几个西极域人正在过城主宫殿的地下城，虽然是普通难度，但是忽然只感到后方一阵黑压压的。
其他几名围观的西极域人也情不自禁地，稍稍往旁边让了让。
只见屏幕上那名驭剑士的巨剑果真有着奇异的光芒，原本黯淡的武器，被附着上了灵气光辉，寒光湛湛，叫人一看便知道是一件宝贝。
怎的如此神异！ ？”
“这可是西娅小姐用一个月黑钻会员换来的紫色巨剑！” 旁边一名西极域的男子见得这黑袍人似乎没有什么恶意，这才面露得意之色道，“而且还强化了八次，威力岂是寻常宝剑可以比的？”
来到这家店后，便屡次听到各种各样的新名词，什么游戏、网络、黑钻之类的也就罢了，现在居然又来个什么强化？ ！
这又是什么新东西？
正欲再问时，只见那西极域人有些不耐烦地道：“自己去研究去，别老是问东问西的。”
“……”脸一黑。
那名西极域人莫名地打了个寒战，便仿佛一头洪荒猛兽，忽然瞪了过来。
看着那穿着黑袍的人影离去的身影：“刚刚怎么回事？
“如何了？” 旁边那道身影低声问道。
“吾已经打听清楚了，是一种名叫强化的方式，似乎可以让这些武器，变得更强。”
那名浑身都笼罩在宽大黑袍中的人沉声点头道：“没错，我想……应该就像吾等炼器之时，加上阵法、刻上篆文等诸般手段一样。”
接着他又道：“那小家伙不说，没关系，有这样手段的人，在这个阿拉德大陆应该不会默默无闻，或许是个炼器造诣极高的大师也说不定，我去找我那位导师打听打听，说不定她听说过。”
与此同时，店门之外，与唐家、王家、谢家等几大氏族家主走在一起的，似乎又多了一人。
是一名看上去大约三四十来岁的中年美妇人，衣着白袍墨纹，黄色的头发在脑后挽了个云髻，古有“黄发”之说，说的是老人头发由白转黄，有长寿之像，看上去更有几分特别的仙家气象，愈发显得华贵无方。
她身后跟着一群皆是白衣墨纹的年轻子弟，以女子为首，个个皆肌肤胜雪，面色如霜，这些欺霜胜雪的美人儿，当即惹得店内的顾客纷纷侧目。
“哇……这是哪来的，怎的一个个都这么漂亮的？” 买可乐路过的林绍的眼珠子不住地往这边瞄。
旁边同来买可乐的唐羽低声道，“没想到连她们也来了。” “隐仙谷，有什么特殊的么？”
林绍奇怪地问道，“不都是你们这什么古氏族么？”
唐羽低声解释道：“外人不知道，但我们七大氏族内部却是知晓的，我们这几大古氏族，也有排行之分，青丘、轩辕这两大氏族，比我们其他五大氏族历史可是要悠久得多！ 譬如说青丘氏族所在的云隐仙境，便是一处保存极为完好的小世界。”
林绍咂舌惊叹一声，小世界这种东西，别说完好的，即便是残破不堪，都只存在于传说之中。
下意识地又往那边瞅了一眼，立即便见到几道冰冷如剑般的目光刺了过来。
“好凶……”林绍脑袋一缩，“买可乐，买可乐！”
这个时候，只听那中年妇人开口道：“上一回南宫氏族之事，听闻我族长老便是为这家店的掌柜的所救，虽然俗务缠身，但拖了这么久，也该前来道谢一番了。”
她打量着店内环境：“没想到元泱城内，居然还隐藏着世外高人，不知……那位掌柜的在哪？”
“嘿嘿……又来了一群黄毛小丫头。” 就在这时，凉竹竿上的几柄神剑开口了。
“大哥，这个小丫头是不是眼神不大好？ 人就坐在前边呢，都没看到。”
“我看是，不像我们有见识。” 另一柄剑嗡声嗡气地道。
两柄神剑在一旁议论纷纷。
那名中年妇人脸一黑，自己都一把年纪了，居然还被人称之为黄毛丫头？
这都什么称呼？
！ 随即瞥了这两把挂在竹竿上，只见他俩煞气凝聚成的双手一个抱着胳膊一个插着腰，一派看好戏的模样。
当然，如果上边没吊着跟麻绳，这模样可能还确实会显得有些神异。
这名青丘氏族的中年妇人问道：“这上面挂着的是谁？”
“南宫氏族圣祖。” 唐家家主低声道。
？
那名中年妇人嘴一抽，差点笑出声。
“咳……”很注意形象地掩饰了过去，“刚才它们说老板就在前边？” “可不是？”
王家家主指着前面靠近柜台的一台电脑前，“就在那。”
方老板这个时候，还在地下城里练级，眼前的领主已经打掉一半血了，忙得很，显然没注意到有人来了。
“额……”旁边的王家家主摸了摸胡须，“老板在杀领主了，咱们稍等片刻。”
“啊……？” 后边的青丘氏族众人一脸莫名，只好跟在后边看着。
只见方老板眼前的屏幕内，一个穿着紫色高领长衣，身形颀长的白发男子，正在用一些极为奇特的武器对付着一头手持骑士，仿佛全身都是由盔甲组成的怪物。
一剑挥出，成片的雷霆从天而降，它的身旁还护卫着大量的盔甲骑士，极为森严。
屏幕中的角色，手里提着一根粗大的炮管，蓝光闪烁，一颗拳头大小的炮弹，几乎在电光火石间，钉入这怪物的盔甲之中。
接着一记滑铲顺势滑入怪群之中。
如此进入敌人包围之中？” 这么多骑士，只需一人一剑，恐怕这手里握着奇怪法器的青年就得玩完吧？
那领主骑士已经挥出了剑，与此同时，那颗拳头大小的子弹，忽然猛地爆开来，瞬间将周围的所有骑士都炸得像后退去，离得近的，更是踉跄倒地。
而这个时候的方老板，起身膝撞，手炮、拔枪、手炮、浮空弹，一手标准的拔枪流（原版用拔击使目标浮空，这里通过巨型枪械夹杂着挥击的拔击达到同样效果，另外因为物理碰撞与真实无异，所以某些招式与原版有所变化），接着一柄巨大的机枪疯狂喷吐着火龙，立即将这骑士领主打飞到了前方的高空。
与此同时，方老板已经一记滑铲脱离包围圈，落点恰到好处，竟在那头领主盔甲骑士落地之前。
方老板不慌不忙，膝撞格林机枪（BBQ），机枪巨大的冲击力再次将其送至远处，滑铲脱离包围圈继续一个人的连招，后边的骑士全跟在后头吃灰，连方老板衣角都没摸到。
最后，只见方老板在一众骑士即将追上之际，终于露出了他那拔而未出的巨大枪械。
一片璀璨的激光，瞬间横贯整个屏幕！
激光炮！
击杀领主的慢镜头，恰到好处地捕捉到了这一幕的完美风姿。
后边原本还准备打招呼的众人瞪大眼睛看着这一幕：虽然有点看不懂但是感觉好厉害！

“This…” A few people of the Ultimate West Realm were fighting in the dungeon known as the Castellan’s Chamber when they felt something dark coming from behind.
The few people of the Ultimate West Realm who were watching from the back also moved aside involuntarily.
“Can I ask why this weapon of yours emits light?” On the screen, the sword master’s huge sword sparkled with strange chilly lights, and everyone could see that it was a treasure.
“Does the sword have arrays engraved on them? How come it’s so powerful?!”
“This is a purple great sword that Ms. Sia got with a month of the Black Diamond Membership!” Seeing that the black-robed figure had no ill-intentions toward them, a man of the Ultimate West Realm explained smugly, “After eight reinforcements, it’s certainly more powerful than ordinary swords!”
“Reinforcements?!” After entering this shop, this black figure had heard many new terms such as games, internet, and Black Diamond, etc. Now, they were talking about reinforcements!
What is this new stuff?
He was about to ask more questions when that man of the Ultimate West Realm said impatiently, “You can study it by yourself; stop bothering us with questions.”
“…” His face darkened.
That person of the Ultimate West Realm shivered involuntarily as if he were stared by a primeval fierce beast.
Seeing the figure in black walking away, he murmured to himself, “What happened? How come I feel chills inside?”
“What is it?” The other figure asked in a low voice.
“I found out something about it. It’s a method named reinforcement which can strengthen these weapons.”
“Reinforcement?” The figure hidden in the wide black robe nodded and said in a deep voice, “Right. I think it might be something like adding arrays or engraving runes when we make artifacts.”

… At this moment, the masters of families such as Tang, Wang, and Xie were walking into the shop with one more person.
There was a beautiful woman looking to be in her thirties. While wearing a white robe with black patterns, she had her yellow hair pulled up in a bun behind her head. In the ancient times, people used the term “yellow hair” to describe old people’s hair turning from white to yellow, which was a sign of longevity. With her yellow hair, she looked like an immortal.
She was followed by a group of young female disciples wearing white robes with black patterns.; each of them was a beauty with snow-white skin, attracting the attention of the customers in the shop.
“Wow… who are they? They are all so beautiful.” Lin Shao who came to the counter to buy Coke kept glancing at them.
“They are from the Qingqiu Family of the Hidden Cloud Celestial Realm in Phoenix-Resting Mountain,” Tang Yu who came with him to buy Coke whispered to him, “I’m surprised that they are here.”
“Is this family very special?” Lin Shao asked curiously, “Isn’t it one of your seven ancient families?”
Tang Yu explained in a low voice, “Even though the people outside are not aware of it, people from our seven ancient families know there’s a ranking list among us; the Qingqiu Family and Xuanyuan Family have much longer histories than the other five families! For example, Hidden Cloud Celestial Realm where Qingqiu Family lives is an intact small world that was discovered in ancient times.”
“Indeed… So wonderous?!” Lin Shao clicked his tongue in surprise. After all, small worlds, even the worn-out ones, only existed in legends.
Subconsciously, he glanced at them again and saw cold gazes that were as sharp as swords shooting toward him.
“So fierce…” Lin Shao cringed. “Let’s get Coke! Let’s buy Coke!” …
At this moment, the middle-aged woman said, “I heard that the elder of my family had been rescued by the owner of this shop in the incident with the Nangong Family. Due to the affairs in my family, I haven’t been able to come and express my gratitude until now.”
She sized up the interior of the shop and said, “I’m surprised that a grand master resides in Yuanyang City as a hermit. Where’s the shop owner?”
“Hehehe… here comes a group of yellow-haired little girls.” At this moment, the godly swords hanging on the bamboo stick said.
“Big brother, I wonder if this little girl has poor eyesight. The shop owner is sitting just before her, and she doesn’t see him.”
“I agree. She’s not as knowledgeable as us,” another sword said in a muffled voice.
The two godly swords talked to each other.
The middle-aged woman’s face darkened, displeased that she, a woman with great age, was called a yellow-haired little girl.
What kind of address is this?
Then, she glanced at the two swords hanging on the bamboo stick. Both swords condensed arms from murderous spirit, and one of them crossed its arms before its ‘chest’ while the other put its arms on its ‘waist’. It looked like they were watching a show.
Of course, if they were not hung by rough ropes, they would have looked wondrous.
The middle-aged woman from the Qingqiu Family asked, “Who are these things hung on the stick?”
“They are the holy ancestors of the Nangong Family,” The Tang Family Master whispered to her.
“…”
The middle-aged woman’s lips twitched, and she almost laughed out loud.
“Ahem…” To retain her image, she covered it with a cough. “They said that the shop owner is here?”
“Yes.” The Wang Family Master pointed at a computer near the counter. “There he is.”
Mr. Fang was busy leveling up in a dungeon, and the boss before him had lost half of its HP. With his attention focused on the battle, Fang Qi didn’t notice the newcomers.
“Ugh…” The Wang Family Master stroked his beard and said, “The shop owner is fighting the boss; we can wait here for a moment.”
“Ugh…?” Nonplussed, the people of the Qingqiu Family had no choice but stand behind him to watch.
On Mr. Fang’s screen, a tall, white-haired tall man wearing a purple high-collared coat was fighting a monster made of armor with some strange weapons.
The monster waved its sword, and lightning bolts crashed down. Also, many armored knights guarded it closely.
The character on the screen had a thick cannon barrel in his hand. With blue flashes, a cannonball that was as big as a fist shot into the monster’s armor like a lightning bolt.
Then, he slid into the group of monsters with a sliding tackle.
Who’s this guy? How can he dash into the group of enemies like this? With so many knights surrounding him, this young man with the strange spiritual artifact will be killed if each knight slashes at him, right?
While the boss knight waved his sword, the fist-sized cannonball suddenly exploded, forcing the surrounding knights to fall back. The knights closer to the cannonball were knocked down to the ground.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang stood up and smoothly pulled out a huge machine gun which spat out fire dragons, sending the boss knight flying into the high sky.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang got out of the circle with another sliding tackle and landed right before the boss armored knight fell to the ground. He stood up and threw a grenade at the landing position before the guards got close.
Calmly, Mr. Fang bumped his knee on the Gatling gun, and the powerful recoil sent him to the distance; this was the skill named BBQ. Then, he broke out of the siege with a sliding tackle, leaving the knights behind him in the dust.
Finally, when the knights were about to catch up with him, Mr. Fang revealed the huge gun that he didn’t take out before.
A wave of radiant laser beams shot across the whole screen!
It was the Laser Rifle!
The slow motion during the kill of the boss captured this dazzling moment.
The newcomers who had been ready to greet him watched the scene with wide eyes; they didn’t understand it but thought it was indeed powerful!

"value": "\"What, father, you want me to solve the case?\" The girl pointed to herself, her face in utter shock.\n\"Why, are you unwilling?\" Tie Xue Leng smiled gently.\n\"No, no, of course I’m willing!\" Tie Ruo Nan finally reacted, jumping in joy.\nTie Xue Leng nodded, sighing in a complex tone, \"You aspire to walk the same path as me. These few years where you were by my side, you have been greatly influenced by me and learnt much. An eagle can only learn to fly by itself, only then can it truly grow up. Your father is old already, my injuries cannot be cured. I cannot continue being with you as you live your life, and as the newer generations replace the old, what happens next is up to you.\"\n\"Father… don’t give up yet, isn’t there still hope for treatment?\" The young girl’s voice trembled as she choked back tears.\n\"You and I both know that the chances are infinitely slim. People have to learn to face facts, Ruo Nan,\" Tie Xue Leng laughed, then turned towards Gu Yue Bo, \"Don’t worry Gu Yue clan leader, this daughter of mine has learnt at least 80% of my abilities. With my guidance along the way, she will not let your clan suffer any injustice.\"\n\"Of course, of course.\" Gu Yue Bo quickly cupped his fist, \"Young heroines are on par with males; such an elegant disposition and the child of a hero, there is no reason for me to worry. Please come to the village and let us feast upon your arrival.\"\n…...\nThe dishes filled the entire table, with the fragrance overwhelming the surroundings. Clear wine was poured out from the wine jar in a straight line into Tie Xue Leng’s cup.\nThe wolf tide was just over, and Gu Yue village was in its toughest period. Large amounts of resources had been expended, causing a food shortage and lack of commodities. Many mortals would starve to death.\nBut even so, to welcome Tie Xue Leng, Gu Yue clan still assembled this banquet.\nAs the clan leader, Gu Yue Bo sat at the clan head’s seat, while Tie Xue Leng and Tie Ruo Nan were beside him.\nOther than that, Gu Yue Chi Zhong, Gu Yue Ge Yan, Gu Yue Mo Chen, Gu Yue Yao Ji, as well as Fang Yuan and the others, all being elders, were present.\nBefore the wolf tide, Gu Yue clan had over a dozen clan elders. But now, only one table remained, and there were less than ten elders.\nMoreover, the clan elders present were all injured to varying degrees.\nEspecially in the case of Gu Yue Mo Chen — two weeks ago when he resisted the wolf tide, he was heavily injured and had been hiding in his private room to recuperate. He was resting in bed, but when he heard about the arrival of Tie Xue Leng, he forced his body up and attended this banquet.\nBut this also let him escape the crisis, while his old rival Gu Yue Chi Lian had followed the clan leader in assaulting the thunder crown wolf and was killed by the lightning lycan.\n\"If not for Brother Tie’s help today, I might’ve become the lightning lycan’s lunch already. For saving my life, I toast Brother Tie this cup!\" Gu Yue Bo stood up, holding the cup with both hands and bending his back, sincerely offering his gratitude.\n\"I was only doing what I could.\" Tie Xue Leng raised his cup, drinking the wine in one go.\nHe had a vigilant and strict lifestyle, refusing to gamble or find prostitutes, standing by his morals and never went greedy on drinking. He had thus, never been drunk.\nAfter drinking this cup, Gu Yue Bo looked at the people in the banquet, his eyes turning red, sighing and sitting down.\nTie Xue Leng had seen such situations many times, and he consoled, \"Gu Yue clan leader, my condolences. As long as your clansmen still exist, the village will definitely thrive again one day. That lightning lycan was heavily injured as well, and the lightning wolves have greatly been damaged, they will not attack for the next few years. This wolf tide has been safely endured.\"\nThe wolf tide’s harshest period is indeed over. For the next few months, although lightning wolves will still appear, their quantity will continue to decrease, and no large groups will be formed. The wolf packs no longer have the ability to directly charge at the village.\nThe lightning lycan will return to the wolf den and recuperate there, while slowly organising the remaining wolves. Many wolves will be recalled, and many lightning wolves would die, causing the wolf pack’s need for food to decrease drastically.\nThe wolf packs would become self-sufficient, and in the next few years, they would gradually get stronger, during which new hundred beast kings - bold lightning wolves, thousand beast kings - frenzy lightning wolves, and myriad beast kings - thunder crown wolves would appear.\nAt its peak, it begins to weaken, and at its weakest, it begins to prosper.\nRegardless of humans or wolves, they follow such a law.\nBut although Tie Xue Leng’s words were right, humans are not grass or trees, they have feelings. The Gu Yue clan leader understood this fact much better than Tie Xue Leng, but the misery and pain in his heart was unavoidable.\nThe sacrifice was too big…...\nJust the higher-up clan elders were already gone by at least half. As for the Rank two and Rank one Gu Masters, they had an even larger amount of casualties. The entire Gu Yue village’s strength had fallen to rock bottom, and could no longer endure any more disasters.\n\"Why is it that you guys do not counter attack, and go wreck their den?\" On one side, Tie Ruo Nan could not understand and asked in confusion.\n\"That is because inside the wolf den, there are over dozens of groups of thunder gas worms, amounting to over a million of them in total. There are also large numbers of wild Gu mixed in. It is hard to cause any damage to them, unless all three clans work together,\" Gu Yue Yao Ji explained.\nSaying so, she suddenly snorted, staring at Fang Yuan, \"But this possibility is too small. Even within our clan, there are clan elders shrinking in fear, and during the wolf tide’s attack, god knows where they were hiding!\"\nSaying so, all the other clan elders turned their vision towards Fang Yuan.\nPreviously, Fang Yuan was inside the rock crack secret cave exploring the Flower Wine Monk’s inheritance, causing him to miss the huge battle in resisting the wolf tide. In everyone’s eyes, this was being crafty and evasive, as well as being timid and fearing death.\nThus, the clan elders’ expression towards Fang Yuan were all full of unhappiness, disdain, and some hidden anger.\nEven Gu Yue Bo’s expression was looking ugly.\nAs the clan leader, he was most revolted by people like Fang Yuan, doing things according to their own will, mysterious and having their own little schemes. He could not feel safe with such a person around.\nThe atmosphere at the banquet immediately transformed.\nThe Tie father and daughter also felt this change, following everyone’s gaze and looking towards Fang Yuan.\nFang Yuan’s young appearance had attracted the attention of Tie Ruo Nan who was the same age as him.\nFang Yuan drank his wine calmly. Even though everyone’s gaze was on him, he acted as if he felt nothing.\nHis expression was calm, as he already had anticipated such a situation of people finding problems with him.\n\"Things are getting troublesome,\" he sighed in his heart. Although worried, he was not frightened.\nTie Xue Leng’s appearance had heavily destroyed his plans to leave. If he took the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and destroyed the foundation of the Gu Yue village, this would cause the Tie father and daughter to arrest him.\nThe name of divine investigator is not just a myth. With his abilities and strength, as long as Tie Xue Leng commences his chase, there is no possibility of failing.\nEven if he does not take the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, his mysterious disappearance would cause the clan to investigate. As it involves Jia Jin Sheng’s death, even the Tie father and daughter would get involved.\nIf he left without notice, in their eyes it would be a thief trying to escape, running from his crimes.\nWith no choice, Fang Yuan could only choose to stay and observe the situation.\nAlthough everyone reprimanded him, the situation now was still not at its worst. If he left right now, that would be a panicky move, and it would cause the entire situation to worsen.\n\"Is the wine nice?\" Gu Yue Yao Ji laughed sinisterly, staring at Fang Yuan, \"Aren’t you going to explain?\"\nFang Yuan slowly put down his cup, raising his head and looking at Gu Yue Yao Ji’s broken arm.\nThe old are the most cunning, this is extremely true.\nTo preserve her life, Gu Yue Yao Ji broke her own arm, and under the name of being injured, she avoided the clan mission of entering the battlefield.\nThis happened in Fang Yuan’s previous life as well, but to think she did the same thing once again.\nHer act of sacrificing one limb to save her life, was indeed effective. It prevented her from getting killed by the thunder crown wolf and not participating in the chase, thus keeping herself alive. However, right now she was finding problems with Fang Yuan — one aspect was due to old grudges, but mostly was because she wanted to bring the attention to Fang Yuan and reduce people’s attention on herself.\n\"What do you want me to explain? Explain how you broke your own limb just to preserve your miserable life?\" Fang Yuan sneered.\n\"WHAT?!\" Gu Yue Yao Ji was shocked and enraged, standing up from her seat.\nShe stared with both eyes wide open, pointing at Fang Yuan’s nose, shrilling, \"You little rascal! How dare you accuse me like this, this is blatant defamation, slander!! How can you be so shameless? How can our Gu Yue clan have such a joke like you?\"\n\"Gu Yue Yao Ji!\" Gu Yue Bo’s expression changed, shouting, \"Sit down at once, we have an important guest here, how can you scream and shout freely like this?\"\nGu Yue Yao Ji wanted to continue scolding, but on seeing Gu Yue Bo’s dim expression, she could only swallow the words she was about to spit out.\nGu Yue Bo settled Yao Ji’s problem, then turned to look at Fang Yuan, \"Elder Fang Yuan, I need an explanation. During the attack of the wolf tide, where were you?\"\n\"Fang Yuan... he’s Fang Yuan?\" Tie Xue Leng’s eyes shone with surprise. In Jia Jin Sheng’s mysterious disappearance, Fang Yuan had played an important role. Before coming here, Tie Xue Leng had already gotten much intel from Jia Fu. But to think that this young elder was Fang Yuan himself. At once, Tie Xue Leng’s heart became interested.\nHe had solved numerous cases and could see the peculiarity from all the traces of evidence, to guess the actual fact. From everyone’s expression, he could tell the truth behind Fang Yuan’s sudden evasion from battle.\nBut the truth that everyone knew was only scratching the surface, what is the utter reality?\nRegardless of what the truth is, Fang Yuan’s answer would reveal a fragment of his inner thought. That would be very helpful in solving the case later.\nSensing Tie Xue Leng’s attention on him, Fang Yuan’s heart tightened, but his expression remained the same.\nHe looked at everyone plainly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, \"There’s not much to explain. Since clan elder asked, I’ll just say it out. I was extremely frightened back then. The stressed accumulated during this extensive period, as well as my fear of death that had reached its limits. I could not endure it, I was cowardly and weak, I hid in a corner and no longer dared to enter the frontlines.\"\nOnce he said so, everyone was dumbfounded.\nThey had expected Fang Yuan to use all sorts of excuses and reasons, and were prepared to expose his lies and criticize Fang Yuan. But to think he admitted it directly!\n\"Any kind of lie, as long as it is not true, will have loopholes. Furthermore, Tie Xue Leng is here...\" Fang Yuan’s expression was calm, looking down and staring at the wine in his cup.\nTie Xue Leng’s expression turned weird. He subconsciously frowned, and a sense of loathing and antipathy rose in his heart.\n\"This young man, he has an inbred demonic nature!\"\nSkyfarrow Skyfarrow\nDon't worry guys, for those who can't wait for him to leave the village, it's not that far off."

“什么，爹，你让我来破案？” 少女手指自己，满脸的惊愕之色。
“怎么，你不愿意？” 铁血冷微笑着。
“愿意，当然愿意了！” 铁若男反应过来，雀跃地道。
铁血冷点点头，轻叹着，语气复杂：“你立志要走上和我一样的路，这几年来你跟在我的身边，也耳濡目染了许多东西。 雏鹰只有独立飞翔，才能真正的成长起来。 爹我已经老了，受的这伤，也治不好。
“爹……你不要灰心，不是还有治疗的希望吗？” 少女声调颤抖，有些哽咽。
人要学会认清楚现实，若男。” 铁血冷笑了笑，又转头面对古月博，“古月族长放心，我这女儿已学了我七八分的本事，再加上我随同辅导，必不会让你族蒙受不白的冤屈。” “哪里，哪里。”
古月博连忙拱手，“少侠女巾帼不让须眉，英姿勃发，又是英雄之后，在下岂有不放心的道理呢？ 请到山寨，先为二位接风洗尘。”
菜肴摆了一桌。
香气扑鼻，清醇的酒液从酒坛中形成一线，倾倒在铁血冷的杯盏当中。
狼潮刚刚过去，古月山寨陷入最困苦的时期。 大量物资的消耗，将导致接下来食物紧缺，物资匮乏。 甚至会有凡人生生饿死。
但即便如此，为了招待铁血冷，古月一族仍旧拼凑出了这席酒宴。
作为族长，古月博端坐在主位上，旁边就是铁血冷以及少女铁若男。
除此之外，还有古月赤钟、古月歌燕、古月漠尘、古月药姬，以及方源等人，皆是家老。
狼潮之前，古月一族的家老有数十位，但如今就只剩下这一桌，连十位都不到。
不仅如此，在座的家老，都是各个带伤。
尤其是古月漠尘，在两个星期前的抵御战中，就身负重伤，一直隐藏在密室中修养。 本来躺在床上，但听说铁血冷的到来，这才强撑病体，来参加这酒席。
不过这倒让他逃过一劫，而他的老对手古月赤练则跟随着族长追杀雷冠头狼，反而被狡电狈所杀。
“今日若非铁兄相助，恐怕在下此刻已经成了狡电狈的腹中餐了。 救命大恩，这杯酒敬铁兄！”
古月博站起来，双手捧杯，微微弯腰，诚恳地致谢道。 “我也是做了自己力所能及之事。”
他生性严谨，不赌不嫖，克己自守，喝酒从不贪杯，浅尝辄止因此从未醉过。
古月博喝了这酒，环视席间众人一周，双眼泛红，叹了一口气缓缓坐下。
铁血冷看过这等情形多了，开解道：“古月族长切勿伤怀，只要人还在，山寨就会有重新兴盛起来的时候。 而且那狡电狈也受了伤，电狼群也消耗甚巨，最近几年应该都不会来犯。
狼潮中最恶劣的时期，的确已经渡过去了。 接下来的几个月，虽然仍旧会有电狼不断出没，但数量会越来越少，不会形成巨大的规模，狼群再也没有直接冲击山寨的力量了。
狡电狈将回转狼巢，在那里修养，慢慢地整合剩下来的狼群。 许多电狼将不断被召唤回去，大量电狼的死亡，导致了狼群对食物的需求大大降低。
狼群又可以自给自足，接下来的几年里，电狼群将重新渐渐壮大，期间产生新的百兽王豪电狼、千兽王狂电狼以及万兽王雷冠头狼。
盛极而衰，衰而转盛。
不管是人族，还是狼群，都遵循着这样的变化规律。
只是神捕的话虽如此正确，但人非草木，孰能无情？ 古月族长比铁血冷更清楚这真相，但是心中的悲伤和痛苦，也是避免不了的。
单单高层家老，就损伤了大半。
二转蛊师、一转蛊师更是死伤惨重。 整个古月山寨力量空虚到了谷底，再经不起任何一场动荡。
“为什么你们不去反攻，直接端了狼巢呢？” 一旁，铁若男不解，疑惑地问道。
“那是因为狼巢中生活着十多只雷气虫群，数量近百万，有大量的野生蛊夹杂在内。 根本难以撼动，除非三家联合出兵。”
她说到这里，忽然哼了一声，阴鸠的目光瞟向方源：“不过这可能性太小了，就算是在我们古月一族，也有家老级的人物临阵退缩，狼潮来袭的时候不知道躲到哪里去了！”
听了这话，其他的家老亦都不由地将目光，移到方源的身上。
先前，方源在石缝秘洞，探索花酒密藏，导致他缺席了抵挡狼潮的大战。 这在众人眼中，就是偷奸耍滑，贪生怕死的表现。
因此，众家老看向方源的神色，都带着不满、鄙夷，还有隐隐的愤怒。
就连古月博的脸色，也并不好看。
作为家族领袖，最反感的就是方源这种人，我行我素，神秘，有自我盘算，用着却不让人放心。
酒桌上气氛顿时发生了变化。
铁家父女也感受到了这样的变化，顺着众人的目光，也看向方源。
方源年轻的相貌，早就引起了铁若男身为同龄人的关注。
方源淡淡地喝着酒，尽管其他所有人的目光都集中在他的身上，但他却好似察觉不到。
他神情淡漠，对这秋后算账的情形早就有所预料。
“这事情麻烦了。” 他心中叹着，虽然担忧，但并不恐慌。
铁血冷的出现，严重破坏了他的出走计划。 他若摘了天元宝莲，坏了古月山寨的根基，这必将引起铁家父女的抓捕。
神捕之名，绝非世人泛泛而谈。 以他现在的手段和实力，只要铁血冷展开追捕，就绝对没有失手的可能。
就算不摘天元宝莲，他神秘失踪，也会被家族调查。 因为牵扯到贾金生之死，更会被铁家父女调查追捕。
他不告而别，放在他们眼中，就是做贼心虚，畏罪潜逃。
无奈之下，方源只好选择留下来，暂观其变。
虽然被众人责难，但这情形还不是最糟糕的。 若是直接出走，那就是自乱阵脚，自己把情况搞砸。
“酒好喝么？” 古月药姬阴森地笑着，直视方源，“你不打算解释一下吗？”
方源慢慢地放下酒杯，抬眼看了古月药姬的断臂一眼。
都说年老成精，这话一点不假。
古月药姬为了保命，自断一臂，以受伤之名，逃避了亲临战场的家族任命。
这在方源的前世就发生过，想不到今生古月药姬同样如此做了。
防止被雷冠头狼杀害，没有参与追击，因此保留了一命。 她现在向自己发难，一小半是因为旧怨，一大半是要将火烧在方源身上，降低其他人对她自己的注意力。
“你想要我要解释什么？ 解释你为了苟且偷生，自断一臂吗？”
！” 古月药姬顿时惊怒交加，猛地从座位上站起来。
她瞪圆了双眼，手指向方源的鼻子，尖声吼叫道：“你个小兔崽子！ 竟然反咬我一口，血口喷人，污蔑栽赃我！
“古月药姬！” 古月博勃然变色，沉声一喝，“你给我坐下，有贵客在此，大呼小叫地成何体统？”
古月药姬还想再骂，但看古月族长脸色相当阴沉，只得将到了嘴边的话，再咽进肚子里去。
她怒视方源，愤愤不已地坐下。 古月博处理了药姬这边，又将目光移向方源：“方源家老，我需要你一个解释。 在狼潮攻击山寨的时候，你去了哪里？”
铁血冷眼中闪过一丝异色。 贾金生的神秘失踪案中，方源这个人扮演了极为重要的角色，铁血冷来此之前，自然得到过贾富的不少情报。 只是没有想到，这个少年家老就是方源。
一下子，铁血冷的心中就升起了盎然之兴趣。 他破案无数，能从蛛丝马迹中看出端倪，猜测真相。
但世人认知事实，往往流于表象，真相又是什么呢？
不管真相是什么，方源的答话都能暴露出他的内心一角。 这对接下来的破案，将很有帮助。
感受到铁血冷投来的关注目光，方源心中一紧，但面色却丝毫不变。
他淡淡地扫视众人一圈，嘴角浮现出嘲讽的笑：“这没有什么好解释的。 但既然族长您这么问了，那我就直说好了。
此言一出，众人都楞了一楞。
他们原本等着方源的借口和理由，已经准备好了如何戳穿方源，揭露方源。 没有想到方源居然直接就承认了！
“任何的谎言，只要不是事实，就都会有破绽。 更何况有铁血冷在此……”方源面色平静，垂下眼帘，只盯着面前的酒杯。
铁血冷双眼涌出一股异色，他下意识地皱了皱眉头，心中升腾起一股厌恶反感。
“这个少年，骨子里有一种魔性！”

"What, father, you want me to solve the case?" The girl pointed to herself, her face in utter shock.
"Why, are you unwilling?" Tie Xue Leng smiled gently.
"No, no, of course I’m willing!" Tie Ruo Nan finally reacted, jumping in joy.
Tie Xue Leng nodded, sighing in a complex tone, "You aspire to walk the same path as me. These few years where you were by my side, you have been greatly influenced by me and learnt much. An eagle can only learn to fly by itself, only then can it truly grow up. Your father is old already, my injuries cannot be cured. I cannot continue being with you as you live your life, and as the newer generations replace the old, what happens next is up to you."
"Father… don’t give up yet, isn’t there still hope for treatment?" The young girl’s voice trembled as she choked back tears.
"You and I both know that the chances are infinitely slim. People have to learn to face facts, Ruo Nan," Tie Xue Leng laughed, then turned towards Gu Yue Bo, "Don’t worry Gu Yue clan leader, this daughter of mine has learnt at least 80% of my abilities. With my guidance along the way, she will not let your clan suffer any injustice."
"Of course, of course." Gu Yue Bo quickly cupped his fist, "Young heroines are on par with males; such an elegant disposition and the child of a hero, there is no reason for me to worry. Please come to the village and let us feast upon your arrival."
…...
The dishes filled the entire table, with the fragrance overwhelming the surroundings. Clear wine was poured out from the wine jar in a straight line into Tie Xue Leng’s cup.
The wolf tide was just over, and Gu Yue village was in its toughest period. Large amounts of resources had been expended, causing a food shortage and lack of commodities. Many mortals would starve to death.
But even so, to welcome Tie Xue Leng, Gu Yue clan still assembled this banquet.
As the clan leader, Gu Yue Bo sat at the clan head’s seat, while Tie Xue Leng and Tie Ruo Nan were beside him.
Other than that, Gu Yue Chi Zhong, Gu Yue Ge Yan, Gu Yue Mo Chen, Gu Yue Yao Ji, as well as Fang Yuan and the others, all being elders, were present.
Before the wolf tide, Gu Yue clan had over a dozen clan elders. But now, only one table remained, and there were less than ten elders.
Moreover, the clan elders present were all injured to varying degrees.
Especially in the case of Gu Yue Mo Chen — two weeks ago when he resisted the wolf tide, he was heavily injured and had been hiding in his private room to recuperate. He was resting in bed, but when he heard about the arrival of Tie Xue Leng, he forced his body up and attended this banquet.
But this also let him escape the crisis, while his old rival Gu Yue Chi Lian had followed the clan leader in assaulting the thunder crown wolf and was killed by the lightning lycan.
"If not for Brother Tie’s help today, I might’ve become the lightning lycan’s lunch already. For saving my life, I toast Brother Tie this cup!" Gu Yue Bo stood up, holding the cup with both hands and bending his back, sincerely offering his gratitude.
"I was only doing what I could." Tie Xue Leng raised his cup, drinking the wine in one go.
He had a vigilant and strict lifestyle, refusing to gamble or find prostitutes, standing by his morals and never went greedy on drinking. He had thus, never been drunk.
After drinking this cup, Gu Yue Bo looked at the people in the banquet, his eyes turning red, sighing and sitting down.
Tie Xue Leng had seen such situations many times, and he consoled, "Gu Yue clan leader, my condolences. As long as your clansmen still exist, the village will definitely thrive again one day. That lightning lycan was heavily injured as well, and the lightning wolves have greatly been damaged, they will not attack for the next few years. This wolf tide has been safely endured."
The wolf tide’s harshest period is indeed over. For the next few months, although lightning wolves will still appear, their quantity will continue to decrease, and no large groups will be formed. The wolf packs no longer have the ability to directly charge at the village.
The lightning lycan will return to the wolf den and recuperate there, while slowly organising the remaining wolves. Many wolves will be recalled, and many lightning wolves would die, causing the wolf pack’s need for food to decrease drastically.
The wolf packs would become self-sufficient, and in the next few years, they would gradually get stronger, during which new hundred beast kings - bold lightning wolves, thousand beast kings - frenzy lightning wolves, and myriad beast kings - thunder crown wolves would appear.
At its peak, it begins to weaken, and at its weakest, it begins to prosper.
Regardless of humans or wolves, they follow such a law.
But although Tie Xue Leng’s words were right, humans are not grass or trees, they have feelings. The Gu Yue clan leader understood this fact much better than Tie Xue Leng, but the misery and pain in his heart was unavoidable.
The sacrifice was too big…...
Just the higher-up clan elders were already gone by at least half. As for the Rank two and Rank one Gu Masters, they had an even larger amount of casualties. The entire Gu Yue village’s strength had fallen to rock bottom, and could no longer endure any more disasters.
"Why is it that you guys do not counter attack, and go wreck their den?" On one side, Tie Ruo Nan could not understand and asked in confusion.
"That is because inside the wolf den, there are over dozens of groups of thunder gas worms, amounting to over a million of them in total. There are also large numbers of wild Gu mixed in. It is hard to cause any damage to them, unless all three clans work together," Gu Yue Yao Ji explained.
Saying so, she suddenly snorted, staring at Fang Yuan, "But this possibility is too small. Even within our clan, there are clan elders shrinking in fear, and during the wolf tide’s attack, god knows where they were hiding!"
Saying so, all the other clan elders turned their vision towards Fang Yuan.
Previously, Fang Yuan was inside the rock crack secret cave exploring the Flower Wine Monk’s inheritance, causing him to miss the huge battle in resisting the wolf tide. In everyone’s eyes, this was being crafty and evasive, as well as being timid and fearing death.
Thus, the clan elders’ expression towards Fang Yuan were all full of unhappiness, disdain, and some hidden anger.
Even Gu Yue Bo’s expression was looking ugly.
As the clan leader, he was most revolted by people like Fang Yuan, doing things according to their own will, mysterious and having their own little schemes. He could not feel safe with such a person around.
The atmosphere at the banquet immediately transformed.
The Tie father and daughter also felt this change, following everyone’s gaze and looking towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan’s young appearance had attracted the attention of Tie Ruo Nan who was the same age as him.
Fang Yuan drank his wine calmly. Even though everyone’s gaze was on him, he acted as if he felt nothing.
His expression was calm, as he already had anticipated such a situation of people finding problems with him.
"Things are getting troublesome," he sighed in his heart. Although worried, he was not frightened.
Tie Xue Leng’s appearance had heavily destroyed his plans to leave. If he took the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and destroyed the foundation of the Gu Yue village, this would cause the Tie father and daughter to arrest him.
The name of divine investigator is not just a myth. With his abilities and strength, as long as Tie Xue Leng commences his chase, there is no possibility of failing.
Even if he does not take the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, his mysterious disappearance would cause the clan to investigate. As it involves Jia Jin Sheng’s death, even the Tie father and daughter would get involved.
If he left without notice, in their eyes it would be a thief trying to escape, running from his crimes.
With no choice, Fang Yuan could only choose to stay and observe the situation.
Although everyone reprimanded him, the situation now was still not at its worst. If he left right now, that would be a panicky move, and it would cause the entire situation to worsen.
"Is the wine nice?" Gu Yue Yao Ji laughed sinisterly, staring at Fang Yuan, "Aren’t you going to explain?"
Fang Yuan slowly put down his cup, raising his head and looking at Gu Yue Yao Ji’s broken arm.
The old are the most cunning, this is extremely true.
To preserve her life, Gu Yue Yao Ji broke her own arm, and under the name of being injured, she avoided the clan mission of entering the battlefield.
This happened in Fang Yuan’s previous life as well, but to think she did the same thing once again.
Her act of sacrificing one limb to save her life, was indeed effective. It prevented her from getting killed by the thunder crown wolf and not participating in the chase, thus keeping herself alive. However, right now she was finding problems with Fang Yuan — one aspect was due to old grudges, but mostly was because she wanted to bring the attention to Fang Yuan and reduce people’s attention on herself.
"What do you want me to explain? Explain how you broke your own limb just to preserve your miserable life?" Fang Yuan sneered.
"WHAT?!" Gu Yue Yao Ji was shocked and enraged, standing up from her seat.
She stared with both eyes wide open, pointing at Fang Yuan’s nose, shrilling, "You little rascal! How dare you accuse me like this, this is blatant defamation, slander!! How can you be so shameless? How can our Gu Yue clan have such a joke like you?"
"Gu Yue Yao Ji!" Gu Yue Bo’s expression changed, shouting, "Sit down at once, we have an important guest here, how can you scream and shout freely like this?"
Gu Yue Yao Ji wanted to continue scolding, but on seeing Gu Yue Bo’s dim expression, she could only swallow the words she was about to spit out.
Gu Yue Bo settled Yao Ji’s problem, then turned to look at Fang Yuan, "Elder Fang Yuan, I need an explanation. During the attack of the wolf tide, where were you?"
"Fang Yuan... he’s Fang Yuan?" Tie Xue Leng’s eyes shone with surprise. In Jia Jin Sheng’s mysterious disappearance, Fang Yuan had played an important role. Before coming here, Tie Xue Leng had already gotten much intel from Jia Fu. But to think that this young elder was Fang Yuan himself. At once, Tie Xue Leng’s heart became interested.
He had solved numerous cases and could see the peculiarity from all the traces of evidence, to guess the actual fact. From everyone’s expression, he could tell the truth behind Fang Yuan’s sudden evasion from battle.
But the truth that everyone knew was only scratching the surface, what is the utter reality?
Regardless of what the truth is, Fang Yuan’s answer would reveal a fragment of his inner thought. That would be very helpful in solving the case later.
Sensing Tie Xue Leng’s attention on him, Fang Yuan’s heart tightened, but his expression remained the same.
He looked at everyone plainly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "There’s not much to explain. Since clan elder asked, I’ll just say it out. I was extremely frightened back then. The stressed accumulated during this extensive period, as well as my fear of death that had reached its limits. I could not endure it, I was cowardly and weak, I hid in a corner and no longer dared to enter the frontlines."
Once he said so, everyone was dumbfounded.
They had expected Fang Yuan to use all sorts of excuses and reasons, and were prepared to expose his lies and criticize Fang Yuan. But to think he admitted it directly!
"Any kind of lie, as long as it is not true, will have loopholes. Furthermore, Tie Xue Leng is here..." Fang Yuan’s expression was calm, looking down and staring at the wine in his cup.
Tie Xue Leng’s expression turned weird. He subconsciously frowned, and a sense of loathing and antipathy rose in his heart.
"This young man, he has an inbred demonic nature!"

Don't worry guys, for those who can't wait for him to leave the village, it's not that far off.

Nobody should stay close to the room and disturb us.” Dudian sat in the sofa and poured tea for two.\nDenis nodded and gently closed the door. Ivette and Dudian were only two left in the study room.\nDudian glanced at Ivette. He saw that her face was numb, her eyes full. She was standing still. He smiled and said in English: “Come over, sit.”\nIvette was expressionless like a tree.\nDudian’s eyebrows wrinkled as he got up and walked to stop in front of her. He raised his hands to shook in front of her. Suddenly, Ivette shot at Dudian and tried to lock onto his throat.\nDudian’s eyes lit up as his upper body swayed and he caught her with his hand. He grabbed her by shoulders and pushed her body backwards. Her body hit the door and some dust fell off because of the shock to the door.\nIvette’s hands rushed over at Dudian. Her fingers were like claws.\nDudian waved with his arms and blocked her. He hit her chest and pushed her back again. Dudian’s hand grasped her throat: “Do you want to die?” Ivette stopped as she looked at him with eyes full of resentment.\n“Do you want to continue to attack? Even if you kill me you will be dead!” Dudian coldly continued: “Moreover you won’t be able to kill me with your strength.”\nIvette bit her lips. Blood oozed out but she was unaware. She still stared back at Dudian as if a beast was looking at a human.\n“Do you hate me?” Dudian didn’t sympathize with the barbarian girl: “No matter what you think in your hurt if you live in my house then you have to follow my rules. Unless you want to suffer ten times more insult than in the military!”\nHe slowly loosened his fingers. However she still stared back at him with eyes full of hate and anger. But there was a bit of faint fear.\nDudian turned back to the sofa and sat down. He pointed to the seat opposite to him: “Come over and sit.”\nIvette’s hands were trembling as if she was a patient in a mental institution. She step by step walked. Her feet seemed to be heavy. She sat opposite to Dudian and stared at him.\n“Are you dumb or did they cut off your tongue?” Dudian chuckled as he gave her a cup.\nIvette’s chest went up and down sharply as her fingers clenched into a fist. Dudian snorted: “You may hate my strength but you better beg me as maybe I will help you get your revenge on the one who rap3d and humiliated you. ”\nIvette’s body slightly trembled as she heard the word ‘rap3.’ There was a trace of anger in her eyes. Her face was pale as she slowly bowed down her head. After a moment she said in a hoarse tone: “It’s all because of you!”\nDudian indifferently replied: “You should stop blaming others because of the setbacks. If you continue to complain at best you will become a good wife. You should be aware of your fate when you were captured by me. You didn’t have courage to commit suicide so I have you my word to keep your little life. In the end I actually did. You should not hate me but thank me!”\nIvette’s eyes were flushed: “I would have committed suicide long ago if you didn’t promise to protect my life. I would not have gone through the humiliation!” Dudian replied: “Dead people can’t take revenge.”\nIvette bitterly stared at him: “What do you want? Can you help me? Will you help me?”\n“Depending on your attitude.” Dudian took a sip from the cup: “Right now I don’t see you trying to plead…”\nIvette almost spat out mouthful of blood. She bowed her head and bit her lips: “You want to get secrets from me so you have protected my life. I won’t tell you even if I knew…”\nDudian looked at her: “Look at me.”\nIvette looked up at him in anger.\nDudian raised his fingers: “First, your people tried to invade us. It was my duty to capture you! Second, First, as a wall of people, you invade us, I will you under the capture, this is my duty! Second, I said that your life will be spared and you weren’t killed. Third I can impose the torture hundred times more worser than military have done! ”\nIvette wasn’t scared as she said in an angry tone: “Are you threatening me?”\nDudian shook his head: “Why should I threaten you? I’m just standing the fact. I believe your tribe wouldn’t be interested in your corpse and we are free to spoil it. Don’t trouble me too much as I like to solve problems in an efficient way. I hate inefficiency. So don’t force me to do something which I hate. Am I clear?”\n“I will tell you everything that I know if you can help me with revenge! I want you to help me to kill that damned dwarf pig!” Ivette replied.\n“Its better this way. We are saving time.” Dudian continued: “The man who was responsible for doing what he did to you will stay in here. He can’t get away or run. Now lets talk about me. My name is Dean. I have two main occupations. I’m a master architect from the Temple and a golden knight from the Knight’s Hall. I’m telling this to you so you know that your request is very simple for me.”\nIvette as a part of the royal family of the barbarians was aware of two forces that Dudian had told. The kid had such a high status though his age looked smaller than hers! And why would such a person act personally on the battlefield?\n“This if my medal from the Knight’s Hall and this is my medal from the Temple.” Dudian took out two medals and put them on the table: “I won’t know what to say if you don’t even know what these medals mean. ”\nIvette recognized the knight medal from the first sight. She picked it up to carefully check it and confirm that its not face. She looked at Dudian: “Are-are you lying?”\nDudian said: “Why would I?”\nIvette’s eyelids twitched. She found that the boy’s mouth was sharp and insensitive. She took a deep breath: “Alright, I believe you. What do you want to know?”\n“Everything you know.” Dudian slowly said: “By the way, I know when people lie. Know that I don’t mind choosing the hard way to take out that knowledge from you. I can assure you that my means are more effective than the military’s. At least I can find thousands to humiliate you.”\nIvette’s face changed.\nDudian lightly said: “One more thing. The barbarians have been defeated and were expelled from the golden wall. I can let my attendants take you to the golden wall to see the sight if you don’t believe me. The barbarians lost because of the weapon created by me!”\nIvette was shocked: “Impossible! We can’t lose!”\n“I can send you personally to verify the case. I don’t need to tell a lie.” Dudian indifferently said: “The military is considering to attack your headquarters. I got lots of inventions and can help the military to completely erase the barbarians but I don’t want to do so.”\n“If you are willing to believe then give me few years of time! I can make sure that there will be a place in outer wall for barbarians and noone will expel you out!”\n“I hope you will be honest.”\nIvette stared at him. She felt that the boy could really achieve the things what he said. However her faith was shaken so she calmed her mind."

“少爷，您要的人带回来了。” 丹尼斯上前道。
杜迪安微微点头，转身上楼，道：“把她送到我的书房来。”
“是，少爷。” 丹尼斯点头。
杜迪安来到书房中没多久，丹尼斯便将伊薇特送了上来，道：“少爷，还有什么吩咐么？”
“你先退下吧，让其他人也退下，不要靠近和打扰。” 杜迪安坐在沙发上，一边斟茶一边吩咐道。
丹尼斯点点头，将门轻轻带上，书房内顿时只剩下杜迪安和伊薇特二人。
杜迪安斟好两杯茶，瞥了一眼伊薇特，见她表情麻木，目光呆滞，一言不发，只呆呆地站在原地，微微一笑，用英文说道：“别装了，过来坐吧。”
伊薇特表情木然，没有反应。
杜迪安挑挑眉，起身走到她面前，抬手在她眼前晃了晃，刚想开口，陡然间表情木然的伊薇特猛地出手，向杜迪安的喉咙锁来。
杜迪安眼中精光一闪，上身后扬，反手猛地抓出，电光火石间击在她的肩膀处，将其身体推得向后一倒，撞在门上，震荡得门框上脱落些许灰尘。
伊薇特一击不中，迅速两手挥舞，朝杜迪安扑了过来，手指如爪，左右撕抓。
杜迪安冷哼一声，手臂猛地挥舞，将她的一只手挡开，侧身切入其胸口，肩膀一撞，将其推得再次向后退去，还没等她站稳，杜迪安的手掌已飞速掠过她的脸颊，扼在她的喉咙上，五指收紧，森然道：“想死是么？”
就算你杀了我，你自己也得死！” 杜迪安表情冰冷，道：“况且，凭你这点力量，还杀不了我。”
伊薇特微微咬唇，丝丝鲜血渗透出来，她毫无察觉，依然愤恨地瞪着杜迪安，犹如择人而噬的野兽。
“恨我？” 杜迪安脸色冰冷，丝毫没有同情和怜悯，道：“不管你心里怎么想的，在我这里，就要守我的规矩，除非，你想要再遭受一遍之前十倍以上的痛苦和侮辱！”
说着，缓缓地松开了手指，目光冰冷如剑，对视着伊薇特充满愤恨怨毒地眼眸。
杜迪安冷哼一声，转身回到沙发上坐下，向对面一指，道：“过来坐。”
伊薇特咬着牙，双手轻轻颤抖着，似在竭力克制和忍耐，她一步一步地走了过来，脚上似有千钧重，缓缓地坐到了杜迪安对面的沙发上，依然死死地盯着杜迪安。
“怎么，哑巴了？ 还是舌头被他们剪断了？”
杜迪安轻靠在沙发上，冷笑道：“别的没学会，倒学会装哑巴了，有恨我的力气，还不如求我，兴许我还可以帮你报仇，把鞭打你**辱你的人给杀了。”
伊薇特听到“奸辱”二字时，身体微微哆嗦一下，愤怒怨毒的双眼中掠过一丝恐惧，脸色也苍白了几分，她慢慢地低下头去，谁也看不清她的表情，过了片刻，只听她嗓子沙哑，饱含着令人惊悚的怨毒语气一字字道：“这一切，都是你害的！”
杜迪安漠然道：“遭遇挫折，如果你懂得责怪自己太愚蠢，至少将来还能有点进步，继续怨天尤人，只能成为一个怨妇，你当初被我擒下时，就该知道自己的下场，你自己没勇气自杀，是我保了你一条小命，说到底，你不该恨我，应该谢谢我才是。”
伊薇特猛地抬头，双眼通红，憎恨地道：“如果不是你说会保我性命，我早就自杀了，也不受你们这些壁内人的屈辱！”
伊薇特一窒，恨恨地看着他，“你想要怎样，你能帮我？ 你会帮我？”
“会不会帮，要看你的态度。” 杜迪安端起茶水喝下，道：“至少你现在的脸上，我看不出你是在恳求我的样子。”
伊薇特险些没吐出一口血，气得有些抓狂，她低下头去，咬着牙道：“你保我性命，无非也是想从我身上得到什么秘密，别说我不知道，就算我知道，也不会告诉你的！”
杜迪安缓缓道：“你先看着我。”
伊薇特微怔，抬头望着杜迪安，眼中依然充满恨意。
杜迪安竖起一根手指，道：“第一，作为一个壁内人，你们入侵我们，我将你擒下，这是我的职责！ 第二，我答应了，等将你送去军部后，会保你一条小命，现在你还活着，所以我说的话，我做到了！
伊薇特看着这少年笑吟吟地表情，心底没由得泛起一阵寒气，她愤恨地道：“你威胁我？”
杜迪安摇头一笑，“我干嘛要威胁你，只是叙说一个事实，即便你死了，我相信你的部落也不愿看见你的遗体，被我们随意糟蹋，一样能换取到我需要的东西，只是麻烦了点罢了，而我这个人呢，喜欢效率，任何效率低的方法，都是我讨厌的，所以，我不想做自己讨厌的事，你懂么？”
伊薇特气得胸口剧烈起伏，她咬了咬牙，道：“只要你能帮我报仇，我知道的，可以告诉你，但你必须先帮我杀死那些该死的侏儒猪！”
杜迪安微笑道：“鞭打你的人，奸~辱你的人，一个都跑不掉的，在这里，我先郑重的跟你介绍一下，我叫杜迪安，职业呢，目前主要有两个，第一是元素神殿的神术大师，第二个呢，是骑士殿堂的黄金荣耀骑士，所以，你完全可以相信，你的要求对我而言，很简单。”
伊薇特怔了怔，作为从小就将外壁区视作敌人的野人王族，对杜迪安说的这两个势力自然再熟悉不过，只是，她有些难以置信，这个年龄看上去比自己还小一点的少年，竟然有如此崇高的地位？ 而这样的人物，竟然还亲自上战场？
“这是我的骑士荣誉勋章，这是神术大师勋章。” 杜迪安从口袋里摸出两枚勋章丢在桌子上，道：“如果你连这勋章都不认识的话，我也不会再多说什么。”
伊薇特看了一眼，第一眼就认出了骑士荣誉勋章，心中吃惊，拿起仔细地打量片刻，确认不是伪冒的，不禁震惊地看着杜迪安，“你，你没说谎？”
杜迪安道：“对你这样的阶下囚，有必要说谎么？”
伊薇特眼角微微抽搐，她忽然发现这个少年的嘴巴很毒，深吸了口气，她说道：“行，我相信你，你想要知道什么？”
杜迪安缓缓道：“顺便告诉你，我是不喜欢麻烦的人，所以希望你一次说清，否则的话，我不介意用硬手段逼你说出来，我可以保证，我的手段比军部更有效，至少我可以找到几千个人来奸~辱你，而他们没这么大胆。”
伊薇特脸色一变，目光变幻不定。
杜迪安淡淡道：“顺便再告诉你一件事，你们野人已经败了，被驱逐出了黄金之壁，若是你不信的话，等会儿我会让我的侍从带你去黄金之壁看一看那里的风景，另外再告诉你一件事，你们野人之所以败了，是因为我造出了一件传奇神术，将你们驱逐了。”
伊薇特勃然变色，震惊地道：“不可能，我，我们不可能败！”
杜迪安淡漠道：“如今军部正在考虑要不要攻打你们野人占据的总部，他们在考虑战争的损失问题，我手里还有很多神术，都可以帮助军部，将你们野人彻底灭绝，但是我不想这么做。”
“如果你愿意信我，只要给我几年时间，我可以让你们野人，将来在外壁区有一席之地，而且永远不会有人驱逐你们！”
“所以，希望你能诚实，对彼此都好。”
伊薇特怔怔地看着他，有那么一个瞬间，她感觉这个少年说的话似乎真的会实现，但仅仅只是一个瞬间的信念动摇，她很快便冷静了下来。

“Master, we brought her back.” Denis came forward.
Dudian nodded slightly and went upstairs: “Take her to my study room.”
“Yes, young master.” Denis nodded.
It didn’t take long for Denis to bring Ivette into Dudian’s study room: “Master, anything else?”
“You should go back and order others to retreat too. Nobody should stay close to the room and disturb us.” Dudian sat in the sofa and poured tea for two.
Denis nodded and gently closed the door. Ivette and Dudian were only two left in the study room.
Dudian glanced at Ivette. He saw that her face was numb, her eyes full. She was standing still. He smiled and said in English: “Come over, sit.”
Ivette was expressionless like a tree.
Dudian’s eyebrows wrinkled as he got up and walked to stop in front of her. He raised his hands to shook in front of her. Suddenly, Ivette shot at Dudian and tried to lock onto his throat.
Dudian’s eyes lit up as his upper body swayed and he caught her with his hand. He grabbed her by shoulders and pushed her body backwards. Her body hit the door and some dust fell off because of the shock to the door.
Ivette’s hands rushed over at Dudian. Her fingers were like claws.
Dudian waved with his arms and blocked her. He hit her chest and pushed her back again. Dudian’s hand grasped her throat: “Do you want to die?” Ivette stopped as she looked at him with eyes full of resentment.
“Do you want to continue to attack? Even if you kill me you will be dead!” Dudian coldly continued: “Moreover you won’t be able to kill me with your strength.”
Ivette bit her lips. Blood oozed out but she was unaware. She still stared back at Dudian as if a beast was looking at a human.
“Do you hate me?” Dudian didn’t sympathize with the barbarian girl: “No matter what you think in your hurt if you live in my house then you have to follow my rules. Unless you want to suffer ten times more insult than in the military!”
He slowly loosened his fingers. However she still stared back at him with eyes full of hate and anger. But there was a bit of faint fear.
Dudian turned back to the sofa and sat down. He pointed to the seat opposite to him: “Come over and sit.”
Ivette’s hands were trembling as if she was a patient in a mental institution. She step by step walked. Her feet seemed to be heavy. She sat opposite to Dudian and stared at him.
“Are you dumb or did they cut off your tongue?” Dudian chuckled as he gave her a cup.
Ivette’s chest went up and down sharply as her fingers clenched into a fist. Dudian snorted: “You may hate my strength but you better beg me as maybe I will help you get your revenge on the one who rap3d and humiliated you. ”
Ivette’s body slightly trembled as she heard the word ‘rap3.’ There was a trace of anger in her eyes. Her face was pale as she slowly bowed down her head. After a moment she said in a hoarse tone: “It’s all because of you!”
Dudian indifferently replied: “You should stop blaming others because of the setbacks. If you continue to complain at best you will become a good wife. You should be aware of your fate when you were captured by me. You didn’t have courage to commit suicide so I have you my word to keep your little life. In the end I actually did. You should not hate me but thank me!”
Ivette’s eyes were flushed: “I would have committed suicide long ago if you didn’t promise to protect my life. I would not have gone through the humiliation!” Dudian replied: “Dead people can’t take revenge.”
Ivette bitterly stared at him: “What do you want? Can you help me? Will you help me?”
“Depending on your attitude.” Dudian took a sip from the cup: “Right now I don’t see you trying to plead…”
Ivette almost spat out mouthful of blood. She bowed her head and bit her lips: “You want to get secrets from me so you have protected my life. I won’t tell you even if I knew…”
Dudian looked at her: “Look at me.”
Ivette looked up at him in anger.
Dudian raised his fingers: “First, your people tried to invade us. It was my duty to capture you! Second, First, as a wall of people, you invade us, I will you under the capture, this is my duty! Second, I said that your life will be spared and you weren’t killed. Third I can impose the torture hundred times more worser than military have done! ”
Ivette wasn’t scared as she said in an angry tone: “Are you threatening me?”
Dudian shook his head: “Why should I threaten you? I’m just standing the fact. I believe your tribe wouldn’t be interested in your corpse and we are free to spoil it. Don’t trouble me too much as I like to solve problems in an efficient way. I hate inefficiency. So don’t force me to do something which I hate. Am I clear?”
“I will tell you everything that I know if you can help me with revenge! I want you to help me to kill that damned dwarf pig!” Ivette replied.
“Its better this way. We are saving time.” Dudian continued: “The man who was responsible for doing what he did to you will stay in here. He can’t get away or run. Now lets talk about me. My name is Dean. I have two main occupations. I’m a master architect from the Temple and a golden knight from the Knight’s Hall. I’m telling this to you so you know that your request is very simple for me.”
Ivette as a part of the royal family of the barbarians was aware of two forces that Dudian had told. The kid had such a high status though his age looked smaller than hers! And why would such a person act personally on the battlefield?
“This if my medal from the Knight’s Hall and this is my medal from the Temple.” Dudian took out two medals and put them on the table: “I won’t know what to say if you don’t even know what these medals mean. ”
Ivette recognized the knight medal from the first sight. She picked it up to carefully check it and confirm that its not face. She looked at Dudian: “Are-are you lying?”
Dudian said: “Why would I?”
Ivette’s eyelids twitched. She found that the boy’s mouth was sharp and insensitive. She took a deep breath: “Alright, I believe you. What do you want to know?”
“Everything you know.” Dudian slowly said: “By the way, I know when people lie. Know that I don’t mind choosing the hard way to take out that knowledge from you. I can assure you that my means are more effective than the military’s. At least I can find thousands to humiliate you.”
Ivette’s face changed.
Dudian lightly said: “One more thing. The barbarians have been defeated and were expelled from the golden wall. I can let my attendants take you to the golden wall to see the sight if you don’t believe me. The barbarians lost because of the weapon created by me!”
Ivette was shocked: “Impossible! We can’t lose!”
“I can send you personally to verify the case. I don’t need to tell a lie.” Dudian indifferently said: “The military is considering to attack your headquarters. I got lots of inventions and can help the military to completely erase the barbarians but I don’t want to do so.”
“If you are willing to believe then give me few years of time! I can make sure that there will be a place in outer wall for barbarians and noone will expel you out!”
“I hope you will be honest.”
Ivette stared at him. She felt that the boy could really achieve the things what he said. However her faith was shaken so she calmed her mind.

At the moment when Liu Xian was about to cut his own throat, Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi broke out of his finger.\nHowever, unlike the surrounding people, the sword qi did not point at the sword in Liu Xian's hand but at the big river under his feet.\nThere was a big explosion sound. The river water splashed up into the sky as the sword qi wreaked havoc, and many fish and shrimps met cruel death. And at the bottom of the river, the angry roar of the beast came.\nThere was a big explosion sound. The river water splashed up into the sky as the sword qi wreaked havoc, and many fish and shrimps met cruel death. And at the bottom of the river, the angry roar of the beast came. The head of the team, Ouyang Shang, who had a tacit understanding with Wang Lu, shouted loudly, \"Go!\"\nThe next moment, feeling the provocation intent, the beasts at the bottom of the river completely erupted out of their sleep. A deep blue ice cone soared up from the river as a huge spine enveloped and froze everyone within it. At the critical time, Wang Lu activated his Non-Phase Sword while Ouyang Shang launched his Earth Shrink Technique at the same time, bumping with the ice cone head on.\nAfter a dull 'bang' sound, the two were flung to the sky by the recoil force, but the freezing of the ice cone was suspended for a moment. The rest of the people no longer dared to hesitate to escape. Under the deterrent of the behemoth at the bottom of the river, any entanglement and hesitation were immediately swept away. Only the will to survive occupied everything.\nThe next moment, behind the crowd, a straight to the sky ice cone finally condensed fully. The fish in the river and the birds in the sky were all frozen in icicles, and their vitality disappeared! If the spine of this ice cone was tilted slightly, the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect would not be spared either.\nThe crisis had not ended, however. The beast's attack had been blocked, but as the ruler of this great river, the giant beast had countless of underlings. At this time, they began to make their move to interfere with the actions of the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.\nSome spun on the river to form a whirlpool, some covered the sky in a thick fog, others bombarded them with long-range attacks, and some simply jumped out of the water and intercepted them.\nAlthough these underlings were just lackeys in this great river, many actually had amazing strength. Among them, several blue crabs had already successfully formed an inner core, meaning that they already had the strength of a Jindan Stage cultivator!\nAt this time, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu were still focused on the giant beast and thus had no time for distraction. While the rest of the team members were elites, they just didn't have the kind of assaulter who could lead the team out of trouble. There were more than a hundred people in the golden generation, but very rarely were there accomplished attackers among them.\nAt the critical moment, Liu Xian roared. Bathed in golden light, his body's magical power surged up astonishingly.\n\"You… You're burning your innate vitality!\" Besides him, Xie Mingxian was amazed. \"After just reaching Xudan Stage, you rashly used your innate vitality…\"\n\"It's my atonement!\" Liu Xian roared and then the flying sword in his hand turned into a golden bridge that led to the front. Where the bridge was facing, all the monsters were swept away. Several blue crabs swayed and were forced to stand their ground.\n\"Everyone keep up!\" Xie Mingxian no longer hesitated. He also burned his innate vitality to help Liu Xian so that the golden bridge became more solid.\nThen, the rest of them quickly followed, strengthening the bridge with their own strength and then rushed forward along the bridge, no one could stop them!\nThe great river was wide, but it still has an end. After an unknown amount of time, the golden bridge finally arrived at the river bank. When it came to the shore, it was no longer within the power sphere of the great river, so the underlings had to reluctantly turn back. Their attention was now turned toward the two people who were still hovering over the river.\nWang Lu and Ouyang Shang never kept up with the golden bridge. Not because they had great confidence, but because of the giant beast at the bottom of the river, which only they could resist, barely, for one or two times. Thus, they had to stay behind. Of course, although neither of them had the confidence to win, they had enough means to deter the opponent from launching a full-scale war.\nWang Lu put away his Non-Phase Sword Art and activated the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi to the max. The two sword qi filled the air and smashed the space, as if ripping apart the yin and yang. Ouyang Shang also activated his spiritual treasure level flying sword in front of his chest. His sword was like the wave, where it passed, water vapor seemed to appear as if a drought had come. Ouyang Shang was naturally close to the earth, with soil base Heavenly Spirit Root body. This should be a good defensive trait, but after transforming his ability, he became the natural enemy of aquatic creatures—drought.\nThe two of them gave up their defense and assumed the full offensive stance. They might, in fact, be defeated if the huge river beast really wanted to fight, but before that, they could give their opponent a serious injury that could not be healed forever. This was not due to how solid their cultivation base was, but due to the supreme effect of the immortal level method of Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi. Immortal level method was the accumulation and crystallization of the thousands of years of tireless effort of human cultivators seeking the path to immortality, which was also the basic reason why human cultivators ruled the world. And for such an opponent, there were not many monsters that were willing to fight it.\nIt was hard for monsters to become immortal. For the huge river beast to become so powerful, it had to spend thousands of years of cultivation and pass countless disasters. On the other hand, human cultivators often would achieve the same cultivation base in a hundred years. Thus, unless it was necessary, they were rarely willing to fight the human cultivators in a life and death fight.\nIn the end, the beast at the bottom of the river did not choose to make its move, but instead just left the two of them. After that, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang hovered over the river at a high altitude for a while. After seeing that the situation had been settled, they finally followed the team and crossed the river to take a break at the river bank.\nWhen they landed, the two of them swayed and, as if by prior agreement, threw up black blood—that was the price for facing the ice cone head on. However, after vomiting blood, the two men's countenance turned reddish. Apparently, they had completely suppressed their injury.\nHowever, right now, the focus of the team was not the two of them. The others had gathered around in a circle, with Liu Xian sitting cross-legged in the middle.\nSeeing the arrival of Ouyang Shang, they consciously opened up a way for him. Ouyang Shang didn't say much. After walking a few steps forward, he came up to Liu Xian then put his hand on top of the latter's head. Using the method of anointing the head with the purest cream, Ouyang Shang helped Liu Xian straighten out the irascible Void Core power inside the latter's Jade Mansion, and used the pure immortal spirit qi from inside his Golden Core to complement the innate vitality deficit.\nAfter a while, Liu Xian, showed a slight improvement in his complexion. He took a deep breath, stood up, and then gave a salute to his Senior Brother.\nOuyang Shang nodded, and then looked around at everyone else. \"Do you guys understand?\"\nXie Mingxian and the others nodded, and then looked at Wang Lu with gratitude. Liu Xian, in particular, made a deep bow that he almost prostrated himself on the ground.\nJust now on the great river, Liu Xian was unlucky to be controlled by the demon race and attacked Wang Wu. After he got control of his body back, he was faced with the collapsing trust situation.\nWas a person who once been controlled by a demon still trustworthy? Or in other words, how to prove that he was him, and not the demon in disguise?\nThis was actually an unsolvable problem because previously, the disguise of Li Xi was flawless, and he was unable to prove his innocence. Thus, Wang Lu took the matter to his own hand by providing them with the opportunity.\nSimply speaking, it was by fighting with their lives.\nThe thing called trust was originally not purely rational. Trying to justify it with rationality would only make one fall into the trap. But the simplest way was to use blood and feeling.\nWhen people saw that Liu Xian, at the risk of dying, determined to burn his innate vitality to strengthen the golden bridge, their big doubts eventually disappeared—the members of the golden generation had deep emotional bond, so they only needed a chance to rebuild the trust.\nWang Lu provided this chance at the fastest speed, and Liu Xian did not disappoint by immediately seizing this chance. And now, people have forgotten Liu Xian's past of being controlled by the demon and accepted him back as their brothers.\nOf course, strictly speaking, there were many seemingly far-fetched things in this. For example, the aim of Wang Lu's action was too deliberate. Liu Xian's action was likely to be just a camouflage, but was there any difference? Since the demon could control Liu Xian without anyone knowing it, anyone else could also be controlled. Blind suspicion was pointless, so as long as the feelings were justified, that was enough.\nThe purpose of the demon in making this move was to destroy the trust among the members of the golden generation, while the mission of Spirit Sword Sect's cultivators was to protect this trust. This round's confrontation obviously went to Spirit Sword Sect. At the same time, if the demon had no new tricks, the next round of confrontation would still be won by the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.\nAfter reorganizing the team, Ouyang Shang said, \"The distance to the Blessed Fountain is very close, so we all must work hard, we will not rest until we arrive there.\"\nOne day later, the team arrived at Blessed Fountain.\nMore than half of the golden generation had gathered in the base at Blessed Fountain. Since both Wang Donghua and Shen Yiwen died in the Ghost Weeping Forest, Ouyang Shang had sent a letter to Blessed Fountain from the temporary base outside Ghost Weeping Forest, asking them to find a way to contact everyone else to gather at Blessed Fountain as soon as possible.\nFor an opponent that could appear and disappear mysteriously and have unpredictable means, it was impossible to let the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect continue to act independently in the Savage Land, no matter how radical their training policy was.\nAfter arriving at Blessed Fountain base, the first thing that Ouyang Shang asked was, \"Is there a reply from the sect?\"\nYang Fei who came to greet him had expected that his Big Brother would raise this very question—he already had a smile plastered on his face.\nContained within that smiling face was the confidence in already having the victory at hand."

第四十章
论出手果断，少有人能比得上王陆。 在刘显即将引剑自刎的瞬间，混沌破天剑气破体而出。
然而和周围人预料不同，剑气并非指向刘显手剑，而是刺向脚下的大河。
轰隆巨响，河水冲天而起，剑气肆虐，河不少鱼虾粉身碎骨。 而河底，巨兽苏醒时的愤怒咆哮滚滚而来。
这一声怒吼用上了金丹真气，震慑人心的功效丝毫不亚于禅宗狮吼，声浪四散，压住了河底巨兽的咆哮，震得大河波涛翻滚，河上灵剑修士们也是心簇神摇，浑身法力不由自主地翻腾起来，身躯更是如同被外力吸引着，跟随欧阳商向前行去。
下一刻，河底巨兽感受到了挑衅的意味，自沉睡完全爆发，一道深蓝色的冰锥自河底冲天而起，巨大的椎体将所有人都笼罩在其冰冻范围之内，而千钧一发之际，王陆的无相剑与欧阳商的虚空土盾同时出手，与冰锥正面碰了一下。
沉闷的巨响后，两人被反冲之力直推上天，但冰锥的凝冻也因此暂缓了一刻。 其余人不敢迟疑，全力逃遁，在河底巨兽的威慑下，这一刻任何纠结、迟疑都一扫而光，唯有求生的意志占据一切。
下一刻，众人身后，一道直贯云霄的冰锥凝结成形，河游鱼直到天空的飞鸟，全数冻结在冰柱，生机泯灭而若非这道冰锥的椎体在半截微微偏转了少许，灵剑派的一行人也难以幸免。
危机并未结束，巨兽的攻击被挡下来，但巨兽作为大河之主，手下的虾兵蟹将却数不胜数，此时纷纷跳了出来，各施妖术开始于扰灵剑弟们的行动。
有的卷动河水形成旋涡，有的布下浓雾遮天蔽日，还有的以手妖器远程轰击，还有的于脆跳出水面，正面拦截。
这些虾兵蟹将虽然只是大河的杂兵，但却不乏实力惊人之辈，其几头青蟹成精的更是内丹饱满，光华溢彩，俨然已有金丹级修士的实力。
此时欧阳商和王陆仍在提防巨兽本人，无暇分心出手相助。 而队其他人虽都是同辈精锐，却恰好没有那种能够一往无前带领队伍摆脱困境的突击手——黄金一代上下百人，堪称突击手的也非常罕见。
关键时刻，刘显一声咆哮，浑身沐浴在金色的光芒，惊人的法力波动澎湃激荡。
“你……你在燃烧先天元气？”
“是我的赎罪”刘显放声怒吼，手飞剑化为一道直通前方的金桥，桥身所向，群魔溃散，几头青蟹也身形摇摆，被逼迫地立足不稳。
“大家跟上”谢明弦也不再迟疑，同样燃起先天元气，以助刘显一臂之力，令金桥变得更为凝实。
而唯一有能力打破金桥的巨兽，却不知出于什么原因，始终没有再出手。
大河宽阔，终有尽头，不知过了多久，金桥末端终于搭上了河岸，而到了岸上，就不再是大河精怪的势力范围，虾兵蟹将们纷纷不甘心地退了回去。 然后将注意力转移到仍在河上盘旋的两人身上。
王陆和欧阳商始终没有跟上金桥，并非是托大自信，而是因为大河深处的那头巨兽，只有他们才能勉强抵挡一二，所以他们必须留下断后。 当然，对上那等段数的精怪，他们两人也没有取胜的信心，但却有足够的手段令对手心生忌惮，不敢贸然挑起全面战争。
而欧阳商也将手灵宝级的飞剑祭在胸前，剑光如波，所过之处水汽蒸腾，如同大旱降临。 欧阳商天生与大地亲切，尤胜土行天灵根的土德之体，这本该是擅长防守的特质，但他将这份能力变换使用方式后，却俨然化身成了水生物的天敌——旱魃。 两人都是放弃防守，全力进攻的姿态，若是大河巨兽真的要不惜死战，他们或许不敌，却能给对手留下永生无法痊愈的重伤。
这并非他们的修为境界有多坚实，而是混沌破天剑气这等仙级功法的无上功效。 仙级功法，数万年来人类修士孜孜不倦求仙向道的积累结晶，也是人类修士统治天下的根本原因。
精怪得道不易，如大河巨兽这样的强者，多半是要修行千年之久，度过无数劫难。 而人类却往往百年之内就有同等修为，所以除非必要，精怪很少愿意和人类作生死之斗。
最终，河底的巨兽也没有选择出手，放任两人离开。 王陆与欧阳商在高空盘旋了一阵后，见形势已定，便紧跟上渡河的队伍，在岸边稍作休整。
落地时，两人不约而同地身形摇摆，吐出黑血——那是正面抵挡冰锥的代价。 但吐血之后，两人面色却红润了许多，显然已经将伤势完全压抑下来。
不过现在队伍的关注焦点已经不是他们两人，众人围成一圈，间则是盘膝而坐的刘显。
见欧阳商到来，众人自觉地分出空地，欧阳商也不多言，几步上前来到刘显身后，然后出手按在刘显头顶，以醍醐灌顶之术，助其理顺玉府内暴躁的虚丹力量，并以金丹之至精至纯的仙灵之气为其弥补先天元气的亏空。
片刻之后，刘显脸色微微好转，深深吸了口气后站起身来，然后向师兄拱手一礼。
欧阳商点点头，然后目光看向其他人：“大家，明白了吗？”
谢明弦等人纷纷点头，然后感激地看了看王陆。 尤其刘显，更是深深躬下身去，几乎要行跪拜大礼。
方才在大河之上，刘显不幸被魔族控制心神，下手偷袭王舞，之后虽然恢复了神智，却面临一个信任崩溃的局面。
一个被魔族附体操控过的人，是否还值得信赖？ 或者说，要如何证明他是本人，而非魔族的伪装？
这其实是一道无解的难题，因为先前李希那完美无瑕的伪装，令任何自证清白的行为都显得无力。 于是王陆主动出手，提供了一个机会出来。
简单来说，拿命来拼。
信任这个东西，本来就不是纯粹发乎理智的，想要理智的证明只会陷入陷阱，而最简单的方法就是用热血和感情。
当人们亲眼目睹谢明弦不惜冒着身陨道消的危险，毅然燃烧先天元气铸成金桥的时候，再大的怀疑也会烟消云散——黄金一代本就有极深的感情羁绊，要重建信任，本也只需要一个契机罢了。
王陆以最快的速度提供出契机，而刘显也不负所望，抓住了这个契机，如今人们已经忘记了刘显被魔王控制的过去，重新接纳他为手足弟兄。
当然，如果真要较真，这里面的确有许多看似牵强之处，比如王陆出手的目的太刻意了，刘显方才的行为很可能只是魔族的伪装，但是与不是又有什么区别呢？ 魔族既然能神不知鬼不觉地控制刘显，同样也可能控制其他任何人，盲目的怀疑根本毫无意义。
只要感情上说得过去就足够了。 魔族的这一步棋是为了摧毁黄金一代的信任，而灵剑修士的任务就是保护住这份信任，而这一回合的交锋，很显然是灵剑派赢了。 同时，若是魔族没有新的把戏，下一回合的交锋，依然会是灵剑弟们取胜。
重新整理过队伍后，欧阳商说道：“距离福泉基地已经很近了，接下来大家辛苦一点，不要休息，全力赶路吧。”
一天后，众人赶到福泉。
福泉基地，已经聚集了超过半数的黄金一代。 自王东桦、沈一闻双双在鬼哭林殒命后，欧阳商就在鬼哭林外的临时基地向福泉发了信函，要求他们想办法联系其他所有人，尽快聚集在福泉基地。
对手神出鬼没，手段莫测，而且明显是在针对灵剑弟，这个时候再怎么激进地培养方针，也不可能放任灵剑弟在荒蛮之地自由行动了。
赶到福泉基地后，欧阳商第一时间问道：“山门有回信了吗？”
前来迎接的杨飞早料到大师兄会提这个问题，脸上扬起笑容。
笑容，蕴含着胜券在握的信心。

Chapter 521: You Have New Information, Please Check It Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
On decisiveness, few people could be compared to Wang Lu. At the moment when Liu Xian was about to cut his own throat, Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi broke out of his finger.
However, unlike the surrounding people, the sword qi did not point at the sword in Liu Xian's hand but at the big river under his feet.
There was a big explosion sound. The river water splashed up into the sky as the sword qi wreaked havoc, and many fish and shrimps met cruel death. And at the bottom of the river, the angry roar of the beast came.
There was a big explosion sound. The river water splashed up into the sky as the sword qi wreaked havoc, and many fish and shrimps met cruel death. And at the bottom of the river, the angry roar of the beast came. The head of the team, Ouyang Shang, who had a tacit understanding with Wang Lu, shouted loudly, "Go!"
The next moment, feeling the provocation intent, the beasts at the bottom of the river completely erupted out of their sleep. A deep blue ice cone soared up from the river as a huge spine enveloped and froze everyone within it. At the critical time, Wang Lu activated his Non-Phase Sword while Ouyang Shang launched his Earth Shrink Technique at the same time, bumping with the ice cone head on.
After a dull 'bang' sound, the two were flung to the sky by the recoil force, but the freezing of the ice cone was suspended for a moment. The rest of the people no longer dared to hesitate to escape. Under the deterrent of the behemoth at the bottom of the river, any entanglement and hesitation were immediately swept away. Only the will to survive occupied everything.
The next moment, behind the crowd, a straight to the sky ice cone finally condensed fully. The fish in the river and the birds in the sky were all frozen in icicles, and their vitality disappeared! If the spine of this ice cone was tilted slightly, the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect would not be spared either.
The crisis had not ended, however. The beast's attack had been blocked, but as the ruler of this great river, the giant beast had countless of underlings. At this time, they began to make their move to interfere with the actions of the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
Some spun on the river to form a whirlpool, some covered the sky in a thick fog, others bombarded them with long-range attacks, and some simply jumped out of the water and intercepted them.
Although these underlings were just lackeys in this great river, many actually had amazing strength. Among them, several blue crabs had already successfully formed an inner core, meaning that they already had the strength of a Jindan Stage cultivator!
At this time, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu were still focused on the giant beast and thus had no time for distraction. While the rest of the team members were elites, they just didn't have the kind of assaulter who could lead the team out of trouble. There were more than a hundred people in the golden generation, but very rarely were there accomplished attackers among them.
At the critical moment, Liu Xian roared. Bathed in golden light, his body's magical power surged up astonishingly.
"You… You're burning your innate vitality!" Besides him, Xie Mingxian was amazed. "After just reaching Xudan Stage, you rashly used your innate vitality…"
"It's my atonement!" Liu Xian roared and then the flying sword in his hand turned into a golden bridge that led to the front. Where the bridge was facing, all the monsters were swept away. Several blue crabs swayed and were forced to stand their ground.
"Everyone keep up!" Xie Mingxian no longer hesitated. He also burned his innate vitality to help Liu Xian so that the golden bridge became more solid.
Then, the rest of them quickly followed, strengthening the bridge with their own strength and then rushed forward along the bridge, no one could stop them!
The great river was wide, but it still has an end. After an unknown amount of time, the golden bridge finally arrived at the river bank. When it came to the shore, it was no longer within the power sphere of the great river, so the underlings had to reluctantly turn back. Their attention was now turned toward the two people who were still hovering over the river.
Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang never kept up with the golden bridge. Not because they had great confidence, but because of the giant beast at the bottom of the river, which only they could resist, barely, for one or two times. Thus, they had to stay behind. Of course, although neither of them had the confidence to win, they had enough means to deter the opponent from launching a full-scale war.
Wang Lu put away his Non-Phase Sword Art and activated the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi to the max. The two sword qi filled the air and smashed the space, as if ripping apart the yin and yang. Ouyang Shang also activated his spiritual treasure level flying sword in front of his chest. His sword was like the wave, where it passed, water vapor seemed to appear as if a drought had come. Ouyang Shang was naturally close to the earth, with soil base Heavenly Spirit Root body. This should be a good defensive trait, but after transforming his ability, he became the natural enemy of aquatic creatures—drought.
The two of them gave up their defense and assumed the full offensive stance. They might, in fact, be defeated if the huge river beast really wanted to fight, but before that, they could give their opponent a serious injury that could not be healed forever. This was not due to how solid their cultivation base was, but due to the supreme effect of the immortal level method of Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi. Immortal level method was the accumulation and crystallization of the thousands of years of tireless effort of human cultivators seeking the path to immortality, which was also the basic reason why human cultivators ruled the world. And for such an opponent, there were not many monsters that were willing to fight it.
It was hard for monsters to become immortal. For the huge river beast to become so powerful, it had to spend thousands of years of cultivation and pass countless disasters. On the other hand, human cultivators often would achieve the same cultivation base in a hundred years. Thus, unless it was necessary, they were rarely willing to fight the human cultivators in a life and death fight.
In the end, the beast at the bottom of the river did not choose to make its move, but instead just left the two of them. After that, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang hovered over the river at a high altitude for a while. After seeing that the situation had been settled, they finally followed the team and crossed the river to take a break at the river bank.
When they landed, the two of them swayed and, as if by prior agreement, threw up black blood—that was the price for facing the ice cone head on. However, after vomiting blood, the two men's countenance turned reddish. Apparently, they had completely suppressed their injury.
However, right now, the focus of the team was not the two of them. The others had gathered around in a circle, with Liu Xian sitting cross-legged in the middle.
Seeing the arrival of Ouyang Shang, they consciously opened up a way for him. Ouyang Shang didn't say much. After walking a few steps forward, he came up to Liu Xian then put his hand on top of the latter's head. Using the method of anointing the head with the purest cream, Ouyang Shang helped Liu Xian straighten out the irascible Void Core power inside the latter's Jade Mansion, and used the pure immortal spirit qi from inside his Golden Core to complement the innate vitality deficit.
After a while, Liu Xian, showed a slight improvement in his complexion. He took a deep breath, stood up, and then gave a salute to his Senior Brother.
Ouyang Shang nodded, and then looked around at everyone else. "Do you guys understand?"
Xie Mingxian and the others nodded, and then looked at Wang Lu with gratitude. Liu Xian, in particular, made a deep bow that he almost prostrated himself on the ground.
Just now on the great river, Liu Xian was unlucky to be controlled by the demon race and attacked Wang Wu. After he got control of his body back, he was faced with the collapsing trust situation.
Was a person who once been controlled by a demon still trustworthy? Or in other words, how to prove that he was him, and not the demon in disguise?
This was actually an unsolvable problem because previously, the disguise of Li Xi was flawless, and he was unable to prove his innocence. Thus, Wang Lu took the matter to his own hand by providing them with the opportunity.
Simply speaking, it was by fighting with their lives.
The thing called trust was originally not purely rational. Trying to justify it with rationality would only make one fall into the trap. But the simplest way was to use blood and feeling.
When people saw that Liu Xian, at the risk of dying, determined to burn his innate vitality to strengthen the golden bridge, their big doubts eventually disappeared—the members of the golden generation had deep emotional bond, so they only needed a chance to rebuild the trust.
Wang Lu provided this chance at the fastest speed, and Liu Xian did not disappoint by immediately seizing this chance. And now, people have forgotten Liu Xian's past of being controlled by the demon and accepted him back as their brothers.
Of course, strictly speaking, there were many seemingly far-fetched things in this. For example, the aim of Wang Lu's action was too deliberate. Liu Xian's action was likely to be just a camouflage, but was there any difference? Since the demon could control Liu Xian without anyone knowing it, anyone else could also be controlled. Blind suspicion was pointless, so as long as the feelings were justified, that was enough.
The purpose of the demon in making this move was to destroy the trust among the members of the golden generation, while the mission of Spirit Sword Sect's cultivators was to protect this trust. This round's confrontation obviously went to Spirit Sword Sect. At the same time, if the demon had no new tricks, the next round of confrontation would still be won by the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
After reorganizing the team, Ouyang Shang said, "The distance to the Blessed Fountain is very close, so we all must work hard, we will not rest until we arrive there."
One day later, the team arrived at Blessed Fountain.
More than half of the golden generation had gathered in the base at Blessed Fountain. Since both Wang Donghua and Shen Yiwen died in the Ghost Weeping Forest, Ouyang Shang had sent a letter to Blessed Fountain from the temporary base outside Ghost Weeping Forest, asking them to find a way to contact everyone else to gather at Blessed Fountain as soon as possible.
For an opponent that could appear and disappear mysteriously and have unpredictable means, it was impossible to let the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect continue to act independently in the Savage Land, no matter how radical their training policy was.
After arriving at Blessed Fountain base, the first thing that Ouyang Shang asked was, "Is there a reply from the sect?"
Yang Fei who came to greet him had expected that his Big Brother would raise this very question—he already had a smile plastered on his face.
Contained within that smiling face was the confidence in already having the victory at hand.

"value": "Chapter 96 - Sorrow at the Height of Happiness\n“Even the Spirit Root plays tricks and creates trouble as well?” Wang Baole stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the illusory figure that was laughing. He was slightly suspicious, more so than being afraid. After all, before he arrived, he had gained a brief understanding of the True Breath Spirit Root through the jade slip given by the Chancellor, and he was aware that they contained Spirit Intelligence.\nHe had wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but at that instant, the imaginary figure seemed to have sensed him and abruptly turned around, revealing a face without any facial features. Within his body, a seven-inch root was also apparent.\n“Seven inches, huh?” Wang Baole was deflated. He knew that what he was looking for right now as a Spirit Root that was not only an inch long but also fated with him.\n“I didn’t think it would be challenging when I came, but now that I’ve experienced it, it’s so difficult!” Wang Baole said as he scratched his head. As he sighed and turned to leave, very suddenly, at this moment, the faceless seven-inch Spirit Root began glowing after seeing Wang Baole. Its face became blurry, and its body expanded rapidly.\n“Hmm?” This scene bewildered Wang Baole. In front of his eyes, he saw the seven-inch Spirit Root expand its body, with facial features appearing, all within the time span of a few breaths. Even clothing appeared on it, and eventually, it transformed into a figure that looked exactly like himself!\nWitnessing everything, Wang Baole’s eyes immediately lit up, and he was filled with excitement.\nThis was despite knowing from the jade slip given by the Chancellor that once the True Breath had chosen someone that it could get along with, it would begin attacking him. Only when he successfully dispersed it could it be absorbed.\nOn a certain level, this could be considered good news. If the Spirit Root decided to harass someone, it meant that they were loyal. Once one reached the capability to absorb it, they could still do so.\n“Hah! You sure have a keen eye, choosing me after recognizing that I’m the most handsome one out of everyone in this test, isn’t it?” Wang Baole laughed smugly, immediately moving backward to attract the Spirit Root to follow him.\nThe moment Wang Baole moved, the seven-inch Spirit Root flashed and growled, rushing quickly toward him. The two collided instantly, and the impact caused a boom that spread in all directions. The seven-inch Spirit Root was blasted hundreds of feet away after hitting Wang Baole, while the surprised Wang Baole was also pushed back by the impact. This seven-inch Spirit Root has such great strength!\nWang Baole was taken aback. He knew that the fighting capabilities that he possessed now meant that even the Head Prefect of the Combat faculty might not be able to withstand the punch that he had just thrown. However, the fact that the seven-inch Spirit Root could resist the impact and vibration caused Wang Baole’s entire body to vibrate in surprise, despite the fact that it was still blasted away.\nIf it were someone else, it is likely that they could not stand it. However, I will persevere!\nWang Baole thought and immediately began running at lightning speed toward the area outside the forests. A growl followed him as the seven-inch Spirit Root chased after him.\n“Come on, Spirit Root! I’m right here! Come after me!” Wang Baole was afraid that the seven-inch Spirit Root would not be able to catch up, so he shouted time and again in order to catch its attention.\nAs he ran, Wang Baole was filled with glee. Every time he turned to look at the figure of himself chasing after him, he was impressed by how suave he looked. He was extremely delighted, to the extent that his voice, which he directed in the form of shouts, also sounded cheerful.\n“Handsome Spirit Root, come on! Don’t give up, you’ll catch up with me in no time!”\nAs if it were agitated by Wang Baole’s voice, the seven-inch Spirit Root growled even louder, its speed increasing significantly as well.\nVery quickly, as the area covered by Wang Baole increased, the students from the four major Dao Colleges who happened to be near all saw what was happening. Initially, when they first heard Wang Baole’s voice, they were confused and were even more surprised when they saw Wang Baole dashing passed them, followed by the seven-inch Spirit Root.\n“A seven-inch Spirit Root! That fatso, how lucky he is to have met a seven-inch Spirit Root that’s fated with him!”\n“Gosh! Seven-inch Spirit Roots are rare to begin with. Not only did he meet one, but the one that he has met is also fated with him. What unbelievable luck!”\n“He’s actually baiting the seven-inch Spirit Root to follow him. This method is typically used on Spirit Roots less than five inches. The combat capabilities of the seven-inch Spirit Roots are extremely high. It’s like he’s playing with fire.”\nAs Wang Baole sped, he met even more students from the four major Dao College. Everyone froze in shock when they saw Wang Baole and the seven-inch Spirit Root that followed closely after him.\nWithin the group of students, there were also some from Ethereal Dao College. When they saw Wang Baole dashing past and the Spirit Root that had morphed into his appearance, they were all filled with envy and rich emotions.\n“The Triple Head Prefect of our Ethereal Dao College’s Dharmic Armament is indeed extraordinary! Even his lure of the Spirit Root is unusual!”\nWang Baole noticed the facial expressions and discussions of everyone he met on the way. That made him even more smug as he thought about how capable he was. The fact that the seven-inch Spirit Root was pursuing him meant that he had a greater advantage compared to the others.\nIf only I could meet a six-inch Spirit Root, that would be great!\nThe figures of the three Spirit Roots seemed to have sensed him. They had originally been moving further away, but they stopped abruptly, turning around at the same time, and vibrated once strongly the moment they looked toward Wang Baole. Their bodies expanded and contorted, and as Wang Baole was filled with disbelief, the three Spirit Roots quickly morphed into figures that looked exactly like him!\n“Three five-inch-long ones!” Wang Baole was dazed, looking at the five-inch Spirit Roots that had adopted his looks rushing toward him while howling. He was incredulous at the sight unfolding before his eyes.\n“So, every one of them likes me and is fated with me, huh?” Wang Baole took a deep breath. Even though he was surprised, he still felt that something was amiss. However, he did not have time to think much, for the seven-inch Spirit Root was fast catching up. Therefore, he jolted and began running swiftly, with a seven-inch and three five-inch Spirit Roots that had transformed into four separate figures with his exact appearance howling and pursuing him.\nCould it be that I am too handsome?\nWang Baole was confused. Even though he felt that something was not right, he was more delighted and happy than anything. However, his delight did not last long before Wang Baole began to feel anxious.\nIf it were just the four Spirit Roots, that would have been fine. The thing that made Wang Baole feel was absurd was that as he ran, he met even more Spirit Roots, and all of the Spirit Roots that came across Wang Baole would instantly morph into him and begin their pursuit.\nIn the end, even Wang Baole’s scalp began to feel numb. There were now over thirty fatties chasing after him, most of them more than three-inches-long. Their eyes were all reddened, and they howled continuously as they pursued Wang Baole ferociously.\nWhat on earth is happening?\nWang Baole was frightened. He no longer felt joy and was instead incredulous at the situation. That was especially so as all the Spirit Roots pursuing him had immense strength, capable of eliciting pain through a single attack. With the thirty of them combined, their force strengthened, causing a thunder-like boom to be produced as they ran on the ground.\nAs the sound spread, it attracted the attention of even more Spirit Roots, which transformed into Wang Baole the moment they saw him. The numbers grew exponentially, reaching the hundreds!\nAs a result, Wang Baole broke out in cold sweat. He felt immensely helpless and confused, realizing that once he stopped running, he would be rounded up and attacked by hundreds of himself.\nThere must be something wrong, damn it! There are hundreds of Spirit Roots here, but why isn’t there one less than three inches? I only need a one-inch Spirit Root!\nWang Baole was nervous and moved even faster, leading the huge group of Fatties, which was growing in number, as he ran without stopping in the Spirit Breath Village.\nThe commotion was huge, catching the attention of greater numbers of people. The students who witnessed the scene all stared unblinkingly, gasping in shock as they felt that the entire scene was too surprising! “This… what kind of quality is this?”\n“Could it be that this fatty’s talent is so extraordinary that so many Spirit Roots are fated with him?”\nWithout a choice, Wang Baole sighed continuously. As time flew past, the number of Spirit Roots after him grew in number, reaching several hundred. There were numerous Spirit Roots within the group that had originally become fated with others, transforming into their looks, and engaging in battle with other students. However, when they saw Wang Baole, they immediately changed their target, as if staging a rebellion as they immediately became Wang Baole’s figure and joining the contingent pursing Wang Baole.\nTime flew, and there were already many from the four major Dao Colleges that had gone through the necessary torture. The impressive capabilities of Wang Baole at leading the Spirit Roots were already well known, and Wang Baole did not have time to care about issues like that. He was more anxious than anyone else as he searched frantically for the one-inch Spirit Root.\nAt that moment, in front of the charging Wang Baole was a marsh. Li Yi, who possessed a naturally fire-type Spirit Body from White Deer Dao College managed to overcome the one-inch True Breath that had transformed into her looks. Her eyes were demure as she looked at the figure that looked exactly like her.\nHowever, just as her cherry lips descended, the earth trembled as the fat Wang Baole who was leading a group of Fatties dashed right by!"

第九十六章
“灵根也会装神弄鬼？” 王宝乐瞪着眼，看着那传出笑声的虚幻身影，有些狐疑，倒也没多少害怕，毕竟来之前，他通过掌院给的玉简，对真息灵根有了一定程度的了解，知道它们具备灵智。
此刻正要上前几步仔细去看，可就在这时，那虚幻身影似有察觉，竟猛地转身……露出了没有五官的面孔，以及其体内，透出的七寸长短的根须。
“七寸啊。” 王宝乐顿时气馁，他知道自己目前要寻找的，是一寸的且与自己有缘的灵根。
“来的时候没觉得有多难啊，可现在真正经历，这也太难了。” 王宝乐挠了挠头，叹气中正要转身离去，可就在这时，忽然的，那原本无面的七寸灵根，却在看到王宝林后，身体竟散出光芒，面部立刻模糊，身躯急速膨胀。
“咦？” 这一幕，让王宝乐愣了一下，他眼睁睁的看着那七寸灵根竟在短短几个呼吸的工夫，身体变圆，面部出现了五官，甚至就连衣服也都被其幻化出来，最终……变的与自己一模一样！
眼看如此，王宝乐眼睛顿时明亮，激动起来。
虽然他从掌院给的玉简里知道，真息一旦选择了有缘人，就会对其出手，唯有将其打散后，才可吸收。
但此事从某种程度上来说，也是好事，灵根纠缠的话，也等于是不离不弃，等达到了能吸收的基础时，再去吸收就是。
“哈哈，你果然有眼光！ 知道我是这一次考核里最帅气的，所以选择了我，对不对。”
王宝乐得意的大笑起来，身体立刻后退，就要引着灵根追来，几乎在王宝乐倒退的瞬间，这七寸灵根目光一闪，咆哮一声，也急速冲来，二人瞬间就轰击在了一起，声响传遍四方时，那七寸灵根被王宝乐轰出数十丈外，王宝乐自己也都倒退数步，心底暗惊。
王宝乐心底吃惊，他知道自己如今的战力，方才那一拳，换了战武系的学首都不一定能扛住，可这七寸灵根居然生生对抗，虽还是被自己轰开，可反震之力，也让王宝乐五脏六腑震颤几下。
“这换了其他人，估计承受不住，但我能坚持。”
王宝乐立刻奔跑，向着丛林外疾驰，他身后传来咆哮，与他有缘的七寸灵根，急速追击。
“来啊，小灵根，我在这里，快来追我啊！” 王宝乐生怕七寸灵根追丢了，还不时的喊出声，吸引对方注意。
一路奔跑中，王宝乐心底得意，每次回头看到身后追来的自己，就觉得对方无比的帅气，心底美滋滋的，就连呼喊对方的声音，也都带着愉悦。
“帅气的小灵根，加油啊，别气馁，你很快就追上我了！”
似乎被王宝乐的声音刺激，那七寸灵根的怒吼更为强烈，速度也都快了不少。
很快的，随着王宝乐奔跑的范围加大，在这附近也有一些四大道院的学子，一个个先是听到了王宝乐的声音，纷纷觉得怪异时，看到了从身边奔腾而过的王宝乐，以及其身后的七寸灵根，不由得呆了一下。
！ 这胖子……什么运气啊，竟遇到了一个与其有缘的七寸灵根！”
“天啊，七寸灵根本就少，这家伙遇到也就罢了，竟还是一个与他有缘的……这运气逆天！”
“他居然还引着七寸灵根跟随，这种办法大都是用在五寸以下，七寸灵根的战力已经极强了，他这是玩火啊。”
而随着王宝乐的一路疾驰，遇到的四大道院学子更多，所有人在看到王宝乐以及其身后跟随的七寸灵根后，都纷纷大为吃惊。
其中也有缥缈道院的学子，在看到呼啸而过的王宝乐以及幻化其样子的灵根后，也都震惊艳羡的感慨。
“不愧是我们缥缈道院法兵系的三榜学首啊，就是不一般，就连勾引灵根，也都与众不同！”
途中所遇的众人，他们的表情与议论，王宝乐大都注意到，心底更为得意，他琢磨着自己实在是太厉害了，有这七寸灵根跟随，自己就等于是比其他人多了很大的优势。
“要是能再遇到一个六寸的灵根就好了。”
那三道灵根身影，似有所察觉，原本欲飘远的脚步猛地一顿，齐齐回头，在看向王宝乐时，它们倏然一震，身体竟直接膨胀，面孔扭曲，在王宝乐一脸的不可思议下，这三个灵根竟飞快的幻化成了他的样子！
！” 王宝乐呆了，看着那三个幻化成自己的五寸灵根，此刻正咆哮的向着自己冲来，他觉得眼前这一切有些匪夷所思。
“怎么都喜欢我，都与我有缘啊！” 王宝乐深吸口气，虽有惊喜，可还是觉得有些不对劲，但此刻来不及多想，他身后七寸灵根追来，于是赶紧一晃，立刻疾驰，而在他的后方，此刻一个七寸，三个五寸，一共四个变化成他模样的胖子，都在怒吼着狂奔追击。
“难道真的是因为我太帅了！”
王宝乐诧异，哪怕觉得不对劲，可更多的还是喜悦与得意，只是……这得意坚持没多久，王宝乐就有些慌了。
实在是……四个灵根跟随也就罢了，可偏偏让王宝乐自己都觉得疯狂的是，他在这接下来的奔跑中，又遇到了一些灵根，而任何一个灵根，但凡是看到了王宝乐，都会瞬间变成他的样子，直接就奔跑的追杀过来。
到了最后，王宝乐觉得头皮都要发麻了，要知道他身后追击自己的胖子，数量都达到了三十多个……这里面大都是三寸以上的，一个个都红着眼，不断地咆哮，疯狂追击。
！”
王宝乐心惊肉跳，此刻他已经没有什么喜悦了，而是觉得这一幕诡异的惊人，尤其是他后面的那些灵根，每一个都力大无穷，打一下都让他很痛，三十多个联合在一起，就更是雄壮，在地面奔跑时，传出惊雷一般的声响。
这声音随着扩散，竟又吸引了更多的灵根出现，在看到王宝乐后，也都立刻变身……数量不断攀升，直至上百！
如此一来，王宝乐的冷汗都流下来了，一想到自己一旦停下，就会被上百个自己围攻的画面，他就觉得无比诡异。
“一定出了什么问题，该死的，这上百个灵根里，怎么没有三寸以下的啊，我要一寸灵根啊！ ！”
王宝乐急了，速度更快，带着身后数量还在增加的一大群胖子，在这灵息乡内，狂奔不断。
因声势太大，所以渐渐引起了更多的人注意，而所有看到这一幕的学子，无不眼睛睁大，倒吸口气，实在是这一幕画面太过震撼！ “这……这是什么资质！
“这胖子的天资，莫非逆天无比，居然这么多灵根都与他有缘！
无奈之下，王宝乐连连叹气，随着时间的流逝，他身后的灵根数量，再一次增加，已经达到了数百之多，甚至途中有不少灵根，是原本与别人有缘的，都已经变换了对方的样子，彼此正在争斗，可在看到王宝乐后，立刻就逆转，好似叛变一般，直接变成了王宝乐加入到了追击的队伍中。
一时之间，四大道院的不少人已经深受其苦，王宝乐“率军”所过之处已是天怒人怨了，王宝乐也顾不得去理会这些事，他此刻比谁都急，疯狂的寻找一寸灵根。
也正是在这个时候，在疾驰狂奔的王宝乐的前方，有一处洼地，此刻白鹿道院的那位天生火灵体的李怡，刚刚制服了幻化成自己的一寸真息，她小脸激动中双目内都露出明媚之色，看着眼前与自己一模一样的身影。
可就在她樱唇落下的瞬间，大地震动，从其一侧……圆圆的王宝乐，带着一群胖子，直接就奔腾而过！

Chapter 96 - Sorrow at the Height of Happiness
“Even the Spirit Root plays tricks and creates trouble as well?” Wang Baole stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the illusory figure that was laughing. He was slightly suspicious, more so than being afraid. After all, before he arrived, he had gained a brief understanding of the True Breath Spirit Root through the jade slip given by the Chancellor, and he was aware that they contained Spirit Intelligence.
He had wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but at that instant, the imaginary figure seemed to have sensed him and abruptly turned around, revealing a face without any facial features. Within his body, a seven-inch root was also apparent.
“Seven inches, huh?” Wang Baole was deflated. He knew that what he was looking for right now as a Spirit Root that was not only an inch long but also fated with him.
“I didn’t think it would be challenging when I came, but now that I’ve experienced it, it’s so difficult!” Wang Baole said as he scratched his head. As he sighed and turned to leave, very suddenly, at this moment, the faceless seven-inch Spirit Root began glowing after seeing Wang Baole. Its face became blurry, and its body expanded rapidly.
“Hmm?” This scene bewildered Wang Baole. In front of his eyes, he saw the seven-inch Spirit Root expand its body, with facial features appearing, all within the time span of a few breaths. Even clothing appeared on it, and eventually, it transformed into a figure that looked exactly like himself!
Witnessing everything, Wang Baole’s eyes immediately lit up, and he was filled with excitement.
This was despite knowing from the jade slip given by the Chancellor that once the True Breath had chosen someone that it could get along with, it would begin attacking him. Only when he successfully dispersed it could it be absorbed.
On a certain level, this could be considered good news. If the Spirit Root decided to harass someone, it meant that they were loyal. Once one reached the capability to absorb it, they could still do so.
“Hah! You sure have a keen eye, choosing me after recognizing that I’m the most handsome one out of everyone in this test, isn’t it?” Wang Baole laughed smugly, immediately moving backward to attract the Spirit Root to follow him.
The moment Wang Baole moved, the seven-inch Spirit Root flashed and growled, rushing quickly toward him. The two collided instantly, and the impact caused a boom that spread in all directions. The seven-inch Spirit Root was blasted hundreds of feet away after hitting Wang Baole, while the surprised Wang Baole was also pushed back by the impact. This seven-inch Spirit Root has such great strength!
Wang Baole was taken aback. He knew that the fighting capabilities that he possessed now meant that even the Head Prefect of the Combat faculty might not be able to withstand the punch that he had just thrown. However, the fact that the seven-inch Spirit Root could resist the impact and vibration caused Wang Baole’s entire body to vibrate in surprise, despite the fact that it was still blasted away.
If it were someone else, it is likely that they could not stand it. However, I will persevere!
Wang Baole thought and immediately began running at lightning speed toward the area outside the forests. A growl followed him as the seven-inch Spirit Root chased after him.
“Come on, Spirit Root! I’m right here! Come after me!” Wang Baole was afraid that the seven-inch Spirit Root would not be able to catch up, so he shouted time and again in order to catch its attention.
As he ran, Wang Baole was filled with glee. Every time he turned to look at the figure of himself chasing after him, he was impressed by how suave he looked. He was extremely delighted, to the extent that his voice, which he directed in the form of shouts, also sounded cheerful.
“Handsome Spirit Root, come on! Don’t give up, you’ll catch up with me in no time!”
As if it were agitated by Wang Baole’s voice, the seven-inch Spirit Root growled even louder, its speed increasing significantly as well.
Very quickly, as the area covered by Wang Baole increased, the students from the four major Dao Colleges who happened to be near all saw what was happening. Initially, when they first heard Wang Baole’s voice, they were confused and were even more surprised when they saw Wang Baole dashing passed them, followed by the seven-inch Spirit Root.
“A seven-inch Spirit Root! That fatso, how lucky he is to have met a seven-inch Spirit Root that’s fated with him!”
“Gosh! Seven-inch Spirit Roots are rare to begin with. Not only did he meet one, but the one that he has met is also fated with him. What unbelievable luck!”
“He’s actually baiting the seven-inch Spirit Root to follow him. This method is typically used on Spirit Roots less than five inches. The combat capabilities of the seven-inch Spirit Roots are extremely high. It’s like he’s playing with fire.”
As Wang Baole sped, he met even more students from the four major Dao College. Everyone froze in shock when they saw Wang Baole and the seven-inch Spirit Root that followed closely after him.
Within the group of students, there were also some from Ethereal Dao College. When they saw Wang Baole dashing past and the Spirit Root that had morphed into his appearance, they were all filled with envy and rich emotions.
“The Triple Head Prefect of our Ethereal Dao College’s Dharmic Armament is indeed extraordinary! Even his lure of the Spirit Root is unusual!”
Wang Baole noticed the facial expressions and discussions of everyone he met on the way. That made him even more smug as he thought about how capable he was. The fact that the seven-inch Spirit Root was pursuing him meant that he had a greater advantage compared to the others.
If only I could meet a six-inch Spirit Root, that would be great!
The figures of the three Spirit Roots seemed to have sensed him. They had originally been moving further away, but they stopped abruptly, turning around at the same time, and vibrated once strongly the moment they looked toward Wang Baole. Their bodies expanded and contorted, and as Wang Baole was filled with disbelief, the three Spirit Roots quickly morphed into figures that looked exactly like him!
“Three five-inch-long ones!” Wang Baole was dazed, looking at the five-inch Spirit Roots that had adopted his looks rushing toward him while howling. He was incredulous at the sight unfolding before his eyes.
“So, every one of them likes me and is fated with me, huh?” Wang Baole took a deep breath. Even though he was surprised, he still felt that something was amiss. However, he did not have time to think much, for the seven-inch Spirit Root was fast catching up. Therefore, he jolted and began running swiftly, with a seven-inch and three five-inch Spirit Roots that had transformed into four separate figures with his exact appearance howling and pursuing him.
Could it be that I am too handsome?
Wang Baole was confused. Even though he felt that something was not right, he was more delighted and happy than anything. However, his delight did not last long before Wang Baole began to feel anxious.
If it were just the four Spirit Roots, that would have been fine. The thing that made Wang Baole feel was absurd was that as he ran, he met even more Spirit Roots, and all of the Spirit Roots that came across Wang Baole would instantly morph into him and begin their pursuit.
In the end, even Wang Baole’s scalp began to feel numb. There were now over thirty fatties chasing after him, most of them more than three-inches-long. Their eyes were all reddened, and they howled continuously as they pursued Wang Baole ferociously.
What on earth is happening?
Wang Baole was frightened. He no longer felt joy and was instead incredulous at the situation. That was especially so as all the Spirit Roots pursuing him had immense strength, capable of eliciting pain through a single attack. With the thirty of them combined, their force strengthened, causing a thunder-like boom to be produced as they ran on the ground.
As the sound spread, it attracted the attention of even more Spirit Roots, which transformed into Wang Baole the moment they saw him. The numbers grew exponentially, reaching the hundreds!
As a result, Wang Baole broke out in cold sweat. He felt immensely helpless and confused, realizing that once he stopped running, he would be rounded up and attacked by hundreds of himself.
There must be something wrong, damn it! There are hundreds of Spirit Roots here, but why isn’t there one less than three inches? I only need a one-inch Spirit Root!
Wang Baole was nervous and moved even faster, leading the huge group of Fatties, which was growing in number, as he ran without stopping in the Spirit Breath Village.
The commotion was huge, catching the attention of greater numbers of people. The students who witnessed the scene all stared unblinkingly, gasping in shock as they felt that the entire scene was too surprising! “This… what kind of quality is this?”
“Could it be that this fatty’s talent is so extraordinary that so many Spirit Roots are fated with him?”
Without a choice, Wang Baole sighed continuously. As time flew past, the number of Spirit Roots after him grew in number, reaching several hundred. There were numerous Spirit Roots within the group that had originally become fated with others, transforming into their looks, and engaging in battle with other students. However, when they saw Wang Baole, they immediately changed their target, as if staging a rebellion as they immediately became Wang Baole’s figure and joining the contingent pursing Wang Baole.
Time flew, and there were already many from the four major Dao Colleges that had gone through the necessary torture. The impressive capabilities of Wang Baole at leading the Spirit Roots were already well known, and Wang Baole did not have time to care about issues like that. He was more anxious than anyone else as he searched frantically for the one-inch Spirit Root.
At that moment, in front of the charging Wang Baole was a marsh. Li Yi, who possessed a naturally fire-type Spirit Body from White Deer Dao College managed to overcome the one-inch True Breath that had transformed into her looks. Her eyes were demure as she looked at the figure that looked exactly like her.
However, just as her cherry lips descended, the earth trembled as the fat Wang Baole who was leading a group of Fatties dashed right by!

"value": "Chapter 443: Type 3 Lightning!\nChapter 443 – Type 3 Lightning!\nAfter swallowing the large amount of Type 2 Mutant Beasts’ nuclei as well as the 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts’ nuclei, it finally triggered an evolution, causing Lightning to evolve into a Type 3 Mutant Beast as well.\nCurrently, Lightning was almost an entire size larger than its previous form, and it had 40 times the speed of a normal human. The moment it unleashed its full speed, it would cause a sonic boom from breaking the sound barrier.\nIn just a matter of 4 seconds, Lightning had crossed the distance of 1,000 metres, and charged into the midst of the Greater China Alliance’s troops with a resounding boom. Its claws slashed about, and numerous soldiers would find their heads swiped away, causing fresh blood to fountain upwards and splatter everywhere.\nAlthough Lightning did not have the fearsome defence of the Type 3 Green Jiao-Python, nor the immense strength, as well as the threatening corrosive poison spit, it had its simplest and most effective weapon: speed. That sonic speed was enough for it to lay waste to numerous enemies.\n“Damn it!!” 20 of the Greater China Alliance’s Enhancers were infuriated and they charged at Lightning.\nLightning eyed those Enhancers above Level 30, and its body flashed, suddenly appearing in the midst of them.\nIn 2 mere seconds, the heads of those 20 Enhancers were smacked away, fresh blood splattering everywhere, and they could not even catch a glimpse of Lightning’s movements.\nYue Zhong activated his [Shadow Steps] and managed to reach a maximum speed 17 times that of other humans, and could barely managed to keep up with Lightning’s figure. Even with this speed, he was barely reaching the terrifying degree of combat potential that Lightning now possessed.\nYue Zhong charged forwards, and appeared near a tank. He activated his [Art of Fear], and a huge Spirit force assailed outwards, with Yue Zhong as the centre.\nIn a single instant, all the soldiers within the tank were submerged in the terrifying hallucinations and fainted.\nOnly those with Spirit values high enough or special skills and equipment that could block the [Art of Fear] attack from Yue Zhong survived. Those other tank operators were simply helpless.\nThe rest of the tanks were focused on the Mutant Leopard Cats, and were firing wildly at them.\nAs rounds after rounds blasted in the midst of the Leopard Cats, some of the Mutant Leopard Cats were blasted into charred pieces. Those Mutant Leopard Cats could not withstand the heavy firearms. Even Lightning, a Type 3 Mutant Leopard Cat, would be blasted to smithereens if it was caught, not to mention the ordinary Mutant Leopard Cats.\nThe various IFVs were also firing at the Mutant Leopard Cats with their 25mm cannons, blasting a few of the Mutant Leopard Cats apart, dyeing the ground crimson with rivulets of blood.\nAs for those self-propelling rockets, due to the restrictions of the range, they could not display their full might.\nYue Zhong took the opportunity when the Greater China Alliance was distracted by the Mutant Leopard Cats, and flashed about, activating his [Art of Fear] continuously, sending waves of terror sweeping outwards in all directions. His tactics caused many of the soldiers in the tanks and IFVs to faint from the terrifying Spirit attack.\nOn the other side, White Bones had charged into the midst of the soldiers, its bone blades dancing about, slicing any soldier unfortunate enough to be in its way into pieces.\nAfter losing the suppression of the IFVs and tanks, the 400 Mutant Leopard Cats wreaked havoc on the remaining unlucky soldiers, charging into their camps, and pouncing onto many of the fleeing warriors, ripping their necks off.\nThe moment the soldiers had to face the Mutant Leopard Cats right after being buffeted by the snowstorm, their spirits were on the brink of collapsing, and many of them threw down their weapons and tried to escape. They did not know where to run to in the middle of the snowstorm, but it was better to be frozen to death than to be eaten alive by Mutant Beasts.\nYue Zhong eyed those fleeing soldiers and hollered loudly: “Throw down your weapons!! Raise your hands in the air! I’ll spare those who surrender!!”\nThose soldiers had lost all will to fight, and were only concerned about not being eaten alive. The moment they heard Yue Zhong’s words, they quickly abandoned their weapons, raising their hands, and looked at the Mutant Leopard Cats with fear.\nLightning howled once, and all the Mutant Leopard Cats eyed those humans who surrendered, their eyes flashing with unwillingness, but turned their attention away from them, and made for others who had not surrendered.\nSeeing that it was effective, all the remaining soldiers immediately surrendered to Yue Zhong.\nDuan Zi Ke came up with a bitter expression as he announced: “I’m Duan Zi Ke. I’m the commander of these soldiers! I’m officially surrendering, and I hope that you can look upon my troops favourably!”\nYue Zhong pointed to the shuddering figure of Jin Guang Xuan that he dragged out, whose face was pale and asked: “Who’s this?”\nJin Guang Xuan immediately stammered out loud: “I’m Jin Guang Xuan! I’m the song of Jin Sheng Cheng, the Greater China Alliance supervisor of the Guang Xi region! I’ve surrendered! You can’t kill me!!”\nYue Zhong glanced at Duan Zi Ke before saying solemnly: “I’m Yue Zhong. Duan Zi Ke! How about being my subordinate? Working for someone like him is too demeaning for you.”\nYue Zhong had initially intended to just observe the troops of the Greater China Alliance. He had not expected the Jin Guang Xuan to be such a bag of straw, and had actually ordered the troops to march on in the snow. With a single shot, he was able to dismantle the great army of this Greater China Alliance, causing them to collapse.\nCurrently, there were only Lightning and its 400 brothers beside Yue Zhong. No one else was present to control the captives. Regardless of what kind of person Duan Zi Ke was, or whether he had the ability or not, he was still the commander of these soldiers, and this was the optimal choice now.\nYue Zhong stared at Duan Zi Ke and said: “As long as you serve me, I’ll naturally look favourably upon you and your troops.”\nDuan Zi Ke mulled silently for a while, before lifting his head and asked: “Yue Zhong! If I were to join you, what are your plans? Are you going to become a warlord?”\nYue Zhong looked directly at Duan Zi Ke and replied slowly: “My aim is to use military force to dispel all warlord factions within China, reuniting the entire country, and establishing a new country.”\nYue Zhong had gotten to where he was step by step, and he had transformed from a weak, ordinary humans under him into mighty persons with a large faction to rely on. His ambitions had slowly increased as well. At first, he just wanted to find a place where no one would control him, so that he could live on peacefully. Now, he wanted to abolish and hopefully absorb the many factions, and unite the whole country.\nEven though he had not seen it himself, he knew that there were many factions littered across the whole country. His own force now was one of many as well. Who knew how many people possessed an unbridled ambition? The Greater China Alliance was also one of many factions.\nDuan Zi Ke’s eyes flashed with a hint of awe, as he saluted Yue Zhong and said: “Please let me be a part of your plans.”\nYue Zhong immediately grinned and said: “Great!! From now on, you’re a commander under me! Commander Duan!! Please organize your troops together with White Bones. We have to leave here as soon as possible!! We need to seek shelter from the snow.”\nYue Zhong naturally would not easily believe that Duan Zi Ke could instantly become a loyal subordinate. Since he had no other men to utilize now, he needed Duan Zi Ke to obey his commands and see how it went from there.\nDuan Zi Ke heard the orders and immediately saluted once more, before striding towards the others: “Yes, Chief!!”\nWhite Bones followed closely beside Duan Zi Ke, if there were any strange movements, White Bones could easily take care of it.\nDuan Zi Ke had a presence and authority within these troops. Very quickly, he managed to gather all the captives, and even woke those soldiers who had fainted from the [Art of Fear] hallucinations.\nYue Zhong led the force that had only 1,200 soldiers remaining towards a small town.\nThe majority of the Greater China Alliance soldiers had fled, and only these remaining 1,200 had remained behind in order to band together to resist Yue Zhong earlier.\nThese 1,200 soldiers weren’t weak in fact. They could be on par with the elites that Yue Zhong were training in his Elite Battalion. However, due to Jin Guang Xuan’s ineptness, it had caused the soldiers to feel worse. At the same time, Yue Zhong, White Bones as well as the terror that Lightning and its brothers caused were enough to dispel any notion of resistance.\nIf it were another place and time, if both sides were to engage in an actual battle, in order to forcefully subjugate this force of 1,200, Yue Zhong would definitely have to pay a higher price.\nAfter travelling for about an hour in the snow, Yue Zhong and the rest entered a small town.\nThe zombies within the town had long since been cleared by the humans, and when those soldiers entered the town, they began searching for suitable homes and shelter as they huddled within, shivering in the cold.\nWithin a building, Yue Zhong immediately set fire to a wooden bed frame, and a number of the soldiers gathered around the fire to warm themselves up.\nThe two attributes that determined the body’s resistance to the cold was Vitality and Endurance. Very few Enhancers in the Greater China Alliance had focused on these 2, hence they felt the cold all the way to their bones.\nYue Zhong eyed Duan Zi Ke and asked: “What kind of organization is the Greater China Alliance?”\nAlthough someone had told Yue Zhong about the movements of the Greater China Alliance, the person did not know the exact details and makeup of the Greater China Alliance.\nDuan Zi Ke thought for a moment, gathering his thoughts, before he replied directly: “The Greater China Alliance…..”\nThe Greater China Alliance was an union that was formed from a number of warlord factions coming together. They had communicated through radio. Although it was termed an alliance, in truth, there was almost no relationship between these warlords. It was a load of complete bull. Other than the broadcasting station, they lacked other means of communications. At the same time, no one of them wanted to give up their own establishments they worked so hard to get.\nHowever, after the alliance was formed, the total number of people these warlords shared amongst themselves became over a million, with many experts amongst them. It was a decent-sized threat to anyone who hears of them. Although they did not have any close relationships, they would share intel from time to time, and it became such that an alliance was more beneficial than not.\nJin Sheng Cheng was in charge of the Guang Xi region, which happened to be the strongest force. He had over 80,000 survivors under him, and had opened 2 military camps near him, retrieving 5 infantry battalions’ worth of equipment. At the same time, he established a survivor force of over 20,000, as they went around in search of more resources.\nDuan Zi Ke was the leader of one of these forces, numbering at 10,000.\nOf course, Jin Sheng Cheng could easily deploy a 20,000-strong army was because he forced a lot of young men to be drafted. As long as there were fit and able-bodied young men, he would conscript them into the forces. These was how he managed to put together a force of 20,000.\nTruthfully, if Yue Zhong was that vicious as well, he could easily pull out a force of 200,000. However, their combat power would definitely be lacking, and just paying the wages of the 200,000 would be enough to burn through his resources.\nJin Sheng Cheng’s base of operations was in Ning Hua District, near Bin Qi City.

Duan Zi Ke, White Bones, you guys lead the soldiers to rest here within the town for a day.”\n“Yes!” Duan Zi Ke eyed White Bones beside him before responding in a clear voice.\nWhite Bones nodded slightly at Yue Zhong.

第四百四十三章 三阶闪电！
第四百四十三章三阶闪电！
闪电吞噬了岳重jiāo给它的大量二阶变异兽晶核和两枚三阶变异兽晶核之后，终于发生了蜕变，进化成为了三阶变异兽。
此时的闪电比之过去大了一圈，同时具有了四十人之速。 拥有四十人之速的闪电一旦速度全开，它的速度就超过音速。
仅仅只有四秒钟，闪电就跨越了一千米的距离，如同一道声bō般冲入了大中华同盟会的人群之中，它爪子连续拍动，一名名大中华同盟会战士的头颅旋即被直接拍飞，鲜血冲天而起。
！ 闪电虽然没有三阶青鳞蛟可怕的防御力、巨大无比的力量、能够瞬间腐蚀火箭弹的本源毒液。 可是它却拥有纯粹的快作为它的杀手锏。
！” 二十名大中华同盟会之中三十级以上的强化者大怒一下向着闪电这边冲了过来。
闪电瞧了那二十名三十级以上的强化者，身形闪动，一下突入了二十名大中华同盟会的强者之中。
仅仅两秒，那二十名手持各种兵器的大中华同盟会的强者脑袋旋即直接被拍飞，鲜血四溅，他们连捕捉闪电的身影都办不到。
岳重发动影步之后，拥有了十七人之速，他十分勉强才能够看到闪电的身影，勉强拥有和闪电一战之力。 低于十人之速的强化者根本连闪电的身影都捕捉不到，就能别提与之对抗了。
岳重身形闪动，一下出现在了一辆坦克附近，他瞬间发动了恐惧术，一圈圈强大的jīng神bō动以他为圆心向着四面八方扩散而去。
一瞬之间，那坦克内部的战士旋即全部陷入了恐惧之中，昏mí了过去。
岳重的恐惧术只有那些jīng神力极高，或者拥有特殊技能、神魔系统装备的强者才能够抵挡。 那些坦克兵可挡不住他的恐惧术。
那些坦克都比那些凶猛扑过来的变异豹猫群吸引住了，它们不断的向着那些冲过来的变异豹猫开炮。
那些变异豹猫根本挡不住那些坦克主炮的轰击。 就连闪电这头三阶变异豹猫吃一发坦克主炮的炮弹也要直接被炸得四分五裂，普通的变异豹猫自然无法抵御坦克主炮的威力。
那些步兵战车的25毫米机关炮也在疯狂的向着那些变异豹猫扫shè着，直接将一头头变异豹猫拦腰打断，鲜血四溅。
至于那些自行火炮却因为shè程的缘故，并没有发挥出威力。
岳重趁着那些变异豹猫吸引着大中华同盟会的注意力之时，他身形不断的闪动，不断的发动着恐惧术，一圈圈可怕的jīng神bō纹向着四面八方扩散，在那jīng神bō纹的笼罩范围之内，那一辆辆坦克、步兵战车之中的战士统统都陷入了恐惧的幻境之中，昏mí了过去。
另外一边，白骨也突入了那大中华同盟会的战士群之中，骨刃翻飞，将挡路的大中华同盟会战士直接斩杀，钉死。
那四百多头变异豹猫一冲入大中华同盟会的阵地之后，那在大风雪之中作战原本士气就十分低落的大中华同盟会的武装旋即崩溃，许多战士纷纷丢下了武器，向着四面八方逃去。
他们不知道在这大风雪之中应该逃去哪里，可是就算是冻死，也好过被那些变异兽活活吃掉。
岳重看着那向四面八方崩溃的大中华同盟会战士大声的喊道：“丢下武器！ ！
那些大中华同盟会的战士原本就已经丧失了战意，只是担心被那变异兽吃掉这才逃跑。 一听到岳重的劝降话语，许多战士纷纷丢下了武器，双手高举，一脸惊恐的看着那些变异兽群。
闪电大吼了一声，那些变异豹猫瞧了那些丢下武器高举双手的人类，眼中闪过一抹不舍不过还是放过了那些高举双手投降的人类，向着其他没有投降的人类扑了过去。
看到可以投降，大片大片残存的战士成建制的向着岳重投降。
现在我正式向您投降。 希望您能够善待我的部下！”
岳重指着那被他从车子里面拖出来身体瑟瑟发抖，一脸苍白的金光铉直接问道：“他是谁？”
我向你投降了！ 你可不能杀我！ ！”
当我的部下怎么样？ 你为他那样的人效力，真是委屈你了。” 岳重原本独自一人前来是打算看一下那大中华同盟会的部队倒地是什么样子。
他没有想道那金光铉会如此草包，竟然让准备不足的大军在大风雪里面行军。 他一发子弹就导致了那看似十分强横的大中华同盟会大军崩溃。
此时跟在岳重身边的只有闪电和四百多头变异豹猫根本没有人手来控制这只俘虏大军。 段子可原本是什么人，他有没有能力并不重要。 他之前是这只部队的指挥官，是掌控这只部队的最佳人选。
岳重盯着段子可沉声道：“只要你成为了我的部下！ 我自然会善待你和你的部下。”
段子可沉默了一会，抬头看着岳重沉声问道：“岳重！ 如果我现在投靠了你。
岳重看着段子可缓缓说道：“我的目标是用武力消灭国内所有军阀，收复全国，建立一个崭新的国度。”
他的野心也在不断的扩张。 原本他只是想给自己找一块不受其他人控制的地方幸福的活下去。
现在他的目标却是用武力消灭全国的军阀，统一整个国家。 岳重虽然没有亲眼看见却也知道现在的华夏国一定已经遍布无数大小军阀创建的势力。
段子可眼中异光一闪向着岳重行了一个军礼道：“请让我为您的事业贡献一份力量。” 岳重lù出了一个爽朗的微笑道：“好！
请你立即和白骨一起去整理部队。 我们要尽快离开这里！ ！
找一个能够避雪的地方。” 岳重自然不会轻易相信段子可一下就对他忠心耿耿，死心塌地。
段子可听到了岳重的命令，向着岳重行了一个军礼，大步的向着其他人走去:“是！ 首长！
白骨则是紧紧的跟在了段子可的身边，一旦他有什么异动。 白骨就能够轻易的将他杀死。
段子可在这只部队里面十分有声望和能力。 他很快就把所有的俘虏组织了起来，然后把那些陷入恐惧幻境之中的战士也唤醒。
岳重带着那只只剩下了一千两百多的战士迎着风雪向着一边的一个小镇行去。
大部分大中华同盟会的战士都已经崩溃逃散，只剩下这一千两百多名刚刚聚拢在一起抵抗岳重进攻的jīng锐。
只是在金光铉的无能命令之下在大风雪之中战斗士气极为低落，同时岳重、白骨的强横以及闪电的恐怖带着那变异豹猫群这才摧毁了他们的抵抗意志。
若是换个时间地点，双方摆开阵势，堂堂正正的战斗。 岳重要想啃下这一千两百人组成的军队，也要付出不小的代价。
在那风雪之中行走了将近一个小时之后，岳重一行进入了一个小镇之中。
那个小镇之中的丧尸已经被人清理过一遍，那些战士们进入小镇之后，纷纷寻找了一间间房间龟缩在一起，瑟瑟发抖的抱团取暖了起来。
在一间房屋之中，岳重直接将一张木chuáng斩断烧了起来，一群原大中华同盟会的干部旋即围了过来烤着火，身体之中也涌出了一丝丝暖意。
决定身体对各种温度抵抗力的乃是活力和强度这两个属xìng。 那些大中华同盟会的强化者大多都很少会强化这两个属xìng，因此他们同样会感觉到寒冷难耐。
岳重瞧了段子可直接问道：“大中华同盟会是一个什么组织？”
虽然有人岳重提到过大中华同盟会的异动，可是对于大中华同盟会这个组织那人所知也并不详细。
那大中华同盟会乃是由分部在中国各地的十几个大型军阀组成的松散联盟。
那十几个大型军阀之间通过电台来联系。
对外吹嘘起来也十分有威慑力。 同时虽然那些军阀们没有统属关系，可是他们相互之间还会时不时的jiāo换一些有用的情报。 因此这个联盟也并非一无是处。
金胜成统领的就是大中华同盟会广西分部的最强武装。 在他的麾下拥有八万名幸存者，他开了两个边防军的兵营，nòng到了五个步兵营的武器装备。
同时还穷兵黩武的组建了一只人数为两万人的幸存者大军，四处征战，收刮着物资。
段子可统领的这一只部队就是金胜成的一只万人队。 当然金胜成能够一下拉出两万大军，完全是采用了拉壮丁的方式。 只要是健壮的男人都会被拉出去当兵。
他这才能够从八万幸存者之中nòng出了两万部队。 事实上，若是岳重一狠心，也能够从贵宁市之中拉出一只二十万人的部队。
金胜成的老巢就是在宾齐市附近的宁滑.县。 金胜成虽然打不下一个大市，可是打下一个小县城却是不成问题。
根据段子可的描述，金胜成部署在他老巢的军队战斗力要比他带出来的部队强上一截，并不是一个容易啃得动的面瓜。
岳重看着段子可沉声道：“把你们和贵宁市之中势力街头的信号告诉我。”
段子可心中一凛直接将那些种种暗号统统的告诉了岳重。
岳重将那些种种暗号记在了心中之后才向着段子可他们说道：“我先出去一下！ 段子可，白骨，你们带人在这个小镇里面休息一天。”
段子可瞧了旁边的白骨一眼朗声应道。
白骨则是向着岳重微微点头。 它已经拥有初级智慧并且获得+1的强化，一些普通的事情它已经知道如何处理。
岳重一出外面，立即跳到了闪电的背上沉声道：“回贵宁市！”
在闪电那超音速的疾驰之下，罡风如刀，狠狠的刺在岳重的身上。 若不是他身体强度足够强横，他早已被那冰冷的罡风nòng伤身体。
闪电全速发动，在那1马赫的高速之下，仅仅半个小时不到，岳重就已经回到了贵宁市之中。

Chapter 443: Type 3 Lightning!
Chapter 443 – Type 3 Lightning!
After swallowing the large amount of Type 2 Mutant Beasts’ nuclei as well as the 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts’ nuclei, it finally triggered an evolution, causing Lightning to evolve into a Type 3 Mutant Beast as well.
Currently, Lightning was almost an entire size larger than its previous form, and it had 40 times the speed of a normal human. The moment it unleashed its full speed, it would cause a sonic boom from breaking the sound barrier.
In just a matter of 4 seconds, Lightning had crossed the distance of 1,000 metres, and charged into the midst of the Greater China Alliance’s troops with a resounding boom. Its claws slashed about, and numerous soldiers would find their heads swiped away, causing fresh blood to fountain upwards and splatter everywhere.
Although Lightning did not have the fearsome defence of the Type 3 Green Jiao-Python, nor the immense strength, as well as the threatening corrosive poison spit, it had its simplest and most effective weapon: speed. That sonic speed was enough for it to lay waste to numerous enemies.
“Damn it!!” 20 of the Greater China Alliance’s Enhancers were infuriated and they charged at Lightning.
Lightning eyed those Enhancers above Level 30, and its body flashed, suddenly appearing in the midst of them.
In 2 mere seconds, the heads of those 20 Enhancers were smacked away, fresh blood splattering everywhere, and they could not even catch a glimpse of Lightning’s movements.
Yue Zhong activated his [Shadow Steps] and managed to reach a maximum speed 17 times that of other humans, and could barely managed to keep up with Lightning’s figure. Even with this speed, he was barely reaching the terrifying degree of combat potential that Lightning now possessed.
Yue Zhong charged forwards, and appeared near a tank. He activated his [Art of Fear], and a huge Spirit force assailed outwards, with Yue Zhong as the centre.
In a single instant, all the soldiers within the tank were submerged in the terrifying hallucinations and fainted.
Only those with Spirit values high enough or special skills and equipment that could block the [Art of Fear] attack from Yue Zhong survived. Those other tank operators were simply helpless.
The rest of the tanks were focused on the Mutant Leopard Cats, and were firing wildly at them.
As rounds after rounds blasted in the midst of the Leopard Cats, some of the Mutant Leopard Cats were blasted into charred pieces. Those Mutant Leopard Cats could not withstand the heavy firearms. Even Lightning, a Type 3 Mutant Leopard Cat, would be blasted to smithereens if it was caught, not to mention the ordinary Mutant Leopard Cats.
The various IFVs were also firing at the Mutant Leopard Cats with their 25mm cannons, blasting a few of the Mutant Leopard Cats apart, dyeing the ground crimson with rivulets of blood.
As for those self-propelling rockets, due to the restrictions of the range, they could not display their full might.
Yue Zhong took the opportunity when the Greater China Alliance was distracted by the Mutant Leopard Cats, and flashed about, activating his [Art of Fear] continuously, sending waves of terror sweeping outwards in all directions. His tactics caused many of the soldiers in the tanks and IFVs to faint from the terrifying Spirit attack.
On the other side, White Bones had charged into the midst of the soldiers, its bone blades dancing about, slicing any soldier unfortunate enough to be in its way into pieces.
After losing the suppression of the IFVs and tanks, the 400 Mutant Leopard Cats wreaked havoc on the remaining unlucky soldiers, charging into their camps, and pouncing onto many of the fleeing warriors, ripping their necks off.
The moment the soldiers had to face the Mutant Leopard Cats right after being buffeted by the snowstorm, their spirits were on the brink of collapsing, and many of them threw down their weapons and tried to escape. They did not know where to run to in the middle of the snowstorm, but it was better to be frozen to death than to be eaten alive by Mutant Beasts.
Yue Zhong eyed those fleeing soldiers and hollered loudly: “Throw down your weapons!! Raise your hands in the air! I’ll spare those who surrender!!”
Those soldiers had lost all will to fight, and were only concerned about not being eaten alive. The moment they heard Yue Zhong’s words, they quickly abandoned their weapons, raising their hands, and looked at the Mutant Leopard Cats with fear.
Lightning howled once, and all the Mutant Leopard Cats eyed those humans who surrendered, their eyes flashing with unwillingness, but turned their attention away from them, and made for others who had not surrendered.
Seeing that it was effective, all the remaining soldiers immediately surrendered to Yue Zhong.
Duan Zi Ke came up with a bitter expression as he announced: “I’m Duan Zi Ke. I’m the commander of these soldiers! I’m officially surrendering, and I hope that you can look upon my troops favourably!”
Yue Zhong pointed to the shuddering figure of Jin Guang Xuan that he dragged out, whose face was pale and asked: “Who’s this?”
Jin Guang Xuan immediately stammered out loud: “I’m Jin Guang Xuan! I’m the song of Jin Sheng Cheng, the Greater China Alliance supervisor of the Guang Xi region! I’ve surrendered! You can’t kill me!!”
Yue Zhong glanced at Duan Zi Ke before saying solemnly: “I’m Yue Zhong. Duan Zi Ke! How about being my subordinate? Working for someone like him is too demeaning for you.”
Yue Zhong had initially intended to just observe the troops of the Greater China Alliance. He had not expected the Jin Guang Xuan to be such a bag of straw, and had actually ordered the troops to march on in the snow. With a single shot, he was able to dismantle the great army of this Greater China Alliance, causing them to collapse.
Currently, there were only Lightning and its 400 brothers beside Yue Zhong. No one else was present to control the captives. Regardless of what kind of person Duan Zi Ke was, or whether he had the ability or not, he was still the commander of these soldiers, and this was the optimal choice now.
Yue Zhong stared at Duan Zi Ke and said: “As long as you serve me, I’ll naturally look favourably upon you and your troops.”
Duan Zi Ke mulled silently for a while, before lifting his head and asked: “Yue Zhong! If I were to join you, what are your plans? Are you going to become a warlord?”
Yue Zhong looked directly at Duan Zi Ke and replied slowly: “My aim is to use military force to dispel all warlord factions within China, reuniting the entire country, and establishing a new country.”
Yue Zhong had gotten to where he was step by step, and he had transformed from a weak, ordinary humans under him into mighty persons with a large faction to rely on. His ambitions had slowly increased as well. At first, he just wanted to find a place where no one would control him, so that he could live on peacefully. Now, he wanted to abolish and hopefully absorb the many factions, and unite the whole country.
Even though he had not seen it himself, he knew that there were many factions littered across the whole country. His own force now was one of many as well. Who knew how many people possessed an unbridled ambition? The Greater China Alliance was also one of many factions.
Duan Zi Ke’s eyes flashed with a hint of awe, as he saluted Yue Zhong and said: “Please let me be a part of your plans.”
Yue Zhong immediately grinned and said: “Great!! From now on, you’re a commander under me! Commander Duan!! Please organize your troops together with White Bones. We have to leave here as soon as possible!! We need to seek shelter from the snow.”
Yue Zhong naturally would not easily believe that Duan Zi Ke could instantly become a loyal subordinate. Since he had no other men to utilize now, he needed Duan Zi Ke to obey his commands and see how it went from there.
Duan Zi Ke heard the orders and immediately saluted once more, before striding towards the others: “Yes, Chief!!”
White Bones followed closely beside Duan Zi Ke, if there were any strange movements, White Bones could easily take care of it.
Duan Zi Ke had a presence and authority within these troops. Very quickly, he managed to gather all the captives, and even woke those soldiers who had fainted from the [Art of Fear] hallucinations.
Yue Zhong led the force that had only 1,200 soldiers remaining towards a small town.
The majority of the Greater China Alliance soldiers had fled, and only these remaining 1,200 had remained behind in order to band together to resist Yue Zhong earlier.
These 1,200 soldiers weren’t weak in fact. They could be on par with the elites that Yue Zhong were training in his Elite Battalion. However, due to Jin Guang Xuan’s ineptness, it had caused the soldiers to feel worse. At the same time, Yue Zhong, White Bones as well as the terror that Lightning and its brothers caused were enough to dispel any notion of resistance.
If it were another place and time, if both sides were to engage in an actual battle, in order to forcefully subjugate this force of 1,200, Yue Zhong would definitely have to pay a higher price.
After travelling for about an hour in the snow, Yue Zhong and the rest entered a small town.
The zombies within the town had long since been cleared by the humans, and when those soldiers entered the town, they began searching for suitable homes and shelter as they huddled within, shivering in the cold.
Within a building, Yue Zhong immediately set fire to a wooden bed frame, and a number of the soldiers gathered around the fire to warm themselves up.
The two attributes that determined the body’s resistance to the cold was Vitality and Endurance. Very few Enhancers in the Greater China Alliance had focused on these 2, hence they felt the cold all the way to their bones.
Yue Zhong eyed Duan Zi Ke and asked: “What kind of organization is the Greater China Alliance?”
Although someone had told Yue Zhong about the movements of the Greater China Alliance, the person did not know the exact details and makeup of the Greater China Alliance.
Duan Zi Ke thought for a moment, gathering his thoughts, before he replied directly: “The Greater China Alliance…..”
The Greater China Alliance was an union that was formed from a number of warlord factions coming together. They had communicated through radio. Although it was termed an alliance, in truth, there was almost no relationship between these warlords. It was a load of complete bull. Other than the broadcasting station, they lacked other means of communications. At the same time, no one of them wanted to give up their own establishments they worked so hard to get.
However, after the alliance was formed, the total number of people these warlords shared amongst themselves became over a million, with many experts amongst them. It was a decent-sized threat to anyone who hears of them. Although they did not have any close relationships, they would share intel from time to time, and it became such that an alliance was more beneficial than not.
Jin Sheng Cheng was in charge of the Guang Xi region, which happened to be the strongest force. He had over 80,000 survivors under him, and had opened 2 military camps near him, retrieving 5 infantry battalions’ worth of equipment. At the same time, he established a survivor force of over 20,000, as they went around in search of more resources.
Duan Zi Ke was the leader of one of these forces, numbering at 10,000.
Of course, Jin Sheng Cheng could easily deploy a 20,000-strong army was because he forced a lot of young men to be drafted. As long as there were fit and able-bodied young men, he would conscript them into the forces. These was how he managed to put together a force of 20,000.
Truthfully, if Yue Zhong was that vicious as well, he could easily pull out a force of 200,000. However, their combat power would definitely be lacking, and just paying the wages of the 200,000 would be enough to burn through his resources.
Jin Sheng Cheng’s base of operations was in Ning Hua District, near Bin Qi City. Although he could not conquer a city, subjugating a small district wasn’t a problem.
According to Duan Zi Ke’s explanations, the current force that Jin Sheng Cheng had with him was even stronger than the one that Duan Zi Ke brought out, and not some pushover force.
Yue Zhong looked at Duan Zi Ke and said solemnly: “Tell me all about the callsigns you guys have within Guilin City.”
“Yes!” Duan Zi Ke’s heart went cold and directly gave the information.
Yue Zhong memorised those secret callsigns and told Duan Zi Ke: “I’m going out for a bit! Duan Zi Ke, White Bones, you guys lead the soldiers to rest here within the town for a day.”
“Yes!” Duan Zi Ke eyed White Bones beside him before responding in a clear voice.
White Bones nodded slightly at Yue Zhong. It had already a primary level of intellect, and had gained 1 point of enhancement in it, it already knew how to handle some basic matters.
The moment Yue Zhong went out, he leapt onto Lightning’s back and said solemnly: “Back to Guilin City!”
Lightning instantly unleashed its maximum speed, bounding off into the snowstorm like a hurricane itself. With its speed that broke the sound barrier, sharp winds blanketed Yue Zhong constantly. If it wasn’t for his high Endurance, he would have been shredded to pieces.
With Lightning’s full speed of mach-1, in just half an hour, Yue Zhong had already returned to Guilin City.

"value": "Chapter 397 - Staying Together Under the Same Roof with Beauties\nTranslator: BinBin\nEditor: Nova1237\nThe Chevrolet sedan tore down the street and stopped in front of a high-end residential area.\nThe luscious green neighborhood was spacious, and equipped with many different convenient stores, restaurants, and banks. Ka!\nChang Xin swiped the key card across the reader and opened the villa’s anti-theft door.\nShe entered the villa first. Then, she threw her Chanel purse on the shoe rack, bowed slightly and took off her high heels.\nShe let her pretty feet breathe after taking off the high heels. Even though her feet were shrouded in black pantyhose, one could see that she indeed had beautiful otherworldly feet just from the shape.\n“What are you looking at?” After changing into a pair of bear cotton-padded shoes, Chang Xin raised her head and realized Qin Feng’s eyes were stuck on her legs.\n“Your house’s marble tiles are so classy!” Qin Feng smiled.\nRolling her eyes, Chang Xin threw a pair of disposable slippers to him. Then, she corrected him, “I have wooden flooring in my parlor. Are you blind?”\nQin Feng felt awkward. He put on the slippers and snuggled into the sofa, enjoying the fruit on the table while watching TV.\nSeeing Qin Feng make himself at home, Chang Xin stood on the side with a snappy attitude. She wrapped her arms around her body and looked emotionlessly at Qin Feng. She could not believe that this brat would be so thick-skinned as to ignore her.\nSuddenly, Qin Feng put down an apple that he had in his mouth, looked at Chang Xin and said, “Xin Xin, don’t just standing there. Come here and watch TV with me… Please make yourself at home and don’t be so courteous!”\nChang Xin was helpless at Qin Feng’s shamelessness. He had once again changed her perception of him.\n“I’m going to change my clothes upstairs and deal with you later. Stay on the sofa and don’t move around.”\nChang Xin had a voluptuous butt underneath her tight-fitting black skirt. Her bottom wiggled as she climbed up the flight of stairs. The sight was so aesthetically pleasing that Qin Feng’s eyes almost popped out.\nHe had not touched a single woman in the past three months and now he had to stay with a drop-dead gorgeous beauty under the same roof. Qin Feng felt as if he was on the verge of no longer being able to restrain his burning desire.\nChang Xin came downstairs after ten minutes.\nShe removed her tight-fitted uniform and donned a loose white sleeping gown. As she sat beside Qin Feng, the two red shoulder straps on her mellow jade shoulders made a bid for freedom.\nShe removed her black pantyhose as well, revealing her crystal white, well-defined shins. She even applied red nail polish to her ten toenails.\n“Qin Feng, I can let you stay in my place, but let’s get this straight first: we must first establish a consensus on some points.”\n“Sure, I’m fine with that!” Qin Feng agreed without listening to Chang Xin’s conditions.\nChang Xin rolled her eyes before she continued, “First, your room is on the first floor. That room was originally prepared for our housekeeper but since she is not working here anymore, I’ll let you stay in that room. You can’t go anywhere else in this house aside from the first floor. The second floor and third floor is absolutely forbidden. If you step onto either of the floors even once, I’ll cast you out of this house!\n“Second, don’t ever bring any stranger into my villa!\n“Third, keep away your crooked mind. Don’t ever try to hook up with any one of us otherwise, you’ll face my wrath!”\nQin Feng’s countenance changed slightly and he quickly asked, “Us?”\n“Yes, us. I have another little girl staying with me who is a student at the Provincial Capital University. Even though we’re not blood-related, I treat her just like my own little sister. Don’t you dare harass her or else I’ll kill you!”\nQin Feng seemed unaffected by Chang Xin’s threatening. He put on a smug smile and asked, “Is your little sister beautiful? How does she fare compared to you?”\n“Qin Feng… You’re looking for death!” Qin Feng had pushed a button for Chang Xin. She was furious and she began to regret bringing him back to her house.\n“I’m just joking. If you don’t have anything else to say, then I’ll go back to my room first!” Qin Feng hastily retreated into his room from the war zone, leaving only a fuming Chang Xin alone in the parlor.\nThe room was small; it was sufficient for a bed, a desk, and a cupboard. It was a far cry from Qin Feng’s room in the Qin Manor. However, for the moment, it was considered good enough for Qin Feng.\nHe removed his upper shirt, threw himself on the bed, and initiated the Hedonist Sovereign System.\nThe system that had been in deep slumber for three months finally reactivated itself three hours ago. In addition, the system had released a couple of new missions and Qin Feng had to study every one of them now.\n“Ding… Congratulations Host Qin Feng for helping Chang Xin save the patient in the midst of a heart attack. The system rewards Host Qin Feng 1,000 Hedonist Points and a Five Element Acupuncture Scroll.”\nAncient and obscure memories surged through Qin Feng’s mind. After pieces of memories finally imprinted themselves on his mind, a lot of pieces of knowledge about chinese medicine, herbs, and acupuncture suddenly appeared in his brain. They were the memories of Five Element Acupuncture Scroll.\n“Ding… New mission from Hedonist Sovereign System: Yun Province Disturbance.”\n“Yun Province Disturbance main mission: unify the four cities in Yun Province. Time period: one year. If host Qin Feng successfully clears the mission, the system will reward 30,000 Hedonist Points and Host Qin Feng will gain a chance to activate one of the mystery interfaces in the Hedonist System. If the mission is failed, 60,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and Host Qin Feng will not be allowed to set foot in the Yun Province for the rest of his life!\n“1st side mission of Yun Province Disturbance: destroy the Sima Family in Acropolis City.\n“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random Blue Grade Spiritual Equipment. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.\n“2nd side mission of Yun Province Disturbance: revive the Qin Family in Acropolis City and raise it to the first family of Yun Province.\n“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random Earth Grade Skillbook. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.\n“3rd side mission of Yun Province: investigate the alliance of the Li Family in Yunhai City and the Verdant Sect.\n“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random High Grade Magical Pill. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.\n“Main mission of Martial Competition Disturbance: claim victory in the Qin Family’s competition and became the patriarch of the Qin Family. Time period: half year. The system will reward 20,000 Hedonist Points and a high-end battle armor if the mission is cleared. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and the Qin Family in the provincial capital will perish.\n“1st side mission of Martial Competition Disturbance: investigate the prime mover behind Xu Ruo Rou and defeat him!\n“The system will reward 10,000 Hedonist Points and a bottle of Mutant Gene Potion if the mission is cleared. If the mission is failed, 20,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and Host Qin Feng will never get to see Xu Ruo Rou again.”\n…… The quick succession of mission notifications blew Qin Feng’s mind. Also, an excruciating pain pricked his heart when he saw there was a mission about Xu Ruo Rou.\nEven though three months had passed, Qin Feng still remembered the stab Xu Ruo Rou delivered at that night. Not only did she leave a physical scar on his back, but she also left a wound on his heart that could not heal.\nQin Feng shook his head to shrug off those negative emotions as a smile slowly crawled up his face.\nQin Feng had something that was worth rejoicing over. Ever since the system had become dormant, the time periods for the missions stopped as well. And after the system rebooted, all the time periods for the missions were initialized.\nFor example, the mission ‘train Liu Bing Bing to be as gentle as lamb’ had a time period of three months. This mission had only ten days left when the system shut down. At the time, aside from this mission, there were a few more missions that would soon expire. Then, the system rebooted. Liu Bing Bing’s mission time period had reset and so did the other missions.\n“One who survives a great disaster is destined to have good fortune forever.” The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth arched into a devilish grin.\nIt was time for his revenge!\nThud! Thud! Thud!\nSomebody knocked on his door once he finished checking the missions. Chang Xin came into the room and looked at Qin Feng indifferently.\n“You say you can see through things, and you promised me that you would train me to be like you… When can we start the training?”\nThe only reason Chang Xin brought Qin Feng back was that of his ability to see through things.\nAs a doctor, she had to save people’s lives on the operating table. As such, Chang Xin had been imagining how great it would be if she had a pair of eyes that could see through things so she that could save more people.\n“Whenever you like!” Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders. He never expected her to believe his words.\nChang Xin walked over to Qin Feng and took a seat beside him. Suddenly, she sprang up, tightly covered her breasts and looked warily at Qin Feng, “D-Don’t you ever use your ability to see my body. Or else, I-I’ll kill you!”\n“I’ve seen enough of it. Your body is no different from the others.” Qin Feng pursed his mouth. “Rest assured. I won’t even bat an eye at you even if you removed all your clothes in front of me.”\nChang Xin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to shove Qin Feng out of her house.\nShe was kind of confident with her looks and her body as others had said she the face of an angel and the body of a devil. However, it became a worthless saying when it came to Qin Feng. Tsk, he must be blind.\n“Then hurry up and teach me. I want to master it in a month otherwise, get out of my house!”\nHearing Chang Xin said it with a stern expression, Qin Feng became serious as well.\nHe suddenly came behind Chang Xin and extended his arms, wrapping them around her waist. Without letting her to flew his face, Qin Feng hastily added, “If you want to learn how to see through things, it’s better to stay quiet.”\nChang Xin was going to slap Qin Feng. She resisted her urge and sat beside the bed without putting up a fight after she heard what had Qin Feng said.\nQin Feng slowly placed his hands on Chang Xin’s belly. Her lower abdomen was smooth and flat without any excess fat. Touching her flat tummy with his hands felt great even though it was veiled by her sleeping gown.\nQin Feng then moved his hands down further. When he almost reached her thigh, Chang Xin instantly turned chilly.\n“Ahem! Ahem! We’re just getting started.”\nQin Feng hastily withdrew his hands and returned to Chang Xin’s stomach. Then, he circulated his inner qi and transferred it into Chang Xin’s body.\nChang Xin was shocked. She realized that a gush of cold inner qi was intermittently surging into her stomach and the feeling was very peculiar. It felt like dozens of earthworms wriggling and crawling in her stomach. After a short time, the cold inner qi slowly turned hot and Chang Xin’s body heated up. The inner qi went up her body from her stomach and finally arrived at her eyes. The process so very comfortable that Chang Xin enjoyed it very much.\n“Open your eyes now, and look at the night outside.” Qin Feng’s voice sounded beside her ear, reddening it.\nShe pushed down her burning desire and glance at the view outside.\nBoom!\nChang Xin’s mind exploded; she could not believe it!\nShe suddenly realized her eyesight was better and she could see the view ten meters away. She could even count the number of flower petals that had fallen on the grass field.\n“Is this see-through?” exclaimed Chang Xin.\n“No, it isn’t. This is the first step of the training: clearing your eyesight.\n“To put it bluntly, I restored your eyesight and made it as clear as a newborn baby’s. You can see the view for thousands of miles and get a glimpse of it during the night,” said Qin Feng as he put on a masterful look.\nHowever, he could not resist and laughed inwardly. He merely transferred some inner qi into Chang Xin’s body and directed it to her eyes, facilitating the flow of blood around her eyes.\nAs a result, her eyesight became much clearer than usual and this was child’s play for Qin Feng.\n“Then quickly teach me how to see through things!” She had tasted blood and she was excited.\nShe even ignored the fact that Qin Feng held her waist and touched her belly.\n“Not now. We need to do it slowly, bit by bit. It’s impossible to learn it overnight… Let’s call it a night. I’m tired and I want to sleep now.” Qin Feng had had enough fun with her so he decided to stop now.\nHe wanted to slowly pull her into his trap, tasting her bit by bit and finally devouring her whole.\nChang Xin felt Qin Feng was right. It was impossible to learn such a wonderful skill overnight.\nAfter she retreated from Qin Feng’s room, she pulled out her cell phone and made a call.\n“Big Sister Xin Xin, what made you call me this late at night?” A voice that was as melodious as an oriole wafted from the other end of the line.\n“Yan Yan, I’ve found a male tenant to join us in renting our house. I’m telling you this so that you’re prepared.”\nHua Yan could not calm herself down after she hung up the phone."

第三百九十七章 ?
雪弗兰一路飞驰，最终在一处高档别墅区内停下！
别墅区四周的绿化很好，场地空旷，便利店、餐馆、银行等建设齐全！
常欣玉手中的门卡轻轻一划，别墅的防盗大门应声打开！
她率先走进别墅，将香奈儿的包包丢在鞋柜上，蹲下身子开始脱脚上的高跟鞋。
高跟鞋脱掉，一双黑丝美腿显露无疑，虽然穿着丝袜，但从那黑丝包裹的脚型来看，常欣有着一双极品美足。
“你在看什么？” 常欣穿了双熊棉鞋，抬头就看到秦枫的眼珠子都要贴在自己的腿上。
“你家的大理石地砖真漂亮！” 秦枫笑着道。
常欣没好气的白了他一眼，丢了双一次性的拖鞋在地上：“我家客厅用的地板，你眼瞎啊！”
秦枫都有些尴尬了，穿好拖鞋就进屋在沙发上坐下，拿着茶几上的水果吃的开心，还打开电视换着台看。
看着秦枫真把这里当自己家了，常欣都没好气的站在一边，双手抱胸淡淡的看着秦枫，就不信这子脸皮真那么厚的。 ⑥⑥⑥⑥，m.≡.c≮om
秦枫突然放下咬了一半的苹果，看向常欣：“欣欣，你别光站着啊，快来坐着一起看电视……在这里你就当是在自己家一样的，千万别跟我客气！”
常欣一拍脑门，对秦枫的无耻程度又有了更新的认识！
“我上楼换衣服，一会下来跟你正事，你就好好坐着，别乱动！”
常欣黑色半步裙下包裹的翘臀圆润高挺，上楼的时候一扭一扭的十分性感，看的秦枫眼珠子都要瞪出来！
三个月没碰过女人，突然跟这么个大美女住在一起，秦枫真要把持不住了！
十分钟后！ 常欣下了楼。
褪去那一身紧身的职业装，穿着宽松的白色睡衣坐在秦枫身边，香肩上的两根红色肩带若隐若现。
那双黑丝也被脱掉，露出里面白嫩纤细的腿，脚趾甲上还涂着红色的指甲油，果真是一双极品美足。
“秦枫！ 让你住在我这里可以，但是我事先跟你好，咱们要约法三章！”
秦枫还没听常欣的要求呢，就很爽快的答应下来。
白了秦枫一眼，常欣继续道：“第一，你的房间在一楼，是之前留给保姆住的房间，以后你除了一楼，哪也不准去，二楼三楼是绝对的禁地，你敢上去一次，我立马让你滚蛋！”
“第二，不许带陌生人回我的别墅！”
“第三，收好你的那些歪心思，不准对我们起不轨之心，不然你就死定了！”
秦枫神色一变，急忙问道：“你们？”
“没错，这别墅除了我以外，还住着个京都大学的女学生，她就和我妹妹一样的亲，你要是敢欺负她，你就完蛋了！”
秦枫像是没听到常欣的威胁，一脸坏笑：“你妹妹漂亮么？ 跟你比呢？”
“秦枫…你想死了！”
常欣顿时暴怒，已经后悔把秦枫带回来了。 “开个玩笑，那没事的话，我就先回屋了！” 秦枫连忙跑回到他的房间，留着常欣一个人在那里生着闷气。
房间不大，正好摆下一张床和一个书桌衣柜，这种环境比起秦枫以往的住处，那完全就不能看了，但是对于现在的秦枫来，还算凑合！
他将自己的上衣脱掉，盘膝坐在床上，打开了至尊纨绔系统！
三个时前，沉睡了三个月的系统自动开启，发布了不少新任务，秦枫现在要好好研究一下！
“嘟……恭喜宿主秦枫，完成帮助常欣治疗心脏病患者的任务，系统奖励1000纨绔，五行针法一部！”
秦枫大脑里涌荡起一阵陌生的记忆，很快的，记忆全部融合完成，许多关于中医药材和针灸方面的知识凭空出现，显然就是‘五行针法’的记忆了！
“嘟……至尊纨绔系统发放连环任务，云省风波！”
“发放‘云省风波’主线任务，统一云省四市的局势！ 任务限时一年；成功完成任务，奖励0000纨绔，获得开启系统隐藏界面机会一次；任务失败，扣除60000纨绔，宿主将不得在踏入云省半步！”
“发放‘云省风波’支线任务一，摧毁卫城市司马家族！”
“成功完成任务，获得0000纨绔奖励，随机获得一件蓝装品质灵器装备；任务失败，扣除40000纨绔。”
“发放‘云省风波’支线任务二，重振卫城市秦府，成为云省第一家族！”
“成功完成任务，获得0000纨绔奖励，随机获得一部地级功法秘籍；任务失败，扣除40000纨绔。”
“发放‘云省风波’支线任务三，查出云海市李家幕后跟青门合作的真实行动！”
“嘟……至尊纨绔系统发放连环任务，武会风波！”
“发放‘武会风波’主线任务，拿下秦家武会第一，获得家主之位！ 任务限时半年；成功完成任务，奖励0000纨绔，高科技战装一件；任务失败，扣除40000纨绔，京都秦家将会灭亡！”
“发放‘武会风波’支线任务一，查出许若柔幕后黑手，并将其击败！”
“成功完成任务，获得10000纨绔奖励，异能基因药水一瓶；任务失败，扣除0000纨绔，宿主将再也见不到许若柔！”
一连串的新任务快把秦枫的脑子炸开，当他看到还有个关于许若柔的任务时，心底里顿时涌起一阵撕心裂肺的剧痛！
虽然已经时隔三月，但是秦枫怎么能够忘记那晚的那一刀，这一刀刺下去了，不光是刺在秦枫的后腰，更是刺在了他的心口，留下了一道无法愈合的伤疤！
甩甩头抛开这些不好的情绪，秦枫慢慢笑了起来！
因为有件值得庆幸的事情，自从系统沉睡后，之前的那些任务的时限也跟着静止，而且这次系统重新开启，那些任务的限时竟然都回归到最开始的时间。
就比如关于‘调教柳冰冰’的任务，系统限时三个月，而系统关闭的那一刻，这个任务已经只剩下十天的时间，除了这个任务，还有很多任务快要到期，结果系统一个重启，柳冰冰的任务又回到三个月的限时，其他任务自然也是一样！
“大难不死，必有后福！” 秦枫嘴角扬起一个邪恶的弧度。
他复仇的时刻，正式开始了！
咚咚咚！
刚刚查看完任务，房门就响了起来，常欣一身白色宽松睡衣走了进来，面无表情的看着秦枫。
“你会透视，还能够训练我也能透视……什么时候开始训练？”
常欣带秦枫回来最重要的原因就是透视！
她身为一名西医，经常在手术台上开刀救人，常欣很久以前就幻想着自己如果有双能够透视的眼睛该多好，这样她手术的成功率会十分的高，能够救活更多的病人！
“随时都行！” 秦枫无所谓的耸了耸肩，没想到这种谎话真有人信。
常欣走到秦枫身边坐下，突然又站了起来，紧张的捂着自己的胸口，警惕着秦枫：“你，你从现在开始，不许用透视的能力看我……不然我杀了你！”
“前面都看过了，身材也就那样！” 秦枫撇了撇嘴：“你放心好了，就算你脱光给我看，我也懒得看了！”
常欣深吸了好几口气，按耐住把秦枫轰出去的冲动。
她对自己的样貌和身材还是很有自信的，用天使的面容、魔鬼的身材来形容都不为过，这子倒好，还懒得看？ 简直就是没有审美细胞的臭男人！
“那就快教我如何透视，我限你一个月内必须教会我，不然你就立马滚蛋！”
常欣一脸严肃的神色，秦枫也认真起来。
他突然来到常欣的身后，伸手就从后面挽住常欣的蛮腰，不等常欣反抗，秦枫就开口道：“你要是想学会透视，最好别乱动！”
常欣正要转身甩秦枫一耳光呢，听到这话身子猛地僵住，咬牙切齿的坐在床边，真的没有再挣扎。
秦枫双手慢慢的滑到常欣的腹上面，常欣腹平坦，没有一丝的赘肉，就算是隔着一层棉睡衣，手感也很细腻有弹性。
跟着，秦枫再往下滑，眼见着就要摸到大腿上去，常欣身上的气息猛地冰冷。
“咳咳！ 要开始了！”
秦枫双手快速回抽，落回到常欣腹部，一丝丝气流从他的手掌流出，进入了常欣的体内。
常欣娇躯猛地一紧，突然感受到腹里有一股冰冷的气流涌荡，那感觉奇妙无穷，就像是有一些蚯蚓在里面爬来爬去的，没一会，常欣的身体就滚烫无比。 气流顺着腹一路上升，最后来到常欣的双眼，这个过程让常欣浑身舒爽，眯着眼睛一脸陶醉享受的神情，几次都差叫出声来。
“睁开眼，看看外面的黑夜！” 秦枫的声音响起，热气吹的常欣耳根都红了。
她连忙抑制住心里的蠢蠢欲动，走到窗户边上看着外面漆黑的景象！
轰！
常欣的脑袋顿时炸开！
她发现自己的双眼突然好了很多，竟然能够看到黑夜里几十米外的景象，连草地里落得几片花朵都看的清楚。
常欣惊呼出来。
“这不是透视，是训练透视的第一步，清目！”
“简单的，就是让你的眼睛恢复到新生婴儿那般明亮透彻，一望千里，夜里窥物！” 秦枫摆出一副高深莫测的大师形象！
心里却在一个劲地偷笑，他不过就是运了些内气到常欣眼部，帮助常欣眼睛周全的血管血液疏通，加速循环。
血液通了，视力自然就要比平时的清晰很多，对于秦枫来，根本没什么可大惊怪的！
“那你快让我透视！” 尝到了甜头，常欣激动起来。
这会也不在意秦枫搂过她的腰，摸过她的腹的举动了。
“现在还不行，饭要一口一口吃么，透视也不可能一天练成……今天就到这里吧，我累了，要睡觉了！” 便宜也占了，秦枫准备今天先骗到这里。
等日后在慢慢骗常欣，直到最终吞下这个女人！
常欣也知道突然间就能透视很不现实，便相信了秦枫的话。
离开秦枫的房间，常欣拿出手机打了出去！
“欣欣姐，这么晚了有什么事么？” 电话那边传来一个黄鹂般动听的声音。
家里来了个男人合租，我跟你一声，让你做好心理准备！”
挂了电话，花颜的心情久久无法平息！

Chapter 397 - Staying Together Under the Same Roof with Beauties
Translator: BinBin
Editor: Nova1237
The Chevrolet sedan tore down the street and stopped in front of a high-end residential area.
The luscious green neighborhood was spacious, and equipped with many different convenient stores, restaurants, and banks. Ka!
Chang Xin swiped the key card across the reader and opened the villa’s anti-theft door.
She entered the villa first. Then, she threw her Chanel purse on the shoe rack, bowed slightly and took off her high heels.
She let her pretty feet breathe after taking off the high heels. Even though her feet were shrouded in black pantyhose, one could see that she indeed had beautiful otherworldly feet just from the shape.
“What are you looking at?” After changing into a pair of bear cotton-padded shoes, Chang Xin raised her head and realized Qin Feng’s eyes were stuck on her legs.
“Your house’s marble tiles are so classy!” Qin Feng smiled.
Rolling her eyes, Chang Xin threw a pair of disposable slippers to him. Then, she corrected him, “I have wooden flooring in my parlor. Are you blind?”
Qin Feng felt awkward. He put on the slippers and snuggled into the sofa, enjoying the fruit on the table while watching TV.
Seeing Qin Feng make himself at home, Chang Xin stood on the side with a snappy attitude. She wrapped her arms around her body and looked emotionlessly at Qin Feng. She could not believe that this brat would be so thick-skinned as to ignore her.
Suddenly, Qin Feng put down an apple that he had in his mouth, looked at Chang Xin and said, “Xin Xin, don’t just standing there. Come here and watch TV with me… Please make yourself at home and don’t be so courteous!”
Chang Xin was helpless at Qin Feng’s shamelessness. He had once again changed her perception of him.
“I’m going to change my clothes upstairs and deal with you later. Stay on the sofa and don’t move around.”
Chang Xin had a voluptuous butt underneath her tight-fitting black skirt. Her bottom wiggled as she climbed up the flight of stairs. The sight was so aesthetically pleasing that Qin Feng’s eyes almost popped out.
He had not touched a single woman in the past three months and now he had to stay with a drop-dead gorgeous beauty under the same roof. Qin Feng felt as if he was on the verge of no longer being able to restrain his burning desire.
Chang Xin came downstairs after ten minutes.
She removed her tight-fitted uniform and donned a loose white sleeping gown. As she sat beside Qin Feng, the two red shoulder straps on her mellow jade shoulders made a bid for freedom.
She removed her black pantyhose as well, revealing her crystal white, well-defined shins. She even applied red nail polish to her ten toenails.
“Qin Feng, I can let you stay in my place, but let’s get this straight first: we must first establish a consensus on some points.”
“Sure, I’m fine with that!” Qin Feng agreed without listening to Chang Xin’s conditions.
Chang Xin rolled her eyes before she continued, “First, your room is on the first floor. That room was originally prepared for our housekeeper but since she is not working here anymore, I’ll let you stay in that room. You can’t go anywhere else in this house aside from the first floor. The second floor and third floor is absolutely forbidden. If you step onto either of the floors even once, I’ll cast you out of this house!
“Second, don’t ever bring any stranger into my villa!
“Third, keep away your crooked mind. Don’t ever try to hook up with any one of us otherwise, you’ll face my wrath!”
Qin Feng’s countenance changed slightly and he quickly asked, “Us?”
“Yes, us. I have another little girl staying with me who is a student at the Provincial Capital University. Even though we’re not blood-related, I treat her just like my own little sister. Don’t you dare harass her or else I’ll kill you!”
Qin Feng seemed unaffected by Chang Xin’s threatening. He put on a smug smile and asked, “Is your little sister beautiful? How does she fare compared to you?”
“Qin Feng… You’re looking for death!” Qin Feng had pushed a button for Chang Xin. She was furious and she began to regret bringing him back to her house.
“I’m just joking. If you don’t have anything else to say, then I’ll go back to my room first!” Qin Feng hastily retreated into his room from the war zone, leaving only a fuming Chang Xin alone in the parlor.
The room was small; it was sufficient for a bed, a desk, and a cupboard. It was a far cry from Qin Feng’s room in the Qin Manor. However, for the moment, it was considered good enough for Qin Feng.
He removed his upper shirt, threw himself on the bed, and initiated the Hedonist Sovereign System.
The system that had been in deep slumber for three months finally reactivated itself three hours ago. In addition, the system had released a couple of new missions and Qin Feng had to study every one of them now.
“Ding… Congratulations Host Qin Feng for helping Chang Xin save the patient in the midst of a heart attack. The system rewards Host Qin Feng 1,000 Hedonist Points and a Five Element Acupuncture Scroll.”
Ancient and obscure memories surged through Qin Feng’s mind. After pieces of memories finally imprinted themselves on his mind, a lot of pieces of knowledge about chinese medicine, herbs, and acupuncture suddenly appeared in his brain. They were the memories of Five Element Acupuncture Scroll.
“Ding… New mission from Hedonist Sovereign System: Yun Province Disturbance.”
“Yun Province Disturbance main mission: unify the four cities in Yun Province. Time period: one year. If host Qin Feng successfully clears the mission, the system will reward 30,000 Hedonist Points and Host Qin Feng will gain a chance to activate one of the mystery interfaces in the Hedonist System. If the mission is failed, 60,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and Host Qin Feng will not be allowed to set foot in the Yun Province for the rest of his life!
“1st side mission of Yun Province Disturbance: destroy the Sima Family in Acropolis City.
“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random Blue Grade Spiritual Equipment. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.
“2nd side mission of Yun Province Disturbance: revive the Qin Family in Acropolis City and raise it to the first family of Yun Province.
“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random Earth Grade Skillbook. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.
“3rd side mission of Yun Province: investigate the alliance of the Li Family in Yunhai City and the Verdant Sect.
“A total of 20,000 Hedonist Points will be rewarded if the mission is cleared and Host Qin Feng will get a random High Grade Magical Pill. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted.
“Main mission of Martial Competition Disturbance: claim victory in the Qin Family’s competition and became the patriarch of the Qin Family. Time period: half year. The system will reward 20,000 Hedonist Points and a high-end battle armor if the mission is cleared. If the mission is failed, 40,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and the Qin Family in the provincial capital will perish.
“1st side mission of Martial Competition Disturbance: investigate the prime mover behind Xu Ruo Rou and defeat him!
“The system will reward 10,000 Hedonist Points and a bottle of Mutant Gene Potion if the mission is cleared. If the mission is failed, 20,000 Hedonist Points will be deducted and Host Qin Feng will never get to see Xu Ruo Rou again.”
…… The quick succession of mission notifications blew Qin Feng’s mind. Also, an excruciating pain pricked his heart when he saw there was a mission about Xu Ruo Rou.
Even though three months had passed, Qin Feng still remembered the stab Xu Ruo Rou delivered at that night. Not only did she leave a physical scar on his back, but she also left a wound on his heart that could not heal.
Qin Feng shook his head to shrug off those negative emotions as a smile slowly crawled up his face.
Qin Feng had something that was worth rejoicing over. Ever since the system had become dormant, the time periods for the missions stopped as well. And after the system rebooted, all the time periods for the missions were initialized.
For example, the mission ‘train Liu Bing Bing to be as gentle as lamb’ had a time period of three months. This mission had only ten days left when the system shut down. At the time, aside from this mission, there were a few more missions that would soon expire. Then, the system rebooted. Liu Bing Bing’s mission time period had reset and so did the other missions.
“One who survives a great disaster is destined to have good fortune forever.” The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth arched into a devilish grin.
It was time for his revenge!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Somebody knocked on his door once he finished checking the missions. Chang Xin came into the room and looked at Qin Feng indifferently.
“You say you can see through things, and you promised me that you would train me to be like you… When can we start the training?”
The only reason Chang Xin brought Qin Feng back was that of his ability to see through things.
As a doctor, she had to save people’s lives on the operating table. As such, Chang Xin had been imagining how great it would be if she had a pair of eyes that could see through things so she that could save more people.
“Whenever you like!” Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders. He never expected her to believe his words.
Chang Xin walked over to Qin Feng and took a seat beside him. Suddenly, she sprang up, tightly covered her breasts and looked warily at Qin Feng, “D-Don’t you ever use your ability to see my body. Or else, I-I’ll kill you!”
“I’ve seen enough of it. Your body is no different from the others.” Qin Feng pursed his mouth. “Rest assured. I won’t even bat an eye at you even if you removed all your clothes in front of me.”
Chang Xin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to shove Qin Feng out of her house.
She was kind of confident with her looks and her body as others had said she the face of an angel and the body of a devil. However, it became a worthless saying when it came to Qin Feng. Tsk, he must be blind.
“Then hurry up and teach me. I want to master it in a month otherwise, get out of my house!”
Hearing Chang Xin said it with a stern expression, Qin Feng became serious as well.
He suddenly came behind Chang Xin and extended his arms, wrapping them around her waist. Without letting her to flew his face, Qin Feng hastily added, “If you want to learn how to see through things, it’s better to stay quiet.”
Chang Xin was going to slap Qin Feng. She resisted her urge and sat beside the bed without putting up a fight after she heard what had Qin Feng said.
Qin Feng slowly placed his hands on Chang Xin’s belly. Her lower abdomen was smooth and flat without any excess fat. Touching her flat tummy with his hands felt great even though it was veiled by her sleeping gown.
Qin Feng then moved his hands down further. When he almost reached her thigh, Chang Xin instantly turned chilly.
“Ahem! Ahem! We’re just getting started.”
Qin Feng hastily withdrew his hands and returned to Chang Xin’s stomach. Then, he circulated his inner qi and transferred it into Chang Xin’s body.
Chang Xin was shocked. She realized that a gush of cold inner qi was intermittently surging into her stomach and the feeling was very peculiar. It felt like dozens of earthworms wriggling and crawling in her stomach. After a short time, the cold inner qi slowly turned hot and Chang Xin’s body heated up. The inner qi went up her body from her stomach and finally arrived at her eyes. The process so very comfortable that Chang Xin enjoyed it very much.
“Open your eyes now, and look at the night outside.” Qin Feng’s voice sounded beside her ear, reddening it.
She pushed down her burning desire and glance at the view outside.
Boom!
Chang Xin’s mind exploded; she could not believe it!
She suddenly realized her eyesight was better and she could see the view ten meters away. She could even count the number of flower petals that had fallen on the grass field.
“Is this see-through?” exclaimed Chang Xin.
“No, it isn’t. This is the first step of the training: clearing your eyesight.
“To put it bluntly, I restored your eyesight and made it as clear as a newborn baby’s. You can see the view for thousands of miles and get a glimpse of it during the night,” said Qin Feng as he put on a masterful look.
However, he could not resist and laughed inwardly. He merely transferred some inner qi into Chang Xin’s body and directed it to her eyes, facilitating the flow of blood around her eyes.
As a result, her eyesight became much clearer than usual and this was child’s play for Qin Feng.
“Then quickly teach me how to see through things!” She had tasted blood and she was excited.
She even ignored the fact that Qin Feng held her waist and touched her belly.
“Not now. We need to do it slowly, bit by bit. It’s impossible to learn it overnight… Let’s call it a night. I’m tired and I want to sleep now.” Qin Feng had had enough fun with her so he decided to stop now.
He wanted to slowly pull her into his trap, tasting her bit by bit and finally devouring her whole.
Chang Xin felt Qin Feng was right. It was impossible to learn such a wonderful skill overnight.
After she retreated from Qin Feng’s room, she pulled out her cell phone and made a call.
“Big Sister Xin Xin, what made you call me this late at night?” A voice that was as melodious as an oriole wafted from the other end of the line.
“Yan Yan, I’ve found a male tenant to join us in renting our house. I’m telling you this so that you’re prepared.”
Hua Yan could not calm herself down after she hung up the phone.

"value": "Chapter 40 The Princess was Not Someone to Be Trifled with\n\"What do you think?\" Long Tianhao looked at the woman standing in front of him and asked. She was not stupid, instead, she was very smart.\nHowever, she still needed more training and experience to be his helper.\n\"Since I have no other choices, I have to follow your arrangements.\" In this world, there was no gain without pain.\nThere were too many people who were related to her.\nBoth Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu needed her protection and the man standing in front of her was obviously her only chance.\n\"You should stay in bed and recover from your injuries. By the way, I've heard that you're good at interrogating prisoners. I've already seized the governor and I hope that you can elicit some useful information from him.\"\nLong Tianhao turned around and strode out of her room.\nThe governor? She was eager to meet him!\nPrince Yu's Mansion suffered heavy losses from the big fire. But they hid this well and no one knew that Princess Yu was nearly killed by the fire.\nWith Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu's care and concern and the numerous valuable herbs, Lin Mengya was restored to health and had no scar in her skin.\n\"Miss, the Prince is good to you!\" Baizhi smiled and held a small jade bottle and carefully applied the medicine to Lin Mengya's wound.\n\"Are you moved by these medicines? Well, you're easy to be bought over.\" Lin Mengya lay on her bed and felt disappointed. It seemed that the Prince provided her with all these good medicines for free.\nBut she got these at the cost of her life.\nThe battle between the princes was very dangerous. A small mistake may cost their lives and all the belongings. Even she had no perfect plan.\n\"Master, I'm not talking about the medicine. It was the Prince who took you out of the fire that day, do you remember?\" Her bright eyes were flashing with admiration. It was obvious that this girl worshiped the Prince and treated him as the hero.\nLin Mengya's eyes dropped. She sighed and thought that Long Tianhao was really good at buying popularity and she still had a long way to go.\n\"Princess, the Prince asked me to invite you for a meeting.\" They heard Steward Deng's voice outside of the room.\n\"OK. The Prince needs to wait for a moment and I'll be over there right now.\"\nLin Mengya dressed herself up with the help of Baizhi. Her long hair, which flowed to her waist, was cut by half because of the fire. But now, she looked more beautiful and energetic with her hair hanging on her shoulder.\n\"Steward Deng, I'm relieved to see that you're safe.\" Steward Deng was waiting for her with a serious face and smiled when he saw Lin Mengya.\n\"Princess, thanks to you, I come back alive. Please don't worry, the Prince has already given enough allowances to the families of the three guards and solved everything.\"\nLin Mengya smiled, but she had already made up her mind.\nShe would definitely take reprisals against the enemy or repay the favor to her benefactor, so she would never forget the sacrifices of these three guards.\nThey kept walking forward. But they were not going to the Prince's study room or the main hall.\nInstead, they turned around and went behind the rockery in the small garden of Prince Yu's Mansion.\nSure enough, Steward Deng reached out and moved in a small hole of the rockery and Lin Mengya heard the rough sound of the mechanism.\n\"Princess, please follow me. There're mechanisms.\"\nNo wonder he was so careful. This was the secret prison of the Prince Yu's Mansion.\nLin Mengya nodded and followed Steward Deng carefully.\nThe road leading to the secret prison was crooked and the winding path only allowed two people to walk side by side.\nThere were lights made of moonstones around them, which was giving out terrifying faint lights. She suddenly smelled the water vapor and realized that the cell was built in a small lake in the garden.\nIt was awesome! It seemed that she had underestimated Prince Yu's Mansion. How many secrets were hidden in this big mansion?\n\"Princess, please come in.\" She saw a solid stone gate at the end of the path. Steward Deng reached out and touched the gate and the door rose quietly.\nThey stepped into the stone gate. A moist, rancid smell assailed her nostrils.\nBut the air was sufficient and she didn't feel suffocated at all.\nBeside the aisles were all stone doors. There was only a very small iron window in the upper part of the stone door.\n\"The prisoners held here are all those who try to harm the Prince, including the assassin who dared to assassinate the Prince on that day.\" Steward Deng explained patiently after finding that Lin Mengya was puzzled.\n\"Well, I see.\" Lin Mengya nodded and said. This secret prison was very safe and it was difficult to find from the outside.\nThe Prince showed her this secret, which meant that he trusted her and they were on the same side. But Lin Mengya also knew that she would definitely be killed if she betrayed them or failed to meet his expectations.\nShe had been forced to be on the same boat with them!\nSoon, they walked to another stone door and opened it. Long Tianhao was standing quietly in the darkness.\n\"Prince, Princess is here.\" Steward Deng bowed and quietly stayed at the door. Lin Mengya felt that Long Tianhao was looking at her and she smiled slightly.\n\"Princess, do you want me to elicit some useful information from the governor?\"\nThe governor was still wearing pajamas and was tied to a stake in this room.\nHis mouth was blocked by cloth. It seemed that he had enjoyed the past few days.\nBut now, he was still staring at her. Lin Mengya clearly knew that he was trying to threaten her and fought to the last ditch.\n\"You can do whatever you want and I only want valuable information.\" Steward Deng had told him that Lin Mengya had special ways of interrogating prisoners.\nThis governor was hard to deal with and they failed to force him to talk. Since Lin Mengya was shrewd and good at punishment, he wanted her to interrogate this prisoner.\n\"All right.\"\nLin Mengya stood in front of the governor and suddenly had a good idea.\nShe smiled, came near the governor and whispered to him.\nIn a few words, she managed to threaten the governor. He stared at Lin Mengya as if she was the demon.\n\"Soak the whip in the salt water and flog the governor soundly.\"\nHer voice was soft and gentle while what she had said was horrible.\nThe whip in the torture room was terrible.

第四十章
“你觉得呢？” 龙天昱看着前的女人，她不笨，甚至可以说得上很聪明。
只是，如果要成为自己的助力，却还需要历练。
“既然没得选，那我听从王爷的安排就是了。” 在这个世界上，想要得到什么，就得付出什么。
跟她休戚相关的人，实在是太多了。
不管是白芷，还是林中玉，都需要她的庇护，而眼前的男人，很显然就是自己唯一的机会。
“你好好养伤便是，对了，我听说你审讯犯人很有本事，那个府尹已经被我拿下了。 希望，你可以挖出点什么有用的东西。”
转身，龙天昱大步流星的走出了林梦雅的房间。
看来她真的是要好好的会一会了！ 一场大火，然昱王府损兵折将。
只不过，外界隐瞒的得很好，无人知道堂堂的昱王妃，竟然在火场差点烧死。
在白芷跟林中玉的照顾下，流水般的灵药，愣是让林梦雅一点疤痕都没留下。
“小姐，王爷对您还真是不错呢！” 白芷笑盈盈的捧着一只小玉瓶，小心翼翼的给林梦雅上药。
“几瓶芙蓉玉露散，就把你给收买了，你还真是好收买。” 林梦雅无语的躺在床上，别看那些灵药好像是不要钱一样的送到了她的床前。
但这些，都是她的卖命钱。
皇子之间的争斗，稍微一不留神，就可能会万劫不复，哪怕是她，都没有什么万全的法子。
“奴婢说的不是这个，小姐，你记不记得，那天在火场里，是王爷把你抱出来的。” 闪着晶亮的眸子，看来这丫头，是把龙天昱当成了英雄来崇拜了。
垂下眸子，林梦雅轻叹一声，不得不说，龙天昱收买人心的手段，她可是自愧弗如。
“王妃，属下是奉王爷之命，前来请娘娘一同议事的。”
“好，请王爷稍后，我即刻就到。”
林梦雅在白芷的服侍下，梳洗一新。 及腰的长发，因为火场的关系，而少了一小半，可垂在肩头，更显活泼美艳。
只是脸色还有些苍白，远看，颇有些病西施的娇柔之美。 “邓管家，看到你安全无恙，我也就放心了。”
“托王妃的福，属下捡了一条命回来。 不过王妃请宽心，那三个兄弟，王爷都命人送去了安家费，上下都打点好了。”
林梦雅略笑了笑，可心头，却打定了主意。
她是个有仇报仇，有恩报恩的人，这三个侍卫的恩情，她永世不忘。
俩人一路前行，既不是去王爷的书房，也不是去正厅。
反而是七拐八拐的，到了王府小花园的假山后面。
果然，邓管家伸出手，在假山的一处小洞里略鼓动了一下，一阵让人牙酸的机括声传来。
“王妃且跟在属下后面，这里面，有机关。”
怪不得如此的小心，原来，这里就是王府的密牢。
林梦雅点了点头，跟在邓管家的身后，步步小心。
密牢九曲十八弯，蜿蜒的小径，只能允许俩个人并排通行。
鼻尖，突然嗅到了一丝水汽，感情，这密牢，竟然是建造在花园中的小湖中的。
好大的手笔！ 看来，终究是她小瞧了昱王府了，偌大的王府里，究竟还隐藏着多少的秘密？
“王妃请。” 只见小径的终点，是一扇坚固的石门，邓管家伸手在墙上摸了摸，最后，那石门竟然安安静静的升起了。
步入石门内，迎面而来的，就是一股子潮湿腐臭的味道。
只是空气倒是很充裕，丝毫没有胸口闷闷的感觉。
过道的旁边，全部都是严丝合缝的石门，只有在石门的上部，一扇极为小巧的铁窗而已。
“这里，关押的都是企图对王爷不利的人。 包括那天，胆敢刺杀王爷的刺客。”
“哦，原来如此。” 林梦雅点了点头，这密牢倒是很保险，在外面也极难发现。
能让她下来，也是把她当成了自己人，可同时也意味着，知道得越多，也就会死的越惨。
这是在拉她下水呢！
很快，俩个人就走到了一扇石门前，推门进去，龙天昱高大的身影，正静静的站在黑暗中。
“王爷，王妃到了。” 邓管家行了礼，就安静的守在了门口，林梦雅感觉到龙天昱的眼神扫了过来，只是微微一笑。
“王爷叫我来，可是为了，从府尹的口中，挖出什么有用的信息么？”
房间内，那还穿着中衣的府尹，被绑在了木桩上。
嘴里还塞着布条，看样子，这几天的生活，过得是相当的不错。
只是现在，还瞪圆了眼睛，不用他说，林梦雅也知道，他应该是在恐吓自己，做最后的挣扎。
“随便你，本王只想听到有用的事情。” 他邓管家说过，林梦雅的审讯手段，别具一格。
既有酷刑，也有心机手段，正好，这个府尹油盐不进，想看看她，有没有什么办法。
“是。”
林梦雅站在府尹的面前，心头微动，想必是有了办法。
只是俩句话而已，却让府尹的脸色微变。
一双眼睛，像是见到了鬼一般的，看向是林梦雅。
“来人，用鞭子沾上盐水，先给府尹松松皮。”
轻柔婉转的声音，却酷似恶魔。
行刑的鞭子极其霸道，都带着倒刺，一鞭子下去，就能带起一片血肉。
再加上了盐水，那酸爽，更是呈几何倍数增长。
“王妃，要打多少鞭？” 行刑的侍卫，低声问道。
可林梦雅却不怀好意的看了看府尹，看来，是打算硬抗过去了么？
没那么简单。
“我不说停，你们就不许停，邓管家，却给我准备点参汤，各式上好的金疮药，哦对了，再给我准备十个软木橛子，能塞到他嘴里那一种。”
这哪里是拷问，简直就是在以折磨犯人为乐啊。
看了那还在硬抗的府尹一眼，所有人，都觉得接下来的事情，会格外的精彩。
一个人受到严刑拷打并不可怕，可怕的是，这种痛苦没有尽头。
看不到希望的折磨，才是最可怕，最让人崩溃的。
如果是意志力薄弱的人，最后不是傻就是疯了。
若是你不招呢，我就每天每夜的折腾你。 不过你放心，我不像他们，我对你用的刑罚，都是他们听都没听过的。” 林梦雅睁着一双晶亮的眸子，看向府尹的眼神里，竟然多了一抹雀跃。
她在大学的时候，曾经看过一本书，叫做刑罚的艺术。
加注在身体上的痛苦，只是刑罚的一部分，摧毁人的精神意志，才是刑罚到最高目的。
“唔——呜呜呜——”府尹做梦都没想到，堂堂一个昱王妃，竟然是个喜欢折磨人为乐的变态。
“可以了，行刑吧。” 不由分说，周围行刑的侍卫们，扬起了手中的鞭子，‘啪’的一声，抽在了府尹的身上。
顿时，那堪比杀猪的嚎叫，响彻了整个地牢。
林梦雅叫人搬了张小凳，拿了点瓜子，悠闲看戏。
“那个，左边那个，去换一条新鞭子。 右边那个，沾盐水沾盐水。”
一边嗑着瓜子，一边还指导着行刑的侍卫。 如果忽略掉血肉横飞的府尹，倒像是在看杂耍。
“王爷，这么下去，会不会——”邓管家有些忧心的看着那嚎叫开始减弱的府尹，生怕这么下去，还没招供，人先死了。
“不会。” 龙天昱就静静的站在了黑暗里看着，他明白，之所以林梦雅，会做出这幅样子，完全，就是要让府尹认为，她丝毫不看重所谓的招供而已。
但是，在这种无边无际的痛苦中，又只有招供，才能换来片刻的宁静。
相信，用不了多久，那男人就会挺不住的。
“把他嘴里的东西拿出来，问问他有没有什么想说的？” 林梦雅吩咐人去拿掉了府尹嘴里的破布，可还没等他开口林梦雅立刻叫道。
府尹瞪大了眼睛，一口气憋在了肚子里，这是什么路数？ 难道不是应该自己叫嚣一下，然后，林梦雅气急败坏么？
此时，府尹的内心是崩溃的。
可林梦雅，却远没有表面上看起来那么的轻松。
听邓管家说，这人，应该是那天那个神秘组织里的人，而且武功也不差。
可隐藏这么年，能成为京都府尹，那在官场里，应该是混的还不错。
在官场里摸爬滚打那么久了，多多少少的，也就沾染了一些官僚的做派。
只需要一个机会，他就会把自己知道的，全部都倒出来！

Chapter 40 The Princess was Not Someone to Be Trifled with
"What do you think?" Long Tianhao looked at the woman standing in front of him and asked. She was not stupid, instead, she was very smart.
However, she still needed more training and experience to be his helper.
"Since I have no other choices, I have to follow your arrangements." In this world, there was no gain without pain.
There were too many people who were related to her.
Both Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu needed her protection and the man standing in front of her was obviously her only chance.
"You should stay in bed and recover from your injuries. By the way, I've heard that you're good at interrogating prisoners. I've already seized the governor and I hope that you can elicit some useful information from him."
Long Tianhao turned around and strode out of her room.
The governor? She was eager to meet him!
Prince Yu's Mansion suffered heavy losses from the big fire. But they hid this well and no one knew that Princess Yu was nearly killed by the fire.
With Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu's care and concern and the numerous valuable herbs, Lin Mengya was restored to health and had no scar in her skin.
"Miss, the Prince is good to you!" Baizhi smiled and held a small jade bottle and carefully applied the medicine to Lin Mengya's wound.
"Are you moved by these medicines? Well, you're easy to be bought over." Lin Mengya lay on her bed and felt disappointed. It seemed that the Prince provided her with all these good medicines for free.
But she got these at the cost of her life.
The battle between the princes was very dangerous. A small mistake may cost their lives and all the belongings. Even she had no perfect plan.
"Master, I'm not talking about the medicine. It was the Prince who took you out of the fire that day, do you remember?" Her bright eyes were flashing with admiration. It was obvious that this girl worshiped the Prince and treated him as the hero.
Lin Mengya's eyes dropped. She sighed and thought that Long Tianhao was really good at buying popularity and she still had a long way to go.
"Princess, the Prince asked me to invite you for a meeting." They heard Steward Deng's voice outside of the room.
"OK. The Prince needs to wait for a moment and I'll be over there right now."
Lin Mengya dressed herself up with the help of Baizhi. Her long hair, which flowed to her waist, was cut by half because of the fire. But now, she looked more beautiful and energetic with her hair hanging on her shoulder.
"Steward Deng, I'm relieved to see that you're safe." Steward Deng was waiting for her with a serious face and smiled when he saw Lin Mengya.
"Princess, thanks to you, I come back alive. Please don't worry, the Prince has already given enough allowances to the families of the three guards and solved everything."
Lin Mengya smiled, but she had already made up her mind.
She would definitely take reprisals against the enemy or repay the favor to her benefactor, so she would never forget the sacrifices of these three guards.
They kept walking forward. But they were not going to the Prince's study room or the main hall.
Instead, they turned around and went behind the rockery in the small garden of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Sure enough, Steward Deng reached out and moved in a small hole of the rockery and Lin Mengya heard the rough sound of the mechanism.
"Princess, please follow me. There're mechanisms."
No wonder he was so careful. This was the secret prison of the Prince Yu's Mansion.
Lin Mengya nodded and followed Steward Deng carefully.
The road leading to the secret prison was crooked and the winding path only allowed two people to walk side by side.
There were lights made of moonstones around them, which was giving out terrifying faint lights. She suddenly smelled the water vapor and realized that the cell was built in a small lake in the garden.
It was awesome! It seemed that she had underestimated Prince Yu's Mansion. How many secrets were hidden in this big mansion?
"Princess, please come in." She saw a solid stone gate at the end of the path. Steward Deng reached out and touched the gate and the door rose quietly.
They stepped into the stone gate. A moist, rancid smell assailed her nostrils.
But the air was sufficient and she didn't feel suffocated at all.
Beside the aisles were all stone doors. There was only a very small iron window in the upper part of the stone door.
"The prisoners held here are all those who try to harm the Prince, including the assassin who dared to assassinate the Prince on that day." Steward Deng explained patiently after finding that Lin Mengya was puzzled.
"Well, I see." Lin Mengya nodded and said. This secret prison was very safe and it was difficult to find from the outside.
The Prince showed her this secret, which meant that he trusted her and they were on the same side. But Lin Mengya also knew that she would definitely be killed if she betrayed them or failed to meet his expectations.
She had been forced to be on the same boat with them!
Soon, they walked to another stone door and opened it. Long Tianhao was standing quietly in the darkness.
"Prince, Princess is here." Steward Deng bowed and quietly stayed at the door. Lin Mengya felt that Long Tianhao was looking at her and she smiled slightly.
"Princess, do you want me to elicit some useful information from the governor?"
The governor was still wearing pajamas and was tied to a stake in this room.
His mouth was blocked by cloth. It seemed that he had enjoyed the past few days.
But now, he was still staring at her. Lin Mengya clearly knew that he was trying to threaten her and fought to the last ditch.
"You can do whatever you want and I only want valuable information." Steward Deng had told him that Lin Mengya had special ways of interrogating prisoners.
This governor was hard to deal with and they failed to force him to talk. Since Lin Mengya was shrewd and good at punishment, he wanted her to interrogate this prisoner.
"All right."
Lin Mengya stood in front of the governor and suddenly had a good idea.
She smiled, came near the governor and whispered to him.
In a few words, she managed to threaten the governor. He stared at Lin Mengya as if she was the demon.
"Soak the whip in the salt water and flog the governor soundly."
Her voice was soft and gentle while what she had said was horrible.
The whip in the torture room was terrible. It had barbs and could cut off the prisoner's flesh.
After being soaked in the salt water, the whip could cause more pain on the prisoner.
"Princess, how many do you want?" The guard who was gonna whip the governor asked in a low voice.
But Lin Mengya looked at the governor viciously. It seemed that he was determined to endure the pain without saying anything.
Well, it was not that simple.
"Don't stop until I tell you. Steward Deng, go and prepare Ginseng Decoction and all kinds of good medicines for the knife wound. By the way, find ten corks and I want to gag him." Instantly, all the people in the room gasped.
This was not interrogation at all. The Princess was trying to torture the prisoner and she actually enjoyed this process.
Looking at the governor, who was still resisting, all people believed that things that happened next would be wonderful.
It was not terrible to be tortured, but it was terrible that the torture was endless.
It was the most terrible and frustrating thing to be tortured without knowing when it would come to an end.
If the prisoner was feeble-minded, he would definitely become silly or crazy.
"If you tell us the truth, I'll give you a day off before whipping you once again. But if you refuse, I'll torture you day and night. Don't worry, I'm different from others and I'm sure they had never heard of these punishments."
When she was in college, she once read a book called The Art of Punishment.
Physical pain was only part of the penalty. The highest purpose of punishment was to destroy the spiritual will of the person.
"Uh! Ah..." The governor didn't expect that Princess Yu was a psychopath who enjoyed torturing others.
"Well, let's get started." The guards standing around instantly raised the whips on their hands and lashed the governor with the crack sound.
Suddenly, the governor howled like a pig being killed and his creams reverberated in the room.
Lin Mengya asked someone to find a small stool. She took some melon seeds and watched the governor leisurely.
"The guard on the left, go and get a new whip. The one on the right, dip your whip in the salt water." She was instructing the guards while eating her snacks.
If we ignored the governor who was bleeding and screaming, we would think that she was watching the variety show.
"Prince, if we keep whipping him, he might..." Steward Deng looked worriedly at the governor, whose screams had become weak. He was afraid that the governor might die before making a confession.
"No." Long Tianhao stood quietly in the darkness and watched. He clearly knew Lin Mengya's intentions and ideas. She wanted to make the governor believe that she didn't value his confession at all.
However, in this endless suffering, he could get a moment of peace only by making a confession.
He believed that it would not take long for this man to give up.
"Take out the things in his mouth and ask if he wants to say anything." Lin Mengya told the people to take off the rags in his mouth. But she said once again before the governor even opened his mouth.
"It seems that he has nothing to say. Block his mouth and keep whipping." The governor's eyes widened and he was shocked by Lin Mengya's behavior. He thought that Lin Mengya would be irritated by his abuses, but in fact, he didn't even have the chance to say anything.
He was depressed at this moment.
But Lin Mengya was not as relaxed as she looked.
Steward Deng told her that this man also belonged to the mysterious organization and he was a master of the martial arts.
But over the years, he had successfully concealed his identity and become the governor of the capital city. So, he did pretty well in handling official affairs.
After spending years in the official circle, he must have developed some bureaucratic habits. It was easier to force him to tell the truth while other forest outlaws would endure the torture and fight to the death.
If he had the chance, he would definitely tell them everything he knew!

Every day, you cook me delicious food, but you most likely have spent a lot of money on it, right? How about letting me pay for the meals next time?” Cheng Yu asked seriously. After interacting with her for so long, Cheng Yu had understood his teacher’s lifestyle. Her room was very simply decorated, and her cosmetic products were only a few of those cheap skincare products. This all showed that her living conditions were not ideal and could be defined as sub-par.\nAfter he had followed Yang Ruoxue and Lan Ya out for shopping numerous times, he gained some knowledge on women’s lifestyles. Inside Yao Na’s room, she didn’t possess anything expensive, as even her handbag was also a very ordinary one.\nEvery day, Cheng Yu would have his dinner at her place, and it caused him to feel very embarrassed about it. She had been painstakingly tutoring him and also cooking for him. In addition to her beauty and her gentleness, she was really the perfect candidate to be a loving mother and wife.\n“My salary isn’t that high, but if it were to you a meal every single day, I can still afford it. If you really wish to help me, then you should really take studying seriously. During the national exam, I hope you get good grades. This would be the best payment you can give me.”\n“En. Rest assured. I promised you before that I will definitely get into Yunhai University.”\n“That will be the best. I also believe that with your intelligence and your ability to learn, getting into Yunhai University won’t be a hard issue. But you mustn’t be complacent because of this. Studying is like walking against the current, you mustn’t retreat at all cost. You are left with a month more to the national exam. No matter how hard working you must be, it is also during this period of time before everything comes to head,” With regards to Cheng Yu’s learning ability, Yao Na wasn’t worried at all. It was that he was too lazy, and without any encouragement given to him, he will never do his best.\n“En, en. I know. I have already heard you countless times. Tomorrow is the weekend. Let’s go out and have some fun.”\n“Not going. During the weekends, I need to go back home,” Yao Na rejected.\n“Where’s your home? Let me follow you back to visit my mother-in-law.”\n“Don’t talk nonsense. Who’s your mother-in-law? I am not telling you. In any case, it’s not that far from Yunhai.”\n“I can at least send you there, so you don’t have to take the trouble of getting a car.”\n“It’s fine. Alright, you go and study first. I will tidy up the dining area,” Yao Na started to clean up the plates on the dining table.\nThe next day, Yang Ruoxue gave Cheng Yu a call and asked him to come over to her place to discuss the issue of how they should sell the Longevity Pill in the market.\n“Ruoxue, the Rejuvenation Pill and Eternal Youth Pill have already been on the market for a month, how are the sales so far?” Cheng Yu laid down on the sofa as he asked Yang Ruoxue.\n“We are only selling in the surrounding malls around Yunhai. Therefore the range of sales is quite narrow. The sales this month was around 700 million,” talking about the sales of the pill, Yang Ruoxue was elated.\nPreviously, when she was developing new cosmetic products, she needed a large amount of promoters to help her market the product and also needed a large group of researchers to continuously innovate and improve the product.\nHowever, after Cheng Yu had passed her these two pills, there was no longer a need for that. The formula Cheng Yu had given her was perfect. The only thing that she need to worry about was the secrecy of the formula. As for sales, it was never a problem to her.\nAfter a lot of advertisement, as well as the surprise reaction of users, the Rejuvenation Pill and Eternal Youth Pill were the hottest topic when women were in discussion.\n“700 million? So much!” Cheng Yu was startled. Only on the market for a month and it already had sales of 700 million. If it were to be sold to the surrounding cities, or even the whole country, the profits he would be getting would definitely be a frightening figure.\n“Of course. It is because the Rejuvenation Pill and Eternal Youth Pill comes in a set. Since they are going to buy one of them, they don’t mind getting the other pill as well. Besides, by buying both, there will be a discount for customers.”\n“Currently, there isn’t an issue. But if we were to sell in all the shopping malls in the nation, there may be some difficulty,” when it came to this point, Yang Ruoxue said awkwardly.\n“We should expand the manufacturing then. At least prepare for the future when we sell to the whole nation.”\n“En. I am preparing for it. It is just that I am still looking for bigger land. However, there are a large amount of shopping malls that wish to cooperate with us. They want to become our agents in order to gain the right of selling the pills. They want to act as exclusive dealers. What is your opinion on this?”\n“Of course not. The only way to get the pill should be through us. In the future, there will definitely be more pills that will arise. Besides, this is the chance for us to scale up our production and it is not suitable to increase the supply in the market. At the current moment, we should just satisfy the demand of Yunhai City.” His pills were unique and unmatched, but was also something meant for profiting. Since he wasn’t going to sell the patent, why would he let others know the formula?\n“How about the Longevity Pill? Do you still want to release it into the market?” Yang Ruoxue asked.\n“Let’s not release it first. The Longevity Pill definitely has to have a sky-high price. It should be a luxury item, so the higher the price, the better. Not only can it bring in maximum profits, it will also lessen the pressure of production. Furthermore, it will also showcase it is a luxury. Extending one’s life is something that should only be afforded by the rich. If they are poor, it will be better for them to die early, why bother live a life of suffering?”\n“Ruoxue, whenever you laugh, you look so beautiful. You should really laugh more whenever you are with me. Like that, I wouldn’t need to eat the Longevity Pill, but I would also have a long lifespan.”\n“Who is going to laugh for you? You should ask the big *** woman to laugh for you,” the moment she heard what Cheng Yu asked of her, Yang Ruoxue immediately restrained her laughter and said ill-humoredly.\n“Hehe. Ruoxue, are you also jealous of her big ***? If you are willing, I can also help you grow bigger,” Cheng Yu smirked and said.\n“Her big *** were caused by you?” With regards to Lan Ya’s enormous ***, Yang Ruoxue was really envious of them.\n“Of course not. I don’t even know what the girl ate, but she was born with huge ***. Actually, your current size is quite perfect, too big isn’t always a good thing.”\n“Hmph! I don’t need your opinion. My grandfather is looking for you. He has something he wishes to discuss with you. I hope you would be able make a trip down to his house.” When she heard Cheng Yu had praised her size was perfect, Yang Ruoxue felt a sense of happiness. She quickly changed the topic though.\n“Your grandfather? Could it be he is finally going to betroth you to me? I guess I will have to prepare a betrothal gift then.”\n“I am too lazy to bother with your shenanigans. Follow me.”\n“Xiao Yu, I am afraid you have truly forgotten about this old man, right? It’s been so long since you visited me. If it was not because I asked Ruoxue to invite you over, I guess you will have also forgotten about the address of this old man as well.” The moment Cheng Yu was about to sat down in the hall, Yang Ruoxue brought over Yang Tianhu and several uncles.\n“Haha! Recently I am busy with my studies, that is why I didn’t have time to visit Grandpa Yang. I hope Grandpa Yang would forgive me and not hassle me,” Cheng Yu stood up and laughed.\n“Haha! I am just joking with you. How could I hassle you? You are currently our Yang family’s big benefactor.”\n“Grandpa Yang, what you said seems like you are regarding me as an outsider. I have always considered Ruoxue as someone close to me. That is to say that we are like a family. Since we are a family, when is there such a word like ‘benefactor’ to a family.”\n“I like what Xiao Yu just said. I always liked your straightforwardness. Not hypocritical or pretentious.” Regarding Cheng Yu, Yang Tianhu really liked him from the bottom of his heart. Besides, Cheng Yu was someone who had true ability, and even if he were to be called an extraordinary man, it was also not an exaggeration.\nYang Tianhu was someone who had witnessed all kinds of people, and he knew that Cheng Yu wasn’t a mortal and he knew that these people were usually very arrogant. However, Cheng Yu didn’t possess such haughtiness.\n“Hehe, Grandpa Yang is overpraising me.”\n“Xiao Yu, you are really very formidable. I heard from Xiao Xue that the pill you guys collaborated on had very good sales.”\n“Haha! Is it really just some short change? Xiao Yu, I invited you over today because it has been a long time since I have seen you and wish to have a talk with you. Other than that, I also have an issue that I need to discuss with you.\n“Grandpa Yang, there’s no harm in saying what you are thinking.”\n“I think we should talk about it in my study room. Xiao Xue, follow me as well. The rest of you, stay here. Also, get the kitchen to cook the meal earlier. I want to have a big feast together with Xiao Yu,” Yang Tianhu stood up and told his sons and brothers."

第七十二章
“姚老师，你们老师的工资应该不高吧，尤其是你这样的实习老师，你这天天给我做这么多好吃的，可花了不少钱吧，要不以后我在这里吃饭给钱吧！” 程宇认真的说道，相处这么久，对这个老师还是有所了解的，她的房间里非常朴素，化妆品什么的就只有几种简单的护肤品，虽然他也不认同女人用这些，但是至少说明姚娜这人的生活并不是很好。
这段时间跟着杨若雪和兰雅没事就逛名品店，对这些东西也有所了解，她的房间里没有一件昂贵的物品，连女人最爱的包包都是非常普通的那种。
程宇天天在这里大吃大喝让他有些不好意思了，对方这么辛辛苦苦的给他辅导，又天天跟他做饭吃，而且长的又这么漂亮，性格这么温柔，真的是一个贤妻良母的最佳人选。
“我虽然工资不多，但是一天请你吃一次饭还是吃的起的，如果你真心想帮我，那你就认认真真的学习，高考的时候考出一个好成绩，这就是给我最好的报答了。”
“嗯，这个你放心，我跟你保证过，说了要考上云海大学那就一定会考上云海大学。”
“那就好，我也相信以你这样的惊人的学习能力，考上云海大学不是难事，但是你也不能因此而自满，学习就向是逆水行走，不进则退，现在也就一个月多的时间了，再怎么辛苦也就这么久了。” 对于程宇的学习能力姚娜还是很放心的，可是就这人太懒了，不好好鞭策他他就不肯学。
“嗯嗯，我知道了，我听的耳朵都起茧了，明天周末，我们出去玩吧。” “不去，我周末要回家。”
姚娜拒绝道。
“你家在哪？ 我跟你回去见见丈母娘呗。”
“不要乱说，谁是你丈母娘了，我不告诉你，反正离云海不远。”
“那我也可以送你啊，就不用打车这么麻烦了。”
“不用了，好了，你先去学习吧，我先收拾一下碗筷。” 姚娜说罢便收拾起桌上的碗筷。
第二天一大早，杨若雪就打来了电话，让他过去商量一下关于长生丹上市的问题。
“若雪，咱们的还颜丹和延容丹上市也快一个月了，业绩怎么样啊！” 程宇半躺在沙发上看着杨若雪说道。
“咱们目前只在云海周围几个市有销售，所以范围比较窄，这个月的试销大概在六七亿左右。” 说到产品的销售，杨若雪很是高兴的说道。
以前自己做的那些化妆品不仅需要大量的人力来进行销售，而且需要大量的科研人员进行不断的更新、改善。
可是现在程宇的这个还颜丹和延容丹却是完全不需要这些，程宇的配方是很完善的，只要做好配方保密的问题，至于销售根本不是问题。
大肆的广告宣传以后，再加上使用者的惊喜反应，现在在云海来说，还颜丹和延容丹可以说是女人最爱谈论的话题。
这么多！” 程宇也是心中一惊，一个月就六七亿了，这还是在云海周边几个市，这要是向全国上市那这利润不得了啊。
“当然了，因为咱们的还颜丹和延容丹是配套的，既然她们舍得花钱买其中一样，当然也不在乎在多买一种了，而且两种一起买还有一定的优惠。”
“那咱们的产量能不能跟上？” “目前还没有问题，不过如果向全国市场同时供应的话可能很困难。”
“那咱们扩大生产啊，提前做好占领全国市场的准备。” “嗯，这个我也在准备，正在找地皮。
不过最近有大量的加盟商想要加入成美集团，成为的代理商，拿到我们代理权，你怎么看？”
“当然不行了，这东西只能我们自己建立销售渠道，以后还有更多的产品出来，而且现在我们正是扩产的时机，不适宜大量发展市场，先满足云海周边就行了。” 自己的丹药那是独一无二的，这是奇货可居，完全的卖方市场，既然不求卖为什么还要交给别人。
“那咱们的长生丹怎么办？ 还要上市吗？” 杨若雪想了想问道。
“暂时先不上，长生丹一定要卖的贵，直接走奢侈路线，越贵越好，既能保证利润又能减轻生产的压力，而且还显得的有档次，长生这种事本身就只有有钱的人才享受的，没钱的人巴不得早点死，活的越久受的苦越多，谁还买这玩意。” “你真是一个奸商，这事也就你能干的出来，不过你这话也对，穷苦人谁会买这种东西吃。”
杨若雪笑着说道。 “若雪，你笑起来真漂亮，你应该经常这么对我笑笑，我都不用吃长生丹就能长生了。”
“谁要对你笑了，你还是让你那个胸大女朋友跟你笑吧。” 听到程宇的话，杨若雪瞬间收起来了自己的笑脸，板着脸说道。
“嘿嘿，若雪，你是不是也羡慕她的大，如果你愿意，我也可以帮你变大。” 程宇笑嘻嘻的说道。
“她的是你弄大的？” 对于兰雅那个巨大，杨若雪确实挺羡慕的。
“当然不是，那妞也不知道吃了什么，天生长这么大，其实你现在的就挺完美，那么大也不一定好。”
“哼，要你管，我爷爷找你有事商量，希望你能去一趟山庄。” 听到程宇赞自己的胸完美，杨若雪心里有一种其名的喜意，转过话题说道。
“你爷爷？ 他不会是急着把你嫁给我了吧，那我还得去准备聘礼啊！”
“懒的理你，跟我走吧。”
“小宇啊，你怕是把我这老头子忘了吧，这么久也不来看看我，要不是我让若雪去请你，怕是你连我这院头朝哪开都不记得了。” 程宇在正堂里刚一坐下，杨若雪就领着杨天虎还有几个叔叔出来了。
“哈哈，最近一直忙着学习，都没时间来看杨爷爷，真是罪过，还希望杨爷爷莫怪，不要跟小子我计较。” 程宇站起来嘿嘿笑道。
“哈哈，跟你小子开玩笑的，哪能真的跟你计较，你可是我们杨家的大恩人啊。”
“杨爷爷，你说这个就太见外了，我可是把若雪当成自己人，那我们也就是一家人了，既然是自家人哪有什么恩不恩的。” “小宇说的这话我爱听，我就喜欢你这么直爽的小伙子，不虚伪不造作，喜欢就是喜欢。”
对于程宇，杨天虎可是打心眼里喜欢，程宇是有真本事的人，而且称之为世外高人也不为过。
杨天虎他也是见过世面的人，知道程宇不是凡人，也知道这种人总是很高傲的，可是程宇身上就没有这种傲气。
“嘿嘿，杨爷爷过奖了。”
“小宇，你可真厉害啊，我听小雪说你们合作的那药效益十分好啊。”
“哈哈，赚点小钱罢了。” “哈哈，这小钱赚的好啊，今天找小宇你来呢，也是好久还没看到小宇你了，想找你聊聊天，另外呢还有一件事想跟你商量一下。”
“杨爷爷但说无妨。”
“这事还是到我书房说吧，小雪也跟我来，你们几个就待在这里，随便让厨房早点把饭菜准备好，一会我要跟小宇好好吃一顿。” 杨天虎站起来对着几个儿子说道。

Chapter 72: Gonna Get Rich!
“Teacher Yao, I think your salary isn’t that high, right? Especially teachers like you, who are still an intern. Every day, you cook me delicious food, but you most likely have spent a lot of money on it, right? How about letting me pay for the meals next time?” Cheng Yu asked seriously. After interacting with her for so long, Cheng Yu had understood his teacher’s lifestyle. Her room was very simply decorated, and her cosmetic products were only a few of those cheap skincare products. This all showed that her living conditions were not ideal and could be defined as sub-par.
After he had followed Yang Ruoxue and Lan Ya out for shopping numerous times, he gained some knowledge on women’s lifestyles. Inside Yao Na’s room, she didn’t possess anything expensive, as even her handbag was also a very ordinary one.
Every day, Cheng Yu would have his dinner at her place, and it caused him to feel very embarrassed about it. She had been painstakingly tutoring him and also cooking for him. In addition to her beauty and her gentleness, she was really the perfect candidate to be a loving mother and wife.
“My salary isn’t that high, but if it were to you a meal every single day, I can still afford it. If you really wish to help me, then you should really take studying seriously. During the national exam, I hope you get good grades. This would be the best payment you can give me.”
“En. Rest assured. I promised you before that I will definitely get into Yunhai University.”
“That will be the best. I also believe that with your intelligence and your ability to learn, getting into Yunhai University won’t be a hard issue. But you mustn’t be complacent because of this. Studying is like walking against the current, you mustn’t retreat at all cost. You are left with a month more to the national exam. No matter how hard working you must be, it is also during this period of time before everything comes to head,” With regards to Cheng Yu’s learning ability, Yao Na wasn’t worried at all. It was that he was too lazy, and without any encouragement given to him, he will never do his best.
“En, en. I know. I have already heard you countless times. Tomorrow is the weekend. Let’s go out and have some fun.”
“Not going. During the weekends, I need to go back home,” Yao Na rejected.
“Where’s your home? Let me follow you back to visit my mother-in-law.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Who’s your mother-in-law? I am not telling you. In any case, it’s not that far from Yunhai.”
“I can at least send you there, so you don’t have to take the trouble of getting a car.”
“It’s fine. Alright, you go and study first. I will tidy up the dining area,” Yao Na started to clean up the plates on the dining table.
The next day, Yang Ruoxue gave Cheng Yu a call and asked him to come over to her place to discuss the issue of how they should sell the Longevity Pill in the market.
“Ruoxue, the Rejuvenation Pill and Eternal Youth Pill have already been on the market for a month, how are the sales so far?” Cheng Yu laid down on the sofa as he asked Yang Ruoxue.

"value": "Chapter 65\nGong Ruqing, who had only been calling out a second ago, was once again hacked into two halves by a flick of Lu Sheng’s saber. Both halves of her body split from each other, falling to each side.\n“Young Master Li… Young Master Li!!! Qingqing’s in pain…”\nLi Shunxi’s face turned green as he hurried to keep up with Lu Sheng. Duan Meng’an and Ning San too broke out in cold sweat as they followed along.\nLu Sheng barely strode out of the kitchen when he felt a powerful gust of air blowing in his face.\n“Another Soul of the Dead!?” Li Shunxi was shocked to see the black figure. What on earth was this Manor for two Souls of the Dead to appear within it, one after another? Before this, he had seen such supernatural beings only in books!\nThese supernatural beings were indestructible, built with skin of bronze and bones of iron. Fire was their only Achilles’ heel. They were basically the hardest to deal with among ghosts. And to think that they would run into one after another right here!\nAs Li Shunxi was frozen in his steps with astonishment, Lu Sheng had already locked himself in combat with the second Soul of the Dead.\nAfter a series of intense collisions, both black figures smashed through the kitchen wall on the right and fell through it.\nDuan Meng’an supported Li Shunxi, dashing out of the kitchen with Ning San. Behind them, a whole gang of ghosts–Young Misses and guards–were hot on their heels.\nThese ghosts were extremely fast. One of them clawed Duan Meng’an fiercely in his back, penetrating his hard body skill in an instant and leaving five streaks of bloody wounds.\n“AH!”\nDuan Meng’an screamed hoarsely, his steps increasing in speed.\nLi Shunxi and Ning San had no ability to stop and care for him; they too doubled their pace as they sped towards the Manor’s exit.\n“BOOM!!!”\nIn the middle of the backyard, Lu Sheng slammed his right palm, crimson like blood, into the chest of the Soul of the Dead. At the same time, the Soul of the Dead’s foot landed heavily on his abdomen. A flash of blood surged up Lu Sheng’s face. Clearly, he received internal injuries.\nA jet of ink-black blood sprayed all over him.\n“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!” The Soul of the Dead struggled in a fit, landing punches and kicks on Lu Sheng’s body till Lu Sheng’s face turned an unnatural red.\nLu Sheng had already activated Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill, supplemented by Yin Yang Attraction, rapidly healing the injuries within him.\nGiven the dire situation, he had no choice but to resort to exchanging blow for blow in a bid to dispatch the Soul of the Dead in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, as time dragged on, who knew what fishy business this Manor would sneak up on them again.\nAlthough the Soul of the Dead’s incessant blows caused rather significant injuries to Lu Sheng, they weren’t irreversible. Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill’s special effect was homeostasis, after all. The moment a blood vessel burst, blood loss was immediately stemmed by his inner force. A few days were all it took for it to heal afterwards; thus, the multiple wounds on Lu Sheng were no worse than a few cuts on the finger to him.\nHad it not been for his worry that it would consume too much of his inner force and leave him dry, Lu Sheng would long have had used his Tiger Roar & Crane Song Saber. One strike of that technique would have sent this Soul of the Dead to oblivion.\n“Boss! Let’s go!!!” In the distance, Duan Meng’an turned and yelled. They had exploited the opportunity to make a run for the distance and were presently going around the house for the courtyard in front of them.\nLu Sheng sent the Soul of the Dead flying with one palm strike. Without waiting for it to dissolve, he stomped hard on the ground, borrowing the force of the impact to launch himself forwards into the air.\nWith a few big strides, he caught up with the three of them and they all made a run for the Manor exit.\n“Why must we go through the main exit? Can’t we just climb over the walls?” Ning San asked.\n“No, we can’t! This is a Ghost Formation. Going across the wall will land us back in the kitchen cellar. That’s where the core of the formation is! Quick! Destroy that tree!” Entering the courtyard, Li Shunxi pointed to the withered tree right in its middle, beside the stone bridge, and yelled.\nWith all his might, Duan Meng’an smashed himself into the black withered tree, which was as thick as a forearm, breaking its trunk in the middle. The top half of the tree bent over backwards, collapsing onto the ground.\nDuan Meng’an himself was knocked out of his bearings by the impact. Ning San carried him and the gang rushed towards the Manor’s exit.\nWith a backhand slash, Lu Sheng smacked a ghost guard in pursuit into the ground.\n“AHHH!!!” Without warning, an ear-piercing scream rang out back in the courtyard.\nThe little girl, Song Yunjuan, was racing towards the exit with a ghost with disheveled hair right behind her.\n“It’s the little girl from the Manor!” Li Shunxi paused in his steps with a face full of hesitation. He glanced at the ghost behind her. Compared to the distance between them and the little girl, the ghost was still far off. There was perfectly adequate room for them to save her before continuing their escape.\n“You guys go ahead first!” He said, unable to bear leaving her in the lurch.\nDuan Meng’an and Ning San glared at him.\n“Boss is even further ahead of us. If they catch you, nobody’s gonna come back for you!”\n“Cut the crap! Just go while the formation is down!” Li Shunxi set his mind on his decision. He simply did not have it in him to leave such a young little girl to die in this dangerous Manor.\nDuan Meng’an and Ning San glanced at the little girl and began to hesitate too.\n“Help! Brother! Big Brother!!!” As Song Yunjuan ran, she suddenly tripped over a piece of sharp stone and momentarily fell on the ground. The female ghost behind her pounced towards her.\n“AHH!!!”\nShe shut her eyes tight and screamed at the top of her lungs.\n“BAM!”\nThe deep sound of impact echoed across the courtyard. Lu Sheng rushed up from behind them and clutched onto the female ghost’s head. His palm glowed crimson as he released scorching heat into it, causing it to sizzle with white smoke.\nWith a flip of his hand, he sent it smashing into the distance behind him violently.\nRescued from danger, Song Yunjuan looked at Lu Sheng with eyes full of gratitude. “Thank you, Big…”\nA gleam from Lu Sheng’s saber flashed across the air, slicing Song Yunjuan into two halves from the waist. Her pretty eyes were opened wide, as if she had hardly even had time to comprehend what had happened. Blood spilled across the ground.\n“Boss… !!!” Duan Meng’an and Ning San stared in dumb shock.\nLi Shunxi was dumbfounded too. He had not expected this outcome in the slightest.\nWithout paying attention to them in the slightest, Lu Sheng strode to the Manor door and hacked it into pieces with one saber strike.\n“Ka-cha!!!”\nThe wooden door was smashed to pieces. Lu Sheng was the first to dash out. Only then did the trio including Li Shunxi behind him come to their senses and hurried out after him.\nOnce out of the manor, however, the three of them looked dazedly at the scene before them.\nA densely packed company of men and horses, numbering in the hundreds, surrounded them outside the Manor.\nLu Sheng sprinted to the front of the company, grabbing over an already lit torch in his hand.\n“RAZE IT!” He bellowed.\nDozens of fire arrows flew in an arc and landed in the Manor like meteors, setting the entire Manor on flames in the blink of an eye.\nThe red flames rapidly grew stronger and more intense till they became a blaze.\nLu Sheng climbed on a horse, staring coldly at the blazing Manor, his face impassive and his body unmoving.\nThe flames raged on as everybody watched on.\n“Young Master, the firewood on all four sides was lit ablaze,” a small leader licked his lips as he reported.\n“Continue shooting the fire arrows!” Lu Sheng ordered coldly.\n“Yes sir!”\nSwiftly, the sect disciples pulled their bows again and lit the oil sachets on their arrowheads.\n“Swish swish swish swish!!”\nAnother volley of fire arrows flew out and landed viciously into the Manor.\n“ROAR!!!”\nAbruptly, a petite figure emerged out of the blazing flames in the Manor’s exit. It was the little girl Song Yunjuan!\nFlames raged all over her body as she roared savagely at the company of sect disciples outside.\nThe roar did not sound human at all. It sounded more like the roar of some wild beast!\nIn the fire, the little girl suddenly charged towards the exit–only to slam into what seemed like an invisible wall, unable to come out.\nShe shrieked and screamed at the company of men, her small face gradually melting like wax. Yet even then, her eyes and mouth remained three black gaping holes, roaring on.\nA straight saber spinning at high speed smashed squarely into the little girl’s face, ramming her back into the flames in the Manor.\nLu Sheng put down his arm and yelled, “Keep shooting! Down to the very last arrow!”\nNear frightened to death by the earlier sight, the company of men had almost failed to maintain their formation. But Lu Sheng’s yell jolted them out of their shock. They tightened the grip on their bows and fired off several more volleys of arrows into the Manor after some hesitation.\nSeveral more volleys of arrows later, the Manor was finally entirely consumed by flames.\n“KA-CHA!” Without warning, a charred figure dashed out of the Manor gates, falling to the ground and rolling over. The flames on his body were soon extinguished, but roars kept being emitting from his mouth.\nThe sect disciples jumped in fright. Some among them pulled their bows, ready to fire a few arrows into this man.\n“Hold!” Lu Sheng lifted his arm, stopping them.\nHe stepped forward quickly and took a look. Faintly, he was able to recognize that the man on the ground was the scholar he had caught sight of when he had passed by the Manor back then.\nSeeing Lu Sheng approach, the scholar lay prone on the ground. Trembling, he scribbled a few words on the ground: I am human.\n“Bring him away for treatment. He’s a man, not a ghost,” Lu Sheng instructed.\nThe orders had been given, but none among them dared to near him.\nOnly after a long while did a few bold sect disciples come forward and lift the scholar up for a close scrutiny.\n“Heavens! This man has had his tongue cut off! No wonder he can’t speak,” an old disciple swallowed and exclaimed.\nLu Sheng recognized him as the scholar he had seen previously only because of his outfit.\nThe key to why he was able to distinguish between ghosts and living people was mainly because of his extremely acute five senses. Each of the three inner force skills under Lu Sheng’s mastery required several decades of diligent cultivation by ordinary cultivators. Combined together, they gave him an inner force of such density and depth it was equivalent to over a hundred years of hard work by an ordinary cultivator.\nSuch inner force cultivation had amplified his five senses to a terrifying extent. Within ten meters, he could even hear the heartbeat and breathing of others clearly.\nThis was also the key to how he was able to discover that Gong Ruqing and the rest were ghosts.\nIn addition to this discovery, the footprints left before the main door comprised only the three of theirs and Li Shunxi’s. Of the rest, not a single one could be found.\nAlthough it was in the darkness of night, Lu Sheng noticed this detail with his powerful vision.\nThe facts combined gave birth to a speculation in his mind. Thereafter, he observed them closely and picked up a particular faint scent on Gong Ruqing that was exactly the same as that found on the little girl Song Yunjuan.\nHe knew then that his guess was not far from the truth."

