步间，轻而易举，如履平地般，走进了禁制内。 芷香睁大了眼，露出无法置信，身体退后几步，呆呆的看着孟浩。 “不可能，这里是真实的世界，不是虚幻的远古，你在远古里有柯云海的身份，可如今在这第三境界内，你就是你，怎么会是至尊！” 孟浩看似神色如常，但内心也掀起了大浪，此事他无法理解，的确如芷香所说，可眼下的事实却有是这样！ “我们能在这里留下印记，那么留下一些身份的痕迹，想来也不是难事，这不正是第二境界里，所特有的收获么。” 孟浩沉默片刻，缓缓开口。 芷香说道这里，忽然睁大了眼，似想到了什么，她深吸口气，复杂的看着孟浩。 “我明白了，是夜，它记住了你！” “夜？” 孟浩双眼一闪，他早就知道芷香对于妖仙宗的了解远非曾经与他说的那些，有很多地方并没有对自己说出。 如这夜，就是这样。 孟浩想到了自己刚刚踏入第二境界时，听到的其他山峰的将道之声，里面就提到过有一种真灵，叫做夜！ “此事并非我想瞒你，而是宗规，不可外露，不过你既然能被夜记住，我告诉也没有关系，天地有真灵，具体几尊，我不知道。 只知道很少很少，十尊以内！” “真灵，是天地间独一无二！” “其中一尊，其名夜，传说它闭上眼，世界就是一场梦，它睁开双目，梦就会破碎，一切皆空。 芷香复杂的开口，孟浩听到这里，立刻就想到了第三峰与第四峰之间的那个巨大的深坑。 “它在……”孟浩心神震动，迟疑了一下。 “它就在我们的脚下，在妖仙宗第一重天的大地内，它是什么样子，我也不知道，我只知道，远古以来有传闻，真灵是不详之物，妖仙宗陨落，甚至后来有人说是它的原因，宗门被灭时，没有人能杀死它，就算是季主，尽管有这个能力，但杀了真灵，似有极大的忌讳之处。 孟浩的心，突然间强烈的轰鸣震动，他呼吸急促，望着芷香。 “你说，我们经历的虚幻远古，只是它的一场梦？”
Chapter 600: True SpiritNight! As Liu Zichuan fled off into the distance, he heard what Meng Hao said. If Meng Hao hadn’t made a move against him just now, he surely would have laughed coldly with disdain. Right now, though, he could unquestionably sense Meng Hao’s killing intent deep in his bones.

However, if I could achieve the fleshly body strength of the Seventh Anima while only in the First Anima, then when I entered the Seventh Anima, I would definitely have a Spirit Severing fleshly body! “That would be a complete and thorough Spirit Severing fleshly body, compatible with my Cultivation base….

Inside was no corpse, only a small bronze lamp, long since extinguished. Outside of the tomb were layer after layer of restrictive spells. They filled the entire area with flickering light, and would prevent any outsider from entering. Meng Hao landed just outside the restrictive spells and looked at Ke Yunhai’s tomb silently. An indeterminable amount of time passed. Tears rolled down his face. After a long time, he kneeled down and gently knocked his head against the ground three times as he kowtowed to Ke Yunhai’s tomb.

If you don’t reveal yourself, then I’ll just leave.” As his voice echoed about, a completely ordinary area not too far off suddenly began to ripple and distort. A woman appeared. She was… incredibly beautiful, with bright eyes, and a way of moving that exuded feminine charm. It was none other than Zhixiang. “I guessed that you would come here to offer your respects to Ke Yunhai,” she said with a smile. “Waiting here saved me a bit of effort in tracking you down.” Meng Hao didn’t respond, but looked toward the area behind the Seventh Peak. Past the graveyard was the area that previously had been enveloped by boundless mists. Now, though, there was no mist to be seen whatsoever. The two enormous statues were also gone. The only thing visible was an enormous bright shield that shot up from within the ground and emanated an imperceptible glow. This was a restrictive spell that covered a massive area. It might seem ordinary, but it was powerful enough to eradicate Immortals! The area it protected was so important that the restrictive spell was fearsomely powerful even down to this day. In fact… throughout all the years in which the Primordial Demon Immortal Plane had been opened, no one had ever been able to enter the area beyond. That was a truly forbidden area! No one was allowed to enter inside. Anyone who tried to do so ended up dead. “Let’s go,” said Meng Hao coolly. As he began to move forward, Zhixiang smiled and then sped off into the air with him. As they shot forward, Zhixiang felt a bit proud of herself. Back in the Second Plane, when they traveled this same path, she had been filled with incredible excitement. Now that they were in the Third Plane, she was sure that she wasn’t the only one to be feeling excited. Thinking about this caused Zhixiang to smile. She increased her speed, passing up Meng Hao. He watched her as she passed, but didn’t say anything. The two of them proceeded on in that way, moving at top speed until they reached the glowing restrictive spell shield. This was actually the same location where the statues and the door of swords had been located previously. Zhixiang’s face was solemn. She took a deep breath as she pulled out her third class qualification command medallion from within her robe. She cautiously extended the command medallion forward until it touched the glowing shield. Suddenly, the shield in front of her began to flicker. Ripples spread out which then turned into waves that spread out across the entire restrictive spell. A droning sound could be heard, echoing out in all directions. At the same time, a faint, low-pitched voice could be heard, filled with weakness and exhaustion. “Third class qualifications. Where do you intend to go?” The rumbling voice sounded incredibly weak, and yet still awe-inspiring. “The Demon Immortal Cistern!” replied Zhixiang immediately, taking in a deep breath. “According to the regulations, you may travel thirty percent of the paths in this place, and may stay for no more than 38 hours.” The wording was exactly the same as before. Zhixiang was nearly exploding with excitement as a wide fissure appeared in the shield in front of her. She took a deep breath and then looked over at Meng Hao with a look of complacency. In accordance with his agreement with her, Meng Hao followed her into the fissure, his expression the same as ever. His expression was normal, but inwardly, he was on guard, unsure of whether the method being used by Zhixiang would actually work. As soon as she reached the fissure, Zhixiang passed through effortlessly. However, as for Meng Hao, a beam of light from the restrictive spell shot toward him. It instantly enveloped him, almost like a bubble, locking his feet in place. He was stuck inside the light, incapable of moving, but able to speak. His eyes cold, he said, “Zhixiang, what is the meaning of this!?” Zhixiang turned back suddenly, her expression one of shock and worry. “Impossible,” she said. “You left a mark inside, plus I have third-class qualifications. I should be able to take an extra person inside, especially one who left a mark. Could it be… that your mark was somehow erased?” Meng Hao’s eyes glittered. It was at this exact moment that the weak voice suddenly could be heard again. “Paragon’s qualifications. You may go anywhere you wish, and stay inside indefinitely.” As soon as the voice could be heard, the bubble popped. His body returned to normal, and he walked forward through the restrictive spell as easily as if he were walking down a level path. Zhixiang stared, her eyes wide with disbelief. She took a few steps back and looked blankly at Meng Hao. “This is impossible! We’re in reality now, not the ancient illusion. In the ancient illusion, you had the identity of Ke Jiusi, but here in the Third Plane, you’re you! How could you be a Paragon?!” Meng Hao’s expression was the same as ever, but inside, he was filled with great waves of shock and confusion. It was exactly as Zhixiang said, and yet, what had happened just now really had happened! He was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “We were able to leave marks here. Apparently, leaving vestiges of an identity isn’t that hard either. It’s just something special that you can do in the Second Plane, right?” “But this is different,” said Zhixiang, her eyes wide. “The ancient illusion is Night…. It’s… it’s illusory. The marks are like memories. Hmm….” Suddenly she gasped and looked at Meng Hao with a complicated expression. “I understand. It’s Night! Night remembers you!” “Night?” asked Meng Hao, his eyes glittering. He had long since come to the conclusion that Zhixiang knew a lot more about the Demon Immortal Sect than what she had told him. For example, Night. Meng Hao thought back to when he had first entered the Second Plane. He had heard someone on one of the mountain peaks giving a sermon about the Dao. He had mentioned a true spirit whose name was Night! [1. The sermon which mentioned Night happened in chapter 567. Don't forget that Night apparently spoke during that same chapter!] “It’s not that I was trying to hide something from you,” she said. “According to Sect rules, we aren’t allowed to divulge such information to outsiders. However, since Night remembers you, then it doesn’t really matter if I tell you. In Heaven and Earth, there are true spirits. As to how many exactly there are, I’m not sure. “I only know that they are very, very uncommon. In fact, there are only ten or less! “True spirits are completely unique in all Heaven and Earth! “There is one whose name is Night. According to the legends, when it closes it eyes, the world is a dream. When it opens its eyes, the dream is shattered, and everything returns to the void. “There is some destiny that exists between it and the Demon Immortal Sect. Therefore, it took up residence within the Sect, and became its true Demon guardian. Meng Hao was shaken inwardly. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “Where is it…?” “It is beneath our feet, within the lands of the First Heaven. As for what it looks like, I don’t know. All I know is that according to the stories that have been passed down from ancient times, true spirits are inauspicious. Some people have even said that the reason the Demon Immortal Sect fell was because of it. When the Sect was destroyed, no one could kill it, not even Lord Ji. Although, even if he had the power to do it, killing a true spirit is an extreme taboo. Great waves of shock roared through Meng Hao. He began to breathe heavily as he looked at Zhixiang. “You’re telling me that the ancient illusion we experienced was simply Night’s dream?”

He had originally been prepared to fork out anything for Xinfeng to leave. Until now, he couldn’t understand how a young man had such powerful strength, a True Lun Yin Master had forced him, a True Milun Master feel so inferior? He had felt that all these years he had lived was wasted, after living for so long, he was actually inferior to a child.\nXinfeng paddled as the boat moved as though an arrow, speedily cutting through the reed marshes. However, he didn’t enter too deeply, but actually hid at the edge of the reed marshes, not because he was afraid of Wan Yu Zhou, but a terrifying aura he had sensed to greatly threaten himself.\nTherefore, he didn’t continue to bother with Wan Yu Zhou, since he didn’t suffer any losses anyway, it would be best to leave. Even hiding at the sides peeping would be safer than staying at the middle of the wide, open lake. If there was really a powerful expert, just by observing, he could easily understand many situations, and with his strength as a True Lun Yin master, he was simply an eye-catching beacon.\nHowever, Wan Yu Zhou wasn’t as sensitive. After all he was a True Milun master, without reaching a certain point, he wouldn’t possess the ability to sense this kind of danger.\nSeeing Xinfeng enter the reed marshes, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief, with doubt still in his heart. This reed marsh was very famous locally, named the Great Maze Marsh. If one were to enter carelessly, they were basically doomed, countless fishermen had died in it, therefore, this reed marsh was a forbidden area, with no one daring to enter.\nSeeing him enter it, Wan Yu Zhou couldn’t help but silently laugh coldly, it was best if this kid were to die in there, after all, he was such a big threat.\n“Let’s go!”\nWan Yu Zhou commanded, they were still fighting after all, Xinfeng’s appearance had forced their experts to come over, weakening their overall strength, now he was gone, they had to swiftly return.\nTherefore, the crew immediately turned the boats to return.\nAfter entering the reed mashes, Xinfeng avoided the cross roads as he stopped the boat at a waterway and placed down his anchor stone, stabilizing the boat at the side of the reed marsh as he entered the reeds, he wanted to find out, what gave him such a threatening feeling.\nBetween the reed marshes, he could clearly see the battle at the lake’s surface. They continued to fight fiercely, with cacophonous screaming traveling across the lake, black smoke rising from the burning small boats.\nIn the reed marshes were extremely deep layers of mud, but the crisscrossing reeds that laid below him managed to fully support Xinfeng’s weight, allowing him to silently watch the battle going before him.\nThat threatening feeling became stronger as Xinfeng carefully had his body sink into the mud, revealing only his head as he scanned the water’s surface, not understanding who’s aura was so threatening, that even rivaled the aura of his grandpa, who would reveal such a threatening feel when he faced his enemies.\nReaching such a level, practitioners would be extremely sensitive. Of course, if the opponent was much, much stronger, they would not sense them.\nThe battle became crueler as practicers joined the fray, their participation an omen to the mortals. Quickly, the practitioners of both sides started to fight, Ten Thousand Lun Masters against Ten Thousand Lun Masters, Milun Masters against Milun masters, as only practitioners can stop practitioners, while True Masters did not participate.\nAn extremely sharp whistle suddenly came from afar.\nAs Xinfeng who was holding his breath in silence, the sound was very clear to him, while the fighting men on the water’s surface failed to hear it.\nThe whistle became louder and louder as Xinfeng reacted. Someone was speedily flying in the sky, therefore creating such a sound. This was a extremely powerful expert, to be able to fly, Xinfeng who had condensed his Third True Ring body, a True Lun Yin Master, was still incapable of flight. Those who could, were a level much, much higher than his.\nA red streak appeared at the west, and within a few seconds, the whistling sound had suddenly increased greatly in sound, causing the fighting men on the lake to all look up, weakening the battle.\nSomeone shouted in shock suddenly from a sneak attack, but there were still people who stared sillily at the sky, while the practitioners all threw in the towel. They understood more than mortals did, they knew what it meant for someone capable of flight.\nThat red thread in the sky suddenly stopped as a human silhouette appeared immediately, such an abrupt stop inciting shouts of shock from the lake.\nYet another streak of light appeared, this time gold in color. Xinfeng knew clearly that the red light belonged to a fire attribute while the gold belonged to a dirt attribute, their strength reaching a terrifying extent.\nXinfeng started guessing their strength, to be able to fly, he naturally couldn’t see their level, but he had a baseline to start from. Practitioners who could fly were all above the Ring level, therefore, these two were at least a True Yin Master.\nTrue Yin Masters were already the pinnacle of strength. Such high leveled practicers looked up by normal practitioners, they were existences which could easily destroy a sect without worrying about revenge.\nXinfeng didn’t move in the mud as he peeped towards the sky through the reeds, he had lowered his presence to the minimum, hoping to avoid detection.\nThe golden thread stopped as a silhouette appeared.\nThe two figures stopped without a single exchange of words, the two of them attacked each other. More accurately, the fire attributed practitioner attacked the dirt attributed practitioner first.\nA fireball the size of a soccer ball shot out as the dirt attributed practicers threw a punch, it was just like a threat, raising his fist, a golden shield appeared suddenly before it. Hong!\nThe red fireball hit the shield, creating a heaven shaking sound as the dirt attributed practitioner was shot afar towards where Xinfeng hid, inciting the curses of Xinfeng.\nThis exchange of blows had caused the fireball to burst, inciting countless sparks to descend, but as they were too small, no one bothered with them, but who knew those sparks that landed on the boats, set every single one of them on fire, regardless of their size. That fire was impossible to extinguish, the Sparks made of Yinli could only be extinguished by Yinli.\nSparks that descended on the lake similarly set it on fire, the flames floating above the lake.\nInstantly, countless men danced within the flames, as the remaining few jumped into the lake helplessly, seeing how they couldn’t save their friends. In a moment, only a few lucky unscathed small boats were left, with at least thousands dead, a small ripple of a battle had easily reaped losses for both sides. Xinfeng looked on with squinted eyes.\nThe fire attributed was a young lady with features he couldn’t see, due to the fact that she was floating in the sky, dressed in a red long dress, her appearance was like a fairy’s as she floated.\nThe other dirt attributed practitioner, a young lady wearing gold colored armor with similarly undistinguishable features. Even as a True Lun Yin Master with his Third True Ring Body, Xinfeng couldn’t see clearly either. The only thing he could sense was that these two ladies were not old.\nIgnoring the humans below them, the two stopped at nothing as they started battling.\nXinfeng was instantly shocked. Within the first moment he had noticed that they were women, young ladies at that, but what he didn’t understand was how these two ladies were so powerful, to such an extent.\nThe two of them continued battling as the ripples of their attacks affected the waters below them. Even Xinfeng was affected, a few sparks that had headed his way had forced him to immediately dive into the waters, escaping from the reed mashes that was immediately set on fire as he did.\nWith the wind blowing, the fire almost immediately started spreading.\nTurning behind for a peek, Xinfeng knew that his boat was doomed. This fire was simply too strong for a small boat to resist, quickly, even these reed marshes would be swallowed by the flames.\nAs they fought, curses started coming from their mouths, their voice clear and resounding.\n“Qi Mei Yun! Enough! Big bastard……if you’re not afraid of master’s punishment, continue fighting!”\n“Yin Yao, you little bastard! I won’t let you off!”\nThe red dress wearing practitioner was Yin Yao, while the gold armored woman was Qi Mei Yun.\nXinfeng could feel the heat behind him as dissatisfaction raged in his heart before it was replaced by shock, if these two were already so abnormally powerful, how scary would the master behind them be?\nThe two of them exchanged a few more blows before they left, with one chasing the other, the waters below them filled with pained cries. Both sides had suffered heavy losses, among them including practitioners, the low leveled practicers which had caught on fire were burned to death even after jumping into the waters, it was basically inescapable.\nXinfeng swam back to the burning reed marshes, and of course, his small boat had caught on fire. With the shake of his head, Xinfeng could only go over to retrieve his paddle, it was made of pure steel after all, therefore it had value of keeping.\nXinfeng kept his attention on the remaining small boats. One must know, the boats of the two sides totaled to three thousand and the men totaled to thirty thousand, while there was only hundreds of small boats left and thousands of men left, it was truly a big loss.\nHowever, Xinfeng felt no sympathy, the main reason being that these men had already left bad impressions of themselves with him from the beginning.

第十五章 万雨舟看着雷星峰离开，他没有敢阻挡，心里却大大的松口气，原本只要雷星峰离开，让他付出一定的代价，他也绝对同意，他心里想不通一个少年，为什么有那么强大的实力，轮印真人，让他这个一环真身的密轮真人，情何以堪，他感觉自己的年龄都活到狗的身上去了，一把年纪还不如一个孩子。 雷星峰摇着摇橹，小船犹如箭般，飞快的窜入芦荡，不过，这次他没有深入进去，而是躲在芦荡边缘，不是他怕万雨舟，而是发现了一股恐怖的气息，隐隐威胁到自己。 所以他根本就没有心情和万雨舟继续纠缠，反正也没有什么损失，还是离开比较好，哪怕躲在一边偷看，也比站在空旷湖面的船上保险，要知道真正厉害的高手，一眼扫去，就能了解大致的情况，以他一个轮印真人的实力，那简直就是一盏明灯般的醒目。 万雨舟就没有那么敏感的感觉，毕竟他才是密轮真人，实力没有达到一定的程度，是感应不到这种威胁。 他看着雷星峰进入了芦荡，不由得大大的松口气，心里还是有点疑惑，这片芦荡在本地非常有名，被称为大迷荡，如果不小心进入其中，基本上很少有人能够活着出来，有无数的渔民死在其中，因此这片芦荡是一处禁区，没人敢进入。 雷星峰进入芦荡，万雨舟忍不住暗自冷笑，他才不会提醒，死在里面最好，这小家伙给他的威胁太大了。 “我们走！” 万雨舟下令道，他们这边还在打仗，冒出一个雷星峰，逼得他们抽出核心的高手出来解决问题，让他们的实力减弱到危险地步，他必须带着人赶快回去。 船队立即向回而去。 雷星峰进入芦荡后，根本就没有进入岔路上，而是将渔船靠在水道一边，并且下了碇石，将小船固定在芦荡边，他直接进入芦苇丛中，他要搞清楚，是什么玩意给自己那么大的威胁感。 从芦荡的缝隙中，可以清晰的看到湖面战场，依旧打得热火朝天，喊杀声一阵阵传来，黑烟滚滚，那是烧着小船冒起的浓烟。 芦苇荡中，有着极深的淤泥，不过纵横交错的芦苇根系完全可以撑起雷星峰的重量，他静静的看着双方的战斗。 那威胁的感觉越来越强烈，他小心的将身体沉入淤泥中，只露出一颗脑袋，眼睛不停的扫过水面，他想不通是什么人有如此大的威胁，他甚至有面对阿爷的感觉，阿爷对敌的时候，散发出的气息，很有点这种威胁的味道。 修炼者达到某种程度，感觉是极其灵敏的，当然，对方若是高的太多，就会感受不到。 战斗越来越残酷，一些修炼者也陆续加入其中，这些修炼者加入，对于普通人而言就是灾难，很快，双方的修炼者就打在一起，能够阻止修炼者的人，必须自己也是修炼者，万轮师对万轮师，密轮师对密轮师，只有真人级的高手没有出来。 一声极其尖利的呼啸声，从极其遥远的空中隐隐传来。 由于雷星峰屏气宁息，所以他听得很明白，而水面战斗的人，根本就不可能听到，依旧拼死战斗。 那呼啸声越来越响，雷星峰也反应过来，这是有人在空中高速飞行，引起的呼啸声，这是一个超级大高手，他心目中，能够飞行的绝对是厉害的高手，就算他现在凝结三环真身，是轮印真人了，依旧不可能飞，可想而知，能够飞行的人，要比他高多少。 一道红线在西边出现，也就是几秒钟的时间，那呼啸声猛然增大，这次湖面上战斗的人，都仰头看去，战斗无形中也减弱下来。 有人惊叫，有人趁机偷袭，也有人傻傻的看着天空，其中修炼者全都罢手，他们比普通人更加了解，能够飞在空中是什么样的存在。 那道红线陡然停止，随即就出现一个人影，就这么突兀的悬停在空中，湖面上一片惊呼声。 又是一道光，这次是一道金线，雷星峰很清楚，红线一定是火属性，金线这是土属性，这两人实力高到吓人的程度。 都能飞行，雷星峰开始猜测两人的实力，以他的实力是看不穿对方到底是什么层次的修炼者，但是他有一个基本的判断，凡是能飞的修炼者，必定是六环以上真身才能做到，也就是说，这两人最少都是印真人。 印真人已经是高端武力了，一般的修炼者，对于这种阶层的高手，都要用仰视的目光，他们绝对可以不费力的解决一个中小型门派，一点也不用担心到报复。 雷星峰一动不动的伏在淤泥中，透过芦苇向天空中偷窥，他将自身的气息收敛到最低，希望对方不会发现自己。 金线在天空中一顿，接着一个人影出现。 两个人影停下，竟然一句话也没有，两人同时发起攻击，准确的说，火系的修炼者，攻击土性修炼者一记。 一团只有足球大小的火球飞出，土性修炼者，只是微微纂拳，就像是示威一般，举起拳头，陡然在他拳头前，出现一个金色盾牌。 赤红色火球打在盾牌上，发出一声惊天爆炸，土性修炼者被这一炸，直接推着飞了出去，其方向就是雷星峰躲藏的芦荡，雷星峰不由得在心中大骂。 这一击，让那个火球炸开，无数细小的火星飞溅，落了下去，在下方的人也没有在意，那火星实在太小了，根本就不值得关注，谁知道，那火星落在船上，不论大船还是小船，立即就腾起一股股巨大的火焰，而且那火焰是无法扑灭的，开玩笑了，印力生成的火焰，除非用印力去破，不然根本就无法熄灭。 那火焰落在湖面上，一样也是燃起大火，就浮在水面上燃烧。 瞬间，无数人在火焰中舞动，剩下的人眼看着无法扑救船上的火焰，一个个向着湖里跳，片刻，就剩下少数小船幸免外，其他全军覆没，最少要烧死了上千人，这仅仅是余波，就让双方吃了大亏。 火系的修炼者，是一个年轻女子，长相看不清楚，毕竟在高空，全身火红，她穿着红色长裙，仿佛仙女一般，飘然在空中。 另一个土性修炼者，是一个身穿金色铠甲的年轻女人，她的面目同样看不清，哪怕雷星峰已经达到三环真身，是轮印真人，一样也看不清，唯一能够感受到的是，这不是中老年人，而是年轻人。 两人根本就没有在意下方的人群，肆无忌惮的展开大战。 雷星峰惊讶到了极点，他几乎在第一时间就判断出，这是两个女人，而且是两个年轻的女人，让他想不通的是，这两个女人的实力为什么会那么高，简直高的没边了。 两人连续几招拼杀，下方波及的范围更加广泛，甚至雷星峰所在的地方也被波及，几点火星落下，逼得雷星峰立即扑出去，直接扑入湖水中，沿着芦荡游去，瞬间，他躲避的芦荡就燃起了大火。 风借火势，火助风威，也就是几息间，那大火就蔓延出去。 雷星峰回头看了一眼，知道自己的小船完了，这种火势，小船根本就无法幸免，很快就会芦荡蔓延的大火吞没。 两人打着打着就开始骂了起来，那声音当真清亮之极。 “戚梅云！ 你够了吧！ 大混蛋……你不怕师傅责罚，你就继续打！” “尹妖，你个小混蛋！ 我不会放过你的！” 穿红色长裙的是尹妖，穿铠甲的女人是戚梅云。 雷星峰感觉到背后的热力，心里当真是不爽到了极点，也倏然而惊，这两人已经如此变态，身后的师傅该如何恐怖？ 两人又对了几招，这才追逐着离开，而下方则哀嚎一片，无论是哪一方，都是损失惨重，其中也包括修炼者，低级修炼者，身上沾了火焰，就算跳入水中，一样会被活活烧死，根本就不可能幸免。 雷星峰游到熊熊燃烧的芦荡口，果然，他看见了自己的那条小船也烧了起来，微微摇头，雷星峰只好过去，收起摇橹，这东西是纯钢制造，所以还保留下来。 雷星峰的目光关注在仅剩下的小船上，要知道，对战双方的船相加，足有两千接近三千只船，烧的就剩下几百只小船，三万多人，烧的就剩下几千人，当真是死伤惨重。 不过，雷星峰一点同情心也没有，主要一开始这帮人就给他留下恶劣的印象，所以也就不用客气了，他向着剩下的小船快速游去，那速度犹如一条巨大的鱼，在湖面上划出一道白线，飞快的接近小船。 片刻，雷星峰就看到一条小船，他直接从水里窜出，落在了船头。 这条小船上，足有百十人，个个犹如落汤鸡一般，都挤在一起，雷星峰道：“都跳下去！” 小船上的人，顿时大怒，被波及的怒火统统向着雷星峰发作。
Chapter 15: Master’s very powerful Wan Yu Zhou stared as Xinfeng left, not daring to stop him as he sighed in relief. He had originally been prepared to fork out anything for Xinfeng to leave. Until now, he couldn’t understand how a young man had such powerful strength, a True Lun Yin Master had forced him, a True Milun Master feel so inferior? He had felt that all these years he had lived was wasted, after living for so long, he was actually inferior to a child. Xinfeng paddled as the boat moved as though an arrow, speedily cutting through the reed marshes. However, he didn’t enter too deeply, but actually hid at the edge of the reed marshes, not because he was afraid of Wan Yu Zhou, but a terrifying aura he had sensed to greatly threaten himself. Therefore, he didn’t continue to bother with Wan Yu Zhou, since he didn’t suffer any losses anyway, it would be best to leave. Even hiding at the sides peeping would be safer than staying at the middle of the wide, open lake. If there was really a powerful expert, just by observing, he could easily understand many situations, and with his strength as a True Lun Yin master, he was simply an eye-catching beacon. However, Wan Yu Zhou wasn’t as sensitive. After all he was a True Milun master, without reaching a certain point, he wouldn’t possess the ability to sense this kind of danger. Seeing Xinfeng enter the reed marshes, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief, with doubt still in his heart. This reed marsh was very famous locally, named the Great Maze Marsh. If one were to enter carelessly, they were basically doomed, countless fishermen had died in it, therefore, this reed marsh was a forbidden area, with no one daring to enter. Seeing him enter it, Wan Yu Zhou couldn’t help but silently laugh coldly, it was best if this kid were to die in there, after all, he was such a big threat. “Let’s go!” Wan Yu Zhou commanded, they were still fighting after all, Xinfeng’s appearance had forced their experts to come over, weakening their overall strength, now he was gone, they had to swiftly return. Therefore, the crew immediately turned the boats to return. After entering the reed mashes, Xinfeng avoided the cross roads as he stopped the boat at a waterway and placed down his anchor stone, stabilizing the boat at the side of the reed marsh as he entered the reeds, he wanted to find out, what gave him such a threatening feeling. Between the reed marshes, he could clearly see the battle at the lake’s surface. They continued to fight fiercely, with cacophonous screaming traveling across the lake, black smoke rising from the burning small boats. In the reed marshes were extremely deep layers of mud, but the crisscrossing reeds that laid below him managed to fully support Xinfeng’s weight, allowing him to silently watch the battle going before him. That threatening feeling became stronger as Xinfeng carefully had his body sink into the mud, revealing only his head as he scanned the water’s surface, not understanding who’s aura was so threatening, that even rivaled the aura of his grandpa, who would reveal such a threatening feel when he faced his enemies. Reaching such a level, practitioners would be extremely sensitive. Of course, if the opponent was much, much stronger, they would not sense them. The battle became crueler as practicers joined the fray, their participation an omen to the mortals. Quickly, the practitioners of both sides started to fight, Ten Thousand Lun Masters against Ten Thousand Lun Masters, Milun Masters against Milun masters, as only practitioners can stop practitioners, while True Masters did not participate. An extremely sharp whistle suddenly came from afar. As Xinfeng who was holding his breath in silence, the sound was very clear to him, while the fighting men on the water’s surface failed to hear it. The whistle became louder and louder as Xinfeng reacted. Someone was speedily flying in the sky, therefore creating such a sound. This was a extremely powerful expert, to be able to fly, Xinfeng who had condensed his Third True Ring body, a True Lun Yin Master, was still incapable of flight. Those who could, were a level much, much higher than his. A red streak appeared at the west, and within a few seconds, the whistling sound had suddenly increased greatly in sound, causing the fighting men on the lake to all look up, weakening the battle. Someone shouted in shock suddenly from a sneak attack, but there were still people who stared sillily at the sky, while the practitioners all threw in the towel. They understood more than mortals did, they knew what it meant for someone capable of flight. That red thread in the sky suddenly stopped as a human silhouette appeared immediately, such an abrupt stop inciting shouts of shock from the lake. Yet another streak of light appeared, this time gold in color. Xinfeng knew clearly that the red light belonged to a fire attribute while the gold belonged to a dirt attribute, their strength reaching a terrifying extent. Xinfeng started guessing their strength, to be able to fly, he naturally couldn’t see their level, but he had a baseline to start from. Practitioners who could fly were all above the Ring level, therefore, these two were at least a True Yin Master. True Yin Masters were already the pinnacle of strength. Such high leveled practicers looked up by normal practitioners, they were existences which could easily destroy a sect without worrying about revenge. Xinfeng didn’t move in the mud as he peeped towards the sky through the reeds, he had lowered his presence to the minimum, hoping to avoid detection. The golden thread stopped as a silhouette appeared. The two figures stopped without a single exchange of words, the two of them attacked each other. More accurately, the fire attributed practitioner attacked the dirt attributed practitioner first. A fireball the size of a soccer ball shot out as the dirt attributed practicers threw a punch, it was just like a threat, raising his fist, a golden shield appeared suddenly before it. Hong! The red fireball hit the shield, creating a heaven shaking sound as the dirt attributed practitioner was shot afar towards where Xinfeng hid, inciting the curses of Xinfeng. This exchange of blows had caused the fireball to burst, inciting countless sparks to descend, but as they were too small, no one bothered with them, but who knew those sparks that landed on the boats, set every single one of them on fire, regardless of their size. That fire was impossible to extinguish, the Sparks made of Yinli could only be extinguished by Yinli. Sparks that descended on the lake similarly set it on fire, the flames floating above the lake. Instantly, countless men danced within the flames, as the remaining few jumped into the lake helplessly, seeing how they couldn’t save their friends. In a moment, only a few lucky unscathed small boats were left, with at least thousands dead, a small ripple of a battle had easily reaped losses for both sides. Xinfeng looked on with squinted eyes. The fire attributed was a young lady with features he couldn’t see, due to the fact that she was floating in the sky, dressed in a red long dress, her appearance was like a fairy’s as she floated. The other dirt attributed practitioner, a young lady wearing gold colored armor with similarly undistinguishable features. Even as a True Lun Yin Master with his Third True Ring Body, Xinfeng couldn’t see clearly either. The only thing he could sense was that these two ladies were not old. Ignoring the humans below them, the two stopped at nothing as they started battling. Xinfeng was instantly shocked. Within the first moment he had noticed that they were women, young ladies at that, but what he didn’t understand was how these two ladies were so powerful, to such an extent. The two of them continued battling as the ripples of their attacks affected the waters below them. Even Xinfeng was affected, a few sparks that had headed his way had forced him to immediately dive into the waters, escaping from the reed mashes that was immediately set on fire as he did. With the wind blowing, the fire almost immediately started spreading. Turning behind for a peek, Xinfeng knew that his boat was doomed. This fire was simply too strong for a small boat to resist, quickly, even these reed marshes would be swallowed by the flames. As they fought, curses started coming from their mouths, their voice clear and resounding. “Qi Mei Yun! Enough! Big bastard……if you’re not afraid of master’s punishment, continue fighting!” “Yin Yao, you little bastard! I won’t let you off!” The red dress wearing practitioner was Yin Yao, while the gold armored woman was Qi Mei Yun. Xinfeng could feel the heat behind him as dissatisfaction raged in his heart before it was replaced by shock, if these two were already so abnormally powerful, how scary would the master behind them be? The two of them exchanged a few more blows before they left, with one chasing the other, the waters below them filled with pained cries. Both sides had suffered heavy losses, among them including practitioners, the low leveled practicers which had caught on fire were burned to death even after jumping into the waters, it was basically inescapable. Xinfeng swam back to the burning reed marshes, and of course, his small boat had caught on fire. With the shake of his head, Xinfeng could only go over to retrieve his paddle, it was made of pure steel after all, therefore it had value of keeping. Xinfeng kept his attention on the remaining small boats. One must know, the boats of the two sides totaled to three thousand and the men totaled to thirty thousand, while there was only hundreds of small boats left and thousands of men left, it was truly a big loss. However, Xinfeng felt no sympathy, the main reason being that these men had already left bad impressions of themselves with him from the beginning. Without any courtesy, he speedily swam to the remaining small boats, his speed rivaling those of enormous fishes, causing a white line to appear on the lake’s surface as he quickly made his way to a small boat. Instantly, Xinfeng locked on to a small boat, leaping from the water, he landed on the front of the boat. On this small boat was easily a hundred men, each of them soaked and packed together. Xinfeng commanded, “Jump off!” On the small boat, everyone was immediately enraged as their hostility came in waves at Xinfeng.

After all, money was the least of his concerns at the moment, and it was all thanks to the Trading Alliance, thus he showed no hint of feeling guilty.\nAs the auction approached the end, Qin Nan had bought one hundred and three pieces of treasure, each bidded with two thousand Arcane Realm Stones, resulting in a total of two hundred and six thousand Arcane Realm Stones!\n“The auction is approaching its finale, and I believe everyone has been anticipating the upcoming items from the very beginning. Let’s start with the first item of the finale; five Emperor Weapons!”\nJin Xin uttered a yell, as five Emperor Weapons were displayed on the golden glassy stand before him, emitting a shocking aura. The crowd was utterly astonished.\n“These five Emperor Weapons are no ordinary Emperor Weapons. According to our appraisers, their Weapon Spirits belong to the same type of Weapon Spirit! In other words, if one were to refine these five Emperor Weapons at the same time, the person would be able to freely control five Emperor Weapons in a battle, granting him terrifying strength!”\n“F**k me! These five Emperor Weapons are insane!”\n“……” The cultivators were all experienced, as they soon realized the uses of these five Emperor Weapons possessing the same type of Weapon Spirit.\nJin Xin immediately grabbed the chance of utilizing the lively atmosphere as he let out a yell, “These five Emperor Weapons will be sold in a bundle, with a starting price of forty thousand Arcane Realm Stones; each bid must be a thousand Arcane Realm Stones higher than the previous price!”\nAfter hearing the words, the huge chatter instantly turned quiet.\nThat’s forty thousand Arcane Realm Stones; any ordinary person wouldn’t be able to participate in the bid.\n“Forty three thousand!” At that instant, the voice of the manager of the Ancient Gambling Store, Peng Yu, could be heard coming from the fifth booth.\nHe was extremely interested in these five Emperor Weapons. Furthermore, they could also serve as the heirloom weapons of his store.\n“Brother Peng, I’m sorry. I’m interested in these five Emperor Weapons too. I’ll bid a price of forty four thousand Arcane Realm Stones.” A voice was heard coming from the sixth booth, who turned out to be the owner of the Qingxin Inn.\nPeng Yu’s face remained expressionless as he said, “Then I’ll bid forty five thousand Arcane Realm Stones. After all, they will only belong to the one bidding the highest price.”\n“I agree with Brother Peng, I’ll bid forty six thousand Arcane Realm Stones.”\nThe crowd could feel their hearts racing.\nThey did not expect Peng Yu and the owner of the Qingxin Inn to compete with one another directly at the auction, as if there existed a conflict between them.\nThe Six-Eared Divine Being let out a grin; he could not care less of the conflict between the two, as long as the price continued to be raised. Upon having this thought, he instinctively glanced at booth number six. It was all thanks to Mr. Qin. If it weren’t for him, he would not be able to make such a profit from the auction. Meanwhile, Qin Nan himself could not help but chuckle.\nBoth Peng Yu and the owner of the Qingxin Inn were his enemies; seeing his enemies competing with each other to buy his stuff that would bring him a great profit was quite a joyful sight.\n“Sixty five thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” Peng Yu clenched his teeth and bid a tremendous price. Following it, the owner of the Qingxin Inn fell silent, who seemed to have given up on bidding further.\nAfter saying this, his voice came to a halt. As expected, the attention of the crowd was attracted.\nMany of the authorities could feel themselves becoming excited.\nThey were all here for this final piece of the auction!\n“I present you the final piece of the auction—five Emperor Weapons and three Dominator Weapons. These weapons will be sold in a bundle, as their Weapon Spirits are all of the same type!” Jin Xin raised his tone to the max. Following this, a beam of light descended from above onto the stage, which contained three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons within the light, resulting in a shocking aura!\nAn uproar took place at that instant, as if a grenade had been tossed into the crowd.\n“What? Did I hear that right?”\n“Gasp, what a crazy sight; the Ancient Dragon Auction is going all out this time!”\n“……” The rogue cultivators and the authorities were utterly flabbergasted. They did not expect to see such valuables here at the Ancient Dragon Auction.\nThat was because a Dominator Weapon alone was incredibly rare within the entire lower district, not to mention a bundle of three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons!\nJin Xin’s face reddened as he let out a roar, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the starting price for this final item will be one hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones! Each bid must be five thousand Arcane Realm Stones higher than the previous price!”\n“I bid one hundred five thousand Arcane Realm Stones!”\n“One hundred and twenty thousand Arcane Realm Stones!”\n“One hundred and twenty thousand? I am the emperor of Lanxuan Kingdom, I’ll bid one hundred and forty thousand!”\n“What a shitty emperor; I’ve never heard of it before. I’m bidding one hundred and fifty thousand Arcane Realm Stones!”\nAt that instant, the price continued to be increased at a terrifying speed.\nThe authorities seated inside the booths on the first-floor could no longer remain calm and uttered their bidding prices, as if they were about to wage a war against each other.\nBoth the Six-Eared Divine Being and Jin Xin wore blossoming smiles on their faces. They purposely bundled the three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons together so that the crowd would go crazy for them, and that was the exact effect they planned to see.\nMeanwhile, the price had risen to two hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones!\nThe crowd of cultivators was incredibly shocked, as they gulped down mouthfuls of saliva. Although they did not take part in the auction, they could feel their hearts beating rapidly.\n“Ladies and Gentlemen, I am bidding three hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones!

第二百九十九章 一秒记住【??】，為您提供精彩小说阅读。 这是有多嚣张？ 连武皇根本都不放在眼里！ 全场众人无不嘴角抽搐，不过他们早已见识了这位秦公子的嚣张之处，现在承受能力要比刚才好多了。 诡剑皇一张脸色，瞬间阴沉的可怕。 他纵横下域这么多年，这还是头一次被人如此嚣张！ 只不过他哪怕在愤怒，也只能咬牙忍受下来，谁让这个秦公子，连姜皇都对他态度和善。 “该死的小辈，你这么嚣张，迟早会有人好好教训你的！” 诡剑皇暗骂一声。 一场小小的风波，就这样结束了，整个拍卖会，如火如荼的正在进行。 在这期间，秦南不断出手，因为龙虎妖宗和妙妙公主看中的东西，他全部都买了下来，反正现在也不差钱，而且坑的还是商道盟，他一点都不在意。 直至拍卖会进行到了尾声，秦南总共买了一百零三件宝物，每一件都是两千枚入微之石，总价值二十万零六千入微之石！ “现在已经进入了本场拍卖会的尾声，想必有一些东西，大家非常期待。 那么现在就开始第一件压轴之物，五件王道之器！” 所有修士的脸色，无不动容。 “这五件王道之器，可不是一般的王道之器，经过我们鉴定师的鉴定，它们的器灵，都是属于同一种器灵！ 也就是说，将这五件王道之器同时炼化的话，心意一动，就可以同时催动，任意操作，威力绝伦！” 金心喝声如雷，他的话音刚落，下面就掀起了一阵热议。 “我靠！ 这五件王道之器厉害啊！” “若是将这五件王道之器都买回去，那岂不是可以布下一座大阵？” 这些修士，都是经验丰富，眼光何其毒辣。 金心见其气氛火热，当下抓住时机，喊道：“这五件王道之器，同时出售，起步价为四万颗入微之石，每次加价，不得低于一千枚入微之石！” 此话一出，原本火热的议论声，瞬时间安静了不少。 这可是四万颗入微之石，一般人根本拿不出来。 “我出四万三千颗！” 就在这时候，那古韵坊坊主彭御的声音，在第五号包厢之中，响彻起来。 他对这五件王道之器，非常感兴趣，正好可以买回去，当做镇坊之宝。 “彭兄，不好意思啊，这次我也需要这五件王道之器，我就出四万四千颗入微之石了。” 有一道声音从第六号包厢响起，赫然是清心客栈的掌柜。 彭御皮笑肉不笑，道：“那我就出四万五千颗了，这些宝物，价格者得嘛。” “彭兄所言极是，我出四万六千颗。” 全场众人都是听得心惊肉跳。 他们没有想到，彭御和清心客栈的掌柜，居然有所过节，在这拍卖会上，直接干了起来。 六耳尊者则是暗笑不已，他才不管有没有矛盾，只要价格抬的越高越好，这样想着，他的目光忍不住看向了第六包厢，这次还真的多谢了秦公子啊，若不是他的话，此次拍卖会，根本创造不出这么巨大的高价。 这时的秦南，却是暗笑不已。 无论是彭御还是清心客栈掌柜，都和他有仇，如今两个仇人，为了他的东西，互相争个你死我活，为他带来收益，他自然乐得其成。 “我出六万五千颗入微之石！” 彭御咬了咬牙，终于报出了一个天价，那清心客栈的掌柜，沉默了一阵，不再吭声，显然是退出了这场争斗。 说到这里，他声音一顿，果不其然，全场目光，都吸引了过来。 不少尚未出手的大人物，都是神色一凛。 他们此番前来，就是为了最后的压轴之宝！ 金兴的语气变得无比高昂，从那拍卖会场的上空，也是落下了一束金光，在那金光之中，三件皇道之器和五件王道之器，摆放一起，爆发出来了惊天意志！ 轰！ 全场的气氛，就好像扔进了一枚炸弹，骤然爆炸开来。 “什么？ 我没听错吧？” “嘶，大手笔啊，古龙拍卖会这可是大手笔啊！” 所有的散修，哪怕是那些大人物，都是满脸震撼，没想到此次古龙拍卖会，拿出了这等重宝。 要知道一件皇道之器，放眼整个下域，都极为难见，更不用说现在足足三件皇道之器加上五件王道之器了！ 金兴神色也激动的通红，大声喊道：“全场的道友们，前辈们，最后一次拍卖的起拍价，为十万颗入微之石！ 每次加价，不得低于五千颗入微之石！” “我出十二万枚！” “十二万枚？ 老夫乃蓝玄帝国的皇帝，我出十四万枚！” “什么狗屁皇帝，本皇根本没听说过，我出十五万枚！” 刹那之间，整场拍卖会中，一个惊人的数字，正在节节攀升。 那二楼之中包厢中坐着的一个个大人物，此时此刻，都再也无法保持淡定，纷纷开口，恨不得直接展开一场战争。 无论是六耳尊者，还是金兴，嘴角都是浮起了抹笑容，他们故意将三件皇道之器和五件王道之器合在一起，就是为了让这些大人物疯狂起来，越是疯狂，那就越好。 此时此刻，拍卖会场上的价格，已经攀升到了二十万颗入微之石的地步！ 全场修士们无不微微色变，狠狠的咽了口口水，哪怕他们无法参与这场战争，都只感觉心惊肉跳。 “诸位道友，本皇出三十万颗入微之石！ 另外本皇此次购买这三件皇道之器、五件王道之器，乃是和方剑使者联合起来购买，还望在场的诸位，能够卖个面子，将这几件宝物，让给我们，在下必有重谢！” 那四号包厢内，独臂武皇阴森森的声音，在这个时候，响彻起来。 方剑使者！ 他们当然知道这个大名，乃是最近青龙圣地之中，一位突然崛起的使者！ 传闻之中，方剑使者，获得了某位峰主的青睐，现在地位节节攀升，他日晋升武尊强者，恐怕也不在话下！ 六耳尊者的脸色，当下一变，暗叫不好，这几件皇道之器和王道之器，加起来应该可以拍出五十万颗入微之石的价格，可是现在被独臂武皇横插一脚，恐怕不会有人再敢应价。 “这个该死的独臂武皇，居然搬出了方剑的名头……”六耳尊者暗骂一句，大脑迅速运转，必须要想个办法，决不能让独臂武皇就这么简单的得手。 然而，就在这个时候，一个沉寂许久的声音，忽而淡淡响起。 方剑是什么鬼！ 我出四十万颗入微之石！” 开口之人，赫然是秦公子！
Chapter 299 - A Surging Turbulence for the Finale Chapter 299 - A Surging Turbulence for the Finale How scornful was that? He even dared to disrespect a Martial Dominator! The crowd could feel their lips twitching, but since they had already witnessed how smug this Mr. Qin was, it was not too difficult to survive the shock this time. The Sly Sword Dominator’s face turned utterly dark. Despite roaming across the lower district for many years, it was his first time seeing someone disrespect him to this extent! That being said, he had no choice but to clench his teeth and endure his anger, purely because even Jianghuang had to treat this Mr. Qin with full respect. “F**king little prick, you’ll definitely regret your smug attitude one day!” The Sly Sword Dominator cursed in his mind. The incident soon came to an end, as the auction continued in full swing. Qin Nan kept on bidding for the items; every item that the Longhu Ancestor Beast and Princess Miao Miao were keen for would end up in his hands. After all, money was the least of his concerns at the moment, and it was all thanks to the Trading Alliance, thus he showed no hint of feeling guilty. As the auction approached the end, Qin Nan had bought one hundred and three pieces of treasure, each bidded with two thousand Arcane Realm Stones, resulting in a total of two hundred and six thousand Arcane Realm Stones! “The auction is approaching its finale, and I believe everyone has been anticipating the upcoming items from the very beginning. Let’s start with the first item of the finale; five Emperor Weapons!” Jin Xin uttered a yell, as five Emperor Weapons were displayed on the golden glassy stand before him, emitting a shocking aura. The crowd was utterly astonished. “These five Emperor Weapons are no ordinary Emperor Weapons. According to our appraisers, their Weapon Spirits belong to the same type of Weapon Spirit! In other words, if one were to refine these five Emperor Weapons at the same time, the person would be able to freely control five Emperor Weapons in a battle, granting him terrifying strength!” “F**k me! These five Emperor Weapons are insane!” “……” The cultivators were all experienced, as they soon realized the uses of these five Emperor Weapons possessing the same type of Weapon Spirit. Jin Xin immediately grabbed the chance of utilizing the lively atmosphere as he let out a yell, “These five Emperor Weapons will be sold in a bundle, with a starting price of forty thousand Arcane Realm Stones; each bid must be a thousand Arcane Realm Stones higher than the previous price!” After hearing the words, the huge chatter instantly turned quiet. That’s forty thousand Arcane Realm Stones; any ordinary person wouldn’t be able to participate in the bid. “Forty three thousand!” At that instant, the voice of the manager of the Ancient Gambling Store, Peng Yu, could be heard coming from the fifth booth. He was extremely interested in these five Emperor Weapons. Furthermore, they could also serve as the heirloom weapons of his store. “Brother Peng, I’m sorry. I’m interested in these five Emperor Weapons too. I’ll bid a price of forty four thousand Arcane Realm Stones.” A voice was heard coming from the sixth booth, who turned out to be the owner of the Qingxin Inn. Peng Yu’s face remained expressionless as he said, “Then I’ll bid forty five thousand Arcane Realm Stones. After all, they will only belong to the one bidding the highest price.” “I agree with Brother Peng, I’ll bid forty six thousand Arcane Realm Stones.” The crowd could feel their hearts racing. They did not expect Peng Yu and the owner of the Qingxin Inn to compete with one another directly at the auction, as if there existed a conflict between them. The Six-Eared Divine Being let out a grin; he could not care less of the conflict between the two, as long as the price continued to be raised. Upon having this thought, he instinctively glanced at booth number six. It was all thanks to Mr. Qin. If it weren’t for him, he would not be able to make such a profit from the auction. Meanwhile, Qin Nan himself could not help but chuckle. Both Peng Yu and the owner of the Qingxin Inn were his enemies; seeing his enemies competing with each other to buy his stuff that would bring him a great profit was quite a joyful sight. “Sixty five thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” Peng Yu clenched his teeth and bid a tremendous price. Following it, the owner of the Qingxin Inn fell silent, who seemed to have given up on bidding further. After saying this, his voice came to a halt. As expected, the attention of the crowd was attracted. Many of the authorities could feel themselves becoming excited. They were all here for this final piece of the auction! “I present you the final piece of the auction—five Emperor Weapons and three Dominator Weapons. These weapons will be sold in a bundle, as their Weapon Spirits are all of the same type!” Jin Xin raised his tone to the max. Following this, a beam of light descended from above onto the stage, which contained three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons within the light, resulting in a shocking aura! An uproar took place at that instant, as if a grenade had been tossed into the crowd. “What? Did I hear that right?” “Gasp, what a crazy sight; the Ancient Dragon Auction is going all out this time!” “……” The rogue cultivators and the authorities were utterly flabbergasted. They did not expect to see such valuables here at the Ancient Dragon Auction. That was because a Dominator Weapon alone was incredibly rare within the entire lower district, not to mention a bundle of three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons! Jin Xin’s face reddened as he let out a roar, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the starting price for this final item will be one hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones! Each bid must be five thousand Arcane Realm Stones higher than the previous price!” “I bid one hundred five thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” “One hundred and twenty thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” “One hundred and twenty thousand? I am the emperor of Lanxuan Kingdom, I’ll bid one hundred and forty thousand!” “What a shitty emperor; I’ve never heard of it before. I’m bidding one hundred and fifty thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” At that instant, the price continued to be increased at a terrifying speed. The authorities seated inside the booths on the first-floor could no longer remain calm and uttered their bidding prices, as if they were about to wage a war against each other. Both the Six-Eared Divine Being and Jin Xin wore blossoming smiles on their faces. They purposely bundled the three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons together so that the crowd would go crazy for them, and that was the exact effect they planned to see. Meanwhile, the price had risen to two hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones! The crowd of cultivators was incredibly shocked, as they gulped down mouthfuls of saliva. Although they did not take part in the auction, they could feel their hearts beating rapidly. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am bidding three hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones! By the way, I’m cooperating with Envoy Fang Jian to bid for these three Dominator Weapons and five Emperor Weapons. I hope you are willing to give up on bidding further as a sign of respect. I’ll repay your kindness in the future!” The gloomy voice of the One-Handed Martial Dominator could be heard coming from booth number four. The lively atmosphere of the scene turned dead at that instant, as the expressions on the faces of the authorities stiffened. Envoy Fang Jian! They had no doubt heard of this name before; it was the name of an envoy of the Qinglong Sacred Area, who had become extremely powerful! According to the rumors, this Envoy Fang Jian had earned the favor of a Peak Leader, which allowed his reputation to grow rapidly. He would no doubt become a Martial Dominator expert in the future with all the available resources! The Six-Eared Divine Being’s expression turned dull at that instant. The bundle of Dominator and Emperor Weapons was expected to reach a price of at least five hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones, but now with the interference of the One-Handed Martial Dominator, it was highly possible that no one would dare to bid further. “This goddamned One-Handed Martial Dominator, he dares to use Fang Jian’s name…” The Six-Eared Divine Being cursed in his heart, as he tried to come up with a plan to stop the One-Handed Martial Dominator from disturbing his plan. However, at that instant, a voice that had remained silent for quite a long time suddenly reappeared. “Fang Jian? Who the hell is that! I’m bidding four hundred thousand Arcane Realm Stones!” The one speaking was none other than Mr. Qin!

No one is to object or he will face being expelled from the clan!\"\nIn the hall, Apothecary Chen Xiao surveyed the surroundings before speaking sentimentally and desperately.\nHe was invited as an examiner for the Pill Debate with a fellow named Zhang Xuan, but the other party declared that he would be unable to live for much longer. Feeling that his body functions are indeed starting to fail, he felt extremely dismal. Thus, he started to make preparations upon returning to the clan.\nHe is an apothecary and his presence brought the entire Chen Clan to prosperity. The moment he dies, those who are envious of his fortune would definitely employ every possible mean to wrestle for a share. If so, it would just be a matter of time before the clan falls.\nThus, in order to prevent such a scenario from occurring, he ordered for all clansmen to sell their assets and disappear from the capital, never to return. \"Clan head...\"\nAfter those words were spoken, wails echoed in the air.\nThey had been living a life of luxury, and many could not accept the fact that they have to move to a far away place so suddenly.\n“Enough! What is this clan becoming, for you to be crying and wailing? Chen Cong, make the necessary preparations!\" Apothecary Chen Xiao said.\nChen Cong is his son. Knowing that he doesn’t have many days left, he had already appointed him as the new clan head.\n\"Yes!\" Chen Cong nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, a young man walked forward and whispered something into his ears. Then, Chen Cong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly raised his head, \"Father...\"\n\"What is it?\" Apothecary Chen Xiao lifted his teacup and frowned angrily.\nHe always believed that his son comprehends the importance of prioritizing, so why is he so disobedient now?\nDoes he not know that the Clan’s prosperity is due solely to his identity as an official apothecary? Without his prestige suppressing the ambitions other clans possess, they wouldn't be able to guard the wealth they had accumulated through pill forging throughout these years.\n\"Father, a master teacher has appeared in the capital. Perhaps... He can solve your problem...\" Noticing the displeasure on his father's face, Chen Cong spoke quickly, not daring to hesitate in the least.\n\"Master teacher? Could it be fake news?\" Apothecary Chen Xiao shook his head.\nIf it were indeed a master teacher, how could he, a dignified 1-star apothecary, possibly have not received any news?\n\"I don't know for sure, but I sent Chen Tao to investigate upon hearing the rumors yesterday. This master teacher is known as Yang Xuan and not only did he solve Ling Tianyu's wife's illness, even Du Miaoxuan from the Du Clan knelt before his gates. Furthermore...\"\n\"Furthermore what?\"\n\"...\" Chen Cong.\n\"...\" The crowd in the Chen Clan.\nThe wailing in the room silenced in an instant and everyone's mouth was so wide that a chicken egg could be stuffed into it. Looking at the clan head whose attitude did an 180-degree turn all of a sudden, they became completely speechless.\nPavilion Elder Qian does not wield actual authority in Tianxuan Kingdom, but he holds a very important position. Every fortnight, Emperor Shen Zhui would summon him to the royal palace and query him.\nHe is the emperor's eyes. He gathers all news within the country and sorts them into books for the emperor to peruse.\nIt is only with these news that Emperor Shen Zhui is able to keep abreast of current affairs and continue making wise decisions for the country, allowing the kingdom to grow stronger steadily and not be threatened by powerful enemies.\nThus, in the kingdom, even personnel who hold true authority do not dare to offend him. They fear that he might pass on incorrect news which could cause the emperor to doubt them.\nToday is yet another day to sort and compile the gathered news for reporting. Thus, he had arrived at his personal office early in the morning.\nAt this moment, the room is squeezed full of people, all of them embroiled in a squabble.\n\"Causing a ruckus like this, how inappropriate!\"\n\"Yes!\" Everyone immediately ran back to their positions fearfully.\nA middle-aged man walked over.\n\"Un, are there any important incidents that happened these few days?\" Pavilion Elder Qian sat in his chair and looked over.\nThis is his job scope. He would ask his subordinate about the incidents that had occurred in the capital and compile them before considering whether he should highlight any individual incident to the emperor.\n\"In these ten days, there is a total of 17 1-star incidents, 12 2-star incident, and 3 3-star incidents...\" The middle-aged man hesitated before passing over a stack of paper.\n1-star is the lowest level and it means that the incident isn't important at all. As the number of stars increase, the more important the incident become. 5-star is the highest number of stars an incident can be given, and the severity of the matter would be equivalent to that of an enemy invasion and the downfall of the country is in sight.\nListening to the report, Pavilion Elder Qian lowered his head to take a look.\n\"Bai Xun xiao wangye challenged son of Prime Minister Liu Cheng and injured him, causing a huge conflict between the two great clans... Evaluation, 1-star!\"\n\"Royal Secretary Lu Zhong brought a new concubine to his family and she is a citizen of Tianyu Kingdom. Her exact identity is unknown... Evaluation, 1-star!\"\n\"17 people of Tianxuan Merchant Firm assaulted by bandit at Plum Snow Ridge and they were completely annihilated. Bandits likely to be the same ones who escaped from the capital several months ago... Evaluation, 1-star!\"\nEven though 1-star incidents are of the lowest severity within the classification, they had far-reaching impacts. Taking the first example of Bai Xun challenging the son of the Prime Minister, for example, if the matter isn't resolved properly, it is easy for the conflict to escalate. If discord were to be sowed among two authorities of the royal court, the internal stability of the country would be affected.\nHowever, it is clear that these people are used to dealing with such matters. They aren't too agitated upon seeing these earth-shaking incidents.\n\"Un, you did well evaluating them!\" Looking through the 17 1-star incidents, Pavilion Elder Qian nodded his head. Then, he flipped to the second page and what was written on it was mainly 2-star incidents.\n\"A calamity occurred in the Southwest Hundred Ridges and thousands of people lost their homes. Currently, they have been settled... Evaluation, 2-star!\"\n\"Tianxuan Money Vault recently released new bills, the highest denomination is a million... Evaluation, 2-star!\"\n\"Zhunnan Marquis reached Tongxuan realm advanced stage, becoming one of the top ten experts in the kingdom... Evaluation, 2-star!\"\nThese matters are closely related to the politics and situation of the kingdom. The impacts these matters could possibly bring are much greater than that of 1-star incidents.\nAfter looking through the twelve 2-star incidents, Pavilion Head Qian nodded his head once more. There is nothing wrong with the evaluations here as well.\nFlipping over to the third page, 3-star incidents were detailed on it.\n\"The Teacher Guild stripped Elder Shang Chen of Hongtian Academy of his position as the head of Education Bureau for being not partial in his evaluation of Zhang Xuan laoshi's Teacher Qualification Examinations... Evaluation, 3-star!\"\n“Zhang Xuan laoshi and Lu Xun laoshi would be competing in a Teacher Evaluation 12 days later... Evaluation, 3-star!\"\n\"Incidents regarding the Teacher Guild and academies would automatically be promoted by a single star. Lu Xun laoshi is the individual who is most likely to become a master teacher of Tianxuan Kingdom, and as such, incidents involving him are given an additional star. These two events are indeed worth 3-star, not bad!\"\nHesitation shrouded the middle-aged man's face.\n\"What's wrong?\" Pavilion Elder Qian's eyebrows shot up.\n\"Something has happened these few days and we are unable to determine a star rating for it. That is the matter that we were discussing earlier...\" The middle-aged man said.\n\"Oh? Tell me!\" Pavilion Elder Qian glanced at him in curiosity.\n\"Three days ago, a person named Yang Xuan appeared in the capital. He claimed that he is a master teacher and he settled Ling Tianyu's wife's illness...\" The middle-aged man said.\n\"Oh, I've heard of the matter. I even specially headed to the Teacher Guild to investigate the matter, but there isn’t such a name in the records of that kingdom. It is probably a gimmick of Ling Tianyu, so there's no need to pay it much heed. Alright, classify it under 1-star incidents!\" Pavilion Elder Qian said.\nMaster teachers are just like stars in the sky, an existence that others can only look up to. As long as a kingdom has a 1-star master teacher supporting it, its overall might would be bolstered significantly. If the other party is truly a master teacher, how could he come into the capital without anyone knowing of it?\n\"1-star incident?\" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. \"I'm afraid that the matter isn't as simple as that.

第一百五十五章 “好了，就按照这个规章执行，任何人不得有异议，不然，直接逐出家族！” 大殿之中，陈霄丹师环顾一周，意气萧索的道。 受邀为一位叫张悬的家伙辩丹，结果对方一口说出他命不久长，感受身体生机衰败，心中满是失落，回到家族就开始安排后事。 他是炼丹师，活着的时候，整个陈家能够繁荣兴旺，一旦死亡，觊觎他家产的势力必然动用各种力量，家族衰败只是早晚的事。 所以，为了防止这种事情发生，定下家规，让族人现在就卖掉所有产业，销声匿迹，远离王城，以后别再回来。 听到这话，哭声一片。 享受了锦衣玉食，突然要远离家门，远离这里，不少人都难以接受。 “好了，哭哭啼啼成何体统，陈聪，去办吧！” 陈霄丹师说完摆摆手。 陈聪是他儿子，知道时日不多，他已任命为新的家主。 “是！” 陈霄丹师端起茶杯，眉头蹙起，心中带着怒意。 他一直认为儿子知道轻重缓急，怎么也如此不听话？ 难道不知道陈家之所以兴盛，就因为他是正式炼丹师吗？ 如果没了他的威慑，这些年炼丹得到的钱财，单凭他们，如何保护得住？ “爹，王城来了一位名师，或许……他能解决你身上的问题……”看出父亲脸上的不悦，陈聪没敢犹豫，直接开口。 不是假消息吗？” 陈霄丹师摇头。 如果是真的名师，他身为一星炼丹师，怎么会一点消息都没得到？ “而且，杜邈轩进去不到十分钟，从鼎力境巅峰就变成通玄境高手。” “现在就去？ “……”陈聪。 “……”陈家众人。 房间响彻的哭声瞬间哑住，所有人嘴巴里都像被塞了一个鸡蛋，说不出话来，一个个看向突然态度大改的家主，目瞪口呆。 钱阁老在天玄王国没有任何实权，地位却极其重要，每半个月都会被沈追陛下召到王宫，亲自询问。 因为他是陛下的眼睛，传递整理王国内、外所有消息，并将之整理成册，以供参考。 有了这些消息，沈追陛下才能保持英明神武的决断，让王国蒸蒸日上，不被强敌环绕。 所以，王国哪怕真正的实权人物，都不敢得罪，生怕被他传递了不实信息，导致遭到王权忌惮。 今天又是统计汇总消息的时候，一早上就来到了专门的办公场所。 此时，房间里已经堆满了人，一个个议论纷纷。 “是！” 众人脸色一变，纷纷回到自己的位置。 一个中年人走了过来。 “嗯，最近几天有什么重要事情发生吗？” 钱阁老落座，眼皮一抬。 他的工作就是这样，询问诸多事情的重要性，统一汇总，然后再考虑用不用上报陛下。 “这十天来，一星的十七件，二星的十二件，三星的事情三件……”这位中年人犹豫了一下，递过来一个表格。 上报的诸多事件，有主次轻重之分，为了方便阅读和统计，通常会根据重要程度，分出星级。 一星属于最低等的，并不重要，伴随星级越高，重要程度也就越大，五星最高，已经相当于外敌入侵，王国颠覆在即。 听到汇报，钱阁老随手接过表格，低头看了过去。 “镇北小王爷白逊，挑战宰相柳城之子，将其打伤，两大家族产生纠纷……评定，一星！” “尚书鹿重前日纳妾，为天羽王国的人，具体身份不明……评定，一星！” “天玄商团十七人在梅雪岭遭到山匪袭击，全军覆没，山匪极有可能是数月前逃窜的大盗……评定，一星！” 一星，虽然只是最不重视的事件，说起来很简单，实际上却都关系不小，以第一个白逊挑战宰相之子来说，一旦不好好处理，很容易激化矛盾，让朝廷内两大权利人物出现争执，从而导致国事动荡。 不过，这些人很显然已经处理这些事习惯了，轻车熟路，没有太大情绪波动。 “嗯，评定的很合理！” 将十七件一星事件看完，钱阁老点了点头，看向第二页，这上面记载的基本都是二星事件。 “西南百岭山出现灾难，数千人流离失所，无家可归，目前已经安定……评定，二星！” “天玄钱柜签发最新金票，面额最大的改为百万一张……评定，二星！” “淮南侯突破通玄境后期，成为王国排名前十的高手……评定，二星！” 这些事基本都和国政、王国局势有关了，重要程度明显比一星要大的多。 看完十二件二星事件，钱阁老再次点头，这些评定依旧没有问题，合理有序。 翻开第三页，看向最高的三星事件。 “教师公会罢免洪天学院教导处主任尚臣长老的职务，认定张悬老师上学期师资考核不正确……评定，三星！” “张悬老师和陆寻老师十二日后，进行师者评测……评定，三星！” “教师公会和学院的事，自动增加一星，陆寻老师是整个天玄王国最有可能成为名师的存在，也自动增加一星，这两件事评为三星，不错！” 将这些看完，钱阁老再次点头。 中年人脸上满是踟蹰。 “什么事？” 钱阁老眉毛一扬。 “是这两天发生了一件事，我们无法评定星级，刚才就是讨论这个……”中年人道。 “哦？ 说来听听！” 钱阁老看过来。 “三天前，王城来了一位叫杨玄的人，自称名师，解决了凌天宇妻子的病症……”中年人道。 “哦，这件事我听说，还专门去教师公会查询了，王国记录中，没有此人的名字，估计是凌天宇弄的噱头，不用在意。 这样吧，排到一星事件里！” 钱阁老道。 名师，每一个都和星星一样，万众瞩目，王国只要有一位名师坐镇，整体实力都会大涨，如果对方真是名师，怎么可能悄无声息就来到王城，知道都不知道？ “一星事件？” 中年人苦笑：“恐怕没那么简单，如果只治好了凌天宇的妻子，一星事件足够，可是……就在昨日，四大家族杜家的杜邈轩长老，跪在对方门口一天，进去大约十分钟，出来的时候，已经从武者五重鼎力境巅峰突破到通玄境！” “什么？ 实力大增？” 不去管他的评定，中年人继续道。 钱阁老猛地站起身来，眼睛瞪圆。 罗冲是谁？ 炼丹师公会会长，真正天玄王国站在最巅峰的人物之一。 他都这样认为，难不成……这位杨玄是真的名师？ 钱阁老忍不住道。 话没说完，中年人的声音再次响起。 “这，这……”钱阁老脸色一阵红一阵白，身体晃了两晃：“这是……四星，不，是五星事件，快将这些写出来，我要上报陛下，用最快速度！” “五星？” “不用再确定了吗？” 五星事件……整个天玄王国，都已经数十年没出现过了。 之前还在讨论无法定级的众人，听到钱阁老这话，脸色同时一凝，全部哗然。 (未完待续。
Chapter 155: 5-star Incident "Alright, let's go by this rule. No one is to object or he will face being expelled from the clan!" In the hall, Apothecary Chen Xiao surveyed the surroundings before speaking sentimentally and desperately. He was invited as an examiner for the Pill Debate with a fellow named Zhang Xuan, but the other party declared that he would be unable to live for much longer. Feeling that his body functions are indeed starting to fail, he felt extremely dismal. Thus, he started to make preparations upon returning to the clan. He is an apothecary and his presence brought the entire Chen Clan to prosperity. The moment he dies, those who are envious of his fortune would definitely employ every possible mean to wrestle for a share. If so, it would just be a matter of time before the clan falls. Thus, in order to prevent such a scenario from occurring, he ordered for all clansmen to sell their assets and disappear from the capital, never to return. "Clan head..." After those words were spoken, wails echoed in the air. They had been living a life of luxury, and many could not accept the fact that they have to move to a far away place so suddenly. “Enough! What is this clan becoming, for you to be crying and wailing? Chen Cong, make the necessary preparations!" Apothecary Chen Xiao said. Chen Cong is his son. Knowing that he doesn’t have many days left, he had already appointed him as the new clan head. "Yes!" Chen Cong nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, a young man walked forward and whispered something into his ears. Then, Chen Cong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly raised his head, "Father..." "What is it?" Apothecary Chen Xiao lifted his teacup and frowned angrily. He always believed that his son comprehends the importance of prioritizing, so why is he so disobedient now? Does he not know that the Clan’s prosperity is due solely to his identity as an official apothecary? Without his prestige suppressing the ambitions other clans possess, they wouldn't be able to guard the wealth they had accumulated through pill forging throughout these years. "Father, a master teacher has appeared in the capital. Perhaps... He can solve your problem..." Noticing the displeasure on his father's face, Chen Cong spoke quickly, not daring to hesitate in the least. "Master teacher? Could it be fake news?" Apothecary Chen Xiao shook his head. If it were indeed a master teacher, how could he, a dignified 1-star apothecary, possibly have not received any news? "I don't know for sure, but I sent Chen Tao to investigate upon hearing the rumors yesterday. This master teacher is known as Yang Xuan and not only did he solve Ling Tianyu's wife's illness, even Du Miaoxuan from the Du Clan knelt before his gates. Furthermore..." "Furthermore what?" "..." Chen Cong. "..." The crowd in the Chen Clan. The wailing in the room silenced in an instant and everyone's mouth was so wide that a chicken egg could be stuffed into it. Looking at the clan head whose attitude did an 180-degree turn all of a sudden, they became completely speechless. Pavilion Elder Qian does not wield actual authority in Tianxuan Kingdom, but he holds a very important position. Every fortnight, Emperor Shen Zhui would summon him to the royal palace and query him. He is the emperor's eyes. He gathers all news within the country and sorts them into books for the emperor to peruse. It is only with these news that Emperor Shen Zhui is able to keep abreast of current affairs and continue making wise decisions for the country, allowing the kingdom to grow stronger steadily and not be threatened by powerful enemies. Thus, in the kingdom, even personnel who hold true authority do not dare to offend him. They fear that he might pass on incorrect news which could cause the emperor to doubt them. Today is yet another day to sort and compile the gathered news for reporting. Thus, he had arrived at his personal office early in the morning. At this moment, the room is squeezed full of people, all of them embroiled in a squabble. "Causing a ruckus like this, how inappropriate!" "Yes!" Everyone immediately ran back to their positions fearfully. A middle-aged man walked over. "Un, are there any important incidents that happened these few days?" Pavilion Elder Qian sat in his chair and looked over. This is his job scope. He would ask his subordinate about the incidents that had occurred in the capital and compile them before considering whether he should highlight any individual incident to the emperor. "In these ten days, there is a total of 17 1-star incidents, 12 2-star incident, and 3 3-star incidents..." The middle-aged man hesitated before passing over a stack of paper. 1-star is the lowest level and it means that the incident isn't important at all. As the number of stars increase, the more important the incident become. 5-star is the highest number of stars an incident can be given, and the severity of the matter would be equivalent to that of an enemy invasion and the downfall of the country is in sight. Listening to the report, Pavilion Elder Qian lowered his head to take a look. "Bai Xun xiao wangye challenged son of Prime Minister Liu Cheng and injured him, causing a huge conflict between the two great clans... Evaluation, 1-star!" "Royal Secretary Lu Zhong brought a new concubine to his family and she is a citizen of Tianyu Kingdom. Her exact identity is unknown... Evaluation, 1-star!" "17 people of Tianxuan Merchant Firm assaulted by bandit at Plum Snow Ridge and they were completely annihilated. Bandits likely to be the same ones who escaped from the capital several months ago... Evaluation, 1-star!" Even though 1-star incidents are of the lowest severity within the classification, they had far-reaching impacts. Taking the first example of Bai Xun challenging the son of the Prime Minister, for example, if the matter isn't resolved properly, it is easy for the conflict to escalate. If discord were to be sowed among two authorities of the royal court, the internal stability of the country would be affected. However, it is clear that these people are used to dealing with such matters. They aren't too agitated upon seeing these earth-shaking incidents. "Un, you did well evaluating them!" Looking through the 17 1-star incidents, Pavilion Elder Qian nodded his head. Then, he flipped to the second page and what was written on it was mainly 2-star incidents. "A calamity occurred in the Southwest Hundred Ridges and thousands of people lost their homes. Currently, they have been settled... Evaluation, 2-star!" "Tianxuan Money Vault recently released new bills, the highest denomination is a million... Evaluation, 2-star!" "Zhunnan Marquis reached Tongxuan realm advanced stage, becoming one of the top ten experts in the kingdom... Evaluation, 2-star!" These matters are closely related to the politics and situation of the kingdom. The impacts these matters could possibly bring are much greater than that of 1-star incidents. After looking through the twelve 2-star incidents, Pavilion Head Qian nodded his head once more. There is nothing wrong with the evaluations here as well. Flipping over to the third page, 3-star incidents were detailed on it. "The Teacher Guild stripped Elder Shang Chen of Hongtian Academy of his position as the head of Education Bureau for being not partial in his evaluation of Zhang Xuan laoshi's Teacher Qualification Examinations... Evaluation, 3-star!" “Zhang Xuan laoshi and Lu Xun laoshi would be competing in a Teacher Evaluation 12 days later... Evaluation, 3-star!" "Incidents regarding the Teacher Guild and academies would automatically be promoted by a single star. Lu Xun laoshi is the individual who is most likely to become a master teacher of Tianxuan Kingdom, and as such, incidents involving him are given an additional star. These two events are indeed worth 3-star, not bad!" Hesitation shrouded the middle-aged man's face. "What's wrong?" Pavilion Elder Qian's eyebrows shot up. "Something has happened these few days and we are unable to determine a star rating for it. That is the matter that we were discussing earlier..." The middle-aged man said. "Oh? Tell me!" Pavilion Elder Qian glanced at him in curiosity. "Three days ago, a person named Yang Xuan appeared in the capital. He claimed that he is a master teacher and he settled Ling Tianyu's wife's illness..." The middle-aged man said. "Oh, I've heard of the matter. I even specially headed to the Teacher Guild to investigate the matter, but there isn’t such a name in the records of that kingdom. It is probably a gimmick of Ling Tianyu, so there's no need to pay it much heed. Alright, classify it under 1-star incidents!" Pavilion Elder Qian said. Master teachers are just like stars in the sky, an existence that others can only look up to. As long as a kingdom has a 1-star master teacher supporting it, its overall might would be bolstered significantly. If the other party is truly a master teacher, how could he come into the capital without anyone knowing of it? "1-star incident?" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid that the matter isn't as simple as that. If he only treated Ling Tianyu's wife, 1-star would suffice. However... Yesterday, Elder Du Miaoxuan from the Four Great Clans knelt at his entrance for an entire day, and in the ten minutes that he was in the mansion, he broke through from Dingli realm pinnacle to Tongxuan realm!" "What? Such an incredible increase in his strength?" Ignoring the evaluation Pavilion Elder Qian made, the middle-aged man continued speaking. Pavilion Head Qian abruptly stood up with completely widened eyes. Who is Luo Chong? The guild leader of the Blacksmith Guild, one of the top figures of the Tianxuan Kingdom! If he thought so as well, could it be that... This Yang Xuan is truly a master teacher? Pavilion Elder Qian was astonished. Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man's voice sounded once more. "This... This..." Pavilion Elder Qian's face turned completely white and he staggered backward in disbelief. "This is a... 4-star. No, it's a 5-star incident. Hurry up and write all of these down. I have to report this to the emperor, do it as fast as you can!" "5-star?" "Is there no need to double confirm it?" 5-star incident... It has not appeared in Tianxuan Kingdom for several decades now. The crowd, who were unable to determine a star rating for the incident, upon hearing Pavilion Elder Qian's words, were flabbergasted. Then a brief moment later, chaos broke loose.

It was dense like a river of stars, vast like a sea of clouds, and even a Talisman Formation Master that was skilled in deduction would find it difficult to deduce all its variations.\nMoreover, the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was divided into eight levels, each more difficult than the other, and one that was capable of learning its basics was sufficient to be called a genius that shocked the world, whereas one that was capable of cultivating it to the highest level was one in a million, rare to come by in a thousand years!\nEven a great and mighty talent like Emperor Chu had studied it for a few tens of years yet gave up halfway in the end and was unable to completely master it to perfection, and the terrifying difficulty of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was obvious from this.\nYet now, Chen Xi had suddenly entered into a state of sudden comprehension during the final battle and actually somehow combined the eight great sword moves of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture into its perfect state to attain the highest level, and it instantly caused an extremely great uproar.\nPerfect Sword Insight that returned to its state in nature!\nEven all the old fellows that were spectating the battle were shocked to the point of being unable to restrain their emotions, and they sighed repeatedly with admiration. It was as if they were admiring the most grand and magnificent landscape painting in the world, and a wisp of heartfelt feelings of affection towards a genius arose in their hearts.\n“There would surely be a genius that shook the heavens in every flourishing age. A genius that crushed all in a generation and reigned supreme, a genius that created unprecedented and supreme brilliance. This kid deserves such an honor!”\n“He actually entered into a state of sudden comprehension in such a critical battle and combined all the sword moves of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture into a single strike. Such natural talent is indeed unprecedented and rare to come by in a thousand years. I heard this kid still doesn’t belong to any sect, my Merak Pavilion is willing to admit a genius like this!”\n“If this kid is willing, my Jadepool Celestial Isle is willing to take him as a Core Disciple. Any cultivation technique, medicinal pill, and magic treasure can be selected by him, and even placing him as the Junior Sect Master is alright!”\n“My Brightray Sect…” All the Earthly Immortal Realm experts aroused the love for geniuses in their hearts and intended to admit Chen Xi into their sects, and they even put forward various tempting conditions. It was even to the extent that many Earthly Immortal Realm experts started arguing over Chen Xi.\nThis bustling scene caused even the nearby Bei Heng to be dumbstruck. I never imagined that my sworn brother would actually become so popular in the blink of an eye.\nIt had been very long since Chen Xi had carried out such a battle that was filled with pressure and allowed him to fight to his heart’s content. The pressure Qing Xiuyi brought upon him this time had allowed him to develop the enormous potential of his soul, and he’d finally broken through the final barrier of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture and combined them to attain the highest and perfect level.\nIt felt as if the Talisman Armament in his hand had transformed into a part of his body that was linked together like a part of his flesh and blood. Every single move broke through the barriers that caged him and allowed him to comprehend nature and its myriad of changes, and various Dao Insights were converged within his strike, causing its might to rise explosively by a few times than normal!\n“Wherever light is present, all demons and evil will be crushed!” Under the sword moves of Chen Xi’s Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture that had attained perfection, Qing Xiuyi felt enormous pressure, but her cultivation rose along with this pressure, and she exploded out with boundless potential.\nThis was a genius!\nUnbeatable and impossible to crush. They were capable of becoming stronger in adverse circumstances and exploded out with various potential that was greater than normal. No matter if it was Qing Xiuyi, Chen Xi, or even Zhao Qinghe, Huangfu Changtian, and the others, all of them had such potential.\nThe difference was that Qing Xiuyi’s potential came from her experiences as a reincarnated Heavenly Immortal, and it was practically equal to being born with it. On the other hand, Chen Xi’s potential was tempered from countless arduous battles, and it was something that was fostered later on.\nBang!\nQing Xiuyi completely erupted. Light glowed brilliantly from her entire body and covered the world, the lights seemed material and formed numerous flames of light that contained terrifying incinerating energy, and it faintly emitted a sacred, vast, and mysterious sacrificial feeling that caused others to be unable to help but want to prostrate themselves in worship.\n“This is the Light of Sacred Sacrifice! A sacrifice of one’s own lifespan as an offering to light in exchange for obtaining strength that’s a few times stronger than normal! Chen Xi actually forced her to use her lifespan to fight desperately…” The pupils of all the Earthly Immortal Realm experts constricted abruptly as they’d recognized this formidable and terrifying perfect Dao Grade martial technique.\nThe Light of Sacred Sacrifice was a perfect Dao Grade martial technique that was connected with the quintessence profundities of the heavens and the earth. It utilized a pure and sincere heart and supremely firm will to condense the profundities of the martial technique, and it combined with the spirit energy of the heavens and the earth to offer sacrifice to the light in order to draw from the terrifying might of the quintessence profundities of light. Once it was executed, one was capable of controlling light to subdue gods and bring chaos to the world!\nHiss!\nA strand of light flashed through the sky and struck at Chen Xi, yet it was avoided by him, and then the flame of light descended onto the arena. Instantly, a bottomless pit was blazed open, and practically all the talisman formations set up by Emperor Chu at the bottom of the arena was destroyed!\n“It really is the Flame of Sacred Sacrifice that’s formed from the Light of Sacred Sacrifice. It melts and destroys all. Supposedly, when cultivated to the limit, it’s even capable of summoning Light Spirits that’re formed in nature, and they were sufficient to boil seas, incinerate mountains, and destroy the stars and moon.”\n“But since ancient times, cultivators that were capable of cultivating the Light of Sacred Sacrifice to the limit only existed in the Dark Reverie, and it’s utterly impossible to see such a cultivator in the plane we’re on.”\n“That’s not necessarily true. By relying on her natural talent, perhaps Qing Xiuyi will be capable of becoming the first cultivator in our Darchu Dynasty to cultivate the Light of Sacred Sacrifice to the limit.”\nAll of the Earthly Immortal Realm experts discussed the Light of Sacred Sacrifice, and at the same time, Emperor Chu personally made a move to completely stabilize the arena.\nOn the arena, the battle was like a raging fire.\nAs soon as Qing Xiuyi utilized the Light of Sacred Sacrifice, the flames of light danced about all over the sky with a terrifying might, causing Chen Xi to not dare rashly and forcefully go against these flames that carried a sacrificial feeling, and it instantly caused the pressure upon him to rise greatly.\nThis battle was really full of ups and downs, and it had only been carried out for less than 10 minutes, yet numerous shocking changes had occurred.\nHiss! Hiss!\nThe Flames of Sacred Sacrifice became more and more dense as they faintly formed into an enormous cage that enveloped the entire arena within it, causing Chen Xi to be unable to avoid it even if he wanted to.\nWhen he saw this, Chen Xi charged into the sky right away as the Talisman Armament willfully flashed in the sky to slash out with a myriad of sword qi that sprayed out.\nThe two of them had finally started to go head on with full force.\nInstantly, the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice that were like a raging storm locked onto Chen Xi as they covered the heavens and the earth and moved towards him. In the blink of an eye, numerous bloody holes were burnt upon Chen Xi’s body.\nThe might of the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice was even capable of destroying the arena that Emperor Chu had set up himself, let alone a person’s body?\nThe strength of this type of flames already didn’t belong within the scope of the Grand Dao of Fire, and it was a quintessence energy that was derived from the Light Dao Insight, causing it to be mysterious, sacred, and a force that surpassed the flames of nature itself.\n“Die!” Qing Xiuyi spoke out coldly. “Sacred Flame World Annihilation!”\nShe exploded out once more, executing an extremely dense expanse of Flames of Sacred Sacrifice that were like comets that descended from outer space, and it wanted to completed purge and melt Chen Xi to nothingness.\nHer killing intent was even completely expressed within this full force attack.\nChen Xi’s Talisman Armament tore through the sky as he exerted his entire strength without the holding back in the slightest as well, and he didn’t flinch even if the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice stuck through his body and melted his flesh.\nEven though his body refinement cultivation was sufficient to allow him to be regrow himself, it wasn’t enough before the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice. Because this energy of light was capable of instantly incinerating his body, and it would utterly not give him the time to repair his body.\nIn other words, Chen Xi was charging with his life!\nHe tore apart layer after layer of flames as crystalline blood that was suffused with a light golden sheen flowed out from the cracks on his body, and it flowed all over his body, causing him to seem like horrifying a man made of blood.\n“Risking your life? I know how to do that as well!” Qing Xiuyi’s clear eyes squinted when she saw this. She knew that if Chen Xi was capable of charging over, then she would probably fall into a disadvantaged situation.\nAt this moment, her beautiful face that was tranquil and indifferent revealed a wisp of a rare frenzied expression. “Chen Xi, go to hell! You’re thinking of breaking through the envelopment of my Flames of Sacred Sacrifice? Dream on! You’ve taken my purity, so you must pay with your life!”\nHiss! Hiss!\nThe flames of Sacred Sacrifice became even more vast, covered the heavens and the earth and causing all the cultivators outside the arena to be unable to see the situation of the battle clearly any longer, whereas after she finished doing all this, Qing Xiuyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as her countenance turned pale and translucent.\nThe Light of Sacred Sacrifice was an extremely overbearing martial technique. If one wanted to bring forth a stronger strength, then one had to pay with one’s lifespan and offer it up as sacrifice, so that one was able to connect with the quintessence energy of light. It was a double sided blade.\nQing Xiuyi had already consumed a great deal of lifespan earlier. At this moment, she ruthlessly executed it once more, and she was unable to endure it with her cultivation, causing her to instantly suffer from a backlash.\nBut Qing Xiuyi didn’t care about all this at this moment. No matter what, she was absolutely unable to tolerate Chen Xi defeating her and continue living.\nBang! Bang!\nThe surging Flames of Sacred Sacrifice illuminated the heavens and the earth as its might grew even more terrifying. The strands of seemingly translucent flames were like the divine flames stolen from the lantern of the gods, and it ceaselessly shot towards Chen Xi’s body.\nIn merely an instant, Chen Xi felt as if his body was about to be incinerated as boundless pain seemed like teeth of a saw that was swallowing every single inch of the flesh in his entire body, causing him to be unable to help but tremble.\nIt seemed as if he would arrive on the verge of death in the next moment.\nOne cannot build the new without destroying the old. I must win this battle! I must…\nChen Xi shouted in his heart. He’d already held a firm and unmoving belief that he would surely win, and even if he died, he would go all out!\nSo what if it’s Light Dao Insight, so what if it’s the Flame of Sacred Sacrifice? Everything that obstructs my footsteps will be broken, crumbled, and shattered into powder!\nBecause he wanted to win, he wanted to take back his flesh and blood — Chen An!\nBesides victory, he didn’t have any other thought in his mind.\nHe wouldn’t have any regrets even if he died.\nRumble!\nAt this moment, his will penetrated his soul, causing it to be unprecedentedly strong and concentrated, and exceedingly firm. Within his sea of consciousness, a tempestuous storm rose abruptly, the Fuxi Divine Status automatically floated up into appearance as a myriad of magnificent divine lights emerged from it, and the River Diagram fragments droned and trembled while emitting a peculiar fluctuation that flowed and spread out… Everything seemed to have fallen into a collapsing and chaotic state.\nHowever, Chen Xi’s heart suddenly became translucent like glass as his entire body entered an eternal, tranquil, and empty state. It seemed as if time, space, and everything in the heavens and the earth had entered into a motionless state.\nVarious Dao Insight energies were ceaselessly being derived before his eyes.

第四百一十四章 万藏剑八大剑势，被誉为天下间最难修炼的一部剑法。 这部剑法蕴含八种道之奥义，每一种剑势都穷尽变化之道，繁密如星河，浩瀚如烟海，即便是善于推演的符阵师，也难以推演出所有变化。 并且万藏剑还分作八重境界，一重比一重困难，能够初窥门径者，都足以称得上是惊世之才了，能够修炼至最高境界者，万中无一，千年罕见！ 即便以当今楚皇之雄才伟略，钻研万藏剑典数十年岁月，最终也是中途而废，无法圆满掌握。 由此就可知道，修炼万藏剑的困难度有多可怕了。 而现在，陈汐在这最后一轮对决中，突然进入顿悟状态，竟然无意间将万藏剑八大剑势融合圆满，达到最高境界，顿时引起了莫大轰动。 繁华落尽，返璞归真。 剑意圆润，师法自然！ 连观战的一种老怪物都惊得情难自禁，赞叹连连，就像在欣赏世上最雄奇壮阔的泼墨山水画，心中泛起一抹由衷的怜才之意。 “但凡盛世，必然有惊天之天才出世，镇压一个时代，引领风骚、创造前所未有之无上辉煌，此子，足当得上此殊荣！” “竟然在如此关键之战，进入了顿悟之中，融汇万藏剑势于一剑，此等资质，的确是旷古烁今，千年罕见。 听闻此子至今无门无派，我天璇阁愿纳此等天才！” “若此子愿意，我碧渊仙岛愿收其为核心弟子，任何功法、丹药、法宝任其挑选，就是将其定为少掌门，也可以！” 一众地仙老祖纷纷动了爱才之心，欲要将陈汐纳入门下，开出种种诱人无比的条件，甚至为了抢夺陈汐，数位地仙老祖还争执了起来。 这幅热闹场景，连一旁的北衡都看得一阵目瞪口呆，没想到眨眼间，自家义弟竟然变得如此炙手可热。 陈汐好久没有进行这么具有压迫又酣畅淋漓的战斗了，这次被卿秀衣逼迫，发挥出神魂巨大的潜能，终于突破了万藏剑典一重关口，融合至最高的圆满境界。 那种感觉，就仿佛手中剑箓化作自己身体一部分，血肉相连，一招一式打破樊笼，领悟自然之法，万般变化、种种道意藏于一剑之间，威力足足比寻常暴涨了数倍！ “魑魅魍魉、外魔邪怪，光明所在，统统镇压！” 在陈汐那可怕的万藏剑圆满剑势下，卿秀衣感受到巨大压力，不过她的修为也水涨船高，爆发出无限潜能。 这就是天才！ 打不败，压不垮，能够在逆境中变强，而且爆发出高于寻常的种种潜能，无论是卿秀衣、还是陈汐，甚至是赵清河、皇甫长天他们，都有这样的潜质。 不同的是，卿秀衣的这种潜质来自天仙转世的经验，几乎等同于天生，而陈汐这种潜质则是从无数场艰苦卓绝的战斗中磨砺出来，属于后天培养。 轰！ 卿秀衣彻底爆发，她周身大放光明，覆盖九天十地，如同实质般，形成了一道道蕴含着可怕焚化之力的光明之火，其中隐约竟透出神圣、浩瀚、神秘、令人忍不住要虔诚膜拜的祭祀味道。 “这是圣祭之术！ 自损寿元，向光明献祭，以此换取比寻常高出数倍的力量！ 陈汐竟然逼得她拿寿元来拼命了……”一众地仙老祖的瞳孔都是骤然一缩，认出这一门强大可怕的完美级道品武学。 圣祭之术，一部沟通天地本源奥义的完美级道品武学，通过纯净虔诚的心灵和无上坚定的意志，凝聚武学之奥妙，结合天地元气，向光明献祭，以此汲取光明本源奥义的可怕威能，一旦施展，能够统驭光明，鬼神降服，逆乱乾坤！ 嗤！ 一缕光明之火掠空击向陈汐，却被他一闪躲开，那光明之火落在擂台上，顿时焚烧出一个深不见底的窟窿，擂台底部被楚皇布下的各种符阵几乎全部遭到破坏！ “果然是圣祭之术形成的圣祭之火，无物不融，无物不破，据说修炼到极致，甚至能够召唤来孕育自然之中的光明之灵，足以焚山煮海，摧星破月。” “不过能够将圣祭之术修炼到极致者，自古以来，也只存在在玄寰域当中，像我等所在之位面，是根本无法见到的。” “那也不见得，凭借卿秀衣之资质，或许能成为我大楚王朝古往今来第一个将圣祭之术修至极境者。” 一众地仙老祖都在讨论圣祭之术，同时楚皇也亲自出手，将擂台彻底稳固起来。 而在擂台上，战斗如火如荼。 卿秀衣的“圣祭之术”一出手，光明之火漫天乱舞，威势可怕，陈汐也不敢轻易硬撼这些蕴含祭祀味道的火焰，顿时之间压力陡增。 这场战斗真是起起落落，才进行不到盏茶功夫，就发生了诸多惊人变化。 嗤嗤！ 圣祭之火覆盖的越来越密集，隐隐构成了一个巨大的牢笼，把整个擂台都笼罩其中，让陈汐避无可避。 陈汐眼见如此，当即冲天而起，剑箓肆意掠空，劈斩出万千剑气，泼洒而出。 两人终于又开始硬碰硬。 顿时，如暴风骤雨似的圣祭之火锁定陈汐，铺天盖地而来，瞬息之间，陈汐身上就被焚烧出一个个血窟窿。 圣祭之火的威力甚至可以把楚皇亲手布置的擂台破坏掉，更何况是人体肉身？ 这种火焰之力，已经不属于火行大道的范畴，而是源自光明道意的本源之力，神秘神圣，巧夺先天之变化。 “死吧！” 卿秀衣清冷出声：“圣火灭世！” 她再一次爆发，施展出密集之极的圣祭之火，犹如从天外陨落的彗星，要彻底把陈汐净化、消融，尸骨无存。 她的杀意，更是在这全力一击中表现得淋漓尽致。 陈汐剑箓破空，也施展出全部力量，再也没有一丝保留，任凭圣祭之火击穿在身躯上，血肉消融都在所不惜。 虽然他的炼体修为足以做到滴血重生，但是面对这圣祭之火，却是不够看，因为这些光明之力能够将血肉瞬间消焚掉，根本不给其修复的时间。 也就是说，现在的陈汐，是拿着性命在向前冲！ 他撕裂开重重火影，身上裂开的地方，流淌出晶莹泛着淡金色的鲜血，流淌全身，就像一个血人般，触目惊心。 我也会！” 卿秀衣看见这样，清眸一凝，她知道，若是陈汐能够冲过来，自己只怕将陷入劣势。 这一刻，她恬静不波的玉容上，罕见地泛起一抹疯狂之色：“陈汐，你给我去死，还想破开圣祭之火的笼罩么？ 做梦！ 嗤嗤！ 圣祭之火愈发浩大，覆盖天地，令擂台外的修士再看不清其内的战况。 而卿秀衣做完这一切，却猛地吐出一口鲜血，脸色惨白透明。 圣祭之术是一种霸道之极的武学，想要发挥更为强大的力量，就必须拿自身寿元为代价，进行祭祀，与先天光明本源之力沟通，伤人伤己。 卿秀衣之前就损耗了不少寿元，此刻发狠再次施展，以她的修为也吃不消，身体顿时遭到了反噬。 不过卿秀衣这时候哪还在乎这些，无论如何，她也绝对无法容忍陈汐打败自己，继续存活下去。 砰砰！ 汹汹圣祭之火光耀天地，威势变得愈发可怖，那一缕缕透明似的火苗，犹如从神灵的灯盏中盗来的神火，不断朝陈汐身躯飙射而去。 仅仅一刹那，陈汐就有一种身躯将焚的感觉，无边痛苦似锯齿般吞噬周身每一寸血肉，身躯都忍不住颤抖。 仿佛下一刻，就将濒临死亡边缘。 “不破不立，破而后立，这一战，我必须胜利！ 必须……”陈汐内心在呐喊，他已经抱了坚定不移的必胜信念，哪怕死亡，也要全力以赴！ 光明道意又如何，圣祭之火又如何？ 一切阻挡自己步伐的存在，统统要击破、瓦解、齑粉！ 因为他要胜利，要接回自己的亲生骨肉——陈安！ 除了胜利，再也没有任何杂念。 九死而无悔。 轰隆！ 这一刻，他的意志贯穿神魂，变得空前强大和专一，坚定无比，识海中，骤然泛起惊涛骇浪，伏羲神像自动浮现，映现亿万浩荡神光，河图碎片嗡嗡颤抖，奇异波动流转扩散……一切都像陷入一种崩乱的状态。 然而陈汐的心，却蓦地变得剔透如琉璃，整个人进入一种亘古不灭，静极而空的状态，仿佛时间、空间、天地间万事万物都进入了静止状态。 一种种道意的力量在他眼前不断衍化。 五行、阴阳、雷霆、风、星辰、天空、彼岸、沉沦、杀戮……等等十四种大道奥义，仿若十四个圆满的轮回，在一刹那间齐齐涌现。 一刹那是一念，二十念为一瞬，二十瞬为一弹指！ 而在这短暂得无法形容的一念之间，陈汐福至心灵，劈斩出一剑。 如果觉得好看，请把本站网址推荐给您的朋友吧！
Chapter 414 Breaking Through Once Again The Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was reputed as the sword technique that was most difficult to cultivate in the world. This sword technique contained eight types of Dao Insights and every single sword move contained the limit of variations. It was dense like a river of stars, vast like a sea of clouds, and even a Talisman Formation Master that was skilled in deduction would find it difficult to deduce all its variations. Moreover, the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was divided into eight levels, each more difficult than the other, and one that was capable of learning its basics was sufficient to be called a genius that shocked the world, whereas one that was capable of cultivating it to the highest level was one in a million, rare to come by in a thousand years! Even a great and mighty talent like Emperor Chu had studied it for a few tens of years yet gave up halfway in the end and was unable to completely master it to perfection, and the terrifying difficulty of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was obvious from this. Yet now, Chen Xi had suddenly entered into a state of sudden comprehension during the final battle and actually somehow combined the eight great sword moves of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture into its perfect state to attain the highest level, and it instantly caused an extremely great uproar. Perfect Sword Insight that returned to its state in nature! Even all the old fellows that were spectating the battle were shocked to the point of being unable to restrain their emotions, and they sighed repeatedly with admiration. It was as if they were admiring the most grand and magnificent landscape painting in the world, and a wisp of heartfelt feelings of affection towards a genius arose in their hearts. “There would surely be a genius that shook the heavens in every flourishing age. A genius that crushed all in a generation and reigned supreme, a genius that created unprecedented and supreme brilliance. This kid deserves such an honor!” “He actually entered into a state of sudden comprehension in such a critical battle and combined all the sword moves of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture into a single strike. Such natural talent is indeed unprecedented and rare to come by in a thousand years. I heard this kid still doesn’t belong to any sect, my Merak Pavilion is willing to admit a genius like this!” “If this kid is willing, my Jadepool Celestial Isle is willing to take him as a Core Disciple. Any cultivation technique, medicinal pill, and magic treasure can be selected by him, and even placing him as the Junior Sect Master is alright!” “My Brightray Sect…” All the Earthly Immortal Realm experts aroused the love for geniuses in their hearts and intended to admit Chen Xi into their sects, and they even put forward various tempting conditions. It was even to the extent that many Earthly Immortal Realm experts started arguing over Chen Xi. This bustling scene caused even the nearby Bei Heng to be dumbstruck. I never imagined that my sworn brother would actually become so popular in the blink of an eye. It had been very long since Chen Xi had carried out such a battle that was filled with pressure and allowed him to fight to his heart’s content. The pressure Qing Xiuyi brought upon him this time had allowed him to develop the enormous potential of his soul, and he’d finally broken through the final barrier of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture and combined them to attain the highest and perfect level. It felt as if the Talisman Armament in his hand had transformed into a part of his body that was linked together like a part of his flesh and blood. Every single move broke through the barriers that caged him and allowed him to comprehend nature and its myriad of changes, and various Dao Insights were converged within his strike, causing its might to rise explosively by a few times than normal! “Wherever light is present, all demons and evil will be crushed!” Under the sword moves of Chen Xi’s Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture that had attained perfection, Qing Xiuyi felt enormous pressure, but her cultivation rose along with this pressure, and she exploded out with boundless potential. This was a genius! Unbeatable and impossible to crush. They were capable of becoming stronger in adverse circumstances and exploded out with various potential that was greater than normal. No matter if it was Qing Xiuyi, Chen Xi, or even Zhao Qinghe, Huangfu Changtian, and the others, all of them had such potential. The difference was that Qing Xiuyi’s potential came from her experiences as a reincarnated Heavenly Immortal, and it was practically equal to being born with it. On the other hand, Chen Xi’s potential was tempered from countless arduous battles, and it was something that was fostered later on. Bang! Qing Xiuyi completely erupted. Light glowed brilliantly from her entire body and covered the world, the lights seemed material and formed numerous flames of light that contained terrifying incinerating energy, and it faintly emitted a sacred, vast, and mysterious sacrificial feeling that caused others to be unable to help but want to prostrate themselves in worship. “This is the Light of Sacred Sacrifice! A sacrifice of one’s own lifespan as an offering to light in exchange for obtaining strength that’s a few times stronger than normal! Chen Xi actually forced her to use her lifespan to fight desperately…” The pupils of all the Earthly Immortal Realm experts constricted abruptly as they’d recognized this formidable and terrifying perfect Dao Grade martial technique. The Light of Sacred Sacrifice was a perfect Dao Grade martial technique that was connected with the quintessence profundities of the heavens and the earth. It utilized a pure and sincere heart and supremely firm will to condense the profundities of the martial technique, and it combined with the spirit energy of the heavens and the earth to offer sacrifice to the light in order to draw from the terrifying might of the quintessence profundities of light. Once it was executed, one was capable of controlling light to subdue gods and bring chaos to the world! Hiss! A strand of light flashed through the sky and struck at Chen Xi, yet it was avoided by him, and then the flame of light descended onto the arena. Instantly, a bottomless pit was blazed open, and practically all the talisman formations set up by Emperor Chu at the bottom of the arena was destroyed! “It really is the Flame of Sacred Sacrifice that’s formed from the Light of Sacred Sacrifice. It melts and destroys all. Supposedly, when cultivated to the limit, it’s even capable of summoning Light Spirits that’re formed in nature, and they were sufficient to boil seas, incinerate mountains, and destroy the stars and moon.” “But since ancient times, cultivators that were capable of cultivating the Light of Sacred Sacrifice to the limit only existed in the Dark Reverie, and it’s utterly impossible to see such a cultivator in the plane we’re on.” “That’s not necessarily true. By relying on her natural talent, perhaps Qing Xiuyi will be capable of becoming the first cultivator in our Darchu Dynasty to cultivate the Light of Sacred Sacrifice to the limit.” All of the Earthly Immortal Realm experts discussed the Light of Sacred Sacrifice, and at the same time, Emperor Chu personally made a move to completely stabilize the arena. On the arena, the battle was like a raging fire. As soon as Qing Xiuyi utilized the Light of Sacred Sacrifice, the flames of light danced about all over the sky with a terrifying might, causing Chen Xi to not dare rashly and forcefully go against these flames that carried a sacrificial feeling, and it instantly caused the pressure upon him to rise greatly. This battle was really full of ups and downs, and it had only been carried out for less than 10 minutes, yet numerous shocking changes had occurred. Hiss! Hiss! The Flames of Sacred Sacrifice became more and more dense as they faintly formed into an enormous cage that enveloped the entire arena within it, causing Chen Xi to be unable to avoid it even if he wanted to. When he saw this, Chen Xi charged into the sky right away as the Talisman Armament willfully flashed in the sky to slash out with a myriad of sword qi that sprayed out. The two of them had finally started to go head on with full force. Instantly, the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice that were like a raging storm locked onto Chen Xi as they covered the heavens and the earth and moved towards him. In the blink of an eye, numerous bloody holes were burnt upon Chen Xi’s body. The might of the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice was even capable of destroying the arena that Emperor Chu had set up himself, let alone a person’s body? The strength of this type of flames already didn’t belong within the scope of the Grand Dao of Fire, and it was a quintessence energy that was derived from the Light Dao Insight, causing it to be mysterious, sacred, and a force that surpassed the flames of nature itself. “Die!” Qing Xiuyi spoke out coldly. “Sacred Flame World Annihilation!” She exploded out once more, executing an extremely dense expanse of Flames of Sacred Sacrifice that were like comets that descended from outer space, and it wanted to completed purge and melt Chen Xi to nothingness. Her killing intent was even completely expressed within this full force attack. Chen Xi’s Talisman Armament tore through the sky as he exerted his entire strength without the holding back in the slightest as well, and he didn’t flinch even if the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice stuck through his body and melted his flesh. Even though his body refinement cultivation was sufficient to allow him to be regrow himself, it wasn’t enough before the Flames of Sacred Sacrifice. Because this energy of light was capable of instantly incinerating his body, and it would utterly not give him the time to repair his body. In other words, Chen Xi was charging with his life! He tore apart layer after layer of flames as crystalline blood that was suffused with a light golden sheen flowed out from the cracks on his body, and it flowed all over his body, causing him to seem like horrifying a man made of blood. “Risking your life? I know how to do that as well!” Qing Xiuyi’s clear eyes squinted when she saw this. She knew that if Chen Xi was capable of charging over, then she would probably fall into a disadvantaged situation. At this moment, her beautiful face that was tranquil and indifferent revealed a wisp of a rare frenzied expression. “Chen Xi, go to hell! You’re thinking of breaking through the envelopment of my Flames of Sacred Sacrifice? Dream on! You’ve taken my purity, so you must pay with your life!” Hiss! Hiss! The flames of Sacred Sacrifice became even more vast, covered the heavens and the earth and causing all the cultivators outside the arena to be unable to see the situation of the battle clearly any longer, whereas after she finished doing all this, Qing Xiuyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as her countenance turned pale and translucent. The Light of Sacred Sacrifice was an extremely overbearing martial technique. If one wanted to bring forth a stronger strength, then one had to pay with one’s lifespan and offer it up as sacrifice, so that one was able to connect with the quintessence energy of light. It was a double sided blade. Qing Xiuyi had already consumed a great deal of lifespan earlier. At this moment, she ruthlessly executed it once more, and she was unable to endure it with her cultivation, causing her to instantly suffer from a backlash. But Qing Xiuyi didn’t care about all this at this moment. No matter what, she was absolutely unable to tolerate Chen Xi defeating her and continue living. Bang! Bang! The surging Flames of Sacred Sacrifice illuminated the heavens and the earth as its might grew even more terrifying. The strands of seemingly translucent flames were like the divine flames stolen from the lantern of the gods, and it ceaselessly shot towards Chen Xi’s body. In merely an instant, Chen Xi felt as if his body was about to be incinerated as boundless pain seemed like teeth of a saw that was swallowing every single inch of the flesh in his entire body, causing him to be unable to help but tremble. It seemed as if he would arrive on the verge of death in the next moment. One cannot build the new without destroying the old. I must win this battle! I must… Chen Xi shouted in his heart. He’d already held a firm and unmoving belief that he would surely win, and even if he died, he would go all out! So what if it’s Light Dao Insight, so what if it’s the Flame of Sacred Sacrifice? Everything that obstructs my footsteps will be broken, crumbled, and shattered into powder! Because he wanted to win, he wanted to take back his flesh and blood — Chen An! Besides victory, he didn’t have any other thought in his mind. He wouldn’t have any regrets even if he died. Rumble! At this moment, his will penetrated his soul, causing it to be unprecedentedly strong and concentrated, and exceedingly firm. Within his sea of consciousness, a tempestuous storm rose abruptly, the Fuxi Divine Status automatically floated up into appearance as a myriad of magnificent divine lights emerged from it, and the River Diagram fragments droned and trembled while emitting a peculiar fluctuation that flowed and spread out… Everything seemed to have fallen into a collapsing and chaotic state. However, Chen Xi’s heart suddenly became translucent like glass as his entire body entered an eternal, tranquil, and empty state. It seemed as if time, space, and everything in the heavens and the earth had entered into a motionless state. Various Dao Insight energies were ceaselessly being derived before his eyes. The five elements, Yin, Yang, lightning, wind, star, sky, Paramita, Oblivion, slaughter… 14 types of Grand Dao profundities seemed like 14 perfect cycles that instantly emerged in unison. A split second was the time needed for a thought, 20 thoughts happened in an instant, and 20 instants happened in a snap of the finger! In this moment for a thought which was short to the point of being impossible to describe, fortune had struck Chen Xi, and he slashed out with his sword.

Otherwise why humans would tame such ferocious existences? They had to steal their pups and show themselves to it at the beginning. Wouldn’t it be so easy to tame that way?\nNo, it was too unreasonable.\nDudian thought of something as he looked down at his body. The hunter armor was full of blood. Previously when he was searching for the parasitic soul worm he had stained his armor with the blood of the splitter. Perhaps because of the smell of the blood the young splitter took him as its own brother… But that ‘mother’ idea was nonsense.\n“I believe that it has temporarily mistaken me. But after a long time it would naturally be able to distinguish. If I wait for long then I would die …” Dudian’s eyes lit up as he looked at the young splitter. He made few steps and saw that the young splitter was still concentrated on honing its scythes. He thought of an idea.\nHis eyes shined and his blood boiled as he thought of the idea. One again he felt a hope.\n“Come and come over.” Dudian picked up the dagger form the ground and came close to the young splitter. He shouted out to call it.

He guided the young splitter back to the entrance of the cave. In his heart he was calculating the time that the adult splitter took to hunt. Normally it would be just over thirty minutes. So he had about 15 to 20 minutes left before the adult splitter came back.\nHowever it was possible that it would come back in few minutes.\nIf he couldn’t get out in twenty minutes the his death would come.\nDudian was calm as he looked at the gap between the boulders. He pointed towards it and tentatively said: “Hit it!

But he tried not to show the anxiousness to it. There was only one way and that was to slowly guide it. He was patient as he repeatedly said: “Follow me! Hit! Hit it!” He beat the rocks with his hands.\nThe young splitter didn’t respond as it quietly looked at him.\nDudian was becoming impatient as he shouted in anger: “Come on! Just chop it!” He continued to tap the rocks with hit both hands while he looked at the young splitter.\nThe young splitter looked for a while then slowly raised its scythes and began to cut the rock wall. The rough and harsh sounds began to echo out.\nDudian was relieved as he saw the young splitter comply with him: “Harder! With all your strength!”\nThe young splitter saw him stop so it discontinued too.\nDudian was stunned. He began to continuously beat the rock with both his hands.\nThe young splitter saw him so it immediately lifted the scythe like forelimbs and cut the rock.\npuff! puff!\nThe scythes were able to just scratch the massive boulder. Dudian saw that the young splitter wouldn’t be able to cut through the complete boulder even if it took a whole day. However just half a meter away from that place there was a gap.

He moved back and forth for a while.\nAbout a minute later the young splitter also learned to move like Dudian. It was standing in front of the gap.\nDudian was speechless. He wanted to give warm applause to himself: “Come on! Do it with vigor! Put all your strength and effort!” Afterwards he began to punch the rock.\nThe young splitter continued to act the way Dudian demonstrated.

After he was able to pass his shoulder the following parts were much easier.\nDudian moved inch by inch as he palms caught onto the rocks. The little gap in front of him was the hope that he was crawling onto.\nHis shoulder bumped into variaty of rough stones as he cwaled. Half the way he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder.

Dudian roared and pushed forward.\nHis palms caught the outside part of the boulder. He burst with strength as his body squeezed out and fell to the ground.\nHiss~~!

望着在洞穴岩壁下活蹦乱跳的割裂者，杜迪安感觉难以置信，就因为自己是它出生后第一眼看到的生命，所以就被它当成同类？ 不科学！ “应该有别的原因，单是这个原因，太没道理了……”杜迪安脸色变幻，理智告诉他绝非如此简单，否则的话，人类驯服野兽何须如此麻烦？ 只需让其幼崽出生时，自己第一个露面不就能轻易将其驯服了？ 野兽都非如此，何况是比野兽凶残百倍的魔物？ 忽然，杜迪安想到什么，低头望着自己全身，只见狩猎者战甲上满是血浆，这都是先前找寻那只割裂者体内的寄生魂虫时沾到的血浆。 他忽然明白了过来，或许是这些血浆散发出的气味，让这只割裂者将自己当成了它的同类，或是兄弟，但绝非是‘母亲’之类的扯淡事情。 “暂时误认成我是同类，等以后时间久了，自然就能分辨出来，而且不需要等到那时，我应该就已经死了……”杜迪安望着手舞足蹈地割裂者，目光闪动，想要偷偷靠近将其击杀，刚迈出两三步，他望着依然在用岩壁摩擦自己利刃的割裂者，忽然心中一动，想到一个点子。 想到这个点子时，他双眼不禁发亮，体内血液都沸腾滚热了起来，再次感觉到了‘生’的希望。 杜迪安捡起先前被击飞在地上的匕首，来到割裂者后面数米外，试着呼叫它，虽然知道它未必能听懂自己的语言。 割裂者听到杜迪安的叫声，转身回过头来，翡翠色的眼珠瞅着他，似乎有些茫然迷惑。 杜迪安没有驯服野兽的经验，但见过人们驯服小狗的模样，依葫芦画瓢地照着那模样，向它招手道：“过来，嘶嘶，到这来。” 割裂者瞅了片刻，慢慢地挪动身体，朝杜迪安走了过来。 看见凑效，杜迪安眼中欣喜，控制着自身后退的节奏，慢慢地将它引导到洞穴入口处，心中飞快计算一遍时间，从那只大割裂者出去捕猎到现在，已经过去十分钟左右，上次它最后一次出去捕猎时，是过了三十分钟才回来，也就是说，自己最多还剩二十分钟的时间。 但也很有可能，再过几分钟，对方就回来了。 在这二十分钟中，这大割裂者随时都会出现，那时就是他的死期。 杜迪安深深吸气，望着站在洞穴入口处的这新生割裂者，向它指着一处窟窿，试探性地道：“砸它，砸！” 割裂者偏头瞧着他，一动不动。 杜迪安心中紧张无比，看见它没有反应，不禁有一丝焦急，但他知道，这件事不能急，只能慢慢引导，当即忍耐着焦虑，反复地道：“跟我来学，砸，砸它！” 说着，将手捶打在岩石上。 割裂者只是静静地看着他，并无反应。 说着，两只手拍在岩石上，连续地拍打，同时侧头看着割裂者。 或许是他眼中悲伤的期盼起到作用，新生割裂者看了一会儿，全身锋利的镰刀臂缓缓扬起，斩在岩壁上面，沙沙作响，摩擦出刺耳的粗糙声。 看到这点，杜迪安不禁松了口气，只觉全身被汗水湿透，道：“用力点，用全部力气！” 割裂者看见他停下，也停了下来。 杜迪安微愣，意识过来，立刻两手不停，继续拍打在岩石上。 割裂者见此，也立刻抬起镰刀臂切割在岩石上。 噗！ 巨石在镰刀臂的切割下，摩擦出一道道划痕。 杜迪安看见它面前的是一块完整的巨石，以它新生的镰刀臂就算切一天都未必能切开，而一个能容纳手臂的小缺口，恰好就在它旁边半米处，看得他恨不得将它提起，挪动到这小缺口前让它切割，但他知道，别说它未必会让自己靠近，就算给自己抱，自己都抱不起它。 “来，跟我这样，走三步……”杜迪安继续以身作则地引导着它，自己边砸边向左移动。 割裂者没有理会他，依然在自顾自地切割着自己面前的巨石。 杜迪安连忙加大声音，等成功引起它的注意后，立刻反复地做着来回移动的动作。 几分钟后，新生割裂者的身体也学着他移动起来，站在了那道缺口前。 说完，做出用尽全身力气砸拳的姿势，当然实际上他自然不会真的全力砸出去，自己的拳头跟这石堆相撞，先烂的绝对是他的拳头。 在杜迪安的演示下，割裂者劈砍的速度越发迅捷，更加卖力了，镰刀臂斩在巨石上，削出大量石块。 杜迪安看得兴奋不已，不愧是传奇魔物，学习能力强得可怕，甚至比人类还要恐怖，新生的人类婴儿可不会这样。 杜迪安一边装模作样地捶打，一边大叫着催促，虽然知道它听不懂自己的话。 嘭！ 割裂者的镰刀臂切割在石堆上，许多细小的石块被削开，将先前的缺口刨得更大了。 杜迪安看见缺口差不多够了，连忙停下，道：“停停停。” 割裂者听到声音，注意到杜迪安，看见他停下了，当即也停了下来。 杜迪安看见它挡在缺口处，只能向后倒退，快速跑入洞穴中，边跑边道：“来这边，来这边。” 割裂者看见他跑掉，收回了目光，又继续先前的切割练习。 杜迪安看见它没跟来，心中一阵气恼，捡起地上一块魔物的爪子，朝它的后背甩去，嘭地一声，砸在它的身上。 正在专注练习的割裂者顿时全身镰刀臂举起，一副暴怒的模样，转过头来，朝洞穴里冲了过来。 杜迪安见时机差不多，迅速绕过魔物尸堆，跑向洞穴入口处，顺着那个被刨大的缺口钻去，为了能够一次通过，他在先前绕着魔物尸堆跑的时候，就陆陆续续地将自己身上的狩猎者战甲给脱了下来，这战甲有的部位太硬，比如肩膀处的坎肩，而且又厚，占空间。 光着上身，杜迪安下面只穿着一件短裤，朝缺口处钻去。 这缺口实在太窄，他的脑袋轻易就钻了进去，但到了肩膀处时，却被卡住数寸。 杜迪安咬着牙，知道不能在这里退缩，留下来必死无疑，他心中一狠，硬生生地摩擦着皮肉，向里面钻去，只觉右侧肩膀火辣辣地疼痛，擦在粗糙的石块上，应该已经破皮流血。 在痛苦地挤压中，杜迪安蠕动着向里面冲去，像一条虫子，当肩膀钻进去后，下面的身体就容易多了。 手掌抓在下面的石块上，杜迪安一寸一寸地向前爬动，就像从血海地狱爬向人间一样，前面那小小的豁口，就是他活下去的希望。 肩膀磕磕碰碰地挤在各种粗糙石块上，当爬到一半时，突然肩膀传来一阵剧痛，却是撞到一个石头尖上，被石头刺入了进去。 杜迪安痛得牙关紧咬，低吼一声，身体猛地向前一冲，只觉得一股撕裂剧痛从肩膀传来，让他几乎痛昏过去，就像当初被贯穿钢钉一样。 杜迪安死死咬牙，咆哮着全速爬去。 手掌抓到了外面的石块上，杜迪安迸发出全身力量，将身体挤了出来，落在了地上。 嘶嘶！ 缺口后面，隐隐传来叫声，似乎很是焦急，正是出自那只新生割裂者。 杜迪安此刻哪还有心思管它，看见那只割裂者还没有回来，左右扫视一圈，看了看天光，从太阳方位瞬间辨别出方向，朝右侧全力跑去。 突然，洞穴处的岩石堆中响起剧烈地凿动声，奔跑中的杜迪安不禁回头望去，顿时看见被堆得十几米高的石堆似乎在微微晃动，心中吃惊，没想到那只新生割裂者的力量如此可怕，不过他来不及多看，收回目光继续向前跑去。

While walking on its surface, one could feel the how solid it was. There was also a feeling of standing in space.\nThe mountain appeared on top of the golden mountain. Stars adorned the nearby leaves. Standing here felt like gazing into a boundless and distant starry sky. It was as if he was at the edge of the world.\n“Holy! Let me go crazy here!” The divine striking stone immediately threw itself over and frantically devoured everything. When it saw the world mountain, it looked like it had just found the source of all life.\nSparks flew everywhere. The divine striking stone cried out miserably. It couldn’t chew it at all. No matter how sturdy and immortal it was, it still couldn’t do anything to the world mountain. This stone mountain was just too hard.\nFrom its perspective, if it could devour a piece, it would allow it to evolve into an unimaginable level. He would then possess the most foundational natural laws of this world within him.\nThis was a priceless material, and it could even be considered a supreme treasure!\nThe world mountain was hard to find throughout the world. A piece could only be found when the heavens were opened.\nFrom a certain perspective, this mountain was priceless. It could smash through a world and destroy all living things. This was a chaotic supreme treasure core before it was even refined.\nIf one earnestly refined it and engraved one’s dao, merging it with the world mountain’s foundational natural laws, there would be nothing this mountain couldn’t destroy. Everything would be shattered under its power.\nLegends said if even a fingernail sized chunk was removed from the world mountain, it would still be enough to crush a true mountain. Its weight was difficult to imagine.\nThis mountain was extremely bizarre. When others approached it, they would sometimes be crushed into a bloody paste by its tremendous force, and sometimes, it would be completely peaceful and instead nourish all creatures.\nRight now was its peaceful phase. A few individuals entered and left, and from time to time, loud sounds could be heard and divine light surged. All types of precious artifacts were being activated.\nThere were people fighting intensely, and there were others that were using weapons to cut at the world mountain to remove a piece. Not matter how small of a piece it was, if they refined it into a magical artifact, it would reach an unimaginable level.\nUnfortunately, as precious artifacts flew about and released loud sounds, the world mountain remained immortal. It was difficult to damage it in the slightest.\nNot even divine artifacts could do anything. If they forcefully attacked, they themselves might break. This was the world mountain, a true chaotic supreme treasure core. It was hard for anything to damage it.\n“This is the world mountain that accompanied the elder tree, and now, it actually came to the ancient sun tree to stay by its side!” The divine striking stone came to this conclusion.\nThis made the eyes of others go red. Regardless of whether it was the ancient golden tree or the world mountain, they were enough to make people go mad. Shi Hao was speechless, but he couldn’t do anything. Not even supreme experts could move it in the slightest.\n“Why haven't Willow Deity and the little pagoda returned?” He asked softly. He was extremely regretful that they weren’t here. Otherwise, these two things wouldn’t escape them.\nForget about others, just this world mountain alone was probably enough to make the little pagoda go mad. This was a chaotic supreme treasure similar to itself. As a natural material, it might even be able to restore its true appearance.\nThe mists on this mountain were extremely dense. Human figures appeared everywhere, and from time to time, great battles would erupt. There were individuals who secretly hunted down their opponents as well.\n“Even though this mountain is great, there’s no way to bring it away. There’s no point in fighting over it here.” Shi Hao said to himself. He reckoned that not even the little pagoda could completely devour this mountain and had to slowly refine it.\n“There might be some stuff on this mountain. They wanted to get closer and that’s why they decided to fight. Otherwise, why would they risk so much?” The divine striking stone said.\nShi Hao nodded. He stealthily advanced towards the mountaintop. This mountain really was large. Even with his speed, he had to travel for quite a while.\n, you are still alive?” An astonished voice sounded. The mists on the mountains became more and more dense. There was chaotic energy floating about that made one feel suffocated.\nSeveral figures flashed past. They were precisely the geniuses and noble ladies of the higher realms. Their group had been scattered, and they seemed to be in rather sorry states as they struggled against the supreme experts here.\nShi Hao saw Zhuo Yun, Xuan Ming, Shui Yue, Lan Yu and the others. Some frowned, and some smiled. Their reactions were all different.\n“Hurry, the Nine-Headed Snake and Ancient Ironblood Tree have caught up. They are extremely ferocious!” Hong Huang reminded.\nThese people rushed past immediately, dodging towards the side. They were still at a disadvantage as they fought. Blood had long been shed.\nOf course, there were individuals that had fallen on the supreme experts’ side as well.\nShi Hao avoided them, not following their party and instead continued to head towards the mountaintop. He already smelled a faint fragrance that greatly refreshed his mind and gushed with vitality.\nhe seems to be rather brave, daring to go up alone. He really is looking for death.” Zhuo Yun fled while laughing coldly.\n“Careful, it is dangerous up there!” Lan Yu shouted in warning.\nAs soon as he approached the mountain peak, Shi Hao noticed Bi Gu, Zhao Qi, and the others. They all held secret treasures in their hands while fighting against others. However, the supreme experts outnumbered them. These individuals fought while backing up, eventually escaping.\nThey were trying to disturb the supreme experts from having their way.\nShi Hao finally saw what there was here that made everyone fight intensely. Even the geniuses from the higher realms’ eyes became red with greed, let alone those like the Nine-Headed Snake.\nThere was a flower on the world mountain. It emitted golden splendor and wafted pleasant fragrances. Those that smelled it all felt extremely comfortable.\n“A divine flower produced by the ancient golden tree!” Shi Hao immediately understood.\n“If it is allowed to mature, it might be able to produce a world fruit!” The divine striking stone also cried out strangely. They actually ended up encountering this type of object.\nOne of the sun tree’s branches reached over, producing a flower that perfectly rested on the top of this world mountain. It was several zhang tall. It swirled with brilliant golden radiance.\nIt was quite strange. Elsewhere, the leaves of the sun tree were extremely large and could prop up a mountain, yet here, it was clearly much smaller, and even the flower was like this, not larger than a millstone.\n“The natural laws of the world mountain must have affected it.” The divine striking stone said.\nA few supreme experts stood right here, protecting this flower. They all raised their heads and looked at it.\nWhy wasn’t there anyone trying to pluck it?\nEven though it wasn’t a world fruit, this type of Sun God Flower possessed endless amounts of essence. If one ate it, one’s body would be completely reconstructed and experience unimaginable transformations.\nShi Hao carefully observed this place, noticing that there were many bloody marks on this place. There were also corpses here that seemed to have been hacked to death by sharp weapons.\n“This flower is a bit strange!” He came to this conclusion. Otherwise, why did no one else try to pluck it and only guard it like this?\nShi Hao decided to take action. He brought out the deer horn he had just obtained, and then he quickly changed directions and moved out of the way.\nWhen the five-colored deer horn flew towards the Sun God Flower and was about to cut it off, the golden flower gently swayed and sent out terrifying divine chains of order, cutting the deer horn apart.\n“Is it ripening again? Golden liquid is about to flow out!” Someone cried out in alarm.\nThe millstone sized Sun God Flower’s petals released. Golden liquid flowed down and was about to descend. There were three droplets, and each was the size of a dragon-eye fruit. Golden light shone resplendently and a sweet scent wafted through the air.\nThis was definitely divine liquid that could bring one back from near death. Even though they couldn’t pluck the flower, they could still wait here for the golden liquid to fall.\nHong!\nMagical artifacts rumbled, and precious light emerged from all sides. Bi Gu, Zhao Qi, Lan Yu, Ying Ying, and the ten or so other young men and women appeared. They took action together to attack and interfere.\nApart from this, the supreme expert side also became agitated. They all brought out their precious artifacts. They occupied this region and wanted to seize some more drops of the divine liquid.\n“Younger generation, the first two drops were taken by you all, yet you still aren’t satisfied!” The purple golden ant sneered. It was incredibly powerful. With a single movement, space itself began to distort.\n“The golden liquid belongs to whoever gets it first!” Zhuo Yun sneered and said.\nShi Hao found out from their words that this flower released two drops of divine liquid before, and that those drops were seized by the youngsters. Meanwhile, the supreme experts went into the Chaotic Ancient Palace, and as such missed this opportunity.\nThe chaotic palace was extremely dangerous. A few of the supreme experts died, and they then backed up to this place.\n“Looking to die!” These supreme experts took action, attacking Zhuo Yun and the others.\nShi Hao moved rather slowly. He didn’t believe these people. Earlier, there were some that hiddenly took action against him, trying to steal his interspatial precious case. It was precisely those individuals that made him ‘fall’ down the golden tree.\nAn incredibly intense chaotic battle erupted.\nThe golden liquid was already about to fall, and everyone’s eyes turned red. They all rushed forward. There were some that were overly anxious and already jumped out, activating their jade cauldrons to catch that drop.\nChi! Divine chains flew out from that divine flower, immediately destroying a few magical artifacts and even cut through a supreme expert.\n“You truly are something. Did we take you over the sea for nothing? You can’t even contribute a bit? You still aren’t going to take action?!” Someone shouted in a low voice.\nShi Hao turned around and saw that the one who spoke belonged to those that secretly took action against him.\nApart from this, Zhao Qi, Zhuo Yun, and the others’ faces became downcast. Their expressions were not kind. There were even some who wanted to push him out to block the supreme experts.\n“We are facing a great enemy! Do not become disordered!” Lan Yun lightly shouted.\nHong!\nThe Ancient Ironblood Tree sent divine spear like roots hacking over. The Nine-Headed Snake’s enormous heads each sprayed out divine radiance. They also crazily slaughtered over. “\n, you really dare to take action against me?” Shi Hao never had any intentions of joining them, and someone actually wanted to hiddenly take action against him, pushing him towards the Nine-Headed Snake to act as a shield.\nAt this moment, his entire body shone. He was still at the cultivation of Formation Arrangement and did not put on the imperishable battle clothes. However, there was a horrifying energy that erupted.\nAround Shi Hao, a ring made from symbols emerged, surrounding him within. He rushed towards one of the people behind him. Precious artifacts exploded, and after a cry of alarm sounded, he grabbed one of the males.\nThen, he flung that person towards the Golden Giant. That individual cried out loudly.\nUnfortunately, when this person landed within the supreme experts, he immediately got slapped by the Golden Giant, causing him to spit out large amounts of blood from his mouth. Then, the Blue Dragon roared, using a bronze bell to shatter his body protecting secret treasure. Then, the Ancient Ironblood Tree’s root hacked over, impaling him to death.\nAll of this happened extremely quickly. Shui Yue, Bi Gu, Hong Huang and the others were all stupefied.\n“You dare act randomly!” Zhuo Yun, Zhao Qi, and the others roared. They all took action against him.\n“So daring!” Someone berated and extended a hand. At the same time, Zhuo Yun also hatefully attacked. It was because behind Shi Hao, the Purple Golden Ant and Silver Lion also rushed over murderously.\nA light cry sounded. The void became indistinct. The symbols on Shi Hao’s body shot out. It was impossible to avoid them, because they were just too fast. They rushed out and surrounded the individual in front of him, causing him to cry out.\nEveryone was astonished. That individual turned into a streak of light and vanished. Chi!\nZhuo Yun’s arm also fell. Blood poured outwards. That arm had turned into light and completely vanished. He retreated in shock, his face incredibly pale.\n“\nYi, so strange!” The supreme experts behind also shivered inwardly. They didn’t casually attack him.\n“The golden liquid dropped!” Someone cried out in alarm.\nEveryone rushed forward together. They all displayed their precious techniques to seize those drops of divine liquid. This area erupted with brilliant radiance.\nShi Hao walked up. His entire body lit up with resplendent auspicious light. Symbols covered him, forming a barrier of light that protected him from everything and directly rushed to the very front.\nShi Hao walked up. His entire body lit up with resplendent auspicious light. Symbols covered him, forming a barrier of light that protected him from everything and directly rushed to the very front. A\nThe three drops of precious liquid landed inside a jade cauldron. Someone cried out in joy and wanted to collect it, but soon after, his smile froze. Shi Hao’s arms moved, and symbols appeared. They surrounded the jade cauldron and forcibly led it into his hands." } ]
第五百一十三章 世界山为黑褐色，踏在上面，感受到了一股坚实，更有一种站在宇宙星空中的感觉。 山体浮在黄金树上，附近的叶子上点缀着星辰，站在这里，望穿星空，空旷而又悠远，仿佛站在世界的尽头。 “神啊，让我癫狂吧！” 打神石瞬息扑了上去，已经狂化，看到世界山，它犹若见到了生命之源。 “当！” 火星四溅，打神石惨叫，根本要咬不动，任它坚硬不朽，也难以奈何世界山，这石山太坚固了。 对它来说，如果能够吞噬一块，足以让它进化到一个难以想象的高度，将蕴含天地最本源的规则。 这是一无价的材料，可以说是至宝！ 世界山，举世难寻，唯有开天时才能见到一块。 从某种意义上来说，这山体价值无量，能砸穿一界，毁掉万物，不用祭炼，就是一个混沌至宝粗胚。 如果以心血炼化，刻上自己的道，结合世界山中的本源法则，这山体一出，无物不破，全部要被粉碎。 据传，世界山哪怕能截下来指甲盖大的一块，都足以压碎一座真正的大岳，它的重量难以想象。 这山很奇妙，有时人接近它便会被巨力压成一滩肉泥，有时又很平静，滋养万物。 现在就是它的平静期，一些人影出没，不时还传来巨响，且有神光冲起，各种宝具祭出。 有人在大战，也有人在以兵器切割世界山。 想要截下来一块，哪怕只有一点，炼入法器中，都可将品阶提升到难以想象的境地。 可惜，任宝具飞舞，这里响声不绝，世界山却不朽，难以损坏一毫。 若是强行攻击，可能会让自身折断，这就是世界山，是真正的混沌至宝粗胚，万物难伤。 “这是当年伴着昆树而生的那座世界山，现在竟来到了太阳古树近前，与它相伴！” 打神石做出判断。 这令人眼红。 无论是黄金古树，还是世界山，都足以让人疯狂，石昊咋舌，却又无奈，便是尊者都撼不动。 “柳神、小塔它们怎么还不回来？” 他轻语，十分遗憾。 不然的话，这两样东西多半跑不了。 不说其他，仅此一座世界山，就足以让小塔疯狂，这是跟它一样的混沌至宝，为一粗胚，让它重塑真身都行。 这山上雾霭很浓，人影绰绰，不时有激烈大战爆发，还有人在暗中猎杀对手。 “这山虽好。 但是根本收不走，在这里争夺没有什么意义。” 石昊自语，他估计就是小塔也吞不下这座山，得慢慢炼化。 “这山上可能有什么东西，他们想接近与争夺，不然何至于此。” 打神石道。 不得不说这山体很壮阔，以他的速度依旧行进了不算短的时间。 “咦，你还活着？” 一个惊讶的声音传来，山上雾霭越发浓重。 几道身影一闪而过，正是上界的几位奇才与贵女，他们被打散了，有点狼狈，在这里与尊者交锋。 石昊见到了卓云、宣明、水月、蓝雨等，有人蹙眉，有人带着微笑，反应各不相同。 “快走，九头蛇与铁血古树等追来了，十分凶悍！” 红凰提醒。 这些人一冲而过，避向另一边，他们依旧处在劣势地位上，进行游斗，早已染血。 当然，尊者这一边也有人殒落。 石昊避过，没有跟随他们，而是从一边继续向着山顶进发，他已经闻到了淡淡的清香，沁人心脾，生机勃勃。 “嘿，他倒是很有主见，一个人也敢上去，真是找死。” 卓云一边逃一边冷笑。 “小心，上面很危险！” 蓝雨提醒了一声。 刚一临近山巅，石昊又发现了碧古、赵启等，手持秘宝，正在与人激战，不过尊者数量比他们多，几人边战边退，最后遁走。 他们在游斗，不时干扰，不让这些尊者得逞。 石昊终于发现这里有什么，引得众人这样争夺，连来自上界的奇才眼睛都红了，更不要说九头蛇等了。 世界山上有一朵花，金黄璀璨，清香阵阵，令人闻上一口便浑身舒泰。 “黄金古树结出的神花！” 石昊立时明白了。 “若是成熟，也许能结出世界果！” 打神石也怪叫，居然见到了这种东西。 太阳树的一条枝杈伸展到这里，结出一朵花，正好在世界山的巅峰上，离地几丈高，流转金色光辉，璀璨夺目。 说也奇怪，在别处，太阳树的叶子能托起一座山，十分巨大，然而在此地却明显小了很多，连花朵亦如此，不过磨盘大。 “应该是世界山的法则影响到了它。” 打神石道。 一些尊者就站在此地，守着这朵花，全都仰头看着。 怎么没有人去采摘？ 虽然不是世界果，但是这样一朵太阳神花也蕴含了无量的精粹，吃下去会立时脱胎换骨，发生难以想象的蜕变。 石昊注意观察，发现地上有很多血迹，还有尸体，像是被人什么利器生生斩断的。 “这花有古怪！” 他做出判断，不然何至于无人敢采摘，只是这样守着。 石昊出手，将刚才得到的那根鹿角祭出，而后自身快速转变方向，躲避了出去。 五色鹿角飞向太阳神花，要将它斩落下来，然而就在这时，那黄金花朵轻摇，扫出一道可怕的秩序神链，将鹿角截断。 磨盘大的太阳神花，有花瓣绽放，那里淌下金色的汁液，即将滚落下来。 共三滴，每一滴有龙眼那么大，金光璀璨，馨香扑鼻。 这绝对是神液，可以生死人肉白骨，无法去采摘此花，却可以等在这里。 待那金色汁液落下。 “轰！” 法器轰鸣，四周各种宝光浮现，碧古、赵启、蓝雨、莹莹等十几名年轻男女出现，一起出手，向前攻杀与干扰。 除此之外，尊者这一方也躁动了，各自祭出宝具。 占领地盘，都想争夺那几滴神液。 “小辈，早先的两滴就被你们得去了，还不知足！” 紫金蚁冷笑，它力大无穷，轻轻一震，虚空都扭曲了。 “黄金宝液，有德者居之！” 卓云嘲讽道。 石昊从他们话语中得悉，早先这朵花就淌下过两滴神液，被上界的那些年轻人取走。 而这批尊者光顾着去混沌古殿了，错过了机会。 而那混沌殿十分危险，尊者死伤了几人，又退到了这里。 石慢吞吞，步履有点慢。 他信不过这些人，早先便有人暗中对他出手，想谋夺他的世界宝盒。 正是这些人中几位将他“击落”下黄金树的。 “轰！” 混战爆发，十分激烈。 那金色的液滴就要坠落了，所有人眼睛都红了，纷纷冲上前去。 那朵神花中，一道秩序神链飞出，当场将一些法器击毁，更是将一位尊者击穿。 “你的命可真大，我们白带你渡海了吗，一点贡献也没有，还不出手？ ！” 石昊回头，正是曾经暗中对他出手的人之一。 除此之外，赵启、卓云等面色阴沉，神色不善，更是有人想暗中将他推出去，阻挡那些尊者。 “大敌当前，不要自乱！” 蓝雨轻叱。 “轰！” 铁血古树的根茎若神矛般刺来，九头蛇的庞大头颅各自喷吐神芒，也疯狂杀至。 “嗯，你真敢对我出手？” 石昊本就没有想加入他们，现在有人居然再次暗中出手，想将他推向九头蛇那里，当作挡箭牌。 这一刻，他通体发光，依旧是列阵境的修为，不曾传上不灭战衣，但是却有一股令人悚然的气息爆发。 石昊体外出现一道由符文组成的光环，将他笼罩在当中，向身后一人扑击，宝器破碎，惊呼出声，他一把将一个男子揪住。 而后，他抖手将此人扔向黄金巨人，那人大叫。 可惜，他落在了尊者堆中，先是黄金巨人一巴掌拍落，打的他的大口吐血，接着蓝龙咆哮，以一枚同龄震碎其护体秘宝，接着铁血古树一根枝杈刺来，将他钉死。 这一切发生的很快，水月、碧古、红凰等都一阵发呆。 “你敢乱来！” 卓云、赵启等人喝道，要对他出手。 有人怒斥，向前出手，与此同时，卓云也发狠进攻，因为在石昊的后方，紫金蚁、银狮也向前杀他而来。 一声轻鸣，虚空模糊，石昊身上的那片符文飞出，无法躲避，快到极致，将冲在最前方的那人笼罩，让他惊叫。 所有人都大吃一惊，此人化成了一道光，人间蒸发。 卓云的一条手臂也坠落，鲜血淋淋，那手臂亦成灰成光，消失不见，他惊的倒退，脸色苍白。 “咦，好古怪！” 后方的尊者都是一凛，没敢轻易攻向他。 “黄金液落下来了！” 有人惊呼。 众人一起先前冲，各自施展宝术，抢夺那几滴神液，一片绚烂。 石昊迈步，通体亮起璀璨瑞光，符文密布，构建出的护体光幕，使他万法不侵，径直冲了过去。 “轰”的一声，他将黄金巨人生生撞了一个趔趄，硬生生冲到最前，双手连拍，神光四射。 那空中的三滴宝液落入了一个玉鼎中，有人大喜，想要收回，结果很快笑容凝固，石昊牵引，硬生生夺到手中。
Chapter 513 The world mountain was dark brown in color. While walking on its surface, one could feel the how solid it was. There was also a feeling of standing in space. The mountain appeared on top of the golden mountain. Stars adorned the nearby leaves. Standing here felt like gazing into a boundless and distant starry sky. It was as if he was at the edge of the world. “Holy! Let me go crazy here!” The divine striking stone immediately threw itself over and frantically devoured everything. When it saw the world mountain, it looked like it had just found the source of all life. Sparks flew everywhere. The divine striking stone cried out miserably. It couldn’t chew it at all. No matter how sturdy and immortal it was, it still couldn’t do anything to the world mountain. This stone mountain was just too hard. From its perspective, if it could devour a piece, it would allow it to evolve into an unimaginable level. He would then possess the most foundational natural laws of this world within him. This was a priceless material, and it could even be considered a supreme treasure! The world mountain was hard to find throughout the world. A piece could only be found when the heavens were opened. From a certain perspective, this mountain was priceless. It could smash through a world and destroy all living things. This was a chaotic supreme treasure core before it was even refined. If one earnestly refined it and engraved one’s dao, merging it with the world mountain’s foundational natural laws, there would be nothing this mountain couldn’t destroy. Everything would be shattered under its power. Legends said if even a fingernail sized chunk was removed from the world mountain, it would still be enough to crush a true mountain. Its weight was difficult to imagine. This mountain was extremely bizarre. When others approached it, they would sometimes be crushed into a bloody paste by its tremendous force, and sometimes, it would be completely peaceful and instead nourish all creatures. Right now was its peaceful phase. A few individuals entered and left, and from time to time, loud sounds could be heard and divine light surged. All types of precious artifacts were being activated. There were people fighting intensely, and there were others that were using weapons to cut at the world mountain to remove a piece. Not matter how small of a piece it was, if they refined it into a magical artifact, it would reach an unimaginable level. Unfortunately, as precious artifacts flew about and released loud sounds, the world mountain remained immortal. It was difficult to damage it in the slightest. Not even divine artifacts could do anything. If they forcefully attacked, they themselves might break. This was the world mountain, a true chaotic supreme treasure core. It was hard for anything to damage it. “This is the world mountain that accompanied the elder tree, and now, it actually came to the ancient sun tree to stay by its side!” The divine striking stone came to this conclusion. This made the eyes of others go red. Regardless of whether it was the ancient golden tree or the world mountain, they were enough to make people go mad. Shi Hao was speechless, but he couldn’t do anything. Not even supreme experts could move it in the slightest. “Why haven't Willow Deity and the little pagoda returned?” He asked softly. He was extremely regretful that they weren’t here. Otherwise, these two things wouldn’t escape them. Forget about others, just this world mountain alone was probably enough to make the little pagoda go mad. This was a chaotic supreme treasure similar to itself. As a natural material, it might even be able to restore its true appearance. The mists on this mountain were extremely dense. Human figures appeared everywhere, and from time to time, great battles would erupt. There were individuals who secretly hunted down their opponents as well. “Even though this mountain is great, there’s no way to bring it away. There’s no point in fighting over it here.” Shi Hao said to himself. He reckoned that not even the little pagoda could completely devour this mountain and had to slowly refine it. “There might be some stuff on this mountain. They wanted to get closer and that’s why they decided to fight. Otherwise, why would they risk so much?” The divine striking stone said. Shi Hao nodded. He stealthily advanced towards the mountaintop. This mountain really was large. Even with his speed, he had to travel for quite a while. , you are still alive?” An astonished voice sounded. The mists on the mountains became more and more dense. There was chaotic energy floating about that made one feel suffocated. Several figures flashed past. They were precisely the geniuses and noble ladies of the higher realms. Their group had been scattered, and they seemed to be in rather sorry states as they struggled against the supreme experts here. Shi Hao saw Zhuo Yun, Xuan Ming, Shui Yue, Lan Yu and the others. Some frowned, and some smiled. Their reactions were all different. “Hurry, the Nine-Headed Snake and Ancient Ironblood Tree have caught up. They are extremely ferocious!” Hong Huang reminded. These people rushed past immediately, dodging towards the side. They were still at a disadvantage as they fought. Blood had long been shed. Of course, there were individuals that had fallen on the supreme experts’ side as well. Shi Hao avoided them, not following their party and instead continued to head towards the mountaintop. He already smelled a faint fragrance that greatly refreshed his mind and gushed with vitality. he seems to be rather brave, daring to go up alone. He really is looking for death.” Zhuo Yun fled while laughing coldly. “Careful, it is dangerous up there!” Lan Yu shouted in warning. As soon as he approached the mountain peak, Shi Hao noticed Bi Gu, Zhao Qi, and the others. They all held secret treasures in their hands while fighting against others. However, the supreme experts outnumbered them. These individuals fought while backing up, eventually escaping. They were trying to disturb the supreme experts from having their way. Shi Hao finally saw what there was here that made everyone fight intensely. Even the geniuses from the higher realms’ eyes became red with greed, let alone those like the Nine-Headed Snake. There was a flower on the world mountain. It emitted golden splendor and wafted pleasant fragrances. Those that smelled it all felt extremely comfortable. “A divine flower produced by the ancient golden tree!” Shi Hao immediately understood. “If it is allowed to mature, it might be able to produce a world fruit!” The divine striking stone also cried out strangely. They actually ended up encountering this type of object. One of the sun tree’s branches reached over, producing a flower that perfectly rested on the top of this world mountain. It was several zhang tall. It swirled with brilliant golden radiance. It was quite strange. Elsewhere, the leaves of the sun tree were extremely large and could prop up a mountain, yet here, it was clearly much smaller, and even the flower was like this, not larger than a millstone. “The natural laws of the world mountain must have affected it.” The divine striking stone said. A few supreme experts stood right here, protecting this flower. They all raised their heads and looked at it. Why wasn’t there anyone trying to pluck it? Even though it wasn’t a world fruit, this type of Sun God Flower possessed endless amounts of essence. If one ate it, one’s body would be completely reconstructed and experience unimaginable transformations. Shi Hao carefully observed this place, noticing that there were many bloody marks on this place. There were also corpses here that seemed to have been hacked to death by sharp weapons. “This flower is a bit strange!” He came to this conclusion. Otherwise, why did no one else try to pluck it and only guard it like this? Shi Hao decided to take action. He brought out the deer horn he had just obtained, and then he quickly changed directions and moved out of the way. When the five-colored deer horn flew towards the Sun God Flower and was about to cut it off, the golden flower gently swayed and sent out terrifying divine chains of order, cutting the deer horn apart. “Is it ripening again? Golden liquid is about to flow out!” Someone cried out in alarm. The millstone sized Sun God Flower’s petals released. Golden liquid flowed down and was about to descend. There were three droplets, and each was the size of a dragon-eye fruit. Golden light shone resplendently and a sweet scent wafted through the air. This was definitely divine liquid that could bring one back from near death. Even though they couldn’t pluck the flower, they could still wait here for the golden liquid to fall. Hong! Magical artifacts rumbled, and precious light emerged from all sides. Bi Gu, Zhao Qi, Lan Yu, Ying Ying, and the ten or so other young men and women appeared. They took action together to attack and interfere. Apart from this, the supreme expert side also became agitated. They all brought out their precious artifacts. They occupied this region and wanted to seize some more drops of the divine liquid. “Younger generation, the first two drops were taken by you all, yet you still aren’t satisfied!” The purple golden ant sneered. It was incredibly powerful. With a single movement, space itself began to distort. “The golden liquid belongs to whoever gets it first!” Zhuo Yun sneered and said. Shi Hao found out from their words that this flower released two drops of divine liquid before, and that those drops were seized by the youngsters. Meanwhile, the supreme experts went into the Chaotic Ancient Palace, and as such missed this opportunity. The chaotic palace was extremely dangerous. A few of the supreme experts died, and they then backed up to this place. “Looking to die!” These supreme experts took action, attacking Zhuo Yun and the others. Shi Hao moved rather slowly. He didn’t believe these people. Earlier, there were some that hiddenly took action against him, trying to steal his interspatial precious case. It was precisely those individuals that made him ‘fall’ down the golden tree. An incredibly intense chaotic battle erupted. The golden liquid was already about to fall, and everyone’s eyes turned red. They all rushed forward. There were some that were overly anxious and already jumped out, activating their jade cauldrons to catch that drop. Chi! Divine chains flew out from that divine flower, immediately destroying a few magical artifacts and even cut through a supreme expert. “You truly are something. Did we take you over the sea for nothing? You can’t even contribute a bit? You still aren’t going to take action?!” Someone shouted in a low voice. Shi Hao turned around and saw that the one who spoke belonged to those that secretly took action against him. Apart from this, Zhao Qi, Zhuo Yun, and the others’ faces became downcast. Their expressions were not kind. There were even some who wanted to push him out to block the supreme experts. “We are facing a great enemy! Do not become disordered!” Lan Yun lightly shouted. Hong! The Ancient Ironblood Tree sent divine spear like roots hacking over. The Nine-Headed Snake’s enormous heads each sprayed out divine radiance. They also crazily slaughtered over. “ , you really dare to take action against me?” Shi Hao never had any intentions of joining them, and someone actually wanted to hiddenly take action against him, pushing him towards the Nine-Headed Snake to act as a shield. At this moment, his entire body shone. He was still at the cultivation of Formation Arrangement and did not put on the imperishable battle clothes. However, there was a horrifying energy that erupted. Around Shi Hao, a ring made from symbols emerged, surrounding him within. He rushed towards one of the people behind him. Precious artifacts exploded, and after a cry of alarm sounded, he grabbed one of the males. Then, he flung that person towards the Golden Giant. That individual cried out loudly. Unfortunately, when this person landed within the supreme experts, he immediately got slapped by the Golden Giant, causing him to spit out large amounts of blood from his mouth. Then, the Blue Dragon roared, using a bronze bell to shatter his body protecting secret treasure. Then, the Ancient Ironblood Tree’s root hacked over, impaling him to death. All of this happened extremely quickly. Shui Yue, Bi Gu, Hong Huang and the others were all stupefied. “You dare act randomly!” Zhuo Yun, Zhao Qi, and the others roared. They all took action against him. “So daring!” Someone berated and extended a hand. At the same time, Zhuo Yun also hatefully attacked. It was because behind Shi Hao, the Purple Golden Ant and Silver Lion also rushed over murderously. A light cry sounded. The void became indistinct. The symbols on Shi Hao’s body shot out. It was impossible to avoid them, because they were just too fast. They rushed out and surrounded the individual in front of him, causing him to cry out. Everyone was astonished. That individual turned into a streak of light and vanished. Chi! Zhuo Yun’s arm also fell. Blood poured outwards. That arm had turned into light and completely vanished. He retreated in shock, his face incredibly pale. “ Yi, so strange!” The supreme experts behind also shivered inwardly. They didn’t casually attack him. “The golden liquid dropped!” Someone cried out in alarm. Everyone rushed forward together. They all displayed their precious techniques to seize those drops of divine liquid. This area erupted with brilliant radiance. Shi Hao walked up. His entire body lit up with resplendent auspicious light. Symbols covered him, forming a barrier of light that protected him from everything and directly rushed to the very front. Shi Hao walked up. His entire body lit up with resplendent auspicious light. Symbols covered him, forming a barrier of light that protected him from everything and directly rushed to the very front. A The three drops of precious liquid landed inside a jade cauldron. Someone cried out in joy and wanted to collect it, but soon after, his smile froze. Shi Hao’s arms moved, and symbols appeared. They surrounded the jade cauldron and forcibly led it into his hands.