第六十五章
刚才还站在门口，哀声叫唤的龚如清，再度被路胜随手一刀砍成两截，身子分离，摔倒在一边。
“李公子....李公子！ ！
李顺溪脸都要绿了，赶紧跟上路胜，段蒙安和宁三两人都是浑身冷汗，同样跟上。
路胜大踏步走出厨房，刚走出房门，便感到有劲风扑面而来。
李顺溪看清那黑影时，也是大吃一惊，这庄子到底是什么地方，居然有两头尸魄接连出现，要知道这种鬼物，在以前他只在典籍中见到过一次。
这种鬼物刀枪不入，铜皮铁骨，唯独怕火，简直是鬼物中最难缠的一类，没想到在这里居然接连撞上。
他还在犹豫惊诧之时，门前的路胜和尸魄已经交上手来。
两道黑影剧烈碰撞数次后，轰然撞碎右侧厨房墙壁，跌了出去。
段蒙安扶着李顺溪，和宁三一起跑出厨房，身后还跟着一大群之前的小姐护卫等鬼物。
这些鬼物动作奇快，一人狠狠一爪抓在段蒙安后背上，顿时破了他的硬功，抓出五道血淋淋的伤痕。
啊！
段蒙安惨叫一声，跑得更快了。
李顺溪和宁三也顾不得其他，加快脚步朝着庄子大门跑去。
！
后院中央，路胜右掌赤红如血，狠狠一掌打在尸魄胸口，同时他的小腹也被尸魄狠狠一脚踹中，脸上血色一闪而过，显然受了内伤。
黑色的血喷了他一身。
！ 尸魄挣扎着，拳脚不断打在路胜身上，打得他连连脸上闪过不正常红晕。
黑虎玉鹤功路胜已经运转起来了，配合阴阳引，急速的愈合他体内的伤势。
眼下情况危急，他也不得不以伤换伤，迅速解决尸魄，否则被拖住，保不准这庄子又会弄出什么猫腻。
虽然尸魄不断打在他身上，造成不小伤势，但对路胜来说不算什么。 黑虎玉鹤功的特效就是止血，对于内伤，刚刚崩裂血管，便马上被内功收缩止住，之后只要修养数日就能愈合，和手指上破个皮没什么两样。
要不是担心消耗太大，后继乏力，路胜早就动用虎啸鹤唳刀，一刀就能干掉这尸魄。
远处段蒙安回头大叫一声。 他们已经趁机跑到较远处了。 正在绕过庄子房屋，朝前面庭院跑去。
路胜一掌打飞尸魄，不等他融化消失，便一脚狠狠踩在地面上，借力嘭的一声拔地而起，朝着前面追赶。
三步两步追上三人，一行人直接朝庄子大门跑去。
“为何一定要走大门？ 直接翻墙不行么？”
“不行！ 这是鬼阵，翻墙又会回到厨房地窖，那里是鬼阵核心！
快毁树！” 李顺溪到了庭院，便指着正中间石桥边的那颗枯树大叫。
段蒙安自己也被反震得晕头转向。 被宁三扶着一起朝山庄大门冲去。
路胜反手一刀，将一个追上来的鬼护卫砍翻在地。
！” 忽然一声尖叫从院子里传出来。
那个小女孩宋云娟，正被一个披头散发的鬼物追赶着，朝着大门处跑来。
“是那个庄子里的小姑娘！” 李顺溪脚步一顿，脸上露出不忍之色，他看了眼后面的鬼物，距离还远，比起那小姑娘和他们的距离，完全足够他们救下人再走。
“你们先走！” 他忍不住沉声道。
段蒙安和宁三瞪了他一眼。
“老大比我们速度快，你要是被追上了可没人管！” “别废话了，快走！
趁现在阵法失效。” 李顺溪下定决心，他不忍心看着一个这么年幼的小姑娘死在这危险山庄里。
段蒙安和宁三看了看那小女孩，也有些犹豫起来。
！” 宋云娟正跑着，忽然被地上一块尖石拌了一下，顿时跌倒在地，身后的那女鬼猛地扑上去。 “啊！
！”
她忍不住闭目尖叫起来。
嘭！
！ 一身沉闷撞击声中，路胜从后面赶了上来，一把抓住女鬼脑袋，赤红灼热的掌力顿时将其头部烧得丝丝作响，冒出白烟。
他随手将其往后狠狠一抛，顿时将这鬼物砸到身后远处。
宋云娟脱离险境，这才抬头看向路胜，眼中满是感激。
刀光一闪，宋云娟当场被拦腰砍成两截，俏丽的双眼睁得大大的，似乎还没弄清楚怎么回事，血撒了一地。 “老大....！
段蒙安和宁三看得一脸懵逼。
李顺溪也目瞪口呆，完全没想到会是这个结果。
路胜毫不理会他们，几步冲到庄子门前，一刀砍开大门。
！
木门破碎，路胜一马当先冲出去，身后李顺溪三人这才反应过来，也赶紧跟着跑出去。
刚一出去，三人却是一脸愕然呆滞。
只见山庄外，围着密密麻麻一片人马，足有上百之数。
路胜飞奔到众人身前，抓过一根火把。
！
数十根火箭飞射落入庄子，如同数十点火星，顷刻间便将整个庄子点燃燃烧起来。
红色火光从小到大，很快便越来越烈，越来越红。
路胜翻身上马，冷眼盯着逐渐燃烧起来的山庄，面色不变，一动不动。
大火在众人眼中逐渐旺盛。
“公子，四面的柴火都点燃了。” 一个小头目舔着嘴唇上前禀报。
“继续放火箭！” 路胜冷声道。
“是！”
众帮众迅速弯弓搭箭，点燃箭头上的油包。
！
又是一轮火箭飞射出去，狠狠落进山庄。
！ ！
猛然间，山庄大门处，大火中，一道娇小身影猛然现身，赫然是那个小女孩宋云娟。
她浑身着火燃烧着，朝着外面的众人发出凶狠恶毒的狂吼。
那吼声不似人类，更像是某种莫名的猛兽。
大火中，小女孩忽然朝着山庄外冲出来，嘭的一下似乎撞在了无形墙壁上，无法出来。
她朝着众人尖叫着，小脸逐渐融化如同蜡烛，双眼和嘴巴融出三个黑色大洞，依旧狂吼不止。
一把高速旋转的直刀狠狠砸中小女孩的脸，将其一下砸回山庄大火中。
路胜放下手，厉声大吼。 “继续放箭！
众帮众被吓得要死，差点阵型都散了，此时闻言被路胜大吼狠狠震了震，这才握紧手里的弓箭，迟疑了下，又继续朝山庄一轮轮狂射。
又往里射了几轮箭矢后，山庄大火终于彻底笼罩全部房屋。
咔嚓一声，忽然一道浑身焦黑的人影冲出山庄大门，在地上翻滚了几圈，这人身上火焰很快熄灭，口中还不断发出嘶嘶的吼叫声。
一众帮众都被吓了一跳，有人弯弓又朝着此人准备来上几箭。
路胜扬起手，止住帮众动作。
他快步上前一看，地上这人，居然依稀能认出，就是之前他路过庄子看到过的那个书生。 这书生被烧得满身血泡，脸上一片烫伤，却依旧能看得出他在笑，而且是大笑。
看到路胜走近，书生趴在地上，用手颤颤巍巍在地面写了几个字：我是人。
“带他下去治伤，这是人，不是鬼。” 路胜沉声吩咐。
命令是下了，可周围人都不敢上去。
等了好一会儿，才有几个胆大的帮众上前，将书生扶起来，仔细检查一番。
“乖乖，这人舌头被割了的，难怪说不出话。” 一个老帮众吞了吞口水，咋舌道。
路胜也是看出他的衣服装扮，才认出这人是之前他看到过的书生。
他能够简单的分辨鬼物和活人，主要便是依靠极其敏锐的五感。 路胜一身的三大内功，每一门都需要常人至少数十年的苦修才能达到，三门加在一起，他便相当于一般人百年以上苦修才有可能达到的雄浑程度。
这样的内力修为，让他在五感上得到的增幅极其可怖，十米之内，甚至连呼吸心跳都能听到清清楚楚。
这也是他在庄子里发现龚如清等人是鬼的关键。
发现这个事实后，他再结合大门前留下的脚印，其中只有他们三人和那个李顺溪的脚印，其余人居然一个也没有。
虽然处于黑夜，一片漆黑，但依旧阻挡不了路胜强大的目力留意到这细节。
前后结合一下，他便有了猜测，之后再一一仔细观察，还有闻到龚如清等人身上的气味，极其稀薄的淡淡气味，和那小女孩宋云娟身上一模一样。
结果自然便八九不离十了。

Chapter 65
Gong Ruqing, who had only been calling out a second ago, was once again hacked into two halves by a flick of Lu Sheng’s saber. Both halves of her body split from each other, falling to each side.
“Young Master Li… Young Master Li!!! Qingqing’s in pain…”
Li Shunxi’s face turned green as he hurried to keep up with Lu Sheng. Duan Meng’an and Ning San too broke out in cold sweat as they followed along.
Lu Sheng barely strode out of the kitchen when he felt a powerful gust of air blowing in his face.
“Another Soul of the Dead!?” Li Shunxi was shocked to see the black figure. What on earth was this Manor for two Souls of the Dead to appear within it, one after another? Before this, he had seen such supernatural beings only in books!
These supernatural beings were indestructible, built with skin of bronze and bones of iron. Fire was their only Achilles’ heel. They were basically the hardest to deal with among ghosts. And to think that they would run into one after another right here!
As Li Shunxi was frozen in his steps with astonishment, Lu Sheng had already locked himself in combat with the second Soul of the Dead.
After a series of intense collisions, both black figures smashed through the kitchen wall on the right and fell through it.
Duan Meng’an supported Li Shunxi, dashing out of the kitchen with Ning San. Behind them, a whole gang of ghosts–Young Misses and guards–were hot on their heels.
These ghosts were extremely fast. One of them clawed Duan Meng’an fiercely in his back, penetrating his hard body skill in an instant and leaving five streaks of bloody wounds.
“AH!”
Duan Meng’an screamed hoarsely, his steps increasing in speed.
Li Shunxi and Ning San had no ability to stop and care for him; they too doubled their pace as they sped towards the Manor’s exit.
“BOOM!!!”
In the middle of the backyard, Lu Sheng slammed his right palm, crimson like blood, into the chest of the Soul of the Dead. At the same time, the Soul of the Dead’s foot landed heavily on his abdomen. A flash of blood surged up Lu Sheng’s face. Clearly, he received internal injuries.
A jet of ink-black blood sprayed all over him.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!” The Soul of the Dead struggled in a fit, landing punches and kicks on Lu Sheng’s body till Lu Sheng’s face turned an unnatural red.
Lu Sheng had already activated Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill, supplemented by Yin Yang Attraction, rapidly healing the injuries within him.
Given the dire situation, he had no choice but to resort to exchanging blow for blow in a bid to dispatch the Soul of the Dead in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, as time dragged on, who knew what fishy business this Manor would sneak up on them again.
Although the Soul of the Dead’s incessant blows caused rather significant injuries to Lu Sheng, they weren’t irreversible. Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill’s special effect was homeostasis, after all. The moment a blood vessel burst, blood loss was immediately stemmed by his inner force. A few days were all it took for it to heal afterwards; thus, the multiple wounds on Lu Sheng were no worse than a few cuts on the finger to him.
Had it not been for his worry that it would consume too much of his inner force and leave him dry, Lu Sheng would long have had used his Tiger Roar & Crane Song Saber. One strike of that technique would have sent this Soul of the Dead to oblivion.
“Boss! Let’s go!!!” In the distance, Duan Meng’an turned and yelled. They had exploited the opportunity to make a run for the distance and were presently going around the house for the courtyard in front of them.
Lu Sheng sent the Soul of the Dead flying with one palm strike. Without waiting for it to dissolve, he stomped hard on the ground, borrowing the force of the impact to launch himself forwards into the air.
With a few big strides, he caught up with the three of them and they all made a run for the Manor exit.
“Why must we go through the main exit? Can’t we just climb over the walls?” Ning San asked.
“No, we can’t! This is a Ghost Formation. Going across the wall will land us back in the kitchen cellar. That’s where the core of the formation is! Quick! Destroy that tree!” Entering the courtyard, Li Shunxi pointed to the withered tree right in its middle, beside the stone bridge, and yelled.
With all his might, Duan Meng’an smashed himself into the black withered tree, which was as thick as a forearm, breaking its trunk in the middle. The top half of the tree bent over backwards, collapsing onto the ground.
Duan Meng’an himself was knocked out of his bearings by the impact. Ning San carried him and the gang rushed towards the Manor’s exit.
With a backhand slash, Lu Sheng smacked a ghost guard in pursuit into the ground.
“AHHH!!!” Without warning, an ear-piercing scream rang out back in the courtyard.
The little girl, Song Yunjuan, was racing towards the exit with a ghost with disheveled hair right behind her.
“It’s the little girl from the Manor!” Li Shunxi paused in his steps with a face full of hesitation. He glanced at the ghost behind her. Compared to the distance between them and the little girl, the ghost was still far off. There was perfectly adequate room for them to save her before continuing their escape.
“You guys go ahead first!” He said, unable to bear leaving her in the lurch.
Duan Meng’an and Ning San glared at him.
“Boss is even further ahead of us. If they catch you, nobody’s gonna come back for you!”
“Cut the crap! Just go while the formation is down!” Li Shunxi set his mind on his decision. He simply did not have it in him to leave such a young little girl to die in this dangerous Manor.
Duan Meng’an and Ning San glanced at the little girl and began to hesitate too.
“Help! Brother! Big Brother!!!” As Song Yunjuan ran, she suddenly tripped over a piece of sharp stone and momentarily fell on the ground. The female ghost behind her pounced towards her.
“AHH!!!”
She shut her eyes tight and screamed at the top of her lungs.
“BAM!”
The deep sound of impact echoed across the courtyard. Lu Sheng rushed up from behind them and clutched onto the female ghost’s head. His palm glowed crimson as he released scorching heat into it, causing it to sizzle with white smoke.
With a flip of his hand, he sent it smashing into the distance behind him violently.
Rescued from danger, Song Yunjuan looked at Lu Sheng with eyes full of gratitude. “Thank you, Big…”
A gleam from Lu Sheng’s saber flashed across the air, slicing Song Yunjuan into two halves from the waist. Her pretty eyes were opened wide, as if she had hardly even had time to comprehend what had happened. Blood spilled across the ground.
“Boss… !!!” Duan Meng’an and Ning San stared in dumb shock.
Li Shunxi was dumbfounded too. He had not expected this outcome in the slightest.
Without paying attention to them in the slightest, Lu Sheng strode to the Manor door and hacked it into pieces with one saber strike.
“Ka-cha!!!”
The wooden door was smashed to pieces. Lu Sheng was the first to dash out. Only then did the trio including Li Shunxi behind him come to their senses and hurried out after him.
Once out of the manor, however, the three of them looked dazedly at the scene before them.
A densely packed company of men and horses, numbering in the hundreds, surrounded them outside the Manor.
Lu Sheng sprinted to the front of the company, grabbing over an already lit torch in his hand.
“RAZE IT!” He bellowed.
Dozens of fire arrows flew in an arc and landed in the Manor like meteors, setting the entire Manor on flames in the blink of an eye.
The red flames rapidly grew stronger and more intense till they became a blaze.
Lu Sheng climbed on a horse, staring coldly at the blazing Manor, his face impassive and his body unmoving.
The flames raged on as everybody watched on.
“Young Master, the firewood on all four sides was lit ablaze,” a small leader licked his lips as he reported.
“Continue shooting the fire arrows!” Lu Sheng ordered coldly.
“Yes sir!”
Swiftly, the sect disciples pulled their bows again and lit the oil sachets on their arrowheads.
“Swish swish swish swish!!”
Another volley of fire arrows flew out and landed viciously into the Manor.
“ROAR!!!”
Abruptly, a petite figure emerged out of the blazing flames in the Manor’s exit. It was the little girl Song Yunjuan!
Flames raged all over her body as she roared savagely at the company of sect disciples outside.
The roar did not sound human at all. It sounded more like the roar of some wild beast!
In the fire, the little girl suddenly charged towards the exit–only to slam into what seemed like an invisible wall, unable to come out.
She shrieked and screamed at the company of men, her small face gradually melting like wax. Yet even then, her eyes and mouth remained three black gaping holes, roaring on.
A straight saber spinning at high speed smashed squarely into the little girl’s face, ramming her back into the flames in the Manor.
Lu Sheng put down his arm and yelled, “Keep shooting! Down to the very last arrow!”
Near frightened to death by the earlier sight, the company of men had almost failed to maintain their formation. But Lu Sheng’s yell jolted them out of their shock. They tightened the grip on their bows and fired off several more volleys of arrows into the Manor after some hesitation.
Several more volleys of arrows later, the Manor was finally entirely consumed by flames.
“KA-CHA!” Without warning, a charred figure dashed out of the Manor gates, falling to the ground and rolling over. The flames on his body were soon extinguished, but roars kept being emitting from his mouth.
The sect disciples jumped in fright. Some among them pulled their bows, ready to fire a few arrows into this man.
“Hold!” Lu Sheng lifted his arm, stopping them.
He stepped forward quickly and took a look. Faintly, he was able to recognize that the man on the ground was the scholar he had caught sight of when he had passed by the Manor back then.
Seeing Lu Sheng approach, the scholar lay prone on the ground. Trembling, he scribbled a few words on the ground: I am human.
“Bring him away for treatment. He’s a man, not a ghost,” Lu Sheng instructed.
The orders had been given, but none among them dared to near him.
Only after a long while did a few bold sect disciples come forward and lift the scholar up for a close scrutiny.
“Heavens! This man has had his tongue cut off! No wonder he can’t speak,” an old disciple swallowed and exclaimed.
Lu Sheng recognized him as the scholar he had seen previously only because of his outfit.
The key to why he was able to distinguish between ghosts and living people was mainly because of his extremely acute five senses. Each of the three inner force skills under Lu Sheng’s mastery required several decades of diligent cultivation by ordinary cultivators. Combined together, they gave him an inner force of such density and depth it was equivalent to over a hundred years of hard work by an ordinary cultivator.
Such inner force cultivation had amplified his five senses to a terrifying extent. Within ten meters, he could even hear the heartbeat and breathing of others clearly.
This was also the key to how he was able to discover that Gong Ruqing and the rest were ghosts.
In addition to this discovery, the footprints left before the main door comprised only the three of theirs and Li Shunxi’s. Of the rest, not a single one could be found.
Although it was in the darkness of night, Lu Sheng noticed this detail with his powerful vision.
The facts combined gave birth to a speculation in his mind. Thereafter, he observed them closely and picked up a particular faint scent on Gong Ruqing that was exactly the same as that found on the little girl Song Yunjuan.
He knew then that his guess was not far from the truth.

"value": "Chapter 559: The Wing Demon Buster\nTranslator: WQL Editor: Aleem Seeing the black spots drawing closer to him in a manner which was completely different than that of gliders, Zhang Tie knew that they were wing demons.\nIf it was another driver of the glider, at the sight of those wing demons, he would instantly turn around and escape. However, Zhang Tie was different. He didn't escape; instead, he sped up towards those black spots.\nIn a few minutes, Zhang Tie had seen clearly those wing demons.\nThey were three humanoid bats, who were similar to the legendary vampires. However, being different from vampire whose look had been beautified, besides having a pair of huge wings, wing demons looked lean all over. They had long limbs and a bat's head. With a green face and grim fangs, they looked pretty terrifying.\nAs it was Zhang Tie's first time to fight this kind of living beings, he was not sure that he could kill them. In order to ensure that he could give a severe blow to them, Zhang Tie played a trick. After flying for a while, Zhang Tie felt an ascending thermal current. Therefore, he cut into the ascending thermal current and kept ascending rapidly with the strength of the thermal current.\nThe three wing demons thought that Zhang Tie was going to escape; therefore, they followed after Zhang Tie.\nWing demons could fly very fast. A LV 9 wing demon could reach 7,000 to 8,000 m in the sky while their speed could reach more than 200 km/h. Average airships and gliders could hardly escape from wing demons.\nAfter ascending by about 1,000 m, the three wing demons separated. It seemed that they wanted to outflank Zhang Tie. The distance between them and Zhang Tie was also gradually narrowed.\nZhang Tie sneered. With one hand on the driving handle, he took out of a palm bolt from the cockpit of the glider by another hand.\nBefore the Catastrophe, after human beings invented the airplane, the first air battle between humans was a duel between pilots using pistols. This time, Zhang Tie felt returning to the first air battle before the Catastrophe. However, he was not using a pistol but a palm bolt. His opponent was not human, but wing demons.\n\"Gua...\" with a jarring shrill, two wing demons charged at him from two sides in front his glider. In a split second, their distance had been narrowed from hundreds of meters to just 100 m.\nIn 0.1 second, Zhang Tie released two palm bolts, splitting the grim heads of the two wing demons into pieces at once. When two blood mists spurted in the sky, the sonic booms caused by the two palm bolts sounded.\nClosely after that, the two wing demons fell down from over 4,000 m in the sky.\nZhang Tie rapidly penetrated through the two blood mists. While inclining his glider to one side, Zhang Tie caught sight of the last wing demon who caught up with him from the rear side. With another palm bolt, Zhang Tie boomed that wing demon's head from over 200 m away. After its huge wings flapped twice weakly, it fell down from the sky like a broken bag.\nZhang Tie let out a deep sigh. Wing demons were not that difficult to deal with. In the beginning, he was still worried about that if wing demons had the powerful body and pervert defensive power like that of iron-armored demons, plus their rapid moving speed, he could hardly give them a fatal blow with his palm bolt in the environment of sharp airflow and heavy wind. Therefore, he chose to ascend. In such a height, even if the wing demons were wounded and fell down, they would also lose their lives.\nAfter realizing the real fighting strength of wing demons, Zhang Tie became reassured. These LV 9 wing demons were not good at defense. Within 200 m, these LV 9 wing demons were irresistible to his palm bolt.\nThus, Zhang Tie became thrilled. At this moment, the glider was still in the ascending thermal current. Zhang Tie kept ascending in the thermal current.\nZhang Tie found it very simple to drive a glider. Actually, it was just a game in and out an ascending airflow. The ascending airflow was like an elevator. Sitting in the elevator, the glider would reach a new height. Additionally, the higher it was, the cooler it would be, the faster the thermal current would ascend. Therefore, the higher the glider was, the faster it would ascend in the thermal current.\nAfter reaching a certain height, the glider could come out of the elevator of the ascending thermal current from the top of the bubble. When in descending, he could gain a momentum. Zhang Tie felt that each 1 km he descended, the glider could fly 50-100 m forward.\nWhen he descended to a certain height and encountered another ascending thermal current, he could take an elevator once again; after gaining another momentum, he could fly freely for another while in the sky. Of course, the actual flight required very agile manipulations of ascending thermal currents and various airflow. When you descended, you had to find an ascending thermal current and came out of the thermal current after reaching a height. Everything was determined by your flight intention and your driving skill.\nTheoretically, a glider could keep flying 100 years in this way. Of course, even if a glider could fly so long in the air, nobody could stand it.\nHonestly, it was just a game of height and speed in and out ascending thermal current.\nZhang Tie liked this feeling of freedom brought by speed and height. When flying in the sky, he felt cooler than running on the land and swimming in the ocean.\nDriving the glider, Zhang Tie felt like becoming a happy and free eagle. Sometimes, he turned into a light stick of feather. Putting everything under his feet, he penetrated through the clouds and floated in the wind without any weight. Treating the horizon as his direction, the land as his cradle, Zhang Tie was deeply fascinated by that feel.\nThe data on the altimeter of the cockpit of the glider refreshed rapidly. After reaching over 6,000 m which was the top of the ascending thermal current, Zhang Tie flew out of the thermal current.\nAt this moment, the north wind started in the sky. Zhang Tie turned his glider in an agile way to make it vertical to the direction of the north wind. He didn't continue to fly towards the demon's area in the north; instead, he flew eastward.\nThe place where he met wing demons was over 200 km away from the Crystal Battle Fortress. It was already in the middle of the Selnes Theater of Operations. Now that he could meet wing demons here, he would probably meet more wing demons on both east and west of this route. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't continue to fly northward; instead, he prepared to patrol along this route and killed some more wing demons.\nA LV 9 guy who dared to enter the area which was under the control of demon corps on the first day was too careless. For the sake of his life, Zhang Tie found it necessary to try the fighting strength of his enemy.\nOnly after 10 minutes, Zhang Tie had seen another two wing demons. They were flying 2,000 m below him. They were monitoring the woods below them as they could not imagine that Zhang Tie was above them.\nAt the sight of the two wing demons, Zhang Tie instantly pushed forward the driving handle, causing the glider to lower its head and dive towards the two wing demons like how an eagle charged towards its prey. On the halfway, Zhang Tie felt a descending airflow, which would always be avoided by other drivers; however, Zhang Tie didn't care about it at all. He directly cut into the descending airflow and accelerated towards the two wing demons.\nIt was just like taking an elevator for Zhang Tie.\nBecause Zhang Tie was diving towards them, with the advantage in height, Zhang Tie had a sharper momentum. Zhang Tie almost had already launched his palm bolts when the two wing demons turned around.\nAbout 500 m away, when the two sonic booms sounded, the two wing demons' heads spurted into blood mists at the same time as they fell down...\n... A human hunting team was hiding in the crowns of those top trees. When they saw the two wing demons were shot down by a human glider, they could not believe in their eyes.\nAfter a short while, the wing demons' corpses fell in the woods. The hunting team soon rushed towards there. Watching their bloody heads, a tough man with a thick mustache and camouflage face drew in a cold breath.\n\"They were indeed shot down by that glider. That's amazing! How did he do that?\"\n\"Yeah, we've not heard about such a No.1 figure in our theater of operations.\" another guy replied with an amazed look, \"How could a member of the airship troop kill a wing demon as easily as hunting a prey?\"\n\"Leave out of here right now. Take the two corpses.\" Reinhardt drilled out of the 1.8 m high brushwood as he lifted a bloody head of a wing demon, \"Perhaps some countries or clans have already found out the method to deal with wing demons. That's a very important intelligence. We need to report this intelligence to the headquarters of the empire and the allied forces...\""

第八章
在看到那几个黑点而且黑点以绝不同于滑翔机的姿态在朝自己接近之后，张铁知道，他要等的翼魔终于来了。
要是别的滑翔机的驾驶员看到那几个翼魔，此刻所做的唯一一个动作就是快速的转身逃跑，期望利用滑翔机的速度摆脱翼魔的追杀，但张铁不一样，他没有逃跑，而是快速的朝着那几个黑点冲了过去，连方向都没改变一下。
双方都在快速的接近中，只是短短几分钟的时间，那几个翼魔的形象就在张铁的眼中清晰起来。
那是三个人形的蝙蝠，最接近这种东西的外观描述的，就是传说中的吸血鬼，只不过与传说中那些外形被传说美化了的吸血鬼不同，翼魔的身体，除了他的那一对巨大的翅膀一样，整个躯干，都显得有些精瘦，手脚很长，顶着一个类似蝙蝠的脑袋，青面獠牙，脸色狰狞，看上去非常的渗人。
第一次和这种生物交手，张铁心中也没有百分之百的把握，为了确保让这几个家伙哪怕受了伤也能死得透彻一点，在看到这些家伙的时候，张铁驾驶的滑翔机在飞了一段之后，张铁感觉到附近有一个上升的热气流，就驾驶滑翔机切入到那个上升的热气流之中，借着热气流的力量，开始快速的爬升。
那三个翼魔以为张铁想跑，也就跟着一起往高处飞，追着上来。
翼魔飞行的速度很快，九级的翼魔在天空中能爬高到七八千米的高度。 飞行的时速也可以达到每小时200多公里，一般的飞艇和滑翔机遇到翼魔后都很难逃脱得了。
在快速的爬升了千米之后，那三个翼魔的队伍分散开来。 似乎想完成对张铁的包抄，双方的距离也越来越近。
张铁冷笑着，用一只手掌握着驾驶杆，另外一只手已经从滑翔机的驾驶舱中拿出了一发掌中箭。
大灾变之前，人类发明了飞机之后，人类之间的第一次空战，就是飞行员与飞行员之间用手枪的对决。 这个时候的张铁，就有一种回到了大灾变之前的那种感觉。
“呱……”。 随着一声刺耳而难听的尖叫声，在他滑翔机前方两侧的两个翼魔同时向他扑了过来，双方的距离眨眼之间就从几百米拉近到一百多米。
在零点一秒之内，张铁以超快的手速，放出了两发掌中箭，两个翼魔的脑袋刹那之间就被两发掌中箭击中，那狰狞还凝固翼魔的脸上，两个脑袋瞬间就四分五裂。
张铁的滑翔机从两团在天空中飘散的血雾之中快速穿过。
在滑翔机机身一个灵活侧翻的同时，张铁捕捉到了从自己侧后方追上来的那个翼魔的身影，又是一发掌中箭发出，两百米外，那个翼魔的脑袋也瞬间被洞穿爆裂，巨大的翅膀无力的扇动了两下，然后也像一个漏风的破口袋一样，从天空中掉了下去。
张铁一下子松了一口气，翼魔果然没有他想象中的那么难以对付，开始的时候，他还担心，如果翼魔也像铁甲魔一样，拥有着一副强悍的身体和变︶态的防御力的话，再加上他们灵活的速度，以他手中掌中箭的威力，在天空这种有着剧烈气流和大风的环境下，如果掌中箭的威力受到影响，很有可能无法一击致命，所以他才选择爬高，在这样的高度，就算受伤掉下去也能让翼魔挂掉。
而现实的情况却一下子让张铁放下心来，这些九级的翼魔的身体，并不以防御见长，200米之内，这些九级的翼魔对自己的掌中箭没有什么抵抗能力。
张铁一下子心中大定。 此刻的滑翔机还处于这个上升的热气流之中，身边有这么一个热气流，张铁也不浪费，而是就在这个热气流中让滑翔机开始继续的盘旋爬升。
张铁觉得其实驾驶滑翔机也挺简单的，说来说去也就是在上升气流之间玩着这种进进出出的游戏，天空中上升的热气流就像是电梯，滑翔机坐到电梯之中，就开始获得高度，而且因为越高的地方空气越冷，那上升的热气流的速度也就越快，所以滑翔机借着热气流爬升的速度也会越高越快。
到了一定高度，在那上升热气流气泡的顶部区域或是自己想出来的话，滑翔机就从上升热气流的电梯里面出来，然后在下降的过程中获得动能，张铁感觉了一下，自己在空中每下降1米的高度，滑翔机在不同的情况下大概可以飞行50——100多米的距离。
当然，在实际的飞行途中，对上升热气流和各种气流的处理是非常灵活的，讲究的是随机应变，并没有什么固定的模式，要求你下降到某个高度的话必须要去找到一个上升的热气流，或者是上升到某个高度就必须出来之类的，所有的一切，都以你的飞行意图和你的驾驶水平而定。
在理论上，一架滑翔机可以无限制的在天空中这样飞100年都不成问题，当然，就算滑翔机能坚持这么久估计也没有人能坚持得了。
驾驶滑翔机说来说去就也就是不断的在上升的热气流之间进进出出，不断的玩着这种高度和速度的转化游戏。
张铁喜欢这种因为速度和高度带来的自由自在随心所欲的感觉，在天上的飞行的时候。 这种快感，比他在陆地上奔跑，在海洋中翱翔带来的快感还要大。
驾驶着滑翔机。 让张铁感觉自己变成了一只快乐而自由的鹰，有时候又化身成一根轻飘飘的羽毛，把万物都踩在脚下，在云中穿梭，在风中飘荡，轻飘飘没有一丝重量，把地平线作为自己的方向。 把大地作为自己的摇篮，这种感觉，让他深深的迷恋起来。
滑翔机驾驶舱中的高度仪上面的数字快速的刷新着。 在重新飞到了六千多米的高空，到了这个上升热气流的顶端，张铁从热气流中飞了出来。
让滑翔机和北风形成一个90度的角度。 并没有继续朝北方的魔族控制区飞去，而是转了一个方向，开始朝着东边飞去。
遇到翼魔的地方离水晶战堡已经超过了200多公里，已经是塞尔内斯战区的中间地带，既然深入到这里已经能遇到翼魔，那么，这一条线的东西两边遇到翼魔也就是大概率的事件，为了稳妥一些。 张铁并没有一个人继续鲁莽的朝北方飞去，而是就准备在这一条线上巡逻一遍。
把自己遇到的翼魔先干掉再说。 一个九级的家伙第一天上战场就要往着魔族军团的控制区去冲，这实在也太不把魔族军团当回事了。 为了自己的小命着想，先试试水深还是有必要的。
仅仅十分钟之后，飞在天上的张铁就又看到了两个翼魔，这一次，那两个翼魔在下面两千多米的高空飞行，两个翼魔的下面是一片森林，那两个翼魔似乎在从高处监视着下面森林的情况，根本没有想到张铁会出现在它们的上面。
看到这两个翼魔，张铁也不客气，直接一推驾驶杆，滑翔机机头一低，就如同从高空向下俯冲捕食的苍鹰一样，直接对着那两个翼魔俯冲下去，俯冲到一半的时候，张铁感觉到了身边的一个下沉气流，遇到这样的气流，对其他的滑翔机驾驶员来说简直避之唯恐不及，完全是滑翔机驾驶员的噩梦，但张铁却不在乎，直接让滑翔机切入到下沉气流之中，加速向着那两个翼魔冲去。
对张铁来说，这就是坐着电梯上下楼而已，没什么大不了的。
因为是俯冲，带着高度的优势，还会增加攻击的威力，这一次张铁手中的掌中箭出手得更早，几乎是在那两个翼魔刚刚转过身的时候，他的两发掌中箭就已经放出。
500米外，在两声爆音响起的时候，那两个翼魔的的脑袋同时化成一团血雾，从空中掉落下去。
森林中，一队人族的猎魔小队的成员悄悄的把自己隐藏在那些参天大树的树冠上，等那些小队的成员看到在天空中盘旋着的那两个翼魔居然被一架人族的滑翔机干下来的时候，那些人简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。
不一会儿的功夫，翼魔的尸体掉落在了森林之中，那一队猎魔小队的人快速的朝那两个翼魔冲了过去，看到那两个翼魔那杯爆掉的脑袋，一个留着一脸浓密胡子脸上画着迷彩的大汉吸了一口冷气。
“居然真的是被刚刚那架滑翔机干掉了，怎么可能，那个人是怎么做到的？”
“是啊，战区里来了这么一号人物我们怎么可能没听说过？” 旁边的一个家伙也是一脸震惊，“什么时候战区飞艇部队的人干掉一个翼魔变得像狩猎一样轻松了！”
“马上离开这里，把这两具翼魔的尸体带上。” 莱因哈特高大的身影从一堆一个人高的草丛中钻了出来，手上还提着一个铁甲魔滴血的脑袋，“或许是某些国家和家族已经有了克制翼魔的办法，这个情报很重要，要把这里的情报立刻向帝国和联军指挥部报告……”(未完待续。 。

Chapter 559: The Wing Demon Buster
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Seeing the black spots drawing closer to him in a manner which was completely different than that of gliders, Zhang Tie knew that they were wing demons.
If it was another driver of the glider, at the sight of those wing demons, he would instantly turn around and escape. However, Zhang Tie was different. He didn't escape; instead, he sped up towards those black spots.
In a few minutes, Zhang Tie had seen clearly those wing demons.
They were three humanoid bats, who were similar to the legendary vampires. However, being different from vampire whose look had been beautified, besides having a pair of huge wings, wing demons looked lean all over. They had long limbs and a bat's head. With a green face and grim fangs, they looked pretty terrifying.
As it was Zhang Tie's first time to fight this kind of living beings, he was not sure that he could kill them. In order to ensure that he could give a severe blow to them, Zhang Tie played a trick. After flying for a while, Zhang Tie felt an ascending thermal current. Therefore, he cut into the ascending thermal current and kept ascending rapidly with the strength of the thermal current.
The three wing demons thought that Zhang Tie was going to escape; therefore, they followed after Zhang Tie.
Wing demons could fly very fast. A LV 9 wing demon could reach 7,000 to 8,000 m in the sky while their speed could reach more than 200 km/h. Average airships and gliders could hardly escape from wing demons.
After ascending by about 1,000 m, the three wing demons separated. It seemed that they wanted to outflank Zhang Tie. The distance between them and Zhang Tie was also gradually narrowed.
Zhang Tie sneered. With one hand on the driving handle, he took out of a palm bolt from the cockpit of the glider by another hand.
Before the Catastrophe, after human beings invented the airplane, the first air battle between humans was a duel between pilots using pistols. This time, Zhang Tie felt returning to the first air battle before the Catastrophe. However, he was not using a pistol but a palm bolt. His opponent was not human, but wing demons.
"Gua..." with a jarring shrill, two wing demons charged at him from two sides in front his glider. In a split second, their distance had been narrowed from hundreds of meters to just 100 m.
In 0.1 second, Zhang Tie released two palm bolts, splitting the grim heads of the two wing demons into pieces at once. When two blood mists spurted in the sky, the sonic booms caused by the two palm bolts sounded.
Closely after that, the two wing demons fell down from over 4,000 m in the sky.
Zhang Tie rapidly penetrated through the two blood mists. While inclining his glider to one side, Zhang Tie caught sight of the last wing demon who caught up with him from the rear side. With another palm bolt, Zhang Tie boomed that wing demon's head from over 200 m away. After its huge wings flapped twice weakly, it fell down from the sky like a broken bag.
Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh. Wing demons were not that difficult to deal with. In the beginning, he was still worried about that if wing demons had the powerful body and pervert defensive power like that of iron-armored demons, plus their rapid moving speed, he could hardly give them a fatal blow with his palm bolt in the environment of sharp airflow and heavy wind. Therefore, he chose to ascend. In such a height, even if the wing demons were wounded and fell down, they would also lose their lives.
After realizing the real fighting strength of wing demons, Zhang Tie became reassured. These LV 9 wing demons were not good at defense. Within 200 m, these LV 9 wing demons were irresistible to his palm bolt.
Thus, Zhang Tie became thrilled. At this moment, the glider was still in the ascending thermal current. Zhang Tie kept ascending in the thermal current.
Zhang Tie found it very simple to drive a glider. Actually, it was just a game in and out an ascending airflow. The ascending airflow was like an elevator. Sitting in the elevator, the glider would reach a new height. Additionally, the higher it was, the cooler it would be, the faster the thermal current would ascend. Therefore, the higher the glider was, the faster it would ascend in the thermal current.
After reaching a certain height, the glider could come out of the elevator of the ascending thermal current from the top of the bubble. When in descending, he could gain a momentum. Zhang Tie felt that each 1 km he descended, the glider could fly 50-100 m forward.
When he descended to a certain height and encountered another ascending thermal current, he could take an elevator once again; after gaining another momentum, he could fly freely for another while in the sky. Of course, the actual flight required very agile manipulations of ascending thermal currents and various airflow. When you descended, you had to find an ascending thermal current and came out of the thermal current after reaching a height. Everything was determined by your flight intention and your driving skill.
Theoretically, a glider could keep flying 100 years in this way. Of course, even if a glider could fly so long in the air, nobody could stand it.
Honestly, it was just a game of height and speed in and out ascending thermal current.
Zhang Tie liked this feeling of freedom brought by speed and height. When flying in the sky, he felt cooler than running on the land and swimming in the ocean.
Driving the glider, Zhang Tie felt like becoming a happy and free eagle. Sometimes, he turned into a light stick of feather. Putting everything under his feet, he penetrated through the clouds and floated in the wind without any weight. Treating the horizon as his direction, the land as his cradle, Zhang Tie was deeply fascinated by that feel.
The data on the altimeter of the cockpit of the glider refreshed rapidly. After reaching over 6,000 m which was the top of the ascending thermal current, Zhang Tie flew out of the thermal current.
At this moment, the north wind started in the sky. Zhang Tie turned his glider in an agile way to make it vertical to the direction of the north wind. He didn't continue to fly towards the demon's area in the north; instead, he flew eastward.
The place where he met wing demons was over 200 km away from the Crystal Battle Fortress. It was already in the middle of the Selnes Theater of Operations. Now that he could meet wing demons here, he would probably meet more wing demons on both east and west of this route. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't continue to fly northward; instead, he prepared to patrol along this route and killed some more wing demons.
A LV 9 guy who dared to enter the area which was under the control of demon corps on the first day was too careless. For the sake of his life, Zhang Tie found it necessary to try the fighting strength of his enemy.
Only after 10 minutes, Zhang Tie had seen another two wing demons. They were flying 2,000 m below him. They were monitoring the woods below them as they could not imagine that Zhang Tie was above them.
At the sight of the two wing demons, Zhang Tie instantly pushed forward the driving handle, causing the glider to lower its head and dive towards the two wing demons like how an eagle charged towards its prey. On the halfway, Zhang Tie felt a descending airflow, which would always be avoided by other drivers; however, Zhang Tie didn't care about it at all. He directly cut into the descending airflow and accelerated towards the two wing demons.
It was just like taking an elevator for Zhang Tie.
Because Zhang Tie was diving towards them, with the advantage in height, Zhang Tie had a sharper momentum. Zhang Tie almost had already launched his palm bolts when the two wing demons turned around.
About 500 m away, when the two sonic booms sounded, the two wing demons' heads spurted into blood mists at the same time as they fell down...
... A human hunting team was hiding in the crowns of those top trees. When they saw the two wing demons were shot down by a human glider, they could not believe in their eyes.
After a short while, the wing demons' corpses fell in the woods. The hunting team soon rushed towards there. Watching their bloody heads, a tough man with a thick mustache and camouflage face drew in a cold breath.
"They were indeed shot down by that glider. That's amazing! How did he do that?"
"Yeah, we've not heard about such a No.1 figure in our theater of operations." another guy replied with an amazed look, "How could a member of the airship troop kill a wing demon as easily as hunting a prey?"
"Leave out of here right now. Take the two corpses." Reinhardt drilled out of the 1.8 m high brushwood as he lifted a bloody head of a wing demon, "Perhaps some countries or clans have already found out the method to deal with wing demons. That's a very important intelligence. We need to report this intelligence to the headquarters of the empire and the allied forces..."

Regardless of location, brute force would definitely be useful.\n“How do we compare to the officials of Great Xia then?” one of the students asked. “What you taught us was different from them.”\nRen Baqian stroked his chin and answered as he thought about the officials of ancient China, “There are many different types of officials in Great Xia.

However, you are the ones who will propel this world forward and make everyone’s eyes pop because they will see a different world every day when they wake up.”\nPolitics was one factor, and technology was another. Regardless of which angle one looked, Ren Baqian felt that the impact of technology was always slightly greater. Especially with a focus on the entire world, only technology could invoke changes.\n“Sir Ren is so ambitious! I would really want to wake up every day and see what the new world looks like.” Tong Zhenye’s voice spread over the walls from far away.\nHe must have some special type of ears to be able to hear from so far away.\nRen Baqian waved his hands at the students as he walked over to the main door to welcome the visitors.\nAs he stood there, he only saw Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan riding on their mounts and staring at each other with rather displeased looks. He didn’t understand what made these two, the Minister of Works and the Minister of War, detest each other so much. It was as if one had stolen the wife of the other.\nBehind them was the empress’s imperial carriage, and the rest of the court officials were further behind. Xin Zhe and the bodyguards then followed far behind the others.\nThinking it over, why would these people require protection from others?\nIt would already be good if they didn’t go around collecting protection fees from others.\nApart from Li Fu, anyone would feel their scalps turn numb if they were to see such a group of paramount experts.\n“What good stuff do you have to show us today?” Tong Zhenye winked at Ren Baqian from afar.\nAs a form of greeting, Qin Chuan nodded as well.\n“Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings to all officials.”\nIn a twitch of her body, the empress appeared in front of the steps of the school. She looked up at the school’s signboard and the surrounding walls as she very seldom came here. The last time she was here, the walls were still a layer of red bricks. At present, many green vines had crept up the walls, and the coupling of these two together made it quite pleasant looking.\n“Let me see what you have achieved.” The empress walked hastily toward Ren Baqian. Even though she didn’t really understand the steam engine, she remembered Ren Baqian highlighting the importance of it during their normal chats and that it was said to be the start of Earth’s modern day industries.\nAs such, she was rather looking forward to this steam engine.\n“This way please, Your Majesty, and all officials!” Ren Baqian glanced across the crowd and saw Shi Qing and the others. Many of the visitors had lowly regarded members of their families in the school, and they were looking forward to see what their younger generation had learned over these nine months in school.\nThis so-called school had always been a courtyard with a couple of houses, and this remained the same into the present.\nEven though the layer of vines made the school look less crude and simple than before, it still looked like an elementary school in the mountains to Ren Baqian, which was the most crude and simple school that ever existed.\nAt this moment, the students in the school had vanished from sight. Ren Baqian led the crowd to a small pond in the backyard as more than 10 students stood next to a weird looking object.\nThe object was mainly made up of a huge metal barrel, a wooden barrel, a wooden box, a messy network of pipes and wooden poles, and a huge wheel.\n“So, this is what you have produced after more than a month?” Tong Zhenye spoke softly as he inched closer to Ren Baqian. However, there wasn’t much difference between his soft voice and his yells, so everyone on the ground heard it.\nTong Lan’s face immediately turned black.\nIn any case, this was their entire month’s efforts, which unexpectedly got ridiculed by her old man.\n“Not me, but them,” responded Ren Baqian, which turned everyone’s face even darker. Just a while ago, he said that the students were pioneers and would be recorded in history. Had he just discarded them aside so quickly?\nHe called them sweeties when everything was good just a moment ago, but now, they became madame cows? (TLC. Not sure about this term.)\n“However, don’t belittle this steam engine. The existence of this steam engine here represents the start of a new age,” Ren Baqian said.\n“Demonstrate it!” the empress said faintly.\n“Let them experience it for themselves.” Ren Baqian looked over at Tong Lan and the rest.\nThe students had already got it prepared earlier and filled the metal barrel with water. When Ren Baqian gave the cue to begin, they started a fire beneath the barrel to boil the water, and the entire courtyard was immediately filled with smoke.\n“Is this preparing for a bath?” Tong Zhenye grinned.\n“I suggest you observe quietly first.” Ren Baqian shook his head.\nThe crowd also waited to see what sort of tricks the students could produce.\nWhen the temperature of the water rose to a certain level, steam began to pass through the pipes to the gas cylinders and engine case. The pistons in the case started to actuate the tuning fork (TLC. Maybe something like crankshaft or connecting rod? A tuning fork is usually for stuff like musical instruments.) and linkage on the outside, which in turn rotated the flywheel at the front."

“腰都挺起来。
虽然你们现在只是学府的学生，还没有官职在身，但你们已经是这个世界的先驱。
你们现在还无法知道这个蒸汽机会带来什么。
但过上几年，十几年回头再看，你们将会被这个世界的历史所铭记。
你们每一个人都是会被后人记在史书上的人物。 你们的伟大，仅次于我，而我的伟大，仅次于陛下！”
任八千对面前众多学生斩钉截铁道。 女帝和众多大臣的座驾距离学府已经只有一盏茶的路程了，不过他看那些学生在兴奋过后陷入忐忑当中，不知道这个蒸汽机是否会被那些大人物所欣赏。
毕竟这个蒸汽机的功能只是提水而已，铜兰提水的速度都比蒸汽机要快得多。
不过任八千比他们所有人更明白蒸汽机的价值和意义。
地球自从蒸汽机出现后才开始了工业革命。
虽然这个世界的科技还没达到这一步，蒸汽机也只是学府里这些人的玩具。 可在自己的推动下，那场工业革命必然会到来。
众多学生听到他的话也下意识挺起了胸膛，不过听到最后一句轰然笑了起来。
“虽然你们的天赋，在古族的传统观念看来，并不初中呢，甚至可以归类为垃圾。 但你们要记得，砂锅一样大的拳头有很多，遍地都是。 可能动脑的人却不多。
石敢问道。 “你说呢？
自然是劳心！” 任八千横他一眼，结果发现了他脸上的坏笑。
“那陛下呢？”
“也是劳心！” “那为什么老师是治于人的那个？” 铜兰双眼放光问道，看样子他要是回答不好，他们就要起哄了。
“当然因为陛下是……智勇双全了！”
有个学生问道。 “老师教的东西和他们的不一样。”
“大夏的士子也分很多种，有的是风花雪月，有的是治民治天下，而你们是推动这个天下快速向前滚动，让所有人都吓掉眼睛，每天睁开眼都是一个不一样的世界。” 任八千摸摸下巴，想了想华国古代的士子道。
一方面是政治，一方面是科技，无论从哪个角度上来说，任八千都觉得科技的作用更大一点，尤其是对于一个世界来说，只有科技才能让这个世界变得不一样。
“任大人好志气！ 老夫倒想看看每天睁开眼都是一个新世界是什么模样。”
也不知道他是生了什么耳朵，这么远都能听得到。
任八千朝着众多学生摆摆手，背着手到学府门口去迎接众人了。
只见铜震野和秦川两人骑着坐骑在前面，没事互相瞅一眼鼻子不是鼻子眼睛不是眼睛的，真不知道这两个一个是工部尚书一个兵部尚书是怎么弄的跟有夺妻之恨似的。
在两人身后则是女帝的銮驾，其他朝中大员则是在女帝后面，至于心折等护卫则被远远抛到后面了。
想想也是，这帮人哪个还需要别人保护？
他们不去收别人的保护费就不错了。
除了李福，不管谁看见这么一群至尊天的高手都得头皮发麻。
“今天又有什么好东西让我们看？”
秦川也点头算是打过招呼了。
“见过陛下，见过诸位大人。”
女帝身形一动就出现在学府台阶之前，抬头看看学府的牌匾，又看了看周围的院墙，她倒是极少来这里。 不过上次来的时候这里的院墙还是一片红砖的，如今却爬上了许多绿色的藤蔓，和红砖搭在一起，倒是好看了不少。
女帝冲着任八千道。 虽然她也不是很明白蒸汽机，不过却在平日聊天的时候听任八千说过蒸汽机的重要性，可以说是地球近代工业的开端。
因此她对这个蒸汽机也很是期待。
“陛下请，诸位大人请！” 任八千在人群里扫了一眼，石青等人都在其中，不少人都是家中有不受待见的子弟在学府里，他们也想看看这些子弟九个多月来都学到了什么。
所谓的学府，一直都只是一个院子加上几间房子而已，到现在依然如此。
虽然现在爬上的一层藤蔓让学府看起来不像原来那么简陋了，不过在任八千看来仍然和山区小学似的，可以说是最为简陋的学府了。
院子里的学生此时都不见了，任八千引着众人来到后院才看到一个小小的池塘边，几十个学生站在一个古怪的东西附近。
那个东西主要是由一个很大的铁桶，一个木桶，一个木盒子，一堆杂乱的管道和木杆，还有一个巨大的车轮组成。
“这就是你们一个多月做出来的？” 铜震野凑到任八千身边小声道，不过他那小声和扯着嗓门喊也差不多少，全场是都听到了。
铜兰顿时脸就黑了。
这好歹是他们一个多月做出来的，结果竟然被自己的阿爷嘲笑了。
任八千道，让众人的脸更黑了。 方才还说我们是先驱，会被历史铭记来着，这么快就把我们甩一边了？
当初花前月下叫人小甜甜，现在就叫人家牛夫人了？
“不过你们别小看了这个蒸汽机，蒸汽机出现在这里，代表了一个新时代的开端。” 任八千道。
“演示一下看看吧！” 女帝淡淡道。
任八千转过头冲着铜兰等人道。
之前众人已经准备好了，在大铁桶里也装好了水，等着任八千说开始，便在大铁桶下面生火烧水，院子里顿时烟气滚滚。
“这是准备洗澡么？”
“铜大人还是安静看着吧。” 任八千摇摇头。
其他人也都等着看他们能玩出什么花样来。
随着水温加热到一定程度，蒸汽开始通过管道灌入汽缸和分流盒中，里面的活塞推动者外面的音叉状连杆，带动着最前方的飞轮转动起来。

However, when you all look back a decade later, your names will be engraved in the history of this world. Every one of you will be recorded in the history books by your successors. Your nobility will only be second to mine and my greatness second only to the empress!”
Ren Baqian gave a pep talk to the students. The carriages of the empress and the officials were only a cup of tea’s time away from the school. However, he noticed that the students became very nervous after all the excitement and were unsure if those big shots would appreciate this steam engine.
After all, this steam engine’s function was only to fetch water. Tong Lan would be able to fetch water much faster than this steam engine could.
However, Ren Baqian understood the significance and value of the steam engine much better than anyone else.
The industrial revolution happened on Earth only after the invention of the steam engine.
Even though the technologies of this world hadn’t reached that state yet and the steam engine was simply just a toy for those people at the school, the industrial revolution would certainly arrive one day due to his impetus.
Many students subconsciously stood up straight with confidence after hearing what Ren Baqian was saying, only to burst into laughter when he finished his last sentence.
“Even though you guys aren’t innately talented in the traditional sense of the aboriginals, so much that you have been categorized as trash, you must remember this: claypot-sized fists are in abundance and can be found anywhere, but there aren’t many who can use their brains. One who thinks with the mind will control people, whereas one who works with force will be controlled by people,” Ren Baqian added.
“Teacher, do you work with brains or force?” Shi Gan asked.
“What do you think? Brains, of course!” Ren Baqian gave him the side-eye before noticing the grin on his face.
“Brains as well!”
“Then why are you the one being controlled?” Tong Lan asked with her eyes wide open. By the looks of the situation, if Ren Baqian were to give a bad answer, the students would begin to create a disturbance.
“Of course, it’s because the empress is… Both brave and wise!” Ren Baqian whimpered. He couldn’t possibly say that the crucial point was that the empress had larger fists. Regardless of location, brute force would definitely be useful.
“How do we compare to the officials of Great Xia then?” one of the students asked. “What you taught us was different from them.”
Ren Baqian stroked his chin and answered as he thought about the officials of ancient China, “There are many different types of officials in Great Xia. Some are driven by lust, whereas others control their commoners and want to rule the world. However, you are the ones who will propel this world forward and make everyone’s eyes pop because they will see a different world every day when they wake up.”
Politics was one factor, and technology was another. Regardless of which angle one looked, Ren Baqian felt that the impact of technology was always slightly greater. Especially with a focus on the entire world, only technology could invoke changes.
“Sir Ren is so ambitious! I would really want to wake up every day and see what the new world looks like.” Tong Zhenye’s voice spread over the walls from far away.
He must have some special type of ears to be able to hear from so far away.
Ren Baqian waved his hands at the students as he walked over to the main door to welcome the visitors.
As he stood there, he only saw Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan riding on their mounts and staring at each other with rather displeased looks. He didn’t understand what made these two, the Minister of Works and the Minister of War, detest each other so much. It was as if one had stolen the wife of the other.
Behind them was the empress’s imperial carriage, and the rest of the court officials were further behind. Xin Zhe and the bodyguards then followed far behind the others.
Thinking it over, why would these people require protection from others?
It would already be good if they didn’t go around collecting protection fees from others.
Apart from Li Fu, anyone would feel their scalps turn numb if they were to see such a group of paramount experts.
“What good stuff do you have to show us today?” Tong Zhenye winked at Ren Baqian from afar.
As a form of greeting, Qin Chuan nodded as well.
“Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings to all officials.”
In a twitch of her body, the empress appeared in front of the steps of the school. She looked up at the school’s signboard and the surrounding walls as she very seldom came here. The last time she was here, the walls were still a layer of red bricks. At present, many green vines had crept up the walls, and the coupling of these two together made it quite pleasant looking.
“Let me see what you have achieved.” The empress walked hastily toward Ren Baqian. Even though she didn’t really understand the steam engine, she remembered Ren Baqian highlighting the importance of it during their normal chats and that it was said to be the start of Earth’s modern day industries.
As such, she was rather looking forward to this steam engine.
“This way please, Your Majesty, and all officials!” Ren Baqian glanced across the crowd and saw Shi Qing and the others. Many of the visitors had lowly regarded members of their families in the school, and they were looking forward to see what their younger generation had learned over these nine months in school.
This so-called school had always been a courtyard with a couple of houses, and this remained the same into the present.
Even though the layer of vines made the school look less crude and simple than before, it still looked like an elementary school in the mountains to Ren Baqian, which was the most crude and simple school that ever existed.
At this moment, the students in the school had vanished from sight. Ren Baqian led the crowd to a small pond in the backyard as more than 10 students stood next to a weird looking object.
The object was mainly made up of a huge metal barrel, a wooden barrel, a wooden box, a messy network of pipes and wooden poles, and a huge wheel.
“So, this is what you have produced after more than a month?” Tong Zhenye spoke softly as he inched closer to Ren Baqian. However, there wasn’t much difference between his soft voice and his yells, so everyone on the ground heard it.
Tong Lan’s face immediately turned black.
In any case, this was their entire month’s efforts, which unexpectedly got ridiculed by her old man.
“Not me, but them,” responded Ren Baqian, which turned everyone’s face even darker. Just a while ago, he said that the students were pioneers and would be recorded in history. Had he just discarded them aside so quickly?
He called them sweeties when everything was good just a moment ago, but now, they became madame cows? (TLC. Not sure about this term.)
“However, don’t belittle this steam engine. The existence of this steam engine here represents the start of a new age,” Ren Baqian said.
“Demonstrate it!” the empress said faintly.
“Let them experience it for themselves.” Ren Baqian looked over at Tong Lan and the rest.
The students had already got it prepared earlier and filled the metal barrel with water. When Ren Baqian gave the cue to begin, they started a fire beneath the barrel to boil the water, and the entire courtyard was immediately filled with smoke.
“Is this preparing for a bath?” Tong Zhenye grinned.
“I suggest you observe quietly first.” Ren Baqian shook his head.
The crowd also waited to see what sort of tricks the students could produce.
When the temperature of the water rose to a certain level, steam began to pass through the pipes to the gas cylinders and engine case. The pistons in the case started to actuate the tuning fork (TLC. Maybe something like crankshaft or connecting rod? A tuning fork is usually for stuff like musical instruments.) and linkage on the outside, which in turn rotated the flywheel at the front.

第三十八章
在一家老式的茶楼里头，有这样一群人。
男男女女，年龄不同，但都坐在蒲团上，带着虔诚，共同地看着盘坐在他们面前的一名老者，倾听着从老者口中说出的每一句说话。
“我灵愁苦，要发出言语。
“不从恶人的计谋，不站罪人的道路，不坐亵慢人的座位。”
“有何人喜好存活，爱慕长寿，得享美福，就要禁止舌头不出恶言，嘴唇不说诡诈的话。”
老者口中滔滔不断地说着仿佛能够警教世的说话，众人听得痴迷，更有甚至直接用纸笔抄录下来。
听着老者口里头说出来的东西，不过是某个信仰被钉在十字架上的男人的教派教义之中窃取出来的东西，而且还是直接窃取半点修饰都没有的情况下，这群人居然还认认真真地当作是是灵神的神谕。
一群白痴。
任紫玲不禁暗自想到。
她悄悄地伸手转动了一下藏在衣领之中的微型镜头，想要尽量地拍下最前面那个，被这些人叫做‘灵师’的老人。
这是她这段时间费尽了心机才打进组织的难得机会，所以她需要抓紧这次机会，好好地曝光一下这个叫做‘灵神真理’的组织。
“我从虚无来，亦从虚无去，生相乃虚妄。”
前方叫做‘灵师’的老者忽然睁开了双眼，轻轻地摆手道：“众生皆苦，何不脱了衣服去？”
何不脱了衣服去？
自那灵师上下，此时众人都露出了庄严的神情，站起身来，一件一件地脱下身上的衣服，一点保留也没有留下。
“何不相互清洗我等罪孽？”
任紫玲一开始觉得不妥，如今是真的惊恐下来。 她寻思着已经没有办法再继续呆下去，想着趁这些人都看着前方还没有注意到她的时候偷偷开溜。
反正手头上拍到的东西，已经足够劲爆，同时也足够将这个组织进行非法的，需要取缔的定义。
可正当她悄悄打开门，溜出走廊的时候，迎面却走来了两名大汉。 其中一名冷笑道：“这就想走了吗？
灵师的布道还没有结束呢。” 任紫玲略微后退了一步，赔上笑脸道：“我只是个凡人，听不明白这些大道理。 这自在人我是不打算做了，两位大哥要是喜欢就继续……里头的节目你们应该会比较欢喜。”
“那就一起吧。” 另外一名大汉阴仄仄地笑了一身，“早就知道你是混进来的了！”
任紫玲一愣，想也不想就朝着走廊的另外一边跑去，不料从这个方向也马上冲出了两名大汉。
此时四名大汉前后夹击过来，任紫玲深呼吸着，大声说道：“你们最好不要乱来，你们以为我会什么准备也没有就敢过来吗？
说着，任紫玲也不打算和这四个大汉缠都，一手撑着栏杆，翻身就从茶馆的二楼朝着大堂跳了下来。
这个茶馆是这个组织的据点，根本就没有营业，就算这样的举动也没有谁看见。
任紫玲跳下，轻松落地，想也不想就打算夺门而出。
不料才跑了几步路，任紫玲就感觉到双腿突然之间乏力，竟是直接摔到了在地上。 她抬头一看，却见那个灵师已经房间之中走出，仅仅穿着了一条裤子，露出了一身精壮的肌肉，根本不像是一个老人应有。
灵师脸色有种一种骇人之气，双手在胸膛前面结出一个奇怪的手印，此时不满地喝道：“废物，抓个女人也抓不住，非得让我亲自动手！
什么情况？ 任紫玲一愣，感觉到双腿完全麻木没有知觉，不由得惊恐地看着四名大汉从楼上直接冲下。
她双手用力地在地上撑着，想要爬出，但双手也变得麻木起来，全身上下都像是灌了铅一样，动弹不得。
“哈哈哈！ 大师，这个女人比那些白痴信徒漂亮多了！”
一名大汉摩拳擦掌地走到了任紫玲的身边，脸露出奸邪之色，伸手就打算朝着任紫玲的胸口抓去。
任紫玲有种无奈地看着这个大汉，但是生性将强，虽然想到将会可能受到很糟糕的对待，但还想着应该怎么才能够脱身。
越是这个时候，越需要冷静下来。
“拿开你的脏手！” 任紫玲忽然朝着那大汉瞪了过去。
大汉愣是被吓得手停了一下，但想到居然会被一个没有反抗能力的女人给吓着，不禁老羞成怒，狞笑道：“老子等会让你哭！”
这手是不打算停下了了。
那双饱满的圣女峰，马上就会被随意的玩弄，大汉双眼甚至露出兴奋之色。
不料就在此时，一阵剧痛在大汉的手臂之上传来……似乎是被什么狠狠地敲了一下！
大汉甚至感觉到自己的手骨似乎都已经被敲断了过去一样！
那是一根黑色的长棍……不，应该是一根黑色的手仗才对。
大汉痛叫了一声，连忙后退了两步，却见任紫玲的身边，不知道什么时候，仿佛是凭空出现的一般。
那是一个穿着一身黑色服装，脸上带着小丑面具还有高顶礼帽的奇怪家伙。
“你……是什么人？”
基本上不同的声音都在同一时间响起。 任紫玲惊异不定地问着，那边上的灵师也是皱着眉头。
“叫我……咳，嗯，叫我小丑吧。”
带着个小丑面具就做小丑？ 这也太随便了吧？
当然这是任紫玲心内头的想法……但是顾不得她的想法，那灵师此时冷哼一声道：“哼，不管你是小丑还是什么……给我抓住这个想当英雄的白痴！
剩下三名大汉同时朝着小丑扑来。
不料这小丑只是随意地挥舞着手上的黑色手杖，一敲一个准确，并且那力度异常的骇人，手杖不过是随便碰到了大汉的身体，就直接把人扫飞出去。
没有看出，是那种一飞就飞出好几米远的那种飞出去！
才不过十来秒的时间，几名大汉都躺在了地上，痛苦地哀嚎了起来。
此时，小丑朝着二楼走廊上的灵师看去。
而灵师则是脸色微变，暗自流出冷汗，双手飞快地在胸膛前面又开始结着手印起来。
不料那小丑的黑色长杖忽然在旁边一张茶台上一扫，黑仗击中了一个白色茶杯。 那茶杯就像是脱缰的野马一样，激射而出，精准地砸到了灵师的手腕骨之上。
整个小茶杯甚至砸的爆裂，而那灵师更加是惨叫一声，手腕骨直接碎裂。
小丑面具下面，洛邱较为满意地笑了笑。
虽然只是类似念动力之类的隔空移物能力的应用。

Chapter 38 The ‘Martial Artist’
A group of people were gathered in an old-fashioned tea house.
Men and women of different ages were sitting on cattail hassocks, each emitting an aura of godliness, focusing intently on every sentence coming out with the old man ahead of them.
“Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.”
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.”
“Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.”
… The old man kept speaking admonitory words while his audience listened as if mesmerized. there were even some who took down his classic quotes.
[The words he is spouting are nothing more than a copy from some religion where a man was crucified on the cross. He even stole it without any modifications. These guys unexpectedly believe he is the oracle of some kind of god.]
What a bunch of idiots.
Ren Ziling was speechless.
She was sitting at the back of the group and was adjusting the angle of the micro camera hidden in her collar, trying to capture the old man on video. He was known as ‘The Psychic Teacher’.
This was a rare opportunity to spy on this organization, so she seized the chance and was eager to expose this organization named ‘Psychic Truth’.
“I come from nothingness, and go towards nihility, life is untruthful.”
The ‘Psychic Teacher’ opened his eyes suddenly and waved his hand slightly. “Mortal beings are always in pain, why not take off your clothes?”
Why not take off your clothes???
Once those words were said, everybody’s expression turned serious. They stood up, taking their clothes off piece by piece, until, at last, they were totally naked.
“Why don’t you wash away each other’s sins?”
Ren Ziling felt something was amiss at first, but now she was really frightened. She could not stay here any longer, thus intended to slip away before the rest took notice of her.
Anyhow, the photos she had snapped were shocking and were enough to have this illegal organization be banned.
However, when she opened the door stealthily and wanted to sneak out, two strong men approached her head on. One sneered, “Do you want to leave now? The Psychic Teacher hasn’t finished the preaching yet.”
Ren Ziling took a step back. With a smile, she said, “I’m only an ordinary person, and can’t understand these great truths. So I decided to give up being a free spirit. If you two big brothers prefer it, then go ahead…you’ll definitely enjoy the program inside.”
“Then let’s enjoy it together.” The other big strong man smiled insidiously. “We’ve long known you’re a spy!”
Ren Ziling gave a start, then rushed to the other side of the corridor without a second thought. However, another two appeared from the other direction.
At present, 4 strong men surrounded her. Ren Ziling breathed in deeply, and shouted, “You’d better behave yourselves. Did you think I came here unprepared? I tell you, I’ve called the poli…F*ck!!”
But she didn’t want to have a dogfight with the 4. Holding the handrail, she flipped over it, jumping down to reach hall on the second floor.
This tea house was the organization’s stronghold, which did not run any business. Therefore, nobody will notice what happened in it.
Ren Ziling jumped off and hit the ground lightly. Without thinking, she rushed out through the door immediately.
Unexpectedly she felt strength leaving her legs after merely running several steps and fell down to the ground. When she raised her head, she found that the psychic teacher had walked out of the room in merely a pair of pants. His upper body was naked, exposing well-defined muscles that an old man should not have.
The psychic teacher appeared outraged. He formed a weird hand seal in front of his chest, shouting at the men with disapproval, “You trash, can’t even catch a woman! Take her back!”
What was this situation? Ren Ziling was shocked. She couldn’t feel her legs and could only look in horror at the 4 strong men dashing down the stairs.
She pushed against the ground with her two hands, attempting to climb up. However, even her hands were feeling numb as well. Finally, her entire body just flopped to the ground, unable to move.
“Hahaha! Master, this woman is much more beautiful than those stupid believers!”
Damn it…I really should have called the police before I came…
Ren Ziling stared at this man helplessly, thinking of the terrible treatment she was going to receive. Nonetheless, she had a strong character and was still trying to figure out ways to free herself.
In this crucial time, she needed to maintain her calm.
“Take away your dirty hands!” Ren Ziling glared at that man.
The strong man was startled and stopped his hands for a moment. Then a wave of shame which turned into anger engulfed him after he realized he had been scared by a woman who was not able to resist. He grinned hideously, “I’ll make you cry right now!”
Seems like he didn’t have any intent to stop.
When he realized he could play with her plump breasts, the big man’s eyes flashed with excitement.
However, at this moment, the man felt a sharp pain on his arm… as if he was struck heavily by something!
The man felt as if his arm had been broken!
The weapon was a long stick… no, it should be a black cane.
The strong man cried, retreating two steps back. He then discovered someone had shown up beside Ren Ziling, as if appearing from thin air.
He was a weird guy dressed in a black suit, wearing a clown mask and a tall hat.
“Who are you?”
Different voices threw out the same at the same time. Whether it was the strong guy, Ren Ziling or the frowning psychic teacher.
“Call me…Eh-hum, call me Clown.”
[It was too simple to call a guy who wore a clown mask ‘clown’, right?]
This was, of course, Ren Ziling’s thought… As for the psychic teacher, he gave a cold snort. “Hum, I don’t care if you’re a clown or something… Catch this idiot with a hero complex now!”
The 3 remaining strong men rushed at the clown.
However unexpectedly, whenever this clown swung his black cane casually, it was an accurate and extremely powerful strike. As soon as the cane touched their bodies, they were swept away.
They were flung a few meters away!
In a few seconds, several strong men were laying on the ground, whimpering in pain.
At that time, the clown looked towards the psychic teacher on the second floor.
Seeing this, the psychic teacher’s look changed a little. He started sweating a little. Both hands were rapidly formed seals in front of his chest.
Yet the result was out of his expectations. The clown swept his cane across a tea table and hit a white teacup. The teacup flew out like a wild horse that had just been set free, accurately hitting the teacher’s wrist.
The teacup was cracked, and the psychic teacher screeched with his broken wrist.
Luo Qiu laughed with satisfaction under his mask.
Although it was only the ability to move objects with his mind.
But he felt like a ‘Martial Artist’. This was a rather cool scene…

第四百八十四章 苍崖！
在越南区政府的首脑岳重直接指定了陈瑶为谅山市市长，范同轩成为了太原市市长。 iG，彩虹其余政府人员则是由国内派遣过来的干部和一些岳重救出来的越南幸存者直接担任。
在这末世之中，一个强者甚至能够扭转局部战争的胜利。 可是强如岳重单枪匹马去挑战天堂神国这种大势力的军队也只有死路一条。 整个世界拥有无数的高手，并不是只有岳重一名强者。
岳重单挑不惧怕任何一个敌人。 可是若是七名二阶高手联手围攻他，他也没有必胜的把握。
在军方这边，岳重从贵宁市总预备队之中抽调了五个营的兵力和甘涛、潘金勇统帅的两个精锐营糅合在了一起，形成了谅山第一步兵团、凉山第二步兵团。
第一步兵团的团长是甘涛。 第二步兵团的团长是潘金勇。
同时陈胜勇领导的谅山市第三步兵团只有一个精锐营的营长是陈胜勇的人，并且那个精锐营的所有人都是陈胜勇的老部下。 第三步兵团其余两个步兵营的营长都是岳重的心腹，他们统帅的部队同样是越军之中有战斗力的部队，不过基层军官则大部分都是岳重的心腹。
也就是说陈胜勇真正能够指如臂使的也只有他麾下的一个精锐营。 当然只要他没有异心，其余两个步兵营也会接受他的指挥。
整编完毕之后，所有的部队都开始了训练。 特别是甘涛所在的第一步兵团，由于接收了大量天堂神国的火炮，炮手严重不足。
在谅山市、太原市两市岳重缴获了大量的粮食，那些粮食都是吴岩宏、陈胜勇四处打开粮库缴获的粮食。 那些粮食足够支持二十万人口吃五年。
他获得了几座小型兵工厂，那些兵工厂虽然无法生产大口径的炮弹·却可以生产子弹，小口径迫击炮弹。 若是拥有足够的原材料和工人，那些兵工厂全力开动，一个月也可以生产十五万发子弹·几千发迫击炮炮弹。
岳重一缴获那几座小型兵工厂之后，立即招募人手恢复了那几座小型兵工厂的工作。 有了那几座兵工厂的存在，岳重就能够自行生产子弹和一些迫击炮炮弹。
他麾下的战争潜力也能够增大几分。 岳重来到那几座小型兵工厂视察了一会之后心中静静的盘算道：“下一个目标是严州。 无论付出什么代价，我都必须拿下严州。”
严州乃是广西区的重工业城市，在那里有着各种重工业，还有广西最大的兵工厂。 若是能够收复严州，岳重麾下的工业能力便能够获得一个飞跃性的提高。
若是能够收复严州·不提子弹，就是大口径炮弹岳重也能够造得出来。
到了那个时候，岳重手握百万人口，同时还拥有自行大规模制造武器的能力，战争潜力将会一下翻十倍不止。
不过严州那边在末世之前就拥有三百多万人口，末世之后，只怕也有两百多万丧尸。
岳重刚刚走了几步，突然一股极为危险的感觉涌心头，他迅速向着一个草丛的方向看去·只见一名年约三十五六岁，脸带着五条爪痕，身材有些矮小，穿着一身皮衣，四肢粗大，肌肉结实，身体之到处都是伤痕的男子走了出来。
那名身到处都是伤痕的男子瞧了岳重一眼用沙哑的声音充满傲气的用华夏语问道：“你就是岳重？”
岳重瞧了那名男子一眼淡淡问道：“我是岳重！ 你是什么人？”
看在你还配合的份。 我就让你知道，今天你回死在什么人的手中。 我叫苍崖是来杀你的人，明年的今天就是你的忌日！”
苍崖向着岳重冷冷一笑，脚下一点·旋即以媲美二阶闪电的可怕速度手持一柄黑色大刀向着岳重冲过来。
“敏捷进化者？” 岳重瞧了苍崖那可怕的速度一眼，双眼一凝，恐惧术发动，一股强大的精神波动向着苍崖的识海冲击而去。
那强大的精神冲击一下轰在了苍崖的身竟是丝毫没有让他受到一丝伤害，他趋势不减一下冲到了岳重身前，狠狠一刀向着岳重劈去。
岳重几乎是同一时间就抽出了鳄牙锯刃一刀劈在了苍崖的刀。
刹那之间一股恐怖的巨力从苍崖的刀传来，硬生生的将岳重劈得倒退了三、四步。
“你是敏捷、力量的双属性进化者？” 岳重脸色微微一变手一翻，毒刺旋即出现在了他左手之中，他向着苍崖连开六枪。
苍崖自信一笑，身形连闪，连续避过了岳重六枪，突然冲到了岳重的身前一刀带着迅雷之势向着岳重劈去：“就让你死得明白点！ 我可是力量、敏捷、精神三属性进化者。
苍崖眼中闪过一抹冷笑，就在岳重的刀即将和他的刀接触之际，他一下发动了三级技能疾风刀，他手中的黑风刀速度陡然快了一倍，化过一道玄奥的轨迹绕过了岳重的大刀向着岳重的身体斩去。
苍崖的速度原本就极为可怕，在那技能加持之下到了一个不可思议的地步，他的刀几乎是刹那之间就劈在了岳重的身。
只见光芒一闪，一面白色的光盾陡然显现，射出白色的护罩挡住了苍崖那必杀的一击。
几乎是下一刻，一道冲天的炎柱一下向着苍崖轰去。
那魔炎之柱从地下爆出无物不焚，就是连二阶变异兽也会被焚烧成为灰烬，更别提苍崖这血肉之躯。
苍崖终于脸色大变立即发动了他所掌握的二阶技能操纵飓风无数狂暴的飓风一下环绕在他的身体之凝聚形成了一面巨大的风之壁障。
所有的魔炎刚刚一落在那风之壁障之，旋即被直接吹飞。
苍崖在那风之壁障的守护之下一脸轻蔑的瞧着岳重冷冷道：“逼得我拿出真本事。 看来你还有些本领。
苍崖双手一下背负在背后冷笑道：“没有用的！ ！
火光一闪，一发火箭弹旋即向着苍崖轰去。
那枚火箭弹飞到距离苍崖一米之处时候旋即爆炸开来，巨大的冲击波轰在那风之壁障之旋即被弹飞开来。
岳重看着那枚火箭弹连苍崖分毫都伤不了心中微微一沉知道遇到了可怕的强敌。 他丝毫没有放弃的意思他仰天迅速发出了一声长啸。
不过无论今天你叫什么人都只有死路一条。” 苍崖听到岳重那声长啸脸色大变，他若是被围殴也只能够狼狈而逃。
苍崖心中已经对岳重生出了极大的杀意，他手一挥一道道巨大的风刃如同暴风骤雨一般向着岳重射去。
岳重顶着那面白色的光盾发动技能影步向着一片建筑群逃去，同时一边逃，一边拿着一只05式微冲向着苍崖的方向射击。
天空之中的苍崖仿佛风暴的中心一般，岳重避过了大部分的风刃，却还是接连不断的有风刃轰击在那白色的光盾之。
仅仅坚持了四秒，那白色的光盾旋即破碎，岳重也趁机逃入了一栋建筑之后。

Chapter 484: Cang Ya!
Of the Vietnam cabinet that Yue Zhong established, Chen Yao was appointed to be the mayor of Lang Son City, while Fan Tong Xuan became Thai Nguyen’s mayor. The rest of the cabinet was formed out of his other trusted subordinates from China as well as some other Vietnamese survivors that he had rescued in the past.
As for the military, it went through a total overhaul. In this apocalyptic world, those with troops had power. While it was true that a single strong expert could cause the tide of a battle to change, even someone as insanely strong as Yue Zhong would die if he went against the Kingdom of God forces singlehandedly.

Their troops had high combat ability amongst the Vietnamese, it was just that they were commanded by mostly Yue Zhong’s men.
That was to say, Chen Shen Yong truly only had command over his own elite troops. Of course, once he had proven himself, the rest would come under his control.
After reorganizing, Yue Zhong once again set them all to training. Especially the troops of Gan Tao, who received instruction on how to operate the advanced weaponry under those soldiers from the Kingdom of God. Once they were proficient, they would be an additional effective measure against the zombies and Mutant Beasts.
Yue Zhong recovered a huge amount of rations in both cities that had been collected and hoarded by Wuyan Hong and Chen Sheng Yong. The total amount was enough to feed 200,000 people for another 5 years.
At the same time, there was an unexpected gain. Yue Zhong obtained a few small-scale factories, while they could not produce the heavier rounds for artillery, they could produce the smaller rounds and some smaller cannons. With enough materials and workers, and if the factories were to enter full-scale production, they could produce 150,000 rounds and a few thousand rockets per month.

He came to those small factories and observed the work, before quietly making a decision: “The next target will be Yan Zhou. Regardless of the price, I have to take it down.”
Yan Zhou was a huge industrial city within the Guang Xi region, and there were all sorts of industries there, as well as the largest military factory in the whole of Guang Xi. If he could conquer it, his establishments would gain a heavenly leap in terms of production and combat ability as well.
Not just the normal bullets, even larger and heavier rounds could be produced.
By that time, with his million-strong human resources, and the modernized weapons, the entire combat strength would increase by at least 10 times.
Yue Zhong left the factory and thought of the alluring Chen Yao and had a sudden passionate thought: “Should I go visit her?”
He had just taken a few steps when a sudden surge of danger arose in his heart. He swiftly turned to look towards a field a distance away, and discovered a middle aged man, with a face and body riddled with scars. He was short, but his muscles were defined and tough. He walked towards Yue Zhong.
Eyeing Yue Zhong, he spoke in Chinese, with a hoarse voice full of arrogance: “You’re Yue Zhong?”
Yue Zhong looked at him coolly and replied: “That’s me! Who’re you?”
“Great!! Since you’re so co-operative, I’ll let you know, just whose hands you’ll be dying at today! I’m Cang Ya, and I’m here to kill you! This time next year will be your death anniversary!”
He laughed coldly, before he shot towards Yue Zhong with a speed surpassing a Type 2 Lightning, brandishing a huge black blade.
“Agility Evolver?” Witnessing that speed, Yue Zhong could not help but evaluate, as his pupils contracted and he casted the [Art of Fear] ability. A huge Spirit attack was launched at Cang Ya.
Unfortunately, when the attack landed on Cang Ya, it didn’t affect him, nor was he speed decreased. Instead, he continued towards Yue Zhong, slashing him viciously.
At the same time, Yue Zhong pulled out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade, parrying the incoming blow.
Immediately, a frightening strength was transmitted through the clash, causing Yue Zhong to be sent back 3 to 4 steps.
“You’re an Agility and Strength dual-attribute Evolver?” Yue Zhong’s expression fell slightly, his Stinger appearing in his left hand, and he fired 6 shots at Cang Ya.
Cang Ya laughed confidently, dodging swiftly, evading all 6 shots. He suddenly rushed in front of Yue Zhong with a deadly slash: “I’ll let you die with no regrets! I’m a Strength, Agility and Spirit triple-attribute Evolver! Yue Zhong, you’re dead for sure!”
Cang Ya’s eyes flashed with a cold, mocking glint, just as the 2 weapons were about to clash again, he activated a Level 3 Wind-Splitting Blade. His Black Wind Blade came screaming down at twice the speed, turning into a beam of light that veered around Yue Zhong’s weapon, slashing towards his body.
Cang Ya’s original speed was already crazy, with the support of that skill, his blade seemed to reach Yue Zhong’s body instantaneously.
Suddenly, a bright light radiated outwards, as a white shield appeared, repelling the fatal blow from Cang Ya.
At the next instant, a pillar of flame shot towards the sky, threatening to envelop Cang Ya.
That pillar of Devil Flame was incredibly destructive, burning even a Type 2 Mutant Beast, not to mention Cang Ya and his flesh and blood.
Cang Ya’s expression finally turned to one of horror as he activated his Second Order [Hurricane Manipulation], causing a hurricane to appear around him amidst screaming winds. It formed a huge wall and protected him.
As the Devil Flame landed on the barrier of wind, it was immediately deflected and blown away.
Under the cover his hurricane wall, Cang Ya looked at Yue Zhong and called out coldly: “Forcing me to use my trump card. Seems like you’re truly capable. Kill yourself! If you do so, I can leave you with an intact corpse.”
Cang Ya placed his hands behind his back, chuckling: “It’s useless!! The moment I activate this skill, I’m invincible.”
With a flash, the rocket shot towards Cang Ya.
The rocket flew to within a metre of Cang Ya and exploded, causing a huge shockwave to blast outwards, destroying the wall of defence.
Yue Zhong saw the rocket not damaging Cang Ya in the slightest and his heart sank, knowing that he had finally met a fearsome foe. He did not give up, instead letting out a long howl towards the skies.
“Calling for backup eh?! Shameless!! But, it’s useless, you’re still going to die.” Cang Ya heard that howl and his face fell, if he were surrounded, he would only be able to escape pathetically.
Cang Ya was filled with a powerful killing intent towards Yue Zhong, and he waved his hand, causing a huge blade of wind to be formed out from the hurricane swirling around him.
With that Second Order skill, instantly, over a hundred blades of wind surrounded Yue Zhong, sealing any possible routes of escape, before slashing towards him.
Cang Ya was floating in the sky within the eye of the storm, and as Yue Zhong dodged the majority of the blades, there were a few that still assaulted the white shield.
After enduring for 4 seconds, the white shield suddenly disintegrated, and Yue Zhong seized the opportunity to duck behind a building.

The surging power flowed out, enveloping his entire body.\nQi Channels.\nBones.\nThe internal organs.\nHe was bestowed with an astonishing amount of strength and power in all aspects.\nThe Divine Crown was corroded with time, after being damaged, the power in it was gradually diminishing, and was unable to sustain anymore, but, even with it’s current power, to Su Yun, it was already extremely powerful.\nBy relying on this gain in power, the Spirit Essences in Su Yun’s body seemed to be more refined, as circles after circles of traces started to appear around the Spirit Essences, releasing a mystical power, providing the power to the Spirit Essences, stabilizing the Qi that they produced.\nThe Spirit Essences in his body had grown stronger.\nSu Yun straightened his body, his entire body releasing a white beam that soared into the sky shooting straight through the clouds.\nSpirit Soul Realm!\nThe power of the Divine Crown instantly brought him over the last hurdle and entered the new realm.\nSu Yun opened up both of his hands, and could feel the new strength bestowed unto him, causing him to feel free and bright, it was as if he experienced rebirth. The number of Spirit Essence did not increase, but each of them had become extremely big, robust and strong, shocking him.\nHe raised his hand and gently clenched, only to see a large amount of restless Profound Spirit Qi dancing on his palm.\nEven with the draining of the surging force, even with the gradually weakening Heavenly Crystal, he did not feel weaker.\n“The remaining power of the Divine Crown has been transferred to you, but that cannot be compared to Master gifting his talent and all of his remaining power to your body. You have forever gained Master’s talent, and you can temporary use his power, to block the incoming Evil Lord Tang Lang!”\nCheng Xie weakly looked at Su Yun, and then he kneeled down, and kowtowed to Su Yun.\n“Human, please represent my Master and behead Evil Lord Tang Lang!!! Cheng Xie begs you!!”\nSu Yun looked at Cheng Xie, his eyes was blazing with a dark fire. He kept Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade, solely wielding the Death Sword. At that moment, he could feel the Death Sword stirring restlessly and glowing.\nIt had finished evolving, and couldn’t wait to test its power?\nSu Yun stared at the sword that was not out of its sheath, and killing intent soared from his heart.\nHua la! Just at that time, the shuttling bridge suddenly had a black light. The black light swept past, causing the bridge to immediately disappear. When it completely disappeared, a dark mist silhouette landed in front of them.\nThe cold jungle Qi was like a large cage the locked down the entire cluster cloud mountain, where the entire place was covered in ice. The temperature in the air was below freezing point, when the person appeared, it was like the entire cluster cloud mountain became his territory.\nIt was Evil Lord Tang Lang, and, when he saw Su Yun’s forehead with the black evil print, he lost it for a moment, following that he was full of rage: “Divine Crown! You actually consumed the Divine Crown? No!! NO!! THE Divine Crown had a much stronger usage, how could it be used by you!!”\n“As long as it’s in your hands, no matter how big it’s usage is, it would still be useless.”\nSu Yun stepped forward, the step surging with killing intent, his voice was ice cold, his Sword Qi strong.\nRage was burning in Evil Lord Tang Lang’s eyes, but after a while, he suddenly changed, and spoke: “You think that after you have obtained the legacy of Evil Emperor Xin Wu, you think you can fight me? Ke, Evil Emperor Xin Wu was beaten by me to the point where he was left with a single strand of his soul, and was powerless, how much can he bestow onto you? He only gave you a slight increase in Profound Spirit Qi, and gave you a stronger fleshly body. Today, not only you, even if he personally came and stood here, he is still but an ant to me! Stupid human, if I were you, I would immediately kneel down, and kowtow to me 9 times, and submit to me. That way, at least you can preserve your life.”\n“Submit to you? I have never even thought of that phrase before, stop talking, and just fight!”\nSu Yun growled, his entire body shifted, rushing towards Evil Lord Tan Lang.\nIn a moment, his body released graceful and gentle grey light, the grey light covered his entire body, filling him with incomparable power.\nThat was Evil Emperor Xin Wu’s last bit of power, maybe he could not hold on for long, but it was the last attack to his enemy!\nSu Yun made his move.\nThe Death Sword immediately unsheathed, and without hesitation, thrusted over. It was like an evil dragon swallowing everything in it’s wake.\nThe sword tip released a brilliant light that shot out towards Evil Lord Tan Lang and cut the trees and rocks behind him, while the evil mist around Evil Lord Tan Lang’s body was used up, exposing his true form.\n“Seeking death!!”\nEvil Lord Tan Lang was thoroughly enraged.\nThe ant got lucky and dared to offend him, how could he not be pissed off? His palms changed to claws, and clawed in front of him, forming out two gigantic Qi Claws in the air that pounced towards Su Yun.\nSu Yun reacted and dodged, the evil claws clawed the ground, causing the mountain top to tear apart.\nHe was not panicky, as he steadily walked forward, then suddenly rushed forward, sweeping the sword, causing a jet black sword image to slash towards Evil Lord Tan Lang.\nDang!\nThe sword image suddenly stopped, one look, and Evil Lord Tan Lang actually withstood the Sword Qi and the sharp tip aura, locking the sword body in place.\n“Ants will simply be ants, The power that Evil Emperor Xin Wu gave you is simply not strong enough to match me!”\nWith that, the Evil Lord released a palm that went straight towards Su Yun’s head, the sound of the palm erupted causing a ripple that soared out, causing the surrounding air to vibrate, as though the place was boiling.\nJust then, boundless pressure came out from the Death Sword, and in a moment it was inflicted on the Evil Lord’s body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably, and even the palm he released could no longer be used!\nA trace of Evil Qi was released, the Death Sword had shown it’s might.\nThe Sword Qi was like a minute black needle, it pierced into the Evil Lord’s body, then frantically sucked the Evil Profound Spirit Qi in his body!\n“What?”\nThe Evil Lord was surprised.\nThe Death Sword was able to absorb the power of the Spirit Star Realm! Was that the might it had obtained after evolving from absorbing Li Chong Tian’s power?\nAfter entering and absorbing, the black needle like substance interrupted and removed the Evil Lord’s flow of Qi, causing his insides to be in a mess, and unable to release any mystical techniques.\nIn the next second, Su Yun’s fist came out.\nThe Evil Lord immediately raised his hands to block, and the fist landed in his palms.\nBang!\nThe Evil Lord retreated a few steps, the dense brute force actually caused him to be unable to stand properly.\nSu Yun was currently in the Spirit Soul Realm, and after adding on the last power of Evil Emperor Xin Wu, it was unknown how much of an increase his power had grown, especially his body strength, it was inconceivable.\n“Seems like you have a few ways to do things.”\nEvil Lord Tan Lang had consecutively taken a few hits, and knew that he could not look down on Su Yun, so he hardened himself, and prepared for an all out battle.\nSu Yun rushed out again in a forceful manner, after the Death Sword came out from it’s sheath, it could no longer fly, but it’s dense Sword Qi and killing Qi was so strong that it caused people have difficulty breathing.\n“You overestimate yourself! This dirty ant!”\nEvil Lord Tan Lang shouted agitatedly, both of his hands swaying, causing a mysterious seal spiral to form between his claws, and then aimed it towards Su Yun.\nThe Evil Seal flew over, forming into a sinister and terrifying head, biting at Su Yun.\nSu Yun raised his sword and sliced down, but as the sword tip slashed, it actually went through the head, it was actually an ethereal form.\nHis eyes congealed, and anxiously dodged. The head clashed onto the boulder behind him, and actually could instantly cause the entire boulder to melt into blood.\n“Hahahahaha, that was just a fraction of my power! This time you will be unable to run!!”\nIf that technique came down, there most likely wouldn’t be any chance to escape.\n“Crown Dominates the land!”\nBut Su Yun suddenly shouted out, and the Evil Seal on his forehead lit up, following that, a jet black Evil Qi surged out, completely covering him and forming a cocoon.\nThe few gigantic Evil Seal heads all clashed onto the jet black cocoon, but they were unable to break the cocoon in half!\n“Is that the power of the Divine Crown?” Evil Lord Tan Lang was surprised, but his face became even more sinister.\n“That should had been mine!” He growled, he leaped over, then releasing 9981 palms, each and every palm was dense and powerful.\nThe jet black cocoon was struck by the evil palms constantly, causing the entire cluster cloud mountain to quake.\n“Fallen Leaves Sword technique!”\nDuring the time while Evil Lord Tan Lang was releasing his palms, Su Yun suddenly cut out of the cocoon by himself, holding the Death Sword and slashing forward, a huge burst of Evil Qi criss crossed, striking Tan Lang.\n“Such a low grade Sword Technique, and you still dare to use it on this lord! You’re simply seeking death!”\nTan Lang pointed with his finger, and a black light shot out towards Su Yun. Whatever the black light passed through, there would be eruptions.\nSu Yun saw the evil aura appearing, and even with facing such a technique, he did not dodge, but danced along with his sword technique and went forward.\nDong!\nThe black light struck his body, but he did not have any feeling. He directly went straight to Tan Lang, then suddenly releasing the Evil Qi, as rays after rays of Qi shot out.\n“Oh no!”\nEvil Lord Tan Lang’s face changed, and he anxiously retreated.\nAlthough his technique was strong, Tan Lang released it in the air, and had a large open weak spot. He thought Su Yun would defend, and never thought that he would take the chance and seize the flaw to attack.\nSou!\nLarge amounts of Qi penetrated through Tan Lang’s body, after that, a pitch black sword frantically spun.\n“Ah!”\nTan Lang cried out, he did not know what technique was it, but upon contact, he had slowed down by more than half.\nStorm Sword Technique.\nThe Death Sword used boundless, dense Evil Qi and travelled back and forth, like a gigantic evil dragon going through Tan Lang’s body. He wanted to dodge but was not in time, and his waist had a huge hole from the sword. His blood scattered everywhere, his current situation was extremely ugly.\nTan Lang retreated, his eyes were filled with frantic and hate, and stared ferociously at Su Yun.\n“No one had ever forced me to this state.”\nHe endured the pain in his body, and clenched his teeth to shout.\nSu Yun stopped moving, waving his hand, he grabbed hold of the Death Sword that flew back to him. The sword tip pointed straight at Tan Lang, as he walked over.\nEach step was filled with the intention to kill.\nOn that day, one person had to die between the two.\n“Fine! Fine! The games will stop here, I should use my true abilities now!”\nTan Lang gasped for breath, his voice sinister, his body suddenly fell, both hands supporting himself on the ground, the Evil Qi on his body started leaking, and his entire being started to transform.\nAowuuuuu! The wolf howl resonated out into the air, following that, Tan Lang’s entire body had transformed into the size of a small mountain, with Evil Qi surrounding his entire body. When it dissipated, a gigantic wolf had appeared!\nTan Lang’s body was extremely strong, his entire body had sharp hair, with evil red eyes, the Qi on his body was extremely astonishing.\nThe wolf power rippled out, causing all life on cluster cloud mountain to cover their heads and cower in fear, shivering with cold!\n“Humph!”\nSu Yun squinted his eyes, ignoring the might of the wolf, he directly jumped in to attack, with one sword leveled with his eye, he rushed over.\nThe gigantic Tan Lang released an ear piercing laughter, following that it’s gigantic wolf claws slashed past, so fast that it could not be seen, in a moment reaching near Su Yun’s head.\nThe black light on Su Yun’s finger flashed.\nClang! The entire place was in shambles due to the fight.\n“Ah?”\nCheng Xie looked up, and was dumbfounded.\nHe’s dead?"

第211章
宛如毒蛇吐信，邪气在那印记间盘动，这股躁动不安的气息似即将炸开的锅，根本抑制不住。 澎湃的邪力涌流而下，灌输于浑身各处。
气脉。
骨骼。
血管。
所过之处，皆赋以惊人的强度与力量。
神冠经岁月磨合，损坏后力量逐渐流逝，已存不下多少，但，即便只有当前这些，对于苏云而言这份力量也是至高无上的。
凭借着这些力量，苏云浑身灵眼仿佛得到升华一般，灵眼周边出现一圈又一圈透白的纹路，纹路释放着神奇的力量，滋润着灵眼，稳固着它对灵玄气息的产出。
灵眼愈发强大。
苏云直起了身，浑身爆出一道白光，冲天而起，直入云霄。
灵玄魂境界！
神冠的力量竟直接使之跃过这最后一道坎，一举踏入全新境界。
苏云张开双手，感受着这股全新的力量赐予自己的畅爽，只觉这一刻似已新生，灵眼的数量并未再增长，却一个个变得硕大，茁壮，让人感觉惊讶而不可思议。
他抬起手，轻轻一扣，便见大量澎湃躁动的灵玄气息在掌间溅舞。
澎湃的力量疯狂宣泄，就算此刻天擎之力逐渐消退，他也没有多少无力感。
“神冠会将剩下的力量给予给你，但这还不算...主人在消散前，将他仅有的天赋以及所有力量加持于你身上，你能永远的得到主人的天赋，并且暂时使用他这份力量，用来抵御即将到来的贪狼邪尊！”
成邪目光暗弱的望着苏云，随后双膝跪下，冲着苏云认真的磕了个头。
“人啊，请代表我主人，斩杀贪狼邪尊吧！ ！
苏云望着成邪，双瞳倏然燃起阵阵邪火，他收起千渊与蛟印，独握死剑，此时此刻，它能感受到死剑的躁动与炽热。
它已经进化完成，迫不及待的想要试剑吗？
苏云凝视着那未出鞘的剑，心中腾起阵阵杀意。
这时，穿梭桥倏然掠过一道黑光，黑光经过，穿梭桥也立刻消散，待穿梭桥彻底消散时，一道宣泄着漫天黑雾的身影落在了面前。
阴冷森邪的气场如一个大罩子覆盖了整个云丛山，大地凝结起层层冰霜，空气中的温度下降到一个极点，似乎随着那人的出现，整个云丛山已经成为了他的地盘。
来人正是贪狼邪尊，然而，当他看到苏云额头上那动荡着的黑色邪印时，神情瞬间一愕，接着便是满满的愤怒：“神冠！ 神冠竟被你消耗掉了？
“只要在你手中，即便它又天大的用途也无用。”
苏云踏步走去，踏出步步杀意，声音冰冷，剑意浓烈。
贪狼邪尊眼里怒火燃烧，但片刻后，他露出一丝恍然，冷言道：“你以为你得了心武邪皇的传承，就能与我抗衡？ 呵，心武邪皇被我打的只剩下一魂一魄，已无多少力量，他能传承给你多少实力？
“臣服？ 我从未想过这个词，莫要多说，战便是了！”
苏云一记低喝，倏然身形一动，朝贪狼邪尊冲去。
这一瞬，他那身躯溢出阵阵轻盈灰光，灰光覆盖于他的浑身上下，鼓噪着绝伦无双的力量。
这是心武邪皇最后的一份力量，也许持续不了多久，但它却是心武邪皇对敌人最后的反击！
苏云出手了。
死剑瞬出剑鞘，没有丝毫保留，这一剑刺去，便如咆哮的邪龙，卷起千万邪力。
那剑锋上爆发的煌煌剑威将贪狼邪尊身后的草木枯石割碎，而贪狼邪尊周身的邪雾更是被之荡尽，露出本来模样。
“找死！
！”
贪狼邪尊瞬时大怒。 这般蝼蚁得了些气运便敢得罪他，岂能不让他恼怒？ 当即邪尊双掌成爪，凌空一爪，天空瞬落两道巨大的气爪，撕向苏云。
苏云身形一晃，闪避过去，邪爪落地，将山头撕开。
他未露惊慌，步伐稳健，踏步冲去，邪剑扫动，一道漆黑的剑影掠向贪狼邪尊。
铛！
剑影骤止，一看，贪狼邪尊竟生生顶住剑意与锋芒，将剑身死死抓住。
“蝼蚁就是蝼蚁，心武邪皇给予你的力量根本不足以与我抗衡！
！” 音落，邪尊一掌直朝苏云的脑袋劈了过来，掌风爆发的波动将四周的空气震动的宛如煮沸开水。
这时，一股磅礴的剑压从死剑身内迸发出来，瞬间作用在邪尊的身体上，令他身躯猛然一颤，轰向苏云的手掌再也扬不过去！
一丝邪气溅荡，死剑发威了。
这邪气如一根细微的黑针，刺入邪尊体内，随后疯狂吸允着邪尊体内的邪灵气息！
“什么？”
邪尊大惊失色。
死剑竟能汲取灵玄阳级别存在的力量！ 这便是它消化了离重天部分力量进化后的威力吗？
这根黑针般的物质刺入后，因汲取缘故，也扰乱了邪尊体内的气息流走，邪尊体内大乱，招式难以蓄积。
下一秒，苏云一拳已经轰了过来。
邪尊立刻抬起双手抵挡，拳轰掌心。
嘭！
邪尊连连后退，厚悍的劲力竟将他震得难以站稳。
苏云如今已是灵玄魂境界，在心武邪皇最后力量的加成下，实力也不知暴增到了什么地步，尤其是劲力，更是大的让人难以想象。
“看样子你有点门道。”
贪狼邪尊接连吃了暗亏，知道不能小瞧苏云，便收起了轻心，全力备战。
苏云再冲，咄咄逼人，死剑出鞘后，没有子剑飞舞，但厚悍的剑意与杀气强的让人喘不过气来。 “太瞧不起人了！
你这肮脏的蝼蚁！”
贪狼邪尊勃然大怒，双手虚空晃动，一圈玄奥的邪印在爪间盘旋，随后齐朝苏云打来。
邪印飞来，临空化为一只只狰狞可怖的人头，咬向苏云。
苏云举剑便劈，但剑锋杀去，竟直接穿透这些人头，难以将之命中。
他眼神一凝，急急避开，人头撞在身后的大石上，竟然直接将大石以及大石后的那一片地融成了血水。
“哈哈哈哈，那些只是零头！ 这一次让你无处可躲！ ！”
这一招过去，只怕是连躲的机会都没有。
“冠绝天下！”
但听苏云低呼一声，额头上的邪印倏然闪烁开来，接着，一圈漆黑的邪气喷涌而出，将之彻底笼罩，化为了一道蚕茧。
那些能够融化大地的邪印人头，撞在这个漆黑的蚕茧上，竟难以破坏这个蚕茧半分！
“这是神冠力量？” 贪狼邪尊恍然，接着面色狰狞。
他低吼一声，纵身跃去，临空劈下九九八十一掌，掌掌厚悍，恐怖如斯。
漆黑蚕茧被这些邪掌轰的隆隆作响，整个云丛山都下陷了数分。
“落叶剑法！”
趁贪狼邪尊手掌之际，苏云倏然撤掉包裹着自己的蚕茧，扣着死剑杀出，大量邪气纵横，笼向贪狼邪尊。
“如此低劣的剑法也敢在本尊面前班门弄斧！ 找死！”
贪狼邪尊手指一点，一道黑光射向苏云，黑光所过之处，是一阵噼里啪啦的爆炸声。
然，苏云这回眼中邪芒闪现，面对这一招竟不闪避，舞着剑法杀了过去。
咚！
黑光打在他的身上，他却没有半分感觉，人直接贴近了贪狼邪尊，接着邪气释放，道道丝线般的气质轨迹运作。
“糟糕！”
贪狼邪尊脸色聚变，急急后退。
这一招虽强，但贪狼邪尊凌空释放，破绽大开，他本以为苏云还会一味的防御，可没想到他竟捕捉到自己的破绽，顶着这一招杀来。
嗖！
大量气之轨迹贯穿了贪狼邪尊的身躯，随后，一把漆黑的利剑沿着这轨迹疯狂旋转。
“啊！”
贪狼邪尊疯狂的叫喊，也不知催动了什么招法，竭力后撤，但他速度却慢了半拍。
暴风剑法！
死剑卷荡着无尽厚悍的邪气疯狂穿梭，犹如一条巨大的邪龙贯穿于贪狼邪尊的身躯，他虽闪避，却不及时，腰间被穿出一个巨大的洞，邪血撒了一地，模样狼狈不堪。
贪狼邪尊急急后退，一双邪眼充斥着疯狂与狠毒，凶恶的盯着苏云。
“没有人能够把我逼到这种地步。”
他忍着浑身的伤痛，咬牙切齿的喊道。
苏云止住身形，手一挥，握住飞回来的死剑，剑锋朝下倾斜，踏步走向贪狼邪尊。
步步依旧充斥着杀机。
今时今日，二人必是不死不休。
好！ 游戏到此为止，我也该使出真本领了！”
贪狼邪尊狠狠的喘着气，声音狰狞，身躯倏然一倒，双手一撑，支着地面，浑身邪气宣泄，整个人变化起来。
狼呜声响荡于天地之间，接着，贪狼邪尊整个身躯变化成小山那般庞大，满满的邪气笼罩着他的身躯，待邪气散掉数分后，一只巨大的贪狼出现！
贪狼身躯强健，浑身是犹如尖刺般的毛发，一双邪眼通红，浑身气息惊人。
狼威荡漾，整个云丛山的生灵无不抱头匍匐，瑟瑟发抖！
“哼！”
苏云沉了双眼，无视狼威，直接踏步狂冲，一剑直平，杀将过去。
却见苏云手指黑光一闪。
哐当！
其身整个被拍打成碎片。
“啊？”
那头的成邪看到，瞬间傻眼了。
死了？

Chapter 211
Si si si. Like a viper’s spit, the Evil Qi surged everywhere, the restless and unstable Qi was on the verge of exploding, and was uncontrollable. The surging power flowed out, enveloping his entire body.
Qi Channels.
Bones.
The internal organs.
He was bestowed with an astonishing amount of strength and power in all aspects.
The Divine Crown was corroded with time, after being damaged, the power in it was gradually diminishing, and was unable to sustain anymore, but, even with it’s current power, to Su Yun, it was already extremely powerful.
By relying on this gain in power, the Spirit Essences in Su Yun’s body seemed to be more refined, as circles after circles of traces started to appear around the Spirit Essences, releasing a mystical power, providing the power to the Spirit Essences, stabilizing the Qi that they produced.
The Spirit Essences in his body had grown stronger.
Su Yun straightened his body, his entire body releasing a white beam that soared into the sky shooting straight through the clouds.
Spirit Soul Realm!
The power of the Divine Crown instantly brought him over the last hurdle and entered the new realm.
Su Yun opened up both of his hands, and could feel the new strength bestowed unto him, causing him to feel free and bright, it was as if he experienced rebirth. The number of Spirit Essence did not increase, but each of them had become extremely big, robust and strong, shocking him.
He raised his hand and gently clenched, only to see a large amount of restless Profound Spirit Qi dancing on his palm.
Even with the draining of the surging force, even with the gradually weakening Heavenly Crystal, he did not feel weaker.
“The remaining power of the Divine Crown has been transferred to you, but that cannot be compared to Master gifting his talent and all of his remaining power to your body. You have forever gained Master’s talent, and you can temporary use his power, to block the incoming Evil Lord Tang Lang!”
Cheng Xie weakly looked at Su Yun, and then he kneeled down, and kowtowed to Su Yun.
“Human, please represent my Master and behead Evil Lord Tang Lang!!! Cheng Xie begs you!!”
Su Yun looked at Cheng Xie, his eyes was blazing with a dark fire. He kept Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade, solely wielding the Death Sword. At that moment, he could feel the Death Sword stirring restlessly and glowing.
It had finished evolving, and couldn’t wait to test its power?
Su Yun stared at the sword that was not out of its sheath, and killing intent soared from his heart.
Hua la! Just at that time, the shuttling bridge suddenly had a black light. The black light swept past, causing the bridge to immediately disappear. When it completely disappeared, a dark mist silhouette landed in front of them.
The cold jungle Qi was like a large cage the locked down the entire cluster cloud mountain, where the entire place was covered in ice. The temperature in the air was below freezing point, when the person appeared, it was like the entire cluster cloud mountain became his territory.
It was Evil Lord Tang Lang, and, when he saw Su Yun’s forehead with the black evil print, he lost it for a moment, following that he was full of rage: “Divine Crown! You actually consumed the Divine Crown? No!! NO!! THE Divine Crown had a much stronger usage, how could it be used by you!!”
“As long as it’s in your hands, no matter how big it’s usage is, it would still be useless.”
Su Yun stepped forward, the step surging with killing intent, his voice was ice cold, his Sword Qi strong.
Rage was burning in Evil Lord Tang Lang’s eyes, but after a while, he suddenly changed, and spoke: “You think that after you have obtained the legacy of Evil Emperor Xin Wu, you think you can fight me? Ke, Evil Emperor Xin Wu was beaten by me to the point where he was left with a single strand of his soul, and was powerless, how much can he bestow onto you? He only gave you a slight increase in Profound Spirit Qi, and gave you a stronger fleshly body. Today, not only you, even if he personally came and stood here, he is still but an ant to me! Stupid human, if I were you, I would immediately kneel down, and kowtow to me 9 times, and submit to me. That way, at least you can preserve your life.”
“Submit to you? I have never even thought of that phrase before, stop talking, and just fight!”
Su Yun growled, his entire body shifted, rushing towards Evil Lord Tan Lang.
In a moment, his body released graceful and gentle grey light, the grey light covered his entire body, filling him with incomparable power.
That was Evil Emperor Xin Wu’s last bit of power, maybe he could not hold on for long, but it was the last attack to his enemy!
Su Yun made his move.
The Death Sword immediately unsheathed, and without hesitation, thrusted over. It was like an evil dragon swallowing everything in it’s wake.
The sword tip released a brilliant light that shot out towards Evil Lord Tan Lang and cut the trees and rocks behind him, while the evil mist around Evil Lord Tan Lang’s body was used up, exposing his true form.
“Seeking death!!”
Evil Lord Tan Lang was thoroughly enraged.
The ant got lucky and dared to offend him, how could he not be pissed off? His palms changed to claws, and clawed in front of him, forming out two gigantic Qi Claws in the air that pounced towards Su Yun.
Su Yun reacted and dodged, the evil claws clawed the ground, causing the mountain top to tear apart.
He was not panicky, as he steadily walked forward, then suddenly rushed forward, sweeping the sword, causing a jet black sword image to slash towards Evil Lord Tan Lang.
Dang!
The sword image suddenly stopped, one look, and Evil Lord Tan Lang actually withstood the Sword Qi and the sharp tip aura, locking the sword body in place.
“Ants will simply be ants, The power that Evil Emperor Xin Wu gave you is simply not strong enough to match me!”
With that, the Evil Lord released a palm that went straight towards Su Yun’s head, the sound of the palm erupted causing a ripple that soared out, causing the surrounding air to vibrate, as though the place was boiling.
Just then, boundless pressure came out from the Death Sword, and in a moment it was inflicted on the Evil Lord’s body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably, and even the palm he released could no longer be used!
A trace of Evil Qi was released, the Death Sword had shown it’s might.
The Sword Qi was like a minute black needle, it pierced into the Evil Lord’s body, then frantically sucked the Evil Profound Spirit Qi in his body!
“What?”
The Evil Lord was surprised.
The Death Sword was able to absorb the power of the Spirit Star Realm! Was that the might it had obtained after evolving from absorbing Li Chong Tian’s power?
After entering and absorbing, the black needle like substance interrupted and removed the Evil Lord’s flow of Qi, causing his insides to be in a mess, and unable to release any mystical techniques.
In the next second, Su Yun’s fist came out.
The Evil Lord immediately raised his hands to block, and the fist landed in his palms.
Bang!
The Evil Lord retreated a few steps, the dense brute force actually caused him to be unable to stand properly.
Su Yun was currently in the Spirit Soul Realm, and after adding on the last power of Evil Emperor Xin Wu, it was unknown how much of an increase his power had grown, especially his body strength, it was inconceivable.
“Seems like you have a few ways to do things.”
Evil Lord Tan Lang had consecutively taken a few hits, and knew that he could not look down on Su Yun, so he hardened himself, and prepared for an all out battle.
Su Yun rushed out again in a forceful manner, after the Death Sword came out from it’s sheath, it could no longer fly, but it’s dense Sword Qi and killing Qi was so strong that it caused people have difficulty breathing.
“You overestimate yourself! This dirty ant!”
Evil Lord Tan Lang shouted agitatedly, both of his hands swaying, causing a mysterious seal spiral to form between his claws, and then aimed it towards Su Yun.
The Evil Seal flew over, forming into a sinister and terrifying head, biting at Su Yun.
Su Yun raised his sword and sliced down, but as the sword tip slashed, it actually went through the head, it was actually an ethereal form.
His eyes congealed, and anxiously dodged. The head clashed onto the boulder behind him, and actually could instantly cause the entire boulder to melt into blood.
“Hahahahaha, that was just a fraction of my power! This time you will be unable to run!!”
If that technique came down, there most likely wouldn’t be any chance to escape.
“Crown Dominates the land!”
But Su Yun suddenly shouted out, and the Evil Seal on his forehead lit up, following that, a jet black Evil Qi surged out, completely covering him and forming a cocoon.
The few gigantic Evil Seal heads all clashed onto the jet black cocoon, but they were unable to break the cocoon in half!
“Is that the power of the Divine Crown?” Evil Lord Tan Lang was surprised, but his face became even more sinister.
“That should had been mine!” He growled, he leaped over, then releasing 9981 palms, each and every palm was dense and powerful.
The jet black cocoon was struck by the evil palms constantly, causing the entire cluster cloud mountain to quake.
“Fallen Leaves Sword technique!”
During the time while Evil Lord Tan Lang was releasing his palms, Su Yun suddenly cut out of the cocoon by himself, holding the Death Sword and slashing forward, a huge burst of Evil Qi criss crossed, striking Tan Lang.
“Such a low grade Sword Technique, and you still dare to use it on this lord! You’re simply seeking death!”
Tan Lang pointed with his finger, and a black light shot out towards Su Yun. Whatever the black light passed through, there would be eruptions.
Su Yun saw the evil aura appearing, and even with facing such a technique, he did not dodge, but danced along with his sword technique and went forward.
Dong!
The black light struck his body, but he did not have any feeling. He directly went straight to Tan Lang, then suddenly releasing the Evil Qi, as rays after rays of Qi shot out.
“Oh no!”
Evil Lord Tan Lang’s face changed, and he anxiously retreated.
Although his technique was strong, Tan Lang released it in the air, and had a large open weak spot. He thought Su Yun would defend, and never thought that he would take the chance and seize the flaw to attack.
Sou!
Large amounts of Qi penetrated through Tan Lang’s body, after that, a pitch black sword frantically spun.
“Ah!”
Tan Lang cried out, he did not know what technique was it, but upon contact, he had slowed down by more than half.
Storm Sword Technique.
The Death Sword used boundless, dense Evil Qi and travelled back and forth, like a gigantic evil dragon going through Tan Lang’s body. He wanted to dodge but was not in time, and his waist had a huge hole from the sword. His blood scattered everywhere, his current situation was extremely ugly.
Tan Lang retreated, his eyes were filled with frantic and hate, and stared ferociously at Su Yun.
“No one had ever forced me to this state.”
He endured the pain in his body, and clenched his teeth to shout.
Su Yun stopped moving, waving his hand, he grabbed hold of the Death Sword that flew back to him. The sword tip pointed straight at Tan Lang, as he walked over.
Each step was filled with the intention to kill.
On that day, one person had to die between the two.
“Fine! Fine! The games will stop here, I should use my true abilities now!”
Tan Lang gasped for breath, his voice sinister, his body suddenly fell, both hands supporting himself on the ground, the Evil Qi on his body started leaking, and his entire being started to transform.
Aowuuuuu! The wolf howl resonated out into the air, following that, Tan Lang’s entire body had transformed into the size of a small mountain, with Evil Qi surrounding his entire body. When it dissipated, a gigantic wolf had appeared!
Tan Lang’s body was extremely strong, his entire body had sharp hair, with evil red eyes, the Qi on his body was extremely astonishing.
The wolf power rippled out, causing all life on cluster cloud mountain to cover their heads and cower in fear, shivering with cold!
“Humph!”
Su Yun squinted his eyes, ignoring the might of the wolf, he directly jumped in to attack, with one sword leveled with his eye, he rushed over.
The gigantic Tan Lang released an ear piercing laughter, following that it’s gigantic wolf claws slashed past, so fast that it could not be seen, in a moment reaching near Su Yun’s head.
The black light on Su Yun’s finger flashed.
Clang! The entire place was in shambles due to the fight.
“Ah?”
Cheng Xie looked up, and was dumbfounded.
He’s dead?

Come, men. Take down these two people concocting a sinister plot for me, and await disposal!” the tiger clan member said with a cold smile.\nIn his view, this Xiong Zhan fabricating a dragon lord definitely had malicious motives.\nRight then, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “You see. I said that I wasn’t the Dragon Lord, right. But you just didn’t believe. Now, we’ve made a fool out of ourselves, right?”\nWhen Ye Yuan said these words, the tiger clan member naturally felt that he was weaseling his way out.\nWicked plot failed to prevail, so he wanted to use such a method to escape. How could it be that easy?\nthinking of going back on your words now? Too late!” The tiger clan member’s expression changed as he extended his hand like capturing Ye Yuan away.\nYe Yuan’s brows furrowed. The dragon pressure in his body erupted out abruptly.\nBang!\nYe Yuan’s palm directly sent that tiger clan member flying.\nThis tiger was an initial-stage Tier 5 who originally thought that taking down Ye Yuan, wasn’t it still easily done?\nBut who knew that Ye Yuan actually defeated him in one move.\nVery clearly, Ye Yuan did not wish to blow the matter up and already pulled his punches.\nYe Yuan’s attack was not heavy. The injuries on this tiger’s body were not severe. It was just that the dragon pressure Ye Yuan emitted made him greatly astonished.\nThis dragon pressure was extremely pure. What was this if not orthodox dragon race bloodline?\nThis . . . How could there be two dragon lords showing up?\n“Who is it? To actually dare act wildly in my Darkfiend Tiger Clan!” The commotion here finally attracted quite a number of tiger clan members. A youth took the lead and came forward to rebuke.\nYe Yuan said coolly, “We came to deliver news out of goodwill, and your tiger clan wants to capture people right away. Is this your way of treating guests?”\nHuman?” said that youth in surprise.\n“Young Lord Hu Xiao, this person possess extremely pure dragon blood. Just now, he even . . . called himself a dragon lord!” That tiger who was beaten down by Ye Yuan already recovered at this time and came forward to clarify the situation.\nThis youth was actually the Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s Young Lord!\nHearing his clansman say so, Hu Xiao’s brows raised up, and he said with a mocking laugh, “Dragon Lord? What a joke!”\nYe Yuan took a look at Hu Xiao and said coolly, “Young Lord Hu Xiao, is it? It’s just a misunderstanding! I possess dragon blood and gave birth to a reverse scale. Previously, I was forced to impersonate as the dragon lord and fought a great battle with Peng Yun. That’s why Senior Xiong Zhan would be mistaken about me.”\n“You exchanged blows with Peng Yun? Haha!\nWhat a colossal joke! How could your bit of strength possibly be Peng Yun’s match?”\nHu Xiao seemed to have heard some hilarious joke. Ye Yuan was merely just middle-stage Tier 4. How could he possibly be Peng Yun’s match?\nWhen boasting, one needed to boast something a bit more believable too!\nXiong Zhan did not speak the entire time. But hearing Hu Xiao be so contemptuous towards Ye Yuan at this time, he was displeased.\n“Young Lord Hu Xiao, this matter is absolutely true! My entire Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan can bear witness for him! If not for Ye Yuan, my Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan would have been fully exterminated already! Old Xiong, I, came here today in order to report this matter to Lord Hu Rong. Didn’t expect that I was actually taken to have ulterior motives!\nHumph!\nYe Yuan, let’s go! Didn’t think that after my bear clan resisted foreign enemies with a will to die, what it exchanged for was such a result! Lord Hu Yan had no news for many years. Looks like the Darkfiend Tiger Clan has really gone sour!”\nThe tiger clan’s attitude also deeply hurt Xiong Zhan’s heart, making him, a high elder, feel bitterly disappointed.\nRecalling back then when Lord Hu Yan was around, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan quashed the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan until they could not even lift their heads.\nXiong Zhan did not bother with Hu Xiao either, turning right around and left.\nXiong Zhan was, at any rate, a Tier 6 expert. There were really not many people able to stop him.\nRight then, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Xiong Zhan since who knows when and blocked his path.\n“Younger Brother Xiong Zhan, don’t get angry. Young people are insensible. Don’t haggle about it with them! You’re my Darkfiend Tiger Clan domain’s high elder. Anyone might have ulterior motives, but you won’t even have any,” the person said to Xiong Zhan with a smile, like old friends catching up.\nWhen Xiong Zhan saw the arrival, his eyes involuntarily reddened as he said, “Lord . . . Hu Rong, long . . . long time no see!”\n“Sigh . . . yes, really long time no see!”\nInside the clan, when Hu Rong heard Xiong Zhan’s battle report, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan deeply.\nHe was seriously unable to imagine how this Tier 4 youth before his eyes accomplished to this step.\nXiong Zhan’s words sounded just like talking about a book from the heaven; there was no proof whatsoever.\nIn the middle of a bunch of Tier 5 and Tier 6 experts, a Tier 4 youth led the battle situation, making use of another person’s hands to kill a Tier 6 expert and severely injuring Peng Yun.\nThis series of events sounded somewhat preposterous no matter what!\nWhen Xiong Zhan finished talking, Hu Rong nodded his head and said, “Turns out that in-between this, so many things actually happened! Younger Brother Xiong Zhan has worked hard. It’s getting late today. You and this little brother rest in the clan first. I’ll reward the two of you tomorrow with a feast tomorrow.”\nXiong Zhan was not a fool and naturally could tell that Hu Rong did not believe the words he said.\nBut Xiong Zhan also knew that all of this that he said was seriously somewhat too fantastical to imagine. Listening to it really seemed like weaving a story.\nIf he did not see with his own eyes but was relayed to him by other people, he definitely would not believe it.\nXiong Zhan nodded his head and turned around and left with Ye Yuan.\nAfter the two left, Hu Rong suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Xiao-er, how much of Xiong Zhan’s words do you think can be trusted?”\nHu Xiao scurried out from inside and shook his head and said, “This child feels that there isn’t an iota of credibility! That Ye Yuan only has Tier 4 strength. Even if he really had the ability to cross boundaries to battle, how could he possibly defeat Peng Yun? Furthermore, what the roc clan is most proficient in is speed. To let a Tier 4 martial artist go and compete in speed with a late-stage Tier 5 Peng Yun . . . isn’t this a joke?”\nHu Rong nodded his head, but he did not comment anything. He then asked, “Is the person sent out already?”\nHu Xiao nodded and said, “Already sent out. But the quickest most likely also needs three to four days’ time before it can be thoroughly investigated.”\nXiong Zhan is our Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s elder. Back then, he received Big Brother’s great grace. Presumably, he won’t betray the tiger clan. Rather, that youth has unclear origins. There’s no choice but to guard against him! If there’s really any problem, it’s almost certain to have been planned by that youth.\n. . . If Big Brother could take a turn for the better, we wouldn’t be at an extent of quaking in our boots these few years either, akin to treading on thin ice!” Hu Rong said.\n“Sigh . . . That’s also something that can’t be helped.” Hu Xiao followed up with a sigh. Suddenly, his eyeballs swiveled around, and he moved closer to Hu Rong and said, “Uncle Rong, why not send somebody to go and test that boy a bit? Whether he’s really capable or bragging, wouldn’t it be out with a probe?”\n“You’re saying . . .”\n“Didn’t that boy claim to be the Dragon Lord? Then let’s make the real Dragon Lord exchange blows with him and see who’s the real Dragon Lord!” Hu Xiao felt that this idea was pretty good and said proudly.\nHu Rong’s eyes lit up, and he said, “This idea is not bad! The Dragon Lord’s identity is extraordinary. Once he knows that somebody impersonated him, he probably won’t tolerate the other party’s existence!”"

659.第659章
“那就奇怪了，龙主明明正在我虎族之内做客，怎么又凭空多出一个龙主来了？ 来人，给我把这图谋不轨的两人拿下，等候处置！”
在他看来，这熊战捏造一个龙主出来，肯定是图谋不轨。
这时，叶远却是耸耸肩道：“你看，我就说我不是龙主吧，你偏不信。 现在，闹出笑话了吧？”
叶远这话说出来，虎族之人自然是觉得在狡辩。
奸计没有得逞，就想用这种方法来逃离，哪有那么容易？
“嘿，现在想反悔了么？ 迟了！”
叶远眉头一皱，身上的龙威猛然爆发开来。
“砰！”
叶远一掌直接将那虎族之人打飞了。
这虎族是个五阶初期，本以为拿下叶远还不是手到擒来？
可谁知道，叶远竟然一招就将他打败了。
很明显，叶远是不想事情闹大，已经手下留情了。
叶远出手不重，这虎族身上的伤势倒不重，只是叶远散发出来的龙威，却是让他大为诧异。
这龙威极为纯正，不是正统的龙族血脉又是什么？
这……怎么会有两位龙主出现？
“什么人，竟敢在我暗魔虎一族撒野！” 这边的动静终究是吸引了不少虎族之人，一个年轻人当先站出来呵斥道。
叶远淡淡道：“我们好心来报信，你们虎族上来就要抓人，这就是待客之道么？”
“嗯？ 人类？”
那年轻人诧异道。 “虎啸少主，此人身负极为纯正的龙血，刚才还……自称龙主！”
这年轻人，竟然是暗魔虎一族的少主！
听族人这么一说，虎啸眉毛一扬，哂笑道：“龙主？ 开什么玩笑！”
不过是一场误会！ 我身负龙血，又生出逆鳞，之前逼不得已冒充龙主和鹏云大战了一场，所以熊战前辈才会误会于我。”
“你跟鹏云交过手？
哈哈，真是天大的笑话！ 你这点实力，怎么可能是鹏云的对手？”
虎啸像是听了什么好笑的笑话，叶远不过才四阶中期，怎么可能是鹏云的对手？
吹牛，也要吹的像一点！
熊战一直没有说话，此时听到虎啸对叶远如此轻蔑，却是不爽了。
“虎啸少主，此事千真万确！ 我整个火源真罡熊一族都可以为他作证！ 如果不是叶远，我火源真罡熊一族已经全灭了！
哼！ 叶远，我们走！
想不到我熊族以死志抵御外敌，换来的就是这般结果！ 虎炎大人多年没有消息，看来暗魔虎一族真的变味了！”
虎族的态度也深深刺伤了熊战的心，让他这个元老都觉得心寒了。
想当年虎炎大人在的时候，暗魔虎一族压得千山大鹏一族头都抬不起来。
熊战也不理会虎啸，直接转身就走。
熊战好歹是六阶强者，能拦住他的人还真不多。
就在这时，一个中年人不知什么时候出现在熊战面前，挡住了他的去路。
“熊战老弟莫生气，年轻人不懂事，你就不要跟他们计较了！ 你是我暗魔虎领地的元老，谁别有用心你也不会别有用心的。” 来人笑着对熊战说道，像是老朋友叙旧一样。
熊战见到来人，不由眼眶一红道：“虎戎……大人，好久……好久不见了！”
虎戎微微一叹道：“唉……是啊，真的好久不见了！”
族内，虎戎听了熊战的情报，不由深深地看向了叶远。
他实在无法想象，眼前这个四阶的少年，是怎么做到这一步的。
熊战的话听起来，就像是在说天书一般，根本就没有可信度。
在一堆五阶六阶强者中间，一个四阶少年主导了战局，假借他人之手杀死了一名六阶强者，重伤鹏云。
这一系列的事件听起来，怎么都有些荒谬！
熊战说完，虎戎点点头道：“原来这中间，竟然发生了这么多事！ 熊战老弟辛苦了，今日天色已晚，你和这位小兄弟先在族中休息，我明日再好好犒劳一下二位。”
熊战不是傻子，自然看出来虎戎不相信自己说的话。
不过熊战也知道，他说的这一切实在是有些匪夷所思，听起来倒真是像在编故事一般。
如果不是亲眼所见，而是别人转述给他知道，他一定不会相信。
熊战点点头，转身和叶远离开了。
待二人走后，虎戎忽然开口道：“啸儿，你觉得熊战的话，有几分可信度？”
虎啸从里间转出，摇头道：“孩儿觉得一分可信度也没有！ 那叶远只有四阶的实力，即便真有越阶战斗的能力，又怎么可能战胜鹏云？ 而且鹏族最擅长的就是速度，让一名四阶武者去和五阶后期的鹏云比拼速度……这不是开玩笑么？”
虎戎点点头，却是没有置评，而是问道：“人已经派出去了吗？”
虎啸点头道：“已经派出去了，不过最快恐怕也要三四天的时间才能查清。”
“嗯，熊战是我们暗魔虎一族的元老，当年受过大哥的大恩，想来是不会背叛虎族的。 倒是那个年轻人来路不明，不得不防！
如果真有什么问题的话，十有八九都是那个年轻人蛊惑的。 唉……如果大哥能够有所好转，我们这些年也不至于战战兢兢，如履薄冰啊！”
虎戎道。
“唉……这也是没办法的事情。”
“那小子不是号称自己是龙主吗？ 那咱们就让真正的龙主和他过过招，看看谁才是真龙主！” 虎啸觉得这个办法相当好，得意道。
虎戎眼前一亮，道：“这个办法不错！ 龙主的身份非同一般，一旦知道有人冒充自己，恐怕不会容忍对方的存在！”

Chapter 659 - Tiger Clan's Call into Question
“Then that’s strange. The Dragon Lord is clearly a guest inside my tiger clan currently. Why would another Dragon Lord appear out of thin air? Come, men. Take down these two people concocting a sinister plot for me, and await disposal!” the tiger clan member said with a cold smile.
In his view, this Xiong Zhan fabricating a dragon lord definitely had malicious motives.
Right then, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “You see. I said that I wasn’t the Dragon Lord, right. But you just didn’t believe. Now, we’ve made a fool out of ourselves, right?”
When Ye Yuan said these words, the tiger clan member naturally felt that he was weaseling his way out.
Wicked plot failed to prevail, so he wanted to use such a method to escape. How could it be that easy?
thinking of going back on your words now? Too late!” The tiger clan member’s expression changed as he extended his hand like capturing Ye Yuan away.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed. The dragon pressure in his body erupted out abruptly.
Bang!
Ye Yuan’s palm directly sent that tiger clan member flying.
This tiger was an initial-stage Tier 5 who originally thought that taking down Ye Yuan, wasn’t it still easily done?
But who knew that Ye Yuan actually defeated him in one move.
Very clearly, Ye Yuan did not wish to blow the matter up and already pulled his punches.
Ye Yuan’s attack was not heavy. The injuries on this tiger’s body were not severe. It was just that the dragon pressure Ye Yuan emitted made him greatly astonished.
This dragon pressure was extremely pure. What was this if not orthodox dragon race bloodline?
This . . . How could there be two dragon lords showing up?
“Who is it? To actually dare act wildly in my Darkfiend Tiger Clan!” The commotion here finally attracted quite a number of tiger clan members. A youth took the lead and came forward to rebuke.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “We came to deliver news out of goodwill, and your tiger clan wants to capture people right away. Is this your way of treating guests?”
Human?” said that youth in surprise.
“Young Lord Hu Xiao, this person possess extremely pure dragon blood. Just now, he even . . . called himself a dragon lord!” That tiger who was beaten down by Ye Yuan already recovered at this time and came forward to clarify the situation.
This youth was actually the Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s Young Lord!
Hearing his clansman say so, Hu Xiao’s brows raised up, and he said with a mocking laugh, “Dragon Lord? What a joke!”
Ye Yuan took a look at Hu Xiao and said coolly, “Young Lord Hu Xiao, is it? It’s just a misunderstanding! I possess dragon blood and gave birth to a reverse scale. Previously, I was forced to impersonate as the dragon lord and fought a great battle with Peng Yun. That’s why Senior Xiong Zhan would be mistaken about me.”
“You exchanged blows with Peng Yun? Haha!
What a colossal joke! How could your bit of strength possibly be Peng Yun’s match?”
Hu Xiao seemed to have heard some hilarious joke. Ye Yuan was merely just middle-stage Tier 4. How could he possibly be Peng Yun’s match?
When boasting, one needed to boast something a bit more believable too!
Xiong Zhan did not speak the entire time. But hearing Hu Xiao be so contemptuous towards Ye Yuan at this time, he was displeased.
“Young Lord Hu Xiao, this matter is absolutely true! My entire Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan can bear witness for him! If not for Ye Yuan, my Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan would have been fully exterminated already! Old Xiong, I, came here today in order to report this matter to Lord Hu Rong. Didn’t expect that I was actually taken to have ulterior motives!
Humph!
Ye Yuan, let’s go! Didn’t think that after my bear clan resisted foreign enemies with a will to die, what it exchanged for was such a result! Lord Hu Yan had no news for many years. Looks like the Darkfiend Tiger Clan has really gone sour!”
The tiger clan’s attitude also deeply hurt Xiong Zhan’s heart, making him, a high elder, feel bitterly disappointed.
Recalling back then when Lord Hu Yan was around, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan quashed the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan until they could not even lift their heads.
Xiong Zhan did not bother with Hu Xiao either, turning right around and left.
Xiong Zhan was, at any rate, a Tier 6 expert. There were really not many people able to stop him.
Right then, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Xiong Zhan since who knows when and blocked his path.
“Younger Brother Xiong Zhan, don’t get angry. Young people are insensible. Don’t haggle about it with them! You’re my Darkfiend Tiger Clan domain’s high elder. Anyone might have ulterior motives, but you won’t even have any,” the person said to Xiong Zhan with a smile, like old friends catching up.
When Xiong Zhan saw the arrival, his eyes involuntarily reddened as he said, “Lord . . . Hu Rong, long . . . long time no see!”
“Sigh . . . yes, really long time no see!”
Inside the clan, when Hu Rong heard Xiong Zhan’s battle report, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan deeply.
He was seriously unable to imagine how this Tier 4 youth before his eyes accomplished to this step.
Xiong Zhan’s words sounded just like talking about a book from the heaven; there was no proof whatsoever.
In the middle of a bunch of Tier 5 and Tier 6 experts, a Tier 4 youth led the battle situation, making use of another person’s hands to kill a Tier 6 expert and severely injuring Peng Yun.
This series of events sounded somewhat preposterous no matter what!
When Xiong Zhan finished talking, Hu Rong nodded his head and said, “Turns out that in-between this, so many things actually happened! Younger Brother Xiong Zhan has worked hard. It’s getting late today. You and this little brother rest in the clan first. I’ll reward the two of you tomorrow with a feast tomorrow.”
Xiong Zhan was not a fool and naturally could tell that Hu Rong did not believe the words he said.
But Xiong Zhan also knew that all of this that he said was seriously somewhat too fantastical to imagine. Listening to it really seemed like weaving a story.
If he did not see with his own eyes but was relayed to him by other people, he definitely would not believe it.
Xiong Zhan nodded his head and turned around and left with Ye Yuan.
After the two left, Hu Rong suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Xiao-er, how much of Xiong Zhan’s words do you think can be trusted?”
Hu Xiao scurried out from inside and shook his head and said, “This child feels that there isn’t an iota of credibility! That Ye Yuan only has Tier 4 strength. Even if he really had the ability to cross boundaries to battle, how could he possibly defeat Peng Yun? Furthermore, what the roc clan is most proficient in is speed. To let a Tier 4 martial artist go and compete in speed with a late-stage Tier 5 Peng Yun . . . isn’t this a joke?”
Hu Rong nodded his head, but he did not comment anything. He then asked, “Is the person sent out already?”
Hu Xiao nodded and said, “Already sent out. But the quickest most likely also needs three to four days’ time before it can be thoroughly investigated.”
Xiong Zhan is our Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s elder. Back then, he received Big Brother’s great grace. Presumably, he won’t betray the tiger clan. Rather, that youth has unclear origins. There’s no choice but to guard against him! If there’s really any problem, it’s almost certain to have been planned by that youth.
. . . If Big Brother could take a turn for the better, we wouldn’t be at an extent of quaking in our boots these few years either, akin to treading on thin ice!” Hu Rong said.
“Sigh . . . That’s also something that can’t be helped.” Hu Xiao followed up with a sigh. Suddenly, his eyeballs swiveled around, and he moved closer to Hu Rong and said, “Uncle Rong, why not send somebody to go and test that boy a bit? Whether he’s really capable or bragging, wouldn’t it be out with a probe?”
“You’re saying . . .”
“Didn’t that boy claim to be the Dragon Lord? Then let’s make the real Dragon Lord exchange blows with him and see who’s the real Dragon Lord!” Hu Xiao felt that this idea was pretty good and said proudly.
Hu Rong’s eyes lit up, and he said, “This idea is not bad! The Dragon Lord’s identity is extraordinary. Once he knows that somebody impersonated him, he probably won’t tolerate the other party’s existence!”

第二百四十五章
危险！
陈锋下意识的神经紧绷。
刷！
幸运光环全面开启！
陈锋冷汗淋漓，不过，很快，他就清醒过来，如果这些人真想干掉他们的话，他们根本不可能活下去。 这里可是冰海深处！
陈锋深吸一口气，“怎么会在在这里？”
“你居然不害怕？” 苟力嘴角露出笑容。
“害怕有什么用？” 陈锋摊手，心境已经恢复平和。 “很好。”
“那就能谈下去了。” 苟力平静的说道，“如果无法交流的话，我们只能干掉你了。” 苟力大概介绍了一下他们的情况。
其实跟陈锋猜测的差不多，他们当年被追杀，落入冰海中，因为一些特殊手段侥幸存活，所以留在了这里。
陈锋看向周围将冰海和空气分割的神奇力量。
“是我们一个兄弟做的。” 苟力低声道，“他叫毕曲志，曾经是海鲜市场做保护膜的，什么大虾啊、螃蟹啊、青蛙啊，都是他膜起来的，他的能力可以制造一层能量保护膜，将一切保鲜，后来被我发现，就带到了团队中。” “他的能力很强。”
如果这些能力跟基因工会的大能一起配合，绝对能干出不少大事情！ 苟力他们绝对能够将功赎罪！ “不可能的。”
苟力目光中充满了冷冽，“就算我们不想与基因工会为敌，但是也绝不会原谅他！
苟力眼中杀意大盛。 他们可是A级，如果真想搞一下事情出来，绝对不会太困难！
“没错！” “我们是被冤枉的！”
苟力恨恨的说道。 陈锋和徐飞脸色大变，那这可是天大的冤案了！ 整整十年啊！
到底发生了什么？ “我们团队执行任务的时候，忽然失去了意识，等我们清醒过来的时候，身受重伤，莫名成了戴罪之身！ 基因工会追捕，未知的敌人追杀，我们只能不断的逃！
陈锋若有所思。 “没错。”
苟力眼中闪过恨意，“就是推动整件事的罪魁祸首！”
“你们没去报仇？”
你特么逗我呢对吧？ 你们可是这么多A级B级的基因团队啊！
苟力摇摇头，“当时我们正在执行任务，发现一个神秘人！ 此人代号‘魂’，拥有强大的心灵操控力量！ 可能跟任务有关，当我们追查过去的时候，可能是被他暂时控制了心智，才发生这种事。”
魂！ 神秘人！
一个个令人震撼的字眼蹦出。
这十年前的大事之下，竟然隐藏着这么多不为人知的事情，那神秘人的实力，也是惊人的可怕！ 能操控那么多A级，到底是什么力量？
“可是依然不是他的对手。” 苟力叹息，“所以我们只能在这里蛰伏，等什么时候拥有了击毙他的力量，才能够还我们清白！
才能够为兄弟们报仇！” 周围，那些村民平淡的神色下，情绪也是出现轻微的波动。
陈锋看向外面那些随时可能消散的废墟，如果一切如苟力说的那样，村庄怎么会莫名其妙的出事？
“毕曲志死了。”
陈锋顿时明悟。 毕曲志，他们在冰海最大的依仗死了！ 只有死路一条！
“希望你的能量有用。” 苟力看向陈锋，他对陈锋倒是没有太大杀心，因为陈锋的能量如果无用，大家都会死在这里。 “明白。”
陈锋微微点头。
“哐！”
“哐！”
那头巨龟，在不断的撞击村庄的保护膜，传来一阵阵声响，而整个村庄的保护膜，颜色又黯淡了一分。
没用！ 那玩意仅对冰海生物有用，老乌龟甚至不需要太多操作，只要破开紫色能量，他们就会被冰海水分解！
这才是最可怕的！ 无论苟力说的真假，他们都必须保护好这个村庄。 哪怕为了自己！
陈锋若有所思。 这个对他而言不是问题，但是这一切有个前提，那就是决不能让那头老乌龟就这样无休止的进攻村庄！ 而陈锋他们想要离开，也无法避开老乌龟！
“干掉它！”

"value": "The words she said had a very great impact. This lady had already made everything very clear. She didn't need to be recognized, nor did she want to be his wife. She only wanted to be a soulmate.\nQing Shui felt that he had encountered many good things in life. The matter with this ethereal lady before him was one of them. Even if he felt that this was real, he would subconsciously feel that it wasn't. Things like these were in no way inferior compared to the issue of him being reborn in this world.\n\"Then can I have a taste right now?\" Qing Shui daringly said next to her ears.\n\"Don't you think about it now. Even if I were to let you take advantage of me, I still need to put you on observation for a little longer.\" The lady spoke shyly next to Qing Shui's ears, her breathing caused Qing Shui's heart to itch.\n\"Then what benefits do I get right now?\" Qing Shui was now more daring.\nHis hand slipped up the lady's slender waist. Now that she had said all of this, he no longer planned to pretend to be a gentleman. Furthermore, there was still the Five Elements Divine Flag. It was just like how in Buddhism, this would be called an affinity.\n\"Your benefit will be to submit to me. I'll take all the initiative. You aren't allowed to make a move,\" the lady smiled happily and said. Thereafter, she even pecked Qing Shui on the lips. Such teasing really dealt a great blow to Qing Shui.\n...\nQing Shui didn't tell her about his physique. After all, he still understood very little of her. Up to now, he didn't even know her name yet. He subconsciously felt that the lady was speaking the truth and wasn't trying to cheat him of anything. Of course, his feelings might not be accurate.\nThe next day, Qing Shui left the Southern Sea's bamboo building. Yu Ruyan and Tantai Xuan didn't come out from their seclusion and he didn't return to the Heaven Secrets Academy either. He headed for the Desolate Mountain Regions directly.\nThe Desolate Mountain Regions was a huge and vast mountain region south of the Western Oxhe Continent. The mountain ranges, forests, lakes and deserts it had were countless. There were also many sects and aristocratic clans in the area. Of course, there were many cities in the area as well.\nThe Desolate Sect was one of the strongest sects in the area and was the biggest sect close to the north of the Western Oxhe Continent. They even had the wish to unite all the forces in the Western Oxhe Continent in order to build an even more powerful sect or dynasty.\nFor people with such ambitions, Qing Shui felt that they should also be thinking about heading to the other three continents as well. Even if they were to unite the Western Oxhe Continent, they would probably need to work on development for many years before they would be able to get involved with the other three continents.\nPassing through the Huge Desolated City, Qing Shui entered the Desolate Mountain Regions. The damage done by the attack of the demonic beasts when he came by the other time were already mostly fixed. There was no lack of manpower in this world. Each city was filled with people.\nThis was the first time Qing Shui entered the Desolate Mountain Regions. The reason he came today was to check out the situation here as well as to see the Desolate Mountain Regions.\nAfter entering the Desolate Mountain Regions, what Qing Shui saw was a piece of desolate land. There were boundless desolate mountains and this was something he had seen from the air. He could also see the occasional appearance of some demonic beasts.\nHowever, this was the boundary of the Desolate Mountain Regions and thus there would generally not be any people staying here nor would there be demonic beasts who were too powerful. After all, the conditions here were relatively harsher and filled with barren mountains. Even if there were any signs of vegetation, they would be very sparse.\nNine Continents Steps!\nSeeing this, Qing Shui used the Nine Continents Steps directly.\nAfter one use of the Nine Continents Steps, Qing Shui saw a huge city under him.\nHe descended.\nThis was a city. After asking around, he got to know that this was Sky Desolate City!\nCompared to the endless stretch of barren mountains he had seen earlier, this place was like an oasis in a desert. Other than being able to see mountains everywhere, the vegetation here was very thick and was no different from a city like the Yan City. Furthermore, the environment here seemed to be better and there were many beautiful places.\nWhen Qing Shui saw the name of the greatest inn in the Sky Desolate City, he smiled. Earlier on, he had gotten onto a beast carriage, requesting to be brought to the greatest inn in the area. He hadn't expected it to be the Great Desolation Inn.\nQing Shui wasn't certain if this inn was related to the Desolate Sect but he felt that there must be some relations between them.\nAfter paying for the ride, Qing Shui walked over to this extremely big inn which was exuding a strong feeling of vitality. Other than the doors and windows, all the other spaces in this inn were filled with plants that were like vines. Even the roof had a layer of vegetation but the building gave off an indescribable feeling of harmonious beauty. It was very strange. This was the first time Qing Shui had seen a building like this. It had a similar feeling to the lady's bamboo building, which was purely made of plants.\nThere were several ladies at the entrance, dressed up beautifully. They had great figures and they would bow to greet the people who entered or exited the inn. With them standing there, the Great Desolation Inn had an additional feeling of spring.\n\"Welcome, Sir! This way please!\"\nQing Shui smiled and tipped the ladies with some silver. None of the guests here lacked money. Giving these people some tips was also considered \"gentlemanly\" behavior.\nOther than there being no private rooms in Earthly Paradise, most of the other inns or restaurants Qing Shui visited had them. And he had visited quite a number of them. After all, some of the guests were here to look for special services. Although there were bedrooms here, some people liked to satisfy their lustful desires in the private rooms, enjoying great wine and the companionship of beauties.\nQing Shui headed up directly. The building wasn't very tall, nor were there many stories. However, it took up a large land area. It could be due to the fact that they were located in the mountainous region that the buildings here all took up a large land area and were relatively shorter.\nQing Shui took a seat in the hall on the fifth story. There were quite a number of people here and a lot of them were cultivators. Qing Shui walked past them, sensing with his spiritual sense. There wasn't anyone who could get his attention.\n\"Oh, right, do you guys know that the Eruption Devil Bear has been killed by the Desolate Sect?\"\n\"What's so strange about that? Right now, the Desolate Sect is getting stronger and stronger. They have already faintly surpassed the Great Solar Sect.\"\nQing Shui hadn't sat down for long when he overheard a few cultivators nearby talking about the Desolate Sect. Qing Shui knew that the Sky Desolate City must be where the Desolate Sect was based at.\nThis was the first time Qing Shui had heard of the Great Solar Sect. In the past the Great Solar Sect should also have been an existence which appeared to surpass the Desolate Sect. After coming here, Qing Shui got to know that the number of barbarians here wasn’t large.\nMost of the people here were still normal humans and even the Desolate Sect were largely ordinary humans. It was just that the upper echelon in the Desolate Sect had the bloodline of the Beast Blood Tribe. Therefore, it could be said that the Desolate Sect was backed by the people from the Beast Blood Tribe.\n\"Do you guys know? I heard that that pair of geniuses from the Divine Beast Sect has joined the Divine Beast Sect. In the future, it wouldn't be a problem for the Divine Beast Sect to unify the Western Oxhe Continent.\"\nQing Shui hadn't expected that the pair of geniuses from the Desolate Sect were especially famous. He realized that many people around him were talking about the Desolate Sect and the pair of geniuses.\nDivine Beast Sect. Qing Shui hadn't heard of this organization before. Therefore, he asked the middle-aged man who had brought it up, \"Brother, this is the first time I've come to this place. Is the Divine Beast Sect very powerful?\"\nMany people looked at Qing Shui and that middle-aged man even threw him a look of disdain. However, because Qing Shui's attitude was very commendable, the man took a sip of tea before saying, \"Of course the Divine Beast Sect is very powerful. It's said that there's someone in the Divine Beast Sect who has reached the False God realm. Do you think that's powerful?\"\n\"There aren't any cultivators in the Western Oxhe Continent who are at the False God realm, right?\"\n\"Are you a fool? Who said that the Divine Beast Sect is in the Western Oxhe Continent?\" The middle-aged man looked at Qing Shui with an air of superiority. At this moment, he seemed to be especially important.\n\"Then do you know which continent the Divine Beast Sect is on?\" Qing Shui didn't think much of how the middle-aged man had behaved. He only found it to be funny. He was very calm. Even if he were despised, he wouldn't feel anything. These people here were insignificant as ants to him.\n\"Dancing Phoenix Continent!\"\nHearing the words 'Dancing Phoenix Continent', Qing Shui's heart skipped a beat. He felt that there seemed to be some sort of a coincidence. He should be heading to the Dancing Phoenix Continent soon. The Desolate Sect's hopes to unify the Western Oxhe Continent lay in the hands of those two geniuses. And now that they had gone to the Dancing Phoenix Continent, they wouldn't be making any moves in the Western Oxhe Continent in the short term.\nHe had already killed a member of the Desolate Sect and it was a traveling disciple. Thereafter, Desolate Sect had sent some people over and almost all of them had died. He didn't know how Lü Zitai had been either. Had he already returned to the Desolate Sect and had yet to make his move? It was unlikely for him to make a move now. At least, not for quite some time.\nThe Heaven Secrets Academy was also developing rapidly. There was also the Lotus Sect, Putuo Mountain, Divine Might Dynasty, the Great Qi Dynasty , Buddha Sect and others. Therefore, it wasn't a bad thing for the time to be pushed back a little. When the time comes and these forces answered the call, half of the Western Oxhe Continent would come forward. In a sense, he was the only one capable of handling those two geniuses from the Divine Might Dynasty.\nCould he handle them? Qing Shui had the feeling that he could. This was why he had decided to head to the Dancing Phoenix Continent. This feeling was very strong.\nHe didn't think of finding trouble with the Desolate Sect. Right now, as long as the Desolate Sect didn't make any moves, he wouldn't do anything either. It was because there was the Beast Blood Tribe backing the Divine Beast Sect. The Beast Blood Tribe was also quite a powerful forcce in the Western Oxhe Continent. Furthermore, right now, those two geniuses were at the Divine Beast Sect. He didn't know how much the Divine Beast Sect would value them. If they were to hold the two of them in high regard, if there was really someone who was a False God, then he might not be able to deal with the situation if something were to occur.\nHowever, Qing Shui felt that a False God wouldn't care to get involved with something like this. Despite this, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, he had decided to travel between the Dancing Phoenix Continent and the Central Continent for the upcoming period of time.\nSince he had promised his kids to return a few days each month, he would do his best to fulfill his promise to them. Moreover, it was very convenient now.\nQing Shui used teleportation after staying slightly over one day. He felt that this Five Elements Divine Flag was truly a divine artifact. This time around, the teleportation was still considered ordinary. The lady was seated on a rock, reading. She immersed her bare feet in the seawater, as if she was thinking of something.\nWhen she saw Qing Shui, she was a little puzzled, \"Why did you come back so quickly? Did you encounter some kind of danger?\"\n\"No. I've decided to head to the Dancing Phoenix Continent,\" Qing Shui said outright.\n\"Why?\" The lady trembled but it was very slight.\n\"Those two geniuses from the Desolate Sect were said to have gone to the Dancing Phoenix Continent and joined the Divine Beast Sect. Do you know of the Divine Beast Sect?\" Qing Shui asked curiously. Compared to those strangers at the inn, Qing Shui felt that it was better to trust what the lady said. However, he didn't know if she knew of the Divine Beast Sect."

那一句话的杀伤力还是很大的，这个女人已经什么都表明了，她不要名分，也不要做什么妻子，就是一个知己，一个红颜知己。
青水感觉自己遇到的好事很多，就像眼前这样的事情如这个女人一样虚无缥缈，哪怕他感觉是真的，潜意识也会感觉是假的，这样的事情比他重生的事情丝毫不逊色。
“那现在可不可以尝尝呢。” 青水大着胆子在女人耳边说道。
“现在你别想，就算是我要便宜你，也要再考察你一下。” 女人在青水耳边羞赧的说道，喷出的气息让青水心痒如抓。
“那我现在有什么好处呢？” 青水胆子也大了。
手也爬上了女人的素腰，女人话都说到这份上，他也不打算装什么清高，何况还有五行神旗，就像佛说的缘分。
既然遇到了就想法设法的留下这个缘分，这个女人因为自身体质原因而认准自己，她不是个放荡的女人，她是认准了自己才会发生了以上的情况。
女人开心的笑着，说完还在青水嘴上啄了一下，这种挑逗还是很有冲击力的。
青水没有告诉她自己的体质，毕竟他现在对于女人的理解还是很少，到现在连名字都不知道，潜意识感觉女人是真的，没有要骗自己什么，当然他的感觉不一定准。
第二天青水离开了南海竹楼，雨如烟和澹台璇并没有出关，他也没有回天机学府，直接向着大荒山域赶去。
大荒山域是西牛鹤州南面部位一个巨大辽阔山域，其中的群山和森林、湖泊以及沙漠什么的数不胜数，而在这里面也是有很多的宗派世家，其中也是有很多的城池。
大荒宗是其中的一个实力范围极光的宗派，是大荒山域临近西牛鹤州北部这一代的最大宗派，更是有着将西牛鹤州所有实力统一起来建立一个更强大的宗派，或者王朝的愿望。
一般有这样的心思青水感觉那志向应该是也想踏足另外三州，就算是统一了西牛鹤州想去另外三州掺一脚的话估计还需要很多年的发展。
穿过大荒城，进入大荒山域，上一次来过这里，被妖兽攻击的残破大荒城如今也恢复了个差不多，大陆不缺人，基本上每座城中的人都是人山人海。
这是青水第一次进入大荒山域，这一次进入主要是看看这里是一个怎么样情况，顺便接触下大荒宗。
一片荒芜，这是青水进入大荒山域后看到的，一眼望不到边的荒山，这是在空中看到的，下面不时的可以看到的一些妖兽出现。
不过这里是大荒山域的外围，所以一般不会有人烟，也不会有太强大的妖兽，毕竟这里条件相对恶劣一点，都是荒山，就算是植被都是特别的稀疏。
九州行！
青水看到这样的情况，直接使用了九州行。
一次九州行之后青水看到了脚下是一座巨大的城池。
直接落下去。
这是一座山城，问了一下这里是天荒城！
和之前那一片无际的荒山相比，这里就如沙漠的绿洲一样，除了这里可以随意的看到山，植被茂密一点和炎城那样的城池没有什么区别，而且这里的环境似乎更好，很多地方看起来很美。 大荒酒楼！
青水看到这天荒城中最大的酒楼名字时笑了，之前他乘坐一辆兽车，说是去附近最大的酒楼，没想到到了大荒酒楼。
青水不能确定这酒楼是不是一定和大荒宗有关系，但他感觉应该会有点关系。
付完钱，青水就向着这座巨大散发出一种生命之意的酒楼走去，这座酒楼除了门窗其它地方全是爬满了藤蔓之类的植物，就算是楼顶什么都有植被，但整座楼却是有着一种说不出的和谐美，很怪异，这是青水第一次看到这样的建筑，和女人的竹楼那种纯植被建筑有着异曲同工之效。
门口有着数名女子穿着花枝招展，身材凸凹有致，向着进进出出的人躬身施礼，站在那里为大荒酒楼增加几分春意。
欢迎光临，先生您请！
青水笑着给了几名女子一点银两，来这里的人都不是缺钱的主，给这些人一点银两这也是一种“绅士”行为。
除了在天上人间没有包间之外，青水进入的酒楼不少了，基本上都有，毕竟有些人来这里都是找一些特殊服务，虽然酒楼有卧室，但有些人就喜欢在包间中，饱暖思淫~欲，而且还是美酒佳人。
青水直接向着楼上走去，这里的楼不是很高，层数也不是很多，但占地面积很大，可能是山地原因，建筑物都是占地广，相对比较矮。
青水在五层的大厅坐下，这里的人不少，而且武者多，青水一路走来，神识感受，并没有发现能让他眼前一亮的武者。
“对了，你们知道不，爆炎魔熊被大荒宗给杀死了。”
“这有什么奇怪，大荒宗如今实力蒸蒸日上已经隐约超越了大日宗。”
青水坐下没有多久就听到了不远处几个武者在哪里说着大荒宗的事情，青水知道这天荒城应该是大荒宗坐落的位置。
青水还是第一次听到大日宗，这大日宗应该在表面上以前是超越大荒宗的存在，来到这里后青水也知道至于野蛮人其实是少数的。
这里大部分还是正常的人类，大荒宗也是正常人类多，只是大荒宗高层有兽血一族的血统，所以说大荒宗背后有兽血一族的人支持着。
“你们知道吗，听说大荒宗的那对天才拜入兽神门，日后大荒宗统一西牛鹤州也就不是问题了。”
青水没有想到大荒宗的那对天才还是特别的出名的，因为他发现周围很多都是议论关于大荒宗和大荒宗那对天才的话题。
兽神门，青水没听说过是个什么组织，便好奇的向着那个说话的中年男人问道：“这位老兄，小弟初来乍到，这兽神门很强大吗？”
很多人都是看着青水，特别是那中年男人更是不屑的看了青水一眼，不过青水的态度很好，所以男人喝口茶才缓缓说道：“兽神门当然很强大了，兽神门据说有着神虚境界的武者，你说强大吗？”
“西牛鹤州好像没有神虚境界的武者吧！”
谁说兽神门在西牛鹤州了。” 中年男人看着青水的眼神很优越，这一刻似乎他特别的伟大。
“那老兄知道兽神门在那个州吗？” 青水看着中年男人的模样没有什么感觉，就是感觉好笑，他的心很平静，就算是被鄙视也没有任何感觉，这些人在他眼中是蝼蚁。
“凤舞州！”
青水听到凤舞州心思一动，感觉有种巧合，自己应该也快要去凤舞州了，大荒宗想统一西牛鹤州的希望就在那一对天才身上，而现在他们去了凤舞州，暂时也不会在西牛鹤州有什么动作了。
他已经杀了大荒宗一个弟子，还是旅行弟子，后来大荒宗来了一些人，几乎全部死亡，吕子邰入籍生涩不知，是不是已经回到了大荒宗，而一直没有动手，应该是不会动手了吧，至少是最近很长一段时间不会动手了。
天机学府也在迅速发展，而且还有莲花宗、普陀山神威王朝以及大齐王朝、佛门等，所以时间向后拖拖也不是坏事，到时候这些实力一呼唤，半个西牛鹤州绝对都会响应，所以算下来，就是自己能顶住大荒宗那对天才。
能顶住吗，青水感觉还是可以的，所以他也决定前往凤舞州了，这种感觉很强烈。
他没有想去找什么大荒宗的晦气，现在只要大荒宗不动他也不动，因为大荒宗背后是兽血一族，兽血一族在西牛鹤州也是一股不小的势力，何况现在那对天才所在的兽神门，他还不知道兽神门对这对天才重视到什么程度，万一特别重视，如果真有神虚的存在，出点事情还真不是自己能承受的起。
但青水感觉神虚武者是不屑于插足这样的事情，但小心一点没有坏处，所以他想在接下来的一段时间就在凤舞州和中州穿梭。
答应了儿女一个月回去几天就尽量做到，何况现在还是很方便的。
只在这里待了一天多点时间就直接使用了传送，青水感觉有这个传送五行神旗真是神器，在青水感觉就是神器，这一次传送过去还算正常，女人正在岩石上坐着，赤着一双玉足正在海水中，似乎在想着什么。
看到青水后有一点疑惑：“怎么这么快回来了，不会是遇到什么危险了吧！”
“没有，我决定前往凤舞州。” 青水干脆的说道。
“为什么？” 女人身体一震，很轻微。
“大荒宗的那对天才据说去了凤舞州拜入了兽神门，你知道兽神门吗？” 青水好奇的问道，和那些人相比，青水感觉还是相信女人的好，只是不知道女人知不知道兽神门。

The words she said had a very great impact. This lady had already made everything very clear. She didn't need to be recognized, nor did she want to be his wife. She only wanted to be a soulmate.
Qing Shui felt that he had encountered many good things in life. The matter with this ethereal lady before him was one of them.

"Don't you think about it now. Even if I were to let you take advantage of me, I still need to put you on observation for a little longer." The lady spoke shyly next to Qing Shui's ears, her breathing caused Qing Shui's heart to itch.
"Then what benefits do I get right now?" Qing Shui was now more daring.
His hand slipped up the lady's slender waist. Now that she had said all of this, he no longer planned to pretend to be a gentleman. Furthermore, there was still the Five Elements Divine Flag. It was just like how in Buddhism, this would be called an affinity.
"Your benefit will be to submit to me. I'll take all the initiative. You aren't allowed to make a move," the lady smiled happily and said. Thereafter, she even pecked Qing Shui on the lips. Such teasing really dealt a great blow to Qing Shui.
...
Qing Shui didn't tell her about his physique. After all, he still understood very little of her. Up to now, he didn't even know her name yet. He subconsciously felt that the lady was speaking the truth and wasn't trying to cheat him of anything. Of course, his feelings might not be accurate.
The next day, Qing Shui left the Southern Sea's bamboo building. Yu Ruyan and Tantai Xuan didn't come out from their seclusion and he didn't return to the Heaven Secrets Academy either. He headed for the Desolate Mountain Regions directly.
The Desolate Mountain Regions was a huge and vast mountain region south of the Western Oxhe Continent. The mountain ranges, forests, lakes and deserts it had were countless. There were also many sects and aristocratic clans in the area. Of course, there were many cities in the area as well.
The Desolate Sect was one of the strongest sects in the area and was the biggest sect close to the north of the Western Oxhe Continent. They even had the wish to unite all the forces in the Western Oxhe Continent in order to build an even more powerful sect or dynasty.
For people with such ambitions, Qing Shui felt that they should also be thinking about heading to the other three continents as well. Even if they were to unite the Western Oxhe Continent, they would probably need to work on development for many years before they would be able to get involved with the other three continents.
Passing through the Huge Desolated City, Qing Shui entered the Desolate Mountain Regions. The damage done by the attack of the demonic beasts when he came by the other time were already mostly fixed. There was no lack of manpower in this world. Each city was filled with people.
This was the first time Qing Shui entered the Desolate Mountain Regions. The reason he came today was to check out the situation here as well as to see the Desolate Mountain Regions.
After entering the Desolate Mountain Regions, what Qing Shui saw was a piece of desolate land. There were boundless desolate mountains and this was something he had seen from the air. He could also see the occasional appearance of some demonic beasts.
However, this was the boundary of the Desolate Mountain Regions and thus there would generally not be any people staying here nor would there be demonic beasts who were too powerful. After all, the conditions here were relatively harsher and filled with barren mountains. Even if there were any signs of vegetation, they would be very sparse.
Nine Continents Steps!
Seeing this, Qing Shui used the Nine Continents Steps directly.
After one use of the Nine Continents Steps, Qing Shui saw a huge city under him.
He descended.
This was a city. After asking around, he got to know that this was Sky Desolate City!
Compared to the endless stretch of barren mountains he had seen earlier, this place was like an oasis in a desert. Other than being able to see mountains everywhere, the vegetation here was very thick and was no different from a city like the Yan City. Furthermore, the environment here seemed to be better and there were many beautiful places.
When Qing Shui saw the name of the greatest inn in the Sky Desolate City, he smiled. Earlier on, he had gotten onto a beast carriage, requesting to be brought to the greatest inn in the area. He hadn't expected it to be the Great Desolation Inn.
Qing Shui wasn't certain if this inn was related to the Desolate Sect but he felt that there must be some relations between them.
After paying for the ride, Qing Shui walked over to this extremely big inn which was exuding a strong feeling of vitality. Other than the doors and windows, all the other spaces in this inn were filled with plants that were like vines. Even the roof had a layer of vegetation but the building gave off an indescribable feeling of harmonious beauty. It was very strange. This was the first time Qing Shui had seen a building like this. It had a similar feeling to the lady's bamboo building, which was purely made of plants.
There were several ladies at the entrance, dressed up beautifully. They had great figures and they would bow to greet the people who entered or exited the inn. With them standing there, the Great Desolation Inn had an additional feeling of spring.
"Welcome, Sir! This way please!"
Qing Shui smiled and tipped the ladies with some silver. None of the guests here lacked money. Giving these people some tips was also considered "gentlemanly" behavior.
Other than there being no private rooms in Earthly Paradise, most of the other inns or restaurants Qing Shui visited had them. And he had visited quite a number of them. After all, some of the guests were here to look for special services. Although there were bedrooms here, some people liked to satisfy their lustful desires in the private rooms, enjoying great wine and the companionship of beauties.
Qing Shui headed up directly. The building wasn't very tall, nor were there many stories. However, it took up a large land area. It could be due to the fact that they were located in the mountainous region that the buildings here all took up a large land area and were relatively shorter.
Qing Shui took a seat in the hall on the fifth story. There were quite a number of people here and a lot of them were cultivators. Qing Shui walked past them, sensing with his spiritual sense. There wasn't anyone who could get his attention.
"Oh, right, do you guys know that the Eruption Devil Bear has been killed by the Desolate Sect?"
"What's so strange about that? Right now, the Desolate Sect is getting stronger and stronger. They have already faintly surpassed the Great Solar Sect."
Qing Shui hadn't sat down for long when he overheard a few cultivators nearby talking about the Desolate Sect. Qing Shui knew that the Sky Desolate City must be where the Desolate Sect was based at.
This was the first time Qing Shui had heard of the Great Solar Sect. In the past the Great Solar Sect should also have been an existence which appeared to surpass the Desolate Sect. After coming here, Qing Shui got to know that the number of barbarians here wasn’t large.
Most of the people here were still normal humans and even the Desolate Sect were largely ordinary humans. It was just that the upper echelon in the Desolate Sect had the bloodline of the Beast Blood Tribe. Therefore, it could be said that the Desolate Sect was backed by the people from the Beast Blood Tribe.
"Do you guys know? I heard that that pair of geniuses from the Divine Beast Sect has joined the Divine Beast Sect. In the future, it wouldn't be a problem for the Divine Beast Sect to unify the Western Oxhe Continent."
Qing Shui hadn't expected that the pair of geniuses from the Desolate Sect were especially famous. He realized that many people around him were talking about the Desolate Sect and the pair of geniuses.
Divine Beast Sect. Qing Shui hadn't heard of this organization before. Therefore, he asked the middle-aged man who had brought it up, "Brother, this is the first time I've come to this place. Is the Divine Beast Sect very powerful?"
Many people looked at Qing Shui and that middle-aged man even threw him a look of disdain. However, because Qing Shui's attitude was very commendable, the man took a sip of tea before saying, "Of course the Divine Beast Sect is very powerful. It's said that there's someone in the Divine Beast Sect who has reached the False God realm. Do you think that's powerful?"
"There aren't any cultivators in the Western Oxhe Continent who are at the False God realm, right?"
"Are you a fool? Who said that the Divine Beast Sect is in the Western Oxhe Continent?" The middle-aged man looked at Qing Shui with an air of superiority. At this moment, he seemed to be especially important.
"Then do you know which continent the Divine Beast Sect is on?" Qing Shui didn't think much of how the middle-aged man had behaved. He only found it to be funny. He was very calm. Even if he were despised, he wouldn't feel anything. These people here were insignificant as ants to him.
"Dancing Phoenix Continent!"
Hearing the words 'Dancing Phoenix Continent', Qing Shui's heart skipped a beat. He felt that there seemed to be some sort of a coincidence. He should be heading to the Dancing Phoenix Continent soon. The Desolate Sect's hopes to unify the Western Oxhe Continent lay in the hands of those two geniuses. And now that they had gone to the Dancing Phoenix Continent, they wouldn't be making any moves in the Western Oxhe Continent in the short term.
He had already killed a member of the Desolate Sect and it was a traveling disciple. Thereafter, Desolate Sect had sent some people over and almost all of them had died. He didn't know how Lü Zitai had been either. Had he already returned to the Desolate Sect and had yet to make his move? It was unlikely for him to make a move now. At least, not for quite some time.
The Heaven Secrets Academy was also developing rapidly. There was also the Lotus Sect, Putuo Mountain, Divine Might Dynasty, the Great Qi Dynasty , Buddha Sect and others. Therefore, it wasn't a bad thing for the time to be pushed back a little. When the time comes and these forces answered the call, half of the Western Oxhe Continent would come forward. In a sense, he was the only one capable of handling those two geniuses from the Divine Might Dynasty.
Could he handle them? Qing Shui had the feeling that he could. This was why he had decided to head to the Dancing Phoenix Continent. This feeling was very strong.
He didn't think of finding trouble with the Desolate Sect. Right now, as long as the Desolate Sect didn't make any moves, he wouldn't do anything either. It was because there was the Beast Blood Tribe backing the Divine Beast Sect. The Beast Blood Tribe was also quite a powerful forcce in the Western Oxhe Continent. Furthermore, right now, those two geniuses were at the Divine Beast Sect. He didn't know how much the Divine Beast Sect would value them. If they were to hold the two of them in high regard, if there was really someone who was a False God, then he might not be able to deal with the situation if something were to occur.
However, Qing Shui felt that a False God wouldn't care to get involved with something like this. Despite this, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, he had decided to travel between the Dancing Phoenix Continent and the Central Continent for the upcoming period of time.
Since he had promised his kids to return a few days each month, he would do his best to fulfill his promise to them. Moreover, it was very convenient now.
Qing Shui used teleportation after staying slightly over one day. He felt that this Five Elements Divine Flag was truly a divine artifact. This time around, the teleportation was still considered ordinary. The lady was seated on a rock, reading. She immersed her bare feet in the seawater, as if she was thinking of something.
When she saw Qing Shui, she was a little puzzled, "Why did you come back so quickly? Did you encounter some kind of danger?"
"No. I've decided to head to the Dancing Phoenix Continent," Qing Shui said outright.
"Why?" The lady trembled but it was very slight.
"Those two geniuses from the Desolate Sect were said to have gone to the Dancing Phoenix Continent and joined the Divine Beast Sect. Do you know of the Divine Beast Sect?" Qing Shui asked curiously. Compared to those strangers at the inn, Qing Shui felt that it was better to trust what the lady said. However, he didn't know if she knew of the Divine Beast Sect.

"value": "Chapter 683: Henceforth\nHe was willing to sink into depravity!\nAll to avoid death!\nTears streamed down the face of the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch. He howled, and his eyes were completely bloodshot. He no longer even had a heart, but he still felt a sense of belonging to the clan and the bonds of kinship toward his fellow clan members. But now… it was too late to turn back.\nRegret? He did not know the meaning of the term. He could only consume. Consume the souls of his own bloodline. Only those souls could save his life.\nThe 10th Wang Clan Patriarch howled hoarsely as his consciousness grew murky. He slipped further into madness. KILL! KILL! KILL!\nHe had no idea how many people he killed, nor how many souls of fellow clan members he consumed. In one night, all the members of the Wang Clan in the clan’s third city… died.\nThe Patriarchs buried in the various mountain ranges were destroyed amidst rumbling booms. The seven Patriarchs had incredible cultivation bases, but the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch now possessed Immortal qi, as well as a Perfect Dao foundation. They simply couldn’t compare to him, and were no match at all.\nOne by one, they all died! Mountains crumbled, and everything shook. In one night, the Wang Clan’s entire foundation in the lands of South Heaven… was uprooted. This was genocide!\nHe was the 10th Patriarch, who had existed for ages in the lands of South Heaven. He was the Patriarch with the highest cultivation base in the clan, a person the clan members looked up to like a god.\nBut on that day, the god became a devil, and carnage reigned. During the massacre, he regained lucidity three times.\nThe first time was when he killed his younger brother, the 11th Wang Clan Patriarch who had stayed by his side for countless years. He ripped his soul out, then, tears streaming down his face, laughed maniacally and consumed it.\nThe second time was when he killed his most beloved member of the junior generation. The man cried, begging the Patriarch to spare his life. He crushed the man’s skull, then, his hand still covered with blood and brain, grabbed the soul and consumed it.\nThe third time was when the world had grown completely silent. Beneath his feet was nothing but wreckage and bodies. No living person existed. At that point, he regained clarity.\nHowever, that clarity only lasted for a few breaths of time. Then he slipped back into madness. By this point, his body was no longer injured. He was recovered. However, the souls that he had lost… would remain forever lost. Two spiritual aspects and three physical aspects were gone forever.\nHe now had only one spiritual aspect and four physical aspects.\nThis was a result bought by the lives of all the Wang Clan members in the lands of South Heaven. His soul did not dissipate, and he did not die. However… with only one spiritual aspect and four physical aspects to his soul, who knew if and when he would ever become lucid again.\nFor the most part, he was descended into madness and carnage. Before he completely sank back down into the depravity, he shed some tears, which spattered down onto the ruins of the Wang Clan. Perhaps years later, a field of blood colored flowers would bloom in that very spot….\nHe raised his head and let out a mournful, bitter laugh. Then he turned into a bright beam of light that shot off into the distance.\nHenceforth, there was no Wang Clan in the lands of South Heaven. In its place, a lunatic existed who constantly raved about Immortal Ascension. Of course, few people dared to provoke the madman.\nThat was because… he was halfway into Immortal Ascension. He possessed Immortal qi and only needed to pass through Immortal Tribulation to become a true Immortal!\nUnfortunately, his soul was not complete, and he was eternally sunken into depravity. His day of Immortal Tribulation would never come.\nIn the depths of the Second Ring of the Milky Way Sea was an enormous Resurrection Lily, drifting back and forth in the water. It was impossible to see the number of colors, but what could be seen was the figure of a woman sitting on the flower. She almost seemed to be using the petals as a swing as she swayed back and forth.\n“In the League of Demon Sealers, the Ninth is the pinnacle. It seems the league… is broken.”\nOutside the Fourth Ring of the Milky Way Sea, an island sped across the surface of the water. Suddenly, a tremor ran through it, and it stopped moving. After a long, long moment, an enormous head rose up out of the sea and looked off into the distance.\n“The little bastard is full of schemes and wickedness. He’s dead? Good! Great! Wonderf… wait, he died?!?!” He head quivered slightly. Patriarch Reliance wanted to feel happy, but for some reason, he actually wasn’t.\n“Dead…. Dammit, who killed him? He’s the Patriarch’s only Inner Sect disciple! The little bastard is endlessly scheming, how could he have died?!?!”\nOn the island, Guyiding Tri-rain also seemed to have sensed something, and her face paled. She leaned up against the old Boat Spirit, sorrow filling her eyes.\n“Didn’t you promise me that you would help me turn into a sea…? You broke your promise….”\nIn the lands of the Southern Domain, in the Violet Fate Sect, Pill Demon was smiling as he concocted a batch of pills especially for Meng Hao. Recently, he’d gotten the feeling that Master and apprentice would be reunited before too long.\nHe wanted to finish concocting the special batch of pills before they met in person. However, it was in that moment that the pill furnace suddenly exploded. Pill Demon suddenly seemed to age by hundreds of years. He silently looked off into the distance for a long, long time.\nChu Yuyan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, practicing cultivation in her Immortal’s cave. Then, for some unknown reason, her heart suddenly felt troubled. Her eyes opened, and she looked up into the night sky. A shooting star flew by.\n“When I was young, my dad always said that when you see a shooting star, it means someone just perished.”\nIn the Black Sieve Sect, Xu Qing sat with eyes closed, seeking enlightenment of a Daoist magic she had acquired in the Demon Immortal Sect. Suddenly, a tremor ran through her body, and her eyes opened. Her face was deathly pale, and she lifted her hand up to her chest.\nAn intense, uneasy feeling made her suddenly stop cultivating. She walked out of her Immortal’s cave, her face growing even more ashen.\n“Pain. This is the second time I’ve felt pain like this…. The first time was the time by the Rebirth Cave.\n“Meng Hao, is it you? What… happened? Why am I suddenly so frightened?” Xu Qing didn’t know why, but she suddenly found herself weeping. She didn’t dare to think too deeply about her sudden premonition. Trembling, she flew up into the sky.\nAlthough she didn’t know the source of the feeling, for some reason she looked toward the Milky Way Sea and then began flying.\nOn that day, Fatty was very irritable. He violently lost his temper countless times in the Golden Frost Sect, although he wasn’t sure why.\nOn that day, Chen Fan killed. Although he looked calm, deep in his heart existed a boundless desire to slaughter. He flew out of the sect and killed numerous villainous cultivators.\nOn that day in the Northern Reaches, a Blood cultivator rose to prominence. Acting alone, he slaughtered an entire small-scale sect, then occupied the location. He was young, but unfeeling and coldblooded. In his blood-soaked hands, he held a magical item, a pearl. The young man had a name, too. Dong Hu. [2. Dong Hu, a.k.a. Little Tiger, was another of the group of four boys who joined the Reliance Sect at the same time. Meng Hao encountered him again in chapter 71, where he had a pearl. During Meng Hao’s fight with Shangguan Xiu in chapter 75, Dong Hu loaned him the pearl, which allowed Meng Hao to temporarily break into the tenth level of Qi Condensation. Meng Hao returned the pearl to him in chapter 76. You might also be able to deduce that the pearl was even alluded to vaguely in chapter 19. In chapter 613, Meng Hao saw a similar pearl in the Fourth Plane of the Demon Immortal Sect]\nOn that day, in the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands, in a tall tower, a husband and wife got into an argument the likes of which was virtually unprecedented. The woman eventually stormed off, her eyes filled with tears. The man looked silently off into the distance. There was no one to see it, but tears streamed down his face.\nXu Qing arrived in the Milky Way Sea. No matter how she searched, she found nothing. An entire sixty-year cycle passed before she silently picked an area on the border of the Southern Domain where she sat down to meditate. Every day she would look out at the Milky Way Sea. She had the feeling that out there somewhere, was Meng Hao.\nIt was only a feeling, but she believed it.\nAs for the couple who had argued, the woman also reached the Milky Way Sea. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she went to the Third Ring, to the Second Ring, to everywhere. She found nothing. She searched and searched, and even fought a battle with the Dawn Immortal in the Second Ring.\nThe battle shook Heaven and Earth. All of the Sea Devils in the Second Ring were killed, and black seawater spread out to cover the entire Third Ring. Heaven and Earth grew dark, and as for who won the battle, and who lost, nobody knew.\nIn the Inner Ring of the Milky Way Sea, the water was red. An ancient battleship floated across the surface of the water, at the prow of which sat an old man in a suit of armor. He sat there cross-legged, apparently looking off into the distance. It was impossible to tell what exactly he was looking at.\nNext to the old man rested a body. It was a man with no hair or eyebrows; he was completely shriveled up. Wrinkles covered his skin, and he looked as if he had just climbed up out of a grave. The entire body stank of putrefaction.\nHe had no right arm, and a gaping hole could be seen in his chest, where there existed… no heart whatsoever.\nA flame burned above him, casting out a gentle light that covered over his body. As the light was cast out, it transformed into glittering dots, within each of which could be seen flickering, incomprehensible magical symbols. Oh so slowly, those dots of light bored into the hole in Meng Hao’s chest.\nInside of Meng Hao’s chest, the flesh and blood writhed, as if it were slowly growing.\nThe years seemed as if they would flow by in this manner forever, and because they were in the Inner Ring of the Milky Way Sea, there was no one who could find the ancient ship, or Meng Hao.\nOn one particular day, the armored old man slowly opened his eyes. Hidden within them were the sun, the moon, and the stars. Endless years of time permeated those eyes, as if the man could see into their boundless depths.\nHe turned his head, and his abstruse gaze fell onto Meng Hao.\nWhen that happened, Meng Hao’s body seemed to experience the passing of thousands of years. The fire burned intensely, emitting more crystalline dots of light that merged into the hole in his chest. The wriggling of the blood and flesh increased, and soon the healing process was visible to the naked eye. A new heart formed, and the wounds were healed. Even the bones and flesh of the right arm slowly began to grow out.\nIn what seemed like the blink of an eye, Meng Hao was completely restored. Not a wound could be seen on him. However… his hair was pure white, and he looked incredibly old, as if he were an elderly man.\nWeakness radiated out from him as he opened his eyes.\nHis eyes were filled with confusion. He lay there thinking for a long time before memories started to trickle into his brain. He thought of the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch, and how he had chosen to end in common ruin with him rather than give up his freedom. In the end, he had landed a sword blow on the Wang Patriarch’s soul!\n“My cultivation base….” He closed his eyes and cast his senses inward. After a while, he slowly rose into a sitting position and looked at the armored old man, who sat with his back to him. The old man seemed as if he would sit on this ship for all eternity as it roamed about.\nMeng Hao clasped hands and bowed deeply. “Senior, thank you for your kindness in saving my life!”"

第683章
他甘愿沉沦！
为了成仙！
为了不死！ 王家第十祖流下眼泪，仰天嘶吼时，他的眼再次通红，他的心已没了，可族人的感觉还在，对族人的亲情还在，可这……都一去，无法回头。
后悔么，他不知道，他唯有吞噬，吞噬他血脉至亲的魂魄，只有这样的魂魄，才可以去挽救他的生命。 他只能……这么做！
为了成仙！ 王家第十祖沙哑嘶吼，意识模糊，陷入疯狂，杀杀杀！
他不知杀了多少人，不知吞了多少同族，南域王家第三座城池，一夜之间，所有王家血脉，全部死亡。
埋葬历代先祖的山脉，轰鸣崩溃，那七个老者哪怕修为一样不俗，但与这一刻具备仙气，拥有了完美道基的王家第十祖比较，不是对手。
一一死亡！ 山脉崩溃，天地轰鸣，王家……在南天大地的根基，在这一夜之间，连根拔起，这是灭族！
他是第十祖，是南天大地上，存活最久的老祖，是修为最高的老祖，是所有王家族人心目中的神灵。
可如今，神灵成魔，杀戮滔天，在这杀戮中，他苏醒了三次。
第一次，是他杀了自己的弟弟，一同陪伴他多少岁月的亲弟弟，王家十一祖，他亲手抽出了十一祖的魂，流着眼泪，癫笑中吞入口中。
最喜爱的一个晚辈，在这晚辈哭喊着老祖饶命时，他亲手捏碎了他的头骨。 红白满手，魂魄入口。
第三次。 是整个世界，都安静了，在他的脚下，在他的四周，一片残骸，没有一个活人时，他苏醒了。
只是，这苏醒。 也仅仅是几个呼吸，就再次陷入了疯狂，他的身体已不再有伤势，早已痊愈，只是他的魂……永恒的消失了两魂三魄。
只剩下了一魂四魄。
这是南天大地，王家所有族人的生命，换来的结果，他的确没有魂飞魄散死亡，但……只有一魂四魄的他，这一生。
也不会有几次苏醒。 大多的时间，都是陷入疯狂，陷入杀戮。
他仰天发出凄厉的惨笑，整个人化作了一道长虹，冲向远处。
从此之后，南天大地。 多了一个疯子，一个喊着成仙的疯子，只是很少有人敢去招惹这个疯子。
因为他……已半步成仙，他的身体上，已诞生了仙气，只差最后的仙劫，他就可以成为真仙！
可他魂魄不全，永世沉沦，不会有仙劫一天。
天河海，二环海底的深处，有一朵庞大的彼岸花，在缓缓摇曳，看不清是几色，只能模糊的看到，似有一个女子的身影，坐在花瓣上，好似将花瓣当成秋千，晃来晃去。
“封妖一脉，九为极致，这一脉……已断了。”
天河海，四环开外，在海面快速疾驰的一座岛屿，突然震动了一下，猛然间停顿下来，沉默了很久很久，一颗庞大的头颅，缓缓从海面伸出，看向远方。
！” 这庞大的头颅，微微颤抖，他觉得自己应该高兴的，可却不知道为什么，这一刻，他没有高兴。
“死了……该死的，是谁杀了他，他是老祖我唯一的内门弟子，这小王八蛋狡猾多端，怎么会死！ ！”
岛屿上，古乙丁三雨，似冥冥有察，面色苍白，轻轻地靠在了一旁船灵老者的背上，目中露出悲伤。
“你不是答应我，要帮我化海么……你不守承诺。”
南域大地，紫云宗内，丹鬼正带着微笑，炼制一炉丹药，这是他专门为他的弟子孟浩炼制，他已感应到，师徒或许不久之后，就要相见。
他要在相见前，炼出这炉丹，可这一刻，丹炉轰然炸开，丹鬼整个人，瞬间苍老了百年，他默默地抬起头，看着远方，许久，许久。
楚玉嫣正在闭目打坐，于她的洞府内修行，可这一瞬，她不知怎么了，心中很是不安，睁开双眼时，她看到了夜空里，一颗流星飞过。
“小时候爹爹说过，一颗流星，代表有人陨落。”
青罗宗内，许清正闭目感悟在妖仙宗获得的道法，此刻身体猛地颤抖，睁开眼时，她面色惨白，右手抬起按着胸口。
强烈的不安，让她无心修行，走出洞府时，她面色越发苍白起来。
“刺痛，这是我第二次心中刺痛……第一次，是在往生洞。”
“孟浩，是你么……你发生了什么事情，为何我忽然很害怕。” 许清不知道为什么，忽然很想哭，这种感觉来的突然，可她不敢去深想，她颤抖中立刻飞起，直奔天空而去。
循着内心的感觉，她不知道方向，但她相信自己的感觉，向着天河海的方向，疾驰而去。
这一天，小胖子脾气极为暴躁，在金寒宗内，他发了无数的邪火，他也不知道为什么。
这一天，陈凡杀人了，他神色看似平静，可内心的深处，却出现了无数的杀机，他外出宗门，杀了众多凶修。
这一天，血妖宗的王有财，修为突破到了元婴境界，但他没有喜悦，而是看向曾经赵国的方向，他想到了童年，想到了曾经的伙伴。 这一天，北地内，有一个血修崛起，以一人之力，灭杀了一个小型的宗门，直接占据，那是一个青年，一个冷酷无情，满手血腥的青年，他有一个法宝，是一颗珠子，他有一个名字，叫做董虎。
这一天，东土大唐内，高楼中，那对夫妻第一次发生了前所未有的争吵，在那争吵中，女子含泪，蓦然远去，男子默默抬头，在无人能看到中，流下了泪水。
时间，慢慢的流逝。 天河海上，许清来了，什么也没有找到，在这里她找了一甲子的岁月，最终，在靠近南域的地方，她默默的在那里打坐，每天看着天河海，她能感觉到，孟浩在那里。
这只是感觉，但她相信。
那与夫君大吵一架的女子，流着眼泪，也来到了天河海，去了三环，去了二环，去了所有的区域，什么也都没有找到，她找了很久很久，在二环深处，与黎仙一战。
那一战，惊天动地，二环海魔全部死亡，黑色的海水覆盖了三环，天地失色，那一战，谁胜谁负，无人知晓。
天河海上，内环中，海水是红色的，一艘古老的战舟，漂浮在海面，舟船上一个老者穿着铠甲，盘膝坐在那里，似望着远方，没有人知道他在看着什么。
在老者的身边，躺着一个人，没有头发，没有眉毛，全身枯萎，满是皱纹，仿佛刚刚从坟墓里爬出，全身更是腐烂。
甚至没有了右手，胸口处，有一个大洞，他一样……没有了心。
一团火，漂浮在他的身体上，散发温和之意，光芒笼罩他的身体，化作点点晶光，那每一寸光芒内，都有无数个闪烁的复杂难懂的微小符文，渐渐钻入孟浩的胸口处。
可以看到，在孟浩的胸口内，血肉在慢慢蠕动，似在缓缓生长。
岁月，似乎可以这样一直流逝下去，在这天河海内环中，没有人可以找到这艘古老的舟船，也就无人可以找到舟船上的孟浩。
直至这一日，穿着铠甲的老者，他的双眼慢慢的睁开，在他的目中，藏着日月星辰，蕴含无尽岁月，仿佛一眼看去，可以看到无尽的苍茫。
他回过头，以他深邃的目光，看了一眼孟浩。
这一眼看去，好似时光在孟浩身上，瞬间流失了千百年，那团火剧烈的燃烧，散发出更多的晶点，一一融入孟浩的胸口处，血肉的蠕动，也加快了无数倍，肉眼可见的愈合，长出了新的心脏，抚平全部的伤口，就连右手，也在骨与肉之中，生长起来。
一切，或许也就是一眼的时间，孟浩的整个身体，就恢复如常，看不出丝毫的伤势，唯独……他的头发成为了白色，他的样子保持着沧桑，仿佛成为了一个暮年的老者。
一股虚弱之意，在他的身上散出时，孟浩睁开了眼。
他的目中有些茫然，想了很久，才慢慢的将所有的记忆都浮现在脑海里，他想到了王家第十祖，想到了自己为了自在，宁可同归于尽，最终一剑斩了王家第十祖的魂！
“我的修为……”孟浩闭上眼，感受着自己的身体，许久之后，孟浩默默地坐起，看向背对着自己的……穿着铠甲，仿佛永恒随着舟船漂流的老人。
“谢谢前辈救命之恩！” 孟浩抱拳，很深一拜。

Chapter 683: Henceforth
He was willing to sink into depravity!
All to avoid death!
Tears streamed down the face of the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch. He howled, and his eyes were completely bloodshot. He no longer even had a heart, but he still felt a sense of belonging to the clan and the bonds of kinship toward his fellow clan members. But now… it was too late to turn back.
Regret? He did not know the meaning of the term. He could only consume. Consume the souls of his own bloodline. Only those souls could save his life.
The 10th Wang Clan Patriarch howled hoarsely as his consciousness grew murky. He slipped further into madness. KILL! KILL! KILL!
He had no idea how many people he killed, nor how many souls of fellow clan members he consumed. In one night, all the members of the Wang Clan in the clan’s third city… died.
The Patriarchs buried in the various mountain ranges were destroyed amidst rumbling booms. The seven Patriarchs had incredible cultivation bases, but the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch now possessed Immortal qi, as well as a Perfect Dao foundation. They simply couldn’t compare to him, and were no match at all.
One by one, they all died! Mountains crumbled, and everything shook. In one night, the Wang Clan’s entire foundation in the lands of South Heaven… was uprooted. This was genocide!
He was the 10th Patriarch, who had existed for ages in the lands of South Heaven. He was the Patriarch with the highest cultivation base in the clan, a person the clan members looked up to like a god.
But on that day, the god became a devil, and carnage reigned. During the massacre, he regained lucidity three times.
The first time was when he killed his younger brother, the 11th Wang Clan Patriarch who had stayed by his side for countless years. He ripped his soul out, then, tears streaming down his face, laughed maniacally and consumed it.
The second time was when he killed his most beloved member of the junior generation. The man cried, begging the Patriarch to spare his life. He crushed the man’s skull, then, his hand still covered with blood and brain, grabbed the soul and consumed it.
The third time was when the world had grown completely silent. Beneath his feet was nothing but wreckage and bodies. No living person existed. At that point, he regained clarity.
However, that clarity only lasted for a few breaths of time. Then he slipped back into madness. By this point, his body was no longer injured. He was recovered. However, the souls that he had lost… would remain forever lost. Two spiritual aspects and three physical aspects were gone forever.
He now had only one spiritual aspect and four physical aspects.
This was a result bought by the lives of all the Wang Clan members in the lands of South Heaven. His soul did not dissipate, and he did not die. However… with only one spiritual aspect and four physical aspects to his soul, who knew if and when he would ever become lucid again.
For the most part, he was descended into madness and carnage. Before he completely sank back down into the depravity, he shed some tears, which spattered down onto the ruins of the Wang Clan. Perhaps years later, a field of blood colored flowers would bloom in that very spot….
He raised his head and let out a mournful, bitter laugh. Then he turned into a bright beam of light that shot off into the distance.
Henceforth, there was no Wang Clan in the lands of South Heaven. In its place, a lunatic existed who constantly raved about Immortal Ascension. Of course, few people dared to provoke the madman.
That was because… he was halfway into Immortal Ascension. He possessed Immortal qi and only needed to pass through Immortal Tribulation to become a true Immortal!
Unfortunately, his soul was not complete, and he was eternally sunken into depravity. His day of Immortal Tribulation would never come.
In the depths of the Second Ring of the Milky Way Sea was an enormous Resurrection Lily, drifting back and forth in the water. It was impossible to see the number of colors, but what could be seen was the figure of a woman sitting on the flower. She almost seemed to be using the petals as a swing as she swayed back and forth.
“In the League of Demon Sealers, the Ninth is the pinnacle. It seems the league… is broken.”
Outside the Fourth Ring of the Milky Way Sea, an island sped across the surface of the water. Suddenly, a tremor ran through it, and it stopped moving. After a long, long moment, an enormous head rose up out of the sea and looked off into the distance.
“The little bastard is full of schemes and wickedness. He’s dead? Good! Great! Wonderf… wait, he died?!?!” He head quivered slightly. Patriarch Reliance wanted to feel happy, but for some reason, he actually wasn’t.
“Dead…. Dammit, who killed him? He’s the Patriarch’s only Inner Sect disciple! The little bastard is endlessly scheming, how could he have died?!?!”
On the island, Guyiding Tri-rain also seemed to have sensed something, and her face paled. She leaned up against the old Boat Spirit, sorrow filling her eyes.
“Didn’t you promise me that you would help me turn into a sea…? You broke your promise….”
In the lands of the Southern Domain, in the Violet Fate Sect, Pill Demon was smiling as he concocted a batch of pills especially for Meng Hao. Recently, he’d gotten the feeling that Master and apprentice would be reunited before too long.
He wanted to finish concocting the special batch of pills before they met in person. However, it was in that moment that the pill furnace suddenly exploded. Pill Demon suddenly seemed to age by hundreds of years. He silently looked off into the distance for a long, long time.
Chu Yuyan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, practicing cultivation in her Immortal’s cave. Then, for some unknown reason, her heart suddenly felt troubled. Her eyes opened, and she looked up into the night sky. A shooting star flew by.
“When I was young, my dad always said that when you see a shooting star, it means someone just perished.”
In the Black Sieve Sect, Xu Qing sat with eyes closed, seeking enlightenment of a Daoist magic she had acquired in the Demon Immortal Sect. Suddenly, a tremor ran through her body, and her eyes opened. Her face was deathly pale, and she lifted her hand up to her chest.
An intense, uneasy feeling made her suddenly stop cultivating. She walked out of her Immortal’s cave, her face growing even more ashen.
“Pain. This is the second time I’ve felt pain like this…. The first time was the time by the Rebirth Cave.
“Meng Hao, is it you? What… happened? Why am I suddenly so frightened?” Xu Qing didn’t know why, but she suddenly found herself weeping. She didn’t dare to think too deeply about her sudden premonition. Trembling, she flew up into the sky.
Although she didn’t know the source of the feeling, for some reason she looked toward the Milky Way Sea and then began flying.
On that day, Fatty was very irritable. He violently lost his temper countless times in the Golden Frost Sect, although he wasn’t sure why.
On that day, Chen Fan killed. Although he looked calm, deep in his heart existed a boundless desire to slaughter. He flew out of the sect and killed numerous villainous cultivators.
On that day in the Northern Reaches, a Blood cultivator rose to prominence. Acting alone, he slaughtered an entire small-scale sect, then occupied the location. He was young, but unfeeling and coldblooded. In his blood-soaked hands, he held a magical item, a pearl. The young man had a name, too. Dong Hu. [2. Dong Hu, a.k.a. Little Tiger, was another of the group of four boys who joined the Reliance Sect at the same time. Meng Hao encountered him again in chapter 71, where he had a pearl. During Meng Hao’s fight with Shangguan Xiu in chapter 75, Dong Hu loaned him the pearl, which allowed Meng Hao to temporarily break into the tenth level of Qi Condensation. Meng Hao returned the pearl to him in chapter 76. You might also be able to deduce that the pearl was even alluded to vaguely in chapter 19. In chapter 613, Meng Hao saw a similar pearl in the Fourth Plane of the Demon Immortal Sect]
On that day, in the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands, in a tall tower, a husband and wife got into an argument the likes of which was virtually unprecedented. The woman eventually stormed off, her eyes filled with tears. The man looked silently off into the distance. There was no one to see it, but tears streamed down his face.
Xu Qing arrived in the Milky Way Sea. No matter how she searched, she found nothing. An entire sixty-year cycle passed before she silently picked an area on the border of the Southern Domain where she sat down to meditate. Every day she would look out at the Milky Way Sea. She had the feeling that out there somewhere, was Meng Hao.
It was only a feeling, but she believed it.
As for the couple who had argued, the woman also reached the Milky Way Sea. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she went to the Third Ring, to the Second Ring, to everywhere. She found nothing. She searched and searched, and even fought a battle with the Dawn Immortal in the Second Ring.
The battle shook Heaven and Earth. All of the Sea Devils in the Second Ring were killed, and black seawater spread out to cover the entire Third Ring. Heaven and Earth grew dark, and as for who won the battle, and who lost, nobody knew.
In the Inner Ring of the Milky Way Sea, the water was red. An ancient battleship floated across the surface of the water, at the prow of which sat an old man in a suit of armor. He sat there cross-legged, apparently looking off into the distance. It was impossible to tell what exactly he was looking at.
Next to the old man rested a body. It was a man with no hair or eyebrows; he was completely shriveled up. Wrinkles covered his skin, and he looked as if he had just climbed up out of a grave. The entire body stank of putrefaction.
He had no right arm, and a gaping hole could be seen in his chest, where there existed… no heart whatsoever.
A flame burned above him, casting out a gentle light that covered over his body. As the light was cast out, it transformed into glittering dots, within each of which could be seen flickering, incomprehensible magical symbols. Oh so slowly, those dots of light bored into the hole in Meng Hao’s chest.
Inside of Meng Hao’s chest, the flesh and blood writhed, as if it were slowly growing.
The years seemed as if they would flow by in this manner forever, and because they were in the Inner Ring of the Milky Way Sea, there was no one who could find the ancient ship, or Meng Hao.
On one particular day, the armored old man slowly opened his eyes. Hidden within them were the sun, the moon, and the stars. Endless years of time permeated those eyes, as if the man could see into their boundless depths.
He turned his head, and his abstruse gaze fell onto Meng Hao.
When that happened, Meng Hao’s body seemed to experience the passing of thousands of years. The fire burned intensely, emitting more crystalline dots of light that merged into the hole in his chest. The wriggling of the blood and flesh increased, and soon the healing process was visible to the naked eye. A new heart formed, and the wounds were healed. Even the bones and flesh of the right arm slowly began to grow out.
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, Meng Hao was completely restored. Not a wound could be seen on him. However… his hair was pure white, and he looked incredibly old, as if he were an elderly man.
Weakness radiated out from him as he opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with confusion. He lay there thinking for a long time before memories started to trickle into his brain. He thought of the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch, and how he had chosen to end in common ruin with him rather than give up his freedom. In the end, he had landed a sword blow on the Wang Patriarch’s soul!
“My cultivation base….” He closed his eyes and cast his senses inward. After a while, he slowly rose into a sitting position and looked at the armored old man, who sat with his back to him. The old man seemed as if he would sit on this ship for all eternity as it roamed about.
Meng Hao clasped hands and bowed deeply. “Senior, thank you for your kindness in saving my life!”

"value": "Chapter 308\nC308 – AscensionPosted on November 22, 2018 by AzureOrchid92What kind of person was the king of Luoye City? Shao Xuan had not seen him since he came to this city, and he had learned very little from other people. What he knew was only what was generally known to all.\nBefore Shao Xuan separated from Su Gu, what he told him was, in fact, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast. The Flaming Horns tribe lived in the Ferocious Beast Mountain forest, this Su Gu knew. He then felt that Shao Xuan could determine the weakness of the Quicksand Beast probably because the tribe often came in contact with fierce beasts. He had not much doubt for Shao Xuan. Even if there was, he would not volunteer to ask since their two sides was in a cooperative relationship. As long as everyone was favorable, it was not necessary to divulge each other’s secrets.\nSu Gu intended to have the sand beast as one of his birthday gifts to the king, adding to that “stone” Su Gu liked. For Su Gu, those were already very good gifts, but, in order to be able to get more chips, Shao Xuan informing him of the weakness of the sand beast could also be sent up as one of the birthday gifts. This was even more important than the Quicksand Beast. After all, the cost of killing a Quicksand Beast was too high, and it was different to know its weakness and then kill it.\nThe slave owners of Luoye City have learned how to lure a Quicksand Beast. Therefore, this message given by Shao Xuan would undoubtedly reduce their wear and tear to a great extent.\nAs to whether the king would attribute the killing of the sand beast to Shao Xuan’s group, that would be for Su Gu to solve.\nBack to their residence in the city, Shao Xuan carefully recalled the anomaly with the appearance of the sand beast. With his many years of hunting experience, he understood that the sand beast seemed to have been angered, and not necessarily by the second young master’s people. The timing was just right, and there was a sense of a diversion with some of the oasis guards leaving when the Quicksand Beast came.\nWas that a coincidence? Shao Xuan didn’t think so.\nThinking of the words Ai Shi had said before, Shao Xuan could not help but think of Dao Yu, now a slave under a White Rock City slave owner.\nPutting aside the other things, Dao Yu was a ruthless man. Shao Xuan was not worried, and did not fear him but he was still a great threat to the Flaming Horns tribe.\nThe next day, Su Gu came to the tribe’s “embassy” to find Shao Xuan.\nShao Xuan checked on the appearance of the third young master. Although he looked tired, his eyes was bright with joy.\n“It seems to have gone well.” Shao Xuan said.\n“Yes, you’re right!” Su Gu did not go into detail of what happened after in the palace. However, he still told Shao Xuan that his second brother was punished by the king. Those slaves who had pulled the Quicksand Beast to the oasis were also executed. Meanwhile, Su Gu, because he had presented a good gift, was rewarded. Before the king could offer him any possible benefits, Su Gu proposed to have an unclaimed slave. After some astonishment, the Luoye City king still agreed.\n“What was the reason for the Quicksand Beast’s madness? Did you find out?” Shao Xuan asked.\n“From what I heard from the oasis guards who looked for the suspicious characters, it might be those from White Rock City who made the Quicksand Beast crazy. Su Lei’s slaves were disturbed when they were hunting and trapping the Quicksand Beast. They really thought they would fail and have heavy losses. But, as father said, a failure is a failure. There is no excuse, so he had Su Lei reflect this time.”\n“Was it related to Dao Yu?” Shao Xuan asked.\n“I don’t know.” Frankly, Su Gu’s own hands and manpower were limited, so he could not find out more.\n“However, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast that you talked about made father really happy. If you did not know the weakness of the beast, we will have to worry about the White Rock people doing another trouble like this with a crazy sand beast. But now that we know, father was instead hoping for a few to appear so that we can kill more. Father will have clothes made with the Quicksand Beast, and a new crown.” The smile on Su Gu’s face as he said this was bigger. “Father agreed to let me follow him, so I could improve more. I had not done that except when I was young.”\nBecause he had no slaves of his own, Su Gu had been excluded from the big events. The desert has an annual tournament at a Colosseum where the first young master, Su Ka and second young master, Su Lei had taken a number of their bouts. Now, Su Gu also got such an opportunity.\n“I also told him about your proposal, and you’ll go with me,” said Su Gu.\nThis was a good news for Shao Xuan.\n“Did you pick a slave?” Shao Xuan asked.\n“My father has allowed me to pick out twenty of them. I had already chosen some slaves, and he said that we’re still waiting for the next batch of slaves to come to let me continue picking.” Su Gu said excitedly.\n“Have you done the slavery on them?” Shao Xuan asked.\nWhen it came to the enslavement, Su Gu’s excitement slightly fell. “I tried to enslave three, but only succeeded on one.”\nIf slavery failed, Shao Xuan knew what would happen, so he didn’t ask what happened to the other two.\nSu Gu’s face was filled with ridicule. But one would not know if it was self-deprecating or taunting others. “I’ll tell you. When I went to pick the slaves, those slaves were like they were already seeing their death, like the ones that I picked will die. But when Su Ka appeared, those people seemed to have seen hope.”\nThe witnesses knew that the third young master was dissatified with those slaves’ reactions, but he should accept the reality. Although he had one success out of three, compared to other people with nearly ninety percent success rate, he was obviously lacking.\n“I’ll practice it again.” Su Gu began to spontaneously mobilize the strength of his body, stretching out the palm of his has as the blue flames appeared.\nShao Xuan looked at Su Gu who had entered into his training state. He did not disturb him, and instead observed the flames in his mind again. There was a flame that belonged Su Gu, with the boundary between the red and the blue flames was already very clear. The two flames gathered together, intertwining while Su Gu was in training of enslavement. Among the flames, the blue one was unusually active.\nAs Su Gu could get benefit from Shao Xuan here, Shao Xuan could actually also get benefit. The most direct reaction was that tgere were more blue flames rising fron the totem belonging to the Flaming Horns tribe in his mind.\nAfter half a day, at the end of his practice, Su Gu felt that his power of slavery had improved. He believed that today, when he went back to his slavery, he could be more fluent, and could successfully enslave more people.\n“After being shackled, was the slave’s ascension limited?” Shao Xuan asked.\n“That’s basically the case.” Su Gu replied.\n“Was there a special case?”\n“It is said that there are some, but it was very little. People who can break through the shackles was certainly very scary.”\nAfter Su Gu left, Shao Xuan mobilized the power of the totem in his body. The dark flame-like pattern was now over two-thirds of his forearm, closer to his wrist. Before leaving the tribe, the totem lines on Shao Xuan’s arm showed that there was not so much, but after his experiences in the rain tribe and the things here, his totem lines went one step further.\nFor a totem warrior of the Flaming Horns tribe, the display of the totem lines was the most direct proof of their strength.

第三零八章
落叶城的王是个什么样的人，邵玄来到落叶城之后尚未见过他，也极少从其他人口中得知更多，所知道的，也都是大家都知道的东西。
邵玄在与苏古分开之前，跟他所说的话，其实就是流沙兽的弱点。 炎角人住在凶兽山林，这个苏古知道，也觉得邵玄之所以能够说出流沙兽的弱点，大概是经常与凶兽接触的原因，对于邵玄并没有多少怀疑，就算有，他也不会问出来，双方是合作关系，只要对大家都有利即可，至于其他的隐秘，不提又何妨？
苏古打算将那只流沙兽当做生辰礼之一送给落叶王，再加上那颗苏古非常喜欢的“石头”，在苏古看来，已经是很不错的礼物了，但是，为了能够得到更多的筹码，邵玄将流沙兽的弱点告知苏古，这也能够作为生辰礼之一送上去，甚至，这个比流沙兽更加重要。 毕竟，捕杀一只流沙兽所需要的代价太高，而知道弱点后再去捕杀，那就不同了。
落叶城的奴隶主们已经懂得如何引诱出一只流沙兽，而邵玄给出的这条信息，无疑能够很大程度上减少耗损。
至于落叶王是否会将此次流沙兽之前的异常归因到邵玄三人身上，那就得苏古去解决了。
回到城内的居住地点之后，邵玄仔细回想了一下流沙兽所出现后的异常，以他多年的狩猎经验来看，那只流沙兽似乎被激怒过，并不一定是那位二少主的人，而是其他人。 而且，时机也掐得正好，颇有一种调虎离山计的感觉，绿洲的守卫一离开。
真是巧合？ 邵玄不那么认为。
想到赤石之前所说的话，邵玄不由得想起了据说在白石城给奴隶主当奴隶的刀臾。
心狠手辣邵玄不担心，怕的就是不仅心狠。 还心眼多，对炎角是的极大的威胁。
次日，苏古过来炎角“使馆”找邵玄。
邵玄看了眼这位鳖三少主，虽然带着疲态，一副体力透支的样子，但眼神却带着喜意。
“看来事情进展很顺利。” 邵玄说道。
苏古并没有将进入宫殿之后的事情细说，但是他告诉邵玄，他二哥被落叶王批了一顿。 那几个将流沙兽引入绿洲的奴隶也被处死了好几个，而苏古却因为献上了不错的礼物，被嘉奖一番，之前被削减的福利全都补了回来不说，苏古提出要一批未认主的奴隶，落叶王在惊讶过后也同意了。
“流沙兽疯狂的原因是什么？ 你们查到了吗？”
邵玄问。 “听那些追踪可疑人物的绿洲守卫说，可能是白石城的人做的，就是不知道他们如何让流沙兽疯狂。 苏勒的奴隶在诱捕猎杀流沙兽的时候，也被人干扰了，他们才会失败。
“与刀臾有关？” 邵玄问。
“不知道。” 苏古实话实说，他自己手中的人力有限，不能打听到更多。
“不过，你所说的流沙兽的弱点倒是让父王非常开心。 若是不知道流沙兽的弱点，大家还要担心白石城的人将更多疯狂的流沙兽引过来惹麻烦，但现在知道了，父王反倒希望多出现几只，这样就能捕杀更多的了。 父王要用流沙兽制作衣服。
我还是在很小的时候跟着去过。” 因为没有自己的奴隶，苏古一直被排除在大事件之外，沙漠上一年一度的斗兽城集会，也都是大少主苏卡和二少主苏勒轮番跟过去，而现在，苏古得到了这样一个机会。
“你们的事情我也说了，到时候跟我一同过去。”
这对邵玄来说，确实是一个好消息。
“你挑好奴隶了？” 邵玄问。
“父王准许我挑了二十个。 这批奴隶已经被挑得差不多了，他说等下一批奴隶过来，再让我继续挑。” 苏古兴奋地道。
“都奴役完成了？” 邵玄问。
提到奴役，苏古兴奋的神色微敛，“我奴役了三个，只成功了一个。”
奴役失败就会没命，邵玄知道，所以并没有细问另外两个奴隶如何了。
苏古面带嘲笑，不知道是在自嘲还是在嘲讽他人，“你不知道我去挑奴隶的时候，那些奴隶就像是看到死亡了一般，似乎被我挑上的人都会没命。 倒是苏卡出现的时候，那些人像是见到了希望。
一声“嘁”就知道这位三少主对于那些奴隶的反应非常不满意，而现实也让这位破受打击，虽然三个中成功了一个，但相比起其他人近乎九成的成功率，他实在不够看。
“我再练习一下。” 说着苏古开始自发调动体内的力量，伸出的手掌掌心窜出蓝色的火苗。
邵玄看着已经进入训练状态的苏古，并未打扰，而是观察脑海之中再次出现的那个火焰。 那是属于苏古的火焰，火焰中红蓝双色的界限已经非常清晰，两种火焰各自聚集在一起，相互缠绕，而苏古在训练奴役的时候，火焰之中，蓝色的火焰异常活跃。
苏古能够从邵玄这里得到好处，而邵玄，其实也能得到益处，最直接的反应就是，属于炎角的图腾火焰那里，调动起来的蓝色火焰更多了。
半天后，结束练习，苏古觉得自己的奴役之力更加纯熟，相信今天回去再奴役的时候，能够更加通畅，能成功奴役更多的人。
“被锁住能力之后，奴隶的提升就被限制了？” 邵玄问。
“基本上是这样。” 苏古道。
“有特例？”
“据说也是有的，只是非常之少，而能够冲破桎梏的人，肯定也是非常可怕的。”
在苏古离开之后，邵玄调动体内的图腾之力，深色的火焰状纹路已经过了前臂的三分之二，离手腕更近了。 而在离开部落前，邵玄的手臂上的图腾纹显示，并没有这么多，只是，在经历雨部落和这里的事情之后，图腾纹又进了一步。
对于炎角的图腾战士来说，图腾纹的显示是最直接的实力证明。 手臂上的图腾纹过了手肘，就属于中级图腾战士之列，而越靠近手腕，就说明，离高级图腾战士更近。
“阿玄，其他部落那边有异动！”
邵玄三人在城内也时刻注意着其他部落人的动向，前段时间，这些部落的人都是时不时带队出城，据说是去沙漠历练了，隔几天再回来，而这一次，看上去动静更大。
雷将自己今天的发现跟邵玄说了说，“昨日，离城的人都回来了，而且在收拾东西，我还看到有人在赶制新的石器。 我以为是远行的时间到了，咱们得回去，但事实上并非如此，今天，天山部落和千面部落离城，其他部落也似乎都在准备离开，我听说回部落过两天也要出城，但并不是回去，而是前往沙漠。 阿玄，你说，他们要去哪里？”
若是要结束远行回到部落的话，不至于不通知炎角的人。 这帮人到底要去哪里？
沙漠上最近有什么事情发生？
邵玄想来想去，只想到了一件事——斗兽城。
一年一度的奴隶主们的狂欢盛宴，各个愿意参加的大奴隶主们会带着人前往斗兽城，而部落的其他人，或许想要趁此机会做点什么，这可能与那些人隐瞒的事情有关。
邵玄心中思量着，对雷和陀道：“不管其他部落的人是如何安排的，我们得准备一下，等落叶王的生辰一过，就得出发前往斗兽城了。”

Chapter 308
C308 – AscensionPosted on November 22, 2018 by AzureOrchid92What kind of person was the king of Luoye City? Shao Xuan had not seen him since he came to this city, and he had learned very little from other people. What he knew was only what was generally known to all.
Before Shao Xuan separated from Su Gu, what he told him was, in fact, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast. The Flaming Horns tribe lived in the Ferocious Beast Mountain forest, this Su Gu knew. He then felt that Shao Xuan could determine the weakness of the Quicksand Beast probably because the tribe often came in contact with fierce beasts. He had not much doubt for Shao Xuan. Even if there was, he would not volunteer to ask since their two sides was in a cooperative relationship. As long as everyone was favorable, it was not necessary to divulge each other’s secrets.
Su Gu intended to have the sand beast as one of his birthday gifts to the king, adding to that “stone” Su Gu liked. For Su Gu, those were already very good gifts, but, in order to be able to get more chips, Shao Xuan informing him of the weakness of the sand beast could also be sent up as one of the birthday gifts. This was even more important than the Quicksand Beast. After all, the cost of killing a Quicksand Beast was too high, and it was different to know its weakness and then kill it.
The slave owners of Luoye City have learned how to lure a Quicksand Beast. Therefore, this message given by Shao Xuan would undoubtedly reduce their wear and tear to a great extent.
As to whether the king would attribute the killing of the sand beast to Shao Xuan’s group, that would be for Su Gu to solve.
Back to their residence in the city, Shao Xuan carefully recalled the anomaly with the appearance of the sand beast. With his many years of hunting experience, he understood that the sand beast seemed to have been angered, and not necessarily by the second young master’s people. The timing was just right, and there was a sense of a diversion with some of the oasis guards leaving when the Quicksand Beast came.
Was that a coincidence? Shao Xuan didn’t think so.
Thinking of the words Ai Shi had said before, Shao Xuan could not help but think of Dao Yu, now a slave under a White Rock City slave owner.
Putting aside the other things, Dao Yu was a ruthless man. Shao Xuan was not worried, and did not fear him but he was still a great threat to the Flaming Horns tribe.
The next day, Su Gu came to the tribe’s “embassy” to find Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan checked on the appearance of the third young master. Although he looked tired, his eyes was bright with joy.
“It seems to have gone well.” Shao Xuan said.
“Yes, you’re right!” Su Gu did not go into detail of what happened after in the palace. However, he still told Shao Xuan that his second brother was punished by the king. Those slaves who had pulled the Quicksand Beast to the oasis were also executed. Meanwhile, Su Gu, because he had presented a good gift, was rewarded. Before the king could offer him any possible benefits, Su Gu proposed to have an unclaimed slave. After some astonishment, the Luoye City king still agreed.
“What was the reason for the Quicksand Beast’s madness? Did you find out?” Shao Xuan asked.
“From what I heard from the oasis guards who looked for the suspicious characters, it might be those from White Rock City who made the Quicksand Beast crazy. Su Lei’s slaves were disturbed when they were hunting and trapping the Quicksand Beast. They really thought they would fail and have heavy losses. But, as father said, a failure is a failure. There is no excuse, so he had Su Lei reflect this time.”
“Was it related to Dao Yu?” Shao Xuan asked.
“I don’t know.” Frankly, Su Gu’s own hands and manpower were limited, so he could not find out more.
“However, the weakness of the Quicksand Beast that you talked about made father really happy. If you did not know the weakness of the beast, we will have to worry about the White Rock people doing another trouble like this with a crazy sand beast. But now that we know, father was instead hoping for a few to appear so that we can kill more. Father will have clothes made with the Quicksand Beast, and a new crown.” The smile on Su Gu’s face as he said this was bigger. “Father agreed to let me follow him, so I could improve more. I had not done that except when I was young.”
Because he had no slaves of his own, Su Gu had been excluded from the big events. The desert has an annual tournament at a Colosseum where the first young master, Su Ka and second young master, Su Lei had taken a number of their bouts. Now, Su Gu also got such an opportunity.
“I also told him about your proposal, and you’ll go with me,” said Su Gu.
This was a good news for Shao Xuan.
“Did you pick a slave?” Shao Xuan asked.
“My father has allowed me to pick out twenty of them. I had already chosen some slaves, and he said that we’re still waiting for the next batch of slaves to come to let me continue picking.” Su Gu said excitedly.
“Have you done the slavery on them?” Shao Xuan asked.
When it came to the enslavement, Su Gu’s excitement slightly fell. “I tried to enslave three, but only succeeded on one.”
If slavery failed, Shao Xuan knew what would happen, so he didn’t ask what happened to the other two.
Su Gu’s face was filled with ridicule. But one would not know if it was self-deprecating or taunting others. “I’ll tell you. When I went to pick the slaves, those slaves were like they were already seeing their death, like the ones that I picked will die. But when Su Ka appeared, those people seemed to have seen hope.”
The witnesses knew that the third young master was dissatified with those slaves’ reactions, but he should accept the reality. Although he had one success out of three, compared to other people with nearly ninety percent success rate, he was obviously lacking.
“I’ll practice it again.” Su Gu began to spontaneously mobilize the strength of his body, stretching out the palm of his has as the blue flames appeared.
Shao Xuan looked at Su Gu who had entered into his training state. He did not disturb him, and instead observed the flames in his mind again. There was a flame that belonged Su Gu, with the boundary between the red and the blue flames was already very clear. The two flames gathered together, intertwining while Su Gu was in training of enslavement. Among the flames, the blue one was unusually active.
As Su Gu could get benefit from Shao Xuan here, Shao Xuan could actually also get benefit. The most direct reaction was that tgere were more blue flames rising fron the totem belonging to the Flaming Horns tribe in his mind.
After half a day, at the end of his practice, Su Gu felt that his power of slavery had improved. He believed that today, when he went back to his slavery, he could be more fluent, and could successfully enslave more people.
“After being shackled, was the slave’s ascension limited?” Shao Xuan asked.
“That’s basically the case.” Su Gu replied.
“Was there a special case?”
“It is said that there are some, but it was very little. People who can break through the shackles was certainly very scary.”
After Su Gu left, Shao Xuan mobilized the power of the totem in his body. The dark flame-like pattern was now over two-thirds of his forearm, closer to his wrist. Before leaving the tribe, the totem lines on Shao Xuan’s arm showed that there was not so much, but after his experiences in the rain tribe and the things here, his totem lines went one step further.
For a totem warrior of the Flaming Horns tribe, the display of the totem lines was the most direct proof of their strength. A warrior with the totem lines on the arm reaching over the elbow belonged to the intermediate rank, while ones closer to the wrist showed that one was closer to being a senior totem warrior.
“Ah-Xuan, there were changes in the other tribes!” Tuo exclaimed.
Shao Xuan’s group always paid attention to the movements of the other tribes in the city. Some time ago, these tribes were occasionally going out of town. They said it was to go to the desert for experience, then they would come back every few days. However, this time, it looked more dynamic.
“Those people are leaving in succession.” Lei told his day’s findings to Shao Xuan. “Yesterday, the people who were away from the city came back, and they were packing their things. Then, I saw someone in the process of making new stone tools. I thought it was time to travel back, but in fact, it was not so. Today, the Tian Shan and the Thousand Masks tribes went away from the city. The other tribes seem to be preparing to leave too. I heard that the Hui tribe would also be out of the city for two days. Not to go back, but to go to the desert. Ah-Xuan, tell us. Where are they going?”
If they wanted to end this journey and go back to their tribes, they would surely inform the people of the Flaming Horns tribe. Where the hell were these guys going then?
What was going on in the desert lately?
After some time, Shao Xuan could only think of one thing—the Beast City
The annual feast of the slave owners, where the great slave owners who were willing to attend would take their people to the city to battle. The rest of the tribes might want to take this opportunity to find something that might have something to do with what those people were hiding.
Shao Xuan thought about it, then spoke to Lei and Tuo. “No matter how the other tribes are arranged things, we have to prepare ourselves. After the Luoye City King’s birthday, we have to go to Beast City.”

However, he hadn't imagined that after the guys of the Iron-Blood Camp learned that someone would challenge him to a duel, they would treat this as a provocation towards the whole Iron-Blood Camp itself, a spit on on their name.\nBecause the Iron-Blood Camp was known to have the highest casualty rate in the Norman Empire, in the hearts of the soldiers who believed in the Battle God, if a person wanted to duel with one from that camp, it indicated that he swore to those guys of the Iron-Blood Camp to die as soon as possible on the battlefields.\nZhang Tie was speechless when he heard about this. Thankfully, after hearing the cause of this duel, not all the guys of the Iron-Blood Camp rushed out. Under the order of boss Reinhardt, only a small portion were allowed to set out. Over one hundred people surged out of the camp in armored or military vehicles. Extremely infuriated, those tough men from the Iron-Blood Camp wanted to have a look at what kind of an able bastard dared to duel with the No. 1 real man in the Iron-Blood Camp.\nThe moment Zhang Tie jumped off the armored vehicle, two leaders of small teams dispatched by the Military Administration of the Norman Empire to maintain order ran towards him. Standing at attention, they made military salutes towards Zhang Tie.\n\"Sir, we've received the order of the Military Administration of the Norman Empire to maintain order here. We wonder why would brothers of the Iron-Blood Camp would come here, and whether you need our coordination so as to unify the command!\"\nIn the Norman Empire which had a strict hierarchical system, without any special occasion, in any place full of soldiers, especially in executing tasks, the person who had the highest rank at present would have the highest authority.\nNow at school, Zhang Tie had the highest military rank, that of second lieutenant's, therefore, the two team leaders which were dispatched to ensure that everything went well ran towards him of their own initiative to ask whether he wanted to guide their movements or not. This indicated the self-consciousness of a soldier of the Norman Empire.\n\"No need, I'm here for a private thing. You just execute your tasks, maintain the order well!\"\n\"Yes sir!\"\nAlthough curious, the two team leaders didn't dare to ask more.\nAt this time, the order at school couldn't be better, especially when a batch of tough men jumped off the armored vehicles one by one; none of the onlookers dared to make a noise. Many people who came to watch the fun even had started to regret their decision. They all started to pray inside, wishing not to get involved with any kind of troubles. As citizens of an occupied city, many people here were naturally awed by the Norman Empire's soldiers in their dark red military uniforms.\nWatched by these many people, Zhang Tie felt his skin under the combat clothes start to heat up. Those familiar with him all cast amazed and disbelieving eyes at him.\nAt the sight of Captain Kerlin, Zerom, and the other teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee that was set in the Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie walked over to them and saluted those teachers on his own.\nBecause Captain Kerlin and Zerom had long known Zhang Tie's status because he had revealed it to them before, although they were still shocked at the sight of him, they could understand what had happened. However, the other teachers were so shocked that they didn't even know what to say.\nA fresh graduate had immediately become a second lieutenant of the Norman Empire. This was rarely seen even across the Norman Empire itself, let alone Blackhot City, which had been occupied by for less than one month.\nIn many people's eyes, Zhang Tie was simply as shiny as a sun.\nWas this Zhang Tie a love child of a big figure in the Norman Empire left in Blackhot City? such a thought flashed across many people's mind at once.\nCaptain Kerlin recovered his composure and walked onto the dueling platform before loudly declaring, \"Since Zhang Tie has arrived, we shall start the duel!\" .\nAfter walking onto the dueling platform, at the sight of Sodor whose face had turned completely white, Zhang Tie grinned.\nMany people who didn't know him before screamed at the sight of Zhang Tie walking onto the dueling platform. Those voices were closely followed by gasps and coughs.\n\"Weapons are allowed to be used in this duel. Sodor chose a long spear, you can also choose the same weapon!\" Captain Kerlin reminded Zhang Tie.\n\"Get out of the way, get out of the way, here's our platoon leader's weapon...\" The moment Captain Kerlin finished talking, Beckham and Moos, two 'half-women' of Third Platoon, brought Zhang Tie's terrifying battle sword onto platform. Stretching out one hand, Zhang Tie picked up the 358 kgs' battle sword.\nAnother batch of onlookers were shocked into silence now. Motherf*cker, was that terrifying battle sword the size of a door used to fight?\nSeeing Zhang Tie holding that terrifying battle sword in his hand, Sodor was really scared, his long spear even slid down to the ground from his hand, causing a loud 'dong' sound. Face gone completely pale, Sodor hurriedly bent over to pick it up.\nLooking at Sodor's stupefied look, those soldiers surrounding the duel platform became really infuriated. Such a timid guy dared to seek a duel with a military officer of the Iron-Blood Camp, and even one that had a weird strength while also being favored by the Battle God. That timid guy was really not afraid of death!\nBeckham and Moos who had carried in Zhang Tie's weapon immediately grinned. \"Platoon Leader, is that stupid guy the one who wants to duel with you?\"\n\"Yea!\"\nZhang Tie nodded.\n\"Don't let that guy die too fast. That would humiliate your nickname Mummy. It's not interesting to directly cut him in two halves. Like how you pat cucumbers, you should pat him all over from his feet to his head with this 'Man's Certification'!\"\n\"Piss off!\"\nHearing Beckham call his nickname on this occasion, Zhang Tie was driven so mad that he even wanted to kick this guy off the platform.\n'Man's Certification' was the name the soldiers gave to Zhang Tie's battle sword. They knew that the battle sword had been in the division's arsenal for a very long time since no lieutenant could use it. When they learned that Zhang Tie could attack with it, everybody felt a sense of honor. No matter what, the guy who could use this 'Man's Certification' was a military officer of the Iron-Blood Camp, which could certify again that the Iron-Blood Camp was the most powerful troop in the entire division. That was enough.\n\"Can we start?\" Zhang Tie asked the one-eyed man who had walked down the dueling platform. At present, there were only two people on the platform - Zhang Tie and Sodor, who was quivering all over.\nIt was hard to say whether it was because he was too afraid or for some other reason, the moment the one-eyed man declared the start of the duel, Sodor howled like a ghost, cried like his parents had died, and darted towards Zhang Tie with a long spear in hand.\nIn Zhang Tie's eyes, Sodor's attack was pretty naive whatever you looked at: strength, speed, moves, or conviction. He looked like a toddler who had just learned how to walk and now with a wooden stick in hand rushed towards Zhang Tie, eyes closed.\nWhen his long spear was about to reach Zhang Tie, Sodor really closed his eyes.\nZhang Tie was left speechless. With just a slight wave of his 'Man's Certification', he hit Sodor and sent him flying back to fall onto the ground ten meters away. He went back at a speed three-five times greater than when he had rushed towards Zhang Tie, and upon landing was unable to pick himself up from the ground.\nAt the same time, Sodor's long spear also flew high into the air, falling back to the platform along with Sodor, and causing a crisp sound as it bounced off the ground for a couple of times, its shaft curving. Seeing this duel, the onlookers under the platform were all greatly shocked. With merely one hit, the middle part of Sodor's additionally weighted steel long spear had formed a curve of 60 degrees. What great strength would it take for Zhang Tie to bend the steel handle of a long spear?\nAll the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood widely opened their eyes like seeing Zhang Tie for the first time. A LV 4 warrior was driven mad and destroyed like a turd under Zhang Tie's nonchalant counterattack. Was this person their good brother or not? Barley and the other members were all left muddle-headed.\nPandora and Alice immediately covered their mouths. Was this person that susceptible youth who had embraced them to justify himself, and the one that would think about them when he saw black mulberry seeds in the wild? The jealous eyes of the women of the Rose Association fell onto Pandora, Alice, and Beverly.\nSeeing the scene on the platform, the eyes of the brothers of the Gods Bliss Association became shiny. Tightly grasping their fists, they all felt like they were being scorched inside. From then on, everybody's belief in the Big Blessing Skill and the mysterious ancient gods became as firm as iron. In their eyes, Zhang Tie became as lofty as the gods.\nEverybody cast their eyes on Zhang Tie in different moods!\nZhang Tie himself was patting Sodor right now! If he cut him by placing his sword horizontally, four halves would be seen on the platform: two halves of Sodor, two halves of his long spear. Then everything would come to an end, but Zhang Tie did not do that.\nMerely by this counterattack, all the teachers with high fighting skills could judge that Zhang Tie was powerful, very powerful, especially his weird strength, which was far out of the public's imagination. Merely because of that pure physical strength, Zhang Tie's fighting strength had already reached the level of a LV 7 warrior.\nWould Zhang Tie really pat Sodor to death like how one patted a cucumber? The teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee all had strange faces. Miss Qili's turned completely blue, Zerom frowned as he looked at Kerlin, who then slightly shook his head—based on Kerlin's understanding about the youth, he didn't believe that he was that cruel."

第二章
所有人都傻了，以至于张铁从装甲车上跳下来的时候，周围都安静一片。
张铁知道今天这事搞得有点大了，但是他也没想到所有铁血营的人在知道有人要和自己决斗后，居然都把这次决斗看成了是对铁血营的一次挑衅和对铁血营所有人的诅咒。
因为铁血营在诺曼帝国的伤亡率是最高的，在那些信奉战神和有些迷信的诺曼帝国铁血营士兵的心中，与铁血营的人决斗的另外一层意思，居然是在诅咒铁血营的家伙们在战场上死得还不够快。
对此，张铁也有些无语，在驻地的时候他已经把关于这次决斗的前因后果讲的很清楚了，由此总算没有让铁血营的那些家伙来个倾巢而出，在莱因哈特老大的授意下，这次跟着张铁来的只是一小部分人，但这小部分人，也有100多人，大家坐着装甲车和军车浩浩荡荡的杀出营地，铁血营的大兵们义愤填膺，都想来看看这个胆敢与铁血营的少尉军官中第一号真男人决斗的混蛋是什么三头六臂的大能。
张铁一跳下装甲车，被军管会派来学校这边执勤和维持秩序的两个小队长就跑了过来，一个立正站好，在周围一堆人的目瞪口呆中，对着张铁就敬了一个军礼。
“报告长官，我们接到军管会的命令在此维持秩序，不知道铁血营的兄弟们为什么会来这里，是否有行动需要我们配合，统一指挥权！”
在诺曼帝国这种等级森严的地方，只要是在军人扎堆之地，如果没有特别的情况，特别是在出任务的时候。 一般军衔最高的那个人就拥有最高的权威。
现在在学校里张铁的少尉军衔最高，两个原本在这里维持秩序的小队长都主动跑过来询问张铁是否需要指挥他们行动，这只是一个诺曼帝人的自觉。
“不用了，我来这里只是为自己的一点私事，你们继续你们的任务，维持好现场秩序就好！”
“是！”
虽然有些奇怪，但两个小队长也没敢多问。
这个时候学校里的秩序，已经好得不能再好，特别是铁血营的那一帮人一个个从车上跳下来以后。 所有的围观者更是大气也不敢出，许多来看热闹不知道情况的人这个时候甚至已经开始在心里后悔，一个个暗暗祈祷，希望今天不要卷入到什么麻烦事情中。 作为一个被占领的城市，许多人都对那些穿着暗红色军服的诺曼帝国士兵有一种天然的畏惧。
周围那些人看着自己的目光让张铁都感觉战斗服下面的皮肤开始发热。
张铁看到了科林上尉还有哲罗姆与一干在野狼城堡试炼时临时督查委员会的老师，于是张铁走了过去，主动给这些自己曾经的老师们敬了一个礼。
科林教官和哲罗姆因为事先已经有所准备。 张铁上次泄了一点底给他们，在看到张铁的时候虽然震惊，但好歹还能想明白发生了什么事，而其他的那些老师们这个时候则震惊得一个个都不知道怎么开口。
这样的事情，就算在诺曼帝国可能也属于比较稀罕的事情，何况是在黑炎城这种刚刚被诺曼帝国占领了不到一个月的地方。
在许多人的眼中，张铁此刻简直就像太阳一样耀眼。
这个张铁难道是诺曼帝国什么大人物丢在黑炎城的私生子？
科林上尉镇定了一下心神。 走到决斗台上，大声的宣布决斗可以开始。
张铁走上了决斗台，看着那边面色惨白的索德，露齿一笑。
许多原本不认识张铁的人在张铁走上台后才失声叫了起来，决斗台下突然响起了一大片吸冷气和咳嗽的声音。
“这次决斗可以使用武器，索德选择的是一杆长枪，你也可以选择一样武器！” 科林教官提醒张铁。
“来了，来了，我们排长的武器来了……”科林教官话音刚落，贝克汉姆和穆斯两个三排的“半个女人”就一前一后抬着张铁使用的那把恐怖的战剑就走到了决斗台上，张铁伸手一抓，358公斤的战剑就拿到了手上。
旁边看热闹的人又摔到了一片，妈呀，那扇门板一样的恐怖战剑不会真是用来决斗的武器吧！
看到张铁把那柄恐怖的战剑拿在手上，索德手上的长枪一下子咚的一声从手上滑落了下来，面色惨白的索德连忙弯腰去捡。
着那边索德的窝囊样，决斗台周围那些跟着张铁过来看热闹的大兵们则是愤怒了起来，就这么一个软蛋，居然还敢找铁血营的军官决斗，居然敢找一个受到战神注视的怪力男决斗，简直不知死活！
帮张铁把武器拿来的贝克汉姆和穆斯一下子狞笑了起来，“排长，就是那个废物一样的家伙要和你决斗吗？”
“是啊！”
张铁点了点头。
“你可千万别让那个家伙死得太痛快辱没了你木乃伊的外号啊，一下子一刀两段就太没看头了，就像拍黄瓜一样，你拿着这把‘男人的证明’给他一下一下从下拍到上才过瘾！”
“滚！”
看到贝克汉姆这个家伙居然在这种场合把自己的那个外号叫出来，张铁恨不得一脚把这个家伙从台上踹下去。
“男人的证明”是铁血营的大兵们今天早上才给张铁的这把战剑取的名字，但大家知道这把战剑摆在师团的军械库中已经很长时间，但整个师团的尉官们没有一个人能用，只有张铁可以把它舞起来的时候，所有人都有一种与有荣焉的感觉，不管怎么说，能使用这把“男人的证明”的家伙，是我们铁血营的军官，这又再一次证明了铁血营果然是整个师团最强大的部队，这就够了。
“可以开始了吗？” 张铁问已经走下决斗台的独眼龙，这个时候的决斗台上，就只剩下两个人——张铁和那个已经浑身在发抖的索德。
“可以开始了！” 不知道是不是因为太过于恐惧和别的什么原因，独眼龙刚刚宣布决斗开始，索德那个家伙竟然鬼哭狼嚎的大喊了一声，然后就拿着长枪朝张铁冲了过来。
索德的这一击，无论力量，速度，还是步法与气势，在张铁看来，都幼稚无比，张铁就像看着一个刚学会走路的家伙拿着根木棍闭着眼睛朝自己冲过来一样。
在快要用长枪扎到张铁的时候，索德居然真的闭上了眼睛。
张铁无语了，只把“男人的证明”挥舞了一下，索德就以比他冲过来时快了三五倍的速度，重新倒着飞了回去，落在了十米之外的地方，再也没有爬起来。
索德手上的那杆长枪高高的飞起，在索德落在地上的时候，也掉在了决斗台上，掉在决斗台上的长枪发出一声脆响，在地上弯弯扭扭的弹跳了两下，决斗台下那些看着这场决斗的人眼睛都直了，就一下，索德手上的那根加料版的钢制长枪的枪身中间，已经形成了一个六十度左右的弓形弯曲，这要多大的力量才能一下子把长枪的枪身都砸弯啊。
飞机兄弟会的众人瞪大了眼睛，就好像第一次认识张铁一样看着张铁，一个四级的战兵，在张铁的随手一击之下，就如土鸡瓦狗般的崩溃了，这个人，真是是自己的好兄弟吗？ 巴利等人都一阵恍惚。
潘多拉和爱丽丝三女则一下子捂住了嘴，这个人，就是那个搂着自己表白，在野外见到黑桑子后会想到自己头发的多情少年吗？ 玫瑰社一堆女生嫉妒的目光这个时候已经毫不掩饰的落在了潘多拉三个女人的身上。
神恩会的兄弟们这个时候看着张铁，一个个双眼放光，双拳紧紧握着，一个个心中灼热无比，从此之后，所有人对大祝福术和那神秘古神的信仰，如铁一样的再也无法动摇，张铁在他们心目中的形象，如神一样高大。
所有人都在看着张铁，心思各异！
张铁刚刚的那一下，居然真的是用拍的！ 如果张铁刚刚把剑刃横过来，此刻台上就会多出四截东西，那么一切就结束了，但张铁没有这么干。
只一下，在场的，眼里高明的所有老师们都判断除了张铁的实力，强大，很强大，特别是张铁身上的那一股怪力，简直远远超出了众人的想象，只凭借着那纯粹的身体力量，张铁现在的战力，就有可能已经达到或超出了七级战士的水准。
难道张铁真的想要把索德一段一段的像拍黄瓜一样的拍死吗？ 临时督查委员会那些老师这个时候看张铁的眼神都变了，绮莉老师的脸色已经完全铁青，哲罗姆皱着眉头看向了科林，科林微微摇了摇头——以科林对张铁的了解，他不相信张铁是一个那么残忍的人。

Chapter 176: Sodor's Tragedy
Translator: WQL Editor: DarkGem Everybody became dumbfounded and kept quiet when Zhang Tie jumped off the armored vehicle.
Zhang Tie knew that this went too far. However, he hadn't imagined that after the guys of the Iron-Blood Camp learned that someone would challenge him to a duel, they would treat this as a provocation towards the whole Iron-Blood Camp itself, a spit on on their name.
Because the Iron-Blood Camp was known to have the highest casualty rate in the Norman Empire, in the hearts of the soldiers who believed in the Battle God, if a person wanted to duel with one from that camp, it indicated that he swore to those guys of the Iron-Blood Camp to die as soon as possible on the battlefields.
Zhang Tie was speechless when he heard about this. Thankfully, after hearing the cause of this duel, not all the guys of the Iron-Blood Camp rushed out. Under the order of boss Reinhardt, only a small portion were allowed to set out. Over one hundred people surged out of the camp in armored or military vehicles. Extremely infuriated, those tough men from the Iron-Blood Camp wanted to have a look at what kind of an able bastard dared to duel with the No. 1 real man in the Iron-Blood Camp.
The moment Zhang Tie jumped off the armored vehicle, two leaders of small teams dispatched by the Military Administration of the Norman Empire to maintain order ran towards him. Standing at attention, they made military salutes towards Zhang Tie.
"Sir, we've received the order of the Military Administration of the Norman Empire to maintain order here. We wonder why would brothers of the Iron-Blood Camp would come here, and whether you need our coordination so as to unify the command!"
In the Norman Empire which had a strict hierarchical system, without any special occasion, in any place full of soldiers, especially in executing tasks, the person who had the highest rank at present would have the highest authority.
Now at school, Zhang Tie had the highest military rank, that of second lieutenant's, therefore, the two team leaders which were dispatched to ensure that everything went well ran towards him of their own initiative to ask whether he wanted to guide their movements or not. This indicated the self-consciousness of a soldier of the Norman Empire.
"No need, I'm here for a private thing. You just execute your tasks, maintain the order well!"
"Yes sir!"
Although curious, the two team leaders didn't dare to ask more.
At this time, the order at school couldn't be better, especially when a batch of tough men jumped off the armored vehicles one by one; none of the onlookers dared to make a noise. Many people who came to watch the fun even had started to regret their decision. They all started to pray inside, wishing not to get involved with any kind of troubles. As citizens of an occupied city, many people here were naturally awed by the Norman Empire's soldiers in their dark red military uniforms.
Watched by these many people, Zhang Tie felt his skin under the combat clothes start to heat up. Those familiar with him all cast amazed and disbelieving eyes at him.
At the sight of Captain Kerlin, Zerom, and the other teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee that was set in the Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie walked over to them and saluted those teachers on his own.
Because Captain Kerlin and Zerom had long known Zhang Tie's status because he had revealed it to them before, although they were still shocked at the sight of him, they could understand what had happened. However, the other teachers were so shocked that they didn't even know what to say.
A fresh graduate had immediately become a second lieutenant of the Norman Empire. This was rarely seen even across the Norman Empire itself, let alone Blackhot City, which had been occupied by for less than one month.
In many people's eyes, Zhang Tie was simply as shiny as a sun.
Was this Zhang Tie a love child of a big figure in the Norman Empire left in Blackhot City? such a thought flashed across many people's mind at once.
Captain Kerlin recovered his composure and walked onto the dueling platform before loudly declaring, "Since Zhang Tie has arrived, we shall start the duel!" .
After walking onto the dueling platform, at the sight of Sodor whose face had turned completely white, Zhang Tie grinned.
Many people who didn't know him before screamed at the sight of Zhang Tie walking onto the dueling platform. Those voices were closely followed by gasps and coughs.
"Weapons are allowed to be used in this duel. Sodor chose a long spear, you can also choose the same weapon!" Captain Kerlin reminded Zhang Tie.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, here's our platoon leader's weapon..." The moment Captain Kerlin finished talking, Beckham and Moos, two 'half-women' of Third Platoon, brought Zhang Tie's terrifying battle sword onto platform. Stretching out one hand, Zhang Tie picked up the 358 kgs' battle sword.
Another batch of onlookers were shocked into silence now. Motherf*cker, was that terrifying battle sword the size of a door used to fight?
Seeing Zhang Tie holding that terrifying battle sword in his hand, Sodor was really scared, his long spear even slid down to the ground from his hand, causing a loud 'dong' sound. Face gone completely pale, Sodor hurriedly bent over to pick it up.
Looking at Sodor's stupefied look, those soldiers surrounding the duel platform became really infuriated. Such a timid guy dared to seek a duel with a military officer of the Iron-Blood Camp, and even one that had a weird strength while also being favored by the Battle God. That timid guy was really not afraid of death!
Beckham and Moos who had carried in Zhang Tie's weapon immediately grinned. "Platoon Leader, is that stupid guy the one who wants to duel with you?"
"Yea!"
Zhang Tie nodded.
"Don't let that guy die too fast. That would humiliate your nickname Mummy. It's not interesting to directly cut him in two halves. Like how you pat cucumbers, you should pat him all over from his feet to his head with this 'Man's Certification'!"
"Piss off!"
Hearing Beckham call his nickname on this occasion, Zhang Tie was driven so mad that he even wanted to kick this guy off the platform.
'Man's Certification' was the name the soldiers gave to Zhang Tie's battle sword. They knew that the battle sword had been in the division's arsenal for a very long time since no lieutenant could use it. When they learned that Zhang Tie could attack with it, everybody felt a sense of honor. No matter what, the guy who could use this 'Man's Certification' was a military officer of the Iron-Blood Camp, which could certify again that the Iron-Blood Camp was the most powerful troop in the entire division. That was enough.
"Can we start?" Zhang Tie asked the one-eyed man who had walked down the dueling platform. At present, there were only two people on the platform - Zhang Tie and Sodor, who was quivering all over.
It was hard to say whether it was because he was too afraid or for some other reason, the moment the one-eyed man declared the start of the duel, Sodor howled like a ghost, cried like his parents had died, and darted towards Zhang Tie with a long spear in hand.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, Sodor's attack was pretty naive whatever you looked at: strength, speed, moves, or conviction. He looked like a toddler who had just learned how to walk and now with a wooden stick in hand rushed towards Zhang Tie, eyes closed.
When his long spear was about to reach Zhang Tie, Sodor really closed his eyes.
Zhang Tie was left speechless. With just a slight wave of his 'Man's Certification', he hit Sodor and sent him flying back to fall onto the ground ten meters away. He went back at a speed three-five times greater than when he had rushed towards Zhang Tie, and upon landing was unable to pick himself up from the ground.
At the same time, Sodor's long spear also flew high into the air, falling back to the platform along with Sodor, and causing a crisp sound as it bounced off the ground for a couple of times, its shaft curving. Seeing this duel, the onlookers under the platform were all greatly shocked. With merely one hit, the middle part of Sodor's additionally weighted steel long spear had formed a curve of 60 degrees. What great strength would it take for Zhang Tie to bend the steel handle of a long spear?
All the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood widely opened their eyes like seeing Zhang Tie for the first time. A LV 4 warrior was driven mad and destroyed like a turd under Zhang Tie's nonchalant counterattack. Was this person their good brother or not? Barley and the other members were all left muddle-headed.
Pandora and Alice immediately covered their mouths. Was this person that susceptible youth who had embraced them to justify himself, and the one that would think about them when he saw black mulberry seeds in the wild? The jealous eyes of the women of the Rose Association fell onto Pandora, Alice, and Beverly.
Seeing the scene on the platform, the eyes of the brothers of the Gods Bliss Association became shiny. Tightly grasping their fists, they all felt like they were being scorched inside. From then on, everybody's belief in the Big Blessing Skill and the mysterious ancient gods became as firm as iron. In their eyes, Zhang Tie became as lofty as the gods.
Everybody cast their eyes on Zhang Tie in different moods!
Zhang Tie himself was patting Sodor right now! If he cut him by placing his sword horizontally, four halves would be seen on the platform: two halves of Sodor, two halves of his long spear. Then everything would come to an end, but Zhang Tie did not do that.