I know what to do.” Little Dream nodded her head seriously.\nWhen she was in the Spirit Pagoda, she was extremely pissed off with Xia Ying Ying and the others and almost couldn’t stop herself from coming out to beat them up. Wei Zi Qi and Sima You Ran analysed Sima You Yue’s current situation and told her that she couldn’t mess things up for Sima You Yue. After that, they taught her how to take revenge for Sima You Yue in a way that nobody would be able to catch on to.\nShe was a devil beast that was rather special. She was able to attack one’s mind, causing them to sink into a nightmare or construct an illusory environment, causing one to be stuck in a hallucination.\nThis attack would not leave any traces, and most people had never encountered it.

It will be troublesome if we get discovered.”\n“I understand.” Little Dream said, “However, those people are not that strong right now. My inherited memories tell me that there will be no problem as long as the other party has not passed the Monarch rank.”\nAbove the Spirit Rank was Divine rank, and above the Divine rank was Monarch rank. After the Monarch rank was the Emperor rank. There wasn’t a single Emperor ranked person who had come from the entire continent. That was why nobody would find out.\nSima You Yue nodded when she heard what she said, saying, “Since that’s the case, you can be vicious.”\n“Great.” Little Dream smiled in reply. There was no need for Master to say it, this was the plan.\n“Alright.

He had seen that old man on the first forbidden area.\n“Lian Ze, who were those people here with you today?” Palace Master Qian Yuan asked straightforwardly.\n“Those are people that I met when I was at the Lian Clan…” Lian Ze told Qing Yuan the story of how he met Sima You Yue and what happened.\n“The Contracted Master of the King of the Rocs. Never thought that his origins aren’t small at all.” Qing Yuan said, “They are the ones who fought with Xia Ying Ying and the others?\n“Palace Master, forgive me for being straightforward. The youngsters nowadays are too arrogant. They wave the name of the Innumerable Green Palace around to bully others, and many people have already started to bear grudges against us. For Xia Ying Ying’s case, it is a good thing that Sima You Yue and the others have good personalities. If it came down to a point where words were useless, they would just need to lead the four winged roc clan over to seek justice. Even if the sect were not exterminated, the repercussions would still be severe.”\n“Mm. It’s true that the young generation have their faults. When I was meditating on the first forbidden area, i heard them cursing and fighting downstairs. They don’t think that they have done wrong in any way, but are thinking of ways to mete out their revenge. They are just doing their best to force down their hatred.” Qing Yuan said, “On this point of awareness, they cannot compare to Sima You Yue.”\n“These years, we have been focusing on expanding our sect. Many have already forgotten how to be vigilant in these peaceful times. This kind of outcome is bad.” Vice Palace Head said with furrowed eyebrows, “The future of our Innumerable Green Palace is in the hands of these youngsters. If they do not grow well, this will only mean trouble for the future of our Innumerable Green Palace. We might walk down the wrong path.”\n“It’s time to organise the general culture of this palace.” Qing Yuan said, “I leave this to the both of you to settle.”\n“Yes, Palace Master.” The two of them replied simultaneously.\n“I’ve actually received an invitation for the auction happening next, next month. I have to go and take a look. I have to show some respect for the Xuan Yuan Pavilion.” Qing Yuan said.\n“Who will we send?” Vice Palace Master asked.\n“I will go personally. I will just take a few others with me.” Qing Yuan said, “Lian Ze, why don’t you forget about settling the issues of our culture and choose someone else to do it. Lian Ze, you will go with me to participate in the auction.”\n“I feel that a few from the younger generation who have initiative can be brought along to expose themselves to this.” Vice Palace Master said.\nOn the morning of the second day, Sima You Yue and the others had a palace maid come by their house. The palace maid bowed to Sima You Yue and the others, saying, “Dear guests, the Palace Master invites you to see him.”\nSima You Yue’s eyebrows raised as she exchanged glances with Bei Gong Tang. “Since the Palace Master has invited us, we shall go and pay him a visit.”" } ]
第480章 司马幽月拿过令牌看了看，问：“我可以试试吗？” “你进去了马上就得出来，里面的凶兽还是很厉害的。” 连泽没有反对。 司马幽月拿着令牌继续往前走，那结界果然没有再拦住她。 她走了两步又出来，将令牌还给他，道：“这东西倒是稀奇。” “这是殿主亲自找人做的，说是和万青殿的许多地方的结界都相通的。” 连泽将令牌收起来，“我们继续往下两个地方看看吧。” “好。” 后面两个地方连泽并没有带他们靠近，都是远远的望了一眼就离开了，看来这两个地方有着不能说的秘密。 不过哪个大教没有几个秘密地方，万青殿这还算少的了。 “看了这么久也走得累了，天色也有些晚了。 我们回云翔殿去吧。” “好。” 几人回去后，司马幽月他们住到了客房，而连泽则被人叫走了。 “幽月，你怎么想着去看那些禁地了？” 北宫棠他们在外面不会质疑她的话和行动，可是没有外人的时候，他们还是会问一下，因为他们知道，幽月不会无缘无故的做这些事情。 “我们下午刚来的时候不是放出去几只赤蜂吗？” 司马幽月说。 “嗯，好像是看到你动了一下。” 司马幽麟说，“听到什么消息了？” “我让它们去找了一下夏忠他们的地方，正好听到他和他妻子打算把我们弄到禁地去，然后让万青殿的人处罚我们。 当然，如果我们能死在里面，就更如他们所愿了。” 司马幽月说。 “这夏忠，找了夏家人来看来没讨到好处，没想到还没死心。” “有这样的父母，难怪会教出那样的女儿。” 欧阳飞说，“看来也得给他们一个教训，不然心里这口气可出不了。” “小梦晚上会让他们好好享受享受的。” 司马幽月说。 “小梦，你可得好好惩罚惩罚他们。” 北宫棠摸着小梦的头，说：“我们因为实力的原因不能直接灭了他们，也不能惹上太大的麻烦，所以不能明着收拾那俩老家伙，现在就指望你了。” “你放心吧，我知道怎么做的的。” 小梦认真的点点头。 她在灵魂塔里的时候就对夏莹莹他们欺负气愤的很，恨不得出来揍他们一顿，魏子淇和司马幽然就给她分析幽月现在的情况，告诉她不能给司马幽月添乱，然后教了她要如何做才能神不知的鬼不觉的为幽月报仇。 她是属于比较特别的魔兽，可以对人进行精神上的攻击，让对方陷入噩梦当中，或者是营造一种环境，让人陷入幻觉当中。 这种攻击不显山不露水，一般人没接触过，甚至根本就不知道梦魇兽的存在，所以很难有人会注意到。 “你还是小心点。” 司马幽月说，“这万青殿这么大的一个教派，肯定会有厉害的人，到时候如果发现了就麻烦了。” “我明白的。” 小梦说，“不过那些人现在的实力也不高，我的传承记忆里说，对方只要没破君级，就不会有问题。” 灵级上面是神级，神级上面是君级，过了君级是帝级，而整个大陆也没见帝级的人出来，所以她这一手是不会有人发现的。 司马幽月听她这么说，点点头，说：“既然如此，那你就下手狠点。” 小梦笑着应道。 不用主人说，她都会这么做的。 “好了，大家都回屋吧。” 司马幽月说，“他们要明天才会动手呢。” 与此同时，连泽去了主殿。 “参见殿主、副殿主。” 连泽朝主位上的一位老者行了个礼。 白衣白须，正是在第一禁地看到的那个老人。 “连泽，今日那些人是什么人？” 殿主清源问。 “那是我在连家的时候认识的人……”连泽把司马幽月他们的事情给清源说了一下。 清源说，“夏莹莹那个事情，忆月楼那边的态度也有些不高兴，回头还要让人去好好赔礼道歉。” “殿主，恕我直言，现在的年轻一辈确实有些骄纵过头了，他们打着万青殿的名号在外面欺人霸市，已经有不少人对我们产生了怨言。 夏莹莹这个事情好在幽月他们性子好，如果是遇到不好说话的，直接带着四翼飞鹏一族来讨个公道，就算不会有灭教那么严重，可是代价也会非惨重。” “嗯，现在年轻一辈的人确实有些不好，我在第一禁地上面打坐的时候，听到他们在下面咒骂，他们想的并不是自己哪里做错了，而是如何在出来后找他们报仇。 心里的仇恨才是他们坚持下来的动力。” 这个现象并不好。” 副殿主也皱着眉头说，“万青殿的以后也是要交给年轻一辈的，他们如果发展不好的话，只怕我们万青殿以后就麻烦了，比必然会走下坡路。” “是时候整顿一下殿里的风气了。” 清源说，“这件事情就交给你们俩来处理。” “是，殿主。” 两人异口同声应道。 “下下个月的拍卖会，既然我们收到了请帖，那就去看看，轩辕阁的面子是必须要给的。” 清源说。 “那派谁去呢？” 副殿主问。 “我亲自去，另外带几个人过去就可以了。” 清源说，“要不连泽先不管肃清风气的事情，你另外选人做。 连泽你和我一起去参加拍卖会。” “是，殿主。” “我觉得年轻一辈那几个有担当的也可以带去见识见识。” 副殿主说。 第二日一早，司马幽月他们的院子就来了一个婢女，那婢女来了后给司马幽月他们行了个礼，说：“各位贵客，殿主有请。” 司马幽月眉毛一挑，和北宫棠他们对望一眼。 “既然殿主请我们，我们就过去拜会一下吧。”
Chapter 480 - Teaching Little Dream the wrong things Sima You Yue took the token and took a look and asked, “Can I try?” “You have to come out right after going in. The beasts in there are very powerful.” Lian Ze did not stop her. “Alright.” Sima You Yue took the token and continued to walk forward. That barrier really did not stop her. She took two steps forward before coming back out. She took the token and returned it to him, saying, “This thing is truly strange.” “This is something that the Palace Master had personally gotten someone to craft. It is said to be linked to many of the barriers in the Innumerable Green Palace.” Lian Ze kept the token away, “Let’s continue to take a look at the two places below.” “Okay.” Lian Ze did not take her too close to the other two areas. They merely looked at them from afar. It seemed that the two places held some kind of secret. However, which sect held no secretive places? Innumerable Green Palace could be said to have relatively little secret places. “You must be tired from the tour. It is also getting rather late. Let us return to the Soaring Cloud Palace.” Lian Ze said. “Okay.” After the few of them returned, Sima You Yue and the others went to the hall while someone had called for Lian Ze. “You Yue, how did you think of going to take a look at those forbidden areas?” Bei Gong Tang and the others would not question her words or actions when they were outside, but would ask her when nobody was around. This was because they knew that Sima You Yue would not do something for no good reason. “DIdn’t we release a few scarlet bees in the afternoon?” Sima You Yue said. “Yeah, I think I saw you use a few of them.” Sima You LIn said, “Did you get wind of some news?” “I got them to look for the whereabouts of Xia Zhong and the others. I just happened to hear that he and his wife were planning to throw us into the forbidden area, then get some Innumerable Green Palace’s men to punish us. Of course, if we were to die inside, it would be according to their wishes.” Sima You Yue said. “This Xian Zhong… whenever we bump into a Xia clansmen, nothing good happens. I never thought that they would refuse to give up.” Bei Gong Tang said. “Without this kind of parents, how could their daughter turn out this way?” Ouyang Fei said. “Looks like we have to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they would never let go of their plots.” “Little Dream will let them have a good time tonight.” Sima You Yue said. “Little Dream, you have to punish them well, okay.” Bei Gong Tang patted Little Dream’s head, saying, “We can’t just exterminate them because of some reasons due to strength, and can’t stir up too much trouble. That’s why we can’t just get rid of those two oldies so obviously. We can only leave it to you.” “You can leave it to me. I know what to do.” Little Dream nodded her head seriously. When she was in the Spirit Pagoda, she was extremely pissed off with Xia Ying Ying and the others and almost couldn’t stop herself from coming out to beat them up. Wei Zi Qi and Sima You Ran analysed Sima You Yue’s current situation and told her that she couldn’t mess things up for Sima You Yue. After that, they taught her how to take revenge for Sima You Yue in a way that nobody would be able to catch on to. She was a devil beast that was rather special. She was able to attack one’s mind, causing them to sink into a nightmare or construct an illusory environment, causing one to be stuck in a hallucination. This attack would not leave any traces, and most people had never encountered it. They did not even know of Little Dream’s existence, so it would be hard for someone to notice it. “You should still be careful.” Sima You Yue said, “A large sect like the Innumerable Green Palace will have very powerful people. It will be troublesome if we get discovered.” “I understand.” Little Dream said, “However, those people are not that strong right now. My inherited memories tell me that there will be no problem as long as the other party has not passed the Monarch rank.” Above the Spirit Rank was Divine rank, and above the Divine rank was Monarch rank. After the Monarch rank was the Emperor rank. There wasn’t a single Emperor ranked person who had come from the entire continent. That was why nobody would find out. Sima You Yue nodded when she heard what she said, saying, “Since that’s the case, you can be vicious.” “Great.” Little Dream smiled in reply. There was no need for Master to say it, this was the plan. “Alright. Everyone should go back.” Sima You Yue said, “They will only act tomorrow.” At this moment, Lian Ze was at the main palace. “Greetings to Palace Master, Vice Palace Master.” Lian Ze bowed towards an elder sitting above. White clothes and beard. He had seen that old man on the first forbidden area. “Lian Ze, who were those people here with you today?” Palace Master Qian Yuan asked straightforwardly. “Those are people that I met when I was at the Lian Clan…” Lian Ze told Qing Yuan the story of how he met Sima You Yue and what happened. “The Contracted Master of the King of the Rocs.

An island atop the great Darknorth Sea.\nJi Ning was viewing the scenery before him. Although it was winter, the innate heat within this island kept it in perpetual spring. The island blossomed with flowers and was quite beautiful to behold.\nFinally…he and his daughter was going to be reunited with his wife. The three of them would be reunited once more, as a family.\nA ripple of power descended. Startled, Ning turned his head to look.\nA black-robed man was standing at the end of an upraised path in the distance. The black-robed man sauntered towards him, a smile on his face. “This island isn’t bad. It’s quite beautiful. Your Primaltwin remains on the Deerchaser world, but your true body has appeared. It seems you have emerged from Undermoon Lake.”\n“Yes.” Ning nodded.\n“Formidable, formidable.” The black-robed Godking nodded, letting out a sigh of praise. “To tell you the truth, Ji Ning…although the two of us are on enemy sides, I admit I’m quite shocked and impressed that you were able to emerge from Undermoon Lake in just six hundred short years. Jueming entered during the Primordial Era and was only able to escape during the Three Realms era.”\nNing said, “I’ve emerged. Isn’t it time for you to hold to your promise?”\n“Did you bring the treasures I asked for?” The black-robed Godking laughed, “Per what I originally said, I would only release Yu Wei’s soul to you once you gave the treasures to me.”\n“I brought them.” Ning’s heartrate began to speed up uncontrollably, but he was able to remain calm.\n“I trust that you have the other two treasures…but what of the Iceheart Leaf?” The black-robed Godking laughed.\nNing waved his hand. A semi-transparent, crystalline Iceheart Leaf suddenly appeared, levitating above his hands.\n“It really is an Iceheart Leaf.” The black-robed Godking inspected it carefully, a slightly intoxicated look in his eyes. “It really is quite beautiful, just as the legends said it to be. This is my first time to see an Iceheart Leaf in person. Mmm…alright. You can destroy it now.”\n“Destroy it?” Ning’s heart sank. What was the meaning of this? Why was he being told to bring, then destroy the Iceheart Leaf?\n“Now that I’ve seen it, it’s of no further use to me.” The black-robed Godking looked at Ning. “I just wanted the chance to look at it, that’s all.”\n“I brought you the treasures that you asked for. Please give my senior apprentice-sister’s soul back to me,” Ning immediately said.\n“Ahaha….” The black-robed Godking let out an ear-piercing laugh, an uproarious laugh, a crazy laugh. He laughed so hard, tears nearly came out of his eyes. His entire body trembled from laughter as he pointed a quavering hand at Ning. “Oh, Ji Ning, Ji Ning…and to think that you are a ‘peerless genius of this age’. Haven’t you understood yet? When I told you to get me Iceheart Leaf, I simply wanted to force you into Undermoon Lake. The leaf, the other treasures…although they are of some use to me as a Daofather, they are meaningless to the Seamless Gate as a whole. Did you really think I would care about those three treasures?”\n“All I wanted was for you to enter Undermoon Lake!”\n“Although you managed to emerge after six hundred years…it was enough. It was enough. Our ‘Three Realms infiltration phase’ is complete. Our Seamless Gate is battling against your Nuwa Alliance on the Deerchaser world, and soon the entire war for karmic luck will be at an end. The infiltration phase is over. It no longer matters.” The black-robed Godking roared with laughter. “If you came out after just one or two centuries, I’d probably have to come up with something else, but six hundred years? You are no longer a threat.”\n“No threat at all.”\n“Nowadays, our Seamless Gate’s forces are sent out in massive armies. You, a mere True Immortal with that feeble Rahu-something formation…what can you possibly do?” The black-robed Godking continued to roar with ear-piercing laughter like a madman.\nYears ago, the Godking had been forced by Ning to bow his head. The Godking had been enraged to the point of wanting to kill Ning, but it wasn’t appropriate for him to personally act. However, the chance to see Ning enraged, see Ning feel despair…that would be even more delightful than simply killing him.\nAs the black-robed Godking laughed with abandon, he kept a careful watch over Ning, noting every single change in expression. He wanted to see Ning’s face become filled with panic and despair. Only then would the demon in his heart be satisfied! Other Immortal cultivators might be afraid of their dark side, but the Godking was a cultivator of Lord Demonheart’s arts. He himself was the veritable incarnation of a mental devil, while his master was the Lord of the Demonheart.\nBut…he was disappointed.\nNing just stood there. Stood there, not reacting at all.\nCrack. Something suddenly seemed to shatter.\nThat woman who had quietly, blissfully watched with a smile on her face as Ning had trained in the sword…she was never coming back.\nPain!\nNing felt agonizing pain in his heart. Pain that made him feel nauseous. Pain that was about to drive him insane. He wanted to laugh…he wanted to roar…but he couldn’t make any sound at all. For many years now, the karmic sinflames had been constantly burning against his body, but Ning had never cared about the pain they brought. In this moment, however…the pain he felt was ten thousand times greater than the pain from the karmic sinflames.\nSuddenly, a dry laugh rattled out from Ning’s mouth.\nHe sounded almost like a toddler who had just learned how to speak.\n“Aha…ahaha…ahahaha….” Ning began to laugh wildly. He finally began to laugh, and his tears finally began to fall as well.\nUpon seeing this, the black-robed Godking finally let out a satisfied smile. This was more like it. This was the reaction he had expected. For a brief moment, just now, the man hadn’t been reacting at all.\n“Ahahaha…I knew all along that you weren’t worthy of my trust…” Ning’s eyes were completely bloodshot now. He laughed wildly, “I knew it all along. You, ‘Godking’, you toy with the hearts of men, causing chaos throughout the Three Realms. How could your promises be worth believing? But I still chose to believe, and I even entered Undermoon Lake, doing everything I could to return as soon as possible.”\n“I even impatiently ran over here to hand those three treasures over to you. I knew that your promises were as worthless as dogshit…but I still came. I held onto hope. A tiny shred of hope…hope…hope that she would be able to come back.”\n“I hoped that she would be able to come back.”\n“Brightmoon and I…we miss her. I want our family to be together again. That’s all I want. My family to be together.”\n“But you…finally…you have finally destroyed my last bit of hope. You destroyed it.” Ning laughed so madly, he was shaking. “Ahaha…it was all just wishful thinking…I was just dreaming. I was lying to myself this entire time. Lying to myself. Telling myself that we could still be together. What a joke. I am such a joke. A joke!”\nThe black-robed Godking could sense how the heart of the youth before him had shattered. Could sense his agony. His despair. The destruction of that last shred of hope.\nThe Godking…was satisfied.\nThis was more like it. This was true agony. This was true heartbreak.\nThe Godking looked at Ning. “It is time for you to wake up. You need to understand that at this current stage of the war, a single Empyrean God like you cannot have any impact at all. By now, only a large number of Empyrean Gods and True Immortals joined together will have any effect. Still…I’m a man who appreciates talent.”\n“I’ll once more invite you to join the Seamless Gate. So long as you are willing to join us, you’ll immediately be able to reunite with your wife. Don’t you wish to be with her? Don’t you wish for your daughter to reunite with her mother? If you join the Seamless Gate, it will all happen. As a member of the Seamless Gate, you’ll be one of us…and I’ll naturally stop plotting against you. In fact, I’ll be quite good to you. You are a true expert amongst Empyrean Gods and True Immortals, after all. Although you won’t be able to change the course of the entire war for karmic luck, you’ll still be of some use.”\n“If you join the Seamless Gate now, you’ll be able to reunite with your wife. But if you refuse…well. She’ll be of no further use to me. I’ll kill her. I’ll shatter her soul. Ahahaha…”\n“You have no other choices.” The black-robed Godking looked at Ning.\nNing…was still bent over with laughter. “Joke. I’m a joke.”\n“Thank you.” Ning straightened his back, raising his head to stare unblinkingly at the black-robed Godking.\nThe black-robed Godking’s heart skipped a beat.\nWhat sort of a look was that? Such powerful heartforce…such a terrible gaze. If this was the gaze of an ordinary mortal, the Godking wouldn’t care at all, but this was Ji Ning, who had reached the fourth stage of heartforce. The black-robed Godking could sense that behind that gaze, there was an endless, blazing, burning hatred that not all the waters of the Three Realms would suffice to quench.\nA desire to kill that had seeped into his spirit…his very truesoul itself.\n“Thank you for destroying my hopes. Thank you for bringing my wishful thoughts to an end. Thank you…for freeing me from all my doubts.”\n“Let’s take it slow, you and I. The day is still young. Soon…I will make sure to properly thank you for all you have done.”\nAfter speaking, Ning turned and left, transforming into a streak of light.\n“If you refuse, your wife will be useless to me. I will kill her,” the black-robed Godking immediately howled after him.\n“My wife is already dead. I killed her!” Ning’s voice echoed in the air, but he himself had already departed from the Grand Xia." } ]
第十二章 大夏世界，北冥大海上的一座海岛。 纪宁正看着眼前的景色，虽然如今是冬天，可这岛屿蕴含的内热却让这岛屿四季如春，岛上更是鲜花盛开，美丽的很。 “师姐。” “我们就要见面了，我们一家也要团聚了。” 纪宁一震，当即转头看去。 远处崎岖小路尽头正站着一名黑袍人，黑袍人正悠闲走了过来，带着笑容：“这座岛屿不错，很是美丽，你的第二元神还在逐鹿大世界，本尊却出现了，看来你从月下潭出来了。” 纪宁点头。 “厉害，厉害。” 黑袍神王点头赞叹，“说实话，纪宁，虽然你我为敌对两方，可能够短短六百年就从月下潭出来，还是让我吃惊啊，那觉明可是上古时被困，三界时才出来。” 纪宁道：“我出来了，你是否应该遵守承诺？” 黑袍神王笑着，“按照我当初所说，你将宝物给我。 我将你师姐余薇的魂魄归还于你。” “带来了。” 纪宁心跳都忍不住加速，还维持着平静。 “其他两样宝物我相信你，那冰心灵叶呢？” 黑袍神王道。 纪宁一翻手，手掌上顿时悬浮着晶莹的近乎半透明的冰心灵叶。 黑袍神王仔细看着。 眼神隐隐有些迷醉，“真漂亮，和传说中的一样，这还是我第一次亲眼看到冰心灵叶的模样。 嗯。 纪宁心一沉。 让自己毁掉冰心灵叶，什么意思？ “我看过了，它对我也就没什么用了。” 黑袍神王看着纪宁，“我只是想要看看它罢了。” 那什么一株冰心灵叶，什么其他宝物？ 这些宝物对我这个道祖而言又算什么。 对整个无间门而言更是什么都算不上。 你以为我会在乎这三件宝物？” “我要的，只是让你进月下潭啊！” 三界渗透已经完成了，现在我们无间门和女娲阵营已经在逐鹿大世界交战，整个气运之争都要不了多久了，现在根本不需要渗透了。” 黑袍神王哈哈笑着，“你如果仅仅进去一两百年就出来，我可能还得想办法，可六百年……你已经没威胁了。” “一丁点的威胁都没有。” “我无间门现在的战争，那都是派出大军，浩浩荡荡的大军。 你一个天神真仙再加上那破烂般的罗睺阵，又算得了什么？” 当年被纪宁逼得低头，黑袍神王早就有些杀意怨气了，他虽然不好动手，可是如果能看到纪宁气急败坏、绝望的样子……那比杀纪宁还让他痛快。 黑袍神王在狂笑的同时，也在看着纪宁，看着纪宁的每一丝表情，他想要从纪宁脸上找到‘气急败坏，绝望’来满足他的心魔！ 其他修仙者怕心魔，可是修炼心魔之道的黑袍神王……本身就是化身心魔啊，他师傅更是心魔之主。 他失望了。 纪宁只是站在那，没有任何反应的站在那。 心中仿佛什么碎了。 那总是静静在一旁幸福笑着看着自己练剑的女子，回不来了。 纪宁感到自己的心，疼的难受，疼的要发疯，他想要大笑，想要怒吼。 可是他却什么声音都发不出来。 这么多年来虽然一直业火缠身，可纪宁从来没在乎过，可是此刻的疼痛却比业火灼烧之痛可怕千倍万倍。 忽然干涩的笑声从纪宁口中传出。 仿佛刚学说话的孩子。 “哈哈哈……哈哈哈……”纪宁狂笑了起来，他终于笑出来了，眼泪也终于流出来来了。 黑袍神王看着这才满意笑了，这才对嘛，这才是正常反应嘛，刚才竟然那么长时间竟然一点反应都没有。 “哈哈哈，我早知道你不值得相信。” 纪宁眼睛都泛红，显然已经充血，纪宁狂笑着，“我早知道的，你这个神王玩弄人心，惑乱三界，你的承诺哪里值得信。 可是我还是信了，我还是进入了月下潭，还是拼尽一切尽快的出来。” “我还是眼巴巴的拿着三件宝物来找你，我明明知道，你的承诺几乎就是狗屁。 可是我还是来了，因为我抱着希望，抱着一丝希望……希望……希望师姐她能回来。” “希望她能回来啊。” 纪宁笑的发颤，笑的癫狂，“哈哈哈，我真的一厢情愿，一厢情愿。 一直都在自己欺骗自己，欺骗自己，欺骗还能和师姐在一起。 真是可笑啊，我真是个笑话，笑话。” 黑袍神王能够感受到眼前少年的心碎，感受到他的痛苦，感受到他的绝望，这是最后一丝希望也破灭的绝望。 神王满意了。 舒畅了。 这才对嘛，这才叫痛苦，这叫心碎。 “你应该醒悟了吧，醒悟到了浩劫如今这个时候，你一个天神真仙已经影响不了大局了，这个时候靠的还是众多天神真仙联合的力量。 不过我还是爱惜人才的。” 神王看着纪宁，“我再次邀请你加入我无间门，只要你愿意加入我无间门，可以立即和你的师姐在一起哦，你不是很想和她在一起吗？ 不是很想你的女儿、你和你师姐一家团聚吗？ 毕竟你在天神真仙中也算是真正的天才高手，在最后的气运之争上虽然影响不了大局，还是有些用的。” “现在你加入我无间门，你就可以和你师姐团聚了。 “你没别的选择。” 黑袍神王看着纪宁。 纪宁却还在弯着腰笑着：“笑话，我就是个笑话。” “谢谢你。” 纪宁直起身子，抬头看着黑袍神王，盯着黑袍神王。 黑袍神王心一跳。 什么样的眼神啊，心力强盛眼神一般越可怕，如果是一个凡人再发疯他也不在乎，可是心力第四层的纪宁的眼神让黑袍神王感觉到了那‘眼神’背后蕴含的倾尽整个三界的海水也无法洗刷的无尽仇恨和杀意。 那是深入魂魄真灵的杀意。 “谢谢你让我的希望破灭，让我的一厢情愿破灭，谢谢你，让我不再有丝毫犹豫。 我们慢慢来吧，后面的日子还长着。 我会好好谢谢你的。” 纪宁说完后转头就走，化作流光便飞离开去。 “你不答应，你师姐就没用了，我会杀了她。” 黑袍神王连吼道。 “师姐死了，我杀死的！” 纪宁的声音回响天地间，人已经离开了大夏世界。
Book 21, Chapter 12 - Wishful Thinking The world of the Grand Xia. An island atop the great Darknorth Sea. Ji Ning was viewing the scenery before him. Although it was winter, the innate heat within this island kept it in perpetual spring. The island blossomed with flowers and was quite beautiful to behold. Finally…he and his daughter was going to be reunited with his wife. The three of them would be reunited once more, as a family. A ripple of power descended. Startled, Ning turned his head to look. A black-robed man was standing at the end of an upraised path in the distance. The black-robed man sauntered towards him, a smile on his face. “This island isn’t bad. It’s quite beautiful. Your Primaltwin remains on the Deerchaser world, but your true body has appeared. It seems you have emerged from Undermoon Lake.” “Yes.” Ning nodded. “Formidable, formidable.” The black-robed Godking nodded, letting out a sigh of praise. “To tell you the truth, Ji Ning…although the two of us are on enemy sides, I admit I’m quite shocked and impressed that you were able to emerge from Undermoon Lake in just six hundred short years. Jueming entered during the Primordial Era and was only able to escape during the Three Realms era.” Ning said, “I’ve emerged. Isn’t it time for you to hold to your promise?” “Did you bring the treasures I asked for?” The black-robed Godking laughed, “Per what I originally said, I would only release Yu Wei’s soul to you once you gave the treasures to me.” “I brought them.” Ning’s heartrate began to speed up uncontrollably, but he was able to remain calm. “I trust that you have the other two treasures…but what of the Iceheart Leaf?” The black-robed Godking laughed. Ning waved his hand. A semi-transparent, crystalline Iceheart Leaf suddenly appeared, levitating above his hands. “It really is an Iceheart Leaf.” The black-robed Godking inspected it carefully, a slightly intoxicated look in his eyes. “It really is quite beautiful, just as the legends said it to be. This is my first time to see an Iceheart Leaf in person. Mmm…alright. You can destroy it now.” “Destroy it?” Ning’s heart sank. What was the meaning of this? Why was he being told to bring, then destroy the Iceheart Leaf? “Now that I’ve seen it, it’s of no further use to me.” The black-robed Godking looked at Ning. “I just wanted the chance to look at it, that’s all.” “I brought you the treasures that you asked for. Please give my senior apprentice-sister’s soul back to me,” Ning immediately said. “Ahaha….” The black-robed Godking let out an ear-piercing laugh, an uproarious laugh, a crazy laugh. He laughed so hard, tears nearly came out of his eyes. His entire body trembled from laughter as he pointed a quavering hand at Ning. “Oh, Ji Ning, Ji Ning…and to think that you are a ‘peerless genius of this age’. Haven’t you understood yet? When I told you to get me Iceheart Leaf, I simply wanted to force you into Undermoon Lake. The leaf, the other treasures…although they are of some use to me as a Daofather, they are meaningless to the Seamless Gate as a whole. Did you really think I would care about those three treasures?” “All I wanted was for you to enter Undermoon Lake!” “Although you managed to emerge after six hundred years…it was enough. It was enough. Our ‘Three Realms infiltration phase’ is complete. Our Seamless Gate is battling against your Nuwa Alliance on the Deerchaser world, and soon the entire war for karmic luck will be at an end. The infiltration phase is over. It no longer matters.” The black-robed Godking roared with laughter. “If you came out after just one or two centuries, I’d probably have to come up with something else, but six hundred years? You are no longer a threat.” “No threat at all.” “Nowadays, our Seamless Gate’s forces are sent out in massive armies. You, a mere True Immortal with that feeble Rahu-something formation…what can you possibly do?” The black-robed Godking continued to roar with ear-piercing laughter like a madman. Years ago, the Godking had been forced by Ning to bow his head. The Godking had been enraged to the point of wanting to kill Ning, but it wasn’t appropriate for him to personally act. However, the chance to see Ning enraged, see Ning feel despair…that would be even more delightful than simply killing him. As the black-robed Godking laughed with abandon, he kept a careful watch over Ning, noting every single change in expression. He wanted to see Ning’s face become filled with panic and despair. Only then would the demon in his heart be satisfied! Other Immortal cultivators might be afraid of their dark side, but the Godking was a cultivator of Lord Demonheart’s arts. He himself was the veritable incarnation of a mental devil, while his master was the Lord of the Demonheart. But…he was disappointed. Ning just stood there. Stood there, not reacting at all. Crack. Something suddenly seemed to shatter. That woman who had quietly, blissfully watched with a smile on her face as Ning had trained in the sword…she was never coming back. Pain! Ning felt agonizing pain in his heart. Pain that made him feel nauseous. Pain that was about to drive him insane. He wanted to laugh…he wanted to roar…but he couldn’t make any sound at all. For many years now, the karmic sinflames had been constantly burning against his body, but Ning had never cared about the pain they brought. In this moment, however…the pain he felt was ten thousand times greater than the pain from the karmic sinflames. Suddenly, a dry laugh rattled out from Ning’s mouth. He sounded almost like a toddler who had just learned how to speak. “Aha…ahaha…ahahaha….” Ning began to laugh wildly. He finally began to laugh, and his tears finally began to fall as well. Upon seeing this, the black-robed Godking finally let out a satisfied smile. This was more like it. This was the reaction he had expected. For a brief moment, just now, the man hadn’t been reacting at all. “Ahahaha…I knew all along that you weren’t worthy of my trust…” Ning’s eyes were completely bloodshot now. He laughed wildly, “I knew it all along. You, ‘Godking’, you toy with the hearts of men, causing chaos throughout the Three Realms. How could your promises be worth believing? But I still chose to believe, and I even entered Undermoon Lake, doing everything I could to return as soon as possible.” “I even impatiently ran over here to hand those three treasures over to you. I knew that your promises were as worthless as dogshit…but I still came. I held onto hope. A tiny shred of hope…hope…hope that she would be able to come back.” “I hoped that she would be able to come back.” “Brightmoon and I…we miss her. I want our family to be together again. That’s all I want. My family to be together.” “But you…finally…you have finally destroyed my last bit of hope. You destroyed it.” Ning laughed so madly, he was shaking. “Ahaha…it was all just wishful thinking…I was just dreaming. I was lying to myself this entire time. Lying to myself. Telling myself that we could still be together. What a joke. I am such a joke. A joke!” The black-robed Godking could sense how the heart of the youth before him had shattered. Could sense his agony. His despair. The destruction of that last shred of hope. The Godking…was satisfied. This was more like it. This was true agony. This was true heartbreak. The Godking looked at Ning. “It is time for you to wake up. You need to understand that at this current stage of the war, a single Empyrean God like you cannot have any impact at all. By now, only a large number of Empyrean Gods and True Immortals joined together will have any effect. Still…I’m a man who appreciates talent.” “I’ll once more invite you to join the Seamless Gate. So long as you are willing to join us, you’ll immediately be able to reunite with your wife. Don’t you wish to be with her? Don’t you wish for your daughter to reunite with her mother? If you join the Seamless Gate, it will all happen. As a member of the Seamless Gate, you’ll be one of us…and I’ll naturally stop plotting against you. In fact, I’ll be quite good to you. You are a true expert amongst Empyrean Gods and True Immortals, after all. Although you won’t be able to change the course of the entire war for karmic luck, you’ll still be of some use.” “If you join the Seamless Gate now, you’ll be able to reunite with your wife. But if you refuse…well. She’ll be of no further use to me. I’ll kill her. I’ll shatter her soul. Ahahaha…” “You have no other choices.” The black-robed Godking looked at Ning. Ning…was still bent over with laughter. “Joke. I’m a joke.” “Thank you.” Ning straightened his back, raising his head to stare unblinkingly at the black-robed Godking. The black-robed Godking’s heart skipped a beat. What sort of a look was that? Such powerful heartforce…such a terrible gaze. If this was the gaze of an ordinary mortal, the Godking wouldn’t care at all, but this was Ji Ning, who had reached the fourth stage of heartforce. The black-robed Godking could sense that behind that gaze, there was an endless, blazing, burning hatred that not all the waters of the Three Realms would suffice to quench. A desire to kill that had seeped into his spirit…his very truesoul itself. “Thank you for destroying my hopes. Thank you for bringing my wishful thoughts to an end. Thank you…for freeing me from all my doubts.” “Let’s take it slow, you and I. The day is still young. Soon…I will make sure to properly thank you for all you have done.” After speaking, Ning turned and left, transforming into a streak of light. “If you refuse, your wife will be useless to me. I will kill her,” the black-robed Godking immediately howled after him. “My wife is already dead. I killed her!” Ning’s voice echoed in the air, but he himself had already departed from the Grand Xia.

Shen Yinghu was clothed in white and sitting in the pavilion, sluggishly looking at Lee Hanyan.\nLee Hanyan lowered her eye lids and stood in silence. She seemed to have blend in with the red pillar of the pavilion.\nShen Yinghu broke the silence, “Your big brother Du wants me to let you out of the valley less, he is concerned of your safety.”\nLee Hanyan pursed her lips.\nShen Yinghu smiled, “I heard things about Du Feng. Committing innumerable murders like a psycho. You must not learn from him.”\nLee Hanyan knitted her brow and swallowed her objection.\nShe felt that big brother Du killed for the good, impassioned and forceful.\nThese scums and dirtbags should be killed. If they weren’t killed, it would be unknown how many innocents be sacrificed. Big brother Du was enforcing justice for heaven.\nShen Yinghu rebutted, “He dared to do that because his cultivation level is high. How many are out to get him now? If it were you, you will not live more than two days so don’t learn from him!”\n“What kind of heart technique would you like to master?” Shen Yinghu said, “Your heart technique is cultivated well, similar to that of Snow Lunar Pavilion.”\n“I’ll follow your arrangement.”\n“Then continue to master this. Everything that Du Feng has its meaning,” Shen Yinghu sighed, “How is he now?”\nLee Hanyan was momentarily stunned, she lifted her head in incomprehension.\nShen Yinghu continued, “How was his mood? Fine, if his mood was fine he wouldn’t be killing that many. These people are really unlucky to meet his blade.”\nShe understood that Chu Li was on a killing spree to vent his rage.\nLee Hanyan asked, “What’s going on with big brother Du?”\n“Poor fellow.” Shen Yinghu pursed her lips to a smile, “Lost in love.”\nLee Hanyan’s clear eyes widened in disbelief.\nShen Yinghu saw her expression and started laughing.\nLee Hanyan lowered her head in embarrassment but still in disbelief.\nCould it be Du Xia?\nHow could any women reject a character such as big brother Du? This Du Xia must be blind.\n“It’s not as you imagine.” Shen Yinghu stopped laughing, her cheeks were rosy from laughing, looking dashing and delicate, “It was he who left Du Xia.”\n“Why?” Lee Hanyan asked.\n“Du Xia’s martial arts required her to have no worries and attachments. In order to let her become a better master than he is, he broke up.” Shen Yinghu sluggishly smiled, “Silly, isn’t he?”\n“So I see…” Lee Hanyan was surprised. She lamented, “Big brother Du must be having a hard time.”\n“He is a fool!” Shen Yinghu sighed, “For women to cultivate to become undefeatable, they will be forever alone. Your big brother Du is doing no good for him or her.”\nLee Hanyan exclaimed, “Big brother Du is more powerful than sister Du Xia!”\nShen Yinghu pursed her lip in laughter, “You have limited experience, what do you know?”\n“Who could beat big brother Du?” Lee Hanyan couldn’t give up, “If indeed there is, that person would have appeared already!”\n“He is now only a grandmaster, Du Xi is on her way to enlightened master.” Shen Yinghu flung her arm and laughed, “It’s been a while since I’m this happy…, Alright, let’s go with you. Continue from before, are you mastering knife or sword?”\n“Big brother Du had me practice with a sword.” Lee Hanyan explained, “The knife technique is only for during leisure.”\n“He’s afraid your murderous intent would be too strong.” Shen Yinghu smiled, “Two days later, you’ll follow Du Qiu to White Skeletal Mountain to deliver a letter. Take a break. Don’t keep hiding in the valley.”\nGreen Hill was behaving at the moment and has not recovered from before and dared not create havoc so leaving the valley would be deemed safe. Chu Li wanted Lee Hanyan to leave the valley less and not entirely. “Yes,” Lee Hanyan replied.\nShen Yinghu waved her porcelain arm, “You’re dismissed. Just follow Du Qiu as usual.”\n“Yes,” Lee Hanyan fist saluted and was excused. ——\nIt was evening when Chu Li bathed in kindled evening, standing outside of Green Mountain Town.\nThe towering city gates and sky scraping city walls was not inferior to Chong Ming Town. Its community was doubled of Chong Ming Town, ever more thriving and bustling.\nHe took off from Snow Lunar Pavilion, levitated in a hurry and reached Green Mountain Town in a few days’ time.\nHe did not stop during the entire way and was too lazy to start a killing spree.\nAfter taking a look around, he advanced his steps to the gates of Green Mountain Town.\nThe entrance was guarded by two tough men at their prime. They were valiant with sharp sight. They sized up Chu Li before spotting his knife on his waist.\nChu Li was dressed in a spotless white robe with no hint of cultivation.\nThere were no changes to his temple and the top of his head. His eyes were unclear. His spirit was not plentiful. One look and one could tell he knew no martial arts.\nThe two guards took a few glances at his knife and snorted. They then waved him in.\nThe person in front of Chu Li had to undergo a series of interrogations. He was a martial artist. His spirit was plentiful.\nAfter a series of interrogations, the two guards even gave a fair warning.\nGreen Mountain Town has its own regulation, that forbade the start of a fight. Once a fight was started, the lighter sentence was the abolishment of cultivation and banishment from town, the heavier would be a death sentence, executed by the Town Defense Prefecture and the House of High Duke. There would be no exceptions. Pride had to be swallowed if one cherished life.\nThat martial artist was questioned to the point of impatience plus the warning he received, he entered the town gloomily.\nChu Li entered the town. The streets had heavy traffic that flowed in a steady stream. The sounds of selling, bargaining, arguments, mediation, children frolicking and bustling mixed together with the lingering smells of eateries flooded towards Chu Li.\nChu Li traveled at a slow pace, sensing the hustle and bustle of the town.\nIts lively places were very much similar, he felt he was walking through Chong Ming Town.\nHe was pacing through the streets before coming across a restaurant — a hill to hill restaurant with towering three floors. It was an imposing building. Standing on the third floor gave the entire view of Green Mountain Town.\nHe ordered a few fishes at the restaurant and found a window seat. He enjoyed the meal while admiring the view. Listening to the chitter chatter around was also a form of entertainment.\nThe adjustment from these past few days had him walking out of those enraging yet helpless circumstances. He was completely free from negativity and resumed to his strong willed state.\nHe had to make more effort to reach enlightened mastery before Xiao Qi!\nRegal Sword Scripture was compelling but he wanted to break out from the scripture’s boundaries and obtain Xiao Qi’s heart again. She would not be able to escape from the palm of his hands!\n—— “Everyone, have you heard? God of Blade in white robe’s name is Du Feng!”\n“This isn’t something new.”\n“Alright then, then I’ll talk about something absolutely new. I’m sure everyone has never heard of!”\n“Quickly now. If it’s really new, I will be treating you this meal!”\n“Thanks in advance then!”\n“Stop dilly dallying or we won’t listen!”\n“Sure sure, you really have no patience,… Ouch! Okay okay, I’m talking!”\n“Old Meng, you’re asking for a beating!”\n“Sigh…, You guys, I’m talking! Do you know where Du Feng is from?”\n“Where?”\n“I don’t know where myself, ouch! … Everyone, just hear me out. No raising fists!”\n“Beat around the bush once more and I’ll whip you!”\n“Alright alright, Du Feng is connected to Snow Lunar Pavilion!”\n“Snow Lunar Pavilion…, But Snow Lunar Pavilion is about sword mastery, ain’t it?”\nSnow Lunar Pavilion was famously a first rated faction in the world of martial arts.\n“I heard that Du Feng’s fiancé is a disciple of the Snow Lunar Pavilion!”\n“Oh, that is possible!” One responded, “The female disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion are beauties.

第257章 楚离离开两天后，李寒燕被唤到沈映湖的水榭。 阳光明媚，湖水澄静。 徐徐清风从湖上吹到小亭，沈映湖一袭白衫坐在小亭里，慵懒的打量着李寒燕。 李寒燕微垂眼帘，沉静的站着，似乎与小亭的朱红柱子融为一体。 沈映湖道：“你杜大哥让我少让你出谷，怕你有危险。” 李寒燕紧抿嘴。 沈映湖笑了笑：“我也听说了杜风的事，杀人如麻，像个疯子，你不能学他！” 李寒燕轻蹙眉毛，忍着没反驳。 她觉得杜大哥杀得好，痛快淋漓。 那些人渣坏蛋就该杀，不杀他们，不知道会有多少无辜善良的人受害，杜大哥是替天行道！ 沈映湖道：“他武功高才敢那么干，现在有多少人想杀他？ 换是你，你活不过两天，所以别学他！” 李寒燕轻轻叹气。 “你想练什么心法？” “听师父吩咐。” “那就练着这个吧，杜风做事总有深意。” 沈映湖叹口气：“他过得怎么样？” 李寒燕一怔，不解的抬头。 沈映湖道：“心情如何？ 算了，心情好也不会杀那么多人，那些人也真够倒霉的，撞上刀刃！” 她明白，楚离大开杀戒是发泄怒火。 李寒燕道：“杜大哥到底怎么了？” “可怜的家伙。” 沈映湖抿嘴笑道：“情场失意呗。” 李寒燕瞪大秀眸，难以置信。 沈映湖看她这表情，咯咯笑起来。 李寒燕不好意思的低下头，还是难以置信。 难道是杜夏？ 如杜大哥这般人物，哪个女人拒绝得了？ 这杜夏也太有眼无珠了吧？ “不是你想的那样。” 沈映湖停住娇笑，笑得脸颊绯红，娇艳欲滴：“是他主动离开的杜夏。” “为什么？” 李寒燕问。 “杜夏练的武功要心无挂碍，离情绝欲，他为了让杜夏成为比他还厉害的高手，就主动分手了呗。” “竟是这样……“李寒燕讶然，感慨的道：“杜大哥心里肯定很苦！” “他就是个傻瓜！” 沈映湖叹息：“女人练得天下无敌，只能孤苦一生，你杜大哥这是害人害己！” 李寒燕道：“杜大哥的武功一定会胜过杜夏姐姐的！” 沈映湖抿嘴笑道：“你个小丫头见识有限，知道什么！” “当今天下，谁能打得过杜大哥？” 李寒燕不服气的道：“要真有，早就跳出来了！” 沈映湖摆摆手笑道：“好久没这么开心了……，就依你，练原来的吧，练刀还是练剑？” “杜大哥让我练剑。” 李寒燕道：“刀法闲暇时候练着玩。” “他是怕你杀气太重。” 沈映湖笑道：“你过两天跟杜秋去一趟白骨山，送一封信，散散心，整天闷在谷里也不成。” 青莽山现在正是最老实的时候，没缓过劲来，不敢生事，所以出谷很安全，楚离让李寒燕少出谷，不是不出谷。 沈映湖摆摆玉手：“去吧，平时跟着杜秋就成。” 李寒燕抱拳告退。 傍晚时分，楚离沐浴着晚霞，站在青山城外。 巍巍城门，高耸城墙，不仅不逊于崇明城，城池之大是崇明城的两倍，且更繁华更热闹。 他从雪月轩离开，施展开轻功疾行，几日功夫便到了青山城。 这一路未停，懒得再开杀戒。 看了一番，他举步往青山城门而去。 城门两个壮年守卫，气质彪悍，眼神凌利，上下打量几眼楚离，最终落在他腰间的刀上。 楚离一袭白袍一尘不染，全无一丝练武之人的异相。 太阳穴与头顶皆无变化，眼神也不明亮，精气神不那么完足，一看就知道不是练武的。 两个守卫在他刀上看了几眼，哼一声，摆摆手让他进去。 楚离前面的人则好好接受了一番盘查，他是个武者，精气神饱满。 两个守卫盘查过后，又是一番警告。 青山城有青山城的规矩，严禁动武，一旦动武，轻则废除武功扔出城外，重则直接毙命，由城守府与国公府同时执行，绝无幸理，想要小命便夹起尾巴，收起在外面那一套。 那武者被问得不耐烦，受一番警告，气哼哼的进了城。 大街上车水马龙，川流不息，叫卖声，讨价还价声，吵架声，劝架声，孩童的嬉闹声，喧闹的声音跟飘荡的小吃香气夹杂在一起，像潮水般扑向楚离。 楚离缓步而行，感受着城里的繁华热闹。 热闹的地方其实多有相似，他仿佛走在崇明城中。 沿着大街走了一会儿，找到一座酒楼——山外山楼，巍巍三层，气派异常，站在三楼可俯看整个青山城。 到楼上叫了几个菜，靠近窗户坐下，一边自斟自饮，一边欣赏风景，再听着周围人们的聊天，别有一番乐趣。 经过这些日子的调节，他走出了那种愤怒而无奈的困境，彻底抛开了负面思绪，恢复坚定。 自己得努力，要抢在萧琪前面达到天神境界！ 太上剑经厉害，但自己要打破太上剑经的束缚，重新夺回萧琪的心，她逃不出自己的魔掌！ “诸位，听说了嘛，白衣神刀姓杜，叫杜风！” “这个不算什么新消息吧？” “好，这个不算，那我说一个绝对新的，诸位一定没听说的！” “赶紧的，要是真没听过，这顿请你！” “好，那就多谢啦！” “再卖关子咱们就不听啦！” “好好，你们忒没耐心了，……哎哟！ 好好，我说我说！” “老孟你就欠揍！” “唉……，你们呀，我说！ 杜风是哪的人你们可知道？” “哪儿的？” “我也不知道是哪儿的，唉哟！ ……诸位，听我说下面的呀，不准动手！” “再卖关子就抽死你！” “好好，杜风跟雪月轩有关系！” “雪月轩……，雪月轩练的是剑吧？” 雪月轩是大季武林一流门派，鼎鼎大名。 “我听说，杜风的未婚妻就是雪月轩的弟子！” “哦，这个倒可能！” 有人回答：“雪月轩的女弟子个个是美人儿，哪个少侠公子们不蠢蠢欲动，可惜雪月轩门户森严，无机可趁！” “要我说，这些女人太凶，再美也沾不得！” “那你是不知道武林高手的妙处，再凶的女人，嫁进来，难道还能打相公？ ……家里有这么个武林高手在，也安心，对不对？” “算你说得有理！” “雪月轩女弟子确实很抢手，……杜风的妻子是雪月轩弟子，这可是一个大消息！” “知道又有什么用！” 有人不屑的撇撇嘴：“杜风不好对付，雪月轩更不好对付，谁敢乱来？” “这个杜风是从哪里冒出来的？” “谁知道呢，可能是哪个隐世门派的弟子吧？ 往常没少出这样的，一鸣惊人，不过他刀法太厉害，死在他手上的有上千人了吧？” “当真是杀人如麻！” “把一千人排队等着，一个一个砍下去，我也砍不动！” 楚离皱眉听着他们的消息，摇摇头。 真没什么有用的消息。 有人压低声音道：“二公子前天又抢了个姑娘！” (未完待续。
Chapter 261: Green Mountain Two days after Chu Li left, Lee Hanyan was called to Shen Yinghu’s waterside pavilion. The sun was shining brightly and the lake was clear and still. A gentle breeze blew from the lake towards the pavilion. Shen Yinghu was clothed in white and sitting in the pavilion, sluggishly looking at Lee Hanyan. Lee Hanyan lowered her eye lids and stood in silence. She seemed to have blend in with the red pillar of the pavilion. Shen Yinghu broke the silence, “Your big brother Du wants me to let you out of the valley less, he is concerned of your safety.” Lee Hanyan pursed her lips. Shen Yinghu smiled, “I heard things about Du Feng. Committing innumerable murders like a psycho. You must not learn from him.” Lee Hanyan knitted her brow and swallowed her objection. She felt that big brother Du killed for the good, impassioned and forceful. These scums and dirtbags should be killed. If they weren’t killed, it would be unknown how many innocents be sacrificed. Big brother Du was enforcing justice for heaven. Shen Yinghu rebutted, “He dared to do that because his cultivation level is high. How many are out to get him now? If it were you, you will not live more than two days so don’t learn from him!” “What kind of heart technique would you like to master?” Shen Yinghu said, “Your heart technique is cultivated well, similar to that of Snow Lunar Pavilion.” “I’ll follow your arrangement.” “Then continue to master this. Everything that Du Feng has its meaning,” Shen Yinghu sighed, “How is he now?” Lee Hanyan was momentarily stunned, she lifted her head in incomprehension. Shen Yinghu continued, “How was his mood? Fine, if his mood was fine he wouldn’t be killing that many. These people are really unlucky to meet his blade.” She understood that Chu Li was on a killing spree to vent his rage. Lee Hanyan asked, “What’s going on with big brother Du?” “Poor fellow.” Shen Yinghu pursed her lips to a smile, “Lost in love.” Lee Hanyan’s clear eyes widened in disbelief. Shen Yinghu saw her expression and started laughing. Lee Hanyan lowered her head in embarrassment but still in disbelief. Could it be Du Xia? How could any women reject a character such as big brother Du? This Du Xia must be blind. “It’s not as you imagine.” Shen Yinghu stopped laughing, her cheeks were rosy from laughing, looking dashing and delicate, “It was he who left Du Xia.” “Why?” Lee Hanyan asked. “Du Xia’s martial arts required her to have no worries and attachments. In order to let her become a better master than he is, he broke up.” Shen Yinghu sluggishly smiled, “Silly, isn’t he?” “So I see…” Lee Hanyan was surprised. She lamented, “Big brother Du must be having a hard time.” “He is a fool!” Shen Yinghu sighed, “For women to cultivate to become undefeatable, they will be forever alone. Your big brother Du is doing no good for him or her.” Lee Hanyan exclaimed, “Big brother Du is more powerful than sister Du Xia!” Shen Yinghu pursed her lip in laughter, “You have limited experience, what do you know?” “Who could beat big brother Du?” Lee Hanyan couldn’t give up, “If indeed there is, that person would have appeared already!” “He is now only a grandmaster, Du Xi is on her way to enlightened master.” Shen Yinghu flung her arm and laughed, “It’s been a while since I’m this happy…, Alright, let’s go with you. Continue from before, are you mastering knife or sword?” “Big brother Du had me practice with a sword.” Lee Hanyan explained, “The knife technique is only for during leisure.” “He’s afraid your murderous intent would be too strong.” Shen Yinghu smiled, “Two days later, you’ll follow Du Qiu to White Skeletal Mountain to deliver a letter. Take a break. Don’t keep hiding in the valley.” Green Hill was behaving at the moment and has not recovered from before and dared not create havoc so leaving the valley would be deemed safe. Chu Li wanted Lee Hanyan to leave the valley less and not entirely. “Yes,” Lee Hanyan replied. Shen Yinghu waved her porcelain arm, “You’re dismissed. Just follow Du Qiu as usual.” “Yes,” Lee Hanyan fist saluted and was excused. —— It was evening when Chu Li bathed in kindled evening, standing outside of Green Mountain Town. The towering city gates and sky scraping city walls was not inferior to Chong Ming Town. Its community was doubled of Chong Ming Town, ever more thriving and bustling. He took off from Snow Lunar Pavilion, levitated in a hurry and reached Green Mountain Town in a few days’ time. He did not stop during the entire way and was too lazy to start a killing spree. After taking a look around, he advanced his steps to the gates of Green Mountain Town. The entrance was guarded by two tough men at their prime. They were valiant with sharp sight. They sized up Chu Li before spotting his knife on his waist. Chu Li was dressed in a spotless white robe with no hint of cultivation. There were no changes to his temple and the top of his head. His eyes were unclear. His spirit was not plentiful. One look and one could tell he knew no martial arts. The two guards took a few glances at his knife and snorted. They then waved him in. The person in front of Chu Li had to undergo a series of interrogations. He was a martial artist. His spirit was plentiful. After a series of interrogations, the two guards even gave a fair warning. Green Mountain Town has its own regulation, that forbade the start of a fight. Once a fight was started, the lighter sentence was the abolishment of cultivation and banishment from town, the heavier would be a death sentence, executed by the Town Defense Prefecture and the House of High Duke. There would be no exceptions. Pride had to be swallowed if one cherished life. That martial artist was questioned to the point of impatience plus the warning he received, he entered the town gloomily. Chu Li entered the town. The streets had heavy traffic that flowed in a steady stream. The sounds of selling, bargaining, arguments, mediation, children frolicking and bustling mixed together with the lingering smells of eateries flooded towards Chu Li. Chu Li traveled at a slow pace, sensing the hustle and bustle of the town. Its lively places were very much similar, he felt he was walking through Chong Ming Town. He was pacing through the streets before coming across a restaurant — a hill to hill restaurant with towering three floors. It was an imposing building. Standing on the third floor gave the entire view of Green Mountain Town. He ordered a few fishes at the restaurant and found a window seat. He enjoyed the meal while admiring the view. Listening to the chitter chatter around was also a form of entertainment. The adjustment from these past few days had him walking out of those enraging yet helpless circumstances. He was completely free from negativity and resumed to his strong willed state. He had to make more effort to reach enlightened mastery before Xiao Qi! Regal Sword Scripture was compelling but he wanted to break out from the scripture’s boundaries and obtain Xiao Qi’s heart again. She would not be able to escape from the palm of his hands! —— “Everyone, have you heard? God of Blade in white robe’s name is Du Feng!” “This isn’t something new.” “Alright then, then I’ll talk about something absolutely new. I’m sure everyone has never heard of!” “Quickly now. If it’s really new, I will be treating you this meal!” “Thanks in advance then!” “Stop dilly dallying or we won’t listen!” “Sure sure, you really have no patience,… Ouch! Okay okay, I’m talking!” “Old Meng, you’re asking for a beating!” “Sigh…, You guys, I’m talking! Do you know where Du Feng is from?” “Where?” “I don’t know where myself, ouch! … Everyone, just hear me out. No raising fists!” “Beat around the bush once more and I’ll whip you!” “Alright alright, Du Feng is connected to Snow Lunar Pavilion!” “Snow Lunar Pavilion…, But Snow Lunar Pavilion is about sword mastery, ain’t it?” Snow Lunar Pavilion was famously a first rated faction in the world of martial arts. “I heard that Du Feng’s fiancé is a disciple of the Snow Lunar Pavilion!” “Oh, that is possible!” One responded, “The female disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion are beauties. Which young master wouldn’t be moved. It’s a shame that Snow Lunar Pavilion is heavily guarded with no possible opportunity.” “If I may, these women are too vicious. There’s no point even if they’re beautiful!” “That’s because you don’t know the beauty of being masters in the martial arts world. No matter how vicious the woman, once they’re married, how could they possibly beat up their spouse? … If there’s a master of martial arts world at home, wouldn’t you feel safe, am I right?” “I guess so!” “The female disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion are highly sought after, … The wife of Du Feng is from Snow Lunar Pavilion, this is big news!” “What’s the point of knowing?” One of them curled their lips in disdain, “Du Feng is not to be messed with, even more so for Snow Lunar Pavilion.

But I must say his knife technique is impressive, it must be more than a thousand that died at his hands.” “Really committing innumerable murders!” “If you put a thousand on queue and slayed one by one, I wouldn’t be able to do it!” Chu Li frowned as he listened to their gossip and shook his head. It wasn’t any practical news. “Have you heard?” One of them lowered their voice, “Second young master snatched another young lady two days ago!”

Like dew, it moistened every single part of his body.\nHis damaged internal organs, as well as his fractured bones were healing at a terrifying pace.\nOne has to understand—even with Ling Han’s talent, he had still spent ten thousand years’ time to comprehend the first level of cultivation techniques of the Indestructible Heaven Scroll. How could this single drop of Indestructible True Fluid that he had managed to congeal not be awesome?\nIt could practically revive a dead person, and allow new flesh to be grown on bones; it definitely could be claimed as the ultimate treasured medicine.\n“Yi?” Someone finally discovered that Ling Han had managed to sit upright, and a shocked expression flashed over his face.\nThey were all very clear that none of them had made a killing move in the barrage of blows just now, but so many of them had all struck at the same time. Even if none of them made an attempt to kill, it should have been more than enough to cause serious injury to Ling Han—there was nothing to be done about it. Who asked this brat not to know what’s good for him? In a way, this also allowed him to learn a valuable lesson.\nYet the brat actually managed to so quickly get up. This was a big enough shock that their eyes were about to pop out from the astonishment!\nHow could this be?\nCould it be that this brat was wearing some kind of treasured armor that could disperse part of the power behind any attacks that hit him? That should be the case. How could there be any other possibility?\n“Brat, hand over the treasured saber. That is not something that you should wield!” A middle-aged man shouted.\nLing Han’s eyes suddenly snapped open. The Indestructible True Fluid had completely exercised its effects, allowing him to mostly heal his injuries. He did not answer the speaker, but rather inserted his divine sense into the treasured saber in his hands to activate the Spiritual Tool concealed within the saber.\n…He was no idiot. He could heal his injuries once with the help of the Indestructible True Fluid, but there was no way he could heal them a second time. Since he dared to grab food from the tiger’s mouth, he would have to resuscitate this treasured saber. That way, what could a few Gushing Spring Tier martial artists do against him?\nHe was Jiang Yue Feng’s master, and the former’s martial arts were all taught by him. They were both of the same line of martial arts, so there was a high possibility that he could use the treasured tool left behind by Jiang Yue Feng.\nThis was a risk, but he could not consider too much about it anymore.\n“How dare you ignore me, little junior?” The middle-aged man who had spoken previously instantly grew furious. All of the people here were the heirs of the Imperial Family or the Eight Great Clans, so all of them had extremely high pride. How could they tolerate a junior putting on airs in front of them?\nHe immediately acted. His Origin Power was given form, becoming a colossal palm which headed towards Ling Han in a grabbing motion.\n“Li Yuan, you wish!” Immediately, someone else made a move to stop him. He was of course not trying to help Ling Han, but it was rather that he feared this Li Yuan would take advantage of this opportunity to grab the treasured saber.\n“Bastard!” Li Yuan indeed had that kind of idea, and was enraged by this man’s move to stop him. He could not help but immediately come to blows with the person who had attempted to stop him.\n“Brat, hand over the treasured saber!” Another person rushed over with the intention to grab the saber.\n“It’s mine!”\n“Mine!”\nThe battle royale had once again begun. All of them were fighting with each other, trying to get close to Ling Han. Capturing this brat would mean they would be able to obtain the treasured saber. As for Ling Han’s own power, they had all automatically ignored any threat he could pose to them. He was after all only a brat in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier.\n“You all, have you had enough!” Ling Han suddenly stood. His eyes cast over the group, holding a gaze that trembled with power.\nAll of them experienced a shock. It was as if the young man standing in front of them was not a little martial artist of Element Gathering Tier, but an ultimate warrior even stronger than the Elders of their respective Clans. They all felt indescribably weak and minuscule in front of Ling Han.\nBut they immediately came back to themselves. Just a little brat, and he actually gave them such a feeling?\nThis was really much too shameful!\n“Hand over the treasured saber quickly!” Li Yuan once again moved, making a grabbing motion towards Ling Han.\n“Get lost!” Ling Han waved the saber in a slash. “Shua,” a bright flash washed out from the saber, as bright as a shooting star.\n“Pu!”\nLi Yuan suddenly stumbled backwards, one hand pressing down on his chest. Fresh blood gushed forth from between his fingers, and his face had instantly turned pale.\nWhat!\nAll of the others were flabbergasted with shock. One has to know that Li Yuan was in the ninth layer of Gushing Spring Tier, yet he was actually injured with one wave of Ling Han’s saber. How could they accept this reality?\nThe treasured saber, it must be the might of the treasured saber!\nIt was nothing new for them to have obtained damaged Spiritual Tools, after all it was as if all of them were dead. The value of them lay only in the martial intent engraved in the seals upon the body of these Spiritual Tools. But Ling Han had barely just obtained this treasured saber, yet he could actually activate the might of the treasured saber. How inconceivable was that?\nLing Han stood, wielding the saber in his hands, and asked, “Just now, you all really had fun ganging up on me, huh?”\n“Hiss,” all of them could not help but take a step back. Who would have thought that a little junior in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier would suddenly possess the ability to pose a threat to high level martial artists of Gushing Spring Tier?\nThere was no way that Ling Han would stay nice. He pounced, and the treasured saber in his hand continuously spat out flashes of light. The might of the treasured saber was not something that mere Gushing Spring Tier martial artists could stand steadfast against. As the light from the treasured saber washed over them, without an exception, all of them were flung backwards from the power behind the blows.\n“I don’t believe it! All Spiritual Tools that can be successfully captured had their spirits deteriorated. Not even powerful warriors of Spiritual Ocean Tier would be able to activate their abilities, yet how could it be that a little brat of Element Gathering Tier actually managed to activate the might of the Spiritual Tool!”\n“Aaaaaahhh!” They all shouted and screamed. Just now, Ling Han had suffered severe injuries from their hands, and now the tables were turned, so how could it be that he would be merciful towards them? As the light from the saber danced, all these people were easily thrashed.\nAs for Liu Bu Cheng, his face continued to twitch uncontrollably. Thank goodness he had acted to stop Liu Yu Tong, and so did not take part in the ganging up on Ling Han. Otherwise, he would not have been missed out in this thrashing.\nTo be thrashed in this manner by a little junior, how humiliating!\nBut was this brat a monster? Why was it that he could activate an ancient Spiritual Tool?\nAfter Ling Han had heavily thrashed Li Yuan and the others, he stared at Liu Bu Cheng for a moment. This stare from Ling Han caused coldness to rise within the latter’s heart, and Ling Han finally lowered the saber’s hilt, sighing secretly. This saber was much too heavily damaged, and the spirit within was already long dead. The only thing left behind was a tiny scrap of consciousness.

凌寒心念一动，这滴不灭真液顿时化开，如同一片甘露，滋润着他全身每一处地方。 破损的骨脏、断裂的骨头，都以一种可怕的速度愈合着。 要知道，以凌寒的天资领悟不灭天经第一重功法都是花了万年光阴，这凝出的一滴不灭真液能不牛逼吗？ 简直活死人肉白骨，甚称绝世宝药。 “咦？” 有人发现凌寒坐直了起来，不由露出了惊讶之色。 他们都是清楚，刚才那一击自己绝对没有下杀手，可这么多人一起出手，也足够将凌寒打成重伤——没办法，谁让这小子不识好歹，也算是买个教训。 可这小子居然这么快就爬了起来，简直让人惊掉眼球啊！ 这怎么可能？ 难道这小子身上穿了什么宝甲，可以化去吃到的攻击？ 应该如此了，否则还有第二种可能吗？ “小子，交出宝刀，这不是你可以持有的！” 一名中年人喝道。 凌寒蓦然睁开了眼睛，不灭真液已经完全发挥了作用，他的伤势已经愈合得七七八八。 他并没有回答，只是将神识注入进手中的宝刀，以引动刀中的器灵。 ——他又不傻，靠不灭真液可以愈合一次，但绝不可能再愈合第二次，他敢虎口夺食，就是要复苏这把宝刀，那么区区几个涌泉境又岂在话下？ 他是江跃枫的师父，对方的武道都是他教的，两者一脉相承，因此江跃枫留下的宝器他也有很大的可能使用。 这是在冒险，但他也顾不得了。 “大胆小辈，居然敢不答我？” 之前说话的中年人大怒，这里的人不是出身皇室就是八大豪门的传人，一个个都是鼻孔朝天的主，哪能容忍一个小辈在自己面前摆谱？ 他出手，元力化形，凝成一只巨大的手掌，向着凌寒抓了过去。 “李元，你想得太美了！” 立刻就有人出手阻拦，他倒不是帮凌寒，而是怕对方假借这个名义出手抢夺宝刀。 “浑蛋！” 李元确实是这么想的，被对方阻挠自然大怒，忍不住大打出手。 “小子，交出宝刀！” 又有人过来抢夺。 “是我的！” “我的！” 群战再起，众人都是争相对着凌寒抓去。 抓到了这小子，就等于拥有了宝刀，至于凌寒本身的实力则被他们完全忽略了，区区一个聚元五层小子罢了。 “你们，够了没有！” 凌寒猛然站了起来，双眼环扫，凛凛生威。 众人都是一骇，仿佛站在他们面前的并非是一个聚元境的小武者，而是比自家老祖还要强大无数倍的至强者，自己在对方面前简直渺小得无法形容。 但他们立刻回过了魂来，区区一个毛头小子罢了，居然会让他们生起这样的感觉？ 太丢人了！ “还不将宝刀交出来！” 李元出手，向着凌寒抓去。 “滚！” 凌寒挥刀而斩，刷，一道璀璨的刀芒划过，如流星般惊艳。 噗！ 李元顿时踉跄而退，单手捂胸，手指缝里则有鲜血涌出，脸色在瞬间变得惨白。 什么！ 其他人都是骇然，要知道李元可是涌泉九层的存在，可居然被凌寒一刀斩伤，这让他们如何接受？ 宝刀，一定是宝刀发威了！ 可是他们之前不是没有得到破损的灵器，可哪一件都和死了一般，其价值就在上面烙印的武道意志，可凌寒刚刚得手这件宝刀就能让它发威，这是何等的不可思议。 凌寒执刀而立，道：“刚才你们打我打得很爽吧？” 嘶，众人情不自禁地退后一步，谁能想到一个聚元五层的小辈会突然拥有了威胁到高阶涌泉境的实力？ 凌寒哪会客气，身形扑出，手中宝刀不断地喷吐着刀芒，这威力根本不是涌泉境所能抵挡，刀芒划过，所有人莫不被轻松劈飞。 “怎么可能，这小子居然可以复苏灵器！” “我不相信！ 能够被捞起的灵器都是器灵泯灭，连灵海境强者都无法激活起威能，区区一个聚元境的小子，为什么可以发挥出灵器之威！” 众人都是惊呼，有一百二十个不信。 可不信又如何，现在他们只有被凌寒吊打的份。 啊啊啊，他们都是惨叫，刚才凌寒被他们重创，现在三十年风水轮流转，他又岂会手下留情，刀芒纵横，将这些人虐得跟孙子似的。 刘步成看得脸皮直抽，幸好他刚才出手阻下了刘雨桐，没有参与群殴，不然这时候肯定也难以幸免。 被一个小辈蹂躏，太丢人了！ 不过这小子是妖怪吗，为什么可以运转上古灵器？ 凌寒揍得李元他们不要不要之后，盯着刘步成看了一阵，看得对方心中生寒时，这才垂下了刀柄，心中暗暗一叹，这把刀受创太重，器灵早已经死亡，只剩下一丝残识，他只是靠着与江跃枫一脉相承的武道意志才激活了这些残识，但用不了几次就会完全消散。 到时候，这把刀除了锋利一点，与普通的兵器也没什么两样了。 “凌寒，你、你没事吧？” 刘雨桐和李思蝉同时迎了上去。 这小子怎么可能有事，没见把其他人都快要虐出翔来了，刘步成在心中吐槽道。 凌寒心事重重，只是冲着两女点了点头，便拿着刀回了自己的帐篷。 虽然他出手伤了那么多人，可为争夺宝物而发生斗殴受伤乃是再正常不过，况且有吴松林的面子摆在那呢，谁敢说什么？ 再者，一大群涌泉境还打不过一个聚元五层，好意思说报复什么的吗？ 凌寒坐在帐篷中，将宝刀放在腿上，仔细观察着。 若是器灵没有死亡，以他的实力根本没可能掌握这把刀，只需要散出来一丁点的气势就能将他崩死，现在则给了他仔细研究的机会。 江跃枫跨进了天人境。 凌寒首先肯定了这点，因为这刀身上烙印下的武道意志达到了与他前世并肩的程度，那么毫无悬问，这是江跃枫突破天人境后打造的灵器。 可天人境的兵器却在剧战之中破损，甚至器灵都死了。 江跃枫究竟遭遇了怎样的敌人？
Ling Han sent a mental command, and this drop of Indestructible True Fluid instantly dispersed. Like dew, it moistened every single part of his body. His damaged internal organs, as well as his fractured bones were healing at a terrifying pace. One has to understand—even with Ling Han’s talent, he had still spent ten thousand years’ time to comprehend the first level of cultivation techniques of the Indestructible Heaven Scroll. How could this single drop of Indestructible True Fluid that he had managed to congeal not be awesome? It could practically revive a dead person, and allow new flesh to be grown on bones; it definitely could be claimed as the ultimate treasured medicine. “Yi?” Someone finally discovered that Ling Han had managed to sit upright, and a shocked expression flashed over his face. They were all very clear that none of them had made a killing move in the barrage of blows just now, but so many of them had all struck at the same time. Even if none of them made an attempt to kill, it should have been more than enough to cause serious injury to Ling Han—there was nothing to be done about it. Who asked this brat not to know what’s good for him? In a way, this also allowed him to learn a valuable lesson. Yet the brat actually managed to so quickly get up. This was a big enough shock that their eyes were about to pop out from the astonishment! How could this be? Could it be that this brat was wearing some kind of treasured armor that could disperse part of the power behind any attacks that hit him? That should be the case. How could there be any other possibility? “Brat, hand over the treasured saber. That is not something that you should wield!” A middle-aged man shouted. Ling Han’s eyes suddenly snapped open. The Indestructible True Fluid had completely exercised its effects, allowing him to mostly heal his injuries. He did not answer the speaker, but rather inserted his divine sense into the treasured saber in his hands to activate the Spiritual Tool concealed within the saber. …He was no idiot. He could heal his injuries once with the help of the Indestructible True Fluid, but there was no way he could heal them a second time. Since he dared to grab food from the tiger’s mouth, he would have to resuscitate this treasured saber. That way, what could a few Gushing Spring Tier martial artists do against him? He was Jiang Yue Feng’s master, and the former’s martial arts were all taught by him. They were both of the same line of martial arts, so there was a high possibility that he could use the treasured tool left behind by Jiang Yue Feng. This was a risk, but he could not consider too much about it anymore. “How dare you ignore me, little junior?” The middle-aged man who had spoken previously instantly grew furious. All of the people here were the heirs of the Imperial Family or the Eight Great Clans, so all of them had extremely high pride. How could they tolerate a junior putting on airs in front of them? He immediately acted. His Origin Power was given form, becoming a colossal palm which headed towards Ling Han in a grabbing motion. “Li Yuan, you wish!” Immediately, someone else made a move to stop him. He was of course not trying to help Ling Han, but it was rather that he feared this Li Yuan would take advantage of this opportunity to grab the treasured saber. “Bastard!” Li Yuan indeed had that kind of idea, and was enraged by this man’s move to stop him. He could not help but immediately come to blows with the person who had attempted to stop him. “Brat, hand over the treasured saber!” Another person rushed over with the intention to grab the saber. “It’s mine!” “Mine!” The battle royale had once again begun. All of them were fighting with each other, trying to get close to Ling Han. Capturing this brat would mean they would be able to obtain the treasured saber. As for Ling Han’s own power, they had all automatically ignored any threat he could pose to them. He was after all only a brat in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier. “You all, have you had enough!” Ling Han suddenly stood. His eyes cast over the group, holding a gaze that trembled with power. All of them experienced a shock. It was as if the young man standing in front of them was not a little martial artist of Element Gathering Tier, but an ultimate warrior even stronger than the Elders of their respective Clans. They all felt indescribably weak and minuscule in front of Ling Han. But they immediately came back to themselves. Just a little brat, and he actually gave them such a feeling? This was really much too shameful! “Hand over the treasured saber quickly!” Li Yuan once again moved, making a grabbing motion towards Ling Han. “Get lost!” Ling Han waved the saber in a slash. “Shua,” a bright flash washed out from the saber, as bright as a shooting star. “Pu!” Li Yuan suddenly stumbled backwards, one hand pressing down on his chest. Fresh blood gushed forth from between his fingers, and his face had instantly turned pale. What! All of the others were flabbergasted with shock. One has to know that Li Yuan was in the ninth layer of Gushing Spring Tier, yet he was actually injured with one wave of Ling Han’s saber. How could they accept this reality? The treasured saber, it must be the might of the treasured saber! It was nothing new for them to have obtained damaged Spiritual Tools, after all it was as if all of them were dead. The value of them lay only in the martial intent engraved in the seals upon the body of these Spiritual Tools. But Ling Han had barely just obtained this treasured saber, yet he could actually activate the might of the treasured saber. How inconceivable was that? Ling Han stood, wielding the saber in his hands, and asked, “Just now, you all really had fun ganging up on me, huh?” “Hiss,” all of them could not help but take a step back. Who would have thought that a little junior in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier would suddenly possess the ability to pose a threat to high level martial artists of Gushing Spring Tier? There was no way that Ling Han would stay nice. He pounced, and the treasured saber in his hand continuously spat out flashes of light. The might of the treasured saber was not something that mere Gushing Spring Tier martial artists could stand steadfast against. As the light from the treasured saber washed over them, without an exception, all of them were flung backwards from the power behind the blows. “I don’t believe it! All Spiritual Tools that can be successfully captured had their spirits deteriorated. Not even powerful warriors of Spiritual Ocean Tier would be able to activate their abilities, yet how could it be that a little brat of Element Gathering Tier actually managed to activate the might of the Spiritual Tool!” “Aaaaaahhh!” They all shouted and screamed. Just now, Ling Han had suffered severe injuries from their hands, and now the tables were turned, so how could it be that he would be merciful towards them? As the light from the saber danced, all these people were easily thrashed. As for Liu Bu Cheng, his face continued to twitch uncontrollably. Thank goodness he had acted to stop Liu Yu Tong, and so did not take part in the ganging up on Ling Han. Otherwise, he would not have been missed out in this thrashing. To be thrashed in this manner by a little junior, how humiliating! But was this brat a monster? Why was it that he could activate an ancient Spiritual Tool? After Ling Han had heavily thrashed Li Yuan and the others, he stared at Liu Bu Cheng for a moment. This stare from Ling Han caused coldness to rise within the latter’s heart, and Ling Han finally lowered the saber’s hilt, sighing secretly. This saber was much too heavily damaged, and the spirit within was already long dead. The only thing left behind was a tiny scrap of consciousness. Because his martial intent was in the same vein as Jiang Yue Feng’s, he managed to activate this scrap of consciousness, but he would not be able to use it many more times before even this tiny scrap of consciousness would completely deteriorate. By that time, aside from being a bit sharper, there would be no difference between this saber and other normal weapons. “Ling Han, you, are you all right?” Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan both stepped forward at the same time. ‘How could this brat not be all right? Can’t you two see that the others are all heavily thrashed?’ Liu Bu Cheng mocked in his thoughts. Ling Han was filled with troubled thoughts, so he only nodded towards these two girls before taking the saber and returning to his own tent. Though he had injured a lot of people, it was absolutely normal for injuries and fights to result from fighting over treasures. Moreover, with Wu Song Lin’s support and having to give face to Wu Song Lin, who would dare say anything? Moreover, a large group of Gushing Spring Tier martial artists actually lost against a young man in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier, how could they actually lower their pride to say that they would attempt revenge or something of the sort? Ling Han sat within his tent, and placed the saber on his lap, studying it closely. If the spirit within had not died, based on his current power, there was no way he could manage to control this saber. The saber would only need to emanate a little bit of aura, and he would be killed off. But now, this actually gave him the chance to study it closely. Ling Han first confirmed this fact, because the martial intent engraved in the seals on the saber had reached the level that was equal to his own level in his last life. Thus, it was without question that this was a Spiritual Tool that Jiang Yue Feng had forged after he had broken through to Heaven Tier. But a weapon of an ultimate warrior of Heaven Tier was actually heavily damaged in battle, and even the spirit within this Spiritual Tool was dead. What kind of enemy did Jiang Yue Feng actually encounter?

Large amounts of restrictions collapsed.\nAnxiety appeared in the eyes of the female corpse, then she quickly retreated. Blue light shot out from Wang Lin’s right eye once more and turned into a shield, blocking her path. There was a strong shockwave from the shield that caused her to retreat once more.\nAs Wang Lin pointed with his right finger, all the restrictions gathered around the female corpse.\nThe female corpse retreated, causing the chains on her body to shake. Then a black mist surrounded her. She opened her mouth to spit out a pair of red scissors that flew into the air and mercilessly cut at the restrictions! There was a thud as the scissor cut all the restrictions above her. The female corpse then charged upward while surrounded by the black mist.\nSeeing that she was about to break through the palace, Wang Lin’s expression turned cold. With a thought, the ancient god furnace appeared around him.\n“Change position!” As Wang Lin’s calm voice echoed, the female corpse glowed. Just as she was about to touch the ceiling of the palace, her body trembled and suddenly changed positions with Wang Lin, who was at the center of the compass!\nIn an instant, Wang Lin appeared where the female corpse was, and the female corpse was standing at the center of the compass. The compass rotated rapidly and countless restrictions wrapped around the female corpse. The surrounding restrictions also closed in.\nThe female didn’t notice fast enough, and her cultivation level had dropped a lot due to her injuries, so she allowed the restrictions to wrap around her. Large amounts of restrictions quickly locked her down, especially her feet, which seemed to be stuck to the compass; she wasn’t able to move them at all.\nWhile struggling, the female corpse began to scream. Her shrill slowly spread.\nWang Lin landed and looked at the struggling female corpse. His eyes were cold as he mercilessly reached out. The chain going through her shoulder blade was pulled out.\nWeakened, the female corpse screamed immediately, her body trembling. Her intelligent eyes stared at Wang Lin with deep hatred.\nAfter the chain was pulled out, it turned into a black snake and fiercely bit Wang Lin’s right arm with its fangs. Wang Lin didn’t even dodge and let the black snake bite down. The moment the snake bit Wang Lin’s arm, the fangs collapsed, and Wang Lin’s arm wasn’t injured at all!\nHow could this mere black snake break through the body of a 5-star royal ancient god?\nWang Lin squeezed with his right hand and the black snake trembled before shattering into pieces of chain. He didn’t stop and once more reached at the void. The female corpse let out a scream as the chain in her pelvis was pulled out by Wang Lin.\nWith a squeeze of his hand, he crushed the chain!\nThe female corpse fell and she was noq half-sitting on the ground. Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of origin energy that entered the compass. He then sat down on the side and his hands began forming seals. The compass slowly rotated and restrictions entered her body.\n“Celestial Emperor Qing Lin had a spell called ‘Corpse Guard.’ It required the body of the enemies he killed and various other materials to form a vicious corpse that feels no pain and can be used to protect the owner. Although I can’t find those extinct materials to refine a corpse puppet, I can use the method to control the corpse guard.”\nWang Lin closed his eyes, and his hands continued to form restrictions that entered the female corpse’s body.\nTime slowly passed. As the sun rose and set, more than half a month had passed. Wang Lin had spent almost four months on planet Water Spirit. During this time, aside from the time he spent comprehending on the peak, he was refining the female corpse.\nThe process of refining the female corpse was very complex and required all his concentration. As a result, Wang Lin never went outside and would place a restriction every once in a while.\nAt this moment, the 100 foot compass was still rotating inside his palace with the woman sitting on top. Her whole body glowed silver and there was a mark flashing between her eyebrows.\nHer expression was peaceful and the resentment from before had disappeared. If someone else saw her, they would find it difficult to imagine her true identity. No matter how you looked at it, she was a beautiful female cultivator.\nWhile Wang Lin was on planet Water Spirit, a not so big or small thing happened on planet Tian Yun. A powerful cultivator named Situ Nan had arrived on planet Tian Yun and became the Palace Lord of the Pink Palace. However, his reputation wasn’t exactly a good one.\nIn three months of time, almost every female disciple of the small and medium sects were harassed by him. He never used force, though. He just used his Nirvana Cleanser cultivation as a pretense to teach them spells and hinted that he could gift them pills to increase their cultivation level. As a result, he gathered a lot of female cultivators and strengthened the pink palace greatly.\nHe spent his days in endless joy, and if he went out, he would have 1,000 female cultivators around him. This made his perverted ways famous.\nHowever, this person was trustworthy because all the female disciples that entered the Pink Palace were taught spells and received pills. If any sect complained, Situ Nan would righteously rush to them to have a talk with them. Often, the sect would give him face. After all, Situ Nan was a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator.\nAs a result, more and more female cultivators joined the Pink Palace, and it could be said that Situ Nan’s name had made its way across Tian Yun.\nHe had heard from some unknown sources that the three Chen brothers had two female disciples that were stunning. One of them had a water spirit root and the other was ice cold. This made Situ Nan’s heart itch, and after pondering for half a day, he led a large amount of female cultivators toward planet Water Spirit with someone leading the way.\nThis large group was almost exclusively females wearing pink dress. Amidst them was a bed dozens of feet wide. Situ Nan lied on top of the best surrounded by many female cultivators, looking very happy. There were almost 100 female cultivators around the bed as they moved toward planet Water Spirit.\nThere was a middle-aged man in blue before Situ Nan. He was handsome and had an evil gaze, and he flattered, “Senior Situ, Junior ensures that these two female cultivators are top qualify. Zhao Xue is an amazing beauty, and the one called Ling Er has a water spirit root, making her an excellent cultivation furnace!”\nSitu Nan enjoyed having female cultivators serving him. He laughed and nodded. “OK, if what you say is true, I won’t be stingy with your reward…. Pill, celestial spell, you choose!”\nThe middle-aged man’s eyes filled with joy. He quickly said his thanks along with many other compliments that made Situ Nan laugh.\nThis middle-aged man sneered and thought, “Zhao Xue, no matter how lofty you are, I want to see whether you obey or not with Senior Situ here! Also, Ling Er won’t be able to escape either!”\nSitu Nan looked at the middle-aged man. Although he looked happy, he knew exactly what the middle-aged man was thinking. With Situ Nan’s cunning, he was immediately able to tell that there was a grudge between this middle-aged man and the two women from planet Water Spirit.\nHowever, Situ Nan didn’t care about any of this.\n“A water spirit root is pretty good. That brother of mine is a piece of wood and probably still hasn’t had any woman in all these years. If these two girls are good, then I’ll take them as a greeting gift, even if I have to steal them. Water spirit root… not bad, not bad.”\nSitu Nan let out a mischievous smile. Then he let out a sigh. During the few months he was on planet Tian Yun, he wanted to look for Wang Lin, but found no clues. He thought about going to the Heavenly Fate Sect, but there was a powerful aura sealing the whole place. It would be difficult for Situ Nan to enter with his current strength.\nThis phenomenon surprised all the cultivators on planet Tian Yun, but they couldn’t think of a reason.\nNo one knew that the All-Seer had given the command to do so before he went into close door cultivation. Seal the Heavenly Fate Sect and open the sect protection formation!\nFortunately, there were too many disciples in the Heavenly Fate Sect, and some were outside. That included a few female cultivators that were taken to the Pink Palace by Situ Nan to “play”. After asking them, he found out about the rumors of what Wang Lin did back in the Demon Spirit Land.\nThese rumors were not a secret, and Situ Nan had heard them from others on planet Tian Yun. After confirming this, he was surprised, but soon he laughed and thought,\n“That’s my brother. If he is going to do something, he is going to do something heaven-shattering!”\nAs he asked more, he learned that Wang Lin had returned to planet Tian Yun several months ago.\nSitu Nan pondered for a bit and came to the conclusion that if Wang Lin dared to return, then Wang Lin must not have been worried about anything, so his safety wasn’t an issue. However, he found it strange that Wang Lin was so fearless.\n“Could that kid’s cultivation level have increased rapidly?”\nSitu Nan had thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a reason. However, from what information he could gather, Wang Lin’s purpose for returning should be the Demon Spirit Land!\nTherefore, Wang Lin wouldn’t go far and would appear within a short period of time.\nAs a result, Situ Nan wasn’t anxious and decided to have some fun. This was able to help him disperse some of the stress he had from planet Feng Luan.\nOn this day, with the middle-aged man leading the way, Situ Nan, who was surrounded by hundreds of female cultivators, saw planet Water Spirit in the distance!\n“Hehe, this old man sure is generous to come all the way here to find Little Lin a concubine. I wonder what expression he will make when finds out!”\nLooking at planet Water Spirit, Situ Nan laughed.\nThis sudden laugh from Situ Nan had the middle-aged man and all the surrounding cultivators mistaking it for an erotic laugh." } ]
第990章 第990章 那女尸口中传出一声尖啸，其声刺耳，更是具备了强大的冲击力，顿时便有大量禁制轰然崩溃。 这女尸眼中露出焦急，立刻就后退，王林右目青光再闪，这一次却是那青光盾幻化而出，瞬间就阻拦在了女尸身后，青光一闪下，便有一股大力反震，使得那女尸连连后退。 随着王林右手一指，立刻四周的禁制快速凝聚，弥漫女尸全身。 女尸尖啸中琵琶骨上的铁链立刻晃动，顿时便有大片的黑雾气瞬间弥漫，包裹全身之下，这女尸张口便有一把红色的剪刀飞出，向着上方狠狠地一剪！ 眼看就要冲破这宫殿逃遁，王林神色冷漠，心神一动下，身体外顿时便有古神大鼎幻化而出。 随着王林平淡的声音回荡，顿时那女尸全身闪烁光芒，在其就要碰到宫殿顶部的刹那，其身子立刻一颤，身影蓦然间消失，与盘膝坐在罗盘中心的王林，颠倒换位！ 刹那，王林出现在了半空之前女尸所在之处，而那女尸，则是站在了罗盘中心，就在这一瞬间，罗盘疯狂的旋转起来，无数禁制涌现，齐齐凝聚女尸，四周的禁制更是来临，包裹四周。 那女尸一时不查，再加上本就重伤修为跌落，此刻身子一颤之下，立刻就被大量的禁制弥漫，尤其是其双脚，仿若被这罗盘吸住了一样，在无数禁制的封印下，却是无法移动半点。 挣扎中，这女尸不断地尖叫起来，声音刺耳，向着四周传出。 王林身子落下，盯着那挣扎中的女尸，神色冷漠中右手抬起，向前狠狠一抓，立刻这女尸琵琶骨上的铁链立刻轰的一声，被王林生生拽了出来。 女尸身子剧震，尖叫之声立刻虚弱，神色露出萎靡，灵动的双眼望着王林，透出深深地恨意。 那铁链被拽出后，立刻化作一条黑蛇，张开毒牙狠狠地向着王林右臂咬下，王林根本就不闪躲，任凭那黑蛇咬下，只听砰的一声，那黑色咬在王林手臂上，毒牙立刻崩溃，却是没有伤到王林手臂半点！ 王族五星古神的肉身，岂能是这小小幻化而出的黑蛇可以破开！ 他没有停顿，再次右手虚空一抓，这一次，那女尸一声惨叫，盘骨之上的铁链，被王林抽出。 一捏之下，便把铁链捏碎！ 这女尸身子一晃，半坐在了地上，王林张口便是一道元神之气，弥漫罗盘，他盘膝坐在一旁，双手掐诀之下向前一点，立刻这罗盘缓缓地转动，禁制渐渐融入这女尸体内。 “仙帝青霖玉简内曾有一术名为尸卫，是把与其做对之人杀死后，配合多种材料，炼化成一种没有任何痛楚，随时可以崩溃护主的歹毒之尸，我虽说找不到那些至今已经灭绝的材料，炼不出尸卫，但却可以施展一下那控制尸卫的手段！” 王林闭上双眼，双手在身前不断变换印记，时而打出融入那女尸体内。 时间缓缓过去，日出日落中，便是大半个月，王林在这水灵星，转眼间已经居住了三个月，在这三个月内，他除了在绝峰之顶感悟，便是在宫殿内炼化女尸。 炼化女尸的过程很是复杂，更是需要专心一意，如此一来，王林几乎足不出户，每隔一段时间便会打出印决。 此刻，在他居住的宫殿内，那十丈罗盘还在旋转，其上的女尸盘膝而坐，全身上下散发出阵阵银光，尤其是眉心之上，更有一个印记闪烁。 她神色平和，之前的怨恨已然消失的无影无踪，此刻的女尸，若是有外人看到，绝难想象其真正的身份，无论怎么看，都是一个美貌的女修。 王林在这水灵星修炼之时，天运星上发生了一件说大不大，说小不小的事情，一个名为司徒南的大神通修士，在天运星上扬名而起，成为了红粉宫的宫主。 在这三个月的时间，天运星上几乎所有中小门派内的女弟子，竟然纷纷受到此人的骚扰，索性此人并非用强，只是以其净涅修为打着传授仙术的幌子，更暗示可以赠送提高修为的丹药，把不少女修聚集在一起，使得红粉宫无限的壮大起来。 整日里快乐无边，若是外出，则是浩浩荡荡数千女修环绕其身边，使得这司徒南贪色之名，传了开来。 不过此人倒也守信，凡是因为他进入红粉宫的女修，全部赠送丹药传授仙术，若是其师门追究，这司徒南便立刻会理直气壮的冲去找人理论一番，最终的结果，往往都是那些宗派不得不笑脸相迎，毕竟这司徒南的修为，是净涅修士。 如此一来，这红粉宫内的女修，越来越多，司徒之名，也算名震天运。 也不知从哪里听闻，说那尘道三子有两个女弟子，堪称绝色，更有一人是天生水灵根，另外一人冷艳至极，这司徒南立刻心里痒痒起来，琢磨半天，立刻带着红粉宫内大量女修，走出天运星，在有人带路之下，直奔水灵星而去。 一行人浩浩荡荡，全部清一色都是女修，一个个身穿粉红衣裙，在她们中间，则是一个长约数十丈的巨大白玉床，司徒南斜靠在上面，身边环绕大量女修，神色极为快活。 在司徒南前方，则是站着一个身穿蓝衣的中年男子，这男子相貌英俊，目光淫邪，此刻弯腰阿谀道：“司徒前辈，晚辈保证那水灵星的两个女修，都是国色天香之人，尤其是那赵雪，更是美貌惊人，还有那叫做灵儿的女修，天生水灵根，可是上好的炉鼎！” 司徒南享受着身边若干女修的伺候，哈哈一笑，点头道：“好，若是真如你所说，到时候老子少不了你的那份赏赐，恩……丹药，仙术，到时你任选！” 那中年男子眼中露出喜色，连忙道谢，又说了不少好话，听的司徒南哈哈大笑。 这中年男子内心冷笑，暗道：“赵雪，让你再清高，这一次司徒前辈亲自去，我倒要看看，你是从还是不从！ 司徒南目光在这中年男子身上一扫，尽管神色开怀，但心里对于此人的念头，却是心知肚明，以他的心机，一眼就看出这男子定是与那水灵星的两个女修有仇隙。 不过，这一切他司徒南才不会理睬。 “水灵根不错，我那兄弟是块木头，估计这些年来也没什么女人，若是这两个丫头不错，老子即便是抢，也要抢来当做见面礼了。 水灵根……不错不错。” 司徒南嘿嘿一笑，他内心也有些惆怅，在天运星这几个月，他寻找王林，可却没有任何线索，天云宗他有心去探索，但在整个天云宗内，却是有一股极为庞大的气息弥漫，好似被***了一般，以司徒南的修为，想要进去，有些困难。 这一现象，使得天运星的修士大为诧异，但却想不明白其中的端倪。 没有人知道，这是天运子闭关前，下的一道命令，封闭天运宗，开启护山大阵！ 所幸天运宗的弟子太多，还有不少在外面，其中有几个女修，更是被司徒南拐到了红粉宫“游玩”，询问之下，知晓了当年王林在妖灵之地的种种传闻。 这些传闻本就不是什么秘密，在这之前，司徒南也曾从天运星之人口中听过。 此刻相互印证之下，却是让他极为吃惊，但很快就是哈哈大笑，内心暗道：“这才是老子的兄弟，要做，就做出惊天动地的大事！” 询问之下，司徒南更是知道，数月前，王林回归天运星。 司徒南沉吟后，分析了前后之事，他认为王林既然敢回来，就是有恃无恐，如此来说，安全上没有问题。 只是他很奇怪，王林到底凭着什么有恃无恐。 “莫非这小子修为暴增？” 司徒南想了很久，也没想出所以然，但他通过了解与分析，却是知道，这一次王林回来的目的，一定是那妖灵之地！ 所以，王林不会走远，在短时间内，定会出现。 如此一来，司徒南也就不着急了，索性痛痛快快的玩乐一番，也算把在凤栾星的郁闷驱散了一些。 这一日，在那中年男子的带路下，司徒南被数百女修环绕，远远地看到了水灵星！ “嘿嘿，还是老子够道义，专门为小林子选侍妾来了，他若是知道了，不知会是什么表情！” 望着水灵星，司徒南哈哈大笑。 (未完待续，如欲知后事如何，请登陆***.***.***，章节更多，支持作者，支持正版阅读！
Chapter 990 - Kidnap Chapter 990 - Kidnap That woman let out a wail that was harsh and created a powerful impact. Large amounts of restrictions collapsed. Anxiety appeared in the eyes of the female corpse, then she quickly retreated. Blue light shot out from Wang Lin’s right eye once more and turned into a shield, blocking her path. There was a strong shockwave from the shield that caused her to retreat once more. As Wang Lin pointed with his right finger, all the restrictions gathered around the female corpse. The female corpse retreated, causing the chains on her body to shake. Then a black mist surrounded her. She opened her mouth to spit out a pair of red scissors that flew into the air and mercilessly cut at the restrictions! There was a thud as the scissor cut all the restrictions above her. The female corpse then charged upward while surrounded by the black mist. Seeing that she was about to break through the palace, Wang Lin’s expression turned cold. With a thought, the ancient god furnace appeared around him. “Change position!” As Wang Lin’s calm voice echoed, the female corpse glowed. Just as she was about to touch the ceiling of the palace, her body trembled and suddenly changed positions with Wang Lin, who was at the center of the compass! In an instant, Wang Lin appeared where the female corpse was, and the female corpse was standing at the center of the compass. The compass rotated rapidly and countless restrictions wrapped around the female corpse. The surrounding restrictions also closed in. The female didn’t notice fast enough, and her cultivation level had dropped a lot due to her injuries, so she allowed the restrictions to wrap around her. Large amounts of restrictions quickly locked her down, especially her feet, which seemed to be stuck to the compass; she wasn’t able to move them at all. While struggling, the female corpse began to scream. Her shrill slowly spread. Wang Lin landed and looked at the struggling female corpse. His eyes were cold as he mercilessly reached out. The chain going through her shoulder blade was pulled out. Weakened, the female corpse screamed immediately, her body trembling. Her intelligent eyes stared at Wang Lin with deep hatred. After the chain was pulled out, it turned into a black snake and fiercely bit Wang Lin’s right arm with its fangs. Wang Lin didn’t even dodge and let the black snake bite down. The moment the snake bit Wang Lin’s arm, the fangs collapsed, and Wang Lin’s arm wasn’t injured at all! How could this mere black snake break through the body of a 5-star royal ancient god? Wang Lin squeezed with his right hand and the black snake trembled before shattering into pieces of chain. He didn’t stop and once more reached at the void. The female corpse let out a scream as the chain in her pelvis was pulled out by Wang Lin. With a squeeze of his hand, he crushed the chain! The female corpse fell and she was noq half-sitting on the ground. Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of origin energy that entered the compass. He then sat down on the side and his hands began forming seals. The compass slowly rotated and restrictions entered her body. “Celestial Emperor Qing Lin had a spell called ‘Corpse Guard.’ It required the body of the enemies he killed and various other materials to form a vicious corpse that feels no pain and can be used to protect the owner. Although I can’t find those extinct materials to refine a corpse puppet, I can use the method to control the corpse guard.” Wang Lin closed his eyes, and his hands continued to form restrictions that entered the female corpse’s body. Time slowly passed. As the sun rose and set, more than half a month had passed. Wang Lin had spent almost four months on planet Water Spirit. During this time, aside from the time he spent comprehending on the peak, he was refining the female corpse. The process of refining the female corpse was very complex and required all his concentration. As a result, Wang Lin never went outside and would place a restriction every once in a while. At this moment, the 100 foot compass was still rotating inside his palace with the woman sitting on top. Her whole body glowed silver and there was a mark flashing between her eyebrows. Her expression was peaceful and the resentment from before had disappeared. If someone else saw her, they would find it difficult to imagine her true identity. No matter how you looked at it, she was a beautiful female cultivator. While Wang Lin was on planet Water Spirit, a not so big or small thing happened on planet Tian Yun. A powerful cultivator named Situ Nan had arrived on planet Tian Yun and became the Palace Lord of the Pink Palace. However, his reputation wasn’t exactly a good one. In three months of time, almost every female disciple of the small and medium sects were harassed by him. He never used force, though. He just used his Nirvana Cleanser cultivation as a pretense to teach them spells and hinted that he could gift them pills to increase their cultivation level. As a result, he gathered a lot of female cultivators and strengthened the pink palace greatly. He spent his days in endless joy, and if he went out, he would have 1,000 female cultivators around him. This made his perverted ways famous. However, this person was trustworthy because all the female disciples that entered the Pink Palace were taught spells and received pills. If any sect complained, Situ Nan would righteously rush to them to have a talk with them. Often, the sect would give him face. After all, Situ Nan was a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator. As a result, more and more female cultivators joined the Pink Palace, and it could be said that Situ Nan’s name had made its way across Tian Yun. He had heard from some unknown sources that the three Chen brothers had two female disciples that were stunning. One of them had a water spirit root and the other was ice cold. This made Situ Nan’s heart itch, and after pondering for half a day, he led a large amount of female cultivators toward planet Water Spirit with someone leading the way. This large group was almost exclusively females wearing pink dress. Amidst them was a bed dozens of feet wide. Situ Nan lied on top of the best surrounded by many female cultivators, looking very happy. There were almost 100 female cultivators around the bed as they moved toward planet Water Spirit. There was a middle-aged man in blue before Situ Nan. He was handsome and had an evil gaze, and he flattered, “Senior Situ, Junior ensures that these two female cultivators are top qualify. Zhao Xue is an amazing beauty, and the one called Ling Er has a water spirit root, making her an excellent cultivation furnace!” Situ Nan enjoyed having female cultivators serving him. He laughed and nodded. “OK, if what you say is true, I won’t be stingy with your reward…. Pill, celestial spell, you choose!” The middle-aged man’s eyes filled with joy. He quickly said his thanks along with many other compliments that made Situ Nan laugh. This middle-aged man sneered and thought, “Zhao Xue, no matter how lofty you are, I want to see whether you obey or not with Senior Situ here! Also, Ling Er won’t be able to escape either!” Situ Nan looked at the middle-aged man. Although he looked happy, he knew exactly what the middle-aged man was thinking. With Situ Nan’s cunning, he was immediately able to tell that there was a grudge between this middle-aged man and the two women from planet Water Spirit. However, Situ Nan didn’t care about any of this. “A water spirit root is pretty good. That brother of mine is a piece of wood and probably still hasn’t had any woman in all these years. If these two girls are good, then I’ll take them as a greeting gift, even if I have to steal them. Water spirit root… not bad, not bad.” Situ Nan let out a mischievous smile. Then he let out a sigh. During the few months he was on planet Tian Yun, he wanted to look for Wang Lin, but found no clues. He thought about going to the Heavenly Fate Sect, but there was a powerful aura sealing the whole place. It would be difficult for Situ Nan to enter with his current strength. This phenomenon surprised all the cultivators on planet Tian Yun, but they couldn’t think of a reason. No one knew that the All-Seer had given the command to do so before he went into close door cultivation. Seal the Heavenly Fate Sect and open the sect protection formation! Fortunately, there were too many disciples in the Heavenly Fate Sect, and some were outside. That included a few female cultivators that were taken to the Pink Palace by Situ Nan to “play”. After asking them, he found out about the rumors of what Wang Lin did back in the Demon Spirit Land. These rumors were not a secret, and Situ Nan had heard them from others on planet Tian Yun. After confirming this, he was surprised, but soon he laughed and thought, “That’s my brother. If he is going to do something, he is going to do something heaven-shattering!” As he asked more, he learned that Wang Lin had returned to planet Tian Yun several months ago. Situ Nan pondered for a bit and came to the conclusion that if Wang Lin dared to return, then Wang Lin must not have been worried about anything, so his safety wasn’t an issue. However, he found it strange that Wang Lin was so fearless. “Could that kid’s cultivation level have increased rapidly?” Situ Nan had thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a reason.

While in the knight’s hand, a muffled ringing sound could be heard even though the sword was broken. The sound carried a murderous chilling atmosphere and while standing next to Hussein, Du Wei can clearly feel a hair raising chill through his side.\nDadaneier was also nervously looking around. “What did you find? Could it be the golden eye Python?”\n“No,” Hussein spoke coldly. “Golden eye Pythons are solitary magical beasts, while there are a lot of these things around.”\nIn the air, there was a faint voice like that of rustling leaves and branches. Then from a distance, a buckling sound was oscillating around the area, causing the snow on top of the trees and rocks to flutter down to the ground.\nIn addition, Du Wei also heard a strange voice like that of a conversation. The buzzes were not like that of a human’s voice, nor a howl like that of magical beast. Among the shaking sounds of rustling leaves, the sounds of swarming bees could be heard….\nThen all of a sudden, snipping sounds could be heard from numerous places, like those of wood breaking. What happened after was a real eye opener for Du Wei.\nAbout 20 paces from them, a cedar tree suddenly shook as it pulled its roots out from the snow! Shaking a few times to remove the soil and ice clinging to it, the huge roots split into two sections like a person’s leg. Then in a clumsy way, it took two steps forward!\nThat buzzing rustling sound was like some sort of wakeup signal. Soon, in the surrounding forest, countless number of trees started to shake as if awaking from slumber! Pulling out their roots from the snow, the trees started to walk awkwardly towards them.\nDu Wei and Dadaneier were already frozen in place as they watched. As for Hussein, his face had a thoughtful look as he peered at the living trees.\nThe “Treants” increased in numbers as they gathered. With more than 10 to a couple of dozen of these huge bulking bodies packed towards them from the Canyon entrance, all the while keeping a certain distance from them. These trees didn’t have eyes or mouths, but they did have a lot of arms! Curling their branches up, many of these “Treants” picked up something to be used as “weapons”.\nIn the mix, there were huge stones, while some were frosted soil from the ground, and some simply grabbed chunks of ice with their vines.\n“They are…… Readying to attack us?!” Du Wei shouted, “We need to move back! Head into the Canyon!”\n“Wait a minute, just wait a while!” Hussein spoke in a steady voice, “These are Treants, I know they are creatures…… However, Treants are docile magical creatures. They never take the initiative to attack something, so don’t move! If they are provoked, they can wake up more trees! Don’t forget, we are in the frozen forest, there are trees everywhere!\nSuddenly, several Treants standing in the front row lets out a strange ROAR as if stirred by the dialogue between the two. (Du Wei could not understand how these things without a mouth, could let out a roaring sound). While roaring, a few Treants used their “hands” to roll up rocks and ice to throw towards the three men!\nWith a cry, Du Wei quickly chanted a spell and shot forth two wind blades at the huge mass of ice in the air, shattering it.\nFacing a dense barrage of rocks facing down upon them, Saddam Hussein suddenly grabbed Du Wei’s the collar with one hand, then with his other hand holding a sword handle, he shoved it against Dadaneier’s chest to push him out of the way. Afterwards, Hussein also jumped away with Du Wei in tow.\nThe collision of dense raining rocks echoed in the Canyon. The large open area where the three men stood before have been cratered with countless large holes. Gripped with horror from the scene, Du Wei stared at Hussein as he spoke. “Dude, what did you just say? Mild temper? Never take the initiative to attack? They clearly wanted and almost mashed us into mud!”\nFrom a distance, a Treant came towards them in big strides and crushed one of the stone statues, then uttered a roar.\nBehind it, hundreds of large Treants have subsequently issued a flurry of tsunami-like cries.\n“Hey! They are not very friendly! It’s like they are about to strike at us! Are we going to stand here?” Du Wei wore a bitter and wry smile.\n“Your words are nonsense! There are trees everywhere in this place, unless you can immediately run out of the frozen forest! Otherwise, all the trees throughout the forest can be awakened to be their allies! So don’t provoke them!\n“Damn it, I didn’t provoke them.” Du Wei scolded with a smile.\nOne Treant suddenly bent down and swept at the three men with its huge branches. Also somewhat annoyed, a pale golden light flashed across Hussein’s body. With one swing of his broken sword, a golden light flashed across the tree’s “hand” and sliced it apart.\nOnce the Knight made his move, he didn’t hold back and went all the way! After setting Du Wei down, the knight leaped towards the front of the enemy. In one move, he bypassed a Treant’s large awl like feet, then with his backhand, he cut the leg in a cross motion. In a snap, the leg of the treant was severed, causing the unstable tree to fall down immediately.\nThe weakness of this huge creature is its slow movement. When a tree falls, it would definitely crush three to four companions with it. Like that of a domino, when one falls, the rest goes with it.\nJust when Du Wei felt reassured, he could hear a distant whirring and buzzing sound picking up pace. It was as if the Treants were being commanded, suddenly, all the Treants sent out a roar. No longer acting clumsily as they try to land a hit on Hussein, instead, the Treants shed off their leaves and swept towards Hussein in a razor sharp sound!\nThis attack was much more horrifying than the previous, even comparable to countless magicians simultaneously shooting forth numerous wind blades! No matter how fast the knight is capable of, he is not immune to the attacks from all directions. After rolling around the ground to dodge, his Dou Qi dispersed and spread around his body. The entirety of the knight and the air around him became like that of a golden ball, blocking off the attacking leaves….. In mere moments, the masses of leaves bouncing off the light have piled up like a haystack and almost covered the knight’s body.\nIt’s not that Du Wei didn’t want to help the knight, in fact, he wanted to help. But just when he peeked his head out from behind a the rock he was hiding behind, two leaves flew and nailed into the rock in front of them. The soft leaves were able to penetrate deeply into the rocks so they had no choice but be honest to themselves and hide.\nAt this point, the leaves have already covered Hussein entirely, even so, the Knight didn’t give up. Spreading out his arms, the knight took in a deep breath. Suddenly, a vindictive surge of energy erupts from his body and blew the leaves away. Despite being protected by his Dou Qi, he did receive a barrage of attacks over a long period of time, so his body would still be strained. In appearance, Hussein’s eyes now carried a golden glow and the sword he was carrying was shining with a golden light.\nHiding behind the rocks, Du Wei could only hear the sound of a loud explosion…\nBoom!!\nIn one swing, the golden sword instantly cuts down a group of Treants in one area. Even the nearby Treants cracked and broke apart from the impact shock wave of the invincible golden sword Dou Qi (aura). The results were piles of crumbing woods littering the ground.\nThis one skill of Hussein’s was alarmingly dangerous. After the golden light dims and dispersed, the surrounding 20 meters of land surrounding him was littered with broken pieces of wood. The Treants lucky enough to be further away still ended up lying on the ground. In one sword strike, half of the hundreds of Treants were killed by him!\nBut this one sword strike obviously consumed a lot of energy from the knight. He was already injured to begin with so his strength was far from recovered. After the use of this skill, his breathing became uneven and a whistling sound could be heard from his mouth. No longer able to withstand the strain on his body any longer, sweat could be seen on his forehead as he held his sword tip facing the ground.\nDu Wei and Dadaneier gave each other one look before jumping out from behind the rocks, then quickly ran to Hussein’s side. Immediately, Dadaneier quickly dragged Hussein with him as he ran back towards the rock they were hiding behind. As for Du Wei, ignoring the consumption of magical energy within himself, he shot forth as many fireballs as he could within one breath and lit the heaps of woods on fire. Turning around as fast as he could, Du Wei followed closely behind the other two.\n“Run into the Canyon!” Du Wei cried.\n“How are we supposed to run?! The entrance leading into the Canyon was blocked!” Dadaneier exclaimed.\nThe stone throw from the first attack earlier had already blocked off the narrow entrance in the Canyon.\n“Then let’s first hide behind the rocks!” Du Wei cried.\nThe group retreated back to where the two men hid themselves earlier. But behind them, the vibrating rustling and buzzing sound could be heard again from the forest. This time, the sound was traveling even further then before.\n“They are summoning more companions.” Hussain sighed, “Let me go, I merely over exhausted myself a bit from that one sword strike…. If it was the normal me, I would take them all down in one strike.\n“If it was the normal you, still a Holy Knight, then you wouldn’t have even been chased to this place.” Du Wei showed a wry smile, “You are injured and your strength is only at thirty to forty percent, you can’t cope with the endless amount of monsters. Maybe you can call the old fool out? I think against these things, physical force will be useless against them and the best solution is to use large scale proximity magic.”\n“Wait a moment, something seems wrong……” Dadaneier peaks his eyes out on top of the rock to see, then suddenly looked down, “They are not attacking, instead, they are retreating to the back as If waiting for something!”\n“What?” Du Wei also sticks his head out." } ]
第七十四章 侯赛因说完，他轻轻的一弹剑锋，破旧的长剑在这个骑士的手里居然发出了一声清脆的低吟之声，这声音之中带着肃杀之气，站在侯赛因身边的杜维，能很清晰的感觉到到一丝寒气流过身边，激得他全身汗毛竖立起来，忍不住打了个寒战。 达达尼尔也是紧张的看着四周：“你发现了什么？ 难道是金眼蟒？” “不是。” 侯赛因冷冷道：“金眼蟒是独居魔兽，这些家伙…很多。” 空气之中，隐隐的传来了一阵仿佛是树枝树叶的沙沙声音，随后从远处，仿佛传来一声一声的闷雷一般的声音，那声音振荡得周围的树木和岩石上的积雪噗噗抖落。 骤然的，三人周围，忽然无数个地方都传来了喀嚓喀嚓的声音，就好似木头折断的声音一般，随即这声音连城了哗哗一片！ 接下来，杜维可算是大开眼界了！ 首先是距离他们大约二十多步之外的一棵雪松忽然自己晃动了一下，然后整棵树的树根自动从雪地下狠狠地拔了出来！ 带着冰渣和土屑。 抖动了几下，两根巨大的根就仿佛人的两条腿一般岔开，然后用一种笨拙的方式，往前迈了两步！ 杜维陡然醒悟了！ 那沙沙的嗡鸣声，就好像是一种唤醒的某种信号一般！ 很快的，周围的一片森林里，无数地树木都开始晃动，然后“醒来”！ 这些树好像都活了过来一样。 杜维和达达尼尔已经看呆住了，而侯赛因却脸上露出了沉思的表情，手里握着剑，眯着眼睛看着这些活过来的树。 这些“树人”越聚越多，从十几个到几十个，这些庞大的身躯密密麻麻的朝着峡谷口围拢了过来，却一直和杜维等三人保持着一定的距离，这些树木没有眼睛，没有嘴巴。 但是它们却有很多的手臂！ 有地是巨大的石块，有的是从雪地下裂开出来的冻土，还有地干脆抓了大块的冰块，就这么用树枝卷着。 缓缓地朝着峡谷口毕竟！ “它们…是准备攻击我们？” 我知道这种生物…但是，树人是一种性情温良的魔兽。 它们从来不主动攻击别的东西，别轻举妄动！ 如果惹恼了它们，它们可以唤醒更多的树！ 这里到处都是树！” 正说着，忽然，站在前排的几个树人仿佛被两人的对话惊动了，大树发出了一声奇怪的咆哮（杜维无法理解，这些东西没有嘴巴，怎么发出这种仿佛吼叫一般的声音地）。 他飞快的吟唱了一句咒语，两道风刃射了出去，将一个巨大的冰块在半空击散，而另外一道风刃把一个掩饰荡开。 一阵密集的轰鸣声，那密集的“岩石雨”立刻把峡谷口刚才三人站立的那一大块空地砸出了无数个大坑来，杜维看得心惊肉跳，百忙之中还扭头看了侯赛因一眼：“老兄！ 你刚才说什么！ 性情温良？ 一个树人大步走了过来，抬起硕大的树根（它的脚），一脚就把峡谷口的那个石头雕像踩碎掉了，随即发出了一声咆哮。 身后，上百个身体庞大的，巨人一般的树人都随后发出了一阵山呼海啸般的响应。 它们可不太友好！ 好像就要攻击了，我们还傻傻的站在这儿吗？” 杜维苦笑道。 “废话，这里到处都是树，除非你能立刻跑出冰封森林！ 否则的话，树人可以把整个森林的树全部唤醒成它们的伙伴！ “妈的，我可没惹它们。” 杜维笑骂道。 一个树人忽然弯下身子，庞大的树枝朝着三人狠狠的扫了过来，侯赛因也有些恼火了，他身上闪过一丝淡金色的光芒，大喝一声，手里的破剑横扫了过去，那道淡淡的金色的光芒闪过，树人的“手”立刻就被横着砍了下来！ 他放下了杜维，自己却朝着前面扑了过去！ 就地一滚，躲过了一个树人如锥子一般砸下来的巨大的脚，然后反手一剑横斩过去，喀嚓一声，树根就被他砍断了，那个树人站立不稳，立刻朝后面倒去。 这种庞大的家伙，弱点就是行动缓慢了，一个树人倒下去，却几乎砸倒了三四个同伴。 就好像多米诺骨牌一样。 就在杜维放心的时候，忽然远处传来的那些沙沙的嗡鸣声变得急促了起来。 这仿佛就一种命令一般，顿时所有地树人都发出了咆哮声，它们不再笨拙的用巨大而缓慢的手脚去试图砸侯赛因了，反而忽然之间，这些树人全身的树叶抖落了下来，带着锐利的破空声，那些树叶仿佛片片刀锋一般，席卷着朝着侯赛因呼啸而去！ 整个人变成了犹如金色的气团一般。 那个圆形的金色的光球在身体周围，挡下了所有的树叶…一时间，密密麻麻地树叶几乎把骑士湮没了，他地小小的身子瞬间就变成了一个覆盖满了树叶的草堆。 不是杜维见死不救——他倒是想帮忙来着。 但是他刚露头，夺夺两声。 两片树叶就钉在了他面前的一块岩石上！ 柔软地树叶甚至深深的插进了岩石里！ 杜维只能和达达尼尔两人老老实实地躲在岩石后面了。 侯赛因已经被树叶覆盖住了，不过骑士深深吸了口气，猛然之间双臂一扩，斗气激荡之中，顿时抖落了全身的树叶，他虽然有斗气护体，但是在这没完没了的树叶攻击下，时间长了也吃不消的。 此刻侯赛因的眼睛里的两个瞳孔仿佛都变成了金色，他手里的长剑上变成了一道金光！ 杜维躲在岩石后面。 轰！ 那道金色的剑气挥洒开来，瞬间就割破了周围一圈树人地根部！ 甚至距离靠近的几个树人。 侯赛因这一招可算是惊人了，金光散去之后，以他所站的地方为中心，周围的二十米之内的树人全部变成了片片碎木头，稍远一点的树人也都趴在了地上！ 这一剑下去，上百的树人就有一大半给他干掉了！ 不过这一剑显然也消耗了骑士不少能量，他原本身上就带着伤，元气还远远没有恢复，这一剑之后，呼吸也有些不匀，忍不住用长剑拄着地面，呼呼喘息，额头也出现了点点汗水。 杜维和达达尼尔两人互相看了一眼，同时从岩石后面跳了出来，迅速的奔跑到了侯赛因的身边，达达尼尔飞快的把侯赛因往身上一架，拖着就往岩石后面跑，而杜维立刻不顾魔力消耗，尽可能的一口气也不知道射出了多少个火球来，点燃了周围的那一堆堆木头，然后掉头也跟着跑。 “往峡谷里跑！” 杜维大声喊道。 “怎么跑！ 入口被堵死了！” 达达尼尔叫道。 刚才最先的那一波石块乱砸的攻击里，原本就狭窄的峡谷入口已经被岩石堵死了。 “那就先躲到岩石后面！” 杜维大声喊道。 三人退到了刚才杜维和达达尼尔藏身的地方。 可是身后，森林里一阵一阵的沙沙的嗡鸣声再次传来，这次的声音比开始的那次更嘹亮，声音传播得更远！ “它们在召唤更多的同伴。” 侯赛因叹了口气：“放开我吧，我只是刚才那一剑施得有些过猛了…唉，如果在平时，我一剑就能干掉那些东西！” “如果在平时，你还是神圣骑士，也不会被追赶到这个鬼地方来。” 杜维苦笑道：“你现在受伤，实力最多剩下三四成，可对付不了这些无穷无尽的怪物，你能召唤来那个老家伙么？ 这些东西我觉得用武技近身攻击没用，最好是用魔法才能解决…大规模范围打击的魔法。” “等等，好像不对…”达达尼尔趴在岩石上露出眼睛去观察，忽然低头道：“它们没有攻击，反而在退后。 它们…好像在等什么东西！” “什么？” 杜维也探出脑袋去。
Chapter 74 Once Hussein finished speaking, he lightly waved his sword through the air in self defense. While in the knight’s hand, a muffled ringing sound could be heard even though the sword was broken. The sound carried a murderous chilling atmosphere and while standing next to Hussein, Du Wei can clearly feel a hair raising chill through his side. Dadaneier was also nervously looking around. “What did you find? Could it be the golden eye Python?” “No,” Hussein spoke coldly. “Golden eye Pythons are solitary magical beasts, while there are a lot of these things around.” In the air, there was a faint voice like that of rustling leaves and branches. Then from a distance, a buckling sound was oscillating around the area, causing the snow on top of the trees and rocks to flutter down to the ground. In addition, Du Wei also heard a strange voice like that of a conversation. The buzzes were not like that of a human’s voice, nor a howl like that of magical beast. Among the shaking sounds of rustling leaves, the sounds of swarming bees could be heard…. Then all of a sudden, snipping sounds could be heard from numerous places, like those of wood breaking. What happened after was a real eye opener for Du Wei. About 20 paces from them, a cedar tree suddenly shook as it pulled its roots out from the snow! Shaking a few times to remove the soil and ice clinging to it, the huge roots split into two sections like a person’s leg. Then in a clumsy way, it took two steps forward! That buzzing rustling sound was like some sort of wakeup signal. Soon, in the surrounding forest, countless number of trees started to shake as if awaking from slumber! Pulling out their roots from the snow, the trees started to walk awkwardly towards them. Du Wei and Dadaneier were already frozen in place as they watched. As for Hussein, his face had a thoughtful look as he peered at the living trees. The “Treants” increased in numbers as they gathered. With more than 10 to a couple of dozen of these huge bulking bodies packed towards them from the Canyon entrance, all the while keeping a certain distance from them. These trees didn’t have eyes or mouths, but they did have a lot of arms! Curling their branches up, many of these “Treants” picked up something to be used as “weapons”. In the mix, there were huge stones, while some were frosted soil from the ground, and some simply grabbed chunks of ice with their vines. “They are…… Readying to attack us?!” Du Wei shouted, “We need to move back! Head into the Canyon!” “Wait a minute, just wait a while!” Hussein spoke in a steady voice, “These are Treants, I know they are creatures…… However, Treants are docile magical creatures. They never take the initiative to attack something, so don’t move! If they are provoked, they can wake up more trees! Don’t forget, we are in the frozen forest, there are trees everywhere! Suddenly, several Treants standing in the front row lets out a strange ROAR as if stirred by the dialogue between the two. (Du Wei could not understand how these things without a mouth, could let out a roaring sound). While roaring, a few Treants used their “hands” to roll up rocks and ice to throw towards the three men! With a cry, Du Wei quickly chanted a spell and shot forth two wind blades at the huge mass of ice in the air, shattering it. Facing a dense barrage of rocks facing down upon them, Saddam Hussein suddenly grabbed Du Wei’s the collar with one hand, then with his other hand holding a sword handle, he shoved it against Dadaneier’s chest to push him out of the way. Afterwards, Hussein also jumped away with Du Wei in tow. The collision of dense raining rocks echoed in the Canyon. The large open area where the three men stood before have been cratered with countless large holes. Gripped with horror from the scene, Du Wei stared at Hussein as he spoke. “Dude, what did you just say? Mild temper? Never take the initiative to attack? They clearly wanted and almost mashed us into mud!” From a distance, a Treant came towards them in big strides and crushed one of the stone statues, then uttered a roar. Behind it, hundreds of large Treants have subsequently issued a flurry of tsunami-like cries. “Hey! They are not very friendly! It’s like they are about to strike at us! Are we going to stand here?” Du Wei wore a bitter and wry smile. “Your words are nonsense! There are trees everywhere in this place, unless you can immediately run out of the frozen forest! Otherwise, all the trees throughout the forest can be awakened to be their allies! So don’t provoke them! “Damn it, I didn’t provoke them.” Du Wei scolded with a smile. One Treant suddenly bent down and swept at the three men with its huge branches. Also somewhat annoyed, a pale golden light flashed across Hussein’s body. With one swing of his broken sword, a golden light flashed across the tree’s “hand” and sliced it apart. Once the Knight made his move, he didn’t hold back and went all the way! After setting Du Wei down, the knight leaped towards the front of the enemy. In one move, he bypassed a Treant’s large awl like feet, then with his backhand, he cut the leg in a cross motion. In a snap, the leg of the treant was severed, causing the unstable tree to fall down immediately. The weakness of this huge creature is its slow movement. When a tree falls, it would definitely crush three to four companions with it. Like that of a domino, when one falls, the rest goes with it. Just when Du Wei felt reassured, he could hear a distant whirring and buzzing sound picking up pace. It was as if the Treants were being commanded, suddenly, all the Treants sent out a roar. No longer acting clumsily as they try to land a hit on Hussein, instead, the Treants shed off their leaves and swept towards Hussein in a razor sharp sound! This attack was much more horrifying than the previous, even comparable to countless magicians simultaneously shooting forth numerous wind blades! No matter how fast the knight is capable of, he is not immune to the attacks from all directions. After rolling around the ground to dodge, his Dou Qi dispersed and spread around his body. The entirety of the knight and the air around him became like that of a golden ball, blocking off the attacking leaves….. In mere moments, the masses of leaves bouncing off the light have piled up like a haystack and almost covered the knight’s body. It’s not that Du Wei didn’t want to help the knight, in fact, he wanted to help. But just when he peeked his head out from behind a the rock he was hiding behind, two leaves flew and nailed into the rock in front of them. The soft leaves were able to penetrate deeply into the rocks so they had no choice but be honest to themselves and hide.

Are you deaf?”\nThe plump man stared down at Qin Nan with a conceited expression.\nHe would not do so normally, but it was different today. Just a while ago, Fan Xiao had promised him a great fortune if he were to teach Qin Nan a lesson, thus he had immediately accepted the offer.\nTeaching a cultivator from the lower district a lesson was too easy for him.\n“Check it out, something’s happening over there.”\n“I saw it already. A cultivator from the lower district is being picked on for not knowing the rules.”\n“Hehe, another idiot from the lower district.”\nDue to the difference between the upper and lower district, the cultivators from the lower district were looked down upon here.\nIt was as if these people from the upper district possessed some sort of superiority. They assumed themselves to be more superior than the people from the lower district.\n“Drop to your knees!”\nQin Nan’s eyes flickered thunderously as the suppression of the Divine God of Battle was unleashed.\nIt had been a long time since he had last used this move, but this middle-aged man and the guard were acting too scornfully!\nBANG! The expressions on the faces of the plump man and the guard changed tremendously. It was as if a ferocious beast was charging toward them, planning to tear them to pieces. The sense of death caused their eyes to be filled with great terror, causing their legs to bend and drop to their knees.\nThe crowd was startled. The cultivation of this young man was utterly terrifying, who had managed to force a peak Martial Ancestor Realm and a second-layer Dominator Realm cultivator to kneel immediately.\n“Qin Nan, how dare you harm the elder of the Trading Alliance!”\nMeanwhile, a roar could be heard coming from the second-layer, which turned out to be Fan Xiao.\nHe had been following Qin Nan’s trail since he had left the Fan Clan. After learning that Qin Nan’s destination was the Trading Alliance, he had immediately come up with a plan to teach him a lesson.\n“You’re screwed this time. The law enforcement team of the City Lord’s Mansion will be here to deal with you soon!”\nSo what if you had tremendous power?\nThe law enforcement team would definitely teach you a lesson!\nThe cultivators in the hall shook their heads while wearing gloating expressions.\nSince Qin Nan had dared to use violence in front of the public in the Trading Alliance, his action could be considered challenging the authority of the Ninth City. According to the rules, the law enforcement team could detain him and put him into custody.\n“Teach me a lesson? I’ll teach you one now!”\nQin Nan’s eyes flickered ferociously. This Fan Xiao had planned to get his revenge for an insignificant matter, thus there was no way Qin Nan would let him go easily. He reached out his hand encapsulating Fan Xiao’s figure like the claw of a demon.\nFan Xiao stared with his eyes open wide. He had not expected Qin Nan to target him straight away, causing his scalp to turn numb.\n“How bold! The law enforcement team is here! Stop it at once!”\n“Imbecile, how dare you!”\nAt that instant, infuriated roars could be heard. An old fifth-layer Martial Dominator Realm man entered the Trading Alliance from outside with great fury.

The crowd was astounded.\nThese two were the expert of the Trading Alliance and the law enforcement team!\n“No one will stop me from doing what I want!”\nQin Nan became enraged as if he had transformed into a peerless demon. Two Phoenix Flames burst out from his hands, firing at the old man and the bulky man.\nThe pupils of the two experts contracted as they could feel a threat from the flames. They immediately unleashed their moves to strengthen their defense.\nBANG! In just the blink of an eye, they were struck by the flames, which engulfed their figures and sent them flying backward following a roar. The crowd was stunned.\nHow did he possess such a formidable strength?\nHe dared to use violence against the people of the Trading Alliance and the law enforcement team?\nSh*t was going down!\n“Qin Nan, how daring of you to challenge the Trading Alliance and the law enforcement team. I believe you’re tired of living——” Fan Xiao wore a blank expression after witnessing the sight, before uttering a roar at Qin Nan upon collecting his thoughts.\nBefore he could finish, Qin Nan’s palm landed onto his face mercilessly. PA!\nFollowing a loud slap, Fang Xiao’s left cheek turned swollen and red. “You——”\nFan Xiao was dumbfounded. It was his first time being slapped in the face despite his identity as a disciple of the Fan Clan.\n“What about me? I’ll teach you how to behave properly!”\nQin Nan let out a hollow laugh as his right leg was encapsulated within the combined force of Phoenix Flames and Sky Thunder. He quickly raised his leg and stomped onto Fan Xiao’s left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg.\nThe crowd could hear a succession of bone-cracking noises.\nAH!\nFollowing this, a cry of agony filled the entire hall.\nNot only were his limbs broken, the aura of the combined fire and thunder penetrated his meridians and destroyed everything it came into contact with.

This young man was way too cruel. “Piss off!”\nQin Nan let out a kick onto Fan Xiao’s figure, which immediately sent him flying toward the entrance of the Trading Alliance. The impact shattered the door into pieces.\n“So what if you are from the upper district? I don’t think people from the lower district are any weaker!”\nQin Nan scanned the crowd coldly before he turned around and proceeded toward the stairs.\nThe entire place was immersed in dead silence.\n“Hold it!”\nAt that moment, an imperious yell could be heard from above.\nFollowing this, a powerful aura descended upon the place, accompanied by the suppression of the Martial Dominator Realm.

His face was as sharp as blades, giving him a stern look.\n“It’s Hong Lao[1]!”\n“Hong Lao is here!”\n“This kid is going to suffer!”\nThe cultivators were feeling unpleasant as Qin Nan had just scolded them.

第四百九十七章 “对，就是让你滚出去，你没给我听见？” 中年胖子居高临下，气势嚣张。 。 更多最新章节访问:ww。 如果是在平常，他自然不会这样做，但是今天不同，就在刚才，范啸公子让他好好教训秦南一顿，并且出手大方，中年胖子立刻答应下来。 一个下域中来的家伙，教训一顿，根本就是举手之劳。 “快看那边，好像出事了。” “我早看到了，一个下域的家伙，不懂规矩，现在被教训呢。” 同样也有一些来自下域的修士，内心暗暗叹了口气，没有多说什么。 一直以来，因为上域和下域的差异，导致上域有不少人，对下域之人，都有种鄙夷感。 就好像他们这些上域的人，从出生开始，就带着一种优越感，认为自己比下域中人更高一等。 “给我跪下！” 秦南一双眼中，骤然喷出了无穷雷霆，战神威压，滚滚喷发。 这一招，他已经很久没有动用，只是这中年胖子，还有这护法，欺人太甚！ 轰！ 中年胖子和这名护法，两人的脸‘色’，顿时大变，他们只感觉好像有着洪荒猛兽，朝着他们冲来，要将他们撕咬成碎片，那种死亡感，让他们眼中下意识‘露’出了恐惧之‘色’，双‘腿’弯曲，扑通一声，直接跪下。 第一层大殿之人，无不眼神一震，这个青年，好可怕的修为，仅仅一句话，就让这一位武宗巅峰、武皇境二重的修士，直接跪下。 他何曾想到，散发着武王境气息的秦南，这般可怕。 就在这时，一声大喝，从那第二层大殿上面响彻起来，赫然是范啸。 秦南走出范家之后，他就一路尾随，发现他来到了商道盟，立刻动了心思，想要教训秦南一顿reads;。 “这下你惨了，城主府的执法队，马上就来收拾你！” 范啸眼中‘露’出了丝讥嘲。 修为强又怎么样？ 等执法队的人来了，定然可以将秦南好好收拾！ 一层大殿之中的不少修士，都是摇了摇头，眼里‘露’出了抹玩味。 秦南这样明目张胆的在商道盟动武，完全属于挑衅，按照第九城的规则，城主府的执法队，将会缉拿秦南，将之关押。 我先收拾你！” 秦南眼中闪过了一丝电光，就因为子虚乌有的事情，范啸就对他就行报复，他岂能放过他，大手伸出，如同遮天魔爪，笼罩而下。 范啸瞪大了眼睛，他根本没有想到，秦南居然敢对他动手，当下头皮发麻。 “大胆！ 执法队在此！ 速速住手！” 就在这时，两道怒喝声，同时响彻起来。 只见到从商道盟大殿外面，一名修为达到了武皇境五重的长老，带着滚滚怒火，降临而来，在那商道盟的第三层，则有着一位修为达到了武皇境四重的中年大汉，怒目圆瞪。 全场修士齐齐一震。 这两个人，都是商道盟、执法队的强者！ “谁来也没用！” 秦南气焰汹涌起来，宛如一个盖世魔头，从他手中，炸开了两道凤凰之火，分别撞向了那长老和中年大汉的身上。 两位强者，都是瞳孔一缩，感受到了致命威胁，施展多种手段，加强防御。 轰！ 刹那之间，两人被凤凰之火击中，滚滚火海，咆哮而起，将两人的身形，瞬间击飞。 四周的修士们，齐齐懵了。 这个家伙，居然有这么强大的修为？ 这个家伙，竟然敢打商道盟和执法队的人？ 事情，闹大了！ “秦南，你好大的胆子，居然敢挑衅商道盟和执法队，我看你是活腻了”范啸看到这一幕，都是目瞪口呆，等他回过神来，他下意识就开口咆哮秦南。 只是，他的话还没说完，秦南的手掌，毫不留情甩在了他的脸上。 一道清脆声响，范啸左边的脸庞，直接被打的红肿。 范啸打懵了，他作为范家弟子，有史以来，这是第一个人打他脸reads;。 看我怎么教你做人！” 秦南冷笑一声，右脚上闪烁起来了凤凰之火、星空雷霆，两种可怕的力量，互相‘交’织，他迅速抬起脚来，如同闪电般踩在了范啸的左臂、右臂、左脚、右脚。 咔咔咔咔四道骨裂声，连续响在众人耳中。 啊！ 紧接着，一道凄厉的惨叫声，响彻整个商道盟。 只见到范啸，不仅被踩断了双臂双脚，那电火相‘交’的气息，闯入了他的经脉之中，疯狂肆虐，尽管没将他的经脉撞碎，但那撞击带来的疼痛感，让他整张脸，都变得狰狞起来。 全场所有人，都不约而同倒‘抽’口冷气，这个青年，下手好狠。 秦南一脚踢在了范啸的身上，立刻将范啸的身子，直接踢飞，将那商道盟的大‘门’，都撞的一片粉碎。 “你们是上域又怎么了？ 下域的人，不见得比你们差！” 秦南冷冷扫了眼全场，转过身来，迈步朝着第二层走去。 整个一层大殿，无人声张，一片寂静。 “站住！” 就在这时，一道威严的喝声，从那商道盟的上方，响彻起来。 紧接着，一股庞大的气息，降临而来，充满了浓浓的武皇威压，赫然是一尊修为达到了武皇境巅峰的存在。 来人是一名老者，满头红发，脸庞如同刀削，看起来极为严肃。 “是红老！” “红老出现了！” “这个小子要惨了！” 那些修士，刚才被秦南教训一番，自然不爽，如今见到商道盟的强者出现，自然‘精’神一震。 你也要找我麻烦？” 秦南停下脚步。
Chapter 497 - In a Forceful Manner Chapter 497 - In a Forceful Manner “You’re right, I’m asking you to leave. Are you deaf?” The plump man stared down at Qin Nan with a conceited expression. He would not do so normally, but it was different today. Just a while ago, Fan Xiao had promised him a great fortune if he were to teach Qin Nan a lesson, thus he had immediately accepted the offer. Teaching a cultivator from the lower district a lesson was too easy for him. “Check it out, something’s happening over there.” “I saw it already. A cultivator from the lower district is being picked on for not knowing the rules.” “Hehe, another idiot from the lower district.” Due to the difference between the upper and lower district, the cultivators from the lower district were looked down upon here. It was as if these people from the upper district possessed some sort of superiority. They assumed themselves to be more superior than the people from the lower district. “Drop to your knees!” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered thunderously as the suppression of the Divine God of Battle was unleashed. It had been a long time since he had last used this move, but this middle-aged man and the guard were acting too scornfully! BANG! The expressions on the faces of the plump man and the guard changed tremendously. It was as if a ferocious beast was charging toward them, planning to tear them to pieces. The sense of death caused their eyes to be filled with great terror, causing their legs to bend and drop to their knees. The crowd was startled. The cultivation of this young man was utterly terrifying, who had managed to force a peak Martial Ancestor Realm and a second-layer Dominator Realm cultivator to kneel immediately. “Qin Nan, how dare you harm the elder of the Trading Alliance!” Meanwhile, a roar could be heard coming from the second-layer, which turned out to be Fan Xiao. He had been following Qin Nan’s trail since he had left the Fan Clan. After learning that Qin Nan’s destination was the Trading Alliance, he had immediately come up with a plan to teach him a lesson. “You’re screwed this time. The law enforcement team of the City Lord’s Mansion will be here to deal with you soon!” So what if you had tremendous power? The law enforcement team would definitely teach you a lesson! The cultivators in the hall shook their heads while wearing gloating expressions. Since Qin Nan had dared to use violence in front of the public in the Trading Alliance, his action could be considered challenging the authority of the Ninth City. According to the rules, the law enforcement team could detain him and put him into custody. “Teach me a lesson? I’ll teach you one now!” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered ferociously. This Fan Xiao had planned to get his revenge for an insignificant matter, thus there was no way Qin Nan would let him go easily. He reached out his hand encapsulating Fan Xiao’s figure like the claw of a demon. Fan Xiao stared with his eyes open wide.

Mo Ting was of course the best; he was unique and no one else could compare. But, she couldn't anticipate how the public would react. Would being her manager affect him negatively? Above all, Mo Ting's work was what worried Tangning the most.\nHowever, Excalibur Q did not give Tangning time to dwell on this thought. After signing their contract, that very afternoon, they jumped straight into shooting their commercial.\nAs she was working with Western models, Tangning was lacking in physical strength in comparison; especially since her stomach was still unwell. After 6 hours of continuous work, Tangning was obviously struggling to keep up.\nLong Jie felt a little anxious. There were a few times she requested the photographer for a short break, but he either ignored her or told her everyone was currently working hard and Tangning wasn't the only one that was tired.\nBeing in a foreign land, when it came to matters like this, Long Jie felt powerless as a mere assistant.\nHowever, from beginning to end, Tangning endured through one take after another. Because of mistakes made by other models she had to film some scenes multiple times.\n\"Tangning, are you OK?\" Long Jie asked in between takes as she handed her some warm water.\nTangning placed her hand on her own cheek and nodded, \"I should be able to hold on.\"\n\"This was clearly not in the contract...do these Western models have a death wish?\" just as Long Jie's angered words left her mouth a loud 'BANG' echoed through the set. A relatively skinny model had fainted, \"Did she just faint?\"\n\"Isn't this a common sight?\" Tangning handed her cup back to Long Jie with an unfazed expression.\n\"Does this mean you can get some rest now?\"\n\"Come on, come on, back to work...\" the photography staff called.\nLong Jie lowered her head to look at Tangning's feet; 7-8 hours of wearing heels, how torturous.\n\"What's wrong? I've done things like this in the past. Just because Mo Ting is now my manager, does that mean I am more precious than before?\" Tangning looked amusingly at Long Jie. In the past, she had experienced shoots that were even more demanding and in more of a rush than this, how did this compare?\n\"But it's been 8 hours!\"\n\"Don't worry, I can handle it.\" After speaking, Tangning was just about to have her makeup retouched, when suddenly she felt a strong tug on her arm.\nSo was Long Jie. Actually, everyone present was in shock; an extremely distinguished man had appeared on the photography set.\nThe set filled with whispers; some people were surprised while some whistled at his appearance, thinking he was also a model. In fact, they thought he was a top-tier model. However, Mo Ting simply pulled Tangning over and gestured her to sit on the side.\nTangning struggled a little as she looked into Mo Ting's black diamond-like eyes. It only took a few seconds before she gave up and obediently sat on the chair, leaving everything for this man to handle.\nAs anticipated, Mo Ting simply walked over to the photographer and said, \"It has been stated in Article 3.2 and 6.4 of the contract that Tangning's work hours are from 8am until 6pm. If you need to work beyond these hours, it should not exceed 2 hours. Did you want to breach the contract?\"\nSo, the photographer replied, \"Everyone is working hard towards finishing this shoot. Did you expect everyone to wait for Tangning?\"\n\"Just because they are willing to be oppressed by you, that is their problem. Our Tangning is different. We will work according to the contract.\"\nAfter speaking, Mo Ting turned around and approached Tangning as everyone gasped, \"Can you still walk?\"\nTangning looked down at her heels. Just as she was about to respond, Mo Ting wrapped his arm around her waist and carried her horizontally.\n\"Hey, all this time we've been speaking, you haven't told us who you are,\" the photographer chased after them. He had only been told that Tangning had brought along an assistant and a few bodyguards.\nIt goes without saying, Long Jie was once again amazed by Mo Ting. During the contract signing, Fang Yu was the one that had read through the contract. Yet, according to Boss' confidence when he recalled the terms, it flowed out of his mouth smoothly like he had completely memorized it.\nTangning leaned into Mo Ting's embrace as he placed her into the car. Seeing the angry expression on his face, she couldn't help but ask, \"Are you really going to be my manager?\"\n\"What other choice do I have, Miss Tang?\" Mo Ting asked as he started driving.\nNormally he would call her 'Mrs. Mo'. It seemed, he really made a clear distinction between work and personal life. His manager aura could immediately be felt.\n\"Now that work is over, can Manager Mo finish up?\"\nMo Ting turned his head to look at Tangning as he let out a sigh. He couldn't bear to blame her for what had happened. Towards the person he loved, even if he was angry, he wouldn't be able to say any harsh words.\nNot long after, they returned to the hotel.\nAs soon as they entered the hotel suite, Mo Ting directly pressed Tangning on the bed and forced a kiss on her lips. After savoring her for a while, he finally moved away and knelt beside the bed to help her remove her shoes.\nNot long after, Tangning sat up from the bed and approached Mo Ting from behind to wrap her arms around his neck as her body pressed against his... \"I have not seen your feet in a good state before...\"\n\"You knew the photographer was being oppressive, why did you continue to work?\"\nHearing his complaints, Tangning suddenly laughed, \"While I was working, everything was bad. My feet hurt, my stomach hurt and my head was dizzy.\"\n\"But, after seeing you...everything's better.\"\nMo Ting felt helpless, he couldn't continue to be angry at her.