Merely because of that pure physical strength, Zhang Tie's fighting strength had already reached the level of a LV 7 warrior.
Would Zhang Tie really pat Sodor to death like how one patted a cucumber? The teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee all had strange faces. Miss Qili's turned completely blue, Zerom frowned as he looked at Kerlin, who then slightly shook his head—based on Kerlin's understanding about the youth, he didn't believe that he was that cruel.

Additionally, this had broken through the bottom line that was tacitly approved by both parties.\n\"I will go there together with North Wind Fleet to welcome our Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness!\"\n\"Bu...but this might arouse a war!\" Elder Rodolfo had to remind Elder Turin considering the potential severe outcome.\n\"It's time for the war!\" Elder Turin replied which shocked Elder Rodolfo so much, \"I'm afraid that Peter was waiting in Saint Herner Island for the arrival of North Wind Fleet. If we don't go there, we may disappoint him!\"\n\"Ahh...\" Rodolfo became dumbfounded.\n\"It's estimated that an elder of Huge Bear Tribe will appear in Eschyle City in 2 hours and go to Saint Herner Island together with me!\" Elder Turin revealed a faintly mysterious smile, \"Pontiff Sarlin, who has the eye of time, must have seen that and made the corresponding preparation!\"\n\"Just tell them the news honestly, they will make their own choice. Tell the old bear, it's the final chance for them to clarify their stance!\" Elder Turin said faintly.\nIn the hieron of Elzida Mountain, Pontiff Sarlin had also opened his eyes at this moment. Watching Elder Toles in front of him, he nodded.\nReceiving the answer, Elder Toles just bowed towards Pontiff Sarlin and slowly retreated the hieron.\nIn a main tent of Wild Bear Tribe... On the main seat was sitting a robust mountain-like man, who was tearing a roasted cattle and chewing it forcefully. Meanwhile, he listened to those sitting below him reporting to him. After eating each piece of beef, the man would always clean his oily hands on his bear-hide coat. \"Clan head Dali, what's your opinion about it?\" A 60-years-old man asked.\n\"Hahaha...this is a big event; of course, I need to consider about it...\" The one on the main seat put him off.\n\"Our whole family have stayed here for 7 days...\" Another 20-years-old man interrupted.\n\"Hahahaha, you four have stayed here for 7 days; then you want the lives of over 13 million people of my wild bear troop?\" The man who was tearing beef narrowed his eyes while releasing a depressive qi.\nThe 60-years-old man threw a stern glance at that young man before opening his mouth calmly, \"You're very clear about the power of our Sacred Light School. If you cooperate with us, you will not suffer any loss!\"\n\"Hah, speaking of Sacred Light School, I remember that a country called Sun Dynasty who believed in the God of Brilliance School have been exterminated by the demonized puppets disaster. Does the God of Brilliance School originate from your school? I wonder what other powers does your school still have in Blackson Humans Corridor now.\"\n\"Sun Dynasty is just a small country!\" The 50-odd years man explained calmly, \"That country's God of Brilliance School is just a small branch of our school in Blackson Humans Corridor. Additionally, as they had left the halos of the God of Sacred Light, that branch had been attracted to the evil route by demons. Therefore, they finally came to an end. In Western Continent, our Sacred Light Empire's power is thousands times greater than that of Sun Dynasty. Our believers are like numerous water drops in the ocean. As long as there's sunshine, there will be the follower of our school!\"\n\"Then, what do you want?\"\n\"Belief, we only need belief!\" The 60-odd years man replied with an extremely righteous expression, \"Besides belief, we need nothing else.

对遥感水晶来说，距离是没有意义的东西，所以，张铁的在星月岛上出现的消息只是隔了几个小时，在中午的时候就传到了艾斯基尔城。
斯宾塞家族在埃温达拉的一个商团得到了消息，就把消息第一时间传回了艾斯基尔城。
五年的时间，在艾斯基尔城斯宾塞家族铁熊堡的原址上，一座更加高大辉煌的铁熊堡重新屹立了起来。
得到消息的鲁道夫长老第一时间赶到了图灵长老闭关的地方，用紧急的方法把图灵长老从闭关的密室中唤醒。
鲁道夫长老焦急的等在密室的门外，在足足等了十分钟之后，挡在他面前的那道合金铁门在悄然的滑开，面容冷冽的图灵长老才缓缓出现在他的面前。
“什么事？” 图灵长老的语气平淡，但那平淡之中，却也有一丝不悦。
骑士的修炼和闭关被打断，没有一个人会高兴，而在斯宾塞家族，所有人都知道，真正主宰这个家族命运的，只有成为骑士的图灵长老，鲁道夫长老虽然也是长老，但却不是骑士，家族辈分也和图灵长老悬殊巨大，所以在图灵长老面前，特别是没有外人的时候，鲁道夫长老完全就像面对着自己的长辈，一切都小心翼翼。
鲁道夫长老用最快的速度把事情说了一遍。
图灵长老那眉间的一丝不悦瞬间消失，眼中放出两道摄人的精光。
“消息属实？”
“属实。 整个星月剑派的弟子都看到了，消息就是从星月岛上传来的，魔蛇岛所有的圆桌武士已经全部丧命！”
图灵长老深深的吸了一口气。 整个人身上一下子涌起一股凛冽的气势，脸色一下子严肃无比，“命令北风舰队，三个小时内做好出发的准备，目标圣赫纳岛！”
鲁道夫长老大吃一惊，要知道这样的动作。 有可能会引发冰雪荒原与埃温达拉群岛之间的战争，而这已经突破了双方默认的某条底线。
“我会和舰队一起前往，迎接我们的冰雪荒原之王！”
鲁道夫长老不得不提醒到。 “这场战争也应该来了！”
图灵长老一句话就让鲁道夫长老说不出话来，“如果我猜得没错，彼得此刻应该已经在圣赫纳岛等着北风舰队的到来了，如果我们不去。 那才会真正让他失望！”
“啊……”鲁道夫长老一脸的惊愕。
图灵长老的脸上出现了一丝莫测的笑容，“拥有时间之眼的沙林大祭司不会看不到的，如果连这点准备都没有的话，那沙林大祭司也就不是大祭司了！” 鲁道夫长老想了想，似乎想到了什么，小声的问了一句。
“把消息告诉他们一声就行，不用夸大。 也不用隐瞒，他们自己会做出选择的，你告诉那头老熊，这是最后站队的机会！” 图灵长老冷淡的说道。
厄尔奇达山的神庙之中，沙林大祭司这个时候也睁开了眼睛，看着站在他面前的托尔斯长老，点了点头。
看到沙林大祭司点头，托尔斯长老什么话都不说，只是向沙林大祭司鞠了一躬之后，就缓缓退出了神庙。
那主位上，一个像山一样雄壮的男人雄踞在最高的地方，一边粗野的用手撕扯着他面前那整整一头烤牛，放在嘴里大嚼大咬，一边听着几个坐在主帐之中下首的人说着话，每吃完一块牛肉，那个男人总是习惯性的把手上的油脂在他的熊皮大衣上擦两下，然后又去撕扯。
“哈哈哈……这是大事，自然要再考虑考虑……”坐在上面的人打着哈哈。
“我们一家在你这里呆了七天了……”另外一个二十多岁的人插嘴道。
“哈哈哈哈，你们四个人在这里呆了七天，就要我押上野熊部队1300多万人的命吗？”
那坐在下首的那个六十多岁的人用严厉的眼神看了一眼插话的那个年轻人，然后又才平静的开了口，“我们圣光神教的实力你很清楚，和我们合作，你不会吃亏的！”
“哈，说到圣光神教，我好像记得在布莱克森人族走廊有一个信仰光辉之神教派叫太阳神朝的国家已经在魔灾之中灭亡了，那光辉之神教派应该就是来源于你们的教派吧，我不知道你们教派现在在布莱克森人族走廊还有什么力量。”
那个五十多岁的男人不动声色的说着，“那个国家的光辉之神教派也只是我们教派很久之前在布莱克森人族走廊发展出来的一个小小的分支，而且由于常年游离在圣光之神的荣光之外，那个分支已经被魔鬼诱惑，走上了邪路，最终才导致了灭亡，在西方大陆，我们圣光帝国的实力要强过太阳神朝百倍千倍以上，我们的信徒，就像大海里的水滴，数不胜数，只要有阳光照耀之处，就有我们教派的信徒，就有我们的力量！”
“那么，你们想得到什么呢？”
“信仰，我们只需要信仰！” 那个六十多岁的人说着，脸上出现正义至极的表情，“除了信仰，我们什么都不要，达利族长如果答应与我们合作，野熊部落不仅现在就能获得瓜分冰雪荒原利益的机会，让野熊部落的实力大增，而且随后，我们圣光帝国的援助也会通过我们的舰队，源源不绝的运抵冰雪荒原，让野熊部落越来越强大！
“嗯！ 容我再想想，哈哈哈哈……”野熊部落的族长继续打着哈哈。
“我们最多还能在野熊部落里再呆三天，如果三天之内达利族长还没有决定的话，就没有机会了！”
半个小时后，主帐之中的那几个人离开，整个主帐里就只剩下那个男人继续在撕扯着牛肉，那个男人吃着牛肉，眼神却眯了起来，闪着诡异的光彩。
甘谷拉急匆匆的从外面进来，走到那个男人的身边，俯身在那个人耳边低语了几句。
几年不见，甘谷拉比起五年前来更加的沉稳一些，那嘴角，已经留起了一道浓浓的胡须。
听完甘谷拉的话，吃着牛肉的那个男人的动作凝固住了，隔了半响，那个男人砰的一些就把手上的一只牛腿砸到了桌子上，他看着甘谷拉，眼神像要吃人，眨眼之间就下了一个命令，哪里有什么犹豫的样子，“去把那几个家伙的脑袋砍下来，送到冰原巨熊部落！”
“等一下，莎柏琳娜那个丫头呢？”
“上个月传来她消息的时候她在艾斯基尔城，已经在哪里买下了斯宾塞家族的一座城堡！” 甘谷拉说道。
“嗯，去吧！” 野熊部落的族长用油腻腻的手摩挲着自己的胡子，挥了挥手，甘谷拉大步离开。
看着甘谷拉离开，野熊部落的族长脸上出现了一个冷笑，“妈的，一群杂碎，传你妈的教，不过是看到现在冰雪荒原慢慢成了肥肉，就想来靠着几张嘴皮和一个狗屁西方大陆的骑士来捞好处，你以为老子没见过骑士么，还是以为我们斯拉夫人没有骑士？
莎柏琳娜的确在艾斯基尔城，更准确的说，此刻的莎柏琳娜就在艾斯基尔城的军港外面，她坐在一辆黑色的小轿车中，和无数艾斯基尔城的民众，在码头上，看着军港之中的北风舰队的一艘艘威武的战舰开始生火，一道道黑烟开始冲天而起，一艘艘的钢铁战舰开始驶出军港。
能穿过奥罗海峡的，只有万吨级以上的重型巡洋舰和北风舰队的主力铁血级战列舰，从一开始，整个北风舰队就是为了封锁奥罗海峡而存在的，所以北风舰队配置的，也只有这两种战舰。
凯旋旗是舰队战斗的号角，而那两张黑铁王座旗代表的是舰队之中有两名黑铁骑士！
所有的战舰开始一起鸣笛，如一声怒吼，声音响彻整个艾斯基尔城。
二十分钟后，听着最新的消息，莎柏琳娜一脸的古怪——骑士，那个小家伙成了骑士？

With remote-sensing crystals, the news was spread so fast. Therefore, in only a few hours, what Zhang Tie did in Stars and Moons Island had been spread to Eschyle City.
Spencer Clan received the news from a business group in Ewentra Archipelago and transmitted the news to Eschyle City at once.
In only 5 years, a higher and more magnificent Iron Bear Castle had been built in the original address of Iron Bear Castle of Spencer Clan in Eschyle City.
Within an underground backroom of Iron Bear Castle, Elder Turin of Spencer Clan was entering a deep meditation. After receiving the news, Elder Rodolfo arrived at the backroom of Elder Turin immediately and woke him up urgently.
After waiting outside the door of the backroom for 10 minutes, the alloy door finally slid away while Elder Turin slowly appeared in front of Elder Rodolfo with a cold look.
"What happened?" Elder Turin asked calmly which sounded a bit unpleasant.
Any knight would feel unhappy when his cultivation and meditation was interrupted. In Spencer Clan, everybody knew that the one who could really master the fate of the clan was Elder Turin, who had become a knight. Although Elder Rodolfo was also an elder, he was not a knight. Additionally, his seniority in the clan was utterly different than that of Elder Turin. Especially when there was no outsider on their side, Rodolfo treated Turin meticulously as his elder.
Rodolfo reported the news instantly.
After hearing that, Elder Turin's unpleasant look instantly disappeared as his eyes shot out a shrewd light.
"Is it true?"
"It's true. All the disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School have seen that. The news came from Stars and Moons Island. All the roundtable fighters in Demon Snake Island have been killed!"
After taking a deep breath, Elder Turin revealed an aggressive qi while his face turned solemn at once, "Order North Wind Fleet to get prepared in 3 hours, we're setting out for Saint Herner Island!"
"Ahh, Prepare North Wind Fleet to leave Oro Strait?" Elder Rodolfo became shocked as such a movement might cause a war between Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago. Additionally, this had broken through the bottom line that was tacitly approved by both parties.
"I will go there together with North Wind Fleet to welcome our Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness!"
"Bu...but this might arouse a war!" Elder Rodolfo had to remind Elder Turin considering the potential severe outcome.
"It's time for the war!" Elder Turin replied which shocked Elder Rodolfo so much, "I'm afraid that Peter was waiting in Saint Herner Island for the arrival of North Wind Fleet. If we don't go there, we may disappoint him!"
"Ahh..." Rodolfo became dumbfounded.
"It's estimated that an elder of Huge Bear Tribe will appear in Eschyle City in 2 hours and go to Saint Herner Island together with me!" Elder Turin revealed a faintly mysterious smile, "Pontiff Sarlin, who has the eye of time, must have seen that and made the corresponding preparation!"
"Just tell them the news honestly, they will make their own choice. Tell the old bear, it's the final chance for them to clarify their stance!" Elder Turin said faintly.
In the hieron of Elzida Mountain, Pontiff Sarlin had also opened his eyes at this moment. Watching Elder Toles in front of him, he nodded.
Receiving the answer, Elder Toles just bowed towards Pontiff Sarlin and slowly retreated the hieron.
In a main tent of Wild Bear Tribe... On the main seat was sitting a robust mountain-like man, who was tearing a roasted cattle and chewing it forcefully. Meanwhile, he listened to those sitting below him reporting to him. After eating each piece of beef, the man would always clean his oily hands on his bear-hide coat. "Clan head Dali, what's your opinion about it?" A 60-years-old man asked.
"Hahaha...this is a big event; of course, I need to consider about it..." The one on the main seat put him off.
"Our whole family have stayed here for 7 days..." Another 20-years-old man interrupted.
"Hahahaha, you four have stayed here for 7 days; then you want the lives of over 13 million people of my wild bear troop?" The man who was tearing beef narrowed his eyes while releasing a depressive qi.
The 60-years-old man threw a stern glance at that young man before opening his mouth calmly, "You're very clear about the power of our Sacred Light School. If you cooperate with us, you will not suffer any loss!"
"Hah, speaking of Sacred Light School, I remember that a country called Sun Dynasty who believed in the God of Brilliance School have been exterminated by the demonized puppets disaster. Does the God of Brilliance School originate from your school? I wonder what other powers does your school still have in Blackson Humans Corridor now."

Gangula was more steady now than he was 5 years ago while he kept a dense mustache.
After hearing Gangula's words, the man stopped chewing beef. After a short while, he pounded the cattle's leg onto the table. Closely after that, he glared at Gangula and issued an order, "Go chop off those b*stards' heads and send them to the huge bear tribe!" Gangula licked his lips excitedly and nodded silently before turning around and leaving the main tent...
"Wait for a second, where's Sabrina?"
"It's said that she bought a castle of Spencer Clan in Eschyle City last month!" Gangula said.
"Hmm, you can leave!" The clan head rubbed his mustache with his oily hand while waving another hand towards Gangula. Gangula then strode away.
Watching Gangula leaving, the clan head of wild bear tribe revealed a sneer, "F*ck, b*stards, preach your sh*t!

A BMW worth two million was not the top of the luxury cars line but it still drew a lot of attention and he didn’t want that.\nHe spotted Qin Xiang as he neared the coffee shop, standing in a corner where the lamplight didn’t reach. He walked over and his gaze swept the glass storefront of the coffee shop as he passed.

Want to bring me for a spin when we’re done here?”\n“You’re no girl,” said Xia Lei.\nQin Xiang pointed at Xia Lei and hissed, “Damned looks.”\nXia Lei laughed. “Just kidding. You can borrow the keys from me whenever you want.”\nQin Xiang pouted. “You know I don’t like four-wheeled vehicles. I like motorcycles.”\n“Go to a high-end motorcycle dealer and choose one you like. I’ll pay for it. I made a lot of money from China Industrial Group; we shall share in the profits,” said Xia Lei.\n“Really?” Qin Xiang looked excited, “Then can I pick a Harley?”\n“Of course. I recommend the Harley Davidson Breakout. That one’s not bad - I’ve ridden one.” He was reminded of Annina. Was she doing well?\n“Oh? Who’d have known that you’ll know something about motorcycles. I know of the Breakout motorcycles and I’ve always wanted one but it costs over 300,000. I can’t afford that.” Qin Xiang stared steadily at Xia Lei. “Are you really going to buy such a motorcycle for me?”\n“Do I look like I’m joking?,” said Xia Lei, “If you think it’s too expensive I can change the offer to a model motorcycle; how about a Harley Davidson Breakout model motorcycle?”\n“Fuck you, of course I want the real one!” Qin Xiang looked a little anxious. “I’ll go choose the motorcycle tomorrow and you come pay for it.”\nXia Lei nodded. He moved his gaze to Xiang Hong-Bin in the coffee shop.\n“After you left in the afternoon, this punk paced about in the doorway of your workshop. He entered it later and used his phone to take pictures of the drawings you’ve left behind and of the machine in there. He’s not stupid - he just took pictures and didn’t take the papers you left.”\n“This little traitor. I treat him well but he still stabs me in the back.” Xia Lei was bitter.\n“Oh, right, the drawings you left in there were not real, were they?” Qin Xiang suddenly thought of it and looked a little worried.\nXia Lei smiled. “There’s real ones and fake ones. If someone wanted to bribe one of my people then he or she wouldn’t pick a complete novice. I have to put some real ones in there or it’ll be suspicious.”\n“So how are you going to take care of this?”\n“Let’s first see who contacts him,” said Xia Lei.\nA few minutes later, a red Ferrari arrived and parked in the parking lots at the door of the Night in Paris coffee shop. The car was new and the woman who alighted was a familiar person. It was, as suspected, Chi Jing-Qiu.\nChi Jing-Qiu was in a red dress which hugged her body tightly; she was big where she should be and perky where she should be. She looked like someone of standing.\n“It’s her!” snarled Qin Xiang, “That bitch! Why is she always going up against you?”\nIf he’d had sex with her when she’d stripped naked to seduce him, and things had worked out, she definitely would’ve divorced her husband to be with him and wouldn’t be his enemy now. However, he had not responded to her seduction and this was, undoubtedly, a great humiliation to a woman like her. Add the dispute over the commissions and the enmity between Chi Jing-Qiu and himself could only deepen.\nChi Jing-Qiu entered Night in Paris and sat opposite Xiang Hong-Bin.\nXia Lei’s left eye twitched and locked onto them. He was prepared to lip-read; just waiting for them to start talking.\nA waiter went up to Chi Jing-Qiu and politely asked if she needed anything.\n“Just a latte,” said Chi Jing-Qiu disinterestedly.\nThe waiter left to prepare her order.\nChi Jing-Qiu looked at Xiang Hong-Bin with a smile on her face. “You have it?”\nXiang Hong-Bin nodded and took out the memory card for his phone. “He had drawings in his workshop but I didn’t take them lest it gets discovered. I took pictures. My phone camera resolution is high so the pictures are clear.”\nChi Jing-Qiu reached for the memory card.\nXiang Hong-Bin withdrew his hand. “My money?”\n“Afraid that I won’t pay? Humph.” Chi Jing-Qiu rolled her eyes at him, then took out a bulging envelope from her Hermes bag and handed it to him.\nXiang Hong-Bin opened the envelope, glanced at the contents and promptly put it away on his person.\nThough the money in the envelope hadn’t been counted, Xia Lei could see the bands used by banks to hold money together; it was 10,000. He felt the heat of anger in his heart as he thought to himself, ‘Damn, I was betrayed for 10,000?’\nIn the coffee shop, Chi Jing-Qiu inserted the memory card into her own phone and swiped the screen with her fingers. She seemed to have ascertained the value of what was on the memory card and a look of joy appeared between her brows. “Well done. Continue to do well and I will be sure to reward you.”\n“What if I get discovered?” asked Xiang Hong-Bin.\nChi Jing-Qiu giggled. “Don’t worry. Even if you’re found out, the most Xia Lei can do to you is fire you. If that happens I can arrange for you to get a job at Far East Heavy Industries. It’s a government-backed corporation - much better than Thunder Horse Manufacturing.”\nXiang Hong-Bin smiled. “That puts my mind at ease, then. I’ll report to you if anything happens at Thunder Horse Manufacturing.”\n“Most important is the lathe he’s building. Keep a close watch on him and report to me when you gain any valuable information. You have to be careful, though. Xia Lei is very sly. Don’t let him find out.”\n“Yes, I will.”\n“Go back,” said Chi Jing-Qiu.\nXiang Hong-Bin stood and left.\nThe waiter served the latte Chi Jing-Qiu had ordered to the table and she stirred the coffee with her spoon while looking at her phone on the table. She was still looking at the pictures on the memory card but she couldn’t make sense of what she saw.\n“I thought you’d charge in there and catch Chi Jing-Qiu and that traiter red-handed.” Qin Xiang spoke in dissatisfaction as he watched Xiang Hong-Bin leave.\nXia Lei smiled. “What’s the use in catching that punk and Chi Jing-Qiu? Think about it - what would a woman like her do with the drawings?”\nQin Xiang paused. “You mean… She’s not the mastermind?”\nXia Lei thought for a bit, then said, “There has to be a buyer for this. If it’s not Elder Mu, then it’s Ning Yuan-Shan. I feel it’s more likely to be Ning Yuan-Shan.”\n“So you’re not taking action now because you’re hoping to catch the big fish?”\nXia Lei nodded.\n“Okay, what do you want to do?”\n“Find a way to get the surveillance video from the coffee shop. We just need the part where Chi Jing-Qiu and that punk did their transaction,” said Xia Lei.\nQin Xiang frowned. “Looks like I’ll have to work overtime tonight. I’ll get wrinkles.”\nIn the coffee shop, Chi Jing-Qiu picked up her phone and dialled a number. When the call connected, she said, “Chairman Ning, I have Xia Lei’s drawings… What? Send them to you? It’s already so late… Okay, I’ll bring it to you right now. Mm-hm, your home? Sure.”\nCall ended, she got up and walked towards the cashier.\nXia Lei stopped using his eye and said, “I’ll follow her. Help me handle the matter of the surveillance footage.”\nQin Xiang smiled. “No worries, easy as pie.”\nChi Jing-Qiu walked out of the coffee shop and got into her Ferrari. She started driving in a certain direction.\nXia Lei dialled a number in his car. When the call connected, he said, “Big Brother Zhou? Sorry for disturbing you at this hour.”\nZhou Wei’s voice came from the phone, “Why the formalities, Chairman Xia? What is it?”\n“I have a problem on my side,” said Xia Lei.\n“What problem?” Zhou Wei’s voice became anxious in an instant.\n“Chairman Ning and his secretary from Far East Heavy Industries have bribed one of my workers. The worker stole my drawings and sneaked pictures of the lathe I’m building.”\n“What? How dare he do such a thing!” Zhou Wei’s voice was full of anger. “Where are you now?”\n“I’m following Chi Jing-Qiu to Ning Yuan-Shan’s home. She’s about to give the drawings and pictures to him. Big Brother Zhou, I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to keep it a secret. I’m afraid Ning Yuan-Shan may ruin our agreement with his meddling.”\n“How dare he!” said Zhou Wei furiously, “Don’t do anything yet; wait for me to come over!”\n“Sure. I’ll wait for you,” said Xia Lei.\nXia Lei couldn’t help his smile after he hung up. Far East Heavy Industries was also a government-backed company but it was just a lowly dog compared to the great tiger that was China Industrial Group. Ning Yuan-Shan was considered someone of import in Hai-Zhu but to Mu Jian-Feng, he was less than a section chief or a department head of China Industrial Group like Zhou Wei.\nChina Industrial Group regarded Josef’s intelligent lathe as something which could revolutionise the manufacturing industry and it also involved the promotion of many a career. In other words, Ning Yuan-Shan was not just going up against one person but a group of tigers! Would China Industrial Group, with Mu Jian-Feng at their head, simply let him off?\nMatters had not progressed to that point but Xia Lei could already see Ning Yuan-Shan’s fate.\nThere was no good ending for a dog fighting tigers for food."

. ）一辆价值两百万的宝马车虽然算不上顶级的豪车，但停在路边却也能引起很多人的注意，而他并不想这样。
他走来过去，视线也扫过了夜来香的临街的落地窗。 他很快就发现了那个工人，他记得雷马制造公司里的所有员工的样子，还有他们的名字。
那个员工是周小红所负责的1车间的员工，名叫向宏斌，是当初从技校招来的青年技工。
向宏斌大概是第一次来这种高档的咖啡厅里喝咖啡，他显得有些自然。 他不时看一眼窗外，像是在等什么人。
“雷，你开的是谁的车？” 秦香问道，作为飞贼，他的眼睛也是好得很的，夏雷虽然将车停在远处，但他还是看见了。
夏雷说道：“今天才买的。”
秦香嘿嘿笑道：“这车才配你嘛，你这样的人物开什么长城h6。
你开这车去泡妞，车到妞到，它简直就是泡妞神器。
秦香指着夏雷，细声细气地道：“死相。”
夏雷笑了笑，“跟你开玩笑的，你要想开随时可以找我拿钥匙。”
秦香撇了一下嘴，“你知道我不喜欢四个轮子的车，我喜欢机车。”
夏雷说道：“你去好的机车店选一辆好机车吧，我来给你付钱。 这次从神州工业集团的身上赚了一笔钱，有我的，就有你的。”
秦香很激动的样子，“那我可不可以选一辆哈雷机车？”
夏雷笑道：“当然可以，我推荐你选一辆哈雷突破者，那车不错，我坐过。” 他忽然就想起了阿妮娜，她现在还好吗？
“没想到你还懂机车，哈雷突破者我知道，一直就像要一辆，可是那车要三十多万，我买不起。” 秦香直盯盯地看着夏雷，“我说，你真要给我买这么过的机车？”
“我像是在跟你开玩笑吗？” 夏雷说道：“你要是觉得贵的话，我可以把真车换成模型，我给你送一辆哈雷突破者的模型，怎么样？”
“去你的，我当然要真车！” 秦香有些着急的样子，“我明天就去选车，你来付钱。”
夏雷点了点头，视线也移到了坐在咖啡厅里的向宏斌的身上。
秦香说道：“下午，你提前离开之后这小子就在你的工作室门口转来转去。 然后他进入了你的工作室，他用手机拍了你留下的图纸和你的机器。
“这个吃里扒外的家伙，我待他不薄，但他却背叛我。”
夏雷心里很不是滋味。 “对了，你留在工作室里的图纸不会是真的吧？” 秦香想起了这点，有点担心的样子。
夏雷笑了一下，“有真的，也有假的。 有人要收买我身边的人，肯定不会收买一个外行，我如果不放点真的东西，他会怀疑的。”
“那你要怎么处理这件事？”
“先看看是谁与他接头再说吧。” 夏雷说。
几分钟后，一辆红色的法拉利跑车驶来，停在了夜来香咖啡厅的门前的停车位上。 车是新车，从车上下来的女人却是熟人，果然是池静秋。
池静秋一身红色的裙装，布料紧紧地缠裹着她的身体，该大的地方大，该翘的地方翘，看上去便有一种有人的味道。
秦香恨恨地道：“这个贱人！ 她怎么老是和你作对？”
夏雷的嘴角露出了一丝苦笑，“女人的心思谁又能猜到？” 其实，如果当初池静秋脱光了勾引他的时候，他上了她，成就了好事的话，那么池静秋肯定会与她现在的老公离婚与他在一起，那么她就永远不可能是他的敌人了。 可是池静秋脱光了他也无动于衷，这对于池静秋那样的女人来说无疑是最大的侮辱。
池静秋进入了夜来香咖啡厅，坐在了向宏斌的对面。
唇语解读术已经准备好了，只等两人对话了。
一个服务生走到了池静秋的身边，很客气地询问池静秋需要些什么东西。
池静秋淡淡地道：“一杯拿铁就好。”
服务生转身下去准备咖啡去了。
池静秋看着向宏斌，脸上带着笑容，“东西到手了吗？”
向宏斌点了一下头，他掏出了一张手机内存卡，他说道：“他的工作室里面有图纸，不过我没有偷，那样做我会被发现的，所以我只拍了照。
池静秋伸手去拿手机内存卡。
向宏斌却把手缩了回去，“我的钱呢？”
真是的。” 池静秋白了向宏斌一眼，然后从她的爱马仕女包里掏出了一只鼓鼓的信封递给了向宏斌。
向宏斌打开信封看了一眼，跟着又将信封揣了起来。
虽然没数信封里面的钱，但夏雷却看见了银行专用的扎带，那是一万块。 他的心里也莫名起火，暗暗地道：“妈的，为了一万块就把我卖了！”
咖啡厅里，池静秋将那只手机内存卡上在了她的手机上，她用手指滑动着屏幕，她似乎确认了内存卡上的东西的价值，她的眉宇间露出了喜不自禁的神色，“干得不错，我们的合作很愉快。
“要是我被发现了怎么办？”
向宏斌说。 池静秋咯咯笑道：“你放心吧，如果你被发现了，夏雷最多也就开除你，那个时候我把你安排进神州工业集团集团上班，那可是国有企业，待遇比雷马制造公司好得多。”
向宏斌露出了笑容，“那我就放心了，雷马制造一旦有什么动静，我都向你报告。”
“重点是他制造的机床，你得盯紧他，一旦有价值的情报立刻向我汇报。 不过要小心点，夏雷狡猾得很，不要被他发现了。”
“嗯，我会的。”
池静秋说。
向宏斌起身离开。
这个时候那个服务生才将池静秋点的拿铁送上来，池静秋用汤勺搅着咖啡，一边看着放在桌上的手机屏幕。 她还在看向宏斌给她的内存卡上的东西，但她根本就看不懂。
“我以为你会冲进去抓住池静秋和那个吃里扒外的小子。”
秦香看着向宏斌离开，他有些不甘心地道。 夏雷却笑了一下，“抓住那小子和池静秋有什么用？
秦香微微地愣了一下，“你的意思是……她还不是幕后主使？”
夏雷想了一下说道：“这件事一定会有一个买家，要么是木家，要么是宁远山。 我觉得，这件事是宁远山的指使的可能性更大一些。”
“你这个时候不出手，难道是想大鱼？”
夏雷点了一下头。
“好吧，你要怎么做？”
夏雷说道：“你想办法搞到咖啡厅里的监控录像，只要拷贝下池静秋与那小子交易的录像就可以了。”
秦香皱了一下眉头，“看来今晚又得加班了，会长皱纹的。”
咖啡厅里，池静秋拿起了手机，她拨了一个号码，电话接通之后她说道：“宁董，夏雷的图纸我已经到手了……什么？ 给你送过来？
结束通话，池静秋起身往收银台走去。
夏雷也结束了对池静秋的远视，他说道：“我跟着她，你帮我搞定监控视频的事。”
秦香笑了一下，“你放心吧，小事一件。”
池静秋走出了咖啡厅，上了她的法拉利跑车，然后向一个方向驶去。
车上，夏雷拨了一个号码，电话接通之后他说道：“周大哥吗？ 抱歉这个时候打搅你。”
周伟的声音从手机里传来，“夏总你还跟我客气什么？
夏雷说道：“我这边出了一点问题。”
“什么问题？” 周伟的声音一下子就紧张了起来。
夏雷说道：“东方重工的董事长宁远山和他的秘书收买了我的一个工人，那个工人盗走了我的图纸，还偷拍了我造的机床。”
他竟然敢做这种事情！” 周伟的语气里充满了怒气，“你现在在什么地方？”
夏雷说道：“我现在正跟着池静秋去宁远山的家里，池静秋准备把图纸和照片交给宁远山。 周大哥，真是抱歉，我没做好保密工作。
“他敢！” 周伟愤怒地道：“你先别行动，等我过来再说！”
夏雷说道：“好吧，我等你。”
东方重工虽然也是国有企业，但比起神州工业集团却是一只狗与猛虎的比较。 宁远山在海珠地面上还算一个人物，可在木剑锋的眼里，宁远山却比不上神州工业集团的一个科长或者像周伟这样的部门主管！
神州工业集团将约瑟夫的智能机床看做是一次制造业的工业革命，更关系到许多人的仕途，也就是说宁远山不是在与一个人作对，而是在与一个虎群作对！ 以木剑锋为首的神州工业集团的人会放过他？
事情虽然还没有发展到那一步，但夏雷却仿佛看到了宁远山的下场。
一条狗与一群老虎抢食，那不会是一个好下场。

Xia Lei parked his car a little way off, then walked towards Night in Paris. A BMW worth two million was not the top of the luxury cars line but it still drew a lot of attention and he didn’t want that.
He spotted Qin Xiang as he neared the coffee shop, standing in a corner where the lamplight didn’t reach. He walked over and his gaze swept the glass storefront of the coffee shop as he passed. He quickly spotted the worker; all the names and faces of the employees of Thunder Horse Manufacturing had been memorised.
The worker was from Zhou Xiao-Hong’s team in Workshop One, and was named Xiang Hong-Bin. He was one of the students they had recruited from the vocational schools.
It looked like it was Xiang Hong-Bin’s first time in an upscale coffee shop like this and he was uncomfortable. He kept looking out the window once in a while, as if waiting for someone to appear.
“Lei, whose car are you driving?” asked Qin Xiang. He had good eyes as a thief and he still saw the car though Xia Lei had parked it further off.
“I bought it today,” said Xia Lei.
Qin Xiang chuckled. “Now this actually suits you. How could a person like yourself drive a Great Wall H6? Drive this one and the girls will come flocking - It’s a babe magnet! Want to bring me for a spin when we’re done here?”
“You’re no girl,” said Xia Lei.
Qin Xiang pointed at Xia Lei and hissed, “Damned looks.”
Xia Lei laughed. “Just kidding. You can borrow the keys from me whenever you want.”
Qin Xiang pouted. “You know I don’t like four-wheeled vehicles. I like motorcycles.”
“Go to a high-end motorcycle dealer and choose one you like. I’ll pay for it. I made a lot of money from China Industrial Group; we shall share in the profits,” said Xia Lei.
“Really?” Qin Xiang looked excited, “Then can I pick a Harley?”
“Of course. I recommend the Harley Davidson Breakout. That one’s not bad - I’ve ridden one.” He was reminded of Annina. Was she doing well?
“Oh? Who’d have known that you’ll know something about motorcycles. I know of the Breakout motorcycles and I’ve always wanted one but it costs over 300,000. I can’t afford that.” Qin Xiang stared steadily at Xia Lei. “Are you really going to buy such a motorcycle for me?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?,” said Xia Lei, “If you think it’s too expensive I can change the offer to a model motorcycle; how about a Harley Davidson Breakout model motorcycle?”
“Fuck you, of course I want the real one!” Qin Xiang looked a little anxious. “I’ll go choose the motorcycle tomorrow and you come pay for it.”
Xia Lei nodded. He moved his gaze to Xiang Hong-Bin in the coffee shop.
“After you left in the afternoon, this punk paced about in the doorway of your workshop. He entered it later and used his phone to take pictures of the drawings you’ve left behind and of the machine in there. He’s not stupid - he just took pictures and didn’t take the papers you left.”
“This little traitor. I treat him well but he still stabs me in the back.” Xia Lei was bitter.
“Oh, right, the drawings you left in there were not real, were they?” Qin Xiang suddenly thought of it and looked a little worried.
Xia Lei smiled. “There’s real ones and fake ones. If someone wanted to bribe one of my people then he or she wouldn’t pick a complete novice. I have to put some real ones in there or it’ll be suspicious.”
“So how are you going to take care of this?”
“Let’s first see who contacts him,” said Xia Lei.
A few minutes later, a red Ferrari arrived and parked in the parking lots at the door of the Night in Paris coffee shop. The car was new and the woman who alighted was a familiar person. It was, as suspected, Chi Jing-Qiu.
Chi Jing-Qiu was in a red dress which hugged her body tightly; she was big where she should be and perky where she should be. She looked like someone of standing.
“It’s her!” snarled Qin Xiang, “That bitch! Why is she always going up against you?”
If he’d had sex with her when she’d stripped naked to seduce him, and things had worked out, she definitely would’ve divorced her husband to be with him and wouldn’t be his enemy now. However, he had not responded to her seduction and this was, undoubtedly, a great humiliation to a woman like her. Add the dispute over the commissions and the enmity between Chi Jing-Qiu and himself could only deepen.
Chi Jing-Qiu entered Night in Paris and sat opposite Xiang Hong-Bin.
Xia Lei’s left eye twitched and locked onto them. He was prepared to lip-read; just waiting for them to start talking.
A waiter went up to Chi Jing-Qiu and politely asked if she needed anything.
“Just a latte,” said Chi Jing-Qiu disinterestedly.
The waiter left to prepare her order.
Chi Jing-Qiu looked at Xiang Hong-Bin with a smile on her face. “You have it?”
Xiang Hong-Bin nodded and took out the memory card for his phone. “He had drawings in his workshop but I didn’t take them lest it gets discovered. I took pictures. My phone camera resolution is high so the pictures are clear.”
Chi Jing-Qiu reached for the memory card.
Xiang Hong-Bin withdrew his hand. “My money?”
“Afraid that I won’t pay? Humph.” Chi Jing-Qiu rolled her eyes at him, then took out a bulging envelope from her Hermes bag and handed it to him.
Xiang Hong-Bin opened the envelope, glanced at the contents and promptly put it away on his person.
Though the money in the envelope hadn’t been counted, Xia Lei could see the bands used by banks to hold money together; it was 10,000. He felt the heat of anger in his heart as he thought to himself, ‘Damn, I was betrayed for 10,000?’
In the coffee shop, Chi Jing-Qiu inserted the memory card into her own phone and swiped the screen with her fingers. She seemed to have ascertained the value of what was on the memory card and a look of joy appeared between her brows. “Well done. Continue to do well and I will be sure to reward you.”
“What if I get discovered?” asked Xiang Hong-Bin.
Chi Jing-Qiu giggled. “Don’t worry. Even if you’re found out, the most Xia Lei can do to you is fire you. If that happens I can arrange for you to get a job at Far East Heavy Industries. It’s a government-backed corporation - much better than Thunder Horse Manufacturing.”
Xiang Hong-Bin smiled. “That puts my mind at ease, then. I’ll report to you if anything happens at Thunder Horse Manufacturing.”
“Most important is the lathe he’s building. Keep a close watch on him and report to me when you gain any valuable information. You have to be careful, though. Xia Lei is very sly. Don’t let him find out.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Go back,” said Chi Jing-Qiu.
Xiang Hong-Bin stood and left.
The waiter served the latte Chi Jing-Qiu had ordered to the table and she stirred the coffee with her spoon while looking at her phone on the table. She was still looking at the pictures on the memory card but she couldn’t make sense of what she saw.
“I thought you’d charge in there and catch Chi Jing-Qiu and that traiter red-handed.” Qin Xiang spoke in dissatisfaction as he watched Xiang Hong-Bin leave.
Xia Lei smiled. “What’s the use in catching that punk and Chi Jing-Qiu? Think about it - what would a woman like her do with the drawings?”
Qin Xiang paused. “You mean… She’s not the mastermind?”
Xia Lei thought for a bit, then said, “There has to be a buyer for this. If it’s not Elder Mu, then it’s Ning Yuan-Shan. I feel it’s more likely to be Ning Yuan-Shan.”
“So you’re not taking action now because you’re hoping to catch the big fish?”
Xia Lei nodded.
“Okay, what do you want to do?”
“Find a way to get the surveillance video from the coffee shop. We just need the part where Chi Jing-Qiu and that punk did their transaction,” said Xia Lei.
Qin Xiang frowned. “Looks like I’ll have to work overtime tonight. I’ll get wrinkles.”
In the coffee shop, Chi Jing-Qiu picked up her phone and dialled a number. When the call connected, she said, “Chairman Ning, I have Xia Lei’s drawings… What? Send them to you? It’s already so late… Okay, I’ll bring it to you right now. Mm-hm, your home? Sure.”
Call ended, she got up and walked towards the cashier.
Xia Lei stopped using his eye and said, “I’ll follow her. Help me handle the matter of the surveillance footage.”
Qin Xiang smiled. “No worries, easy as pie.”
Chi Jing-Qiu walked out of the coffee shop and got into her Ferrari. She started driving in a certain direction.
Xia Lei dialled a number in his car. When the call connected, he said, “Big Brother Zhou? Sorry for disturbing you at this hour.”
Zhou Wei’s voice came from the phone, “Why the formalities, Chairman Xia? What is it?”
“I have a problem on my side,” said Xia Lei.
“What problem?” Zhou Wei’s voice became anxious in an instant.
“Chairman Ning and his secretary from Far East Heavy Industries have bribed one of my workers. The worker stole my drawings and sneaked pictures of the lathe I’m building.”
“What? How dare he do such a thing!” Zhou Wei’s voice was full of anger. “Where are you now?”
“I’m following Chi Jing-Qiu to Ning Yuan-Shan’s home. She’s about to give the drawings and pictures to him. Big Brother Zhou, I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to keep it a secret. I’m afraid Ning Yuan-Shan may ruin our agreement with his meddling.”
“How dare he!” said Zhou Wei furiously, “Don’t do anything yet; wait for me to come over!”
“Sure. I’ll wait for you,” said Xia Lei.
Xia Lei couldn’t help his smile after he hung up. Far East Heavy Industries was also a government-backed company but it was just a lowly dog compared to the great tiger that was China Industrial Group. Ning Yuan-Shan was considered someone of import in Hai-Zhu but to Mu Jian-Feng, he was less than a section chief or a department head of China Industrial Group like Zhou Wei.
China Industrial Group regarded Josef’s intelligent lathe as something which could revolutionise the manufacturing industry and it also involved the promotion of many a career. In other words, Ning Yuan-Shan was not just going up against one person but a group of tigers! Would China Industrial Group, with Mu Jian-Feng at their head, simply let him off?
Matters had not progressed to that point but Xia Lei could already see Ning Yuan-Shan’s fate.
There was no good ending for a dog fighting tigers for food.

第六十六章
楚云升此时已经清醒过来，这才发现惹大祸了，倒不是担心泄露什么机密出去，这个规则只是古书上浩如烟海的法则中的一个小法则，还是初级形态。 他担心的是自己一个普通人，居然搞出教授们都搞不出的东西，若说没人有疑问简直就是痴人说梦！
方教授突然大吼一声，抓住老孙激动道：“老孙，这不是昨天我论证的、后来又被枪毙掉的课题吗！ ？
孙教授被他一提醒，这才想起罪魁祸首，连忙拽住正准备离开的楚云升，连声说道：“就是他！ 小伙子，你别走！
楚云升定了定心神，脑袋飞速的转动，片刻才开口道：“孙教授，你觉得我一个小本毕业的人，能捣鼓出这个玩意吗？ 完全是碰的，你相信也好，不相信也好，真的是这样的。”
他现在肠子都悔青了，只是可恨当时自己像入了迷一样，一种淋漓尽致的感觉让他喷发而出，根本来不及做其他考虑。
孙教授像是看着史前怪物一样看着楚云升，一会摇头，一会又啧啧称奇，无奈楚云升死活不认，只承认是瞎蒙得，不过这个理由太牵强，似乎相信的人不多。
方教授也不死心地试图从楚云升的嘴里撬出点东西，都被楚云升冷冷地顶了回去，有些讪讪的方教授，拿着稿子一言不发的继续他的推演。
就连那位一直和他保持相当远距离的赵小姐都好奇的凑过来，警惕而又好奇的打量着楚云升。
楚云升带给他们震撼实在太大了，他已经从孙教授的嘴里得知，方老头的这个能量力场图形已经构建了很久，最终实在推演不下去，以为自己方向发生了错误，才忍痛放弃。
这个图形对他们的研究工作意义就像是大厦的基石一样，对暗能大量出现后的，新物理学的建立有着极其重大的意义，按照孙教授的说法，如果楚云升能够解释出那些奇怪字符代表的方程式涵义，配合这个模型图案，甚至可以去申请阳光时代的诺贝尔物理学奖！
楚云升撇嘴笑了笑，还诺贝尔奖呢，现在恐怕瑞典皇室的那些王子公主们，还不知道躲在在那个旮旯对着外面的虫子瑟瑟发抖呢！
他不准备纠缠在这个问题上，赶紧提醒同样对他越来越好奇的杜岐山：“杜团长，时间紧迫，你赶紧安排他们解释一下如何破除雾壁吧！”
杜团长点了点头，现在如果不能安全撤离昆城，任何研究成果都是一纸空文，他清了清嗓子，大声说道：“诸位，诸位，现在请大家讨论一下如何破除雾壁，现在外面极度危险，希望大家团结一致，献计献策，早日离开昆城！”
他的话就像一瓢冷水淋这这些科学家的头上，刚刚热情似火的场面顿时又冷清了下来。
方子文教授站起来，严肃地说道：“九宫雾壁的模型已经建立完毕，次序推导方程式也推演成功，现在的问题不是次序，而是如何迅速以此破坏九个区域的雾源体，而且时间必须控制在十二个小时以内，否则雾源体将重生，雾壁重新启动，这个方面请老孙解释一下。”

他最后的那句话，让整个会议室的气氛更加压抑。
杜团长沉思了一下，招过陶参谋说道：“你立刻带上周威几人，调拨你两辆坦克，全城搜索通知幸存的觉醒战士，尽最大可能集合他们，一同破除雾壁。
他转过身，向孙教授问道：“您担心是不是那种火焰怪物？ 不知道对这种怪物，大家是否有相关它的能力推测，我们需要多少觉醒战士可以对付？
我需要数据，安排部署。 孙教授摇了摇头道：“这种火焰怪物的能力超出了我们的预知，单靠人数无法弥补这种差距，如果强行硬拼的话，损失将极其惨重，甚至全军覆没！”
杜团长闻言眉头几乎拧到了一起，如果拼光了人马，就算出了昆城，距离金陵城也还有很长的一段路，根本无法保证能活着到金陵城。
会议室再次陷入沉寂，各怀心思，忧心忡忡。
楚云升忽然开口道：“杜团长，我或许可以帮你们引开火焰怪物！
他话未说完，就见到整个屋子里的人的目光刷地都射向了他，各种神情都有。
楚云升也不躲避他们的目光，此时他不打算继续隐藏自己的能力，而且他也知道了现在想要离开昆城，凭借自己一个人的能力不太现实，当然如果是送死的话，他也宁愿选择窝在昆城。

杜团长不可思议地疑惑道：“三天时间就可以提升到可以对抗火焰怪的程度吗？
楚云升打断他，说道：“杜团长，这是我的事情，我能给你的保证就是三天后，我可以对抗火焰怪物一分钟的时间，如果你要继续怀疑下去，我们就没办法再谈下去了！”
杜团长沉吟了一下，说道：“那你需要我们做什么？”
第二，你的觉醒战士做最大限度的猎杀红眼怪物，同样我只要怪物的尸体，越多越好！
第三，如果侥幸我们能够逃脱昆城，抵达金陵城，我需要你动用军方的力量帮助我寻找几个人。

Chapter 66 Plan
Chu yun sheng had already come back from the state of trance. he just realised what he has done. it's not that he was worried about exposing some secret, that is just one simple rule amongst other rules in the ancient book, and it is still a primitive model. he was worried that he had constructed something that even the professors couldn't construct, someone is definitely going to question him!
Professor Fang suddenly shouted. he grasped Lao sun’s hand said with full of excitement:"Lao sun, isn't this the subject I deduced and eventually scrapped yesterday!? Who changed! Quick, tell me who changed it!”
Professor sun just remembered the person who caused all this mess after being questioned by him. he immediately dragged chu yun sheng who was about to leave said:" It's him! Young man, don't go! Quick, tell us how did you construct it?”
Chu yun sheng tried to calm himself down, he was trying to think of an excuse he could use:"professor sun, do you think a person who graduated from a small university like me could construct things like that? I don't even know what I was doing. it was just a coincidence. it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, that's the only answer I can give to you.
He very regrets the thing he just did, he almost hates himself for being so concentrated and why he didn't pay attention to the surrounding.
Professor sun looked at him like looking at the endangered animals. one moment he shook his head, next moment he clicks his tongue, however, chu yun sheng insisted it was a coincidence. but this reason was farfetched, no one believed him.
Professor Fang didn't give up, he still tried to make him talk. but he got coldly refused by chu yun sheng, at the end he got no choice but went back to deduce the graph again.
Even the Miss zhao who was always keeping her distance from him, now also got closer to look at him with both curiosity and vigilance.
What Chu yun sheng did, caused a great shock in their group. he had already heard from Professor sun that Professor Fang had been constructed this energy field for a very long time. when he could not deduce any further, he thought he headed to a wrong research direction, so he reluctantly gave up.
The significance of this graph to their research work is like the cornerstone of the building. since the discovery of a large amount of dark energy, it has the major role in establishing the new physics system, according to Professor Sun, if Chu Yun Sheng can explain the meaning of those strange symbols and what do they do in those equations. he could even apply for the Nobel Prize in Physics during the age of light!
Chu yun sheng smiled, at this time, they were still thinking of novel prize. all those academic people in Norwegian probably already left their institution and hid somewhere, they probably could not even control their body from shivering right now.
He did not want to carry on this topic, immediately reminded Du qishan who also seemed to be getting curious:”Commander du, we need to hurry up, please arrange them to show me how to break the fog wall”
Commander du nodded his head, if they could not escape from Kun city, any research results just words on the pieces of paper. so he said loudly:”everyone, everyone, we need to discuss how to break the fog wall, it’s very dangerous outside, we need to leave here as soon as possible, so if you have any method, please tell us now!”
His words just like a bucket of freezing water poured on of everyone’s head, the crowd instantly became silent
Professor Fang Zi Weng stood up and said sternly:" magic square’s model has been constructed. the sequence has also been solved. now the only problem is how to destroy the 9 fog cores and the operation time has to be controlled within 12 hours. otherwise the fog cores will be reborn and the fog wall will be re-activeated. in terms of the specific method, Lao Sun knows better than me, Lao sun please."
Professor Sun explained:"Commander du, based on our assumption. all the giant plants in kun city are all actually connected together. and the fog cores exist on the top of giant plants in each 9 sections. according to our observation recently, those fog cores not only have some strange ability to protect themselves, there are some vicious monsters often appeared around them. so the main objective should be just focusing on destroying the cores a disable the fog walls. In terms of how you going to destroy it. commander du needs to decide it carefully. but I have to remind you, with our ability right now, we probably can not destroy all the fog cores."
His last sentence made all the people in the meeting room even more depressed.
Commander Du thought for a second then spoke to staff officer Tao:”I am giving you two tanks, you take Zhou Wei with you start to search all the awakenings warriors that still alive in this city. tell them we need their help to destroy the fog walls, try to recruit them as many as possible, also……. ”
He turned around ask Professor Sun:"is it the flame monster you are worried about? Do you have any information about them？ how many people do you think we need, I need more information in order to deploy my soldiers."
Professor sun shook his head:" flame monster’s ability is beyond our prediction, you can not use a number of soldiers or the awakenings warriors to make up the power gap. if you really want to use force, then we will suffer a tremendous loss, all our people could die!”
Commander Du heard what he said, his eyebrows were moved together. it is still far away from jin ling city. if all the soldiers and the awakening warriors died, they could not get to jin ling city alive.
The meeting room fell silent, everyone was having different thoughts, and everyone was deeply worried about if the mission will be successful or not.
Suddenly chu yun sheng opened his mouth:" Commander Du, maybe I can help you to distract the flame monster! but….. ”
He did not even get to finish the sentence, everyone in the room shifted their eyes and staring at him with all kinds of expression.
Chu yun sheng did not avoid their eye contact. at this moment, he does not want to hide his ability any more. because he knew that if he wants to leave this city, he has to rely on others as well. of course, if it’s a suicidal mission then he would prefer to stay in this city.
Commander du looked at him in shock, he wanted to recruit chu yun sheng because he thought chu yun sheng’s ability is better than Gan zi qiang, but he did not expect that chu yun sheng could even deal with a flame monster. so he dazed for a minute then said:”Mr. Chu, you know that it is not the time for a joke!”
Chu yun sheng nodded his head:"Commander Du, we need to talk privately!”
They walked into another meeting room. chu yun sheng habitually took out the cigarette started to lit it up:"Commander Du, let’s make it short. first, let me explain what I can do. before you initiate the attack I can distract the flame monster. but I can not kill it, so you only got less than 1 minute time, if you can not destroy fog core in one minute, I can not help you any further. I will run away."
Commander du said sternly:"one minute is enough, but Mr. Chu are you sure that you can divert the flame monster? I don’t want any mistake during the operation "
Chu yun sheng smiled:" at the moment, I can not. that why i need to tell you the second thing, I need three days to increase my power, during these three days, i need some cooperation from your men,”
Commander Du puzzled, he did not believe chu yun sheng:"you just need three days to reach to a level that allows you to deal with the flame monster?........."
Chu yun sheng interrupted him"commander Du, this is my condition. i can assure you I just need three days, and I can distract the flame monster for one minute. if you carry on doubting my ability, i don’t think we need to talk anymore! "
Commander Du thought for a second:”what do you want us to do?”
Second, i need your awakening warriors to kill as many red eye monster as possible. And it is the same, i still need the monster’s body, as many as possible! This is directly related to how long i can distract the flame monster.
Third, if we are lucky enough to escape this city and get to jin ling city alive, I need the military’s power to help me find some people.
I know I probably can not force you to do anything in the future, because i understand you are a soldier To the backbone. so it is useless to threaten you with your life. but i know you are a smart man, you understand the benefits of having a friend rather than the enemy.
But i can tell you, the people i am looking for do not any conflict with the military.”
He has never fought with flame monster directly before, and he still has not reach yuan tian stage two yet. so he does not know for sure how long he could drag the time for. that is why he just mentioned less than one minute.
The red shell insect’s bodies those soldiers collected could be used to increase his combat armour’s defence and the sharpness of qian bi sword. the red eye monsters could be used to increase the blue ripples inside his sword. When dealing with the type of monster that solely made of energy like the flame monster, having The red-eye monster’s blue gas is very important. because its blue gas is very effective at corroding the energy.
As for the last condition. chu yun sheng wants to use Du qishang’s resource to find the man Lin Shui Yao mentioned, it does not matter it is really or not, he needs to see for himself,
I posted a recruitment at Reddit looking for someone who can proofread my work.
hopefully, someone would reply and make chapter easy for you guys to read.
thanks for the support everyone....

第二十一章
“魔山当中竟然有着让虚拟宇宙公司都眼稳的传承？ ……罗峰暗自思量起来。
魔山的历史无比悠久，在虚拟宇宙公司未曾掌控太初秘境前就已经存在，那么这样一座自然形成的魔山，若是蕴含传承，那么所蕴含的传承绝对非同一般。 让不朽神灵们都进去闯荡就很正常了。
罗峰眉头紧皱。
“很有可能！”
“九星海土著们称呼魔山为，传承禁地，亿万年，肯定不会无缘无故这么称呼，肯定有点缘由！ ……罗峰眼睛越来越亮，“而且巴巴塔探渊到的那个老者那么自信说，说经常有不朽神灵闯进去，估计也有点事实依据。”
“不朽神灵进去，干什么？”
“能吸引不朽神灵的，恐怕还真不是普通层次宝物。”
“那个老者说，虚拟宇宙公司经常安排高贵存在和不朽神灵进去，恐怕，是将我和其他殿下认定为一些高贵存在。 他们并不知逊……我们是在执行修炼任务。
……罗峰一笑，忽然整个人愣住了。 “不对！
“修炼任务？”
……罗峰脑海中灵光闪现，瞬间猜到一些奥秘，“当局者迷，旁观者清！ 这句话果真没错……我们这些执行修炼任务的根本没想明白。 可是土著强者们却恐怕真正看到了事实真相！”
“修炼任务？”
有必要，非要送到一些遥远的其他秘境的一些自然诞生的宇宙秘境中冒险么？” 罗峰眼睛亮起来，“恐怕让我们执行修炼任务是一方面，更重要的是……给我们一些突飞猛进的机会！”
“从血浴世界任务，可以看出虚拟宇宙公司的培养思维。”
为什么？ 就是让我们有机会融合血洛晶，实力悟性等方面前有一个提升。” 罗峰眼睛一亮，“对，就是这样！”
“修炼任务，不单单是磨练，恐怕还有一些特殊机遇等待着我们这些天才。 ……罗峰眼睛眯起。
脑海中则是回忆起之前经历的几次危险级任务。
第一次是血浴世界任务，自己得了大机缘，占了大便宜。 可是很显然……得到这个机缘也是虚拟宇宙公司给的机会。
第二次是龙塔星任务，自己当初闯荡猎杀一头头龙时，曾发现龙塔星上很古怪，因为龙塔星上诞生的龙类存在实在太多，且强横无匹。 一颗古老星球上诞生这么多强大龙族有些不可思议，而龙搭星的圣地就是一座巍峨的宝塔又称‘龙塔’，然而那座龙塔周围强大的龙族太多，自己当时仅仅是为了完成任务并没有鲁莽的闯进去。
第三次虚空索崖任务，虚空索崖，那是悬浮在虚空中的无尽山崖，山崖深渊间则是有着一条条诡异粗壮的铛链，虚空索崖实在太诡异，罗峰当时无比警惕，仅仅只是潜入山崖深渊数千公里深度，搜集好任务物品后就立即逃之天天。
五次危险级任务。
这第六次是绝境级别任务，这绝境级任务更是简单，两个任务……是生存三个月（奖励10万积分）。 二是生存三年（奖励30万积分）。
“这些地方，没有一个简单的！”
虚拟宇宙公司的目的是什么？
锻炼、培养！
这些奇险之地蕴含的一些机遇，其实才是修炼任务真正隐藏的奖励。
“没错！”
“应该是这样！
没这个必要！ 让我们去血浴世界，恐怕也希望有人能成血武者乃至黑武者！ 让我们去龙塔星、虚空索崖等地，估计也有些期盼。”
“让绝世天才们进入，魔止”，恐怕也暗含希望，希望我们能够得到这传承禁地的，传承，吧。 ……罗峰连点头，心中越想越觉得就该是这样，这才是培养天才的正确思路，磨砺的同时也给予一些机遇。
“不管成为黑武者，还是得到禁地传承，估计都很难。 否则拥有这魔山亿万年的九星海，早就有一些得到传承的天才的传说了。
这座古老魔山，十有有着传承！
虚拟宇宙公司仅仅是给予天才们一个得到传承的‘机会’。 “绝对没错。
“血浴世界外驻扎着天饮宫，让天饮宫主那等伟大存在驻扎！
那虚空索崖也有着一个个苦修的不朽神灵在虚空索崖上！
这魔山山脚也驻扎着大量的界主和不朽，单单看那些一座座巍峨宫殿就知道，不朽神灵何等的多！” 罗峰暗自点头，“没大秘密，假设只是个试炼地，安排这么多不朽干什么？”
罗峰站在岩石冰层上思索着，越想越肯定，脸上都露出兴奋之色。
“罗峰，你在前方里正有着一头高约39米，长相类似地球上的熊，通体银白色的怪兽。 它正在靠近过来。”
“嗯？”
罗峰眼睛一亮，仔细朝前方看去，片刻遥远处便看到一头憨厚可掏的银白色大熊，这头大熊双蝉银白色，全身仿佛银白色冰块雕刻而成，正慢悠悠的走着，“幻兽，魔山当中和魔音并列的一个威胁‘幻兽’。”
幻兽，是魔山当中自然生成的一种奇特生命。
它们由魔山那极冰冷能量汇聚形成，蕴含着很简单的意识，论聪明程度，恐怕还不及地球上过去的小猫小狗。 可以说……非常的蠢笨！
任何计谋面对它们简单到极致的意识，都无效。
“它自然逸散的能量强度判定，它的实力媲美宇宙级三阶”巴巴塔声音在罗峰识海响起。
“吼～～”那头银白色大熊看到罗峰，顿时激动的发出一声咆哮，而后飞奔着窜来。
埂！ 埂！
速度倒是极快，只是一道迷蒙残影，就轰隆隆冲到罗峰身前。
“这么可爱的幻兽。”
嗤！
头颅被削掉一截，坚硬的冰块抛飞撞击在旁边的岩石山壁上发出清脆撞击声。
“嗤！” “噗！”
刀光一次次闪过，罗峰一次次伤害这头大熊，最终整个幻兽完全四分五裂，无数碎冰块在地面上。
“好奇特的生命，整个身体完全由坚硬冰块构成。 我就算将它四分五裂，它那简单意识依旧没有溃散。” 罗峰惊奇看着地面上无数的冰块，只见这些碎冰块正在缓缓靠拢，两块冰块碰触便迅速融合。
“资料上说幻兽不死，原来是这个道理。” 罗峰摇摇头，迅速离开了，他可没耐心去跟一头比猫狗意识还简单的幻兽去不断杀。
这次运气好，遇到的幻兽比较弱。
魔山中的幻兽，最高是媲美界主巅峰的，而且一些幻兽还经常集体出现。
在一晶莹别透的幽深广阔的岩石冰层通道中，穿着黑色战甲黑色弯角的精瘦男子，一双蝉子隐隐燃烧着火焰，他仿佛闲庭散丵步一般前进着，同时无形的世界之力在周围一千公里范围内弥漫搜索着。
“嗯？” 他眼睛微微一亮。
瞬间化作一道流光，以他界主六阶的实力几乎瞬间便沿着曲折的广阔通道瞬间冲到一千公里外，在一千公里外，一名域主八阶老者和一名宇宙级九阶青年正在小心翼翼前进，彼此还低声交谈：“爷爷，我们只要再坚持两天就到一个月了！”
“嗯，到时候我们就能加入虚拟宇宙公司了。
“什么人！”
爷孙二人瞬间看到一道流光袭来，面色大变，当即欲要逃跑。
委！
炽热的火焰猛地弥漫开，将周围数公里范围完全燃烧起来，那域主八阶老者和宇宙级九阶青年都直接被焚烧至死。
“嗯？” 黑色弯角精瘦男手，那双燃烧着火焰的辉子扫视那宇宙级九阶青年尸体周围，“没有摩云藤残骸？”
“也没有红色身份令牌！
“哼！”
“这个宇宙级九阶，不是神主要找的目标。” 黑色弯角精瘦男子摇头，“目标没找到，反而黑色令牌都凑了一千多了。
这黑色弯角精瘦男子又继续开始探索起来，世界之力搜索着周围上千公里范围……：第一章到！

"Demon mountain actually has treasures the virtual universe would desire?" Luo Feng thought within.
The history of demon mountain was extremely ancient. It had existed long before the Virtual Universe company had taken control of the absolute beginning region. A naturally formed mountain as such would definitely have treasures that were out of the ordinary. It would be normal for them to allow undyings to explore it.
Luo Feng frowned.
"Very likely!"
"The aboriginals of 9 star ocean all call demon mountain the Inheritance forbidden land for hundreds of millions of years. They definitely wouldn’t call it as such for no reason, there’s definitely a meaning behind it!" Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed more, "And Babata’s scan showed that the old man said it with full confidence that there were frequent undyings that explored the mountain, this were probably verified information too."
"Undyings entering here, for what?"
"For something to attract the undyings, these must not be normal treasures at all."
"That old man said that the Virtual Universe company frequently arranges for high level beings and undyings to enter, he probably has me mixed up with their high level beings. They don’t know that im currently just on a training mission." Luo Feng smiled, suddenly he was stunned.
"No!" Luo Feng stared wide eyed, a look of fear.
"Training mission?"
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" His mind flashed with thoughts, he instantly guessed a few of the mysteries. "Only a bystander can see the picture clearly! Indeed this is true…Those of us undergoing these training missions mostly haven’t understood this. However the aboriginals have seen the truth!"
"Training mission?"
"If it were purely for risk, the Virtual Universe company could completely create a risk environment specially for the geniuses to do it in. Why would they need to send them to such a far away naturally produced mysterious place?" His eyes gleamed, "While we are to train on one side, the more important thing is…for us to get the opportunity to evolve even further in a huge burst!"
"From the Blood River world mission, I can see how the virtual universe plans its nurture."
"The Blood River crystal of that world is a contraband item, however, they still let us do the mission. Why? For us to get the chance to absorb the crystals, raising both our comprehension and strength." His eyes glowed, "Right, just like that!"
"The training missions aren’t simply for training. There should still be other miraculous encounters awaiting us geniuses." Luo Feng squinted his eyes.
In his mind the many memories of the dangerous level missions flashed.
During the 1st Blood River world mission, he had a miraculous encounter and gained much from it. However obviously…this was an opportunity supplied by the Virtual Universe company.
The 2nd Dragon tower planet mission, as he hunted each dragon then, he found it strange, the number of types of dragons there was simply too many and extremely powerful. For an ancient planet to produce so many powerful dragon types, that was simply unbelievable. On top of that, the sacred land of the planet was a majestic tower…named dragon tower, there were too many powerful dragon types surrounding that tower. He simply finished the mission back then without actually going to explore in.
The 3rd Space Void mission, an endless cliff floated in space, and in between were peculiar thick chains. This existence was simply too peculiar, Luo Feng was extremely cautious then, only entering a few 1,000 km into its depths, collecting the required mission items before leaving immediately. ...
5 dangerous level missions.
This 6th mission was the impossible level mission. The mission seemed simple with its requirements for completion, as there were only two of them. One, was to survive 3 months (100,000 points) and the 2nd was to survive for 3 years (300,000 points).
"These places, none of them are that simple!"
What was the aim of the Virtual Universe company?
To train, and to nurture ofcourse!
But, the miraculous encounters these places had, were actually the true hidden rewards for the missions.
"Indeed!"
"It should be like that!"
"Otherwise, there’d be no need for us to go to such dangerous places just to gain experience. No such need at all! Letting us go to Blood River world, they are probably wishing for us to become blood warriors and even black warriors! Heading to dragon tower, space void, they probably had some other motives."
"By letting absolute geniuses enter demon mountain, they probably wish too that we’d acquire the inheritance of the forbidden land." Luo Feng nodded. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed right. This was the true thought process of their nurture and training, giving them additional opportunities while training.
"Whether it’s a black warrior, or acquiring the inheritance, they’d both be very hard. Otherwise, there’d long be a genius legendary story of one who’ve acquired it over these trillion years. The Virtual Universe company wouldn’t then need to keep sending undyings in." Luo Feng nodded.
This ancient demon mountain most definitely has treasures!
And acquiring them would be extremely difficult. After all the Virtual Universe company only gave one chance to acquire them to each genius.
"Right."
"Definitely."
"Tian Shi palace is stationed above the Blood River world, and within it was such a level of absolute being! The space void too had undyings that trained hard within! This demon mountain base had large amounts of sector lords and undyings stationed too. Just from the majestic palace alone, one would know how many undyings were around!" Luo Feng thought and nodded. "It’s no secret, if it were just a training ground, why would they put so many undyings around?" ...
Luo Feng stood on the frozen ground and pondered, the more he thought, the more sure he was and he smiled excitedly.
"Luo Feng, 19.6km ahead of you there’s a 39m tall bear like creature, completely silver white beast, and It’s coming over." Babata’s voice resounded in Luo Feng’s mind.
"Hm?"
Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed and he scanned ahead. There, he saw a simple and honest silver white bear. It’s eyes were white too, and it almost looked like a huge ice statue slowly walking over. "Wild beast, one of the threats next to the demon notes."
Wild beasts were special life forms naturally formed in demon mountain.
They were formed in demon mountain’s extreme cold conditions. They had very little intelligence, and in terms of that, they probably couldn’t even compare to the cats and dogs of earth. They could be said to be….extremely stupid! However, because they were that way, they only knew one thing…if they discovered any other beast or life, they would immediately attack!
Any plan against their low intelligence was ineffective.
"From the natural energy it emits, its strength is at universe level 3." Babata’s voice resounded in his mind.
"Howl…" That white bear looked at Luo Feng and immediately let out a howl, rushing over.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
It’s speed was extremely fast, as it became a blur and reached right before Luo Feng.
"Such a cute beast." Luo Feng brandished his blood shadow blade and instantly flashed past the bear, simultaneously slicing its head.
Chi!
After its head was cut off, the solid ice chunks smashed against the stones on the walls. However the beast continued to attack, howling, "Howl…howl…" attacking Luo Feng.
"Chi! Chi!"
His blade flashed over and over. Luo Feng harmed it over and over, only after it was cut into 4 or 5 pieces did the countless ice chunks fall to the ground.
"What a peculiar life form. Its entire body is formed from the solid ice chunks. Even after I cut it up, it’s simple consciousness doesn’t dissipate." Luo Feng looked shocked and curiously at the countless ice chunks. He saw them slightly struggle, and two pieces swiftly began to fuse back together.
"So the information that said these beasts don’t die, it’s like that." Luo Feng shook his head, swiftly leaving. He didn’t have the patience to keep fighting against such a simple intellect beast that was akin to a cat or dog.
His luck was good this time, he met a weaker beast.
The strongest of the beasts were akin to a sector lord pinnacle, and they usually appeared in a group. ...
In this crystal like dark and deep stone pathway, a skinny black horned youth with black armor was present, and his eyes were burning with flames. He walked casually as though leisurely, simultaneously a formless world energy was spread throughout a 1,000km scanning.
"Hm?" His eyes gleamed. Sou!
He immediately became a beam of light, with his sector lord level 6 strength he almost instantly followed the winding pathways and rushed 1,000km. There, a domain lord level 8 and a universe level 9 youth were carefully proceeding, chatting softly, "Grandpa, we just have to press on for another 2 days and it’ll be a month!"
"Hm, then we’ll be able to join the Virtual Universe company."
"Who’s there!"
The 2 of them immediately saw a flash flew over, their expressions changed and they fled.
Rumble!
The burning flame fiercely expanded over, engulfing the several km area. The domain lord level 8 old man and universe level 9 youth were instantly burnt to death.
"Hm?" The black horned skinny youth’s burning eyes scanned that universe level 9 youth’s body surroundings, "No cloud contact vine armor?" After which he waved his hand and acquired the space bracelet and ring, scanning them.
"No red tag!"
"Hmph!"
"This universe level 9 isn’t the target the god wants." The black horned youth shook his head. "I haven’t found the target even after acquiring over 1,000 black tags. I should continue!"
The black horned youth continued to search again, extending his world energy to over 1,000km in area.

那周身上下闪动光芒的巨人，悍然一记中天神掌打出。
整个人，仿佛大日化作人形，光耀天地。
更刚猛！ 更霸道！
一刀劈出，风云破灭，大日无光！
双方对撞，漫天都是破碎的流光，让人无法睁眼直视。
燕赵歌以冰火二气强化自己的视力，这时也感觉微微刺痛，看不真切具体交战结果。
但很快，天地间传来巨大的声响，仿佛一个人后退时，脚重重踏在地面上。
可以明显感到，周围的空气，没有方才那么酷热。
闪烁的光芒黯淡了一些，就见眼前，赫然是潘伯泰所化的巨人，被冲击的向后退！
潘伯泰冷冷说道：“不知天高地厚的小儿，山中无老虎，倒让你这小猢狲猖狂起来了！”
随着他说话，这金光巨人猛然抬起右手，单掌向天。
然后随着那巨人一掌拍落，从他掌心，放出无量光明。
燕赵歌身旁的枯瘦老者脱口而出：“光明普照！”
闻听此言，燕赵歌心中微微一动。
大日圣宗，大日七法之首！
光明普照，天下大白！
此法为一掌式，独立一招，便是一门武道绝学。
没有其他招式连环，没有什么技巧变化，就此一掌，独立成篇。
但这一掌，却位居大日圣宗嫡传武道大日七法之首，凌驾于中天神掌、暮光暗月炁、破晓神剑等诸般绝学之上！
潘伯泰这一掌既出，在场所有人眼中，便只剩下白茫茫一片。
除光之外，再无他物。
但笼罩在这光的世界中，燕赵歌从中却没有体会到丝毫温暖的感觉。
天地不似先前那般酷热难挡，可是却更加令人心悸。
光芒无穷无尽，磅礴浩瀚，从中感觉不到像西斜焚天刀那样的凌厉杀意。 但却充满了不可阻挡，无可匹敌的巨大力量。
仿佛泰山压卵一般，轻而易举的将对方碾压的连灰尘都不剩。
可就在这无量光明普照天地，光耀寰宇的时候，却突然出现了一丝不和谐。
只见光明，白茫茫一片的世界，出现了一条黑线。
那黑线看不见两端尽头，无限延伸出去，就这么横亘于白色世界中，看上去极为扎眼。
燕赵歌有一种感觉，就仿佛眼前世界，像一张白纸似的。
这条黑线的存在，并不是在白纸上画出来的线。
而是白纸，被从中撕裂！
然后勉强拼合在一起，所以使得白纸一样的世界，现在怎么看怎么别扭！ 方才那无量光明，普照天地，碾压一切的恐怖力量意境，也因此而消失不见！
随着黑线的存在，天地虚空，仿佛都在扭曲。
就如同撕裂的白纸，沿着那条裂痕，分作两半，一边向上一边向下的移动，错位开来。
下一刻，光明尽数散尽，众人眼前终于可以看见其他景物。
但天地仍然给人一种扭曲交错的感觉，虚空中，仿佛仍然有一道痕迹存留。
一道恐怖的刀痕！
潘伯泰所化之巨人，闷哼着收回手掌。
掌心处，一道竖裂伤口，看上去触目惊心，仿佛要将他整个手掌分成两半。
天地间风云变幻，自天空之上，真实阳光落下，仿佛铺成阶梯。
一个人在其上现身，动作不疾不徐。
但一步迈出，已经来到石铁身旁，正对着潘伯泰。
他转头冲石铁说道：“大师兄，辛苦了。”
暮光君站在远方，嘴角鲜血流出，目光死死盯着来人：“……燕狄！”
只见来人五官相貌同燕赵歌有六、七分相似。
他的外观看上去，不过三十岁出头而已，只是两鬓上点点星霜。
相貌英伟俊朗，一身气息桀骜霸道，整个人仿佛一柄破天之刀。
正是广乘山传功殿首座长老，被赞誉普天之下，同境界无敌的燕狄！
而方才那斩天裂地，挫退潘伯泰的霸道刀意，更昭示一件事。
不仅仅同境界无敌，便是面对超凡之境的大日圣宗宿老强者潘伯泰，燕狄竟仍然可以占到上风！
听到燕狄的话，石铁脸上露出一丝淡淡笑意：“无妨。”
地面上，燕赵歌嘿嘿笑道：“是我给您和大师伯添麻烦了。”
“家主！” 阿虎单膝跪地，附近的其他广乘山武者，也都向燕狄行礼：“参见燕长老！”
燕狄手凌空一抬，阿虎等人便被他抬起。
他对燕赵歌摆了摆手：“父子之间，何来麻烦一说？”
“这次你主动担当，甘冒风险，给我长脸才是真的。”
“至于说你打死了萧升，潘伯泰来报仇，自有我替你兜着。”
“我替你兜着是应该的，但让大师兄替我们爷俩顶缸，那就没道理了。”
燕赵歌颔首：“自然是要好好谢过大师伯的。” “燕狄……”金光闪耀间，在那巨人的眉心处，渐渐现出一个老者身影，脸色铁青。
他眉头紧锁，此刻他眼中连燕赵歌都看不到了，注意力完全放在燕狄身上。
“广乘山圣兵未出，他是怎么做到的？ 元正峰单枪匹马出手，也只能自保，如何保他突围？”
潘伯泰心中升起不妙的感觉。
他猛然向上抬手，那巨人也是相同动作，直接伸手抓住了头顶悬浮的长刀。
那本来只有四尺长短的长刀，形体轰然扩张变大，瞬间化作一柄开天巨刃。
刀刃之上，一轮轮太阳图纹亮起！
一刀在手，潘伯泰的气势顿时再次猛涨！
天地间，重新变得酷热起来。
金色巨人仍然顶天立地站在大地上，而在其头顶，再次有七轮金色大日浮现，拱卫环绕！
燕赵歌亲眼所见武者施展这一绝学以来，前所未有强大的西斜焚天刀现世！
直面刀锋的燕狄，大笑道：“夕阳迟暮，那就彻底落山吧！”
笑声中，燕狄单手一挥，五指探入虚空之中。
他自虚空中抽刀，但见虚空如流水一般波动。
然后一口闪动淡淡紫光的长刀，出现在众人面前。
燕狄一振刀刃，自那紫色长刀中，传出震耳欲聋的鸣响！
整个天空，这一刻仿佛都在一起怒吼叱咤！
面对潘伯泰的西斜焚天刀，燕狄同样一刀劈出。
万千灵符咒文显现，于虚空中化为众多符阵。
众多符阵层层相叠同样化为一座天坛。
天坛紫光熠熠，在虚空中分明也化为长刀模样。
惊天刀意，与燕狄手中长刀相合，撼天动地！
一刀既出，天地恍惚间，仿佛再次出现分裂错位之象！
犹如画卷，从中央整齐的断裂！
霸道十足，犹如太阳坠地一般威势的西斜焚天刀。
在这更霸道的一刀面前，脆弱如纸！
漫天碎灭的金光之中，潘伯泰所化身的巨人，低沉怒吼，轰然后退！
仿佛垂暮之年，一路下坠的落日！

Chapter 103: Domineering!
HSSB103: Domineering!
That giant whose entire body was flickering with a glow fiercely struck out with a Heaven Striking Palm.
Its entire being resembled the sun having taken humanoid form, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
However, the newcomer’s sword was faster! Tougher! More domineering!
As it chopped down, the clouds and the wind were extinguished, the sun without light!
As both parties clashed, the entire sky was filled with broken streams of light, that others were unable to view directly with their eyes.
At this moment, even with his vision that was bolstered by the twin qis of ice and fire, Yan Zhaoge felt a slight stabbing pain in his eyes as he was unable to properly view the exact battle situation.
But very quickly, a massive boom resounded between the heavens and the earth, resembling a person treading heavily onto the ground when taking a step backwards.
It could clearly be felt that the surrounding air was no longer as unbearably hot as before.
The flickering glow dimmed somewhat as everyone saw that shockingly, the giant that Pan Botai had transformed into, had been sent into retreat by the force of that impact!
Pan Botai said coldly, “A junior who doesn’t know the immensity of the heavens and the profundity of the earth. Having no tiger in the mountain, has actually caused you little monkey to become wildly arrogant!”
Accompanied by his words, the golden giant abruptly raised its right hand, its palm facing the sky.
As that giant slammed down with its palm, that palm began emanating infinite light.
The emaciated Elder beside Yan Zhaoge blurted out, “Light Illuminates All!”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge’s heart shook slightly.
Ranking first amongst the Sacred Sun Clan’s Seven Great Sun Arts!
Light Illuminates All, all beneath the heavens a brilliant white!
While just consisting of a single, independent palm technique, it could already be considered a peak martial art.
Without any other moves to form a combo with, without any variations in its technique; just this one palm, independently forming a tome.
But this palm stood at the head of the Sacred Sun Clan’s direct lineage Seven Great Sun Arts, presiding over the Heaven Striking Palm, the Twilight Dark Moon, the Divine Sword of Dawn as well as those other peak martial arts!
Pan Botai having slammed down with this palm, only a vast expanse of whiteness could be seen before the eyes of everyone present.
Other than light, no other object existed.
However, engulfed by this world of light, Yan Zhaoge could not feel any semblance of warmth from it whatsoever.
The heavens and the earth were no longer unbearably hot like before, yet caused all hearts to palpitate even further.
While no fierce killing intent such as that from the West-tilting Heaven Incinerating Blade could be felt from it, it was filled with an immense force that could not be withstood, that could sweep through all its enemies unopposed.
Like Mount Tai crushing an egg, it easily pressured down upon the other party till not even a speck of dust remained.
But just when this infinite light illuminated all of the heavens and the earth, dazzling the entire world, a hint of incongruity suddenly appeared.
Within the vast expense of whiteness where there was but only light, a black line appeared.
Lying horizontally within the world of white, that black line whose two ends could not be seen as it stretched infinitely out into the distance looked extremely jarring to the eye.
Yan Zhaoge now felt like the world before him resembled a sheet of white paper.
This black line did not exist as a line drawn onto the blank sheet of paper.
Rather, that sheet of white paper was itself being ripped apart from its centre!
Afterwards, the two segments barely piecing themselves back together, the world that resembled a sheet of white paper, however one looked at it, just seemed so awkward!
Accompanied by the existence of the black line, the very sky seemed to be distorting!
Like a sheet of white paper that had been ripped apart, it split into two segments where that rip was, one side moving upwards and the other downwards, sliding past each other.
The next instant, the light had mostly dissipated, other scenes finally appearing before the eyes of those present.
But the heavens and earth still gave off the feeling of being distorted and superposed as, within the air, a mark of what had just transpired still remained.
A terrifying scar!
The giant that Pan Botai had transformed into let out a muffled groan as it retracted its palm.
On its palm, a long, vertical crack appeared, looking absolutely shocking to the eye as the palm seemed to have almost been split into two.
The wind and the clouds in the surrounding area turned illusory, as from the sky above, true sunlight descended, as though paving a stairway.
There, a person materialised, his movements appearing neither fast nor slow.
But with a single stride, he was already by Shi Tie’s side, facing Pan Botai.
Swivelling his head, he said to Shi Tie, “Senior apprentice-brother, it’s been tough on you.”
From a distance, fresh blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth, the Twilight Lord stared fixatedly at the person who had just arrived, “…Yan Di!”
The newcomer’s features were strikingly similar to Yan Zhaoge’s, with a sixty, seventy percent resemblance.
From the outside, he looked not much older than thirty, only a faint bit of grey at his temples.
He was strikingly handsome, his aura untameable and domineering as his entire person resembled a heaven-rending blade.
He was precisely the First Seat Elder of Broad Creed Mountain’s Martial Inheritance Hall, hailed as invincible under the heavens amongst those of a similar cultivation, Yan Di!
And his having sliced apart the heavens and fragmented the earth just now in repelling Pan Botai’s domineering sword-intent, indicated one thing.
Yan Di was not just invincible at his own cultivation level-even against the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Pan Botai, a longtime Elder and expert of the Sacred Sun Clan, he had actually still held the upper hand!
Hearing Yan Di’s words, a faint hint of a smile was revealed on Shi Tie’s face, “It’s fine.”
From the ground, Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “It’s me who’s caused additional trouble for you and eldest apprentice-uncle.”
“Family Head!” Ah Hu knelt down on one knee, as the other Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners in the vicinity also bowed in respect to Yan Di, “We greet Elder Yan!”
With a raise of his hand, Ah Hu and the rest were lifted up by the airborne Yan Di.
He waved dismissively at Yan Zhaoge, “Between father and son, why use the word ‘trouble’?”
“This time, you took the initiative to bear things on your own, being willing to accept the risk that it entailed. It’s more like you’ve gained me face.”
“As for you killing Xiao Shen and Pan Botai coming to take revenge, there is naturally me to take care of things for you.”
“Taking care of it for you is naturally something that I should do. However, letting senior apprentice-brother bear the burden for both of us-now that isn’t right.”
“Yan Di…” A golden light shone, as on the giant’s brows gradually materialised the figure of an old man, a livid expression on his face.
His brows tightly knit, at this moment, his eyes weren’t even seeing Yan Zhaoge, so completely focused was he on Yan Di.
“Broad Creed Mountain’s Sacred Artifact not having moved, how did he do it? Even if Yuan Zhengfeng himself charged in to rescue him, alone, he should only be able to ensure his own personal safety at most, let alone secure his escape?”
A bad feeling rose up within Pan Botai’s heart.
He abruptly raised his arm upwards, the giant moving alongside him as it directly grabbed the sword hovering above its head.
That sword which had originally only been four feet long abruptly increased in size, instantly transforming into a massive blade that seemed like it could split the very heavens apart.
On that blade, numerous sun patterns lit up!
With that sword in hand, Pan Botai’s aura instantly surged once more!
The surrounding area once again turned scorching hot.
The golden giant remained towering tall into the heavens as above its head, seven golden suns appeared once more, surrounding and protecting it!
The massive blade cut down! The strongest West-tilting Heaven Incinerating Blade that Yan Zhaoge had ever seen appeared!
The Yan Di who was directly facing that blade laughed loudly, “Already nearing twilight; that setting sun shall descend for good!”
As he laughed, Yan Di waved his hand, his fingers stretching into the air.
He made a drawing motion within the air, which rippled like flowing water as he did so.
Now, a sword flickering with a faint purple light appeared before everyone’s eyes.
As Yan Di brandished his purple sword, from it, a ringing sound that caused everyone’s ears to be shaken to the point of near deafness resounded!
The entire sky seemed to let out an enraged howl at this moment!
Against Pan Botai’s West-tilting Heaven Incinerating Blade, Yan Di similarly hacked out with his sword.
Thousands, tens of thousands of spirit symbols and sigils appeared, forming numerous symbol arrays in mid-air.
The numerous symbol arrays stacked upon one another in layers, forming a heavenly altar.
The heavenly altar shone with a purple light, as it itself also clearly took on the form of a sword.
As its shocking sword-intent merged into the sword in Yan Di’s hands, the heavens and the earth shuddered!
As that sword struck out, the heavens and the earth seemed to once again vaguely show signs of ripping apart and superposing!
Like the scroll of a painting, it split cleanly apart from its centre!
The extremely domineering West-tilting Heaven Incinerating Blade, with the momentum of the sun plummeting towards the ground.
Was, in front of this even more domineering knife, as fragile as paper!
As the golden light was extinguished, the giant that Pan Botai had transformed into let out a low, enraged roar, forced into retreat!
As though rapidly approaching its twilight years, the setting sun plummeted all the way downwards!

How’s that, the price is fair aye?” The owner smiled servilely. This ski cost three hundred and eighty, since the idiot in front of him wanted to buy it, then he should rip him off more.\n“Ah, not expensive, not expensive at all! Such a wonderful ski board for only three thousand eight hundred, it’s worth it!” Li Shaojie didn’t think that a pair of ski board would b three thousand something kuai, he thought that this would be like ice skates and even the most expensive ones would only cost several hundred, or a thousand, this one pair was nearly four thousand, this was two months of pocket money for him! Thinking about how he only have five thousand something kuai in his bank card, he felt a bit speechless, however he can’t retract what he bragged about doing, if he could buy for Chen Weier, yet not for himself, how much face would he lose! Yet if he doesn’t buy it for Weier, he would have even less face. Li Shaojie clenched his teeth and said, “Weier, what do you think about this?”\n“There’s no need, Li Shaojie-tongxue, I will not accept anything you give!” Chen Weier used the phrase “Lishaojie-tongxue” to clarify their relationship, meaning that don’t always call me Weier, I have nothing to do with you, and it is impossible for me to accept what you give me.\n“About this… okay,” Li Shaojie let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, although Chen Weier didn’t give him any face at all and refused him, it was better than her accepting it and he being unable to afford it.\n“Then do you still want it?” Seeing that Chen Weier didn’t want it, the owner said disappointedly. Such a large amount of money was instantly gone.\n“Yeah, find a pair for me!” Li Shaojie had wanted to buy a ski board for himself as well.\n“Okay, I’ll go immediately!” The owner’s face was once again filled with a joyous smile as he happily turned around to find the ski board from the shelf.\n“Owner, let me see that “Fishman” ski board on your shelf,” I pointed at the ski board on the bottom of the shelf and said.\n“Oh, this?

Even if he didn’t sell it, other shops would, I was clearly different from the idiot just now.\n“I’ll give it to you for six hundred and eighty kuai!” The owner clenched his teeth and said a price like that. This ski board had cost six hundred kuai to buy it in, but it didn’t look as pretty as those crappy goods that cost three four hundred kuai, although the quality was better, most of the skiers here were amateurs, and didn’t understand this, he had hoped to make a good profit from these ski board, but it has nearly been three months, and he has only sold a pair, and it was sold to someone he knows for its cost."

“呵呵，你……”赵颜妍笑嘻嘻的附在陈薇儿耳边小声说了几句话。 陈薇儿的脸立刻红了起来，连忙着摇头说：“这怎么可以呀！”
“颜妍，你刚才和她说了什么？” 我奇怪的问道。
赵颜妍说话的时候，又抬起头，目光飘向了陈薇儿，陈薇儿立刻低下了头。

This fellow had started to cause trouble again.\nYun Zhiguang was a little admiring of summer. This brother-in-law who looked younger than him was too awesome. He even dared to scold the police. No wonder he was able to catch up to his cousin.\nEven the people from the Animal Protection Association thought that this fellow was strange and too strong. Even they were quite polite to the police.\n\"You dare to scold me?\" The middle-aged policeman was extremely angry, \"What is your name? Take out your ID card! \"\n\"My name is Summer, it's Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the number one in the world. My ID card is too lazy to show to an idiot like you, so hurry up and f * ck off.

Although they had never interacted with the police in the summer, it was impossible for them to not have heard of summer, and only at this moment did they understand that there was a reason why Xia could be so arrogant.\n\"Let's go!\" After hesitating for a few seconds, the middle-aged policeman said through gritted teeth. Then, he quickly walked toward the police car that was parked not far away and quickly left.\nThe group of volunteers began to feel that something was not right. This summer guy seemed very powerful, actually scaring away the two policemen with just a name.\nYun Zhiguang, on the other hand, admired Summer more and more. This brother-in-law was really strong. It seemed like he could be saved this time.\nAt that moment, He Yun picked up her cell phone and took a picture of Yun Qing first and then a picture of Xia Xia.\n\"What are you doing?\" Yun Qing was displeased. \"Who asked you to randomly take pictures of others?\"\n\"What is it? Do you know that you're scared now? \" He Yun was very pleased with herself. \"I'll post your photos to Weibo right now and let people see the true colors of people like you. Just wait to be eaten by others!\"\nXia Xia asked Yun Qing curiously, \"Sister Yun Qing, what do you mean by being eaten by humans?\"\n\"The human body search is to get people to find our real information and post it on the internet. When that happens, there will be a lot of people coming to harass us.\" Yun Qing explained in a soft voice before looking at He Yun. \"You can do this, but I can guarantee you that I will not let you go bankrupt!\"\n\"Go ahead and sue, this is not the first time we're going to be beaten up by others. Let's see who will suffer a loss then!\" He Yun sneered, \"Like I said, if you hand the dog over, then nothing will happen to you. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences!\"\n\"Sister Yun Qing, this ugly bastard is threatening us, right?\" Summer asked.\n\"What do you think?\" Yun Wuyi took a glance in the summer, this fellow even asked a question like this, it was true.\n\"I think she was threatening us, so I wanted to beat her up, but she was too ugly. I felt that if I hit her, I would dirty my hands. What do you think I should do?\" Summer looked embarrassed. \"Why don't I get the police to take them all away?\"\n\"Up to you. I just want to settle this matter as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to go to Mu Yang County.\" Yun Qing said casually.\n\"Must we hurry?\" Xia Zhi scratched his head, \"This place is quite far from the police station, they would probably take half an hour to get here. Forget it, I think it's better for me to beat them up!\"\n\"Why don't you try …\" \"Ugh!\" Before He Yun could finish his words, Xia Chen made his move. Since Big Sister Yun Qing wanted to leave quickly, he wouldn't waste any more time.\nMiserable screams rang out. Not long later, other than Xia Chen, Yun Qing, and Yun Zhiguang and Du Qiang, there were no other people standing on the side. Nearly a hundred people had fallen onto the ground, and some of them had even piled up together.\n\"I'm just here to watch the show...\" There was someone there who wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. F * ck, the onlookers really had a risk!\nSummer didn't stop moving. He quickly loaded the dogs into the cages and then went back to Yun Qing's side. He said to Yun Zhi Guang, \"Alright, you can leave now. No one can stop you now!\"\n\"This, this...\" Yun Zhiguang was dumbfounded while Du Qiang was also stunned. What kind of person was this? This was way too heaven-defying!\nYun Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry. \"Why did you beat them up?\"\n\"Sister Yun Qing, this is the fastest!\" Summer had an innocent look.\nYun Qing was speechless, but she had to admit that this was indeed the fastest. However, she also believed that such side effects were the greatest.\n\"Little Light, you should leave first. We'll take care of the rest.\" Since the situation was already like this, Yun Qing could only instruct Yun Zhiguang.\n\"This … Sister Qing, Brother-in-law won't have any trouble right?\" Yun Zhiguang was quite loyal.\n\"I've never had any trouble.\" Summer said, unconcerned.\n\"Don't worry, we'll be fine.\" Yun Qing also said. She knew that she had a good relationship with the police in Jianghai City during the summer, so there shouldn't be any big problems.\n\"Alright then. Sister Qing, Brother-in-law, we'll be leaving first. The buyer is still waiting for us. We came early on purpose and still want to go back tonight.\" Yun Zhiguang did not say anything more. This dog was quite important to him, and that was his precious son's milk money!\nYun Zhiguang and Du Qiang quickly drove away in their truck, while those fellows who had been beaten up in the summer were still lying on the ground, unable to get up.\n\"Sister Yun Qing, let's go.\" He was too lazy to care about these people in the summer.\n\"This, do we ignore them?\" Yun Qing pointed at the people on the ground.\n\"Oh, I'll just call that fellow Huang Anping. I'll have him capture these robbers and bring them back.\" Summer said casually.\nWhen Huang Anping heard that he had captured nearly a hundred robbers, he felt it was a little strange. However, he quickly brought his men over. By the time Huang Anping arrived, there was no trace of Xia Xia and Yun Qing.\nWhen Huang Anping finally cleared up the matter, he felt like crying, but had no tears to shed. Big Brother, you're really too much of a swindler. How could you bring something like this onto his head?\nWhile Huang Anping was complaining, Yun Qing and Xia Xia were rushing towards Moyang County.\nAfter three hours, the two arrived at Mu Yang County. The city was rather old and the roads were mostly filled with three-story houses. There were very few tall buildings and the streets were relatively narrow, indicating the backwardness of Mu Yang County.\nYun Qing stopped the car outside a restaurant and said to Xia Zhi, \"Let's have lunch here first. After lunch, we can go to the countryside.\""

第七百五十九章
听到这声音，中年警察一愣，随即便怒视着夏天：“你说什么？”
“让你滚呗！” 夏天有点不高兴，“反正你这种白痴留在这里也没有用！”
云清顿时无语，这家伙又开始添乱了。
云志光倒是有点崇拜夏天来，这看起来年纪比他小的姐夫，实在是太牛了，连警察也敢骂，怪不得能追上他这表姐呢。
连那些动物保护协会的人也觉得这家伙很奇葩，太强悍了，就算是他们，对警察也还挺客气的。
“你敢骂我？” 中年警察怒极，“你叫什么名字？ 身份证拿出来！”
“我叫夏天，春夏秋冬的夏，天下第一的天，身份证就懒得给你这白痴看了，你还是快滚吧，我不怎么想打人，不想脏了我的手。” 夏天懒洋洋的说道。
“什么？” 中年警察脸色大变，“夏，夏天？”
“喂，你还不滚？” 夏天有点不悦，“是不是非要我揍你呢？”
中年警察脸色有点苍白，而另一个警察神情也颇为难看，他们确实是交警，但他们却也都是江海市的警察，虽说他们没跟夏天打过交道，但若是说他们没听过夏天这名字，那是不可能的，这个时候，他们也才明白，夏天敢这么嚣张，确实是有理由的。
“我们走！” 迟疑了几秒钟，中年警察咬牙说了一句，然后飞快走向停在不远处的警车，快速离去。
那群志愿者开始觉得有点不对劲了，这叫夏天的家伙似乎很厉害，居然说个名字就把俩警察吓走了。
云志光则是越发崇拜夏天，这姐夫真强悍啊，看来这回他有救了。
就在这时，那个贺芸却拿起手机，先对着云清拍了一张照片，然后又对着夏天拍了张照片。
“你做什么？” 云清甚是不悦，“谁让你乱拍别人照片呢？”
现在知道怕了吗？” 贺芸甚是得意，“我马上把你们的照片发到微博上去，让人看看你们这种人的真正面目，你们就等着被人肉吧！”
夏天有点好奇的问了云清一句：“云清姐姐，被人肉是什么意思啊？”
“人肉搜索，就是让人把我们的真实资料都找出来，然后都发到网上，到时候就会有很多人来骚扰我们。” 云清轻声解释了一下，然后她看着贺芸，“你可以这么做，但我可以保证，我会告到你倾家荡产为止！”
“你尽管告，我们也不是第一次人肉别人，看看到时候吃亏的是谁！” 贺芸冷笑一声，“我还是那句话，你们把狗交出来，那就没事，不然，后果自负！”
“云清姐姐，这个丑八怪是在威胁我们吧？” 夏天开口问道。
“你说呢？” 云清白了夏天一眼，这家伙连这种问题也问，真是的。
“我觉得她是在威胁我们，所以我想把她揍一顿，可她实在太丑了，我打她又觉得会脏自己的手，你说怎么办呢？” 夏天一副显得很为难的样子，“要不，我还是让警察来把他们都抓走吧？”
“随便你，我只想快点把这件事处理好，我还等着去木阳县呢。” 云清随口说道。
“要快点啊？” 夏天挠了挠头，“这里离警局挺远的，他们估计得半个小时才过来，算了，我还是把他们都揍一顿吧！”
“你倒是动手试试……呃！” 贺芸话没说完，夏天便动手了，既然云清姐姐想快点走，那他也就不浪费时间了。
一时间惨叫连连，不到一会，除了夏天和云清，还有云志光杜强之外，旁边就没有还站着的人了，近百个人在地上倒了一大片，还有一些人干脆堆在一起。
“我只是看热闹的……”有个人在那欲哭无泪，吗的，围观真的有风险啊！
夏天的动作也没停，他把那些被卸下来的狗笼又以最快的速度装了上去，然后，闪身回到云清身边，对云志光说道：“好了，你把车开走吧，没人可以拦你了！”
“这，这……”云志光目瞪口呆，旁边的杜强也完全傻掉了，这啥人啊，也太逆天了吧！
云清也哭笑不得：“你怎么把他们都打了呢？”
“云清姐姐，这样最快啊！” 夏天一副无辜的表情。
云清顿时无语，可她不得不承认，这确实是最快的，只是，她同样相信，这样的后遗症也是最多的。
“小光，你还是先走吧，其他事情我们来处理就行。” 事情已经这样了，云清也只能这么对云志光吩咐。
“这，清姐，姐夫不会有麻烦吧？” 云志光还是蛮讲义气的。
“我从来都不会有麻烦。” 夏天满不在乎的说道。
“放心吧，我们没事。” 云清也说道，她知道夏天跟江海市警方关系很好，这事应该不会有什么大麻烦。
“那好吧，清姐，姐夫，我们就先走了，买主还在等着呢，我们特意来了个大早，晚上还想回去呢。” 云志光倒也没再多说什么，这车狗对他来说相当重要，那可是他宝贝儿子的奶粉钱啊！
云志光和杜强很快开着货车离开，而那些被夏天揍了一顿的家伙还躺在地上没能起来。
“云清姐姐，我们走吧。” 夏天也懒得理会这些人。
“这个，不管他们了吗？” 云清指了指地上这些人。
“噢，我给黄安平那个家伙打个电话就是了，让他来把这些劫匪都抓回去。” 夏天随口说道。
夏天说着还真给黄安平打了个电话，黄安平听说他抓了近百个劫匪，虽然觉得有点诡异，但很快还是带着人过来，而等黄安平到来的时候，夏天和云清已经没了踪影。
等黄安平总算把事情弄清楚之后，一时有种欲哭无泪的感觉，大哥啊，你真是太坑弟了，怎么能把这种事弄到他头上来呢？
黄安平在这抱怨的时候，云清和夏天正朝木阳县赶去。
而三个小时之后，两人便抵达了木阳县城，县城颇为老旧，路边大都是三层楼高的房子，很少见到高楼，街道也比较窄，这一切都显示着木阳县的落后。
云清把车子停在了一家餐馆外面，对夏天说道：“我们先在这吃午饭吧，吃完饭之后，我们再去乡下。”

Chapter 759
Hearing this voice, the middle-aged policeman was stunned for a moment before glaring angrily at Xia Zhi, "What did you say?"
"I told you to scram!" Xia Chen was a little unhappy, "Anyway, it's useless for an idiot like you to stay here!"
Yun Qing was speechless. This fellow had started to cause trouble again.
Yun Zhiguang was a little admiring of summer. This brother-in-law who looked younger than him was too awesome. He even dared to scold the police. No wonder he was able to catch up to his cousin.
Even the people from the Animal Protection Association thought that this fellow was strange and too strong. Even they were quite polite to the police.
"You dare to scold me?" The middle-aged policeman was extremely angry, "What is your name? Take out your ID card! "
"My name is Summer, it's Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the number one in the world. My ID card is too lazy to show to an idiot like you, so hurry up and f * ck off. I don't really want to hit anyone, I don't want to dirty my hands." Summer said lazily.
"What?" The middle-aged policeman's facial expression changed drastically, "Summer, summer?"
"Hey, are you still not getting out?" Xia Chen was a little displeased. "Do you want me to beat you up?"
They were indeed traffic policemen, but they were also the police of Jianghai City. Although they had never interacted with the police in the summer, it was impossible for them to not have heard of summer, and only at this moment did they understand that there was a reason why Xia could be so arrogant.
"Let's go!" After hesitating for a few seconds, the middle-aged policeman said through gritted teeth. Then, he quickly walked toward the police car that was parked not far away and quickly left.
The group of volunteers began to feel that something was not right. This summer guy seemed very powerful, actually scaring away the two policemen with just a name.
Yun Zhiguang, on the other hand, admired Summer more and more. This brother-in-law was really strong. It seemed like he could be saved this time.
At that moment, He Yun picked up her cell phone and took a picture of Yun Qing first and then a picture of Xia Xia.
"What are you doing?" Yun Qing was displeased. "Who asked you to randomly take pictures of others?"
"What is it? Do you know that you're scared now? " He Yun was very pleased with herself. "I'll post your photos to Weibo right now and let people see the true colors of people like you. Just wait to be eaten by others!"
Xia Xia asked Yun Qing curiously, "Sister Yun Qing, what do you mean by being eaten by humans?"
"The human body search is to get people to find our real information and post it on the internet. When that happens, there will be a lot of people coming to harass us." Yun Qing explained in a soft voice before looking at He Yun. "You can do this, but I can guarantee you that I will not let you go bankrupt!"
"Go ahead and sue, this is not the first time we're going to be beaten up by others. Let's see who will suffer a loss then!" He Yun sneered, "Like I said, if you hand the dog over, then nothing will happen to you. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences!"
"Sister Yun Qing, this ugly bastard is threatening us, right?" Summer asked.
"What do you think?" Yun Wuyi took a glance in the summer, this fellow even asked a question like this, it was true.
"I think she was threatening us, so I wanted to beat her up, but she was too ugly. I felt that if I hit her, I would dirty my hands. What do you think I should do?" Summer looked embarrassed. "Why don't I get the police to take them all away?"
"Up to you. I just want to settle this matter as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to go to Mu Yang County." Yun Qing said casually.
"Must we hurry?" Xia Zhi scratched his head, "This place is quite far from the police station, they would probably take half an hour to get here. Forget it, I think it's better for me to beat them up!"
"Why don't you try …" "Ugh!" Before He Yun could finish his words, Xia Chen made his move. Since Big Sister Yun Qing wanted to leave quickly, he wouldn't waste any more time.
Miserable screams rang out. Not long later, other than Xia Chen, Yun Qing, and Yun Zhiguang and Du Qiang, there were no other people standing on the side. Nearly a hundred people had fallen onto the ground, and some of them had even piled up together.
"I'm just here to watch the show..." There was someone there who wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. F * ck, the onlookers really had a risk!
Summer didn't stop moving. He quickly loaded the dogs into the cages and then went back to Yun Qing's side. He said to Yun Zhi Guang, "Alright, you can leave now. No one can stop you now!"
"This, this..." Yun Zhiguang was dumbfounded while Du Qiang was also stunned. What kind of person was this? This was way too heaven-defying!
Yun Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why did you beat them up?"
"Sister Yun Qing, this is the fastest!" Summer had an innocent look.
Yun Qing was speechless, but she had to admit that this was indeed the fastest. However, she also believed that such side effects were the greatest.
"Little Light, you should leave first. We'll take care of the rest." Since the situation was already like this, Yun Qing could only instruct Yun Zhiguang.
"This … Sister Qing, Brother-in-law won't have any trouble right?" Yun Zhiguang was quite loyal.
"I've never had any trouble." Summer said, unconcerned.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Yun Qing also said. She knew that she had a good relationship with the police in Jianghai City during the summer, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Alright then. Sister Qing, Brother-in-law, we'll be leaving first. The buyer is still waiting for us. We came early on purpose and still want to go back tonight." Yun Zhiguang did not say anything more. This dog was quite important to him, and that was his precious son's milk money!
Yun Zhiguang and Du Qiang quickly drove away in their truck, while those fellows who had been beaten up in the summer were still lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"Sister Yun Qing, let's go." He was too lazy to care about these people in the summer.
"This, do we ignore them?" Yun Qing pointed at the people on the ground.
"Oh, I'll just call that fellow Huang Anping. I'll have him capture these robbers and bring them back." Summer said casually.
When Huang Anping heard that he had captured nearly a hundred robbers, he felt it was a little strange. However, he quickly brought his men over. By the time Huang Anping arrived, there was no trace of Xia Xia and Yun Qing.
When Huang Anping finally cleared up the matter, he felt like crying, but had no tears to shed. Big Brother, you're really too much of a swindler. How could you bring something like this onto his head?
While Huang Anping was complaining, Yun Qing and Xia Xia were rushing towards Moyang County.
After three hours, the two arrived at Mu Yang County. The city was rather old and the roads were mostly filled with three-story houses. There were very few tall buildings and the streets were relatively narrow, indicating the backwardness of Mu Yang County.
Yun Qing stopped the car outside a restaurant and said to Xia Zhi, "Let's have lunch here first. After lunch, we can go to the countryside."

I certainly know about webnovel authors. I'm not an alien or living in seclusion. I frequently read webnovels, and I even made accounts on the various novel sites. I even cast a vote in the monthly ranking and subscribe to the authors I like.\"\n\"...\" Song Shuhang forced a smile and wrote: \"Moumou, such being the case, do you have any interest in writing novels?\"\nAfter reading this message, Gao Moumou's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body stiffened.\nAs previously mentioned, Gao Moumou was indeed interested in writing novels... however, he had never shown the stories he had written to the people he knew in real life.\nFor Gao Moumou, writing novels was like writing a personal diary. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to make the people he was familiar with read them.\nAs if that wasn't enough, his pen name was quite childish, and several of the novels he wrote gave off an extreme chuuni vibe. If someone that knew him in real life were to read them, it would be the end of his life!\nWhy did Song Shuhang ask such a question? Is it possible that he knows about me writing novels in secret? Gao Moumou thought to himself.\nImpossible! I took many precautions, and I'm sure I didn't leave any traces behind! Even while stealthily writing in the dormitory, I quietly hid in my upper berth, away from the gazes of my roommates! They shouldn't have discovered me!\nAfter pondering for a moment, Gao Moumou wrote: \"No, I don't have such an interest. Anyway, why the question? Shuhang, are you planning to start writing a novel?\"\n\"No, that's not it. I just thought of something and asked,\" Song Shuhang quickly wrote in reply.\nSince Gao Moumou doesn't seem someone interested in writing novels, the 'Yu Jiaojiao' that added him should have nothing to do with the reversed mermaid Yu Jiaojiao I know, right?\nMaybe it's just a coincidence, and she is just another girl using 'Yu Jiaojiao' as her nickname?\nAfter thinking up to his point, Song Shuhang had calmed down a little. Yu Jiaojiao was planning to catch a certain author and lock him inside a small black room, making him write 20,000 characters every day and not giving him food to eat if he couldn't finish the work in time...\nIf the author she was going to catch was really Gao Moumou, how was Song Shuhang supposed to face his friend?\nAfter all, Yu Jiaojiao was planning to have that very author write the plot of the small movie they were going to shoot. In that case, how was Song Shuhang, who was one of the investors and actors starring in the movie, supposed to face the author if he was his friend?\nAnyway, now that it was confirmed that the author wasn't Gao Moumou, there was nothing to worry about.\n\"Shuhang, you always ask strange questions lately. Did you turn into a bookworm after reading too many books?\" Gao Moumou teased him. Then, he wrote: \"Anyway, see you later. Let me dally a bit with Miss Yu Jiaojiao. I'll try to convince her to send me a picture. If she's cute, I'll give you her account number so that you can try to win her over.\"\nAfter writing this much, Gao Moumou didn't wait for Song Shuhang's reply and switched to Yu Jiaojiao's chat window.\nThree minutes earlier, Miss Yu Jiaojiao had sent the following message: \"Excuse me, are you Holy Paladin, the author of the ❮*****❯ novel? 😊\"\nGao Moumou wrote: \"Yes, that's me!\"\n\"Holy Paladin, I've been following your book for quite a while~ I have to say that it's really entertaining. Your pen name is also very interesting,\" Yu Jiaojiao wrote.\nGao Moumou wrote: \"🤣 Miss Jiaojiao, your username is also very interesting.\"\n\"Holy Paladin, do you live in the Jiangnan area of China?\" Yu Jiaojiao asked.\nGao Moumou wrote: \"Ah, yes. It's all written in my basic information~ Anyway, what about you, Miss Jiaojiao?\"\nYu Jiaojiao wrote: \"I live close to the East China Sea, hehe.\"\n\"Close to the East China Sea? What a coincidence. I went on a trip to the East China Sea and returned just recently.\" Gao Moumou skillfully typed on the keyboard.\nAfter a few sentences, Gao Moumou had already started to get more familiar with Yu Jiaojiao. Of course, he had no intention of starting an online love affair.\nHe already had a girlfriend, and he wasn't someone that would go around hitting on girls in real life. After all, he was very faithful to Yayi, it should be clear from his actions on the mysterious island. In order to save his beloved girlfriend, he rushed ahead by disregarding his own safety and fell into the talons of the huge eagles. It was a pity that Gao Moumou had lost memory of it.\nAnyway, since he couldn't flirt with girls in real life, he could only flirt with them online. Moreover, he wasn't using his personal account to flirt but the one reserved for his activities as an author.\nAs the saying went: 'practice makes perfect'.\nUnknowingly, Gao Moumou's 'online flirting' skills had reached a very high level.\nAfter a while, thanks to Gao Moumou's skills, the two of them had started to happily chat as though they were a couple.\nThereupon, Gao Moumou seized the opportunity and asked Yu Jiaojiao to send him one of her pictures.\n\"Sure, just wait a moment. I'll flip through the photo album and send you a picture.\" Yu Jiaojiao's reply was very straightforward.\nSoon after, Yu Jiaojiao sent him the picture of an incredible beauty.\nThe background of the picture was a beautiful pond located inside a courtyard. The sun was shining brightly, and a woman with black, wavy hair was sitting next to the small pond. Her exquisite facial features resembled that of an elf, and she gave off the faint impression of being an ethnically mixed person. She had light blue eyes and skin that was as white as jade. She was wearing a long skirt; the end of the skirt was immersed in the water of the pond.\nThe beautiful woman was holding a small thing in her hand. But due to the distance, it wasn't clear what that thing was.\nYu Jiaojiao indeed sent one of her pictures...\nHowever, the beautiful woman in the picture was Yu Jiaojiao's mother. Her mother was a fish of the Fifth Stage Realm that could assume human form. She was extremely attractive, just like a mermaid.\nAs for Yu Jiaojiao... she was that small thing that her mother was holding in her hand, hardly visible.\nAfter seeing the photo, Gao Moumou was dazzled by the beauty of the woman. The girl in the picture was truly attractive!\n\"Is this the work of a god-like photographer? Or is the picture photoshopped?\" Gao Moumou copied the picture and sent it to Li Yangde.\nGao Moumou: \"Yangde, are you online? Can you tell me if the girl in this picture was photoshopped?\"\nLi Yangde replied: \"Wait a moment.\"\nTen seconds later, Li Yangde wrote: \"It doesn't look photoshopped. However, it's true that the picture seems a little too beautiful! Either it was photoshopped so well that even I didn't notice or the girl in the picture is really that beautiful, and it reached such a perfect result coupled with the godly skills of the photographer.\nGao Moumou smiled and wrote: \"In other words, the picture is real? This girl is even more beautiful than the celebrities you see on the TV! I'll send the picture to Tubo and Shuhang as well. It's a girl that I just added as a friend online, do you want me to introduce her to you?\"\n\"...\" Gao Moumou.\nAfterward, he sent the picture to Song Shuhang and Tubo, writing: \"Shuhang, this is the picture of that 'Yu Jiaojiao' I told you about earlier. What do you think of her? She is beautiful, isn't she? Did she manage to move your heart?\"\nAfter receiving the picture, Song Shuhang looked at it for a while. The girl didn't seem to be the half-human and half-fish Yu Jiaojiao he knew. Such being the case, was it just a beautiful misunderstanding?\nAt this time, Gao Moumou smiled and wrote: \"Do you want this brother of yours to introduce you two so that you can know each other better?\"\nSong Shuhang gently smiled and replied, \"There is no need, but thanks for your kind intentions.\"\nAt the moment, he really didn't have the time to fall in love!"

第539章
高某某：“你这不是废话嘛，网文作者我当然知道了啊。
我又不是外星人，我也经常看网文的。 我还有好几个看书账号，专门为自己喜欢的作者投票、订阅的。”
“……”宋书航干笑一声，又问道：“那某某，你对写网文有兴趣吗？”
高某某看到这里时，心里‘咯噔’一下，整个身体都僵了僵。
前面也说过，高某某的兴趣是写网文——但是他从不会将自己写的东西给自己熟识的人看。
对高某某来说，他写的网文就像是自己的私人日记，如果给自己熟识的人看到，会很羞涩的。
特别是，高某某的笔名很中二。 他以前还写过很多中二风格严重的，如果被熟识的人看到，那简直是黑历史啊。
［宋书航这么问是什么意思？ 难道他知道我在偷偷写？
不会啊，我一直掩饰的很好的啊！ 特别在宿舍偷偷写作时，都是注意躲在自己的上铺，避开室友的目光的，不可能被发现的！
想了想后，高某某回复道：“没兴趣，为什么这么问？ 难道书航你想写？”
“不是不是，只是突发奇想罢了。” 宋书航迅速回复道。
高某某对写没兴趣，那他加的‘鱼娇娇’，应该不是美鱼人娇娇姑娘了吧？
或许，是一个巧合网名昵称也是‘鱼娇娇’的妹子？
宋书航稍稍放心了下来——因为想想啊，突然鱼娇娇捉了个作者过来写作，将他关在小黑屋里，一天要他写两万字，写不出不给饭吃。
然后这个作者却是高某某的话……宋书航要怎么去面对自己的这位好友？
特别是，鱼娇娇还打算让这个作者写剧本，拍部小电影来着。 到时候，做为电影的投资人加演员之一的宋书航，要怎么面对这位作者？
反正，不是高某某就好。
“书航你总是会问些奇怪的问题。
说着，不等宋书航回应，高某某迅速切换到和‘鱼娇娇’的聊天窗口。
这位鱼娇娇姑娘，三分钟前发来的消息：“请问是《＊＊＊＊＊》的作者奶骑吗？
高某某：“没错。 我就是！”
“奶骑，我一直在追你的书～～真的很有趣。 你的笔名也很有趣。”
高某某：“［哈哈大笑表情］。 娇娇你的网名也很有趣。”
“奶骑，你是华夏江南地区的人吗？” 鱼娇娇又问道。
高某某：“啊，没错。 我个人资料上都写着呢～～娇娇姑娘你呢？”
鱼娇娇：“我住在东海附近，嘻嘻。”
说来也巧，我不久前刚从东海那里旅游回来。” 高某某熟练的敲打着键盘。
短短几句话中，高某某已经开始和鱼娇娇拉近关系。 当然，某某并没有要发展网恋的打算。
他毕竟是有女友的男人，现实中他是不会去撩妹的，他对芽衣的感情可是很坚定的——这点从神秘岛上就可以看出。 为了救自己的女友，他奋不顾身，最后自己却被大鹰抓走。
现实中不能撩妹，所以，高某某也只有在网上撩妹。 而且，他也不会用自己的私人账号撩妹，只用那个作者号撩妹。
所谓熟能生巧。
高某某的‘网上撩妹’技能，不知不觉练到了很高级的程度。
和鱼娇娇又聊了会儿后，在高某某的配合下，两个人很快就‘相谈甚欢’。
高某某顺其自然，趁机向鱼娇娇提出了‘来张漂亮的美照看看’的请求。
“没问题，你等我一下，我翻下相册。” 鱼娇娇回答的特别爽快。
一张漂亮的大美人照片就被鱼娇娇发送过来。
照片地点是一处漂亮的庭院小池塘，阳光灿烂，一位波浪卷黑发的女子侧坐在池塘边。 她面貌精致的如同精灵，带点混血美人的感觉。
大美人的手中。 则捧着一只小小的东西，隔的较远，看不清楚这小东西是什么。
不过，照片上的这大美人乃是鱼娇娇的……老妈。
她的老妈，是五品化形的人鱼，特别漂亮。
至于鱼娇娇——妈妈手中捧着的那根本看不清的物体，才是她。
高某某看到这照片时，被惊艳到了。 这妹子老漂亮了啊！
还是Ｐ的图？” 高某某复制了这张照片，飞快的转发给自己的好友李阳德。
高某某：“阳德，还在不，给我看看这张照片上的妹子，是不是Ｐ的图？”
“稍等。” 李阳德回复道。
要么是这图Ｐ的技术太好了，连我都看不出来；要么是这张上的姑娘本身很漂亮，再加上摄像师传奇级别的拍照技术，达到了这么完美的效果。” 高某某呵呵笑道：“也就是说，很可能是真的喽？
这可比明星还要漂亮啊，我再去给土波和书航也发一份，这是我刚在网上加的一个妹子，要不要介绍给你们认识？”
“不用，我有电脑就够了。”
李阳德很干脆的回复道。 然后，他给宋书航和土波都发了份：“书航，这就是刚才那个‘鱼娇娇’发来的照片，怎么样，很漂亮吧？ 有没有心动？”
宋书航接收到照片后，看了看，彻底松了口气。 不是半鱼半身的鱼娇娇，看样子真的是一场美丽的误会。
这时，高某某笑道：“要不要哥哥介绍她给你认识认识？”
“不用了，你的好意老夫心领了。” 宋书航轻轻一笑。
他现在哪有时间恋爱啊！

Chapter 539: It just seems to be a beautiful misunderstanding
Chapter 539: It just seems to be a beautiful misunderstanding Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Gao Moumou wrote: "What are you talking about? I certainly know about webnovel authors. I'm not an alien or living in seclusion. I frequently read webnovels, and I even made accounts on the various novel sites. I even cast a vote in the monthly ranking and subscribe to the authors I like."
"..." Song Shuhang forced a smile and wrote: "Moumou, such being the case, do you have any interest in writing novels?"
After reading this message, Gao Moumou's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body stiffened.
As previously mentioned, Gao Moumou was indeed interested in writing novels... however, he had never shown the stories he had written to the people he knew in real life.
For Gao Moumou, writing novels was like writing a personal diary. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to make the people he was familiar with read them.
As if that wasn't enough, his pen name was quite childish, and several of the novels he wrote gave off an extreme chuuni vibe. If someone that knew him in real life were to read them, it would be the end of his life!
Why did Song Shuhang ask such a question? Is it possible that he knows about me writing novels in secret? Gao Moumou thought to himself.
Impossible! I took many precautions, and I'm sure I didn't leave any traces behind! Even while stealthily writing in the dormitory, I quietly hid in my upper berth, away from the gazes of my roommates! They shouldn't have discovered me!
After pondering for a moment, Gao Moumou wrote: "No, I don't have such an interest. Anyway, why the question? Shuhang, are you planning to start writing a novel?"
"No, that's not it. I just thought of something and asked," Song Shuhang quickly wrote in reply.
Since Gao Moumou doesn't seem someone interested in writing novels, the 'Yu Jiaojiao' that added him should have nothing to do with the reversed mermaid Yu Jiaojiao I know, right?
Maybe it's just a coincidence, and she is just another girl using 'Yu Jiaojiao' as her nickname?
After thinking up to his point, Song Shuhang had calmed down a little. Yu Jiaojiao was planning to catch a certain author and lock him inside a small black room, making him write 20,000 characters every day and not giving him food to eat if he couldn't finish the work in time...
If the author she was going to catch was really Gao Moumou, how was Song Shuhang supposed to face his friend?
After all, Yu Jiaojiao was planning to have that very author write the plot of the small movie they were going to shoot. In that case, how was Song Shuhang, who was one of the investors and actors starring in the movie, supposed to face the author if he was his friend?
Anyway, now that it was confirmed that the author wasn't Gao Moumou, there was nothing to worry about.
"Shuhang, you always ask strange questions lately. Did you turn into a bookworm after reading too many books?" Gao Moumou teased him. Then, he wrote: "Anyway, see you later. Let me dally a bit with Miss Yu Jiaojiao. I'll try to convince her to send me a picture. If she's cute, I'll give you her account number so that you can try to win her over."
After writing this much, Gao Moumou didn't wait for Song Shuhang's reply and switched to Yu Jiaojiao's chat window.
Three minutes earlier, Miss Yu Jiaojiao had sent the following message: "Excuse me, are you Holy Paladin, the author of the ❮*****❯ novel? 😊"
Gao Moumou wrote: "Yes, that's me!"
"Holy Paladin, I've been following your book for quite a while~ I have to say that it's really entertaining. Your pen name is also very interesting," Yu Jiaojiao wrote.
Gao Moumou wrote: "🤣 Miss Jiaojiao, your username is also very interesting."
"Holy Paladin, do you live in the Jiangnan area of China?" Yu Jiaojiao asked.
Gao Moumou wrote: "Ah, yes. It's all written in my basic information~ Anyway, what about you, Miss Jiaojiao?"
Yu Jiaojiao wrote: "I live close to the East China Sea, hehe."
"Close to the East China Sea? What a coincidence. I went on a trip to the East China Sea and returned just recently." Gao Moumou skillfully typed on the keyboard.
After a few sentences, Gao Moumou had already started to get more familiar with Yu Jiaojiao. Of course, he had no intention of starting an online love affair.
He already had a girlfriend, and he wasn't someone that would go around hitting on girls in real life. After all, he was very faithful to Yayi, it should be clear from his actions on the mysterious island. In order to save his beloved girlfriend, he rushed ahead by disregarding his own safety and fell into the talons of the huge eagles. It was a pity that Gao Moumou had lost memory of it.
Anyway, since he couldn't flirt with girls in real life, he could only flirt with them online. Moreover, he wasn't using his personal account to flirt but the one reserved for his activities as an author.
As the saying went: 'practice makes perfect'.
Unknowingly, Gao Moumou's 'online flirting' skills had reached a very high level.
After a while, thanks to Gao Moumou's skills, the two of them had started to happily chat as though they were a couple.
Thereupon, Gao Moumou seized the opportunity and asked Yu Jiaojiao to send him one of her pictures.
"Sure, just wait a moment. I'll flip through the photo album and send you a picture." Yu Jiaojiao's reply was very straightforward.
Soon after, Yu Jiaojiao sent him the picture of an incredible beauty.
The background of the picture was a beautiful pond located inside a courtyard. The sun was shining brightly, and a woman with black, wavy hair was sitting next to the small pond. Her exquisite facial features resembled that of an elf, and she gave off the faint impression of being an ethnically mixed person. She had light blue eyes and skin that was as white as jade. She was wearing a long skirt; the end of the skirt was immersed in the water of the pond.
The beautiful woman was holding a small thing in her hand. But due to the distance, it wasn't clear what that thing was.
Yu Jiaojiao indeed sent one of her pictures...
However, the beautiful woman in the picture was Yu Jiaojiao's mother. Her mother was a fish of the Fifth Stage Realm that could assume human form. She was extremely attractive, just like a mermaid.
As for Yu Jiaojiao... she was that small thing that her mother was holding in her hand, hardly visible.
After seeing the photo, Gao Moumou was dazzled by the beauty of the woman. The girl in the picture was truly attractive!
"Is this the work of a god-like photographer? Or is the picture photoshopped?" Gao Moumou copied the picture and sent it to Li Yangde.
Gao Moumou: "Yangde, are you online? Can you tell me if the girl in this picture was photoshopped?"
Li Yangde replied: "Wait a moment."
Ten seconds later, Li Yangde wrote: "It doesn't look photoshopped. However, it's true that the picture seems a little too beautiful! Either it was photoshopped so well that even I didn't notice or the girl in the picture is really that beautiful, and it reached such a perfect result coupled with the godly skills of the photographer.
Gao Moumou smiled and wrote: "In other words, the picture is real? This girl is even more beautiful than the celebrities you see on the TV! I'll send the picture to Tubo and Shuhang as well. It's a girl that I just added as a friend online, do you want me to introduce her to you?"
"..." Gao Moumou.
Afterward, he sent the picture to Song Shuhang and Tubo, writing: "Shuhang, this is the picture of that 'Yu Jiaojiao' I told you about earlier. What do you think of her? She is beautiful, isn't she? Did she manage to move your heart?"
After receiving the picture, Song Shuhang looked at it for a while. The girl didn't seem to be the half-human and half-fish Yu Jiaojiao he knew. Such being the case, was it just a beautiful misunderstanding?
At this time, Gao Moumou smiled and wrote: "Do you want this brother of yours to introduce you two so that you can know each other better?"
Song Shuhang gently smiled and replied, "There is no need, but thanks for your kind intentions."
At the moment, he really didn't have the time to fall in love!

"value": "Chapter 197: Chen Burang\n“Let’s go! I’ll help you to the side.”\nWang Chong supported Zhao Jingdian over to the side. After he consumed the pill and rested for a moment, Zhao Jingdian’s complexion gradually recovered.\n“Gongzi, how do you know that I’m cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks?”\nAfter looking around and ensuring that there was no one within earshot, Zhao Jingdian finally asked Wang Chong the question that had been bugging in his mind.\nHorse Trampling the Barracks was an ultimate technique of the Zhao Clan. It enhanced one’s agility explosively for a short period of time, allowing one to create three after images to confuse and break through an opponent’s defense.\nUsually, when on defense, one’s attention would be focused on the enemy’s upper body. However, the crux of the ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ actually lay in the feet.\nAll it took was a momentary lapse in judgement for the instructor to fall for Zhao Jingdian’s ploy and be kicked on his chest.\nHowever, even though this was a mystical move that was exceptionally useful in breaking through an enemy’s defense when the other party was unprepared, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Hence, there were very few Zhao Clan members who had managed to successfully cultivate it.\nIn truth, Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ on secret. Even his grandfather was unaware of it. As he hadn’t completed his cultivation of the technique yet, he didn’t even consider using it in a practical battle. In truth, the mouthful of blood he spewed previously was mostly due to a backlash from his inner energy.\n“Heh, my grandfather had once told me about the Zhao Clan’s Horse Trampling the Barracks and gauging from your Origin Energy Tier 7 cultivation, I guessed that you might have started cultivating this secret art.”\nWang Chong said.\n“So it’s Duke Jiu!”\nZhao Jingdian was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. Any bizarre occurrence could be explained if Duke Jiu was involved. He might have been able to hide the fact that he was cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks from others but he didn’t think that he would be able to conceal it from Duke Jiu’s sharp eyes.\nSeeing Zhao Jingdian’s expression, Wang Chong couldn’t help but chuckle internally.\nWas there even a need for him to ask grandfather on Zhao Jingdian’s affairs? In his previous life, the two of them had fought alongside and conquered many battlefields together. He couldn’t be any more familiar with the other party’s martial arts.\nWhether Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ or not and how far he had progressed in it, Wang Chong could tell in a single glance.\n“There’s a reason why I insisted for you to come under him. Even though those who graduate from the training camp in the future would eventually reach great heights in the future, that instructor is different. While others have to spend several years toiling at the bottom layer, we’ll be able to take on the role of a lieutenant straight and lead an army to a battlefield. By then, you’ll know that this mouthful of blood was worth it.”\n“AH!!”\nZhao Jingdian exclaimed in astonishment as he abruptly raised his head.\nWang Chong nodded silently. One who learned the ‘Art of Commanding’ couldn’t possibly walk on the same path as the others.\nOther graduates, including those from Shenwei and Longwei, usually started out from the smallest section commander. On the other hand, those who studied the ‘Art of Commanding’ were given the position of a lieutenant as soon as they graduated.\nThis was also one of the reasons why Wang Chong insisted on coming under this instructor.\nIn his previous life, Wang Chong idled most of his time away. It was only after the catastrophe struck and he caught the sight of the elders that he rose in a single go to become the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains. But by then, it was already too late. He had already missed too many opportunities.\nAs such, Wang Chong was determined not to allow the same to occur in this life. As such, he turned his eyes to that instructor. ‘Lieutenant’ was a very good starting point. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several years for even a talented footsoldier to rise to the position of a lieutenant.\nAnd to Wang Chong, he lacked nothing but time. If he could become a lieutenant from the moment of his graduation, he could save a lot of hassle.\n“There’s still a while longer before the examination ends. You should rest here first, I’ll go out and take a walk!”\nWang Chong said before walking down the mountain.\nIn Wang Chong’s view, the current Kunwu Training Camp was a treasure trove in itself. There were too many future great generals lying in here.\nAs long as he played his cards well, with the strengths of these future great generals, he might be able to change Great Tang’s future altogether.\n——The future Grand Marshal of the Central Plains and many rising great generals working hand-in-hand; this was a force that no one could disregard. It could possibly change many things.\nWang Chong soon disappeared amidst the crowd. At the same time, several figures appeared from the crowd.\n“Let’s go. We’ll give it a try as well!”\nIn truth, Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian weren’t the only ones who had been spying on the instructor. Wang Chong had only been observing the situation for an hour, but there were a few who had already been observing for several hours now.\nIt was impossible a student to defeat an instructor. As such, most people didn’t harbor much hope for this. However, from the precedent with Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian, they had learned quite a few things. …\nWang Chong was unaware of the changes at the top on the mountain. At this moment, his attention was completely absorbed into something else.\nToo many things had happened, resulting in the future path to be diverted. The current Kunwu Training Camp was very much different from how he recalled it to be. At the very least, back then, there weren’t so many scions here.\nDue to Wang Chong’s influence, many things had changed.\nHowever, one thing to rejoice over was that the number of recruits Kunwu Training Camp accepted had also increased as well. This meant that his impact on those future great generals who came from humble backgrounds was minimal.\nThe great generals who should appear here should still appear here. This was something Wang Chong was extremely relieved about!\nA huge crowd walked to and fro the massive mountain. Most of them were wandering around worriedly as they attempted to find an instructor whom they could clear the test with. Different from them, Wang Chong’s attention was on the crowd instead. His gaze swept across the innumerable faces passing him by.\nSuddenly, a figure who kept turning around aimlessly caught Wang Chong’s notice. That person had a large bow hanging on his back, and he was loitering around the Imperial Army guards, seemingly at a loss.\n“It’s him?”\nWang Chong suddenly chuckled. Seeing the symbolic large bow, a memory gradually surfaced in Wang Chong’s head. Legend has it that in the first batch of recruits of Kunwu Training Camp, there was a first-timer who, due to coming from a rural location and was visiting the capital for the first time, was unable to differentiate between the Imperial Army guards and instructors.\nAs such, he spent a lot of his time walking to and fro the Imperial Army guards, pleading with them to give him a chance for the test.\nThe Imperial Army guards had told him repeatedly that they weren’t instructors and the instructors were further up the mountain, but that person advanced forward only to look for the other Imperial Army guards stationed higher up the mountain.\nThis matter became a huge laughingstock in the Kunwu Training Camp, and there were many jokes born from that.\nEven so, that person’s strength was no joke at all, and the massive bow he carried behind him proved testimony to that.\nRumor has it that this person was capable of accurately shooting an apple on a tree from several li away, and a base reinforced by the squad of archers that he led would become the sturdiest fortress on the battlefield.\n(One li -> 0.5km)\nSeeing that person wandering about as though a confused fly, Wang Chong chuckled lightly and walked over.\n“Brother, may I know how to address you?”\nOnly after walking closer did Wang Chong catch a closer glimpse at the other party’s appearance. The other party was around sixteen to seventeen-year-old, and he was dressed in beastskin. He was a perfect fit for the stereotype of a mountain hunter.\n“Thi-this… I am Chen Burang! It’s the Northern Governor who recommended me here.”\nThe youth hunter looked slightly restrained.\n“It’s indeed him!”\nWang Chong was taken aback. There was no mistake about it, it must that person. After all, even the name was right. It was just that he didn’t expect the other party to come from a family of hunters.\nIt was no wonder why he didn’t ask any of the other examinees for directions even though so many of them were walking by him. Most probably, he rarely interacted with others on normal occasions, thus making him slightly socially awkward.\n“Are you looking for the instructors?”\nWang Chong asked.\n“Y-yes! However, I can’t seem to find where the instructors are… Is the recruitment exercise over already?”\nSpeaking til the end, Chen Burang nearly burst into tears.\nOn the other hand, Wang Chong nearly burst out laughing. Since this person was able to pass the prior tests, he shouldn’t have been so ignorant. It must really be his first time taking such a long journey away from home.\n“Hehe, don’t worry, the examination is far from over. Why don’t I bring you to the instructors?”\nWang Chong offered.\n“Ah! That would be great!”\nDelighted, the youth gazed at Wang Chong in gratitude. This was the first time someone had walked forward and offered him help ever since he entered Kunwu Training Camp.\nThus, Wang Chong brought him up to the mountain peak.\n“The ones that you spoke to were all Imperial Army guards. The real instructors are all near the peak of the mountain. Even though their disposition feel the same, they are two completely different groups of people. On top of that, their dress up is different as well. The armor that the instructors are dressed in is vastly different from the armor the Imperial Army guards are wearing.”\nChen Burang’s look of realization piqued Wang Chong’s laughter.\nAlong the way, Chen Burang seemed to be interested in everything in the surroundings. It seemed like there really was a good reason for the jokes he created back then.\n“Since you practice archery, I can introduce an instructor to you. That person also specializes in archery.”\nWang Chong said.\n“Un, alright!”\nChen Burang nodded without even thinking over it. Perhaps it was due to his innocence, but he seemed to hold complete trust in Wang Chong.\nAfter some interaction, Wang Chong also felt goodwill toward the other party. Chen Burang had just come from the mountain and there was an aura of simplicity lingering around him.\nThis kind of aura made instinctively bred intimacy.\nChen Burang suddenly realized that up until now, he still didn’t know the other party’s name, and he knocked his head.\n“I am Wang Chong!”\n“AH!”\nChen Burang abruptly came to a halt. He stared at Wang Chong with widened eyes.\nStaring at Wang Chong in shock, Chen Burang stuttered. Even though he had come from a clan of hunters and he spent most of his time in the mountains, he still heard of Wang Chong’s name.\nHe didn’t expect the person who rendered him assistance to be that Wang Chong. “Un!”\nSmiling, Wang Chong nodded his head. It seemed like the benefits derived from the regional commanders incident was truly immense.\nThis made it much easier for Wang Chong to unfold his plans.\n“Kunwu Training Camp isn’t very big. If you’ve any time, feel free to look for me. We can always have a chat or something.”\nWang Chong extended an invitation to Chen Burang.\n“Un, un! No problem, no problem!”\nChen Burang nodded his head in agitation just like a little chick."

第一百九十七章
“走吧！ 我扶你到一边休息。”
王冲把赵敬典扶到一边，吃了丹药，又调息了一会儿，赵敬典的气色明显好了很多。
“公子，你怎么知道我在修练马踏连营？”
看看左右无人，又离那位教官很远，赵敬典终于忍不住道。
“马踏连营”是赵氏一脉的一门绝技，可以在短时间内，速度激增，化出三道分身幻影，很容易破开对方的防御。
而当对方注意力集中在自己身上的时候，全力防御的时候，殊不知“马踏连营”的关键其实在脚，所有的力量都聚集在脚上面。
那教官就一招之差，中了赵敬典的道，被他在胸口上蹬了一下。
不过，这一招虽然奇绝，对破防，对付厉害对手的奇招，在对方没有准备的情况下，很容易发挥出奇效，但是修练难度也是成倍的增加，赵氏一脉也少有成功的。
赵敬典是偷偷一个人修练“马踏连营”的，这一点连他爷爷都不知道。 只不过，赵敬典的马踏连营还没有完全练成，所以他根本没有想过在实战中使用，刚刚在那一口血，倒有大半是内劲反噬造成的。
“嘿，赵氏的马踏连营我爷爷跟我提过，我猜你元气七阶了，应该也开始修练这门绝学了。”
“原来是九公！”
赵敬典怔了怔，随即心中释然。
任何事情只要扯到九公，那就不足为怪了。 他修练马踏连营的事瞒得过别人，但未必瞒得过九公。
看到赵敬典的表情，王冲心中不由笑了起来。
赵敬典的事情他哪里还用得着问爷爷，两个人一辈子征战，他对他身上的武功再熟悉不过了。
赵敬典修没修练“马踏连营”，修练到了什么程度，他一眼就看得出来。
“我之所以坚持让你加入他的名下是有原因，虽然从训练营出去的人，日后都是精英，飞黄腾达不在话下。 但是这一位不同，以后我们出去，立刻就是校尉的级别，可以直接带兵打仗，比别人要少奋斗很多年。
“啊！ ！”
赵敬典吃了一惊，猛的抬起头来。
王冲点了点头，没有多说。
学习“统帅之术”的人和其他人是不一样的，这座训练营里出去的人，包括神威、龙威两座训练营里出去的人，很可能一开始就是伍长、什长的级别。
王冲之所以坚持在他的名下，也是这个原因。
上辈子，他大部分的时间默默无闻，一直到末期，才被那些老前辈看中，才一举提拔到了天下兵马大元帅的位置，但是那个时候，他已经错过太多太多东西了。 所以这辈子，王冲绝不想再这样，所以才会想到加入那位教官的名下。
“校尉”是个很好的起点，其他人要从普通的步兵升到校尉的级别，正常的情况下，至少需要一到两年的时间。
而对于王冲来说，他什么都不缺，最缺的就是时间。 一个校尉的军衔可以节省他太多的时间了。
“考试还要一会儿才能结束，你先在这里休息一会儿，我出去逛逛！”
王冲和赵敬典打了声招呼，很快往山下走去。
这一届的昆吾训练营，在王冲的眼中就是一座无尽的宝藏，这里有未来太多太多的将星了。
好好的运营，借助着他们的力量，说不定自己能够彻底的改变未来的大唐。
——未来的天下兵马大元帅，加上未来的将星，这一股势力谁也无法忽视，足以改变到很多东西了。
王冲很快消失在人群里，而同一时间，几道人影从人群中脱颖而出。
“上吧，我们也去试试！”
人群里是，关注着那名教官，想要加入那名教官名下的有心人远不止王冲一个。 王冲只观察了半个时辰，但有些人却在旁边观察了好几个时辰。
学生是不可能打过教官的，众人原本以为也没什么希望。 但是王冲和赵敬典的战斗，已经向他们说明太多了。
王冲并不知道山上发生的变化，他此刻关注的是其他东西。
未来已经发生变化，这一届的昆吾训练营和他印象中的已经有很大的不一样。 至少，当初绝对没有这么多的世家子弟加入这里。
因为自己的关系，很多东西已经变得不一样了。
不过，唯一值得庆幸的是，相应的，昆吾训练营招收的数量也增加了许多。 这也就意味着，自己对未来的影响由此变得微乎其微。
那些原本应该出现在这里的大唐“将星”，最终依然会出现在这里。
这是最值得欣慰的事情！ 巍然的山峦上，人流汹涌，所有人都在寻找着教官，操心着考验的事情，但王冲的注意力却放在人群中，目光不断的逡巡而过。
突然，人群中一道转来转去的人影，吸引了王冲注意。 这人背上背着一柄大弓，在几名禁军之间转来转去，似乎不知道该怎么办。
“是他？”
看着那柄标志性的大弓，王冲隐约想起一个人来。 传说当年的昆吾训练营里，有一位初来乍到，因为来的地方非常偏，又是第一次进京，完全分不清楚山上站岗的禁军和教官之间有什么区别。
以致于花了大把的时间在那些禁军之间转来转去，一个劲找这些禁军说要参加考试。
那些禁军已经告诉他了，他们不是教官，教官就在山上，结果这位只是从底层的禁军，换到了山上略高一点地方的禁军，依然是在那些禁军之间转来转去。
这件事情在后来在昆吾训练营上传为笑谈，闹了不少的笑话。
不过，虽然看起来糊里糊涂，但是这位的实力却和他闹出的笑话完全是成反比。
他背上那柄大弓，就是最好的说明。 传闻之中，这位可以在数里之外，一箭精准的射中山顶上的树上的苹果。
而他带领的弓兵部队，也是战场上最犀利的阵营。
看着那人还在苍蝇乱转的样子，王冲微微一笑，很快走了下去。
“兄台，不知道怎么称呼？”
王冲走过去道。 走近了才发现，那人大约十六七岁左右，身上穿着一副兽皮衣服，完全是一副山中猎人的打扮。 “这个，这个……，在下，在下陈不让！
是淮南都丞推荐我过来的。”
那猎户少年一脸的局促。
“居然真的是他！”
王冲眼中有些诧异。 没有错了，应该是他无疑，连名字都对上了。 只是，王冲没想到，这位居然是猎户出身。
怪不得旁边这么多人经过，他也不去问问。 应该是平时很少和人打交道。
“你是找参加考试的教官吗？”
王冲问道。
“是，是的，就是找不到教官在哪里，……是不是已经结束了？”
说到最后，陈不让都快哭了。
听到这话，王冲差点都笑出声来。 这一位能通过前面的考试，按道理应该知道一点才对。 看来，真的是第一次出远门，这方面毫无经验。
这样吧，你不是要参加考试，来，我带你去吧？”
王冲道。
“啊！ 太好了！”
少年大喜，看着王冲一脸的感激。 进入昆吾训练营以来，这还是第一次主动搭理他的人。
王冲也不多说，带着他往山顶上走去。
虽然气质上有些相似，但都是不一样的。 而且，他们穿的衣服也是不一样的。 禁军都是甲胄，虽然教官也有穿甲胄的，但是你看到他们就知道是不一样的。”
“啊！”
陈不让一脸恍然的样子，让人忍俊不禁。 走在后面，陈不让似乎对一切都很好奇。
“你练的是弓术吧。 如果想学弓的话，我可以推荐一位教官。
王冲道。
“嗯，好！”
陈不让连想都没想就答应，对王冲完全是言听计从，一副极其信服的样子。
王冲和他接触了一会儿，对他也是很有好感。
这种气息天然的就会让人感到亲近。
“对了，还不知道怎么称呼你？” 陈不让终于想起来了什么，一拍脑袋道。
“我叫王冲！”
“难道，难道……，你，你是？”
陈不让看着王冲，结结巴巴，话都说不全了。
他虽然是山中猎户，但是也听人提起过来王冲这个名字。
他万万没想到，这个指点自己，帮助自己的人，居然就是王冲。
王冲笑了起来，点了点头，节度使事件给自己带来的好处远比自己想像的还要大得多，这是王冲之前根本想像不到的。
这也让王冲能够更容易的展开自己的计划。
“昆吾训练营只有这么大，如果有时间就来找我吧。 说不定，大家可以交流交流。”
王冲向陈不让发出了邀约。
“嗯，嗯，没问题，没问题。”
陈不定头点的像小鸡啄米，激动无比。

Chapter 197: Chen Burang
“Let’s go! I’ll help you to the side.”
Wang Chong supported Zhao Jingdian over to the side. After he consumed the pill and rested for a moment, Zhao Jingdian’s complexion gradually recovered.
“Gongzi, how do you know that I’m cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks?”
After looking around and ensuring that there was no one within earshot, Zhao Jingdian finally asked Wang Chong the question that had been bugging in his mind.
Horse Trampling the Barracks was an ultimate technique of the Zhao Clan. It enhanced one’s agility explosively for a short period of time, allowing one to create three after images to confuse and break through an opponent’s defense.
Usually, when on defense, one’s attention would be focused on the enemy’s upper body. However, the crux of the ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ actually lay in the feet.
All it took was a momentary lapse in judgement for the instructor to fall for Zhao Jingdian’s ploy and be kicked on his chest.
However, even though this was a mystical move that was exceptionally useful in breaking through an enemy’s defense when the other party was unprepared, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Hence, there were very few Zhao Clan members who had managed to successfully cultivate it.
In truth, Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ on secret. Even his grandfather was unaware of it. As he hadn’t completed his cultivation of the technique yet, he didn’t even consider using it in a practical battle. In truth, the mouthful of blood he spewed previously was mostly due to a backlash from his inner energy.
“Heh, my grandfather had once told me about the Zhao Clan’s Horse Trampling the Barracks and gauging from your Origin Energy Tier 7 cultivation, I guessed that you might have started cultivating this secret art.”
Wang Chong said.
“So it’s Duke Jiu!”
Zhao Jingdian was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. Any bizarre occurrence could be explained if Duke Jiu was involved. He might have been able to hide the fact that he was cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks from others but he didn’t think that he would be able to conceal it from Duke Jiu’s sharp eyes.
Seeing Zhao Jingdian’s expression, Wang Chong couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
Was there even a need for him to ask grandfather on Zhao Jingdian’s affairs? In his previous life, the two of them had fought alongside and conquered many battlefields together. He couldn’t be any more familiar with the other party’s martial arts.
Whether Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ or not and how far he had progressed in it, Wang Chong could tell in a single glance.
“There’s a reason why I insisted for you to come under him. Even though those who graduate from the training camp in the future would eventually reach great heights in the future, that instructor is different. While others have to spend several years toiling at the bottom layer, we’ll be able to take on the role of a lieutenant straight and lead an army to a battlefield. By then, you’ll know that this mouthful of blood was worth it.”
“AH!!”
Zhao Jingdian exclaimed in astonishment as he abruptly raised his head.
Wang Chong nodded silently. One who learned the ‘Art of Commanding’ couldn’t possibly walk on the same path as the others.
Other graduates, including those from Shenwei and Longwei, usually started out from the smallest section commander. On the other hand, those who studied the ‘Art of Commanding’ were given the position of a lieutenant as soon as they graduated.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Chong insisted on coming under this instructor.
In his previous life, Wang Chong idled most of his time away. It was only after the catastrophe struck and he caught the sight of the elders that he rose in a single go to become the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains. But by then, it was already too late. He had already missed too many opportunities.
As such, Wang Chong was determined not to allow the same to occur in this life. As such, he turned his eyes to that instructor. ‘Lieutenant’ was a very good starting point. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several years for even a talented footsoldier to rise to the position of a lieutenant.
And to Wang Chong, he lacked nothing but time. If he could become a lieutenant from the moment of his graduation, he could save a lot of hassle.
“There’s still a while longer before the examination ends. You should rest here first, I’ll go out and take a walk!”
Wang Chong said before walking down the mountain.
In Wang Chong’s view, the current Kunwu Training Camp was a treasure trove in itself. There were too many future great generals lying in here.
As long as he played his cards well, with the strengths of these future great generals, he might be able to change Great Tang’s future altogether.
——The future Grand Marshal of the Central Plains and many rising great generals working hand-in-hand; this was a force that no one could disregard. It could possibly change many things.
Wang Chong soon disappeared amidst the crowd. At the same time, several figures appeared from the crowd.
“Let’s go. We’ll give it a try as well!”
In truth, Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian weren’t the only ones who had been spying on the instructor. Wang Chong had only been observing the situation for an hour, but there were a few who had already been observing for several hours now.
It was impossible a student to defeat an instructor. As such, most people didn’t harbor much hope for this. However, from the precedent with Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian, they had learned quite a few things. …
Wang Chong was unaware of the changes at the top on the mountain. At this moment, his attention was completely absorbed into something else.
Too many things had happened, resulting in the future path to be diverted. The current Kunwu Training Camp was very much different from how he recalled it to be. At the very least, back then, there weren’t so many scions here.
Due to Wang Chong’s influence, many things had changed.
However, one thing to rejoice over was that the number of recruits Kunwu Training Camp accepted had also increased as well. This meant that his impact on those future great generals who came from humble backgrounds was minimal.
The great generals who should appear here should still appear here. This was something Wang Chong was extremely relieved about!
A huge crowd walked to and fro the massive mountain. Most of them were wandering around worriedly as they attempted to find an instructor whom they could clear the test with. Different from them, Wang Chong’s attention was on the crowd instead. His gaze swept across the innumerable faces passing him by.
Suddenly, a figure who kept turning around aimlessly caught Wang Chong’s notice. That person had a large bow hanging on his back, and he was loitering around the Imperial Army guards, seemingly at a loss.
“It’s him?”
Wang Chong suddenly chuckled. Seeing the symbolic large bow, a memory gradually surfaced in Wang Chong’s head. Legend has it that in the first batch of recruits of Kunwu Training Camp, there was a first-timer who, due to coming from a rural location and was visiting the capital for the first time, was unable to differentiate between the Imperial Army guards and instructors.
As such, he spent a lot of his time walking to and fro the Imperial Army guards, pleading with them to give him a chance for the test.
The Imperial Army guards had told him repeatedly that they weren’t instructors and the instructors were further up the mountain, but that person advanced forward only to look for the other Imperial Army guards stationed higher up the mountain.
This matter became a huge laughingstock in the Kunwu Training Camp, and there were many jokes born from that.
Even so, that person’s strength was no joke at all, and the massive bow he carried behind him proved testimony to that.
Rumor has it that this person was capable of accurately shooting an apple on a tree from several li away, and a base reinforced by the squad of archers that he led would become the sturdiest fortress on the battlefield.
(One li -> 0.5km)
Seeing that person wandering about as though a confused fly, Wang Chong chuckled lightly and walked over.
“Brother, may I know how to address you?”
Only after walking closer did Wang Chong catch a closer glimpse at the other party’s appearance. The other party was around sixteen to seventeen-year-old, and he was dressed in beastskin. He was a perfect fit for the stereotype of a mountain hunter.
“Thi-this… I am Chen Burang! It’s the Northern Governor who recommended me here.”
The youth hunter looked slightly restrained.
“It’s indeed him!”
Wang Chong was taken aback. There was no mistake about it, it must that person. After all, even the name was right. It was just that he didn’t expect the other party to come from a family of hunters.
It was no wonder why he didn’t ask any of the other examinees for directions even though so many of them were walking by him. Most probably, he rarely interacted with others on normal occasions, thus making him slightly socially awkward.
“Are you looking for the instructors?”
Wang Chong asked.
“Y-yes! However, I can’t seem to find where the instructors are… Is the recruitment exercise over already?”
Speaking til the end, Chen Burang nearly burst into tears.
On the other hand, Wang Chong nearly burst out laughing. Since this person was able to pass the prior tests, he shouldn’t have been so ignorant. It must really be his first time taking such a long journey away from home.
“Hehe, don’t worry, the examination is far from over. Why don’t I bring you to the instructors?”
Wang Chong offered.
“Ah! That would be great!”
Delighted, the youth gazed at Wang Chong in gratitude. This was the first time someone had walked forward and offered him help ever since he entered Kunwu Training Camp.
Thus, Wang Chong brought him up to the mountain peak.
“The ones that you spoke to were all Imperial Army guards. The real instructors are all near the peak of the mountain. Even though their disposition feel the same, they are two completely different groups of people. On top of that, their dress up is different as well. The armor that the instructors are dressed in is vastly different from the armor the Imperial Army guards are wearing.”
Chen Burang’s look of realization piqued Wang Chong’s laughter.
Along the way, Chen Burang seemed to be interested in everything in the surroundings. It seemed like there really was a good reason for the jokes he created back then.
“Since you practice archery, I can introduce an instructor to you. That person also specializes in archery.”
Wang Chong said.
“Un, alright!”
Chen Burang nodded without even thinking over it. Perhaps it was due to his innocence, but he seemed to hold complete trust in Wang Chong.
After some interaction, Wang Chong also felt goodwill toward the other party. Chen Burang had just come from the mountain and there was an aura of simplicity lingering around him.
This kind of aura made instinctively bred intimacy.
Chen Burang suddenly realized that up until now, he still didn’t know the other party’s name, and he knocked his head.
“I am Wang Chong!”
“AH!”
Chen Burang abruptly came to a halt. He stared at Wang Chong with widened eyes.
Staring at Wang Chong in shock, Chen Burang stuttered. Even though he had come from a clan of hunters and he spent most of his time in the mountains, he still heard of Wang Chong’s name.
He didn’t expect the person who rendered him assistance to be that Wang Chong. “Un!”
Smiling, Wang Chong nodded his head. It seemed like the benefits derived from the regional commanders incident was truly immense.
This made it much easier for Wang Chong to unfold his plans.
“Kunwu Training Camp isn’t very big. If you’ve any time, feel free to look for me. We can always have a chat or something.”
Wang Chong extended an invitation to Chen Burang.
“Un, un! No problem, no problem!”
Chen Burang nodded his head in agitation just like a little chick.

"value": "Chapter 861 - Death Ruin\nChapter 861 - Death Ruin Mu Chen spent two days to help the three Kings’ troops to form their Pseudo-Battle Will Spirit, and the price of doing so was him being in a weakened state for a full day.\nRefining the Battle Will Spirit did not exhaust Spiritual Energy, but one’s will. The requirement to control myriads of will was high and this was also the reason why there were so many powerful experts but not every one of them could command Battle Will.\nConnecting to the Battle Will of the four troops and leaving an imprint in the minds of every single warrior was definitely not easy. So when Mu Chen completed this, he was in a weakened state for a full day, before he gradually recovered. …\nAfter Mu Chen had recovered the next day, the first thing the four Kings gave was their gratitude as they showed unprecedented courteousness. That’s because when Mu Chen was in his weakened state yesterday, they had all tested the might of the Pseudo-Battle Will Spirits. Although they couldn’t be compared to genuine Battle Will Spirits, they still allowed the strength of their troops to rise.\nThus, after they had personally tasted the sweetness, they naturally knew the importance of Mu Chen. They naturally had to get close to such a person. Otherwise, their troops would be reverted back the moment the imprints were used up.\nWhen Nine Nether saw their attitudes beside Mu Chen, she couldn’t help feeling amused and lamentable. Back then, when she became a King in the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest had not targeted her like the Blood Hawk King, but they all felt disdain in their hearts. After all, regardless of her age or strength, she was still insufficient to be granted a King title.\nNow that Nine Nether wasn’t comparable to the past and her strength comparable to the other Kings, she was clear that it could, at most, let the Mountain Splitting King and the rest not to have contempt for her. But it was still impossible for the latter to be courteous to her.\nBut right now, even someone as prideful as the Mountain Splitting King was being courteous to their Nine Nether Troop and did not dare to offend them. All these changes originated from Mu Chen.\nPerhaps that youth did not possess astonishing strength, but he had relied on his own means and made experts like the Mountain Splitting King to take the initiative to make friends with him.\n“You guys don’t have to be so courteous. We’re all from the Great Havenlaw Domain, so we naturally have to help each other in this Hunting War.” In response to the four Kings being courteous, Mu Chen had also politely replied.\nWhen the four Kings saw how polite Mu Chen was and not acting arrogant because he had grasped such an important thing like the imprint, they felt more at ease in their hearts and their expression turned even more gentle.\n“Haha. King Mu, we have been slowing down our speed for the past few days, so shall we go all-out now?” The Mountain Splitting King laughed as his words clearly implied that it was Mu Chen’s decision to make.\nHearing that, Mu Chen briefly pondered, before saying, “How’s the current situation in the Fallen Battlefield?”\nSince he had focused all of his energy to refine Battle Will Spirits for the past few days, he did not pay much attention to the situation in the Fallen Battlefield.\n“It’s getting increasingly intense.” The Mountain Splitting King’s face turned solemn as he continued, “We are all making our way towards the depths of the Fallen Battlefield. So, generally speaking, the further we go, we will encounter the more powerful forces. If a battle breaks out, it will definitely be a huge one. According to our information, over a hundred forces have been destroyed in the past few days… Not lacking top forces in the list as well.”\nMu Chen squinted his eyes. The top forces could already be considered as a considerable force in the Northern Region, but they were still annihilated. So he couldn’t imagine how brutal the battle was right now.\n“Any news regarding the Great Havenlaw Domain?” Mu Chen asked.\n“The Fallen Battlefield is too vast, so there’s a limit to the information that we can gather. So we are unsure of the others’ situations.” The Spiritual Sword King replied as he shook his head.\nMu Chen nodded. “I’m afraid that the Fallen Origin Pellets are still insufficient.”\nAlthough they had borrowed the power of the Spiritual Compass and obtained over ten thousand Fallen Origin Pellets, it was said that any single Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury would require tens of thousands or even more Fallen Origin Pellets just for a single layer of the seal. Therefore, the amount of Fallen Origin Pellets was still far from sufficient in their hands.\n“Right now, the Fallen Origin Pellets that can be refined from Grade-3 Ruins is too little. So we need higher graded ruins.” Nine Nether spoke with her brows furrowed. Generally speaking, a Grade-3 Ruin could refine a few hundred Fallen Origin Pellets. If it was the start of the Hunting War, it was definitely a considerable amount. But right now, this amount was a little insufficient. In addition, they had a few troops combined together, so they wouldn’t get much after splitting it up.\nAlthough, with the Spiritual Compass, it could be filled up with the amount of Grade-3 Ruins that they could discover, the worth of Grade-3 Ruins was still too low and the treasures left in them couldn’t tempt the heart of the few Kings. “Higher graded ruins…”\nMu Chen fell into thoughts. Above the Grade-3 Ruins would be Grade-2 Ruins. The Grade-2 Ruins were truly extraordinary, since they had fortunately encountered one in the past. Despite paying some price for it, even with them joining hands together, the harvest was delightful. Just a single ruin could be comparable to ten Grade-3 Ruins. Not to mention any treasures, just the Fallen Origin Pellets that could be refined along had reached thousands.\nBut despite the ample harvest that’s contained in a Grade-2 Ruin, it was too hard to find. Some time ago, they had only managed to find one with the help of the Spiritual Compass.\nIn the current Fallen Battlefield, as long as there was news of any Grade-2 Ruins, it would probably cause countless forces to surge over.\n“If it is about higher graded ruins… I wonder if you guys have heard of the news that’s been spreading around over these past two days?” The Great Cliff King, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke out.\n“Oh?” The Mountain Splitting King and the rest were stunned, their brows knitted together. “Are you perhaps talking about the Death Ruin that has been making waves for the past two days?”\n“Death Ruin?” Mu Chen asked in doubt, since he had no idea about it.\n“Recently, in the northwestern region of the Fallen Battlefield, a ruin had been discovered. It’s said that till now, no one has managed to make it out alive, so it was named the Death Ruin.” Nine Nether explained.\n“Now, the news of the Death Ruin has been spreading out, which aroused the interest of many powerful forces. That’s because, according to their speculations, the Death Ruin might be a Grade-1 Ruin.”\n“Grade-1 Ruin?!” Mu Chen’s pupils suddenly, uncontrollably narrowed. They were ruins a level beneath Earth Sovereign Realm Treasuries. In the past, he had tried to rely on the Spiritual Compass, but not a single Grade-1 Ruin had been found. So one could see how hidden those ruins were.\nThe Mountain Splitting King paused voice, before looking at Mu Chen. “It’s said that this Death Ruin seems to have traces left behind by Battle Formation Masters…”\nBattle Formation Masters?!\nMu Chen’s countenance drastically changed as a fire burned in his eyes. Battle Formation Master? That was a legendary existence that was exceedingly rare in the Great Thousand World. He didn’t know if it could allow him to become a genuine Battle Formation Master. Even if he could control Battle Will, he had only stepped on the surface level and still had to rely on himself to probe around.\nNine Nether seemed to have expected Mu Chen’s response and said, “It’s said that someone found bones of a massive army. Therefore, they speculated that the Death Ruin must’ve been left behind by a Battle Formation Master.”\nMu Chen gradually calmed his heart, before nodding his head a long while later. The Death Ruin might be extremely tempting, but the dangers that were held within it were unimaginable. Therefore, even a decisive person like him couldn’t help hesitating.\nIf it was just their Nine Nether Palace alone, Mu Chen would naturally give it a try. After all, the temptation of a Battle Formation Master was pretty significant to him. However, the other Kings were present here as well. Therefore, Mu Chen was not sure if they were willing to make such a huge risk for a mere rumour.\nAlthough they had not seen the Death Ruin personally, it’s definitely not a benevolent place for it to possess such an ominous name.\n“If you’re interested in the Death Ruin, then make your decision fast. According to rumours, the Battle Will geniuses of the Sky Profound Palace and Divine Pavilion are rushing towards the Death Ruin. If I have not guessed incorrectly, they should be heading there because of the news about the Battle Formation Master.” Nine Nether lightly smiled as her voice provoked the temptation in Mu Chen’s heart.\n“Haha. If King Mu is interested, we will naturally follow you. With the Battle Will Spirits of our four troops, we should have the strength to protect ourselves, no matter how dangerous the Death Ruin is.” Seemingly to know about the hesitation in Mu Chen’s heart, the four Kings exchanged a look as they smiled.\n“Furthermore, we have not seen how formidable a Grade-1 Ruin is, so we naturally have to go take a look.”\nHearing their words, Mu Chen finally felt heavily relieved. If it was their Nine Nether Palace alone, it would be extremely dangerous. But with the support of the four Kings, their safety could be greatly increased. This was probably because he helped them refine the Battle Will Spirits for their troops, giving them a favour. Otherwise, the four Kings would probably be unwilling to be involved with the unknown. But, regardless, since the four Kings had all agreed to it, then they could place the Death Ruin as their objective.\nMu Chen slowly balled his hands as a flame surged in the depths of his black pupils.\nBattle Formation Master… He’s looking forward to it now and hoped that the Death Ruin wouldn’t disappoint him."

第八百六十章
牧尘花了两日的时间，方才彻底的为裂山王等人的三支军队也是凝炼出那所谓的“伪战意之灵”，而他为此付出的代价，则是彻彻底底的虚弱了整整一日。
凝炼战意之灵，那并非是灵力上的消耗，而是意志上的疲累，想要掌控那数万人的意志，那对于意志的坚韧有着极高的要求，这也是很多强者为什么明明实力强横，但偏偏无法掌控战意的主要原因之一。
而接连为四支军队凝炼战意，最后还要将印记封印在所有战士的脑海中，那种工作量可绝对不轻松，所以当牧尘做完之后，直接虚弱了一日，方才逐渐的恢复过来。
翌日，待得牧尘恢复过来后，裂山王四王便是第一时间过来感谢，那客气的姿态前所未见，因为在昨天牧尘虚弱的时候，他们已经测试过那“伪战意之灵”的威力，虽说的确不如真的战意之灵，但依旧是让得他们军队的战斗力大大的提升。
所以在亲自尝试到甜头后，他们更加清楚的明白牧尘的重要性，这等金主，可是必须要拉拢的，不然日后待得那战意印记消耗殆尽，他们的军队又得被打回原形。
那在牧尘身旁的九幽见到裂山王他们这等姿态，倒是忍不住的有些好笑与感叹，想当初她在大罗天域封王时，虽说裂山王等人并未如同血鹰王一般的针对她，但其实心中必然还是有些轻慢于她。 毕竟不论如何，论起年龄，实力以及资历。
如今的九幽，今非昔比，实力也并不逊色于诸王，不过她还是很清楚，这顶多只能够让得高傲的裂山王诸王不再对她小觑，想要后者等人对她保持着尊敬客气。 那依旧是不太可能的事情。
然而现在，即便是高傲如裂山王，也是对他们九幽宫客客气气。 不敢得罪，而这一切，都是由牧尘所带来的改变。
这个少年现在或许没有惊天般的实力，可他确实凭借着自身的手段。 让得裂山王这等强者。
都是得屈身结交。 “四位不用客气，大家同为大罗天域的人，此次大狩猎战，自然是需要互相扶持。” 而对于裂山王四王的客气，牧尘也是和气的回应。
裂山王四人见到牧尘如此和气，丝毫没有因为掌握着战意印记这般重要之物就有所骄狂，心中也是极感舒服，于是那神色变得愈发的和善。
接下来需要全力施为吗？” 裂山王笑着问道，言语间显然是全看牧尘的决定。
牧尘闻言则是微微沉吟，道：“最近陨落战场局势如何？”
这些天他所有的精力都是用来凝炼战意之灵，所以对于这陨落战场的诸多情况，也是完全没有关注。
“越来越激烈了。” 裂山王面色凝重的道：“我们如今都在对着陨落战场深处而去，而一般说来，能够越走越远的，都会是一些实力底蕴颇强的势力，所以若是开战的话，必然会是大战，据我们所知，这两天内，被灭掉的势力，已是达上百座…其中不乏一流势力的存在。”
牧尘眼神也是微微一凝，一流的势力，在这北界已经算得上是底蕴不弱，然而依旧是被灭掉，难以想象那种战争是何等的残酷。
“我们大罗天域其他的人马有什么消息吗？” 牧尘询问道。
“陨落战场太过的辽阔，情报收集也是受到了限制，所以倒是不清楚其他人马如今的情况。” 灵剑王摇摇头，说道。
牧尘点点头，道：“我们手中的陨落源丹恐怕还不够。”
虽说借助着“寻灵盘”的力量，他们手中的陨落源丹一共已经一万多颗，但据说那地至尊秘藏，随随便便一层封印，便是需要数万乃至更多的陨落源丹，所以他们手中的陨落源丹，还远远不够。
“现在的话，三级遗迹能够提炼的陨落源丹对于我们而言已经太少了，所以我们需要找更高级的遗迹。” 九幽柳眉微蹙的说道，一般说来，一座三级遗迹应该能够提炼出数百颗的陨落源丹，如果是刚开始的时候，这的确是一笔不小的数量，可放在现在却是显得有些不够份量了，再加上他们乃是数支军队合拢在一起，那数百陨落源丹再这样分配下来，到手的更是极少。
虽说他们借助着“寻灵盘”可以以三级遗迹的数量来弥补，可三级遗迹的价值，终归还是太低了，遗迹之中残留的一些传承遗迹宝物，都是难以让诸王动心。
牧尘面露沉吟之色，三级遗迹之上，便是二级遗迹了，这二级遗迹的确不凡，他们上一次侥幸遇见了一座，即便他们联手都是付出了一些代价，不过那种收获的确令人欣喜，仅仅只是一座遗迹，便是足足当得上十座三级遗迹，不提那些传承之物，光是提炼出来的陨落源丹，都高达数千。
只不过这二级遗迹虽说所藏丰富，但却极难找寻，之前的时候，即便牧尘他们借助着“寻灵盘”之力，也仅仅只是找寻到一座罢了。
在如今这片陨落战场上，只要是传出二级遗迹的风声，恐怕立即就会有着无数势力蜂拥而来。
“更高级遗迹的话…不知道你们有没听见这两天传出来的一些风声。” 一直沉默的洪崖王突然开口。
“哦？” 裂山王他们一怔，旋即眉头紧皱起来：“难道你是说那座这两天传得极盛的死亡遗迹？”
牧尘也是愣了愣，显然不明白那是个什么东西。
“最近在陨落战场西北方向，据说是发现了一座遗迹，据说至今为止，所有进入其中的人马，都未曾出来过，所以有人将其称为死亡遗迹。” 九幽解释道。
“现在这座死亡遗迹传了开来，有着不少一流甚至顶尖的势力都是对其表现出了不小的兴趣，因为按照他们的推测，那座所谓的死亡遗迹，很有可能会是一座一级遗迹。”
！” 牧尘瞳孔顿时忍不住的一缩，那可是仅次于地至尊秘藏的遗迹，这段时间来，即便他借助着寻灵盘的力量，都未曾找寻到过一座一级遗迹，由此可见这等遗迹隐藏得有多深。
战阵师？
！
牧尘霍然变色，目光灼灼的看向裂山王，战阵师？ 那种传说中一般的存在，在如今的大千世界中，可并不多见，所以这也导致现在的他，甚至连如何才能成为一位正式的战阵师都不清楚，即便自己能够掌控战意，但却依旧只能处于最初级的层次，依靠自己的摸索来修炼。
九幽似是料到牧尘会有这般反应，道：“据说有人在那其中发现了大量军队骸骨，所以以此推测，那座死亡遗迹，很有可能会是战阵师所留。”
牧尘缓缓的平复下激荡的心情，半晌后方才轻轻点头，那座死亡遗迹虽说的确极为的诱人，可其中的危险必然也是难以想象，所以一时间，就连素来果断的他都是忍不住的有点犹豫起来。
如果眼下仅仅只是他们九幽宫一支人马，牧尘自然是想要去试探一下，毕竟战阵师对于他的吸引力着实不小，但现在还有着裂山王他们也在此处，所以牧尘也并不肯定他们是否愿意为了一些不切实际的传言，就去冒那么大的风险。
虽然他们并没有见过那座死亡遗迹，不过能够拥有这等凶名，显然不会是什么善地。
“若是你对那死亡遗迹有兴趣的话，可得尽快下注意，据说那玄天殿以及神阁的两位战意天才，如今都是对着那座死亡遗迹赶了过去，如果料的不错的话，他们应该也是冲着那战阵师的信息去的。” 九幽微微一笑，声音更是撩拨得牧尘心动不已。
“呵呵，如果牧王有兴趣的话，我们自当奉陪一次，眼下我们四支军队都拥有着战意之灵，我想不管那死亡遗迹有多凶险，我们自保的能力应该还是有的。” 而似是知晓牧尘心中的犹豫一般，裂山王四人对视一眼，皆是在此时笑道。
“而且一级遗迹我们还没试过有多厉害呢，眼下倒是可以去见识一番。”
牧尘闻言，终于是如释重负的松了一口气，如果只是他们九幽宫前去探险的话，难免独木难支，过于危险，而有了裂山王他们的支持，这安全系数方才能够提高起来，这恐怕得多亏了他之前他出手帮裂山王他们麾下军队凝炼战意之灵，给了一份人情，不然的话，恐怕裂山王他们也不见得就会去愿意去淌这知之不明的浑水。
牧尘手掌在此时缓缓的紧握，黑色眸子深处有着炽热涌出来。
战阵师，他可很是期待啊，希望这死亡遗迹，不会让他失望。

Chapter 861 - Death Ruin
Chapter 861 - Death Ruin Mu Chen spent two days to help the three Kings’ troops to form their Pseudo-Battle Will Spirit, and the price of doing so was him being in a weakened state for a full day.
Refining the Battle Will Spirit did not exhaust Spiritual Energy, but one’s will. The requirement to control myriads of will was high and this was also the reason why there were so many powerful experts but not every one of them could command Battle Will.
Connecting to the Battle Will of the four troops and leaving an imprint in the minds of every single warrior was definitely not easy. So when Mu Chen completed this, he was in a weakened state for a full day, before he gradually recovered. …
After Mu Chen had recovered the next day, the first thing the four Kings gave was their gratitude as they showed unprecedented courteousness. That’s because when Mu Chen was in his weakened state yesterday, they had all tested the might of the Pseudo-Battle Will Spirits. Although they couldn’t be compared to genuine Battle Will Spirits, they still allowed the strength of their troops to rise.
Thus, after they had personally tasted the sweetness, they naturally knew the importance of Mu Chen. They naturally had to get close to such a person. Otherwise, their troops would be reverted back the moment the imprints were used up.
When Nine Nether saw their attitudes beside Mu Chen, she couldn’t help feeling amused and lamentable. Back then, when she became a King in the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest had not targeted her like the Blood Hawk King, but they all felt disdain in their hearts. After all, regardless of her age or strength, she was still insufficient to be granted a King title.
Now that Nine Nether wasn’t comparable to the past and her strength comparable to the other Kings, she was clear that it could, at most, let the Mountain Splitting King and the rest not to have contempt for her. But it was still impossible for the latter to be courteous to her.
But right now, even someone as prideful as the Mountain Splitting King was being courteous to their Nine Nether Troop and did not dare to offend them. All these changes originated from Mu Chen.
Perhaps that youth did not possess astonishing strength, but he had relied on his own means and made experts like the Mountain Splitting King to take the initiative to make friends with him.
“You guys don’t have to be so courteous. We’re all from the Great Havenlaw Domain, so we naturally have to help each other in this Hunting War.” In response to the four Kings being courteous, Mu Chen had also politely replied.
When the four Kings saw how polite Mu Chen was and not acting arrogant because he had grasped such an important thing like the imprint, they felt more at ease in their hearts and their expression turned even more gentle.
“Haha. King Mu, we have been slowing down our speed for the past few days, so shall we go all-out now?” The Mountain Splitting King laughed as his words clearly implied that it was Mu Chen’s decision to make.
Hearing that, Mu Chen briefly pondered, before saying, “How’s the current situation in the Fallen Battlefield?”
Since he had focused all of his energy to refine Battle Will Spirits for the past few days, he did not pay much attention to the situation in the Fallen Battlefield.
“It’s getting increasingly intense.” The Mountain Splitting King’s face turned solemn as he continued, “We are all making our way towards the depths of the Fallen Battlefield. So, generally speaking, the further we go, we will encounter the more powerful forces. If a battle breaks out, it will definitely be a huge one. According to our information, over a hundred forces have been destroyed in the past few days… Not lacking top forces in the list as well.”
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. The top forces could already be considered as a considerable force in the Northern Region, but they were still annihilated. So he couldn’t imagine how brutal the battle was right now.
“Any news regarding the Great Havenlaw Domain?” Mu Chen asked.
“The Fallen Battlefield is too vast, so there’s a limit to the information that we can gather. So we are unsure of the others’ situations.” The Spiritual Sword King replied as he shook his head.
Mu Chen nodded. “I’m afraid that the Fallen Origin Pellets are still insufficient.”
Although they had borrowed the power of the Spiritual Compass and obtained over ten thousand Fallen Origin Pellets, it was said that any single Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury would require tens of thousands or even more Fallen Origin Pellets just for a single layer of the seal. Therefore, the amount of Fallen Origin Pellets was still far from sufficient in their hands.
“Right now, the Fallen Origin Pellets that can be refined from Grade-3 Ruins is too little. So we need higher graded ruins.” Nine Nether spoke with her brows furrowed. Generally speaking, a Grade-3 Ruin could refine a few hundred Fallen Origin Pellets. If it was the start of the Hunting War, it was definitely a considerable amount. But right now, this amount was a little insufficient. In addition, they had a few troops combined together, so they wouldn’t get much after splitting it up.
Although, with the Spiritual Compass, it could be filled up with the amount of Grade-3 Ruins that they could discover, the worth of Grade-3 Ruins was still too low and the treasures left in them couldn’t tempt the heart of the few Kings. “Higher graded ruins…”
Mu Chen fell into thoughts. Above the Grade-3 Ruins would be Grade-2 Ruins. The Grade-2 Ruins were truly extraordinary, since they had fortunately encountered one in the past. Despite paying some price for it, even with them joining hands together, the harvest was delightful. Just a single ruin could be comparable to ten Grade-3 Ruins. Not to mention any treasures, just the Fallen Origin Pellets that could be refined along had reached thousands.
But despite the ample harvest that’s contained in a Grade-2 Ruin, it was too hard to find. Some time ago, they had only managed to find one with the help of the Spiritual Compass.
In the current Fallen Battlefield, as long as there was news of any Grade-2 Ruins, it would probably cause countless forces to surge over.
“If it is about higher graded ruins… I wonder if you guys have heard of the news that’s been spreading around over these past two days?” The Great Cliff King, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke out.
“Oh?” The Mountain Splitting King and the rest were stunned, their brows knitted together. “Are you perhaps talking about the Death Ruin that has been making waves for the past two days?”
“Death Ruin?” Mu Chen asked in doubt, since he had no idea about it.
“Recently, in the northwestern region of the Fallen Battlefield, a ruin had been discovered. It’s said that till now, no one has managed to make it out alive, so it was named the Death Ruin.” Nine Nether explained.
“Now, the news of the Death Ruin has been spreading out, which aroused the interest of many powerful forces. That’s because, according to their speculations, the Death Ruin might be a Grade-1 Ruin.”
“Grade-1 Ruin?!” Mu Chen’s pupils suddenly, uncontrollably narrowed. They were ruins a level beneath Earth Sovereign Realm Treasuries. In the past, he had tried to rely on the Spiritual Compass, but not a single Grade-1 Ruin had been found. So one could see how hidden those ruins were.
The Mountain Splitting King paused voice, before looking at Mu Chen. “It’s said that this Death Ruin seems to have traces left behind by Battle Formation Masters…”
Battle Formation Masters?!
Mu Chen’s countenance drastically changed as a fire burned in his eyes. Battle Formation Master? That was a legendary existence that was exceedingly rare in the Great Thousand World. He didn’t know if it could allow him to become a genuine Battle Formation Master. Even if he could control Battle Will, he had only stepped on the surface level and still had to rely on himself to probe around.
Nine Nether seemed to have expected Mu Chen’s response and said, “It’s said that someone found bones of a massive army. Therefore, they speculated that the Death Ruin must’ve been left behind by a Battle Formation Master.”
Mu Chen gradually calmed his heart, before nodding his head a long while later. The Death Ruin might be extremely tempting, but the dangers that were held within it were unimaginable. Therefore, even a decisive person like him couldn’t help hesitating.
If it was just their Nine Nether Palace alone, Mu Chen would naturally give it a try. After all, the temptation of a Battle Formation Master was pretty significant to him. However, the other Kings were present here as well. Therefore, Mu Chen was not sure if they were willing to make such a huge risk for a mere rumour.
Although they had not seen the Death Ruin personally, it’s definitely not a benevolent place for it to possess such an ominous name.
“If you’re interested in the Death Ruin, then make your decision fast. According to rumours, the Battle Will geniuses of the Sky Profound Palace and Divine Pavilion are rushing towards the Death Ruin. If I have not guessed incorrectly, they should be heading there because of the news about the Battle Formation Master.” Nine Nether lightly smiled as her voice provoked the temptation in Mu Chen’s heart.
“Haha. If King Mu is interested, we will naturally follow you. With the Battle Will Spirits of our four troops, we should have the strength to protect ourselves, no matter how dangerous the Death Ruin is.” Seemingly to know about the hesitation in Mu Chen’s heart, the four Kings exchanged a look as they smiled.
“Furthermore, we have not seen how formidable a Grade-1 Ruin is, so we naturally have to go take a look.”
Hearing their words, Mu Chen finally felt heavily relieved. If it was their Nine Nether Palace alone, it would be extremely dangerous. But with the support of the four Kings, their safety could be greatly increased. This was probably because he helped them refine the Battle Will Spirits for their troops, giving them a favour. Otherwise, the four Kings would probably be unwilling to be involved with the unknown. But, regardless, since the four Kings had all agreed to it, then they could place the Death Ruin as their objective.
Mu Chen slowly balled his hands as a flame surged in the depths of his black pupils.
Battle Formation Master… He’s looking forward to it now and hoped that the Death Ruin wouldn’t disappoint him.

"value": "Chapter 398: Challenging The Wolf King\n\"You what you?\" Mo Wuji said fiercely. \"This old man had no relations to you but you chased after me for months. Today, this old man will pay this all back with interest.\"\nAs he spoke, Mo Wuji threw out another punch. This punch was headed towards the white-haired girl’s core dantian. He had decided to destroy this girl’s spirit channels before he forced answers out of her.\nFear emerged in this white-haired girl’s eyes, and with a quick swipe, she retrieved a talisman from her ring. The talisman instantly activated, sweeping up a beam of blinding white light.\nWithin the white light, this white-haired girl sighed; she knew that her mission had failed. It was so hard for her to reach this part of space but now she needed to break through the void to return. If she wanted to come back again, it wouldn’t be so easy.\nA mission that shouldn’t be failed, had actually been failed. Fortunately, she could still circle her spiritual will within her body, allowing her to activate her talisman. Otherwise, she might have lost her little life here.\n\"Boom!\" Mo Wuji’s punch was even more violent than before, directly blowing up a huge pit at where that white-haired girl was.\nHowever, Mo Wuji wasn’t a half bit happy. When he threw out that punch, he could tell that the white-haired girl had escaped using a talisman.\nIndeed, there was nothing in that giant pit.\nThe scene where that white-haired girl escaped using a talisman was witnessed by almost everyone here. The original ten people were staring in shock. If they could casually leave like that, they would have left a long time ago.\n\"How did she leave?\" A cultivator asked in shock. However, no one answered him because no one knew the answerr.\n\"This dao friend, may I ask whether you know who that person who just left with a talisman was?\" Mu Yingqiao clasped his fists and asked from afar.\nEven though Mo Wuji looked like an ordinary mortal, no one dared to treat him like so. Even more so, no one dared to walk out and stand in front of Mo Wuji.\nAn ordinary mortal was able to injure a person who could leave this space canyon? An ordinary mortal could use elemental energy here?\n\"I don’t know that too.\" Mo Wuji replied simply, sweeping his gaze across Mu Yingqing. Thereafter, it landed on Cang Xue.\nHe was rather familiar with this big and sturdy red-haired man; he gave off the same aura as that Cang Jue.\n\"You are Mo Wuji?\" Cang Xue immediately recognised Mo Wuji. Even though he hadn’t met Mo Wuji personally, he had seen Mo Wuji’s image. After all, he was chasing after Mo Wuji, so now that Mo Wuji was right in front of him, how could he not recognise Mo Wuji?\n\"You’re that supposed Space Wolf King, right? I heard that after I killed that white-eyed b*stard wolf of yours, you were looking everywhere to kill me?\" Mo Wuji extended his hand and Tian Ji Pole appeared.\nHis level had already reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he really wanted to try his hand at this Space Wolf King.\nThe Space Wolf King, who had always been pursuing Mo Wuji, started to have some hesitations. He just saw that Mo Wuji was still able to use his elemental energy here. If Mo Wuji was able to force him out of this small canyon, then he could only wait for his death.\nAs for Mo Wuji’s cultivation, he did not even think about it. Being able to enter here meant that Mo Wuji definitely was a Great Circle Earthly Immortal. Lord Black Fox had said before, only Great Circle Earthly Immortals could touch that soaring, glowing light.\n\"Mo Wuji, are you the Rank 1 of the Universal Board?\" Black Fox suddenly stood in front of Cang Xue and asked.\nHearing Black Fox’s question, Zhen Xing’s Bian Shuangbi, Mu Yingqiao, Lou Chuanhe and co. all stared at Mo Wuji. Clearly, they were all interested to know whether Mo Wuji was the Rank 1.\nWhen Mo Wuji heard this question, he instantly frowned. Everyone in Zhen Xing should know that he was Rank 1 on the Universal Board, but it couldn’t have reached here right?\nAfter all, he took close to a year of constant teleportation to get to this place. Whose information network was so strong? Looking at these people, he knew that they were not trapped here for merely one or two days.\n\"Then who are you?\" Mo Wuji stared at this short, black skinned girl, his voice holding a tinge of precaution. He wasn’t a newbie, with just a simple glance in the canyon, he could tell that there were different factions within the ten over people inside.\n\"Wolf King Mountain’s Black Fox?\" Black Fox said faintly, her tone containing a hint of valiance.\n\"Wolf King Mountain ah, I absolutely hate that place. I’m not answering you.\" Mo Wuji chose to reject Black Fox’s question. He also started to be more cautious; he wouldn’t fear the Wolf King alone, but if Black Fox was added into the mix, then things were going to get troublesome.\n\"Dao Friend Mo, I’m Bian Shuangbi. If you’re a cultivator from Zhen Xing, you can come over to our side.\" Bian Shuangbi also stood up, clasping his fists towards Mo Wuji.\nMo Wuji glanced at Bian Shuangbi’s spot and shook his head. That place was too small, going there would only be torturing himself. Moreover, he was not used to sitting near strangers when he cultivated.\nEh, wait, Bian Shuangbi. This name sounds a little familiar.\nSoon, Mo Wuji recalled who Bian Shuangbi was; he was a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah, an existence at the Rank 2 of the Universal Board. How did this fella end up trapped here? If not for him, Mo Wuji, this fella had always been Rank 1 on the Universal Board for thousands of years.\n\"Oh right, let me introduce to you some people. This is Mu Yingqiao, Universal Board Rank 3. A few years ago, he was still Rank 2.\" Bian Shuangbi pointed at a long bearded man not far from him.\nMu Yingqiao? This fella was also a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah. That’s right, he was indeed Rank 2, but he had been pushed down by me.\n\"This is Lou Chuanhe, he has not been here for long.\" Bian Shuangbi then pointed at a man dressed like a space nomad.\nMo Wuji’s faze immediately shifted from Mu Yingqing to Lou Chuanhe. If they were talking about relationships, then Loy Chuanhe was more closely tied to him than Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. Lou Chuanhe was Zhen Xing’s 4th Star Lord. However, he had disappeared. Unexpectedly, he had ended up in this ghost town.\nOn the other hand, Mo Wuji was the 8th Star Lord. If they really ended up fighting, he just needed to state his identity and he believed that Lou Chuanhe would definitely help him.\n\"This is Fanq Qi, and by Fang Qi’s side is Qu Yang. Fang Qi came from the Lost Continent, while Qu Yang is the sect head of Absolute Saber Sect.\"\nFollowing Bian Shuangbi’s introduction, Mo Wuji noticed that Fang Qi looked the oldest here. His hair was all white, and he looked like he might die at any moment. This fella was from Lost Continent; they could be considered to have come from the same place. Mo Wuji nodded to him.\nAs for Qu Yang, he was just like hissect name. He stood there like a staight pine. There was a sheatheless saber on his back. That saber looked incomparably perfect, no flaws could be seen anywhere. This fella reminded Mo Wuji of Solitary Red Knot. When Mo Wuji first saw Solitary Red Knot, Solitary Red Knot also had a sheatheless sword on his back.\nIf he included himself, Bian Shuangbi only introduced five people. Clearly, the others weren’t from Zhen Xing.\n\"Dao Friend Mo, you just came from Zhen Xing. Do you know if my Absolute Saber Sect is doing well?\" The man standing like a straight pine suddenly clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji.\nBecause of Bian Shuangbi’s introduction, Mo Wuji knew that he was called Qu Yang. Moreover, Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of him, he had this spirit exuding from him.\nHowever, Mo Wuji did not know how to answer about the Absolute Saber Sect. He was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, he was naturally clear about the various big sects. However, he had never heard of the Absolute Saber Sect. Clearly, the sect had already become like its name, absolutely eradicated.\nSeeing that Mo Wuji had remained silent, a hint of melancholy flashed across Qu Yang’s eyes. He continued, \"No matter what had happened, I hope that Dao Friend Mo can tell me about it. I, Qu Yang, know that my disciples are too direct. Even if something bad had happened, I will be able to accept it.\"\nMo Wuji clasped his fists and said, \"Dao Friend Qu, I’m afraid Absolute Saber Sect had disappeared from Zhen Xing. Because I have never heard of such a sect.\"\nMu Yingqiao seemed to understand Qu Yang’s personality, he hurriedly interjected, \"The Absolute Saber Sect is in a remote location, and its disciples don’t frequently travel around Zhen Xing. It’s normal that Dao Friend Mo had never heard of it.\"\nMo Wuji did not want to lie to a person like Qu Yang, he shook his head and said, \"No, I’m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain. I shouldn’t be wrong about this matter.\"\n\"You’re Star King Mountain’s Star Lord?\" The silent Lou Chuanhe suddenly cried out in surprise.\nMo Wuji clasped his fists towards Lou Chuanhe, \"Mo Wuji greets Senior Lou. That’s right, I’m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain, I’m also the 8th Star Lord.\"\nHe never expected that he would meet the new Star Lord here. And this was not the most important point, the most important point was that this Star Lord was actually Rank 1 on the Universal Board. As a Star Lord, he understood what that meant. One had to kill boundless amounts of foreign cultivators in order to reach the top.\nActually, when he left Zhen Xing, Zhen Xing was still embroiled in battle with the alien cultivators and space beasts. Thus, he had always been worried about Zhen Xing’s safety. Moreover, Wolf King Mountain’s Cang Xue had just arrived, causing this worry to deepen.\n\"Dao Friend Mo, how’s Zhen Xing?\" After laughing heartily, Lou Chuanhe asked. If Star King Mountain had such a strong powerhouse like Mo Wuji as the Star Lord, Zhen Xing definitely wouldn’t have been destroyed.\nMo Wuji’s feelings for Lou Chuanhe instantly soared. None of the Zhen Xing cultivators here actually inquired about Zhen Xing. Only Lou Chuanhe, a previous Star Lord, would actually care about Zhen Xing’s safety.\n\"Senior Lou, don’t be worried. Before I came here, I already prepared something like an impenetrable defense for Zhen Xing. I believe that none of the foreign cultivators would dare come close to Zhen Xing. Now that Wolf King Mountain’s little b*stard is here, we can be more assured.\" After Mo Wuji explained to Lou Chuanhe, he waved his Tian Ji Pole.\nHe was sure that if he were to fight the Space Wolf King, Lou Chuanhe would definitely stand by his side. Since he would get help, he naturally wouldn’t be courteous to the Space Wolf King.\n\"Come attack me, old wolf. Oh right, I still have to tell you one thing. Your Wolf King Mountain is now rubble in space. Also, your little b*stard called Cang Jue or something like that had been killed by me.\" Mo Wuji took a few steps forward, standing in front of the Space Wolf King."

第三百九十八章
“你什么你？” 莫无忌恶声道，“老子和你无冤无仇，你追我几个月时间，今天老子连本带利都要收回来。”
说话间，莫无忌再次一拳轰了出去。 这一拳对这着白发少女的中丹田，他决定将这白发少女的灵络给毁去再慢慢逼问。
白发少女眼里露出惊慌，手一抹从戒指中抓出一枚符箓，符箓瞬息激发，卷起一圈耀眼的白光。
白光之中，这白发少女心里暗叹，她知道自己的任务失败了。 好不容易来到这一方星空，现在却需要直接破空回去。
本来不可能失败的任务，现在偏偏就失败了。 好在她的神念还能在周身环绕，让她激发符箓，否则的话，这条小命说不定都会留在这里。
“轰！” 莫无忌这一拳卷动的元力更是狂暴，直接将那白发少女所在的位置轰出了一个巨坑。
但是莫无忌没有半点欣喜，他在轰出这一拳的时候，就知道那白发少女激发符箓逃走了。
果然，巨坑之中什么都没有。
白发少女利用符箓遁走这一幕，几乎所有的人都看在眼中。 原本峡谷深处的十几人更是目瞪口呆，如果进来可以随随便便就走掉，那他们早就走了。
“她怎么走的？” 一名修士愣愣的问了一句，没有人回答他，因为没有人知道他是怎么走的。
“请问这位道友，刚才借助符箓离开此地的是何人?”穆影桥远远的对莫无忌一抱拳问道。
尽管莫无忌看起来就和凡俗之人一般，但是这里没有一个人敢将莫无忌当成凡俗之辈。 更是没有人敢走出去，站在莫无忌的对面。
一个凡俗之人，能够将一个能离开这个星空峡谷的人轰伤？ 一个凡俗之人能在这种地方施展元力？
莫无忌简单回答了一句，目光从穆影桥身上扫了一下，就落在了最外面的苍血身上。
这个身材高大红发男子他有些熟悉，被他杀掉的苍绝就有这种气息。
苍血同一时间认出了莫无忌，尽管他没有见过莫无忌，他早就看过莫无忌的影像。 要知道他追杀的就是莫无忌，此刻莫无忌就在眼前，他岂能认不出莫无忌？
“你是那个所谓的星空狼王吧？ 听说我斩杀了你的狼崽子后，你四处在追杀我？” 莫无忌一伸手，天机棍落在手中。
他人仙四层的实力，还真想试试这个星空狼王。
一直在追杀莫无忌的星空狼王反而有些犹豫了，他可是亲眼看见莫无忌在这里还能动手。 一旦他和莫无忌打起来，对方只要将他从这狭小的地方逼出去，那就意味着他只能等死。
至于莫无忌的修为，他已经不再考虑了。 能进入这个地方，肯定是地仙圆满才是。 黑狐大人就说过，不是地仙圆满，绝对碰不到那飞升彩霞。
“莫无忌，你就是获得星空榜第一的人？” 黑狐忽然拦在苍血前面问道。
听到黑狐的问话，真星的边双壁、穆影桥、娄川河等人都是盯着莫无忌，显然都想知道莫无忌是不是星空榜的第一。
莫无忌听到这个问话，顿时皱起了眉头。 他星空榜第一的事情真星的修士确都知道，但不可能传到这里来啊？
要知道他一路不间断的空间瞬移，接近一年时间才到这里，谁的消息如此强大？ 看这些人，就知道被陷在这个地方不是一天两天了。
莫无忌盯着这个瘦小的黑肤女子，语气中带着一些戒备。 他可不是菜鸟，尽管入眼扫了一下，他就可以看出，这里面坐了十几个人，似乎分了好几帮。
“狼王山黑狐？” 黑狐淡淡的说道，语气中带着一丝强悍。
莫无忌选择了拒绝回答黑狐。 他也更是谨慎起来，单单一个狼王他不惧，如果再加上一个黑狐，他就有些忌惮了。
“莫道友，在下边双壁，若你是真星来的修士，可以直接到我们这边来。” 边双壁也站了起来，对莫无忌抱拳说道。
莫无忌扫了一下边双壁说的方位，他摇了摇头没有过去。 那个地方实在是太小了点，过去受罪。
咦，等等，边双壁，这个名字似乎有些熟悉。
很快莫无忌就想起了边双壁是谁，这可是真星的大能啊。 星空榜第二的存在，这家伙怎么被困在这个地方了?若不是他莫无忌，数千年来，这家伙可一直是星空榜的第一来着。
“对了，我来给你介绍一下。 这位是穆影桥，星空榜的第三，几年前他还是第二来着。” 边双壁指着距他不远处的一名长须男子说道。
这家伙又是一个大能啊。 没错，的确是星空榜第二，不过被自己干下去了。
“这是娄川河，来这里时间不长。” 边双壁又指着一名看起来就和星空流浪者一般的男子说道。
莫无忌立即就将目光从穆影桥身上移到了娄川河身上，如果说关系更近一些，那娄川河和他的关系比边双壁、穆影桥要更加亲切。 娄川河是真星的第四任星主，后来失踪了，没想到却来到了这个鬼地方。
而他是真星的第八任星主，若是等会动起手来，只要他亮明身份，想必娄川河会出手帮忙。
“这位是方旗，在方旗侧边的是屈扬。 方旗来自真星的失落大陆，屈扬是绝刀宗的宗主。”
顺着边双壁的介绍，莫无忌注意到方旗的年龄看起来算是这里最老的，白发苍苍，似乎随时都能走到寿命的终点。 这家伙是失落大陆来的，也算是和他来自一个地方，莫无忌对他点了点头。
至于屈扬，就和他的宗门一般，站在那里就好像笔直的青松一般，在他的背后背着一柄无鞘大刀，刀身朴质无比，看不出来有任何奇怪的地方。 这家伙让莫无忌想起了独行红结，他第一次看见独行红结的时候，独行红结背后也是背着一柄无鞘剑。
连同他自己在内，边双壁只介绍了五人。 很显然，其余的人不是真星的。
“莫道友，你刚刚从真星而来，不知道我绝刀宗可好？”
因为边双壁的介绍，莫无忌知道他叫屈扬。 而且莫无忌对他很有好感，此人站在那里就有一种气概。
不过对绝刀宗，莫无忌不知道应该如何回答。 他是星帝山的星主，各大宗门自然清楚，却从未听说绝刀宗。 那很明显了，就是绝刀宗已经和这个名字一般，被别的宗门灭掉了。
看见莫无忌没有说话，屈扬眼里闪过一丝黯然，再次说道，“无论是什么事情，还请莫道友告诉我。 我屈扬也知道绝刀宗的弟子性情太直接，就算是又什么不好的地方，我也能理解。”
莫无忌一抱拳说道，“屈道友，绝刀宗恐怕是从真星消失了。 因为我并没有听说过绝刀宗这个宗门。”
穆影桥似乎知道屈扬的性格，赶紧插口说道，“绝刀宗地处偏僻，门内弟子也不常在真星走动，莫道友不知道也情有可原。”
莫无忌不想欺骗屈扬这种人，他摇了摇头说道，“不是，我是星帝山的现任星主，应该还不至于弄错这件事。”
“你是星帝山的星主？”
莫无忌对娄川河一抱拳，“莫无忌见过娄前辈，没错，我正是星帝山的现任星主，也是第八任星主。”
这并不是重点，重点是这个星主是星空榜的第一。 作为星帝山的星主，他太清楚这个星空榜第一的含金量了，必须要斩杀无穷无尽的异族才能登顶。
事实上在他离开真星后，真星和异族的战斗一直处于劣势中，所以他一直担心真星的安危。 加上之前星空狼王苍血进来说的话，他就更是担心了。
“莫道友，真星如何？” 娄川河大笑之后问道。
星帝山出了莫无忌这样强大的星主，真星不会被灭。
“娄前辈，不必担心。 在我进来这里之前，我已将真星打造的和铁通一般，至于异族被我杀的不敢靠近真星。 现在看见狼王山的小崽子在这里，我就更是放心了。”
莫无忌对娄川河解释过之后，扬了扬手中的天机棍。 他肯定只要他对付星空狼王，娄川河必定会站在他这边。 有人帮忙，他自然不会对星空狼王客气。
“动手吧，老狼。 对了，还要告诉你一件事，狼王山现在化成了星空中的陨石。 还有，你家那个小崽子叫什么苍绝的，也被我杀了。”

Chapter 398: Challenging The Wolf King
"You what you?" Mo Wuji said fiercely. "This old man had no relations to you but you chased after me for months. Today, this old man will pay this all back with interest."
As he spoke, Mo Wuji threw out another punch. This punch was headed towards the white-haired girl’s core dantian. He had decided to destroy this girl’s spirit channels before he forced answers out of her.
Fear emerged in this white-haired girl’s eyes, and with a quick swipe, she retrieved a talisman from her ring. The talisman instantly activated, sweeping up a beam of blinding white light.
Within the white light, this white-haired girl sighed; she knew that her mission had failed. It was so hard for her to reach this part of space but now she needed to break through the void to return. If she wanted to come back again, it wouldn’t be so easy.
A mission that shouldn’t be failed, had actually been failed. Fortunately, she could still circle her spiritual will within her body, allowing her to activate her talisman. Otherwise, she might have lost her little life here.
"Boom!" Mo Wuji’s punch was even more violent than before, directly blowing up a huge pit at where that white-haired girl was.
However, Mo Wuji wasn’t a half bit happy. When he threw out that punch, he could tell that the white-haired girl had escaped using a talisman.
Indeed, there was nothing in that giant pit.
The scene where that white-haired girl escaped using a talisman was witnessed by almost everyone here. The original ten people were staring in shock. If they could casually leave like that, they would have left a long time ago.
"How did she leave?" A cultivator asked in shock. However, no one answered him because no one knew the answerr.
"This dao friend, may I ask whether you know who that person who just left with a talisman was?" Mu Yingqiao clasped his fists and asked from afar.
Even though Mo Wuji looked like an ordinary mortal, no one dared to treat him like so. Even more so, no one dared to walk out and stand in front of Mo Wuji.
An ordinary mortal was able to injure a person who could leave this space canyon? An ordinary mortal could use elemental energy here?
"I don’t know that too." Mo Wuji replied simply, sweeping his gaze across Mu Yingqing. Thereafter, it landed on Cang Xue.
He was rather familiar with this big and sturdy red-haired man; he gave off the same aura as that Cang Jue.
"You are Mo Wuji?" Cang Xue immediately recognised Mo Wuji. Even though he hadn’t met Mo Wuji personally, he had seen Mo Wuji’s image. After all, he was chasing after Mo Wuji, so now that Mo Wuji was right in front of him, how could he not recognise Mo Wuji?
"You’re that supposed Space Wolf King, right? I heard that after I killed that white-eyed b*stard wolf of yours, you were looking everywhere to kill me?" Mo Wuji extended his hand and Tian Ji Pole appeared.
His level had already reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he really wanted to try his hand at this Space Wolf King.
The Space Wolf King, who had always been pursuing Mo Wuji, started to have some hesitations. He just saw that Mo Wuji was still able to use his elemental energy here. If Mo Wuji was able to force him out of this small canyon, then he could only wait for his death.
As for Mo Wuji’s cultivation, he did not even think about it. Being able to enter here meant that Mo Wuji definitely was a Great Circle Earthly Immortal. Lord Black Fox had said before, only Great Circle Earthly Immortals could touch that soaring, glowing light.
"Mo Wuji, are you the Rank 1 of the Universal Board?" Black Fox suddenly stood in front of Cang Xue and asked.
Hearing Black Fox’s question, Zhen Xing’s Bian Shuangbi, Mu Yingqiao, Lou Chuanhe and co. all stared at Mo Wuji. Clearly, they were all interested to know whether Mo Wuji was the Rank 1.
When Mo Wuji heard this question, he instantly frowned. Everyone in Zhen Xing should know that he was Rank 1 on the Universal Board, but it couldn’t have reached here right?
After all, he took close to a year of constant teleportation to get to this place. Whose information network was so strong? Looking at these people, he knew that they were not trapped here for merely one or two days.
"Then who are you?" Mo Wuji stared at this short, black skinned girl, his voice holding a tinge of precaution. He wasn’t a newbie, with just a simple glance in the canyon, he could tell that there were different factions within the ten over people inside.
"Wolf King Mountain’s Black Fox?" Black Fox said faintly, her tone containing a hint of valiance.
"Wolf King Mountain ah, I absolutely hate that place. I’m not answering you." Mo Wuji chose to reject Black Fox’s question. He also started to be more cautious; he wouldn’t fear the Wolf King alone, but if Black Fox was added into the mix, then things were going to get troublesome.
"Dao Friend Mo, I’m Bian Shuangbi. If you’re a cultivator from Zhen Xing, you can come over to our side." Bian Shuangbi also stood up, clasping his fists towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji glanced at Bian Shuangbi’s spot and shook his head. That place was too small, going there would only be torturing himself. Moreover, he was not used to sitting near strangers when he cultivated.
Eh, wait, Bian Shuangbi. This name sounds a little familiar.
Soon, Mo Wuji recalled who Bian Shuangbi was; he was a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah, an existence at the Rank 2 of the Universal Board. How did this fella end up trapped here? If not for him, Mo Wuji, this fella had always been Rank 1 on the Universal Board for thousands of years.
"Oh right, let me introduce to you some people. This is Mu Yingqiao, Universal Board Rank 3. A few years ago, he was still Rank 2." Bian Shuangbi pointed at a long bearded man not far from him.
Mu Yingqiao? This fella was also a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah. That’s right, he was indeed Rank 2, but he had been pushed down by me.
"This is Lou Chuanhe, he has not been here for long." Bian Shuangbi then pointed at a man dressed like a space nomad.
Mo Wuji’s faze immediately shifted from Mu Yingqing to Lou Chuanhe. If they were talking about relationships, then Loy Chuanhe was more closely tied to him than Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. Lou Chuanhe was Zhen Xing’s 4th Star Lord. However, he had disappeared. Unexpectedly, he had ended up in this ghost town.
On the other hand, Mo Wuji was the 8th Star Lord. If they really ended up fighting, he just needed to state his identity and he believed that Lou Chuanhe would definitely help him.
"This is Fanq Qi, and by Fang Qi’s side is Qu Yang. Fang Qi came from the Lost Continent, while Qu Yang is the sect head of Absolute Saber Sect."
Following Bian Shuangbi’s introduction, Mo Wuji noticed that Fang Qi looked the oldest here. His hair was all white, and he looked like he might die at any moment. This fella was from Lost Continent; they could be considered to have come from the same place. Mo Wuji nodded to him.
As for Qu Yang, he was just like hissect name. He stood there like a staight pine. There was a sheatheless saber on his back. That saber looked incomparably perfect, no flaws could be seen anywhere. This fella reminded Mo Wuji of Solitary Red Knot. When Mo Wuji first saw Solitary Red Knot, Solitary Red Knot also had a sheatheless sword on his back.
If he included himself, Bian Shuangbi only introduced five people. Clearly, the others weren’t from Zhen Xing.
"Dao Friend Mo, you just came from Zhen Xing. Do you know if my Absolute Saber Sect is doing well?" The man standing like a straight pine suddenly clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji.
Because of Bian Shuangbi’s introduction, Mo Wuji knew that he was called Qu Yang. Moreover, Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of him, he had this spirit exuding from him.
However, Mo Wuji did not know how to answer about the Absolute Saber Sect. He was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, he was naturally clear about the various big sects. However, he had never heard of the Absolute Saber Sect. Clearly, the sect had already become like its name, absolutely eradicated.
Seeing that Mo Wuji had remained silent, a hint of melancholy flashed across Qu Yang’s eyes. He continued, "No matter what had happened, I hope that Dao Friend Mo can tell me about it. I, Qu Yang, know that my disciples are too direct. Even if something bad had happened, I will be able to accept it."
Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Qu, I’m afraid Absolute Saber Sect had disappeared from Zhen Xing. Because I have never heard of such a sect."
Mu Yingqiao seemed to understand Qu Yang’s personality, he hurriedly interjected, "The Absolute Saber Sect is in a remote location, and its disciples don’t frequently travel around Zhen Xing. It’s normal that Dao Friend Mo had never heard of it."
Mo Wuji did not want to lie to a person like Qu Yang, he shook his head and said, "No, I’m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain. I shouldn’t be wrong about this matter."
"You’re Star King Mountain’s Star Lord?" The silent Lou Chuanhe suddenly cried out in surprise.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Lou Chuanhe, "Mo Wuji greets Senior Lou. That’s right, I’m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain, I’m also the 8th Star Lord."
He never expected that he would meet the new Star Lord here. And this was not the most important point, the most important point was that this Star Lord was actually Rank 1 on the Universal Board. As a Star Lord, he understood what that meant. One had to kill boundless amounts of foreign cultivators in order to reach the top.
Actually, when he left Zhen Xing, Zhen Xing was still embroiled in battle with the alien cultivators and space beasts. Thus, he had always been worried about Zhen Xing’s safety. Moreover, Wolf King Mountain’s Cang Xue had just arrived, causing this worry to deepen.
"Dao Friend Mo, how’s Zhen Xing?" After laughing heartily, Lou Chuanhe asked. If Star King Mountain had such a strong powerhouse like Mo Wuji as the Star Lord, Zhen Xing definitely wouldn’t have been destroyed.
Mo Wuji’s feelings for Lou Chuanhe instantly soared. None of the Zhen Xing cultivators here actually inquired about Zhen Xing. Only Lou Chuanhe, a previous Star Lord, would actually care about Zhen Xing’s safety.
"Senior Lou, don’t be worried. Before I came here, I already prepared something like an impenetrable defense for Zhen Xing. I believe that none of the foreign cultivators would dare come close to Zhen Xing. Now that Wolf King Mountain’s little b*stard is here, we can be more assured." After Mo Wuji explained to Lou Chuanhe, he waved his Tian Ji Pole.
He was sure that if he were to fight the Space Wolf King, Lou Chuanhe would definitely stand by his side. Since he would get help, he naturally wouldn’t be courteous to the Space Wolf King.
"Come attack me, old wolf. Oh right, I still have to tell you one thing. Your Wolf King Mountain is now rubble in space. Also, your little b*stard called Cang Jue or something like that had been killed by me." Mo Wuji took a few steps forward, standing in front of the Space Wolf King.

第707章
夏天，我怎么啦？” 不知何时，安可可发现自己能说话了，便有些焦急的问道。
“没事，我帮你洗个澡就可以了。” 夏天的声音传入她的耳中，随即安可可便只觉身体一轻，她已经被夏天抱了起来，片刻之后，她便感觉到温水正在冲洗着她的身体，而还有一只炽热的手掌，正在她身上抚摸。
当那只炽热的手掌摸遍她身上每一寸的肌肤之后，最后终于轻轻抚摸着她的俏脸，而她也终于能睁开眼睛，只是她一睁开眼，便发现夏天正用炽热的眼神盯着她。
“你，你又这样看着我干嘛呢？” 安可可娇嗔道。
“你的皮肤好像真的变异了呢。” 夏天盯着安可可，喃喃说道。
“什么变异了啊？” 安可可这回倒是不会骂夏天，只是嘟了嘟嘴，“我的皮肤难道不是跟以前一样吗？”
安可可一边说一边照着镜子看了看，这一看就呆了，这，这还是她吗？ 或者说，镜子里，那个皮肤正泛着淡淡荧光的少nv，真的就是她么？
“我之前还以为，这个世上不会有人比我那时候的皮肤更好了呢，现在我才明白，原来真的还有，不过，这个还是我的皮肤。” 安可可用梦呓般的声音说着，然后她转头看着夏天，眼神里闪耀着异样的光芒，“你刚刚对我做了什么？”
“噢，因为你今晚吃了太多luàn七八糟的yào，先是吃了点míyào，后面喝了烈酒，酒里还混了好几种劣质chūnyao，要是直接用最原始的方法给你解除yàoxing的话，对你的身体会有比较大的伤害，所以呢，我干脆就用了逆天八针给你伐máo洗髓了。” 夏天回答道，他其实早就知道用逆天第四针乃是最好的办法，只是那个时候他还有那么点点犹豫，到底要不要让安可可成为他老婆呢？
“啊，这么说，我已经好啦？” 安可可娇呼一声问道，这个时候，她也意识到，她现在真的不再感觉到那种不正常的燥热，心里也没那种强烈的渴求。
“当然好了啊！” 夏天点了点头。
“噢！” 安可可心里涌起一丝怪异的感觉，不知为何，她似乎又有点失落，本来她以为，她马上会迎来人生中最重要的一个时刻，从一个少nv真正变成一个nv人呢！
夏天却在这时一探手，又将她抱了起来，然后走出浴室，重新将她放到了床上。
“你，你要干嘛？” 安可可呆了呆，忍不住小声的问了一句。
夏天没有说话，只是飞快脱掉了自己身上的衣服。
安可可顿时明白过来，那件事情，原来还是会发生的，一时间，她心跳加速，而不知何时，那种消失的渴求，似乎又从心里蔓延出来，她的身体似乎又一次感到有点热，而当夏天将她压在身下的时候，她更是主动搂住了夏天。 翌日清晨。
动人的手机铃声把夏天从睡梦中吵醒过来，他拿过手机看了一下，然后便接了电话，语气里带着一丝不高兴：“喂，一大早的你打电话给我干嘛？”
“啊，天哥，不好意思，那我等会再打给你吧！” 打来电话的乃是常小宝，他有些急切的说道。
“喂，你都打来了，有事就说吧！” 夏天可不想等会又被这家伙吵一次。
“天哥，其实也没什么事，我只是想跟你说下郑家的事情，我以为你会想知道的。” 常小宝连忙说道，语气甚是兴奋，“天哥，你是不知道，你昨晚走了之后，我就用了个办法把郑克良骗回来了，然后大概十点多的时候，jing察到了那里，把郑克良给抓了！”
“噢，那家伙还没si啊？” 夏天随口问了一句。
“没，不过刚刚我从jing方那边得到消息，jing方认定郑克良和他老爸一起跟一个nv的玩3P，结果搞出了人命，他老爸和那nv的都si了，还有，最解气的是，李道明那神棍也si了，现在郑克良就是最大的嫌疑犯，一时半会估计是出不来了，哈哈！” 常小宝甚是开心，他自然清楚事情不是那么回事，不过他只要结果，现在这结果让他那是相当兴奋，当然，这结果也让他再次认识到夏天的强大。
“知道了。” 夏天对此却是兴趣不大，他并不怎么关心那些人的si活。
“对了，天哥，安可可没事吧？” 常小宝又问了一句。
“她当然没事了。” 夏天有点不悦，“她跟我一起，能有什么事？”
“那个，天哥，能不能帮我个忙啊？ 小兰和小萍想要安可可的亲笔签名照片……”常小宝有点不好意思的问道。
夏天直接打断了他的话：“等她醒了我再问她吧，现在别烦我了，我还要睡觉呢！”
“呃，好的，天哥，那我先挂了！” 常小宝不敢继续再说什么，说完就挂了电话。
夏天放下电话，正想接着睡觉，却发现怀里有了动静，却是安可可醒了过来，她用漂亮的眼睛看着夏天，娇声询问：“谁啊？”
“就是昨晚那个车里的家伙，叫常小宝。” 夏天随口回答了一句，然后打了个哈欠，“不管他，继续睡吧。”
“嗯。” 安可可温顺的应了一声，往夏天怀里挤了挤，跟他挨得更紧，然后重新闭上眼睛只是，两人还没睡着，咚咚的敲mén声却传了过来。
安可可嚷了一句。 “请问安可可小姐在吗？”
mén外传来一个声音，“我们是京城东区分局重an组形jing，有个an子想要请安小姐帮忙调查一下。” “等一下！”
安可可朝mén口喊了一句，然后转头看着夏天，一脸焦急的样子，“怎么办？ 会不会是陈怡把我们告啦？”
“不用怕，陈怡已经si了。” 夏天安慰了她一句，“我去把那些jing察赶走就是了。”
夏天说着飞快起了床，穿好衣服，然后闪身来到mén口，拉开房mén，就朝mén口几个人不满的嚷了一句：“喂，都给我滚啊，别来烦我们！

Chapter 707

"It's fine, I'll help you take a bath." Summer's voice entered her ears. Immediately after, An Keke felt her body lighten as she was lifted up by Summer. A moment later, she could feel the warm water washing her body and a hot hand caressing her body.
When the hot hand had touched every inch of her skin, it finally caressed her pretty face, and she was finally able to open her eyes. However, when she opened them, she found that Summer was staring at her with a burning gaze.
"You, why are you looking at me like that again?" An Keke pouted coquettishly.
"Your skin seems to have really mutated." Summer muttered as she stared at An Keke.
"What mutation?" However, An Keke did not scold him this time. She merely pouted, "Isn't my skin the same as before?"
As she spoke, An Keke looked in the mirror and was immediately shocked. Is … is this still her? In other words, was that girl in the mirror, with her skin glowing faintly, really her?
"Before, I thought that no one in this world would have a better skin than mine back then. But now, I finally understand. So there really is one. However, this one is still my skin." "What did you just do to me?" "Nothing," Ankh says in a dreamy voice, and then she turns to look at the summer, her eyes shining strangely.
Oh, because you ate too many messy drugs tonight, first some knockout drugs, then some strong alcohol, and there were also several types of inferior aphrodisiacs mixed in the wine. If you directly use the most primitive method to remove the poison, it would be quite harmful to your body. Actually, he already knew that using the heaven defying fourth needle was the best method. However, at that time, he was still a little hesitant. However, he finally made his decision after An Keke had taken off her clothes.
"Ah, so I'm fine now?" At that moment, she also realized that she no longer felt that abnormal heat anymore, and she no longer had that strong desire in her heart.
"Of course!" Summer nodded.
"Oh!" An Keke felt a weird feeling surge up from her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt a bit disappointed. She had thought that she would soon experience the most important moment in her life, turning from a girl into a real woman!
Summer reached out and picked her up again, then walked out of the bathroom and put her back on the bed.
"You, what are you doing?" An Keke was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but ask softly.
Summer didn't say anything, just took off her clothes quickly.
At that moment, her heartbeat quickened, and she didn't know when, but the desire to disappear once again seemed to spread out from her heart. Her body once again felt a little hot, and when the summer pressed down on her, she took the initiative to hug him. The next morning.
The moving ringing of his cell phone roused Xia Chen from his sleep. He checked his phone for a while, then answered with a hint of unhappiness in his tone. "Hey, why did you call me so early in the morning?"
"Ah, Brother Tian, I'm sorry. I'll call you back later!" The person who called him was Chang Xiaobao.
"Hey, you're already calling. Just tell me what you have to say!" Summer didn't want to be quarreled by this guy again.
"Brother Tian, it's actually nothing important. I just wanted to tell you about the Zheng Family. I thought you would want to know." Chang Xiaobao quickly said in an excited tone, "Brother Tian, you don't know. Last night, after you left, I used a method to trick Zheng Keliang into coming back. At around 10 AM, the police arrived and arrested Zheng Keliang!"
"Oh, that guy isn't dead yet?" Summer asked casually.
"No, but I just got the news from the police just now that Zheng Keliang and his dad played 3P with a woman, and the result is human life. His dad and that woman both died, and the most depressing thing is, Li Daoming also died, now Zheng Keliang is the biggest suspect, he won't be able to come out soon, haha!" Chang Xiaobao was overjoyed. He knew that this was not the case, but he only wanted the result. Now, the result made him extremely excited. Of course, the result made him realize the power of summer once again.
"Got it." However, he was not interested in this matter in the summer. He did not really care about the lives and deaths of those people.
"Oh yeah, Tian-ge, is An Keke alright?" Chang Xiaobao asked.
"Of course she's fine." "She's with me, what can happen to her?"
"Um, can you do me a favor?" Little Lan and Little Ping want An Keke's autographed photo … " Chang Xiaobao asked in embarrassment.
Summer interrupted him, "I'll ask her when she wakes up. Don't bother me anymore, I still need to sleep!"
"Uh, okay. Brother Tian, I'll hang up first!" Chang Xiaobao did not dare to say anything else and hung up the phone.
Xia Chen put down the phone and just as he was about to go back to sleep, he noticed that there was movement in his arms. However, An Keke woke up and used her beautiful eyes to look at Xia Keke as she asked, "Who is it?"
"The guy in the car last night, his name is Chang Xiaobao." Xia Zhi casually replied, then yawned, "Ignore him, continue sleeping."
"Yes." An Keke answered meekly. She squeezed into Xia Xinyan's arms and leaned even closer to him, then closed her eyes again. However, before the two of them could fall asleep, a knocking sound came from the door.
"Who is it?" An Keke shouted.
"May I ask if Miss An Keke is here?" A voice came from outside the door. "We are from the Beijing Eastern District Sub-Bureau's Serious Cases Group. We have a case that we would like to ask Miss An for help with."
"Wait a minute!" An Keke shouted towards the door, then turned around to look at Xia Keke with an anxious look. "What do we do? Could it be that Chen Yi sued us? "
"Don't be afraid, Chen Yi is already dead." Summer consoled her. "I'll just get rid of the cops."
Summer quickly got up from the bed and put on her clothes. Then, she dashed to the door, opened it, and shouted at the few people at the door in dissatisfaction, "Hey, all of you f * ck off, don't bother us anymore!"

This was because although the undead monsters looked terrifying, not a single one of them could stand up to her Little Whites’ attacks. Under the attacks from 4 big carrots, not even LV20 1 Star Elites or 2 Star Elites could avoid being insta-killed. As expected from the number 1 ranked profession… though, in fairness, the skills all looked completely silly.\nSeeing how weak the Zombies were, Tian Tian was not afraid anymore, and started to make faces at them.\nThe Cloud Stepping Mare galloped onwards. Ling Chen did not stop at all, and avoided all of the monsters he saw. After half an hour, he came to the Underworld Entrance that Xiao Hui had found in the past, where he had first met Qian Gun Gun. Around 100 metres to the east of the Underworld Entrance was the Lonely Spirit Ridge.\nLing Chen glanced at the Underworld Entrance, but did not slow down or stop, and continued into the Lonely Spirit Ridge. There, he stopped the Cloud Stepping Mare. The first time he had come here, black fog had obscured the mountain ridges, and the air was deathly grey. It was a completely hellish scene. The dirt under his feet was soft and damp, and both light and fresh air seemed to avoid this place.\nTo be able to destroy mountain ridges and the ground to such an extent- one could see the might of the Heavenly Wrath of the Nine Suns from that.\nAlthough a long time had passed, the smell of burning still lingered in this place. There was still black fog in the sky, but there wouldn’t be any danger here. Because of the War Demon Beast, no other creatures dared to live around here or even come near. And now, because the countless mountain ridges had been eradicated, Ling Chen would be able to travel much faster on the flat ground.\n“This place used to have many mountain ridges, and was where I first met Xi Ling. Afterwards, there was a large fire, turning it like this.” Ling Chen said as he ordered the Cloud Stepping Mare into a trot.\n“Whew… Big brother, I finally caught up to you.”\n“My name is Xi Ling, big brother can call me Ling Ling!”\n“Wherever big brother goes, that’s where my home is.” “I want to follow big brother, wherever big brother goes, just take me as well! Ok?”\n“Because I like big brother!”\n“Big brother, you need to keep your promises! If I can bring back some Flaming Black Grass, you need to let me follow big brother. Wherever big brother goes, I’m going as well… no take backs!” ………………………………..\nLing Chen’s mind wound back to when he had first met Xi Ling. Back then, she had worn flame-red clothes, and looked like a young girl. At that time, he didn’t know that she was the crimson red bird he had saved. Because he saved her that time, she repaid him with everything she had… and sacrificed herself twice for him.\nNow that Xiao Qi went to the Lava Purgatory, the Vermillion Bird would probably save Xi Ling… Ling Chen hoped that the day Xiao Qi returned, he would also see Xi Ling again.\n“Was this Xi Ling’s home?” Tian Tian asked as she blinked and looked around, wondering why Xi Ling would live in such a place. Although she had never met Xi Ling, she had heard her big sisters mention her many times. She knew that Xi Ling was Ling Chen’s pet, and was incredibly beautiful and powerful.\n“Not exactly. Back then, Xi Ling was imprisoned here, and I happened to find her and decided to release her. From then on, she decided to follow me. She’s left temporarily for now, but will be back soon. I’m sure Tian Tian will definitely like her.” Ling Chen said while smiling. Both Xi Ling’s true form and human form were gorgeous, and anyone would immediately like her at first sight.\nThey were already quite far from the Ghastly Grounds, and there was pretty much no black fog here, allowing them to see clearly. In front of them were many high and low mountain ridges.\nThe ground here was uneven, and the mountain ridges were more sparsely spaced than at the Lonely Spirit Ridge. However, the mountain ridges were generally taller, and some extended into the clouds. Moreover, there were plants here, unlike the barren Lonely Spirit Ridge.\nTian Tian tilted her head, curiously asking, “Big brother, where is this? Are you looking for something here?”\nThey were now ‘past the eerie mountain ridge in the east’.\n“It should be here,” Ling Chen said uncertainly, “Let’s have a look around.”\n“Wah, the air smells so nice here.” Tian Tian said as she deeply breathed in, with a satisfied look on her face. The Ghastly Grounds and Lonely Spirit Ridge smelled of death, and comparatively, the air here smelled like it was from heaven.\nLing Chen held Tian Tian’s hand as she skipped alongside him, looking around her in curiosity. She had never seen such a place in the real world, and was filled with wonder.\nThe air was refreshing and there were birds singing and insects chirping. This didn’t seem like a dangerous place. After walking for a few minutes, Ling Chen became slightly more relaxed. Xiao Hui walked behind him, sniffing around, but not seeming to find anything.\nAfter going through another mountain ridge without any luck, Ling Chen looked at Tian Tian and asked, “Are you tired? We can rest if you want.”\n“I’m not tired at all! I don’t feel tired when I’m with big brother.” Tian Tian said as she smiled.\nLing Chen also smiled. This girl was quickly learning how to say sweet words. Before Shui Ruo had left them, after walking for just a short while, Tian Tian would demand to be piggybacked, and then refuse to get off.\nHearing Xiao Hui’s warning call, Ling Chen turned around. The call was quite soft, indicating that the threat was not very dangerous. Ling Chen saw a few stone balls around the size of a head rolling towards him. There seemed to be eyes on those stone balls.\nMonsters! Monsters had finally appeared! Ling Chen took out his weapons and prepared for battle. Instantly, information from Xiao Hui appeared in his mind.\n[Little Stone Golem]: Type: Demon, Level: LV1, HP: 30. Normal stones that mysteriously developed consciousness. Has the lowest level of intelligence.\nPassive Abilities: 30% Resistance against Earth type damage.\nAttack Skills: [Charge]: Uses its body to charge into enemies, causing very little damage.\nWeaknesses: Wind element damage causes an additional 50% damage.\nLing Chen, who had been expecting a big fight, almost fell over. After passing by the dangerous Ghastly Grounds and Lonely Spirit Ridge, he had finally arrived at this place. Ling Chen fully expected incredibly dangerous enemies, but he had never thought that they would only be LV1!\nIn the Forgotten Continent, only the Novice Village had LV1 monsters!\nThese incredibly weak little monsters evidently couldn’t tell the difference in strength between themselves and Ling Chen. After seeing Ling Chen and Tian Tian approach, they had actually taken the initiative to come over and attack them. Ling Chen smirked, and casually swept out, turning them into rubble. Apart from broken rocks, they didn’t drop anything else, not even any copper coins.\n“Why are there LV1 monsters here? Didn’t Qian Gun Gun’s map say that there’s a powerful Nature spirit here?” Ling Chen muttered to himself. Just as he was about to put away his weapons, his expression froze and he gripped Tian Tian’s hand as he looked forwards."

第374章
在yīn森之地中穿行，天天最开始的尖叫声到后来完全变成了各种欢呼声，因为这里的亡灵生物虽然长的一个比一个可怕，但愣是没有一个能经的起她召唤的小白的集中攻击。 四只小白四个大红萝卜下去，就是只20级的一星甚至二星jīng灵都是照秒不误。 在华夏职业排行榜中排行第一的职业，又岂是闹着玩的……虽然技能看上去完全就是耍着玩的。
这些僵尸如此“不堪一击”，天天自然也就半点都不害怕了，还不时的朝着它们做鄙视的鬼脸。
踏云驹马不停蹄，凌尘一路上没有片刻停留，刻意的躲避着各种怪物，半个小时之后，凌尘来到了之前小灰所发现的冥界入口之一，也是第一次遇到钱滚滚的地方，从这个入口再向东百米左右，就是寂魂岭的所在。
他勒马停下，无言的看着前方。 第一次进入这里时，一眼望去，黑雾之中模糊的映现着一座又一座或高或矮的山岭，在空气中呈现着骇人的死灰之sè，描绘着一幕犹如地狱冥府般的情境。
脚下的土地格外湿.软，光线和空气近似于yīn森之地，甚至比yīn森之地还要yīn森。
在汐灵那一次九阳天怒下，熊熊的九阳之火焚灭了战魔兽，也焚烧了整个寂魂岭，数不清的山岭都在九阳之火中被烧成灰烬，根本找不到了存在的痕迹。 就连地面，也被灼烧了三米之深。
而且由于山岭全部被烧平，不需要翻山越岭，穿过这里要迅捷的很多。 “这里当初是一片山岭，也是我找到汐灵的地方。
“呼啊……大哥哥，终于追上你了。”
“我的名字叫汐灵，大哥哥可以喊我灵灵哦！”
“大哥哥去哪里，哪里就是我的家。” “让我以后跟着大哥哥，大哥哥去哪里，就带我去哪里？
“因为我喜欢大哥哥！”
“大哥哥，要说话算话，我拿回黑炎草的话，要答应让我跟着大哥哥，大哥哥去哪里，就带我去哪里……不许反悔哦！”
脑海中浮现着第一次遇到汐灵的画面，那时的汐灵，是一个穿着火红sè衣裳，稚嫩，却又有着不符年龄的妖艳的女孩。 他当时还不知道，她就是他在寂魂灵的地下空间所救下的那只有着华丽翎羽的赤sè鸟儿。
现在萧琦去了熔岩炼狱，朱雀应该会遵守承诺救汐灵吧……希望萧琦回来的那一天，也可以看到汐灵平安归来。
天天眼睛一眨不眨的看着四周，疑惑着汐灵为什么会居住在这样的地方。 她虽然没有见过汐灵，但听姐姐们说起过很多次，知道它是凌尘的宠物，而且漂亮的过分，同时还厉害的过分。 “也不是。
然后她就一直跟着我了。 不过她现在因为一些事暂时离开，但很快就会回来了。 天天见到她的话，一定会很喜欢的。”
远离了yīn森之地，战魔兽也被烧成渣，到了这里，周围已经基本没有了黑雾，视线格外的清晰。 眼前，一大片高低各异的山岭充满了整个视野。
这里的地面凹凸不平，山体的分布比之当初的寂魂岭要稀疏，但平均高度却要远远的超出，有几座山体甚至高耸入云。
天天歪了歪头，好奇的问道：“哥哥，这是什么地方？ 你要找的东西就在这里吗？”
其中一个宝珠，就在这个部落的殿堂之中？
天天大口的呼吸着这里的空气，一脸享受的表情。
yīn森之地和寂魂岭亡灵气息缭绕，走在其中憋闷到近乎窒息，相比之下，这里的自然氛围就好比是天堂一样。 被凌尘牵着小手，天天蹦蹦跳跳的跟着凌尘的步伐，好奇的打量着周围。
在现实世界，她从来没有到过这样的地方，因而这里的一切对她来说都充满着新奇。
空气清新自然，耳边鸟叫虫鸣，怎么都不像是个危险的地方。 在其中走了几分钟，凌尘的jīng神就完全松弛了下来。
又翻过了一座小山，还是一无所获。 凌尘看了一眼天天，问道：“累不累？ 累的话我们究竟休息一会。”
“不累！ 和哥哥在一起玩，一点都不会觉得累。” 天天笑嘻嘻的说道。
凌尘暗道这小丫头真是越来越会说话了。 在水若离开之前，他们出去走一小会儿，天天都会吵着要他背，而且一背上，就死活不肯下来了。
身侧，传来了小灰一声叫唤，这是小灰示jǐng的声音，但叫的很轻，显然不是什么大的危险。 凌尘马上抬头看向前方……视线里，出现了几个脑袋大小，在地上咕噜咕噜滚动的石球。
终于出现怪物了！ 凌尘jīng神一振，“嗖”的拿出武器做出了战斗姿态，下一秒，来自小灰的怪物讯息出现在他的眼前。
【小石怪】：类别：妖，等级：1级，生命：30。 原本是普通的石头，存在的时间太久，莫非奇妙的就有了意识，有着最低等的智力。
天赋：免疫30%土系伤害。
攻击方式：【撞击】：用身体对敌人进行撞击，基本难以造成什么伤害。
弱点：风系抗xìng-50%。
跨过了极度危险的yīn森之地和寂魂岭，终于来到了这个地方，做好了应该各种危险的准备，结果出现在面前的居然是1级的怪物！ 遗忘大陆居然还有1级的怪物。
这不是应该是新手村专属的吗！
这些弱小的不能再弱小的石头怪显然没有自知之明，察觉到凌尘和天天的存在后，竟然主动的滚了过来，一副攻击的姿态。 凌尘嘴角一咧，随手一挥，砰砰砰一阵响，这些石头怪就变成了一地碎石，除了碎石快，连个铜板都没有爆出。
凌尘小声的自言自语。 他刚要收起武器，忽然神sè一僵，眉头猛的一动，快速伸手把天天的手儿紧紧握在手心，抬眸直直的看向了前方。

Chapter 374: Nameless Ridge (2)
As they travelled through the Ghastly Grounds, Tian Tian’s sharp cries eventually became whoops of excitement. This was because although the undead monsters looked terrifying, not a single one of them could stand up to her Little Whites’ attacks. Under the attacks from 4 big carrots, not even LV20 1 Star Elites or 2 Star Elites could avoid being insta-killed. As expected from the number 1 ranked profession… though, in fairness, the skills all looked completely silly.

The Cloud Stepping Mare galloped onwards. Ling Chen did not stop at all, and avoided all of the monsters he saw. After half an hour, he came to the Underworld Entrance that Xiao Hui had found in the past, where he had first met Qian Gun Gun. Around 100 metres to the east of the Underworld Entrance was the Lonely Spirit Ridge.

Hearing Xiao Hui’s warning call, Ling Chen turned around. The call was quite soft, indicating that the threat was not very dangerous. Ling Chen saw a few stone balls around the size of a head rolling towards him. There seemed to be eyes on those stone balls.
Monsters! Monsters had finally appeared! Ling Chen took out his weapons and prepared for battle. Instantly, information from Xiao Hui appeared in his mind.
[Little Stone Golem]: Type: Demon, Level: LV1, HP: 30. Normal stones that mysteriously developed consciousness. Has the lowest level of intelligence.
Passive Abilities: 30% Resistance against Earth type damage.
Attack Skills: [Charge]: Uses its body to charge into enemies, causing very little damage.
Weaknesses: Wind element damage causes an additional 50% damage.
Ling Chen, who had been expecting a big fight, almost fell over. After passing by the dangerous Ghastly Grounds and Lonely Spirit Ridge, he had finally arrived at this place. Ling Chen fully expected incredibly dangerous enemies, but he had never thought that they would only be LV1!
In the Forgotten Continent, only the Novice Village had LV1 monsters!
These incredibly weak little monsters evidently couldn’t tell the difference in strength between themselves and Ling Chen. After seeing Ling Chen and Tian Tian approach, they had actually taken the initiative to come over and attack them. Ling Chen smirked, and casually swept out, turning them into rubble. Apart from broken rocks, they didn’t drop anything else, not even any copper coins.
“Why are there LV1 monsters here? Didn’t Qian Gun Gun’s map say that there’s a powerful Nature spirit here?” Ling Chen muttered to himself. Just as he was about to put away his weapons, his expression froze and he gripped Tian Tian’s hand as he looked forwards.