226.第226章 你不和我睡？ 这件事不在唐宁的掌控范围内，所以……她觉得有些惊慌。 墨霆当然是最好的、独一无二，但是，她实在想象不到外界的反应，这会不会对墨霆产生什么不利的因素，还有就是墨霆的工作，这是她最担心的部分。 但是，ExcaliburQ没给唐宁多余的思考时间，签订合约以后，在当天下午，就让唐宁投入广告的拍摄。 因为和欧美模特一起工作，唐宁在体力上很不占优势，尤其是她肠胃上带来的不适，在连续工作六个小时以后，唐宁明显有些跟不上。 龙姐有些着急，几次想让摄影师暂停休息，但是对方根本就不听她的提议，或者是一句大家都是在高强度的工作，不止是你家的模特辛苦来堵住龙姐。 身处异国他乡，龙姐作为一个助理，在这种事情上，深感无力。 不过，从头到尾，唐宁都硬扛了下来，一组接着一组，又因为其他模特的错误走位和定点，重拍了好多次。 “唐宁，你还好吗？” 间歇中，龙姐连忙递上温水，询问唐宁的情况。 唐宁摸了摸自己的脸颊，点了点头：“大概，还能撑得住。” “合约明明不是这样规定的……这些欧美模特真的不要命了吧？” 龙姐抱怨的话才刚落地，只听到咚的一声，一个较为瘦弱的女模晕了过去，“就这么直接晕了？” “这不是常有的事？” 唐宁不以为然的将杯子递给龙姐。 “那现在可以休息了吧？” “来来来，继续……”摄影棚的工作人员大喊道。 龙姐低头看唐宁的脚，连续七八个小时的细跟鞋，那得多受罪啊。 从前也是这么过来的，难道就因为墨霆成了我的经纪人，我就要比从前金贵了？” 唐宁好笑的看着龙姐说道，因为赶进度，比这更疯狂的拍摄，她都见过，这算什么呢？ “可是整整八个小时了！” “放心吧，我还能撑。” 唐宁说完，正准备让化妆师补妆，可忽然之间，手臂就被一股强大的力量，给拽了过去。 龙姐也愣住了，事实上，在场的人，就没有不震惊的，因为出现在摄影棚这个无比尊贵的男人。 摄影棚爆发了各种声音，有人面露惊讶，有人猛吹口哨，以为墨霆也是模特，而且是极品模特，但是，墨霆只是环着唐宁，示意她坐在一边。 唐宁挣扎了一下，凝视墨霆犹如黑曜石般的双眼，但只是几秒，她就败下阵来，顺从的坐在了一旁的椅子上，将一切都交给了这个男人。 果然，只见墨霆走到了摄影师的面前，直接说道：“合约第3.2条和6.4条有注明，唐宁的工作时间，从上午八点到下午六点。 如果是超出规定时间范围，唐宁的正常工作时长，应该控制在两个小时内，你想违约？” 所以，摄影师回答墨霆：“所有人都在赶进度，难道要我们等唐宁一个人吗？” “她们愿意被你压榨，那是她们的事，但是我家唐宁不行，一切按照合约执行。” 说完，墨霆转身，在众人唏嘘声中，走到了唐宁面前，询问她：“还能走吗？” 唐宁低头看了一眼自己的双眼，正想回答，但是墨霆的手已经环过了她的腰，将她打横一抱。 “喂，说了半天，你是谁啊。” 摄影师在后面追问，因为他听说，唐宁就带了一个助理和几个保镖。 “唐宁的经纪人。” 你们这么欺负boss的老婆，他有好脸色就怪了，但是，不得不说，龙姐又一次被墨霆震惊到了，昨天签约的时候，明明就是方煜在场看的合约，但是听boss刚才条条款款的脱口而出，完全是已经背下来的节奏啊。 唐宁靠在墨霆的怀中，被他放在轿车当中，见他脸色有点臭，忍不住的开口问道：“真打算当我经纪人了？” 唐小姐。” 墨霆一边开车，一边反问。 平时，他都叫墨太太的，看来，他真的把工作和生活分得很清楚，经纪人的架势，马上就拿了出来。 “现在工作已经结束了，墨经纪人可以先下班吗？” 墨霆侧头看了唐宁一眼，无奈的叹了口气，苛责的话，实在说不出口，自己疼的人，即便是生气，也舍不得对她说任何的重话。 很快，几人回到了酒店。 一进入房间，墨霆直接将唐宁摁在床上，吻住她的薄唇，感受她好一会后，才从她身上起身，然后蹲在她的双腿边，给她脱鞋。 看着她的脚跟脚背全都是血泡又或者破了皮，心里多少有些难受。 “还有，明知道是摄影师的压榨，为什么还要继续工作？” 唐宁听着他的抱怨，顿时在他背上笑了：“工作的时候，一切都不好，脚也疼，胃也疼，还特别的头晕。” “但是看到你来了……就什么都好了。” 墨霆气得没辙，拿她没办法，就这么背着她站起身来，朝着落地窗前走了几步：“我不会再让人欺负你。” 墨霆背着她摇晃了几下：“你还嫌我话多……你什么时候见过我这么管别人？” “别念了……我们洗澡吧。” 墨霆没再说话，是因为他知道唐宁是真的累，所以就带着她洗完澡，将她放在床上：“我住对面，有什么事，给我打电话。” 唐宁瞬间就清醒了：“你不和我睡？” “工作期间，一起按照合约来。” 墨霆替她掖好被褥，然后关好灯。
Chapter 226: You're Not Sleeping With Me? Chapter 226: You're Not Sleeping With Me? This decision was not within the scope of Tangning's control, so...she felt a little scared. Mo Ting was of course the best; he was unique and no one else could compare. But, she couldn't anticipate how the public would react. Would being her manager affect him negatively? Above all, Mo Ting's work was what worried Tangning the most. However, Excalibur Q did not give Tangning time to dwell on this thought. After signing their contract, that very afternoon, they jumped straight into shooting their commercial. As she was working with Western models, Tangning was lacking in physical strength in comparison; especially since her stomach was still unwell. After 6 hours of continuous work, Tangning was obviously struggling to keep up. Long Jie felt a little anxious. There were a few times she requested the photographer for a short break, but he either ignored her or told her everyone was currently working hard and Tangning wasn't the only one that was tired. Being in a foreign land, when it came to matters like this, Long Jie felt powerless as a mere assistant. However, from beginning to end, Tangning endured through one take after another. Because of mistakes made by other models she had to film some scenes multiple times. "Tangning, are you OK?" Long Jie asked in between takes as she handed her some warm water. Tangning placed her hand on her own cheek and nodded, "I should be able to hold on." "This was clearly not in the contract...do these Western models have a death wish?" just as Long Jie's angered words left her mouth a loud 'BANG' echoed through the set. A relatively skinny model had fainted, "Did she just faint?" "Isn't this a common sight?" Tangning handed her cup back to Long Jie with an unfazed expression. "Does this mean you can get some rest now?" "Come on, come on, back to work..." the photography staff called. Long Jie lowered her head to look at Tangning's feet; 7-8 hours of wearing heels, how torturous. "What's wrong? I've done things like this in the past. Just because Mo Ting is now my manager, does that mean I am more precious than before?" Tangning looked amusingly at Long Jie. In the past, she had experienced shoots that were even more demanding and in more of a rush than this, how did this compare? "But it's been 8 hours!" "Don't worry, I can handle it." After speaking, Tangning was just about to have her makeup retouched, when suddenly she felt a strong tug on her arm. So was Long Jie. Actually, everyone present was in shock; an extremely distinguished man had appeared on the photography set. The set filled with whispers; some people were surprised while some whistled at his appearance, thinking he was also a model. In fact, they thought he was a top-tier model. However, Mo Ting simply pulled Tangning over and gestured her to sit on the side. Tangning struggled a little as she looked into Mo Ting's black diamond-like eyes. It only took a few seconds before she gave up and obediently sat on the chair, leaving everything for this man to handle. As anticipated, Mo Ting simply walked over to the photographer and said, "It has been stated in Article 3.2 and 6.4 of the contract that Tangning's work hours are from 8am until 6pm. If you need to work beyond these hours, it should not exceed 2 hours. Did you want to breach the contract?" So, the photographer replied, "Everyone is working hard towards finishing this shoot. Did you expect everyone to wait for Tangning?" "Just because they are willing to be oppressed by you, that is their problem. Our Tangning is different. We will work according to the contract." After speaking, Mo Ting turned around and approached Tangning as everyone gasped, "Can you still walk?" Tangning looked down at her heels. Just as she was about to respond, Mo Ting wrapped his arm around her waist and carried her horizontally. "Hey, all this time we've been speaking, you haven't told us who you are," the photographer chased after them. He had only been told that Tangning had brought along an assistant and a few bodyguards. It goes without saying, Long Jie was once again amazed by Mo Ting. During the contract signing, Fang Yu was the one that had read through the contract. Yet, according to Boss' confidence when he recalled the terms, it flowed out of his mouth smoothly like he had completely memorized it. Tangning leaned into Mo Ting's embrace as he placed her into the car. Seeing the angry expression on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to be my manager?" "What other choice do I have, Miss Tang?" Mo Ting asked as he started driving. Normally he would call her 'Mrs. Mo'. It seemed, he really made a clear distinction between work and personal life. His manager aura could immediately be felt. "Now that work is over, can Manager Mo finish up?" Mo Ting turned his head to look at Tangning as he let out a sigh. He couldn't bear to blame her for what had happened. Towards the person he loved, even if he was angry, he wouldn't be able to say any harsh words. Not long after, they returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the hotel suite, Mo Ting directly pressed Tangning on the bed and forced a kiss on her lips. After savoring her for a while, he finally moved away and knelt beside the bed to help her remove her shoes. Not long after, Tangning sat up from the bed and approached Mo Ting from behind to wrap her arms around his neck as her body pressed against his... "I have not seen your feet in a good state before..." "You knew the photographer was being oppressive, why did you continue to work?" Hearing his complaints, Tangning suddenly laughed, "While I was working, everything was bad. My feet hurt, my stomach hurt and my head was dizzy." "But, after seeing you...everything's better." Mo Ting felt helpless, he couldn't continue to be angry at her. With his back still facing her, he stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, "I won't allow anyone to bully you ever again." With his back to her, he gently shook his head a few times, "How could you complain that I'm talking too much...when have you ever seen me care so much about another person?" "Don't think about it too much...let's go have a bath." Mo Ting stopped talking; he knew Tangning was tired. So after having a bath together, he carried her out and placed her on the bed, "I'm staying opposite, if you need anything, give me a call." Tangning was immediately wide-awake, "You're not sleeping with me?" "During your working period, let's stick to the contract," Mo Ting tucked her into bed and turned off the lights.

The Yan Clan army’s morale had reached a low due to their inability to seize control of the northern hill. When they heard the shouts of “enemy attack,” they were overwhelmed and each of them firmly gripped the weapons in their hands. They awaited order and prepared for a counterattack. At the same time, battle had already begun between the western troops and the enemy.\nAs of now, the Yan Clan could no longer bother with attacking the northern hill.Yan Baishou, Xiaohou An, and the Steel Sword Martial Saint all gazed westward as a soldier carrying a small flag hurried over.\n“Who are the attackers?” Yah Baishou’s expression changed only slightly as he queried the soldier.\n“Reporting to Patriarch: It is the army of Duan Clan.” The reporting soldier hastened to add, “The Second General currently has the right flank of the army defending against the Duan Clan’s attacks.”\nYan Baishou responded with a nod.\n“Let’s go.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint said in a low voice, “Let’s check on the front ranks.”\nImmediately, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, Yan Baishou, and Xiahou An speeded towards the right flank. As they approached the vanguard, they could hear the sounds of clashes coming from the front. After a short while, when Yan Baishou and the others arrived in the midst of the army’s right flank, they could only hear mournful cries. “Run! Quick flee!”\nTheir banner had fallen and the troops were running about like headless chickens. Facing the attacks of the the Duan Clan’s elite troops had driven the army hysteric, causing their utter defeat.\nThousands of people had fought each other, but in fact it was a battle of morale.\nOnce the frontline broke, the body of the army collapsed. Even if the reserves were called in, their formations would be broken by the fleeing forward troops. It was like the proverb: “troops in defeat are like a landslide.” With the frontline in disarray, it would be extremely difficult to rectify the situation.\n“Oh no.” Yan Baishou’s facial expression changed drastically.\n“Why is the Duan Clan so powerful? How did their army defeat the right flank so quickly?” The Steel Sword Martial Saint was slightly surprised.\n“Brother Xiahou, it all depends on you now,” Yan Baishou said and hastily shouted, “Wu Jian, lead your unit and obstruct them for fifteen minutes…while the others break the siege on the northern side!”\nThe defeated army was in shambles and now Yan Baishou was doing his best to minimize their losses.\nAn hour later. With the Xiahou Clan’s aid, the Yan Clan army managed to defend against the Duan Clan’s offensive. The Yan Clan troops could finally take a breath after saving most of their troops. Still…bloodied remains could be seen throughout the forest. This one offensive had caused a loss of over ten thousand troops!\n“Duan Shijin, if I don’t take vengeance for this, I avow to no longer live as a human being!” Yan Baishou, who appeared begrimed, looked toward the west and gnashed his teeth angrily.\nThe Yan CLan had lost almost ten thousand members within an hour. Even Baishou’s biological brother, Yan Bailie, had been trampled to death by the routed troop! The death of his brother and shellshock enraged Yan Baishou.\n“Why is the army of Duan Clan so powerful?” Xiahou An’s facial expression appeared ghastly as he said, “The Xiahou Clan was totally prepared. . We observed well and found a chance to reinforce, but we were still forced to retreat a distance one Li and suffered thousands of casualties.”\n“Armor!”\nThe Steel Sword Martial Saint said in a deep tone, “The elite troops of the Duan Clan were leading the army and all the soldiers of the elite troops wore top-notch armor. Each of these sets of armor was worth several thousand silver taels. Common swords and blades cannot even scratch such armor. WIth over a thousand elite soldiers equipped in such armor leading the attack, it wouldn’t be odd to not be able to defend against such a force.\n“How did the Duan Clan acquire such fine armor?” Xiahou An narrowed his eye and said, there are only a few sets of such armor on the continent. Even with funds, it wouldn’d be easy to buy over a thousand such.”\nBecause there were over a hundred clans vying for hegemony over the continent, the Duanmu Continent’s people valued the accoutrements of war greatly.\nNot to mention such top-notch armor as this, even ordinary and inferior armor had to be strictly controlled. A full suit of such armor cost several thousand silver taels. It would require over one million silver taels to purchase that amount of armor… That at least was the normal price, but it was impossible for an ordinary clan to purchase such a huge quantity of armor.\n“It is possible that the Duan Clan has kept its strength well hidden. Maybe it kept such armor in secret as well, Yan Baishou said coldly.\nYan Baishou and Xiahou An immediately gasped. “If so, then that’s troublesome.” Xiahou An’s facial expression changed.\n“Don’t worry now.”\nThe Steel Sword Martial Saint said calmly, “Previously, we wanted to press on without letup and seize control of the northern hill. If that was our goal, we have achieved half. However, since we didn’t seize control of the northern hill, there’s no rush to attack again. As of now, the Tantai Clan, Dong Clan, and the Fu Clan have done nothing. With so many troops dispatched, it is impossible for them to just sit by and watch.”\nYan Baishou and Xiahou An nodded.\n“Now, we shall watch the changes in silence.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint gazed at the northern hill. At this moment, the army of the Duan Clan occupied the bottom of the northern hill. “Moreover, Mister Teng is currently at the peak of the northern hill, making it impossible for the army of the Duan Clan to take the northern hill.”\n“Yes. It is impossible.”\nAs they thought of the skills that Teng Qingshan had displayed, Yan Baishou and Xiahou An felt even more at ease.\n“Just let this Duan Clan experience the strength of that Teng Qingshan.” Yan Baishou thought with evil intentions.\nOn the summit of the northern hill:\nTeng Qingshan was still silently sitting cross legged. The bloody battle waged at the foot of the hill bothered him not at all.\n“The Duan Clan has some skills. It actually forced the Xiahou Clan and Yan Clan back,” Teng Qingshan noted as he looked down toward the army below.\nThe army below was in perfect order. It was a neat formation of over ten thousand soldiers and all the soldiers were looking up towards the peak of the hill. Being stared at by so many soldiers would normally cause one to feel great pressure, yet Teng Qingshan looked down with a grin, as though he was a god staring at numerous ordinary human beings.\n“Mister Teng!” A voice rang loud and clear from the middle of the army. “I am Duan Shijin. I have heard of Mister’s name for a long time. I was fortunate enough to witness the duel between Mister and the Steel Sword Martial Saint. Mister is truly powerful, but the Duan Clan’s army numbers ten thousand. We do not wish to antagonize Mister, so Mister, please give us the northern hill…The Duan Clan will definitely repay you greatly later on.”\nTeng Qingshan shook his head and smiled.\n“Duan Shijin, please leave as soon as possible.” Teng Qingshan’s clear voice resounded throughout forest.\n“Mister Teng…” Duan Shijin still wanted to try persuasion.\n“Leave now.” Teng Qingshan said indifferently.\nBecause Duan Shijin had never seen Teng Qingshan’s capabilities, he did not think that Teng Qingshan alone could stop an army of over ten thousand from taking the hill. Therefore, he immediately commanded over a thousand soldiers to scatter rapidly toward the bottom of the hill, and most of them started climbing together at once. However, when the soldiers had struggled and climbed only half of the hill:\nWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\nNumerous fiery rocks pierced through the air and flew towards the climbing soldiers, causing the walls of the northern hill to crash and explode. A huge pile of broken rocks tumbled down and smashed into the climbing soldiers, causing them to fall from a high altitude. They crashed onto the rock below and they died on the spot as their brains burst from their skulls.. There were a few lucky ones who managed to survive however.\nDuring the first wave attack, the Duan Clan lost several hundred men.\nPainful cries and moans could be heard.\nWhen the soldiers of Duan Clan saw this scene, their faces paled. They were all afraid…afraid of being ordered to climb the hill.\n“This..this…” Duan Shijin was protected by many soldiers. He had always been a very elegant and refined middle-aged man. At this moment, his face appeared unpleasant.\n“Brother Duan.” A deep-sounding voice rang from afar.\nWearing black armor and a helmet, a man was seen walking over. His face was covered by the helmet’s iron visor, thus his visage could barely be made out.\nDuan Shijin looked back and hastily went over. “Give up.” The armored man approached Duan Shijin and whispered many things. In the beginning, Duan Shijin wouldn’t agree, but after a while, he finally concurred. ……\n“Eh?” Teng Qinghsan looked down and saw that the soldiers had begun to retreat. They began carrying the corpses of their fellow soldiers and began to rest. Smoke billowed into the sky as the soldiers began cooking.\n“Giving up so quickly.” Teng Qingshan smiled and said, “It’s good to concede victory. I will under no circumstances allow any clan to seize complete control over this northern hill.. It would be great if the Tantai,Wu, and Dong Clans brought their armies closer to the canyon. Then all of them would impede each other…”\nEverything was just as Teng Qingshan had planned. None of the clans dared to surround the canyon. If they did, they would be attacked by the other clans.\nEach clan could only occupy a certain region around the canyon.\nThe Xiahou Clan, Yan Clan, Duan Clan, Dong Clan, Yantai Clan, Wu Clan, as well as the Fu Clan that arrived on the morning of the second day, were very close to the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon. The seven clans restricted each other.It was obvious, however, that the Yan and Xiahou Clans’ alliance possessed the most power. .\nIn a big tent on the Fu Clan’s military campground.\nTeng Qingshan, Li Jun, Teng Shou, Yang Dong, Blue Luan, and the Whole Gale Eagle were inside the tent.\n“Mister had worked hard this time. If it weren’t for Mister, the Xiahou Clan and Yan Clan would have already occupied the northern hill. With the strength of two clans they would have the advantage of terrain and have sealed the canyon. If that were to happen…it would require a five to six times number advantage to make a successful offensive,” Fu Dao said with a smile.\nTeng Qingshan shook his head and replied, “Fu Dao, Fu Clan has too little manpower. It would be extremely difficult to seize control of this deposit with your current forces.”\nEven though Teng Qingshan possessed exceptional abilities, he was alone.\n“Yes.” Fu Dao replied anxiously, “Now the seven clans have fallen into a stalemate. The Fu Clan was only able to match the other six clans due to Mister’s help! WIth mister’s ability is would be possible to take the northern hill. However, the Fu Clan…””\nFu Dai himself knew well the weakness of his clan.\n“Fu Dao, the other clans outside are probably about to start forming an alliance, right?” Teng Qingshan asked.\n“Yes.”\nFu Dao nodded and replied, “This time, the Wu Clan suffered greatly because they were attacked from both sides by the Yan Clan and Xiahou Clan. I reckon that Tantai Clan, Dong Clan, and the other clans know how things stand. An alliance must be formed. It would be extremely difficult for a single clan to seize the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit.”\n“Mister Teng.” A shout sounded outside the pavilion.\n“Come in.” Teng Qingshan responded.\nThe one who entered was the Patriarch of Fu Clan, Fu Yunzhan. Fu Yunzhan appeared exhilarated as he looked towards Fu Dao and said, “Uncle, a messenger of Duan Clan is outside.”\n“Duan Clan?” Fu Dao couldn’t help but show a sense of joy.\n“However, they said they wish to meet Mister Teng.” Fu Yunzhan stared at Teng Qingshan." } ]
第四十四章 “敌袭！” “敌袭！” 响亮尖锐的声音从西方传来，严家军队因为无法占领北矮山，加上死伤不少，士气正低落，听到“敌袭”喊声更是大惊，一个个连握紧手中兵器听从调遣，准备迎敌。 而西方前方军队已经和敌军厮杀。 此刻已经顾不得再去攻北矮山了，严白狩、夏侯安、铁剑武圣都看向西方，一个身后背负着小旗的军士迅疾冲过来。 “是哪一方的？” 严白狩脸色微变。 “禀家主，是段家的军队。” 这赶来的军士连禀道，“二将军正率领右翼大军，抵挡段家军队进攻。” 严白狩微微点头。 “走。” 铁剑武圣沉声道。 “到前面看看去。” 当即，铁剑武圣、严白狩、夏侯安三人一道朝右翼赶去，随着前进，他们也听到前方传来的喊杀声，没过多久，正当严白狩等人已经抵达右翼军中的时候，只听到凄厉喊声：“逃啊！ 快逃啊！” 军旗已然倒下好似无头苍蝇般的军士们，面对段家士气如虹的精锐军队攻击，开始疯狂溃败！ 成千上万的人厮杀，其实打的就是士气！ 一旦前面溃败，形成溃败潮……就算后面的军士想顶上去，也会被前方逃跑的溃兵冲溃掉阵势，所谓兵败如山倒，前方形成溃败，后面想要扭转局势将非常的难。 “不好。” 严白狩脸色大变。 “段家怎么这么厉害，这么快就击溃了右翼军？” 铁剑武圣则是有些吃惊。 严白狩说完后，连忙高声嘶喊，“武建，你率你部给我挡住他们一盏茶功夫……其他人朝北边突围！” 溃军一片乱糟糟，严白狩现在是拼命想要减少损失。 半个时辰之后，在夏侯家军队的帮忙之下，迎头顶住段家攻击后，严家总算喘息一口气，保存住绝大多数人马，即使如此……也令逃亡的山林间中随处可见一具具染血的尸体，仅仅一次猛烈攻击，就令严家损失近万人！ “段石缙，此仇不报，我誓不为人！ 刚才短短半个时辰，损失近万人，甚至于连他的亲兄第严白狩都被溃军给活活践踏至死！ 亲兄弟的死，加上突兀的打击，令严白狩怒火冲天。 夏侯家也是脸色难看，“我夏侯家早有准备，看准时机顶上去，竟然也被打的后退一里地，死伤数千人。” “铠甲！” 铁剑武圣沉声道，“段家的军队领头的精锐部分，所穿铠甲，都是上等铠甲，都是价值数千两银子一套的好铠甲，一般刀剑难伤，上千精锐军士穿着这等铠甲，为军队领头尖刀，顶不住也不奇怪。” “他们段家怎么有这么好的铠甲？” 夏侯安眯起那只独眼，“这上等铠甲，一两件就罢了，过千件，就是有钱也不能买到。” 端木大6上百族争霸，对于战争物质看得非常重。 普通劣质铠甲大批买卖都要受到管制，更别说这等上等铠甲了。 数千两白银一套，需要数百万两银子……银子是小，这么多铠甲，一般家族根本买不到。 “可能这段家隐藏的深，藏有此等铠甲。” 严白狩冷声道。 虽然闲散在天下各处，可如果集结起来，那么，这将是一个非常可怕的数字。 “现在别急。” “我们之前，想一鼓作气拿下北矮山，那么就算成功大半了。 不过既然没拿下北矮山，我们就不急着进攻，毕竟……到现在，澹台家族、董家还有那傅家，一点动静还没有。 他们调遣那么多军队，不可能只是来看戏。” 严白狩和夏侯安点头。 “现在，我们静观其变。” 铁剑武圣遥看北矮山方向，此刻北矮山山脚下依然被段家军队占领，“更何况，滕先生正在北矮山山巅，段家军队想攻下也不可能。” “嗯，是不可能。” 一想到滕青山之前展露的手段，严白狩和夏侯安更加放心。 “也让这段家，尝尝那滕青山手段吧。” 北矮山山巅。 滕青山依旧静静盘膝坐着，之前下方生地一场血腥厮杀，根本没有影响到滕青山。 “这段家有点手段，竟然令夏侯家族和严家，都被迫后退。” 滕青山遥看下方军队。 下方军队秩序井然，有序地排列开，千万名军士抬头遥看山顶，被这么多军士齐刷刷盯着，这压力也是极大。 可是滕青山却淡笑着俯瞰下方，就好像是个神灵，在看着无数普通人类。 清朗却又响亮的声音，从车队当中穿了过来，“在下段石瑨，就问先生大名，前几先生和铁剑武圣一战，也得幸一观，先生大才，不过，我段家也有十万大军，不想和先生为敌，还请先生让出这北矮山……时候，我段家定有重谢。” 腾青山摇头一笑。 “段石缙，还请离去。” 腾青山朗朗声音，回荡在山林。 “滕先生……”这段石缙还想劝说。 “离去。” 腾青山又冷然道。 之前并没有看到腾青山手段的段石缙，根本不认为，一个人真的能挡住千军万马占领山头，当即一声令下，近千名军事迅疾地冲到北矮山山脚下各处，而后几乎同时开始攀爬，当这些军事艰难的攀爬到一般的时候。 咻！ 咻！ 一枚枚燃烧着火焰的石子破空而去，令北矮山山壁一处处爆裂开，大量碎裂石头滚滚落下，砸的不少攀爬中的军事从高处摔下，砸在下方山石上，脑袋崩裂当场惨死。 也有幸运点，保住小命的。 仅仅一波攻击，令段家损失数百人。 一片痛苦呻吟声，参加省。 段家观看到这一幕的军士们不由脸色白，他们都害怕……被命令去攀爬登山。 “这，这……”处于众多军士保护中的段石缙，是一个很文雅的中年男子，此刻他脸色确是不太好看。 “段兄。” 一道低沉的声音传来。 一名穿着黝黑盔甲，头上也带着头盔的男子走了过来，面容被盔甲的钢丝面罩所阻挡，根本看不清其面容。 “放弃吧。” 盔甲男子上前和段石缙低声说了不少话，一开始段石缙不太同意，可片刻后，段石缙终于同意。 “咦？” 滕青山看着下方的军士们后退，而后开始搬弄死伤军士身体，同时坐下歇息。 甚至于都有袅袅炊烟升起，显然已经开始造饭了。 “这么快就放弃了。” 滕青山微微一笑，“放弃也好，不管怎样，这北矮山，绝对不能让某个大家族完全占领。 最好，等澹台家、吴家、董家等，也将军队靠近过来，围拢这峡谷。 一切如滕青山计划的一样，没有一个家族，胆敢将峡谷重重包围，如果真那样做，将会受到其他所有家族攻击。 每一个家族，都占领峡谷周围部分区域。 夏侯家、严家、段家、董家、澹台家、吴家，包括在第二天清晨才到的傅家，哥哥离火鎏铁峡谷都很近，七万人马相互制约。 而在其中……显然相互结盟的严家和夏侯家，最是势大。 傅家军营某一大帐内。 滕青山、李珺、滕兽、杨冬，包括青鸾、狂风鹰都在其中。 傅刀进入大帐内。 “先生这次辛苦了，若不是先生，那夏侯家族和严家，恐怕已经占领北矮山，以他们两家实力，占领地利。 同时将峡谷封住，到时候……想要攻下，除非有五六倍军力才可。” 傅刀笑道。 滕青山摇头：“傅刀，你傅家人手是在太少，想要占得这矿脉，难啊。” 就算滕青山实力绝，可毕竟才一个人。 “是啊。” 傅刀也有些焦急，“现在，七方僵持，我们傅家能和其他六方并列，还是因为有先生在！ 以先生实力，完全能占得北矮山。 傅刀也明白自身弱势。 “傅刀，现在外面其他家族，估计也要开始结盟了吧。” 滕青山询问道。 傅刀点头，“这次吴家被严家，夏侯家前后攻击，吃了大亏。 可惜，现如今，还没人找我傅家来结盟。” “腾先生。” 大帐内传来喊声。 “进来。” 滕青山开口。 进来的正是傅家家主‘傅云展’，傅云展一脸喜色，看向傅刀道“叔，外面来了段家的使者。” “段家？” 傅刀不由露出一丝喜色。 “不过，他们说要见腾先生”。 傅云展看向滕青山。
Chapter 44 Stalemate “Enemy attack!” “Enemy attack!” An ear-piercing yell sounded from the west. The Yan Clan army’s morale had reached a low due to their inability to seize control of the northern hill. When they heard the shouts of “enemy attack,” they were overwhelmed and each of them firmly gripped the weapons in their hands. They awaited order and prepared for a counterattack. At the same time, battle had already begun between the western troops and the enemy. As of now, the Yan Clan could no longer bother with attacking the northern hill.Yan Baishou, Xiaohou An, and the Steel Sword Martial Saint all gazed westward as a soldier carrying a small flag hurried over. “Who are the attackers?” Yah Baishou’s expression changed only slightly as he queried the soldier. “Reporting to Patriarch: It is the army of Duan Clan.” The reporting soldier hastened to add, “The Second General currently has the right flank of the army defending against the Duan Clan’s attacks.” Yan Baishou responded with a nod. “Let’s go.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint said in a low voice, “Let’s check on the front ranks.” Immediately, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, Yan Baishou, and Xiahou An speeded towards the right flank. As they approached the vanguard, they could hear the sounds of clashes coming from the front. After a short while, when Yan Baishou and the others arrived in the midst of the army’s right flank, they could only hear mournful cries. “Run! Quick flee!” Their banner had fallen and the troops were running about like headless chickens. Facing the attacks of the the Duan Clan’s elite troops had driven the army hysteric, causing their utter defeat. Thousands of people had fought each other, but in fact it was a battle of morale. Once the frontline broke, the body of the army collapsed. Even if the reserves were called in, their formations would be broken by the fleeing forward troops. It was like the proverb: “troops in defeat are like a landslide.” With the frontline in disarray, it would be extremely difficult to rectify the situation. “Oh no.” Yan Baishou’s facial expression changed drastically. “Why is the Duan Clan so powerful? How did their army defeat the right flank so quickly?” The Steel Sword Martial Saint was slightly surprised. “Brother Xiahou, it all depends on you now,” Yan Baishou said and hastily shouted, “Wu Jian, lead your unit and obstruct them for fifteen minutes…while the others break the siege on the northern side!” The defeated army was in shambles and now Yan Baishou was doing his best to minimize their losses. An hour later. With the Xiahou Clan’s aid, the Yan Clan army managed to defend against the Duan Clan’s offensive. The Yan Clan troops could finally take a breath after saving most of their troops. Still…bloodied remains could be seen throughout the forest. This one offensive had caused a loss of over ten thousand troops! “Duan Shijin, if I don’t take vengeance for this, I avow to no longer live as a human being!” Yan Baishou, who appeared begrimed, looked toward the west and gnashed his teeth angrily. The Yan CLan had lost almost ten thousand members within an hour. Even Baishou’s biological brother, Yan Bailie, had been trampled to death by the routed troop! The death of his brother and shellshock enraged Yan Baishou. “Why is the army of Duan Clan so powerful?” Xiahou An’s facial expression appeared ghastly as he said, “The Xiahou Clan was totally prepared. . We observed well and found a chance to reinforce, but we were still forced to retreat a distance one Li and suffered thousands of casualties.” “Armor!” The Steel Sword Martial Saint said in a deep tone, “The elite troops of the Duan Clan were leading the army and all the soldiers of the elite troops wore top-notch armor. Each of these sets of armor was worth several thousand silver taels. Common swords and blades cannot even scratch such armor. WIth over a thousand elite soldiers equipped in such armor leading the attack, it wouldn’t be odd to not be able to defend against such a force. “How did the Duan Clan acquire such fine armor?” Xiahou An narrowed his eye and said, there are only a few sets of such armor on the continent. Even with funds, it wouldn’d be easy to buy over a thousand such.” Because there were over a hundred clans vying for hegemony over the continent, the Duanmu Continent’s people valued the accoutrements of war greatly. Not to mention such top-notch armor as this, even ordinary and inferior armor had to be strictly controlled. A full suit of such armor cost several thousand silver taels. It would require over one million silver taels to purchase that amount of armor… That at least was the normal price, but it was impossible for an ordinary clan to purchase such a huge quantity of armor. “It is possible that the Duan Clan has kept its strength well hidden. Maybe it kept such armor in secret as well, Yan Baishou said coldly. Yan Baishou and Xiahou An immediately gasped. “If so, then that’s troublesome.” Xiahou An’s facial expression changed. “Don’t worry now.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint said calmly, “Previously, we wanted to press on without letup and seize control of the northern hill. If that was our goal, we have achieved half. However, since we didn’t seize control of the northern hill, there’s no rush to attack again. As of now, the Tantai Clan, Dong Clan, and the Fu Clan have done nothing. With so many troops dispatched, it is impossible for them to just sit by and watch.” Yan Baishou and Xiahou An nodded. “Now, we shall watch the changes in silence.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint gazed at the northern hill. At this moment, the army of the Duan Clan occupied the bottom of the northern hill. “Moreover, Mister Teng is currently at the peak of the northern hill, making it impossible for the army of the Duan Clan to take the northern hill.” “Yes. It is impossible.” As they thought of the skills that Teng Qingshan had displayed, Yan Baishou and Xiahou An felt even more at ease. “Just let this Duan Clan experience the strength of that Teng Qingshan.” Yan Baishou thought with evil intentions. On the summit of the northern hill: Teng Qingshan was still silently sitting cross legged. The bloody battle waged at the foot of the hill bothered him not at all. “The Duan Clan has some skills. It actually forced the Xiahou Clan and Yan Clan back,” Teng Qingshan noted as he looked down toward the army below. The army below was in perfect order. It was a neat formation of over ten thousand soldiers and all the soldiers were looking up towards the peak of the hill. Being stared at by so many soldiers would normally cause one to feel great pressure, yet Teng Qingshan looked down with a grin, as though he was a god staring at numerous ordinary human beings. “Mister Teng!” A voice rang loud and clear from the middle of the army. “I am Duan Shijin. I have heard of Mister’s name for a long time. I was fortunate enough to witness the duel between Mister and the Steel Sword Martial Saint. Mister is truly powerful, but the Duan Clan’s army numbers ten thousand. We do not wish to antagonize Mister, so Mister, please give us the northern hill…The Duan Clan will definitely repay you greatly later on.” Teng Qingshan shook his head and smiled. “Duan Shijin, please leave as soon as possible.” Teng Qingshan’s clear voice resounded throughout forest. “Mister Teng…” Duan Shijin still wanted to try persuasion. “Leave now.” Teng Qingshan said indifferently. Because Duan Shijin had never seen Teng Qingshan’s capabilities, he did not think that Teng Qingshan alone could stop an army of over ten thousand from taking the hill. Therefore, he immediately commanded over a thousand soldiers to scatter rapidly toward the bottom of the hill, and most of them started climbing together at once. However, when the soldiers had struggled and climbed only half of the hill: Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Numerous fiery rocks pierced through the air and flew towards the climbing soldiers, causing the walls of the northern hill to crash and explode. A huge pile of broken rocks tumbled down and smashed into the climbing soldiers, causing them to fall from a high altitude. They crashed onto the rock below and they died on the spot as their brains burst from their skulls.. There were a few lucky ones who managed to survive however. During the first wave attack, the Duan Clan lost several hundred men. Painful cries and moans could be heard. When the soldiers of Duan Clan saw this scene, their faces paled. They were all afraid…afraid of being ordered to climb the hill. “This..this…” Duan Shijin was protected by many soldiers. He had always been a very elegant and refined middle-aged man. At this moment, his face appeared unpleasant. “Brother Duan.” A deep-sounding voice rang from afar. Wearing black armor and a helmet, a man was seen walking over. His face was covered by the helmet’s iron visor, thus his visage could barely be made out. Duan Shijin looked back and hastily went over. “Give up.” The armored man approached Duan Shijin and whispered many things. In the beginning, Duan Shijin wouldn’t agree, but after a while, he finally concurred. …… “Eh?” Teng Qinghsan looked down and saw that the soldiers had begun to retreat. They began carrying the corpses of their fellow soldiers and began to rest. Smoke billowed into the sky as the soldiers began cooking. “Giving up so quickly.” Teng Qingshan smiled and said, “It’s good to concede victory. I will under no circumstances allow any clan to seize complete control over this northern hill.. It would be great if the Tantai,Wu, and Dong Clans brought their armies closer to the canyon. Then all of them would impede each other…” Everything was just as Teng Qingshan had planned. None of the clans dared to surround the canyon. If they did, they would be attacked by the other clans. Each clan could only occupy a certain region around the canyon. The Xiahou Clan, Yan Clan, Duan Clan, Dong Clan, Yantai Clan, Wu Clan, as well as the Fu Clan that arrived on the morning of the second day, were very close to the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon. The seven clans restricted each other.It was obvious, however, that the Yan and Xiahou Clans’ alliance possessed the most power. . In a big tent on the Fu Clan’s military campground. Teng Qingshan, Li Jun, Teng Shou, Yang Dong, Blue Luan, and the Whole Gale Eagle were inside the tent. “Mister had worked hard this time. If it weren’t for Mister, the Xiahou Clan and Yan Clan would have already occupied the northern hill. With the strength of two clans they would have the advantage of terrain and have sealed the canyon. If that were to happen…it would require a five to six times number advantage to make a successful offensive,” Fu Dao said with a smile. Teng Qingshan shook his head and replied, “Fu Dao, Fu Clan has too little manpower. It would be extremely difficult to seize control of this deposit with your current forces.” Even though Teng Qingshan possessed exceptional abilities, he was alone. “Yes.” Fu Dao replied anxiously, “Now the seven clans have fallen into a stalemate. The Fu Clan was only able to match the other six clans due to Mister’s help! WIth mister’s ability is would be possible to take the northern hill. However, the Fu Clan…”” Fu Dai himself knew well the weakness of his clan. “Fu Dao, the other clans outside are probably about to start forming an alliance, right?” Teng Qingshan asked. “Yes.” Fu Dao nodded and replied, “This time, the Wu Clan suffered greatly because they were attacked from both sides by the Yan Clan and Xiahou Clan. I reckon that Tantai Clan, Dong Clan, and the other clans know how things stand. An alliance must be formed. It would be extremely difficult for a single clan to seize the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit.” “Mister Teng.” A shout sounded outside the pavilion. “Come in.” Teng Qingshan responded. The one who entered was the Patriarch of Fu Clan, Fu Yunzhan. Fu Yunzhan appeared exhilarated as he looked towards Fu Dao and said, “Uncle, a messenger of Duan Clan is outside.” “Duan Clan?” Fu Dao couldn’t help but show a sense of joy. “However, they said they wish to meet Mister Teng.” Fu Yunzhan stared at Teng Qingshan.

With your status, as long as you say the word, the Rising Sky Mansion wouldn’t dare to go against you.”\nAfter learning that Duan Ling Tian was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Gu Li was baffled by a lot of things. Duan Ling Tian had told him a lot of things previously.\nIn his opinion, with Duan Ling Tian’s status, he merely needed to say the word, and the Rising Sky Mansion would not dare to go against it at all!\nThe Rising Sky Mansion did not even dare to offend the Young Mansion Masters from general quasi third-rate forces, let alone a top quasi third-rate force like the Azure Cloud Mansion!\n“Moreover, since you’re the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why would you join the Mystical Sky Mansion? You have better cultivation resources back at the Azure Cloud Mansion!” Gu Li felt puzzled.\n“Senior Brother Gu Li, it’s normal for you to have all these questions. I have to tell you that I didn’t know the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is my father before today. It’s only natural for me not to know that I’m the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Due to these circumstances, I, naturally, had to do everything on my own.” Duan Ling Tian sighed.\n“How’s that possible?!” Gu Li was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. When he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s reaction to the name of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was lying.\n“Junior Brother Ling Tian, your father has never mentioned that he’s the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion? A few years ago, he went to the Mortal Continent and brought quite many family members back to the Azure Cloud Mansion, why didn’t he bring you along?” Gu Li was puzzled.\n“My father’s intention of leaving me on the Mortal Continent was to train me… Nonetheless, he did leave clues behind that would lead me to the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Azure Cloud Mansion once I’m strong enough to stand at the peak of the Mortal Continent. Unfortunately, due to my own fault, I damaged the clues he left me.” Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh when he thought about the damaged voice transmission jade slips inside the Exquisite Jade Box.\nWhat a twist of fate!\nGu Li finally understood everything after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation. “I see… Nevertheless, it’s a fortunate twist of events. If Junior Brother Ling Tian had gone to the Azure Cloud Mansion as soon as you arrived at the Dao Martial Saint Land, we might not have the chance to meet.”\n“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded, feeling pensive.\n“Junior Brother Ling Tian, since you know for certain Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, is your father, are you planning to find him? ” Gu Li asked.\n“Of course!” Duan Ling Tian nodded decisively. “My biggest wish is to reunite with my family before I leave for the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Now that I have information about them, I’ll naturally look for them!”\nAfter finding out that his father was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian wished more than anything that he could grow a pair of wings so he could fly to the Azure Cloud Mansion as fast as he could. Not only were his parents there, but his fiancée and child were also there!\n“Counting the days… My child with Little Fei’er should be a few years old now?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes inadvertently turned gentle when he thought about Li Fei and their child.\nWhen Gu Li saw Duan Ling Tian standing still with a smile on his face, he knew Duan Ling Tian was thinking about the home that he had been away from for a long time. Gu Li did not bother him since he felt it would be a crime to do so.\nJust as Duan Ling Tian had predicted, not long after the few Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan left, news regarding Gu Li’s breakthrough to the Divine Saint Stage spread in the Mystical Sky Mansion and caused an uproar.\nThe gloomy atmosphere due to the appearance of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique had also disappeared.\n“Senior Brother Gu Li has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage?”\n“He’s worthy of being the son of Lord Guardian. Like father, like son!”\n“I’m afraid even the Lord Mansion Master wasn’t as young as Senior Brother Gu Li when he broke through to the Divine Saint Stage.”\n“If Senior Brother Gu Li becomes the next Mansion Master of our Mystical Sky Mansion, our Mystical Sky Mansion will definitely have a chance in becoming as powerful as forces like the Azure Cloud Mansion and the Mountainshade Black Market! It’s a pity he had previously said he would be leaving to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land once he has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage.”\n“First, it was Ling Tian. Now it’s Gu Li. Both of them are powerhouses capable of leading the Mystical Sky Mansion to greater heights… Unfortunately, both of them are interested in going to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!”\nAs news of Gu Li’s breakthrough to the Divine Saint Stage spread further, all the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elders and disciples were both amazed and disheartened at the same time because they knew once Gu Li had broken through to the Divine Saint Stage, he would not stay for long in the Mystical Sky Mansion.\n“Gu Li has broken through again?” In the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Main Mansion, Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng had also heard the news.\nAt the same time, some of the comments saying that he was not as talented as Gu Li had also begun to circulate in the Mystical Sky Mansion.\nBoth he and Gu Li were the respective sons of the two Guardians of Mystical Sky Mansion. However, when he was at Gu Li’s age, he was merely a Mastery Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.\nThe worst thing one could do was to make a comparison. His innate talent was not too bad. However, compared to Gu Li, suddenly it seemed useless.\nThe most important thing was both their fathers were Guardians. He had truly embarrassed his father this time.\n“Father!” Zhao Deng was feeling frustrated by the comments circulating in the Mystical Sky Mansion when a familiar voice sounded. His expression changed immediately when he heard this voice. His previously gloomy expression brightened like the sun.\nThis was all because he recognized the owner of the voice. It was his son, Zhao Ji, who had gone missing for almost two years! He did not see his son at all since the Death Duel between Duan Ling Tian and Zhao Kun in the Heaven Palace’s Hall of Death. However, he was not worried since his son’s Soul Pearl was intact.\nWhen Zhao Ji entered, Zhao Deng intentionally put on an angry expression and rebuked him, “Humph! Where did you go for almost two years? I thought you’ve forgotten that you have a father.”\nHe seemed strict, but upon closer inspection, one could see the surprise in the depth of his eyes at his son’s return.\n“Father, I felt upset when I saw how strong Duan Ling Tian was. Therefore I left the Mystical Sky Mansion for a change of scenery… However, I did reap some benefits while I was out there,” Zhao Ji said with a smile.\n“Reap some benefits? Humph! Did you mix with the wrong crowd again?” Zhao Deng sneered as he maintained his angry expression.\n“Father, I didn’t meet anyone during this trip… However, I discovered a place in the eastern side of the Lower Province that seems to be a place left behind by a powerhouse who seemed to have surpassed the Quintessential Saint Stage!” Zhao Ji seemed excited when he spoke.\nA place left behind by a powerhouse who seemed to have surpassed the Quintessential Saint Stage?\nAfter hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Zhao Deng could not maintain his angry expression any longer. He asked in surprise, “Are you sure it’s a place left behind by a powerhouse who seemed to have surpassed the Quintessential Saint Stage?”\n“Yes.” Zhao Ji nodded and recited the script he had prepared in his mind, “According to the message left behind by the powerhouse, he was someone who had transcended the Quintessential Saint Stage. Moreover, the Dao Martial Saint Land had not even been divided into two when he was alive.”\nZhao Deng’s breath quickened when he heard Zhao Ji’s words.\nThe era before the Dao Martial Saint Land was divided into the Upper and Lower Province was the Prehistoric Era!\nRelics left behind by powerhouses from that era were known as Prehistoric Relics.\nIn the history of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were a lot of legends about Prehistoric Relics.\nAll those who had obtained Prehistoric Relics had eventually become top-rated powerhouses in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even after they had gone to the Upper Province, they still managed to thrive!\nAt this moment, he learned his son had encountered a Prehistoric Relic!\n“Usually, there will be an Inheritance from a powerhouse in the Prehistoric Relic he or she left behind… Is there any Inheritance in the Prehistoric Relic you found?” Zhao Deng asked as his breath quickened.\n“Yes!” Zhao Ji nodded as soon as Zhao Deng finished speaking. “The Inheritance inside the Prehistoric Relic belongs to me now.”\nZhao Deng’s eyes lit up. His son had obtained an Inheritance in a Prehistoric Relic?\nAt the same time, Zhao Ji sighed and continued saying, “Unfortunately, the Prehistoric Relic shattered after I obtained the Inheritance. Originally, I wanted to bring it back for you and grandfather to see if both of you can obtain the Inheritance as well. However, it’s impossible now.”\n“Silly boy!” Zhao Deng was, naturally, happy when he heard Zhao Ji’s filial words. “An Inheritance in a Prehistoric Relic usually can only be passed down to one person. This is extremely precious! Grandfather and I will only be happy for you knowing that you’ve obtained an Inheritance.”\n“What kind of Inheritance did you obtain?” Zhao Deng asked again.\nIn the Dao Martial Saint Land, apart from humans, Saint Beast could also cultivate the Devil Dao. Humans who cultivated the Devil Dao were known as Devil Cultivators while Saint Beasts that cultivated the Devil Dao were known as Devil Beasts.\nJust as Zhao Deng finished his sentence, a vast and chilly aura surged out of Zhao Ji’s body. The room’s temperature seemed to have dropped significantly as well.\n“D-divine Saint Stage?!” Zhao Deng who had sensed the aura was shocked. His expression was one of shock and amazement.\nAlthough he knew an Inheritance from a Prehistoric Devil Beast was not simple, he did not think it would be so miraculous! It made an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator skipped the Eminent Saint Stage and break through to the Divine Saint Stage in one go in just less than two years.\nEven in Zhao Deng’s wildest dreams, he would never be able to imagine that his son was lying to him!\nWhat Inheritance from a Prehistoric Devil Beast?

1822.第1822章 上古兽魔传承？ 只要你一句话，那冲霄府难不成还敢忤逆你？” 得知段凌天真的是青云府少府主以后，古力对此颇为不解。 这些事，也是段凌天之前跟他说过的。 在他看来，以段凌天的身份，只需要一句话，那冲霄府便不敢不听！ 一般准三流势力少主人的话，冲霄府都不敢不听，更别说是青云府这样的顶尖准三流势力！ “还有，既然你是青云府少府主，又何需到我们玄空府来？ 你在青云府可以得到更好的修炼资源！” 不过，你要知道，我在今日之前，都不知道青云府府主就是我的父亲！ 如此，我自然也不知道我还有‘青云府少府主’这一层身份……在这等情况下，我自然是凡事都要亲力亲为。” 段凌天感叹道。 听到段凌天的话，古力大吃一惊。 不过，想起刚才段凌天问青云府府主名讳时的反应，他又觉得段凌天说的应该是真的。 “凌天师弟，难道你父亲就没有跟你提起过他是青云府的府主？ 数年之前，他去凡人大陆接了不少亲人回青云府，怎么没带你一起回来？” 古力大为不解。 “我父亲留我在凡人大陆，本意是为了历练我……不过，他还是给我留下了‘线索’，让我在拥有站在凡人大陆巅峰的实力以后，到道武圣地去找他。 可惜的是，他留给我的线索，因为我自己的问题，出了一些变故。” 造化弄人！ 随着段凌天一番解释下来，古力恍然大悟，“原来是这样……不过，也幸好出了变故。 要是凌天师弟你刚到道武圣地，便去了青云府，你我或许还不一定有机会认识。” 段凌天点头，心里一阵唏嘘。 “凌天师弟，既然你已经确认青云府府主‘段如风’便是你的父亲，那你有什么打算，去找他吗？” 古力问道。 “当然！” 段凌天毫无迟疑的点头，“我去道武圣地‘上域’之前，最大的愿望，便是和家人团聚……如今既然有了家人的消息，我自然要去找他们！” 在知道自己的父亲就是青云府的府主以后，段凌天便恨不得给自己插上两根翅膀，以最快的速度飞到青云府。 那里，不只有他的父母，还有他的未婚妻，他的孩子！ “算算时间……我和小菲儿的孩子，应该也好几岁了吧？” 想到李菲，想到他和李菲的孩子，段凌天眼中不由自主的浮现出似水柔情。 眼看段凌天站在那里傻笑，古力知道他想起了离别许久的亲人，识趣的没去打扰他，仿佛在这一刻打扰段凌天就是在犯罪一般。 正如段凌天所言，那几个赵家一脉的玄空府弟子还没离开多久，有关古力突破到‘人圣境’的消息，便传遍了整个玄空府，令得玄空府上下一阵哗然。 原本因为《噬阴魔功》现世而有些压抑的气氛，也有所好转。 “古力师兄，竟然突破到‘人圣境’了？” “不愧是护法大人的儿子，虎父无犬子！” “哪怕是府主大人，当年突破到人圣境之时，好像也没有古力师兄现在这般年轻吧？” “要是古力师兄成为我们玄空府下一任府主，我们玄空府必然有机会成为像青云府、阴山黑市那般的强大势力！ 只可惜，他曾经说过，一旦突破到‘人圣境’，便会去道武圣地上域。” “先是一个凌天，然后是一个古力，都是有希望带领我们玄空府更上一层楼的存在……只可惜，他们都志在道武圣地上域！” 随着古力突破到‘人圣境’的消息传开，一众玄空府长老、弟子惊叹的同时，又有些惋惜。 因为他们知道，古力突破到‘人圣境’，也意味着他在玄空府待不了多久了。 “古力竟然突破了？” 玄空府主府，身为副府主的‘赵登’也收到了这个消息。 与此同时，外面一些说他不如古力的言论，也令得他的脸色阴沉了下来。 他和古力，分别是玄空府两大护法之子，但他在古力这个年纪的时候，却还只是大圣境后期武修。 凡事就怕对比，他的天赋已经算不错，但是跟古力一比，在旁人眼中，却又是不值一提！ 最重要的是，他们都有一个护法父亲。 总而言之，这一次，他算是给他父亲丢脸了。 “父亲！” 就在赵登因为外面传扬的言论而羞恼的时候，一道熟悉的声音传来，令得他的脸色瞬息大变。 先前还好像被阴云笼罩的一张脸，顷刻间仿佛阳光普照，阴云尽数散去。 只因为，他听出了声音的主人是谁，正是他那已经近两年杳无音讯的儿子，赵暨！ 当初，天殿生死堂凌天和赵昆生死一战后，他便再没见到他的儿子。 “哼！ 近两年的时间，你都去哪了？ 我还以为你已经忘了有我这个父亲。” 看起来严肃，但只要认真看，却又是可以发现，在赵登的目光深处，俨然夹杂着几分惊喜之色，对自己的儿子归来而表现出来的惊喜。 “父亲，我还不是当时见那段凌天的实力强，所以一时有些郁闷的离开了玄空府，出去转了一圈……这一圈转下来，倒也是收获不小。” 赵暨笑着说道。 哼！ 是不是又在外面认识了一群狐朋狗友？” 赵登继续板着一张脸，冷笑道。 “父亲，我这次出去，倒是没认识什么朋友……不过，我在东边一带，发现了一处疑似超越了天圣境的存在留下来的‘遗迹’！” 说到后来，赵暨一脸兴奋。 疑似超越了天圣境的存在留下来的遗迹？ 而听到赵暨这话，赵登再也无法保持严肃，面露惊容的问道：“你确定是疑似超越了天圣境的存在留下来的‘遗迹’？” “是。” 赵暨点头，将早就准备好的一番说辞说了出来，“根据留下那一处神通遗迹的强者留言，他是超越了天圣境的存在……另外，他所在的那个年代，道武圣地还没有划分为‘上域’和‘下域’。” 听赵暨说到这里，赵登的呼吸都急促了起来。 道武圣地还没有划分为上域和下域的时代，那可是上古时代！ 而那个时代的强者留下来的遗迹，又被称之为‘上古遗迹’。 但凡得到上古遗迹的人，最后都成为了道武圣地下域一等一的强者。 即便后来到了上域，也凭借一身实力闯出了自己的一片天地！ 而现在，他得知，他的儿子遇到了一处上古遗迹！ “上古遗迹，一般都留有强者传承……你遇到的那一处上古遗迹，可有传承？” 赵登呼吸急促的问道。 几乎在赵登话音刚落的瞬间，赵暨就已经点头，“那一处上古遗迹里面的传承，已经为我所得。” 赵登目光一亮，他的儿子，得到了上古遗迹的传承？ 与此同时，赵暨叹了口气，继续说道：“可惜的是，在我得到里面的传承以后，那一处上古遗迹便轰塌了……我原本还想让父亲和爷爷也进去试试能不能得到传承，现在看来却是没机会了。” 听到赵暨这句满是孝心的话，赵登自然非常高兴，“上古遗迹的传承，一般都是一脉单传，那样才显得珍贵！ 你能得到传承，我和爷爷只会为你高兴。” “你得到的是什么传承？” 赵登又问道。 “是魔修传承……准确的说，是兽魔的传承。” 而几乎在赵登话音刚落的瞬间，赵暨身上突然涌现出一股磅礴、浩瀚而阴森的气息，令得周围的温度仿佛都降低了几分。 ！” 而察觉到这股气息的赵登，也是被吓得猛然一瞪眼，面露骇然和不可思议之色。 虽然知道上古兽魔传承不简单，但他却也没想到这么夸张！ 让一个一年多以前还只是中圣境中期的武修，时隔不到两年时间，一举横跨大圣境，突破到‘人圣境’！ 只是，赵登却是做梦也想不到，他的儿子在欺骗他！ 什么上古兽魔传承，那都是假的！ 《噬阴魔功》，才是真的！
Chapter 1822 - Inheritance from a Prehistoric Devil Beast? “Junior Brother Ling Tian, since you’re the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why did you disguise yourself as Li Feng to join the Rising Sky Ranking Battle to save Sister Xue Nai from that situation? With your status, as long as you say the word, the Rising Sky Mansion wouldn’t dare to go against you.” After learning that Duan Ling Tian was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Gu Li was baffled by a lot of things. Duan Ling Tian had told him a lot of things previously. In his opinion, with Duan Ling Tian’s status, he merely needed to say the word, and the Rising Sky Mansion would not dare to go against it at all! The Rising Sky Mansion did not even dare to offend the Young Mansion Masters from general quasi third-rate forces, let alone a top quasi third-rate force like the Azure Cloud Mansion! “Moreover, since you’re the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why would you join the Mystical Sky Mansion? You have better cultivation resources back at the Azure Cloud Mansion!” Gu Li felt puzzled. “Senior Brother Gu Li, it’s normal for you to have all these questions. I have to tell you that I didn’t know the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is my father before today. It’s only natural for me not to know that I’m the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Due to these circumstances, I, naturally, had to do everything on my own.” Duan Ling Tian sighed. “How’s that possible?!” Gu Li was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. When he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s reaction to the name of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was lying. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, your father has never mentioned that he’s the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion? A few years ago, he went to the Mortal Continent and brought quite many family members back to the Azure Cloud Mansion, why didn’t he bring you along?” Gu Li was puzzled. “My father’s intention of leaving me on the Mortal Continent was to train me… Nonetheless, he did leave clues behind that would lead me to the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Azure Cloud Mansion once I’m strong enough to stand at the peak of the Mortal Continent. Unfortunately, due to my own fault, I damaged the clues he left me.” Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh when he thought about the damaged voice transmission jade slips inside the Exquisite Jade Box. What a twist of fate! Gu Li finally understood everything after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation. “I see… Nevertheless, it’s a fortunate twist of events. If Junior Brother Ling Tian had gone to the Azure Cloud Mansion as soon as you arrived at the Dao Martial Saint Land, we might not have the chance to meet.” “Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded, feeling pensive. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, since you know for certain Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, is your father, are you planning to find him? ” Gu Li asked. “Of course!” Duan Ling Tian nodded decisively. “My biggest wish is to reunite with my family before I leave for the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Now that I have information about them, I’ll naturally look for them!” After finding out that his father was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian wished more than anything that he could grow a pair of wings so he could fly to the Azure Cloud Mansion as fast as he could. Not only were his parents there, but his fiancée and child were also there! “Counting the days… My child with Little Fei’er should be a few years old now?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes inadvertently turned gentle when he thought about Li Fei and their child. When Gu Li saw Duan Ling Tian standing still with a smile on his face, he knew Duan Ling Tian was thinking about the home that he had been away from for a long time. Gu Li did not bother him since he felt it would be a crime to do so. Just as Duan Ling Tian had predicted, not long after the few Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan left, news regarding Gu Li’s breakthrough to the Divine Saint Stage spread in the Mystical Sky Mansion and caused an uproar. The gloomy atmosphere due to the appearance of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique had also disappeared. “Senior Brother Gu Li has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage?” “He’s worthy of being the son of Lord Guardian. Like father, like son!” “I’m afraid even the Lord Mansion Master wasn’t as young as Senior Brother Gu Li when he broke through to the Divine Saint Stage.” “If Senior Brother Gu Li becomes the next Mansion Master of our Mystical Sky Mansion, our Mystical Sky Mansion will definitely have a chance in becoming as powerful as forces like the Azure Cloud Mansion and the Mountainshade Black Market! It’s a pity he had previously said he would be leaving to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land once he has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage.” “First, it was Ling Tian.

At the same time, some of the comments saying that he was not as talented as Gu Li had also begun to circulate in the Mystical Sky Mansion. Both he and Gu Li were the respective sons of the two Guardians of Mystical Sky Mansion. However, when he was at Gu Li’s age, he was merely a Mastery Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. The worst thing one could do was to make a comparison. His innate talent was not too bad. However, compared to Gu Li, suddenly it seemed useless. The most important thing was both their fathers were Guardians. He had truly embarrassed his father this time. “Father!” Zhao Deng was feeling frustrated by the comments circulating in the Mystical Sky Mansion when a familiar voice sounded. His expression changed immediately when he heard this voice. His previously gloomy expression brightened like the sun. This was all because he recognized the owner of the voice.

A place left behind by a powerhouse who seemed to have surpassed the Quintessential Saint Stage? After hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Zhao Deng could not maintain his angry expression any longer. He asked in surprise, “Are you sure it’s a place left behind by a powerhouse who seemed to have surpassed the Quintessential Saint Stage?” “Yes.” Zhao Ji nodded and recited the script he had prepared in his mind, “According to the message left behind by the powerhouse, he was someone who had transcended the Quintessential Saint Stage.

She opened her mouth and unhappily asked, “Do you have a hatred for pigeons?\n“I’ve always felt that a bird that can speak is way too strange,” Ashes said laughingly and pulled up the girl that was sitting up from the ground, “At what time have you come back?”\n“Just a moment ago, I was afraid that I would get caught up by the storm, my wing almost ended up broken,” she patted her chest. “Fortunately, I was able to reach Sleeping Island before the rain began falling.”\n“Did you fly back… like this?” Ashes tapped her on the forehead, “Why didn’t you just turn into a swallow wouldn’t that have been much faster?”\nTilly couldn’t help but laugh, she then put down the letter in her hand and said, “I’m putting you through a lot of trouble. I already know about the news from that area, so for now, you can should go and look for Lotus or Molly and play with them, I will think about a good reply and notify you later.”\n“Good, goo!” Maggie saluted and then hopped as she left the room.\n“What did Roland Wimbledon have to say?” Waiting until the both of them were the only one left in the room, Ashes went over to Tilly and sat beside her on the woven mat. There, on the ground in front of them a map was spread out. Looking closely, she discovered that it depicted the terrain surrounding Border Town.\n“This is his letter,” Tilly handed her a piece of paper, “I have to say, the witches he picked are indeed… quite special…”\nAshes quickly finished reading the letter given to her, unable to keep the frown on her forehead she asked “He actually chose Sylvie? Does he simply do not care about exposing his identity?”\n“I don’t know,” Tilly said, not expressing her opinion, “Perhaps my summary about their abilities was too vague, so he was unable to do an in-depth investigation? Or it could be that he simply does not care if his identity is exposed to us, and might be trying to show his sincerity in cooperating? Of course, there is still another possibility…”\n“He really could be your older brother,” Ashes finished her sentence, “And because of this he doesn’t care at all about Sylvie’s ability.”\n“But this possibility is next to nothing,” she laughed at herself, “Who would know better than I the kind of person my older brother is? If he was indeed Roland Wimbledon, he would never chose to go against the Church in order to protect the witches. From young to old, the thing he has always been best at was with escaping. No matter what challenges or difficulties he was facing … Even when the king sent him to Border Town, he never went over to meet with “father” or tried raising any form of protest, even if it would only be a symbolic one.”\nAshes raised one eyebrow, “In short, him taking the initiative to pick Sylvie is a good thing for us. In that way we don’t need to think of an excuse to send him an additional witch, but those other witches… don’t tell me that you really want to agree to send them to him?”\n“Why not?”\n“Lotus is one of Sleeping Island’s most talented witches. If she is gone, who will build new mud houses or restore our old ones? If you want to create something, or transformation the island’s terrain, not having her ability to remodel the terrain would prove extremely inconvenient. After all, we are currently using less than 30% of Sleeping Islands terrain, there are still many places which can be transformed,” as she said this she raised one finger.\n“There is also Honey, she can order the osprey to catch fish for everyone, the reason we can enjoy a variety of delicious fish soups every day is to her credit. As for Candle and Evelyn, sending them away, wouldn’t be such a big problem… In case you cannot refuse his request, can’t we just exchange those two witches for others who aren’t as useful?”\n“What is useful, what is useless? By sending them to Border Town, I hope to obtain a new ally, rather than abandon our sisters,” Tilly’s expression turned grave, “No matter what kind of ability they have, by choosing to come to Sleeping Island, all of the witches have become our sisters. If we want to turn Sleeping Island into the home for witches, how could we afford to filter the already small number of witches according to whether their abilities are useful or not?”\nTilly sighed and then started unhurriedly, “Moreover, it’s hard to measure the ability of everyone according to some kind of standard. From among the more than one hundred witches, Roland has selected those five witches. Even including Candle and Evelyn, two that you have regarded as useless.\n“Can you be really be certain that they are useless? Perhaps through this exchange, we will be able to figure out whether he choose the two by accident, or if he had seen something within them that we were just unable to recognize.” She paused, “No matter what, we are already such a small number of witches, every witch deserves to be fought for. They aren’t tools to we use to build a new home. Instead, we are all comrades holding the same goal in our sights, so you must never speak such words.”\n“Yes, Your Majesty,” Ashes responded in a meek voice.\nAt this moment, lightning broke through the clouds, straight over the sea. As if it were a decree given by the Gods, it was immediately followed with an ear-splitting rolling of thunder. And together with the echo of the explosions, the rain also began to fall over Sleeping Island. At first, it fell sparse, but it then quickly turned into a hubbub. And the dense rain soon covered the outside scenery with a layer of fog and rain, even sometimes overshadowing the conversation between the two.\nAshes got up and closed the window, in order to keep the rain from drifting into the room. When she turned turning around, she saw Tilly sway twice, showing a somewhat wan and sallow expression on her face.\n“Were you staying up all night?”\n“Well,” Tilly called yawn. “All the books we brought back from the ruins were written in the same language. Moreover, I already found some common points, as long as I have enough time, I am sure that I can translate all of them.”\n“Yeah, with enough time… now after getting rid of the nagging Church, there will certainly be sufficient time for you, you don’t need to study it all through the night.” Ashes knit her brow, “It could have a tremendous impact on your body.”\n“Rest assured, I am a witch, my body won’t collapse so quickly.” The 5th Princess took a deep breath, “Moreover, I have a vague premonition – seeing the scene within the ruins gave me an uneasy feeling, so we have to decipher the content of these books as soon as possible… Oh, by the way, this time when the witches leave for Border Town, they will also bring one of the books along with them.”\n“If even you cannot read it, the possibility that the witches from the Witch Cooperation Association will know it is even worse.”\n“Well we will just have to take a chance,” Tilly said, “I heard that there have been ancient ruins found in the eastern forest. Furthermore, the origin of the Witch Cooperation Association is located in the Sea Wind Region, which is almost right next to the forest, we can’t say for sure whether some of them haven’t already seen this language. And if we can prove that they used the same language, it should mean that all those remains are from the same group of people.”\n“Yes, I got it,” Ashes agreed.\n“Also, it’s not the case that I blame you for your previous words, some of the words you said are reasonable – but that isn’t related to the part about the significance of their abilities.” Tilly reached out with her hand to stop Ashes from speaking, “I have reached an agreement with the chamber of commerce of the Crescent Moon Bay Caravan. They will start to migrate some ordinary people over to Sleeping Island by next spring. So if Lotus leaves for too long, it would affect the follow-up construction of the island, so before the winter comes I will have them all return to the Fjord.”\n“But in order to avoid any kind of misunderstanding, I will lead several combat witches over to Border Town and help them to resist the attacks of the demonic beasts during the Months of Demons.” Tilly exposed a sly smile, “When that time comes, are you willing to go together with me?”\nAshes froze for a moment, but in the end had no other option than helplessly replied, “Of course, Your Majesty.”" } ]

His head was lowered and one of his hands was clenched in a fist, with his forehead resting on it. Xu Que had landed in one of his act tough poses!\n\"Yes, I'm here!\"\nThe corners of Xu Que's lips curled up. His head lifted slightly to look at the Seventh Princess.\nA gust of wind blew against Xu Que, brushing against his fringe and revealing his dashingly coquettish smile.\nThe Seventh Princess was slightly stunned by that smile. Her beautiful face beneath her veil changed into a smile as well. \"Young Master Xu, I knew that you would definitely come!\"\n\"As the Speed Star of Mount Akina, the famous Old Driver, how could I not appear for a contest like this?\"\nXu Que stood up as he smiled, and glanced at the entrance of the Imperial Tombs.\nA pathway stretched out from the entrance to a winding mountain path that could lead to the foot of the mountain.\nBoth sides of the path were full of onlookers and rows of guards standing perfectly upright!\nXu Que took a quick look at the path and he was instantly delighted to see that it had consecutive curves in the road. This was too suitable for an Old Driver like him and a great chance to act tough. He could enjoy the feeling of dashing through the consecutive curves by drifting with his car!\n\"Hmm? I feel that I might be being stared at by someone gay...\"\nSuddenly, Xu Que sensed murderous intent not too far away. He turned around and saw the gloomy face of the Second Prince.\nEver since Xu Que had emptied everything inside his treasure vault, the Second Prince had dared not publicize it. He could only secretly engage assassins to find Xu Que, but the assassins had not been able to locate him for the past two days as well.\nNow that Xu Que had appeared, the Second Prince could not contain his urge to have him killed. He almost could not hold back from dealing Xu Que a killing blow!\n\"Hey, Second Fatty, you're here too?\" Xu Que immediately greeted the Second Prince warmly. \"Have you been sleeping well the past few days? Oh dear, you look thinner now. Have you not had a good appetite? Are you so poor that you don't have enough to eat? Maybe… I'll help you apply for some social aid? How does five accounts sound for you? So every month you'll get a minimum amount of a few taels of silver?\"\nThese words nearly made the Second Prince spit out a mouthful of blood!\nWhat the heck?\nYou emptied out my treasure vault and ransacked my chamber. How can I still eat and sleep well?\nHello, I'm a prince. Why would I need social aid?\nDo you think that what you did is something that a few taels of silver can settle?\nD*mn it, just you wait!\nI won't rest till you're dead!\nThe Second Prince stared at Xu Que so ferociously that veins started to appear on his forehead. He looked livid.\n\"Are you Xu Que?\" A man near the Second Prince stepped forward and looked at Xu Que expressionlessly.\nXu Que's eyebrow worked. Where did this idiot come from? he thought. He looks like he has a grudge against me.\n\"Young Master Xu, this man is the World's Greatest Chariot King, Zhang Lin. You'll need to be wary of him later!\" the Seventh Princess walked over to Xu Que and informed him with a serious expression.\nObviously, the title of Chariot King was not some unearned reputation that could just be given to anyone. Even the Seventh Princess dared not belittle him!\nNevertheless, Xu Que was not in the least affected. \"When I drive, I only pay attention to two things. That is, fast movements and dashing postures. As for the rest, I don't care about them!\"\nConfidence, this is confidence! the Seventh Princess thought as her eyes flashed slightly. What she valued was Xu Que's great level of confidence.\nShe believed that only people with outstanding strength would have such a confident demeanour!\nXu Que looked towards Zhang Lin and replied in a cold tone, \"whether I am Xu Que or not is none of your business, alright?\"\nZhang Lin's expression darkened. Originally, he had heard that Xu Que had extraordinary skill in driving divine chariots and wanted to taunt him. But he had not expected this guy to be so rude. He was now infuriated and spat, \"I'm Zhang Lin!\"\n\"None of my business!\" Xu Que replied rudely again. Those words 'none of my business' not only almost drove Zhang Lin crazy with anger, but they also made everyone present feel annoyed yet amused at the sight!\n\"This fellow has a sharp tongue. Anyone talking to him might die of anger!\"\n\"But he angered Chariot King Zhang. Guess he won't have an easy time later!\"\n\"That's for sure. Chariot King Zhang's driving skill has peaked and is breathtakingly splendid. How can Xu Que compare to him?\"\n\"Haha, this is called 'he who knows nothing fears nothing'!\"\nMany people were shaking their heads and thought that Xu Que was very ill-informed!\n\"Is this fellow really reliable?\"\n\"Somehow I feel that he's rather unreliable. Why don't we send more people out for the first round? Just in case!\" suggested the princes who supported their Third Brother.\nThe Third Prince was deep in thought for a moment. Then he opened his mouth, about to speak...\nBooom!\nA sudden roaring sound was heard from a distance, followed by a sharp and clear voice that pierced through the sky. It could be heard all throughout the surroundings of the Imperial Tombs.\n\"The… Emperor… arrives!\"\nWhen everyone heard this, they stiffened up and instantly looked formal and serious. Swoosh!\nAll the guards kneeled on the ground. All the cultivators paid their respects by cupping one hand in the other in front of their chests and bowing!\n\"Long live the Metal Emperor!\"\nThe deafening shout of the crowd resounded to the skies!\nThe Imperial Tombs Contest not only involved the excavation of the Dragon Veins, but also the fight for the position of Crown Prince. The Metal Emperor had to be there personally to preside over the event.\nHowever, the Emperor's majestic appearance actually gave Xu Que some thoughts of becoming an Emperor. This was because he would gain a lot of Acting Tough Points if he appeared like that as an Emperor!\nBoom!\nWith another loud sound, more than ten divine chariots were seen speeding around the foot of the hill. One of them was golden, gleaming and dignified.\nSoon, all the divine chariots stopped at the foot of the mountain. A middle-aged man stepped out of the golden chariot. He had a gentle and elegant face yet there was a dignified and imposing air about him that felt natural!\nXu Que was also able to feel a natural majestic aura from the Metal Emperor.\nThe Emperor had a square face. He wore a golden crown and his gown was embroidered with dragons. Many people dared not look at the Emperor directly in the eye because of his stately aura.\nMoreover, the Metal Emperor exuded an unfading feeling that he had lived for many years, despite having a rather youthful appearance. That made people feel an involuntary surge of respect for him. It was as if he was a solemn Buddha who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.\nHis eyes were also full of wisdom and seemingly possessed profound knowledge.\nXu Que only had brief eye contact with him. In just that moment, he felt as if he was being seen right through. A sense of guilt rose within him.\nUndoubtedly, that was the Emperor of the Metal Nation... a man with modern, advanced thinking!\nAfter looking at the Emperor a few more times, Xu Que gave a pleasant smile.\nIn contrast to the Fire Emperor, the first impression the Metal Emperor gave Xu Que was that he was a much, much better ruler! This is what an Emperor should be! he thought.\nBoom!\nAt that moment, a few more loud sounds were heard.\nAnother group of several divine chariots were seen from the foot of the mountain. That sharp, clear and loud voice was heard once more!\n\"The… Empress.... Dowager… arrives!\"" } ]
第三百四十九章 太后驾到！ “徐公子，你终于来了！” 七公主十分欣喜，徐缺这个时候出现，实在令她激动！ 徐缺则单膝跪地，低着头，凝视地面，同时一只手还握成拳，抵在自己的额头处，如同人登场，逼格满满！ “是的，我来了！” 徐缺嘴角一扬，脑袋微微抬起，看向了七公主。 一阵微风吹来，拂动徐缺额前的刘海，他露出了风骚帅气的笑容。 七公主微微愣住，面纱之下美丽的脸庞，莞尔一笑：“徐公子，我便知道，你一定会来！” “身为秋名山的车神，鼎鼎大名的老司机，这种比赛我怎么能不来呢？” 徐缺笑着站起身，目光扫向皇陵前。 只见入口处，往外延伸，竟是一条蜿蜒扭曲的山路，一直抵达山脚。 山路两旁还站满了围观的人群，以及一位位站得笔直的禁卫！ 显而易见，这条山路，就是神驹竞赛的赛道！ 徐缺简单扫过一眼，心中顿时就乐了，这种连续夹弯的山路，太适合他这种老司机装逼了，可以好好玩一次无限飘逸！ 感觉好像有基佬在盯着我呀！” 这时，徐缺突然感觉到不远处传来的一阵杀意，扭头看去，正是满脸阴沉的二皇子。 自从徐缺搬空他密室里的底蕴后，他也不敢声张，只能暗中派杀人寻找徐缺，可这两天同样毫无收获。 现在徐缺主动出现，二皇子顿时杀气腾腾，差点忍不住想出手把徐缺拍死！ 要不……我帮你向你们金元国申请一个低保？ 给你弄个五保户的名头？ 每个月弄个几两银子的保障？” 这话险些就让二皇子一口老血喷出来！ 尼玛？ 你丫的搬走我的宝库，洗劫我的寝宫，我还能睡好吃好？ 我堂堂一个幌子，弄什么乱七八糟的低保？ 现在的事情，是几两银子就能解决的么？ 妈的，你给我等着！ 不死不休！ 二皇子狠狠盯着徐缺，额头上几乎青筋浮现，看得出他此时有多愤怒。 “你就是徐缺么？” 这时，二皇子身边突然走出一名男子，面无表情的盯着徐缺，冷声问道。 徐缺眉毛一挑，这哪冒出来的智障啊，看上去好像跟我有仇似的。 “徐公子，此人乃是有天下第一神驹王称号的**，你待会要小心他了！” 七公主迈步来到徐缺身旁，低声提醒道，脸色有些凝重。 显然，神驹王这个称号并不是浪得虚名的，连七公主都不敢轻视对方！ 可徐缺却毫无压力，摆手道：“我开车向来只讲究两件事情，动作要快，姿势要帅，至于其他的，我都不管！” 自信，这就是自信！ 七公主眼眸微微闪烁，她看重的就是徐缺这种自信。 因为她相信，只有实力卓越的人，才会拥有这种自信的气质！ 徐缺看向**，冷声道：“我是不是徐缺，关你屁事啊？” **顿时脸色一沉，原本他听说徐缺驾驭神驹的技术很不凡，正想挑衅一番，可没想到，这家伙一开口就这么不客气，顿时让他气到了，当即怒道：“我乃是**！” 一句“关你屁事”，以及“关我屁事”，不仅让**差点气疯，也顿时让全场所有人纷纷哭笑不得！ “这家伙嘴巴真特么贱，简直是气死人不偿命呀！” “不过他激怒了张驹王，待会恐怕没好果子吃了！” “肯定呀，张驹王驾驭神驹的技术早已登峰造极，令人叹为观止，这徐缺如何能比得上？” “哈哈，这就叫初生牛犊不怕虎！” 许多人摇头，认为徐缺这种做法，十分不识好歹！ “这小子真的靠谱吗？” “总觉得有点胡来，要不我们待会多派几个人上去吧，以防万一！” 几名皇子向三皇子建议道。 三皇子若有所思，张了张口，正要说话。 轰隆！ 这时，远处陡然传来一阵轰鸣声，随后一道尖锐响亮的声音，划破天际，响彻皇陵四周。 “皇-上-驾-到！” 此声一出，全场众人纷纷一震，拘谨而严肃。 所有禁卫全部跪地，修士们纷纷拱手作辑，以鞠躬为礼仪！ “金皇万岁万岁万万岁！” 一阵震耳欲聋的众呼，响彻云霄！ 皇陵试炼，不仅涉及龙脉开采，还涉及太子之位的定夺，身为皇帝，肯定是要亲自到场主持的。 不过他一出场，这种气势，这种场面，倒是弄得徐缺都有点想当皇帝了，逼格实在太高了！ “轰！” 伴随一声轰鸣，数十架神驹从山脚飞驰而来，其中一架通体金黄，闪烁着辉芒，十分尊贵。 很快，神驹全部停在了下方，金色神驹里走出一位中年男子，面容儒雅，却有股不怒自威的气势，浑然天成！ 在他的身上，徐缺也感受到了一股天然威严。 那方正的国字脸，头戴金冠，身穿龙袍，浑身上下散出来的威势，让在场许多人皆不敢直视。 而且，金皇那看起来年岁并不大的脸庞上，总让人觉得有一股难以磨灭的岁月痕迹，令人不由自主的望而生畏，仿佛庄严的大佛，历经了人世间无数代的沧桑一般。 他的双眸，也充满着一股睿智而深邃的辉芒。 徐缺仅是短短的与他的目光接触，一瞬之间，竟有一种好像被人洞穿了所有的心虚感。 毫无疑问，这就是金元国的皇帝，一个思想先进的男人！ 徐缺打量了几眼后，不由得一笑。 相比起来，这位金元国皇帝，给他的第一感觉，倒比火元国那狗皇帝好太多了！ 这特么才叫做皇帝啊！ “轰！” 这时候，又是数声轰鸣。 山脚后方又有数架神驹飞驰而来，那道尖锐响亮的声音再度响起！ “太-后-驾-到！”

Coincidentally, this was where numerous influential factions came into contact with each other. And because of the various conflicts between the groups, not one of them was able to take control of this area. Thus, the bazaar was established.\nIn the bazaar, there were various establishments set up by different factions in Qingyang Town. Due to this profitable arrangement, most of the factions tolerated the existence of the bazaar and eventually a strange, delicate balance was struck.\nEven outside of town, the Qingyang Town bazaar was very well known. Therefore, besides the local crowd, it also attracted some bandits from the neighbouring villages. However, this helped to increase the diversity of the crowd and hence even the local tyrants, the Lie and Xie Family, did not dare to seize this area for themselves in fear of destroying their cash cow. …\nWhen Lin Dong and Qing Tan arrived at the bazaar’s entrance, they could not help but gasp as they saw the flood of people and the ruckus inside the bazaar. This bazaar was definitely the largest market around Qingyang Town and its crowds were indeed intimidating.\n“Lets go.”\nLin Dong looked at the bazaar with an inquisitive gaze. These days, he rarely ventured into these kind of places. Nonetheless, as a young man, he was still curious about them.\nAfter he spoke, he grabbed Qing Tan’s tiny hand and burrowed into the bazaar.\nIn the bazaar, the variety of items displayed was dazzling. Even though the streets were relatively wide, due to the overwhelming amount of people present, they still felt somewhat congested.\nQing Tan and Lin Dong were dripping with sweat after merely walking through a small alley. However, Qing Tan was extremely excited and her tiny face flushed in excitement. Together with her adorable laughter, she looked extremely cute and inadvertently drew much attention from the crowd. As they turned to look, many of them were left breathless as they saw her picture perfect looks and snowy white skin.\nAt last, the two of them stopped at a lavish building located at the tip of a street. This part of the bazaar was considered as a rather posh district. The Lei Family, Xie Family and the Raging Blade Dojo all had shops here.\n“Qing Tan, wait for me here. I will be right back…” Lin Dong reminded Qing Tan as he scanned the surroundings. Then, he slipped into the crowd and disappeared from view.\nAs he traversed through the crowd, Lin Dong casually bought a bamboo hat from a little shop, giving him a peace of mind before he returned to one of the main streets. Finally, he stopped before a giant black door.\nThere were all sorts of people in the bazaar. Naturally, some of the items sold here could attract unwanted attention due to a variety of reasons. Therefore, an underground bazaar was born.\nThe place that Lin Dong had arrived at was one of those underground bazaars. In this place, one can easily sell their goods at a fairly reasonable rate, no questions asked.\nOutside of the giant black door, there was a constant stream of visitors. However, just like Lin Dong, all these visitors wore a black bamboo hat to conceal their identities.\nAs he lightly spit out a sigh, Lin Dong suppressed the anxiety in his heart and calmly walked through the door. As he stepped through the door, he could sense an ominous aura that caused a chill to be felt on one’s skin.\nBehind that door laid a long alleyway. Following the path, Lin Dong discovered several tightly shut doors along the way. He knew that this was where the transactions took place and he quickly looked for a half-opened door before walking in.\nAs he entered the room, he saw that it was rather dimly lit and a large table stood in the middle. The center of the table was blocked by a black metal grille and just inches below it was a small opening.\n“Please take a seat. If you have any items to exchange, please put them in the slot.” A seemingly aged voice sounded out from behind the black metal grille.\nBy now, the fear in Lin Dong’s heart had subsided. As he sat down, he took out a transparent bottle from his sleeve. Contained within the bottle were ten drops of Stone Talisman Ling Liquid. However, these drops were not pure as they had been diluted by Lin Dong.\n“A medicinal liquid refined from an elixir. It is very good for Tempered Body practitioners and it can be used for treatment purposes as well.” Lin Dong deliberately croaked in a strange voice. Even though it sounded terrible, it helped to mask his real voice.\nA wrinkled palm reached out and took the glass bottle. Soon after, Lin Dong heard a dripping sound as the man inside was trying to examine the properties of the Ling Liquid.\nThis examination took nearly ten minutes before the voice once again sounded out from behind that window: “This medicinal liquid has approximately the same amount of Ling Qi as a Grade 2 elixir. It is also gentle in nature and thus very suitable for Tempered Body practitioners. Since it also has medicinal properties, I am willing to pay you a higher price. What do you want in exchange?”\nLin Dong’s finger trembled as he marvelled at the shop keeper’s ability. After slightly hesitating, he answered: “Seven stalks of Grade 3 elixirs”.\n“Thats too much. Your medicinal liquid is too luxurious for Tempered Body practitioners to use. On the other hand, though it has some medicinal properties, it is also too wasteful to use it for treatment. Therefore, it is not easy to sell.” After a moment of silence, the man behind the window replied. He was evidently bothered that Lin Dong had asked for such an exorbitant sum.\n“How about three stalks of Grade 3 elixirs.”\n“Six stalks.” Lin Dong firmly replied.\n“Five stalks. That’s the best I can do…” It was as if the man behind the window shook his head as he resolutely replied. This was evidently the highest he could offer.\nLin Dong shrugged his shoulders as under the bamboo hat, a smile emerged on his face. Ten drops of Ling Liquid that had been diluted once could actually be exchanged for five stalks of Grade 3 Elixirs. This was a pretty good harvest for him. It did not matter if the shopkeeper had intentionally short changed him, after all he personally did not care much for the diluted Ling Liquid.\nThe shopkeeper was extremely efficient. Within five minutes, an intricate box was pushed out from below the window. As Lin Dong opened the box, he saw five thumb sized dark yellow fruits quietly resting within. He could faintly smell a fragrant aroma drifting up from them.\n“Grade 3 elixir, Yellow Mud Fruit.”\nLin Dong obviously recognized these dark yellow fruits. After a carefully inspecting the goods, he nodded his head in contentment as he kept the wooden box. Then, he swiftly left the room.\nAfter Lin Dong exited the room, the metal barrier was slowly raised. Behind, stood an elderly man dressed in grey robes. As he held onto the bottle, he smelt the aroma from within before gently nodding his head.\n“Old Shopkeeper, is this thing really worth 5 Yellow Mud Fruits?” Standing behind the old man, a middle-aged man with a blood thirsty stench growled.\n“Oh? Should I run a background check on that fellow then?” The middle-aged man was momentarily shocked, however just as his words left his mouth, the expression on the old man darkened. Upon witnessing this scene, the middle-aged  man immediately shut his mouth.\n“Don’t you know our rules? If you wreck our reputation, how would we continue on in Qingyang Town?”\nThe middle-aged man hastily nodded after hearing the old man reprimand him. “Snort.”\nThe old man snorted as he stood up and left with the bottle. …\nAfter Lin Dong came out of the underground bazaar, he strolled about randomly in the huge bazaar for a while before speedily throwing away the bamboo hat and heading towards a certain street.\nAt the place where they had initially parted, Lin Dong easily found Qing Tan who was still obediently waiting for him there. Just as he prepared to bring her to once again roam about, the latter suddenly pulled at his arm.\nLin Dong shifted his gaze only to see a familiar figure walking out from the entrance of the building. Unexpectedly, it was Lin Shan.\nAs Lin Dong saw Lin Shan, the latter also discovered the two of them. Initially, a pleasantly suprised look burst forth before his expression abruptly changed as if he had suddenly recalled something as he stood rooted on the spot.\nGlued on the spot, Lin Shan looked at Lin Dong. It was as if the former desired to walk over and yet was afraid to because of their history. In the end, Lin Shan was at a loss of what to do.\nLin Dong sighed as he pulled Qing Tan over and asked: “What happened?”\nLin Shan somewhat fearfully glanced at Lin Dong. After some hesitation, the former finally said: “We ran into those bastards from the Xie Family, after that, Lin Xia-jie was bullied and then we fought with them…but…there were too many of them. I escaped…to find…help.”\nLin Shan’s face flushed red as he involuntarily dipped his head downwards.\nStunned, Lin Dong quickly recovered as his eyebrows tightly knitted together. He muttered to himself for a bit before commanding Lin Shan as he gestured with his hand: “Bring me there.”\nAfter all, he had a fairly good relationship with Lin Xia. As for Lin Hong and Lin Shan, all of their past clashes were confined to within the family. He was not so narrow minded as to look on without lifting a finger when such a thing happened.\nAt Lin Dong’s words, Lin Shan immediately lifted his head and looked at Lin Dong with astonishment. He clearly never imagined that Lin Dong would disregard their past enmity and extend a helping hand. With somewhat red eyes, Lin Shan forcefully nodded." } ]

At the place where they had initially parted, Lin Dong easily found Qing Tan who was still obediently waiting for him there. Just as he prepared to bring her to once again roam about, the latter suddenly pulled at his arm. Lin Dong shifted his gaze only to see a familiar figure walking out from the entrance of the building. Unexpectedly, it was Lin Shan. As Lin Dong saw Lin Shan, the latter also discovered the two of them. Initially, a pleasantly suprised look burst forth before his expression abruptly changed as if he had suddenly recalled something as he stood rooted on the spot. Glued on the spot, Lin Shan looked at Lin Dong. It was as if the former desired to walk over and yet was afraid to because of their history. In the end, Lin Shan was at a loss of what to do. Lin Dong sighed as he pulled Qing Tan over and asked: “What happened?” Lin Shan somewhat fearfully glanced at Lin Dong. After some hesitation, the former finally said: “We ran into those bastards from the Xie Family, after that, Lin Xia-jie was bullied and then we fought with them…but…there were too many of them. I escaped…to find…help.” Lin Shan’s face flushed red as he involuntarily dipped his head downwards. Stunned, Lin Dong quickly recovered as his eyebrows tightly knitted together. He muttered to himself for a bit before commanding Lin Shan as he gestured with his hand: “Bring me there.” After all, he had a fairly good relationship with Lin Xia. As for Lin Hong and Lin Shan, all of their past clashes were confined to within the family. He was not so narrow minded as to look on without lifting a finger when such a thing happened. At Lin Dong’s words, Lin Shan immediately lifted his head and looked at Lin Dong with astonishment. He clearly never imagined that Lin Dong would disregard their past enmity and extend a helping hand. With somewhat red eyes, Lin Shan forcefully nodded.

Now when Wang Po retrieved his blade, Su Li's acclamation pierced through the downpour and landed in everyone's ear. Because besides Zhu Luo, only Su Li was an expert that walked through the divine domain, and only Su Li could understand just how arduous of a task it was for Wang Po to retrieve his blade.\nIn addition, what did the destruction of the wet leaf at the hands of this blade indicate? It indicated that Wang Po had seen through the sky-spanning storm that Zhu Luo had used to hold him!\nIn his life, Su Li had met countless cultivating geniuses and had personally instructed Qiushan Jun, Qi Jian, and Chen Changsheng. But he had still been shocked by the talent concealed in this blade.\nThe blade edge washed cold by the rain and the soaked fallen leaf met in the air. Anything, once soaked, would get heavier, and this fallen leaf was as weighty as a great mountain, yet even so, it could not resist the cleaving of the blade. With a muffled bang, that wet leaf turned into countless bits and drifted in every direction. It was like a suddenly expanding ball had appeared in the gloomy and rainy street.\nBerserk true essence accompanied the countless fallen leaves that drifted around like cotton threads. Countless densely packed holes had been scored into the hard gray stone of the ground. The walls of the street had long since been covered by countless blade slashes, but were now chopped into piles of sand.\nHis body, as well as the bodies of Chen Changsheng holding the reins and Su Li on the horse further back, were all protected by his blade.\nThere was an intense clattering sound like countless needles simultaneously landing on a glossy metal surface, unbroken and unending.\nThe wind accompanying the torrential rain also blew more swiftly, gusting up everything. Several li away in the ruins of the inn, an elaborate abacus sat in the filthy water. As the wind blew against the beads of the abacus, they crisply clacked together, sounding just like a song.\nThe storm gradually died down, the long street gradually grew still, and the beads of the abacus gradually ceased to move.\nWang Po still stood at his original position, not giving a single step. His metal blade was still in his hands without any intention of being put down. But his face was extremely pale and his plain clothes were scored with tears and streaks of blood.\nThe street was quiet, water dripping from the remaining eaves. Drip drop drip drop. But no one would be bothered by these things, because no one would care about them.\nChen Changsheng's hands no longer grasped the reins. His two hands were grasping his dagger while he seriously and attentively looked forward, looking over Wang Po's shoulder at the godlike and unchallengeable expert. Wang Po had already suffered severe injuries, yet at this point, Zhu Luo had not truly attacked. No matter from which angle it was looked at, Wang Po had already lost, but for him to obstruct Zhu Luo for a few moments was still very amazing.\nNext, it was naturally his turn to obstruct Zhu Luo.\nZhu Luo did not pay any attention to Chen Changsheng's movements. His expression a little peculiar, he looked at Wang Po and said, \"I didn't expect that even though you hadn't even cultivated to the peak of Star Condensation and were even further from being half a step from the Saint realm, you would still manage to pry into a few laws of the Divine Domain?\"\nWang Po replied, \"The ten thousand things share the same principle, so there are naturally places where the mortal world and the divine intersect.\"\nZhu Luo said, \"Such talent, such perception, no wonder you would dare strike at me…but just what meaning is there to it?\"\nYes, in the general scheme of things, Wang Po's talent and unswerving determination were absolutely meaningless.\nBecause it was impossible for him to defeat Zhu Luo.\nZhu Luo's sword was still in its sheath, but Zhu Luo could still drench the number one ranked expert of the Proclamation of Liberation in blood, could still inflict heavy injuries upon his body.\nA name moves the eight directions, a storm darkens the skies. As expected, they were strong beyond belief.\nThe gap between the two with regards to age, cultivation, and the abyss that separated the divine from the ordinary, was simply impossible to bridge with things like talent and willpower. How could Wang Po have a justification for why he hadn't been defeated?\nBut there were some people that thought differently.\n\"You lost,\" Su Li said.\nWhen the distant crowd of spectators heard this statement, they were filled with confusion. How could this be? Wang Po is covered in blood and is clearly severely wounded; just where can you find a single chance of winning on him?\nSitting on the horse, Su Li looked at Zhu Luo and said, \"To lose against this sort of junior, don't you feel a little ashamed?\"\nZhu Luo's hair that spilled onto his shoulders was gently lifted up by the breeze, and his two brows similarly rose up. Yet just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped himself. He lowered his head and looked over himself. There were no wounds, no blood, only a corner of his sleeve slowly drifting to the ground.\nA tiny piece of his left sleeve had been cut off.\nWhether it was Zhu Luo or any other cultivator at any sort of realm, none of them would have their strength affected by this in the slightest. But when he saw that piece of cloth gently drift down into the puddle in front of him, Zhu Luo said nothing for a very long time. As the crowd looked on, they made no sound. They all thought to themselves, could it be that he actually lost? But where did he lose?\nNo one understood Su Li's words or Zhu Luo's silence. Chen Changsheng also did not understand while Liang Wangsun vaguely understood a little. Wang Po understood, but he did not accept it.\nVictory or defeat. Win or lose. From a literal aspect, they both had completely identical meanings. It was only at certain moments, in certain special circumstances, that defeat did not mean you had lost. For instance, if some hooligan dressed in black and white dashed his head against cement but still managed to gently tap the head of some exceptional villain with a piece of wood, although it was meaningless, he had still won. Su Li would naturally use this sort of worth to judge Wang Po and Zhu Luo's first exchange. Of course Wang Po had been defeated. It was uncontroversial, right and inevitable, in accord with the laws of heaven and the principles of the earth that he had been defeated, but Su Li still thought that it was Zhu Luo who had lost.\nZhu Luo's reactions indicated that to some degree, he acknowledged Su Li's words.\n‘When Zhou Dufu was three years old, could he possibly have had the ability to defeat the world and be without adversary? When the Tianhai Empress first entered the palace, just who could she beat? If you were as old as Wang Po right now, could you beat him?’ These were the words Su Li said to Zhu Luo. This reasoning seemed somewhat fallacious, but it was actually very reasonable. It was just that this argument had to involve the supreme experts of the continent before it could be understood.\nChen Changsheng understood. With a rather vacant look on his face, he began to think, if we compare in terms of people who are the same age as me, then I...ah, there's still Xu Yourong and lady Chen Chujian; how could I be the strongest? Su Li did not know what Chen Changsheng was thinking about, or else he would definitely tease him a little. He continued to say to Zhu Luo, \"There's still another problem: you retreated too fiercely.\"\nZhu Luo said nothing. The fine rain fell down, but it did not dare to touch the cape over his body and floated away to avoid it.\n\"Back then, with your one sword reflecting the moon, you could kill the second Demon General in one blow. But now, how could you possibly be Hai Di's opponent? Once you were a confident youth who could write poems and kill his enemies, but now you've already gotten old, lacking any of the drive. If that were all, fine. But contrary to expectations, your manner is not at all imposing, not even comparable to that woman Tianhai. In the past several hundred years, you didn't even dare to take a single step into the capital. Today, you want to take an opportunity to kill a junior that might threaten your position. Tsk, tsk, you really have grown up.\"\nSu Li continued, \"Why? You're old—almost a thousand years old—and should have died a long time ago. To be old and not die, what is that? It's a thief, an old thief. Ah, people. They're just like trees. When they're at their healthiest and sturdiest, they should do their best to brag in the spring wind. When they grow too old and still cling desperately to their lives, their bodies will grow old and their wood will rot, until finally a lightning bolt cleaves down and turns them into burnt ash. Just what meaning is there in that?\"\nZhu Luo finally opened his mouth and said to Su Li, \"Are you done speaking?\"\nSu Li replied, \"I'm done scolding.\"\nZhu Luo replied, \"What you say is reasonable.\"\nSu Li's sword-like brows perked upwards and he said with some interest, \"How about it?\"\nZhu Luo responded, \"This is your second sword.\"\nEvery word condemning, every phrase like a sword—although Su Li was so wounded that he couldn't fight, he still had his sword heart. His spoken words also had the ability to wound others.\nSu Li calmly looked at him and confirmed that this old fellow truly had the qualification to be absolutely arrogant. He actually hadn't been the least bit affected.\n\"I've received two of your swords. Then, it should be my turn to take out my sword.\"\nWith these words, Zhu Luo's right hand descended like a dragon breaking through the clouds. It came to his waist and gripped the hilt of his sword.\nThe dark clouds grew heavier, the dense rain fell, the skies grew darker, and the leaves fell layer upon layer, dancing in between the droplets of rain as they filled the sky.\nZhu Luo extracted his sword from its sheath. This sword was not very bright and didn't seem very unusual. Yet the edges of the dark clouds that shrouded Xunyang City abruptly grew brighter, as if they had been plated with silver. Was it a halo of light? What was behind the layer of clouds? Was it the sun? No, it was that which should never have appeared in the world of humans: the Moon of the demons.\nIn Zhu Luo's past, this had been his greatest glory.\nMany years ago, on the snowy plains, he saw the bright moon, recited a very beautiful poem, and slew a very powerful opponent. Just like that, he became one of the supreme experts of the continent and obtained the title of Solitary Drunk Under the Moon.\nAt last, this expert displayed to Xunyang City the true sight of the Saint Realm.\nSeparated by layers and layers of heavy rain and innumerable fallen leaves, Chen Changsheng still sensed the boundless and dignified strength of that light. He felt his body become more rigid, so much that he subconsciously wanted to flee. Was this the Saint Realm? Originally, ‘domain’ here had not referred to the Star Domain of the Star Condensation Realm. A light enveloped all with no boundary of any sort. Then how could one attack it? He had studied the Daoist Canon since he was a child, and in terms of experience and learning, he wouldn't lose to anyone. Yet he could not understand the light at the edge of the dark clouds and the light brought by that sword, because the laws and operations of the Divine Domain had already surpassed his ability to understand.\nThe pitch-black rain, the shining sword, the leaden clouds which seemed ready to ignite.\nBefore such a spectacular backdrop, Wang Po's figure seemed all the more insignificant, as if it could be swallowed up at any moment.\n\"Forget it!\" Chen Changsheng yelled at him.\nWang Po did not turn around. \"I still want to try. It's not easy to get this sort of experience.\"\nThe downpour washed his face that was without fear and without joy. Just like his voice, it was so calm that it would make the heart tremble and feel respect.\nChen Changsheng said no more. He knew that he had once again learned a few more things.\nThe world was maybe bright, or maybe dark. As the sword came, the dark storm came holding the light. No matter how vast the world was, there would still be no place to hide. Wang Po also had no way to hide.\nHe once again struck out with his blade. He brandished his blade in the same old, straightforward style, but the place where the blade energy landed was completely different.\nHe did not cleave at the sword glow, not at the sky of dancing leaves, not at Zhu Luo ten-odd zhang away, but at the storm.\nWang Po's metal blade fell straightforwardly, chopping apart the pillars of rain, ripping apart the threads of wind, and tearing apart the air.\nWith a screech, a gloomy hole appeared in the rainy street.\nAs long as one was in this world, there was no way to avoid Zhu Luo's sword?" } ]
王破最开始斩向朱洛的那一刀,是他生平最强的一刀,苏离没有任何反应,此时王破收刀而回,他的喝彩声却穿透了暴雨,落在所有人的耳中。 因为场间除了朱洛,便只有他是在神圣领域里行走的强者,只有他才能看懂王破能够收刀而回是多么困难的事情。 而且这一刀斩破了那片湿叶这说明什么？ 一个聚星上境的修行者,能越过门槛看到那个世界的运行规则,这是多么不可思议的事情。 苏离此生见过无数修道天才,亲自教导过秋山君、七间和陈长生,但依然被这一刀蕴藏着的才华所震撼。 雨水洗寒的刀锋与湿漉的落叶在空中相遇。 任何事物湿了就会变重,这片落叶此时重若大山,然而却依然抵不过铁刀的劈斩,只听得轰的一声闷响,那片湿叶变成了无数碎屑,向着四面八方而去,阴暗的雨街上仿佛出现了一个急剧变大的圆球。 狂暴的真元伴着无数的落叶絮丝而去,坚硬的青石地面被射出无数密集的孔洞,早已留下无数刀痕的街畔街壁被切割成沙堆。 王破横刀于前,刀域再布。 他的身体,以及更后方牵着缰绳的陈长生,马背上的苏离,都被护在了铁刀之后。 雨街上响起密集的清脆撞击声,就像数万根针同时落在光滑的金属表面,连绵不绝。 暴雨里的风也变得更加迅疾,吹拂着所有的事物,数里外后方的客栈废墟里,一把精巧的算盘躺在污水中,被风拂动算珠,发出啪啪的脆响,真的很像一首乐曲。 风雨渐止,长街渐静,算盘上的算珠转动着渐渐停下。 王破依然站在原地,一步未让,铁刀依然在手中,没有放下的意思,但他的脸色已经非常苍白,朴素的衣衫上到处都是破口与血迹。 街上一片安静,残存的屋檐上淌着水,嘀嘀嗒嗒的,却没有人会感到心烦,因为没有人会在意这些事情。 王破已经受了极重的伤。 而朱洛直至此时,还并没有真正的出手。 无论怎么看,王破都已经败了,但他毕竟挡住了朱洛片刻,这已经很了不起。 接下来,自然该他来挡了。 朱洛没有留意陈长生的动作,神情微异看着王破说道：“没想到你还没有修至聚星境最巅峰,离半步从圣更是还极遥远,便能窥到神圣领域的边缘法则一二？” 王破说道：“万物同理,世俗与神圣自有相通处。” 朱洛说道：“如此天赋,如此悟性,难怪敢向我出刀……只是又有什么意义？” 是的,对于整件事情来说,王破的才华与坚毅,没有任何意义。 因为他无法战胜朱洛。 朱洛的剑依然在鞘中,便能让逍遥榜的最强者浑身是血,身受重伤。 名动八方,风雨如晦,果然强的难以想象。 二人之间的差距在于年月,在于境界,在于分隔神圣与凡俗的那道深渊,根本不是天赋与意志便能够抹平的,王破岂有不败的道理？ 但有些人不这样看。 “你输了。” 苏离说道。 远处的人群观望着场间,听着这句话,生出很多不解,心想这怎么可能？ 王破此时浑身是血,明明身受重伤,哪里有半点胜机？ 苏离坐在马背上,看着朱洛说道：“输给这样一个晚辈,难道你不觉得丢脸吗？” 朱洛散在肩头的发被风拂着缓缓飘起,双眉同样如此,然而,就在他准备说些什么的时候却又安静下来,低头望向自己,那里没有伤口,也没有血迹,只有一角衣袂缓缓飘落。 他的左袖被割下了极小的一块。 但看着飘落到脚前雨水里的那块布片,朱洛很长时间没有说话。 看着这幕画面,人群安静无声,心想难道真的输了,输在何处？ 没有人懂苏离的话以及朱洛的沉默,陈长生也不懂,梁王孙隐约懂了些。 王破懂,但他不接受。 胜负和输赢从字面上看怎么都是完全相同的意思,只是在某些时刻、某些特定的环境上,你败了不代表你就输了,比如穿着黑白衫的小混混脑袋都被砸进了水泥地里却依然摸了一根木头轻轻砸了绝世大反派的秃头一下这没有意义但他赢了。 苏离自然不会用这样的价值判断来评价王破和朱洛的第一次交手,王破当然是败了,毫无争议、理所当然、天经地义地败了,但他还是认为输的人是朱洛。 朱洛此时的反应,说明在某种程度上他认可苏离的说法。 周独夫三岁的时候,难道就能打败天下无敌手？ 天海娘娘刚进宫那时节,又能打得过谁？ 听上去有些强辞夺理,实际上很有道理,只不过这种道理要放在大陆最强大的这些人的领域里来明的。 陈长生懂了,有些神情茫然地想着,如果按照同年龄来比较,那自己……噢,还有徐有容,还有陈初见姑娘,岂不是最强大的？ 朱洛不语,不悦,微雨落下,不敢接触他身上的大氅,避而飘走。 “当年你能一剑映月杀死第二魔将,现在的你又怎么可能是海笛的对手？ 曾经写诗杀人的潇洒男儿郎,如今已然垂垂老矣,全无锐气,这倒也罢了,偏生你这个人行事又毫不大气,连天海那个女人都比不上,数百年间不敢踏进京都一步,现如今竟想借势杀了可能威胁到自己位置的晚辈,啧啧,你可真够出息的。” 老而不死,是啥？ 是贼,是老贼。 人啊,就和树一样,最茁壮的时候就该拼命地在春风里招摇,活的年头太久还拼死拼活地活着,身躯苍老变成腐木,直到最后被雷电劈成焦灰,这有什么意思？” 朱洛终于开口,望着他说道：“你说完了吗？” 苏离说道：“骂完了。” 朱洛说道：“你说的有理。” 苏离剑眉微挑,来了些兴致,问道：“何如？” 朱洛说道：“这是你的第二剑。” 字字诛心,句句皆剑,苏离重伤难战,但剑心犹在,出言亦能伤人。 苏离静静看着他,确认这个老家伙果然有狂傲绝然的资格,竟没有受到任何影响。 “我接了你两剑,那么,现在也该我出剑了。” 说完这句话,朱洛的右手如龙破层云,来到腰间,握住了剑柄。 阴云重临,大雨重落,天光重暗,落叶重重而至,漫天飞舞于水珠之中。 朱洛抽出鞘中的剑。 云层后是什么？ 是太阳？ 不,那是本不应该出现在人类世界的魔族月亮。 那是朱洛的过往,最大的荣光。 很多年前,他在雪原里,看到那轮明月,吟了一首很美的诗,杀了一个很强的对手,就此成为大陆一代强者,有了月下独酌的称号。 终于,这位强者向浔阳城展示了从圣境界的真实景象。 原来这里的领域不是聚星境的星域的意思,一片光明笼罩所有,根本没有分野,那么该怎样进攻呢？ 他自幼通读道藏,要论起见识与學识,绝对不输于人,却看不懂阴云边缘的光线与那把剑带来的光明,因为神圣领域的运行规则已经超过了他的理解能力。 漆黑的暴雨,明亮的剑,仿佛要燃烧的铅云。 在这样壮观的大背景前,王破的身影显得更加渺小,似乎随时可能被吞噬。 “算了吧”陈长生对着他喊道。 王破没有转身,说道：“我还想再试试,能有这种经验,不容易。” 暴雨冲洗着他的脸,无怖亦无喜,像声音一样,平静的令人心生悸意,心生敬意。 那是真正的平静,朝闻道,夕死可的平静。 陈长生不再多说什么,知道自己又學到了一些东西。 朱洛的剑到了。 世界或者光明,或者黑暗。 剑来,黑暗的风雨挟着光明而来,世界再大,也没有哪个角落可以躲开,王破也没办法躲开。 他再次出刀,毫无新意的笔直挥刀,刀势落处,却新意十足。 他斩的不是那道剑光,不是漫天飞舞的落叶,不是十余丈外的朱洛,而是风雨。 风雨行于空间里。 王破的铁刀,笔直地落下,斩断雨柱,斩碎风缕,斩破了空间。 擦的一声,雨街之上出现一条幽暗的破口。 只要在这个世界之中,便没有任何办法避开朱洛的这一剑？
The first blade Wang Po had struck out at Zhu Luo with was the most powerful strike he had made in his entire life, but Su Li had given no response. Now when Wang Po retrieved his blade, Su Li's acclamation pierced through the downpour and landed in everyone's ear. Because besides Zhu Luo, only Su Li was an expert that walked through the divine domain, and only Su Li could understand just how arduous of a task it was for Wang Po to retrieve his blade. In addition, what did the destruction of the wet leaf at the hands of this blade indicate? It indicated that Wang Po had seen through the sky-spanning storm that Zhu Luo had used to hold him! In his life, Su Li had met countless cultivating geniuses and had personally instructed Qiushan Jun, Qi Jian, and Chen Changsheng. But he had still been shocked by the talent concealed in this blade. The blade edge washed cold by the rain and the soaked fallen leaf met in the air. Anything, once soaked, would get heavier, and this fallen leaf was as weighty as a great mountain, yet even so, it could not resist the cleaving of the blade. With a muffled bang, that wet leaf turned into countless bits and drifted in every direction. It was like a suddenly expanding ball had appeared in the gloomy and rainy street. Berserk true essence accompanied the countless fallen leaves that drifted around like cotton threads. Countless densely packed holes had been scored into the hard gray stone of the ground. The walls of the street had long since been covered by countless blade slashes, but were now chopped into piles of sand. His body, as well as the bodies of Chen Changsheng holding the reins and Su Li on the horse further back, were all protected by his blade. There was an intense clattering sound like countless needles simultaneously landing on a glossy metal surface, unbroken and unending. The wind accompanying the torrential rain also blew more swiftly, gusting up everything. Several li away in the ruins of the inn, an elaborate abacus sat in the filthy water. As the wind blew against the beads of the abacus, they crisply clacked together, sounding just like a song. The storm gradually died down, the long street gradually grew still, and the beads of the abacus gradually ceased to move. Wang Po still stood at his original position, not giving a single step. His metal blade was still in his hands without any intention of being put down. But his face was extremely pale and his plain clothes were scored with tears and streaks of blood. The street was quiet, water dripping from the remaining eaves. Drip drop drip drop. But no one would be bothered by these things, because no one would care about them. Chen Changsheng's hands no longer grasped the reins. His two hands were grasping his dagger while he seriously and attentively looked forward, looking over Wang Po's shoulder at the godlike and unchallengeable expert. Wang Po had already suffered severe injuries, yet at this point, Zhu Luo had not truly attacked. No matter from which angle it was looked at, Wang Po had already lost, but for him to obstruct Zhu Luo for a few moments was still very amazing. Next, it was naturally his turn to obstruct Zhu Luo. Zhu Luo did not pay any attention to Chen Changsheng's movements. His expression a little peculiar, he looked at Wang Po and said, "I didn't expect that even though you hadn't even cultivated to the peak of Star Condensation and were even further from being half a step from the Saint realm, you would still manage to pry into a few laws of the Divine Domain?" Wang Po replied, "The ten thousand things share the same principle, so there are naturally places where the mortal world and the divine intersect." Zhu Luo said, "Such talent, such perception, no wonder you would dare strike at me…but just what meaning is there to it?" Yes, in the general scheme of things, Wang Po's talent and unswerving determination were absolutely meaningless. Because it was impossible for him to defeat Zhu Luo. Zhu Luo's sword was still in its sheath, but Zhu Luo could still drench the number one ranked expert of the Proclamation of Liberation in blood, could still inflict heavy injuries upon his body. A name moves the eight directions, a storm darkens the skies. As expected, they were strong beyond belief. The gap between the two with regards to age, cultivation, and the abyss that separated the divine from the ordinary, was simply impossible to bridge with things like talent and willpower. How could Wang Po have a justification for why he hadn't been defeated? But there were some people that thought differently. "You lost," Su Li said. When the distant crowd of spectators heard this statement, they were filled with confusion. How could this be? Wang Po is covered in blood and is clearly severely wounded; just where can you find a single chance of winning on him? Sitting on the horse, Su Li looked at Zhu Luo and said, "To lose against this sort of junior, don't you feel a little ashamed?" Zhu Luo's hair that spilled onto his shoulders was gently lifted up by the breeze, and his two brows similarly rose up. Yet just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped himself. He lowered his head and looked over himself. There were no wounds, no blood, only a corner of his sleeve slowly drifting to the ground. A tiny piece of his left sleeve had been cut off. Whether it was Zhu Luo or any other cultivator at any sort of realm, none of them would have their strength affected by this in the slightest. But when he saw that piece of cloth gently drift down into the puddle in front of him, Zhu Luo said nothing for a very long time. As the crowd looked on, they made no sound. They all thought to themselves, could it be that he actually lost? But where did he lose? No one understood Su Li's words or Zhu Luo's silence. Chen Changsheng also did not understand while Liang Wangsun vaguely understood a little. Wang Po understood, but he did not accept it. Victory or defeat. Win or lose. From a literal aspect, they both had completely identical meanings. It was only at certain moments, in certain special circumstances, that defeat did not mean you had lost. For instance, if some hooligan dressed in black and white dashed his head against cement but still managed to gently tap the head of some exceptional villain with a piece of wood, although it was meaningless, he had still won. Su Li would naturally use this sort of worth to judge Wang Po and Zhu Luo's first exchange. Of course Wang Po had been defeated. It was uncontroversial, right and inevitable, in accord with the laws of heaven and the principles of the earth that he had been defeated, but Su Li still thought that it was Zhu Luo who had lost. Zhu Luo's reactions indicated that to some degree, he acknowledged Su Li's words. ‘When Zhou Dufu was three years old, could he possibly have had the ability to defeat the world and be without adversary? When the Tianhai Empress first entered the palace, just who could she beat? If you were as old as Wang Po right now, could you beat him?’ These were the words Su Li said to Zhu Luo. This reasoning seemed somewhat fallacious, but it was actually very reasonable. It was just that this argument had to involve the supreme experts of the continent before it could be understood. Chen Changsheng understood. With a rather vacant look on his face, he began to think, if we compare in terms of people who are the same age as me, then I...ah, there's still Xu Yourong and lady Chen Chujian; how could I be the strongest? Su Li did not know what Chen Changsheng was thinking about, or else he would definitely tease him a little. He continued to say to Zhu Luo, "There's still another problem: you retreated too fiercely." Zhu Luo said nothing. The fine rain fell down, but it did not dare to touch the cape over his body and floated away to avoid it. "Back then, with your one sword reflecting the moon, you could kill the second Demon General in one blow. But now, how could you possibly be Hai Di's opponent? Once you were a confident youth who could write poems and kill his enemies, but now you've already gotten old, lacking any of the drive. If that were all, fine. But contrary to expectations, your manner is not at all imposing, not even comparable to that woman Tianhai. In the past several hundred years, you didn't even dare to take a single step into the capital. Today, you want to take an opportunity to kill a junior that might threaten your position. Tsk, tsk, you really have grown up." Su Li continued, "Why? You're old—almost a thousand years old—and should have died a long time ago. To be old and not die, what is that? It's a thief, an old thief. Ah, people. They're just like trees. When they're at their healthiest and sturdiest, they should do their best to brag in the spring wind. When they grow too old and still cling desperately to their lives, their bodies will grow old and their wood will rot, until finally a lightning bolt cleaves down and turns them into burnt ash. Just what meaning is there in that?" Zhu Luo finally opened his mouth and said to Su Li, "Are you done speaking?" Su Li replied, "I'm done scolding." Zhu Luo replied, "What you say is reasonable." Su Li's sword-like brows perked upwards and he said with some interest, "How about it?" Zhu Luo responded, "This is your second sword." Every word condemning, every phrase like a sword—although Su Li was so wounded that he couldn't fight, he still had his sword heart. His spoken words also had the ability to wound others. Su Li calmly looked at him and confirmed that this old fellow truly had the qualification to be absolutely arrogant. He actually hadn't been the least bit affected. "I've received two of your swords. Then, it should be my turn to take out my sword." With these words, Zhu Luo's right hand descended like a dragon breaking through the clouds. It came to his waist and gripped the hilt of his sword. The dark clouds grew heavier, the dense rain fell, the skies grew darker, and the leaves fell layer upon layer, dancing in between the droplets of rain as they filled the sky. Zhu Luo extracted his sword from its sheath. This sword was not very bright and didn't seem very unusual. Yet the edges of the dark clouds that shrouded Xunyang City abruptly grew brighter, as if they had been plated with silver. Was it a halo of light? What was behind the layer of clouds? Was it the sun? No, it was that which should never have appeared in the world of humans: the Moon of the demons. In Zhu Luo's past, this had been his greatest glory. Many years ago, on the snowy plains, he saw the bright moon, recited a very beautiful poem, and slew a very powerful opponent. Just like that, he became one of the supreme experts of the continent and obtained the title of Solitary Drunk Under the Moon. At last, this expert displayed to Xunyang City the true sight of the Saint Realm. Separated by layers and layers of heavy rain and innumerable fallen leaves, Chen Changsheng still sensed the boundless and dignified strength of that light. He felt his body become more rigid, so much that he subconsciously wanted to flee. Was this the Saint Realm? Originally, ‘domain’ here had not referred to the Star Domain of the Star Condensation Realm. A light enveloped all with no boundary of any sort. Then how could one attack it? He had studied the Daoist Canon since he was a child, and in terms of experience and learning, he wouldn't lose to anyone. Yet he could not understand the light at the edge of the dark clouds and the light brought by that sword, because the laws and operations of the Divine Domain had already surpassed his ability to understand. The pitch-black rain, the shining sword, the leaden clouds which seemed ready to ignite. Before such a spectacular backdrop, Wang Po's figure seemed all the more insignificant, as if it could be swallowed up at any moment. "Forget it!" Chen Changsheng yelled at him. Wang Po did not turn around. "I still want to try. It's not easy to get this sort of experience." The downpour washed his face that was without fear and without joy. Just like his voice, it was so calm that it would make the heart tremble and feel respect. Chen Changsheng said no more. He knew that he had once again learned a few more things. The world was maybe bright, or maybe dark. As the sword came, the dark storm came holding the light. No matter how vast the world was, there would still be no place to hide. Wang Po also had no way to hide. He once again struck out with his blade. He brandished his blade in the same old, straightforward style, but the place where the blade energy landed was completely different. He did not cleave at the sword glow, not at the sky of dancing leaves, not at Zhu Luo ten-odd zhang away, but at the storm. Wang Po's metal blade fell straightforwardly, chopping apart the pillars of rain, ripping apart the threads of wind, and tearing apart the air. With a screech, a gloomy hole appeared in the rainy street. As long as one was in this world, there was no way to avoid Zhu Luo's sword?

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 435.第435章\n这只斑驳不纯的小蝎子，是赵峰之前在山穴中得到的巨蝎幼崽。\n此蝎崽的血脉品级，不仅继承于那恐怖的上古巨蝎，自身还是变异的品种，未来潜力不可估量。\n“这只变异蝎崽，尽管其实力难以威胁真灵境，但它完整继承了上古巨蝎的剧毒，甚至有一定异变因素。”\n赵峰目光轻闪。\n理论上说，巨蝎幼崽的剧毒，能毒杀真灵境，前提是能划破皮肉防御。\n巨蝎幼崽还有一个优势，那就是体积小，很容易被忽略。\n念及此处，赵峰心头暗暗一叹。\n如果在正常情况下，这变异血脉的巨蝎幼崽，他定会悉心培养，未来有望成为身边的左膀右臂，地位仅次于小贼猫。\n就算赵峰本人无力培养，将巨蝎幼崽转让出去，譬如放在“升龙拍卖会”上竞拍，绝对能卖出一个天价。\n然而在这最危急紧要的关头，赵峰不得不做出取舍。\n为了抵挡吕天一，进一步赢得时间，他已经损失了一只真主级的银血僵尸。\n银血僵尸的损失，让赵峰对吕天一的战力情况，有了更精确的把握。\n赵峰要达到目的，眼下的两具暗银毒尸和巨蝎幼崽，都可能要牺牲。\n对此，赵峰并没有太多犹豫。 因为他从参天树妖这里的获益，远远超出损失。\n木灵精魄将赵峰的心魂，壮大到一个极限，超出真主级巅峰。 这将大大提升赵峰血脉眼瞳的威力，丹元境之下，绝大多数真主，都难以抵挡赵峰的血脉瞳术。\n并且，这仅仅是木灵精魄短暂带来的效益，木灵精魄中，还有更多生命体悟和一部分精魄奥义，被神灵眼吸收储存。\n有此获益，赵峰未来若想突破丹元境尊者，成功率将比一般真主级高十倍不止！\n相比之下，损失一两具真主级鬼尸，或者一只巨蝎幼崽，就显得微不足道了。\n赵峰目光冷静，异常果断的做出决定。\n喵喵！ 小贼猫突然在肩膀上浮现，一跃而起，它的体型，比巨蝎幼崽，也只大几分。\n赵峰与小贼猫意念间交流。\n此时，吕天一恢复正常，朝参天树妖接近，单掌一挥，金灿灿的巨大掌影，摧枯拉朽般，“咔嚓嚓”震碎一些枝叶。\n参天树妖挥舞枝干，发动疯狂反击，阻止吕天一前进的步伐。\n吕天一的目标，并不是树妖，而是枝叶深处的赵峰。\n放眼十大真主天才，恐怕唯有吕天一有这个底气，敢单枪匹马杀进树妖的领域，对赵峰实施“斩首”。\n“人类啊，我恐怕阻挡不了他几息时间。”\n参天树妖残喘无力的声音传来。\n由于木灵精魄的大量流失，它的战力只有巅峰时期一半左右，很难阻挡吕天一。\n冰魂之眸！\n赵峰的心神意识，再次从躯壳中消失。\n吕天一身形一顿，心神意识，乃至身体，仿佛被冰凝一般，显得异常僵冷、缓慢。 喵喵！\n小贼猫从赵峰肩膀上消失。\n唰唰！ 随之一起“消失”的，还有那只更不起眼的巨蝎幼崽。\n两只暗银毒尸，并列赵峰左右，并没有出手。\n“小贼猫，就看你的了。”\n赵峰居高空俯瞰，以冰魂之眸锁定“吕天一”。\n在跨空之眸状态下，冰魂之眸的合天地之威，强如吕天一，速度动作，都被削弱到极致。\n让赵峰惊喜的是，小贼猫不但能隐身，还能带着那只变异巨蝎幼崽一起隐身。\n赵峰拥有“阴影披风”这件传承之宝，也可以隐匿，但是只限于自己，想带其他人一起隐身，却是做不到。\n由此可见，小贼猫在成长过程中，其各项能力都有所提升。\n赵峰倒有些期待，小贼猫会通过什么方式，帮自己减少“损失”，最大程度的延缓吕天一的步伐。\n以目前的情况看，想斩杀吕天一，基本不可能。\n赵峰从始至终，都是一个“拖”字诀，最大限度延缓了吕天一的逼近。\n通过“弥天之眸”，赵峰能隐约捕捉到小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽隐行状态下的痕迹。\n“恐怕丹元境层次之下，难有人能察觉小贼猫的近身。”\n赵峰暗暗点头。 可以说，小贼猫就是天生的贼，天生的暗夜杀手。\n恐怕只有赵峰，拥有神灵眼，能克制小贼猫的这种天赋。\n直当小贼猫接近吕天一二十丈范围，后者都没有察觉。\n这一刻，赵峰心神也绷紧了。\n二十丈……十五丈……十丈……眼看小贼猫带着巨蝎幼崽，一点点靠近吕天一。\n当小贼猫接近五六丈时，吕天一突然轻“咦”一声，似有察觉。\n他的修为境界，毕竟是半步丹元境，基本超出真灵三境天的层次，哪怕被冰魂之眸锁定，最终也有所感应。\n赵峰心里“咯噔”一声。\n他可是非常明白吕天一的可怕，哪怕是自动运转的护体真灵之光，就能震死实力弱点的真主。\n此刻。 吕天一只要迸发真灵之气，就能瞬间震死小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽。\n小贼猫的实际战力，最多接近真主，其实力主要体现在特殊天赋和能力上。\n小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽，突然暴露身形，飞速逼近吕天一。\n小贼猫飞速靠近！\n小贼猫用玄蛇血鞭，缠拖着巨蝎幼崽，飞快逼近吕天一。\n四五丈距离，对小贼猫来说，半息不到，就可以逼近。\n面对骤然逼近的小贼猫，吕天一因为被冰魂之眸遏制，无力躲闪或者作出防御。\n一旦小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽靠近，吕天一单凭护体真灵之光，就能将它们震成齑粉。\n“小贼猫，凭借你们的能力，绝难破开吕天一的防御。 这一点，你应该清楚。”\n赵峰的视线，在云际间，掌控全局。\n眼看小贼猫把巨蝎幼崽，带到了吕天一近前。\n吕天一早有准备，甚至是提前爆发护体真灵之光，一片绚丽金色光澜，狂扫方圆几十丈，足以震杀普通的真主。\n赵峰一颗心，也提到了嗓子眼。\n他的神灵眼，对敌我实力的评估，十分精确：小贼猫或者巨蝎幼崽，在吕天一面前，根本没有反抗之力。\n且不说他们，就算是赵峰，一旦被吕天一接近，也有可能被秒杀。\n吕天一身上爆发的金色光澜，把周围的树妖枝叶，摧成了飞灰。 乍然一看，吕天一周身一片区域，仿佛凭空蒸发了一般。\n与此同时，参天树妖发出一阵无力低吟。\n“小贼猫！”\n后方观战的叶嫣雨，不由惊呼一声，面色有些差。\n对于小贼猫，她终究有一丝特殊的感情，尽管贼猫和赵峰曾联手算计过她。\n现在眼看小贼猫被灭杀，叶嫣雨于心不忍。\n“赵峰贼子！ 你竟这般狠心，让小贼猫去送死。”\n叶嫣雨皓齿一咬，抬头望向云际间的弥天之眸。\n弥天之眸，与赵峰的左眸，外观形态上，基本是一样，就似一种扩大版。 此刻。\n那弥天之眸，神情冷漠，没有一丝感情波动。 似乎，小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽的死，没有给赵峰带来任何一丝情绪波动。\n弥天之眸散发奇寒彻魂的力量，仍然锁定着吕天一。\n“哈哈哈……你还有多少炮灰，都一起送上来吧。”\n他速度尽管受限，却仍在一点点接近赵峰。\n隐约间。 吕天一看到了繁盛枝叶间伫立的蓝发少年身影，如同一个没有灵魂的躯壳，一动不动。\n蓝发少年的身侧，还有两具暗银毒尸。\n吕天一嘴角抹过一丝残忍，大笑起来。\n“赵峰哥，遗迹宝殿将在三息内降临。”\n一个柔悦的女子声音，在赵峰脑海浮现。\n“好，一切就绪。”\n赵峰点了点头，稍松一口气。\n从这一刻开始。 只需数三声，遗迹宝殿就会降临，赵峰的任务，就能完成。\n三息内，吕天一铁定能靠近赵峰。\n赵峰估摸着，在正常情况下，哪怕自己能坚持过去，剩下两具暗银毒尸，难逃一劫，可谓损失惨重。\n“小贼猫，你果然高明。”\n一个声音于冥冥的精神世界响起。\n下一刻。\n喵喵！\n一个巴掌大的银灰色小猫，“唰”凭空浮现在吕天一面前。\n参天树妖残喘无力的声音传来。\n这一点，你应该清楚。”\n一只婴儿手掌大的“幼蝎”，被小贼猫挥鞭一甩，“嗖”的一声，钻进了吕天一正在大笑的嘴中。.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Chapter 435 - Little Thieving Cat’s Turn\nThis dotted little scorpion was the one that Zhao Feng had found in the cave.\nThis youngling scorpion’s bloodline rank wasn’t any weaker than the ancient giant scorpions and it was a varied type whose future was immeasurable.\n“Although this scorpion’s strength can’t threaten those at the True Spirit Realm, its inherited all of the ancient scorpion’s poison and maybe even stronger.”\nZhao Feng’s eyes flashed.\nTheoretically, the poison of the youngling scorpion is able to kill those at the True Spirit Realm, but under the condition that it was able to slice through the opponent’s skin and draw blood first.\nAnother advantage of the youngling scorpion was that it was small and easy to be ignored.\nThinking up to here, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.\nUnder normal situations, he would definitely raise this youngling scorpion by himself. It had the chance to become his left and right arms and status only below the little thieving cat.\nEven if Zhao Feng couldn’t raise it himself, he could sell this youngling scorpion like on the Rising Dragon Auction which would sell for a high price.\nHowever, at this critical moment, Zhao Feng had to make choices.\nHe had already lost a True Lord Rank ghost corpse trying to stop Lu Tianyi and win time.\nThe loss of the silver blood ghost corpse allowed Zhao Feng to understand Lu Tianyi’s strength more.\nAnd now Zhao Feng’s two dark silver poison corpses and youngling scorpion might need to be sacrificed.\nHowever, Zhao Feng didn’t hesitate too much because the benefits from the Towering Tree Yao was worth far more.\nThe Wood Spirit Essence Soul had strengthened Zhao Feng’s soul to the peak True Lord Rank and greatly increased the power of Zhao Feng’s eye. Most of the True Lord Ranks under the Origin Core Realm wouldn’t able to be able to stop Zhao Feng’s eye bloodline.\nFurthermore, even though this was just a temporary rise, the Wood Spirit Essence Soul contained laws of life which were stored by the God’s Spiritual Eye.\nWith these benefits, Zhao Feng had a more than ten times higher chance of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm than other normal True Lord Ranks.\nCompared with this, the loss of one or two True Lord Rank ghost corpses or the youngling scorpion was nothing.\nZhao Feng’s eyes were calm and made decisive choices.\nMiao Miao! The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Its size was only slightly bigger than the youngling scorpions. “You want to attack?”\nZhao Feng communicated with the little thieving cat.\nAt this moment in time, Lu Tianyi had recovered and was closing in on the Towering Tree Yao. He thrust out his palm and a golden glow appeared which smashed through branches. Booom Peng!\nThe Towering Tree Yao waved its branches chaotically as it fought back and tried to stop Lu Tianyi’s footsteps.\nLu Tianyi’s target wasn’t the Towering Tree Yao but Zhao Feng who was in the depths of the branches.\nAmongst the Ten True Lord Ranks, probably only Lu Tianyi had the strength to charge into the Towering Tree Yao’s territory and try to slay Zhao Feng alone.\n“Human, I can’t stop him for much longer.”\nThe Towering Tree Yao’s helpless and puffing voice sounded.\nDue to the loss of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, its battle power was only half of its peak and couldn’t stop Lu Tianyi.\nEye of Ice Soul!\nMiao Miao! The little thieving cat disappeared from Zhao Feng’s shoulder.\nSiiii----- Lu Tianyi’s figure trembled as his mind and body slowed down.\nThe little thieving cat disappeared from Zhao Feng’s shoulder.\nShua Shua! Along with it’s, disappearance was the youngling scorpion.\nThe two dark silver poison corpses stood on Zhao Feng’s left and right and didn’t attack.\n“Little thieving cat, it’s up to you.”\nZhao Feng coldly gazed down at Lu Tianyi with his Eye of Ice Soul.\nUnder this state, the Eye of Ice Soul’s power was greatly increased and was able to slow down Lu Tianyi.\nWhat made Zhao Feng surprised was that the little thieving cat not only could make itself invisible, it could also make the youngling scorpion invisible.\nAlthough Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak, an inheritance treasure which could stealth himself, it was limited to himself and couldn’t make others invisible with him.\nFrom this one could see that as the little thieving cat grew, its abilities also became stronger.\nZhao Feng was expectant of what the little thieving cat would do to try and stop or slow down Lu Tianyi’s footsteps.\nFrom the current situation, it was almost impossible to kill Lu Tianyi.\nFrom the beginning to end, Zhao Feng focused on the words ‘slow down’, and tried his best to slow down Lu Tianyi’s approach.\nThrough the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng was able to faintly catch traces of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion which were invisible.\n“It’s almost impossible for those under the Origin Core Realm to detect the little thieving cat.”\nZhao Feng nodded his head. It could be said that the little thieving cat was a natural thief that thrived in darkness.\nProbably only Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye could counter the little thieving cat’s talent.\nEven when the little thieving cat was within twenty yards of Lu Tianyi, the latter didn’t realize anything.\nAt this instance, Zhao Feng’s heart tightened.\nTwenty yards… fifteen yards…. Ten yards…. The little thieving cat took the youngling scorpion and closed in on Lu Tianyi.\nOnly when the little thieving cat was five or six yards away did Lu Tianyi seem to detect something.\nAfter all, his cultivation had reached the half step Origin Core Realm and had almost exceeded the True Spirit Realm. Even though he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul he sensed something.\nLu Tianyi’s actions didn’t escape Zhao Feng’s eyes.\nZhao Feng’s heart shook. He knew how terrifying Lu Tianyi was and just the circulation of his protecting Qi of True Spirit was able to kill some weaker True Lords.\nAt this point, all Lu Tianyi needed to do was release his Qi of True Spirit and it was enough to kill the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion.\nThe little thieving cat’s true battle power was at most only close to the True Lord Rank and specialized in its talent and abilities. Sou!\nThe little thieving cat and youngling scorpion suddenly revealed themselves and charged at Lu Tianyi.\nThe little thieving cat quickly closed in.\nThe youngling scorpion’s speed obviously wasn’t as fast as the little thieving cat’s but the latter had used its Mystic Snake Blood Whip to wrap around the youngling scorpion and quickly flew towards Lu Tianyi.\nThe distance of four to five yards was less than half a breath for the little thieving cat.\nFacing the sudden appearance of the little thieving cat, Lu Tianyi wasn’t able to dodge or evade as he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul.\nOnce the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion got close Lu Tianyi could kill the two just with his protective Qi of True Spirit.\n“Little thieving cat, you should know that you can’t break through Lu Tianyi’s defense with your power.”\nZhao Feng’s eye still remained in the sky and looked down. Sou! Xiu---\nAs the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion arrived in front of Lu Tianyi.\n“Die!” Lu Tianyi was ready and released his Qi of True Spirit into a golden wave of light that swept across dozens of yards, enough to kill normal True Lord Ranks.\nZhao Feng’s heart reached his throat.\nHis God’s Spiritual Eye was extremely precise in analyzing strength: the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion had no power to fight back against Lu Tianyi.\nPutting them aside, even Zhao Feng might be instantly killed by Lu Tianyi if the latter got close. Boom!!!!\nLu Tianyi’s boy released a surge of gold light that turned the leaves and branches of the Towering Tree Yao into dust.\nThe area surrounding Lu Tianyi seemed to have evaporated and the Towering Tree Yao moaned powerlessly at the same time.\n“Little thieving cat!”\nYe Yanyu who was spectating from behind exclaimed with an ugly expression.\nShe had a special feeling towards the little thieving cat even if it had teamed up with Zhao Feng and calculated her.\nShe felt unwilling and sad at the little thieving cat’s death.\n“Bastard Zhao Feng, how can you be so cold-hearted to send the little thieving cat to its death?”\nYe Yanyu bit her lips and looked at the Eye of Heaven in the sky.\nThe Eye of Heaven was just a larger version of Zhao Feng’s left eye.\nAt this instance, the Eye of Heaven was cold and emotionless. It was as if the death of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion didn’t bring any emotion into Zhao Feng.\nThe Eye of Heaven still released a cold energy that locked onto Lu Tianyi.\n“Hahaha….. You can send all the cannon fodder you have.” Lu Tianyi laughed.\nAlthough his speed was limited, he still approached Zhao Feng bit by bit.\nFaintly. Lu Tianyi saw a blue-haired youth in the depths of the branches. It seemed soulless and didn’t move.\nNext to the blue haired youth were two dark silver poison corpses.\nA gruesome smile appeared on Lu Tianyi’s face as he started to laugh.\n“Brother Zhao Feng, the Ruins Treasured Palace will descend in three breaths.”\nA soft voice of a female sounded in Zhao Feng’s mind.\n“Good.”\nZhao Feng nodded his head and let out a breath.\nFrom this moment onwards, in the count of three, the Ruins Treasured palace would descend and Zhao Feng’s mission would be complete.\nHowever, Lu Tianyi would definitely be able to get close to Zhao Feng in three breaths time.\nZhao Feng estimated that even if he survived the two dark silver poison corpses wouldn’t be able to. “Zhao Feng… no matter how cold and calculating you are, you still can’t escape death.”\n“Little thieving cat, you are indeed smart.”\nA sound reverberated across the mental energy dimension.\nIn the next instant.\nMiao Miao!\nA small grey cat the size of a palm appeared right in front of Lu Tianyi.

435.第435章 这只斑驳不纯的小蝎子，是赵峰之前在山穴中得到的巨蝎幼崽。 此蝎崽的血脉品级，不仅继承于那恐怖的上古巨蝎，自身还是变异的品种，未来潜力不可估量。 “这只变异蝎崽，尽管其实力难以威胁真灵境，但它完整继承了上古巨蝎的剧毒，甚至有一定异变因素。” 赵峰目光轻闪。 理论上说，巨蝎幼崽的剧毒，能毒杀真灵境，前提是能划破皮肉防御。 巨蝎幼崽还有一个优势，那就是体积小，很容易被忽略。 念及此处，赵峰心头暗暗一叹。 如果在正常情况下，这变异血脉的巨蝎幼崽，他定会悉心培养，未来有望成为身边的左膀右臂，地位仅次于小贼猫。 就算赵峰本人无力培养，将巨蝎幼崽转让出去，譬如放在“升龙拍卖会”上竞拍，绝对能卖出一个天价。 然而在这最危急紧要的关头，赵峰不得不做出取舍。 为了抵挡吕天一，进一步赢得时间，他已经损失了一只真主级的银血僵尸。 银血僵尸的损失，让赵峰对吕天一的战力情况，有了更精确的把握。 赵峰要达到目的，眼下的两具暗银毒尸和巨蝎幼崽，都可能要牺牲。 对此，赵峰并没有太多犹豫。 因为他从参天树妖这里的获益，远远超出损失。 木灵精魄将赵峰的心魂，壮大到一个极限，超出真主级巅峰。 这将大大提升赵峰血脉眼瞳的威力，丹元境之下，绝大多数真主，都难以抵挡赵峰的血脉瞳术。 并且，这仅仅是木灵精魄短暂带来的效益，木灵精魄中，还有更多生命体悟和一部分精魄奥义，被神灵眼吸收储存。 有此获益，赵峰未来若想突破丹元境尊者，成功率将比一般真主级高十倍不止！ 相比之下，损失一两具真主级鬼尸，或者一只巨蝎幼崽，就显得微不足道了。 赵峰目光冷静，异常果断的做出决定。 喵喵！ 小贼猫突然在肩膀上浮现，一跃而起，它的体型，比巨蝎幼崽，也只大几分。 赵峰与小贼猫意念间交流。 此时，吕天一恢复正常，朝参天树妖接近，单掌一挥，金灿灿的巨大掌影，摧枯拉朽般，“咔嚓嚓”震碎一些枝叶。 参天树妖挥舞枝干，发动疯狂反击，阻止吕天一前进的步伐。 吕天一的目标，并不是树妖，而是枝叶深处的赵峰。 放眼十大真主天才，恐怕唯有吕天一有这个底气，敢单枪匹马杀进树妖的领域，对赵峰实施“斩首”。 “人类啊，我恐怕阻挡不了他几息时间。” 参天树妖残喘无力的声音传来。 由于木灵精魄的大量流失，它的战力只有巅峰时期一半左右，很难阻挡吕天一。 冰魂之眸！ 赵峰的心神意识，再次从躯壳中消失。 吕天一身形一顿，心神意识，乃至身体，仿佛被冰凝一般，显得异常僵冷、缓慢。 喵喵！ 小贼猫从赵峰肩膀上消失。 唰唰！ 随之一起“消失”的，还有那只更不起眼的巨蝎幼崽。 两只暗银毒尸，并列赵峰左右，并没有出手。 “小贼猫，就看你的了。” 赵峰居高空俯瞰，以冰魂之眸锁定“吕天一”。 在跨空之眸状态下，冰魂之眸的合天地之威，强如吕天一，速度动作，都被削弱到极致。 让赵峰惊喜的是，小贼猫不但能隐身，还能带着那只变异巨蝎幼崽一起隐身。 赵峰拥有“阴影披风”这件传承之宝，也可以隐匿，但是只限于自己，想带其他人一起隐身，却是做不到。 由此可见，小贼猫在成长过程中，其各项能力都有所提升。 赵峰倒有些期待，小贼猫会通过什么方式，帮自己减少“损失”，最大程度的延缓吕天一的步伐。 以目前的情况看，想斩杀吕天一，基本不可能。 赵峰从始至终，都是一个“拖”字诀，最大限度延缓了吕天一的逼近。 通过“弥天之眸”，赵峰能隐约捕捉到小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽隐行状态下的痕迹。 “恐怕丹元境层次之下，难有人能察觉小贼猫的近身。” 赵峰暗暗点头。 可以说，小贼猫就是天生的贼，天生的暗夜杀手。 恐怕只有赵峰，拥有神灵眼，能克制小贼猫的这种天赋。 直当小贼猫接近吕天一二十丈范围，后者都没有察觉。 这一刻，赵峰心神也绷紧了。 二十丈……十五丈……十丈……眼看小贼猫带着巨蝎幼崽，一点点靠近吕天一。 当小贼猫接近五六丈时，吕天一突然轻“咦”一声，似有察觉。 他的修为境界，毕竟是半步丹元境，基本超出真灵三境天的层次，哪怕被冰魂之眸锁定，最终也有所感应。 赵峰心里“咯噔”一声。 他可是非常明白吕天一的可怕，哪怕是自动运转的护体真灵之光，就能震死实力弱点的真主。 此刻。 吕天一只要迸发真灵之气，就能瞬间震死小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽。 小贼猫的实际战力，最多接近真主，其实力主要体现在特殊天赋和能力上。 小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽，突然暴露身形，飞速逼近吕天一。 小贼猫飞速靠近！ 小贼猫用玄蛇血鞭，缠拖着巨蝎幼崽，飞快逼近吕天一。 四五丈距离，对小贼猫来说，半息不到，就可以逼近。 面对骤然逼近的小贼猫，吕天一因为被冰魂之眸遏制，无力躲闪或者作出防御。 一旦小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽靠近，吕天一单凭护体真灵之光，就能将它们震成齑粉。 “小贼猫，凭借你们的能力，绝难破开吕天一的防御。 这一点，你应该清楚。” 赵峰的视线，在云际间，掌控全局。 眼看小贼猫把巨蝎幼崽，带到了吕天一近前。 吕天一早有准备，甚至是提前爆发护体真灵之光，一片绚丽金色光澜，狂扫方圆几十丈，足以震杀普通的真主。 赵峰一颗心，也提到了嗓子眼。 他的神灵眼，对敌我实力的评估，十分精确：小贼猫或者巨蝎幼崽，在吕天一面前，根本没有反抗之力。 且不说他们，就算是赵峰，一旦被吕天一接近，也有可能被秒杀。 吕天一身上爆发的金色光澜，把周围的树妖枝叶，摧成了飞灰。 乍然一看，吕天一周身一片区域，仿佛凭空蒸发了一般。 与此同时，参天树妖发出一阵无力低吟。 “小贼猫！” 后方观战的叶嫣雨，不由惊呼一声，面色有些差。 对于小贼猫，她终究有一丝特殊的感情，尽管贼猫和赵峰曾联手算计过她。 现在眼看小贼猫被灭杀，叶嫣雨于心不忍。 “赵峰贼子！ 你竟这般狠心，让小贼猫去送死。” 叶嫣雨皓齿一咬，抬头望向云际间的弥天之眸。 弥天之眸，与赵峰的左眸，外观形态上，基本是一样，就似一种扩大版。 此刻。 那弥天之眸，神情冷漠，没有一丝感情波动。 似乎，小贼猫和巨蝎幼崽的死，没有给赵峰带来任何一丝情绪波动。 弥天之眸散发奇寒彻魂的力量，仍然锁定着吕天一。 “哈哈哈……你还有多少炮灰，都一起送上来吧。” 他速度尽管受限，却仍在一点点接近赵峰。 隐约间。 吕天一看到了繁盛枝叶间伫立的蓝发少年身影，如同一个没有灵魂的躯壳，一动不动。 蓝发少年的身侧，还有两具暗银毒尸。 吕天一嘴角抹过一丝残忍，大笑起来。 “赵峰哥，遗迹宝殿将在三息内降临。” 一个柔悦的女子声音，在赵峰脑海浮现。 “好，一切就绪。” 赵峰点了点头，稍松一口气。 从这一刻开始。 只需数三声，遗迹宝殿就会降临，赵峰的任务，就能完成。 三息内，吕天一铁定能靠近赵峰。 赵峰估摸着，在正常情况下，哪怕自己能坚持过去，剩下两具暗银毒尸，难逃一劫，可谓损失惨重。 “小贼猫，你果然高明。” 一个声音于冥冥的精神世界响起。 下一刻。 喵喵！ 一个巴掌大的银灰色小猫，“唰”凭空浮现在吕天一面前。 参天树妖残喘无力的声音传来。 这一点，你应该清楚。” 一只婴儿手掌大的“幼蝎”，被小贼猫挥鞭一甩，“嗖”的一声，钻进了吕天一正在大笑的嘴中。
Chapter 435 - Little Thieving Cat’s Turn This dotted little scorpion was the one that Zhao Feng had found in the cave. This youngling scorpion’s bloodline rank wasn’t any weaker than the ancient giant scorpions and it was a varied type whose future was immeasurable. “Although this scorpion’s strength can’t threaten those at the True Spirit Realm, its inherited all of the ancient scorpion’s poison and maybe even stronger.” Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed. Theoretically, the poison of the youngling scorpion is able to kill those at the True Spirit Realm, but under the condition that it was able to slice through the opponent’s skin and draw blood first. Another advantage of the youngling scorpion was that it was small and easy to be ignored. Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Under normal situations, he would definitely raise this youngling scorpion by himself. It had the chance to become his left and right arms and status only below the little thieving cat. Even if Zhao Feng couldn’t raise it himself, he could sell this youngling scorpion like on the Rising Dragon Auction which would sell for a high price. However, at this critical moment, Zhao Feng had to make choices. He had already lost a True Lord Rank ghost corpse trying to stop Lu Tianyi and win time. The loss of the silver blood ghost corpse allowed Zhao Feng to understand Lu Tianyi’s strength more. And now Zhao Feng’s two dark silver poison corpses and youngling scorpion might need to be sacrificed. However, Zhao Feng didn’t hesitate too much because the benefits from the Towering Tree Yao was worth far more. The Wood Spirit Essence Soul had strengthened Zhao Feng’s soul to the peak True Lord Rank and greatly increased the power of Zhao Feng’s eye. Most of the True Lord Ranks under the Origin Core Realm wouldn’t able to be able to stop Zhao Feng’s eye bloodline. Furthermore, even though this was just a temporary rise, the Wood Spirit Essence Soul contained laws of life which were stored by the God’s Spiritual Eye. With these benefits, Zhao Feng had a more than ten times higher chance of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm than other normal True Lord Ranks. Compared with this, the loss of one or two True Lord Rank ghost corpses or the youngling scorpion was nothing. Zhao Feng’s eyes were calm and made decisive choices. Miao Miao! The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Its size was only slightly bigger than the youngling scorpions. “You want to attack?” Zhao Feng communicated with the little thieving cat. At this moment in time, Lu Tianyi had recovered and was closing in on the Towering Tree Yao. He thrust out his palm and a golden glow appeared which smashed through branches. Booom Peng! The Towering Tree Yao waved its branches chaotically as it fought back and tried to stop Lu Tianyi’s footsteps. Lu Tianyi’s target wasn’t the Towering Tree Yao but Zhao Feng who was in the depths of the branches. Amongst the Ten True Lord Ranks, probably only Lu Tianyi had the strength to charge into the Towering Tree Yao’s territory and try to slay Zhao Feng alone. “Human, I can’t stop him for much longer.” The Towering Tree Yao’s helpless and puffing voice sounded. Due to the loss of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, its battle power was only half of its peak and couldn’t stop Lu Tianyi. Eye of Ice Soul! Miao Miao! The little thieving cat disappeared from Zhao Feng’s shoulder. Siiii----- Lu Tianyi’s figure trembled as his mind and body slowed down. The little thieving cat disappeared from Zhao Feng’s shoulder. Shua Shua! Along with it’s, disappearance was the youngling scorpion. The two dark silver poison corpses stood on Zhao Feng’s left and right and didn’t attack. “Little thieving cat, it’s up to you.” Zhao Feng coldly gazed down at Lu Tianyi with his Eye of Ice Soul. Under this state, the Eye of Ice Soul’s power was greatly increased and was able to slow down Lu Tianyi. What made Zhao Feng surprised was that the little thieving cat not only could make itself invisible, it could also make the youngling scorpion invisible. Although Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak, an inheritance treasure which could stealth himself, it was limited to himself and couldn’t make others invisible with him. From this one could see that as the little thieving cat grew, its abilities also became stronger. Zhao Feng was expectant of what the little thieving cat would do to try and stop or slow down Lu Tianyi’s footsteps. From the current situation, it was almost impossible to kill Lu Tianyi. From the beginning to end, Zhao Feng focused on the words ‘slow down’, and tried his best to slow down Lu Tianyi’s approach. Through the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng was able to faintly catch traces of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion which were invisible. “It’s almost impossible for those under the Origin Core Realm to detect the little thieving cat.” Zhao Feng nodded his head. It could be said that the little thieving cat was a natural thief that thrived in darkness. Probably only Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye could counter the little thieving cat’s talent. Even when the little thieving cat was within twenty yards of Lu Tianyi, the latter didn’t realize anything. At this instance, Zhao Feng’s heart tightened. Twenty yards… fifteen yards…. Ten yards…. The little thieving cat took the youngling scorpion and closed in on Lu Tianyi. Only when the little thieving cat was five or six yards away did Lu Tianyi seem to detect something. After all, his cultivation had reached the half step Origin Core Realm and had almost exceeded the True Spirit Realm. Even though he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul he sensed something. Lu Tianyi’s actions didn’t escape Zhao Feng’s eyes. Zhao Feng’s heart shook. He knew how terrifying Lu Tianyi was and just the circulation of his protecting Qi of True Spirit was able to kill some weaker True Lords. At this point, all Lu Tianyi needed to do was release his Qi of True Spirit and it was enough to kill the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion. The little thieving cat’s true battle power was at most only close to the True Lord Rank and specialized in its talent and abilities. Sou! The little thieving cat and youngling scorpion suddenly revealed themselves and charged at Lu Tianyi. The little thieving cat quickly closed in. The youngling scorpion’s speed obviously wasn’t as fast as the little thieving cat’s but the latter had used its Mystic Snake Blood Whip to wrap around the youngling scorpion and quickly flew towards Lu Tianyi. The distance of four to five yards was less than half a breath for the little thieving cat. Facing the sudden appearance of the little thieving cat, Lu Tianyi wasn’t able to dodge or evade as he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul. Once the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion got close Lu Tianyi could kill the two just with his protective Qi of True Spirit. “Little thieving cat, you should know that you can’t break through Lu Tianyi’s defense with your power.” Zhao Feng’s eye still remained in the sky and looked down. Sou! Xiu--- As the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion arrived in front of Lu Tianyi. “Die!” Lu Tianyi was ready and released his Qi of True Spirit into a golden wave of light that swept across dozens of yards, enough to kill normal True Lord Ranks. Zhao Feng’s heart reached his throat. His God’s Spiritual Eye was extremely precise in analyzing strength: the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion had no power to fight back against Lu Tianyi. Putting them aside, even Zhao Feng might be instantly killed by Lu Tianyi if the latter got close. Boom!!!! Lu Tianyi’s boy released a surge of gold light that turned the leaves and branches of the Towering Tree Yao into dust. The area surrounding Lu Tianyi seemed to have evaporated and the Towering Tree Yao moaned powerlessly at the same time. “Little thieving cat!” Ye Yanyu who was spectating from behind exclaimed with an ugly expression. She had a special feeling towards the little thieving cat even if it had teamed up with Zhao Feng and calculated her. She felt unwilling and sad at the little thieving cat’s death. “Bastard Zhao Feng, how can you be so cold-hearted to send the little thieving cat to its death?” Ye Yanyu bit her lips and looked at the Eye of Heaven in the sky. The Eye of Heaven was just a larger version of Zhao Feng’s left eye. At this instance, the Eye of Heaven was cold and emotionless. It was as if the death of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion didn’t bring any emotion into Zhao Feng. The Eye of Heaven still released a cold energy that locked onto Lu Tianyi. “Hahaha….. You can send all the cannon fodder you have.” Lu Tianyi laughed. Although his speed was limited, he still approached Zhao Feng bit by bit. Faintly. Lu Tianyi saw a blue-haired youth in the depths of the branches. It seemed soulless and didn’t move. Next to the blue haired youth were two dark silver poison corpses. A gruesome smile appeared on Lu Tianyi’s face as he started to laugh. “Brother Zhao Feng, the Ruins Treasured Palace will descend in three breaths.” A soft voice of a female sounded in Zhao Feng’s mind. “Good.” Zhao Feng nodded his head and let out a breath. From this moment onwards, in the count of three, the Ruins Treasured palace would descend and Zhao Feng’s mission would be complete. However, Lu Tianyi would definitely be able to get close to Zhao Feng in three breaths time. Zhao Feng estimated that even if he survived the two dark silver poison corpses wouldn’t be able to. “Zhao Feng… no matter how cold and calculating you are, you still can’t escape death.” “Little thieving cat, you are indeed smart.” A sound reverberated across the mental energy dimension. In the next instant. Miao Miao! A small grey cat the size of a palm appeared right in front of Lu Tianyi. What? The geniuses of the three sects behind all watched with bulging eyes. Immediately following that. Sou! The youngling scorpion was flung out by the little thieving cat’s whip and went straight into Lu Tianyi’s laughing mouth.