"value": "The Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire sat on the dragon throne as he looked at the three people before him, Zhu Hongwu (the Marquis of Xuanji), Yan Mingyue and Mei Wulang.\n\"Wulang, settle this for me.\"\nHearing the order, Mei Wulang bowed and said, \"Yes, my lord.\"\nLiang Pan looked at the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, and said slowly, \"The Great Qin Empire will soon be in turmoil and we cannot stand idly by. Many people will wish that we do not intervene. Take care of them for me, Hongwu.\"\nZhu Hongwu bowed and said, \"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not let those with ill intentions affect our plans.\"\nYan Mingyue suddenly said from the side, \"The Fourth Prince is now on his way to Mount Shu. Is it possible that the Great Zhou Empire may face some constraints?\"\nLiang Pan smiled slightly, \"You do not need to worry about that. I have my own plans.\"\nYan Mingyue's eyes flashed as she nodded silently. However, in her heart, doubts rose. \"If the Fourth Prince Liang Kun met with some accident at Mount Shu, then the Great Zhou Empire will definitely be at odds with Mount Shu. It's unlikely that Zhu Hongwu and Liang Pan did not consider this.\"\nHer gaze flitted between Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu, sovereign and subject, and noticed that both of them appeared uncaring. She tried to erase the thought from her mind.\nZhu Hongwu turned his gaze to Yan Mingyue and asked, \"Is the Great Void Sect intent on changing their game plan?\"\nYan Mingyue ran her fingers through the hair by her ear and smiled, \"The Great Zhou Empire has grown too much in strength recently. Coupled with the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which was unexpected, our sect has now been given an additional choice.\"\nZhu Hongwu nodded his head and said calmly, \"Their efforts would be for nothing. My lord will pacify all under heavens and obtain the Mandate of Heaven. Our rise is unstoppable.\"\nYan Mingyue smiled but did not respond.\nShe looked into the void, slightly lost and thought, \"Could this be machinations of my Big Senior? What ambition! However, whether or not we could achieve our goals will depend on our individual abilities. I can more or less figure out what is going on with the Great Zhou Empire.\"\n\"However, as for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, perhaps they will bring about unexpected surprises? Big Senior, I hope you won't make the same mistake as Junior Pang.\"\nJust as Wu Qingrou had predicted, Lin Feng did not call for a conference after the Battle of the Kunlun Mountains to assert his newfound dominance over the region.\nThe Aeolus Sect had been completely obliterated. The areas formerly controlled by the Holy Wind Mountain had been reduced to a wasteland. That was enough to show off the Celestial Sect's dominance of the region.\nAs always, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was unpredictable and mysterious. Mount Yujing remained concealed in the void, formless and shadowless.\nWaves after waves of middle to small powers headed towards Shazhou City to meet with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Many wished to see Lin Feng personally. This could be because many sects resided in the area.\nAs for Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao, who often made trips between Shazhou City and Mount Yujing, they had become celebrities in their own rights as people sought to suck up to them.\nHowever, there were certain forces in the Kunlun Mountains that sought to contact other, more powerful forces too. These sects were mainly found in the borderland regions of the Kunlun Mountains.\nLin Feng did not care about them and he made no attempt to stop them.\nThe Kunlun Mountains themselves were not ideal for cultivation. If not, a major sect would have at least opened shop here.\nAt this point, the intrusion of external forces did not mean that there would be increased competition for land and resources. It was more of a defensive measure against the Celestial Sect of Wonders.\nHowever, 90% of the sects in the Kunlun Mountains submitted to the Celestial Sect of Wonders' dominance.\nLin Feng was not only the most influential person in the region, but he managed to massively boost his personal and the sect's prestige there too. Respectively, they increased to 85 points and 80 points.\nAfter the battle, the most eye-catching characteristic was the fact that Lin Feng's personal prestige value in the whole world, together with the prestige of the Celestial Sect, increased massively. While there was still some distance from an overall score of 80, this change was most welcome.\nPreviously, regardless of whether it was the sect-opening ceremony at Shazhou City or accompanying Xiao Yan to Xingyun Peak to fulfil his promise or bringing his entire squad to the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, the increase in his prestige was geographically confined. While his worldwide prestige did increase, it did so very slowly.\nAfter that big battle, Lin Feng and his sect's prestige massively increased in the entire Grand Celestial World, particularly the Divine Lands and all of its subregions.\n\"Other than destroying the Aeolus Sect, subduing the Golden Crow Grand Sage must have played a role too.\"\nLin Feng understood this in his heart. His mood was buoyant as he thought, \"If things continue this way, I have a strong chance of completing the system's main quest.\"\nOf course, the difficulty was great too. With the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there would be many more sects that would become unhappy or even wary of the Celestial Sect. Some may even treat the Celestial Sect as their enemy, like how the Aeolus Sect viewed the Celestial Sect.\nThe cake is only this big. When a new and much stronger person decides to come in and snatch for cake, more and more cake would be taken away. Others would definitely be unhappy.\nThe prestige of Lin Feng and his sect rose day after day, non-stop.\nBut Lin Feng believed that prestige could not rise indefinitely. Once his sect met with some difficulties or challenges, then it was very likely that their prestige would drop. That would be painful.\nHence, after his victory, Lin Feng did not try to bask in the joy of victory too much. He continued to work on improving his own potential.\nDigesting the results of the big battle was the best way to increase his own actual powers.\nShi Tianhao (also known as Xiao Budian) was still recuperating. Lin Feng gave the capture Feilian King to the Kui Cow King to manage. He intended to send them, in the near future, to Xiao Budian's Wasteland Valley, where their Wind and Thunder Parturition Talisman Formation's power would be maximised.\nAfterwards, he intended to send Shi Tianhao in there. He would need to rest for a long while there.\nAfter Lin Feng had left, Yang Qing devoted all his energy to caring for his Little Junior.\nOther than Yu Shiling, who was killed by Shi Tianhao on the spot, the other Aeolus Sect cultivators and Yu Family cultivators had all been captured. All of their Nascent Soul stage magic items that were not destroyed had been given to Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao, Kui Cow King, Jieyu and Tun Tun as rewards.\nRegardless of whether it was a magic item from the Aeolus Sect or the Yu Family, they were all very valuable. In certain ways, they could be said to be more valuable than any random Nascent Soul stage items.\nThe former group of items were infused with the powers from the Aeolus Formless Mantra and refined through the Nine Heavens Formless Squall. The latter incorporated the powers of the Xuanming Mantra and the Xuanming Primordial Water.\nKang Nanhua, Miao Shihao and the rest could not only use these items to fight their enemies but also test their own powers.\nWhile they were unable to manipulate the Nine Heavens Formless Squall or the Xuanming Primordial Water, they would still be able to use them to increase their mastery and their battling abilities.\nFor Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, their greatest takeaway would be for them to familiarize with the different battling styles of their opponents.\nAs for magic items below the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Feng stowed them all away. He hoped to use them to incentivize his disciples in the future.\nHowever, while Lin Feng did overthrow the Heavenly Wind Holy Man, he massively damaged the Aeolus Sect's most important treasure, the Immortal Soul stage magic treasure, the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan.\nThe magic treasure was tightly bound to the Heavenly Wind Holy Man's own Immortal Soul avatar. When the Heavenly Wind Holy Man was crushed by Mount Yujing, the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan too was wrecked.\nThe Heavenly Wind Holy Fan was directly crushed by Mount Yujing and hence, Lin Feng could only collect its shattered remains. Piecing them together again would not be a problem, but the original soul of the magic treasure met the same fate as the Heavenly Wind Holy Man.\nEven if the shattered Treasure Fan could be reformed, its spirit would have been damaged. It was impossible for it to form a consciousness again. All Lin Feng could do right now would be for him to ascend into the Immortal Soul stage and then fuse it with other treasure and recultivate it. Only then could this magic treasure's powers be realized.\nOn the bright side, the spell formation for the Nine Heavens Squall Formation was almost intact. While it was slightly damaged, it could be repaired and put to use pretty soon.\nHowever, Lin Feng had more pressing matters to attend to.\nSitting cross-legged on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, six balls of purple gas floated before Lin Feng. Six Celestial Small Worlds were before him.\nEvery single Celestial Small World contained the silhouette of a prisoner. Looking at them carefully, three of them were men of giant stature.\nOne of them had only one eye and one arm. His eyes gave off an ice-blue glare. The other two of them had the heads of birds and the body of a man. Both of them had wings and as their wings fluttered, a breeze was swept up.\nThis was the cosmic form of the Yu Yiluan and the two late Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Aeolus Sect.\nIn the other three Celestial Small Worlds, the chained forms of three 12-13 years old people could be seen. They were the nascent souls of Yu Yiluan and the other two.\nEarlier on, having been trapped in the Two Elements of Creation Formation, the three late-Nascent Soul stage elders struggled fiercely. After Lin Feng trapped the Xuanming Holy Man in there too, he needed to concentrate all of the formation's power on him. Hence, he had to take care of the three of them first.\nUnder the bombardment of the Formation, the three of them had their physical body completely destroyed. Only their cosmic form and their nascent souls were left.\nAfterwards, faced with the continued attacks of the Formation, the three of them had their consciousness gradually removed. Only a primal innocence remained. They were akin to newborn babies.\nHere, they were unable to create trouble for Lin Feng anymore. Hence, he trapped their cosmic forms and their nascent souls separately.\nLin Feng stared at the six of them trapped in the Celestial Small Worlds as he made his calculations. Soon, he devised a plan.\nExtending his finger, he laid it on Yu Yiluan's nascent soul, which then turned into a ray of white light. It dashed into another Celestial Small World, where Yu Yiluan's one-eyed and one-armed giant cosmic form resided.\nAfter the nascent soul had merged with the cosmic form, it appeared to have found a body to reside in. Yu Yiluan's cosmic form began to vibrate violently."

周帝梁盘坐在龙椅上，静静看向下方的朱洪武、燕明月和梅无浪三人。
“无浪，事情交给你了。”
梅无浪闻言，立刻躬身：“遵命。”
梁盘又看向玄机侯朱洪武，缓缓说道：“大秦皇朝很快就要发生动荡，我大周必然不能置身事外，但想来会有很多人不希望我们插手，或许会提前做些动作，这方面就交由洪武你来应对了。”
朱洪武行了一礼：“陛下放心，些许鬼蜮伎俩，上不得台面。”
燕明月这时突然在一旁说道：“四皇子眼下奉圣谕外出，远赴蜀山，大周未免鞭长莫及。”
梁盘微微一笑：“燕仙子可放心，此事朕心中已经有了计较。”
燕明月目光闪了闪，点头不语，但其实心中疑窦丛生：“若是四皇子梁乾在蜀山出了什么意外，大周皇朝同蜀山之间必然要起争端，这一点梁盘和朱洪武不可能想不到。”
她视线在梁盘和朱洪武君臣之间转了转，见两人都是平静淡然的模样，于是便将心头疑惑压了下去。
朱洪武这时目光向着燕明月看了过来，问道：“太虚观，确定要改变以往的布局了吗？”
燕明月轻拢耳边发丝，笑了笑：“大周最近的势头太猛了，而玄门天宗的崛起虽然出乎意料之外，但确实为太虚观提供了多一种选择。”
朱洪武点了点头，平静的说道：“徒劳而已。 吾皇定鼎天下，是天命所归。
燕明月一笑，没有做出任何回应。
她有些出神的望着虚空：“这是大师兄的手笔吗？ 好大的气魄，只是能否达到预期设想，却要看大家各自的本事了，大周皇朝这边的情况，我大致可以随时了解。”
“但玄门天宗那里，或许会带来惊喜，大师兄。 你应该不会犯和庞师弟一样的错误吧？”
正如伍轻柔所说，在昆仑山之战后，林锋并没有在昆仑山脉特意去彰显自己的存在感与主导权。
风神宗毫无还手余地的覆灭，神风山遗址方圆数千里山脉尽毁，化作一片荒芜，所有的一切都已经向整座昆仑山脉昭告了玄门天宗的霸主地位。
玄门天宗一如既往神秘莫测，玉京山隐于虚空之中。 无影无踪，高高在上。
一批又一批昆仑山本土中小型势力前往沙洲城，希望可以拜会玄门天宗，尤其是希望可以求见玄门之主林锋，这其中尤以昆仑山南麓地区的势力居多。
经常来往于沙洲城和玉京山之间的康南华与苗世豪，都成了被这些人争相巴结的对象。
也有部分昆仑山南麓地区的势力，尤其是山脉边缘地带的势力，在暗中联系地缘接近的其他大势力。
对此，林锋并不介意，也不阻止。
要不然也会数千年来，都没有什么特别大的宗门在这里扎根。 开山立派了。
此时外界势力的渗透，更大程度上，其实不是为了争抢昆仑山的地盘和资源，而是针对玄门天宗的一种防范措施。
不过，此刻昆仑山百分之九十以上的修真势力，都对玄门天宗表示了臣服。
林锋现在不仅在昆仑山北麓地区一言九鼎，在原先没什么根基的昆仑山南麓地区，林锋的个人声望和宗门整体声望，已经分别飞涨到八十五点和八十点，涨势极为狂暴。
这一战之后，最显著的特点就是，林锋发现自己在整个世界范围的个人声望，很玄门天宗的整体声望，都有了巨大增长，虽然距离全体八十还有距离，但这个变化非常喜人。
以往，不管是沙洲城外开山大典，还是陪萧焱前往行云峰赴约，又或者是率队参加荒海法会，声望的增长都是地区性的，即只有一个或几个地区的声望显著增长。
而这一次大战过后，整个天元大世界神州浩土，各个地区的林锋个人声望和宗门整体声望都出现较大增长。
“除了灭掉风神宗外，打趴下了那头老金乌，应该也是一个重点。”
林锋对此心中有数，心情也很好：“按照这样发展下去，完成主线任务，希望还是很大的。”
当然了，难度也很大，随着玄门天宗的崛起越发强势，自然也就会有越来越多其他势力对玄门天宗警惕不满，甚至萌发敌意，道理就和风神宗一样。
蛋糕就那么大，眼见一个突然闯进来分蛋糕的人越来越强大，分走蛋糕越来越多，其他人肯定会感到不满。
林锋的个人声望和玄门天宗整体声望目前为止都一直处于增长态势。
但林锋相信，声望这东西不会是只升不降的，一旦自己和宗门遇到挫折，那么声望值很有可能会下降，那就很让人蛋疼了。
所以此战过后，虽然大获全胜，但林锋高兴过后也就罢了，居安思危，进一步努力提升自身实力。
消化大战战果，便是提升实力最有效的途径。
小不点石天昊还在养伤，林锋便把擒获的飞廉王先交给了夔牛王管教，日后它们都是要被送去小不点的荒天谷，在那里将风雷化生符阵的力量发挥到极致。
然后将伤痕累累的石天昊放了进去，在之后很漫长的一段时间里，小家伙都要在这里静养。
杨清则在林锋离开后，尽心尽责的照顾这位重伤的小师弟。
除了于十岭被石天昊当场击杀以外，其他的风神宗和于氏家族的元婴期修士都被擒拿起来，他们随身的元婴期法器，没有损坏的，便被林锋奖励给了康南华、苗世豪、夔牛王、解臾和吞吞他们。
不管是风神宗的元婴期法器，还是于氏家族的元婴期法器，都弥足珍贵，某种意义上来讲，价值胜过寻常元婴期法器。
前者以风神无相诀，勾动九天无相罡风加以祭炼，后者则是以玄冥诀，融入了玄冥真水祭炼而成。
康南华、苗世豪他们祭炼法器，不仅仅是多了一种御敌手段，更可以揣摩其中力量意境。
虽然无法就此掌控操纵九天无相罡风和玄冥真水，但不管是道法修行还是斗法实力，都有巨大的提升。
朱易、汪林、岳红炎和杨清四人，对于他们来说，尽快消化这一战中的各种所得，就是最宝贵的收获。
至于缴获的元婴期以下法器，都被林锋充斥了自己的小金库，以后可以拿来赏赐后进弟子。
让林锋比较惋惜的是，自己虽然放翻了天风道尊，可是风神宗最要紧的宝贝，元神法宝天风宝扇受了巨大损伤。
法宝之前与天风道尊自己的元神化身紧密融合，在天风道尊被玉京山撞死的时候，天风宝扇也一起遭殃。
天风宝扇直接被玉京山撞碎了，林锋只能收集到所有碎片，重新拼合倒不是难事，但问题在于，法宝元灵也和天风道尊一个下场。
碎裂的宝扇就算拼合起来，元气已经伤了，想要自我生出灵识那是不可能，只能等林锋晋升元神之境后，结合其他宝物修补，然后重新祭炼，或许才有可能让这件法宝重新焕发光彩。
比较好的消息是九天罡风阵的阵图保存尚算完整，虽然也有破损，但若修补得法，很快便可以重新派上用场。
不过林锋此刻有更重要的事情要做。
盘膝坐在玄天宝树的树干上，林锋面前半空中悬浮着六团紫气，构成六个诸天小世界。
每个诸天小世界中都囚禁着一个光影，仔细看去，其中三个，都是身材高大的巨人。
一个独眼独臂，眼睛中射出冰蓝的光芒，剩下两个，却都是鸟头人身的形象，背生双翅，振动间罡风阵阵。
这正是于氏家族元婴后期老祖于一峦，和风神宗两个元婴后期老祖的天地法相。
另外三个诸天小世界中，则分别囚禁着三个十二、三岁少年人模样的光影，那是于一峦三人的元婴。
之前被两仪生灭阵卷入，三个元婴后期老祖都剧烈挣扎，在林锋将玄冥道尊于新涛也关进来之后，为了驱动两仪生灭阵全力对付于新涛，林锋只好先将那三个仍然不停扑腾的捣蛋鬼处理了。
阵法轰击下，三人肉身尽毁，只剩元婴和天地法相残存。
在之后法阵力量的攻击下，三人元婴灵识渐渐磨损殆尽，只剩下一种最原始，最古老的懵懂，真正的无知无识，无法无念，仿佛初生的婴儿一般。
到了这一步，他们便无法给林锋捣乱，于是林锋便将三人的元婴和天地法相分别封存起来。
林锋盯着眼前六个诸天小世界，心中不停思索盘算，渐渐有了清晰的思路想法。
伸出手指，林锋首先点在于一峦的元婴上，然后于一峦的元婴便化作一道白光，冲入另一个诸天小世界中，在那里是于一峦自己独眼独臂巨人形象的天地法相。
元婴融入天地法相之中，顿时仿佛灵魂有了躯壳肉身一样，于一峦的天地法相开始剧烈震荡起来。

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire sat on the dragon throne as he looked at the three people before him, Zhu Hongwu (the Marquis of Xuanji), Yan Mingyue and Mei Wulang.
"Wulang, settle this for me."
Hearing the order, Mei Wulang bowed and said, "Yes, my lord."
Liang Pan looked at the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, and said slowly, "The Great Qin Empire will soon be in turmoil and we cannot stand idly by. Many people will wish that we do not intervene. Take care of them for me, Hongwu."
Zhu Hongwu bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not let those with ill intentions affect our plans."
Yan Mingyue suddenly said from the side, "The Fourth Prince is now on his way to Mount Shu. Is it possible that the Great Zhou Empire may face some constraints?"
Liang Pan smiled slightly, "You do not need to worry about that. I have my own plans."
Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed as she nodded silently. However, in her heart, doubts rose. "If the Fourth Prince Liang Kun met with some accident at Mount Shu, then the Great Zhou Empire will definitely be at odds with Mount Shu. It's unlikely that Zhu Hongwu and Liang Pan did not consider this."
Her gaze flitted between Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu, sovereign and subject, and noticed that both of them appeared uncaring. She tried to erase the thought from her mind.
Zhu Hongwu turned his gaze to Yan Mingyue and asked, "Is the Great Void Sect intent on changing their game plan?"
Yan Mingyue ran her fingers through the hair by her ear and smiled, "The Great Zhou Empire has grown too much in strength recently. Coupled with the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which was unexpected, our sect has now been given an additional choice."
Zhu Hongwu nodded his head and said calmly, "Their efforts would be for nothing. My lord will pacify all under heavens and obtain the Mandate of Heaven. Our rise is unstoppable."
Yan Mingyue smiled but did not respond.
She looked into the void, slightly lost and thought, "Could this be machinations of my Big Senior? What ambition! However, whether or not we could achieve our goals will depend on our individual abilities. I can more or less figure out what is going on with the Great Zhou Empire."
"However, as for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, perhaps they will bring about unexpected surprises? Big Senior, I hope you won't make the same mistake as Junior Pang."
Just as Wu Qingrou had predicted, Lin Feng did not call for a conference after the Battle of the Kunlun Mountains to assert his newfound dominance over the region.
The Aeolus Sect had been completely obliterated. The areas formerly controlled by the Holy Wind Mountain had been reduced to a wasteland. That was enough to show off the Celestial Sect's dominance of the region.
As always, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was unpredictable and mysterious. Mount Yujing remained concealed in the void, formless and shadowless.
Waves after waves of middle to small powers headed towards Shazhou City to meet with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Many wished to see Lin Feng personally. This could be because many sects resided in the area.
As for Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao, who often made trips between Shazhou City and Mount Yujing, they had become celebrities in their own rights as people sought to suck up to them.
However, there were certain forces in the Kunlun Mountains that sought to contact other, more powerful forces too. These sects were mainly found in the borderland regions of the Kunlun Mountains.
Lin Feng did not care about them and he made no attempt to stop them.
The Kunlun Mountains themselves were not ideal for cultivation. If not, a major sect would have at least opened shop here.
At this point, the intrusion of external forces did not mean that there would be increased competition for land and resources. It was more of a defensive measure against the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
However, 90% of the sects in the Kunlun Mountains submitted to the Celestial Sect of Wonders' dominance.
Lin Feng was not only the most influential person in the region, but he managed to massively boost his personal and the sect's prestige there too. Respectively, they increased to 85 points and 80 points.
After the battle, the most eye-catching characteristic was the fact that Lin Feng's personal prestige value in the whole world, together with the prestige of the Celestial Sect, increased massively. While there was still some distance from an overall score of 80, this change was most welcome.
Previously, regardless of whether it was the sect-opening ceremony at Shazhou City or accompanying Xiao Yan to Xingyun Peak to fulfil his promise or bringing his entire squad to the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, the increase in his prestige was geographically confined. While his worldwide prestige did increase, it did so very slowly.
After that big battle, Lin Feng and his sect's prestige massively increased in the entire Grand Celestial World, particularly the Divine Lands and all of its subregions.
"Other than destroying the Aeolus Sect, subduing the Golden Crow Grand Sage must have played a role too."
Lin Feng understood this in his heart. His mood was buoyant as he thought, "If things continue this way, I have a strong chance of completing the system's main quest."
Of course, the difficulty was great too. With the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there would be many more sects that would become unhappy or even wary of the Celestial Sect. Some may even treat the Celestial Sect as their enemy, like how the Aeolus Sect viewed the Celestial Sect.
The cake is only this big. When a new and much stronger person decides to come in and snatch for cake, more and more cake would be taken away. Others would definitely be unhappy.
The prestige of Lin Feng and his sect rose day after day, non-stop.
But Lin Feng believed that prestige could not rise indefinitely. Once his sect met with some difficulties or challenges, then it was very likely that their prestige would drop. That would be painful.
Hence, after his victory, Lin Feng did not try to bask in the joy of victory too much. He continued to work on improving his own potential.
Digesting the results of the big battle was the best way to increase his own actual powers.
Shi Tianhao (also known as Xiao Budian) was still recuperating. Lin Feng gave the capture Feilian King to the Kui Cow King to manage. He intended to send them, in the near future, to Xiao Budian's Wasteland Valley, where their Wind and Thunder Parturition Talisman Formation's power would be maximised.
Afterwards, he intended to send Shi Tianhao in there. He would need to rest for a long while there.
After Lin Feng had left, Yang Qing devoted all his energy to caring for his Little Junior.
Other than Yu Shiling, who was killed by Shi Tianhao on the spot, the other Aeolus Sect cultivators and Yu Family cultivators had all been captured. All of their Nascent Soul stage magic items that were not destroyed had been given to Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao, Kui Cow King, Jieyu and Tun Tun as rewards.
Regardless of whether it was a magic item from the Aeolus Sect or the Yu Family, they were all very valuable. In certain ways, they could be said to be more valuable than any random Nascent Soul stage items.
The former group of items were infused with the powers from the Aeolus Formless Mantra and refined through the Nine Heavens Formless Squall. The latter incorporated the powers of the Xuanming Mantra and the Xuanming Primordial Water.
Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao and the rest could not only use these items to fight their enemies but also test their own powers.
While they were unable to manipulate the Nine Heavens Formless Squall or the Xuanming Primordial Water, they would still be able to use them to increase their mastery and their battling abilities.
For Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, their greatest takeaway would be for them to familiarize with the different battling styles of their opponents.
As for magic items below the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Feng stowed them all away. He hoped to use them to incentivize his disciples in the future.
However, while Lin Feng did overthrow the Heavenly Wind Holy Man, he massively damaged the Aeolus Sect's most important treasure, the Immortal Soul stage magic treasure, the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan.
The magic treasure was tightly bound to the Heavenly Wind Holy Man's own Immortal Soul avatar. When the Heavenly Wind Holy Man was crushed by Mount Yujing, the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan too was wrecked.
The Heavenly Wind Holy Fan was directly crushed by Mount Yujing and hence, Lin Feng could only collect its shattered remains. Piecing them together again would not be a problem, but the original soul of the magic treasure met the same fate as the Heavenly Wind Holy Man.
Even if the shattered Treasure Fan could be reformed, its spirit would have been damaged. It was impossible for it to form a consciousness again. All Lin Feng could do right now would be for him to ascend into the Immortal Soul stage and then fuse it with other treasure and recultivate it. Only then could this magic treasure's powers be realized.
On the bright side, the spell formation for the Nine Heavens Squall Formation was almost intact. While it was slightly damaged, it could be repaired and put to use pretty soon.
However, Lin Feng had more pressing matters to attend to.
Sitting cross-legged on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, six balls of purple gas floated before Lin Feng. Six Celestial Small Worlds were before him.
Every single Celestial Small World contained the silhouette of a prisoner. Looking at them carefully, three of them were men of giant stature.
One of them had only one eye and one arm. His eyes gave off an ice-blue glare. The other two of them had the heads of birds and the body of a man. Both of them had wings and as their wings fluttered, a breeze was swept up.
This was the cosmic form of the Yu Yiluan and the two late Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Aeolus Sect.
In the other three Celestial Small Worlds, the chained forms of three 12-13 years old people could be seen. They were the nascent souls of Yu Yiluan and the other two.
Earlier on, having been trapped in the Two Elements of Creation Formation, the three late-Nascent Soul stage elders struggled fiercely. After Lin Feng trapped the Xuanming Holy Man in there too, he needed to concentrate all of the formation's power on him. Hence, he had to take care of the three of them first.
Under the bombardment of the Formation, the three of them had their physical body completely destroyed. Only their cosmic form and their nascent souls were left.
Afterwards, faced with the continued attacks of the Formation, the three of them had their consciousness gradually removed. Only a primal innocence remained. They were akin to newborn babies.
Here, they were unable to create trouble for Lin Feng anymore. Hence, he trapped their cosmic forms and their nascent souls separately.
Lin Feng stared at the six of them trapped in the Celestial Small Worlds as he made his calculations. Soon, he devised a plan.
Extending his finger, he laid it on Yu Yiluan's nascent soul, which then turned into a ray of white light. It dashed into another Celestial Small World, where Yu Yiluan's one-eyed and one-armed giant cosmic form resided.
After the nascent soul had merged with the cosmic form, it appeared to have found a body to reside in. Yu Yiluan's cosmic form began to vibrate violently.

"value": "Chapter 337: Raising Lu Chong's Strength\nIn less than a day after leaving his students, Zhao Ya was injured by someone. Then, in less than four hours since leaving the classroom, Mu Xueqing was injured as well?\nWasn't this too coincidental? Was the God of Misfortune lingering around him?\n\"Yes!\" Meng Tao's face was flushed.\n\"Bring me to her!\"\nShaking his head, Zhang Xuan followed him into the classroom.\nWalking up to her, Zhang Xuan took a look and...\nHe suddenly felt dismayed. Indeed....\nHe couldn't discern anything at all!\nZhao Ya was cultivating a cultivation technique he imparted, and the technique could be considered as an offshoot of Heaven's Path Divine Art. Furthermore, he had been with her for a significant period of time, thus even without knowing the illness, he was able to cure her easily.\nOn the other hand, Mu Xueqing was a student he had just accepted today. As such, he didn't have a clear idea of her physical condition and thus, was unable to see through the root of her affliction in a glance.\nIf he couldn't even discern the root of her problem, how could he possibly treat her?\n\"Execute a battle technique!\"\nAfter hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan could only decide on the crudest course of action.\n\"Yes!\"\nEven though Mu Xueqing was perplexed over her teacher's instructions, she still nodded out of trust for the other party. Clenching her fist tightly, her arm shot out swiftly.\nHer offense caused the book of her in the Library of Heaven's Path to be refreshed. After taking a look, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.\nThis lass had forcefully used battle techniques beyond her and injured her meridians. This wasn't a big problem for him.\nWith a flick of his fingers, a few silver needles appeared and flew toward several parts of her body.\nA moment later, Mu Xueqing felt a surge of comfort gushing through her body. The injuries she had sustained from forcefully executing battle techniques beyond her had disappeared without a trace.\nSensing the change in her body, Mu Xueqing widened her eyes in disbelief.\nHer father was an apothecary who often formulated pills to treat the traumas of others. She knew that injuries caused by forcefully using battle techniques beyond one's capability were hard to resolve. A single mistake in the treatment could potentially cause one's cultivation to be crippled.\n\"I apologize for adding to teacher's troubles...\"\nMu Xueqing understood that Liu laoshi's means far surpassed that of ordinary physicians or apothecaries, and her admiration for the latter deepened.\n\"It's nothing. How did you get injured?\"\n\"Senior got...\"\nMeng Tao was about to explain when Mu Xueqing raised her hand and interrupted.\n\"I was trying out battle techniques and forcefully used battle techniques beyond my cultivation out of my negligence... Teacher, sorry for worrying you!\"\nZhang Xuan could tell that that Mu Xueqing was hiding something, but since the latter was unwilling to talk about it, Zhang Xuan decided not to ask any further. \"Alright! If there's nothing else, Lu Chong, you stay behind. As for the rest, you should return and rest for the day!\"\nMu Xueqing hesitated.\n\"Is there something?\" Zhang Xuan turned to look at her.\n\"Teacher, can you impart me a battle technique...\" Mu Xueqing asked with a reddened face.\nShe was the one who tried to turn the entire class against him at the very start. Thus, she felt embarrassed asking the other party to impart her a battle technique at this moment.\nHowever, she knew that if she didn't learn a new battle technique, it would be impossible for her to triumph over that lady.\nHer father's battle technique was too powerful for her. If she didn't execute it well, she would sustain heavy injuries just like how she did earlier.\nIt was impossible to become adept at a battle technique without several years of effort. She was going to fight against that person three days later. If she were to ask this of anyone else, she would never make it in time. Thus, she could only pin her hopes on Liu laoshi, who had created miracle after miracle.\n\"Battle technique?\"\nZhang Xuan turned to look at her doubtfully. \"What do you want to learn?\"\nMu Xueqing said.\n\"Saber art?\"\nZhang Xuan was surprised.\nLadies tended to prefer swords due to their lightness and elegance which complemented their disposition. Yet, this lass favored sabers instead. This was something that was beyond Zhang Xuan’s expectations.\n\"Alright, I'll think about a suitable saber art and impart one to you tomorrow. You should leave for now!\"\n\"Alright!\"\nMu Xueqing bowed in gratitude before leaving with Meng Tao and the others.\n\"Senior, why didn't you allow me to say it?\"\nAfter leaving the classroom, Meng Tao couldn't hold himself back and immediately questioned.\nShe obviously got injured while trying to uphold Liu laoshi’s honor, so why did she stop him from saying it?\n\"Say? What do you intend to say? That I got injured while sparring with Zhang shi's student? If I were to say so, Liu laoshi would most probably drag me to the other party to apologize!\"\n\"This...\"\nMeng Tao froze.\nThe standing and influence of a master teacher mustn't be underestimated. A genius like Zhang shi wasn't someone that an ordinary teacher like Liu laoshi could stand up against.\nIf Liu laoshi were to find out that his students had conflicts with other party, it was highly possible that he might drag senior there to apologize.\n\"It's not a big deal for me to lower my head and apologize, but I earnestly feel that Liu laoshi isn't inferior to Zhang shi in any way... In fact, I think he is even more capable than the latter! How can there be such a huge difference between their reputations? I must defeat that fellow and bring honor to Liu laoshi’s name!\"\nHow could Liu laoshi, despite his capability, remain as an unknown figure in the capital? Clearly, it was due to the lack of a suitable platform for him to display his prowess. The duel with Zhang shi’s student was an excellent platform to prove Liu laoshi’s ability. As long as she wins against the other party... Liu laoshi's name would be known throughout the entire capital instantly.\nEveryone would know that even though Liu laoshi wasn't a master teacher, his capability wasn't inferior to one!\n\"I agree with you!\"\nMeng Tao nodded his head in agreement.\nIndeed.\nIf senior were to report this matter to Liu laoshi, it would be impossible to continue on with the duel. If so, how could she bring honor to Liu laoshi’s name? How could she make everyone understand that he is an incredible teacher?\nOf course, he also knew that she was only trying to justify her actions. That wasn't her primary aim at all.\nMu Xueqing was a mini tyrant in the academy, having chased away several teachers. Someone had crossed her path and even wounded her. If she didn't get her revenge and make the other party apologize to her, she wouldn't be able to let this matter rest.\n\"Alright, don't let Liu laoshi know about this matter. I’ll teach whoever who dares to babble to him a lesson!\"\nMu Xueqing glared at her juniors menacingly.\n\"Yes!\"\n\"We won't say anything, but what if Lu Chong...\"\nMeng Tao suddenly thought of something and pointed toward the classroom.\nLu Chong was currently alone with Liu laoshi in the classroom. Even if they were to seal their mouth, it would be for naught if Lu Chong revealed the matter.\n\"Lu Chong? That fellow is reluctant to even open his mouth! Do you think it is possible for him to babble to Liu laoshi?\" Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes.\n\"That's true...\" Meng Tao scratched his head awkwardly.\nAnd just like they had guessed, Lu Chong didn't say anything.\nAt this moment, he was staring cautiously at Liu laoshi... The request that Liu laoshi raised had put him in a difficult position.\n\"Take off your clothes...\" His teacher's voice sounded.\nScratching his head in embarrassment, Lu Chong was at a loss.\n\"The cultivation of Poison Body is extremely difficult. For that, the physical body enhancement technique that I taught you has to reach Major Accomplishment at minimum. You are still lacking in mastery, and I’ll have to give you a boost!\"\nCultivating the Poison Body was an extremely difficult and dangerous matter. Otherwise, countless poison masters wouldn't have died in the midst of doing so.\n\"Yes!\"\nUpon hearing that his teacher was only getting him to strip for cultivation purposes, Lu Chong heaved a sigh of relief.\nIf Zhang Xuan were to know what the other party was thinking, he would definitely die of rage.\nThe students nowadays... Do they all mature that early?\nSoon, Lu Chong took off his clothes and lay horizontally on a bench in the classroom.\nFrowning slightly, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and a few silver needles appeared on his palm.\nWith a slight movement, the silver needles immediately pierced into Lu Chong's acupoints. The pure Heaven's Path zhenqi started flowing through his body.\nLu Chong's talent was nothing short of ordinary. Given his current cultivation speed, it would take at least two days or so before he could reach Major Accomplishment for the simplified version of Heaven's Path Golden Body. After reinforcing his cultivation, around four days would have already passed.\nZhang Xuan had already boasted that he would grant Lu Chong the ability to exact vengeance within ten days. If Lu Chong were to spend so long a time on the Heaven's Path Golden Body, it would be difficult for him to form the Poison Body within the deadline.\nThus, in order to hasten the process, he intended to use his own zhenqi to drive the other party's and raise the other party’s cultivation.\nIf he were to do so for Zhao Ya and the others, they might grow reliant on him, and this kind of mindset could potentially limit their future accomplishments. However, Lu Chong was different.\nHe had kneeled at the entrance of the academy just so to come under the tutelage of a teacher. Furthermore, to prevent himself from revealing anything, he could even play off as a mute for two years... His mental fortitude was far beyond Zhang Xuan's other students.\nMore importantly, the method of forcefully raising one's cultivation would expose one in excruciating pain. Zhao Ya and the others, and this was including Yuan Tao as well, would be unable to endure such grievous pain.\nZhang Xuan flicked his five fingers, and silver needles danced around.\nSurge after surge of zhenqi flowed through Lu Chong's body via his meridians, and the previously narrow meridians began to tear apart.\nIt was as though thousands of knives were lodged into his body, slicing his flesh simultaneously into innumerable pieces. It was fortunate that Lu Chong possessed a strong will. Otherwise, his mind could have broken down by now. \"Endure it!\"\nThe zhenqi in Zhang Xuan's body pumped furiously as he shot all of the silver needles in his hands out.\nZhang Xuan was well-versed in the pathways that one's zhenqi had to flow through for the cultivation of the Heaven's Path Golden Body. The silver needles seemed lodge into Lu Chong's body in a certain pathway, heading upward until it eventually reached the cap of his head.\nBoom!\nUnder the guidance of Zhang Xuan's silver needles, zhenqi gushed into Lu Chong's head. In that instant, Lu Chong felt as if an explosion had occurred in his head, as though he had broken through a bottleneck.\n\"Pixue realm... I have actually reached Pixue realm?\"\nHe instantly realized that he had broke through Dingli realm pinnacle, reaching Pixue realm.\n\"Don't move, it's not over yet!\"\nFeeling the agitated trembling of Lu Chong's body, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. With a flick of his hands, the medicinal herbs that Zhang Xuan obtained from the Physician Guild appeared in his hands. With a sudden burst of zhenqi, he reduced all of those medicinal herbs into powder.\nTzzzzzzz!\nThe powder melded together, and a reaction immediately occurred. Swiftly, it morphed into an extremely toxic substance.\nWith a grasping action, the silver needles across Lu Chong's body flew back and plunged into contact with the toxic powder. In an instant, the entire needle turned black.\nThen, with another flick, these poison needles flew back into Lu Chong's body.\nThe lethal poison flowed through the silver needle and seeped into the Lu Chong's body. An excruciating pain several times greater than that of the previous one struck him. His face immediately paled, and unable to hold himself back, he yelled in agony.\nHu!\nAfter striking all of the silver needles back onto the other party's body, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he kept the remaining medicinal powder back into his storage ring.\nHe was done conducting the first round of poison tempering. Whether the other party was able to pull through would depend on his mental fortitude.\nIf he failed to hold on, he would fall into death’s embrace!\nBut if he held on, he would be able to metamorphose from a cocoon into a butterfly, becoming one of the strongest experts in Tianwu Kingdom!"

第三百三十七章
刚离开郑阳等人不到一天，赵雅就被人打伤。 现在才离开沐雪晴等人不足两个时辰，这丫头怎么也伤了？
这运气也太背了吧！
“是！” 孟涛脸色透红。
“带我去看看！”
摇摇头，张悬跟在他身后走进教室。
一进来，果然看到沐雪晴脸色发白的斜靠在座子上。
张悬一阵郁闷。
啥都没看出来！
赵雅修炼了他传授的功法，同属天道范畴，同根同源，再加上相处的久了，就算不用知道病症，也能轻松治疗。
沐雪晴是今天才收的学生，了解不深，自然不可能像前者一样，一眼看出症结所在，快速治疗。
可看不出病症，如何治？
“你打我一拳！”
迟疑了一下，只好用之前最笨的办法。
“是！”
虽然疑惑老师为何要她这么做，但出于信任，沐雪晴还是点点头，秀拳捏紧，一拳打了过来。
对方攻击，脑海中如愿以偿的出现了关于沐雪晴的书籍，看了一眼，松了口气。
这丫头只是强行使用超出体能的武技，伤了经脉而已，算不上大问题。
手指一弹，几根银针出现，飞了过去。
片刻后，沐雪晴就感到一阵舒畅，因为强行施展武技，留下的伤势，消失不见，彻底恢复。
感受到身体上的变化，女孩瞪大了眼睛，有些难以相信。
她父亲是炼丹师，经常替人解决受伤的隐患，知道强行施展武技，想要消除的难度，这可是一旦处理不好，能导致修炼者，修为尽丧的。
怎么到了柳老师手里这么简单？
心中震惊，沐雪晴知道眼前这位柳老师，手段深不可测，更加佩服。
“没什么？ 怎么突然受伤了？”
张悬疑惑的看过来。
孟涛开口正想解释，就见沐雪晴一摆手，将其打断。
“是我刚才强行施展武技，结果因为修为不够导致的……多谢老师挂心！”
知道她言不由衷，不过，既然不想说，张悬也懒得多问，当即开口：“那就好！ 如果没什么事，路冲留下，其他人先回去吧！”
沐雪晴迟疑了一下。
“有事？” 张悬看过来。
“老师可否传授我一套武技……”沐雪晴脸色一红。
之前一直不相信这位柳老师，他都没计较，现在又要人传授武技，顿时有些不好意思。
不过，她也知道，不学新的武技，根本不可能战胜那个女孩。
父亲的武技，太过高深，施展不好，弄不好还会和刚才一样，身受重伤。
学会武技，没有数年苦功做不到，三天后就要再次与那人比武，和任何人学，恐怕都赶不上，只能将希望寄托在这位连连创造奇迹的柳老师身上。
“武技？”
张悬疑惑的看过来：“你想学什么？”
沐雪晴道。
“刀法？”
张悬有些奇怪。
女孩都喜欢用剑，因为剑走轻灵，也很漂亮秀气，符合气质，这丫头居然喜欢用刀，到让人有些意外。
“今天先回去，刀法我考虑一下，明天给你传授！” 张悬摆了摆手。
“是！”
沐雪晴点点头，这才和孟涛等人退了出去。
“学姐，你为什么不让我说？”
离开教室，孟涛实在忍不住了，开口问道。
明明是为了老师争夺颜面才受的伤，为何学姐非不让说？ “说？
怎么说？ 说和张师的学生比试，才受的伤？ 真这样说了，我怕今晚柳老师就会拉着我们去道歉！”
沐雪晴哼道。
孟涛一愣。
名师的地位和影响力实在太大，更何况张师这种超级天才，根本不是柳老师这种普通老师能够抗衡的。
真要知道和他的学生出现了矛盾，弄不好真会和学姐说的一样，带过去道歉。
可为何二人的名气相差这么多？ 我一定要战胜那个家伙，为柳老师扬名！” 沐雪晴眼中露出一道坚定。
柳老师这么好的本领，却一直默默无闻，明显缺少了一个平台，这次刚好和张师的学生比斗，一旦胜出……绝对可以瞬间名震王城。
让所有人都知道，这位柳老师虽然不是名师，却有着丝毫不弱于名师的指点水平！
“不错！”
孟涛点点头。
的确。
如果真将事情告诉柳老师，这场比试肯定打不起来了，如何为他正名？ 让所有人都知道，他是一位超厉害的老师？
当然，他也知道，学姐说的这些只是让比试变得冠冕堂皇，而不是她的主要目的。
这位沐学姐，可是学院的小霸王，连续弄走了好几个老师的主，今天被人打伤，如果不报仇，直接道歉，肯定打死心中不服。
“好了，这件事千万不能让柳老师知道，谁说出去，看我怎么教训！”
看向一干学弟学妹，沐雪晴冷哼着威胁。
“是！”
众人应了一声。
孟涛一愣，指向教室的方向。
他们都出来了，路冲现在和柳老师一起，万一他们守口如瓶了，可这家伙说出来怎么办？
“路冲？ 这个哑巴，连自己的事都不会开口，你觉得，能说我们的？” 沐雪晴白了一眼。
“这倒是……”孟涛尴尬的挠了挠头。
和他们猜想的一样，路冲的确什么都没说。
此时的他，正一脸拘谨的看过来，因为柳老师……提的要求，让他有些难为情。
“脱光衣服……”老师的声音响起。
挠挠头，路冲不知如何是好。
“修炼毒体十分艰难，而且，必须将我教你的练体功法修炼到大成，你现在还缺些火候，只能我帮你了！” 张悬神色凝重。
修炼毒体比想象中的难，不然，也不可能无数毒师都死在其中了。
“是！”
听老师让他脱衣服是为了修炼，路冲这才松了口气。
如果给张悬知道他的想法，肯定会活活气死。
现在的学生……都这么早熟吗？
时间不长，路冲就脱光衣服平躺在教室休息的长椅上。
眉毛一皱，手指一弹，几根银针出现在掌心，张悬轻轻一抖。
银针立刻刺入路冲的穴道之内，精纯的天道真气，在体内立刻流淌开来。
这个路冲的天赋的确很一般，按照他的修炼速度，将简化版的天道金身修炼到大成，恐怕需要一、两天时间，如果再加上巩固之类，至少三、四天。
已经夸下下海口，十天内让他报仇，光天道神功就花费这么久，毒体自然很难完成。
所以，为了加快速度，他打算强行运转真气，帮对方提升实力。
如果帮赵雅等人提升，他们可能会心中产生依赖，对以后的修炼，留下隐患，这个路冲不同。
能在门外跪七天七夜，只为拜师，为了防止说话漏嘴，装哑巴两年……这份心智，超过他们太多了。 如此强的心智，又怎么可能以后进步慢了，而丧失信心？
最关键的是，这种强行提升实力，将会承受很大痛苦，赵雅等人，哪怕是袁涛，恐怕都会承受不住。
嘭嘭嘭嘭！
五指轻弹，银针飞舞。
道道真气沿着经脉进入路冲体内，将之前狭窄的经脉，瞬间撕开。 强烈的疼痛，宛如凌迟，将全身的肌肉，一块块撕裂，幸亏路冲意志坚定，否则，肯定早就惨呼出声。
也不废话，张悬体内真气沸腾，将手中的银针，全部射了出去。
天道金身的运转方式，他十分清楚，知道怎样修炼才能快速提升，金针像是沿着某个路线，不停向前行走，很快来到头顶。
轰隆！
体内真气在他真气的带领下，冲了过来，路冲只觉得脑海一声巨响，像是打破了某个壁障。
“辟穴境……我竟然达到辟穴境了？”
一瞬间，他就知道，已然突破了鼎力境巅峰，达到了辟穴的境界。
“别动，还没结束！”
见他身体激动的轻颤，张悬眉毛一扬，大手一抓，从医师公会和姜舒那里得到的药物出现在面前，双手真气激荡，猛地冲击过去，将药物击成药粉。
滋滋滋滋！
这些药粉融合在一起，立刻发生了反应，像是改变了形态，变成了一种剧毒的物品。
手掌一抓，路冲身上的银针飞了起来，和药粉一接触，顿时变成了黑色。
十指连连弹出，毒针再次飞了回去，重新刺入后者的体内。
剧毒沿着银针钻入体内，一股比之前还要强大数倍的疼痛撕扯而来，路冲脸色一下变得惨白，再也坚持不住，呼喊出声。
“呼！”
将银针全部打入对方体内，张悬这才松了口气，擦擦头上的汗水，将剩下的药粉装好，放进储物戒指。
第一次锤炼已经做完，能不能坚持就看他的意志力了。
坚持不住，死亡！
坚持得住，鲤鱼跃龙门，破茧成蝶，一飞冲天！

Chapter 337: Raising Lu Chong's Strength
In less than a day after leaving his students, Zhao Ya was injured by someone. Then, in less than four hours since leaving the classroom, Mu Xueqing was injured as well?
Wasn't this too coincidental? Was the God of Misfortune lingering around him?
"Yes!" Meng Tao's face was flushed.
"Bring me to her!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan followed him into the classroom.
Walking up to her, Zhang Xuan took a look and...
He suddenly felt dismayed. Indeed....
He couldn't discern anything at all!
Zhao Ya was cultivating a cultivation technique he imparted, and the technique could be considered as an offshoot of Heaven's Path Divine Art. Furthermore, he had been with her for a significant period of time, thus even without knowing the illness, he was able to cure her easily.
On the other hand, Mu Xueqing was a student he had just accepted today. As such, he didn't have a clear idea of her physical condition and thus, was unable to see through the root of her affliction in a glance.
If he couldn't even discern the root of her problem, how could he possibly treat her?
"Execute a battle technique!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan could only decide on the crudest course of action.
"Yes!"
Even though Mu Xueqing was perplexed over her teacher's instructions, she still nodded out of trust for the other party. Clenching her fist tightly, her arm shot out swiftly.
Her offense caused the book of her in the Library of Heaven's Path to be refreshed. After taking a look, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
This lass had forcefully used battle techniques beyond her and injured her meridians. This wasn't a big problem for him.
With a flick of his fingers, a few silver needles appeared and flew toward several parts of her body.
A moment later, Mu Xueqing felt a surge of comfort gushing through her body. The injuries she had sustained from forcefully executing battle techniques beyond her had disappeared without a trace.
Sensing the change in her body, Mu Xueqing widened her eyes in disbelief.
Her father was an apothecary who often formulated pills to treat the traumas of others. She knew that injuries caused by forcefully using battle techniques beyond one's capability were hard to resolve. A single mistake in the treatment could potentially cause one's cultivation to be crippled.
"I apologize for adding to teacher's troubles..."
Mu Xueqing understood that Liu laoshi's means far surpassed that of ordinary physicians or apothecaries, and her admiration for the latter deepened.
"It's nothing. How did you get injured?"
"Senior got..."
Meng Tao was about to explain when Mu Xueqing raised her hand and interrupted.
"I was trying out battle techniques and forcefully used battle techniques beyond my cultivation out of my negligence... Teacher, sorry for worrying you!"
Zhang Xuan could tell that that Mu Xueqing was hiding something, but since the latter was unwilling to talk about it, Zhang Xuan decided not to ask any further. "Alright! If there's nothing else, Lu Chong, you stay behind. As for the rest, you should return and rest for the day!"
Mu Xueqing hesitated.
"Is there something?" Zhang Xuan turned to look at her.
"Teacher, can you impart me a battle technique..." Mu Xueqing asked with a reddened face.
She was the one who tried to turn the entire class against him at the very start. Thus, she felt embarrassed asking the other party to impart her a battle technique at this moment.
However, she knew that if she didn't learn a new battle technique, it would be impossible for her to triumph over that lady.
Her father's battle technique was too powerful for her. If she didn't execute it well, she would sustain heavy injuries just like how she did earlier.
It was impossible to become adept at a battle technique without several years of effort. She was going to fight against that person three days later. If she were to ask this of anyone else, she would never make it in time. Thus, she could only pin her hopes on Liu laoshi, who had created miracle after miracle.
"Battle technique?"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at her doubtfully. "What do you want to learn?"
Mu Xueqing said.
"Saber art?"
Zhang Xuan was surprised.
Ladies tended to prefer swords due to their lightness and elegance which complemented their disposition. Yet, this lass favored sabers instead. This was something that was beyond Zhang Xuan’s expectations.
"Alright, I'll think about a suitable saber art and impart one to you tomorrow. You should leave for now!"
"Alright!"
Mu Xueqing bowed in gratitude before leaving with Meng Tao and the others.
"Senior, why didn't you allow me to say it?"
After leaving the classroom, Meng Tao couldn't hold himself back and immediately questioned.
She obviously got injured while trying to uphold Liu laoshi’s honor, so why did she stop him from saying it?
"Say? What do you intend to say? That I got injured while sparring with Zhang shi's student? If I were to say so, Liu laoshi would most probably drag me to the other party to apologize!"
"This..."
Meng Tao froze.
The standing and influence of a master teacher mustn't be underestimated. A genius like Zhang shi wasn't someone that an ordinary teacher like Liu laoshi could stand up against.
If Liu laoshi were to find out that his students had conflicts with other party, it was highly possible that he might drag senior there to apologize.
"It's not a big deal for me to lower my head and apologize, but I earnestly feel that Liu laoshi isn't inferior to Zhang shi in any way... In fact, I think he is even more capable than the latter! How can there be such a huge difference between their reputations? I must defeat that fellow and bring honor to Liu laoshi’s name!"
How could Liu laoshi, despite his capability, remain as an unknown figure in the capital? Clearly, it was due to the lack of a suitable platform for him to display his prowess. The duel with Zhang shi’s student was an excellent platform to prove Liu laoshi’s ability. As long as she wins against the other party... Liu laoshi's name would be known throughout the entire capital instantly.
Everyone would know that even though Liu laoshi wasn't a master teacher, his capability wasn't inferior to one!
"I agree with you!"
Meng Tao nodded his head in agreement.
Indeed.
If senior were to report this matter to Liu laoshi, it would be impossible to continue on with the duel. If so, how could she bring honor to Liu laoshi’s name? How could she make everyone understand that he is an incredible teacher?
Of course, he also knew that she was only trying to justify her actions. That wasn't her primary aim at all.
Mu Xueqing was a mini tyrant in the academy, having chased away several teachers. Someone had crossed her path and even wounded her. If she didn't get her revenge and make the other party apologize to her, she wouldn't be able to let this matter rest.
"Alright, don't let Liu laoshi know about this matter. I’ll teach whoever who dares to babble to him a lesson!"
Mu Xueqing glared at her juniors menacingly.
"Yes!"
"We won't say anything, but what if Lu Chong..."
Meng Tao suddenly thought of something and pointed toward the classroom.
Lu Chong was currently alone with Liu laoshi in the classroom. Even if they were to seal their mouth, it would be for naught if Lu Chong revealed the matter.
"Lu Chong? That fellow is reluctant to even open his mouth! Do you think it is possible for him to babble to Liu laoshi?" Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes.
"That's true..." Meng Tao scratched his head awkwardly.
And just like they had guessed, Lu Chong didn't say anything.
At this moment, he was staring cautiously at Liu laoshi... The request that Liu laoshi raised had put him in a difficult position.
"Take off your clothes..." His teacher's voice sounded.
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Lu Chong was at a loss.
"The cultivation of Poison Body is extremely difficult. For that, the physical body enhancement technique that I taught you has to reach Major Accomplishment at minimum. You are still lacking in mastery, and I’ll have to give you a boost!"
Cultivating the Poison Body was an extremely difficult and dangerous matter. Otherwise, countless poison masters wouldn't have died in the midst of doing so.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing that his teacher was only getting him to strip for cultivation purposes, Lu Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
If Zhang Xuan were to know what the other party was thinking, he would definitely die of rage.
The students nowadays... Do they all mature that early?
Soon, Lu Chong took off his clothes and lay horizontally on a bench in the classroom.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and a few silver needles appeared on his palm.
With a slight movement, the silver needles immediately pierced into Lu Chong's acupoints. The pure Heaven's Path zhenqi started flowing through his body.
Lu Chong's talent was nothing short of ordinary. Given his current cultivation speed, it would take at least two days or so before he could reach Major Accomplishment for the simplified version of Heaven's Path Golden Body. After reinforcing his cultivation, around four days would have already passed.
Zhang Xuan had already boasted that he would grant Lu Chong the ability to exact vengeance within ten days. If Lu Chong were to spend so long a time on the Heaven's Path Golden Body, it would be difficult for him to form the Poison Body within the deadline.
Thus, in order to hasten the process, he intended to use his own zhenqi to drive the other party's and raise the other party’s cultivation.
If he were to do so for Zhao Ya and the others, they might grow reliant on him, and this kind of mindset could potentially limit their future accomplishments. However, Lu Chong was different.
He had kneeled at the entrance of the academy just so to come under the tutelage of a teacher. Furthermore, to prevent himself from revealing anything, he could even play off as a mute for two years... His mental fortitude was far beyond Zhang Xuan's other students.
More importantly, the method of forcefully raising one's cultivation would expose one in excruciating pain. Zhao Ya and the others, and this was including Yuan Tao as well, would be unable to endure such grievous pain.
Zhang Xuan flicked his five fingers, and silver needles danced around.
Surge after surge of zhenqi flowed through Lu Chong's body via his meridians, and the previously narrow meridians began to tear apart.
It was as though thousands of knives were lodged into his body, slicing his flesh simultaneously into innumerable pieces. It was fortunate that Lu Chong possessed a strong will. Otherwise, his mind could have broken down by now. "Endure it!"
The zhenqi in Zhang Xuan's body pumped furiously as he shot all of the silver needles in his hands out.
Zhang Xuan was well-versed in the pathways that one's zhenqi had to flow through for the cultivation of the Heaven's Path Golden Body. The silver needles seemed lodge into Lu Chong's body in a certain pathway, heading upward until it eventually reached the cap of his head.
Boom!
Under the guidance of Zhang Xuan's silver needles, zhenqi gushed into Lu Chong's head. In that instant, Lu Chong felt as if an explosion had occurred in his head, as though he had broken through a bottleneck.
"Pixue realm... I have actually reached Pixue realm?"
He instantly realized that he had broke through Dingli realm pinnacle, reaching Pixue realm.
"Don't move, it's not over yet!"
Feeling the agitated trembling of Lu Chong's body, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. With a flick of his hands, the medicinal herbs that Zhang Xuan obtained from the Physician Guild appeared in his hands. With a sudden burst of zhenqi, he reduced all of those medicinal herbs into powder.
Tzzzzzzz!
The powder melded together, and a reaction immediately occurred. Swiftly, it morphed into an extremely toxic substance.
With a grasping action, the silver needles across Lu Chong's body flew back and plunged into contact with the toxic powder. In an instant, the entire needle turned black.
Then, with another flick, these poison needles flew back into Lu Chong's body.
The lethal poison flowed through the silver needle and seeped into the Lu Chong's body. An excruciating pain several times greater than that of the previous one struck him. His face immediately paled, and unable to hold himself back, he yelled in agony.
Hu!
After striking all of the silver needles back onto the other party's body, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he kept the remaining medicinal powder back into his storage ring.
He was done conducting the first round of poison tempering. Whether the other party was able to pull through would depend on his mental fortitude.
If he failed to hold on, he would fall into death’s embrace!
But if he held on, he would be able to metamorphose from a cocoon into a butterfly, becoming one of the strongest experts in Tianwu Kingdom!

I reached Lore Martial Realm!”\nOn this day, this person progressed greatly in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute like Ji Yinyi.\n“It’s Song Wang!”\nAll people were started when they recognized him. It was a person, who was equally famous as Young Master Shenji in the Wing Prefecture.\nYoung Master Shenji had a Lore Martial Realm at the second level, while this person just reached it, and the disparity between should be great.\nBut, each person had his own strong points, and Song Wang was a Half Spirit, and inheritance blood was flowing in his veins.\nThe fusion of such two aspects let him because equal, or even stronger, than Young Master Shenji.\nHowever, he didn’t have an opportunity on this day in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute for displaying them, thus, he seemed quite low-profile in comparison to Young Master Shenji.\nHowever, his martial technique rose by a level now, and it was only due to Jiang Chen’s divine piece of art.\nHe came to Jiang Chen, and spoke sincerely, “Young Master Feng, I owe you a great favor, and if you are in need of any help, you can just ask me.”\n“You are welcome!” Jiang Chen laughed, and smacked his tongue, as he felt how powerful was the aura emanating from inside this person’s body.\nThe fusion of Half Spirit Body and inheritance blood was even more powerful than Ning Haotian’s Alien Beast.\n“Young Master Shenji, if you are still unconvinced, you can fight against me. Although Young Master Feng is still just a Spiritual Venerable for now, he still had boundless prospects.”\nSong Wang looked at Young Master Shenji, and spoke bluntly.\n“Snort, you can’t make even a single piece of art. I really feel ashamed of being one of Wing Prefecture’s top talent along with you.” Young Master Shenji was in a bad mood now, so he obviously didn’t utter any nice words after he heard the outer party’s provocation.\nSong Wang didn’t care about it, and it seemed like he already expected. He said, “We already fought in total four times, and each one of us won one time. So why don’t we have the last fight today?”\nWhen the crowd heard him, they became full of expectation for such a battle between two apex geniuses.\n“The Civil and Martial Arts Institute forbid anyone from fighting regardless of the reasons behind it,” Tian Ling said coldly.\nHer words warned the crowd, and the fighting intent in Song Wang’s eyes disappeared.\n“You will surely suffer a miserable defeat in the Title Battle,” when Young Master Shenji spoke, he looked at both of Jiang Chen and Song Wang, and it was unknown to which one he was talking.\n“Okay then, sirs.” Tian Ling wanted to settle such a dispute, and continue this night event of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.\nRumble! A deafening sound transmitted from the sky at this moment.\nThe people in the institute raised their heads, and saw the Jiang family’s war chariot troops coming back from the direction they left early this day.\n“Did they find the murderer?”\n“Since the Jiang family already undertook such a task, it’s needless to question it.”\n“I really wonder which person dared to kill even the Jiang family’s five elements disciple.”\nThe crowd already expected it, and they were also aware of the reason behind the Jiang family’s displacement on this day.\nThey assumed that they already found the murderer when they sighted upon the Jiang family’s troops once again.\nHowever, who would expect that the Jiang family’s war chariots didn’t fly past the city this time, and they instead separated into several groups, and flew to each of the city’s four sides.\nWhen the war chariots stopped, energy beam linked all of them, and they formed a giant net above the city’s sky.\n“Why did it seal off the whole city?”\n“Is, is the murderer in the city?\nThe people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, who assumed that the war chariots would just fly past them, were astonished.\nJiang Chen and Ji Yinyi looked at each other. They didn’t expect that the Jiang family would be this quick.\nHowever, Jiang Chen pushed that guy into the Forbidden Desolate Land in Beiwang City before many people’s gazes, and when he reached the Wing Prefecture, he fought openly in Starship chamber of commerce, and it wasn’t difficult to investigate it.\n“Jiang family’s friends, what’s going on?” All factions’ masters flew into the sky.\n“Our Jiang family’s disciple was killed, and the murderer is in the city. This is his portrait.”\nA voice transmitted from the war chariot in the middle. Such a voice was imposing and resonant, and it reverberated in all corners of the city.\n“It’s a Great Venerable!”\nThe crowd realized how infuriated was the Jiang family from the fact that it sent a Great Venerable.\nAll of the people in the city wanted to have a look at the murderer’s appearance, and know which person was this daring.\nHis portrait was shortly projected in the sky, and it was of a youthful face, which was vivid and lifelike, and its facial features could be seen clearly.\nAll of the people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute went into an uproar when they saw the murderer’s appearance, and many gazes filled with shock looked at Young Master Feng.\nYoung Master Feng was just chuckling bitterly now while shaking his head, and it was like he was unaware of the calamity looming over him.\n“Miss Tian Ling, it seems like I must take my leave early on,” Jiang Chen stood up, and spoke calmly.\n“The Jiang family’s Five Elements War Chariot already set an inescapable net, you can’t escape away.”\nTian Ling said, “Young Master Feng, are you sure that this isn’t just a misunderstanding?”\n“Miss Tian Ling, even if it was a misunderstanding, the outer party is still a Jiang family’s disciple, and it would e better for you to not meddle in this matter,” Young Master Shenji said.\n“Li Bai!”\nLi Bai’s elder brother shouted at the same time loudly, “You really dare to invite any person to our family.”\nLi Bai’s face turned pale, and he looked for the first time at Jiang Chen with a reproachful gaze. Since he kept event such a major matter from him, it was obvious that he wanted to harm him on purpose.\n“Jiang family’s senior, Jiang family’s senior, I know this person.”\nWhen the people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute started discussing it spiritedly, the person, who was kicked out of the Heaven Martial Arts Club due to Jiang Chen, flew into the sky hurriedly.\n“I know this person, and I also know where is he now.”\nHe spoke excitedly as if he just got an extremely rare chance, “He’s now in the Civil and Martial Arts Establishment, and I can assure you that it’s also the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.”\nThe people inside the institute witnessed him pointing at them.\nThe Civil and Martial Arts Institute was in a secluded district, while it was already nighttime, and the brightly lit institute became a conspicuous target.\n“Young Master Feng, I’m incapable of helping you in this matter,” Li Bai spoke helplessly before the Jiang family’s troops came here.\n“It’s me, who didn’t inform you how grave was this matter, and I really don’t blame you.”"

神机公子心里很不服气，可在他看到两人作品放在一起的时候，马上感觉到差距。
他不愿意相信这是真的。 一个灵尊比他强这么多。
要不是文武院名声在外，神机公子绝对会质疑作品是否真的代表个人武学。
其他眼界不够的人也不理解江辰的作品好在哪里，尽管看上去的确不简单。
“奥义武境，是奥义武学和武学大道完美融合。”
“风公子把风、火全都融入到剑中，金之大道辅佐，多而不杂，反而浑然天成。”
天灵没有去详细解释，因为她知道没有达到那个层次的人是不能理解她说的。
只要把江辰的字画拿到天才云集的地方，将会大放光彩。
她再次看向江辰，眼里流露出期望。
“今日文武院对我多有帮助，天灵姑娘不需要客气。” 江辰说道。
“嗯。”
天灵为他的善解人意感到欣喜，将他的两幅神作同时挂出来。
“哈哈哈哈哈。”
没过多久，又有人纵声大笑，笑声充满着惊喜。
“奥义武境！ 我达到奥义武境！”
这人和姬音怡一样，在今日的文武院取得惊人的进步。
“是宋望！”
当人们认出这人的时候，心里一惊，是在翼州和神机公子齐名的人物。
神机公子奥义武境达到第二重。 这人才刚做到，按理来说差距极大。
但是每个人都有自己的长处，宋望是半灵族，体内还流着传承之血。
这两样加起来，几乎不比神机公子弱多少，甚至还要强。
只是今日文武院没有机会让他展现这两样，故而和神机公子起来很低调。
直到现在，他武学再上一层楼。 这一切，都是因为江辰的神作。
他来到江辰身前，真诚道：“风公子，宋某欠你一个天大人情，有什么能需要帮忙的，尽管和我说。”
江辰笑了笑，感受着这个人体内的强大气息，暗暗咂舌。
半灵体和传承之血结合，比宁昊天的异兽还要强悍。
“神机公子，你如果不服气，可以找我较量，风公子虽然只是灵尊，但也前途无量。”
宋望又看着神机公子，很不客气道。
“哼，一幅拿不出手的作品都没有，真是不屑和你并称翼州一流。” 神机公子心情不佳，又听他主动挑衅，嘴里可没好话。
宋望也不在乎，像是早知道他会这样说，道：“我们总共经过四场战斗，各赢一场，要不今日比最后一场？”
闻言，众人都很期待两个顶尖天才的比试。
“文武院的规矩，不管任何原因，都不得动手。” 天灵冷冷道。
这话提醒到了人们，宋望眼里的战意也是消失。
“称号之战的时候，你会败得非常惨。” 神机公子说说这话时，分别看着宋望和江辰，也不知道是向谁说的。
天灵也要平息两人的争夺，继续今晚的文武院。
但在这时，白天那震耳欲聋的动静再次从天空传来。
院中的人抬起头来，就看见姜家的战车队伍又从今日去往的方向开来。
“找到凶手了吗？”
“姜家出手，自然不消说。”
“真不知道是什么样的人，竟然连姜家五行弟子都敢杀。”
人们已经有心理准备，也知道姜家出动目的。
再次看到姜家队伍，还以为他们找到凶手。
然而，谁也没想到的是，姜家的战车这次没有从城池上空而过，反而分成数股队，分别行驶城中四个方向。
等到战车停下来的时候，战车彼此间有能量光芒相连。
最后像是编着一张大网在整座城的上空。
难道凶手在城中？”
本以为战车会马上过去的文武院众人大吃一惊。
江辰和姬音怡相视一望，都没想到姜家动作会这样快。
不过江辰在北望城的时候，当着那么多人面把那家伙推进荒禁之地。 在抵达翼州的时候，又在星航商会大打出手，确实不难查出来。
“姜家的朋友，这是怎么回事啊？” 在空中各处，各方势力的主脑人物纷纷来到空中。
“我姜氏弟子被人谋害，凶手就在城中，这是他的画像。”
正中央那辆战车中，传出来一个声音。 声如洪钟，震响在全城每个角落。
“大尊者！”
姜家出动大尊者，让人们意识到姜家的怒火有多旺盛。
城中的人们都要看看凶手长什么样子，那样大胆。
画像很快在城中上空出现，那是一张年轻的脸庞，非常的逼真，五官很清楚。
文武院的人们在看到凶手相貌的时候，发出一片哗然之声。 一道道诧异的目光看向风公子！
这人像是不知道大祸临头，反而还无奈摇头苦笑。
“天灵姑娘，看来我要先走一步了。” 江辰站起身来，缓缓道。
“姜家五行战车布下天罗地网，你走不掉的。”
天灵说道：“风公子，这当中是不是有什么误会？”
“天灵姑娘，就算有误会，那也是姜家弟子，你还是不要趟这一趟浑水。” 神机公子说道。
“李白！”
同时，李白的大哥满脸怒容，大声喝道：“你真是什么人都敢往家里引啊！”
李白脸色苍白，看向江辰时候的眼神第一次有了责怪。 瞒着这样大的事情不说，这是存心害死人啊。
姜家的前辈，我知道这人！”
在文武院众人议论纷纷的时候，在那边，因为江辰原因被踢出天武馆的****急忙来到空中。
“我知道这人，我还知道他在哪！”
****仿佛逮千载难逢的机会，激动道：“他现在就在文武馆之内！ 我可以保证，文武院的地点就在那里！”
院子里面的人就看到这人指向这边。
文武院在偏僻的城区中，到了晚上一片黑暗，只有文武院灯火通明，形成鲜明目标。
“风公子，在这件事上，我实在帮不到你什么。” 李白在姜家的队伍到来前，无奈道。
“是我没有告诉你这样重要的事情，不怪你的。”

Young Master Shenji wasn’t willing to accept it, but as he looked at the two pieces of arts, which were next to each other, he immediately noticed the disparity between them.
It was a great disparity, but he was still not willing to believe that this was true, and that a Spiritual Venerable was better than him by this much.
If he wasn’t aware of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute’s reputation, he would even start suspecting whether a piece of art could really represent a person’s martial techniques level.
People, who didn’t have a discerning eye, couldn’t understand what was great about Jiang Chen’s work, even though they still noticed that it seemed extraordinary.
“Lore Martial Realm, it’s a perfect fusion of Lore martial techniques, and Great Doctrine of martial techniques.”
“Young Master Feng fused fire and wind completely with his sword, and with the assistance of Gold Great Doctrine, it became a work of the highest quality.”
Tian Ling didn’t explain it in detail, as she was aware that people, who didn’t reach such a realm, wouldn’t be capable of understanding her words.
As long she took Jiang Chen’s calligraphy piece and painting to a place filled with geniuses, they would surely get the limelight.
She looked once again at Jiang Chen with a gaze filled with expectation.
“Miss Tian Ling, the Civil and Martial Arts Institute was of great help to me today, so you don’t need to be reserved,” Jiang Chen said.
“Okay!”
Tian Ling felt gratified because he was so good at understanding people, and she took the two divine piece of arts.
“Hahahahaha!”
After a short while, a peal of loud and delightful laughter echoed.
“Lore Martial Realm! I reached Lore Martial Realm!”
On this day, this person progressed greatly in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute like Ji Yinyi.
“It’s Song Wang!”
All people were started when they recognized him. It was a person, who was equally famous as Young Master Shenji in the Wing Prefecture.
Young Master Shenji had a Lore Martial Realm at the second level, while this person just reached it, and the disparity between should be great.
But, each person had his own strong points, and Song Wang was a Half Spirit, and inheritance blood was flowing in his veins.
The fusion of such two aspects let him because equal, or even stronger, than Young Master Shenji.
However, he didn’t have an opportunity on this day in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute for displaying them, thus, he seemed quite low-profile in comparison to Young Master Shenji.
However, his martial technique rose by a level now, and it was only due to Jiang Chen’s divine piece of art.
He came to Jiang Chen, and spoke sincerely, “Young Master Feng, I owe you a great favor, and if you are in need of any help, you can just ask me.”
“You are welcome!” Jiang Chen laughed, and smacked his tongue, as he felt how powerful was the aura emanating from inside this person’s body.
The fusion of Half Spirit Body and inheritance blood was even more powerful than Ning Haotian’s Alien Beast.
“Young Master Shenji, if you are still unconvinced, you can fight against me. Although Young Master Feng is still just a Spiritual Venerable for now, he still had boundless prospects.”
Song Wang looked at Young Master Shenji, and spoke bluntly.
“Snort, you can’t make even a single piece of art. I really feel ashamed of being one of Wing Prefecture’s top talent along with you.” Young Master Shenji was in a bad mood now, so he obviously didn’t utter any nice words after he heard the outer party’s provocation.
Song Wang didn’t care about it, and it seemed like he already expected. He said, “We already fought in total four times, and each one of us won one time. So why don’t we have the last fight today?”
When the crowd heard him, they became full of expectation for such a battle between two apex geniuses.
“The Civil and Martial Arts Institute forbid anyone from fighting regardless of the reasons behind it,” Tian Ling said coldly.
Her words warned the crowd, and the fighting intent in Song Wang’s eyes disappeared.
“You will surely suffer a miserable defeat in the Title Battle,” when Young Master Shenji spoke, he looked at both of Jiang Chen and Song Wang, and it was unknown to which one he was talking.
“Okay then, sirs.” Tian Ling wanted to settle such a dispute, and continue this night event of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.
Rumble! A deafening sound transmitted from the sky at this moment.
The people in the institute raised their heads, and saw the Jiang family’s war chariot troops coming back from the direction they left early this day.
“Did they find the murderer?”
“Since the Jiang family already undertook such a task, it’s needless to question it.”
“I really wonder which person dared to kill even the Jiang family’s five elements disciple.”
The crowd already expected it, and they were also aware of the reason behind the Jiang family’s displacement on this day.
They assumed that they already found the murderer when they sighted upon the Jiang family’s troops once again.
However, who would expect that the Jiang family’s war chariots didn’t fly past the city this time, and they instead separated into several groups, and flew to each of the city’s four sides.
When the war chariots stopped, energy beam linked all of them, and they formed a giant net above the city’s sky.
“Why did it seal off the whole city?”
“Is, is the murderer in the city?
The people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, who assumed that the war chariots would just fly past them, were astonished.
Jiang Chen and Ji Yinyi looked at each other. They didn’t expect that the Jiang family would be this quick.
However, Jiang Chen pushed that guy into the Forbidden Desolate Land in Beiwang City before many people’s gazes, and when he reached the Wing Prefecture, he fought openly in Starship chamber of commerce, and it wasn’t difficult to investigate it.
“Jiang family’s friends, what’s going on?” All factions’ masters flew into the sky.
“Our Jiang family’s disciple was killed, and the murderer is in the city. This is his portrait.”
A voice transmitted from the war chariot in the middle. Such a voice was imposing and resonant, and it reverberated in all corners of the city.
“It’s a Great Venerable!”
The crowd realized how infuriated was the Jiang family from the fact that it sent a Great Venerable.
All of the people in the city wanted to have a look at the murderer’s appearance, and know which person was this daring.
His portrait was shortly projected in the sky, and it was of a youthful face, which was vivid and lifelike, and its facial features could be seen clearly.
All of the people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute went into an uproar when they saw the murderer’s appearance, and many gazes filled with shock looked at Young Master Feng.
Young Master Feng was just chuckling bitterly now while shaking his head, and it was like he was unaware of the calamity looming over him.
“Miss Tian Ling, it seems like I must take my leave early on,” Jiang Chen stood up, and spoke calmly.
“The Jiang family’s Five Elements War Chariot already set an inescapable net, you can’t escape away.”
Tian Ling said, “Young Master Feng, are you sure that this isn’t just a misunderstanding?”
“Miss Tian Ling, even if it was a misunderstanding, the outer party is still a Jiang family’s disciple, and it would e better for you to not meddle in this matter,” Young Master Shenji said.
“Li Bai!”
Li Bai’s elder brother shouted at the same time loudly, “You really dare to invite any person to our family.”
Li Bai’s face turned pale, and he looked for the first time at Jiang Chen with a reproachful gaze. Since he kept event such a major matter from him, it was obvious that he wanted to harm him on purpose.
“Jiang family’s senior, Jiang family’s senior, I know this person.”
When the people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute started discussing it spiritedly, the person, who was kicked out of the Heaven Martial Arts Club due to Jiang Chen, flew into the sky hurriedly.
“I know this person, and I also know where is he now.”
He spoke excitedly as if he just got an extremely rare chance, “He’s now in the Civil and Martial Arts Establishment, and I can assure you that it’s also the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.”
The people inside the institute witnessed him pointing at them.
The Civil and Martial Arts Institute was in a secluded district, while it was already nighttime, and the brightly lit institute became a conspicuous target.
“Young Master Feng, I’m incapable of helping you in this matter,” Li Bai spoke helplessly before the Jiang family’s troops came here.
“It’s me, who didn’t inform you how grave was this matter, and I really don’t blame you.”

"value": "Zheng Ling suggested compensating with immortal essence stones, though Tai Bai Yun Sheng rejected him, Fang Yuan pretended to think about it: “We want featherman slaves, but you are only offering immortal essence stones. This conflict cannot be resolved. How about this, let’s take a step back and decide with our strength.”\nTai Bai Yun Sheng’s attitude was firm, he showed the attitude of a battle maniac. During the conversation, he had been taunting them by saying ‘I can take you down at any time’ several times.\nIf Shark Demon and the others who were familiar with Tai Bai Yun Sheng were here, they would think that this Tai Bai Yun Sheng was an imposter.\nZhou Zhong and Zheng Ling exchanged glances.\nIt was hard to talk to the battle maniac Tai Bai Yun Sheng, but it seemed like the immortal zombie, Fang Yuan, was in charge of the decision making.\nThis was not strange to the featherman Gu Immortals, after all, Fang Yuan showed rank seven battle strength earlier.\nThe two communicated secretly, they both felt that: Fang Yuan was much easier to talk to than Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he was more reasonable.\n“The other party is an immortal zombie, his immortal aperture cannot produce immortal essence, that’s why he has a careful nature. We have to make use of this trait. But this blessed land belongs that that damned old man.”\n“This old man has quite a fiery temper at this age, it seems his battle strength cannot be underestimated, be vigilant!”\n“Forget it, the situation is in their favor now, let’s listen to what the immortal zombie has to suggest.”\nThe two featherman Gu Immortals analyzed this situation, it seemed to them that it was a reasonable understanding of it.\nZhou Zhong was unwilling, he shouted: “Be it winning or losing, you are benefiting from it!”\nFang Yuan smiled lightly and did not reply.\nTai Bai Yun Sheng started howling: “Why are you complaining? If you don’t want this, let’s fight! My fists are itching to hit something, I can take you down at any time! If you dare to destroy my immortal aperture, I will slaughter these mortal feathermen first, in the worst case, we go down together, who is afraid of who?”\nZhou Zhong and Zheng Ling ignored him completely, showing an expression of not wanting to stoop to his level of intelligence.\nThe two started to discuss their decisions using transmissions.\nFang Yuan pressured them at the right timing: “If you do not agree to this, we will have to battle.”\nThese words made the the hearts of these two feathermen immortals jump.\nThey understood clearly that in the current situation, sacrifice was unavoidable, the most logical decision was to minimize their losses.\nEventually, Zheng Ling nodded, agreeing to the duels. But he had a precondition, they had to use the information path immortal killer move that they had to form an agreement, similar to mountain pledge Gu, as the restriction on both parties.\nRegardless of the result, after ten duels, Fang Yuan’s side was not to cause problems for the feathermen, they had to open the door and let everyone else leave, without any form of obstruction.\nThe feathermen actually had such an information path killer move, their foundation was quite deep, Fang Yuan was fairly surprised.\nTo start things off, the Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong entered the stage for the first duel.\nOn Fang Yuan’s side, Tai Bai Yun Sheng went to battle, he was oozing with battle intent as he showed a bloodthirsty expression, he shouted: “Come, I will take you down in just a moment!”\nZhou Zhong really was fooled by his demeanor, after all, he was only a variant human, their intelligence was inferior to humans.\nMost importantly, Zhou Zhong had his reservations, he did not want to sacrifice his clansmen.\nHe did not want any feathermen to lose their freedom and become the slaves of humans. Thus, he chose his specialty for the duel.\n“What, you want to compete in flying speed alone?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked.\n“According to the agreement, we are the first to decide what type of duel it is, are you going back on your words?”\n“Hmph, I will let you decide this time!” Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed an upset and irritated expression.\nThe result of this duel was obvious.\nTai Bai Yun Sheng only had a mortal killer move for flying. The other party not only had wings, they even had an immortal killer move specially used for movement.\nAfter seeing the results, the feathermen on the ground erupted into loud cheers.\nAfter all, their freedom was at stake, they could have became slaves, they were very nervous when they watched the duel.\nIn the first duel, Fang Yuan lost.\nFang Yuan went for the second duel, because he had rank seven battle strength, the featherman Gu Immortals did not dare to be careless, they sent the stronger Gu Immortal Zheng Ling to duel him.\nFang Yuan suggested: “We will compete using speed.”\nZheng Ling’s expression froze for a second before he agreed.\nFang Yuan lost this duel very quickly as well.\nZheng Ling also had an immortal killer move, his speed was twice as fast as that of Zhou Zhong.\nMeanwhile, Fang Yuan had three pairs of true solid bat wings, they were all desolate beast wings. But in this duel, he did not manage to activate the iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu at all, thus he had no hopes of winning.\nDuels after duels, Fang Yuan’s side had no victories, while the featherman Gu Immortals were winning with zero losses, the results were one-sided.\nFang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s expression became uglier in the process.\nFor example, the immortal zombie Fang Yuan was only rank seven in terms of attack. He only had mortal killer moves for defense, along with his immortal zombie body’s defense. In terms of healing, he only had the basic recovery ability of an immortal zombie. As for movement and investigative methods, he did not have immortal killer moves.\nMeanwhile, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was very rash and haughty, but in terms of battle strength, he was a mess. He only used mortal killer moves.\nThe two featherman Gu Immortals felt like they had been scammed!\n“It turns out that these two are so weak, if we had known this, we would’ve fought from the start.”\n“Sigh, humans are the most skilled at scheming. We have already used the information path immortal killer move and restricted ourselves, we can only leave this place and cannot attack.”\n“Thinking about it, we were too stunned by the earlier human Gu Immortal invaders. Due to the foundation of our Sacred Feather City, we are superior to most human Gu Immortals. The two of them are quite impressive, but they are not our match at all.”\nLike this, the two featherman Gu Immortals won nine rounds, only the last duel was left.\nNo matter what happened in this duel, after it ended, Fang Yuan’s side would not be able to obstruct the feathermen due to the agreement, he had to let them leave.\nOn the ground, cheers of victory were already resounding.\nThe new featherman king, Yu Fei, had a better expression now. His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the two Gu Immortals of the featherman clan, he had another grand ambition now.\n“I’ve decided! As long as I become a Gu Immortal, I would become a true man. I must become a Gu Immortal, even if I need to give up being king, I will become a Gu Immortal!!”\nFang Yuan took a step forward as his voice turned very cold: “This is the final duel, all four of us will fight in a battle of attack and defense.

这矛盾不可调和。 不如这样，大家各退一步，用实力说话。” 太白云生一直态度强硬，表现出一副战斗狂人的样子。
谈话之间，已经叫嚣了“好多次分分钟收拾你们”的口号。
若是熟知太白云生为人性情的鲨魔等人在此，一定会觉得这个太白云生恐怕是别人假冒的吧。
郑灵、周中对视一眼。
战斗狂人太白云生非常不好说话，但看起来反而是仙僵身份的方源，占据主导地位。
两人暗中传音，相互商量，都觉得：方源比太白云生要好说话多了，并且更加理智。
“对方是仙僵，仙窍已经不能自产仙元，更小心翼翼。
他的这种心理我们要利用。 但似乎这片福地，是那个该死的老头子的。”
“这老头子年纪不小，脾气挺冲。 看样子战力也不可小觑，要当心！”
“也罢了，如今形势比人强，听听这头仙僵有什么建议。”
他们俩却浑然不知，已经走进了方源的精心布置的陷坑。
周中当即不愿，叫嚷起来：“不管胜败，左右你们都占便宜啊！”
方源淡淡微笑，却不回应。
你们敢对付我的仙窍，我就首先屠杀这些凡人羽民。 大不了一拍两散，谁怕谁啊？”
一副鲁莽好战的夯货样儿。 周中、郑灵充耳不闻，一副不想和你老人家见识的神色。
他们俩又开始暗中传音，进行商议。
方源适时施压道：“如果这个条件再不答应，那我们就只有开战了。”
这话让羽民二仙心中都咯噔一下。
眼下的局势，他们二人其实早就清楚，牺牲是不可避免的。 当下最明智的应对，就是尽量缩减损失。
最终，郑灵点头，答应了赌斗。 不过也有前提，那就是动用他们掌握的信道仙级杀招，相当于山盟蛊的作用，订下协议，作为双方的约束。
不管结果如何，十场赌斗之后，方源一方就不得再为难羽民一方，怎么样也得开放门户，让他们剩余的所有人都安然离开，并且不能有任何形式的阻拦。
羽民一方居然有这样的信道杀招，底蕴深厚着实有点出乎方源的意料。
首先是蛊仙周中下场，进行第一场赌斗。
方源这边，则遣太白云生应战，后者战意昂扬，一脸兴奋嗜血之色，张口咆哮：“来吧，老夫分分钟收拾你！”
周中还真被这架势唬住了，到底还是异人，灵性不及人族。
最关键的，还是周中心有顾虑，一点都不想牺牲自己的族人。
他不愿任何一位羽民，失去自由，成为人族的奴隶。
“什么，你只要比拼飞行速度？” 太白云生诧异。
“按照商定的内容，由我方首先规定赌斗什么，难道你想抵赖不成？”
“哼，这次就依你！” 太白云生十分气闷的样子。
这一场的赌斗，毫无悬念。
太白云生只有凡道杀招，用来飞行。 但对方不仅天生双翼，而且还有专注移动方面的仙道杀招。
亲眼目睹这样的结果，地面的羽民们响起一片热烈的欢呼声。
毕竟事关他们的命运，是自由，还是被奴役，他们当然极为紧张每一场赌斗的结果。
第一场赌斗，方源一方负败。
鉴于方源是七转战力，羽民一方的两位蛊仙不敢托大，当即由更强的蛊仙郑灵应战。
方源主动提出：“我们也比速度。”
郑灵脸色微滞，旋即点头应下。
这场赌斗，方源很快也败了下来。
郑灵同样有仙道杀招，速度之快，还要超越周中一倍左右。
而方源有三对返实蝠翼，俱是荒兽翅膀。 但此次赌斗，却没有激发出铁冠鹰力仙蛊，导致一点获胜的希望都没有。
一场场的赌斗，方源一方连败无胜，羽民两位蛊仙则连胜无败，比试结果一边倒。
而太白云生口中叫嚣，十分张狂。
实际上作战能力，惨不忍睹。
都是用的凡道杀招。
两位羽民蛊仙，感觉上当受骗了！
“原来这两人如此不济，早知如此，我们直接开战就是了。”
“唉，人族向来最擅算计。 我们已经动用了信道仙级杀招，约束了手脚，只能离开这里，再不能进攻。”
“想想看，我们也是被之前的那波人族蛊仙入侵者吓到了。 依照我们羽圣城的底蕴，足够胜过大部分的人族蛊仙。
就这般，两位羽民蛊仙连胜九场，只剩下最后一场赌斗。
这场赌斗不管结果如何，结束之后，方源一方碍于协约，就再不能阻拦这些羽民，只能放任他们安然离开。
地面上，已经提前响起胜利的欢呼声。
新一代的羽民王羽飞，脸上神情也好转了许多。 他双目放光，仰望着羽民一族的两位蛊仙，心中又浮现出另外一个宏大的目标。
只有成为蛊仙，才算得上真正的男儿风采啊。 我一定要成为蛊仙，哪怕羽民王不做，也要成为蛊仙！ ！”
方源向前一跨步，声音陡然变得十分冰冷：“这最后一场赌斗，我们四个都下场，咱们就来一场攻防战。 我攻你防，然后你攻我防。
郑灵、周中对视一眼，均皱起眉头，意识到不妙。
但郑灵、周中碍于协约，又不能直接反对这样的赌斗，只能应战。
“如此一来，这是十场赌斗中最为艰难的一场了。”
“这是最后一场。 赢了之后，我们就能保住所有的羽民，安然离去！”
两位羽民蛊仙相互传音一番，点头应战。
“请阁下出招。” 郑灵也跨前一步，道。
方源不再说话，距离郑灵上千步远，朝着对方伸手一握。
轰隆！
一只力道大手印，破空而出，狠狠地握向郑灵。
郑灵强按下躲闪之意，咬牙撑起防御杀招，身边亮起一层虚光甲胄。
甲胄栩栩如生，抵住力道大手印。
方源面色不变，这虚光甲胄早在第四场赌斗时，他就见识过了，这是光道的仙级防护手段。
“挡住了！” 周中高兴地叫道，“下面该我们出手了！”
方源嗤之以鼻地冷笑：“阁下这么快就下结论，似乎有点早了吧？ 我的攻势并非是爆发力，而是持久力。 我的攻势还未结束呢。”
郑灵沉声道。 之前赌斗时，方源也出手过，郑灵觉得这万我大手印完全可以防住。
但当下一刻，方源咧嘴露出狞笑时，郑灵陡然变色。
这样下去，郑灵大人会被直接捏成肉渣的。” 周中大惊失色。
“郑灵，你考虑好了。 我的大手只有攻击威能，却不能限制你的行动。
两个仙道杀招叠加在一起，挡住力道巨手。
如此一来，双方便陷入僵持阶段。
“也好，谅他区区一头六转仙僵，打持久战，怎么比得上郑灵大人呢？”
但片刻之后，方源仍旧有着充沛余力，反而郑灵神情越加焦急，隐隐有坚持不住的情形。
想到了缘由，周中心中的窝火和郁闷，实在难以形容。
同时他又有许多慌乱：“这下该如何是好？ 我若出手想帮，也只能用治疗手段。
否则就是违反赌斗规矩，所有的赌斗都不算数了！” 明明身在此处，近在咫尺，周中却觉得束手无策。
有时候，你过往的成就，反而是阻碍你取得更高成就的阻碍！
赢一场，就能全胜！
将所有羽民都拯救，带他们安全撤走！
还差一场，就一场。 若是违反了赌斗规矩，就全都不算数了。
这些心理，让郑灵选择硬抗，让周中紧张出汗，却始终袖手旁观。
“结束了。” 方源陡然大笑，飞出另外七只力道大手。
力道大手以碾压之势，砸向地面上的羽民。
“你干什么？ ！”
周中一愣，看向方源的目光发生了彻底的转变：“仙僵不是思维僵化的么？ 怎么眼前这头如此阴险！”
趁着他愣神之际，方源直接欺进郑灵，张口一喷。
仙道杀招——毒气喷吐！
这是以妇人心仙蛊为核心，源自于包藏祸心杀招的改良。 方源自获得以来，就一直雪藏很久，如今才是首次运用。
郑灵猝不及防，被这一喷，顿时中毒。
他当然有解毒的手段，但此时此刻，他的主要注意力都被牵扯，反应慢了一拍。 真正要解毒时，已经中毒很深了。
生死之分，往往就在这一线之间。
“卑鄙……”郑灵死死地瞪着方源，这是他最后的遗言。
轰的一声，下一刻他再也支撑不住，被力道巨手碾碎成一团血肉糜渣。
“郑灵大人！ ！
周中惊怒咆哮。 一切都发生的太快，周中现在反应过来，也来不及了。 他可没有人如故这样的仙蛊。
方源又飞出力道巨手，攻向周中。
“你可不能动手防御，也不能进攻和躲闪。 你可别忘了，按照这场赌斗的规矩，你只能施展治疗手段。”
周中听了这话，眼珠子都要瞪掉地上，气得差点要喷血！ 这还怎么打？
！
他要还手，或者躲避，或者防御，都是违反规矩，一切赌斗都算作无效！
他这一方，负责攻防的郑灵已经死了，他只能施展治疗手段。
但力道大手一抓，肯定当场将他杀死。 怎么有治疗手段，也没有用武之地啊。
就算方源一下子杀不死他，他可以治疗自己恢复，但他又不能还手，还手就是违反规矩。
太欺负羽民了！ ！
这一刻，看到周中呆傻模样，就连太白云生心中都生出了一丝同情和不忍。

Zheng Ling suggested compensating with immortal essence stones, though Tai Bai Yun Sheng rejected him, Fang Yuan pretended to think about it: “We want featherman slaves, but you are only offering immortal essence stones. This conflict cannot be resolved. How about this, let’s take a step back and decide with our strength.”
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s attitude was firm, he showed the attitude of a battle maniac. During the conversation, he had been taunting them by saying ‘I can take you down at any time’ several times.
If Shark Demon and the others who were familiar with Tai Bai Yun Sheng were here, they would think that this Tai Bai Yun Sheng was an imposter.
Zhou Zhong and Zheng Ling exchanged glances.
It was hard to talk to the battle maniac Tai Bai Yun Sheng, but it seemed like the immortal zombie, Fang Yuan, was in charge of the decision making.
This was not strange to the featherman Gu Immortals, after all, Fang Yuan showed rank seven battle strength earlier.
The two communicated secretly, they both felt that: Fang Yuan was much easier to talk to than Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he was more reasonable.
“The other party is an immortal zombie, his immortal aperture cannot produce immortal essence, that’s why he has a careful nature. We have to make use of this trait. But this blessed land belongs that that damned old man.”
“This old man has quite a fiery temper at this age, it seems his battle strength cannot be underestimated, be vigilant!”
“Forget it, the situation is in their favor now, let’s listen to what the immortal zombie has to suggest.”
The two featherman Gu Immortals analyzed this situation, it seemed to them that it was a reasonable understanding of it.
Zhou Zhong was unwilling, he shouted: “Be it winning or losing, you are benefiting from it!”
Fang Yuan smiled lightly and did not reply.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng started howling: “Why are you complaining? If you don’t want this, let’s fight! My fists are itching to hit something, I can take you down at any time! If you dare to destroy my immortal aperture, I will slaughter these mortal feathermen first, in the worst case, we go down together, who is afraid of who?”
Zhou Zhong and Zheng Ling ignored him completely, showing an expression of not wanting to stoop to his level of intelligence.
The two started to discuss their decisions using transmissions.
Fang Yuan pressured them at the right timing: “If you do not agree to this, we will have to battle.”
These words made the the hearts of these two feathermen immortals jump.
They understood clearly that in the current situation, sacrifice was unavoidable, the most logical decision was to minimize their losses.
Eventually, Zheng Ling nodded, agreeing to the duels. But he had a precondition, they had to use the information path immortal killer move that they had to form an agreement, similar to mountain pledge Gu, as the restriction on both parties.
Regardless of the result, after ten duels, Fang Yuan’s side was not to cause problems for the feathermen, they had to open the door and let everyone else leave, without any form of obstruction.
The feathermen actually had such an information path killer move, their foundation was quite deep, Fang Yuan was fairly surprised.
To start things off, the Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong entered the stage for the first duel.
On Fang Yuan’s side, Tai Bai Yun Sheng went to battle, he was oozing with battle intent as he showed a bloodthirsty expression, he shouted: “Come, I will take you down in just a moment!”
Zhou Zhong really was fooled by his demeanor, after all, he was only a variant human, their intelligence was inferior to humans.
Most importantly, Zhou Zhong had his reservations, he did not want to sacrifice his clansmen.
He did not want any feathermen to lose their freedom and become the slaves of humans. Thus, he chose his specialty for the duel.
“What, you want to compete in flying speed alone?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked.
“According to the agreement, we are the first to decide what type of duel it is, are you going back on your words?”
“Hmph, I will let you decide this time!” Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed an upset and irritated expression.
The result of this duel was obvious.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng only had a mortal killer move for flying. The other party not only had wings, they even had an immortal killer move specially used for movement.
After seeing the results, the feathermen on the ground erupted into loud cheers.
After all, their freedom was at stake, they could have became slaves, they were very nervous when they watched the duel.
In the first duel, Fang Yuan lost.
Fang Yuan went for the second duel, because he had rank seven battle strength, the featherman Gu Immortals did not dare to be careless, they sent the stronger Gu Immortal Zheng Ling to duel him.
Fang Yuan suggested: “We will compete using speed.”
Zheng Ling’s expression froze for a second before he agreed.
Fang Yuan lost this duel very quickly as well.
Zheng Ling also had an immortal killer move, his speed was twice as fast as that of Zhou Zhong.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had three pairs of true solid bat wings, they were all desolate beast wings. But in this duel, he did not manage to activate the iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu at all, thus he had no hopes of winning.
Duels after duels, Fang Yuan’s side had no victories, while the featherman Gu Immortals were winning with zero losses, the results were one-sided.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s expression became uglier in the process.
For example, the immortal zombie Fang Yuan was only rank seven in terms of attack. He only had mortal killer moves for defense, along with his immortal zombie body’s defense. In terms of healing, he only had the basic recovery ability of an immortal zombie. As for movement and investigative methods, he did not have immortal killer moves.
Meanwhile, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was very rash and haughty, but in terms of battle strength, he was a mess. He only used mortal killer moves.
The two featherman Gu Immortals felt like they had been scammed!
“It turns out that these two are so weak, if we had known this, we would’ve fought from the start.”
“Sigh, humans are the most skilled at scheming. We have already used the information path immortal killer move and restricted ourselves, we can only leave this place and cannot attack.”
“Thinking about it, we were too stunned by the earlier human Gu Immortal invaders. Due to the foundation of our Sacred Feather City, we are superior to most human Gu Immortals. The two of them are quite impressive, but they are not our match at all.”
Like this, the two featherman Gu Immortals won nine rounds, only the last duel was left.
No matter what happened in this duel, after it ended, Fang Yuan’s side would not be able to obstruct the feathermen due to the agreement, he had to let them leave.
On the ground, cheers of victory were already resounding.
The new featherman king, Yu Fei, had a better expression now. His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the two Gu Immortals of the featherman clan, he had another grand ambition now.
“I’ve decided! As long as I become a Gu Immortal, I would become a true man. I must become a Gu Immortal, even if I need to give up being king, I will become a Gu Immortal!!”
Fang Yuan took a step forward as his voice turned very cold: “This is the final duel, all four of us will fight in a battle of attack and defense. I will attack and you will defend for the first round, and you will attack while I defend for the following round. Our partner can only use healing methods, when one side is unable to continue, they will lose.”
Zhou Zhong and Zheng Ling exchanged glances, they frowned as they realized something amiss.
Fang Yuan was making the dueling rules to complete display their advantage. Meanwhile, Zheng Ling and Zhou Zhong could not object to this duel request, they could only accept it.
“In this case, the tenth duel is the hardest one of all.”
“This is the final round, after we win, we will be able to protect all of the feathermen and leave safely!”
The two Gu Immortal conversed mentally as they went forth to battle.
“Sir, please attack.” Zheng Ling took a step forward, saying.
Fang Yuan did not speak, he was a thousand steps away from Zheng Ling, he grabbed towards the other party.
Rumble!
A strength path giant hand tore through space and grabbed at Zheng Ling fiercely.
Zheng Ling suppressed his instinct to dodge, he activated his defensive killer move as a suit of armor made of light appeared on his body.
The armor looked very real, it blocked the strength path giant hand.
Fang Yuan’s expression did not change, he had already seen this armor made of light in the fourth duel, it was a light path defensive immortal killer move.
“Blocked!” Zhou Zhong shouted happily: “It is time for us to strike!”
Fang Yuan scoffed: “Sir, are you forming a conclusion so quickly? My attack is not an instantaneous type, but a sustained attack, I have not ended my attack yet.”
“It is okay, sir can continue attacking.” Zheng Ling said in a low voice. In the duels earlier, Fang Yuan had attacked as well, Zheng Ling felt that he could block myriad self giant hand completely.
But at the next moment, Fang Yuan showed a ruthless smile as Zheng Ling’s expression changed.
“Oh no, at this rate, Lord Zheng Ling will become meat paste.” Zhou Zhong was shocked.
“Zheng Ling, consider it well, my giant hand is only an attack, it cannot restrict your movement. But if you break out of it now, you will be breaking our agreement. In that case, you will be violating our earlier agreement, and the duels will be voided.” Fang Yuan scoffed.
Two immortal killer moves stacked together, blocking the strength path giant hand.
At this point, both parties fell into a deadlock again.
“Indeed, he is just a rank six immortal zombie, how can he fight a drawn out battle with Lord Zheng Ling?” Zhou Zhong calmed down.
But a moment later, Fang Yuan was still full of vigor, while Zheng Ling was starting to get anxious, he was unable to hold on.
Realizing the reason, Zhou Zhong felt an immense anger and melancholy, it was hard to describe with words.
At the same time, he started to fluster: “What shall we do now? If I want to help him, I can only use healing methods, otherwise, we would be violating the duel agreement, and the earlier duels would be voided!”
He was there physically, but he felt like he was miles away, Zhou Zhong was helpless. The trap that Fang Yuan had created painstakingly was taking effect.
At times, your former achievements would be the greatest obstacle for you to achieve greater success!
If they won this round, they would obtain complete victory!
They would save all of the feathermen and bring them to safety!
They were one duel away, just one duel. If they violated the rules, all of it would be nullified.
This mentality made Zheng Ling choose to continue holding on, and Zhou Zhong was full of sweat and worried, but he could not interfere.
“It is over.” Fang Yuan laughed loudly, seven other strength path giant hands flew out.
The strength path giant hands slammed at the feathermen on the ground with overwhelming force.
“What are you doing?!” Zhou Zhong howled, he was like a furious dragon whose scales were plucked.
Zhou Zhong was stunned, his gaze towards Fang Yuan changed: “Aren’t immortal zombie slow in cognition? Why is this guy so scheming!”
While he was stunned, Fang Yuan approached Zheng Ling and spat at him.
Immortal killer move — Poison Spit!
This was a modified immortal killer move that originated from harboring malicious heart, using woman’s heart Immortal Gu as the core. Since Fang Yuan had obtained it, he had been keeping it secret, this was the first time he was using it.
Zheng Ling was caught off guard, he was poisoned by this immediately.
He had a method to heal himself, of course, but at this moment, his mind was distracted and he reacted a moment more slowly, by the time he was going to detoxify himself, the poison was already very deep.
The moment of life and death was often decided in an instant.
“Unscrupulous…” Zheng Ling stared at Fang Yuan fixedly, this was his last word.
With a loud thud, he lost control and was squashed into meat paste by the strength path giant hands.
“Lord Zheng Ling!!!” Zhou Zhong screamed in fury.
Everything happened too quickly, by the time Zhou Zhong reacted, it was too late. He did not have an Immortal Gu like Man as Before.
Fang Yuan attacked Zhou Zhong with his other strength path giant hands.
“You cannot defend, attack or dodge. Don’t forget, according to this duel’s rules, you can only use healing methods.” Fang Yuan shouted.
Zhou Zhong heard this and his eyes almost popped out, he was going to spit out blood from anger!
How would he fight like that?!
He would have to retaliate, dodge, or defend himself, but all those violated the rules, it would nullify all of their past wins!
On his side, the one in charge of attacking and defending, Zheng Ling, was dead, he could only use healing methods now.
But once the strength path giant hands grabbed him, he would be killed on the spot, no healing techniques were going to save him.
Even if Fang Yuan could not kill him and he could heal himself, he could not retaliate, that was against the rules, Fang Yuan was assured to win!
This was truly bullying the feathermen!!
At this moment, looking at Zhou Zhong’s dazed expression, even Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed a look of pity and sympathy.

The person normally wears a white robe, and is dressed from head to toe like a Taoist.\"\nLiu Yang's face turned dark immediately and his face turned green. He gritted his teeth.\nTang Ze continued, \"Some one saw him take in the son of the Marquis of Xuanji as a disciple. On that day, some stateless people from the Blizzard Land kidnapped his son and brought him here. The Marquis of Xuanji sent his men here in pursuit but they were completely wiped out.\"\n\"After a few months, the second manager of the Xuanji Household, Tao Er, was killed in the southern mountainous regions of Great Qin by the Taoist Lin.\" Tang Ze gave Liu Yang a look. \"On that day, all who entered the Black Cloud Earth Palace were killed and used to clog up the Unholy Blood River. Only you remained unfound.\"\n\"I fell for the little bastard's trick. I wasn't careful for a moment, and hence I ended up here.\"\n\"Little bastard?\" Hearing the derogatory tone Liu Yang adopted when speaking about Lin Feng, his heart stopped. \"Perhaps this fool really know some secrets,\" thought Tang Ze.\nHere, Tang Ze said smilingly. \"Regardless, I'll take you out of here.\"\nLiu Yang arched his eyebrows. \"Your Mantra of the Blood Demon may be an offshoot of the True Spell of the Blood River, but it may not be possible for you to control the Blood River Primordial Water right?\"\nTang Ze nodded his head, and said while smiling, \"Thus, I would require your Nine Blood River Banners. To be frank, I have to thank you for getting rid of my annoying disciple. Without his incessant chatter, the world is quieter.\"\nLiu Yang humphed, and he watched Tang Ze prepare the incantation to retrieve his Nine Blood River Banners.\n\"Rise!\" From the tips of Tang Ze's fingers emerged nine dark coloured blood droplets, which entered the respective blood river banners.\nThe Nine Blood River Banners changed shape and spread wide to form a new formation. Miraculously, the managed to stop the Blood River Primordial Water.\n\"While I don't practice the orthodox True Spell of the Blood River, this here is nothing more than a small tributary of the Unholy Blood River.\" Tang Ze shook his head with regrets. \"However, to replace you, I can't bring back the Nine Blood River Banners.\"\nLiu Yang looked at him sideways. \"You would care whether the blood river floods and rushes to the surface?\"\nTang Ze shrugged his shoulders. \"I don't care about other places, but here is too near to the capital of the Great Zhou Empire. Saving you won't raise so much commotion.\"\n\"However, to allow the blood river to flow out, two particular person in Tianjing would want me dead. Between the two of them, they can kill me easily. Actually, they don't even need to use their skills. There are so many people who could kill me there.\"\nLiu Yang sighed, and he merged his body with his sword to form a single ray of sword light. He charged up and out of the Unholy Blood River.\nAfter being trapped under the blood river for almost a year, Liu Yang did not look well. His temperament was erratic. What made him more depressed was the fact that his Divine Sword, which was used to resist the corrosive powers of the blood river, had been tainted by blood. He can't imagine the amount of effort it would require to clean it.\nTang Ze smiled, \"It has been corrupted by the Blood River Primordial Water. Even if you head back to Mount Shu it would be hard to clean\"\nLiu Yang suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely.\nTang Ze did not care so much. His face was filled with a mischievous smile. \"Since I was entrusted with bringing you out, I have already prepared myself for your sorry state after a year's imprisonment in the blood river.\"\n\"I have prepared items to help you clean off the dirty blood, follow me.\"\nLiu Yang's eyes shone. \"Only one of the Six Great Primordial Water can completely cleanse one off the pollutants of the Blood River Primordial Water, the mother of all water which could transcend all creation, and that's the One Heavenly Primordial Water. You have it?\"\nTang Ze spoke as he walked, \"Nope, but the person who entrusted me with saving you has it. Follow me.\"\nLiu Yang's eyes turned to slits and he said nothing. Unhesitatingly, he followed behind Tang Ze.\nThe two of them flew westward for thousands of li before descending into a quiet little valley. Tang Ze led the way with Liu Yang following close behind. The two of them walked into the valley.\n\"It appears as if you could not respect the Taoist Lin?\" Tang Ze unknowingly swept Liu Yang with his gaze. \"Other than you, an elder from the Intense Flaming Sword Sect, a member of the Yu Family, the second manager of the Xuanji Household Tao Er and a disciple from the Great Thunderclap Temple, Hui Kong, had all lost to him. All of them were in their Aurous Core stage.\"\n\"Tao Er and the member of the Yu Family died horrible deaths.\"\nLiu Yang was stunned, and he said, \"That's impossible! A Qi Disciple Level 10 bastard couldn't have defeated so many Aurous Core Stage cultivator?\"\nTang Ze's eyes sparkled, \"Qi Disciple Level 10? Are you sure?\"\n\"Of course!\" Liu Yang said unhesitatingly. \"Had I not fallen for his trick earlier and got trapped by the Unholy Blood River, I wouldn't even need my little finger to destroy him; a single breath would do.\"\nHe looked at Tang Ze sideways, \"Those people, did they fall for his trick?\"\nTang Ze shook his head, \"No, they were all killed in full view of everyone in a face-to-face fight.\" He paused, then added, \"Tao Er, the Yu Family household member and Hui Kong the disciple of the Great Thunderclap Temple were killed by him in a three-versus-one fight. In the end, two of them were killed on the spot and one of them was captured alive.\"\nAfter listening to Tang Ze's recount, Liu Yang breathed a sigh of obvious relief, and said, \"It's a puppet. It's obviously an extremely powerful puppet. The little bastard got lucky. I don't know how did he cultivate the puppet, but he used it to defeat the three Aurous Core stage cultivators.\"\n\"Without the puppet, he's nothing.\" Liu Yang said solemnly. \"I'm sure that the bastard's mastery in the earth palace was only at Level 10. Even if he did manage to improve tremendously in the past one year, he should still be in the Foundation Establishment stage, not even at the Spiritual Altar stage.\"\nTang Ze nodded his head lightly, as he agreed with Liu Yang's analysis on Lin Feng's rapid improvement in mastery.\nAchieving Foundation Establishment from Qi Disciple Level 10 would require unparalleled genius.\nOf course, the precondition was that Lin Feng must be like what Liu Yang had said, possessing only Qi Disciple Level 10 a year ago.\nLiu Yang nodded his head. \"I can't be wrong. He must possess some secret spell to mask his mastery level from external scrutiny. However, once we force his hand, his true powers will be made known.\"\nAt this point, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the mountain valley.\n\"If that's the case, then things will be easier.\"\nLiu Yang and Tang Ze jumped into the valley. Between the mountain creeks stood a youth in white who was smiling at them.\n\"Oh, it's you Chen Gang,\" Liu Yang said, surprised. \"So what? Does your Great Void Sect have beef with him too?\"\nChen Gang, the disciple of the Great Void Sect, smiled lightly. \"He's just a jumpy little clown. Too bad he liked to bounce around a little too much. He disrupted Senior Pang's carefully laid out plans. Hence, I'm following Senior Pang's instructions to get rid of him.\"\nChen Gang looked at Liu Yang, \"I've long suspected this person's cultivation. After hearing your words, my heart is clearer.\"\n\"I have a way to defeat his puppet,\" Chen Gang said slowly. \"However, earlier on when he was in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions, he used a never-seen-before spell formation to kill an army of 3000 Divine Martial Army soldiers led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator. He took their Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation and won.\"\nLiu Yang and Tang Ze looked at each other in shock.\nThe three of them together could not even match an Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation formed by 3000 cultivator soldiers and led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator.\"\nLiu Yang said unbelievingly, \"How could this be possible?\"\n\"This had already happened, so there's nothing impossible about it. I witnessed it myself.\" Chen Gang said. \"The problem is, that time, the Taoist Lin did not personally attack them.\"\n\"Thus, my guess is, the crux of it lies with his formation map. His power may not be high, but he possessed some powerful object.\" As Chen Gang spoke, he made an incantation with his hands. \"If it's indeed a puppet, I'm not worried. But for the spell formation, I need to seek help from my senior.\"\nChen Gang waved his hand and the water from the creek jumped up to form a round circle. It hovered in the air; it was about as high as a person.\nThe light at the centre of the circle turned white as water droplets vibrated non stop. After a while it calmed, a reflection of a young man can be seen.\nThe young man's face was clear, bright and handsome. He wore a white robe and his body appeared as light as air without any hint of edginess, like a gust of clear breeze or a drop of clear stream water. Only his eyes, akin to twinkling stars in the night sky, sparkled brightly; his gaze appeared to penetrate deep into one's soul.\nChen Gang bowed and said, \"Chen Gang respectfully offers his respects to Senior Pang.\"\nLiu Yang and Tang Ze's heart missed a beat, \"This is the current All-Under-Heaven Strider of the Great Void Sect, Pang Jie?\"\n\"The three All-Under-Heaven Strider before him were all female. Previously, it was a running joke in Mount Shu that the Great Void Sect is strong in yin but weak in yang.\" Liu Yang thought. \"Finally, they produced a male All-Under-Heaven Strider?\"\n\"Heaven, Earth and Man; they come in three. In the cycles of yin and yang, it will change every three cycles, fulfilling the will of Heaven. How is this strange?\"\nAs Liu Yang gloated privately, a plain voice sounded in his heart.\nThe voice originated from Liu Yang's heart, almost as if he was talking to himself.\nLiu Yang's face changed color rapidly, he raised his head to look at the circle of light and the clear airy reflection of Pang Jie. His heart thought, \"This person is so powerful till the extent whereby not only could he know what I was thinking, but also the Flash of Intention skill?\"\n\"Doesn't this mean that as long as he wants to do it, he could kill my soul essence and occupy my corporeal body?\""

132.新一代道门天下行走（第三更！
唐泽慢条斯理的说道：“最近有个林道人，相当活跃啊，有人看他不顺眼，想要对付他,你似乎可以提供一些有价值的情报？”
刘洋愣了愣：“林道人？”
唐泽笑了一下：“怎么你现在还不知道对方到底姓甚名谁吗？ 那人习惯性穿一身白色长袍，作羽衣星冠的道人打扮。”
刘洋脸色顿时阴沉下来，脸色铁青，牙齿咬得咯咯作响。
唐泽接着说道：“有人见过他收了玄机侯一个庶子为徒，当日那些雪风国遗民掳了那个庶子进来这里，玄机侯府有人追进来，却全军覆没。”
“几个月后，玄机侯府二管事陶二，在大秦南疆山脉中被那林道人斩杀。” 唐泽看了刘洋一眼：“当日进了黑云地宫的人，只有你下落不明，后来被人发现在这里封堵幽冥血河。”
刘洋打断了唐泽的话：“我是中了那个小杂碎的诡计，一着不慎被困在这里了。”
“小杂碎？” 唐泽听到刘洋对林锋的称呼里带着浓浓的蔑视，便心中一动：“这厮看来真的知道一些不为人知的事情。”
想到这里，唐泽笑道：“不管怎么说，我先带你出来便是。”
刘洋微微皱眉：“你修练的血魔诀虽然是血河真法的分支，但也无法如臂使指的掌控血河真水吧？”
唐泽点了点他，微笑着说道：“这就需要你身上那九支血河幡了，说起来我还要谢谢你干掉了我那讨厌的师弟，没有他在耳边聒噪，世界真是清净了许多。”
刘洋哼了一声没答话，眼看着唐泽做法收取了九支血河幡。
唐泽手指连点，从他指尖飞出九滴暗黑色的血珠，分别融入九支血河幡里。
九支血河幡立刻起了变化，迎风招展，连成阵势，竟然定住了汹涌的血河真水。
“我修练的不是血河真法正统，但这里也不过是幽冥血河一条小小的支流罢了。” 唐泽遗憾的摇摇头：“可惜了，为了代替你定住幽冥血河，这九支血河幡带不走了。”
刘洋斜眼看他：“你也会管血河是否作乱，冲出地面？”
唐泽耸了耸肩膀：“别的地方我可以不管，但这里离大周国都天京城太近了，我救你出来，不过小打小闹。”
“但真要纵容血河冲出地面，天京城里那两位，随便哪个，一根手指就把我捻死了。 准确的说，不用那两位出手，能捻死我的人也有很多。”
刘洋长啸一声，剑与身合，化作一道剑光，冲出幽冥血河。
在血河下被压了一年多时间，刘洋整个人都不好了，气息无比狂躁，更让他郁闷的是，自己的仙剑为了抵御血河真水侵袭，已经被污血所染，不知要花多少功夫才能清洗干净。
唐泽笑道：“被血河真水所污，就算你回蜀山去，也很难洗干净。”
刘洋霍然转头，恶狠狠的盯了他一眼。
唐泽不在乎的一耸肩，脸上满是戏谑的笑容：“我既然受人所托带你出来，早就想到你被血河压了一年，会有多么狼狈。”
“清洗污血的东西已经准备好了，跟我走吧。”
刘洋眼睛一亮：“能彻底清洗血河真水污秽的，唯有同列六大真水，号称万水之母，能化和万物的天一真水，你竟然有这种东西？”
唐泽边往外走边说道：“我没有，不过托我找你的人有，跟着走就行了。”
刘洋眼睛一眯，没有说话，毫不犹豫的跟在唐泽身后。
两人一起向西飞行了数千里远，落在一处僻静的小山谷内，唐泽领头，刘洋紧随其后，两人一起走进山谷。
唐泽若似无意的扫了刘洋一眼：“除了你以外，已经有烈火剑宗一个金丹期长老，于氏家族一个金丹期供奉，玄机侯府二管事陶二，大雷音寺弟子慧空，四名金丹期修士败在他的手上。”
“陶二和于家那个供奉，更是死的凄惨。”
刘洋一愣，断然道：“不可能！ 一个练气十层的小崽子，怎么可能击败那么多金丹期修士？”
唐泽双目中闪过精光：“练气十层？ 你确定？”
“当然！” 刘洋毫不犹豫的答道：“当初要不是我中了他诡计被幽冥血河所困，小手指都不用，吹一口气就能灭了他。”
他斜眼看着唐泽：“那些人，也是中了他的诡计？”
唐泽摇摇头：“不是，全都是众目睽睽之下，正面交战中被其击杀。” 顿了顿后，补充道：“其中陶二，还有于家那个供奉，大雷音寺弟子慧空，是三个车轮战打他一个，结果两个被打死在当场，一个被生擒活捉。”
等到听唐泽转述了当时经过后，刘洋明显松了一口气，断然说道：“是那个傀儡，明显是那个傀儡拥有极强力量，被那小杂碎走狗屎运，不知怎么的炼化了那个傀儡，这才能击败三名金丹期修士。”
“没了那个傀儡，他狗屁不是。” 刘洋沉声说道：“我肯定，那小子一年前在地宫里只有区区练气十层的水平，就算他这一年内突飞猛进，撑死了也不过是刚刚筑基，连灵台也立不起来。”
唐泽微微点头，刘洋关于林锋道法境界提升速度的判断，他是同意的。
一年时间从练气十层到筑基前期，已经是绝世天才的水准了。
当然，前提是，林锋真如刘洋所说，一年前仅仅练气十层的修为。
刘洋重重的点头：“不会错，他确实有某种秘法遮断外界对他法力道境的判断，但只要一真的动手，立刻就能看破他的底细。”
这时，一个晴朗的声音突然从山谷内部响起。
“如果是这样的话，那事情就好办了许多。”
刘洋和唐泽进到山谷中，一片山溪间，立着一个白衣青年，正看着他们微笑。
“陈刚，原来是你。” 刘洋恍然：“怎么，你们太虚观也看那小子不顺眼了？”
太虚观弟子陈刚微微一笑：“跳梁小丑一个，却偏偏喜欢上蹿下跳，干扰了庞师兄通盘计划中的一些布局，所以我奉庞师兄的命令清除掉他。”
陈刚看向刘洋：“我本来就对此人的真实修为起了怀疑，现在听你这么一说，我心里便彻底有谱了。”
“他的那只傀儡，我已经有办法对付。” 陈刚慢慢的说道：“不过，前段时间他在古域大泽中，突然亮出一张阵图，以一个从未见过的法阵葬送了由金丹期修士领军的三千神武军，正面击破他们的神武诛仙阵。”
刘洋和唐泽对视一眼，同时骇然。
三千修士组军，还有金丹期修士统领的神武诛仙阵，在场三人绑一起也不是对手啊。
刘洋难以置信地叫道：“这怎么可能？”
“已经发生的事情，没什么不可能的，我的人全程目击了整个过程。” 陈刚说道：“但问题来了，这一次，这个林道人仍然没有自己出手。”
“所以我猜测，关键在于那张阵图上，此人实力或许不高，但手头着实有些好东西。” 陈刚一边说着，一边手里捏了个法诀：“若单是那个傀儡，我并不放在心上，但那个法阵，我必须向庞师兄求援了。”
陈刚手一挥，身边溪水顿时飞腾起来，组成一个圆环，圆环浮在空中，有一人多高。
圆环中心光影变幻，渐渐变成一片白色，水波似的不停晃动，良久之后恢复平静，露出一个青年人的影像。
青年面目清癯俊秀，一袭干净的白袍，身上气息云淡风轻，不带一丝锐气，仿若一阵清风，一汪灵泉，只有一对眼睛如同夜空中的星辰一般熠熠生辉，目光仿佛可以直透人的灵魂。
陈刚躬身道：“陈刚见过庞师兄。”
刘洋和唐泽都是心中一凛：“此人就是太虚观现任的天下行走，庞杰？”
“太虚观之前三代天下行走，都是女性，当时蜀山里众师兄弟还笑话太虚观阴盛阳衰。” 刘洋心里暗道：“这次终于出了一个男性的天下行走吗？”
“天地人三才之数，阴阳循环，逢三而变，正和天道至理，有何奇怪？”
刘洋正心里暗笑，一个平淡无波的声音突然从心底里响起。
那个声音，直接源于刘洋心底，仿佛是他在和自己说话一样。
刘洋顿时脸色大变，抬头望向光影中，一派云淡风清模样的庞杰，心中骇然：“此人竟有如此神通修为？ 不仅可以得知我心中所想，更有元心电掣的神通？”
“那岂不是说，只要他愿意，随时可以抹杀我的神魂，占据我的肉身？”

Chapter 132: Blank Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:
Tang Ze looked at him and said slowly, "Recently there's a Taoist called Lin, he's been really active recently. Some people aren't happy with him and would like to deal with him. Can you provide any information of value?"
Liu Yang was stunned. "The Taoist Lin?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "How could not know who's your opponent up till now? The person normally wears a white robe, and is dressed from head to toe like a Taoist."
Liu Yang's face turned dark immediately and his face turned green. He gritted his teeth.
Tang Ze continued, "Some one saw him take in the son of the Marquis of Xuanji as a disciple. On that day, some stateless people from the Blizzard Land kidnapped his son and brought him here. The Marquis of Xuanji sent his men here in pursuit but they were completely wiped out."
"After a few months, the second manager of the Xuanji Household, Tao Er, was killed in the southern mountainous regions of Great Qin by the Taoist Lin." Tang Ze gave Liu Yang a look. "On that day, all who entered the Black Cloud Earth Palace were killed and used to clog up the Unholy Blood River. Only you remained unfound."
"I fell for the little bastard's trick. I wasn't careful for a moment, and hence I ended up here."
"Little bastard?" Hearing the derogatory tone Liu Yang adopted when speaking about Lin Feng, his heart stopped. "Perhaps this fool really know some secrets," thought Tang Ze.
Here, Tang Ze said smilingly. "Regardless, I'll take you out of here."
Liu Yang arched his eyebrows. "Your Mantra of the Blood Demon may be an offshoot of the True Spell of the Blood River, but it may not be possible for you to control the Blood River Primordial Water right?"
Tang Ze nodded his head, and said while smiling, "Thus, I would require your Nine Blood River Banners. To be frank, I have to thank you for getting rid of my annoying disciple. Without his incessant chatter, the world is quieter."
Liu Yang humphed, and he watched Tang Ze prepare the incantation to retrieve his Nine Blood River Banners.
"Rise!" From the tips of Tang Ze's fingers emerged nine dark coloured blood droplets, which entered the respective blood river banners.
The Nine Blood River Banners changed shape and spread wide to form a new formation. Miraculously, the managed to stop the Blood River Primordial Water.
"While I don't practice the orthodox True Spell of the Blood River, this here is nothing more than a small tributary of the Unholy Blood River." Tang Ze shook his head with regrets. "However, to replace you, I can't bring back the Nine Blood River Banners."
Liu Yang looked at him sideways. "You would care whether the blood river floods and rushes to the surface?"
Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care about other places, but here is too near to the capital of the Great Zhou Empire. Saving you won't raise so much commotion."
"However, to allow the blood river to flow out, two particular person in Tianjing would want me dead. Between the two of them, they can kill me easily. Actually, they don't even need to use their skills. There are so many people who could kill me there."
Liu Yang sighed, and he merged his body with his sword to form a single ray of sword light. He charged up and out of the Unholy Blood River.
After being trapped under the blood river for almost a year, Liu Yang did not look well. His temperament was erratic. What made him more depressed was the fact that his Divine Sword, which was used to resist the corrosive powers of the blood river, had been tainted by blood. He can't imagine the amount of effort it would require to clean it.
Tang Ze smiled, "It has been corrupted by the Blood River Primordial Water. Even if you head back to Mount Shu it would be hard to clean"
Liu Yang suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely.
Tang Ze did not care so much. His face was filled with a mischievous smile. "Since I was entrusted with bringing you out, I have already prepared myself for your sorry state after a year's imprisonment in the blood river."
"I have prepared items to help you clean off the dirty blood, follow me."
Liu Yang's eyes shone. "Only one of the Six Great Primordial Water can completely cleanse one off the pollutants of the Blood River Primordial Water, the mother of all water which could transcend all creation, and that's the One Heavenly Primordial Water. You have it?"
Tang Ze spoke as he walked, "Nope, but the person who entrusted me with saving you has it. Follow me."
Liu Yang's eyes turned to slits and he said nothing. Unhesitatingly, he followed behind Tang Ze.
The two of them flew westward for thousands of li before descending into a quiet little valley. Tang Ze led the way with Liu Yang following close behind. The two of them walked into the valley.
"It appears as if you could not respect the Taoist Lin?" Tang Ze unknowingly swept Liu Yang with his gaze. "Other than you, an elder from the Intense Flaming Sword Sect, a member of the Yu Family, the second manager of the Xuanji Household Tao Er and a disciple from the Great Thunderclap Temple, Hui Kong, had all lost to him. All of them were in their Aurous Core stage."
"Tao Er and the member of the Yu Family died horrible deaths."
Liu Yang was stunned, and he said, "That's impossible! A Qi Disciple Level 10 bastard couldn't have defeated so many Aurous Core Stage cultivator?"
Tang Ze's eyes sparkled, "Qi Disciple Level 10? Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Liu Yang said unhesitatingly. "Had I not fallen for his trick earlier and got trapped by the Unholy Blood River, I wouldn't even need my little finger to destroy him; a single breath would do."
He looked at Tang Ze sideways, "Those people, did they fall for his trick?"
Tang Ze shook his head, "No, they were all killed in full view of everyone in a face-to-face fight." He paused, then added, "Tao Er, the Yu Family household member and Hui Kong the disciple of the Great Thunderclap Temple were killed by him in a three-versus-one fight. In the end, two of them were killed on the spot and one of them was captured alive."
After listening to Tang Ze's recount, Liu Yang breathed a sigh of obvious relief, and said, "It's a puppet. It's obviously an extremely powerful puppet. The little bastard got lucky. I don't know how did he cultivate the puppet, but he used it to defeat the three Aurous Core stage cultivators."
"Without the puppet, he's nothing." Liu Yang said solemnly. "I'm sure that the bastard's mastery in the earth palace was only at Level 10. Even if he did manage to improve tremendously in the past one year, he should still be in the Foundation Establishment stage, not even at the Spiritual Altar stage."
Tang Ze nodded his head lightly, as he agreed with Liu Yang's analysis on Lin Feng's rapid improvement in mastery.
Achieving Foundation Establishment from Qi Disciple Level 10 would require unparalleled genius.
Of course, the precondition was that Lin Feng must be like what Liu Yang had said, possessing only Qi Disciple Level 10 a year ago.
Liu Yang nodded his head. "I can't be wrong. He must possess some secret spell to mask his mastery level from external scrutiny. However, once we force his hand, his true powers will be made known."
At this point, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the mountain valley.
"If that's the case, then things will be easier."
Liu Yang and Tang Ze jumped into the valley. Between the mountain creeks stood a youth in white who was smiling at them.
"Oh, it's you Chen Gang," Liu Yang said, surprised. "So what? Does your Great Void Sect have beef with him too?"
Chen Gang, the disciple of the Great Void Sect, smiled lightly. "He's just a jumpy little clown. Too bad he liked to bounce around a little too much. He disrupted Senior Pang's carefully laid out plans. Hence, I'm following Senior Pang's instructions to get rid of him."
Chen Gang looked at Liu Yang, "I've long suspected this person's cultivation. After hearing your words, my heart is clearer."
"I have a way to defeat his puppet," Chen Gang said slowly. "However, earlier on when he was in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions, he used a never-seen-before spell formation to kill an army of 3000 Divine Martial Army soldiers led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator. He took their Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation and won."
Liu Yang and Tang Ze looked at each other in shock.
The three of them together could not even match an Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation formed by 3000 cultivator soldiers and led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator."
Liu Yang said unbelievingly, "How could this be possible?"
"This had already happened, so there's nothing impossible about it. I witnessed it myself." Chen Gang said. "The problem is, that time, the Taoist Lin did not personally attack them."
"Thus, my guess is, the crux of it lies with his formation map. His power may not be high, but he possessed some powerful object." As Chen Gang spoke, he made an incantation with his hands. "If it's indeed a puppet, I'm not worried. But for the spell formation, I need to seek help from my senior."
Chen Gang waved his hand and the water from the creek jumped up to form a round circle. It hovered in the air; it was about as high as a person.
The light at the centre of the circle turned white as water droplets vibrated non stop. After a while it calmed, a reflection of a young man can be seen.
The young man's face was clear, bright and handsome. He wore a white robe and his body appeared as light as air without any hint of edginess, like a gust of clear breeze or a drop of clear stream water. Only his eyes, akin to twinkling stars in the night sky, sparkled brightly; his gaze appeared to penetrate deep into one's soul.
Chen Gang bowed and said, "Chen Gang respectfully offers his respects to Senior Pang."
Liu Yang and Tang Ze's heart missed a beat, "This is the current All-Under-Heaven Strider of the Great Void Sect, Pang Jie?"
"The three All-Under-Heaven Strider before him were all female. Previously, it was a running joke in Mount Shu that the Great Void Sect is strong in yin but weak in yang." Liu Yang thought. "Finally, they produced a male All-Under-Heaven Strider?"
"Heaven, Earth and Man; they come in three. In the cycles of yin and yang, it will change every three cycles, fulfilling the will of Heaven. How is this strange?"
As Liu Yang gloated privately, a plain voice sounded in his heart.
The voice originated from Liu Yang's heart, almost as if he was talking to himself.
Liu Yang's face changed color rapidly, he raised his head to look at the circle of light and the clear airy reflection of Pang Jie. His heart thought, "This person is so powerful till the extent whereby not only could he know what I was thinking, but also the Flash of Intention skill?"
"Doesn't this mean that as long as he wants to do it, he could kill my soul essence and occupy my corporeal body?"

"value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 骨关节与运动医学中心。 手术室。\n凌然背着手，身子向前倾，看着无影灯下一片亮光的手术视野，满脸的渴望。\n要不是距离足够远了，薛浩初真担心凌然的口水滴下来。\n“凌医生，咱们要不先回酒店休息休息？” 薛浩初小意的问。\n“现在做的是髋关节置换术啊。” 凌然根本不理他，看着正在操作的纪天禄的动作，脖子都伸的困了。\n在骨科里面，髋关节置换术算是顶峰水平了。\n髋关节置换术没涉及，还能牛逼起来的，也就是内窥镜了。\n不过，凌然既不会做髋关节置换术，也不会用内窥镜。\n比较起来，他懂得的手术还是比较符合实习生的身份的，无论是断指再植，还是跟腱修补术，都是相对简单直接的手术，tang法缝合更是如此，都属于符合人类直觉的手术。\n髋关节置换术和内窥镜，就没有那么容易直接了，它们通常是一个医院骨科的两个方向。 如果一个医院里的主任做开放性手术做的好，人又年轻，那后面的副主任就最好去学关节镜，然后就可以分裂成两个科室了。\n当然，骨关节与运动医学中心等于是一个大科室，内部的职位充沛，所以才能留住纪天禄这样的高阶主任级的精英医生，反而是住院医和主治的流动率极高，因为他们面对的竞争者并不仅仅同一个医院的十几个同龄人，而是来自全国各地的进修医乃至交流医，如副主任这样的职位，很可能就会被某位留美博士夺走。\n而对凌然来说，这样的髋关节置换术，平日里想看都是看不到的，因为云医的骨科都极少开展该项手术，他们的技能点在了手外科和关节镜上面。\n作为一名20多岁的年轻人，直面这样的手术，还是相当稀罕的。\n薛浩初就等的有些焦虑了。 他是骨关节与运动医学中心的小管家，常常代表祝同益做些细碎的工作，不能将时间都耗在手术室里啊。\n“凌医生，祝院士去京城了，今天还不能过来，就叮嘱我照顾好您，您看，咱们要不先去休息？” 薛浩初又催促凌然。\n凌然转头看了他一眼，道：“我要做手术。”\n“啊……这个……今天不合适呐。” 薛浩初讪笑两声，病床什么的其实也够用，但他还是有点怕出事，再说了，病区里人多了也增加管理难度，总要留着给后面来的参观者看个宽敞吧。\n凌然无奈的叹口气：“那就算了，我就看看。”\n纪天禄抬头看了凌然一眼，有些好笑的摇摇头，又低头忙碌起来。\n今天的髋关节置换术，也是他准备拿去会议上炫耀用的。 在国内，这样的手术能干净利落的做下来，就会被人翘大拇指。\n“凌医生……”薛浩初又喊了一声。\n纪天禄听的闹心，道：“小薛，你有事就忙去，凌然是你劝得动的？” 薛浩初愣了愣：“得，是我膨胀了。”\n“可不是吗？”\n纪天禄哈哈的大笑了几声，又放低了一些声音，道：“凌医生要是没有随时随地做手术的想法，你以为他是怎么练出这身技术的。”\n纪天禄的逻辑太通顺，以至于薛浩初立即被说服了。\n转瞬，薛浩初甚至有些羞愧——自己推三阻四下的，可不是浪费了凌然的时间。 “小薛啊。”\n身为主任医师，纪天禄虽然年轻，也是个人精，锐利的眼神一瞥，就知道薛浩初脑子里想的是什么。 纪天禄不得不提醒道：“别太膨胀啊。”\n“哈？” 薛浩初有点晕，我是在你的建议下要改变的啊。\n纪天禄却是哼哼一声，道：“你还记得凌医生之前的速度吗？ 你给他放开了，你信不信他能给你把病床塞满了。”\n薛浩初听明白了，转瞬就心虚了。\n骨关节与运动医学中心总共180张病床，现在剩下的不到80张，不是剩下100张病床给塞满了，而是祝同益为了体现良好的医疗环境，将三人病房全部给撤销了，剩下的大部分病房有一半是单人病房。 薛浩初不寒而栗。\n凌然要是把病床给填满了，祝同益回来以后非得杀了他……薛浩初不可。\n薛浩初连连摇头，不敢多言。\n纪天禄却是看着凌然，笑一笑，道：“凌医生，你以前做过髋关节置换吗？”\n第一次看。” 凌然实话实说。\n“那要不要给我做助手试试？” 纪天禄自己的助手是研究中心的主治，水平一般，技术一般，长的也一般，属于没什么推动力的类型。\n凌然立即点头，就算得了系统，他也是年轻医生一枚，做助手再正常不过。 当然，要是有主刀的机会……髋关节置换他当然不敢，但若是有懂的手术，他自然还是乐意做主刀的，现在退而求其次，做做助手也蛮不错。\n“我去洗手。” 凌然刺溜的就出了手术室。\n再回来的时候，凌然扎着胳膊，一身洗手服帅的像是自带背光似的。\n原来的一助被替换了做二助，二助只能站在旁边做观众了。\n事实上，原本的一助也不是什么高手，充其量就是跟过几次手术的普通医生，虽然不太情愿的让出位置，却也不敢反抗。\n他在示教室里看凌然大发神威的场景，也不过就是几十天前的事罢了，而在医院里，只有弱鸡们的地位是由职称决定的，有技术有潜力的医生，就是会高人一等。\n“怎么做？” 凌然站到了一助的位置上，开口就是很不高人的一句话。\n这就属于两人磨合的状态了，凌然于是跟着纪天禄的命令执行，慢慢的就算是将髋关节置换的步骤，给了解了。\n站在一旁看，与实地参与的感觉是不同的，这也是为什么那么多医生都争着抢着上手，哪怕上手做的是打杂似的活，但学手术的速度就会更快更准确。 站在助手位置上的手术视野，也要比伸着脖子看好的多。\n在做髋关节置换最早也最强的梅奥诊所，骨科的住院医们在短暂的熟悉后，上手就是跟着做髋关节置换，也就是凌然现在做的事。\n无他，梅奥骨科做的最多的手术就是髋关节置换，不让住院医上手，就没有人上手了。 所谓的高级手术，高端手术，到了一助的层面，也就不怎么稀罕了。\n高级手术的一助，既可以做高级的事，也可以做低级的事，全看主刀怎么安排。\n凌然现在就做着低级的事，却是做的兴高采烈。\n薛浩初一直站在旁边看，却是渐渐地看的羡慕起来。\n做一名纯粹的医生，始终是医生们的一个追求，薛浩初也不例外。 然而，做一名纯粹的医生，也是最不容易的一件事。\n医生之路上的诱惑太多了。\n薛浩初望着凌然，不由想：做凌然这样的医生，说不定还真的会很舒服，不像是我，每天都要和各种各样的领导打交道，动不动就要与一些三甲医院的行政科主任称兄道弟，被人家以小老弟的称呼捧着，实际上，却只是借了祝同益院士的势，真的是……过于安逸了。\n凌然的手机铃声响了起来。\n“麻烦帮我接一下电话。” 凌然俯身操作，眼睛紧紧盯着纪天禄的动作，没有丝毫的变化。\n巡回护士惊喜莫名，立刻去掏凌然的兜。\n“用免提吧。” 凌然就像是在自己的手术室里一样。\n小护士迟疑了一下，还是放到了免提状态。\n“凌医生，凌医生，我拿到奖牌了，全国田径冠军赛，我是铜牌！ 我拿奖牌了，不用退队了！”\n正在做手术的纪天禄都停了下来，给何秀芳做的跟腱修补术，正是凌然主刀，纪天禄助手的，因此，纪天禄更知道何秀芳的跟腱状况，不由自主的问：“这么快就恢复好了？”\n凌然反而不甚惊讶，道：“何秀芳是跟腱不完全断裂，恢复状态是会更好。 恩，何秀芳，你的跟腱好好吗？”\n刘威晨都准备参赛了，何秀芳参赛就不稀奇了。\n电话另一端，传来何秀芳的哭腔：“我的跟腱好的，好的很，比以前还好。”\n运动员长期高负荷训练，带伤比赛都是常事，反而是做了手术之后，何秀芳休息的更充足，训练的更完善。\n“何秀芳，你有空可以来我们中心复查。” 纪天禄提出建议。\n“恩，不光我来，我队友也要来，教练给领导说了，我们市田径队的都要来！” 何秀芳说着又呜咽起来：“我得奖牌了，不用退队了，我和队友们一起来！”.\nEnglish:\n"

"value": "The operating theater of the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center.\nLing Ran clasped his hands behind his back and leaned forward to look at the operating field under the shadowless lamp. His face was full of longing.\nIf it had not been for the sufficient distance between Ling Ran and the surgical field, Xue Haochu would have really been worried about Ling Ran salivating.\n“Doctor Ling, why don’t we go back to the hotel to rest first?” Xue Haochu asked in a fuss.\n“They’re doing a hip replacement surgery now, huh?” Ling Ran simply ignored him and watched Ji Tianlu’s actions until his neck was strained.\nIn the Orthopedics Department, hip replacement surgeries were the highest form of surgery.\nThe only way for a surgeon to show how epic he or she was through any other surgery other than hip replacement surgery was endoscopy.\nHowever, Ling Ran did not know how to do hip replacement surgeries or use an endoscope.\nIn comparison, the surgeries he knew were more in line with the identity of an intern. Both the finger replantation technique as well as Achilles tendon repair technique were relatively simple and straightforward surgeries. The M-Tang technique was even more so. These surgeries could be perceived directly through human senses.\nHip replacement surgeries and endoscopies were not so straightforward. They were usually divided into two directions in a hospital’s Orthopedics Department. If a director in a hospital could perform an open surgery well and if the person was young, the deputy director would be better off learning arthroscopy and splitting the department into two.\nOf course, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center was equivalent to a large department. There were plenty of internal positions in there, so it was possible to a retain high-ranking director and elite doctors such as Ji Tianlu. However, the flow rate of resident doctors and attending physicians was extremely high because the competitors they faced were not only a dozen peers in the same hospital. There were also postgraduate students and even visiting doctor from all over the country who went there for knowledge exchange and in-service training. Positions such as “associate department director” were likely to be taken by doctors who had worked in the United States.\nFor Ling Ran, such hip replacement surgeries were not commonly sighted, because the Orthopedics Department in Yun Hua Hospital rarely carried out the operation. Their skills were focused on hand surgery and arthroscopy.\nAs a young man in his twenties, it was quite rare for him to see such an operation directly.\nXue Haochu was a little anxious from waiting. He was the small butler in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. He often did a lot of work on behalf of Zhu Tongyi, and he could not spend his entire time in the operating theater.\n“Doctor Ling, Academician Zhu has gone to Beijing. He can’t come over today. So he asked me to take care of you. Why don’t we go and take a rest first?” Xue Haochu urged Ling Ran to move again.\nLing Ran turned to look at him and said, “I’d like to perform surgery.”\n“Ah… about that… Today’s not suitable.” Xue Haochu forced himself to chuckle. The number of beds was actually enough, but he was still a little afraid that something would come up. Besides, it would be more difficult to manage the patients if there were more people in the ward. They would need to leave some room for visitors who would come later.\nLing Ran sighed helplessly. “Then forget it, I’ll just have a look.”\nJi Tianlu looked up and stared at Ling Ran. He found the situation a little amusing, so he shook his head before he peered down to work again.\nHe was also planning to use the hip replacement surgery that day to show off at the conference. In China, if such a surgery could be done neatly, people would give him the thumbs-up.\n“Doctor Ling…” Xue Haochu called out to him again.\nJi Tianlu felt a little annoyed as he listened, and he said, “Young Xue, you may leave if you have something to do. You won’t be able to persuade Ling Ran.”\nXue Haochu was stunned. “Yes, I guess I was too full of myself.”\n“Aren’t you?” Ji Tianlu laughed out loud a few times and lowered his voice. “If Doctor Ling didn’t constantly have the urge to perform surgeries, how would he have managed to get his skills, you think?”\nJi Tianlu’s logic was so straightforward that Xue Haochu was immediately convinced.\nIn the blink of an eye, Xue Haochu became a little embarrassed. He had made all those excuses to urge them forward, but in the end, he just wasted Ling Ran’s time.\n“Young Xue.” As a chief physician, although Ji Tianlu was young, he was also a genius with a sharp eye. He knew what Xue Haochu had in mind. Ji Tianlu had to remind him and say, “Don’t be too full of yourself.”\n“Huh?” Xue Haochu was a little confused. ‘I was going to change tactics because of your suggestion, you know?’\nJi Tianlu snorted and said, “Do you still remember the speed at which Doctor Ling performed his surgeries before this? If you let him loose, you’d best believe that he’ll stuff the beds full with patients.”\nXue Haochu heard him and understood what he meant. He immediately felt guilty.\nThe Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center had a total of one hundred and eighty beds, and now, there were less than eighty left. It was not because the remaining one hundred beds were filled, but Zhu Tongyi had completely revoked the three-person rooms in order to reflect a good medical environment. Half of the remaining rooms were single-person rooms.\nXue Haochu shuddered. If Ling Ran filled up all the ward beds, Zhu Tongyi would definitely kill him when he returned. Xue Haochu could not let that happen.\nXue Haochu shook his head repeatedly. He did not dare speak.\nJi Tianlu looked at Ling Ran and smiled. He said, “Doctor Ling, have you ever performed a hip replacement surgery before?”\n“No, this is my first time seeing it,” Ling Ran told the truth.\n“Would you like to give it a try as my assistant?” Ji Tianlu’s own assistant was the attending physician of the research institute. He was at a normal level, where his skills were normal, his looks were average, and his drive was non-existent.\nLing Ran immediately nodded. Even if he understood the system, he was still a young doctor. It was normal for him to be an assistant. Of course, if he had the chance to be the chief surgeon… He certainly would not dare perform a hip replacement surgery, but for operations that he understood, he was naturally willing to be the chief surgeon. For now, he had no other choice but to become an assistant.\n“I’m going to wash my hands.” Ling Ran slid out of the operating theater.\nWhen Ling Ran came back, Ling Ran had his hands up and his scrubs on. He was so handsome that he looked like he had a halo behind him.\nThe original first assistant was replaced and became the second assistant. The second assistant had to stand by the side as an audience member.\nIn truth, the original first assistant was not an expert. At best, he was a general practitioner who had tagged along with a chief surgeon to perform several surgeries. Although he was reluctant to give up his position, he did not dare resist.\nHe had witnessed the scene in which Ling Ran showed his invincible might around two weeks ago in the demonstration room. And he knew his status was lower than Ling Ran’s, because in the hospital, the positions of people with low skill were determined solely by their professional titles. Doctors who were capable and possessed potential would always be one level higher than them.\n“What should I do?” Ling Ran stood in the position of first assistant. He spoke as if he was unskilled.\nIt was a situation where two people would try to work with one another. Ling Ran followed Ji Tianlu’s orders and did what was requested. He even slowly came to understand the steps involved in a hip replacement surgery.\nThe feeling of standing by the sidelines and participating in the field was different, hence the reason why so many doctors rushed to perform surgeries hands on. Even if they only did menial jobs, their speed in learning the surgery would be faster and more accurate. It was also much easier to look at the operating field from the assistant’s position instead of craning his neck.\nIn Mayo Clinic—one of the earliest places to launch the hip replacement surgery project and currently the best in the world for that surgery—the resident doctors from its Orthopedics Department would start to perform hip replacement surgeries after a short period of getting to know each other. That was exactly what Ling Ran was doing at the moment.\nThere was no other reason behind it. The most common surgery done by Mayo’s Orthopedics Department was the hip replacement surgery. If they did not allow resident doctors to perform that surgery, no one else would be able to.\nA first assistant participating in a high-end surgery could do both high-level and low-level tasks. It all depended on how the chief surgeon arranged the tasks.\nLing Ran was currently doing low-level tasks, but he did them with exuberance.\nXue Haochu stood next to him and watched. As he observed, he gradually became envious of Ling Ran.\nBeing a doctor whose only concern was treating people was always a dream for doctors. Xue Haochu was no exception. However, being a doctor whose only concern was treating patients was also the hardest thing to do.\nThere were too many temptations on the path of being a doctor.\nXue Haochu looked at Ling Ran and could not help but think, ‘Being a doctor like Ling Ran must be very relaxing, unlike being me. I have to deal with all kinds of leaders every day. I need to constantly rub shoulders with some administrative department director from other tertiary grade A hospitals and be called their younger brother. But in truth, I only get to be friends with them because of Academician Zhu Tongyi’s might. Ling Ran’s life… is indeed very comfortable.’\nLing Ran’s phone rang.\n“Do you mind helping me pick up my phone?” Ling Ran had his body bent over while he performed his tasks. His eyes were fixed on Ji Tianlu’s movements. He did not budge in the slightest.\nThe circulating nurse was pleasantly surprised, and she immediately approached Ling Ran’s pocket.\n“Use hands-free,” Ling Ran spoke as if he was in his own operating theater.\nThe young nurse hesitated, but still put it on hands-free.\n“Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, I got the medal. I’ve won the bronze medal in the National Track and Field Championship! I’ve won the medal, I don’t have to leave the team!” The voice of the young female discus thrower, He Xiufang traveled of the microphone and was deafening to the ears.\nJi Tianlu stopped performing the surgery as well. Ling Ran was the chief surgeon for the Achilles tendon repair for He Xiufang, and Ji Tianlu was his assistant. Therefore, Ji Tianlu knew about the status of He Xiufang’s Achilles tendon. He could not help but ask, “It recovered so quickly?”\nLing Ran, however, was not surprised. He said, “He Xiufang’s Achilles tendon wasn’t completely ruptured, so her recovery will be better. Hmm… He Xiufang, is your Achilles tendon well?”\nLiu Weichen was already ready to participate in competitions, so it was not unusual for He Xiufang to have competed in tournaments too.\nOn the other end of the phone was He Xiufang’s weeping voice. “My Achilles tendon is good, incredibly good, even better than before.”\nAthletes had to bear with heavy load training over a long period of time. It was common for them to compete while injured. But after undergoing surgery, He Xiufang had enough rest, and her training was also holistic.\n“He Xiufang, if you have time, you can come to our center for a check-up,” Ji Tianlu suggested.\n“Yes! I won’t be the only one coming, my teammates will want to come along too. My coach told the leaders that the whole city’s track and field team had to go!” He Xiufang said and sobbed. “I’ve won the medal. I don’t have to leave the team anymore. My teammates and I will come together!”"

骨关节与运动医学中心。 手术室。
凌然背着手，身子向前倾，看着无影灯下一片亮光的手术视野，满脸的渴望。
要不是距离足够远了，薛浩初真担心凌然的口水滴下来。
“凌医生，咱们要不先回酒店休息休息？” 薛浩初小意的问。
“现在做的是髋关节置换术啊。” 凌然根本不理他，看着正在操作的纪天禄的动作，脖子都伸的困了。
在骨科里面，髋关节置换术算是顶峰水平了。
髋关节置换术没涉及，还能牛逼起来的，也就是内窥镜了。
不过，凌然既不会做髋关节置换术，也不会用内窥镜。
比较起来，他懂得的手术还是比较符合实习生的身份的，无论是断指再植，还是跟腱修补术，都是相对简单直接的手术，tang法缝合更是如此，都属于符合人类直觉的手术。
髋关节置换术和内窥镜，就没有那么容易直接了，它们通常是一个医院骨科的两个方向。 如果一个医院里的主任做开放性手术做的好，人又年轻，那后面的副主任就最好去学关节镜，然后就可以分裂成两个科室了。
当然，骨关节与运动医学中心等于是一个大科室，内部的职位充沛，所以才能留住纪天禄这样的高阶主任级的精英医生，反而是住院医和主治的流动率极高，因为他们面对的竞争者并不仅仅同一个医院的十几个同龄人，而是来自全国各地的进修医乃至交流医，如副主任这样的职位，很可能就会被某位留美博士夺走。
而对凌然来说，这样的髋关节置换术，平日里想看都是看不到的，因为云医的骨科都极少开展该项手术，他们的技能点在了手外科和关节镜上面。
作为一名20多岁的年轻人，直面这样的手术，还是相当稀罕的。
薛浩初就等的有些焦虑了。 他是骨关节与运动医学中心的小管家，常常代表祝同益做些细碎的工作，不能将时间都耗在手术室里啊。
“凌医生，祝院士去京城了，今天还不能过来，就叮嘱我照顾好您，您看，咱们要不先去休息？” 薛浩初又催促凌然。
凌然转头看了他一眼，道：“我要做手术。”
“啊……这个……今天不合适呐。” 薛浩初讪笑两声，病床什么的其实也够用，但他还是有点怕出事，再说了，病区里人多了也增加管理难度，总要留着给后面来的参观者看个宽敞吧。
凌然无奈的叹口气：“那就算了，我就看看。”
纪天禄抬头看了凌然一眼，有些好笑的摇摇头，又低头忙碌起来。
今天的髋关节置换术，也是他准备拿去会议上炫耀用的。 在国内，这样的手术能干净利落的做下来，就会被人翘大拇指。
“凌医生……”薛浩初又喊了一声。
纪天禄听的闹心，道：“小薛，你有事就忙去，凌然是你劝得动的？” 薛浩初愣了愣：“得，是我膨胀了。”
“可不是吗？”
纪天禄哈哈的大笑了几声，又放低了一些声音，道：“凌医生要是没有随时随地做手术的想法，你以为他是怎么练出这身技术的。”
纪天禄的逻辑太通顺，以至于薛浩初立即被说服了。
转瞬，薛浩初甚至有些羞愧——自己推三阻四下的，可不是浪费了凌然的时间。 “小薛啊。”
身为主任医师，纪天禄虽然年轻，也是个人精，锐利的眼神一瞥，就知道薛浩初脑子里想的是什么。 纪天禄不得不提醒道：“别太膨胀啊。”
“哈？” 薛浩初有点晕，我是在你的建议下要改变的啊。
纪天禄却是哼哼一声，道：“你还记得凌医生之前的速度吗？ 你给他放开了，你信不信他能给你把病床塞满了。”
薛浩初听明白了，转瞬就心虚了。
骨关节与运动医学中心总共180张病床，现在剩下的不到80张，不是剩下100张病床给塞满了，而是祝同益为了体现良好的医疗环境，将三人病房全部给撤销了，剩下的大部分病房有一半是单人病房。 薛浩初不寒而栗。
凌然要是把病床给填满了，祝同益回来以后非得杀了他……薛浩初不可。
薛浩初连连摇头，不敢多言。
纪天禄却是看着凌然，笑一笑，道：“凌医生，你以前做过髋关节置换吗？”
第一次看。” 凌然实话实说。
“那要不要给我做助手试试？” 纪天禄自己的助手是研究中心的主治，水平一般，技术一般，长的也一般，属于没什么推动力的类型。
凌然立即点头，就算得了系统，他也是年轻医生一枚，做助手再正常不过。 当然，要是有主刀的机会……髋关节置换他当然不敢，但若是有懂的手术，他自然还是乐意做主刀的，现在退而求其次，做做助手也蛮不错。
“我去洗手。” 凌然刺溜的就出了手术室。
再回来的时候，凌然扎着胳膊，一身洗手服帅的像是自带背光似的。
原来的一助被替换了做二助，二助只能站在旁边做观众了。
事实上，原本的一助也不是什么高手，充其量就是跟过几次手术的普通医生，虽然不太情愿的让出位置，却也不敢反抗。
他在示教室里看凌然大发神威的场景，也不过就是几十天前的事罢了，而在医院里，只有弱鸡们的地位是由职称决定的，有技术有潜力的医生，就是会高人一等。
“怎么做？” 凌然站到了一助的位置上，开口就是很不高人的一句话。
这就属于两人磨合的状态了，凌然于是跟着纪天禄的命令执行，慢慢的就算是将髋关节置换的步骤，给了解了。
站在一旁看，与实地参与的感觉是不同的，这也是为什么那么多医生都争着抢着上手，哪怕上手做的是打杂似的活，但学手术的速度就会更快更准确。 站在助手位置上的手术视野，也要比伸着脖子看好的多。
在做髋关节置换最早也最强的梅奥诊所，骨科的住院医们在短暂的熟悉后，上手就是跟着做髋关节置换，也就是凌然现在做的事。
无他，梅奥骨科做的最多的手术就是髋关节置换，不让住院医上手，就没有人上手了。 所谓的高级手术，高端手术，到了一助的层面，也就不怎么稀罕了。
高级手术的一助，既可以做高级的事，也可以做低级的事，全看主刀怎么安排。
凌然现在就做着低级的事，却是做的兴高采烈。
薛浩初一直站在旁边看，却是渐渐地看的羡慕起来。
做一名纯粹的医生，始终是医生们的一个追求，薛浩初也不例外。 然而，做一名纯粹的医生，也是最不容易的一件事。
医生之路上的诱惑太多了。
薛浩初望着凌然，不由想：做凌然这样的医生，说不定还真的会很舒服，不像是我，每天都要和各种各样的领导打交道，动不动就要与一些三甲医院的行政科主任称兄道弟，被人家以小老弟的称呼捧着，实际上，却只是借了祝同益院士的势，真的是……过于安逸了。
凌然的手机铃声响了起来。
“麻烦帮我接一下电话。” 凌然俯身操作，眼睛紧紧盯着纪天禄的动作，没有丝毫的变化。
巡回护士惊喜莫名，立刻去掏凌然的兜。
“用免提吧。” 凌然就像是在自己的手术室里一样。
小护士迟疑了一下，还是放到了免提状态。
“凌医生，凌医生，我拿到奖牌了，全国田径冠军赛，我是铜牌！ 我拿奖牌了，不用退队了！”
正在做手术的纪天禄都停了下来，给何秀芳做的跟腱修补术，正是凌然主刀，纪天禄助手的，因此，纪天禄更知道何秀芳的跟腱状况，不由自主的问：“这么快就恢复好了？”
凌然反而不甚惊讶，道：“何秀芳是跟腱不完全断裂，恢复状态是会更好。 恩，何秀芳，你的跟腱好好吗？”
刘威晨都准备参赛了，何秀芳参赛就不稀奇了。
电话另一端，传来何秀芳的哭腔：“我的跟腱好的，好的很，比以前还好。”
运动员长期高负荷训练，带伤比赛都是常事，反而是做了手术之后，何秀芳休息的更充足，训练的更完善。
“何秀芳，你有空可以来我们中心复查。” 纪天禄提出建议。
“恩，不光我来，我队友也要来，教练给领导说了，我们市田径队的都要来！” 何秀芳说着又呜咽起来：“我得奖牌了，不用退队了，我和队友们一起来！”

The operating theater of the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center.
Ling Ran clasped his hands behind his back and leaned forward to look at the operating field under the shadowless lamp. His face was full of longing.
If it had not been for the sufficient distance between Ling Ran and the surgical field, Xue Haochu would have really been worried about Ling Ran salivating.
“Doctor Ling, why don’t we go back to the hotel to rest first?” Xue Haochu asked in a fuss.
“They’re doing a hip replacement surgery now, huh?” Ling Ran simply ignored him and watched Ji Tianlu’s actions until his neck was strained.
In the Orthopedics Department, hip replacement surgeries were the highest form of surgery.
The only way for a surgeon to show how epic he or she was through any other surgery other than hip replacement surgery was endoscopy.
However, Ling Ran did not know how to do hip replacement surgeries or use an endoscope.
In comparison, the surgeries he knew were more in line with the identity of an intern. Both the finger replantation technique as well as Achilles tendon repair technique were relatively simple and straightforward surgeries. The M-Tang technique was even more so. These surgeries could be perceived directly through human senses.
Hip replacement surgeries and endoscopies were not so straightforward. They were usually divided into two directions in a hospital’s Orthopedics Department. If a director in a hospital could perform an open surgery well and if the person was young, the deputy director would be better off learning arthroscopy and splitting the department into two.
Of course, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center was equivalent to a large department. There were plenty of internal positions in there, so it was possible to a retain high-ranking director and elite doctors such as Ji Tianlu. However, the flow rate of resident doctors and attending physicians was extremely high because the competitors they faced were not only a dozen peers in the same hospital. There were also postgraduate students and even visiting doctor from all over the country who went there for knowledge exchange and in-service training. Positions such as “associate department director” were likely to be taken by doctors who had worked in the United States.
For Ling Ran, such hip replacement surgeries were not commonly sighted, because the Orthopedics Department in Yun Hua Hospital rarely carried out the operation. Their skills were focused on hand surgery and arthroscopy.
As a young man in his twenties, it was quite rare for him to see such an operation directly.
Xue Haochu was a little anxious from waiting. He was the small butler in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. He often did a lot of work on behalf of Zhu Tongyi, and he could not spend his entire time in the operating theater.
“Doctor Ling, Academician Zhu has gone to Beijing. He can’t come over today. So he asked me to take care of you. Why don’t we go and take a rest first?” Xue Haochu urged Ling Ran to move again.
Ling Ran turned to look at him and said, “I’d like to perform surgery.”
“Ah… about that… Today’s not suitable.” Xue Haochu forced himself to chuckle. The number of beds was actually enough, but he was still a little afraid that something would come up. Besides, it would be more difficult to manage the patients if there were more people in the ward. They would need to leave some room for visitors who would come later.
Ling Ran sighed helplessly. “Then forget it, I’ll just have a look.”
Ji Tianlu looked up and stared at Ling Ran. He found the situation a little amusing, so he shook his head before he peered down to work again.
He was also planning to use the hip replacement surgery that day to show off at the conference. In China, if such a surgery could be done neatly, people would give him the thumbs-up.
“Doctor Ling…” Xue Haochu called out to him again.
Ji Tianlu felt a little annoyed as he listened, and he said, “Young Xue, you may leave if you have something to do. You won’t be able to persuade Ling Ran.”
Xue Haochu was stunned. “Yes, I guess I was too full of myself.”
“Aren’t you?” Ji Tianlu laughed out loud a few times and lowered his voice. “If Doctor Ling didn’t constantly have the urge to perform surgeries, how would he have managed to get his skills, you think?”
Ji Tianlu’s logic was so straightforward that Xue Haochu was immediately convinced.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Haochu became a little embarrassed. He had made all those excuses to urge them forward, but in the end, he just wasted Ling Ran’s time.
“Young Xue.” As a chief physician, although Ji Tianlu was young, he was also a genius with a sharp eye. He knew what Xue Haochu had in mind. Ji Tianlu had to remind him and say, “Don’t be too full of yourself.”
“Huh?” Xue Haochu was a little confused. ‘I was going to change tactics because of your suggestion, you know?’
Ji Tianlu snorted and said, “Do you still remember the speed at which Doctor Ling performed his surgeries before this? If you let him loose, you’d best believe that he’ll stuff the beds full with patients.”
Xue Haochu heard him and understood what he meant. He immediately felt guilty.
The Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center had a total of one hundred and eighty beds, and now, there were less than eighty left. It was not because the remaining one hundred beds were filled, but Zhu Tongyi had completely revoked the three-person rooms in order to reflect a good medical environment. Half of the remaining rooms were single-person rooms.
Xue Haochu shuddered. If Ling Ran filled up all the ward beds, Zhu Tongyi would definitely kill him when he returned. Xue Haochu could not let that happen.
Xue Haochu shook his head repeatedly. He did not dare speak.
Ji Tianlu looked at Ling Ran and smiled. He said, “Doctor Ling, have you ever performed a hip replacement surgery before?”
“No, this is my first time seeing it,” Ling Ran told the truth.
“Would you like to give it a try as my assistant?” Ji Tianlu’s own assistant was the attending physician of the research institute. He was at a normal level, where his skills were normal, his looks were average, and his drive was non-existent.
Ling Ran immediately nodded. Even if he understood the system, he was still a young doctor. It was normal for him to be an assistant. Of course, if he had the chance to be the chief surgeon… He certainly would not dare perform a hip replacement surgery, but for operations that he understood, he was naturally willing to be the chief surgeon. For now, he had no other choice but to become an assistant.
“I’m going to wash my hands.” Ling Ran slid out of the operating theater.
When Ling Ran came back, Ling Ran had his hands up and his scrubs on. He was so handsome that he looked like he had a halo behind him.
The original first assistant was replaced and became the second assistant. The second assistant had to stand by the side as an audience member.
In truth, the original first assistant was not an expert. At best, he was a general practitioner who had tagged along with a chief surgeon to perform several surgeries. Although he was reluctant to give up his position, he did not dare resist.
He had witnessed the scene in which Ling Ran showed his invincible might around two weeks ago in the demonstration room. And he knew his status was lower than Ling Ran’s, because in the hospital, the positions of people with low skill were determined solely by their professional titles. Doctors who were capable and possessed potential would always be one level higher than them.
“What should I do?” Ling Ran stood in the position of first assistant. He spoke as if he was unskilled.
It was a situation where two people would try to work with one another. Ling Ran followed Ji Tianlu’s orders and did what was requested. He even slowly came to understand the steps involved in a hip replacement surgery.
The feeling of standing by the sidelines and participating in the field was different, hence the reason why so many doctors rushed to perform surgeries hands on. Even if they only did menial jobs, their speed in learning the surgery would be faster and more accurate. It was also much easier to look at the operating field from the assistant’s position instead of craning his neck.
In Mayo Clinic—one of the earliest places to launch the hip replacement surgery project and currently the best in the world for that surgery—the resident doctors from its Orthopedics Department would start to perform hip replacement surgeries after a short period of getting to know each other. That was exactly what Ling Ran was doing at the moment.
There was no other reason behind it. The most common surgery done by Mayo’s Orthopedics Department was the hip replacement surgery. If they did not allow resident doctors to perform that surgery, no one else would be able to.
A first assistant participating in a high-end surgery could do both high-level and low-level tasks. It all depended on how the chief surgeon arranged the tasks.
Ling Ran was currently doing low-level tasks, but he did them with exuberance.
Xue Haochu stood next to him and watched. As he observed, he gradually became envious of Ling Ran.
Being a doctor whose only concern was treating people was always a dream for doctors. Xue Haochu was no exception. However, being a doctor whose only concern was treating patients was also the hardest thing to do.
There were too many temptations on the path of being a doctor.
Xue Haochu looked at Ling Ran and could not help but think, ‘Being a doctor like Ling Ran must be very relaxing, unlike being me. I have to deal with all kinds of leaders every day. I need to constantly rub shoulders with some administrative department director from other tertiary grade A hospitals and be called their younger brother. But in truth, I only get to be friends with them because of Academician Zhu Tongyi’s might. Ling Ran’s life… is indeed very comfortable.’
Ling Ran’s phone rang.
“Do you mind helping me pick up my phone?” Ling Ran had his body bent over while he performed his tasks. His eyes were fixed on Ji Tianlu’s movements. He did not budge in the slightest.
The circulating nurse was pleasantly surprised, and she immediately approached Ling Ran’s pocket.
“Use hands-free,” Ling Ran spoke as if he was in his own operating theater.
The young nurse hesitated, but still put it on hands-free.
“Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, I got the medal. I’ve won the bronze medal in the National Track and Field Championship! I’ve won the medal, I don’t have to leave the team!” The voice of the young female discus thrower, He Xiufang traveled of the microphone and was deafening to the ears.
Ji Tianlu stopped performing the surgery as well. Ling Ran was the chief surgeon for the Achilles tendon repair for He Xiufang, and Ji Tianlu was his assistant. Therefore, Ji Tianlu knew about the status of He Xiufang’s Achilles tendon. He could not help but ask, “It recovered so quickly?”
Ling Ran, however, was not surprised. He said, “He Xiufang’s Achilles tendon wasn’t completely ruptured, so her recovery will be better. Hmm… He Xiufang, is your Achilles tendon well?”
Liu Weichen was already ready to participate in competitions, so it was not unusual for He Xiufang to have competed in tournaments too.
On the other end of the phone was He Xiufang’s weeping voice. “My Achilles tendon is good, incredibly good, even better than before.”
Athletes had to bear with heavy load training over a long period of time. It was common for them to compete while injured. But after undergoing surgery, He Xiufang had enough rest, and her training was also holistic.
“He Xiufang, if you have time, you can come to our center for a check-up,” Ji Tianlu suggested.
“Yes! I won’t be the only one coming, my teammates will want to come along too. My coach told the leaders that the whole city’s track and field team had to go!” He Xiufang said and sobbed. “I’ve won the medal. I don’t have to leave the team anymore. My teammates and I will come together!”

"value": "Chapter 162 - No Vows, but Chit-chats\nNyoi-Bo Studio Someone left Beijing and headed down South at night. “Hello, Miss. Guo,” said Gu\n“You don’t need to call me Miss. Guo; just call me Sirou,” said Guo Sirou. “Uncle Gu, we have pre-arranged your trip this time.”\n“Yes, the senior officer had given me all the instructions,” said Gu.\nAm I breaking my promise? thought Guo Sirou.\nAfter Guo Sirou received a phone call from her grandpa about Xue, she was reluctant to take any action. After all, she had promised Wang Yao not to tell anyone about the fact that he had treated her grandpa. But she knew about Xue, who was two years younger than her. If she were Xue, she wouldn’t have the courage to continue on living.\n“We have to make an exception for Xue and owe Wang Yao another favor,” said Guo Sirou’s grandpa before she left.\nHow am I going to return the favor?! thought Guo Sirou.\nGuo Sirou and Gu got off the airplane at Dao City, then met He Qisheng who had been waiting for them at the airport.\n“Hi, Miss. Guo! Hi, Gu!” greeted He Qisheng. He was a bit surprised to see Gu, as Guo Sirou didn’t mention that Gu was going to travel with her. He Qisheng only knew Guo Sirou was going to take someone with her.\n“Hi, Qisheng, long time no see,” said Gu, a middle-aged man.\n“Yes, haven’t seen you for a while,” said He Qisheng.\n“Let’s talk on our way to Haiqu,” suggested Gu.\n“We are here to see Wang Yao. We need his help. Just help me think what I should say to him,” said Guo Sirou.\n“Do you want him to treat someone?” asked He Qisheng.\n“Where is the patient?” asked He Qisheng.\n“The patient is not here. She is in Beijing,” said Guo Sirou.\n“Are you talking about Xue?” asked He Qisheng.\n“Yes,” said Guo Sirou.\n“It’s going to be tricky. You know, he doesn’t like visiting Beijing,” said He Qisheng.\n“That’s why I need your help to convince him,” said Guo Sirou.\n“It’s going to be very hard!” He Qisheng shook his head.\n“Why doesn’t he like visiting Beijing?” asked Gu.\n“I wish I knew,” said He Qisheng.\n“He more than just dislikes visiting Beijing. I’ve mentioned it to him before. There was no room for negotiation. You need to be prepared, Gu,” said He Qisheng.\nThey wanted a big favor from Wang Yao, so they couldn’t force him to do things. Maybe they could convince him using their power. Talking about power, Guo Sirou’s family had great power, which still couldn’t make Wang Yao change his mind. Who is this Wang Yao? Gu wondered.\nOn one hand, Gu thought it was going to be tricky to convince Wang Yao. On the other hand, Gu had become more and more curious about Wang Yao, who he hadn’t had a chance to meet.\nThe three of them settled in the best hotel in Haiqu.\n“Uncle He, could you go to Nanshan hill and see if you can ask Wang Yao to come here?” asked Guo Sirou.\n“Okay,” said He Qisheng.\nGuo Sirou didn’t go to Lianshan immediately. She didn’t want to disturb Wang Yao directly. Instead, she wanted He Qisheng to test Wang Yao’s thoughts first. If Wang Yao was adamant that he didn’t want to visit Beijing, they would have to think of alternative ways.\n“I hope he will not be too stubborn this time,” said Guo Sirou softly as she was looking at the night view of Haiqu through the window. It couldn’t compare with Beijing’s at all.\n“Hi, what are you doing?” Tong Wei was speaking to Wang Yao on the phone.\n“Nothing, I’m just sitting outside,” said Wang Yao.\n“Are you on the hill again?” asked Tong Wei.\n“Yes, I’m on the hill and looking at the sky while talking to you on the phone.” Wang Yao was sitting outside his cottage and speaking to Tong Wei on the phone.\n“Are you busy at Dao City?” asked Wang Yao.\n“Not too bad. I’m just a bit busy recently,” said Tong Wei.\nThe conversation between them was as usual. They never made vows, only casual chit-chat, which only strengthened the feelings between them.\n“I will return to Lianshan next week,” said Tong Wei.\n“Great, are you happy for me to pick you up?” asked Wang Yao.\n“Yes, I’ll call you on the day,” said Tong Wei.\n“Sounds good,” said Wang Yao.\n… The next day, Wang Yao was interrupted twice by phone calls when he was practicing making herbal pills.\nOne of the calls was from Tian Yuantu who asked him to review Secretary Yang’s mother after taking the decoctions made by Wang Yao. It had been a while since she started to take the decoctions from Wang Yao. The other call was from He Qisheng, who asked if Wang Yao was at Nanshan hill. He wanted to visit Wang Yao.\nHe Qisheng came to Nanshan hill at 10 am and brought a simple present for Wang Yao. Of course, the only thing simple was the package. But, Wang Yao was no longer a young man who had never seen any top-shelf products. He could tell immediately the present cost a lot.\n“I’ve told you that you don’t need to bring me anything,” said Wang Yao.\nHe Qisheng just smiled. He didn’t say anything.\n“Please come inside,” said Wang Yao. …\nIn the shabby cottage sat a pot of tea.\nHe Qisheng expressed his purpose of visiting in a tactful way during his short chat with Wang Yao. At last, Wang Yao still declined him without hesitation.\nWang Yao wouldn’t go to Beijing at this stage.\nHe Qisheng was not too surprised after being turned down, but he was still a bit disappointed.\nWell, it looks like Miss. Guo has to come here in person! thought He Qisheng.\n“That’s fine; I won’t disturb you anymore. I have to go,” said He Qisheng.\n“Wait, why do you and Miss. Guo want me to go to Beijing?” asked Wang Yao out of curiosity.\n“We want you to see a patient,” said Wang Yao.\n“See a patient? There are so many well-known specialists and experts in Beijing. It won’t be difficult for you to ask a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner to treat the patient you mentioned given Miss. Guo’s social status,” said Wang Yao with a smile.\n“Even a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner couldn’t treat certain diseases,” said He Qisheng.\n“Even a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner couldn’t treat certain diseases,” said He Qisheng. “What do you think I can do?” asked Wang Yao.\nHe Qisheng was telling the truth, and Wang Yao believed him. Apart from the rich knowledge Wang Yao obtained from the system, the wonderful licorice roots were also critical in treating one’s disease. Maybe those divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioners were extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but they didn’t have licorice roots.\nIn fact, the Regather soup Wang Yao made hadn’t been taken by Guo Sirou’s grandpa entirely. A small proportion of the decoction was sent to be tested in a specialized lab, as Miss. Guo’s family wanted to duplicate the decoction. They were all amazed by the effect of Wang Yao’s decoctions. But, the outcome of the test disappointed them. The lab could only test some herbs in the decoction, which could be easily found in any herb stores. Some components of the decoction couldn’t be tested, so they couldn’t make the exact same decoction.\nIt was like industrial production—30% of which relied on technology, while 70% relied on equipment. A wonderful decoction required wonderful herbs.\nIf Guo Sirou’s grandpa hadn’t ordered his men not to disturb Wang Yao, and only a handful of people knew about it, some of his men would have already found Wang Yao and force him to give away the herbal formula. They wouldn’t mind getting their hands dirty to force or lure Wang Yao to tell them the ingredients of his decoctions.\nThis was the reality.\n“I am flattered,” said Wang Yao. “Anyway, sorry to disturb you; bye for now,” said He Qisheng.\nHe had seen Wang Yao and tried his best to convince Wang Yao. Now he knew Wang Yao’s answer, so he didn’t need to stay anymore. He Qisheng stood up and left.\nGo to Beijing to see a patient?\nWang Yao frowned as he watched He Qisheng walking downhill. He had a feeling that the whole thing was not that simple.\nHe Qisheng drove back to Haiqu to meet Guo Sirou and Gu.\n“No; he said no as soon as I mentioned Beijing,” said He Qisheng.\n“Maybe he has enemies in Beijing?” said Gu.\n“Miss. Guo, haven’t you told him about who you are?” Gu spoke in a tactful way, but both Guo Sirou and He Qisheng knew what he was talking about. He was talking about Guo Sirou’s social status. He meant that Guo Sirou should tell Wang Yao what kind of family she belonged to.\n“No, I didn’t.” Guo Sirou shook her head.\n“No wonder. You should tell him!” said Gu. “If he knew who you were, he probably wouldn’t be resistive to Beijing!”\n“Maybe you are right,” said Guo Sirou after thinking for a moment. She hadn’t told Wang Yao about her social status because she didn’t think it was necessary. But now she thought she should let Wang Yao know who she was. After knowing Wang Yao for a while, she had faith in Wang Yao’s personality and character.\n“Maybe I thought too much. Well, I’ll go to see him. Uncle Gu, Uncle He, just wait for me here,”\n“You don’t need to go; I can visit him again,” said He Qisheng.\n“No, I think I should go in person,” Guo Sirou insisted. …\nWang Yao went to Haiqu in the afternoon with Tian Yuantu to see Secretary Yang’s mother. After checking her pulse and observing her, Wang Yao found that the cold evil inside her body had reduced, although only a little. It indicated that the decoctions Wang Yao made were working. “How have you been feeling?” asked Wang Yao.\n“I have been feeling much more comfortable after taking your decoctions. I felt warm and even sweated a few days ago,” said Secretary Yang’s mother.\n“Great! It means the decoction has been working. Let me make you another dose. Are you okay with taking another decoction?” asked Wang Yao.\n“Okay,” said Secretary Yang’s mother.\nSecretary Yang was busy this time because he needed to accompany the inspection team from the province. But, he had arranged his men to look after Wang Yao. He particularly asked his men to treat Wang Yao well.\n“It is still early. We don’t need to have dinner here. How about going back to Lianshan?” asked Wang Yao.\n“Okay,” agreed Tian Yuantu.\nThe two of them returned to Lianshan.\nWang Yao received a call from Guo Sirou on his way back to Lianshan. Guo Sirou wanted to know where he was so that they could meet. It was coincidental that both of them were in Lianshan.\nThey agreed to meet at a cafe near the ocean. Tian Yuantu went with Wang Yao.\nI’ve seen her somewhere before, thought Tian Yuantu.\n“Let me introduce you guys.” Wang Yao introduced Guo Sirou to Tian Yuantu."

第一六二章
是夜，有人连夜出了京城，南下而去。
“郭小姐。” “别叫的那么生分了，叫我思柔就好了。” “古叔，怎么这次去可是有言在先的。”
“是，临行前，首长已经交代过了。”
“那就好。” 自己这算不算是食言了？
郭思柔接到爷爷的电话回去知道这件事情之后，内心是不愿意的，毕竟她和王耀有言在先，可是那个比自己小两岁的女子的情况他也是知道，如果换做自己是那个样子，说不定连活下去的勇气都没有了。
“就破例这一次，算我们郭家又欠他一个人情。” 这是她临行之前，爷爷说的话。
“人情，怎么还啊？ ！”
他们在岛城下了飞机，然后和早就等在这里的何启生会和。
见到来人之后，何启生显然也是有些吃惊，来之前郭思柔并未和他细说，只是说带人来去请王耀帮忙。
“有些日子不见了，启生。” 那位古姓的中年男子道。
“嗯，是有些日子。”
“路上再说吧，咱们去海曲。”
“好。” “这次来，我们是想请他帮忙，帮我想想怎么说合适。” 郭思柔道。
“请他看病？” 何启生道。
“是。” “病人呢？”
“病人不在这，在京城。” 郭思柔道。
“是那位小姐？”
何启生道。
“对。” “那可就麻烦了，您又不是不知道，他不喜欢去京城。” 何启生道。
“所以才让你帮我想想，怎么才能说动他！”
“难呢！” 何启生摇了摇头。
“他为什么不愿意去京城？”
“我要是知道就好了。”
“他岂止是不愿意去，听那意思，没有丝毫的余地，师兄，你可是要有心理准备啊。”
古姓的男子闻言皱了皱眉头，事情如果真如这两位所言，那可真就难办了。 有事求人，不能用强，难道要用“势”，可是论起“势”来，郭家更盛啊，那都不能让他改变心意！ 那到底是个什么人？
一方面他觉得事情难办，另一方面，他是越来越对那个未曾蒙面的神奇人物感兴趣了。
三人来到了海曲市最好的酒店住下。
“何叔，明天劳烦你跑一趟，看看能否将那位请过来。”
“好。”
郭思柔没有直接去连山县，目的也是不想太直接的打扰王耀，而是想先通过何启生去试探一下他的态度，如果对方的态度十分的强硬，没有任何的商量余地，那么他们只能在想别的办法了。
“希望他那固执的想法能够稍微松动一下。” 郭思柔望着外面与京城相差甚远的都市夜景轻声道。
“忙什么呢？”
“没事，在外面坐着呢。”
“又在山上啊？”
“嗯，在外面，望着天空和你打电话。” 王耀坐在小屋的外面，拿着手机在和童薇打电话。
“在岛城忙吗？”
“还好，最近比较忙。”
两个人之间的谈话，一如既往，没有山盟海誓，多事些家长里短，却更显真情。
“我下周会回去一趟。”
“这样，我去接你吧？”
“好啊，到时候我给你电话。”
“行。”
第二天，王耀尚且在熟练药丸的制作流程就被电话打断，连续的两个电话。
一个人是田远图，请他抽时间再为那位杨书记的母亲诊断一下，看看治疗的效果，因为仔细算来，她服用王耀熬制的汤剂也有一段时间了；第二个人则是何启生，他打电话的目的则是简单一些，问问王耀是否在家，说是顺道过来拜访一下。
上午十点左右，何启生来到了南山之上，带着一些简单的礼物，当然，只是包装简单一些，但是王耀已经不是从前那个没接触过什么“高档货”的青年，他一眼就看出来对方带来的这些东西价值不菲。
“不是跟你说过了吗，来不要带东西。”
何启生听后一笑，也没多说话。
“进屋说吧？”
简单的小屋，一壶清茶。
在短暂的交谈过程中，何启生将自己此次前来的目的以一种较为委婉的方式表达了出来，结果王耀依旧是毫不犹豫的拒绝。
京城，他现在是不会去的。
这个结果虽然他在来之前也早有心理准备，但是听到之后还是有些失望。
“哎，看样子得请小姐亲自来一趟了！”
“行，那就不打扰你了。”
“稍等，你和那位郭小姐都想请我去京城，目的是什么？” 王耀好奇的问了一句。
“给人看病。”
“给人看病？ 京城名医那么多，以你们的身份，只怕请个国医圣手也不是没有可能吧？” 王耀听后笑着问道。
“有些病，就是国医圣手也束手无策。”
何启生道，“而你配制的药的疗效，即使是那些国医圣手也无法比拟。”
这倒是真的，王耀也相信，因为除了那海量的知识之外还有奥妙无比的“灵草”，或许那些国医圣手的医药知识十分的渊博，经验也是异常的丰富，但是他们却没有“灵草”能够使用。
而实际上，王耀配制的那副“培元汤”并没有全部被老人服用，而是被留下了一部分，非常少的一部分，然后送到了专门的检验机构分析化验这副药的组成成分，以求能够破解并加以仿制，因为这服药的效果实在是有些太过神奇，但是让他们失望了，他们只能够分析出其中一部分的药物组成，而且都是能够在市场上找到了的药材，但是其中共有些成分他们却无法有效的分析出来，因此也没能够复制这副药方。
如同工业生产之中，三分技术，七分设备这个道理有相同之处，好的药，主要还是看药材。
如果不是那位老人下了死命令，这件事情只有寥寥的少数几个人知道，而且不准打扰对方的正常生活，否则以有些人的做派，早就迫不及待的找到王耀，然后使用各种手段，要么威逼，要么利诱，逼他就范，说出药方。
现实就是如此。
无绝对的实力，手持重宝，那与自杀无二。 “你过奖了。”
“打扰了。” 人来了，话也问了，对方的态度也知道了，他也没有在这里多呆的必要，直接告辞离开。
“替人看病，去京城？”
望着下山而去的何启生，王耀眉头稍稍皱了一下，他有预感，这次麻烦事不会这么简单就算了。
何启生开车回了海曲市，见到了郭思柔和那位古姓的男子。
“没有，我一提京城，他就毫不犹豫的拒绝了。”
“他是不是在京城有什么仇人啊？”
“这个我们倒是不清楚。” “嘶，郭小姐，您该不会也没把自己家的事情告诉他吧？” 这位古姓男子这话说的十分的委婉，但是郭思柔和何启生都能够听出他的话里的意思。
“没有。” 郭思柔摇摇头。
古姓男子道。 “如果他知道的话，或许就不会对京城之行这么抗拒了。”
郭思柔思忖了片刻道，先前她并没有将自己家的情况告诉王耀，实际上也是有自己的考量的，现在看来，适当的透露一下也是没问题的，毕竟通过这段时间的接触，她已经对王耀的性格和人品有了相当的了解了。
“是我想的太多了，这样吧，古叔您和何叔再在这里等等，我去跟他说说。”
“这事就不用您去了，我去一趟吧？” 何启生听后道。
“不，我亲自去更合适。” 郭思柔坚持道。
下午的时候，王耀又和田远图去了一趟海曲市，为杨书记的母亲看病，经过诊治，发现她体内沉积依旧的“寒毒”的确是少了一些，虽然只是一小部分，却是说明王耀配制的药物是其作用的。
“服药之后身体舒服了很多，感觉很温暖，而且前一段时间还出了汗。”
“那说明这药有效果，这样，我再配几副药，吃一个疗程看看效果如何？”
“好。”
这一次，杨书记很忙，因为省里下来了督察组需要他陪同，但是他安排了人员负责王耀的招待工作，并特意的嘱咐一定要招待好。
“时间还早，我们就不在吃饭了，回连山吧？”
王耀和田远图商量着。
两个人就回了连山。
在回去的路上，王耀接到了一个电话，电话是郭思柔打来的，问他此时在哪里，能否见见面，十分巧合，两个人此时都在连山县城之中。
两个人约好了见面的位置，一个靠海的咖啡馆。
“这个女子，似乎在哪里见过。”
“介绍一下。” 王耀为他们引荐了对方。

Chapter 162 - No Vows, but Chit-chats
Nyoi-Bo Studio Someone left Beijing and headed down South at night. “Hello, Miss. Guo,” said Gu
“You don’t need to call me Miss. Guo; just call me Sirou,” said Guo Sirou. “Uncle Gu, we have pre-arranged your trip this time.”
“Yes, the senior officer had given me all the instructions,” said Gu.
Am I breaking my promise? thought Guo Sirou.
After Guo Sirou received a phone call from her grandpa about Xue, she was reluctant to take any action. After all, she had promised Wang Yao not to tell anyone about the fact that he had treated her grandpa. But she knew about Xue, who was two years younger than her. If she were Xue, she wouldn’t have the courage to continue on living.
“We have to make an exception for Xue and owe Wang Yao another favor,” said Guo Sirou’s grandpa before she left.
How am I going to return the favor?! thought Guo Sirou.
Guo Sirou and Gu got off the airplane at Dao City, then met He Qisheng who had been waiting for them at the airport.
“Hi, Miss. Guo! Hi, Gu!” greeted He Qisheng. He was a bit surprised to see Gu, as Guo Sirou didn’t mention that Gu was going to travel with her. He Qisheng only knew Guo Sirou was going to take someone with her.
“Hi, Qisheng, long time no see,” said Gu, a middle-aged man.
“Yes, haven’t seen you for a while,” said He Qisheng.
“Let’s talk on our way to Haiqu,” suggested Gu.
“We are here to see Wang Yao. We need his help. Just help me think what I should say to him,” said Guo Sirou.
“Do you want him to treat someone?” asked He Qisheng.
“Where is the patient?” asked He Qisheng.
“The patient is not here. She is in Beijing,” said Guo Sirou.
“Are you talking about Xue?” asked He Qisheng.
“Yes,” said Guo Sirou.
“It’s going to be tricky. You know, he doesn’t like visiting Beijing,” said He Qisheng.
“That’s why I need your help to convince him,” said Guo Sirou.
“It’s going to be very hard!” He Qisheng shook his head.
“Why doesn’t he like visiting Beijing?” asked Gu.
“I wish I knew,” said He Qisheng.
“He more than just dislikes visiting Beijing. I’ve mentioned it to him before. There was no room for negotiation. You need to be prepared, Gu,” said He Qisheng.
They wanted a big favor from Wang Yao, so they couldn’t force him to do things. Maybe they could convince him using their power. Talking about power, Guo Sirou’s family had great power, which still couldn’t make Wang Yao change his mind. Who is this Wang Yao? Gu wondered.
On one hand, Gu thought it was going to be tricky to convince Wang Yao. On the other hand, Gu had become more and more curious about Wang Yao, who he hadn’t had a chance to meet.
The three of them settled in the best hotel in Haiqu.
“Uncle He, could you go to Nanshan hill and see if you can ask Wang Yao to come here?” asked Guo Sirou.
“Okay,” said He Qisheng.
Guo Sirou didn’t go to Lianshan immediately. She didn’t want to disturb Wang Yao directly. Instead, she wanted He Qisheng to test Wang Yao’s thoughts first. If Wang Yao was adamant that he didn’t want to visit Beijing, they would have to think of alternative ways.
“I hope he will not be too stubborn this time,” said Guo Sirou softly as she was looking at the night view of Haiqu through the window. It couldn’t compare with Beijing’s at all.
“Hi, what are you doing?” Tong Wei was speaking to Wang Yao on the phone.
“Nothing, I’m just sitting outside,” said Wang Yao.
“Are you on the hill again?” asked Tong Wei.
“Yes, I’m on the hill and looking at the sky while talking to you on the phone.” Wang Yao was sitting outside his cottage and speaking to Tong Wei on the phone.
“Are you busy at Dao City?” asked Wang Yao.
“Not too bad. I’m just a bit busy recently,” said Tong Wei.
The conversation between them was as usual. They never made vows, only casual chit-chat, which only strengthened the feelings between them.
“I will return to Lianshan next week,” said Tong Wei.
“Great, are you happy for me to pick you up?” asked Wang Yao.
“Yes, I’ll call you on the day,” said Tong Wei.
“Sounds good,” said Wang Yao.
… The next day, Wang Yao was interrupted twice by phone calls when he was practicing making herbal pills.
One of the calls was from Tian Yuantu who asked him to review Secretary Yang’s mother after taking the decoctions made by Wang Yao. It had been a while since she started to take the decoctions from Wang Yao. The other call was from He Qisheng, who asked if Wang Yao was at Nanshan hill. He wanted to visit Wang Yao.
He Qisheng came to Nanshan hill at 10 am and brought a simple present for Wang Yao. Of course, the only thing simple was the package. But, Wang Yao was no longer a young man who had never seen any top-shelf products. He could tell immediately the present cost a lot.
“I’ve told you that you don’t need to bring me anything,” said Wang Yao.
He Qisheng just smiled. He didn’t say anything.
“Please come inside,” said Wang Yao. …
In the shabby cottage sat a pot of tea.
He Qisheng expressed his purpose of visiting in a tactful way during his short chat with Wang Yao. At last, Wang Yao still declined him without hesitation.
Wang Yao wouldn’t go to Beijing at this stage.
He Qisheng was not too surprised after being turned down, but he was still a bit disappointed.
Well, it looks like Miss. Guo has to come here in person! thought He Qisheng.
“That’s fine; I won’t disturb you anymore. I have to go,” said He Qisheng.
“Wait, why do you and Miss. Guo want me to go to Beijing?” asked Wang Yao out of curiosity.
“We want you to see a patient,” said Wang Yao.
“See a patient? There are so many well-known specialists and experts in Beijing. It won’t be difficult for you to ask a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner to treat the patient you mentioned given Miss. Guo’s social status,” said Wang Yao with a smile.
“Even a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner couldn’t treat certain diseases,” said He Qisheng.
“Even a divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioner couldn’t treat certain diseases,” said He Qisheng. “What do you think I can do?” asked Wang Yao.
He Qisheng was telling the truth, and Wang Yao believed him. Apart from the rich knowledge Wang Yao obtained from the system, the wonderful licorice roots were also critical in treating one’s disease. Maybe those divine Chinese Traditional Medical practitioners were extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but they didn’t have licorice roots.
In fact, the Regather soup Wang Yao made hadn’t been taken by Guo Sirou’s grandpa entirely. A small proportion of the decoction was sent to be tested in a specialized lab, as Miss. Guo’s family wanted to duplicate the decoction. They were all amazed by the effect of Wang Yao’s decoctions. But, the outcome of the test disappointed them. The lab could only test some herbs in the decoction, which could be easily found in any herb stores. Some components of the decoction couldn’t be tested, so they couldn’t make the exact same decoction.
It was like industrial production—30% of which relied on technology, while 70% relied on equipment. A wonderful decoction required wonderful herbs.
If Guo Sirou’s grandpa hadn’t ordered his men not to disturb Wang Yao, and only a handful of people knew about it, some of his men would have already found Wang Yao and force him to give away the herbal formula. They wouldn’t mind getting their hands dirty to force or lure Wang Yao to tell them the ingredients of his decoctions.
This was the reality.
“I am flattered,” said Wang Yao. “Anyway, sorry to disturb you; bye for now,” said He Qisheng.
He had seen Wang Yao and tried his best to convince Wang Yao. Now he knew Wang Yao’s answer, so he didn’t need to stay anymore. He Qisheng stood up and left.
Go to Beijing to see a patient?
Wang Yao frowned as he watched He Qisheng walking downhill. He had a feeling that the whole thing was not that simple.
He Qisheng drove back to Haiqu to meet Guo Sirou and Gu.
“No; he said no as soon as I mentioned Beijing,” said He Qisheng.
“Maybe he has enemies in Beijing?” said Gu.
“Miss. Guo, haven’t you told him about who you are?” Gu spoke in a tactful way, but both Guo Sirou and He Qisheng knew what he was talking about. He was talking about Guo Sirou’s social status. He meant that Guo Sirou should tell Wang Yao what kind of family she belonged to.
“No, I didn’t.” Guo Sirou shook her head.
“No wonder. You should tell him!” said Gu. “If he knew who you were, he probably wouldn’t be resistive to Beijing!”
“Maybe you are right,” said Guo Sirou after thinking for a moment. She hadn’t told Wang Yao about her social status because she didn’t think it was necessary. But now she thought she should let Wang Yao know who she was. After knowing Wang Yao for a while, she had faith in Wang Yao’s personality and character.
“Maybe I thought too much. Well, I’ll go to see him. Uncle Gu, Uncle He, just wait for me here,”
“You don’t need to go; I can visit him again,” said He Qisheng.
“No, I think I should go in person,” Guo Sirou insisted. …
Wang Yao went to Haiqu in the afternoon with Tian Yuantu to see Secretary Yang’s mother. After checking her pulse and observing her, Wang Yao found that the cold evil inside her body had reduced, although only a little. It indicated that the decoctions Wang Yao made were working. “How have you been feeling?” asked Wang Yao.
“I have been feeling much more comfortable after taking your decoctions. I felt warm and even sweated a few days ago,” said Secretary Yang’s mother.
“Great! It means the decoction has been working. Let me make you another dose. Are you okay with taking another decoction?” asked Wang Yao.
“Okay,” said Secretary Yang’s mother.
Secretary Yang was busy this time because he needed to accompany the inspection team from the province. But, he had arranged his men to look after Wang Yao. He particularly asked his men to treat Wang Yao well.
“It is still early. We don’t need to have dinner here. How about going back to Lianshan?” asked Wang Yao.
“Okay,” agreed Tian Yuantu.
The two of them returned to Lianshan.
Wang Yao received a call from Guo Sirou on his way back to Lianshan. Guo Sirou wanted to know where he was so that they could meet. It was coincidental that both of them were in Lianshan.
They agreed to meet at a cafe near the ocean. Tian Yuantu went with Wang Yao.
I’ve seen her somewhere before, thought Tian Yuantu.
“Let me introduce you guys.” Wang Yao introduced Guo Sirou to Tian Yuantu.

Qin Mu saw numerous trees and flowers growing at an astounding speed. The trunks were tall and verdant while the spiritual air in the surroundings was so dense it seemed to be on the verge of materializing, floating around the trees like ribbons.\nAmong the flowers, there was a milky white fog which made them look abnormally bright and tender.\nAfter the long rain, the lake, moat, and river were all filled up, and numerous fishes grew frantically, transforming into fish monsters like those in Great Ruins. Some of them grew legs and jumped onto the shore. When they opened their mouths to catch the raindrops, razor-sharp teeth could be seen.\nThe bodies of the auspicious beasts in the mountains also expanded, and all kinds of bone spikes pushed out, making them look terrifying.\nThe mermaids in the lake had also become abnormally huge, and their once beautiful faces had become strange.\nThe energy in the god’s blood was too great, transforming all the lifeforms into misshapen monsters. That kind of growth couldn’t be controlled, and the places which had been touched by the blood rain first would usually grow more than other places!\nThe land and insects were also living things, so when they got drenched by the blood rain, the foothill transformed into a place reminiscent of Great Ruins.\nIn Qin Mu’s eyes, it was the powerful qi of yin and yang, four symbols, and five phases which had changed the balance in the bodies of the various lifeforms, resulting in the abnormal transformations. But it was different from his home.\nMost of the strange beasts in Great Ruins had the bloodlines of gods and devils, which were hereditary. The strange beasts in the foothills, however, had been transformed by the powerful energy in the god’s blood.\n“Which god fell? Is it that Dragon Rearing Sovereign?” Mu Qingdai asked in a low voice.\nOutside the huge hall, the entire mountain was covered with multi-colored lights and white fog, decorating the place as if it was a sacred ground. However, if they walked into the blood rain, they would probably transform like the lifeforms in the mountain.\nIf they weren’t drenched directly, they could cultivate under the roof and absorb the powerful divine energy outside. That, to a divine arts practitioner, was definitely a sacred ground for cultivation!\nBased solely on the spiritual and divine energies, the three big sacred ground of Eternal Peace Empire were much inferior. After all, no matter if it was Heavenly Devil Cult, Dao Sect, or Great Thunderclap Monastery, none of them would be able to kill a god to nourish their sacred ground.\n‘Granny had decided to stay in this desolate land to keep Li Tianxing here, but she would never have expected this place to become a sacred ground for cultivation, right?’\nQin Mu had a weird expression. He used Carefree Sword to carefully catch a drop of god’s blood and examined it. He then shook his head. “This isn’t Dragon Rearing Sovereign’s blood. His blood is dragon’s blood, but the divine energy here isn’t such…” His expression became even weirder after he said that. “I’ve seen this blood before.”\nQin Mu lowered the blade, and the droplet of blood flowed to the tip of the sword. With his wrist lifting and lowering the blade, the drop flowed continuously on the sword, never sliding off.\nSuddenly, energy burst forth from the sword, and the power in the drop of god’s blood was also activated. It was like a divine art exploding, and the surging energy clashed with the power of Qin Mu’s move, forcing him to move backward repeatedly.\nQin Mu nodded and said solemnly, “I have seen this god’s blood before. A year ago when the snow disaster suddenly stopped, it was Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor who had found the god who was responsible for it. He fought a fierce battle with him and was severely injured at the end. However, that god was also injured and bled. When I treated Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor’s injuries, I saw the blood of that god, and the energy in that blood was very similar to this.”\nBack then, Qin Mu had used a sword pellet that Mute had given him to act as a bridge to connect the remnant of the god’s divine arts with the god’s blood, activating their energies to wipe out each other and lessen the injuries. Only then was he able to treat Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor.\nHowever, the obliteration of that energy had eaten up a lot of his sword pellet. It had been given to him by Mute to deal with Village Chief and comprehend a higher level of forging techniques, sp Qin Mu had regretted what happened to it for a period of time.\nQin Mu remembered those days very well. It was because Emperor Yanfeng had been encircled by Old Dao Master and Old Rulai at the time, almost dying, and it had been Qin Mu who had saved him.\nBack then, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng had both become useless and were in a terrible state. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had even brought his wife to live in seclusion in a random valley while his wife was pregnant.\n“The god killed by Sunshot Divine Cannon is the god who sent the snow disaster!” Qin Mu’s gaze flickered between light and dark as he said softly, “This is his retribution; he deserved to die. During the snow disaster, those that suffered were the poor, and the population of Eternal Peace Empire had instantly decreased by twenty-thirty percent. The number of people who had died was even larger than in most wars.”\nThe three from Little Jade Capital didn’t say anything.\nWhen the snow disaster had erupted, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had gone to Little Jade Capital. Hermit Qing You had tried to stop him, wanting him to stay at Little Jade Capital to end the reform. The immortals of Little Jade Capital thought that it was the reform of Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng that was the root of the snow disaster, so it had to be stopped for the disaster to end.\nWang Muran and the rest had also heard about that matter.\nAfter being in a bad mood for a few days, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had still left Little Jade Capital, and not long later, the snow disaster stopped. However, Hermit Qing You frowned at that and told them that Eternal Peace Empire was still determined to proceed with its reform.\nAt that time, no matter if it was Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor or the immortals of Little Jade Capital, none of them would have expected the events to proceed to such a stage. No one would have expected a god to fall, and it was a god that had sent the disaster.\nIt was hard to say what change his death would bring to Eternal Peace Empire. No one could guess nor predict it.\nQin Mu used clear water to wash the Emperor’s Disk numerous times, but he still didn’t dare to touch it. He mixed a few herbs and let it soak in the concoction before finally picking it up. He then hung it back around his neck.\nOutside, the blood rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. The day became bright once again. Qin Mu and the rest walked out of the huge hall and rose into the air to avoid the blood water on the ground.\nThe sky was clear, with no clouds for ten thousand miles. The battle above Eternal Empire Empire was like a dream that had never happened.\nSunshine came from the west, and the blue sky looked clear as though it had been washed clean. The air seemed to have become much fresher as well.\nThe group stood in the air and examined their surroundings. Suddenly, Qin Mu looked to the north and saw a humongous object flying over.\nIt was Sunshot Divine Cannon, and it was actually hurrying over to them through the sky!\nEmperor Yanfeng and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor stood on the floating battery, their clothes fluttering in the breeze. There were numerous officials by their side as well. Qin Mu had taught Emperor Yanfeng how to control Sunshot Divine Cannon, so he was probably the one who had fired it earlier.\nOn the battery, the flames of the pill furnaces gave off white-colored rays while the divine eye in the center was slowly revolving around and giving off terrifying might.\nEmperor Yanfeng’s face was shining with happiness, and he was full of enthusiasm.\n“The divine cannon that you forged has shot down a god,” Long Yu said. “The era has changed, even a mortal can kill a god that’s high above. Human Emperor, is this a good thing or a bad thing?”\n“I don’t know. I only know that the gods can no longer behave unscrupulously!”\nQin Mu’s mind trembled. The Sunshot Divine Cannon he had forged had shot down a god that was high above. It was a kind of supreme honor!\nLong Yu looked at him and suddenly sighed meaningfully. “Human Emperor, there are many collections in my Little Jade Capital. If you have the time, I would suggest you read about the history of the previous eras.”\nQin Mu was slightly stunned. He flew over to the battery and smiled. “I still have to return to the capital and research with Sister Yuxiu on how to cultivate primordial spirit on Six Directions Realm, to push ahead with the reform. When there’s time, I will go to Little Jade Capital. The old immortals there even promised me to let me have a chance to enter Hall of Five Qi.”\nLong Yu sighed and didn’t say anymore.\nWang Muran was drunk with cultivation while Mu Qingdai couldn’t sit still. Among the three disciples of Little Jade Capital, Long Yu was the only one calm enough to browse through the numerous books their sacred ground possessed.\nSunshot Divine Cannon killing a god was admittedly shocking, but the consequences it might bring worried him.\nWang Muran and Mu Qingdai also went toward the battery, so Long Yu could only follow along.\n“Your Majesty. Imperial Preceptor!”\nQin Mu and the rest landed on the battery and greeted the people there. Eternal Yanfeng could hardly conceal his excitement as he waved his hand. He said with a smile, “There’s no need for formalities, Minister Qin! This cannon…”\nQin Mu smiled and said, “Does Your Majesty feel invigorated?”\nEmperor Yanfeng was full of enthusiasm as he laughed out loud. “Great! This cannon I used just killed a god that had sent the disaster; this is far more than invigorating. This is enforcing justice on behalf of heaven! It’s a pity that the other gods had run away too fast; otherwise, we could have let Imperial Preceptor feel great, and even Minister Qin to have a taste of it!”\nEmperor Yanfeng waved his hand and smiled. “Just don’t record it and it will be fine. I have long itching to fire at least one bloody shot. But what could I do when it exhausts that much medicinal stones? If I hadn’t heard that Minister Qin was in danger, having been kidnapped by a weird-looking god and there were gods fighting around here, I wouldn’t have had the chance to use this huge cannon!\n“That’s right, Minister Qin, come and meet this victim, the sect leader of Great White Sword Sect. He came to make an imperial appeal, saying you brought a weird-looking existence and a bunch of flood dragons to seize his Great White Sword Sect.”\nQin Mu looked behind Emperor Yanfeng and saw a white-haired elder step out with a smile.\n“This sect leader said that you and that weird man seized the treasure of his Great White Sword Sect.” Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said, “I felt that something was wrong here, so I invited Imperial Preceptor. He said that your Heavenly Saint Cult didn’t have so many flood dragons so you were most likely in danger.”\nQin Mu thanked Imperial Preceptor.\nEternal Peace Imperial Preceptor shook his head. “There’s no need to thank me, just thank Great White Sect Leader. If he didn’t come forth to submit an imperial appeal, nobody would have known you were in danger.”\nGreat White Sect Leader immediately said, “One who does not know is not guilty. I thought Cult Master Qin wanted to seize our Great White Sword Sect and swallow our treasure, so I had gone forth to the capital in a hurry. Never would I have expected to be doing a meritorious deed by this. Cult Master Qin, are there any treasures in our Great White Mountain? If Cult Master really got a treasure, could it be returned to our Great White Sword Sect?”\nQin Mu revealed a troubled expression, truly at a loss. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth to the Great White Sect Leader.\nSuddenly, a soldier flew over and reported, “Your Majesty, the god’s corpse has been found!”\nEmperor Yanfeng’s spirit was greatly roused. He waved his hand and smiled. “Bring it up!”"

第三百七十八章
血雨不大，笼罩的范围也并不广，恰恰是落在他们所在的这片山麓，秦牧看到这片山林中许多树木花草以惊人的速度疯长，树木高大葱郁，周围泛着的灵气浓郁得像是要化作实质一般，条条带带，漂浮在大树四周。
花草间也弥漫着乳白色的雾气，变得异常鲜艳和青嫩。
而下了这么长时间的雨，湖泊沟渠河流都已经满了，此刻这些湖泊河流中，许许多多的鱼儿疯长，变得像是大墟里的鱼怪一般，长达数丈。
还有些山间的瑞兽则身躯膨胀，体内冒出各种骨刺，枝枝杈杈，好不吓人。
而湖中的那些人鱼美人儿也变得异常庞大，原本美丽的脸庞也变得奇奇怪怪。
神血中的能量太多，很容易便会让这些有生命的东西长成畸形怪物，而且这种生长不受控制，先沾到血雨的地方先长，往往会比其他地方大许多！
植物昆虫也有生命，也被血雨淋到身上，让这片山麓变得如同另一个大墟一般。
在秦牧看来，这是神血中强大的阴阳之气、四象之气、五行之气改变了这些生命体内的平衡，这才产生异变，与大墟还是有所不同。
大墟中的异兽更多的是含有神魔的血脉，是遗传，而这片山麓的异兽更多是吸收神血中的强大力量产生了变异。
是那个豢龙君吗？” 慕青黛低声道。
大殿外面，漫山遍野的五颜六色的霞光和皑皑雾气，将这里装扮得如同圣地一般，但他们若是走入血雨中，只怕也会如这山中的生命一般发生变异。
但是倘若没有直接淋到血雨，便可以在这里修炼，汲取这里强大的神力，对于神通者来说，这里绝对是一个修炼的圣地！
单纯以灵力神力来看，即便是延康国的三大圣地比这里也要逊色良多，毕竟无论是天魔教还是道门或者是大雷音寺，都不可能杀掉一尊神来滋润自己的圣地。
“婆婆原本住在这个穷乡僻壤，是打算用自己困住厉天行，她只怕没有想过这里会变成一个修炼的圣地吧？”
秦牧面色古怪，用无忧剑小心翼翼的接住一滴神血，打量一番，摇头道：“这不是豢龙君的血。 他的面色突然变得有些古怪：“这种神血，我见过。”
秦牧弹剑，剑上那一滴神血流到剑尖上，他手腕运剑，那一滴神血在剑上不断流动，却始终没有从剑上滑下。
突然剑中的能量迸发，剑上那一滴神血的威力也顿时被激发，宛如一招神通爆发，澎湃的能量与秦牧这一招的威力相撞，将他逼得连连后退。
秦牧点头，郑重道：“这种神血，我的确见过。 一年多之前那场雪灾突然停止，便是延康国师寻到了那个释放雪灾的神人，与这尊神人大战了一场，他被那尊神人重创，那尊神人也受伤流血。 我帮延康国师治疗伤势，见过那尊神人的血，血中的能量与这滴血很像。”
当时秦牧用哑巴赠给他的一枚剑丸搭桥，将延康国师体内残存的神祇神通与神血相连，激发神祇神通和神血的能量，两两湮灭，缓解了延康国师的伤势，而后才能治疗延康国师。
但那枚剑丸也被这股能量磨灭得变小了许多。 剑丸是哑巴给他用来对付村长的，也是为了让他领悟到更高深的炼宝技巧的，秦牧还因此惋惜了一段时间。
那段时光秦牧记忆深刻，因为当时延丰帝也遭到了老道主和老如来围攻，差点死掉，也是他出手治疗。
当时延康国师和延丰帝都变成了废人，凄惨无比，延康国师带着夫人隐居在一片小山谷中，国师夫人还有孕在身。
“被射日神炮轰杀的那尊神，就是降雪灾的那尊神祇！” 秦牧目光晦明晦暗，轻声道：“这也是报应，他死得其所。
小玉京的三人没有说话。
雪灾爆发时，延康国师去了小玉京，清幽山人挽留他们夫妻，想要将他们留在小玉京，阻止变法改革。 小玉京的仙人们认为，延康国师和延丰帝的变法改革是导致雪灾的元凶，想要避免雪灾，只有停止变法这一条路可走。
这件事，王沐然等人也有所耳闻。
延康国师消沉了几日，后来还是离开了小玉京，没过多久雪灾停止，清幽山人还愁上眉头，对他们说延康国师还是决意变法。
当时，无论是延康国师还是小玉京的仙人们，谁都没有料到事情会发展到现在这一步，谁也没有料到，会有神陨落，而且便是当时降灾的那尊神。
这尊神被射日神炮轰杀，会给延康国带来怎样的变数，谁也无法说清，无法预料。
秦牧用清水将帝碟反复清洗十几遍，还是不敢直接拿在手里，又调配了几种药剂，清洗煮泡，这才将帝碟收起，依旧挂在脖子上。
外面，血雨渐渐停止，天空中的阴云散去，天色明亮起来，秦牧等人走出大殿，身形浮空，避开地上的血水。
外面，天色清朗，万里无云，延康国上空的那场神战仿佛是大梦一场，从未发生过一般。
阳光从西方洒落下来，碧空如洗，非常通透，空气似乎也变得清新许多。
他们站在空中，四下打量，突然秦牧看向北方，那里，一个庞然大物漂浮在空中，正在向这边驶来。
那是射日神炮的炮台，此刻竟然浮在空中，正在赶向这边！
延丰帝和延康国师站在浮空的炮台上，衣衫猎猎，炮台上还站着许许多多的延康官员。 秦牧已经将操控射日神炮的方法传授给延丰帝，应该是延丰帝射出了那一炮。
炮台上，丹炉的火光发出白色的光芒，而中心的那枚神眼状的神炮在徐徐转动，弥漫着恐怖的威能。
延丰帝满面红光，意气风发。
“你一手打造的神炮，射落了一尊神。” 龙瑜向秦牧道：“这个时代变了，凡人可以击杀高高在上的神祇了。 人皇，这是好事还是坏事？”
“我不知道。 我只知道，神已经不再可以肆意妄为了！”
秦牧心神激荡，他一手打造的射日神炮，将高高在上的神祇轰落，这是一种至高的荣耀！
龙瑜看了看他，突然意味深长道：“人皇，我小玉京中有很多藏书，若是有空的话，我建议你去读一读关于从前几个时代的历史。”
秦牧微微一怔，向飞来的炮台迎去，笑道：“我还要回京城，和毓秀妹子去研究六合境界修炼元神的事情，推动变法。 等有时间了，我再去小玉京，小玉京的老仙人们还答应过我，许我再一次进入五气殿呢。”
龙瑜叹了口气，不再说话。
王沐然醉心修炼，慕青黛也难以坐得住，小玉京的三个弟子之中惟独他最是沉稳，小玉京的许多藏书他都看过。
射日神炮轰杀一尊神祇固然震撼人心，但是可能引起的后果，却让他生出了忧虑。
王沐然和慕青黛也向炮台迎去，龙瑜只得跟上。
“陛下。
秦牧等人落在炮台上，秦牧见礼，延丰帝难掩兴奋之色，摆了摆手，笑道：“秦爱卿不必多礼！
秦牧笑道：“陛下爽吗？”
是替天行道！ 可惜那几尊神祇跑得太快，否则倒也可以让国师爽爽，秦爱卿爽爽！”
延丰帝挥了挥手，笑道：“你不记下便可以了。 朕早就惦记着开他娘的一炮，怎奈消耗得药石实在太多，若非这次听闻秦爱卿遇险，被一个怪模怪样的神掳了去，而这里又有神祇开战，朕也没有机会动用这尊大炮！
对了秦爱卿，来见见这位苦主，太白剑派的掌教。 人家来告御状呢，说是你带着一个怪模怪样的可怕存在和一群蛟龙，占领了他的太白剑派。”
秦牧向延丰帝身后看去，只见一位白发老者走了出来，面带笑容。
“这位掌教说，你和那怪人吞了他太白剑派的宝贝儿。” 延丰帝笑道：“朕当时便觉得不对，请来国师，国师说你们天圣教没有这么多蛟龙，多半是你出事了。”
秦牧向延康国师谢过。
延康国师摇头道：“不用谢我。 谢太白掌教便是，若是没有他前来告御状，谁也不知道你会遇险。”
秦教主，我那太白山中是否有什么宝物？ 若是教主果真得了宝物，能否还给我太白剑派？”
秦牧露出难色，心中着实纠结，不知道该不该告诉这位太白掌教真相。
突然有将士飞身前来，禀告道：“陛下，神尸寻到了！”
延丰帝精神大振，挥手道：“带上来！”

Chapter 378 - Enforcing Justice on Behalf of Heaven
The blood rain wasn’t heavy, and the area covered wasn’t vast. It landed just on the foothills where the group resided. Qin Mu saw numerous trees and flowers growing at an astounding speed. The trunks were tall and verdant while the spiritual air in the surroundings was so dense it seemed to be on the verge of materializing, floating around the trees like ribbons.
Among the flowers, there was a milky white fog which made them look abnormally bright and tender.
After the long rain, the lake, moat, and river were all filled up, and numerous fishes grew frantically, transforming into fish monsters like those in Great Ruins. Some of them grew legs and jumped onto the shore. When they opened their mouths to catch the raindrops, razor-sharp teeth could be seen.
The bodies of the auspicious beasts in the mountains also expanded, and all kinds of bone spikes pushed out, making them look terrifying.
The mermaids in the lake had also become abnormally huge, and their once beautiful faces had become strange.
The energy in the god’s blood was too great, transforming all the lifeforms into misshapen monsters. That kind of growth couldn’t be controlled, and the places which had been touched by the blood rain first would usually grow more than other places!
The land and insects were also living things, so when they got drenched by the blood rain, the foothill transformed into a place reminiscent of Great Ruins.
In Qin Mu’s eyes, it was the powerful qi of yin and yang, four symbols, and five phases which had changed the balance in the bodies of the various lifeforms, resulting in the abnormal transformations. But it was different from his home.
Most of the strange beasts in Great Ruins had the bloodlines of gods and devils, which were hereditary. The strange beasts in the foothills, however, had been transformed by the powerful energy in the god’s blood.
“Which god fell? Is it that Dragon Rearing Sovereign?” Mu Qingdai asked in a low voice.
Outside the huge hall, the entire mountain was covered with multi-colored lights and white fog, decorating the place as if it was a sacred ground. However, if they walked into the blood rain, they would probably transform like the lifeforms in the mountain.
If they weren’t drenched directly, they could cultivate under the roof and absorb the powerful divine energy outside. That, to a divine arts practitioner, was definitely a sacred ground for cultivation!
Based solely on the spiritual and divine energies, the three big sacred ground of Eternal Peace Empire were much inferior. After all, no matter if it was Heavenly Devil Cult, Dao Sect, or Great Thunderclap Monastery, none of them would be able to kill a god to nourish their sacred ground.
‘Granny had decided to stay in this desolate land to keep Li Tianxing here, but she would never have expected this place to become a sacred ground for cultivation, right?’

Qin Mu remembered those days very well. It was because Emperor Yanfeng had been encircled by Old Dao Master and Old Rulai at the time, almost dying, and it had been Qin Mu who had saved him.
Back then, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng had both become useless and were in a terrible state. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had even brought his wife to live in seclusion in a random valley while his wife was pregnant.
“The god killed by Sunshot Divine Cannon is the god who sent the snow disaster!” Qin Mu’s gaze flickered between light and dark as he said softly, “This is his retribution; he deserved to die. During the snow disaster, those that suffered were the poor, and the population of Eternal Peace Empire had instantly decreased by twenty-thirty percent. The number of people who had died was even larger than in most wars.”
The three from Little Jade Capital didn’t say anything.
When the snow disaster had erupted, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had gone to Little Jade Capital. Hermit Qing You had tried to stop him, wanting him to stay at Little Jade Capital to end the reform. The immortals of Little Jade Capital thought that it was the reform of Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng that was the root of the snow disaster, so it had to be stopped for the disaster to end.
Wang Muran and the rest had also heard about that matter.
After being in a bad mood for a few days, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had still left Little Jade Capital, and not long later, the snow disaster stopped. However, Hermit Qing You frowned at that and told them that Eternal Peace Empire was still determined to proceed with its reform.

It was hard to say what change his death would bring to Eternal Peace Empire. No one could guess nor predict it.
Qin Mu used clear water to wash the Emperor’s Disk numerous times, but he still didn’t dare to touch it. He mixed a few herbs and let it soak in the concoction before finally picking it up. He then hung it back around his neck.
Outside, the blood rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. The day became bright once again. Qin Mu and the rest walked out of the huge hall and rose into the air to avoid the blood water on the ground.

“Your Majesty. Imperial Preceptor!”

“That’s right, Minister Qin, come and meet this victim, the sect leader of Great White Sword Sect. He came to make an imperial appeal, saying you brought a weird-looking existence and a bunch of flood dragons to seize his Great White Sword Sect.”
Qin Mu looked behind Emperor Yanfeng and saw a white-haired elder step out with a smile.
“This sect leader said that you and that weird man seized the treasure of his Great White Sword Sect.” Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said, “I felt that something was wrong here, so I invited Imperial Preceptor. He said that your Heavenly Saint Cult didn’t have so many flood dragons so you were most likely in danger.”
Qin Mu thanked Imperial Preceptor.

Qin Mu revealed a troubled expression, truly at a loss. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth to the Great White Sect Leader.
Suddenly, a soldier flew over and reported, “Your Majesty, the god’s corpse has been found!”
Emperor Yanfeng’s spirit was greatly roused. He waved his hand and smiled. “Bring it up!”

"value": "When night came, it was bright in the palace. Han Xiao and the others accepted the invitation, changed into formal clothes given by the steward, and attended the dinner banquet. The waiter of the palace led them to the garden courtyard that was already set up as an outdoor banquet area. The warm, bright light expelled the darkness of the night. On the long tables were exquisite dishes; green, yellow, and purple fruits and vegetables; the fragrant roasted meat from unknown beats, the sweet pies with overflowing cream, and the light blue liquors made from Origin Water. Waiters roamed the place with a plate on their hand, and a musician sat in the middle and played a joyful rhythm with a strange-looking instrument. Meanwhile, the light blue-skinned Vainerian royalties chitchatted in the courtyard. The banquet had just started. At a corner of the courtyard was a pavilion, inside which were the Vain King and the supreme royalties. They looked at the courtyard entrance. Seeing that the higher world warriors had arrived, the King cleared his throat and led the others to stand up.\n“Everyone, welcome to the palace dinner banquet. I’m Galo Mio, thank you for your kind assistance,” the King said. ‘Mio’ in the Vainerian language meant king or leader, and it was how the king addressed himself.\nKing Galo was a rather built middle-aged man. As he was saying his appreciation speech, he walked down from the pavilion and welcomed Han Xiao and the rest personally. The other royals stopped their conversations and greeted them together. In front of the guests from the higher worlds, they knew that their royal status meant nothing. This was a level difference, similar to a native tribe chief facing guests from a developed civilization, but the difference was larger. The higher world warriors were dragons that were strong enough to ignore the local overlords.\nLin Ge clearly expressed that Han Xiao was the leader, so Han Xiao had no choice but to take on the conversation. They exchanged pleasantries, playing down their roles. Then King Galo told a joke that was not funny at all, yet the royalties laughed out loud like it was some kind of extremely funny tease.\nA group of Kingdom Tribune Mages walked out while holding up the Galactic Communicator. They handled it so carefully like it was some kind of holy relic. After some clicks and pressed, the hologram of an ‘ascender’ appeared in the middle of the courtyard, sparking shocked awe among the Vainerians. Han Xiao heard an old royalty beside him saying to his offspring, “Treasure this moment. We can only see an act of God like this when there are important guests.”\nThe oldest Volga curled his lips and said, “These people are so ignorant.”\nThe second brother glanced at him and said, “Weren’t we like this when we were young, too?”\nThe oldest brother had nothing to say. He turned around and saw that their youngest brother was already ramming down a beast drumstick with oil around his mouth.\nKing Galo spoke a few words with this ascender. The ascender thanked them for their help and sent the money to their accounts, then ended the communication. King Galo smiled and said, “Please enjoy the food and drinks. This is a joyous occasion.”\nThe people fitted into the atmosphere of the banquet. Royals came to talk with them from time to time with a stiff and curious attitude. There were also shows at the banquet. Not long after, a group of female dancers appeared. They jumped and turned in the crowds with seduction in their eyes.\nHan Xiao had no feeling toward these blue-skinned Vainerians at all. He drank some Origin Water liquor, turned around, and saw Aroshia staring at the dining table, seemingly hesitant as to whether she should eat any food or not.\nHan Xiao walked over, placed a hand around her shoulder out of habit, and said, “There won’t be any combat for the foreseeable future. You don’t have to use your powers. Eat something.”\nAroshia did not seem to care much about Han Xiao’s actions. She picked up a purple food and bit her lip. She did not need food to live as she automatically absorbed stray energy from the environment around her to sustain her energy use, which was supposedly a characteristic of energy lives. However, back then, Han Xiao was curious about what would happen if she ate something and convinced her to consume some food. Although Aroshia had no sense of hunger, she felt that consuming food was interesting after tasting how delicious food was. Eating then became an entertainment activity for her. Compared to her blur and extremely calm personality nine months ago, Aroshia was now more human-like.\nAroshia’s digestive system was very strong, and all her food would be decomposed into energy without any waste, so she did not need to excrete. However, a very weird accident happened. Her Energize Esper power could only be used on herself and not on anything external. Before her food was completely digested and turned into energy, the leftovers in her stomach that had yet to be digested would drop out in a splashing way. At that time, they were just about to start a battle with some enemies, and this scene shocked both sides. The food pulp had splashed out below the ball of energy that Aroshia turned into, and the areas had fallen into a deep, awkward silence.\nEver since then, Aroshia would always count the dates before consuming any food, calculating whether she would need to use her powers before her food was digested. Her Esper power strength was rocketing, and it was not much slower than the players. She was already at grade C+, only half a grade away from grade B in the mission requirements.\nAfter lifting and putting the fruit down multiple times, Aroshia took a bite in the end. Joy appeared on her face, and she passed the fruit that she had taken a bite from to Han Xiao and said, “It’s delicious, try it.”\nHan Xiao bit on the fruit. His face was then immediately covered in wrinkles. He pushed Aroshia’s hand away and said, “It’s so sour! Your taste is too different from mine, keep it for yourself.”\nHan Xiao guided her to train her energy. After spending more time with each other, Aroshia was closer to Han Xiao. Their interactions were very intimate, but there were no inappropriate thoughts. Han Xiao did not look at Aroshia as a normal female being at all. In his eyes, she was a sexless and pure energy form. Aroshia did not see herself as a female either, so these intimate actions were very natural to her.\nAfter walking to the side, Han Xiao thought that it was time to have a talk with King Galo. King Galo invited Han Xiao into the pavilion and asked with a smile, “Captain Black Star, what did you want to talk to me about?”\nHan Xiao lowered his voice and said, “I have a special kind of intuition ability. When I arrived on this planet, I felt that there was some kind of virus from space that’s here on Planet Dawn.”\nKing Galo was shocked. He sat up straight and said, “Are you saying that our planet is infected by some kind of illness‽”\n“No no, this is just a feeling. The details still require some research on if there were any similar symptoms appearing on a large scale, only then can the virus be confirmed to exist.”\nKing Galo took it very seriously and ordered the steward to arrange the intel of all the territories. The Vain Kingdom had existed for many years and had a very large intel network. The lords of the territories would submit reports of their territories once every certain period, so it was very easy to collect.”\nHan Xiao raised his eyebrow and said, “It might not be falling sick. It can also be some kind of unusual behavior, such as… sleeping more than usual?”\n“Hmm?” King Galo suddenly thought of something. “This year’s mineral production from the territories is sixteen percent less than last year, but the mines did not dry out, and the number of miners is more than last year. The factor that could have affected the production rate… can only be the duration of work. Maybe it has something to do with this?”\n“Maybe.” Han Xiao gave King Galo another look. This king seemed quite capable as he was able to notice a hidden connection between matters that did not seem to have any relation.\nThe incubation period of the mutation virus was very long, and the means of its spreading were many. The early-stage symptoms of the infected were sleeping more than usual and drowsiness. The symptoms would gradually become worse, and the infected could sleep for even two to three days. That would be when the mutation virus was close to erupting. When the virus became more mature, the incubation period would become shorter, and the symptoms would become worse. The drowsiness period might even be entirely skipped, and the symptoms would enter the next stage. According to the version time, the mutation virus at this moment was still in its infancy, so it was very hidden.\nKing Galo was rather worried. He asked if there were any solutions for it. Han Xiao shook his head and told him that he did not know what virus it was either, but they had better be cautious about it, then he left. Han Xiao had already gotten the information that he wanted and reminded King Galo, so Planet Dawn would at least not be totally unprepared. After all, this planet was one of the mission targets as well.\nDuring the incubation period of the mutation virus, Han Xiao had no solution for it. Unless he was willing to give up on the yet to start [Mutation Disaster] mission and face a huge risk by giving the seventh generation Mutation Source to Godora before the disaster began so that they could make a cure for it, which would also lead to him being questioned and suspected as well. This was not worth it at all. He could only maximize the value of the things he had when the disaster struck and caused Godora and DarkStar to fight directly.\nThe only preparation I can make for the Mutation Disaster is become stronger—everything else has to wait for the right time. …\nThe next day, Han Xiao kindly rejected King Galo’s invitation and left King City. He called the spaceship of a nearby partner out in the wild, picked up Herlous and Rezar, and headed back to Juberly Hub.\nLin Ge got Han Xiao’s communication number and left joyfully with his people as well.\nBlack Star Mercenary Group was now considered quite well known in Juberly Hub, and they could finally enjoy the same privileges that they had seen given to the Sky Ring allies when they first arrived at Juberly Hub. They did not have to queue and had priority in many services. When they walked on the street, many mercenaries and passersby greeted them with respect and kindness.\nAfter going back to the stronghold, Han Xiao knocked Rezar unconscious, placed him in an empty room as a cell, and left him there for the time being. There was something more important that needed attention at the time.\nThe International League would begin in three days!\nThe International Leagues were divided into two stages. The first stage was the point-based regular competition, where the top eight teams and top sixteen Singles contestants would enter the international finals.\nThe second stage was the finals where two teams battled each other through best of fives until the final champion was decided.\nIn China, the qualified teams were King Admiral’s Dynasty, Hao Tian’s Long Sky, and Li Ge’s Temple of God. The Singles contestants were King Admiral, SnowFlower, and Frenzied Sword.\nThe other unqualified pro players helped them to train and lent equipment to them generously. In important times like this, everyone had put down their past grudges and become united. The clubs in all the countries did the same, giving the best equipment and abilities to the contestants.\nThis was the first international competition, so other than King Admiral, who was the calmest, all the other contestants were somewhat nervous. Not only them, but all the pro players in the various countries had the same feeling, nervous and anticipation.\nA festival was around the corner, and the passion of the players had been ignited once again. The forums were filled with information on clubs from all the countries, and all kinds of analysis and prediction posts appeared. Compared to regional competitions, international competitions were much more vigorous. Players from different countries came together to discuss. It was very boisterous on the forums.\nBun-Hit-Dog enjoyed the benefits of being in a favorable position. He temporarily stopped the Black Star Series that already had sixteen episodes and started to make a special episode featuring the pre-competition interviews of the Chinese contestants in the mercenary group."