Countless mysterious threads of light extended from it. They intertwined with each other while emitting a cryptic and ancient aura.\nThis formation was undoubtedly even more complicated than the Burning Sky Array from before. Moreover, the various faint undulation emitted from within it caused many people’s hearts to palpitate.\nThis formation was naturally the Ancient Universe Formation. However, the size of the ancient formation this time around was clearly the most terrifying it had ever been.\n“This is… what formation is this?”\nWu Qun’s eyes contained some shock as he stared at the formation that seemed to cover the entire place. Although the formation had yet to be completely activated, he could already feel a heart palpitating danger.\n“How does this fellow create a formation anytime he wishes? How can he create such a complicated formation by himself?”\nLing Qingzhu muttered. She could sense Lin Dong’s rapidly weakening aura. Clearly, even though he had used the Great Desolation Scripture to absorb the life force energy from a dozen mile radius, he was only barely able to create such an enormous formation.\n“What is this?”\nThe expressions of Ling Zhen, Lei Qian and the rest changed when this enormous formation appeared in the sky. The complexity of this formation before their eyes had far surpassed the Burning Sky Array from earlier. Even with their eyes, they were unable to identify just what kind of formation it was.\nAlthough Lin Dong had used the Ancient Universe Formation prior to this, its scale had not reached even a tenth of its current size. Therefore, Ling Zhen and the rest were unable to recognize it.\n“This brat is really troublesome to deal with.” Ling Zhen clenched his teeth. Inexplicably, he vaguely felt some unease in his heart.\n“Gather everyone together.” Ling Zhen’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a deep voice.\n“Why?” Lei Qian frowned and asked.\n“I feel that something is not quite right…” The unease within Ling Zhen’s eyes had become much richer. The formation in the sky caused him to feel as though he was sitting on needles.\n“Do you really believe that brat has the ability to make all of our Yuan Gate disciples accompany those Dao Sect trash in death?” Lei Qian frowned tightly. However, he hesitated for a moment when he saw the grave expression on Ling Zhen’s face. Finally, he waved his hand and the surrounding Yuan Gate disciples swiftly gathered towards him.\nLing Zhen finally sighed in relief when he saw this. Soon after, his eyes looked towards the sky in a dark and stern manner as he muttered, “I truly want to see just what else can you pull off!”\nIn the sky, Yuan Cang lifted his head and watched the enormous formation extend. Subsequently, he lowered his head slowly as his dark gaze locked onto Lin Dong and spoke in a gloomy voice.\n“However, you must be really dreaming if you think that you can rely on this thing to deal with me!”\nYuan Cang’s eyes were dark and stern. He took a step forward, while the Spirit Emblem hastily flickered between his brows. Waves after wave of majestic undulations suddenly swept out from his body. These undulations had actually reached the peak of the Initial Profound Life stage!\n“I shall let you see just how ridiculous this trump card you are proud of is in my eyes!”\nMonstrous Yuan Power whizzed out from Yuan Cang’s body like a flood. Finally, it transformed into a thousand feet large giant Yuan Power figure. An extremely overwhelming aura was being emitted from the Yuan Power figure.\n“Yuan God Codex, Yuan God Body!”\nA deep icy cry was suddenly emitted from Yuan Cang’s mouth. Soon after, two of his fingers formed the sword art as he suddenly slashed forward.\nBang! The enormous Yuan Power figure behind Yuan Cang lifted its giant hand when Yuan Cang slashed with his fingers. A terrifying ripple that seemed to link heaven and earth suddenly shot out. Finally, it was accompanied by a extremely frightening destructive force that hacked ruthlessly at the enormous formation in the sky.\nBang bang bang!\nWaves of terrifying ripples swept out in a crazy fashion. The incorporeal air was completely blasted apart at this moment, while rumbling noises continuously resounded across the sky.\nA cold light gathered within Lin Dong’s eyes when he saw this scene. Immediately, his hand seals changed abruptly, as the formation in the sky began to operate.\n“Eh? Why is that formation operating in reverse? Has Lin Dong become stupid from being beaten up?”\nMany sharp eyed individuals managed to gain some clues when the formation moved. Immediately, several stunned voices sounded.\nHowever, Lin Dong ignored the many voices around him. As the formation rotated in reverse, an extremely bizarre light beam swiftly began to form at the middle of the formation. Swoosh!\nChi chi!\nUnexpectedly, no loud sound was heard from the collision between the two. Neither was there a stalemate. Wherever the light beam passed, the majestic Yuan Power on the giant figure began to strangely disappear at a shocking speed…\nThe light beam swept across the horizon. Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the light beam pierce the giant Yuan Power figure. It looked as if it was completely unable to block the beam of light. “What?!”\nYuan Cang’s expression had finally changed at this moment. He could feel even the natural Yuan Power of the land being disintegrated wherever the light beam passed. “What on earth is that?!”\nPanic finally surged into Yuan Cang’s heart. His body abruptly withdrew and dodged the light beam that was shooting towards him.\nSwoosh!\nThe light beam rushed past Yuan Cang. Finally, it shot into a Yuan Gate disciple below at lightning speed.\nSizzle\nThat light beam rushed down. Soon, everyone watched as that Yuan Gate disciple’s entire body strangely vanish after being hit by the light beam. Not even a trace of blood nor flesh remained behind.\n*Uproar* The area around that disciple quickly became empty. All the Yuan Gate disciples were appalled as they watched this scene. A terrifying chill faintly gushed out in their hearts.\nA bloodthirsty smile vaguely appeared on Lin Dong’s young pale white face when he saw the horror on those Yuan Gate disciples’ faces. Traces of brutality and madness climbed out from deep within his eyes.\n“Lin Dong, you are courting death!”\nYuan Cang’s pupils contracted. As he gazed at Lin Dong’s face, a chill also surged out from deep within his heart as he cried out in a dark voice.\nLin Dong merely smiled when he heard this. After which, he suddenly slammed his hand on his chest. A vomiting sound appeared as some essence blood was once again spat out from his mouth, before entering the large formation in the sky.\nAfter receiving Lin Dong’s essence blood, a light curtain started to pour down from the Ancient Universe Formation. Finally, it directly wrapped Yuan Cang and all the Yuan Gate disciples inside it.\n“Lin Dong, what do you plan on doing? Are you intending to start a war between Yuan Gate and Dao Sect?” Ling Zhen cried out. His expression had suddenly changed when he saw this.\n“One is allowed to do anything in this place… didn’t all of you also share this thought earlier?”\nA grin surfaced on Lin Dong’s extremely pale face in response to Ling Zhen’s explosive cry. However, that smile caused the Yuan Gate disciples to tremble in fear.\n“This fellow is a lunatic…” A chill rose up from under the everyone’s feet, and directly charged to the top of their heads. This person… wasn’t this too ruthless?" } ]
第八百一十章 庞大的阵图，自天空之上蔓延开来，无数玄奥的光线在其中蔓延开来，jiāo织汇聚间，弥漫着晦涩与古老。 这个阵法，比起先前的焚天阵，无疑是更为的复杂，而且其中所散发出来的种种细微bō动，令得不少人都是感到由衷的心悸。 而这番阵法，自然便是乾坤古阵，只不过这一次古阵的规模，显然是林动催动以来，最为恐怖的一次。 “这是什么阵法？” 吴群眼神隐隐噙着骇然的望着那笼罩天地般的阵法，虽然如今的阵法还并没有彻底的启动，但他却已是能够感觉到一种心悸的危险。 “这个家伙怎么随时都能够凝聚阵法？ 如此复杂的阵法，他一个人怎么可能凝聚得出来？” 绫清竹喃喃道，她能够察觉到林动那迅速虚弱的气息，显然，即便是他使用大荒芜经吸收了方圆数十里的生机能量，但想要凝聚出如此庞大的阵法，对于他而言，依然是有些勉强。 “这是什么东西？” 灵真，雷千等人同样是因为这出现在天空上的庞大阵法而有些sè变，眼前这阵法的复杂程度，远远的超出了先前的焚天阵，即便是以他们的眼力，都是分辩不出来这究竟是何种阵法。 虽说在之前林动也曾经动用过乾坤古阵，但那种规模却是不及此时十分之一，所以这灵真等人，也是无法将其辨识出来。 灵真咬了咬牙，不知为何，隐隐的，他心中感觉到一些不安。 “将所有人招集到一起。” 灵真目光闪了闪，而后沉声道。 “怎么？” 雷千皱眉道。 “总感觉到不对劲”灵真眼中的不安变得浓郁了许多，天空上那阵法，令得他如坐针毡。 “你还真以为那小子有能耐让我元mén所有弟子为那些道宗的废物陪葬不成？” 雷千紧皱着眉头，但在见到灵真那凝重面sè时，他犹豫了一下，然后便是一挥手掌，周遭那些元mén弟子，则是迅速的对着他汇聚而来。 灵真见状，心中方才微微的松了一口气，旋即眼神yīn厉的望向天空，喃喃道：“我倒是要看看，你究竟能耍出什么手段来！” 天空上，元苍抬头望着那弥漫开来的庞大阵图，旋即徐徐低头，目光yīn寒的锁定着林动，声音yīn沉的道。 “不过你想要凭借这东西来对付我，恐怕还异想天开了一些！” 元苍眼神yīn厉，一步踏出，在其眉心处，灵印闪烁着急促的光芒，而后便是有着一股极端磅礴的bō动，陡然自其体内席卷出来，那种bō动，几乎已是达到了生玄境小成的顶峰！ “我便让你看看，你引以为傲的底牌，在我眼中，是何等可笑！” 滔天的元力，如同cháo水一般，从元苍体内呼啸而出，最后竟是在其身后化为了一道百丈庞大的元力巨影，一种极为强大的威压，自那元力之影中散发出来。 “元帝典，元帝之身！” 低沉冰冷的喝声，陡然自元苍嘴中传出，旋即其双指捏剑诀，猛然劈出。 轰！ 就在元苍剑指劈出之时，其身后的那道元力巨影，也是抬起巨手，一道几乎贯穿天地般的恐怖bō动，猛的暴shè而出，最后夹杂着极端可怕的破坏力，直接是对着天空上那庞大的阵图狠狠劈去！ 砰砰砰！ 一股股可怕的bō动疯狂的席卷着，无形的空气都是在此刻被尽数的震爆，天空之上，有着连绵不断的轰隆隆声音响起。 林动望着这一幕，双瞳之中也是有着冰寒凝聚，旋即其手印陡然变幻，天空上的阵法顿时运转起来。 “嗯？ 那阵法的运转怎么是逆向的？ 这林动被打傻了不成？” 阵法一动，便是有着不少眼力毒辣之人察觉到一些端倪，当即便是有着不少错愕的声音响起。 然而，对于这在天地间响起的诸多声音，林动却是未曾理会，伴随着阵法的逆向旋转，只见得在那阵法中央，一道极为奇异的光束，迅速的凝聚着。 咻！ 光束凝聚成形，不过尺许宽大，其上也并没有任何磅礴的bō动散发出来，但林动在见到它时，chún角却是有着弧度掀起来，旋即手指凌空点出，那道光束陡然呼啸而下，最后直接是在那无数道目光的注视下，与那道元力巨影，轰然相撞。 嗤嗤！ 光束掠过天际，然后众人便是目瞪口呆的见到，那道元力巨影，竟是直接被生生的dòng穿，那番模样，仿佛根本就无法阻拦那道光束一般。 元苍的面sè，终于是在此刻变sè，他能够察觉到，那道光束过处，就连天地元力，都是被分解成了虚无。 ！” 元苍的心头，也终是在此刻涌上了一抹慌sè，旋即其身形陡然暴退，将那道暴shè而来的光束闪避开去。 咻！ 光束自元苍前方掠过，然后快若闪电般的shè中了下方元mén的一名弟子。 嗤！ 光束掠下，接着众人便是见到，那名元mén弟子整个身体，都是在那道光束shè下间诡异的消失而去，那番模样，甚至是连丝毫血ròu都未曾留下。 哗啦啦。 那名弟子周围，立即空出一片空地，所有的元mén弟子都是面带惊骇的望着这一幕，一种恐惧的寒气，隐隐的从他们心中涌了出来。 望着那些元mén弟子脸庞上的恐惧，林动苍白的年轻脸庞上，却是隐隐的有着一抹嗜血的笑容浮现出来，那双瞳深处，一丝丝的戾气疯狂的攀爬出来。 “林动，你在找死！” 元苍眼瞳缩了缩，他望着林动那张脸庞，内心深处，也是有着一抹寒气涌出来，当即yīn沉沉的喝道。 林动闻言，似是笑了笑，而后他突然猛的一掌拍在xiōng膛之上，噗嗤一声，一口jīng血再度从其嘴中喷出，最后尽数掠进天空上的大阵上。 而随着林动jīng血的灌注，那乾坤古阵之上，开始有着一道光幕倾泻下来，最后直接是将包括元苍在内的所有元mén弟子都是包裹了进去。 你想引起元mén与道宗之间的战争么？” 灵真见状，面sè也是剧变，暴喝道。 “在这里，允许做任何事你们之前，不也是这样认为的么？” 面对着灵真的暴喝，林动那极为苍白的脸庞上，却是有着一抹笑容浮现出来，只是这笑容落在元mén弟子眼中，却是有些不寒而栗。 一股寒气，从在场所有人的脚底升起，最后直冲天灵盖，这家伙手段未免也太狠了吧？
Chapter 810: Lunatic The enormous formation spread across the sky. Countless mysterious threads of light extended from it. They intertwined with each other while emitting a cryptic and ancient aura. This formation was undoubtedly even more complicated than the Burning Sky Array from before. Moreover, the various faint undulation emitted from within it caused many people’s hearts to palpitate. This formation was naturally the Ancient Universe Formation. However, the size of the ancient formation this time around was clearly the most terrifying it had ever been. “This is… what formation is this?” Wu Qun’s eyes contained some shock as he stared at the formation that seemed to cover the entire place. Although the formation had yet to be completely activated, he could already feel a heart palpitating danger. “How does this fellow create a formation anytime he wishes? How can he create such a complicated formation by himself?” Ling Qingzhu muttered. She could sense Lin Dong’s rapidly weakening aura. Clearly, even though he had used the Great Desolation Scripture to absorb the life force energy from a dozen mile radius, he was only barely able to create such an enormous formation. “What is this?” The expressions of Ling Zhen, Lei Qian and the rest changed when this enormous formation appeared in the sky. The complexity of this formation before their eyes had far surpassed the Burning Sky Array from earlier. Even with their eyes, they were unable to identify just what kind of formation it was. Although Lin Dong had used the Ancient Universe Formation prior to this, its scale had not reached even a tenth of its current size. Therefore, Ling Zhen and the rest were unable to recognize it. “This brat is really troublesome to deal with.” Ling Zhen clenched his teeth. Inexplicably, he vaguely felt some unease in his heart. “Gather everyone together.” Ling Zhen’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a deep voice. “Why?” Lei Qian frowned and asked. “I feel that something is not quite right…” The unease within Ling Zhen’s eyes had become much richer. The formation in the sky caused him to feel as though he was sitting on needles. “Do you really believe that brat has the ability to make all of our Yuan Gate disciples accompany those Dao Sect trash in death?” Lei Qian frowned tightly. However, he hesitated for a moment when he saw the grave expression on Ling Zhen’s face. Finally, he waved his hand and the surrounding Yuan Gate disciples swiftly gathered towards him. Ling Zhen finally sighed in relief when he saw this. Soon after, his eyes looked towards the sky in a dark and stern manner as he muttered, “I truly want to see just what else can you pull off!” In the sky, Yuan Cang lifted his head and watched the enormous formation extend. Subsequently, he lowered his head slowly as his dark gaze locked onto Lin Dong and spoke in a gloomy voice. “However, you must be really dreaming if you think that you can rely on this thing to deal with me!” Yuan Cang’s eyes were dark and stern. He took a step forward, while the Spirit Emblem hastily flickered between his brows. Waves after wave of majestic undulations suddenly swept out from his body. These undulations had actually reached the peak of the Initial Profound Life stage! “I shall let you see just how ridiculous this trump card you are proud of is in my eyes!” Monstrous Yuan Power whizzed out from Yuan Cang’s body like a flood. Finally, it transformed into a thousand feet large giant Yuan Power figure. An extremely overwhelming aura was being emitted from the Yuan Power figure. “Yuan God Codex, Yuan God Body!” A deep icy cry was suddenly emitted from Yuan Cang’s mouth. Soon after, two of his fingers formed the sword art as he suddenly slashed forward. Bang! The enormous Yuan Power figure behind Yuan Cang lifted its giant hand when Yuan Cang slashed with his fingers. A terrifying ripple that seemed to link heaven and earth suddenly shot out. Finally, it was accompanied by a extremely frightening destructive force that hacked ruthlessly at the enormous formation in the sky. Bang bang bang! Waves of terrifying ripples swept out in a crazy fashion. The incorporeal air was completely blasted apart at this moment, while rumbling noises continuously resounded across the sky. A cold light gathered within Lin Dong’s eyes when he saw this scene. Immediately, his hand seals changed abruptly, as the formation in the sky began to operate. “Eh? Why is that formation operating in reverse? Has Lin Dong become stupid from being beaten up?” Many sharp eyed individuals managed to gain some clues when the formation moved. Immediately, several stunned voices sounded. However, Lin Dong ignored the many voices around him. As the formation rotated in reverse, an extremely bizarre light beam swiftly began to form at the middle of the formation. Swoosh! Chi chi! Unexpectedly, no loud sound was heard from the collision between the two. Neither was there a stalemate. Wherever the light beam passed, the majestic Yuan Power on the giant figure began to strangely disappear at a shocking speed… The light beam swept across the horizon. Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the light beam pierce the giant Yuan Power figure. It looked as if it was completely unable to block the beam of light. “What?!” Yuan Cang’s expression had finally changed at this moment. He could feel even the natural Yuan Power of the land being disintegrated wherever the light beam passed. “What on earth is that?!” Panic finally surged into Yuan Cang’s heart. His body abruptly withdrew and dodged the light beam that was shooting towards him. Swoosh! The light beam rushed past Yuan Cang. Finally, it shot into a Yuan Gate disciple below at lightning speed. Sizzle That light beam rushed down. Soon, everyone watched as that Yuan Gate disciple’s entire body strangely vanish after being hit by the light beam. Not even a trace of blood nor flesh remained behind. *Uproar* The area around that disciple quickly became empty. All the Yuan Gate disciples were appalled as they watched this scene. A terrifying chill faintly gushed out in their hearts. A bloodthirsty smile vaguely appeared on Lin Dong’s young pale white face when he saw the horror on those Yuan Gate disciples’ faces. Traces of brutality and madness climbed out from deep within his eyes. “Lin Dong, you are courting death!” Yuan Cang’s pupils contracted. As he gazed at Lin Dong’s face, a chill also surged out from deep within his heart as he cried out in a dark voice. Lin Dong merely smiled when he heard this. After which, he suddenly slammed his hand on his chest. A vomiting sound appeared as some essence blood was once again spat out from his mouth, before entering the large formation in the sky. After receiving Lin Dong’s essence blood, a light curtain started to pour down from the Ancient Universe Formation. Finally, it directly wrapped Yuan Cang and all the Yuan Gate disciples inside it. “Lin Dong, what do you plan on doing? Are you intending to start a war between Yuan Gate and Dao Sect?” Ling Zhen cried out. His expression had suddenly changed when he saw this. “One is allowed to do anything in this place… didn’t all of you also share this thought earlier?” A grin surfaced on Lin Dong’s extremely pale face in response to Ling Zhen’s explosive cry. However, that smile caused the Yuan Gate disciples to tremble in fear. “This fellow is a lunatic…” A chill rose up from under the everyone’s feet, and directly charged to the top of their heads. This person… wasn’t this too ruthless?

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 九点半，不等向晚去叫，白慕川准时从办公室出来，捋一把头发，召开案情分析会。\n讲真，要不是他长得太帅，这一波操作就太放飞自我了。\n刑侦队就是这样，专项案子，大家手上掌握的线索不一样，需要碰头会议通报、整理再布置下一阶段任务。\n根据昨天晚上对犯罪嫌疑人贾安死亡现场的临时摸排，众人整理了一大堆的资料出来，再进行汇合筛选，结果差不多与料想的一样，一切证据都表明，贾安就是《灰名单》剧组的那个肇事者，毛桂桂案的杀人凶手。\n从剧组失踪后，他就暂住在周德全那个郊区的宅子里。\n杀害毛桂桂的锯头视频。 视频里除了毛桂桂之外，没有出现别的人物，不过却可以听到贾安的声音，以及毛桂桂被捆绑在电锯下，惊恐地叫声。\n在数字会议室播放这段视频之前，白慕川给向晚发了一条短信。\n“你抓紧时间去上个厕所什么的？”\n“……为什么？” 向晚不理解，瞄他一眼。\n“女孩子不要看这些奇奇怪怪的东西。”\n白慕川看了她一眼，没有再发信息。\n然后，向晚就看到了此生以来最为惊恐的一幕。\n向晚在刑侦大队呆了这么久，看过的各种照片资料已不计其数，她渐渐就有些麻木了，觉得自己不会再受影响，可真正看到锯头现场的视频与最恐怖的恐怖片相比，血腥程度都增加了N个档次。 向晚低头，捂住口鼻。\n心理暗示太可怕了。 她想。\n“这段视频，不能认定杀害毛桂桂的人，就是贾安。 但可以认定贾安与这个案子有关。”\n“那天唐元初、何文才、王启成、向晚四人巡查星光大道时，贾安指使陈六引开警察，就是为了绑架毛桂桂。\n“不！” 有人反对，“大家别忘了，贾安不仅是道具师，还是武行出身。”\n剧组武行，大多有实打实的功夫在身，一个大男人对付一个小姑娘都毫无悬念，何况是一个有预谋的武行，要对付一个没有丝毫准备的小姑娘？\n案件分析，各抒己见。 只有讨论才能发散思维，集思广益，查找漏洞。\n很多悬案都是这样讨论出来的。\n“贾安与毛桂桂的案子有关，这一点毋庸置疑，现在问题的关键是……他和毛桂桂之间，有什么关系，他为什么要杀毛桂桂？”\n“还有一点，为什么杀害了毛桂桂之后，贾安又要在剧组的道具枪械里放上实弹？ 是为了杀害谁？\n这两个问题都是目前的纠结点。\n找不到贾安杀害毛桂桂的作案动机。\n“是什么促使他这么做呢？”\n是人性的毁灭，还是道德的沦丧……向晚突然想到这两句话，嘴唇抽搐一下。\n这小动作，立马被白慕川发现。\n他面无表情地看过来，“向老师，谈谈你的看法。”\n都叫老师了，就是顾问身份了，那该发表意见的时候，就得拿出点干货来才能服人。\n“好的，我刚好整理了一点个人意见，准备跟大家交流交流。” 向晚严肃地站起来，翻着笔记本，低头整理思路。\n白慕川见状，按按手，“坐下说。 队上都自己人，随意一点。”\n向晚腼腆一笑，友好地对众人点点头，坐下来，清了清嗓子，“首先划个重点——贾安肯定不是案子的主谋。”\n众人点头。\n向晚：“所以，我认为上面谢警官提出的两个看似很关键的问题，其实就变得不关键了。”\n谢辉看过来，目露疑惑。\n向晚正视他，微微一笑，“贾安不需要对毛桂桂，乃至叶轮、戚科、谢绾绾有任何杀人动机……他是被人指使的，为了自己的利益，或者被人威胁，不得不做……当然，贾安是一个很容易被威胁的人。 他有长期吸食大麻的历史，一直没有戒断。\n众人再次点头。\n白慕川看着她，抬抬手：“继续说。”\n向晚环视一圈，想了想，说：“我们可以用方程式来设定一下。”\n“方程式？”\n“对！ 首先假设贾安背后的主使人是未知数X，然后就可以得出，X指使贾安，贾安再利用董布赌博的事情陷害叶轮，同时他哄骗智力有障碍的陈六引走警察，再掳走毛桂桂……这一系列事情就变得合理了。”\n众人沉默。\n片刻，唐元初突然问：“向老师，你数学还好么？”\n唐元初：“这样好像例不出方程式吧？”\n向晚一脸尴尬，“大概就这么一个意思，我的阐述你们能听明白吧？”\n唐元初摇头：“不太明白。 你是不是想说，那个幕后主使的人主要针对的是叶轮？”\n当然不是。\n至少，不完全是。\n只针对叶轮为什么要与她的小说搞成同样走向？\n但那些更深层次的东西，在大会上不方便说，向晚看了白慕川一眼，默默交流一下眼神。\n这一系列事情，是因为谢绾绾与叶轮的矛盾引发的。 如此一来，孔庆平的死，曹梦佳的自杀……等等事件，都可以从中看出叶轮起到的作用，尤其毛桂桂的死，以及毛桂桂疯狂的追星行为，还有董布的证词以及酒店那个疑似叶轮与毛桂桂约会的监控视频，直接把叶轮推到了犯罪嫌疑人的位置上。”\n不过……不管最终杀掉了谁，叶轮都是有嫌疑的。 包括现在，贾安死了，叶轮还是洗不清嫌疑。”\n“怎么说？”\n“从逻辑上来分析，最有可能指使贾安杀人的，就是叶轮。”\n“嗯。” 白慕川点点头，“那周德全怎么解释？”\n向晚想到了那个笑得像个弥勒佛般一样的胖男人。\n“当然……”向晚看一眼白慕川，说得迟疑而缓慢，“周德全肯定是有问题的，这一点我们都知道。 她说不下去了。\n也不知道剩下来的话，该不该说。\n白慕川察觉到她的情绪，敲敲桌子。\n“嗯。” 向晚考虑一下：“从我们掌握的情况看，最像嫌疑人的叶轮，已经不太像嫌疑人了。\n而周德全是现在最有嫌疑的一个人。 他是一个成功的商人，有背景，也有实力可以做这些事情……不过，我认为，他不是食物链的终端，他只是一个犯罪组织的下层头目，而这个组织的高层，也许是我们惹不起的人物。”\n这个问题，她已经和白慕川讨论过。\n刚才犹豫是在想，要不要在会上说出来。\n毕竟周德全是只老虎，背后还有更大的老虎。\n一旦开诚布公地说到这些，很多事情就会变得很复杂。\n所以，她用了“我认为”，先把白慕川摘出来。\n白慕川深深看她一眼，“向老师说的，也是我想说的。\n他话刚说到这里，小刘就匆匆进来，“白队，王局找您！”\n王局打的是内线电话，白慕川看了众人一眼，示意他们继续讨论，跟着小刘出去了。\n大约十来分钟，他回来了，阴沉着脸，坐在那里半天没说话。\n“白队，怎么了？” 唐元初最是没心没肺的一个，立马问。\n“王局问我们案子的进展情况。” 白慕川说：“还有，周德全扣押刑警，变成了为民除害。”\n办公室突然沉默。\n过了片刻，唐元初压着嗓子小声问：“有个问题，其实我昨天就想问。 白队，你是故意被他扣留下来的吧？”\n白慕川挑挑眉：“为什么这么问？”\n唐元初想了想，“不扣留怎么落下把柄？ 不逼他，又怎么能让他现出原形？”\n白慕川眉头沉了沉，不否认，也不明确表示同意，只淡淡道：“大家都加把劲儿吧，不把老虎尾巴揪住，他就得反过来咬我们了！”\n“明白！”\n大家异口同声的回答，声音却有些弱。\n或许大家都有心揪老虎，可能不能揪出老虎，在揪老虎的过程中会发生什么不可预料的事情，对他们的工作会不会有什么影响……谁都无法预料。\n盘根错节的复杂关系网，让人隐隐头痛。\n散会后，唐元初默默跟着白慕川，一起到办公室，关上门才说：“头儿，有个事……刚才在会上我都没好问。”\n白慕川抬眼看他，“什么？”\n唐元初踌躇着，“关于黄哥……大家都说他跟了周德全……我不太能接受。”\n白慕川眉心皱起，看着他略显单纯的脸，淡淡地撩起一抹笑。\n“相信自己。”\n今天是中秋节。\n本来是合家团圆的节目，可整个上午，大队的气氛都有些沉闷。\n到中午快要下班的时候，市局来人了。\n领导来慰问中秋，关心这些过节还坚守在一线岗位的民警。\n月饼、奖励，加班费都是有的，还特地表扬了大家在这个案子里的表现。\n在领导的观点里，这个悬案基本已经破了。\n贾安伏法，凶手已死……看上去真的很完美。\n食堂中午加了菜，给大家欢度了一下中秋节，然后就开始准备出发了。\n锦城某卫视举办的中秋晚会，他们都要去执勤。.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Chapter 162 Believe in YourselfTranslator: MintCatnip | Editor: AtlasStudios /Atlas StudiosAt half past nine in the morning, Bai Muchuan came out of his office without needing Xiang Wan to wake him up. He adjusted his attire, brushed his hair and called for a case analysis meeting.\nFrankly, if he was not that good looking, Xiang Wan wanted to tell him he had been too self-indulgent in solving the case.\nThe Criminal Investigation Unit was consisted of different teams. Every team would get ahold of different clues and leads. It was therefore crucial to meet up and share their information with each other, collate, summarize, and decide on the next course of action.\nFrom what they have gathered from Jia An’s death scene last night, a lot of information were collected and collated. After summarizing and analyzing, the end result was not much different from their expectations. All evidence proved that Jia An was the one in the film crew of “The Grey List” that murdered Mao Guigui.\nAfter Jia An disappeared from the filming set, he had been staying in Zhao Dequan’s villa in the suburbs.\nIn the video, besides Mao Guigui, there was no one else. Jia An’s voice could be heard in the video, though. The video showed Mao Guigui being tied up, her eyes were wide-opened as she screaming desperately when the chainsaw went toward her neck…\nBai Muchuan sent Xiang Wan a text message before the video was shown in the digital conference room.\n“You better go to the ladies or go do something else?”\n“… Why?” Xiang Wan shot a puzzled glance at him.\n“Girls should not look at all these weird, spooky stuff.”\nBai Muchuan took a look at her and did not message again.\nAnd so, Xiang Wan saw the most frightening video ever in her life.\nXiang Wan had been with the team for quite some time already and had seen various kinds of pictures and information. She had already started to get numb from those bloody scenes and felt that she should be fine. But when she actually saw the chainsaw cutting the head and compared it against a horror film, the scale of horror was no match for the actual real life murder scene.\nPsychological hints are too frightening, she thought to herself.\n“This video could not prove that Jia An was the one who murdered Mao Guigui. However, it was for sure that Jia An was definitely related to the case.”\n“That day, Tang Yuanchu, He Wencai, Wang Chengming, and Xiang Wan were patrolling along the Avenue of Stars. Jia An was the one who made used of Chen Liu to attract the attention of the police for the sake of kidnapping Mao Guigui. However, Mao Guigui was 168 centimeters tall and weighed 50 kilogrammes. I don’t think Jia An could have kidnapped Mao Guigui without anyone noticing…”\n“I don’t agree!” Someone raised an objection. “Let’s not forget the fact that Jia An was also well-versed in martial arts, on top of being a props master.”\nBeing a martial arts master meant that Jia An had real fighting skills. A man like him would not be afraid of dealing with a young university student like Mao Guigui. Moreover, this was a case of premeditated murder.\nOnly by discussion, they could think more deeply about the problem, brainstorm, and find loopholes in their conjectures.\nMany murder cases had been discussed using this method.\n“No doubt, we have affirmed that Jia An is related to Mao Guigui’s case. But the main problem is… what is the relationship between him and Mao Guigui? Why must he kill Mao Guigui?”\n“There’s more. After Mao Guigui died, Jia An placed a real bullet in the gun. Why did he do that? Who did he want to kill? Ye Lun, Yu Ning, or Xie Wanwan?”\nThese problem were currently what was bothering them.\nThey were unable to find Jia An’s motive for killing Mao Guigui.\n“What had prompted him to do so?”\nIs it the destruction of humanity or the loss of morality? Xiang Wan’s lips twitched when she thought of this sentence.\nAnd Bai Muchuan noticed this little gesture of hers.\nHe looked over expressionlessly. “Teacher Xiang, share with us your views.”\nSince she was being called upon, she had to express her views as an advisor to the team and earn their respect.\n“I have summarized my own viewpoints and would like to share with everyone here.” Xiang Wan got up from her seat solemnly, lowering her head as she flipped her notebook to organize her thoughts.\nBai Muchuan gestured for her to sit down when she got up. “Just sit down and talk. We’re all a team.”\nXiang Wan smiled shyly and nodded to everyone as she sat down and cleared her throat. “First of all, I need to make a point that—Jia An is definitely not the mastermind of the case.” She said this firmly as she looked at everyone. “Someone who can plan all these so meticulously will not allow himself to be killed so easily.”\nEveryone nodded their heads.\n“Hence,” continued Xiang Wan, “the two seemingly crucial points that Detective Xie raised earlier become not so important anymore.”\nXie Hui looked over with doubt in his eyes.\nXiang Wan looked at him with a polite smile. “Jia An need not have any motive to kill Mao Guigui, Ye Lun, Yu Ning, or Xie Wanwan… He was being instigated or was being threatened that he must do it, by crook or by hook… Of course, Jia An was someone who was easily threatened for he had a long history of smoking marijuana. A habit that he never managed to kick. Just this point alone was easy for someone to manipulate him.”\nEveryone nodded their heads once again.\nBai Muchuan lifted his arm and looked at her. “Continue.”\nXiang Wan looked at everyone and continued after a brief pause, “We can use an equation to set it up.”\n“Equation?”\n“Yes! Firstly, we assume the mastermind behind Jia An as Mr. X. Then, we will have Mr. X instigating Jia An to make use of Dong Bu’s gambling habits and debts to frame Ye Lun. At the same time, he got Jia An to get Chen Liu, who had a low IQ, to attract the attention of the police so he could kidnap Mao Guigui… With that, this whole case will seem reasonable.”\nEveryone fell silent.\nAfter a while, Tang Yuanchu blurted a question. “Teacher Xiang, is your Math good?”\nTang Yuanchu: “That doesn’t seem to give me an equation?”\nCough! Xiang Wan felt a little awkward. “That’s the general idea. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”\n“Not really,” Tang Yuanchu shook his head, “are you trying to say that the mastermind’s aim is Ye Lun?”\nOf course not.\nAt least, not totally.\nIf the mastermind was trying to target Ye Lun, there was no need to follow her novel and make it seem like it was moving in the same direction?\nNevertheless, it was not suitable for her to talk about this in the meeting. Xiang Wan took a look at Bai Muchuan, who returned her gaze.\n“From the surface of the case, it is indeed the case. This series of things could have started from the conflict between Xie Wanwan and Ye Lun. With that, Kong Qingping’s death, Cao Mengjia’s suicide… and so on, we can see that Ye Lun has a role in it, especially in Mao Guigui’s death and her crazy celebrity chasing behaviors. Dong Bu’s statement and the surveillance footage of a man suspected to be Ye Lun visiting Mao Guigui’s hotel room had directly pushed him as the prime suspect of the case.”\n“The gun with the real bullet was being held by Ye Lun,” said Xiang Wan, “… if I’m not wrong, his mission was to make Ye Lun the prime suspect.”\n“Why do you say that?”\n“Logically, the most possible person to instigate Jia An to kill, should be Ye Lun.”\n“Hm.” Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “How do you explain about Zhou Dequan?”\nXiang Wan recalled the fat man with a pot belly who smiled like the Smiling Buddha.\n“Of course…” Xiang Wan took a glance at Bai Muchuan as she said her words slowly and with a little hesitation. “There’s definitely a problem with Zhou Dequan, we all know that. But we don’t have evidence against him. He let Jia An stay in his house as he’s Jia An’s brother-in-law after all… He could always say that before Captain Bai appeared, he did not know that Jia An had committed all these crimes… Besides…”\nShe did not know if she should finish what she wanted to say.\nBai Muchuan noticed that and he knocked on the table.\n“This is a case analysis meeting, anyone in the team can speak casually.”\n“Okay,” Xiang Wan considered for a moment before continuing, “from what we know so far, the one who seemed to be the prime suspect was Ye Lun, but he doesn’t look like the prime suspect anymore. Zhou Dequan, at the moment, is the new prime suspect as he’s a successful businessman, has backing, and has ability to do that… However, I feel that he is not the one at the end of the food chain. He’s just a low-ranking leader of a criminal organization, and the top-ranking members of the organization might be people we can’t afford to mess with.”\nShe had discussed this problem with Bai Muchuan.\nHer earlier hesitation was because she was wondering if she should say it at the meeting or not.\nAfter all, if Zhou Dequan could be considered a big fish, there was an even bigger “fish” behind.\nWhen all these were being laid on the table, a lot of things would become complicated.\nHence, she used the words “I feel that”, to get Bai Muchuan out of the picture.\n“Teacher Xiang has said what I wanted to say.” Bai Muchuan looked at Xiang Wan deeply for a moment. “But for now, these are only our guesses.

九点半，不等向晚去叫，白慕川准时从办公室出来，捋一把头发，召开案情分析会。 讲真，要不是他长得太帅，这一波操作就太放飞自我了。 刑侦队就是这样，专项案子，大家手上掌握的线索不一样，需要碰头会议通报、整理再布置下一阶段任务。 根据昨天晚上对犯罪嫌疑人贾安死亡现场的临时摸排，众人整理了一大堆的资料出来，再进行汇合筛选，结果差不多与料想的一样，一切证据都表明，贾安就是《灰名单》剧组的那个肇事者，毛桂桂案的杀人凶手。 从剧组失踪后，他就暂住在周德全那个郊区的宅子里。 杀害毛桂桂的锯头视频。 视频里除了毛桂桂之外，没有出现别的人物，不过却可以听到贾安的声音，以及毛桂桂被捆绑在电锯下，惊恐地叫声。 在数字会议室播放这段视频之前，白慕川给向晚发了一条短信。 “你抓紧时间去上个厕所什么的？” “……为什么？” 向晚不理解，瞄他一眼。 “女孩子不要看这些奇奇怪怪的东西。” 白慕川看了她一眼，没有再发信息。 然后，向晚就看到了此生以来最为惊恐的一幕。 向晚在刑侦大队呆了这么久，看过的各种照片资料已不计其数，她渐渐就有些麻木了，觉得自己不会再受影响，可真正看到锯头现场的视频与最恐怖的恐怖片相比，血腥程度都增加了N个档次。 向晚低头，捂住口鼻。 心理暗示太可怕了。 她想。 “这段视频，不能认定杀害毛桂桂的人，就是贾安。 但可以认定贾安与这个案子有关。” “那天唐元初、何文才、王启成、向晚四人巡查星光大道时，贾安指使陈六引开警察，就是为了绑架毛桂桂。 “不！” 有人反对，“大家别忘了，贾安不仅是道具师，还是武行出身。” 剧组武行，大多有实打实的功夫在身，一个大男人对付一个小姑娘都毫无悬念，何况是一个有预谋的武行，要对付一个没有丝毫准备的小姑娘？ 案件分析，各抒己见。 只有讨论才能发散思维，集思广益，查找漏洞。 很多悬案都是这样讨论出来的。 “贾安与毛桂桂的案子有关，这一点毋庸置疑，现在问题的关键是……他和毛桂桂之间，有什么关系，他为什么要杀毛桂桂？” “还有一点，为什么杀害了毛桂桂之后，贾安又要在剧组的道具枪械里放上实弹？ 是为了杀害谁？ 这两个问题都是目前的纠结点。 找不到贾安杀害毛桂桂的作案动机。 “是什么促使他这么做呢？” 是人性的毁灭，还是道德的沦丧……向晚突然想到这两句话，嘴唇抽搐一下。 这小动作，立马被白慕川发现。 他面无表情地看过来，“向老师，谈谈你的看法。” 都叫老师了，就是顾问身份了，那该发表意见的时候，就得拿出点干货来才能服人。 “好的，我刚好整理了一点个人意见，准备跟大家交流交流。” 向晚严肃地站起来，翻着笔记本，低头整理思路。 白慕川见状，按按手，“坐下说。 队上都自己人，随意一点。” 向晚腼腆一笑，友好地对众人点点头，坐下来，清了清嗓子，“首先划个重点——贾安肯定不是案子的主谋。” 众人点头。 向晚：“所以，我认为上面谢警官提出的两个看似很关键的问题，其实就变得不关键了。” 谢辉看过来，目露疑惑。 向晚正视他，微微一笑，“贾安不需要对毛桂桂，乃至叶轮、戚科、谢绾绾有任何杀人动机……他是被人指使的，为了自己的利益，或者被人威胁，不得不做……当然，贾安是一个很容易被威胁的人。 他有长期吸食大麻的历史，一直没有戒断。 众人再次点头。 白慕川看着她，抬抬手：“继续说。” 向晚环视一圈，想了想，说：“我们可以用方程式来设定一下。” “方程式？” “对！ 首先假设贾安背后的主使人是未知数X，然后就可以得出，X指使贾安，贾安再利用董布赌博的事情陷害叶轮，同时他哄骗智力有障碍的陈六引走警察，再掳走毛桂桂……这一系列事情就变得合理了。” 众人沉默。 片刻，唐元初突然问：“向老师，你数学还好么？” 唐元初：“这样好像例不出方程式吧？” 向晚一脸尴尬，“大概就这么一个意思，我的阐述你们能听明白吧？” 唐元初摇头：“不太明白。 你是不是想说，那个幕后主使的人主要针对的是叶轮？” 当然不是。 至少，不完全是。 只针对叶轮为什么要与她的小说搞成同样走向？ 但那些更深层次的东西，在大会上不方便说，向晚看了白慕川一眼，默默交流一下眼神。 这一系列事情，是因为谢绾绾与叶轮的矛盾引发的。 如此一来，孔庆平的死，曹梦佳的自杀……等等事件，都可以从中看出叶轮起到的作用，尤其毛桂桂的死，以及毛桂桂疯狂的追星行为，还有董布的证词以及酒店那个疑似叶轮与毛桂桂约会的监控视频，直接把叶轮推到了犯罪嫌疑人的位置上。” 不过……不管最终杀掉了谁，叶轮都是有嫌疑的。 包括现在，贾安死了，叶轮还是洗不清嫌疑。” “怎么说？” “从逻辑上来分析，最有可能指使贾安杀人的，就是叶轮。” “嗯。” 白慕川点点头，“那周德全怎么解释？” 向晚想到了那个笑得像个弥勒佛般一样的胖男人。 “当然……”向晚看一眼白慕川，说得迟疑而缓慢，“周德全肯定是有问题的，这一点我们都知道。 她说不下去了。 也不知道剩下来的话，该不该说。 白慕川察觉到她的情绪，敲敲桌子。 “嗯。” 向晚考虑一下：“从我们掌握的情况看，最像嫌疑人的叶轮，已经不太像嫌疑人了。 而周德全是现在最有嫌疑的一个人。 他是一个成功的商人，有背景，也有实力可以做这些事情……不过，我认为，他不是食物链的终端，他只是一个犯罪组织的下层头目，而这个组织的高层，也许是我们惹不起的人物。” 这个问题，她已经和白慕川讨论过。 刚才犹豫是在想，要不要在会上说出来。 毕竟周德全是只老虎，背后还有更大的老虎。 一旦开诚布公地说到这些，很多事情就会变得很复杂。 所以，她用了“我认为”，先把白慕川摘出来。 白慕川深深看她一眼，“向老师说的，也是我想说的。 他话刚说到这里，小刘就匆匆进来，“白队，王局找您！” 王局打的是内线电话，白慕川看了众人一眼，示意他们继续讨论，跟着小刘出去了。 大约十来分钟，他回来了，阴沉着脸，坐在那里半天没说话。 “白队，怎么了？” 唐元初最是没心没肺的一个，立马问。 “王局问我们案子的进展情况。” 白慕川说：“还有，周德全扣押刑警，变成了为民除害。” 办公室突然沉默。 过了片刻，唐元初压着嗓子小声问：“有个问题，其实我昨天就想问。 白队，你是故意被他扣留下来的吧？” 白慕川挑挑眉：“为什么这么问？” 唐元初想了想，“不扣留怎么落下把柄？ 不逼他，又怎么能让他现出原形？” 白慕川眉头沉了沉，不否认，也不明确表示同意，只淡淡道：“大家都加把劲儿吧，不把老虎尾巴揪住，他就得反过来咬我们了！” “明白！” 大家异口同声的回答，声音却有些弱。 或许大家都有心揪老虎，可能不能揪出老虎，在揪老虎的过程中会发生什么不可预料的事情，对他们的工作会不会有什么影响……谁都无法预料。 盘根错节的复杂关系网，让人隐隐头痛。 散会后，唐元初默默跟着白慕川，一起到办公室，关上门才说：“头儿，有个事……刚才在会上我都没好问。” 白慕川抬眼看他，“什么？” 唐元初踌躇着，“关于黄哥……大家都说他跟了周德全……我不太能接受。” 白慕川眉心皱起，看着他略显单纯的脸，淡淡地撩起一抹笑。 “相信自己。” 今天是中秋节。 本来是合家团圆的节目，可整个上午，大队的气氛都有些沉闷。 到中午快要下班的时候，市局来人了。 领导来慰问中秋，关心这些过节还坚守在一线岗位的民警。 月饼、奖励，加班费都是有的，还特地表扬了大家在这个案子里的表现。 在领导的观点里，这个悬案基本已经破了。 贾安伏法，凶手已死……看上去真的很完美。 食堂中午加了菜，给大家欢度了一下中秋节，然后就开始准备出发了。 锦城某卫视举办的中秋晚会，他们都要去执勤。
Chapter 162 Believe in YourselfTranslator: MintCatnip | Editor: AtlasStudios /Atlas StudiosAt half past nine in the morning, Bai Muchuan came out of his office without needing Xiang Wan to wake him up. He adjusted his attire, brushed his hair and called for a case analysis meeting. Frankly, if he was not that good looking, Xiang Wan wanted to tell him he had been too self-indulgent in solving the case. The Criminal Investigation Unit was consisted of different teams. Every team would get ahold of different clues and leads. It was therefore crucial to meet up and share their information with each other, collate, summarize, and decide on the next course of action. From what they have gathered from Jia An’s death scene last night, a lot of information were collected and collated. After summarizing and analyzing, the end result was not much different from their expectations. All evidence proved that Jia An was the one in the film crew of “The Grey List” that murdered Mao Guigui. After Jia An disappeared from the filming set, he had been staying in Zhao Dequan’s villa in the suburbs. In the video, besides Mao Guigui, there was no one else. Jia An’s voice could be heard in the video, though. The video showed Mao Guigui being tied up, her eyes were wide-opened as she screaming desperately when the chainsaw went toward her neck… Bai Muchuan sent Xiang Wan a text message before the video was shown in the digital conference room. “You better go to the ladies or go do something else?” “… Why?” Xiang Wan shot a puzzled glance at him. “Girls should not look at all these weird, spooky stuff.” Bai Muchuan took a look at her and did not message again. And so, Xiang Wan saw the most frightening video ever in her life. Xiang Wan had been with the team for quite some time already and had seen various kinds of pictures and information. She had already started to get numb from those bloody scenes and felt that she should be fine. But when she actually saw the chainsaw cutting the head and compared it against a horror film, the scale of horror was no match for the actual real life murder scene. Psychological hints are too frightening, she thought to herself. “This video could not prove that Jia An was the one who murdered Mao Guigui. However, it was for sure that Jia An was definitely related to the case.” “That day, Tang Yuanchu, He Wencai, Wang Chengming, and Xiang Wan were patrolling along the Avenue of Stars. Jia An was the one who made used of Chen Liu to attract the attention of the police for the sake of kidnapping Mao Guigui. However, Mao Guigui was 168 centimeters tall and weighed 50 kilogrammes. I don’t think Jia An could have kidnapped Mao Guigui without anyone noticing…” “I don’t agree!” Someone raised an objection. “Let’s not forget the fact that Jia An was also well-versed in martial arts, on top of being a props master.” Being a martial arts master meant that Jia An had real fighting skills. A man like him would not be afraid of dealing with a young university student like Mao Guigui. Moreover, this was a case of premeditated murder. Only by discussion, they could think more deeply about the problem, brainstorm, and find loopholes in their conjectures. Many murder cases had been discussed using this method. “No doubt, we have affirmed that Jia An is related to Mao Guigui’s case. But the main problem is… what is the relationship between him and Mao Guigui? Why must he kill Mao Guigui?” “There’s more. After Mao Guigui died, Jia An placed a real bullet in the gun. Why did he do that? Who did he want to kill? Ye Lun, Yu Ning, or Xie Wanwan?” These problem were currently what was bothering them. They were unable to find Jia An’s motive for killing Mao Guigui. “What had prompted him to do so?” Is it the destruction of humanity or the loss of morality? Xiang Wan’s lips twitched when she thought of this sentence. And Bai Muchuan noticed this little gesture of hers. He looked over expressionlessly. “Teacher Xiang, share with us your views.” Since she was being called upon, she had to express her views as an advisor to the team and earn their respect. “I have summarized my own viewpoints and would like to share with everyone here.” Xiang Wan got up from her seat solemnly, lowering her head as she flipped her notebook to organize her thoughts. Bai Muchuan gestured for her to sit down when she got up. “Just sit down and talk. We’re all a team.” Xiang Wan smiled shyly and nodded to everyone as she sat down and cleared her throat. “First of all, I need to make a point that—Jia An is definitely not the mastermind of the case.” She said this firmly as she looked at everyone. “Someone who can plan all these so meticulously will not allow himself to be killed so easily.” Everyone nodded their heads. “Hence,” continued Xiang Wan, “the two seemingly crucial points that Detective Xie raised earlier become not so important anymore.” Xie Hui looked over with doubt in his eyes. Xiang Wan looked at him with a polite smile. “Jia An need not have any motive to kill Mao Guigui, Ye Lun, Yu Ning, or Xie Wanwan… He was being instigated or was being threatened that he must do it, by crook or by hook… Of course, Jia An was someone who was easily threatened for he had a long history of smoking marijuana. A habit that he never managed to kick. Just this point alone was easy for someone to manipulate him.” Everyone nodded their heads once again. Bai Muchuan lifted his arm and looked at her. “Continue.” Xiang Wan looked at everyone and continued after a brief pause, “We can use an equation to set it up.” “Equation?” “Yes! Firstly, we assume the mastermind behind Jia An as Mr. X. Then, we will have Mr. X instigating Jia An to make use of Dong Bu’s gambling habits and debts to frame Ye Lun. At the same time, he got Jia An to get Chen Liu, who had a low IQ, to attract the attention of the police so he could kidnap Mao Guigui… With that, this whole case will seem reasonable.” Everyone fell silent. After a while, Tang Yuanchu blurted a question. “Teacher Xiang, is your Math good?” Tang Yuanchu: “That doesn’t seem to give me an equation?” Cough! Xiang Wan felt a little awkward. “That’s the general idea. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” “Not really,” Tang Yuanchu shook his head, “are you trying to say that the mastermind’s aim is Ye Lun?” Of course not. At least, not totally. If the mastermind was trying to target Ye Lun, there was no need to follow her novel and make it seem like it was moving in the same direction? Nevertheless, it was not suitable for her to talk about this in the meeting. Xiang Wan took a look at Bai Muchuan, who returned her gaze. “From the surface of the case, it is indeed the case. This series of things could have started from the conflict between Xie Wanwan and Ye Lun. With that, Kong Qingping’s death, Cao Mengjia’s suicide… and so on, we can see that Ye Lun has a role in it, especially in Mao Guigui’s death and her crazy celebrity chasing behaviors. Dong Bu’s statement and the surveillance footage of a man suspected to be Ye Lun visiting Mao Guigui’s hotel room had directly pushed him as the prime suspect of the case.” “The gun with the real bullet was being held by Ye Lun,” said Xiang Wan, “… if I’m not wrong, his mission was to make Ye Lun the prime suspect.” “Why do you say that?” “Logically, the most possible person to instigate Jia An to kill, should be Ye Lun.” “Hm.” Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “How do you explain about Zhou Dequan?” Xiang Wan recalled the fat man with a pot belly who smiled like the Smiling Buddha. “Of course…” Xiang Wan took a glance at Bai Muchuan as she said her words slowly and with a little hesitation. “There’s definitely a problem with Zhou Dequan, we all know that. But we don’t have evidence against him. He let Jia An stay in his house as he’s Jia An’s brother-in-law after all… He could always say that before Captain Bai appeared, he did not know that Jia An had committed all these crimes… Besides…” She did not know if she should finish what she wanted to say. Bai Muchuan noticed that and he knocked on the table. “This is a case analysis meeting, anyone in the team can speak casually.” “Okay,” Xiang Wan considered for a moment before continuing, “from what we know so far, the one who seemed to be the prime suspect was Ye Lun, but he doesn’t look like the prime suspect anymore. Zhou Dequan, at the moment, is the new prime suspect as he’s a successful businessman, has backing, and has ability to do that… However, I feel that he is not the one at the end of the food chain. He’s just a low-ranking leader of a criminal organization, and the top-ranking members of the organization might be people we can’t afford to mess with.” She had discussed this problem with Bai Muchuan. Her earlier hesitation was because she was wondering if she should say it at the meeting or not. After all, if Zhou Dequan could be considered a big fish, there was an even bigger “fish” behind. When all these were being laid on the table, a lot of things would become complicated. Hence, she used the words “I feel that”, to get Bai Muchuan out of the picture. “Teacher Xiang has said what I wanted to say.” Bai Muchuan looked at Xiang Wan deeply for a moment. “But for now, these are only our guesses. Jia An’s dead and the case…” At this moment, Little Liu came in to the meeting room. “Captain Bai, Commissioner Wang is looking for you!” Commissioner Wang had called via their internal line. Bai Muchuan looked at everyone and wanted them to continue with the discussion and followed Little Liu outside. After about more than 10 minutes later, he came back with a gloomy face and sat down on his seat for a long time without saying a word. “Captain Bai, what happened?” Tang Yuanchu, being the most forthright of all, immediately asked. “Commissioner Wang asked about our progress on the case,” said Bai Muchuan, “and, the initial act of Zhou Dequan’s ‘unlawful detainment of a detective’ has now become ‘get rid of a pest for the society’.” The meeting room was instantly quiet all of a sudden. After a short pause, Tang Yuanchu asked in a softer tone, “I have a question which I wanted to ask since yesterday. Captain Bai, you let them detain you deliberately, right?” Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow. “Why do you think this way?” “If you don’t get detained deliberately,” Tang Yuanchu gave it a thought. “How are you going to get evidence and get to know his true colors?” Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows, but he did not deny nor agree to what Tang Yuanchu said. “Everyone, do work harder! If we can’t get ahold of the fish, he’s going to come back for revenge!” “Yes, Sir!” Everyone answered at the same time, but their voices sounded a little weak. Everyone might have the heart to get the tiger, but whether they could actually do it as well as the unexpected things that might happen during the process of catching the tiger… would all these affect their work… Nobody could tell. The complex network of social relationships in the case was a pain. After the meeting was over, Tang Yuanchu followed Bai Muchuan silently to his office. “Boss, there’s something… I didn’t ask earlier just now,” Tang Yuanchu said after closing the door. Bai Muchuan gave him a glance. “What is it?” Tang Yuanchu seemed a little hesitant. “It’s about Brother Huang… Everyone said he’s now with Zhou Dequan… I couldn’t accept that.” Bai Muchuan furrowed his brows and looked at Tang Yuanchu’s young looking face. “Believe in yourself.” He gave a faint smile. That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was a festival of family reunion, but the atmosphere of the whole office was somewhat dull all morning. When it was about noon, some officials arrived from the Municipal Office. The officials were the respective leaders conveying their greetings and extending their regards about the police officers who would be on duty on this festival. There were mooncakes, rewards, and overtime pay. They also commended everyone for the hard work put in on solving the case. From the leaders’ point of view, this mystery case was basically solved. But precisely because it was too perfect, it had the same problem as the 720 case as well as the case of the fountain goddess—there were doubts that were not known but enough evidence and a clear murderer… However, to the detectives, this case was not solved at all– The canteen had added more variety of food to celebrate the festival with everyone and everyone started to prepare to go out for duty. The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was a major event hosted by respective media companies in Jin City. All of them needed to go on duty that night.

Why did he choose that mountain? Lake of Colors and Tranquil East had clearly shown their willingness to receive him just now. Only Puqiang remained indifferent, and they were even in conflict earlier!\"\nAs Su Ming moved forward, the entire Han Mountain City burst into an uproar. Almost everyone talked about it. They could not understand his actions.\nBy right, all the mountains that were connected to the Chains of Han Mountain were the same. Freezing Sky Clan did not designate a certain mountain for the challengers for when they chose disciples.\nIf it was anyone else, they would not choose Puqiang Tribe over Tranquil East Tribe, who sent their Chief of War over, or Lake of Colors Tribe, who had been the first to send their plate! The two of them were even in conflict just now, especially when the bell chime broke the fog protecting their mountain.\nNot only did the crowd not manage to wrap their heads around it, even Nan Tian and the other three Awakened Berserkers were baffled when they saw Su Ming’s actions. Nan Tian looked at Su Ming’s figure at the summit. He could not understand why he would make such a choice.\nOnly Xuan Lun’s pupils shrank. He was a guest in Puqiang to begin with and was incredibly familiar with the tribe. So even though he might no longer be a guest, the friendship they had formed over the years was still around. When he saw Su Ming’s decision, he had no idea why, but his heart lurched.\n‘He must have another plan!’\nXuan Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ming standing at the summit without a word.\nLake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe were also puzzled. The Elder and the rest of the people in Tranquil East Tribe stood at the top of their mountains and looked at Han Mountain. When they saw Su Ming moving towards Puqiang’s Chain, the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe, Fang Shen, frowned.\nA glint flashed through the Elder’s eyes before he spoke slowly.\"Kindred Mo seems to have another goal besides obtaining the right to enter Freezing Sky Clan…\"\nOn Lake of Colors Mountain, a piercing glare came from the originally exhausted Elder. She looked at Han Mountain with a pensive look on her face.\nBeside her, Yan Luan also frowned.\n\"We can give him everything that Puqiang can provide… but he still chose Puqiang. This person has a goal and has made preparations for it. He must have made his decision before he challenged the Chains of Han Mountain. His goal is not Han Mountain Bell, but… Puqiang!\" the old woman said in a hoarse voice.\nThe light in her eyes became brighter.\nThe old woman fell silent for a moment before she mumbled uncertainly, \"The only thing we can’t provide is the aura of death that Puqiang gathers with their unique Berserker Art…\"\nPuqiang Tribe was even more shocked by this compared to Tranquil East Tribe and Lake of Colors Tribe’s bewilderment. Almost at the moment Su Ming chose the Chain to Puqiang Tribe, a strange glint appeared in the eyes of the skeletal old man sitting cross-legged at the summit of Puqiang Mountain. Seven to eight people sat behind him. There were even people rushing to him quickly from below the summit.\n\"Elder…\" someone spoke hesitantly in a low voice beside the old man who looked like a skeleton.\n\"No matter. I’d like to see whether this person can make it here,\" Puqiang Tribe’s Elder said calmly, touching the bone bracelet on his right wrist with bright eyes as he stared at Han Mountain in the distance.\nRight at the moment Su Ming’s right foot stepped on the swaying Chain battered by the rain connecting to Puqiang Mountain, muffled booms reverberated through the air and covered all voices from the people in Han Mountain like muffled rumbles of thunder. The earth also trembled as if it was shaking. Eight giant pillars of 100 feet thickness rose up from the canyon underneath the Chain.\nThe eight giant stone pillars, decorated by cracks and numerous green plants, rose up from the canyons with rumbling sounds and immediately supported the swaying Chain whilst dividing it into nine sections!\nAs the eight stone pillars rose up, dust clouds soared up from within the canyon, but the moment they appeared, they were immediately washed away by the storm. Thunder rumbled in the sky like it was showing its might.\nEach of the nine sections of the Chain were very long. They connected with each other, forming a bridge-like chain path between Han Mountain and Puqiang Mountain!\nRain continued washing down the Chain, causing it to look incredibly drenched. If it was a normal person on top, they would perhaps not dare to take even a single step. Even if they did take that step, they would still fall to their deaths due to carelessness.\nThe loose and swaying Chain not only brought danger to a person’s body, but also shock to the soul. People would feel as if the canyon was right before their eyes and they would retreat instinctively. Even if someone pushed them from behind, they would still struggle to move backwards.\nThis sort of shock to the soul was hard to bear even for people who claimed to have strong willpower.\nSu Ming’s right foot landed on the Chain, but it did not stop swaying because his foot landed on it. It continued swinging in the storm, causing his right foot to sway along with it.\nSu Ming had an incredibly solemn look on his face. He had never underestimated the Chains of Han Mountain. The slippery feel was even clearer when he stepped on the Chain, and it was difficult for him to stand firmly.\nSu Ming was not the only one serious. At that moment, almost all of the people in Han Mountain City were the same. They looked at the figure in the rain and looked at the swaying Chain underneath his foot. They could not help the nervousness growing within them.\n\"Just how far… can a person who struck the bell 20 something times go?\"\n\"He chose the wrong time. The Chains of Han Mountain are much more difficult in the rain.\"\n\"It’s not a problem of timing. It’ll continue raining in this season. No matter which day he chooses, it’d still be the same.\"\nThe sounds of discussions gradually grew louder as the people’s breathing quickened. Su Ming could not hear any of it. He lifted his left foot, and the moment he steadied his right foot, he took a step forward.\nThis step might have seemed small, but it meant that both Su Ming’s feet had left the ground and left Han Mountain. At that moment, it could be said that his entire being was standing on the Chains of Han Mountain!\nThe mountain gust whistled in the air and blew past Su Ming’s body as if it wanted to push him off the Chain. It caused Su Ming’s robes to flutter and made the Chain sway even more.\nEven breathing was difficult in this windstorm. Su Ming lifted his head and looked at Puqiang Mountain located in the distance. Even his vision started swaying as he stood on the Chain.\n‘If that’s the case, it’s not really that difficult.’\nA glint appeared in Su Ming’s eyes and he stood straight before he moved forward. Each step he took landed squarely on the swaying Chain. No matter how much the Chain moved, it would seemingly move under his feet on its own to allow him to step on it.\nHe moved forward steadily. Gradually, half of the first section of the Chain was traversed. 2,000 feet away from him was a pillar of 100 feet that symbolized the end of the Chain’s first section.\nThe people in Han Mountain City were all staring at Su Ming with utmost attention as he traversed half of the first section in midair, walking towards the first stone pillar.\n\"We might not be able to see his face, but his footsteps are very stable. The first section shouldn’t be much of a problem for him.\"\n\"That’s right. But there’re nine sections to the Chains of Han Mountain. The farther you go, the stranger the Chain will be, or else it wouldn’t be so famous, neither would it be used as the test for Freezing Sky Clan to choose their disciples.\"\nThe sounds of discussion gradually calmed down and numerous pairs of eyes focused on Su Ming’s body up above. It was not just the people of Han Mountain, the tribe members and leaders of the three tribes were also looking at him. Due to Su Ming’s appearance, the day where morning had passed by in the rain became different.\nSu Ming completed the first section of the Chain with a nonplussed attitude. When he was at the end of the first section and was about to land on the first stone pillar, he suddenly trembled.\nThe moment he trembled, his body started swaying. The sudden scene immediately made all the people gathered below cry out in surprise.\n\"This… This is just the first section, and he can no longer handle it?\"\n\"Impossible! He made the bell chime 20 something times, how could he not be able to handle the first section?!\"\nCries of surprise rose and turned into an uproar in an instant.\nEven the people from Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe had their full attention immediately captured by what they just saw.\nA glint appeared in Yan Luan’s eyes and she spat out coldly, \"Cur!\"\nThe old woman by her side did not speak. Instead, she looked towards Puqiang Mountain.\nOn the summit of Tranquil East Tribe, the Elder of Tranquil East also cast a profound gaze towards Puqiang Mountain. He smiled faintly and did not speak. However, behind him, a piercing glare appeared in Fang Shen’s eyes.\n\"Since when did Puqiang become so petty?\"\nThere were dozens of people sitting on Puqiang Mountain. The Elder sat at the top amongst those people, and they were all silent.\n\"Give me a reason,\" the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said languidly.\nSu Ming lifted his head swiftly. At the moment his foot landed, a strong wave of power instantly appeared from the chain and surged into his body from his right foot without warning. That power was filled with the aura of death, as if it wanted to freeze his Qi. However, Su Ming had already obtained 979 blood veins. It would be difficult to freeze his Qi even for a normal Awakened Berserker!\nHe let out a cold harrumph. He did not lift his right foot, simply taking another step on the Chain with his left foot. At the same moment, the full force of all the Qi from the 979 blood veins in his body spread out abruptly and fused into the Chain, crashing into the incessant waves that kept charging towards from him hundreds of feet away.\nThe first stone pillar was in between the two waves of power. The stone pillar shuddered and a large amount of debris fell off, but the pillar stood tall and did not fall.\nSu Ming noticed it before. There was a strange force on the pillar that strengthened it. This force was rather familiar to him. It was the presence of Han Mountain’s ancestor.\nEven if the presence was faint, and even if Han Mountain’s ancestor had died, but the presence that was left behind on the pillar could still make sure it did not shatter.\nThe two forces of power crashed into each other and formed a muffled sound that was covered by the rumbling thunder, causing the other people to be unable to hear it clearly. On Puqiang Mountain, a middle aged man shuddered among the dozens of people sitting on the summit. Blood flowed down the corners of his mouth and he looked at the Elder of Puqiang Tribe.\n\"He touched the treasure left behind by Sir Si Ma in this place. Sir Si Ma may not think it’s worth it to be bothered by the likes of someone like him, but he has committed an offense and must be punished!\"\n\"You bit off more than you can chew…\" the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said calmly." } ]
风起天寒第178章 “是普羌峰！” “他没有选择颜池与安东，而是选择了普羌！ ！” “普羌部一向神秘，闯此峰链者不多，他为何要选择此峰？ 且颜池与安东明明露出了欢迎的姿态，唯独这普羌冷漠，且之前还有所矛盾！” 随着苏铭的一步迈去，立刻在这整个邯山城内，掀起了一场嗡鸣之声，几乎绝大部分的人都在因此事议论，苏铭的举动，让他们颇为不解。 按理说，闯邯山链的任何一峰，都是一样的，天寒宗选择弟子，也不会去指定某一峰。 相比于安东的战首亲来，颜池部的第一个送出令牌，显然若是换了其他人，都不大可能去选择有些矛盾，尤其是以钟鸣崩裂人家护山之雾的普羌！ 不但是众人不解，就连南天等四位开尘强者，在看到苏铭的举动后，也是露出迷惑，南天望着山顶上苏铭的身影，他想不出来，对方为何会有这样的选择。 唯独玄轮，双眼瞳孔猛的一缩，他之前本就是普羌的客家，对于普羌很是了解，如今虽说不再是客家身份，但多年的交情还在，此刻看到苏铭的选择，他不知为何，心中猛的一跳。 “他必有所图！” 玄轮眯起双眼，盯着山顶苏铭，沉默不语。 同样不解的，还有颜池部与安东部，安东部的蛮公等人在其部山峰，遥望邯山，当看到苏铭走向普羌铁链时，安东族长方申皱起了眉头。 “这位墨客家，除了要获得进入天寒宗的资格外，似还有其他的目的……”安东蛮公目光一闪，缓缓开口。 颜池峰，本已经疲惫的蛮公老妪，此刻双目露出凌厉之意，她望着邯山，神色有了沉思。 颜鸾在旁，也是皱起了眉头。 “普羌能给的，我颜池部都能给……但他还是选择了普羌，此人有目的，有准备，他此番闯邯山链前，定是已经有了决断，他的目标并非邯山钟，而是……普羌！” 老妪沙哑的开口，双目越加有了光芒。 “我们给不了的，只有普羌的特殊蛮术所凝聚而来的死气……”老妪沉默片刻，有些迟疑的喃喃。 相比安东与颜池的疑惑，更加对此事惊疑不定的，反倒是这普羌部了，几乎就是苏铭选择了普羌峰铁链的刹那，普羌山顶盘膝而做的那如骷髅一般的老者，其双目露出奇异之芒，他身后盘膝坐着七八人，甚至下方还有人影正急速而来。 “蛮公……”这如骷髅般的老者身旁，有人低声带着迟疑开口。 “无妨，老夫倒要看看，此人能否走来。” 普羌蛮公平静说道，摸了摸右手上的骨环，双目炯炯，盯着远处邯山。 几乎就是苏铭的右脚，踏上了这条在风雨中摇动，与普羌山峰连接的铁链的一刹那，一声声轰鸣巨响突然回荡天地，压过了邯山众人的议论，如闷闷的雷霆咆哮，大地更是有了颤抖般的震动，却见八根各有十丈粗细的巨柱，在大地的震动中从下方的深渊里轰轰而起。 这八个巨大的石柱，其上有一些裂痕，更有大量的绿色植被覆盖，轰隆隆间从深渊内升起，立刻将这摇坠着的铁链，生生的托起间，分成了九段！ 随着八根巨柱的抬起，有阵阵尘雾从深渊内出现，但这些尘土之雾几乎刚起，就立刻被暴雨消散，天空雷霆一闪，如有威声在天一吼。 这九段铁链，每一段间隔都是很远，彼此连接之下，形成了一条邯山与普羌山之间似桥一般的铁链之路！ 雨水冲洗，始终不断，使得那铁链看起来似极为湿滑，若是换了普通人，怕是连一脚都不敢落下，甚至即便是落下，也会不慎摔落而亡。 尤其是铁链松动，摇晃，给人不但在身体上造成危险，更重要的是一种心灵的冲击，如眼前就是深渊，人们会下意识的远离，即便是有人在后推着，也会挣扎的后退。 这种心灵的冲击，即便是自诩意志坚定之人，也很难不受影响。 苏铭的右脚，踏在了铁链上，这铁链不因其右脚的落下而停止晃动，依旧在风云中摇摆，带动苏铭的右腿，也有了晃动。 苏铭神色极为凝重，他从未小看这邯山链，此刻脚步落在上面，那种湿滑的感觉很是清晰，仿佛难以站稳。 凝重的不仅仅是苏铭，此刻下方邯山城的众人，几乎全部都是如此，他们望着雨幕里的身影，望着其脚下的铁链摇动，一种紧张的感觉，不由得滋生出来。 “能鸣动二十多声钟响之人，他……能走到第几段！” “他选择的时机不对，雨天的邯山链，相比难度会更大上不少。” “也并非时间问题，这个季节雨水连绵，无论哪一天都会如此。” 议论之声随着呼吸的急促，渐渐的越来越高，这一切，苏铭听不到，他左脚猛的抬起，在右脚站稳的刹那，向前走出了一步。 这一步，看起来很小，但这一步却代表了苏铭的双脚，离开了大地，离开了邯山，此刻他可以说是完全的站在了邯山链上！ 山风呼啸，从苏铭身边猛的吹过，似要将其身体推离这铁链，使得苏铭衣衫鼓动，使得那铁链摇晃更加剧烈起来，不断地荡来荡去。 在这狂风中，呼吸都会困难，苏铭抬头望着远处的普羌峰，站在这铁链上，似乎目光都有了晃动。 “若仅仅是这样，倒也并非太难。” 苏铭双目一闪，站直了身子，向前一步步走去，他每一步落下，都极为准确的踏在摇动的铁链上，不管那铁链如何动，都仿佛会自动的送入他的脚下，让他踏在上面。 他走到很稳，一步一步，在这铁链的第一段中，渐渐走过了大半，在他前方二百丈外，便是这铁链的一段尽头所在的十丈柱子。 邯山城的众人，一个个几乎目不转睛，盯着半空中苏铭的身影，看着他走过了这第一段的大半，看着他正向着那第一个石柱走去。 “此人尽管看不到神色，但其脚步很稳，这一段对他来说，没有难度。” “没错，不过这邯山链九段铁链，越是往后，就越是奇异，否则的话，也不会有如此名气，更可让天寒宗选择作为资格的测试。” 议论之声渐渐平静，无数目光凝聚在半空的苏铭身影上，除了这邯山的众人外，还有三部的族人与首领，在这清晨过去的雨天，因苏铭的出现，使得这一天，有了不同。 第一段铁链，在苏铭的波澜不惊中，走了过去，当他站在这第一段铁链的尽头，正要迈步踏上这第一根石柱的刹那，其身突然一震。 这震动之下，其身影竟有了摇摇欲坠之感，这突如其来的一幕，立刻引起了下方众人的惊呼。 “这……这才第一段，他难道就承受不住了？” “不可能，他能鸣动二十多声钟响，岂能在第一段就如此！” 惊呼此起彼伏，瞬间形成了哗然。 甚至颜池部与安东部之人，也都在看到这一幕的刹那，立刻被吸引了全部的目光。 “卑鄙！” 颜鸾目光一闪，冷笑开口。 其旁老妪，没有说话，而是看了一眼普羌峰。 安东部山顶，安东蛮公同样大有深意的看了看普羌峰，微微一笑，没有开口，但其身后的安东族长方申，却是目露凌厉之意。 “普羌何时如此小气了。” 普羌峰上，盘膝坐在那里的已有十多人，这些人以蛮公为首，一个个均都沉默。 “给我一个解释。” 苏铭猛的抬头，方才他脚步落下的刹那，立刻有一股强大的波动从铁链上传来，无声无息间顺着自己右脚冲入身体内，这股力量充满了死亡的气息，似要凝固他体内的气血，但苏铭如今的血线，已经达到了九百七十九条，就算是寻常的开尘强者，想要将其凝固，也是颇有难度！ 他冷哼一声，不但右脚没有抬起，反倒左脚继续向前一步踏在这铁链上，与此同时，其体内九百七十九条血线之力顺着双脚蓦然散开，融入铁链上，与那持续来临的波动，在他前方数十丈外，碰到了一起。 这两股波动之力，中间阻隔了那第一座石柱，此石柱一震之下，有大量的碎石脱落下来，但却始终巍峨不倒。 苏铭之前就有所察觉，此石柱上有一层奇异的加固之力，这股力量让他有些熟悉，正是属于邯山老祖的气息。 尽管这气息很淡，尽管邯山老祖已经死亡，但余留在这柱子上的气息，还可维持此柱不毁。 两股力量碰撞形成的闷轰之声被天空的雷霆之音隐藏，让人无法清晰听闻的同时，普羌峰顶，盘膝的十多人里，有一个中年男子身子一颤，嘴角溢出了鲜血，看向普羌蛮公。 “他动了司马大人留在此地的宝物，司马大人不屑与其见识，但此人冒犯之罪，必要被惩罚！” “自不量力……”普羌蛮公平静开口。
178 The Chains of Han Mountain "It’s Puqiang Tribe!" "He didn’t choose Lake of Colors or Tranquil East, but Puqiang!" "Puqiang Tribe has always been mysterious, and there are few who challenge the Chain of this mountain. Why did he choose that mountain? Lake of Colors and Tranquil East had clearly shown their willingness to receive him just now. Only Puqiang remained indifferent, and they were even in conflict earlier!" As Su Ming moved forward, the entire Han Mountain City burst into an uproar. Almost everyone talked about it. They could not understand his actions. By right, all the mountains that were connected to the Chains of Han Mountain were the same. Freezing Sky Clan did not designate a certain mountain for the challengers for when they chose disciples. If it was anyone else, they would not choose Puqiang Tribe over Tranquil East Tribe, who sent their Chief of War over, or Lake of Colors Tribe, who had been the first to send their plate! The two of them were even in conflict just now, especially when the bell chime broke the fog protecting their mountain. Not only did the crowd not manage to wrap their heads around it, even Nan Tian and the other three Awakened Berserkers were baffled when they saw Su Ming’s actions. Nan Tian looked at Su Ming’s figure at the summit. He could not understand why he would make such a choice. Only Xuan Lun’s pupils shrank. He was a guest in Puqiang to begin with and was incredibly familiar with the tribe. So even though he might no longer be a guest, the friendship they had formed over the years was still around. When he saw Su Ming’s decision, he had no idea why, but his heart lurched. ‘He must have another plan!’ Xuan Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ming standing at the summit without a word. Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe were also puzzled. The Elder and the rest of the people in Tranquil East Tribe stood at the top of their mountains and looked at Han Mountain. When they saw Su Ming moving towards Puqiang’s Chain, the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe, Fang Shen, frowned. A glint flashed through the Elder’s eyes before he spoke slowly."Kindred Mo seems to have another goal besides obtaining the right to enter Freezing Sky Clan…" On Lake of Colors Mountain, a piercing glare came from the originally exhausted Elder. She looked at Han Mountain with a pensive look on her face. Beside her, Yan Luan also frowned. "We can give him everything that Puqiang can provide… but he still chose Puqiang. This person has a goal and has made preparations for it. He must have made his decision before he challenged the Chains of Han Mountain. His goal is not Han Mountain Bell, but… Puqiang!" the old woman said in a hoarse voice. The light in her eyes became brighter. The old woman fell silent for a moment before she mumbled uncertainly, "The only thing we can’t provide is the aura of death that Puqiang gathers with their unique Berserker Art…" Puqiang Tribe was even more shocked by this compared to Tranquil East Tribe and Lake of Colors Tribe’s bewilderment. Almost at the moment Su Ming chose the Chain to Puqiang Tribe, a strange glint appeared in the eyes of the skeletal old man sitting cross-legged at the summit of Puqiang Mountain. Seven to eight people sat behind him. There were even people rushing to him quickly from below the summit. "Elder…" someone spoke hesitantly in a low voice beside the old man who looked like a skeleton. "No matter. I’d like to see whether this person can make it here," Puqiang Tribe’s Elder said calmly, touching the bone bracelet on his right wrist with bright eyes as he stared at Han Mountain in the distance. Right at the moment Su Ming’s right foot stepped on the swaying Chain battered by the rain connecting to Puqiang Mountain, muffled booms reverberated through the air and covered all voices from the people in Han Mountain like muffled rumbles of thunder. The earth also trembled as if it was shaking. Eight giant pillars of 100 feet thickness rose up from the canyon underneath the Chain. The eight giant stone pillars, decorated by cracks and numerous green plants, rose up from the canyons with rumbling sounds and immediately supported the swaying Chain whilst dividing it into nine sections! As the eight stone pillars rose up, dust clouds soared up from within the canyon, but the moment they appeared, they were immediately washed away by the storm. Thunder rumbled in the sky like it was showing its might. Each of the nine sections of the Chain were very long. They connected with each other, forming a bridge-like chain path between Han Mountain and Puqiang Mountain! Rain continued washing down the Chain, causing it to look incredibly drenched. If it was a normal person on top, they would perhaps not dare to take even a single step. Even if they did take that step, they would still fall to their deaths due to carelessness. The loose and swaying Chain not only brought danger to a person’s body, but also shock to the soul. People would feel as if the canyon was right before their eyes and they would retreat instinctively. Even if someone pushed them from behind, they would still struggle to move backwards. This sort of shock to the soul was hard to bear even for people who claimed to have strong willpower. Su Ming’s right foot landed on the Chain, but it did not stop swaying because his foot landed on it. It continued swinging in the storm, causing his right foot to sway along with it. Su Ming had an incredibly solemn look on his face. He had never underestimated the Chains of Han Mountain. The slippery feel was even clearer when he stepped on the Chain, and it was difficult for him to stand firmly. Su Ming was not the only one serious. At that moment, almost all of the people in Han Mountain City were the same. They looked at the figure in the rain and looked at the swaying Chain underneath his foot. They could not help the nervousness growing within them. "Just how far… can a person who struck the bell 20 something times go?" "He chose the wrong time. The Chains of Han Mountain are much more difficult in the rain." "It’s not a problem of timing. It’ll continue raining in this season. No matter which day he chooses, it’d still be the same." The sounds of discussions gradually grew louder as the people’s breathing quickened. Su Ming could not hear any of it. He lifted his left foot, and the moment he steadied his right foot, he took a step forward. This step might have seemed small, but it meant that both Su Ming’s feet had left the ground and left Han Mountain. At that moment, it could be said that his entire being was standing on the Chains of Han Mountain! The mountain gust whistled in the air and blew past Su Ming’s body as if it wanted to push him off the Chain. It caused Su Ming’s robes to flutter and made the Chain sway even more. Even breathing was difficult in this windstorm. Su Ming lifted his head and looked at Puqiang Mountain located in the distance. Even his vision started swaying as he stood on the Chain. ‘If that’s the case, it’s not really that difficult.’ A glint appeared in Su Ming’s eyes and he stood straight before he moved forward. Each step he took landed squarely on the swaying Chain. No matter how much the Chain moved, it would seemingly move under his feet on its own to allow him to step on it. He moved forward steadily. Gradually, half of the first section of the Chain was traversed. 2,000 feet away from him was a pillar of 100 feet that symbolized the end of the Chain’s first section. The people in Han Mountain City were all staring at Su Ming with utmost attention as he traversed half of the first section in midair, walking towards the first stone pillar. "We might not be able to see his face, but his footsteps are very stable. The first section shouldn’t be much of a problem for him." "That’s right. But there’re nine sections to the Chains of Han Mountain. The farther you go, the stranger the Chain will be, or else it wouldn’t be so famous, neither would it be used as the test for Freezing Sky Clan to choose their disciples." The sounds of discussion gradually calmed down and numerous pairs of eyes focused on Su Ming’s body up above. It was not just the people of Han Mountain, the tribe members and leaders of the three tribes were also looking at him. Due to Su Ming’s appearance, the day where morning had passed by in the rain became different. Su Ming completed the first section of the Chain with a nonplussed attitude. When he was at the end of the first section and was about to land on the first stone pillar, he suddenly trembled. The moment he trembled, his body started swaying. The sudden scene immediately made all the people gathered below cry out in surprise. "This… This is just the first section, and he can no longer handle it?" "Impossible! He made the bell chime 20 something times, how could he not be able to handle the first section?!" Cries of surprise rose and turned into an uproar in an instant. Even the people from Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe had their full attention immediately captured by what they just saw. A glint appeared in Yan Luan’s eyes and she spat out coldly, "Cur!" The old woman by her side did not speak. Instead, she looked towards Puqiang Mountain. On the summit of Tranquil East Tribe, the Elder of Tranquil East also cast a profound gaze towards Puqiang Mountain. He smiled faintly and did not speak. However, behind him, a piercing glare appeared in Fang Shen’s eyes. "Since when did Puqiang become so petty?" There were dozens of people sitting on Puqiang Mountain. The Elder sat at the top amongst those people, and they were all silent. "Give me a reason," the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said languidly. Su Ming lifted his head swiftly. At the moment his foot landed, a strong wave of power instantly appeared from the chain and surged into his body from his right foot without warning. That power was filled with the aura of death, as if it wanted to freeze his Qi. However, Su Ming had already obtained 979 blood veins. It would be difficult to freeze his Qi even for a normal Awakened Berserker! He let out a cold harrumph. He did not lift his right foot, simply taking another step on the Chain with his left foot. At the same moment, the full force of all the Qi from the 979 blood veins in his body spread out abruptly and fused into the Chain, crashing into the incessant waves that kept charging towards from him hundreds of feet away. The first stone pillar was in between the two waves of power. The stone pillar shuddered and a large amount of debris fell off, but the pillar stood tall and did not fall. Su Ming noticed it before. There was a strange force on the pillar that strengthened it. This force was rather familiar to him. It was the presence of Han Mountain’s ancestor. Even if the presence was faint, and even if Han Mountain’s ancestor had died, but the presence that was left behind on the pillar could still make sure it did not shatter. The two forces of power crashed into each other and formed a muffled sound that was covered by the rumbling thunder, causing the other people to be unable to hear it clearly. On Puqiang Mountain, a middle aged man shuddered among the dozens of people sitting on the summit. Blood flowed down the corners of his mouth and he looked at the Elder of Puqiang Tribe. "He touched the treasure left behind by Sir Si Ma in this place. Sir Si Ma may not think it’s worth it to be bothered by the likes of someone like him, but he has committed an offense and must be punished!" "You bit off more than you can chew…" the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said calmly.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 寂静没有持续多久，拍卖场轰然作响。\n蛊仙们交相议论，大厅中许多蛊仙将目光直接投射在某个单间。\n这个单间，正是“幽兰仙子”所在之处。\n人们下意识地想看看，做出这个惊人决定的“幽兰剑师”此刻到底是什么表情。\n作为主持者的秦百胜也有些发怔，他询问道：“以两换一，幽兰仙子你是这个意思吗？”\n凤九歌既然做下如此决定，此时没有任何的犹豫了。\n听到凤九歌再次的确定，大厅中的议论声倒是小了下去。\n凤九歌是音道蛊仙，为什么他的手中，为什么会有两只力道仙蛊？\n事实上，他手中的仙蛊，还远不止这两只。\n凤九歌率领十多位蛊仙，秘密来到北原，身怀重任。 首要任务，是查明八十八角真阳楼倒塌，提前利用中洲十大古派布置的真凶。 次要任务，是尽可能多的收集仙蛊。\n其中之一，就是抱着换蛊的想法，从各自的门派中带了不少仙蛊过来。\n毕竟，蛊虫难以抢夺。 蛊师一个念头，就能轻轻松松地令蛊虫瞬间自毁。\n凤九歌等人身在中洲时，就已然听说此事。 可以说，这一次凤九歌潜入拍卖大会。\n当今天下，力道不昌，早已衰弱。 有条件，有野心的，打死也不会选择力道去修行。\n用这等蛊虫，去换取其他蛊虫。 对于十大古派而言，也是一种胜利。\n东海蛊仙，虽然是八转大能。 但真正比较起来，还是输给凤九歌的。\n毕竟凤九歌此行，是十大古派在背后授意，支持他。 而东海蛊仙秘密潜入北原。\n凤九歌有这种魄力，敢于二换一，但是他却没有。\n但是他又不甘心。\n于是做出最后努力，竞价道：“我再加……一颗檀香圣象的巨蛋！”\n大厅中，旋即又响起一片轻呼之声。\n“檀香圣象，乃是上古荒兽。 抚养长大之后，可战七转蛊仙。”\n“关键就是从小培养，可以建立深厚的感情。 背叛的几率小之又小。”\n“一头活的上古荒兽，价值远不止如此。 处理得当的话。\n“这第一密室中的蛊仙，也算是另辟蹊径了。 这应对真的不错，一只仙蛊和一头上古荒兽，两者比较，各有优劣，很难取舍。”\n“仙蛊唯一是不错，但上古荒兽也很有用处。 尤其卖方似乎对炼道很有想法的样子，说不定就会动心，选择上古荒兽。”\n到了这一步，凤九歌、东海蛊仙也都停止了竞价。\n现在的局面，不好说。\n凤九歌以二换一，气魄够大，赢面也大一些。 但东海蛊仙应对得当，也有获胜的可能。\n拍卖场渐渐安静下来，所有人都在等待着方源做出决定。\n这场意料之外的拍卖高潮，究竟如何落幕，浪迹天涯仙蛊又花落谁家？\n众人心中都被激发了期待之情。\n方源考虑了一下，便做出决定，暗中告知了秦百胜。\n秦百胜点点头，当众宣布道：“卖家已做决定，将浪迹天涯仙蛊卖给幽兰仙子！”\n此话一出，大家尽皆松了一口气，纷纷评论。\n“幽兰仙子能够获胜，也是情喇中。”\n“到底是二换一啊。”\n“若是我选，我就选上古荒兽。 毕竟两只仙蛊，仙元用度也大。”\n“这只浪迹天涯仙蛊，到底是哪个幸运儿的？ 居然卖出了如此高价，一只仙蛊换来了两只仙蛊！”\n“是啊，若非亲眼所见，打死我都不会相信此事。”\n“幽兰仙子，或者说背后的凤仙太子，一定别有所图。 他们不可能是笨蛋，既然能出这么高的价，那么一定能带给他们更大的好处！”\n“只要有需求，就会有市场。 能产生利润。\n不止他们，方源也在揣测这位“幽兰剑师”，高价买下浪迹天涯仙蛊的用意。\n“凤仙太子……”东海蛊仙口中咀嚼着这个名字，脸上不免带着微微阴沉之色。\n拍卖大会继续下去，接下来轮到一只土道仙蛊。\n但气氛却是一落千丈，大部分蛊仙的心思明显还停留在方才，很多人仍旧在小声谈论着。\n究竟什么是财大气粗，众人终于是见到了，开了眼界。\n尽管也有很多人疑惑，凤仙太子乃是变化道蛊修，怎么忽然将对水道仙蛊产生了兴趣？\n但八转大能的心思，深不可测，远不是外人胡乱猜测的。\n原本一只主流流派的仙蛊，几轮竞价之后，迅速成交，让人颇有些灰溜溜的感觉。\n对此秦百胜也颇为无奈，只能暗暗苦笑。\n高潮之后，就是低迷。 毕竟前番凤九歌、东海蛊仙两人竞价，气势逼人，众人的心气劲头都被削弱了很多。\n方源坐在密室中，一边把玩着两只力道仙蛊，一边耐心地关注着拍卖会继续下去。\n拍卖仙蛊的交易是当场进行的。\n那些仙材。 方源都清点了，数量质量都无误。\n两只力道仙蛊，在凤九歌的主动配合下。 已经被方源完全炼化，成了自僧物。\n同样的，浪迹天涯仙蛊也落在凤九歌的手中。\n“这就是浪迹天涯仙蛊……多少年了，终于再次回到了灵缘斋的手里。”\n一只只仙蛊拍卖出去，经过一段时间的积蓄，拍卖场的气氛再度热烈起来。\n防护自身。 卖家要求一只智道仙蛊。” 秦百胜朗声道。\n大厅中的蛊仙们，却是兴趣缺缺。\n力道已经式微，很少有人修行了，因此市场很小。\n暗中焦急的时候。 一个沙哑的独特声音从单间中传出：“智道仙蛊儿女情长。”\n“这个声音，是霸仙楚度！” 旋即，大厅中有人低呼出口。\n“不错，应该是他，他的声音就是如此沙哑。”\n“想不到霸仙也来了。”\n“这有什么奇怪的，楚度大人乃是有名的力道强者，秦百胜怎么会不邀请他呢？”\n“霸仙楚度……”单间中，凤九歌喝着清茶。\n双眼微亮。 他来北原之前，早就熟知情报。 霸仙楚度的情报。\n楚度乃是当今罕见的力道蛊仙，不仅战力强盛，而且才情横溢，创造出崭新的力道小流派。\n力道是个很大的流派，曾经辉煌一时。 如今在力道中，又细分为兽力虚影流、气象天地流、人力钧力流。\n兽力虚影流，就是牛力、虎力等等，方源不久前得到的力道仙蛊铁冠鹰力蛊，就属于此流派。\n气象天地流，是风力、水力、火力等等天地自然力。 比如方源拍卖浪迹天涯仙蛊，得到的拔山、挽澜，就是此流派。\n人力钧力流，则是斤力蛊、十斤之力蛊、一钧之力蛊、十钧之力蛊、百钧之力蛊这些。\n这个小流派，就是霸仙楚度一个人独自开创，引领潮流，令老朽迟暮的力道重新焕发青春的光辉。\n现在，人力钧力流已经成为五域力道的主流，整个北原蛊师，大多数都有力道的底子，他们几乎都采用斤力蛊、十斤之力蛊、一钧之力蛊、十钧之力蛊等等。\n可以说，霸仙楚度一人，改变了力道的现状，影响了天下蛊修流派的格局。\n这样的人物，凤九歌当然要重视，而且是十分重视。\n“北原战乱频繁，也是英雄辈出之地。 若是有机会，一定要好好见见这位霸仙。”\n凤九歌的嘴角处，浮现出一抹兴奋的笑意。\n这时，一个声音传出：“乐山乐水仙蛊一只，再添云泥万斤。”\n噗。 凤九歌将口中的茶水噗出，双眼瞪圆，再无方才的淡定之色。\n“乐山乐意仙蛊！” 他轻呼一声，“该死，担心的事情还是发生了。”\n仙蛊可以用来拍卖，自然也可以当做筹码，交换其他仙蛊。 若非如此，记录在案的仙蛊被卡着，不能流通，将大大不利于拍卖的进行。\n这个规矩，凤九歌当然了解，也最担心。\n担心什么，就来什么。\n形如巨柱，极高极长。 天柱风刮起来，从不移动，就在原地刮吹。 从外面看过去，就像是撑天巨柱一样。\n一道天柱风，价值很高，绝不输给凤九歌之前报价的一百五十片雷音叶。\n“霸仙楚度……”方源口中喃喃，有所觉悟，“看来你便是我此次最大的竞争对手了！”.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The silence did not last for long, the auction hall exploded into a commotion soon afterwards.\nThe Gu Immortals talked among themselves, as many of the Gu Immortals in the hall directed their gaze towards a single room.\nThis single room was the place where ‘Fairy You Lan’ was inside.\nEveryone subconsciously wanted to see what expression ‘Swordmaster You Lan’ had when she made such a shocking decision.\nEven the organizer, Qin Bai Sheng, was a bit stunned, he asked: “Exchanging two for one, is that what you mean, Fairy You Lan?”\n“That is the case.” Feng Jiu Ge made the decision already, he had no more hesitations.\nHearing Feng Jiu Ge’s confirmation, the discussions in the hall became softer.\nFeng Jiu Ge was a sound path Gu Immortal, why did he have two strength path Immortal Gu in his possession?\nIn truth, he had many more Immortal Gu than just these two.\nFeng Jiu Ge led the ten Gu Immortals into Northern Plains secretly, he had important missions assigned to him. The first was to find the culprit behind the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the person who activated Central Continent’s arrangements in advance. The second one was to collect as many Immortal Gu as he could. To achieve this target, the Central Continent Gu Immortals prepared many methods.\nOne of the ways was to exchange Gu, thus they brought along many Immortal Gu from their sects.\nAfter all, Gu worms were hard to snatch. A Gu Master can destroy their own Gu worms in an instant with just a thought. The same applied to Immortal Gu.\nIt could be said that Feng Jiu Ge’s appearance in the auction was not a last minute decision, he had planned for it long ago.\nIn the current world, strength path was not doing well, it had been weakening, those with enough wealth and ambition would certainly not choose to cultivate in strength path.\nUsing these Gu worms to exchange for Gu worms of other paths, to the ten sects, this was a form of victory.\nAlthough the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal was a rank eight great expert, when they truly competed, he still lost to Feng Jiu Ge.\nAfter all, Feng Jiu Ge was backed by the ten great ancient sects. Meanwhile, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal entered Northern Plains secretly and attended this auction, it was his personal matter.\nFeng Jiu Ge had the resolution to do a two for one exchange, but he did not.\nBut he was not resigned.\nHe made a final effort, bidding: “I will add… a sandalwood sacred elephant egg!”\nA small commotion occurred in the hall again.\n“A sandalwood sacred elephant is an ancient desolate beast, after it grows to adulthood, it can rival rank seven Gu Immortals.”\n“The most important thing is to raise it from a young age, establishing a deep relationship, there would be a low chance of betrayal.”\n“A living ancient desolate beast’s value is very high. If managed well, it is like a treasure trove with endless value. The blood of the sacred elephant is a good immortal material, the tusks of the sacred elephant will grow back even if they are removed.”\n“The Gu Immortal in the first secret room is using another approach. This is quite impressive, an Immortal Gu versus an ancient desolate beast, comparing the two, they each have their advantages and disadvantages, it is hard to decide.”\n“Immortal Gu are indeed unique, but ancient desolate beasts are useful too. Especially when the seller seems to have interest in refinement path, he might be moved and choose the ancient desolate beast.” The people discussed.\nAt this point, Feng Jiu Ge and the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal stopped bidding.\nThe situation was uncertain now.\nFeng Jiu Ge was exchanging two for one, he had great resolution and had a better chance. But the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal’s offer was similarly enticing, he had a chance of victory too.\nAs the auction hall turned silent, everyone was waiting for Fang Yuan’s decision.\nThis was an unexpected climactic moment of the auction, how would it end, who would be the winner that obtains worldly wave trace Immortal Gu?\nEveryone was waiting in anticipation.\nFang Yuan thought about it before making his decision, informing Qin Bai Sheng secretly.\nQin Bai Sheng nodded, announcing publicly: “The seller has decided, they will sell worldly wave trace Immortal Gu to Fairy You Lan!”\nOnce he said that, everyone breathed out in relief, starting their discussions.\n“It was logical that Fairy You Lan won.”\n“It was a two for one trade after all.”\n“If it was me, I would choose the ancient desolate beast. After all, the immortal essence expenditure of using two Immortal Gu is high.”\n“Which lucky person does this worldly wave trace Immortal Gu belong to? He actually sold it for such a good price, one Immortal Gu in exchange for two!”\n“Indeed, if I had not witnessed this personally, I would never believe it.”\n“Fairy You Lan, or rather, Prince Feng Xian definitely has other objectives. They are not fools, since they are offering such a high price, then the benefits they can gain must also be higher!”\n“As long as there is demand, there is a market, and profits can be gained. The greater the demand, the greater the profit.”\nNot just them, even Fang Yuan was trying to decipher the reason why ‘Swordmaster You Lan’ was buying worldly wave trace Immortal Gu at such a high price.\n“Prince Feng Xian…” The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal muttered this name as his expression turned slightly dark.\nAs the auction continued, an earth path Immortal Gu appeared next.\nBut the atmosphere was far beneath that of earlier, most of the Gu Immortals were still thinking about the earlier situation, they were still discussing it.\nWhat was the meaning of affluence and wealth, they had finally seen it clearly.\nEven though many people were suspicious, why would Prince Feng Xian, a fire path cultivator, be interested in a water path Immortal Gu?\nBut the mind of a rank eight great expert was hard to decipher, it was not something an outsider could guess so easily.\nA mainstream path Immortal Gu was rapidly sold after several rounds of bidding, the quick deal gave people a relatively boring feeling.\nTowards this, Qin Bai Sheng was helpless, he could only smile bitterly.\nAfter the climax, it would be the downturn. After all, Feng Jiu Ge and the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal’s bids were too imposing, it weakened a lot of the Gu Immortals’ desires to bid.\nFang Yuan sat in a secret room, playing with the two strength path Immortal Gu as he paid attention to the auction.\nTransactions involving Immortal Gu were done on the spot.\nFang Yuan looked through those immortal materials, he checked that there was no issue with the quantity.\nThrough Feng Jiu Ge’s cooperation, the two strength path Immortal Gu were completely refined by Fang Yuan, they were now his.\nAt the same time, worldly wave trace Immortal Gu was in Feng Jiu Ge’s hands.\n“This is worldly wave trace Immortal Gu… after so many years, it is finally back in Spirit Affinity House’s hands.” Feng Jiu Ge sighed softly, he felt some emotions.\nAs Immortal Gu were auctioned off one by one, as time passed, the atmosphere of the auction hall became heated once again.\n“Next is the thirty-fourth auction item, strength path Immortal Gu — Cauldron Strength, this is a rare strength path defensive Immortal Gu. Once activated, it can create a strength cauldron, protecting oneself. The seller wants a wisdom path Immortal Gu.” Qin Bai Sheng said.\nMost of the Gu Immortals in the hall had little interest.\nStrength path was declining, few people cultivated it, thus its demand in the market was small.\nJust as the owner of cauldron strength Immortal Gu was anxious, a hoarse and unique voice came from a single room: “Wisdom path Immortal Gu Loving Affection.”\n“This voice, it’s Domination Immortal Chu Du!” Immediately, someone in the hall shouted.\n“That’s right, it should be him, his voice is hoarse like this.”\n“To think that Domination Immortal came.”\n“What is so strange about it, Lord Chu Du is a famous strength path expert, why would Qin Bai Sheng not invite him?”\n“Domination Immortal Chu Du…” In a single room, Feng Jiu Ge drank his tea as his eyes shined.\nBefore he came to Northern Plains, he had obtained some information. The information regarding Domination Immortal Chu Du was rich and had a lot of details, Feng Jiu Ge placed great emphasis on him.\nChu Du was a rare strength path Gu Immortal, not only did he have great battle strength, he even had overflowing talent, creating a side branch of strength path personally.\nStrength path was a huge path, it had once flourished. Right now, strength path was split into beast strength phantom branch, atmospheric heaven and earth branch, as well as human strength jun strength branch.\nThe beast strength phantom branch included bull strength, tiger strength and others, the strength path Immortal Gu, iron crown eagle strength Gu, that Fang Yuan had obtained some time ago was in this branch.\nAtmospheric heaven and earth branch was the strength of nature, like wind strength, water strength, fire strength and others. Or for example, Pulling Mountain and Pulling Water that Fang Yuan obtained from selling worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, both belonged to this branch.\nHuman strength jun strength branch referred to the jin strength Gu, strength of ten jin Gu, jun strength Gu, strength of ten jun Gu, strength of hundred jun Gu and others.\nThis small branch was created solely by Chu Du, he brought strength path onto another track and revitalized this dying path using his own methods.\nRight now, the human strength jun strength branch was already the mainstream strength path cultivation in Northern Plains. All the Gu Masters in Northern Plains had a strength path foundation, they had all used jin strength Gu, strength of ten jin Gu, jun strength Gu, strength of ten jun Gu and others.\nOne could say that Domination Immortal Chu Du had singlehandedly turned around the situation of strength path, affecting all of the Gu cultivator paths in the world.\nFeng Jiu Ge naturally had to pay a lot of attention to such a person, in fact, it was particularly great emphasis.\n“Northern Plains is constantly engaged in battles, it is also a place where heroes emerge. If there is a chance, I have to meet this Domination Immortal.” Feng Jiu Ge’s mouth curled into an excited smile.\nMeeting all of the heroes in this world, that was the ambition of a true man!\nAt this time, a voice echoed: ” Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, and five thousand kilograms of cloud soil.”\nGuh. Feng Jiu Ge spat out the tea in his mouth, his eyes stared widely as he lost his calm.\n“Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu!” He shouted: “Damn it, my worry came true.”\nImmortal Gu could be placed up for auction, they could naturally be used to trade for other Immortal Gu as well. If not for this, all of the registered Immortal Gu would be held up and not available for trade, this would greatly affect the auction’s success.\nFeng Jiu Ge understood this rule, and thus he was worried about it.\nWhatever you worried about was bound to happen.\nHeaven pillar wind was quite special, it originated from green heaven. It was like a tall pillar, extremely tall and long. When it blows, it will not cause movement, only blowing on the spot, from outside, it resembled a giant pillar that extended into the sky.\nOne heaven pillar wind had high value, it did not lose to Feng Jiu Ge’s earlier bid of a hundred and fifty thunder sound leaves.\n“Domination Immortal Chu Du…” Fang Yuan muttered, immediately understanding: “It seems that you are my biggest competitor this time!”" } ]
寂静没有持续多久，拍卖场轰然作响。 蛊仙们交相议论，大厅中许多蛊仙将目光直接投射在某个单间。 这个单间，正是“幽兰仙子”所在之处。 人们下意识地想看看，做出这个惊人决定的“幽兰剑师”此刻到底是什么表情。 作为主持者的秦百胜也有些发怔，他询问道：“以两换一，幽兰仙子你是这个意思吗？” 凤九歌既然做下如此决定，此时没有任何的犹豫了。 听到凤九歌再次的确定，大厅中的议论声倒是小了下去。 凤九歌是音道蛊仙，为什么他的手中，为什么会有两只力道仙蛊？ 事实上，他手中的仙蛊，还远不止这两只。 凤九歌率领十多位蛊仙，秘密来到北原，身怀重任。 首要任务，是查明八十八角真阳楼倒塌，提前利用中洲十大古派布置的真凶。 次要任务，是尽可能多的收集仙蛊。 其中之一，就是抱着换蛊的想法，从各自的门派中带了不少仙蛊过来。 毕竟，蛊虫难以抢夺。 蛊师一个念头，就能轻轻松松地令蛊虫瞬间自毁。 凤九歌等人身在中洲时，就已然听说此事。 可以说，这一次凤九歌潜入拍卖大会。 当今天下，力道不昌，早已衰弱。 有条件，有野心的，打死也不会选择力道去修行。 用这等蛊虫，去换取其他蛊虫。 对于十大古派而言，也是一种胜利。 东海蛊仙，虽然是八转大能。 但真正比较起来，还是输给凤九歌的。 毕竟凤九歌此行，是十大古派在背后授意，支持他。 而东海蛊仙秘密潜入北原。 凤九歌有这种魄力，敢于二换一，但是他却没有。 但是他又不甘心。 于是做出最后努力，竞价道：“我再加……一颗檀香圣象的巨蛋！” 大厅中，旋即又响起一片轻呼之声。 “檀香圣象，乃是上古荒兽。 抚养长大之后，可战七转蛊仙。” “关键就是从小培养，可以建立深厚的感情。 背叛的几率小之又小。” “一头活的上古荒兽，价值远不止如此。 处理得当的话。 “这第一密室中的蛊仙，也算是另辟蹊径了。 这应对真的不错，一只仙蛊和一头上古荒兽，两者比较，各有优劣，很难取舍。” “仙蛊唯一是不错，但上古荒兽也很有用处。 尤其卖方似乎对炼道很有想法的样子，说不定就会动心，选择上古荒兽。” 到了这一步，凤九歌、东海蛊仙也都停止了竞价。 现在的局面，不好说。 凤九歌以二换一，气魄够大，赢面也大一些。 但东海蛊仙应对得当，也有获胜的可能。 拍卖场渐渐安静下来，所有人都在等待着方源做出决定。 这场意料之外的拍卖高潮，究竟如何落幕，浪迹天涯仙蛊又花落谁家？ 众人心中都被激发了期待之情。 方源考虑了一下，便做出决定，暗中告知了秦百胜。 秦百胜点点头，当众宣布道：“卖家已做决定，将浪迹天涯仙蛊卖给幽兰仙子！” 此话一出，大家尽皆松了一口气，纷纷评论。 “幽兰仙子能够获胜，也是情喇中。” “到底是二换一啊。” “若是我选，我就选上古荒兽。 毕竟两只仙蛊，仙元用度也大。” “这只浪迹天涯仙蛊，到底是哪个幸运儿的？ 居然卖出了如此高价，一只仙蛊换来了两只仙蛊！” “是啊，若非亲眼所见，打死我都不会相信此事。” “幽兰仙子，或者说背后的凤仙太子，一定别有所图。 他们不可能是笨蛋，既然能出这么高的价，那么一定能带给他们更大的好处！” “只要有需求，就会有市场。 能产生利润。 不止他们，方源也在揣测这位“幽兰剑师”，高价买下浪迹天涯仙蛊的用意。 “凤仙太子……”东海蛊仙口中咀嚼着这个名字，脸上不免带着微微阴沉之色。 拍卖大会继续下去，接下来轮到一只土道仙蛊。 但气氛却是一落千丈，大部分蛊仙的心思明显还停留在方才，很多人仍旧在小声谈论着。 究竟什么是财大气粗，众人终于是见到了，开了眼界。 尽管也有很多人疑惑，凤仙太子乃是变化道蛊修，怎么忽然将对水道仙蛊产生了兴趣？ 但八转大能的心思，深不可测，远不是外人胡乱猜测的。 原本一只主流流派的仙蛊，几轮竞价之后，迅速成交，让人颇有些灰溜溜的感觉。 对此秦百胜也颇为无奈，只能暗暗苦笑。 高潮之后，就是低迷。 毕竟前番凤九歌、东海蛊仙两人竞价，气势逼人，众人的心气劲头都被削弱了很多。 方源坐在密室中，一边把玩着两只力道仙蛊，一边耐心地关注着拍卖会继续下去。 拍卖仙蛊的交易是当场进行的。 那些仙材。 方源都清点了，数量质量都无误。 两只力道仙蛊，在凤九歌的主动配合下。 已经被方源完全炼化，成了自僧物。 同样的，浪迹天涯仙蛊也落在凤九歌的手中。 “这就是浪迹天涯仙蛊……多少年了，终于再次回到了灵缘斋的手里。” 一只只仙蛊拍卖出去，经过一段时间的积蓄，拍卖场的气氛再度热烈起来。 防护自身。 卖家要求一只智道仙蛊。” 秦百胜朗声道。 大厅中的蛊仙们，却是兴趣缺缺。 力道已经式微，很少有人修行了，因此市场很小。 暗中焦急的时候。 一个沙哑的独特声音从单间中传出：“智道仙蛊儿女情长。” “这个声音，是霸仙楚度！” 旋即，大厅中有人低呼出口。 “不错，应该是他，他的声音就是如此沙哑。” “想不到霸仙也来了。” “这有什么奇怪的，楚度大人乃是有名的力道强者，秦百胜怎么会不邀请他呢？” “霸仙楚度……”单间中，凤九歌喝着清茶。 双眼微亮。 他来北原之前，早就熟知情报。 霸仙楚度的情报。 楚度乃是当今罕见的力道蛊仙，不仅战力强盛，而且才情横溢，创造出崭新的力道小流派。 力道是个很大的流派，曾经辉煌一时。 如今在力道中，又细分为兽力虚影流、气象天地流、人力钧力流。 兽力虚影流，就是牛力、虎力等等，方源不久前得到的力道仙蛊铁冠鹰力蛊，就属于此流派。 气象天地流，是风力、水力、火力等等天地自然力。 比如方源拍卖浪迹天涯仙蛊，得到的拔山、挽澜，就是此流派。 人力钧力流，则是斤力蛊、十斤之力蛊、一钧之力蛊、十钧之力蛊、百钧之力蛊这些。 这个小流派，就是霸仙楚度一个人独自开创，引领潮流，令老朽迟暮的力道重新焕发青春的光辉。 现在，人力钧力流已经成为五域力道的主流，整个北原蛊师，大多数都有力道的底子，他们几乎都采用斤力蛊、十斤之力蛊、一钧之力蛊、十钧之力蛊等等。 可以说，霸仙楚度一人，改变了力道的现状，影响了天下蛊修流派的格局。 这样的人物，凤九歌当然要重视，而且是十分重视。 “北原战乱频繁，也是英雄辈出之地。 若是有机会，一定要好好见见这位霸仙。” 凤九歌的嘴角处，浮现出一抹兴奋的笑意。 这时，一个声音传出：“乐山乐水仙蛊一只，再添云泥万斤。” 噗。 凤九歌将口中的茶水噗出，双眼瞪圆，再无方才的淡定之色。 “乐山乐意仙蛊！” 他轻呼一声，“该死，担心的事情还是发生了。” 仙蛊可以用来拍卖，自然也可以当做筹码，交换其他仙蛊。 若非如此，记录在案的仙蛊被卡着，不能流通，将大大不利于拍卖的进行。 这个规矩，凤九歌当然了解，也最担心。 担心什么，就来什么。 形如巨柱，极高极长。 天柱风刮起来，从不移动，就在原地刮吹。 从外面看过去，就像是撑天巨柱一样。 一道天柱风，价值很高，绝不输给凤九歌之前报价的一百五十片雷音叶。 “霸仙楚度……”方源口中喃喃，有所觉悟，“看来你便是我此次最大的竞争对手了！”
The silence did not last for long, the auction hall exploded into a commotion soon afterwards. The Gu Immortals talked among themselves, as many of the Gu Immortals in the hall directed their gaze towards a single room. This single room was the place where ‘Fairy You Lan’ was inside. Everyone subconsciously wanted to see what expression ‘Swordmaster You Lan’ had when she made such a shocking decision. Even the organizer, Qin Bai Sheng, was a bit stunned, he asked: “Exchanging two for one, is that what you mean, Fairy You Lan?” “That is the case.” Feng Jiu Ge made the decision already, he had no more hesitations. Hearing Feng Jiu Ge’s confirmation, the discussions in the hall became softer. Feng Jiu Ge was a sound path Gu Immortal, why did he have two strength path Immortal Gu in his possession? In truth, he had many more Immortal Gu than just these two. Feng Jiu Ge led the ten Gu Immortals into Northern Plains secretly, he had important missions assigned to him. The first was to find the culprit behind the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the person who activated Central Continent’s arrangements in advance. The second one was to collect as many Immortal Gu as he could. To achieve this target, the Central Continent Gu Immortals prepared many methods. One of the ways was to exchange Gu, thus they brought along many Immortal Gu from their sects. After all, Gu worms were hard to snatch. A Gu Master can destroy their own Gu worms in an instant with just a thought. The same applied to Immortal Gu. It could be said that Feng Jiu Ge’s appearance in the auction was not a last minute decision, he had planned for it long ago. In the current world, strength path was not doing well, it had been weakening, those with enough wealth and ambition would certainly not choose to cultivate in strength path. Using these Gu worms to exchange for Gu worms of other paths, to the ten sects, this was a form of victory. Although the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal was a rank eight great expert, when they truly competed, he still lost to Feng Jiu Ge. After all, Feng Jiu Ge was backed by the ten great ancient sects. Meanwhile, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal entered Northern Plains secretly and attended this auction, it was his personal matter. Feng Jiu Ge had the resolution to do a two for one exchange, but he did not. But he was not resigned. He made a final effort, bidding: “I will add… a sandalwood sacred elephant egg!” A small commotion occurred in the hall again. “A sandalwood sacred elephant is an ancient desolate beast, after it grows to adulthood, it can rival rank seven Gu Immortals.” “The most important thing is to raise it from a young age, establishing a deep relationship, there would be a low chance of betrayal.” “A living ancient desolate beast’s value is very high. If managed well, it is like a treasure trove with endless value. The blood of the sacred elephant is a good immortal material, the tusks of the sacred elephant will grow back even if they are removed.” “The Gu Immortal in the first secret room is using another approach. This is quite impressive, an Immortal Gu versus an ancient desolate beast, comparing the two, they each have their advantages and disadvantages, it is hard to decide.” “Immortal Gu are indeed unique, but ancient desolate beasts are useful too. Especially when the seller seems to have interest in refinement path, he might be moved and choose the ancient desolate beast.” The people discussed. At this point, Feng Jiu Ge and the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal stopped bidding. The situation was uncertain now. Feng Jiu Ge was exchanging two for one, he had great resolution and had a better chance. But the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal’s offer was similarly enticing, he had a chance of victory too. As the auction hall turned silent, everyone was waiting for Fang Yuan’s decision. This was an unexpected climactic moment of the auction, how would it end, who would be the winner that obtains worldly wave trace Immortal Gu? Everyone was waiting in anticipation. Fang Yuan thought about it before making his decision, informing Qin Bai Sheng secretly. Qin Bai Sheng nodded, announcing publicly: “The seller has decided, they will sell worldly wave trace Immortal Gu to Fairy You Lan!” Once he said that, everyone breathed out in relief, starting their discussions. “It was logical that Fairy You Lan won.” “It was a two for one trade after all.” “If it was me, I would choose the ancient desolate beast. After all, the immortal essence expenditure of using two Immortal Gu is high.” “Which lucky person does this worldly wave trace Immortal Gu belong to? He actually sold it for such a good price, one Immortal Gu in exchange for two!” “Indeed, if I had not witnessed this personally, I would never believe it.” “Fairy You Lan, or rather, Prince Feng Xian definitely has other objectives. They are not fools, since they are offering such a high price, then the benefits they can gain must also be higher!” “As long as there is demand, there is a market, and profits can be gained. The greater the demand, the greater the profit.” Not just them, even Fang Yuan was trying to decipher the reason why ‘Swordmaster You Lan’ was buying worldly wave trace Immortal Gu at such a high price. “Prince Feng Xian…” The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal muttered this name as his expression turned slightly dark. As the auction continued, an earth path Immortal Gu appeared next. But the atmosphere was far beneath that of earlier, most of the Gu Immortals were still thinking about the earlier situation, they were still discussing it. What was the meaning of affluence and wealth, they had finally seen it clearly. Even though many people were suspicious, why would Prince Feng Xian, a fire path cultivator, be interested in a water path Immortal Gu? But the mind of a rank eight great expert was hard to decipher, it was not something an outsider could guess so easily. A mainstream path Immortal Gu was rapidly sold after several rounds of bidding, the quick deal gave people a relatively boring feeling. Towards this, Qin Bai Sheng was helpless, he could only smile bitterly. After the climax, it would be the downturn. After all, Feng Jiu Ge and the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal’s bids were too imposing, it weakened a lot of the Gu Immortals’ desires to bid. Fang Yuan sat in a secret room, playing with the two strength path Immortal Gu as he paid attention to the auction. Transactions involving Immortal Gu were done on the spot. Fang Yuan looked through those immortal materials, he checked that there was no issue with the quantity. Through Feng Jiu Ge’s cooperation, the two strength path Immortal Gu were completely refined by Fang Yuan, they were now his. At the same time, worldly wave trace Immortal Gu was in Feng Jiu Ge’s hands. “This is worldly wave trace Immortal Gu… after so many years, it is finally back in Spirit Affinity House’s hands.” Feng Jiu Ge sighed softly, he felt some emotions. As Immortal Gu were auctioned off one by one, as time passed, the atmosphere of the auction hall became heated once again. “Next is the thirty-fourth auction item, strength path Immortal Gu — Cauldron Strength, this is a rare strength path defensive Immortal Gu. Once activated, it can create a strength cauldron, protecting oneself. The seller wants a wisdom path Immortal Gu.” Qin Bai Sheng said. Most of the Gu Immortals in the hall had little interest. Strength path was declining, few people cultivated it, thus its demand in the market was small. Just as the owner of cauldron strength Immortal Gu was anxious, a hoarse and unique voice came from a single room: “Wisdom path Immortal Gu Loving Affection.” “This voice, it’s Domination Immortal Chu Du!” Immediately, someone in the hall shouted. “That’s right, it should be him, his voice is hoarse like this.” “To think that Domination Immortal came.” “What is so strange about it, Lord Chu Du is a famous strength path expert, why would Qin Bai Sheng not invite him?” “Domination Immortal Chu Du…” In a single room, Feng Jiu Ge drank his tea as his eyes shined. Before he came to Northern Plains, he had obtained some information. The information regarding Domination Immortal Chu Du was rich and had a lot of details, Feng Jiu Ge placed great emphasis on him. Chu Du was a rare strength path Gu Immortal, not only did he have great battle strength, he even had overflowing talent, creating a side branch of strength path personally. Strength path was a huge path, it had once flourished. Right now, strength path was split into beast strength phantom branch, atmospheric heaven and earth branch, as well as human strength jun strength branch. The beast strength phantom branch included bull strength, tiger strength and others, the strength path Immortal Gu, iron crown eagle strength Gu, that Fang Yuan had obtained some time ago was in this branch. Atmospheric heaven and earth branch was the strength of nature, like wind strength, water strength, fire strength and others. Or for example, Pulling Mountain and Pulling Water that Fang Yuan obtained from selling worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, both belonged to this branch. Human strength jun strength branch referred to the jin strength Gu, strength of ten jin Gu, jun strength Gu, strength of ten jun Gu, strength of hundred jun Gu and others. This small branch was created solely by Chu Du, he brought strength path onto another track and revitalized this dying path using his own methods. Right now, the human strength jun strength branch was already the mainstream strength path cultivation in Northern Plains. All the Gu Masters in Northern Plains had a strength path foundation, they had all used jin strength Gu, strength of ten jin Gu, jun strength Gu, strength of ten jun Gu and others. One could say that Domination Immortal Chu Du had singlehandedly turned around the situation of strength path, affecting all of the Gu cultivator paths in the world. Feng Jiu Ge naturally had to pay a lot of attention to such a person, in fact, it was particularly great emphasis. “Northern Plains is constantly engaged in battles, it is also a place where heroes emerge. If there is a chance, I have to meet this Domination Immortal.” Feng Jiu Ge’s mouth curled into an excited smile. Meeting all of the heroes in this world, that was the ambition of a true man! At this time, a voice echoed: ” Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, and five thousand kilograms of cloud soil.” Guh. Feng Jiu Ge spat out the tea in his mouth, his eyes stared widely as he lost his calm. “Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu!” He shouted: “Damn it, my worry came true.” Immortal Gu could be placed up for auction, they could naturally be used to trade for other Immortal Gu as well. If not for this, all of the registered Immortal Gu would be held up and not available for trade, this would greatly affect the auction’s success. Feng Jiu Ge understood this rule, and thus he was worried about it. Whatever you worried about was bound to happen. Heaven pillar wind was quite special, it originated from green heaven. It was like a tall pillar, extremely tall and long. When it blows, it will not cause movement, only blowing on the spot, from outside, it resembled a giant pillar that extended into the sky. One heaven pillar wind had high value, it did not lose to Feng Jiu Ge’s earlier bid of a hundred and fifty thunder sound leaves. “Domination Immortal Chu Du…” Fang Yuan muttered, immediately understanding: “It seems that you are my biggest competitor this time!”

However, world spirit techniques remain only world spirit techniques. Even if you are capable of creating even more rank one Martial Emperor-level ferocious beasts, it would still impossible for you to defeat the three of us, for we are true rank two Martial Emperors.”\nAfter Chu Feng retrieved his Secret Skills, the other Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor thought that Chu Feng was planning to fight against them with world spirit techniques.\n“World spirit techniques? There’s simply no need for that. Today, I shall use my own strength to take care of the three of you.”\nAfter Chu Feng said those words, he drew his Heavenly Immortal Sword. Once the Heavenly Immortal Sword was revealed, an overwhelming righteous aura surged forth and began to linger around Chu Feng, changing the airs that Chu Feng emitted. At this moment, Chu Feng looked like a Sword Immortal descending upon the world. Looking at him, one would feel deep veneration.\n“Chu Feng, I’ve heard that you possess a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting four levels of cultivation. While that might be to your advantage now, that advantage of yours will only work against Half Martial Emperors.”\n“At the level of Martial Emperors, you will no longer possess that advantage. Everyone knows that only those that possess heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting three levels of cultivation are capable of becoming Martial Emperors,” The last Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor said.\n“You’re telling me that my heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting four levels of cultivation is the same as your heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting three levels of cultivation. Thus, I do not have an advantage?” Chu Feng asked.\n“Naturally, you still possessed an advantage. Merely, when facing Martial Emperors, you would, at the very most, only possess a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting one level of cultivation. If the ones standing before you right now are three rank one Martial Emperors, you would naturally possess an advantage over them.”\n“However, the three of us are actually three rank two Martial Emperors. Did you think that you would possess an advantage over us?” That Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor said.\n“Wouldn’t you know whether or not I possessed an advantage by fighting against me?” Chu Feng smiled lightly. Immediately afterward, his smiling gazed shone with coldness. At the same time that happened, his Heavenly Immortal Sword turned into ten thousand sword rays that shot toward the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors.\n“Perfect timing,” The three Martial Emperors all snorted coldly as they released their majestic killing intent. They took the initiative and charged forward to face Chu Feng’s attacks.\nAt this moment, ear-piercing rumbles resonated nonstop. Blade rays and sword silhouettes were appearing all over the sky. Chu Feng and the three Martial Emperors fought in one location.\nHowever, right after the four of them started fighting, Chu Feng immediately obtained an absolute superiority over them. By relying on his sharp sword techniques, he forced the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors to retreat in defeat again and again. At this moment, the only thing they could do was defend.\n“Good! What a profound sword technique! I have never seen such a profound sword technique before. It would seem that Chu Feng has managed to completely comprehend the essence of the Heavenly Immortal Sword Technique.”\nSeeing Chu Feng suppressing the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors by himself, the people from the World Spiritist Alliance exclaimed in astonishment. Chu Feng’s sword techniques were truly too exquisite. They could simply be compared to Taboo Martial Skills. With merely that sword technique, Chu Feng was able to beat down on those three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors.\nTo be suppressed by Chu Feng right after they started battling caused the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors to feel extremely unreconciled. All of them shouted loudly, and then golden rays began to spread out from them. They turned into an enormous tornado that engulfed heaven and earth as it swept toward Chu Feng.\nIt was a martial skill, an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill. Being suppressed by Chu Feng, they could only start using martial skills to contend against Chu Feng.\nChu Feng’s Heavenly Immortal Sword was constantly changing as it revealed its ability. Relying on merely that Heavenly Immortal Sword, Chu Feng blocked the Earthen Taboo Martial Skill unleashed jointly by those three Martial Emperors.\n‘And here I thought the Dark Hall was extremely powerful. It turns out that you guys are inferior to even a rank two Martial Emperor from the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts,’ Chu Feng sneered in his heart.\nWhen Chu Feng had fought against that rank two Martial Emperor from the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts, he had felt some pressure. However, when facing these three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors, Chu Feng felt absolutely no pressure from them. He simply did not have to use his Taboo Martial Skills or Secret Techniques against them. He was able to completely suppress them using only his Heavenly Immortal Sword.\nOf course, although Chu Feng was still a rank one Marital Emperor, his strength today was not comparable to the strength he had possessed back then. At this moment, he had already gradually gotten used to the Martial Emperor’s power. Naturally, he was more powerful compared to back then.\nSuddenly, Chu Feng’s sword technique changed again, and then three rays of blood sprayed out from the bodies of the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors. A hole appeared in the dantians of those three Martial Emperors. They actually all had their cultivations crippled by Chu Feng.\n“Bastard! I’ll tear you apart alive!”\nSensing that their dantians had been damaged and their cultivations were rapidly flowing away, the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors all flew into a rage, and began to recklessly throw themselves at Chu Feng. They planned to engage in a final life and death struggle.\n“Humph,” Chu Feng snorted coldly. Then, the Heavenly Immortal Sword in his hand swept through the air. As a cold ray streaked across the horizon, and the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors were all sliced in half before falling to the ground. They had lost all ability to continue fighting against Chu Feng.\n“Speak! Exactly what is the Dark Hall? Who is it that created it? Why did you all insist on making me an enemy?” Chu Feng landed beside the three men and questioned them while pointing his sword at them.\n“Haha… hahahaha… wahahahahaha…” The three men burst into loud laughter. Their laughter was extremely strange.\n“You all had best tell me the truth. Else, I will make you all wish you were dead,” As Chu Feng spoke, he used world spirit techniques to bind the three men. Other than speaking, there was nothing else that the three of them could do.\n“Chu Feng, you’re actually using this sort of trick on us? You’re truly looking down on our Dark Hall.”\n“I’ll tell you this. The Dark Hall shall become your nightmare. Those that the Dark Hall want to kill, none of them will be able to survive. You are no exception,” The leader of the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors spoke coldly.\nChu Feng raised his hand and swept his sword across. He sliced apart the man’s mask. He was trying to see exactly who he was.\nHowever, when that man’s mask was sliced apart, what appeared before Chu Feng was a disfigured face beyond recognition.\nHis face could be said to be completely and utterly disfigured. Even when using his Heaven’s Eyes, Chu Feng was unable to make out his original facial features.\n“Chu Feng, I’ve already said it. Our Dark Hall shall become your nightmare. You should give up on cheap tricks like these,” The man sneered, and then a ‘bang’ was heard. His body exploded on the spot.\nImmediately after him, the other two Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors’ bodies also exploded. They were all dead.\n“Why would it be like this?” At this moment, the Left Reverend and Right Reverend, as well as the other experts of the World Spiritist Alliance, all rushed over. Astonishment filled their faces.\n“A certain kind of self destruction spirit formation was implanted into their bodies. As long as they wished to die, even I would not be able to stop them,” Chu Feng said.\n“Indeed, that is the case. It would seem that this Dark Hall is no small matter. After all, very few people in the Holy Land of Martialism are capable of setting up that sort of spirit formation,” The World Spiritist Immortal nodded.\n“Lord World Spiritist, do you know of the Dark Hall’s origins?” Chu Feng asked.\n“I do not. There are too many hidden experts in the Holy Land of Martialism. Even if you had me guess, I would not be able to guess who created it. All I know is that the Dark Hall is currently raising a large army. Furthermore, their appearance was absolutely not a coincidence. I have an ominous premonition,” The World Spiritist Immortal said.\nAfter hearing what the World Spiritist Immortal said, Chu Feng grew silent. Like the World Spiritist Immortal, he too felt an ominous premonition.\nWhile there were a lot of powers in the Holy Land of Martialism, the Three Palaces, the Four Clans, the Nine Powers, the Ancient Era’s Elves and several large monstrous beast races were publicly accepted to be the strongest powers.\nHowever, regardless of how those powers fought with one another, they would never try to extinguish the other powers. At the very least, they would only teach the other powers a lesson.\nHowever, this newly-appeared Dark Hall had planned to extinguish the entire World Spiritist Alliance merely because they had refused to join them. From this, it could be determined that the Dark Hall was a vicious and merciless power.\nFor such a power to appear in the Holy Land of Martialism, not to mention Chu Feng, it would likely not be something good for the entire Holy Land of Martialism." } ]
第一千八百五十章 “楚枫，你果然很自信，不过界灵之术毕竟是界灵之术，就算你召唤出再多一品武帝级的猛兽，也不可能是我们三人的对手，我们可是货真价实的二品武帝。” 见楚枫收回秘技，另外一位暗殿武帝，便以为楚枫是要用界灵之术来对付他们。 “界灵之术？ 根本不需要，今日我就用自身的武力，来收拾你们三个。” 楚枫话音落下，便将天仙剑抽了出来，天仙剑一出，一股浩然正气也是随之而现，萦绕在楚枫周围，整个人的气质都变了，就像是一代剑仙临世，令人心生敬畏之意。 “楚枫，听闻你有四品战力，这是你的优势，但你这个优势，只是在半帝境对战半帝的时候才存在。” “到了武帝境，你便没有了这个优势，人尽皆知，能为成为武帝者，都拥有逆战三品的战力。” 最后一位暗殿武帝说道。 “你的意思是，我逆战四品的战力与逆战三品战力一样，所以没有优势？” 楚枫问道。 “优势自然还是有，只是面对武帝，你最多只有逆战一品的优势，如果此刻站在你们面前的，是三个一品武帝，你自然有优势。” “可我们三个，可是三位货真价实的二品武帝，你觉得你有优势？” 暗殿武帝说道。 “有没有优势，试试不就知道了？” 楚枫微微一笑，而在下一刻，那满是笑意的眼中，忽然寒芒四射，与此同时，手中的天仙剑已是化作万道剑光，同时向那暗殿的三位武帝攻去。 “来的正好。” 三位暗殿武帝纷纷冷哼一声，释放出磅礴的杀意，便主动迎了过来。 一时之间，刺耳的轰鸣之音响彻不断，刀光剑影四下纷飞，楚枫已与那三位交战在了一处。 可是楚枫四人刚刚战成一团，楚枫便占据了绝对的优势，凭借一手凌厉的剑法，打的那三位暗殿武帝，节节败退，只能防守。 “好，好是玄妙的剑法，这等剑法简直从未见过，看来楚枫已经领悟了天仙剑法的精髓。” 眼见着楚枫以一己之力，便压制住了三位暗殿武帝，界灵仙人也是惊叹不已，楚枫的剑法是在太精妙了，简直堪比禁忌武技，只是这剑法，就足够那三位暗殿武帝受的了。 “可恶，我就不信这个邪。” 战斗刚刚开始，便被楚枫压制，那三位暗殿武帝也是很不甘心，大喝一声之后，道道金芒肆意而出，化作席卷天地的灰色飓风，向楚枫席卷而来。 是武技，并且还是地禁武技，面对楚枫的压制，他们只能施展出地禁武技，来与楚枫抗衡。 然而，楚枫的天仙剑，不仅千变万化，更是锋芒毕露，竟凭借一把天仙剑，就破开了那三位联手发动的地禁武技。 “暗殿，还以为多了不起，搞了半天，还不如妖蛟王族的二品武帝。” 楚枫心中冷笑一声。 当日对战妖蛟王族的那位二品武帝，楚枫多少还是有一点压力的，但是面对眼前的三位，楚枫却是毫无压力，根本不用施展禁忌武技，也不用施展秘技，只是一把天仙剑，就足以将对方压制的死死的。 当然了，虽在一品武帝的境界，可楚枫今日的实力，也非当日可比，他已经渐渐适应了武帝的力量，自然实力也就更强。 忽然之间，楚枫剑法又是一变，随后三道血光自那三位身体飞射开来，暗殿的那三位武帝，丹田处皆是出现了一个血窟窿，竟直接被楚枫废了修为。 “混账，我要生撕了你。” 感受到丹田被破，修为正在急速流逝，暗殿的三位武帝，皆是恼羞成怒，竟不要命的向楚枫扑了过来，想要最后一搏，来个鱼死网破。 “哼。” 然而，楚枫只是冷哼一声，随后手中的天仙剑横空扫过，只见一道寒光掠过天际，那三位暗殿武帝，纷纷被斩切成两段，摔落在了地上，彻底丧失了与楚枫抗衡的能力。 “说，暗殿究竟是什么来头，是何人所建，为何要与我为敌？” 楚枫落到了那三位的身旁，剑指三人问道。 “呵呵…哈哈哈…哇哈哈哈哈……”三人一同大笑，笑得很是诡异。 “你们最好如实招来，否则我让你们生不如死。” 楚枫说话间，已然用结界之术，束缚了三人，他们除了能说话之外，什么都做不了。 “楚枫，还跟我们玩这种手段，你也未免太小看我们暗殿了。” “告诉你吧，暗殿将是你的恶梦，暗殿想杀的人，没有能够活得下来的，你也不例外。” 为首的一位暗殿武帝，阴冷的说道。 楚枫抬手一剑，直接将那位的面具斩切开来，想要看看他的真面目。 然而，当那位的面具被斩开之后，浮现在楚枫面前的，竟是一张面目全非，被毁过的脸。 并且，这容毁的可谓彻彻底底，哪怕楚枫用天眼，也是无法看出他本来的面目。 “楚枫，我说过，我暗殿将是你的恶梦，你的这点小把戏，还是算了吧。” 那位冷笑一声，随后只听“嘭”的一声，他的肉身竟爆炸开来。 紧随其后，另外两位的身体，也是爆炸开来，死的不能再死。 “怎么会这样？” 此刻，左右天尊等界师联盟的高手，也是赶了过来，一脸的吃惊。 “体内被植入了某种自爆的结界，他们只要想死，连我也拦不住。” 楚枫说道。 “的确是这样，看来这个暗殿，还真是非同小可啊，毕竟武之圣土，能布置这种结界的人可不多。” 界灵仙人也是点了点头。 “界灵大人，您可知道这暗殿是何来头？” 楚枫问道。 “不清楚，武之圣土隐世的高人太多，让我去猜，也猜不出来，我只知道暗殿现在正在招兵买马，并且他们的出现，绝非偶然，我总有一种不祥的预感。” 界灵仙人说道。 听得界灵仙人的话，楚枫也是陷入了沉默，他又何尝不是与界灵仙人一样，因为他同样有着一种不祥的预感。 武之圣土的势力很多，但公认的最强势力，便是三府四族九势力以及远古精灵，还有几大妖兽族群。 但不管这些势力如何争斗，却都没有灭人势力的，顶多给予一些教训就足够了。 可这暗殿刚刚出现，只因界师联盟不肯投靠他们，便要灭掉界师联盟，便可以看出，暗殿是一个多么心狠手辣的势力。 这样的势力出现在武之圣土，莫说对楚枫，恐怕说对整个武之圣土来说，都不是一件好事。
Chapter 1850 - The Mysterious Dark Hall MGA: Chapter 1850 - The Mysterious Dark Hall “Chu Feng, you are truly confident in yourself. However, world spirit techniques remain only world spirit techniques. Even if you are capable of creating even more rank one Martial Emperor-level ferocious beasts, it would still impossible for you to defeat the three of us, for we are true rank two Martial Emperors.” After Chu Feng retrieved his Secret Skills, the other Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor thought that Chu Feng was planning to fight against them with world spirit techniques. “World spirit techniques? There’s simply no need for that. Today, I shall use my own strength to take care of the three of you.” After Chu Feng said those words, he drew his Heavenly Immortal Sword. Once the Heavenly Immortal Sword was revealed, an overwhelming righteous aura surged forth and began to linger around Chu Feng, changing the airs that Chu Feng emitted. At this moment, Chu Feng looked like a Sword Immortal descending upon the world. Looking at him, one would feel deep veneration. “Chu Feng, I’ve heard that you possess a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting four levels of cultivation. While that might be to your advantage now, that advantage of yours will only work against Half Martial Emperors.” “At the level of Martial Emperors, you will no longer possess that advantage. Everyone knows that only those that possess heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting three levels of cultivation are capable of becoming Martial Emperors,” The last Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor said. “You’re telling me that my heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting four levels of cultivation is the same as your heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting three levels of cultivation. Thus, I do not have an advantage?” Chu Feng asked. “Naturally, you still possessed an advantage. Merely, when facing Martial Emperors, you would, at the very most, only possess a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting one level of cultivation. If the ones standing before you right now are three rank one Martial Emperors, you would naturally possess an advantage over them.” “However, the three of us are actually three rank two Martial Emperors. Did you think that you would possess an advantage over us?” That Dark Hall’s Martial Emperor said. “Wouldn’t you know whether or not I possessed an advantage by fighting against me?” Chu Feng smiled lightly. Immediately afterward, his smiling gazed shone with coldness. At the same time that happened, his Heavenly Immortal Sword turned into ten thousand sword rays that shot toward the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors. “Perfect timing,” The three Martial Emperors all snorted coldly as they released their majestic killing intent. They took the initiative and charged forward to face Chu Feng’s attacks. At this moment, ear-piercing rumbles resonated nonstop. Blade rays and sword silhouettes were appearing all over the sky. Chu Feng and the three Martial Emperors fought in one location. However, right after the four of them started fighting, Chu Feng immediately obtained an absolute superiority over them. By relying on his sharp sword techniques, he forced the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors to retreat in defeat again and again. At this moment, the only thing they could do was defend. “Good! What a profound sword technique! I have never seen such a profound sword technique before. It would seem that Chu Feng has managed to completely comprehend the essence of the Heavenly Immortal Sword Technique.” Seeing Chu Feng suppressing the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors by himself, the people from the World Spiritist Alliance exclaimed in astonishment. Chu Feng’s sword techniques were truly too exquisite. They could simply be compared to Taboo Martial Skills. With merely that sword technique, Chu Feng was able to beat down on those three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors. To be suppressed by Chu Feng right after they started battling caused the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors to feel extremely unreconciled. All of them shouted loudly, and then golden rays began to spread out from them. They turned into an enormous tornado that engulfed heaven and earth as it swept toward Chu Feng. It was a martial skill, an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill. Being suppressed by Chu Feng, they could only start using martial skills to contend against Chu Feng. Chu Feng’s Heavenly Immortal Sword was constantly changing as it revealed its ability. Relying on merely that Heavenly Immortal Sword, Chu Feng blocked the Earthen Taboo Martial Skill unleashed jointly by those three Martial Emperors. ‘And here I thought the Dark Hall was extremely powerful. It turns out that you guys are inferior to even a rank two Martial Emperor from the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts,’ Chu Feng sneered in his heart. When Chu Feng had fought against that rank two Martial Emperor from the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts, he had felt some pressure. However, when facing these three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors, Chu Feng felt absolutely no pressure from them. He simply did not have to use his Taboo Martial Skills or Secret Techniques against them. He was able to completely suppress them using only his Heavenly Immortal Sword. Of course, although Chu Feng was still a rank one Marital Emperor, his strength today was not comparable to the strength he had possessed back then. At this moment, he had already gradually gotten used to the Martial Emperor’s power. Naturally, he was more powerful compared to back then. Suddenly, Chu Feng’s sword technique changed again, and then three rays of blood sprayed out from the bodies of the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors. A hole appeared in the dantians of those three Martial Emperors. They actually all had their cultivations crippled by Chu Feng. “Bastard! I’ll tear you apart alive!” Sensing that their dantians had been damaged and their cultivations were rapidly flowing away, the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors all flew into a rage, and began to recklessly throw themselves at Chu Feng. They planned to engage in a final life and death struggle. “Humph,” Chu Feng snorted coldly. Then, the Heavenly Immortal Sword in his hand swept through the air. As a cold ray streaked across the horizon, and the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors were all sliced in half before falling to the ground. They had lost all ability to continue fighting against Chu Feng. “Speak! Exactly what is the Dark Hall? Who is it that created it? Why did you all insist on making me an enemy?” Chu Feng landed beside the three men and questioned them while pointing his sword at them. “Haha… hahahaha… wahahahahaha…” The three men burst into loud laughter. Their laughter was extremely strange. “You all had best tell me the truth. Else, I will make you all wish you were dead,” As Chu Feng spoke, he used world spirit techniques to bind the three men. Other than speaking, there was nothing else that the three of them could do. “Chu Feng, you’re actually using this sort of trick on us? You’re truly looking down on our Dark Hall.” “I’ll tell you this. The Dark Hall shall become your nightmare. Those that the Dark Hall want to kill, none of them will be able to survive. You are no exception,” The leader of the three Dark Hall’s Martial Emperors spoke coldly. Chu Feng raised his hand and swept his sword across. He sliced apart the man’s mask. He was trying to see exactly who he was. However, when that man’s mask was sliced apart, what appeared before Chu Feng was a disfigured face beyond recognition. His face could be said to be completely and utterly disfigured. Even when using his Heaven’s Eyes, Chu Feng was unable to make out his original facial features. “Chu Feng, I’ve already said it. Our Dark Hall shall become your nightmare. You should give up on cheap tricks like these,” The man sneered, and then a ‘bang’ was heard. His body exploded on the spot.