到了夜晚，宫廷内灯火通明，众人接受邀请，换了一身事务官带来的精美正装，参加晚宴，宫廷侍者带路，众人来到花园庭院，已经布置成露天的宴会场所，明亮温暖的火光驱散了夜的黑，一张张长桌摆放着精致的食物，翠绿、明黄、亮紫的植物蔬果，香喷喷的不知名兽类烤肉，溢着鲜奶的甜腻馅饼，还有用源水酿造的淡蓝色清冽酒水。 侍者端着盘子穿梭在其中，乐手坐在中央弹奏着形状古怪的乐器，一个个音符在琴弦上跳着欢快的舞步，而淡蓝色皮肤的维因人贵族则在庭院里互相举杯攀谈，宴会才开始没多久，庭院的一角是亭子，里坐着维因国王与高级贵族，频频望向庭院通道，一见到上界战士到来，国王清了清嗓，领头站起身。
“欢迎各位参加宫廷晚宴，我是加乐·米奥，感谢诸位的慷慨援手……”国王说道，“米奥”在维因语中是“王”、“领袖”的意思，也是国王的自称。
加乐国王是个挺壮实的中老年男子，一边说着感谢的发言，一边走下亭子，亲自上前迎接，没有一点架子，其他贵族纷纷停下交谈，齐齐向韩萧等人行礼致意，在上界来客面前，他们知道自己的贵族地位没有意义，这是层次的差距，有点类似原始部落的酋长面对文明社会大都市的来客，但差距还要更大一些，上界战士是足以无视地头蛇的强龙。
林格那边一副唯韩萧马首是瞻的样子，韩萧只好作为领队出来接话，说了一大通客套话，举手之劳、小事一桩云云，接着加乐国王拉近关系说了几句半点也不好笑的笑话，贵族哄然大笑，仿佛那是什么好笑至极的调侃。
一群护国法师捧着星际通讯器走出来，那小心翼翼的模样，仿佛那是什么圣物一般，操作了几下，一个“飞升者”的虚拟投像出现在庭院中央，引起维因人的阵阵惊叹，韩萧听见身旁有一名老贵族对子嗣说道：“珍稀这一刻吧，只有重要来宾莅临，我们才能看到这样的神迹。”
伏尔加老大撇了撇嘴，“这帮人真没见过世面。”
老二冷冷瞥他一眼，“我们小时候不也这样？”
老大语塞，哼唧了一声，不再说话，转头看过去，只见老三已经抓着一只兽腿啃得不亦乐乎，满嘴流油。
加乐国王与这名飞升者交流了几句，飞升者感谢诸人的帮助，将酬金打到了各人的账户，紧接着结束了通讯，加乐国王笑呵呵道：“请尽情享用食物与酒水，这是一个美妙的今晚。”
宾主尽欢，众人融入宴会的氛围，不同的文明、种族有着各自的文化风俗，众人入乡随俗，不时有贵族过来攀谈，态度拘谨又好奇，宴会还有节目，没过多久，一群舞女上场，穿梭在人群里，旋转跳跃，眼眸**。
韩萧对这些蓝皮肤维因人没有任何感觉，喝了几口源水酒，转头看见阿罗希娅盯着餐桌，似乎在犹豫要不要进食。
韩萧走了过去，习惯性揽住她的肩膀，凑上去瞧了一眼，嘿然道：“最近没有战斗，你不需要使用异能，吃点东西呗。”
阿罗希娅对韩萧的动作视若无睹，拿起一颗紫色果子，咬了咬嘴唇，踌躇不定，她本身不需要进食维生，她会自动吸取环境里的游离能量，维持自身消耗，这本是能量体生命的特征。 但韩萧以前好奇她吃东西会怎么样，逗她吃了些食物，阿罗希娅虽然没有饥饿感，但尝到食物的美味，觉得进食是一件挺有意思的事情，吃东西就成了她的娱乐活动，相比九个月前那副懵懵懂懂极其淡定的性格，现在的阿罗希娅有更多的人性化特征。

从此之后，阿罗希娅在进食之前都会掰着手指算日子，计算在食物消化之前需不需要使用异能，哦，她的异能强度增长飞快，比起玩家都不逞多让，已经达到了C+，距离任务要求的B级只剩下半个阶位了。
数次拿起又放下，阿罗希娅最后还是咬了一口果子，露出高兴的表情，把咬了一口的果子递到韩萧面前，“好吃，你试试。”
韩萧咔擦咬了一口，脸皮顿时皱成一团，推开阿罗希娅的手，“噫！ 酸的！
韩萧指导她锻炼气力，相处久了，阿罗希娅对韩萧越来越亲近，两人的互动亲密，但没有不正当想法，韩萧根本没把阿罗希娅当作正常的雌性生物看待，在他眼里，她是个没有性别之分的能量体，很纯净，阿罗希娅自身也没有身为雌性的感觉，勾肩搭背很自然。
走到一边，韩萧估摸差不多了，找到加乐国王表示想要谈一谈，加乐国王邀请韩萧进入亭子，笑问道：“黑星团长，请问你有什么事情想找我谈一谈。”
韩萧压低声音，“是这样的，我想向你打听一个状况，不瞒你说，我有一种特殊的直觉能力，在我降临的时候，就感觉到似乎有某种来自星际的病毒存在于暮之星。”
加乐国王一惊，坐直了身体，“你是说我们星球染上了某种疾病？
“不不，这只是感觉而已，具体还要你查一查最近有没有出现什么大规模的相同症状，这样才能确定是否有病毒。”
加乐国王很重视，命令事务官把各地领土的情报整理一下，维因王国存在多年，有很庞大的情报网，每段时间各个领主会递交领地报告，搜集起来很方便。
韩萧眉头一挑，“不一定是生病，也可能是反常的举动，比如……嗜睡？”
加乐国王一愣，谁没事会去查睡眠啊，大家都关起房门睡觉，谁会逢人就说昨晚的睡眠质量怎么样，没有记录过国民的睡眠情况。 “咦……”加乐国王忽然想到什么，“今年的各地领土的矿产量比起去年减少了16%，但矿脉并没有枯竭，而且开采人手比去年只多不少，能够影响产量的因素……似乎只有工作时间了，莫非与此有关？”

“我能为异化之灾做的准备，只有增加自身的战力，其他的手段都要等待时机。”
第二天，韩萧婉拒了加乐国王的再次邀请，告辞离开王都，在野外呼叫了一艘附近合作伙伴的飞船，接上梅洛斯和雷扎勒，启程回到朱伯利枢纽。
林格得到了韩萧的通讯号码，也欢天喜地带着人走了。
如今黑星佣兵团在朱伯利枢纽大小也算个名人，总算是享受到一年前第一次来到朱伯利枢纽时看到的天环盟军的待遇，不用排队，许多服务都有优先权，一行人走在路上，街上不少佣兵与路人投来善意的眼神，颔首致意。
回到驻地据点，敲晕雷扎勒，安置在一个空房间里，当作囚室，把他扔在那里暂时不管了，眼下有一件更重要的事需要关注。
国际联赛在三天后开幕！
国际赛事分为两个阶段，第一轮是常规赛，所有参赛选手分组，轮流对战，积分制，总积分前八的战队进入国际决赛，而个人赛则是积分前十六名进入决赛。
第二阶段的决赛则是捉对厮杀，五局三胜，最后决胜出国际总冠军。
华夏方面，具有参赛资格的战队是王侯将相的皇朝，昊天的长空，离歌的神殿，而个人赛选手则是王侯将相，雪染繁花，以及狂刀怒剑。
其他没有入围的职业玩家日夜陪他们实战训练，大大方方将装备借给参赛选手，在这种重要时刻，所有人放下平日里的过节，万众一心。 各国俱乐部都是这样，将最好的装备、技能交给参赛选手，每一名参赛选手身上都凝聚了最好的精华。
这是第一次在国际赛事上亮相，除了王侯将相最淡定，其他参赛玩家或多或少都有些紧张，不止是他们，各国职业玩家都是同样的心态，紧张又期待。
盛事将至，玩家的热情再度被点燃，论坛上全是各国俱乐部的资料，各路分析贴和预测名次贴都出来了，比起区域赛事，国际赛事的热烈程度更上一层楼，不同国家的玩家共同讨论，论坛上热闹非凡。
肉包近水楼台先得月，暂时停止已经做了十六集的黑星篇，制作特别篇对佣兵团里的华夏参赛玩家进行赛前采访。

Seeing that the higher world warriors had arrived, the King cleared his throat and led the others to stand up.
“Everyone, welcome to the palace dinner banquet. I’m Galo Mio, thank you for your kind assistance,” the King said. ‘Mio’ in the Vainerian language meant king or leader, and it was how the king addressed himself.
King Galo was a rather built middle-aged man. As he was saying his appreciation speech, he walked down from the pavilion and welcomed Han Xiao and the rest personally. The other royals stopped their conversations and greeted them together. In front of the guests from the higher worlds, they knew that their royal status meant nothing. This was a level difference, similar to a native tribe chief facing guests from a developed civilization, but the difference was larger. The higher world warriors were dragons that were strong enough to ignore the local overlords.
Lin Ge clearly expressed that Han Xiao was the leader, so Han Xiao had no choice but to take on the conversation. They exchanged pleasantries, playing down their roles. Then King Galo told a joke that was not funny at all, yet the royalties laughed out loud like it was some kind of extremely funny tease.
A group of Kingdom Tribune Mages walked out while holding up the Galactic Communicator. They handled it so carefully like it was some kind of holy relic. After some clicks and pressed, the hologram of an ‘ascender’ appeared in the middle of the courtyard, sparking shocked awe among the Vainerians. Han Xiao heard an old royalty beside him saying to his offspring, “Treasure this moment. We can only see an act of God like this when there are important guests.”
The oldest Volga curled his lips and said, “These people are so ignorant.”
The second brother glanced at him and said, “Weren’t we like this when we were young, too?”
The oldest brother had nothing to say. He turned around and saw that their youngest brother was already ramming down a beast drumstick with oil around his mouth.
King Galo spoke a few words with this ascender. The ascender thanked them for their help and sent the money to their accounts, then ended the communication. King Galo smiled and said, “Please enjoy the food and drinks. This is a joyous occasion.”
The people fitted into the atmosphere of the banquet. Royals came to talk with them from time to time with a stiff and curious attitude. There were also shows at the banquet. Not long after, a group of female dancers appeared. They jumped and turned in the crowds with seduction in their eyes.
Han Xiao had no feeling toward these blue-skinned Vainerians at all. He drank some Origin Water liquor, turned around, and saw Aroshia staring at the dining table, seemingly hesitant as to whether she should eat any food or not.
Han Xiao walked over, placed a hand around her shoulder out of habit, and said, “There won’t be any combat for the foreseeable future. You don’t have to use your powers. Eat something.”
Aroshia did not seem to care much about Han Xiao’s actions. She picked up a purple food and bit her lip. She did not need food to live as she automatically absorbed stray energy from the environment around her to sustain her energy use, which was supposedly a characteristic of energy lives. However, back then, Han Xiao was curious about what would happen if she ate something and convinced her to consume some food. Although Aroshia had no sense of hunger, she felt that consuming food was interesting after tasting how delicious food was. Eating then became an entertainment activity for her. Compared to her blur and extremely calm personality nine months ago, Aroshia was now more human-like.
Aroshia’s digestive system was very strong, and all her food would be decomposed into energy without any waste, so she did not need to excrete. However, a very weird accident happened. Her Energize Esper power could only be used on herself and not on anything external. Before her food was completely digested and turned into energy, the leftovers in her stomach that had yet to be digested would drop out in a splashing way. At that time, they were just about to start a battle with some enemies, and this scene shocked both sides. The food pulp had splashed out below the ball of energy that Aroshia turned into, and the areas had fallen into a deep, awkward silence.
Ever since then, Aroshia would always count the dates before consuming any food, calculating whether she would need to use her powers before her food was digested. Her Esper power strength was rocketing, and it was not much slower than the players. She was already at grade C+, only half a grade away from grade B in the mission requirements.
After lifting and putting the fruit down multiple times, Aroshia took a bite in the end. Joy appeared on her face, and she passed the fruit that she had taken a bite from to Han Xiao and said, “It’s delicious, try it.”
Han Xiao bit on the fruit. His face was then immediately covered in wrinkles. He pushed Aroshia’s hand away and said, “It’s so sour! Your taste is too different from mine, keep it for yourself.”
Han Xiao guided her to train her energy. After spending more time with each other, Aroshia was closer to Han Xiao. Their interactions were very intimate, but there were no inappropriate thoughts. Han Xiao did not look at Aroshia as a normal female being at all. In his eyes, she was a sexless and pure energy form. Aroshia did not see herself as a female either, so these intimate actions were very natural to her.
After walking to the side, Han Xiao thought that it was time to have a talk with King Galo. King Galo invited Han Xiao into the pavilion and asked with a smile, “Captain Black Star, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Han Xiao lowered his voice and said, “I have a special kind of intuition ability. When I arrived on this planet, I felt that there was some kind of virus from space that’s here on Planet Dawn.”
King Galo was shocked. He sat up straight and said, “Are you saying that our planet is infected by some kind of illness‽”
“No no, this is just a feeling. The details still require some research on if there were any similar symptoms appearing on a large scale, only then can the virus be confirmed to exist.”
King Galo took it very seriously and ordered the steward to arrange the intel of all the territories. The Vain Kingdom had existed for many years and had a very large intel network. The lords of the territories would submit reports of their territories once every certain period, so it was very easy to collect.”
Han Xiao raised his eyebrow and said, “It might not be falling sick. It can also be some kind of unusual behavior, such as… sleeping more than usual?”
“Hmm?” King Galo suddenly thought of something. “This year’s mineral production from the territories is sixteen percent less than last year, but the mines did not dry out, and the number of miners is more than last year. The factor that could have affected the production rate… can only be the duration of work. Maybe it has something to do with this?”
“Maybe.” Han Xiao gave King Galo another look. This king seemed quite capable as he was able to notice a hidden connection between matters that did not seem to have any relation.
The incubation period of the mutation virus was very long, and the means of its spreading were many. The early-stage symptoms of the infected were sleeping more than usual and drowsiness. The symptoms would gradually become worse, and the infected could sleep for even two to three days. That would be when the mutation virus was close to erupting. When the virus became more mature, the incubation period would become shorter, and the symptoms would become worse. The drowsiness period might even be entirely skipped, and the symptoms would enter the next stage. According to the version time, the mutation virus at this moment was still in its infancy, so it was very hidden.
King Galo was rather worried. He asked if there were any solutions for it. Han Xiao shook his head and told him that he did not know what virus it was either, but they had better be cautious about it, then he left. Han Xiao had already gotten the information that he wanted and reminded King Galo, so Planet Dawn would at least not be totally unprepared. After all, this planet was one of the mission targets as well.
During the incubation period of the mutation virus, Han Xiao had no solution for it. Unless he was willing to give up on the yet to start [Mutation Disaster] mission and face a huge risk by giving the seventh generation Mutation Source to Godora before the disaster began so that they could make a cure for it, which would also lead to him being questioned and suspected as well. This was not worth it at all. He could only maximize the value of the things he had when the disaster struck and caused Godora and DarkStar to fight directly.
The only preparation I can make for the Mutation Disaster is become stronger—everything else has to wait for the right time. …
The next day, Han Xiao kindly rejected King Galo’s invitation and left King City. He called the spaceship of a nearby partner out in the wild, picked up Herlous and Rezar, and headed back to Juberly Hub.
Lin Ge got Han Xiao’s communication number and left joyfully with his people as well.
Black Star Mercenary Group was now considered quite well known in Juberly Hub, and they could finally enjoy the same privileges that they had seen given to the Sky Ring allies when they first arrived at Juberly Hub. They did not have to queue and had priority in many services. When they walked on the street, many mercenaries and passersby greeted them with respect and kindness.
After going back to the stronghold, Han Xiao knocked Rezar unconscious, placed him in an empty room as a cell, and left him there for the time being. There was something more important that needed attention at the time.
The International League would begin in three days!
The International Leagues were divided into two stages. The first stage was the point-based regular competition, where the top eight teams and top sixteen Singles contestants would enter the international finals.
The second stage was the finals where two teams battled each other through best of fives until the final champion was decided.
In China, the qualified teams were King Admiral’s Dynasty, Hao Tian’s Long Sky, and Li Ge’s Temple of God. The Singles contestants were King Admiral, SnowFlower, and Frenzied Sword.
The other unqualified pro players helped them to train and lent equipment to them generously. In important times like this, everyone had put down their past grudges and become united. The clubs in all the countries did the same, giving the best equipment and abilities to the contestants.
This was the first international competition, so other than King Admiral, who was the calmest, all the other contestants were somewhat nervous. Not only them, but all the pro players in the various countries had the same feeling, nervous and anticipation.
A festival was around the corner, and the passion of the players had been ignited once again. The forums were filled with information on clubs from all the countries, and all kinds of analysis and prediction posts appeared. Compared to regional competitions, international competitions were much more vigorous. Players from different countries came together to discuss. It was very boisterous on the forums.
Bun-Hit-Dog enjoyed the benefits of being in a favorable position. He temporarily stopped the Black Star Series that already had sixteen episodes and started to make a special episode featuring the pre-competition interviews of the Chinese contestants in the mercenary group.

But the poster said that I was being paid good money by a rich man. Zeze… I really am curious, just which rich man is it? Why have I never received any money!?”\n… Xia Keke was truly angry.

Who sent it? Stand forward!”\n“Who are you trying to scare? I posted the thread, so what?” the girl who posted the thread straightened her neck. “You seduced someone else’s boyfriend, and you’re not letting anyone talk about it?”\n“So it’s you!” Xia Keke nodded with a squint of her eyes. “Who’s boyfriend did I seduce? Tell me!”\n“Enough!” Just as the girl was about to speak, Yao Yue, who sat on the bed, suddenly stood up and quickly walked in front of Xia Keke. She lowered her head and apologized. “Sorry, this is my roommate’s fault. Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf. Can we just leave it at this?”\n“It has nothing to do with you, go away,” Xia Keke squinted her eyes. “The reason I came here is to find out just which rich man is paying me with be with him! Please tell me so I can go and ask him for money!”\n“Can you stop asking!?” Yao Yue roared at Xia Keke. Her heart was in a mess. She subconsciously glanced towards Ye Zichen and her roommates, then she made up her mind. “You seduced my boyfriend and actually came over to calmly to interrogate my roommate. Do you still care about face!? I gave you face and wanted to settle everything like this. Why did you take a mile when given an inch? Do you really think that I won’t get angry?”\n“Seduce your boyfriend?” Xia Keke suddenly laughed.\n“You actually dare to continue smiling?”\nWhen Yao Yue did not reveal everything at the very beginning, she had already lost her other choices. She could only continuously use lie after lie to cover up which was a lie in the first place.\nSince more and more bystanders began to watch, she began to worry about being called shameless, and worried about how she would never be able to lift up her head in front of other people once again. Thus, she had no other choice, she could only continue on with her wrongs, and complain first.\n“Ye Zichen is clearly my boyfriend. I can tolerate a man for being fickle in love, I can turn a blind eye to him courting you outside. My roommates merely helped me let off some steam, and now that the thread has already been deleted, you actually still dared to cause trouble for me!” Yao Yue’s words completely stunned Xia Keke and Ye Zichen…\n“Have you no shame?” Xia Keke nearly laughed when she said that. She had never seen a woman as shameless as Yao Yue.\n“You clearly know who’s the shameless one here,” Yao Yue made up her mind. Now, even if Ye Zichen spoke up, she would not back down.\nSeveral days ago, she had gone over to a phone store to recover all of her past photos with Ye Zichen in order for her roommates to completely believe that Ye Zichen was her boyfriend.\n“You were clearly the one who cheated. You and Ye Zichen have already been broken up for nearly two months and you actually still dare to say that he’s your boyfriend?”\nXia Keke trembled in anger. All of a suddenly Xia Keke moved her lips, but wasn’t sure of what to say.\n“You can’t say anything now? Hehe… A mistress is a mistress!” With that, Yao Yue looked up at Ye Zichen with a cold life. “Manage your mistress. I’ve given you enough face outside, but don’t be too outrageous as to let her disturb my peace!”\nMeanwhile, the suddenly discussions got louder and louder, most of which talked negatively about Ye Zichen and Xia Keke.\nXia Keke was a girl, so there was no way she was able to endure all the insults.\nAt that moment, Ye Zichen, who had stayed silent until that point, patted Xia Keke’s shoulders, then walked forward and glanced at Yao Yue speechlessly, “Yao Yue, does it actually have to go this way?

握着手机的夏可可小脸一片铁青，叶子晨狐疑的将手拽了过来，当看到手机上面的帖子之后，他的拳头骤然握紧。
掏出手机，叶子晨直接给苏逸云拨通了电话。
“校园网论坛现在是谁在管理，你赶紧让那人将关于夏可可的帖子删掉，在给我查一下IP是哪里的！”
“怎么了？” 话筒对面的苏逸云愣了一下。
“校园网出了一篇关于夏可可的帖子，帖子内容全都都是刻意中伤她的，现在跟贴数跟多，帖子也高亮置顶了！”
“还有这事，我立刻就去处理。”
将电话挂断，叶子晨抬起头就看到夏可可的面若寒霜的紧紧的握拳。
这也不怪她会这么生气，实在是帖子的内容太过分。
“可可，我已经在让苏逸云去将帖子删掉了，你消消气，查出来是谁我一定会帮你出气的。”
这一幕引得店内的顾客都不禁回过头，夏可可也在这时眯着眼睛哼道。
“我真的有点火了。”
淡淡的金龙虚影从她的身体中释放，店内的顾客都不进缩了缩脖子，赶紧将头转回去，不敢在看这边的情况。
叶子晨宽慰道。 “我不在意！”
夏可可淡淡一笑，那精致脸冷的都让人忍不住打个寒颤，“说我是小三嘛，我认了！ 不过这帖子的人说我是被富豪包养，啧啧……我现在真的特别好奇，到底是哪位富豪给我包了，我怎么就从来没收到钱呢！”
夏可可真的是动了肝火，别说是她，就算是叶子晨也让这帖子气的不轻。
就在这时，桌上叶子晨的手响起，来电显示是苏逸云。
“怎么样？”
“帖子已经让我托人给删了，发贴的IP我也查出来了。”
“告诉我位置！”
那个发帖的女孩捂着脸站在房间里都不敢动，姚月面若寒霜的坐在床上，心脏扑通扑通的跳个不停。
“这下真的全都结束了。”
帖子她第一时间让那女孩删掉，可当她们准备删除的时候，系统提示帖子已经被删。
在得到这消息之后，她的心便一沉在沉。 “姚月，别那么生气嘛！
那女人抢你男朋友，给她点教训也好呀！”
富家女宽慰着开口，姚月紧咬着嘴唇摇头道。
砰。
宿舍的门一脚让人踹开，夏可可嘴角噙着淡漠的冷笑，朝着房间里的众女看了一眼。
“谁发的。”
在她的后面是脸色有些尴尬的叶子晨，在他们俩人的后面是社管阿姨。
“不能打架，学校有规定，你们这些小年轻是不是不想在科技大呆了。”
社管阿姨声色俱厉的开口，夏可可恍若未闻一般淡漠的看着宿舍里的众人道。 “我再问一遍，谁发的，站出来！”
“你吓唬谁呀，帖子就是我发的，怎么了？” 发帖的女孩脖子一挺，道，“你勾引人男朋友，还不让人说了。”
“是你呀！” 夏可可眯眼轻笑着点头道，“我勾引谁男朋友了，你告诉我！”
“够了！” 就在那女孩准备开口时，坐在床上的姚月突然间站了起来快步走到夏可可的面前，低头认错道。 “对不起，这事儿是我室友做的不对。
“跟你没关系，上边待着去。” 夏可可眯着眼睛，道，“我来这里，就是想要明明白白的知道，我到底让哪位富豪包养了！ 请告诉我，我好找他要钱去呀！”
“能不能别问了！” 姚月朝着夏可可大吼了起来，她现在的心都乱成了一团，下意识的朝着叶子晨还有周围的室友看了一眼，旋即她心一横道。
“勾引你男朋友？” 夏可可突然间笑了。
“你还有脸笑？”
在一开始没有摊牌时，姚月就已经没有退路了。 她只能用一个又一个的谎言，来填补这本就是谎言的一切。
现在围观者越来越多，她怕自己承担上不要脸的恶名，她怕以后在人前抬不起头，那么她别无选择，只能将错就错，恶人先告状。
“叶子晨明明是我男朋友，不过男人花心我能容忍，他在外面包了你，我也能睁一只眼闭一只眼。 我的室友不过就是帮我出口气，况且现在帖子都已经删了，你竟然还敢来我这里找麻烦！”
夏可可再说出这句话的时候都要笑了，长这么大她还从来没见过这么无耻的女人。
“到底是谁不要脸，你心里最清楚。” 姚月也是豁出去了，现在就算是叶子晨发声，她也绝对不虚。
前几天为了让室友彻底相信叶子晨是她的男友，她特意去手机店将以前俩人的合照全都恢复。
“明明是你劈腿，你和叶子晨都分开快俩月了，你现在还敢说他是你男朋友？”
夏可可几乎让她气的发抖，她蠕动着嘴唇一时间都不知道该开口说些什么反驳她。
话音一落，姚月又抬起头看向叶子晨冷笑道。 “管好你的小三，在外面我给你足够的面子，可你也别太过分让她来打扰我的安宁！”
渐渐的周围的议论声越来越大，其中说的全都是关于叶子晨和夏可可的负面言论。
夏可可本身就是个女孩，她怎么可能受得了这种污蔑。
就在这时，一直保持着沉默的叶子晨突然间抬起手拍住她的肩膀，旋即朝着前面走了一步，目光中带着些许无奈的看着姚月开口道。 “姚月，事情一定要闹成这样么？

Ye Zichen took out his phone and directly called Su Yiyun. “Ye-zi!”
“Who is in charge of the school’s forums? Hurry up and get that person to delete the thread about Xia Keke, then help me find out the IP of the thread starter!”
“What happened?” Su Yiyun was slightly stunned on the other end of the call.
“A thread about Xia Keke was posted on the school’s forums. Everything in it was intentionally harming her. Right now, there are tons of replies, so the thread is right at the top!”
“That happened? I’ll immediately go and deal with it.”
When Ye Zichen hung up the call, he looked up and saw Xia Keke’s icy face as she clenched her fist tightly.
No wonder she’s so angry, the contents of the thread were way too outrageous.
“Keke, I already got Su Yiyun to delete the threads. Calm down, I’ll definitely help you get even after finding out who did it,” Ye Zichen handed Xia Keke’s phone over.
Xia Keke took it, then directly smashed it onto the floor. This scene caused the customers within the store to look over at them.
At that moment, Xia Keke also squinted her eyes with a snort, “I really am a bit mad now.”
A faint mirage of a golden dragon appeared from her body. All of the customers within the store couldn’t help but shrink their necks, then hurriedly turned around without daring to look over.
“Don’t mind it so much!” Ye Zichen comforted her.
“I don’t mind!” Xia Keke smiled, while the coldness on her delicate face caused people to tremble. “I submit when they said that I’m a mistress! But the poster said that I was being paid good money by a rich man. Zeze… I really am curious, just which rich man is it? Why have I never received any money!?”
… Xia Keke was truly angry. Not only her, even Ye Zichen was furious about the thread. Buzz.
At that moment, Ye Zichen’s phone rang, while the caller ID revealed that it was Su Yiyun.
“How is it?”
“I already got someone to delete the thread, and I’ve also found the IP of the original poster.”
“Tell me the location!”
The girl, who posted the thread, covered her face and didn’t even dared to move as she stood in the room. Yao Yue sat on the bed opposite her with an ice-cold gaze, while her heart beat quickly.
It really is all over now.
She had already told the girl to delete the thread immediately, but just as they were about to do so, the system already gave them a notification saying that it was already deleted.
Ever since Yao Yue received the news, her heart sank further and further.
“Yao Yue, don’t be so angry! That woman stole your boyfriend, so it’s good to teach her a bit of a lesson!” the rich girl comforted.
Yao Yue bit her lips and shook her head, “You don’t understand.”
Bang.
At that moment, the door to the dorm was kicked open. Xia Keke walked in with a cold and indifferent smile as she swept her gaze over the girls in the room.
“Who posted it?”
Ye Zichen stood behind her with a slightly awkward expression, while the dorm manager stood behind them.
“No fighting. That’s the school’s rules. Do you youngsters not want to stay in Polytechnic University anymore?” the dorm manager scolded them.
Xia Keke looked at everyone in the dorm with an indifferent gaze as if she didn’t hear what the dorm manager said, “Let me ask you again. Who sent it? Stand forward!”
“Who are you trying to scare? I posted the thread, so what?” the girl who posted the thread straightened her neck. “You seduced someone else’s boyfriend, and you’re not letting anyone talk about it?”
“So it’s you!” Xia Keke nodded with a squint of her eyes. “Who’s boyfriend did I seduce? Tell me!”
“Enough!” Just as the girl was about to speak, Yao Yue, who sat on the bed, suddenly stood up and quickly walked in front of Xia Keke. She lowered her head and apologized. “Sorry, this is my roommate’s fault. Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf. Can we just leave it at this?”
“It has nothing to do with you, go away,” Xia Keke squinted her eyes. “The reason I came here is to find out just which rich man is paying me with be with him! Please tell me so I can go and ask him for money!”
“Can you stop asking!?” Yao Yue roared at Xia Keke. Her heart was in a mess. She subconsciously glanced towards Ye Zichen and her roommates, then she made up her mind. “You seduced my boyfriend and actually came over to calmly to interrogate my roommate. Do you still care about face!? I gave you face and wanted to settle everything like this. Why did you take a mile when given an inch? Do you really think that I won’t get angry?”
“Seduce your boyfriend?” Xia Keke suddenly laughed.
“You actually dare to continue smiling?”
When Yao Yue did not reveal everything at the very beginning, she had already lost her other choices. She could only continuously use lie after lie to cover up which was a lie in the first place.
Since more and more bystanders began to watch, she began to worry about being called shameless, and worried about how she would never be able to lift up her head in front of other people once again. Thus, she had no other choice, she could only continue on with her wrongs, and complain first.
“Ye Zichen is clearly my boyfriend. I can tolerate a man for being fickle in love, I can turn a blind eye to him courting you outside. My roommates merely helped me let off some steam, and now that the thread has already been deleted, you actually still dared to cause trouble for me!” Yao Yue’s words completely stunned Xia Keke and Ye Zichen…
“Have you no shame?” Xia Keke nearly laughed when she said that. She had never seen a woman as shameless as Yao Yue.
“You clearly know who’s the shameless one here,” Yao Yue made up her mind. Now, even if Ye Zichen spoke up, she would not back down.
Several days ago, she had gone over to a phone store to recover all of her past photos with Ye Zichen in order for her roommates to completely believe that Ye Zichen was her boyfriend.
“You were clearly the one who cheated. You and Ye Zichen have already been broken up for nearly two months and you actually still dare to say that he’s your boyfriend?”
Xia Keke trembled in anger. All of a suddenly Xia Keke moved her lips, but wasn’t sure of what to say.
“You can’t say anything now? Hehe… A mistress is a mistress!” With that, Yao Yue looked up at Ye Zichen with a cold life. “Manage your mistress. I’ve given you enough face outside, but don’t be too outrageous as to let her disturb my peace!”
Meanwhile, the suddenly discussions got louder and louder, most of which talked negatively about Ye Zichen and Xia Keke.
Xia Keke was a girl, so there was no way she was able to endure all the insults.
At that moment, Ye Zichen, who had stayed silent until that point, patted Xia Keke’s shoulders, then walked forward and glanced at Yao Yue speechlessly, “Yao Yue, does it actually have to go this way? You still have the chance to stop!”

第一百四十九章
孔涛站了起来殷勤的介绍道：“顾少，我来介绍一下，这位是石马镇的老大岳重。 岳重，这位是炎王顾之行的公子顾少顾炎翼、顾菲菲、马副书记的公子马布、公安局古局长的公子古力、公安局副局长张辉的公子张阳，宁书记的公子宁子轩。 岳重，请您让人放了宁少吧。
岳重挥挥手，孔天誉这才松开了对宁子轩的压制。
我要杀了你全家！” 酒醉的人根本不可理喻，宁子轩一摆脱孔天誉的压制，旋即双眼赤红，如同猛虎一般向着孔天誉冲了过来。
岳重淡淡的发话道：“让他安静一下！”
孔天誉狞笑一下，一脚踢在了宁子轩的脚下，宁子轩旋即摔了一个狗吃屎是，牙齿都被崩掉了两颗。
孔天誉微微弯腰，狠狠一记手刀劈在了宁子轩的脖子上。 宁子轩立即晕了过去。
看到岳重一行在知道他们的身份之后依然如此彪悍，这些陇海市基地的**们眼皮不禁跳了几下。
顾炎翼和几名陇海市基地的**在岳重的对面的沙发上坐下，一名名打扮风骚的女人旋即来到了他们的身边。
顾炎翼向着岳重露出了一个十分有魅力的笑容道：“原来您就是岳重。 百闻不如一见，我原以为能够带人收复石马镇的人必定是一名身材魁梧的粗豪中年大汉。 没有想到您这么年轻、斯文。”
听了顾炎翼的话语，那几名高官子弟看着岳重的目光又有所不同，多出了一丝敬畏。
可是这些信息灵通的高官子弟却是十分清楚。 他们还知道，岳重收复石马镇以后，还收复了一个PLA的军营，获得了一个营的武器装备。 整个石马镇的战斗力已经不比陇海市幸存者基地弱多少。
岳重作为一个能够与陇海市幸存者基地平起平坐势力的首领，唯一缺少的只有大义的名分。 缺少大义的名分，虽然石马镇也在发布电台电波号召周围的幸存者赶来石马镇，可是对于幸存者的吸引力远远比不上陇海市幸存者基地。
饶是如此，这些高官子弟也不愿意得罪岳重。 他们可以利用手中的权势和地位欺负一下普通人，却不会愚蠢的招惹比他们强大的敌人。
岳重客套道：“哪里！”
岳重虽然不惧这些高官子弟，却也不会拒绝对方的好意。 说不定哪一个时候，就有用得上对方的地方。
顾炎翼和岳重之前遇见的草包纨绔子弟不同，精通许多领域的知识，在交谈之中妙语连珠，把气氛搞得十分的活络。
岳重也不得不承认，顾炎翼是他见过最出色的男人之一。 除了战斗力和领导力之外，岳重十分清楚自己的交际能力、见识、礼仪风度等种种方面都比不上顾炎翼。
事实上，世家子弟多纨绔，可是世家子弟之中的精英也远比普通人优秀。 他们掌握最丰富的资源，从小就在成功父辈的耳濡目染之下成长，若是肯努力发奋，自然要比普通人出色许多。
在这天上人间做生意的小姐们一个个都是人精，看到那大名鼎鼎的顾少都对岳重客客气气，一下就明白了岳重地位之高远在她们的想象之外。 就变得更加曲意奉承起来。
只有那气质清冷，相貌美丽，一副楚楚可怜模样的方楚依然和岳重保持着一点距离，也没有太逗和岳重亲密的意思。
突然之间，房门再次被踹开，一伙人大步的走了进来。
一名身穿军服，染着黄发，一脸痞相挂上尉军衔，搂着两名衣衫暴露漂亮女人的年轻男子越众而出桀骜一笑道：“我说是谁把方楚叫走了，原来是顾少。 顾少，这里那么多女人，你就把方楚让给我们好了。
两名身穿军服的战士旋即大步的向着方楚走去，不由分说伸手就向方楚抓了过去。
岳重直接将方楚搂入怀中，拿起一杯饮料喝了一口，淡淡道：“给他们点教训！”
孔天誉和另外一名直属队员王杰顿时从沙发上暴起，狠狠一拳向着那两名战士轰去。
孔天誉、王杰都是跟随岳重一直征战在最前线的强化者，王杰是八级强化者、孔天誉是九级强化者，每个人的实力都远超普通人，身上的变异水蛇皮护甲能够卸掉大部分的冲击力。
那两名战士也是军中的精锐，他们也迅速的反应过来与孔天誉、王杰两人扭打在了一起。 只是仅仅三个回合，那两名军中的精锐战士就被孔天誉、王杰两人揍得趴在了地上。
岳重向着顾炎翼问道：“这人是谁？ 怎么这么嚣张？”
顾炎翼很快将那桀骜年轻人的身份告诉了岳重：“他就是雷城雷营长的独生子雷胜！ 在他右边的是袁亿袁连长的儿子袁刚，左边的是成威成连长的儿子成光。”
雷胜看到自己的两名部下被岳重的人揍趴在了地上，脸色阴晴不定静静地盯着岳重，突然他脸色一变，惊疑不定道：“你是岳重？”
雷胜就曾经看见过岳重的照片和资料。 只不过那间谍是远远拍照，照得相片有些模糊，雷胜也是从岳重的体态特征和顾炎翼对岳重的态度推断出岳重的身份。
岳重淡淡道：“我是岳重。”
雷胜向岳重一笑道：“原来是岳重岳队长。 给我个面子，把我的保镖放开。”
岳重挥挥手，孔天誉、王杰才将那两名战士放开：“放开他们！”
那两名战士一起身，旋即有些羞愧的看了雷胜一眼，灰溜溜的回到了雷胜身后站着，恨恨的瞪着孔天誉和王杰。

Chapter 149: Switching from Arrogance to Deference
Kong Tao stood up and gave an introduction: “Young Gu, let me introduce. This is the boss of Stone Horse Village, Yue Zhong. This person is the son of the Flame King Gu. Young Gu is Gu Yanyi, and this is Gu Feifei. This is the son of Vice-Secretary Ma, Ma Bu.

Yue Zhong waved his hand. Kong Tianyu finally released Ning Zixuan.
“I will kill you! I will kill your whole family!” Drunk people don’t listen to reason. As soon as Ning Zixuan was released from Kong Tianyu, his eyes turned blood red. He immediately rushed like a tiger towards Kong Tianyu.
Yue Zhong duly said: “Make him calm down!”
Kong Tianyu ruthlessly smiled and kicked Ning Zixuan in the leg. Ning Zixuan immediately fell flat on his face, and two of his teeth got knocked out.
Kong Tainyu slightly stooped, and he ruthlessly chopped a knife hand at Ning Zixuan’s neck. Ning Zixuan immediately passed out.
After seeing Yue Zhong’s party and knowing their status, as well as their valiant nature, these Long Hai City base people couldn’t help but raise their eyelids.
Gu Yanyi and the several Long Hai City base sons sat on a sofa opposite Yue Zhong. A sexily dressed woman immediately came to their side.
Gu Yanyi revealed an extremely charming smile to Yue Zhong: “So you are Yue Zhong. Seeing for oneself is a hundred times better than hearing from others.

Although Yue Zhong didn’t fear these sons of the high level officials, he yet wouldn’t refuse their good intentions. He couldn’t be sure at which time he could use their positions. Making some friends is probably not a mistake, even if they are friends with intersecting interests.
Gu Yanyi was different than the previous idiot sons Yue Zhong had met. He was proficient in several spheres of knowledge. His witty conversation made the atmosphere very active.
Yue Zhong couldn’t help but admit that Gu Yanyi is one of the most remarkable men he had ever met. Apart from combat and leadership ability, it was extremely clear to Yue Zhong that his conversation skills, knowledge and etiquette couldn’t be compared with Gu Yanyi.
There are many sissy boys in aristocratic families, but the cream of aristocratic families were much more outstanding than ordinary people. They have the most abundant resources, and they grow up under the influence of their successful fathers. If they work hard, naturally they will be much more outstanding than ordinary people.
All of the women doing business in the Celestial World were sophisticated. They were all polite to Yue Zhong after seeing the renowned Young Gu. They understood Yue Zhong’s position is much higher than they believed. They became even more flattering. Liu Hong at Yue Zhong’s side became even more charming, and she used all kinds of methods to tempt Yue Zhong.
Only the cold tempered beautiful Fang Chu still maintained some distance with Yue Zhong, and she didn’t have any intimate thoughts with him.
Suddenly the door was once again kicked open. A large group of people entered.
One young man wore military clothes, and he had dyed blonde hair. He had the rank a Captain in the army. He was holding on to two women wearing skimpy clothing, and he laughed saying: “I said who who made Fang Chu leave. It looks like Young Gu. Young Gu, there are so many women here. How about giving Fang Chu to me. I’ll take care of your Celestial World bill today! Give her to me, I’ll take her back to my suite.”
Two men wearing military clothes immediately walked over to Fang Chu. They extended their hands and grabbed towards Fang Chu without a word.
Yue Zhong pulled Fang Chu into himself. He took a drink from his cup and simply said: “Teach them a little lesson!”
Kong Tianyu and another direct subordinate, Wang Jie, immediately sprung up from the sofa. They ruthlessly punched at the two military men.
Kong Tianyu and Wang Jie were the best evolvers that constantly followed Yue Zhong into battle. Wang Jie is a level 8, and Kong Tianyu is a level 9. Their strength far exceeded a normal person. The mutated river snake armor could also stop a large portion of attacks.
The two soldiers were elites in the military. They quickly reacted to Kong Tianyu and Wang Jie’s attack. Only in three rounds of blows, the two elite soldiers were kneeling on the ground.

Lei Shen saw his two subordinated knocked to the ground by Yue Zhong’s men. His face was volatile staring at Yue Zhong, but then it suddenly changed. He alarmingly said: “You are Yue Zhong?”
Lei Cheng viewed Yue Zhong as a potential enemy. He sent spies to take a picture of Yue Zhong from far away. Lei Sheng saw Yue Zhong’s photo in the past. But the photo the spy took was a little blurry. Lei Sheng deduced Yue Zhong’s identity from his body shape and Gu Yanyi’s attitude towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong plainly said: “I am Yue Zhong.”
Lei Sheng smiled at Yue Zhong: “So it is Captain Yue Zhong. Give me some face and release my bodyguards.”
Yue Zhong waved a hand. Kong Tianyu and Wang Jie released the two soldiers: “Release them!”
The two soldiers turned and immediately looked ashamed. They drifted back behind Lei Shen like smoke, and they hatefully stared at Kong Tianyu and Wang Jie.

第七十五章
郝仁回头看看时间，也跟着发现餐馆里的客人已经寥寥无几。 “老板，结账！”
他掏出皮夹子，急忙叫道。
服务生过来收钱，接着，郝仁和谢雨嘉匆匆走出德馨馆，发现外面的露天场地也已经冷清了。
“这下怎么办……”谢雨嘉拿着她的小包，有点着急。
她从未在宿舍和自己家之外的地方过夜，错过宿舍关门的时间，这样的事情对她而言也是第一次发生。
“没事的，阿姨不一定睡着的。” 郝仁骑自行车带着她，穿过马路，进入宿舍区，安慰她。
回到南区的3号女生寝室楼的门口，他们发现在一楼的值班室的灯光已经灭掉，也就说明楼管阿姨已经睡了。
而整个宿舍区的所有寝室的窗口里都几乎暗着，也就证明此刻正好过了熄灯时间。
谢雨嘉急匆匆的跳下自行车，冲到值班室的窗口，大声的叫喊：“阿姨！ 阿姨！”
然而里面半天都没有动静，看样子负责寝室楼的阿姨已经熟睡。
郝仁知道他们男生7号寝室楼的阿姨睡的很晚，而且就算睡着，也是一喊就醒的，也就是他现在如果回去敲门，肯定还能进入寝室楼。
但谢雨嘉没办法回寝室，他又怎么能丢下谢雨嘉一个人在外面？
谢雨嘉叫了好几声都没办法把她们楼管阿姨叫醒，于是回头焦急的望着郝仁，“现在怎么办？”
看到平时总是充满自信的班长现在也手足无措，郝仁这个经常跟着赵嘉胤在外面通宵的“坏学生”的经验派上用场，“要不……去网吧过一夜？”
谢雨嘉愁眉不展，犹豫的问道。
网吧环境比较差，空气也差，而且班长又不怎么玩游戏，把她带到那种地方，好像也不是很合适。
郝仁想了想，再试探的问道，“要不……住学校外面的宾馆？”
谢雨嘉吃惊的看着他，想了一下，问道，“你以前住过？”
郝仁的声音越说越轻，就怕谢雨嘉觉得他太“懂行”。
“那种地方，安全吗？” 谢雨嘉想了想，又问了一个相同的问题。
“安全，应该还安全吧。” 郝仁不是很肯定的回答她。
宾馆里人员复杂，这种事情，他也偶尔听说，要真把谢雨嘉放在宾馆里，他自己回寝室，还真不是很放心。
郝仁咳嗽两声，故作正义的，又有点怯生生的问道。
谢雨嘉迟疑片刻，终究还是摇头。
郝仁心里的期待落空，于是说道，“要不然打电话给马丽娜她们，让她们下来敲阿姨的门，再帮忙把门打开？”
谢雨嘉有些无奈的说道。 她晚上出来就听一个讲座，所以就没带手机，哪知道会发生这样的事情。
郝仁说道。 因为大学很多课程都是自己调整自己选课，班级的结构本来就松散，仅有的几个女生们自己扎堆，跟男生们基本没有沟通。 “还有大半个晚上，总要找地方过吧。”
谢雨嘉拍了半天窗子都没有把阿姨叫醒，也只能放弃了。
不过，好在还有郝仁陪她，她心里还不至于太绝望。
也就在这个时候，郝仁灵光一闪，“要不然去KTV通宵吧！ 半夜12点开始，一个包房通宵到明天六点，才80块钱！”
这个可以！” 对于这个提议，谢雨嘉终于表示同意。
留在这里冷飕飕的又不能进入寝室楼，既然决定下来，郝仁再载着谢雨嘉，重新回到宏基广场。
而在骑车的时候，他也在不断回想自己刚才的一个个提议，发现所有的提议之中，自己最期待的就是跟谢雨嘉一起在宾馆过夜。
靠靠靠，我在期待什么呀！
郝仁一边骑着自行车，一边自我检讨。
而坐在后面的谢雨嘉却没想那么多，她只是觉得大半夜的，郝仁很好心的陪她，让她有点感动。
都是因我而起，要不是我说的太投入忘了时间，又怎么会害的郝仁自己也回不了寝室，这大半夜的还陪我在外面闲逛。
谢雨嘉咬着嘴唇，坐在后面自我检讨着。
两人来到宏基广场二楼的“金色年华”KTV，点了一个小包房，包一个通宵。
看到大半夜的只有两个人来唱歌，领他们去包房的男性服务员的眼里都带着一些暧mei的神色。
“包房里只能唱歌，不能做其他事情。” 把他们送到包房里，服务生提醒道。
“其他事情……”谢雨嘉刚要开口询问，忽然反应过来，脸色变得通红。
“我的意思是，”服务员看到谢雨嘉瞬间面红耳赤，再补充一句，“包房里只能唱歌，不能睡觉。 这是规定。
谢雨嘉喃喃一句，看到郝仁用古怪的目光望着她，红色哗的一下又蔓延到脖子根，急忙走进包房，选一个角落坐下来。
服务员把注意事项跟郝仁都说清楚，把音响打开，然后走出包房。
谢雨嘉拘束的坐在沙发上，眼睛四处眺望，脸色还红着呢。
“放心吧，这里很正规的。” 郝仁随便拿起一个话筒放到自己身边，“以前跟赵嘉胤他们几个来唱过，不过像我们男生，还是去网吧比较多。”
“我知道，我以前跟马丽娜她们来唱过，这里至少比网吧和宾馆都安全。” 谢雨嘉点点头。
看到谢雨嘉眼睛有点血丝，郝仁知道她困了，说道，“班长，你睡吧，我给你守着就行了。”
我跟赵嘉胤他们经常通宵的！
习惯了！” 郝仁按着她的肩膀，让她躺下去，“放心吧，我不会睡着的，我给你守着，没问题的！”
谢雨嘉用牙齿咬着薄薄的嘴唇，不好意思的望着他，想说什么，又不知该说什么。
而郝仁脱下自己的外套，披到谢雨嘉的身体上，“睡着可能会有点冷，反正班长你睡吧，我在这儿随便听听歌，唱唱歌，不会睡着的。”
他站起来，到小屏幕随便点了一堆热门歌曲，再坐回谢雨嘉身边。
这个郝仁，还真是“好人”……谢雨嘉躺在沙发上，眯着眼睛看着他，心中感慨。
而郝仁拿着话筒，听着音响里熟悉的旋律，把原唱调出来，随意的哼着。 在班长面前，还真是不好意思去唱啊！
谢雨嘉假装睡着，透过眼缝，悄悄的看着他。

Hao Ren turned around to look at the time. Then, he realized there were only a few people left in the restaurant.
“Sir, bill please!” he took out his wallet and said in a hurry.
The waiter collected the money, and Hao Ren and Xie Yujia hastily walked out of Dexin Restaurant and realized that the outdoor area of the square was already empty.
“What now…” Xie Yujia looked a little worried as she held the purse in her hand.
She had never spent a night outside of her home or dorm! It was the first time for her to have missed the curfew time of the dorm.

"value": "Book 10 Chapter 46\nThere is a huge secret room built underneath the imperial study. Lei Mountain House, given to Qin Zheng by Qin Yu previously, is in there.\nQin Zheng’s first reaction was almost concurrently with Reverend Ming Liang’s sudden appearance in front of him. He gave the long, narrow table in the imperial study a slap. His whole body immediately went into a tunnel beside the table as if he was in free fall and the tunnel shut right afterwards.\nAs an emperor, Qin Zheng naturally has to take precautions against assassins and this tunnel was dug because of that reason.\nWith this slap, his body fell almost at the same time as Wu Kongxue let out a deep roar. When he had just gone into the tunnel, that shock wave reached the place where he had been at a moment before. It was extremely dangerous.\nQin Zheng is not powerful but he is a Xiantian expert at any rate. Moreover, because he is the emperor a dynasty, his mentality is even much stronger than that of an ordinary loose practitioner. After the Heaven-Sundering Diagram had been snatched, he simply did not care who had obtained it and immediately dodged into Lei Mountain House in the underground secret room.\nQin Zheng has escaped.\nBut the nearly 20 loose devils at the scene pay no attention to this at all. They are all focusing their attention on Reverend Ming Liang.\n“Ming Liang, this Heaven-Sundering Diagram is ours. Put it down and we’ll let you leave.” Wu Kongxue says in a loud and clear voice. But his terrifying energy is shaking nonstop throughout the area within several li of him. The space in his surroundings is shaking unceasingly too.\nIf a 12th tribulation loose devil attacks with all their might, they can even create spatial rifts in the mortal world. So, it is certainly easy for Wu Kongxue to only shake the space around him as he is doing.\nSeeing that teleportation is unusable, Reverend Ming Liang lets out a cold humph without saying anything. His body immediately turns into a beam of light and flies straight south in a rampageous manner.\n“Leave the diagram behind.”\nWu Kongxue shouts loudly, his voice resounding through the entire capital. At the same time, he launches an extremely terrifying attack. Various blood-red beams of light shoot out from his hands and bombard the area ahead of Reverend Ming Liang with the intention of preventing Reverend Ming Liang from running away.\nMeanwhile, a blood-red mist appears in the sky above the capital. Obviously now Wu Kongxue has unleashed all his power.\n“Humph, stop me by yourself? Dream on.”\nHaving obtained the Heaven-Sundering Diagram by force, how can Reverend Ming Liang possibly give it up submissively? Because Wu Kongxue is going all out to hold him down like that, it is basically impossible for him to escape. But … how can Reverend Ming Liang possibly fear Wu Kongxue? In an instant, a dot of light is shot at Wu Kongxue.\nClashing head-on, dodging, attacking sneakily, bombarding each other with magic weapons, throwing talismanic seals wildly ……\nDuring a very short time, there is a continuous series of explosions. How powerful are Reverend Ming Liang and Wu Kongxue? Both of them are 12th tribulation super experts. So, when they fight each other with all their might, how can a mere capital possibly survive? Explosions are heard unceasingly and the sky is overflowing with the blood-red mist.\nThat blood-red mist is very dense and any mortal who smells its stench of blood is completely terrified by this stench. Such a thick bloody mist is covering the airspace of the capital, causing everyone in the capital to feel as if the sky has fallen and that doomsday has come.\n“Ah, it’s Judgment Day! It’s Judgment Day!”\nA scholar is running frantically in panic. He then becomes careless and, as a result, tumbles to the ground. However, because almost all the people on the streets of the capital are running desperately, the scholar is trampled to death very quickly, his pale white bones broken into pieces by feet and sticking out through his flesh. This scene is too horrible to look at, but nobody seems to pay attention to it.\nBecause … today is doomsday!\nScenes like this now can be seen almost everywhere.\nBoom!\nReverend Ming Liang avoids a strike by Wu Kongxue. This strike hits a street of the capital. Immediately, a shock wave spreads out from the site of the impact in all directions to a radius of several hundred meters like a sun emitting all of its light. Everything within several hundred meters of the site of the impact is turned into powder. In the area between several hundred meters to several li from the center, all the buildings collapse, smashing countless mortals to death, dyeing the capital red with blood.\n“Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, quickly come back.” A married woman is shouting anxiously.\nWho can say the wars between empires are the most terrifying thing? Even in imperial wars, mortals still have chances to run away or have the ability to resist or fight for their lives.\nHowever, when a 12th tribulation loose devil and a 12th tribulation loose immortal are fighting madly like this, it is simply doomsday. Now the mortals can only run away desperately. They have absolutely no ability to resist and have no choice but to hope that such an explosion will not befall them.\nThey fly into the western suburb of the capital from the eastern one in an instant. The air explodes wherever they go. These 2 super experts have got fired up completely. Neither of them is willing to back off. Wu Kongxue wants to snatch that Heaven-Sundering Diagram at any cost whereas Reverend Ming Liang wants to protect it with all his might.\nThe capital of the Qin dynasty is groaning and wailing under the fighting between the 2 super experts.\nIt is miserable.\nUnder this absolute power, poor people and nobles alike are helpless. All of them are praying to Heaven for protection, praying that none of the attacks by these 2 super experts will land around them.\nIn Lei Mountain House, Qin Zheng’s face is full of bewilderment. Now there are 3 guardians under him, one at the middle Dongxu stage and 2 at the early Dongxu stage. That guardian Yang, who was at the late Dongxu stage, was already killed just now by Wu Kongxue’s deep roar without being able to resist at all.\nIf Qin Zheng had been just a bit slower or if his mentality was just a bit lower in quality, perhaps he would have suffered the same fate. As for these 3 guardians, they have been residing in Lei Mountain House all the time.\n“Your Majesty, by checking with my holy sense, I have found that nearly 60% of the imperial palace with the imperial study being the center was reduced to powder by that roar. And the other 40% … was blown up while those 2 experts were fighting each other.” Liang Shen, the middle Dongxu-stage guardian, says respectfully.\nQin Zheng’s face changes color.\n“You mean everybody in the imperial palace is dead except for me?” He simply cannot accept this outcome.\nQin Zheng slightly relaxes in his heart.\n“But that does not mean anything, Your Majesty. Those 2 super loose practitioners are really too powerful. When one of their attacks lands accidentally, hiding underground or not, those within several tens of meters of it will be killed in an explosion.” Liang Shen continues.\nQin Zheng is furious: “Tell me, how many of my princes are still living?”\nLiang Shen says respectfully: “Of the 13 princes in that 40% of the imperial palace in the beginning … 6 are still alive. These 6 princes are all hiding in underground secret rooms. However, because they do not have the protection of Lei Mountain House, if a shock wave caused by the attacks of those 2 super loose practitioners reaches them, they will probably lose their lives.”\nEven if a casual strike by them lands, those within several tens of meters of it below the surface of the ground will definitely die, as will those within several hundred meters of it above the ground. And the structures within several thousand meters of the site of the impact will collapse.\n“6 … when this battle is over, how many of them will possibly be alive?” Qin Zheng’s heart is full of frustration and abhorrence.\n“What about the empress and the ladies?” He asks for more details.\nThe empress and imperial concubines all lived in the same area. In Qin Zheng’s estimation, that area should be within the range of the deep roar attack executed by that super loose practitioner in the beginning. So, it is highly probable that … all of them are already dead. Qin Zheng asked Liang Shen about them only because he finds this really hard to accept.\nLiang Shen has no choice but to shake his head.\nRecalling his familiar concubines, Qin Zheng feels a wave of heartache.\n“Ah ~~~~~” He yells in a deep voice, his whole body starting to shake. His hands are being clenched in fists of rage and his fingernails have already sunk into his palms, causing his blood to fall drop by drop.\n“Your Majesty, a lady is still alive. She is Lady Gong, the mother of the fifth prince. Now both Lady Gong and 5th Prince are hiding in the secret room underneath 5th Prince’s living quarters. They are both still living.” Liang Shen says all of a sudden.\nQin Zheng is startled.\nQin Zheng quickly remembers that he visited none other than Lady Gong last night. She even told him that she would go to see her son today. Who could have thought she would be able to avoid a disaster thanks to this?\nOf course, it is still hard to tell if she will be able to survive.\nAfter all … the 2 super loose practitioners are still fighting like crazy.\nTo prevent Reverend Ming Liang from using teleportation to escape, on the way Wu Kongxue keeps sending out his terrifying energy to shake the space around him. All structures are turned into powder while mortals and Xiuzhenists alike are smashed to pieces wherever the 2 of them fly past. A path of blood;\nThis is definitely the first time Wu Kongxue and Reverend Ming Liang have gone all out to fight each other since they reached their current level.\nHow can they possibly care about the collateral damage to mortals? They started the fighting in the capital of the Qin dynasty then immediately started moving south at high speeds while continuing to fight each other. They then go through several tens of cities. Even though most of these cities are not damaged so badly as the capital of the Qin empire, their structures are still destroyed almost completely and they each lose at least half of their populations.\nFrom the Qin empire’s capital to the Ming empire’s Lanshan City;\nThis several tens of thousands of li fighting path is a path of blood. The mortal casualties along this path amount to tens of millions, which is even much larger than the number of people dying in a war. Several tens of cities have been destroyed, causing the economic loss to reach a shockingly high level.\n“Ha-ha … Wu Kongxue, this Heaven-Sundering Diagram is definitely ours. It’s time you all quit dreaming.” Reverend Chi Yang, an 11th tribulation loose immortal of the Ziyang School, says with arrogant laughter. The hidden forces of Xiuxianists have eventually appeared.\nNow Reverend Ming Liang, a 12th tribulation loose immortal, is supported by four 11th tribulation loose immortals, consisting of Reverend Ming Shan, Reverend Lan Bing, Reverend Chi Yang of the Ziyang School and Xue Yuyang of the Lanyang School. Among the latter four, Xue Yuyang of the Lanyang School is the most powerful.\nReverend Ming Liang fights Wu Kongxue.\nXue Yuyang of the Lanyang School fights Wu Hei.\nReverend Chi Yang fights Fire Devil.\nReverend Lan Bing fights Dame Lian Yue.\nReverend Ming Shan leads the other 10 8th tribulation, 9th tribulation and 10th tribulation loose immortals to fight the other 10 something loose devils of the enemy.\nThis fiercest battle between the devil path and the immortal path in the mortal world is simply world-shaking. They have been fighting from the capital of the Qin empire to the southernmost city of the Ming empire, Lanshan City. Now the forces of both sides are fighting in the sky above the boundless ocean desperately.\nA tinge of ruthlessness appears on Reverend Ming Liang’s face. He raises his right arm until it is horizontal. An extremely glaring point of light then emerges from the tip of this hand’s forefinger. It is dazzling like the Sun. At this moment, even the Sun’s luminosity seems to be eclipsed by this one point of light.\nWu Kongxue’s face changes color.\n“So you want to risk your life?” He knows how formidable this move of Reverend Ming Liang is. But this move also deals to the user an amount of damage 80% as large as what it does to the enemy. Reverend Ming Liang has never used this move except when he has had to risk his life.\nHowever, now if he does not fight off Wu Kongxue, he simply will not be able to escape.\n“Stellar Ignition -- Space Piercer!”\nThe point of light shoots at Wu Kongxue nonstop. At the same time, wherever it goes, the space is cut apart completely and a small hole seems to be pierced through the space.\nWu Kongxue’s face changes color greatly because the terrifying attraction from that spatial rift reaches him right away and because this point of light is really too fast. He clenches his teeth. In an instant, his face turns very red and his whole body also reddens as if it is boiling. He then goes a long distance away like a beam of light to dodge.\n“Run.”\nReverend Ming Liang shouts in a deep voice. With a swaying movement of his body, he immediately arrives in a stable area of space, uses teleportation without delay and disappears.\nBecause Reverend Ming Liang has escaped, the other loose immortals naturally do not want to fight anymore. They all evade their opponents then use teleportation to disappear.\nDuring this battle between the devil path and the immortal path, all the 11th tribulation experts only suffered injuries of different degrees. But quite a few 8th tribulation, 9th tribulation and 10th tribulation experts were killed as both sides were fighting each other desperately.\nWu Kongxue, Dame Lian Yue, Fire Devil, Wu Hei and the other loose devils all have a grim expression.\n“These lowlifes,” Fire Devil is extremely furious.\nWu Kongxue says coldly: “Let’s return to the Teng Long continent immediately. Whatever happens, we must settle this score. Humph, Ming Liang!” He has never suffered such a humiliation. The Heaven-Sundering Diagram was unexpectedly snatched by someone else when it was about to fall into his hands. How can he possibly not be furious at this?\n“Let’s go.”\nWu Kongxue gives an order. All the loose devils immediately use teleportation to rush to the Golden Tree Island at their top speeds.\nA while after their disappearance,\nSeveral figures appear in the area of sky above ocean where the battle was being fought just now. The leader is none other than the central ruler and also the king of the Wilderness -- Yu Liang."

第四十六章
皇宫御书房下建造有一巨大底下密室，而秦羽当初留给秦政的‘雷山居’便是在内部。
几乎在明良真人突兀出现在秦政面前的那一刻，秦政的第一反应便是一拍御书房的案桌，而秦政整个人如同坠落了一样，直接落入了案桌旁的一个地道中，随即地道合拢。
身为皇帝，当然要防备被人刺杀，这通道便是为其设留。
这手一拍、人落。 几乎和乌空血一声低吼同时发生，人影刚刚落下，那空间波纹便延伸到刚才秦政所在的位置，惊险之极。
而且他身为一国皇帝，这心理素质甚至于比一般的散修还要强的多。 破天图被夺，他根本不管是谁夺得，就立即躲入了底下密室的雷山居之中。
秦政逃脱。
可是在场的近乎二十名散魔没有一个人注意到这一切，他们所有人的注意力都集中在了明良真人身上。
“明良，这破天图是我们的，放下破天图，饶你离去。” 乌空血声音朗朗，但是恐怖的气劲正不断以他为中心震荡着周围数里范围，周围的空间不断震荡。
十二劫散魔，全力攻击甚至于可以让凡人界空间出现裂缝，如今只是让空间震荡，当然轻而易举。
明良真人见无法瞬移，也不多话，只是冷哼一声，便化为一道流光直接朝南方横冲直撞飞了过去。
“留下破天图。”
乌空血一声大喝响彻整个京城，同时乌空血本人则是发动了恐怖到极点的攻击，只见一道道血红色流光从乌空血手中射出，轰击在明良真人的前方，势要阻止住明良真人逃逸。
同时，京城的上空出现了血红色云雾，显然这一刻乌空血已经爆发了最强的实力。
就凭你，做梦。” 明良真人夺得了破天图，岂会将破天图再拱手让出。
乌空血如此拼命牵制，他想要逃逸也根本不可能，只是……明良真人又怎么会惧怕乌空血，当即挥手间，一点光芒射向乌空血。 一时间爆炸连连，这明良真人和乌空血什么实力？
他们可都是十二劫的超级高手，一旦全力厮杀，小小一个京城又怎么能够幸存。
只见爆炸连连，血色云雾弥漫天空。 那血红色云雾浓重厚实。
血腥气息寻常的凡人闻了更是感到呕心恐怖，如此厚实的血腥云雾覆盖京城上空。 让京城的所有人都感到‘天低地高’，同时也有一种末日来临的感觉。
“啊，天谴啦，天谴啦。”
一个书生惊慌失措地奔跑着。 一不小心便是一个踉跄倒在了地上，而京城的街道上几乎所有人都拼命地逃跑，很快便将这个书生活活给踩死了，骨头被踩碎了。 惨白的骨渣从肉之中穿透了出来。
可是几乎没有人注意到这一幕。 因为……如今就是末日！
这一幕几乎在每一处都在上演。
“轰！”
明良真人闪过乌空血的一击，这一击轰击在京城的街道上，顿时仿佛太阳放射完全光芒一样，这一击以轰击的地点为中心。 朝四面八方弥漫开数百米，数百米劲皆是变成粉末。
“小英，小英啊，快回来。” 一个妇人焦急地喊着。
谁说王朝之间的战争最恐怖，即使战争，凡人还有机会逃脱或者还有能力去抵抗，去拼命。
可是十二劫的散魔和十二劫的散仙如此疯狂厮杀，那根本就是末日。 凡人们只能疯狂逃跑，他们没有一丝能力反抗，他们只能心中期待，那爆炸不要降临到他们头上。 两道光影极速流窜。
霎那便从京城东郊飞到西郊，沿途之处，空气都爆炸开来，两大超级高手完全打出了真火，二人都不愿意退缩。 乌空血不顾一切都想要夺到那破天图，而明良真人也是拼命要保护这一张破天图。
秦王朝的京城，在两大超级高手的争斗中呻吟着、哀鸣着。
惨。
在这绝对的力量，无法抗衡的力量面前，他们都是同样地祈求老天的保佑，祈求那两个超级高手的攻击别落到他们的周围。
雷山居内，秦政满脸阴霾，在他麾下正有三大护法，一名洞虚中期，两名洞虚前期。 至于那洞虚后期的杨护法已经在刚才乌空血一声低吼中被杀，毫无反抗之力。
如果他秦政稍微慢上那么一丝，或者说他的心理素质低是那么一些，估计也是同样的下场。 至于雷山居中这三名护法是一直居住在这的。
“皇上，属下用灵识查探，以御书房为中心，大概近乎六成的皇宫范围在那一吼中完全化为粉末。 至于其他四成范围……在两大高手地厮杀中也爆炸了开来。”
洞虚中期的护法恭敬道。
秦政脸色一变。 “你的意思是，朕皇宫中除了朕，其他人都死了？”
秦政根本无法接受这个结果。
“可是皇上，这并不代表什么。 那两个超级散修的实力太过强大了，只是无意中落下的攻击，只要在这攻击数十米范围内，即使躲在地下也是照样被炸死。” 梁深又说道。
秦政怒了：“你说。 现在朕的皇子还幸存几个？”
梁深恭敬道：“那四成皇宫范围内，原本有皇子十三个，而现在……还幸存六个。 这六个如今都躲在地下密室之中，只是他们没有雷山居保护，一旦被那两个超级散修的攻击波及到，估计就会没性命了。”
两大十二劫三修。 即使随便落下的一击，数十米范围内是必死无疑，即使在地下。 而数百迷范围内，地面以上也是必死无疑。
“六个……等这场战斗结束，不知道能够剩下几个。” 秦政心中尽是无奈。
以及痛恨。 “皇后他们呢？”
秦政追问道。 后宫三千都是在一片区域，根据秦政猜测，那片区域就应该在一开始那个超级散修一声低吼的攻击范围。 很有可能……所有的娘娘嫔妃都死了，只是秦政真的很难接受，所以他询问梁深。
梁深无奈摇头。
回忆起熟悉的嫔妃。 秦政便是一阵心痛。
“啊~~~~~”秦政低声嘶吼着，整个人都颤抖了起来，双拳紧紧握着，手指甲都掐入了掌心中。 鲜血一滴滴流下。
“皇上。 还有一个嫔妃活着，是五皇子的龚妃娘娘，此刻龚妃娘娘和五皇子都躲在五皇子住处的地下密室之中，他们如今还都活着。” 梁深忽然出声道。
秦政片刻便想了起来。
昨人晚上临幸的正是龚妃，龚妃还曾经说过今日要去看看自己的儿子。 没想到龚妃竟然躲过一劫。
当然，是否能够活命还难说。
毕竟……两大超级散修还在疯狂厮杀着。
乌空血为了防止明良真人施展瞬移逃脱，所以沿途之上不断散发恐怖的气劲震荡着空间，只要是二人飞行过处，建筑皆化为粉末不管是凡人，还是修真着都是花为碎裂的血肉。
这一路厮杀，绝对是乌空血和明良真人二人到了如今这个境界这个地位，第一次如此拼命地厮杀。
二人又怎么会在乎那些受到牵连的凡人，从秦王朝的京城开始厮杀战斗，随即迅速朝南方移动，这一路杀过去。 总共经过了数十个城池，虽然大部分城池没有像秦王朝京城那么惨，可是建筑也几近被全部毁掉，人口至少损失二分之一。
从秦王朝京城，到明王朝的蓝山城。
这一路数万里战斗之路，便是血腥之路，死伤的凡人更是达到了数千万。 比一场战争损失的人口还要多得多。
特别的城池被毁掉数十座，经济损失达到一个惊人的地步。 “哈哈……乌空血，此次破天图定是归我们了，你们就别做梦了。” 紫阳门的十一劫散仙赤阳真人狂声笑道，终于隐藏在暗处的修仙者的一方人马终于现身了。
有十二劫散修明良真人、以及四名十一劫散仙，分别是明善真人、岚冰真人、紫阳门赤阳真人、蓝央门雪羽央。 其中这四人之中，又以蓝央门的雪羽央实力为最高。
明良真人对乌空血。
蓝央门的雪羽央对战巫黑。
赤阳真人对战火魔。
岚冰真人对战连月娘娘。
其中明善真人又率领其他十名八劫、九劫、十劫的散修和对方十余名散修一场厮杀。
这一场魔道一方和仙道一方的凡人界最强战斗简直是惊天动地。 从秦王朝京城杀到明王朝最南边的蓝山城，之后更是直接杀到了无边的海域，在大海上空，两方人马不顾一切。
明良真人脸上出现一丝狠色，右手平举，食指指端更是出现一点极为刺眼的光点，那光点犹如太阳一样夺目，在那一刻仿佛太阳的光辉都被这一点光点给遮挡了。 乌空血脸色一变。
“命都不要了。”
乌空血可是知道明良真人这一招厉害，只是这一招攻敌一千，自损八百。 非拼命时刻，明良真人也不会使用。
只是，如果不将乌空血击腿，明良真人根本不可能逃走开。
“点星——破空！”
一点光芒过处。 空间仿佛被那一点给刺破了一个小洞，同时这一光点还继续射向乌空血。 光点过处，空间完全被割裂了开来。
恐怖的吸引力从那空间裂缝之中传来，而且这光点速度实在太快了。 乌空血脸色大变，一咬牙，脸色瞬间涨得通红，全身皮肤也仿佛沸腾了一样通红了起来，整个人化为一道血光原员躲避开来。
“走。”
明良真人一声低喝，当即身形一闪，到空间稳定之处，随即直接施展开瞬移消失不见了。
明良真人逃了，那其他散仙当然都不恋战了，一个个都逃避并且施展瞬移消失了。
魔道一方和仙道一方，十一劫散修几乎都受了或轻或重的伤，而八劫、九劫、十劫的散修，两方面人马拼命之下，各有好几个高手都在这一战之手被杀死了。
乌空血、连月娘娘、火魔、巫黑等一群人都是面色阴沉。
“这些小人。” 火魔怒气冲天。
乌空血冷声道：“马上回腾龙大陆，不管如何，我们这次吃的亏定要找回来。 哼，明良。”
“走。”
乌空血一声令下，众散魔都是立即施展瞬移，用最快的速度赶往金木岛。
而就在他们消失一会儿。
又有数个身形出现在刚才厮杀的海域上空，为首者正是洪荒的核心区域涨控者，也是洪荒的王者——余良。

Book 10 Chapter 46
There is a huge secret room built underneath the imperial study. Lei Mountain House, given to Qin Zheng by Qin Yu previously, is in there.
Qin Zheng’s first reaction was almost concurrently with Reverend Ming Liang’s sudden appearance in front of him. He gave the long, narrow table in the imperial study a slap. His whole body immediately went into a tunnel beside the table as if he was in free fall and the tunnel shut right afterwards.
As an emperor, Qin Zheng naturally has to take precautions against assassins and this tunnel was dug because of that reason.
With this slap, his body fell almost at the same time as Wu Kongxue let out a deep roar. When he had just gone into the tunnel, that shock wave reached the place where he had been at a moment before. It was extremely dangerous.
Qin Zheng is not powerful but he is a Xiantian expert at any rate. Moreover, because he is the emperor a dynasty, his mentality is even much stronger than that of an ordinary loose practitioner. After the Heaven-Sundering Diagram had been snatched, he simply did not care who had obtained it and immediately dodged into Lei Mountain House in the underground secret room.
Qin Zheng has escaped.
But the nearly 20 loose devils at the scene pay no attention to this at all. They are all focusing their attention on Reverend Ming Liang.
“Ming Liang, this Heaven-Sundering Diagram is ours. Put it down and we’ll let you leave.” Wu Kongxue says in a loud and clear voice. But his terrifying energy is shaking nonstop throughout the area within several li of him. The space in his surroundings is shaking unceasingly too.
If a 12th tribulation loose devil attacks with all their might, they can even create spatial rifts in the mortal world. So, it is certainly easy for Wu Kongxue to only shake the space around him as he is doing.
Seeing that teleportation is unusable, Reverend Ming Liang lets out a cold humph without saying anything. His body immediately turns into a beam of light and flies straight south in a rampageous manner.
“Leave the diagram behind.”
Wu Kongxue shouts loudly, his voice resounding through the entire capital. At the same time, he launches an extremely terrifying attack. Various blood-red beams of light shoot out from his hands and bombard the area ahead of Reverend Ming Liang with the intention of preventing Reverend Ming Liang from running away.
Meanwhile, a blood-red mist appears in the sky above the capital. Obviously now Wu Kongxue has unleashed all his power.
“Humph, stop me by yourself? Dream on.”
Having obtained the Heaven-Sundering Diagram by force, how can Reverend Ming Liang possibly give it up submissively? Because Wu Kongxue is going all out to hold him down like that, it is basically impossible for him to escape. But … how can Reverend Ming Liang possibly fear Wu Kongxue? In an instant, a dot of light is shot at Wu Kongxue.
Clashing head-on, dodging, attacking sneakily, bombarding each other with magic weapons, throwing talismanic seals wildly ……
During a very short time, there is a continuous series of explosions. How powerful are Reverend Ming Liang and Wu Kongxue? Both of them are 12th tribulation super experts. So, when they fight each other with all their might, how can a mere capital possibly survive? Explosions are heard unceasingly and the sky is overflowing with the blood-red mist.
That blood-red mist is very dense and any mortal who smells its stench of blood is completely terrified by this stench. Such a thick bloody mist is covering the airspace of the capital, causing everyone in the capital to feel as if the sky has fallen and that doomsday has come.
“Ah, it’s Judgment Day! It’s Judgment Day!”
A scholar is running frantically in panic. He then becomes careless and, as a result, tumbles to the ground. However, because almost all the people on the streets of the capital are running desperately, the scholar is trampled to death very quickly, his pale white bones broken into pieces by feet and sticking out through his flesh. This scene is too horrible to look at, but nobody seems to pay attention to it.
Because … today is doomsday!
Scenes like this now can be seen almost everywhere.
Boom!
Reverend Ming Liang avoids a strike by Wu Kongxue. This strike hits a street of the capital. Immediately, a shock wave spreads out from the site of the impact in all directions to a radius of several hundred meters like a sun emitting all of its light. Everything within several hundred meters of the site of the impact is turned into powder. In the area between several hundred meters to several li from the center, all the buildings collapse, smashing countless mortals to death, dyeing the capital red with blood.
“Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, quickly come back.” A married woman is shouting anxiously.
Who can say the wars between empires are the most terrifying thing? Even in imperial wars, mortals still have chances to run away or have the ability to resist or fight for their lives.
However, when a 12th tribulation loose devil and a 12th tribulation loose immortal are fighting madly like this, it is simply doomsday. Now the mortals can only run away desperately. They have absolutely no ability to resist and have no choice but to hope that such an explosion will not befall them.
They fly into the western suburb of the capital from the eastern one in an instant. The air explodes wherever they go. These 2 super experts have got fired up completely. Neither of them is willing to back off. Wu Kongxue wants to snatch that Heaven-Sundering Diagram at any cost whereas Reverend Ming Liang wants to protect it with all his might.
The capital of the Qin dynasty is groaning and wailing under the fighting between the 2 super experts.
It is miserable.
Under this absolute power, poor people and nobles alike are helpless. All of them are praying to Heaven for protection, praying that none of the attacks by these 2 super experts will land around them.
In Lei Mountain House, Qin Zheng’s face is full of bewilderment. Now there are 3 guardians under him, one at the middle Dongxu stage and 2 at the early Dongxu stage. That guardian Yang, who was at the late Dongxu stage, was already killed just now by Wu Kongxue’s deep roar without being able to resist at all.
If Qin Zheng had been just a bit slower or if his mentality was just a bit lower in quality, perhaps he would have suffered the same fate. As for these 3 guardians, they have been residing in Lei Mountain House all the time.
“Your Majesty, by checking with my holy sense, I have found that nearly 60% of the imperial palace with the imperial study being the center was reduced to powder by that roar. And the other 40% … was blown up while those 2 experts were fighting each other.” Liang Shen, the middle Dongxu-stage guardian, says respectfully.
Qin Zheng’s face changes color.
“You mean everybody in the imperial palace is dead except for me?” He simply cannot accept this outcome.
Qin Zheng slightly relaxes in his heart.
“But that does not mean anything, Your Majesty. Those 2 super loose practitioners are really too powerful. When one of their attacks lands accidentally, hiding underground or not, those within several tens of meters of it will be killed in an explosion.” Liang Shen continues.
Qin Zheng is furious: “Tell me, how many of my princes are still living?”
Liang Shen says respectfully: “Of the 13 princes in that 40% of the imperial palace in the beginning … 6 are still alive. These 6 princes are all hiding in underground secret rooms. However, because they do not have the protection of Lei Mountain House, if a shock wave caused by the attacks of those 2 super loose practitioners reaches them, they will probably lose their lives.”
Even if a casual strike by them lands, those within several tens of meters of it below the surface of the ground will definitely die, as will those within several hundred meters of it above the ground. And the structures within several thousand meters of the site of the impact will collapse.
“6 … when this battle is over, how many of them will possibly be alive?” Qin Zheng’s heart is full of frustration and abhorrence.
“What about the empress and the ladies?” He asks for more details.
The empress and imperial concubines all lived in the same area. In Qin Zheng’s estimation, that area should be within the range of the deep roar attack executed by that super loose practitioner in the beginning. So, it is highly probable that … all of them are already dead. Qin Zheng asked Liang Shen about them only because he finds this really hard to accept.
Liang Shen has no choice but to shake his head.
Recalling his familiar concubines, Qin Zheng feels a wave of heartache.
“Ah ~~~~~” He yells in a deep voice, his whole body starting to shake. His hands are being clenched in fists of rage and his fingernails have already sunk into his palms, causing his blood to fall drop by drop.
“Your Majesty, a lady is still alive. She is Lady Gong, the mother of the fifth prince. Now both Lady Gong and 5th Prince are hiding in the secret room underneath 5th Prince’s living quarters. They are both still living.” Liang Shen says all of a sudden.
Qin Zheng is startled.
Qin Zheng quickly remembers that he visited none other than Lady Gong last night. She even told him that she would go to see her son today. Who could have thought she would be able to avoid a disaster thanks to this?
Of course, it is still hard to tell if she will be able to survive.
After all … the 2 super loose practitioners are still fighting like crazy.
To prevent Reverend Ming Liang from using teleportation to escape, on the way Wu Kongxue keeps sending out his terrifying energy to shake the space around him. All structures are turned into powder while mortals and Xiuzhenists alike are smashed to pieces wherever the 2 of them fly past. A path of blood;
This is definitely the first time Wu Kongxue and Reverend Ming Liang have gone all out to fight each other since they reached their current level.
How can they possibly care about the collateral damage to mortals? They started the fighting in the capital of the Qin dynasty then immediately started moving south at high speeds while continuing to fight each other. They then go through several tens of cities. Even though most of these cities are not damaged so badly as the capital of the Qin empire, their structures are still destroyed almost completely and they each lose at least half of their populations.
From the Qin empire’s capital to the Ming empire’s Lanshan City;
This several tens of thousands of li fighting path is a path of blood. The mortal casualties along this path amount to tens of millions, which is even much larger than the number of people dying in a war. Several tens of cities have been destroyed, causing the economic loss to reach a shockingly high level.
“Ha-ha … Wu Kongxue, this Heaven-Sundering Diagram is definitely ours. It’s time you all quit dreaming.” Reverend Chi Yang, an 11th tribulation loose immortal of the Ziyang School, says with arrogant laughter. The hidden forces of Xiuxianists have eventually appeared.
Now Reverend Ming Liang, a 12th tribulation loose immortal, is supported by four 11th tribulation loose immortals, consisting of Reverend Ming Shan, Reverend Lan Bing, Reverend Chi Yang of the Ziyang School and Xue Yuyang of the Lanyang School. Among the latter four, Xue Yuyang of the Lanyang School is the most powerful.
Reverend Ming Liang fights Wu Kongxue.
Xue Yuyang of the Lanyang School fights Wu Hei.
Reverend Chi Yang fights Fire Devil.
Reverend Lan Bing fights Dame Lian Yue.
Reverend Ming Shan leads the other 10 8th tribulation, 9th tribulation and 10th tribulation loose immortals to fight the other 10 something loose devils of the enemy.
This fiercest battle between the devil path and the immortal path in the mortal world is simply world-shaking. They have been fighting from the capital of the Qin empire to the southernmost city of the Ming empire, Lanshan City. Now the forces of both sides are fighting in the sky above the boundless ocean desperately.
A tinge of ruthlessness appears on Reverend Ming Liang’s face. He raises his right arm until it is horizontal. An extremely glaring point of light then emerges from the tip of this hand’s forefinger. It is dazzling like the Sun. At this moment, even the Sun’s luminosity seems to be eclipsed by this one point of light.
Wu Kongxue’s face changes color.
“So you want to risk your life?” He knows how formidable this move of Reverend Ming Liang is. But this move also deals to the user an amount of damage 80% as large as what it does to the enemy. Reverend Ming Liang has never used this move except when he has had to risk his life.
However, now if he does not fight off Wu Kongxue, he simply will not be able to escape.
“Stellar Ignition -- Space Piercer!”
The point of light shoots at Wu Kongxue nonstop. At the same time, wherever it goes, the space is cut apart completely and a small hole seems to be pierced through the space.
Wu Kongxue’s face changes color greatly because the terrifying attraction from that spatial rift reaches him right away and because this point of light is really too fast. He clenches his teeth. In an instant, his face turns very red and his whole body also reddens as if it is boiling. He then goes a long distance away like a beam of light to dodge.
“Run.”
Reverend Ming Liang shouts in a deep voice. With a swaying movement of his body, he immediately arrives in a stable area of space, uses teleportation without delay and disappears.
Because Reverend Ming Liang has escaped, the other loose immortals naturally do not want to fight anymore. They all evade their opponents then use teleportation to disappear.
During this battle between the devil path and the immortal path, all the 11th tribulation experts only suffered injuries of different degrees. But quite a few 8th tribulation, 9th tribulation and 10th tribulation experts were killed as both sides were fighting each other desperately.
Wu Kongxue, Dame Lian Yue, Fire Devil, Wu Hei and the other loose devils all have a grim expression.
“These lowlifes,” Fire Devil is extremely furious.
Wu Kongxue says coldly: “Let’s return to the Teng Long continent immediately. Whatever happens, we must settle this score. Humph, Ming Liang!” He has never suffered such a humiliation. The Heaven-Sundering Diagram was unexpectedly snatched by someone else when it was about to fall into his hands. How can he possibly not be furious at this?
“Let’s go.”
Wu Kongxue gives an order. All the loose devils immediately use teleportation to rush to the Golden Tree Island at their top speeds.
A while after their disappearance,
Several figures appear in the area of sky above ocean where the battle was being fought just now. The leader is none other than the central ruler and also the king of the Wilderness -- Yu Liang.

"value": "“… I’ll try to persuade the head of the palace.” Xiong Feng smiled. He seemed to be free and at ease. “Alright then, I’ve finally experienced the martial art of Crouching Bull Mountain. Sure enough, it was an eye-opener, I’ll be back.”\nChu Li nodded. “We’ll be waiting for you anytime! You’re Elder Jin’s disciple, am I right?”\n“Yes.” Xiong Feng took a look at Jin Ye, he shook his head and laughed as he said. “I’ve been raised by Master since young and began worshipping Skyward Palace when I was ten, hoping that I would one day be able to obtain the second half of Crouching Bull Insight. I’ve been working hard ever since.”\n“No wonder.” Chu Li nodded.\nJin Ye stared at Xiong Feng.\nXiong Feng said, “Master, I’ve embarrassed you!”\nJin Ye scoffed. “You’re disappointing, boy. Why did you confess so quickly?”\n“I couldn’t let the others misunderstand and think that you’re selfish.” Xiong Feng continued, “I only had to succeed in this challenge, and I would be able to see the Crouching Bull Insight when I return. After this, I would’ve sent it back so that Crouching Bull Mountain would be able to get the full set of the Crouching Bull Insight. If I failed the challenge, Crouching Bull Mountain would earn the Crouching Bull Insight from us anyhow. Whichever way it went, it was a winning move. Master, this is such a wonderful trick, I have to let everyone know.”\nChu Li laughed. “Elder Jin might not necessarily be unselfish after all. If you were successful and obtained the Crouching Bull Insight, he can practice it as well. However, he’s not planning to hand it over to the sect.”\nJin Ye scoffed and said, “Stop with the nonsense! Your punishment still stands, you’re not a disciple of Crouching Bull Mountain!”\nChu Li could not help but laugh as he said, “I have done the mountain such a meritorious deed, yet I am still not considered a disciple of Crouching Bull Mountain?”\n“Merits can’t offset faults.” Jin Ye said.\nChu Li said, “Elder Jin, now you should think more about how you’re going to explain your selfishness to everyone. There’s no need for you to worry about me!”\nJin Ye sneered.\nChu Li looked at Xiong Feng. “Young Master Xiong, will Skyward Palace be able to send the Crouching Bull Insight over within seven days?”\n“That’s possible.” Xiong Feng nodded. “If it’s not sent over in seven days, it’ll mean that my persuasion has failed.”\n“Then I’ll personally pay a visit to Skyward Palace!” Chu Li said.\nXiong Feng nodded. “Alright then, I’ll make a move, take care, Master!”\nJin Ye waved his hand. “Look after yourself!”\nXiong Feng gave a fist salute to everyone. “Elders, sorry for the offense, I bid you farewell!”\nAfter saying this, he vanished.\nAs everyone watched his back disappear, they shook their heads and lamented.\nEven though they were defeated by him, they still admired him. They did not feel much hatred toward Xiong Feng, a heroic figure with an elegant demeanor like him was a rarity these days.\nDuring noon, three days later, a young man withstood the scorching sun and arrived at Crouching Bull Mountain. He personally paid a visit to the hill master, Zhuge Feng, presented him a wooden box, then left.\nZhuge Feng sat in his armchair. Beside him were Murong Chun and Xia Liyan.\n“Hill Master, quickly take a look.” Murong Chun said, “Is it really the Crouching Bull Insight.”\nEven if they saw it, they would not know if it was real, since only the hill master could cultivate the Crouching Bull Insight. He was the only one who had seen the Crouching Bull Insight before.\nHe stared at the purple wooden box anxiously. Then, he took a deep break and opened it slowly. Inside the box laid a thin book, it was yellowish with glimpses of black color speckled across its surface. It looked quite unremarkable, such that nobody would pick it up if it was casually dumped on the floor.\nZhuge Feng held it up slowly, then he opened it and flipped through carefully.\nAfter a brief moment, he looked up and smiled at the two of them. “Indeed, it’s the second half of the Crouching Bull Insight!”\n“Haha, Crouching Bull Mountain can revitalize now!” Murong Chun laughed out loud.\nXia Liyan laughed joyously as well.\nZhuge Feng held the book in his arms and laughed alongside them as he said, “With the Crouching Bull Insight, what do we have to fear? We finally fulfilled the wish of all the hill masters before us!”\n“Hill Master, the Young Lord must be credited for this!” Murong Chun said, “Let us inform the Young Lord about this.”\n“Yes, we’ll have to let him know.” Zhuge Feng nodded and said, “I’ve already let him see the first half of the Crouching Bull Insight, in case I become careless and somehow lose its legacy. Now, I’ll let him have a look at the second half as well.”\n“That’s right.” Murong Chun and Xia Liyan nodded in agreement.\nChu Li was swiftly called over. He obediently did a fist salute and sat down near them.\n“Take a look.” Zhuge Feng passed the book to him.\nChu Li received it and looked at it. He imprinted all of its contents in his mind by taking a glance at it, then he nodded. “Seems like it’s real.”\nHe had already seen both parts of the insight, so now the entirety of the Crouching Bull Insight was in his mind.\nThere were only a few thin silk pages in the second half, and its contents were far less than the first half, yet, it was the perfect finishing touch.\nWhen he looked at the first half of Crouching Bull Insight, he felt that it was very basic. It was no wonder Zhuge Feng’s cultivation level was not top-notch since he had not achieved the essence of the Crouching Bull Insight.\nThe second half was a set of explanations for the step techniques and heart techniques, in which nine Cattle Drawings were shown.\nOnly with the nine Cattle Drawings can the true abilities of Crouching Bull Power be achieved. Without the nine Cattle Drawings, one would not be able to arrive at the essence of Crouching Bull Power. One could only obtain its form, but the difference in terms of ability would be miles apart.\nChu Li flipped through the Crouching Bull Insight in his mind and was perfectly satisfied.\nAfter all, he had not wasted his effort and time. He had finally obtained a top-notch antique study of spirit beasts. This, in addition to his Art of White Tiger, would be two top-notch antique studies.\nIf he could cultivate the Spirit Crane Technique as well, he would be well on the path to heaven. As long as he continued to focus on his cultivation, he would probably become an Enlightened Master.\nChu Li said, “Hill Master, if I become the next hill master, I’ll make a change.”\n“What change?” Zhuge Feng said.\nChu Li said, “All the disciples will be able to cultivate the Crouching Bull Insight! This way, it’ll strengthen the disciples’ cultivation levels, which will increase the strength of Crouching Bull Mountain. If we don’t do this, Crouching Bull Mountain will forever be unable to rise!”\nThe ancestor of Crouching Bull Mountain was an extremely powerful figure, but he was not broad-minded enough, such that he would rather keep the sect weak than risk the Crouching Bull Insight being leaked.\nHe wondered how many sects were exterminated because of how weak they were. Many of these sects did not have bad martial art studies, but their disciples could not access all the knowledge available to them, resulting in the sect just being weak overall.\nZhuge Feng’s face suddenly changed. “Don’t spout nonsense!”\nChu Li said, “They will be given access to each drawing based on merits. If they have enough merits, they’ll be taught the second drawing, then the third, up until the eighth. The Hill Master is the only one who will be able to cultivate the last drawing!”\n“You’re whimsical!” Zhuge Feng scoffed and said, “This is a rule set by our ancestors. How can it be broken so easily?”\nChu Li shook his head. “The times have changed. The world is different now, if we don’t change, Crouching Bull Mountain will become weaker and weaker. Don’t even talk about rising, I’m afraid that we’re fast approaching the extermination of our sect!”\nMurong Chun and Xia Liyan frowned. “But if we pass the insight on to the disciples, I’m afraid that it’ll be leaked.”\n“So what if it’s leaked?” Chu Li shook his head and said, “At most, a handful of drawings will be leaked. Look at the martial arts of Tempest Temple, at least three levels of the Sentient Menace were leaked, but what damage did it do to them?”\nThe three of them including Zhuge Feng frowned and pondered.\nChu Li continued, “If our martial arts is leaked, it would actually be beneficial to us – as long as the essence isn’t leaked.

PS:完毕，终于心安了。 “……我会劝宫主的。” 熊峰笑了笑，别有一股洒脱之气：“那好吧，总算见识了伏牛山的武功，确实大开眼界，我还会再来的。”
楚离道：“随时恭候！ ……你是金长老的弟子吧？”
“是。” 熊峰看一眼金晔，摇头笑道：“我自幼由师父养大，到十岁时拜进朝天宫，期望有朝一日能够得到伏牛真解下半部，一直在努力着。”
“怪不得。” 楚离点点头。
金晔瞪一眼熊峰。
熊峰道：“师父，我给你丢人啦！”
金晔哼一声：“不争气的小子，这么快坦白干什么！”
“免得大伙误会你真有私心。” 熊峰道：“我只要这次挑战成功，回去后就能看到伏牛真解，再送回来，伏牛山也能得到全部伏牛真解，若挑战不成功，伏牛山便能赢回伏牛真解，怎么说都是必胜的一步棋，师父这一招多妙，得让大伙知道。”
楚离笑了笑：“金长老可未必没有私心，你要挑战成功，得了伏牛真解，他也能跟着练，却不打算给宗门的。”
金晔哼道：“休得胡说八道！ ……你的处罚还在，你不算是伏牛山弟子！”
楚离失笑道：“我立下如此大功，还不算伏牛山弟子？”
“功不能抵过。” 金晔道。
楚离道：“金长老，你现在该想想怎么跟大伙交待你的私心，至于我，就不劳你操心了！”
金晔冷笑一声。
楚离看向熊峰：“熊公子，七天之内，朝天宫能送回伏牛真解吗？”
熊峰道：“若七在之内送不回，就是我劝说不成。”
“那时我会亲上朝天宫！” 楚离道。
熊峰点头：“那好，我就走了，师父保重！”
金晔摆摆手：“管好你自己！”
熊峰朝众人抱抱拳：“得罪了，各位长老，告辞！”
他说罢洒然而去。
众人看着他的背影，皆摇头感慨。
纵使被他打败，他们仍觉得心折，对这个熊峰并不多少恨意，如此风采照人的英雄人物，当真罕见。
三天之后的正午，一个青年男子顶着炎炎烈日来到伏牛山，亲自拜见山主诸葛丰，奉上一个木匣，然后退下去。
诸葛丰坐在太师椅中，身边是慕容纯与夏立言。
“山主，快看看吧。” 慕容纯道：“到底是不是伏牛真解。”
他们即使看也不知道真假，只有山主才能修炼伏牛真解，才见过伏牛真解。 诸葛丰的脸色大好，伤势恢复得七七八八。
他紧张的盯着紫木匣，深吸一口气慢慢打开，匣内躺着一本薄薄的册子，黄中泛黑，看上去毫不起眼，扔在地上怕是人们懒得去捡。
诸葛丰慢慢拿起来，打开仔细翻看。
半晌后，他抬起头冲二人笑道：“的确是伏牛真解的下半部！”
“哈哈，咱们伏牛山振兴有望！” 慕容纯大笑。
夏立言也眉开眼笑。
诸葛丰把薄册收到怀里，放声笑道：“有了伏牛真解，咱们还有何惧，终于完成了几代山主的愿望！”
“山主，这件事少主居功至伟！” 慕容纯道：“告诉少主一声吧。”
“嗯，是得告诉他一声。” 诸葛丰点头道：“我已经让他看过伏牛真解上半部，免得我有不则而失传，现在也让他看看下半部吧。” “正是。”
慕容纯与夏立言点头。
楚离很快被传过来，抱拳拱拱手，来到近前坐下。
“你看看吧。” 诸葛丰把薄册子递过去。
楚离接过来看扫一眼，迅速翻过一遍已经印入脑海，点点头：“看来是真的。”
上下两部全都看过，整个伏牛真解在脑海里翻涌。
下半部只有薄薄的几张帛页，内容远逊于上半部，却是点晴之笔。
看伏牛真解上半部，平庸得很，怪不得诸葛丰修为不算顶尖，确实没得伏牛真解之髓。
下半部是一套步法与心法详解，画了九幅青牛图。
有了这九幅青牛图，伏牛神功才能真正入门，没有这九幅青牛图，不得伏牛神功之势，练不出伏牛神功之髓，仅得其形，威力天差地别。
楚离在脑海里琢磨着这伏牛真解，心满意足。
总算没白费心思，终于得到了一门顶尖的灵兽绝学，加上自己的白虎炼阳图，已经两门顶尖绝学。
若能再修得灵鹤诀，自己就踏上了通天大道，只要潜心修炼，就有可能成就天神。
楚离道：“山主，我若为山主，会做出改变。”
诸葛丰道。
楚离道：“所有弟子皆可修炼伏牛真解！ ……这样才能增强弟子们的修为，提升伏牛山实力，否则，伏牛山永远无法崛起！”
伏牛山先祖是极厉害的人物，只是心胸不够宽，宁肯宗门实力弱，也不想让伏牛真解外泄。
岂不知那些消失的宗派，有多少是因为宗门实力微弱而灭的，很多宗门的武学并不差，偏偏弟子没能学全，导致实力不强。
诸葛丰脸色微变：“别胡说！”
楚离道：“一幅图一幅图的传授，以功劳为凭，功劳足够便可以传授第二幅，第三幅，直到第八幅，山主仅多修炼一图即可！”
“你真能异想天开！” 诸葛丰哼道：“这是历代祖师的规矩，岂能随意打破。”
楚离道：“世易时移，现在不是从前，再不改变，伏牛山真的会越来越弱，别说崛起，恐怕离灭宗不远！” 诸葛丰脸色微变。
慕容纯与夏立言皱眉道：“可是这么传给弟子，就怕会外泄。”
“外泄又如何？” 楚离摇头道：“顶多外泄几图而已，看看大雷音寺武学，金刚度厄神功最少外传了三层，对大雷音寺有何损失？”
诸葛丰三人皱眉沉思。
楚离道：“武功外泄，只要不泄了根本，反而有益于宗门，扩大影响，筛选人才，弊大于利！” “这件事得慎重！”
诸葛丰摇头道。
楚离哼道：“再慎重下去，被人打上门来，除了我，大伙都是废物，武功外泄了会更坏吗？”
诸葛丰沉默不语。
楚离道：“如果山主你不做，那我当上山主，一定会这么干！”
“……我要跟长老们商量一下。”
楚离点点头，把绢册还给他，抱拳一礼，然后退了出去。

“… I’ll try to persuade the head of the palace.” Xiong Feng smiled. He seemed to be free and at ease. “Alright then, I’ve finally experienced the martial art of Crouching Bull Mountain. Sure enough, it was an eye-opener, I’ll be back.”
Chu Li nodded. “We’ll be waiting for you anytime! You’re Elder Jin’s disciple, am I right?”
“Yes.” Xiong Feng took a look at Jin Ye, he shook his head and laughed as he said. “I’ve been raised by Master since young and began worshipping Skyward Palace when I was ten, hoping that I would one day be able to obtain the second half of Crouching Bull Insight. I’ve been working hard ever since.”
“No wonder.” Chu Li nodded.
Jin Ye stared at Xiong Feng.
Xiong Feng said, “Master, I’ve embarrassed you!”
Jin Ye scoffed. “You’re disappointing, boy. Why did you confess so quickly?”
“I couldn’t let the others misunderstand and think that you’re selfish.” Xiong Feng continued, “I only had to succeed in this challenge, and I would be able to see the Crouching Bull Insight when I return. After this, I would’ve sent it back so that Crouching Bull Mountain would be able to get the full set of the Crouching Bull Insight. If I failed the challenge, Crouching Bull Mountain would earn the Crouching Bull Insight from us anyhow. Whichever way it went, it was a winning move. Master, this is such a wonderful trick, I have to let everyone know.”
Chu Li laughed. “Elder Jin might not necessarily be unselfish after all. If you were successful and obtained the Crouching Bull Insight, he can practice it as well. However, he’s not planning to hand it over to the sect.”
Jin Ye scoffed and said, “Stop with the nonsense! Your punishment still stands, you’re not a disciple of Crouching Bull Mountain!”
Chu Li could not help but laugh as he said, “I have done the mountain such a meritorious deed, yet I am still not considered a disciple of Crouching Bull Mountain?”
“Merits can’t offset faults.” Jin Ye said.
Chu Li said, “Elder Jin, now you should think more about how you’re going to explain your selfishness to everyone. There’s no need for you to worry about me!”
Jin Ye sneered.
Chu Li looked at Xiong Feng. “Young Master Xiong, will Skyward Palace be able to send the Crouching Bull Insight over within seven days?”
“That’s possible.” Xiong Feng nodded. “If it’s not sent over in seven days, it’ll mean that my persuasion has failed.”
“Then I’ll personally pay a visit to Skyward Palace!” Chu Li said.
Xiong Feng nodded. “Alright then, I’ll make a move, take care, Master!”
Jin Ye waved his hand. “Look after yourself!”
Xiong Feng gave a fist salute to everyone. “Elders, sorry for the offense, I bid you farewell!”
After saying this, he vanished.
As everyone watched his back disappear, they shook their heads and lamented.
Even though they were defeated by him, they still admired him. They did not feel much hatred toward Xiong Feng, a heroic figure with an elegant demeanor like him was a rarity these days.
During noon, three days later, a young man withstood the scorching sun and arrived at Crouching Bull Mountain. He personally paid a visit to the hill master, Zhuge Feng, presented him a wooden box, then left.
Zhuge Feng sat in his armchair. Beside him were Murong Chun and Xia Liyan.
“Hill Master, quickly take a look.” Murong Chun said, “Is it really the Crouching Bull Insight.”
Even if they saw it, they would not know if it was real, since only the hill master could cultivate the Crouching Bull Insight. He was the only one who had seen the Crouching Bull Insight before.
He stared at the purple wooden box anxiously. Then, he took a deep break and opened it slowly. Inside the box laid a thin book, it was yellowish with glimpses of black color speckled across its surface. It looked quite unremarkable, such that nobody would pick it up if it was casually dumped on the floor.
Zhuge Feng held it up slowly, then he opened it and flipped through carefully.
After a brief moment, he looked up and smiled at the two of them. “Indeed, it’s the second half of the Crouching Bull Insight!”
“Haha, Crouching Bull Mountain can revitalize now!” Murong Chun laughed out loud.
Xia Liyan laughed joyously as well.
Zhuge Feng held the book in his arms and laughed alongside them as he said, “With the Crouching Bull Insight, what do we have to fear? We finally fulfilled the wish of all the hill masters before us!”
“Hill Master, the Young Lord must be credited for this!” Murong Chun said, “Let us inform the Young Lord about this.”
“Yes, we’ll have to let him know.” Zhuge Feng nodded and said, “I’ve already let him see the first half of the Crouching Bull Insight, in case I become careless and somehow lose its legacy. Now, I’ll let him have a look at the second half as well.”
“That’s right.” Murong Chun and Xia Liyan nodded in agreement.
Chu Li was swiftly called over. He obediently did a fist salute and sat down near them.
“Take a look.” Zhuge Feng passed the book to him.
Chu Li received it and looked at it. He imprinted all of its contents in his mind by taking a glance at it, then he nodded. “Seems like it’s real.”
He had already seen both parts of the insight, so now the entirety of the Crouching Bull Insight was in his mind.
There were only a few thin silk pages in the second half, and its contents were far less than the first half, yet, it was the perfect finishing touch.
When he looked at the first half of Crouching Bull Insight, he felt that it was very basic. It was no wonder Zhuge Feng’s cultivation level was not top-notch since he had not achieved the essence of the Crouching Bull Insight.
The second half was a set of explanations for the step techniques and heart techniques, in which nine Cattle Drawings were shown.
Only with the nine Cattle Drawings can the true abilities of Crouching Bull Power be achieved. Without the nine Cattle Drawings, one would not be able to arrive at the essence of Crouching Bull Power. One could only obtain its form, but the difference in terms of ability would be miles apart.
Chu Li flipped through the Crouching Bull Insight in his mind and was perfectly satisfied.
After all, he had not wasted his effort and time. He had finally obtained a top-notch antique study of spirit beasts. This, in addition to his Art of White Tiger, would be two top-notch antique studies.
If he could cultivate the Spirit Crane Technique as well, he would be well on the path to heaven. As long as he continued to focus on his cultivation, he would probably become an Enlightened Master.
Chu Li said, “Hill Master, if I become the next hill master, I’ll make a change.”
“What change?” Zhuge Feng said.
Chu Li said, “All the disciples will be able to cultivate the Crouching Bull Insight! This way, it’ll strengthen the disciples’ cultivation levels, which will increase the strength of Crouching Bull Mountain. If we don’t do this, Crouching Bull Mountain will forever be unable to rise!”
The ancestor of Crouching Bull Mountain was an extremely powerful figure, but he was not broad-minded enough, such that he would rather keep the sect weak than risk the Crouching Bull Insight being leaked.
He wondered how many sects were exterminated because of how weak they were. Many of these sects did not have bad martial art studies, but their disciples could not access all the knowledge available to them, resulting in the sect just being weak overall.
Zhuge Feng’s face suddenly changed. “Don’t spout nonsense!”
Chu Li said, “They will be given access to each drawing based on merits. If they have enough merits, they’ll be taught the second drawing, then the third, up until the eighth. The Hill Master is the only one who will be able to cultivate the last drawing!”
“You’re whimsical!” Zhuge Feng scoffed and said, “This is a rule set by our ancestors. How can it be broken so easily?”
Chu Li shook his head. “The times have changed. The world is different now, if we don’t change, Crouching Bull Mountain will become weaker and weaker. Don’t even talk about rising, I’m afraid that we’re fast approaching the extermination of our sect!”
Murong Chun and Xia Liyan frowned. “But if we pass the insight on to the disciples, I’m afraid that it’ll be leaked.”
“So what if it’s leaked?” Chu Li shook his head and said, “At most, a handful of drawings will be leaked. Look at the martial arts of Tempest Temple, at least three levels of the Sentient Menace were leaked, but what damage did it do to them?”
The three of them including Zhuge Feng frowned and pondered.
Chu Li continued, “If our martial arts is leaked, it would actually be beneficial to us – as long as the essence isn’t leaked. We can expand our influence, not to mention, filter and select talents. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages!”
“We must think this matter through carefully!” Zhuge Feng shook his head.
Chu Li scoffed. “If we drag this on, we’ll get destroyed if someone picks a fight with us. Other than myself, everyone else is not good enough. Will our destruction be better than our martial arts being leaked?”
Zhuge Feng fell silent.
Chu Li continued, “Hill Master, even if you won’t do it, when I become the hill master, I’ll implement it for sure!”
“… I’ll have to discuss with the elders first.” Zhuge Feng said in a hoarse voice.
Chu Li nodded and returned the silk book to him, then he bowed with a fist salute and left.

"value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 方源望着天都神君和虱侯快要在天边消失的身影，最终收回眼神，颇有些闪烁似的看向身边的仙僵古业。\n语气斟酌地，又且犹豫地道：“古兄……不知道这样的，呃，发生了几次？”\n只是最近秦百胜的拍卖大会即将举办，一些无耻之徒为了够资格在这等盛事上掺和一脚，就想方设法地攫取资本。”\n方源没有出头，古业却也没有怪他。 本来就不抱什么希望，心中的失落和悲伤，也就和方源无关。\n这样一来，虽然接触的时间不长，古业心中却更加认定——方源和自己的处境相当，甚至还稍微不如，是一个无奈转为仙僵的落魄蛊仙。\n“可是这样的吃相，未免太难看了。” 方源佯装不忿地道。\n“至少还有一块遮羞布。”\n古业不疑有他，用嘲讽的目光，看向手中的一块仙元石。\n这块仙元石正是刚刚，虱侯和天都神君为了三百斤枯萎精髓，而付出的“代价”。\n他晃了晃手中的仙元石：“你看，天都神君、虱侯二人虽强，但顾忌到我们背后的僵盟，也得给一块这样的脸面。”\n“难道，难道僵盟的脸面，就只值一块仙元石吗？” 方源语气很艰难，很苍白，透着一股虚弱和探究。\n古业便笑起来。\n他的笑容很苦涩，掺杂了许多的无奈、辛酸、悲凉。\n他看向方源，就仿佛看到曾经刚刚加入僵盟的自己。\n他又拍拍方源的肩膀：“沙老弟啊，你如今也走到了这一步，也知道仙僵的苦处弊端。 咱们仙僵福地已死，不能经营，不能自产仙元。\n“你也许很早就听说了，是，僵盟中的确有像你我这般的许多仙僵。 但是你要想靠这些人为你撑腰，为你撑脸面，你也得要付出啊。”\n仙僵福地已死，更难以经营创收，更依赖外物，如此情形，便使得仙僵们更要刻意算计，常常是多忍让少战斗。 唯有如此，才能勉强维持生计。 就像方源之前那样，不能自产青提仙元，只能用仙元石替代。\n压力太大了，和黑城激斗的那次，差点叫经济崩溃，再度陷入困境。\n幸亏方源有一座狐仙福地，让仙窍死地不再那么重要。\n更幸运的是，得到了智慧蛊的帮助。 蹭用智慧之光，好处极巨。\n先是和琅琊地灵的仙蛊方交易，将方源脱出泥潭。 而后借助智慧光晕，创造出气囊蛊，买卖胆识蛊，更使得仙鹤门妥协，大大改善了整个生存环境。\n“我若没有这些东西，恐怕也要和古业一样，处境悲凉不堪。” 方源心中感慨，表面则作恍然状，后撤一步，躬身抱拳道：“古兄，在下受教了。”\n古业摇摇头：“这些道理，不用我说，过段时间你自会了解的。 不用谢，不用谢。\n方源随着古业，来到地老木的枝干深处，再度见到那座精致华美的木城。\n古业领前而飞，来到木城中央的大广场。\n广场破败不堪，从碎裂的地砖，周围败坏的花坛，已经干涸的喷泉处，或可窥探一丝往日的繁华。\n古业、方源二人在广场中央站定。\n古业调动真元，顿时广场地面骤亮。\n原本厚实的地面，变得半透明，宛若一块巨大的碧玉。\n碧玉中光华流转着，无数只蛊虫的身影，在里面纷飞起舞。\n与此同时，从古业的身上，又飞出一大蓬的凡蛊，以五转宇道蛊，四转木道蛊居多。 这些蛊虫飞在方源的头顶上空，在半空中宛若飓风一样迅速飞旋，在昏暗的环境里，渐渐划出一道道的流光溢彩。\n古业催动不止，这些流光迅速增多，很快方源的头顶上空，便是一片汪汪碧蓝。\n“这是咱们僵盟自己研发的顶级凡道杀招，名为绿晶华英道。\n跨越十多万里，直接连通地老木和僵盟驻地。 你要知道咱们仙僵终究是蛊仙，身上布满道痕，寻常的手段根本无法传送我们。” 古业适时地解释道。\n方源点点头。\n仙僵虽然战力低下，导致地位也低下，思维也僵化，但到底底蕴还大多残留着。\n尤其是仙僵们处境相同，比寻常蛊仙更能抛开成见，相互合作。 因此研发出顶级凡道杀招，并不奇怪。\n古业又道：“我可是照看了僵盟中的那株万毒枣树，长达两年。 这才有了足够的僵盟贡献，换取了这个绿晶华英道。 哦，对了，你还不太清楚。\n他们没有定仙游，更没有星门，推杯换盏蛊也没有。\n寻常蛊仙用来沟通的通天蛊、洞地蛊，他们的死窍也用不了。\n因为通天蛊、洞地蛊只是凡蛊，之所以能够令福地、洞天相互连通，真正的原因是两方小世界默默付出的天地伟力。 而仙僵的福地洞天，已经死亡，根本无法付出天地伟力。\n只有这样，仙窍才会奉献天地之力。 若是偷偷架设，没有天地伟力，根本连不通。\n若将通天蛊或者洞地蛊，架设在五域中，也会无法使用。\n“啊，原来绿晶华英道杀招这么重要啊。” 听到古业再度解释，方源脸上恰当地浮现出几许羡慕之色。\n古业捕捉到方源的脸色，心中顿爽，刚刚因为强买的悲愤之情，也随之缓和了许多。\n幸福，通常都是比较而来的。\n一时间，古业看待方源，更觉得顺眼了。\n一道粗大的碧光，从茂密枯黄的地老树枝丛中，冲天而起。\n片刻后，十多万里外的阴流城中，位于东南角的广场上，陡然一道深绿光柱轰然落下。\n流光席卷广场，映照得周围一片绿色。 大风卷席，广场上的铁吊笼路灯，不断吱呀摇晃。\n流光迅速消散一空，原本空无一人的广场上，出现了古业和方源。\n“走吧，不要在这里多逗留。” 古业定了定神，当即迈开脚步，方源紧随其后。\n这座名唤阴流的巨城，通体玄黑，宛若一座洪荒巨兽，静静地盘踞在大地上。\n时值落日西下，还有光线。\n但阴流巨城却是从每一块砖，每一块瓦上，外散着浓浓阴暗，将周围方圆千里之地，渲染成一片黑暗。\n尤其是越到中央，越接近阴流巨城，这黑暗便越是浓郁。\n长街大道两旁，每隔数百步，便竖有路灯。 但这些路灯，均是散发着昏黄虚弱的火光，只能映照出数十步距离。 路灯与路灯中间，隔着一段长长的黑暗，更显得巨城幽暗空旷。\n偌大的阴流城，仿佛是一座空城。\n但隐隐的，仍旧会有一些嘈杂声响，从巨城的下方传出。\n“这里就是咱们僵盟在北原的大本营，犹如山般巨大。 分有七层，底下五层是凡人蛊师居所，十分热闹。\n僵盟并非只有仙级成员的组织，而是涵盖了凡人蛊师。\n只是这些蛊师，大多走的暗道，养尸、驱尸，甚至变化成僵尸。\n二人行走了片刻，未见到任何一人，来到一座大殿的门前。\n大殿两旁，伫立着两座高大的石像，比方源的八臂仙僵躯体还要高壮。\n方源仔细看去，双眼微微眯起，却是发现着两座石像大不简单。\n这是阴六公的仙道杀招石皮棺椁，里面包裹的可不是一般僵尸，而是仙僵。” 古业说到这里，语气不由自主地低沉下去，“阴六公是咱们僵盟里的强者之一，首领离开北原时，任命了三个副城主，他就是其中之一，可以驱使仙僵为他作战。”\n“阴六公……”方源默默将这个名字记在心头。\n这个名字，他前世记忆中并没有。 但只凭阴六公能够驱使仙僵作战的手段，就很值得重视。\n“前世我崛起时，已经是三四百年后的事情了。 这期间，并非没有豪雄，只是因为各种原因，被光阴长河冲刷了去。” 方源谨慎，一点没有大意。\n“你来推门。” 古业忽然侧身相让，“只要你能推开这道大门，你就有加入僵盟的资格。”\n方源沉默地伸出双臂，搭在门扉上，轻轻一用力，就推开了一道门缝。\n立时，二十多道或犀利，或阴沉，或呆滞的目光顺着门缝，朝着方源电射而来。\n方源故意面色微变，随后深吸一口气，猛推一把，将大门彻底推开。\n古业哈哈一笑，拍拍方源的肩膀：“能推得开这道大门，就证明你是咱们北原的人。 来吧，你来的时间很巧，今天正是咱们僵盟议事的日子！”.\nEnglish:\n"

"value": "Atlas Studios Fang Yuan watched as Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou disappeared into the horizon, before retracting his gaze, looking at the immortal zombie Gu Ye beside him with a slightly flickering gaze.\nWith a trembling and hesitant voice, he said: “Brother Gu… may I ask… how many times has this happened?”\nGu Ye restrained his grieving expression, and patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder, comforting him on the contrary: “Not too many. It is just that with the nearing of Qin Bai Sheng’s auction, some shameless scumbags are trying everything they can to get the capital to participate in this level of grand event.”\nFang Yuan had not helped him, but Gu Ye did not blame him. He did not have any hope, thus his disappointment and grief had no relation to Fang Yuan.\nWith this, even though they had just met each other, Gu Ye was even more certain that Fang Yuan’s situation was similar to his and even slightly worse, as a fallen Gu Immortal who had helplessly turned to becoming an immortal zombie.\n“But this behavior is too ugly.” Fang Yuan pretended to be indignant.\nThis expression looked like his true feelings in Gu Ye’s eyes.\n“At least there is something to cover the humiliation.” Gu Ye looked at the immortal essence stone on his hand with irony.\nThis immortal essence stone was the ‘price’ Shi Hou and Divine Lord Tian Du had paid for one hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence.\nHe shook the immortal essence stone: “Look, Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou might be strong, but they still are apprehensive of Zombie Alliance behind us and had to give us face in this way.”\n“Could it be… could it be that Zombie Alliance’s face is only worth one immortal essence stone?” Fang Yuan expression was aghast, as he made an inquiry.\nGu Ye laughed.\nHis laughter was bitter, mixed with helplessness, sadness and grief.\nHe looked at Fang Yuan, and felt he was looking at himself back when he had just joined Zombie Alliance.\nHe patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder again: “Brother Sha, you have reached this point and also know the hardships and disadvantages of immortal zombie. Blessed lands of us immortal zombies are already dead and cannot be operated, and cannot produce immortal essence. If I have to say it bluntly, we are on our dying breaths. Thus, we have to rely on external resources even more than those living Gu Immortals.”\n“You also might have already heard about it, Zombie Alliance indeed has many immortal zombies like you. But if you want to rely on these people as support and to help maintain your face, you have to pay the price.” Gu Ye’s words had deep implications.\n“Yes. If you want to request a rank six immortal zombie to help you, you need two immortal essence stones, and this is only the initial price, the concrete amount will depend on how intense the fight is. If you want to request a rank seven immortal zombie, you need twenty immortal essence stones. Similarly, this price is only the initial price. If you have sufficient immortal essence stones, you can even request the whole of Zombie Alliance to support you. But if you don’t have money or don’t want to pay the price, then your face can only be worth this much.”\nLike with Fang Yuan previously, he could not produce green grape immortal essence by himself and could only use immortal essence stones to substitute. The pressure was too high; in that intense battle with Hei Cheng, his finances almost collapsed and fell into a plight again.\nFortunately, Fang Yuan had Hu Immortal blessed land, which reduced the significance of his immortal aperture being dead.\nWhat was even more fortunate was that he had wisdom Gu’s help. And there were extremely large benefits to using the light of wisdom with an immortal zombie body.\nFirst was the Immortal Gu recipe transactions with Lang Ya land spirit, which allowed Fang Yuan to get out of the mire. Then with the help of the light of wisdom, he was able to innovate airsac Gu and engage in the guts Gu business, making Immortal Crane Sect compromise, and greatly improving his entire living environment.\n‘If I didn’t have these, my situation might be extremely dismal just like Gu Ye’s.’ Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, while on the surface he showed a look of realization and took a step back, bowing and cupping his fists: “Brother Gu Ye, I have received your teachings.”\nGu Ye shook his head: “Even without me speaking of these truths, you would understand it for yourself after some time. No need for thanks. Come, I will bring you to Zombie Alliance.”\nFang Yuan followed Gu Ye to the depths of the old earth wood branches at that exquisite wood city again.\nGu Ye flew ahead to a large plaza in the center of the wood city.\nThe plaza was in ruins, from the damaged floor tiles to the surrounding destroyed flower beds and dried up fountain; one might be able to only get a glimpse of its past prosperity.\nGu Ye and Fang Yuan stood in the center of the plaza.\n“Rise.” Gu Ye mobilized his primeval essence, the plaza’s surface instantly brightened.\nThe thick and solid floor became translucent like a giant jade.\nThe green jade light circulated around, shadows of countless Gu worms fluttered within the light.\nAt the same time, large numbers of mortal Gu flew out of Gu Ye’s body, mostly being rank five space path Gu and rank four wood path Gu. These Gu worms flew above Fang Yuan and started to rapidly revolve like a hurricane, in the dusky surroundings, rays of brilliant light gradually appeared.\nGu Ye continued to mobilize his primeval essence unceasingly, these flowing lights rapidly increased in number and soon created a vast bluish-green patch.\nUntold numbers of mortal Gu, under some wondrous rhythm, converged their powers, overlaying on top of one another and mutually amplifying themselves, finally forming a might display.\n“This is a top tier mortal killer move our Zombie Alliance researched, green crystal hero’s path. It can span across hundreds of thousands of li, directly connecting the old earth wood and Zombie Alliance’s garrison. You know us immortal zombies are Gu Immortals as well, our bodies are filled with dao marks, thus normal methods are unable to transport us.” Gu Ye explained at the appropriate moment.\nFang Yuan nodded.\nImmortal zombies might have weaker battle strength causing their status to lower, and their thoughts to slow down, but their accumulations and foundations still remained for the most part.\nEspecially when immortal zombies are in a similar situation, they could cast aside prejudices unlike normal Gu Immortals and cooperate with each other. Thus, being able to research a peak tier mortal killer move was not strange.\nGu Ye continued: “I looked after the myriad poison date tree in Zombie Alliance for two years before I was able to get enough contribution points to exchange for this Green Crystal Hero’s Path. Ah, right, you might be confused. Brother Sha, if you choose tasks which needs you to go outside, Zombie Alliance’s prerequisite is that you have to grasp the killer move Green Crystal Hero’s Path. Only with this can you reach Zombie Alliance at any time.”\nThey did not have Fixed Immortal Travel, did not have Stargate and also did not have moving perspective cup Gu.\nNormal Gu Immortals could use connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu; but immortal zombies could not because of their dead apertures.\nConnecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu were only mortal Gu, the reason they could connect between blessed lands or grotto-heavens was because the two small worlds involved would silently consume heavenly power. And an immortal zombie’s blessed land or grotto-heaven was already dead, and was unable to expend heavenly power.\nTo set up connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu required the consent of both sides. Only with this, the immortal apertures could use heavenly power. If they were secretly set up, they would not be able to connect because of the absence of heavenly power.\nConnecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu also could not be used if they were set up outside in the five regions.\n“Ah, so green crystal hero’s path was this important!” Hearing Gu Ye explain again, Fang Yuan showed an appropriately admiring and envious look.\nGu Ye caught Fang Yuan’s expression and felt refreshed, the grief from the forceful transaction earlier eased up by a lot.\nHappiness often comes from comparison.\nInstantly, Gu Ye felt Fang Yuan was much more pleasing to the eyes.\nA thick green light soared to the skies from the dense dried yellow old earth branches and leaves.\nAfter a while, in Dark Flow City, over a hundred thousand li away, on the plaza in the southeast section, a dark green light suddenly fell down.\nThe light engulfed the plaza, dying the surroundings green. Wind surged, and the hanging iron lanterns in the plaza constantly shook and squeaked.\nThe light quickly disappeared, in the originally empty plaza appeared Gu Ye and Fang Yuan.\n“Let’s go, we should not stay here for long.” Gu Ye composed himself and walked forward, with Fang Yuan closely following behind.\nThis giant city was named Dark Flow; it was pitch black, resembling a giant beast sprawled on the ground.\nThe sun was setting to the west and there was still a source of light.\nHowever, every tile and brick of the giant Dark Flow City emitted a dense darkness that dyed the surroundings black.\nEspecially, the closer one got to the center of Dark Flow Giant City, the denser this darkness became.\nFang Yuan and Gu Ye walked ahead, but saw no humans in their path. The long path had street lamps erected every few hundred steps. But these street lamps let out weak dusky yellow light which only lit some dozens of steps, leaving behind long stretches of darkness in between the gaps of the street lamps, making the darkness of the giant city even more conspicuous.\nThe large Dark Flow City felt like an abandoned city.\nHowever, there were still some faint clamoring noises coming from below the giant city.\n“This is the main headquarters of our Zombie Alliance in Northern Plains, and it is almost as large as a mountain. It is divided into seven floors; the lower five floors are the residences of mortal Gu Masters and are very bustling and clamorous. One floor above is where immortal zombies and people with some relation to us reside. The highest floor has the conference hall where three rank seven immortal zombies are stationed throughout the year.” Gu Ye gave an appropriate explanation.\nZombie Alliance was not an organization that was only formed from immortal level members, but also covered mortal Gu Masters.\nThese Gu Masters, for the most part, made use of dark path; raising zombies, commanding zombies and even transforming into zombies.\nThe two walked for a while, arriving in front of a large hall without seeing anyone in the way.\nTall stone statues stood on either side of the large hall, they were taller and bulkier than even Fang Yuan’s eight arm immortal zombie physique.\nFang Yuan carefully observed them. His eyes narrowed slightly as he discovered these stone statues were not as simple as they looked.\n“You find it strange too? This is Yin Liu Gong’s immortal killer move Stone Casket, inside them are not ordinary zombies but immortal zombies.” Gu Ye said this, then said in a lower voice, “Yin Liu Gong is one of the experts of our Zombie Alliance. When the city lord left Northern Plains, they assigned three deputy city lords; he is one them and can command immortal zombies to fight for him.”\n“Yin Liu Gong…” Fang Yuan silently engraved this name to his mind.\nThis name was not in his previous life’s memories. But just based on the fact Yin Liu Gong could command immortal zombies to fight, he needed to be attached importance.\n“In my previous life, my rise was a matter that occurred three to four hundred years later. And in this period of time, it was not that no outstanding characters emerged, but due to all sorts of reasons, they were washed away by the river of time.” Fang Yuan was cautious, with no hint of carelessness.\n“Come and push the door.” Gu Ye suddenly moved to the side, “So long as you can open this large door, you will have the qualifications to join Zombie Alliance.”\nFang Yuan quietly put his two arms on the door and softly pushed, opening the door by a sliver.\nInstantly, over twenty sharp, gloomy or dull gazes followed the crack and shot towards Fang Yuan.\nFang Yuan intentionally changed his expression slightly, then he took a deep breath and fiercely pushed open the door completely.\nGu Ye laughed heartily while patting Fang Yuan’s shoulder: “Being able to push open this large door means you are a person of Northern Plains. Come, your timing is really exquisite, our Zombie Alliance’s meeting is held today!”"

方源望着天都神君和虱侯快要在天边消失的身影，最终收回眼神，颇有些闪烁似的看向身边的仙僵古业。
语气斟酌地，又且犹豫地道：“古兄……不知道这样的，呃，发生了几次？”
只是最近秦百胜的拍卖大会即将举办，一些无耻之徒为了够资格在这等盛事上掺和一脚，就想方设法地攫取资本。”
方源没有出头，古业却也没有怪他。 本来就不抱什么希望，心中的失落和悲伤，也就和方源无关。
这样一来，虽然接触的时间不长，古业心中却更加认定——方源和自己的处境相当，甚至还稍微不如，是一个无奈转为仙僵的落魄蛊仙。
“可是这样的吃相，未免太难看了。” 方源佯装不忿地道。
“至少还有一块遮羞布。”
古业不疑有他，用嘲讽的目光，看向手中的一块仙元石。
这块仙元石正是刚刚，虱侯和天都神君为了三百斤枯萎精髓，而付出的“代价”。
他晃了晃手中的仙元石：“你看，天都神君、虱侯二人虽强，但顾忌到我们背后的僵盟，也得给一块这样的脸面。”
“难道，难道僵盟的脸面，就只值一块仙元石吗？” 方源语气很艰难，很苍白，透着一股虚弱和探究。
古业便笑起来。
他的笑容很苦涩，掺杂了许多的无奈、辛酸、悲凉。
他看向方源，就仿佛看到曾经刚刚加入僵盟的自己。
他又拍拍方源的肩膀：“沙老弟啊，你如今也走到了这一步，也知道仙僵的苦处弊端。 咱们仙僵福地已死，不能经营，不能自产仙元。
“你也许很早就听说了，是，僵盟中的确有像你我这般的许多仙僵。 但是你要想靠这些人为你撑腰，为你撑脸面，你也得要付出啊。”
仙僵福地已死，更难以经营创收，更依赖外物，如此情形，便使得仙僵们更要刻意算计，常常是多忍让少战斗。 唯有如此，才能勉强维持生计。 就像方源之前那样，不能自产青提仙元，只能用仙元石替代。
压力太大了，和黑城激斗的那次，差点叫经济崩溃，再度陷入困境。
幸亏方源有一座狐仙福地，让仙窍死地不再那么重要。
更幸运的是，得到了智慧蛊的帮助。 蹭用智慧之光，好处极巨。
先是和琅琊地灵的仙蛊方交易，将方源脱出泥潭。 而后借助智慧光晕，创造出气囊蛊，买卖胆识蛊，更使得仙鹤门妥协，大大改善了整个生存环境。
“我若没有这些东西，恐怕也要和古业一样，处境悲凉不堪。” 方源心中感慨，表面则作恍然状，后撤一步，躬身抱拳道：“古兄，在下受教了。”
古业摇摇头：“这些道理，不用我说，过段时间你自会了解的。 不用谢，不用谢。
方源随着古业，来到地老木的枝干深处，再度见到那座精致华美的木城。
古业领前而飞，来到木城中央的大广场。
广场破败不堪，从碎裂的地砖，周围败坏的花坛，已经干涸的喷泉处，或可窥探一丝往日的繁华。
古业、方源二人在广场中央站定。
古业调动真元，顿时广场地面骤亮。
原本厚实的地面，变得半透明，宛若一块巨大的碧玉。
碧玉中光华流转着，无数只蛊虫的身影，在里面纷飞起舞。
与此同时，从古业的身上，又飞出一大蓬的凡蛊，以五转宇道蛊，四转木道蛊居多。 这些蛊虫飞在方源的头顶上空，在半空中宛若飓风一样迅速飞旋，在昏暗的环境里，渐渐划出一道道的流光溢彩。
古业催动不止，这些流光迅速增多，很快方源的头顶上空，便是一片汪汪碧蓝。
“这是咱们僵盟自己研发的顶级凡道杀招，名为绿晶华英道。
跨越十多万里，直接连通地老木和僵盟驻地。 你要知道咱们仙僵终究是蛊仙，身上布满道痕，寻常的手段根本无法传送我们。” 古业适时地解释道。
方源点点头。
仙僵虽然战力低下，导致地位也低下，思维也僵化，但到底底蕴还大多残留着。
尤其是仙僵们处境相同，比寻常蛊仙更能抛开成见，相互合作。 因此研发出顶级凡道杀招，并不奇怪。
古业又道：“我可是照看了僵盟中的那株万毒枣树，长达两年。 这才有了足够的僵盟贡献，换取了这个绿晶华英道。 哦，对了，你还不太清楚。
他们没有定仙游，更没有星门，推杯换盏蛊也没有。
寻常蛊仙用来沟通的通天蛊、洞地蛊，他们的死窍也用不了。
因为通天蛊、洞地蛊只是凡蛊，之所以能够令福地、洞天相互连通，真正的原因是两方小世界默默付出的天地伟力。 而仙僵的福地洞天，已经死亡，根本无法付出天地伟力。
只有这样，仙窍才会奉献天地之力。 若是偷偷架设，没有天地伟力，根本连不通。
若将通天蛊或者洞地蛊，架设在五域中，也会无法使用。
“啊，原来绿晶华英道杀招这么重要啊。” 听到古业再度解释，方源脸上恰当地浮现出几许羡慕之色。
古业捕捉到方源的脸色，心中顿爽，刚刚因为强买的悲愤之情，也随之缓和了许多。
幸福，通常都是比较而来的。
一时间，古业看待方源，更觉得顺眼了。
一道粗大的碧光，从茂密枯黄的地老树枝丛中，冲天而起。
片刻后，十多万里外的阴流城中，位于东南角的广场上，陡然一道深绿光柱轰然落下。
流光席卷广场，映照得周围一片绿色。 大风卷席，广场上的铁吊笼路灯，不断吱呀摇晃。
流光迅速消散一空，原本空无一人的广场上，出现了古业和方源。
“走吧，不要在这里多逗留。” 古业定了定神，当即迈开脚步，方源紧随其后。
这座名唤阴流的巨城，通体玄黑，宛若一座洪荒巨兽，静静地盘踞在大地上。
时值落日西下，还有光线。
但阴流巨城却是从每一块砖，每一块瓦上，外散着浓浓阴暗，将周围方圆千里之地，渲染成一片黑暗。
尤其是越到中央，越接近阴流巨城，这黑暗便越是浓郁。
长街大道两旁，每隔数百步，便竖有路灯。 但这些路灯，均是散发着昏黄虚弱的火光，只能映照出数十步距离。 路灯与路灯中间，隔着一段长长的黑暗，更显得巨城幽暗空旷。
偌大的阴流城，仿佛是一座空城。
但隐隐的，仍旧会有一些嘈杂声响，从巨城的下方传出。
“这里就是咱们僵盟在北原的大本营，犹如山般巨大。 分有七层，底下五层是凡人蛊师居所，十分热闹。
僵盟并非只有仙级成员的组织，而是涵盖了凡人蛊师。
只是这些蛊师，大多走的暗道，养尸、驱尸，甚至变化成僵尸。
二人行走了片刻，未见到任何一人，来到一座大殿的门前。
大殿两旁，伫立着两座高大的石像，比方源的八臂仙僵躯体还要高壮。
方源仔细看去，双眼微微眯起，却是发现着两座石像大不简单。
这是阴六公的仙道杀招石皮棺椁，里面包裹的可不是一般僵尸，而是仙僵。” 古业说到这里，语气不由自主地低沉下去，“阴六公是咱们僵盟里的强者之一，首领离开北原时，任命了三个副城主，他就是其中之一，可以驱使仙僵为他作战。”
“阴六公……”方源默默将这个名字记在心头。
这个名字，他前世记忆中并没有。 但只凭阴六公能够驱使仙僵作战的手段，就很值得重视。
“前世我崛起时，已经是三四百年后的事情了。 这期间，并非没有豪雄，只是因为各种原因，被光阴长河冲刷了去。” 方源谨慎，一点没有大意。
“你来推门。” 古业忽然侧身相让，“只要你能推开这道大门，你就有加入僵盟的资格。”
方源沉默地伸出双臂，搭在门扉上，轻轻一用力，就推开了一道门缝。
立时，二十多道或犀利，或阴沉，或呆滞的目光顺着门缝，朝着方源电射而来。
方源故意面色微变，随后深吸一口气，猛推一把，将大门彻底推开。
古业哈哈一笑，拍拍方源的肩膀：“能推得开这道大门，就证明你是咱们北原的人。 来吧，你来的时间很巧，今天正是咱们僵盟议事的日子！”

Atlas Studios Fang Yuan watched as Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou disappeared into the horizon, before retracting his gaze, looking at the immortal zombie Gu Ye beside him with a slightly flickering gaze.
With a trembling and hesitant voice, he said: “Brother Gu… may I ask… how many times has this happened?”
Gu Ye restrained his grieving expression, and patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder, comforting him on the contrary: “Not too many. It is just that with the nearing of Qin Bai Sheng’s auction, some shameless scumbags are trying everything they can to get the capital to participate in this level of grand event.”
Fang Yuan had not helped him, but Gu Ye did not blame him. He did not have any hope, thus his disappointment and grief had no relation to Fang Yuan.
With this, even though they had just met each other, Gu Ye was even more certain that Fang Yuan’s situation was similar to his and even slightly worse, as a fallen Gu Immortal who had helplessly turned to becoming an immortal zombie.
“But this behavior is too ugly.” Fang Yuan pretended to be indignant.
This expression looked like his true feelings in Gu Ye’s eyes.
“At least there is something to cover the humiliation.” Gu Ye looked at the immortal essence stone on his hand with irony.
This immortal essence stone was the ‘price’ Shi Hou and Divine Lord Tian Du had paid for one hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence.
He shook the immortal essence stone: “Look, Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou might be strong, but they still are apprehensive of Zombie Alliance behind us and had to give us face in this way.”
“Could it be… could it be that Zombie Alliance’s face is only worth one immortal essence stone?” Fang Yuan expression was aghast, as he made an inquiry.
Gu Ye laughed.
His laughter was bitter, mixed with helplessness, sadness and grief.
He looked at Fang Yuan, and felt he was looking at himself back when he had just joined Zombie Alliance.
He patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder again: “Brother Sha, you have reached this point and also know the hardships and disadvantages of immortal zombie. Blessed lands of us immortal zombies are already dead and cannot be operated, and cannot produce immortal essence. If I have to say it bluntly, we are on our dying breaths. Thus, we have to rely on external resources even more than those living Gu Immortals.”
“You also might have already heard about it, Zombie Alliance indeed has many immortal zombies like you. But if you want to rely on these people as support and to help maintain your face, you have to pay the price.” Gu Ye’s words had deep implications.
“Yes. If you want to request a rank six immortal zombie to help you, you need two immortal essence stones, and this is only the initial price, the concrete amount will depend on how intense the fight is. If you want to request a rank seven immortal zombie, you need twenty immortal essence stones. Similarly, this price is only the initial price. If you have sufficient immortal essence stones, you can even request the whole of Zombie Alliance to support you. But if you don’t have money or don’t want to pay the price, then your face can only be worth this much.”
Like with Fang Yuan previously, he could not produce green grape immortal essence by himself and could only use immortal essence stones to substitute. The pressure was too high; in that intense battle with Hei Cheng, his finances almost collapsed and fell into a plight again.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had Hu Immortal blessed land, which reduced the significance of his immortal aperture being dead.
What was even more fortunate was that he had wisdom Gu’s help. And there were extremely large benefits to using the light of wisdom with an immortal zombie body.
First was the Immortal Gu recipe transactions with Lang Ya land spirit, which allowed Fang Yuan to get out of the mire. Then with the help of the light of wisdom, he was able to innovate airsac Gu and engage in the guts Gu business, making Immortal Crane Sect compromise, and greatly improving his entire living environment.
‘If I didn’t have these, my situation might be extremely dismal just like Gu Ye’s.’ Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, while on the surface he showed a look of realization and took a step back, bowing and cupping his fists: “Brother Gu Ye, I have received your teachings.”
Gu Ye shook his head: “Even without me speaking of these truths, you would understand it for yourself after some time. No need for thanks. Come, I will bring you to Zombie Alliance.”
Fang Yuan followed Gu Ye to the depths of the old earth wood branches at that exquisite wood city again.
Gu Ye flew ahead to a large plaza in the center of the wood city.
The plaza was in ruins, from the damaged floor tiles to the surrounding destroyed flower beds and dried up fountain; one might be able to only get a glimpse of its past prosperity.
Gu Ye and Fang Yuan stood in the center of the plaza.
“Rise.” Gu Ye mobilized his primeval essence, the plaza’s surface instantly brightened.
The thick and solid floor became translucent like a giant jade.
The green jade light circulated around, shadows of countless Gu worms fluttered within the light.
At the same time, large numbers of mortal Gu flew out of Gu Ye’s body, mostly being rank five space path Gu and rank four wood path Gu. These Gu worms flew above Fang Yuan and started to rapidly revolve like a hurricane, in the dusky surroundings, rays of brilliant light gradually appeared.
Gu Ye continued to mobilize his primeval essence unceasingly, these flowing lights rapidly increased in number and soon created a vast bluish-green patch.
Untold numbers of mortal Gu, under some wondrous rhythm, converged their powers, overlaying on top of one another and mutually amplifying themselves, finally forming a might display.
“This is a top tier mortal killer move our Zombie Alliance researched, green crystal hero’s path. It can span across hundreds of thousands of li, directly connecting the old earth wood and Zombie Alliance’s garrison. You know us immortal zombies are Gu Immortals as well, our bodies are filled with dao marks, thus normal methods are unable to transport us.” Gu Ye explained at the appropriate moment.
Fang Yuan nodded.
Immortal zombies might have weaker battle strength causing their status to lower, and their thoughts to slow down, but their accumulations and foundations still remained for the most part.
Especially when immortal zombies are in a similar situation, they could cast aside prejudices unlike normal Gu Immortals and cooperate with each other. Thus, being able to research a peak tier mortal killer move was not strange.
Gu Ye continued: “I looked after the myriad poison date tree in Zombie Alliance for two years before I was able to get enough contribution points to exchange for this Green Crystal Hero’s Path. Ah, right, you might be confused. Brother Sha, if you choose tasks which needs you to go outside, Zombie Alliance’s prerequisite is that you have to grasp the killer move Green Crystal Hero’s Path. Only with this can you reach Zombie Alliance at any time.”
They did not have Fixed Immortal Travel, did not have Stargate and also did not have moving perspective cup Gu.
Normal Gu Immortals could use connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu; but immortal zombies could not because of their dead apertures.
Connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu were only mortal Gu, the reason they could connect between blessed lands or grotto-heavens was because the two small worlds involved would silently consume heavenly power. And an immortal zombie’s blessed land or grotto-heaven was already dead, and was unable to expend heavenly power.
To set up connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu required the consent of both sides. Only with this, the immortal apertures could use heavenly power. If they were secretly set up, they would not be able to connect because of the absence of heavenly power.
Connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu also could not be used if they were set up outside in the five regions.
“Ah, so green crystal hero’s path was this important!” Hearing Gu Ye explain again, Fang Yuan showed an appropriately admiring and envious look.
Gu Ye caught Fang Yuan’s expression and felt refreshed, the grief from the forceful transaction earlier eased up by a lot.
Happiness often comes from comparison.
Instantly, Gu Ye felt Fang Yuan was much more pleasing to the eyes.
A thick green light soared to the skies from the dense dried yellow old earth branches and leaves.
After a while, in Dark Flow City, over a hundred thousand li away, on the plaza in the southeast section, a dark green light suddenly fell down.
The light engulfed the plaza, dying the surroundings green. Wind surged, and the hanging iron lanterns in the plaza constantly shook and squeaked.
The light quickly disappeared, in the originally empty plaza appeared Gu Ye and Fang Yuan.
“Let’s go, we should not stay here for long.” Gu Ye composed himself and walked forward, with Fang Yuan closely following behind.
This giant city was named Dark Flow; it was pitch black, resembling a giant beast sprawled on the ground.
The sun was setting to the west and there was still a source of light.
However, every tile and brick of the giant Dark Flow City emitted a dense darkness that dyed the surroundings black.
Especially, the closer one got to the center of Dark Flow Giant City, the denser this darkness became.
Fang Yuan and Gu Ye walked ahead, but saw no humans in their path. The long path had street lamps erected every few hundred steps. But these street lamps let out weak dusky yellow light which only lit some dozens of steps, leaving behind long stretches of darkness in between the gaps of the street lamps, making the darkness of the giant city even more conspicuous.
The large Dark Flow City felt like an abandoned city.
However, there were still some faint clamoring noises coming from below the giant city.
“This is the main headquarters of our Zombie Alliance in Northern Plains, and it is almost as large as a mountain. It is divided into seven floors; the lower five floors are the residences of mortal Gu Masters and are very bustling and clamorous. One floor above is where immortal zombies and people with some relation to us reside. The highest floor has the conference hall where three rank seven immortal zombies are stationed throughout the year.” Gu Ye gave an appropriate explanation.
Zombie Alliance was not an organization that was only formed from immortal level members, but also covered mortal Gu Masters.
These Gu Masters, for the most part, made use of dark path; raising zombies, commanding zombies and even transforming into zombies.
The two walked for a while, arriving in front of a large hall without seeing anyone in the way.
Tall stone statues stood on either side of the large hall, they were taller and bulkier than even Fang Yuan’s eight arm immortal zombie physique.
Fang Yuan carefully observed them. His eyes narrowed slightly as he discovered these stone statues were not as simple as they looked.
“You find it strange too? This is Yin Liu Gong’s immortal killer move Stone Casket, inside them are not ordinary zombies but immortal zombies.” Gu Ye said this, then said in a lower voice, “Yin Liu Gong is one of the experts of our Zombie Alliance. When the city lord left Northern Plains, they assigned three deputy city lords; he is one them and can command immortal zombies to fight for him.”
“Yin Liu Gong…” Fang Yuan silently engraved this name to his mind.
This name was not in his previous life’s memories. But just based on the fact Yin Liu Gong could command immortal zombies to fight, he needed to be attached importance.
“In my previous life, my rise was a matter that occurred three to four hundred years later. And in this period of time, it was not that no outstanding characters emerged, but due to all sorts of reasons, they were washed away by the river of time.” Fang Yuan was cautious, with no hint of carelessness.
“Come and push the door.” Gu Ye suddenly moved to the side, “So long as you can open this large door, you will have the qualifications to join Zombie Alliance.”
Fang Yuan quietly put his two arms on the door and softly pushed, opening the door by a sliver.
Instantly, over twenty sharp, gloomy or dull gazes followed the crack and shot towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan intentionally changed his expression slightly, then he took a deep breath and fiercely pushed open the door completely.
Gu Ye laughed heartily while patting Fang Yuan’s shoulder: “Being able to push open this large door means you are a person of Northern Plains. Come, your timing is really exquisite, our Zombie Alliance’s meeting is held today!”

第九十九章
“系统，我现在的实力与西野寒柏相比，还有多少差距？”
李云牧决定了要全力争锋降临资格。
马上就作出了行动，不过在这之前，他倒是想知道，自己这几天的实力大涨，现在距离五维界的第一人，还有多少距离。
星网上，有关于西野寒柏的个人实力与详细信息太多了，正因为如此，系统很容易收集到西野寒柏的大数据信息，进行整合精度评估西野寒柏的整体实力。
而李云牧，自然也要按这个标准，来衡量自己的实力定位，现在他虽然很强，不过李云牧却知道。
天外有天，人外有人，偌大的六大洲，弦者千千万万。
此次既然降临者的资格，已经惊动了整个地球，那么说不定还有更厉害的隐修人物出世，因此如果连西野寒柏都接近不了的话，那就不用与天下争峰了。
根据霸刀这个前刀林门人分析，如果天下六大无上超然的门人，也会在全宇战出世，届时的争峰，真的相当可怕。
李云牧在这一个月多月前，他必须要把自身实力，提升到接近西野寒柏这个级别，否则冒然与天下大势力争雄，那就是炮灰而已。
“根据你们两人的大数据对比，现在宿主距离西野寒柏的实力差距，大概还有三筹距离吧。” 系统停顿了一会，回应道。
“三筹！ 差了三筹，已经在拉近了，不过还有一定距离。”
李云牧深吸一口气。
一等、一线、一筹！ 差了一等，这就是差了一个大等阶级的实力，已经是非常遥远的距离了，差了一线，意则对方明显比自己有优势。
这个优势是分明的，是能肉眼或直接看出来的差距。
而相差一筹半筹的话，那就是相当接近，两者相近，难分强弱，只有经过详尽的交锋，才能计算出这个一筹半筹的差距。
而三筹的话，既则表明，现在两人相差并不明显，但同样也不接近，西野寒柏仍然能硬吃李云牧。
不过李云牧不气馁，他才出道多长时间，对方已经是成长数年的人物，接下来还有一个月时间，他有信心超越对方。
很快，李云牧便进入了意识之海，打开了自己的个人信息面板。
经验值：三十六万八千。
内功值：一百零八万九千三百。
空元值：一万七千六百三十八。
血煞值：三十七万零五百四十三。
以上，便是李云牧现在四大资源的积累值，不错，荣耀之塔的怪物太强了，越高的塔层，怪物数量又多又集中。
因此，李云牧在里面闯塔了两天时间，却得到了大量的收益资源，其中所得到的经验值，还让他凝聚出了第五具、第六具女影子，先后被他命名为李梅、李兰。
而到了第七具影子的凝聚条件，已涨至了一百万经验值，现如今，他距离凝聚出第七具影子，还差了大半！
但是李云牧相信，接下来在王者真境中挂机，他甚至有希望在全宇战开启前，凝聚出第八具影子。
不过现在，他率先要做的是消耗大量的内功值，以此来更进一步，提升自己的实力了。 一百零八万点内功值，足可以让他为任何一门功法，升级到大成境界。
按照已修习的功法等级，理论上，应该优先修练大日霸体决这门无上淬体法门，然而大日霸体被一滴神血引发质变，大涨至三十重。
如今要晋升到第三十一重，仅一重就需要三十一万内功值，至此，李云牧暂时打消了全力专级这门淬体决。
不是他不想继续升，而是一百万内功值砸在它上面，提升根本不明显。
而且，如果他若是要提升第三十一重大日霸体决，还需要花费一万空元值，购买第三十一重至四十重的功法。
这显然没有比自己修行更为划算！
因为系统早已说的清清楚楚，李云牧如果用现实的修练方式，去修行大日霸体决，是不需要继续购大日霸体决的后功法的，因为现实修练一切水到渠水，根本不需再投入空元值购买后续功法。
这就是为什么他之前只购买了十重大日霸体决，但是一滴神血的引发的蜕变，却直接让他自然达到了三十重的层次。
因此，李云牧已经决定，除非自己拥有的影子数量，达到足够多的程度，每天挂机能获取海量内功值，否则现在用内功值去砸它，根本就不能提升几重。
一切都只能说，以李云牧现阶段时期，这门无上淬体决，实在太高等了，根本就很难升的动，至此，一百零八万内功值，李云牧还是决定，把它全部砸在金中罩这门实用的防御法门上。
此时，他的金钟罩已升至二十重，除了拥有百分之五十减伤外，还多出了一个罩中罩百分之二十减伤特性。
李云牧的防御，号绝五维界之最，这个如今天下路人皆知的称号，其中有很大部份原因，就是因为金中罩这门强悍减伤功法，为他奠基下来的。
否则的话，则是霸体小成十分强悍，但如果没有金钟罩的减伤，霸体的防御，绝对不会表现的如此霸绝天下。
打定了主意，李云牧便不再犹豫，开始用所有内功值，全砸在金钟罩上。
第二十一重，一万内功值，升级！
第二十二重，二万内功值，升级！
第三十重，十万内功值，升级！
一口气，李云牧狂砸了五十五万内功值下去，金钟罩终于突破了第三十重大关，与此同时，又新诞生了一种特性，名为——乾坤罩！
（乾坤罩：吸收敌人攻击的百分之三十能量，扭转乾坤化为自己的能量。
当李云牧看到这个最新诞生的特性能力，心中十分震撼，不得不说，这门金钟罩功法的能力，实在太逆-天了。
这个乾坤罩，简直就是吸收敌人的攻击能量啊，吸收就算了，还能转化为自己的能力，简直就是大补，对于持航战斗，绝对是恐怖的续航能力。

Chapter 228: Safeguard VS Universe Cover Translator: Mercurial Editor: DarkGem
"System, compare Xiye Hanbei and my strength. How great is the difference?"
Li Yunmu firmly decided to compete with his full strength to obtain the descendant qualifications.
But before he started his plan, he wanted to know, after the great increase in strength a few days ago, how far he was from the most powerful person of the Fifth Dimension?
There was detailed information about Xiye Hanbei's strength online, so it was extremely easy for the system to gather a large amount of data and provide a precise evaluation of Xiye Hanbei's strength.
And Li Yunmu naturally wanted to use this as a benchmark to determine the current level of his strength. Although he was quite formidable, he knew that there was always someone better.
The six continents were extremely large and contained countless Flux Disciples.
The descendant qualifications had now caused an upheaval in the world, so maybe even more powerful people who had kept themselves hidden would also appear. That's why if Li Yunmu couldn't even reach Xiye Hanbei in terms of strength, then it was meaningless for him to contend against the whole world.
According to Lin Jian, a person who belonged to Bladewood, if the people from the six transcending powers also entered the Continental Battle, then it would be really terrifying.
Before this month ended, Li Yunmu had to increase his strength to the level of Xiye Hanbei, otherwise contending for supremacy would only be a disaster for him and nothing more.
The system paused for a moment and then replied, [According to the comparison between you two based on data online, the difference between host and Xiye Hanbei's strengths is roughly three chips.]
"Three chips! This kind of difference means that I'm already quite close, but there is still some distance left to cover."
Li Yunmu sucked in a deep breath.
One grade, one line, and one chip! Difference of one grade meant that the difference between them was of one whole class, which was extremely large. Difference of one line meant that the opponent had clear superiority.
This superiority was evident, meaning it could be seen with a naked eye.
The difference of one and a half chip was comparatively close. It meant that both parties were so close that it was difficult to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. A thorough confrontation was required to see who would be the dominant one.
As for the difference of three chips, this meant that the difference between the strength of two parties was quite thin, but it couldn't be said that they were at the same level. Xiye Hanbei could still make Li Yunmu eat dirt.
However, Li Yunmu wasn't depressed. How long had he spent cultivating? The other party had already been doing so for several years, while he himself was just a newcomer of this year. Li Yunmu still had a month, so he was pretty confident that he would be able to surpass Xiye Hanbei in that time.
He quickly entered his consciousness sea and opened the profile panel.
Experience points: 368,000 points.
Ability points: 1,089,300 ability points.
Space elements: 17,630 points.
Blood fiend points: 370,543 points.
The accumulation of the four major resources was pretty good, because the monsters in the Tower of Glory were extremely formidable, and when he went into the higher levels, their numbers also increased.
Thus, during the two days when he was challenging the tower, he had reaped a large harvest. The experience points he had accumulated allowed him to congeal the fifth and sixth female shadows, which were named Li Mei and Li Lan.
By now, the requirement for congealing the next shadow had reached one million experience points. The currently accumulated points were less than half of that.
But Li Yunmu was convinced that if he continued with hacking in the King's True Territory, it was like that he'll be able to congeal the eighth shadow before the Continental Battle.
However, his main priority now was to use the large amount of ability points and increase his strength by another notch. With 1.08 million ability points, he could upgrade any of his cultivation methods enormously.
According to the grade of his cultivation methods, the first to advance should be the Great Sun Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets. However, after experiencing the qualitative change because of divine blood, it had already reached the thirtieth level.
If he wanted to advance it to the thirty-first level, he would have to use 310,000 ability points. After he noticed that, Li Yunmu abandoned all thoughts of upgrading this skill for the time being.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that after smashing one million ability points into it, the increase wouldn't be obvious.
On top of that, if he wanted to increase it to the thirty-first level, he would also need to spend ten thousand space elements to purchase the next ten levels.
This was clearly not the most optimal move!
The system had clearly explained it to him long ago that if he cultivated the technique in reality, then he wouldn't need to purchase the latter parts of the Great Sun Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets. After all, the cultivation in reality was based on the principle that where water flows a canal is formed, so he didn't need to spend the space elements to purchase the latter parts.
This was the reason why even if he had only purchased the first ten levels of Great Sun Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets, after undergoing the qualitative change caused by divine blood, the cultivation of the technique had advanced straight to the thirtieth level.
Thus, Li Yunmu decided that unless the number of shadows he had reached a number allowing him to obtain a large amount of ability points with ease, he wouldn't upgrade it with the system.
He could only accept the fact that given his current level of strength, his supreme body refining technique was too high grade for him. It was very difficult to advance it, and so Li Yunmu decided to spend the 1.08 million ability points on Admiralty Cover.
At this time, his Admiralty Cover was at the twentieth level. Apart from it reducing the damage by 50%, there was still Safeguard which blocked 20% of the incoming damage.
Li Yunmu's defense was certainly at the peak of the Fifth Dimension, everyone in the whole world understood this. Among his absolute defense, Admiralty Cover, this formidable damage reducing cultivation method, was the cornerstone.
Otherwise, even though Tyrant Body had reached a minor threshold and was very formidable, without the damage reduction from Admiralty Cover, its defense wouldn't be so domineering.
After making the decision, Li Yunmu didn't hesitate anymore and threw all the points on Admiralty Cover.
Twenty-first level- 10,000 ability points, upgrade!
Twenty-second level- 20,000 ability points, upgrade!
Twenty-third level- 30,000 ability points, upgrade!
Thirtieth level- 100,000 ability points, upgrade! In one breath, Li Yunmu used up 550,000 ability points, and Admiralty Cover broke through the third major threshold. At this moment, another new property was born. It was named Universe Cover!
[Universe Cover: Absorbs 30% of the enemy's attack and reverses the natural laws of the Universe to turn it into one's own.]
When Li Yunmu looked at the explanation of this new property, his heart picked up speed. He had to say that this Admiralty Cover's power was just too heaven defying.
Universe Cover could absorb the offensive power of the enemy's attack, and not only did it absorb it, it even turned it into his power. This would be a huge supplement when in a battle and make this an extremely terrifying ability which would greatly increase his endurance.

"value": "Chapter 191 – Flaming Yang Wings\nIn general, if Old Demon dared swear upon his soul he would have at least a ninety percent certainty.\nListening to him, Yang Kai’s face couldn’t help becoming serious.\nIf this was really the so-called Heavenly Law Energy, it certainly would contain some harvest. Reviewing what had just happened; Yang Kai focused his attention on both his shoulder blades.\nWhen he had successfully refined that trace of strange energy, his shoulder blades had both felt a surge of heat, in addition to that, nothing else had happened.\nFocusing there, Yang Kai could clearly feel his Yuan Qi flow towards his shoulder blades, giving rise to a strange feeling like it was bound.\nWhen this feeling came, he involuntarily increased his output of Yuan Qi.\nSuddenly, the bondage was broken.\n*Whoosh* Suddenly, there was a burst of light and sound, filling the cave with a brilliant radiance, shocking Yang Kai.\n“My heavens …” Old Demon gasped, if he had a physical form, it would now be staggering. This old devil lord had lived for an incredible number of years, and although he had been sealed, only recently regaining his freedom, his knowledge was vast, almost nothing in the world could make him gaffe.\n“This is…” Yang Kai was also shocked. He had never expected such a fantastical thing to occur.\nOn his back, two wings composed completely from his own True Yang Yuan Qi had sprouted. These wings were not large, only about 2 meters long, their shape and form made from True Yang Yuan Qi appeared quite unstable, seemingly fluctuating with the changes in Yang Kai’s thoughts and mood.\nLooking behind him, Yang Kai’s eyes were trembling.\nThis pair of flaming wings which had sprouted from his shoulder blades revealed a kind of brilliant beauty, especially because their colour was related to his True Yang Yuan Qi, the colour of burning flames, displaying a wild uninhibited feeling.\nYang Kai and Old Demon did not speak, as if they had forgotten how to form words; all their attention was concentrated on this pair of wings.\nAfter a long time, Yang Kai suddenly recovered, quickly asking, “Old Demon, what are these?”\nAfter a loud sound of saliva being swallowed, Old Demon replied, “Heaven Soaring Force!”\n“An artifact?”\n“Wrong. This treasure cannot be compared to a mere artifact, this is an ability Heaven has bestowed up you young master. Old Servant does not know just how profound this ability is; only with time and study will young master be able to unlock all of its mysteries.”\nYang Kai nodded slightly, his emotions stirring slightly, he proceeded to push the pair of Flaming Yang Wings into a flapping motion, causing a strong wind to blow within the cave, actually lifting him off the ground.\nBut he had not flown too high when he suddenly hit the ceiling. The two Flaming Yang Wings also suddenly disappeared, causing Yang Kai to face plant into the ground and fall into confusion.\nAfter spending a long time contemplating and testing, Yang Kai was now certain that he had really gained the Heaven Soaring Force from the Heaven Devouring Insect and that this pair of Flaming Yang Wings was indeed like an extension of his body.\nAfter confirming all this, Yang Kai couldn’t help celebrating inside!\nStranded here with the Red Cloud Sect cultivators, these days, although Yang Kai did not confide in Old Demon, he was still constantly worried; after all, he did not know how to return home.\nOriginally he thought to cultivate until he reached the True Element Boundary, allowing him to fly, or capture a flying Monster Beast somewhere on Hidden Island, forcing it to carry him on its back, but no matter which plan there were serious problems.\nFrom Hidden Island to Sea City was thousands of miles away; even an Immortal Ascension cultivator would not necessarily be able to fly that far. On the other hand, without at least reaching the True Element Boundary, how would he catch a flying Monster Beast?\nBut now, by using his True Yang Yuan Qi to form his Flaming Yang Wings, all of Yang Kai’s problems were instantly solved.\nThese Flaming Yang Wings, according to Old Demon’s information, were derived from the Heaven Devouring Insect’s residual Heavenly Law Energy, and were not an artifact, nor a martial skill, but rather a kind of innate ability.\nThe only problem was that displaying this ability required one to constantly consume Yuan Qi, and the consumption was extreme.\nInside a cave was obviously not suitable for testing the Flaming Yang Wings, so Yang Kai calmed the excitement in his heart, suddenly thinking of a question, “Old Demon, those insects outside …”\n“Young Master wants even more? This Heaven Devouring Insect is very rare, though it has produced many descendants, but the insects outside cannot be considered Heaven Devouring Insects, just regular Monster Beasts.” Old Demon obviously knew what Yang Kai was thinking.\n“Tch!” Yang Kai sighed, but also considered, by eradicating those insects outside, if each one had even a little Heavenly Law Energy, would it be worth it?\nLifting his mood, Yang Kai said, “However, after refining the Heaven Devouring Insect, I feel like I can control those insects!”\n“Is that possible?” Old Demon asked surprised.\n“It’s worth a try.” Yang Kai focused his mind and not long after, outside the cave a large number of insects had gathered, some big some, some small, but all of them stopped just outside the chamber, as if this cave was some kind of forbidden area.\n“Oh, it works!” Yang Kai laughed.\nThe small insects, although lacking in combat strength, were massive in number, and to Yang Kai’s delight, the giant insects were all third or fourth order Monster Beasts, two were even fifth order.\nFifth order Monster Beasts were equivalent to True Element Boundary masters.\nWith their help, hunting for treasure on this island would be much easier.\nThis trip deep into the tiger’s den really was the right decision.\nFeeling happy, Yang Kai left the king’s cave and those large and small insects quickly parted, opening up a path. When Old Demon saw this scene, he could not help but be amazed.\nNow, Yang Kai intended to leave the insect cave, taking this group of insects to explore Hidden Island, but he suddenly remembered there was another person here.\nYu Ao Qing! He did not know the status of the Red Cloud Sect’s peerless female disciple.\nIf she was dead, then that was that, their prior resentments could be considered settled anyways. If she was alive, Yang Kai wanted to bring her out.\nHe was not really concerned with her well-being, but there were certainly more Red Cloud Sect masters on this island; if he were to carelessly encounter them, having Yu Ao Qing nearby could be considered having a life-saving chip.\nHaving thought of it, Yang Kai walked towards the place where Yu Ao Qing was.\nAfter a long walk, he finally came to the cave he had been held in previously, but when Yang Kai probed inside, his look immediately changed.\nInside this cave there were actually others with Yu Ao Qing.\nIn addition to her, there were three more people!\nTwo of them were the Red Cloud Sect younger generation disciples, and the other was an Elder, Yang Kai remembered his name from the ship.\nMeng Xing Yuan, although he couldn’t be compared with Yu Xiu Ping, was also a master at the True Element – Seventh Stage.\nHow could they be here? Yang Kai looked surprised.\nMeng Xing Yuan and others being here, it could be considered Yu Ao Qing’s good fortune. After the ship had sunk, the Red Cloud Sect’s people had been scattered, Meng Xing Yuan so far had found several disciples, and like Yu Ao Qing’s group, had been exploring the island while looking for more Sect members.\nAfter many days, and after encountering many dangers, the disciples had suffered heavy casualties, and until now, only two remained.\nWhen they arrived here today, they discovered that the outer layer of fog was unusual. Meng Xing Yuan flew inside with the two disciples and began searching. After some investigation, they found the body of Qi Yuan, and then came across the insect cave.\nAt the mouth of the cave, there was a piece of Yu Ao Qing’s broken dress fabric, letting Meng Xing Yuan know the situation was not good. Leading the two disciples, they secretly snuck in, thinking it would be extremely dangerous, but to their surprise, along the way they did not suffer any attacks, and easily found Yu Ao Qing.\nHow could they have known that the insects had just been summoned by Yang Kai; naturally nothing was in their way.\nWhen Yang Kai came back, Meng Xing Yuan and the Red Cloud disciples had just arrived, where they were listening to a dispirited Yu Ao Qing describe the terrifying experience she had endured, as well as how Zhang Yu and Luo Qian Qian had met their end.\nWhen Yang Kai appeared at that time, both sides were stunned momentarily.\nMeng Xing Yuan never recalled the Red Cloud Sect having such a disciple, and Yu Ao Qing apparently did not expect to see Yang Kai alive again.\nBut soon, Yu Ao Qing’s eyes were flooded with hatred and anger, clenching her teeth, “Uncle Meng, this person is not my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple, but a bastard who snuck on board out ship! Junior Brother Qi Yuan was also killed by him! Uncle Meng I beg you to seek justice for Junior Brother Qi Yuan!”\nShe did not mention how Yang Kai had assaulted her; afraid it would damage her image.\nBefore she did not dare to plot against Yang Kai; first off, trapped here, just Yang Kai and her, they could be considered comrades in suffering, and second, physically and mentally exhausted, she was not Yang Kai’s opponent.\nBut things were different now; Meng Xing Yuan and the others had found her, she could safely leave. As for Yang Kai, who had stripped her clothes and desecrated her body, how would Yu Ao Qing be willing to let it go?\nShe could not wait to personally rip Yang Kai’s corpse into ten thousand pieces, to resolve the fury in her heart!\nAs long as he died, no one would know what happened that day, in the future she would still be Red Cloud Sect’s heaven-sent woman!\nAfter saying this, Yu Ao Qing turned her head slightly and sneered proudly at Yang Kai.\nMeng Xing Yuan’s face went cold, shouting, “Little brat, your courage is not small! You dare kill my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple! Kill him for me!”\nHe quickly ordered the two Red Cloud disciples.\nAs soon as his voice faded, the two disciples did not hesitate to condemn Yang Kai to death!\nYang Kai stared at Yu Ao Qing, a chill emitting from his eyes, his image instantly flashed, appearing several tens of feet away, and when the two Red Cloud disciples pursued, Yang Kai flashed several times in succession, quickly disappearing.\n“He’s fast!” Meng Xing Yuan could not help but admire, that movement skill was very profound, it was certainly a High Grade Martial Skill.\n“Qing’er are you ready to leave?” Meng Xing Yuan turned and asked.\n“En.” Yu Ao Qing nodded.\n“Good, Uncle will take you out then. I’d like to see how that little brat plans to leave that circle of fog!” Meng Xing Yuan snorted, no longer caring about Yang Kai. As long as the periphery was surrounded by that circle of fog, any cultivator below True Element Boundary could never leave, unless they possessed a flying artifact.\n“Uncle you have to kill him, he even wanted to take advantage of Junior Sister Luo Qian Qian before. If I had not forcefully blocked him, he might have succeeded.” Yu Ao Qing’s beautiful face was cold, showing no guilt dumping fake sins on Yang Kai’s head.\nHearing this, Meng Xing Yuan anger flared, “He dares to have ideas about my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple, he truly does not fear heaven’s wrath! Qing’er rest assured when Uncle catches him, I’ll skin him alive!”\nYu Ao Qing quietly revealed cold smile."

第一百九十一章
一般来说，地魔敢以神魂担保的事情都有九成九的把握。
听他这么一说，杨开不禁脸色凝重起来。
如果那真的是所谓的天道能量，自己肯定不会毫无收获。 回想刚才发生的一切，杨开将注意力集中到了后背两侧的肩胛骨处。
在那一丝诡异能量被炼化掉的时候，肩胛骨这里感觉到了一丝滚烫，除此之外，再无任何异常。
当注意力集中到这里的时候，杨开分明感觉到自己一身的元气都往两侧肩胛骨处涌来，心里莫名其妙地生出一种被束缚的感觉。
这种感觉传来，让他不由自主地加大了元气的输出。
蓦然间，束缚被挣脱。
哗……地一声轻响，整个地洞刹那间华光大放，杨开被吓了一跳。
“我的天……”地魔的呻吟传出，如果他有实体的话，现在保不准是个瞠目结舌的状态。 这老魔头活了不知多少年，虽然一直被封印着，最近才出世，可见识渊博，世间之事鲜有什么能让他失态的。
“这……”杨开也怔住了，万万没想到会发生如此离奇的事情。
自己的后背处，竟生出了两只纯粹由真阳元气构成的翅膀，翅膀不大，大概只有半丈长短，组构其形成的真阳元气看起来颇有些不稳定，随着杨开心情的起伏正在摇曳抖动着。
侧眸打量过去，杨开的眼珠子有些颤抖。
这一对生在自己肩胛骨处的翅膀造型大气张扬中透着一股优美，尤其是真阳元气的颜色，似熊熊燃烧的火焰，给人一种狂放不羁的感觉。
杨开和地魔谁都没有说话，仿佛已经失去了语言的能力，所有的心神都集中在这一对翅膀上。
过了许久，杨开才突然回过神来，皱眉道：“地魔，这个算是什么？”
地魔吞咽口水的声音传出：“飞天之力！”
“秘宝？”
“不。 这比秘宝贵重多了，这是天道能量赋予少主你的能力，其中玄机老奴也不甚了解，唯有少主日后自行揣摩。”
杨开微微点头。 心念一动，背后的两只阳炎之翼呼扇起来，在地洞中卷起一阵轻风，竟带着他飞了起来。 但还没飞多高，便撞到了洞壁。
背后的阳炎之翼也蓦然消失，杨开一头朝地上栽下，跌了个七荤八素。
细细地揣摩试验许久，杨开才确定自己真的从噬天虫那获得了飞天之力，那一对阳炎之翼，也确实是自己体内的真阳元气凝成的。
确认了这一点之后，杨开忍不住心头一松！
随着云霞宗那些人落难隐岛，这几日杨开虽然没跟地魔说过什么，但自己其实也是有些担心的，他不知该如何才能回去。
本来是想修炼至真元境。 有了飞天之能再做打算，或者是在这隐岛上抓一只飞行妖兽，载着自己回去，但无论哪一种方法都有些不靠谱。
隐岛距离海城毕竟有万里之遥，便是神游境也不一定飞得过去，更何况真元境和那些自己能抓到的妖兽？
现在好了，自己竟能用真阳元气在背后凝出一双阳炎之翼，困扰杨开的问题迎刃而解。
这一双阳炎之翼，按地魔的说法是来自于那只噬天虫体内残余的天道能量，不是秘宝。 也不是武技，而是衍化成了一项特殊的本事。
不过想要施展这个本事，同样得消耗元气，而且消耗的还不少。
地洞中并不适合试验阳炎之翼。
“少主你想多了，噬天虫及其稀少，虽然它繁衍出不少子孙后代，但外面的虫子已经不能算噬天虫了。 只是一种妖兽罢了。”
“哎！” 杨开一声叹息，不过想想也对，那些虫子杀都杀不完，若每一只体内都有天道能量，那还了得？
神色又是一振，杨开道：“不过炼化了噬天虫之后，我发现自己好像能控制那些异虫！”
地魔惊奇。
“试试就知道了。” 杨开心念一转，外面不大一会便涌过来一大片异虫，有大有小，但都止步在这个地洞之外，仿佛这个地洞对它们来说是禁地。
果真如此！” 杨开大笑。
那些小虫子虽然没什么杀伤，可数量众多，让杨开欣慰的是那些大虫子，个个都是三四阶的妖兽，更有那么两只达到了五阶的程度。
五阶，可是相当于真元境的高手了。
在隐岛中行事寻宝，若是有它们相助，定会轻松不少。
这一趟深入虎穴，当真是来对了。
心情愉悦，杨开走出地洞，那些大大小小的虫子连忙退避，主动让出一条道路。 地魔见到此景，不禁啧啧称奇。
此间事了，杨开本打算直接离开这个虫穴，带着这群异虫去隐岛中横行一番，但突然又想起一个人来。
这位云霞的天之骄女此刻也不知怎样。
若她此刻已经死了，那自然尘归尘，土归土，之前有什么恩怨也可以就此放下。 若她还没死，杨开想把她带在身边。
倒不是要照顾她，而是这隐岛上肯定还有云霞宗高手存在，若自己出去之后不小心碰到了那些高手，有俞傲晴在手上，总归是个筹码。
想到这里，杨开顺着记忆中的道路朝关押俞傲晴的地方行去。
走了许久，总算是来到之前的地洞中，但杨开才探头朝内一瞅，神色立马就变了。
这地洞中，竟不止俞傲晴一个。
除她之外，还有三人！
其中两个是云霞年轻一代的弟子，另外一人却是云霞的一位长老，杨开在大船上的时候听过他的名字。
孟星远，实力虽无法与俞修平相比，可也是真元七层的高手。
他们怎么在这？ 杨开神色一愣。
孟星远等人会在此地，倒也算是俞傲晴的运气。 那一日大船破碎之后，云霞等人分散，孟星远集结了好几个弟子，也与俞傲晴等人一样，一边在隐岛中探索一边寻找门人。
接连好多日，途中遭遇许多危险，弟子们也死伤惨重，到如今只剩下两人而已。
今日行至此处，发现外围那层雾气有些古怪，孟星远便带那两个弟子飞了进来查探究竟，这一查，便看到了齐元的尸体，随后顺藤摸瓜找到了这个虫穴。
虫穴口处，有一片俞傲晴衣裙碎裂的布料，孟星远当即便知情况不妙，领着两个弟子偷偷地潜入进来，本以为会很艰辛，却没想到沿途竟没遇到任何攻击，就这么轻松地找到了俞傲晴。
他们哪里晓得，那些虫子刚才全被杨开给召唤了过去，所以才如此顺利。
杨开回来的时候，孟星远和那个云霞弟子也才刚刚抵达不久，俞傲晴失魂落魄，心惊胆战地叙述这几日自己的遭遇，以及张钰和罗芊芊她们的下场。
正说着的时候，杨开就出现了，双方都是一愣。
孟星远不记得云霞有这样一个弟子，俞傲晴显然没想到杨开还能活着回来。
但旋即，俞傲晴的眸中便涌出一丝怨毒和愤怒，咬牙道：“孟师叔，此人不是我云霞弟子，而是混在船上的贼子，齐元就是被他杀了，还请孟师叔出手，替齐元师弟报仇！”
她只字不提杨开欺辱她的事情，就是怕事情传开不好做人。
之前她不敢对杨开怎么样，一来此地就只有她与杨开两人，有些同病相怜，二来她身心疲惫，也不是杨开的对手。
但是现在不同了，孟星远等人找到了此处，自己完全可以平安离开。 对于杨开这个曾经扒光过自己衣服，亵渎过自己身子的男人，俞傲晴哪里愿意放过？
她恨不得亲手将杨开碎尸万段，以解心头之恨！
只要他死了，那一日的事情就无人知晓，自己以后也依然是云霞的天之骄女！
说出这句话之后，俞傲晴微昂着头颅，倨傲地看着杨开，眼中全是复仇的快意。
孟星远脸色一冷，喝道：“小子好胆！ 竟敢杀我云霞弟子！
他这话是对那两个云霞弟子说的。
话音刚落，那两人便毫不迟疑地朝杨开痛下杀手！
杨开深深地凝视着俞傲晴，眼中划过一丝寒意，身形一晃，便闪出十几丈开外，待那两个云霞弟子追过来的时候，杨开又闪了出去，接连几次，便不见了踪影。
“好快的速度！” 孟星远忍不住有些惊叹，那步法实在是奇妙的很，也不知是什么档次的武技。
“晴儿你还能走吧？” 孟星远问了一声。
“恩。” 俞傲晴点了点头。
我倒要看看那小子如何离开那一圈雾气！” 孟星远冷哼一声，倒也不急，只要外围那一圈雾气还在，真元境以下的武者就别想离开，除非有飞行秘宝。
“师叔你可一定要杀了他，他之前甚至还想欺辱罗芊芊师妹，若非我一力阻拦，他怕是已经得逞了。” 俞傲晴美眸寒霜，毫无愧疚之意地往杨开头上扣屎盆子。
孟星远果然怒气腾腾：“敢打我云霞弟子的主意，真是胆大包天！ 晴儿放心，叫师叔抓着他，非抽筋扒皮不可！”
俞傲晴露出一丝森冷的笑容。

Chapter 191 – Flaming Yang Wings
In general, if Old Demon dared swear upon his soul he would have at least a ninety percent certainty.
Listening to him, Yang Kai’s face couldn’t help becoming serious.
If this was really the so-called Heavenly Law Energy, it certainly would contain some harvest. Reviewing what had just happened; Yang Kai focused his attention on both his shoulder blades.
When he had successfully refined that trace of strange energy, his shoulder blades had both felt a surge of heat, in addition to that, nothing else had happened.
Focusing there, Yang Kai could clearly feel his Yuan Qi flow towards his shoulder blades, giving rise to a strange feeling like it was bound.
When this feeling came, he involuntarily increased his output of Yuan Qi.
Suddenly, the bondage was broken.
*Whoosh* Suddenly, there was a burst of light and sound, filling the cave with a brilliant radiance, shocking Yang Kai.
“My heavens …” Old Demon gasped, if he had a physical form, it would now be staggering. This old devil lord had lived for an incredible number of years, and although he had been sealed, only recently regaining his freedom, his knowledge was vast, almost nothing in the world could make him gaffe.
“This is…” Yang Kai was also shocked. He had never expected such a fantastical thing to occur.
On his back, two wings composed completely from his own True Yang Yuan Qi had sprouted. These wings were not large, only about 2 meters long, their shape and form made from True Yang Yuan Qi appeared quite unstable, seemingly fluctuating with the changes in Yang Kai’s thoughts and mood.
Looking behind him, Yang Kai’s eyes were trembling.
This pair of flaming wings which had sprouted from his shoulder blades revealed a kind of brilliant beauty, especially because their colour was related to his True Yang Yuan Qi, the colour of burning flames, displaying a wild uninhibited feeling.
Yang Kai and Old Demon did not speak, as if they had forgotten how to form words; all their attention was concentrated on this pair of wings.
After a long time, Yang Kai suddenly recovered, quickly asking, “Old Demon, what are these?”
After a loud sound of saliva being swallowed, Old Demon replied, “Heaven Soaring Force!”
“An artifact?”
“Wrong. This treasure cannot be compared to a mere artifact, this is an ability Heaven has bestowed up you young master. Old Servant does not know just how profound this ability is; only with time and study will young master be able to unlock all of its mysteries.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, his emotions stirring slightly, he proceeded to push the pair of Flaming Yang Wings into a flapping motion, causing a strong wind to blow within the cave, actually lifting him off the ground.
But he had not flown too high when he suddenly hit the ceiling. The two Flaming Yang Wings also suddenly disappeared, causing Yang Kai to face plant into the ground and fall into confusion.
After spending a long time contemplating and testing, Yang Kai was now certain that he had really gained the Heaven Soaring Force from the Heaven Devouring Insect and that this pair of Flaming Yang Wings was indeed like an extension of his body.
After confirming all this, Yang Kai couldn’t help celebrating inside!
Stranded here with the Red Cloud Sect cultivators, these days, although Yang Kai did not confide in Old Demon, he was still constantly worried; after all, he did not know how to return home.
Originally he thought to cultivate until he reached the True Element Boundary, allowing him to fly, or capture a flying Monster Beast somewhere on Hidden Island, forcing it to carry him on its back, but no matter which plan there were serious problems.
From Hidden Island to Sea City was thousands of miles away; even an Immortal Ascension cultivator would not necessarily be able to fly that far. On the other hand, without at least reaching the True Element Boundary, how would he catch a flying Monster Beast?
But now, by using his True Yang Yuan Qi to form his Flaming Yang Wings, all of Yang Kai’s problems were instantly solved.
These Flaming Yang Wings, according to Old Demon’s information, were derived from the Heaven Devouring Insect’s residual Heavenly Law Energy, and were not an artifact, nor a martial skill, but rather a kind of innate ability.
The only problem was that displaying this ability required one to constantly consume Yuan Qi, and the consumption was extreme.
Inside a cave was obviously not suitable for testing the Flaming Yang Wings, so Yang Kai calmed the excitement in his heart, suddenly thinking of a question, “Old Demon, those insects outside …”
“Young Master wants even more? This Heaven Devouring Insect is very rare, though it has produced many descendants, but the insects outside cannot be considered Heaven Devouring Insects, just regular Monster Beasts.” Old Demon obviously knew what Yang Kai was thinking.
“Tch!” Yang Kai sighed, but also considered, by eradicating those insects outside, if each one had even a little Heavenly Law Energy, would it be worth it?
Lifting his mood, Yang Kai said, “However, after refining the Heaven Devouring Insect, I feel like I can control those insects!”
“Is that possible?” Old Demon asked surprised.
“It’s worth a try.” Yang Kai focused his mind and not long after, outside the cave a large number of insects had gathered, some big some, some small, but all of them stopped just outside the chamber, as if this cave was some kind of forbidden area.
“Oh, it works!” Yang Kai laughed.
The small insects, although lacking in combat strength, were massive in number, and to Yang Kai’s delight, the giant insects were all third or fourth order Monster Beasts, two were even fifth order.
Fifth order Monster Beasts were equivalent to True Element Boundary masters.
With their help, hunting for treasure on this island would be much easier.
This trip deep into the tiger’s den really was the right decision.
Feeling happy, Yang Kai left the king’s cave and those large and small insects quickly parted, opening up a path. When Old Demon saw this scene, he could not help but be amazed.
Now, Yang Kai intended to leave the insect cave, taking this group of insects to explore Hidden Island, but he suddenly remembered there was another person here.
Yu Ao Qing! He did not know the status of the Red Cloud Sect’s peerless female disciple.
If she was dead, then that was that, their prior resentments could be considered settled anyways. If she was alive, Yang Kai wanted to bring her out.
He was not really concerned with her well-being, but there were certainly more Red Cloud Sect masters on this island; if he were to carelessly encounter them, having Yu Ao Qing nearby could be considered having a life-saving chip.
Having thought of it, Yang Kai walked towards the place where Yu Ao Qing was.
After a long walk, he finally came to the cave he had been held in previously, but when Yang Kai probed inside, his look immediately changed.
Inside this cave there were actually others with Yu Ao Qing.
In addition to her, there were three more people!
Two of them were the Red Cloud Sect younger generation disciples, and the other was an Elder, Yang Kai remembered his name from the ship.
Meng Xing Yuan, although he couldn’t be compared with Yu Xiu Ping, was also a master at the True Element – Seventh Stage.
How could they be here? Yang Kai looked surprised.
Meng Xing Yuan and others being here, it could be considered Yu Ao Qing’s good fortune. After the ship had sunk, the Red Cloud Sect’s people had been scattered, Meng Xing Yuan so far had found several disciples, and like Yu Ao Qing’s group, had been exploring the island while looking for more Sect members.
After many days, and after encountering many dangers, the disciples had suffered heavy casualties, and until now, only two remained.
When they arrived here today, they discovered that the outer layer of fog was unusual. Meng Xing Yuan flew inside with the two disciples and began searching. After some investigation, they found the body of Qi Yuan, and then came across the insect cave.
At the mouth of the cave, there was a piece of Yu Ao Qing’s broken dress fabric, letting Meng Xing Yuan know the situation was not good. Leading the two disciples, they secretly snuck in, thinking it would be extremely dangerous, but to their surprise, along the way they did not suffer any attacks, and easily found Yu Ao Qing.
How could they have known that the insects had just been summoned by Yang Kai; naturally nothing was in their way.
When Yang Kai came back, Meng Xing Yuan and the Red Cloud disciples had just arrived, where they were listening to a dispirited Yu Ao Qing describe the terrifying experience she had endured, as well as how Zhang Yu and Luo Qian Qian had met their end.
When Yang Kai appeared at that time, both sides were stunned momentarily.
Meng Xing Yuan never recalled the Red Cloud Sect having such a disciple, and Yu Ao Qing apparently did not expect to see Yang Kai alive again.
But soon, Yu Ao Qing’s eyes were flooded with hatred and anger, clenching her teeth, “Uncle Meng, this person is not my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple, but a bastard who snuck on board out ship! Junior Brother Qi Yuan was also killed by him! Uncle Meng I beg you to seek justice for Junior Brother Qi Yuan!”
She did not mention how Yang Kai had assaulted her; afraid it would damage her image.
Before she did not dare to plot against Yang Kai; first off, trapped here, just Yang Kai and her, they could be considered comrades in suffering, and second, physically and mentally exhausted, she was not Yang Kai’s opponent.
But things were different now; Meng Xing Yuan and the others had found her, she could safely leave. As for Yang Kai, who had stripped her clothes and desecrated her body, how would Yu Ao Qing be willing to let it go?
She could not wait to personally rip Yang Kai’s corpse into ten thousand pieces, to resolve the fury in her heart!
As long as he died, no one would know what happened that day, in the future she would still be Red Cloud Sect’s heaven-sent woman!
After saying this, Yu Ao Qing turned her head slightly and sneered proudly at Yang Kai.
Meng Xing Yuan’s face went cold, shouting, “Little brat, your courage is not small! You dare kill my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple! Kill him for me!”
He quickly ordered the two Red Cloud disciples.
As soon as his voice faded, the two disciples did not hesitate to condemn Yang Kai to death!
Yang Kai stared at Yu Ao Qing, a chill emitting from his eyes, his image instantly flashed, appearing several tens of feet away, and when the two Red Cloud disciples pursued, Yang Kai flashed several times in succession, quickly disappearing.
“He’s fast!” Meng Xing Yuan could not help but admire, that movement skill was very profound, it was certainly a High Grade Martial Skill.
“Qing’er are you ready to leave?” Meng Xing Yuan turned and asked.
“En.” Yu Ao Qing nodded.
“Good, Uncle will take you out then. I’d like to see how that little brat plans to leave that circle of fog!” Meng Xing Yuan snorted, no longer caring about Yang Kai. As long as the periphery was surrounded by that circle of fog, any cultivator below True Element Boundary could never leave, unless they possessed a flying artifact.
“Uncle you have to kill him, he even wanted to take advantage of Junior Sister Luo Qian Qian before. If I had not forcefully blocked him, he might have succeeded.” Yu Ao Qing’s beautiful face was cold, showing no guilt dumping fake sins on Yang Kai’s head.
Hearing this, Meng Xing Yuan anger flared, “He dares to have ideas about my Red Cloud Sect’s disciple, he truly does not fear heaven’s wrath! Qing’er rest assured when Uncle catches him, I’ll skin him alive!”
Yu Ao Qing quietly revealed cold smile.

第7章
赵玉真是穷得不要不要的，连手机都没钱开流量。 查询个租房信息，还得到电脑上去查。
最后，在一大堆租房信息中，他随便选了几个距离警局较近的地址，也不管到没到下班的点儿，直接披上外套走人。
关于张景峰哥俩去查的那件案子，他倒是并没有多大期待。 要是只凭他三言两语就能把一个困扰了警方十年的悬案了解，那才是荒天下之大谬！
被执行了药物注射死刑，不但没死还穿越，还得到了神奇的奇遇系统，赵玉感觉心情大好，走在街上，仿佛阳光都是那样温和，走路也飘飘然的。
他开始觉得，当个重案组的警探，或许也没有什么坏处。 抓抓坏人，领领奖金，还有许多特权，这感觉也相当不赖滴！
要不然，还是先慢慢干着再说吧，先别想什么重操旧业的事了。
赵玉寻找的第一家出租屋，位于警局大楼不远的一条商业街，这里有个叫做大风哥水果行的店铺登出了租房信息。
店主人姜大风是个大白胖子，见人总是笑嘻嘻的。 看到赵玉前来寻租，忙热情地接待了他。
原来，他的这家水果行乃是独栋的三层小楼，一楼是卖水果的门市，二楼本家居住，三楼则有个60来平米的空间，想要出租出去。
赵玉看过之后，非常中意这个地方，一来距离单位较近；二来街上没有烧烤之类的摊铺，晚上可以睡个好觉；三来家居俱全，直接可以拎包入住。
胖胖的大风哥还对赵玉色眯眯地说，隔壁的店铺跟他家一模一样，楼上住着几个大学生，个个都跟模特似的，你租我这房，说不定还能顺便把个人问题解决了呢！
透过阳台上的栅栏，赵玉果然看到了许多女人衣物，正挂在晾衣架上晾晒。
呦西！ 好地方！
赵玉的眼睛也眯缝起来，心里说话，哥需要的，就是这里！ 然而，赵玉一问价钱，却登时懵圈。
赵玉问。
大风哥倒也爽快，直接点头：“那就1980吧，如果困难，可以先交一个季度！”
抢钱啊？ 告诉你，老子是警察，信不信抓你？” 大风哥懂法律：“我租个房子又不犯法，怕你抓？
你不租算了，有的是人等着租呢！” “奶奶个熊！
爷爷还不租了呢！” 赵玉谩骂着离开了水果店，心里说话，要是放在以前，早找一帮小弟砸你们家摊子了！ 信不信让你倒贴钱给老子，老子才来住？
哼！
赵玉愤愤地离开水果店，好好的心情被那死胖子给搞砸了，气得他在街角的馄饨铺一连吃了三碗馄饨才算气消。
这家不行，只能换第二家。 第二家是公寓式的出租房，要去到那里，需要穿过LC区的小胡同。
这里的地形地貌，和赵玉以前的世界完全一样，他以前经常在这里打架串巷的，对此地非常熟悉，便直接找了一条捷径。
此刻正值中午，居民们都在家里吃饭做饭，胡同中基本不见人影。
可是，就在赵玉穿梭其中的时候，却忽然看到某胡同口闪过一个鬼鬼祟祟的人。 赵玉也不知怎么的，竟是本能地闪身躲避了一下，并没有被那人看到。
那个人戴着一个深绿色的帽子，个头不高，身材单薄，像是个正在上学的学生。 可是，看他神色慌张的样子，似乎有什么不为人知的勾当。
有意思！ 赵玉以前经常跟这些不良少年打交道，好奇之下，便悄悄跟了上去。 虽然那个小伙子警觉性挺强的，一面走一面四处查看。
终于，当赵玉跟着他来到一处阴暗角落的时候，那里有一个染着黄色头发，胳膊上刻着刺青的男子正等在那里。
二人见面之后也不说话，小伙子直接递给那人一个黑色的类似优盘的东西，而黄毛则掏出一个信封，递给了他。
于是，他故意猫在暗处没有露面，直到那个黄毛带着优盘消失之后，他才一个箭步冲过去，把戴绿帽子的小伙子直接按到了墙上。
“不许动！ 警察！” 这句话，赵玉喊得扬眉吐气，哼！
竟然是个留着短头发的小女生！ 看她那稚嫩的模样，顶多是个初中生而已。
赵玉非常意外，却还是黑着脸喝道：“知道为什么抓你吗？”
老实交代，要不然，我……”赵玉支吾了一下，才道，“我就叫家长了！”
别！” 小女孩急急地说，“千万别叫家长，我爸知道，非打死我不可！”
赵玉见小女孩没什么杀伤力，便松开了手，然后一把抢过她的信封。 结果，打开一看，里面赫然出现了一沓人民币。
阿兮吧！ 赵玉知道信封里可能是钱，却没想到有这么多，忙问：“快说，这钱……怎么来的？”
她抓着赵玉的胳膊苦苦央求，“警察叔叔，我真的是第一次啊，您就行行好，放过我吧……呜呜呜……我知道错了，我再也不敢了！”
“喂喂……你鼻涕都蹭我身上了！” 赵玉赶紧将其推开，“你先别哭了，你先告诉我，刚才你递给那个人的，到底是个什么东西？”

Chapter 7

The kid was wearing a dark green hat. He was of average height and skinny, almost like a student. Yet he looked very nervous, as if he were doing something questionable.
‘Interesting!’ Zhao Yu used to deal with these delinquents often, and followed the kid out of curiosity. Despite the kid being on high alert, constantly checking left and right, Zhao Yu was experienced in stealth and avoided all detection.

第2349章
“每个人都有他自己的事情，或许上天也是公平的，这边给你多了，那边就会少点。” 纳兰清随意的说道。
说着话已经走到了一个酒楼前。
水玲珑！
这是这家酒楼的名字，名字不够霸气，甚至有点秀气，但这里却是生意兴隆，酒楼前车水马龙，都是上档次的兽车，很多都是恐怖的战兽，九州世界的兽车彰显身份的作用超过了代步。
两人找了个包间，纳兰淸在皇城中还是很有名的，这个寡妇加上水国第一美人的称号，如今更是水国第一寡妇，走到哪里自然都会被人关注，连带着青水都是被人打量。
“你们看寡妇清第一次和一个男人一起，而且还是个年轻的男人。” 有人看到纳兰淸忍不住惊呼。
“还真是啊，这个男人好帅，气质很好啊！” 马上有个女人说道。
进入包间隔断了外面的声音，纳兰淸让青水点，不过青水没有点而是让纳兰淸点。
这是只有这一代才有的炎猪蹄，别的地方没有这个炎猪，而且做法也是一绝。
“怎么样，味道还行吧！”
纳兰淸看青水现在吃的样子就知道了。 “不错，真不错，虽然不如我做的东西，但已经不错了。”
含糊不清，不过纳兰淸听到了，只当青水开玩笑，脸反驳都没有，拿起酒給青水还有她自己倒上。
“尝尝这酒，比起飘香榭也不差，不过比起你酿制的飘香榭要差上不少。” 纳兰淸端起酒杯说道。
青水已经闻到了这酒的香味，端起酒杯和纳兰淸碰了一下一口喝掉了。
青水说道。
不过这一次纳兰淸没有说什么，这个男人在酿酒上绝对是最顶尖最顶尖的存在。
接下来短暂的沉默，不过青水吃了几口菜之后抬头看着纳兰淸：“我本来就打算在这水国皇城停上一些日子，增长点阅历，顺便看看妖王域顶级的势力怎么样，没想到遇到了你，怎么说我们也是朋友，我帮你好不好。”
“你帮我？ 怎么帮？”
“我怎么看都感觉你们纳兰家似乎实力上出了点意外，不过不知道哪里出了意外，要不你告诉我，我给你恢复重振纳兰家的雄风。”
“好了，别开玩笑了，今天请你喝酒，把酒喝好才是正事。” 纳兰淸说道，她只是把青水的话当成一种关心了。
“看来你不相信我啊，算了，还是喝酒吧！” 青水嘀咕了一句。
吃喝了差不多大半个时辰，一大桌子的才基本上都进了青水的肚子，酒也喝了不少，然后走出酒楼。
“你现在在北原家住吗？” 青水想了想问道。
“不在，我有自己的住处。” 纳兰淸说道。
“那我就投靠你了，我来到这里还没有地方住呢。” 青水认真的说道。
“我给你找酒楼，刚才的那个怎么样？” 纳兰淸说道。
“我想住朋友那，不想住酒楼。”
纳兰淸自然知道青水说的的朋友就是她，不过两人算朋友吗，之前也不过见过两次面，说过的话也没有几句，不解的看着青水。
青水被她看得有点不自在，便笑道：“你的住处应该很大吧，我没有别的意思，你那里应该也不是只有你一个人吧！”
“我一个人，地方也不大。”
青水被噎了一下，然后说道：“怎么说也得让我去你家看看。”
他是想帮这个女人，顺便摸摸水国的实力。
这一次纳兰淸倒是没有反对，这里距离纳兰淸的家不是很远，没有多久就到了，确实不大，这是一个小庄院，但位置很好，幽静、精致，只有一个院子，但却是该有的设施应有尽有，小池塘还有一些花草树木，两座阁楼。
“地方不错啊，这不是有两座楼阁吗，让我住一座怎么样，反正我不住也是浪费着。” 青水看看周围说道。
“你不知道寡妇门前是非多吗？” 纳兰淸看着青水说道。
“不怕，我心地坦荡，我不怕他们诋毁我。” 青水认真的说道。
纳兰淸无语的看着青水好一会才说道：“我不想被人说闲话。”
青水嘿嘿笑道：“清姐，你不管怎么做都是要被人说闲话的，你总不能就这样一直一个人生活吧。”
纳兰淸看着这个如今已经连清姐都喊出来了，没好气的看了青水一眼：“为什么不能这样一个人生活？”
“你还真打算这样一个人生活？”
青水古怪的看着她。 “你什么眼神？”
纳兰淸被青水说的也是有点惆怅。
“你现在呢还年轻，在我们哪里男女成婚有了孩子甚至老了过的不愉快了都要离婚，如果一方出了意外那更是离婚，这是很正常的事情啊。”
“一个国家、一个家族强不强盛不是一个女人能左右的，裙带关系有用，但不是决定性的。” 青水干脆的说道。
“我这不是来帮你了吗，给我说说具体情况，或者带我去见你父亲，我可以帮你。” 青水很认真的说道。
纳兰淸看着青水：“你不是在开玩笑？”
“我不会拿这样的事情开玩笑。”

His speech did not contain many heroic words, but each of his movements and words could make his disciples follow wholeheartedly. They were inspired and ready to give their lives for the Green Cloud Palace to obtain a good result. They wanted to win a smile on their master’s face.\nNaturally, it was all due to Tan Zhongchi’s attitude towards his disciples. It was equivalent to an attraction from his personality. After all, not everyone in the Stargaze Palace was fortunate to have an overprotective senior.\nAfter the gathering at the Green Cloud Palace and giving reminders to the Core disciples, Tan Zhongchi walked out of the Palace and gave some encouragement to the Advanced and the Initial Stage disciples. Then, he said: \"In our Green Cloud Palace, we do not curry favor by holding back, everyone, go with all your efforts and strengths. Regardless of the grade, everyone should go to this exam with the reputation of the Green Cloud Palace as the priority. We must not become arrogant by winning and not give up after losing. Everyone, do your best.\"\n\"Now, come with me to assemble at the main Palace. Everyone, stay in an organized line and don’t act disorderly.\" After he had finished the reminders, Tan Zhongchi led his disciples to walk towards the main palace.\nAfter people had assembled at the main Palace, the year-end exam would begin with excitement.\nThe vast area outside the Main Palace could hold at least one hundred thousand people. Currently, the five factions of each of the five Palace Masters, and the other disciples of the Shakyamuni and Elders all neatly assembled in their pre-assigned areas.\nAcross this square, the tens of thousands of disciples from the Stargaze Palace did not seem crowded.\nThe disciples of the Second Palace Master held a high and respectable position. Thus, their divided area appeared significant. Tan Zhongchi led his line of disciples and told Zhou Fu and the other Core disciples to maintain order. Then, he walked towards the Main Palace.\nThe other Palace Masters also arrived and walked inside the Main Palace.\nBefore the start of the exam, all Palace Masters, Shakyamuni and Elders still needed to have a meeting.\nWhen Tan Zhongchi walked closer to the Main Palace, the other Palace Masters carried a somewhat playful expression. However, Tan Zhongchi did not mind. He knew that more or less; these people were planning some little tricks inwardly.\nIn the past years, the line of the Head Palace Master had earned the best grades of all in the year-end exam. The disciples of the other Palace Masters were powerless to disrupt the position of the Head Palace Master.\nUsually, the disciples to Tan Zhongchi had taken second place. After all, since he was ranked as the Second Palace Master, he had his own unique teachings. It was reasonable for his disciples to have an overall better strength.\nHowever, because of this slightly leading points, the rest of the Palace Masters could not accept it. Each time at the year-end exam, these guys would have grand ambitions as they wanted to pull down the position of the Second Palace Master. They wanted to replace him and become the second most powerful faction.\nTan Zhongchi was not unfamiliar with these little schemes they had.\nHis goal was to aim for three spots in the top ten. He hoped to achieve a closer score to the disciples of the Head Palace Master and did not plan to compete with the other few Palace Masters.\nInwardly, Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace still felt some resentment over the matter with the West Chu. However, this Fifth Palace Master was a good-humored guy and was not someone that would hold a grudge. Only, he joked: \"Second, for this year-end exam, do you have some hopes for your disciples?\"\n\"Tell me your ambition first.\" Tan Zhongchi never followed this trend.\nZhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master was the biggest competitor of Tan Zhongchi and the one who desperately wanted to suppress him. After all, he had the closest ranking with Tan Zhongchi. One was the Second Palace Master, and the other one was the Third. He never stopped desiring to suppress Tan Zhongchi.\nHearing Tan Zhongchi’s words, Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master said: \"For this year-end exam, there would be no question. At least, they would have the top five of the ten spots. The rest of the four lines will compete for the other four. Each Palace would be able to have one of the top ten spot, it would depend on which Palace to get two spots.\"\nTan Zhongchi had also sensed Zhong Wuyin’s little thoughts. However, he did not take it to heart: \"Third, can you be better than this, the ranking competition has not even started and you are in a rush to distribute spots? We earn these spots through strength, and not by talking from us old guys. Who said we could only compete for five spots?\"\nOf course, Zhong Wuyin was not convinced when he heard that Tan Zhongchi speaking with a confidence tone. He said with a faint smile: \"Second, from your tone, you seem to want to challenge the lines of the Head Palace Masters?\"\nLeng Qiuchi, the Fourth Palace Master who was known for having a cold-face suddenly smiled: \"Challenge the Head Palace Master? It would be an act to not know your own strength. Our lines do not have the strength to compete with disciples to the Head Palace Masters. Give it a rest.\"\nNaturally, Tan Zhongchi heard that these two guys was not convinced by him being the Second Palace Master. However, he did not get angry and rolled his eyes. Then, he just ignored these two.\nAt this point, the Head Palace Master approached the Main Palace with large strides. He greeted with a face full of joyful smile: \"Junior Brothers, you are all here early.\"\n\"Head Palace Master.\" Those four all went forward and cupped their hands in salute.\n\"Of course, we could not compare to your faction, boss.\" Zhong Wuyin spoke first with a smile: \"This year, my goal is to get two spots in the top ten.\"\nZhuo Buqun, the Head Palace Master was the head of the Stargaze Palace. With supreme prestige, he encouraged with a smile after hearing Zhong Wuyin speaking: \"It’s still possible to compete for two spots from the top ten. Third, you always complained that you have few disciples, it seems that’s not that case. Do you have some hidden power?\"\nRevealing some pride on his face, Zhong Wuyin pretended to be humble: \"Although I don’t have many disciples, I’ve always trained them strictly. Year after year, I do have some good seeds. Whether or not this set of cards are good to use, it would depend on the result of this year end exam.\"\n\"Ha ha, it would not be bad.\" Zhuo Buqun, the Head Palace looked at others with a smile, \"What about you guys?\"\nTian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace Master said bitterly: \"I don’t have any surprises, I would only ask to maintain one spot in the top ten. I will not aim to achieve the best possible results, but rather trying to avoid mistakes. Overall, I was never be able to get the disciples with the best talent.\"\nThere was a saying how a crying child would get milk to drink. Obviously, the Fifth Palace Master knew this principle very well. In just a few words, he started to complain about hardships.\nOn the other hand, Leng Qiuchi, the Fourth Palace Master said: \"For my line, we will do our best. Head Palace Master, all the Shakyamuni and Elders have gathered. Let’s being the main topic after we signed the fairness contract.\"\nIn fact, Tan Zhongchi was not willing to talk anymore. He supported the viewpoint of the Fourth Palace Master as he nodded: \"Yes, a thousand words of nonsense are no match to an actual performance in the exam. Head Palace Master, let’s go through the procedures.\"\nZhuo Buqun nodded with a smile: \"It seems that everyone cannot wait anymore. Alright, everyone, this is the fairness contract. Let’s follow the old rules. Come up with your ranking and sign your name. If any of the lines cheat, their grades will get suspended as a group. No exceptions.\"\nEach year, they needed to sign this contract. It was to create an absolutely fair competition. To cheat would pose serious repercussions in which the groups grade would be suspended.\nThus, for such an exam, it was almost impossible to cheat.\nFirst, the Head Palace Master signed his name on it. Next, Tan Zhongchi walked up and signed. Finally, all the higher ups in the Stargaze Palace had signed the contracts.\nFinally, the Head Palace Master said: \"Everyone, the contracts have been signed and will become effective immediately. All the higher ups at the Palace Master level will come out with me to announce the exam content.\"\nAll Five Palace Masters walked out of the Main Palace together and stood on the top of the stairs. They looked down and saw every eye looking at them. Apparently, they were expecting the arrival of the exam.\nHis words had caused all disciples to the Stargaze blood to boil. Each of them rubbed their fists and prepared to fight.\nQin Wushuang pricked up his ears to listen. Of course, he did not care about the exam content for the Initial disciples since it had nothing to do with him. He was concerned about the exam content related to the Advanced disciples.\nAfter he had finished announcing the exam content for the Initial Stage disciples, the Head Palace Master stopped for a moment and spoke again in a clear voice: \"Next is the exam material for the Advanced disciples, there are six in total—Weapon, movement, power, endurance, martial arts levels and a comprehension portion. \"For the weapons section, of course, it will test your proficiency in the use of weapons, destructive power and combat attacking power.\"\n\"For movements, you are to be tested on agility, speed and reaction. At that time, there will be examiners to tell you the exact material.\"\n\"The test for power is the easiest. You will be tested on weights, individual combat ability and others.\"\n\"The endurance portion is the most challenging one. Everyone will enter into a Spiritual Qi circle for this section. Inside the circle, it would keep creating pressure. The longer you can stay in there, the better your grade.\"\n\"The test for martial arts is also straightforward. It will test your exact martial arts levels.\"\n\"The comprehensive exam portion is the most complicated. For this portion, your examiner will announce the rules.\"\nAfter having explained everything, the Head Palace Master announced: \"All Advanced disciples will gather at the square in the north. There will be a total of six hundred people. Each of you will have your own serial number. Now, go get your serial number!\"\nImmediately, all Advanced disciples rushed toward the north of the square."

第0208章
谭中驰的运员大会，和其他几大殿完全不同，没有多少豪言壮语，但他一言一行，一举一动，却偏偏能让门下弟子死心塌地，热血沸腾想古为青云殿拼命，争取一个好成绩。 博得峰尊开心一笑。
这自然和谭中驰平素对待门下的态度有关，可以说是一种人格魃力在起作用。 毕竟，并不是星罗殿所有人，都有幸运拥有这么一个护短长辈的。
青云殿这边集结完毕，谭中驰交代过核心弟子之后，又走出殿来，对外头的高级弟子和初级弟子各做了一番勉励，便道：“咱们青云殿从来都不掐虚的那一套，大家全力以赴吧。 成绩如何且不说，这考核，人人争先，以青云殿荣誉为首位，胜不骄，败不馁。
只要人人尽力便可。 “现在，随我出发，前往主殿集合。 大家各按秩序，不要乱。
主殿集合之后，年终考核就将轰轰烈烈开展。
主殿外围的巨大宽阔地，至少容纳的下十万人。 此时星罗殿五大殿主五脉，还有其他法王长老等旗下的门人，各按事先划分好的区域，有条不紊地集合起来。
星罗殿正式弟子上万名，放在这广场上，也丝毫不显得拥挤。
二殿主一脉，在星罗殿地位尊崇，因此划分的区域，也非常显眼，谭中驰将青云殿一脉带到，吩咐周芙等核心弟子维持一下秩序，他本人则是朝主殿走去。
其他各殿的殿主，也都纷纷赶到，朝主殿里头走去。
在考核开始之前，各大殿主和法王长老，还得碰碰头。
谭中驰却是满不在意。 他知道，这些人心里多多少少都打着一点小算盘。
往年，年终考核的成绩，大殿主一脉是遥遥领先的。 其他几大殿主门下根本无力动摇大殿主那一脉的地位。
第二名，往往就是谭中驰这二殿主一脉抢去。 毕竟，他既然排名二殿主，必然有他独到的一面。
可是就因为这略略领先一点，让其他几个殿主都不太服气，每到年终考核，这些家伙就会有种野心泛滥的感觉，很想将二殿主一脉拖下马来，取而代之，成就星罗殿第二号势力存在。
谭中驰心里有着一丝不屑。
他的目标，是冲击三个前十名额，争取在账面上和大殿主一脉靠近，而非和其他几个殿主在那争长短。
五殿主田知行因为西楚国的事，多少有些芥蒂。 不过五殿主运人生性诙谐，记仇心倒不算重，只是调侃道：“老二，这次年终考核，你这一脉，有什么野心没有啊？”
“先说说你有什么野心？” 谭中驰完全不吃邳一套。
三殿主钟无隐一直与谭中驰竞争最大，也是最迫切想压倒谭中驰这一脉的人物。 毕竟他和谭中驰排名最接近，一个二殿主，一个三殿主，一种迫切想超越谭中驰的心理，一直就没停歇过。
听谭中驰这么说，三殿主钟无隐却道：“这次年终考核，大殿主一脉，肯定是没有什么悬念的。 估计至少锁定五个前十名额。
每一殿，一个前十名额都能锁定，就看哪一殿能够夺得两个名额了。” 谭中驰对钟无隐那点心思，也是早有察觉，却根本没当一回事：“老三，你能不能出息点，排名赛都还没开始，你就慌着分配名额了啊？
钟无隐听谭中驰口气里显得底气十足，自然有些不服气，皮笑肉不笑道：“老二，听你那口气，似乎还想挑战一下大殿主那一脉？”
一旁的四殿主，素以冷面派著称的冷秋地忽然冷笑：“挑战大殿主？ 那是自不量力，咱们几脉，根本没有和大殿主一脉掰手腕的实力。
还是省省吧。” 谭中驰自然听得出来，这俩家伙对他这个二殿主都不怎么服气，也不着蚀，白眼一翻，索性无记这俩家伙。
便在这时，大殿主龙行虎步，大跨步走近主殿，满面春风地招呼道：“四位贤弟，来得很早啊。”
“自然无法和老大你那一脉比了。”
钟无隐先自笑眯眯开口“我今年的目标，是力争两个前十名额。”
大殿主卓不群，乃是星罗殿之主，威严甚著，听钟无隐这么说，微笑鼓励道：“两个前十名额，还是有的争的。 老三，你总抱怨你门下弟子数量少，看来并不是那么一回事嘛，隐藏了实力？”
钟无隐面有得色，却假意谦虚道：“虽然弟子不多，但小弟我对门下管教一直甚严，年复一年积累下来，倒也有几手好牌。 只是这好牌到底好不好使，还得看看这年终考核成绩如何。”
“哈哈，不会差的。” 大殿主卓不群笑着吞向其他人“你们几个呢？”
五殿主田知行苦闷道：“我没什么悬念，保一个前十名额，不求有功，但求无过。 反正我这一脉，好苗子总是不可能先轮到我的。”
有道是，会哭的孩子有奶喝。 这五殿主显然深谙此道。
三言两语，便诉起苦来。 四殿主冷秋池却道：“我这一脉，也只能说尽力而为。 大殿主，法王和长老们都到齐了。
谭中驰其实也不愿意废话，难得支持四殿主的观点，也点头道：“是啊，千万句废话，不如考核里一次实际表现。 大殿主，咱们直接走程序吧。”
卓不群微笑点头：“看样子大家都迫不及待了，也罢，诸位「这里是公平竞争协议书，咱们老规矩了。 按排位上来，一个个签上署名。
这协议书，每年考核都需要签署一次。 为了制造绝对公平的竞争环境，对作弊的打击非常严重，直接取消所有成绩。
因此，这种考核，基本上不可能存在作弊，也无从作弊。
大殿主首先在上面签下署名，然后是谭中驰上去，依次签名，所有在星罗殿有位置的高层，全部签署完毕。
大殿才开口道：“诸位，签署已毕，即时生效。 请殿主级别的高层，与我一道出去，宣布考核内容。”
五大殿主联袂走出大殿，站在高高的台阶上，朝下看去，所有的眼睛，都齐刷刷关注着上方。
显然是在期待考核的到来。
高级弟子的考核内容为……”秦无双竖起耳朵听着，初级弟子的考核内容，与他无关，他自然不会去关心。 他关心的是高级弟子的考核内容。
初级弟子的考核内容宣布完毕，大殿主顿了片刻，又朗声道：“下面是高级弟子的考核内容，总共也是六个项母一一兵器、身法、力量、耐力、武力-等级，综合能力考核勺”“兵器，考核的自然是运用兵器的熟练度，破坏力以及实战攻击力。
“身法，比的是敏捷度，速度和反应能力。
届时自然会负责测试的测试官为你们宣布具体内容。”
“而力量的考核，则是最单调，考核的是负重能力，单体攻击力量等内容。” “耐力，是最考验人的一项测试。
“武力等级，也很直观，就是测试你们的具体武力等级。”
“综合能力考核，最为复杂，这一项，自有你们的考核负责人会宣布规则。”
大殿主逐一解释了一遍，宣布道：“所有高级弟子，去往大广场北集合，总数为六百，每人都会有自己的编号。 现在，你们就去领取属于你们略编号！”
所有的高级弟子，都纷纷朝广场北面涌去。

Chapter 208 The Year-End Exam
Tan Zhongchi’s words of encouragement was completely different than the other Palace Masters. His speech did not contain many heroic words, but each of his movements and words could make his disciples follow wholeheartedly. They were inspired and ready to give their lives for the Green Cloud Palace to obtain a good result. They wanted to win a smile on their master’s face.
Naturally, it was all due to Tan Zhongchi’s attitude towards his disciples. It was equivalent to an attraction from his personality. After all, not everyone in the Stargaze Palace was fortunate to have an overprotective senior.
After the gathering at the Green Cloud Palace and giving reminders to the Core disciples, Tan Zhongchi walked out of the Palace and gave some encouragement to the Advanced and the Initial Stage disciples. Then, he said: "In our Green Cloud Palace, we do not curry favor by holding back, everyone, go with all your efforts and strengths. Regardless of the grade, everyone should go to this exam with the reputation of the Green Cloud Palace as the priority. We must not become arrogant by winning and not give up after losing. Everyone, do your best."
"Now, come with me to assemble at the main Palace. Everyone, stay in an organized line and don’t act disorderly." After he had finished the reminders, Tan Zhongchi led his disciples to walk towards the main palace.
After people had assembled at the main Palace, the year-end exam would begin with excitement.
The vast area outside the Main Palace could hold at least one hundred thousand people. Currently, the five factions of each of the five Palace Masters, and the other disciples of the Shakyamuni and Elders all neatly assembled in their pre-assigned areas.
Across this square, the tens of thousands of disciples from the Stargaze Palace did not seem crowded.
The disciples of the Second Palace Master held a high and respectable position. Thus, their divided area appeared significant. Tan Zhongchi led his line of disciples and told Zhou Fu and the other Core disciples to maintain order. Then, he walked towards the Main Palace.
The other Palace Masters also arrived and walked inside the Main Palace.
Before the start of the exam, all Palace Masters, Shakyamuni and Elders still needed to have a meeting.
When Tan Zhongchi walked closer to the Main Palace, the other Palace Masters carried a somewhat playful expression. However, Tan Zhongchi did not mind. He knew that more or less; these people were planning some little tricks inwardly.
In the past years, the line of the Head Palace Master had earned the best grades of all in the year-end exam. The disciples of the other Palace Masters were powerless to disrupt the position of the Head Palace Master.
Usually, the disciples to Tan Zhongchi had taken second place. After all, since he was ranked as the Second Palace Master, he had his own unique teachings. It was reasonable for his disciples to have an overall better strength.
However, because of this slightly leading points, the rest of the Palace Masters could not accept it. Each time at the year-end exam, these guys would have grand ambitions as they wanted to pull down the position of the Second Palace Master. They wanted to replace him and become the second most powerful faction.
Tan Zhongchi was not unfamiliar with these little schemes they had.
His goal was to aim for three spots in the top ten. He hoped to achieve a closer score to the disciples of the Head Palace Master and did not plan to compete with the other few Palace Masters.
Inwardly, Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace still felt some resentment over the matter with the West Chu. However, this Fifth Palace Master was a good-humored guy and was not someone that would hold a grudge. Only, he joked: "Second, for this year-end exam, do you have some hopes for your disciples?"
"Tell me your ambition first." Tan Zhongchi never followed this trend.
Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master was the biggest competitor of Tan Zhongchi and the one who desperately wanted to suppress him. After all, he had the closest ranking with Tan Zhongchi. One was the Second Palace Master, and the other one was the Third. He never stopped desiring to suppress Tan Zhongchi.
Hearing Tan Zhongchi’s words, Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master said: "For this year-end exam, there would be no question. At least, they would have the top five of the ten spots. The rest of the four lines will compete for the other four. Each Palace would be able to have one of the top ten spot, it would depend on which Palace to get two spots."
Tan Zhongchi had also sensed Zhong Wuyin’s little thoughts. However, he did not take it to heart: "Third, can you be better than this, the ranking competition has not even started and you are in a rush to distribute spots? We earn these spots through strength, and not by talking from us old guys. Who said we could only compete for five spots?"
Of course, Zhong Wuyin was not convinced when he heard that Tan Zhongchi speaking with a confidence tone. He said with a faint smile: "Second, from your tone, you seem to want to challenge the lines of the Head Palace Masters?"
Leng Qiuchi, the Fourth Palace Master who was known for having a cold-face suddenly smiled: "Challenge the Head Palace Master? It would be an act to not know your own strength. Our lines do not have the strength to compete with disciples to the Head Palace Masters. Give it a rest."
Naturally, Tan Zhongchi heard that these two guys was not convinced by him being the Second Palace Master. However, he did not get angry and rolled his eyes. Then, he just ignored these two.
At this point, the Head Palace Master approached the Main Palace with large strides. He greeted with a face full of joyful smile: "Junior Brothers, you are all here early."
"Head Palace Master." Those four all went forward and cupped their hands in salute.
"Of course, we could not compare to your faction, boss." Zhong Wuyin spoke first with a smile: "This year, my goal is to get two spots in the top ten."
Zhuo Buqun, the Head Palace Master was the head of the Stargaze Palace. With supreme prestige, he encouraged with a smile after hearing Zhong Wuyin speaking: "It’s still possible to compete for two spots from the top ten. Third, you always complained that you have few disciples, it seems that’s not that case. Do you have some hidden power?"
Revealing some pride on his face, Zhong Wuyin pretended to be humble: "Although I don’t have many disciples, I’ve always trained them strictly. Year after year, I do have some good seeds. Whether or not this set of cards are good to use, it would depend on the result of this year end exam."
"Ha ha, it would not be bad." Zhuo Buqun, the Head Palace looked at others with a smile, "What about you guys?"
Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace Master said bitterly: "I don’t have any surprises, I would only ask to maintain one spot in the top ten. I will not aim to achieve the best possible results, but rather trying to avoid mistakes. Overall, I was never be able to get the disciples with the best talent."
There was a saying how a crying child would get milk to drink. Obviously, the Fifth Palace Master knew this principle very well. In just a few words, he started to complain about hardships.
On the other hand, Leng Qiuchi, the Fourth Palace Master said: "For my line, we will do our best. Head Palace Master, all the Shakyamuni and Elders have gathered. Let’s being the main topic after we signed the fairness contract."
In fact, Tan Zhongchi was not willing to talk anymore. He supported the viewpoint of the Fourth Palace Master as he nodded: "Yes, a thousand words of nonsense are no match to an actual performance in the exam. Head Palace Master, let’s go through the procedures."
Zhuo Buqun nodded with a smile: "It seems that everyone cannot wait anymore. Alright, everyone, this is the fairness contract. Let’s follow the old rules. Come up with your ranking and sign your name. If any of the lines cheat, their grades will get suspended as a group. No exceptions."
Each year, they needed to sign this contract. It was to create an absolutely fair competition. To cheat would pose serious repercussions in which the groups grade would be suspended.
Thus, for such an exam, it was almost impossible to cheat.
First, the Head Palace Master signed his name on it. Next, Tan Zhongchi walked up and signed. Finally, all the higher ups in the Stargaze Palace had signed the contracts.
Finally, the Head Palace Master said: "Everyone, the contracts have been signed and will become effective immediately. All the higher ups at the Palace Master level will come out with me to announce the exam content."
All Five Palace Masters walked out of the Main Palace together and stood on the top of the stairs. They looked down and saw every eye looking at them. Apparently, they were expecting the arrival of the exam.
His words had caused all disciples to the Stargaze blood to boil. Each of them rubbed their fists and prepared to fight.
Qin Wushuang pricked up his ears to listen. Of course, he did not care about the exam content for the Initial disciples since it had nothing to do with him. He was concerned about the exam content related to the Advanced disciples.
After he had finished announcing the exam content for the Initial Stage disciples, the Head Palace Master stopped for a moment and spoke again in a clear voice: "Next is the exam material for the Advanced disciples, there are six in total—Weapon, movement, power, endurance, martial arts levels and a comprehension portion. "For the weapons section, of course, it will test your proficiency in the use of weapons, destructive power and combat attacking power."
"For movements, you are to be tested on agility, speed and reaction. At that time, there will be examiners to tell you the exact material."
"The test for power is the easiest. You will be tested on weights, individual combat ability and others."
"The endurance portion is the most challenging one. Everyone will enter into a Spiritual Qi circle for this section. Inside the circle, it would keep creating pressure. The longer you can stay in there, the better your grade."
"The test for martial arts is also straightforward. It will test your exact martial arts levels."
"The comprehensive exam portion is the most complicated. For this portion, your examiner will announce the rules."
After having explained everything, the Head Palace Master announced: "All Advanced disciples will gather at the square in the north. There will be a total of six hundred people. Each of you will have your own serial number. Now, go get your serial number!"
Immediately, all Advanced disciples rushed toward the north of the square.

A shhhh shh sound proceeded, revealing its extremely corrosive properties.\nWang Zhong followed up quickly and brought over a small vacuum flask.

Even she was surprised that Wang Zhong showed so much knowledge about the ant, more so when he moved to catch the eggs.\nIt had been done with extreme precision and speed, especially when he patted the abdomen of the Metal-eating Ant. Just piercing through the exoskeleton of the Metal-Eating Ant was difficult with an electric drill. Wanting to accurately smack the eggs out of its abdomen required more than simple strength alone.\nWang Zhong laughed as he shook his head, replying, “I’ve just seen many examples of their dissections.”\nScarlet chuckled. Being able to execute this after only watching, his skills were quite formidable. “I’ve actually been meaning to ask you about the fight with Holy Judgement in the next few days.

There’s no need for any strategy, just pure strength.”\n“That’s it?”\n“Yep, that’s it.”\n“What do you think your chances of victory are?” Even as the words left her mouth, Scarlet felt she’d asked a redundant question. How was the other party supposed to reply to such a question?\nShe never would have expected Wang Zhong to actually reply. He unexpectedly scratched his head while saying, “Hrm… I’ve never thought about this, but… I don’t think we’d lose?”\nScarlet stared at him for a long time before she couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. “Your opponent is Holy Judgement; you sure have a great deal of self-confidence. Initially, I wanted to consider loaning you two helpers from our Black Rose, but from the looks of it, it seems you don’t need it anymore.”\n“We definitely need it! We definitely need it!” Ma Dong shouted from the dissection table in front of them. He then turned his body around vigorously. “If it were possible for schoolmate Scarlet and madam Milami to willingly be our foreign aid, then we will absolutely be able to defeat Holy Judgement! There’s no need to say anything. Happy cooperation, happy cooperation…”\n“Why did you use schoolmate for Scarlet and madam for me?” Milami asked. She felt dissatisfied after hearing Ma Dong’s words. “Am I that old?”\n“What I said was madam, not old lady!” Ma Dong hurriedly explained.\n“What’s the difference!?” Ladies were especially sensitive to the word ‘old’. Furthermore, there was that nickname Milami loathed the most, ‘Old Witch’.\nWhen Milami started fuming, her chest expanded as well. This caused Ma Dong to swallow a large gulp of saliva.\nWas there a difference between being called madam and old lady? But of course!\n“That’s the difference. They’re bigger…” Ma Dong said, blood spurting out of his nose. He’d blurted out his inner feelings.\nWhat quickly followed was a half-dissected, blood-still-dripping Sahara Metal-eating Ant about to cover his head.\n“Ma Dong, go and die!”\nWang Zhong and Scarlet looked each other in the eye and didn’t bother to respond to these two fellows. Even Scarlet could see that Ma Dong was truly interested in Milami…\nThere was a specialized group battle arena within the academy which had long been packed full of people before the participants had even arrived.\nCredit had to be given to the publicity that followed Holy Judgement.\nFrom Lu Zhan Tian’s viewpoint, anyone who dared to challenge them was just bringing shame and humiliation upon themselves.\n“As you can see, the atmosphere here is explosive!

It was simply ear-shatteringly loud!\n“Please take note, please take note! The payout for the Prodigy Society is 10, the payout for Holy Judgement is 1!”\n“Fuck, 1:10 odds! Isn’t this equivalent to not betting at all? Are you joking with me!?”\n“Will Captain Reeves be joining the match!? I really want to see the image of Captain Reeves in combat!” shouted a lovestruck girl.\n“If he were to step into the match in order to deal with the Prodigy Society, then Reeves’ value would just drop. Holy Judgement most likely wouldn’t sent out its core fighting strength.”\n“Those at the front will be able to clearly see every blood-spurting moment in high definition! Your brother had come here last night in order to preserve a seat just to watch Ma Dong get his ass raped! I’m selling two seats as a bundle for three hundred Federation credits, no bargaining allowed!”\nMa Dong held some fame within the academy as he’d spent the last year courting the girls. Although his combat prowess was unknown, his image as a playboy was noted far and wide! Due to this, there were quite a few students from the other departments who wanted to beat him up.\nSince the new semester had begun, everyone needed a blood-pounding battle to stimulate their fighting spirit after all that training during the holidays. In particular, this also helped them with their own training. No one expected, however, that the Prodigy Society would dare to challenge Holy Judgement.\nAs expected, Reeves wasn’t even present with the group.

He faked a confused expression and asked, “Where’s Reeves? Too scared to come?”\nLu Zhan Tian couldn’t resist laughing out loud. He stared at the other party with contempt, as if he were watching a clown. “Just by depending on you few pieces of bricks, how is there even a need for Captain to personally join in?

第五十一章
“马东这贱人太无耻了！”
“真不要脸！”
“真想弄只活得蚂蚁踩死他！”
“靠，刚才我怎么没想到这招呢？”
“王重，我们一起吧。” 另外一边斯嘉丽微笑着说，完全没有给旁人任何的机会：“正好有些东西向你请教。” 周围一双双原本期待的眼睛全都傻了。
马东那个贱人‘泡’到米拉米也就算了，可为什么连王重这种木头脑袋都能得到女神的青睐？
这不合逻辑啊！
看着斯嘉丽和王重站到同一张解剖台前的时候，男生们就集体觉得自己都不会再爱了！ 。
要想解剖一只撒哈拉食金蚁可不是件容易的事儿，想破开这玩意那层坚硬的外壳，就算用电钻也得费很大的劲，何况还要求精准，这是解剖，不是砸棒槌。
王重和斯嘉丽齐心协力，一起动手。
电钻打动硬壳时的乒乓声，简直就像是在钻一块儿厚厚的钢铁。 ‘砰’的一声轻响。
“小心。”
王重及时用铁板遮档过去。
被钻通的硬壳下，一股细细的金色液体喷射了出来，溅到铁板上，炙得铁板都‘滋滋’作响，有极强的腐蚀性。
紧跟着，王重飞快的拿出一个真空小瓶子。 等那金色液体喷洒得差不多了，塞到缺口处，同时认准食金蚁的腹部狠狠一拍。
好几枚白色的东西从那里喷出来，跌到小瓶子中。
塞上瓶盖，抽干里面的空气，一气呵成。
“食金蚁的卵在孵化前不能接触空气。” 王重笑着说：“虽然尸体里的卵一般都不能存活，但还是可以碰碰运气。”
“你以前解剖过食金蚁？” 斯嘉丽意外的不是王重了解得多，而是刚才接卵的动作。
很快很流畅，特别是在食金蚁肚子上拍那一下，食金蚁那厚厚的硬壳连电钻都难以钻动，要想精准的把腹部的虫卵拍出来，靠的肯定不止是力量而已。
王重笑着摇摇头，“看过很多次模拟解剖了。”
斯嘉丽也笑了，只是看了看，这上手能力也真是够厉害的，“一直很想问，过几天和圣·裁决那一战，你有没有什么特别的计划和安排？”
“五打五的KOF团队赛，五场单挑，怎么计划都没用吧，还是拼实力。”
“就这样？”
“就这样啊。”
“那你觉得你们赢的机会有多少？” 话一出口，斯嘉丽就觉得自己问了个有点蠢的问题，这话让人家怎么回答？
没想到王重居然挠了挠头：“这个，真没想过……应该不会输吧？”
斯嘉丽看了他半天，忍不住扑哧一声就笑了：“对手可是圣·裁决哦，你还真是有自信呢。 之前我还在考虑，要不要从黑色玫瑰临时给你们借调两个外援，可现在看来好像用不着的样子。” “用得着！
用得着！” 马东就在他们解剖台的前面，这时候一激动就转身过来：“要是斯嘉丽同学和米拉米大人肯当咱们外援，咱们绝对吊打圣·裁决没商量啊！
“为什么斯嘉丽是同学，我就是大人呢？” 米拉米听得相当的不爽：“我有那么老吗？”
“我是说大人，又不是说老人。”
“那有区别吗！” 女孩对“老”这个字眼绝对是相当敏感的，何况米拉米最痛恨的绰号就是‘老巫婆’。
米拉米一发火，胸口就开始起伏。 看得马东咽了好大口唾沫。
大和老的区别？ 当然有！
“这就是区别啊，真大……”马东鼻血都留出来了，情不自禁的脱口而出。
紧跟着，一只血淋淋的、解剖了一半的撒哈拉食金蚁就盖到了他头上。
“马东，去死吧你！”
圣·裁决VS奇葩社的一场社团战，终于在万众期待中开始了。
学院有专门的战队赛场，比赛双方还没到，这边早就已经人山人海。
这得归功于圣·裁决的宣传。
用陆战天的话来说，任何敢挑衅他们的家伙，唯一的结果就是身败名裂。
校报方面也在全程直播，一个小美女记者拿着话筒，正在镜头前拼命的大声说话：“我们可以看到现场的气氛相当火爆啊，人太多了，可以容纳两千人的会场几乎座无虚席！ 学员们都很热情，我戴着耳机都几乎听不清导播的声音，四周的噪音太大了！
镜头一转，四周的噪杂声顿时传了出来，简直是震耳欲聋。
奇葩社一赔十，圣·裁决一赔一啊！”
“靠，买一赔一，还不是等于没买！ 会不会玩儿啊你？”
“里维斯社长今天会出战吗？ 好想看里维斯社长战斗的样子哦！” 有花痴女在尖叫。
“对付奇葩社而已，里维斯真要上场就掉身价了，圣·裁决恐怕都不会上主力的吧。”
“前排高清****位，可以清晰的看到每一个溅血的瞬间！ 哥们昨天晚上就在这里通宵占座了，想看马东被爆菊的速度了！
马东在学院里也是小有名气，一年时间到处泡妞，战绩不知道，但这花花公子的名头还是有的，想要揍他的其他分院的学生也不在少数。
新学期开始，经过一个假期的修养，大家也需要一点出血的战斗提升一下斗志，尤其还事关集训名额，只是没想到的是，区区一个奇葩社竟然敢挑衅圣·裁决。
正介绍圣·裁决的时候，他们的人就先到了。 里维斯果然连来都没来，带队的是副社长陆战天，要是连对付奇葩社都弄得如临大敌一样，那就算赢了也没面子。
陆战天昂首挺胸，环顾四周，一副睥睨天下的感觉，其实当里维斯不在的时候，也是他自我感觉最良好的时候，狠狠的教育一下这些菜鸟。
另外一个自我感觉非常良好的就是马东，马东东穿着一身大红，还披着一个披风，骚包的一套糊涂，“里维斯呢，不会是吓得不敢来了吧。”
陆战天忍不住就笑了，轻蔑的看着对方，像是看一个小丑：“就凭你们这几块料，哪儿用得着社长亲自出马，如果不是要亲自教育教育你们，我也懒得来！”

Chapter 51 – The Prodigy Society’s First Battle
“Ma Dong, you scumbag! Don’t be so shameless!”
“Too shameless!”
“Now I really want to pick up a live ant and squish it to death!”
“Fuck, why didn’t I think of this method earlier?”
“Wang Zhong, let’s team up,” said Scarlet who was standing on the other side. She gave a faint smile and wouldn’t allow any of the others near her a chance. “There’re some things I need your advice on.”

“Ma Dong, go and die!”
Wang Zhong and Scarlet looked each other in the eye and didn’t bother to respond to these two fellows. Even Scarlet could see that Ma Dong was truly interested in Milami…
There was a specialized group battle arena within the academy which had long been packed full of people before the participants had even arrived.
Credit had to be given to the publicity that followed Holy Judgement.
From Lu Zhan Tian’s viewpoint, anyone who dared to challenge them was just bringing shame and humiliation upon themselves.
“As you can see, the atmosphere here is explosive! Ah, there are so many people present that this two thousand seat arena doesn’t have any empty seats.

"value": "Atlas Studios During the process of the spaceship diving down, the pilot sent out a distress signal to the area channel, and invisible waves spread out in space. The area channel was like the public channel for players—all the spaceships passing by the area were able to receive it.\n“This is Fawn Galaxy, the territory of Holy Stone Civilization and Black Raven Civilization. Friction occurs very often due to territory boundaries. These two large civilizations always have people stationed nearby, and they have set up very strong signal receivers that are sensitive to all sorts of waves. The Fawn Galaxy radiation is always operating at high output, which means that this area is like a bright spot in both of their detectors. If DarkStar activated a signal disruptor, there would be an obvious area with shade out of nowhere. Holy Stone Civilization and Black Raven Civilization would think its each other’s forces, they would definitely send people over,” Goa explained. “Therefore, I’m fifty percent sure that DarkStar is not disrupting the signal.”\nCommunication requests from Porter and Cerleni appeared on the screen, discussing their strategies anxiously. They had sent out a distress signal as well, but Cerleni was very pessimistic. “Even if someone receives our signal, the problem is, who dares to come? DarkStar is the one attacking us after all. Holy Stone and Black Raven might come to just watch and guard against DarkStar in case they have other motives, or they might not be willing to waste their military power to help us, a group of irrelevant mercenaries. Unlike Godora, who have so much hatred toward DarkStar, Holy Stone and Black Raven might not want to mess with DarkStar.\nThe three of them looked at their superiors, and the superiors nodded firmly.\n“We have already contacted the commander; he will come to save us. He’s sending emergency dispatch orders to the nearby teams. We fear DarkStar, but we definitely will not let them do whatever they want, and we will certainly not give up on our own people. The commander is currently assembling a fleet and sending out messages to all partners. We have to protect ourselves. Stall for time—there will definitely be someone here to save us.”\nAll the mercenaries were instantly motivated, and a sense of honor rose in their hearts as firmness and hope appeared on their faces.\n“Large armies really are different—they’re very united.” Han Xiao was envious. There were definitely some things that large armies did right after being created for so many years. Although they were all mercenaries that valued rewards, given that they could unite strong forces from everywhere showed that they knew how to build a sense of belonging. Although many members knew about this, they could not deny that they enjoyed it. After all, being in an organization that did not give up on its members was one thing that bonded them together in this cold universe.\nDarkStar was known to be fearsome, but Sky Ring, Blades, and Purple Gold were not some organizations that they could easily mess with. Other than their own forces, they also had a very complicated network in the mercenary industry. They had many partners, and they were all very strong individuals or organizations. It was not simply three large armies that DarkStar messed with—it was half of the entire mercenary industry throughout the three nearest Star Clusters!\nIn other words, DarkStar was used to being unbridled, but this time, they stabbed the hornet’s nest.\nHowever, a distant water source could not put out a nearby fire immediately.\nHan Xiao took out the unidirectional communicator that Jenny had given him. He calmed his mind and sent the request.\nThe mercenaries called for backup, and he also requested help from his cheap boss. He was not putting all his hope on the three armies.\nDing.\nAmes appeared on the screen. Han Xiao saw the environment Ames was in—a palace filled with a sense of magic, built with obsidian, white crystal, Mithril, fine gold, jade, and precious stones, like a piece of jewelry enlarged thousands of times. Mysterious magic patterns hovered in the air, colorful and bright. Many translucent magic dragons swam happily in the air. Ames was sitting in front of a small hovering table, and on it were all sorts of unique and rare foods. Sitting opposite her was… a kid in a red and white magic cape. He looked about six to seven years old, with sharp ears, white and tender skin, and a cute round face. The cape on him was like a blanket—it did not fit at all. The cape was long, but the kid was short, so it was almost burying him.\nHan Xiao’s mouth twitched. This little kid was another beyond grade A being of the Shattered Star Ring, a Mage whose race was a long-lived species that looked like humans on the outside, but his real age was hundreds or maybe even a thousand years old. Also, he was a fighting opponent of Ames’. More accurately, Ames was there as a guest. The four beyond grade A beings in the Shattered Star Ring knew each other. Fighting was just to kill time, and once they were tired from fighting, they would sit down to rest and have a meal together in a very peaceful manner… Han Xiao just pitied that small planet.\nAmes’ eyebrow raised a little. “It’s you, my new subordinate.”\n“… Did you forget my name?”\nAmes swiped the communicator like she was looking for something. One second later, she said with a very natural tone, “Black Star, what is the reason for you contacting me? Have you found the whereabouts of my teacher?”\nShe emphasized Han Xiao’s name like she was trying to say that she did not forget.\nHan Xiao shook his head and said, “The aircraft I’m currently in is attacked by DarkStar. The situation is dire, so I’m here to ask you for help.”\n“Why did DarkStar attack you?” Ames asked curiously.\nHan Xiao coughed.\n“A few days ago, DarkStar caused trouble on Floating Dragon while you were not there. It seems like they were up to something. Coincidentally, I happened to disrupt their plan. This attack should be an act of revenge.”\nAmes tilted her head. She recalled Jenny’s report. Now that DarkStar was mentioned, she seemed to have some kind of beef with DarkStar, and she had even been planning to find trouble with them earlier.\n“Alright, wait there, I’ll go when I’m free,” Ames said with a casual tone, then hung up the communication.\nHan Xiao was speechless. Ames’ attitude was carefree, so he had no way to force her to come immediately. He was not strong enough, so he could only seek help from someone stronger.\nReward: Basic reward 800,000 experience. The final reward depends on mission rating. The basic reward is given when achieving the lowest rating, D. After lasting for 2 days, the mission rating will reach D. The rating will increase by one level every 12 hours thereafter.\nHan Xiao looked around at the players and realized that their faces changed a little—they had probably triggered the mission as well.\nThis time, the reward for the players was exactly the same as Han Xiao, so all the players were shocked!\n800,000 experience!\nHan Xiao was long used to it; it was not much for him. However, to the players, this was the highest reward that they had ever seen in a mission!\nShock, joy, surprise—various expressions appeared on the players’ faces.\nHe was instantly troubled. They might not even last two hours, let alone two days.\nThis time, the aircraft finally returned to the ground and flew at a low altitude. This desolated planet was almost completely empty. It had no forests and no signs of life, and it was filled with stones and mountains. The only good thing about it was that its terrain was vicious enough. The three aircrafts took the same approach—stall for as much time as possible by using the obstacles in the terrain.\nHundreds of mini DarkStar hovering ships were in pursuit, firing green colored low-energy laser cannons from above, chasing after three spaceships, and creating clusters of dust on the ground. The sound of explosions was nonstop, and the spaceships’ shields were flashing from the impact.\nDarkStar wanted to capture them alive. They did not want to destroy the spaceships as it would destroy the Secret Message Bead that might be in the hands of one of them. So, they sent out mini hovering ships that were less than ten meters long. The mini laser cannons had very low power too, good for damaging yet not destroying. Using speed and mobility, they would force the mercenaries to give up their spaceships.\n“Split up!”\nThe three spaceships dashed past a black and gray colored menacing mountain, then suddenly split up and escaped in three different directions. Green lasers hit the mountain. With a loud bang, its peak broke and rolled down its hill, stirring up a cloud of thick dust. The hovering ships split into three groups as well, chasing after the spaceships.\nThe Sky Ring spaceship that Han Xiao was on was being chased by about a hundred hovering ships. However, unluckily, the direction that they turned toward was a plain land without any obstacles.\n“This is bad!” Their faces changed.\nThe pilot was covered in sweat, trying his best to control the spaceship and dodge the attacks. The dust created by the green lights was like a fountain. The spaceship was able to dodge some lasers, but it was getting hit more often than when the three spaceships were together. The shield was flashing rapidly.\n“Warning! Warning! Sixty-seven percent energy left in shield! Energy level entered the yellow warning zone! Please refill in time!”\n“Energy core close to overload! Please cool down in time!”\nA string of warnings was announced, like a hammer hitting their hearts.\nThe pilot’s face was pale.\nSuddenly, they saw Han Xiao walk out of the crowd. He walked to the pilot’s side, pressed on his shoulder, and said in a confident tone, “Stand up, give me the seat.”\nThe face of all the mercenaries in the spaceship changed. Changing pilot during the fight, are you sure‽\nGoa stared at Han Xiao and said, “This concerns the life or death of everyone here, do you know what you’re doing‽”\nHan Xiao nodded and said, “If he continues piloting, the chance of crashing is ninety-nine percent. If I do, it’s only thirty-percent.” “You!” The pilot was outraged.\nGoa stared at Han Xiao for a full two seconds, then nodded and said, “Okay, you do it.”\nThe Sky Ring mercenaries were shocked. Even though they knew Han Xiao’s capabilities, piloting a spaceship was completely different from fighting. In such urgent situations, no one would be willing to entrust their fate to someone whose pilot skill was unknown.\n“If we carry on this way, in less than an hour, our ship would crash. Let him try,” Goa explained.\nAlthough the pilot knew that this was a fact, he was unwilling to let someone else control his fate. After the expression on his face changed several times, he finally gave the position to Han Xiao.\nHan Xiao took over the pilot position immediately. This time, Goa walked to him and said in a very serious tone, “Black Star, our lives are in your hands… You must—must—be careful about this.”\nAt this moment, the mercenaries could only place their hopes on Han Xiao. Quite a number of mercenaries actually knew how to pilot a spaceship, but no one was confident that they could do it better than the previous pilot, nor did they have the guts to take on this responsibility, worrying that their mistake might kill everyone. This was a very large amount of pressure, and no one dared do it. Now that Han Xiao had stepped forward at this crucial moment, they could only hope that he was dependable.\n“Black Star, you know how to pilot spaceships‽” Herlous said with surprise.\n“I know many things. Do you know me very well?”\nHan Xiao adjusted the control panels casually and easily.\nPiloting a spaceship is nothing; I used to pilot mechanical suits!\nLike the difference between a passenger aircraft pilot and a fighter plane pilot, one requires safety and stability, and the other requires complexity. The difficulty of piloting a mechanical suit was much higher than a fighter plane.\nHan Xiao was someone who had horned his pilot skills killing other players in the galactic battlefields! Even in the entire universe, he was a top-notch ace pilot!\nThey suddenly heard an announcement from the system.\n“Have you lost your mind‽” the pilot yelled uncontrollably.\nEveryone was shocked. Han Xiao weakened the shield as soon as he took over. The spaceship’s defensive capability was largely decreased. If they got hit by attacks like earlier, the body of the spaceship would be damaged.\nWas that reminder all for nothing‽\nGoa was filled with regret. Just as he was about to yell, another announcement sounded from the system.\n“All energy is being directed into the engine… complete.”\nHan Xiao turned his head back a little and gave the people behind him a reminder.\n“Hold tight.” The next moment, the sudden explosive recoil tore straight through the internal gravitational stabilization of the spaceship—everyone staggered and fell down in unison.\nThe yelling that was just about to come out of Goa’s mouth fell right back down his throat!"