However, regardless of how those powers fought with one another, they would never try to extinguish the other powers. At the very least, they would only teach the other powers a lesson. However, this newly-appeared Dark Hall had planned to extinguish the entire World Spiritist Alliance merely because they had refused to join them. From this, it could be determined that the Dark Hall was a vicious and merciless power. For such a power to appear in the Holy Land of Martialism, not to mention Chu Feng, it would likely not be something good for the entire Holy Land of Martialism.

The tactic of throwing excrement into the water that he put forward turned the worldview of many Junior Brothers and Sisters upside down, but the effect… was unquestionably good.\nAlmost at the first try, the plan was implemented, the water level of Blessed Fountain rose violently and dozens of dark figures emerged from the water… This time, the second level flood dragon went out in full force, vowing to completely finish off this group of shameless humans.\nThe last time he made his move, the flood dragon was already very clear of the strength of his opponent. Although the tortoiseshell array did have some uses, but not only human understood array method. He had been in Blessed Fountain for hundred years, so his dragon sons and grandsons could also use an array of similar uses.\nAlthough it was impossible to be more subtle than the arrays of human, under the absolute strength advantage, it was enough to tilt the balance of victory.\n\"Damn it, this again?\"\nOn the horizon, the rolling dark tide was surging again, and Wang Lu was standing straight at 'where the wind and the waves are the fiercest'.\nBetween the laughter, Wang Lu had been driven by the tide behind him and arrived in front of the flood dragon.\nUnder this distance, if the flood dragon launched a surprise attack, it could cause a fatal threat to Wang Lu—the strength of flood dragon and the monsters behind Wang Lu was completely not on the same level. Although the attack would not be a match to the beast tide, it could inflict a heavy damage to Wang Lu. However, after killing Wang Lu, he would have to face the beast tide...\nThis split second hesitation caused the flood dragon to lose the last chance to escape because Wang Lu had already led the beast tide to completely lock on the flood dragon and his base at the Blessed Fountain.\nThen, the second spirit sword heavenly talisman was launched, and Wang Lu's figure instantly disappeared.\nBut the beast tide that Wang Lu provoked into frenzy originally only had Wang Lu in their eyes. Once Wang Lu disappeared, they finally saw the light… What remained in place was the flood dragon of Blessed Fountain and his coiling dragon array.\nThis shift of hatred occurred in only a moment.\nThis time, the flood dragon didn't even have enough time to launch the thick mist and used the water element illusion to divert the opponent, because the beast tide was already too close.\nHe had just wanted to open his mouth when a strange winged beast with a horn on the head came roaring at him. The horn nearly pricked open his dragon scales.\n\"Very well, I'll let you animals understand who actually is the master of this great majestic mountain!\"\nThe angry dragon roar shook the earth. The second level flood dragon did not shrink back, but instead, he summoned his entire force of Blessed Fountain where he had run it for hundred years and faced the rolling beast tide in the front.\nIn a split second, the pitch black beast tide was dyed with red. The water level of Blessed Fountain soared, the thin stream turned into a lake, and the big waves on the lake was like the ocean, but the water was dark red in color.\n— \"Tsk-tsk, what a great battle.\"\nIn the distance, Spirit Sword Sect's people were watching the spectacle leisurely.\nTheir location was already covered by layer upon layer of arrays, which obscured them from the perception of all the monsters. This array arrangement was rushed, but its effect was not inferior to that of the second level flood dragon's mirage.\nAt this time, the battle between the flood dragon and beast tide had reached the climax. Both sides frenziedly tried to kill each other, and their tyrannical force raged unimpeded in the great majestic mountain. With each moment, there were bodies falling from the air. Some with weaker body turned into mincemeat while falling by the shockwave of the spells. But for those with strong physical body, after they fell into the sea of blood of Blessed Fountain, they eventually melted, and the resulting energy was then transformed into bloody energy that supported the flood dragon side in their fight with number disadvantage. The monsters didn't start the fight, but once it started, they would not stop until either they or the enemy died. If the loser died, it was quite likely that their kins would be eliminated completely… The fight between the two parties had reached such a state, but no one actually discovered that in the adjacent mountains, a group of human cultivators was critically watching.\nThere was no doubt about the gap between the magical ability of human cultivators and monsters here.\nHowever, even if they held an advantage point, seeing the blood and flesh fighting on the great majestic mountain, and smelling the stench brought by the strong wind that assaulted their face, it was difficult for them to relax their mental state into that of spectators. For these young people who had spent most of their life on the mountain, the scene before their eyes was really too exciting.\n\"Only in the Savage Land can such a vision be seen. It truly is an eye-opener.\"\nA tall burly young cultivator shook his head lightly as if he was deeply touched.\nHowever, on the other hand, he reached for a handful of dried fruit on the plate before him, peeled away the kernel from the shell, and put it into the mouth. With such a skillful movement, it was difficult to see whether his attention was on the distant battle or on the plate.\n\"Junior Brother Yang, if you're not interested in watching, you don't have to force yourself to pretend to be interested—no one is eating the dried fruits on the plate, they're all yours.\"\nUpon hearing this, Yang Fei let out a laugh. \"Then thank you so much for your generosity Senior Brother—I'm really not interested in seeing it. Isn't it just animals killing each other, dog eat dog? There's nothing good to see except flesh and blood.\"\nOuyang Shang sighed and decided to shield his hearing from this flirting couple.\nIn fact, at this time, most of the people were still seriously watching the battle on the great magnificent mountain. The rank of most of these monsters was not very high. Except for their natural magical ability, they didn't have any acquired method. There was nothing worth seeing except for their physical and magical skill in combat. However, hundreds and thousands of monsters were bravely fighting without regard for their own safety, using their own flesh to infer the cycle of birth and death… This was even an uncommon sight for the lead disciples of the five uniques. Careful observation could effectively temper the mental state of a cultivator.\nIn the previous operations, there was a big deviation from the previously specified battle plan, but Ouyang Shang as the Big Brother could timely adjust it to ensure that the team would not waste time. At present, the battle instigated by Wang Lu did play a role. In just a short moment, there were four or five Junior Brothers and Sisters who had a realization while watching the battle, thus, they began to close their eyes to meditate… Presumably, when they opened their eyes again, their mind would become more solid, clear, and nimble.\nOf course, there were also a few people who didn't follow this set of training. Yang Fei, this rough man, was one of them. There were also...\nTurning around, Ouyang Shang helplessly watched those who were equally not interested in watching the fight but just chatting.\nTo be precise, one person was chatting, another one was being chatted.\n\"Little Wu, the way you were training is not correct. Immortal cultivation is a comprehensive matter. In addition to deeply pondering magical power and quenching primordial spirit, there are also broadening the vision and strengthening the practice. This can make you grow comprehensively. You are so dead set in accumulating magical power, so at most, you can only fall into the position of a high-power-low-ability situation.\nWang Lu's voice seemed to be sincere, but Ouyang Shang felt that the flirting intent was a bit stronger.\nBut, hearing that the topic was about cultivation, Wang Wu was slightly serious. She opened her eyes and stopped her meditation. Turning her head, she expressed genuine curiosity with her clear eyes.\nWang Lu had tried to strike up a conversation with her for so long with a rare response, so he immediately explained cheerfully.\n\"For women, the key is not in cultivation stage, but in the face and the body. As a matter of fact, your talent is quite good, as long as you work hard and practice hard, you can become a beauty at the level that can damage a country and cause suffering of the people in a generation, ah wrong, it's femme fatale. Of course, the cultivation stage needed to practice the technique to improve your beauty is not simple. Based on your current situation, your cultivation foundation is not strong enough to be too distracted, so I have a set of quick means for your reference,\" Wang Lu said as he fished out a suspicious set of thin clothes.\n\"This magic outfit is called shaped underwear. If you wear it, you can gradually have a good figure without having to practice! Isn't this exciting, making you really want it right? No problem, we are all Spirit Sword Sect people, I don't need 998 1 spirit stones, this is a free gift from me!\" Wang Lu said and very fervently patted Wang Wu on the shoulder—he completely ignored that this affectionate behavior made the latter visibly uncomfortable.\n\"However, this shaped underwear is not permanent. The magical power contains within it is limited. After it is used up, it will have to be replaced. But don't worry, we're all people of the same sect, so I'll keep it free of charge for you! As long as you give me the old underwear that you have used, I'll trade it with the new one, isn't this very affordable!\"\nOuyang Shang sighed, feeling that the dialogue was too shameless.\nIt was not clear what the young man who claimed to be a time traveler from the future saw in Wang Wu. These days, as long as he had the time, the young man would immediately launch a frenzied flirting. He simply enjoyed it and never grew tired of it… To say that Wang Lu was falling in love would be wrong, because he merely tried to flirt shamelessly with her, without any intention to further develop the relationship. Moreover, Wang Lu's eyes were clear, without any lust—even while holding that strange underwear, it completely didn't seem that he harbored any evil thought. And frankly speaking, Junior Sister Wang Wu's pure conduct as a woman's charm… seemed very weak due to her excessive carelessness. At present, there were many women on the team who had a better figure than her, but Wang Lu basically turned a blind eye to them.\nBesides, what was the relationship between the two? In addition to having the same surname, there were no other similarities, and the two's facial features greatly differed. As for whether they had a master-disciple relationship… Wang Lu's cultivation method was unheard of. It was his defense system that seemed to have a vague connection to Spirit Sword Sect. Meanwhile, Wang Wu's talent was limited, and what she cultivated was a very popular low-end method in Spirit Sword Sect. Regardless of which aspect, it had nothing to do with Wang Lu's inheritance.\nHowever, according to Wang Lu's current behavior… in his historical line, among the few survivors of the golden generation, there should be a place for Wang Wu.\nSpeaking of which, it's really unbelievable. What exactly is the disaster that could make so many people killed, even including me, while Wang Wu... survived?\nBut, that's also fine.\nOuyang Shang looked up and cast his eyes on the distant sky.\nThat's also fine. If she's alive… then that's also fine either." } ]
第十二章 很多人都曾好奇，九州大陆上那么多智慧生物，其中不乏修行资质惊人的，更有天生就神通威能无限的仙兽之类……为何最终是人类统治了天下？ 而在王陆看来，可能实际上的理由非常简单——人类远比其他生灵要无耻的多，而这个世界，是人不要脸天下无敌的世界。 王陆作为人类修士的佼佼者，更是深谙此道神韵，他所提出的投屎战术刷新了许多师弟师妹们的三观，但是效果……却毋庸置疑的好。 几乎是计划执行的第一时间，福泉水位就猛烈上涨，数十条漆黑的身影自水中浮现……这一次，二转龙蛟是真的倾巢出动，誓要将这伙无耻的人类斩杀殆尽。 上一次交手，龙蛟已经很清楚对手的实力底限，那龟甲阵确有几分门道，但并不是只有人类懂得阵法，他在福泉经营百年，繁衍的龙子龙孙们同样可以用来布阵。 虽然不可能比人类修士的阵法更加精妙，但在绝对的实力优势下，却足以成为奠定胜局的砝码。 “妈的又来？” 地平线上，滚滚黑潮再次涌动，而王陆正立在风口浪尖，放声狂笑。 大笑间，王陆被身后大潮推动着已经到了龙蛟身前。 这个距离下，龙蛟只要一次突袭，就能对王陆造成致命威胁——龙蛟的实力和王陆身后那些精怪完全不在一个层面上，虽然无法力敌兽潮，但却能专突一点重创王陆。 电光火石间的犹豫，令龙蛟失去了最后的机会，王陆已经带领兽潮完全锁定了龙蛟和他的福泉老家。 然后，第二枚灵剑天符发动，王陆的身影瞬间消失。 而被王陆刺激的失去理智的兽群，原先眼中只有王陆一人，待王陆消失，眼前豁然开朗……只剩下福泉龙蛟和他的盘龙阵。 仇恨的转移只发生在瞬息之间。 这一次，龙蛟甚至来不及展开浓雾，用水相幻术来诱导对手，因为兽潮已经逼得太近了。 他刚想开口，一头背上双翼，头顶独角的异兽就咆哮着急冲过来，独角几乎挑翻了龙蛟的鳞片。 身躯上的痛楚也彻底激怒了这位福泉霸主。 愤怒的龙吼撼天动地，这头二转龙蛟再不退缩，而是调集起了他在福泉深水经营几百年的全部力量，与滚滚兽潮正面相扛。 漆黑的兽潮霎时间就被鲜血染红，福泉水位猛涨，细流化为湖泊，湖水涛涛又宛如海洋，只是那海水却是殷红色的。 “啧啧，真是一场惊天动地的大决战啊。” 远处山巅，灵剑派的一行人悠然围观。 他们所处的位置已经被布上了层层阵法，遮蔽了所有精怪的感知。 这个阵法布置仓促，但效果却不逊色与那二转龙蛟的海市蜃楼。 此时，兽潮与蛟龙的战斗已进入白热化的阶段，双方都杀红了眼，暴虐的力量在大嵩山地界内肆虐无阻，每时每刻都有尸体从空中落下，有的肉身脆弱些，坠落途中就被法术的余波震成肉末，而肉身强韧的，在落入福泉血海中后也终归会被消融瓦解，再化为血腥的能源支撑着蛟龙们以少敌多……精怪们的战争不发则已，一旦开战便是绝对的不死不休，失败者身死魂灭，更会被斩草除根……只是交战双方已经杀到如此境地，却谁也没有发现，就在相邻的山区上，一群人类修士正冷眼旁观。 人类修士与天生神通的精怪差距也在此尽显无疑。 然而即便是作为优势方，亲眼目睹着大嵩山上那血与肉搅成的战团，嗅到扑面而来的腥臭疾风，也很难真正放松心境去当一名看客，对于这些修仙生涯大部分时间用于在山中潜修的年轻人来说，眼前的场面实在太刺激了些。 “这等异象，也只有荒蛮之地才能领略得到，真是令人大开眼界，心生激荡之情不能自己。” 一位身材魁梧的年轻修士轻轻摇晃着脑袋，仿佛深受触动。 只是另一方面，他却伸手在身前餐盘中摸了几颗干果，利索地剥开外壳，将果仁送入口中，那娴熟的动作，很难看出他的注意力究竟是放在远处的大战上，还是眼前的餐盘上。 “我说杨师弟，你要是没兴趣的话可以不用勉强自己装出一副感兴趣的样子来看——桌上的干果没什么人吃，都是你的。” 杨飞闻言哈哈大笑：“那就多谢师兄慷慨——我还真没啥兴趣看，不就是牲畜互杀，狗咬狗么？ 除了血肉多点也没什么好看的。” 欧阳商叹了口气，决定从听觉中屏蔽这两个狗男女的打情骂俏。 事实上，此时大部分人都还在认真观看者大嵩山的恶战，这些精怪多数品级不高，除了天生神通外，并没有什么了不得的后天功法，作战时除了擅用肉身和神通外，也拿不出什么值得一看的技巧。 但是成百上千的精怪舍生忘死地奋战，以自身血肉演绎生与死的轮回……这却是纵使身为五绝弟子也不常见的景象。 细细观察，能够有效淬炼修士心境。 先前指定的作战计划，在前两次行动中都有不小的偏差，但欧阳商作为大师兄，却能及时进行调整，确保团队不会因此浪费时间。 而目前来看，这场由王陆挑起的战斗的确发挥了作用。 短短片刻间，就有四五名师弟师妹在观战中若有所悟，开始闭目冥思……想必再次睁开眼时，他们的道心都会变得更加凝实洗练。 转过头去，欧阳商无奈地看到两个同样无心观战的人正在聊天。 准确地说，是一个人在聊天，另一个人在被聊天。 “我说小舞啊，你这么修行可不对啊，修仙是件全方位的事，除了冥思法力，淬炼元神之外，更要广开眼界，增强实践，这才能全面成长。 你这么死命运功堆积法力，最多也只能落个高法低能的境地。” 王陆的声音显得语重心长，但欧阳商怎么听怎么觉得其中调戏的意味更浓一点。 但王舞听了修行的话题，却微微有些认真了，睁开眼停止了自己的冥想，转过头，以清澈的目光表达出了好奇的意味。 王陆搭讪这么久难得得到回应，立刻兴致勃勃地解释道。 其实你天赋资质不错，只要勤修苦练早晚能修成祸国殃民的一代嫩模，哦不红颜祸水。 当然，驻颜美容的术法要修出境界来可着实不简单，以你现在的情况修行基础还不牢固不宜分心过多，所以我这里还有一套速成的办法供你参考。” 王陆说着，从芥子袋中取出一套造型非常可疑的貌似服饰的布片。 “这套神奇的套装名为塑形内衣，只要穿上去，无需刻意修行就能渐渐拥有一副好身材是不是听了很心动，很想要？ 没关系，大家同为灵剑一脉，不要998我无偿赠送给你”王陆说着，还非常慷慨地拍了拍王舞的肩膀——完全不顾这种亲昵行为让后者有明显的不适应。 “不过呢，这塑形内衣并非永久使用，它的内含法力有其限量，用完后就要更新换代。 不过你不要担心，大家同门一场，我免费为你维护只要你把穿完的内衣交给我就行了，以旧换新，是不是很实惠？” 欧阳商叹了口气，觉得这对话实在太无耻了。 真是搞不清这位自称穿越者的年轻人到底是看上了王舞哪一点，这几日只要有时间就来展开疯狂的骚扰攻势，简直乐此不疲……要说是王陆春情荡漾，可看起来他就只是单纯的调戏骚扰，丝毫没有进一步发展关系的意图，而且王陆的眼神清澈无垢——哪怕是手持那种变态内衣时都是如此，完全不像心有邪念。 而且说句实在话，王舞师妹单纯作为女性的魅力……也因她的过分粗心而显得非常薄弱。 目前团队中身材相貌胜过她的师妹不在少数，可王陆根本对她们视而不见。 此外，要说两人有什么关系……除了姓氏相同，其实再没有别的相同点，两人五官相貌等都有很大差别，至于师承关系……王陆所修的功法闻所未闻，只是那套防御体系中隐约有一丝灵剑派的神韵。 不过，按照王陆现在这个表现来看……在他的历史线上，黄金一代寥寥无几的幸存者中，应该有王舞一席之地吧。 说来也真是不可思议，究竟是什么灾祸，能让那么多人一齐死掉，就连自己都不能幸免，偏偏王舞她……却活了下来？ 不过，这样也好。 欧阳商仰起头来，目光渐渐投向遥远的苍穹。 这样也好，如果是她活下来……也很好。
Chapter 490: Beautiful Girl Dream Factory Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy Many people had wondered, since there were so many intelligent creatures in Nine Regions, many of which had amazing qualification for cultivation, and there were also many immortal beasts who were born with almost unlimited magical ability and power and so on… Why was it that human beings eventually dominated the world? But in Wang Lu's view, the actual reason might be very simple—human beings were far more shameless than other creatures, and in this world, a shameless person was invincible. As an outstanding human cultivator, Wang Lu was well versed in this way. The tactic of throwing excrement into the water that he put forward turned the worldview of many Junior Brothers and Sisters upside down, but the effect… was unquestionably good. Almost at the first try, the plan was implemented, the water level of Blessed Fountain rose violently and dozens of dark figures emerged from the water… This time, the second level flood dragon went out in full force, vowing to completely finish off this group of shameless humans. The last time he made his move, the flood dragon was already very clear of the strength of his opponent. Although the tortoiseshell array did have some uses, but not only human understood array method. He had been in Blessed Fountain for hundred years, so his dragon sons and grandsons could also use an array of similar uses. Although it was impossible to be more subtle than the arrays of human, under the absolute strength advantage, it was enough to tilt the balance of victory. "Damn it, this again?" On the horizon, the rolling dark tide was surging again, and Wang Lu was standing straight at 'where the wind and the waves are the fiercest'. Between the laughter, Wang Lu had been driven by the tide behind him and arrived in front of the flood dragon. Under this distance, if the flood dragon launched a surprise attack, it could cause a fatal threat to Wang Lu—the strength of flood dragon and the monsters behind Wang Lu was completely not on the same level. Although the attack would not be a match to the beast tide, it could inflict a heavy damage to Wang Lu. However, after killing Wang Lu, he would have to face the beast tide... This split second hesitation caused the flood dragon to lose the last chance to escape because Wang Lu had already led the beast tide to completely lock on the flood dragon and his base at the Blessed Fountain. Then, the second spirit sword heavenly talisman was launched, and Wang Lu's figure instantly disappeared. But the beast tide that Wang Lu provoked into frenzy originally only had Wang Lu in their eyes. Once Wang Lu disappeared, they finally saw the light… What remained in place was the flood dragon of Blessed Fountain and his coiling dragon array. This shift of hatred occurred in only a moment. This time, the flood dragon didn't even have enough time to launch the thick mist and used the water element illusion to divert the opponent, because the beast tide was already too close. He had just wanted to open his mouth when a strange winged beast with a horn on the head came roaring at him. The horn nearly pricked open his dragon scales. "Very well, I'll let you animals understand who actually is the master of this great majestic mountain!" The angry dragon roar shook the earth. The second level flood dragon did not shrink back, but instead, he summoned his entire force of Blessed Fountain where he had run it for hundred years and faced the rolling beast tide in the front. In a split second, the pitch black beast tide was dyed with red. The water level of Blessed Fountain soared, the thin stream turned into a lake, and the big waves on the lake was like the ocean, but the water was dark red in color. — "Tsk-tsk, what a great battle." In the distance, Spirit Sword Sect's people were watching the spectacle leisurely. Their location was already covered by layer upon layer of arrays, which obscured them from the perception of all the monsters. This array arrangement was rushed, but its effect was not inferior to that of the second level flood dragon's mirage. At this time, the battle between the flood dragon and beast tide had reached the climax. Both sides frenziedly tried to kill each other, and their tyrannical force raged unimpeded in the great majestic mountain. With each moment, there were bodies falling from the air. Some with weaker body turned into mincemeat while falling by the shockwave of the spells. But for those with strong physical body, after they fell into the sea of blood of Blessed Fountain, they eventually melted, and the resulting energy was then transformed into bloody energy that supported the flood dragon side in their fight with number disadvantage. The monsters didn't start the fight, but once it started, they would not stop until either they or the enemy died. If the loser died, it was quite likely that their kins would be eliminated completely… The fight between the two parties had reached such a state, but no one actually discovered that in the adjacent mountains, a group of human cultivators was critically watching. There was no doubt about the gap between the magical ability of human cultivators and monsters here. However, even if they held an advantage point, seeing the blood and flesh fighting on the great majestic mountain, and smelling the stench brought by the strong wind that assaulted their face, it was difficult for them to relax their mental state into that of spectators. For these young people who had spent most of their life on the mountain, the scene before their eyes was really too exciting. "Only in the Savage Land can such a vision be seen. It truly is an eye-opener." A tall burly young cultivator shook his head lightly as if he was deeply touched. However, on the other hand, he reached for a handful of dried fruit on the plate before him, peeled away the kernel from the shell, and put it into the mouth. With such a skillful movement, it was difficult to see whether his attention was on the distant battle or on the plate. "Junior Brother Yang, if you're not interested in watching, you don't have to force yourself to pretend to be interested—no one is eating the dried fruits on the plate, they're all yours."

Currently, there were two wands in his possession: The New Moon wand and the Fire Crystal staff. The former was a recognizable work of a Master Magician, while the latter was a bulky thing with obvious Dark Elf features. None of them were suitable to be exposed publicly.\nAfter careful consideration, Link made up his mind to use the New Moon wand. But of course, he would first conceal the wand under the cover of camouflage.\nHe then decided to spend one Omni Point to purchase a new spell. Transmutation\nEffects: A low-level enchantment spell. Transforms the appearance of one object into another without altering the innate nature and shape of the original object.\nOnce he received the spell, Link swathed the New Moon wand under layers of linen rags, completely covering the original appearance. He then foraged some rubber tree twigs and put the thickly covered wand on the twigs. He picked up the Fire Crystal staff and cast the Transmutation spell.\nA rippling, translucent ball of light appeared at the tip of the staff; Link pointed it towards the New Moon wand. \"Transmutation!\"\nThe ball of light hit the wand. The brownish surface of the rags began to show minute changes as faint lines of woodgrain began to appear. But this wasn't enough. Casting the Transmutation spell once was not going to completely change the rags into a wooden stick.\n\"Transmutation! Transmutation! Transmutation! Transmutation!\"\nHe rapidly cast the spell five times successively. Now the rags that covered the wand were completely transformed into a plain wooden stick. The stick had many pores, though, so it wouldn't affect spellcasting in any way.\nStill, the surface was a bit too rough, so he smoothed it out with some grains of sand. Now, the once magnificent looking New Moon wand had completely transformed into an ordinary looking wooden stick.\nThere. Now I can use it.\nAs the wand camouflaging business was done, Link suddenly felt peckish, so he went to the inn hall and got himself, as usual, a long loaf of coarse wheat bread for five coppers. But he thought the occasion called for a drink, so he spent another ten coppers on a mug of ale.\nHe had been eating the same thing for half a month so his tongue might've forgotten how to taste. A mug of ale would certainly be a nice change.\n\"Hey, Link! What's the matter with you today?\" the inn servant teased as he handed the young man a mug of ale filled to the brim.\nAnother voice called out from the other side of the room, \"Link, you'll soon become as thin as a bamboo rod! You can't go on like that, you know?\"\nIt was the drunkard Tormun. He was a regular of the inn who would spend the first coin he earned on drinks. Once drunk he'd go home and beat his wife. The two had been fighting over this habit of his for many years until his wife couldn't take it anymore and ran off with another man. This didn't stop Tormun from going back to his old habit, though. Alcohol was his true love, after all.\n\"Say, Link! You're cooped up the whole damn day in that little attic! What could you be doing in there? Come on, share it with us!\" another regular chuckled.\nHe had spent half a month there, so everyone in the inn knew him. In fact, by now the whole town had heard rumors about the oddball at the inn.\nLink's only response to these jeering questions was to tell the truth. \"I'm a Magician, and I'm working on my magic skills.\"\nTo his surprise, laughter rang out through the entire hall in response.\n\"Ha! If you're a Magician, then I'm a wise Sage!\" slurred Tormun the drunkard.\nThe rest of the hall joined in on the laughter. Link had been telling them the truth many times before, but no one ever took him seriously.\nBecause of River Cove's proximity to the East Cove Higher Magic Academy, its inhabitants were accustomed to the sights of Magicians from the school. In their eyes, Magicians wore magnificent robes, spent their money liberally, always carried sticks with them they called wands; there was a certain mysterious air about them too, as if they were fully shrouded in an enigmatic aura.\nThis Link, on the other hand, wore tattered rags for a robe (he had sold the grey robe for money), had a body as thin and frail as twigs, he had the pallor of boiled cabbage. In addition, no one had ever seen him do any kind of magic before. Only fools would take his claim of being a Magician seriously.\nLink understood all that, and so he never argued. To him, what the townspeople thought of him was completely irrelevant. So long as they did not hinder him in his quests, the whole town could take him for a beggar and he wouldn't lose sleep over it.\nAnd so, all Link did was laugh, then he carried his food to a seat in the corner and sat down and ate. He took a bite out of the loaf, then washed it down with a swig of ale. All throughout this scene, his spirits were calm and utterly undisturbed.\nThe inn hall's crowd occasionally threw some remarks on Link from time to time, but seeing as they got no reaction or response from him, they just mumbled something to themselves and moved on to town gossip.\nSuddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps from outside the door, as the light flowing into the inn was blocked. Darkness momentarily swept over the room, the change causing everyone inside to be silent. Every head turned towards the door.\nThere at the entrance stood an enormous brute striding into the hall—he was almost seven-feet tall. His arms were bigger than Link's thighs, his hair was a netted mess, his face coarse and rugged, and his beard bushy and long. He was wearing grey leather armor with metal plates sewn over his heart and ribs. He was also carrying a war hammer on his shoulder made of pure iron. The handle and its head were eight inches long—it couldn't have weighed less than 150 pounds. But that wasn't the only thing the brute was carrying. On his back was a thick metal shield—it was at least two inches thick, also made of pure iron, and it couldn't have been easy to carry around either.\nLink could guarantee that if he was ever hit by a gentle swing of that hammer, he'd be as dead as a doornail.\nThe brute walked into the hall as if he were a war tank invading enemy territory, each heavy step stomping loudly onto the floor's wooden planks. It was only when the brute was well inside the hall that everyone noticed the two people behind him.\nOne of them was an Archer, about 30 years of age. His robust physique was also completely covered in leather armor. The other was a woman, around 27 or 28 years old. Crowning her face was a full head of fiery, red hair. She wore a full-body leather armor suit that hugged her figure, revealing enticing curves on a body so stunning she could easily spike any man's hormones.\nEvery pair of eyes in the hall were latched onto them.\nThe wretched drunkard Tormun couldn't peel his eyes off of the woman from the moment she appeared. He didn't even notice the drool spilling out of his mouth.\nThis drunkard hadn't touched a woman for years, his eyes would've bulged out even if he'd seen a sow (female pig), let alone a beautiful woman like this.\nThe woman appeared to be a swordswoman, seeing that she had a one-handed sword on her back. She was extremely perceptive of her surroundings, easily sensing the drooling Tormun's gaping stare. Immediately she glared at him with her cold deep-blue eyes.\nThe rest of the crowd in the inn was spooked as well, and none of them dared to stare anymore.\nThese three are definitely professionals, Link thought, There's a strong murderous aura emanating from that woman. She must've killed many people before. But I sense no darkness or evil coming from them, so I guess they must be roaming mercenaries undertaking missions in exchange for money.\nSeeing that the inn crowd was completely intimidated by them, they ordered their food and began a discussion as if no one else was around.\nThey were boisterous and completely indiscreet, so Link could clearly hear every word they were saying.\n\"There's just no way, no way in hell we could ever fight him. This Viktor scum is a wimpy little wuss! He'd just hide in his little cave and never come out. It's too dangerous if we go in there, it's too small to fit my bow, so I can't aim right. It's just impossible,\" the Archer said in a tone of exasperation as he took a big bite of smoked beef.\n\"Hey, stop being so gloomy. Of course, it's a little bit more dangerous than usual, but don't forget how sweet the reward is going to be! And we've come a hundred miles! Are we really going to just give up now?\" the woman responded. She then turned to the giant brute, \"What do you say, Jacker?\"\nThe brute had a craggy face, but his demeanor was surprisingly gentle. He carefully cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, then slowly chewed the food. Hearing the woman's question, he considered it for a while, then said, \"We need a helper. Viktor is a Level-3 Assassin; he's also developed Combat Aura. Now that he's on his toes, he'll make a terrible opponent.\"\n\"Helper?\" the Archer spat out with a laugh, \"What kind of help can we get in River Cove? Unless...if we could get one of those Magicians in the East Cove Academy?\"\n\"Gildern, are you out of your mind?\" the red-haired woman immediately countered, \"What kind of Magician can we afford? Even if we give up all the reward we get they might still not pay us any attention, and don't even think about them risking the danger with us!\"\n\"I was only joking.\" The Archer pursed his lips, then lowered his head and concentrated on eating.\nAfterwards, the three mercenaries continued talking. Most of what they said was about their mission and the mission's goal. The name Viktor was mentioned a lot. But even after half a day of discussion, they didn't seem to come to any solution.\nBut instead, the one who did come up with an idea was Link, who was listening intently their issue. He remembered exactly where he had heard the name Viktor before.\nViktor, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, a band of rogues, robbers, and ruffians. The Brotherhood's most recognizable feature was their blood-red masks.\nIn fact, the bandits that attacked Eliard in the forest had belonged to this Brotherhood.\nAt that point in time, the Dark Brotherhood wreaked havoc in the western part of the Girventh Forest. It was the most powerful band of the underworld west of Girventh Forest, and Viktor was at its helm. His words held more power than the mayor of River Cove. If he wanted someone dead, one word and that person would not live to see the next sunrise.\nBut of course, like any underworld organization, the reason Viktor could get so powerful in a town so near to Springs City was that he had powerful political connections in the capital.\nLink remembered exactly how far up the power ladder this connection was—the Iron Duke. It wasn't that the Iron Duke directly supported the Dark Brotherhood, but even so, he did receive part of the loot and treasure from Viktor, so he turned a blind eye to the Brotherhood's criminal activities.\nNaturally, this made Viktor even bolder and more unscrupulous.\nWhile thinking about all this information, he suddenly remembered a thing called Viktor's treasure trove.\nAs an underworld leader, Viktor naturally was paranoid about his own safety. He never kept his treasures in the banks of Norton Kingdom. He would instead hide them in a secret location, but he didn't hide all of his treasures in one place, though. Instead, like a squirrel, he would hide portions of his treasures in numerous different locations all over the Girventh forest.\nIn the game, if a player was lucky, he could have a chance of picking up a map to the location of Viktor's treasure trove. In fact, Link had picked one up once, and as he followed the path on the map, he eventually found 100 gold coins, which was equivalent to about 1500 dollars—indeed a substantial amount of money.\nThe locations of the treasures shown on the map were random, but according to the statistics in the game forum, there should at least be 20 or more locations where Viktor buried his gold coins.\nIf there were 100 gold coins in one location, then in 20 or more sites he would've collected enough money to pay the fees for the Academy!\nFor this reason, Link's interest was piqued the moment he heard the name Viktor.\nHis financial situation had become truly dire, so he had been listening intently and paying close attention the three mercenaries. Just then, he received a notification in the interface. Mission Activated: Assassination\nMission Details: Kill the leader of the Dark Brotherhood Viktor!\nMission Rewards: 10 Omni Points\nAh, this is one mission I can't refuse!\nHe waited patiently for the three mercenaries to finish their meal. Once they got up to leave the inn, he swiftly stood up and followed them.\nOnce they were outside the inn Link hastened his footsteps and caught up with them. \"Hey, wait up!\" he shouted, \"Is it true that you people are in need of a helper?\"" } ]
第三十六章 该怎么赚钱，当然是依仗自己的魔法。 魔法需要魔杖，林克目前有新月魔杖和火晶石法杖，前者是大师作品，后者有些笨重，而且是明显的暗精灵风格，两者都不太好曝光。 林克想来想去，决定使用新月魔杖。 当然，在使用之前，他得在这根魔杖外面加上一层伪装。 。 想了想，林克花费1点自由点数，兑换了一个新魔法。 作用：低级附魔术，在不改变物理形状的前提下，用一种物质置换另一种物质。 得到魔法之后，林克先在新月魔杖包上层层叠叠的一层亚麻布，掩盖了魔杖的原本模样，然后又找来了一些橡木碎屑，将裹着厚厚亚麻布的新月魔杖放在橡木上，然后拿出火晶石法杖，开始释放置换术。 一个泛着层层涟漪的半透明光球出现在火晶石法杖上，林克一指新月魔杖：“置换术！” 光球落在魔杖上，魔杖表面的褐色亚麻布颜色就出现微微的变化，显出一些木质的纹理，但这还不够，一个置换术并不能将亚麻布完全换成橡木。 “置换术！” “置换术！” 一连释放了五个置换术，新月魔杖外的亚麻布就成了橡木，这橡木还是多孔透气的，完全不会影响施法。 表面有些粗糙，林克用细沙仔细研磨了一遍，顿时，华丽的新月魔杖就成了一根模样普通的‘木棍’。 好了，这个样子，就可以拿出去用了。 改装完魔杖后，林克感到肚子又些饿，便到了旅店大厅，如往常一般，花了五个铜子买了一个长条粗麦面包，想了想，又花了十个铜子买了一杯麦酒。 大半个月没换口味了，嘴巴几乎淡出鸟来了，喝杯酒调调味道。 “嗨，林克，你今天怎么阔起来了？” 旅店的伙计打趣道，一边接了满满一杯麦酒递给林克。 另一边也传来声音：“林克，你这是要瘦成竹竿了啊，这么下去可不行啊。” 是酒鬼汤姆，这家伙但凡口袋里有点钱，第一时间就会过来喝酒，喝醉了就回家打老婆，为这事，他婆娘跟他吵了好几年，最后干脆跟人跑了，但这家伙仍旧死性不改，酒实在是他的真爱！ “哈哈，我说林克，你一整天都缩在阁楼里，到底干的是啥事啊？ 跟我们大家说说呗？” 又一个常客笑道。 在这呆了大半个月，旅店里的人大部分都认识林克，事实上，整个河谷镇都听说镇上的旅店中来了一个怪人。 对这些调侃，林克笑了笑，实话实说：“我是个魔法师，这段时间在学习魔法。” 没想到这话一出，大厅里顿时传出一阵大笑声。 酒鬼汤姆醉醺醺地道：“哈哈，你要是魔法师，我就是大贤者了。” 其他人也都笑起来，虽然林克已经重复了好几遍这话，但没人相信他的话。 河谷镇靠近东谷高等魔法学院，时不时能看到学院的魔法师，在镇民眼里，魔法师都是衣着光鲜，出手阔绰的一群人，他们手里还会拿上一根叫做魔杖的东西，他们也显得非常精神，整个人似乎笼罩着神秘的光辉。 而林克，身上一身粗劣的亚麻袍子（他那件灰袍被他卖掉换钱了），身体瘦弱，脸有菜色，也没见过他用过什么魔法，所以没人信他的话。 林克也不辩解，对他来说，这些镇民对他看法无关紧要，只要不妨碍他的生活，就算这些镇民把他当作乞丐他也毫不在意。 他已经站在了更高的层次上，雄鹰是不会注意鸡的看法的，所以，林克连解释的功夫都欠奉。 笑了笑，拿着自己的食物到角落的位置，林克咬一口粗麦面包，喝一口麦酒润喉，至始至终，他的神情都非常平静。 大厅里的人在他身上扯了几句，见他没有反应，也都感到无趣，便嘟囔几声，开始聊起了镇上的家长里短。 这时候，忽然门口传来沉重有节奏的脚步声，然后大厅光线微微暗了下来，这变故让大厅中的客人都安静下来，齐齐转头朝门口看去。 林克也看过去。 大厅门口，一个身高近两米，胳膊比林克大腿还粗的壮汉走了进来，这壮汉头发散乱，脸容粗犷，一脸长长的络腮胡，身上穿着灰扑扑的皮甲，心口、肋下的位置缝了一些铁甲片，在肩膀上还扛了一柄战锤，这战锤是纯铁的，连柄都是，加上锤子后面那个近二十厘米长的厚实锤头，这玩意估计得有七八十公斤重，这还不止，他背上还有一面厚厚的盾牌，盾面至少五厘米厚，也是纯铁的，这东西份量也不轻。 林克敢肯定，他要是被这东西轻轻砸上那么一下，绝对当场完蛋。 这个壮汉就像坦克战车一样走进来，每一脚都踩的旅店的木质地板咯吱咯吱地响，等他进来之后，众人才看到他身后还跟着两个人。 一个弓箭手，大概30来岁，身姿矫健，也是一身皮甲。 最后是一个女人，大概二十七八岁的样子，容貌中上，有一头火红头发，穿一身紧身皮甲，身材火爆至极，该凸凸，该凹凹，一点都不含糊，轻易能引爆男人的荷尔蒙！ 大厅里的人都看呆了。 酒鬼汤姆最是猥琐，自从这女人出现之后，他的目光一直就没有离开对方的下三路，嘴角流出口水都不自知。 这酒鬼有好几年没碰过女人了，就是见到母猪都能看出双眼皮来，更不用说这么一个火爆女郎了。 这女人背上系着一把单手剑，应该是一个剑手，她很敏锐，轻易感觉到了汤姆的下流目光，深蓝色的眼眸狠狠地瞪了过去。 酒鬼汤姆吓地‘呀’地叫了一身，手中的酒杯都掉在了地上，他不敢看了。 旅店里的人也都被吓了一跳，不敢再多看。 这场景让林克心中一动：“这三个人都是高手，这个女人身上还有浓厚的杀气，显然杀过不少人。 见旅店大厅里的人都被震住了，这三人要了一些食物，然后就开始旁若无人的讨论起来。 他们声音很大，完全不怕被人听去，所以林克也听到了他们说话的内容。 “这没法打，根本没法打，维特那家伙就是个胆小鬼，整天躲在山洞里，我们三个人进去，太危险了，洞穴里地形狭窄，我的弓也不太好使。” 那弓箭手使劲咬了一口香喷喷的熏牛肉，摇了摇头，有些丧气。 是危险了点，但赏金也高，我们跑了上百里路，难道看一眼就要放弃？” 那女人开口了，她数落了弓箭手一句，然后看向壮汉：“亚克，你怎么说？” 壮汉面容粗犷，但他性格看起来很温和，轻轻切下一口肉送进嘴巴，细嚼慢咽，听到女人的话，他想了想：“我们得找帮手。 维特是个三级刺客，掌握了战气，现在他这么谨慎，实在不好对付。” “帮手？” 弓箭手嗤笑一声：“河谷镇有什么高手？ 魔法师是我们能请得起的？ 就算我们把佣金全给他，人家也不一定能看上眼，更不用说跟我们去冒险了，他们金贵的很。” “我就开个玩笑。” 弓箭手格里丹撇了撇嘴，闷头吃东西。 之后三人又都说了几句，都是关于任务的，任务目标的名字就叫维特，不过讨论了半天，他们都没想出什么好的解决办法。 林克在一旁却听的出了神，原因无他，因为他记得维特这个名字。 维特，黑暗兄弟会的首领，他的手下全是流氓、强盗、混混之流，这些人有个特征，就是喜欢用血红色的布巾蒙面。 当初在森林里围攻艾莱特的就是这些人。 在这个时间点，黑暗兄弟会在格温特森林西部肆虐成灾，是森林西部地区的最大地下势力，而维特就是隐藏在黑暗中的王者。 在格温特森林西部地区，维特的话比河谷镇的镇长好使多了，他要谁的命，谁就活不过第二天早上。 当然，和所有黑社会一样，维特能在王都温泉城附近区域撑起这么大的场面，在王都中，肯定有其保护伞。 。 不是说铁公爵纵容维特干坏事，而是说，他也享受了维特缴纳的一部分钱财，有意无意地，他就睁一只眼闭一只眼了。 自然，维特就更加肆无忌惮了。 回想起这些资料，林克忽然想起了一个词，叫‘维特的宝藏’。 维特作为一个非法地下组织的头领，他天生有不安全感，他的钱财绝不会存在诺顿王国的钱庄之类的地方，而是小心翼翼地藏起来，这家伙还不藏在一处，而是和松鼠一样，东一堆，西一堆，在森林里埋的到处都是。 前世游戏中，如果玩家足够好运，就有可能在干掉维特的时候，就有一定几率捡到‘维特的宝藏’的藏宝图，林克就捡到过一张，他一路找过去，最后找到了足足100多金币，当时游戏中一金币和100元等值，实在是大赚一笔。 前世游戏中，这些藏宝图指示的宝藏位置是随机的，论坛上有过统计，维特这家伙至少将自己的钱买过二十多个地方。 如果一处地点能找到100多金币，那二十多处地方的钱加起来，说不定能一举将魔法学院的学费给凑出来！ 所以，一听到维特这个名字，林克就心动了。 他现在缺钱已经到了一定境界了，听着三个佣兵聊了半天，心里早就动了心思，几乎在同时，林克视界里出现了消息。 任务内容：击杀黑暗兄弟会首领维特！ 任务奖励：10自由点。 好嘛，这么一来，这任务他必接不可了。 耐心等三个佣兵吃饱喝足，离开旅店的时候，林克立即起身追了出去。 到了旅店外，林克就加快脚步跟了上去，口中喊道：“嗨，等等，你们是不是需要帮手？”
Chapter 36: The Forest Bandits Ordeal The only way he knew to earn money was by utilizing his magic. To use magic, Link would need a wand. Currently, there were two wands in his possession: The New Moon wand and the Fire Crystal staff. The former was a recognizable work of a Master Magician, while the latter was a bulky thing with obvious Dark Elf features. None of them were suitable to be exposed publicly. After careful consideration, Link made up his mind to use the New Moon wand. But of course, he would first conceal the wand under the cover of camouflage. He then decided to spend one Omni Point to purchase a new spell. Transmutation Effects: A low-level enchantment spell. Transforms the appearance of one object into another without altering the innate nature and shape of the original object. Once he received the spell, Link swathed the New Moon wand under layers of linen rags, completely covering the original appearance. He then foraged some rubber tree twigs and put the thickly covered wand on the twigs. He picked up the Fire Crystal staff and cast the Transmutation spell. A rippling, translucent ball of light appeared at the tip of the staff; Link pointed it towards the New Moon wand. "Transmutation!" The ball of light hit the wand. The brownish surface of the rags began to show minute changes as faint lines of woodgrain began to appear. But this wasn't enough. Casting the Transmutation spell once was not going to completely change the rags into a wooden stick. "Transmutation! Transmutation! Transmutation! Transmutation!" He rapidly cast the spell five times successively. Now the rags that covered the wand were completely transformed into a plain wooden stick. The stick had many pores, though, so it wouldn't affect spellcasting in any way. Still, the surface was a bit too rough, so he smoothed it out with some grains of sand. Now, the once magnificent looking New Moon wand had completely transformed into an ordinary looking wooden stick. There. Now I can use it. As the wand camouflaging business was done, Link suddenly felt peckish, so he went to the inn hall and got himself, as usual, a long loaf of coarse wheat bread for five coppers. But he thought the occasion called for a drink, so he spent another ten coppers on a mug of ale. He had been eating the same thing for half a month so his tongue might've forgotten how to taste. A mug of ale would certainly be a nice change. "Hey, Link! What's the matter with you today?" the inn servant teased as he handed the young man a mug of ale filled to the brim. Another voice called out from the other side of the room, "Link, you'll soon become as thin as a bamboo rod! You can't go on like that, you know?" It was the drunkard Tormun. He was a regular of the inn who would spend the first coin he earned on drinks. Once drunk he'd go home and beat his wife. The two had been fighting over this habit of his for many years until his wife couldn't take it anymore and ran off with another man. This didn't stop Tormun from going back to his old habit, though. Alcohol was his true love, after all. "Say, Link! You're cooped up the whole damn day in that little attic! What could you be doing in there? Come on, share it with us!" another regular chuckled. He had spent half a month there, so everyone in the inn knew him. In fact, by now the whole town had heard rumors about the oddball at the inn. Link's only response to these jeering questions was to tell the truth. "I'm a Magician, and I'm working on my magic skills." To his surprise, laughter rang out through the entire hall in response. "Ha! If you're a Magician, then I'm a wise Sage!" slurred Tormun the drunkard. The rest of the hall joined in on the laughter. Link had been telling them the truth many times before, but no one ever took him seriously. Because of River Cove's proximity to the East Cove Higher Magic Academy, its inhabitants were accustomed to the sights of Magicians from the school. In their eyes, Magicians wore magnificent robes, spent their money liberally, always carried sticks with them they called wands; there was a certain mysterious air about them too, as if they were fully shrouded in an enigmatic aura. This Link, on the other hand, wore tattered rags for a robe (he had sold the grey robe for money), had a body as thin and frail as twigs, he had the pallor of boiled cabbage. In addition, no one had ever seen him do any kind of magic before. Only fools would take his claim of being a Magician seriously. Link understood all that, and so he never argued. To him, what the townspeople thought of him was completely irrelevant. So long as they did not hinder him in his quests, the whole town could take him for a beggar and he wouldn't lose sleep over it. And so, all Link did was laugh, then he carried his food to a seat in the corner and sat down and ate. He took a bite out of the loaf, then washed it down with a swig of ale. All throughout this scene, his spirits were calm and utterly undisturbed. The inn hall's crowd occasionally threw some remarks on Link from time to time, but seeing as they got no reaction or response from him, they just mumbled something to themselves and moved on to town gossip. Suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps from outside the door, as the light flowing into the inn was blocked. Darkness momentarily swept over the room, the change causing everyone inside to be silent. Every head turned towards the door. There at the entrance stood an enormous brute striding into the hall—he was almost seven-feet tall. His arms were bigger than Link's thighs, his hair was a netted mess, his face coarse and rugged, and his beard bushy and long. He was wearing grey leather armor with metal plates sewn over his heart and ribs. He was also carrying a war hammer on his shoulder made of pure iron. The handle and its head were eight inches long—it couldn't have weighed less than 150 pounds. But that wasn't the only thing the brute was carrying. On his back was a thick metal shield—it was at least two inches thick, also made of pure iron, and it couldn't have been easy to carry around either. Link could guarantee that if he was ever hit by a gentle swing of that hammer, he'd be as dead as a doornail. The brute walked into the hall as if he were a war tank invading enemy territory, each heavy step stomping loudly onto the floor's wooden planks. It was only when the brute was well inside the hall that everyone noticed the two people behind him. One of them was an Archer, about 30 years of age. His robust physique was also completely covered in leather armor. The other was a woman, around 27 or 28 years old. Crowning her face was a full head of fiery, red hair. She wore a full-body leather armor suit that hugged her figure, revealing enticing curves on a body so stunning she could easily spike any man's hormones. Every pair of eyes in the hall were latched onto them. The wretched drunkard Tormun couldn't peel his eyes off of the woman from the moment she appeared. He didn't even notice the drool spilling out of his mouth. This drunkard hadn't touched a woman for years, his eyes would've bulged out even if he'd seen a sow (female pig), let alone a beautiful woman like this. The woman appeared to be a swordswoman, seeing that she had a one-handed sword on her back. She was extremely perceptive of her surroundings, easily sensing the drooling Tormun's gaping stare. Immediately she glared at him with her cold deep-blue eyes. The rest of the crowd in the inn was spooked as well, and none of them dared to stare anymore. These three are definitely professionals, Link thought, There's a strong murderous aura emanating from that woman. She must've killed many people before. But I sense no darkness or evil coming from them, so I guess they must be roaming mercenaries undertaking missions in exchange for money. Seeing that the inn crowd was completely intimidated by them, they ordered their food and began a discussion as if no one else was around. They were boisterous and completely indiscreet, so Link could clearly hear every word they were saying. "There's just no way, no way in hell we could ever fight him. This Viktor scum is a wimpy little wuss! He'd just hide in his little cave and never come out. It's too dangerous if we go in there, it's too small to fit my bow, so I can't aim right. It's just impossible," the Archer said in a tone of exasperation as he took a big bite of smoked beef. "Hey, stop being so gloomy. Of course, it's a little bit more dangerous than usual, but don't forget how sweet the reward is going to be! And we've come a hundred miles! Are we really going to just give up now?" the woman responded. She then turned to the giant brute, "What do you say, Jacker?" The brute had a craggy face, but his demeanor was surprisingly gentle. He carefully cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, then slowly chewed the food. Hearing the woman's question, he considered it for a while, then said, "We need a helper. Viktor is a Level-3 Assassin; he's also developed Combat Aura. Now that he's on his toes, he'll make a terrible opponent." "Helper?" the Archer spat out with a laugh, "What kind of help can we get in River Cove? Unless...if we could get one of those Magicians in the East Cove Academy?" "Gildern, are you out of your mind?" the red-haired woman immediately countered, "What kind of Magician can we afford? Even if we give up all the reward we get they might still not pay us any attention, and don't even think about them risking the danger with us!" "I was only joking." The Archer pursed his lips, then lowered his head and concentrated on eating. Afterwards, the three mercenaries continued talking. Most of what they said was about their mission and the mission's goal. The name Viktor was mentioned a lot. But even after half a day of discussion, they didn't seem to come to any solution. But instead, the one who did come up with an idea was Link, who was listening intently their issue. He remembered exactly where he had heard the name Viktor before. Viktor, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, a band of rogues, robbers, and ruffians. The Brotherhood's most recognizable feature was their blood-red masks. In fact, the bandits that attacked Eliard in the forest had belonged to this Brotherhood. At that point in time, the Dark Brotherhood wreaked havoc in the western part of the Girventh Forest. It was the most powerful band of the underworld west of Girventh Forest, and Viktor was at its helm. His words held more power than the mayor of River Cove. If he wanted someone dead, one word and that person would not live to see the next sunrise. But of course, like any underworld organization, the reason Viktor could get so powerful in a town so near to Springs City was that he had powerful political connections in the capital. Link remembered exactly how far up the power ladder this connection was—the Iron Duke. It wasn't that the Iron Duke directly supported the Dark Brotherhood, but even so, he did receive part of the loot and treasure from Viktor, so he turned a blind eye to the Brotherhood's criminal activities. Naturally, this made Viktor even bolder and more unscrupulous. While thinking about all this information, he suddenly remembered a thing called Viktor's treasure trove. As an underworld leader, Viktor naturally was paranoid about his own safety. He never kept his treasures in the banks of Norton Kingdom. He would instead hide them in a secret location, but he didn't hide all of his treasures in one place, though. Instead, like a squirrel, he would hide portions of his treasures in numerous different locations all over the Girventh forest. In the game, if a player was lucky, he could have a chance of picking up a map to the location of Viktor's treasure trove. In fact, Link had picked one up once, and as he followed the path on the map, he eventually found 100 gold coins, which was equivalent to about 1500 dollars—indeed a substantial amount of money. The locations of the treasures shown on the map were random, but according to the statistics in the game forum, there should at least be 20 or more locations where Viktor buried his gold coins. If there were 100 gold coins in one location, then in 20 or more sites he would've collected enough money to pay the fees for the Academy! For this reason, Link's interest was piqued the moment he heard the name Viktor. His financial situation had become truly dire, so he had been listening intently and paying close attention the three mercenaries. Just then, he received a notification in the interface. Mission Activated: Assassination Mission Details: Kill the leader of the Dark Brotherhood Viktor! Mission Rewards: 10 Omni Points Ah, this is one mission I can't refuse! He waited patiently for the three mercenaries to finish their meal. Once they got up to leave the inn, he swiftly stood up and followed them. Once they were outside the inn Link hastened his footsteps and caught up with them. "Hey, wait up!" he shouted, "Is it true that you people are in need of a helper?"

As long as we are always honourable like him, everything will not wither…\"\nAs Lu Li rushed towards the Scarlet Crusade's fortress, he passed by many Scarlet Crusaders who were around level 50.\nThe entire fortress reeked of alcohol, and the stench was so thick that it could make a person vomit. It was unbelievable that this was indeed a fortress for Paladins. The knights in the Fireplace Valley were already incomparable to the Crusaders fighting against the Scourge day in and day out.\nPerhaps it was because of their extreme faith that they were so brave and ruthless in battle.\nHowever, they had not forgotten about their calling to destroy the Scourge.

It was clear that this retired Paladin was in a state of despair and hopelessness.\nMany game analysts ranked Paladins as the weakest early-game class in Dawn.\nPaladins were a 'jack-of-all-trades, but master of none' type of class. There were not elite at DPS, Tank or as a general support, while their skills greatly limited their ability to display their strength.

第829章 按照他上辈子所看的攻略，运气好的人时间长，可以优哉游哉的做任务，运气不好的话，时间就有可能短到跑着去都来不及。 “只有一刻钟的时间，如果你确定准备好了，就和我说一声，”麦兰达说道。 只有一刻钟的时间，陆离有点头疼，这时间确实够紧的。 不过好在他有坐骑，换个没坐骑的真的就来不及了。 陆离召唤出坐骑骑到上面，示意巫女麦兰达可以开始了。 麦兰达施法，很快就把陆离变成了一个血色十字军战士，犹豫陆离是骑着坐骑的，他的无头骑士的战马也顺理成章的伪装成了十字军制式的骑士战马。 “这一刻钟的时间内，你不能下马，不能战斗，否则就会失去伪装，”麦兰达警告说道。 “晓得了，如果没有其他的事情，我想我有点赶时间，”陆离抖了抖缰绳，一刻钟的时间并不如何宽裕，他必须行动了。 “如果下次再看到弗丁，请帮我带一句话，”巫女转过身，走向乌瑟尔之墓：“就算他，我们必须相信乌瑟尔队长的精神永存。 他一直注视着我们，即使黑暗笼罩着我们这片堕落的大地。 话语有点模糊，但是陆离却从中嗅到一丝无可奈何的悲凉。 或许，巫女都有预知一点未来的本事。 纵马狂奔，陆离骑着无头骑士的战马直取壁炉谷血色十字军的要塞，一路上到处都是五十级左右的血色十字军骑士。 血色十字军要塞里面酒气冲天，污浊的空气让人作呕，根本无法想象这是一个圣骑士的大本营，壁炉谷的这些血色十字军已经比不上那些还在外面与天灾作战的十字军了。 在外面与天灾苦战的那些十字军，或许他们也因为信仰的动摇而偏激，开始滥杀无辜。 可他们并没有忘记抵抗天灾军团的使命。 他们的偏激并不影响圣光的使用，而且他们至少不会无缘无故的去杀人。 泰兰·弗丁就在这里，门口守着四个高阶精英，两个骑士，一个法师，一个牧师。 要见泰兰大人，”陆离对着门口的几个卫兵说道，语调急切但是又充满了高高在上的傲气。 “为什么不去找大检察官阁下？” 卫兵狐疑的问。 主要是这样的情况实在太少见了，在壁炉谷的血色十字军大本营，几乎没有人把泰兰当成真正的领袖，所以即便有什么紧急军情，也不会有人来见这个傀儡领袖。 “我刚从大检察官阁下那里回来，”陆离一边说一边强势的驱马向前。 此时的他绝对外强中干，只要攻击他一下他就会现出原形，四个五十级精英随随便便出来一个就能把他的小命取走。 四个卫兵却不得不后退了，他们毕竟不知道陆离是冒牌货。 陆离驱马进入城堡径直前往泰兰·弗丁所在的位置，他在行政大厅里见到了独自一人喝闷酒的泰兰，这位曾经的圣骑士一脸倦容，精神状态极为不好。 不少游戏分析砖家认为曙光一开始的时候，圣骑士是最弱势的职业。 定位是万金油，实际上不管是做T做奶做输出都有点不够专精，而且由于技能的缘故，很大程度上限制了个人实力的发挥，而游戏背景里的这些圣骑士。 则很多处于迷茫和堕落之中。 圣骑士目前想要找个导师都比较困难。 信仰动摇后，圣骑士NPC实力大损，除非学着血色十字军这样走上偏激之路，而走上了偏激之路的圣骑士导师根本没有玩家敢接触。 “什么事！” 泰兰瓮声瓮气的问。 陆离坐在战马上。 居高临下的看着这个英雄之子。 泰兰顿了顿，将酒杯砸在面前的桌子上，吼道：“你是谁，你这话是什么意思，谁允许你用这样的口气和我说话？” “泰兰·弗丁，你发誓永远恪守白银之手的律令和荣耀吗？” “你发誓会感召圣光的恩惠。 并将它的智慧在你的追随者之中传颂吗？” “你发誓，不论在何时何地，只要发现邪恶的存在，你就会毫不忧郁将之粉碎，用你的每一滴血去保护弱小和无辜吗？” “你到底是谁？” 泰兰·弗丁被陆离问的脸色突变，他猛地站了起来。 陆离刚才的那三个问题是新兵宣誓加入白银之手时候的誓词，乌瑟尔亲自为泰兰主持了仪式，那时候他扶着泰兰的肩膀，感慨的说：“成为像你父亲那样的人，我的孩子。” “我带来了一些东西，或许你会感兴趣也说不定，”陆离将几样东西丢过去。 一把精致的小锤子——他饱含了一个父亲对儿子的爱和期许。 一张破损的荣耀战旗，它曾经被绝望的圣骑士遗弃，从那一刻起，他丢失了自己的导师，也丢弃了自己的信仰。 他的父亲走得早，除了给他留下一个壁炉谷和一个哀伤的母亲，其他什么都没有。 是那位老人教导了他骑士之道，带着他踏上了追随圣光的道路，他一天天的强大起来，他梦想着终有一天让圣光清洗洛丹伦的大地，让所有的天灾无所遁形。 然而，一切都成了泡影。 “还有这个东西，我想你可能同样印象深刻，”陆离把那副让老弗丁都落泪的画卷递了过去。 “这是……这……这不可能，但是这些东西……”错愕、惊讶在泰兰的脸上变幻，随后他便如遭重击般跪倒在地上，仅靠手中的巨剑支撑着身体。 泰兰跪在那里一直没有动，时空仿佛随着他的沉默而静止！ “大人，发生了什么事情？” 可能是被里面的动静惊扰，四个守在门口的卫兵冲了进来。
Chapter 829: Tyran Fordring Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations According to what he had seen in his previous life, the lucky ones would have ample time to complete missions, while the unlucky ones would not, even if they had rushed. "There's only a short amount of time. Call me when you are ready to begin," Myranda said. Lu Li was a little worried, but he had a mount this time, so things would be much easier. If he did not have a mount, then there was no way that this mission could be completed in time. Lu Li summoned his mount, which indicated to Myranda that he was ready to begin. Myranda casted a spell that transformed Lu Li into a Scarlet Crusader. His mount had also been turned into one of their horses. "During this time, you cannot dismount or battle. Otherwise, you will lose the disguise," Myranda warned. "Got it. If there is nothing else to address, I would prefer to hurry," Lu Li said as he shook the reins. Time was of the essence, so he needed to rush into action as quickly as possible. "The next time you see Fordring, please relay this message for me," the witch requested, then turned around, walked towards Uther's Tomb and continued, "We must trust that Uther's spirit is watching over us. Although the darkness envelops us in this fallen land, his light is the guide of all people. As long as we are always honourable like him, everything will not wither…" As Lu Li rushed towards the Scarlet Crusade's fortress, he passed by many Scarlet Crusaders who were around level 50. The entire fortress reeked of alcohol, and the stench was so thick that it could make a person vomit. It was unbelievable that this was indeed a fortress for Paladins. The knights in the Fireplace Valley were already incomparable to the Crusaders fighting against the Scourge day in and day out. Perhaps it was because of their extreme faith that they were so brave and ruthless in battle. However, they had not forgotten about their calling to destroy the Scourge. Their ruthlessness had not affected their use of the Holy Light, and they wouldn't kill indiscriminately. The fall of the Paladins had occurred rapidly. Lu Li had arrived at the main section of the fortress, which had been built specifically for Fordring. Tyran Fordring was inside with four high-level guards – two Knights, one Mage and a Priest. "I request an audience with Lord Tyran; I bring information about the Plaguelands," Lu Li said arrogantly. "Why don't you see the High Inquisitor instead?" one of the guards asked in suspicion. After all, no one had seen Tyran as the real leader of the Scarlet Crusade. If there was any military information, it would have been received by the High Inquisitor, not this figurehead. "I only came here after I had visited the High Inquisitor," Lu Li explained as he tried to push forward. If they had attacked him in his current state, he would instantly lose his disguise. Furthermore, these four Level 50 elites would have no trouble disposing of him either. However, the four guards couldn't refuse him. After all, they did not know that he was a fake. Lu Li rode his horse into the main castle towards Tyran Fordring's position. Shortly after, he saw Tyran drinking alone in the foyer. It was clear that this retired Paladin was in a state of despair and hopelessness. Many game analysts ranked Paladins as the weakest early-game class in Dawn. Paladins were a 'jack-of-all-trades, but master of none' type of class. There were not elite at DPS, Tank or as a general support, while their skills greatly limited their ability to display their strength. As such, many Paladins had given up, or had fallen to the dark side. Paladins also had more difficulty in finding an elite Teacher than other classes. When their faith had been shaken to its core, the Paladins NPCs lost a lot of their manpower. Unless a player had sided with an extreme faction, such as the Scarlet Crusade, no one would dare to approach any ruthless Paladin teacher. "What is it?!" Tyran yelled gloomily. "Are you still awake?" Lu Li asked as he sat on top of the war-horse, looking down at this hero of the past. Tyran snorted, slammed his glass on the table, and roared, "Who are you? How dare you use this kind of language and tone to speak to me? "Tyran Fordring, do you swear to protect the honour and glory of the Silver Hand for eternity?" "Do you swear to answer the Holy Light's grace, and share the wisdom that was imparted among your followers? "Do you swear to protect the small and innocent with every ounce of your blood whenever and wherever you encounter evil? "Who are you?" After being asked these three questions by Lu Li, Tyran's expression changed. The three questions that Lu Li had asked him were part of the oath that new recruits into the Silver Hand would swear when they were inducted. This process was led by Uther himself, and Uther had once said to him with a hand on his shoulder, "Become a man like your father, my child." "I brought some items which might cheer you up," Lu Li said as he tossed them to Tyran. The first was a small but intricate hammer that Tyran had received from his father. There was also a flag that had been abandoned by him on the battlefield. From that moment onwards, he had lost his teacher and his faith. He had lost his father early on as well. Old Fordring had left behind Fireplace Valley, a mother in mourning, and nothing else. The old man had taught him the ways of the Paladin, and had led him onto a path to pursue the Holy Light. He had grown stronger every day, dreaming of when he could eradicate all evil and allow the Light to shine upon the land of Lordaeron. However, this had all become nothing. "There's also this. I think you might recognise this item," Lu Li said, handing a picture towards Tyran that made him shed a few tears. "This…this…it's impossible. These items were…." Tyran was surprised and at a loss for words. Shortly after, he knelt on the ground with the large sword supporting his weight. Tyran knelt there for a long while, as if time had stopped in his deep thoughts. "My father is still alive…" "Lord Tyran, what has happened?" the four guards asked as they rushed into the castle, disturbed by the commotion they had heard inside.

He is relying on the fact that the range of his holy sense is longer than that of Sang Mo’s by a considerable distance. Thanks to this distance, he can detect Sang Mo before Sang Mo can detect him.\nSang Mo is still rushing south.\nIn only a moment, the distance between them has reached 100 li.\n“Indeed.” Qin Yu’s eyes flash with coldness. His holy sense has discovered clearly that there are 10-odd octopuses lying in wait in the west. Clenching his teeth, he keeps rushing west straight at his fastest speed like a beam of light regardless.\nThe western area is huge but because the enemies are 10-odd octopuses they have been able to cover a very large area with their holy senses.\nWhizz!\nA blur flashes through the area covered by an octopus’s holy sense. That member of the Sang clan immediately lets out a strange deep yowl: “The killer, it’s the killer!” Those words, said in the Sang clan’s unique language, make the 10-odd members of the Sang clan around jump.\nThe leader of this group takes out a transmitter at once.\n“Patriarch, the killer is running west.”\nIn only a short while, the huge octopus has already gone south several hundred li, but then he suddenly feels a message in his transmitter. The color of his face instantly changes. Uttering an extremely furious deep yowl, he makes a course correction again with his body and rushes west.\nSang Mo’s true form is extremely fast, but Qin Yu’s direction changes again at this moment.\n“Humph, chase me? Take your time chasing.”\nThen he changes his direction again and rushes east 1000 li!\nBecause Sang Mo does not know Qin Yu’s direction, he has not discovered any traces after a half day of chasing. He cannot help grudgingly accepting that this chase has failed and has no choice but to return to his den in rage.\nIn the palace of the Sang clan,\nThe man from the Green-eyed fish clan says smilingly: “Please don’t worry, Senior Sang Mo. This time you’ve asked 30 members of my clan to help you. Given our method of searching, that killer definitely won’t be able to lose us.” Obviously he is very confident.\nLifting his red robe, Sang Mo furiously takes the master seat of the main hall.\nHe went after the enemy in a big way but the enemy has escaped, so how can he possibly not be angry?\nAt this moment, 3 other men from the Green-eyed fish clan go into the main hall from inside the palace. There are fish scales on their faces too. These 3 men slightly bow respectfully as they see Sang Mo then one of them says: “Senior Sang Mo, our young have been able to trace the killer’s whereabouts.”\n“Say.” Sang Mo says very loudly. His entire body’s aura rises.\nThat man says: “When you were chasing that killer, at first he rushed west then hurried south. We’re not clear about some places he went to in the process, but later he more or less ran southeast. At the moment he is about 7000 li to the southeast of where you first tried to chase him down.”\nThese men from the Green-eyed fish clan are controlling no fewer than 1000 fish each. Every fish has become one of their eyes. Moreover, they can easily discover Qin Yu’s identity based on his rushing speed and the fact that he does not have a demonic aura.\nPerhaps within this area of 100,000 li in radius, only Qin Yu lacks a demonic aura and has such a fast speed. “Very good.”\nSang Mo suddenly stands up then says to a member of the Sang clan in the main hall with a cold ‘humph’: “Sang Lanpu, I let you all handle a small matter but you were useless. Give the transmitter to the Green-eyed fish clan’s members.” He is obviously very dissatisfied with the members of his own clan.\nThat member called Sang Lanpu immediately takes out a transmitter then hands it over to a man from the Green-eyed fish clan.\nSang Mo stares at this man and says in an ice-cold voice: “This time, I won’t let that bastard escape again no matter what. The 30 of you from the Green-eyed fish clan must stay in the palace and work together. If there’s any news, tell me about it through the transmitter.”\nLast time he failed because he could not receive information from others members of the Green-eyed fish clan. He has learned his lesson and is not going to make the same mistake this time.\nTherefore, he has given one of these 30 men a transmitter and told all of them to stay in the palace to message him whenever they have any information.\n“Please don’t worry, Senior Sang Mo. The fish controlled by the 30 of us average about one in several hundred li. As soon as that killer makes a move, they will detect him. He won’t be able to escape from the palm of our hand.” The man from the Green-eyed fish clan is very confident.\nSang Mo nods his head in satisfaction.\n“Senior, the killer is currently in this area.”\nHe hands a jade slip over to Sang Mo directly. Giving it a scan with his holy sense, Sang Mo immediately knows the location of that area. A faint savage smile appears on his face: “Xiuxianist bastard, you won’t escape this time no matter what.”\nWith his robe flapping, Sang Mo flies out of the main hall at once. ……\nQin Yu is leaning tiredly on the side of an underwater rock. The clothes on his body however can repel water. At the moment he is frowning deeply. It is obvious that he is pondering.\n“How was Sang Mo able to find my hiding place?”\nEven now Qin Yu cannot understand this. After all, he has always been very careful. To the best of his knowledge, he should not have left any traces. After thinking for a while, he presses his temples. He has not had a moment of peace since arriving in this underwater world of demonic beasts after leaving the Qian Long continent.\nHe is already too tired.\n“Father should be very happy now.” Qin Yu cannot help giving a faint calm smile.\nHis father is living in peace on the Qian Long continent while Qin Yu is fleeing for his life. Even worse, the enemies can appear anytime.\n“Fish in the ocean are really beautiful.” Qin Yu makes a wave of his hand. The several hundred fish of different colors in his vicinity swim away joyously at once. In the ocean, shoals of fish are the most common sight. Sometimes, thousands or even tens of thousands of fish can swim together.\nSwimming among fish is also a kind of enjoyment.\nHowever, Qin Yu does not notice that a fish among these several hundred fish is slightly different from the others. The special technique of the Green-eyed fish clan is not something he can detect.\nAfter resting for a while, he moves again.\nThere are very many Xiuyaoists in the ocean, but in this area of 100,000 li in radius, most Xiuyaoists are only at the Jindan stage. There are very few who have reached the early Yuanying stage but his holy sense discovers them long before they can discover him.\nOn the way, Qin Yu has to dodge continuously. Despite some scares, he does not encounter any serious dangers.\n“Very good, let’s stay here and practice the Northern Darkness again.” He has seen a huge seamount that is formed by layer upon layer of coral. He goes into it through a crack. Then, with a shake of his stellar energy, he creates a cave directly.\nSitting down in this cave, he sorts things out a bit.\nIn terms of offense, he should be relatively formidable. Not only is he good at close-quarters attacks, he can also control the Flaming Sword to execute long-range attacks. Besides, there are some special techniques from the Stellar Transformations book that he can use.\nAs for escaping ability, his body is comparable to holy weapons and he does not seem to experience any resistance when going through the water. Once he uses the Body Weapon Unification, his speed will indeed be frighteningly fast.\n“Whether to escape or to blend in with the Xiuyao world and experience it, I must learn the Northern Darkness.” Qin Yu immediately sits with legs crossed and begins to practice. Once again, he controls a thread of stellar energy, making it go up into his head.\nHis spiritual energy is indistinct and immaterial, as if it does not exist.\nBut stellar energy is a real force. His stellar energy then goes through his spiritual energy. Qin Yu simply does not know how to combine them with each other. Even worse, the practice method of this technique in that Xiumo book only has 1 word -- experiment.\nHe must experiment over and over again. The creator of this technique had to experiment many times before mysteriously succeeding. And so, not even he knew the exact reason for his triumph.\nDespite having to try using this technique repeatedly, Qin Yu is not worried at all.\nHe has already made preparations to undergo a one-month closed-door training session here to experiment with the technique. A month later, because Sang Mo will not have found him, perhaps the hunt for him will be slowed down. However, when Qin Yu has just been practicing for a half day,\n“Senior Sang Mo, according to my young’s message, he should be 100 to 200 li to the south of you. But I don’t know more details about his location.” The man from the Green-eyed fish clan sends a message.\n“Well done, very well done.”\nConcurrently with this, he gives the 30 members of the Green-eyed fish clan in the Sang clan’s palace an order through his transmitter: “Green-eyed fish clan’s members, watch carefully for me. Always send me info about that Xiuxianist’s location.” After sending the message using his holy sense, Sang Mo immediately chases in Qin Yu’s direction.\nWhich direction did Qin Yu run away in? The answer is impossible for Sang Mo to guess.\n“Senior Sang Mo, the killer is 150 li to the south of you. He’s rushing south extremely fast.”\nSang Mo is overjoyed to receive this message from the man of the Green-eyed fish clan. He immediately chases towards Qin Yu’s current location at an exceptionally high speed. Even though the distance between them is only 150 li, because they are going in the same direction, only after quite some time can Sang Mo gradually get close to Qin Yu.\n“How can Sang Mo know the direction I’m running in?” He knows that this is bad so he immediately changes direction once more. The distance between them grows again in an instant. ……\nAfter a while, Qin Yu discovers once more signs of Sang Mo’s presence not far behind him. With anger and incomprehension, he changes his direction again, instantly pulling away from Sang Mo.\nHowever, before long, Sang Mo comes near him yet again!\n“How can this bastard know my changed directions?” Qin Yu’s eyes glitter with coldness. Obviously he has been infuriated.\nBut behind him, Sang Mo has become furious because of the chase as well: “Xiuxianist, disgusting Xiuxianist, how can he always know in advance that I’m in pursuit to change his direction beforehand? Could it be his holy sense has an even longer range than mine?” He cannot accept this outcome.\nBoth the pursued and the pursuer are fuming. “The east!”\nOnce again, Qin Yu changes his direction. But this time he is unlucky because there is a fish that is under the control of the Green-eyed fish clan in his new direction.\n“Senior Sang Mo, the east, he’s running east!”\nThis time it seems Sang Mo’s effort is not wasted. He rushes east in an instant and closes on Qin Yu fast. Qin Yu, who at first thought that he had widened the distance between him and Sang Mo again, is so frightened that he breaks into a cold sweat. At the same time, he rages.\n“Even a clay statue would get angry if pushed to the wall. Don’t anger me, Sang Mo.”\nAt the moment, a dark cave at the bottom of the ocean seems to be a black hole. It is continuously swallowing up all natural kinds of energy in its surroundings. Some underwater demonic beasts which swim past this cave are even sucked in it directly without ever being able to escape.\nSoon, the suction of the cave suddenly disappears.\nFrom inside the cave,\n2 blue beams of light shoot out. The source of the light is the eyes of a black eagle. Since practicing a forbidden technique in his hereditary memories, Xiao Hei has gone through drastic changes.

第九章 “西方！” 秦羽根本顾不得其他，直接改变方向朝西方直接火速穿梭了过去，速度快的惊人，秦羽仗着自己的灵识范围比桑墨大上一段距离，具是那段距离让秦羽可以发现桑墨，桑墨却发现不了秦羽。 而桑墨依旧朝南方疾奔。 仅仅刹那，二人的距离便有百里之远。 秦羽眼中寒光一闪，他的灵识清晰的发现西方也有十几只八爪章鱼在守侯，秦羽一咬牙，用最快的速度化为一道流光不顾一切地直接朝西方冲去。 西方区域也大得很，对方十几只八爪章鱼却用灵识覆盖了很大一片区域。 “咻！” 一道流光从一只八爪章鱼所覆盖的区域穿梭而过，那桑族族人立即发出一道怪异的低吼声：“凶手，是凶手！” 桑族特有的语言让周围十几只桑族族人都一惊。 其中这只队伍的首领立即拿出一块传讯令。 族长，凶手从西方逃跑了。” 巨型八爪章鱼一动就到了南方数百里外，可是他忽然感应道传讯令的信息，脸色立即一变，发出一声怒极的低吼声。 同时身形再次一变又朝西方赶去。 这桑墨本体速度极快，然而此刻秦羽的方向再次变化。 “哼，追我，慢慢跑吧。” 而后再次改变方向，又朝东方飞行了千里！ 在根本不知道秦羽方向的情况下，[桑墨追了半日却没有发现一点踪迹后，不得不承认自己此次追踪的失败，只能愤怒且无奈的回到自己的老巢。 桑族宫殿之中。 青眼鱼族男子微笑道：“桑墨前辈敬请放心，此次你请了我们三十位族人，以我们的寻人之法，那凶手绝对不可能逃脱我们的追踪。” 青眼鱼族男子显得十分自信。 桑墨一掀红色长袍，怒气冲冲地坐在大殿主座之上。 大张旗鼓地去抓人，却被敌人跑了。 桑墨如何不气。 就在这时候，又有三名青眼鱼族男子从宫殿内走入了大殿之中，同样脸上有着鱼鳞。 这三名男子看到桑墨略显恭敬的躬身，而后其中一人道：“桑墨前辈，我们的孩儿们已然有了凶手的踪迹。” “说。” 桑墨中气十足，[]整个人气势都上来了。 那男子说道：“前辈追杀那凶手时，那凶手首先朝西方飞行，而后朝南方飞行，虽然其中过程有的地方不清楚，但是他后来大致上是朝东南方飞行，现在大概在前辈追杀他的地点的东南方七千里处。” 这些青眼鱼族男子每个人都控制着不下于千条的鱼儿，每一条鱼儿都成为了他们的眼睛，而且他们通过飞行速度，还有是否有妖气，很容易辨别秦羽的身份。 没有妖气，速度又如此快，这十万里区域内除了秦羽估计就没有别的修仙者了。 “很好。” 桑墨整个人猛地站了起来，而后对着大殿内一名桑族族人冷哼道，“桑兰圃，让你们办点事情都没用。 将传讯令给青眼鱼族的族人。” 那个桑兰圃的族人当即将传讯令取了出来，而后交给一名青眼鱼族男子。 桑墨盯着青眼鱼族男子冰冷道：“这次无论如何，[我都不会再让那个混蛋逃掉，你们青眼鱼族的人就在宫殿内，三十位兄弟一起协力，有任何消息都通过传讯令告诉我。” 上次吃亏没有其他青眼鱼族族人传递消息，[]这次桑墨学乖了。 直接将传讯令给其中一人，让这三十人都呆在宫殿内，任何一人有消息都可以传递给他了。 “桑墨前辈，敬请放心，我们三十位族人控制鱼儿几乎每百里就有一条，只要那凶手移动被鱼儿发现。 他就逃不出我们的掌控。” 桑墨满意点了点头。 “前辈，这是此刻凶手所在区域。” 桑墨脸上出现了一丝狰狞的笑容：“这次。 无论如何你都逃不掉了，修仙者的杂碎。” 红袍一卷桑墨整个人便直接飞出了大殿。 秦羽懒散偎依在一块水底礁石旁，身上的衣服却是有着辟水的效果，此刻的秦羽眉头是深锁的，显然正在思考。 “那桑墨到底是则么查到我藏身的地方？” 到了此刻秦羽也无法明白，他可一直小心的很。 按照他所想他应该没有留下设么马脚呀，想了片刻，秦羽则是按了按太阳穴，离开潜龙大陆到了这海底妖兽世界，秦羽可以可一刻没安静休息过。 太累了。 “父王他现在应该很快乐吧、”秦羽的脸上不自禁的有了一丝恬静的笑容。 而且敌人随时可能出现。 “海中的鱼儿真的很漂亮。” 秦羽一挥手，周围数百条各色的鱼儿便欢快的游开了，大海之中鱼群最多，有时候数千条数万条的鱼儿一同游动。 飞行于鱼儿之间，这也是一种享受。 然而秦羽根本不知道，在这数百条鱼中，[]有一条鱼儿却稍微有些不同，然而青眼鱼族特有的秘技。 休息了一会，秦羽再次动身了。 海域之中修妖者还是很多，可是这十万海域大多修妖者也就金丹期修为，极个别的元婴起前期，也早就在发现秦羽之前，就被秦羽的灵识发现了。 秦羽一路躲避，虽然惊险却也没有设么大的危险。 “很好，就在这再次修炼那‘北冥之法’。” 坐于这洞穴之中，秦羽略微整理了一下。 自己在攻击方面应该还是比较厉害的。 自己不擅长近身攻击，[]还可以操控“焱炽剑”进行远攻皆可。 而且还可以施展以些《星辰变》的绝招。 至于保命逃跑方面，自己的身体堪比灵器，飞行时候几乎没有什么阻力，一旦人器合一，速度地确快地惊人。 除此之外，自己还懂一些比较诡异特殊地技艺——魔道秘技！ “不管是逃命，还是体验修妖者世界，融入其中，必须学会‘北冥’。” 秦羽当即盘膝开始修炼了起来。 灵魂之力飘渺虚无，仿佛空无的存在。 而星辰之力确是实质的力量，星辰之力从灵魂之力中穿梭而过，[]秦羽根本无法明白，这星辰之力到底如何才能和灵魂之力相互融合。 而那魔道书籍之上，只有两个字——尝试。 不断的尝试，即使是创始者，也是尝试了许多次，然后莫明其妙的成功了。 即使是创始者。 一次次的尝试，秦羽却一点不着急。 他已经做好准备，大不了在这闭关一个月好好尝试一番，估计过了一个月，桑墨老是找不到他，追杀也会减缓的。 然后当秦羽刚刚修炼了半日。 “桑墨前辈，按照我的孩儿们信息，他应该就在前辈南方一百里到两百里之间，至于再详细的区域，我就不知道了。” 青眼鱼族男子传来了信息。 "这次你休想逃."桑墨脸上有了一丝冷笑,身体霎那化为一只巨大的红色八爪章鱼。 同时桑墨也通过传讯令，给身在桑族宫殿的三十名青眼鱼族族人下了命令：“青眼雨族的族人们，你们都给我控制仔细了，那个修仙者的踪迹你们随时向我传达。” 桑墨当即有了判定，那个可恶的修仙者再次改变了方向。 秦羽到底朝哪个方向跑的？ “桑墨前辈，那凶手在前辈南方一百五十里处，此刻正朝南方极速飞行。” 青眼雨族男子传来的信息让桑墨大喜，桑墨当即朝秦羽所在地地方极速赶了过去，彼此相距一百五十里，但是两人飞行方向一模一样，花费了好一会儿，桑墨才渐渐靠近秦羽。 灵识随时展开地秦羽一下子就发现了身后数十里外的桑墨。 “桑墨他怎么知道我逃跑方向？ []”秦羽知道不妙，当即再次改变方向，顿时再次拉开距离。 一会儿，秦羽又发现桑墨地踪迹出现在身后不远处，秦羽带着愤怒以及不解再次改变了方向，当即和桑墨距离又拉开了。 然而过了不久，桑墨又靠近了！ “这个混蛋怎么总是知道我改变方向。” 秦羽眼中寒芒闪闪，显然火了。 而后面的桑墨也是追的怒了：“修仙者，[]可恶的修仙者，我的追踪他怎么总是提前知道，总是提前改变方向，难道他的灵识范围比我的还要大？” 被追的人，和正在追的人火气都上来了。 秦羽再次改变方向，而这次秦羽去不幸运[，因为它改变方向的地方正有一条鱼儿，而且这条鱼儿还是青眼鱼族控制的一条鱼儿。 “桑墨前辈，东方，他朝东方逃了！” 桑墨这次几乎没有走冤枉路，直接跟着朝东方飞行，一下子和秦羽的距离靠近了。 原本以桑墨再次被拉开的秦羽吓得冷汗都冒出来了，同时火气也上来了。 “泥人还有三分气呢，桑墨，别惹急了我。” 幽暗的海底洞穴此刻仿佛黑洞一样，不断吞噬着各种天地灵气，甚至于一些水下妖兽从旁边游过，都直接被吸进这个洞穴之中，再也无法逃出来。 攸地，洞穴的吞噬力陡然消失。 洞穴内。 两道青光从洞穴之中射出，那是一直黑鹰的眼睛。 经历过‘传承记忆’禁术，小黑已然发生了翻天复地的变化，此刻的小黑瘦弱了许多，连一丝气势都没有。 “大哥，我来了。” 小黑身上气势陡然冒出，犹如冰冷的利刀一样。 小黑身形移动，仿佛一片薄薄的冰片一样，穿越了水流一下子消失不见，速度比之过去施展‘逝去电九闪’都要快上许多。
Book 5, Chapter 9 “The west!” Disregarding everything else, Qin Yu changes his direction and rushes straight to the west at a terrifyingly fast speed. He is relying on the fact that the range of his holy sense is longer than that of Sang Mo’s by a considerable distance. Thanks to this distance, he can detect Sang Mo before Sang Mo can detect him. Sang Mo is still rushing south. In only a moment, the distance between them has reached 100 li. “Indeed.” Qin Yu’s eyes flash with coldness. His holy sense has discovered clearly that there are 10-odd octopuses lying in wait in the west. Clenching his teeth, he keeps rushing west straight at his fastest speed like a beam of light regardless. The western area is huge but because the enemies are 10-odd octopuses they have been able to cover a very large area with their holy senses. Whizz! A blur flashes through the area covered by an octopus’s holy sense. That member of the Sang clan immediately lets out a strange deep yowl: “The killer, it’s the killer!” Those words, said in the Sang clan’s unique language, make the 10-odd members of the Sang clan around jump. The leader of this group takes out a transmitter at once. “Patriarch, the killer is running west.” In only a short while, the huge octopus has already gone south several hundred li, but then he suddenly feels a message in his transmitter. The color of his face instantly changes. Uttering an extremely furious deep yowl, he makes a course correction again with his body and rushes west. Sang Mo’s true form is extremely fast, but Qin Yu’s direction changes again at this moment. “Humph, chase me? Take your time chasing.” Then he changes his direction again and rushes east 1000 li! Because Sang Mo does not know Qin Yu’s direction, he has not discovered any traces after a half day of chasing. He cannot help grudgingly accepting that this chase has failed and has no choice but to return to his den in rage. In the palace of the Sang clan, The man from the Green-eyed fish clan says smilingly: “Please don’t worry, Senior Sang Mo. This time you’ve asked 30 members of my clan to help you. Given our method of searching, that killer definitely won’t be able to lose us.” Obviously he is very confident. Lifting his red robe, Sang Mo furiously takes the master seat of the main hall. He went after the enemy in a big way but the enemy has escaped, so how can he possibly not be angry? At this moment, 3 other men from the Green-eyed fish clan go into the main hall from inside the palace. There are fish scales on their faces too. These 3 men slightly bow respectfully as they see Sang Mo then one of them says: “Senior Sang Mo, our young have been able to trace the killer’s whereabouts.” “Say.” Sang Mo says very loudly. His entire body’s aura rises. That man says: “When you were chasing that killer, at first he rushed west then hurried south. We’re not clear about some places he went to in the process, but later he more or less ran southeast. At the moment he is about 7000 li to the southeast of where you first tried to chase him down.” These men from the Green-eyed fish clan are controlling no fewer than 1000 fish each. Every fish has become one of their eyes. Moreover, they can easily discover Qin Yu’s identity based on his rushing speed and the fact that he does not have a demonic aura. Perhaps within this area of 100,000 li in radius, only Qin Yu lacks a demonic aura and has such a fast speed. “Very good.” Sang Mo suddenly stands up then says to a member of the Sang clan in the main hall with a cold ‘humph’: “Sang Lanpu, I let you all handle a small matter but you were useless. Give the transmitter to the Green-eyed fish clan’s members.” He is obviously very dissatisfied with the members of his own clan. That member called Sang Lanpu immediately takes out a transmitter then hands it over to a man from the Green-eyed fish clan. Sang Mo stares at this man and says in an ice-cold voice: “This time, I won’t let that bastard escape again no matter what. The 30 of you from the Green-eyed fish clan must stay in the palace and work together. If there’s any news, tell me about it through the transmitter.” Last time he failed because he could not receive information from others members of the Green-eyed fish clan. He has learned his lesson and is not going to make the same mistake this time. Therefore, he has given one of these 30 men a transmitter and told all of them to stay in the palace to message him whenever they have any information. “Please don’t worry, Senior Sang Mo. The fish controlled by the 30 of us average about one in several hundred li. As soon as that killer makes a move, they will detect him. He won’t be able to escape from the palm of our hand.” The man from the Green-eyed fish clan is very confident. Sang Mo nods his head in satisfaction. “Senior, the killer is currently in this area.” He hands a jade slip over to Sang Mo directly. Giving it a scan with his holy sense, Sang Mo immediately knows the location of that area. A faint savage smile appears on his face: “Xiuxianist bastard, you won’t escape this time no matter what.” With his robe flapping, Sang Mo flies out of the main hall at once. …… Qin Yu is leaning tiredly on the side of an underwater rock. The clothes on his body however can repel water. At the moment he is frowning deeply. It is obvious that he is pondering. “How was Sang Mo able to find my hiding place?” Even now Qin Yu cannot understand this. After all, he has always been very careful. To the best of his knowledge, he should not have left any traces. After thinking for a while, he presses his temples. He has not had a moment of peace since arriving in this underwater world of demonic beasts after leaving the Qian Long continent. He is already too tired. “Father should be very happy now.” Qin Yu cannot help giving a faint calm smile. His father is living in peace on the Qian Long continent while Qin Yu is fleeing for his life. Even worse, the enemies can appear anytime. “Fish in the ocean are really beautiful.” Qin Yu makes a wave of his hand. The several hundred fish of different colors in his vicinity swim away joyously at once. In the ocean, shoals of fish are the most common sight. Sometimes, thousands or even tens of thousands of fish can swim together. Swimming among fish is also a kind of enjoyment. However, Qin Yu does not notice that a fish among these several hundred fish is slightly different from the others. The special technique of the Green-eyed fish clan is not something he can detect. After resting for a while, he moves again. There are very many Xiuyaoists in the ocean, but in this area of 100,000 li in radius, most Xiuyaoists are only at the Jindan stage. There are very few who have reached the early Yuanying stage but his holy sense discovers them long before they can discover him. On the way, Qin Yu has to dodge continuously. Despite some scares, he does not encounter any serious dangers. “Very good, let’s stay here and practice the Northern Darkness again.” He has seen a huge seamount that is formed by layer upon layer of coral. He goes into it through a crack. Then, with a shake of his stellar energy, he creates a cave directly. Sitting down in this cave, he sorts things out a bit. In terms of offense, he should be relatively formidable. Not only is he good at close-quarters attacks, he can also control the Flaming Sword to execute long-range attacks. Besides, there are some special techniques from the Stellar Transformations book that he can use. As for escaping ability, his body is comparable to holy weapons and he does not seem to experience any resistance when going through the water. Once he uses the Body Weapon Unification, his speed will indeed be frighteningly fast. “Whether to escape or to blend in with the Xiuyao world and experience it, I must learn the Northern Darkness.” Qin Yu immediately sits with legs crossed and begins to practice. Once again, he controls a thread of stellar energy, making it go up into his head. His spiritual energy is indistinct and immaterial, as if it does not exist. But stellar energy is a real force. His stellar energy then goes through his spiritual energy. Qin Yu simply does not know how to combine them with each other. Even worse, the practice method of this technique in that Xiumo book only has 1 word -- experiment. He must experiment over and over again. The creator of this technique had to experiment many times before mysteriously succeeding. And so, not even he knew the exact reason for his triumph. Despite having to try using this technique repeatedly, Qin Yu is not worried at all. He has already made preparations to undergo a one-month closed-door training session here to experiment with the technique. A month later, because Sang Mo will not have found him, perhaps the hunt for him will be slowed down. However, when Qin Yu has just been practicing for a half day, “Senior Sang Mo, according to my young’s message, he should be 100 to 200 li to the south of you. But I don’t know more details about his location.” The man from the Green-eyed fish clan sends a message. “Well done, very well done.” Concurrently with this, he gives the 30 members of the Green-eyed fish clan in the Sang clan’s palace an order through his transmitter: “Green-eyed fish clan’s members, watch carefully for me. Always send me info about that Xiuxianist’s location.” After sending the message using his holy sense, Sang Mo immediately chases in Qin Yu’s direction. Which direction did Qin Yu run away in? The answer is impossible for Sang Mo to guess. “Senior Sang Mo, the killer is 150 li to the south of you. He’s rushing south extremely fast.” Sang Mo is overjoyed to receive this message from the man of the Green-eyed fish clan. He immediately chases towards Qin Yu’s current location at an exceptionally high speed. Even though the distance between them is only 150 li, because they are going in the same direction, only after quite some time can Sang Mo gradually get close to Qin Yu. “How can Sang Mo know the direction I’m running in?” He knows that this is bad so he immediately changes direction once more. The distance between them grows again in an instant. …… After a while, Qin Yu discovers once more signs of Sang Mo’s presence not far behind him. With anger and incomprehension, he changes his direction again, instantly pulling away from Sang Mo. However, before long, Sang Mo comes near him yet again! “How can this bastard know my changed directions?” Qin Yu’s eyes glitter with coldness. Obviously he has been infuriated. But behind him, Sang Mo has become furious because of the chase as well: “Xiuxianist, disgusting Xiuxianist, how can he always know in advance that I’m in pursuit to change his direction beforehand? Could it be his holy sense has an even longer range than mine?” He cannot accept this outcome. Both the pursued and the pursuer are fuming. “The east!” Once again, Qin Yu changes his direction. But this time he is unlucky because there is a fish that is under the control of the Green-eyed fish clan in his new direction. “Senior Sang Mo, the east, he’s running east!” This time it seems Sang Mo’s effort is not wasted. He rushes east in an instant and closes on Qin Yu fast. Qin Yu, who at first thought that he had widened the distance between him and Sang Mo again, is so frightened that he breaks into a cold sweat. At the same time, he rages. “Even a clay statue would get angry if pushed to the wall. Don’t anger me, Sang Mo.” At the moment, a dark cave at the bottom of the ocean seems to be a black hole. It is continuously swallowing up all natural kinds of energy in its surroundings. Some underwater demonic beasts which swim past this cave are even sucked in it directly without ever being able to escape. Soon, the suction of the cave suddenly disappears. From inside the cave, 2 blue beams of light shoot out. The source of the light is the eyes of a black eagle. Since practicing a forbidden technique in his hereditary memories, Xiao Hei has gone through drastic changes. Now he is much thinner than before and even looks absolutely exhausted. “Big brother, I’m coming.” His aura suddenly comes out from his body. It feels like … an ice-cold sharp knife. With a movement of his body, which seems like a thin block of ice, Xiao Hei pierces through the water currents. He disappears in an instant. His current speed is even much faster than his speed when using the Passing Lightning Flashing Nine Times previously.

It looked like a good place for wealthy people to recuperate.\nThis Situ Qiong knew how to enjoy too.\nAfter Lin Che settled down, she headed to Xiangshan.\nHowever, when she arrived at the entrance, she was stopped.\nLin Che asked, “Isn’t this the resort?”\nThe staff at the entrance said, “Sorry, this place is not opened to the public today.”\n“Not opened to the public?” Lin Che asked, “I’d like to know if Mr. Situ is in here?”\nThe staff only looked at Lin Che and ignored here.\nLin Che said, “I just want to visit Mr. Situ. Am I not allowed to?”\n“Mr. Situ is not seeing anybody. Please leave.” “Can’t you tell Mr. Situ to at least meet me before rejecting?”\n“Mr. Situ does not see anybody. Please leave,” he grunted and said. “If you don’t, I’m not going to be courteous to you.”\nHe was about to chase her off when another voice sounded from behind.\n“Lin Che, you’re here to look for Mr. Situ too?”\nIt was Lin Li.\nShe also came on the same day to visit Situ Qiong.\nLin Che saw Lin Li and was equally surprised.\nLin Li asked, “Why? Do you think only you can join the WW party?”\nLin Che was even more surprised, “You’re joining the WW party?”\n“That’s right. I already qualified. Why? Are you surprised?” Lin Li said triumphantly. “If an illegitimate child like you can participate, of course I can participate. Don’t underestimate my status now.”\nLin Che would never believe that a daughter of the Lin family would qualify for such a grand event.\nAfter thinking about it, she understood that it must have been Lu Chuxia’s doing again.\nLin Li grunted and shoved Lin Che aside. She said to the entrance staff charmingly, “Handsome, I am Lin Li. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the TV dramas I acted in. I want to see Mr. Situ. Can I?”\nThe entrance staff swept over Lin Li, “Mr. Situ does not welcome visitors.”\nLin Li’s face instantly fell and she grunted, “Who do you think you are? Do you dare to stop me? You are just a watchdog. I have Miss Lu’s recommendation. Take it to your Mr. Situ. He’ll see me immediately.”\nThe entrance staff said, “Mr. Situ already instructed us. He doesn’t want to see anybody. If you guys continue being a nuisance here, I’ll immediately send people to get rid of you.”\nLin Che was still watching from behind. She kept a distance that was not too far and not too near.\nThe entrance staff waved his hand and the men behind stepped forward, ready to chase them off.\nBut when it came to Lin Che, someone quickly said in a low voice, “This woman is part of the Gu family. Do you see? You can’t touch her.”\nThe entrance staff took one look. Sure enough, some burly men were behind her. They all wore concealed badges of the Gu family.\nThese people were Gu Jingze’s people.\nThe entrance staff pondered for a while and then said, “Miss, since you are under the protection of Mr. Gu, we won’t put you in a spot. It’s just that Mr. Situ demanded not to see anyone. It’s better that you leave.”\nLin Li was chased off to the side. Lin Che looked and could only retreat.\nLin Li watched in anger. She glared at Lin Che and grunted, “You can’t see him anyway, hmph. Wait until I get a letter from the Lu family. I’ll come to look for him again. These dogs will have to make way for me. I’ll see how you can meet Mr. Situ. Hmph.”\nLin Che returned defeated and sulked in her hotel room.\nShe didn’t expect Situ Qiong to really not see anybody.\nShe called Yu Minmin and told her about it.\nYu Minmin said, “I guessed that he wouldn’t be easy to approach. I’ll think of a way to get you in tomorrow. You’ll see Situ Qiong then and plan your route back.”\nLin Che could only nod and ask her, “How are you going to get me in?”\n“I’ll have to think of a way to use Weirdo Gu.” “…”\nWhy did she call Mr. President a weirdo?\nHowever, Yu Minmin indeed made use of her relations.\nThe next day, she asked Linda to settle it. She sent Linda straight to Xiangshan to investigate in the name of the government on the basis that there could be hidden dangers endangering public safety.\nLinda brought some people along with her. When she met Lin Che, she made Lin Che put on the military uniform. Under the disguise of a female soldier, she snuck in with them.\nYang Lingxin also tagged along, feeling extremely amazed when she went in.\n“Those people yesterday really can’t say anything now.”\nLinda said, “They naturally don’t dare to offend the National Security Agency. Alright, you guys go in. I’ll take you out later.”\nLin Che nodded and thanked Linda.\nYang Lingxin said, “Even the president is helping you. Sister Che, you’ll definitely succeed.”\nLin Che said, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. It’s a risk for us to come in here like this. If Mr. Situ isn’t willing to help us, he’ll be even angrier when he sees us come in like this. That would be a disaster.”\nYang Lingxin said, “Surely not? If we beg him sincerely, why wouldn’t he help?”\n“Mr. Situ has a weird character. And even if he was a normal person, it’s natural to not want to help others. Not everybody is willing to do something for a complete stranger.”" } ]
“击剑啊，这里有一个人的资料，他可是号称第一训练手呢，你如果能够让他训练你，击剑，你想必会赢的别人落花流水。” 林莉闻言，忙拿过了资料看，见上面的名字写着，司徒琼。 林澈当天便启程先往香山小寨赶去。 坐着飞机，很快便到了香山小寨锁在的s市。 在车上，看着资料，一边的杨凌昕说，“澈姐，这个人很重要吗？” 林澈说，“当然了，关乎我会不会丢人丢彻底的一个人。” “那为什么不让顾总先去拜访呢。” “顾靖泽跟他也没什么交流。” 林澈说着，想着其实她私心里也不想顾靖泽去因为她拜托别人。 让顾靖泽去，无外乎两个结果吧，一个是他放低身段求人，一个是霸道的直接绑人了。 绑人怪不好的，求人，她却也不舍得看着顾靖泽去求人。 而且还是因为她。 她去求人倒是无所谓，反正她本来也不算是有什么身份的人，也没射弩段可以放，她不要脸也习惯了。 杨凌昕负责帮她处理下杂事，在一边看着酒店到了，两个人直接先进了酒店收拾打点。 这里距离香山小寨不是很远，站在楼上，还能看到那个度假村样子古朴，却十分的漂亮和宽敞，一看就是有钱人养生的好地方。 这个司徒琼也怪会享受的。 林澈安顿好了，便直接去了香山小寨。 谁知道了门口，便被拦了下来。 林澈说，“这里不是度假村吗？” 门口的工作人员说，“对不起，这里今天不对外开放。” “不对外开放？” 林澈便问，“我想问问，是司徒先生在这里吗？” 工作人员只是看了林澈一眼，没理会她。 林澈道，“我只是想拜访一下司徒先生，难道不可以吗？” “我希望你能告诉司徒先生一下，不管为什么，见面了再拒绝不好吗。” “司徒先生不见任何人，你走吧。” 他哼了声，直接道，“你如果不走的话，我可是不客气了。” 他说着要赶人，这时，后面又传来了一个声音。 “林澈，你竟然也来找司徒先生。” 是林莉。 她在同一天到了这里，便也直接来到了这里拜访。 林澈看到林莉，也很意外。 林莉说，“怎么，你以为只有你有资格参加ww宴会吗？” 林澈更加意外，“你要参加ww宴会？” 林莉得意的说，“你这个私生子都有资格参加，我当然比你更有资格，而且，你也不要小看了我现在的地位好吗。” 林澈才不相信，林家的千金，会有资格参加这么高端的宴会。 想了一下，也就明白了，大概，又是陆初夏。 林莉哼了声，一下撞开了林澈，对着门口的人，一脸谄媚的说，“帅哥，我是林莉，不知道你有没有看过我演的电视剧啊，我想见见司徒先生，可以吗？” 门口的人扫了一眼林莉，“司徒先生不见客。” 林莉一下子收回了笑脸，哼了声道，“你算是什么东西，还敢拦着我，你不过是个站在门口的看么狗而已，我有陆小姐的见贴，你拿给你们家司徒先生，他马上就会要见我了。” 门口的人说，“司徒先生吩咐过了，他谁也不见，你们再在这里捣乱，我马上让人赶走你们。” 林澈也还在后面看着，离的不近，但是也不远。 门口的人一挥手，后面的人当即要上前来赶人。 但是到林澈这边的时候，后面的人忙低声说了句，“这个女人后面跟着顾家的人，你看，不能动。” 门口的人一看，后面果然跟着虎视眈眈的男人们，身上都带着顾家隐晦的徽章。 这些人竟然是顾靖泽的人。 门口的人沉吟了下，说，“这位小姐，既然您是顾先生的人，我们不为难您，只是，司徒先生有命令，不见任何人，您走吧。” 林莉被驱赶到了一边，林澈看了看，也只能后退了出去。 林莉气愤的看着，瞪着林澈，哼了声，“反正你也见不到人，哼，等我拿了陆家的拜贴，再来找人，这些狗东西，都要给我让路，我看你怎么见司徒先生，哼。” 林澈无功而返，在酒店里犯愁。 没想到，司徒琼竟然是真的谁也不见的。 她给俞闵闵打了个电话，说了这件事。 俞闵闵说，“料想到了他人不太好弄，我明天想个办法把你弄进去，你到时候见到了司徒琼，再见机行事吧。” 林澈只能点点头，问她，“你怎么把我弄进去呢？” “只能想办法利用一下顾怪胎了。” 干嘛管总统先生叫怪胎啊。 但是，俞闵闵确实还是利用了关系。 第二天，她便找琳达去弄了一下，让琳达找人直接去检查香山小寨，以政府的名义，说那边有危害公共安全的隐患。 琳达带着人过去后，看到了林澈，直接让林澈穿上了军装，伪装成了女兵，便跟着一起进了里面。 杨凌昕也一起跟着，进了里面还觉得十分惊奇。 “昨天那些人今天可真是一句话也说不出来了。” 琳达说，“国安局的人，他们自然不敢惹，好了，你们进去吧，一会儿我再来带你们出来。” 林澈点点头，对琳达说谢谢。 杨凌昕说，“总统都能来帮忙，澈姐，你一定能成功的。” 林澈说，“也不能高兴的太早，我们这样进来本来也是在冒险，万一司徒先生不愿意帮忙，看到我们这样进来，还更生气了，那就糟糕了。” 杨凌昕说，“不会吧，我们诚心求他，他为什么不帮忙呢。” “司徒先生本来就性情古怪吗，而且，就算是普通人，不想帮别人也是理所当然的，不是每个人都有义务帮一个陌生人做事。”
Atlas Studios “Fencing? There is some information on a person here. He is named the top instructor. If you can get him to coach you on fencing, you might be able to win.” Lin Li heard this and quickly took the paper to see. The name on it was Situ Qiong. — Lin Che made her way to Xiangshan on that day. She took a plane and very quickly reached S City where Xiangshan was. On the car, she looked at the documents while Yang Lingxin asked, “Sister Che, is this person very important?” Lin Che said, “Of course. He’s the person who will determine whether I’ll be an embarrassment or not.” “Why don’t you let President Gu make a trip down?” “Gu Jingze never interacted with him,” Lin Che explained. Actually, she really didn’t want Gu Jingze to go and plead to someone else for her sake. If Gu Jingze went, there would be two possible consequences. One was that he would have to put down his pride and beg. The other was to use tyranny and leave that person with no other choice. The latter wasn’t a good idea and she would never bear to let Gu Jingze beg someone. Especially not for her. It didn’t matter if she was the one begging. She didn’t really have any status, to begin with, neither did she have any ammunition. She was also used to being shameless. Yang Lingxin was in charge of handling miscellaneous matters. When they reached the hotel, they headed straight to the room and made preparations. They were not too far away from Xiangshan. Standing on higher grounds, they could see that the resort looked very simple but extremely beautiful and spacious. It looked like a good place for wealthy people to recuperate.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 第十八章\n看着眼前的那个菜单，张铁恍惚了一下，这最后的一个菜单，他一年多都没有翻动过了，除了第一次获得黑铁之堡的时候他粗略的看了看这个菜单，最后差点让他心脏休克之外，从在黑炎城开始，到此刻，这个菜单一直都在沉睡之中。\n张铁还依稀记得，这个菜单里面可以让小树主动生成的那些“特殊种子与果实”所需要的大量的基本能量储备，功德值与灵气值曾经对他来说就是一个个天文数字。\n难道此刻的自己已经可以让这个菜单里的某些特殊的种子与果实生长出来了吗？\n张铁问出了这个问题。\n“黑铁之堡现在所积累的财富，已经可以让小树生成少数几种特殊的种子了！” 海勒肯定的回答到。\n张铁当然知道海勒所指的财富，其实也就是黑铁之堡的那几个基本数据，张铁的手隔空一按，一个全新的画面就出现在他和海勒面前。\n这个画面和张铁第一次打开这个菜单看到的一样，上面都是各种奇形怪状的种子和果实的旋转着的立体三维图案与图案下面的文字介绍，只不过与第一次不同的是，这一次，那些图案中的少数几个，已经处于鲜亮的激活状态之中。\n海勒用手指了指那些处于激活状态的种子中的一个，张铁顺手一点，那颗种子的三维立体图案一下子变大，更清晰的出现在两个人面前。\n——一级生命之花所需种植面积：长宽各40弓。\n——这是奥秘之花，也是某些种族口中的禁忌之花，因为它洞悉与破解了生命存在的基础和奥秘，只需要一个还具有生命活性的细胞，生命之花就能克隆出同样的生命。\n这颗所谓的生命之花的种子所需要的灵气值，基本能量储备和功德值的数量之大，简直出乎张铁的预料，这些文字中，所有的字张铁都认知，但凑在一起，张铁就有些摸不着头脑了。\n“什么叫克隆？” 张铁问海勒。\n“所谓的克隆，简单的说就是复制生命！”\n“复制生命？” 张铁被这个答案狠狠的震了一下。\n“不错，是百分之百的把一个生命的肉体复制出来，如果你对大灾变之前人类的科技发展有着足够了解的话，那你就知道，其实在大灾变之前，人类已经掌握了克隆生命的技术，这是人类所掌握的关于生命物质领域最尖端的技术之一。” “那禁忌是什么意思？”\n“只需要你的一滴鲜血，生命之花就能克隆出一个长相和你一模一样，身体所有外部特征与基因都和你一模一样的人，那你说当那个人和你同时站在一起时，对你的父母来说，谁才是张铁呢？”\n“当然我才是张铁！”\n“你是张铁没错，那么那个和你一模一样的人是谁呢？ 从血缘上来说，那个人即来源于你，同样也来源于你的父母！”\n海勒的问题把张铁问住了。\n“所以，以人类的角度来说，这种技术会带来lun理上的巨大冲击，因此这种技术在人类世界从问世之日起，就变成一种禁忌，对宇宙中的很多种族和生命来说，的确无法接受这样的事情！”\n“等等，你的意思是说还有很多其他的种族与生命并不觉得这是什么难以理解的事情，他们难道不把这种事情看做是禁忌？” 张铁敏感的把握到了海勒话语中的另外一层意思。\n“这种技术之所以成为禁忌，那在于不同种族与生命对生命本质理解的差别，如果你认为你的生命和你本人就是你的这具由各种物质元素和血肉与所组成的身体，那么，这的确是最大的禁忌，但是，如果你把你的这具身体看做是一件衣服，一个在物质世界让你存在的工具，你还觉得它是禁忌吗？\n“那你的意思是这算不了什么？”\n“我说了，这完全取决于你对生命的认识，如果这个身体就是你，那么，你是否觉得那些身体残缺的人和你已经有本质的区别，或者你看到他们只是觉得他们的穿的衣服不小心弄破了，样子没有你的好看，本质上他们和你还是一样。 如果这个身体就是你，那么，在魂劫果中那个历经生死的人又是谁，或者，那只是完全存在于你脑海中的幻想与意识活动？”\n海勒认真的看着微微皱着眉头思索着的张铁，“这个问题你并不用纠结，黑铁之堡所有在的一切，都是为了你而存在，你是这里的绝对统治者，所以这里的东西并不需要去改变和扭曲你的世界观来适应它，它们会来适应你的，你觉得它们应该是什么样子它们就会是什么样子！ 你觉得它们让你难以接受你可以不选择他们，如果你觉得这和一个成衣作坊差不多，那么，它们就是一个成衣作坊！”\n张铁稍微思考了一阵就笑了起来，什么狗屁禁忌，自己又没打算用这个东西去做些什么奇怪的事情，想那么多干什么。 还是考虑点更现实的事情才是正理。\n“所以你才叫我弄一块深海巨妖的血肉进来？”\n“不错，那种强大的变异生物很有价值，如果你能付得起相应的代价的话，只要有生命之花，你就可以源源不断的在黑铁之堡里面制造出深海巨妖这种生物！”\n“我看深海巨妖这种生物也不是很强大啊！ 那个什么星月剑圣一出手，几分钟就被*掉了，而且我要这些看起来恶心巴拉的东西干什么呢？” 张铁撇了撇嘴说道。\n“根据我对你拿回来的那块血肉的分析，那头被*掉的深海巨妖才刚刚处于青年期，还没有彻底成年，这种生物的发展潜力和生长潜力都非常巨大，如果是一头成年期的深海巨妖，它的体型至少还要比你所看到的那头还要大一倍以上，而且也不会这么容易被人干掉，成年的深海巨妖是海洋中最强大的霸主之一，更重要的是，因为这种在黑铁之堡中被克隆出来的生物都是通过消耗你为它们提供的资源才得以拥有生命的，它们的存在和你有着千丝万缕的联系，所以这些克隆生物天生就会对你亲近无比，会把你视为它们理所当然的主宰者！”\n“你是说我可以把这些被生命之花复制出来的东西当做宠物？”\n“只要你愿意，它们绝对会比宠物听话一万倍！” 海勒肯定的说道。\n张铁的小心肝一下子蹦蹦蹦的跳了起来，海勒的话有一股奇异的魔力，张铁看着自己面前那颗生命之花的种子，正觉得有些意动，突然又想到了一个问题。\n“你刚刚说人类的科技在大灾变之前已经掌握了克隆技术，那么，难道这个生命之花就是人类科技的产物？”\n海勒笑了起来，“除了人类之外，宇宙中各种生命和物种存在的数量有千千万万，生命之花就是这其中的一种生物，曾经的人类梦想通过科技征服世界，你是否想过，这个宇宙中还有其他的种族和生命，他们通过栽种到地下的各种植物就能征服一切，那些植物的本能就完全拥有他们需要的所有功能，而且那些功能比人类用科技创造出来的成果更加的完美，人类用科技千辛万苦才能达到的目的，对有的生物和种族来说就完全是它们与生俱来的本能！”\n鸟天生就会飞，人类发明飞行器又经历了多久？ 治理水土污染一直到大灾变之前都是人类社会重要的科技议题，但是很多植物天生就能净化水质和让土壤恢复活力，比人类的科技文明强大千百倍，人类一直梦想利用阳光来实现人类永久繁荣和生存的梦想，但这个问题所有能进行光合作用的植物从生下来就能做到了。” “人类掌握利用电磁信号传递信息是什么时候的事情？\n而一座森林里所有的植物天生就能通过电磁信号把能威胁到它们的入侵者的信号瞬息就传播到数千公里之外，让所有的同类植物都知道，从而做出一些相应的反应。 你觉得它们的本能奇怪吗？\n海勒的话让张铁摸了摸自己的脑袋，黑铁之堡的这个管家，不仅长得可以让别人自惭形秽，就是口才和智慧在需要的时候同样可以让人相形见拙，与海勒一比，张铁才发现自己的知识完全就像是一个幼儿园的小朋友。\n等等，张铁脑子里灵光一闪，突然想到了什么，那是华族中的神话，在华族中的很多神话和传说中，许多人和生物就是从花朵里面化生孕育出来的，根本没经过娘胎，难道那些神话和传说并不完全都是假的？ 张铁立刻就把自己知道的几个神话传说说了出来。\n“人类的神话和传说中有很多来自远古的记忆和知识的传承，当然，也有很多完全是根据后人的想象杜撰编造出来的，根据你刚刚所说的那些神话传说，我只能告诉你，生存在这个星球上的华族中的某些人有可能在很久以前拥有过一颗生命之花！” 海勒认真的对张铁说道。\n“怎么？ 难道还有另外一个黑铁之堡？” 张铁微微一惊。\n“黑铁之堡是唯一的，但是生命之花却是一个庞大的特殊植物种族中的一员，因此，这个宇宙中存在的生命之花肯定不止一朵！”\n“那为什么小树可以结出生命之花的种子和果实？”\n“因为曼殊沙华宝树就是那个庞大特殊的植物种族中的王者，这个王者拥有那个庞大特殊的植物种族中所有成员的生命烙印，在条件成熟的时候，曼殊沙华宝树就能把它所拥有的那些生命烙印释放出来，这是它的宿命与本能，你可以把生命之花看做是曼殊沙华宝树这个王者的臣民与下属！”\n“所以，‘曼殊沙华因缘万果宝树特殊种子与果实生成’这个菜单功能本质上就是让小树释放出那个庞大特殊的植物种族生命烙印的引产通道？” 张铁瞪大了眼睛。\n“你可以把它看做是一个契约和协议，一个你通过自己的努力和付出把它们带来这个世界上，而它们通过自己的本能为你服务的约定，宇宙中最完美最和谐的关系都是建立在这种互惠互利相互合作与依赖的基础之上的！”\n海勒坦然的承认道。 “那么，这个空间，也就是黑铁之堡，最早有可能就是一个为那颗小树带来的各个臣民，那个奇怪的植物种族中各种奇怪的花花草草准备的大植物园？ 而我，就是一个恰巧被选中的照顾这个植物园的勤劳的园丁？”\n张铁指着自己的鼻子问道。.\nEnglish:\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Chapter 397: Flower of Life\nTranslator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost Gazing at the last option for a while, Zhang Tie realized that he hadn't touched it for over a year. After skimming over this option when he obtained the Castle of Black Iron at the beginning, which almost made him suffer from a heart attack due to excitement, Zhang Tie had not checked this option at all.\nZhang Tie could still remember the astronomical figures of basic energy storage, merit values and aura values required by those \"special seeds and fruits\".\n\"Am I able to grow some special seeds and fruits now?\"\nZhang Tie asked.\n\"The wealth accumulated in Castle of Black Iron has been able to grow a few special seeds on the small tree.\" Heller confirmed. \"Why not give it a look.\"\nOf course, Zhang Tie knew what the word 'wealth' meant coming from Heller's mouth. It actually referred to those basic data. Zhang Tie then pressed the last option in the air before seeing a wholly new interface.\nBeing the same same as the first time Zhang Tie opened the option, there were various rotating three-dimensional patterns and descriptions of strange seeds and fruits on the interface. The only difference was that a few of those patterns were bright as they were activated.\nHeller then pointed at one of those activated seeds. Zhang Tie then touched its pattern. In a split second, its three-dimensional pattern became enlarged and clearer. ——Seed of Flower of Life\n——Planting Area for LV 1 Flower of Life: A Square with a side length of 66 m.\n——Flower of Secret, also the flower of taboo which was usually mentioned by some human clans. It figured out the fundamental secrets of the existence of life. With one bioactive cell, the flower of life could clone another living being.\nThe seed of this flower of life required astronomical amounts of aura values, basic energy storage and merit values which were out of Zhang Tie's imagination.\n\"What's clone?\" Zhang Tie asked Heller.\n\"Simply put, a clone is a duplicate of another living being.\"\n\"Duplicate a life?\" Zhang Tie was shocked by this answer greatly.\n\"That's it. It could duplicate a new life, including flesh and blood. If you have learned a lot about the scientific development of mankind before the catastrophe, you would know that people have already mastered the technology of cloning technique before the catastrophe. It's one of the most high-end techniques that people have mastered during that age.\" \"What do you mean by taboo?\"\n\"With only one drop of your blood, the flower of life will clone a person who looks the same as you, including all the physical features and genes. If so, can your parents identify which one of you was the original if the both of you stood in front of them at the same time?\"\n\"Of course I'm the real one!\"\n\"Yes, you are the real one. But who will be the one who looks the same as you? From bloodline, as he originates from you, he also originates from your parents!\"\nZhang Tie was then confused.\n\"As this technique would bring a huge impact to human ethics, it has been treated as a taboo. Actually, for many human races and living beings in the universe, they could not accept this.\"\n\"Wait, you mean a few races and living beings didn't think it was unacceptable. Don't they treat this as a taboo?\" Zhang Tie figured out something from Heller's words.\n\"The reason lies in the difference in understanding the essence of life among different races and living beings. If you think that this body which contains various elements, blood and fleshes is all of you, you will then take the cloning technique as a taboo. Whereas, if you take this body as a garment, will you treat those people who wear the same garment as you on the streets as taboo?\" Heller said meaningfully.\n\"You mean it's nothing to worry about that?\"\n\"I've told you that this depends on your understanding of life. If this body is all of you, then, will you think that you are different from those people with incomplete bodies essentially? When you see them wearing ragged clothes, do you think they are still as same as you? If this body is all of you, then, who's the one in the trouble-reappearance fruits? Is that just your illusion and conscious activity?\"\nHeller stared at Zhang Tie who was slightly frowning his forehead, \"Don't worry about that anymore. Everything in Castle of Black Iron now exists for you. You are the absolute ruler here. Therefore, you don't need to change your world outlook to adapt to the things here. On the contrary, they will adapt to your existence and viewpoint! If you feel that you could hardly accept them, you can't choose them. If you feel it is nothing different than a garment worship, it is a garment workshop!\"\nAfter thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie ridiculed it. 'What a bullsh*t taboo! I've not planned to do anything weird with it at all. I'd better consider something more realistic.\n\"Therefore, you asked me to bring in a piece of flesh of that huge deep-sea monster?\"\n\"Yes. That powerful mutated living being is very valuable. If you can afford it, with the help of the flower of life, you could constantly produce huge deep-sea monsters in the Castle of Black Iron.\"\n\"I don't think it is very powerful at all. The Star and Moon Sword Sage killed it in only a few minutes. Additionally, what do I need that disgusting thing for?\" Zhang Tie crooked his mouth.\n\"Based on my analysis of that piece of flesh, I find that the huge deep-sea monster was going through puberty. Such a creature has a great potential for growth. If it was an adult monster, it would be at least twice the size of the one you saw. If so, it would not be killed by people so easily as an adult deep-sea monster is one of the most powerful lords in the sea. What's more, as these cloned creatures sustain their lives by consuming your resources, they will be closely related to you and treat you as their owner.\"\n\"You mean I can treat these cloned things as my pets?\"\n\"As you will, they will definitely be much more docile than average pets.\" Heller confirmed.\nHearing this, Zhang Tie's heart raced. With his eyes fixed onto that seed of flower of life, Zhang Tie suddenly thought of something.\n\"You mean people have already mastered cloning technique before the catastrophe? Is this flower the product of human science at that age?\"\nHeller replied with a smile, \"Besides the human race, there were numerous living beings and species in the universe. The flower of life is just a living being. Humans always dreamt of conquering the whole world with high-end science. Did you ever imagine that some other races and living beings could conquer everything by planting various plants? Those plants were born to have all the functions required by the human race, which were more senior than the top achievements of human science.\" \"That's unbelievable!\"\n\"Fishes are born to swim and dive. However, how many difficulties have humans experienced diving deep into the sea? Birds are born to fly, however, how long had humans spent before being able to fly in the air? Treatment of water and soil pollution was a hot topic of human society even till the catastrophe, however, many plants are born to be able to purify water and revitalize the soil, which is much more powerful than human's scientific civilization. Humans are always dreaming about eternal prosperity through sunlight, however, plants are born with that ability.\"\n\"When did humans start transmitting messages through electromagnetic signals? All the plants in a forest naturally have the ability to transmit threatening warnings of invaders thousands of kilometers away through electromagnetic signals in a second. Receiving their signals, their partners would respond to it as soon as possible. Do you feel their instincts are strange? Do you feel that human civilization before the catastrophe is really that powerful? Living beings are born to have various strange instincts. Now that plants are born to have unimaginable super instincts, how could there not be a plant that could accomplish duplication and clone of life?\"\nHearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie touched his head. 'This steward not only dwarfs me in looks but also has excellent eloquence and wisdom.' Compared to Heller, Zhang Tie found that he was totally an innocent kid.\n\"Wait...\" Zhang Tie suddenly recalled that in many Chinese myths and legends, many people and living beings were bred in flowers. Are those myths and legends real?\" Zhang Tie then told Heller about these myths and legends.\n\"Human myths and legends contain many memories and knowledge from far ancient times. Of course, many of them were fully fabricated by descendants based on their imaginations. As for the myths and legends that you mentioned before, I could only tell you that some of the Chinese might have a flower of life on this star long time ago.\" Heller explained to Zhang Tie seriously.\n\"What? You mean there's another Castle of Black Iron?\" Zhang Tie was slightly stunned.\n\"There is only one Castle of Black Iron. But the flower of life is only a single member of a huge special plant population.\"\n\"Why could the small tree bear the seeds and fruits of the flower of life?\"\n\"Because the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree is the king of that huge special plant population, which carries the life potentials of all the members of this population. When the conditions became mature, the Manjusaka would release all the life potentials of those members. This is its fate and instinct. You can also take the flower of life as a subordinate of the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree.\"\n\"You mean the option 'Forming Special Seeds and Fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree' is essentially the reproductive channel through which the small tree releases the life potentials of that huge special plant population?\" Zhang Tie widened his eyes.\n\"You can take it as a contract or an appointment, based on which, you bring them into this world through your own efforts and they serve you as a payment instinctively. The most perfect and harmonious relationship in the universe is established on this reciprocity, cooperation, and interdependence.\" Heller confirmed.\n\"You mean, this space of the Castle of Black Iron might be a big botanical garden at the beginning which would bring various subordinate strange flowers and plants to that small tree while I am that diligent gardener who's selected to look after this botanical garden?\" Zhang Tie pointed at his own nose.\nZhang Tie was numb..." } ]
第十八章 看着眼前的那个菜单，张铁恍惚了一下，这最后的一个菜单，他一年多都没有翻动过了，除了第一次获得黑铁之堡的时候他粗略的看了看这个菜单，最后差点让他心脏休克之外，从在黑炎城开始，到此刻，这个菜单一直都在沉睡之中。 张铁还依稀记得，这个菜单里面可以让小树主动生成的那些“特殊种子与果实”所需要的大量的基本能量储备，功德值与灵气值曾经对他来说就是一个个天文数字。 难道此刻的自己已经可以让这个菜单里的某些特殊的种子与果实生长出来了吗？ 张铁问出了这个问题。 “黑铁之堡现在所积累的财富，已经可以让小树生成少数几种特殊的种子了！” 海勒肯定的回答到。 张铁当然知道海勒所指的财富，其实也就是黑铁之堡的那几个基本数据，张铁的手隔空一按，一个全新的画面就出现在他和海勒面前。 这个画面和张铁第一次打开这个菜单看到的一样，上面都是各种奇形怪状的种子和果实的旋转着的立体三维图案与图案下面的文字介绍，只不过与第一次不同的是，这一次，那些图案中的少数几个，已经处于鲜亮的激活状态之中。 海勒用手指了指那些处于激活状态的种子中的一个，张铁顺手一点，那颗种子的三维立体图案一下子变大，更清晰的出现在两个人面前。 ——一级生命之花所需种植面积：长宽各40弓。 ——这是奥秘之花，也是某些种族口中的禁忌之花，因为它洞悉与破解了生命存在的基础和奥秘，只需要一个还具有生命活性的细胞，生命之花就能克隆出同样的生命。 这颗所谓的生命之花的种子所需要的灵气值，基本能量储备和功德值的数量之大，简直出乎张铁的预料，这些文字中，所有的字张铁都认知，但凑在一起，张铁就有些摸不着头脑了。 “什么叫克隆？” 张铁问海勒。 “所谓的克隆，简单的说就是复制生命！” “复制生命？” 张铁被这个答案狠狠的震了一下。 “不错，是百分之百的把一个生命的肉体复制出来，如果你对大灾变之前人类的科技发展有着足够了解的话，那你就知道，其实在大灾变之前，人类已经掌握了克隆生命的技术，这是人类所掌握的关于生命物质领域最尖端的技术之一。” “那禁忌是什么意思？” “只需要你的一滴鲜血，生命之花就能克隆出一个长相和你一模一样，身体所有外部特征与基因都和你一模一样的人，那你说当那个人和你同时站在一起时，对你的父母来说，谁才是张铁呢？” “当然我才是张铁！” “你是张铁没错，那么那个和你一模一样的人是谁呢？ 从血缘上来说，那个人即来源于你，同样也来源于你的父母！” 海勒的问题把张铁问住了。 “所以，以人类的角度来说，这种技术会带来lun理上的巨大冲击，因此这种技术在人类世界从问世之日起，就变成一种禁忌，对宇宙中的很多种族和生命来说，的确无法接受这样的事情！” “等等，你的意思是说还有很多其他的种族与生命并不觉得这是什么难以理解的事情，他们难道不把这种事情看做是禁忌？” 张铁敏感的把握到了海勒话语中的另外一层意思。 “这种技术之所以成为禁忌，那在于不同种族与生命对生命本质理解的差别，如果你认为你的生命和你本人就是你的这具由各种物质元素和血肉与所组成的身体，那么，这的确是最大的禁忌，但是，如果你把你的这具身体看做是一件衣服，一个在物质世界让你存在的工具，你还觉得它是禁忌吗？ “那你的意思是这算不了什么？” “我说了，这完全取决于你对生命的认识，如果这个身体就是你，那么，你是否觉得那些身体残缺的人和你已经有本质的区别，或者你看到他们只是觉得他们的穿的衣服不小心弄破了，样子没有你的好看，本质上他们和你还是一样。 如果这个身体就是你，那么，在魂劫果中那个历经生死的人又是谁，或者，那只是完全存在于你脑海中的幻想与意识活动？” 海勒认真的看着微微皱着眉头思索着的张铁，“这个问题你并不用纠结，黑铁之堡所有在的一切，都是为了你而存在，你是这里的绝对统治者，所以这里的东西并不需要去改变和扭曲你的世界观来适应它，它们会来适应你的，你觉得它们应该是什么样子它们就会是什么样子！ 你觉得它们让你难以接受你可以不选择他们，如果你觉得这和一个成衣作坊差不多，那么，它们就是一个成衣作坊！” 张铁稍微思考了一阵就笑了起来，什么狗屁禁忌，自己又没打算用这个东西去做些什么奇怪的事情，想那么多干什么。 还是考虑点更现实的事情才是正理。 “所以你才叫我弄一块深海巨妖的血肉进来？” “不错，那种强大的变异生物很有价值，如果你能付得起相应的代价的话，只要有生命之花，你就可以源源不断的在黑铁之堡里面制造出深海巨妖这种生物！” “我看深海巨妖这种生物也不是很强大啊！ 那个什么星月剑圣一出手，几分钟就被*掉了，而且我要这些看起来恶心巴拉的东西干什么呢？” 张铁撇了撇嘴说道。 “根据我对你拿回来的那块血肉的分析，那头被*掉的深海巨妖才刚刚处于青年期，还没有彻底成年，这种生物的发展潜力和生长潜力都非常巨大，如果是一头成年期的深海巨妖，它的体型至少还要比你所看到的那头还要大一倍以上，而且也不会这么容易被人干掉，成年的深海巨妖是海洋中最强大的霸主之一，更重要的是，因为这种在黑铁之堡中被克隆出来的生物都是通过消耗你为它们提供的资源才得以拥有生命的，它们的存在和你有着千丝万缕的联系，所以这些克隆生物天生就会对你亲近无比，会把你视为它们理所当然的主宰者！” “你是说我可以把这些被生命之花复制出来的东西当做宠物？” “只要你愿意，它们绝对会比宠物听话一万倍！” 海勒肯定的说道。 张铁的小心肝一下子蹦蹦蹦的跳了起来，海勒的话有一股奇异的魔力，张铁看着自己面前那颗生命之花的种子，正觉得有些意动，突然又想到了一个问题。 “你刚刚说人类的科技在大灾变之前已经掌握了克隆技术，那么，难道这个生命之花就是人类科技的产物？” 海勒笑了起来，“除了人类之外，宇宙中各种生命和物种存在的数量有千千万万，生命之花就是这其中的一种生物，曾经的人类梦想通过科技征服世界，你是否想过，这个宇宙中还有其他的种族和生命，他们通过栽种到地下的各种植物就能征服一切，那些植物的本能就完全拥有他们需要的所有功能，而且那些功能比人类用科技创造出来的成果更加的完美，人类用科技千辛万苦才能达到的目的，对有的生物和种族来说就完全是它们与生俱来的本能！” 鸟天生就会飞，人类发明飞行器又经历了多久？ 治理水土污染一直到大灾变之前都是人类社会重要的科技议题，但是很多植物天生就能净化水质和让土壤恢复活力，比人类的科技文明强大千百倍，人类一直梦想利用阳光来实现人类永久繁荣和生存的梦想，但这个问题所有能进行光合作用的植物从生下来就能做到了。” “人类掌握利用电磁信号传递信息是什么时候的事情？ 而一座森林里所有的植物天生就能通过电磁信号把能威胁到它们的入侵者的信号瞬息就传播到数千公里之外，让所有的同类植物都知道，从而做出一些相应的反应。 你觉得它们的本能奇怪吗？ 海勒的话让张铁摸了摸自己的脑袋，黑铁之堡的这个管家，不仅长得可以让别人自惭形秽，就是口才和智慧在需要的时候同样可以让人相形见拙，与海勒一比，张铁才发现自己的知识完全就像是一个幼儿园的小朋友。 等等，张铁脑子里灵光一闪，突然想到了什么，那是华族中的神话，在华族中的很多神话和传说中，许多人和生物就是从花朵里面化生孕育出来的，根本没经过娘胎，难道那些神话和传说并不完全都是假的？ 张铁立刻就把自己知道的几个神话传说说了出来。 “人类的神话和传说中有很多来自远古的记忆和知识的传承，当然，也有很多完全是根据后人的想象杜撰编造出来的，根据你刚刚所说的那些神话传说，我只能告诉你，生存在这个星球上的华族中的某些人有可能在很久以前拥有过一颗生命之花！” 海勒认真的对张铁说道。 “怎么？ 难道还有另外一个黑铁之堡？” 张铁微微一惊。 “黑铁之堡是唯一的，但是生命之花却是一个庞大的特殊植物种族中的一员，因此，这个宇宙中存在的生命之花肯定不止一朵！” “那为什么小树可以结出生命之花的种子和果实？” “因为曼殊沙华宝树就是那个庞大特殊的植物种族中的王者，这个王者拥有那个庞大特殊的植物种族中所有成员的生命烙印，在条件成熟的时候，曼殊沙华宝树就能把它所拥有的那些生命烙印释放出来，这是它的宿命与本能，你可以把生命之花看做是曼殊沙华宝树这个王者的臣民与下属！” “所以，‘曼殊沙华因缘万果宝树特殊种子与果实生成’这个菜单功能本质上就是让小树释放出那个庞大特殊的植物种族生命烙印的引产通道？” 张铁瞪大了眼睛。 “你可以把它看做是一个契约和协议，一个你通过自己的努力和付出把它们带来这个世界上，而它们通过自己的本能为你服务的约定，宇宙中最完美最和谐的关系都是建立在这种互惠互利相互合作与依赖的基础之上的！” 海勒坦然的承认道。 “那么，这个空间，也就是黑铁之堡，最早有可能就是一个为那颗小树带来的各个臣民，那个奇怪的植物种族中各种奇怪的花花草草准备的大植物园？ 而我，就是一个恰巧被选中的照顾这个植物园的勤劳的园丁？” 张铁指着自己的鼻子问道。
Chapter 397: Flower of Life Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost Gazing at the last option for a while, Zhang Tie realized that he hadn't touched it for over a year. After skimming over this option when he obtained the Castle of Black Iron at the beginning, which almost made him suffer from a heart attack due to excitement, Zhang Tie had not checked this option at all. Zhang Tie could still remember the astronomical figures of basic energy storage, merit values and aura values required by those "special seeds and fruits". "Am I able to grow some special seeds and fruits now?" Zhang Tie asked. "The wealth accumulated in Castle of Black Iron has been able to grow a few special seeds on the small tree." Heller confirmed. "Why not give it a look." Of course, Zhang Tie knew what the word 'wealth' meant coming from Heller's mouth. It actually referred to those basic data. Zhang Tie then pressed the last option in the air before seeing a wholly new interface. Being the same same as the first time Zhang Tie opened the option, there were various rotating three-dimensional patterns and descriptions of strange seeds and fruits on the interface. The only difference was that a few of those patterns were bright as they were activated. Heller then pointed at one of those activated seeds. Zhang Tie then touched its pattern. In a split second, its three-dimensional pattern became enlarged and clearer. ——Seed of Flower of Life ——Planting Area for LV 1 Flower of Life: A Square with a side length of 66 m. ——Flower of Secret, also the flower of taboo which was usually mentioned by some human clans. It figured out the fundamental secrets of the existence of life. With one bioactive cell, the flower of life could clone another living being. The seed of this flower of life required astronomical amounts of aura values, basic energy storage and merit values which were out of Zhang Tie's imagination. "What's clone?" Zhang Tie asked Heller. "Simply put, a clone is a duplicate of another living being." "Duplicate a life?" Zhang Tie was shocked by this answer greatly. "That's it. It could duplicate a new life, including flesh and blood. If you have learned a lot about the scientific development of mankind before the catastrophe, you would know that people have already mastered the technology of cloning technique before the catastrophe. It's one of the most high-end techniques that people have mastered during that age." "What do you mean by taboo?" "With only one drop of your blood, the flower of life will clone a person who looks the same as you, including all the physical features and genes. If so, can your parents identify which one of you was the original if the both of you stood in front of them at the same time?" "Of course I'm the real one!" "Yes, you are the real one. But who will be the one who looks the same as you? From bloodline, as he originates from you, he also originates from your parents!" Zhang Tie was then confused. "As this technique would bring a huge impact to human ethics, it has been treated as a taboo. Actually, for many human races and living beings in the universe, they could not accept this." "Wait, you mean a few races and living beings didn't think it was unacceptable. Don't they treat this as a taboo?" Zhang Tie figured out something from Heller's words. "The reason lies in the difference in understanding the essence of life among different races and living beings. If you think that this body which contains various elements, blood and fleshes is all of you, you will then take the cloning technique as a taboo. Whereas, if you take this body as a garment, will you treat those people who wear the same garment as you on the streets as taboo?" Heller said meaningfully. "You mean it's nothing to worry about that?" "I've told you that this depends on your understanding of life. If this body is all of you, then, will you think that you are different from those people with incomplete bodies essentially? When you see them wearing ragged clothes, do you think they are still as same as you? If this body is all of you, then, who's the one in the trouble-reappearance fruits? Is that just your illusion and conscious activity?" Heller stared at Zhang Tie who was slightly frowning his forehead, "Don't worry about that anymore. Everything in Castle of Black Iron now exists for you. You are the absolute ruler here. Therefore, you don't need to change your world outlook to adapt to the things here. On the contrary, they will adapt to your existence and viewpoint! If you feel that you could hardly accept them, you can't choose them. If you feel it is nothing different than a garment worship, it is a garment workshop!" After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie ridiculed it. 'What a bullsh*t taboo! I've not planned to do anything weird with it at all. I'd better consider something more realistic. "Therefore, you asked me to bring in a piece of flesh of that huge deep-sea monster?" "Yes. That powerful mutated living being is very valuable. If you can afford it, with the help of the flower of life, you could constantly produce huge deep-sea monsters in the Castle of Black Iron." "I don't think it is very powerful at all. The Star and Moon Sword Sage killed it in only a few minutes. Additionally, what do I need that disgusting thing for?" Zhang Tie crooked his mouth. "Based on my analysis of that piece of flesh, I find that the huge deep-sea monster was going through puberty. Such a creature has a great potential for growth. If it was an adult monster, it would be at least twice the size of the one you saw. If so, it would not be killed by people so easily as an adult deep-sea monster is one of the most powerful lords in the sea. What's more, as these cloned creatures sustain their lives by consuming your resources, they will be closely related to you and treat you as their owner." "You mean I can treat these cloned things as my pets?" "As you will, they will definitely be much more docile than average pets." Heller confirmed. Hearing this, Zhang Tie's heart raced. With his eyes fixed onto that seed of flower of life, Zhang Tie suddenly thought of something. "You mean people have already mastered cloning technique before the catastrophe? Is this flower the product of human science at that age?" Heller replied with a smile, "Besides the human race, there were numerous living beings and species in the universe. The flower of life is just a living being. Humans always dreamt of conquering the whole world with high-end science. Did you ever imagine that some other races and living beings could conquer everything by planting various plants?

"Because the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree is the king of that huge special plant population, which carries the life potentials of all the members of this population. When the conditions became mature, the Manjusaka would release all the life potentials of those members. This is its fate and instinct. You can also take the flower of life as a subordinate of the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree." "You mean the option 'Forming Special Seeds and Fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree' is essentially the reproductive channel through which the small tree releases the life potentials of that huge special plant population?" Zhang Tie widened his eyes. "You can take it as a contract or an appointment, based on which, you bring them into this world through your own efforts and they serve you as a payment instinctively. The most perfect and harmonious relationship in the universe is established on this reciprocity, cooperation, and interdependence." Heller confirmed. "You mean, this space of the Castle of Black Iron might be a big botanical garden at the beginning which would bring various subordinate strange flowers and plants to that small tree while I am that diligent gardener who's selected to look after this botanical garden?" Zhang Tie pointed at his own nose. Zhang Tie was numb...

He slowly turned his head to look at Miao Yi.\n“Speak! Who gave you the order??” Miao Yi asked in a cold tone, his hand holding the spear penetrating the other man.\nEven an ant desires to live, and in this situation Zhang Shucheng would naturally reach for the faintest trace of hope. He anxiously replied, as his breath became more hurried, “It was Xiong Xiao, I was ordered by Mountain Chieftain Xiong Xiao.”\n“I’ve long since suspected it was him, but we barely interacted the few times I met him. We hardly ever talked, and shouldn’t bear any resentment towards each other. Why is he targeting me?”\n“I don’t know, I really don’t know…. Miao Yi, spare me, please spare me!”\n“Coming this far, you still hide the truth?”\n“I really don’t know, he didn’t tell me, I wish to know why he’s targeting you, too. Spare me, I beg you….”\nPu! Abruptly, Miao Yi retracted his spear, and sent Zhang Shucheng flying with a kick. At the same time, the silver spear in his hand flew out with momentum, impaling Zhang Shucheng’s head and nailing him to a stone pillar under the temple’s eaves.\nMiao Yi walked towards the stone pillar, reached out and grabbed the end of the spear, and simply said, “Your wounds are too dire to be saved, so I might as well just give you a swift end!”\nThe people inside the temple looked at one another.\nWith a wave of his hand, Miao Yi pulled the spear out. Zhang Shucheng’s corpse slowly slid down and slumped to the ground. Half his body still hung under the stone path, the blood under the eaves flowing away along with the running water.\nThe spear was slowly extended out of the eaves, allowing the trickling rainwater to wash away the blood staining it. As lightning flashed, the silver spear gleamed coldly.\nMiao Yi looked at the spear being cleansed by the rainwater, his face expressionless. He was contemplating the source of the problem. He really couldn’t understand why Xiong Xiao wanted him dead. Meeting someone with such a position and cultivation, and then to be targeted by him—how should he proceed from now on?\nIt was late at night, and the booming sounds of rolling thunder in the night sky began to slowly subside until all was utterly silent. Even the noise from the torrential pouring rain began to quiet down. In the hall, the billowing flame started to stabilize, eventually being left with only the sound of water dripping from the eaves outside.\nThe dark clouds in the night sky slowly dispersed, and the sound of bugs started to echo from the surroundings. From the back of the dark clouds, the moon had revealed its timid face. It shone on Miao Yi’s face, and his previously motionless self moved slightly.\nThe rain stopped? Under the eaves, Miao Yi snapped out of his contemplation. He retracted his spear and lifted his head to look at the bright, flawless moon in the night sky.\nSuddenly, a cold piercing aura slowly emanated from the courtyard, and the bug cries that resounded moments ago abruptly came to a halt. The horses tied at the corridor were nervously moving about, as if they were afraid.\nHaving noticed something was off, Miao Yi hastily focused his transcendence energy to his eyes. Surveying the surroundings with his transcendence vision, he instantly saw an obscure black fog swaying in the middle of the courtyard.\nGhost aura!\nMiao Yi was startled. Thinking back on what was lurking around these parts, he cursed inwardly, while thinking, he couldn’t be this unlucky, could he? Having just killed off the two “accomplices”, the thing decides to show up now?\nHe wanted to run away at that moment, but realizing there were still people inside, he hastily dashed back. “The rain has stopped, you all should quickly leave this place!”\nUnexpectedly, he was left speechless when he saw that group of people, including the Lady Boss, were looking at him in trepidation. They bunched together, trembling in fear and cautiously said, “Great Immortal, please don’t kill us.”\n“Why would I kill you all for no reason? I still haven’t thanked you for tipping me off.” Miao Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but now was not the time for idle chatter. He immediately shouted, “There might be something foul around here, you all should leave quickly.”\nLike a poor defenseless girl, the Lady Boss pinched her skirt anxiously, and meekly asked, “What sort of foul thing?”\nMiao Yi stared at her and said, “Ghosts!”\nThe group was apparently shocked. The Lady Boss’s reaction was even more exaggerated; with both her hands covering her mouth, as though she was a helpless and terrified girl, she pleaded, “Is what Great Immortal said true? But this is the wilderness, and after such a heavy downpour, the mountain paths are sure to be muddy. That will make it even more difficult to find our way in this darkness!”\nMiao Yi felt a sense of resignation towards her. At this point in time, she was scared witless, yet she could still afford to be troubled over walking in the rain and dark.\nHe couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, “Leave everything unnecessary behind, only carry your important belongings with you. There are six of us including myself, and there are four horses. You can forget about the one carrying the luggage, and as for the remaining three, we will ride each one in pairs. Before all else, we must leave this place immediately.”\n“Great Immortal is right, but…..” The Lady Boss knitted her brows, and said in hesitation, “But I am already promised to someone, I can’t be so close to another man, let alone share a horse together. If word of this got out, how will I face the public?”\nMiao Yi was speechless, and couldn’t help scrutinizing her. Reflecting on how enticing her attire was, she should be braver than even a cavewoman, yet she still had the gall to say she was promised to someone—it was hard to imagine where on earth her husband could go to cry.\nObviously, these were thoughts he kept to himself. Dragging her outside, he straight up placed one of the reins in her hands, and exclaimed, “You ride one on your own, my leg power is quite strong, so I won’t be any slower than you all. Let’s go!’\n“But I don’t know how to ride a horse, what if I fall down?” the Lady Boss said meekly, her subordinates had all come outside as well.\nNow that the gloomy clouds had already completely dispersed from the night sky, the bright moon was shining upon the vast land.\nMiao Yi was once again rendered speechless, he could already feel the Yin energy within the whole temple slowly becoming heavier under the light of the moon. He helplessly shook his head and said, “Then pick someone that you fancy to ride with you! Our first priority is to leave this place, don’t think too deeply about anything else.”\nThe Lady Boss reluctantly replied with an “Oh”, cast a glance at him and said, “Then it’s best if I ride with Great Immortal! I am timid, and I will feel safe if Great Immortal is with me.”\nWhen he heard this, Miao Yi who was holding the reins, subconsciously leaned against the saddle in order to support himself. Just now she was going on about how it was inconvenient for her to ride with another man since she was already promised to someone, and moments after, she decides to come at him. Miao Yi thought to himself, I am the one who should be worried about my sanctity here.\nActually, he now had some reservations—he had yet to ride a horse with a woman before, especially not one so beautiful.\nThe Lady Boss saw him pretending to steady himself with the saddle, and couldn’t help rolling her eyes, wondering whether she was really that scary? Normal men couldn’t even hope for this, and he was pretending to be all righteous.\nMiao Yi did not think that now was the time to worry about these trivial matters, so he decisively untied the other two reins to pass to the other four, and took over the one from the Lady Boss. He anxiously said, “Then let it be so! Everyone follow my earlier instructions, we must quickly leave this place.”\nThe four of them looked at the Lady Boss in puzzlement, as if asking, Lady Boss are you sure about this, sharing a steed with him?\nThe Lady Boss obviously knew what the four of them were thinking. She quickly glared at them, pointing towards the figure currently pulling a horse down the stairs. Behind Miao Yi’s back, she opened her mouth and made an ‘O’ shape. The meaning was clear—she was messing with him.\nThen immediately after, as though she were a feeble girl, the Lady Boss sheepishly followed after Miao Yi." } ]
第五十一章 “救我！” 张树成面对着殿外的风雨闪电，满脸惊恐，一点点地艰难扭头看向苗毅。 谁指使你的？” 苗毅单臂擒枪，穿刺着对方冷冷问道。 蝼蚁尚且贪生，到了这个地步的张树成自然是能抓住一丝希望就抓住一丝希望，气息急促地说道：“是熊啸，是山主熊啸让我做的。” “我早就怀疑是他，可我和他见面也不过才几次，话都没说过几句，素无恩怨，他为什么要这样对我？” “我不知道，我真的不知道…苗毅，救救我，快救救我！” “到了这个地步还敢隐瞒？” “我真的不知道，他没有告诉我，我也很想知道他为什么要针对你。 苗毅突然拔枪，一脚将张树成踹飞了出去，同时手中银枪爆射而出，穿破了对方的脑袋，直接将张树成给钉在了寺庙屋檐下的石柱上。 苗毅慢步走到了石柱旁，伸手握住了枪尾，淡然道：“你那伤，我救不了，不如给你个痛快！” 寺庙内的几人面面相觑。 握住枪尾的手一挥，把枪给拔了出来，张树成的尸体也滑落歪倒在地，半边身子挂在石廊下，屋檐下的流水带着鲜血流走。 枪慢慢伸出了屋檐，让屋檐下滑落的雨水冲洗着枪身上的血迹，电光闪闪下，银枪亦是寒光耀眼。 苗毅面无表情地注视着雨水下冲刷的枪，他在想到底是哪里出了问题，他真的想不通熊啸为什么要杀自己，遇上这种地位和修为的人想对付自己，自己今后该怎么办？ 深夜，滚荡在夜空中的雷霆声渐渐微弱偶尔，直至没了动静，风雨交加的急骤声也开始渐渐减弱，大殿内摇摆不定的火苗开始稳住，到最后天地间就只能听到外面屋檐下的滴滴答答声。 夜空的乌云渐渐荡开，四周的虫鸣声开始此起彼伏，月亮从乌云后面半露出了害羞的脸庞，月光照在了苗毅的脸上，让静默的他微微一动。 雨停了？ 屋檐下的苗毅从思索中回过神来，收枪抬头，看向夜空的皎洁明月。 然而却有一股刺骨的寒意渐渐弥漫在寺院之中，四周刚叫了没多久的虫鸣声也戛然而止，拴在院廊下的马匹也在不安地挤挤散散，貌似很害怕的样子。 苗毅察觉到了不寻常的异样，迅速施法于眼，睁开法眼扫视四周，立刻见到袅袅黑雾徘徊在寺院之中。 鬼气！ 苗毅心中一凛，联想到了这一带有什么东西，暗道糟糕，不会这么倒霉吧？ 刚杀掉了两个‘帮手’，那玩意就要出现？ 他本想立刻离开，可想到里面还有几个人，迅速跑了进去，“雨停了，你们赶快离开这里吧！” 结果让他无语的是，一伙人，包括老板娘在内，都很害怕地看着他，挤在一起战战兢兢道：“大仙，不要杀我们。” 感谢你们提醒还来不及。” 苗毅哭笑不得，现在也不是废话的时候，直接吓唬道：“这里可能有一些不干净的东西，你们快走。” 老板娘小女人似的，双手食指搅动着裙纱，弱弱问道：“什么不干净的东西？” 苗毅瞪眼道：“鬼！” 几人貌似吓了一跳，老板娘更是夸张，吓得双手捂住了嘴巴，一脸小女子好害怕的样子问道：“大仙说的都是真的吗？ 可这荒郊野外的，加上下过一场大雨，山路泥泞，我们摸黑也不好走啊！” 苗毅服了她，都到了这个时候，都吓成了这样，还能想到下了雨天黑路不好走。 懒得理她，一把抓住了她的手往外拖去，“其它乱七八糟的东西别要了，要紧的东西随身带上，大家连我在内刚好六人，这里有四匹马，那匹驮了货物的不用管了，剩下的三匹，每两人乘坐一匹，先尽快离开这里再说。” “大仙说的在理，可……”老板娘黛眉皱了皱，犹犹豫豫道：“可我是清白人家的妇人，如何好同其他男人贴身同骑，传出去了，我还要不要做人了？” 苗毅无语，忍不住上下打量了她一眼，心想就你穿得如此暴露的样子，比窑子里的窑姐还大胆，还清白人家的妇人，不知你家男人该到哪哭去。 当然，这话他就是放在心里想了想，把她拖到外面，直接把一根缰绳塞到了她的手中，道：“你单独骑上一匹，我多少还算有些脚力，速度不会比你们慢，快走吧！” “可我不会骑马，摔下来怎么办？” 老板娘弱弱道，她那帮手下也已经涌了出来。 此时天空的乌云已经彻底退场，皎洁的月光照耀苍茫大地。 苗毅看着她又是一阵无语，已经隐隐感受到整座寺院在月光的蒸发下，阴气越来越重了，遂无力摇头道：“那你挑个顺眼的和你共乘一骑吧！ 总之先离开这里再说，其他的暂时就不要想那么多了。” 老板娘勉为其难的‘哦’了声，瞟了他一眼道：“那我还是同大仙共乘一骑吧！ 我胆小，跟着大仙有安全感。” 此话一出，牵着缰绳的苗毅下意识扶住马鞍站稳了，对方刚才还说自己是清白人家的妇人不好同其他男人贴身同骑，转眼就直接挑到他身上来了，苗毅心想，我还担心传出去我的清白不保呢。 其实他现在倒有点不好意思，还没和女人干过同乘一骑的事，尤其是这么漂亮的女人。 老板娘看到他身形虚晃扶鞍站好的样子，忍不住翻了个白眼，心想老娘有那么可怕吗？ 别的男人想求还求不到，装什么正经。 苗毅觉得现在不是拘于小节的时候，果断把解开的两副缰绳扔给了另四人，又拉过老板娘手中的，急声道：“就这样吧！ 大家按我刚才说的做，快点离开这里。” 那四人有些神情怪异的看着老板娘，貌似在问，老板娘你确定要这么做、和他共乘一骑？ 老板娘显然知道他们四个想的是什么，迅速瞪了四人一眼，指了指牵马下台阶的苗毅后背，张嘴做出口型，依稀能辨认出在说，逗他玩玩。 随后一付弱女子模样，胆怯怯地跟在苗毅后面。
Chapter 51: Mystic Arts Temple (6) “Spare me!” Zhang Shucheng was facing the storm outside, his face full of terror. He slowly turned his head to look at Miao Yi. “Speak! Who gave you the order??” Miao Yi asked in a cold tone, his hand holding the spear penetrating the other man. Even an ant desires to live, and in this situation Zhang Shucheng would naturally reach for the faintest trace of hope. He anxiously replied, as his breath became more hurried, “It was Xiong Xiao, I was ordered by Mountain Chieftain Xiong Xiao.” “I’ve long since suspected it was him, but we barely interacted the few times I met him. We hardly ever talked, and shouldn’t bear any resentment towards each other. Why is he targeting me?” “I don’t know, I really don’t know…. Miao Yi, spare me, please spare me!” “Coming this far, you still hide the truth?” “I really don’t know, he didn’t tell me, I wish to know why he’s targeting you, too. Spare me, I beg you….” Pu! Abruptly, Miao Yi retracted his spear, and sent Zhang Shucheng flying with a kick. At the same time, the silver spear in his hand flew out with momentum, impaling Zhang Shucheng’s head and nailing him to a stone pillar under the temple’s eaves. Miao Yi walked towards the stone pillar, reached out and grabbed the end of the spear, and simply said, “Your wounds are too dire to be saved, so I might as well just give you a swift end!” The people inside the temple looked at one another. With a wave of his hand, Miao Yi pulled the spear out. Zhang Shucheng’s corpse slowly slid down and slumped to the ground. Half his body still hung under the stone path, the blood under the eaves flowing away along with the running water. The spear was slowly extended out of the eaves, allowing the trickling rainwater to wash away the blood staining it. As lightning flashed, the silver spear gleamed coldly. Miao Yi looked at the spear being cleansed by the rainwater, his face expressionless. He was contemplating the source of the problem. He really couldn’t understand why Xiong Xiao wanted him dead. Meeting someone with such a position and cultivation, and then to be targeted by him—how should he proceed from now on? It was late at night, and the booming sounds of rolling thunder in the night sky began to slowly subside until all was utterly silent. Even the noise from the torrential pouring rain began to quiet down. In the hall, the billowing flame started to stabilize, eventually being left with only the sound of water dripping from the eaves outside. The dark clouds in the night sky slowly dispersed, and the sound of bugs started to echo from the surroundings. From the back of the dark clouds, the moon had revealed its timid face. It shone on Miao Yi’s face, and his previously motionless self moved slightly. The rain stopped? Under the eaves, Miao Yi snapped out of his contemplation. He retracted his spear and lifted his head to look at the bright, flawless moon in the night sky. Suddenly, a cold piercing aura slowly emanated from the courtyard, and the bug cries that resounded moments ago abruptly came to a halt. The horses tied at the corridor were nervously moving about, as if they were afraid. Having noticed something was off, Miao Yi hastily focused his transcendence energy to his eyes. Surveying the surroundings with his transcendence vision, he instantly saw an obscure black fog swaying in the middle of the courtyard. Ghost aura! Miao Yi was startled. Thinking back on what was lurking around these parts, he cursed inwardly, while thinking, he couldn’t be this unlucky, could he? Having just killed off the two “accomplices”, the thing decides to show up now?

Needless to say, the lowly scarlet profound flame or even the normal purple profound flame would not be able to harm him one bit. However, when this scarlet flame approached, he felt a burning sensation that caused his heart to palpitate.\nWhen he had realized this, the flame was already close to him and was no longer avoidable. Duke Hui Ye instantly gathered his profound energy at his right arm, igniting the devil flame on his palm and attacked the approaching scarlet flame with a smashing fist.\nWith a dull rumbling noise, the phoenix flame was deflected away hurriedly by Duke Hui Ye and landed on the ground to his right. When the flame extinguished, a one and a half meter radius of the ground sunk slightly due to being burnt. Although the expression of pain that flashed past Duke Hui Ye’s face was short, it was sufficient for the majority of the people to see it clearly. Among his five fingers, three of them had been burnt red.\nEverybody had their mouth agape in shock as they stared dumbfoundedly at Duke Hui Ye’s slightly burnt fingers and the slightly sunken floor on his right… This was the Duke Hui Ye who possessed the bloodline of the Golden Crow and the floor was made of the resistant black profound jade that even a mid-stage Overlord would have trouble destroying.\n“What… What happened? Wasn’t that the lowly scarlet profound flame, how can it have such a huge power!”\n“Could it be that Yun Che’s flame is not actually a normal profound flame?”\n“Duke Hui Ye’s hand seemed to be burnt as well… Duke Hui Ye’s flame is a mixture of the Golden Crow’s and the Fallen Devil Flame, and he actually got burnt by the scarlet profound flame that Yun Che casually released. This, this, this… Could it be possible that Yun Che’s flame was stronger than Duke Hui Ye’s Golden Crow Flame?”\nThe entire hall now was in a great commotion and even Yun Qinghong’s face revealed shock. There were also significant changes in Little Demon Empress’ expression as she sat on her throne, because in the instant Yun Che had released his flames, she felt the clear sensation of her own Golden Crow Flame intensely throbbing.\nCould it be that the flame he used was also some sort of primordial divine flame that was on the same level as the Golden Crow Flame?\nYun Che mocked, “You’re so pathetic even when receiving the scarlet flame that in your own words are not even considered a joke. Your ability to scold yourself indirectly is indeed high level!”\nDuke Hui Ye looked at his hand as his expression darkened, laughing coldly, “With just you, you think you’re fit to mock me? Do you really think that with your lowly profound flame, you can challenge this duke!”\nDuke Hui Ye took a step forward quickly, waving both his hands. Instantly, the crimson black devil flame ignited around him, turning the entire sky crimson black. An eerie aura that seemed as though it came straight from the depths of hell filled the entire hall. Following Duke Hui Ye’s hand sign, all the crimson-black devil flames rushed towards Yun Che as though they were a beast that had just been awakened.\nYun Che quickly retreated, ignited Phoenix Flames on his body, and attacked the sky filled with Devil Flames with a “Burning Field”.\nBoom!\nThe crimson-black Devil Flame and the scarlet Phoenix Flame collided in midair, exploding at the same time. In that instant, the sparks nearly blinded most of the audience and the roof of the originally elegant hall was now completely covered in flames. The exploding crimson-black flames and scarlet flames were like two ferocious tigers and amidst the shocking roars of the flames, they were burning one another, devouring one another… The scarlet flame devoured the black flames, and the black flames burnt the scarlet flames. The scarlet flames were unable to overcome the seal of the black flames, and the black flames were unable to overcome the resistance of the scarlet flames… The two were at a counterbalance with one another. “Wha… aaaatttttttt!”\nDuke Hui Ye’s pupils contracted in an instant as he could never imagine, nor would he accept the flame that he claimed to be the strongest in the world was equal with the flames released by someone two entire profound realms below him.\nDuke Hui Ye roared out in near utter perturbation as he stared widely. The crimson-black flames on him suddenly soared and became more intense...\nBooom!!! Like two huge waves violently colliding with each other, a sea of flames replaced all the air in the hall, which was exhausted in an instant. The patriarchs of the Twelve Families hastily went forward to confine the flames within the arena, and the entire arena was also transformed into a world of flames. The scarlet flames and the crimson-black flames collided against one another violently, and only after several breaths of time had passed did they gradually extinguish.\nIn the arena where the flames had extinguished, Duke Hui Ye and Yun Che stood at the east and west wings respectively. Yun Che’s clothes were torn apart at various spots and he was smiling slightly, whereas Duke Hui Ye looked obviously much more pathetic. Not only were most of his clothes burnt, even much of his hair had been burnt. Although he did not seem to suffer any obvious burns, his face was as black as charcoal.\nEveryone held their breaths… The violent clash of flames between the two had turned out to be a draw!\nWouldn’t that mean, that in terms of flames, Yun Che was far superior than Duke Hui Ye?!!\nThe level of the flames he used would be far superior than Duke Hui Ye’s Golden Crow Flames which had been mixed with the Fallen Flame Devil Arts!\n“This… This is impossible…” Those powerhouses from the Demon Imperial City who knew how scary Duke Huai Palace’s flames all stared widely while uttered in complete shock.\nLittle Demon Empress’s petite body moved forward slightly as a curious glow flashed past the depths of her eyes. After staring at Yun Che for some time, she finally muttered to herself, “Phoenix Flames?”\nBecause she saw the instant flashing of a Phoenix’s silhouette when Yun Che released Phoenix Flame Sears the Heavens.\n“Your Duke Huai Palace’s flames… are only so-so!” Yun Che laughed.\nThis ridicule caused Duke Hui Ye’s face to contort, as he was unable to utter out even one phrase in retaliation. Previously, he had shouted that Duke Huai Palace’s flames were the strongest flames under the Golden Crow’s Record of the Burning World. But in the blink of an eye, he had slapped himself on the face and it was just as Yun Che had mentioned… he slapped his own mouth himself.\nEven though Duke Hui Ye was about to explode with anger, his face had instead revealed a cold smile, “Yun Che, you really gave this duke a pleasant surprise. This duke admits that he has been looking down on you too much. But just now, that is probably your limit right? It’s such a pity that I have only used fifty percent of my strength just now!”\n“In front of this duke, you are still just trash!”\nDuke Hui Ye howled, the faint bloodline of the Golden Crow had been ignited to its maximum within him, as a two foot-long black shortsword appeared in his hands. When the shortsword appeared, the Golden Crow Flames swayed vigorously before quickly growing more intense until the color of the crimson-black flames became similar to that of freshly dried blood.\nOn the shortsword, there were also lines and lines of uniform flashing red markings.\nYun Che’s expression became serious as the frightening aura coming from Duke Hui Ye had… grown by at least double compared to just now!\n“Is that sword… the legendary Obsidian Devil Sword?”\n“That shape, that aura, is the same as the rumors. That must be it!”\n“Duke Hui Ye’s aura had become so much stronger as compared to just now… Sss, Duke Huai Palace’s profound arts are more scary than what the rumors say! It looks like it’s over for Yun Che this time.”\n“The fact that he was able to force Duke Hui Ye to use the Obsidian Devil Sword, Yun Che can definitely lose with pride… I’m just afraid that Duke Hui Ye might cripple Yun Che in his rage.”\nYun Qinghong’s voice suddenly rang in Yun Che’s ears, “The black shortsword in his hands is the Obsidian Devil Sword. It is a sword left behind by the founders of the ancient clan that created the Fallen Flame Devil Arts. It possesses a ton of strong fiendish powers and releasing the Fallen Flame Devil Art through this shortsword would largely increase the intensity of the flame… You must be careful! Duke Hui Ye obviously wants to kill you. If you’re not certain you can win, don’t act tough. Your life is the most important!” Yun Che, “...”\nThe crimson-black flames on Duke Hui Ye burned intensely and the strong devil’s aura was accompanied by the cries of ghosts; it was as though there were countless souls being burnt in that moment. The strength of the flame’s aura was enough to move the strongest experts in Illusory Demon Realm… Being able to reach such a level even before he was thirty, Duke Hui Ye’s future was limitless.\n“This is this duke’s true strength.”\nDuke Hui Ye bathed in the flames, his hair flying and his face pitch-black due to the flame. He looked as though he was an evil god of devils that had walked out from the depths of hell. He looked at the flame in his hands, felt his aura, and had a satisfied expression. At this instant, he felt that he could now easily control everything… even Yun Che’s fate.\n“Let this duke see how long you can struggle in the face of his full strength.”\nOnce he finished speaking, the Obsidian Devil Sword stabbed out suddenly… Obviously, Duke Hui Ye wanted to eliminate any chance where Yun Che could surrender. Even though he had the absolute confidence of defeating Yun Che, Duke Hui Ye was now completely enraged after being forced to use his full strength with his Obsidian Devil Sword, having suffered a disadvantage when competing with flames by this person, whom he was looking down previously. Even if Duke Huai had not instructed him earlier, he was still determined to kill Yun Che.\nA crimson-black fire wave rushed towards Yun Che following the slash of the Obsidian Devil Sword, but Yun Che did not avoid nor retreat. A Phoenix Flame that was accompanied by the cry of the Phoenix attacked it head on.\n“Phoenix Break!”\nPhoenix Break was not a simple Phoenix Flame attack; it also had a strong destructive power. However, because it was not used with a heavy sword, its power was far weaker than it should have been. When it collided with the Devil Flame, it slowed down the rush of the Devil Flame, but following a nasty cry, the Devil Flame suddenly attacked and quickly consumed the Phoenix Flame. When the Phoenix Flame had completely disappeared, the Devil Flame was only weakened by thirty percent, and without any other obstruction, it rushed straight towards Yun Che, striking his body.\nBoom!\nWhen the Devil Flame exploded, the power of destruction and corrosion was frantically released. In the next instant, Yun Che’s figure flew far away from among the exploding Devil Flame. Duke Hui Ye locked onto Yun Che who was in midair and laughed a little playfully, “You’re not bad at escaping, but let this duke see how you’re going to escape this time!”\nHis hand sign changed and the markings on the Obsidian Devil Sword became even more eye-catching. Below Yun Che, the willfully burning crimson-black Devil Flame suddenly distorted intensely before turning into a tall flame giant that was howling while it rushed at Yun Che.\n“This is… Duke Huai Palace’s killer move, Fallen Flame Devil! Duke Hui Ye could actually use this technique!!!”\n“No! Duke Hui Ye must be relying on the strength of the Obsidian Devil Sword’s powers to use this technique! Although the Flame Devil was partly formed using those flames, the remaining strength is connected to that Obsidian Devil Sword. Once this frighteningly powerful Flame Devil comes out… Yun Che would not even be able to struggle.” This Chapter's Teaser" } ]
第561章 就在凤凰炎距离手掌还有两尺之距时，辉夜郡王的脸色骤然一变……作为一个拥有火系神兽的血脉，又是修炼火系玄功的强大霸皇，对于玄火自然有着极强的抵御能力，不要说低等的赤色玄炎，就是普通的紫色玄炎，都难以伤害到他一根头发，但眼前的赤红火焰临近时，他却感觉到一种让他心悸的灼热感。 在他发觉之时，火焰已经近身，没有了避开的可能。 辉夜郡王迅速将玄力催入右臂，手掌魔炎燃起，一拳砸向了迎面而来的赤色火焰。 一声沉闷的轰响，凤凰火焰被辉夜郡王仓促之下砸开，落到了右侧的地面上，火焰熄灭之时，近五尺范围的地面被灼烧的轻微下陷。 而辉夜郡王脸上所闪过的痛苦表情虽然短暂，但足以让绝大多数人清楚的看在眼中，他五指中的三指，也分明被烧灼的通红一片。 人们都惊诧无比的张大了嘴巴，呆呆的看着辉夜郡王被轻微灼伤的手指和他右侧被小幅度灼陷的地面……那可是有着金乌血脉的辉夜郡王，和一个中期霸皇都难以破坏的坚韧黑玄玉地面。 刚才那明明是赤色的低等玄炎，←，怎么会有这么巨大的威力！” “难道，云澈的火焰并非是普通的玄炎？” “辉夜郡王的手好像都被灼伤了……辉夜郡王的火焰是金乌炎融合堕落魔炎，竟然被云澈随手释放出的赤色玄火给灼伤了，这这这……云澈的火焰，难道还能比辉夜郡王的金乌炎还厉害？” 大殿之中闹哄一片，就连云轻鸿的脸上都显露惊容。 皇座之上，小妖后的脸色出现了明显的变化……因为在云澈释放火焰的那一刹那，她清晰的感觉到自己的金乌炎力出现了剧烈的悸动。 难道，他所使用的火焰，也是某种堪比金乌炎的上古神炎？ 云澈嘲笑着道：“连你口中连笑话都算不上的赤色玄炎都接的这么狼狈，你拐着弯骂自己的能力还真是高明啊！” 辉夜郡王看了一眼自己的手掌，脸色一阵发黑，冷笑着道：“就凭你，也配嘲讽本王？ 你真以为就凭你这点低等玄炎，也配和本王叫板！” 辉夜郡王忽然向前一步，双手快速挥舞，霎时，赤黑魔炎在他的周围席卷而来，在整个上空连成黑红的一片，一股仿佛来自黄泉的森然气息充斥了大殿的每一个角落，随着辉夜手势一变，所有的赤色魔炎如同一头觉醒的巨兽，轰向了云澈。 云澈迅速后退，身上凤炎燃烧，一招“炙炎焚野”迎向遮天魔炎。 轰！ 赤黑的魔炎与赤红色凤凰火焰当空相撞，两团火焰同时炸开，那一瞬间的火光几乎灼伤了大量人的眼睛，本是金玉堂皇的大殿之顶被火焰完全的覆盖，爆开的赤黑之炎与赤红之炎如同两只愤怒的猛虎，在惊人的火焰咆哮中互相焚灭、吞噬着……赤炎吞噬着黒炎，黒炎也焚灭着赤炎，赤炎无法突破黒炎的封锁，黑炎也无法突破赤炎的阻隔……两者相庭抗衡。 辉夜郡王的瞳孔出现了刹那的收缩，他怎么都不可能想到，更不可能接受自己号称天下最强的火焰，竟然如一个玄力差自己两个大境界的人所释放的火焰势均力敌。 “你这种垃圾货色……怎么配和本王相争！ 如同两道逆向的滔天巨浪狠狠相撞，妖皇大殿的所有空气被一瞬间完全排出，火焰的海洋当空铺下，十二家族的家主连忙向前，将火焰牢牢的隔绝在赛场范围之内，整个赛场，也彻底化作了火焰的世界，赤炎与黒炎在其中狂暴的互相冲击着，一连持续了十几息，才缓缓的消散下去。 火焰消散的赛场之中，辉夜郡王和云澈分别站立于赛场的东西边缘，云澈的衣服破损多处，一脸淡笑，而辉夜郡王则明显要狼狈一下，不但衣服被烧焦大半，就连头发都被烧的七零八落，但身上，却也没有明显的灼伤，唯有他的脸色，漆黑的如同锅底一般。 所有人都彻底的窒息着……两人之间如此猛烈的火焰之争，赫然依旧是势均力敌！ 那岂不是意味着，在火焰层面上，云澈要远远的胜过辉夜郡王！ 他所使用的火焰，层面上竟是要远胜辉夜郡王融合堕炎魔功的金乌炎！ “这……这不可能……”那些知晓淮王府火焰之可怕的妖皇城强者都是眼睛瞪大，在震惊中失魂的低吟着。 小妖后玲珑娇小的身躯稍稍前倾，眼眸深处闪过一抹奇光，在默然注视了云澈好一会儿后，她低低的自语道：“凤凰炎？” 因为他看到了云澈在释放凤炎焚天时，背后乍然闪现的凤凰之影。 “你们淮王府的火焰……也不过如此！” 云澈冷笑着说道。 这声讥讽，让辉夜郡王脸色抽搐，连一句反驳的话都无法说出来，他先前才刚刚大喊他淮王府的火焰是金乌焚世录之下的最强之炎，但才一转眼的功夫，他就被狠狠的打脸，而且就如云澈所说……是自己打了自己的嘴巴。 辉夜郡王虽然几乎要气炸，但脸上，却反而露出一丝淡笑：“云澈，你还真是会给本王制造惊喜，本王承认是大大小看了你，不过刚才，也应该是你的极限了吧？ 但可惜，本王的实力才发挥了五成而已！” “在本王面前，你依然只是个垃圾货色！” 辉夜郡王一声低吼，身上那稀薄的金乌血脉以最大幅度燃烧了起来，一把长约两尺，遍体漆黑的短剑被他抓在了手中，短剑出现的那一刹那，他身上的金乌火焰剧烈摇曳，然后以极快的速度变得更加浓烈，直至那赤黑色深邃的如同干涸的鲜血一般。 短剑之上，也出现了一道道均匀闪现的猩红色纹路。 云澈的脸色变得凝重起来，因为辉夜郡王身上的可怕气息，比之刚才……整整提升了一倍有余！ “那把剑……难道就是传说中的黑曜魔剑？” “那个形状和气息，都和传说中的一样，不会错的！” “辉夜郡王的气息，比之刚才竟然强了那么多……嘶，淮王府的玄功，果然比传说的更可怕！ “能逼的辉夜郡王使用黑曜魔剑，云澈绝对是虽败犹荣……就怕，就怕辉夜郡王一怒之下，会直接废了云澈。” 云澈的耳边，在这时传来云轻鸿的声音：“他手中的那把黑色短剑名为黑曜魔剑，是创造堕炎魔功的那个远古种族所留下的始祖之剑，内蕴强大的魔煞之力，通过这把剑来释放堕炎魔功，会让火焰的威力极大幅度的提升……一定要小心！ 辉夜郡王明显已经对你生出了杀意，若确定自己不敌，千万不要硬碰，命比什么都重要！” 辉夜郡王身上的赤黑火焰翻滚燃烧，魔气森森，并伴随着声声的鬼哭之音，仿佛其中有着无数痛苦的灵魂在被灼烧。 “这才是本王真正的实力。” 辉夜郡王沐浴在这火焰之中，头发飘起，脸色被火焰映照的一片黑暗，看上去便如从地狱中走出的邪煞魔神一般。 他看着自己手上的火焰，感受着自己的气息，满脸享受的表情，这一刻，他感觉到自己已经可以掌控所有的一切……更能轻而易举的掌控云澈的生死。 “让本王看看，在本王的全力面前，你还能挣扎多久。” 他虽然有着绝对的把握战胜云澈，但被这个他之前完全蔑视的人逼出全力，逼出黑曜魔剑，甚至在火焰比拼上吃了暗亏，他已是愤怒到了极点，就算没有淮王之前的授意，他也非杀了云澈不可。 一道赤黑色的火浪随着黑曜魔剑的斩出轰向云澈，云澈不退不避，一道凤凰火焰带着呼啸的凤鸣声直撞而去。 “凤凰破！” 凤凰破不是单纯的凤炎攻击，还带有着强大的冲击力，但由于不是由重剑释放而出，所以远远不及后者强横，在撞击到魔炎的那一刹那，魔炎的冲势顿时一缓，但随之一声难听之极的嘶鸣，魔炎骤然反扑，将凤凰火焰快速吞噬，凤凰炎完全消散之时，魔炎只被抵消了三成，剩余的魔炎再无阻隔，横冲而至，轰击在云澈的身上。 轰！ 魔炎爆开，焚灭与腐蚀之力疯狂肆虐，下一个瞬间，云澈的身影从爆开的魔炎之中远远飞出，辉夜郡王目光锁定腾空而起的云澈，嘴角一丝戏虐的淡笑：“逃跑的本事不错嘛，让本王看看，这次你怎么逃！” 他手势一变，黑曜魔剑上的猩红纹路一下子变得刺眼无比。 云澈的下方，肆意燃烧的赤黑魔炎忽然间剧烈扭曲，然后竟化作一个数丈之高的火焰巨人，狂吼着扑向云澈。 “不！ 辉夜郡王能使用这一招，应该是依靠了黑曜魔剑的力量！ 炎魔虽然是由那一部分火焰化成，但其力量和那把黑曜魔剑相连，这可怕的炎魔一出……云澈估计连挣扎的能力都没有。”
Chapter 561 - Hui Ye at Full Power Just as the phoenix flame was two feet away, Duke Hui Ye’s expression suddenly changed… Being someone who possessed the bloodline of a fire-attribute divine beast and an Overlord who trained in fire profound arts, he would naturally possess strong resistance against fire. Needless to say, the lowly scarlet profound flame or even the normal purple profound flame would not be able to harm him one bit. However, when this scarlet flame approached, he felt a burning sensation that caused his heart to palpitate. When he had realized this, the flame was already close to him and was no longer avoidable. Duke Hui Ye instantly gathered his profound energy at his right arm, igniting the devil flame on his palm and attacked the approaching scarlet flame with a smashing fist. With a dull rumbling noise, the phoenix flame was deflected away hurriedly by Duke Hui Ye and landed on the ground to his right. When the flame extinguished, a one and a half meter radius of the ground sunk slightly due to being burnt. Although the expression of pain that flashed past Duke Hui Ye’s face was short, it was sufficient for the majority of the people to see it clearly. Among his five fingers, three of them had been burnt red. Everybody had their mouth agape in shock as they stared dumbfoundedly at Duke Hui Ye’s slightly burnt fingers and the slightly sunken floor on his right… This was the Duke Hui Ye who possessed the bloodline of the Golden Crow and the floor was made of the resistant black profound jade that even a mid-stage Overlord would have trouble destroying. “What… What happened? Wasn’t that the lowly scarlet profound flame, how can it have such a huge power!” “Could it be that Yun Che’s flame is not actually a normal profound flame?” “Duke Hui Ye’s hand seemed to be burnt as well… Duke Hui Ye’s flame is a mixture of the Golden Crow’s and the Fallen Devil Flame, and he actually got burnt by the scarlet profound flame that Yun Che casually released. This, this, this… Could it be possible that Yun Che’s flame was stronger than Duke Hui Ye’s Golden Crow Flame?” The entire hall now was in a great commotion and even Yun Qinghong’s face revealed shock. There were also significant changes in Little Demon Empress’ expression as she sat on her throne, because in the instant Yun Che had released his flames, she felt the clear sensation of her own Golden Crow Flame intensely throbbing. Could it be that the flame he used was also some sort of primordial divine flame that was on the same level as the Golden Crow Flame? Yun Che mocked, “You’re so pathetic even when receiving the scarlet flame that in your own words are not even considered a joke. Your ability to scold yourself indirectly is indeed high level!” Duke Hui Ye looked at his hand as his expression darkened, laughing coldly, “With just you, you think you’re fit to mock me? Do you really think that with your lowly profound flame, you can challenge this duke!” Duke Hui Ye took a step forward quickly, waving both his hands. Instantly, the crimson black devil flame ignited around him, turning the entire sky crimson black. An eerie aura that seemed as though it came straight from the depths of hell filled the entire hall. Following Duke Hui Ye’s hand sign, all the crimson-black devil flames rushed towards Yun Che as though they were a beast that had just been awakened. Yun Che quickly retreated, ignited Phoenix Flames on his body, and attacked the sky filled with Devil Flames with a “Burning Field”. Boom! The crimson-black Devil Flame and the scarlet Phoenix Flame collided in midair, exploding at the same time. In that instant, the sparks nearly blinded most of the audience and the roof of the originally elegant hall was now completely covered in flames. The exploding crimson-black flames and scarlet flames were like two ferocious tigers and amidst the shocking roars of the flames, they were burning one another, devouring one another… The scarlet flame devoured the black flames, and the black flames burnt the scarlet flames. The scarlet flames were unable to overcome the seal of the black flames, and the black flames were unable to overcome the resistance of the scarlet flames… The two were at a counterbalance with one another. “Wha… aaaatttttttt!” Duke Hui Ye’s pupils contracted in an instant as he could never imagine, nor would he accept the flame that he claimed to be the strongest in the world was equal with the flames released by someone two entire profound realms below him. Duke Hui Ye roared out in near utter perturbation as he stared widely. The crimson-black flames on him suddenly soared and became more intense... Booom!!! Like two huge waves violently colliding with each other, a sea of flames replaced all the air in the hall, which was exhausted in an instant. The patriarchs of the Twelve Families hastily went forward to confine the flames within the arena, and the entire arena was also transformed into a world of flames. The scarlet flames and the crimson-black flames collided against one another violently, and only after several breaths of time had passed did they gradually extinguish. In the arena where the flames had extinguished, Duke Hui Ye and Yun Che stood at the east and west wings respectively. Yun Che’s clothes were torn apart at various spots and he was smiling slightly, whereas Duke Hui Ye looked obviously much more pathetic. Not only were most of his clothes burnt, even much of his hair had been burnt. Although he did not seem to suffer any obvious burns, his face was as black as charcoal. Everyone held their breaths… The violent clash of flames between the two had turned out to be a draw! Wouldn’t that mean, that in terms of flames, Yun Che was far superior than Duke Hui Ye?!! The level of the flames he used would be far superior than Duke Hui Ye’s Golden Crow Flames which had been mixed with the Fallen Flame Devil Arts! “This… This is impossible…” Those powerhouses from the Demon Imperial City who knew how scary Duke Huai Palace’s flames all stared widely while uttered in complete shock. Little Demon Empress’s petite body moved forward slightly as a curious glow flashed past the depths of her eyes. After staring at Yun Che for some time, she finally muttered to herself, “Phoenix Flames?” Because she saw the instant flashing of a Phoenix’s silhouette when Yun Che released Phoenix Flame Sears the Heavens. “Your Duke Huai Palace’s flames… are only so-so!” Yun Che laughed. This ridicule caused Duke Hui Ye’s face to contort, as he was unable to utter out even one phrase in retaliation. Previously, he had shouted that Duke Huai Palace’s flames were the strongest flames under the Golden Crow’s Record of the Burning World. But in the blink of an eye, he had slapped himself on the face and it was just as Yun Che had mentioned… he slapped his own mouth himself. Even though Duke Hui Ye was about to explode with anger, his face had instead revealed a cold smile, “Yun Che, you really gave this duke a pleasant surprise. This duke admits that he has been looking down on you too much. But just now, that is probably your limit right? It’s such a pity that I have only used fifty percent of my strength just now!” “In front of this duke, you are still just trash!” Duke Hui Ye howled, the faint bloodline of the Golden Crow had been ignited to its maximum within him, as a two foot-long black shortsword appeared in his hands. When the shortsword appeared, the Golden Crow Flames swayed vigorously before quickly growing more intense until the color of the crimson-black flames became similar to that of freshly dried blood. On the shortsword, there were also lines and lines of uniform flashing red markings. Yun Che’s expression became serious as the frightening aura coming from Duke Hui Ye had… grown by at least double compared to just now! “Is that sword… the legendary Obsidian Devil Sword?” “That shape, that aura, is the same as the rumors. That must be it!” “Duke Hui Ye’s aura had become so much stronger as compared to just now… Sss, Duke Huai Palace’s profound arts are more scary than what the rumors say! It looks like it’s over for Yun Che this time.” “The fact that he was able to force Duke Hui Ye to use the Obsidian Devil Sword, Yun Che can definitely lose with pride… I’m just afraid that Duke Hui Ye might cripple Yun Che in his rage.” Yun Qinghong’s voice suddenly rang in Yun Che’s ears, “The black shortsword in his hands is the Obsidian Devil Sword. It is a sword left behind by the founders of the ancient clan that created the Fallen Flame Devil Arts. It possesses a ton of strong fiendish powers and releasing the Fallen Flame Devil Art through this shortsword would largely increase the intensity of the flame… You must be careful! Duke Hui Ye obviously wants to kill you. If you’re not certain you can win, don’t act tough. Your life is the most important!” Yun Che, “...” The crimson-black flames on Duke Hui Ye burned intensely and the strong devil’s aura was accompanied by the cries of ghosts; it was as though there were countless souls being burnt in that moment. The strength of the flame’s aura was enough to move the strongest experts in Illusory Demon Realm… Being able to reach such a level even before he was thirty, Duke Hui Ye’s future was limitless. “This is this duke’s true strength.” Duke Hui Ye bathed in the flames, his hair flying and his face pitch-black due to the flame. He looked as though he was an evil god of devils that had walked out from the depths of hell. He looked at the flame in his hands, felt his aura, and had a satisfied expression. At this instant, he felt that he could now easily control everything… even Yun Che’s fate. “Let this duke see how long you can struggle in the face of his full strength.” Once he finished speaking, the Obsidian Devil Sword stabbed out suddenly… Obviously, Duke Hui Ye wanted to eliminate any chance where Yun Che could surrender. Even though he had the absolute confidence of defeating Yun Che, Duke Hui Ye was now completely enraged after being forced to use his full strength with his Obsidian Devil Sword, having suffered a disadvantage when competing with flames by this person, whom he was looking down previously. Even if Duke Huai had not instructed him earlier, he was still determined to kill Yun Che. A crimson-black fire wave rushed towards Yun Che following the slash of the Obsidian Devil Sword, but Yun Che did not avoid nor retreat. A Phoenix Flame that was accompanied by the cry of the Phoenix attacked it head on. “Phoenix Break!” Phoenix Break was not a simple Phoenix Flame attack; it also had a strong destructive power. However, because it was not used with a heavy sword, its power was far weaker than it should have been. When it collided with the Devil Flame, it slowed down the rush of the Devil Flame, but following a nasty cry, the Devil Flame suddenly attacked and quickly consumed the Phoenix Flame. When the Phoenix Flame had completely disappeared, the Devil Flame was only weakened by thirty percent, and without any other obstruction, it rushed straight towards Yun Che, striking his body. Boom! When the Devil Flame exploded, the power of destruction and corrosion was frantically released. In the next instant, Yun Che’s figure flew far away from among the exploding Devil Flame. Duke Hui Ye locked onto Yun Che who was in midair and laughed a little playfully, “You’re not bad at escaping, but let this duke see how you’re going to escape this time!” His hand sign changed and the markings on the Obsidian Devil Sword became even more eye-catching. Below Yun Che, the willfully burning crimson-black Devil Flame suddenly distorted intensely before turning into a tall flame giant that was howling while it rushed at Yun Che. “This is… Duke Huai Palace’s killer move, Fallen Flame Devil! Duke Hui Ye could actually use this technique!!!” “No! Duke Hui Ye must be relying on the strength of the Obsidian Devil Sword’s powers to use this technique! Although the Flame Devil was partly formed using those flames, the remaining strength is connected to that Obsidian Devil Sword. Once this frighteningly powerful Flame Devil comes out… Yun Che would not even be able to struggle.” This Chapter's Teaser

The deeper they went, the colder it got, and the more dangerous the criminals behind bars were. There was no lack of notorious robbers and bloodthirsty evil spirits.\nWhen Meng Qi, Qi Zhengyan, Duan Rui, arrester Wang and the jailer stepped into the third floor, they immediately felt countless gazes being shot at them. Their gazes felt like there was actual substance to them, speaking volumes of the criminals’ strength.\n“Hey Wang, I f*cked your mother! If you’ve got the guts let me out of here and fight me fair and square! Ambushing me doesn’t mean sh*t about you!” Someone with a gruff voice called out. The words were full of rage interspersed with expletives. The steel chains around his limbs were noisily rattled until the bars of the cell themselves shook.\nArrester Wang’s expression did not change. Turning to the jailer, he instructed, “Starve him for three days.”\nThe he turned to introduce the felon to Meng Qi. “This is The Lone Robber Yuchi Gong. His kung fu is very powerful. We spent a painstaking amount of effort to finally trip him up here, and intend to send him to the prison in the capital later on in the year.”\nHe was a little proud of this accomplishment. Being able to arrest a serial robber who had always managed to evade capture proved his capability. As for the method he had employed to arrest him, it did not matter. He had never heard of arresters caring about the way in which they captured criminals!\nYuchi Gong’s voice was very loud and shook up the entire third floor, causing dust to fall everywhere. He was over two metres tall and had rippling muscles. Even with his scapulas pierced, the tendons on his hands and feet cut and his acupoints sealed, he was still as wild and vicious as ever. “Oi Wang you handicap! If you don’t let me out, I’ll kill your entire family and f*ck your mother!”\nArrester Wang did not even spare him a glance. He instructed the jailer once more, “Three days isn’t enough. Starve him until he can’t speak. If he’s still like this, give him 80 planks.”\nYuchi Gong’s roars covered the sound from the other prisoners, as if he were the prison bully on that floor.\nThe jailer agreed to all of Arrester Wang’s instructions. After reaching an empty prison cell, he fished out a key and opened the metal door. Then he locked steel chains around Duan Rui’s hands and feet.\n“In about six hours he needs some more acupinning,” reminded Meng Qi.\nArrester Wang did not want to stay in a dark, damp and noisy environment, so he left by himself after acknowledging Meng Qi’s words. The jailer bowed and said, “Master Su, I shall not distrub your interrogation. If you require anything, I’ll be at the entrance of the third floor. You can also shout for me.”\nSeeing that Arrester Wang and the jailer had left, Yuchi Gong changed his targets. He pointed at Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan and swore, “You scrubs still reek of your mother’s milk yet you’re pretending to interrogate others? From the looks of it, you guys are either disciples from an aristocratic family or Sect Disciples. You must have taken advantage of your ancestor’s prestige to curry that handicap’s favor.”\nHe spewed a ton of vulgarities in an attempt to agitate Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan into doing something irrational like opening his cell to beat him up. Then he could seize the chance to escape.\nMeng Qi smiled at him and said nothing. He simply watched the prisoner in silence.\n“Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” It had a strange rhythm to it, like it was coming from the depths of one’s soul and creating resonance.\n“What the hell are you straing at? If you’ve got the guts then come at me!” Yuchi Gong continued to holler.\n“Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” The sound of the heartbeat was getting clearer and clearer. Yuchi Gong felt like his own heart was beginning to follow the rhythm of the heartbeat, while Meng Qi stood opposite him with a smile.\n“Cowardly, dandy… I can tell with one glance that you’re one of those useless fellas who sells their body…” “Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” His heart was beating faster and faster. Yuchi Gong felt like blood was rushing to his head and could not go on further.\nHe stumbled back a few steps and heavily dropped to the floor. His face was flushed with blood and he was desperately panting. It was an unusually embarrassing situation for him, and he looked like he would drop dead anytime.\nThe fellow before him was too strange!\nHe was literally like an evil spirit or ghost!\nWhat kind of Kung Fu was that?\n“Senior Brother Qi, please help me to watch the door.” Meng Qi calmed the heartbeat down to its usual pace, still leisurely smiling.\nHe had read a martial arts novel before on how a devil could use his own heart rate to control others’ heartbeats, causing them to die without a proper cause. It was really cool, so during their three-month training period, he had asked Ruan Yushu for advice on its technique. The first time Ruan Yushu had displayed her strength was when she had used her zither music to control others’ heartbeats. Hence, Meng Qi had long thought of asking for her help. However, he had previously never been able to either because of a lack of strength or a lack of time.\nWithout involving anything about the actual zither music, Ruan Yushu had very generously shared the technique and Dharma Access with Meng Qi. On top of that, since Meng Qi was practicing the Eight Nine Mysteries, he was extremely adept at controlling every part of his body, including his heart. Thus, he was able to eventually develop a similar Dharma Access. It was not a particularly powerful move, but it was useful in assassinations or frightening others. The main point of it was still for him to relax and enjoy himself.\nHolding the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword, he kept an eye on the surrounding prison cells.\nThe surrounding prisoners all quietened down. Yuchi Gong was one of the most powerful and obstinate inmates among them, and yet he had been driven into a corner by them. These men who had not even moved an inch but had merely quietly watched them. It was better for them to keep a low profile!\nWhat kind of strange tricks were they using?\nThey had dealt with Yuchi Gong without speaking or moving!\nAmidst the silence, Meng Qi stepped into the jail cell. He stood before Duan Rui and said, “To cure you of your Soul-dissociating Syndrome, I must first understand everything that had happened.”\nTaoist Primogenitor of Buddhism, please forgive me for lying to a child. I’ll send for a doctor to come treat him!\n“Master Su, please ask me anything.” Duan Rui’s voice was full of expectation.\nMeng Qi began with asking other questions. “When was the first time you had felt signs of the Soul-dissociating Syndrome?”\nDuan Rui carefully thought about it. “It should’ve been not too long after my adoptive father went mad and left. When I first became a beggar, it wasn’t that severe. But because I was bullied a lot, I developed that ‘Demonic Revenge’.”\n“Who is your adoptive father?” Meng Qi asked.\nDuan Rui blankly answered, “My adoptive father is just my adoptive father.”\n“When did you meet your adoptive father?” Meng Qi decided to cut straight to the chase.\n“Hm, Duan Rui really didn’t have the strength to enter the depths of the back mountain. If he learned the ‘Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture’, then someone would’ve had to bring it out. Could it be that his adoptive father is The Giant Expert who practices poisonous kung fu in the poison lake at the back mountain? It seems the monster’s losing control isn’t as simple either…”\nMeng Qi appeared calm and continued. “What kind of unique characteristics your adoptive father has?”\n“My adoptive father’s eyebrows are very sparse, and his face is skinny. He’s around 40 or 50 years old, and his hair is very messy…” Duan Rui gave a detailed description.\nWith no obvious traits and only a verbal description, Meng Qi was completely unable to picture an image in his head or guess the man’s identity. He changed his question instead, asking, “Other than that, did your adoptive father teach you any other kung fu or give you any special object?”\n“No.” Duan Rui replied with certainty.\nMeng Qi’s brows were now knitted together. “That body-strengthening skill you mentioned, did your adoptive father ever practice it?”\n“Yes, every evening.” Duan Rui replied with certainty again.\nMeng Qi lightly sucked in his breath. “Did your adoptive father go mad as well after that?”\nDuan Rui’s gaze froze, his expression being one of shock. His adoptive father who had practiced that body-strengthening skill had gone mad, and now he had the Soul-dissociating Syndrome too and was on the verge of going mad. Could it be that that was the reason behind it?\nAlthough there were only two cases and it was not enough to make a judgment, Meng Qi went along with the flow. “So it seems that the Soul-dissociating Syndrome is linked to this body-strengthening skill. You should stop doing it for a while and see if it affects anything.”\n“Okay, I’ll do that,” came Duan Rui’s hurried response. Finding the source of the problem made him heave a sigh of relief.\nMeng Qi contemplated the issue for a moment. Then he said, “If you want to cure your Soul-dissociating Syndrome, we’ll probably have to start from this set of skills. Why don’t you perform it once so I can see if there’s any problem with it?”\nHe was very curious about this. Was it not the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture? Countless monks had been training in the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture ever since Shaolin Temple was established, but he had never heard of anyone going mad.\nDuan Rui was in a hurry to cure himself, and since the body-strengthening skill was a normal type of kung fu, he did not keep it a secret. He lay down and curled into a ball. Then he placed both hands on his lower abdomen with his legs pressed against his chest in a strange position. His breathing slowly became calm and slow.\nMeng Qi projected his will outwards. His soul was clear and vaguely reflected the traces of Duan Rui’s flow of genuine Qi. He watched its changes and attempted to find the core of it.\n“Looks like a Buddhist Zen Method…” Meng Qi tried his best to remember the way the genuine Qi traveled and the speed at which it flowed. It seemed like Duan Rui had no intention of hiding anything.\nAfter completing his first pose, Duan Rui changed his gesture. Eventually, he made a total of nine different postures, all of which were strange. Moreover, Meng Qi felt that every posture was weirder than the previous one. It felt like they were becoming increasingly incomplete, and increasingly sinister.\n“Huff…” Duan Rui exhaled as he anxiously stared at Meng Qi. “Master Su, my adoptive father said that the sequence can’t be wrong, otherwise I’ll suffer from Qi-deviancy Derangement. Could it be that the sequence he had always thought was correct is actually wrong?”\n“There’s that possibility. Describe the how the Qi flows in these postures for me.” Meng Qi wanted to verify what he had just seen. Also, this would help him tell if Duan Rui was lying or not.\nDuan Rui truthfully answered, giving Meng Qi a description that matched the flow of genuine Qi he had reflected.\nMeng Qi tried to probe further from time to time, but Duan Rui smoothly answered everything. Duan Rui’s responses were in line with his practices. It did not seem like Duan Rui was lying.\nMeng Qi burned the image of the nine postures into the back of his mind. “When looked at one by one, these nine postures are bizarre, but when performed together they feel incomplete and insidious. So it really could be a problem with the sequence. You should stop practicing it for now and forget it. I’ll send for a doctor to give you acupuncture to cure your Soul-dissociating Syndrome. Once the ‘evil spirit’ has been removed from its roots, it shouldn’t be hard to contain.”\n“Thank you, Master Su.” Meng Qi spoke in the same manner his adoptive father had, and so Duan Rui had complete faith in his words.\nAfterward, Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan left. They sincerely searched for a doctor to cure Duan Rui’s Soul-dissociating Syndrome.\nWhen night fell and it was time for Duan Rui’s additional acupinning, the jailer pulled open the metal door to his cell.\n“Soul-dissociating Syndrome, huh… Really can’t tell…” The jailer was also an expert, so he casually muttered to himself while kneeling down to perform the acupinning.\nRight at that moment, Duan Rui’s head snapped up. His eyes were deep and dark and looked totally black from a distance. Then he opened his mouth and spat, spraying spittle onto the jailer’s face.\n“Damn you…” The jailer had barely begun cursing when a blood-curdling cry escaped him and he collapsed on the ground. There was a sizzling sound coming from his face. In two or three breaths, his vitality had completely disappeared. His entire body had turned black and his face was covered in traces of rotting and decay.\nDuan Rui pulled the jailer over to himself and searched out the key. He unlocked the chains around his limbs and stretched his muscles as he walked out of his cell. “How dare they try to kill ‘me’! You should die!”\n“Our brother, we’re all in the same boat over here. Quick, come and help us remove our chains too! You’ll definitely be handsomely rewarded!” Yuchi Gong was overjoyed at this turn of events.\nDuan Rui cast a cold gaze at the man and then slowly walked over. There was not a shred of emotion in his almost completely black eyes.\n“Don’t, don’t come over here!”\n“Help!” .." } ]
此地六扇门的地牢共三层，越往下走，越是阴冷，关押的犯人也越来越危险，不乏江洋大盗、嗜杀邪魔。 孟奇、齐正言、段瑞、王捕头和牢头踏入第三层时，当即感觉一道道目光扫射而来，皆有实质之感，显然都实力不凡。 “姓王的，老子入你娘亲，有本事放老子出去，光明正大和老子打一场，阴谋埋伏算什么本事？” 一道粗豪的声音骂骂咧咧响起，满是愤恨和激动，带得精钢铁链哗啦作响，摇得特制铁栏晃晃荡荡。 王捕头脸色不变，吩咐了牢头一句：“饿他三天。” 转过头，他为孟奇介绍道：“这是独行大盗尉迟恭，武功非同小可，我们费了九牛二虎之力，才让他在本地栽了跟头，打算年后押解入京。” 对于此事，他颇为自豪，能拿下一个屡屡犯案却未被抓住的独行大盗足以证明自己的本事，至于用什么方式捉到的又有什么关系？ 没听说过捕头抓犯人要在意方式的！ 尉迟恭声音洪亮，震动整个第三层，让灰尘从嗖嗖洒落，他身高八尺，肌肉虬结，纵使被穿了琵琶骨，挑了手筋脚筋，封住了穴道，也张狂不减，恶意扑面：“姓王的，你这个鹰爪狗腿，若让老子逃出去，必杀你全家，入你娘亲！” 王捕头理都没理他，再次吩咐牢头：“三天不够，一直饿到他没有力气说话，实在不行。 鞭他八十。” 尉迟恭的吼声压住了其他犯人的鼓噪。 就像这一层的狱霸。 牢头连连称是，到了一间空着的牢房后，掏出钥匙，打开铁门，用精钢铁链锁住了段瑞的手脚。 “大概三个时辰需要补充点穴。” 孟奇提醒了一句。 王捕头不愿意身处阴冷潮湿又嘈闹无比的环境，答应了一声便自顾自离开，牢头行了一礼：“苏公子。 小的不妨碍你们拷问，若有吩咐，可到第三层入口找小的，大声呼喊也行。” 尉迟恭见王捕头两人离去，当即改变了目标，指着孟奇和齐正言臭骂道：“两个乳臭未干的小子，还学别人拷问？ 看你们的打扮，不是世家子弟，便是门派弟子。 他满嘴粗话，试图激怒孟奇和齐正言，让他们做出不理智的事情，比如打开牢房揍自己，从而觅得逃生的机会。 孟奇微笑看着他，没有说话，就这么静静看着。 忽然。 骂骂咧咧的尉迟恭听到了强劲有力的心跳声。 咚咚咚，咚咚咚，声音节奏奇怪，仿佛响在灵魂深处，能引起共鸣。 有本事你动手啊？” 尉迟恭继续大骂。 咚咚咚，咚咚咚，心跳之声越来越清晰，尉迟恭感觉自己的心脏也随着这个节奏跳动起来，对面的孟奇依然微笑不语。 咚咚咚，咚咚咚，心脏的跳动超过了尉迟恭的承受范围，他脑袋眩晕，眼前一片血色，只觉心脏随时会爆炸。 他倒退几步，猛然坐地，脸皮充血，大口喘气，狼狈异常，有一种随时会倒毙的感觉。 眼前的小子太诡异了！ 简直如同恶鬼邪神！ 这是什么功夫？ “齐师兄，麻烦帮我看着门。” 孟奇将心跳恢复正常，悠然笑道。 他以前看过一本武侠小说，有个魔头能用自己的心跳控制别人的心跳，让对方莫名身亡，非常酷炫，于是趁这次三个月静修的空隙，向阮玉书请教其中的技巧——阮玉书第一次展现实力便是用琴音控制别人的心跳，故而孟奇早有此想法，只不过碍于实力不足或时间不够，没能讨教。 在不牵涉具体琴音的情况下，阮玉书大方将技巧和法门相告，孟奇又练了八九玄功，对自身肉体每一个部位的控制极强，包括心脏，于是总算山寨出了类似法门，不算特别强力的手段，但暗杀或吓唬人时可以用到，主要目的还是放松和娱乐自己。 齐正言还是那张死人脸，轻轻点头：“好。” 他提着龙纹赤金剑，看着周围牢房。 周围的犯人全都安静了下来，实力在自己等人中数一数二又桀骜不驯的尉迟恭都弄得如此狼狈，在对方没有出手，只是静静看着的情况下，弄得如此狼狈，自己等人还是低调一点比较好！ 这是什么诡异手段？ 竟然不动不说话便收拾了尉迟恭！ 鸦雀无声之中，孟奇踏入牢房，站在段瑞面前：“要想治好离魂症，须得将来龙去脉弄清楚。” 道尊佛祖，请原谅我骗小孩，但我会为他延请名医的！ 段瑞饱含期待地道。 孟奇先是绕着圈子问：“你第一次感觉到离魂症的迹象是什么时候？” 段瑞仔细回想：“应该是义父发疯离开不久，沦为乞丐之时，最开始应该不算严重，因为被欺负很多次，才会有‘邪魔报复’。” “你义父是何来历？” 孟奇问道。 段瑞茫然道：“义父就是义父啊。” “什么时候认识你义父的？” 孟奇干脆挑明了问。 嗯，段瑞确实没有那个实力进入后山深处，若学有《易筋经》。 必然是有人带出，他的义父难道是在后山毒潭修炼毒功的巨擘强者？ 妖兽失控看来也不是那么简单……孟奇不动声色，继续问道：“你义父有什么特征？” “义父眉毛很淡，脸庞消瘦，大概四五十岁，头发凌乱……”段瑞仔细描述。 光靠语言的描述。 孟奇实在没办法勾勒出形貌，猜测出身份，转而问道：“除此之外，你义父还教你别的功夫，给你别的事物没有？” “没有。” 段瑞肯定回答。 孟奇皱眉道：“那套强身健体的功法，你义父可有习练？” “有的，每晚都练。” 段瑞肯定回答。 孟奇轻吸口气：“你义父后来是不是发疯了？” 段瑞的目光一下凝固，神情满是震惊，习练了强身健体功法的义父发疯了，自己也得了离魂症。 接近发疯，莫非是它的缘故？ 虽然只有两个样本，无法下评判，孟奇还是顺水推舟道：“如此看来，离魂症的起因当与这套强身健体的功法有关，你暂时得停止，看下有无影响。” “嗯，我会照办的。” 段瑞赶紧回答，找到源头让他松了口气。 孟奇沉吟了一下道：“要想治好离魂症，多半得从这套功法着手，不若你练一遍，让我看看有什么问题？” 对此，他非常好奇，难道不是易筋经？ 少林立寺这么多年，修炼易筋经的高僧不知凡几，从未听说有人入魔发疯。 段瑞着急治病，又只是一套强身健体的普通功夫，故而没有保密，躺了下来，蜷成一团，双手放在小腹，双腿抵住胸口，姿态怪异，呼吸慢慢变得悠长。 孟奇精神外放，心灵澄清，模糊映照着段瑞的真气流动轨迹，观其变化，窥其核心。 “像是佛门禅功……”孟奇努力记着运行路线和真气的快慢缓急，段瑞丝毫没有掩饰的想法。 练完一个周天，段瑞改换了姿势，最后一共摆出九个，皆是怪异奇特，而且越往后练，给孟奇的感觉越是古怪，仿佛越来越残缺，越来越有阴毒之感。 呼……段瑞吐了口气，眼巴巴看着孟奇：“苏公子，义父说姿势修炼的顺序不能错，否则会走火入魔，难道一直以来他认为对的顺序是错的？” “有这个可能，你再用语言复述一遍姿势的行气路线。” 孟奇要验证自己感应到的东西，而且这也能看出段瑞有没有说谎。 段瑞老老实实回答，与孟奇映照出的真气流转轨迹吻合。 他不时挑问几处，段瑞皆对答如流，与修炼的状况相符，不像是撒谎。 孟奇将九个姿势牢牢记住后道：“这九个姿势单一来看皆是不凡，可若连起来修炼就有残缺诡秘之感，所以可能确实是顺序的问题，你暂时停止修炼，将它忘记，我再延请名医，药石金针齐下，治你的离魂症，‘邪魔’脱离了根本，当不难遏制。” “谢苏公子。” 孟奇的说法与义父相同，段瑞深信不疑。 之后，孟奇与齐正言离开，真心实意帮段瑞寻找治离魂症的名医。 到了夜间，到了补点段瑞穴道的时候，牢头打开了铁门。 “离魂症，真是看不出来啊……”牢头也算个好手，随口唠叨着，蹲下来点穴。 就在这时，段瑞一下抬起头，双目幽深无比，远看一片漆黑，张嘴一吐，口沫喷到了牢头脸上。 “该死……”牢头刚骂了一声就惨叫着软倒，脸庞兹兹作响，不过两三息时间，便没了生机，身体完全发黑，脸上多是腐蚀痕迹。 段瑞将牢头拉了过来，找出钥匙，解开了精钢锁链，活动了下筋骨，走出牢房：“想将‘我’除去，该死！” “这位兄弟，大家同是患难之人，快帮我们脱困，必有重谢！” 尉迟恭大喜过望。 段瑞冷冷看了过去，近乎漆黑的双目没有一丝感情，然后缓步靠近。 “别，别过来！” ……(未
Six Fan School’s prison there had a total of three floors. The deeper they went, the colder it got, and the more dangerous the criminals behind bars were. There was no lack of notorious robbers and bloodthirsty evil spirits. When Meng Qi, Qi Zhengyan, Duan Rui, arrester Wang and the jailer stepped into the third floor, they immediately felt countless gazes being shot at them. Their gazes felt like there was actual substance to them, speaking volumes of the criminals’ strength. “Hey Wang, I f*cked your mother! If you’ve got the guts let me out of here and fight me fair and square! Ambushing me doesn’t mean sh*t about you!” Someone with a gruff voice called out. The words were full of rage interspersed with expletives. The steel chains around his limbs were noisily rattled until the bars of the cell themselves shook. Arrester Wang’s expression did not change. Turning to the jailer, he instructed, “Starve him for three days.” The he turned to introduce the felon to Meng Qi. “This is The Lone Robber Yuchi Gong. His kung fu is very powerful. We spent a painstaking amount of effort to finally trip him up here, and intend to send him to the prison in the capital later on in the year.” He was a little proud of this accomplishment. Being able to arrest a serial robber who had always managed to evade capture proved his capability. As for the method he had employed to arrest him, it did not matter. He had never heard of arresters caring about the way in which they captured criminals! Yuchi Gong’s voice was very loud and shook up the entire third floor, causing dust to fall everywhere. He was over two metres tall and had rippling muscles. Even with his scapulas pierced, the tendons on his hands and feet cut and his acupoints sealed, he was still as wild and vicious as ever. “Oi Wang you handicap! If you don’t let me out, I’ll kill your entire family and f*ck your mother!” Arrester Wang did not even spare him a glance. He instructed the jailer once more, “Three days isn’t enough. Starve him until he can’t speak. If he’s still like this, give him 80 planks.” Yuchi Gong’s roars covered the sound from the other prisoners, as if he were the prison bully on that floor. The jailer agreed to all of Arrester Wang’s instructions. After reaching an empty prison cell, he fished out a key and opened the metal door. Then he locked steel chains around Duan Rui’s hands and feet. “In about six hours he needs some more acupinning,” reminded Meng Qi. Arrester Wang did not want to stay in a dark, damp and noisy environment, so he left by himself after acknowledging Meng Qi’s words. The jailer bowed and said, “Master Su, I shall not distrub your interrogation. If you require anything, I’ll be at the entrance of the third floor. You can also shout for me.” Seeing that Arrester Wang and the jailer had left, Yuchi Gong changed his targets. He pointed at Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan and swore, “You scrubs still reek of your mother’s milk yet you’re pretending to interrogate others? From the looks of it, you guys are either disciples from an aristocratic family or Sect Disciples. You must have taken advantage of your ancestor’s prestige to curry that handicap’s favor.” He spewed a ton of vulgarities in an attempt to agitate Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan into doing something irrational like opening his cell to beat him up. Then he could seize the chance to escape. Meng Qi smiled at him and said nothing. He simply watched the prisoner in silence. “Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” It had a strange rhythm to it, like it was coming from the depths of one’s soul and creating resonance. “What the hell are you straing at? If you’ve got the guts then come at me!” Yuchi Gong continued to holler. “Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” The sound of the heartbeat was getting clearer and clearer. Yuchi Gong felt like his own heart was beginning to follow the rhythm of the heartbeat, while Meng Qi stood opposite him with a smile. “Cowardly, dandy… I can tell with one glance that you’re one of those useless fellas who sells their body…” “Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!” His heart was beating faster and faster. Yuchi Gong felt like blood was rushing to his head and could not go on further. He stumbled back a few steps and heavily dropped to the floor. His face was flushed with blood and he was desperately panting. It was an unusually embarrassing situation for him, and he looked like he would drop dead anytime. The fellow before him was too strange! He was literally like an evil spirit or ghost! What kind of Kung Fu was that? “Senior Brother Qi, please help me to watch the door.” Meng Qi calmed the heartbeat down to its usual pace, still leisurely smiling. He had read a martial arts novel before on how a devil could use his own heart rate to control others’ heartbeats, causing them to die without a proper cause. It was really cool, so during their three-month training period, he had asked Ruan Yushu for advice on its technique. The first time Ruan Yushu had displayed her strength was when she had used her zither music to control others’ heartbeats. Hence, Meng Qi had long thought of asking for her help. However, he had previously never been able to either because of a lack of strength or a lack of time. Without involving anything about the actual zither music, Ruan Yushu had very generously shared the technique and Dharma Access with Meng Qi. On top of that, since Meng Qi was practicing the Eight Nine Mysteries, he was extremely adept at controlling every part of his body, including his heart. Thus, he was able to eventually develop a similar Dharma Access. It was not a particularly powerful move, but it was useful in assassinations or frightening others. The main point of it was still for him to relax and enjoy himself. Holding the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword, he kept an eye on the surrounding prison cells. The surrounding prisoners all quietened down. Yuchi Gong was one of the most powerful and obstinate inmates among them, and yet he had been driven into a corner by them. These men who had not even moved an inch but had merely quietly watched them. It was better for them to keep a low profile! What kind of strange tricks were they using? They had dealt with Yuchi Gong without speaking or moving! Amidst the silence, Meng Qi stepped into the jail cell. He stood before Duan Rui and said, “To cure you of your Soul-dissociating Syndrome, I must first understand everything that had happened.” Taoist Primogenitor of Buddhism, please forgive me for lying to a child. I’ll send for a doctor to come treat him! “Master Su, please ask me anything.” Duan Rui’s voice was full of expectation. Meng Qi began with asking other questions. “When was the first time you had felt signs of the Soul-dissociating Syndrome?” Duan Rui carefully thought about it. “It should’ve been not too long after my adoptive father went mad and left. When I first became a beggar, it wasn’t that severe. But because I was bullied a lot, I developed that ‘Demonic Revenge’.” “Who is your adoptive father?” Meng Qi asked. Duan Rui blankly answered, “My adoptive father is just my adoptive father.” “When did you meet your adoptive father?” Meng Qi decided to cut straight to the chase. “Hm, Duan Rui really didn’t have the strength to enter the depths of the back mountain. If he learned the ‘Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture’, then someone would’ve had to bring it out. Could it be that his adoptive father is The Giant Expert who practices poisonous kung fu in the poison lake at the back mountain? It seems the monster’s losing control isn’t as simple either…” Meng Qi appeared calm and continued. “What kind of unique characteristics your adoptive father has?” “My adoptive father’s eyebrows are very sparse, and his face is skinny. He’s around 40 or 50 years old, and his hair is very messy…” Duan Rui gave a detailed description. With no obvious traits and only a verbal description, Meng Qi was completely unable to picture an image in his head or guess the man’s identity. He changed his question instead, asking, “Other than that, did your adoptive father teach you any other kung fu or give you any special object?” “No.” Duan Rui replied with certainty. Meng Qi’s brows were now knitted together. “That body-strengthening skill you mentioned, did your adoptive father ever practice it?” “Yes, every evening.” Duan Rui replied with certainty again. Meng Qi lightly sucked in his breath. “Did your adoptive father go mad as well after that?” Duan Rui’s gaze froze, his expression being one of shock. His adoptive father who had practiced that body-strengthening skill had gone mad, and now he had the Soul-dissociating Syndrome too and was on the verge of going mad. Could it be that that was the reason behind it? Although there were only two cases and it was not enough to make a judgment, Meng Qi went along with the flow. “So it seems that the Soul-dissociating Syndrome is linked to this body-strengthening skill. You should stop doing it for a while and see if it affects anything.” “Okay, I’ll do that,” came Duan Rui’s hurried response. Finding the source of the problem made him heave a sigh of relief. Meng Qi contemplated the issue for a moment. Then he said, “If you want to cure your Soul-dissociating Syndrome, we’ll probably have to start from this set of skills. Why don’t you perform it once so I can see if there’s any problem with it?” He was very curious about this. Was it not the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture? Countless monks had been training in the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture ever since Shaolin Temple was established, but he had never heard of anyone going mad. Duan Rui was in a hurry to cure himself, and since the body-strengthening skill was a normal type of kung fu, he did not keep it a secret. He lay down and curled into a ball. Then he placed both hands on his lower abdomen with his legs pressed against his chest in a strange position. His breathing slowly became calm and slow. Meng Qi projected his will outwards. His soul was clear and vaguely reflected the traces of Duan Rui’s flow of genuine Qi. He watched its changes and attempted to find the core of it. “Looks like a Buddhist Zen Method…” Meng Qi tried his best to remember the way the genuine Qi traveled and the speed at which it flowed. It seemed like Duan Rui had no intention of hiding anything. After completing his first pose, Duan Rui changed his gesture. Eventually, he made a total of nine different postures, all of which were strange. Moreover, Meng Qi felt that every posture was weirder than the previous one. It felt like they were becoming increasingly incomplete, and increasingly sinister. “Huff…” Duan Rui exhaled as he anxiously stared at Meng Qi. “Master Su, my adoptive father said that the sequence can’t be wrong, otherwise I’ll suffer from Qi-deviancy Derangement. Could it be that the sequence he had always thought was correct is actually wrong?” “There’s that possibility. Describe the how the Qi flows in these postures for me.” Meng Qi wanted to verify what he had just seen. Also, this would help him tell if Duan Rui was lying or not. Duan Rui truthfully answered, giving Meng Qi a description that matched the flow of genuine Qi he had reflected. Meng Qi tried to probe further from time to time, but Duan Rui smoothly answered everything. Duan Rui’s responses were in line with his practices. It did not seem like Duan Rui was lying. Meng Qi burned the image of the nine postures into the back of his mind. “When looked at one by one, these nine postures are bizarre, but when performed together they feel incomplete and insidious. So it really could be a problem with the sequence. You should stop practicing it for now and forget it. I’ll send for a doctor to give you acupuncture to cure your Soul-dissociating Syndrome. Once the ‘evil spirit’ has been removed from its roots, it shouldn’t be hard to contain.” “Thank you, Master Su.” Meng Qi spoke in the same manner his adoptive father had, and so Duan Rui had complete faith in his words. Afterward, Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan left. They sincerely searched for a doctor to cure Duan Rui’s Soul-dissociating Syndrome. When night fell and it was time for Duan Rui’s additional acupinning, the jailer pulled open the metal door to his cell. “Soul-dissociating Syndrome, huh… Really can’t tell…” The jailer was also an expert, so he casually muttered to himself while kneeling down to perform the acupinning. Right at that moment, Duan Rui’s head snapped up. His eyes were deep and dark and looked totally black from a distance. Then he opened his mouth and spat, spraying spittle onto the jailer’s face. “Damn you…” The jailer had barely begun cursing when a blood-curdling cry escaped him and he collapsed on the ground. There was a sizzling sound coming from his face. In two or three breaths, his vitality had completely disappeared. His entire body had turned black and his face was covered in traces of rotting and decay. Duan Rui pulled the jailer over to himself and searched out the key. He unlocked the chains around his limbs and stretched his muscles as he walked out of his cell. “How dare they try to kill ‘me’! You should die!” “Our brother, we’re all in the same boat over here. Quick, come and help us remove our chains too! You’ll definitely be handsomely rewarded!” Yuchi Gong was overjoyed at this turn of events. Duan Rui cast a cold gaze at the man and then slowly walked over. There was not a shred of emotion in his almost completely black eyes. “Don’t, don’t come over here!” “Help!” ..

She asked about his current situation and Ye Shaoyang briefly told her everything . After listening, Zhou Jingru advised him to be more cautious in his actions and told him, “Big Brother Shaoyang, you must call me if you need my help . ” “Alright . ”\nYe Shaoyang felt that it was nice to have someone concerned about him . He felt warm .\n“Oh ya, that loli--no . Tan Xiaohui, has she come back from Sichuan?”\nYe Shaoyang stuck out his tongue . Xiao Ma always referred to Tan Xiaohui as a lolita and he almost got used to thinking of her that way . He nearly said lolita to Zhou Jingru . Luckily, Zhou Jingru did not hear it .\n“That’s the reason I called you tonight . She will be coming back tomorrow . Do you need her help?”\n“It doesn’t matter . ” Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he continued, “You can bring her to Xie Yuqing . See if she knows the Gu master . If not, she can learn more about him and help Xie Yuqing catch him and investigate Madam Chee’s Temple . Tell her to call me if she has any important information . ”\nZhou Jingru replied to Ye Shaoyang with an okay . Then, she urged Ye Shaoyang again to be more careful before she hung up .\nIn the morning, Ye Shaoyang went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital alone while Xiao Ma went to buy things .\nThe doctor-in-charge welcomed Ye Shaoyang warmly when he stepped into the department . Today was the first time that no female corpse with makeup appeared in the operation theater for over two weeks . Everyone knew this was because the head of the department, Director Zheng, had hired Ye Shaoyang . “Wow, this young sorcerer is so handsome . ”\nYe Shaoyang looked over the voice of exclaim in admiration . He saw at least four to five nurses staring at him through the transparent glass of the nurse duty room . He blushed, hung his head, and quickly followed the footsteps of the doctor-in-charge . The doctor-in-charge poured a glass of water when they reached his office . After a short talk, he complied with Ye Shaoyang’s arrangement and ordered Xu Yajuan to his office .\nXiao Ma reached the office not long after the arrival of Xu Yajuan . He nodded to Ye Shaoyang and said nothing .\n“Big Brother Shaoyang, a lot of my colleagues asked for your contact number since they know we are friends . They want you to read their facial features and predict their fortune . Should I give it to them?”\nYe Shaoyang then gave a dry cough, “Stop talking nonsense . We’re here for a serious matter . Xu Yajuan, do you know how many mothers are pending labor now? I mean those who have stayed in the ward . ” Xu Yajuan paused and asked, “Why do you want to know?”\nYe Shaoyang explained, “The underworld midwife will choose a suitable baby from those mothers who are pending labor . The chosen baby will have a talent for cultivating after the baby becomes an infant spirit . The underworld midwife will leave her spirit Qi as a mark on the mother’s forehead .\n“The mark won't affect the growth of the baby . Its purpose is to indicate that the baby belongs to her so that other spirits and demons won't take the baby . My divine eye can see the mark . Once I confirm the next victim, there is a high chance I can find her . ”\nXu Yajuan thought for a moment, as she frowned, “Will she show herself up if she has already known you are going to catch her?”\n“It's very likely . It’s not easy to find a suitable baby . She knows sorcerers won’t enter the labor room, so she can easily capture the soul . After she has, she will possess one of the medical staff and escape .\n“As I mentioned previously, she is good at making herself invisible . Once she possesses someone, it will be challenging for us to spot her as not even my divine eye can see her . She has nothing to fear . She doesn’t need to give up on capturing the soul because of my existence . ”\nYe Shaoyang smiled, “Don’t worry . If I’m not mistaken, the underworld midwife has already possessed a person . Otherwise, I should have detected her existence . ”\nYe Shaoyang’s words stunned Xiao Ma and Xu Yajuan .\n“Will there be any unusual look from the outer appearance of the person she has possessed?” asked Xu Yajuan in a trembling voice .\n“It’s difficult to distinguish, but there is one way to guess who she has possessed . ” Ye Shaoyang looked at the two of them as he continued, “Don’t forget the Five Spirit Mountain Moving Formation restricts the underworld midwife’s range of movement . According to my inference, the range of the formation is the whole hospital . So, if any doctor or nurse from your department can’t leave the main gate of this hospital, the person must be under the underworld midwife’s possession . ”\nWhen Ye Shaoyang had finished, he looked at Xu Yajuan and gave her a solemn nod .\nXu Yajuan took a deep breath, “A lot of us who are single, like me, will stay in the hostel rooms and rarely go out . ”\nYe Shaoyang then whispered his plan to Xu Yajuan . She nodded as she listened to his plan .\n“But I thought you said that you can’t do anything even if you know the underworld midwife captures a soul in the labor room . ”\n“I can’t do anything because I can’t differentiate the underworld midwife from others if she mixes in a group of people . Now, I’m trying to find her out with this new idea, then I’ll…” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “It’s still early . Let’s go to the labor room . ”\nXu Yajuan informed the matron that Ye Shaoyang planned to pay a visit to the labor room . The matron did not ask further due to Director Zheng’s order to cooperate . She told Xu Yajuan to escort him .\nYe Shaoyang asked Xiao Ma to stay . Then, he followed Xu Yajuan to visit every patient in the labor room . They walked and did not talk . Ye Shaoyang pretended to look at the faces of those mothers-to-be inadvertently and exited their rooms .\nThere were five labor rooms in total . In each labor room, there were three beds . Currently, fifteen pregnant women were waiting to go into labor . Ye Shaoyang had seen the thirteen of them, which left the two pregnant women who had gone to the toilet .\n“How’s it?” Xu Yajuan hurriedly asked once she and Ye Shaoyang reached the stairs .\nYe Shaoyang shook his head . Before he could answer Xu Yajuan, he saw two pregnant women come out from a toilet . He stared at one of them with his eyes wide open .\nHe gazed after the two pregnant women who went into the labor room . Then, he lowered his voice and spoke to Xu Yajuan, “It’s one of them . ”\nXu Yajuan asked, “Which one?”\n“The pregnant woman with the yellow t-shirt . ”\nXu Yajuan paused for a while before she continued, “Her name is Shao Juan . The other pregnant woman beside her is Zhou Xiaona . It’s such a coincidence . Both of them are going for cesarean sections tomorrow at the same time . ”\n“Did they purposely schedule the operations on the same day?” asked Ye Shaoyang .\n“Yes, they’re friends . They got pregnant at almost the same time . They purposely stayed in the same labor room and promised to get their cesarean sections together . They said the first baby born would be the big brother or big sister . ”\nYe Shaoyang nodded, “Are you helping them deliver tomorrow?”\n“I’m helping with Zhou Xiaona’s,” Xu Yajuan let out a breath of relief, “Luckily I’m not helping with Shao Juan’s . I’m afraid I’ll be too nervous during the operation because I already know the truth . ”\nWhen Xu Yajuan said that, she frowned and held Ye Shaoyang’s arm, “Big Brother Shaoyang, Shao Juan is a good person .

153.第153章 睡觉之前，叶少阳接到周静茹打来的电话，询问他这两天的近况，叶少阳大致讲了一遍，周静茹听完，不厌其烦的嘱咐了很多遍，让他小心行事，十分郑重的说道：“假如有需要我帮忙的，少阳哥，你一定要第一个找我。” “知道了。” 被人关心的感觉不错，叶少阳心里也是暖暖的。 “对了，那个小萝莉——不是，覃小慧，从西川回来了没有？” 吐了吐舌头，小马私底下老是管覃小慧叫小萝莉，叶少阳听得多了，一时没想起她的名字，差点顺过去。 周静茹倒是没有注意到，说道：“我打电话给你，就是想说这个事，她明天回来，要不要让她去帮你？” “这倒不用。” 叶少阳想了想，道：“你让她去找雨晴姐，了解下那个蛊师的情况，看她认不认识，能帮着抓捕最好，顺便调查一下七奶奶庙，有情况给我打电话。” 周静茹答应一声，又嘱咐了一遍让他注意安全，这才挂上电话。 第二天早上，叶少阳让小马去采购东西，自己一个人来到医院的妇产科。 他一出现，立刻受到妇产科负责人的亲切接待：今天早上，妇产科的手术室内，长久以来第一次没有看到化了妆的女尸，谁都知道这件事跟被郑院长请来的这个年轻人有关。 叶少阳循着赞叹声望去，护士值班室透明的玻璃窗后面，有至少四五个小护士都在睁大眼睛打量自己，顿时感到脸上发烫，低下头匆匆走过去，跟在主任医生身后，来到一间办公室，主任给他倒了杯水，寒暄片刻，便听从安排，去叫许雅娟过来。 许雅娟到了没一会，小马也来了，冲叶少阳点了点头，没有多说。 “少阳哥，她们知道你是我朋友之后，不少人都来找我要你的号码，说想请你算命看相，给她们吗？” 叶少阳翻了翻眼皮，这小子，什么本事没有，说起专业名词，倒是一套一套的，也不知是从哪学来的。 “闲话少说，说正事啊，第一，小娟你们医院现在有多少待产的孕妇，已经在医院住下的。” 许雅娟一愣，“问这干什么？” 叶少阳解释道：“接阴生婆会从住院的产妇之中，选择合适的胎儿，要求简单说就是找做鬼之后，修炼天赋高的，在婴儿母亲的额头上，留下一丝鬼气。 这么做不是为了影响婴儿的生长，而是一种认证，表明这个胎儿是自己选中的，别的鬼妖邪物就不会侵害它，我的天通眼，能够看到这种印记，只要确定了哪个是接阴生婆下一个勾魂的对象，就有希望找到它。” 许雅娟想了一想，皱眉道：“她知道你在抓她，还会显形吗？” “应该会，她选中一个婴儿也不容易，而且她也知道，产房那种地方，法师是不会进去的，她可以放心勾魂，完事之后，将自己附身在某个医护人员的身上。 我之前说过，她最擅长的就是闭气隐形，附身之后，几乎不可能看出破绽，哪怕是我的天通眼也不行。 所以，她几乎是无所顾忌，没有必要为了我的存在，去放弃勾魂。” 叶少阳笑了笑，说道：“你不用担心，如果我猜得没错，接阴生婆已经附在一个人的身上，不然我不会完全察觉不到它的气息。” 此言一出，小马和许雅娟顿时呆住。 “附在别人身上，从外表，看不出……异样吗？” 许雅娟颤声说道。 “很难看出，不过通过一点，可以推断出来。” 叶少阳看了看二人，说道：“别忘了一点，接阴生婆无法突破五鬼搬山阵的束缚，据我推测，五鬼搬山阵的范围，应该是整个医院，所以很简单，你们妇产科，哪个大夫或护士，不愿意离开医院大门，那就一定是被接阴生婆附身的。” 说完，他的目光落在许雅娟脸上，郑重的点了点头。 许雅娟深吸了一口气，说道：“有不少单身的，像我，都住在宿舍啊，经常不出去。” 叶少阳小声讲出了自己的计划，许雅娟听完，眼前一亮，点了点头。 “可是，你刚不是说，就算知道那鬼婆子去勾魂，你也没办法对付吗？” “我是说，它混在一帮人之间，我没法辨认出来，自然没办法对付，我现在就是想法子把它找出来，然后……”叶少阳笑笑，“时间还早，先去产房吧。” 许雅娟先去跟护士长通报了一下，说出叶少阳想要参观产房的要求，护士长也没有细问，有郑院长的关照，当然一路放行，让许雅娟好好陪同。 叶少阳把小马放下，跟在许雅娟的后面，挨个病房去探视，病房里都是准妈妈，两人脚步很轻，也不说话，叶少阳假装无意的往几位准妈妈脸上看上一眼，便退出去。 待产病房一共五间，一间三张床，住着一共十五个快到分娩期、前来待产的准妈妈，叶少阳看到了十三个，还有两个上厕所去了没出来。 来到楼梯口，许雅娟迫不及待的问道。 叶少阳摇摇头，还没来及回答，就看到两个大肚子少妇从厕所里结伴出来，叶少阳盯住其中一个，眼睛一下子瞪圆了。 一直目送两个孕妇进到房间里，叶少阳低声对许雅娟道：“是其中一个。” 许雅娟马上问：“哪个？” “黄衣服的那个。” 许雅娟想了想，道：“她叫邵娟，真巧啊，她明天要做剖腹产，另一个叫……周小娜，她们俩明天都要做剖腹产，同一个时间。” “约好的？” 叶少阳问。 “是的，她俩是朋友，差不多时候怀孕的，就特意来住了一间病房，约定一起剖腹产。 说是看谁的孩子先出来，争做哥哥姐姐。” 叶少阳点点头，道：“你明天帮她们接生吗？” “我帮周小娜接生，”许雅娟吐了口气，“幸好不是邵娟的，现在知道了真相……我怕到时候真有点紧张。” 说到这，眉头又皱起来，摇着叶少阳的胳膊，“少阳哥，邵娟人挺好的，我晚上值班的时候，她还叫过外卖跟我一起吃，人很好，你一定要救她和她肚里的孩子呀！” 叶少阳沉吟着点了点头。
Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Ye Shaoyang got a call from Zhou Jingru before he went to bed . She asked about his current situation and Ye Shaoyang briefly told her everything . After listening, Zhou Jingru advised him to be more cautious in his actions and told him, “Big Brother Shaoyang, you must call me if you need my help . ” “Alright . ” Ye Shaoyang felt that it was nice to have someone concerned about him . He felt warm . “Oh ya, that loli--no . Tan Xiaohui, has she come back from Sichuan?” Ye Shaoyang stuck out his tongue . Xiao Ma always referred to Tan Xiaohui as a lolita and he almost got used to thinking of her that way . He nearly said lolita to Zhou Jingru . Luckily, Zhou Jingru did not hear it . “That’s the reason I called you tonight . She will be coming back tomorrow . Do you need her help?” “It doesn’t matter . ” Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he continued, “You can bring her to Xie Yuqing . See if she knows the Gu master . If not, she can learn more about him and help Xie Yuqing catch him and investigate Madam Chee’s Temple . Tell her to call me if she has any important information . ” Zhou Jingru replied to Ye Shaoyang with an okay . Then, she urged Ye Shaoyang again to be more careful before she hung up . In the morning, Ye Shaoyang went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital alone while Xiao Ma went to buy things . The doctor-in-charge welcomed Ye Shaoyang warmly when he stepped into the department . Today was the first time that no female corpse with makeup appeared in the operation theater for over two weeks . Everyone knew this was because the head of the department, Director Zheng, had hired Ye Shaoyang . “Wow, this young sorcerer is so handsome . ” Ye Shaoyang looked over the voice of exclaim in admiration . He saw at least four to five nurses staring at him through the transparent glass of the nurse duty room . He blushed, hung his head, and quickly followed the footsteps of the doctor-in-charge . The doctor-in-charge poured a glass of water when they reached his office . After a short talk, he complied with Ye Shaoyang’s arrangement and ordered Xu Yajuan to his office . Xiao Ma reached the office not long after the arrival of Xu Yajuan . He nodded to Ye Shaoyang and said nothing . “Big Brother Shaoyang, a lot of my colleagues asked for your contact number since they know we are friends . They want you to read their facial features and predict their fortune . Should I give it to them?” Ye Shaoyang then gave a dry cough, “Stop talking nonsense . We’re here for a serious matter . Xu Yajuan, do you know how many mothers are pending labor now? I mean those who have stayed in the ward . ” Xu Yajuan paused and asked, “Why do you want to know?” Ye Shaoyang explained, “The underworld midwife will choose a suitable baby from those mothers who are pending labor . The chosen baby will have a talent for cultivating after the baby becomes an infant spirit . The underworld midwife will leave her spirit Qi as a mark on the mother’s forehead . “The mark won't affect the growth of the baby . Its purpose is to indicate that the baby belongs to her so that other spirits and demons won't take the baby . My divine eye can see the mark . Once I confirm the next victim, there is a high chance I can find her . ” Xu Yajuan thought for a moment, as she frowned, “Will she show herself up if she has already known you are going to catch her?” “It's very likely . It’s not easy to find a suitable baby . She knows sorcerers won’t enter the labor room, so she can easily capture the soul . After she has, she will possess one of the medical staff and escape . “As I mentioned previously, she is good at making herself invisible . Once she possesses someone, it will be challenging for us to spot her as not even my divine eye can see her . She has nothing to fear . She doesn’t need to give up on capturing the soul because of my existence . ” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “Don’t worry . If I’m not mistaken, the underworld midwife has already possessed a person . Otherwise, I should have detected her existence . ” Ye Shaoyang’s words stunned Xiao Ma and Xu Yajuan . “Will there be any unusual look from the outer appearance of the person she has possessed?” asked Xu Yajuan in a trembling voice . “It’s difficult to distinguish, but there is one way to guess who she has possessed . ” Ye Shaoyang looked at the two of them as he continued, “Don’t forget the Five Spirit Mountain Moving Formation restricts the underworld midwife’s range of movement . According to my inference, the range of the formation is the whole hospital . So, if any doctor or nurse from your department can’t leave the main gate of this hospital, the person must be under the underworld midwife’s possession . ” When Ye Shaoyang had finished, he looked at Xu Yajuan and gave her a solemn nod . Xu Yajuan took a deep breath, “A lot of us who are single, like me, will stay in the hostel rooms and rarely go out . ” Ye Shaoyang then whispered his plan to Xu Yajuan . She nodded as she listened to his plan . “But I thought you said that you can’t do anything even if you know the underworld midwife captures a soul in the labor room . ” “I can’t do anything because I can’t differentiate the underworld midwife from others if she mixes in a group of people . Now, I’m trying to find her out with this new idea, then I’ll…” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “It’s still early . Let’s go to the labor room . ” Xu Yajuan informed the matron that Ye Shaoyang planned to pay a visit to the labor room . The matron did not ask further due to Director Zheng’s order to cooperate . She told Xu Yajuan to escort him . Ye Shaoyang asked Xiao Ma to stay . Then, he followed Xu Yajuan to visit every patient in the labor room . They walked and did not talk . Ye Shaoyang pretended to look at the faces of those mothers-to-be inadvertently and exited their rooms . There were five labor rooms in total . In each labor room, there were three beds . Currently, fifteen pregnant women were waiting to go into labor . Ye Shaoyang had seen the thirteen of them, which left the two pregnant women who had gone to the toilet . “How’s it?” Xu Yajuan hurriedly asked once she and Ye Shaoyang reached the stairs . Ye Shaoyang shook his head . Before he could answer Xu Yajuan, he saw two pregnant women come out from a toilet . He stared at one of them with his eyes wide open . He gazed after the two pregnant women who went into the labor room . Then, he lowered his voice and spoke to Xu Yajuan, “It’s one of them . ” Xu Yajuan asked, “Which one?” “The pregnant woman with the yellow t-shirt . ” Xu Yajuan paused for a while before she continued, “Her name is Shao Juan . The other pregnant woman beside her is Zhou Xiaona . It’s such a coincidence . Both of them are going for cesarean sections tomorrow at the same time . ” “Did they purposely schedule the operations on the same day?” asked Ye Shaoyang . “Yes, they’re friends . They got pregnant at almost the same time . They purposely stayed in the same labor room and promised to get their cesarean sections together . They said the first baby born would be the big brother or big sister . ” Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Are you helping them deliver tomorrow?” “I’m helping with Zhou Xiaona’s,” Xu Yajuan let out a breath of relief, “Luckily I’m not helping with Shao Juan’s . I’m afraid I’ll be too nervous during the operation because I already know the truth . ” When Xu Yajuan said that, she frowned and held Ye Shaoyang’s arm, “Big Brother Shaoyang, Shao Juan is a good person . She even ordered food to be delivered to me during my night shift . You must save her and her baby . ” Ye Shaoyang nodded but did not say a word .

Within the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Thearch occupied a larger part of it, so how much remained for the Ancient Gods?\nEvery additional one was a pound of flesh from them!\nEven with a slight difference in the portion of natural source, the discrepancy in abilities was as great as the distance between the heavens and the earth. This was something that absolutely could not be given up.\nFurthermore, there were superior seeds for cultivating Ancient Gods within the Heavenly Court, so why would an unknown person of mysterious origins be needed?\n“I must investigate the origins of this God!”\nThe Heaven Supervisor Commissioner waved his hand and a Divine Dao screen was instantly created. Inside were lifelike images of Fang Yuan’s facial features and even his personality traits.\nAt the same time, inside the palaces of various Heaven Supervisor Deputy Commissioner, this picture scroll also appeared. The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner’s oracle arrived, “All subordinates, comb everywhere below the heavens and find traces of this God!”\n“Yes!”\nNumerous replies came and the machinery that was the entire Heavenly Court started operating. The impact created was horrifying.\nVarious Gods performed their own roles, forming an elaborate network, and nothing in the Spiritual Realm could be missed.\nIn the Spiritual Realm, a person’s life or death was all related to the Divine Dao.\nEven mountain demons, souls, and living spirits could not escape this supervision.\nThe Heaven Supervisor Commissioner was confident that before this God could enlist into the Heavenly Court, everything about them would be revealed to him! …\nSurging Waves River, the River Earl Palace.\n“So, what’s above Heaven Immortal is Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal has immortality and his essence is at the origin power realm. Ancient Gods of the Divine Dao only obtain a small amount of natural source, while Golden Immortals refine droplets of Spiritual Realm origin power and can fight without boundaries. Above Golden Immortal is Zenith Heaven!”\nFang Yuan held a jade letter and nodded repeatedly while reading it.\nThis was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s cultivation technique, Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic. It spoke of cultivation to Heaven Immortal and even briefly described the realms after, causing Fang Yuan to treasure this valuable item.\nAfter annihilating the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, nothing else caught his attention except for their book collection, which he carried back.\nFang Yuan shook his head and peered into his sea of consciousness.\nInside his sea of consciousness, a green Heavenly Edict that suppressed everything was the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River.\nCompared to it, the River Earl Deity Position of the Surging Waves River was made to wither on one side in grief, like a bullied, diffident wife.\n“In fact, with just the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River, I’m still unable to unleash the pinnacle abilities of Heaven Immortal. However, the mutual augmentation of the other two Heavenly Edicts is already sufficient!”\nFang Yuan muttered in a low voice and looked at his stats window. “Name: Fang Yuan\nEssence: ???\nQi: ???\nSpirit: ???\n“I’ve finished recovering, and my abilities have finally reached my peak!” Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly. “Unfortunately… in the Spiritual Realm, my origin power realm peak is only comparable to Golden Immortal and Ancient God. Although I can move about anywhere, if I jump around too excitedly, I’ll still be killed with a slap!\n“Furthermore, the Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic has no cultivation techniques for Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven… Seems like these techniques only exist within the 33 large sects and are the true cultivation techniques!”\nCurrently, his realm was Golden Immortal. If he wanted to break through, he did not have much confidence as he could not clearly see the path in front of him.\nHowever, the Dao paths in this realm gave him a lot of inspiration.\nPreviously, Fang Yuan had sought cultivation techniques to improve the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique. Naturally, he did not want to convert and cultivate the Immortal Dao, but instead he wanted to use it to deduce the method of becoming a Zenith Heaven as a Dream Master.\n“My Dao of Dream Master is the Dao of Creation… I have already created the Body of Origin Power that is comparable to Golden Immortal, perhaps slightly stronger? However, what kind of realm is Zenith Heaven?”\nThe strongest within the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect was a Heaven Immortal, so he still had some guesses and deductions regarding Golden Immortal. However, Zenith Heaven was just a dry name that made Fang Yuan extremely clueless and frustrated.\n“The Immortal Dao’s Zenith Heaven should be similar to the Divine Dao’s Emperor. There should be only a few existences like that… but to peep at their foundations is really difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!”\nFang Yuan shook his head and browsed through all the Mental Demon Realm characters that he had encountered.\nAlthough he had not gone to the Mental Demon Realm before, he had already made three enemies.\nAmong them, Hades and Shang Hou’s true physical body, whom he had both met in the Terra World, were roughly at the Golden Immortal realm and on par with his current state. If he were to fight them, it would be difficult to determine the winner.\nWith his current knowledge, he still could not make sense of that unknown existence who had stolen the Dream Master Dao path, only guessing that he was in the Zenith Heaven realm.\nAs for the profound mysteries of this realm, he really had no idea about them.\n“However, no matter what, I need to conceal myself in the purple battlefield and devour the Mental Demon origin power… So what I don’t understand Zenith Heaven? At most, I just need to forcibly break the rules! With power, I can naturally break through to that realm, or perhaps first cultivate the Body of Origin Power to its pinnacle!”\nAlthough the Dao of Creation’s capacity was great, Fang Yuan was not someone rash.\n“Regarding the Immortal Dao, I need to seek more advanced cultivation techniques. For the Divine Dao, I need to discover the mysteries of the Emperor! But in fact, an Ancient God’s magical powers lies within their heaven and earth position and their portion of natural source! According to my conjecture, the Emperor merely has more portions…”\nFang Yuan sighed.\nPerhaps, this could be considered an advantage of the Divine Dao. Due to its reliance on the realm, they did not need to worry about the problem of cultivation techniques and could directly advance by relying on origin power.\nOf course, the disadvantages of doing so would be a complete reliance on the realm and ultimately becoming its guard dog.\nThis was similar to Sun God Ramon of the Monger World. Although he seemed magnificent, he still had to listen to the world should it decide to sacrifice him!\n“It seems that perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the Immortal Dao?”\nFang Yuan sat cross-legged and opened up his deity territory.\nThree silhouettes were immediately projected. They were the three Heaven Immortals being held hostage!\nIn the war of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, Heaven Immortals Ye Jun and Hui Hai were naturally killed and the sect was annihilated. However, these three helpers were retained by Fang Yuan.\nCurrently, water chains encircled their bodies and three huge mountain illusions were pressing down on them, completely sealing them from using any powers.\n“Good tactic, Lord!” The two Heaven Immortals, Zhong Shan and Zhong Li, finally recognized reality, not having an ounce of arrogance. “Why did you capture us?”\nFang Yuan had already killed the three Heaven Immortals from the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and would certainly not hesitate to kill a few more. Thus, they could only admit defeat.\n“You could have ended this long ago!” Fang Yuan waved his hand. “In fact… I’m also a victim! Everything is the fault of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. If they didn’t plot against me first and gathered forces to attack me, why would I find trouble with them?”\nNow that the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has been annihilated, yet you remain unscathed, who would believe you?\nThe three Heaven Immortals rolled their eyes but still understood the principle of being humble while trapped in an inferior position, continuing to listen to Fang Yuan.\n“… I unintentionally became enemies with the Immortal Dao. So, as long as you testify that it was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect that first plotted against the Divine Dao, I will spare your lives!”\nAlthough he already had evidence in his hands, the Immortal Dao would be further rendered speechless with the addition of these statements from their own.\n“The winner is king. Sure!” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly closed her eyes and was first to concede. “I swear upon my Dao Heart that if I go against my vow, Mental Demons will definitely break out and I’ll die without a doubt!”\nAn oath sworn upon the Dao Heart of an Immortal Cultivator had similar effectiveness as the heaven and earth oath sworn by the Divine Dao. Seeing this, the other two Heaven Immortals could only take their oaths.\n“Fine!”\nFang Yuan stroked his palms as he smiled.\n“We’ve already pledged, so when will you release us?” Heaven Immortal Zhong Shan asked with a trace of hope and a downtrodden look on his face. “Do you still want to hold us captive until the Heavenly Court’s person arrives?”\n“I only mentioned the price of letting you live, not the price of holding you captive, right?” Fang Yuan said. “Testify for me and I won’t kill you. If you pass me the ancient books of your sect, I’ll release you!” “The sect’s ancient books?”\nThe Heaven Immortals looked at each other. “You still want to walk on the path of the Immortal Dao? But if we pass you the fundamental cultivation techniques, we’ll become sinners of our sect!”\n“Sinners will be sinners.

After all, their lives were in Fang Yuan’s hands.\n“Okay… I can give you the fundamental cultivation techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect!”\nHeaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly had already knelt once, and now, she made another decision without too much consideration.\nThis was also within Fang Yuan’s expectations.\nAfter all, giving a book with Heaven Immortal cultivation techniques was completely different from cultivating to become a Heaven Immortal.\nIf he killed the three Heaven Immortals here, even if there were cultivation techniques and resources back at their sects, there still might not be an Earth Immortal able to break through.\nWhich was more important? These Heaven Immortals were naturally able to distinguish clearly.\nIf not for them, it was possible for the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect to be extinguished just like the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect.

天地神位，比天庭册封更加正统，契合天意。 因此，那些自然造化而成的神明，就远比香火之神更容易悟透古神的门槛，获得天地位格，本源份额，从此与天同寿。 此时，监天正使观察方元，也有了这方面的趋势，立即就要打断。 毕竟，天意放出给神道的本源份额本来就有限，天庭当中天帝又占掉大头，剩下给古神的，还有多少？ 每多一尊，就是在祂们身上割肉放血！ 本源份额，差之毫厘，实力便如天地之距，那是一丝一毫都不能让的。 再说，即使栽培古神，自有天庭优良种子，何必要外面的来历不明者？ “此神来历，必须查明！” 监天正使一扬手，一道神道图像当即生成，里面是方元的五官相貌，连气质都是栩栩如生。 与此同时，诸多监天副使的宫阙当中，这道画卷同样浮现，随之而来的，还有监天正使的神谕：“所有下属，穷搜天下，获得此神踪迹！” “诺！” 大量回应浮现，整个天庭机械运转起来，所造成的影响是可怕而恐怖的。 诸多神祗各司其职，组成了一张详尽的网络，任何灵界的蛛丝马迹都不可能被错过。 在灵界，一个人的生老病死，都与神道有关。 甚至，连山精妖魅，化外生灵，都逃脱不了监控。 监天正使有着自信，在那尊神祗被征召上天之前，有关对方的一切信息，就会尽数摆在自己面前！ 沧浪江，河伯行宫之内。 “原来天仙之上，便是金仙，金仙证就不朽，实质便是源力境界，神道中古神不过获得微末的本源份额，而金仙却是炼化了点滴灵界源力，是以能够外出作战，至于金仙之上，便是大罗！” 方元手上拿着一份由美玉串联成的书简，看得连连点头。 这是灵飞剑宗的镇派功法——《妙羽灵剑经》，能修炼到天仙之境，甚至对于后面的境界都有略微描述，让方元如获至宝。 剿灭灵飞剑宗，他其余东西根本看不上，倒是将对方的整个典藏阁搬了回来。 方元摇摇头，内视识海。 在他识海之内，一张青色的神敕居中，镇压一切，赫然是山水君的神位。 与它相比，掌握八百里沧浪江的河伯神职，却是委委屈屈地缩在一边，宛若个受气的小媳妇。 而除了这两尊神位之外，在方元识海当中，还镇压着一尊神位，便是天庭所封的明玉君！ “实际上，光凭借山水君的神位，我还未必能发挥天仙巅峰的实力，但两尊青色神敕相加，却是足够了！” 精：？ 气：？ 修为：？ “没有了恢复中的状态，我的实力终于到了巅峰！” 方元握紧拳头：“可惜……在灵界当中，巅峰时期的源力境界，也就金仙和古神位阶，虽然什么地方都可以抖一抖，但真正蹦达得太欢快，还是会被一掌拍死！” “并且，《妙羽灵剑经》当中，也没有金仙与大罗的功法……看来此等法门，只存在与三十三大派内，是真正的神功典籍！” 他此时的境界是金仙，而再想突破，却没有多少把握，因为看不清前面的路。 但这个世界的道路，却能给他不少启迪。 方元之前寻找功法，完善元灵养气术，自然不是为了转修仙道，而是借鉴学习，推演出梦师的大罗之法。 “我的梦师之道，即是造化之道……此时已经铸就源力之体，相当于金仙，或许比金仙略强一点？ 但大罗，又是何等的境界呢？” 灵飞剑宗的最强者是天仙，因此对于金仙境界还有一些猜测与推演，但大罗之境，就真的只有一个名词，干巴巴的，让方元十分郁闷。 “仙道大罗，应当就是神道帝君之位，此等存在，整个灵界都不一定有几尊……想要窥视他们的根底，难！ 难！ 方元摇摇头，又将之前自己所见过的心魔界人物梳理了一遍。 他虽然未去过心魔界，但不多不少，敌人已经结了三家。 其中，灵界所见的黑帝斯，与那殇侯本体，大致就是金仙境界，与他此时等同，遇到了开打还不知道鹿死谁手。 而那个剥夺梦师道路的不可名状之存在，饶是以他此时的见识，还是有些看不懂，只能猜测是大罗之境。 至于此境界的奥秘如何，当真是一点都不知晓。 “不过无论如何，我都要潜伏入紫青战场之中，吞噬心魔源力……哪怕悟不通大罗又如何？ 大不了以力破巧！ 虽然造化之道的承载力很大，但方元终究不是莽撞之人。 “仙道方面，还是要搜集高深的功法典籍，神道方面，也需要打探帝君之秘！ 但实际上，古神神通，在于天地位格，本源份额！ 方元不由叹息。 这或许也算神道的好处，因为依托世界，根本不用担心功法境界什么的问题，直接靠着源力顶上去。 当然，这么做的弊端就是完全倚赖世界，最后成为了守门之犬。 就跟蒙格世界的太阳神拉蒙没有什么两样，虽然看似风光无比，但什么时候世界要你牺牲，你就得顶上去！ “看来，或许重点应该放在仙道当中？” 方元盘膝而坐，打开神域。 三道身影顿时被摄来，赫然是之前被俘虏的三大天仙！ 灵飞剑宗之战，夜君与灰亥天仙自然随手诛杀，宗门灭绝，但这三个助拳之辈，还是被方元留了下来。 此时，他们身上都萦绕着水流组成的锁链，三座大山虚影压顶，任凭什么滔天神通都无法施展。 “阁下当真是好手段！” 钟山、钟离两大天仙终于认清现实，再也没有了丝毫傲气：“不知留下我们，所为何事？” 方元连灵飞剑宗三尊天仙都灭了，必然不会在意多饶上几个，因此他们相当光棍地认输。 方元摆摆手：“实际上……我也是受害者啊！ 一切都是灵飞剑宗的错，若它不是谋算在先，又准备集合众人之力攻我，我何必与它为难呢？” ‘现在灵飞剑宗灭门，你倒是毫发无损，说出去谁信？ 三尊天仙翻着白眼，却也知道人在屋檐下的道理，继续听着方元陈述。 “……我无意与仙道为敌，因此，只要你们几个作证，确实是灵飞剑宗故意谋算神道在先，我便饶你们不死！” 虽然手上已经握着不少证据，但若再加上这些自己人的供述，仙道便更加无话可说。 灵蝶天仙闭着眼睛，率先屈服：“我以道心立誓，若有违今日诺言，必心魔发作，死无葬身之地！” 修仙者的道心之誓，与神道天地盟誓拥有差不多的效力，钟铉派两尊天仙见此，也只能发出誓言。 “善！” 方元抚掌，脸上泛起一丝微笑。 “誓言也发了，你何时放了我们？” 钟山天仙脸色灰败，又带着一丝希望地问道：“莫非你还想扣押我们直到天庭来人么？” “我刚才所说的，只是不杀的代价，而俘虏的代价呢？” 方元道：“为我作证，我不杀你等，而交出宗门典籍，我便放你等回去！” “宗门典籍？” 几尊天仙面面相觑：“莫非你还想走仙道？ 只是若交出根本功法，我们便是门中罪人啊！” “罪人便罪人，与性命相比，你们应该分得清轻重……更何况，我只是有点研究的兴趣，可以保证，绝不外传的。” 方元上嘴唇一碰下嘴唇，给出一个承诺，却没有丝毫盟誓的想法。 但三尊天仙也只能受着，谁让他们生死都握在别人手中呢。 “罢了……灵蝶宗的根本功法，妾身可以给阁下！” 灵蝶天仙已经跪了一次，现在更是没有多少考虑就做出决定。 而这也在方元预料之中。 毕竟，给一本天仙功法，跟修炼到天仙，完全是两个概念。 若是他在这里将三尊天下辣手干掉，即使门中有着功法与资源，也不一定有着地仙能够突破。 孰轻孰重，这些天仙自然能够分辨清楚。 若是没有他们，说不得背后的钟铉派、灵蝶宗也要跟灵飞剑宗一样被灭门，因此，还是得保全有用之身。 收到赎金之后，方元也没有食言，直接放走了三尊天仙。 钟铉派与灵蝶宗的功法，显然要差灵飞剑宗一筹，但互相增补，倒是可以将金仙阶段推演个大概，至于大罗之境，却依旧毫无进展。
A Deity Position of the heavens and the earth conformed to heaven’s will and was more legitimate than a title conferred by the Heavenly Court. Thus, those Gods naturally created had much greater ease understanding the threshold of Ancient God compared to the Gods relying on incense to obtain a heaven and earth position and a portion of the natural source, thereby gaining the same lifespan as the heavens. Currently, the Heaven Supervisor Commissioner noticed that Fang Yuan also had potential in this aspect and wanted to disrupt it. After all, the portions of natural source released by heaven’s will to the Divine Dao were already limited. Within the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Thearch occupied a larger part of it, so how much remained for the Ancient Gods? Every additional one was a pound of flesh from them! Even with a slight difference in the portion of natural source, the discrepancy in abilities was as great as the distance between the heavens and the earth. This was something that absolutely could not be given up. Furthermore, there were superior seeds for cultivating Ancient Gods within the Heavenly Court, so why would an unknown person of mysterious origins be needed? “I must investigate the origins of this God!” The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner waved his hand and a Divine Dao screen was instantly created. Inside were lifelike images of Fang Yuan’s facial features and even his personality traits. At the same time, inside the palaces of various Heaven Supervisor Deputy Commissioner, this picture scroll also appeared. The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner’s oracle arrived, “All subordinates, comb everywhere below the heavens and find traces of this God!” “Yes!” Numerous replies came and the machinery that was the entire Heavenly Court started operating. The impact created was horrifying. Various Gods performed their own roles, forming an elaborate network, and nothing in the Spiritual Realm could be missed. In the Spiritual Realm, a person’s life or death was all related to the Divine Dao. Even mountain demons, souls, and living spirits could not escape this supervision. The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner was confident that before this God could enlist into the Heavenly Court, everything about them would be revealed to him! … Surging Waves River, the River Earl Palace. “So, what’s above Heaven Immortal is Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal has immortality and his essence is at the origin power realm. Ancient Gods of the Divine Dao only obtain a small amount of natural source, while Golden Immortals refine droplets of Spiritual Realm origin power and can fight without boundaries. Above Golden Immortal is Zenith Heaven!” Fang Yuan held a jade letter and nodded repeatedly while reading it. This was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s cultivation technique, Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic. It spoke of cultivation to Heaven Immortal and even briefly described the realms after, causing Fang Yuan to treasure this valuable item. After annihilating the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, nothing else caught his attention except for their book collection, which he carried back. Fang Yuan shook his head and peered into his sea of consciousness. Inside his sea of consciousness, a green Heavenly Edict that suppressed everything was the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River. Compared to it, the River Earl Deity Position of the Surging Waves River was made to wither on one side in grief, like a bullied, diffident wife. “In fact, with just the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River, I’m still unable to unleash the pinnacle abilities of Heaven Immortal. However, the mutual augmentation of the other two Heavenly Edicts is already sufficient!” Fang Yuan muttered in a low voice and looked at his stats window. “Name: Fang Yuan Essence: ??? Qi: ??? Spirit: ??? “I’ve finished recovering, and my abilities have finally reached my peak!” Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly. “Unfortunately… in the Spiritual Realm, my origin power realm peak is only comparable to Golden Immortal and Ancient God. Although I can move about anywhere, if I jump around too excitedly, I’ll still be killed with a slap! “Furthermore, the Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic has no cultivation techniques for Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven… Seems like these techniques only exist within the 33 large sects and are the true cultivation techniques!” Currently, his realm was Golden Immortal. If he wanted to break through, he did not have much confidence as he could not clearly see the path in front of him. However, the Dao paths in this realm gave him a lot of inspiration. Previously, Fang Yuan had sought cultivation techniques to improve the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique. Naturally, he did not want to convert and cultivate the Immortal Dao, but instead he wanted to use it to deduce the method of becoming a Zenith Heaven as a Dream Master. “My Dao of Dream Master is the Dao of Creation… I have already created the Body of Origin Power that is comparable to Golden Immortal, perhaps slightly stronger? However, what kind of realm is Zenith Heaven?” The strongest within the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect was a Heaven Immortal, so he still had some guesses and deductions regarding Golden Immortal. However, Zenith Heaven was just a dry name that made Fang Yuan extremely clueless and frustrated. “The Immortal Dao’s Zenith Heaven should be similar to the Divine Dao’s Emperor. There should be only a few existences like that… but to peep at their foundations is really difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!” Fang Yuan shook his head and browsed through all the Mental Demon Realm characters that he had encountered. Although he had not gone to the Mental Demon Realm before, he had already made three enemies. Among them, Hades and Shang Hou’s true physical body, whom he had both met in the Terra World, were roughly at the Golden Immortal realm and on par with his current state. If he were to fight them, it would be difficult to determine the winner. With his current knowledge, he still could not make sense of that unknown existence who had stolen the Dream Master Dao path, only guessing that he was in the Zenith Heaven realm. As for the profound mysteries of this realm, he really had no idea about them. “However, no matter what, I need to conceal myself in the purple battlefield and devour the Mental Demon origin power… So what I don’t understand Zenith Heaven? At most, I just need to forcibly break the rules! With power, I can naturally break through to that realm, or perhaps first cultivate the Body of Origin Power to its pinnacle!” Although the Dao of Creation’s capacity was great, Fang Yuan was not someone rash. “Regarding the Immortal Dao, I need to seek more advanced cultivation techniques. For the Divine Dao, I need to discover the mysteries of the Emperor! But in fact, an Ancient God’s magical powers lies within their heaven and earth position and their portion of natural source! According to my conjecture, the Emperor merely has more portions…” Fang Yuan sighed. Perhaps, this could be considered an advantage of the Divine Dao. Due to its reliance on the realm, they did not need to worry about the problem of cultivation techniques and could directly advance by relying on origin power. Of course, the disadvantages of doing so would be a complete reliance on the realm and ultimately becoming its guard dog. This was similar to Sun God Ramon of the Monger World. Although he seemed magnificent, he still had to listen to the world should it decide to sacrifice him! “It seems that perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the Immortal Dao?” Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and opened up his deity territory. Three silhouettes were immediately projected. They were the three Heaven Immortals being held hostage! In the war of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, Heaven Immortals Ye Jun and Hui Hai were naturally killed and the sect was annihilated. However, these three helpers were retained by Fang Yuan. Currently, water chains encircled their bodies and three huge mountain illusions were pressing down on them, completely sealing them from using any powers. “Good tactic, Lord!” The two Heaven Immortals, Zhong Shan and Zhong Li, finally recognized reality, not having an ounce of arrogance. “Why did you capture us?” Fang Yuan had already killed the three Heaven Immortals from the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and would certainly not hesitate to kill a few more. Thus, they could only admit defeat. “You could have ended this long ago!” Fang Yuan waved his hand. “In fact… I’m also a victim! Everything is the fault of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. If they didn’t plot against me first and gathered forces to attack me, why would I find trouble with them?” Now that the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has been annihilated, yet you remain unscathed, who would believe you? The three Heaven Immortals rolled their eyes but still understood the principle of being humble while trapped in an inferior position, continuing to listen to Fang Yuan. “… I unintentionally became enemies with the Immortal Dao. So, as long as you testify that it was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect that first plotted against the Divine Dao, I will spare your lives!” Although he already had evidence in his hands, the Immortal Dao would be further rendered speechless with the addition of these statements from their own. “The winner is king. Sure!” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly closed her eyes and was first to concede. “I swear upon my Dao Heart that if I go against my vow, Mental Demons will definitely break out and I’ll die without a doubt!” An oath sworn upon the Dao Heart of an Immortal Cultivator had similar effectiveness as the heaven and earth oath sworn by the Divine Dao. Seeing this, the other two Heaven Immortals could only take their oaths. “Fine!” Fang Yuan stroked his palms as he smiled. “We’ve already pledged, so when will you release us?” Heaven Immortal Zhong Shan asked with a trace of hope and a downtrodden look on his face. “Do you still want to hold us captive until the Heavenly Court’s person arrives?” “I only mentioned the price of letting you live, not the price of holding you captive, right?” Fang Yuan said. “Testify for me and I won’t kill you. If you pass me the ancient books of your sect, I’ll release you!” “The sect’s ancient books?” The Heaven Immortals looked at each other. “You still want to walk on the path of the Immortal Dao? But if we pass you the fundamental cultivation techniques, we’ll become sinners of our sect!” “Sinners will be sinners. Compared to your lives, you should be able to distinguish what is more important… Furthermore, I only have some investigative curiosity and can promise you that I won’t leak them.” Fang Yuan pressed his lips together and made a promise, but did not have any desire at all to swear an oath. However, the three Heaven Immortals could only tolerate it. After all, their lives were in Fang Yuan’s hands. “Okay… I can give you the fundamental cultivation techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect!” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly had already knelt once, and now, she made another decision without too much consideration. This was also within Fang Yuan’s expectations. After all, giving a book with Heaven Immortal cultivation techniques was completely different from cultivating to become a Heaven Immortal. If he killed the three Heaven Immortals here, even if there were cultivation techniques and resources back at their sects, there still might not be an Earth Immortal able to break through. Which was more important? These Heaven Immortals were naturally able to distinguish clearly. If not for them, it was possible for the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect to be extinguished just like the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. Thus, they had to protect it from harm. After receiving the ransom, Fang Yuan did not break his promise and directly released them. The cultivation techniques of the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect were evidently inferior to the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s by a notch. However, they complimented each other and he was able to roughly deduce the Golden Immortal stage. As for the Zenith Heaven realm, there was still no progress at all.

He was dressed in a formal black suit and a halved top hat. He held a gold-inlaid wooden cane and his short blond hair flared from the sides. His nose was aquiline like a hawk’s beak.\nAnna’s fiancé… The Joyce Meyer that went through a terrifying ordeal. Klein, who had seen him in his dream divination, immediately greeted with a smile, “Good afternoon, Mister Meyer.”\n“Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti.” Joyce took off his hat and bowed in greeting. “Thank you for the advice you gave Anna. She cannot stop praising how miraculous you are.”\nAfter the exchange of pleasantries, Klein could not help but lampoon inwardly.\nDoes this count as mutual professional bootlicking?\n“In all honesty, I still find my coming back alive a dream. I still cannot believe that I survived wave after wave of terrifying ordeals.” Joyce shook his head wistfully.\nWithout waiting for Klein’s reply, he asked curiously, “You knew who I was the moment you saw me. Was that because of my unique nose, or because you divined that I would visit you?”\n“I had your detailed information. That is enough for a seer,” Klein answered vaguely, behaving like how a charlatan would.\n“Mr. Moretti, I wish to request a divination from you.”\nMr. Klein Moretti had addressed himself as a seer, not a fortune-teller. A seer!\n“Alright, let us head to Topaz.” Klein gestured.\nAt that moment, he felt as though he should have worn a long black robe. He tried to keep his words to a minimum to accentuate the mystique of a seer.\nJoyce Meyer locked the door behind him after entering the divination room. While he observed his surroundings, Klein seized the opportunity to tap his glabella twice and activated his Spirit Vision.\nJoyce sat down and set his cane down beside him. He pulled on his black bow tie and said hoarsely, “Mr. Moretti, I wish for you to interpret my dream.”\n“Dream interpretation?” Klein acted as though it was within his expectations, but was merely asking for confirmation.\nHe saw that the colors representing Joyce’s health were dull, but none of them signified an impending illness. The colors symbolizing his emotions were predominantly blue, and its darkness showed that he was obviously high strung.\n“I have had the same horrific dream every night ever since the Alfalfa arrived at Enmat Harbor. I know that this could be associated with the trauma of the ordeal and that I should go see a psychiatrist, but I suspect that this is no ordinary dream. A normal dream would definitely have some details that are different even if they recur every night, but this dream is, at the very least, constant in the parts which I can recall.”\n“To a seer, these kinds of dreams are seen as revelations given by the divine,” Klein said, half consoling and half explaining. “Can you describe the dream to me?”\nJoyce clenched his fists and up to his. He thought deep for a moment before saying, “I dreamed that I was falling from the Alfalfa into the ocean. The ocean was dark red, as if it was filled with rotting blood.\n“As I fell, I was grabbed by a person on the boat. I could not identify him, but I know that he was very strong.\n“And I was also holding onto a person in an attempt to save him from falling into the sea. I know that person. He was a passenger of the Alfalfa, Younis Kim.\n“Because of his weight and his struggling, I could not bear the weight and could only release my hands and watch him get devoured by the sea of blood.\n“At that moment, the person above me also released his hand. I flailed my arms, hoping to grab onto something, but there was nothing. I could only plummet rapidly.\n“Then I wake up in horror, sweat covering my back and forehead.”\nKlein held his forehead and gently rapped it as though he was thinking. He then organized his words and said, “Mr. Meyer, nightmares, similar nightmares, and repeated nightmares, these are all psychological problems and have a corresponding source. The same nightmare recurring time and time again is a reminder from your spirituality. It is also a revelation given to you by the divine.”\n“I do not know what exactly happened on the Alfalfa, but I can see that it was a tragedy of blood and steel. It has left a deep trauma in you.”\nSeeing Joyce nod slightly, Klein continued, “You must have been very horrified, very fearful on the ship. It is easy for a person to lose their observational skills when overwhelmed by such intense emotions; thus missing signs that they should not have been missed. This does not mean that you have not seen those signs, but you have disregarded them, you understand? Disregarded.\n“In your subconscious, in your spirituality, the details that you have missed are present all the same. If the thing that the detail is pointing toward is important enough, then your spirituality will remind you in the form of a dream.”\n“Did Mister Younis Kim, who you let fall into the sea of blood, requested you of something on the boat, but was ultimately unable to escape his fate?”\n“Yes, but I do not pity him. Perhaps a few days or a week from now, you will see in the newspapers how cruel and evil he was. He raped and murdered at least three ladies and tossed a baby into the raging sea. He also led a bunch of savages who had lost their rationality and brutally massacred the passengers and crew of the boat.\n“He was scheming, strong, and evil. I did not dare, nor could I stop him. I would only have forfeited my life.”\n“I am not doubting what you did,” Klein said, making clear his stand. Then he explained, “But your dream is telling me that you are feeling regret and sorry. You believe that you should not have released your hand back then. Since you believe that killing him was an act of justice, then why are you feeling regret and sorry for it, so much so that you have recurring dreams about you releasing your hand?”\n“I don’t know either…” Joyce shook his head, confused.\n“Incorporating what I just described, it seems you have missed certain details. For instance, anything that Younis Kim mentioned, his contents of his plea, the way he presented himself, et cetera. I cannot recall the incident for you, so please think about it carefully.”\n“There’s nothing… All he could say back then was ‘spare me, I surrender’…” Joyce muttered in puzzlement.\n“Perhaps you felt that Younis Kim was more useful alive, that he could prove something or to explain something?”\nKlein suddenly had a stroke of inspiration after hearing Joyce’s dreamy description. He spoke mysteriously with a tone unique to charlatan’s. “No, that’s not the only reason.”\n“What?” Joyce seemed shocked.\n“Not only did you find the matter abnormal, but you also saw some things that you disregarded. And putting together these things that you disregarded results in a terrifying conclusion.\n“Your spirituality is telling you that there is someone who should be under the highest suspicion. And that person is the one who had grabbed you but ultimately released his hand in the dream. You do not suspect him subconsciously, and thus you are unable identify him. He is your partner. He once had control over your fate, or maybe, even saved you before!”\nJoyce leaned back suddenly, slamming into the back of the chair with a dull thud.\nHis forehead slowly became laced with sweat, his eyes filled with confusion.\nJoyce suddenly stood up noisily, causing his chair to wobble and nearly fall.\nHe was a friendly and bashful little boy with a round face. He was the hero that saved the survivors…\nKlein did not interrupt Joyce’s thoughts. He leaned back slightly and waited.\nJoyce’s expression changed several times, finally returning to normal, a normal that had a little paleness.\n“I understand now. Thank you for interpreting my dream. Perhaps it is time for me to make a trip to the police station.”\nHe took out his leather wallet and fished out a one-soli note.\n“I do not think that money can fully represent your worth, and I can only give you the price you asked for. This is for you.” Joyce pushed the note toward Klein.\nKlein kept up his mysterious vibe as a charlatan and said nothing, smiling as he pressed on the note.\nJoyce took a deep breath, wore his hat, and turned to walk toward the door.\n“Thank you, Master Moretti.”\nMaster?\nAudrey, who woke up earlier, beckoned her golden retriever Susie over. She said with a serious tone, “Susie, you are also a Beyonder now. We are the same kind, ew—no, what I mean is that we have to help each other. Guard the door later and don’t let anyone disturb me. I have to conduct a ritual.”\nSusie looked at her mistress and shook her tail in exasperation." } ]
第六十三章 前行几步，克莱恩看到了来占卜的客人，他身穿黑色正装，手拿镶金木杖，头戴半高礼帽，金色的短发从边缘顽强露出，鼻尖微弯，仿佛老鹰的嘴喙。 “下午好，迈尔先生。” “下午好，莫雷蒂先生。” 乔伊斯取下礼帽，弯腰行礼，“感谢您对安娜的指点，她一直都在称赞您的神奇，几乎停不了嘴。” “我什么也没有改变，该感谢的是你自己，没有坚韧的意志和对美好的向往，是无法战胜那些厄难的。” 这算是商业互吹了吧？ “坦白地讲，我对自己能活着回来依旧感觉梦幻，依旧不敢相信自己能闯过那一场又一场的厄难。” 乔伊斯感慨摇头。 “您刚才一看见我，就知道了我是谁，是我的鼻子太有特点的原因，还是您提前占卜到了我的拜访？” “我有你的详细资料，对占卜家来说，这就足够了。” 克莱恩故意含糊回答，摆出神棍的样子。 “莫雷蒂先生，我想请您占卜。” 克莱恩.莫雷蒂先生自称占卜家，而不是占卜师，占卜者！ “好的，我们到黄水晶房。” 克莱恩做了个请的手势。 这个时候，他莫名觉得自己该穿一身黑色长袍，话语尽量不要多，以体现占卜家的神秘。 进了占卜房，乔伊斯.迈尔主动反锁住木门，并观察了周围环境，而克莱恩趁这个机会，悄然捏了眉心两下，开启了灵视。 “莫雷蒂先生，我想请您解梦。” 克莱恩保持着一切都在预料之中的状态，确认般反问了一句。 他看见乔伊斯的健康颜色有不同程度的黯淡，但都还没达到疾病的程度，情绪颜色则以思考的蓝色为主，而它深暗得透出明显紧绷。 “从苜蓿号抵达恩马特港开始，我每晚都在做同一个梦，梦里充满了恐惧，我知道，这或许是厄难留给我的阴影，我应该去看心理医生，但我怀疑那不是正常的梦，正常的梦即使每晚重复，也肯定会有细节的不同，而这个梦，至少我记得的部分，从来没有发生过变化。” “对占卜家而言，类似的梦都属于神灵给予的‘启示’。” 克莱恩半是宽慰半是解释地说道，“你能将梦境详细描述一遍吗？” “我梦见我从苜蓿号上跌落，跌向海洋，那海洋是深红色的，如同腐朽的血液。” “在我坠落的时候，我被船上的人拉住了，我看不清楚他的样子，只知道他的力气很大。” “而我也同样拉着一个人，试图避免他坠海的结局，这个人我认识，他是苜蓿号的乘客，尤尼斯.金。” “因为他的重量，因为他的挣扎，我再也无法承受，只能松开手，看着他哀嚎着坠入血色的海洋。” “就在这个时候，我上面的那位也松开了手，我挥舞着双臂，想要抓到什么，可什么都没有抓住，整个人开始急速坠落。” “再之后，我就会惊恐地醒来，背后和额头全都是汗水。” “迈尔先生，单纯的噩梦，相似的噩梦，连续的噩梦，属于心理上的问题，有对应的根源，而同样的噩梦反复出现，则是你灵性对你的提醒，也是神灵给予的启示。” “不要怀疑，普通人的灵性也会给予自身一定的提醒。” “我不知道苜蓿号上具体发生了什么，但看得出来，它是一场以血与铁为主角的悲剧，给你留下了很深很深的阴影。” “在船上时，你肯定很恐惧，你很害怕，而这种极端的情绪里，人类非常容易失去观察力，忽略许多不该忽略的细节，但这并不表示你没有看到它们，只是忽略了，明白吗？ 忽略了。” “在你的潜意识里，在你的灵性之中，被忽略的细节依旧存在，如果它指向的事情足够重要，那你的灵性就会提醒你，以梦境的方式。” “那位因你松手而坠入血色海洋的尤尼斯.金先生，是不是在船上祈求过你，但依旧没能逃脱宿命的结局？” “是的，但我并不同情他，也许几天，也许一周以后，您就能从报纸上看到他是一个多么残忍多么让人憎恨的恶棍，他强暴并杀害了至少三位女士，将一个婴儿丢入了狂暴海里，并领着一群失去理性的野兽，大肆屠杀乘客和船员。” “他是狡诈的，强壮的，邪恶的，我不敢也不能停手，那会葬送我的性命。” 克莱恩先给出态度，然后才解释道，“只是你的梦境告诉我，你在后悔，在遗憾，认为自己不该松手。 既然你认为杀掉他是一件正义的事情，那为什么会后悔和遗憾，以至于反复梦到松手的画面？” “我也不知道……”乔伊斯迷茫摇头。 “结合我刚才的描述，你是否在这件事情上忽略了什么，比如尤尼斯.金提到的事情，哀求的内容，展现的姿态，等等，等等，我无法代替你回忆，请你好好思考。” “没有……他当时只来得及说一声‘饶过我，我投降’……”乔伊斯满是疑惑地自语道。 “那是否你认为尤尼斯.金活下来更有用，能证明一些事情，能解释一些事情？” “不，不只是这样。” “什么？” 乔伊斯仿佛吓了一跳。 “你不只认为这件事情不正常，你还看到了一些被你忽略的事情，而这些被忽略的事情串连起来，可以推导出一个可怕的结论。” “于是，你的灵性告诉你，有个人具备很大的嫌疑，也就是梦里拉住你，但最终放开了手的那位，你下意识不去怀疑他，所以看不见他的样子，他是你的同伴，他曾经主宰过你的生死，或者说，救过你！” 乔伊斯霍然后靠，撞得椅背发出闷响。 他额头慢慢泌出汗水，眼神里充满混乱。 哐当，乔伊斯猛地站起，让高背椅摇摇晃晃，险些倒下。 “特里斯先生……”他用尽全身力气般说出了一个名字。 克莱恩没去打扰对方，向后微靠，静静等待。 乔伊斯的脸色变幻了几下，最终恢复了正常，带着点苍白的正常。 “我明白了，谢谢您的解梦，或许我得去趟警察局了。” 他拿出皮夹，取了1苏勒的纸币。 “我不认为金钱能体现您的价值，只能按照您确定的价格给予，这是您的报酬。” 乔伊斯将纸币推给了克莱恩。 乔伊斯吸了口气，戴上礼帽，转身走向门口。 “谢谢您，莫雷蒂大师。” 大师？ 周二清晨，贝克兰德，皇后区。 “苏茜，你也是非凡者了，我们是同类，呸，不是，我的意思是，我们必须更好地互相帮助，你等下守住门，不让任何人打扰到我，我要进行一个仪式。” 苏茜看着主人，无奈地摇了下尾巴。
Chapter 63 - Dream Interpretation AtlasStudios Klein proceeded a few steps forward and saw the client. He was dressed in a formal black suit and a halved top hat. He held a gold-inlaid wooden cane and his short blond hair flared from the sides. His nose was aquiline like a hawk’s beak. Anna’s fiancé… The Joyce Meyer that went through a terrifying ordeal. Klein, who had seen him in his dream divination, immediately greeted with a smile, “Good afternoon, Mister Meyer.” “Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti.” Joyce took off his hat and bowed in greeting. “Thank you for the advice you gave Anna. She cannot stop praising how miraculous you are.” After the exchange of pleasantries, Klein could not help but lampoon inwardly. Does this count as mutual professional bootlicking? “In all honesty, I still find my coming back alive a dream. I still cannot believe that I survived wave after wave of terrifying ordeals.” Joyce shook his head wistfully. Without waiting for Klein’s reply, he asked curiously, “You knew who I was the moment you saw me. Was that because of my unique nose, or because you divined that I would visit you?” “I had your detailed information. That is enough for a seer,” Klein answered vaguely, behaving like how a charlatan would. “Mr. Moretti, I wish to request a divination from you.” Mr. Klein Moretti had addressed himself as a seer, not a fortune-teller. A seer! “Alright, let us head to Topaz.” Klein gestured. At that moment, he felt as though he should have worn a long black robe. He tried to keep his words to a minimum to accentuate the mystique of a seer. Joyce Meyer locked the door behind him after entering the divination room. While he observed his surroundings, Klein seized the opportunity to tap his glabella twice and activated his Spirit Vision. Joyce sat down and set his cane down beside him. He pulled on his black bow tie and said hoarsely, “Mr. Moretti, I wish for you to interpret my dream.” “Dream interpretation?” Klein acted as though it was within his expectations, but was merely asking for confirmation. He saw that the colors representing Joyce’s health were dull, but none of them signified an impending illness. The colors symbolizing his emotions were predominantly blue, and its darkness showed that he was obviously high strung. “I have had the same horrific dream every night ever since the Alfalfa arrived at Enmat Harbor. I know that this could be associated with the trauma of the ordeal and that I should go see a psychiatrist, but I suspect that this is no ordinary dream. A normal dream would definitely have some details that are different even if they recur every night, but this dream is, at the very least, constant in the parts which I can recall.” “To a seer, these kinds of dreams are seen as revelations given by the divine,” Klein said, half consoling and half explaining. “Can you describe the dream to me?” Joyce clenched his fists and up to his. He thought deep for a moment before saying, “I dreamed that I was falling from the Alfalfa into the ocean. The ocean was dark red, as if it was filled with rotting blood. “As I fell, I was grabbed by a person on the boat. I could not identify him, but I know that he was very strong. “And I was also holding onto a person in an attempt to save him from falling into the sea. I know that person. He was a passenger of the Alfalfa, Younis Kim. “Because of his weight and his struggling, I could not bear the weight and could only release my hands and watch him get devoured by the sea of blood. “At that moment, the person above me also released his hand. I flailed my arms, hoping to grab onto something, but there was nothing. I could only plummet rapidly. “Then I wake up in horror, sweat covering my back and forehead.” Klein held his forehead and gently rapped it as though he was thinking. He then organized his words and said, “Mr. Meyer, nightmares, similar nightmares, and repeated nightmares, these are all psychological problems and have a corresponding source. The same nightmare recurring time and time again is a reminder from your spirituality. It is also a revelation given to you by the divine.” “I do not know what exactly happened on the Alfalfa, but I can see that it was a tragedy of blood and steel. It has left a deep trauma in you.” Seeing Joyce nod slightly, Klein continued, “You must have been very horrified, very fearful on the ship. It is easy for a person to lose their observational skills when overwhelmed by such intense emotions; thus missing signs that they should not have been missed. This does not mean that you have not seen those signs, but you have disregarded them, you understand? Disregarded. “In your subconscious, in your spirituality, the details that you have missed are present all the same. If the thing that the detail is pointing toward is important enough, then your spirituality will remind you in the form of a dream.” “Did Mister Younis Kim, who you let fall into the sea of blood, requested you of something on the boat, but was ultimately unable to escape his fate?” “Yes, but I do not pity him. Perhaps a few days or a week from now, you will see in the newspapers how cruel and evil he was. He raped and murdered at least three ladies and tossed a baby into the raging sea. He also led a bunch of savages who had lost their rationality and brutally massacred the passengers and crew of the boat. “He was scheming, strong, and evil. I did not dare, nor could I stop him. I would only have forfeited my life.” “I am not doubting what you did,” Klein said, making clear his stand. Then he explained, “But your dream is telling me that you are feeling regret and sorry.