在飞船俯冲的过程，驾驶员操控飞船通讯，向地区频道发出求救讯号，无形的波段向着茫茫宇宙扩散出去，地区频道就像玩家眼里的区域公共频道，经过这片地区的所有飞船都能够接收。
“这里是费文星系，圣石文明与黑鸦文明的疆域，经常发生边界摩擦，两大文明的集团军常年驻守在附近，布置了强功率讯号收放器，对于各个波段都十分敏感，采集恒星辐射始终保持高功率运作，在双方的探测器上这一片区域如同白昼，如果黯星实行信号屏蔽，就像莫名多出一块阴影，无法隐瞒下来，高度戒备的圣石与黑鸦将担心阴影是彼此的战略行动，一定会被吸引过来。” 歌亚解释了一通，快速说道：“所以我有百分之五十的几率断定，黯星没有布置信号屏蔽。”
屏幕出现刀锋、紫金飞船珀特与法瑟雷尼的通讯，语气焦急，商讨战术，他们也同样发出求救讯号，可法瑟雷尼十分悲观，道：“即使有人接收了我们的求救，问题是谁敢过来？ 袭击我们的可是黯星，圣石与黑鸦也许会过来围观，防范黯星别有企图，但他们未必愿意浪费军力救助我们一群无关紧要的佣兵，他们又不是歌朵拉，与黯星有不可调节的仇恨，未必想要招惹黯星。”
三人看向各自军团高层，军团高层沉稳点头。
“我们已经联系上军团长，他会来救援我们，正在向附近地区的队伍发布紧急派遣令，我们忌惮黯星，但绝不会任由他为所欲为，更不会放弃自己人，军团长正在集结舰队，向所有合作者发布征召，我们必须保护好自己，拖延时间，一定会有人来救我们。”
所有佣兵精神一振，一脸肃容，一股子荣誉感从内心升起，士气回暖，众人脸上浮现坚定与希望。
“大军团果然非同凡响，凝聚力很强。” 韩萧暗暗羡慕，大军团成立多年，自然有可取之处，虽然是无利不起早的佣兵，但能够凝聚各路强者为其效力，必然懂得建立归属感，虽然很多成员都知道这一点，但是也不可否认，大多数人都很受用，毕竟有个不抛弃队友的组织，才能在冰冷的宇宙中建立起羁绊。
即使黯星凶名赫赫，天环、刀锋、紫金三家也不是吃素的，除了本身的力量外，还在佣兵行业有错综复杂的人脉，合作者众多，而且都是实力极强之辈，黯星招惹的不止是三个大军团那么简单，而是附近三个星团的半个佣兵行业！
换句话说，黯星肆无忌惮惯了，这次却是捅了马蜂窝。
只不过，远水暂时救不了近火。
韩萧拿出珍妮交给他的单向通讯器，定了定神，发出申请。
佣兵呼叫求援，他也向自己的便宜上司求援，不全指望三大军团。
叮。
艾默丝出现在屏幕上，韩萧看到艾默丝所处的环境，一座很有魔幻气息的宫殿，由黑曜石、白晶、秘银、精金、翡翠、宝石制成，仿佛放大了数千上万倍的珠宝雕塑，空气中浮动着玄妙的魔法回路，五光十色，璀璨迷幻。 许多半透明的法力浮龙在空气中欢快地游动，艾默丝正坐在飘浮的小桌前，桌上摆满各种珍奇食物，在她对面是一个披着红白色法袍的……小屁孩，外表看起来六七岁左右，耳朵尖尖，皮肤白嫩，脸蛋圆嘟嘟，袍子穿在他身上犹如一床卷起来的被子，十分不搭，袍子很长，小孩很矮，像是把他埋了起来。
韩萧嘴角抽动，这个小屁孩是破碎星环的另一名超A级，是个魔法师，是个外表类似人的长寿种族，真实年龄不知几百上千岁，而且他就是艾默丝打架的对象，确切来说，艾默丝是来作客的，破碎星环四位超A级互相认识，打架只是消遣活动，打累了就吃饭休息，气氛非常和谐……韩萧只可怜那颗红颜薄命的小行星，命苦啊。
艾默丝眉头微挑，“是你啊，我的新部下。”
“……你是不是忘了我的名字？”
艾默丝在通讯器划拉了一下，仿佛调出什么界面，过了一秒，才自然道：“黑星，找我有什么事，你找到我老师的下落了？”
她在叫韩萧代号的时候加重了语气，仿佛在强调自己没忘。
韩萧摇头，道：“我所在的飞船被黯星袭击，情况危急，我来向你求援。”
“黯星为什么袭击你？” 艾默丝好奇。
韩萧干咳一声。
“前几天，黯星趁你不在，肆无忌惮在龙坦闹事，似乎有阴谋，恰巧被我撞破，此番袭击应该是报复。”
艾默丝歪了歪头，想起珍妮的汇报，说起来，黯星和她有些过节，她此前还准备找黯星麻烦呢。
“好吧，你在那里等着，我有空就过去。” 艾默丝语气随意，说完挂断了通讯。
韩萧无奈，艾默丝的态度无所谓，没办法强迫她立即过来，自己实力不够，只能求助于强者，周旋一番。
[你触发紧急任务【逃出生天】！ [奖励：基础奖励80w经验，最终奖励取决于任务评分。
韩萧眼神一闪，扫视周围玩家，发现他们同时脸色微变，估计也触发了任务。
这次，玩家的任务奖励与韩萧完全一样，所有玩家都惊呆了！
八十万经验！
韩萧早已司空见惯，对他来说就像九牛一毛，然而对于玩家来说，这是他们见过奖励最高的任务！
玩家脸上浮现各种情绪，震惊、狂喜、惊愕等等。
他顿时觉得蛋疼，别说两天了，坚持两小时都够呛。
这时，飞船终于回到地表，贴地飞行，这颗荒芜星球几乎光秃秃一片，没有森林，没有生机，满是嶙峋的怪石与山脉，唯一的好处就是地形足够险恶，三艘飞船都采取相同的计划——借助地形障碍尽量拖延时间。
数百艘黯星小型浮游舰追逐，居高临下射出一发发低量级激光炮，呈现绿色，追着三艘飞船的尾巴，在地面炸出一朵朵烟尘，爆炸轰鸣不绝，造成的冲击波让飞船的磁场护盾若隐若现。
黯星要活捉众人，不想打爆飞船，那样会连带着可能存在的密语珠一同炸碎，所以派出小型浮游舰，浮游舰长度还不到十米，微型激光炮威力很小，足以伤而不杀，用速度与灵巧围追堵截，逼迫众人弃船。
“分头跑！”
三艘飞船掠过一座黑灰色的险恶山峰，紧接着忽然分头，向三个方向逃跑。 追来的绿色激光击中山峰，轰隆一声，峰头断裂，顺着坡度轰隆隆滚下，铲起灰尘滚滚，如同猛龙下山。 以断裂山峰为分界点，浮游舰队同样分开三路，追击各自的飞船。
韩萧所在的天环飞船遭到上百艘浮游舰追杀，然而不巧的是，他们转来的这个方向，竟然一马平川，是一片没有障碍的平原。
众人脸色一变。
驾驶员满头大汗，尽力操纵着飞船机动躲避，如同水蛇般扭动，绿光炸起的尘土如同喷泉，洒在船身。 飞船躲开一部分激光，然而被击中的几率比三船共同行动时更高，护盾闪烁不定。
护盾能量剩余67%！ 抵达黄色警戒线，请及时补充！” “能源核心接近超载！
请及时冷却！”
一连串系统警报发出，如同重锤狠狠打在众人心头。
驾驶员脸色煞白。
忽然，众人看到韩萧越众而出，走到驾驶位旁边，按住驾驶员的肩膀，用不容置疑的语气说道。 “你起开，位置给我。”
船上的所有佣兵脸色一变，临阵换驾驶，你靠谱吗？
“这关系到整船人的生死，你知道你在做什么吗！” 歌亚紧紧盯着韩萧。
韩萧点头，毫不客气，道：“他来开船，坠毁的几率是99%，我来开船，几率只有30%。”
歌亚盯着韩萧，足足两秒，重重点头道：“好，你来。”
天环佣兵登时哗然，他们虽然知道黑星厉害，但开船又不是战斗，情况紧急，谁也不愿意把命运交给一个技术未知的家伙。
“照这样下去，不用一小时，我们的船就会坠毁，让他试一试。”
歌亚解释。 即使驾驶员明知如此，也不愿意让别人掌握自己的命运，脸色一阵青一阵白，最后还是一脸不情愿让开了。
韩萧立马接替驾驶位，这时，歌亚凑上来，语气极其认真。 “黑星，你手里握着我们的生死……千万、千万要稳住。”
事已至此，所有佣兵只能寄希望于韩萧，其实不少佣兵都会驾驶飞船，但是没有人自信可以做得更好，更不敢扛起这个责任，担心自己失误会害死全部人，这份压力是很大的，没人敢取而代之，韩萧能够关键时刻走出来，他们只希望真的靠谱。
！” 梅洛斯诧异。
“我会的多了，你很了解我吗？”
韩萧轻车熟路调整操控板。
开飞船算什么，咱以前可是开机甲的！
就像客机驾驶员与战斗机驾驶员的区别，一个要求安全稳定，一个要求骚出天际，而机甲的操作难度与要求远远比战斗机难多了。
韩萧可是在宇宙战场与玩家pk中磨炼出来的船技！ 就算放在星际里，他也是顶尖的王牌驾驶员！
众人忽然听见系统的播报。
“你疯了？ ！”
驾驶员失声惊叫。 所有人大惊失色，韩萧刚一接手就削弱护盾，防御能力大为减弱，要是遭到刚才的攻击强度，飞船本体就会受损。
！
歌亚大为后悔，刚要开口呵斥，飞船系统音再度响起。
“所有能源正在推进引擎……输入成功。”
韩萧偏了偏头，向着身后的诸人提醒了一句。
下一刻，猛然爆发的后座力直接突破了飞船的内部重力稳定，所有人一个趔趄，齐刷刷扑街。
歌亚正要出口的斥责，直接被摔回了喉咙里！

Atlas Studios During the process of the spaceship diving down, the pilot sent out a distress signal to the area channel, and invisible waves spread out in space. The area channel was like the public channel for players—all the spaceships passing by the area were able to receive it.
“This is Fawn Galaxy, the territory of Holy Stone Civilization and Black Raven Civilization. Friction occurs very often due to territory boundaries. These two large civilizations always have people stationed nearby, and they have set up very strong signal receivers that are sensitive to all sorts of waves. The Fawn Galaxy radiation is always operating at high output, which means that this area is like a bright spot in both of their detectors. If DarkStar activated a signal disruptor, there would be an obvious area with shade out of nowhere. Holy Stone Civilization and Black Raven Civilization would think its each other’s forces, they would definitely send people over,” Goa explained. “Therefore, I’m fifty percent sure that DarkStar is not disrupting the signal.”
Communication requests from Porter and Cerleni appeared on the screen, discussing their strategies anxiously. They had sent out a distress signal as well, but Cerleni was very pessimistic. “Even if someone receives our signal, the problem is, who dares to come? DarkStar is the one attacking us after all. Holy Stone and Black Raven might come to just watch and guard against DarkStar in case they have other motives, or they might not be willing to waste their military power to help us, a group of irrelevant mercenaries. Unlike Godora, who have so much hatred toward DarkStar, Holy Stone and Black Raven might not want to mess with DarkStar.
The three of them looked at their superiors, and the superiors nodded firmly.
“We have already contacted the commander; he will come to save us. He’s sending emergency dispatch orders to the nearby teams. We fear DarkStar, but we definitely will not let them do whatever they want, and we will certainly not give up on our own people. The commander is currently assembling a fleet and sending out messages to all partners. We have to protect ourselves. Stall for time—there will definitely be someone here to save us.”
All the mercenaries were instantly motivated, and a sense of honor rose in their hearts as firmness and hope appeared on their faces.
“Large armies really are different—they’re very united.” Han Xiao was envious. There were definitely some things that large armies did right after being created for so many years. Although they were all mercenaries that valued rewards, given that they could unite strong forces from everywhere showed that they knew how to build a sense of belonging. Although many members knew about this, they could not deny that they enjoyed it. After all, being in an organization that did not give up on its members was one thing that bonded them together in this cold universe.
DarkStar was known to be fearsome, but Sky Ring, Blades, and Purple Gold were not some organizations that they could easily mess with. Other than their own forces, they also had a very complicated network in the mercenary industry. They had many partners, and they were all very strong individuals or organizations. It was not simply three large armies that DarkStar messed with—it was half of the entire mercenary industry throughout the three nearest Star Clusters!
In other words, DarkStar was used to being unbridled, but this time, they stabbed the hornet’s nest.
However, a distant water source could not put out a nearby fire immediately.
Han Xiao took out the unidirectional communicator that Jenny had given him. He calmed his mind and sent the request.
The mercenaries called for backup, and he also requested help from his cheap boss. He was not putting all his hope on the three armies.
Ding.
Ames appeared on the screen. Han Xiao saw the environment Ames was in—a palace filled with a sense of magic, built with obsidian, white crystal, Mithril, fine gold, jade, and precious stones, like a piece of jewelry enlarged thousands of times. Mysterious magic patterns hovered in the air, colorful and bright. Many translucent magic dragons swam happily in the air. Ames was sitting in front of a small hovering table, and on it were all sorts of unique and rare foods. Sitting opposite her was… a kid in a red and white magic cape. He looked about six to seven years old, with sharp ears, white and tender skin, and a cute round face. The cape on him was like a blanket—it did not fit at all. The cape was long, but the kid was short, so it was almost burying him.
Han Xiao’s mouth twitched. This little kid was another beyond grade A being of the Shattered Star Ring, a Mage whose race was a long-lived species that looked like humans on the outside, but his real age was hundreds or maybe even a thousand years old. Also, he was a fighting opponent of Ames’. More accurately, Ames was there as a guest. The four beyond grade A beings in the Shattered Star Ring knew each other. Fighting was just to kill time, and once they were tired from fighting, they would sit down to rest and have a meal together in a very peaceful manner… Han Xiao just pitied that small planet.
Ames’ eyebrow raised a little. “It’s you, my new subordinate.”
“… Did you forget my name?”
Ames swiped the communicator like she was looking for something. One second later, she said with a very natural tone, “Black Star, what is the reason for you contacting me? Have you found the whereabouts of my teacher?”
She emphasized Han Xiao’s name like she was trying to say that she did not forget.
Han Xiao shook his head and said, “The aircraft I’m currently in is attacked by DarkStar. The situation is dire, so I’m here to ask you for help.”
“Why did DarkStar attack you?” Ames asked curiously.
Han Xiao coughed.
“A few days ago, DarkStar caused trouble on Floating Dragon while you were not there. It seems like they were up to something. Coincidentally, I happened to disrupt their plan. This attack should be an act of revenge.”
Ames tilted her head. She recalled Jenny’s report. Now that DarkStar was mentioned, she seemed to have some kind of beef with DarkStar, and she had even been planning to find trouble with them earlier.
“Alright, wait there, I’ll go when I’m free,” Ames said with a casual tone, then hung up the communication.
Han Xiao was speechless. Ames’ attitude was carefree, so he had no way to force her to come immediately. He was not strong enough, so he could only seek help from someone stronger.
Reward: Basic reward 800,000 experience. The final reward depends on mission rating. The basic reward is given when achieving the lowest rating, D. After lasting for 2 days, the mission rating will reach D. The rating will increase by one level every 12 hours thereafter.
Han Xiao looked around at the players and realized that their faces changed a little—they had probably triggered the mission as well.
This time, the reward for the players was exactly the same as Han Xiao, so all the players were shocked!
800,000 experience!
Han Xiao was long used to it; it was not much for him. However, to the players, this was the highest reward that they had ever seen in a mission!
Shock, joy, surprise—various expressions appeared on the players’ faces.
He was instantly troubled. They might not even last two hours, let alone two days.
This time, the aircraft finally returned to the ground and flew at a low altitude. This desolated planet was almost completely empty. It had no forests and no signs of life, and it was filled with stones and mountains. The only good thing about it was that its terrain was vicious enough. The three aircrafts took the same approach—stall for as much time as possible by using the obstacles in the terrain.
Hundreds of mini DarkStar hovering ships were in pursuit, firing green colored low-energy laser cannons from above, chasing after three spaceships, and creating clusters of dust on the ground. The sound of explosions was nonstop, and the spaceships’ shields were flashing from the impact.
DarkStar wanted to capture them alive. They did not want to destroy the spaceships as it would destroy the Secret Message Bead that might be in the hands of one of them. So, they sent out mini hovering ships that were less than ten meters long. The mini laser cannons had very low power too, good for damaging yet not destroying. Using speed and mobility, they would force the mercenaries to give up their spaceships.
“Split up!”
The three spaceships dashed past a black and gray colored menacing mountain, then suddenly split up and escaped in three different directions. Green lasers hit the mountain. With a loud bang, its peak broke and rolled down its hill, stirring up a cloud of thick dust. The hovering ships split into three groups as well, chasing after the spaceships.
The Sky Ring spaceship that Han Xiao was on was being chased by about a hundred hovering ships. However, unluckily, the direction that they turned toward was a plain land without any obstacles.
“This is bad!” Their faces changed.
The pilot was covered in sweat, trying his best to control the spaceship and dodge the attacks. The dust created by the green lights was like a fountain. The spaceship was able to dodge some lasers, but it was getting hit more often than when the three spaceships were together. The shield was flashing rapidly.
“Warning! Warning! Sixty-seven percent energy left in shield! Energy level entered the yellow warning zone! Please refill in time!”
“Energy core close to overload! Please cool down in time!”
A string of warnings was announced, like a hammer hitting their hearts.
The pilot’s face was pale.
Suddenly, they saw Han Xiao walk out of the crowd. He walked to the pilot’s side, pressed on his shoulder, and said in a confident tone, “Stand up, give me the seat.”
The face of all the mercenaries in the spaceship changed. Changing pilot during the fight, are you sure‽
Goa stared at Han Xiao and said, “This concerns the life or death of everyone here, do you know what you’re doing‽”
Han Xiao nodded and said, “If he continues piloting, the chance of crashing is ninety-nine percent. If I do, it’s only thirty-percent.” “You!” The pilot was outraged.
Goa stared at Han Xiao for a full two seconds, then nodded and said, “Okay, you do it.”
The Sky Ring mercenaries were shocked. Even though they knew Han Xiao’s capabilities, piloting a spaceship was completely different from fighting. In such urgent situations, no one would be willing to entrust their fate to someone whose pilot skill was unknown.
“If we carry on this way, in less than an hour, our ship would crash. Let him try,” Goa explained.
Although the pilot knew that this was a fact, he was unwilling to let someone else control his fate. After the expression on his face changed several times, he finally gave the position to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao took over the pilot position immediately. This time, Goa walked to him and said in a very serious tone, “Black Star, our lives are in your hands… You must—must—be careful about this.”
At this moment, the mercenaries could only place their hopes on Han Xiao. Quite a number of mercenaries actually knew how to pilot a spaceship, but no one was confident that they could do it better than the previous pilot, nor did they have the guts to take on this responsibility, worrying that their mistake might kill everyone. This was a very large amount of pressure, and no one dared do it. Now that Han Xiao had stepped forward at this crucial moment, they could only hope that he was dependable.
“Black Star, you know how to pilot spaceships‽” Herlous said with surprise.
“I know many things. Do you know me very well?”
Han Xiao adjusted the control panels casually and easily.
Piloting a spaceship is nothing; I used to pilot mechanical suits!
Like the difference between a passenger aircraft pilot and a fighter plane pilot, one requires safety and stability, and the other requires complexity. The difficulty of piloting a mechanical suit was much higher than a fighter plane.
Han Xiao was someone who had horned his pilot skills killing other players in the galactic battlefields! Even in the entire universe, he was a top-notch ace pilot!
They suddenly heard an announcement from the system.
“Have you lost your mind‽” the pilot yelled uncontrollably.
Everyone was shocked. Han Xiao weakened the shield as soon as he took over. The spaceship’s defensive capability was largely decreased. If they got hit by attacks like earlier, the body of the spaceship would be damaged.
Was that reminder all for nothing‽
Goa was filled with regret. Just as he was about to yell, another announcement sounded from the system.
“All energy is being directed into the engine… complete.”
Han Xiao turned his head back a little and gave the people behind him a reminder.
“Hold tight.” The next moment, the sudden explosive recoil tore straight through the internal gravitational stabilization of the spaceship—everyone staggered and fell down in unison.
The yelling that was just about to come out of Goa’s mouth fell right back down his throat!

"value": "Chapter 114: An\nCoach Zhuang had an uncle who worked in the Provincial Sport Department as a vice director. Although he may not have had the strongest network, he definitely had a good one. When trying to bully people, one had to watch out for powerful connections. Other coaches who wanted to grab athletes from the long jump team had to evaluate themselves first, and decide whether they were able to offend Xuexi Zhuang without any negative effects.\nOn an entire team, it was OK if only three to five people transferred to other teams. But thirty was definitely beyond acceptable. Even badminton and tennis had dared to take athletes from this team. It was incredible.\nXuexi Zhuang does not look like a loser. How could he take that? Dai Li thought. He asked, \"What did Coach Zhuang do when the others came to take the athletes?\"\nThe long jumper immediately replied, \"He did nothing but welcome the coaches. I guess he thought the less people there were, the easier the job would be.\"\nAnother athlete interrupted him and said, \"Actually, lately Coach Zhuang had not even arranged our training. We all worked on our own.\"\n\"Why?\" asked Dai Li.\n\"Because he is going to the shot put team, he did not pay attention to us anymore,\" said the athlete in a low voice, \"I heard him talking to someone else on the phone. He said that because he was going to the shot put team, there was no need to waste his time and effort on the long jump team.\"\nHow could he evade responsibility! Dai Li was filled with fury. He had been pissed off by Coach Zhuang several times already in only one day.\nTo Dai Li, as long as he was in charge, he would perform his duties. Afterwards, he would have to shoulder the responsibility. Dai Li had not asked Xuexi Zhuang to be as considerate as he had been, but he could have at least not left an awful mess for him.\nNevertheless, Xuexi Zhuang did not seem to have done anything right. Once he found out that the shot put team surprisingly defeated Nantan Middle School, he had decided to take the team as his own. He had even let the other teams pick out athletes as they wished, and did not even schedule daily training. Dai Li had inherited an impossible situation.\nLuckily we have sixteen people left. I guess since they remain unpicked, their ability must be so-so, Dai Li thought. He detected the whole team.\nFirst one... D+ talent? What the heck is this? How could a D+ be on this team?\nSecond one… D talent! Even worse than D+. Does it only get worse from here?\nThird one, D+! Another D+, what is going on here? Why are there so many untalented athletes on a provincial team? I guess technically D-level talent can be categorized as amateurs, but they have a long way to go to become professionals.\nDai Li was upset. He dared not detect anyone else, worried he would see a worse result.\nThis team is awful. The previous shot put team had five C-level athletes. Now I have to deal with a group of D-level athletes. Damn Xuexi Zhuang! How dare you grab my team and leave me a mess? Even with my great ability, I can't do anything in this situation. Dai Li swore Xuexi Zhuang in his mind.\nIt was common to have D-level athletes among Youth Team newcomers. Although Dai Li had had five C-level shot putters, they had been training for more than a year and had not be kicked off the team. These D-level athletes already meant game over. Because Dai Li was leading a group of newbies, it was no wonder he had so many D-level athletes.\nWhile Dai Li was worrying about what he was going to do, three people walked towards him.\nThe leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties with dark skin and medium figure. He was well-dressed. The other two following him were in their thirtes. The one on the left wore a pair of golden wire frame glasses and had a briefcase in his hand, looking studious; the one on the right was a muscular man in a T-shirt, and was not very tall. He looked like a soldier.\n\"Manager Fang, this is the long jump training field.\" The studious man pointed in Dai Li's direction.\nThe middle-aged man nodded, striding forward. Dai Li welcomed him.\n\"What can I do for you?\" asked Dai Li.\n\"Are you the coach of the long jump?\" the middle-aged man asked in reply.\n\"Yes, I am. I'm the new chief coach of the long jump team,\" Dai Li nodded.\n\"Nice to meet you. I'm Haiquan Fang's father. I'm here to take him away.\" The man introduced himself in a flat voice, but Dai Li could feel a sense of dignity.\n\"Haiquan Fang?\" It was Dai Li's first day here, so he was not familiar with his team. He thought about it carefully, then finally remembered that there was someone named Haiquan Fang. Dai Li immediately opened the name list, and the name was right there.\nThere is someone named Haiquan Fang, but I do not know which one he is. Dai Li turned around to an athlete behind him and said, \"Go tell Haiquan Fang to come here. His father is looking for him.\"\nDai Li thought it was a parent asking for his child's leave, so he asked, \"Could you please tell me the reason Haiquan Fang has to leave? When will he return? I need to know so I can make a record.\"\n\"Leave? Who said my son is asking for leave?\" Manager Fang stood in a daze, then realized that Dai Li had misunderstood him.\n\"I'm not asking for leave, I'm here to take him away from here. We will never come back,\" said Manager Fang.\nYou mean Haiquan wants to leave the team? Dai Li's thoughts were all over the place.\nWhat a bad day it is! The first day I'm on duty I'm welcomed with a mess, and now someone wants to leave. It must be because Xuexi Zhuang did not train the athletes hard recently, which disappointed the parents.\nThinking about this, Dai Li smiled and said, \"I heard that you are 'Manager Fang.' May I refer to you the same way? Manager Fang, allow me to explain. Recently we had an inner transfer. The previous coach, Xuexi Zhuang, went to another team, which is why training was not as effective as before. But please relax. There is no need to worry about this anymore. I'm the new chief coach of the long jump team. I will take good care of the team, and never allow those problems to happen again.\"\n\"I don't care about what happened here. I'm here to take my son.\" Manager Fang looked indifferent. Haiquan Fang was running towards them.\n\"Dad, why you are here!\" Haiquan Fang looked resistant. \"I told you I would never leave this team!\"\n\"No way! You have to go back!\" Manager Fang said decisively.\n\"No! Never!\" Haiquan Fang was also stern in his speech.\n\"How dare you! If you do not come with me, do not expect to get a cent from me!\" Manager Fang was angry.\n\"Who cares! My team takes care of my living and dining costs. Once I join the Sport Team, I will make a living myself. I do not need your money!\" Haiquan Fang had adequate reasons for not needing his father's money.\nSeeing that the father and son were having an argument, Dai Li immediately interrupted and said, \"Please, there is no need to argue. How about we sit down and discuss it?\"\nMeanwhile, Dai Li detected Haiquan Fang. An \"A\" showed up in the System!\nWhat! A-level! Fang has A-level talent in thelong jump! He has the potential to become a world-class athlete. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to win a world championship!\nDai Li made a decision: never let Haiquan Fang leave!"

第一一四章
庄学习有一个在省体育局当副局长的叔叔，他的后台未必是最硬的，但绝对也是花岗岩级别的。 所谓打狗还得看主人，其他训练组的教练想要到跳远组里挖人，首先也得掂量掂量，自己有没有能耐惹得起庄学习。
对于整个跳远组来说，如果只是被挖走三五个人的话，完全可以看做是正常的人员流动，也被别的组挖走了三十多个人，这可就不正常了，甚至连羽毛球队和排球队这种，不属于田径系统的训练队都跑来挖人，这更是让李戴觉得不可思议。
难道他就任由别人挖走自己的运动员？” 李戴一边想着，一边开口问道：“别的训练组来挖人，庄教练就没有管管么？”
那名运动员马上说道：“庄教练根本就不管，反而非常的欢迎，他可能是觉得少一个人，自己也能省一份心吧。”
此时，旁边的一个运动员也插嘴说道：“其实这些天，庄教练连我们的训练都没有怎么安排，我们现在全靠自己练。”
“为什么？” 李戴马上问。
“是因为他要去铅球组了，所以他的心思也不再这里的。” 说话的那名运动员小声补充道：“我偷听庄教练讲电话来着，他说既然马上就要去铅球组了，继续花心思在跳远组，等于是白浪费功夫。”
李戴心中又一次升起了一股怒气。 这短短的一天之内，他已经被庄学习气了好几次了。
所谓当一天和尚撞一天钟，如果是李戴的话，即便是第二天要离开，也会站好最后一班岗，尽到作为教练的责任。 李戴不要求庄学习有着和自己一样思想觉悟，但最起码不要搞破坏，把事情弄的一团糟。
然而庄学习还就是成事不足败事有余，当他得知铅球组逆袭南滩中学时，便已经将铅球组视为自己的囊中之物，而且还放任别的训练队来挖人，甚至连日常的训练也不安排了，给了李戴留下了一个糟糕的烂摊子。
“还好剩下了十六个人。 不过这十六个人既然没有被别的队给挖走，估计是实力比较一般吧！”
“第一个，天赋D+？ 这是什么鬼？
D级天赋的家伙是怎么混到这里来的。” “第二个，天赋D！
都到了省级的训练队了，怎么还有天赋这么差的运动员？ 不，严格的来说，这种天赋只能算是业余级的，想要成为职业运动员的话，需要付出太多的努力了。”
李戴的脸色顿时阴沉下来，他甚至有些不敢对下一个人进行侦测了，生怕再检测出一个糟糕的结果。
可恶的庄学习！ 抢了我的运动员也就罢了，还给我留下了一群战五渣，都是D级天赋，我就算是有天大的本事，也很难出成绩了。” 李戴心中又一次暗骂庄学习。
青年队中的新人里，D级天赋是比较常见的，之前李戴在铅球队的时候，遇到苏健康等五个人虽然是C级天赋，可他们是经过了一年多的训练后坚持下来，没有被淘汰掉，和他们同期那些D级天赋的运动员，早就被淘汰出局了。
李戴正在苦恼的时候，远处走来了三个人。
为首的是一个不到五十岁的中年人，皮肤略黑，中等身材，穿着考究。 后面的两个人都是三十岁出头的样子，左边一人带着金丝框的眼镜，手里拿着公文包，颇有几分书生气；右边则是一个壮汉，个子不算高，穿着短袖T恤，露出来的胳膊肌肉结实，而他整个人都透着一股军人的气质。 这样的三个人出现在训练场，不免惹人注意，而这三人也直接奔着李戴这边走来。
“方总，这里就是跳远队的训练场。” 书生气眼镜男指着李戴的位置说。
中年人点了点头，大跨步的走上前去，而李戴也迎了上来。
“几位有什么事情么？” 李戴率先问道。
“你是跳远队的教练？” 那名中年人反问道。
“对，是我。 我是跳远队的新任教练。” 李戴点了点头。
“你好，我是方海泉的父亲，我是来带他走的。” 中年人话语虽然平淡，但透露出一股威严的气味。
他仔细的想了一下，才记起在人名册上隐约有这个名字。 李戴马上翻开了人名册，果然看到了“方海泉”这三个字。 “剩下来的十六个人中，的确有这个方海泉，只是不知道哪个才是。”
李戴转过身去，对身后的一名运动员说道：“去把方海泉叫过来，告诉他，他父亲来找他了。”
李戴以为是家长来请假的，于是开口问道：“我想问一下，方海泉是因为什么事情请假，我这边也好有个纪录。” “请假？
谁说要请假了？” 方总微微一愣，随后意识到，李戴是误会了自己的意思。
“我不是来给方海泉请假的，我是来带他走的，离开这里，不会再回来。”
方总开口说。 “你的意思是要方海泉退队？”
“怎么这么倒霉，第一天来跳远组，剩下个烂摊子不说，还有人要退队，肯定因为前些天庄学习没有好好安排训练，结果人家的家长不满意了，所以要走！”
李戴想到这里，脸上立刻呈现出了笑容，他开口说道：“我听旁边这位称呼您为‘方总’，我也就叫您‘方总’了。 方总，我先给你解释一下，最近几天，我们田径队内有人员的变动，原来的那位庄教练要调职去别的队，所以在日常训练方面有所放松。 不过现在您不用担心了，我已经正式的调任到这里了，以后跳远队的训练由我来负责，绝对不会出现训练放松的情况。”
“你们田径队自己的事情，我没兴趣知道，我来的目的，就是把我儿子带走。”
“爸，你怎么来了！” 方海泉脸上带着一股抵触的样子：“我不是跟你说了么，我不会去，我就在这里了！”
“不行，你必须跟我回去！”
“说不回去，就不回去！” 方海泉也一样很坚决。
“翅膀硬了是不？ 你要是不回去，别指望我再给你一分钱！” 方总一脸生气的说。
“用不着你给我钱！ 我在队里管吃管住，等我进了体工大队，自己赚钱养活自己，用不着你的钱！” 方海泉一脸硬气的说道。
眼看着父子二人就要吵起来了，李戴立刻跑到了二人中间：“二位不要吵，咱们有话慢慢说，慢慢说。”
与此同时，李戴对着方海泉用了一次侦测。 一个“A“出现在了系统当中！

Chapter 114: An
Coach Zhuang had an uncle who worked in the Provincial Sport Department as a vice director. Although he may not have had the strongest network, he definitely had a good one. When trying to bully people, one had to watch out for powerful connections. Other coaches who wanted to grab athletes from the long jump team had to evaluate themselves first, and decide whether they were able to offend Xuexi Zhuang without any negative effects.
On an entire team, it was OK if only three to five people transferred to other teams. But thirty was definitely beyond acceptable. Even badminton and tennis had dared to take athletes from this team. It was incredible.
Xuexi Zhuang does not look like a loser. How could he take that? Dai Li thought. He asked, "What did Coach Zhuang do when the others came to take the athletes?"
The long jumper immediately replied, "He did nothing but welcome the coaches. I guess he thought the less people there were, the easier the job would be."
Another athlete interrupted him and said, "Actually, lately Coach Zhuang had not even arranged our training. We all worked on our own."
"Why?" asked Dai Li.
"Because he is going to the shot put team, he did not pay attention to us anymore," said the athlete in a low voice, "I heard him talking to someone else on the phone. He said that because he was going to the shot put team, there was no need to waste his time and effort on the long jump team."
How could he evade responsibility! Dai Li was filled with fury. He had been pissed off by Coach Zhuang several times already in only one day.
To Dai Li, as long as he was in charge, he would perform his duties. Afterwards, he would have to shoulder the responsibility. Dai Li had not asked Xuexi Zhuang to be as considerate as he had been, but he could have at least not left an awful mess for him.
Nevertheless, Xuexi Zhuang did not seem to have done anything right. Once he found out that the shot put team surprisingly defeated Nantan Middle School, he had decided to take the team as his own. He had even let the other teams pick out athletes as they wished, and did not even schedule daily training. Dai Li had inherited an impossible situation.
Luckily we have sixteen people left. I guess since they remain unpicked, their ability must be so-so, Dai Li thought. He detected the whole team.
First one... D+ talent? What the heck is this? How could a D+ be on this team?
Second one… D talent! Even worse than D+. Does it only get worse from here?
Third one, D+! Another D+, what is going on here? Why are there so many untalented athletes on a provincial team? I guess technically D-level talent can be categorized as amateurs, but they have a long way to go to become professionals.
Dai Li was upset. He dared not detect anyone else, worried he would see a worse result.
This team is awful. The previous shot put team had five C-level athletes. Now I have to deal with a group of D-level athletes. Damn Xuexi Zhuang! How dare you grab my team and leave me a mess? Even with my great ability, I can't do anything in this situation. Dai Li swore Xuexi Zhuang in his mind.
It was common to have D-level athletes among Youth Team newcomers. Although Dai Li had had five C-level shot putters, they had been training for more than a year and had not be kicked off the team. These D-level athletes already meant game over. Because Dai Li was leading a group of newbies, it was no wonder he had so many D-level athletes.
While Dai Li was worrying about what he was going to do, three people walked towards him.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties with dark skin and medium figure. He was well-dressed. The other two following him were in their thirtes. The one on the left wore a pair of golden wire frame glasses and had a briefcase in his hand, looking studious; the one on the right was a muscular man in a T-shirt, and was not very tall. He looked like a soldier.
"Manager Fang, this is the long jump training field." The studious man pointed in Dai Li's direction.
The middle-aged man nodded, striding forward. Dai Li welcomed him.
"What can I do for you?" asked Dai Li.
"Are you the coach of the long jump?" the middle-aged man asked in reply.
"Yes, I am. I'm the new chief coach of the long jump team," Dai Li nodded.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Haiquan Fang's father. I'm here to take him away." The man introduced himself in a flat voice, but Dai Li could feel a sense of dignity.
"Haiquan Fang?" It was Dai Li's first day here, so he was not familiar with his team. He thought about it carefully, then finally remembered that there was someone named Haiquan Fang. Dai Li immediately opened the name list, and the name was right there.
There is someone named Haiquan Fang, but I do not know which one he is. Dai Li turned around to an athlete behind him and said, "Go tell Haiquan Fang to come here. His father is looking for him."
Dai Li thought it was a parent asking for his child's leave, so he asked, "Could you please tell me the reason Haiquan Fang has to leave? When will he return? I need to know so I can make a record."
"Leave? Who said my son is asking for leave?" Manager Fang stood in a daze, then realized that Dai Li had misunderstood him.
"I'm not asking for leave, I'm here to take him away from here. We will never come back," said Manager Fang.
You mean Haiquan wants to leave the team? Dai Li's thoughts were all over the place.
What a bad day it is! The first day I'm on duty I'm welcomed with a mess, and now someone wants to leave. It must be because Xuexi Zhuang did not train the athletes hard recently, which disappointed the parents.
Thinking about this, Dai Li smiled and said, "I heard that you are 'Manager Fang.' May I refer to you the same way? Manager Fang, allow me to explain. Recently we had an inner transfer. The previous coach, Xuexi Zhuang, went to another team, which is why training was not as effective as before. But please relax. There is no need to worry about this anymore. I'm the new chief coach of the long jump team. I will take good care of the team, and never allow those problems to happen again."
"I don't care about what happened here. I'm here to take my son." Manager Fang looked indifferent. Haiquan Fang was running towards them.
"Dad, why you are here!" Haiquan Fang looked resistant. "I told you I would never leave this team!"
"No way! You have to go back!" Manager Fang said decisively.
"No! Never!" Haiquan Fang was also stern in his speech.
"How dare you! If you do not come with me, do not expect to get a cent from me!" Manager Fang was angry.
"Who cares! My team takes care of my living and dining costs. Once I join the Sport Team, I will make a living myself. I do not need your money!" Haiquan Fang had adequate reasons for not needing his father's money.
Seeing that the father and son were having an argument, Dai Li immediately interrupted and said, "Please, there is no need to argue. How about we sit down and discuss it?"
Meanwhile, Dai Li detected Haiquan Fang. An "A" showed up in the System!
What! A-level! Fang has A-level talent in thelong jump! He has the potential to become a world-class athlete. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to win a world championship!
Dai Li made a decision: never let Haiquan Fang leave!

"value": "Chapter 182 - Phoenix Break\nAs the Star Scorching Demon Lotus’ flame slowly extinguished, more than two hundred Stone Dragon Warriors were charred as they broke and fell into pieces along with their weapons. Peace returned to the area once again as only Yun Che’s heavy gasps for breath and the “drip” sounds from the fall of his sweat and blood could be heard.\nWith a “boom”, the heavy sword fell onto the ground. With great effort, Yun Che straightened his back to allow Little Fairy to lean on his shoulder. “Are you alright? Are you injured?”\nLittle Fairy was unharmed. Let alone injured, those creatures couldn’t even touch her. Looking at Yun Che’s pale face, she knew clearly that if it hadn’t been for Yun Che protecting her, he wouldn’t have been injured at all, and the two hundred or more Stone Dragon Warriors from before wouldn’t have almost pushed him to the edge.\nYun Che’s left hand was in unbearable pain. Although he could barely embrace Little Fairy, wielding the heavy sword was already impossible. He shook his head and laughed effortlessly, “I’m fine, their blades are made of stones and are blunt. I’d only received some superficial injuries.”\n“Let me go… or else… you will die!” Little Fairy’s voice was cold and weak. Although her body was crippled and her aura was weak, her five senses were fine. The sound of the three swords cutting into bone had rang by her ears just now, so how could she not have heard it clearly?\nAfter popping an Intermediate Profound Recovering Pellet into his mouth, he reached for some ointment and spread it across his wounds on his left arm. Without the body strengthening from the Great Way of the Buddha, his left arm would’ve definitely been chopped into pieces. Upon hearing what Little Fairy had said, he shook his head. “Unless I’m dead, I will never abandon you. Don’t think yourself as a burden. In this situation, the will to protect you is my greatest motivation to move on. Besides, haven’t we already managed to pass? This trial’s first stage, we should have already……”\nBefore he finish his sentenced, a large wave of Stone Dragon Warriors.... larger than the one previously, appeared after a bright flash of yellow light.\nDragon God Trial’s first stage, ninth wave…… five hundred and twelve Stone Dragon Warriors!!\nYun Che’s voice stopped there, as he was unable to continue saying a single word. His hand pointing downwards, he grabbed at the heavy sword’s hilt, pulling the heavy sword that had sunk in from the ground again.\nWithin his line of sight, there were twice the number of Stone Dragon Warriors as before, and there were even more than the total of the previous eight waves……. If this wasn’t a delusion, then it was a nightmare; a well and true nightmare.\nAmongst these Stone Dragon Warriors, the ones in front held broadswords, swords, and spears, while those at the back no longer wielded meteor hammers. What they held in their hands were obviously especially massive longbows!\nStone Dragon Archers!\nBows and arrows that could shoot further and were a bigger menace than the meteor hammer!\n“.....Little Fairy, can you tell me….. your name, now?” Yun Che asked as he embraced Little Fairy, supported himself up with the heavy sword, and watched the streaming group of Stone Dragon Warriors closed in.\nThe surrounding noises informed Little Fairy of the unfavourable situation they were currently in. She had already lost track of how many years it had been, but she had never revealed her name to outsiders, let alone to a junior. But at that moment, when hearing Yun Che’s voice, she couldn’t muster the strength to reject him no matter what. Within the footsteps that cause the ground to shudder, her weak voice slowly spread:\n“Chu….. Yue….. Chan…..”\n“Chu Yuechan….” Yun Che recited softly. Then, he started smiling, “Chu —— Lovely and moving, Yue —— The beautiful and bright moon in the sky, Chan —— A beautiful woman, a beauty that resides in the moon, lovely and touching. In this world, there is no other name that suits you more. I’ve always been calling you Little Fairy, and I have not been calling you wrongly at all….. So in future, I shall still continue to call you Little Fairy.”\n“Now that it has reached to this point, I’m already unable to tell if this is a trial or a completely unsurpassable trap.” Yun Che lifted the heavy sword, and pointed it at the Stone Dragon Warriors that had reached a distance within fifteen meters from them, “But, whether it’s me or you, we can’t die for nothing here….. I won’t die, nor will I let you die……. So, you’ll have to use your strength to… give me strength!!”\n“Haah!!!!”\nWith a loud roar, Yun Che’s aura went berserk in a split second; his gaze grew extremely blood-thirsty and the blood in his body frantically boiled. His spirit, willpower, conviction, and soul also seemed to come ablaze all at once….. In these two lives, the number of dangerous situations he’d encountered had been too many to count; the number of impossible situations, had also been far too many. But the formation in front of his eyes that made men despair, made his heart palpitate….. But the reason for this throbbing was all because of Little Fairy; throwing away the need to protect Little Fairy, a flame ignited in his heart with unexpected slivers of excitement.\nA sort of twisted excitement rose in his soul after encountering countless thrilling impasses...\n“Come as much as you want… No matter how many that come, I’ll kill them all!!”\nYun Che gave a low growl, and after releasing the “Star Scorching Demon Lotus”, a berserk energy that came from somewhere unknown, was produced once again from his originally exhausted body. He didn’t retreat. Rather, he hugged Little Fairy tight and rushed into the massive procession of Stone Dragon Warriors.\nBang!!\nIn a swoop, an entire four Stone Dragon Warriors were sent flying.\nBoom!!\nAnother strike, and five more Stone Dragon Warriors were chopped into ten segments, and even a section of Stone Dragon Warriors in the rear were knocked down.\nHe, who should clearly have been exhausted, was currently actually wielding his sword even faster than before, and his strength had actually grown more ferocious. His heavy sword was like the Death God’s scythe that did not stop rotating as it crazily reaped the lives of many Stone Dragon Warriors.\nThe current Yun Che, was just like an enraged lion rushing into a flock of sheep. Wherever he rushed to, large piles of carcasses would be left behind.\nThe skies were filled with piercing sounds and a large volley of arrows spread through the skies as a large range of arrows rained down.\nYun Che’s right arm was shot by three arrows.\nYun Che’s back was hit by another three arrows, and amongst them, one of these arrows dangerously hit the vital center of his back.\nReaching this sort of impossible situation and facing more than five hundred Stone Dragon Warriors, Yun Che made the most correct, as well as the most crazy decision; that was to concentrate mostly on his attack, and as for defense, it basically stopped at Little Fairy. Because the faster he killed, the less pressure there would be. Traveling through the enemy ranks, he crazily chopped and cleared the Stone Dragon Warriors like a hurricane rushing through fallen leaves. The sounds of roars, crashes and explosions were ear-splitting, yet they never ceased.\nBefore two minutes had even passed, Yun Che had already been hit by twelve arrows, pierced by twelve spears, and hacked at by nine swords and thirteen blades at his back, shoulder and chest. More and more wounds opened up, and following his violent actions, these wounds no longer just bled, but were continually gushing blood. Horrifyingly, his shirt had long been completely dyed red by his blood.\nThe greatest threat to Yun Che was undoubtedly the Stone Dragon Archers in the rear. The wounds on Yun Che’s body were mostly the outcome of trying to escape lethal attacks from the arrows. These Stone Dragon Archers were also the most critical targets to be killed. However, there were layers after layers of Stone Dragon Warriors, and he was inhibited from directly rushing to the Stone Dragon Archers. Out of all the profound skills he had, the one that could attack the furthest, was the Sky Wolf Slash... but the Sky Wolf Slash’s consumption was far too large. If he really used it, he would be completely spent through and through.\nHe had to dispose of these Stone Dragon Archers. If he didn’t, and continued to get injured this way, he would die before killing all the Stone Dragon Warriors here…..\nFixating his gaze on the Stone Dragon Warriors outside, Yun Che’s gaze grew more and more solemn. On the surface of his body, a ring of fire began to rise and burn. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the flames on his body all rushed towards his heavy sword. Following which, along with the brandishing of his heavy sword, the fire was flung out far away.\nIn its wake, a resonant phoenix cry sounded and an enormous blazing phoenix flew from Yun Che’s heavy sword. Passing through the Stone Dragon Warriors’ carcasses, it fell sixty five meters away in the middle of the pack of Stone Dragon Archers, and then exploded; in the rocketing blaze, a dozen or so Stone Dragon Archers were sent exploding into the sky as their bodies smashed into powder in midair.\n“He….. He went as far as to merge the World Ode of the Phoenix’s residual formula into the Prison God Sirius’ Tome’s fundamental formula… to give rise to a profound skill that combines the heavy sword with phoenix fire!” Jasmine blurted out in surprise from within the Sky Poison Pearl, and then mumbled, “To actually combine the two divine arts that normal people might never be able to fully grasp in their lifetimes, and to do so in under this nearly impossible situation, and to be successful on the first try… How much of a monstrous perception does he possess!!”\n“Phoenix Break!”\nThe Phoenix Break was a large-scale burning attack that was no different than the Star Scorching Demon Lotus. Although it had a much smaller range, it could attack from a long distance and its consumption was much less in comparison. The corners of Yun Che’s mouth lifted. A wave of energy that came from who knows where, yet again welled up throughout his body and ignited the brandished heavy sword. He flung out a blazing phoenix that gave off a low cry one after another. These blazing phoenixes rushed close to the Stone Dragon Warrior’s body and flew to the Stone Dragon Archers far away, exterminating wave after wave of Stone Dragon Archers that were originally already not many in number.\nAs the injuries on his body grew more and more severe, the blood that had flowed out from his body had unknowingly become a third of the total amount of blood in his body. His clothes had been completely dyed and a large portion of Little Fairy’s clothes were also dyed red, yet his expression was terrifyingly calm. His movements were still fierce and it was as if he completely did not feel any pain, let alone know that his body had already sustained so many horrifying injuries.\nHim squeezing out his life, was also squeezing at his limits. Where his limit was located… perhaps even he himself did not know."

第182章
焚星妖莲的火逐渐熄灭，两百多个岩龙战士连同它们的武器全部被烧成焦黑色，然后在破碎中倒下。 周围再度恢复了平静，只能听到云澈粗重的喘息声，以及汗珠和血液落在地上时的轻微“滴答”声。
重剑在“轰”的一声中倒在了地上，云澈费力的直起身来，让小仙女重新依在自己肩膀上：“你没事吧？ 有没有伤到你？”
小仙女完好无损，别说受伤，就连碰都没有被碰到一下。 看着云澈苍白的脸色，她清楚的知道，如果云澈不是为了保护她，身上根本不会受伤，刚才的两百多个岩龙战士，也不至于差点将他逼到绝境。
“你的……手……”小仙女动了动嘴唇，艰涩的道。 左手臂钻心的疼，虽可勉强抱住小仙女，但已根本不可能把持重剑。 他摇了摇头，一脸轻松的笑道：“没事。
她虽然身体｀｀残废，气息虚弱，但视觉和听觉并没有废掉。 刚才三把刀刃切入骨骼的声音，就响起在她的耳边，她又怎么会听不清楚。
你不要把自己当成累赘，因为在这个地方，你是我最大的动力和和唯一的意志支柱。 再说，我们不是已经挺过来了么。
云澈的话刚说过一半，他的周围，一大片……比上一波还要多一倍的岩龙战士在闪烁的黄光之中现出身形。
龙神试炼第一关，第九波……五百一十二个岩龙战士！
云澈的声音断在那里，再也无法继续说出一个字。 他的手向下，抓在了重剑的剑柄上，将陷入地面的重剑重新抓了起来。
视线之中，是比刚才多出一倍的岩龙战士，比之前八波加起来还要多……如果这不是幻觉，那么就是噩梦，真真正正的噩梦。
这些岩龙战士，前方的拿着刀、剑、枪，后方的则不再吊挂着流星锤，他们的手中，所持握的分明是看上去格外厚重的长弓！
岩龙射手！
比流星锤攻击距离更远，威胁更大的弓箭！
“……小仙女，你现在可以告诉我……你的名字吗？” 云澈抱着小仙女，扶着重剑站起，看着前方快速逼近，浩浩荡荡的岩龙战士群，轻声的问道。
周围的声音，告诉了小仙女他们此时的处境。 已经不知有多少年，她从不向外人透露自己的名字，更不要说一个后辈。
我一直称呼你小仙女，真是一点都没有叫错……所以以后，我还是继续喊你小仙女吧。”
“事到如今，我已经分不清这究竟是一场试炼，还是一个根本不可能逾越的陷阱。”
云澈的重剑举了起来，指向踏进五丈之内的岩龙战士：“但是，无论是我，还是你，都不能白白的死在这里……我不会死，更不会允许你死……所以，你要用力的……给我力量！ ！”
！ ！
！” 一声大吼，云澈身上的气息瞬间变得狂暴，眼神变得凶狠，全身血液疯狂沸腾，他的精神、意志、信念、灵魂也仿佛全部燃烧了起来……这两生，他遭遇的险境多不胜数，绝境，也很多很多，眼前这让人绝望的阵容让他心悸……但心悸的原因，完全是因为小仙女，抛开要护住小仙女这一点，他心中燃起来的，竟是丝丝的兴奋。
“尽管来吧……来多少，我就杀多少！
！”
云澈发出低沉的吼声，在释放“焚星妖莲”后本该枯竭的身体，不知从哪里又生出狂暴的力量，他没有后退，反而抱紧小仙女，一头扎进去了浩浩荡荡的岩龙战士队伍中。
砰！
一剑，整整四个岩龙战士被扫飞。
轰！
一剑，又是五个岩龙战士被砸成十段，就连后方的岩龙战士也撞倒一片。
明明应该力竭的他，此时挥剑的速度却更加的迅速，力道更加的凶猛。 他的重剑就如不断旋转的死神镰刀，疯狂的收割着一片片岩龙战士的生命。 天毒珠中的茉莉一阵惊讶。
此时的云澈，就如一头暴怒的雄狮冲入了羊群之中，他冲到哪里，哪里就会留下大堆破碎的尸体。
漫天的破空声响起，一大箭矢齐射而至，形成一片大范围的箭雨。
云澈的右肩中了三箭。
云澈的后背又连中三箭，其中一箭险些触及后心要害。
到了这种绝境，面对五百多个岩龙战士，云澈做出了最正确，也最疯狂的选择，那就是将绝大部分的意念，都集中在了攻击上，防御方面，基本只停留在小仙女身上。 因为他杀的越快，压力才会越小。
不到两分钟的时间，云澈已经是身中十二箭，被刺了十二枪，砍了九剑十三刀，后背、肩膀、前胸，多了一个又一个的血洞，随着他剧烈的动作，这些血洞已不仅仅是流血，而是不断的喷着血液，触目惊心，全身的衣服，也早已被鲜血完全染红。
对云澈威胁最大的。 无疑是那些后方的岩龙射手。
他所拥有的玄技之中，能做到远距离伤害的，也只有天狼斩……但天狼斩的消耗实在太大，他若真的实用，就彻底的油尽灯枯了。
目光锁定着外围的岩龙射手，云澈的眼神越来越低沉，身体的表面，也缓缓升腾起一圈燃烧的火焰。 忽而，他的目光猛的一闪，全身的火焰全部涌到了重剑之上，然后随着重剑的挥舞远远的甩出。
随着一声嘹亮的凤鸣，一个巨大的火焰凤凰从云澈的重剑上飞射而出，穿过一个个岩龙战士的躯体，落入二十丈之外的岩龙射手群中，然后轰然爆开，冲天的火光之中，十几个岩龙射手被远远炸飞，身体在半空中变得粉碎。
“竟然……竟然将凤凰颂世典的残诀，融入到了天狼狱神典的总诀之中……衍生出重剑与凤凰之炎结合的玄技！” 天毒珠中的茉莉失口惊呼，然后一声呢喃：“竟然能将这两种寻常人可能一辈子都无法参透的神诀结合，还是在这种近乎绝境的状态之下，还一次成功……这到底是多么妖孽的悟性！ ！”
“凤凰破！”
比起焚星妖莲大范围无差别焚灭攻击，凤凰破范围小上很多，但可以定位远程攻击，而且消耗相比之下要小很多很多。 云澈嘴角咧起，全身又一次涌起一股不知从何处而来的力量，燃火的重剑在挥舞之中，甩出一只又一只低鸣的火焰凤凰，这些火焰凤凰冲断近身岩龙战士的身体，飞向远处的岩龙射手，将本就数量不多的岩龙射手片片轰灭。 他身上的伤越来越重，流出的鲜血，不知不觉已临近全身血液的三分之一。
他的衣服被染透，小仙女的衣服也被染红一大半，但他的脸色沉静的可怕，动作依旧凶猛，仿佛根本感觉不到痛，甚至不知道自己身上已经受到了多么可怕的创伤。
他的压榨自己的生命，也压榨着自己的极限。 他的极限在哪里……或许连他自己都不知道。

Chapter 182 - Phoenix Break
As the Star Scorching Demon Lotus’ flame slowly extinguished, more than two hundred Stone Dragon Warriors were charred as they broke and fell into pieces along with their weapons. Peace returned to the area once again as only Yun Che’s heavy gasps for breath and the “drip” sounds from the fall of his sweat and blood could be heard.
With a “boom”, the heavy sword fell onto the ground. With great effort, Yun Che straightened his back to allow Little Fairy to lean on his shoulder. “Are you alright? Are you injured?”
Little Fairy was unharmed. Let alone injured, those creatures couldn’t even touch her. Looking at Yun Che’s pale face, she knew clearly that if it hadn’t been for Yun Che protecting her, he wouldn’t have been injured at all, and the two hundred or more Stone Dragon Warriors from before wouldn’t have almost pushed him to the edge.
Yun Che’s left hand was in unbearable pain. Although he could barely embrace Little Fairy, wielding the heavy sword was already impossible. He shook his head and laughed effortlessly, “I’m fine, their blades are made of stones and are blunt. I’d only received some superficial injuries.”
“Let me go… or else… you will die!” Little Fairy’s voice was cold and weak. Although her body was crippled and her aura was weak, her five senses were fine. The sound of the three swords cutting into bone had rang by her ears just now, so how could she not have heard it clearly?
After popping an Intermediate Profound Recovering Pellet into his mouth, he reached for some ointment and spread it across his wounds on his left arm. Without the body strengthening from the Great Way of the Buddha, his left arm would’ve definitely been chopped into pieces. Upon hearing what Little Fairy had said, he shook his head. “Unless I’m dead, I will never abandon you. Don’t think yourself as a burden. In this situation, the will to protect you is my greatest motivation to move on. Besides, haven’t we already managed to pass? This trial’s first stage, we should have already……”
Before he finish his sentenced, a large wave of Stone Dragon Warriors.... larger than the one previously, appeared after a bright flash of yellow light.
Dragon God Trial’s first stage, ninth wave…… five hundred and twelve Stone Dragon Warriors!!
Yun Che’s voice stopped there, as he was unable to continue saying a single word. His hand pointing downwards, he grabbed at the heavy sword’s hilt, pulling the heavy sword that had sunk in from the ground again.
Within his line of sight, there were twice the number of Stone Dragon Warriors as before, and there were even more than the total of the previous eight waves……. If this wasn’t a delusion, then it was a nightmare; a well and true nightmare.
Amongst these Stone Dragon Warriors, the ones in front held broadswords, swords, and spears, while those at the back no longer wielded meteor hammers. What they held in their hands were obviously especially massive longbows!
Stone Dragon Archers!
Bows and arrows that could shoot further and were a bigger menace than the meteor hammer!
“.....Little Fairy, can you tell me….. your name, now?” Yun Che asked as he embraced Little Fairy, supported himself up with the heavy sword, and watched the streaming group of Stone Dragon Warriors closed in.
The surrounding noises informed Little Fairy of the unfavourable situation they were currently in. She had already lost track of how many years it had been, but she had never revealed her name to outsiders, let alone to a junior. But at that moment, when hearing Yun Che’s voice, she couldn’t muster the strength to reject him no matter what. Within the footsteps that cause the ground to shudder, her weak voice slowly spread:
“Chu….. Yue….. Chan…..”
“Chu Yuechan….” Yun Che recited softly. Then, he started smiling, “Chu —— Lovely and moving, Yue —— The beautiful and bright moon in the sky, Chan —— A beautiful woman, a beauty that resides in the moon, lovely and touching. In this world, there is no other name that suits you more. I’ve always been calling you Little Fairy, and I have not been calling you wrongly at all….. So in future, I shall still continue to call you Little Fairy.”
“Now that it has reached to this point, I’m already unable to tell if this is a trial or a completely unsurpassable trap.” Yun Che lifted the heavy sword, and pointed it at the Stone Dragon Warriors that had reached a distance within fifteen meters from them, “But, whether it’s me or you, we can’t die for nothing here….. I won’t die, nor will I let you die……. So, you’ll have to use your strength to… give me strength!!”
“Haah!!!!”
With a loud roar, Yun Che’s aura went berserk in a split second; his gaze grew extremely blood-thirsty and the blood in his body frantically boiled. His spirit, willpower, conviction, and soul also seemed to come ablaze all at once….. In these two lives, the number of dangerous situations he’d encountered had been too many to count; the number of impossible situations, had also been far too many. But the formation in front of his eyes that made men despair, made his heart palpitate….. But the reason for this throbbing was all because of Little Fairy; throwing away the need to protect Little Fairy, a flame ignited in his heart with unexpected slivers of excitement.
A sort of twisted excitement rose in his soul after encountering countless thrilling impasses...
“Come as much as you want… No matter how many that come, I’ll kill them all!!”
Yun Che gave a low growl, and after releasing the “Star Scorching Demon Lotus”, a berserk energy that came from somewhere unknown, was produced once again from his originally exhausted body. He didn’t retreat. Rather, he hugged Little Fairy tight and rushed into the massive procession of Stone Dragon Warriors.
Bang!!
In a swoop, an entire four Stone Dragon Warriors were sent flying.
Boom!!
Another strike, and five more Stone Dragon Warriors were chopped into ten segments, and even a section of Stone Dragon Warriors in the rear were knocked down.
He, who should clearly have been exhausted, was currently actually wielding his sword even faster than before, and his strength had actually grown more ferocious. His heavy sword was like the Death God’s scythe that did not stop rotating as it crazily reaped the lives of many Stone Dragon Warriors.
The current Yun Che, was just like an enraged lion rushing into a flock of sheep. Wherever he rushed to, large piles of carcasses would be left behind.
The skies were filled with piercing sounds and a large volley of arrows spread through the skies as a large range of arrows rained down.
Yun Che’s right arm was shot by three arrows.
Yun Che’s back was hit by another three arrows, and amongst them, one of these arrows dangerously hit the vital center of his back.
Reaching this sort of impossible situation and facing more than five hundred Stone Dragon Warriors, Yun Che made the most correct, as well as the most crazy decision; that was to concentrate mostly on his attack, and as for defense, it basically stopped at Little Fairy. Because the faster he killed, the less pressure there would be. Traveling through the enemy ranks, he crazily chopped and cleared the Stone Dragon Warriors like a hurricane rushing through fallen leaves. The sounds of roars, crashes and explosions were ear-splitting, yet they never ceased.
Before two minutes had even passed, Yun Che had already been hit by twelve arrows, pierced by twelve spears, and hacked at by nine swords and thirteen blades at his back, shoulder and chest. More and more wounds opened up, and following his violent actions, these wounds no longer just bled, but were continually gushing blood. Horrifyingly, his shirt had long been completely dyed red by his blood.
The greatest threat to Yun Che was undoubtedly the Stone Dragon Archers in the rear. The wounds on Yun Che’s body were mostly the outcome of trying to escape lethal attacks from the arrows. These Stone Dragon Archers were also the most critical targets to be killed. However, there were layers after layers of Stone Dragon Warriors, and he was inhibited from directly rushing to the Stone Dragon Archers. Out of all the profound skills he had, the one that could attack the furthest, was the Sky Wolf Slash... but the Sky Wolf Slash’s consumption was far too large. If he really used it, he would be completely spent through and through.
He had to dispose of these Stone Dragon Archers. If he didn’t, and continued to get injured this way, he would die before killing all the Stone Dragon Warriors here…..
Fixating his gaze on the Stone Dragon Warriors outside, Yun Che’s gaze grew more and more solemn. On the surface of his body, a ring of fire began to rise and burn. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the flames on his body all rushed towards his heavy sword. Following which, along with the brandishing of his heavy sword, the fire was flung out far away.
In its wake, a resonant phoenix cry sounded and an enormous blazing phoenix flew from Yun Che’s heavy sword. Passing through the Stone Dragon Warriors’ carcasses, it fell sixty five meters away in the middle of the pack of Stone Dragon Archers, and then exploded; in the rocketing blaze, a dozen or so Stone Dragon Archers were sent exploding into the sky as their bodies smashed into powder in midair.
“He….. He went as far as to merge the World Ode of the Phoenix’s residual formula into the Prison God Sirius’ Tome’s fundamental formula… to give rise to a profound skill that combines the heavy sword with phoenix fire!” Jasmine blurted out in surprise from within the Sky Poison Pearl, and then mumbled, “To actually combine the two divine arts that normal people might never be able to fully grasp in their lifetimes, and to do so in under this nearly impossible situation, and to be successful on the first try… How much of a monstrous perception does he possess!!”
“Phoenix Break!”
The Phoenix Break was a large-scale burning attack that was no different than the Star Scorching Demon Lotus. Although it had a much smaller range, it could attack from a long distance and its consumption was much less in comparison. The corners of Yun Che’s mouth lifted. A wave of energy that came from who knows where, yet again welled up throughout his body and ignited the brandished heavy sword. He flung out a blazing phoenix that gave off a low cry one after another. These blazing phoenixes rushed close to the Stone Dragon Warrior’s body and flew to the Stone Dragon Archers far away, exterminating wave after wave of Stone Dragon Archers that were originally already not many in number.
As the injuries on his body grew more and more severe, the blood that had flowed out from his body had unknowingly become a third of the total amount of blood in his body. His clothes had been completely dyed and a large portion of Little Fairy’s clothes were also dyed red, yet his expression was terrifyingly calm. His movements were still fierce and it was as if he completely did not feel any pain, let alone know that his body had already sustained so many horrifying injuries.
Him squeezing out his life, was also squeezing at his limits. Where his limit was located… perhaps even he himself did not know.

"value": "As the sky turned dark, the dining table in the villa was filled with a variety of plates and bowls. Since Guo Xuehua came from the north of the country while Wang Ma cooked southern dishes, there was a healthy mix of dishes that were prepared.\nBecause most of them weren’t big fans of alcohol, they immediately started digging in upon sitting down.\n“Brother Yang, let’s set off the fireworks we bought,” Hui Lin suddenly said during the meal while she looked at Yang Chen with high hopes.\nYang Chen who was currently chewing on a chicken drumstick, lifted and waved his hand as he mumbled, “What time is it now? Why not we finish diner first. Aren’t there new year's galas later? We’ll set off the fireworks after that.”\n“But aren’t we supposed to watch the TV after the new year's gala?” Even Zhenxiu started talking during the meal after breaking out of the awkward barrier of non-familiarity.\nYang Chen giggled. “Fine, we shall wait till the boring program is finished before we go out to set off the fireworks.”\nGuo Xuehua and Wang Ma looked at each other, then glanced at Yang Chen who appeared to be the king of the children before laughing.\nLin Ruoxi on the other hand was silently eating as usual. She didn’t appear too excited even during a cheerful new-year night. However, she would pinch some meat and vegetables for Zhenxiu once in a while.\nZhenxiu was rather embarrassed. It was understandable for Lin Ruoxi to serve her husband or mother-in-law, but pinching vegetables for an outsider was not something that happened normally. However, Zhenxiu really appreciated the love she was shown in the house.\nBefore they even finished their meal, the new year's gala started playing on television. After the opening dance performance, the hosts of the event introduced themselves one after another.\nHui Lin hadn’t had a chance to watch such a TV program in the past. Thus, she paid lots of attention on the television. She suddenly noticed a familiar logo on the stage. It was the logo of Yu Lei International!\n“Elder Sister, why is your company logo there? Is this event sponsored by Yu Lei?” Hui Lin asked excitedly.\nLin Ruoxi nodded slightly. “We have been sponsors of the event before, some two years ago. But we’re spending a lot more this year. The new material will launch in the market soon, so we must raise our reputation significantly throughout the country.”\nWhen Lin Ruoxi talked about work, pride and resolution could be seen on her cold face, causing the people who were listening feel interested.\n“My daughter-in-law is such an independent woman. How impressive,” Guo Xuehua praised with a smile.\n“Yeah, yeah, I look up to Elder Sister so much for being able to manage such a large company. I get headaches just by thinking of it,” Hui Lin said honestly.\nLin Ruoxi wasn’t humble when it came to her work. Why should she be? She had been working so hard all these years just to prove her value in addition to keeping the pride of her late grandmother.\n“I want to take over around ten more factories this year and more than two thousand acres of industrial lands. When that happens, Yu Lei would be truly left with no competitors in the country,” Lin Ruoxi said confidently.\n“Miss, don’t say frightening things like this during Chinese New Year. It’s really horrifying to imagine the scale,” Wang Ma said with a smile as she patted her chest.\n“I find one acre of land very huge already,” Zhenxiu said before pouting.\nLin Ruoxi suddenly noticed she was at home as opposed to facing the senior managers in her company. She couldn’t help but blush. She just couldn’t refrain herself from talking about work like this.”\nYang Chen was secretly smiling beside heer. It was certainly hard for a housewife like Wang Ma to imagine the scale. What Lin Ruoxi usually did in her company, was alien to Wang Ma’s comprehension. Perhaps this was the reason why Lin Ruoxi behaved so differently from the ladies of her age.\nQuietly, Yang Chen leaned forward to Lin Ruoxi and whispered, “I hope no one will come here to seek revenge in the future after you destroy more families.”\nLin Ruoxi knew that Yang Chen was referring to what had taken place at Yuping Garment earlier. Frowning, she said, “I do what I must. I need more labor in order to expand. I can’t stay put doing nothing just to avoid some sad people.”\n“You’re right as well. I’m just saying you should bring your husband out in the future when you inspect factories or something,” Yang Chen said with a smile.\nLin Ruoxi rolled her eyes, but felt comforted by his simple words.She felt glad as she could finally feel like there was someone she could rely on.\nAfter a while, Wang Ma carried a few plates of boiling-hot dumplings from the kitchen. Although some of them looked damaged, they appeared to be rather fresh in general.\n“Let’s eat some dumplings. Young Master, please don’t buy so many dumplings anymore in the future. We have more than we can eat,” Wang Ma complained.\nLin Ruoxi pouted. “Wang Ma, we told you we didn’t buy them. A restaurant gave them out for free after Yang Chen took part in their competition.”\n“What competition is it? Why did they give out dumplings?” Guo Xuehua asked out of curiosity.\nYang Chen smiled embarrassingly before explaining what had happened outside the dumpling restaurant. When the ladies heard that he had swallowed 88 dumplings, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.\n“Stop eating like this. What if your stomach gets sick after that?” Guo Xuehua advised.\nYang Chen didn’t bother explaining he merely wanted to win the doll for Lin Ruoxi. “I won’t do it next time.”\nLin Ruoxi naturally wouldn’t tell them Yang Chen had noticed that she had taken a liking towards the dumpling doll as she felt shy. She couldn’t help but feel warm inside when Yang Chen decided to keep quiet because he didn’t want Guo Xuehua to blame her for it.\nAfter dinner, Yang Chen obeyed Hui Lin by setting off all the fireworks he bought. When he was done, New Year’s Eve could finally be wrapped. The women were as tired as they were content, they had worked really hard cooking after all.\nOne by one, they left for their rooms. Yang Chen also switched off the television before returning to his room on the second floor.\nUpon entering his room, he took his phone out and sent a message to Lin Ruoxi.\nLin Ruoxi walked out from the bathroom wearing a thin white bathrobe as she had just showered. She was surprised to receive a text this late at night.\nShe was even more shocked when she found out it was from Yang Chen, as he had never sent her a text before, let alone during this hour at home.\n‘Come to the rooftop.’\nYang Chen only sent four words.\nLin Ruoxi wrinkled her brows slightly. This message was sent a minute ago, which meant Yang Chen had expected her now.\nThere was an empty rooftop, west of the villa. There were only a few flower pots there, so she didn’t usually visit the place.\nShould I go or not? Lin Ruoxi bit her lips. She didn’t take long to decide, and walked to the changing space in her room. She wore simple thermal underwear before putting on a light orange marten coat. This was to protect her from the chill that came with the night.\nAlthough she didn’t know what he was up to, she was quite sure that he wouldn’t force her into doing anything.\nLin Ruoxi contemplated in worry, but still walked out of the room. She didn’t make too much noise while walking upstairs, so nobody was awakened.\nWhen she reached the rooftop, she felt a sharp pain on her face after it was blown by the cold wind of the night. Lin Ruoxi tightened her coat, while her black hair was blown messy. Her goddess-like, charming face appeared particularly touching, like a flower which was blooming in the night.\nLin Ruoxi blurrily widened her eyes, only to see a familiar figure standing near the railing far away, waiting for her arrival.\n“What do you need?” Lin Ruoxi asked softly after approaching him. She was rather nervous, as it was her first time standing on the rooftop with Yang Chen alone at night.\nYang Chen didn’t turn around. He replied, “Look, look at Zhonghai City over in the distance. The lights tonight appear much brighter than before.”\nLin Ruoxi walked near the railing as she rubbed her hands together to fight the cold. “Really? I can’t tell the difference.”\n“That’s because you exhaust yourself working like a dog day in day out. You don’t see the things boring people would, to experience the world from their eyes,” Yang Chen said with a smile.\n“Why do you still look if it’s boring?” Lin Ruoxi frowned.\n“The view, yes it may seem boring, but when you have something to watch it with, it doesn’t really matter what you’re looking at,” Yang Chen said as he turned his head back before smiling mysteriously at Lin Ruoxi.\nLin Ruoxi got nervous upon being stared at. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”\n“Wife, would you let me hug you?” Yang Chen suddenly asked.\nLin Ruoxi’s cheeks blushed. She stared at him angrily and said, “Lame. If this is all you want, i’m going back to sleep.”\n“If you don’t let me hug you, I’ll jump down from this third floor,” Yang Chen said.\nLin Ruoxi pouted. “Do it. You always love to show your capabilities.”\n“I’m really going to jump.” Yang Chen looked serious.\nLin Ruoxi ignored him and turned around before leaving.\nSuddenly, she heard a few thuds from behind. The sound of the wind soon echoed, as if someone had disappeared!\nHas he really jumped?!\nLin Ruoxi’s heart violently contracted. She quickly turned around. Expectedly, Yang Chen’s figure was nowhere to be found!\n“Yang Chen!” Lin Ruoxi shouted subconsciously. She ran to the railing again and looked downward. Suddenly, a silhouette shot up from beneath!\nWhen Yang Chen jumped down earlier, he held onto the edge of the railing with one of his arms. He lifted himself back onto the platform. This was an act people considered impossible, but to Yang Chen, Jumping from the third floor and back up was child’s play.\nLin Ruoxi panicked after getting frightened. She felt her vision blur, but Yang Chen soon appeared in front of her again, unharmed with a smile. “You…”\nLin Ruoxi almost cried from the shock. She wanted to scold him furiously, but before she could open her mouth, she failed to say a single word.\nThat was because Yang Chen had widened his arms and hugged her boneless-like, soft body.\nLin Ruoxi’s big, watery eyes opened widely. She felt a pressure in her heart, while a familiar scent could be detected through her nose. Soon, her mind went completely blank.\nShe was still hugged at last, after getting tricked to come back.\nDong! Dong! Sounds of large bells echoed from the direction of Zhonghai City.\nIs it the sound of the bell from the city?\nLin Ruoxi quickly understood why Yang Chen asked her to come upstairs. She involuntarily reached her arms toward Yang Chen’s back and hugged him at his waist. Although it was a light movement, it was a hug, true in every way, shape and form.\nYang Chen’s voice became blurry near the end, because fireworks were set off in the distance from numerous other houses.\nThe colorful and brilliant fireworks filled the sky, deafening sounds of explosion rang throughout the clouds.\nThe light coming from the gorgeous fire was a peaceful and gentle moment of the two."

天色入夜的时候，别墅内的餐桌上，已经放满了琳琅满目的食物，因为郭雪华是北方人，而王妈做的是南方菜，所以今晚的菜色格外丰盛。 .*。
因为在场的人都不怎么喝酒，所以晚饭直接就开始真刀真枪干了起来。
“杨大哥，我们放烟火吧”，吃着年夜饭，慧琳突然满是期待地眨巴眼说。
杨辰正啃着一只鸡腿，挥挥手，嘟囔道：“这都才几点，先吃饭不还有什么联欢晚会么，等那晚会放了我们再放烟火。”
“可放了晚会，不是就该看电视么？” 贞秀与几人熟络起来，也会在餐桌边说话了。
杨辰嘿嘿笑道：“等晚会不好看的节目出来，我们就看烟火去。”
郭雪华与王妈对视了一眼，看着孩子王一样的杨辰，笑了起来。
林若溪倒是一如既往地安静吃菜，就算是心情愉快的一个除夕夜，她也没表现得多么兴奋，只是时不时会帮贞秀夹一筷子菜。
贞秀有些不好意思，按理说林若溪给丈夫、婆婆夹菜还能理解，给自己这个外人夹菜，她总觉得怪怪的，但受到这个家里每个人疼爱的感觉，贞秀却是极为珍惜。
还没等饭吃完，春节联欢晚会就在电视上开始了，开场的舞蹈过后，节目主持人一一亮相。
慧琳以前没什么机会看春晚，倒看得认真，眼尖的她，突然发现，春晚的副舞台上，两个主持人所坐的那个位置前方，赫然有一个熟悉的标志性商标，竟是玉蕾的图案！
“姐姐，怎么是你公司的商标？ 难道今年春晚还是玉蕾赞助的？” 慧琳兴奋地问道。
林若溪点点头，“前两年也有赞助一些，不过今年花的钱更多罢了。 今年是很重要的一年，新材料制造的产品就要上市了。
看着林若溪说起工作事，冷清的面容上满是骄傲与奋斗的火苗，众人觉得颇为有趣。
“我的儿媳妇儿还是个女强人，真是了不起呢”，郭雪华笑着说。
“是啊是啊，我觉得姐姐能管理这么大的公司，好厉害，我想想都头疼了”，慧琳发自真心地说。
林若溪倒没在这方面客气，这些年一直那么勤恳地工作，就是为了证明自己的价值，不会让死去的奶奶蒙羞。
“今年我要再收购十家左右的工厂，买两千多亩工业用地，到时候，玉蕾在国内就真正的没有任何竞争对手了”，林若溪自信地说道。
“姐，大过年的，就别说这种怪吓人的话了，两千多亩，十几个工厂，这多吓人啊”，王妈拍拍胸口，笑着说。
“我觉得一亩地都挺大的了”，贞秀嘟囔着说。
林若溪顿时发觉自己是在家里，而不是面对公司里那些部长高层，不由红了下脸，每当说起工作的事，总有些控制不住。
杨辰在旁暗笑，像王妈这样的家庭主妇，的确很难想像，林若溪平日里干的事情多么遥不可及，或许正是因为那样，林若溪才显得与同龄的女性大有不同吧。
悄悄的，杨辰凑林若溪耳边道：“别到时候又有人来寻仇，说你害了人家家破人亡啥的”。
林若溪知道杨辰说的是上次玉平制衣的事件，蹙了蹙眉头，“该做的还是得做，我需要扩张，我需要更多的劳动力，总不能担心别人报复我，我就什么也不做。”
“也是，就是想说，以后去工厂巡查什么的，带着你老公我就好”，杨辰笑着道。
林若溪白了他一眼，心里却是踏实了几分，这或许就是有个依靠的感觉。
不一会儿，王妈从厨房里端出来好几盘饺子，虽然有些残缺的，但大致看上去都还挺新鲜。
“来来，吃饺子了，我说姐姑爷，你们以后就别买这么多饺子了，吃不完带回来也嫌多啊”，王妈微微抱怨说。
林若溪嘟了嘟嘴，“王妈，都说了不是我们买的，是杨辰参加一个比赛，店家送的。”
还送饺子？” 郭雪华好奇地道。
杨辰尴尬地一笑，将那天在饺子店门口的大胃王比赛说了下，当郭雪华等女人听到杨辰吃了“八十八”个饺子后，差点没下巴掉下来。
“以后不准这么吃了，吃坏了肚子怎么办？” 郭雪华满是疼惜，几分埋怨。
杨辰也不说主要为了给林若溪赢个布偶，随口道：“下次不会了。”
林若溪自然也不好意思说自己喜欢那个布娃娃被杨辰发现的事，见杨辰不说出来，知道他不想让郭雪华怪责自己，不由心里暖暖的。
吃完饭，杨辰按照慧琳的意思把烟火全部放完，算是除夕夜的节目结束了。 几个女人也都累了，毕竟是忙碌了一天，做了一大桌子饭菜，即便很开心，总归会疲倦。
等几人陆陆续续上楼休息，看完了春晚的杨辰，也就关了电视，走回二楼的房间里。
刚进屋子，杨辰就掏出手机，给林若溪发了一个短信。
林若溪刚洗完澡，从浴室里出来，披着件轻薄的白色浴袍，看到这么晚还有人给自己发短信，不由愣了下。
当看到是杨辰发的，林若溪更是呆滞了片刻，毕竟杨辰还没给自己发过短信，更别说是家里，还是快睡觉的时候。
“来楼顶吧”。
杨辰只发了四个字。
林若溪蹙了蹙黛眉，时间是刚一分钟前，也就是此刻杨辰让自己去别墅的楼顶。
别墅的东面是一块空的天台，平日里只放了些花草，倒是不怎么过去。
林若溪咬了咬唇瓣，没想片刻，便走进卧室里间的更衣室，换了身简单的保暖内衣，又套了一件浅棕色的貂裘大衣，这样也就不怕外面的寒风了。
虽然不知道那家伙这么晚要搞什么鬼，但借他一个胆子也不敢硬来什么吧。
林若溪忐忑地想着，却还是忍不住走出房间，脚步清柔地走到了天台上，没惊动其他人。
一走到天台上头，夜晚的寒风吹地脸蛋生疼，林若溪紧了紧大衣，一头乌黑的发丝在风中被吹地凌乱飞扬，清丽若仙的面庞显得格外惹人疼惜，宛若寂静的夜里绽放的昙花，美丽稍纵即逝。
林若溪迷糊地睁开眼仔细一看，一个熟悉的背影果然已经站在栏杆处，眺望着远方等着自己。
“什么事？” 林若溪走上前去，清声问了句，心里有些紧张，毕竟大晚上的两人在天台上幽会还是第一次。
杨辰也没转过身来，悠悠地道：“你看，那边就是中海市区，今晚的灯火，比以前都要明亮地多呢。”
林若溪走到栏杆处，双手搓着驱散些寒冷，“是么，我没看出来。”
“那是因为，你每天工作完就累得睡觉了，根本没心思和时间看这些无聊的人看的东西”，杨辰笑道。
“无聊你还看”，林若溪皱眉。
“看的东西是无聊的，但有个的人，看什么东西都是无所谓的”，杨辰转过头，对林若溪神秘地一笑。
林若溪被看地有些心慌慌，“不知道你在说什么。”
“老婆，让我抱抱你，好不好？” 突然，杨辰说道。
林若溪俏脸粉红，瞪了他一眼，“无聊，如果你想说的是这事，我回去睡觉了。”
“你不让我抱，我可就从这儿三楼跳下去了”，杨辰说。
林若溪撇了撇嘴，“你跳吧，就会耍这些无赖性子。”
“我真跳了啊”，杨辰一脸认真。
林若溪不理他，转身自顾自离去。
突然，听得后面几声响动，紧跟着，传来一破空声，像是有个人突然不见了！
？
林若溪心脏一阵猛缩，苍忙地转身，果然见不到杨辰的人影了！
“杨辰！” 林若溪心一阵低沉，失声大喊出来，跑到栏杆处，正要往下看去，却见一个人影猛地飞窜了起来！
杨辰刚才跳下楼去的时候，一手抓住了天台的边缘，此刻只不过用他的手臂力量将自己再提起来罢了，别人可能一辈子都做不到这种恐怖的高难度动作，但对杨辰来说，哪怕是从楼底跳上三楼，也不过眨眼的事。
林若溪刚一阵惊恐，又是一阵惊慌，再度眼前一花，杨辰已经又安然无事地力在自己跟前，笑吟吟地望着自己。
林若溪都快急哭了，正要骂上几句，却是还没说出口，便再也说不出来。
因为，杨辰已经张开大手，一把将她整个娇柔无骨的身子，抱紧在怀里。
林若溪睁大了水润的双眸，感受到一阵阵沉重有力的心脏，口鼻间是熟悉的气息，不禁大脑一片空白。
终归还是被抱住了，而且还是被骗回来的。
就在此时，远方中海市区方向，传来笨重浑厚的“铛……铛……铛……”的声音。
是城市传来的钟声？
午夜十二点了么？ 林若溪默然，她恍惚明白了杨辰让她上来的含义，两只手，不自禁的，伸上去，同时抱住了杨辰的腰，虽然是轻轻的，但还是搂住了。
话语声到最后已经比较模糊，只因为，别墅区里不少家户，都在这一刻点燃了最后的烟火。
漫天的绚烂烟火，姹紫嫣红，爆发出震耳欲聋的响声，响彻了云霄。
斑斓的火辉，映照着的，是两人平静温和的时光。

As the sky turned dark, the dining table in the villa was filled with a variety of plates and bowls. Since Guo Xuehua came from the north of the country while Wang Ma cooked southern dishes, there was a healthy mix of dishes that were prepared.
Because most of them weren’t big fans of alcohol, they immediately started digging in upon sitting down.
“Brother Yang, let’s set off the fireworks we bought,” Hui Lin suddenly said during the meal while she looked at Yang Chen with high hopes.
Yang Chen who was currently chewing on a chicken drumstick, lifted and waved his hand as he mumbled, “What time is it now? Why not we finish diner first. Aren’t there new year's galas later? We’ll set off the fireworks after that.”
“But aren’t we supposed to watch the TV after the new year's gala?” Even Zhenxiu started talking during the meal after breaking out of the awkward barrier of non-familiarity.
Yang Chen giggled. “Fine, we shall wait till the boring program is finished before we go out to set off the fireworks.”
Guo Xuehua and Wang Ma looked at each other, then glanced at Yang Chen who appeared to be the king of the children before laughing.
Lin Ruoxi on the other hand was silently eating as usual. She didn’t appear too excited even during a cheerful new-year night. However, she would pinch some meat and vegetables for Zhenxiu once in a while.
Zhenxiu was rather embarrassed. It was understandable for Lin Ruoxi to serve her husband or mother-in-law, but pinching vegetables for an outsider was not something that happened normally. However, Zhenxiu really appreciated the love she was shown in the house.
Before they even finished their meal, the new year's gala started playing on television. After the opening dance performance, the hosts of the event introduced themselves one after another.
Hui Lin hadn’t had a chance to watch such a TV program in the past. Thus, she paid lots of attention on the television. She suddenly noticed a familiar logo on the stage. It was the logo of Yu Lei International!
“Elder Sister, why is your company logo there? Is this event sponsored by Yu Lei?” Hui Lin asked excitedly.
Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly. “We have been sponsors of the event before, some two years ago. But we’re spending a lot more this year. The new material will launch in the market soon, so we must raise our reputation significantly throughout the country.”
When Lin Ruoxi talked about work, pride and resolution could be seen on her cold face, causing the people who were listening feel interested.
“My daughter-in-law is such an independent woman. How impressive,” Guo Xuehua praised with a smile.
“Yeah, yeah, I look up to Elder Sister so much for being able to manage such a large company. I get headaches just by thinking of it,” Hui Lin said honestly.
Lin Ruoxi wasn’t humble when it came to her work. Why should she be? She had been working so hard all these years just to prove her value in addition to keeping the pride of her late grandmother.
“I want to take over around ten more factories this year and more than two thousand acres of industrial lands. When that happens, Yu Lei would be truly left with no competitors in the country,” Lin Ruoxi said confidently.
“Miss, don’t say frightening things like this during Chinese New Year. It’s really horrifying to imagine the scale,” Wang Ma said with a smile as she patted her chest.
“I find one acre of land very huge already,” Zhenxiu said before pouting.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly noticed she was at home as opposed to facing the senior managers in her company. She couldn’t help but blush. She just couldn’t refrain herself from talking about work like this.”
Yang Chen was secretly smiling beside heer. It was certainly hard for a housewife like Wang Ma to imagine the scale. What Lin Ruoxi usually did in her company, was alien to Wang Ma’s comprehension. Perhaps this was the reason why Lin Ruoxi behaved so differently from the ladies of her age.
Quietly, Yang Chen leaned forward to Lin Ruoxi and whispered, “I hope no one will come here to seek revenge in the future after you destroy more families.”
Lin Ruoxi knew that Yang Chen was referring to what had taken place at Yuping Garment earlier. Frowning, she said, “I do what I must. I need more labor in order to expand. I can’t stay put doing nothing just to avoid some sad people.”
“You’re right as well. I’m just saying you should bring your husband out in the future when you inspect factories or something,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes, but felt comforted by his simple words.She felt glad as she could finally feel like there was someone she could rely on.
After a while, Wang Ma carried a few plates of boiling-hot dumplings from the kitchen. Although some of them looked damaged, they appeared to be rather fresh in general.
“Let’s eat some dumplings. Young Master, please don’t buy so many dumplings anymore in the future. We have more than we can eat,” Wang Ma complained.
Lin Ruoxi pouted. “Wang Ma, we told you we didn’t buy them. A restaurant gave them out for free after Yang Chen took part in their competition.”
“What competition is it? Why did they give out dumplings?” Guo Xuehua asked out of curiosity.
Yang Chen smiled embarrassingly before explaining what had happened outside the dumpling restaurant. When the ladies heard that he had swallowed 88 dumplings, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
“Stop eating like this. What if your stomach gets sick after that?” Guo Xuehua advised.
Yang Chen didn’t bother explaining he merely wanted to win the doll for Lin Ruoxi. “I won’t do it next time.”
Lin Ruoxi naturally wouldn’t tell them Yang Chen had noticed that she had taken a liking towards the dumpling doll as she felt shy. She couldn’t help but feel warm inside when Yang Chen decided to keep quiet because he didn’t want Guo Xuehua to blame her for it.
After dinner, Yang Chen obeyed Hui Lin by setting off all the fireworks he bought. When he was done, New Year’s Eve could finally be wrapped. The women were as tired as they were content, they had worked really hard cooking after all.
One by one, they left for their rooms. Yang Chen also switched off the television before returning to his room on the second floor.
Upon entering his room, he took his phone out and sent a message to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi walked out from the bathroom wearing a thin white bathrobe as she had just showered. She was surprised to receive a text this late at night.
She was even more shocked when she found out it was from Yang Chen, as he had never sent her a text before, let alone during this hour at home.
‘Come to the rooftop.’
Yang Chen only sent four words.
Lin Ruoxi wrinkled her brows slightly. This message was sent a minute ago, which meant Yang Chen had expected her now.
There was an empty rooftop, west of the villa. There were only a few flower pots there, so she didn’t usually visit the place.
Should I go or not? Lin Ruoxi bit her lips. She didn’t take long to decide, and walked to the changing space in her room. She wore simple thermal underwear before putting on a light orange marten coat. This was to protect her from the chill that came with the night.
Although she didn’t know what he was up to, she was quite sure that he wouldn’t force her into doing anything.
Lin Ruoxi contemplated in worry, but still walked out of the room. She didn’t make too much noise while walking upstairs, so nobody was awakened.
When she reached the rooftop, she felt a sharp pain on her face after it was blown by the cold wind of the night. Lin Ruoxi tightened her coat, while her black hair was blown messy. Her goddess-like, charming face appeared particularly touching, like a flower which was blooming in the night.
Lin Ruoxi blurrily widened her eyes, only to see a familiar figure standing near the railing far away, waiting for her arrival.
“What do you need?” Lin Ruoxi asked softly after approaching him. She was rather nervous, as it was her first time standing on the rooftop with Yang Chen alone at night.
Yang Chen didn’t turn around. He replied, “Look, look at Zhonghai City over in the distance. The lights tonight appear much brighter than before.”
Lin Ruoxi walked near the railing as she rubbed her hands together to fight the cold. “Really? I can’t tell the difference.”
“That’s because you exhaust yourself working like a dog day in day out. You don’t see the things boring people would, to experience the world from their eyes,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
“Why do you still look if it’s boring?” Lin Ruoxi frowned.
“The view, yes it may seem boring, but when you have something to watch it with, it doesn’t really matter what you’re looking at,” Yang Chen said as he turned his head back before smiling mysteriously at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi got nervous upon being stared at. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Wife, would you let me hug you?” Yang Chen suddenly asked.
Lin Ruoxi’s cheeks blushed. She stared at him angrily and said, “Lame. If this is all you want, i’m going back to sleep.”
“If you don’t let me hug you, I’ll jump down from this third floor,” Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi pouted. “Do it. You always love to show your capabilities.”
“I’m really going to jump.” Yang Chen looked serious.
Lin Ruoxi ignored him and turned around before leaving.
Suddenly, she heard a few thuds from behind. The sound of the wind soon echoed, as if someone had disappeared!
Has he really jumped?!
Lin Ruoxi’s heart violently contracted. She quickly turned around. Expectedly, Yang Chen’s figure was nowhere to be found!
“Yang Chen!” Lin Ruoxi shouted subconsciously. She ran to the railing again and looked downward. Suddenly, a silhouette shot up from beneath!
When Yang Chen jumped down earlier, he held onto the edge of the railing with one of his arms. He lifted himself back onto the platform. This was an act people considered impossible, but to Yang Chen, Jumping from the third floor and back up was child’s play.
Lin Ruoxi panicked after getting frightened. She felt her vision blur, but Yang Chen soon appeared in front of her again, unharmed with a smile. “You…”
Lin Ruoxi almost cried from the shock. She wanted to scold him furiously, but before she could open her mouth, she failed to say a single word.
That was because Yang Chen had widened his arms and hugged her boneless-like, soft body.
Lin Ruoxi’s big, watery eyes opened widely. She felt a pressure in her heart, while a familiar scent could be detected through her nose. Soon, her mind went completely blank.
She was still hugged at last, after getting tricked to come back.
Dong! Dong! Sounds of large bells echoed from the direction of Zhonghai City.
Is it the sound of the bell from the city?
Lin Ruoxi quickly understood why Yang Chen asked her to come upstairs. She involuntarily reached her arms toward Yang Chen’s back and hugged him at his waist. Although it was a light movement, it was a hug, true in every way, shape and form.
Yang Chen’s voice became blurry near the end, because fireworks were set off in the distance from numerous other houses.
The colorful and brilliant fireworks filled the sky, deafening sounds of explosion rang throughout the clouds.
The light coming from the gorgeous fire was a peaceful and gentle moment of the two.

She pointed at the ground with her tiptoe, turned herself into a gust of wind, and disappeared from the entrance of the cave.\n\"Why didn't Linger Yao answer my question?\" Flower Fairy frowned with confusion, seeing her leaving.\nIt was not only Flower Fairy, Black Puppy and Xianzhi Qin were also confused by Linger Yao's behavior. They all sensed something off about her.\nLinger Yao had gotten really close with them not long ago, and she also helped Qingfeng defeat the Black Wind Duo Demons.\nHowever, she did not even bother to look at them after getting out of the coffin, acting as if they didn't exist. This really upset them.\nFlower Fairy asked Black Puppy, \"Puppy, Qingfeng should be all right since Linger Yao is okay, right?\"\nBlack Puppy had no idea. \"How would I know?\"\nFlower Fairy pouted as she stepped beside the black coffin. She fiddled with the tombstone engraving to see if she could open it up.\nBut it was all in vain and the coffin stayed completely still.\nIt was strange that only Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao were able to open up the black coffin. No one else was capable of doing that.\nIn fact, if Black Puppy had awakened its memory, it would have been able to open the coffin as well.\nBut it had only awakened a part of his memory from its previous life, with a large portion still unawakened, so it did not know the method of opening up the black coffin.\nWhen they were mulling over what to do next, the black coffin suddenly raised straight into the air.\nA ray of white right shot out from the hole under the coffin and Qingfeng's body flew out from the ray.\n\"You are back, Big Brother Li!\" Flower Fairy said happily with excitement.\nShe was just anxious that something bad had happened to Qingfeng, so she was excited to see him flying out.\nQingfeng Li smiled lightly. \"I'm all right. Did you see Linger Yao?\"\nFlower Fairy twitched her mouth in dissatisfaction, \"That woman is so arrogant! She didn't even pay any attention to me when I asked her about you. She just flew out and left.\"\nQingfeng Li laughed in embarrassment since he sure knew the reason why Linger Yao ignored these people. It was all because of what he had just done. It was actually nice of her to have not killed him.\nBlack Puppy waggled his tail and walked to Qingfeng Li's side. He rubbed against Qingfeng's pants and asked, \"You have gotten the Spirit Emperor's legacy?\"\nQingfeng Li nodded, \"Yes, I got it. Let's get out of here.\"\nHe then led the way without wasting any time, knowing his next destination was Hell.\nOnly the Hell under the Kunlun Mountains had Saint-Perishing Fruits and only those fruits could wake up his baby.\nBlack Puppy's eyes shone with excitement. It knew that the Spirit Emperor's legacy signified immense combat power.\nGetting the Spirit Emperor's legacy meant that Qingfeng Li's combat power was already no weaker than the masters of the Spirit Emperor Realm, giving them enough power to protect themselves in the Kunlun Mountains.\nQingfeng Li ran into someone outside the cave. It was none other but the Old Monster of the North Sea.\n\"What did you get from there, Qingfeng Li? Can I take a look?\" he blocked Qingfeng Li's way and asked. The Old Monster ofthe North Sea knew that Qingfeng Li was a master of array formations, so he must have gotten something in the cave.\nQingfeng Li ignored him and kept walking. The Old Monster of the North Sea placed his body in front of Qingfeng Li to stop him from leaving.\nQingfeng Li did not want to waste his Golden Flame on Old Monster of North Sea so he did not take any action.\n\"You are on, puppy,\" Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said to Black Puppy.\nThe Old Monster of the North Sea's eyes shone with a cold ray. He did not believe that Qingfeng Li was arrogant enough to actually order a dog toi get rid of him. This was absolutely unacceptable.\nBlack Puppy looked up into the sky with a 360 degree motion and reached out its palm all of a sudden, turning it into a giant claw capable of covering the sky.\nThe giant claw slapped the Old Monster of the North Sea far away with its immense power. He spat out a mouthful of blood.\n\"Too weak, it's not even challenging.\" Black puppy shook its head with disdain.\nBlack Puppy had the combat power of a half-step Spirit Emperor, so no one under the level of a Spirit Emperor Realm Master would be able to defeat him.\nQingfeng Li left with everyone without even paying any attention to the injured Old Monster of the North Sea.\nThe Old Monster of the North Sea looked gloomy when he saw Qingfeng Li leaving. He did not follow them because he knew that would only bring him more embarrassment. He was no match for them.\nQingfeng Li covered a couple of miles in a short time with a very fast speed. Their next destination was Hell.\nHe saw about a few thousand self-cultivators on the way, and they were all heading towards Hell.\nQingfeng Li frowned with a trace of confusion in his eyes.\nAs a matter of fact, the Hell under the Kunlun Mountains was extremely dangerous, and no one had successfully survived there. Why were those self-cultivators all rushing towards there?\nQingfeng Li held up his hand and stopped a long-haired self-cultivator, \"Pretty girl, why are you going to Hell? Shouldn't you be looking for other treasures?\"\nThe pretty girl with long hair frowned because she did not plan to talk to Qingfeng Li originally. But she was surprised when she saw his face and recognized him as he was the one and only Qingfeng Li of the Huaxia's younger generation of self-cultivators.\n\"Let me tell you. There is an immortal sutra that appeared near Kunlun Mountain Hell. Everyone is going that way because they all want it,\" the long-haired beautiful girl smiled lightly and told Qingfeng Li.\nHe looked at the girl and found her a little familiar, \"Which sect are you from?\"\nShe continued smiling. \"I am from the Bamboo King Sect, same as my senior sister Xianxian Mu. But we got separated.\"\nQingfeng Li suddenly realized the reason why the pretty girl was telling him all this; it was because she was a member of Bamboo King Sect.\nQingfeng Li thanked the long-haired girl and quickly walked towardsHell with everyone. That was his ultimate destination."

第1275章
面对百花仙子的询问，妖灵儿目光直视前方，看也没有看她，妖灵儿的脚尖在地上轻轻一点，身体化作一阵旋风，瞬间消失在原地，离开了洞穴。
“妖灵儿，她为什么不回答我的问题？”
对于妖灵儿的离开，不仅是百花仙子感到不理解，黑色小狗和秦仙芝也是感到有些不解，因为，他们几个人似乎都感觉到了妖灵儿的不对劲。
在不久之前，妖灵儿和李清风等人的关系不错，还帮助李清风对付黑风双煞，和百花仙子他们也有交流。
但是现在，妖灵儿从地底出来，根本就不看他们一眼，转身就走，当他们不存在，这让黑色小狗他们心里有点不爽。
百花仙子看着黑色小狗，开口说道：小狗，妖灵儿都没有事，李大哥应该也没事吧？
面对百花仙子的询问，黑色小狗摇了摇头，说道：我怎么知道？
百花仙子撅了撅嘴，不再询问黑色小狗，一个人走到黑色棺材旁边，用手摸着棺材上面的图案，看看能不能打开棺材。
但是百花仙子发现，一切都是徒劳，棺材仍然一动无动。
说来也奇怪，这黑色棺材只有两个人能打开，一个是李清风，一个是妖灵儿，除了他们之外，别人都不行。
其实，黑色小狗如果觉醒神通记忆的话，也可以打开。
但是，黑色小狗现在只是觉醒了前世一部分记忆，神通也只是觉醒了一部分，很多记忆都还没有彻底觉醒，所以不知道打开黑色棺材的方法。
正在几个人一筹莫展的时候，黑色棺材突然向着上方飘起，悬浮到空中。
在棺材下面的洞穴中射出一道白光，李清风的身体从这道白光中里面飞了出来。
“李大哥，你出来了。” 百花仙子的眼中出现一抹喜色，一脸激动的说道。
百花仙子刚才还在担心李清风，害怕李清风出事，但是下一刻，李清风就从下面飞出，让她心里一阵激动。
李清风淡淡一笑，说道：我没有事，你们见到妖灵儿了吗？
百花仙子撇了撇嘴，有些不满的说道：那个女人可是极为高傲，她刚才出来的时候，我给她打招呼询问你，人家理都不理，转头就飞走了。
听到百花仙子的话，李清风尴尬一笑，他自然知道，妖灵儿为什么不搭理自己身边这群人。
黑色小狗走到李清风的身边，摇动自己的尾巴，蹭了蹭李清风的裤管，开口说道：你得到灵皇传承了。
李清风点了点头，说道：得到了，走，我们离开这里。
说完之后，李清风率先向着前面走去，没有一刻耽误，他知道现在自己的目标就是昆仑山地狱。
只有昆仑山地狱里面才有灭圣果，拿到灭圣果才能救醒宝宝。
黑色小狗眼中出现一抹喜色，它自然知道灵皇传承意味着什么，那意味着强大的战斗力和攻击力。
李清风得到灵皇传承，说明李清风的战斗力已经不弱于灵皇境强者，在昆仑山禁区他们已经有了自保之力。
李清风刚走出山洞，就是遇到了一个人，这个人不是别人，正是北海老怪。
“李清风，你在里面得到了什么，能否拿出来让我看一下？” 北海老怪看着李清风，开口说道，他知道李清风懂阵法，肯定在山洞里面得到了宝物。
李清风没有理他，继续向前走去，北海老怪身体一动，挡在了李清风的前面，不让他离开。
李清风没有动手，因为他不想用出黄金火焰对付眼前的北海老怪，如果用出火焰，李清风觉得是一种浪费。
“小狗，你来对付他。” 李清风淡淡一笑，对着旁边的黑色小狗说道。
听到李清风的话，北海老怪的眼中闪过一道寒光，李清风真是太嚣张了，竟然让一条狗对付自己，真是不知死活。
黑色小狗仰着脑袋，三百六十度看天空，伸出自己的狗爪，向前猛然一挥，化作苍天巨爪。
这巨爪带着无敌力量，一爪子把北海老怪拍飞，张嘴吐出一口鲜血。
“太弱了，没有一点挑战。” 黑色小狗摇了摇头，一脸不屑。
黑色小狗现在的战斗力就是半步灵皇境，灵皇境强者不出现，一般人根本不是它的对手。
李清风带着众人离开，没有去看受伤的北海老怪。
看着李清风离去的背影，北海老怪脸色阴沉，但是没有追上去，因为他知道自己就算追上去，也打不过对方，只能是自取其辱。
李清风等人的速度很快，不一会便是走出了几十里，他们的目标就是前面的昆仑山地狱。
一路上，李清风看到很多的修真者，大概有几千名修真者，都是向着昆仑山地狱冲去。
李清风眉头微皱，眼中出现一抹疑惑。
按理说，昆仑山地狱非常危险，去了那里的人都是必死无疑，大部分都是有去无回，可是这些修真者，为什么都要向那里冲呢。
李清风伸出手掌，拦住一个短发修真者，开口问道：美女，你为什么要去昆仑山地狱，不应该是去找别的宝物吗？
长发美女皱了皱眉，她本来不想搭理李清风，但当看到李清风的样子，脸色一变，因为她认出了李清风是华夏修真界年轻一代第一人。
“我跟你说，在昆仑山地狱附近，出现了一部仙经，人们都想得到它，所以都去了那里。” 长发美女淡淡一笑，对着李清风说道。
李清风看着这个长发美女，有一点眼熟，问道：你是哪个门派的？
长发美女笑着说道：我是青竹王门的，和穆纤纤师姐是一个门派，只不过我们走散了。
听了长发美女的话，李清风恍然大悟，明白眼前的美女为什么会告诉自己，这里发生的一切，原来她是青竹王门的人。
李清风对着长发美女道了一声谢，然后带在身边的人，快速向着昆仑山地狱走去，那里是他的终极目标。

Chapter 1275: Heading to Hell under the Kunlun Mountains
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated Linger Yao ignored Flower Fairy's question and looked ahead. She pointed at the ground with her tiptoe, turned herself into a gust of wind, and disappeared from the entrance of the cave.
"Why didn't Linger Yao answer my question?" Flower Fairy frowned with confusion, seeing her leaving.
It was not only Flower Fairy, Black Puppy and Xianzhi Qin were also confused by Linger Yao's behavior. They all sensed something off about her.
Linger Yao had gotten really close with them not long ago, and she also helped Qingfeng defeat the Black Wind Duo Demons.
However, she did not even bother to look at them after getting out of the coffin, acting as if they didn't exist. This really upset them.
Flower Fairy asked Black Puppy, "Puppy, Qingfeng should be all right since Linger Yao is okay, right?"
Black Puppy had no idea. "How would I know?"
Flower Fairy pouted as she stepped beside the black coffin. She fiddled with the tombstone engraving to see if she could open it up.
But it was all in vain and the coffin stayed completely still.
It was strange that only Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao were able to open up the black coffin. No one else was capable of doing that.
In fact, if Black Puppy had awakened its memory, it would have been able to open the coffin as well.
But it had only awakened a part of his memory from its previous life, with a large portion still unawakened, so it did not know the method of opening up the black coffin.
When they were mulling over what to do next, the black coffin suddenly raised straight into the air.
A ray of white right shot out from the hole under the coffin and Qingfeng's body flew out from the ray.
"You are back, Big Brother Li!" Flower Fairy said happily with excitement.
She was just anxious that something bad had happened to Qingfeng, so she was excited to see him flying out.
Qingfeng Li smiled lightly. "I'm all right. Did you see Linger Yao?"
Flower Fairy twitched her mouth in dissatisfaction, "That woman is so arrogant! She didn't even pay any attention to me when I asked her about you. She just flew out and left."
Qingfeng Li laughed in embarrassment since he sure knew the reason why Linger Yao ignored these people. It was all because of what he had just done. It was actually nice of her to have not killed him.
Black Puppy waggled his tail and walked to Qingfeng Li's side. He rubbed against Qingfeng's pants and asked, "You have gotten the Spirit Emperor's legacy?"
Qingfeng Li nodded, "Yes, I got it. Let's get out of here."
He then led the way without wasting any time, knowing his next destination was Hell.
Only the Hell under the Kunlun Mountains had Saint-Perishing Fruits and only those fruits could wake up his baby.
Black Puppy's eyes shone with excitement. It knew that the Spirit Emperor's legacy signified immense combat power.
Getting the Spirit Emperor's legacy meant that Qingfeng Li's combat power was already no weaker than the masters of the Spirit Emperor Realm, giving them enough power to protect themselves in the Kunlun Mountains.
Qingfeng Li ran into someone outside the cave. It was none other but the Old Monster of the North Sea.
"What did you get from there, Qingfeng Li? Can I take a look?" he blocked Qingfeng Li's way and asked. The Old Monster ofthe North Sea knew that Qingfeng Li was a master of array formations, so he must have gotten something in the cave.
Qingfeng Li ignored him and kept walking. The Old Monster of the North Sea placed his body in front of Qingfeng Li to stop him from leaving.
Qingfeng Li did not want to waste his Golden Flame on Old Monster of North Sea so he did not take any action.
"You are on, puppy," Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said to Black Puppy.
The Old Monster of the North Sea's eyes shone with a cold ray. He did not believe that Qingfeng Li was arrogant enough to actually order a dog toi get rid of him. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Black Puppy looked up into the sky with a 360 degree motion and reached out its palm all of a sudden, turning it into a giant claw capable of covering the sky.
The giant claw slapped the Old Monster of the North Sea far away with its immense power. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Too weak, it's not even challenging." Black puppy shook its head with disdain.
Black Puppy had the combat power of a half-step Spirit Emperor, so no one under the level of a Spirit Emperor Realm Master would be able to defeat him.
Qingfeng Li left with everyone without even paying any attention to the injured Old Monster of the North Sea.
The Old Monster of the North Sea looked gloomy when he saw Qingfeng Li leaving. He did not follow them because he knew that would only bring him more embarrassment. He was no match for them.
Qingfeng Li covered a couple of miles in a short time with a very fast speed. Their next destination was Hell.
He saw about a few thousand self-cultivators on the way, and they were all heading towards Hell.
Qingfeng Li frowned with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
As a matter of fact, the Hell under the Kunlun Mountains was extremely dangerous, and no one had successfully survived there. Why were those self-cultivators all rushing towards there?
Qingfeng Li held up his hand and stopped a long-haired self-cultivator, "Pretty girl, why are you going to Hell? Shouldn't you be looking for other treasures?"
The pretty girl with long hair frowned because she did not plan to talk to Qingfeng Li originally. But she was surprised when she saw his face and recognized him as he was the one and only Qingfeng Li of the Huaxia's younger generation of self-cultivators.
"Let me tell you. There is an immortal sutra that appeared near Kunlun Mountain Hell. Everyone is going that way because they all want it," the long-haired beautiful girl smiled lightly and told Qingfeng Li.
He looked at the girl and found her a little familiar, "Which sect are you from?"
She continued smiling. "I am from the Bamboo King Sect, same as my senior sister Xianxian Mu. But we got separated."
Qingfeng Li suddenly realized the reason why the pretty girl was telling him all this; it was because she was a member of Bamboo King Sect.
Qingfeng Li thanked the long-haired girl and quickly walked towardsHell with everyone. That was his ultimate destination.

"value": "Chapter 574: Escape the Base!\nChapter 574: Escape the Base!\nThe Evolver immediately replied: “Roger! Leader!”\nThe 8 Evolvers immediately got into action, and they begun to operate the controls as though they had been part of the crew for years. Under their deft control, the ship began to light up, and following the sounds of whirring, the huge carrier left its port and started to move.\nYue Zhong looked at Tenpyo Saka: “Tenpyo Saka, I’ll leave the zombies on the ship to you.”\nShe was after all an assassin that walked in the dark, and with the Night Vision ability as well, she was more than enough to handle the zombies within the mothership.\nShe glanced at Yue Zhong before turning around to go hunt down the zombies.\nA single aircraft carrier mothership was the product of human ingenuity prior to the apocalypse, and its size was even larger than most Type 4 Mutant Beasts. Its movements caused waves to ripple out.\nMany of the sea warriors and Mutant Beasts were attracted by the movement and begun to swim over.\nThe powerful defense systems of the mothership were activated and began firing at the surrounding Mutant Beasts and sea warriors. The resulting blasts tore the enemies apart. Blood dyed the sea red, and the corpses of numerous Mutant Beasts and sea warriors floated on the water.\nYue Zhong stood on the deck and brought out a single 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and begun to fire it at the sea warriors that survived.\nOn the other side, Sharkie drew close, and opened its jaws to suck in all the sea warriors. Its sharp jaws then closed tight, tearing the sea warriors into bits and their blood splattered everywhere. The speed at which Sharkie was slaughtering the sea warriors was even faster than Yue Zhong.\nAll of a sudden, a large tentacle rose up from the sea, and made to grab at Yue Zhong.\nHis face fell slightly as he dodged to the side, pulling out his Black Tooth Blade as he slashed out. The tentacle was sliced in two, and the owner retracted the remainder of its tentacle in pain.\nAs the water churned, a huge Type 3 Mutant Octopus of over a 100m in length appeared, and it stretched out all its tentacles to grab at Sharkie.\nA monstrous Type 3 Sea Snake swam over hurriedly, accompanied by a Type 3 Mutant Swordfish with a sharp spike of 10m as they prepared to attack Sharkie.\nThe spike of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was really sharp, if Sharkie was really pierced by it, even if it escaped death, it would be at the very least heavily injured.\nFrom the skies, Greenie shot down and grabbed at the Type 3 Mutant Sea Snake, and brought it out of the water.\nThe Green Eagles were natural fishing birds, and they perfectly countered snakes as well. Their speed was fast, and in a single swoop, Greenie easily pierced the body of the similar-level Mutant Sea Snake.\nWith a single move, Greenie had disposed of one enemy. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish rammed into Sharkie, its sharp spike piercing the defensive layer of Sharkie, injuring it greatly.\nThe Devil Flame entered the water and caused steam to billow upwards, however, by the time it reached the body of the Mutant Swordfish, it had lost much of its power, not injuring it in the slightest.\nThe Devil Flame was terrifying on land, even able to cook an L4 that a rocket could not possibly damage. However, the moment it met water, it was basically useless.\nIn truth, most abilities were less effective in the water. Only body constitutions would not be affected.\nThe Type 4 Mutant Swordfish shot Yue Zhong a cold glare, and twisted its body, causing the sharp spike to gouge a huge wound out of Sharkie, fresh blood dying the sea red.\nSharkie bore its pain and reached out with one of its evolved claws to tear the tentacles restricting it, before it turned around to chomp down on the body of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish. Its violent attack also caused the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish to suffer greatly.\nThe mothership continued to traverse forward, as the Mutant Beasts and sea warriors continued to pursue. The moment they caught up, the swarm would become a huge nightmare for Yue Zhong and his party.\nSharkie and the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish continued to engage each other, tearing and ripping into each other.\nRight at this time, Greenie suddenly swooped down again, and pecked once violently at the head of the Mutant Swordfish, causing a huge gaping hole. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was killed instantly.\nSharkie swam forwards and bit down on the head of the dead Type 3 Mutant Swordfish ferociously, gobbling up the brain together with the nuclei.\nAfter Sharkie absorbed the nuclei and brain into its body, it quickly swam for the depths of the sea. Many Type 2 Mutant Beasts swam over, attracted by the scent of fresh blood.\nThe flesh and blood as well as the nuclei of Type 3 Mutant Beasts were enticing to most ordinary and Type 2 Mutant Beasts. Since Sharkie was heavily injured, many of these beasts were naturally unwilling to let go of such a big piece of meat.\nWith Sharkie leaving, it naturally helped divert the attention of a huge number of the Mutant Beasts, decreasing the pressure on the human party.\nYue Zhong raised his 12.7mm machine gun and continued to fire it at the heads of the sea warriors. His body continued to flash about on the deck of the mothership, causing any member of the sea warriors that got too close to be killed immediately.\nAfter 20 minutes, the sea warriors were left behind by the speed of the mothership.\nThe sea warriors were 5 times stronger than most ordinary humans. In a short span of time, it was possible for them to burst with speed exceeding that of the mothership. However, it was a short acceleration. Over time, it was impossible for them to maintain that speed. After all, they were biological lifeforms, and not machines.\nAfter being on the sea for 30 minutes, there was a strange movement amongst the pursuing beasts. The Type 3 and Type 2 Mutant Beasts begun to attack the weaker Mutant Beasts, killing many of them.\nNumerous weaker life forms were consumed by the larger ones, while others escaped, and in a short span of time, the entire Mutant Beast army seemed to fall apart.\n“We’re safe for now!” Yue Zhong saw the sudden collapse of the Mutant Beast army and he heaved a sigh of relief.\nIn the seas, the law of the jungle always ruled, the strong preyed on the weak, and they would often kill each other. This time, the organization of such forces was definitely due to some beast possessing the strength.\nHowever, even absolute strength would have a limit, and in this case, it was the radius at which the control was present. It seemed that the moment those Mutant Beasts got out of range, they immediately fell apart.\nWatching the fall of the Mutant Beast horde, everyone on the mothership heaved a sigh of relief.\nThe pressure from those Mutant Beasts and sea warriors had been too exhausting, not even the self-defence systems on the mothership could fully keep them at bay.\nFurthermore, while the might of the weapons were terrifying, the expenditure of ammo was likewise as shocking. Yue Zhong had not yet obtained the resources from the base itself.\nHe directly asked an Evolver: “Xian Yu Ming! How many people is needed to run this mothership?”\nXian Yu Ming was one of Chinese that had followed Yue Zhong and was already a Level 44 Strength-based Evolver. He was also one of the pilots of the Thunder Fighters, possessing the Vehicle Manoeuvre Specialization ability, and he was the captain of the small elite group of the 8 Evolvers that had come on this operation.\nXian Yu Ming thought for a while before replying: “4. It will require 4 to navigate it and control the defence systems.”\nThis was mainly thanks to the advanced development of the US, allowing for much of the ship to be automated. Due to this, the ship just required 4 well-versed crew members.\nYue Zhong gazed at them and said: “Good! I need just 3 of you to go command it. Who amongst you are willing to follow me to go get the flagship of the 7th fleet?”\n“Leader! I’m willing!! Chen Yi Fei is injured, let him rest. I’ll follow you!!”\nHearing his order, the subordinates clamoured with excitement. They had already obtained the awe-inspiring mothership, if they could even obtain the 7th fleet’s flagship, then it would be an honourable matter.\nTogether with the mothership, the flagship was also a terrifying war-machine. With these 2, they would be near invincible in the waters of China. As long as they didn’t encounter any Type 4 or Type 5 Mutant Beasts, they were practically invincible.\nXian Yu Ming shot them a glare and barked: “Pipe down!”\nThe moment he opened his mouth, the rest kept quiet and looked at him in anticipation. Xian Yu Ming’s position in the army was high, and since Yue Zhong enforced military rule, the lower ranked soldiers adhered vehemently to authority.\nXian Yu Ming then issued the order: “Zhao Tian Gang, Qiao Xing, Li Shu. The 3 of you shall accompany Leader.”\nAlthough Xian Yu Ming himself wanted very badly to go, he knows that the mothership was even more important to Yue Zhong. As the captain of this small unit, he had to stay on board to guard and command the ship."

第五百七十四章
逃离基地！
那名进化者大声的应道：“是！ 首领！”
那八名进化者一下动了起来，他们十分麻利的cāo纵着那艘航母的一个个仪器。 &&在他们的cāo纵之下，那艘航母一下亮了起来，伴随着隆隆的声音，这艘巨大的钢铁怪兽开始向着远方行驶而去。
岳重看了一眼天宫樱道：“天宫樱，这艘航母里面的丧尸就交给你了。”
天宫樱也是行走在黑暗之中的刺客，她也拥有在黑暗之中视物的能力。 足以消灭航母里面盘踞的丧尸。
天宫樱瞧了岳重一眼转身向着外面走去开始进行丧尸狩猎。
航母乃是末世之前人类智慧的结晶比一些海洋系的四阶变异兽还要巨大。 它一行动便引起了阵阵惊涛骇浪。
许多海族战士、变异兽被那巨大的航母吸引纷纷向着这边游了过来。
那航母之的密集阵防御系统开始开火，无数炮弹轰在了那些围过来的变异兽、海族战士，将那些变异兽、海族战士统统的撕成了粉碎。 鲜血染红了海洋，无数变异兽、海族战士的尸体漂浮在了水中。
岳重站在了甲板之拿出了一挺米的重机枪向着海中不断的扫shè将一名名海族战士直接打爆。
另外一边小鲨也赶来这附近，它张开大口一吸，便将十几名海族战士吸入口中，然后锋利的大嘴一合，便将那些海族战士咬得粉碎，无数血液涌出。 小鲨屠杀海族战士的速度比岳重还要快几分。
陡然之间，一条巨大的触手从海底升起，向着岳重抓去。
岳重脸sè微微一变向着旁边退了一步，抽出黑牙刀一刀劈落，将那巨大的触手一刀劈成了两截。 那巨大的触手吃痛。
那海洋之中海水一阵翻滚，一头体长超过一百米的三阶变异章鱼shè出了八条巨大的触手一下死死的缠住了小鲨。
一条体长超过九十米的如同蛟龙一般的三阶大海蛇向着这边急速游了过来。 &&一头长着一根长达十米尖刺的巨大三阶变异剑鱼也如同炮弹一般向着小鲨刺来。
那头三阶变异剑鱼的尖刺极为锋锐，若是被那头三阶变异剑鱼的尖刺刺中身体小鲨不死也要重伤。
天空中小青一下向着下方电shè而来一抓直接刺入了那头如同蛟龙一般三阶大海蛇的脑袋里面将它从海洋之中硬生生的提了起来。
青羽鹰这种变异兽原本就是以巨蛇为食，完全克制蛇类的生物。 它们的速度快若雷霆，一击就能够将一头同阶的巨蛇类变异兽洞穿。
小青一击杀死了一头三阶大海蛇。
那头三阶变异剑鱼却如同炮弹一般撞在了小鲨的身体之深达十米的尖刺洞穿了小鲨的鳞甲深深的刺入了小鲨的体内，一下重创了小鲨。
火焰系的能力在陆地之凶霸无比，就算L4这样连火箭炮都不是怎么畏惧的丧尸被火焰笼罩，也会因为脑浆被煮熟而死。
可是一旦到了水中，火焰系的能力就相当于废了。
那头三阶变异剑鱼冷冷的瞪了岳重一眼用力的扭动了一下自己的身体，那充满锯齿尖锐无比的尖刺子便在小鲨的身体之中拉出了一个巨大的伤口，无数鲜血染红了这片海域。
小鲨吃痛用力一爪撕裂了那三阶变异章鱼的触手然后一口咬在了那三阶剑鱼的身体之硬生生的将那三阶剑鱼的身体撕裂出了一个巨大的伤口，鲜血直流。
那航母不断的向前冲锋一刻不停的逃跑着，在后方还有无数的变异兽、海族低级战士在追逐着它们。 一旦被那些变异兽、海族的低级战士缠，那将会是岳重一行的噩梦。
小鲨和那三阶变异剑鱼纠缠了好一会双方都相互撕咬得伤痕累累。
就在这时，小青突然从天空之中降落。 狠狠一啄啄在那头三阶变异剑鱼的脑袋之，啄出了一个巨大的血洞，将那头三阶变异剑鱼一下啄死。
一偶咬在了那头三阶变异剑鱼的脑袋之，将那头三阶变异剑鱼的脑袋连同晶核一起统统吞下。
小鲨吞下了三阶变异剑鱼的脑袋和晶核之后游动身体向着海洋深处逃去。 许多闻到了血腥味的二阶变异兽、普通变异兽则是纷纷追了过去。
三阶变异兽的血肉晶核对于那些二阶变异兽、普通变异兽来说都是难得的宝物。 小鲨重伤那些变异兽自然不愿意放过这条大肥肉。
小鲨这头三阶变异兽一走，帮岳重一行吸引走了大量的变异兽，极大的减轻了他们的压力。
岳重抬着一挺米的重机枪在甲板之疯狂的扫shè将一头头海族战士直接打爆。
他身形闪动绕着那航母的甲板不断的疾驰，将那些企图登航母的海族战士打爆了无数。
二十分钟之后，那些海族低级战士就被航母甩开，再也追不航母。 那些海族低级战士拥有五倍普通人的身体素质同时jīng通游泳，在段时间内，它们能够爆发出比航母还要快的游泳速度。 不过那种速度仅仅只是昙花一现，它们无法长时间保持那种最高速度。
那原本在后方紧追不舍的变异兽群突然发生了一阵sāo动。 那些三阶、二阶变异兽突然向着身边弱小的变异兽发动了攻击，那些变异兽一下死伤惨重。
无数弱小的变异兽被吞噬，还有变异兽逃跑，那追击的变异兽大军一下变得溃不成军。
“暂时安全了！” 岳重看着那突然崩溃的变异兽大军长长的松了一口气。
海洋之中的变异兽原本就是弱肉强食，互相残杀的状态。 这一次能够连成一气进行登陆作战明显有着一股神秘的力量作用其中。
无论什么力量都不可能无限扩展，显然那股力量也有着极限范围。 那些变异兽一追出极限的范围旋即溃散开来。
看着那溃散的变异兽大军，航母之的所有人也都长长的松了一口气。
那些变异兽、海族战士大军给人的压力实在是太大了，就是航母的密集阵防御系统也无法完全阻挡那些恐怖怪物的攻击。
而且密集阵防御系统威力巨大，弹药量的消耗也是一个惊人的数字。 岳重可没有获得横须贺基地的补给。
岳重直接向着一名进化者问道：“鲜于明！ cāo纵这艘航母航行需要多少个人。”
鲜于明朝鲜族的华夏人他是最早追随岳重一批的战士现在已经是一名四十四级的力量进化者。 也是驾驶雷霆战机的驾驶员之一，jīng通驾驶技术，同时还是这八名进化者小队的小队长是jīng英中的jīng英。
鲜于明思考了一会直接说道：“四个人只需要四个人就能够驾驶这艘航母并且cāo纵密集阵防御系统进行防御。”
这要感谢美军的防御系统做得好，基本是全自动化cāo纵。
我要三个人走去开。 你们谁愿意跟我去把美国的第七舰队的旗舰开走。” “首领！
！ 陈一飞他身有伤，让他休息。 我跟你去！
！” 听到了岳重的命令，他的部下人人争先恐后兴奋的大声叫道。 他们已将将一艘美军的航空母舰弄到手，若是再将美国第七舰队的旗舰弄到手，那是一件多么光荣的事情。
有了这两件战斗兵器的存在，在中国近海几乎无敌。 只要不遇到四阶变异兽、五阶变异兽这样变态的存在，完全可以横着走。
鲜于明等了诸人一眼大声喝道：“都闭嘴！”
鲜于明在军中的军衔不低是少校级的军官。 岳重军中等级森严，那些尉、中尉级的战士自然不敢和他顶嘴。
鲜于明当机立断的下达命令：“赵天刚、乔星、李树。 你们三个跟首领去。”
鲜于明虽然也十分想去开美国第七舰队的旗舰，可是他知道相比旗舰，这艘航母对岳重来说更为重要。 他身为小队长也只能够坚守这艘航母。

Chapter 574: Escape the Base!
Chapter 574: Escape the Base!
The Evolver immediately replied: “Roger! Leader!”
The 8 Evolvers immediately got into action, and they begun to operate the controls as though they had been part of the crew for years. Under their deft control, the ship began to light up, and following the sounds of whirring, the huge carrier left its port and started to move.
Yue Zhong looked at Tenpyo Saka: “Tenpyo Saka, I’ll leave the zombies on the ship to you.”
She was after all an assassin that walked in the dark, and with the Night Vision ability as well, she was more than enough to handle the zombies within the mothership.
She glanced at Yue Zhong before turning around to go hunt down the zombies.
A single aircraft carrier mothership was the product of human ingenuity prior to the apocalypse, and its size was even larger than most Type 4 Mutant Beasts. Its movements caused waves to ripple out.
Many of the sea warriors and Mutant Beasts were attracted by the movement and begun to swim over.
The powerful defense systems of the mothership were activated and began firing at the surrounding Mutant Beasts and sea warriors. The resulting blasts tore the enemies apart. Blood dyed the sea red, and the corpses of numerous Mutant Beasts and sea warriors floated on the water.
Yue Zhong stood on the deck and brought out a single 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and begun to fire it at the sea warriors that survived.
On the other side, Sharkie drew close, and opened its jaws to suck in all the sea warriors. Its sharp jaws then closed tight, tearing the sea warriors into bits and their blood splattered everywhere. The speed at which Sharkie was slaughtering the sea warriors was even faster than Yue Zhong.
All of a sudden, a large tentacle rose up from the sea, and made to grab at Yue Zhong.
His face fell slightly as he dodged to the side, pulling out his Black Tooth Blade as he slashed out. The tentacle was sliced in two, and the owner retracted the remainder of its tentacle in pain.
As the water churned, a huge Type 3 Mutant Octopus of over a 100m in length appeared, and it stretched out all its tentacles to grab at Sharkie.
A monstrous Type 3 Sea Snake swam over hurriedly, accompanied by a Type 3 Mutant Swordfish with a sharp spike of 10m as they prepared to attack Sharkie.
The spike of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was really sharp, if Sharkie was really pierced by it, even if it escaped death, it would be at the very least heavily injured.
From the skies, Greenie shot down and grabbed at the Type 3 Mutant Sea Snake, and brought it out of the water.
The Green Eagles were natural fishing birds, and they perfectly countered snakes as well. Their speed was fast, and in a single swoop, Greenie easily pierced the body of the similar-level Mutant Sea Snake.
With a single move, Greenie had disposed of one enemy. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish rammed into Sharkie, its sharp spike piercing the defensive layer of Sharkie, injuring it greatly.
The Devil Flame entered the water and caused steam to billow upwards, however, by the time it reached the body of the Mutant Swordfish, it had lost much of its power, not injuring it in the slightest.
The Devil Flame was terrifying on land, even able to cook an L4 that a rocket could not possibly damage. However, the moment it met water, it was basically useless.
In truth, most abilities were less effective in the water. Only body constitutions would not be affected.
The Type 4 Mutant Swordfish shot Yue Zhong a cold glare, and twisted its body, causing the sharp spike to gouge a huge wound out of Sharkie, fresh blood dying the sea red.
Sharkie bore its pain and reached out with one of its evolved claws to tear the tentacles restricting it, before it turned around to chomp down on the body of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish. Its violent attack also caused the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish to suffer greatly.
The mothership continued to traverse forward, as the Mutant Beasts and sea warriors continued to pursue. The moment they caught up, the swarm would become a huge nightmare for Yue Zhong and his party.
Sharkie and the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish continued to engage each other, tearing and ripping into each other.
Right at this time, Greenie suddenly swooped down again, and pecked once violently at the head of the Mutant Swordfish, causing a huge gaping hole. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was killed instantly.
Sharkie swam forwards and bit down on the head of the dead Type 3 Mutant Swordfish ferociously, gobbling up the brain together with the nuclei.
After Sharkie absorbed the nuclei and brain into its body, it quickly swam for the depths of the sea. Many Type 2 Mutant Beasts swam over, attracted by the scent of fresh blood.
The flesh and blood as well as the nuclei of Type 3 Mutant Beasts were enticing to most ordinary and Type 2 Mutant Beasts. Since Sharkie was heavily injured, many of these beasts were naturally unwilling to let go of such a big piece of meat.
With Sharkie leaving, it naturally helped divert the attention of a huge number of the Mutant Beasts, decreasing the pressure on the human party.
Yue Zhong raised his 12.7mm machine gun and continued to fire it at the heads of the sea warriors. His body continued to flash about on the deck of the mothership, causing any member of the sea warriors that got too close to be killed immediately.
After 20 minutes, the sea warriors were left behind by the speed of the mothership.
The sea warriors were 5 times stronger than most ordinary humans. In a short span of time, it was possible for them to burst with speed exceeding that of the mothership. However, it was a short acceleration. Over time, it was impossible for them to maintain that speed. After all, they were biological lifeforms, and not machines.
After being on the sea for 30 minutes, there was a strange movement amongst the pursuing beasts. The Type 3 and Type 2 Mutant Beasts begun to attack the weaker Mutant Beasts, killing many of them.
Numerous weaker life forms were consumed by the larger ones, while others escaped, and in a short span of time, the entire Mutant Beast army seemed to fall apart.
“We’re safe for now!” Yue Zhong saw the sudden collapse of the Mutant Beast army and he heaved a sigh of relief.
In the seas, the law of the jungle always ruled, the strong preyed on the weak, and they would often kill each other. This time, the organization of such forces was definitely due to some beast possessing the strength.
However, even absolute strength would have a limit, and in this case, it was the radius at which the control was present. It seemed that the moment those Mutant Beasts got out of range, they immediately fell apart.
Watching the fall of the Mutant Beast horde, everyone on the mothership heaved a sigh of relief.
The pressure from those Mutant Beasts and sea warriors had been too exhausting, not even the self-defence systems on the mothership could fully keep them at bay.
Furthermore, while the might of the weapons were terrifying, the expenditure of ammo was likewise as shocking. Yue Zhong had not yet obtained the resources from the base itself.
He directly asked an Evolver: “Xian Yu Ming! How many people is needed to run this mothership?”
Xian Yu Ming was one of Chinese that had followed Yue Zhong and was already a Level 44 Strength-based Evolver. He was also one of the pilots of the Thunder Fighters, possessing the Vehicle Manoeuvre Specialization ability, and he was the captain of the small elite group of the 8 Evolvers that had come on this operation.
Xian Yu Ming thought for a while before replying: “4. It will require 4 to navigate it and control the defence systems.”
This was mainly thanks to the advanced development of the US, allowing for much of the ship to be automated. Due to this, the ship just required 4 well-versed crew members.
Yue Zhong gazed at them and said: “Good! I need just 3 of you to go command it. Who amongst you are willing to follow me to go get the flagship of the 7th fleet?”
“Leader! I’m willing!! Chen Yi Fei is injured, let him rest. I’ll follow you!!”
Hearing his order, the subordinates clamoured with excitement. They had already obtained the awe-inspiring mothership, if they could even obtain the 7th fleet’s flagship, then it would be an honourable matter.
Together with the mothership, the flagship was also a terrifying war-machine. With these 2, they would be near invincible in the waters of China. As long as they didn’t encounter any Type 4 or Type 5 Mutant Beasts, they were practically invincible.
Xian Yu Ming shot them a glare and barked: “Pipe down!”
The moment he opened his mouth, the rest kept quiet and looked at him in anticipation. Xian Yu Ming’s position in the army was high, and since Yue Zhong enforced military rule, the lower ranked soldiers adhered vehemently to authority.
Xian Yu Ming then issued the order: “Zhao Tian Gang, Qiao Xing, Li Shu. The 3 of you shall accompany Leader.”
Although Xian Yu Ming himself wanted very badly to go, he knows that the mothership was even more important to Yue Zhong. As the captain of this small unit, he had to stay on board to guard and command the ship.

"value": "Chapter 459 A Strange Injury!\nLing Lan fully agreed with Zhao Jun's speculations. She nodded and said, \"This battle plan is pretty good. For the next round, we should also make some changes.\" Tongli's targeted and purposeful line-up reminded Ling Lan that a fixed and unchanging order would make it very easy for others to pick out a flaw. Although they had strength, they would not be able to fend against endless schemes and calculations.\nZhao Jun's words pulled Qiao Ting's attention back, and he turned an odd gaze at the few Tongli cadets who were standing not too far backstage watching the fight closely. He did not know whether to give them props for their bizarre way of thinking or offer them a moment of mournful silence.\nAlthough Qiao Ting did not think that he had truly lost to Ling Lan in that challenge fight, having exchanged one proper blow with Ling Lan, he knew well that Ling Lan's mecha combat arts were extraordinary. Whether in terms of speed, technique, or judgment, Ling Lan had achieved the pinnacle of a special-class operator — and this was why Ling Lan had been able to finish him off in one move.\nThese were the results of Qiao Ting's repetitive study of the battle recording of their fight. He believed that Ling Lan's control ability was actually even stronger than Zhao Jun who seemed stronger than Ling Lan on the surface. It was also this analysis which made Qiao Ting mentally view Ling Lan as his greatest rival — just think, had he been as strong as the other back when he was in his second year?\nOf course, without advancing to ace, no matter how powerful or talented one was, everything would be but a passing cloud. Qiao Ting knew he would continue to keep a close eye on Ling Lan, waiting to see if this aberrant who had already advanced to Domain in physical skills at age 17 would be just as aberrant when it came to mecha piloting.\nOn this end, while Qiao Ting was thinking that the Tongli people were asking for trouble, on the other end, Han Yu, who did not know Ling Lan's true strength, was becoming anxious. He could not help but begin to resent Ling Lan, silently blaming the other for coveting the honour associated with the group battles and forcing his way in to make up the numbers, pushing Zhao Jun aside. If not for that, they would never have been put into such a passive state ...\nAt the thought that they might be ended here in the top 100, becoming one of the most unexpected losers of this competition, Han Yu could not help but think viciously — wait till they got back to the First Men's Military Academy ... let's see how this Ling Lan was going to explain this! At this moment, Han Yu had forgotten that it was because he had lost that first match which he should not have out of carelessness that things had become so passive for them ...\nSensing the discontent in Han Yu's eyes, a trace of a malicious smile appeared on Qiao Ting's lips. He was not so nice that he would help enlighten his old rival — let him stew in his worry for a while.\nLing Lan chose to ignore Han Yu's displeasure and Qiao Ting's indifference; right then, she was reading through a long document in her mindspace. It was the detailed information she had asked Little Four to gather on all the participants of Tongli.\n\"It should be this person ...\" said Ling Lan, pointing at one of the names in the document; she had finally found what she was looking for.\nAt her side, Little Four was rather curious. He stretched tall on tiptoe, trying to see who exactly his boss was referring to. Unfortunately, even after 17 years, he was still a little beansprout — his height was not even at the level of Ling Lan's waist; no matter how high he stood on tiptoe, he was still unable to see.\nLooking up to see that sheet of white paper high above his head, Little Four suddenly hated himself. Why did he have to turn the data into paper documents? If he had just displayed it on a virtual screen, wouldn't he be able to see it then? Right then, Little Four was filled with infinite regret, but he also did not dare to make an executive decision to change formats — he was afraid that his boss would once again shut him up in that small black room, oh that small black room.\nLing Lan had long noticed Little Four's behaviour and was snickering in her heart, but she decided not to make things difficult for him. She dipped the paper low, bringing it right before Little Four's eyes, pointed at one of the names and said, \"Him.\"\nLittle Four reflexively read it out loud, \"Du Yuanlang, specialization: Military Strategy. Ranked 7 in this tournament's tactical strategy competition ... this result is not that good, even losing to Han Jijyun ...\" At this point, Little Four was still befuddled, unsure why his boss had gone to the trouble of searching for this specific person among the list of more than a hundred people.\nLittle Four understood then. Abruptly amused, his eyes crinkled into a straight line as he smiled widely, and somewhat smugly with a touch of schadenfreude, he said, \"Sadly, he bet on the wrong person.\"\nLing Lan did not reply, merely rubbing Little Four's head. She ignored Little Four's resultant protests and instructed, \"In short, send a copy each of this person's information to Jijyun and Leopard. Tell them to watch out for him. During the team battle royal, this person might bring us some trouble.\"\nAfter settling all this, Ling Lan turned her attention back to the field. At this moment, Zhang Jing-an's situation was not looking good; he was fighting under the opponent's suppression. This fighter was truly Tongli's ace-in-the-hole — Zhang Jing-an, who was also a special-class operator like him, was still no match for him.\n\"Senior Zhang is about to lose,\" said Ling Lan evenly. She reckoned that there would be just a few more moves before the outcome was decided; based on Zhang Jing-an's condition, he would at most be able to withstand another 10 moves.\nQiao Ting nodded and said, \"Yes, it's just uncertain how many more moves he'll be able to take. The opponent is very strong ... his ranking of 19 was probably because he was matched against an ace operator early and was defeated prematurely. His strength is about the same as Zhao Jun's. He could have easily made it into the top 8. Zhang Jing-an's loss is not unfounded.\"\nJust as Ling Lan was puzzling over this conundrum, things abruptly changed on the field after the two mecha had exchanged another 7 blows. Zhang Jing-an, who had only been disadvantaged all this while without showing any signs of being defeated yet, suddenly dodged a little too slow and was struck right in the chest by the opponent's cold weapon. The tremendous force behind the blow sent Zhang Jing-an flying.\nThrown through the air, Zhang Jing-an had yet to stabilize his mecha when the opponent had already pounced after him like a fierce predator. Three consecutive hits instantly sent Zhang Jing-an's mecha crashing into the ground below ...\nTen moves! In the end, the moves needed to determine the outcome was as Ling Lan had predicted — only ten moves! Why could she make such an accurate judgment call when Qiao Ting could not? Ling Lan thought hard on this and was suddenly struck by a fit of inspiration. She had thought of her innate talent Profound Insight. Could that be the answer?\nThinking closely about it, that was the only possibility. This made Ling Lan begin to take this innate talent very seriously — she had initially thought that Profound Insight was just an ability that allowed her to hone in on an opponent's weakness, but now from the looks of it, she had underestimated this innate talent. Profound Insight probably still had some other wonderful uses for her to uncover ... perhaps, she should really put some serious effort to study it now.\nIn the learning space, Instructor Number One was seated in quiet meditation on a mountain peak. When he sensed Ling Lan's thoughts, he opened his eyes and a cold gleam flashed through them. Immediately after, he huffed coldly before closing his eyes in meditation once more.\nInstructor Number One was actually very displeased that Ling Lan was only just showing interest to understand her innate talent Profound Insight now. He had already told Ling Lan much earlier before that the Profound Insight innate talent was one of the best of all innate talents, so how could it be limited to the insignificant ability to identify weaknesses like the lower level innate talents such as Animal Instinct?\nHowever, Instructor Number One was also satisfied that Ling Lan had been able to notice this point so quickly despite her disinterest. Once Ling Lan had fully mastered Profound Insight ... Instructor Number One did not dare to chase this thought any further — she would definitely become an absolutely terrifying existence.\nAfter the three combo hits, Zhang Jing-an's points had already been deducted till zero. The referee immediately raised his red flag to prevent the opponent from moving forwards and attacking again. Ling Lan and the rest waited for Zhang Jing-an to operate his mecha to stand up so that the referee could announce the results.\nSeveral seconds later, Zhang Jing-an still had not moved from where he had crashed onto the ground. Ling Lan's and Qiao Ting's expressions changed.\nThe referee on the field had also noticed this, and he quickly connected to Zhang Jing-an's commlink and called out to him urgently. Then, he could vaguely hear moaning coming from the other end and immediately knew that the situation was not good. He quickly called for the medical team.\nThe medical team immediately rushed onto the scene with several high-level hackers in tow. Zhang Jing-an seemed to have already fallen unconscious and was unable to open his own cockpit, so the hackers were needed to crack the code on the cockpit doors to open them before the medical team could hoist Zhang Jing-an to help him.\nSeeing this, Ling Lan informed Little Four to lend a hand. After the hackers had begun hacking, Little Four slipped in and broke the code, springing the doors open.\nZhang Jing-an was pulled out — his entire body was limp like a lump of mud. The primary doctor stepped forwards to examine him, and his face changed drastically. He immediately placed Zhang Jing-an into the pre-prepared healing pod and swiftly contacted a transport machine on standby outside the stadium to come and move the healing pod out.\nThe competition was declared suspended for an indefinite amount of time. This notification let Ling Lan and the others know that something major must have happened. In the live broadcast they were watching backstage, when Zhang Jing-an was rescued out of his mecha, his injuries seemed off, as if several magnitudes more severe than they had imagined.\nWorried and suspicious, they watched the video images of the three-hit combo again and again — the opponent's attacks had been very clean, and there was nothing wrong with the area he had attacked either, fully avoiding the cockpit ... then why was Zhang Jing-an so heavily injured? This matter was just too strange; they could not figure it out.\nLing Lan instructed Little Four to secretly sneak into the military comms channels and make sure he found out what this matter was all about.\nEveryone was patiently waiting for the results of the examination — when Zhang Jing-an's opponent, that Tongli trump card, returned backstage, he too had a look of bewilderment on his face. He could not understand how Zhang Jing-an had been injured so gravely either. The initially bustling backstage had now fallen still and silent. Everyone was waiting for news, eager to know what in the world had happened.\n\"Ah, it's General Ling Xiao!\" In the silent backstage, someone cried out, startling everyone. A commotion broke out as everyone rushed to the big screen to see General Ling Xiao's glory for themselves. The initially heavy atmosphere was swept away in an instant.\nLing Xiao had not walked down to the combat field alone. The vice president of the Federation was with him, but everyone's attention was all on Ling Xiao, so the vice president very tragically became part of the background. Expressions grim, they walked up to Zhang Jing-an's mecha where Ling Xiao then jumped straight into the cockpit with a powerful leap. When he came out from inside, his expression had turned extremely dark ...\nHe said a few brief words to the vice president and the latter's expression changed dramatically, a picture of disbelief. Very soon, the two of them re-entered the cockpit together, and when they came out again, the vice president's countenance was even three degrees darker than Ling Xiao's.\nSoon, all of the academies participating in the group mecha combat event were notified that all of the actual mecha being used in the competition would be inspected by military specialists. Only after they were verified to be safe would the mecha operators be allowed to board them and use them in the competition!\nAs soon as this notice was released, there was an uproar! Everyone understood now what had befallen Zhang Jing-an!"

第四百五十九章：蹊跷的伤势！
赵骏的推测，凌蘭十分认同，她点头道：“这个对战方案不错，下一场我们也应该变一变。” 同理针对性的排兵布阵，提醒了凌蘭，固定不变的顺序很容易被人找出破绽，虽然他们有实力，但也挡不住层出不穷的算计。
赵骏的话也将乔霆的注意力给拉了回来，他用怪异的眼神看着后台不远处，正密切观看场内比赛的几个同理军校生，不知道该为他们的奇思妙想点个赞呢，还是要默哀一下。
虽然那场挑战赛，乔霆不认为自己是输给了凌蘭，但与凌蘭实打实对战过一招的他，很清楚，凌蘭的机甲格斗技术，非同寻常，无论在速度、技巧还是判断上，都达到了特级师士的巅峰，这也是凌蘭能够一招秒杀他的原因。
这一些都是乔霆事后反复研究两人对战录像，才分析出来的结果，他认为凌蘭的操控实力可能比明面上凌蘭第一战力的赵骏还要强上一些，也是这些东西，让乔霆暗中视凌蘭为自己最大的对手，试想他在二年级的时候，有对方这么强吗？
当然，没有晋升王牌，以前就算再强再天才，也是浮云，乔霆知道自己会一直注意凌蘭，看看这个17岁体术就晋级领域的妖孽，在机甲操控方面会不会同样妖孽？
这边乔霆认为同理的人是自讨苦吃，那边不知道凌蘭真正实力的韩煜却心焦起来。 他忍不住埋怨起凌蘭来，暗怪对方为了拿到团体赛优胜的荣誉。
想到他们可能会止步于百强，爆出本届大赛最大一个冷门。 韩煜忍不住恶毒地想，等回到第一男子军校后，看这个凌蘭怎么交代。
感觉到韩煜眼神中的不满，乔霆嘴角露出一丝恶意的微笑，他可不会好心，给自己的老对手解惑，就让他再担心一会儿吧。 韩煜的不满。
乔霆的冷眼旁观，凌蘭选择了无视，她此时在自己的意识海中看着一份长长的资料，正是刚才她让小四收集的同理所有参赛人员的详细资料。
“应该是这个人了……”意识海中的凌蘭终于找到了自己的目标，指着其中一个人名道。
一旁的小四有些好奇，他努力踮着脚，想要看看自家老大指的那个人究竟是谁，可惜十七年过去了，他依然是豆丁一个。 高度还没到凌蘭的小腰那里，再怎么垫脚也够不到啊够不到。
仰头看着高过他头顶上的那一片白纸，小四突然暗恨自己干嘛要将资料幻化成白纸文件模式，像外面一样用虚拟屏幕不就看到了吗？ 此时的小四后悔莫及啊。
她不再为难小四，白纸往下一竖。 摊在了小四的眼前，指着其中一个人名道：“就是他。” 小四下意识地念了出来：“杜元朗。
军统策略专业，本届大赛战术策划比赛：第七名……这成绩不算好，都输给韩继军……”说到这里，小四依然一头雾水，不明白自家老大为何要在这一百多人中找出这么一位来。
小四明白了，他心中一乐，眼睛都笑眯成一条线，有些得意又有些幸灾乐祸道：“可惜，他赌错了人。”
凌蘭没有回应，只是揉了揉小四的脑袋，无视小四的吩咐道：“总之，你将这个人的资料发给继军与豹子一份，让他们注意一点，团体大混战的时候，这个人可能会给我们带来一点麻烦。”
做好这一切，凌蘭又将注意力放在了赛场上，此时，张京安的情况有些不妙，被对方压着打。 这个人果然是同理的皇牌，同样是特级师士的张京安，不是他的对手。
“张学长，要输了。” 凌蘭淡淡地说道，她估算出了最后分出胜负还有几招，以张京安的情况，最多只能抗下十招。
乔霆点了点头道：“是的，只是不知道他还能抵挡多少招。 对方实力很强，十九这个排名，恐怕是过早碰到了王牌师士而落败的结果，他的实力，与赵骏相差无几，进八强无悬念。 张京安输的不冤。”
正在凌蘭大惑不解的时候，场中两架机甲又交手了七八招之后，情况突变，原本还只是处于下风，并未完全显露败势的张京安，一个闪避不及，被对方的冷兵器直接击中胸部，巨大的力量，将张京安击飞了出去。
最终所需的招数果然如凌蘭所料的那样，只用了十招！
为什么她能做出如此精准的判断，而乔霆却不能呢？ 凌蘭苦思这个问题，突然灵光一闪，她想到了她的天赋洞悉，难道是这个问题？
仔细想想，也只有这个可能，这让凌蘭对自己这个天赋开始重视起来，原以为洞悉只有识破对手弱点的能力，现在看来，她以前太忽视也小看了这个天赋，洞悉恐怕还藏有其他妙用……也许，她应该花点心思研究一下了。
学习空间中，在山巅静坐的一号导师，感觉到了凌蘭的想法，他张开了眼睛，一道冷芒一闪而过，紧接着，一声冷哼，便再次闭眼静坐。
对凌蘭现在才想到要了解天赋洞悉，一号导师是很不满的，他早就告诉过凌蘭，洞悉天赋是所有天赋中最顶级的一个，它的能力又怎么可能只有像兽觉这种低级天赋一样，只能看破弱点这种微不足道的能力呢？
不过，凌蘭能这么快发觉到这一点，一号导师也很满意，待凌蘭彻底掌握洞悉天赋后……一号导师不想深想下去，那绝对是恐怖的存在。
三连击之后，张京安的分数已经被扣到了零分，主裁判马上挥动红旗，阻止了对手再次上前攻击。 凌蘭等人等待张京安操控机甲站起，然后由主裁判宣判结果。
数秒之后，倒地的张京安依然没有动静，凌蘭与乔霆脸色微微一变。
场上的主裁判也发现了这一点，接通张京安的频道紧张呼唤，隐隐约约听到对方那头传来了声，马上知道事情不妙，赶紧通知医疗队过来。
医疗队马上赶到了现场，同来的还有几名高级骇客，张京安似乎已经陷入了昏迷，无法自己打开操控舱，所以骇客们必须先破译操控舱的密码，打开舱门之后，才能将张京安救出来。
凌蘭发现这一点，就通知了小四，在骇客刚刚尝试破译之后，小四就攻破了操控舱，将舱门打了开来。
张京安被救了出来，整个人软趴趴的如一滩烂泥，主治军医上前一检查，就脸色大变，马上将张京安放入早就准备好的治疗舱，迅速联络一直在格斗场外待机的运输机过来，将治疗舱运了出去。 比赛被宣布暂停，暂停时间不定。
这个通知，让凌蘭等人知道肯定是出大事了。 在后台的直播视频中，张京安被救出机甲的时候，伤势有些不对劲，似乎严重到超过他们想象的数倍。
惊疑的他们反复观看刚才被三连击ko的画面，对方的攻击很干净，攻击的部位也没有违规，避过了操控舱……那么张京安为什么会受那么重的伤呢？ 这太蹊跷了，他们想不通。
凌蘭吩咐小四秘密潜入军用信息通道，务必将这件事情来龙去脉弄个清楚。
所有人都耐心等待结果，张京安的对手，那个同理的皇牌回到后台之时，也一脸惊愕，他对张京安受如此重的伤也无法理解。 原本忙碌的后台，此时变得安静一片，所有人都等待消息，想知道这到底是怎么回事。
“啊，是凌霄大将！” 安静的后台，不知道谁惊呼了一声，惊醒了所有人，大家哗得一声，全部挤到大屏幕前一睹凌霄大将的风采，原本沉重的气氛，一扫而空。
凌霄并不是一个人来到格斗场中，同来的还有联邦副总统，只是大家的注意力都在凌霄身上，副总统很悲催地成为了背景板。
他对副总统说了几句话，副总统脸色大变，一脸的不能置信。 很快两人又一起到了操控舱内，再次出来的时候，副总统的脸色比凌霄还要难看三分。
很快，所有参加机甲团体赛的军校被通知，所有实战机甲军部将会派专家重新检测一遍，确定安全才允许机甲师登机比赛！
这个通知一出，一片哗然！ 所有人都明白了，张京安出事为何！

Chapter 459 A Strange Injury!
Ling Lan fully agreed with Zhao Jun's speculations. She nodded and said, "This battle plan is pretty good. For the next round, we should also make some changes." Tongli's targeted and purposeful line-up reminded Ling Lan that a fixed and unchanging order would make it very easy for others to pick out a flaw. Although they had strength, they would not be able to fend against endless schemes and calculations.
Zhao Jun's words pulled Qiao Ting's attention back, and he turned an odd gaze at the few Tongli cadets who were standing not too far backstage watching the fight closely. He did not know whether to give them props for their bizarre way of thinking or offer them a moment of mournful silence.
Although Qiao Ting did not think that he had truly lost to Ling Lan in that challenge fight, having exchanged one proper blow with Ling Lan, he knew well that Ling Lan's mecha combat arts were extraordinary. Whether in terms of speed, technique, or judgment, Ling Lan had achieved the pinnacle of a special-class operator — and this was why Ling Lan had been able to finish him off in one move.
These were the results of Qiao Ting's repetitive study of the battle recording of their fight. He believed that Ling Lan's control ability was actually even stronger than Zhao Jun who seemed stronger than Ling Lan on the surface. It was also this analysis which made Qiao Ting mentally view Ling Lan as his greatest rival — just think, had he been as strong as the other back when he was in his second year?
Of course, without advancing to ace, no matter how powerful or talented one was, everything would be but a passing cloud. Qiao Ting knew he would continue to keep a close eye on Ling Lan, waiting to see if this aberrant who had already advanced to Domain in physical skills at age 17 would be just as aberrant when it came to mecha piloting.
On this end, while Qiao Ting was thinking that the Tongli people were asking for trouble, on the other end, Han Yu, who did not know Ling Lan's true strength, was becoming anxious. He could not help but begin to resent Ling Lan, silently blaming the other for coveting the honour associated with the group battles and forcing his way in to make up the numbers, pushing Zhao Jun aside. If not for that, they would never have been put into such a passive state ...
At the thought that they might be ended here in the top 100, becoming one of the most unexpected losers of this competition, Han Yu could not help but think viciously — wait till they got back to the First Men's Military Academy ... let's see how this Ling Lan was going to explain this! At this moment, Han Yu had forgotten that it was because he had lost that first match which he should not have out of carelessness that things had become so passive for them ...
Sensing the discontent in Han Yu's eyes, a trace of a malicious smile appeared on Qiao Ting's lips. He was not so nice that he would help enlighten his old rival — let him stew in his worry for a while.
Ling Lan chose to ignore Han Yu's displeasure and Qiao Ting's indifference; right then, she was reading through a long document in her mindspace. It was the detailed information she had asked Little Four to gather on all the participants of Tongli.
"It should be this person ..." said Ling Lan, pointing at one of the names in the document; she had finally found what she was looking for.
At her side, Little Four was rather curious. He stretched tall on tiptoe, trying to see who exactly his boss was referring to. Unfortunately, even after 17 years, he was still a little beansprout — his height was not even at the level of Ling Lan's waist; no matter how high he stood on tiptoe, he was still unable to see.
Looking up to see that sheet of white paper high above his head, Little Four suddenly hated himself. Why did he have to turn the data into paper documents? If he had just displayed it on a virtual screen, wouldn't he be able to see it then? Right then, Little Four was filled with infinite regret, but he also did not dare to make an executive decision to change formats — he was afraid that his boss would once again shut him up in that small black room, oh that small black room.
Ling Lan had long noticed Little Four's behaviour and was snickering in her heart, but she decided not to make things difficult for him. She dipped the paper low, bringing it right before Little Four's eyes, pointed at one of the names and said, "Him."
Little Four reflexively read it out loud, "Du Yuanlang, specialization: Military Strategy. Ranked 7 in this tournament's tactical strategy competition ... this result is not that good, even losing to Han Jijyun ..." At this point, Little Four was still befuddled, unsure why his boss had gone to the trouble of searching for this specific person among the list of more than a hundred people.
Little Four understood then. Abruptly amused, his eyes crinkled into a straight line as he smiled widely, and somewhat smugly with a touch of schadenfreude, he said, "Sadly, he bet on the wrong person."
Ling Lan did not reply, merely rubbing Little Four's head. She ignored Little Four's resultant protests and instructed, "In short, send a copy each of this person's information to Jijyun and Leopard. Tell them to watch out for him. During the team battle royal, this person might bring us some trouble."
After settling all this, Ling Lan turned her attention back to the field. At this moment, Zhang Jing-an's situation was not looking good; he was fighting under the opponent's suppression. This fighter was truly Tongli's ace-in-the-hole — Zhang Jing-an, who was also a special-class operator like him, was still no match for him.
"Senior Zhang is about to lose," said Ling Lan evenly. She reckoned that there would be just a few more moves before the outcome was decided; based on Zhang Jing-an's condition, he would at most be able to withstand another 10 moves.
Qiao Ting nodded and said, "Yes, it's just uncertain how many more moves he'll be able to take. The opponent is very strong ... his ranking of 19 was probably because he was matched against an ace operator early and was defeated prematurely. His strength is about the same as Zhao Jun's. He could have easily made it into the top 8. Zhang Jing-an's loss is not unfounded."
Just as Ling Lan was puzzling over this conundrum, things abruptly changed on the field after the two mecha had exchanged another 7 blows. Zhang Jing-an, who had only been disadvantaged all this while without showing any signs of being defeated yet, suddenly dodged a little too slow and was struck right in the chest by the opponent's cold weapon. The tremendous force behind the blow sent Zhang Jing-an flying.
Thrown through the air, Zhang Jing-an had yet to stabilize his mecha when the opponent had already pounced after him like a fierce predator. Three consecutive hits instantly sent Zhang Jing-an's mecha crashing into the ground below ...
Ten moves! In the end, the moves needed to determine the outcome was as Ling Lan had predicted — only ten moves! Why could she make such an accurate judgment call when Qiao Ting could not? Ling Lan thought hard on this and was suddenly struck by a fit of inspiration. She had thought of her innate talent Profound Insight. Could that be the answer?
Thinking closely about it, that was the only possibility. This made Ling Lan begin to take this innate talent very seriously — she had initially thought that Profound Insight was just an ability that allowed her to hone in on an opponent's weakness, but now from the looks of it, she had underestimated this innate talent. Profound Insight probably still had some other wonderful uses for her to uncover ... perhaps, she should really put some serious effort to study it now.
In the learning space, Instructor Number One was seated in quiet meditation on a mountain peak. When he sensed Ling Lan's thoughts, he opened his eyes and a cold gleam flashed through them. Immediately after, he huffed coldly before closing his eyes in meditation once more.
Instructor Number One was actually very displeased that Ling Lan was only just showing interest to understand her innate talent Profound Insight now. He had already told Ling Lan much earlier before that the Profound Insight innate talent was one of the best of all innate talents, so how could it be limited to the insignificant ability to identify weaknesses like the lower level innate talents such as Animal Instinct?
However, Instructor Number One was also satisfied that Ling Lan had been able to notice this point so quickly despite her disinterest. Once Ling Lan had fully mastered Profound Insight ... Instructor Number One did not dare to chase this thought any further — she would definitely become an absolutely terrifying existence.
After the three combo hits, Zhang Jing-an's points had already been deducted till zero. The referee immediately raised his red flag to prevent the opponent from moving forwards and attacking again. Ling Lan and the rest waited for Zhang Jing-an to operate his mecha to stand up so that the referee could announce the results.
Several seconds later, Zhang Jing-an still had not moved from where he had crashed onto the ground. Ling Lan's and Qiao Ting's expressions changed.
The referee on the field had also noticed this, and he quickly connected to Zhang Jing-an's commlink and called out to him urgently. Then, he could vaguely hear moaning coming from the other end and immediately knew that the situation was not good. He quickly called for the medical team.
The medical team immediately rushed onto the scene with several high-level hackers in tow. Zhang Jing-an seemed to have already fallen unconscious and was unable to open his own cockpit, so the hackers were needed to crack the code on the cockpit doors to open them before the medical team could hoist Zhang Jing-an to help him.
Seeing this, Ling Lan informed Little Four to lend a hand. After the hackers had begun hacking, Little Four slipped in and broke the code, springing the doors open.
Zhang Jing-an was pulled out — his entire body was limp like a lump of mud. The primary doctor stepped forwards to examine him, and his face changed drastically. He immediately placed Zhang Jing-an into the pre-prepared healing pod and swiftly contacted a transport machine on standby outside the stadium to come and move the healing pod out.
The competition was declared suspended for an indefinite amount of time. This notification let Ling Lan and the others know that something major must have happened. In the live broadcast they were watching backstage, when Zhang Jing-an was rescued out of his mecha, his injuries seemed off, as if several magnitudes more severe than they had imagined.
Worried and suspicious, they watched the video images of the three-hit combo again and again — the opponent's attacks had been very clean, and there was nothing wrong with the area he had attacked either, fully avoiding the cockpit ... then why was Zhang Jing-an so heavily injured? This matter was just too strange; they could not figure it out.
Ling Lan instructed Little Four to secretly sneak into the military comms channels and make sure he found out what this matter was all about.
Everyone was patiently waiting for the results of the examination — when Zhang Jing-an's opponent, that Tongli trump card, returned backstage, he too had a look of bewilderment on his face. He could not understand how Zhang Jing-an had been injured so gravely either. The initially bustling backstage had now fallen still and silent. Everyone was waiting for news, eager to know what in the world had happened.
"Ah, it's General Ling Xiao!" In the silent backstage, someone cried out, startling everyone. A commotion broke out as everyone rushed to the big screen to see General Ling Xiao's glory for themselves. The initially heavy atmosphere was swept away in an instant.
Ling Xiao had not walked down to the combat field alone. The vice president of the Federation was with him, but everyone's attention was all on Ling Xiao, so the vice president very tragically became part of the background. Expressions grim, they walked up to Zhang Jing-an's mecha where Ling Xiao then jumped straight into the cockpit with a powerful leap. When he came out from inside, his expression had turned extremely dark ...
He said a few brief words to the vice president and the latter's expression changed dramatically, a picture of disbelief. Very soon, the two of them re-entered the cockpit together, and when they came out again, the vice president's countenance was even three degrees darker than Ling Xiao's.
Soon, all of the academies participating in the group mecha combat event were notified that all of the actual mecha being used in the competition would be inspected by military specialists. Only after they were verified to be safe would the mecha operators be allowed to board them and use them in the competition!
As soon as this notice was released, there was an uproar! Everyone understood now what had befallen Zhang Jing-an!

"value": "Chapter 198 – Worry-free youngster!\nChapter 198: Worry-free youngster!\nLi Shinian was too lazy to respond to Yan Xiangma’s nonsense, with her hands folded, she told him bluntly: “Speak, what do you want?”\n“I don’t want anything. Today, the sun is shining, and the mild spring breeze is beautiful. I just came out to admire the landscape to find inspiration to write poems. I did not expect to run into you——Are you about to go back home?”\n“You’re not going to say you’re going the same way too, are you?” Li Shinian sneered. He has been ‘going the same way’ dozens of times already. All the students in the school already thought that Yan Xiangma is her prince charming and ideal man.\n“Fine. You’re going home, are you? Li Shinian pointed to the dirt road ahead, as she said: “Go. You go in front.”\n“Hey, aren’t you too bossy? You even have to decide whether I go home or not and when I’m going home. Don’t tell me——you like me?” Yan Xiangma drew his handsome face closer as he said with a mischievous smile.\n“Are you leaving or not? If you’re not, then I’ll go. Don’t follow me.”\n“Li Shinian, who do you think I am? Do you think I, Yan Young Master, will agree to that rude request?” Yan Xiangma, with a loud ‘pak’, opened his folding fan and said brazenly.\n“Big sister Shinian——” Xiao Huan gently tugged at Li Shinian’s sleeve. “Yan Young master has good intentions, if he wants to follow, then let him follow us. It doesn’t matter what we do, don’t you agree?”\n“Yes Shinian, we’re leaving by the back gate, what if we run into a bad person—— Let Yan Young Master walk you home?”\n“Yan Young Master, you also live on Xuanwu Street, I heard that those living there must be rich or nobles, it’s obvious that Yan Young Master is from a prestigious family——”\nAfter Li Shinian came to Tiandu and entered Imperial View High School, Yan Xiangma has been inseparable from her, closely following her everywhere.\nLi Shinian also tried to leave from other places, such as the school’s back gate——The result was not what she wanted.\nThis guy was a ghost, no matter where she ran to, he jumped out from nowhere.\nAlso, with the time spent together, Yan Xiangma failed to tame Li Shinian, this small Mustang; however the boy-crazy girls on Li Shinian’s side were all subdued.\nIn their words: ‘I have never seen such a lowly yet refined man that makes people want to pounce over and kiss his handsome face.’\nIf you want to please the goddess, you should first take care of her maids.\nDon’t ask the silly question that why all goddesses have a little maid.\nEvidently, Yan Xiangma has successfully taken this first step.\n“Thank you. Thank you beautiful little sister——” Yan Xiangma bowed at the several girls and expressed his thanks with a charming smile. “Tomorrow at noon at Spring Gazing Restaurant, I’ll treat everyone to roast goose.”\n“Wow, Yan Young Master has to spend money again.”\nLi Shinian, unable to stand listening to them flattering each other, walked in front. She must hurry home, to not let her parents wait at home.\nYan Xiangma cupped one hand in the other, made a wink at the girls, and walked toward Li Shinian in large strides.\nNot wanting Yan Xiangma catch up to her, Li Shinian began to speed up her pace.\nYan Xiangma was calm and composed, walked leisurely and unhurried, like the calm wind, along Li Shinian’s side.\nThe two competed fiercely for a while, until they cast a glance behind, only to see the girls have already disappeared out of sight.\n“Ah, Xiao Huan——” Li Shinian cried anxiously, wanting to turn back to look for them.\n“No need to look for them.” Yan Xiangma said with a smile. “They won’t follow.”\n“Yes, I’m here.”\n“What do you want?”\n“Oh heavens, am I not obvious? Can’t you see?” Yan Xiangma said with dumbfounded look of surprise. “I don’t have much experience with this sort of things. Am I too shy and reserved? Or should I tell you in person——”\n“Don’t.” Li Shinian interrupted: “Don’t speak, even if you do I won’t listen, even if I listen, I won’t agree.”\n“I just want to find a place to pee, is that not allowed?” “——”\n“Forget it. I will not if you don’t agree. I’ll endure it. Yan Xiangma said in a low voice. “A man’s ability to hold in his urine is determined by his kidney capability, today you can be testimony to that fact.”\nYan Xiangma said with a chuckle: “Shinian, why are you living in the Lu Mansion? What is your family’s relationship with the Lu family?”\n“What does my relationship with the Lu family has to do with you?”\n“I just asked out of curiosity.” Yan Xiangma’s face suddenly darkened with worry, but he kept his smile as he asked: “Have you had any contact with Li Muyang recently?”\nLi Shinian fixed Yan Xiangma with a wary stare. “Yan Xiangma, you came to find me to gather information?”\nLi Shinian has been in Tiandu for a period of time now, and had heard the rumours that her brother had killed a very important person of the Cui family.

第一百九十八章、少年无忧！
第一百九十八章、少年无忧！
李思念懒得和燕相马废话，双手抱胸，直接了当的说道：“说吧，你想做什么？”
今天阳光明媚，春风万里。 我就是出来看看山水找找灵感写写诗词，没想到一不小心就遇到了你------现在是准备要回去了吧？” “你不会又要说自己恰好顺路吧？”
李思念一脸冷笑的说道。 已经被他顺路好几十回了，学校里面的学生都以为燕相马是她的白马王子理想情人了。 “本来就顺路啊。”
你要回府是吧？” 李思念指着那条泥路，说道：“你走。 你在前面走。”
“嘿，你这小女人也管得太多了些吧？ 你连我回不回去我什么时候回去这样的事情都要管？ 莫非----你对我有意思？”
“你走不走？ 你要是不走，那我就走了。 你不要在后面跟着。”
“李思念，你把我当成什么人了？ 这样的无礼要求，你以为我燕大少爷会答应吗？” 燕相马‘啪’的一声打开折扇，厚颜无耻的说道。
“思念姐----”小环轻轻的摇晃着李思念的胳膊，说道：“燕公子也是一番好意，他要是想跟着，那就让他跟着好了。 又不碍我们什么事儿，你说是不是？”
“是啊思念，咱们今天走这后门，万一要是遇到个歹人什么的多不好----咱们还是让燕公子送一送吧？”
每当李思念走出校门准备回家时，都会发现燕相马等待的影子。 有时候她故意留到最后，想要让燕相马误会以为自己早就离开了。
可惜燕相马从来都没有上当过，她留到多晚，他就等候到多晚。
李思念也试着从其它的地方逃脱，譬如走学校的后门------结果也很不理想。
这家伙简直就是个幽灵，无论你逃到哪里，他都能神不知鬼不觉的从你的背后从你的头顶或者其它的什么地方跳出来。
而且，随着接触时间增加，燕相马没能降服李思念这匹小野马，倒是把李思念身边的这群小花痴全都给征服了。
用她们的话说就是：我从来都没有见过贱得如何清新脱俗让人恨不得扑上去狠狠的在他的俊脸上咬上一口的男人。
要想搞定女神，就先搞定女神身边的丫鬟。
不要问为什么每个女神身边都会有一个小丫鬟这种愚蠢的问题。
显然，燕相马已经成功的迈出去第一步。
谢谢各位漂亮妹妹----”燕相马对着几个女孩子拱手道谢，风度翩翩的模样，说道：“明天中午望春楼，我请大家吃烧鹅。” “谢谢燕公子。”
“哇，燕公子又要破费了呢。”
李思念懒得听他们互相吹捧，索性第一个走在前面。 她要赶紧回家，不能让父母在家等得急了。
燕相马对着几个女孩子拱了拱手，使了一个眼色，然后大步朝着前面的李思念追了过去。
李思念不想让燕相马追上，她开始加快步伐。
燕相马不慌不忙，走起来云淡风轻，却又不紧不慢的一直跟在李思念的身边。
两人比拼了一阵子脚力，回头张望时，那几个女孩子已经消失不见了身影。
“呀，小环----”李思念急了，想要转身去寻人。 “不用去找了。”
燕相马笑着说道。 “她们是不会跟上来的。”
“小生在此。”
“你到底想要做什么？”
“天啊，我表现的还不够明显吗？ 难道你还看不出来？”
李思念伸手拦截，说道：“你不要讲，讲我也不会听，听了也不会答应。”
“我就是想找个地方撒泡尿，这样都不行？”
燕相马沉声说道。 “一个男人憋尿的能力好不好就在于他的肾能力好不好，正好你今天给我做个见证。”
燕相马笑笑，说道：“思念，你怎么住到了陆府？ 你们家和陆家是什么关系啊？”
“我和陆家是什么关系又和你有什么关系？”
“好奇问问。” 燕相马#眼里闪过一抹愁容，笑着问道：“最近李牧羊和你有过联系吗？”
李思念一脸警惕的盯着燕相马，说道：“燕相马，你是跑我这儿来打探军情了吧？”
李思念来到天都也有一段时间了，也听说过一些哥哥杀了崔家的一个很重要的人物这样的传闻，当然，她本人是不愿意相信的。
哥哥那么好的人，怎么会杀人呢？
再说，就算哥哥真的杀人，那也一定杀的是个坏蛋。
因为这件事情，自己来到天都之后还从来没有和崔小心见过面。
江南旧友，在那样的血海深仇之前实在太脆弱不堪。
燕家和崔家关系密切，燕相马和那个死者好象是表兄弟的关系。 他每日跑到自己面前晃悠，会不会就是存了其它的心思？
天都的关系实在复杂，李思念在这里人生地不熟，对这座巨大的城市有一种陌生和恐惧感。
于她而言，这座西风帝国最热闹的城市就是一座空城。 因为没有什么人是她所真正能够交心的。
她虽然只是一名学生，却已经感受到了那种风雨欲来的压迫感。
好在，暂时还有陆家站在前面替他们挡风避雨。 要是陆家不再帮助他们，怕是他们那个小小的四口之家会被那些文明的怪兽给瞬间撕得粉碎。
我要是想要找你打探消息，就直接把人给抓了。 我可告诉你，我是江南城有名的纨刳大少，什么事情我都能够做的出来。” 李思念娇笑出声。
“笑什么笑？ 严肃点儿，我正在生气呢。”
李思念上前拍拍燕相马的胳膊，说道：“好了。 算我说错话了。
我向你道歉。” 燕相马便不再生气了，‘啪’的一声打开扇子，轻轻的摇晃着说道：“你这就相信我了？ 不再怀疑我是个奸细？”
李思念笑着说道。 年轻的女孩子巧笑嫣然，明媚的阳光照在她的脸上，让她有一种神圣而柔美的光泽。 “我感觉的出来，你不会做那样的事情。”
“你的感觉真准。” 燕相马赞叹着说道。
我们在这里人生地不熟，只能住在别人的家里，没有任何自保的能力。 如果你想在我这里得到什么，只要略施手段，我没有任何反抗的能力----哪里用得着每天在学校门口守着，又是上墙又是爬树的，费这么大的功夫瞎折腾？” “哥哥没有和我联系。”
李思念打断燕相马的诉苦，出声说道。 “好久好久了，他都没有给我们写过信，也没有让人传过音，甚至他都不知道我们到了天都吧----也不知道哥哥他现在过得怎么样了，我真是想他啊。”
看着女孩子脸上毫不掩饰的浓烈思念表情，燕相马心头微酸，笑着说道：“你哥哥当然不会有事啊。 “你是没考上吧？”
李思念一脸鄙夷的说道。
“又被你猜中了。 你真是我肚子里的蛔虫啊。”
“你才是蛔虫呢。”
“好吧，那我就做你肚子里的蛔虫。”
“那话可不是我说的，是你先说的好不好？”
两人一路打闹，燕相马把李思念安全护送到陆府的后门门口。
燕相马笑笑，说道：“我不方便进去，咱们就在这里分别吧。 看看明天还有没有缘分再次偶遇。”
李思念眯着眼睛笑了起来，说道：“一定不会。”
“我不信。” 燕相马坚定的说道。
她对着燕相马挥了挥手，说道：“我进去了。
再见。” 燕相马笑着招手，嘴里哼唱着轻快的小曲，转身朝着玄武大街西头的燕府走去。 那里是他的家族府邸所在的位置。
“燕相马。” 一辆马车在他的身边停了下来，一个威严赫赫的男人声音传了过来，喝道：“上车。”

Chapter 198 – Worry-free youngster!
Chapter 198: Worry-free youngster!
Li Shinian was too lazy to respond to Yan Xiangma’s nonsense, with her hands folded, she told him bluntly: “Speak, what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything. Today, the sun is shining, and the mild spring breeze is beautiful. I just came out to admire the landscape to find inspiration to write poems. I did not expect to run into you——Are you about to go back home?”
“You’re not going to say you’re going the same way too, are you?” Li Shinian sneered. He has been ‘going the same way’ dozens of times already. All the students in the school already thought that Yan Xiangma is her prince charming and ideal man.
“Fine. You’re going home, are you? Li Shinian pointed to the dirt road ahead, as she said: “Go. You go in front.”
“Hey, aren’t you too bossy? You even have to decide whether I go home or not and when I’m going home. Don’t tell me——you like me?” Yan Xiangma drew his handsome face closer as he said with a mischievous smile.
“Are you leaving or not? If you’re not, then I’ll go. Don’t follow me.”
“Li Shinian, who do you think I am? Do you think I, Yan Young Master, will agree to that rude request?” Yan Xiangma, with a loud ‘pak’, opened his folding fan and said brazenly.
“Big sister Shinian——” Xiao Huan gently tugged at Li Shinian’s sleeve. “Yan Young master has good intentions, if he wants to follow, then let him follow us. It doesn’t matter what we do, don’t you agree?”
“Yes Shinian, we’re leaving by the back gate, what if we run into a bad person—— Let Yan Young Master walk you home?”
“Yan Young Master, you also live on Xuanwu Street, I heard that those living there must be rich or nobles, it’s obvious that Yan Young Master is from a prestigious family——”
After Li Shinian came to Tiandu and entered Imperial View High School, Yan Xiangma has been inseparable from her, closely following her everywhere.
Li Shinian also tried to leave from other places, such as the school’s back gate——The result was not what she wanted.
This guy was a ghost, no matter where she ran to, he jumped out from nowhere.
Also, with the time spent together, Yan Xiangma failed to tame Li Shinian, this small Mustang; however the boy-crazy girls on Li Shinian’s side were all subdued.
In their words: ‘I have never seen such a lowly yet refined man that makes people want to pounce over and kiss his handsome face.’
If you want to please the goddess, you should first take care of her maids.
Don’t ask the silly question that why all goddesses have a little maid.
Evidently, Yan Xiangma has successfully taken this first step.
“Thank you. Thank you beautiful little sister——” Yan Xiangma bowed at the several girls and expressed his thanks with a charming smile. “Tomorrow at noon at Spring Gazing Restaurant, I’ll treat everyone to roast goose.”
“Wow, Yan Young Master has to spend money again.”
Li Shinian, unable to stand listening to them flattering each other, walked in front. She must hurry home, to not let her parents wait at home.
Yan Xiangma cupped one hand in the other, made a wink at the girls, and walked toward Li Shinian in large strides.
Not wanting Yan Xiangma catch up to her, Li Shinian began to speed up her pace.
Yan Xiangma was calm and composed, walked leisurely and unhurried, like the calm wind, along Li Shinian’s side.
The two competed fiercely for a while, until they cast a glance behind, only to see the girls have already disappeared out of sight.
“Ah, Xiao Huan——” Li Shinian cried anxiously, wanting to turn back to look for them.
“No need to look for them.” Yan Xiangma said with a smile. “They won’t follow.”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“What do you want?”
“Oh heavens, am I not obvious? Can’t you see?” Yan Xiangma said with dumbfounded look of surprise. “I don’t have much experience with this sort of things. Am I too shy and reserved? Or should I tell you in person——”
“Don’t.” Li Shinian interrupted: “Don’t speak, even if you do I won’t listen, even if I listen, I won’t agree.”
“I just want to find a place to pee, is that not allowed?” “——”
“Forget it. I will not if you don’t agree. I’ll endure it. Yan Xiangma said in a low voice. “A man’s ability to hold in his urine is determined by his kidney capability, today you can be testimony to that fact.”
Yan Xiangma said with a chuckle: “Shinian, why are you living in the Lu Mansion? What is your family’s relationship with the Lu family?”
“What does my relationship with the Lu family has to do with you?”
“I just asked out of curiosity.” Yan Xiangma’s face suddenly darkened with worry, but he kept his smile as he asked: “Have you had any contact with Li Muyang recently?”
Li Shinian fixed Yan Xiangma with a wary stare. “Yan Xiangma, you came to find me to gather information?”
Li Shinian has been in Tiandu for a period of time now, and had heard the rumours that her brother had killed a very important person of the Cui family. Of course, she did not believe it.
Brother was such a good person, how would he kill someone?
Moreover, even if her brother really killed someone, then that person must be a bad person.
Because of this, ever since she came to Tiandu, she had not met up with Cui Xiaoxin.
In front of vengeance as deep as the bloody ocean, the bond between the old friends of Jiangan were incomparably weak.
The Yan family and the Cui family has a close relationship. Yan Xiangma and the deceased seem to be cousins. The reason he came here everyday and hover around her, was there other reasons?
The relationships in Tiandu are really complicated; Li Shinian, unfamiliar with the place and the people, felt a sense of strangeness and fear toward this huge city.
To her, the most bustling city in West Wind Kingdoms is an empty city. Because there is not a single person she could truly trust and have a heart-to-heart talk with.
Although only a student, she already could sense the oppressive feeling of a storm approaching and the troubles that lies ahead.
Fortunately, for the time being, the Lu family is standing in front, shielding her from the wind and rain. If the Lu family did not help them, most likely her little family of four would be torn apart in a split second by those civilized monsters.
Yan Xiangma reddened with anger, pointing his fan at Li Shinian and saying: “Li Shinian, who do you think I, Yan Xiangma, is? If I wanted to scout out information from you, I can just command someone to interrogate you. I can tell you that I’m a famous hedonistic young master of Jiangnan city and I can do anything.”
“What are you laughing at? I’m serious, I’m really angry.”
Li Shinian stepped forward and patted Yan Xiangma’s arm. “Fine. I said something wrong. I apologise.”
Yan Xiangma was no longer angry, opened his folding fan, and gently moved it in a back and forth motion to his face. “You believe me? You no longer suspect that I’m a spy?”
“You’re not that kind of person.” Li Shinian said with a smile. The young girl smiled sweetly, the bright sunlight shone on her face, giving her a kind of divine and gentle bright luster. “I feel like you won’t do that.”
“You’re intuition is so accurate.” Yan Xiangma said admiringly.
The corner of Li Shinian’s lips quirked into a light smile. “This is Tiandu, a place where everything is out of reach. We are unfamiliar with the people and the place, and can only live in other people’s house and can’t protect ourselves. If you want to obtain something from me, with just a little scheming, I wouldn’t be able to defend myself——There isn’t a need for such huge efforts to stand watch every day at the school gate and climb onto the walls and the trees, right?”
“My brother hasn’t gotten in touch with me.” Li Shinian interrupted Yan Xiangma’s venting. “It’s been a long time, but he hasn’t sent us a letter or told someone to pass a message to us. He doesn’t even know that we’re at Tiandu now——I also don’t know how my brother is now, I really miss him.”
Looking at the girl’s face skewed with unconcealed strong emotions of longing, Yan Xiangma’s heart ached a little, but he forced a smile as he said comfortingly: “Of course your brother will be fine. Do you know that Starry Sky Academy is the most mysterious and most powerful school in the divine continent, I also wanted to go there, but the journey was too long, the school was too remote, so I was too lazy——”
“You were not admitted?” Li Shinian said disdainfully.
“You guessed right again. You really are a worm in my stomach.”
“You’re the worm.”
“Well, then I’ll be the worm in your stomach.”
“It wasn’t me who said it, you said it first.” ——
While quarrelling noisily, Yan Xiangma had already safely escorted Li Shinian to the entrance of Lu Mansion.
Yan Xiangma smiled, saying: “It’s inconvenient for me to go in, we’ll separate here. “See if we’re fateful enough to meet again tomorrow.”
Li Shinian curved her eyes, smiling happily as she said: “We certainly won’t.”
“I don’t believe it.” Yan Xiangma said firmly.
She waved to Yan Xiangma and said: “I’m going in. Goodbye.”
Yan Xiangma smiled and waved back, and then hummed a lively tune and headed down to the West of Xuanwu Street, where Yan Mansion is. That is where his family mansion is.
“Yan Xiangma.” A carriage stopped at his side, and a dignified man’s voice called out: “Get in.”

I demonstrated the skill to you out of kindness, and you secretly picked up my Frost Threaded Hands?\"\n\"Dammit, no wonder I wasn't able to find you for a long time after the banquet started. Confess, when did you sneak into my study?\"\n\"Cheng Jiang, we are fellow apothecaries. If you wish to learn my forging technique, you could have asked me sincerely for it and I might have taught it to you. Yet you chose to entice my apprentice with benefits to obtain my Hundred Intertwining Method. Aren't you being too underhanded!\"\n… A pill forging technique was similar to a fighter's battle techniques. Most of them were exclusive to a certain clan or sect and mustn't be taught to outsiders lightly.\nThis Cheng Jiang actually secretly learned the forging techniques of other apothecaries without their permission, even resorting to stealing to obtain them. Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the entire room burst into outrage.\nEveryone here was a member of the Apothecary Guild and they often exchanged knowledge on the art of pill forging. If he was truly interested in learning their pill forging method, he could indicate his interest, conduct a ceremony to acknowledge the other party as his mentor, and learn their skills. Then their relationship could be annulled and they would still be friends!\n\"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense…\" Sensing the heated atmosphere, anger and fear flashed across Cheng Jiang's face as he hurriedly tried to absolve himself from the accusations.\n\"I'm spouting nonsense?\"\nZhang Xuan walked forward. The corners of his lips crept upwards. \"Just now, to forge Juxi Pill, Apothecary Cheng took a total of 23 medicinal herbs. I shouldn't be mistaken on this aspect!\"\n\"You're right!\"\nAll certified apothecaries were aware of the medicinal herbs required to forge Juxi Pill. This wasn't a secret, thus there was no need to deny it.\n\"When you mixed White Lotus Grass, Wisteria Root, and Golden River Flower together, your pinky was angled backward whereas the tip was bent forward, as though picking a flower. If I'm not wrong, this method is referenced from Apothecary Bai Ming's 【Illusory Silk Hands】!\"\n\"Afterwards, when you extracted the Green Sun Essence, your five fingers opened wide with which you gently stroked the herb, as though extracting frigid air from ice, not daring to exert too much strength. This should be referenced from Apothecary Lin Mu's 【Frost Threaded Hands】!\"\n\"Then, when you added Purple Osmund Grass and White Mane Flower in, to prevent the properties of the two from clashing with one another, you specially circled them twice around the cauldron before throwing them in. Through doing so, not only would the medicinal properties of both be better utilized, they would only lose their violent nature. As such, their properties would not clash with one another. Apothecary Jin Chen's 【Golden Spring Fleeting Cloud Dexterity】 seems identical to this move of yours!\"\n\"After that, when the pill was forged, in order to prevent it from coming into contact with the searing cauldron, you used zhenqi to produce a unique air net with your hands. Even though your movements are inconspicuous, if someone watches closely, they are still recognizable. Apothecary Du Man, isn't that similar to your 【Hundred Intertwining Method】?\"\nZhang Xuan didn't allow the other party to refute his words at all, dumping it all out en masse. At this point, he paused for a moment as he smiled brightly. \"If… Apothecary Cheng thinks what that I just said is nonsense and that I made it all up, the Record Crystal has been recording the entire procedure and we can look through it anytime.

第一百一十四章
“什么？
程江，他说的是不是真的？ 我好心与你探讨炼丹，你竟然偷学我的冰丝凝手？”
“可恶，难怪那日我寿宴开始，久久不见你人在何处，快说，什么时候潜入我书房的？”
“程江，大家都是炼丹师，如果你真想学习手法，好言相告，诚挚恳求，我未必不会给，你诱骗我学徒，以欺诈方式骗取我的百缠手，未免太不厚道了吧！”
炼丹手法和武者的武技一样，很多都属于独门绝技，有着严苛的门派规定，不轻易外传。 ?
听张悬的话语，这位程江，居然不经过其他丹师同意，就私自偷学，甚至各种手段无所不用其极的偷取秘籍，立刻让整个房间炸锅。
大家都是炼丹师公会的成员，平时也经常探讨炼丹之术，如果他真想学，递上拜帖，行半师礼，完全可以传授，事后，也可以取消师徒关系，大家依旧是朋友！ 可这样偷学，和武者偷师一样，犯了大忌。
感受到周围的怒火，程江脸色一阵红一阵白，连连摆手。
“我胡说？”
张悬向前一步，嘴角轻扬：“刚才程丹师为炼制这枚聚息丹，一共拿了二十三样药材，这个我没说错吧！”
“没错！”
炼制聚息丹，需要什么药材，只要是炼丹师几乎都知道，算不上秘密，没必要否认。
“你融合白莲草、紫藤根、金江花三样药材的时候，小拇指微微后仰，指尖弯弓，状如拈花，如果我没看错，这招是借鉴的白明丹师的【千丝幻手】！”
“提取青阳汁液时，五指张开，轻抚而落，像是抽取寒冰中的寒气，不敢太过用力，应该借鉴林墓丹师的冰丝凝手！”
“往丹炉中添加紫薇草、白须花时，为防止两样的药性冲突，专门让其在丹炉的鼎壁上回旋半圈才落下去，这样做，不但可以让药效挥更好，还能让其失去烈性，无法冲突，金辰丹师的金泉流云手，似乎和这招一模一样！”
“丹药出炉，你为了不接触炙热的炉鼎，手掌如同缠丝，真气形成特殊的气网，动作虽然轻微，仔细观察还是能够察觉到，杜满丹师，是不是和你的百缠手如出一辙？”
张悬没给对方辩驳的机会，直接一口气道来，说到这，停顿了了一下，微微一笑，嘴角扬起：“如果……程丹师觉得我是胡说，信口雌黄，咱们这里使用了记录玉晶，可以随时翻阅，大家也可以着重看看我说的那几处，是不是在胡说！”
脸色变得煞白，程江全身不停颤抖。
他知道，对方说的没有丝毫错误！
炼丹师，各自有属于自己的传承，他为了能更快进步，四处偷学，本以为十分隐秘……这家伙怎么知道的？ 而且这么清楚？
一瞬间，他仿佛**裸站在所有人面前，从内心深处生出浓浓的惶恐。
还觉得我胡说？” 不理会变脸的对方，张悬再次向前一步：“如果你觉得，我说的这些都不对，那……你这套融合了大家炼丹方法的‘自创手法’是不是叫【万流归江】？”
程江丹师一个趔趄，摔倒在地。
他这套手法，的确取了名字，就叫万流归江！
前几天刚取好的，从未和别人说过，甚至连他的学徒都不知道，怎么……对方一口说了出来？
能如此观察的细致入微，更知道自己悄悄偷取别人的秘技手法……这家伙是魔鬼吗？ 程江丹师心中满是惊恐。
“万流归江，所有流派都归你程江，好大的口气，真是好手法！”
“偷取我们的手法，融合在一起，就说创出新的手法了，程江，你可真有本事！”
“亏我和你称兄道弟，视你为最好的朋友，没想到这样做，很好！”
“从今天开始，我们的交情恩断义绝！”
看到程江的表情，仔细回忆之前他的手法，众人再分析不出来，真就是傻子了。
在场的诸多炼丹师，一个个气的脸色涨红，眼中带着怒气。
他们算不上什么特别高明的炼丹师，各自的手法，也不是不传之秘，可……这家伙，要学就学，光明正大，被拒绝也没什么，但悄悄在背后偷学，绝对犯了大忌！
不但如此，还猖狂的说自创了手法，创你妹，拿我们这么多人的手法融合在一起形成的大杂烩，就是创出手法？
如果真是这样，天下岂不人人都能创出新的手法？
人怎么可以这么无耻！
众人再次看向程江，再无之前的平等对待，有的只是各种厌恶。
“诸位息怒！”
见众人义愤填膺，张悬笑了笑，打断了他们的话语，转头看向满是不敢相信的程江：“程丹师……我算赢了吗？”
看到他的笑容，程丹师哆嗦了一下：“你赢了……我认输！”
不认输不行，对方的眼力简直就是魔鬼，他生怕再说下去，将会暴露更多秘密，只能连忙答应。
可以预见，这些事情传出去，以后在天玄王国的炼丹师公会，再无立足之地，成为人人喊打的过街老鼠。
甚至，地位和信用也会一扫而光，成为其他人眼中的骗子、坏人。
听他承认，张悬微微一笑。
本来，和众人在一起只是辩丹，没有太过分的冲突，对方人格上的缺陷，他也懒得理会，可这家伙居然咄咄逼人！
想让我难看，开什么玩笑？
做为穿越者，自带金手指，如果让你打脸了，还怎么混？
既然撞到枪口上，那就别怪我不客气，刚好也杀鸡儆猴，也让其他人知道，我张悬……不是那么好得罪的！
“程丹师已经认输！”
张悬环顾一周：“还有谁？”
瞬间，鸦雀无声。

Chapter 114: Convergence of Ten Thousand Tributaries
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Frappe
"What? Cheng Jiang, is what he said true? I demonstrated the skill to you out of kindness, and you secretly picked up my Frost Threaded Hands?"
"Dammit, no wonder I wasn't able to find you for a long time after the banquet started. Confess, when did you sneak into my study?"
"Cheng Jiang, we are fellow apothecaries. If you wish to learn my forging technique, you could have asked me sincerely for it and I might have taught it to you. Yet you chose to entice my apprentice with benefits to obtain my Hundred Intertwining Method. Aren't you being too underhanded!"
… A pill forging technique was similar to a fighter's battle techniques. Most of them were exclusive to a certain clan or sect and mustn't be taught to outsiders lightly.
This Cheng Jiang actually secretly learned the forging techniques of other apothecaries without their permission, even resorting to stealing to obtain them. Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the entire room burst into outrage.
Everyone here was a member of the Apothecary Guild and they often exchanged knowledge on the art of pill forging. If he was truly interested in learning their pill forging method, he could indicate his interest, conduct a ceremony to acknowledge the other party as his mentor, and learn their skills. Then their relationship could be annulled and they would still be friends!
"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense…" Sensing the heated atmosphere, anger and fear flashed across Cheng Jiang's face as he hurriedly tried to absolve himself from the accusations.
"I'm spouting nonsense?"
Zhang Xuan walked forward. The corners of his lips crept upwards. "Just now, to forge Juxi Pill, Apothecary Cheng took a total of 23 medicinal herbs. I shouldn't be mistaken on this aspect!"
"You're right!"
All certified apothecaries were aware of the medicinal herbs required to forge Juxi Pill. This wasn't a secret, thus there was no need to deny it.
"When you mixed White Lotus Grass, Wisteria Root, and Golden River Flower together, your pinky was angled backward whereas the tip was bent forward, as though picking a flower. If I'm not wrong, this method is referenced from Apothecary Bai Ming's 【Illusory Silk Hands】!"
"Afterwards, when you extracted the Green Sun Essence, your five fingers opened wide with which you gently stroked the herb, as though extracting frigid air from ice, not daring to exert too much strength. This should be referenced from Apothecary Lin Mu's 【Frost Threaded Hands】!"
"Then, when you added Purple Osmund Grass and White Mane Flower in, to prevent the properties of the two from clashing with one another, you specially circled them twice around the cauldron before throwing them in. Through doing so, not only would the medicinal properties of both be better utilized, they would only lose their violent nature. As such, their properties would not clash with one another. Apothecary Jin Chen's 【Golden Spring Fleeting Cloud Dexterity】 seems identical to this move of yours!"
"After that, when the pill was forged, in order to prevent it from coming into contact with the searing cauldron, you used zhenqi to produce a unique air net with your hands. Even though your movements are inconspicuous, if someone watches closely, they are still recognizable. Apothecary Du Man, isn't that similar to your 【Hundred Intertwining Method】?"
Zhang Xuan didn't allow the other party to refute his words at all, dumping it all out en masse. At this point, he paused for a moment as he smiled brightly. "If… Apothecary Cheng thinks what that I just said is nonsense and that I made it all up, the Record Crystal has been recording the entire procedure and we can look through it anytime. Everyone can bear testimony to whether the words I've been saying are nonsense!" "You…"
Cheng Jiang face paled and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He knew that what the other party said was completely true!
Apothecaries had their own schools and inheritances. In order to improve swiftly, he went around stealing other people's techniques. He thought that he had done it very secretly… How did this fellow know?
In an instant, he felt like he was standing nude before everyone else. A deep feeling of fear rose from the depths of his heart.
"What? Do you still think I'm spouting nonsense?" Ignoring the other party whose face had paled to the extreme at this moment, Zhang Xuan stepped forward. "If you think there's any mistake in what I've said… is this forging technique that you 'self-created' through merging everyone's forging techniques called 【Convergence of Ten Thousand Tributaries】?"
Apothecary Cheng Jiang staggered and fell to the floor.
The name he had come up with for this forging technique was indeed 【Convergence of Ten Thousand Tributaries】!
It was a name he had come up with a few days ago and he had yet to tell anyone about it. In fact, not even his apprentices knew of it, so why… does the other party know the name?
To be able to see through everything down to the very details such that him stealing the other people's forging technique was unable to escape his eyes…. Was this fellow a demon?
"Convergence of Ten Thousand Tributaries—you utilized all of the different techniques to forge that river of yours. How arrogant! It sure is an incredible forging technique!"
"To steal our forging techniques, integrate them together as one and claim that you have created a new forging technique. Cheng Jiang, you sure are capable!"
"To think that I've regarded you as my brother and my best buddy, yet you chose to do this to me. Fine!"
"From now on, our relationship is severed!"
Upon seeing the expression on Cheng Jiang's face and recalling the movements he made while forging the pill recently, they would truly be fools if they were still unable to understand the situation.
The faces of the apothecaries here turned red in fury. Their wrathful eyes fixated on Cheng Jiang.
They weren't exceptionally skilled apothecaries and their forging techniques were not really secrets that must not be leaked to the outside. But… this fellow, if he had expressed his desire to learn their techniques, getting rejected wasn't really a big deal. However, his actions of learning their techniques behind their back was definitely something an apothecary should never do!
Not only that, he had even arrogantly bragged that he had created a new technique by himself. Created, your head! You simply took all of our techniques to form a hodgepodge. You call that creating a new technique?
Not to mention, naming it Convergence of Ten Thousand Tributaries…
How can anyone be that shameless!
At this point, they no longer viewed Cheng Jiang as their equal. Disgust was the only thing that could be seen on their faces.
"Please calm down!"
Upon seeing the indignation of the crowd, Zhang Xuan smiled. He interjected into their commotion and turned to look at Cheng Jiang, who was still in a state of disbelief. "Apothecary Cheng Jiang… is this considered my victory?"
Seeing his smile, Apothecary Cheng Jiang shuddered. "You win…. I admit defeat!"
He has no choice but to admit defeat. The other party's ability to discern had already reached the level of demons. He feared that if he continued competing with him, more of his secrets would be revealed. As such, he could only hurriedly nod his head.
It was foreseeable that once news of these matters spread, he would lose his standing within Tianxuan Kingdom's Apothecary Guild. He would be shunned and viewed with contempt by all.
All credibility and reputation he had built up throughout the years would be completely destroyed and others would just think of him as a fraud and villain.
Upon his surrender, Zhang Xuan smiled.
Initially, he didn't have any serious conflict with any of them so he couldn't be bothered with the other party's personality flaws. Yet, this fellow tried to take advantage of the situation to force him into a corner!
'You want to humiliate me? Try it then!
'As a transcender with a golden ring, how can I allow myself to be humiliated by you like this?
'Since you decided to charge straight at me, don't blame me for not going easy on you. It just happens that I can use you to warn the others that I, Zhang Xuan… am not an easy target!'
"Apothecary Cheng has admitted defeat!"
Zhang Xuan surveyed the surroundings. "Anyone else?"
In that instant, the room fell utterly silent.

I wanted to warn you, but Yang Qingqing was threatening me! I did not do anything!\" The woman stunned, but she immediately frantically cried.\nJiang Liushi wanted nothing more than to kill her! However, she didn't want to die!\nAt first, the other survivors felt thoroughly confused, but after those revelations they could imagine what had happened. Did Yang Qingqing want to kill Jiang Liushi and rob his car?\nAt that moment, a survivor looked at the woman with a complex expression and said, \"No wonder you were always talking about Yang Qingqing like that. You had already formed a plan!\"\n\"You are truly despicable and shameless. You have a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions. Brother Jiang saved her when we went to Satellite Town!

As the truth, finally, came out they realized that Yang Qingqing's crime deserved more than death.\nJiang Liushi killing her was justified, if he let her live then he'd be the one without a complete body to bury...\nAll of a sudden, the survivors became angry. They were blindsided by Yang Qingqing's suggestions, she didn't care about their benefits, only for herself. Selfishness was hateful. If something had happened to Jiang Liushi, how would Jiang Zhuying react?\nAfter all, Jiang Zhuying was their main hope for survival. Yang Qingqing's vicious acts would implicate them. As a result, they could only cast all their anger to Yang Qingqing's subordinate.\n\"It's not like that!\" The woman looked at the enraged survivors, and then she was weeping toward Jiang Zhuying,\"Zhuying! Zhuying! You have to listen to me! We are friends! We are like sisters!\"\nJiang Zhuying was usually fairly calm and decisive, after all, she was a young girl with a relatively soft heart. However, this time, she was silently watching her with a cold look.

Ah!\" Ten seconds later, the woman's screams were heard far away by Zhang Hai. For them, the woman was not worthy of their sympathy…\nEven though the survivors had not seen the scene with their own eyes, they could imagine what she was about to face.\nAs far as Jiang Liushi was concerned, they were in awe with him. Jiang Liushi's strength had been confirmed. He had decisively killed Yang Qingqing and that woman, which earned more respect. That was also a warning for others who might have had similar ideas...\n\"Would Brother Jiang like to join our team?\"\n\"I don't know, but I hope so.\"\n\"It would be quite great if Brother Jiang would like to join us.\" The survivors privately discussed secretly.\nThey were eagerly looking forward to Jiang Liushi joining their camp.\nActually, the zombie-intensive area was downtown, which was the real living restricted area…\nAfter resting for a night in the villa, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun quickly set off on the next morning.\nThey only drove a freezer, and did not carry any materials, then they went to Satellite Town to find buyers.\nZhang Hai had strengthened the freezer once, so their protection had been improved a little. If it was the minibus, there would be no need to add the word 'should'!\nLast time when they went to Satellite Town, they had accidentally met the mutant beast, but such a beast was pretty rare to find, so their chances of having an accidental encounter were very low.\nEspecially because there were only the two of them, without carrying mutant beast meat, the possibility of meeting a mutant beast was even lower.\nSo as long as they were careful, they would be fine."

第一百零二章
杨青青……死了？ 事情也都败露了？
跟我没关系！ 我本来是想警告你们的，但是杨青青她威胁我！ 我什么都没做啊！”
江流石要杀她！ 她不想死啊！
想夺走江流石的车？
这时一名幸存者神情复杂地开口道：“怪不得你一直在说这次的事情，原来你们两个合起伙来，想杀人夺车！ “你跟杨青青这样，也太不讲良心了吧！
妈＠的，真是蛇蝎心肠！ 江哥之前去卫星城的时候，也算是救了她的命！ 不然以她的身手，草，等死吧！”
他和孙坤，只知道杨青青看不惯江流石，却不知道，她居然还存了这么毒辣的心思。
之前他们猜到杨青青被江流石所杀时，只是感慨江流石下手够狠，不能招惹，只是反对他都不行，但现在一听，杨青青根本就是该死。
江流石是不好惹，但也不是不讲理的人，他杀杨青青，无可厚非。 这些幸存者，也一下子愤怒了。
杨青青这么做，根本就没有考虑任何后果，完全就是自私自利。 江流石如果出了事，江竹影会如何反应？
他们的生存希望，就是这些异能者，其中最重要的，当然就是江竹影。 杨青青的恶毒心思，完全会牵连到他们，只是她根本不在乎罢了。
不是的！” 这女人怨毒地看了一眼那名“出卖”她的幸存者，然后对着江竹影哀嚎起来，“竹影，竹影，你听我说！ 我们不是姐妹吗？
我们也是同生共死过来的啊！” 江竹影平时还算好说话，而且看似冷静果断，但毕竟是个年轻少女，心肠比较软，说不定，会不忍心杀她。 然而这次，这女人一看到江竹影，心就一下子沉到底了。
江竹影的心地是很善良，但那也要分是什么事情！
试图害她哥哥，这已经完全触及到她的底线了。
江竹影的底线，就是江流石！
“你不找杨青青了？” 江流石微笑地看着这女人在这大叫，疑惑地问道。
“不！ 不不不！ 我不找她！
她好不容易活下来了，不能在这种时候因为这种事死去啊！
“张海，过来一下。”
按江流石的本意，他原本是想一枪崩了这女人的。
几分钟后，在小区外面，这女人被从车上丢下来，扔在了大马路上。
“我们营地容不下你了，你自己走吧。” 这女人站在那里，面如土色，体若筛糠。
让她自己走？
呵呵……这还不如一枪杀了她！
可是丢下她后，那辆车就毫不犹豫地调头了。
她还轮不到江流石亲自来“送”，而是张海他们代劳了。 丢她下车，就跟丢垃圾没什么区别。
这时候，远处的十几只丧尸中，其中一只丧尸缓缓地回过头来。
看到那张狰狞的面孔，这女人已经忍不住哭了。
一瞬间，像是连锁反应一样，那十几只丧尸都猛地转过了头来。
这些丧尸在没有猎物出现的时候，只会慢慢晃荡，但是一看到猎物，它们就会立刻爆发出比短跑冠军还要强的速度，以及惊人的力量。
“啊啊啊！” 十几秒后，这女人的惨叫声，就远远传入了张海他们的耳中。
那些幸存者看着那女人被带走了，他们虽然没有亲眼所见，但也大概能想象到她即将面临的下场是什么。
江流石的实力已经得到了证实，而他果断杀掉杨青青和那女人的举动，则震慑了所有人。 一些人虽然对江流石的车没有觊觎之心，但也好奇过，现在也将好奇心打消了。
“江哥应该会加入我们队伍吧？”
“还不知道，希望吧。”
“没了杨青青，要是能换进来一个江哥，那可太好了。” 这些幸存者们，私底下偷偷商量着。
他们现在迫切地期待着江流石的加入。
真正丧尸密集的市中心，那才是真正的活人禁区。
在别墅营地内休息了一晚，第二天一早，张海和孙坤二人就赶紧出发了。
他们只开了一辆冰柜车，没有携带任何物资，轻装出行，前去卫星城寻找买家。
真是车比车得扔，如果是中巴车，哪用得着加“应该”两个字？ 就是肯定没问题！
上次去卫星城，他们是意外碰见了变异兽，不过变异兽可不是经常都能碰见的，准确地说，意外碰见的几率其实是很低的。
特别是就他们两个人，又没有携带任何变异兽肉的时候，引来变异兽的可能性就更低了。
所以就他们两人去，只要够小心，不会有太大的问题。

Chapter 102: Reaping What You Sow
[Is Yang Qingqing really dead? Were her intentions discovered?]
"No! No! I had nothing to do with it. I wanted to warn you, but Yang Qingqing was threatening me! I did not do anything!" The woman stunned, but she immediately frantically cried.
Jiang Liushi wanted nothing more than to kill her! However, she didn't want to die!
At first, the other survivors felt thoroughly confused, but after those revelations they could imagine what had happened. Did Yang Qingqing want to kill Jiang Liushi and rob his car?
At that moment, a survivor looked at the woman with a complex expression and said, "No wonder you were always talking about Yang Qingqing like that. You had already formed a plan!"
"You are truly despicable and shameless. You have a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions. Brother Jiang saved her when we went to Satellite Town! If he hadn't helped her she would have a miserable death, "Zhang Hai cursed.
He and Sun Kun just knew that Yang Qingqing disliked Jiang Liushi, but they didn't know that she actually had such sinister thoughts.
They had guessed that Yang Qingqing was killed by Jiang Liushi but they had thought that he was easily provoked, but he wasn't an unreasonable person. As the truth, finally, came out they realized that Yang Qingqing's crime deserved more than death.
Jiang Liushi killing her was justified, if he let her live then he'd be the one without a complete body to bury...
All of a sudden, the survivors became angry. They were blindsided by Yang Qingqing's suggestions, she didn't care about their benefits, only for herself. Selfishness was hateful. If something had happened to Jiang Liushi, how would Jiang Zhuying react?
After all, Jiang Zhuying was their main hope for survival. Yang Qingqing's vicious acts would implicate them. As a result, they could only cast all their anger to Yang Qingqing's subordinate.
"It's not like that!" The woman looked at the enraged survivors, and then she was weeping toward Jiang Zhuying,"Zhuying! Zhuying! You have to listen to me! We are friends! We are like sisters!"
Jiang Zhuying was usually fairly calm and decisive, after all, she was a young girl with a relatively soft heart. However, this time, she was silently watching her with a cold look. Jiang Zhuying hadn't used her electricity to kill her, which was already a good thing!
Jiang Zhuying's heart was very kind, but it depended on the occasion and seriousness of the matter!
Having thoughts about killing her brother? They had touched her reverse scale!
Jiang ZhuYing's bottom line was her brother, nothing else mattered to her!
"Didn't you want to go and find Yang Qingqing?" Jiang Liushi looked at the woman with a strange smile.
"No! No! I don't want to find her anymore! She was a b*tch! It's none of my business! Even if I said those words, I did not do anything!" The woman's tears and mucus were flowing down rapidly.
She had survived for so long from the zombies and mutant beast, but in the end she would die because of greed. What a joke!
"Zhang Hai, come over."
Jiang Liushi was planning to directly kill the woman on the spot, but as all of the survivors would witness it he changed his mind.
A few minutes later, outside of the district, the woman was dropped from a car on the road.
"Our camp cannot keep vile creatures like you, we will part ways here." That woman stood there, her face turning white.
She was ostracized… It would be much better if they had killed her on the spot!
"Do not, please, I ..."
Unfortunately, the car had already left her far behind.
She did not get the chance to be 'sent' by Jiang Liushi, Zhang Hai had transported her. Throwing her off, just like throwing garbage. There was not much of a difference.
At that time, more than a dozen zombies could be seen in the distance and one of them slowly turned back.
Seeing that grim face, the woman could not help but cry…
Like a chain reaction, more zombies suddenly turned their heads.
Whenever there was no prey to hunt, the zombies would not move much in order to conserve energy, but a prey appeared, they would immediately burst out in extreme speeds; they were faster than a sprint champion, bursting with amazing power.
"Oh! Ah!" Ten seconds later, the woman's screams were heard far away by Zhang Hai. For them, the woman was not worthy of their sympathy…
Even though the survivors had not seen the scene with their own eyes, they could imagine what she was about to face.
As far as Jiang Liushi was concerned, they were in awe with him. Jiang Liushi's strength had been confirmed. He had decisively killed Yang Qingqing and that woman, which earned more respect. That was also a warning for others who might have had similar ideas...
"Would Brother Jiang like to join our team?"
"I don't know, but I hope so."
"It would be quite great if Brother Jiang would like to join us." The survivors privately discussed secretly.
They were eagerly looking forward to Jiang Liushi joining their camp.
Actually, the zombie-intensive area was downtown, which was the real living restricted area…
After resting for a night in the villa, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun quickly set off on the next morning.
They only drove a freezer, and did not carry any materials, then they went to Satellite Town to find buyers.
Zhang Hai had strengthened the freezer once, so their protection had been improved a little. If it was the minibus, there would be no need to add the word 'should'!
Last time when they went to Satellite Town, they had accidentally met the mutant beast, but such a beast was pretty rare to find, so their chances of having an accidental encounter were very low.
Especially because there were only the two of them, without carrying mutant beast meat, the possibility of meeting a mutant beast was even lower.
So as long as they were careful, they would be fine.

"value": "Chapter 287: The Benefits of the Champion\nChapter 287: The Benefits of the Champion\nXiao Yan’s gaze stared lazily at this black colored broken jade piece. He randomly held it in his hand. The jade piece that entered his hand was not smooth. Instead, it was covered with tiny granules and appeared as if the material was not very good. Moreover, there were some faint crack lines on the jade piece. Between the gaps there were even some soil stains.\nAs he played with the jade piece, Xiao Yan’s eyebrows were knit together. From his senses, he appeared to feel that this thing was somewhat strange. However, he was unable to say where it was strange. His Spiritual Strength explored around it, but found no activity nor did he receive any information.\n“Don’t tell me that I have sensed wrongly?” Xiao Yan uncertainly muttered in his heart. His finger slowly cut across the jade piece. He wanted to put it down, yet his palm could not throw it aside. A long while later, he helplessly shook his head and eyed the man who was staring at him anxiously. His hand randomly chose a few medicinal ingredients that looked barely acceptable. After which, he waved at the young man, smiled and asked, “Do you want to exchange for items or sell them?”\n“Grandmaster, I want to exchange them for a tier three medicinal pill.” Hearing this, the young man’s spirit rose. Immediately, he smiled awkwardly as he spoke. He knew in his heart that these medicinal ingredients did not appear to be worth a tier three medicinal pill.\nXiao Yan indifferently glanced at him. He placed the things in his hands into the storage ring. After which, he easily took out a bottle which only had three ‘Energy Recovery Pills’. He tossed it to the man and said, “These are tier three medicinal pills, ‘Energy Recovery Pill’. It can swiftly recover Dou Qi that has been depleted. As it belonged to the more common consumption type medicinal pill, I will give you three of them.”\nThe man scrambled to received the bottle. A joy that was difficult to hide appeared on his face. Three ‘Energy Recovery Pills’. If one were to discuss about its price, it would not be lower than forty thousand gold coins. Counting in this manner, he had profited by a lot. Immediately, he hurriedly bent his body toward Xiao Yan who was already walking off and bowed.\nXiao Yan left the counter in this area and headed out of the eastern area. His finger rubbed on the storage ring and the piece of black colored broken jade piece once again appeared in his palm. He frowned and played with it in his hand. A moment later, he still had no clue and could only sigh disappointedly as he held it.\nStanding in the middle of the hall, Xiao Yan was at a loss as he looked around him. He mused for a moment before pulling over a delicate and pretty lady who appeared to be a female servant and softly inquired about the position of the Head of the Alchemist Association Branch at Black Rock City.\nAlthough this female servant, who appeared to be busy with something, was somewhat angry at being suddenly stopped, her pretty face immediately revealed some respect when she saw the tier two alchemist badge on Xiao Yan’s chest. Her delicate finger pointed at the western area where the human flow was extremely low. With a gentle voice, she said, “That place is the area where the heads of the various Alchemist Association Branches in the Jia Ma Empire is at. However, only alchemist tier three and above have the qualification to enter.”\n“Haha, thank you very much.” Xiao Yan said his thanks, lifted his feet and walked toward the quiet western area. When he was about to enter, he was unsurprisingly blocked by the two guards at the entrance.\n“May I trouble you to help me inform Grandmasters Frank or Ao Tuo from Black Rock City that Xiao Yan has come to see them.” Eyeing the two icy expressions of the guards, Xiao Yan said with a smile.\nThe two guards eyes glanced at the tier two alchemist badge on Xiao Yan’s chest and then swept across the young face. Their eyes revealed quite a bit of shock. Becoming a tier two alchemist at such a young age was something that was really rarely seen. Immediately, the coldness on their faces melted a little. They nodded slightly and after asking him to wait, one of them stepped back and swiftly climbed up some stairs.\nXiao Yan inserted his hands into his sleeves as he stood at the entrance. His eyes were closed as he quietly waited.\nNot long after the guard climbed up the stairs, a wave of hurried footsteps swiftly sounded. A moment later, an old figure was first to appear in Xiao Yan’s sight. A joy covered his face.\nThe old man quickly came to the entrance. His gaze swept around but did not see the person that he wanted to meet. The smile on his face stiffened as he frowned. He faced the guard beside him and softly reproved, “Where is he? Don’t tell me that he was ousted by you people?”\n“Grandmaster Ao Tou.” Hearing the old man reprove, Xiao Yan smiled and cried out.\n“You…” Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Ao Tuo was at a loss. His gaze doubtfully eyed this young stranger in front of him. A long while later, he finally said in a stunned voice, “Xiao Yan? Why have you turned yourself into this manner?”\nXiao Yan smiled and shook his head. He softly said to Ao Tuo, “I will tell you later. There are many eyes looking around here.”\n“Uh… follow me in.” Hearing this, Ao Tuo took the hint and nodded. He turned his head and fiercely said to the two guards, “The both of you heard nothing. Do you understand?”\nSeeing Ao Tuo’s fierce and vicious manner, the two cold faced guards bitterly smiled. Immediately, they wisely nodded their heads. After being a guard for so many years, they naturally knew what was taboo.\nThis action of Ao Tuo caused Xiao Yan to nod his head slightly. Ao Tuo was indeed someone who could become the deputy chairman of the Alchemist Association Branch at Black Rock City. When he did something, he ensured that it was watertight.\nFollowing behind Ao Dou, Xiao Yan slowly walked up the stairs. Only when the human flow around them became scarce did Ao Tuo softly asked, “Xiao Yan, why did you turn yourself into this manner? Don’t tell me that you have offended someone? Tell me about it. In this Jia Ma Empire Sacred City, the words from me, Ao Tuo, do have some weight.”\n“Hehe, thank you Grandmaster Ao Tuo. It’s just some private matter. I don’t want someone to recognize my identity.” Xiao Yan shook his head and rejected Ao Tuo’s good intention.\n“So it’s like this? Then it’s up to you.” Hearing Xiao Yan’s intention to reject, Ao Tuo did not insist. His old and sharp gaze slowly swept across Xiao Yan. A while later, his voice had a shock that could not be covered, “What a great little fellow. After not seeing you for a year, your strength has actually soared, The current you should at least have the strength of a five star Dou Shi, right?”\n“I was merely lucky.” Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled.\n“Tsk tsk, what a great little boy. This kind of talent really stuns everyone. I wonder which old fellow had the luck to find such a good student.” Ao Tuo said as he praised unceasingly. His face was filled with envy.\nXiao Yan smiled, but did not chip in on this topic. His footsteps moved at a comfortable pace as he moved in parallel to Ao Tuo.\nHearing this, Xiao Yan was dumbfounded as he involuntarily laughed. He had already knew that once Xue Mei returned, she would definitely receive a huge scolding. A tier four medicinal formula was not an ordinary thing.\nXiao Yan stepped into this spacious room. His gaze swept across it and finally stopped at the middle of the room. There, Frank, who was wearing an alchemist’s long robe, was sending his saliva flying everywhere. His old face was green as he furiously slammed the table. In front of him, Xue Mei’s hands were still holding the ‘Lotus Blossom Flame Seed’ while she remained silent and allowed Frank to scold angrily.\nAt the other corner of the table, a lady wearing a red colored clothes was gloatingly watching Xue Mei who was being scolded. When she heard the door opening, she swiftly shifted her gaze over. Her sight swept across Xiao Yan’s body behind Ao Tuo. Immediately, she murmured with the corner of her mouth and said, “Teacher, is this the person who requested for you to personally go down to receive him? What a large face he has…”\nHearing her voice, Frank, who was giving a big reprimand immediately paused. His gaze turned to Xiao Yan and said with surprise, “Old Ao, who is this?” Seeing his manner, they were apparently ignorant of who was coming up when the guard had informed them.\nSeeing the numerous surprised gazes, Xiao Yan touched at the area around his neck and moved. A moment later, he pulled down the mask, revealing his delicate and handsome face which had a fair complexion.\n“Grandmaster Frank. After not seeing you for a year, you are becoming stronger in your old age.” Xiao Yan returned the ice silk dough into his storage ring and said with a smile to Frank.\n“Xiao Yan? It is actually you, little fellow. I thought you wouldn’t be coming.” Eyeing the face that had a diminished tenderness compared to a year ago, Frank was stunned before he immediately said with great joy.\nXiao Yan smiled and slowly walked forward. He eyed Xue Mei, who appeared glamorous and moving in her silver colored dress. She had also turned her curious gaze over to him. As their eyes met, they courteously smiled at each other.\n“Grandmaster Frank, this kind of ‘Peach Blossom Flame’ may not be considered a strong flame, but it is undoubtedly much stronger than an ordinary flame that was catalyzed from Dou Qi. Moreover, this kind of flame is less frantic compared to other flames, being finer and smoother instead. It is quite suitable to be used to refine medicinal pills. Although a tier four medicinal formula is extremely valuable, grandmaster must have already read it. With your ability, you should be able to prepare another copy if you spend some time.” Xiao Yan smiled and said to Frank as he eyed the pink colored flame seed in Xue Mei’s hand.\n“Ah, this is the only thing that I can do. But without at least half a year, it is impossible to prepare another tier four medicinal formula again. It is too troublesome to create that thing.” Frank helplessly shook his head and finally ceased his scolding.\nSeeing that her Teacher had stopped reprimanding her, Xue Mei also sighed in relief. She faced Xiao Yan and gratefully smiled. Her icy pretty face appeared even more moving.\n“You actually interceded on Xue Mei’s behalf? Have you taken a fancy to her?”\nBeing the enemy of Xue Mei, Lin Fei naturally was not happy to see her escape like this. She hurriedly leaped forward. Her hands held her waist as she stared at Xiao Yan’s delicate and handsome face. Her heart inexplicable muttered quietly to herself, “Why does this guy look even better than before?”\nXiao Yan was not overly concerned about Lin Fei who was like a female cat. His gaze stared at her delicate and pretty face until her face could not help but be flooded with some scarlet color. Only then did he laugh loudly and turn his gaze aside, leaving Lin Fei to stand on the same spot with her crimson face as she angrily stomped her little feet.\n“Ke ke, Xiao Yan. The reason for your coming to the Jia Ma Scared City should be because of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, right?” Pulling Lin Fei aside, Ao Tuo sat on a chair and laughed.\nHearing these words of Ao Tuo, the eyes of Frank at the side also brightened. He hurriedly turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan. He naturally knew what kind of outstanding refining talent that this little fellow possessed. If he wanted to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, he would be a popular choice of becoming the champion.\nXiao Yan smiled and gently tapped his finger on the table. He smiled and said, “What benefits do I have for participating in this Grand Meeting? Don’t tell me that it is only to compete for fame? I am not really interested in that.”\n“Uh?” Hearing this, Ao Tuo and Frank were blank. They said in a stunned voice, “If you are able to stand out in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, your future will be really smooth. When that time comes, an unknown number of strong strengths would invite you to join them… and your reputation and status in the Jia Ma Empire would swiftly be raised.”\n“You should know that Pill-King Gu He came to fame in such a manner back then.”\n“I’m sorry. I don’t like to join and rely on any strength.” Xiao Yan shook his head and stretched his lazy waist. He said with a smile, “Therefore, please tell me what kind of substantial benefits there are.”\n“Hey, aren’t you a little too realistic?” In the corner, Lin Fei knit her eyebrows and said annoyingly when she heard Xiao Yan being so forthright.\nXiao Yan waved his hand and ignored her.\n“Ah, you little fellow… really won’t act until you have identified your target.” Ao Tuo smiled bitterly and exchanged glances with Frank. He helplessly shook his head and slowly said, “According to the rules, each season’s Alchemist Grand Meeting champion will become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Association and enjoy the same welfare and authority as other elders of similar grade. At that time, you would be able to obtain the help within your authority at any Alchemist Association Branch in the Jia Ma Empire. Additionally, you will be able to have priority in exchanging for the rare medicinal ingredients in the association’s warehouse.”\n“Oh right, in the entire of the Jia Ma Empire, the number of people who have the qualification to enjoy such a treatment would not exceed fifteen. As long as you become the Alchemist Association honorary elder, any strength would think carefully before touching you. Remember, this is any strength, including the royalty and the Misty Cloud Sect! Our Alchemist Association has the qualification to say this.”\nXiao Yan’s finger that was tapping the table’s surface suddenly paused. He pursed up his lips and the glow in his eyes flickered. After Ao Tuo had said up to this point, Xiao Yan’s heart had gradually felt a little moved. He knew that he would sooner or later stand opposing to the Misty Cloud Sect. At such a time, if he had the support of this strength, which could cause the Misty Cloud Sect to think twice, it would naturally help him save a lot of trouble.\nSeeing that Xiao Yan was obviously somewhat interested, Ao Tuo sighed slightly in his heart. He smiled and threw the last temptation, “Additionally, the reward for the champion this season would be a medicinal formula for a tier six medicinal pill.”\n“A medicinal formula for a tier six medicinal pill?” Xiao Yan’s eyes shrunk slightly. He slowly inhaled a breath of cold air. The price of a medicinal formula of this tier would not lose to that of a Di class Dou Technique.\n“What kind of medicinal formula? What use does it have?” Xiao Yan cautiously inquired. Although a tier six medicinal formula was rare, it was also necessary to consider the effect of the medicinal pill. Take the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ of Hai Bo Dong the last time. It belonged to a slightly unorthodox medicinal formula and its value is at most similar to a tier five medicinal formula.”\n“‘Thawing Spirit Pill’, a kind of medicinal pill that can let the spirit and the physical body merge together. Its medicinal effect is a little unorthodox, but for a spiritual body, it is a perfect, saint-like medicine. Not only would it cause the spirit to swiftly recover, but it is also able to completely repair all the damage that the spirit has received.”\n“Spiritual body? Recovering spiritual strength?” Xiao Yan was extremely sensitive as he grasped these two key phrases. His heart gradually jumped intensely.\n“Brat, get your hands on the medicinal formula for this ‘Thawing Spirit Pill’ and I will not kill you in the future!”\nJust as Xiao Yan was moved by these two ample condition, his hands, which were in the sleeves, suddenly became cold. A weak spiritual message that carried some enchanting taste was transmitted into his mind."