In the starry sky palace, the Patriarchs of the various sects looked on with strange gleams in their eyes. The elder from the Holy Land of the Bones of the Flamedevil chuckled and rose to his feet.\n“Presumably, this young man is not the type to be selected by the Three Great Daoist Societies. This magic is connected by destiny to the Bones of the Flamedevil. Ladies and Gentlemen, I humbly request that you do not compete with me in this matter.” Even as he spoke, the old man moved with incredible speed. However, at the same time, eight or nine other people sped forward.\nOf the Five Great Holy Lands, Wang Youcai and Fatty had been taken by the Moonset Lake and the Paleo-Immortal Mausoleum respectively. Up to now, only the Blue Lotus Sky, Mount Sun, and the Bones of the Flamedevil hadn’t truly made a move. Now, though, they sprang into action.\nIn total, seventeen stone steles appeared!!\nOne more than Wang Youcai!\nEach one of the seventeen stone steles was fully three hundred meters tall, and as they spun around Li Yan, they turned into a vortex that sent light towering up into the sky. Li Yan stood in the middle of it all, surrounded by the boundless glow, looking like an unparalleled Chosen.\nWhen the crowds out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea saw the seventeen stone steles, they were completely shocked.\n“From ancient times until now, he’s second only to Sir Fan!”\n“Seventeen stone steles! He’s definitely worthy to have been enlightened regarding 95 Immortal ruins! He created a body magic that summoned seventeen stone steles!”\n“It’s impossible to predict what kind of future he will have, especially since his cultivation base is at the peak of Dao Seeking. Once he joins a sect, he’ll get some training and will definitely become an incredible Chosen!”\nAll sorts of envious and jealous comments could be heard echoing out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea. In Li Yan’s world, the Patriarchs from the various sects had arrived. After some bickering, the Bones of the Flamedevil managed to recruit Li Yan as a disciple.\nAs of now, the only person left in the world of the sixth, seventh, and eighth stages was Meng Hao. His divine ability had not fully been created yet.\nEveryone was now watching closely, including the Three Great Daoist Societies in the palace up in the starry sky.\nThe anticipation in the air continued to grow more intense.\n“If he can outdo everyone else, then he’ll take first place! Let’s see how many stone steles his divine ability will cause to descend!”\n“He gained enlightenment from 99 Immortal ruins. If he gets anything less than fifteen stone steles, it would be completely disappointing!”\n“It’s hard to say. I heard that one year, somebody gained enlightenment from 98 Immortal ruins, but in the end only created a nine-stele divine ability!”\nThree days later, as Meng Hao sat there cross-legged, his eyes suddenly opened.\n“Each time I gained enlightenment from the first 98 Immortal ruins,” he thought, “I saw images of spirit stones and promissory notes. In the future, I hope to make all the Chosen in the great Nine Mountains and Seas write me promissory notes! “That is my grand aspiration….\n“Writing me a promissory note is also sowing Karma, and those Karma threads can be used to interfere with fate. However, most people aren’t willing to write promissory notes. Therefore… I will create a divine ability that forms ties of destiny with them by force!” Meng Hao’s eyes glittered and he raised his right index finger.\nImmediately, the world began to tremble as countless threads appeared. Some of the threads were bright, and some were dark, but all were Karma Threads, and they did not originate from this world, but from Meng Hao!\nShockingly, just a movement of his finger had caused all of his Karma Threads to become visible. The entire world began to shake even more violently, and roaring filled the air, as if the entire place were about to collapse.\nMeng Hao looked up and gazed at the Karma Threads, and his eyes glittered brightly. He suddenly formed his right hand into a claw, which reached out and grabbed one of the Karma Threads. The instant he touched it, he suddenly saw an image of Fan Dong’er.\nHe yanked on the Thread, and it twisted. At the same time, Meng Hao pulled out a piece of paper. Then, he unhesitatingly caused the Karma Thread to twist into the shape of a magical symbol, which he then imprinted onto the piece of paper.\nAs soon as the mark appeared, Fan Dong’er, who sat cross-legged in meditation in the Nine Seas God World trying to suppress the female corpse on her back, felt a tremor run through her. Her eyes opened wide and then shone with astonishment.\nNext, her face flickered, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. A look of astonishment covered her face.\n“What just happened? Did somebody just use the Dao of Karma to plot against me?”\nIn the instant that Fan Dong’er’s face flickered, Meng Hao’s expression became one of excitement. He took a deep breath, and then a strange light appeared in his eyes. This magic which forced ties of destiny was only in the first level of development. In the second level, he would be able to fuse promissory notes into the Karma Threads, and then unleash the full divine ability.\nAs far as the third level went, he would be able to use the promissory notes as Karma seeds, which, if successfully planted and the magic was allowed to grow to its full extent, would give Meng Hao the power to determine life or death with a mere thought.\n“This is my divine ability. A Writ of Karma. It might not be complete, but in the future, as my cultivation base grows more abstruse, I WILL perfect it!” As Meng Hao’s words rang out, the world around him shook, then filled with fissures. Everything trembled as Meng Hao came into clear view of everyone on the outside world.\nThe Patriarchs up in the palace were shocked.\n“I’m curious to know what enlightenment led him to create such a Daoist secret magic like this!!”\nDaoist magics were rare, but secret magics were even rarer!\nThe spectators out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea were looking on with wide eyes. Gasps could be heard, and unprecedented looks of astonishment could be seen.\n“This Fang Mu created a magic that seems to be both a Daoist magic and a secret magic! I’m afraid only the powerful experts from the great sects would be able to understand it!”\n“In any case, it caused the world to begin to collapse. Now, I wonder how many stone steles will descend!? Will he exceed Li Yan?!”\nAs the world trembled around Meng Hao, intense rumbling sounds could be heard as the stone steles began to fall. One, three, five, seven….\nPeople looked on, astonished, as a total of twenty-one stone steles descended. They Circulated around Meng Hao endlessly, creating a completely astonishing spectacle.\nInstantly, the crowds in the Ninth Mountain and Sea began to seethe with excitement.\n“Twenty-one stone steles! Heavens! That… that exceeds Sir Fan!!”\n“Inhuman! This guy’s battle prowess is monstrous, and his creativity is inhuman! Even though we couldn’t see his latent talent, it’s surely extraordinary! He’ll definitely take first place in this trial by fire!!”\n“I bet all of the Three Great Daoist Societies are in shock!! Twenty-one stone steles! This Fang Mu is definitely going to be famous in the Ninth Mountain and Sea!”\nIn the starry sky palace, the Patriarchs from the Three Great Daoist Societies were all sitting there as before. However, everyone else had already leapt to their feet. Their eyes shone with incredible brightness. If by any chance the Three Great Daoist Societies did not want to recruit Meng Hao, then they were ready to fight over him.\nAll of the disciples that had been recruited before Meng Hao could still be considered Chosen. However, sometimes people or events can come along that are simply beyond compare. Attempting to compare them with others would be unfair.\nIn the vast Eastern Lands, Fang Xiufeng and Meng Li looked at each other and smiled. Meng Li’s face was covered with a proud smile as she looked back at Meng Hao on the vortex screen, and her heart filled with love.\n“Little bastard!” muttered Patriarch Reliance. “It’s good that in the end, you didn’t lose me any face!”\nPill Demon and Chu Yuyan both let out light sighs. Chu Yuyan didn’t understand much about Meng Hao and his proclivity toward promissory notes, but Pill Demon knew something of it, and a strange expression could be seen on his face. As for the rest of the crowds, most of them didn’t understand Karma very well, but they could speculate as to the general idea.\n“With a magic like this, who will ever dare to refuse to write me a promissory note!” Meng Hao was inwardly delighted, and completely satisfied with the divine ability he had created.\nAt this point, everyone assumed that the Three Great Daoist Societies would swoop in to recruit Meng Hao. The Nine Seas God World and the Sublime Flow Sword Grotto were definitely moved, and they were just getting ready to enter discussions with the Immortal Ancient Daoist Rite, when all of a sudden, Meng Hao suddenly closed his eyes again. Apparently… he was sinking back into contemplation!\nThis scene instantly caused everyone to stare in shock.\n“What is he doing?”\n“Could it be… could it be that he intends to create another divine ability?” Even as shock rolled through everyone, a bright light suddenly began to shine around Meng Hao, and the music of a great Dao began to echo out.\nMeng Hao truly was in the midst of contemplating enlightenment. The reason he didn’t immediately absorb the power of the twenty-one stone steles was that, considering his current state, he was now ready to use his understanding of the nine bridges to create another divine ability.\n“He’s actually going to create another divine ability!!”\n“How… how is that possible? He already created one divine ability, how can he create another one? Does he think that creating divine abilities is as simple as eating or drinking?”\nAll the spectators in the outside world were completely shocked, even Meng Hao’s father and mother. The Patriarchs in the starry sky palace were also staring with wide eyes.\nLi Yan, as well as all the other competitors who were now waiting outside, stared at Meng Hao in a daze.\nThis was especially the case when, only a few hours later, a massive rumbling sound surrounded Meng Hao, and an intense energy surged up from him. Because the previous world had already collapsed, the energy affected the altar Meng Hao sat on, which everyone could see. There was no need for them to experience the divine ability; everyone was able to sense that this incoming divine ability was incredibly shocking.\n“No,” he murmured, “my line of thinking was a bit off.” He waved his hand, causing the surging energy that had shocked everyone to suddenly be extinguished. Once again, he began to contemplate. When everyone saw that happen, they were left completely speechless…. The other competitors in the trial by fire began to smile bitterly. The divine ability that Meng Hao felt to be off, was actually far more powerful than any of the divine abilities they had created. Each and every one was left completely without words.\nAfter a few more hours, energy once again began to surge up from Meng Hao. But then….\n“Off again!” he said angrily. He once again quashed the energy and started over.\nThe crowds were now looking at each other, dumbfounded. They began to smile wryly as they looked over at Meng Hao on the vortex screen.\nAs for the Patriarchs in the starry sky palace, their eyes were shining brightly, and it looked like they were getting ready for a struggle. An inhuman cultivator like this was someone each and every one did not wish to allow the Three Great Daoist Societies to recruit as a disciple.\nThe Patriarchs from the Three Great Daoist Societies were gaping in astonishment. Then, they exchanged glances, and within each others’ glittering eyes, they could all see anticipation and something hidden deep within…. Hope!" } ]
第855章 一纸因果！ 第九山海众人全部震撼，星空殿堂内，各宗老者也都目露奇光，炎魔骸圣地的老者，呵呵一笑，站起了身。 “想来此人也不是三大道门的选择了，他这术法，与我炎魔骸有缘，诸位也就别和老朽来抢了。” 话语间，这老者速度极快，迈步时刹那冲出，其他*人也疾驰而去。 五大圣地，除了选择了王有才以及小胖子的落月湖与古仙陵外，只有青莲天没有走出，而太阳山、炎魔骸，早已冲出。 一共降临了十七座石碑！ 比王有才那里，还要多出一座！ 这十七座石碑每一个都高大百丈，环绕四周，形成了漩涡，散发出了滔天之光，环绕八方，使得其内的离炎，似也光芒万丈，屹立在天地之间，如同绝世天骄。 第九山海众人，在看到这十七座石碑后，纷纷哗然。 “古往今来，仅次于凡老！ “十七座石碑，不愧是感悟了九十五处仙墟之人，创造的体术，当得起这十七座石碑！” “此人未来无法估计，尤其是他修为问道巅峰，如此一来，一入宗门，稍加磨练，就可成为天骄之辈！” 阵阵带着羡慕嫉妒的声音，回荡在第九山海时，离炎所在的世界，各宗老者齐齐降临，一番争夺后，最终炎魔骸成功的招收了离炎为弟子。 此刻，在这三条古路的六七八三关世界里。 只剩下了孟浩一个人存在，他的神通，还在创造之中。 所有人都在关注。 星空殿堂内，三大道门也在凝望。 期待之意。 越来越强烈。 “能否超越所有人，成为此番第一人，就看他的神通降临几座石碑！” “感悟九十九处仙墟，若他的石碑少于十五座，那就太让人失望了！” “此事不好说，据说当年有人感悟了九十八处仙墟，结果只创造了九石碑的神通！” 三天后，孟浩在盘膝中。 突然睁开了双眼。 “我脑海里之前感悟前九十八处仙墟时，浮现出的都是与灵石有关，与欠条有关，而我也很希望，日后的九大山海，能让所有天骄给我写下欠条！” “给我写下欠条，就与我有了因果，这因果缠绕之下，就可干扰命运，可总有人不会心甘情愿给我写欠条。 既如此……我创造的神通，就是强行结缘！” 这一指之下。 立刻世界颤抖，一道道丝线蓦然出现，这些丝线或明或暗，都是因果线，不是来自这个世界，而是来自孟浩！ 他赫然是在这一指中，将自己的因果线显露出来，一时之间，世界越发的震动。 轰鸣滔天，隐隐间似要崩溃。 孟浩抬头。 凝望自己的因果线，双眼闪动时。 他猛的一拽，这条因果线立刻弯曲，与此同时孟浩取出一张纸，毫不迟疑的将这因果线扭曲，形成了一个符文，烙印在了纸张上。 几乎在烙印的刹那，九海神界内，盘膝打坐，试图去镇压身后女尸的凡冬儿，突然身体猛地颤抖，双眼直接睁开，露出震惊。 紧接着，她面色大变，喷出一口鲜血，神色带着无法置信。 “发生了什么事情，有人在以因果道计算于我！ ！” 凡冬儿这里花容色变时，孟浩那里，神色带着振奋，他深吸口气，目露奇光，这强行结缘的术法，此刻他只演化了第一个层次，而第二个层次，可以将那些欠条融入因果线内，以此展开神通。 甚至还有第三个层次，以这欠条为因果之种，一旦种下，未来若此法大成，孟浩一意可决生死！ “这就是我创造的神通，一纸因果，虽不完善，可日后随着我修为深邃，必有完善的一天！” 孟浩声音回荡，天地轰鸣，世界崩溃，大地颤抖，外界的所有人，全部都看清了孟浩这里一切。 星空殿堂内，众老震动。 “老夫很好奇，他到底以什么样的感悟，创造了这样的道秘！ 道法少见，秘法更少见！ 外界第九山海的关注之人，全部睁大了眼，吸气之声传遍八方，一个个都震撼无比。 “难以置信！ ！” “这方木，创造的术法，似秘又似道，怕是只有那些宗门的强者，才可看出端倪所在！” “无论如何，一样都让世界崩溃，不知他这里，会有多少石碑！ ！ 此刻，孟浩所在的世界，在崩溃中有轰鸣回荡，虚无震动时，石碑骤然降临。 在外界众人的触目惊心中，一共降临了二十一座石碑，这些石碑轰然落下，环绕在孟浩四周时，不断地转动，惊天动地。 这一刻，外界第九山海，彻底沸腾。 “二十一座，天啊，这……这超越了凡老！ ！” “妖孽，此人战力滔天，创造力妖孽，他的资质虽然没看出来，但也必定不俗，他是这一次试炼的第一人！ ！ 二十一座石碑，此法日后必定名震九山！” 星空殿堂内，除了三大道门的老者依旧端坐外，其他人全部站起，一个个双眼露出光芒，若非是猜测到三大道门会收起孟浩，他们必定全力争夺。 与孟浩比较，他们之前招收的弟子虽也是天骄，可这世间，很多人，很多事情，本就无法去比较，一旦比较，只会失衡。 东土大地，方秀峰夫妻二人相视一笑，孟浩的母亲脸上露出得意之意，看着漩涡画面里的孟浩，心底满是慈爱。 “小王八蛋，总算没给老祖我丢脸！” 星空中，靠山老祖嘀咕了几句。 丹鬼那里，还有楚玉嫣，都在这一刻松了口气，楚玉嫣对于孟浩欠条的习惯了解不多，可丹鬼多少知道一些，此刻神色有些古怪，那众人想不明白的因果，他隐隐猜出了关键。 “有了此法，看日后谁还敢不给我写欠条！” 孟浩内心振奋，对于这自己终于创造出来的神通，极为满意。 就在所有人都认为，三大道门会招收孟浩之时，甚至九海神界与太行剑宗，也的确是动心，准备与仙古道场商议时，忽然的，在所有人的目光里，孟浩居然又盘膝坐下，闭上了眼，似……还在感悟！ 这一幕，立刻让外界所有人一愣。 “他在干什么？” “莫非……莫非他打算继续创造神通？” 就在不少人都诧异时，孟浩那里，身上突然出现了光芒，隐隐有大道之音传出，更有经文回荡。 孟浩的确是还在感悟，他没有立刻吸收这二十一座石碑内的力量，而是借着自己如今的状态，去将自己脑海里对于九座桥的感悟形成的念头，去创造神通。 “他居然真的还再创造神通！ ！” “这……这怎么可能，他已创造了一个，居然还要再创造？ 他以为这创造神通，是吃饭喝水一般简单？” 外界众人，全部大吃一惊，就连孟浩的父母也是一愣，星空殿堂内，各宗老祖，全部睁大了眼。 而如离炎一般，早已走出三关世界的试炼者，这一刻，也全部都呆在那里，怔怔的看着孟浩。 尤其是，也就是几个时辰，孟浩那里轰鸣滔天，在他身后，有一股气势冲天而起，因世界的崩溃，这气势影响了孟浩所在的祭坛，仅仅是目睹，不需要去体会，就可以感受到这即将出现的神通，必定惊天。 “居然真的创造出来了，他是什么妖孽！ ！” 众人哗然，可还没等他们从震撼中苏醒，孟浩那里皱起了眉头。 “又歪了！” 又过去了一个时辰，当孟浩身上气势再次崛起时，他很是恼火，再次推到重新开始。 外界众人，已都相继无语，纷纷苦笑的望着漩涡内画面里的孟浩。 星空殿堂内，那些各宗老祖，一个个目光越来越明亮，隐隐间有了争夺之意，这样的妖孽，他们不甘心让三大道门收走。 三大道门的三老，此刻也是愣了一下，三人忽然双目一闪，彼此看了看后，都看到了相互目中的奇异，在那奇异的深处，藏着唯有他们三人才能看到的……希望！
Chapter 855: A Writ of Karma! Everyone in the Ninth Mountain and Sea was completely shaken. In the starry sky palace, the Patriarchs of the various sects looked on with strange gleams in their eyes. The elder from the Holy Land of the Bones of the Flamedevil chuckled and rose to his feet. “Presumably, this young man is not the type to be selected by the Three Great Daoist Societies. This magic is connected by destiny to the Bones of the Flamedevil. Ladies and Gentlemen, I humbly request that you do not compete with me in this matter.” Even as he spoke, the old man moved with incredible speed. However, at the same time, eight or nine other people sped forward. Of the Five Great Holy Lands, Wang Youcai and Fatty had been taken by the Moonset Lake and the Paleo-Immortal Mausoleum respectively. Up to now, only the Blue Lotus Sky, Mount Sun, and the Bones of the Flamedevil hadn’t truly made a move. Now, though, they sprang into action. In total, seventeen stone steles appeared!! One more than Wang Youcai! Each one of the seventeen stone steles was fully three hundred meters tall, and as they spun around Li Yan, they turned into a vortex that sent light towering up into the sky. Li Yan stood in the middle of it all, surrounded by the boundless glow, looking like an unparalleled Chosen. When the crowds out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea saw the seventeen stone steles, they were completely shocked. “From ancient times until now, he’s second only to Sir Fan!” “Seventeen stone steles! He’s definitely worthy to have been enlightened regarding 95 Immortal ruins! He created a body magic that summoned seventeen stone steles!” “It’s impossible to predict what kind of future he will have, especially since his cultivation base is at the peak of Dao Seeking. Once he joins a sect, he’ll get some training and will definitely become an incredible Chosen!” All sorts of envious and jealous comments could be heard echoing out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea. In Li Yan’s world, the Patriarchs from the various sects had arrived. After some bickering, the Bones of the Flamedevil managed to recruit Li Yan as a disciple. As of now, the only person left in the world of the sixth, seventh, and eighth stages was Meng Hao. His divine ability had not fully been created yet. Everyone was now watching closely, including the Three Great Daoist Societies in the palace up in the starry sky. The anticipation in the air continued to grow more intense. “If he can outdo everyone else, then he’ll take first place! Let’s see how many stone steles his divine ability will cause to descend!” “He gained enlightenment from 99 Immortal ruins. If he gets anything less than fifteen stone steles, it would be completely disappointing!” “It’s hard to say. I heard that one year, somebody gained enlightenment from 98 Immortal ruins, but in the end only created a nine-stele divine ability!” Three days later, as Meng Hao sat there cross-legged, his eyes suddenly opened. “Each time I gained enlightenment from the first 98 Immortal ruins,” he thought, “I saw images of spirit stones and promissory notes. In the future, I hope to make all the Chosen in the great Nine Mountains and Seas write me promissory notes! “That is my grand aspiration…. “Writing me a promissory note is also sowing Karma, and those Karma threads can be used to interfere with fate. However, most people aren’t willing to write promissory notes. Therefore… I will create a divine ability that forms ties of destiny with them by force!” Meng Hao’s eyes glittered and he raised his right index finger. Immediately, the world began to tremble as countless threads appeared. Some of the threads were bright, and some were dark, but all were Karma Threads, and they did not originate from this world, but from Meng Hao! Shockingly, just a movement of his finger had caused all of his Karma Threads to become visible. The entire world began to shake even more violently, and roaring filled the air, as if the entire place were about to collapse. Meng Hao looked up and gazed at the Karma Threads, and his eyes glittered brightly. He suddenly formed his right hand into a claw, which reached out and grabbed one of the Karma Threads. The instant he touched it, he suddenly saw an image of Fan Dong’er. He yanked on the Thread, and it twisted. At the same time, Meng Hao pulled out a piece of paper. Then, he unhesitatingly caused the Karma Thread to twist into the shape of a magical symbol, which he then imprinted onto the piece of paper. As soon as the mark appeared, Fan Dong’er, who sat cross-legged in meditation in the Nine Seas God World trying to suppress the female corpse on her back, felt a tremor run through her. Her eyes opened wide and then shone with astonishment. Next, her face flickered, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. A look of astonishment covered her face. “What just happened? Did somebody just use the Dao of Karma to plot against me?” In the instant that Fan Dong’er’s face flickered, Meng Hao’s expression became one of excitement. He took a deep breath, and then a strange light appeared in his eyes. This magic which forced ties of destiny was only in the first level of development. In the second level, he would be able to fuse promissory notes into the Karma Threads, and then unleash the full divine ability. As far as the third level went, he would be able to use the promissory notes as Karma seeds, which, if successfully planted and the magic was allowed to grow to its full extent, would give Meng Hao the power to determine life or death with a mere thought. “This is my divine ability. A Writ of Karma. It might not be complete, but in the future, as my cultivation base grows more abstruse, I WILL perfect it!” As Meng Hao’s words rang out, the world around him shook, then filled with fissures. Everything trembled as Meng Hao came into clear view of everyone on the outside world. The Patriarchs up in the palace were shocked. “I’m curious to know what enlightenment led him to create such a Daoist secret magic like this!!” Daoist magics were rare, but secret magics were even rarer! The spectators out in the Ninth Mountain and Sea were looking on with wide eyes. Gasps could be heard, and unprecedented looks of astonishment could be seen. “This Fang Mu created a magic that seems to be both a Daoist magic and a secret magic! I’m afraid only the powerful experts from the great sects would be able to understand it!” “In any case, it caused the world to begin to collapse. Now, I wonder how many stone steles will descend!? Will he exceed Li Yan?!” As the world trembled around Meng Hao, intense rumbling sounds could be heard as the stone steles began to fall. One, three, five, seven…. People looked on, astonished, as a total of twenty-one stone steles descended. They Circulated around Meng Hao endlessly, creating a completely astonishing spectacle. Instantly, the crowds in the Ninth Mountain and Sea began to seethe with excitement. “Twenty-one stone steles! Heavens! That… that exceeds Sir Fan!!” “Inhuman! This guy’s battle prowess is monstrous, and his creativity is inhuman! Even though we couldn’t see his latent talent, it’s surely extraordinary! He’ll definitely take first place in this trial by fire!!” “I bet all of the Three Great Daoist Societies are in shock!! Twenty-one stone steles! This Fang Mu is definitely going to be famous in the Ninth Mountain and Sea!” In the starry sky palace, the Patriarchs from the Three Great Daoist Societies were all sitting there as before. However, everyone else had already leapt to their feet. Their eyes shone with incredible brightness. If by any chance the Three Great Daoist Societies did not want to recruit Meng Hao, then they were ready to fight over him. All of the disciples that had been recruited before Meng Hao could still be considered Chosen. However, sometimes people or events can come along that are simply beyond compare. Attempting to compare them with others would be unfair. In the vast Eastern Lands, Fang Xiufeng and Meng Li looked at each other and smiled. Meng Li’s face was covered with a proud smile as she looked back at Meng Hao on the vortex screen, and her heart filled with love. “Little bastard!” muttered Patriarch Reliance. “It’s good that in the end, you didn’t lose me any face!” Pill Demon and Chu Yuyan both let out light sighs. Chu Yuyan didn’t understand much about Meng Hao and his proclivity toward promissory notes, but Pill Demon knew something of it, and a strange expression could be seen on his face. As for the rest of the crowds, most of them didn’t understand Karma very well, but they could speculate as to the general idea. “With a magic like this, who will ever dare to refuse to write me a promissory note!” Meng Hao was inwardly delighted, and completely satisfied with the divine ability he had created. At this point, everyone assumed that the Three Great Daoist Societies would swoop in to recruit Meng Hao. The Nine Seas God World and the Sublime Flow Sword Grotto were definitely moved, and they were just getting ready to enter discussions with the Immortal Ancient Daoist Rite, when all of a sudden, Meng Hao suddenly closed his eyes again. Apparently… he was sinking back into contemplation! This scene instantly caused everyone to stare in shock. “What is he doing?” “Could it be… could it be that he intends to create another divine ability?” Even as shock rolled through everyone, a bright light suddenly began to shine around Meng Hao, and the music of a great Dao began to echo out. Meng Hao truly was in the midst of contemplating enlightenment. The reason he didn’t immediately absorb the power of the twenty-one stone steles was that, considering his current state, he was now ready to use his understanding of the nine bridges to create another divine ability. “He’s actually going to create another divine ability!!” “How… how is that possible?

It only took one step, and that was to make her skin the same color. If that happened, Mei Er would immediately become a super beauty.\nThe reason why Mei Er's body had become so strange was because there were two kinds of different kinds of Zhen Qi inside her body. The competition and suppression between the two types of Zhen Qi had led to the current result. To solve this problem, the only way was to completely fuse the two types of Zhen Qi.\nAccording to the preliminary concept of summer, he could use the ice and fire spiritual energy as a medium, build a bridge between the two incompatible types of Zhen Qi, Extreme Yin Qi and Supreme Force, and then forcefully fuse them with acupuncture. But this was just an assumption, and he could not guarantee the safety of this method.\nAlthough on the surface, it seemed that the situation inside Mei Er's body was similar to when he was young or when Liu Meng fainted, but in reality, it was different. Although on the surface, the situation inside Mei Er's body was similar to when he was young or when Liu Meng fainted, it was actually different.\nIn essence, they were a type of external Qi, and the two sources of energy were different. To fuse them, it was different from fusing with the fire and ice spiritual energy, and in addition, Mei Er did not fuse them through cultivation, but through her own power during the summer. As the saying goes, it is hard to force someone to do it, so there is no problem.\nIn order to carry out this fusion, not only would there be dangers during the summer, there might also be dangers for Mei Er, which was why he hesitated during the summer. However, looking at Mei Er's tempting curves, summer was still unable to resist this temptation, as long as he could make her beautiful, he would be able to find a great beauty to be his wife. For his wife, he had decided to take the risk!\nHe remembered that the master had said that finding a beauty as a wife always had a little bit of risk. Maybe he would be cut down in the middle of the night on the road, or be framed and locked in jail. If there was no risk at all, then the wife he found was definitely not a beauty.\nHe carried Mei Er out from the bathroom, and quickly returned to his room. He placed Mei Er on the bed, took out two silver needles, climbed onto the bed, and sat cross-legged next to her. With his left hand, he inserted the needles into her body, and a strand of fire and ice spiritual energy entered her body, at the same time spreading to both sides of her body.\nFollowing that, Xia Chen's right hand moved the needles as if they were flying, continuously stabbing into Mei Er's body, and as the number of stabs increased, the Zhen Qi in Mei Er's body also began to circulate rapidly, the Yin and Supreme Qi formed a bridge made from fire and ice energy, unceasingly moving towards the other side of the territory, and then camped there.\nDuring the summer, he continued to forcefully fuse the Yin Qi and Supreme Yin Qi. However, he soon discovered that the fusion speed was very slow. If he wanted to fuse the two together, he might not be able to do so in a short period of time.\n\"Finding a wife is really not easy!\" Summer sighed in her heart, and then began the long war.\nThe next morning.\nBeijing International Airport.\nA blonde half-breed beauty had just walked out of the airport when a black Audi drove towards her and stopped beside her. As the window rolled down, a man stuck his head out and waved at her, \"Get in!\"\nThere was a trace of surprise in the blonde woman's eyes but she still opened the back door and carried her luggage into the car.\n\"Jin Yang, why are you here?\" The blonde closed the door and asked.\n\"Head... The chief knows you're back today, so he asked me to come pick you up. \" The man called Jin Yang said as he drove.\n\"Oh, then I really have to thank team leader.\" The blonde woman smiled.\nShe took out a cell phone from her bag and dialed a number.\n\"Muha, are you talking to the chief on the phone?\" Jin Yang asked casually.\n\"No.\" The golden-haired beauty was Mu Ha. She had just come back from a mission abroad. She shook her head and said, \"I'll call Yao Yao to see if she wants me to bring her something to eat.\"\n\"Oh.\" Jin Yang looked relieved.\nA moment later, Mu Ha frowned: \"This girl is still sleeping right? Why didn't you pick up the phone? \"\n\"I heard that Yaoyang often sleeps in peace. It's still early, so it's normal for her to be sleeping.\" Jin Yang said casually.\n\"Never mind, I'm too lazy to buy her food.\" Mu Ha leaned back. \"I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to take a break. Call me when I get there.\"\n\"No problem.\" At this time, the car had already reached the airport highway and its speed had increased by a lot.\nA few minutes later, Mu Ha closed his eyes, looking like he was sleeping. Seeing this in the rearview mirror, Jin Yang's expression seemed to relax a lot.\nJin Yang, who was happily driving, suddenly heard a sentence: \"Did you head back to the dragon group?\"\n\"That's right... \"Huh?\" Something cold and hard pressed against his head. He knew it was a gun, and he could see it in the rearview mirror, held in Muhan's hand.\n\"Tell me, what does Zhao Gongzi want to do?\" Mu Ha coldly asked, \"You better speak honestly, otherwise, I will immediately blow your head off!\"\n\"Mu Ha, I, I really don't know, I was just ordered to bring you back, other things, I really don't know …\" Jin Yang's voice was a little shaky.

Get on the Fifth Ring Road and walk around the Fifth Ring Road. You are not allowed to stop and maintain your normal speed. Do you understand?\" Muha ordered.\n\"Yes, I will do so.\" Jin Yang quickly said. At a time like this, did he dare to disobey?\nMuhan, still holding the gun in his right hand, took out his cell phone with his left hand and dialed another number.\n\"Did something happen to Heaven Squad's Group Leader Zhao Mingfeng?\" Mu Ha put down his cell phone and asked coldly." } ]
第452章 要把魅儿变成超级大美nv，说起来其实很简单，只需要一步就可以，那就是让她的皮肤变成同一种颜se，那样的话，那魅儿就会马上变成超级大美nv。 可问题在于，这一步说起来简单，要做起来，却并不是那么容易，魅儿的身体之所以会变得这么诡异，乃是因为她身体里存在着两种截然不同的真气，两种真气的相互争夺和压制，就导致了现在这个结果，要解决这个问题，唯一的办法就是，让这两种真气完全融合。 根据夏天的初步设想，他可以利用以冰火灵气为媒介，在极yin之气和至刚之气这两种不相容的真气之中搭起一座桥梁，然后用针灸强行将它们融合，但这只是设想，他并不能保证这种方法的安全xing。 虽然表面上看起来，魅儿体内的情况和他xiao时候或者说柳梦昏mi时的情况差不多，但实质上却并不一样，冰火灵体乃是天生，而冰之灵气和火之灵气也同样都是天生具有的，两者出自同一个本源，让他们转化成冰火灵气，只需要运行冰火神诀就行，对身体不会有任何伤害。 但魅儿体内的极yin之气乃是天生，可至刚之气却是后天练就的，本质上那是一种外来之气，两者并不同源，要将它们融合，跟冰火灵气的融合其实本质完全不同，再加之不是魅儿自己通过修炼融合，而是夏天利用自己的力量强行促进它们融合，正所谓强扭的瓜不甜，这难保不出问题。 要进行这种融合，不仅仅夏天可能会有危险，魅儿也可能会有危险，所以夏天才会有点犹豫，不过，看着魅儿那无比you人的曲线，夏天终究还是忍不住这种you惑，这多好的一个极品老婆的人选啊，只要把她变漂亮了，那他就又能找到一个超级大美nv当老婆了，为了老婆，他决定还是冒一点险吧！ 记得大师傅说过，找美nv当老婆，总是有那么点风险的，可能半夜在路上被人砍掉，也可能被人陷害关进牢里，若是一点风险也没有，那找到的老婆肯定不是美nv。 有了决定的夏天，便准备马上付诸行动，他将魅儿从浴室抱了出来，然后飞快回到自己房间，再次将魅儿平放在床上，然后拿出两根银针，爬上床，盘膝坐在魅儿身边，左手手起针落，扎进了魅儿的身体，一丝冰火灵气输入她的体内，同时向两边延伸，一边连接极yin之气，另一边连接到至刚之气，搭起一座桥梁。 接着，夏天的右手运针如飞，不停的扎进魅儿的身体里面，随着针扎的次数越来越多，魅儿身体内的真气也开始快速运行，极yin之气和至刚之气通过冰火灵气搭起的桥梁，不停的向另一边领地进发，然后驻扎下来。 夏天继续不停扎针，强行驱使着极yin之气和至刚之气融合，只不过，很快他便发现，两者融合的速度很慢，要完全让它们融合，恐怕是一时半会不能办到的事情。 “找个老婆真是不容易啊！” 夏天在心里感慨，然后便开始了持久战。 翌日清晨。 京城国际机场。 一个金发混血美nv刚刚从机场走出，一辆黑se奥迪轿车便朝她开了过来，在她身边停下，车窗摇下，一个男人探出头，朝她招了招手：“上车吧！” 金发美nv美眸闪过一丝惊讶，但还是拉开后车men，提着行李箱上了车。 “金洋，你怎么来了？” 金发美nv关上车men，然后开口问道。 “头……组长知道你今天回来，让我来接你一下。” 那叫金洋的男人一边开车一边说道。 “噢，那我还真得谢谢组长了。” 从包里拿出一个手机，金发美nv拨出了一个电话。 “沐晗，你是跟组长打电话吗？” “不是。” 金发美nv正是沐晗，她刚刚在国外执行任务回来，她摇了摇头说道：“我给夭夭打个电话，看她要不要我给她带吃的东西。” “噢。” 金洋看似松了口气的样子。 片刻后，沐晗微微蹙眉：“这丫头不会还在睡觉吧？ 怎么不接我电话呢？” “听说夭夭经常睡懒觉，现在时间还早，她在睡觉也很正常的。” 金洋随口说道。 “算了，我也懒得给她买吃的了。” 沐晗往后仰了仰，“我有点累，先休息一下，到了喊我一声。” “没问题。” 金洋回了一句，车子这时已经驶上机场高速，速度也一下子快了很多。 几分钟后，沐晗微微闭着眼睛，一副睡着的样子，而从后视镜里看到这种情况的金洋，神情也似乎轻松了许多。 正愉快开着车的金洋，突然听到耳边传来一句话：“头回龙组了？” 金洋顺口应了一句，然后便发现不对劲，但已经迟了，一个冰凉且**的东西抵在了他脑袋上，他知道那是枪，而且他也能从后视镜中看到，枪正握在沐晗的手里。 “说吧，赵公梓想做什么？” 沐晗冷冷的问道，“你最好老实jiao代，不然我马上打爆你的脑袋！” “沐晗，我，我真不知道，我只是奉命把你接回去，其他的事情，我真不知道……”金洋语气微微有点颤抖，任谁被人用枪抵着脑袋，那语气都不会太正常的。 “京城是不是发生了什么事情？” 沐晗又问道。 “我不知道，我只知道头儿突然回来了，而且重新当上了龙组的组长。” 金洋不敢有所隐瞒。 “继续开车，上五环，绕着五环线走，不准停，保持正常车速，明白了吗？” 沐晗继续命令道。 “是，我一定照办。” 金洋连忙说道，这种时候，他敢不照办吗？ 沐晗右手依然握着枪，左手拿出手机，又拨出了一个号码，然而，这个号码依然没有打通。 “天组的赵铭风赵组长，是不是出了事？” 沐晗放下手机，冷声问道。
Chapter 452 To turn Mei Er into a super beauty, it was actually very simple. It only took one step, and that was to make her skin the same color. If that happened, Mei Er would immediately become a super beauty. The reason why Mei Er's body had become so strange was because there were two kinds of different kinds of Zhen Qi inside her body. The competition and suppression between the two types of Zhen Qi had led to the current result. To solve this problem, the only way was to completely fuse the two types of Zhen Qi. According to the preliminary concept of summer, he could use the ice and fire spiritual energy as a medium, build a bridge between the two incompatible types of Zhen Qi, Extreme Yin Qi and Supreme Force, and then forcefully fuse them with acupuncture. But this was just an assumption, and he could not guarantee the safety of this method. Although on the surface, it seemed that the situation inside Mei Er's body was similar to when he was young or when Liu Meng fainted, but in reality, it was different. Although on the surface, the situation inside Mei Er's body was similar to when he was young or when Liu Meng fainted, it was actually different. In essence, they were a type of external Qi, and the two sources of energy were different. To fuse them, it was different from fusing with the fire and ice spiritual energy, and in addition, Mei Er did not fuse them through cultivation, but through her own power during the summer. As the saying goes, it is hard to force someone to do it, so there is no problem. In order to carry out this fusion, not only would there be dangers during the summer, there might also be dangers for Mei Er, which was why he hesitated during the summer. However, looking at Mei Er's tempting curves, summer was still unable to resist this temptation, as long as he could make her beautiful, he would be able to find a great beauty to be his wife. For his wife, he had decided to take the risk! He remembered that the master had said that finding a beauty as a wife always had a little bit of risk. Maybe he would be cut down in the middle of the night on the road, or be framed and locked in jail. If there was no risk at all, then the wife he found was definitely not a beauty. He carried Mei Er out from the bathroom, and quickly returned to his room. He placed Mei Er on the bed, took out two silver needles, climbed onto the bed, and sat cross-legged next to her. With his left hand, he inserted the needles into her body, and a strand of fire and ice spiritual energy entered her body, at the same time spreading to both sides of her body. Following that, Xia Chen's right hand moved the needles as if they were flying, continuously stabbing into Mei Er's body, and as the number of stabs increased, the Zhen Qi in Mei Er's body also began to circulate rapidly, the Yin and Supreme Qi formed a bridge made from fire and ice energy, unceasingly moving towards the other side of the territory, and then camped there. During the summer, he continued to forcefully fuse the Yin Qi and Supreme Yin Qi. However, he soon discovered that the fusion speed was very slow. If he wanted to fuse the two together, he might not be able to do so in a short period of time. "Finding a wife is really not easy!" Summer sighed in her heart, and then began the long war. The next morning. Beijing International Airport. A blonde half-breed beauty had just walked out of the airport when a black Audi drove towards her and stopped beside her. As the window rolled down, a man stuck his head out and waved at her, "Get in!" There was a trace of surprise in the blonde woman's eyes but she still opened the back door and carried her luggage into the car. "Jin Yang, why are you here?" The blonde closed the door and asked.

In the future, you must be respectful to him whenever you see him. Do you understand?”\nWhat kind of person was Li Kun Yang? He was someone able to leave home and make his way into the world. He had established his foundations in Paris becoming famous with the Chinese there. Moreover, many foreigners would strive to learn martial arts from him.\nHow could he not see through his disciple’s thoughts?\nPreviously, Li Kun Yang thought of choosing a son-in-law from his personal disciples, but he had thought of one phrase ‘If the father is a lion, the son cannot be a dog.’\nLi Kun Yang could be counted as one of the best Guo Shu Experts in the country. However, his personal disciples, whether Chinese descent or French descent, were not as gifted as him. He was simply too high up.\nThus, after careful consideration, he had extinguished the thought of choosing a son-in-law from his disciples.\nLi Kun Yang had a simple requirement from his son-in-law, and that was strength. If they could defeat him, even better!\nIt was only then that his son-in-law could protect his daughter.\nMoney and intelligence were nothing in front of Li Kun Yang’s eyes.\nWei Xiao Bei simply did not know any of this as he happily looked at the disciples greeting him.\nHe felt that being called martial uncle by so many people was not bad. This was the first time he felt happiness from being a senior.\nWhen he saw the boys at the back row with a restrained expression, he thought that they were dissatisfied with someone so young being a martial uncle.\nWei Xiao Bei became even happier. He simply did not know that most of the disciples had already treated him as a rival in love.\nThe Xingyi Dojo appeared to be the first floor of a large building, but after entering, the style had completely changed to Chinese.\nAfter entering the large doors, the first thing that greeted you was a large spirit wall. In the middle, there was a large sculpted mural of people fighting with martial arts. Beside it, there was an introduction for Xingyiquan written in three different languages: Chinese, English, and French.\nAfter passing by the wall, there was a huge indoor practice ground covered with a layer of a thick red carpet. When Wei Xiao Bei stepped on it, he could feel the flexibility of the carpet. It was clear that there was a large rubber board under it to protect from injuries.\nThe entire practice ground was lit by rows of bright stage lighting hung in the ceiling. There were also three separated elevated rings, and close to the walls, there were rows of wooden training dummies that were currently being used by hundreds of students.\nThe entire scene looked high-end and grand.\nWhen Wei Xiao Bei compared it to his own dojo, he could not help but secretly sigh. It’s no wonder that their dojo is so prosperous. Just the number of personal disciples amounted to 10. Moreover, according to Reannie, there were more than 3000 paying students.\nThe Cheng Clan Dojo would at most only house more than 200 students.\nIn the entire city of Paris, the Xingyi Dojo could be called number one.\nWith the number of people, it could even be called an outlier.\nWei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang went to the parlor to have a chat. Since both of them were Guo Shu Experts, their conversation naturally never left the topic of martial arts.\nTowards his own doubt, Wei Xiao Bei took this chance to ask them.\nAddressing Wei Xiao Bei’s doubts, Li Kun Yang did not hide anything as he happily spoke.\nXingyiquan and Bajiquan were simply two different sects. Even their disciples’ interactions with each other were basically to each their own.\nOn the other hand, Li Kun Yang’s grandfather and Cheng Bi Wu’s master had a friendly relationship. In terms of generations, Li Kun Yang’s father was in the same generation as Cheng Bi Wu. This meant that Wei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang were in the same generation.\nHowever, Cheng Bi Wu’s position was not high in his sect. His age was also the same as Li Kun Yang, and they had even met before, making their relationship quite good.\nWhen Li Kun Yang made a call to Cheng Bi Wu, and when Cheng Bi Wu heard Wei Xiao Bei’s name, Cheng Bi Wu immediately laughed heartily. This had puzzled Li Kun Yang. In the end, Li Kun Yang understood everything after Cheng Bi Wu explained it to them.\nLi Kun Yang trusted Cheng Bi Wu, but Wei Xiao Bei was only 22 years old this year! This had made Li Kun Yang skeptical.\nHe knew about Cheng Bi Wu’s personal disciples. Among them, he had a good impression of the eldest Liu Jian Cheng as he could be called a Guo Shu Expert at 28 years old.\nHowever, Liu Jian Cheng was someone who started learning when he was small.\nWei Xia Bei was someone who had only started halfway in his life. Even a genius should not be that good.\nHowever, after listening to Reannie’s description, Wei Xiao Bei should indeed be considered as a Guo Shu Expert. He felt as if Wei Xiao Bei was loved by the gods.\nThis time, he had invited Wei Xiao Bei to be a guest in his dojo. Other than thanking him from saving Reannie’s life, he had wanted to see how strong this Wei Xiao Bei was. This was the most important point. After all, they were the same in that they walked the martial path.\nCheng Bi Wu did not brag to Li Kun Yang, signifying that he should take a look at it by himself.\nWhen he first saw Wei Xiao Bei at the doors, he could tell just from Wei Xiao Bei’s appearance, that he was someone with extreme self-confidence, and his movements were as steady as Mt Tai.\nIn truth, the number of young people at that age having that kind of temperament and movement was simply none.\nThis was completely the air of a master.\nPeople who did not have enough confidence would not have this kind of aura.\nEven with that, Li Kun Yang was still a bit doubtful.\nWhen Wei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang were sitting down and drinking tea, the disciples in the front few rows also accompanied them and sat down, while the rest accompanied them by standing.\nAs for Reannie, she was excitedly busying herself. In one moment, she would pour water into the teapot. In the next moment, she would stand behind her father and cast a glance at Wei Xiao Bei from time to time.\nEven if Reannie was only 18 years old, she already understood many things.\nFor girls of this age, it was easy for an outstanding person like Wei Xiao Bei with a good appearance to create a good impression.\nIt was impossible to call this love at first sight.\nHowever, they had met in the Dust World. Compared to strangers or even fellow disciples, she felt a different sense of intimacy.\nWhether it was because of her good impression of him or something else, she had been very polite. On the contrary, this made the disciples attempting to woo Reannie go wild with envy\nHumans were creatures that would easily do things that overstep bounds when it came to impulses. In just a few moments, before Li Kun Yang continued speaking, a French youth of around 27 years old with fair skin walked forward. He first cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei and then spoke to Li Kun Yang with fluent Chinese, “Master, we disciples are curious about martial Uncle Wei’s martial arts. Martial Uncle Wei, please give us some pointers.”\nJust from the speech alone, this person was trying to ask for pointers by using his master as an intermediary, but his and the other people’s thoughts were different.\nNo matter how impressive and awe-inspiring Wei Xiao Bei was in the Dust World, he was just a 22-year-old youth. He could not understand their thoughts at all.\nOn the contrary, Li Kun Yang was already 40. He immediately understood things just by looking at the situation.\nHe originally wanted to stop it, but he changed his mind as he smiled and made an introduction, “This is my seventh personal disciple, Benjamin.”\nAfter his introduction, Li Kun Yang looked at all his disciples and made a serious expression, “Your martial Uncle Wei had finally dropped by Paris. This is a rare chance for everyone. You must try to learn a few things from him or it would be a waste.”\nLi Kun Yang’s words had made the entire hall erupt. Not only those who had hostility against Wei Xiao Bei stood out, but even a few disciples that were higher in rank also stood up.\nJust from Li Kun Yang’s words, they understood that their master’s evaluation of this martial uncle was high.\nThose who had thoughts for Reannie and hostility toward Wei Xiao Bei wanted to defeat Wei Xiao Bei in order to destroy his reputation and let Reannie know who was the better man.\nOn the other hand, those ranked higher sincerely wanted to learn things from Wei Xiao Bei.\nWhether they were Chinese or French, they could be considered as ignorant. They would not reject anything that could strengthen their own martial arts. They had understood that this was the best and main way of improving their martial arts at their level of skill.\nSeeing so many people ask for pointers, even if Wei Xiao Bei was an idiot, he understood that there was an issue.\n“Okay, since I have come, I don’t plan on concealing myself. However, as to how I’m going to give pointers, let’s have brother Li decide.”\nWei Xiao Bei smiled and looked at Li Kun Yang.\n“Stage? Not bad. However, please pardon me for any miscalculations on the stage brother Li.”\nWei Xiao Bei nodded his head, agreeing that fighting was the best way to give pointers.\nIt was like how he gave Huang Kun pointers back in the dojo. When did Huang Kun never cry out for his mom and dad? Even Zhu Xin Yi was regularly bruised by his hands. If it was not like that, their martial arts would not improve fast.\nEven a Guo Shu expert would not be able to become someone’s master with just routine learning.\n“No problem. There is an infirmary on the second floor. There’s no problem even if you break a few bones.”\nThe reason Wei Xiao Bei was asking this was to confirm what level of action he could perform. On the other hand, Li Kun Yang had responded that it was fine even if bones were broken. Naturally, the meaning of going a bit easy was conveyed in this. If he had actually killed someone, then the joke would be on him." } ]
也不知道是不是卫小北带着礼物过来，太像是上门女婿的缘故，这十多个弟子里至少有一半看着卫小北，鼻子不是鼻子，眼睛不是眼睛的，脸上一副不满的模样。 但接下来，李昆阳面向这些弟子的第一句话就让众多弟子斯巴达了。 “这是你们卫师叔，以后不管在任何地方见到你们卫师叔都要持弟子礼，你们明白了么？” 李昆阳是何许人也？ 能够独自一人出国闯荡，创下这份基业，在巴黎华人界里响当当的名头，无数老外争先恐后想要进入武馆学习。 他怎么看不出自己弟子的心思。 要说之前李昆阳倒是有几分从徒弟里挑选女婿的心思，但或许是应了一句话：“虎父犬子。” 李昆阳即便在国内也算得上名气不小的国术高手，可在法国所收的徒弟里面，不管是华裔还是法裔，在武学之上的天赋，距离李昆阳这个师父都有些差距。 因而，在考察了一段时间之后，李昆阳就熄了从弟子里挑选女婿的念头。 李昆阳的女婿标准很简单，那就是武功高强，最好能够打得过自己！ 这样才能够保护自己的女儿。 什么财富，什么学问，在李昆阳的眼里都是屁话。 卫小北倒不太清楚这一点，还乐呵呵的与李昆阳门下弟子见礼。 还别说，一群人朝着自己口称师叔的滋味的确不错，卫小北还是第一次享受到身为长辈的快乐。 看排在后面的那几个小子，脸都快憋青了，一定是看到自己年纪轻轻居然就当了师叔。 卫小北倒是在那里乐呵，压根就不知道，这下面大半青壮小伙已经将他视为了最最可恶的情敌！ 这形意武馆外面看着仅仅只是一栋大楼的底层，但进入之后，则完全是华夏风格的装饰。 大门进去就是一个照壁，中间是几个人打拳的浮雕。 四周则写着一些与形意拳相关的介绍，中法英三国文字对照。 绕过照壁，就是一个巨大的室内演武场，地上铺着一层厚实的红色地毯，卫小北脚一踩上去就能够感受到地毯下面的隐隐弹性，很显然地毯下面还铺着一层防止摔伤的橡胶板。 整个演武场灯光明亮，一排排照明灯悬挂在天花板上，三个擂台成品字形分开，墙壁处摆着一排排的人形木桩。 数以百计的学员正排成几个方阵练习着拳术。 整体一看去，那就是高端大气上档次。 卫小北对比了一下自家武馆，不由得在心里暗叹一声，难怪人家开武馆开得如此红火，光嫡传弟子就收了十多个，据蕾安妮所言，光是缴费的学员数量就超过了三千之数！ 程氏武馆学员最多的时候也就两百多点。 即便是在整个巴黎的这个行当里，形意武馆的规模估计都排得上第一了。 这算是异数了。 坐在形意武馆的会客室里，李昆阳与卫小北相谈甚欢。 两人都是国术高手，言语之间自然是离不开武学。 对于之前的疑问，卫小北趁着兴头便问了出来。 对于卫小北的疑问，李昆阳倒也没有隐瞒，随即便笑着说了出来。 要说形意与八极之间原本就不是一个门派，弟子之间的交往。 基本上都是各交各的。 而李昆阳的爷爷却与程必武的师父关系莫逆，以同辈论交，如此下来，李昆阳的父亲自然就与程必武是同辈了。 不过程必武在师门之中排行不高，其年纪与李昆阳相近。 曾经两者见过面，关系倒是不错。 这次，李昆阳调查卫小北的老底，就是找到了程必武。 结果程必武一听卫小北的名字，就哈哈大笑，引得李昆阳疑惑不解，最终程必武一说，李昆阳方才明白过来。 要说程必武的话，李昆阳是信的，但卫小北今年最多22岁！ 这一点却让李昆阳有些将信将疑了。 要说程必武手下的三个徒弟，李昆阳是知道的，里面就老大刘健城让李昆阳能够看上眼，28岁就称得上是一代国术高手了。 但人家也是从小开始习武的。 这卫小北半路出家到现在才多长时间，就算是天才，也没可能多厉害吧？ 可听蕾安妮的描述，这卫小北已经算是国术高手了，还天生神力的感觉。 这次请卫小北到武馆做客，李昆阳除了感谢蕾安妮所说的救命之恩，原本也有武林同道之谊，而最重要的就是，李昆阳想要看看这卫小北到底有多厉害。 程必武也没有给李昆阳怎么吹嘘，大概意思就是自己去看。 之前在武馆大门处，李昆阳也看到了，要说就外表而言，这小子还是有几分样貌，从内到外透露出一股极为自信的气质，行事之间却是稳如泰山。 说实话，就这个年纪的年轻人，能够拥有这样的气质和行事风格，不是很少，而是没有。 这完全就是一副大宗师的风范。 如果说没有底气的话，是压根不可能表现如此的。 但即便是如此，李昆阳心头还是有些疑惑。 卫小北与李昆阳坐在首座上喝茶闲聊，几个排行靠前的弟子陪坐，至于另外的弟子则是陪站。 至于蕾安妮则是兴奋的忙里忙外，一会掺茶倒水，一会站在父亲身后，目光却时不时朝着卫小北瞟去。 好吧，少女怀春本是诗。 蕾安妮虽说仅仅十八岁，但也懂得不少东西了。 对于这个年纪的少女而言，像卫小北这样本事出众，长相不差的年轻男子原本就容易获得其好感。 要说一见钟情是不可能的。 但两人都是在灰界里认识，较之其他人，就算是同门师兄弟，都有着一些不同的亲厚感觉。 不管这蕾安妮是对卫小北有着好感，还是其它什么原因。 蕾安妮在旁边表现得如此殷勤，倒让那些对蕾安妮有着企图的师兄师弟们心头妒火狂烧。 很快，没等李昆阳继续说些什么，就有一个长得有些白净的年轻人站了出来，这是一个法国人，大约有二十七八岁，先朝着卫小北拱了拱手，一口流利的汉语，朝着李昆阳说道：“师父，我们师兄弟对卫师叔的功夫很好奇，不知道卫师叔是否愿意指点我们一下？” 光从话语表面上来说，完全就是师侄辈对师叔辈请求指点，但如果一结合他们的心思就有些不一样了。 卫小北不管在灰界里是多么威风凛凛，但年纪也就二十一，二，一时半会也没有看懂这年轻人的意思。 反倒是李昆阳，年纪近四十了，一看这局面就知道是怎么回事了。 他原本打算出声制止的，可转念想了想，却笑着介绍道：“这是我的七徒弟，本沙明。” 介绍之后，李昆阳转面朝着众多弟子，脸色变得严肃了一点：“你们卫师叔难得来巴黎一次，你们可要从他手上多掏几套绝学出来才是啊。” 李昆阳这样一说，顿时堂下就炸了堂，非但那些对卫小北带着隐隐敌意的弟子纷纷站出来请求卫小北指点，甚至于几位排名颇高的弟子也站了出来。 光从李昆阳的话语里，他们就能够听出，师父对这位师叔的评价颇高。 那些对蕾安妮有想法，对卫小北有敌意的弟子是想要打败卫小北，削一削卫小北的面子，让蕾安妮看看谁才是真正的男子汉。 而那几个排名颇高的弟子则是真心实意想要从卫小北身上学到一些东西。 他们不管是华夏人还是法国人，都算得上武痴了，对于任何能够提升自身武学修为的事情都不会拒绝的，武功到了他们这个程度，基本上都知道包容兼学才是提升自己的主要途径。 不过对于卫小北这样实力的人来说，别说一个个讨教指点了，就算是一拥而上，他心头也没有半点害怕。 “行，既然来了，我也没打算藏着掖着，不过这怎么指点，还请李师兄示下。” 李昆阳嘿嘿一笑，指了指会客室外面。 不错，但上了擂台，若是有些失手，还请李师兄见谅。” 卫小北点了点头，要说这指点，最好的办法就是对战。 就好似在武馆的时候，卫小北指点黄坤的时候，哪一次不是将黄坤揍得哭爹叫娘的，就算是竹心怡，在卫小北的手下，也经常是全身青紫。 如果不是这样的话，黄坤与竹心怡的功夫压根就不可能提升这么快。 “没事，武馆二楼就有医务室，就算是骨折也没有什么问题。” 卫小北所说的失手实际上就是询问李昆阳可以做到什么程度，而李昆阳的回答则是就算骨折也没有问题，当然里面也包含了手下留情的意思，如果卫小北一出手就干掉一个的话，那玩笑就开大了。 (未完待续。
Exodus Tales They did not know if Wei Xiao Bei brought gifts to become a son-in-law or not, but one out of the ten disciples would look at Wei Xiao Bei with resentment. However, Li Kun Yang’s first words to these disciples had driven them mad. “This is your martial Uncle Wei. In the future, you must be respectful to him whenever you see him. Do you understand?” What kind of person was Li Kun Yang? He was someone able to leave home and make his way into the world. He had established his foundations in Paris becoming famous with the Chinese there. Moreover, many foreigners would strive to learn martial arts from him. How could he not see through his disciple’s thoughts? Previously, Li Kun Yang thought of choosing a son-in-law from his personal disciples, but he had thought of one phrase ‘If the father is a lion, the son cannot be a dog.’ Li Kun Yang could be counted as one of the best Guo Shu Experts in the country. However, his personal disciples, whether Chinese descent or French descent, were not as gifted as him. He was simply too high up. Thus, after careful consideration, he had extinguished the thought of choosing a son-in-law from his disciples. Li Kun Yang had a simple requirement from his son-in-law, and that was strength. If they could defeat him, even better! It was only then that his son-in-law could protect his daughter. Money and intelligence were nothing in front of Li Kun Yang’s eyes. Wei Xiao Bei simply did not know any of this as he happily looked at the disciples greeting him. He felt that being called martial uncle by so many people was not bad. This was the first time he felt happiness from being a senior. When he saw the boys at the back row with a restrained expression, he thought that they were dissatisfied with someone so young being a martial uncle. Wei Xiao Bei became even happier. He simply did not know that most of the disciples had already treated him as a rival in love. The Xingyi Dojo appeared to be the first floor of a large building, but after entering, the style had completely changed to Chinese. After entering the large doors, the first thing that greeted you was a large spirit wall. In the middle, there was a large sculpted mural of people fighting with martial arts. Beside it, there was an introduction for Xingyiquan written in three different languages: Chinese, English, and French. After passing by the wall, there was a huge indoor practice ground covered with a layer of a thick red carpet. When Wei Xiao Bei stepped on it, he could feel the flexibility of the carpet. It was clear that there was a large rubber board under it to protect from injuries. The entire practice ground was lit by rows of bright stage lighting hung in the ceiling. There were also three separated elevated rings, and close to the walls, there were rows of wooden training dummies that were currently being used by hundreds of students. The entire scene looked high-end and grand. When Wei Xiao Bei compared it to his own dojo, he could not help but secretly sigh. It’s no wonder that their dojo is so prosperous. Just the number of personal disciples amounted to 10. Moreover, according to Reannie, there were more than 3000 paying students. The Cheng Clan Dojo would at most only house more than 200 students. In the entire city of Paris, the Xingyi Dojo could be called number one. With the number of people, it could even be called an outlier. Wei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang went to the parlor to have a chat. Since both of them were Guo Shu Experts, their conversation naturally never left the topic of martial arts. Towards his own doubt, Wei Xiao Bei took this chance to ask them. Addressing Wei Xiao Bei’s doubts, Li Kun Yang did not hide anything as he happily spoke. Xingyiquan and Bajiquan were simply two different sects. Even their disciples’ interactions with each other were basically to each their own. On the other hand, Li Kun Yang’s grandfather and Cheng Bi Wu’s master had a friendly relationship. In terms of generations, Li Kun Yang’s father was in the same generation as Cheng Bi Wu. This meant that Wei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang were in the same generation. However, Cheng Bi Wu’s position was not high in his sect. His age was also the same as Li Kun Yang, and they had even met before, making their relationship quite good. When Li Kun Yang made a call to Cheng Bi Wu, and when Cheng Bi Wu heard Wei Xiao Bei’s name, Cheng Bi Wu immediately laughed heartily. This had puzzled Li Kun Yang. In the end, Li Kun Yang understood everything after Cheng Bi Wu explained it to them. Li Kun Yang trusted Cheng Bi Wu, but Wei Xiao Bei was only 22 years old this year! This had made Li Kun Yang skeptical. He knew about Cheng Bi Wu’s personal disciples. Among them, he had a good impression of the eldest Liu Jian Cheng as he could be called a Guo Shu Expert at 28 years old. However, Liu Jian Cheng was someone who started learning when he was small. Wei Xia Bei was someone who had only started halfway in his life. Even a genius should not be that good. However, after listening to Reannie’s description, Wei Xiao Bei should indeed be considered as a Guo Shu Expert. He felt as if Wei Xiao Bei was loved by the gods. This time, he had invited Wei Xiao Bei to be a guest in his dojo. Other than thanking him from saving Reannie’s life, he had wanted to see how strong this Wei Xiao Bei was. This was the most important point. After all, they were the same in that they walked the martial path. Cheng Bi Wu did not brag to Li Kun Yang, signifying that he should take a look at it by himself. When he first saw Wei Xiao Bei at the doors, he could tell just from Wei Xiao Bei’s appearance, that he was someone with extreme self-confidence, and his movements were as steady as Mt Tai. In truth, the number of young people at that age having that kind of temperament and movement was simply none. This was completely the air of a master. People who did not have enough confidence would not have this kind of aura. Even with that, Li Kun Yang was still a bit doubtful. When Wei Xiao Bei and Li Kun Yang were sitting down and drinking tea, the disciples in the front few rows also accompanied them and sat down, while the rest accompanied them by standing. As for Reannie, she was excitedly busying herself. In one moment, she would pour water into the teapot. In the next moment, she would stand behind her father and cast a glance at Wei Xiao Bei from time to time. Even if Reannie was only 18 years old, she already understood many things. For girls of this age, it was easy for an outstanding person like Wei Xiao Bei with a good appearance to create a good impression. It was impossible to call this love at first sight. However, they had met in the Dust World. Compared to strangers or even fellow disciples, she felt a different sense of intimacy. Whether it was because of her good impression of him or something else, she had been very polite. On the contrary, this made the disciples attempting to woo Reannie go wild with envy Humans were creatures that would easily do things that overstep bounds when it came to impulses. In just a few moments, before Li Kun Yang continued speaking, a French youth of around 27 years old with fair skin walked forward. He first cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei and then spoke to Li Kun Yang with fluent Chinese, “Master, we disciples are curious about martial Uncle Wei’s martial arts. Martial Uncle Wei, please give us some pointers.” Just from the speech alone, this person was trying to ask for pointers by using his master as an intermediary, but his and the other people’s thoughts were different. No matter how impressive and awe-inspiring Wei Xiao Bei was in the Dust World, he was just a 22-year-old youth. He could not understand their thoughts at all. On the contrary, Li Kun Yang was already 40. He immediately understood things just by looking at the situation. He originally wanted to stop it, but he changed his mind as he smiled and made an introduction, “This is my seventh personal disciple, Benjamin.” After his introduction, Li Kun Yang looked at all his disciples and made a serious expression, “Your martial Uncle Wei had finally dropped by Paris. This is a rare chance for everyone. You must try to learn a few things from him or it would be a waste.” Li Kun Yang’s words had made the entire hall erupt. Not only those who had hostility against Wei Xiao Bei stood out, but even a few disciples that were higher in rank also stood up. Just from Li Kun Yang’s words, they understood that their master’s evaluation of this martial uncle was high. Those who had thoughts for Reannie and hostility toward Wei Xiao Bei wanted to defeat Wei Xiao Bei in order to destroy his reputation and let Reannie know who was the better man. On the other hand, those ranked higher sincerely wanted to learn things from Wei Xiao Bei. Whether they were Chinese or French, they could be considered as ignorant. They would not reject anything that could strengthen their own martial arts. They had understood that this was the best and main way of improving their martial arts at their level of skill. Seeing so many people ask for pointers, even if Wei Xiao Bei was an idiot, he understood that there was an issue. “Okay, since I have come, I don’t plan on concealing myself. However, as to how I’m going to give pointers, let’s have brother Li decide.” Wei Xiao Bei smiled and looked at Li Kun Yang. “Stage? Not bad. However, please pardon me for any miscalculations on the stage brother Li.” Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head, agreeing that fighting was the best way to give pointers. It was like how he gave Huang Kun pointers back in the dojo. When did Huang Kun never cry out for his mom and dad? Even Zhu Xin Yi was regularly bruised by his hands. If it was not like that, their martial arts would not improve fast. Even a Guo Shu expert would not be able to become someone’s master with just routine learning. “No problem. There is an infirmary on the second floor. There’s no problem even if you break a few bones.” The reason Wei Xiao Bei was asking this was to confirm what level of action he could perform. On the other hand, Li Kun Yang had responded that it was fine even if bones were broken. Naturally, the meaning of going a bit easy was conveyed in this. If he had actually killed someone, then the joke would be on him.

We actually fought fiercely alongside a martial arts expert who could rival a martial arts grandmaster, and took part in a massive brawl last night with him against our enemies? And even scolded alongside him?\nIn the ring.\nChen Xi looked imposing. \"Who are you really?\"\nZhang Ye laughed. \"I am who I am.\"\nChen Xi said, \"Then which martial school do you belong to?\"\nZhang Ye smiled. \"None of them.\"\nChen Xi asked, \"What martial arts style do you practice?\"\nZhang Ye said, \"Guess.\"\nIn the other side of the ring, Zhou Tianpeng had lost a lot of strength, and it was getting more and more difficult for him to hold out. He was forced to shout, \"Old Chen, get over here! I can't hang on for much longer!\"\nRao Aimin rounded up the set of Eight Trigrams Palm's moves. She was one of the Chinese martial arts world's five grandmasters, and currently the most skilled disciple of the Eight Trigrams Palm. Even the leader of the Eight Trigrams School was slightly less skilled than Rao Aimin, as Rao Aimin had mastered all of the Eight Trigrams Palm's techniques to the pinnacle!\nChen Xi was getting impatient. \"Step aside!\"\n\"No way.\" Zhang Ye smiled.\nChen Xi said soberly, \"You're not my equal.\"\nZhang Ye said, \"You can't do anything to me anyway. And if I try my best, I might even be able to injure you some!\" In his game ring's inventory, he still had the 1-Up item that he'd received a long time ago from the lottery draw. With two lives, he would naturally be more confident in such a situation!\nChen Xi said with a dark expression, \"This is none of your business. Why would you want to make our entire martial arts world your enemy?\"\nZhang Ye chuckled. \"Do you and Zhou Tianpeng represent our entire martial arts world? And even if you do, who cares if I make you two my enemy? This bro has offended many people, so it's not like including our martial arts world amongst them would make any difference to me!\"\nChen Xi was enraged. \"You talk really big!\"\nZhang Ye laughed, \"Hur hur, that's because you do not know me.\"\nThat's right, Zhang Ye was not actually talking big!\nIn the audience, when Yan Hui and Lu Yuhu heard this, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At the venue today, perhaps only the two of them really knew that \"Chen Zhen\" was speaking the truth. He really did not care if he offended the Chinese martial arts world, as this fellow had already offended too many peers from too many different industries. His nickname of \"shit stirrer\" was definitely not for nothing! He was a professional shit stirrer with 20 years of experience! The only thing they probably did not expect was that he would come to stir shit in the Chinese martial arts world!\nZhang Ye's eyes narrowed. He met the attack with his palm and pinned it at Chen Xi's wrist, twisting and squeezing.\nChen Xi's force in his palm was immediately reduced by a good half. With a low yell, his other hand turned towards Zhang Ye's face!\nZhang Ye ducked to dodge and managed to avoid the attack, but then saw Chen Xi changing his attack trajectory, shooting his palm down to smash against Zhang Ye's shoulder. Zhang Ye could not avoid this, and neither did he intend to avoid it. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he lowered his shoulder and went down on one knee, as though he were taking the palm strike on purpose. Surprisingly, he did not suffer any injuries. Then he straightened up and shrugged his shoulder up and returned the attack with an abrupt force!\nChen Xi's concealed power laced palm strike was unexpectedly bounced back by the shoulder's motion and came back to bite him instead!\nJust what was this martial art style?\nWhy did it feel so familiar?\nIn the audience, a veteran master fighter from the National Martial Arts Association suddenly said, \"That looks familiar! Why does that martial arts technique look so familiar?\" Yet he could not pinpoint what it was!\nJust what could this martial arts technique be?\nA lot of people were thinking!\nMeanwhile, Zhang Ye and Chen Xi continued their match against each other in the ring!\nChen Xi was superbly displaying the Huashan Sect's martial arts. Sinister and ruthless moves were the characteristics of their martial sect. It was a very difficult martial arts style to face!\nHowever, Zhang Ye's coping of it astonished the spectators further and further!\nZhang Ye did not make many moves, but every move he did make skillfully deflected all of the incoming attacks!\nRepulse!\nDeflect!\nThrust!\nPush!\nYank!\nSever!\nElbow!\nNegating the force! Transforming the force! Applying the force!\nPlaced in a situation where his skills were inferior to his opponent, he still managed to fight on equal footing with Chen Xi!\nLu Yuhu was excitedly cheering, \"Amazing! So cool!\"\nZhao Yunlong rejoiced. \"Great fighting!\"\nSong Jiao shouted excitedly, \"Beautiful! Very beautiful!\"\nXu Fan was amazed. \"Great kung fu!\"\nA female disciple of the Eight Trigrams Palm was in disbelief even now. \"Damn! That guy is actually a match for a grandmaster! Wh-What is this kung fu!\"\nIt was obvious to everyone that Chen Xi's martial arts were better than \"Chen Zhen's,\" but \"Chen Zhen's\" martial arts were just too strange and unconventional. It was a totally different type of martial arts that did not follow any known form within the Chinese martial arts world, yet everyone knew that it was not randomly executed by the fighter. This was absolutely a complete style of Chinese martial arts, from its defense to its attacks!\nThe Huashan Sect disciples were both astonished and angered!\n\"Master!\"\n\"Come on!\"\n\"The Huashan Sect will definitely emerge victorious!\"\n\"Master shall emerge victorious!\"\nTen exchanges had gone by!\nZhang Ye could not do anything to Chen Xi!\nBut neither could Chen Xi do anything to him for the moment!\nChen Xi was growing frustrated the more he fought. If it were his skills that were not a match for the opponent, there was nothing he could do. But the issue was that his skills were better than the opponent's, yet he couldn't do anything to him. This feeling was much too unbearable. He understood that the opponent's martial arts style had an upper hand because he had never seen nor come across it before, so he did not understand the basis of the moves. This was his reason for getting so frustrated. He felt like he couldn't summon any strength at all. There were even a few times the opponent had negated all the force behind his attacks!\nZhou Tianpeng was still shouting, \"Old Chen!\" He was losing ground in his fight!\nChen Xi was frantic.\nWhy?\nWhy did this martial arts style feel so familiar when he had clearly never encountered it before?\nHe could not understand! He could not understand no matter how he thought about it!\nEveryone in the crowd was gawking!\n\"Why did it turn out like this?\"\n\"Why?\"\n\"My goodness, what martial arts style is that?\"\n\"How can there be such an awesome martial arts style?\"\n\"He clearly did not exert any strength, so how did he negate his opponent's force?\"\n\"How did he manage to block that move?\"\n\"Eh, how did he bounce that attack back? Grandmaster Chen has not managed to land a single hit yet!\"\n\"This is too weird!\"\n\"Which sect's kung fu is that?\"\nAll of a sudden, the Kunlun Sect leader in the audience was also stunned. \"How can it be! How is that possible!?\" He had also realized what it was and wore a shocked expression!\n\"Yes! It's definitely that!\"\n\"That is what we call a force of four taels yielding a thousand catties!\"\n\"A balance of yin and yang, hardness coupled with softness. It's definitely that! It has to be!\"\nQuite a number of the large sects' leaders or elders had recognized it by now and were also dumbfounded when they realized!\nBut most of the others still did not understand!\n\"Ah?\"\n\"What is it?\"\n\"What kung fu is that?\"\n\"Why is everyone reacting like that?\"\nLiu Yiquan, He Badao, and the other non-affiliates could not understand!\nThe Eight Trigrams School's disciples were also confused. What major events had they not witnessed before in the many years of their lives? Why were all of these veteran martial arts masters looking so horrified? What sort of kung fu made you react in such a way? What sort of kung fu has astonished you so much?\nFinally, the answer was revealed!\nAs the saying went, those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those not. Chen Xi heard the shouting from outside the ring and something clicked in his head. He finally understood too. His expression changed greatly and he suddenly stopped attacking. He took a few steps back in extreme dread and gazed at Zhang Ye like he had seen a ghost. He stared at the stance that Zhang Ye was in and bellowed, \"H-How do you know Taiji Fist!?\"" } ]
第934章 【你怎么可能会太极拳！ ？ 满场震惊！ 好多人都吓得不会说话了，他们根本无法接受眼前的事！ 就连正在比斗中的饶爱敏都不可思议道：“我草，你小子怎么他妈把暗劲都给练出来了？ 你打鸡血了啊？” 张烨耸肩，“你不知道的多了。” 饶爱敏给了周天鹏那边一掌，道：“那老娘可不管你了，姓陈的老鬼交给你了！” “本来不就是这么安排的么？” 张烨盯着陈喜，一动不动，“你一个，我一个！ 昨晚打群架，曾经跟张烨交过手的那些人此刻都是一身的冷汗，他们心想，辛亏这人昨天是用板砖砸的他们，如果他用的是今天这一个推手推在他们脑袋上，那他们今天就真的别想站在这里了！ 华山派的范文面沉如水！ 华山派之前叫嚣要和张烨比武的那个师兄，也尴尬得一声不吭，其实他也是被吓得不轻，心有余悸的很，心里骂道：我草啊，你他-娘-的把暗劲都给练出来了，还站在散修那边跟我们扯什么皮啊你！ 宗师之下，哪个人是你的对手啊？ 八卦砖你妹啊我草！ 那边。 一清瘦的散修呆呆看向刘一拳等人，“那人是跟你们一路来的吧？” 刘一拳擦汗，“是。” 又一女散修呆呆地问道：“你们怎么认识他的？” 刘一掌一张脸比别人还骇然，“我和我哥还有老何老李是在过来的车上碰见他的，他带着一个孩子，说也是武林中人，把请柬弄丢了，要跟我们一路去，说他叫陈真，师父是霍元甲？ 还有黄什么？” 李全能记性好，“黄飞鸿。” “对，是这个名字。” 何霸道也点头道。 一个资深散修说道：“国术界有点头脸的高手，根本就没有叫黄飞鸿和霍元甲的，更没有叫陈真的人！ 这肯定是假名字！ 我们居然和一个国术大师走了一路？ 我们昨晚居然和一位能和国术宗师硬拼的大高手一起同仇敌忾地打了一场群架？ 还一起骂街？ 擂台上。 陈喜面色凝重，“你到底是谁？” 张烨笑了笑，“我就是我。” 陈喜道：“你哪门哪派？” 张烨微笑，“无门无派。” 陈喜道：“这是什么功夫？” 张烨道：“你猜。” 那边的周天鹏体力已经耗掉了很多，支撑得越来越苦，他不禁大叫一声，“老陈，速来！ 我顶不住了！” 饶爱敏一手八卦掌大开大合，这就是国术界五位宗师之一、现今八卦掌功夫最高的人，连现在八卦门门主都要比饶爱敏差了一筹，八卦掌这门国术的所有招式，都已经被饶爱敏演绎到了巅峰！ 陈喜也心下急躁，“让开！” “没门儿。” 张烨笑道。 陈喜认真道：“你不是我的对手。” 张烨说道：“你也耐何不了我，拼一拼的话，指不定你也得挂点彩！” 物品栏中还有一个早就抽中的“奖命”没有用，他现在有两条命，底气自然也足一些！ 陈喜黑脸道：“这件事跟你没关系，你要和整个国术界为敌吗？” 哥们儿得罪的人多了，也不差你们国术界！” 陈喜怒了，“话说的真大啊！” 张烨笑了，“呵呵，那是你不认识我。” 是的，其实张烨的话一点也不大！ 台下的严辉和吕玉虎听了，都是哭笑不得，可能现场只有他们俩人知道，“陈真”说的是真的，他真不在乎多得罪一个国术界，因为这厮已经得罪了太多领域太多同行了，“搅屎棍”的诨号不是白叫的！ 人家是专业搅屎二十年的主儿！ 张烨眼睛一眯，一掌迎上，钉在陈喜的手腕上，一扭一压。 陈喜的掌劲被卸掉了大半，低喝一声，另一只手翻向张烨的面门！ 张烨低头躲开，却见陈喜掌风一遍，迅速压下来，竟然一掌砸向了张烨的肩膀，张烨避无可避，也根本没打算避开，居然在所有人震惊的注视下不躲不闪，肩膀一弯，脚下一蹲，好像是硬生生挨了一掌，然而却惊人的没有受任何伤，反而是膝盖一直，肩膀微微弹起，猛然回了力！ 陈喜带着暗劲的一掌竟然被生生用肩膀弹了回来，还反震了他一下！ 这到底是什么武功？ 为什么感觉有些熟悉？ 陈喜心下震惊，打的十分不痛快！ 台下的一个国术协会的老拳师也突然道：“眼熟！ 这武功怎么这么眼熟？” 很多人都在思考！ 擂台上的张烨和陈喜再一次交手了！ 陈喜将华山派的功夫使得出神入化，招数又阴又狠，这是他们门派武术的特点，相当难缠！ 可是张烨的应对却让人越看越吃惊！ 张烨出手不多，可每一招都是四两拨千斤！ 掤！ 捋！ 挤！ 按！ 采！ 挒！ 肘！ 靠！ 卸力！ 借力！ 硬生在功力不及对方的情况下，和陈喜打了一个旗鼓相当！ 吕玉虎激动喝彩，“太牛了！ 太牛了！” 赵云龙大喜，“打得好！” 宋娇兴奋叫道：“漂亮！ 太漂亮了！” 徐凡惊叹不已，“好功夫啊！” 这人真能和宗师打一个平手啊！ 这，这是什么功夫啊！” 明明谁都看得出来，陈喜的功力还是要比“陈真”高一筹的，然而这“陈真”的武术实在太邪门了，太诡异了，太不按套路了，这是一个完全不按照国术界传统武功套路出牌的武术，可是谁都知道对方并不是瞎打的，这绝对是一套极其完善的国术武学，从防守到进攻自成一脉！ 华山派的人惊怒交加！ “师父！” “加油啊！” “华山派必胜！” “师父必胜！” 十多招过去了！ 张烨奈何不了陈喜！ 可是，陈喜短时间内也奈何不了他！ 陈喜越打越窝火，要是功力不及对方也就罢了，偏偏他功力比对方深一些，却也无可奈何，这种感觉简直太难受了，他明白，是对方的功夫占了便宜，这种套路的武功陈喜从没有遇见过，从没有交过手，所以完全摸不清套路，这才打得越来越憋屈，好像根本发不了力，有几次都被对方卸掉了！ 周天鹏还在喊，“老陈！” 他已经节节败退！ 陈喜也急疯了。 为什么？ 为什么明明没交过手，却觉得这武功很熟悉啊？ 他想不明白！ 怎么也想不明白！ 全场众人也都在傻眼地看着！ “怎么会这样？” “为什么啊？” “我草是什么武功？” “怎么会有这么牛-逼的武术？” “他明明没用力，怎么就把力卸掉了？” “这一招他怎么挡住的？” “啊，怎么弹回去了？ 陈宗师根本没打上！” “太邪门了啊！” “这是哪一派的功夫啊？” 突然之间，台下一位国术协会资历极老的拳师猛然间大叫了一声，“我知道了！ 我知道了！” “是的！ 肯定是的！” “阴-阳开合，刚柔并济，错不了！ 绝对错不了！” 不少大派掌门或门派长老都认出来了，也都傻了！ 大多数人都没明白！ “啊？” “是什么？” “这什么功夫啊？” “为啥都这个表情啊？” 刘一拳何霸道他们这些散修看不懂！ 八卦门的一帮人也云里雾里，这么多年的大风大浪你们什么没见过？ 怎么那些老拳师一个个都是这么惊恐的表情？ 终于，答案被揭晓了！ 所谓当局者迷，这一刻，陈喜听到下面的喊声后，也脑袋嗡的一震，后知后觉地认出来了，他脸色一瞬间大变，一下子收住了手，极其忌惮地向后连退了数步，一脸见了鬼一般的表情盯住了张烨，盯住了他正摆着的一招起手式，大声叫道：“你，你怎么可能会太极拳！ ？”
Chapter 934: How do you know Taiji Fist!? Translator: Legge Editor: Legge The entire venue was in shock! A lot of people were so shocked that they could not even say a thing. They were having trouble accepting all that was playing out in front of them! Even the currently fighting Rao Aimin said in disbelief, "What the fuck, how did a rascal like you learn to use concealed power? Are you on steroids or something?" Zhang Ye shrugged. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me." Rao Aimin threw a palm strike at Zhou Tianpeng, then said, "Then I won't be worrying about you anymore. I'll leave that old Chen fogey to you!" "Wasn't that what we agreed on from the start?" Zhang Ye watched Chen Xi closely, but did not make any moves. "You take one, and I take one! That's what a two-vee-two is!" Those people who had encountered Zhang Ye and exchanged blows with him during last night's mass brawl were all breaking out into cold sweat now. They thought to themselves just how lucky it was that this guy had only used a brick to smash them yesterday. If he had used his attacks like he was today and attacked their heads, they probably would not be sitting here today! The Huashan Sect's Fan Wen wore a solemn expression! The Huashan Sect senior bro who had tried to incite Zhang Ye to a duel earlier was now so embarrassed that he did not dare utter a word. In fact, he was very frightened by the turn of events and cursed in his mind with a lingering sense of fear. Fuck, if you could already use concealed power, why did you still bother to argue back and forth with us while standing together with those non-affiliates! Like any one of us below grandmaster level were a match for you? But you? You even scolded and hassled us? How could you be so devious! Eight Trigrams Brick, your sister! Fuck! Elsewhere. A lean non-affiliate looked at Liu Yiquan and the others, dumbfounded. "That guy traveled here with your group, right?" Liu Yiquan wiped at his sweat. "Yes." A female non-affiliate asked them woodenly, "How did you guys get to know him?" Liu Yizhang looked more aghast than anyone around him. "Me and my brother, plus Old He and Old Li, met him on the bus while we were traveling here. He had a kid with him and told us that he was also a member of the martial arts community. He said that he had lost his invite and asked if he could travel with us. He said his name was Chen Zhen and his master was someone named Huo Yuanjia? And there was also another master called Huang something?" Li Quanneng had a better memory. "Huang Feihong." "Right, that's the name," agreed He Badao while nodding. One of the veteran non-affiliates said, "In our martial arts world, among the worthy experts, there is no one named Huang Feihong or Huo Yuanjia. Neither is there anyone called Chen Zhen! That must be a fake name! Him losing his invite must have been an excuse, since he probably did not even have one in the first place. He was never invited to this National Martial Arts Conference!" Many of the non-affiliates did not seem too bothered by it. All of them could only think of one thing, the same thing: Oh my god! We actually traveled together with a Chinese martial arts expert? We actually fought fiercely alongside a martial arts expert who could rival a martial arts grandmaster, and took part in a massive brawl last night with him against our enemies? And even scolded alongside him? In the ring. Chen Xi looked imposing. "Who are you really?" Zhang Ye laughed. "I am who I am." Chen Xi said, "Then which martial school do you belong to?" Zhang Ye smiled. "None of them." Chen Xi asked, "What martial arts style do you practice?" Zhang Ye said, "Guess." In the other side of the ring, Zhou Tianpeng had lost a lot of strength, and it was getting more and more difficult for him to hold out. He was forced to shout, "Old Chen, get over here! I can't hang on for much longer!" Rao Aimin rounded up the set of Eight Trigrams Palm's moves. She was one of the Chinese martial arts world's five grandmasters, and currently the most skilled disciple of the Eight Trigrams Palm. Even the leader of the Eight Trigrams School was slightly less skilled than Rao Aimin, as Rao Aimin had mastered all of the Eight Trigrams Palm's techniques to the pinnacle! Chen Xi was getting impatient. "Step aside!" "No way." Zhang Ye smiled. Chen Xi said soberly, "You're not my equal." Zhang Ye said, "You can't do anything to me anyway. And if I try my best, I might even be able to injure you some!" In his game ring's inventory, he still had the 1-Up item that he'd received a long time ago from the lottery draw. With two lives, he would naturally be more confident in such a situation! Chen Xi said with a dark expression, "This is none of your business. Why would you want to make our entire martial arts world your enemy?" Zhang Ye chuckled. "Do you and Zhou Tianpeng represent our entire martial arts world? And even if you do, who cares if I make you two my enemy? This bro has offended many people, so it's not like including our martial arts world amongst them would make any difference to me!"

However, Zhang Ye's coping of it astonished the spectators further and further! Zhang Ye did not make many moves, but every move he did make skillfully deflected all of the incoming attacks! Repulse! Deflect! Thrust! Push! Yank! Sever! Elbow! Negating the force! Transforming the force! Applying the force! Placed in a situation where his skills were inferior to his opponent, he still managed to fight on equal footing with Chen Xi! Lu Yuhu was excitedly cheering, "Amazing! So cool!" Zhao Yunlong rejoiced. "Great fighting!" Song Jiao shouted excitedly, "Beautiful! Very beautiful!" Xu Fan was amazed. "Great kung fu!" A female disciple of the Eight Trigrams Palm was in disbelief even now. "Damn! That guy is actually a match for a grandmaster! Wh-What is this kung fu!"

"The Huashan Sect will definitely emerge victorious!" "Master shall emerge victorious!" Ten exchanges had gone by! Zhang Ye could not do anything to Chen Xi!

Shentu Ren was in a wheelchair and pushing it was his most loyal subordinate, Fu Chuan-Fu. Fu Ming-Mei and a few other bodyguards were also following behind and security was tight.\nXia Lei parked his car and walked over. Shentu Tian-Yin smiled at him. Her dimpled smile was exceptionally bright under the spring sun. With an exquisitely beautiful face and delicate, sexy body, her beauty was flawless.\nShentu Ren lifted a hand and waved at Xia Lei.\nXia Lei strode over and said with a smile, “Uncle Ren, you can wave now. You’re recovering well.”\n“This is all thanks to you.” Shentu Ren smiled as he said, “I’d still be lying in bed waiting for death if it weren’t for you.”\n“You’re too kind, Uncle Ren,” said Xia Lei.\n“Right, what have you been busy with these days? You haven’t come to see me in a while.” Shentu Ren pretended to look unhappy.\n“There were some problems at the company. I wanted to visit you too but I couldn’t find the time,” said Xia Lei.\n“Has it been settled?” asked Shentu Ren.\n“All settled,” said Xia Lei.\n“That’s good. Feel free to tell me if you have any problems in the future. I’ll definitely help if I can,” said Shentu Ren.\n“Yes, thank you,” said Xia Lei politely.\n“Let’s go in,” said Shentu Tian-Yin.\n“You two go in first. I’d like Chuan-Fu to accompany me in basking in the sun. Oh, the sunshine’s lovely today. Warms you all up inside and it’s comfortable,” said Shentu Ren.\nShentu Tian-Yin looked at Xia Lei and gave him a small smile. “Let’s go in and walk around.”\n“Nn, okay.” Xia Lei followed Shentu Tian-Yin through the gates of the park.\nThe park was lively and crowded with young and old, young couples and even some vendors selling things. Not one bodyguard from Shentu Tian-Yin’s entourage followed, not even her personal bodyguard Fu Ming-Mei. She still felt very safe with Xia Lei by her side. She walked with Xia Lei to the busiest part of the park.\n“I want to eat a sugar figure.” Shentu Tian-Yin was like a little girl again when they passed a vendor. Her eyes sparkled and she did not walk further.\n“Buy one if you want to eat it,” said Xia Lei with a laugh.\nShentu Tian-Yin looked embarrassed. “I didn’t bring any money.”\n“I’ll get one for you.” Xia Lei walked to the vendor’s booth.\nShentu Tian-Yin drew close. “I want the phoenix figure.”\nXia Lei picked a phoenix figure up and handed it to Shentu Tian-Yin.\nShentu Tian-Yin bent and picked a dragon figure, then put it in Xia Lei’s hand. “You eat this one.”\nXia Lei laughed. “I haven’t eaten a sugar figure in years. It’s nice to try it again.”\nXia Lei paid and was pulled to another busy area by Shentu Tian-Yin. After making a circle, the two of them got into a cable car. The view from the cable car was wide and one could see the sea and the mountains surrounding the park. It was nice.\n“Why didn’t you ask me for help the last time?” asked Shentu Tian-Yin as she watched the view beyond the window.\nShe was now the queen of Vientaine Group, a stark contrast to her girlish joy earlier; a great aura burst forth from her.\n“I did think of asking you for help but I thought more about it and… it would mean a war between yourself and the Gu clan’s North Group. It’s like sacrificing a thousand of your own to kill 800 of the enemy, so why do something so disadvantageous? I can solve my problem,” said Xia Lei.\nXia Lei had not only solved his problem but had managed to do even better under the Gu clan’s assault. His branch company was being built quickly and the various outsourced companies were also busy completing orders for Thunder Horse Manufacturing. He would probably have maintained his previous status quo without the Gu clan’s attempt to shut him down and wouldn’t have thought of a branch company and outsourcing.\nShentu Tian-Yin looked away from the scenery and at Xia Lei. She smiled faintly as she said, “The Gu clan is large but they did not manage to trouble you. Gu Ding-Shan’s pride must be very hurt. But a person with his personality won’t just let it go. You have to be careful. Don’t forget about me the next time he makes trouble for you; don’t reject my help.”\nXia Lei grinned. “I’ll definitely ask you for help if I need it.”\n“Nn… You’re not keeping in contact with Miss Liang?”\nXia Lei shook his head. He did not say anything; he did not know what he should say. He had not even told Long Bing of Liang Si-Yao’s identity, so how could he tell Shentu Tian-Yin?\nShentu Tian-Yin did not press the matter and quieted. She had told her father that she was Shentu Tian-Yin and that the man she liked should be the one wooing her but she had not received even a phone call from Xia Lei, much less him taking the initiative to invite her out for a meal or a movie. Her self-confidence was starting to crumble and this was probably the reason why she had invited Xia Lei out for a walk in the park on the first day of the Spring Festival. However, Xia Lei had not paid her a lot of attention nor buttered her up as she had expected. She was a little disappointed by that.\nXia Lei’s gaze went out the window too and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of something and his gaze fixed on the ground.\nA young man was holding a camera and taking pictures of him and Shentu Tian-Yin in the cable car.\nTaking pictures of a cable car suspended in the air? Xia Lei had a sense of misgiving. The young man came into sharp focus in his left eye and the first impressions Xia Lei got when he saw the young man’s face were cold detachment and ruthlessness.\nThe young man seemed to have sensed Xia Lei watching him through the lenses of his camera. He turned his camera away and pretended to shoot other things. He took some shots, then mixed in with the crowd.\nXia Lei, however, had his eye on the young man. The young man walked in the opposite direction and Xia Lei lost sight of him as the cable car went on its way up towards the mountaintop.\n‘That guy was obviously observing me and Tian-Yin. Is he from the Gu clan or from the CIA?’ wondered Xia Lei.\nThe Gu clan had been quiet recently and the CIA did not seem to have made any moves after Liang Si-Yao left China. It looked to be all peaceful on the surface but Xia Lei had not let down his guard for a single day. He knew that the Gu clan would not let him off and the CIA would not ‘give up’ on the only person who had taken AE pills.\n“What are you looking at?” Shentu Tian-Yin broke the silence in the cable car.\n“There was someone taking pictures of us,” said Xia Lei.\nShentu Tian-Yin looked out the window but all she saw was a thick patch of forest. There were many people all around but she could not even see the face of the closest person clearly. “Where?” she asked curiously.\n“He’d already left when I discovered him, walking in the opposite direction,” said Xia Lei.\nShentu Tian-Yin looked again but it was too far away. “Maybe you’re so nervous that you made a mistake,” she said with a smile.\nWould a person who didn’t need a scope on a sniper rifle make a mistake? Xia Lei was sure of what he had seen, but he could not guess if that person was from the Gu clan or the CIA. The latter situation worried him more.\n“Oh, right, I heard you opened a branch company in Sichuan. How’s it progressing?” Shentu Tian-Yin changed the topic.\n“It’s going all right. Production can start in two or three months,” said Xia Lei.\n“You can ask me if you lack funds. I may not be able to help you in other matters but I can help you in this anytime,” said Shentu Tian-Yin.\nXia Lei suddenly thought of Annina’s two plans - one needed 2.5 billion for an engine production base and the other was to make guns and needed three hundred million. He lacked the funds for both plans. How much would Shentu Tian-Yin lend him if he asked?\nThe thought of borrowing money crossed his mind but a protest surfaced in his head at the same time. ‘She may be able to lend me a few hundred million but billions are too much. She and Shentu Ren would think I helped them for money if I asked to borrow so much, won’t they? All for their money. Even if I did have the funds for the engine production base plan, the requirements for it have not been met yet. As for the sniper rifle plan, the government would give me a loan even if I lacked money, and it’ll be the type of loan with no interest either. There is no need for me to borrow money from her, and owe her a favour in the end, right?’\nIt was true. He did not have to worry about money at all if he picked Annina’s second plan of producing guns. Bureau 101 wished for him to do this, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent Annina to be a ‘spokesperson’ for it. He only had to nod and agree for the government to give him money and equipment.\nThere was another problem to consider when borrowing money from the Shentu clan - what should he say if Shentu Tian-Yin or Shentu Ren wanted shares?\nThere was a smile on Xia Lei’s face as he thought that and he said, “Thank you. I don’t need it for now. I’ll definitely come ask to borrow from you if we lack the funds. Don’t reject me what that time comes.”\nShentu Tian-Yin rolled her eyes at Xia Lei. “Try asking and see if I’ll lend it to you.”\n“Then can you lend me ten yuan now?” said Xia Lei with a smile.\nShentu Tian-Yin paused as she remembered that she had no cash on her. She looked at Xia Lei in embarrassment, and her eyes filled with an adorable grumpiness.\nXia Lei chuckled. “I’m just joking. I’ll definitely ask you for help if I need a loan.”\nThe cable car stopped in the middle and Xia Lei and Shentu Tian-Yin went to the viewing platform. Xia Lei scanned the tourists on the platform but did not see that young man.\n“Don’t go back home in the afternoon. Come to my place for a meal,” said Shentu Tian-Yin.\n“Sure. I can also give Uncle Ren a massage and do some acupuncture on him to help him in his recovery,” said Xia Lei.\nShentu Tian-Yin pursed her lips in a smile and said, “Father is full of praise for you; he talks about you all day. You should come visit more often.”\n“Nn, I’ll come often in the future. Let’s go down. Your father and his group must have entered the park by now,” said Xia Lei.\nThe two of them took the cable car down and met Shentu Ren in the park. They laughed and chatted as they walked around the park. Xia Lei used his left eye to scan his surroundings again but did not spot the young man. He did not spot him but Xia Lei still had a strange feeling that the young man was hidden in some place he couldn’t see and was observing him.\n‘A person even I cannot see - how great is his anti-surveillance ability? Who is he?’ That young man was like a ghost and his face lingered in Xia Lei’s mind." } ]
0245章 大年初一逛街逛公园，上寺庙，这是华人的风俗，这一点亿万富翁也不例外。 夏雷驱车来到景山公园的时候，申屠天音和申屠仁一群人已经等在那里了。 申屠仁坐在轮椅上，推轮椅的是他最忠诚的手下，傅传福。 还有傅明美和几个保镖跟随着，防范严密。 春日的阳光下，有着两只酒窝的笑容倍显明媚。 精致绝伦的美丽脸蛋，精雕细琢般的性感身材，她的美让人无可挑剔。 申屠仁抬起了一只手，向夏雷招了招。 夏雷大步走了过去，笑着说道：“仁叔，你已经能抬手了，恢复得不错啊。” “这还不是多亏了你。” 申屠仁笑着说道：“如果没有你，我恐怕还在床上等死。” “仁叔你客气了。” 夏雷说。 “对了，这段时间在忙什么？ 这么久都不来看我。” 夏雷说道：“公司出了点问题，我也想来看你，不过抽不出时间。” “解决了吗？” 申屠仁问。 夏雷说道：“都解决了。” 申屠仁说道：“那就好，以后要是遇到什么麻烦尽管开口，只要是我能办到的，我一定帮你。” “嗯，谢谢。” 申屠天音说道：“我们进去吧。” 申屠仁说道：“你们先进去，我让传福陪我晒一会太阳。 嗯，今天的阳光真好，晒得人浑身暖洋洋的，很舒服。” 申屠天音看着夏雷，浅浅地笑了一下，“那我们进去逛一逛吧。” “嗯，好。” 夏雷跟着申屠天音进了公园的大门。 公园里的人很多，老人小孩，年轻的情侣，还有卖东西的小贩，场面很是热闹。 申屠天音带来的保镖一个都没跟来，就连她的贴身保镖傅明美也没跟来。 不过有夏雷在她的身边，她的安全感却是很强的。 夏雷笑着说道：“想吃就买吧。” 申屠天音有点尴尬的样子，“可是我没带钱。” “我去给你买。” 夏雷往卖糖人的小摊走了过去。 申屠天音凑到了夏雷的身边，“我要吃凤凰。” 夏雷从草把上取了一只凤凰糖人给申屠天音。 申屠天音却又从草把上取了一只龙形的糖人放在了夏雷的手里，“你吃这个。” 夏雷笑道：“我也好多年没吃糖人了，尝尝也好。” 夏雷付了钱，又被申屠天音拉着往别的热闹的地方走。 逛了一圈，两人坐进了一辆观光缆车。 观光缆车里的视野开阔，可以看见大海，还有公园的三面环山的景色，很不错。 “上次的事情，为什么不让我帮忙？” 观光缆车里，申屠天音看着窗外的景色问道。 刚才还是一副小女孩般的活泼快乐的样子，这会儿却变成万象集团的女王了，她的身上有着很强的气场。 夏雷说道：“我其实有想过接受你的帮助，可我考虑过，你帮我，无非是向古家的北方集团开战。 杀敌八百自损一千，这种不划算的事情又何必去做？ 我能解决。” 事实上夏雷不仅解决了问题，还在古家的绞杀高压之下爆发了一把，分公司正在快速建设之中，各地的外包公司也在加班加点地完成雷马制造公司的订单。 如果没有这次古家的绞杀，他大概还在安于现状，开分公司和产品外包这种事情就连想到没有想过。 申屠天音从窗外收回了视线，她看着夏雷，嘴角带着淡淡的笑意，“那么大一个古家却奈何不了你，古定山这次算是颜面扫地了。 不过，以他的个性，他不会就这么算了的。 夏雷笑了笑，“如果有需要，我肯定会告诉你的。” “嗯……这段时间没和梁小姐联系吗？” 夏雷摇了摇头，什么都没说，他不知道该说什么。 梁思瑶的身份他连龙冰都没有告诉，又怎么能告诉申屠天音？ 申屠天音也没有追问，她也安静了下来。 她曾经对她的父亲申屠仁说过，她是申屠天音，她喜欢的男人应该来追求她，可是一段时间过后夏雷连一个电话都没有，更别说是主动约她吃饭看电影什么的了。 她的自信心也开始动摇了，这大概也是她大年初一约夏雷出来逛公园的原因。 夏雷的视线也移到了窗外，却是不经意间的一瞥，他的视线停留在了地面上。 一个青年正拿着相机在对着他和申屠天音乘坐的缆车拍照。 夏雷的心中顿时泛起了一丝疑惑。 在他的左眼的视线里，地面上的青年眨眼就变得清晰了起来。 阴狠、冷漠，这是夏雷看清楚青年的面貌之后的第一感觉。 青年似乎也从单反相机的镜头里面看到了夏雷正在看他，他跟着移开了镜头，假装去拍摄其它的地方。 他随手拍了几张照片，然后混入了人群之中。 夏雷的视线却始终锁在青年的身上。 不过青年走的是相反的方向，缆车匀速向山顶方向滑行，一段距离之后夏雷还是失去了目标。 “那家伙明显是在监视我和天音，他是古家的人，还是cia？” 古家这一段时间里很平静，美国cia在梁思瑶离开华国之后也没有任何动作。 表面上看倒是一种风平浪静的局面，可夏雷却没有一天放松警惕，因为他知道古家不可能放过他，而cia也绝对不会“放弃”他这一个唯一服用了ce胶囊的人。 “你在看什么？” 申屠天音打破了缆车里的沉默。 “刚才有个人在对我们拍照。” 申屠天音凑到窗前往下看了一眼，但她看到的却是一片茂密的山林。 远处倒是有很多人，可她连距离最近的人的面孔都无法看清。 她好奇地道：“在哪？” 夏雷说道：“我发现他的时候他已经走了，往相反的方向。” 申屠天音又看了一眼，觉得太远，她笑着说道：“或许是你太紧张了吧，看走眼了。” 一个使用狙击步枪就连瞄准镜都不需要的人会看走眼吗？ 夏雷很清楚他看见了什么，不过他猜不到对方究竟是古家的人还是cia的人。 相比前一种情况，后一种情况更让他担心。 “对了，我知道你在蜀地开了一家分公司，进度如何？” 申屠天音转移了话题。 夏雷说道：“还行，再两三月就能投产了。” “缺钱的话尽管开口，别的忙我也许帮不上，但这样的忙我却是随时可以帮你。” 申屠天音说道。 夏雷忽然想到了阿妮娜的两个计划，一个是需要二十五亿的制造汽车发动机的计划，一个是生产狙击步枪的计划，需要三亿资金。 无论是哪个计划他都拿不出钱来，如果找申屠天音借，她大概能借他多少呢？ 开口借钱的念头闪过心头，夏雷的脑海里却同时响起了一个否定的声音，“她或许能借我几亿，但二三十亿却是太多了。 我帮过她，我找她借这么多钱，她和申屠仁恐怕会认为我是那种施恩图报的人吧？ 我又何必向她借钱，反过来欠她人情？” 确实，如果选择阿妮娜的第二个生产狙击步枪的计划，他根本不需要为钱的事情操心，因为101局希望他这么做，不然也不会派来阿妮娜这个“说客”。 向申屠家借钱还需要考虑一个问题，如果申屠天音或者申屠仁开口要股份，那个时候他怎么回答呢？ 心里虽然这样想着，夏雷的面上却露出了笑容，“谢谢，我暂时不需要，如果真到了缺钱的时候，我一定会找你开口。 那个时候，你可不要拒绝我。” 申屠天音娇媚地白了夏雷一眼，“你试着开个口试试，你看我借不借给你。” 夏雷笑着说道：“那你现在能借我十块钱吗？” 申屠天音愣了一下，她这才想起她身上没带钱。 她尴尬地看着夏雷，眼神里带着娇啧的意味。 夏雷呵呵笑道：“我跟你开玩笑的，真到了要借钱的时候，我肯定找你借。” 缆车在终点站停了下来，夏雷和申屠天音来到了观景平台上。 夏雷观察了一下平台上的游客，却再也没有发现那个青年。 “今天中午就别回家了吧，去我家吃。” 申屠天音说。 夏雷说道：“好吧，我也正好给仁书按摩和针灸一下，这样能帮助他恢复。” 申屠天音抿嘴笑道：“我爸对你赞不绝口，成天都在我耳边念叨你，你真该多来我家看看他。” “嗯，以后我会常来的。 我们下山吧，你爸他们这会儿也应该进公园了。” 夏雷说道。 夏雷再次动用左眼的能力观察了四周的环境，但还是没有找到那个青年。 然而，虽然看不见他，但夏雷却仍然有一种奇怪的感觉，他觉得那个青年正躲在某个他无法发现的地方窥探着他。 “一个连我都看不见的人，他的反监视能力有多强？ 他是谁？” 那个青年就像是一个幽灵，而他的样子在夏雷的脑海里挥之不去。
Chapter 245 - Dragon And Phoenix Sugar Figures It was the Chinese way to take a walk in the park and go pray at the temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the rich were no different. Shentu Tian-Yin and Shentu Ren were already waiting when Xia Lei drove to the park. Shentu Ren was in a wheelchair and pushing it was his most loyal subordinate, Fu Chuan-Fu. Fu Ming-Mei and a few other bodyguards were also following behind and security was tight. Xia Lei parked his car and walked over. Shentu Tian-Yin smiled at him. Her dimpled smile was exceptionally bright under the spring sun. With an exquisitely beautiful face and delicate, sexy body, her beauty was flawless. Shentu Ren lifted a hand and waved at Xia Lei. Xia Lei strode over and said with a smile, “Uncle Ren, you can wave now. You’re recovering well.” “This is all thanks to you.” Shentu Ren smiled as he said, “I’d still be lying in bed waiting for death if it weren’t for you.” “You’re too kind, Uncle Ren,” said Xia Lei. “Right, what have you been busy with these days? You haven’t come to see me in a while.” Shentu Ren pretended to look unhappy. “There were some problems at the company. I wanted to visit you too but I couldn’t find the time,” said Xia Lei. “Has it been settled?” asked Shentu Ren. “All settled,” said Xia Lei. “That’s good. Feel free to tell me if you have any problems in the future. I’ll definitely help if I can,” said Shentu Ren. “Yes, thank you,” said Xia Lei politely. “Let’s go in,” said Shentu Tian-Yin. “You two go in first. I’d like Chuan-Fu to accompany me in basking in the sun. Oh, the sunshine’s lovely today. Warms you all up inside and it’s comfortable,” said Shentu Ren. Shentu Tian-Yin looked at Xia Lei and gave him a small smile. “Let’s go in and walk around.” “Nn, okay.” Xia Lei followed Shentu Tian-Yin through the gates of the park. The park was lively and crowded with young and old, young couples and even some vendors selling things. Not one bodyguard from Shentu Tian-Yin’s entourage followed, not even her personal bodyguard Fu Ming-Mei. She still felt very safe with Xia Lei by her side. She walked with Xia Lei to the busiest part of the park. “I want to eat a sugar figure.” Shentu Tian-Yin was like a little girl again when they passed a vendor. Her eyes sparkled and she did not walk further. “Buy one if you want to eat it,” said Xia Lei with a laugh. Shentu Tian-Yin looked embarrassed. “I didn’t bring any money.” “I’ll get one for you.” Xia Lei walked to the vendor’s booth. Shentu Tian-Yin drew close. “I want the phoenix figure.” Xia Lei picked a phoenix figure up and handed it to Shentu Tian-Yin. Shentu Tian-Yin bent and picked a dragon figure, then put it in Xia Lei’s hand. “You eat this one.” Xia Lei laughed. “I haven’t eaten a sugar figure in years. It’s nice to try it again.” Xia Lei paid and was pulled to another busy area by Shentu Tian-Yin. After making a circle, the two of them got into a cable car. The view from the cable car was wide and one could see the sea and the mountains surrounding the park. It was nice. “Why didn’t you ask me for help the last time?” asked Shentu Tian-Yin as she watched the view beyond the window. She was now the queen of Vientaine Group, a stark contrast to her girlish joy earlier; a great aura burst forth from her. “I did think of asking you for help but I thought more about it and… it would mean a war between yourself and the Gu clan’s North Group. It’s like sacrificing a thousand of your own to kill 800 of the enemy, so why do something so disadvantageous? I can solve my problem,” said Xia Lei. Xia Lei had not only solved his problem but had managed to do even better under the Gu clan’s assault. His branch company was being built quickly and the various outsourced companies were also busy completing orders for Thunder Horse Manufacturing. He would probably have maintained his previous status quo without the Gu clan’s attempt to shut him down and wouldn’t have thought of a branch company and outsourcing. Shentu Tian-Yin looked away from the scenery and at Xia Lei. She smiled faintly as she said, “The Gu clan is large but they did not manage to trouble you. Gu Ding-Shan’s pride must be very hurt. But a person with his personality won’t just let it go. You have to be careful. Don’t forget about me the next time he makes trouble for you; don’t reject my help.” Xia Lei grinned. “I’ll definitely ask you for help if I need it.” “Nn… You’re not keeping in contact with Miss Liang?” Xia Lei shook his head. He did not say anything; he did not know what he should say. He had not even told Long Bing of Liang Si-Yao’s identity, so how could he tell Shentu Tian-Yin? Shentu Tian-Yin did not press the matter and quieted. She had told her father that she was Shentu Tian-Yin and that the man she liked should be the one wooing her but she had not received even a phone call from Xia Lei, much less him taking the initiative to invite her out for a meal or a movie. Her self-confidence was starting to crumble and this was probably the reason why she had invited Xia Lei out for a walk in the park on the first day of the Spring Festival. However, Xia Lei had not paid her a lot of attention nor buttered her up as she had expected. She was a little disappointed by that. Xia Lei’s gaze went out the window too and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of something and his gaze fixed on the ground. A young man was holding a camera and taking pictures of him and Shentu Tian-Yin in the cable car. Taking pictures of a cable car suspended in the air? Xia Lei had a sense of misgiving. The young man came into sharp focus in his left eye and the first impressions Xia Lei got when he saw the young man’s face were cold detachment and ruthlessness. The young man seemed to have sensed Xia Lei watching him through the lenses of his camera. He turned his camera away and pretended to shoot other things. He took some shots, then mixed in with the crowd. Xia Lei, however, had his eye on the young man. The young man walked in the opposite direction and Xia Lei lost sight of him as the cable car went on its way up towards the mountaintop. ‘That guy was obviously observing me and Tian-Yin. Is he from the Gu clan or from the CIA?’ wondered Xia Lei. The Gu clan had been quiet recently and the CIA did not seem to have made any moves after Liang Si-Yao left China. It looked to be all peaceful on the surface but Xia Lei had not let down his guard for a single day. He knew that the Gu clan would not let him off and the CIA would not ‘give up’ on the only person who had taken AE pills. “What are you looking at?” Shentu Tian-Yin broke the silence in the cable car. “There was someone taking pictures of us,” said Xia Lei. Shentu Tian-Yin looked out the window but all she saw was a thick patch of forest. There were many people all around but she could not even see the face of the closest person clearly. “Where?” she asked curiously. “He’d already left when I discovered him, walking in the opposite direction,” said Xia Lei. Shentu Tian-Yin looked again but it was too far away. “Maybe you’re so nervous that you made a mistake,” she said with a smile. Would a person who didn’t need a scope on a sniper rifle make a mistake? Xia Lei was sure of what he had seen, but he could not guess if that person was from the Gu clan or the CIA. The latter situation worried him more. “Oh, right, I heard you opened a branch company in Sichuan. How’s it progressing?” Shentu Tian-Yin changed the topic. “It’s going all right. Production can start in two or three months,” said Xia Lei. “You can ask me if you lack funds. I may not be able to help you in other matters but I can help you in this anytime,” said Shentu Tian-Yin. Xia Lei suddenly thought of Annina’s two plans - one needed 2.5 billion for an engine production base and the other was to make guns and needed three hundred million. He lacked the funds for both plans. How much would Shentu Tian-Yin lend him if he asked? The thought of borrowing money crossed his mind but a protest surfaced in his head at the same time. ‘She may be able to lend me a few hundred million but billions are too much. She and Shentu Ren would think I helped them for money if I asked to borrow so much, won’t they? All for their money. Even if I did have the funds for the engine production base plan, the requirements for it have not been met yet. As for the sniper rifle plan, the government would give me a loan even if I lacked money, and it’ll be the type of loan with no interest either. There is no need for me to borrow money from her, and owe her a favour in the end, right?’ It was true. He did not have to worry about money at all if he picked Annina’s second plan of producing guns. Bureau 101 wished for him to do this, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent Annina to be a ‘spokesperson’ for it. He only had to nod and agree for the government to give him money and equipment. There was another problem to consider when borrowing money from the Shentu clan - what should he say if Shentu Tian-Yin or Shentu Ren wanted shares? There was a smile on Xia Lei’s face as he thought that and he said, “Thank you. I don’t need it for now. I’ll definitely come ask to borrow from you if we lack the funds. Don’t reject me what that time comes.” Shentu Tian-Yin rolled her eyes at Xia Lei. “Try asking and see if I’ll lend it to you.” “Then can you lend me ten yuan now?” said Xia Lei with a smile. Shentu Tian-Yin paused as she remembered that she had no cash on her. She looked at Xia Lei in embarrassment, and her eyes filled with an adorable grumpiness. Xia Lei chuckled. “I’m just joking. I’ll definitely ask you for help if I need a loan.” The cable car stopped in the middle and Xia Lei and Shentu Tian-Yin went to the viewing platform. Xia Lei scanned the tourists on the platform but did not see that young man. “Don’t go back home in the afternoon. Come to my place for a meal,” said Shentu Tian-Yin. “Sure. I can also give Uncle Ren a massage and do some acupuncture on him to help him in his recovery,” said Xia Lei. Shentu Tian-Yin pursed her lips in a smile and said, “Father is full of praise for you; he talks about you all day. You should come visit more often.” “Nn, I’ll come often in the future. Let’s go down. Your father and his group must have entered the park by now,” said Xia Lei. The two of them took the cable car down and met Shentu Ren in the park. They laughed and chatted as they walked around the park. Xia Lei used his left eye to scan his surroundings again but did not spot the young man. He did not spot him but Xia Lei still had a strange feeling that the young man was hidden in some place he couldn’t see and was observing him. ‘A person even I cannot see - how great is his anti-surveillance ability? Who is he?’ That young man was like a ghost and his face lingered in Xia Lei’s mind.

The turn of events alarmed Yang Zishan. He came to the Spirit Fire Hall for fire-ming every year in his long tenure at Earth Fire Hall, and he had done so numerous times, but he had never encounter such a situation!\nRegardless of how much he powered his spiritual energy, he could not stop the Earth fire from escaping his grasp. Only after several seconds did the plume of Earth fire gradually come to a stop.\nAnd when the Earth fire stopped, it caused Yang Zishan's face to sink completely.\nHe saw a youth garbed in clothes only newly recruited Earth Fire Hall disciples would wear. The youth had nonchalantly stretched out his palm, while the plume of Earth fire stably stopped above it, burning in absolute silence. \"Senior Brother Zishan, this...\"\nThe other Earth Fire Hall disciples were stunned. At this moment, they were able to tell that the flight of the Earth fire was obviously not done deliberately by Yang Zishan, it had been stolen by that new disciple from the Black Bamboo faction!\nThey had been cheering for Yang Zishan over his ostentatious moves, but they never expected that in a blink of an eye, before he was done flaunting his skills, he had a taste of his own medicine!\n\"Senior Brother Zishan must have been careless. As the Earth fire was done refining, he relaxed and lowered his spiritual control, allowing the rascal to take advantage.\"\nAs a veteran in the Earth Fire Hall, Yang Zishan's talent was top class in the entire Earth Fire Hall, if not, those people would not have chosen to be his lackeys.\nYang Zishan was outstanding, and had even grasped \"Fire-Spirit Transmutation\" laws. But this made it even harder for them to believe that a veteran like Yang Zishan would lose to a newcomer. Furthermore, the other person appeared to be...human!?\n\"Your name is Yi Yun?\" Yang Zishan stared. He had previously heard Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er mention Yi Yun's name, and originally believed that Yi Yun was Man Dao’s lackey, so he did not even look at Yi Yun straight. He never expected to fail miserably at an easy task of absorbing the Earth fire at that instantaneous moment.\nIt was true that his spiritual control was at its most relaxed state the moment he was done refining the Earth fire, but even so, this kid should not have the ability to snatch the Earth fire that was already in his hands.\n\"Why ask when you already know?\" Yi Yun gently stretched out his index finger as the tiny flame began to burn silently above his finger tip, like any ordinary flame.\nAt this moment, Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er, who were standing beside Yi Yun, were staring with widened eyes. Just like the other Earth Fire Hall disciples, they were watching at the tiny plume of fire burning above Yi Yun's finger tip with looks of disbelief.\nWas this really a flame separated from the Spirit of the Earth Fire? Why did it appear so obedient?\nFurthermore, it was obvious that Junior Brother Yi Yun came from the lower realm, so how could he have mastered such profound laws?\nAlthough they had no clue what was going on, Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er felt their pent-up anger released when they saw Yang Zishan's expression. Yang Zishan definitely never expected a newly recruited disciple to be able to snatch his Earth fire.\nMan Dao laughed out loudly. \"Yang Zishan, didn't you previously say that newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi should 'try mining a plume once'? This is the first time our newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi has come to the Fire Spirit Palace and it is also his first time mining for fire!\"\nMan Dao kept repeating 'newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi', and deliberately emphasized 'newly-recruited' as an attempt to figuratively smack Yang Zishan in the face.\nWeren't you being awesome? But didn't you end up getting cleaned up by a newly-recruited disciple?\nYun Qiao'er was also one who did not spare her words when reason was on her side. Having been bullied to near tears, how could she pass the opportunity to ridicule?\n\"Ze Ze Ze, didn't all of you just tell Junior Brother Yi to 'not stand on ceremony'? Now Junior Brother has went according to your wishes and really didn't stand on ceremony. Shouldn't all of you be happy? Speaking of which, why are all your faces looking so bad now? Are you sick?\"\nYun Qiao'er's words were harsh to the ear, stabbing at Yang Zishan where it hurt him the most. Yang Zishan's face turned ashen.\n\"Fine! Fine! It's indeed true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, to be able to rob me of my flame at the instant I finished refining my Earth fire, that sure is some talent!\"\nYang Zishan was a person who liked to make his power felt. Having suddenly smacked in the face by Yi Yun just as he was flaunting his powers was something he found intolerable.\nHe came from a prominent family and had outstanding talent. Even in the Earth Fire Hall, he was the center of attention. All of this was something he enjoyed greatly, but now, he had suffered in the hands of a disciple who had just come into contact with Earth fire. At this moment in time, Yang Zishan felt a hundred times more humiliated than what Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er felt moments ago.\n\"Senior Brother Zishan, show him something good!\"\n\"This guy only caught you by surprise, he has no abilities!\"\nYang Zishan's lackeys immediately roared out.\nYang Zishan's expression turned grim. He knew deep down that Yi Yun was not one to be trifled with, but he already had a tiger by the tail, so he had to persist on. He planned on using all his strength and push all his insights in fire-elemental laws to the extreme!\n\"Ha!\" Yang Zishan roared out loudly as all the joints on his body produced snapping sounds. Small scales suddenly began appearing on his face, and his pupils turned spindle-shaped. Snake!\nYang Zishan's ancestor was a python that had achieved its Dao. Furthermore, he had ancestors with fire python bloodlines, so Yang Zishan had a natural affinity with fire-elemental laws.\n\"He is transforming just like that?\" Man Dao was stunned. Yang Zishan was really going all out!\nFor Yang Zishan to transform in order to snatch Earth fire from Yi Yun, it clearly showed how powerful a rival Yi Yun was. He could only snatch the Earth fire from Yi Yun by giving his all. He could only be appeased by doing so, or this matter would become a disgrace the rest of his life.\n\"Ah–\" A hissing sound that did not sound human at all came from Yang Zishan's thoracic cavity. His body was burning in flames as he aimed at the flame above Yi Yun's finger and suddenly tapped.\nFire-Spirit Transmutation!\nA violent and dominating Yuan Qi surged into the Earth fire floating above Yi Yun's palm.\n\"Hu! Hu! Hu!\"\nThe flame began to dance erratically as though it had been given a spirit by Yang Zishan.\nAround Yang Zishan, many disciples had their eyes lit up.\nIt was still Fire-Spirit Transmutation! By giving the flame some spirituality, it would naturally bias itself to the person who had given it a spirit, Yang Zishan!\nAs for Yi Yun, since he was young disciple that recently arrived, how could he possess fire-elemental laws as profound as Fire-Spirit Transmutation?\n\"Fire, come!\" Yang Zishan roared as he forcefully grabbed at the fire plume in Yi Yun's hand.\nThe flame began to dance violently as though it was about to fly out of Yi Yun's grasp.\nYi Yun looked at the dancing flame as a tiny sneer suffused from his lips.\nFire-Spirit Transmutation that gives the flame a spirit?\nIf you could truly bestow the flame life, allowing this flame to turn into Fey, then the Purple Crystal would be powerless against it since the Purple Crystal could not control energy that possessed life.\nHowever, bestowing life was equivalent to creating an intelligent creature, so how could it be that simple? Even peerless mighty figures lacked this ability. Only the Universe, with its infinite energy could produce life over hundreds of millions of years.\nNow, it was just a trace of spirituality that was forcefully augmented by Yang Zishan. It was equivalent to Yang Zishan's will, so for this Yi Yun did not care for it at all.\nSpiritual energy burst forth from the Purple Crystal!\n\"Extinguish!\"\nThe hand Yi Yun that held the Earth fire suddenly made a grip!\nBoom! With an explosion, Yang Zishan's consciousness contained within the flame was destroyed with Yi Yun's grip.\nHaving his split-off consciousness wiped out, Yang Zishan grunted as his face suddenly turned pale.\nAt this moment, Yi Yun spread out his hand again as the Earth fire plume burned silently as usual above Yi Yun's palm.\nIn Yang Zishan's eyes, the flames danced, as though they were mocking him. This made his expression turn extremely ugly.\nYang Zishan had transformed and used Fire-Spirit Transmutation laws. It looked extremely powerful, while Yi Yun did not seem to unleash any powerful laws, so how did he destroy Yang Zishan's Fire-Spirit Transmutation?\n\"This guy is a freak!\" An Earth Fire Hall disciple murmured. Despite being reluctant, he had to admit the facts. Yi Yun had just entered the Earth Fire Hall and was already this powerful during his first fire-mining. These Earth Fire Hall disciples had all experienced their first fire-mining. Back then, they had to be extremely careful and had made repeated attempts. Some even failed several times before succeeding.\nBut for Yi Yun, now only was he mining for fire as though he was picking cotton, he had even directly snatched a plume of Earth fire from Yang Zishan. It was inconceivable." } ]
第七百九十七章 地火飞得极快，转瞬之间就脱离了羊子山的控制，羊子山心中大惊，他入地火殿这么多年，每年都来灵火宫采火，不知道采了多少次火，还从没有遇到这种情况！ 任凭他催动自己的精神力，那地火却根本拦不住，直到几息之后，那朵地火才慢慢停住了。 然而这地火的停止，却让羊子山的脸彻底沉了下来。 他看到一个身穿新晋地火殿弟子服的少年，随意的伸出手掌，这枚地火，就这样稳稳的停在少年手心上，静静的燃烧着。 其余的地火殿弟子们，都惊呆了，这个时候，他们也都看出来了，这地火飞走，当然不是羊子山炼化时做出的什么别有深意的举动，根本是被这个墨竹一脉的新弟子夺走了！ 他们刚刚还在为羊子山露出的那一手喝彩，看羊子山耍威风，但是没想到转眼间，羊子山的威风还没耍完，就被人用其人之道，还治其人之身了！ “子山师兄是大意了吧，因为地火已经炼化完成，所以一时松懈，放下了精神力控制，才被这个小子钻了空子。” 羊子山入地火殿已久，他的天赋，放在整个地火殿都是一流的，要不然这些人也不会选择跟随羊子山。 羊子山原本出众，现在又掌握了“化火为灵”法则，这让他们难以相信，来了地火殿这么久的羊子山，会输给一个新来的弟子，而且对方好像还是……人类！ “你叫易云？” 羊子山眼睛一瞪，他之前听蛮刀和云雀儿提起过易云的名字，他原本只把易云当成了蛮刀的跟班，根本就没正眼看过易云，他万万没有想到，自己即将炼化地火的时候，会阴沟里翻船。 刚刚将地火炼化完全的一瞬间，确实是他精神力最松懈的时候，可即便如此，这小子也不该有本事把自己手中的地火抢走啊。 “既然知道了，你还问什么？” 易云轻轻伸出食指，那一点火苗，就在易云食指指尖上燃烧，像是一朵普通火焰一样，非常的安静。 这时候，在易云身边，蛮刀和云雀儿也都瞪大了眼睛，他们也和那些地火殿弟子一样，用难以置信的眼神，看着易云指尖上的小火苗。 这真是地火之灵分出的火焰，怎么这么听话？ 而且易云师弟，明明是从下界来的，怎么会掌握了这么高深的法则？ 虽然完全不明白发生了什么事情。 不过一看到羊子山的表情，蛮刀和云雀儿就觉得太解气了，这羊子山肯定想都没想过，自己会被一个新弟子抢了地火吧。 蛮刀哈哈大笑起来，“羊子山，你之前不是说，要新入门的易师弟‘采一朵地火试试吗’？ 我们的新入门的易师弟，也是第一次来灵火宫，这才是第一次采火呢！” 蛮刀一口一个“新入门的易师弟”，故意咬重“新入门”三个字，就是要打羊子山的脸。 你不是牛逼吗，还不是被一个新入门的弟子收拾了？ 云雀儿也是得理不饶人的主，之前她被欺负得都快哭了，现在哪能放过嘲讽的机会？ “啧啧啧，你们刚才说的，让我们易师弟‘别客气’，现在我们易师弟如你们所愿，真的不客气了，你们不是该高兴才是吗，话说你们现在脸色怎么这么难看？ 生病了吗？” 云雀儿句句刺耳，直戳羊子山的痛处，羊子山一张脸都阴沉得快滴水了。 “好！ 好！ 真是初生牛犊不怕虎，你趁我地火炼化完全的一瞬间，夺走了火焰，也是本事！” 羊子山原本就是一个好人前显圣的人，正威风的时候，突然被易云打脸，怎么能忍受得了。 他出身世家，天资出众，哪怕在地火殿，也是众人的中心，而他自己，也非常享受这种感觉。 现在，栽在一个刚接触地火的弟子手中，此时羊子山的心情，比刚刚的蛮刀、云雀儿，还要憋屈百倍。 “子山师兄，给他点厉害看看！” “这小子出其不意而已，算什么本事！” 羊子山的跟班们，顿时大叫起来。 羊子山神色凝重，他深知易云不简单，但是他骑虎难下，必须要上，这一次，他要用出自己的全部力量，将他理解的火系法则，发挥到极致！ “喝！” 羊子山一声大喝，全身骨节噼噼啪啪作响，他的脸上，赫然浮现出了细微的鳞片，眼睛的瞳仁，也变成了纺锤形。 羊子山的祖上，是一条大蟒得道，而他的祖先之中，还有火蟒的血统，对火系法则，羊子山也有天然的亲和力。 “这就化形了？” 蛮刀愣了一下，这羊子山，还真是动真格的了！ 只是抢夺地火，却要化出本体来，羊子山显然是将易云当成了一个劲敌，也只有全力以赴，夺回易云手中的地火，才会让他念头通达了，否则今天的事情，会是他人生的耻辱。 羊子山胸腔之中，发出完全不似人类的吐信之音，他全身燃气灼灼的火焰，对准易云手中的火焰，猛然一点。 化火为灵！ 狂猛的元气，涌入易云手中的地火里。 “呼呼呼！” 火焰飘忽不定，似乎已经被羊子山点化，拥有了灵性。 在羊子山周围，诸多弟子的眼睛都亮了。 还是化火为灵！ 赋予火焰灵性之后，它自然会倾向于羊子山，这个赋予它灵性的人！ 而易云，他一个新来的弟子，又年纪轻轻，怎么可能会化火为灵这种玄妙的火系法则？ “火来！” 羊子山一声暴喝，对着易云手中的火苗，猛然一抓！ 火苗急剧波动，似乎要从易云手中飞出。 易云看着这跳动的火苗，嘴角浮现出一丝冷笑。 化火为灵，赋予火焰灵性？ 如果你能赋予火焰真正的生命，让一朵火成妖，那紫晶也奈何不了，因为紫晶控制不了有生命的能量。 即便是如绝世大能，也没有这个能力。 只有真正的天地宇宙，用无尽的天地精气，经过亿万年的时间，才可能孕育出生命来。 现在只是一丝灵性，这丝灵性其实还是羊子山强行加持上去的，等于羊子山的意志，对此，易云根本不在乎。 精神力从紫晶中爆发！ “灭！” 易云托着地火的手，猛地一握！ 一声爆响，火焰中蕴含的羊子山的意志，直接被易云捏爆了。 分出去的神念被捏爆，羊子山闷哼一声，脸色猛地一白。 而这时候，易云重新摊开了手，地火火苗，依然安静得在易云手中燃烧。 看着那火苗的跳动，羊子山感觉它仿佛在嘲笑自己一般，这让他的脸色难看之极。 一个地火殿弟子喃喃的说道，虽然心里不愿意，但却不得不承认，易云刚入地火殿，还是第一次采火，就这么厉害了。 这些地火殿弟子，也都经历过第一次采火，谁不是小心翼翼，反复尝试，甚至要失败好几次，才会成功。 可是易云呢，他不但采火跟采棉花一样容易，而且还直接从羊子山这里夺走了一朵地火，简直难以想象。

Yang Zishan was outstanding, and had even grasped "Fire-Spirit Transmutation" laws. But this made it even harder for them to believe that a veteran like Yang Zishan would lose to a newcomer. Furthermore, the other person appeared to be...human!? "Your name is Yi Yun?" Yang Zishan stared. He had previously heard Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er mention Yi Yun's name, and originally believed that Yi Yun was Man Dao’s lackey, so he did not even look at Yi Yun straight. He never expected to fail miserably at an easy task of absorbing the Earth fire at that instantaneous moment. It was true that his spiritual control was at its most relaxed state the moment he was done refining the Earth fire, but even so, this kid should not have the ability to snatch the Earth fire that was already in his hands. "Why ask when you already know?" Yi Yun gently stretched out his index finger as the tiny flame began to burn silently above his finger tip, like any ordinary flame. At this moment, Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er, who were standing beside Yi Yun, were staring with widened eyes. Just like the other Earth Fire Hall disciples, they were watching at the tiny plume of fire burning above Yi Yun's finger tip with looks of disbelief. Was this really a flame separated from the Spirit of the Earth Fire? Why did it appear so obedient? Furthermore, it was obvious that Junior Brother Yi Yun came from the lower realm, so how could he have mastered such profound laws? Although they had no clue what was going on, Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er felt their pent-up anger released when they saw Yang Zishan's expression. Yang Zishan definitely never expected a newly recruited disciple to be able to snatch his Earth fire. Man Dao laughed out loudly. "Yang Zishan, didn't you previously say that newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi should 'try mining a plume once'? This is the first time our newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi has come to the Fire Spirit Palace and it is also his first time mining for fire!" Man Dao kept repeating 'newly-recruited Junior Brother Yi', and deliberately emphasized 'newly-recruited' as an attempt to figuratively smack Yang Zishan in the face. Weren't you being awesome? But didn't you end up getting cleaned up by a newly-recruited disciple? Yun Qiao'er was also one who did not spare her words when reason was on her side. Having been bullied to near tears, how could she pass the opportunity to ridicule? "Ze Ze Ze, didn't all of you just tell Junior Brother Yi to 'not stand on ceremony'? Now Junior Brother has went according to your wishes and really didn't stand on ceremony. Shouldn't all of you be happy? Speaking of which, why are all your faces looking so bad now? Are you sick?" Yun Qiao'er's words were harsh to the ear, stabbing at Yang Zishan where it hurt him the most. Yang Zishan's face turned ashen. "Fine! Fine! It's indeed true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, to be able to rob me of my flame at the instant I finished refining my Earth fire, that sure is some talent!" Yang Zishan was a person who liked to make his power felt. Having suddenly smacked in the face by Yi Yun just as he was flaunting his powers was something he found intolerable. He came from a prominent family and had outstanding talent. Even in the Earth Fire Hall, he was the center of attention. All of this was something he enjoyed greatly, but now, he had suffered in the hands of a disciple who had just come into contact with Earth fire. At this moment in time, Yang Zishan felt a hundred times more humiliated than what Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er felt moments ago. "Senior Brother Zishan, show him something good!" "This guy only caught you by surprise, he has no abilities!" Yang Zishan's lackeys immediately roared out. Yang Zishan's expression turned grim. He knew deep down that Yi Yun was not one to be trifled with, but he already had a tiger by the tail, so he had to persist on. He planned on using all his strength and push all his insights in fire-elemental laws to the extreme! "Ha!" Yang Zishan roared out loudly as all the joints on his body produced snapping sounds. Small scales suddenly began appearing on his face, and his pupils turned spindle-shaped. Snake! Yang Zishan's ancestor was a python that had achieved its Dao. Furthermore, he had ancestors with fire python bloodlines, so Yang Zishan had a natural affinity with fire-elemental laws. "He is transforming just like that?" Man Dao was stunned. Yang Zishan was really going all out! For Yang Zishan to transform in order to snatch Earth fire from Yi Yun, it clearly showed how powerful a rival Yi Yun was. He could only snatch the Earth fire from Yi Yun by giving his all. He could only be appeased by doing so, or this matter would become a disgrace the rest of his life. "Ah–" A hissing sound that did not sound human at all came from Yang Zishan's thoracic cavity. His body was burning in flames as he aimed at the flame above Yi Yun's finger and suddenly tapped. Fire-Spirit Transmutation! A violent and dominating Yuan Qi surged into the Earth fire floating above Yi Yun's palm. "Hu! Hu! Hu!" The flame began to dance erratically as though it had been given a spirit by Yang Zishan. Around Yang Zishan, many disciples had their eyes lit up. It was still Fire-Spirit Transmutation! By giving the flame some spirituality, it would naturally bias itself to the person who had given it a spirit, Yang Zishan! As for Yi Yun, since he was young disciple that recently arrived, how could he possess fire-elemental laws as profound as Fire-Spirit Transmutation? "Fire, come!" Yang Zishan roared as he forcefully grabbed at the fire plume in Yi Yun's hand. The flame began to dance violently as though it was about to fly out of Yi Yun's grasp. Yi Yun looked at the dancing flame as a tiny sneer suffused from his lips. Fire-Spirit Transmutation that gives the flame a spirit? If you could truly bestow the flame life, allowing this flame to turn into Fey, then the Purple Crystal would be powerless against it since the Purple Crystal could not control energy that possessed life. However, bestowing life was equivalent to creating an intelligent creature, so how could it be that simple? Even peerless mighty figures lacked this ability. Only the Universe, with its infinite energy could produce life over hundreds of millions of years. Now, it was just a trace of spirituality that was forcefully augmented by Yang Zishan. It was equivalent to Yang Zishan's will, so for this Yi Yun did not care for it at all. Spiritual energy burst forth from the Purple Crystal! "Extinguish!" The hand Yi Yun that held the Earth fire suddenly made a grip! Boom! With an explosion, Yang Zishan's consciousness contained within the flame was destroyed with Yi Yun's grip. Having his split-off consciousness wiped out, Yang Zishan grunted as his face suddenly turned pale. At this moment, Yi Yun spread out his hand again as the Earth fire plume burned silently as usual above Yi Yun's palm. In Yang Zishan's eyes, the flames danced, as though they were mocking him. This made his expression turn extremely ugly. Yang Zishan had transformed and used Fire-Spirit Transmutation laws. It looked extremely powerful, while Yi Yun did not seem to unleash any powerful laws, so how did he destroy Yang Zishan's Fire-Spirit Transmutation? "This guy is a freak!" An Earth Fire Hall disciple murmured. Despite being reluctant, he had to admit the facts. Yi Yun had just entered the Earth Fire Hall and was already this powerful during his first fire-mining. These Earth Fire Hall disciples had all experienced their first fire-mining. Back then, they had to be extremely careful and had made repeated attempts. Some even failed several times before succeeding. But for Yi Yun, now only was he mining for fire as though he was picking cotton, he had even directly snatched a plume of Earth fire from Yang Zishan. It was inconceivable.

What was a fight to the death? That was a battle with one’s life as the wager. However, such a battle was not something that one could have as easily as one wished. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make it so that if a disciple of the Cyanwood Mountain was not fond of another disciple, then he or she could use the pretext of a fight to the death to kill the other disciple?\nIn that case, was a fight to the death even something that existed and was permitted in the Cyanwood Mountain?\nIt both existed and was permitted. Merely, the situation for it was very special.\nIt was not that there had never been disciples who had fought to the death in the Cyanwood Mountain. Merely, they could only conduct a fight to the death after obtaining the approval of the elders, and both must voluntarily agree to the conditions of the life and death agreement before being able to conduct the fight to the death before the elders.\nHowever, at this moment, what the crowd was thinking was not the complexity required for one to conduct a fight to the death in the Cyanwood Mountain. Instead, they were shocked by the fact that Chu Feng was actually challenging Lei Yao to a fight to the death.\nWho was Lei Yao? He was a rank six Martial King, the head of Orion Division, a famous genius in the Cyanwood Mountain. Regardless of how much of a demon-level character Chu Feng might be, he was still only a rank two Martial King. Even if Chu Feng possessed heaven-defying martial power, it would definitely be impossible for him to be a match for Lei Yao. For him to challenge Lei Yao to a fight to the death, was this not equivalent to him courting death?\n“Haha, a fight to the death? Chu Feng, I had thought you were an intelligent person. Who would’ve expected that you’re actually this stupid. A fight to the death, to speak of it in a nice manner, it would be a fight to determine whether someone lives or dies. However, to speak of it bluntly, it would be for two people to massacre one another.”\n“While the Cyanwood Mountain does permit a fight to the death, it is not something that one could do on a casual whim. The two of us do not possess an enormous hatred for each other, it is simply impossible for us to conduct a fight to the death,” Lei Yao spoke with a mocking tone. The gaze with which he looked at Chu Feng with was one of someone looking at an ignorant moron.\n“That is not something for you to decide, but instead something for me to decide.” However, right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. Following the voice, a figure appeared before the crowd.\nIt was an old lady. At the same time, she was also an elder of the Cyanwood Mountain. As for this elder, she was someone that many people present knew. That was because she possessed powerful strength. Although she was not a management elder, she could still be considered to be a top existence in the core region. As for who she was, she was the elder from the Ascension Sect, that same old lady that had reprimanded Long Chenfu that day, Elder Xie.\n“Elder Xie?” Once Elder Xie appeared, the expressions of many people present changed. That was because this Elder Xie was indeed very powerful.\n“A fight to the death requires mutual consent. As long as the two of you are willing to agree to it, and sign the life and death treaty, I am willing to preside over this fight to the death.” After Elder Xie appeared, she did not waste time speaking any superfluous words, and directly got to the point.\n“This…” After hearing the words spoken by Elder Xie, the expressions of the crowd changed even more. Although Elder Xie most definitely possessed the qualifications to direct a fight to the death, they knew very well that a fight to the death was not something that could be done just with mutual consent, it also required a deep hatred from the two parties for each other. As for Chu Feng and Lei Yao, although they appeared to be antagonistic, the hatred between them most definitely had not reached the level for a fight to the death.\nYet, since Elder Xie had already spoken, there must definitely be some meaning behind it. Thus, the crowd all managed to guess that Elder Xie must’ve been asked by Chu Feng to stand up for him.\nIn fact, that was the truth. Chu Feng had already anticipated today’s events. Thus, he had already made all the preparations. While this challenge to a fight to the death might appear to be sudden and foolish, he knew that he would definitely be able to make it happen.\n“Chu Feng, it turns out that I have underestimated you. You actually invited Elder Xie to stand up for you.” At this moment, Lei Yao understood what had happened. However, he did not feel any pressure. Instead, he laughed mockingly, and then looked toward Elder Xie. “Elder Xie, for you to direct this fight to the death is definitely not helping Chu Feng. Instead, you are only harming him.”\nSuddenly, Chu Feng said, “What’s with all that rubbish you’re speaking? I only ask a single answer from you, do you dare to accept the fight or not?”\n“What? Don’t dare? Give me a reason and tell me why I would not dare to accept it.”\n“Chu Feng, I took into consideration that you’re a fellow disciple, and originally did not want to make things so extreme, with no room for considerations. However, never had I imagined that you would not know how to differentiate good from bad, and actually invited Elder Xie to help you out, and even requested a fight to the death with me.”\n“Since you’re so brazen, then do not blame me for being ruthless myself. I accept this challenge of yours. However, since I’ve agreed to it, then I will do things as per the rules. On the day of the fight, I will definitely not show you any mercy, and will definitely take your little life.”\nBeing provoked by Chu Feng time and time again before the crowd caused Lei Yao to be enraged and publicly accept the challenge from Chu Feng.\n“Since both parties are willing, then I shall personally direct this fight to the death in three days’ time at the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.” After Elder Xie said those words, her figure moved and she disappeared. Truly, she had arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry.\n“Chu Feng, in three days’ time, I shall take your little life. As for that, it will be the consequences of your own actions.” After Lei Yao left those words, he turned around and left. At the same time, the Orion Division army that he commanded also followed him and left.\n“Chu Feng, I must say that I truly admire your courage.” At this moment, Yuan Qing did not leave. Instead, he was looking at Chu Feng with a mocking appearance.\n“You already admire me with merely this? I will make you admire me even more. Remember to definitely show up in three days’ time.” Chu Feng was looking at Yuan Qing with a beaming smile on his face. His smile seemed to contain something eccentric within it.\n“Rest assured, I will definitely show up, because I wish to see how you will be killed by my senior brother Lei.” After Yuan Qing left these words in a fierce manner, he also turned around and left.\nAs he looked at the backs of the departing Yuan Qing and the Orion Division’s army, a hard-to-detect upward arc appeared on the corners of Chu Feng’s lips. As for this upward arc, the meaning behind it was something that only Chu Feng knew.\n“Junior brother Chu Feng, you are truly too impulsive. Even if you and this Lei Yao truly possess grievances, there shouldn’t be a need for you to go to such lengths, no? I know that you possess exceptional talent and heaven-defying martial power, but that Lei Yao is no ordinary character either; he is not an ordinary rank six Martial King.” Long Chenyi and the others walked over to Chu Feng and began to earnestly advise him with expressions of confusion.\n“That’s right, junior brother Chu Feng, you are truly too impulsive. That Lei Yao is the head of the Orion Division, the current strongest genius of the Orion Monastery.” At this moment, Wang Wei, Fang Tuohai and the others also appeared.\n“Seniors, could it be that you all truly think that I did this on a mere impulse?” Surprisingly, Chu Feng asked the worried crowd a question.\nAfter they saw the smile on Chu Feng’s face, the crowd were all stunned. Their expressions of shock and astonishment became a bit more intense.\nThe appearance of Elder Xie was most definitely not a coincidence. It was obvious that Chu Feng had invited her. For Chu Feng to have invited Elder Xie beforehand, this meant that he had planned this. Thus, how could it have been done on impulse?\nIt was not an impulse, but was instead a plot that he had planned for a long time. Then, what exactly was Chu Feng planning to do? Long Chenyi and the others were all confused.\n“I know that you all are worried about me. However, fret not. I, Chu Feng, am not definitely not someone who would feel that living is boring and would voluntarily throw my life away,” said Chu Feng with a smile.\nAt this moment, no one tried to say anything to Chu Feng anymore. That was because the smile that Chu Feng displayed was one filled with confidence. Even though they felt that the possibility of Chu Feng winning against Lei Yao was extremely low, they, for some unknown reason, truly felt at this moment that Lei Yao had fallen into Chu Feng’s trap, a trap that he had planned for a long time." } ]
第一千一百七十二章 生死一战，什么是生死一战？ 那就是以性命为代价的战斗，可是这种战斗不是随随便便，就可以做的，如若不然，岂不是青木山的随便一个弟子，看不惯另外一个弟子，就能够以生死一战为借口，斩杀对方？ 那么生死一战，到底存不存在，允不允许？ 青木山内，弟子之间，不是没有人进行过生死一战，只不过他们需要经过长老允许后，再在长老的主持下，自愿签订生死状，才能进行生死战。 但要怎样才能让长老允许呢？ 那需要具备极大的深仇大恨才行，否则长老基本不会主持这种事情，毕竟主持了生死战，那长老也是要背负一定责任的。 不过眼下，人们想到的，并非是在青木山内，进行生死一战的复杂性，而是想到，这楚枫竟敢向雷耀进行生死一战的挑战。 雷耀是谁？ 毕竟是六品武王，参星部大当家，青木山内有名的天才，可楚枫就算再妖孽，也只不过是区区二品武王，就算楚枫拥有逆天战力，但也绝对不可能是雷耀的对手才是，他竟主动向雷耀挑战，这不是找死么？ “哈哈，生死一战？ 楚枫我本以为你是个聪明人，却想不到你这么愚蠢，生死一战，说好听的是以战定生死，但说句不好听的就是自相残杀。” “青木山虽有生死一战的规矩，但可不是随随便便就能进行生死一战的，你我没有那么大的仇恨，想要生死一战，这根本不可能。” 雷耀讽刺的说着，看向楚枫的目光，就像在看待一个什么都不懂的蠢货。 “这件事，不是你说的算，而是我说的算。” 然而，就在这时，突然一道声音响起，紧随其后，一道身影也是出现在众人的视线之内。 那是一位年迈的老妇人，同时也是青木山的长老，而对于这位老太太很多人都认识，因为她的实力不弱，虽然不是当家长老，但在核心地带，也算有着一定的威望，而这位，乃是来自羽化宗，当日批评龙辰复的那位谢长老。 “谢长老？” 谢长老一出，在场的很多人都是神情一变，因为这位谢长老，的确很有实力。 “生死一战，你情我愿，只要你们两个愿意签订生死状，那我愿意为你们主持这场生死战。” 谢长老出现后，也不废话，直接说道。 “这……”听得谢长老的话后，人们更是面容大变，虽然以谢长老的身份，绝对具备主持生死战的资格，但是他们很清楚，生死一战并非你情我愿即可，需有深仇大恨才行，而楚枫与雷耀虽然看似有所过节，但绝对不至于达到生死一战的要求。 可是，谢长老既然这样说了，就绝非无缘无故，所有人都猜想的到，谢长老定然是受楚枫所托，来替楚枫出头的。 而事实上，也的确如此，楚枫对于这一日，早有预料，所以他已做好了万全的准备，这生死一战看似唐突，可是他知道，一定能够实现。 “楚枫，原来是我小看了你，竟然请到谢长老来为你撑腰。” 这一刻，雷耀也是明白了，不过他却并未有所压力，反而是讽刺一笑，看向了谢长老，说道：“不过谢长老，主持这场生死战，你绝对不是在帮楚枫，而是在害他。” “哪来那么多废话，我只问你一句，敢还是不敢？” 突然，楚枫说道。 不敢？ 你给我一个理由，告诉告诉我，我为何不敢？” “楚枫，我念在同门一场，本不想把事做绝，但却想不到你这样不知好歹，竟然请来谢长老撑腰，还敢与我生死一战。” “既然你如此猖狂，也就别怪我不念同门之情，你的这个挑战，我接下了，不过既然应了，就要按规矩做事，约战之时，我可绝对不会留情，定要取你小命。” 当着众人之面，一而再再而三的被楚枫挑衅，这使得雷耀勃然大怒，当众应下了楚枫的挑战。 “既然双方愿意，那么就三日之后，远古仙池，我亲自主持这场生死战。” 谢长老说下这句话后，身形一动，便消失不见，当真是来也匆匆去也匆匆。 “楚枫，三日之后，我会让你小命不保，而这是你自找的。” 雷耀留下这句话后，便转身离去，与此同时，他所率领的羽化部大军，也是一同散开。 “楚枫，不得不说，我很佩服你的勇气。” 而这一刻，元清并未走，而是满面讽刺的看着楚枫。 “这就佩服了？ 我会让你更加佩服的，三日之后，记得要来哟。” 楚枫笑眯眯的看着元清，并且他的笑容，蕴含着阴阳怪气。 “放心，我一定会来的，因为我想看看，你是怎么被我雷耀师兄杀死的。” 元清恶狠狠的留下这句话后，也是转身离去。 而看着元清，以及参星部大军离去的背影，楚枫的嘴角，终于掀起了一抹不易察觉的弧度，而这个弧度的寓意，只有他自己清楚。 “楚枫师弟，你实在是太冲动了，就算你与这雷耀真的有所过节，但也不置于这般吧？ 我知道你天赋异凛，拥有逆天战力，可那雷耀也不是寻常角色，并非寻常的六品武王啊。” 龙辰逸等人走了过来，苦口婆心，满面不解的说道。 “是啊楚枫师弟，你未免太冲动了，那雷耀可是参星部的大当家，参星观目前为止，最强的天才啊。” 这一刻，王薇，方拓海等人也是来到近前。 “诸位师兄师姐，难道你真的觉得我只是一时冲动么？” 然而对于众人的话语，楚枫却是反声问道。 看到楚枫此刻的笑容，众人则皆是一愣，脸上的吃惊之色，不免浓郁了几分。 谢长老的出现，绝对不会是巧合，显然是受楚枫邀请而来，楚枫早早的就邀请了谢长老，这说明他早有计划，这又怎么会是冲动呢？ 不是冲动，是蓄谋已久，这楚枫究竟是想干什么？ 龙辰逸等人都迷茫了。 “我知道你们是为好，不过你们放心，我楚枫绝对不是那种，闲活着无趣，自愿送死的人。” 楚枫再度笑道。 这一刻，所有人都不再说什么，因为楚枫的笑容之中，充满了自信，哪怕他们明明觉得，楚枫胜过雷耀的几率非常之低，但是不知为何，此时此刻，他们却觉得，仿佛真的是雷耀中了楚枫的圈套一般，一个早已设计好的圈套。

Although Elder Xie most definitely possessed the qualifications to direct a fight to the death, they knew very well that a fight to the death was not something that could be done just with mutual consent, it also required a deep hatred from the two parties for each other. As for Chu Feng and Lei Yao, although they appeared to be antagonistic, the hatred between them most definitely had not reached the level for a fight to the death. Yet, since Elder Xie had already spoken, there must definitely be some meaning behind it. Thus, the crowd all managed to guess that Elder Xie must’ve been asked by Chu Feng to stand up for him. In fact, that was the truth. Chu Feng had already anticipated today’s events. Thus, he had already made all the preparations. While this challenge to a fight to the death might appear to be sudden and foolish, he knew that he would definitely be able to make it happen. “Chu Feng, it turns out that I have underestimated you. You actually invited Elder Xie to stand up for you.” At this moment, Lei Yao understood what had happened. However, he did not feel any pressure. Instead, he laughed mockingly, and then looked toward Elder Xie. “Elder Xie, for you to direct this fight to the death is definitely not helping Chu Feng. Instead, you are only harming him.” Suddenly, Chu Feng said, “What’s with all that rubbish you’re speaking? I only ask a single answer from you, do you dare to accept the fight or not?” “What? Don’t dare? Give me a reason and tell me why I would not dare to accept it.” “Chu Feng, I took into consideration that you’re a fellow disciple, and originally did not want to make things so extreme, with no room for considerations. However, never had I imagined that you would not know how to differentiate good from bad, and actually invited Elder Xie to help you out, and even requested a fight to the death with me.” “Since you’re so brazen, then do not blame me for being ruthless myself. I accept this challenge of yours. However, since I’ve agreed to it, then I will do things as per the rules. On the day of the fight, I will definitely not show you any mercy, and will definitely take your little life.” Being provoked by Chu Feng time and time again before the crowd caused Lei Yao to be enraged and publicly accept the challenge from Chu Feng. “Since both parties are willing, then I shall personally direct this fight to the death in three days’ time at the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.” After Elder Xie said those words, her figure moved and she disappeared. Truly, she had arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry. “Chu Feng, in three days’ time, I shall take your little life. As for that, it will be the consequences of your own actions.” After Lei Yao left those words, he turned around and left. At the same time, the Orion Division army that he commanded also followed him and left. “Chu Feng, I must say that I truly admire your courage.” At this moment, Yuan Qing did not leave. Instead, he was looking at Chu Feng with a mocking appearance. “You already admire me with merely this? I will make you admire me even more. Remember to definitely show up in three days’ time.” Chu Feng was looking at Yuan Qing with a beaming smile on his face. His smile seemed to contain something eccentric within it. “Rest assured, I will definitely show up, because I wish to see how you will be killed by my senior brother Lei.” After Yuan Qing left these words in a fierce manner, he also turned around and left. As he looked at the backs of the departing Yuan Qing and the Orion Division’s army, a hard-to-detect upward arc appeared on the corners of Chu Feng’s lips. As for this upward arc, the meaning behind it was something that only Chu Feng knew. “Junior brother Chu Feng, you are truly too impulsive. Even if you and this Lei Yao truly possess grievances, there shouldn’t be a need for you to go to such lengths, no? I know that you possess exceptional talent and heaven-defying martial power, but that Lei Yao is no ordinary character either; he is not an ordinary rank six Martial King.” Long Chenyi and the others walked over to Chu Feng and began to earnestly advise him with expressions of confusion. “That’s right, junior brother Chu Feng, you are truly too impulsive. That Lei Yao is the head of the Orion Division, the current strongest genius of the Orion Monastery.” At this moment, Wang Wei, Fang Tuohai and the others also appeared. “Seniors, could it be that you all truly think that I did this on a mere impulse?” Surprisingly, Chu Feng asked the worried crowd a question. After they saw the smile on Chu Feng’s face, the crowd were all stunned. Their expressions of shock and astonishment became a bit more intense. The appearance of Elder Xie was most definitely not a coincidence. It was obvious that Chu Feng had invited her. For Chu Feng to have invited Elder Xie beforehand, this meant that he had planned this. Thus, how could it have been done on impulse? It was not an impulse, but was instead a plot that he had planned for a long time. Then, what exactly was Chu Feng planning to do? Long Chenyi and the others were all confused. “I know that you all are worried about me. However, fret not. I, Chu Feng, am not definitely not someone who would feel that living is boring and would voluntarily throw my life away,” said Chu Feng with a smile. At this moment, no one tried to say anything to Chu Feng anymore. That was because the smile that Chu Feng displayed was one filled with confidence. Even though they felt that the possibility of Chu Feng winning against Lei Yao was extremely low, they, for some unknown reason, truly felt at this moment that Lei Yao had fallen into Chu Feng’s trap, a trap that he had planned for a long time.