第两百八十七章
第两百八十七章
目光懒散的盯着这片黑色的残破玉片，萧炎随意的将之握在手中，玉片入手，并不光滑，反而布满着细小的颗粒，似乎材质并不太好，并且在那玉片之上，还隐隐布着许些裂缝，缝隙间，居然还沾着沙土。
把玩着玉片，萧炎眉头微皱，凭着直觉，他似乎觉得这东西略微有些奇异，可何处奇异，却又是说不上来，灵魂力量探了一圈，却是没有任何的动静，也没有接收到什么信息。 “难道感觉错了？”
心中疑惑的喃喃了一声，萧炎手指缓缓的在玉片之上划过，想将之放下，手掌却总是丢不下去，半晌后，无奈的摇了摇头，抬头望了一眼那正眼巴巴盯着自己的男子，手掌随便的在石台上挑选了几种勉强能过眼的药材，然后冲着男子扬了扬，笑道：“你是想交换物品，还是想出售？” “大师，我想换一种三品丹药。”
闻言，男子精神一振，旋即讪讪的笑道，他心中也知道，这些药材，似乎还不值三品丹药的价。
淡淡的瞟了一眼他，萧炎将手中的东西收进纳戒之中，然后顺手掏出一瓶仅有三粒的回气丹，将之抛向男子，道：“这是三品丹药回气丹，能够快速的恢复消耗的斗气，因为是属于比较常见的消耗型丹药，给你三枚吧。”
手忙脚乱的接过瓶子，男子脸庞上的喜悦难以掩饰，三枚回气丹，论起价值来，不会低于四万金币，这般算起来，他倒还是赚了许多，当下急忙对着萧炎那慵懒转身的背影弯身行礼。
离开了这处石台，萧炎顺势出了东区，手指在纳戒之上抚摸着，那块黑色的残破玉片再度出现在掌心中，微皱着眉头在手中把玩着，片刻后，却依然是没有什么头绪，萧炎只得颓丧的叹了一口气，将之收了起来。
站在大厅中央，萧炎茫然四顾，沉吟了一会，然后扯过一名看似是侍女的清秀女子，低声询问了一下黑岩城的分会会长所在的位置。
虽然被忽然拉住，这位似乎有着急事的侍女有些微怒，不过当瞧得萧炎胸口处的二品徽章后，俏脸上顿时流露出许些敬畏，纤指指向那处人流最为细小的西区，柔声道：“那里便是加玛帝国各处分会会长的区域，不过只有三品以上的炼药师，方才能有资格进入。” “呵呵，多谢了。”
道谢了一声，萧炎举步走向那安静的西区，在即将进入之前，不出意外的被门口的两名护卫拦了下来。
“麻烦帮我通报一声黑岩城的弗兰克大师或者奥托大师，就说萧炎来见。” 望着两名脸色冷漠的守卫，萧炎笑道。
目光瞟过萧炎胸前的二品炼药师徽章，再扫着他那年轻的脸庞，两名守卫眼中露出许些惊异，如此年轻便是二品炼药师，还真是挺少见的，当下脸庞上的冷漠也是融化了一点，微微点了点头，说了一声稍等之后，一人退后，然后迅速闪进楼上。
双手缩进袖间，萧炎站在门口处，微闭着眼眸，安静的等待着。
在那名守卫上楼之后不久，一阵急促的脚踏声便是快速的响了起来，片刻后，一道苍老的身影，便是率先出现在了萧炎视线之内，脸庞之上，布满着欣喜。
老者快速的来到大门处，目光扫了扫，却并未见到想见的人，脸庞上的笑意微僵，微皱着眉头对着一旁的守卫低斥道：“人呢？ 你们不会给我把人撵走了吧？”
“奥托大师。” 听得老者的呵斥，萧炎笑了笑，出口喊道。
“你…”听得这略微有些熟悉的喊声，奥托愣了愣，目光疑惑的望着面前这陌生的青年，好半晌后，方才愕然道：“萧炎？ 你怎么弄成这模样了？”
萧炎笑着摇了摇头，对着他低声道：“待会与你说吧，这里人多眼杂。”
“呃…那跟我进来吧。” 闻言，奥托心领神会的点了点头，偏头对着两名守卫凶道：“你们两个什么都没听见，知道么？”
瞧得奥托那凶神恶煞的模样，两名脸庞冷漠的护卫苦笑了一声，旋即聪明的点了点头，当了这么多年的守卫，他们自然是知道一些忌讳。
奥托这举动，让得萧炎微微点了点头，不愧是能够成为黑岩城炼药师副会长的人物，做事倒还真的是滴水不漏。
跟在奥托身后，萧炎两人缓缓的行上楼梯，待得周围人流稀少之后，奥托方才低声问道：“萧炎啊，你怎么弄成这样子了？ 难道得罪人了？
“呵呵，多谢奥托大师了，一点私事，不想被认出身份来而已。” 萧炎笑着摇了摇头，婉拒了奥托的好意。
那也随你吧。” 听出萧炎的婉拒之意，奥托也不再坚持，老辣的目光缓缓的扫过萧炎，半晌后，声音中有着掩饰不住的惊诧：“好小子啊，一年不见，实力大涨啊？ 现在的你，恐怕至少五星斗师实力吧？”
“侥幸而已。” 萧炎摇了摇头，微笑道。
“啧啧，真是个不错的小家伙啊，这等天赋，真是让人目瞪口呆，不知道是哪个老家伙，有幸找到这般好的学生啊。” 奥托赞不绝口的道，满脸的羡慕。
萧炎微笑，并未在这个话题上插嘴，脚步不急不缓的与奥托保持在同一个平行线上。
“到了。” 闻言，萧炎哑然失笑，他早就知道雪魅回去之后，肯定会受到一通大骂，四品药方，那可不是普通之物啊。
萧炎踏进这件宽敞的房间，目光扫了扫，最后停在房间中央，那里，一身炼药师长袍的佛克兰正口沫横飞，老脸铁青的怒拍着桌子，而在他的面前，雪魅双手紧握着桃花火种，任由佛克兰如何大怒，都是保持着沉默。
在桌子的另外一角，一位身着红色衣衫的女子，正幸灾乐祸的望着挨骂中的雪魅，听得开门声，她迅速的将目光转移而来，视线在奥托身后的萧炎身上扫过，顿时嘴角一撇，嘟囔道：“老师，这就是要让您亲自下去接的人？
听得她的声音，那大骂中的佛克兰也是暂时的停了下来，目光转向萧炎，诧异的道：“老奥，这是？” 看他的模样，先前守卫通报时，他们并不知晓来者是何人。
瞧得那一道道诧异的目光，萧炎手掌在脖子处摸动着，片刻后，将一张面皮撕了下来，露出本来那清秀的白皙面孔。
“佛克兰大师，一年不见，越发是老当益壮啊。” 萧炎将冰蚕面皮收进纳戒中，冲着弗兰克笑吟吟的道。
竟然是你这小家伙，我还以为你不会来了呢。” 望着那比一年前少了几分稚嫩的脸庞，弗兰克一愣，旋即大喜的道。
萧炎笑了笑，缓步走上，目光望向那一身银色裙袍，显得冷艳动人的雪魅，正好她也是将好奇的目光投了过来，两下对视，礼貌性的彼此一笑。
“佛克兰大师，这种桃花火种虽然并不算什么强横火焰，不过比起普通斗气催化的火焰，无疑是要强上许多，而且这种火焰比其他火焰少了几分狂躁，多了几分细腻，用来炼丹，倒还极为合适，虽说四品药方很是珍贵，不过大师肯定早已阅读过了吧？ 凭你的实力，花费些时间，应该能够再备一份的。”
看了一眼雪魅手中的粉红火种，萧炎对着佛克兰笑道。 “唉，也只能这样了，不过没有半年时间，是不可能重新备一份四品药方的，制作那东西，太麻烦了。” 无奈的摇了摇头，弗兰克总算是停下了骂声。
见到老师不再开口训斥，雪魅也是松了一口气，对着萧炎感谢的微微一笑，冷艳的俏脸，显得更为动人。
“你竟然给雪魅说情？ 是不是看上她了？”
作为雪魅的冤家，琳菲自然是不乐意她这么逃脱，当下急忙跳了出来，双手叉腰，瞪着萧炎那张清秀的脸庞，心中却是莫名其妙的暗自嘀咕道：“这家伙似乎比以前好看了许多？”
对于这犹如小母猫一般的琳菲，萧炎并未太过在意，目光盯着那娇美的脸颊，直到她有些忍不住的泛上许些绯红后，方才大笑着移开目光，留下琳菲红着俏脸的站在原地，忿忿的跺着小脚。
“呵呵，萧炎，你这次来加玛圣城，想必也是奔着炼药师大会来的吧？” 将琳菲扯到一旁，奥托坐在椅上，笑着道。
听得奥拓这话，一旁的弗兰克眼睛也是微亮了起来，赶忙将目光投向萧炎，他自然是知道，这个小家伙拥有何种杰出的炼药天赋，他若是要参加炼药师大会的话，一定会是夺冠的热门人选。
萧炎笑了笑，手指缓缓的点动在桌面上，笑道：“参加这大会可有什么好处？ 难道就为了争一个虚名？
“呃？” 闻言，奥托与弗兰克一愣，愕然的道：“若是你能够在炼药师大会上脱颖而出，那前途可是一片坦途啊，到时候不知道多少强大势力会来邀请你加入…而你的名望与地位，在这加玛帝国内，也是会迅猛提高啊。”
“你要知道，当年丹王古河，可就是这么起来的。”
“抱歉，我不喜欢投靠什么势力。” 萧炎摇了摇头，伸了一个懒腰，笑道：“所以还是给我说说，有什么实质的好处吧？”
“喂，你这家伙，也太现实了吧？” 一旁，听得萧炎如此直接，琳菲蹙着黛眉，嗔道。
萧炎摊了摊手，不去理会她。
“唉，这小家伙…还真是不见兔子不撒鹰。” 苦笑着与弗拉克对视了一眼，奥托无奈的摇了摇头，缓缓的道：“按照规矩，每一届的炼药师大会冠军，都将会成为炼药师公会的荣誉长老，享受与元老同级别的福利与权力，到时候，你则能够在加玛帝国炼药师公会的任何分会处，得到你权力之内的的帮助，并且，公会的库仓之内的稀有药材，你能优先换取。”
“对了，整个加玛帝国，有资格能够享受到这种待遇的人，不会超过十五人，只要成为了炼药师公会的名誉长老，任何势力，在动你之前，都会掂量三分，记住，这里的是任何势力，包括皇室，云岚宗！ 我炼药师公会，还有资格说这话。”
敲动桌面的手指猛然一顿，萧炎微抿着嘴，眼芒闪烁着，奥托的话到此处，他心中已经逐渐的有些意动了起来，他知道自己迟早会和云岚宗站在对立的位置，而在这种时候，若是背后有着能够让得云岚宗也忌惮的势力支撑，那自然是能够省去萧炎的很多麻烦。
望着那明显有些意动起来的萧炎，奥托心中微松了一口气，笑着投下了最后一种诱惑：“另外，这一届的冠军奖励，是一卷六品丹药药方。”
“六品丹药药方？” 眼瞳微微一缩，萧炎缓缓的吸了一口冷气，这种级别的药方，价值程度，甚至不会逊色于地阶的斗技。
有何作用？” 萧炎谨慎的询问道，六品药方虽然罕见，不过也要看丹药的效果，比如上次海波东的那破厄丹，便是属于偏门药方，价值顶多与五品药方相仿。
“融灵丹，一种能够让得灵魂与肉体融合的丹药，药效有些偏门，不过对于灵魂体来说，却是一种绝佳圣药，它不仅能够使得灵魂力量快速回复，还能将灵魂曾经所受的创伤完全修复。”
恢复灵魂力量？” 敏感的把握住其中的几个关键词语，萧炎心脏逐渐剧烈跳动了起来。
“小子，给我把这融灵丹的药方弄到手，日后，我不杀你！”
就在萧炎为这丰厚条件而心动之时，袖袍中的手臂忽然凉了一下，一道带着许些妩媚味道的微弱灵魂信息，传进了脑海之中。

Chapter 287: The Benefits of the Champion
Chapter 287: The Benefits of the Champion
Xiao Yan’s gaze stared lazily at this black colored broken jade piece. He randomly held it in his hand. The jade piece that entered his hand was not smooth. Instead, it was covered with tiny granules and appeared as if the material was not very good. Moreover, there were some faint crack lines on the jade piece. Between the gaps there were even some soil stains.
As he played with the jade piece, Xiao Yan’s eyebrows were knit together. From his senses, he appeared to feel that this thing was somewhat strange. However, he was unable to say where it was strange. His Spiritual Strength explored around it, but found no activity nor did he receive any information.
“Don’t tell me that I have sensed wrongly?” Xiao Yan uncertainly muttered in his heart. His finger slowly cut across the jade piece. He wanted to put it down, yet his palm could not throw it aside. A long while later, he helplessly shook his head and eyed the man who was staring at him anxiously. His hand randomly chose a few medicinal ingredients that looked barely acceptable. After which, he waved at the young man, smiled and asked, “Do you want to exchange for items or sell them?”
“Grandmaster, I want to exchange them for a tier three medicinal pill.” Hearing this, the young man’s spirit rose. Immediately, he smiled awkwardly as he spoke. He knew in his heart that these medicinal ingredients did not appear to be worth a tier three medicinal pill.
Xiao Yan indifferently glanced at him. He placed the things in his hands into the storage ring. After which, he easily took out a bottle which only had three ‘Energy Recovery Pills’. He tossed it to the man and said, “These are tier three medicinal pills, ‘Energy Recovery Pill’. It can swiftly recover Dou Qi that has been depleted. As it belonged to the more common consumption type medicinal pill, I will give you three of them.”
The man scrambled to received the bottle. A joy that was difficult to hide appeared on his face. Three ‘Energy Recovery Pills’. If one were to discuss about its price, it would not be lower than forty thousand gold coins. Counting in this manner, he had profited by a lot. Immediately, he hurriedly bent his body toward Xiao Yan who was already walking off and bowed.
Xiao Yan left the counter in this area and headed out of the eastern area. His finger rubbed on the storage ring and the piece of black colored broken jade piece once again appeared in his palm. He frowned and played with it in his hand. A moment later, he still had no clue and could only sigh disappointedly as he held it.
Standing in the middle of the hall, Xiao Yan was at a loss as he looked around him. He mused for a moment before pulling over a delicate and pretty lady who appeared to be a female servant and softly inquired about the position of the Head of the Alchemist Association Branch at Black Rock City.
Although this female servant, who appeared to be busy with something, was somewhat angry at being suddenly stopped, her pretty face immediately revealed some respect when she saw the tier two alchemist badge on Xiao Yan’s chest. Her delicate finger pointed at the western area where the human flow was extremely low. With a gentle voice, she said, “That place is the area where the heads of the various Alchemist Association Branches in the Jia Ma Empire is at. However, only alchemist tier three and above have the qualification to enter.”
“Haha, thank you very much.” Xiao Yan said his thanks, lifted his feet and walked toward the quiet western area. When he was about to enter, he was unsurprisingly blocked by the two guards at the entrance.
“May I trouble you to help me inform Grandmasters Frank or Ao Tuo from Black Rock City that Xiao Yan has come to see them.” Eyeing the two icy expressions of the guards, Xiao Yan said with a smile.
The two guards eyes glanced at the tier two alchemist badge on Xiao Yan’s chest and then swept across the young face. Their eyes revealed quite a bit of shock. Becoming a tier two alchemist at such a young age was something that was really rarely seen. Immediately, the coldness on their faces melted a little. They nodded slightly and after asking him to wait, one of them stepped back and swiftly climbed up some stairs.
Xiao Yan inserted his hands into his sleeves as he stood at the entrance. His eyes were closed as he quietly waited.
Not long after the guard climbed up the stairs, a wave of hurried footsteps swiftly sounded. A moment later, an old figure was first to appear in Xiao Yan’s sight. A joy covered his face.
The old man quickly came to the entrance. His gaze swept around but did not see the person that he wanted to meet. The smile on his face stiffened as he frowned. He faced the guard beside him and softly reproved, “Where is he? Don’t tell me that he was ousted by you people?”
“Grandmaster Ao Tou.” Hearing the old man reprove, Xiao Yan smiled and cried out.
“You…” Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Ao Tuo was at a loss. His gaze doubtfully eyed this young stranger in front of him. A long while later, he finally said in a stunned voice, “Xiao Yan? Why have you turned yourself into this manner?”
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. He softly said to Ao Tuo, “I will tell you later. There are many eyes looking around here.”
“Uh… follow me in.” Hearing this, Ao Tuo took the hint and nodded. He turned his head and fiercely said to the two guards, “The both of you heard nothing. Do you understand?”
Seeing Ao Tuo’s fierce and vicious manner, the two cold faced guards bitterly smiled. Immediately, they wisely nodded their heads. After being a guard for so many years, they naturally knew what was taboo.
This action of Ao Tuo caused Xiao Yan to nod his head slightly. Ao Tuo was indeed someone who could become the deputy chairman of the Alchemist Association Branch at Black Rock City. When he did something, he ensured that it was watertight.
Following behind Ao Dou, Xiao Yan slowly walked up the stairs. Only when the human flow around them became scarce did Ao Tuo softly asked, “Xiao Yan, why did you turn yourself into this manner? Don’t tell me that you have offended someone? Tell me about it. In this Jia Ma Empire Sacred City, the words from me, Ao Tuo, do have some weight.”
“Hehe, thank you Grandmaster Ao Tuo. It’s just some private matter. I don’t want someone to recognize my identity.” Xiao Yan shook his head and rejected Ao Tuo’s good intention.
“So it’s like this? Then it’s up to you.” Hearing Xiao Yan’s intention to reject, Ao Tuo did not insist. His old and sharp gaze slowly swept across Xiao Yan. A while later, his voice had a shock that could not be covered, “What a great little fellow. After not seeing you for a year, your strength has actually soared, The current you should at least have the strength of a five star Dou Shi, right?”
“I was merely lucky.” Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled.
“Tsk tsk, what a great little boy. This kind of talent really stuns everyone. I wonder which old fellow had the luck to find such a good student.” Ao Tuo said as he praised unceasingly. His face was filled with envy.
Xiao Yan smiled, but did not chip in on this topic. His footsteps moved at a comfortable pace as he moved in parallel to Ao Tuo.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was dumbfounded as he involuntarily laughed. He had already knew that once Xue Mei returned, she would definitely receive a huge scolding. A tier four medicinal formula was not an ordinary thing.
Xiao Yan stepped into this spacious room. His gaze swept across it and finally stopped at the middle of the room. There, Frank, who was wearing an alchemist’s long robe, was sending his saliva flying everywhere. His old face was green as he furiously slammed the table. In front of him, Xue Mei’s hands were still holding the ‘Lotus Blossom Flame Seed’ while she remained silent and allowed Frank to scold angrily.
At the other corner of the table, a lady wearing a red colored clothes was gloatingly watching Xue Mei who was being scolded. When she heard the door opening, she swiftly shifted her gaze over. Her sight swept across Xiao Yan’s body behind Ao Tuo. Immediately, she murmured with the corner of her mouth and said, “Teacher, is this the person who requested for you to personally go down to receive him? What a large face he has…”
Hearing her voice, Frank, who was giving a big reprimand immediately paused. His gaze turned to Xiao Yan and said with surprise, “Old Ao, who is this?” Seeing his manner, they were apparently ignorant of who was coming up when the guard had informed them.
Seeing the numerous surprised gazes, Xiao Yan touched at the area around his neck and moved. A moment later, he pulled down the mask, revealing his delicate and handsome face which had a fair complexion.
“Grandmaster Frank. After not seeing you for a year, you are becoming stronger in your old age.” Xiao Yan returned the ice silk dough into his storage ring and said with a smile to Frank.
“Xiao Yan? It is actually you, little fellow. I thought you wouldn’t be coming.” Eyeing the face that had a diminished tenderness compared to a year ago, Frank was stunned before he immediately said with great joy.
Xiao Yan smiled and slowly walked forward. He eyed Xue Mei, who appeared glamorous and moving in her silver colored dress. She had also turned her curious gaze over to him. As their eyes met, they courteously smiled at each other.
“Grandmaster Frank, this kind of ‘Peach Blossom Flame’ may not be considered a strong flame, but it is undoubtedly much stronger than an ordinary flame that was catalyzed from Dou Qi. Moreover, this kind of flame is less frantic compared to other flames, being finer and smoother instead. It is quite suitable to be used to refine medicinal pills. Although a tier four medicinal formula is extremely valuable, grandmaster must have already read it. With your ability, you should be able to prepare another copy if you spend some time.” Xiao Yan smiled and said to Frank as he eyed the pink colored flame seed in Xue Mei’s hand.
“Ah, this is the only thing that I can do. But without at least half a year, it is impossible to prepare another tier four medicinal formula again. It is too troublesome to create that thing.” Frank helplessly shook his head and finally ceased his scolding.
Seeing that her Teacher had stopped reprimanding her, Xue Mei also sighed in relief. She faced Xiao Yan and gratefully smiled. Her icy pretty face appeared even more moving.
“You actually interceded on Xue Mei’s behalf? Have you taken a fancy to her?”
Being the enemy of Xue Mei, Lin Fei naturally was not happy to see her escape like this. She hurriedly leaped forward. Her hands held her waist as she stared at Xiao Yan’s delicate and handsome face. Her heart inexplicable muttered quietly to herself, “Why does this guy look even better than before?”
Xiao Yan was not overly concerned about Lin Fei who was like a female cat. His gaze stared at her delicate and pretty face until her face could not help but be flooded with some scarlet color. Only then did he laugh loudly and turn his gaze aside, leaving Lin Fei to stand on the same spot with her crimson face as she angrily stomped her little feet.
“Ke ke, Xiao Yan. The reason for your coming to the Jia Ma Scared City should be because of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, right?” Pulling Lin Fei aside, Ao Tuo sat on a chair and laughed.
Hearing these words of Ao Tuo, the eyes of Frank at the side also brightened. He hurriedly turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan. He naturally knew what kind of outstanding refining talent that this little fellow possessed. If he wanted to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, he would be a popular choice of becoming the champion.
Xiao Yan smiled and gently tapped his finger on the table. He smiled and said, “What benefits do I have for participating in this Grand Meeting? Don’t tell me that it is only to compete for fame? I am not really interested in that.”
“Uh?” Hearing this, Ao Tuo and Frank were blank. They said in a stunned voice, “If you are able to stand out in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, your future will be really smooth. When that time comes, an unknown number of strong strengths would invite you to join them… and your reputation and status in the Jia Ma Empire would swiftly be raised.”
“You should know that Pill-King Gu He came to fame in such a manner back then.”
“I’m sorry. I don’t like to join and rely on any strength.” Xiao Yan shook his head and stretched his lazy waist. He said with a smile, “Therefore, please tell me what kind of substantial benefits there are.”
“Hey, aren’t you a little too realistic?” In the corner, Lin Fei knit her eyebrows and said annoyingly when she heard Xiao Yan being so forthright.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and ignored her.
“Ah, you little fellow… really won’t act until you have identified your target.” Ao Tuo smiled bitterly and exchanged glances with Frank. He helplessly shook his head and slowly said, “According to the rules, each season’s Alchemist Grand Meeting champion will become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Association and enjoy the same welfare and authority as other elders of similar grade. At that time, you would be able to obtain the help within your authority at any Alchemist Association Branch in the Jia Ma Empire. Additionally, you will be able to have priority in exchanging for the rare medicinal ingredients in the association’s warehouse.”
“Oh right, in the entire of the Jia Ma Empire, the number of people who have the qualification to enjoy such a treatment would not exceed fifteen. As long as you become the Alchemist Association honorary elder, any strength would think carefully before touching you. Remember, this is any strength, including the royalty and the Misty Cloud Sect! Our Alchemist Association has the qualification to say this.”
Xiao Yan’s finger that was tapping the table’s surface suddenly paused. He pursed up his lips and the glow in his eyes flickered. After Ao Tuo had said up to this point, Xiao Yan’s heart had gradually felt a little moved. He knew that he would sooner or later stand opposing to the Misty Cloud Sect. At such a time, if he had the support of this strength, which could cause the Misty Cloud Sect to think twice, it would naturally help him save a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was obviously somewhat interested, Ao Tuo sighed slightly in his heart. He smiled and threw the last temptation, “Additionally, the reward for the champion this season would be a medicinal formula for a tier six medicinal pill.”
“A medicinal formula for a tier six medicinal pill?” Xiao Yan’s eyes shrunk slightly. He slowly inhaled a breath of cold air. The price of a medicinal formula of this tier would not lose to that of a Di class Dou Technique.
“What kind of medicinal formula? What use does it have?” Xiao Yan cautiously inquired. Although a tier six medicinal formula was rare, it was also necessary to consider the effect of the medicinal pill. Take the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ of Hai Bo Dong the last time. It belonged to a slightly unorthodox medicinal formula and its value is at most similar to a tier five medicinal formula.”
“‘Thawing Spirit Pill’, a kind of medicinal pill that can let the spirit and the physical body merge together. Its medicinal effect is a little unorthodox, but for a spiritual body, it is a perfect, saint-like medicine. Not only would it cause the spirit to swiftly recover, but it is also able to completely repair all the damage that the spirit has received.”
“Spiritual body? Recovering spiritual strength?” Xiao Yan was extremely sensitive as he grasped these two key phrases. His heart gradually jumped intensely.
“Brat, get your hands on the medicinal formula for this ‘Thawing Spirit Pill’ and I will not kill you in the future!”
Just as Xiao Yan was moved by these two ample condition, his hands, which were in the sleeves, suddenly became cold. A weak spiritual message that carried some enchanting taste was transmitted into his mind.

"value": "Chapter 226: Ascending Mount Longhu\nThe force behind the Manchurian Tiger’s strike was exceptional, sufficient to flatten a small hill. It landed on Schiller’s body with a boom, causing several bones within his body to shatter.\nPfft!\nSchiller’s mouth was full of bloody froth. Even his eyes and ears were bleeding as he flew out like a scarecrow, unable to withstand the trauma.\nAt this time, he was barely conscious. His vision was going dark as he felt his strength obviously waning.\n\"Roar!\"\nThe Manchurian Tiger roared; he broke through the sound barrier as he charged out. He was accompanied by strong whirlwinds which uprooted large trees and sent stones flying in every direction. The clouds obey the dragon and the winds obey the tiger; the scene was extremely violent.\nThe Manchurian Tiger’s right hand transformed into a large claw which raked at Schiller with lightning speed.\n\"Pfft!\"\nSchiller’s glowed with divine light as mysterious energy coursed through his body. Despite its protection, several bone-deep wounds had appeared on his body with blood flowing out everywhere.\nThis was especially true of the wound on his chest—a bloody hole had appeared where the \"black tiger heart gouge\" had struck—this can be considered a killer move of the tiger race.\nSchiller growled as his hair all stood on end. His body, engulfed in flames, was emanating alarming energy fluctuations. He was absolutely furious.\nHe didn’t hesitate to burn his precious essence blood to release all the potential energy within his body. He no longer cared about harming his vitality because none of these would matter if he couldn’t survive.\nThump! He forcefully blocked the Tiger King’s claw with full force.\nBoom!\nThe Undead Phoenix’s tyrannical attack was even more powerful than that of the Manchurian Tiger. Flames rushed out from beneath her feathers, accompanied by a terrifying black radiance and phoenix cries.\nOne could clearly see the energy take on a corporeal form, turning into a black phoenix. The vivid and life-like bird enveloped Schiller with a loud boom!\nThis attack decimated the whole mountain. Hundreds of towering trees splintered and turned to ash while tens of thousands of volcanic rocks exploded and gradually melted to form magma.\nThe Manchurian Tiger swiftly leapt out of the way. He felt as if even he would drown within the raging inferno.\nThe Undead Phoenix’s eyes were burning. She had unleashed such a killer move because the situation required them to disable Schiller quickly and efficiently.\nThe attack was indeed terrifying. Schiller was flung into the distance by the explosive force and half his body was soaked with blood. Bones were even protruding from several parts of his burnt body.\nEverything went south for Schiller after receiving a blow from Chu Feng’s diamond chakram, which severed a whole arm and drastically reduced his combat prowess. Following that, he had even received continuous blows from the Tiger and Phoenix King. He was now getting weaker by the minute.\nSchiller was in great physical pain. He wanted to flee but he was stuck; the two powerful experts had him boxed in from the flanks.\nHe had almost died just moments ago.\n\"Kill!\"\nHe struggled frantically, waiting for an opportunity to break through the siege. He would be courting death if he continued fighting madly. Every moment he tarried brought him one step closer to death.\nBut the Undead Phoenix’s and Manchurian Tiger’s eyes were bloodshot, knowing they couldn’t let this opportunity slip by. The two of them bombarded their prey with full force, deterring his escape.\nChu Feng’s speed was exceedingly fast. He rushed up the mountain to retrieve his diamond chakram. The problem with this weapon was that he had to expend extra effort to retrieve it after every attack.\nFortunately, there was very little chance of losing it by virtue of his keen divine instinct. He found it very soon and retrieved it with his spiritual energy, returning the bracelet to his hand with a swoosh.\nHe then turned back immediately to deliver Schiller another blow.\nSchiller was now in trouble. He found it difficult to escape under the continuous onslaught of the two great experts and would occasionally be sent flying. He could scarcely defend against the assailants now that he had lost an arm.\nHe had already dashed out several times in vain but still didn’t give up. His hair was disheveled and his body was enshrouded by a bloody mist as he cried out in fury. This was a sign of overload.\nHe put his life on the line to break through the mountainous terrain. He knew it was unwise to be tangled up with those warriors with six severed shackles; that was a sure path to death.\n\"Roar!\" The Manchurian Tiger, wrapped in monastic robes, launched continuous attacks. Such an opportunity would never knock twice and he himself was one of Schiller’s hit targets.\nChu Feng glanced at the distant battlefield after his return and silently handed the diamond chakram over to Yellow Ox. He knew Schiller would be on high alert if he approached.\n\"We should be able to kill him this time!\" The black yak was eyeing his prey like a tiger. He couldn’t wait to charge in but he understood that he was far from being able to contend with Schiller.\nEven with severe wounds, Schiller was still one of the strongest experts at the moment. This was especially true now that he was like a cornered beast.\nIn the distance, Lin Naoi was rather calm. He hair was flowing in the wind as she looked on with her deep and clear eyes. She had seen many reports back at Deity Biomedicals and understood well how terrifying people at their level were.\nWhat truly astonished her was how this \"ex-boyfriend\" of hers had turned the tables with a single strike of his weapon.\nWhite Tiger and Lu Shiyun were stunned and badly shaken by the scene playing out before them. This was the first time they had witnessed a battle of peerless experts.\nEspecially the near-fatal strike delivered by Chu Feng moments ago which had caused the most ferocious man of the ages to lose an arm.\nThey felt, for the first time, just how powerful Chu Feng was. His strength had greatly exceeded their expectations by being able to take part in a battle between peerless experts.\nIt could be said that Chu Feng’s attack just now had arrived at the most critical juncture. It had swiftly crippled Schiller’s combat abilities and reduced his speed.\nLu Shiyun was so overwhelmed that her little mouth was in the shape of an \"O\" with her beautiful eyes opened wide. Even though she knew Chu Feng was powerful, she didn’t expect him to be able to cross swords with such peerless experts.\nYamen was now dispirited and listless. He couldn’t run even if he wanted to since his legs had been cut off. His face was deathly pale after witnessing this battle; even his spirit was quivering.\nThe Demon King Chu he looked down upon had actually gravely wounded Schiller!\nHe cast his gaze between the graceful Lin Naoi and Chu Feng. He then noticed the miserable Schiller amidst the intense battle and felt that all his hopes had turned to dust—there was no way for him to escape.\nSchiller’s profound eyes suddenly seemed to have calmed down and was looking for an opportunity to break the siege.\nHe had, unfortunately, rushed over as soon as he got the news from Yamen, hoping to kill Chu Feng with relative ease. Never did he expect he would fall into such a trap.\nSchiller had never been impressed by Yamen. He felt this hypocrite was unlikely to be successful, but he never expected Yamen to drag him into such a mess. Pfft!\nSchiller was once again sent flying. His whole body was full of wounds but he still hadn’t succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement between two peerless experts.\nThe next moment, the Manchurian Tiger’s great claws had left deep and bloody gashes on his back.\n\"Ah…\" At the same time, the Undead Phoenix had transformed into her true form; a pair of razor-sharp wings came swinging down from above and almost eviscerated Schiller. The latter retreated close to the ground. The terrible wound on his abdomen dyed the ground red with his blood.\nSchiller was now rather anxious. He couldn’t even fly out because his back had been torn out. Although the light and dark wings were composed of energy, they still had to manifest upon the physical body.\nMount Longhu!\nFinally, Schiller’s eyes surged with raging flames as he ground his teeth and decided to charge into the ancestral court of Taoism. He desperately needed to find a way out of this impasse.\nThe Manchurian Tiger and the Undead Phoenix were barring his path of retreat. The path towards Mount Longhu was relatively unguarded because everyone knew no one in their right mind would possibly climb up this land of death.\nSchiller had no other choice. This was his only hope for salvation, his only chance at survival.\nHe was now rolling on the ground, soiled in blood and mud. Despite the miserable situation, his eyes were emitting an intense fierceness. He suddenly rushed towards Mount Longhu with a swoosh.\n\"Eh?!\"\nHis cold eyes glanced over at the distant Chu Feng. This youth was the culprit for the destruction of his Myriad Spirit Blood Medicine, and today, he had, once again, made him lose an arm. His hate for Chu Feng was exceptionally strong.\nSchiller’s body began to emit a bloody glow as he expended even more energy. A murderous glint flashed through his eyes as he pushed himself over his normal capacity to destroy Chu Feng in one fell swoop.\nJust moments ago, he was struck by Chu Feng’s diamond chakram. He had been careless that time, not expecting to be tricked with a fake bracelet. This time, he won’t be tricked!\nBoom!\nA rain of blood showered down from Schiller’s back as he overutilized his strength, the side-effect of exceeding his physical capacity. His body began to crack apart with blood bursting out in large amounts.\nChu Feng was standing there on purpose in order to draw Schiller’s attention and allow Yellow Ox the opportunity to deal a fatal blow. It was a risky endeavor since he no longer had the diamond chakram for defense. He would have to forcefully block a desperate blow from a fierce expert with six severed shackles.\nThe Undead Phoenix and the Manchurian Tiger was stunned. They didn’t expect Chu Feng would risk approaching the battlefield once more. They were wholly focused on the pursuit, thinking Chu Feng had already fled to a safe distance.\n\"Schiller, go to hell!\" Chu Feng acted as if he was about to shoot the diamond chakram.\nSchiller’s stance suddenly turned much more agile—he shuttled left and right through the air, his eyes shooting out meter-long beams of lights akin to divine blades as he gazed fixedly at Chu Feng. His spirit was absolutely focused, ready to dodge the snow white bracelet at a moment’s notice.\nYellow Ox, in his current form, was no different from a five-year-old child. With silky golden hair, refined facial features and large sparkling eyes, he seemed absolutely devoid of killing intent.\nWoosh! The air exploded as the diamond chakram was shot out at six times the speed of sound!\nIt was surging with extreme white brilliance like a sun shooting through the skies as it barreled towards Schiller.\nYamen shouted loudly from a distance, but the warning didn’t arrive in time.\nThe shiny bracelet was traveling at supersonic speeds. With a ‘pfft!’, it shot through Schiller’s radiant body, causing him to stagger back amidst a rain of blood.\nThe diamond chakram entered from his back and penetrated his chest entirely. Its great destructive power immediately shattered one lobe of his lung into many fragments while his right chest had burst into a bloody hole.\nYellow Ox was inwardly lamenting that he had missed the heart. Otherwise, Schiller would already be dead in a single strike.\nBut with this, Schiller had grown even weaker than before. The Manchurian Tiger and the Undead Phoenix could easily kill him In his current state.\nBut Yellow Ox was astonished to find Schiller still charging towards Chu Feng despite his grave trauma. With a murderous glow within his eyes, he slammed down with his palm amidst splendorous lights.\nClang!\nChu Feng had shot out the scarlet flying dagger. It shone brilliantly in the sky like the twilight glow.\nSchiller’s left arm was pierced through as blood sprayed out in abundance.\n\"Eh?!\" This astonished not only Chu Feng but also Schiller himself. His pupils constricted rapidly; he knew he had overdrafted his body and the energy therein was rapidly drying up.\nHow otherwise could he have failed to block such a strike from the flying knife? It wasn’t quite possible to kill him with such attacks in his normal state.\nSchiller decisively pulled away after being seen through by Chu Feng and hurriedly ran in the direction of Mount Longhu.\nSeeing this, Chu Feng followed suit while brandishing his flying knife.\n\"Where do you think you’re going, you brute?!\" The black yak rushed out in pursuit.\nSchiller ran up the mountain with Chu Feng at his tail, stepping into the Taoist ancestral court together."

第二百二十六章
东北虎这一拳力量大的出奇，足以将一座小山头给砸塌，轰隆一声打在席勒身上，让他体内骨头爆响，胸骨断裂一片。
“噗！”
席勒满嘴都是血沫子，就是眼睛与耳朵都在溢血，整个人翻飞，如同稻草人般，遭受不可想象的重创。
这一刻，他险些昏厥过去，眼前发黑，明显感觉到了自己体力不支。
“嗷吼！”
东北虎咆哮，一个纵身，突破音障，并且伴着狂风，周围磨盘大石头翻飞，一些大树连根拔起，云从龙风从虎，非常暴烈。
东北虎的右手化成一只锋利的大爪子，快如闪电，直接抓在席勒的身上。
“噗！”
席勒的身体绽放神光，秘力流淌，保护己身，可还是被撕裂出几道深可见骨的伤口，血液四溅。
尤其是胸口那里险些被挖出一个血洞，因为刚才那一爪子是典型的黑虎掏心，也算是虎类的大杀招。
席勒低吼，他的发丝倒竖起来，身体像是有火焰在焚烧，释放出骇人的能量波动，他被激怒了。
他在不惜代价地焚烧血精，释放体内的潜能，哪怕自己元气大伤也不管了，不然的话就要死在这里了。
砰！ 他硬撼虎王的大爪子，极力阻挡。
轰！
不死凤王的霸道攻击凌厉之极，比之东北虎更强，带着火光，从她全身毛孔中冲出骇人的黑色光焰，并伴着凤鸣声。
可以清晰的看到，那团能量化形，成为一头黑色的凤凰，栩栩如生，轰隆一声，覆盖席勒那里。
这一击将那片山地都摧毁了，数十上百棵参天大树寸寸断裂，成为灰烬，至于数万斤的岩石等则爆炸，而后又化成岩浆。
东北虎一个虎跃，快速躲避，连他都差点被淹没在那里。
主要是不死凤王杀红眼睛，酝酿出这样一个杀招，略显匆忙，只为快速而有效的废掉席勒。
这一击的确相当的可怕，席勒被打的横飞，半边身子全是血，许多地方骨头都露出来了，并被严重烧伤。
所有这一切都是从楚风打出金刚琢开始的，生生撕裂下席勒的一条手臂，让他战力锐减，接着被虎王与凤王连攻，现在他的身体越发虚弱。
席勒肉身痛苦，不是他不想逃走，而是被两大强者夹攻，堵在这里。
就在刚才这么片刻间而已，他差点就被屠掉。
“杀！”
他挣扎着，想要突围出去，现在恋战的话只会自寻死路，每多留一瞬间，他就离死亡近上一段距离。
不过，不死凤王与东北虎眼杀红眼睛，怎么可能放任这么好的机会流逝，全力以赴，阻击他。
楚风速度很快，冲向山林，他去寻找金刚琢，这真是一个麻烦问题，每一次打出去还得费力寻觅。
还好，在王级神觉下倒也不担心丢失，很快就找到了，他隔着数十米远时动用精神能量，嗖的一声将它接引到手中。
而后，他掉头就向回赶去，想再给席勒来一下。
席勒遇到大麻烦，他走脱不了，被两大高手阻击，不时横飞起来，现在他丢掉一条手臂后，根本不敌。
数次冲起都未果，但席勒依旧没有放弃，披头散发，咆哮连连，他体外有一层血雾在燃烧，这是超负荷的体现。
他在拼命，想要脱离这片山地，他可不想被挣断六道枷锁的强者缠上，那样的话必死无疑。
“嗷吼！” 东北虎裹着袈裟，发疯般进攻，今日机会难得，错过的话那就再难遇上了，而且他自身会成为席勒的重点猎杀的对象。
楚风回归后，看着远处的战场，不动声色，悄然将金刚琢给了黄牛，因为他觉得自己再接近出手的话，肯定要被席勒防备。
“这次多半能杀了他！” 大黑牛手持紫铜长刀，虎视眈眈，他都有点忍不住要出手扑上去了，但是冷静后也明白，跟席勒相比，他还不足以对抗。
哪怕席勒遭受重创，也是当时最强者之一，尤其是现在，困兽之斗，更凶狠了。
远方，林诺依还算平静，发丝轻扬，美眸神光湛湛，密切注视战场，她在天神生物看到过很多秘报，了解这个级数的人有多恐怖。
让她唯一吃惊的是楚风，自己这个“前男友”，刚才居然打出那样一件武器，几乎算是改变了战局。
白虎、卢诗韵都深感吃惊，他们第一次这样近距离观看绝世强者大战，心中震撼。
尤其是刚才楚风的致命一击，卸掉绝世猛人席勒的一条胳膊，让白虎的世界观天翻地覆，惊憾莫名。
他第一次感受到，楚魔王原来这么厉害，超乎他的想象，竟参与到绝世强者的一战中。
可以说，刚才楚风那一击起到了至关重要的作用，直接导致席勒战力锐减，身体迅速衰弱下来。
卢诗韵更是惊的小嘴张成“O”形，美丽的大眼瞪圆，在此之前，哪怕知道楚风很强大，但也难以想象他敢跟绝世高手过招。
亚曼萎靡不振，想逃都逃不了，双腿断掉，面无血色，他亲眼目睹了这一战，连灵魂都在颤栗。
他所俯视的楚魔王，居然重创了席勒！
他看向飘逸若仙、冷艳出尘的林诺依，又瞥了一眼楚风，接着又注视战场中狼狈不堪的席勒，亚曼万念俱灰，他太失败了，想逃都逃不掉。
席勒双目幽邃，他迅速冷静下来，寻找突围的契机。
今日真的很不幸，他得到亚曼的消息第一时间赶来，原以为可以轻易镇杀楚风几人，哪里料到这是一个陷阱。
席勒对亚曼一直瞧不上眼，觉得他成不了气候，但却没有想到，亚曼会这么“坑”，将他给也搭了进来。
席勒被打的飞起，浑身是伤，但他却没有办法，数次突围都被两大高手拦截下来，走脱不了。
下一刻，东北虎的大爪子在他的后背上留下一个血洞，进一步重创了他。
同时，不死凤王化出本体，一对翅膀如天刀般劈了下去，几乎要将席勒开膛破肚，他仰头横飞出去，贴着地面倒退，胸腹那里伤口恐怖，鲜血染红土地。
席勒焦急，他想冲天飞起都不行，背后早已被撕裂，光暗之翼虽然是能量所化，但也需要肉身配合才能形成。
龙虎山！
最终，席勒眼睛冒出烈焰般的光芒，一咬牙，决定向那道教祖庭冲去，置之死地而后生。
东北虎、不死凤王都在防备他远遁，没有阻拦他向龙虎山方向逃，因为那里是一片绝地，现在谁都上不去。
席勒没得选择，只有逃向这里，才能获得喘息与活命的一线机会。
他在地上翻滚，满是神血，粘上泥土，非常狼狈，但是眼神却愈发凌厉，嗖的一声朝龙虎山闯去。
！”
他一眼瞥到不远处的楚风，双目森寒，万灵血药是这个年轻人毁掉的，如今又因为他失去一条手臂，那种恨异常浓烈。
席勒浑身冒出血光，那是不惜代价的在消耗能量，远超负荷，他凶光毕露，想顺道解决掉楚风。
不久前，他被金刚琢打中，可谓大意了，怎能料到还有真假手环之分，这一次他绝不会再上当。
轰隆！
席勒背后大片血雨喷洒，这是他动用超出目前身体所能承受的力量的副作用，肌体龟裂，血液迸溅。
楚风有意站在这里，就是想吸引席勒的注意，给黄牛一击必杀的机会，当然这很冒险，他现在可没有金刚琢防身，要承受一位挣断六道枷锁的绝世凶人的疯狂攻击。
不死凤王、东北虎大吃一惊，没有想到楚风又接近战场，这太冒失了，原以为他会躲避的足够远，两大强者急忙追赶。
“席勒，下地狱去吧！” 楚风作势要打出金刚琢。
席勒的身法瞬间飘忽起来，忽左忽右，他的双目爆射出三尺多长的有形光速，如两口神剑一般，盯着楚风，他的精神高度集中，确保能有效避开那条雪亮的手环。
现在的黄牛看起来不过五六岁的样子，金色发丝柔顺，面孔精致，大眼扑闪，怎么看都缺少杀机。
嗡！ 空气爆炸，金刚琢超越六倍音速飞出！
它极尽璀璨，雪白光芒绽放，如同一轮天日横渡虚空，朝着席勒打去。
远处，亚曼大喊，想要提醒，但根本没用。
锃亮的手环远超音速，噗的一声，击穿席勒的躯体，让他绽放神辉的肉身一个踉跄，大片血雨飞洒。
金刚琢从他的后背穿进去，从他前胸打出，拥有巨大的破坏力，一片肺叶当即就被绞的四分五裂，右胸部更是炸开，出现一个前后透亮的惊人血洞。
黄牛暗叹可惜，没有击中他的心脏，不然这一击下去，席勒多半就毙命了。
不过现在的席勒又被消弱一大截，东北虎、不死凤王足以毙掉他。
然而，下一刻黄牛惊悚，因为席勒眼中带着仇恨的光芒，哪怕被重创，依旧扑向楚风，距离太近，一掌落下，光芒绽放。
锵！
楚风祭出赤红飞剑，如同晚霞燃烧，映照虚空，一片通明。
噗的一声，席勒的右掌被刺中，血液溅起。 “嗯？
！” 这个结果不仅让楚风吃惊，就是席勒也瞳孔急骤收缩，他知道坏了，自身透支过甚，躯体中的能量快枯竭了。
不然的话凭他的霸道力量，怎么可能挡不住这样一击，哪怕是飞剑，也难以劈杀他。
席勒很果断，即便恨透楚风，他也舍弃，径直朝着龙虎山奔去。
楚风见状，祭出飞剑，极速追杀。
“老匹夫哪里走！” 大黑牛狂奔，也一路追杀而来。
席勒果断登山，楚风跟进，一同踏进道教祖庭！

Chapter 226: Ascending Mount Longhu
The force behind the Manchurian Tiger’s strike was exceptional, sufficient to flatten a small hill. It landed on Schiller’s body with a boom, causing several bones within his body to shatter.
Pfft!
Schiller’s mouth was full of bloody froth. Even his eyes and ears were bleeding as he flew out like a scarecrow, unable to withstand the trauma.
At this time, he was barely conscious. His vision was going dark as he felt his strength obviously waning.
"Roar!"
The Manchurian Tiger roared; he broke through the sound barrier as he charged out. He was accompanied by strong whirlwinds which uprooted large trees and sent stones flying in every direction. The clouds obey the dragon and the winds obey the tiger; the scene was extremely violent.
The Manchurian Tiger’s right hand transformed into a large claw which raked at Schiller with lightning speed.
"Pfft!"
Schiller’s glowed with divine light as mysterious energy coursed through his body. Despite its protection, several bone-deep wounds had appeared on his body with blood flowing out everywhere.
This was especially true of the wound on his chest—a bloody hole had appeared where the "black tiger heart gouge" had struck—this can be considered a killer move of the tiger race.
Schiller growled as his hair all stood on end. His body, engulfed in flames, was emanating alarming energy fluctuations. He was absolutely furious.
He didn’t hesitate to burn his precious essence blood to release all the potential energy within his body. He no longer cared about harming his vitality because none of these would matter if he couldn’t survive.
Thump! He forcefully blocked the Tiger King’s claw with full force.
Boom!
The Undead Phoenix’s tyrannical attack was even more powerful than that of the Manchurian Tiger. Flames rushed out from beneath her feathers, accompanied by a terrifying black radiance and phoenix cries.
One could clearly see the energy take on a corporeal form, turning into a black phoenix. The vivid and life-like bird enveloped Schiller with a loud boom!
This attack decimated the whole mountain. Hundreds of towering trees splintered and turned to ash while tens of thousands of volcanic rocks exploded and gradually melted to form magma.
The Manchurian Tiger swiftly leapt out of the way. He felt as if even he would drown within the raging inferno.
The Undead Phoenix’s eyes were burning. She had unleashed such a killer move because the situation required them to disable Schiller quickly and efficiently.
The attack was indeed terrifying. Schiller was flung into the distance by the explosive force and half his body was soaked with blood. Bones were even protruding from several parts of his burnt body.
Everything went south for Schiller after receiving a blow from Chu Feng’s diamond chakram, which severed a whole arm and drastically reduced his combat prowess. Following that, he had even received continuous blows from the Tiger and Phoenix King. He was now getting weaker by the minute.
Schiller was in great physical pain. He wanted to flee but he was stuck; the two powerful experts had him boxed in from the flanks.
He had almost died just moments ago.
"Kill!"
He struggled frantically, waiting for an opportunity to break through the siege. He would be courting death if he continued fighting madly. Every moment he tarried brought him one step closer to death.
But the Undead Phoenix’s and Manchurian Tiger’s eyes were bloodshot, knowing they couldn’t let this opportunity slip by. The two of them bombarded their prey with full force, deterring his escape.
Chu Feng’s speed was exceedingly fast. He rushed up the mountain to retrieve his diamond chakram. The problem with this weapon was that he had to expend extra effort to retrieve it after every attack.
Fortunately, there was very little chance of losing it by virtue of his keen divine instinct. He found it very soon and retrieved it with his spiritual energy, returning the bracelet to his hand with a swoosh.
He then turned back immediately to deliver Schiller another blow.
Schiller was now in trouble. He found it difficult to escape under the continuous onslaught of the two great experts and would occasionally be sent flying. He could scarcely defend against the assailants now that he had lost an arm.
He had already dashed out several times in vain but still didn’t give up. His hair was disheveled and his body was enshrouded by a bloody mist as he cried out in fury. This was a sign of overload.
He put his life on the line to break through the mountainous terrain. He knew it was unwise to be tangled up with those warriors with six severed shackles; that was a sure path to death.
"Roar!" The Manchurian Tiger, wrapped in monastic robes, launched continuous attacks. Such an opportunity would never knock twice and he himself was one of Schiller’s hit targets.
Chu Feng glanced at the distant battlefield after his return and silently handed the diamond chakram over to Yellow Ox. He knew Schiller would be on high alert if he approached.
"We should be able to kill him this time!" The black yak was eyeing his prey like a tiger. He couldn’t wait to charge in but he understood that he was far from being able to contend with Schiller.
Even with severe wounds, Schiller was still one of the strongest experts at the moment. This was especially true now that he was like a cornered beast.
In the distance, Lin Naoi was rather calm. He hair was flowing in the wind as she looked on with her deep and clear eyes. She had seen many reports back at Deity Biomedicals and understood well how terrifying people at their level were.
What truly astonished her was how this "ex-boyfriend" of hers had turned the tables with a single strike of his weapon.
White Tiger and Lu Shiyun were stunned and badly shaken by the scene playing out before them. This was the first time they had witnessed a battle of peerless experts.
Especially the near-fatal strike delivered by Chu Feng moments ago which had caused the most ferocious man of the ages to lose an arm.
They felt, for the first time, just how powerful Chu Feng was. His strength had greatly exceeded their expectations by being able to take part in a battle between peerless experts.
It could be said that Chu Feng’s attack just now had arrived at the most critical juncture. It had swiftly crippled Schiller’s combat abilities and reduced his speed.
Lu Shiyun was so overwhelmed that her little mouth was in the shape of an "O" with her beautiful eyes opened wide. Even though she knew Chu Feng was powerful, she didn’t expect him to be able to cross swords with such peerless experts.
Yamen was now dispirited and listless. He couldn’t run even if he wanted to since his legs had been cut off. His face was deathly pale after witnessing this battle; even his spirit was quivering.
The Demon King Chu he looked down upon had actually gravely wounded Schiller!
He cast his gaze between the graceful Lin Naoi and Chu Feng. He then noticed the miserable Schiller amidst the intense battle and felt that all his hopes had turned to dust—there was no way for him to escape.
Schiller’s profound eyes suddenly seemed to have calmed down and was looking for an opportunity to break the siege.
He had, unfortunately, rushed over as soon as he got the news from Yamen, hoping to kill Chu Feng with relative ease. Never did he expect he would fall into such a trap.
Schiller had never been impressed by Yamen. He felt this hypocrite was unlikely to be successful, but he never expected Yamen to drag him into such a mess. Pfft!
Schiller was once again sent flying. His whole body was full of wounds but he still hadn’t succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement between two peerless experts.
The next moment, the Manchurian Tiger’s great claws had left deep and bloody gashes on his back.
"Ah…" At the same time, the Undead Phoenix had transformed into her true form; a pair of razor-sharp wings came swinging down from above and almost eviscerated Schiller. The latter retreated close to the ground. The terrible wound on his abdomen dyed the ground red with his blood.
Schiller was now rather anxious. He couldn’t even fly out because his back had been torn out. Although the light and dark wings were composed of energy, they still had to manifest upon the physical body.
Mount Longhu!
Finally, Schiller’s eyes surged with raging flames as he ground his teeth and decided to charge into the ancestral court of Taoism. He desperately needed to find a way out of this impasse.
The Manchurian Tiger and the Undead Phoenix were barring his path of retreat. The path towards Mount Longhu was relatively unguarded because everyone knew no one in their right mind would possibly climb up this land of death.
Schiller had no other choice. This was his only hope for salvation, his only chance at survival.
He was now rolling on the ground, soiled in blood and mud. Despite the miserable situation, his eyes were emitting an intense fierceness. He suddenly rushed towards Mount Longhu with a swoosh.
"Eh?!"
His cold eyes glanced over at the distant Chu Feng. This youth was the culprit for the destruction of his Myriad Spirit Blood Medicine, and today, he had, once again, made him lose an arm. His hate for Chu Feng was exceptionally strong.
Schiller’s body began to emit a bloody glow as he expended even more energy. A murderous glint flashed through his eyes as he pushed himself over his normal capacity to destroy Chu Feng in one fell swoop.
Just moments ago, he was struck by Chu Feng’s diamond chakram. He had been careless that time, not expecting to be tricked with a fake bracelet. This time, he won’t be tricked!
Boom!
A rain of blood showered down from Schiller’s back as he overutilized his strength, the side-effect of exceeding his physical capacity. His body began to crack apart with blood bursting out in large amounts.
Chu Feng was standing there on purpose in order to draw Schiller’s attention and allow Yellow Ox the opportunity to deal a fatal blow. It was a risky endeavor since he no longer had the diamond chakram for defense. He would have to forcefully block a desperate blow from a fierce expert with six severed shackles.
The Undead Phoenix and the Manchurian Tiger was stunned. They didn’t expect Chu Feng would risk approaching the battlefield once more. They were wholly focused on the pursuit, thinking Chu Feng had already fled to a safe distance.
"Schiller, go to hell!" Chu Feng acted as if he was about to shoot the diamond chakram.
Schiller’s stance suddenly turned much more agile—he shuttled left and right through the air, his eyes shooting out meter-long beams of lights akin to divine blades as he gazed fixedly at Chu Feng. His spirit was absolutely focused, ready to dodge the snow white bracelet at a moment’s notice.
Yellow Ox, in his current form, was no different from a five-year-old child. With silky golden hair, refined facial features and large sparkling eyes, he seemed absolutely devoid of killing intent.
Woosh! The air exploded as the diamond chakram was shot out at six times the speed of sound!
It was surging with extreme white brilliance like a sun shooting through the skies as it barreled towards Schiller.
Yamen shouted loudly from a distance, but the warning didn’t arrive in time.
The shiny bracelet was traveling at supersonic speeds. With a ‘pfft!’, it shot through Schiller’s radiant body, causing him to stagger back amidst a rain of blood.
The diamond chakram entered from his back and penetrated his chest entirely. Its great destructive power immediately shattered one lobe of his lung into many fragments while his right chest had burst into a bloody hole.
Yellow Ox was inwardly lamenting that he had missed the heart. Otherwise, Schiller would already be dead in a single strike.
But with this, Schiller had grown even weaker than before. The Manchurian Tiger and the Undead Phoenix could easily kill him In his current state.
But Yellow Ox was astonished to find Schiller still charging towards Chu Feng despite his grave trauma. With a murderous glow within his eyes, he slammed down with his palm amidst splendorous lights.
Clang!
Chu Feng had shot out the scarlet flying dagger. It shone brilliantly in the sky like the twilight glow.
Schiller’s left arm was pierced through as blood sprayed out in abundance.
"Eh?!" This astonished not only Chu Feng but also Schiller himself. His pupils constricted rapidly; he knew he had overdrafted his body and the energy therein was rapidly drying up.
How otherwise could he have failed to block such a strike from the flying knife? It wasn’t quite possible to kill him with such attacks in his normal state.
Schiller decisively pulled away after being seen through by Chu Feng and hurriedly ran in the direction of Mount Longhu.
Seeing this, Chu Feng followed suit while brandishing his flying knife.
"Where do you think you’re going, you brute?!" The black yak rushed out in pursuit.
Schiller ran up the mountain with Chu Feng at his tail, stepping into the Taoist ancestral court together.

"value": "Chapter 18 – Violence\nChapter 18 - Violence\n“Haha! Haha! Hahaha!” Ji Hao raised his arms and shouted. His eyeballs suddenly turned red.\nJi Hao was deeply astonished by his father, who was so talented and powerful.\nHe clearly remembered, ten years ago, that battle against the Blackwater Serpent Clan in the Ancestral Temple at the Gold Black Mountain. Ji Xia and Qing Fu had been sneak-attacked by assassins. Ji Xia only had around twenty awakened Magus Acupoints at that time, every one of them had been punctured by poisonous weapons.\nIf this had happened to any other Senior Magus in the Fire Crow Clan, it would have been impossible for him or her to recover from such a damage. Normally speaking, damaging even the tiniest Magus Acupoint could disable a Senior Magus.\nHowever, it had only taken Ji Xia a decade to awaken another forty-eight Magus Acupoints. He had given up on those damaged caves, found a way to awaken those inconspicuous Magus Acupoints in his arms and legs. Not only didn't he get demoted from the Senior Level, he had become even more powerful than ten years ago!\nNo wonder those elders and Maguspriests in the Black Water Serpent Clan called Ji Xia as their most horrible enemy in a thousand years. He had risen again after all of his Magus Acupoints were broken, and had become even more powerful!\n“Xia! My brother! You’re the strongest warrior in our Fire Crow Clan!”\n“Hey! Xia! You’re our leader! Only Xia is qualified to lead us!”\n“Beat him! Xia! Beat him to death! Break his neck! Tear him apart!”\nAs same as Ji Hao, countless Holy Land warriors were waving their arms and weapons, growling half cheering and half raging. Their faces were turned red, some of them had even triggered their internal power and had wrapped themselves in fiery lights and cawed like crows.\n“Ba-Bastard!” Ji Shu’s voice was trembling. He had just stamped his own son to death, now he saw Ji Xia showing of his power, which had nearly broken him down. He felt waves of scorching heat inside his chest, he shivered and almost coughed up blood.\n“Ji Xia! Your Magus Acupoints were broken...How could you...You...” said Ji Shu, who could barely stand. Ji Xia now had forty-nine awakened Magus Acupoints, while he himself had only thirty-two of them, which meant that Ji Xia might be more powerful than him.\nHe was so confident about defeating Ji Xia and take the position of the leader only a while ago. Now he felt like that was almost a joke.\n“Our bloodline granted us power!” Ji Xia was breathing calmly, his skin was glowing as magma. “Feel the power inside our bloodline, listen to the voice of our ancestors. As long as we’re alive, we are protected by our bloodline, which means there is always hope!”\n“Good! Xia!” Said Ji Kui, who was standing near the entrance of the Ancestral Temple. Ji Kui nodded appreciatively towards Ji Xia and continued, “The power of the bloodline is the most precious gift we have from our ancestors. As long as our bloodline continues, everything will be possible!”\nJi Hao popped up his eyes, stared at Ji Xia. Is this the magic power of the bloodline?\nAccording to Ji Hao’s knowledge from his previous life, even injuring the tendons and vessels could disable a Senior Magus, not to mention destroying all of his or her Magus Acupoints. However, in this world, the magic power of the bloodline had enabled Ji Xia to completely recover from the truculent injury within only a decade!\n“The power of the bloodline...” muttered Ji Hao. He then felt his internal power started to surge and his physical strength started to increase; he felt like his body had become a black hole, constantly attracting and absorbing power, strength and life force energy from everywhere.\n“Cut the crap! Let’s fight!” Ji Shu shouted madly out. His body transformed into a beam of dazzling fiery light and shot across the sky. After a while, he landed in the woods which was tens of miles away from the temple and the crowd.\n“Fight!” Ji Xia laughed aloud and leaped up, and flew towards the woods. Before Ji Xia landed steadily, Ji Shu shouted out, burst his body into flames and dashed towards Ji Xia.\nFour strong arms heavily clashed against each other. They then cast hundreds of hits against each other in the following moment.\nThe earth was shaking severely; the jungle within the radius of a few miles around had been blazed up; towering ancient trees had instantly been burned into ashes; the mountain started to crack; rocks had been burned into lava, which was splashing around by the impact waves, send by their clashes. Some of the lava even had been splashed miles away.\nJi Xia and Ji Shu were madly hitting each other with their bare fists, without any tricks or dodging. A thundering noise lingered in people’s ears.\nThis is how warriors fight in the Southern Wasteland. They will show no fear to their enemies; they do not dodge or flee; they use their strength to fight against their enemies, to smash and kill their enemies!\nJi Xia’s face had been ripped off, blood spurted out of his wounds and teeth exploded out from his mouth. But, new teeth were constantly growing back and wounds were constantly healing themselves.\nJi Shu’s skull was cracked and his face was even hollowed. Ji Xia’s punches were much heavier than his. Bone-chips flew out from his wounds on the face. However, Senior Magi had tremendous amounts of life force energy contained in their internal power, which allowed the self-healing.\nBoth, Ji Xia and Ji Shu, had triggered the internal power of the Fire Crow Clan’s bloodline. Their bodies were wrapped by a bright gold-fiery light, which dazzled the eyes of those who were relatively weaker; many in the crowd could only see a sweeping fire and light.\nAlong with an abrupt and almighty bang, Ji Xia took a deep breath then heavily punched Ji Shu for over a hundred times.\nJi Shu’s chest was exploded, ribs were cracked and broken into pieces. He flew backwards like a cannonball.\nThe mountain shook again, Ji Shu’s body heavily smashed into a hill miles away from the woods. The hill was blasted away and quickly burned into lava. Ji Shu lay in the lava, vomited blood and couldn't move an inch.\nThe woods had already become a lake of lava with a circumference of twenty miles. Ji Xia stepped on a fiery light ball and floated over the lake, while looking coldly at Ji Shu.\n“Ji Shu, my brother, you are not my rival. The position of the clan leader seems still to belong to me!”\nA fire was blazing under Ji Xia’s foot, the wounds on his face quickly healed.\n“Ji Xia, my brother, I have to give it a try, shouldn’t I?” said Ji Shu. He laughed wildly, a fiery light beamed out from his left arm, and an odd shaped wooden stick appeared in Ji Shu’s hands. The stick was engulfed by flames.\n“I happened to get a new inherited magic treasure...My brother, try to catch this!”\nJi Shu raised himself from the magma lake, his wounds also quickly healed themselves."

第十八章
“哈，哈哈，哈哈哈！”
姬昊高高举起双手放声狂呼，眸子骤然变成通红一片。
太可怕了，姬夏的修炼天赋，简直就和妖魔一样强悍。
姬昊记得清清楚楚，当年就在金乌岭祖庙中，姬夏和青茯被黑水玄蛇部暗算偷袭时，姬夏胸腹之间开辟的二十几处巫穴，都被黑水玄蛇部的歹毒巫器洞穿。
换成其他族人，一个巫穴被破，从此一辈子都一蹶不振。
但是姬夏十年蛰伏，居然避开了胸腹之间的那些被毁掉的巫穴，别开蹊径，在四肢重新开辟四十八处巫穴，一身巫力不仅没有衰落，反而比十年前更强大了许多。
不愧是被火鸦部的世代死敌黑水玄蛇部视为眼中钉、肉中刺，被黑水玄蛇部的巫祭和长老们称为千年以来最可怕敌人的姬夏。
“夏大兄，你是我们火鸦部最强的战士！”
“吼，吼吼，夏才有资格成为我们首领！”
“揍死他，打扁他的脑袋！ 夏，打断他的腰杆，拗断他的脖子！”
和姬昊一样，无数火鸦部镇守金乌岭圣地的守护战士雀跃咆哮，挥动着兵器大吼大叫。 无数族人气血翻滚，脸蛋变得通红一片，更有人激活了血脉力量，一片片火光环绕周身，嘴里更是发出‘嘎嘎’鸦鸣。
刚刚一脚踩死自己儿子的姬枢，心情正剧烈起伏，猛不丁的看到姬夏如此狂野的展示出自己全部的威势，气机冲撞之下，他的心头一阵阵火烫，一口逆血差点吐了出来。 “姬夏！
你被破了巫穴，你怎么还可能……”姬枢脑子里一阵阵的眩晕，姬夏身上足足有四十九处巫穴开辟，远比他身上三十二个巫穴多得多，实力自然也强出了一大截。
他想要谋算火鸦部的战士首领一职，现在看起来就有点像是笑话！
“祖先的血脉赐予了我们力量！” 姬夏大口大口的呼吸着，干瘪的、紧贴着筋骨的皮肤犹如熔岩一样熠熠发光：“用心体悟祖灵的呼唤，只要血脉还在我们体内流动，只要我们还活着，我们就有无穷的希望！”
“说得好啊，夏！” 姬奎站在祖庙入口处，赞赏的点了点头：“血脉之力，是我们族人最宝贵的东西。 只要还活着，只要血脉还在延续，就有无数的可能。”
姬昊瞪大眼看着姬夏，这就是血脉之力的神奇么？
但是在这个世界，拥有神奇的血脉之力，姬夏伤成了那个样子，居然都能在十年内重修回来！ “血脉的力量？”
姬昊体内气血一阵翻滚，五彩光芒不断闪烁，肉体力量一节、一节的缓慢提升着。 他的身体好像变成了一个黑洞，四周的天地灵气不断的向他的身体汇聚了过来。
小腹中的五彩火苗骤然膨胀了一倍大小，所有天地灵气都被五彩火苗吞噬了进去，然后转化为一条一条流光急速流转姬昊全身。 姬昊的身体极深处隐隐传来清脆的龙吟声，皮肤下的肌肉犹如水波一样起伏着。
“战！” 姬夏大笑一声，同样纵身跃起，一步跨过数十里地，和姬枢落在了同一片山林中。
四条粗壮的手臂重重的撞击在一起，随后弹指一挥间，两人的拳头相互之间交错了数百次。
大地不堪重负的悲鸣着，大块土地被高温烧成岩浆，沸腾的岩浆在拳劲的冲击下犹如浪潮一样向四周泼洒出来，大片岩浆甚至飞过数十里地，泼洒在了金乌岭山脚下。
‘啪啪啪’的巨响声不绝于耳，这是姬夏和姬枢的拳头在疯狂的轰击对方的身体。
没有任何技巧，没有任何闪避，南荒大巫的战斗就是这样的狂野而直接，面对面的站立，不闪避，不逃跑，没有任何畏惧，用最纯粹最狂暴的力量轰击敌人、轰碎敌人、轰杀敌人！
姬夏的脸颊裂开了，大片鲜血喷洒出来，一颗一颗犹如珠玉一样闪光的牙齿飞出，但是在牙床上立刻又有新的牙齿生长出来。
姬枢的面颊同样裂开，甚至凹陷了下去，姬夏的拳头比他沉重得多，他的面颊骨裂开，然后大片碎骨飞出。 但是大巫的生命精气犹如海潮一样浩瀚无边，碎裂飞出的骨骼重生而出，飞溅的血肉也在快速的生长出来。
两人同出一脉，开启的都是火鸦一族的祖传血脉之力，金红色的火光包裹着他们，强烈的火光刺痛了实力不够的族人的眼睛，数以万计的族人只能看到一团光，只能看到满天都是大火沸腾。
骤然一声巨响，姬夏一个深呼吸后爆出将近一百拳落在姬枢身上。
姬枢的两块胸肌炸开，十几根肋骨轰然炸裂，身体犹如出膛炮弹带起一道笔直的火光向后飞射。
大地再次震荡了一下，姬枢的身体重重撞在了十几里外一座高有三百多丈的大山上。 丛林茂密的山峰轰然炸开，无数山石瞬间被高温烧成了沸腾的岩浆。
两人战斗的地方已经变成了一个直径二十里的岩浆湖泊，姬夏脚踏一片火光，悬浮在岩浆上，冷眼看着数十里外不断吐血的姬枢。
“姬枢……阿弟，你还不是大兄的对手，金乌岭战士首领的职位，看来还是我的！”
烈火熊熊燃烧，姬夏被打得碎裂的面颊急速的愈合，眨眼间所有伤势都恢复如初。
“姬夏……大兄，不试试，我怎么甘心呢？” 姬枢‘咔咔’狂笑着，他的左臂上一道火光喷出，他双手紧握住了一根造型奇异，被一团一团烈火环绕的木杖。
“我新得了一件传承巫宝，大兄，试试接我一招！”
姬枢的身体冉冉飞起，身上的伤势同样在急速愈合。

Chapter 18 – Violence
Chapter 18 - Violence
“Haha! Haha! Hahaha!” Ji Hao raised his arms and shouted. His eyeballs suddenly turned red.
Ji Hao was deeply astonished by his father, who was so talented and powerful.
He clearly remembered, ten years ago, that battle against the Blackwater Serpent Clan in the Ancestral Temple at the Gold Black Mountain. Ji Xia and Qing Fu had been sneak-attacked by assassins. Ji Xia only had around twenty awakened Magus Acupoints at that time, every one of them had been punctured by poisonous weapons.
If this had happened to any other Senior Magus in the Fire Crow Clan, it would have been impossible for him or her to recover from such a damage. Normally speaking, damaging even the tiniest Magus Acupoint could disable a Senior Magus.
However, it had only taken Ji Xia a decade to awaken another forty-eight Magus Acupoints. He had given up on those damaged caves, found a way to awaken those inconspicuous Magus Acupoints in his arms and legs. Not only didn't he get demoted from the Senior Level, he had become even more powerful than ten years ago!
No wonder those elders and Maguspriests in the Black Water Serpent Clan called Ji Xia as their most horrible enemy in a thousand years. He had risen again after all of his Magus Acupoints were broken, and had become even more powerful!
“Xia! My brother! You’re the strongest warrior in our Fire Crow Clan!”
“Hey! Xia! You’re our leader! Only Xia is qualified to lead us!”
“Beat him! Xia! Beat him to death! Break his neck! Tear him apart!”
As same as Ji Hao, countless Holy Land warriors were waving their arms and weapons, growling half cheering and half raging. Their faces were turned red, some of them had even triggered their internal power and had wrapped themselves in fiery lights and cawed like crows.
“Ba-Bastard!” Ji Shu’s voice was trembling. He had just stamped his own son to death, now he saw Ji Xia showing of his power, which had nearly broken him down. He felt waves of scorching heat inside his chest, he shivered and almost coughed up blood.
“Ji Xia! Your Magus Acupoints were broken...How could you...You...” said Ji Shu, who could barely stand. Ji Xia now had forty-nine awakened Magus Acupoints, while he himself had only thirty-two of them, which meant that Ji Xia might be more powerful than him.
He was so confident about defeating Ji Xia and take the position of the leader only a while ago. Now he felt like that was almost a joke.
“Our bloodline granted us power!” Ji Xia was breathing calmly, his skin was glowing as magma. “Feel the power inside our bloodline, listen to the voice of our ancestors. As long as we’re alive, we are protected by our bloodline, which means there is always hope!”
“Good! Xia!” Said Ji Kui, who was standing near the entrance of the Ancestral Temple. Ji Kui nodded appreciatively towards Ji Xia and continued, “The power of the bloodline is the most precious gift we have from our ancestors. As long as our bloodline continues, everything will be possible!”
Ji Hao popped up his eyes, stared at Ji Xia. Is this the magic power of the bloodline?
According to Ji Hao’s knowledge from his previous life, even injuring the tendons and vessels could disable a Senior Magus, not to mention destroying all of his or her Magus Acupoints. However, in this world, the magic power of the bloodline had enabled Ji Xia to completely recover from the truculent injury within only a decade!
“The power of the bloodline...” muttered Ji Hao. He then felt his internal power started to surge and his physical strength started to increase; he felt like his body had become a black hole, constantly attracting and absorbing power, strength and life force energy from everywhere.
“Cut the crap! Let’s fight!” Ji Shu shouted madly out. His body transformed into a beam of dazzling fiery light and shot across the sky. After a while, he landed in the woods which was tens of miles away from the temple and the crowd.
“Fight!” Ji Xia laughed aloud and leaped up, and flew towards the woods. Before Ji Xia landed steadily, Ji Shu shouted out, burst his body into flames and dashed towards Ji Xia.
Four strong arms heavily clashed against each other. They then cast hundreds of hits against each other in the following moment.
The earth was shaking severely; the jungle within the radius of a few miles around had been blazed up; towering ancient trees had instantly been burned into ashes; the mountain started to crack; rocks had been burned into lava, which was splashing around by the impact waves, send by their clashes. Some of the lava even had been splashed miles away.
Ji Xia and Ji Shu were madly hitting each other with their bare fists, without any tricks or dodging. A thundering noise lingered in people’s ears.
This is how warriors fight in the Southern Wasteland. They will show no fear to their enemies; they do not dodge or flee; they use their strength to fight against their enemies, to smash and kill their enemies!
Ji Xia’s face had been ripped off, blood spurted out of his wounds and teeth exploded out from his mouth. But, new teeth were constantly growing back and wounds were constantly healing themselves.
Ji Shu’s skull was cracked and his face was even hollowed. Ji Xia’s punches were much heavier than his. Bone-chips flew out from his wounds on the face. However, Senior Magi had tremendous amounts of life force energy contained in their internal power, which allowed the self-healing.
Both, Ji Xia and Ji Shu, had triggered the internal power of the Fire Crow Clan’s bloodline. Their bodies were wrapped by a bright gold-fiery light, which dazzled the eyes of those who were relatively weaker; many in the crowd could only see a sweeping fire and light.
Along with an abrupt and almighty bang, Ji Xia took a deep breath then heavily punched Ji Shu for over a hundred times.
Ji Shu’s chest was exploded, ribs were cracked and broken into pieces. He flew backwards like a cannonball.
The mountain shook again, Ji Shu’s body heavily smashed into a hill miles away from the woods. The hill was blasted away and quickly burned into lava. Ji Shu lay in the lava, vomited blood and couldn't move an inch.
The woods had already become a lake of lava with a circumference of twenty miles. Ji Xia stepped on a fiery light ball and floated over the lake, while looking coldly at Ji Shu.
“Ji Shu, my brother, you are not my rival. The position of the clan leader seems still to belong to me!”
A fire was blazing under Ji Xia’s foot, the wounds on his face quickly healed.
“Ji Xia, my brother, I have to give it a try, shouldn’t I?” said Ji Shu. He laughed wildly, a fiery light beamed out from his left arm, and an odd shaped wooden stick appeared in Ji Shu’s hands. The stick was engulfed by flames.
“I happened to get a new inherited magic treasure...My brother, try to catch this!”
Ji Shu raised himself from the magma lake, his wounds also quickly healed themselves.

"value": "Chapter 42: Help Me Look for the Stone\nHalf an hour later, Cheng Yu arrived at Xinguang Nightclub. The moment he entered, all the attendants greeted him in a respectful manner, ”Young Master Yu.”\nQin Canghai had emphasized to them that the situation was no longer the same. He had become someone else’s subordinate. As for the person’s strength, he will never be able to contend against him. He did not wish for the people working for him to cause any problems or difficulties for him.\nActually, even if Qin Canghai did not say anything, they would also do it. All of them had witnessed Cheng Yu’s might. Who would even dare to offend him right now?\n“Young Master Yu, Let me bring you to see Boss Qin,” The previous second floor manager saw Cheng Yu walking up, so he greeted him respectfully.\nWhen he entered the room, Qin Canghai and the others immediately stood up. They welcomed Cheng Yu and said, ”Young Master Yu.”\n“Alright. Sit,” Cheng Yu said bluntly and went to sit in the boss’s seat that Qin Canghai had been sitting at.\n“I am here today to ask you guys to handle some matters. Your gang has how many people in total?”\n“Currently there’s 528 of them. However, some of them are still recovering from their injuries while some are working in the three different nightclubs.”\n“Ok. Help me to gather all those who are free. I have some things to brief you all on.”\n“Ok. I will arrange it now. I need around half an hour to gather everyone,” Qin Canghai said before going out of the room.\nCheng Yu looked at the other two bosses and then said to Bao Lang, ”I am hungry. Get someone to cook some food for me.”\n“Ok. I will handle it immediately.” When Bao Lang heard Cheng Yu words, he felt his heart palpitating. When he looked into Cheng Yu’s eyes, he remembered what happened previously. It made help felt extremely scared as he was worried that if he was not cautious, he could provoke him accidentally.\nWhen he looked at the recovered Wu Chang, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said, ”They should have told you about what I wish to convey to you, right?”\n“Yes. I have already handled the procedures. They are all on the table. Please take a look at them.”\nCheng Yu turned his head and saw the documents were indeed on Qin Canghai’s desk. Cheng Yu opened them up and looked. Inside contained some documents as well as an ATM card.\nCheng Yu took out the ATM card and asked, ”How much money is on the card?”\n“110 million.”\n“Do you have any wife or children?”\n“A wife and a daughter.”\n“You can keep this card since you can no longer practice martial arts. In the future, you will just need to work for me. If I am satisfied, I can teach you something more powerful than those fighting techniques you all possess currently.”\n“Really?!” Wu Chang said excitedly. Something more powerful than practicing martial arts? Could it be the skills that Second Brother told him about before? The skill of blocking bullets and cleaving people with a wave of a hand?\n“Whether it was real, you will know in the near future. I believe that you should also know I do have such methods, like the one I used to treat your body.”\n“Yes. I believe you, Young Master Yu. I will definitely handle all the jobs well.”\nAt this moment, Bao Lang brought several people in. When Cheng Yu saw his dinner was here, he was elated.\nWhen Cheng Yu saw the table was fill with food, he immediately started gorging himself. After coming to this world, the only thing that had always lingered in his mind would be either be beautiful ladies or delicious food. Previously when he was in the Immortal World, the food there was horrible. Comparing it to the Immortal World, the food here had a wide range of flavors.\n“Good! Let’s go there together.” Finished speaking, Cheng Yu turned his body and walked towards the room’s direction.\nWhen he entered the room, the 300 people were densely packed together. When they saw the three bosses were following behind Cheng Yu, it caused them to not know what to do. They looked at Cheng Yu with a sense of fear. Those bloody scenes were still stuck in their memories.\n“I know all of you find it very strange, but let me finish what I’m saying. I just need you guys to help me find a stone. The reward will be $10000.”\nWhen they heard that a stone was worth $10000, everyone started to become very excited. “Young Master Yu, may I know what kind of stones we are looking for?” One of the guys asked.\n“As for how it looks, I am unable to tell you. However, I have a method to allow you guys to be able to recognize it.” After he finished his sentence, Cheng Yu stretched out his right hand slowly and waved. A strain of white light was emitted overhead and formed a white ball, which was revolving continuously. Everyone was amazed. What was this? Immortal law?\nCheng Yu raised his hand and swung downward. The white gas turned into traces of white light before entering everyone’s body. All of them were shocked! They started to touch their body to ensure everything was alright.\n“Relax, I have just executed some tricks. From this moment onwards, for three days you will be able to track the stones’ odor. As long as the stone is within a six feet radius of you, you will be able to feel them. As long as you are able to find these kind of stones, not only will you be receiving cash, you may receive something more precious than cash. Therefore, in these three days, whether or not you will be able to receive these prizes will all depends on your efforts. In addition, if you are able to find them, you must clarify the origin of the stones!”\n“The leader for this task will be Wu Chang. The two of you will still be responsible for running the nightclub. I will make a move first. I will return in three days.\nWhen he reached the first floor, he walked towards the bar and asked for a glass of beer. When the bar girl saw Cheng Yu, she immediately poured him a glass. Cheng Yu took a sip and immediately frowned. This was his first time drinking beer. Whenever he went out to eat, he always saw people drinking it. Moreover, the majority of them were toasting each other with it. The moment he tried beer, he felt that it tasted like piss! To one’s surprise, they were even drinking it so excitedly. In this world, people’s tastes were truly unique.\nAlthough he didn’t like the taste, Cheng Yu slowly finished drinking the beer while looking at the wild males and females dancing.\nAlthough the surroundings were very noisy, at this moment, Cheng Yu’s heart was in tranquility. He would never be able to experience such life in the Immortal World. This was what everyone probably had always desired in his Immortal World.\nWhile drinking his beer, Cheng Yu looked at his surroundings. He swept over a group of people who were preparing to leave the nightclub and frowned. Why was she with this group of fellows? She was even drunk? He left his cup on the bar and walked out.\n“Nana, it’s so late already. Why not let the class monitor send you back?” A beautiful woman held onto the intoxicated Yao Na and said.\n“That’s right! Nana, I think it would be better for me to send you back! I have a car, it would be very fast.” One of the tall guys who was wearing black framed glasses said.\n“I think I should be the one sending her back! Both of us live inside the school. It would be more convenient!” He Jian went forward and said.\nOriginally, Yao Na was supposed to have dinner with him. He did not expect that her university dormitory friends would call her out. They told her to go over to Xinguang Nightclub to have a small student meeting as well as to bond together.\nOf course, He Jian was not willing to. However, Yao Na was unable to reject the invitation. With no other choice, he tagged along. At first, it was still tolerable. However, the moment they knew that he was not Yao Na’s boyfriend, they started to exclude him in their conversation and treated him as if he was invisible. A few of the women had also started to match make Yao Na with the class monitor.\nHow could this have not made him angry? He had used a lot of effort and faced many difficulties before she agreed to have a meal together with him. It was supposed to be a well-planned date for He Jian, but it was destroyed by this stupid meeting.\nWhat’s worse was that this group of people actually thought of every possible way to force Yao Na to drink alcohol. Obviously they were harboring malicious intentions as the glasses guy kept on signaling the woman with his eyes. The two of them kept on pouring alcohol for Yao Na. Currently, Yao Na was already drunk. This women suggested to let the glasses guy send her home? Isn’t this sending a lamb into a tiger’s den?\nWhat a good scheme! This glasses guy definitely had been lusting for her for a long time now, and she was going to fall into his hand soon. Since these people didn’t like him, He Jian decided that he definitely had to win over the rights to send her back!\n“I don’t think this is a good idea. You are not her boyfriend and Nana has gotten drunk. What if you do something obscene to her?” The beautiful woman opposed immediately.\n“Hmph! Who are you to her? To put it in a nice way, you are just her friend. You don’t even have any relationship with her. Furthermore, don’t think that I am unable to see the trap you guys have placed for Yao Na.” Since it had come to this, He Jian no longer cared. If he didn’t do anything right now, she would definitely become someone else’s tonight. Hence, he pointed at the beautiful woman and the glasses guy as he retorted.\n“My friend here! Food can be eaten randomly, but words can’t be spoken irresponsibly. What relations do we have with Yao Na? We were friends for four years! Even if we were to say we were brother and sister, it is also not too excessive. Could it be that we would hurt her? You have only been her colleague for a few days.” The glasses guy pushed up his glasses and rebutted sternly.\n“Hmph! It’s just unpleasant to hear! That’s all. In any case, you cannot take her away!” None of them wished to compromise.\n“I want to go home!” Yao Na said uncomfortably in the beautiful woman’s bosom. Subsequently, she pushed her away and walked a few steps before falling on the ground and vomited.\nCheng Yu walked over and smiled, ”Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect my Yao Na had so many caring friends. I am touched.”\n“Who are you?” The glasses guy said after he heard Cheng Yu’s words.\n“I am Yao Na’s husband,” Cheng Yu said shamelessly.\n“Cheng Yu, what are you doing here? Furthermore, please pay attention to your identity when you speak. You are just Yao Na’s student, nothing more,” He Jian said with a gloomy face.\n“So it’s just a student. I didn’t expect that students now are so shameless. They even dare to hit on their own teachers.”\nCheng Yu did not pay any attention to them as he walked to Yao Na. He pushed the beautiful woman away as he carried Yao Na up.\n“What are you doing? Put her down!” After getting pushed aside by Cheng Yu, she saw him carrying Yao Na, so she shouted angrily."

第四十二章
半个多小时后，程宇来到新光夜总会，一进门，一个个服务员都恭敬的对着程宇打招呼，“宇少。”
这可是秦沧海特别跟他们强调的，现在一切都不一样，自己也成了别人的手下，而且对方的实力明显不是自己能抗衡的，可不希望下面的人再不董事给自己惹麻烦。
其实就算秦沧海不跟他们交待，他们也会这么做，在新光的所有工作人员都见识见识了程宇威风，谁敢去得罪他。
“宇少，我带你去见秦爷。” 上次那个二楼大堂经理看到程宇走上前恭敬的说道。
“嗯。” 一进房间，原本坐着的奉沧海三人都站了起来，迎上来说道：“宇少。”
程宇也不客气，直接坐到了原本秦沧海的位子，而秦沧海就在下首坐下了。
“今天来是要找你们办点事，你们帮派一共有多少人。”
“现在一共528人，不过有一些还在养伤，而还有一些都在三个夜总会值班。”
“嗯，你将所有闲着没事的都召集过来，我有事要交代。”
“好的，我出去安排，大概需要半个小时才能集合完毕。” 秦沧海说完便走出房间。
程宇看着在座的两人，然后对着暴狼说道：“我还没吃饭，你叫人帮我弄点吃的来。”
暴狼听到这话，如蒙大赦，看着程宇眼神，暴狼就感觉心悸，上次的事情实在让暴狼太害怕了，真怕自己一不小心又惹到他了。
看着稳稳当当坐在那里的吴常，程宇开口说道：“他们应该跟你交待过我的话吧！”
“是的，那些手续我已经办好了，就在桌子上，你可以看看。”
程宇转过头看着秦沧海的办公桌上果然有一个文件袋，程宇拿起来打开一看，里面有一些文件，还附着一张银行卡。
程宇拿出银行卡问道：“你这卡里有多少钱？”
“一亿一千万。”
“你有妻儿吗？”
“有一个妻子和一个女儿。”
“这卡你留着，你也没有武功了，以后就专门给我办事，如果我满意了我可以让你修习比你们这些花架子更厉害的东西。”
吴常激动的说道，比习武更厉害的东西？ 难道就是老二说的挡子弹和隔空劈人？
“是不是真的以后你就知道了，我想你应该相信我有这样的手段，就像治好你的身体一样。”
“是的，我相信，宇少，我一定好好给你做事。”
这时暴狼带着几个人端着饭菜进来了，看到吴常满脸高兴激动，不名所以，不过他知道现在是不适合问的。
程宇看着桌上的饭菜马上大吃起来，来到这个世界，最让他回味无穷的除了美女就是美食了，前世的菜肴实在没法跟这里的比，这里的口味实在是太多了。
“好，咱们一起过去。” 说罢，便起身向那边走去。
进了大房间，三百人密密麻麻的站在房间，看着三位老大跟在一个小年轻后面，让另外两个夜总会的人不知所以，而新光的看到程宇既有兴奋又有害怕，那天血腥的场面一直在他们脑中回放。
“我知道大家也很奇怪，不过这些都不重要，重要的是，只要帮我找到一块这样的石头就奖励一万块，找的多奖励就越多。”
听到说一块石头一万块，大家激动起来了，这可真是好事啊。 “宇少，那我们要找什么样的石头呢？”
“至于是什么样子我没法告诉你们，不过我有办法让你们认出来。” 说罢，程宇慢慢的伸开右手往众人头上一挥，一道白光射出在房间上空形成一团白色的气体在不停旋转，看的大家一片惊奇？ 这是什么？
程宇扬起的手往下一甩，空中的白气团分成一丝一丝的分别进了每个人的身体之中，大家一片骇然，全都不停的摸着自己的身体。
“放心，我只是给大家弄了个小把戏，现在开始，三天，三天之内，你们能够感觉到这种石头里面散发出的气息，只要石头离你们六尺的距离，你们自然能找到它们。 只要你们帮我找到这些石头，你们得到的不仅是金钱，还有比金钱更宝贵的东西。
“这些事就有吴常你全权负责，你们两个还是负责夜总会，我先走了，三天之后我再来。”
来到一楼，一个穿着暴露的狂野艳女正在随着劲爆的舞曲扭动着，而台下不管男男女女的疯狂尖叫着。 其风骚的程度就是比起那前世的狐族都有过之而无不及。
尽管不喜欢这味道，程宇还是笑看着那些疯狂的激情男女们的表演慢慢的喝着溲水。
虽然周围环境嘈杂，可是此时程宇的内心却是一片宁静，这种生活在仙界是永远无法体会的，想必这就是有情有欲的世界吧，这才是最真实的世界。
程宇喝着啤酒看着全场，扫过一群正准备出夜总会的人时，皱起眉头，她怎么跟那小子跑到这里来了？ 还喝成这样？
于是将杯子放在吧台上，起身也跟着走了出去。 “娜娜，现在这么晚了，要不让班长送你回去吧！” 一个打扮妖艳的女人扶着醉熏熏的姚娜说道。
娜娜，还是让我送你回去吧！ 我有车，很快的。” 一个戴着黑框眼睛的高个男子顺着女人的话说道。
“还是我送她回去吧！ 我跟她都住在学校，也比较方便。”
本来今晚姚娜答应跟他一起吃晚饭，可是没想到她这捞什子大学舍友打了个电话来说找了很多在云海的大学同学，晚上一起到新光夜总会来开个小小同学会，大家聚一聚联络联络感情。
赫健当然不乐意了，可是姚娜也推辞不得，只能跟着一起过来了。 刚开始还好，可是知道自己不是姚娜的男朋友后，那些同学顿时将他给排斥了，几个女人不停的撮合着姚娜跟那个班长两人，直接把她当成了透明人。
这能让人不生气么，废了九牛二虎之力，好不容易让她答应跟自己吃饭，结果一个好好的一个约会，全让这群贱人糟蹋了。
更可恨的是，这群人竟然想方设法的给姚娜灌酒，摆明了不怀好意，再加上那个眼镜仔时不时的跟那个女人对眼色，两人一搭一和的给姚娜倒酒，肯定是安排了后手，现在姚娜醉熏熏的，这个女人提出让眼镜仔送她回去，这不是羊入虎口么？
你妈的，打的好算盘，这只羊老子已经馋涎很久了，现在要入也是入老子的虎口，这些人即使不待见自己，自己也要争取把她送回去。
“这怎么行？ 你又不是她男朋友，娜娜又喝醉了，万一被你怎么样找谁说理去。” 那个妖艳女子立刻反对道。
“哼，难道你们就是她什么人，说的好听点你们是她同学，说的远了，你们跟她八竿子都打不着，一毛钱的关系都没有，而且别以为你们俩给姚娜设套我看不出来。” 都到这时候了，赫健也顾不得那么多了，现在不出手，这羊就真的让别人弄到手了，于是指着妖艳女子和眼镜仔说道。
“兄弟，饭可以乱吃，话可不能乱说，我们跟娜娜是什么关系，那是四年的同学情谊，说我们是兄弟姐妹都不为过，难道我们会害她么？ 你不过是跟她做了几天同事而已。”
眼镜仔扶了下眼镜，义正严辞的说道。 “哼，说的好听，反正你们不能将她带走。”
“我要回家，呕！” 姚娜在妖艳女子怀里难受的说道，接着便推开女人走了两步，跌倒在地，吐了起来。
程宇走过来，笑着说道：“啧啧，没想到我家娜娜有这么多人关心，真是让我感动。”
“你是什么人？” 眼镜仔听到程宇的话，语气不善的说道。
“我是娜娜的老公。” 程宇很不要脸的说道。
“程宇，你在这里干什么？ 还有，你说话可要注意你自己的身份，你只不过是姚娜的学生而已。” 赫健也是阴沉着脸说道。
“原来是学生，没想到现在的学生竟然这么无耻了，竟然敢打自己老师的注意。”
程宇也不理他们，直接走到姚娜身边，拨开蹲在地方扶着姚娜吐的女人，将姚娜横抱了起来。
放开她。” 女人被程宇拨开，见他竟然抱着姚娜，生气的说道。

Chapter 42: Help Me Look for the Stone
Half an hour later, Cheng Yu arrived at Xinguang Nightclub. The moment he entered, all the attendants greeted him in a respectful manner, ”Young Master Yu.”
Qin Canghai had emphasized to them that the situation was no longer the same. He had become someone else’s subordinate. As for the person’s strength, he will never be able to contend against him. He did not wish for the people working for him to cause any problems or difficulties for him.
Actually, even if Qin Canghai did not say anything, they would also do it. All of them had witnessed Cheng Yu’s might. Who would even dare to offend him right now?
“Young Master Yu, Let me bring you to see Boss Qin,” The previous second floor manager saw Cheng Yu walking up, so he greeted him respectfully.
When he entered the room, Qin Canghai and the others immediately stood up. They welcomed Cheng Yu and said, ”Young Master Yu.”
“Alright. Sit,” Cheng Yu said bluntly and went to sit in the boss’s seat that Qin Canghai had been sitting at.
“I am here today to ask you guys to handle some matters. Your gang has how many people in total?”
“Currently there’s 528 of them. However, some of them are still recovering from their injuries while some are working in the three different nightclubs.”
“Ok. Help me to gather all those who are free. I have some things to brief you all on.”
“Ok. I will arrange it now. I need around half an hour to gather everyone,” Qin Canghai said before going out of the room.
Cheng Yu looked at the other two bosses and then said to Bao Lang, ”I am hungry. Get someone to cook some food for me.”
“Ok. I will handle it immediately.” When Bao Lang heard Cheng Yu words, he felt his heart palpitating. When he looked into Cheng Yu’s eyes, he remembered what happened previously. It made help felt extremely scared as he was worried that if he was not cautious, he could provoke him accidentally.
When he looked at the recovered Wu Chang, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said, ”They should have told you about what I wish to convey to you, right?”
“Yes. I have already handled the procedures. They are all on the table. Please take a look at them.”
Cheng Yu turned his head and saw the documents were indeed on Qin Canghai’s desk. Cheng Yu opened them up and looked. Inside contained some documents as well as an ATM card.
Cheng Yu took out the ATM card and asked, ”How much money is on the card?”
“110 million.”
“Do you have any wife or children?”
“A wife and a daughter.”
“You can keep this card since you can no longer practice martial arts. In the future, you will just need to work for me. If I am satisfied, I can teach you something more powerful than those fighting techniques you all possess currently.”
“Really?!” Wu Chang said excitedly. Something more powerful than practicing martial arts? Could it be the skills that Second Brother told him about before? The skill of blocking bullets and cleaving people with a wave of a hand?
“Whether it was real, you will know in the near future. I believe that you should also know I do have such methods, like the one I used to treat your body.”
“Yes. I believe you, Young Master Yu. I will definitely handle all the jobs well.”
At this moment, Bao Lang brought several people in. When Cheng Yu saw his dinner was here, he was elated.
When Cheng Yu saw the table was fill with food, he immediately started gorging himself. After coming to this world, the only thing that had always lingered in his mind would be either be beautiful ladies or delicious food. Previously when he was in the Immortal World, the food there was horrible. Comparing it to the Immortal World, the food here had a wide range of flavors.
“Good! Let’s go there together.” Finished speaking, Cheng Yu turned his body and walked towards the room’s direction.
When he entered the room, the 300 people were densely packed together. When they saw the three bosses were following behind Cheng Yu, it caused them to not know what to do. They looked at Cheng Yu with a sense of fear. Those bloody scenes were still stuck in their memories.
“I know all of you find it very strange, but let me finish what I’m saying. I just need you guys to help me find a stone. The reward will be $10000.”
When they heard that a stone was worth $10000, everyone started to become very excited. “Young Master Yu, may I know what kind of stones we are looking for?” One of the guys asked.
“As for how it looks, I am unable to tell you. However, I have a method to allow you guys to be able to recognize it.” After he finished his sentence, Cheng Yu stretched out his right hand slowly and waved. A strain of white light was emitted overhead and formed a white ball, which was revolving continuously. Everyone was amazed. What was this? Immortal law?
Cheng Yu raised his hand and swung downward. The white gas turned into traces of white light before entering everyone’s body. All of them were shocked! They started to touch their body to ensure everything was alright.
“Relax, I have just executed some tricks. From this moment onwards, for three days you will be able to track the stones’ odor. As long as the stone is within a six feet radius of you, you will be able to feel them. As long as you are able to find these kind of stones, not only will you be receiving cash, you may receive something more precious than cash. Therefore, in these three days, whether or not you will be able to receive these prizes will all depends on your efforts. In addition, if you are able to find them, you must clarify the origin of the stones!”
“The leader for this task will be Wu Chang. The two of you will still be responsible for running the nightclub. I will make a move first. I will return in three days.
When he reached the first floor, he walked towards the bar and asked for a glass of beer. When the bar girl saw Cheng Yu, she immediately poured him a glass. Cheng Yu took a sip and immediately frowned. This was his first time drinking beer. Whenever he went out to eat, he always saw people drinking it. Moreover, the majority of them were toasting each other with it. The moment he tried beer, he felt that it tasted like piss! To one’s surprise, they were even drinking it so excitedly. In this world, people’s tastes were truly unique.
Although he didn’t like the taste, Cheng Yu slowly finished drinking the beer while looking at the wild males and females dancing.
Although the surroundings were very noisy, at this moment, Cheng Yu’s heart was in tranquility. He would never be able to experience such life in the Immortal World. This was what everyone probably had always desired in his Immortal World.
While drinking his beer, Cheng Yu looked at his surroundings. He swept over a group of people who were preparing to leave the nightclub and frowned. Why was she with this group of fellows? She was even drunk? He left his cup on the bar and walked out.
“Nana, it’s so late already. Why not let the class monitor send you back?” A beautiful woman held onto the intoxicated Yao Na and said.
“That’s right! Nana, I think it would be better for me to send you back! I have a car, it would be very fast.” One of the tall guys who was wearing black framed glasses said.
“I think I should be the one sending her back! Both of us live inside the school. It would be more convenient!” He Jian went forward and said.
Originally, Yao Na was supposed to have dinner with him. He did not expect that her university dormitory friends would call her out. They told her to go over to Xinguang Nightclub to have a small student meeting as well as to bond together.
Of course, He Jian was not willing to. However, Yao Na was unable to reject the invitation. With no other choice, he tagged along. At first, it was still tolerable. However, the moment they knew that he was not Yao Na’s boyfriend, they started to exclude him in their conversation and treated him as if he was invisible. A few of the women had also started to match make Yao Na with the class monitor.
How could this have not made him angry? He had used a lot of effort and faced many difficulties before she agreed to have a meal together with him. It was supposed to be a well-planned date for He Jian, but it was destroyed by this stupid meeting.
What’s worse was that this group of people actually thought of every possible way to force Yao Na to drink alcohol. Obviously they were harboring malicious intentions as the glasses guy kept on signaling the woman with his eyes. The two of them kept on pouring alcohol for Yao Na. Currently, Yao Na was already drunk. This women suggested to let the glasses guy send her home? Isn’t this sending a lamb into a tiger’s den?
What a good scheme! This glasses guy definitely had been lusting for her for a long time now, and she was going to fall into his hand soon. Since these people didn’t like him, He Jian decided that he definitely had to win over the rights to send her back!
“I don’t think this is a good idea. You are not her boyfriend and Nana has gotten drunk. What if you do something obscene to her?” The beautiful woman opposed immediately.
“Hmph! Who are you to her? To put it in a nice way, you are just her friend. You don’t even have any relationship with her. Furthermore, don’t think that I am unable to see the trap you guys have placed for Yao Na.” Since it had come to this, He Jian no longer cared. If he didn’t do anything right now, she would definitely become someone else’s tonight. Hence, he pointed at the beautiful woman and the glasses guy as he retorted.
“My friend here! Food can be eaten randomly, but words can’t be spoken irresponsibly. What relations do we have with Yao Na? We were friends for four years! Even if we were to say we were brother and sister, it is also not too excessive. Could it be that we would hurt her? You have only been her colleague for a few days.” The glasses guy pushed up his glasses and rebutted sternly.
“Hmph! It’s just unpleasant to hear! That’s all. In any case, you cannot take her away!” None of them wished to compromise.
“I want to go home!” Yao Na said uncomfortably in the beautiful woman’s bosom. Subsequently, she pushed her away and walked a few steps before falling on the ground and vomited.
Cheng Yu walked over and smiled, ”Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect my Yao Na had so many caring friends. I am touched.”
“Who are you?” The glasses guy said after he heard Cheng Yu’s words.
“I am Yao Na’s husband,” Cheng Yu said shamelessly.
“Cheng Yu, what are you doing here? Furthermore, please pay attention to your identity when you speak. You are just Yao Na’s student, nothing more,” He Jian said with a gloomy face.
“So it’s just a student. I didn’t expect that students now are so shameless. They even dare to hit on their own teachers.”
Cheng Yu did not pay any attention to them as he walked to Yao Na. He pushed the beautiful woman away as he carried Yao Na up.
“What are you doing? Put her down!” After getting pushed aside by Cheng Yu, she saw him carrying Yao Na, so she shouted angrily.

However, Mo Wen knew that it might have been known to the real person in power in the Su Clan as the death of two retainers was not a small matter after all.\nAlthough it was uncertain if Mo Wen was directly involved in the death of the two retainers, one would know that there must be some form of involvement if they were smart enough. A big family clan would not take any rash action until they had ascertained the real strength of Mo Wen.\nFor the next two days, Mo Wen was in his room putting all his effort into concocting the Blood, Vitality & Qi transmuting powder such that he didn’t even go out for a meal.\nOn the third morning, Mo Wen emerged from his room with a simple smile on his face. Although he looked quite tired, his spirit was obviously high.\nAfter having some food at the canteen, he intended to go for his class.\nOn the way, a slender figure suddenly caught his eyes and his pupils constricted while walking towards it subconsciously.\nA lady in light yellow dress was standing quietly on the bridge in front of the pond with eyes that were calm and tranquil. She was standing there but seemed not belonging to this world, having a refined disposition that was beyond this secular world.\nIt was weird that no one was near such a lady with incomparable beauty and her surrounding was as cold as her temperaments. Those bachelors could be blind not to see her exceptional beauty.\n“Miss Mo, we meet again.” Mo Wen stood next to Mo Qingge, thought for a moment but was uncertain of what to say so he could only call her Miss.\nMo Qingge seemed to know that he was going to walk towards her as she looked as indifferent as usual without any expression of surprise. She simply furrowed her brows slightly seemingly disliking anyone’s disturbance, “Mo Wen.” Mo Qingge glanced at Mo Wen indifferently. A simple two words and no other words after that.\nHowever, Mo Wen was still a little surprised that she could remember his name. Then, he smiled as it was at least better than being a stranger.\nHe raised his lips and observed Mo Qingge carefully.\nHe didn’t try to hid his gaze and had watched her openly. For a girl whom he was familiar with, such gaze seemed a little irrational. However, Mo Qingge was obviously oblivious of it and treating him like thin air which allowed him to scan her brazenly.\nMo Wen naturally was not attracted by Mo Qingge’s beauty as he had seen this face so many times before. Although her beauty was still stunning to Mo Wen, it was impossible to make him lose self-control.\nWith such careful observation, he was only trying to observe her expressions and complexion in order to diagnose her illness\nAfter a long while, Mo Wen retracted his gaze and was slightly relieved. The Massacre’s Host of Mo Qingge was relatively stable as it didn’t have the symptoms of being on the verge of flaring, so it was estimated that it wouldn’t have any problem within two weeks. Hence, he also gained sufficient time for preparation.\nRegarding Mo Qingge’s matter, he was naturally keeping it in mind. With his title of Miracle Physician and his research of the Massacre’s Host for more than ten years, it was naturally impossible to have no achievement at all. He definitely had a few methods of suppressing the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host and certainly able to weaken the flaring of the Massacre’s Host to a certain extent.\nSo far till now, he only knew three effective methods of suppressing the Massacre’s Host.\nOne of them was to have things that would ease the heart and calm the mind as the devil began with the heart. When the soul remained still, the will wouldn’t be affected regardless of its heinous Massacre spirit.\nThe Massacre spirit could do nothing to Mo Qingge if she was not demonised and had pure thoughts.\nHowever, the thing that could ease the heart and calm the mind in order to suppress the Massacre’s Host was naturally not simple things. They had to be some unique things from this world as the ordinary things would not have any effect.\nWith Mo Wen’s ability and reputation in the past lifetime, he only managed to find a handful of items with such efficacy. With the present situation, it would be impossible for him to find items with such efficacy in such short period of time.\nBesides this, the second method was the unique set of acupuncture techniques which was directed at countering the Massacre’s Host. He had created a set of acupuncture techniques called the Merging of rivers into oceans. The effect of these techniques was to conciliate the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host, like the rivers merging into the oceans orderly and neatly, so as to impede the flaring of the Massacre spirit to a great extent.\nHowever, the utilization of the “Merging of Rivers Into Oceans” techniques had a high demand of Inner Qi from the person. It would difficult to perpetuate without the Cultivation of Sea of Qi realm and even after the complete performance of such techniques, the effect might not be satisfactory.\nThe higher the Cultivation, the stronger the effect of the techniques of Merging of rivers into oceans would be.\nWith his present Cultivation, even if he was to perform these techniques, the effect would be too small.\nThe third method would be medical suppression. The special ingredients of the medicine would change the internal condition of the body so that the body would suppress the Massacre spirit on its own.\nAfter all, the source of the Massacre’s Host was in the body, growing and living together. When the body had some symptoms, the Massacre’s Host would be affected consequently.\nIn the many years of research, Mo Wen had researched a kind of medicine that could counter the Massacre’s Host named Pill of Purifying heart, which was effective in weakening the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host during the flare.\nUnder the present situation, naturally the third method of medical suppression would be the most possible and would be of most help to Mo Qingge.\nHowever, the medicinal herbs for this medicine was quite complex. Although Mo Wen was mindful of this matter, he had yet to collate all the medicinal herbs.\nWhen he was at Tong Ren Tang the other day, other than buying the medicinal herbs for the concoction of the Blood, Vitality & Qi transmuting powder, he also bought quite a few medicinal herbs for the concoction of Pill of Purifying heart. Most of them were cheap and useful medicinal herbs as he couldn’t afford those expensive medicinal herbs.\nThere were some medicinal herbs that he could not find as Tong Ren Tang did not have them due to their rarity.\nHe planned that during this trip to Charm City, he must not only think of the ways to earn some money, but also look for these medicinal herbs that he lacked. As Charm City was known as the World Trade Center, perhaps he would be able to find the things he wanted.\n“Give me your contact details, I need to be able to contact you anytime,” Mo Wen muttered lightly while lifting his head towards Mo Qingge.\n“Why do you contact me?” Mo Qingge smiled lightly for once as this guy in front of her was too direct.\n“I will help you to pull through this crisis and I will not let you die,” Mo Wen smiled and said in a normal tone. A statement that might seem like an excuse in the ears of others, yet it sounded so utterly calm.\n“You have not asked if I am willing to accept your help. How can anyone believe you?” Mo Qingge curled her lips and felt that this guy in front of her was a little arrogant and conceited. What made he think that he could help her to pull through this crisis?\nNobody knew the horror of the Massacre’s Host better than her. Although the story was moving and Mo Wen was engrossed in telling it, a story was just a story and reality was still a reality. In the story, he didn’t manage to save his sister eventually.\n“I will help you regardless of your willingness to accept it. I mentioned that I will try my best to keep you alive,” Mo Wen diverted his gaze towards the water lotus in the pond. Regardless of whether she trusted him, he couldn’t just watch without doing anything.\n“You seem interesting and even force help upon others. However, are you really thinking of helping others? You are not trying to help me so as to make up for your own regrets,” Mo Qingge smiled helplessly at Mo Wen’s arrogance. Although she was quite even-tempered, no one had ever been so arrogant towards her."

杀了苏家两名供奉，似乎并没有引起什么风波，一切风平浪静，苏家也没有找上门报仇的举动。 但莫问知道，他恐怕已经落入了苏家真正掌权者的眼中，毕竟两名供奉之死不是小事。
虽然无法确定两名供奉的死因是否跟莫问有直接关系，但只要不蠢，就能知道其中肯定有着什么联系，在没有弄清莫问虚实之前，一个大家族也不会轻易动手。
接下来两天，莫问都缩在寝室里不出门，努力炼制血元化气散，甚至饭都没有出门吃过一次。
第三日清晨，莫问才从寝室里走出，脸上挂着一抹淡淡的笑容，虽然面色有些疲累，但显然精神很好。
他走出食堂吃了点东西，就准备到班上走一趟。
路上，一道纤细的身影蓦然吸引住了他的眼睛，他瞳孔一缩，下意识的走了过去。
池塘前，木桥上，一名穿着鹅黄色裙子的少女静静地站立着，眸光平静，不起波澜。 她明明站在那里，却像是与世隔绝，根本不在尘世间的脱俗。
如此一个素丽无双的人儿，奇怪的是身边并没有人，一如她的气质一般清冷。 难道那些公子哥们都瞎了眼睛，瞧不见那倾世容颜。
“莫姑娘，我们又见面了。” 莫问在莫晴歌身边站定，想了想，却不知道说些什么，只能叫了一句姑娘。
莫晴歌似是早就知道他走过来一般，一如既往的平淡，并没有什么惊讶之色，只是眉峰微蹙，似是不喜有人打扰。 “莫问。”
不过她能记住他的名字，莫问还有些惊讶，洒然一笑，总比陌生人强了。
他挑了挑嘴唇，仔细观察起莫晴歌来。
他的目光并没有什么掩饰，很光明正大的注视着她，对于一个不熟的女孩子来说，如此目光多少有些无理。 但莫晴歌却是根本没有看见一般，任由他放肆打量，直接把他当成了一团空气。
莫问自然不是被莫晴歌的美色吸引，这张脸他曾今面对了无数次，熟悉程度甚至还在莫晴歌本人之上，虽然她的美丽依旧会给莫问时而惊艳的感觉，但自然不可能让他失态。
如此仔细的观察，不过是察言观色，判断病情罢了。
半响，莫问才收回目光，并微微松了口气。 莫晴歌的杀戮之体还算稳定，并没有频临爆发的征兆，估计两周之内不会出什么大问题，他也有充足的时间准备一番。
对于莫晴歌的事情，他自然始终放在心中，以他神医之名，研究杀戮之体十几年，自然不可能没有一点成就，对杀戮之体，他的确有几种抑制杀气的办法，可以一定程度削弱杀戮之体的爆发。
迄今为止，他所知的能有效抑制杀戮之体的办法只有三种。
其一为有着安神养心之效的东西，魔由心生，心灵不动，则任它杀气滔天，亦是不能影响本心。
不入魔，无杂念，杀气就拿莫晴歌没有办法。
不过能抑制杀戮之体的安神养心之物，自然不是简单的东西，必然是天地间的一些奇物，寻常的物件，不会有任何效果。
那一世以莫问的能力与名气，都才找到寥寥几种有着此功效之物，以现在的情况，叫他短时间内找出有着如此功效的东西，恐怕不太可能。
除此之外，其二便是一套奇特的针灸之术，针对莫冬儿的杀戮之体，他创造出了一套名为海纳百川的针灸之术，此术的效果在于疏通杀戮之气，就像万川入海，井井有条，能很大程度减缓杀气的爆发。
不过施展海纳百川之术，对自身内气有着很高的要求，若没有气海境界的修为，很难坚持下来。 即使完成了此术，效果也不会太理想。
海纳百川之术，修为越高，效果越强。
以他现在的修为，即使施展此术，效果恐怕也很微小。
其三便是药物抑制，通过特殊的药物成分，改变体内环境，由本体对杀气产生抑制。
毕竟杀戮之体源于体内，相依相生，一旦身体出现一些症状，杀戮之气亦会受到影响。
多年的研究，莫问却是研究出了一种药物可以针对杀戮之体，名叫明心丹，对削弱爆发时的杀气很有效果。
以现在的情况，自然是第三种药物抑制最具有可行性，对莫晴歌的帮助也越大。
可炼制此药物的药材有些复杂，虽然莫问特意留意了此事，但却没有聚齐所有药材。
那日前往同仁堂，除了买炼制血元化气散的药材，对能炼制明心丹的药材也购买了不少，不过大多都是便宜的药材，很多有用，但昂贵的药材，他却是买不起。
还有一些药材，他却是没有找到，那些药材的稀有程度，同仁堂里亦是没有。
他计划着，此次前往魔都，不仅要想办法赚取一些钱财，还必须寻找缺失药材。 以魔都号称世界级贸易中心，或许会有他想要的东西。
“把你的联系方式给我，我要随时能找到你。” 莫问略微沉吟，抬起头望向莫晴歌道。
“你找我干什么？” 莫晴歌罕见的淡笑了一下，眼前的家伙还真是直接。
“帮你度过难关，我不会让你死掉。” 莫问笑了笑，语气很自然，落在别人耳中有些找借口的话，却给人说不出的坦然。
“你还没有问我愿不愿意让你帮忙，你如何让别人相信你。” 莫晴歌勾了勾嘴唇，感觉眼前的家伙有些狂妄自大，他凭什么帮自己度过难关？
没有人比她清楚杀戮之体的可怕，虽然那个故事很感人，莫问讲的很投入，但故事是故事，现实是现实。 故事中，最后他还不是没有救下她妹妹。
“你愿不愿意，我都会帮你，我说过，会竭尽全力的让你活着。” 莫问把目光望向池塘里的莲花，不管她是否信任他，他都做不到袖旁观。
而且，你真是想帮别人吗？ 不是想借助我弥补你心中的遗憾。” 对于莫问的霸道，莫晴歌无奈的笑了笑，她虽然性子平淡，但也还没有敢对她如此霸道的人。

On the third morning, Mo Wen emerged from his room with a simple smile on his face. Although he looked quite tired, his spirit was obviously high.
After having some food at the canteen, he intended to go for his class.
On the way, a slender figure suddenly caught his eyes and his pupils constricted while walking towards it subconsciously.
A lady in light yellow dress was standing quietly on the bridge in front of the pond with eyes that were calm and tranquil. She was standing there but seemed not belonging to this world, having a refined disposition that was beyond this secular world.
It was weird that no one was near such a lady with incomparable beauty and her surrounding was as cold as her temperaments. Those bachelors could be blind not to see her exceptional beauty.
“Miss Mo, we meet again.” Mo Wen stood next to Mo Qingge, thought for a moment but was uncertain of what to say so he could only call her Miss.
Mo Qingge seemed to know that he was going to walk towards her as she looked as indifferent as usual without any expression of surprise. She simply furrowed her brows slightly seemingly disliking anyone’s disturbance, “Mo Wen.” Mo Qingge glanced at Mo Wen indifferently. A simple two words and no other words after that.
However, Mo Wen was still a little surprised that she could remember his name. Then, he smiled as it was at least better than being a stranger.
He raised his lips and observed Mo Qingge carefully.
He didn’t try to hid his gaze and had watched her openly. For a girl whom he was familiar with, such gaze seemed a little irrational. However, Mo Qingge was obviously oblivious of it and treating him like thin air which allowed him to scan her brazenly.
Mo Wen naturally was not attracted by Mo Qingge’s beauty as he had seen this face so many times before. Although her beauty was still stunning to Mo Wen, it was impossible to make him lose self-control.
With such careful observation, he was only trying to observe her expressions and complexion in order to diagnose her illness
After a long while, Mo Wen retracted his gaze and was slightly relieved. The Massacre’s Host of Mo Qingge was relatively stable as it didn’t have the symptoms of being on the verge of flaring, so it was estimated that it wouldn’t have any problem within two weeks. Hence, he also gained sufficient time for preparation.
Regarding Mo Qingge’s matter, he was naturally keeping it in mind. With his title of Miracle Physician and his research of the Massacre’s Host for more than ten years, it was naturally impossible to have no achievement at all. He definitely had a few methods of suppressing the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host and certainly able to weaken the flaring of the Massacre’s Host to a certain extent.
So far till now, he only knew three effective methods of suppressing the Massacre’s Host.
One of them was to have things that would ease the heart and calm the mind as the devil began with the heart. When the soul remained still, the will wouldn’t be affected regardless of its heinous Massacre spirit.
The Massacre spirit could do nothing to Mo Qingge if she was not demonised and had pure thoughts.
However, the thing that could ease the heart and calm the mind in order to suppress the Massacre’s Host was naturally not simple things. They had to be some unique things from this world as the ordinary things would not have any effect.
With Mo Wen’s ability and reputation in the past lifetime, he only managed to find a handful of items with such efficacy. With the present situation, it would be impossible for him to find items with such efficacy in such short period of time.
Besides this, the second method was the unique set of acupuncture techniques which was directed at countering the Massacre’s Host. He had created a set of acupuncture techniques called the Merging of rivers into oceans. The effect of these techniques was to conciliate the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host, like the rivers merging into the oceans orderly and neatly, so as to impede the flaring of the Massacre spirit to a great extent.
However, the utilization of the “Merging of Rivers Into Oceans” techniques had a high demand of Inner Qi from the person. It would difficult to perpetuate without the Cultivation of Sea of Qi realm and even after the complete performance of such techniques, the effect might not be satisfactory.
The higher the Cultivation, the stronger the effect of the techniques of Merging of rivers into oceans would be.
With his present Cultivation, even if he was to perform these techniques, the effect would be too small.
The third method would be medical suppression. The special ingredients of the medicine would change the internal condition of the body so that the body would suppress the Massacre spirit on its own.
After all, the source of the Massacre’s Host was in the body, growing and living together. When the body had some symptoms, the Massacre’s Host would be affected consequently.
In the many years of research, Mo Wen had researched a kind of medicine that could counter the Massacre’s Host named Pill of Purifying heart, which was effective in weakening the Massacre spirit of the Massacre’s Host during the flare.
Under the present situation, naturally the third method of medical suppression would be the most possible and would be of most help to Mo Qingge.
However, the medicinal herbs for this medicine was quite complex. Although Mo Wen was mindful of this matter, he had yet to collate all the medicinal herbs.
When he was at Tong Ren Tang the other day, other than buying the medicinal herbs for the concoction of the Blood, Vitality & Qi transmuting powder, he also bought quite a few medicinal herbs for the concoction of Pill of Purifying heart. Most of them were cheap and useful medicinal herbs as he couldn’t afford those expensive medicinal herbs.
There were some medicinal herbs that he could not find as Tong Ren Tang did not have them due to their rarity.
He planned that during this trip to Charm City, he must not only think of the ways to earn some money, but also look for these medicinal herbs that he lacked. As Charm City was known as the World Trade Center, perhaps he would be able to find the things he wanted.
“Give me your contact details, I need to be able to contact you anytime,” Mo Wen muttered lightly while lifting his head towards Mo Qingge.
“Why do you contact me?” Mo Qingge smiled lightly for once as this guy in front of her was too direct.
“I will help you to pull through this crisis and I will not let you die,” Mo Wen smiled and said in a normal tone. A statement that might seem like an excuse in the ears of others, yet it sounded so utterly calm.
“You have not asked if I am willing to accept your help. How can anyone believe you?” Mo Qingge curled her lips and felt that this guy in front of her was a little arrogant and conceited. What made he think that he could help her to pull through this crisis?
Nobody knew the horror of the Massacre’s Host better than her. Although the story was moving and Mo Wen was engrossed in telling it, a story was just a story and reality was still a reality. In the story, he didn’t manage to save his sister eventually.
“I will help you regardless of your willingness to accept it. I mentioned that I will try my best to keep you alive,” Mo Wen diverted his gaze towards the water lotus in the pond. Regardless of whether she trusted him, he couldn’t just watch without doing anything.
“You seem interesting and even force help upon others. However, are you really thinking of helping others? You are not trying to help me so as to make up for your own regrets,” Mo Qingge smiled helplessly at Mo Wen’s arrogance. Although she was quite even-tempered, no one had ever been so arrogant towards her.

"value": "Chapter 562 - Heaven Smiting Sword Comes Out\nThe Giant Flame Devil’s height was dozens of meters, its body and four limbs were made of flames, and its facial features could be spotted clearly. It was condensed and formed from the Crimson Black Devil Flame released by Duke Hui Ye. Its aura was so thick and terrifying, it was clear that it was several times stronger than that ball of devil flames. When the Flame Devil approached him, Yun Che had a temporary feeling of suffocation.\nYun Che had extensive knowledge and experience, but it was the first time he had ever seen this kind of move… it was as strange as the Sword Spirit Doppelganger of Heavenly Sword Villa!\nWhen both arms of the Flame Devil smashed down from the sky, the wind it swirled up sounded like ghosts crying and devils wailing.\n“Falling Moon Sinking Star!!”\nYun Che already had no time to consider; his profound energy exploded, and his fist struck towards the Giant Flame Devil.\nBOOM!\nIn the drumming sound of the explosion, an enormous profound vortex swept in the air. The Giant Flame Devil was struck and somersaulted backwards more than ten times; and Yun Che fell straight down like a cannonball, crashed severely on the ground, and bounced more than thirty meters away. When he finally landed, there was a dark red bloodstain on the corner of his mouth.\nThe horror of the Flame Devil was beyond Yun Che’s expectations. He wiped the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to stand up, the sound of ghosts crying came from above his head. The Flame Devil had already reappeared in the air above Yun Che with its widened eyes and pupils like will o’ the wisps, and was dropping downwards to him.\nAmong the Yun Family’s seats, a roar loud like thunder sounded as Yun Qinghong flew out and tried to grab Yun Che from the arena. But before he was able to enter the area of the arena, Duke Huai, who had prepared for this already, instantly blocked himself in front of Yun Qinghong. Their bodies bumped into each other, and then separated.\n“Yun Qinghong, you want to break the rules of the competition!?” Duke Huai spoke harshly while deep in his eyes, there was a trace of a sneer.\nIf it was merely a competition, then Yun Qinghong would definitely not do anything rash; however, Duke Huai and Hui Ye obviously fostered murderous intent towards Yun Che. Yun Che was injured on the ground from the Flame Devil’s heavy strike and at this moment, the Flame Devil went all-in onto him again; it was clear that it was trying to kill Yun Che! How could he not do anything about it? He understood clearly how terrifying that Flame Devil was… it was supported by the strength of the Obsidian Devil Sword, a devilish profound skill that was completely out of Hui Ye’s own abilities. Even though technically Hui Ye was basically cheating, the powerful weapon and armor was part of his own strength, and it happened to be one of the standards that was accepted by the profound world.\nJust as Yun Qinghong wanted to forcefully blow Duke Huai away, a resonant phoenix cry suddenly sounded over the arena as a bright, red flame soared into the sky.\n“Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing!!” A pair of slightly golden phoenix wings was opening up, and a lifelike silhouette of a phoenix appeared on Yun Che’s body. The silhouette of the phoenix rushed Yun Che up into the sky, instantly across the vacuum, and severely struck the Flame Devil's body.\nBoom!!!!!!!\nThe Phoenix Flame blasted with rage, and a ring of sunlight suddenly appeared in the sky above the hall, and it shined upon the whole hall with a bright, red light. In the sunlight that was seemed to have come from the firmament, Yun Che and the Flame Devil were fiercely pushed away from each other in the incredibly violent profound energy storm.\nThe Flame Devil flew back upside-down, and it rolled speedily like a rubber ball. The flame surrounding its body splashed all over the place, but they didn’t completely scatter from the strike. Duke Hui Ye swung the Obsidian Devil Sword in his hand, and the upside-down Flame Devil stopped itself abruptly. It quickly flew back, and floated in the sky above of Duke Hui Ye.\nBang!\nYun Che landed on the ground, his body continuously sled backwards until he abruptly steadied himself with his hands. The clothes on his chest were burst open completely, and there were more than ten scars with different depths added on his chest.\nDuke Huai’s eyebrows wrinkled greatly, and said coldly, “Yun Qinghong, you really did adopt a good son!”\nHe underestimated Yun Che again and again, and after he established a murderous intent towards Yun Che, he realized that he still underestimated him. He knew better than anyone how terrifying that Flame Devil was. He did not expect at all that Yun Che would actually be able to blow away the Flame Devil which was using its all-out attack in a head-on confrontation.\nIn his early twenties, with cultivation only at the Sky Profound Realm… yet his strength was terrifying to such an extent!\nFor such a young man like him, his future achievements were completely unimaginable. If he was their enemy, then they had to kill and eliminate him thoroughly before he could mature!\nBut now that he had blown away the Flame Devil, Yun Qinghong could let him surrender immediately… If that were to happen, then it would be impossible to kill Yun Che today!\nYun Qinghong’s movements stuttered. Watching the Flame Devil that was blown away, he couldn’t help but be impressed and say, “Good work!”\n“Che’er, surrender immediately! He can summon three Flame Devils like this at the same time! He used his Obsidian Devil Sword, so it’s not shameful for you to surrender at all… or else, his next attack would surely be an all-out attack to put you to death.”\n“...” Yun Qinghong’s sound transmission was sent towards Yun Che’s ears, but he didn’t respond. He slowly stood up, as if he didn’t hear it at all.\n“Hmph, not bad. This duke knew that there must be some final move that you haven’t used yet. I didn’t expect you to bounce off this duke’s Flame Devil. This really surprised me nicely.”\nEven though Duke Hui Ye was shocked in his heart, he didn’t panic at all. His face still had the expression of an adjudicator’s light smile, “Then, how about this?”\nThe Obsidian Devil Sword flickered in blood-colored light while Duke Hui Ye laughed deeply. The wave of flames surged in front of him. In the bursts of ghosts crying, he actually condensed and slowly formed two… two Flame Devils that looked exactly the same as the one from before!\nNot only was their appearances the same, even their auras were also just as thick and terrifying.\nCounting the one that was in the air, there was a total of three Flame Devils!!\n“Three… three Flame Devils!” Exclamations sounded all over the place.\n“If Yun Che is smart enough, he would surrender immediately. For things to get to this point, it is already enough for his name to be known by everyone. But, if at this moment, he still puts on a bold face to yell that so-called ‘fight until the last moment’... then he would just be courting death!”\nAll of the top, strong practitioners in Demon Imperial City could feel the murderous intent Duke Hui Ye had for Yun Che. If Yun Che wanted to live, then now was the only chance to surrender! Or else, as soon as the three Flame Devils moved, Yun Che would die for sure. Among the seats, there were also continuous yelling, telling Yun Che to surrender immediately.\nBut Yun Che pretended to not have heard anything. Facing the three Flame Devils, he slowly reached out his palm…\n“Hong’er, come out!”\nIn a deep hum, a sword suddenly fell and appeared out of nowhere in front of Yun Che. With a loud “boom”, it fiercely stabbed into the black profound jade floor under his feet. In that instant, there were concentrated shattering sounds and countless cracks that crazily spreaded out from under Yun Che’s feet.\nDeafening exclaims came from every direction. What shocked them, was not how large the sword was, but that it… simply dropped from the sky, and was able to stab into the black profound jade floor that was a thousand times tougher than firm stone!\n\"What… what an enormous sword!!”\n“This sword… actually broke through the floor! This is the Demon Imperial Hall! How heavy is that sword?”\n“This was the first time I have ever seen such an enormous sword. It actually directly stabbed into and cracked the Demon Imperial Hall’s floor… but, there didn’t seem to be any aura of a high level profound weapon from the sword. Out of all the profound weapons, there also didn’t seem to be a huge sword like this.”\n“That’s Big Brother’s weapon? That’s… that’s too big.” Xiao Yun yelled in shock. He looked down at the tip of the sword that had sunk into the ground, and his eyes stared blankly.\n“Tch, finally willing to show your weapon.” Duke Hui Ye said smilingly. He couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart about the crack under the tip of the sword, but the smile on his face became even more bantering, “Heh, no wonder you kept refusing to use your weapon before. This sword, you probably aren’t able to control it completely, right?!”\nYun Che didn’t speak. Both of his hands were holding on the handle of the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword. Under an incredibly sharp, shrieking sound, he pulled out the sword slowly from the ground, and placed it horizontally in front of his body… At that instant, the noisy hall quieted down a lot. Everyone’s gaze focused onto Yun Che. Even some of the strong practitioners that were standing at the peak of Demon Illusory were stunned for a short period of time by the fierce change in Yun Che’s expression.\nThe aura on Yun Che’s body didn’t change, and there also wasn’t any aura on the vermilion greatsword, as though it was a dead sword. But when Yun Che held the vermilion greatsword in his hand, everyone clearly felt that Yun Che had changed completely: his aura, momentum, even his expression… had completely changed.\nThe vermilion greatsword was as long as nine feet, and the blade on the ground was two feet thick. Such a huge sword like this was even larger than Yun Che’s body. Even if a nine foot giant held the sword in its hand, there would be a strong uncoordinated feeling. However, when it was in Yun Che’s, the overall feeling was so in accordance that it didn’t make people feel any bit of disharmony; instead, it felt like the sword belonged in his hands. It was a perfect fit that couldn’t be described with words, as though this sword was made for Yun Che from the beginning, while Yun Che himself also existed because of this sword.\nThe profound energy aura didn’t change at all, but facing the Yun Che who was holding the heavy sword, everyone felt a pressure which seeped directly into their soul. Especially Duke Hui Ye, who was facing directly against Yun Che; the smile on his face had already became stiff. It was as if an iron board that weighed over a hundred and fifty thousand kilograms pressed on his chest, and almost suffocated him.\nStanding on the edge of the arena, Yun Qinghong and Duke Huai stared straight at Yun Che. One had forgotten to send a sound transmission to tell Hui Ye to immediately kill off Yun Che, the other had forgotten to scold Yun Che to immediately surrender. These two peerless individuals within their own generation, now only had shock in their eyes.\nAn indescribable pressure caused Duke Hui Ye to feel extremely uneasy in his heart, but seeing the three Flame Devils in front of him, his uneasiness quickly went away, as he roared deeply, “You think taking out a ridiculous weapon could help you a comeback?! Go… to… hell!!”\nDuke Hui Ye suddenly blasted out his sword. A large sea of flames tumbled like crimson-black smoke that covered the sky, and swept towards Yun Che. The three Flame Devils also moved at the same time, following the devil flames, bringing a frightening aura that even caused space to tremble as they both rushed towards Yun Che.\nFacing the overwhelming devil flames and the three scary Flame Devils that struck at the same time, Yun Che didn’t step back at all. Instead, he held up his Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword without a hurry.\nThe reason he didn’t use the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword before was not because he was arrogant. It was just as Duke Hui Ye had guessed, to avoid too much exhaustion. When he first got this Heaven Smiting Sword, it already weighed a hundred thousand kilograms. After consuming Dragon Fault, its weight increased even more. In a span of three months, even though he managed to get used to its weight and he could control it perfectly, every time he swung it, an enormous amount of exhaustion would soon follow.\nThe next opponents in this fierce battle would only be stronger than the next, so he had to do his best to avoid exhausting himself.\nHis current opponent was Hui Ye, but just based on the thickness of their profound energy, he was completely suppressed by Hui Ye if he did not open the “Purgatory” gate. However, opening “Purgatory” would exhaust his strength even more, which was why it was now time for the Heaven Smiting Sword to come out."

第562章
火焰巨魔身高数丈，有着火焰躯体和四肢，甚至可以清楚的看到五官，它是由辉夜郡王所释放出的赤黑魔炎所凝化而成，但其气息之浓烈，之可怕，分明要胜过那团魔炎数倍，在炎魔扑上来时，云澈有了短暂的窒息感。
云澈的见闻很是广博，但这种招式，他还是第一次见到……简直和天剑山庄的剑灵分身一样诡异！
炎魔的双臂当空砸下，带起的风声如鬼哭魔嚎。
“陨月沉星！
云澈已来不及考虑，玄力爆发，一拳轰向火焰巨魔。
轰！
轰鸣声中，空中荡起巨大的玄力涡流，火焰巨魔被轰击的后翻了十几个跟头，而云澈则如炮弹一般飞坠而下，狠狠的砸在地面上，然后被弹飞到数十丈之外，落下之时，嘴角已多了一抹殷红的血迹。
炎魔之可怕，大大的超出了云澈的预料，他一抹嘴角，刚要站起，头顶忽然传来鬼哭之音，炎魔竟已重新出现在了他的上空，瞪大着鬼火般的瞳孔，向他坠落而下。
云家坐席中，一声大吼惊雷般的响起，云轻鸿飞身而出，一把抓向赛场中的云澈。 但他还未能进入到赛场范围，早已有所准备的淮王一个瞬身挡在了云轻鸿的身前，两人身体一撞，各自分开。
“云轻鸿，你想破坏比赛规则吗！” 淮王厉声中，眼眸深处是一丝冷笑。
他岂能不出手。 那炎魔之可怕，他可是清清楚楚……那可是由黑曜魔剑的力量支撑，完全超出辉夜本身力量的恶魔玄技，虽然严格说来这根本就是辉夜在作弊，但强大的武器和护甲也是自身力量的一部分，这偏偏又是玄界公认的准则之一。 “给我滚开！”
就在云轻鸿想要强行轰开淮王之时，赛场之上忽然响起一声嘹亮之极的凤鸣，一道赤红火焰冲天而起。
！” 微带金色的凤凰双翼在张开，云澈的身上，出现了一道犹若实质的凤凰之影，凤凰之影带动着云澈冲天而起，一瞬间跨越空间，狠狠的撞击在炎魔的身上。
轰！ ！
凤凰火焰汹涌炸开，大殿的上空如同忽然出现了一轮日曜，将整个大殿映照的赤红一片。 在这仿佛来自苍穹的日曜之中，云澈与炎魔在狂暴无比的玄力风暴中被狠狠的冲开。
倒飞中的炎魔如皮球一般快速翻滚着，周身火焰四溅，但却没有被完全轰散，辉夜郡王手中黑曜魔剑一挥，倒飞中的炎魔便硬生生的止住，然后快速飞回，漂浮在了辉夜郡王的上空。
砰！
云澈落地，身体向后连续滑动了很久才手撑地面硬生生的稳住，胸前的衣服完全炸裂，胸口之上也多了十几道深浅不同的伤痕。
淮王的眉头大皱，冷冷的道：“云轻鸿，你真是收了个好儿子啊！”
他一次次的低估云澈，在他对云澈生出杀心之后，他发现，自己竟然还是低估了他。 那个炎魔之可怕，他比任何人都要清楚，他全然没有想到，云澈竟然将释放全力的炎魔给正面轰开。
二十岁出头的年纪，分明只有天玄境的修为……实力，却是恐怖到了如此程度！
这样的一个年轻人，他将来的成就将根本无法想象。 若是敌人，务必要将他在未成长起来前彻底扼杀！
而如今他轰开了炎魔，云轻鸿便可让他马上认输……如此一来，今天想要灭杀云澈已是不可能了！
云轻鸿的动作停滞，看着被轰飞的炎魔，他一声不自禁的赞叹：“干的好！”
这样的炎魔，他可以同时召唤三只！ 他动用了黑曜魔剑，你认输半点都不丢人……否则，他下一次攻击，将势必会全力置你于死地。”
“……”耳边传来云轻鸿的传音，云澈却并没有回应，只是缓缓的站起身来，仿佛完全没有听到。
“哼，做的不错嘛，本王就知道你一定还有什么绝招没出，没想到竟然能将本王的炎魔给震开，真是让本王又惊喜了一番。”
辉夜郡王虽然心中震惊，但并不慌乱，脸上依然是审判者般的淡笑：“那么，这样呢？”
辉夜郡王的低笑声中，黑曜魔剑血光闪烁，他的前方火浪涌动，在阵阵的鬼哭声中，竟缓缓的凝化出两个……和之前一模一样的炎魔！
不仅是外表相同，就连气息，也同样的浓烈与恐怖。
连同上空的那一个，一共是三个炎魔！ ！
“三……三个炎魔！”
惊呼声大片的响起。 “云澈要是足够聪明，就马上认输，到了这种地步，他已是足以扬名天下了。 如果这个时候还敢硬着骨头喊所谓的‘战到最后一刻’……那就是自己找死！”
妖皇城中的那些顶尖强者们都能感觉的出辉夜郡王对云澈的杀机，云澈想要活命，现在投降是唯一的机会！
否则三个炎魔一动，云澈必死无疑，坐席之中，也不断响起要云澈马上认输的呼喊声。
“红儿，出来！”
低吟声中，一把在云澈身前凭空出现，然后猛然坠落，在“轰”的一声巨响中，狠狠的插入了脚下的黑玄玉地板之中，顿时，密密麻麻的碎裂声响起，数不清的裂痕从云澈的脚下向周围疯狂蔓延而去。
震耳的惊呼声从四面八方传来，让他们震惊的，不是这把剑之巨大的，而是它……竟然单依空中下坠，刺入了下方比磐石还要坚韧千百倍的黑玄玉地板之中！
“好……好大的剑！
“这把剑……竟然刺裂了地面！ 这里可是妖皇大殿啊！ 那把剑，得是多重？”
“我还是第一次见这么大的剑，它竟然直接把妖皇大殿的地面都刺裂……可是，剑身上好像一点高级玄器的气息都没有。 那些出名的玄器之中，好像也没有这样的一把巨剑。”
也太……太大了吧。” 萧云惊呼着道，看着下方直直陷入地面的剑尖，他的眼睛一阵发直。
“啧，终于肯亮出武器了。” 辉夜郡王笑眯眯的道，剑尖之下的裂痕，让他无法不心中震惊，但脸上的笑容却是更加戏虐：“嘿，难怪你之前死活不肯用武器，这把剑，你根本不可能完全驾驭的了吧！”
云澈没有说话，双手握在了劫天诛魔剑的剑柄上，在刺耳无比的声音之中，将它缓缓从地面中拔出，横在了身前……在那一刹那，本是喧闹的大殿一下子安静了许多，每个人的视线都集中到了云澈的身上，眼神发生了剧烈的变化，就连一些站在幻妖之巅的强者都出现了短暂的呆滞。
云澈身上的气息没有变化，那把大到异常的朱红巨剑更是毫无气息，犹若死剑，但，当云澈将朱红巨剑拿在手中之时，所有人却清晰无比的感觉到，云澈整个人都变了，气场、气势、甚至眼神……完完全全的变了。
朱红巨剑长至九尺，剑刃最宽的地上也是宽至二尺，如此巨剑，比云澈的身躯还要大的多，即使是一个九尺巨人拿在手中，都会有着浓重的不协调感。 但在云澈的手中，整体却是和谐的让人感觉不到一丝不协调，反而觉得这把剑本就应该是在他的手中，那是一种无法用语言形容的完美契合感，仿佛这把剑本就是为云澈而生，云澈，也本就该是因这把剑而存在。
他的玄力气息没有一丝一毫的变化，但面对手持重剑的云澈，每一个人都感觉到了一种直渗灵魂的压迫感，尤其是被云澈直接面对的辉夜郡王，他脸上的笑已经僵硬，胸口犹如压着一块万钧铁板，让他竟是几乎喘不动气。
站在赛场边缘的云轻鸿和淮王目光直直的看着云澈，一个忘记了传音要辉夜马上出手绝杀云澈，一个忘记了呵斥云澈马上认输，这两个人同辈之中无出其右的绝世人物，此时的眼眸里唯有震惊。
莫名的压迫力让辉夜郡王心中生出强烈的不安感，但看着身前的三只炎魔，他的不安快速消散，一声低吼：“你以为拿出一把不知所谓的武器，就能逆转乾坤了吗！
辉夜郡王猛然一剑轰出，大片火焰如同滚动着赤黑烟雾遮天而起，席卷向云澈，三只炎魔也同时动了，跟在魔炎之后，带着让空间都战栗的可怕气息，一起扑向云澈。
面对铺天盖地的魔炎和三只同时袭来的可怕炎魔，云澈却是没有后退一步，双手不紧不慢的抓起了劫天诛魔剑。
刚得到这把劫天剑时，它便有二十万斤重，后来又吞噬了龙阙，重量更是进一步提升。 三个月的时间，他虽然勉强适应了它的重量，也能做到足够完美的驾驭，但每将它挥舞一次，都会伴随着相当巨大的消耗。
这场恶战，后面的对手会越来越强，他必须要尽可能的避免消耗。
的他完全被辉夜压制，而开启“炼狱”，消耗更是巨大，所以，劫天剑也到了该出场的时候。

Chapter 562 - Heaven Smiting Sword Comes Out
The Giant Flame Devil’s height was dozens of meters, its body and four limbs were made of flames, and its facial features could be spotted clearly. It was condensed and formed from the Crimson Black Devil Flame released by Duke Hui Ye. Its aura was so thick and terrifying, it was clear that it was several times stronger than that ball of devil flames. When the Flame Devil approached him, Yun Che had a temporary feeling of suffocation.
Yun Che had extensive knowledge and experience, but it was the first time he had ever seen this kind of move… it was as strange as the Sword Spirit Doppelganger of Heavenly Sword Villa!
When both arms of the Flame Devil smashed down from the sky, the wind it swirled up sounded like ghosts crying and devils wailing.
“Falling Moon Sinking Star!!”
Yun Che already had no time to consider; his profound energy exploded, and his fist struck towards the Giant Flame Devil.
BOOM!
In the drumming sound of the explosion, an enormous profound vortex swept in the air. The Giant Flame Devil was struck and somersaulted backwards more than ten times; and Yun Che fell straight down like a cannonball, crashed severely on the ground, and bounced more than thirty meters away. When he finally landed, there was a dark red bloodstain on the corner of his mouth.
The horror of the Flame Devil was beyond Yun Che’s expectations. He wiped the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to stand up, the sound of ghosts crying came from above his head. The Flame Devil had already reappeared in the air above Yun Che with its widened eyes and pupils like will o’ the wisps, and was dropping downwards to him.
Among the Yun Family’s seats, a roar loud like thunder sounded as Yun Qinghong flew out and tried to grab Yun Che from the arena. But before he was able to enter the area of the arena, Duke Huai, who had prepared for this already, instantly blocked himself in front of Yun Qinghong. Their bodies bumped into each other, and then separated.
“Yun Qinghong, you want to break the rules of the competition!?” Duke Huai spoke harshly while deep in his eyes, there was a trace of a sneer.
If it was merely a competition, then Yun Qinghong would definitely not do anything rash; however, Duke Huai and Hui Ye obviously fostered murderous intent towards Yun Che. Yun Che was injured on the ground from the Flame Devil’s heavy strike and at this moment, the Flame Devil went all-in onto him again; it was clear that it was trying to kill Yun Che! How could he not do anything about it? He understood clearly how terrifying that Flame Devil was… it was supported by the strength of the Obsidian Devil Sword, a devilish profound skill that was completely out of Hui Ye’s own abilities. Even though technically Hui Ye was basically cheating, the powerful weapon and armor was part of his own strength, and it happened to be one of the standards that was accepted by the profound world.
Just as Yun Qinghong wanted to forcefully blow Duke Huai away, a resonant phoenix cry suddenly sounded over the arena as a bright, red flame soared into the sky.
“Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing!!” A pair of slightly golden phoenix wings was opening up, and a lifelike silhouette of a phoenix appeared on Yun Che’s body. The silhouette of the phoenix rushed Yun Che up into the sky, instantly across the vacuum, and severely struck the Flame Devil's body.
Boom!!!!!!!
The Phoenix Flame blasted with rage, and a ring of sunlight suddenly appeared in the sky above the hall, and it shined upon the whole hall with a bright, red light. In the sunlight that was seemed to have come from the firmament, Yun Che and the Flame Devil were fiercely pushed away from each other in the incredibly violent profound energy storm.
The Flame Devil flew back upside-down, and it rolled speedily like a rubber ball. The flame surrounding its body splashed all over the place, but they didn’t completely scatter from the strike. Duke Hui Ye swung the Obsidian Devil Sword in his hand, and the upside-down Flame Devil stopped itself abruptly. It quickly flew back, and floated in the sky above of Duke Hui Ye.
Bang!
Yun Che landed on the ground, his body continuously sled backwards until he abruptly steadied himself with his hands. The clothes on his chest were burst open completely, and there were more than ten scars with different depths added on his chest.
Duke Huai’s eyebrows wrinkled greatly, and said coldly, “Yun Qinghong, you really did adopt a good son!”
He underestimated Yun Che again and again, and after he established a murderous intent towards Yun Che, he realized that he still underestimated him. He knew better than anyone how terrifying that Flame Devil was. He did not expect at all that Yun Che would actually be able to blow away the Flame Devil which was using its all-out attack in a head-on confrontation.
In his early twenties, with cultivation only at the Sky Profound Realm… yet his strength was terrifying to such an extent!
For such a young man like him, his future achievements were completely unimaginable. If he was their enemy, then they had to kill and eliminate him thoroughly before he could mature!
But now that he had blown away the Flame Devil, Yun Qinghong could let him surrender immediately… If that were to happen, then it would be impossible to kill Yun Che today!
Yun Qinghong’s movements stuttered. Watching the Flame Devil that was blown away, he couldn’t help but be impressed and say, “Good work!”
“Che’er, surrender immediately! He can summon three Flame Devils like this at the same time! He used his Obsidian Devil Sword, so it’s not shameful for you to surrender at all… or else, his next attack would surely be an all-out attack to put you to death.”
“...” Yun Qinghong’s sound transmission was sent towards Yun Che’s ears, but he didn’t respond. He slowly stood up, as if he didn’t hear it at all.
“Hmph, not bad. This duke knew that there must be some final move that you haven’t used yet. I didn’t expect you to bounce off this duke’s Flame Devil. This really surprised me nicely.”
Even though Duke Hui Ye was shocked in his heart, he didn’t panic at all. His face still had the expression of an adjudicator’s light smile, “Then, how about this?”
The Obsidian Devil Sword flickered in blood-colored light while Duke Hui Ye laughed deeply. The wave of flames surged in front of him. In the bursts of ghosts crying, he actually condensed and slowly formed two… two Flame Devils that looked exactly the same as the one from before!
Not only was their appearances the same, even their auras were also just as thick and terrifying.
Counting the one that was in the air, there was a total of three Flame Devils!!
“Three… three Flame Devils!” Exclamations sounded all over the place.
“If Yun Che is smart enough, he would surrender immediately. For things to get to this point, it is already enough for his name to be known by everyone. But, if at this moment, he still puts on a bold face to yell that so-called ‘fight until the last moment’... then he would just be courting death!”
All of the top, strong practitioners in Demon Imperial City could feel the murderous intent Duke Hui Ye had for Yun Che. If Yun Che wanted to live, then now was the only chance to surrender! Or else, as soon as the three Flame Devils moved, Yun Che would die for sure. Among the seats, there were also continuous yelling, telling Yun Che to surrender immediately.
But Yun Che pretended to not have heard anything. Facing the three Flame Devils, he slowly reached out his palm…
“Hong’er, come out!”
In a deep hum, a sword suddenly fell and appeared out of nowhere in front of Yun Che. With a loud “boom”, it fiercely stabbed into the black profound jade floor under his feet. In that instant, there were concentrated shattering sounds and countless cracks that crazily spreaded out from under Yun Che’s feet.
Deafening exclaims came from every direction. What shocked them, was not how large the sword was, but that it… simply dropped from the sky, and was able to stab into the black profound jade floor that was a thousand times tougher than firm stone!
"What… what an enormous sword!!”
“This sword… actually broke through the floor! This is the Demon Imperial Hall! How heavy is that sword?”
“This was the first time I have ever seen such an enormous sword. It actually directly stabbed into and cracked the Demon Imperial Hall’s floor… but, there didn’t seem to be any aura of a high level profound weapon from the sword. Out of all the profound weapons, there also didn’t seem to be a huge sword like this.”
“That’s Big Brother’s weapon? That’s… that’s too big.” Xiao Yun yelled in shock. He looked down at the tip of the sword that had sunk into the ground, and his eyes stared blankly.
“Tch, finally willing to show your weapon.” Duke Hui Ye said smilingly. He couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart about the crack under the tip of the sword, but the smile on his face became even more bantering, “Heh, no wonder you kept refusing to use your weapon before. This sword, you probably aren’t able to control it completely, right?!”
Yun Che didn’t speak. Both of his hands were holding on the handle of the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword. Under an incredibly sharp, shrieking sound, he pulled out the sword slowly from the ground, and placed it horizontally in front of his body… At that instant, the noisy hall quieted down a lot. Everyone’s gaze focused onto Yun Che. Even some of the strong practitioners that were standing at the peak of Demon Illusory were stunned for a short period of time by the fierce change in Yun Che’s expression.
The aura on Yun Che’s body didn’t change, and there also wasn’t any aura on the vermilion greatsword, as though it was a dead sword. But when Yun Che held the vermilion greatsword in his hand, everyone clearly felt that Yun Che had changed completely: his aura, momentum, even his expression… had completely changed.
The vermilion greatsword was as long as nine feet, and the blade on the ground was two feet thick. Such a huge sword like this was even larger than Yun Che’s body. Even if a nine foot giant held the sword in its hand, there would be a strong uncoordinated feeling. However, when it was in Yun Che’s, the overall feeling was so in accordance that it didn’t make people feel any bit of disharmony; instead, it felt like the sword belonged in his hands. It was a perfect fit that couldn’t be described with words, as though this sword was made for Yun Che from the beginning, while Yun Che himself also existed because of this sword.
The profound energy aura didn’t change at all, but facing the Yun Che who was holding the heavy sword, everyone felt a pressure which seeped directly into their soul. Especially Duke Hui Ye, who was facing directly against Yun Che; the smile on his face had already became stiff. It was as if an iron board that weighed over a hundred and fifty thousand kilograms pressed on his chest, and almost suffocated him.
Standing on the edge of the arena, Yun Qinghong and Duke Huai stared straight at Yun Che. One had forgotten to send a sound transmission to tell Hui Ye to immediately kill off Yun Che, the other had forgotten to scold Yun Che to immediately surrender. These two peerless individuals within their own generation, now only had shock in their eyes.
An indescribable pressure caused Duke Hui Ye to feel extremely uneasy in his heart, but seeing the three Flame Devils in front of him, his uneasiness quickly went away, as he roared deeply, “You think taking out a ridiculous weapon could help you a comeback?! Go… to… hell!!”
Duke Hui Ye suddenly blasted out his sword. A large sea of flames tumbled like crimson-black smoke that covered the sky, and swept towards Yun Che. The three Flame Devils also moved at the same time, following the devil flames, bringing a frightening aura that even caused space to tremble as they both rushed towards Yun Che.
Facing the overwhelming devil flames and the three scary Flame Devils that struck at the same time, Yun Che didn’t step back at all. Instead, he held up his Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword without a hurry.
The reason he didn’t use the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword before was not because he was arrogant. It was just as Duke Hui Ye had guessed, to avoid too much exhaustion. When he first got this Heaven Smiting Sword, it already weighed a hundred thousand kilograms. After consuming Dragon Fault, its weight increased even more. In a span of three months, even though he managed to get used to its weight and he could control it perfectly, every time he swung it, an enormous amount of exhaustion would soon follow.
The next opponents in this fierce battle would only be stronger than the next, so he had to do his best to avoid exhausting himself.
His current opponent was Hui Ye, but just based on the thickness of their profound energy, he was completely suppressed by Hui Ye if he did not open the “Purgatory” gate. However, opening “Purgatory” would exhaust his strength even more, which was why it was now time for the Heaven Smiting Sword to come out.

"value": "Chapter 317: Rody's Happy Life Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation\nThe grand wedding of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family, had become the topic of enthusiastic discussion for the common people as well as the aristocrats in the Imperial Capital for a very long time. In addition, several newspapers in the Imperial Capital also published extensive propaganda on this.\nOf course, in the eyes of some resolute people, they also saw that little bit of subtle differences...\nAs everyone knew, regardless whether it was the Roland Continent in the north or the Radiant Empire, people believed in religion. The religious bodies of the two continents were doctrinally different and mutually regarded the other party as blasphemers. However, at least in the Radiant Empire, the Church was still the state religion and had supreme status. Religious rights were even on par with imperial power. Right from the Emperor to aristocrat ministers of the Empire, they were all believers of God.\nHowever, in that grand wedding, whether it was the great Duke of the Tulip Family or the mysterious Marquis Rody, no one invited the clergymen to be witnesses of the marriage!\nFor all followers of the religion, their marriages must be conducted in the church and presided by the clergy. Only then could it be considered as an official ceremony. However, that wedding that affected the political landscape of the Empire actually did not have any participation of the clergy. In fact, they were even not invited to the ceremony!\nEven His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family did not seem to believe in God...The significance of such matter was somewhat thought-provoking.\nAfter the wedding, the situation in the Empire was very peaceful. News about the northern Roland Continent came in secretly. Of course, all those news were deliberately blocked under the command of the higher authority of the Empire.\nThe war in the Roland Continent had started and the Sauron Kingdom became the leader of the alliance of more than a dozen kingdoms of the Roland Continent. They had gathered millions of troops and, together with the Temple's Holy Knights, have had thirteen large and small skirmishes.\nUnder the command of General Tiger of the Sauron Kingdom, all of the thirteen military campaigns ended with the defeat of the alliance of kingdoms of the Roland Continent. However, under the command of Tiger, although their huge army suffered certain losses, their strength was not affected. Tiger actually divided the troops of millions into several groups to fight respectively! Such deployment was indeed a very clever move.\nFrom the combat effectiveness of the troops, regardless of whether it was the Royal Knights of the Sauron Kingdom or the armies of any other kingdoms, they were far from comparable with the elite Holy Knights of the Temple. However, in terms of numbers, there was no doubt that the Temple was at an absolute disadvantage. Tiger had divided the huge army into several groups, but purposely only harassed the enemy and did not give them any chance to make a decisive battle stand. Obviously, he had prepared himself for fighting a war of attrition. At the same time, due to the disadvantage of numbers, the Holy Knights of the Temple were unable to divide their troops...If they were to do so, they would only make their troops, which number only few hundred thousand, weaker and ultimately difficult to avoid the danger of attacks on the reduced numbers.\nThe Roland Continent was caught in a stalemate. Although there were occasional reports of the war, both sides also did not achieve a decisive victory.\nIn such a moment, the attitude of the Church of the Radiant Empire was somewhat ambiguous.\nAlthough there were disagreements with the doctrines of the northern Temple, seeing the conflict in the northern Roland Continent between the Temple and the kingdoms, there was a possibility that the Temple would be destroyed. The Church of the Radiant Empire inevitably would have some sympathy.\nDue to the fact that the two continents had always been hostile to each other, it was impossible for the Church to intervene in the affairs of the northern continent. However, at that moment, the status of the Church was inevitably a little awkward. Under the leadership of Pope Corsica VI, the churches in all the cities of the Radiant Empire were significantly busier than in the past.\nMany activities for winning the hearts of the populace had started, such as distributing holy water and disseminating doctrine. Some bishops even personally went out to all parts of the country to preach and to win over the people.\nHowever, at this point in time, the situation in the Imperial Capital was unsettling.\nAll officials of the Empire had remained silent! Historically, every large-scale activity of the Church would be officially coordinated by the imperial government. After all, in the Empire, the Church and the imperial government had always mutually supported each other. However, based on the situation now, it seemed that under the instruction of the Emperor, the officialdom of the Empire stood completely on the sidelines as a spectator and indifferently watched the people from the churches busy running back and forth.\nThinking of the last court event; thinking of the wedding of the Empire's most important figure in the Tulip Family; that people from the Church were not invited; and that His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family was actually not a believer of God...With all those added up, the people could not help wondering.\n\"Let them jump! The higher they jump, the heavier they fall!\" Andy sighed. He just casually put aside those reports on the activities of the Church in various places that were sent to him and then picked up a battlefield report from the northwest.\nGeneral Elliot of the Northwestern Army personally wrote a report on the battlefield. Five days ago, at the Watts Fortress in the Northwest, the Northwestern Army led by General Elliot, once again, thwarted the army of the Great Moon Kingdom led by Reuenthal. That time, the military objective was very successful. General Elliot killed a total of twenty-five thousand grassland cavalry. As in the past, he did not spare any prisoners...All were executed!\nElliot's iron-fist approach was undoubtedly the most suitable way to deal with those wolves in the grassland. Reuenthal had repeatedly invaded for such a long /time but had always been foiled by Elliot. It was said that the Dragon Plateau had already started to find their losses gradually intolerable!\nThe Northwest Army had also suffered huge losses, but the original Northwest Army had been re-established earlier and reorganized and expanded repeatedly. The Empire was almost an endless source of soldiers compared to the grassland where the population was too sparse.\nAndy smiled after reading the battlefield report. He immediately drafted an order and gave it to a chamberlain to send it down.\n\"The Empire is not without talent. However, under the jurisdiction of the original muddleheaded Abbas XI, it would be a wonder if the nation was not subjugated.\" Andy smiled and stretched himself lazily. \"Very true...It is really tiring to be an Emperor. This old man here really cherish those days when I was sleeping all day.\"\nAndy waved his hand to send all the chamberlains in the room away. Only Fatty Sky stayed behind.\n\"Old Skeleton, the damn old Pope has asked to see you three times. You have always refused to see him. Are you not afraid of offending them?\"\nAndy laughed. \"It is because he saw the fate of the Temple in the Roland Continent. He is inevitably somewhat distressed because he is concerned that the same misfortune may befall the Church and wants to repair our relationship. Hmm, the Radiant Empire is not like those kingdoms of the Roland Continent where all the kingdoms are not cooperative. Here, we have a strong and unified empire! Let him wait. It is not the time to sort them out yet.\"\nAfter pausing for a while, Andy's smile gradually turned treacherous. \"I have ordered all newspapers not to report any activities of the Church! They wish to win over the people, very good, ah. Just let them struggle slowly with it. I will not allow them to get the people's attention! I have already ordered all the newspapers in the Empire to give full coverage of Rody's recent wedding. After the news of the wedding has quieted down, give full coverage of the war in the northwest! Coincidentally, Elliot has won the war again! Hmm, the Church! They have gone to such great lengths and put in so much effort, but they could not catch the public's attention! It is like throwing a stone into the water. I purposely made sure that there would not be any splash at all!\"\nFatty lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said, \"Right now, you have been staying out of this matter. Are you waiting for an opportunity?\"\nAndy nodded. \"Yes, I have waited for so long. I think those vampires should also have noticed something, right? I have made it clear when I drew the boundary with the Church. Those vampires must be very happy now. They will seize the opportunity to attack the Church. Let them fight it out. Anyway, I live in the palace now and will pretend that I did not see anything.\"\nAndy shook his head. \"This is nothing. Some days later, there will be even better shows to see! By the way, how is Princess Ruolan these days? I am afraid she has gone crazy, getting stuck in captivity.\"\n...\nIn the fief of the Tulip Family of the Empire, at the outskirts of West Hill of the capital city of Westwood Province was the Tulip Family hunting ground.\n\"Rody, hurry up! There!\" Diane stood on a branch of a tree, carrying a bow and excitedly pointing at the distance.\nHearing the shouts of people, a wild fox vigilantly pricked its ears, whizzed into the underbrush and channeled into it.\nSwish!\nAs an air-splitting sound broke out, a sharp arrow bored right into the body of the fleeing wild fox. The beast rolled on the spot twice, then it immediately collapsed and started to twitch.\nAfter a long howl, a gray shadow channeled through like lightning. A huge three-eyed gray wolf had channeled over and bit that wild fox in the mouth. Straightaway, it bit off a piece.\n\"How dare you!\" Diane jumped down from the tree. She pulled out a whistle and fiercely blew it. That three-eyed wolf immediately trembled, shrunk into a mass and buried its head in the ground whimpering. Diane mercilessly flayed it twice with her whip before stopping.\n\"Enough, Diane, enough.\" Rody was riding on a black warhorse. He had already put down the bow in his hand as he slowly approached from behind.\nHe wore a simple warrior outfit. His blue hair was ingeniously pleated into a whip and draped at the back of his head. It was not known whether that was the handiwork of Nicole or Myka.\n\"Not enough! This guy is always not obedient. I must teach it a good lesson.\" Diane kicked again before she stopped.\nRody sat on his horse not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. He also did understand how a woman thought. That monster was a captured beast—he had not expected Diane to actually treat it as a pet.\nRody whistled and a night owl flew down from the branch of a tree. The owl was also originally one of the beasts they had snatched from the vampires.\nRody tidied up the prey hanging on the horse. Together with Diane, they went towards the lake in the middle of the hunting ground.\nAt the lakeside, a simple camp had already been set up. A few fine horses were quietly feeding on grass at the side. Myka and Nicole had already laid out the barbecue grill.\nMouse was sitting by the lakeside alone with her eyes closed, meditating and practicing magic power. In the previous few days, her strength had gradually restored. Although the progress was a little slow, she meditated and practiced magic every day. One fine day, she would be able to restore her powers to the level of the original Black Veil Saint.\nThey heard a 'plop' sound and a person jumped out of the lake. It was the bodyguard, Randt. His whole body was soaked and he had two big fish in his hands.\nHe strode onto the shore. He gathered his fighting energy and, in a moment, his wet clothes were completely dry. Myka had already taken over the fish and proceeded to prepare them.\nWhen Rody looked at that scene, he couldn’t help but wonder, \"Isn't this lake without fishes?\"\nNicole looked up and smiled. \"Originally, there were none. But after we left last time, I got some people to channel a lot of fry from the surrounding lakes and rivers. After all these days, the lake is now full of fishes and shrimps.\"\nRody gave a wry smile. \"If you want to eat fish, just bring some directly from outside. Why do you need to go through so much trouble?\"\nNicole smiled and stood up. She pulled Rody over and whispered, \"It is more fun to catch our own. Otherwise, it is very easy if you just want to eat fish.\"\nDiane had already thrown the prey hanging on the horseback over and Randt caught them, one after another. Immediately, his longsword flashed with a cold light and, within a short while, the preys had been skinned.\nThe group chatted and laughed, as they prepared the food in a confusing manner. On normal days all of them were waited on by servants, so naturally, they were not used to any kind of kitchen work. It was not until the sun set before they finally finished preparing dinner.\nSince Rody's wedding, he took everyone and left the Imperial Capital to come to Westwood Province. He had a carefree and unfettered time here, with nothing eventful every day. He spent all his time with his lovers and was also very happy. He really wished to retire in that forest mountain, no longer caught in the messy matters outside.\nHe saw Mouse finally open her eyes, stand up and walk towards them. Rody pulled her hand and whispered, \"How are things?\"\nMouse smiled faintly. \"It was quite alright. In the beginning, the progress was a little slow, but these past two days, it was much better.\"\nAfter she finished, she gently raised her hand and with her fingertips turned out a bunch of small flames. She smiled and said, \"Look.\"\nBeside her, Nicole enviously said, \"Well, truly a Black Veil Saint. Although I am a high-level sorcerer, to use the magic of fire, somehow I would need to first recite some incantation. It is very different from your relaxed style.\"\nMouse blinked her eyes, smiled and said, \"You wish to learn sorcery. I will teach you.\"\nNicole shook her head and smiled, \"Let's forget it. My innate sorcery skill differs greatly from yours. Even if I were to practice, I will absolutely not reach your level. It is still better for you to practice properly. In future, if something happens, only you can help Rody. \"\nRandt handed over a leather bag filled with fine wine. Rody lifted his head and drank a few mouthfuls. Excitement had completely filled him. He smiled and said, \"It has been a long time ever since I had such a carefree feeling. Perhaps it is better to stay here tonight and not go back.\"\nNext to him was Myka, who smiled and whispered, \"If you wish to stay, then let's stay.\"\nAfter she finished speaking, she took out a little harp. She gently fiddled a few times with her slender fingers and, immediately, a stream of wonderful musical notes flowed from her fingers. Myka gently opened her lips and started singing softly.\nEveryone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at Myka. Myka's voice was pleasant. Accompanied by the evening breeze, it intoxicated the people who listened to it.\nWhen the song had ended, everyone was still reflecting, but Diane suddenly shouted, \"Really infuriating!\"\nMyka gave her a glance and held back her laughter, \"Why are you mad again?\nDiane frowned and said, \"Miss Nicole is so refined, beautiful and open-minded. Myka has unparalleled talent in singing and dancing. Mouse excels in magic. Except for me, I am good at nothing!\"\nNicole smiled slightly and said, \"You have swordsman skills and you are a powerful warrior. As far as this is concerned, we cannot compare with you.\"\nDiane rolled her eyes and said, \"Yes, come, Randt, let's fight!\"\nAfter saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and pulled out a dagger. She then headed towards Randt for the challenge.\nThe tall and sturdy Randt was silent. He did not even dare look at Diane, as if he was a wooden stake standing there.\nMyka pulled Diane, smiling as she said, \"You are actually very smart. Rody is the strongest here. Why don't you challenge him?\"\nDiane covered her mouth and smiled, \"Although I am not smart, I am not stupid either. With my ability, I am only able to bully Randt. How would I dare challenge the master of 'Domain Power'?\"\nRody sat at one side and just smiled. Looking at the moonlight in the sky, he just felt that life's happiness could not exceed this. He only hoped that this moment could last for a long time.\nRody sighed. He stood up and looked at Nicole and the others. \"What happened again?\""

第三百一十章
郁金香家族长女妮可小姐出嫁的那场盛大的婚礼，在很长时间内都成为了帝都百姓和贵族圈子里津津乐道的话题。 而且帝都的几家报纸都做了大肆的宣传。
虽然两个大陆的神教在教义上不同，互相视对方为亵渎神灵的伪教徒。
但是至少在光明帝国，神教依然是国教，拥有至高无上的地位。 宗教权甚至可以和皇权并驾齐驱。 就算是从皇帝到帝国的贵族重臣，都是神教的信奉者。
可是在这场盛大的婚礼中，无论是伟大的帝国军神郁金香公爵，还是那位神秘的罗迪侯爵，居然都没有邀请神职人员为自己证婚！
要知道，凡是神教的教徒，婚礼必须是在教堂举行，并且有神职人员主持婚礼这才算是正式的仪式，可是这场影响了帝国政坛形势的婚礼，居然没有一个神教的人员参加！ 就连观礼都没有被邀请！
就连郁金香公爵大人，似乎也不是对神教那么看中的样子……这里面的意义，那就有些耐人寻味了。
婚礼过后，帝国的局势一度很平静，只有北方罗兰大陆的消息被秘密的传来。 当然，这些消息都被帝国上层授意下刻意的封锁住了。
罗兰大陆的战事已经开启，索伦王国成为了罗兰大陆十几个王国联盟的盟主，他们聚集了大约百万的军队和神殿地神圣骑士团进行了大小十三场战役。
但是在泰格的指挥下，他们的庞大军团虽然遭受了一定地损失，但是并没有伤及元气。 泰格居然将百万大军分成了好几路各自为战！ 这样的举动不能不说是很聪明的。
泰格将庞大地军队分成了几路。 却偏偏始终只和敌人骚扰，不给对方决战的机会，显然已经做好了打持久战的机会。
罗兰大陆陷入了僵局，虽然不时有战报传来，但是双放都没有取得决定性的战果。 在这样的时刻。
光明帝国地神教，态度就有些暧昧了。
虽然和北方神殿的教义有分歧，但是眼看北方罗兰大陆神殿和众多王国公然决裂，北方神教几乎陷入了有覆灭可能的危险，光明帝国的神教不免有些兔死狐悲的心情了。
虽然因为两个大陆一向的敌视，神教不可能插手北方大陆的事情，但是这种时刻，神教的地位不免有些尴尬。 在教宗科西嘉六世的授意下，光明帝国各个城市里的宗教所明显比往日要热闹了很多。
很多收买人心的举动已经开始展开了。 比如派送圣水，宣传教义，一些主教大人们亲自奔走各地展开了传教和收买人心等等。
但越在这种时刻，帝都的态度就有些让人心中不安了。
帝国的所有官方保持了沉默！ 历史上，每次这种教会的大规模的活动，都有帝国官方的配合，毕竟在帝国，神教和皇权是互相支持的，但这次的情况看来，似乎在皇帝陛下的授意下，帝国的官方完全站在了一个旁观者的立场上，冷眼看着这些教会的人们来回奔走。
联想到上次的宫廷事变，联想到帝国的第一巨头郁金香家族的婚礼居然没有邀请神教的人，联想到郁金香公爵大人居然不是教徒──这些加起来，不由得不让人遐想。
安迪叹了口气。 他只是随手将下面送来的那些关于各地宗教所活动的报告丢在了一旁，然后拿起了一份来自西北的战报。
西北军团长埃略将军亲笔书写的一份战报，五天前，在西北的瓦特要塞，埃略将军率领的西北军团再次挫败了大月王国罗严塔尔的军队，这次战果很客观，埃略一共斩杀了两万五千名草原骑兵，和以往一样，所有俘虏一个不留，全部处死！ 埃略的铁血手段无疑是最适合对付草原上那些群狼的办法了。
罗严塔尔在这么长时间以来多次进犯，都被埃略挫败，据说龙台金帐已经对于他的损失渐渐无法容忍了！
虽然西北军团也经受了巨大的损失，原本就几乎是重新建立的西北军团已经一再的整编扩充。 可是相比帝国地几乎是无穷无尽的兵源。
安迪微笑看完了这份战报，随手拟定了一个封赏的命令丢给了一个侍从发了下去。
“帝国并不是没有人才，只不过才原来的那个昏庸的阿拔斯十一世地统治下，不亡国才怪呢。” 安迪微微一笑，伸了个懒腰：“不错当皇帝还真是累人啊。
挥手让房间里的所有的侍从都出去，只留下了胖子天烈。 “老骷髅。
教宗那个老王八蛋已经来找了你三次了，你总是不见，不怕他们翻脸么？”
安迪哈哈一笑：“他无非就是看到罗兰大陆神殿的下场，不免有些兔死狐悲，想修补和我们的关系了。 哼哼，光明帝国可不是罗兰大陆的那些王国，在那里所有的王国是一盘散沙，在这里，我们拥有一个强大统一的帝国！ 让他慢慢求我们吧，现在暂时还没有到收拾他们的时候。”
他们想收买人心，好的很啊，就让他们慢慢折腾吧。 我偏偏不让他们吸引人们地注意力！ 我已经下令了，最近帝国所有的报纸全力报道这次罗迪小子婚礼的事情，等婚礼的事情余波过去了。
胖子低头想了一会儿，忽然道：“现在你这么置身事外。 难道是在等什么机会？”
我已经摆明了和神教划清界限了。 那些吸血鬼一定现在高兴地很，会趁机对神教下手的。 让他们狗咬狗吧，反正老子住在皇宫里，就当看不见了。”
安迪摇摇头：“这算什么，过些日子，还有更好看的戏呢！ 对了，这几天那个若兰王妃情绪怎么样的？
我怕她被我们关疯了。” 胖子脸色立刻露出几分笑意：“那个小胖丫头倒是有点天赋。
帝国郁金香家族封地，西林行省首府西丘市郊外，郁金香家族猎场。
那里！” 淡月舞站在一颗树枝上，身上背着一张弓，兴奋的指着远处。
一只野狐正警惕的竖起了耳朵，听见人的呼喊，嗖的一下往草丛里窜了进去。
咻！
随着破空声响起，一支利箭已经准确的插在了正在逃窜的野狐的身上，那只畜生就地翻滚了两下，随即倒下抽搐起来。
一声长嚎，一道灰影如闪电一样的窜了过去，一只三眼灰色的巨狼已经窜了过去，一口将那只野狐叼在口中，不由分说咬下了一块。
“大胆！” 淡月舞从树上跳了下来，口中拿出一个哨子狠狠的吹了一下，那只三眼巨狼立刻浑身发抖，缩成了一团，脑袋埋在地上呜咽。
“好了，淡月舞，够了。” 罗迪骑在一匹黑色的战马之上，手里的弓已经放下，缓缓的从后面上来。
他穿了一身简单的武士装扮，一头蓝色的头发被巧妙的编成了鞭子披散在脑后，也不知道是出自妮可还是缪歌的手笔了。 “不够！
这个家伙总是不老实，一定要狠狠的教训它一番。” 淡月舞又踢了一脚，这才罢休。
这头魔兽原本是当初抢来的。 没想到居然被淡月舞当成了宠物来饲养。 看着淡月舞虽然是一个漂亮的女孩子，可是当她的宠物可不是一件简单的事情。
罗迪呼啸了一声，从树枝上非下了一头夜枭，也是当初从血族手里抢来的那头魔兽。
罗迪收拾了一下挂在马上的猎物，和淡月舞往猎场中间的湖泊去了。
湖畔，早已经收拾出了一个简单的营地，几匹骏马安静的在一旁食草，缪歌和妮可却已经摆好了烧烤架。
唯独妙丝一人坐在湖边，闭目冥想修炼魔力。 这些日子以来，她实力渐渐恢复。
虽然进度缓慢了一些，但是每天冥想修炼魔力，总有一天能恢复当初地黑纱圣者的水准。 只听见扑通一声，从湖水里已经跳出了一个人，正是侍卫兰特。 他全身都已经湿透了。
手里却抓着两条大鱼。 他大步走上了岸，身上运气了斗气，片刻湿透的衣衫就已经全干了。 缪歌已经接过了鱼继续整治了。
罗迪看到这一幕，不禁奇道：“这湖水里原本不是没有鱼么？”
我让人从周围的湖水河流。 里弄了很多鱼苗过来，这些日子过去了，里面早就鱼虾成群了。”
罗迪苦笑道：“你们想吃鱼。 直接从外面带来就是了，何必还弄这么复杂？”
妮可笑吟吟站起来，将罗迪拉了过去，低声笑道：“就是要自己抓才有趣，否则地话，单单想吃鱼那还不简单。”
淡月舞已经将马上打来的那些礼物扔了过来，兰特一一接住了，随即手里的长剑寒光闪过，片刻就将皮毛整理干净。
一群人说说笑笑。 手忙脚乱，可众人平日都是养尊处优，这种厨房里的事情自然都是不怎么会的，直到太阳西落了，才终于将晚餐弄好。
自从罗迪大婚之后，就带着众人离开了帝都来到了西林行省。 在这里过了一段逍遥日子，每天没有什么事情，就和自己地爱人们留在一起，倒也快乐的很，真希望就此退隐山林，不再陷入外面的那些乱七八糟地事情了。
眼看妙丝终于睁开眼睛站了起来，朝这里走来了。 罗迪拉住了她的手，低声道：“怎么样？”
妙丝微微一笑：“还好，开始的时候速度慢了一些，不过这两天进展顺利多了。”
说完，她轻轻抬起了手，指尖幻化出一束小小的火苗，笑道：“你看。”
旁边的妮可不无羡慕道：“唉，到底是黑纱圣者。 我虽然是一个高级魔法师，但是要想使用火系的魔法，怎么也要先念动咒语才行，可远远没有你这么轻松写意呢。”
妙丝眨了眨眼，笑了笑，道：“你想学魔法，我慢慢教你就是了。”
妮可摇头，笑道：“还是算了，我的魔法天赋比你相差太远，修炼也绝对修炼不到你的境界，还是你好好修炼，今后有事情的时候，我们几个实力都太差，也只有你能帮助罗迪了。”
兰特递上了一个皮囊，里面装着美酒，罗迪昂起头痛饮了几口，忍不住心中大快，笑道：“好久没有这么无忧无虑地感觉了。 不如今晚我们就住在这里别回去了。”
旁边缪歌微微一笑，低声道：“你想留下，那就留下吧。”
说完，她取出了一个小小的竖琴，纤细的手指轻轻拨弄了几下，立刻从手下流淌出一段美妙的音符，缪歌轻启朱唇，轻声漫歌。
众人纷纷停住了手里的事情，都看向了缪歌，缪歌的声音悠远动听，伴随着晚风，直将人听得心都醉了一般。
一曲终了，众人依旧在回味中，淡月舞却忽然高声叫道：“气死我了！
缪歌横了她一眼，忍住笑道：“你又发什么疯？”
淡月舞皱眉道：“妮可小姐高贵美丽大方，缪歌歌舞才艺无双，妙丝魔法超绝，只是我，什么都不会！”
妮可微微一笑，道：“你会剑术刀法，可是一个厉害的武士呢，这点我们就都比不上你。”
淡月舞眼珠一转，道：“是了，来，兰特，和我比试一场！”
说完，捋起袖子拔出了一把短剑，就要找兰特挑战。
身材魁梧的兰特却闭嘴不语，就连看都不敢看淡月舞一眼，如木桩一样矗在那里。
缪歌拉住了淡月舞，笑道：“你倒是聪明，这里武力最强的是罗迪，你怎么不找他挑战？”
淡月舞掩嘴笑道：“我虽然不聪明，可也不傻。 以我的本事欺负欺负兰特也就差不多了，怎么敢想领域强者挑战？” 罗迪坐在一旁只是含笑不语。
看着天空的月色，只觉得人生的幸福快乐，莫过与此。 只希愿此刻能长久不息下去。
罗迪叹了口气，站了起来，看了妮可等人一眼：“又出了什么事情？”

Chapter 317: Rody's Happy Life Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The grand wedding of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family, had become the topic of enthusiastic discussion for the common people as well as the aristocrats in the Imperial Capital for a very long time. In addition, several newspapers in the Imperial Capital also published extensive propaganda on this.
Of course, in the eyes of some resolute people, they also saw that little bit of subtle differences...
As everyone knew, regardless whether it was the Roland Continent in the north or the Radiant Empire, people believed in religion. The religious bodies of the two continents were doctrinally different and mutually regarded the other party as blasphemers. However, at least in the Radiant Empire, the Church was still the state religion and had supreme status. Religious rights were even on par with imperial power. Right from the Emperor to aristocrat ministers of the Empire, they were all believers of God.
However, in that grand wedding, whether it was the great Duke of the Tulip Family or the mysterious Marquis Rody, no one invited the clergymen to be witnesses of the marriage!
For all followers of the religion, their marriages must be conducted in the church and presided by the clergy. Only then could it be considered as an official ceremony. However, that wedding that affected the political landscape of the Empire actually did not have any participation of the clergy. In fact, they were even not invited to the ceremony!
Even His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family did not seem to believe in God...The significance of such matter was somewhat thought-provoking.
After the wedding, the situation in the Empire was very peaceful. News about the northern Roland Continent came in secretly. Of course, all those news were deliberately blocked under the command of the higher authority of the Empire.
The war in the Roland Continent had started and the Sauron Kingdom became the leader of the alliance of more than a dozen kingdoms of the Roland Continent. They had gathered millions of troops and, together with the Temple's Holy Knights, have had thirteen large and small skirmishes.
Under the command of General Tiger of the Sauron Kingdom, all of the thirteen military campaigns ended with the defeat of the alliance of kingdoms of the Roland Continent. However, under the command of Tiger, although their huge army suffered certain losses, their strength was not affected. Tiger actually divided the troops of millions into several groups to fight respectively! Such deployment was indeed a very clever move.
From the combat effectiveness of the troops, regardless of whether it was the Royal Knights of the Sauron Kingdom or the armies of any other kingdoms, they were far from comparable with the elite Holy Knights of the Temple. However, in terms of numbers, there was no doubt that the Temple was at an absolute disadvantage. Tiger had divided the huge army into several groups, but purposely only harassed the enemy and did not give them any chance to make a decisive battle stand. Obviously, he had prepared himself for fighting a war of attrition. At the same time, due to the disadvantage of numbers, the Holy Knights of the Temple were unable to divide their troops...If they were to do so, they would only make their troops, which number only few hundred thousand, weaker and ultimately difficult to avoid the danger of attacks on the reduced numbers.
The Roland Continent was caught in a stalemate. Although there were occasional reports of the war, both sides also did not achieve a decisive victory.
In such a moment, the attitude of the Church of the Radiant Empire was somewhat ambiguous.
Although there were disagreements with the doctrines of the northern Temple, seeing the conflict in the northern Roland Continent between the Temple and the kingdoms, there was a possibility that the Temple would be destroyed. The Church of the Radiant Empire inevitably would have some sympathy.
Due to the fact that the two continents had always been hostile to each other, it was impossible for the Church to intervene in the affairs of the northern continent. However, at that moment, the status of the Church was inevitably a little awkward. Under the leadership of Pope Corsica VI, the churches in all the cities of the Radiant Empire were significantly busier than in the past.
Many activities for winning the hearts of the populace had started, such as distributing holy water and disseminating doctrine. Some bishops even personally went out to all parts of the country to preach and to win over the people.
However, at this point in time, the situation in the Imperial Capital was unsettling.
All officials of the Empire had remained silent! Historically, every large-scale activity of the Church would be officially coordinated by the imperial government. After all, in the Empire, the Church and the imperial government had always mutually supported each other. However, based on the situation now, it seemed that under the instruction of the Emperor, the officialdom of the Empire stood completely on the sidelines as a spectator and indifferently watched the people from the churches busy running back and forth.
Thinking of the last court event; thinking of the wedding of the Empire's most important figure in the Tulip Family; that people from the Church were not invited; and that His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family was actually not a believer of God...With all those added up, the people could not help wondering.
"Let them jump! The higher they jump, the heavier they fall!" Andy sighed. He just casually put aside those reports on the activities of the Church in various places that were sent to him and then picked up a battlefield report from the northwest.
General Elliot of the Northwestern Army personally wrote a report on the battlefield. Five days ago, at the Watts Fortress in the Northwest, the Northwestern Army led by General Elliot, once again, thwarted the army of the Great Moon Kingdom led by Reuenthal. That time, the military objective was very successful. General Elliot killed a total of twenty-five thousand grassland cavalry. As in the past, he did not spare any prisoners...All were executed!
Elliot's iron-fist approach was undoubtedly the most suitable way to deal with those wolves in the grassland. Reuenthal had repeatedly invaded for such a long /time but had always been foiled by Elliot. It was said that the Dragon Plateau had already started to find their losses gradually intolerable!
The Northwest Army had also suffered huge losses, but the original Northwest Army had been re-established earlier and reorganized and expanded repeatedly. The Empire was almost an endless source of soldiers compared to the grassland where the population was too sparse.
Andy smiled after reading the battlefield report. He immediately drafted an order and gave it to a chamberlain to send it down.
"The Empire is not without talent. However, under the jurisdiction of the original muddleheaded Abbas XI, it would be a wonder if the nation was not subjugated." Andy smiled and stretched himself lazily. "Very true...It is really tiring to be an Emperor. This old man here really cherish those days when I was sleeping all day."
Andy waved his hand to send all the chamberlains in the room away. Only Fatty Sky stayed behind.
"Old Skeleton, the damn old Pope has asked to see you three times. You have always refused to see him. Are you not afraid of offending them?"
Andy laughed. "It is because he saw the fate of the Temple in the Roland Continent. He is inevitably somewhat distressed because he is concerned that the same misfortune may befall the Church and wants to repair our relationship. Hmm, the Radiant Empire is not like those kingdoms of the Roland Continent where all the kingdoms are not cooperative. Here, we have a strong and unified empire! Let him wait. It is not the time to sort them out yet."
After pausing for a while, Andy's smile gradually turned treacherous. "I have ordered all newspapers not to report any activities of the Church! They wish to win over the people, very good, ah. Just let them struggle slowly with it. I will not allow them to get the people's attention! I have already ordered all the newspapers in the Empire to give full coverage of Rody's recent wedding. After the news of the wedding has quieted down, give full coverage of the war in the northwest! Coincidentally, Elliot has won the war again! Hmm, the Church! They have gone to such great lengths and put in so much effort, but they could not catch the public's attention! It is like throwing a stone into the water. I purposely made sure that there would not be any splash at all!"
Fatty lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Right now, you have been staying out of this matter. Are you waiting for an opportunity?"
Andy nodded. "Yes, I have waited for so long. I think those vampires should also have noticed something, right? I have made it clear when I drew the boundary with the Church. Those vampires must be very happy now. They will seize the opportunity to attack the Church. Let them fight it out. Anyway, I live in the palace now and will pretend that I did not see anything."
Andy shook his head. "This is nothing. Some days later, there will be even better shows to see! By the way, how is Princess Ruolan these days? I am afraid she has gone crazy, getting stuck in captivity."
...
In the fief of the Tulip Family of the Empire, at the outskirts of West Hill of the capital city of Westwood Province was the Tulip Family hunting ground.
"Rody, hurry up! There!" Diane stood on a branch of a tree, carrying a bow and excitedly pointing at the distance.
Hearing the shouts of people, a wild fox vigilantly pricked its ears, whizzed into the underbrush and channeled into it.
Swish!
As an air-splitting sound broke out, a sharp arrow bored right into the body of the fleeing wild fox. The beast rolled on the spot twice, then it immediately collapsed and started to twitch.
After a long howl, a gray shadow channeled through like lightning. A huge three-eyed gray wolf had channeled over and bit that wild fox in the mouth. Straightaway, it bit off a piece.
"How dare you!" Diane jumped down from the tree. She pulled out a whistle and fiercely blew it. That three-eyed wolf immediately trembled, shrunk into a mass and buried its head in the ground whimpering. Diane mercilessly flayed it twice with her whip before stopping.
"Enough, Diane, enough." Rody was riding on a black warhorse. He had already put down the bow in his hand as he slowly approached from behind.
He wore a simple warrior outfit. His blue hair was ingeniously pleated into a whip and draped at the back of his head. It was not known whether that was the handiwork of Nicole or Myka.
"Not enough! This guy is always not obedient. I must teach it a good lesson." Diane kicked again before she stopped.
Rody sat on his horse not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. He also did understand how a woman thought. That monster was a captured beast—he had not expected Diane to actually treat it as a pet.
Rody whistled and a night owl flew down from the branch of a tree. The owl was also originally one of the beasts they had snatched from the vampires.
Rody tidied up the prey hanging on the horse. Together with Diane, they went towards the lake in the middle of the hunting ground.
At the lakeside, a simple camp had already been set up. A few fine horses were quietly feeding on grass at the side. Myka and Nicole had already laid out the barbecue grill.
Mouse was sitting by the lakeside alone with her eyes closed, meditating and practicing magic power. In the previous few days, her strength had gradually restored. Although the progress was a little slow, she meditated and practiced magic every day. One fine day, she would be able to restore her powers to the level of the original Black Veil Saint.
They heard a 'plop' sound and a person jumped out of the lake. It was the bodyguard, Randt. His whole body was soaked and he had two big fish in his hands.
He strode onto the shore. He gathered his fighting energy and, in a moment, his wet clothes were completely dry. Myka had already taken over the fish and proceeded to prepare them.
When Rody looked at that scene, he couldn’t help but wonder, "Isn't this lake without fishes?"
Nicole looked up and smiled. "Originally, there were none. But after we left last time, I got some people to channel a lot of fry from the surrounding lakes and rivers. After all these days, the lake is now full of fishes and shrimps."
Rody gave a wry smile. "If you want to eat fish, just bring some directly from outside. Why do you need to go through so much trouble?"
Nicole smiled and stood up. She pulled Rody over and whispered, "It is more fun to catch our own. Otherwise, it is very easy if you just want to eat fish."
Diane had already thrown the prey hanging on the horseback over and Randt caught them, one after another. Immediately, his longsword flashed with a cold light and, within a short while, the preys had been skinned.
The group chatted and laughed, as they prepared the food in a confusing manner. On normal days all of them were waited on by servants, so naturally, they were not used to any kind of kitchen work. It was not until the sun set before they finally finished preparing dinner.
Since Rody's wedding, he took everyone and left the Imperial Capital to come to Westwood Province. He had a carefree and unfettered time here, with nothing eventful every day. He spent all his time with his lovers and was also very happy. He really wished to retire in that forest mountain, no longer caught in the messy matters outside.
He saw Mouse finally open her eyes, stand up and walk towards them. Rody pulled her hand and whispered, "How are things?"
Mouse smiled faintly. "It was quite alright. In the beginning, the progress was a little slow, but these past two days, it was much better."
After she finished, she gently raised her hand and with her fingertips turned out a bunch of small flames. She smiled and said, "Look."
Beside her, Nicole enviously said, "Well, truly a Black Veil Saint. Although I am a high-level sorcerer, to use the magic of fire, somehow I would need to first recite some incantation. It is very different from your relaxed style."
Mouse blinked her eyes, smiled and said, "You wish to learn sorcery. I will teach you."
Nicole shook her head and smiled, "Let's forget it. My innate sorcery skill differs greatly from yours. Even if I were to practice, I will absolutely not reach your level. It is still better for you to practice properly. In future, if something happens, only you can help Rody. "
Randt handed over a leather bag filled with fine wine. Rody lifted his head and drank a few mouthfuls. Excitement had completely filled him. He smiled and said, "It has been a long time ever since I had such a carefree feeling. Perhaps it is better to stay here tonight and not go back."
Next to him was Myka, who smiled and whispered, "If you wish to stay, then let's stay."
After she finished speaking, she took out a little harp. She gently fiddled a few times with her slender fingers and, immediately, a stream of wonderful musical notes flowed from her fingers. Myka gently opened her lips and started singing softly.
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at Myka. Myka's voice was pleasant. Accompanied by the evening breeze, it intoxicated the people who listened to it.
When the song had ended, everyone was still reflecting, but Diane suddenly shouted, "Really infuriating!"
Myka gave her a glance and held back her laughter, "Why are you mad again?
Diane frowned and said, "Miss Nicole is so refined, beautiful and open-minded. Myka has unparalleled talent in singing and dancing. Mouse excels in magic. Except for me, I am good at nothing!"
Nicole smiled slightly and said, "You have swordsman skills and you are a powerful warrior. As far as this is concerned, we cannot compare with you."
Diane rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, come, Randt, let's fight!"
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and pulled out a dagger. She then headed towards Randt for the challenge.
The tall and sturdy Randt was silent. He did not even dare look at Diane, as if he was a wooden stake standing there.
Myka pulled Diane, smiling as she said, "You are actually very smart. Rody is the strongest here. Why don't you challenge him?"
Diane covered her mouth and smiled, "Although I am not smart, I am not stupid either. With my ability, I am only able to bully Randt. How would I dare challenge the master of 'Domain Power'?"
Rody sat at one side and just smiled. Looking at the moonlight in the sky, he just felt that life's happiness could not exceed this. He only hoped that this moment could last for a long time.
Rody sighed. He stood up and looked at Nicole and the others. "What happened again?"

"value": "Chapter 41: Cripple the Two of Them!\nWhen Cheng Yu walked out of the building, he saw a man quarrelling with Xiao Si.\n“What’s wrong? Do you have any objection with me parking my car here?” Cheng Yu asked indifferently.\nWhen he heard a voice, Zheng Zeqiao turned around and gazed at Cheng Yu. So young? Most likely Yang Ruoxue would not like such a man. As for Xiao Si, when he saw the car’s owner had arrived, he heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would really need to start packing his stuff and leave.\n“Don’t you know that cars can’t be parked here?”\n“I know. I still wish to park my car there. What can you do?”\nZheng Zeqiao face darkened, as he was really unable to do anything to Cheng Yu.\nWhen Xiao Si heard what Zheng Ziqiao said, his complexion turned pale. He looked at Cheng Yu sorrowfully, hoping that he would be able to keep him here.\n“Haha! Don’t need to be scared. I said before, if there were to be any problems, I would stand up for you. From your appearance, I believe that you are not just any employee in the company right?” Cheng Yu looked at Zheng Zeqiao and said complacently.\n“Not that bad. Just a project director in the company,” Zheng Zeqiao said loftily. At the age of 25, he was already a director inside such a big company. This was indeed very hard to achieve. Although part of his achievement was due to his father being the Vice President of the Wanmei Group, without his own abilities, he would not be able to achieve what he did.\n“It sounds pretty awesome. Alright. Since it’s like that, I will also not be able to do anything to you.” When he heard Cheng Yu’s words, Zheng Zeqiao thought that he would be getting out of here soon.\nCheng Yu took out his phone and called Yang Ruoxue, ”Hello. What’s the matter?” Yang Ruoxue replied on the phone.\n“Oh. Your project director wishes to fire one of your security guards. I think that this security guard does his work quite seriously. Will you be able to help me to keep him here?”\n“Which director?”\n“What’s your name?”\n“A guy whose surname is Zheng. Here. Your boss wants to talk to you.” Cheng Yu passed the phone over to Zheng Zeqiao.\n“Ah! Director Yang? Yes, yes, yes. It’s me. Ah? Like this? Ok.” When Zheng Zeqiao picked up the phone, his grandeur had obviously weakened a lot. Although he liked Yang Ruoxue, in front of her, he did not possess any grandeur, as he was completely suppressed by her.\n“Alright. Forget about it. In future, be more responsible,” Zheng Zeqiao gave the phone back to Cheng Yu and said to Xiao Si.\n“Yes, yes. Thank you Director Zheng. Thank you Mr. Cheng,” Xiao Si said happily.\nXinguang Nightclub? Could it be that he was from the Blood Wolf Gang? Zheng Zeqiao frowned. As he always went out during the night, naturally he would know of the Xinguang Nightclub. He also knew that it was the Blood Wolf Gang’s territory as well.\nAs Cheng Yu was bored, he went for a drive before returning back home. When he reached home, it was around 3pm. The house was empty and it seemed like the little girl had driven her new car out to flaunt in front of her sisters.\nAround 8 pm, inside Qin Canghai’s room at the Xinguang Nightclub… Only allowed on Creativenovels.com\n“Big Brother, we really met someone who is very formidable!” Wu Chang sat on the chair and said. He had an expression of confusion as he did not know what was going on.\n“That’s right! When he passed me the pill, I was filled with doubts. I did not expect that you would really be able to restore back to your healthy self within a night. If I did not witness it with my eyes, I would definitely not believe it.” Qin Canghai sat on the chair as he smoked a cigarette.\n“Yeah, seriously! Third Brother, you weren’t there. That fellow could even stop bullets. When he waved his hand, he could even cleave a person into two. This kind of situation, you have never experienced before. You will never be able to experience what I experienced with Big Brother for your lifetime. It was very frightening!” Thinking back to the scene, Bao Lang still felt lingering fears to it.\n“Aish. At that time, I brought a few of our members together with me. With just two to three punches, I got knocked down by him. At that point, I knew that the other party’s strength was not something we would be able to resist. I didn’t expect that, just after a few days, the situation would turn out to be like that,” Wu Chang said disappointedly.\n“Third Brother, he said that you would need to hand over the Nightrose to him. I hope you will listen to him and hand it over. Otherwise, he might really kill you,” Qin Canghai looked at Wu Chang and said.\n“I will. Since the situation has already turned out to become like this, we could only submit to him. Besides, it may not be such a bad thing to actually follow such a person,” Wu Chang said after thinking.\n“I agreed. Unfortunately, Third Brother will not be able to practice martial arts again.”\n“Haha! During the time I spent in the hospital, I have already figured it out. To me, this is not something I will regret.”\n“That is good as long as you are able to stick to it. Besides, even though we became his underlings, not just anyone will be able to provoke us. At least we are still the managers in the Blood Wolf Gang.”\n*Knock, knock, knock* At this moment, the sound of knocking was heard outside the room.\n“Come in!” Qin Canghai said.\n“Big Brother, that kid, Jiang Ming, has brought someone here to see you,” Dao Jiu came in facing Qin Canghai and said. He had just returned from the hospital. The injury on his hand had almost recovered.\n“Hmph! This kid is pretty audacious! He caused us to become like this and still dares to come and find us. Bring them in!” When he heard the kid, Jiang Ming, is looking for him, Qin Canghai replied gloomily.\nA few moments later, Dao Jiu brought Jiang Ming and another boy who looked as young as him in.\n“Hello Uncle Qin, Uncle Bao Lang and Uncle Wu. I am here today because I wish to introduce to a friend to three uncles,” The moment he entered the room, Jiang Ming chuckle and said.\n“Is that so? Tell me, what’s the background of your friend?” Qin Canghai looked at the both of them and said indifferently.\nJiang Ming nudged the nearby Xu Yuandong. Xu Yuandong started to get very anxious. All the while, all those people he knew were just some small fries, but these people in front of him right now were genuine syndicate bosses. If he was to say he was not anxious, it would be a lie. Furthermore, he was able to tell that these few bosses didn’t really like Jiang Ming and him.\n“Oh? You are the son of Deputy Mayor Xu? Haha! Alright. Both of you, take a seat. Tell me, why are the both of you looking for me?”\nWhen he saw the Qin Canghai had become more polite after he stated his father’s name, Xu Yuandong’s courage slowly returned as he said, ”It’s like this, I have an enemy in school. However, he’s very good at fighting. I am not his opponent in regards to that. I wish to hire the bosses here to help me teach that boy a lesson!”\n“Hiring us to teach a student a lesson? This is not what we do. I think it would be better if I were to get you some people. In any case, you are still the son of Deputy Mayor Xu, I must still give you some face.”\n“An average person would not be his match. I can give you money. Is $100,000 enough? You will just need to beat him up. That’s all.”\n“Haha! Young Master Xu, it’s just 100,000. I don’t even put that amount of money in my eyes. Moreover, it’s impossible for us to undertake that task. I am only able to get you some people, and as for whether you want them or not, it’s up to you.”\n“All these people would not be his match! Boss Qin, tell me how much money do you need before you will accept this request? As long as it’s within my budget, I will definitely give it to you.”\n“As for how much money you are willing to offer, I am curious as to how you were bullied by him. For you to hate him so much causing you to not even hesitate to pay such a big amount just to have him beaten up,” Qin Canghai smiled and he said.\n“Not only did he cripple my hand a while ago, he would also provoke me in school. Most importantly, your Blood Wolf Gang members have been beaten up by him before!”\nThe moment Qin Canghai heard the sentence, he was already able to determine who the culprit was. His complexion turned cold as he asked, ”What’s his name?”\nWhen he saw Qin Canghai’s expression, Xu Yuandong was elated. He thought the change of complexion was due to Blood Wolf Gang members being beaten up. Hence he shouted, ”Cheng Yu!”\n“Someone!” Qin Canghai faced the door and shouted. Immediately, a dozen of people rushed in.\n“Help me to cripple the two of them!” Qin Canghai pointed at Jiang Ming and Xu Yuandong while he spoke.\n“Bam!” The both of them fell off from the chair. Jiang Ming was intimidated to the point of him pissing his pants as he yelled, ”Uncle Qin! WHY?!”\n“Let me tell you, Young Master Yu is not someone you people can provoke. If you wish to continue living, it would be best for you to be more polite to him the next time you see him. Drag them away and cripple them!”\n“Noooooo! Uncle Qin, I will not dare to do it again!”\n“Noooooo! Boss Qin, I am wrong! Please don’t cripple me!” Both of them cried while being dragged away.\nWhen Cheng Yu exited his room, it was already night time. Zhao Minglong and his family were sitting inside the living room chatting.\n“Xiao Yu, why did you buy such an expensive car for Fangfang?” When she saw Cheng Yu coming out from his room, Cheng Meiyan said discontentedly.\n“Haha! All that matters is Fangfang likes it. Why bother thinking about it?”\n“That’s right! Cousin dotes on me the most!” Zhao Yunfang grinned.\n“Where did you get so much money from? The car you bought earlier costed several millions!” Cheng Meiyang looked at Cheng Yu.\n“Haha! I am currently doing some businesses. This amount is nothing to me.”\n“Don’t think I don’t know, the deal is currently still in the initial stage. Will there even be money given to you?”\n“It’s really the money from deal! I discussed with Yang Ruoxue for another deal. It’s regarding the Longevity Pill. From that, I took some cash from her.” Cheng Yu did not wish to tell her about how he had destroyed one of the gangs and taken over their properties.\n“Is it really like this? All you did was signing the contract. She was willing to give you so much money?”\n“Of course! It’s not like you don’t know the effect of the Longevity Pill. Just this contract alone, and I would not be able to calculate how much I would be able to profit in the future. If I were to take this and find other companies, it would definitely be more that this amount.”\nWhen she heard what Cheng Yu said, Cheng Meiyan no longer continued. After all, the Longevity Pill was truly mysterious. Such miraculous pills would definitely be snatched no matter where it was. “Since it’s like that, I will not say much. I am just worried that just because of money, you would do something bad. Oh yes, since you were alone at home, you didn’t have dinner yet, right? I have prepared food in the kitchen. You can go and eat it!”\n“It’s ok. I still need to go out. When the time comes, I will eat it.”\n“It’s late at night. You are not staying at home, but still going out?”\n“I am going out to handle some matters. All of you can rest first.” After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he walked out of the house."

第四十一章 把他俩给我废了！
程宇走出一楼大厅来到门口，正看到一个男子对着小四骂骂咧咧。
“怎么，我在这里停车你很有意见吗？” 程宇走过去淡淡的说道。
杨若雪应该不喜欢这样的小男人吧。 而小四见到正主来了，也是捏了把汗，不然自己可能真的要卷铺盖走人了。
“你不知道这里不能停车吗？”
郑泽乔脸色阴沉，可是他还真的不能将他怎么样。
“我确实不能将你怎么样，可是我可以将他开除了。”
郑泽乔指着小四说道。 小四听到这话，脸色煞白，哀求的看着程宇，希望他能让自己留下来。
“还好，也只是公司一个项目总监罢了。”
郑泽乔傲然说道，在二十五岁的年纪就坐上万美这样的大集团公司的总监位子确实不是一般人能做到的，虽然其中有自己副总经理老爹的原因，不过自己的实力还是最重要的。
“听起来好像挺厉害的，好吧，既然这样我也拿你没办法。” 听到程宇这话小四两腿一抖，以为自己真的要滚蛋了。
程宇掏出电话，给杨若雪拨了过去，“喂，什么事？” 电话那头回道。
“哦，你的一个什么项目总监要开除你的保安，我觉得这个保安做事挺认真的，你帮我把他保下来吧。”
“哪个总监？”
“你叫什么名字。”
嗯，给，你们老板跟你说说。” 程宇将电话给了郑泽乔。
好的好的。” 郑泽乔接过电话气势明显弱了一圈，自己虽然喜欢杨若雪，可是在她面前，自己却没有半点气势，完全被人家给压住了。 “好了，没事了，下次做事负责点。”
郑泽乔把电话递给程宇，然后对着小四说道。
“是是是，谢谢郑总监。 谢谢你程先生。”
难道他是血狼帮的人？ 郑泽乔皱着眉头想到，对于他这种天天混夜场的人自然知道新光夜总会，也知道那是血狼帮的地盘。
程宇开着车没事到处兜了一圈，看看时间才下午三点多便回家去了。 回到家里一个人都没有，小丫头看来开着自己的新车去跟她那些小姐妹们炫耀去了。
晚上八点多，新光夜总会秦沧海的房间里。
“大哥，咱们这次真是遇到高人了。” 吴常坐在椅子上说道，看不明白脸上是什么表情。
“是啊，上次他给我那颗药丸的时候，我也是一阵怀疑，可是没想到你竟然真的一个晚上的时间就恢复如初了。 如果不是亲眼看到，真的不敢相信。”
秦沧海坐在椅子上抽了口烟说道。 “是啊，老三，你当时是没看到啊，那家伙连子弹都打不进去，挥手之间就将人劈成两半，这场面，你没有亲身经历过，永远都没法体验当时我跟大哥的滋味，真的是太吓人了。” 想起当时的场面，暴狼现在还是心有余悸。
“哎，当时我带着人过去，三两下就人家打倒在地了，我就知道对方不是我们能够力敌的了，没想到几天不见会变成这样。” 吴常也是有些失落的说道。
“老三，他说让你把夜玫瑰交出来，我希望你还是听他的话，把它交出来，不然他真的可能会杀了你。” 秦沧海看着吴常说道。
“我会的，既然事情已经变成这样了，我们也只能认了，再说跟着这样的人我们未必不是好事。” 吴常想了想说道。
“我也是这么想的，可惜老三你没法再习武了。”
“呵呵，这段时间在医院我已经想通了，这对我来说没什么遗憾的。”
“那就好，只要你自己看的开，再说，就算成了他的下属，可是也不是什么人都可以挑衅我们的，至少我们现在还是血狼帮的掌事人嘛。”
“邦邦邦”，这时候外面传来一阵敲门声。
“进来！” 秦沧海说道。
“大哥，江明那小子带了个人来说是要见你。” 刀九进来对着秦沧海说道，此时，他也从医院回来了，手上的伤也基本上好的差不多了。
“哼，他小子倒是胆大，害的我们这样了还敢来找我们，去，把他们带进来。” 听到江明这小子来找他，秦沧海阴沉着脸说道。
不一会儿，刀九就带着江明还有一个跟他差不多大的小子进来了。
“秦叔叔，暴狼叔，吴叔叔你们好，我今天来是带个朋友来想跟三位叔叔认识一下。” 一进门，江明就笑呵呵的说道。
说说看，你这位朋友是什么人？” 秦沧海看着淡淡的说道。
江明用手捅了捅旁边的徐东远，徐东远紧张的不得了，以前自己认识的都是小混混，可是这几位都是真正黑帮的老大，说不紧张那是假的，而且他也看出来了，这几位好像并不怎么待见江明和自己啊。
“我，我叫徐东远，是云海市副市长徐绍和的儿子。” 徐东远颤声说道。
听到自己报了老子的名号后明显客气了不少，徐东远也安稳了不少，想了想说道：“是这样的，我在学校有一个对头，不过这人打架很厉害，我不是他的对手，我想请几位老大帮我教训一下那个小子。”
“让我们出手教训一个学生？ 这可不是我们做的，我还是给你找点人吧，好歹你也是副市长的公子，这个面子还是要给的。”
“一般人不是他的对手，我可以给你们钱，10万块，只要你们帮我把他揍一顿。”
“呵呵，徐公子，10万块我们还看不在眼里，而且还是让我们出手，那是不可能的，我们也不会答应你的。 我可以帮你叫些人，要不要就随便你们了。”
“可是这些人真的不是他的对手，秦老大，你说要多少钱你们才肯出手，只要我出的起，我一定不二话。”
“对于你出多少钱，我们更好奇是你被他欺负成什么样，才让你这么痛恨他，甚至不惜花这么大代价？” 秦沧海笑着说道。
“他不仅前段时间把我的手废了，而且时不时的在学校挑衅我，最重要的是，你们血狼帮的人之前也被他打过一顿。”
秦沧海听到这里基本已经可以确定这人是谁了，脸色一冷，说道：“他叫什么名字？”
看到秦沧海的表情，徐东远大喜，以为是自己刚才说他们血狼帮也让人挑了才会这个样子，于是大声说道：“程宇。” “来人！”
秦沧海向着外面大喊一声，外面立刻涌进十几个人来。
“把这俩小子给我废了。” 秦沧海指着江明和徐东远说道。 “啪！”
两人从椅子上摔下来，江明吓的屁滚尿流，大声喊道：“秦叔叔，为什么啊？”
“我告诉你们，宇少不是你们可以惹的，如果你们还想活的长久一点，以后看到他最好是客客气气的，将他们拖出去给我废了。” “不要啊！
秦叔叔，我以后再也不敢了！” “不要啊！
秦老大，我错了，不要打我啊。” 两人被人拖着哭喊道。
程宇晚上从房间出来的时候，赵明龙一家三口已经坐在客厅里聊天了。
“小宇，你怎么真的给芳芳买这么贵的车？” 看到程宇从房间出来，程美颜有些不满的说道。
“呵呵，芳芳喜欢就行了，想那么多干什么？”
“就是，还是表哥最疼我。”
赵芸芳笑嘻嘻的说道。 “你哪来这么多钱，你自己那车就要好几百万吧！” 程美颜看着程宇说道。
“呵呵，我现在不是做生意了么？ 这点钱什么？”
“你不要以为我不懂，你现在的合作才是开始阶段，有没有钱我会不知道吗？”
“真的是合作的钱，我又跟杨若雪谈了一个长生丹的合作，跟她拿了点现金。” 程宇可不会跟她说自己是把别人的帮派灭了，清了人家的家产。
“真的是这样？ 你们只是定了合同她就给了你这么多钱？”
“当然，你又不是不知道我那长生丹的效果，这笔生意以后不知道可以赚多少钱，这点算什么？ 我就是随便拿着它找个大公司都不止这个数。”
听到程宇这么说，程美颜也不再说什么，毕竟他手上的长生丹的确太过神奇，这样的仙丹灵药到哪里都疯抢不可的。 “既然是这样我也不多说什么，就是怕你为了钱做什么错事，对了，你一个人在家还没吃饭吧！
厨房里我做了饭，你去吃吧！” “不了，我还要出去一趟，到时候再吃吧！”
“大晚上的，你不在家待着还跑到哪里去？”
“出去办点事，你们先休息吧。” 说罢便向外面走去。

Chapter 41: Cripple the Two of Them!
When Cheng Yu walked out of the building, he saw a man quarrelling with Xiao Si.
“What’s wrong? Do you have any objection with me parking my car here?” Cheng Yu asked indifferently.
When he heard a voice, Zheng Zeqiao turned around and gazed at Cheng Yu. So young? Most likely Yang Ruoxue would not like such a man. As for Xiao Si, when he saw the car’s owner had arrived, he heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would really need to start packing his stuff and leave.
“Don’t you know that cars can’t be parked here?”
“I know. I still wish to park my car there. What can you do?”
Zheng Zeqiao face darkened, as he was really unable to do anything to Cheng Yu.
When Xiao Si heard what Zheng Ziqiao said, his complexion turned pale. He looked at Cheng Yu sorrowfully, hoping that he would be able to keep him here.
“Haha! Don’t need to be scared. I said before, if there were to be any problems, I would stand up for you. From your appearance, I believe that you are not just any employee in the company right?” Cheng Yu looked at Zheng Zeqiao and said complacently.
“Not that bad. Just a project director in the company,” Zheng Zeqiao said loftily. At the age of 25, he was already a director inside such a big company. This was indeed very hard to achieve. Although part of his achievement was due to his father being the Vice President of the Wanmei Group, without his own abilities, he would not be able to achieve what he did.
“It sounds pretty awesome. Alright. Since it’s like that, I will also not be able to do anything to you.” When he heard Cheng Yu’s words, Zheng Zeqiao thought that he would be getting out of here soon.
Cheng Yu took out his phone and called Yang Ruoxue, ”Hello. What’s the matter?” Yang Ruoxue replied on the phone.
“Oh. Your project director wishes to fire one of your security guards. I think that this security guard does his work quite seriously. Will you be able to help me to keep him here?”
“Which director?”
“What’s your name?”
“A guy whose surname is Zheng. Here. Your boss wants to talk to you.” Cheng Yu passed the phone over to Zheng Zeqiao.
“Ah! Director Yang? Yes, yes, yes. It’s me. Ah? Like this? Ok.” When Zheng Zeqiao picked up the phone, his grandeur had obviously weakened a lot. Although he liked Yang Ruoxue, in front of her, he did not possess any grandeur, as he was completely suppressed by her.
“Alright. Forget about it. In future, be more responsible,” Zheng Zeqiao gave the phone back to Cheng Yu and said to Xiao Si.
“Yes, yes. Thank you Director Zheng. Thank you Mr. Cheng,” Xiao Si said happily.
Xinguang Nightclub? Could it be that he was from the Blood Wolf Gang? Zheng Zeqiao frowned. As he always went out during the night, naturally he would know of the Xinguang Nightclub. He also knew that it was the Blood Wolf Gang’s territory as well.
As Cheng Yu was bored, he went for a drive before returning back home. When he reached home, it was around 3pm. The house was empty and it seemed like the little girl had driven her new car out to flaunt in front of her sisters.
Around 8 pm, inside Qin Canghai’s room at the Xinguang Nightclub… Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
“Big Brother, we really met someone who is very formidable!” Wu Chang sat on the chair and said. He had an expression of confusion as he did not know what was going on.
“That’s right! When he passed me the pill, I was filled with doubts. I did not expect that you would really be able to restore back to your healthy self within a night. If I did not witness it with my eyes, I would definitely not believe it.” Qin Canghai sat on the chair as he smoked a cigarette.
“Yeah, seriously! Third Brother, you weren’t there. That fellow could even stop bullets. When he waved his hand, he could even cleave a person into two. This kind of situation, you have never experienced before. You will never be able to experience what I experienced with Big Brother for your lifetime. It was very frightening!” Thinking back to the scene, Bao Lang still felt lingering fears to it.
“Aish. At that time, I brought a few of our members together with me. With just two to three punches, I got knocked down by him. At that point, I knew that the other party’s strength was not something we would be able to resist. I didn’t expect that, just after a few days, the situation would turn out to be like that,” Wu Chang said disappointedly.
“Third Brother, he said that you would need to hand over the Nightrose to him. I hope you will listen to him and hand it over. Otherwise, he might really kill you,” Qin Canghai looked at Wu Chang and said.
“I will. Since the situation has already turned out to become like this, we could only submit to him. Besides, it may not be such a bad thing to actually follow such a person,” Wu Chang said after thinking.
“I agreed. Unfortunately, Third Brother will not be able to practice martial arts again.”
“Haha! During the time I spent in the hospital, I have already figured it out. To me, this is not something I will regret.”
“That is good as long as you are able to stick to it. Besides, even though we became his underlings, not just anyone will be able to provoke us. At least we are still the managers in the Blood Wolf Gang.”
*Knock, knock, knock* At this moment, the sound of knocking was heard outside the room.
“Come in!” Qin Canghai said.
“Big Brother, that kid, Jiang Ming, has brought someone here to see you,” Dao Jiu came in facing Qin Canghai and said. He had just returned from the hospital. The injury on his hand had almost recovered.
“Hmph! This kid is pretty audacious! He caused us to become like this and still dares to come and find us. Bring them in!” When he heard the kid, Jiang Ming, is looking for him, Qin Canghai replied gloomily.
A few moments later, Dao Jiu brought Jiang Ming and another boy who looked as young as him in.
“Hello Uncle Qin, Uncle Bao Lang and Uncle Wu. I am here today because I wish to introduce to a friend to three uncles,” The moment he entered the room, Jiang Ming chuckle and said.
“Is that so? Tell me, what’s the background of your friend?” Qin Canghai looked at the both of them and said indifferently.
Jiang Ming nudged the nearby Xu Yuandong. Xu Yuandong started to get very anxious. All the while, all those people he knew were just some small fries, but these people in front of him right now were genuine syndicate bosses. If he was to say he was not anxious, it would be a lie. Furthermore, he was able to tell that these few bosses didn’t really like Jiang Ming and him.
“Oh? You are the son of Deputy Mayor Xu? Haha! Alright. Both of you, take a seat. Tell me, why are the both of you looking for me?”
When he saw the Qin Canghai had become more polite after he stated his father’s name, Xu Yuandong’s courage slowly returned as he said, ”It’s like this, I have an enemy in school. However, he’s very good at fighting. I am not his opponent in regards to that. I wish to hire the bosses here to help me teach that boy a lesson!”
“Hiring us to teach a student a lesson? This is not what we do. I think it would be better if I were to get you some people. In any case, you are still the son of Deputy Mayor Xu, I must still give you some face.”
“An average person would not be his match. I can give you money. Is $100,000 enough? You will just need to beat him up. That’s all.”
“Haha! Young Master Xu, it’s just 100,000. I don’t even put that amount of money in my eyes. Moreover, it’s impossible for us to undertake that task. I am only able to get you some people, and as for whether you want them or not, it’s up to you.”
“All these people would not be his match! Boss Qin, tell me how much money do you need before you will accept this request? As long as it’s within my budget, I will definitely give it to you.”
“As for how much money you are willing to offer, I am curious as to how you were bullied by him. For you to hate him so much causing you to not even hesitate to pay such a big amount just to have him beaten up,” Qin Canghai smiled and he said.
“Not only did he cripple my hand a while ago, he would also provoke me in school. Most importantly, your Blood Wolf Gang members have been beaten up by him before!”
The moment Qin Canghai heard the sentence, he was already able to determine who the culprit was. His complexion turned cold as he asked, ”What’s his name?”
When he saw Qin Canghai’s expression, Xu Yuandong was elated. He thought the change of complexion was due to Blood Wolf Gang members being beaten up. Hence he shouted, ”Cheng Yu!”
“Someone!” Qin Canghai faced the door and shouted. Immediately, a dozen of people rushed in.
“Help me to cripple the two of them!” Qin Canghai pointed at Jiang Ming and Xu Yuandong while he spoke.
“Bam!” The both of them fell off from the chair. Jiang Ming was intimidated to the point of him pissing his pants as he yelled, ”Uncle Qin! WHY?!”
“Let me tell you, Young Master Yu is not someone you people can provoke. If you wish to continue living, it would be best for you to be more polite to him the next time you see him. Drag them away and cripple them!”
“Noooooo! Uncle Qin, I will not dare to do it again!”
“Noooooo! Boss Qin, I am wrong! Please don’t cripple me!” Both of them cried while being dragged away.
When Cheng Yu exited his room, it was already night time. Zhao Minglong and his family were sitting inside the living room chatting.
“Xiao Yu, why did you buy such an expensive car for Fangfang?” When she saw Cheng Yu coming out from his room, Cheng Meiyan said discontentedly.
“Haha! All that matters is Fangfang likes it. Why bother thinking about it?”
“That’s right! Cousin dotes on me the most!” Zhao Yunfang grinned.
“Where did you get so much money from? The car you bought earlier costed several millions!” Cheng Meiyang looked at Cheng Yu.
“Haha! I am currently doing some businesses. This amount is nothing to me.”
“Don’t think I don’t know, the deal is currently still in the initial stage. Will there even be money given to you?”
“It’s really the money from deal! I discussed with Yang Ruoxue for another deal. It’s regarding the Longevity Pill. From that, I took some cash from her.” Cheng Yu did not wish to tell her about how he had destroyed one of the gangs and taken over their properties.
“Is it really like this? All you did was signing the contract. She was willing to give you so much money?”
“Of course! It’s not like you don’t know the effect of the Longevity Pill. Just this contract alone, and I would not be able to calculate how much I would be able to profit in the future. If I were to take this and find other companies, it would definitely be more that this amount.”
When she heard what Cheng Yu said, Cheng Meiyan no longer continued. After all, the Longevity Pill was truly mysterious. Such miraculous pills would definitely be snatched no matter where it was. “Since it’s like that, I will not say much. I am just worried that just because of money, you would do something bad. Oh yes, since you were alone at home, you didn’t have dinner yet, right? I have prepared food in the kitchen. You can go and eat it!”
“It’s ok. I still need to go out. When the time comes, I will eat it.”
“It’s late at night. You are not staying at home, but still going out?”
“I am going out to handle some matters. All of you can rest first.” After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he walked out of the house.

"value": "Chapter 49\nChapter 49: Xiao Chen, Are You Hurt!\nZhang Peng shot out of the workers’ passageway like a bullet, as blind as one too. The layout of the Haunted House was complicated, and combined with the lack of lighting, several minutes later, he soon realized with a sinking heart that he was lost.\n“Why are you stopping? Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you; I just want to do a small experiment on you.” With both of his hands on the iron hammer, Chen Ge trailed behind Zhang Peng, slowly leading his prey into a dead-end.\n“Not going to harm me? The moment we met, you cracked my arm! That is what you called not going to harm me‽” Zhang Peng had lost his only weapon; his left arm was bleeding; his right arm was limp, hanging off his shoulder like a noodle. In that moment, he felt wronged, and the thought to call the police for help appeared in his mind.\n“Listen to my advice—stop struggling and follow my orders, or you might need a wheelchair for the rest of your life.” Chen Ge took deliberate steps toward Zhang Peng. He had no pity for the man; after all, Zhang Peng was there to kill him. If he had not discovered that sooner, he would have been dead already.\n“Boss, does that sound like what a victim would say? I must have been jinxed!” Zhang Peng was completely defenseless, so he ran down whatever open path he could find.\n“That pair of legs sure know how to run…” Chen Ge continued to chase after Zhang Peng. However, several steps later, a sawing noise appeared in Chen Ge’s ears again as a black shadow shot out from the workers’ passageway!\nThe mirror monster must have understood what was really happening by then; it knew this was the perfect opportunity. Zhang Peng raced blindly around the first floor. When he turned a corner, he saw a figure of a man waving at him from the corner of his eyes. Perhaps he was too scared by Chen Ge because he ran toward that person without a second thought.\nChen Ge, who followed behind Zhang Peng, saw this, and a chill ran down his spine. The figure was around the same build as He Feng; it was the mirror monster!\n“I want you to live, but you insist on dying; that’s a real ghost!” Chen Ge’s warning fell on deaf ears. Zhang Peng had reached the end of the corridor, and with the guidance of the figure, he wandered into the bathroom.\nThe mirrors in the first-floor bathroom are in pristine condition. Since it’s leading Zhang Peng toward the bathroom, the monster is going to make its move soon!\nChen Ge was feeling nervous since the crucial moment had arrived. He dashed to the bathroom and worked with the doorknob. It was then that he realized the door was locked.\nThe development had strayed from his plan. The sudden appearance of the black shadow had ruined everything. It had managed to capture Zhang Peng before Chen Ge could detain the man.\nAhhh! ”\nSeveral seconds later, an ear-splitting scream came out from behind the bathroom door. Then it was followed by the sound of stuff falling and crashing. Zhang Peng seemed to have stumbled across something really scary.\n“What’s going on in there?” Chen Ge raised the hammer to crack down on the doorknob. The doorknob fell off, but the door still would not budge. Someone had used the cupboard to block the door from behind it. Unable to know what was happening inside the bathroom, Chen Ge was anxious as he swung the hammer repeatedly at the wooden door.\nBang! Bang! Bang!\nThe loud noises could be heard even outside the Haunted House. Chen Ge had depleted most of his energy before he managed to break the hollow wooden door. The cupboard behind it had started to budge to reveal an opening that was about half a palm wide.\nLooking through the opening, Chen Ge saw the black cloth that covered the mirror had fallen to the floor. Zhang Peng was staring at the mirror with his eyes unfocused, but the scariest thing was… there was a large black shadow standing between him and the mirror!\nThe black shadow was slowly morphing until it became almost like Zhang Peng. It took one step back to allow half of its body to melt into the mirror, and then the weirdest thing happened.\nThe dazed Zhang Peng walked toward the mirror. He pressed his face against the surface of the mirror. His body and the black shadow were slowly merging. About four seconds later, a creepy grin appeared on Zhang Peng’s blank face!\nHe slowly turned around and made sure to hold Chen Ge’s gaze through the door and the cupboard. He swiped some fresh blood off his arm and wrote down something on the surface of the mirror.\nAnother one or two seconds later, spirit seemed to return to Zhang Peng’s eyes. He shuddered visibly before jumping out the bathroom window and out of the Haunted House.\nThe mirror monster has escaped into Zhang Peng’s body? But does that thing have such a deep resentment toward me? Could it be because I’ve ruined its plan multiple times?\nThe mirror monster had assaulted both He San and He Feng. Both times, it had been interrupted due to an external influence; that was probably why the monster harbored resentment toward the owner of the Haunted House, Chen Ge.\nThe door to the bathroom was still blocked, and it would stay blocked for a quite some time. Chen Ge quickly rushed to the front door, but before he could get anywhere, he could hear Inspector Lee’s voice calling.\n“Chen Ge! Hang in there! We’re coming to get you!” Following a loud bang, the Haunted House’s gate was pried off its hinges, and several officers streamed into the building. Seeing this, Chen Ge immediately tossed the iron hammer to the side and removed his outfit and mask.\nThe sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Inspector Lee was the first one to burst through the darkness. Seeing Chen Ge standing all alone in the corridor, he asked with concern, “Xiao Chen, are you hurt?”\nChen Ge played into the skit as he staggered a step back and leaned ‘weakly’ against the wall. He had his hand on his chest as he said, “I was shocked, but I wasn’t hurt. Leave me be, go chase after Zhang Peng! I saw him jump out of the Haunted House’s bathroom window!”\n“Okay, leave the rest to us. Thank you for your help tonight!”\n“Don’t mention it. To be able to help the law enforcement is my honor, what is a little risk or sacrifice?”\n“But you’d better not act so rashly anymore in the future—just look at how dangerous it was tonight!” Inspector Lee’s eyes were aglow with admiration and approval. He had his men chase after Zhang Peng while he stayed behind with Chen Ge inside the Haunted House to examine the crime scene.\nHe wandered into the staff breakroom first. When he saw the blood on the bed, he turned to Chen Ge with worry. “Xiao Chen, you’re injured? Let me see!”\n“That isn’t mine…” Chen Ge also didn’t how to explain it. “At the time, the room was dark. The suspect probably accidentally hurt himself.”\nInspector Lee nodded. He used his flashlight to examine the knife marks on the bed frame and bedsheet, and his expression darkened. “You’re not wrong. A man who is not familiar with knife work would accidentally slash himself in extreme stressful situations.”\nHe counted the visible marks and concluded, “17 slashes in total! This is more than enough to pin him with attempted murder; this is the best proof!”\nLooking at the knife marks, Chen Ge also felt a chill run up his arms.\nInspector Lee pulled on his gloves and signaled for Chen Ge to vacate the room. “Remember to not touch anything in this room. Later, people will come to take pictures to keep as evidence.”\nChen Ge retreated out of the room and returned to where he had been earlier to hide the iron mallet before walking to the first-floor bathroom. He stood before the ruined door and wondered to himself, If I’m not mistaken, Zhang Peng wrote something on the mirror, right?"

第49章
小陈，你没有受伤吧！
张鹏狂奔出员工通道，他像个没头苍蝇般乱撞，鬼屋里地形复杂，加上又没有开灯，跑出几米远后，他很悲催的发现，自己找不到来时的路了。
“怎么不跑了？ 你别害怕，我不会伤害你的，只是想用你来做个小小的试验。” 双手握着铁锤，陈歌好像幽灵般紧跟在张鹏身后，把他往死角里驱赶。
这叫不会伤害我！” 张鹏刀子也扔了，左臂流着血，右臂完全失去知觉，好像面条般挂在肩膀上，某一瞬间，他心里竟然觉得十分委屈，甚至萌发了主动报警、投案自首的冲动。
“别挣扎了，我劝你还是乖乖听话，按照我说的去做，要不然你下半辈子可能就会在轮椅上度过了。”
陈歌慢慢靠近，心里没有任何同情，张鹏是来杀他的，如果不是他提前发现，此时他已经遇害。 “大哥，你这像是受害者应该说的话吗？
“跑的倒挺快。” 陈歌继续追赶，走出几步后，耳边忽然又响起了那种诡异的切割声，一道黑影从员工通道里窜出！
张鹏慌不择路，在鬼屋一楼狂奔，他路过一个转角时隐约看见旁边有人在冲他招手。 可能是陈歌带给他的压力实在太大，他没怎么犹豫，就朝那人所在的地方跑去。
陈歌跟在后面也看到了这一幕，他心中泛起寒意，那道黑影身高体型与贺峰一致，正是镜中怪物！
没等陈歌开口，张鹏已经和黑影跑到了走廊尽头，他在黑影的指引下藏进了卫生间里。
“一楼卫生间的镜子完好无损，镜中怪物把他引到那里，很显然是要动手了！”
真到了这关键的时候，陈歌也紧张了起来，他冲到卫生间，晃动门锁，发现房门被锁死。
事情的发展渐渐偏离了他的计划，黑影突然出现，在他还没有控制住张鹏的时候，就将张鹏带走。
“啊！”
只过了几秒钟，卫生间里就传出一声凄厉的惨叫，有东西被推倒、砸碎，张鹏似乎是遇到了什么极为恐怖的事情。
“里面发生了什么？” 陈歌扬起铁锤砸在门锁上，锁头被砸掉，但是房门依旧无法打开，门后面被人用存放杂物的柜子顶住。 看不到卫生间里面的场景，陈歌略有急躁，他用铁锤不断砸向木门。
“砰！ 砰！
巨大的响动在鬼屋外面都能听到，陈歌用尽全力，中空的木门被砸穿，后面的杂物柜也开始晃动，露出了半掌宽的间隙。
顺着空隙向内看去，蒙住卫生间镜子的黑布掉落在地，张鹏双眼迷茫的盯着镜面，更恐怖的是，在他和镜子中间还站着一个高大的黑影！
那身影正在慢慢发生变化，最终体型变得和张鹏一样，它向后退了一步，让自己的一半身体融入镜子当中，接着最奇怪的事情发生了。
目光呆滞的张鹏主动朝镜子走去，他的脸紧紧贴在了镜面上，此时他的身体和黑影一半的身体融合在了一起。
他慢慢转身，隔着房门和杂物柜看向陈歌，伸手沾着胳膊上的鲜血，在镜面上写下了什么东西。
又过了一两秒钟，张鹏的眼神才恢复正常，他打了个寒颤，二话不说翻过卫生间的窗户就朝鬼屋外面跑去。
“镜中的怪物已经跑到了张鹏身体里？ 这家伙为什么会对我有那么大的仇怨？
镜中怪物先后袭击过鹤山和贺峰，但都因为外界干扰而失败，或许那怪物就是因为这点才记恨上了鬼屋的主人陈歌。
卫生间房门被卡死，短时间内砸不开，陈歌急忙绕到正门，可他还没走出去，就听到外面传来了李队的声音。
随着砰一声巨响，鬼屋防护栏被撬开，几名警察鱼贯而入。 一看到这阵势，陈歌立刻把手里的铁锤扔到角落，取下面具和外套。
走廊上响起了脚步声，李队第一个冲了进来，他看到陈歌呆立在走廊中，赶紧跑了过来：“小陈，你有没有受伤？”
陈歌顺势往后退了一步，“虚弱”的靠在墙壁上，手轻轻拍了拍胸口：“我受到了一些惊吓，不过没有大碍。 你们不用管我，快去追张鹏！
“剩下的交给我们吧，今夜你辛苦了。”
“以后你还是不要这么冲动了，今夜多危险啊！”
李队眼中满是欣赏，他安排其他人去追捕张鹏，自己陪着陈歌呆在鬼屋里，开始检查现场。
他先进入员工休息室，看到床单上的鲜血后，立刻紧张了起来：“小陈，你受伤了？ 让我看看！”
“那血不是我的……”陈歌也不知道该怎么解释：“当时屋里很黑，犯罪嫌疑人好像把自己给割伤了。”
李队点了下头，他举起手电，看着床单和被子上狰狞的刀痕，目光凝重：“一个不擅长用刀的人，只有在极度癫狂的状态下，才有可能把自己割伤。”
已经可以被判处杀人未遂了，这就是证据！”
盯着床单上的刀痕，陈歌也产生了一丝后怕。
李队戴上了手套，示意陈歌先出去：“这个屋子里的所有东西，你都别乱动，过会有人要过来拍照取证。”
“好的，我一定配合。” 陈歌退出房间，他悄悄返回，先把锤子藏了起来，然后停在了卫生间门口：“刚才张鹏好像在镜子上写了什么？”

Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Xiao Chen, Are You Hurt!
Zhang Peng shot out of the workers’ passageway like a bullet, as blind as one too. The layout of the Haunted House was complicated, and combined with the lack of lighting, several minutes later, he soon realized with a sinking heart that he was lost.
“Why are you stopping? Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you; I just want to do a small experiment on you.” With both of his hands on the iron hammer, Chen Ge trailed behind Zhang Peng, slowly leading his prey into a dead-end.
“Not going to harm me? The moment we met, you cracked my arm! That is what you called not going to harm me‽” Zhang Peng had lost his only weapon; his left arm was bleeding; his right arm was limp, hanging off his shoulder like a noodle. In that moment, he felt wronged, and the thought to call the police for help appeared in his mind.
“Listen to my advice—stop struggling and follow my orders, or you might need a wheelchair for the rest of your life.” Chen Ge took deliberate steps toward Zhang Peng. He had no pity for the man; after all, Zhang Peng was there to kill him. If he had not discovered that sooner, he would have been dead already.
“Boss, does that sound like what a victim would say? I must have been jinxed!” Zhang Peng was completely defenseless, so he ran down whatever open path he could find.
“That pair of legs sure know how to run…” Chen Ge continued to chase after Zhang Peng. However, several steps later, a sawing noise appeared in Chen Ge’s ears again as a black shadow shot out from the workers’ passageway!
The mirror monster must have understood what was really happening by then; it knew this was the perfect opportunity. Zhang Peng raced blindly around the first floor. When he turned a corner, he saw a figure of a man waving at him from the corner of his eyes. Perhaps he was too scared by Chen Ge because he ran toward that person without a second thought.
Chen Ge, who followed behind Zhang Peng, saw this, and a chill ran down his spine. The figure was around the same build as He Feng; it was the mirror monster!
“I want you to live, but you insist on dying; that’s a real ghost!” Chen Ge’s warning fell on deaf ears. Zhang Peng had reached the end of the corridor, and with the guidance of the figure, he wandered into the bathroom.
The mirrors in the first-floor bathroom are in pristine condition. Since it’s leading Zhang Peng toward the bathroom, the monster is going to make its move soon!
Chen Ge was feeling nervous since the crucial moment had arrived. He dashed to the bathroom and worked with the doorknob. It was then that he realized the door was locked.
The development had strayed from his plan. The sudden appearance of the black shadow had ruined everything. It had managed to capture Zhang Peng before Chen Ge could detain the man.
Ahhh! ”
Several seconds later, an ear-splitting scream came out from behind the bathroom door. Then it was followed by the sound of stuff falling and crashing. Zhang Peng seemed to have stumbled across something really scary.
“What’s going on in there?” Chen Ge raised the hammer to crack down on the doorknob. The doorknob fell off, but the door still would not budge. Someone had used the cupboard to block the door from behind it. Unable to know what was happening inside the bathroom, Chen Ge was anxious as he swung the hammer repeatedly at the wooden door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The loud noises could be heard even outside the Haunted House. Chen Ge had depleted most of his energy before he managed to break the hollow wooden door. The cupboard behind it had started to budge to reveal an opening that was about half a palm wide.
Looking through the opening, Chen Ge saw the black cloth that covered the mirror had fallen to the floor. Zhang Peng was staring at the mirror with his eyes unfocused, but the scariest thing was… there was a large black shadow standing between him and the mirror!
The black shadow was slowly morphing until it became almost like Zhang Peng. It took one step back to allow half of its body to melt into the mirror, and then the weirdest thing happened.
The dazed Zhang Peng walked toward the mirror. He pressed his face against the surface of the mirror. His body and the black shadow were slowly merging. About four seconds later, a creepy grin appeared on Zhang Peng’s blank face!
He slowly turned around and made sure to hold Chen Ge’s gaze through the door and the cupboard. He swiped some fresh blood off his arm and wrote down something on the surface of the mirror.
Another one or two seconds later, spirit seemed to return to Zhang Peng’s eyes. He shuddered visibly before jumping out the bathroom window and out of the Haunted House.
The mirror monster has escaped into Zhang Peng’s body? But does that thing have such a deep resentment toward me? Could it be because I’ve ruined its plan multiple times?
The mirror monster had assaulted both He San and He Feng. Both times, it had been interrupted due to an external influence; that was probably why the monster harbored resentment toward the owner of the Haunted House, Chen Ge.
The door to the bathroom was still blocked, and it would stay blocked for a quite some time. Chen Ge quickly rushed to the front door, but before he could get anywhere, he could hear Inspector Lee’s voice calling.
“Chen Ge! Hang in there! We’re coming to get you!” Following a loud bang, the Haunted House’s gate was pried off its hinges, and several officers streamed into the building. Seeing this, Chen Ge immediately tossed the iron hammer to the side and removed his outfit and mask.
The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Inspector Lee was the first one to burst through the darkness. Seeing Chen Ge standing all alone in the corridor, he asked with concern, “Xiao Chen, are you hurt?”
Chen Ge played into the skit as he staggered a step back and leaned ‘weakly’ against the wall. He had his hand on his chest as he said, “I was shocked, but I wasn’t hurt. Leave me be, go chase after Zhang Peng! I saw him jump out of the Haunted House’s bathroom window!”
“Okay, leave the rest to us. Thank you for your help tonight!”
“Don’t mention it. To be able to help the law enforcement is my honor, what is a little risk or sacrifice?”
“But you’d better not act so rashly anymore in the future—just look at how dangerous it was tonight!” Inspector Lee’s eyes were aglow with admiration and approval. He had his men chase after Zhang Peng while he stayed behind with Chen Ge inside the Haunted House to examine the crime scene.
He wandered into the staff breakroom first. When he saw the blood on the bed, he turned to Chen Ge with worry. “Xiao Chen, you’re injured? Let me see!”
“That isn’t mine…” Chen Ge also didn’t how to explain it. “At the time, the room was dark. The suspect probably accidentally hurt himself.”
Inspector Lee nodded. He used his flashlight to examine the knife marks on the bed frame and bedsheet, and his expression darkened. “You’re not wrong. A man who is not familiar with knife work would accidentally slash himself in extreme stressful situations.”
He counted the visible marks and concluded, “17 slashes in total! This is more than enough to pin him with attempted murder; this is the best proof!”
Looking at the knife marks, Chen Ge also felt a chill run up his arms.
Inspector Lee pulled on his gloves and signaled for Chen Ge to vacate the room. “Remember to not touch anything in this room. Later, people will come to take pictures to keep as evidence.”
Chen Ge retreated out of the room and returned to where he had been earlier to hide the iron mallet before walking to the first-floor bathroom. He stood before the ruined door and wondered to himself, If I’m not mistaken, Zhang Peng wrote something on the mirror, right?

"value": "Chapter 1638 - The Seal Appears\nChapter 1638 - The Seal Appears When Wang Lin’s right hand landed, his powerful divine sense rushed into the old man’s head like a flood. His divine sense silently howled as it rushed into the old man’s divine sense and body.\nPopping sounds came from the old man’s body and his expression became distorted as if he was suffering unimaginable pain. He began bleeding from his orifices and his body trembled violently.\nAfter a moment of intense pain, the Stop spell on the old man dissipated slightly. The old man let out a miserable scream.\nHe wanted to break free from Wang Lin, but no matter how much he struggled, Wang Lin’s right hand was as stable as a mountain and clutched the old man’s head. He had no chance to escape at all.\nThe miserable roar caused the old man’s body to become covered in sweat. Despair appeared in his eyes and his face was deathly pale.\n“You have committed the crime of killing a celestial, you will die!! I’m Lord Sovereign’s Soldier Celestial, I have the blood of a celestial. You kill me today, he will deliver retribution on you!!”\n“That’s a load of crap!” Wang Lin’s expression was calm and his right hand tightened, his divine sense rushing into the old man’s mind. Wang Lin wanted to take his memories.\nDeep within the Ancient Celestial Realm, at the center of all these statues, there were four huge statues of the three ancient clans.\nThe surroundings were completely silent, as if it was always like this since ancient times. At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed from one of the statues.\n“Vermillion Bird, your descendant’s cultivation is not weak, but it’s a bit arrogant to want to search the memory of a Soldier Celestial. Although they aren’t as powerful as us, they still have the celestial bloodline. How could a mere ant search their memory?” A voice filled with mockery echoed.\n“He has entered the third step and broken the divine retribution to get here. He even shattered the ninth sun and taken his own fate back. This feat is incredible, and he did it. White Tiger, you mock him, but if you were the lower realm cultivator, could you do this…” A cold and ancient voice came from another statue.\n“If it was me, it doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it! Us celestials have seals on our memory placed by the Celestial Sovereign. It is a great fortune that the core of my Seven Dao Sect can enjoy. I’m not surprised that this little ant can seriously injure a recovering Soldier Celestial, but I’m confident he will find his own death if he tries to break open the Celestial Sovereign’s seal!”\n“Enough, why are you guys quarreling? Vermillion Bird, your descend is indeed a bit too arrogant. What if he dies to the Celestial Sovereign’s seal? Will that have an impact on your plan?” Another voice came from the third statue.\nAfter pondering for a bit, the Vermillion Bird’s voice echoed. “He was originally not part of my plan. I’m a bit surprised he is the first one to come here…”\n“This child is not ordinary; he is the first heaven-defying cultivator to reach the third step. Unfortunately, he is a lower realm cultivator. If he was from the Immortal Astral Continent, he would be famous! However, he should not try to soul search that Soldier Celestial. The seal from the Celestial Sovereign is something not even we can break if we join forces. I fear he would die in less than 15 minutes… Unfortunate, it is a pity…” A fourth voice filled with regret came from the last statue.\nTheir voices gradually dissipated and silence returned. Even the Vermillion Bird let out a sigh in his heart. He knew Wang Lin, but he didn’t think Wang Lin could break the Celestial Sovereign’s seal.\nThe old man’s divine sense had already formed its own realm, and there was a thick layer of fog around it that prevented Wang Lin’s divine sense from entering.\nThis wasn’t the first time Wang Lin had encountered this situation. When he had searched the woman in silver’s memory, he encountered the same thing. The seven-colored figure had appeared in her sealed memory.\nToday, Wang Lin found this thick fog once more in this old man’s divine sense. He paused for a moment, and his divine sense began to gather outside the fog. Soon, Wang Lin’s figure appeared outside the fog.\nThis was a bizarre scene. Outside in the Ancient Celestial Realm, Wang Lin had his eyes closed and his right hand was pressed down on the trembling old man’s forehead.\nHowever, inside Wang Lin’s divine sense, his origin soul was inside the old man’s mind. He looked just like how he did on the outside. Wang Lin’s origin soul wore a white robe and had white hair.\nHe stood there, looking at the churning fog before him. This fog contained an powerful pressure that was like a seal. This seal could stop all soul searching spells.\n“The woman in silver has a seal like this, and this old man has this seal as well. Interesting, it seems every celestial under the Celestial Sovereign has this seal.”\nWang Lin’s eyes lit up and gradually shined brightly. Back then, his cultivation was lacking and had to give up outside the fog. Aside from his cultivation level, there was another reason. It didn’t matter if he was successful in breaking the fog or not, but it would cause the woman in silver a great deal of harm.\nHowever, Wang Lin wouldn’t feel even a hint of guilt toward the old man. There was no hatred between them, and the old man’s sins didn’t warrant death. If Wang Lin hadn’t found out that the Inner and Outer Realms were just a cave, Wang Lin wouldn’t kill him!\nHowever, now Wang Lin had understood everything. There was a difficult-to-explain hatred that Wang Lin felt toward the Celestial Sovereign and all the celestials under him!\nIn particular, the disappearance of Li Muwan’s fate caused this hatred to reach a peak.\nWith a cold snort, Wang Lin stepped toward the fog inside the old man’s mind. His figure moved like a meteor and closed in on the fog. He waved his right hand and a storm shot toward the fog.\nThe storm pushed the fog apart and, in the blink of an eye, an opening appeared before Wang Lin. The moment the opening appeared, Wang Lin stepped forward and disappeared inside the fog.\nInside the fog, Wang Lin quickly moved forward, and the fog before him moved apart on its own, forming a passage. Wang Lin gradually entered the depths of the fog.\nJust as he entered the depths of the fog, seven-colored light appeared in the fog before him. The seven-colored light was extremely glaring in the dark fog, and Wang Lin couldn’t help but squint.\nAs Wang Lin looked over, he saw a middle-aged man kneeing in the depths of the fog that was being penetrated by the seven-colored light.\nThe middle-aged man had his eyes closed and his body was surrounded by seven-colored light. He gave off a monstrous pressure that would make all living beings tremble before him and prevent them from taking half a step.\nThis seven-colored man was not the seven-colored person he met in the Seven-Colored Realm in the Brilliant Void but the real body of the seven-colored statue in his storage space!\nThis was the second time Wang Lin had seen this person. He pondered a bit and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes as he stepped forward without hesitation. His right hand formed a seal and the inside of the old man’s mind rumbled. A huge palmprint appeared before Wang Lin and penetrated the fog, flying toward the middle-aged man.\nThis man was a seal, a seal that prevented anyone from searching the memory of the celestials under him!\nThe large palmprint instantly closed in on the kneeling middle-aged man and penetrated him. However, the moment the palmprint penetrated the middle-aged man, it silently collapsed. This scene was extremely bizarre. If you looked closely, you would see that the palmprint didn’t even hit the middle-aged man but collapsed three inches away from him.\nWang Lin’s eyes narrowed. The moment the palmprint collapsed, he pointed forward. A blast of air shot out from Wang Lin’s finger toward the middle-aged man. This time, Wang Lin looked carefully and he saw the blast silently disappear three inches before the middle-aged man.\nWang Lin stared at the middle-aged man and stepped forward. He personally arrived before the middle-aged man and his two fingers formed a sword. His ancient god stars rotated and large amounts of ancient god power entered his two fingers. Right now, his two fingers contained enough power to shatter the earth or even destroy a cultivation planet.\nHis two fingers gave off a thunderous rumble as they closed in on the middle-aged man. In a flash, his fingers was three inches away.\nWhen Wang Lin entered the three-inch barrier, his eyes shined and he saw his fingers rapidly collapse. There was no pain, but he could clearly see his fingers disintegrate.\nIn just an instant, a small portion of his two fingers had disintegrated. That three-inch area was like a boundary, and anything that passed it would be disintegrated.\nIf he had tried to reach in by force, his right hand would have disappeared without a trace before even touching the middle-aged man. Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed and he pulled back his right hand.\nHe retreated a few steps and calmly looked at the middle-aged man. Then he looked at his two fingers that didn’t have any wounds but were missing a portion.\n“What a strange power…” Wang Lin murmured as his ancient god power filled his body and entered his fingers. The flesh around his fingers slowly moved and re-grew a section.\nAfter pondering a bit, Wang Lin hesitated. With the seal from the middle-aged man there, obtaining the memories of the old man would be difficult but not impossible."