Ming Yu was filled with remorse and guilt. His Space Sealing was a powerful Profound Meaning but his realm was too low. He could not freeze the Fire Leopard King completely just yet. It lasted only for the time for one breath.\nThe claw was getting closer. From the depth of Lu Li’s soul he felt fatal danger. Dozens of ideas flashed through his mind but he remained helpless. His attacks were slow. He couldn’t even injure the Fire Leopard King at his own peril. “Squeak, squeak~”\nLittle White’s manes were standing up. Its eyes glowed coldly. With a shrill, Little White jumped off from Lu Li’s shoulder and rushed toward the Fire Leopard King from one side, trying to bite its neck.\n“Hmm!” Surprisingly like a person, the Fire Leopard King showed disdain. It stopped attacking Lu Li. It waved its claw, trying to smash Little White into pieces.\n“Little White!”\nLu Li yelled anxiously. But it was too late to stop Little White now. He would be an idiot if he didn’t take advantage of such a good opportunity Little White had created. From another side, Lu Li hacked at the head of the Fire Leopard King forcefully with his divine weapon of Dragon King.\n“Bang!”\n“Bang!” Two muffled sounds came at the same time. Little White was knocked away by the Fire Leopard King and crushed into the ground. Lu Li’s divine weapon of Dragon King landed on the head of the Fire Leopard King as well.\nThe not intimidating attack from Lu Li knocked the Fire Leopard King off. It even rolled around in the valley. “Roar~”\nAfterwards, the Fire Leopard King stood up, shaking. It howled in anger. Then it flew up again but it was getting slower. Its situation was deteriorating.\n“Ming Yu, freeze it!”\nLu Li probed underground with psychic power, making sure that Little White was alive. Then he shouted to Ming Yu with a murderous look on his face. Lu Li generated clones once again and dashed toward the Fire Leopard King.\n“Okay!”\nMing Yu used Space Sealing, freezing the Fire Leopard King and some of Lu Li’s clones. Ming Yu had achieved a quite good grasp on the Space Sealing Profound Meaning. He could freeze any space he desired and would not influence Lu Li’s attack.\nLu Li controlled over a dozen clones to whoosh on while he himself deliberately fell behind. When Fire Leopard King broke free from Space Sealing, his clones rushed on while Lu Li himself cut at its head with divine weapon of Dragon King once again.\n“Boom!”\nFire Leopard King was knocked down again. This time, it rolled for more than a dozen times in the valley. When it stood up, shaking, again, its vertical eye was filled with terror and fright.\nLu Li bellowed. Ming Yu reacted fast. He froze the space one more time while Lu Li and over a dozen of his clones dashed over in a formidable way from all sides. “Boom!”\nLu Li’s divine weapon of Dragon King landed on the Fire Leopard King’s head. Only this time, the Fire Leopard King wasn’t smashed away. It trembled and collapsed on the spot.\n“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Lu Li was still worried. He hacked at the Fire Leopard King’s head for three more times before he put away the divine weapon of Dragon King and breathed in relief.\nLu Li was gasping for breaths. Ming Yu and Lu Ling checked the Fire Leopard King with psychic powers. They were stunned to see that the Fire Leopard King’s brains were in a mess.\nFire Leopard King was strong in defense. Regular Noble Lord Realm peak warriors and even Human Sovereign Realm warriors would find it hard to crack its defense. How could Lu Li kill it with several cuts? “Eh…”\nThere were still nearly 1000 Noble Lord Realm warriors in the base camp, yet to go back to the Deserted World. But most of the over 1000 talented disciples had escaped. The Noble Lord Realm warriors had been observing the Fire Leopard King with psychic powers. They were all stunned by this.\nIt was only within the time for several breaths that Lu Li and Ming Yu acted together to kill the Fire Leopard King. It was so quick that many hadn’t realized what had happened. They only saw Lu Li and Ming Yu fly over and then Lu Li made several random moves with his saber and the Fire Leopard King was killed…\n“Isn’t the State Councilor only at the Eternal Realm?”\nThis was a doubt held by many. Tu Hong and dozens Noble Lord Realm warriors had tried their best but failed to hurt the Fire Leopard King. In other words, was Lu Li’s move stronger than the combined attacks from dozens of Noble Lord Realm warriors?\nIt was natural that they were confused. Lu Li’s moves seemed normal. Even though the weapon was of the Holy Grade, but it didn’t seem impressive. The other warriors didn’t sense any Profound Meanings contained in Lu Li’s attacks and they seemed common, not even some impressive Xuan Skill.\n“Squeak, squeak~” Little White flew back up from underground and hopped onto Lu Li’s shoulder. Many Noble Lord Realm warriors were even more shocked by this. Little White was crushed by the Fire Leopard King. How did it remain intact? Was this small beast’s defense as strong as a Beast King?\n“Phew, phew~” Lu Ling was relieved. She flew over, stood next to Lu Li and asked, “You learned a Profound Meaning?”\nLu Li shook his head and said with pity, “My cultivation has lasted not long enough. I have only scratched the surface of the Profound Meaning. If I can have 10 days or half a month, I think I will be able to learn a new Profound Meaning.”\n“Fantastic!” Lu Ling said with a smile. Lu Li’s abilities had been improved. At least, his attacks were ferocious. He could now kill a Fire Leopard King.\nLu Li smiled as well. He had spent a long time and invested much energy and now he finally found the right direction. The reason that he could kill the Fire Leopard King was that—he managed to create three vibration waves of his strength.\nHe was inspired by Tu Heng. During his cultivation, Lu Li had successfully added two more vibration waves. Three vibration waves formed a continuum which was why Lu Li could hurt the Fire Leopard King’s head and soul. He managed to kill it after several rounds of attacks.\nEven though this was only the surface and Lu Li was not clear what the Profound Meaning was, but he had increased vibration waves. As long as he continued to study it, he would master the Profound Meaning eventually.\n“If I can increase the vibration wave to dozens or hundreds, I think I even kill the six Human Sovereign Realm warriors out there if I can sneak up on them.”\nLu Li felt uplifted. The improvement on vibration wave had transformed his attacks. But he lacked progress on his realm which was far too low. There were many disadvantages brought along by his low realm judging by his fight with the Fire Leopard King.\nWhen the realm was low, he wouldn’t be fast enough and reaction would be slow as well. If Little White didn’t help him, he would have been killed by the Fire Leopard King.\n“I must continue to study the vibration wave. Hopefully, I can gain basic knowledge first. Afterward, I shall improve my realm at once. I must reach at least the Noble Lord Realm.”\nLu Li made up his mind. When he reached the Noble Lord Realm and his Soul Shattering skill could progress, he would be more confident to be able to kill Human Sovereign Realm warriors in surprise attacks." } ]
第610章 “嗷！” 陆离的战刀还没劈在火豹王身上，火豹王身子突然挣脱而开，身子一闪爪子对着陆离狠狠抓来。 “小心！” “少主，退！” 陆羚和冥羽同时焦急大喝起来，冥羽眼中更是懊悔和内疚。 他的空间封印很强大，但他的境界太低了，还不足以完全封印火豹王，只是封印了一息时间都不到。 眼中一只巨大兽爪不断放大，陆离灵魂深处涌起了致命的危机感。 他脑海内几十个念头闪过，却有些束手无策，因为他的攻击速度太慢了，就算想和火豹王两败俱伤都不成。 小白头上鬃毛竖起，眼中寒气森森，它大叫一声从陆离肩膀上飞射而出，朝一边绕过去直扑火豹王，似乎想咬碎它的脖子。 火豹王眼中很人性化露出一丝轻蔑，没有去管陆离了，爪子随意挥舞了一下，要将小白拍得粉碎。 “小白！” 陆离焦急的大喝一声，却已来不及阻止小白了。 小白营造的如此好的战机他不利用起来，那他就是十足的蠢货了。 “砰！” “砰！” 两道沉闷的声音几乎同时响起，小白一爪被火豹王给拍飞，重重砸入峡谷的地下，陆离的龙帝神兵也重重砸在火豹王的头上。 陆离看起来并没有太大声势的一击，居然把火豹王给砸了下去，而且还在峡谷内翻滚了几圈。 随后再次飞射而上，但速度居然又慢了几分，似乎伤势更严重了。 “冥羽，封印！” 陆离神念朝地下扫去，确定小白没死后，立刻杀气腾腾的朝冥羽怒吼道。 “好！” 冥羽释放了空间封印，将冲上来的火豹王和几个陆离的分身都给封印了。 这段时间他对于空间封印奥义掌握的不错，可以随意封印任何一处空间，这样不会影响陆离攻击。 陆离控制十几个分身飞射而去，真身故意落后半拍。 等火豹王从空间封印中挣扎出来后，他分身连绵不断的冲上去，真身轮着龙帝神兵对着火豹王的脑袋再次狠狠一击。 “轰！” 火豹王又一次被砸了下去，这次在峡谷内整整翻滚了十几圈，它摇摇晃晃的站起来，竖立的独眼有些畏惧和惊恐了。 “冥羽，快封印，火豹王想逃！” 陆离咆哮起来，冥羽反应很快，又一次封印了空间，陆离和十几个分身如怒龙般从四面八方朝火豹王冲去。 陆离不放心，挥舞龙帝神兵对着火豹王的脑袋连续劈出三刀，这才收起龙帝神兵长长吐出一口气。 看到陆离站在峡谷内喘气如牛，冥羽和陆羚神念朝火豹王那边扫去。 当两人探查到火豹王的脑袋内已变成一团浆糊后，两人眼眸中都露出惊容。 火豹王防御非常恐怖，一般的君侯境巅峰，甚至人皇都很难破开它的防御，陆离随便劈出几刀就把火豹王给震死了？ 远处大本营内还有近千君侯境没有退去荒界，一千多天才子弟倒是差不多都逃出去了。 君侯境们神念一直锁定峡谷内的火豹王，探查到这一幕全部都懵了。 说时迟，那时快！ 陆离和冥羽一起动手斩杀火豹王只是短短几息时间，如此短的时间很多人都没反应过来。 “大国师真的只有不灭境？” 很多人脑海内都浮现这个念头，图洪和几十个君侯境合力一击，都无法击伤火豹王。 换句话说陆离这随手几刀，比几十个君侯境合力一击都猛？ 这不怪众人乱猜，陆离劈出这几刀真的很普通，虽然兵器是圣阶玄器，但并没有任何声势。 感觉不到任何奥义，甚至不像是厉害的玄技，只是普普通通的一劈。 小白刚才可是被火豹王狠狠抓了一爪啊，居然丝毫无损？ 这小兽的防御难道可比兽皇吗？ 陆羚如释重负，她飞身而来，飘落在陆离身边，轻声询问道：“你感悟了一种奥义？” 陆离有些可惜的摇头道：“我闭关的时间太短了，只是感悟了一些奥义的皮毛。 如果给我闭关十天半月，或许能感悟一种新的奥义。” 陆羚脸上露出笑容，陆离的战力明显有了提升，至少攻击力就很凶残，连火豹王都能震杀。 陆离微微一笑，感悟了那么长时间，费劲很多脑力精力时间，他终于找到了方向。 刚才他之所以能震杀火豹王，是因为——他的力量震荡波达到了三重。 图恨的攻击给他带来了一丝触动，闭关这段时间，他成功让力量震荡波增幅了两道。 三道强大的力量连绵不断的涌去，这才能震伤火豹王的脑袋和灵魂，连续几次攻击之下，把火豹王的脑袋给震碎了。 虽然还没摸索出来具体是什么奥义，只是摸索到一丝奥义的皮毛。 但力量震荡波能增幅，只要他继续参悟下去，肯定能感悟这种奥义。 “如果力量震荡波能达到几十重，上百重，就算是外面的六大人皇给我偷袭到手，也能轻松震杀吧？” 陆离暗暗振奋，力量震荡波的增幅，让他攻击力有了飞跃性的进展。 现在就差境界了，他的境界还是太低太低了，刚才和火豹王的交战就能看出很多弊端。 境界低，速度就慢，反应速度也慢。 刚才如果不是小白帮他挡了一击，他已被火豹王击杀了。 “这段时间继续参悟力量震荡波，争取把这种奥义入门。 入门后立刻提升境界，最少要先达到君侯境再说。” 陆离暗暗沉思拿定了主意，只要境界达到君侯境，碎魂秘术能有大的进展的话，他在偷袭的情况下就有很大把握击杀普通人皇。

Be it the infantry or cavalry, they moved in formations that tapered one after the other.\nIt was a formation that was triangular in shape and such formations were only used for one purpose – attacking. It only worked if one intended to attack without any attempt to defend themselves, and was only applied when faced with enemies several times larger than their own.\nAt the same time, it was the most daring and unreserved formation that one could deploy on the field!\nIn one of Steel Cavalry troops, twelve teenagers were exceptionally striking. They formed a neat row as well; their young and innocent faces were without dazed hesitation, but were filled with full-blown resolution. These young ones were the children from the valley Yun Yang had stopped at to recuperate; all of them were still here.\nShangguan Lingxiu, Qiu Jianhan, and Fu Baoguo had ordered the army with much brevity to take care of these boys and protect them best as they could.\nThey were initially in the retreating troops but just as they were leaving, the Steel Cavalry's leader came out personally to withdraw them, stating repeatedly that they were Yutang's future hope and it was not a cowardly act to escape or leave at this time. However, despite the extensive psychological work that was done, these twelve youths refused to budge.\n\"We are men, we should fight for our nation!\"\n\"It's the country's crisis now. If we prize our lives above all else, we wouldn't have come.\"\n\"We're here to kill the enemy and serve the country... we're not here to be taken care of!\"\n\"If you all really must chase us away, we'll form our own squad and charge the battlefield ourselves. All in all, we won't leave. We're set on staying and dying here!\"\nThe twelve youths spoke vehemently in unison.\nIn the end, it was Wang Dingguo's decisive voice that concluded the stand-off, \"All good men, let them stay!\"\nThere was only a word's difference between good men and good children but the meaning within was the difference between heaven and earth. All the military men understood the meaning of these words and were immediately friendlier to these teenagers.\nPreviously, they took care and were concerned for the teenagers; they were even slightly jealous of them – how could a bunch of children understand the killing that took place within a war zone? Life and death were instantly interchangeable - what a waste of those noble steeds and they needed people to take care of them as well. It was better for them to leave as early as they could!\nNow though, there was only comradeship, trust that they could cover each other's backs! Now, when the twelve youths set off to war, they already looked like qualified Steel Cavalry from the outside; they were no different from the comrades beside them.

As the drumming rhythm increased, each of Yutang soldier's face seemed to be glowing. They remained stationary but their grip on their weapons grew tighter.\nEven when the horses were unusually quiet and still, they perked up their ears and coiled their muscles. They even stopped swishing their tails subconsciously. The only movement they had was to train their eyes forward, waiting for their owner's command before shooting out like a released arrow towards the final battlefield.\nThe Shadow Cavalry slowly emerged like a tidal wave.\nDongxuan's soldiers were also present with gleaming sabers and spears. Obviously, Zhan Ge was also applying the most extreme and toughest method to face the battle head-on.\nI shall fulfill your wish to seek death, crushing your last retaliation directly with my strongest combat power which far exceeds that of your combined forces – this was his greatest show of respect to his opponent. Perhaps, this was the sole show of respect in this lifetime!\n\"Dong, dong, dong…\" The drumbeats of war came from Dongxuan's base as well. Almost at the same time, crisp neighing that came from their warhorses that were galloping could be heard.\nAn incredibly handsome white horse charged out. The person mounted on it was wearing the same golden armor as Fu Baoguo, looking very valiant; he charged all the way to the front of both armies and suddenly yelled, \"Fu Baoguo!\"\nThe person was Dongxuan's temporary main marshal, Zhan Ge, who had personally made his way to the formation.\nOn the other side, Fu Baoguo sat atop his horse, watching Zhan Ge with a hawk-like gaze without replying.\nUnder the focused gaze of so many people from both sides, Zhan Ge called out loudly, \"Fu Baougo! You and I have fought at this point. Although we each have our perspectives and goals, to fight with our lives on this battlefield is still the biggest glory for us militants!\"\n\"You and I both know that today will be our final battle. Zhan Ge has come specifically to show respect to Marshal Fu and to send Marshal Fu off!\"\nThen, Zhan Ge waved his arm and hollered, \"Wine!\"\nTwo cavalrymen came out together from Dongxuan's army formation to deliver the wine pouch. Zhan Ge received it and retrieved a goblet, personally pouring the wine and raising his hand to say loudly, \"Marshal Fu, who loses or wins this battle is secondary, but it is our responsibility for a militant to die in battle during the war. I propose a toast to you and to myself. When this war ends and I die, I have no regrets; if you die, then go in peace – if there's an afterlife, let us become each other's confidant!\"\nZhan Ge then tipped his head and emptied the wine in his hand.\nAfter three consecutive goblets, Zhan Ge wiped his mouth and continued aloud, \"I know that you're reluctant to step out and drink this goblet of wine with me, so I shall drink it myself. These three goblets of wine before a life and death battle are gratifying, gratifying indeed!\"\nJust by stepping out and proposing a toast highlighted the fearless nature of a militant and his mannerisms; whether it was for show or from the bottom of his heart, what Zhan Ge did could be said to be extremely well played.\nHan Sanhe, who saw it from far behind could not help sighing instead. They were enemies and things had come to this final moment, why was there a need to play such tricks? Did he think Fu Baoguo would let him off the hook easily? To be showing off in front of a true expert would only be in vain and might even backfire!\nThe reality was like Han Sanhe had expected, as Fu Baoguo's voice rang from the legions of Yutang.\n\"Zhan Ge!\"\n\"This marshal is not at all interested in these three goblets of toasted wine. This marshal does not at all agree with what you said! I also have a few words that I wish to share!\"\nZhan Ge replied, \"Do speak, Marshal Fu.\"\nWhat he wanted to do and say earlier were done smoothly as Fu Baoguo did nothing to stop or interrupt him. Now that Fu Baoguo wanted to speak, it would show his lack of grace. If he stopped him, it would destroy the confident atmosphere he had conjured earlier. At the very least, the effect would be a lot more lackluster.\nFu Baoguo laughed and said, \"Zhan Ge, you said that we each have our perspective and goals, having no other option than to fight. I can't deny the first half of your words; we do have our own perspectives and goals, but I find it very hard to agree with the thought of fighting at this juncture!\"" } ]

Chapter 495: A Goblet of Wine Before War Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Besides the men, the cavalry's warhorses were lined up in teams as well.

Fu Baoguo changed into a rare set of golden armor, appearing in front of the army with pride. Perhaps heaven had decided to obey the people's wishes as the God was happy to see Yutang set off for war smoothly; the days of flurry snow had finally stopped. Under the light of the rare sun, Fu Baoguo's golden armor and helmet glimmered; he looked like a deity with an invincible aura. "War drums!" A low beat of the drum resounded, ringing from afar.

Those eyes were still as water, without any presence within them.\nLooking at those green flames, the Marquis of Despair lifted his hand gently, as though he was chasing after them. However, those layers of darkness were preventing him from going forth, as everything descended gently.\nThere was not a single peep of sound within…\n\"Xiguang…\" Suddenly, an authoritative voice boomed out from the darkness. A strain of fear appeared on that cute little face of the Marquis of Despair momentarily. However, it disappeared without a trace in the next instance.\n\"King…\" the Marquis of Despair knelt down on his spot. With the pitch-black coat draped over his body, his figure appeared even more minuscule.\nWithin that darkness, a pair of purple demonic eyes appeared.

No matter who it was, they would have to lower their heads against it.\nThose purple and demonic eyes started to shine with a glimmer.\nThe Marquis of Despair's body shivered as a tragic cry burst out of his mouth.

This voice was different; it carried with it a tone of concern.\n\"Don't come over…!\" The Marquis of Despair hollered icily. He then struggled to stand up.

Now that Xu Wuxin and the other soldiers had died there, the ancient race base must be really riled up by now.\nFor safety precautions, they had better find a place to hide away for the time being.\nLin Fan now had the ability to protect himself. Even though an azure celestial wasn't the strongest there was to be, it was enough for him to ensure his own life. As for those stronger beings within the ancient race, Lin Fan would not be foolish enough to pick a fight with them for no reason.\nIf they were so easily taken down, the ancient race empire would have long been overturned. How could it be still standing here, waiting for him till this moment?\nAnd indeed, after he had taken down Xu Wuxin and the other soldiers, his name did receive quite the booster in the rankings list.\nBut Lin Fan was far from satisfied with these rankings.\nJust one look at it and Lin Fan was numbered amongst tens of millions right now. To him, there was still a long way to go from here. It wouldn't satisfy him till he was number one on the ranking boards.\nEven though the higher up a fugitive's name was on the ranking boards, the more danger he would be in, what could one do? One couldn't possibly shy away just because of that danger.\nOne fine day, Lin Fan must have his name spread out across the entire Ancient Saint World.

Your ranking seems to have jumped up once more!\" Mu Liang was really engrossed within the ranking boards. Keying in Lin Fan's name, he was stunned immediately. At the same time, he was quite envious. He wondered when he could become as strong as Big Brother Lin.\n\"Humble…humble please.\" Lin Fan replied calmly, but he was unable to hide the look of glee on his face. For someone as powerful as Yours Truly, could this measly ranking serve to satiate him?\n\"Brother Lin, what should our next step be?\" Xia Zehua asked.\nHe had witnessed Lin Fan's strength for himself during that battle. At the same time, he was now really hopeful about the future of the righteous party.\nLin Fan sighed with exasperation in his heart. He wanted to say, 'Broooooo… you're the leader, you know?' But at the same time, he knew that Xia Zehua was just going to be that sort of a person. Hence, he did not say anything of the sorts.\n\"It's getting late. Let's rest for a while first. After all, we still have quite some duration before the ascension date. We'll use the remaining time to try hiding under the radar while we train up.\" Lin Fan commented.\n\"Not bad! This is a well-thought idea! This time around, we must definitely rescue all those who have ascended!\" Xia Zehua replied with respect.\nLin Fan sighed once more. He could not help but admire this simple intellect level of Xia Zehua.\nLin Fan looked up at the vast skies and entered the darkness of the woods. He couldn't relax, even at this juncture. He had to seize every opportunity to train up properly and raise his power level to the peak. That was the only time when he would finally be qualified to relax and take a break.\nOtherwise, with his current strength, things would be difficult. Not only could he not continue with his bullsh*t all the time, his show might go the wrong way at any moment as well.\n...\nThud.\nOnce more, a beast was chopped into two by Lin Fan.\nLooking at the experience points, Lin Fan could not help but frown. This was simply way too little! It was so little that it was scary!\nHow nice would it be if the strongest BUFF could last for just that much longer? But, it was a pity that that was impossible.\nLin Fan flicked his robes, taking in all of the Demonic Qi around him.\nNo matter how weak the Qi was, an accumulation of all the weak Qi would have its own use as well.\nBeasts here were especially active when night came.\nThis area wasn't comparable to the boundary zones. In fact, there could be those high leveled beasts that Lin Fan was direly anticipating. 'ROAR…!'\nJust as Lin Fan was about to tread deeper, he was attracted by a roar and hastened his footsteps.\nThis roar was extraordinary, and there was a repressing feeling about it.\n'Ancient Beast: Three-Headed King. Azure celestial middle level.'\n'AIYO! HOLY SH*T! To think that it's really a huge BOSS!' Looking at this beast, Lin Fan's heart leaped with joy. To think that he could bump into a beast that had a cultivation state even higher than his own right now! This was naturally something that was exciting!\nThis beast was deep in its slumber at the moment. That roar earlier on was just its breathing.\nEvery single breath was like thunder on its own.\nThis was really quite a sight to behold.\nLin Fan rubbed his chin, wondering what he should do. Should he use his Eternal Axe and rush up to kill it, or should he try to sneak an attack in?\nLin Fan took out his Nine Five Legendary Brick and entered Stealth mode, making his way around the beast sneakily.\nAfter all, it was late in the night now, and the beast was enjoying its sleep. How rude of Lin Fan would it be if he accidentally disturbed this beast's peaceful slumber?\n'Huff…!'\nThree gigantic heads laid on the ground. Each time they breathed, they would huff out steamy puffs of hot air. The stench was absolutely unbearable.\n'Bloody hell! This stinks like sh*t! But for the sake of the experience points, Yours Truly shall bear with it!' Lin Fan did not know if he would be discovered this time around.\nBut, just as Lin Fan approached closer to the Three-headed king, he was suddenly stumped.\nWait a minute. There were three heads here! Which one should he knock?!\nThis was the first time that Lin Fan did not know which head he should knock!" } ]

Almost any Rune Crafter could craft this level of Rune Stone and it only served to raise their mastery level. Just like a [Level 1 Whetstone], it had come to a point where it’s something that can be given away. Even the recipient might not appreciate this much! That was the reason why Han Ying Xue had gotten rid of all the Level 1 Rune Stones from her inventory and storage.\nZhang Yang stared at Han Ying Xue, and laughed under his breath.\n\"What are you looking at? I’ll pluck your little balls off and shove them down your throat!\" Han Ying Xue scolded viciously.\nZhang Yang laughed more, ignoring her. He took out his Dragon Tooth Battle Axe and inscribed the enhanced Vampire Rune Stone on it.\n‘Ding! Dragon Tooth Battle Axe has gained the effect of {Vampiric +1}. Level 2 Whetstone effect has been replaced!’\nIt’s a shame that both the whetstone and the Rune Stone could not stack.\nZhang Yang took out another enhanced Vampire Rune Stone and applied on the weapon. However, after two seconds, a \"crack\" was heard and there was a long and unsightly crack on the weapon’s edge.\n‘Ding! Enchantment failed. The {Vampiric +1} effect on the Dragon Tooth Battle Axe has disappeared. 10% of the weapon Durability has been lost!’\n\"WTF! You sly minx! What kind of Rune Stone did you gave me! I’d failed at +2!\"\nHan Ying Xue shrugged and scoffed. \"That’s your problem! Not me. I only used two Rune Stones and achieve {Mana Drain +2}!\"\n\"What about the little girl?\" Zhang Yang laughed as he turned to face Wei Yan Er.\nWei Yan Er shrunk and bashfully whispered. \"16 pieces…\"\n\"BAH!\" Zhang Yang exploded in laughter. \"Looks like there’s no such thing as being ‘worst’! It can only get much ‘worse’!\"\n\"Hey! This young lady here is beautiful and charming! Why would you say I’m worse?!\" Wei Yan Er rolled her eyes. \"Hurry up and keep on inscribing more Runes! Don’t beat around the bush! I have a bet with cousin-sister right here on whose luck would be the worst!\"\nLuckily, Zhang Yang only used two pieces of enhanced Vampire Rune Stone and managed to upgrade his weapon to {Vampiric +2}. He did not even fail a single time when he came to his shield. He had only used a total of 6 pieces of Rune Stones.\nAfter he was done inscribing Runes, he bid everyone farewell and used the city’s Teleportation point to fly over to Tukula Fortress. There, he summoned the white bear and rode on into the wild.\nSo far, Zhang Yang was the only person who had reached Level 60. The new dungeon \"Thunderbolt Prison\" require a number of players that his guild could not provide. The only choice left was for him to get everyone to train their levels together. Furthermore, the new dungeon had a rather complicated system. The dungeon required four parties to start the raid. There were not enough members in Lone Desert Smoke to even dispatch 4 parties of 5 men!\nZhang Yang rode through the Frozen Sky Wastelands and entered the Forest of Tanila.\nForest of Tanila is a Level 60+ training ground, and it also carried the possibility of being claimed as a Territory! Zhang Yang’s current objective was to search for new Territories.\nTheoretically, as long as players achieved Level 60 , new Territories would spawn in Level 60+ maps.\nForest of Tanila was a place with extremely large and ancient trees. The ground was rather open as the tree were widely spreaded from each other. That being said, the branches grew excessively, and the leaves from all the trees around had covered the entire sky. Light from the sun could only seep through the gaps among the leaves to reach the floor. The forest was extremely cooling, but well-lit. Zhang Yang walked slowly across the forest, pacing slowly without any intention to rush. As he strode on, rays of light beamed on his armor, reflecting the sunlight out across the forest. Zhang Yang lingered in the forest for a total of three days.\nOn the fourth day, as he was roaming around the forest, he stumbled upon an open area with a camp in the middle of it.\n\"Hold your steps!\" Two Elven warrior rushed over. Both of them wielded long swords. Though they looked extremely graceful, there were markings and tribal paint all over their foreheads, making them look rather savage, their eyes gleaming with killing intent.\nZhang Yang unsummoned his mount and did an adventurer’s salute. \"Fellow Elven warriors, I am an adventurer from the White Jade Castle!\"\nThe two female warriors exchange a quick look with each other and one of them asked. \"We have sent out countless requests for aid! And yet White Jade Castle sends us a single man?!\"\nZhang Yang smiled. \"Sometime, a man can do things an army could not!\" \"Hmph.\"\nThe two female warriors sheathed their swords across their backs as they scoffed.\n\"Brag all you want. We shall see your strength. Enter the camp and speak to our leader!\"\nThe camp area was as large as a football field with a defensive parameter made out of wood, to block off wild animals. There were at least thousands of tents in the camp, with the largest tent being right in the center. On its sides, were flag poles stuck into the ground, bearing the sigil of the elven race.\nZhang Yang’s priority was to search for a Territory. However, he had now been led on a little detour as this place seemed to have a quest for him. He might as well complete the quest. Who knows? The quest might reward him with something valuable!\nThe moment Zhang Yang stepped into the tent, Kalor noticed him and lifted her head up to glance at him. After having a look at Zhang Yang, she went back to the map. \"So, you’re the reinforcement sent by the Union?\"\n\"I guess so.\" Said Zhang Yang. \"Priestess Kalor, what sort of trouble are you in?\"\nKalor lean back on her chair and sighed lightly. \"A bunch of bandits have set up a stronghold in the Thunderstorm Castle, somewhere north of the forest. Their activities are threatening our very lives. Even though we have set up a front line here, the bandits would still sneak around here, often attacking our base. They would rob our supplies and kidnap our people to sell them as slaves!\"\nZhang Yang cocked his head. \"Why don’t you guys destroy their stronghold?\" he asked.\n\"Thunderstorm Castle has a perfect, impregnable defense. Their stronghold has the geographical advantage! With mountains surrounding their base, the only entrance in is limited to one! Furthermore, they have set up three magical cannons at the entrance of the stronghold. With our current force, we will be annihilated if we were to start an attack!\" said Kalor disgruntledly.\nKalor sighed. Out of the sudden silence, she stood with a sudden glint in her eyes. She looked at Zhang Yang and smirked. \"Perhaps our approach to the attack was wrong. Perhaps…if we were to sneak into the stronghold and find out where they store the energy source and ammunition of the magical cannons and destroy that! Once the cannons are down, we could take the opportunity to strike and destroy the stronghold! Human! Do you accept this impossible mission?\"\n‘Ding! Priestess Kalor has a quest for you: Destroy the Defense of Thunderstorm Castle. Will you accept it?’\nAlright, now that he had a quest, he has something to do! Zhang Yang nodded. \"Priestess, I will do my best to assist our allied Elven brethren!\"\n‘Ding! You have obtained [A Bag of Explosives]!’\n[A Bag of Explosives] (Quest Item)\nUse: Tick! Tick! Run! It’ll blow after 10 seconds!\n\"Wonderful! I have here a magic cape that will temporary change your appearance into a female elf! There will be bandits roaming around in the forest! When that happens, I want you to let them kidnap you and allow them to take you into their stronghold! When night comes, you can remove your disguise and find the energy source to destroy it!\"\nKalor took out a black cape and handed it over to Zhang Yang.\nD*mn! What a bold strategy!\nZhang Yang accepted the cape and scolded the developers for thinking of such a psychotic plan!\n[Cape of Disguise] (Quest Item)\nUse: Turns you into a beautiful Elven female! Removing the disguise will also purge all immobile status! Note: the magic power of the cape is limited to only one hour.\nCharges left: 1/1 Zhang Yang took all the items, placed them in his inventory, and left the place. Based on the location Kalor had explained, the place that he should be heading for was somewhere to the north of the forest. Zhang Yang rode his way north, and after 20 minutes, he arrived at his destination. Zhang Yang observed the stronghold from afar and understood now why the stronghold was said to be impregnable. The castle was built within a valley of mountains. Although the size of the stronghold was large, it was completely shielded by mountains all around it. There was only one entrance and even that was protected with a river surrounding the castle. To enter the stronghold, one must cross a drawbridge from within the castle itself. Furthermore, the three magical cannons hanging outside the entrance of the castle walls were not mere ornaments. Those contraptions are not some toys; they could easily fire at long range, laying waste to anything they struck.\nAt first, Zhang Yang thought of using {Shadow of the Void} to sneak into the castle. However, he had second thoughts when he saw the large door being tightly shut. The whole time he lay there in wait, the draw bridge was never lowered, even after he had spent some time waiting for something to happen.\nThe only option left was to get kidnapped by the bandits as a female elf!\nIt can’t be helped. Zhang Yang sighed and summoned the bear. He rode the bear and started searching the forest for the bandits. After only five to six minutes, he found a group of bandits, sitting around a campfire roasting what seemed to be their food. Zhang Yang started to move. He got off the bear, took out the cape, and after a bright glow, Zhang Yang turned from a rugged, tough, manly adventurer into a slim, curvy, and sexy elven female. Zhang Yang was now wearing only a rough linen skirt on him. The rest of his original equipment, his shield, his axe, his armor were all hidden beneath the disguise.\nHe lowered his head and walked slowly towards the group of bandits, entering their aggro range. He then pretended to act frantic and quickly ran away.\n\"Hey! There’s a girl! Chase after her!\" The bandits screamed and started to chase after Zhang Yang. The kidnappers were very happy that their \"victim\" was such an easy catch, practically walking into their hands. After that, they brought Zhang Yang into the stronghold.\nWhen they approached the river, one of the bandits shouted out to the occupants of the castle, and the door to the castle was opened. The draw bridge was lowered and the bandits entered the castle. After pushing Zhang Yang into a small shack, the bandits locked the doors and left him there.\n\"Huh?\"\nThe disguise effect of the cape could not be dispelled manually! Much worse, when in disguise, Zhang Yang could not even use his weapon. All he could do right now was to wait until the effect wears off by itself. It did not take long for the magical spell to disperse, returning Zhang Yang to his original appearance. He took out his battle axe and start hacking at the door in front of him. [Strong Wooden Door] (Tool)\nAfter a series of banging and cracking, the door turned into a pile of splintered wood.\nZhang Yang then exited the shack and started his search one house at a time.\nMonsters have a certain level of A.I programming. Since this was just a game, the system would only trigger when a player is within the distance of the monster’s aggro, regardless of how visible your actual hiding spot was. As long as you’re away from the aggro triggering distance, you can stand, breakdance, or take a dump without being attacked.\nDefense: 60 Zhang Yang summoned the bear and started his killing spree while searching for the cannon’s energy source.\nStill, the area of the castle was so large that Zhang Yang had been killing for more than three hours, only managing to cover a quarter of the entire place. By then, it was already 6pm. Zhang Yang logged off and had his dinner before coming back to continue his search. After two hours, he arrived at a rather large building. Four guards were standing outside. They were all elite tier!\nJust four? Gimme a break…\nZhang Yang pulled on the reins of his bear, and started charging fiercely towards the guards." } ]
第两百三十八章 一级符文石强化的效果太低，制作的材料又相对便宜，几乎每个符文师都会为了升技能做出一大堆来，就跟一级磨刀石差不多，属于送给别人、别人还会嫌占地方的鸡肋货！ 所以，韩莹雪把一级符石文全部清仓，这也是可以理解的事情。 张扬盯着韩莹雪，嘿嘿嘿地笑。 韩莹雪恶狠狠地威胁道。 张扬哈哈大笑，取出龙牙战斧，把强化吸血的符文石打磨了上去。 “叮！ 你的龙牙战斧获得了吸血+1的强化效果，二级磨刀石效果自动被替代！” 可惜，磨刀石与符文强化效果不能共存。 张扬又掏出一块强化吸血的符文石去打磨武器，但两秒之后，却只见龙牙战斧“啪”地一下，居然现出了一条不起眼的裂纹！ “叮！ 强化武器失败，你的龙牙战斧吸血+1的强化效果消失了，并且耐久度受到10%的磨损！” “靠，雪妖女，你这是什么烂石头，才+2就失败了！” 韩莹雪轻轻一哼，道：“那是你人品差，我可是只用了两块符文石就升到了力回流+2呢！” “小丫头呢？” 张扬笑着看向卫烟儿。 卫烟儿忸忸捏捏，小声地道：“16块！” “哈哈！” 张扬忍不住大笑，道，“没有最衰，只有更衰！” 卫烟儿给了张扬一个大白眼，道，“你快点继续啊，别让我划的圈圈浪费了！ 我可是跟表姐打赌了，你要比我更倒霉呢！” 还好，张扬又用了两块强化吸血的符文石后，就把武器强化到了吸血+2，强化盾牌是更是一次也没有失败，总共才用了6块符文石。 搞定了武器符文，张扬利用城主传送来到了图库拉要塞，召出大白熊疾驰而出。 目前，公会里只有他一个人达到了60级，新副本“雷霆监狱”根本组不起人，只能慢慢等人把级别练起来了。 而且，这新副本还比较特殊，需要四支队伍一起进入才能启动，光大漠孤烟一家凑出5人队来还不够！ 张扬穿过冰天荒野，进入了达尼拉森林。 达尼拉森林是60+的练级地图，也是有可能刷新出领地的地图，张扬的目标就是去找找看有没有领地刷新出来。 从理论上来说，只要有玩家达到60级，领地就有机率在60+的地图上刷新。 达尼拉森林自然到处是一株株高大苍郁的巨树，阳光从茂密的树叶间射下，在张扬身上投射出光怪陆离的图案。 一连三天，张扬都泡在了这里。 第四天，张扬在森林中不知奔行了多久，蓦然只觉前方豁然开朗，闯进了一座营地。 “站住！” 两个精灵族战士立刻冲了过来，手中各握着一把长剑，都是婀娜多姿的美女，额头印着精灵族特有的族纹，一副杀气腾腾的模样。 张扬取消坐骑，行了个冒险者的敬手礼，道：“精灵族的勇士，我是白玉城的冒险者！” 那两个女战士面面相觑，一人道：“我们发出了那么多请求增援的急讯，而这就是联盟所谓的援兵吗？” 张扬微微一笑，道：“有时候，一个人却可以干出几万人都做不到的事！” 两人收起兵器，放张扬进入营地。 这是一片占地约有足球场大小的营地，四周用木栅栏做成了防御圈，以阻挡野兽的入侵。 营地里大概有千来顶帐篷，最中间的那顶帐篷最是高大，边上还插着一面旌旗，旗帜上印着精灵族的徽记。 虽然张扬的主要目的是寻找领地，但貌似这里有任务，倒是不妨做一下，说不定会有什么好的奖励。 进入中间那顶大帐篷，只见一个身着乳白色祭司服的精灵族美女正端坐在案台之后，手里握着一把淡银色的杖，正对着桌子上一张地图点来点去，眉间颇有忧色。 “算是吧！” 张扬点点头，道，“卡萝祭司，你们究竟遇上了什么困难？” 卡萝轻轻一叹，道：“一伙强盗在森林的北部建立了一个叫雷雨堡的据点，已经威胁到了我们部落的生存！ 我们虽然在这里设立了前哨站，但那些强盗还是经常绕过这里，袭击我们的部落，掳夺我们的物资和族人，把她们当成奴隶卖掉！” “为什么不直接消灭他们的据地？” 张扬道。 “雷雨堡的防御设施相当完善，三面环山，只有一个入口可以进入！ 而且，入口处有三门魔导炮，以我们目前的兵力，若是正面强攻的话，将会死伤惨重！” 卡萝无奈地说道。 “除非——”卡萝的眼睛一亮，看着张扬，道，“可以偷偷潜进雷雨堡，摸清楚他们存放魔导炮能量晶源的仓库位置，把那仓库给炸了，那么我们就可以趁机发动突袭，一举消灭他们！ 人类，你愿意帮助我们完成这个艰巨的任务吗？” 女祭司卡萝向你了任务：破坏雷雨堡的防御，是否接受？” 有任务自然要做了！ 张扬点点头，道：“女祭司，我愿意为精灵盟友尽一份力！” 你获得了火药包！” 使用：滴嗒！ 滴嗒！ 快跑，炸药10秒后就会爆炸！ 这里有一件魔斗篷，可以把你暂时变化为精灵族女性的模样。 森林中不时有强盗经过，到时候你故意让强盗抓住，让他们把你带回雷雨堡，等到晚上，你再解除伪装，找到能量晶源的所在，并将之炸毁！” 卡萝取出一件黑色的斗篷，递给了张扬。 靠，这算什么锼主意！ 张扬接过斗篷，不由地暗骂设计这个任务的程序员心理变态！ 使用：将你伪装成一个精灵族美女！ 解除伪装时，将清除一切禁锢状态！ 注意，斗篷中的魔能量有限，只能持续1个小时。 离开了银翼营地，张扬按照任务所述，前往达尼拉森林的北部，大概二十多分钟后，他就来到了地头，只见那是一座依山而建的城堡，占地很大，三面环山，入口处还开凿出了一条护城河，必须通过一条吊桥才能抵临城堡大门！ 而在入口处的城墙上摆着三门巨大的魔导炮，那玩意可是射程超远，威力巨大！ 张扬原想利用虚空之影直接潜进去，但见城堡的大门紧闭、吊桥高悬，半天都没有什么动静，不禁只能放弃这个打算。 看来，只有伪装成精灵美女让强盗抓了！ 张扬召唤出金耳熊王，在森林中搜寻起来。 不过五六分钟，他就在不远处找到一伙强盗，就五个人，正围着一团篝火在烧烤食物。 取消坐骑，拿出伪装斗篷披在身上，一道白光涌过，张扬顿时变成了一个体态妙曼、丰臀窄腰的精灵女性，穿着一条粗布麻衣的长裙，盾牌、武器、盔甲之类的全部隐没在了斗篷之下。 他低头向那五个强盗走去，直到进入了怪物的仇恨列表，才故作惊慌失措的转身就逃。 “美女！ 美女！ 快抓住她！” 将张扬拿下，那五个强盗都是喜悦无比，立刻将他押送去了雷雨堡。 有那五个强盗叫门，城堡大门自然洞开，吊桥放下，由得他们入内。 那几个强盗将张扬推进一间屋子后，“嘭”地一下关上了木门，扬长而去。 这斗篷能穿不能脱！ 而且，在伪装状态下，张扬连武器都拿不出来，只能等一小时后斗篷的魔力消失自动化为碎片落下，他才恢复了原状，扬起战斧就向木门上劈了过去。 乒乒乓乓，一阵劈砍，木门很快就化为一堆破木板。 张扬走了出去，开始一间间屋子地寻找起来。 怪物虽然有相当地ai，但这毕竟只是一个游戏，每一个强盗的视野都是以仇恨范围来定的，只要没有走进怪物的仇恨视野，那么就是站在它的对面，它也只会当作什么也没有看到。 张扬召出了金耳熊王，开始了在城堡中大开杀戒，寻找着存放能量晶源的所在。 看看时间已经快要晚上六点了，他就先下线去吃晚饭。 填饱了肚子，张扬再度上线，继续在城堡中大杀四方，又是两个多小时后，他来到了一座看守相当严密的大屋前面，门口有四个强盗怪看守，都是精英级别！ 才四个？ 张扬策动着大白熊，猛然杀将出去。
Chapter 238: The Infiltration Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Level 1 Rune Stone’s were weak and the materials needed for crafting were just too cheap. Almost any Rune Crafter could craft this level of Rune Stone and it only served to raise their mastery level. Just like a [Level 1 Whetstone], it had come to a point where it’s something that can be given away. Even the recipient might not appreciate this much! That was the reason why Han Ying Xue had gotten rid of all the Level 1 Rune Stones from her inventory and storage. Zhang Yang stared at Han Ying Xue, and laughed under his breath. "What are you looking at? I’ll pluck your little balls off and shove them down your throat!" Han Ying Xue scolded viciously. Zhang Yang laughed more, ignoring her. He took out his Dragon Tooth Battle Axe and inscribed the enhanced Vampire Rune Stone on it. ‘Ding! Dragon Tooth Battle Axe has gained the effect of {Vampiric +1}. Level 2 Whetstone effect has been replaced!’ It’s a shame that both the whetstone and the Rune Stone could not stack. Zhang Yang took out another enhanced Vampire Rune Stone and applied on the weapon. However, after two seconds, a "crack" was heard and there was a long and unsightly crack on the weapon’s edge. ‘Ding! Enchantment failed. The {Vampiric +1} effect on the Dragon Tooth Battle Axe has disappeared. 10% of the weapon Durability has been lost!’ "WTF! You sly minx! What kind of Rune Stone did you gave me! I’d failed at +2!" Han Ying Xue shrugged and scoffed. "That’s your problem! Not me. I only used two Rune Stones and achieve {Mana Drain +2}!" "What about the little girl?" Zhang Yang laughed as he turned to face Wei Yan Er. Wei Yan Er shrunk and bashfully whispered. "16 pieces…" "BAH!" Zhang Yang exploded in laughter. "Looks like there’s no such thing as being ‘worst’! It can only get much ‘worse’!" "Hey! This young lady here is beautiful and charming! Why would you say I’m worse?!" Wei Yan Er rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and keep on inscribing more Runes! Don’t beat around the bush! I have a bet with cousin-sister right here on whose luck would be the worst!" Luckily, Zhang Yang only used two pieces of enhanced Vampire Rune Stone and managed to upgrade his weapon to {Vampiric +2}. He did not even fail a single time when he came to his shield. He had only used a total of 6 pieces of Rune Stones. After he was done inscribing Runes, he bid everyone farewell and used the city’s Teleportation point to fly over to Tukula Fortress. There, he summoned the white bear and rode on into the wild. So far, Zhang Yang was the only person who had reached Level 60. The new dungeon "Thunderbolt Prison" require a number of players that his guild could not provide. The only choice left was for him to get everyone to train their levels together. Furthermore, the new dungeon had a rather complicated system. The dungeon required four parties to start the raid.

Forest of Tanila is a Level 60+ training ground, and it also carried the possibility of being claimed as a Territory! Zhang Yang’s current objective was to search for new Territories.

Zhang Yang walked slowly across the forest, pacing slowly without any intention to rush. As he strode on, rays of light beamed on his armor, reflecting the sunlight out across the forest. Zhang Yang lingered in the forest for a total of three days. On the fourth day, as he was roaming around the forest, he stumbled upon an open area with a camp in the middle of it. "Hold your steps!" Two Elven warrior rushed over. Both of them wielded long swords. Though they looked extremely graceful, there were markings and tribal paint all over their foreheads, making them look rather savage, their eyes gleaming with killing intent. Zhang Yang unsummoned his mount and did an adventurer’s salute. "Fellow Elven warriors, I am an adventurer from the White Jade Castle!" The two female warriors exchange a quick look with each other and one of them asked. "We have sent out countless requests for aid! And yet White Jade Castle sends us a single man?!" Zhang Yang smiled. "Sometime, a man can do things an army could not!" "Hmph." The two female warriors sheathed their swords across their backs as they scoffed. "Brag all you want. We shall see your strength. Enter the camp and speak to our leader!" The camp area was as large as a football field with a defensive parameter made out of wood, to block off wild animals. There were at least thousands of tents in the camp, with the largest tent being right in the center. On its sides, were flag poles stuck into the ground, bearing the sigil of the elven race. Zhang Yang’s priority was to search for a Territory. However, he had now been led on a little detour as this place seemed to have a quest for him. He might as well complete the quest. Who knows? The quest might reward him with something valuable! The moment Zhang Yang stepped into the tent, Kalor noticed him and lifted her head up to glance at him. After having a look at Zhang Yang, she went back to the map. "So, you’re the reinforcement sent by the Union?" "I guess so." Said Zhang Yang. "Priestess Kalor, what sort of trouble are you in?" Kalor lean back on her chair and sighed lightly. "A bunch of bandits have set up a stronghold in the Thunderstorm Castle, somewhere north of the forest. Their activities are threatening our very lives. Even though we have set up a front line here, the bandits would still sneak around here, often attacking our base. They would rob our supplies and kidnap our people to sell them as slaves!" Zhang Yang cocked his head. "Why don’t you guys destroy their stronghold?" he asked. "Thunderstorm Castle has a perfect, impregnable defense. Their stronghold has the geographical advantage! With mountains surrounding their base, the only entrance in is limited to one! Furthermore, they have set up three magical cannons at the entrance of the stronghold. With our current force, we will be annihilated if we were to start an attack!" said Kalor disgruntledly. Kalor sighed. Out of the sudden silence, she stood with a sudden glint in her eyes. She looked at Zhang Yang and smirked. "Perhaps our approach to the attack was wrong. Perhaps…if we were to sneak into the stronghold and find out where they store the energy source and ammunition of the magical cannons and destroy that! Once the cannons are down, we could take the opportunity to strike and destroy the stronghold! Human! Do you accept this impossible mission?" ‘Ding! Priestess Kalor has a quest for you: Destroy the Defense of Thunderstorm Castle. Will you accept it?’ Alright, now that he had a quest, he has something to do! Zhang Yang nodded. "Priestess, I will do my best to assist our allied Elven brethren!" ‘Ding! You have obtained [A Bag of Explosives]!’ [A Bag of Explosives] (Quest Item) Use: Tick! Tick! Run! It’ll blow after 10 seconds! "Wonderful! I have here a magic cape that will temporary change your appearance into a female elf! There will be bandits roaming around in the forest! When that happens, I want you to let them kidnap you and allow them to take you into their stronghold! When night comes, you can remove your disguise and find the energy source to destroy it!" Kalor took out a black cape and handed it over to Zhang Yang. D*mn! What a bold strategy! Zhang Yang accepted the cape and scolded the developers for thinking of such a psychotic plan! [Cape of Disguise] (Quest Item) Use: Turns you into a beautiful Elven female! Removing the disguise will also purge all immobile status! Note: the magic power of the cape is limited to only one hour. Charges left: 1/1 Zhang Yang took all the items, placed them in his inventory, and left the place. Based on the location Kalor had explained, the place that he should be heading for was somewhere to the north of the forest. Zhang Yang rode his way north, and after 20 minutes, he arrived at his destination. Zhang Yang observed the stronghold from afar and understood now why the stronghold was said to be impregnable. The castle was built within a valley of mountains. Although the size of the stronghold was large, it was completely shielded by mountains all around it. There was only one entrance and even that was protected with a river surrounding the castle. To enter the stronghold, one must cross a drawbridge from within the castle itself. Furthermore, the three magical cannons hanging outside the entrance of the castle walls were not mere ornaments. Those contraptions are not some toys; they could easily fire at long range, laying waste to anything they struck. At first, Zhang Yang thought of using {Shadow of the Void} to sneak into the castle. However, he had second thoughts when he saw the large door being tightly shut. The whole time he lay there in wait, the draw bridge was never lowered, even after he had spent some time waiting for something to happen. The only option left was to get kidnapped by the bandits as a female elf! It can’t be helped. Zhang Yang sighed and summoned the bear. He rode the bear and started searching the forest for the bandits. After only five to six minutes, he found a group of bandits, sitting around a campfire roasting what seemed to be their food. Zhang Yang started to move. He got off the bear, took out the cape, and after a bright glow, Zhang Yang turned from a rugged, tough, manly adventurer into a slim, curvy, and sexy elven female. Zhang Yang was now wearing only a rough linen skirt on him. The rest of his original equipment, his shield, his axe, his armor were all hidden beneath the disguise. He lowered his head and walked slowly towards the group of bandits, entering their aggro range. He then pretended to act frantic and quickly ran away. "Hey! There’s a girl! Chase after her!" The bandits screamed and started to chase after Zhang Yang. The kidnappers were very happy that their "victim" was such an easy catch, practically walking into their hands. After that, they brought Zhang Yang into the stronghold. When they approached the river, one of the bandits shouted out to the occupants of the castle, and the door to the castle was opened. The draw bridge was lowered and the bandits entered the castle. After pushing Zhang Yang into a small shack, the bandits locked the doors and left him there. "Huh?" The disguise effect of the cape could not be dispelled manually! Much worse, when in disguise, Zhang Yang could not even use his weapon. All he could do right now was to wait until the effect wears off by itself. It did not take long for the magical spell to disperse, returning Zhang Yang to his original appearance. He took out his battle axe and start hacking at the door in front of him. [Strong Wooden Door] (Tool) After a series of banging and cracking, the door turned into a pile of splintered wood. Zhang Yang then exited the shack and started his search one house at a time. Monsters have a certain level of A.I programming. Since this was just a game, the system would only trigger when a player is within the distance of the monster’s aggro, regardless of how visible your actual hiding spot was. As long as you’re away from the aggro triggering distance, you can stand, breakdance, or take a dump without being attacked. Defense: 60 Zhang Yang summoned the bear and started his killing spree while searching for the cannon’s energy source. Still, the area of the castle was so large that Zhang Yang had been killing for more than three hours, only managing to cover a quarter of the entire place. By then, it was already 6pm. Zhang Yang logged off and had his dinner before coming back to continue his search. After two hours, he arrived at a rather large building. Four guards were standing outside. They were all elite tier! Just four? Gimme a break… Zhang Yang pulled on the reins of his bear, and started charging fiercely towards the guards.

We just need to clean it up.\" It was obvious that Yun Qing had made up her mind.\nHearing Yun Qing's words, Yun Qing's uncle stopped trying to persuade her. He only said, \"Alright, I'll go home and get a broom.\"\n\"There's no need, Uncle. We'll just clean the place up. You can get busy.\" She could tell that her uncle wanted to help her clean the house.\nYun Qing's uncle looked at the summer and suddenly understood. He chuckled and said, \"That's fine, I won't disturb the two of you. Xiao Qing, Xiao Xia, you two go do your work first. Let's eat together tonight.\"\n\"Yes, Uncle.\" This time, Yun Qing didn't reject her uncle's good intentions.\nYun Qing's uncle left quickly, but Yun Qing came to the side of the car. She opened the trunk and took out two mops and some cleaning cloths. She handed a mop to Xia Xia, \"Let's go and clean the floor.\"\nSummer finally understood. So big sister Yun Qing had specially brought him here to be a laborer.\nHowever, he did not mind in the summer as he had plenty of strength anyway. It was fine to be a laborer once, but if he could be a laborer now and continue to be one at night, then that would be for the best.\nTo clean a two-story flat was actually quite a big project, especially since no one had lived in the house for many years. There were even places with dust several inches thick in some places.\nIn the beginning, Yun Qing split the tasks with him, but in the end, she found that she was not as good as the summer at all, so she asked Xia Qingfeng to take the water and mop the table and clean the windows. What she wanted to do was to clean up the place that she had cleaned in the summer, because in summer, this fellow only wanted to be fast, but he wasn't careful at all.\nThe two of them spent the entire afternoon cleaning, and while most of the cleaning was done in the summer, it was rather relaxing. On the other hand, Yun Qing was breathing heavily and was sweating, but in the evening, this house could be said to be completely new, it no longer had the musty smell, no dust, and the windows were bright and clean, it did not look like it had lived for a long time at all.\nOf course, he knew that Yun Qing's uncle was called Yun Bo, and he also knew that Yun Qing had the same surname as his mother. This was the same as his sister's wife, but he did not know that Yun Qing had the same surname as her mother, so he had not asked about this matter for the time being.\n\"Sister Yun Qing, shall we stay here tonight?\" Summer and Yun Qing were standing in the bedroom, Yun Qing was resting on the bed, it was a wooden bed with a classical smell. Although it was quite old, after it was cleaned, it looked new, the bed was also very familiar, the only drawback was that there was no blanket on the bed.\n\"Yes.\" Yun Qing replied softly, \"I forgot to buy a blanket. Looks like we'll have to make a trip to the county city later.\"\nBefore he could say anything in the summer, a voice suddenly came from outside, \"Sister Qing, Brother-in-law, are you inside?\"\nThis voice was not unfamiliar to Xia Zhi Guang. It was Yun Zhi Guang. It seemed that he had already returned from Jianghai City.\n\"Here.\" Yun Qing agreed before getting up and walking out. He saw Yun Zhiguang standing by the door. There was also a tricycle parked outside the yard, with some stuff on it.\n\"Sister Qing, brother-in-law!\" Seeing the two of them, Yun Zhiguang greeted them warmly.\n\"Little Light, did anything happen to your dog?\" Yun Qing asked casually.\n\"It's alright, Sister Qing, Brother-in-law, thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to go home.\" He was not a rich man, tens of thousands of dollars was almost unbearable for him. Most importantly, he had never been to the business before, and now that he had finally managed to make money, if he lost big the first time, then he would not have the confidence to continue working in the future.\n\"Have you just come back? Then let's go home first. \" She wasn't actually very close with this cousin of hers. Of course, it wasn't that their relationship wasn't good, it was just that they weren't that close.\n\"Sister Qing, I brought something back for you.\" Yun Zhiguang said while moving things down from the tricycle, \"My dad called me and said that you guys are going to stay at home, but since I don't have a blanket, I bought some sheets and a quilt. There are still some new quilts in my house, I'll move them over for you, and I've also brought a water heater over for you. Sister Qing, wait a moment, I'll help you move the quilts first, so we can set the water heater for you later.\"\nYun Zhiguang carried the water heater and a can of gas in first, then quickly left. A few minutes later, he returned with a new bed of cotton wool.\n\"Sister Qing, let me help you with the padding first!\" Yun Zhiguang carried the cotton wool and wanted to go in.\n\"I'll do it myself.\" This cousin's enthusiasm was beyond her expectations. She did not expect Yun Zhiguang to actually buy all the things she needed. It seemed like she did not need to go to the county town anymore.\nYun Qing went to make the bed first, while Yun Zhiguang was given a water heater in the summer. After half an hour, when the water heater was properly installed, Yun Zhiguang hurried home. In the summer, he went to his bedroom to look for Yun Qing, only to find that the bed was tidily made up.\n\"Sister Yun Qing, what are you thinking about?\" Xia asked curiously.\n\"Nothing.\" Yun Qing came back to her senses and looked at the summer sun. Her tone was rather gentle. \"Is the water heater ready?\"\n\"I'm done. I've tried. I can take a bath.\" Xia replied.\n\"Sit here for a moment, I'm going to take a bath.\" Yun Qing had actually prepared well this time. She had brought her clothes with her. It was obvious that she had already decided to stay here before coming here. She just hadn't told Xia Xia Mu about it.\nHe just looked at the big bed and thought about a wonderful thing. Tonight, he was going to sleep in this bed with big sister Yun Qing so he could do whatever he wanted with big sister Yun Qing.\nAfter an unknown amount of time had passed, he suddenly heard footsteps and jumped up. However, he soon became unhappy and stared at the person standing in front of the door. He asked in dissatisfaction, \"Hey, who are you?\"\nThe person who appeared at the door was not Yun Qing, but two men. One was older than the other and looked to be about sixty years old. His hair was white, while the other was young, only in his twenties.\n\"Excuse me, is Yun Qing here?\" The one who spoke was a man in his sixties. His tone was rather polite." } ]

Yun Qing came back to her senses and looked at the summer sun. Her tone was rather gentle. "Is the water heater ready?" "I'm done. I've tried. I can take a bath." Xia replied. "Sit here for a moment, I'm going to take a bath." Yun Qing had actually prepared well this time. She had brought her clothes with her. It was obvious that she had already decided to stay here before coming here. She just hadn't told Xia Xia Mu about it. He just looked at the big bed and thought about a wonderful thing. Tonight, he was going to sleep in this bed with big sister Yun Qing so he could do whatever he wanted with big sister Yun Qing. After an unknown amount of time had passed, he suddenly heard footsteps and jumped up. However, he soon became unhappy and stared at the person standing in front of the door. He asked in dissatisfaction, "Hey, who are you?" The person who appeared at the door was not Yun Qing, but two men. One was older than the other and looked to be about sixty years old. His hair was white, while the other was young, only in his twenties. "Excuse me, is Yun Qing here?" The one who spoke was a man in his sixties. His tone was rather polite.

However, these two over here were true apothecaries of the guild, people of respectable standing. They should at least know a little more than her.\n\"Pills that awaken unique constitutions?\"\nOuyang Cheng and Du Man stared at one another for a moment before the former replied, \"There is, but different constitutions require different pills to awaken.

第九十六章 “是龙鳞草，是我们弄错了！” 过了老半天，欧阳成满脸苦笑。 做为天玄王国有名的炼丹师，一向都是他给别人上课，没想到今天让别人给他上课了！ “既然是龙鳞草，第二项限时辨识，也就只有你通过，只要修为达到真气境巅峰以上，就是炼丹学徒了！” 听到这话，孙涛一个跟斗，差点没哭出来。 要不要这么坑？ 要不要这么打脸？ 不过，虽然心中不甘，见到刚才张悬的恐怖记忆力，也只能把眼泪咽到肚子里。 和这样的怪胎一起考，不服不行啊！ “等考核结束，找个没人的地方，找机会揍他一顿，毕竟我快三十了，年龄比对方大了接近十岁，修为肯定要强，武者四重皮骨境巅峰，应该能够横扫！” 心中恶狠狠地想着，不过这个想法还没结束，就听到对方的声音再次响起。 “我修为是武者五重鼎力境巅峰！” 说完，张悬展露修为。 咣当！ 孙涛摔倒。 “好，好！ 恭喜炼丹师学徒再添一员！” 见他修为符合规定，欧阳成再无废话，从怀中掏出一个徽章递了过来：“这是炼丹师学徒的徽章，有了这个，可以自由进入公会的低等藏书库学习，购买公会出售的丹药，也会享受优惠和优先权！” 炼丹师公会的丹药出售给外人，价格都是很贵的，出售给内部，能拿到很大的折扣。 虽然只是个学徒，已经算得上公会内部人员了。 “是！” 接过徽章，张悬脸上一喜。 费尽辛苦考个学徒，是为了能进入藏书库看书，终于目的达到了。 “还有，成为学徒，你可以选择跟随一位炼丹师，跟在他身后，可以更好接触丹药，凭借你的天赋，我相信，用不了几年，就能成为一名真正的炼丹师！” 欧阳成说到这，满怀期待的看过来。 很显然，是想让张悬跟在他身后。 这个青年记忆力如此恐怖，又有这种天赋，只要悉心教导，相信用不了多久，就会出人头地，如果是他的学徒，他也有很大名气的。 一侧的杜满也有同样意思，目光炯炯。 看到二人的目光，张悬摇了摇头：“不好意思，我暂时还没有跟在炼丹师身后的打算！” 不管怎么说，都是洪天学院的老师，又是穿越众，怎么可能给别人跑腿，当学徒？ 开什么玩笑！ 成为学徒，可以选择跟在炼丹师身后，也可以选择不跟，全凭自己愿意。 “是我操之过急了，你刚成为学徒，不用想这么多，什么时候考虑好了再做决定！” 见他一口拒绝，欧阳成知道问的太着急了，尴尬的一笑。 “是啊，你回去好好考虑一下，跟在炼丹师身后，才能学到本事，更早成为真正炼丹师！” 杜满也点点头。 “嗯！” 知道对方的意思，张悬点头应了一声，突然想到了什么，忍不住问道：“咱们炼丹师公会，有没有能够开启特殊体质的丹药？” 之前问一个服务员，她肯定不知道，但眼前这两位是公会的真正炼丹师，地位最高的人，应该能知道的多一些。 “开启特殊体质的丹药？” 欧阳成、杜满对望了一眼：“有是有，不过，每一种体质都不相同，所用的丹药也不一样，一旦弄错，非但不能开启，弄不好还会起到反作用！” 张悬看过相关书籍，知道这点，接着问道：“那……有没有关于特殊体质配合相关丹药的书籍？ 能不能借给我看看？” 袁涛是龙犀血脉，特殊体质没开启前，越少人知道越安全。 这两个炼丹师虽然看起来不错，但知人知面不知心，难保不会泄露消息，带来麻烦。 所以，龙犀血脉的事，还是少说为好，只说特殊体质，又不说是谁，即便他们怀疑，也只会猜测是自己要用。 “类似的书籍，是有不少，不过，都在高等藏书库，按照规定，只有正式炼丹师才能进入其中查询，就连我，也没资格取出来送给你的！” 欧阳成摇头。 “是啊，丹药、体质这些都是真正炼丹师才研究的事情，只存放在高等藏书库，如果真的想看，可以选择跟在我们身后，凭借你的天赋，一年时间，肯定能冲击一品炼丹师，一旦成功，还不想看什么看什么？” 杜满炼丹师趁机给他做思想工作：“而且，成为真正炼丹师，进入任何一处的炼丹师公会都会受到极高待遇，无论买药还是寻找药材，都有优先权……你要考虑清楚，如果只是自己摸索，想成为炼丹师，速度就慢了，就算天资卓越，没有几年时间，也很难做到！” “不能借？” 张悬一脸苦瓜模样。 这样岂不是说，一番辛苦白费了？ 为了考这个学徒，他可是耽误了不少功夫和时间的。 如果给孙涛、文雪、李叔等人知道他所想，肯定会一口鲜血喷他脸上。 这也叫辛苦？ 你他、妈这叫辛苦，我们这叫什么？ “是啊，想看高等藏书库的书，只能成为炼丹师，这是总会给的规定，如果真想研究如何利用丹药开启特殊体质，还是先想办法成为炼丹师吧！” 欧阳成道。 在他看来，想快速成为炼丹师，只有跟真正炼丹师后面学习，他是整个天玄王城最好的炼丹师，不选自己选谁？ 正想着他开口说要跟自己，该如何回答，就听到对方的声音响起。 “既然……成为炼丹师才能看高等藏书库的书，那……如何考核炼丹师？” 张悬想了一下：“不行，我考一下试试！” “嗯，这个决定很对，只要跟着我，我会倾尽全力培养你……嘎？” 话说了一半，欧阳成才反应过来，声音一下噎在咽喉，眼睛瞪得快要掉下来，死死看向眼前的青年：“你……你说什么？”

In the past few days, once he was free at daytime, he would take a round in the neighboring villages and the wild for two purposes: first, to look for the animals raised in the neighboring farming households that could be set free and lead to the corresponding Fruit of Redemption; second, to cultivate by himself. On a huge, bald rock on top of a hill several kilometers away from Chevli village, Zhang Tie found a good place that was suitable for him to cultivate the \"Bear Back Iron Body Skill\". Over there, no matter how he would hit that rock using his back, that huge rock weighing several thousands tons would remain unchanged. This brought Zhang Tie another chance to strengthen his body and promote the growth of Iron-Body Fruit.\nBased on his current strength, if he practiced \"Bear Back Iron Body Skill\" against the wall of Hanna's house, once he exerted his full strength, he might collapse the wall. However, if he used less strength, he might not be able to achieve the ideal effect. That’s why he had to find a proper place to practice this skill. If he could not find a stout tree, he had to find a huge rock or a cliff that could stand his thousands of kgs' force.\nZhang Tie guessed that one of the reasons why he wasn’t killed during that bloody fight with the undying army of the Sun Dynasty might also lie in the Iron-Body Fruit. Although he had not eaten too many Iron-Body Fruits, the effect of those he had eaten must have been utilised at the most critical moment and saved his life. Because of this, Zhang Tie started to pay more attention to the Iron-Body Fruits after his body fully recovered.\nEspecially now that his body had mutated to a preliminary recovery body, Zhang Tie had super great wound recovery and healing capability which suggested much more special ideas about his future cultivation road. The effect of the Iron-Body Fruit reinforced his physical defense and anti-striking capability. If he could further exert this effect together with the effect of his preliminary recovery body, he would definitely have a greater chance to survive and be as robust as a cockroach which had a super strong vitality.\nZhang Tie was actually very afraid of death, so after gaining the preliminary recovery body, he immediately became extremely concerned about the Iron-Body Fruit. That’s why these days, he definitely spent more time practicing \"Bear Back Iron-Body Skill\" than ever before.\nAt daytime, he would ram his back against that huge rock. When he had to stop due to pain, he would forcefully pat his lower abdomen, chests, neck, thighs, and shins. After that, the pain on his back would have relieve somewhat and he would start to ram his back against the huge rock again.\nHe kept doing that all day long. Even though it were lunch or supper time, he would hurriedly eat some dried rations before returning to his practice.\nZhang Tie really regarded himself as a red iron plate that needed to be hammered. Each time he was hammered and rammed, he would enjoy great happiness. Sometimes, as long as one's mentality changed, arduous and boring cultivation could also be filled with pleasure. For Zhang Tie, this cultivation process was actually a special individual game.\nSince he constantly practiced like this, four days ago, the first Iron-Body Fruit after his complete recovery became mature. After eating it, Zhang Tie finally felt its sweet juices. It didn't make him suffer from diarrhea, just turned into a wisp of icy energy that penetrated into his skin and muscles from inside to the outside.\nIn the following two days, when Zhang Tie constantly patted and rammed himself, he had a different feeling as he felt a wisp of comfortable, warm qi and energy that started to fuse with his skin and muscles. In the process of alternatively warm cultivation and eating icy fruits, Zhang Tie really felt like a hot, red iron plate being quenched after being hammered.\nAfter recovery, the second Iron-Body Fruit was 82% ripe yesterday. After today's practice, Zhang Tie estimated that it would have become completely ripe. Besides this Iron-Body Fruit, the first Leakless Fruit after recovery should also have ripened today. The moment he thought that he could engulf two fruits tonight, Zhang Tie became highly spirited.\nAfter igniting two more burning points, he would be able to be promoted to a LV 5 warrior. As Blapei was peaceful now, and he had gained a preliminary recovery body, Zhang Tie was thinking about completing this promotion in the next month or two. Although this promotion was twice as difficult as the one before, it was of great significance to Zhang Tie at this moment.\nIf there was no emergency, he felt that his Iron-Blood hidden strength could be promoted to Iron-Blood invisible strength when he reached level 5. Controlled by the invisible strength, his Iron-Blood Fist and red-snake sword would be even more powerful. Additionally, when he reached level 5, his physical strength and potential would be further tapped, which meant that his javelin attacks would be more horrifying.\nActually, on that night when he fought with the undying army of the Sun Dynasty, the speed of the javelin that Zhang Tie had freely thrown had already reached the speed of sound. However, Zhang Tie clearly knew that the sonic boom skill that he could grasp had just passed the sound barrier. He could not fully play the role of the sonic boom yet as the effect of his sonic boom was not stable yet. But when he reached level 5, none of the above problems would exist. Perhaps by then, the javelins could fully exert their power in Zhang Tie's hand.\n... When Zhang Tie came back to Chevli, it was already night. However, the village was ten times more boisterous than usual. As the beer carnival was tomorrow, many people in Chevli village had started to make torches and festival lanterns. Additionally, many kids couldn't wait to ignite the torches and the festival lanterns and played with them. Looking from afar, the Chevli village was brightly lit and filled with people's laughter and joyful words.\nPeople here enjoyed eating roasted gooses in festivals. Tonight, from many houses in Chevli village drifted the aroma of roasted gooses.\nSpeaking of them, Zhang Tie had made a new discovery these days—in Blapei, actually, he could set free some more animals, namely those chickens, ducks, and gooses that were raised in many houses in the villages neighboring Blapei. It wouldn’t even cost him too much money to set free those animals. To tell the truth, Zhang Tie was really curious what would the Fruit of Redemption look like after he set free those average livestocks.\nAlthough this idea was very good, Zhang Tie couldn't find any proper reason to do this. He was afraid that the moment he set those livestocks in the wild, they would be caught back by others. It wouldn’t work at all.\nAlthough he could set them free in the Castle of Black Iron, where he didn't need to worry about them being caught back by others, it wasn’t exactly the beset solution. He had brought some earthworms inside the Castle of Black Iron several days ago and made earthworms the second animal that settled ithere after the bees, but the livestock were much bigger than earthworms.\nIt would work if he brought a couple of into the Castle of Black Iron, but it would be too eye-catching if he brought too many of them inside. Additionally, since he was living in Hanna's home, if he often brought chickens and ducks back in to his room which would then disappear the next day, leaving nothing at all, how could he explain that to them. Even an idiot would notice something wrong. Of course, Zhang Tie didn't want to be the target of the public.\nWhen he returned to Hanna's home, Hanna instantly pulled him back into the dining room. What made him surprised was that all of Hanna's family members were staring at a glass of beer on the table in the middle of the dining room. Old Harley, Hanna's dad, and Hanna's elder brother were piously gazing at that glass of beer on the table without even blinking. Hanna's mom and elder sister-in-law also were pretty nervous.\n'Why are they staring at that glass of beer? What's happening? Is it a traditional ceremony that is going to be held before the beer festival?'\nBut before Zhang Tie could open his mouth, he saw Hanna silently glance at him, and so he swallowed his words back.\nAfter a long while, old Harley who was staring at that glass of beer let out a sigh.\n\"Already six minutes!\"\n\"The bubbles are still there!\" Hanna's elder brother said, his eyes shining bright.\n\"The bubbles in the beginning definitely reached over three centimeters!\" Hanna's dad added in an obviously trembling voice.\nAfter that, the three men exchanged glances with evident uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy.\nZhang Tie saw nothing special. After silently asking Hanna what was happening, she told him that for men who treated beer as their lives in Blapei, during the past hundreds of years, they had already concluded a series of methods to appraise the quality of beer. Besides tasting it, they could also judge it with their eyes. Take the bubbles of the beer for an instance, many people could judge the quality only by the bubbles and luster—the standard of top-class beer was that the bubbles could rise three centimeters above the mouth of the glass and remain unchanged for at least four-five minutes.\nAfter smelling its odor, checking its luster and tasting it, its lasting time was the final procedure to appraise its quality. The result was super excellent like the other aspects, so all Hanna's family members became really excited by that.\n...\n\"It looks perfect too. I drunk too fast just now and failed to appraise it's real taste. I will try it again...\" Licking his lips, Hanna's elder brother stretched out his hand to take that glass of beer on the table.\n\"Bastard, you've drunk one glass before!\"\nHanna's dad pushed away the reaching hand of Hanna's elder brother with a cold expression while stretching his own hand towards that glass of beer.\n\"Cough...cough...\" Old Harley coughed twice. Hearing that, Hanna's dad's hand froze in the air.\nWhen old Harley was about to take that glass with a big smile, Hanna took the initiative and picked that glass of beer from the table. She then brought it in front of Zhang Tie. Old Harley gave an embarrassed smile as he drew back his hand.\n\"Try it!\"\nHanna stared at Zhang Tie, full of expectations.\nZhang Tie held the glass and took a careful look. Given its luster, the glass of beer seemed to be more translucent and pure than those he had drunk before. Although it was under the lamp light in the evening, holding the glass, Zhang Tie felt like holding a big piece of excellent yellow crystal which had a very strong texture visually.\nWhen he moved the beer close to his mouth, a unique fragrance brought a sense of liveliness. To tell the truth, Zhang Tie had not smelt such a good odor from beer ever since he was born.\nThe moment the golden liquid entered his mouth, it tasted both fine, smooth, and refreshing, seeming not to have that bitterness and astringency of other beer. Instead, it was fully energetic. It seemed like every wisp of sunlight's essence had been absorbed by the raw materials that then were turned into alcohol.\nWith just a sip, Zhang Tie had become addicted to it.\nAlthough he was not an expert in tasting beer, he clearly knew that the beer in his hand was definitely the most excellent one.\nWhile the other three men in the room were forcefully swallowing their saliva, Zhang Tie bottomed that glass of beer.\nAfter that, he glanced at Hanna with an expression of inquiry. Hanna slightly nodded. Zhang Tie then understood it at once.\nThis beer was brewed by Hanna using the mutated yeast that he had given to her!\nAt this moment Zhang Tie was so shocked that he became speechless.\nThis beer was brewed with the yeast that only contained one third of the properties of the original basic aura yeast. What if the original basic aura yeast was used?\nZhang Tie's heart pounded as he suddenly remembered that what he had brewed in the Castle of Black Iron with those mutated yeast could be drinkable too. His heart raced fiercely.\n\"Does the God bless our Hanna to be be this year's Beer Queen?\"\n\"It cannot be that. The beer that Hanna brewed before had not been this tasty. Since she brewed it like always, how could she make such special beer?\" Hanna's elder brother became dubious. \"No way, I will try another glass to check whether it was an illusion just now!\"\n\"Nobody is allowed to taste Hanna's beer any more!\" Old Harley solemnly glanced at Hanna's elder brother as he had immediately seen through his plot. \"Tomorrow, the beer will conquer every man in Blapei; Hanna will definitely be the Beer Queen of Blapei!\" Saying this, old Harley glanced at Zhang Tie and forced a smile. \"Can you temporarily keep the secret of what happened tonight for Hanna?\"\nZhang Tie nodded. \"You know, we've got one more thing to negotiate at home...\"\nZhang Tie felt embarrassed at once. The moment he was going to leave, his arm was grabbed by Hanna.

第二十一章 张铁今天晚上回来得有些晚，这两天白天只要有时间的时候，他都会一个人到契夫里村周边的村庄和野外看一看，一个是看看周边还有什么可以让自己用来放生，然后生长救赎之果的东西，第二个则是一个人进行修炼，在离契夫里村几公里外的一处小山山顶上一个光秃秃的巨石边上，张铁发现了一个适合修炼他发明的熊背铁胎功的好地方，在那里，不管他怎么用自己的身体去撞击那块石头，那个几千吨的巨石都安安稳稳的，一动不动，这就又给了张铁一个重新锤炼身体，让小树生产出铁胎果的机会。 以现在张铁全身的力量，如果他在汉娜家里的墙上去练这个功的话，只要放开施为，可能还不需要几下，他就能把汉娜家房子的墙壁给撞塌了。 而如果力量小一点的话，可能又达不到修炼的效果，所以练这个功的时候只能另外找地方，要么能找一颗足够粗壮的大树，要么就只能像现在这样，找一块足够吨位的巨石或崖壁，才经得起张铁的折腾。 上次和不死兵团血战的那一夜最后只所以能捡回一条命，张铁估摸着，这其中应该也有部分铁胎果的功劳，虽然他到现在为止吃下去的铁胎果的数量还不多，这个果子的明显效果还没体验出来，但效果绝对是有的，特别是在那种命悬一线的关头，有可能百分之一的区别就是人鬼殊途的差距，也因此，当身体再次恢复之后，张铁就对铁胎果上了心。 铁胎果的效果是增强自己身体的防御和抗击打能力，如果自己能把铁胎果的效果一步步发挥出来，那么。 铁胎果带来的效果与初级恢复之躯的效果组合在一起，那才是真正的黄金搭档，一旦超强的防御能力和超强的恢复能力同时出现在自己身上的时候，自己这条命想不硬都不行，这才是真正打不死的，拥有着超强生命力的小强。 张铁其实很怕死，所以，在拥有了初级恢复之躯后，他对铁胎果的上心程度，一下子提高到了极致。 这些天。 他每天花在熊背铁胎功上的时间，绝对比任何时候都要多，白天的时候他去小山上用自己的身体的背部去撞靠那块巨石。 当背部撞击的时间过长有些承受不住的时候，张铁又开始用手用力拍打起自己前面的小腹，胸膛，脖子，大腿。 就连午饭和晚饭，也经常是随便带点干粮去吃点就完事了。 在如此锻炼着的时候，张铁真正把自己观想成了一块烧红的需要捶打锻炼的铁胎。 每一次的自我捶打和撞击，居然都给他带去许多的快乐。 有时候，只要人的心态改变，艰苦和枯燥的修炼也可以变得充满乐趣。 这个修炼过程，对张铁来说。 其实就像是一个人在玩一种特别的游戏。 就在这样的坚持之下，在四天前。 张铁身体恢复后的第一颗铁胎果成熟，被张铁吃下肚中，似乎是苦尽甘来，后面吃下的铁胎果，没有再让张铁拉肚子，而是变成一丝丝感觉有些冰寒的能量开始从内到外往张铁的皮肤和肌肉中渗透，而在后面这两天，当张铁一个人在不断拍打和撞击着自己身体的时候，张铁已经有了一些与以往不同的感觉，张铁觉得一丝丝让人舒服的热气和能量，就在不断的拍打和撞击之中，开始和自己的身体的皮肤和肌肉彻底的融合在一起。 伤愈后的第二颗铁胎果昨天的成熟度以及达到了82%，在经过今天一天的锻炼之后，张铁估计着，那颗铁胎果绝对已经成熟了，而且今天除了这颗铁胎果以外，伤愈后的第一颗无漏果也应该成熟了，一想到晚上又有两颗果实可以下肚，张铁的心情就大好。 再点燃两个明点，就能晋升为五级的战兵，现在布拉佩没有战事，而且身体已经晋级成为初级恢复之躯，张铁就想着在最近一两个月内，完成这次升级。 虽然这次升级的困难程度是以往升级的两倍，但这次升级，对此刻的张铁来说同样的非常重要。 如果不出意外，张铁觉得自己的铁血暗劲在五级的时候将升级为铁血化劲，这对张铁本身的实力是一个巨大的提高，在化劲的催动下，无论是铁血神拳还是赤炼剑的威力，都将更上一层楼。 而除此之外，升到五级后，随着身体力量和潜能的进一步打开，张铁的飞矛攻击也将变得更加的可怕。 实际上在与不死兵团血战的那天晚上，张铁无意之中顺其自然的爆发已经让攻击的飞矛的速度超过了声音，达到了音击的效果，只不过张铁本人清楚，他此刻掌握的音技技能才刚刚过了那道音障的坎，音击的威力，还远远没有发挥出来，现在的飞矛音击的效果，还不够稳定，而只要等他到了五级，这些问题就都将不存在。 张铁回到契夫里村的时候，虽然已经入夜，但契夫里村却比平日还要热闹了不止10倍，明日啤酒节的狂欢在即，今天的契夫里村，许多人晚上都开始扎起了明天用的火把和花灯，而许多小孩在今天已经迫不及待的把扎好的火把和花灯点燃，拿着在村里玩耍，远远看上去，契夫里村一片通明，到处都是人们的欢声笑语。 这里的人们喜欢在过节的时候吃烤鹅，今夜的契夫里村许多家里已经浮动着烤鹅的香味，而说到烤鹅。 张铁这几天下来则有一个无奈的发现——在整个布拉佩，他其实还可以再放生几种动物，那就是布拉佩周围这些村庄里许多人家都养的鸡鸭和鹅这样的家禽，甚至放生这些动物也要不了多少钱，那点钱对现在的张铁来说完全可以承受，张铁心里其实非常的好奇，他想看看放生这些普通动物后那颗小树生长出来的救赎之果是什么样子的。 这个想法虽然很好，但张铁却没办法做这件事，放生蚯蚓还可以找到一个合理的理由，而放生这些鸡鸭。 他能有什么理由呢？ 虽然黑铁之堡里面似乎也可以放生。 不用担心放生后的那些动物被人再捉去，前些日子他也的确在不引人注意的情况下弄了一点蚯蚓进去，让蚯蚓成为继蜜蜂之后，第二个在黑铁之堡里面落脚的动物。 不过蚯蚓是蚯蚓，鸡鸭是鸡鸭。 这些家禽的体型和个头太大，在不引人注意的情况下弄个三只两只的进去还可以，数目一多了，想不引人注目都不可能，哪怕就算在汉娜家，自己隔三差五的拿着几只鸡鸭回到房中然后第二天那些鸡鸭就消失了。 张铁可不想成为众矢之的。 张铁回到汉娜家的时候，发现张铁回来的汉娜第一时间就把张铁拉到了家里的饭厅之中，让张铁意外的是，这个时候，汉娜家的所有人。 居然都在对着饭厅中间桌子上的一杯啤酒发着呆，汉娜家里的几个男人。 怎么汉娜一家人都盯着那杯啤酒，这是怎么回事？ 难道是契夫里村啤酒节前的什么传统仪式吗？ 张铁正要开口，却发现汉娜悄悄的和他示意了一下，于是他就把肚子里的话咽了回去。 良久之后，看着那杯啤酒的老哈里似乎抽冷气的感叹了一声，“已经超过六分钟了！” “这杯啤酒的泡沫还没有消散！” 汉娜的大哥双眼放光的说道。 “刚刚冲起来的泡沫绝对已经超过杯口三厘米以上！” 然后屋里的三个男人互相看了一眼，眼神之中已经有一股难以掩饰的兴奋和狂喜之意。 张铁则看得莫名其妙，在悄悄问了汉娜一声后，汉娜才告诉他，对布拉佩的这些嗜酒如命的男人们来说，几百年来，大家已经总结出一套鉴定啤酒的方法，除了喝之外，许多时候用眼睛也能判断，比如说这个啤酒的泡沫，许多布拉佩的人甚至不用喝，只需要用眼睛看看一杯啤酒的泡沫和色泽，就能判断出啤酒的好坏——顶级啤酒的泡沫标准是什么，冲到杯中的时候啤酒泡沫能溢高杯口三厘米以上，而且至少能保持四到五分钟的时间那些泡沫不消散。 在闻过气味，看过色泽，而且品尝过味道之后，这已经是鉴定一杯啤酒好坏的最后一道工序。 汉娜全家人都为此兴奋不已。 “卖相也是极品，刚才那杯喝得太快了，还没尝出味道来，我再试试确定一下……”汉娜的大哥舔了舔嘴唇，伸手就去拿桌上的那杯啤酒。 “混蛋，刚才你已经喝过一杯了！” 汉娜的老爸威严的打开汉娜大哥的手，自己伸手去拿。 “咳……咳……”老哈里咳嗽了两声，汉娜老爸的手就僵硬在了空中。 正当老哈里满脸笑容的要伸手去拿杯子的时候，汉娜却抢先一步，把桌上的那杯啤酒拿到了手中，然后端到张铁面前，老哈里尴尬的笑了笑，然后缩回了手。 “你试试看！” 汉娜满脸期待的看着张铁。 张铁拿过啤酒来，仔细看了看，光从色泽上看，这杯金潢色的啤酒似乎比起他以前喝过的啤酒看起来更剔透纯净，虽然是在夜晚的灯光之下，但啤酒拿在手上的时候，给张铁的感觉就是手上拿着一大块极品的黄水晶，在视觉上非常的有质感。 在啤酒放到嘴边的时候，一股啤酒独有的清香味一下子就让张铁动容起来，平心而论，张铁长这么大，真没有闻到过有什么啤酒会有这么好闻的味道。 那金黄的液体入口，细腻柔滑，畅爽清冽，似乎根本没有多少其他啤酒的那种苦味和涩味，反而有一种充满活力的感觉，似乎酿造啤酒的那些原料中所吸收的每一缕阳光和精华此刻都被释放出来变成了酒精一样。 只是浅浅的喝了一口，这啤酒就让人有一种继续喝下去的**。 的即使张铁不是品尝啤酒的专家，这一刻也非常清楚的知道，自己手上的啤酒，绝对是极品中的极品。 在屋里其他三个男人咽着口水的节奏中，张铁将手中的啤酒一饮而尽。 喝完啤酒后的张铁看向汉娜，眼神里有询问的意思，汉娜则轻轻的点了点头，张铁一下子就明白了。 这是汉娜酿的啤酒，用自己给他的酵母菌酿造的啤酒！ 张铁这一刻的震撼，真的是无以言表。 这还只是拥有原版元能灵气酵母菌三分之一特性的酵母菌酿造出来的啤酒，那要是用原版的酵母菌酿造出来的东西会有什么效果？ 张铁心中一动，这一刻，他才想起，自己在黑铁之堡里面用那些酵母菌酿制的东西按时间算来这几天也应该差不多可以喝了。 张铁的心咚咚咚的剧烈的跳了起来。 “难道是老天保佑，要让我们家的汉娜成为布拉佩的啤酒皇后吗？” 汉娜的妈妈这一刻居然激动得流出了眼泪。 “不对啊，汉娜以前酿造的啤酒根本不可能有这么好喝，这一次她还是像以前那样酿的，可为什么能酿造出这么特别的啤酒？” 汉娜的大哥疑惑的说道，“不行，我一定要再尝尝，再喝一杯，看看是不是我刚才的味觉出现了幻觉！” “谁都不准再动汉娜的那些啤酒！” 老哈里威严的扫视了一眼汉娜的大哥，一眼就看穿了汉娜大哥的阴谋，“在明天，那些啤酒将把整个布拉佩的男人征服，汉娜一定会成为布拉佩的啤酒皇后！” 说到这里，老哈里看了一眼张铁，脸上挤出了一个笑容，“今晚的事情你能不能帮汉娜暂时保密？” 张铁一下子觉得有点尴尬，正要离开，却被汉娜一把抓住，直爽的汉娜一下子就把困扰众人的谜底揭开了。 稍微楞了一下的汉娜的老爸一下子从桌子旁边跳了起来，他没有让张铁出去，而是飞快的冲到屋边，向门外张望了一下，发现屋外没有什么人，这才连忙把家门关起来。
Chapter 246: The Effect of the Mutated Yeast Translator: WQL Editor: DarkGem Zhang Tie came back a bit late tonight. In the past few days, once he was free at daytime, he would take a round in the neighboring villages and the wild for two purposes: first, to look for the animals raised in the neighboring farming households that could be set free and lead to the corresponding Fruit of Redemption; second, to cultivate by himself. On a huge, bald rock on top of a hill several kilometers away from Chevli village, Zhang Tie found a good place that was suitable for him to cultivate the "Bear Back Iron Body Skill". Over there, no matter how he would hit that rock using his back, that huge rock weighing several thousands tons would remain unchanged. This brought Zhang Tie another chance to strengthen his body and promote the growth of Iron-Body Fruit. Based on his current strength, if he practiced "Bear Back Iron Body Skill" against the wall of Hanna's house, once he exerted his full strength, he might collapse the wall. However, if he used less strength, he might not be able to achieve the ideal effect. That’s why he had to find a proper place to practice this skill. If he could not find a stout tree, he had to find a huge rock or a cliff that could stand his thousands of kgs' force. Zhang Tie guessed that one of the reasons why he wasn’t killed during that bloody fight with the undying army of the Sun Dynasty might also lie in the Iron-Body Fruit. Although he had not eaten too many Iron-Body Fruits, the effect of those he had eaten must have been utilised at the most critical moment and saved his life. Because of this, Zhang Tie started to pay more attention to the Iron-Body Fruits after his body fully recovered. Especially now that his body had mutated to a preliminary recovery body, Zhang Tie had super great wound recovery and healing capability which suggested much more special ideas about his future cultivation road. The effect of the Iron-Body Fruit reinforced his physical defense and anti-striking capability. If he could further exert this effect together with the effect of his preliminary recovery body, he would definitely have a greater chance to survive and be as robust as a cockroach which had a super strong vitality. Zhang Tie was actually very afraid of death, so after gaining the preliminary recovery body, he immediately became extremely concerned about the Iron-Body Fruit. That’s why these days, he definitely spent more time practicing "Bear Back Iron-Body Skill" than ever before. At daytime, he would ram his back against that huge rock. When he had to stop due to pain, he would forcefully pat his lower abdomen, chests, neck, thighs, and shins. After that, the pain on his back would have relieve somewhat and he would start to ram his back against the huge rock again. He kept doing that all day long. Even though it were lunch or supper time, he would hurriedly eat some dried rations before returning to his practice. Zhang Tie really regarded himself as a red iron plate that needed to be hammered. Each time he was hammered and rammed, he would enjoy great happiness. Sometimes, as long as one's mentality changed, arduous and boring cultivation could also be filled with pleasure. For Zhang Tie, this cultivation process was actually a special individual game. Since he constantly practiced like this, four days ago, the first Iron-Body Fruit after his complete recovery became mature. After eating it, Zhang Tie finally felt its sweet juices. It didn't make him suffer from diarrhea, just turned into a wisp of icy energy that penetrated into his skin and muscles from inside to the outside. In the following two days, when Zhang Tie constantly patted and rammed himself, he had a different feeling as he felt a wisp of comfortable, warm qi and energy that started to fuse with his skin and muscles. In the process of alternatively warm cultivation and eating icy fruits, Zhang Tie really felt like a hot, red iron plate being quenched after being hammered. After recovery, the second Iron-Body Fruit was 82% ripe yesterday. After today's practice, Zhang Tie estimated that it would have become completely ripe. Besides this Iron-Body Fruit, the first Leakless Fruit after recovery should also have ripened today. The moment he thought that he could engulf two fruits tonight, Zhang Tie became highly spirited. After igniting two more burning points, he would be able to be promoted to a LV 5 warrior. As Blapei was peaceful now, and he had gained a preliminary recovery body, Zhang Tie was thinking about completing this promotion in the next month or two. Although this promotion was twice as difficult as the one before, it was of great significance to Zhang Tie at this moment. If there was no emergency, he felt that his Iron-Blood hidden strength could be promoted to Iron-Blood invisible strength when he reached level 5. Controlled by the invisible strength, his Iron-Blood Fist and red-snake sword would be even more powerful. Additionally, when he reached level 5, his physical strength and potential would be further tapped, which meant that his javelin attacks would be more horrifying. Actually, on that night when he fought with the undying army of the Sun Dynasty, the speed of the javelin that Zhang Tie had freely thrown had already reached the speed of sound. However, Zhang Tie clearly knew that the sonic boom skill that he could grasp had just passed the sound barrier. He could not fully play the role of the sonic boom yet as the effect of his sonic boom was not stable yet. But when he reached level 5, none of the above problems would exist. Perhaps by then, the javelins could fully exert their power in Zhang Tie's hand. ... When Zhang Tie came back to Chevli, it was already night. However, the village was ten times more boisterous than usual. As the beer carnival was tomorrow, many people in Chevli village had started to make torches and festival lanterns. Additionally, many kids couldn't wait to ignite the torches and the festival lanterns and played with them. Looking from afar, the Chevli village was brightly lit and filled with people's laughter and joyful words. People here enjoyed eating roasted gooses in festivals. Tonight, from many houses in Chevli village drifted the aroma of roasted gooses. Speaking of them, Zhang Tie had made a new discovery these days—in Blapei, actually, he could set free some more animals, namely those chickens, ducks, and gooses that were raised in many houses in the villages neighboring Blapei. It wouldn’t even cost him too much money to set free those animals. To tell the truth, Zhang Tie was really curious what would the Fruit of Redemption look like after he set free those average livestocks. Although this idea was very good, Zhang Tie couldn't find any proper reason to do this. He was afraid that the moment he set those livestocks in the wild, they would be caught back by others. It wouldn’t work at all. Although he could set them free in the Castle of Black Iron, where he didn't need to worry about them being caught back by others, it wasn’t exactly the beset solution. He had brought some earthworms inside the Castle of Black Iron several days ago and made earthworms the second animal that settled ithere after the bees, but the livestock were much bigger than earthworms. It would work if he brought a couple of into the Castle of Black Iron, but it would be too eye-catching if he brought too many of them inside. Additionally, since he was living in Hanna's home, if he often brought chickens and ducks back in to his room which would then disappear the next day, leaving nothing at all, how could he explain that to them. Even an idiot would notice something wrong. Of course, Zhang Tie didn't want to be the target of the public. When he returned to Hanna's home, Hanna instantly pulled him back into the dining room. What made him surprised was that all of Hanna's family members were staring at a glass of beer on the table in the middle of the dining room. Old Harley, Hanna's dad, and Hanna's elder brother were piously gazing at that glass of beer on the table without even blinking. Hanna's mom and elder sister-in-law also were pretty nervous. 'Why are they staring at that glass of beer? What's happening? Is it a traditional ceremony that is going to be held before the beer festival?' But before Zhang Tie could open his mouth, he saw Hanna silently glance at him, and so he swallowed his words back. After a long while, old Harley who was staring at that glass of beer let out a sigh. "Already six minutes!" "The bubbles are still there!" Hanna's elder brother said, his eyes shining bright. "The bubbles in the beginning definitely reached over three centimeters!" Hanna's dad added in an obviously trembling voice. After that, the three men exchanged glances with evident uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy. Zhang Tie saw nothing special. After silently asking Hanna what was happening, she told him that for men who treated beer as their lives in Blapei, during the past hundreds of years, they had already concluded a series of methods to appraise the quality of beer. Besides tasting it, they could also judge it with their eyes. Take the bubbles of the beer for an instance, many people could judge the quality only by the bubbles and luster—the standard of top-class beer was that the bubbles could rise three centimeters above the mouth of the glass and remain unchanged for at least four-five minutes. After smelling its odor, checking its luster and tasting it, its lasting time was the final procedure to appraise its quality. The result was super excellent like the other aspects, so all Hanna's family members became really excited by that. ... "It looks perfect too. I drunk too fast just now and failed to appraise it's real taste. I will try it again..." Licking his lips, Hanna's elder brother stretched out his hand to take that glass of beer on the table. "Bastard, you've drunk one glass before!" Hanna's dad pushed away the reaching hand of Hanna's elder brother with a cold expression while stretching his own hand towards that glass of beer. "Cough...cough..." Old Harley coughed twice. Hearing that, Hanna's dad's hand froze in the air. When old Harley was about to take that glass with a big smile, Hanna took the initiative and picked that glass of beer from the table. She then brought it in front of Zhang Tie. Old Harley gave an embarrassed smile as he drew back his hand. "Try it!" Hanna stared at Zhang Tie, full of expectations. Zhang Tie held the glass and took a careful look. Given its luster, the glass of beer seemed to be more translucent and pure than those he had drunk before. Although it was under the lamp light in the evening, holding the glass, Zhang Tie felt like holding a big piece of excellent yellow crystal which had a very strong texture visually. When he moved the beer close to his mouth, a unique fragrance brought a sense of liveliness. To tell the truth, Zhang Tie had not smelt such a good odor from beer ever since he was born. The moment the golden liquid entered his mouth, it tasted both fine, smooth, and refreshing, seeming not to have that bitterness and astringency of other beer. Instead, it was fully energetic. It seemed like every wisp of sunlight's essence had been absorbed by the raw materials that then were turned into alcohol. With just a sip, Zhang Tie had become addicted to it. Although he was not an expert in tasting beer, he clearly knew that the beer in his hand was definitely the most excellent one. While the other three men in the room were forcefully swallowing their saliva, Zhang Tie bottomed that glass of beer. After that, he glanced at Hanna with an expression of inquiry. Hanna slightly nodded. Zhang Tie then understood it at once. This beer was brewed by Hanna using the mutated yeast that he had given to her! At this moment Zhang Tie was so shocked that he became speechless. This beer was brewed with the yeast that only contained one third of the properties of the original basic aura yeast. What if the original basic aura yeast was used? Zhang Tie's heart pounded as he suddenly remembered that what he had brewed in the Castle of Black Iron with those mutated yeast could be drinkable too. His heart raced fiercely. "Does the God bless our Hanna to be be this year's Beer Queen?" "It cannot be that. The beer that Hanna brewed before had not been this tasty. Since she brewed it like always, how could she make such special beer?" Hanna's elder brother became dubious. "No way, I will try another glass to check whether it was an illusion just now!" "Nobody is allowed to taste Hanna's beer any more!" Old Harley solemnly glanced at Hanna's elder brother as he had immediately seen through his plot. "Tomorrow, the beer will conquer every man in Blapei; Hanna will definitely be the Beer Queen of Blapei!" Saying this, old Harley glanced at Zhang Tie and forced a smile. "Can you temporarily keep the secret of what happened tonight for Hanna?" Zhang Tie nodded. "You know, we've got one more thing to negotiate at home..." Zhang Tie felt embarrassed at once. The moment he was going to leave, his arm was grabbed by Hanna. Being straightforward, she directly revealed the secret to the other family members. After being slightly stunned, Hanna' dad instantly sprung up from beside the table. He didn't let Zhang Tie leave, instead, he rushed outside and looked around. After finding no people there, he hurriedly closed the door.

Senior White, I’ll go take a look as well.”\nAfterward, he used the ‘Aura Concealing’ method that Su Clan’s Sixteen taught him earlier and completely suppressed his aura.\nUnder these circumstances, Song Shuhang wouldn’t get discovered even if the opposite party was that demodragon of the Sixth Stage rank.\nVenerable White placed his teacup down and slightly bent his fingers. In the next moment, Meteor Sword turned into a streak of dark light and chased after Song Shuhang, protecting him in secret.\nThen, Venerable White grabbed the teacup again and sipped some tea.\nAt this time, a dumbfounded expression had appeared on the face of the nearby Qing Wu, who was still planted in that crude flower pot.\nQing Wu had completely given up on the idea of running away today. Since after she was planted in the flower pot, she couldn’t pull her roots out no matter how hard she tried.\nAnyway, she remembered something when Venerable White and Song Shuhang were drinking tea earlier.\nThe reason she came to China from the Netherworld Realm was the duty Cave Lord Dragon gave her. Cave Lord Dragon gave her some information about the aura of a small cultivator of the Third Stage, and her duty was to lock onto the position of this small cultivator through his aura. Unfortunately, she got captured before she could even start her mission…\nBut a while ago, when she sensed the aura of this young man called ‘Song Shuhang’ sitting next to Venerable White, she found it extremely familiar!\nBefore its death, Cave Lord Dragon had reached an agreement with several other cave lords of the Mountain of Next Life. They planned to lock onto the position of this person named Song Shuhang and put him to death. While at it, they would kill some of the human cultivators protecting the boy and bring the others back with them to the Netherworld, turning them into sex slaves.\nEarlier, she felt that Cave Lord Dragon had died in a very tragic manner, nailed to death by Venerable White’s flying sword before it could even step out of the Netherworld Realm.\nBut from the looks of it, even if Cave Lord Dragon hadn’t died back then, the only thing that would have awaited him and the other cave lords coming along was… death!\nAs if that wasn’t enough, she discovered from the conversation just now that this boy called ‘Song Shuhang’ was working with another powerful human cultivator to set up an inescapable net full of traps to catch some prey.\nNeedless to say, this prey they were talking about was surely Cave Lord Dragon and the other cave lords of the Mountain of Next Life.\nIt was a terrible situation!\nA moment ago, that boy and the human cultivator named ‘Scholar Xian Gong’ sensed someone approaching their traps. Was it possible that the other cave lords of the Mountain of Next Life had come?\nNot good! I have to inform the other cave lords that this is a trap and that there is a powerhouse of the Venerable rank here ready to enter into action!\nIf the other cave lords follow Cave Lord Dragon’s original plan and come here to make a surprise attack, it’s very likely that they will be the ones dying!\nBut how should I inform the other cave lords?\nHow? How can I do it?\nWith the powerful ‘Venerable White’ next to her, there was no way she could easily pass them this information!\nQing Wu was extremely anxious.\n“Is something weighing on your mind?” Right at this time, Venerable White’s voice echoed in Qing Wu’s ears.\nThe monster willow Qing Wu immediately denied, “No, there is absolutely nothing weighing on my mind!”\nVenerable White smiled and sipped some tea. “Just now, you got very agitated after sensing little friend Song Shuhang’s aura. Don’t try to deny it. I personally manufactured this flower pot where your root is currently planted. Therefore, the fluctuations of your mood can’t escape my senses.”\nThat was hateful. Didn’t it mean that she didn’t have any privacy now?\nVenerable White faintly smiled and said, “Such being the case, can I assume that you were looking for little friend Song Shuhang for some reason?”\n“Ahaha! How can that be! I’ve never seen this little friend Song Shuhang before!” Qing Wu replied.\nVenerable White glanced at the monster willow and continued, “In addition, when Fellow Daoist Xian Gong said that someone was closing in on their traps, your mood fluctuated even more fiercely. The formations Fellow Daoist Xian Gong set up amplified little friend Song Shuhang’s aura, using it as bait. Although I don’t know what little friend Shuhang experienced during the past several days, I’m pretty sure that some guy or influence is currently plotting against him. After that, Scholar Xian Gong somehow reached an agreement with little friend Song Shuhang, and the duo started to arrange these formations in the hope of luring in the people looking for little friend Shuhang.”\nQing Wu’s face whitened.\n“Do I need to continue?” Venerable White blew the steam off the teacup and smiled.\n“I-I…” Qing Wu stuttered for a while, not knowing what to say. The opposite party had guessed everything correctly!\n“Hehe…” Venerable White laughed gently.\nNext, he glanced at the petrified demodragon in his spatial equipment.\nHe had already guessed that this was the prey that little friend Song Shuhang and Scholar Xian Gong were looking for!\nSince both of them were pretty worried about their mental energy, the logical choice would be to get their hands on a demodragon and refine some demodragon medicine out of it!\nBut here came the problem.\nShould he hand over the demodragon to Song Shuhang and Scholar Xian Gong immediately?\nHmm… perhaps it was better to wait some more.\nAfter all, little friend Shuhang said that it was a secret! Therefore, Venerable White decided to keep little friend Shuhang’s secret. After guessing the secret of a junior, a good senior should be polite and not reveal it.\nTherefore, it was better to let little friend Shuhang maintain this secret for the time being.\n“I’ll wait until the end of the shooting,” Venerable White muttered to himself.\nOnce they were done shooting the movie, he would hand over the corpse of the demodragon to little friend Song Shuhang and Fellow Daoist Xian Gong as payment for making the movie.\nAt that time, both little friend Song Shuhang and Fellow Daoist Xian Gong would be delighted, right?\nVenerable White felt that he would feel a great sense of achievement if he could make them happy.\nAfter thinking up to this point, Venerable White said again to the monster tree, “Cave Lord Dragon is already dead, and you are my prisoner. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the Cave Lord or its helpers anymore. In addition, I’ll keep you with me day and night from now on. If you behave well… I’ll break only ten of your branches each month to make flying swords. Well, it’s decided then.”\nQing Wu was speechless. Decided? Who even agreed with you?! Aaaaah!\n❄️❄️❄️ In the meantime, outside Scholar Xian Gong’s trap.\nThe seven sea urchin warriors launched their attack. Although there were only seven of them, their imposing manner was comparable to that of thousands of troops!\nThe sea urchin warrior in the lead growled, “I can feel it! That aura dyed with the blood of our companions is right ahead! Follow me and let’s kill that— what?!”\n“Bang!”\n“Team leader, team leader! That’s bad, the team leader fell into a trap! That guy is truly despicable; he even set a trap here!”\n“Don’t mind me. You guys go ahead and kill him. Since he set a trap here, it means that the opposite party is vigilant. Take advantage of the fact that he hasn’t discovered us yet to kill him! This trap is very powerful, but it’s not even enough to stop me. I’ll surely get out of it…”\nThe team leader didn’t make any other sound after saying these words. It was unknown whether he was dead or only unconscious.\n“That’s bad, the vice-team leader also fell into a trap! That despicable guy set more than one trap!”\n“Don’t mind me. You guys go ahead and kill him!” the vice-team leader said gravely.\n“Kill, kill, kill! This guy that dared to set traps against the sea urchin warriors will die in our hands!”\nIn a distant place, the corner of Scholar Xian Gong’s mouth twitched as he gazed at the seven black-clothed figures below.\nScholar Xian Gong said, “Little friend Shuhang, do you know these guys?”\nHad these guys come over for some comic relief?\nTheir bodies weren’t contaminated with the filthy aura of the Netherworld. Therefore, they weren’t demons that had come over from the Netherworld Realm. On the contrary, the aura emanating from their body belonged to some sea monster race. Was it possible that they were half-monsters?\n“If I’m not mistaken, these guys should be the ‘sea urchin warriors’,” Song Shuhang ascertained and said, “These guys aren’t our target this time. However, they probably came here after following my aura. Before the start of the hand-guided tractor competition, when the Chu Family was still fighting on the Grievance Settling Platform, I happened to kill several of these sea urchin warriors. After that, they left something akin to a ‘Mark of the Sea Urchin Slayer’ on my body. Thanks to it, all the sea urchin warriors in the world will get into action to kill me as soon as they sense my aura.”\nScholar Xian Gong held his chin and glanced at Song Shuhang. “Little friend Shuhang is really unlucky to have this kind of enemy.”\n“It’s indeed a fearsome race,” Song Shuhang said.\nShuhang still remembered the poisonous urchin warrior, Sui Qianjun.\nSui Qianjun’s notes on the ❮Sea Urchin Warriors’ 20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯ had left a deep impression on him.\n‘You’re dead! You unexpectedly dared to kill another sea urchin warrior! … (short pause) … Remember my name, I’m the glorious poisonous urchin warrior Sui Qianjun! This name will appear in the nightmares you’ll have every night! Note: remember to laugh at this point: ahahaha, ahahahaha.’\nIt was a fearsome and studious race that had 20 years of mandatory education.\n“However, an interesting fellow is hiding amongst these sea urchin warriors,” Scholar Xian Gong said as he glanced at one of the sea urchin warriors charging forward." } ]
第658章 白尊者笑着望着宋书航：“是你和献公道友的猎物来了吗？” 昨天献公居士和宋书航神神秘秘的在娇娇的别墅外，挖了许多的阵法和陷阱，自然是有想要捕捉的猎物。 而且……白尊者还知道，就在接近凌晨的时候，鱼娇娇别墅的四周有好几道强大的气息出现，他们纷纷隐藏在别墅四周的陷阱边上。 这也是白尊者三更半夜来到屋顶上喝茶的原因，一开始尊者无法确定这些强大气息是友是敌。 不过现在，他已经可以猜到，这些强者应该都是献公居士请来的帮手。 看样子，献公道友对猎物是势在必得啊。 宋书航放下茶杯：“我也不确定是不是猎物到了，白前辈，我悄悄的去看看。” 随后，他使用了苏氏阿十六教导他的【隐藏自身气息】的方法，将身上的气息全部收敛。 然后，宋书航身形掠起，迅速朝着献公居士掠走的位置去了。 白尊者放下茶杯，屈指一点，佩剑流星剑化为一道光影，追着宋书航而去。 暗中守护书航的安全。 接着白尊者继续端起茶杯，微微吹了口气。 在白尊者的身边，那个简易的花盆中——树妖轻舞一脸懵逼。 柳树妖今天对‘逃跑’已经彻底死心了，自从她被种在这个花盆中后，根就死死的扎在了这盆里，无法拔出来。 刚才，白尊者和宋书航一同喝茶时，柳树妖突然想起了一件事情。 这少年郎的气息，不就是龙洞主给她的那个‘三品小修士气息’吗？ 龙洞主生前还约了好多‘来生山’的洞主，准备准备锁定这个叫‘宋书航’的少年郎，将他弄死。 然后顺便将保护少年的人类修士杀一批，再带一批回九幽当双修的鼎炉。 柳树妖顿时感觉眼睛有些湿湿的。 之前她还感觉龙洞主死的好惨，还没踏出九幽，就被这位‘白尊者’一飞剑钉死了。 现在看来，就算白尊者没有一飞剑钉死龙洞主，等龙洞主带着大批的洞主杀过来时，还是一个字——死！ 而且，刚才她还听到了，那个叫‘宋书航’的少年郎，配合着强大的人类修士布下了天罗地网，各种陷阱等着猎物上门。 不用说，这猎物就是龙洞主和来生山的其他洞主。 不好！ 刚才那少年和另一个叫‘献公居士’的人类修士，察觉到了陷阱有变化——难道是来生山的其他洞主已经行动了？ 不行！ 我得想办法通知其它洞主，这里有大陷阱，还有强大的尊者级人物坐镇。 其它洞主若是按着龙洞主的原计划，杀过来突袭的话，就不妙了啊。 但是，她要怎么通知洞主？ 怎么办，怎么办？ 身边有这个强大的‘白尊者’在，她根本无法将情报顺利的传递出去啊。 柳树妖焦急万分。 这时，白尊者的声音突然在柳树妖轻舞的耳边响起。 柳树妖轻舞一口否定道：“没有，我没有什么心事。” 白尊者微笑着抿了口茶：“刚才，你在感应宋书航小友身上的气息。 然后，你变的很激动。 ——可恶，这样一来，她不就一点隐私都没有了吗？ “所以，我是不是可以认为，因为某种原因，你在寻找宋书航小友？” 白尊者继续微笑道。 轻舞：“哈哈哈，怎么可能呢。 我从来就没有见过这位宋书航小友啊。” 白尊者眸子掠了眼柳树妖，继续道：“还有，刚才献公道友说有人接近他的陷阱时，你的情绪波动就变的更加强烈了。 献公道友的阵法，是扩大宋书航小友的气息作为诱饵……虽然不知道书航小友这几天经历了什么，但有一点可以肯定，有一些家伙或是某个势力，正在寻找书航小友，图谋不轨。 柳树妖的脸色都苍白起来。 “还需要我继续讲下去吗？” 白尊者吹着茶杯中的热气，呵呵笑道。 “我，我。” 轻舞结结巴巴了半天——还讲个啥啊，都被人家猜透了啊。 “呵呵呵呵。” 白尊者轻笑。 接着，尊者望向自己空间装备中化为琥珀状的‘龙魔’。 嗯，他已经可以猜到，宋书航小友和献公居士的目标，就是这个了！ 因为献公居士和宋书航小友，现在有一个共同的特征。 两人都是精神力过于庞大，体质却跟不上精神力。 所以，现在问题来了。 他要不要将龙魔交给宋书航和献公居士呢？ 嗯……还是等等吧。 所以，白尊者决定给书航小友一些个人隐私——身为一个好前辈，在猜到了后辈的个人秘密后，还是有礼貌的替后辈保密比较好。 所以，暂时就让书航小友继续保秘吧。 “等电影拍完吧。” 白尊者道。 等电影拍好后，他可以将这具‘龙魔’的尸体，当成是片酬给宋书航小友和献公道友的。 到时候，宋书航小友和献公道友一定会很开心吧？ 想到这里，白尊者又对树妖道：“现在，你的龙洞主已经死了。 现在的你是我的俘虏，就不用再替你的龙洞主和它的帮手操心了。 而且，接下来我会日夜将你带在身边。 如果你乖乖听话的话……我以后每个月最多折你十根树枝制作飞剑，就这样约好了。” 约好了，约好了，谁和你约好了啊！ 心好累，作为一只柳树妖，她感觉好累。 另一边，献公居士的阵法陷阱处。 七个海胆战士发起了冲锋。 就算只有七人，但它们的气势强大如千军万马。 为首的海胆战士低喝道：“感觉到了，那个染着我们族人鲜血的家伙就在前面！ “队长，队长！ 不好了，队长踩到陷阱了。 卑鄙的家伙，竟然在这里设陷阱！” 趁着对方没反应过来之前，快点将他干掉！ 这个陷阱好厉害，但困不住我，我一定能出去的。” 但话才刚说完，队长就没响动了。 也不知道是死了，还是晕了。 片刻后。 “不好，副队长也掉陷阱里去了，卑鄙的家伙，竟然是连环陷阱。” “不用管我，你们杀上去！” 副队长沉声道。 “杀杀杀，敢陷阱我们海胆战士的家伙，注定要死在我们海胆战士的手中！” 远处，献公居士嘴角抽搐，望着下方的七个黑衣大汉。 献公居士：“书航小友，这些家伙你认识吗？” 这些家伙是来搞笑的吗？ 不过，他们应该也是顺着我的气息来的。 上次手扶拖拉机大赛之前，我在楚家断仙台之战时，杀了几个海胆战士。 然后身上似乎被烙下了‘屠海胆者印记’，应该是这种印记的玩意儿，导致全世界的海胆战士若是发觉我的气息，就会杀过来。” 献公居士捏着下巴望了眼书航：“书航小友，有这种敌人，真是辛苦了。” “这是个可怕的种族。” 宋书航道。 他想起了曾经的那只毒胆战士，碎千军。 他对碎千军的《海胆战士二十年义务教育教科书》上的备注印象深刻。 ［你死定了！ 竟然又杀了个海胆战士……（中间略）……记住我的名字‘英勇的毒胆战士碎千军’，这个名字，将每天每夜出现在你的噩梦之中！ 注：此处当有笑声：哈哈，哈哈哈，哈哈哈哈。 一个刻苦学习的种族，一个有二十年义务教育的种族，可怕的种族。 “不过，这些海胆战士中，隐藏着一个有趣的家伙呢。” 献公居士目光盯着还在冲锋的一只海胆战士。
Chapter 658 - Detective White Kurisu Venerable White smiled and glanced at Song Shuhang. “Has your and Fellow Daoist Xian Gong’s prey finally arrived?” Yesterday, Scholar Xian Gong and Song Shuhang secretly arranged several traps and formations outside Yu Jiaojiao’s villa. It was quite obvious that they were trying to catch someone. In addition, Venerable White sensed several powerful auras appearing one after another in the proximity of Yu Jiaojiao’s villa around midnight. Afterward, these people concealed themselves, hiding next to the traps. It was also the main reason Venerable White was sitting on the roof of the house so late at night. He had no idea if these people were friends or foes. But now, he had determined that these people were probably helpers that Scholar Xian Gong had invited over. From the looks of it, Fellow Daoist Xian Gong wanted to catch this prey of his at all costs! Song Shuhang placed his teacup on the table and said, “I have no idea if it’s the prey we are looking for. Senior White, I’ll go take a look as well.” Afterward, he used the ‘Aura Concealing’ method that Su Clan’s Sixteen taught him earlier and completely suppressed his aura. Under these circumstances, Song Shuhang wouldn’t get discovered even if the opposite party was that demodragon of the Sixth Stage rank. Venerable White placed his teacup down and slightly bent his fingers. In the next moment, Meteor Sword turned into a streak of dark light and chased after Song Shuhang, protecting him in secret. Then, Venerable White grabbed the teacup again and sipped some tea. At this time, a dumbfounded expression had appeared on the face of the nearby Qing Wu, who was still planted in that crude flower pot. Qing Wu had completely given up on the idea of running away today. Since after she was planted in the flower pot, she couldn’t pull her roots out no matter how hard she tried. Anyway, she remembered something when Venerable White and Song Shuhang were drinking tea earlier. The reason she came to China from the Netherworld Realm was the duty Cave Lord Dragon gave her.

They planned to lock onto the position of this person named Song Shuhang and put him to death. While at it, they would kill some of the human cultivators protecting the boy and bring the others back with them to the Netherworld, turning them into sex slaves. Earlier, she felt that Cave Lord Dragon had died in a very tragic manner, nailed to death by Venerable White’s flying sword before it could even step out of the Netherworld Realm. But from the looks of it, even if Cave Lord Dragon hadn’t died back then, the only thing that would have awaited him and the other cave lords coming along was… death! As if that wasn’t enough, she discovered from the conversation just now that this boy called ‘Song Shuhang’ was working with another powerful human cultivator to set up an inescapable net full of traps to catch some prey. Needless to say, this prey they were talking about was surely Cave Lord Dragon and the other cave lords of the Mountain of Next Life. It was a terrible situation! A moment ago, that boy and the human cultivator named ‘Scholar Xian Gong’ sensed someone approaching their traps. Was it possible that the other cave lords of the Mountain of Next Life had come?

But how should I inform the other cave lords? How? How can I do it? With the powerful ‘Venerable White’ next to her, there was no way she could easily pass them this information! Qing Wu was extremely anxious. “Is something weighing on your mind?” Right at this time, Venerable White’s voice echoed in Qing Wu’s ears. The monster willow Qing Wu immediately denied, “No, there is absolutely nothing weighing on my mind!” Venerable White smiled and sipped some tea. “Just now, you got very agitated after sensing little friend Song Shuhang’s aura. Don’t try to deny it. I personally manufactured this flower pot where your root is currently planted. Therefore, the fluctuations of your mood can’t escape my senses.” That was hateful.

He had already guessed that this was the prey that little friend Song Shuhang and Scholar Xian Gong were looking for! Since both of them were pretty worried about their mental energy, the logical choice would be to get their hands on a demodragon and refine some demodragon medicine out of it! But here came the problem. Should he hand over the demodragon to Song Shuhang and Scholar Xian Gong immediately? Hmm… perhaps it was better to wait some more. After all, little friend Shuhang said that it was a secret! Therefore, Venerable White decided to keep little friend Shuhang’s secret. After guessing the secret of a junior, a good senior should be polite and not reveal it. Therefore, it was better to let little friend Shuhang maintain this secret for the time being. “I’ll wait until the end of the shooting,” Venerable White muttered to himself. Once they were done shooting the movie, he would hand over the corpse of the demodragon to little friend Song Shuhang and Fellow Daoist Xian Gong as payment for making the movie. At that time, both little friend Song Shuhang and Fellow Daoist Xian Gong would be delighted, right? Venerable White felt that he would feel a great sense of achievement if he could make them happy. After thinking up to this point, Venerable White said again to the monster tree, “Cave Lord Dragon is already dead, and you are my prisoner. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the Cave Lord or its helpers anymore. In addition, I’ll keep you with me day and night from now on.

Some things could not be bought on the Internet, so he went to the market to buy certain materials.

Jiang Liushi added 500 yuan to get them, gnashing his teeth. Before leaving, he shook his head as he saw the boss rubbing his fingers carefully while counting the money. It was obvious that the boss just wanted to sell at a higher price. Although he was very happy for the 500 yuan, a week later, he would find out that money would mean nothing.\nIt took him three days to get all the materials, and the whole minibus was filled with them.

He was only curious to sit in the driver's seat for a while. He got up from the driver’s seat and realized that the materials had actually disappeared from the car.

Jiang Liushi did not go to the university, as learning was useless when the world's end was approaching.\nNow that the minibus was being refitted, Jiang Liushi kept calling his sister, and he searched on the Internet about common knowledge which included field survival, simple first-aid knowledge, medical knowledge as well as the surrounding terrain, how to read maps and so on.\nJiang Liushi also specifically downloaded the national map to his PC. It made sure the map could be used even without network. It almost marked all the points, from small shops to a variety of manufacturers, from the national road to some rural roads.

Before this, not many people knew that the academy's Earth rank goddess had already walked so intimately with Wan Yuan.\nBy bringing Liu Ruoshui here, Wan Yuan wanted to humiliate Ye Yuan by letting him see the woman he dreamed of was already walking together with his rival.\nHe was looking forward to Ye Yuan's expressions of resentment, shame, as well as regret. But Ye Yuan's reaction disappointed him, as not one of these expressions appeared on Ye Yuan's face.\nFrom the start till the end, Ye Yuan never even looked at Liu Ruoshui, treating her like air. And it was precisely being ignored by Ye Yuan that angered Liu Ruoshui, making her words just now so venomous.\nLiu Ruoshui was rather confident in her appearance. In her opinion, Ye Yuan should be groveling right now, begging her in tears not to go.\nIf it was his predecessor, he might really have lost all control and did just that. But sadly, the Ye Yuan now was no longer the Ye Yuan of the past. With Ye Yuan's status in his previous life, what kind of beauty he had not seen before? It was impossible to try to use such a cheap tactic to seduce him.\nYe Yuan gave Liu Ruoshui an emotionless glance and said, \"A swan? Aren't you overthinking things? At best, you are a defeathered chicken. How can you be compared with a noble animal such as a swan? How can a true proud daughter of heaven spare any thoughts to seduce men? When have you seen Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flirt with other men? Goddesses all have their own pride and wouldn't be the way you are.\"\nLiu Ruoshui was a prideful person. In the Dan Wu Academy, she was always an existence surrounded by a group of admirers. When had anyone ever compared her to a defeathered chicken?\nLiu Ruoshui was so angry that her willowy eyebrows were almost vertical. Yet, she could not refute it, because the Senior Apprentice Sister Feng mentioned by Ye Yuan was indeed an existence far beyond her reach.\nSenior Apprentice Sister Feng was called Feng Zhiruo, a true proud daughter of heaven within the Dan Wu Academy. Not only was she a beauty who could cause the downfall of countries, but she was also among the top three in both Alchemy Roll of Honor and Martial Roll of Honor with strength not at all inferior to Long Tang. She was a person that a woman like Liu Ruoshui could not compare to.\nFeng Zhiruo never bothered with pursuers, something different from Liu Ruoshui. She was a famous ice beauty in the Dan Wu Academy.\nIn comparison, Liu Ruoshui was much more popular because she did not reject her pursuers. So she appeared very warm. Also, she extremely relished the feeling of being sought after by everyone.\n\"Hmph! How stubborn! I will let Fei Qingping take good care of you during the deathmatch!\" In Liu Ruoshui's opinion, it was not that Ye Yuan was not willing to look at her, but it was because he was forcefully controlling himself after finding out the truth.\n\"Hahaha. Then there is no need for you to worry. Did the two of you come to find me just to say this? Since you are done, I won't entertain you anymore.\"\nAfter saying these words, Ye Yuan directly walked passed them.\n\"Who permitted you to leave?\" Wan Yuan's face fell, and he made a move to grab Ye Yuan. But who would have thought he only grabbed the air, not even touching the corner of Ye Yuan's sleeve.\nLooking at Ye Yuan again, he was already several meters away. He even waved to the two of them with his back facing them and strutted away, angering Wan Yuan until his face turned green.\n\"Hiss . . . Was that . . . Instant Flash?\" Wan Yuan frowned and asked.\n\"That's right. It was indeed Instant Flash.\" Liu Ruoshui lightly furrowed her brows. Clearly, she was also stunned by Ye Yuan's move.\n\"Looks like there is really something odd about this punk. Father clearly arranged for an assassin, yet Ye Yuan simply swaggered into the academy. I don't know whether that assassin was too stupid, or was that punk really pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger.\"\n\"In my opinion, it is likely the former. He is only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. No matter how powerful his Instant Flash is, most likely he will not be able to escape from that assassin, right?\" Liu Ruoshui interacted quite a bit with Ye Yuan before, so she had some understanding of him. In her eyes, Ye Yuan was just a useless person.\nWan Yuan had always been competing with Ye Yuan since they were young. So he understood Ye Yuan the best. After thinking about it, Liu Ruoshui's words still made more sense. \"Senior Apprentice Brother Wan is panicking because of concern. From the way I see it, Ye Yuan only learned Instant Flash by a fluke. The only move he can rely on is most likely just this. Otherwise, why would he be rushing to the Scripture Library at this time? Just now, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan was only careless and didn't use your full strength. That's why he could get away. Even though Instant Flash is impressive, it is ultimately only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique and isn't invincible.\" Liu Ruoshui had already recovered from her astonishment and returned to being a soul-mesmerizing goddess.\nWan Yuan had long lusted after Liu Ruoshui. Seeing Liu Ruoshui chased after him like this made him drunk with pleasure. Just now, he indeed had not used his full strength. It was about 70% power, yet Ye Yuan still managed to dodge it.\nHowever, strength was still the key to victory. Movement techniques were ultimately auxiliary. What Liu Ruoshui said was right. Instant Flash is not all-powerful. Naturally, some techniques could counter it.\nExcept that this move from Ye Yuan raised Wan Yuan's alert. He would have to go back and properly warn Fei Qingping to not underestimate his opponent.\n\"Looks like Junior Apprentice Sister Liu's heart is as clear as a mirror. This time around, no matter what, we can't let this brat live on anymore. Looks like we have to go back and prepare a few hidden cards for Fei Qingping.\"\nAfter Ye Yuan shook those two off, he went directly to the Scripture Library.\nAs far as he was concerned, Ye Yuan did not mind revealing Instant Flash. That was not what he was relying on anyway. Furthermore, what he just displayed was only at the great success stage.\nYe Yuan's greatest reliance was naturally on the Absolute Yang Finger. But this technique could not be displayed in front of outsiders, or else he would get into a lot of trouble. Hence, he came to the Scripture Library in order to choose a martial technique.\nThe martial techniques in the Scripture Library were not too profound. The Tranquil Cloud Sect naturally would not release profound martial techniques out into the secular world. But to Ye Yuan, these martial techniques were sufficient.\n\"Senior Apprentice Brother, I would like to enter the Scripture Library to choose two martial techniques,\" Ye Yuan requested and handed over his identity token to the Senior Apprentice Brother on duty.\nThe Senior Apprentice Brother who was guarding the Scripture Library was Zhao Chunyang of the Earth Rank. When he saw the token with the symbol indicating Yellow Rank status, disdain could be seen from his eyes.\nThe identity token was created by the Dan Wu Academy which represented one's status as a student. As long as one inserted a bit of essence energy, one would be able to check the identity of the person the token belongs to.\n\"Ye Yuan?\" Zhao Chunyang seemed to feel that he heard that name somewhere before. After pondering a while, he came to a sudden realization and asked, \"You are the academy's last place, Ye Yuan?\"\nYe Yuan smiled and replied, \"If there isn't a second Ye Yuan, then that would be me.\"\nYe Yuan was not bothered by the title of the last place as that was all in the past.\nHearing this, Zhao Chunyang became interested. Handing the token back to Ye Yuan, he held on to him and asked curiously, \"You are a big favorite within the academy now. The last place actually dares to sign a life-and-death contract with others. Just what were you thinking?\"\nYe Yuan also did not intend to keep a distance away from Zhou Chunyang, so he smiled and answered, \"Others already rode onto my head. I can't possibly behave like a coward. Don't you think so?\"\n\"Hahaha. That's true. But your strength . . .\" Zhao Chunyang was an outspoken person and was not afraid that other people would feel awkward.\n\"Hahaha. That's why I'm here to choose martial techniques.\"\n\"Sharpening your spear at the last moment, even if it's not sharp, it is at least shiny. These words are not wrong, but there are only three days left. Isn't that a little too short?\"\n\"That's something that can't be helped. I believe Senior Apprentice Brother is also aware that I neglected cultivation in the past which led to my poor foundation. Even if it is only three days, it is better than not doing anything. Isn't that right?\"\nZhao Chunyang sized up Ye Yuan once again and suddenly smiled, and then he said, \"Interesting. You seem to be quite different from the rumors. Go in then. You have two hours.\"\n\"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother.\"\nZhao Chunyang patted Ye Yuan's shoulders and said with a smile, \"Choose well. I will cheer for you when the time comes.\"" } ]
26.第26章 柳若水和万渊联袂现身，表达的意思已经十分明显了。 在这之前，没几个人知道学院地级的女神已经和万渊走得如此之近了。 万渊带着柳若水前来，就是想羞辱叶远一番，让他看看自己梦寐以求的女人已经和死对头走到一起去了。 他很期待叶远脸上愤懑、羞怒、懊悔的表情，可是叶远的表现让他失望了，这些表情没有一样出现在叶远的脸上。 自始至终，叶远都没正眼看过柳若水，仿佛她是空气一般。 也正是叶远的无视，让柳若水心中恼火，言语才如此恶毒。 柳若水对自己的样貌相当自信，按照他的想法，叶远此时应该给她跪舔，哭着喊着让他不要走才对。 以叶远以前的身份，什么样的美女没有见过？ 想要以如此低劣的手段魅惑他，那是不可能的。 叶远淡淡看了柳若水一眼：“天鹅？ 你顶多算是个落毛的鸡，跟天鹅这种高贵的动物实在是挂不上边。 真正的天之骄女，哪有把心思放在勾引男人身上的？ 你什么时候见过风师姐跟别的男人暧昧来暧昧去了？ 柳若水心高气傲，在丹武学院从来都是众星捧月的存在，哪里被人比喻过一只落毛的鸡？ 柳若水气得柳眉倒竖，然而叶远口中的“风师姐”的确是她无法企及的存在，这又让她无可辩驳。 风师姐名叫风芷葇，乃是丹武学院真正的天之骄女。 不仅有倾国倾城的姿容，更是丹武双榜的前三甲，实力强绝，比起龙堂来也毫不逊色，根本不是柳若水这样的女子能够比拟的。 和柳若水不同，风芷葇对追求者从来不屑一顾，是丹武学院有名的冰山美人。 相比之下，柳若水反而受欢迎的多，因为她来者不拒，显得十分亲民，而她也十分享受这种被大家追捧的感觉。 死鸭子嘴硬，我会让费清平在生死战当中好好招待你的！” 在柳若水看来，叶远并不是对自己不屑一顾，而是知道真相后强撑着而已。 “呵呵，那就不需要你操心了。 你们来找我就是想说这件事的？ 现在说完了，我就不奉陪了。” 说完，叶远直接从他们身边穿过。 “谁允许你走了？” 万渊面色一沉，身形一动就要抓住叶远，谁知却抓了个空，连叶远的衣角都没有碰到。 再看叶远时，他已经在数丈外，还背对着他们二人挥了挥手，扬长而去，气得万渊脸色发青。 “嘶……，刚才那个是……瞬闪？” 万渊皱眉道。 “不错，的确是瞬闪。” 柳若水黛眉微蹙，显然也是被叶远这一手惊到了。 “看来这小子真的有古怪！ 父亲明明安排了杀手，叶远却大摇大摆地进了学院，也不知道是那个杀手太蠢，还是这小子真是扮猪吃老虎。” “依我看应该是前者了。 “万师兄是关心则乱。 依我看，叶远能练成瞬闪只是一时侥幸，他能倚仗的怕也只是这一招了，否则他现在怎么赶着去藏经阁？ 刚才万师兄是一时大意，并没有用全力才让他逃脱。 瞬闪虽然厉害，终究不过是一阶中品武技，并非无敌吧？” 柳若水已经从叶远的刺激中恢复过来，又变成了那个让人销魂的女神了。 万渊对柳若水垂涎已久，见柳若水如此追捧自己，不禁十分陶醉。 他刚才的确是没有用全力，但也用了七成的功力，却仍是让叶远闪了过去。 不过，实力是才是决定胜负的关键，身法终究是辅助。 柳若水说的不错，瞬闪也不是万能的，自然有能克制它的功法。 只是叶远这一手也让万渊提高了警惕，看来回去得好好告诫一下费清平，让他不要轻敌才是。 “还是柳师妹心若明镜，这次无论如何也不能让这小子活下去了，看来我们得回去给清平准备几张底牌了。” 再说叶远摆脱二人之后，径直来到藏经阁。 对于将瞬闪暴露出来，叶远倒是并不介意。 这并不是他的倚仗，而且他刚刚只施展出大成境界而已。 叶远现在最大的倚仗自然是绝阳指，但是这门武技是不能在外人面前展露出来的，否则会惹来很多麻烦，所以他才来藏经阁选择武技。 藏经阁里面的武技并不多高深，幽云宗自然不会将高深的武技放到俗世中来，不过这些武技对于叶远来说足够了。 “师兄，我想进藏经阁选两门武技。” 叶远向值守的师兄递上自己的身份令牌，说道。 值守藏经阁的是地级的师兄，名叫赵春阳。 他看到叶远那标志着黄级身份的令牌，眼中露出鄙夷之色。 这身份令牌是丹武学院特制的，是学员身份的象征。 只要稍微注入元力，就能查探持有令牌之人的身份。 “叶远？” 赵春阳觉得似乎在哪听过这个名字，想了一会恍然大悟道：“你就是那个学院倒数第一的叶远？” 叶远笑道：“如果没有第二个叶远的话，就是在下了。” 对于倒数第一这个称呼，叶远并不在意，那已经是过去的事情了。 赵春阳一听倒是来了兴致，把令牌递还给叶远，拉住他好奇道：“你现在可是学院的大红人啊，倒数第一居然敢跟别人签生死状，你到底是怎么想的？” 叶远倒没有拒人千里之外的意思，笑道：“人家都骑到我头上来了，我总不能当缩头乌龟吧？” “哈哈，那倒也是，可是你的实力……”这赵春阳是个口无遮拦之人，也不怕别人尴尬。 “呵呵，所以我才来选武技啊。” “临阵磨枪不快也光，这话是不错。 可是三日的时间嘛，是不是太短了点？” “这也是没办法的事情，想必师兄也知道我以前疏于练功，以至于根基太差。 哪怕只有三天的时间，也总比什么都不做强吧？” 赵春阳再次打量了一番叶远，忽然笑道：“有点意思，你好像和传闻中有些不太一样。 进去吧，你有一个时辰的时间。” “多谢师兄。” 赵春阳拍了拍叶远的肩膀，笑道：“好好选，到时候我去给你加油助威。”
Chapter 26: Grabbing Air Now that Liu Ruoshui and Wan Yuan showed up together, it was clear what they were trying to convey. Before this, not many people knew that the academy's Earth rank goddess had already walked so intimately with Wan Yuan. By bringing Liu Ruoshui here, Wan Yuan wanted to humiliate Ye Yuan by letting him see the woman he dreamed of was already walking together with his rival. He was looking forward to Ye Yuan's expressions of resentment, shame, as well as regret. But Ye Yuan's reaction disappointed him, as not one of these expressions appeared on Ye Yuan's face. From the start till the end, Ye Yuan never even looked at Liu Ruoshui, treating her like air. And it was precisely being ignored by Ye Yuan that angered Liu Ruoshui, making her words just now so venomous. Liu Ruoshui was rather confident in her appearance. In her opinion, Ye Yuan should be groveling right now, begging her in tears not to go. If it was his predecessor, he might really have lost all control and did just that. But sadly, the Ye Yuan now was no longer the Ye Yuan of the past. With Ye Yuan's status in his previous life, what kind of beauty he had not seen before? It was impossible to try to use such a cheap tactic to seduce him. Ye Yuan gave Liu Ruoshui an emotionless glance and said, "A swan? Aren't you overthinking things? At best, you are a defeathered chicken. How can you be compared with a noble animal such as a swan? How can a true proud daughter of heaven spare any thoughts to seduce men? When have you seen Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flirt with other men? Goddesses all have their own pride and wouldn't be the way you are." Liu Ruoshui was a prideful person. In the Dan Wu Academy, she was always an existence surrounded by a group of admirers. When had anyone ever compared her to a defeathered chicken? Liu Ruoshui was so angry that her willowy eyebrows were almost vertical. Yet, she could not refute it, because the Senior Apprentice Sister Feng mentioned by Ye Yuan was indeed an existence far beyond her reach. Senior Apprentice Sister Feng was called Feng Zhiruo, a true proud daughter of heaven within the Dan Wu Academy.

We did not dare to act presumptuously… That Ministry Counsellor Zhou has a lot of connections, and he even has friends all across the land. I’m afraid that even if we were to catch him today, he would be let out tomorrow.”\n“When did this happen?” asked Chu Li, “Can we still catch up with him now?”\n“The House of Secret Guardians have already sent the order to pursue him,” Zhe Liang gritted his teeth, “no matter what, even if he escapes to the Li Dynasty, we need to kill him!”\n“You will definitely need to kill him,” Chu Li nodded his head in understanding. “Who went after him?”\n“The Ning brothers,” said Zhe Liang, “the tracking techniques of the Ning family are second to none. Now that the Ning brothers are acting personally, they will definitely manage to catch him!”\n“That is good,” nodded Chu Li.\nBoth of them looked as if they were walking slowly, but with each step they took, the wider their strides became. They entered the House of Secret Guardians in just a short amount of time.\nWhen Chu Li entered the Main Hall, all they saw was a hall that was already filled with people.\nBesides Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande, there were twenty or so other young men and elders.\nSeeing as he entered the hall, they all looked over — some in curiosity, some in distaste; some in hatred, but none in fondness.\nChu Li was an anomaly in the House of Secret Guardians.\nEver since Siao Shi had killed the Secret Guardian of the Imperial House, he had been standing opposite them. If it weren’t for the fact that Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande wanted to lend his help in investigating the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, he would have been brushed aside long ago.\nIf Siao Shi wasn’t standing behind him, they would have hated him enough to have killed him happily.\nNo word was uttered in the Main Hall. It was as if the air had completely frozen over, and a heavy pressure was weighing on every single person.\nIf this Ministry Counsellor really managed to escape, every single person in the House of Secret Guardians would have to receive punishments. No one would be able to run away.\nThe worst case scenario would be getting kicked out of the House of Secret Guardians. Whereas a good outcome would mean being sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum; the normal outcome would be getting stepped on to death.\nFu Mengshan gestured his hand, “Young Chu, come sit here.”\nAmong the gazes of dissatisfaction and anger, Chu Li calmly went towards Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande, and closed fist saluted.\n“Young Chu, you are a good practitioner in tracking as well,” Fu Mengshan pointed towards the armchair on his right. “The Ning brothers are already after him, so they should be able to catch up. You should go too, to be on the safe side and guarantee success.”\n“Commander, I want to take a look at the Minister Counsellor’s mansion,” Chu Li closed fist saluted and sat in the armchair.\nEveryone glared at him in displeasure.\nNot everyone could sit in that armchair. Since it was so close to Fu Mengshan, it should be the Centurian’s seat.\n“Head Chief Chu, The Zhou Residence has already been reduced to a pile of ashes. There is nothing left,” a middle-aged man sitting opposite from him said, in an odd tone, “there is nothing left to see.”\n“Before that guy left, he burned down the entire mansion,” Xu Huande said coldly, “it is obvious that he is burning all bridges behind him. It has ended up completely like the Li Dynasty!”\nFu Mengshan said, “Let’s go take a look. Your eyesight is good, so you might be able to find a clue.”\n“So what if there really is a clue!” The middle-aged man said lightly, “The person has already fled, so the most important matter at hand now is to catch him. Or else, we will have bear all the consequences!”\n“Elder Ma, you should really work on your impatience,” Fu Mengshan waved his hand, “the Ning brothers are tracking him, but Young Chu’s abilities are not just tracking. He might be able to discover something accidentally.”\n“What use is accidental discoveries!” The middle-aged man, Ma Kun said in dissatisfaction, “Commander, what we have to do now is assemble our forces and catch that bastard before he flees all the way to the Li Dynasty. Capture him or kill him, we can leave all that for later!”\nHe looked towards Chu Li and said lightly, “Head Chief Chu’s martial arts are rumored to be amazing. Your Light-body Technique is also exceptional. Why don’t you hurry and catch up with the Ning brothers, and help them in their hunt!”\nChu Li shook his head and said calmly, “I want to see the Minister Counsellor’s mansion first!”\n“What is there to see in a pile of rubble!” Ma Kun said coldly, “Head Chief Chu, are you trying to slack off?”\nChu Li frowned at him.\nMa Kun scoffed, “We are at a stage of life and death in the House of Secret Guardians. Everyone is desperately thinking of ideas, but Head Chief Chu, you are thinking of slacking off and not contributing. Are you deliberately trying to see all of us in the House of Secret Guardians flounder about before you release the anger in your heart?”\n“Elder Ma, that mouth of yours!” Fu Mengshan glared at Ma Kun, and smiled towards Chu Li, “This is Centurian Ma Kun, he is in charge of assassins.”\nChu Li nodded his head, “I did not know Senior Ma had this kind of thinking. The reason to why I want to see the mansion is because I want to make clear exactly what happened there.”\n“What is the point in that, you should stop that man first!” scoffed Ma Kun, “If you catch the person, or even kill him, it would still not be too late to investigate carefully then!”\nChu Li smiled, “If it were that simple, then everything else in the world would be easy.”\n“What is so complicated about that?” Ma Kun said coldly, “It’s it obvious that Minister Counsellor has defected. We have been keeping an eye on him for some time now. He was acting inappropriately sneakily. It is a shame that he has a keen nose that he managed to snatch away the first move!”\nChu Li knew he was deliberately picking faults. When he entered the House of Secret Guardians, he had already predicted that this would happen.\nChu Li said, “You never know, that Minister Counsellor might be innocent!”\n“Haha!” Ma Kun laughed loudly.\nThe others also burst into laughter, looking sarcastically at Chu Li.\nFu Mengshan waved his hand and said, “Young Chu, how did you get this idea?”\nChu Li said, “Has the investigation results from the House been finalized yet? Is it confirmed that there is something wrong with the Minister Counsellor?”\nFu Mengshan sighed, “It did not make it in time. However, he already ran. So it is obvious that he is guilty.”\nChu Li frowned and said, “He is a Minister Counsellor and has no upward mobility. Why would he need to defect? Even if he flees all the way to the Li Dynasty, he will still not be able to get a higher position.”\n“There are plenty of reasons to defect,” Ma Kun laughed coldly, “it seems like you are an empleomania. You only want to be an Official, but you do not know that there are people out there who do not like officialdom and prefer to focus on their families’ safety, or prefer the company of women.”\nChu Li frowned, “Was he being coerced?”\n“Who knows,” Ma Kun waved his hand carelessly, “there’s no point thinking about him. There is only one choice left now since he has already defected, and that is to kill him!”\nChu Li looked at Fu Mengshan, “Commander, I shall go and look at the Minister Counsellor’s mansion.”\n“You… you…” Ma Kun grew furious. He glared at him and shouted, “My words are just mere farts to you, is it?”\nChu Li calmly looked at him, then towards Fu Mengshan.\n“You…” Ma Kun took a step forward.\nFu Mengshan waved his hand, “Elder Ma!”\nMa Kun said viciously, “Commander, I think this little brat just wants to slack off!”\nFu Mengshan said, “Elder Ma, stop spouting nonsense. Young Chu is not that kind of person!”\n“At this point, what is most important is catching that person, but he is finding excuses to dilly-dally. What is he if he is not slacking!” Ma Kun glared furiously at Chu Li, “If you were a subordinate of mine, I would have gotten rid of you long ago!”\nChu Li frowned without saying anything.\nIf it were not for his ambition to control the House of Secret Guardians, he would have gotten hostile long ago, and he would have straightaway given Ma Kun a tight slap." } ]
禇良也无奈的道：“其实早该把他捉起来的！” “秘卫府不都是先斩后奏，先捉人再调查吗？” 楚离皱眉道：“这次怎么没捉？” 禇良叹口气：“还不是这一阵大臣们攻讦厉害，咱们不敢太放肆，……尤其这周员外郎人缘极好，朋友遍朝野，咱们动了他，怕是今天刚捉，明天就得放出来。” “什么时候发生的事？” 楚离道：“现在能追得上吗？” “秘卫府已经下了追杀令。” 禇良咬咬牙道：“无论如何，即使他逃进了大离，也要把他杀了！” “肯定要杀了他的。” 楚离理解的点头：“谁去追踪了？” “宁氏兄弟。” 禇良道：“宁家的追踪术天下第一，这次宁氏兄弟亲自出手，一定能追得到！” “这就好。” 楚离点头。 两人看似在一步一步慢慢走，每一步却跨得很远，一会儿功夫进了秘卫府。 他进到大厅，但见大厅内已经坐满了人。 除了傅梦山与许还德，还有二十几个中年或者老者。 看到他进来，纷纷望过来，好奇有之，厌恶有之，仇恨有之，就是没有欢喜的。 楚离在秘卫府算是异类。 从萧诗杀禁宫秘卫那一刻，他就站在了他们的对立一面，傅梦山与许还德若非想借重他清查光明圣教弟子，早把他束之高阁。 若非萧诗站在他背后，他们甚至恨不得杀他而后快。 大厅内一言不发，空气宛如凝固了，沉重的压力压在每一个人身上。 真要被这个员外郎逃掉，秘卫府这一群人必将受罚，没人能逃得掉。 就怕会被调出秘卫府，下场好的去守皇陵，下场一般的被赐死。 傅梦山招招手道“小楚，过来坐。” 在众人不满与恼怒的目光中，楚离平静从容的来到傅梦山与许还德近前，抱抱拳。 “小楚你也是追踪的大行家。” 傅梦山指指下首一张太师：“宁氏兄弟已经过去了，应该会追得上，你也去，如此一来也能万无一失。” “统领，我想先看看员外郎的府邸。” 众人都不满的瞪着他。 这张太师椅可不是一般人能做的，这么靠近傅梦山，应该是百夫长的位子。 “楚大总管，周府已经化为灰烬，什么也没有了。” 一个中年男子坐在他对面，语气怪异的道：“没什么可看的。” “这家伙临走时，一把火烧了府邸。” 许还德冷冷道：“看得出，他是一点后路也不留，彻底归于大离了！” 傅梦山道：“去看看也好，你的眼力好，说不定能发现什么蛛丝马迹。” “有蛛丝马迹又有何用！” 那中年男子淡淡道：“人已经逃了，当务之急是把人追到，否则，咱们都要吃不了兜着走！” “老马，你这急性子得改一改。” 傅梦山摆摆手道：“追踪有宁氏兄弟呢，小楚的本事可不仅仅是追踪，说不定有什么意外的发现。” “意外发现有什么用！” 中年男子马昆不满的道：“统领，咱们现在最重要的就是调集人手，赶在那家伙逃到大离之前堵住他，捉住他或者杀了他，之后再说别的！” 他看向楚离，淡淡道：“楚大总管据说武功厉害，轻功也绝顶，不如赶紧追上去，帮着宁氏兄弟截杀！” 楚离摇摇头，平静的说道：“我想先看看员外郎的府邸！” “一片废墟有什么可看的！” 马昆冷冷道：“楚大总管，你不会是不想出力吧？” 楚离皱眉看着他。 马昆哼道：“现在到了咱们秘卫府生死存亡的关头，每个人都在拼命的想办法，楚大总管你却想偷懒，不想出力，是不是要故意看咱们秘卫府的热闹，一逞心中之气？” 楚离皱眉不悦的道：“还未请教……？” “老马，你这张嘴啊！” 傅梦山瞪了马昆一眼，朝楚离笑道：“这是百夫长马昆，负责刺杀的。” 楚离点头道：“我不知马前辈为何有这般想法，我想看看府邸，是想弄清楚到底发生了什么事。” “管他什么事，先把人截住再说！” 马昆哼道：“截住了人，甚至把人杀了，再仔细调查也不晚！” 楚离笑了笑：“如此简单，那世上所有的事倒容易办了。” “有什么不简单的？” 马昆冷冷道：“这不是明摆着的嘛，员外郎叛变了，咱们已经追查了一段时间，他鬼鬼祟祟很不妥当，可惜这家伙鼻子灵，抢先一步跑了！” 楚离知道他是故意找茬，进秘卫府时，他已经料到这一幕。 楚离道：“说不定，这位员外郎是冤枉的！” “哈哈！” 马昆大笑起来。 众人也都哄笑，讽刺的看着楚离。 傅梦山摆摆手道：“小楚，你怎有如此想法？” 楚离道：“咱们府里的调查有结果了吗？ 员外郎确实有问题？” 傅梦山叹口气：“还没来得及，他已经逃了，显然是心虚。” 楚离皱眉道：“他一个员外郎，前途无量，何必要叛逃，即使逃到大离，也不可能做到更高位子。” “叛逃的理由多了去。” 马昆冷笑道：“看来你是个官迷，只想着当官，却不知有的人并不喜欢官场，更注重家人的安危，或者更喜欢女人。” 楚离皱眉：“他是被胁迫的？” “谁知道呢。” 马昆不在意的摆摆手：“管他为了什么，现在只有一个，他已经叛逃了，只能杀了他！” 楚离看一眼傅梦山：“统领，我先看看员外郎府邸。” “你……你……”马昆勃然大怒，瞪着他喝道：“我说话是放屁，是不是？” 楚离平静的看他一眼，又看向傅梦山。 “你……”马昆踏前一步。 傅梦山摆摆手：“老马！” 马昆恨恨道：“统领，我看这小子就是想偷懒！” 傅梦山道：“老马，别胡说，小楚不是这样的人！” “现在这时候，第一要紧事是追杀，他却在借故磨磨蹭蹭，不是偷懒是什么！” 马昆怒气冲冲的瞪着楚离：“你要是我的手下，我早把你废了！” 楚离皱眉未语。 若非他怀有野心，想掌控秘卫府，早就翻脸，直接给马昆一巴掌。
Zhe Liang also said helplessly, “We should have captured him a long time ago!” “Doesn’t the House of Secret Guardians always act first before asking questions, and catch the person before launching an investigation?” frowned Chu Li, “Why didn’t you catch him first this time?” Zhe Liang sighed, “It’s all thanks to how the Chancellors kept exposing our deeds. We did not dare to act presumptuously… That Ministry Counsellor Zhou has a lot of connections, and he even has friends all across the land. I’m afraid that even if we were to catch him today, he would be let out tomorrow.” “When did this happen?” asked Chu Li, “Can we still catch up with him now?” “The House of Secret Guardians have already sent the order to pursue him,” Zhe Liang gritted his teeth, “no matter what, even if he escapes to the Li Dynasty, we need to kill him!” “You will definitely need to kill him,” Chu Li nodded his head in understanding. “Who went after him?” “The Ning brothers,” said Zhe Liang, “the tracking techniques of the Ning family are second to none. Now that the Ning brothers are acting personally, they will definitely manage to catch him!” “That is good,” nodded Chu Li. Both of them looked as if they were walking slowly, but with each step they took, the wider their strides became. They entered the House of Secret Guardians in just a short amount of time. When Chu Li entered the Main Hall, all they saw was a hall that was already filled with people. Besides Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande, there were twenty or so other young men and elders. Seeing as he entered the hall, they all looked over — some in curiosity, some in distaste; some in hatred, but none in fondness. Chu Li was an anomaly in the House of Secret Guardians. Ever since Siao Shi had killed the Secret Guardian of the Imperial House, he had been standing opposite them. If it weren’t for the fact that Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande wanted to lend his help in investigating the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, he would have been brushed aside long ago. If Siao Shi wasn’t standing behind him, they would have hated him enough to have killed him happily. No word was uttered in the Main Hall. It was as if the air had completely frozen over, and a heavy pressure was weighing on every single person. If this Ministry Counsellor really managed to escape, every single person in the House of Secret Guardians would have to receive punishments. No one would be able to run away. The worst case scenario would be getting kicked out of the House of Secret Guardians. Whereas a good outcome would mean being sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum; the normal outcome would be getting stepped on to death. Fu Mengshan gestured his hand, “Young Chu, come sit here.” Among the gazes of dissatisfaction and anger, Chu Li calmly went towards Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande, and closed fist saluted. “Young Chu, you are a good practitioner in tracking as well,” Fu Mengshan pointed towards the armchair on his right. “The Ning brothers are already after him, so they should be able to catch up. You should go too, to be on the safe side and guarantee success.” “Commander, I want to take a look at the Minister Counsellor’s mansion,” Chu Li closed fist saluted and sat in the armchair. Everyone glared at him in displeasure. Not everyone could sit in that armchair. Since it was so close to Fu Mengshan, it should be the Centurian’s seat. “Head Chief Chu, The Zhou Residence has already been reduced to a pile of ashes. There is nothing left,” a middle-aged man sitting opposite from him said, in an odd tone, “there is nothing left to see.” “Before that guy left, he burned down the entire mansion,” Xu Huande said coldly, “it is obvious that he is burning all bridges behind him. It has ended up completely like the Li Dynasty!” Fu Mengshan said, “Let’s go take a look. Your eyesight is good, so you might be able to find a clue.” “So what if there really is a clue!” The middle-aged man said lightly, “The person has already fled, so the most important matter at hand now is to catch him. Or else, we will have bear all the consequences!” “Elder Ma, you should really work on your impatience,” Fu Mengshan waved his hand, “the Ning brothers are tracking him, but Young Chu’s abilities are not just tracking.