第1638章
王林右手落下，以其磅礴的修为凝聚神识如洪水一般直接轰入这干瘦老者的天灵之内，化作一股无声的呼啸，卷动老者体内神识以及一切血肉骨髂。
这老者的身体顿时就有砰砰之声传出，其神色扭曲，似承受了无法想象的痛苦，更是在这痛苦中这老者七窍流血，身子在定身术下剧牙H的富页抖。
仅仅是片刻，在这剧痛中老者身上的定神术便略有消散，使得这老者的痛苦，化作了一声声凄厉的惨叫。
他想要挣脱出王林的掌控，但任凭他如何挣扎，王林的右手坚硬如山，死死的扣住老者天灵，使得他根本就没有半点机会逃走。
那声声惨烈的嘶吼，使得老者全身汗如雨下，双眼露出绝望之色，整个人面部一片惨白。
！ 我是仙尊大人麾下士仙，我有仙人血脉，你今日杀我，他日定会有劫！ ！”
“废话不少！” 王林神色平静，右手狠狠地一扣，神识再次磅礴的冲人老者体内，凝聚在其识海中，想要获取其全部记忆。
就在王林神识进入这干瘦老者记忆内的同时，在这远古仙域深处，在大地弥漫的诸多雕像的中心位置，有四座巨大的齐天古之三族雕像耸立。
四周一片安静，仿佛恒古以来这里就是如此，此刻，一个沙哑的声音从其中一个雕像内回荡而出。
“朱雀，你这后裔修为倒也不弱，只是未免太自不量力，居然想要去搜索士仙的记忆！ 士仙尽管不如我等，但其具备仙人血脉，岂能是这小小蝼蚁后裔可以搜索！”
“他渡第三步天劫而来，更是从天劫第九太阳内抽出了自己的命运，这种个事情也是不可思议，但他做到了，白虎你如此嘲讽，若是换做是你，你身为下界之修，可能做到这一点么……”一声冷哼中，从另一座雕像内，传出了沧桑的声音。
“换做是我，也未必不能做到！ 我等仙人记忆有仙尊封印，这是我七道宗核心门人才可享有自勺造化，这小小蝼蚁能杀重伤恢复中的士仙我不意外，但我断定，他要是去尝试破开仙尊的封印，他是在自寻死路！
“那之前嘲讽的声音冷笑起来。 “好了，何必因此人争吵，朱雀，你这后裔也的确是自不量力了一些，若是他死在了仙尊封印之下，对你的计划是否会有影响？”
“他本就不是我计划中之人，对于他能第一个来到这里，我也有些意外……”沉默许久，朱雀的声音幽幽而起。
“此子不凡，他是我这一生见过第一个逆修第三步者，可惜，他是下界蝼修，若是他在我仙罡大陆，此子定会成名！
四人的声音渐渐消散，重新归于平静，就算是那朱雀，也在心中暗叹，他认识王林，他知道对方，但他同样不认为，王林能破开仙尊封印。
在那干瘦老者的识海内，其神识已然自成一界，在外围被严密的封锁，形成了一片浓浓的雾气，阻止王林的神识探入。
这种情况，王林并非第一次遇到，他当年搜索银衣女子记忆时也曾遇到一样的事情，在那银衣女子识海内，封死记忆的雾气中曾出现过那七彩雕像之人。
今日在这干瘦老者的识海内，王林再一次看到了那浓厚的雾气，他神识略有一顿，立刻凝聚在一起，在那干瘦老者识海的雾气外，随着其神识的凝聚，王林的身影幻化而出。
这一幕，很是诡异，在外界远古仙域苍茫的天地内，王林闭着双眼，右手按在那不断颤抖挣扎惨叫的干瘦老者天灵。
可在内部，王林的神识凝聚化作元神，出现在了老者的识海雾气外，与其肉身相貌一样，王林的元神同样穿着一身白衣，拥有一头白发。
他站在那里，望着眼前那片翻滚的雾气，这雾气内蕴含了一股说不清的威压，仿佛是一道封印，有这封印在此，可阻止一切搜魂之术。
“银衣女子有这样的封印，这干瘦老者也有这样的封印，有意思，看来凡是属于那仙尊的手下之仙，全部都是如此。”
王林目光一闪，眼中渐渐亮起精芒，他当年修为不足，在那银衣女子神识外退步放弃，除了修为的原因外，还有一个原因，他若是强行去破开，不管成不威，都会对那银衣女子造威极大的伤害。
但眼下这干瘦老者，则不会让王林有半点愧疚之心，这老者尽管与他并无仇恨，但却罪不致死，若是遇到了没有知晓这一切界内界外只是一座洞府的王林，王林不会杀他。
可眼下，王林已然明白了一切，对于这洞府仙尊以及其麾下的所有仙人，王林的心中有一股难以说出的恨！
尤其是李慕婉的命运气息失踪，更是让王林的恨，达到了巅峰。
冷哼中，在干瘦老者的识海内，王林向着那雾气一步走去，其身影如流星，在惊天的轰鸣之下瞬间临近，右手抬起在前猛地一挥，却见狂风凭空出现，化作风暴轰轰而起，直奔那雾气。
卷动着雾气，向着四周疯狂的破开，转眼之下，就在王林的身前那雾气内卷出了一道缺口。 在这缺口形成的一瞬间，王林一步迈入其内，身影消失在了雾气中。
在那雾气中，王林急速前行，一路所过雾气在其面前自行分开，仿佛形成了一条通道，随着王林的前行，他渐渐进入这雾气深处。
就在其踏入这雾气深处的一刹那，突然之间，在前方的雾气内，直接就有七彩之芒骤然闪烁而出，那七彩之芒在这漆黑的雾气内极为扎眼，形成刺目之芒，让王林双限不由得眯起。
随着他的目光看去，只见在这雾气深处，在一片稀薄的被七彩之芒穿透的雾气内，盘膝坐着一个中年男子。
这中年男子闭着双眼，盘膝中全身缭绕七彩之光，他坐在那里，便有一股滔天威压轰轰而出，使得万灵在其面前，心神颤抖，无法踏出半步。
这七彩男子，不是王林在召河七彩界所遇之人，而是他储物裂缝内，那七彩雕像的真身！
这是王林第二次看到对方，他沉默片刻，眼中露出寒光，身子向前不假思索一步走去，右手抬起掐诀之下，这干瘦老者的识海顿时翻滚轰轰，却见一个巨大的掌印，赫然就出现在了王林的身前，随着其一掌拍去，那掌印轰轰而起，直接穿透了雾气，直奔那盘膝的中年男子而去。
这男子，就是一道封印，一道阻止任何人搜寻其麾下仙人的封印！
巨大的掌印在那轰鸣下瞬间就临近了那盘膝的中年男子身前，轰然而过，从其身体内穿透，但却在穿透的一刹那，掌印无声无息崩溃，这一幕极为诡异，甚至若是仔细看，可以清楚的看到那掌印根本就没有完全碰到对方，而是在对方的身体三寸外，崩溃瓦解。
王林双目一凝，在那掌印崩溃的同时其右手抬起，一指前方，立刻便有一股气浪顺着王林手指而出，那气浪成漩，呼啸间临近，这一次王林看的很是仔细，他看到那气浪漩涡同样在这中年男子身体三寸外，无声崩溃。
王林盯着那中年男子，大袖一甩身子一步迈去，亲自来到近前，右手抬起，双指成剑之下眉心古神星点旋转，磅礴的吉神之力融入双指，使得此刻王林这双指，可以轰开大地，甚至足以轰碎一颗修真星。
带着这样的力量，他的双指在轰隆隆的巨响下，距离那中年男子越来越近，瞬息间就临近到了三寸。
在进入三寸界限的一刹，王林双眼露出精光，他看到自己的双指，正以一种无法想象的方式，急速的崩溃，这种崩溃，没有痛苦，但却可以清晰的看到其瓦解。
仅仅是瞬间，其深入三寸之地的双指便瓦解了小半，那三寸之地就如同是一道界限，一切力量来临都要消散一空。
若是强行深入，那么还没等碰到那中年男子，王林的右手，将会全部消散的无影无踪，王林双目一凝，右手猛地向外一拽。
退后几步，他神色平静，看了一眼那盘膝闭目的中年男子，又看了看没有任何伤口，但却失去了小半的双指。
“好诡异的力量……”王林喃喃，体内古神之力运转，融入双指，慢慢的其双指血肉蠕动，渐渐重新长出了一截。
沉吟中，王林犹豫了一下，有这中年男子身影所化的封印在，想要获得干瘦老者的记忆，很是艰难，但并非没有可能。

Chapter 1638 - The Seal Appears
Chapter 1638 - The Seal Appears When Wang Lin’s right hand landed, his powerful divine sense rushed into the old man’s head like a flood. His divine sense silently howled as it rushed into the old man’s divine sense and body.
Popping sounds came from the old man’s body and his expression became distorted as if he was suffering unimaginable pain. He began bleeding from his orifices and his body trembled violently.
After a moment of intense pain, the Stop spell on the old man dissipated slightly. The old man let out a miserable scream.
He wanted to break free from Wang Lin, but no matter how much he struggled, Wang Lin’s right hand was as stable as a mountain and clutched the old man’s head. He had no chance to escape at all.
The miserable roar caused the old man’s body to become covered in sweat. Despair appeared in his eyes and his face was deathly pale.
“You have committed the crime of killing a celestial, you will die!! I’m Lord Sovereign’s Soldier Celestial, I have the blood of a celestial. You kill me today, he will deliver retribution on you!!”
“That’s a load of crap!” Wang Lin’s expression was calm and his right hand tightened, his divine sense rushing into the old man’s mind. Wang Lin wanted to take his memories.
Deep within the Ancient Celestial Realm, at the center of all these statues, there were four huge statues of the three ancient clans.
The surroundings were completely silent, as if it was always like this since ancient times. At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed from one of the statues.
“Vermillion Bird, your descendant’s cultivation is not weak, but it’s a bit arrogant to want to search the memory of a Soldier Celestial. Although they aren’t as powerful as us, they still have the celestial bloodline. How could a mere ant search their memory?” A voice filled with mockery echoed.
“He has entered the third step and broken the divine retribution to get here. He even shattered the ninth sun and taken his own fate back. This feat is incredible, and he did it. White Tiger, you mock him, but if you were the lower realm cultivator, could you do this…” A cold and ancient voice came from another statue.
“If it was me, it doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it! Us celestials have seals on our memory placed by the Celestial Sovereign. It is a great fortune that the core of my Seven Dao Sect can enjoy. I’m not surprised that this little ant can seriously injure a recovering Soldier Celestial, but I’m confident he will find his own death if he tries to break open the Celestial Sovereign’s seal!”
“Enough, why are you guys quarreling? Vermillion Bird, your descend is indeed a bit too arrogant. What if he dies to the Celestial Sovereign’s seal? Will that have an impact on your plan?” Another voice came from the third statue.
After pondering for a bit, the Vermillion Bird’s voice echoed. “He was originally not part of my plan. I’m a bit surprised he is the first one to come here…”
“This child is not ordinary; he is the first heaven-defying cultivator to reach the third step. Unfortunately, he is a lower realm cultivator. If he was from the Immortal Astral Continent, he would be famous! However, he should not try to soul search that Soldier Celestial. The seal from the Celestial Sovereign is something not even we can break if we join forces. I fear he would die in less than 15 minutes… Unfortunate, it is a pity…” A fourth voice filled with regret came from the last statue.
Their voices gradually dissipated and silence returned. Even the Vermillion Bird let out a sigh in his heart. He knew Wang Lin, but he didn’t think Wang Lin could break the Celestial Sovereign’s seal.
The old man’s divine sense had already formed its own realm, and there was a thick layer of fog around it that prevented Wang Lin’s divine sense from entering.
This wasn’t the first time Wang Lin had encountered this situation. When he had searched the woman in silver’s memory, he encountered the same thing. The seven-colored figure had appeared in her sealed memory.
Today, Wang Lin found this thick fog once more in this old man’s divine sense. He paused for a moment, and his divine sense began to gather outside the fog. Soon, Wang Lin’s figure appeared outside the fog.
This was a bizarre scene. Outside in the Ancient Celestial Realm, Wang Lin had his eyes closed and his right hand was pressed down on the trembling old man’s forehead.
However, inside Wang Lin’s divine sense, his origin soul was inside the old man’s mind. He looked just like how he did on the outside. Wang Lin’s origin soul wore a white robe and had white hair.
He stood there, looking at the churning fog before him. This fog contained an powerful pressure that was like a seal. This seal could stop all soul searching spells.
“The woman in silver has a seal like this, and this old man has this seal as well. Interesting, it seems every celestial under the Celestial Sovereign has this seal.”
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and gradually shined brightly. Back then, his cultivation was lacking and had to give up outside the fog. Aside from his cultivation level, there was another reason. It didn’t matter if he was successful in breaking the fog or not, but it would cause the woman in silver a great deal of harm.
However, Wang Lin wouldn’t feel even a hint of guilt toward the old man. There was no hatred between them, and the old man’s sins didn’t warrant death. If Wang Lin hadn’t found out that the Inner and Outer Realms were just a cave, Wang Lin wouldn’t kill him!
However, now Wang Lin had understood everything. There was a difficult-to-explain hatred that Wang Lin felt toward the Celestial Sovereign and all the celestials under him!
In particular, the disappearance of Li Muwan’s fate caused this hatred to reach a peak.
With a cold snort, Wang Lin stepped toward the fog inside the old man’s mind. His figure moved like a meteor and closed in on the fog. He waved his right hand and a storm shot toward the fog.
The storm pushed the fog apart and, in the blink of an eye, an opening appeared before Wang Lin. The moment the opening appeared, Wang Lin stepped forward and disappeared inside the fog.
Inside the fog, Wang Lin quickly moved forward, and the fog before him moved apart on its own, forming a passage. Wang Lin gradually entered the depths of the fog.
Just as he entered the depths of the fog, seven-colored light appeared in the fog before him. The seven-colored light was extremely glaring in the dark fog, and Wang Lin couldn’t help but squint.
As Wang Lin looked over, he saw a middle-aged man kneeing in the depths of the fog that was being penetrated by the seven-colored light.
The middle-aged man had his eyes closed and his body was surrounded by seven-colored light. He gave off a monstrous pressure that would make all living beings tremble before him and prevent them from taking half a step.
This seven-colored man was not the seven-colored person he met in the Seven-Colored Realm in the Brilliant Void but the real body of the seven-colored statue in his storage space!
This was the second time Wang Lin had seen this person. He pondered a bit and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes as he stepped forward without hesitation. His right hand formed a seal and the inside of the old man’s mind rumbled. A huge palmprint appeared before Wang Lin and penetrated the fog, flying toward the middle-aged man.
This man was a seal, a seal that prevented anyone from searching the memory of the celestials under him!
The large palmprint instantly closed in on the kneeling middle-aged man and penetrated him. However, the moment the palmprint penetrated the middle-aged man, it silently collapsed. This scene was extremely bizarre. If you looked closely, you would see that the palmprint didn’t even hit the middle-aged man but collapsed three inches away from him.
Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. The moment the palmprint collapsed, he pointed forward. A blast of air shot out from Wang Lin’s finger toward the middle-aged man. This time, Wang Lin looked carefully and he saw the blast silently disappear three inches before the middle-aged man.
Wang Lin stared at the middle-aged man and stepped forward. He personally arrived before the middle-aged man and his two fingers formed a sword. His ancient god stars rotated and large amounts of ancient god power entered his two fingers. Right now, his two fingers contained enough power to shatter the earth or even destroy a cultivation planet.
His two fingers gave off a thunderous rumble as they closed in on the middle-aged man. In a flash, his fingers was three inches away.
When Wang Lin entered the three-inch barrier, his eyes shined and he saw his fingers rapidly collapse. There was no pain, but he could clearly see his fingers disintegrate.
In just an instant, a small portion of his two fingers had disintegrated. That three-inch area was like a boundary, and anything that passed it would be disintegrated.
If he had tried to reach in by force, his right hand would have disappeared without a trace before even touching the middle-aged man. Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed and he pulled back his right hand.
He retreated a few steps and calmly looked at the middle-aged man. Then he looked at his two fingers that didn’t have any wounds but were missing a portion.
“What a strange power…” Wang Lin murmured as his ancient god power filled his body and entered his fingers. The flesh around his fingers slowly moved and re-grew a section.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin hesitated. With the seal from the middle-aged man there, obtaining the memories of the old man would be difficult but not impossible.

"value": "Chapter 487: Eternal Life!\n“Shinian——” Li Muyang cried out.\nFor the sake of their safety, he begged the Lu family to send Li Shinian and his parents to Wind City before his duel with Mu Dingyi.\nIt was only then that he could face the battle with peace of mind.\nAt that time he was already prepared to die or to flee. If the difference in strength between them were too great, he would die. If there were a glimmer of hope, then he would flee.\nNo matter what way he ultimately chose, it would be extremely bad for his family, because they did not have the ability to protect themselves.\nWind City was the ancestral residence of the Lu family and was defended by the Lord of Wind City Lu Wuyong as well as hundreds of thousands of armoured soldiers. As long as there was internal stability, even if the imperial court dispatched the army it would be incredibly difficult to siege Wind City.\nWhen Li Muyang made this decision, he believed in the Lu Clan and believed in Wind City.\nEver since his parents and sister were sent away, his mind had been stable and he did not need to worry about their safety. In his subconscious mind, Wind city was invulnerable to attacks, can take the offensive or defensive as it chooses. Given that his parents were taken care of by the Lu clan then they should be safe.\nHowever, what Li Muyang did not think about was that this move was the same as sending the sheep into the mouth of the tiger——He had personally sent his parents and little sister to the tiger’s mouth.\nLu Wuyong had betrayed the Lu clan and Wind City had become extremely dangerous.\nHis little sister, Li Shinian, was imprisoned in a firewood room, chained, and clothes stained with blood. He did not know if she had suffered any serious injuries.\n“Lu Wuyong———” Recuperating on a boulder in the distance, Lu Qingming roared out violently at the sight of the scene in the light screen. His chest was heaving up and down, and once again spurted out blood.\nFor Lu Qingming, it was even more difficult to accept such a betrayal.\nHe and Lu Wuyong were from the same sect and ancestor, and belonged to the same Lu clan. At a very young age, Lu Wuyong was sent to the Lu residence in Tiandu to undergo important training. Lu Xingkong had spent a lot of time and energy on him, and polished him to become one of the core figures of the Lu family. Later, he was sent to West Wind University, and after the completion of a military post for two years, was sent to the military of Wind City to do paperwork. He was then step-by-step promoted to be the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the City Lord of Wind city.\nWind city was the root of the Lu clan, also the safe place that Lu Xingkong had carefully created. No matter how dangerous they were in Tiandu, no matter how they dealt with the enemy, as long as they escaped from Tiandu they would be able to protect the lives of their family.\nMoreover, Lu Qingming and Lu Wuyong grew up together, were as close as brothers. When Lu Qingming led troops in Wind City, Lu Wuyong was his left leg and right arm. The two fought shoulder-to-shoulder, advanced and retreated together, and treated each other with absolute sincerity.\nPreviously the two had often communicated through letters. He explained to Lu Qingming that the enemy was making unusual movements, so he had to stay stationed at the frontier in case the other side had plans to invade. Although Lu Qingming had doubts, he was quick to dispel those bad thoughts. He had been stationed military for years and knew that any slightest movement from the enemy forces would cause a series of chain reaction. It was incredibly important to not be careless in military affairs. Thus his behaviour was perfectly understandable. As a result, Lu Qingming also wrote back to tell him not to mind and that as long as he was loyal to the country.\nWhat he did not think was that Lu Wuyong had long sent secret messages to others to set up an inescapable net in Wind City, waiting for these people to plunge into it.\nIncessantly spitting out blood, Lu Qingming’s body was becoming weaker and weaker.\nHe was not even able to sit upright, teetering, struggling to persist, and seemed would collapse on the boulder at any time.\n“Lu Wuyong, I must kill you.” Lu Qingming hissed, mouth overflowing with blood.\n“What have you done to Shinian?” Li Muyang roared.\n“As you can see, Miss Shinian is now safe and sound. She is a guest in Wind City, and presumably your Lu family will take care of her. Don’t worry. However, if our deal fails, then the consequences are difficult to predict.”\nLi Muyang’s eyes reddened as he roared: “Song Gudu, you are a despicable person——you’re high and mighty, and people treat you like a God, but you’re a complete scum. With your cultivation level and status, you did something like that to a little girl——What else in the world will you not do?”\nSong Gudu calmly looked at Li Muyang who had entered into a crazy state. “At my age, there are already lot of things that I don’t care much about anymore. For example, whether or not Lu Wuyong wants to be used by me. If he wants it, I’ll accept it. If he doesn’t want to, I’ll find someone else to replace him. For example, now they have imprisoned your sister in a firewood room, no matter what their motives or purpose is, I have no thought of asking and no intention of finding the answer——I just need to know what the result is and that will be enough. Now what I’m showing you is the result, your answer. So, it’s your turn now. Li Muyang, what’s your answer?”\nLi Muyang tried hard to suppress the vicious tendencies in his heart, glowering at Song Gudu with blood-red eyes he fumed: “What kind of deal do you want to make with me?”\n“Trade your life for their lives.” Song Gudu stated.\n“What kind of exchange is that?”\n“To be used by me.” Song Gudu said.\nLi Muyang couldn’t help smiling a cold, mocking smile: “Although you do not have the title of an Emperor, you have more power than the Emperor. Now that the Lu clan had collapsed, the Song clan is the strongest and the rest are reduced to subordinates. Your wealth is equivalent to that of an entire country, and naturally do not have a shortage of money. You’ve tread past the starry sky, stepped into Astral projection realm, become the strongest in West Wind Kingdom——you want me to use for you? What can I do for you?”\n“If you were an ordinary person, naturally there is no way you can give me what I want. And also is not qualified to make any deals with me.” Song Gudu said in a low voice. His voice was quiet, also very gentle, but that tyrannical power still makes one palpitate. “But, Li Muyang, you are a dragon. In the great wide world, only you are qualified to make a deal with me.”\n“You want me to work for you? Kill For you?”\n“No, you don’t need to worry about those little things, countless people are fighting to do it for me.” Song Gudu said, shaking his head. “Cultivation is like climbing a mountain, breaking into the next realm is like seizing the moon. The older you get, the slower the pace of cultivation. The time you can set aside also gets less, and ordinary people will eventually be limited by one’s lifespan. It’s hard for anyone to break through, including myself.”\n“It took me 22 years to step into the Astral Projection Realm from the higher stage of the Starry sky realm, and it took me 51 years to progress from the Starry sky to the Astral projection. The world calls me the ‘Eye of the Starry Sky’, because I spend too much time and energy in the Starry sky, silently watching the starry sky for 51 years. Fifty years of time, what else would I not see clearly? The sky is so vast, what secrets does it have?”\n“However, even if I entered into the realm of Astral projection, I will eventually die of old age. What’s the significance of the lower stage of the Astral projection realm? Can it ensure eternal life?” Song Gudu’s voice contained endless loneliness and melancholy. There were still a lot of things he wanted to do, and a lot more powerful strength he wanted to pursue. However, there was a limit to human life. Even if he held the authority of a country, possessed an earth-shaking cultivation base, it was still difficult to reverse the fate of humankind.\nTherefore, Song Gudu wanted to make a deal with Li Muyang.\nA deal that can only be made with Li Muyang.\nLi Muyang stared wide-eyed at Song Gudu, a look of surprise across his face. “You want to live forever?”\n“Which cultivator doesn’t want immortality?” The corners of Song Gudu’s mouth were curved upwards in a smile. “Apart from this, what matter is worth me coming all the way here in person to make a deal with you?”\n“I can’t help you with this matter. Even I am going to be killed by you soon.” Li Muyang said with a sneer. He felt that the old man would stop at nothing for the sake of long life. Song Gudu had come to make a deal with him, but he was not a celestial being in charge of life and death, how could he grant him eternal life? If he really had that ability, he would have immediately crossed out his name from the book of life, send him onto the Asura path and never let him turn over.\n“You don’t need to refuse so soon.” Song Gudu reminded, pointing to Li Shinian in the light screen: “Every word you say determines her life and death.”\n“Hurling insult is the act of a coward. Besides that, what can you do?”\n“Nothing can be done.” Li Muyang gnashed his teeth in anger. It had to be said that every word of Song Gudu was full of demonic power, which makes one could not help but be influenced by his thinking, and words and actions be controlled by him. As he had put it, hurling insults had no significance.\nFor someone of his cultivation level, what had he not experienced before?\nHow would a few words of insults change his heart? How would he be irritated by it?\nIt did not even have the power to make him frown.\n“Since the mouth is idle anyway.” Li Muyang said in a loud voice.\n“As you wish.” Song Gudu was very generous, watching Li Muyang continue to talk about their deal, he seemed like a very sincere but also a very unqualified businessman. “You misunderstood what I mean. I don’t want to live forever, only immortals and celestial beings can truly live as long as the sun and the moon.”\n“I know that dragons live far beyond the human race, and that they have lived for hundreds and thousands of years. As long as I can have the life span of the Dragon, that will be enough for me——just give me a little more time, and I will eventually be able to find other ways.”\n“The lifespan of dragons is inborn.” Li Muyang stated. “How can I help you? Besides, even if I know the secret of the Dragon’s longevity, I would never———”\nCreak————\nIn the light screen, the door to the firewood room where Li Shinian was imprisoned was pushed open by someone.\nLi Muyang saw the son of the Lord of Wind city Lu Lin, who he had met in Tiandu, pushed open the door and appeared in front of Li Shinian.\nLi Muyang could not continue, staring nervously at the scene in the light screen.\nHe was afraid that Lu Lin would suddenly do something crazy, even more fear that he had received Song Gudu’s order to hurt Li Shinian——\n“Get him out of there immediately——” Li Muyang roared. “Get him out, I will talk to you about any deal.”"

第四百八十七章、永生不死！
“思念——————-”李牧羊惊声呼叫。
为了安全起见，他在和木鼎一决斗之前就央求陆家将李思念以及父母双亲都给送到了风城。
祸不及父母妹妹，只有那样他才能够安心应战。
那个时候他已经存了必死或者必逃的心思，实力相差悬殊，那就必死。 倘若有一线生机，那就必逃。
无论他最终选择哪一种方式，都对家人极其的不利。 因为他们没有自保能力。
风城是陆家祖宅，有风城之主陆勿用以及十万铁骑驻守，只要内部安稳，就算是朝廷出动大军去围剿也很难攻克。
当李牧羊做出那样的决定时，他是相信陆氏的，也是相信风城的。
自从将父母妹妹送走之后，他的内心是安定的，不曾为他们的安全担忧过。 在他的潜意识里，风城固若金汤，进可攻，退可守，父母双亲有陆氏族人照应，生命安全无忧。
可是，让李牧羊怎么也没有想到的是，此举竟然是羊入虎口——————-而且是他亲自将父母妹妹给送到了老虎的嘴边。
陆勿用叛变，风城变得极端危险。
他的妹妹李思念被人囚禁在柴房之中，手戴铁烤，衣衫染血，也不知道是否受过什么重伤。
“陆勿用——————-”坐在远处巨石之上休养生息的陆清明看到光幕之中的情景，暴喝出声。 的狂吐鲜血。
对陆清明而言，更是难以接受这样的背叛。
陆勿用和他是同宗同祖，同属陆氏宗族。 很小的时候，陆勿用就被送到天都陆府进行重点培养，陆行空在他身上耗费了不少的时间精力。
风城是陆氏之根，也是陆行空用心打造的安全之所。 不管他们在天都如何的凶险，如何的与敌周旋，只要逃至天都就能够保全一家老少的性命。
而且，陆清明和陆勿用一起长大，情同手足。 陆清明在风城领军时，陆勿用是他的左膀右臂，两人下马喝酒，上马杀敌。
他的行为是完全可以理解的。 为此，陆清明还特别写信去安慰，劝他不要在意，尽忠国事即好。
怎么也没有想到的是，他早就和那些人暗通款曲，坐守风城布下天罗地网，就等着他们这些人一头扎进去呢。
吐血不止，陆清明的身体越发的虚弱。
现在就连身体都已经坐不直了，摇摇欲坠，勉力坚持，随时都有可能从那巨石之上一头坠下去。
“陆勿用，我必杀你。” 陆清明嘴角溢血，嘶声吼道。
李牧羊沉声喝道。
“如你所见，思念小姐现在安然无恙。 她在风城做客，想必你们陆家人会对她特殊招供的。 不用担心。
不过，倘若我们的交易不成的话，后果可就难以预知了。” 李牧羊眼眶泛红，怒声嘶吼：“宋孤独，你这个衣冠禽兽——————你高高在上，人们供你如神明。 但是你骨子里却是个彻彻底底的人渣，混蛋。
他不愿意，我就找别的人来代替。 也例如现在他们将你的妹妹囚禁在柴房，不管他们有什么动机或者出于什么目的，我都没有追问的心思和寻找答案的意义——————我只需要知道结果就足够了。 现在我向你展示的就是结果，是给你的答案。
李牧羊努力的压抑住心中的暴戾之气，眼睛血红的盯着宋孤独，出声问道：“你想和我做什么交易？”
“用你的命换她们的命。” 宋孤独说道。
“怎么个换法？”
“为我所用。” 宋孤独说道。
李牧羊忍不住冷笑出声，一脸嘲讽的说道：“你虽然没有君王的名份，但是却拥有比君王更重的权势。 陆氏倒塌，宋氏一族独大，其余皆沦为附庸。
宋孤独轻声说道。 声音很轻，也很温和，但是那骨子里的霸道威势却仍然让人心悸不已。 “可是，李牧羊，你是一头龙啊。
“你想让我为你卖命？ 替你杀人？”
“修行如登山，破境如揽月。 年纪越大，修行的速度也就越发的缓慢。 所能够留给你的时间也就越来越少了，常人终究会有一个寿命极限。
“我从星空上品踏入神游之境用了二十二年的时间，而我从踏入星空境至神游境，足足用了五十一年的时间。 世人皆称我为‘星空之眼’，那是因为我在这星空之境里耗费了太多的时间和精力，默默地关注着这片星空五十一年。 一甲子的时间，哪里还有什么事情是看不清楚的？
还有很多事情想做，还有更强大的力量要追求。 可是，人类的生命是有一个限度的。 就算他手握一国权柄，通天的修为，也难以逆转这生老病死的天道轮回。
所以，宋孤独想要找李牧羊做一个交易。
一个只能够和李牧羊做的交易。
李牧羊瞪大眼睛看向宋孤独，一脸惊讶的说道：“你想长生不死？”
宋孤独的嘴角带着一抹淡淡的笑意。 “除此之外，又有什么值得我亲自跑来一趟和你做交易的的事情呢？”
他跑来和自己做交易，自己又不是掌管生死薄的神仙，又怎么能够让他永生不死呢？ 倘若自己当真有那样的能力，立即大笔一划，将他的名字从那生字薄上面给划掉，将他打入修罗道，畜生道，让他永世不得翻身。 “不要着急拒绝。”
宋孤独出声说道。 他指着光幕之中的李思念，说道：“你的每一句话都决定着她的生死。”
“辱骂是懦弱者的行为。 除此之外，你又能做些什么呢？”
李牧羊咬牙切齿的说道。 不得不说，宋孤独的每一句话都充满了魔力，让你不由得受其思维影响，受其言行所控制。 正如他所说的那般，自己的辱骂没有任何意义。
到了他这种境界的人，什么事情没有经历过？
几句辱骂的话又怎么能动其本心？ 将其激怒？
就连让他皱眉的力量都没有。
“反正嘴巴闲着也是闲着。” 李牧羊出声说道。
“随意。” 宋孤独倒是大度，看着李牧羊继续谈论自己的交易，这个时候的他看起来是一个很真诚却又很不合格的商人，说道：“你误解了我的意思。 我并没想过要永生不死，只有神仙人物才能够真正的与日月同寿，生生不息。”
“我知道龙族有着远超乎人族的寿命，他们动辄数百年以及上千年的生活着。 只要能够拥有龙族的寿命，这与我而已也足够了——————只要给我多一些的时间，终归能够找到其它的办法。”
“龙族的寿命长短是天生的。” 李牧羊说道。
“我如何帮你？
光幕之中，囚禁着李思念的那间柴房被人推开了。
李牧羊看到，他在天都城见过数面的风城之主的儿子陆林推开柴门，出现在了李思念的面前。
李牧羊嘴里的狠话说不下去了，一脸紧张的盯着那光幕之中的画面。
“立即让他退出去——————”李牧羊出声吼道。
“只要让他退出去，什么交易我都可以和你谈。”

Chapter 487: Eternal Life!
“Shinian——” Li Muyang cried out.
For the sake of their safety, he begged the Lu family to send Li Shinian and his parents to Wind City before his duel with Mu Dingyi.
It was only then that he could face the battle with peace of mind.
At that time he was already prepared to die or to flee. If the difference in strength between them were too great, he would die. If there were a glimmer of hope, then he would flee.
No matter what way he ultimately chose, it would be extremely bad for his family, because they did not have the ability to protect themselves.
Wind City was the ancestral residence of the Lu family and was defended by the Lord of Wind City Lu Wuyong as well as hundreds of thousands of armoured soldiers. As long as there was internal stability, even if the imperial court dispatched the army it would be incredibly difficult to siege Wind City.
When Li Muyang made this decision, he believed in the Lu Clan and believed in Wind City.
Ever since his parents and sister were sent away, his mind had been stable and he did not need to worry about their safety. In his subconscious mind, Wind city was invulnerable to attacks, can take the offensive or defensive as it chooses. Given that his parents were taken care of by the Lu clan then they should be safe.
However, what Li Muyang did not think about was that this move was the same as sending the sheep into the mouth of the tiger——He had personally sent his parents and little sister to the tiger’s mouth.
Lu Wuyong had betrayed the Lu clan and Wind City had become extremely dangerous.
His little sister, Li Shinian, was imprisoned in a firewood room, chained, and clothes stained with blood. He did not know if she had suffered any serious injuries.
“Lu Wuyong———” Recuperating on a boulder in the distance, Lu Qingming roared out violently at the sight of the scene in the light screen. His chest was heaving up and down, and once again spurted out blood.
For Lu Qingming, it was even more difficult to accept such a betrayal.
He and Lu Wuyong were from the same sect and ancestor, and belonged to the same Lu clan. At a very young age, Lu Wuyong was sent to the Lu residence in Tiandu to undergo important training. Lu Xingkong had spent a lot of time and energy on him, and polished him to become one of the core figures of the Lu family. Later, he was sent to West Wind University, and after the completion of a military post for two years, was sent to the military of Wind City to do paperwork. He was then step-by-step promoted to be the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the City Lord of Wind city.
Wind city was the root of the Lu clan, also the safe place that Lu Xingkong had carefully created. No matter how dangerous they were in Tiandu, no matter how they dealt with the enemy, as long as they escaped from Tiandu they would be able to protect the lives of their family.
Moreover, Lu Qingming and Lu Wuyong grew up together, were as close as brothers. When Lu Qingming led troops in Wind City, Lu Wuyong was his left leg and right arm. The two fought shoulder-to-shoulder, advanced and retreated together, and treated each other with absolute sincerity.
Previously the two had often communicated through letters. He explained to Lu Qingming that the enemy was making unusual movements, so he had to stay stationed at the frontier in case the other side had plans to invade. Although Lu Qingming had doubts, he was quick to dispel those bad thoughts. He had been stationed military for years and knew that any slightest movement from the enemy forces would cause a series of chain reaction. It was incredibly important to not be careless in military affairs. Thus his behaviour was perfectly understandable. As a result, Lu Qingming also wrote back to tell him not to mind and that as long as he was loyal to the country.
What he did not think was that Lu Wuyong had long sent secret messages to others to set up an inescapable net in Wind City, waiting for these people to plunge into it.
Incessantly spitting out blood, Lu Qingming’s body was becoming weaker and weaker.
He was not even able to sit upright, teetering, struggling to persist, and seemed would collapse on the boulder at any time.
“Lu Wuyong, I must kill you.” Lu Qingming hissed, mouth overflowing with blood.
“What have you done to Shinian?” Li Muyang roared.
“As you can see, Miss Shinian is now safe and sound. She is a guest in Wind City, and presumably your Lu family will take care of her. Don’t worry. However, if our deal fails, then the consequences are difficult to predict.”
Li Muyang’s eyes reddened as he roared: “Song Gudu, you are a despicable person——you’re high and mighty, and people treat you like a God, but you’re a complete scum. With your cultivation level and status, you did something like that to a little girl——What else in the world will you not do?”
Song Gudu calmly looked at Li Muyang who had entered into a crazy state. “At my age, there are already lot of things that I don’t care much about anymore. For example, whether or not Lu Wuyong wants to be used by me. If he wants it, I’ll accept it. If he doesn’t want to, I’ll find someone else to replace him. For example, now they have imprisoned your sister in a firewood room, no matter what their motives or purpose is, I have no thought of asking and no intention of finding the answer——I just need to know what the result is and that will be enough. Now what I’m showing you is the result, your answer. So, it’s your turn now. Li Muyang, what’s your answer?”
Li Muyang tried hard to suppress the vicious tendencies in his heart, glowering at Song Gudu with blood-red eyes he fumed: “What kind of deal do you want to make with me?”
“Trade your life for their lives.” Song Gudu stated.
“What kind of exchange is that?”
“To be used by me.” Song Gudu said.
Li Muyang couldn’t help smiling a cold, mocking smile: “Although you do not have the title of an Emperor, you have more power than the Emperor. Now that the Lu clan had collapsed, the Song clan is the strongest and the rest are reduced to subordinates. Your wealth is equivalent to that of an entire country, and naturally do not have a shortage of money. You’ve tread past the starry sky, stepped into Astral projection realm, become the strongest in West Wind Kingdom——you want me to use for you? What can I do for you?”
“If you were an ordinary person, naturally there is no way you can give me what I want. And also is not qualified to make any deals with me.” Song Gudu said in a low voice. His voice was quiet, also very gentle, but that tyrannical power still makes one palpitate. “But, Li Muyang, you are a dragon. In the great wide world, only you are qualified to make a deal with me.”
“You want me to work for you? Kill For you?”
“No, you don’t need to worry about those little things, countless people are fighting to do it for me.” Song Gudu said, shaking his head. “Cultivation is like climbing a mountain, breaking into the next realm is like seizing the moon. The older you get, the slower the pace of cultivation. The time you can set aside also gets less, and ordinary people will eventually be limited by one’s lifespan. It’s hard for anyone to break through, including myself.”
“It took me 22 years to step into the Astral Projection Realm from the higher stage of the Starry sky realm, and it took me 51 years to progress from the Starry sky to the Astral projection. The world calls me the ‘Eye of the Starry Sky’, because I spend too much time and energy in the Starry sky, silently watching the starry sky for 51 years. Fifty years of time, what else would I not see clearly? The sky is so vast, what secrets does it have?”
“However, even if I entered into the realm of Astral projection, I will eventually die of old age. What’s the significance of the lower stage of the Astral projection realm? Can it ensure eternal life?” Song Gudu’s voice contained endless loneliness and melancholy. There were still a lot of things he wanted to do, and a lot more powerful strength he wanted to pursue. However, there was a limit to human life. Even if he held the authority of a country, possessed an earth-shaking cultivation base, it was still difficult to reverse the fate of humankind.
Therefore, Song Gudu wanted to make a deal with Li Muyang.
A deal that can only be made with Li Muyang.
Li Muyang stared wide-eyed at Song Gudu, a look of surprise across his face. “You want to live forever?”
“Which cultivator doesn’t want immortality?” The corners of Song Gudu’s mouth were curved upwards in a smile. “Apart from this, what matter is worth me coming all the way here in person to make a deal with you?”
“I can’t help you with this matter. Even I am going to be killed by you soon.” Li Muyang said with a sneer. He felt that the old man would stop at nothing for the sake of long life. Song Gudu had come to make a deal with him, but he was not a celestial being in charge of life and death, how could he grant him eternal life? If he really had that ability, he would have immediately crossed out his name from the book of life, send him onto the Asura path and never let him turn over.
“You don’t need to refuse so soon.” Song Gudu reminded, pointing to Li Shinian in the light screen: “Every word you say determines her life and death.”
“Hurling insult is the act of a coward. Besides that, what can you do?”
“Nothing can be done.” Li Muyang gnashed his teeth in anger. It had to be said that every word of Song Gudu was full of demonic power, which makes one could not help but be influenced by his thinking, and words and actions be controlled by him. As he had put it, hurling insults had no significance.
For someone of his cultivation level, what had he not experienced before?
How would a few words of insults change his heart? How would he be irritated by it?
It did not even have the power to make him frown.
“Since the mouth is idle anyway.” Li Muyang said in a loud voice.
“As you wish.” Song Gudu was very generous, watching Li Muyang continue to talk about their deal, he seemed like a very sincere but also a very unqualified businessman. “You misunderstood what I mean. I don’t want to live forever, only immortals and celestial beings can truly live as long as the sun and the moon.”
“I know that dragons live far beyond the human race, and that they have lived for hundreds and thousands of years. As long as I can have the life span of the Dragon, that will be enough for me——just give me a little more time, and I will eventually be able to find other ways.”
“The lifespan of dragons is inborn.” Li Muyang stated. “How can I help you? Besides, even if I know the secret of the Dragon’s longevity, I would never———”
Creak————
In the light screen, the door to the firewood room where Li Shinian was imprisoned was pushed open by someone.
Li Muyang saw the son of the Lord of Wind city Lu Lin, who he had met in Tiandu, pushed open the door and appeared in front of Li Shinian.
Li Muyang could not continue, staring nervously at the scene in the light screen.
He was afraid that Lu Lin would suddenly do something crazy, even more fear that he had received Song Gudu’s order to hurt Li Shinian——
“Get him out of there immediately——” Li Muyang roared. “Get him out, I will talk to you about any deal.”

"value": "Chapter 185\nHe took a few turns, and continued to move forward. He had already crossed the Liu Feng Martial Arts School.\nLiu Feng Martial Arts School was the place where he had initiated his martial arts practice. Li Cang Hai was his teacher back then.\nShi Mu pulled the reins of his horses. His horses turned around, and headed towards the Liu Feng Martial Arts School. Shi Mu planned to visit Li Cang Hai.\nSuddenly, he wrinkled his brows. He then turned over and looked behind him. A shadow flashed more than a hundred feet away in a small alley; it then quickly vanished.\nShi Mu’s vision flashed.\nHe didn’t know how long he had been spied upon for. The spies were hiding in the surroundings in a careful manner, but they couldn’t conceal themselves from Shi Mu’s eyes and ears.\nShi Mu snorted coldly in his heart. But, he continued to move his vehicle forward with a calm and collected expression on his face.\nShi Mu then arrived on a ten feet wide street. There were old-fashioned buildings on both sides of the street; no one could be seen nearby.\nThis area belonged to the old city. The Black Fox Gang used to manage this area back in those days.\nShi Mu pulled the reins of the horses, and stopped the carriage.\nFour or five tall and sturdy people attired in black robes stood side-by-side not far from Shi Mu’s carriage; they held weapons in their hands. And, they had obstructed his way.\nA golden dragon pattern was embroidered on the sleeves of a few of those people. They all had a malicious and evil look on their faces.\nThen, seven or eight people scuttled out from inside the alleys behind Shi Mu. They were armed with swords, sticks and various kinds of weapons. In addition, some people among the group were holding powerful crossbows, and they were obviously aimed towards Shi Mu.\nA chill and desolate aura pervaded the air.\n“Your Excellency must be Shi Mu, right?” The leader of the group – a scar-faced man – took a step ahead. He then laughed mischievously and asked.\n“Who are you people? Why are you blocking my way?” Shi Mu didn’t reply to his question. Instead, he looked around and asked.\n“We’re the Golden Dragon Gang… and I’m Deputy Chief Mai Zheng. What you did back then is impossible to forget. I never thought that you would dare to return to the Feng City. Well… I admire you for coming back,” the scar-faced man said coldly.\nShi Mu raised the tip of his brow, but didn’t speak.\nIt seemed that the time had finally come.\nHowever, this Golden Dragon Gang was unknown to him. He remembered that there was no such gang in Feng City in those days. They must’ve appeared a few years after he left Feng City.\n“So, do you people wish to take my head to receive the reward?” Shi Mu’s vision flashed. He then asked with an expressionless face.\nThe scar-faced man seemed quite strong. He seemed to be a Hou Tian initial-level warrior. Feng City had a lot of gangs back then, but nobody’s strength had reached to this level. Moreover, this man was a Deputy Chief. So, his strength mustn’t be weak.\nThe scar-faced man hadn’t even opened his mouth to reply when a ‘whiz’ sound was heard.\nA long arrow with a wind piercing sound was launched towards Shi Mu’s back. Its speed was quite astonishing.\nA single-eyed man was crouching on the rear of a wall behind Shi Mu. He held a crossbow in his hand; it was as big as a man. The trace of a proud smile appeared in the eye of the one-eyed man.\nThe scar-faced man became angry. He had received an order that Shi Mu must be brought to the headquarters, and handed over to the head person – exactly the way he was; not in the form of a corpse.\nSuddenly, the scar-faced man exposed an incredible look on his face.\nHe saw that Shi Mu didn’t even turn his head. He merely moved his hand, caught the approaching arrow, and pressed it between his two fingers. He then threw it back.\nThe arrow rushed back towards the one-eyed man with thrice the speed with which it had come. The people present at the scene could only see a black line flash before their eyes. The one-eyed man’s body flew several feet away, and got knocked against the wall behind him. However, he didn’t fall to the ground.\nEveryone gazed towards him. Then, everyone realized that the arrow had pierced through his heart; his body had been nailed to the wall as a result.\nHe looked extremely scared. He opened his mouth, and issued a few sounds. Then, his body twitched a little, and his pupils became dilated.\nThe people of the Golden Dragon Gang looked extremely surprised. They couldn’t help but drew a step backwards; the weapons in their hands started to shiver. They looked towards Shi Mu with astonishment. Only their leader – the scar-faced man – still remained tranquil. But, a trace of fear could be seen in his eyes.\nHe evaluated the situation, and concluded that it was impossible for him to capture Shi Mu.\n“I’m not very patient. So, quickly tell me why you’ve stopped me?” Shi Mu said coldly.\n“We had received a letter at our head-quarters… it carried the news that you’ve entered the city. The helper from the gang had come over to pass the message… that there’s a powerful man who wants to see you. He commanded me to take you to him,” the scar-faced man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully.\nShi Mu raised the tip of his brow as he heard this. Then, a thought crossed his mind.\n“Alright. I’ll go with you,” he hesitated for a while, and replied.\nThe scar-faced man and the people around him were startled as they heard this. It seemed as if they couldn’t believe their ears.\n“Don’t act so clumsily,” Shi Mu urged in an impatient manner.\nThe scar-faced man quivered and responded. He nodded, and started to walk ahead in order to lead the way.\nThe other people put away their raised weapons, and followed closely behind the scar-faced man.\nThe people on the streets saw a strange scene. The Deputy Chief of the Golden Dragon Gang – a member of an underworld gang – was running amuck in the city along with a group of people. But, everyone had an uncomfortable expression on their faces. A youth with an unfamiliar face was following in a carriage behind these men. But, this man’s expressions were calm.\nThe group arrived in front of the door of a manor in a remote area of the city half-an-hour later.\nThe carpet-area of the manor seemed quite big through the door. It seemed to consist of seven or eight acres of land. The building inside it looked extremely clean and tall. Two gatekeepers from the Golden Dragon Gang stood on the entrance in black robes.\n“Deputy Chief Mai, is this the man Master told us about?” a man with a muscular body and a dark face shot a quick glance at Shi Mu and asked.\nThe scar-faced man looked towards Shi Mu and nodded.\nThe muscular man didn’t notice the uncomfortable expression on the scar-faced man’s face. He took a few steps forward, and sized Shi Mu up.\n“Boy, you’re smart…” the muscular man laughed nastily, and spoke.\nHe had spoken in a general tone. Shi Mu had jumped down the carriage by this time; he had an expressionless face. He didn’t pay attention to the muscular man, and started to walk towards the manor. He was carrying a watermelon-sized black stone – tied-up in chains – in his left hand.\nThe muscular man’s complexion changed; his face turned red in anger. He wasn’t an ordinary low-ranked person of the Golden Dragon Gang. He had never been ignored in this manner… that too in front of so many people.\n“Boy… stop! I want to talk to you…” the muscular man shouted in anger. He then raised his palm – like a palm-leaf – in order to grab Shi Mu’s shoulder.\n“Wan Qing, stop!” The scar-faced man was shocked. He then shouted out loud.\nBut, it was too late. The fuzzy shadow of a hand flashed, and patted on the shoulder of the muscular man.\nShi Mu didn’t pay attention to anyone. He didn’t stop walking either. He then entered through the gate of the manor. “Lead the way…”\nA large number of people stood in a large courtyard in the depth of the manor.\nThere was a fifty-year-old man attired in black clothes. His stature wasn’t too high, but there was an extremely strong aura around his body. Everyone seemed to be feeling low in front of this man.\nA middle-aged man with a white face stood behind the old man; he too was attired in a black robe. This man was emitting an aura of a late-stage Hou Tian Warrior.\nOne of these two men was the Lord of Wu family of Feng City; the other one was his younger brother – Wu Feng.\nThe other men in the courtyard included a few followers of the Wu family. The rest of the men attired in black-robes were the men of the Golden Dragon Gang. The head of this group was a tall and gigantic man. His eyes were like copper bells, and his facial features were malicious. His cultivation was quite extraordinary. He had reached the middle-stage of the Hou Tian realm.\nA few followers of the Wu family stopped at the exit door of the courtyard. The disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang slowly came towards Shi Mu.\n“The men of your Wu family wanted to kill me back then; I was just protecting myself,” Shi Mu replied.\nShi Mu’s enemies looked at each other in a furious manner. Wu Feng was thinking to dismember Shi Mu’s body into ten-thousand pieces.\nSuddenly, a hand gripped Wu Feng’s shoulder. It was the Lord of the Wu family – Wu Liang. He then pulled Wu Feng back.\n“Wait a minute,” Wu Liang said heavily.\nWu Feng genuinely believed in Wu Liang. So, he stopped obediently… even though he seemed unwilling.\n“It’s hard to imagine that your strength has forged ahead in this manner only in a few years. It has already advanced to the advanced-stage of the Hou Tian realm,” Wu Liang looked at Shi Mu and spoke.\n“What?!” Wu Feng and everyone from the Golden Dragon Gang were surprised as they heard this.\nShi Mu sneered, but didn’t speak.\nHe hadn’t concealed his aura. So, Wu Liang – a Hou Tian Warrior of consummate-stage – was naturally capable of perceiving his present cultivation.\nWu Liang’s body gradually started to emit a strong aura. His clothes started to prop-up as he walked towards Shi Mu. He left deep footprints on the ground in his wake.\n“The death anniversary of Wu Tong and Wu Hua will arrive after three months. I would’ve sent men to slaughter the entire fisherman village of yours… if you hadn’t shown your face today. It would’ve been a sacrifice to Wu Tong and Little Hua’s souls in Heaven. I didn’t think that you had the courage to come back. Well… this has simplified the matter,” Wu Liang said.\nShi Mu’s complexion sank as he heard this. Several cold awns flashed in the depth of his pupils. His real Qi also started to revolve within his body."

第一百八十五章
这里他曾经非常熟悉，往前再拐几个弯，便就是曾经待过的流风武馆。
流风武馆可以说是他武道启蒙之地，厉沧海是他的启蒙老师。
石牧一拉缰绳，转过了马头，朝着流风武馆而去，打算先去拜访一下厉沧海。
就在此刻，他眉头忽的皱了一下，转首朝着身后一个方向看了过去，十余丈外的一个小巷子中人影一花，迅速隐没在了阴影之中。
石牧眼波一闪，稍稍感应了一下周围，眉头皱了起来。
周围不知何时多出了好几道窥视的目光，那些人虽然都小心藏匿于周围，不过如何能瞒得过石牧如今的耳目之力。
石牧心中冷哼了一声，面上却是不动声色的继续驱车朝前行去。
片刻之后，石牧来到了一条只有丈许宽的街道上，两旁是一些老旧的建筑，附近一个人影也无。
这里已经属于老城区，当年黑狐会等****帮派便管理着这一片区域。
突然，石牧一拉缰绳，马车停了下来。
前方不远处，四五个身穿黑袍，手持兵器的魁梧大汉并肩而立，挡住了去路。
几人袖口都绣着一条金龙图案，脸上带着不怀好意的神色。 紧接着，后面的几条小巷之中。
也窜了七八个人，手持刀枪棍棒等各种武器。 甚至还有人拿着军队中才有的劲弩，对准了石牧。
一片肃杀之气。
悠然而生。 “阁下想必就是石牧吧？” 正面几人中，为首一个脸上带着伤疤的大汉踏前一步，嘿嘿笑道。
“你们是什么人，为何挡住我的去路？” 石牧没有回答对话话语，目光朝着周围看了几眼，反问道。
“老子乃是金龙帮副帮主麦正！ 当年你做了什么事，不会忘记了吧，想不到你如今还胆敢回到丰城，说起来。 我倒是挺佩服你的。”
石牧眉梢一挑，没有说话。
该来的终究还是来了。
不过金龙帮这个帮派，他可是闻所未闻，隐约记得当年丰城中并无这个帮派，应该是他离开丰城这几年中新出现的。
“那么几位是想要取我的人头去领赏吗？” 石牧目光一闪，面无表情的说道。
这个刀疤大汉实力倒是颇强，竟已是后天初期的样子，当年丰城的诸多黑帮可没有人的实力达到了这个境界。 就这样此人还只是个副帮主，看来这帮派的帮主实力应该不弱。
刀疤大汉还没有开口。
一只长箭带着破空声，射向石牧后背，速度颇为惊人。
石牧背后一堵墙壁之后，一个独眼男子手持一柄半人高的大弩蹲在那里。
独目中浮现出一丝得意笑容。 刀疤大汉脸上恼怒，他接到的命令是将这个石牧带到本部，交给上面的人处理。 可不是带着一具死尸过去。
不过下一刻，刀疤大汉露出不可置信的神色。
只见石牧头也没回。 一翻手，两根手指便夹住了飞射而来的长箭。 接着往后一甩。
“咻”的一声刺耳锐响！ 弩箭以三倍的速度呼啸而回，众人只觉眼前一道黑线一闪即逝，独眼男子身体被带着飞出了数丈，撞在了身后的墙上，却诡异的没有落下。
众人目光齐刷刷的望去，这才猛地发现，独眼男子心窝处赫然被弩箭贯穿，身体被硬生生钉在了墙壁上。
此人满脸惊恐之色，张了张口，喉咙中却只发出了几声怪声，接着身体抽搐了两下，瞳孔迅速涣散。
周围金龙帮之人大惊，禁不住往后退了一步，手中的武器微微颤抖，惊恐的看着石牧，只有为首的那个刀疤大汉勉强还能保持平静，不过眼神中也闪过一丝恐惧。
他自问以自己的实力，是绝做不到这一点的。
“我的耐心是有限的，说吧，你们拦住我有什么目的？” 石牧冷冷说道。
“我们提前接到了阁……阁下进城的消息，帮中传话过来，有个大人物想要见你，吩咐我带你回去。” 刀疤大汉吞咽了一口口水，小心的说道。
石牧听闻此话，眉梢一抬，露出些许意外之色，心中念头转动了几下。
“既如此，我便随你们走一趟。” 他沉吟了一下，如此说道。
刀疤大汉及周围众人闻言均是一怔，似乎不敢相信自己的耳朵。
石牧有些不耐烦的催促道。
刀疤大汉一个激灵，反应了过来，连忙点头称是，走在前面带路。
其他人都纷纷收起武器，跟在刀疤大汉后面。
结果街道上的人都看到了怪异的一幕，在城中横行惯了的大帮会金龙帮的副帮主，带着一群帮众走在前面，个个神色间局促不安，而在几人身后，一名面容陌生的青年，却赶着马车跟着几人，神色从容不迫。
小半个时辰之后，一行人来到了城中一处偏僻的庄园门前。
从门口往里面望去，庄园面积不小，足有七八亩地的样子，里面的建筑也很是干净高大，门口站着两个黑袍金龙帮帮众把门。
庄园之中早有人听到动静，几个身材高壮的人迎了出来。 “麦副帮主，这人就是帮主提到的那人？” 一个浑身肌肉高鼓的黑面大汉看了石牧一眼，说道。
黑面大汉没有注意到刀疤大汉神情有异。
几步走到石牧身前，上下打量了两眼。 “小子。
算你聪明……”黑面大汉狞笑了一声，正要说几句话。
他话刚说到一般。 石牧已经做面无表情的跳下马车，看也没有看黑面大汉，径直朝着庄园之中走去，左手手臂提着一个西瓜大小的黑色石头，用锁链绑住。
黑面大汉脸色一变，随即脸色涨红恼怒起来，他在金龙帮地位不低，何曾被人如此无视，而且是在众多手下面前。
站住，老子和你说话呢！” 黑面大汉怒喝一声，蒲扇般的手掌带着一股劲风，抓向石牧的肩膀而去。
“万青，住手！” 一旁的刀疤大汉大惊，急呼出声。
不过已经迟了，一个模糊的手影一闪，拍在了黑面大汉肩膀上。
石牧没有理会周围之人，脚步没有丝毫停歇，大步走进了庄园大门。
半晌后，庄园深处，一处颇为开阔的庭院之中，站了一大波人。
当先的是一个五十岁左右的玄衣老者，身材虽然不高，但是身上气息庞大，周围众人都矮上此人一头的感觉。
此人，赫然是一个后天大圆满的高手。 玄衣老者身旁站着一个玄衣白面的中年男子，散发的气息也达到了后天后期的样子。
两人正是丰城吴家的家主吴亮和其兄弟，吴枫。
院落中其他的人也有几个吴家随从，剩下的就是黑袍的金龙帮之人，为首的是一个魁梧之极的巨汉，眼若铜铃，面相凶狠，修为也颇为不凡，达到了后天中期武者的境界。 “原来是吴家，还以为是金家之人先找来了。”
石牧站在庭院路口，目光在几人身上一扫，打了个哈欠，似乎有些无趣的说道。
“哼，石牧，当年你杀了我吴家三家主吴童，还有我儿吴骅，罪该万死！
仇人相见分外眼红，他现在只想将石牧碎尸万段。
一只手掌握住了吴枫的肩膀，正是吴家家主吴亮，一把拉住了吴枫。 “等一下。”
吴亮沉声说道。
吴枫对吴亮极为信服，虽然有些不甘，不过还是乖乖停了下来。
“想不到不过数年，你的实力精进如此，竟然已进阶到了后天后期的境界。” 吴亮看着石牧，一字一句的说道。
“什么！” 听闻此话，一旁的吴枫还有金龙帮众人都大吃一惊。
石牧冷笑一声，没有说话。
他没有收敛自身气息，吴亮身为后天大圆满，境界毕竟摆在那里，自然能够感知到石牧此刻的大致修为。
吴亮身上逐渐散发出一股强大气势，缓步朝着石牧走去，身上衣衫逐渐被撑了起来，地面上留下了一个个深深的脚印。
“还有三个月，便是吴童和骅儿的忌日，本打算你再不露面，便派人将你那个小渔村屠个干干净净，以祭吴童和骅儿在天之灵！ 想不到你竟然有胆量回来，很好，那便省事了！”
石牧闻言，脸色一沉，瞳孔深处一缕寒芒闪过，体内真气也逐渐运转起来。 (未完待续。

Chapter 185
He took a few turns, and continued to move forward. He had already crossed the Liu Feng Martial Arts School.
Liu Feng Martial Arts School was the place where he had initiated his martial arts practice. Li Cang Hai was his teacher back then.
Shi Mu pulled the reins of his horses. His horses turned around, and headed towards the Liu Feng Martial Arts School. Shi Mu planned to visit Li Cang Hai.
Suddenly, he wrinkled his brows. He then turned over and looked behind him. A shadow flashed more than a hundred feet away in a small alley; it then quickly vanished.
Shi Mu’s vision flashed.
He didn’t know how long he had been spied upon for. The spies were hiding in the surroundings in a careful manner, but they couldn’t conceal themselves from Shi Mu’s eyes and ears.
Shi Mu snorted coldly in his heart. But, he continued to move his vehicle forward with a calm and collected expression on his face.
Shi Mu then arrived on a ten feet wide street. There were old-fashioned buildings on both sides of the street; no one could be seen nearby.
This area belonged to the old city. The Black Fox Gang used to manage this area back in those days.
Shi Mu pulled the reins of the horses, and stopped the carriage.
Four or five tall and sturdy people attired in black robes stood side-by-side not far from Shi Mu’s carriage; they held weapons in their hands. And, they had obstructed his way.
A golden dragon pattern was embroidered on the sleeves of a few of those people. They all had a malicious and evil look on their faces.
Then, seven or eight people scuttled out from inside the alleys behind Shi Mu. They were armed with swords, sticks and various kinds of weapons. In addition, some people among the group were holding powerful crossbows, and they were obviously aimed towards Shi Mu.
A chill and desolate aura pervaded the air.
“Your Excellency must be Shi Mu, right?” The leader of the group – a scar-faced man – took a step ahead. He then laughed mischievously and asked.
“Who are you people? Why are you blocking my way?” Shi Mu didn’t reply to his question. Instead, he looked around and asked.
“We’re the Golden Dragon Gang… and I’m Deputy Chief Mai Zheng. What you did back then is impossible to forget. I never thought that you would dare to return to the Feng City. Well… I admire you for coming back,” the scar-faced man said coldly.
Shi Mu raised the tip of his brow, but didn’t speak.
It seemed that the time had finally come.
However, this Golden Dragon Gang was unknown to him. He remembered that there was no such gang in Feng City in those days. They must’ve appeared a few years after he left Feng City.
“So, do you people wish to take my head to receive the reward?” Shi Mu’s vision flashed. He then asked with an expressionless face.
The scar-faced man seemed quite strong. He seemed to be a Hou Tian initial-level warrior. Feng City had a lot of gangs back then, but nobody’s strength had reached to this level. Moreover, this man was a Deputy Chief. So, his strength mustn’t be weak.
The scar-faced man hadn’t even opened his mouth to reply when a ‘whiz’ sound was heard.
A long arrow with a wind piercing sound was launched towards Shi Mu’s back. Its speed was quite astonishing.
A single-eyed man was crouching on the rear of a wall behind Shi Mu. He held a crossbow in his hand; it was as big as a man. The trace of a proud smile appeared in the eye of the one-eyed man.
The scar-faced man became angry. He had received an order that Shi Mu must be brought to the headquarters, and handed over to the head person – exactly the way he was; not in the form of a corpse.
Suddenly, the scar-faced man exposed an incredible look on his face.
He saw that Shi Mu didn’t even turn his head. He merely moved his hand, caught the approaching arrow, and pressed it between his two fingers. He then threw it back.
The arrow rushed back towards the one-eyed man with thrice the speed with which it had come. The people present at the scene could only see a black line flash before their eyes. The one-eyed man’s body flew several feet away, and got knocked against the wall behind him. However, he didn’t fall to the ground.
Everyone gazed towards him. Then, everyone realized that the arrow had pierced through his heart; his body had been nailed to the wall as a result.
He looked extremely scared. He opened his mouth, and issued a few sounds. Then, his body twitched a little, and his pupils became dilated.
The people of the Golden Dragon Gang looked extremely surprised. They couldn’t help but drew a step backwards; the weapons in their hands started to shiver. They looked towards Shi Mu with astonishment. Only their leader – the scar-faced man – still remained tranquil. But, a trace of fear could be seen in his eyes.
He evaluated the situation, and concluded that it was impossible for him to capture Shi Mu.
“I’m not very patient. So, quickly tell me why you’ve stopped me?” Shi Mu said coldly.
“We had received a letter at our head-quarters… it carried the news that you’ve entered the city. The helper from the gang had come over to pass the message… that there’s a powerful man who wants to see you. He commanded me to take you to him,” the scar-faced man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully.
Shi Mu raised the tip of his brow as he heard this. Then, a thought crossed his mind.
“Alright. I’ll go with you,” he hesitated for a while, and replied.
The scar-faced man and the people around him were startled as they heard this. It seemed as if they couldn’t believe their ears.
“Don’t act so clumsily,” Shi Mu urged in an impatient manner.
The scar-faced man quivered and responded. He nodded, and started to walk ahead in order to lead the way.
The other people put away their raised weapons, and followed closely behind the scar-faced man.
The people on the streets saw a strange scene. The Deputy Chief of the Golden Dragon Gang – a member of an underworld gang – was running amuck in the city along with a group of people. But, everyone had an uncomfortable expression on their faces. A youth with an unfamiliar face was following in a carriage behind these men. But, this man’s expressions were calm.
The group arrived in front of the door of a manor in a remote area of the city half-an-hour later.
The carpet-area of the manor seemed quite big through the door. It seemed to consist of seven or eight acres of land. The building inside it looked extremely clean and tall. Two gatekeepers from the Golden Dragon Gang stood on the entrance in black robes.
“Deputy Chief Mai, is this the man Master told us about?” a man with a muscular body and a dark face shot a quick glance at Shi Mu and asked.
The scar-faced man looked towards Shi Mu and nodded.
The muscular man didn’t notice the uncomfortable expression on the scar-faced man’s face. He took a few steps forward, and sized Shi Mu up.
“Boy, you’re smart…” the muscular man laughed nastily, and spoke.
He had spoken in a general tone. Shi Mu had jumped down the carriage by this time; he had an expressionless face. He didn’t pay attention to the muscular man, and started to walk towards the manor. He was carrying a watermelon-sized black stone – tied-up in chains – in his left hand.
The muscular man’s complexion changed; his face turned red in anger. He wasn’t an ordinary low-ranked person of the Golden Dragon Gang. He had never been ignored in this manner… that too in front of so many people.
“Boy… stop! I want to talk to you…” the muscular man shouted in anger. He then raised his palm – like a palm-leaf – in order to grab Shi Mu’s shoulder.
“Wan Qing, stop!” The scar-faced man was shocked. He then shouted out loud.
But, it was too late. The fuzzy shadow of a hand flashed, and patted on the shoulder of the muscular man.
Shi Mu didn’t pay attention to anyone. He didn’t stop walking either. He then entered through the gate of the manor. “Lead the way…”
A large number of people stood in a large courtyard in the depth of the manor.
There was a fifty-year-old man attired in black clothes. His stature wasn’t too high, but there was an extremely strong aura around his body. Everyone seemed to be feeling low in front of this man.
A middle-aged man with a white face stood behind the old man; he too was attired in a black robe. This man was emitting an aura of a late-stage Hou Tian Warrior.
One of these two men was the Lord of Wu family of Feng City; the other one was his younger brother – Wu Feng.
The other men in the courtyard included a few followers of the Wu family. The rest of the men attired in black-robes were the men of the Golden Dragon Gang. The head of this group was a tall and gigantic man. His eyes were like copper bells, and his facial features were malicious. His cultivation was quite extraordinary. He had reached the middle-stage of the Hou Tian realm.
A few followers of the Wu family stopped at the exit door of the courtyard. The disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang slowly came towards Shi Mu.
“The men of your Wu family wanted to kill me back then; I was just protecting myself,” Shi Mu replied.
Shi Mu’s enemies looked at each other in a furious manner. Wu Feng was thinking to dismember Shi Mu’s body into ten-thousand pieces.
Suddenly, a hand gripped Wu Feng’s shoulder. It was the Lord of the Wu family – Wu Liang. He then pulled Wu Feng back.
“Wait a minute,” Wu Liang said heavily.
Wu Feng genuinely believed in Wu Liang. So, he stopped obediently… even though he seemed unwilling.
“It’s hard to imagine that your strength has forged ahead in this manner only in a few years. It has already advanced to the advanced-stage of the Hou Tian realm,” Wu Liang looked at Shi Mu and spoke.
“What?!” Wu Feng and everyone from the Golden Dragon Gang were surprised as they heard this.
Shi Mu sneered, but didn’t speak.
He hadn’t concealed his aura. So, Wu Liang – a Hou Tian Warrior of consummate-stage – was naturally capable of perceiving his present cultivation.
Wu Liang’s body gradually started to emit a strong aura. His clothes started to prop-up as he walked towards Shi Mu. He left deep footprints on the ground in his wake.
“The death anniversary of Wu Tong and Wu Hua will arrive after three months. I would’ve sent men to slaughter the entire fisherman village of yours… if you hadn’t shown your face today. It would’ve been a sacrifice to Wu Tong and Little Hua’s souls in Heaven. I didn’t think that you had the courage to come back. Well… this has simplified the matter,” Wu Liang said.
Shi Mu’s complexion sank as he heard this. Several cold awns flashed in the depth of his pupils. His real Qi also started to revolve within his body.

Also, you should feed it fresh meat for every meal to maintain its fierceness. Only then will it be able to unleash its full capabilities in battle.” The security captain tried to jump off the branch he was standing on after saying this. But after looking at how high up the branch was, he ended up slowly climbing down with his four limbs instead.\n“You know how to train centipedes?” Gao Peng asked suspiciously. This security captain sporting a mutton chop beard did not look like an expert in training monsters.\n“Hey, you brat, don’t go around looking down on others. I trained this Devil Mantis of mine all on my own.” The security captain stretched out his right hand. Out of nowhere, a Devil Mantis suddenly appeared on his left, half kneeling on the ground, its strong chest heaving up and down as it breathed in and out.\n“But there are specializations in every kind of industry. I specialize in training mantises, but that does not mean I’m an expert in training centipedes. If you really want to train this centipede into a killing machine, you will need to find an expert in that field. All I can give you are some pointers and suggestions,” said the security captain, pulling a long face.\n“Mmm, thank you, sir,” Gao Peng said while nodding with thanks.\n“Sir, do you know of any centipede training experts within Chang’an City?” Gao Peng asked.\nThe security captain was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone had actually called him ‘sir.’ This way of addressing him made him feel a little weird.\nAfter a moment’s silence, he said, “There are many famous powerhouses with centipede type Familiars in Chang’an City, but because their centipede Familiars were strong to begin with, only one of them is known for becoming that strong based on his training methods.” The security captain gave an imposing look and said, “The head of the Five Poison Dojo, Cao Jinyan.\n“But Cao Jinyan is a known loner; it’s hard for most people to get close to him. Apparently, all of his family tragically died during the cataclysm. Since then, he’s developed an irritable personality. It’s a taboo to mention anything related to his family in front of him.”\n“Oh, then forget it. I should just train on my own first I guess.” Gao Peng immediately lost interest. He was not used to trying to warm up to people who were cold. It would be like using his own warm cheeks to warm up someone’s cold butt cheeks, and even risking having the other person fart in his face. Most importantly, he felt a little weird about all of this. This security captain was a bit too talkative.\nA Familiar’s battle experience can only be trained through actual battle, thought Gao Peng. He knew what he needed to do know. Furthermore, he had confidence in himself.\nThis security captain clearly had some intent behind his actions. After all, he was acting so proud and aloof before. Those who provide benefits for nothing are usually up to no good.\nGao Peng turned around and left without hesitation. He did not intend to get wrapped up in any kind of scheming or drama. He already had what it takes to become strong. All he needed was to stick to his plan step by step to get stronger. ….\nThe three day excursion quickly came to an end.\nAlthough there were still some monsters out in the outskirts, they were all of low tiers, mainly common tier. With the addition of the almost omnipresent Devil Mantises secretly protecting the students, it would actually be strange if a student met with an accident.\nThese few days were for the students to actually come into contact with wild monsters in real life. These monsters were different from those raised in their homes. Those at home were largely gentle and rarely got angry whereas those in the wild were feral and hard to tame. Allowing the students to have real-life experiences with wild monsters would be greatly beneficial to both their future and current capabilities.\nSitting back on the bus, Da Zi quietly lay down by Gao Peng’s feet as he watched the surroundings outside the window fade into a blur. Over the last few days, there was little visible change in Da Zi’s outer appearance. But if one were to take a closer look, Da Zi’s eyes definitely looked a lot fiercer than they had a few days before. Each individual limb shimmered with a cold light, and lingering around its fangs was an almost undetectable murderous glint.\nOther than routinely training Da Zi’s agility and explosive strength, for the past few days, Da Zi had also constantly battled the wild monsters in the jungle.\nThe most dangerous encounter they had was when Da Zi was struck by a Bullet Beetle and almost got its brains blown out. A centipede’s head is its Achilles heel, and is the most fragile part of its body.\nDa Zi’s brain was covered by a thick and hard carapace, but under that was its fragile brain matter.\nThe wounds that it got almost cost Da Zi its life. In the end, it was the security captain’s variant Devil Mantis Familiar that killed the Bullet Beetle in one hit, saving Da Zi’s life.\nGao Peng gently stroked Da Zi’s skull. There was a patch there that was a different color from its surroundings. It was the lighter and paler color of a newly grown carapace. That was the area where the Bullet Beetle had pierced through.\nIt took a full day for a full recovery, and that alone shocked Gao Peng greatly. Such a fast recovery speed… this was indeed a monster. Before the cataclysm, such recovery speed was practically unimaginable.\nThe bus drove past the school and continued into the city area, finally allowing everyone to alight together there.\nMurong Qiuye rubbed her eyes, opened up a black leather notebook and said, “After alighting, all of you are to go home immediately. No going to places like monster amusement parks, no exploring haunted houses, and definitely no visiting the Monster Battle Arena! In half an hour’s time, I will be calling all of your parents. If I find that any of you have secretly went out to play instead of going home on time, you will be copying your textbook ten times.”\n“Okay… Understood,” replied a bunch of adolescent boys and girls weakly.\nAfter getting off the bus, Tan Qianjin made his way towards Gao Peng while beaming and patted him on the shoulder. “Wanna go take a look at the Monster Battle Arena together?”\n“Nah, I should get back home on time,” Gao Peng refused politely.\n“But aren’t your…” Tan Qianjin wanted to say something, but suddenly laughed awkwardly as he remembered, and apologized profusely.\n“It’s alright,” said Gao Peng, shaking his head to show that he was okay. After three years, he was able to accept reality calmly. He was not a teenager bursting with self-esteem who would easily blow up with a single touch. He was not the kind who would hate the world and be jealous of others just because he lost his parents.\nInstead, because he had personally experienced such pain, he was able to better treasure life.\n“Ok.” Tan Qianjin seemed to have some regrets and seemed to want to say something. But in front of him, Gao Peng had begun to turn and leave. Looking at Gao Peng’s frail-looking back going further away from him, Tan Qianjin had no choice but to swallow back the words that he wanted to say.\nGao Peng gently pursed his lips and, leading Da Zi with him, slowly vanished into the crowd.\n“Little Gao, you’re back.” Uncle Liu was having a leisurely stroll in the microdistrict’s garden. He greeted Gao Peng as he walked by with Da Zi.\n“Uncle Liu,” said Gao Peng with a smile and a nod. Uncle Liu was his neighbor, who moved in two years ago. At that time, Gao Peng was experiencing the darkest and most painful period in his life. It was only because of Uncle Liu’s guidance that Gao Peng managed to do away with the morbid mentality that he had initially.\nHe had heard that Uncle Liu’s sons and daughters had all met with accidents after the cataclysm and died, leaving him all by himself. Hence, the old man and young man who underwent the same experience became fast friends despite the age gap. Many things that Gao Peng would not share with outsiders, he would share with Uncle Liu.\n“Eh? This little centipede seems a lot more energetic since the last time I saw it a while back. Little Gao, have you taken it to see blood?” Uncle Liu asked in surprise.\n“Yup, we just came back from the Mirror Lake in the outskirts. We were there for three days,” said Gao Peng with a nod.\n“Mm, not bad. Things like these centipedes aren’t like cat and dog-type Familiars. It is in the nature of these Familiars to do battle to survive; so it has to see blood often.” Uncle Liu paused for a moment, then continued, “Although this centipede is of a pretty good breed, it is still a normal grade monster, after all. One’s first Familiar has to be chosen carefully. If you don’t mind, I can give you two rather good little familiars to raise.” Uncle Liu smiled as he finished."

第十三章
“蜈蚣生性凶猛，想要训练的话必须要让它不断与猎物厮杀，然后每顿给其服用生肉保持其凶性，这样才能最大限度的开发其战斗力。” 安保队长想要从树枝上跳下来，但看了看树枝的高度，最后四肢并用从树干上缓缓爬下。
“你知道怎么训练？” 高鹏还是有些怀疑，眼前这个满脸络腮胡的安保队长怎么看都不像训练高手的样子。
“哼，小鬼，不要瞧不起人，我家这只魔鬼螳螂就是由我亲自训练出来的。” 安保队长伸出右手，空无一物的左边突然出现一只魔鬼螳螂半蹲于地面，随着呼吸它强壮的胸膛也随之起伏。
“不过术业有专攻，我精通螳螂并不代表我就精通蜈蚣，想要真正将你这只蜈蚣训练成一只杀戮机器需要去找专业的人才，我也只能给你提供一些意见和建议而已。” 安保队长板着脸说道。
“嗯，谢谢先生。” 高鹏点头表示感谢。
“先生知道长安城内有谁是训练蜈蚣的高手吗？” 高鹏突然开口询问。
安保队长愣了片刻，这还是第一次有人叫他先生呢，这个称呼总让他感觉怪怪的。
沉吟片刻，“长安城内以蜈蚣类御兽而闻名的强者有好几位，但那是因为他们的蜈蚣御兽本来就很强，真正后天训练而闻名的强者只有一人。” 安保队长眼底露出一丝凝重，“五毒武馆的馆长，曹金焱。”
“不过曹金焱性格孤僻，一般人很难接近，据说曹金焱的所有亲人都在灾变时不慎死亡，所以他脾气很暴躁，特别不要在他面前提亲人有关的东西。”
“哦，那算了，我还是先自己训练吧。” 高鹏顿时没有了兴趣，他不习惯热脸去贴别人冷屁股，而且说不准别人还会在他脸上崩一个屁。
御兽的战斗经验都是在实战中训练出来的。 高鹏心底想道，他明白应该怎么做了，况且他也有自己的底气。
安保队长张大了嘴，这个，这个和说好的不一样啊。
这个安保队长的所作所为太刻意了，无事献殷非奸即盗。 高鹏毫不犹豫转身离开。
为期三天的郊游很快结束。
虽然郊区也有少量怪物存在，但等级大都不高只是一些普通等级的怪物，加上还有无处不在的魔鬼螳螂暗中保护想要发生意外才是一件罕见的事。
这几日也是让这些学生在生活中正式接触野生怪物，与家养的怪物不同，家养的怪物大都性情温和平时也很少发怒，而这些野生怪物野性难驯，能够与这些充满野性的野生怪物接触无论是对这些学生将来还是实际动手能力都有很大的提升。
坐在车上，看着窗外的景色穿梭化为模糊的光带，大紫安静的躺在高鹏脚下，与前几日相比大紫外观体型没有太大的变化，但是如果仔细观察能够明显看见大紫的眼神比之前几日更加凶戾。 一根根节肢闪烁着寒光，微不可查的杀气萦绕在颚牙间。
除了每日例常锻炼大紫的灵活性、爆发力之外，这几日每日都让大紫不断与树林里的野生怪物战斗。
甚至有一次最危险的时刻大紫被子弹甲虫攻击，险些被爆掉脑袋，蜈蚣的脑袋就是他致命的弱点，这里也是他全身最脆弱的地方。
它脑袋上虽然有厚实坚硬的硬壳保护，但是硬壳下面就是脆弱的大脑。
那次伤势让大紫差点毙命，最后关头还是安保队长的御兽变异魔鬼螳螂将子弹甲虫秒杀才救得大紫一命。
高鹏轻轻摸着大紫头骨，那里有一块区域与周围的颜色不一样，颜色更浅更淡，这是刚长出来的新壳，那里被子弹甲虫洞穿的区域。
足足过了一天的时间才重新愈合，但就算如此也让高鹏十分震惊了，这么快的愈合速度......不愧是怪兽，放在大灾变前这种级别的愈合速度几乎不敢想象。
校车经过学校然后继续开往市区，最后在市区统一下车。
慕容秋叶扶了扶眼眶，低头打开一个黑色真皮记事本，叮嘱道：“下车后同学们都要按时回家，不要去什么怪兽游乐园、惊悚屋里探险、特别是不要去斗兽场！ 半个小时后我会逐一给给你们家长打电话，如果我发现谁偷偷跑到外面去玩没有按时回家，罚抄书十遍。”
一群半大不小的男孩女孩们有气无力的答应。
下车，谭前进笑嘻嘻的凑上来，拍了拍高鹏的肩膀，“要不要一起去斗兽场瞅瞅？”
“不了，我还要按时回家。” 高鹏客套拒绝。
“可是你不是......”谭前进想要开口，然后突然尴尬一笑想到了什么，连道对不起。
“没事。” 高鹏摇头表示无碍，三年的时间已经让他能够坦然接受事实，不会像那些自尊心过于爆棚的少年一触就炸，也不会因为失去父母就因此而愤世妒俗。
相反，他曾亲身经历痛苦，才让他更珍惜生命。
“好吧。” 谭前进有些遗憾，想说什么，眼前高鹏已经转身离开，看着高鹏单薄的背影，谭前进将想说出话的咽了回去。
高鹏轻抿嘴唇，牵着大紫融入人潮，渐渐消失在人潮里。
“小高回来了啊。” 刘大爷在小区花园里悠闲的散着步，对牵着大紫的高鹏打着招呼。
“刘大爷。” 高鹏笑着向刘大爷点头，刘大爷是他邻居，两年前刚搬过来，那时候正是高鹏最痛楚的时刻，也是他最灰暗的时刻，也正是因为刘大爷的一些教导才改变了高鹏最初有些病态的心态。
听说刘大爷膝下子女在大灾变的时候发生了意外全部死了只剩下他一个孤家寡人，所以两个有着相同经历的一老一少悄然间成为了忘年交，很多高鹏不愿意向外人倾诉的东西都会找刘大爷倾诉。
“咦，这小蜈蚣比前段时间我看见的时候更有精神了，小高你是不是带它去见血了？” 刘大爷惊奇的说道。
“是啊，刚从郊区明镜湖回来，在那里待了三天。” 高鹏点头。
“嗯，不错，蜈蚣这种东西和狗啊猫啊之类的御兽不同，这种御兽本就是以战斗为生，必须要多见血才行。” 刘大爷顿了顿，然后继续说道：“不过这只蜈蚣虽然品种不错，但终究只是一只普通品质，第一只御兽要慎重选择，如果你不介意我可以送你两只还不错的小御兽培养。” 刘大爷笑眯眯的。

Chapter 13
“Centipedes have a vicious nature. If you want to train them, you need to keep allowing them to hunt and kill prey. Also, you should feed it fresh meat for every meal to maintain its fierceness. Only then will it be able to unleash its full capabilities in battle.” The security captain tried to jump off the branch he was standing on after saying this. But after looking at how high up the branch was, he ended up slowly climbing down with his four limbs instead.
“You know how to train centipedes?” Gao Peng asked suspiciously. This security captain sporting a mutton chop beard did not look like an expert in training monsters.
“Hey, you brat, don’t go around looking down on others. I trained this Devil Mantis of mine all on my own.” The security captain stretched out his right hand. Out of nowhere, a Devil Mantis suddenly appeared on his left, half kneeling on the ground, its strong chest heaving up and down as it breathed in and out.
“But there are specializations in every kind of industry. I specialize in training mantises, but that does not mean I’m an expert in training centipedes. If you really want to train this centipede into a killing machine, you will need to find an expert in that field. All I can give you are some pointers and suggestions,” said the security captain, pulling a long face.
“Mmm, thank you, sir,” Gao Peng said while nodding with thanks.
“Sir, do you know of any centipede training experts within Chang’an City?” Gao Peng asked.
The security captain was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone had actually called him ‘sir.’ This way of addressing him made him feel a little weird.
After a moment’s silence, he said, “There are many famous powerhouses with centipede type Familiars in Chang’an City, but because their centipede Familiars were strong to begin with, only one of them is known for becoming that strong based on his training methods.” The security captain gave an imposing look and said, “The head of the Five Poison Dojo, Cao Jinyan.
“But Cao Jinyan is a known loner; it’s hard for most people to get close to him. Apparently, all of his family tragically died during the cataclysm. Since then, he’s developed an irritable personality. It’s a taboo to mention anything related to his family in front of him.”

This security captain clearly had some intent behind his actions. After all, he was acting so proud and aloof before. Those who provide benefits for nothing are usually up to no good.
Gao Peng turned around and left without hesitation. He did not intend to get wrapped up in any kind of scheming or drama. He already had what it takes to become strong. All he needed was to stick to his plan step by step to get stronger. ….
The three day excursion quickly came to an end.
Although there were still some monsters out in the outskirts, they were all of low tiers, mainly common tier. With the addition of the almost omnipresent Devil Mantises secretly protecting the students, it would actually be strange if a student met with an accident.
These few days were for the students to actually come into contact with wild monsters in real life. These monsters were different from those raised in their homes. Those at home were largely gentle and rarely got angry whereas those in the wild were feral and hard to tame. Allowing the students to have real-life experiences with wild monsters would be greatly beneficial to both their future and current capabilities.
Sitting back on the bus, Da Zi quietly lay down by Gao Peng’s feet as he watched the surroundings outside the window fade into a blur. Over the last few days, there was little visible change in Da Zi’s outer appearance. But if one were to take a closer look, Da Zi’s eyes definitely looked a lot fiercer than they had a few days before. Each individual limb shimmered with a cold light, and lingering around its fangs was an almost undetectable murderous glint.
Other than routinely training Da Zi’s agility and explosive strength, for the past few days, Da Zi had also constantly battled the wild monsters in the jungle.
The most dangerous encounter they had was when Da Zi was struck by a Bullet Beetle and almost got its brains blown out. A centipede’s head is its Achilles heel, and is the most fragile part of its body.
Da Zi’s brain was covered by a thick and hard carapace, but under that was its fragile brain matter.
The wounds that it got almost cost Da Zi its life. In the end, it was the security captain’s variant Devil Mantis Familiar that killed the Bullet Beetle in one hit, saving Da Zi’s life.
Gao Peng gently stroked Da Zi’s skull. There was a patch there that was a different color from its surroundings. It was the lighter and paler color of a newly grown carapace. That was the area where the Bullet Beetle had pierced through.

After transforming, it will vomit back out the moonlight.\nThus there is a story of a heaven dog eating the moon in the past.\nActually, it is caused by the Moon Swallowing beast. And within the dog girl, Xiao Mi should be this gene!\nBut…Dr. Ma…who is this person? The person in charge of the twelve zodiac plan?\n“No matter who you are we must obtain the twelve zodiac beast.”\nTo deal with the zodiac beast as well as this Dragon Group agent, I must first remove the seal on my body…\n“You all?” Liu Yi has matured a lot in Asura Realm and has become more experienced and immediately found clues from her words.\n“You…damn it!”\nYoko Nishikawa did not think that she would accidentally reveal her group’s information and becomes extremely anxious.\n“Sooner or later I will defeat you! You actually saved me damn it!”\nTo Yoko Nishikawa, being saved by an enemy is an unbearable shame.\n“Save you than save you lol. Why do you say so much rubbish.”\nLiu Yi waves his hand, “I am only saving you in passing, there is no need to be troubled.”\n“Damn, damn you…how dare you look down on me!”\nYoko Nishikawa is hopping mad, “I will let you know what a big mistake it is of you saving me!”\nLiu Yi snickers in his heart as he waves her off, “Okay, okay stop acting cute. Hurry and leave!”\n“Owner let you quickly go back meow! Annoying girl quickly leave! Xiao Mi does not like the scent of you meow~ ~ ~”\n“See you in the future!”\nYoko Nishikawa also does not wish to tangle with them anymore as hurrying to apply for reinforcement is more important.\nHer figure slowly turns into water and slowly disappears in front of Liu Yi. While Liu Yi throws her a sentence, “As long as I am here you guys will never be able to get close to the zodiac beasts! No matter when it will be the same.”\nYoko Nishikawa gives Liu Yi a complex look before her figure completely disappears.\n“Owner meow~~~ A lot of people are coming over meow~”\nAfter Yoko Nishikawa leaves, Xiao Mi sniffs the air before reminding Liu Yi.\n“Understood.” Liu Yi nods his head. He also senses that nearby there are a number of aurae and judging from the aura there are normal people and should be students or teachers who are investigating.\n“Xiao Mi do you know where is the entrance of the laboratory?”\n“Of course I know meow~ But at the entrance, there is an annoying person guarding and Xiao Mi does not like him meow~! Thus Xiao Mi snuck out from another place meow ~”\n“Another place?”\nLiu Yi is somewhat shocked if it is that kind of place, wouldn’t other people be able to sneak in?\nAfter Xiao Mi finishes talking, she brings Liu Yi deeper into the scenery district lake.\nIn a blink of an eye, the two of them are under a stone bridge. Xiao Mi looks at the lake water under the stone bridge and says: “Owner, we go in from here meow~”\nShe wags her tail and jumps into the lake. She gracefully dogs paddle and swims in the water.\nStill, need to enter the water?\nLiu Yi can only follow along and jump in. At the same time, he uses his qi to surround his body to repel the lake water, so as to not wet his clothing.\nThe dog girl does not seem to mind being wet as her fur clothing are sticking to her body because of the water.\nThe clothes stick to her body tightly and completely reveals Xiao Mi’s figure.\nPerky butt, large chest…especially faintly discernible black patch between her legs…Xiao Mi is originally wearing very small clothings and now it is even tighter, causing Liu Yi to feel hot despite being in the cold lake water.\nThis lass…why does she not care about her image ah!\nSince I am already her ‘owner’, then I shall have to take up an owner responsibility and instruct her properly in the future…ah wrong it is teaching her! Right, that is the way…\nLiu Yi does not know about her spring break matter and swims with all her might in front. Liu Yi chases behind her while guessing.\nWhere on earth did Xiao Mi pull out that umbrella from…unless it is really from below?\nShouldn’t be ah…even if that place is can accommodate extreme things, but it wouldn’t be able to keep such a long umbrella ah!\nNot knowing why, a beauty verse appears within Liu Yi’s mind.\nPeach blossom deep water thousand foot deep…@!$#@…no, no, no that is too sinister already!\n“Owner meow~, we have reached meow~”\nXiao Mi points at a waste pipe by the stonewall within the lake.\nThis waste pipe is very narrow and its radius is smaller than 20cm. It is impossible for human to enter such a narrow place.\nXiao Mi turns into a white light before turning into a little white dog and easily enters the waste pipe.\nI’ll be damned…I have completely forgotten that Xiao Mi has this move.\nBut this does not stump Liu Yi as he turned into a black light and in a blink of an eye, his human figure disappears and a palm-sized black scorpion lands by the entrance of the waste pipe and crawls in.\nXiao Mi turns around to see Liu Yi transform into a little scorpion, her eyes filled with curiosity.\nPerhaps it is because Liu Yi crawling speed is too slow, Xiao Mi opens her mouth and pops him in her mouth before jumping into the water and swimming.\nOi, Oi! How can you hold me in your mouth! Liu Yi cries without tears.\nBut I must say this speed is a lot faster… The pipeline is very long and zigzaggy, adding the fact that Xiao Mi is swimming against the current, it took her a good ten minutes before she leave the water and climbs out from a gutter of an underground cavern.\nXiao Mi places Liu Yi on the ground before shaking off the water droplets on her.\nLiu Yi immediately transforms back to human form as he looks around the spacious underground cavity.\nDid not think that underneath KeDa there is such a kind of place!\nThis spaciousness is definitely bigger than a football field and at the foremost of this underground field is a steel fort-like building. It is built into the wall like it is embedded in.\n“This is the side gate meow~This field is used for us zodiac beast to test out our combat ability meow~”\nXiao Mi follows beside Liu Yi’s leg as she wags her tail and say: “It is that cowardly rat that told me about the gutters meow! But it is a pity that that fellow is afraid of water thus he does not dare to try it meow~, it is still Xiao Mi whose courage is the biggest meow~”\nCowardy rat? Is it other zodiac beasts?\n“Xiao Mi wants owner to praise me meow~~”\nThe little white dog rubs against Liu Yi’s leg as she demands.\nLiu Yi smiles before bending down and scratches Xiao Mi’s forehead a few times.\nXiao Mi barks happily and looks completely cute and adorable.\nSeeing Xiao Mi sprawling on the ground and stretching out her limbs, Liu Yi starts to think of his Immortal Fox sister.\nMy Immortal Fox sister ah! How are you now? A year’s time is about to be up. You must wait for me. No matter who it is, as long as they wish to separate to two of us, I will not let him have a good time!\nAfter getting comfortable Xiao Mi climbs up again and happily runs towards the laboratory.\nLiu Yi hurries behind but he did not know that from under the lake, a green leaf slowly floats out before landing behind a stone.\nAt the same time in a tall building far away, a man standing by the window looking out suddenly trembles.\n“That fellow has finally sent back news?”\nHe stretched out his head and rubs the dragon horn on his head. Although it is a joyous matter his expression is still cold and stiff, without any expression.\n“So the laboratory is hidden at that place and there is also a formation. No wonder we were unable to find it. This time around, Lord Demon King will be satisfied…I, Ao Ri will definitely complete Lord Demon King’s wish. Is Ninth Manager around?”\n“Underling is here!”\nA man wearing black suit suddenly appears behind Ao Ri’s back.\nHe is very skinny and gives off a ghostly aura.\n“Sir please give your orders.”\nThe man being addressed as Ninth Manger kneels on the ground.\n“Go here and take the thing that should belong to us.”\nAo Ri did not turn around as he throws out a somewhat yellow leaf.\n“Be slightly careful. Tree demon is already dead. The enemy…has some ability.”\n“Hehehe…since that is the case I have interest in ripping off his head…I’m going!”\nHe waves his arm and chops the wall in front in half, allowing him to fly out.\n“….the money for the wall will be deducted from your pay!”"

第352章
看到犬女小米从自己的双腿之间抽出那把陈才的雨伞来，刘弈的眼珠子差点没掉下去。
我勒个擦……这小妞是从哪里抽出这么长的一把雨伞的啊！
“谢谢主人的雨伞喵！ 小米最爱主人了喵！”
这犬女小米不时地在刘弈的胳膊上蹭来蹭去，显得十分的亲昵。
刘弈都有点傻了，这小米是那只白色的小阿拉斯加犬？
不科学啊！ 明明这么强，为什么竟然会被几只野狗欺负？
“小米那几天身体正好有些异变，不能动用力量。 如果不是主人喵，小米就惨了喵！”
抱着刘弈的胳膊，那犬女小米十分开心地模样。
对面的西川洋子惊讶地握着自己的苦，“你……到底有什么样的魔力！”
“离我的主人远一点喵！”
小米晃着尾巴，怒视着对面的西川洋子，“再敢随便接近主人，我就挠你了喵！”
不要总喵喵的，还挠人！ 世界观都要被你颠覆了好吗？” 刘弈忍不住吐槽起来。
“人家也不想当犬女的喵！”
吞月兽？ 不是阿拉斯加犬么？
刘弈立刻调集小璇的资料库，搜出龙组留给自己，还有日耀集团搜集的一些关于十二生肖计划的资料。
果然，在十二生肖戌狗的那一栏上，赫然标记着几个字，神兽基因：吞月兽！
这吞月兽乃是中国古代神兽之一，身体具有上神力，以月光为食。 每次进化的时候，就会直接把月亮的光辉吞下，在腹中加速吸收能量，进化完毕之后，就会再次把月亮吐出来。
所以古代也就有了天狗食月的故事。
其实，都是吞月兽搞的鬼。 而在犬女小米的体内，应该就是有这样的基因！
不过……马博士，这又是谁？ 负责十二生肖计划的人吗？
“不管你是谁，生肖兽，我们志在必得。”
“你们？”
刘弈在修罗道成长了不少，现在老练了一些，立刻从对方的话中听出了端倪来。
“你……可恶！”
西川洋子也没想到一不小心泄露了组织的事情，紧张的厉害。
“早晚有一天，我会战胜你的！ 你竟然救了我，可恶！”
自己被敌人拯救了，对西川洋子来说，有点耻辱。
“救了你就救了你，哪来的那么多废话。”
刘弈一挥手，“顺手而已，不用挂怀。”
“可，可恶……你竟敢瞧不起我！”
西川洋子气的跺脚，“我会让你知道的，你救下我，是多么错误的一件事！”
“好了好了，快别卖萌了，赶紧回去吧！” 刘弈心中偷笑，摆手道。
“主人让你快回去喵！ 讨厌的女人，快走快走！
“后会有期！”
西川洋子也不想再多做纠缠，申请才最重要。
而刘弈却丢给她一句话。 “记得，只要有我在，你们就不可能接近生肖兽半步！ 论到什么时候，结果都是一样。”
西川洋子复杂地看了刘弈一眼，身体彻底消失在林中。
有好多人向着这边来了喵！”
洋子消失之后，小米吸了吸鼻子，然后提醒刘弈。
刘弈点点头，他也察觉到附近有好多人的气息，从气息判断应该就是些普通人，可能是闻讯而来的学生老师之类的。
“小米，你知道实验室的入口在哪里么？”
“当然知道了喵！ 不过入口有个讨厌的家伙守着，小米不喜欢他喵！ 所以小米是从别的地方溜出来的喵！”
“别的地方？”
刘弈微微有些惊讶，如果是这种地方，那其他的人不是也能溜进去了？
“主人跟我来喵！”
小米说完，带着刘弈向着风景区湖泊深处走去。 转眼两个人走到一个石桥下面，小米看了一眼石桥下面的湖水。 “主人，我们从这里下去喵！”
说着，这小妞一摇尾巴，跳入水中，优雅地狗刨式，向着水中游去。
还得入水么？
刘弈只好跟着跳了进去，同时运用法力在周身做了个气场，隔绝了湖水，免得弄湿衣服。
那犬女小米倒是不介意自己的身体被弄湿，她身上的毛皮衣服，全都因为沾水了的原因，贴在了皮肤上。
那衣服紧紧地贴着皮肤，完全把小米的身材给暴露了出来。
挺翘的臀瓣，丰满的酥胸……尤其是她双腿之间，若隐若现的黑色地带……小米本来穿的就够少的了，现在更加的热辣了，让刘弈虽然身在冰冷的湖水中，却热火焚身。
这丫头……怎么一点都不顾及形象啊！
既然是她的“主人”了，那自己就该担起主人的责任来，以后好好地调-教她……啊不是，管教她！
小米浑然不知自己春-光乍泄的事情，在前面奋力地游着。 刘弈一边追在她的身后，一边忍不住猜想。
小米到底是从哪里拿出那把雨伞的……难道真的是从下面？
应该不会吧……就算是那里的容纳度，也放不下那么长的一把雨伞啊！
不知道为啥，刘弈的脑海中忍不住浮现出这样一首优美的诗词来。
桃花潭水深千尺……买了个表的，不行，太邪恶了这个！
“主人喵，我们到了喵！”
小米指着湖中石壁上的一个排水管。
那排水管很窄，半径不足二十厘米。 这么狭窄的地方，人类根本就进不去吧。
而小米化作一团白光，变成小白狗的模样，轻松地钻进那排水管中。
我勒个擦，都忘了小米还有这一手了。
不过这也难不住刘弈，他身体化作一道黑光，眨眼之间，人类的身躯消失不见，一只巴掌大的黑色小蝎子，落在了排水管的管口里面，向着里面爬行。
小米转过头来，看到刘弈化身的小蝎子，眼睛里都是好奇。
可能是嫌弃刘弈爬得太慢，那小米直接张开嘴巴，把刘弈的身体叼在嘴中，然后带着他往里面游去。 喂喂！
哪有这么叼着自己主人的！ 刘弈欲哭泪。
不过不得不承认，速度快了很多……而这管道也很长，辗转蜿蜒的，加上倒流的水流，小米足足游了十来分钟，终于离开了水面，从一个地下空洞的排水沟里爬了出来。
小米把刘弈放在地上，然后抖抖身上的水花。
刘弈则立刻化回人形，四处看了看这宽敞的地下空洞。
真想不到，科大的地下，竟然会有这样的地方！
这里的宽敞度，绝对可以媲美一个小广场了。 而在地下广场的最前方，是一栋钢铁堡垒似的建筑物，修建在石壁当中，仿佛嵌进去的一般。
“这里是侧门喵，广场是用来给我们生肖兽测试战斗能力的地方喵。”
小米跟在刘弈的脚边，摇着尾巴说道，“那个排水沟还是胆小鼠告诉我的喵！ 可惜那家伙怕水，不敢进去试试喵，还是小米胆子最大了喵！”
其他的生肖兽么？
“小米要主人夸奖喵！”
这小白狗在刘弈的腿上蹭啊蹭的，似乎在真的在讨要骨头一样。
刘弈忍不住笑，蹲下身去，在小米的额头上挠了几下。
小米顿时舒服的直哼哼，那模样要多可爱有多可爱。
看着小米趴在地上伸展四肢的样子，刘弈忍不住想起了自己的狐仙姐姐。
一年之期很快就到了，你一定要等着我。 不管是什么人，只要想把你我二人分开的，我一定不会让他好过的！ “主人，这边走喵！”
舒服够了，小米重新爬了起来，撒开欢子似的，向着实验室跑去。
刘弈赶忙跟在后面，而他不知道，从那下水沟中，缓缓飘出一片绿色的叶子，然后静悄悄地落在一块石头后面。
与此同时，在远处一座高楼中，正站在前俯视芸芸众生的男子忽然浑身一震。
“那家伙终于送回消息了吗？”
他伸出手，摸了摸额头上的一块龙角，虽然是喜事，但表面上依然冷的跟面瘫一样，一点表情都没有。
“原来实验室藏在那个地方，还下了法阵，难怪我们找不到。 这下，妖皇大人应该满意了……我敖日，一定会完成妖皇大人的心愿。
“属下在！”
一个浑身穿着黑西服的男子，忽然一闪身出现在敖日的身后。
他身材削瘦，气息鬼魅。
“大人请吩咐。”
那被换做九当家的男子，蹲在了地上。
“到这里去，拿到我们应得的东西。”
敖日头也没回，随手丢出一片有点泛黄的叶子。
“小心一些，树妖已死，对手……可能有点实力。”
“嘿嘿嘿……这样我才会有斩断他的兴趣……我去了！”
说完，他手臂一挥，面前的墙壁忽然被斩成两半，然后让他飞身出去。
“……修墙的钱从你工资里扣！”

Chapter 352 Underground secret laboratory
Seeing the dog girl Xiao Mi pull out Chen Cai’s umbrella from between her legs, Liu Yi’s eyeballs nearly pop out.
Where the heck did this lass pull out such a long umbrella from ah! Are you for real!
“Thank you owner for you umbrella meow! Xiao Mi likes owner the most meow!”
The dog girl Xiao Mi rubs against Liu Yi arms happily like she is very close.
Liu Yi somewhat stunned, this Xiao Mi is that white little Alaskan dog?
This is not logical ah! Obviously, she is so strong why is she bullied by those wild dogs?!
“Those few days, Xiao Mi’s body is undergoing some changes thus I am unable to use much strength. If it is not for owner meow, then Xiao Mi will be very miserable meow!”
Hugging Liu Yi’s arm, the dog girl gives off a very happy appearance.
Yoko Nishikawa is shocked as she wallows in her bitterness, “You…what kind of demonic power is this!”
“Stay away from my owner meow~!”
Xiao Mi shakes her tail as she stares at Yoko Nishikawa angrily, “If you dare to get close to owner, I shall scratch you meow!”
Liu Yi cannot help but ridicule: “Oi, oi, Xiao Mi you are a dog girl okay! Not a cat maiden ah! Don’t keep meowing and scratch people! My worldview is about to be destroyed by you okay?!”
“It is not like I wished to be a dog girl ah meow~~”
Moon Swallowing beast? Isn’t it an Alaskan dog?
Liu Yi immediately checks Little Jade database and pulls out the information regarding the twelve zodiac plans from Dragon Group as well as the Glorious Sun Conglomerate.
Indeed on the data regarding the dog zodiac is recorded down a few words, mystical beast gene: Moon Swallowing beast!
This Moon Swallowing beast is a mystical beast from ancient China, its body possesses the power of gods and consumes moonlight as food. Every time it evolves, it will directly swallow the moonlight and digest it swiftly in its stomach. After transforming, it will vomit back out the moonlight.
Thus there is a story of a heaven dog eating the moon in the past.
Actually, it is caused by the Moon Swallowing beast. And within the dog girl, Xiao Mi should be this gene!
But…Dr. Ma…who is this person? The person in charge of the twelve zodiac plan?
“No matter who you are we must obtain the twelve zodiac beast.”
To deal with the zodiac beast as well as this Dragon Group agent, I must first remove the seal on my body…
“You all?” Liu Yi has matured a lot in Asura Realm and has become more experienced and immediately found clues from her words.
“You…damn it!”
Yoko Nishikawa did not think that she would accidentally reveal her group’s information and becomes extremely anxious.
“Sooner or later I will defeat you! You actually saved me damn it!”
To Yoko Nishikawa, being saved by an enemy is an unbearable shame.
“Save you than save you lol. Why do you say so much rubbish.”
Liu Yi waves his hand, “I am only saving you in passing, there is no need to be troubled.”
“Damn, damn you…how dare you look down on me!”
Yoko Nishikawa is hopping mad, “I will let you know what a big mistake it is of you saving me!”
Liu Yi snickers in his heart as he waves her off, “Okay, okay stop acting cute. Hurry and leave!”
“Owner let you quickly go back meow! Annoying girl quickly leave! Xiao Mi does not like the scent of you meow~ ~ ~”
“See you in the future!”
Yoko Nishikawa also does not wish to tangle with them anymore as hurrying to apply for reinforcement is more important.
Her figure slowly turns into water and slowly disappears in front of Liu Yi. While Liu Yi throws her a sentence, “As long as I am here you guys will never be able to get close to the zodiac beasts! No matter when it will be the same.”
Yoko Nishikawa gives Liu Yi a complex look before her figure completely disappears.
“Owner meow~~~ A lot of people are coming over meow~”
After Yoko Nishikawa leaves, Xiao Mi sniffs the air before reminding Liu Yi.
“Understood.” Liu Yi nods his head. He also senses that nearby there are a number of aurae and judging from the aura there are normal people and should be students or teachers who are investigating.
“Xiao Mi do you know where is the entrance of the laboratory?”
“Of course I know meow~ But at the entrance, there is an annoying person guarding and Xiao Mi does not like him meow~! Thus Xiao Mi snuck out from another place meow ~”
“Another place?”
Liu Yi is somewhat shocked if it is that kind of place, wouldn’t other people be able to sneak in?
After Xiao Mi finishes talking, she brings Liu Yi deeper into the scenery district lake.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them are under a stone bridge. Xiao Mi looks at the lake water under the stone bridge and says: “Owner, we go in from here meow~”
She wags her tail and jumps into the lake. She gracefully dogs paddle and swims in the water.
Still, need to enter the water?
Liu Yi can only follow along and jump in. At the same time, he uses his qi to surround his body to repel the lake water, so as to not wet his clothing.
The dog girl does not seem to mind being wet as her fur clothing are sticking to her body because of the water.
The clothes stick to her body tightly and completely reveals Xiao Mi’s figure.
Perky butt, large chest…especially faintly discernible black patch between her legs…Xiao Mi is originally wearing very small clothings and now it is even tighter, causing Liu Yi to feel hot despite being in the cold lake water.
This lass…why does she not care about her image ah!
Since I am already her ‘owner’, then I shall have to take up an owner responsibility and instruct her properly in the future…ah wrong it is teaching her! Right, that is the way…
Liu Yi does not know about her spring break matter and swims with all her might in front. Liu Yi chases behind her while guessing.
Where on earth did Xiao Mi pull out that umbrella from…unless it is really from below?
Shouldn’t be ah…even if that place is can accommodate extreme things, but it wouldn’t be able to keep such a long umbrella ah!
Not knowing why, a beauty verse appears within Liu Yi’s mind.
Peach blossom deep water thousand foot deep…@!$#@…no, no, no that is too sinister already!
“Owner meow~, we have reached meow~”
Xiao Mi points at a waste pipe by the stonewall within the lake.
This waste pipe is very narrow and its radius is smaller than 20cm. It is impossible for human to enter such a narrow place.
Xiao Mi turns into a white light before turning into a little white dog and easily enters the waste pipe.
I’ll be damned…I have completely forgotten that Xiao Mi has this move.
But this does not stump Liu Yi as he turned into a black light and in a blink of an eye, his human figure disappears and a palm-sized black scorpion lands by the entrance of the waste pipe and crawls in.
Xiao Mi turns around to see Liu Yi transform into a little scorpion, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Perhaps it is because Liu Yi crawling speed is too slow, Xiao Mi opens her mouth and pops him in her mouth before jumping into the water and swimming.
Oi, Oi! How can you hold me in your mouth! Liu Yi cries without tears.
But I must say this speed is a lot faster… The pipeline is very long and zigzaggy, adding the fact that Xiao Mi is swimming against the current, it took her a good ten minutes before she leave the water and climbs out from a gutter of an underground cavern.
Xiao Mi places Liu Yi on the ground before shaking off the water droplets on her.
Liu Yi immediately transforms back to human form as he looks around the spacious underground cavity.
Did not think that underneath KeDa there is such a kind of place!
This spaciousness is definitely bigger than a football field and at the foremost of this underground field is a steel fort-like building. It is built into the wall like it is embedded in.
“This is the side gate meow~This field is used for us zodiac beast to test out our combat ability meow~”
Xiao Mi follows beside Liu Yi’s leg as she wags her tail and say: “It is that cowardly rat that told me about the gutters meow! But it is a pity that that fellow is afraid of water thus he does not dare to try it meow~, it is still Xiao Mi whose courage is the biggest meow~”
Cowardy rat? Is it other zodiac beasts?
“Xiao Mi wants owner to praise me meow~~”
The little white dog rubs against Liu Yi’s leg as she demands.
Liu Yi smiles before bending down and scratches Xiao Mi’s forehead a few times.
Xiao Mi barks happily and looks completely cute and adorable.
Seeing Xiao Mi sprawling on the ground and stretching out her limbs, Liu Yi starts to think of his Immortal Fox sister.
My Immortal Fox sister ah! How are you now? A year’s time is about to be up. You must wait for me. No matter who it is, as long as they wish to separate to two of us, I will not let him have a good time!
After getting comfortable Xiao Mi climbs up again and happily runs towards the laboratory.
Liu Yi hurries behind but he did not know that from under the lake, a green leaf slowly floats out before landing behind a stone.
At the same time in a tall building far away, a man standing by the window looking out suddenly trembles.
“That fellow has finally sent back news?”
He stretched out his head and rubs the dragon horn on his head. Although it is a joyous matter his expression is still cold and stiff, without any expression.
“So the laboratory is hidden at that place and there is also a formation. No wonder we were unable to find it. This time around, Lord Demon King will be satisfied…I, Ao Ri will definitely complete Lord Demon King’s wish. Is Ninth Manager around?”
“Underling is here!”
A man wearing black suit suddenly appears behind Ao Ri’s back.
He is very skinny and gives off a ghostly aura.
“Sir please give your orders.”
The man being addressed as Ninth Manger kneels on the ground.
“Go here and take the thing that should belong to us.”
Ao Ri did not turn around as he throws out a somewhat yellow leaf.
“Be slightly careful. Tree demon is already dead. The enemy…has some ability.”
“Hehehe…since that is the case I have interest in ripping off his head…I’m going!”
He waves his arm and chops the wall in front in half, allowing him to fly out.
“….the money for the wall will be deducted from your pay!”

But, the repeated failures caused gloomy clouds to appear in their hearts.\nThe several of them were already the elites amongst the human elites. If they weren’t able to break through the chains of the Heavenly Dao then there was no need to mention other martial artists.\nDuring these years, many human martial artists had turned their gaze towards the body transformation system and began to cultivate the Eight Inner Hidden Gates and Nine Stars of the Dao Palace.\nThis included Lin Huang; he placed even more of his time in cultivating the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace.\nBut humanity’s body transformation technique had been abandoned for 3.6 billion years. How easy could it be to redevelop this cultivation system from the ground up?\nMoreover, even the body transformation Laws were still partially blocked by the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign.

As she stabilized her tumbling blood vitality, she looked up at the heavenly dao diagram that was gradually fading away into the skies. She couldn’t help but sigh deeply and say, “Senior Lin Ming… he is truly an outstanding human hero.”\nSable Ink was well aware that when the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace was sealed away in the past, Lin Ming had relied on his amazing potential, his determination, as well as Xiao Moxian’s help to break past the heavenly dao diagram.\nWith Emperor Shakya assisting through an array formation and the six Empyreans joining forces, the difficulty of breaking into the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace in the past was far greater than what these six people had to undergo now.\nYet none of these geniuses were able to break past the barrier. Moreover, the more attempts they tried, the more they could feel how terrifying the bindings of the Heavenly Dao were. Without feeling this for themselves, none of them would have had an inkling of how difficult this was for Lin Ming in the past.\n“Lin Ming…” As Xiao Moxian heard Sable Ink speak of Lin Ming, her gaze seemed to turn distant. Since Lin Ming left, he had spent 500 years in Tragic Death Valley and around 1500 years in the Demon God’s Tomb; he had been gone for a full 2000 years.\nBecause Xiao Moxian hadn’t cultivated in Tragic Death Valley for such a long time like Lin Ming did, her age hadn’t yet reached 10,000 years. However, for most of this time, she and Lin Ming had been separated.\nMoreover, this time, she didn’t know if Lin Ming was alive or dead, or even if he was doing well. How could she not be worried?\n“Father will be safe.”\nBeside Xiao Moxian, Lin Huang had just recovered. He gently held onto his mother’s hand to comfort her.\n“Mm.” Xiao Moxian nodded.\nAt this time, Sable Ink felt a bit embarrassed by her loss of decorum just now. She said, “In the past, even when Senior Lin was being chased down by Soaring Feather God King he was still able to create miracles. This time Senior Lin will surely return and his strength will definitely have risen. He should have steadily reached the upper Empyrean realm, or perhaps even reached… peak Empyrean!”\nSable Ink’s eyes flashed with reverence and admiration.\nThere was no one in humanity that didn’t respect Lin Ming. And, Sable Ink and Lin Huang could be considered peers of the same generation. She had grown up listening to Divine Dream tell stories of Lin Ming, and when it came to respect and worship of the older generation, her fervor was naturally much more intense than that of those like Dragon Fang and Jun Bluemoon who came from Lin Ming’s generation.\nXiao Moxian couldn’t confirm this. In fact, Lin Ming’s talent and potential mainly manifested in his ability to leap past boundaries to fight.\nIn terms of cultivation speed, Lin Ming couldn’t be regarded as an extreme genius; he was even somewhat slower than Xiao Moxian.\nWhen Xiao Moxian had broken into the Empyrean realm, Lin Ming had only been a half-step Empyrean; he wasn’t much faster than Lin Huang.\nThis was mainly because the Laws that Lin Ming cultivated were far too high and their difficulty far too great.\nNow, Xiao Moxian was merely a little bit from reaching the peak Empyrean realm. It would already be wonderful if Lin Ming could reach the upper Empyrean realm."

帝释迦一直是人族的顶尖强者，如果不是因为人族武道文明衰落，他的修炼之路会更加顺利。
在圣族发动第一次蛮荒大战之中，他就一直是天尊极限，如今，终成真神。
帝释迦也是人族的第二个真神。
七个人身处同一座大殿之中，寂静无声，帝释迦十指连动，打出一枚又一枚的佛印，此时在他身下，是一方莲台。
这方莲台，乃是普陀山的灵物，普陀山传承几十亿年，底蕴极为深厚，这方莲台乃是一件可以辅助修炼的至宝。
在法宝界，攻击性，防御性的法宝很多，但是辅助性的法宝却很少，因为它们其中的阵法复杂，炼制起来非常困难。
莲台上，金光大盛，周围的天地元气，尽数汇聚到六人的身边，一时间，法则之光闪烁，在六人的身后，各自浮现出了一个巨大的尊者影像。
现在龙牙、小魔仙、林荒、行痴、墨晓、君碧月六人都是天尊修为，区别就在于各自的小境界不同罢了。
在这场人族大劫之中，人族的诸多高手，成长速度都非常快。
对林荒、墨晓这个级别的天才而言，天尊不需万年，只要七八千年就已经足够，等到一万几千年的时候，就可以达到上位天尊，甚至天尊极限。
可惜，几百年前。 在场诸多人阶，都被人族气运所束缚，想要突破。
必须打破天道秩序神链的封锁。 然而打破秩序神链谈何容易，当年林铭能够打破道宫九星的天道束缚，不知是凭借了多少气运、宝物积累，再加上小魔仙与林铭双修，在被天冥子追杀，生死攸关背水一战的情况下，才险之又险的打破天道道图。 成就九星之力。
而在人族之中，实在没有谁能跟林铭比肩，更是难以重现当年林铭面对的情景。
人族天骄，开始尝试各种手段突破境界。
就比如现在，由帝释迦主持的大阵之中，六名天尊。 合力冲击神链的束缚。
也只是起一个辅助作用，真正冲击束缚，还要看武者本身。
修为越高的武者，他们突破面临的天道束缚也就越牢固，归根结底，要看自身的天赋、潜力，以及冲击天道束缚的决心。
这一切，是否强大足以逆天改命！
帝释迦全身金光大盛，在他全身每一个窍穴之中。 都显化出一个佛陀，诵经之声，萦绕在天地之间，久久不绝。
此时在天空之中，秩序神链形成了天道道图，镇压在众人头顶。
帝释迦脚下莲台旋转，一只金色的大手直轰而上，与此同时，在帝释迦周围的六名天尊武者，一起冲击他们各自的修炼瓶颈！
聚元体系被封的这些年来，他们基本都达到了各自所在小境界的巅峰，如果不是秩序神链的封锁，他们已经突破了。
“轰！”
金色大手印，集合六人的力量，一起冲击在天道道图之上，道图剧烈的震颤！
一次又一次，剧烈的冲击，只要道图光芒稍稍黯淡，便立刻在四周有秩序神链如同金色蟒蛇一般游弋过来，补充着天道道图的能量。
冲击天道道图，会遭到天地道图的反噬。
小魔仙承受起来还好，她毕竟底蕴深厚，潜力强大，肉身也是神兽之体。
而行痴、墨晓等人，都已经被天道的反震之力冲得全身经脉受损，嘴角溢出血丝。
他们对天道道图的冲击还没坚持一炷香的时间，便已经是强弩之末了。
如果再继续下去，将难免受到不可逆转的重创。
他们的速度一缓下来，龙牙、君碧月、林荒也慢了许多，又过了一炷香的时间，小魔仙也停下来了。
这次对天道束缚的冲击，还是以失败而告终。
这个结果，他们并不意外，因为他们已经失败很多次了，连续的失败，让他们的心情却不免沉重起来。
他们几人已经是人族天骄中的天骄了，都不能冲破这天道束缚，更何况是其他武者。
这些年，已经有不少人族武者将目光转投到练体方面，开始修八门遁甲，道宫九星。
包括林荒也将更多的时间投入到了道宫九星的修炼上。
可是人族的练体术已经荒废了三十六亿年，想要在短时间重新发展起来又谈何容易？
而且就算是练体法则，也有一部分被造化圣皇封锁着，想要修炼，还是阻力很大！
其实人族气运被锁住之后，除了凭借自身潜力冲破之外，靠蛮力也不是不可以。
武者到了上位真神境界，再有对应法则（比如吞噬法则，诅咒法则）的话，就有能力逆改一个普通种族的气运，如果能达到超越真神的境界，那就有能力创世灭世，影响一个大世界的气运走势。
那么同理，想要凭借蛮力冲开天道束缚，至少要求有上位真神以上的实力，而人族之中，没有一个人能达到这种境界。
在造化圣皇面前，无论神梦还是帝释迦都差一大截。
而聚元体系被束缚之后，神梦和帝释迦想要超越造化圣皇，那就更难了。
这个时候，墨晓吞下一枚丹药，打坐调息了一会儿，慢慢平复下-体内气血之后，她抬起头，看向天空中已经渐渐隐没下去的天道道图，不禁感慨道：“林铭前辈……真乃人杰。”
墨晓十分清楚，当年道宫九星被封印的时候，林铭就凭借惊人的潜力、决心以及小魔仙的帮助，一举打碎了天道道图。
冲击道宫九星的难度，比他们现在在帝释迦的主持下，合力冲击修为瓶颈有过之而无不及。
他们这么多天才，没有谁能打破，而且越是冲击道图，越能感觉到这天道束缚的可怕，不比较没有感觉，一比较，就深深的知道当年林铭做到这一步是有多难。
突然听到墨晓提起林铭，小魔仙神色有些迷惘，自从林铭离开，在枉死谷之中五百年，到魔神之墓又是一千五百年，他已经走了整整两千年了。
小魔仙因为没有像林铭那般，在枉死谷中长时间闭关，所以她年龄还不到一万岁，而就是这九千多年的时间里，她跟林铭几乎都是处于分别状态的。
这样的离别，而且不知道林铭是生是死，是好是坏，小魔仙怎能不担心。
“父亲不会有事的。”
在小魔仙身边，刚刚恢复过来的林荒，轻轻拉过母亲的手，传递着自己的安慰。 “嗯。”
小魔仙轻轻点头。
这时，觉得自己之前有些失言的墨晓也说道：“当年林前辈被飘羽神王追杀时都能创造奇迹，何况是这一次，林前辈回归之时，定然会实力再进一步，上位天尊是稳的，甚至可能达到……顶尖天尊！”
墨晓漆黑的眼睛中，始终闪烁着崇拜和敬仰的神色。
对林铭，人族没有谁不崇敬的，而墨晓跟林荒差不多是同辈，她是听着林铭、神梦的故事长大，对父辈的崇敬，自然要比龙牙、君碧月这些林铭的平辈强烈得多。
小魔仙不敢肯定，其实林铭的天赋和潜力主要体现在他同级战斗的能力上。
论修炼速度，林铭算不得绝顶，甚至比小魔仙还要慢一些。
当初小魔仙突破天尊的时候，林铭还只是半步天尊，比起林荒的速度都没快多少。
这主要是因为林铭所修法则太极致，想要速成难度太大了。
现在小魔仙自己都差一大截到顶尖天尊，林铭能达到上位天尊，已经不错了。

Emperor Shakya had always been one of the most peak powerhouses of humanity. If it weren’t for the great decline of humanity’s martial arts civilization, his road of cultivation would have been far smoother.
In the first great invasion that the saints launched in the wild universe, he had been at the Empyrean limit. But now, he had finally stepped into True Divinity.
Emperor Shakya was also the second True Divinity of humanity.
Seven people were sitting in a grand hall, silently. Emperor Shakya sat above a lotus throne, his ten fingers weaving together as he produced buddhist seal after buddhist seal.
This lotus throne was one of Mount Potala’s magic tools. Mount Potala had an inheritance that extended for billions of years, and the throne was one of their most precious cultivation support items.
When it came to magic tools, there were numerous offensive and defensive kinds. But when it came to auxiliary magic tools, they were actually quite rare because the array formations required to refine one were exceedingly complex.
Hum – Golden light dazzled outwards on the lotus throne. The surrounding heaven and earth origin energy gathered around the six surrounding people. For a time, the light Laws sparkled and Supreme phantoms appeared behind these six people. A Supreme phantom was the symbol of an Empyrean.
Now, Dragon Fang, Xiao Moxian, Lin Huang, Hang Chi, Sable Ink, and Jun Bluemoon all had Empyrean level cultivations; the only difference was that they were in different small boundaries.
In the great calamity of humanity, many human masters grew at an astonishing speed.
For geniuses at the rank of Lin Huang or Sable Ink, they didn’t need 10,000 years to become an Empyrean; 7-8 thousand years was enough. 10,000 and several thousand some years was enough time for them to reach the upper Empyrean realm or even the limits of an Empyrean.
Unfortunately, several hundred years ago the destiny of humanity had been imprisoned, so if these people wanted to make a breakthrough they first had to break through the Heavenly Dao’s divine chains of order.
However, wanting to break through these divine chains was easier said than done. When Lin Ming broke through to the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace, he had relied upon an inestimable accumulation of destiny and treasures. In addition, Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian had dual cultivated, and while he was being chased down by Tian Mingzi and his back was against the river in a life or death situation, it was only during that critical moment that he broke through the Heavenly Dao dao diagram and obtained the power of the Nine Stars.
But amongst humanity, there really wasn’t anyone capable of comparing with Lin Ming, and it was also difficult to reproduce the same situation that Lin Ming faced in the past.
Thus, the proud elites of humanity each started to test different methods to make breakthroughs.
For instance, within the great array formation managed by Emperor Shakya, six Empyreans attacked the bindings of the divine chains together.
Within the great array, Emperor Shakya was only playing a supportive role. Whether or not one could break past the chains relied on a martial artist themselves.
The higher a cultivation a martial artist possessed, the stronger their shackles would be. Ultimately, everything boiled down to one’s talent, potential, as well as their determination in attacking chains of the Heavenly Dao.
All of this together decided if one was strong enough to defy the heavens and change their lives!
Six lights wove together into a star. Emperor Shakya emitted brilliant golden light from every acupoint. This light coalesced into a buddha as the sound of chanting sutras lingered in the world, persisting for a long time.
At this time, in the skies, the divine chains of order had formed a heavenly dao diagram that pressed down on the heads of all present.
The lotus throne beneath Emperor Shakya’s feet revolved and a golden hand shot upwards. At the same time, the six Empyrean martial artists around Emperor Shakya each tried to break through their own respective cultivation bottlenecks!
During these years that the essence gathering system had been sealed away, they had all reached their peaks in their small boundaries. If it weren’t for the divine chains of order hindering them, they would have already made their breakthroughs.
Bang!
The golden hand gathered together with the strength of the six people and violently crashed into the heavenly dao diagram, causing it to shake!
Again and again, the brutal strikes continued. Every time the dao diagram dimmed, it was immediately supplemented by the golden divine chains of order that snaked around like pythons, adding more energy to the dao diagram.
If one attacked the heavenly dao diagram, they would cause a backlash to occur.
Xiao Moxian was fortunately able to withstand it. She had a deep background and possessed formidable potential, and she even possessed the body of a God Beast.
But as for Hang Chi and Sable Ink, they were shaken by the strength of the Heavenly Dao. Their meridians were damaged by the shaking strength and blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths.
Before their impact against the heavenly dao diagram lasted for an incense stick of time, they had already exhausted themselves.
If this continued then they would suffer catastrophic and irreversible losses.
They slowed down. Dragon Fang, Jun Bluemoon, and Lin Huang also slowed down a great deal. After an incense stick of time passed, Xiao Moxian stopped too.
This time, their attempt to break past the chains of the Heavenly Dao had been defeated.
This result didn’t leave them surprised because they had already failed many times before this. But, the repeated failures caused gloomy clouds to appear in their hearts.
The several of them were already the elites amongst the human elites. If they weren’t able to break through the chains of the Heavenly Dao then there was no need to mention other martial artists.
During these years, many human martial artists had turned their gaze towards the body transformation system and began to cultivate the Eight Inner Hidden Gates and Nine Stars of the Dao Palace.
This included Lin Huang; he placed even more of his time in cultivating the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace.
But humanity’s body transformation technique had been abandoned for 3.6 billion years. How easy could it be to redevelop this cultivation system from the ground up?
Moreover, even the body transformation Laws were still partially blocked by the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign. If one wished to cultivate them, there was still tremendous resistance!
In truth, after humanity’s destiny had been shackled, besides relying on one’s potential to break through, one could also rely on brute force.
When a martial artist reached the upper True Divinity realm and they possessed the corresponding Laws (such as the Swallowing Laws or the Curse Laws), then they would have the ability to change the destiny of an ordinary race. If they could reach the realm Beyond Divinity, then they would have the ability to create and destroy worlds, and even influence the flow of destiny for an entire universe.
Likewise, if one wished to use brute force to break through the chains of the Heavenly Dao, they needed at least an upper True Divinity level of strength to accomplish this. However, amongst the entire human race, no one had reached this boundary.
When it came to the Good Fortune Saint Sovereign, whether it was Divine Dream or Emperor Shakya, they were both a great deal weaker than him.
And with the essence gathering system locked away, it would be even more difficult for Divine Dream or Emperor Shakya to surpass the Good Fortune Saint Son.
At this time, Sable Ink swallowed a pill and began to meditate and restore herself. As she stabilized her tumbling blood vitality, she looked up at the heavenly dao diagram that was gradually fading away into the skies. She couldn’t help but sigh deeply and say, “Senior Lin Ming… he is truly an outstanding human hero.”
Sable Ink was well aware that when the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace was sealed away in the past, Lin Ming had relied on his amazing potential, his determination, as well as Xiao Moxian’s help to break past the heavenly dao diagram.
With Emperor Shakya assisting through an array formation and the six Empyreans joining forces, the difficulty of breaking into the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace in the past was far greater than what these six people had to undergo now.
Yet none of these geniuses were able to break past the barrier. Moreover, the more attempts they tried, the more they could feel how terrifying the bindings of the Heavenly Dao were. Without feeling this for themselves, none of them would have had an inkling of how difficult this was for Lin Ming in the past.
“Lin Ming…” As Xiao Moxian heard Sable Ink speak of Lin Ming, her gaze seemed to turn distant. Since Lin Ming left, he had spent 500 years in Tragic Death Valley and around 1500 years in the Demon God’s Tomb; he had been gone for a full 2000 years.
Because Xiao Moxian hadn’t cultivated in Tragic Death Valley for such a long time like Lin Ming did, her age hadn’t yet reached 10,000 years. However, for most of this time, she and Lin Ming had been separated.
Moreover, this time, she didn’t know if Lin Ming was alive or dead, or even if he was doing well. How could she not be worried?
“Father will be safe.”
Beside Xiao Moxian, Lin Huang had just recovered. He gently held onto his mother’s hand to comfort her.
“Mm.” Xiao Moxian nodded.
At this time, Sable Ink felt a bit embarrassed by her loss of decorum just now. She said, “In the past, even when Senior Lin was being chased down by Soaring Feather God King he was still able to create miracles. This time Senior Lin will surely return and his strength will definitely have risen. He should have steadily reached the upper Empyrean realm, or perhaps even reached… peak Empyrean!”
Sable Ink’s eyes flashed with reverence and admiration.
There was no one in humanity that didn’t respect Lin Ming. And, Sable Ink and Lin Huang could be considered peers of the same generation. She had grown up listening to Divine Dream tell stories of Lin Ming, and when it came to respect and worship of the older generation, her fervor was naturally much more intense than that of those like Dragon Fang and Jun Bluemoon who came from Lin Ming’s generation.
Xiao Moxian couldn’t confirm this. In fact, Lin Ming’s talent and potential mainly manifested in his ability to leap past boundaries to fight.
In terms of cultivation speed, Lin Ming couldn’t be regarded as an extreme genius; he was even somewhat slower than Xiao Moxian.
When Xiao Moxian had broken into the Empyrean realm, Lin Ming had only been a half-step Empyrean; he wasn’t much faster than Lin Huang.
This was mainly because the Laws that Lin Ming cultivated were far too high and their difficulty far too great.
Now, Xiao Moxian was merely a little bit from reaching the peak Empyrean realm. It would already be wonderful if Lin Ming could reach the upper Empyrean realm.

"value": "Chapter 218: Demiplanes Warehouse\nChapter 218: Demiplanes Warehouse\nTranslator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion\nAt the end of the corridor on the thirteenth floor of Holm Royal Magic Tower, there was a heavy, gray iron door. When Rodham started the gear and opened it, Lucien could see nothing clear in the shadows behind.\n\"This place is co-owned by the Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Academy, half and half,\" Lazar said to Lucien. \"I heard that Her Excellency Hathaway’s magic tower is in this demiplane as well.\"\nAs a member of the Will of Elements, Lazar had been here before.\nEven though Lucien tried to see through the mist with his sharp sight from the power of his Blessing, he still could not identify anything there.\n\"Please, Mr. Evans,\" said Rodham very respectfully pointing the way. Obviously, he was very well-trained.\nLucien nodded, and then he walked through the gate.\nA starry sky was hiding behind the thick mist, and through the transparent crystal ceiling, the light of the stars lit up the very spacious warehouse, which spread out as far as Lucien’s eyes could see.\nHowever, there was nothing there, until Lucien, Lazar and Rodham took a step forward, as the warehouse seemed to come to life.\n\"Rodham, what do you come here for?\" A cold and emotionless voice came to them from every corner of the warehouse, making the whole atmosphere of this place serious and suffocating, as if horrible punishment for them would immediately arrive if Rodham said something wrong.\nRodham took out a piece of mysterious-looking badge drawn with signs of elements from the ancient magic empire, \"Mr. Ziderman, this badge’s from Morris, and it contains his order to you. At the same time, I believe that you can easily recognize the ring on Mr. Evans’s right hand, from Holm Crown prize.\"\n\"Oh?\" responded the cold voice, and the badge in Rodham’s hand disappeared all of a sudden. Lucien had no idea how Ziderman did this, but it seemed that doing anything in this warehouse was just a piece of cake for him.\nHonestly speaking, Lucien, with his spiritual library and all the knowledge from Earth, sometimes had less respect toward sorcerers here, however, at this time, he suddenly found himself witnessing what was happening here in this warehouse in awe. Lucien knew that he was still new to magic, and he should never be arrogant and self-satisfied.\nBut, for sure, Lucien would still continue to work on turning knowledge from the Earth into arcana and magic, because, after all, this was what he was good at, and only idiots would give up their advantages. At the same time, Lucien wanted to study soul, mentality and spiritual power as well, in order to be a qualified sorcerer.\n\"The badge has been verified. Now, Mr. Evans, you can choose anything here including potions, materials, magic items, magic circles, precious books, etc. worth of less than two thousand arcana points.\" As Ziderman was explaining, the star light gradually revealed rows and rows of shelving units with numbers. And on those units, there were countless items, and among them, some were plain-looking, and some were dazzling and shining with dream-like gloss…\nLucien felt even more excited than when he was in Maskelyne’s alchemical lab, as in the lab there were only magic materials and ingredients.\nUnder Lazar and Rodham’s guide, Lucien tried his best to calm down and first came in front of the shelving unit where countless magic robes, cloaks and hats were.\n\"Davey’s Robe (duplicate): Duplicate of Davey Rodel’s legend level magic robe, level nine high rank; Reduces buffering time of spell casting by three seconds, provides the wearer with level of defence as level six radiant knight, and increases the wearer’s spell resistance level to ninth circle. Prerequisite: The wearer’s spiritual power shall be at least of the level of seventh circle, or one would turn into an idiot.\nDavey Rodel was a member of the Highest Council.\nLucien’s eyes could not move away from this black magic robe of the ancient magic empire style. This was the best magic robe he had ever seen! Reducing buffering time of spell casting by three seconds meant that one could keep casting spells under sixth circle without any stop, so the wearer could slay his or her enemy like a powerful storm. This was definitely a robe that most sorcerers would dream to have!\nHowever, the price was beyond Lucien’s imagination. According to what Lucien knew, even the Violet family could only have a total income of eight hundred thousand Thales a year, and this robe was worth ten million arcana points.\nAt this time, Lucien saw another level seven magic robe which could reflect long-range and single-target attacks. However, he could not afford it either.\nAfter quite a while, he finally found two that might suit him: one was called Nymph and the other Transformation. Other ones were either too expensive or they were not what Lucien wanted.\nLucien checked Nymph, which worth a thousand and five hundred points, enchanted with two magic effects, Gloss and Charm, and it could provide the wearer with level of defence as a level three knight.\n\"The wearer, no matter male or female, would be super charming, and this charm can go beyond gender. Lots of great discounts would be given to the wearer, and even free gifts! Caution, pursuers can be crazy!\"\nLucien trembled a bit after reading this, and quickly put it down. Then he picked up the robe called Transformation:\n\"Level three middle rank magic robe, enchanted with Transformation, giving wearer’s level of defence as a level two knight and magic resistance as a third circle sorcerer. The wearer can transform into a mouse, an owl and a troll once a day for each.\nAssunção Philip: the body transforms, not the heart.\"\nThis robe was worth a thousand nine hundred and sixty arcana points, and it was more expensive than other robes of the same level. However, Lucien still chose it, as he knew nothing about transformation, and he felt he was not making any progresses in studying Transformation. Despite the fact that Lucien did know a bit about Anatomy, which was the prerequisite for studying Transformation, Lucien was still having a hard time in understanding how Transformation worked.\nLucien had the feeling that this robe could be very helpful for him at some point in the future.\nAfter telling Ziderman and Rodham his choice, Lucien cast Identification and left his spiritual power imprint in the robe, then put the robe on. After concentrating his spiritual power on the robe, Lucien turned the robe into a decent, black suit and a pair of leather shoes.\nUsing the rest of the forty arcana points, Lucien bought ten bottles of a dark-purple potion named Florencia’s Elixir. He planned to take one bottle for each of the following ten months to better handle the greatly improved speed of him doing meditation with the ring, Element.\nSo far, two thousand arcana points were gone. When Lucien was about to leave with Lazar and Rodham, Ziderman said to him, \"Mr. Evans, as the winner of Holm Crown prize, and a member of honor of Holm Royal Magic Academy, you’re provided with a free gift, a book.\"\nThen, a book with fine cover appeared in Lucien’s hand: Matching Magic Items, by Florencia Ranka Constantine.\nLucien leafed through the book quickly. The book was about how to prevent two magic items from affecting each other when they were too close. For example, if Lucien wanted to have a ring on each of his ten fingers, he needed to arrange them properly, or put buffering rings between the rings which did not agree with each other to mitigate the conflict. However, those were always expensive, and that was why most sorcerers only wore up to two rings on one hand.\nAfter taking one more look at the warehouse, Lucien left the place with Lazar and Rodham.\nEarly the next morning, Hexagram Station.\nWearing the long double-breasted suits of the same style, Lucien and Lazar were waiting for the train on the platform, with their hands in their pockets.\nWhistling, the dark blue train slowly stopped in front of them.\nA decently dressed middle-aged man got off the train. After staring at Lucien for a second, he quickly walked away together with other people.\nLucien and Lazar got on the train and picked two seats beside the window.\n... After leaving the platform, the middle-aged man walked even faster. When he entered a quiet and remote valley, he took out a scroll and put his face against it.\nDivine light came out from the scroll, and the man looked in great pain, but he did not make a sound. When the light disappeared, there was a transparent piece of \"paper\" in his hands, and Lucien’s picture was on it!\nThe divine spell pulled out his memory and depicted what he saw!\nThen, the man went to a remote church with the piece of paper. Sitting on the chair in the front, he started praying silently.\nAfter that, he walked out of the church, but he left the piece of paper on his seat. A pastor walked out and took it.\nThe paper was delivered at various levels and finally sent to Philibell, the cardinal of Holm parish.\n\"Lucien Evans X, the most recent winner of Holm Crown prize, looks quite young.\" He murmured.\nThen, he turned to the other cardinals and the leader of the Inquisition, \"Improve his level to ‘To Be Wiped Out’. When there’s a chance, send the night watchers to finish him, and I’ll soon send the information to the Bright Hall.\"\nAlthough Lucien was the winner of Holm Crown prize, he was not powerful and influential enough to be on the Cleansing List. Even Felipe, the winner of Immortal Throne award, did not get on the Cleansing List until he humiliated the Church right in the face.\n\"Your wish is our will,\" said Giendon humbly. \"But I’m afraid finding a chance like this is not easy. First, a promising sorcerer like him would not leave Allyn easily, and second, most middle-rank night watchers would be killed by his ring, unless we can send really good ones. But if this was the case, the Will of Elements and the congress would take their bitter revenge for sure. If there’s a chance, I want to apply for using the holy relic.\"\nThe power of Holm parish was way greater than that of Violet parish, or they would have been wiped out by the congress long ago. They had enough power to resist until they could open the portal to have support from the Holy City.\nPhilibell nodded and sighed, \"The congress never lacks young talents, even in the most recent years. We’re lucky that the popes have all been putting emphasis on improving the foundation of divine spells, so we’re not falling that behind.\"\nHearing that, the several cardinals and the leader of the Inquisition all nodded with some emotion. They felt both concerned and lucky. ...\nAllyn, on the thirty-fifth floor of the headquarter of the Congress of Magic.\nNineteen out of the twenty-four members of the Highest Council, all the seven grand arcanists, and eight out of the eleven legendary archmages were present.\n\"According to the information provided by Malfurion, several druid elders won’t work with us. So, among those druids who are visiting Allyn, some are actually from Nature Rebellion, who want to disturb our project. As some of them are actually from the royal elf family, Malfurion could only pretend that he knows nothing about it, and he wants us to handle this,\" said an old man with white hair and clear blue eyes. The old man was tall and still in good shape, and was wearing black suit and a bow tie.\n\"President Douglas, you called us here just for this?\"\nThe one who was speaking aggressively was a short, elegant-looking old man wearing a bright red robe. His hair was a mix of black and white, and his red pupils were bright and sharp."

第三十七章
()
“霍尔姆皇家魔法塔”第十三层的走廊尽头有两扇沉重的铁灰sè金属大门，随着罗德姆启动机关将它打开，里面呈现出一片灰暗的混沌。
“是元素意志和霍尔姆皇家魔法院各自拥有二分之一的半位面仓库。 据说这个半位面是海瑟薇阁下的魔法塔所在。”
拉扎尔加入元素意志后曾经来过。
路西恩努力用自己准骑士的敏锐目光往里面探望，可惜完全无法穿透那片混沌。
“伊文斯先生，请进。” 罗德姆一丝不苟地做着邀请手势，将来自王室培训的礼仪展现得淋漓尽致。
路西恩轻轻点头，没有犹豫地迈步入内。
仿佛从厚厚的一层迷雾里穿透出来，路西恩看到了满天的星辰，它穿过透明晶莹的天花板将宽阔看不见边际的仓库洒满清辉。
仓库内空旷无物，一切都凝固呆板，直到路西恩、罗德姆和拉扎尔进来才复活，重新变得生动。 “罗德姆，为什么进来。”
冰冷死板的声音从仓库的每一个角落传出，气氛立刻压抑凝重，似乎只要罗德姆回答得不对，就会有恐怖的元素风暴降临。
罗德姆拿出一枚画着古代魔法帝国元素符号的神秘徽章：“尊敬的齐德尔曼先生，这是莫里斯阁下开启仓库的信物，里面有给您的命令，同时伊文斯先生右手是霍尔姆皇冠戒指，您应该认得出来。”
“是吗？” 随着冰冷死板声音的响起，罗德姆手中的神秘徽章是陡然消失，站在他旁边的路西恩无论jīng神力、直觉感应还是视觉查看都没能发现其是如何失踪的，仿佛“齐德尔曼”在仓库内做什么都简单异常。
因为灵魂图书馆地球知识非常有用的路西恩，偶尔难免产生点轻视魔法师的情绪，但此时却油然而生对强大实力和未知的敬畏，魔法里面自己无法弄懂的知识还有很多很多。 不能骄傲自满！
不过路西恩以后的主要jīng力肯定还是继续放在将地球知识研究改变并转化为奥术和魔法上面，只有傻瓜才会放弃自己的优势和长处！ 等到优势大部分转化为实力后再来研究其他暂时不明白的魔法知识也不迟。
“核实准确。 伊文斯先生你可以挑选价值两千个奥术点的药剂、材料、独有魔法、魔法物品、魔法阵、记载稀少知识的书籍等。” 随着齐德尔曼的声音再次出现，周围那层星光带来的清辉竟然缓缓退去，露出一个接一个的魔法架、魔法柜，它们分别编号。
比在传奇魔法师马斯基林留下的魔法塔内更加心神摇曳，因为那时候只有魔法材料。
强忍住心动，怕自己兑换些奇奇怪怪的东西，路西恩赶紧根据罗德姆和拉扎尔的指点，走到了摆满衣帽架的一片地方，上面是一件件样式不同的魔法袍、斗篷和法师帽。
“达维之袍（伪），最高评议团成员‘创造者’达维?罗德尔身上传奇魔法袍的仿制品。 九级高阶，能减少三秒的施法缓冲时间，提供等于六级天骑士的防御力，增强魔法抗力到九级**师程度……需要jīng神力达到七级魔法师水准才能穿上，否则会变成白痴。
虽然只是一件仿制的魔法袍。
第一件外形酷似古代魔法帝国风格的带兜帽黑sè长袍就差点闪瞎路西恩的眼睛，这是自己见过的最好魔法袍！ 光是减少三秒的施法缓冲时间就能让六级以下魔法毫不间断地施展，在jīng神力消耗完前如同狂风暴雨般摧毁敌人，而六级及以上的魔法施法缓冲时间也会大大减少，实在是一位真正魔法师梦寐以求的物品。
但那价格实在匪夷所思，据路西恩所知紫罗兰家族从自身直属领地的收入加上公国税收一年也才八十万个金塔勒（尚未扣掉支出），这已经是能够排在前列的大家族了。
将自己的眼睛从这件魔法袍拔起，路西恩又看到了能够反弹远程攻击和单体伤害魔法的七级镜面魔法袍等让人热血沸腾的装备。
过了好久，路西恩才找到两件适合自己身家财产和等级的魔法袍：“水妖jīng魔法袍”和“变形法袍”其他魔法袍要么太贵，要么效果不适合。
其中水妖jīng魔法袍只价值一千五百个奥术点，恒定“光彩万丈”、“魅力逼人”两个魔法效果和三级骑士的防御能力。
“穿上这件魔法袍的魔法师，无论男士还是女士，都会变得魅力非凡，受到异xìng的疯狂追捧，在他们手中买东西时往往会享受到令人难以置信的折扣甚至倒贴。
看完介绍后，路西恩不寒而栗，觉得自己魅力似乎还不错，于是将它放下，拿起“变形法袍”。
“三级中阶魔法袍，恒定‘外观变形能力’，并提供三环魔法师的魔法抗力与二级骑士的防御能力，同时每天可以变形为老鼠、猫头鹰、巨魔各一次。”
“变化的是外形，不变的是内心。
这件“变形法袍”价值一千九百六十个奥术点，算是同等级魔法物品里比较昂贵的，但路西恩想了想，还是决定选择它，因为它从某个方面弥补了自己的短板。 到了魔法议会后，路西恩借了不少图书，里面就有变化派系的魔法知识，可惜涉及人体变形的部分。
路西恩只需要激发它就可以得到变形的能力，在某些时候可能起到至关重要的作用。
告诉齐德尔曼和罗德姆之后，路西恩施展鉴定术，留下jīng神力烙印，将变形法袍穿在身上，然后jīng神力一动，将这件古代魔法帝国风格的长袍变成了黑sè双排扣长礼服带裤子、皮鞋。
路西恩又兑换了十瓶帮助灵魂和jīng神力稳固的深紫sè药剂“弗洛伦莎的灵药”，打算一个月服用一瓶，弥补“元素”戒指加持下冥想效率快速提升后的基础不稳。
二千个奥术点一眨眼就用完，路西恩刚要招呼拉扎尔和罗德姆离开，齐德尔曼的声音就再次响起：“伊文斯先生。 由于你是霍尔姆皇冠奖获得者，是霍尔姆皇家魔法院名誉会员，所以还能得到一件随机赠品。
说完，路西恩手中自然而然浮现一本封面典雅好看不似其他书籍古板的图书：《魔法物品搭配学》，作者：弗洛伦莎?兰卡?康斯坦丁。
路西恩随意翻了翻，里面是讲述如何避免两个魔法物品靠得太近以至于互相影响的学问，比如路西恩想在十根手指上都戴满戒指，就需要将两个冲突的魔法戒指离得远远的，而中间放上能缓冲的戒指。 由于找到类似合适搭配很困难以及魔法物品的昂贵，所以绝大部分魔法师们最多一只手戴两枚魔法戒指，并且是不冲突的。
深深地看了眼这宝藏般的仓库，路西恩和拉扎尔跟随罗德姆离开了半位面。
第二天一大早，六芒星站台。
路西恩和拉扎尔穿着相同款式的黑sè双排扣长礼服，戴着一样的黑sè高礼帽，双手插在口袋里，站得笔直地等待着魔法蒸汽列车的到来。
尖锐的汽笛声传来，深蓝sè的魔法蒸汽列车停在两人面前。
车上下来了一位穿着得体的中年普通男士，他抬头深深地看了路西恩一眼，然后和其他人一起快步走出站台。
路西恩和拉扎尔慢慢踱步上去，坐在窗边的位置。
离开站台，这中年普通男士步伐愈发得快，到了一条偏僻的小巷后，他拿出一张卷轴撕开，贴在自己的脸上。
堂皇神圣的圣光亮起，这男士双手青筋冒出，似乎非常痛苦，但他忍耐了下来，直到光芒消失，手中多了一张透明的“纸”。 “纸”上是他刚才看到的路西恩影像。
这个神术竟然将他眼光所见的事物提取了出来！
然后他将这张纸裹住，来到一间偏僻的教堂，坐在前排的椅子上安静祈祷。
祈祷完毕，他神sè平静安详地离开，而那张纸却留在了旁边的座位，让走出来的牧师拿到。
这张纸经过层层传递，最终出现在了霍尔姆教区枢机主教菲力贝尔手中。
“这就是霍尔姆皇冠奖的最新得主路西恩?伊文斯?X？ 似乎很年轻啊。”
他转头对面前的红衣主教和裁判所巨头道：“将他的等级提升为消灭级，如果有机会，就派出守夜人清理他，同时我会等到最近一次资料累积足够，一起传递给圣城大光明厅。”
虽然是霍尔姆皇冠奖得主，可路西恩本身实力低微又没做出什么轰动的事情，还没有资格进入净化序列，就连费利佩这位不朽王座获得者都是在狠狠地扫了教会颜面后才得以“晋升”。
“您的意志就是我们的意愿。” 裁判所巨头格林顿谦卑地道，“但要消灭他很难，一方面这种有潜力的魔法师肯定会留在阿林厄附近学习，没有机会，另外一方面派出中阶的守夜人会被他的霍尔姆皇冠戒指杀死，除非是红衣主教级别的守夜人。 可那样会面对元素意志和魔法议会的加倍报复。
如果有机会，我想申请使用圣物。” 霍尔姆教区的整体实力比瓦欧里特教区强大几倍，要不然早就被魔法议会彻底消灭了。
他们有足够的能力支撑到传送阵开启，圣城来援。 菲力贝尔点了点头，轻轻叹息：“魔法议会最近几十年还是有那么多天才。
提到教皇改造神术，几位红衣主教、裁判所巨头都流露少许复杂情绪，有茫然也有庆幸。
阿林厄，魔法议会总部第三十五层。
最高评议团二十四位成员来了十九位，七位大奥术师全部到齐，十一位传奇魔法师到了八位。
“根据玛法里奥传递过来的情报，几位德鲁伊长老不愿意与我们合作，因此在前来的德鲁伊里面掺杂了不少‘自然憎恨派’的成员，想要进行破坏，而且里面有几位是jīng灵皇室的直系血脉，玛法里奥只能装做不知道，让我们来处理。”
“道格拉斯议长，你就是为了这点连问题都算不上的事情召集我们前来？”
说话的是一位穿着鲜艳红sè长袍的矮个俊雅老头，他一头银发夹杂不少黑丝，红sè瞳孔明亮有神，咄咄逼人。

Chapter 218: Demiplanes Warehouse
Chapter 218: Demiplanes Warehouse
Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion
At the end of the corridor on the thirteenth floor of Holm Royal Magic Tower, there was a heavy, gray iron door. When Rodham started the gear and opened it, Lucien could see nothing clear in the shadows behind.
"This place is co-owned by the Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Academy, half and half," Lazar said to Lucien. "I heard that Her Excellency Hathaway’s magic tower is in this demiplane as well."
As a member of the Will of Elements, Lazar had been here before.
Even though Lucien tried to see through the mist with his sharp sight from the power of his Blessing, he still could not identify anything there.
"Please, Mr. Evans," said Rodham very respectfully pointing the way. Obviously, he was very well-trained.
Lucien nodded, and then he walked through the gate.
A starry sky was hiding behind the thick mist, and through the transparent crystal ceiling, the light of the stars lit up the very spacious warehouse, which spread out as far as Lucien’s eyes could see.
However, there was nothing there, until Lucien, Lazar and Rodham took a step forward, as the warehouse seemed to come to life.
"Rodham, what do you come here for?" A cold and emotionless voice came to them from every corner of the warehouse, making the whole atmosphere of this place serious and suffocating, as if horrible punishment for them would immediately arrive if Rodham said something wrong.
Rodham took out a piece of mysterious-looking badge drawn with signs of elements from the ancient magic empire, "Mr. Ziderman, this badge’s from Morris, and it contains his order to you. At the same time, I believe that you can easily recognize the ring on Mr. Evans’s right hand, from Holm Crown prize."
"Oh?" responded the cold voice, and the badge in Rodham’s hand disappeared all of a sudden. Lucien had no idea how Ziderman did this, but it seemed that doing anything in this warehouse was just a piece of cake for him.
Honestly speaking, Lucien, with his spiritual library and all the knowledge from Earth, sometimes had less respect toward sorcerers here, however, at this time, he suddenly found himself witnessing what was happening here in this warehouse in awe. Lucien knew that he was still new to magic, and he should never be arrogant and self-satisfied.
But, for sure, Lucien would still continue to work on turning knowledge from the Earth into arcana and magic, because, after all, this was what he was good at, and only idiots would give up their advantages. At the same time, Lucien wanted to study soul, mentality and spiritual power as well, in order to be a qualified sorcerer.
"The badge has been verified. Now, Mr. Evans, you can choose anything here including potions, materials, magic items, magic circles, precious books, etc. worth of less than two thousand arcana points." As Ziderman was explaining, the star light gradually revealed rows and rows of shelving units with numbers. And on those units, there were countless items, and among them, some were plain-looking, and some were dazzling and shining with dream-like gloss…
Lucien felt even more excited than when he was in Maskelyne’s alchemical lab, as in the lab there were only magic materials and ingredients.
Under Lazar and Rodham’s guide, Lucien tried his best to calm down and first came in front of the shelving unit where countless magic robes, cloaks and hats were.
"Davey’s Robe (duplicate): Duplicate of Davey Rodel’s legend level magic robe, level nine high rank; Reduces buffering time of spell casting by three seconds, provides the wearer with level of defence as level six radiant knight, and increases the wearer’s spell resistance level to ninth circle. Prerequisite: The wearer’s spiritual power shall be at least of the level of seventh circle, or one would turn into an idiot.
Davey Rodel was a member of the Highest Council.
Lucien’s eyes could not move away from this black magic robe of the ancient magic empire style. This was the best magic robe he had ever seen! Reducing buffering time of spell casting by three seconds meant that one could keep casting spells under sixth circle without any stop, so the wearer could slay his or her enemy like a powerful storm. This was definitely a robe that most sorcerers would dream to have!
However, the price was beyond Lucien’s imagination. According to what Lucien knew, even the Violet family could only have a total income of eight hundred thousand Thales a year, and this robe was worth ten million arcana points.
At this time, Lucien saw another level seven magic robe which could reflect long-range and single-target attacks. However, he could not afford it either.
After quite a while, he finally found two that might suit him: one was called Nymph and the other Transformation. Other ones were either too expensive or they were not what Lucien wanted.
Lucien checked Nymph, which worth a thousand and five hundred points, enchanted with two magic effects, Gloss and Charm, and it could provide the wearer with level of defence as a level three knight.
"The wearer, no matter male or female, would be super charming, and this charm can go beyond gender. Lots of great discounts would be given to the wearer, and even free gifts! Caution, pursuers can be crazy!"
Lucien trembled a bit after reading this, and quickly put it down. Then he picked up the robe called Transformation:
"Level three middle rank magic robe, enchanted with Transformation, giving wearer’s level of defence as a level two knight and magic resistance as a third circle sorcerer. The wearer can transform into a mouse, an owl and a troll once a day for each.
Assunção Philip: the body transforms, not the heart."
This robe was worth a thousand nine hundred and sixty arcana points, and it was more expensive than other robes of the same level. However, Lucien still chose it, as he knew nothing about transformation, and he felt he was not making any progresses in studying Transformation. Despite the fact that Lucien did know a bit about Anatomy, which was the prerequisite for studying Transformation, Lucien was still having a hard time in understanding how Transformation worked.
Lucien had the feeling that this robe could be very helpful for him at some point in the future.
After telling Ziderman and Rodham his choice, Lucien cast Identification and left his spiritual power imprint in the robe, then put the robe on. After concentrating his spiritual power on the robe, Lucien turned the robe into a decent, black suit and a pair of leather shoes.
Using the rest of the forty arcana points, Lucien bought ten bottles of a dark-purple potion named Florencia’s Elixir. He planned to take one bottle for each of the following ten months to better handle the greatly improved speed of him doing meditation with the ring, Element.
So far, two thousand arcana points were gone. When Lucien was about to leave with Lazar and Rodham, Ziderman said to him, "Mr. Evans, as the winner of Holm Crown prize, and a member of honor of Holm Royal Magic Academy, you’re provided with a free gift, a book."
Then, a book with fine cover appeared in Lucien’s hand: Matching Magic Items, by Florencia Ranka Constantine.
Lucien leafed through the book quickly. The book was about how to prevent two magic items from affecting each other when they were too close. For example, if Lucien wanted to have a ring on each of his ten fingers, he needed to arrange them properly, or put buffering rings between the rings which did not agree with each other to mitigate the conflict. However, those were always expensive, and that was why most sorcerers only wore up to two rings on one hand.
After taking one more look at the warehouse, Lucien left the place with Lazar and Rodham.
Early the next morning, Hexagram Station.
Wearing the long double-breasted suits of the same style, Lucien and Lazar were waiting for the train on the platform, with their hands in their pockets.
Whistling, the dark blue train slowly stopped in front of them.
A decently dressed middle-aged man got off the train. After staring at Lucien for a second, he quickly walked away together with other people.
Lucien and Lazar got on the train and picked two seats beside the window.
... After leaving the platform, the middle-aged man walked even faster. When he entered a quiet and remote valley, he took out a scroll and put his face against it.
Divine light came out from the scroll, and the man looked in great pain, but he did not make a sound. When the light disappeared, there was a transparent piece of "paper" in his hands, and Lucien’s picture was on it!
The divine spell pulled out his memory and depicted what he saw!
Then, the man went to a remote church with the piece of paper. Sitting on the chair in the front, he started praying silently.
After that, he walked out of the church, but he left the piece of paper on his seat. A pastor walked out and took it.
The paper was delivered at various levels and finally sent to Philibell, the cardinal of Holm parish.
"Lucien Evans X, the most recent winner of Holm Crown prize, looks quite young." He murmured.
Then, he turned to the other cardinals and the leader of the Inquisition, "Improve his level to ‘To Be Wiped Out’. When there’s a chance, send the night watchers to finish him, and I’ll soon send the information to the Bright Hall."
Although Lucien was the winner of Holm Crown prize, he was not powerful and influential enough to be on the Cleansing List. Even Felipe, the winner of Immortal Throne award, did not get on the Cleansing List until he humiliated the Church right in the face.
"Your wish is our will," said Giendon humbly. "But I’m afraid finding a chance like this is not easy. First, a promising sorcerer like him would not leave Allyn easily, and second, most middle-rank night watchers would be killed by his ring, unless we can send really good ones. But if this was the case, the Will of Elements and the congress would take their bitter revenge for sure. If there’s a chance, I want to apply for using the holy relic."
The power of Holm parish was way greater than that of Violet parish, or they would have been wiped out by the congress long ago. They had enough power to resist until they could open the portal to have support from the Holy City.
Philibell nodded and sighed, "The congress never lacks young talents, even in the most recent years. We’re lucky that the popes have all been putting emphasis on improving the foundation of divine spells, so we’re not falling that behind."
Hearing that, the several cardinals and the leader of the Inquisition all nodded with some emotion. They felt both concerned and lucky. ...
Allyn, on the thirty-fifth floor of the headquarter of the Congress of Magic.
Nineteen out of the twenty-four members of the Highest Council, all the seven grand arcanists, and eight out of the eleven legendary archmages were present.
"According to the information provided by Malfurion, several druid elders won’t work with us. So, among those druids who are visiting Allyn, some are actually from Nature Rebellion, who want to disturb our project. As some of them are actually from the royal elf family, Malfurion could only pretend that he knows nothing about it, and he wants us to handle this," said an old man with white hair and clear blue eyes. The old man was tall and still in good shape, and was wearing black suit and a bow tie.
"President Douglas, you called us here just for this?"
The one who was speaking aggressively was a short, elegant-looking old man wearing a bright red robe. His hair was a mix of black and white, and his red pupils were bright and sharp.

"value": "Chapter 5- Recruitment\nNew year passed, and the eldest young master of He family married Cheng family’s girl, who had entered the clan.\nHowever, this new year, what caused people to sigh in admiration was, in fact, the sixth young master’s performance. In this new year, all the servants surprisingly discovered that sixth young master’s position in the clan was already comparable to that of He Quanxin, the eldest Lord. Even the Lord Master He Wude, whenever he looked at He Yiming, his face broke out in smiles. Regardless of whatever requests the latter made, he would happily comply without any questions, and the rebuke seemed to be a thing of the past.\nThe rest of the third generation disciples in the manor also seemed to have gradually adapted to this transformation, and they acted quite reserved before the sixth young master.\nThe cause of all this was precisely the evaluation of ‘peerless genius’ that came out of Lin Taoli’s mouth.\nThis evaluation, coupled with He Yiming’s display of ninth layer Internal Energy, allowed He Yiming’s fame to reach a new height- unmatched in the entire He manor except for He Wude.\nHowever, they didn’t expect that their magnificent, omnipotent genius, at this moment, was miserably tangling with the problem of imprint techniques.\nIn accordance with Prostrate Imprint, he’d produced a new, modified Hidden Needle Imprint. Although it had not been tested through actual battle, anyhow, it had been produced.\nHowever, regarding the other, more profound one- Rain Cloud Imprint, he felt as if his hands had been tied.\nAlthough Rain Cloud Imprint left behind a more profound impression on He Yiming, the situation regarding this imprint was unlike that of Prostrate Imprint. During his battle with Lin Taoli, He Yiming had come in direct contact with the former imprint only once. The rest of the time, he repeatedly suffered the offense of this imprint, but his gains were comparably nothing.\nAfter returning to the manor, he even thought of returning to the county town and having another match with Lin Taoli.\nOf course, this line of thinking was merely an imagination of his active brain.\nAlthough he desired to fight again, he knew quite clearly that if he really did that, what awaited him next was an endless torrent of complaints from the clan.\nLightly sighing, He Yiming, who had been hiding in the underground training room, unwittingly formed the self-created Hidden Needle Imprint while he contemplated on the Rain Cloud Imprint.\nSuddenly, he heard the sharp, crisp sound of the little bell.\nHe Yiming astoundedly shifted his vision. He was no longer that former sixth young master.\nIn his underground training room, even He Wude didn’t dare make sudden sounds to call him.\nHis brows faintly creased, ‘Could it be…the manor has suffered something life threatening? Otherwise, who could be so brave as to pull the bell and disturb my cultivation?’\nHis figure faintly flickered, leaving the room.\nAfter all, he was a descendant of He family. If the clan had truly encountered some big problem, he wouldn’t hesitate to help at all.\nAs soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he immediately saw his fifth brother, He Yizhang.\nBefore he attained the sixth layer, his relationship with his fifth brother was like fire and water. However, strangely, as his strength shot upwards like a rocket, the relationship between them turned quite harmonious.\nAs the difference in their strength grew, their past grievances disappeared in air like smoke.\nFor He Yiming, this had already turned into one of his rare childhood memories which he clearly remembered.\nWhile in He Yizhang’s eyes, the current He Yiming had already gone past the heights which he could attain. Currently, he didn’t dare to be even jealous. Imagine a friend at your side. If he excels you by a certain margin, you would perhaps feel jealous. However, if he becomes a mayor or governor, how could an ordinary man feel jealous. Even the past enmity and grudges would unwittingly dissipate.\n“Fifth brother, is there something?” He Yiming faintly smiled.\nHe Yizhang severely nodded and said, “Sixth brother, grandfather asked you to come over. He said it’s the Cheng family- someone named young master Lin Taoli is here.”\n“Lin Taoli?” A pleasantly surprised expression emerged in He Yiming’s eyes. His figure flashed and disappeared, leaving behind his voice, “Fifth brother, I am going first.”\nHe had just been plotting whether to look for a opportunity of exchanging pointers with Lin Taoli again or not. This guy decided to come on his own accord, which obviously elated He Yiming.\nSeeing He Yiming disappear like ghost, He Yizhang sucked in a breadth of cold air while feeling increasingly helpless at the same time. At this point he’d completely given up on surpassing his sixth brother.\nHe Yiming, who had spent all his childhood in this manor, could find his way even if he had his eyes closed.\nAfter a few turns, he arrived in the main hall. He knew that his grandfather would welcome an important guest here.\nAs soon as He Yiming entered, his vision fell on the guest seat where Lin Taoli sat. His eyes shined as he said, “How fortunate brother Lin, were you thinking of having another round with me?”\nLin Taoli who sat as steady as Mt. Tai stared blankly for a moment before bitterly smiling, “Brother He, you sure can crack jokes.”\nHe sighed inwardly. Before, if someone had told him that he would adress a fifteen year old youngster as his brother, he wouldn’t have believed. However, as he looked at the current He Yiming, he could faintly guess how a youngster could possess such powerful strength.\nPerhaps, his world is completely pure and simple. The pursuit of martial dao constituted the entirety of his world. As such, he could abandon everything else and reach his current realm.\nAt this moment, he truly began to somewhat admire and envy He Yiming.\nBorn into a small clan, one wouldn’t be able to enjoy various cultivation facilities and would also be restricted in availability of techniques. However, in such a family, one would be able to completely immerse himself in cultivation and need not worry about the affairs of clan, or an internal strife. This may be considered a sort of blessing as well.\nHe Wude gently coughed. Feeling like laughing and crying at the same time, he said, “Yiming, don’t be rude. Young master Lin has specifically come your to meet you in person.”\nHe Yiming faintly started, then involuntarily asked, “Brother Lin, you are going back?”\n“Yes,” Lin Taoli sighed, “Originally, I intended to stay here for a few days. However, something has happened in the clan. Thus, I must go back.”\nHe Yiming’s face looked quite regretful. This expression came from the innermost section of his heart. It didn’t have the slightest pretense, which immediately moved Lin Taoli greatly and even lead him to think that this youngster considered him as close as a real brother.\nIf he were to know that He Yiming only felt regret due to the fact that he wouldn’t be able to study Rain Cloud Imprint once he left, he would immediately break off all ties with him on the spot and stay far away from him all his life.\n“Brother He, we felt a connection since we first saw each other. If you still feel as such, why don’t you try spending some time in Jadeting city?” Lin Taoli invited in quite a hospitable manner.\nSitting on the principal seat, Lord Master He Wude’s complexion transformed momentarily before resuming its original appearance.\nHe’d not lived his entire life being an idiot. He immediately understood that the former wished to recruit He family’s future star.\nHowever, unfortunately, the Lord Master would never allow it.\nBefore the old man could even speak his mouth, He Yiming unhesitatingly said, “Brother Lin, at present, my heart is set solely on cultivation. I don’t want to go outside and distract myself.”\nLin Taoli faintly smiled and said, “Brother He, as a fellow cultivator, I will absolutely not distract you. Moreover, I promise you that if you are willing to become an Enforce Elder of our Lin family, our clan’s martial art’s storehouse will unconditionally be open for you.”\nHe’d already determined that He Yiming was a martial lunatic. Therefore, he’d immediately pulled out the move that could express his sincerity to the greatest extent.\nLin family had been passed on through millennials. The gigantic martial arts collection they possessed could move any martial artist’s heart.\nSure enough, He Yiming’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Does Lin family’s storehouse has your Prostrate Imprint and Rain Cloud Imprint?’\n“Yes, and not only these two techniques,” Lin Taoli calmly said, “Imprint techniques are actually a whole set of techniques among Xiantian battle skills. But every individual’s constitution is distinct. Those who can cultivate in Xiantian techniques are already extremely rare- learning the entire set in the houtain realm is simply not possible. I’ve nearly cultivated in imprint techniques for a full ten years but have only managed to learn two of its styles. I wonder how many brother He would be able to learn…”\nHe Yiming opened his mouth- extremely desirous of telling the former that he could definitely learn the entire set.\nHowever, he forced it back down his throat. He turned his head and carefully observed his grandfather. His heart was already moved. Now, all he needed to do was observe his grandfather’s attitude.\nHe Wude took a deep breath and said, “Young master Lin, we appreciate your kind intentions.”\nLin Taoli’s complexion slightly changed as he said, “Lord Master, I know this seems somewhat rude. However, we have no intention of snatching He Yiming from you, and only wish for him to become an Enforce Elder of the Lin clan. He could still inherit He family.”\nHe Wude shook his head and said, “You misunderstood, young master Lin”. He bitterly laughed, “To tell you the truth, you might know that He manor was laid out by this old man forty years ago, relying on this old man’s blade. However, do you know where this old man was before that?”\nLin Taoli’s expression turned grave as he said, “I would very much like to know.”\nHe Wude stood up and cupped his hand towards a certain direction, “Before coming here, this old man was a registered disciple of Hong Mountain.”"

第五章
新年已过，贺家庄的大少爷也将程家女儿娶进了家门。
不过在这一个新年中，最令人惊叹的却还是贺家六少爷的表现。 新年过后，整个贺家的家丁们都发现，六少爷在家中的地位，甚至于已经可以与贺荃信大老爷相比了，纵然是老祖宗贺武德，每次见到贺一鸣都是满面笑容，无论他提出任何要求，都是毫不犹豫的答应，连一点儿的重话都不再提及了。
庄子中的其余三代子弟们似乎也慢慢的接受了这个变化，在六少爷的面前，都变得拘谨了许多。
这一切的原因，就是因为林涛栗亲口评价的绝代天才这几个字。
正是这几个字，和他的第九层内劲表现，让贺一鸣的威望达到了一个新的高度，在贺家庄中，仅次于贺武德一人了。
然而，没有人想到，在他们心目中仿佛是无所不能的，最伟大的天才此刻正愁眉苦脸的思考着有关于手印功法的问题。
根据伏地印，他创造出了一个改良版的藏针印。 虽然没有经过实战的考验，但好歹是创造出来了。
但是对于另一种更加诡异的云雨印，他却是有着一种束手无策之感。
但是与伏地印多次接触的不同，贺一鸣正式与云雨印交锋，只不过仅有一次的经验而已。 其余的时候，虽然挨过了多次的云雨印攻击，但是所获得经验却是微乎其微。
在回到了贺家本庄之后，他甚至于产生了一种想要返回县城，再度与林涛栗放手一搏的想法。
当然，这种想法只不过是在他的脑海中转了一圈，并没有真的付诸于行动。
虽然他很想要再度打上一场，但他却更知道，如果真的这样做了，那么等待他的，将会是家族中如同狂风骤雨般的埋怨。
轻轻的叹了一口气，贺一鸣躲到了地下密室之中，双手无意识的演练着他所创造出来的藏针印，并且思考着那神奇的云雨印。
突然，耳中听到了一阵清脆的铃铛之声。
贺一鸣讶然的看了过去，如今的他已经不再是以前的那个六少爷了。
一旦他进入了地下密室中修炼，那么纵然是贺武德亲至，也不会拉动绳索叫唤他。
眉头微微一皱，莫非是庄中发生了什么生死存亡的大事？ 否则又怎么会有人冒着打扰自己的修炼而拉动绳索呢。
他的身形微微闪动，下一刻已经离开了密室。
他毕竟是贺家子孙，若是贺家真的遇到了什么难以解决的事情，那么他绝对不会介意帮上一把的。
刚刚来到了院落之中，他立即看到了五哥贺一璋。
在他尚未进阶第六层内劲之时，五哥贺一璋与他之间的关系简直就是势同水火。 但是说也奇怪，当他实力以火箭一般的速度提升之时，他们之间的关系反而奇异的和睦了起来。
随着彼此之间的差距越来越大，那种相互仇视的感觉早就是烟消云散了。
对于贺一鸣来说，这已经是一个留在了记忆中的难得回忆，算得上是童年中的一个调剂品了。
而在贺一璋的眼中，如今的贺一鸣已经是一个高不可攀的存在，他甚至于已经没有了妒忌的勇气。 正如身边的朋友，若是他的收入比你高一倍，你会去妒忌他，但若是他成为了高高在上的市长，甚至于是省长之时，那么一般人就不会有什么妒忌的了，就算是以前有什么怨恨，也会在不知不觉中自然消散。
“五哥，有事么？” 贺一鸣微笑着问道。
贺一璋重重一点头，道：“六弟，爷爷请你过去，说是程府来人，一个叫做林涛栗的公子。”
“林涛栗？” 贺一鸣双目中露出了一丝惊喜之色，他的身形一晃，顿时消失在原地：“五哥，我先过去了。”
他正在打算是否找机会再与林涛栗切磋一场，这家伙就已经先行来到了，自然是让贺一鸣喜出望外了。
看到贺一鸣的身形如鬼似魅的消失了，贺一璋在倒抽了一口冷气的同时，心中也是愈发的无奈了。
对于从小在这里长大的贺家庄，贺一鸣就算是闭着眼睛也能摸到路。
贺一鸣刚刚进入正厅，立即看到了坐在客位上的林涛栗。
他的眼睛一亮，道：“林兄来的正好，是想要与我再比试一番的么？”
坐在了厅中安稳如山的林涛栗一怔，随即面现苦笑，道：“贺兄说笑了。”
他心中感叹，若是以前有人告诉自己，他会心甘情愿的和一个年仅十五岁的少年称兄道弟，那么他肯定不信。 但是如今再看看贺一鸣，他突然有些明白，这个少年为何会拥有那么强大的实力了。
或许，在他的世界中十分的单纯，对于武道的追求，已经充满了他的世界，所以他才能够抛开一切，才能够达到今日的这般境界。
在这一瞬间，他还真有些羡慕贺一鸣。
出生于小世家之中，虽然不可能享受到大世家的种种便利的修炼条件，修炼的功法也会有着极大的限制。 但是在这样的世家之中，却可以专心致志，将所有的一切心思都投入到修炼之中，而不必为了家族中的事情操心，更无需为了族中内斗而分心，这也未尝不是一种幸福呢。
贺武德轻咳一声，哭笑不得的道：“一鸣，不得无礼，林公子此来，是专程见你一面的。”
贺一鸣微怔，下意识的道：“林兄，你要回去了？”
林涛栗长叹一声，道：“本来是想要在这里多停留一段时间，但是家族中发生了一些事情，所以要赶回去处理一下。”
贺一鸣满脸的遗憾，他这个表情完全发自于内心，而没有丝毫的伪装，顿时让林涛栗大为感动，还以为这个少年已经将他视为至亲好友了。
若是让他知道，贺一鸣只不过是因为他走了之后，就再也无法打云雨印的主意而感到失望的话，那么肯定会当场割袍断义，老死不相往来了。
“贺兄，我们二个一见如故，若是你不嫌弃的话，不妨来琳琅郡城暂住一段时间如何？” 林涛栗盛情的邀请着。
坐在首席上的贺武德老爷子眼神豁然一变，随即就恢复了正常。
他老人家这数十年可不是白活的，立即就明白了林涛栗的心思，他是想要招揽贺家的明日之星。
不过很可惜的是，老爷子却绝对不会答允此事的。
未等他老人家开口，贺一鸣已经是毫不犹豫的道：“林兄，我现在一门心思想要修炼，不想因为外出而有所耽搁。”
林涛栗微笑着道：“贺兄，与我同行，绝对不会耽搁你的。 而且我向你承诺，你若是愿意成为我们林家的长老护法，那么林家的武学库将会无条件向你开放。”
他已经认定了贺一鸣是一位武痴，是以立即拿出了最大的诚意。
林家可是千年世家，所拥有的武学库何等之庞大，足以让任何练武成痴之人为之心动了。
果然，贺一鸣的眼睛愈发的明亮了，他问道：“林家武学库中，是否有你的伏地印和云雨印？”
“没错，而且还并不止这二种印法。” 林涛栗平静的道：“手印功法本来是一整套的先天战技，但是每一个人的体质不同，能够修炼先天战技的就已经是凤毛麟角了，想要在后天境界将那一套功法全部学完，那是决无可能之事。 我练了近十年的手印功法，却也仅仅掌握了其中二式，就不知道贺兄能够学成几式了。”
贺一鸣张了张嘴，他十分想要告诉对方，自己保证能够全部学会。
但是这句话在嘴边打了一个转，顿时咽了下去。 回过头来，贺一鸣的目光紧紧的望向了爷爷，他已经心动了，就看老爷子的态度了。
贺武德长长的叹息了一声，突地道：“林公子，您的好意，我们心领了。”
林涛栗脸色微微一变，随后道：“老爷子，我知道这样做有些莽撞，请您原谅，我们并没有抢夺贺兄的意思，而且就算贺兄成为了林家的长老护法，也同样可以继承贺家传承啊。”
贺武德摇了摇头，道：“林公子，您误会了。” 他苦笑一声，道：“说实话吧，您应该知道贺家庄是老夫在四十年前，就凭一把大关刀打下的基业。 但是您可知道，在此之前，老夫是哪里人么？”
林涛栗神情凝重的道：“正要请教。”
贺武德站了起来，朝着远方一拱手，道：“老夫来此之前，是横山记名弟子。”

Chapter 5- Recruitment
New year passed, and the eldest young master of He family married Cheng family’s girl, who had entered the clan.
However, this new year, what caused people to sigh in admiration was, in fact, the sixth young master’s performance. In this new year, all the servants surprisingly discovered that sixth young master’s position in the clan was already comparable to that of He Quanxin, the eldest Lord. Even the Lord Master He Wude, whenever he looked at He Yiming, his face broke out in smiles. Regardless of whatever requests the latter made, he would happily comply without any questions, and the rebuke seemed to be a thing of the past.
The rest of the third generation disciples in the manor also seemed to have gradually adapted to this transformation, and they acted quite reserved before the sixth young master.
The cause of all this was precisely the evaluation of ‘peerless genius’ that came out of Lin Taoli’s mouth.
This evaluation, coupled with He Yiming’s display of ninth layer Internal Energy, allowed He Yiming’s fame to reach a new height- unmatched in the entire He manor except for He Wude.
However, they didn’t expect that their magnificent, omnipotent genius, at this moment, was miserably tangling with the problem of imprint techniques.
In accordance with Prostrate Imprint, he’d produced a new, modified Hidden Needle Imprint. Although it had not been tested through actual battle, anyhow, it had been produced.
However, regarding the other, more profound one- Rain Cloud Imprint, he felt as if his hands had been tied.
Although Rain Cloud Imprint left behind a more profound impression on He Yiming, the situation regarding this imprint was unlike that of Prostrate Imprint. During his battle with Lin Taoli, He Yiming had come in direct contact with the former imprint only once. The rest of the time, he repeatedly suffered the offense of this imprint, but his gains were comparably nothing.
After returning to the manor, he even thought of returning to the county town and having another match with Lin Taoli.
Of course, this line of thinking was merely an imagination of his active brain.
Although he desired to fight again, he knew quite clearly that if he really did that, what awaited him next was an endless torrent of complaints from the clan.
Lightly sighing, He Yiming, who had been hiding in the underground training room, unwittingly formed the self-created Hidden Needle Imprint while he contemplated on the Rain Cloud Imprint.
Suddenly, he heard the sharp, crisp sound of the little bell.
He Yiming astoundedly shifted his vision. He was no longer that former sixth young master.
In his underground training room, even He Wude didn’t dare make sudden sounds to call him.
His brows faintly creased, ‘Could it be…the manor has suffered something life threatening? Otherwise, who could be so brave as to pull the bell and disturb my cultivation?’
His figure faintly flickered, leaving the room.
After all, he was a descendant of He family. If the clan had truly encountered some big problem, he wouldn’t hesitate to help at all.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he immediately saw his fifth brother, He Yizhang.
Before he attained the sixth layer, his relationship with his fifth brother was like fire and water. However, strangely, as his strength shot upwards like a rocket, the relationship between them turned quite harmonious.
As the difference in their strength grew, their past grievances disappeared in air like smoke.
For He Yiming, this had already turned into one of his rare childhood memories which he clearly remembered.
While in He Yizhang’s eyes, the current He Yiming had already gone past the heights which he could attain. Currently, he didn’t dare to be even jealous. Imagine a friend at your side. If he excels you by a certain margin, you would perhaps feel jealous. However, if he becomes a mayor or governor, how could an ordinary man feel jealous. Even the past enmity and grudges would unwittingly dissipate.
“Fifth brother, is there something?” He Yiming faintly smiled.
He Yizhang severely nodded and said, “Sixth brother, grandfather asked you to come over. He said it’s the Cheng family- someone named young master Lin Taoli is here.”
“Lin Taoli?” A pleasantly surprised expression emerged in He Yiming’s eyes. His figure flashed and disappeared, leaving behind his voice, “Fifth brother, I am going first.”
He had just been plotting whether to look for a opportunity of exchanging pointers with Lin Taoli again or not. This guy decided to come on his own accord, which obviously elated He Yiming.
Seeing He Yiming disappear like ghost, He Yizhang sucked in a breadth of cold air while feeling increasingly helpless at the same time. At this point he’d completely given up on surpassing his sixth brother.
He Yiming, who had spent all his childhood in this manor, could find his way even if he had his eyes closed.
After a few turns, he arrived in the main hall. He knew that his grandfather would welcome an important guest here.
As soon as He Yiming entered, his vision fell on the guest seat where Lin Taoli sat. His eyes shined as he said, “How fortunate brother Lin, were you thinking of having another round with me?”
Lin Taoli who sat as steady as Mt. Tai stared blankly for a moment before bitterly smiling, “Brother He, you sure can crack jokes.”
He sighed inwardly. Before, if someone had told him that he would adress a fifteen year old youngster as his brother, he wouldn’t have believed. However, as he looked at the current He Yiming, he could faintly guess how a youngster could possess such powerful strength.
Perhaps, his world is completely pure and simple. The pursuit of martial dao constituted the entirety of his world. As such, he could abandon everything else and reach his current realm.
At this moment, he truly began to somewhat admire and envy He Yiming.
Born into a small clan, one wouldn’t be able to enjoy various cultivation facilities and would also be restricted in availability of techniques. However, in such a family, one would be able to completely immerse himself in cultivation and need not worry about the affairs of clan, or an internal strife. This may be considered a sort of blessing as well.
He Wude gently coughed. Feeling like laughing and crying at the same time, he said, “Yiming, don’t be rude. Young master Lin has specifically come your to meet you in person.”
He Yiming faintly started, then involuntarily asked, “Brother Lin, you are going back?”
“Yes,” Lin Taoli sighed, “Originally, I intended to stay here for a few days. However, something has happened in the clan. Thus, I must go back.”
He Yiming’s face looked quite regretful. This expression came from the innermost section of his heart. It didn’t have the slightest pretense, which immediately moved Lin Taoli greatly and even lead him to think that this youngster considered him as close as a real brother.
If he were to know that He Yiming only felt regret due to the fact that he wouldn’t be able to study Rain Cloud Imprint once he left, he would immediately break off all ties with him on the spot and stay far away from him all his life.
“Brother He, we felt a connection since we first saw each other. If you still feel as such, why don’t you try spending some time in Jadeting city?” Lin Taoli invited in quite a hospitable manner.
Sitting on the principal seat, Lord Master He Wude’s complexion transformed momentarily before resuming its original appearance.
He’d not lived his entire life being an idiot. He immediately understood that the former wished to recruit He family’s future star.
However, unfortunately, the Lord Master would never allow it.
Before the old man could even speak his mouth, He Yiming unhesitatingly said, “Brother Lin, at present, my heart is set solely on cultivation. I don’t want to go outside and distract myself.”
Lin Taoli faintly smiled and said, “Brother He, as a fellow cultivator, I will absolutely not distract you. Moreover, I promise you that if you are willing to become an Enforce Elder of our Lin family, our clan’s martial art’s storehouse will unconditionally be open for you.”
He’d already determined that He Yiming was a martial lunatic. Therefore, he’d immediately pulled out the move that could express his sincerity to the greatest extent.
Lin family had been passed on through millennials. The gigantic martial arts collection they possessed could move any martial artist’s heart.
Sure enough, He Yiming’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Does Lin family’s storehouse has your Prostrate Imprint and Rain Cloud Imprint?’
“Yes, and not only these two techniques,” Lin Taoli calmly said, “Imprint techniques are actually a whole set of techniques among Xiantian battle skills. But every individual’s constitution is distinct. Those who can cultivate in Xiantian techniques are already extremely rare- learning the entire set in the houtain realm is simply not possible. I’ve nearly cultivated in imprint techniques for a full ten years but have only managed to learn two of its styles. I wonder how many brother He would be able to learn…”
He Yiming opened his mouth- extremely desirous of telling the former that he could definitely learn the entire set.
However, he forced it back down his throat. He turned his head and carefully observed his grandfather. His heart was already moved. Now, all he needed to do was observe his grandfather’s attitude.
He Wude took a deep breath and said, “Young master Lin, we appreciate your kind intentions.”
Lin Taoli’s complexion slightly changed as he said, “Lord Master, I know this seems somewhat rude. However, we have no intention of snatching He Yiming from you, and only wish for him to become an Enforce Elder of the Lin clan. He could still inherit He family.”
He Wude shook his head and said, “You misunderstood, young master Lin”. He bitterly laughed, “To tell you the truth, you might know that He manor was laid out by this old man forty years ago, relying on this old man’s blade. However, do you know where this old man was before that?”
Lin Taoli’s expression turned grave as he said, “I would very much like to know.”
He Wude stood up and cupped his hand towards a certain direction, “Before coming here, this old man was a registered disciple of Hong Mountain.”

"value": "MGA: Chapter 1142 - Returning In Failure\n“It’s you?”\nAfter hearing what Chu Feng said, the two men immediately displayed extremely shocked expressions. Their wide open eyes were filled with emotion, the feeling of finding something to be unbelievable.\nThe two of them began to carefully inspect Chu Feng. From his head to his feet and then from his feet back to his head; from inside to outside and then outside to inside. They inspected Chu Feng over and over again, countless times, and even used spirit energy to assist with their inspections.\nHowever, there was not the slightest trace of change to Chu Feng’s cultivation of rank one Martial King. This sort of man created the Asura Division? Bai Ruochen joined such a branch power organization? She was willing to allow someone this much weaker than her to lead her? How could this be?\n“Junior sister Ruochen, is this the truth?” Being extremely puzzled, the two turned their gazes toward Bai Ruochen. They truly wished that Bai Ruochen would say that all of this was false.\n“Absolutely true.” However, reality was a cruel thing. Bai Ruochen responded to their question with an absolutely certain answer.\n“Junior sister Ruochen, have you gone crazy? How could you join that sort of branch power organization? There are simply no benefits to your future prospects by doing so, and this will instead hinder you.”\n“Who has gone crazy? Who did you say is crazy?” However, not only did Bai Ruochen not feel grateful for the well-intended advice given by the two men, she instead became extremely angry. She pointed to the two of them and said. “I, Bai Ruochen, have my own way of thinking, and also possess the ability to make decisions for myself. Regardless of what it is that I plan to do, I have no need for your criticism.”\n“Right now, I shall clarify it to the two of you. I, Bai Ruochen, will not join your Ascension Division. The two of you are also not welcome in my territory. Please get out of my territory right now. Otherwise, do not blame me for being rude.”\n“Junior sister Ruochen, that is not our intent. We are not scolding you, please do not get angry.” Seeing that Bai Ruochen was becoming angry, the two men started to panic. The two of them appeared to fear Bai Ruochen greatly.\nHowever, Bai Ruochen was not lenient in the slightest. She pointed to her territory’s entrance and angrily shouted, “Scram~~~~~~~~”\nIn this sort of situation, the two of them did not dare to say anything anymore. Instead, they turned their fierce gazes toward Chu Feng. Their gazes were truly fierce; it was as if they wanted to kill Chu Feng using their gazes alone.\nHowever, faced with this sort of gaze, Chu Feng merely smiled disdainfully and said. “What are you looking at? If there’s something you want to say, go ahead and say it.”\n“Humph~~~” In the end, the two men did not say anything. Instead, they waved their large sleeves and left the plaza.\n“I truly didn’t expect Lil Sis Ruochen to become this angry.” After the two men left, Chu Feng looked to Bai Ruochen with a smile on his face.\n“I merely do not enjoy being criticized by others, as I am able to make decisions for myself. Moreover, I do not enjoy it being declared by others that my decisions are incorrect,” said Bai Ruochen.\n“Mn, not bad. I like this sort of temperament. Actually… I am also this type of person.” Chu Feng started to clap his hands and applaud Bai Ruochen.\n“What are you staying here for? Could it be that you wish to be treated like them?” Surprisingly, Bai Ruochen cast a fierce side eye at Chu Feng. Her face was a bit pale, and her angry expression was still present. It was evident that her anger had not gone away.\n“How could you do such a thing? No matter what, I am still your head. If you are to treat me like you did them, then wouldn’t that be equivalent to offending your superior, an act of rebellion?” Chu Feng have a mischievous smile on his face. He knew that while Bai Ruochen’s temperament was icy-cold, she still knew how to distinguish right from wrong. At the very least, she would not truly get angry at Chu Feng.\n“Don’t bother using this on me. You must know that in my heart, you are simply no head of mine. I have only joined your Asura Division so that you can agree to one of my promises,” said Bai Ruochen.\n“Exactly what is it that you want me to do? You should be able to tell me about it now, right?” asked Chu Feng.\n“I told you that I still haven’t thought of it yet,” said Bai Ruochen.\n“In that case, if I was to listen to you and leave right away, would that be considered to agreeing to do one thing that you asked me to do? After that, I would not owe you anything, right?” Chu Feng smiled an extremely shameless smile.\n“Do you believe that I will leave your Asura Division right now?” As Bai Ruochen said those words, she directly pulled down the armband on her arm.\n“Don’t don’t don’t. You’re my great aunt, I fear you, is that fine? I’ll leave right away, you don’t have to see me off.” Chu Feng hurriedly retreated backward. As he said those words, his foot touched the ground and, like a reverse meteor, he shot into the sky.\n“Yep, I’ll see you there.” In the night sky that was not completely black, Chu Feng’s voice sounded out.\nHearing Chu Feng’s voice, Bai Ruochen displayed an extremely enchanting smile. Unfortunately, no one was there to bear witness to Bai Ruochen’s smile.\nAs she smiled, Bai Ruochen looked at the Asura Division’s armband in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she ended up putting it back on her arm, and even specially tidied it up as she placed it on her arm. Only then did she proceed to walk toward her own palace to rest.\nAt the same time, a different scene was occurring in the Ascension Division.\nIn a grand and imposing palace hall, several hundred people were gathered. Not a single one of these people were weak. They could be said to all be the upper echelons of the Ascension Division.\nHowever, at this very moment, they were standing orderly on the two sides of the palace hall. Their faces were filled with seriousness, and their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked toward the figure sitting on the main seat of the palace hall.\nIt was a man sitting on the main seat. Judging from his outer appearance, he should have just entered middle-age, and was merely in his early thirties. However, not only did this man possess an extraordinary appearance, his aura was even more extraordinary; he possessed the air of a king that ordinary people lacked. This sort of people were natural leaders, capable of achieving great accomplishments.\nHowever, compared to his appearance and aura, the thing that this person possessed that brought about the most fear would be his cultivation. He was a rank six Martial King. As for his identity, he was the head of the Ascension Division, their leader, Long Chenyi.\nLong Chenyi was no ordinary character. Not only did he possess extraordinary talent, he was deemed to be a rare genius during the time when he was a disciple of the Ascension Sect. He shined even further after arriving at the Cyanwood Mountain.\nThe Cyanwood Mountain possessed several hundred thousand core disciples; it was so numerous that it’s simply uncountable. However, when Long Chenyi was mentioned, practically everyone knows who he is.\nHis fame rose especially due to an incident a year ago when Long Chenyi saved all of his teammates during a mission. That caused his name to be spread throughout the entire Cyanwood Mountain, making him one of the well-recognized geniuses.\nThat was because in that mission, Long Chenyi encountered an infamous bandit, a senior that had cultivated for several hundred years, a rank eight Martial King.\nHowever, not only did Long Chenyi defeat this rank eight Martial King with his cultivation of a rank six Martial King, he even managed to catch the bandit alive. This was enough to ascertain his extraordinary genius and matchless martial power. To be able to step over two entire ranks, these sorts of people were all true geniuses.\nHowever, at this moment, Long Chenyi had an angry expression on his face. He looked to his younger brother Long Chenfu, who was kneeling on the ground not far from where he sat, and angrily rebuked him. “You fool, you are truly a fool.”\n“Do you not know what sort of character junior sister Ruochen has? Did you not remember what I told you? Her talent greatly surpasses mine! Do you know how enormous of a loss it is to our Ascension Division to not have her? If she was to join another branch power organization, it would be an even more enormous loss!”\n“And you, you actually rejected her request because of some Southern Cyanwood Forest’s disciples?! Have you become stupid?”\nAt this moment, the kneeling Long Chenfu’s complexion turned ashen after being scolded by Long Chenyi. However, he did not dare to talk back and could only continue to endure all of this in silence. That was because he knew very well that the reason he possessed the status that he currently had today was all because of his elder brother. If he didn’t have his elder brother, he would most definitely not be the person he was today.\n“Head, it’s enough. No matter what, it has already happened. Even if you blame Chenfu, it will not change anything. Furthermore, didn’t you also dispatch Hua Xiang and Xia Yue to talk to junior sister Ruochen? No matter what, the two of them are people that junior sister Ruochen knew. I believe they will be able to persuade junior sister Ruochen.” A burly man with a smile on his face spoke out to console Long Chenyi.\nThis burly man also possessed a cultivation of rank five Martial King, the same as Long Chenfu. However, his aura was completely different from Long Chenfu, greatly surpassing him. As for this person, he was the second head of the Ascension Division, Meng Zhensuo.\n“Mn, as the matter stands, we can only rely on Hua Xiang and Xia Yue,” Long Chenyi said after a sigh.\n“Rest assured. After all, junior sister Ruochen is a disciple of the Ascension Sect as well as the sectmaster’s daughter. How could she refuse to join our Ascension Division?” said Meng Zhensuo.\n“Thump.” Right at this moment, the closed doors to the palace hall were abruptly opened and two figures appeared in the palace hall. As for these two people, they were precisely the two men that were sent to persuade Bai Ruochen, Hua Xiang and Xia Yue."

第一千一百四十二章
“是你？”
听得楚枫之话，二人脸上的吃惊之色，顿时浓郁到了极点，瞪圆的双眼之中，充满了一种情绪，那便是不可思议。
他们开始认真的打量楚枫，从上到下，从下到上，里里外外，外外里里，打量了不知多少遍，甚至连精神力都用上了。 但是楚枫那一品武王的修为，却没有发生一丝改变，这样的人创建的修罗部？
白若尘加入了这样的分部？ 甘愿让一个比她弱上这么多的人领导她？ 这怎么可能？
“若尘师妹，真是真的么？” 极度不解之际，二人将目光投向了白若尘，他们多么希望白若尘说，这一切是假的。
“千真万确。” 然而，现实却是残酷的，白若尘给出了比坚定的答复。
这对你来说简直毫前途，反而会耽误了你啊。” “是啊，若尘妹妹，这种分部你怎么能加入呢？
你们说谁疯了？” 然而，对于二人的好心劝解，白若尘不但不领情，反而是勃然大怒，指着他们两个说道：“我白若尘有自己的想法，也有自己的选择权利，论我做什么都不用你们指手画脚。”
“现在，我就明确的告诉你们，我白若尘不会加入你羽化部，而我的领地不欢迎你们两个，请你们两个现在，立刻，马上，给我出去，否则别怪我不客气。”
“若尘师妹，我们不是那个意思，我们不是骂你，你不要动气。” 见白若尘发怒，二人也是有些慌了，能够看出，他们似乎很是惧怕白若尘。
“滚~~~~~~~~~~~~”可是白若尘却丝毫不留情面，指着领地的大门，便怒喝一声。
这种情况下，二人也不敢再多说什么，反而是将那恶狠狠的目光，看向了楚枫，那目光太凶恶了，简直恨不得用目光，便将楚枫给杀死一般。
可是对于这种目光，楚枫却是不屑一笑，说道：“看什么看，有话不妨直说。”
“哼~~~”最终，二人并未多说什么，而是大袖一挥，便就此离去。 “真看不出来，若尘妹妹这么大的脾气呢。”
在二人走后，楚枫笑眯眯的看向了白若尘。
“只是不喜欢有人，对我指手画脚罢了，我自己的事，喜欢自己做主，并且不喜欢别人，否认我的决定。” 白若尘说道。
“恩，不错，这种性格我喜欢，其实……我也是这种人。” 楚枫拍手叫好。
“你还在这里干嘛，难道也要我向对他们那样对你？” 可是不曾想，白若尘却狠狠的撇了一眼楚枫，她小脸发白，怒容未减，显然心中的火还没有消。
“那怎么行，怎么说我也是你的当家，你若那样对我，岂不是以下犯上，大逆不道？” 楚枫一脸的坏笑，他了解白若尘，这个丫头虽然性格冰冷，但也是非分明，至少不会真的对楚枫动怒。
“少来这套，你应该知道，在我心中你根本就不是什么当家人，我加入你的修罗部，只是为了让你答应我一件事而已。” 白若尘说道。
“究竟是什么事，现在可以说了么？” 楚枫问道。
“我说了，我还没想好。”
白若尘道。 “那我现在听你的，马上就离开，算不算答应了你那件事，然后咱们就两清了呢？” 楚枫笑的非常耻。
“你信不信我现在就退出你修罗部？” 白若尘说话之间，直接将自己手臂上的袖标，给扯了下来。
“别别别，你是姑奶奶，我怕你还不行么，我走了，不用送我。” 见状，楚枫赶忙向后退去，并且说话之间，脚尖点地，如同倒射的流星一般，掠向夜空。 “别忘了，明天任务广场，你最好早点来。”
“不见不散。” 并未全黑的夜空之中，传来楚枫的声音。
听得这个声音，白若尘的嘴角，竟掀起了一抹迷人的弧度，这抹笑容极为动人，不过可惜没人见到白若尘此刻的笑容。
而在微笑之际，白若尘看了看手中那个修罗部的袖标，想了一想，还是戴到了自己手臂原来的位置，并且还特别仔细的整理了一下，这才向自己的休息的宫殿行去。
与此同时，在羽化部内，则发生着另外一幕。
一座恢弘气派的大殿之内，聚集着数百人，这些人的实力皆是不弱，可谓都是羽化部的高层人士。
但是此时此刻，他们却是整齐的站立在两侧，脸上布满了凝重之色，看向大殿首位的那道身影，眼中充满了敬畏。
那是一道男子的身影，看其外表应该刚入中年，三十出头的年纪而已，不过不但容貌不凡，更是器宇轩昂，有着常人所不具备的王者之风，这种人，天生就适合做领导者，能成大事。
但是相比于他的容貌和气质，此人最令人畏惧的，想必还是他的修为，六品武王，这是整个羽化部者，也是羽化部的当家人，龙辰逸。
这龙辰逸可不是一个简单的角色，他不仅天资卓越，在羽化宗的时候，被誉为是难得的奇才，来到这青木山后，他更是大放异彩。
青木山的核心弟子有着足足几十万，人数之多简直数不胜数，但是提起龙辰逸，恐怕几乎没有人不知道。
尤其是一年前，他在执行一项任务的时候，救了全组队员之后，更是声名大噪，成为了青木山内，为数不多被公认的顶尖天才之一。
因为那项任务，龙辰逸面对的乃是一位成名的大盗，修炼了近百年的前辈高人，一位八品武王。
但是龙辰逸不但凭借六品武王的修为将其击败，更是将其活捉，这充分证明了他那远超常人的天赋，和与伦比的战力，跨越二品境界的战力，这样的人，都是真正的天才。
不过此刻，龙辰逸却是满面怒容，看着不远处，跪在自己面前的弟弟龙辰复，愤怒的责怪道：“糊涂，你真是糊涂。”
“若尘师妹是什么样的人？ 我就这么和你说，她的天赋远在我之上，羽化部没了她，那将是多大的损失？ 她若是加入其他分部，那更是巨大的损失。”
“你居然为了几个南林的弟子便拒绝了她，你是傻了吗？”
龙辰复此刻跪在地上，被龙辰逸骂的脸色铁青，却又不敢顶嘴，只能默默的忍受着这一切，因为他非常清楚，他龙辰复能有今天，全都依仗他的这位哥哥，如果没有他的这位大哥，他绝对不会有今天的地位。
“好了，当家的，再怎么说，事情已经发生了，你责怪辰复也没用，何况你不也派人华翔和夏越去请若尘师妹了么，不管怎么说，他们两个还是与如尘师妹有着一些交集的，相信定会博得若尘师妹的谅解。” 一名面带笑意的大汉开口劝道。
这位大汉与龙辰复一样有着五品武王的修为，但气息却是完全不同，要远胜过龙辰复，而这位便是羽化宗的二当家，孟振锁。
“恩，事到如今，也只靠华翔和夏越了。”
龙辰逸叹息道。 “放心吧，毕竟若尘师妹也是羽化宗的人，而且还是宗主大人的女儿，她怎么可能不加入我们羽化部呢。”
孟振锁说道。 “砰”而就在这时，紧闭的殿门猛然打开，两道身影出现在大殿之内，而这两位，正是先前去请白若尘的华翔与夏越。

MGA: Chapter 1142 - Returning In Failure
“It’s you?”
After hearing what Chu Feng said, the two men immediately displayed extremely shocked expressions. Their wide open eyes were filled with emotion, the feeling of finding something to be unbelievable.
The two of them began to carefully inspect Chu Feng. From his head to his feet and then from his feet back to his head; from inside to outside and then outside to inside. They inspected Chu Feng over and over again, countless times, and even used spirit energy to assist with their inspections.
However, there was not the slightest trace of change to Chu Feng’s cultivation of rank one Martial King. This sort of man created the Asura Division? Bai Ruochen joined such a branch power organization? She was willing to allow someone this much weaker than her to lead her? How could this be?
“Junior sister Ruochen, is this the truth?” Being extremely puzzled, the two turned their gazes toward Bai Ruochen. They truly wished that Bai Ruochen would say that all of this was false.
“Absolutely true.” However, reality was a cruel thing. Bai Ruochen responded to their question with an absolutely certain answer.
“Junior sister Ruochen, have you gone crazy? How could you join that sort of branch power organization? There are simply no benefits to your future prospects by doing so, and this will instead hinder you.”
“Who has gone crazy? Who did you say is crazy?” However, not only did Bai Ruochen not feel grateful for the well-intended advice given by the two men, she instead became extremely angry. She pointed to the two of them and said. “I, Bai Ruochen, have my own way of thinking, and also possess the ability to make decisions for myself. Regardless of what it is that I plan to do, I have no need for your criticism.”
“Right now, I shall clarify it to the two of you. I, Bai Ruochen, will not join your Ascension Division. The two of you are also not welcome in my territory. Please get out of my territory right now. Otherwise, do not blame me for being rude.”
“Junior sister Ruochen, that is not our intent. We are not scolding you, please do not get angry.” Seeing that Bai Ruochen was becoming angry, the two men started to panic. The two of them appeared to fear Bai Ruochen greatly.
However, Bai Ruochen was not lenient in the slightest. She pointed to her territory’s entrance and angrily shouted, “Scram~~~~~~~~”
In this sort of situation, the two of them did not dare to say anything anymore. Instead, they turned their fierce gazes toward Chu Feng. Their gazes were truly fierce; it was as if they wanted to kill Chu Feng using their gazes alone.
However, faced with this sort of gaze, Chu Feng merely smiled disdainfully and said. “What are you looking at? If there’s something you want to say, go ahead and say it.”
“Humph~~~” In the end, the two men did not say anything. Instead, they waved their large sleeves and left the plaza.
“I truly didn’t expect Lil Sis Ruochen to become this angry.” After the two men left, Chu Feng looked to Bai Ruochen with a smile on his face.
“I merely do not enjoy being criticized by others, as I am able to make decisions for myself. Moreover, I do not enjoy it being declared by others that my decisions are incorrect,” said Bai Ruochen.
“Mn, not bad. I like this sort of temperament. Actually… I am also this type of person.” Chu Feng started to clap his hands and applaud Bai Ruochen.
“What are you staying here for? Could it be that you wish to be treated like them?” Surprisingly, Bai Ruochen cast a fierce side eye at Chu Feng. Her face was a bit pale, and her angry expression was still present. It was evident that her anger had not gone away.
“How could you do such a thing? No matter what, I am still your head. If you are to treat me like you did them, then wouldn’t that be equivalent to offending your superior, an act of rebellion?” Chu Feng have a mischievous smile on his face. He knew that while Bai Ruochen’s temperament was icy-cold, she still knew how to distinguish right from wrong. At the very least, she would not truly get angry at Chu Feng.
“Don’t bother using this on me. You must know that in my heart, you are simply no head of mine. I have only joined your Asura Division so that you can agree to one of my promises,” said Bai Ruochen.
“Exactly what is it that you want me to do? You should be able to tell me about it now, right?” asked Chu Feng.
“I told you that I still haven’t thought of it yet,” said Bai Ruochen.
“In that case, if I was to listen to you and leave right away, would that be considered to agreeing to do one thing that you asked me to do? After that, I would not owe you anything, right?” Chu Feng smiled an extremely shameless smile.
“Do you believe that I will leave your Asura Division right now?” As Bai Ruochen said those words, she directly pulled down the armband on her arm.
“Don’t don’t don’t. You’re my great aunt, I fear you, is that fine? I’ll leave right away, you don’t have to see me off.” Chu Feng hurriedly retreated backward. As he said those words, his foot touched the ground and, like a reverse meteor, he shot into the sky.
“Yep, I’ll see you there.” In the night sky that was not completely black, Chu Feng’s voice sounded out.
Hearing Chu Feng’s voice, Bai Ruochen displayed an extremely enchanting smile. Unfortunately, no one was there to bear witness to Bai Ruochen’s smile.
As she smiled, Bai Ruochen looked at the Asura Division’s armband in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she ended up putting it back on her arm, and even specially tidied it up as she placed it on her arm. Only then did she proceed to walk toward her own palace to rest.
At the same time, a different scene was occurring in the Ascension Division.
In a grand and imposing palace hall, several hundred people were gathered. Not a single one of these people were weak. They could be said to all be the upper echelons of the Ascension Division.
However, at this very moment, they were standing orderly on the two sides of the palace hall. Their faces were filled with seriousness, and their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked toward the figure sitting on the main seat of the palace hall.
It was a man sitting on the main seat. Judging from his outer appearance, he should have just entered middle-age, and was merely in his early thirties. However, not only did this man possess an extraordinary appearance, his aura was even more extraordinary; he possessed the air of a king that ordinary people lacked. This sort of people were natural leaders, capable of achieving great accomplishments.
However, compared to his appearance and aura, the thing that this person possessed that brought about the most fear would be his cultivation. He was a rank six Martial King. As for his identity, he was the head of the Ascension Division, their leader, Long Chenyi.
Long Chenyi was no ordinary character. Not only did he possess extraordinary talent, he was deemed to be a rare genius during the time when he was a disciple of the Ascension Sect. He shined even further after arriving at the Cyanwood Mountain.
The Cyanwood Mountain possessed several hundred thousand core disciples; it was so numerous that it’s simply uncountable. However, when Long Chenyi was mentioned, practically everyone knows who he is.
His fame rose especially due to an incident a year ago when Long Chenyi saved all of his teammates during a mission. That caused his name to be spread throughout the entire Cyanwood Mountain, making him one of the well-recognized geniuses.
That was because in that mission, Long Chenyi encountered an infamous bandit, a senior that had cultivated for several hundred years, a rank eight Martial King.
However, not only did Long Chenyi defeat this rank eight Martial King with his cultivation of a rank six Martial King, he even managed to catch the bandit alive. This was enough to ascertain his extraordinary genius and matchless martial power. To be able to step over two entire ranks, these sorts of people were all true geniuses.
However, at this moment, Long Chenyi had an angry expression on his face. He looked to his younger brother Long Chenfu, who was kneeling on the ground not far from where he sat, and angrily rebuked him. “You fool, you are truly a fool.”
“Do you not know what sort of character junior sister Ruochen has? Did you not remember what I told you? Her talent greatly surpasses mine! Do you know how enormous of a loss it is to our Ascension Division to not have her? If she was to join another branch power organization, it would be an even more enormous loss!”
“And you, you actually rejected her request because of some Southern Cyanwood Forest’s disciples?! Have you become stupid?”
At this moment, the kneeling Long Chenfu’s complexion turned ashen after being scolded by Long Chenyi. However, he did not dare to talk back and could only continue to endure all of this in silence. That was because he knew very well that the reason he possessed the status that he currently had today was all because of his elder brother. If he didn’t have his elder brother, he would most definitely not be the person he was today.
“Head, it’s enough. No matter what, it has already happened. Even if you blame Chenfu, it will not change anything. Furthermore, didn’t you also dispatch Hua Xiang and Xia Yue to talk to junior sister Ruochen? No matter what, the two of them are people that junior sister Ruochen knew. I believe they will be able to persuade junior sister Ruochen.” A burly man with a smile on his face spoke out to console Long Chenyi.
This burly man also possessed a cultivation of rank five Martial King, the same as Long Chenfu. However, his aura was completely different from Long Chenfu, greatly surpassing him. As for this person, he was the second head of the Ascension Division, Meng Zhensuo.
“Mn, as the matter stands, we can only rely on Hua Xiang and Xia Yue,” Long Chenyi said after a sigh.
“Rest assured. After all, junior sister Ruochen is a disciple of the Ascension Sect as well as the sectmaster’s daughter. How could she refuse to join our Ascension Division?” said Meng Zhensuo.
“Thump.” Right at this moment, the closed doors to the palace hall were abruptly opened and two figures appeared in the palace hall. As for these two people, they were precisely the two men that were sent to persuade Bai Ruochen, Hua Xiang and Xia Yue.

"value": "“And who are you?” Ling Han cast his eyes at the green-clad young man, his gaze becoming severe.\n“How dare you speak to me this way! Heng, you are indeed a wicked character!” The green-clad young man said coldly. His eyes were sharp as swords, staring at Ling Han intensely, and a terrifying aura was circulating around his body.\nHe was an elite of Gushing Spring Tier, and now he was using his aura. This was a kind of domination on the spiritual level.\nLing Han acted as if he felt nothing. He had just taken seven Second Star Pills yesterday, and had greatly increased the strength of his divine sense. Anyone who intended to use his aura to dominate over him would have to be at least in Spiritual Ocean Tier.\nThe green-clad young man could not help feeling surprised. He had already circulated his aura, but why was there no reaction from Ling Han at all?\n“This is An Xue Ming, Elder Brother Disciple An. He is the team leader of Team Seven of the Discipline Committee,” a young man dressed in black said, introducing the identity of the green-clad young man.\n‘Another thing, he is also one of Elder Brother’s most faithful followers!’ Feng Luo added internally. Since it was such a good opportunity, he would of course make the most out of all resources available to him and deal with Ling Han once and for all.\nThe “proof” was already prepared well in advance, and there was still a lackey of his elder brother playing the part of executioner—how would Ling Han be able to escape from this calamity?\n“I’m very busy, and I don’t have the time to waste with you! Take me to your place, I want to search it!” An Xue Ming said.\nLing Han placed his hands behind his back, and said, “What right do you have to do such a thing?”\nLing Han laughed loudly and said, “Don’t tell me that you people of the Discipline Committee just need to have a small suspicion, and you can simply rummage and search whoever’s living quarters? If that’s so, it seems like I have lost a bar of soap, and I suspect it was stolen by Wu Song Lin, so I’ll have to trouble you to search his place for it.”\n“Pu!”\nAll of them choked in shock. Who was Wu Song Lin? Headmaster of the Alchemy Department, and a Black Grade high level alchemist. With regards to status, he was slightly higher than even the Headmaster of the Martial Arts Department, Lian Guang Zu. If they actually dared to search through his quarters, wasn’t that practically hoping to die early?\nLing Han really dared to say that. He even dared to make a joke about Wu Song Lin, did he not treasure his life at all?\nAn Xue Ming’s face twitched madly, feeling that this Ling Han was really a maniac. If the mocking words Ling Han had spoken about Wu Song Lin had actually spread out, he would definitely be beaten to death. How could he joke so casually about a powerful warrior of Spiritual Pedestal Tier? Not to mention that Wu Song Lin had another status in the form of the prestigious position of a Black Grade high level alchemist!\n“You are trying to seek your own death!” He spoke coldly. Since Ling Han was such an arrogant fool, there was no need for him to have any more reservations. He said, “You actually dare to insult Master Wu, apprehend him!”\n“Oh, let me see, who dares make a move?” Ling Han looked at the others contemptuously, smiling slightly, and said, “You people must consider carefully, and not be made use of by others! Otherwise, if you dare make a move against me, I will not be merciful at all!”\nThe others hesitated at this. Actually, aside from An Xue Ming, the others did not have much of a relationship with Feng Yan. Furthermore, when they saw the absence of fear in Ling Han’s expression, it seemed as if he had some powerful background. It’d be best if they distanced themselves from this matter, for if they got involved in a fight between two big bosses, minor characters like them would be easily killed.\nIn that moment, no one dared to take another step forward.\n“How dare you! You not only dare to shoot your mouth off, you even dare to threaten members of the Discipline Committee! You are really out of control!” An Xue Ming said darkly, and pointed at Ling Han, “Zhong Lin, apprehend him!”\n“Yes, yes!” A young man reluctantly stepped out.\nHe naturally knew that An Xue Ming was a lackey of Feng Yan, and now this matter involved Feng Luo. Then it was more than obvious that this was a clash between Feng Luo and Ling Han… or it could be considered as a clash between Feng Yan and the person standing behind Ling Han.\nAnd now, he was trapped in between these two powerful parties. Whoever came out the winner of this clash, there was no benefit for him, so of course he was extremely displeased.\nBut An Xue Ming was the team leader, so unless he intended to resign from the Discipline Committee, he would have to obey the former’s commands.\n“Younger Brother Disciple Ling Han, I advise you to surrender!” Zhong Lin moved into an attacking stance. He was in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier while Ling Han was only in the fifth layer, so he had absolute confidence he would be able to apprehend Ling Han within ten moves.\nLing Han shook his head and said, “You still do not have the ability to apprehend me!”\nZhong Lin could not help becoming infuriated. Indeed, he did not have much of a background, but his power of the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier was authentic. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to join the Discipline Committee in the first place. And now a younger brother disciple with cultivation in the mere fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier actually said that Zhong Lin was not capable of apprehending the former. This doubtlessly was a blow to his pride.\n“Why are you still blabbering? Apprehend him now!” An Xue Ming urged.\n“Excuse me then!” Zhong Lin made his move, and charged towards Ling Han.\nMo Gao wanted to make his move. He knew that this only student of his had an exceptionally high level of comprehension in the art of the sword, but the gap in cultivation levels was a big disadvantage. Six flashes of Sword Qi would grant him an extra three Battle Stars of battle prowess at most. But that still did not matter much as a martial artist of the eighth layer of Element Gathering Tier would still be unable to match an opponent in the ninth layer.\nHowever, Ling Han had already stepped forward to take this attack head on. He did not even draw his sword; instead, he directly threw out a punch.\n“Peng!”\nThe two of them clashed head on, and a visible shock wave spread out from the point of contact. The two figures retreated at the same time.\nWhen they saw this happen, everyone’s eyes widened in shock, wearing disbelieving expressions.\nZhong Lin was in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, yet he did not manage to get the upper hand in a head-on clash? How was that possible! How could there be such a powerful martial artist of the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier? Are you sure you really are in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier?\n“I’ve underestimated you!” Zhong Lin instantly looked serious. Though he had no desire to become someone else’s weapon, martial artists would of course have their own pride. As a martial artist in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, if he could not even apprehend an opponent in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier, what would be left of his pride?\nHe took a deep breath and formed his hands into claws. He stretched out his arms to two different directions, bent and raised his left leg, looking like an eagle that was stretching out its wings in preparation for flight.\n“Eagle Soaring in the Sky!”\nHe gave a furious shout, and his figure sped forwards, his battle prowess spiking instantly.\nBattle prowess and cultivation level were two completely different matters. From the moment he used his martial arts technique, his battle prowess had spiked up to ten Battle Stars.\nLing Han only smiled softly, his eyes turning serious, and suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from his figure.\nZhong Lin could only feel his heart trembling, as if he was a little lamb that had caught the eye of a fierce tiger, and he was left with nothing but endless fear. This move ‘Eagle Soaring in the Sky’ suddenly lost its accuracy, and the deviation from his real target was excessively large.\nLing Han nonchalantly aimed a kick at Zhong Lin’s behind, and “peng”, the latter instantly fell onto the ground with a heavy thump, causing a large disturbance to the dust on the ground.\nIn Hu Yang Academy, Zhong Lin could not be considered an elite, but among those of Element Gathering Tier, his ability was enough to rank him within the top hundred martial artists of Element Gathering Tier. Yet now, he was actually defeated by a mere martial artist in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier in one move, how were they supposed to believe their eyes?\n‘What a great brat, no wonder he was so arrogant! So it seems that he does indeed have some ability!’ A cold light gleamed in An Xue Ming’s eyes. He stepped out and walked forwards. He had decided to make a move himself.\nLing Han looked slightly serious at this. An Xue Ming was in the Gushing Spring Tier, and if you converted his battle prowess to the level of Element Gathering Tier, that would at least be twenty Stars. Furthermore, this estimate had still not included the upgrade granted from the use of Black Grade martial arts techniques.\nOf course, An Xue Ming may not possess any kind of Black Grade martial arts technique.\n“Back down!” Mo Go stood in front of Ling Han, his eyes wide with rage. He had not stepped in previously, but as Ling Han’s teacher, he would definitely not just stand by and watch as his own student was humiliated by another!"

凌寒看向绿衫青年，眼神变得凌厉起来。
“好大的胆子，竟然敢这么向我说话！ 哼，果然是奸盗之辈！”
他是涌泉境的高手，此刻动用了气势，这是灵魂层面的压制。
凌寒若无其事，他昨天刚服用了七颗乙星丹，大幅提升了神识强度，想要靠气势压制他的话，怎么也得是灵海境。
绿衫青年不由地惊讶，他已经将气势流转，怎么凌寒没有半点反应呢？
“这位是安学明安师兄，执法会第七小队队长。” 一名黑衫青年开口说道，介绍着绿衫青年的身份。
“还有一点，他还是哥哥的死忠手下！” 封落在一边暗暗补充道，既然有了这么好的机会，他当然会充分利用身边的资源，将凌寒彻底钉死。
“罪证”早已经安排好了，还有兄长的手下充当刽子手，凌寒还怎么逃得过这一劫？
“我很忙，没空陪你浪费时间！ 带我去你的住处，我要搜查！”
凌寒哈哈大笑，道：“难道你们执法会只要怀疑，就想搜谁的住所就搜谁的住所？
这样啊，我好像丢了一块肥皂，怀疑是被吴松林偷去了，麻烦你们去他那搜一下。”
噗！
所有人都是喷了出来，吴松林是谁？ 丹院院长、玄级上品丹师，从地位上来讲要比武院院长连光祖还要牛逼一些，去他那里搜查，这不是找死吗？
凌寒还真敢说啊，连吴松林的玩笑都敢开，这是不要命了吗？
安学明都是脸皮狂抽，只觉凌寒简直就是个疯子。 要知道就刚才凌寒调侃吴松林的话只要传出去，他肯定会被人揍死，神台境强者是可以拿来随便开玩笑的吗？ 更何况吴松林还有一个玄级上品丹师的光环！
“你这是在找死！” 他冷冷说道，既然凌寒是这样的狂人，他再无半点顾忌，道，“竟敢污辱吴大人，给我将他拿下！”
“哦，谁敢动手？” 凌寒轻蔑地看着诸人，他露出一抹笑容，道，“你们可要想清楚了，不要被人利用了！ 否则，对我出手，我可不会手下留情！”
众人不由地迟疑，其实除了安学明外，其他人都和封炎没什么关系。 而看凌寒那有恃无恐的模样，似乎有什么强大的背景，到时候别阎王打架，殃及了他们这些小鬼。
一时之间，竟真无人敢上前。
“放肆，不但口无遮拦，而且还恐吓执法会的人，简直无法无天！” 安学明森然说道，伸手一指凌寒，“钟林，给我拿下他！”
“是、是！” 一名年轻人不情不愿地走了出来。
他自然知道安学明乃是封炎的人，而现在这件事又牵涉到了封落，那么很明显，其实这是封落和凌寒的碰撞，更可以说是封炎和凌寒身后那人的碰撞。
现在他夹在了中间，无论两边谁赢了，他都讨不了好处，自然非常不爽了。
可安学明乃是队长，除非他打算退出执法会，否则他就必须听从命令。
“凌寒学弟，还是束手就擒吧！” 钟林摆出进攻的姿势，他是聚元九层，而凌寒才只是五层而已，他有绝对的自信可以在十招之内将凌寒拿下。
凌寒摇了摇头，道：“你还没有这样的资格！”
钟林不由生怒，他确实没什么强大的背景，可聚元九层的实力摆在那呢，否则也没有资格进入执法会，现在一个聚元五层的小师弟居然说自己没有资格拿下对方，这无疑伤了他的自尊。 “哪来这么多的废话，快将他拿下！”
安学明催促道。 “得罪了！”
钟林出手，向着凌寒杀了过去。
莫高想要出手，他知道自己这唯一的学生在剑道上有着出色的领悟力，可修为却是硬伤，六道剑气最多可以让他多三星的战力，可那也只相当于聚元八层依然不是聚元九层的对手。
可凌寒却已经迎了出去，根本连剑也不拔，直接一拳挥出。
嘭！
两人硬拼一记，一道肉眼可见的冲击波荡开，两道人影同时向后退去。
什么！
看到这一幕，所有人都是瞪大了双眼，露出不敢相信的表情。 钟林可是聚元九层啊，居然在实打实的硬拼中没有占到便宜，这怎么可能！ 哪有这么强大的聚元五层？
“小看你了！” 钟林露出慎重之色，他虽然不想被人当枪使，可武者自然有武者的尊严，身为聚元九层若是还不能拿下一个聚元五层，让他脸面何存？
他深深地吸了口气，双手化爪，向着两边张开，左脚弓了起来，犹如一头展翅的雄鹰。
“鹰击长空！”
他怒啸一声，身形窜出，战力瞬间飙升。
战力和境界可不是一回事，在展开武技之后，他的战力顿时飙上了十星。
凌寒只是微微一笑，目光一张，散发出强大的气势。
什么！ 钟林只觉心头一慑，仿佛被一头绵羊被猛虎盯上了，只剩下无尽的恐惧，这一式鹰击长空顿时失去了准头，偏差大得简直离谱。
凌寒随意一脚踹出，踢在了钟林的屁股上，嘭地一下，对方顿时重重地扑倒在地，扬起了一地的灰尘。 全场一片寂静。
在虎阳学院中，钟林绝对算不上高手，但在聚元境这个层次中，他足以排进前百名。 可现在，他居然被一名聚元五层一招轰败，这谁能相信？
“好个小子，难怪这么嚣张，原来还有些实力！” 安学明目射寒光，抬步走了出去，他决定亲自出手。
凌寒微露慎重之色，对方乃是涌泉境，如果将战力具化到聚元境的话，那至少也是二十星，而且，这还没有算上玄级武技的提升。
当然，安学明未必拥有玄级武技。 “退下！”
莫高挡在凌寒面前，怒目圆睁。 之前就算了，但身为凌寒的老师，他绝不可能眼睁睁看着自己的学生受人欺辱！

“And who are you?” Ling Han cast his eyes at the green-clad young man, his gaze becoming severe.
“How dare you speak to me this way! Heng, you are indeed a wicked character!” The green-clad young man said coldly. His eyes were sharp as swords, staring at Ling Han intensely, and a terrifying aura was circulating around his body.
He was an elite of Gushing Spring Tier, and now he was using his aura. This was a kind of domination on the spiritual level.
Ling Han acted as if he felt nothing. He had just taken seven Second Star Pills yesterday, and had greatly increased the strength of his divine sense. Anyone who intended to use his aura to dominate over him would have to be at least in Spiritual Ocean Tier.
The green-clad young man could not help feeling surprised. He had already circulated his aura, but why was there no reaction from Ling Han at all?
“This is An Xue Ming, Elder Brother Disciple An. He is the team leader of Team Seven of the Discipline Committee,” a young man dressed in black said, introducing the identity of the green-clad young man.
‘Another thing, he is also one of Elder Brother’s most faithful followers!’ Feng Luo added internally. Since it was such a good opportunity, he would of course make the most out of all resources available to him and deal with Ling Han once and for all.
The “proof” was already prepared well in advance, and there was still a lackey of his elder brother playing the part of executioner—how would Ling Han be able to escape from this calamity?
“I’m very busy, and I don’t have the time to waste with you! Take me to your place, I want to search it!” An Xue Ming said.
Ling Han placed his hands behind his back, and said, “What right do you have to do such a thing?”
Ling Han laughed loudly and said, “Don’t tell me that you people of the Discipline Committee just need to have a small suspicion, and you can simply rummage and search whoever’s living quarters? If that’s so, it seems like I have lost a bar of soap, and I suspect it was stolen by Wu Song Lin, so I’ll have to trouble you to search his place for it.”
“Pu!”
All of them choked in shock. Who was Wu Song Lin? Headmaster of the Alchemy Department, and a Black Grade high level alchemist. With regards to status, he was slightly higher than even the Headmaster of the Martial Arts Department, Lian Guang Zu. If they actually dared to search through his quarters, wasn’t that practically hoping to die early?
Ling Han really dared to say that. He even dared to make a joke about Wu Song Lin, did he not treasure his life at all?
An Xue Ming’s face twitched madly, feeling that this Ling Han was really a maniac. If the mocking words Ling Han had spoken about Wu Song Lin had actually spread out, he would definitely be beaten to death. How could he joke so casually about a powerful warrior of Spiritual Pedestal Tier? Not to mention that Wu Song Lin had another status in the form of the prestigious position of a Black Grade high level alchemist!
“You are trying to seek your own death!” He spoke coldly. Since Ling Han was such an arrogant fool, there was no need for him to have any more reservations. He said, “You actually dare to insult Master Wu, apprehend him!”
“Oh, let me see, who dares make a move?” Ling Han looked at the others contemptuously, smiling slightly, and said, “You people must consider carefully, and not be made use of by others! Otherwise, if you dare make a move against me, I will not be merciful at all!”
The others hesitated at this. Actually, aside from An Xue Ming, the others did not have much of a relationship with Feng Yan. Furthermore, when they saw the absence of fear in Ling Han’s expression, it seemed as if he had some powerful background. It’d be best if they distanced themselves from this matter, for if they got involved in a fight between two big bosses, minor characters like them would be easily killed.
In that moment, no one dared to take another step forward.
“How dare you! You not only dare to shoot your mouth off, you even dare to threaten members of the Discipline Committee! You are really out of control!” An Xue Ming said darkly, and pointed at Ling Han, “Zhong Lin, apprehend him!”
“Yes, yes!” A young man reluctantly stepped out.
He naturally knew that An Xue Ming was a lackey of Feng Yan, and now this matter involved Feng Luo. Then it was more than obvious that this was a clash between Feng Luo and Ling Han… or it could be considered as a clash between Feng Yan and the person standing behind Ling Han.
And now, he was trapped in between these two powerful parties. Whoever came out the winner of this clash, there was no benefit for him, so of course he was extremely displeased.
But An Xue Ming was the team leader, so unless he intended to resign from the Discipline Committee, he would have to obey the former’s commands.
“Younger Brother Disciple Ling Han, I advise you to surrender!” Zhong Lin moved into an attacking stance. He was in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier while Ling Han was only in the fifth layer, so he had absolute confidence he would be able to apprehend Ling Han within ten moves.
Ling Han shook his head and said, “You still do not have the ability to apprehend me!”
Zhong Lin could not help becoming infuriated. Indeed, he did not have much of a background, but his power of the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier was authentic. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to join the Discipline Committee in the first place. And now a younger brother disciple with cultivation in the mere fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier actually said that Zhong Lin was not capable of apprehending the former. This doubtlessly was a blow to his pride.
“Why are you still blabbering? Apprehend him now!” An Xue Ming urged.
“Excuse me then!” Zhong Lin made his move, and charged towards Ling Han.
Mo Gao wanted to make his move. He knew that this only student of his had an exceptionally high level of comprehension in the art of the sword, but the gap in cultivation levels was a big disadvantage. Six flashes of Sword Qi would grant him an extra three Battle Stars of battle prowess at most. But that still did not matter much as a martial artist of the eighth layer of Element Gathering Tier would still be unable to match an opponent in the ninth layer.
However, Ling Han had already stepped forward to take this attack head on. He did not even draw his sword; instead, he directly threw out a punch.
“Peng!”
The two of them clashed head on, and a visible shock wave spread out from the point of contact. The two figures retreated at the same time.
When they saw this happen, everyone’s eyes widened in shock, wearing disbelieving expressions.
Zhong Lin was in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, yet he did not manage to get the upper hand in a head-on clash? How was that possible! How could there be such a powerful martial artist of the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier? Are you sure you really are in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier?
“I’ve underestimated you!” Zhong Lin instantly looked serious. Though he had no desire to become someone else’s weapon, martial artists would of course have their own pride. As a martial artist in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, if he could not even apprehend an opponent in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier, what would be left of his pride?
He took a deep breath and formed his hands into claws. He stretched out his arms to two different directions, bent and raised his left leg, looking like an eagle that was stretching out its wings in preparation for flight.
“Eagle Soaring in the Sky!”
He gave a furious shout, and his figure sped forwards, his battle prowess spiking instantly.
Battle prowess and cultivation level were two completely different matters. From the moment he used his martial arts technique, his battle prowess had spiked up to ten Battle Stars.
Ling Han only smiled softly, his eyes turning serious, and suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from his figure.
Zhong Lin could only feel his heart trembling, as if he was a little lamb that had caught the eye of a fierce tiger, and he was left with nothing but endless fear. This move ‘Eagle Soaring in the Sky’ suddenly lost its accuracy, and the deviation from his real target was excessively large.
Ling Han nonchalantly aimed a kick at Zhong Lin’s behind, and “peng”, the latter instantly fell onto the ground with a heavy thump, causing a large disturbance to the dust on the ground.
In Hu Yang Academy, Zhong Lin could not be considered an elite, but among those of Element Gathering Tier, his ability was enough to rank him within the top hundred martial artists of Element Gathering Tier. Yet now, he was actually defeated by a mere martial artist in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier in one move, how were they supposed to believe their eyes?

An Xue Ming was in the Gushing Spring Tier, and if you converted his battle prowess to the level of Element Gathering Tier, that would at least be twenty Stars. Furthermore, this estimate had still not included the upgrade granted from the use of Black Grade martial arts techniques.
Of course, An Xue Ming may not possess any kind of Black Grade martial arts technique.
“Back down!” Mo Go stood in front of Ling Han, his eyes wide with rage. He had not stepped in previously, but as Ling Han’s teacher, he would definitely not just stand by and watch as his own student was humiliated by another!

As the Palace Master’s figure appeared in the screen, everyone’s spirit had engulfed the whole palace.\nThese disciples felt an immense proud as they’re different from the others. They grouped themselves into two or three crowds and gathered at the balcony, entrance of the palace, residences, gardens, public, etc. In that instant, everyone was looking up at the water mirror in the sky.\nSome prayed, some shouted loudly and some were in complete rage. All the disciples of the Black Swamp Palace were cheering at the final battle in different ways.\nIvycius and Demon Phoenix stood together with the elders.\nNone of them spoke. Excluding Ivycius and Demon Phoenix, everyone’s face turned pale as they’re oppressed by the immense strength displayed from within.\nSome unconsciously brought themselves into the battle as they started to shiver and almost vomited blood as well.\nIn this level of battle, it’s best to not understand at all as those who were able to understand aura and yet unable to resist it were in the most trouble. They could feel the immense amount of strength and those strength were able to reach them mentally from afar.\nThe battle inside the monitor had far surpassed everyone’s imagination. It wasn’t a battle for a mere mortal but a legendary battle told in the folklore!\nThe black rain in the sky dropped harder.\nThe holy music that appeared once in a while had another voice mixed within it.\n\"Death!

Boom!\nThen the next one followed along.\nThe second piece, third piece.. The tenth piece…\nMore and more hand broke apart and they weren’t able to resist the strength from the Door to Heaven.\nEven if it were to strength of the Eternal Night Palace and Hellgate, it was their limit to be able to hold onto it for this long.\nIt was forbidden to obtain a strength that was able to pull out the Door to Heaven and now this amount of strength wasn’t able to hold on any longer.\n\"Heh… Hehe…\" Garen couldn't stop laughing.\nHe wasn’t sure how the other two were doing but he almost succeeded.\n\"No!!\" Hellgate covered the injury in his waist and the sea of blood behind him rose once more, pushing him to the Door to Heaven.\n\"Die!!\" Divine God Palace Master stroke out a green light and stabbed the back of Hellgate.\nThe Cthulhu King had exhausted all of his strength and the magic mirror on his hand had no light coming out from it.

无数的弟子护卫早已走出宫殿，仰头望着天空水镜中的画面。
拉拉紧紧抱着双臂，看着天空的恐怖战斗，她只感觉浑身发冷。 心头唯一的祈祷就是希望加隆不要死。
一群群黑泽宫的弟子神情狂热的望着天空的这场世界之战，那是决定整个世界的存亡之战。 宫主的身影出现在其中，仿佛一场精神的风暴席卷整个宫殿。
他们三两成群，纷纷聚在不同的地方，台阶上，宫门前，住所前，花园中，广场边等等各种地方，在这一刻，所有人都仰头望着天空水镜。
有人虔诚的祈祷，有人高声狂叫，有人疯狂怒吼，所有弟子都在为黑泽宫最后的战斗奋起呼喊，以不同的方式。
艾菲西斯和魔凰等长老并肩站在一起。
众人都没有说话，只是除开艾菲和魔凰外，所有人都面色发白，被画面中那股恐怖残暴的凶悍战斗压迫得心头喘不过气来。
有人不自觉的将自己带入其中，得到的结果让自己浑身发冷，一口逆血从口中差点喷出。
这样的层面战斗，完全不懂的人还好，而能够看懂却无法承受其气魄压力的人，才是最麻烦的。 他们能够感受到那其中的恐怖和复杂恐怖的巨大压力，那种压力仿佛跨越遥远距离也能传递到自己精神。
画面中的战斗，已经超越了一众人能够想象的极限。 那已经不是凡间的争斗，而是神话般的战争！
天空的黑雨更加密集了。
若有若无的圣歌声不知道什么时候多出了一个声音。
“死亡！ 死亡！
“永恒之死亡！ ！”
仿佛是风的呼啸，是雨的撞击。
科威坦上空绝对庇护的屏障仿佛也在颤抖，不断荡漾起一圈圈透明波纹，仿佛有着什么恐怖的巨力在一次次狠狠撞击护罩。
杰西卡紧紧搀扶着哥德，仰望着天空的战团。
一阵阵恐怖的震荡让大地开裂，天空震荡。
哥德紧紧握紧拳头，指甲几乎要陷进掌心。 他能够感觉到杰西卡注视自己的眼神。
轰隆一声闷响，天空为之一清，无数手臂巨柱断裂。
三团血水以鬼门为中心，将围攻三人分别化为三条血色手臂狠狠按压下去。
其中一道狠狠朝着两人这边飞射过来。
是加隆的身影！
哥德看清了，鬼门明显是故意的，故意将加隆朝着这边送过来。
加隆被巨大黑红手臂狠狠压住，轰然砸落在地。
地面狠狠一震，无数尘土飞扬。
他剧烈咳嗽了数声。 从身上取出一支银色小瓶，拧开后狠狠喝下去。
身体残破得不像样子，但一股莫名的兴奋感源源不断从心头涌动出来。
加隆重重喘了口气，嘿嘿的低沉笑起来。 他能够感觉到，自己体内的力量之种在随着一次次的搏杀升华，和鬼门的战斗几乎就是走钢丝，游走在生死之间，稍不注意就是重伤濒死的结果。
就在这时，磐石城内的血海手臂终于承受不住了。
嘣！ 一根手臂轰然断裂，重重跌落下去。
紧接着又是一根断裂。
越来越多的手臂终于支撑不住持久拉住天国之门的恐怖巨力。
就算是永夜宫结合鬼门的恐怖实力，能够维持这么长时间已经是尽头了。
拉出天国之门本身就是一种违反规则的恐怖力量造成，而现在，这股力量支撑了这么久，已经支持不住了。
“嘿...嘿嘿...”加隆忍不住笑起来。
他不知道其余两人的情况如何，但现在，一切就快要成功了。
鬼门捂着腰部伤口，身后血海猛地最后一涨，将他狠狠冲上浪潮顶端，飞向天国之门。
天神宫主的身影划出一道绿光，狠狠从后方刺向鬼门背部。
邪神王已经无力起身了，他手上的魔镜黯淡无光，整个人也呈现出一种惨败的虚弱感。 他躺在深坑中，一动不能动，只能仰望着天空最后的争斗。
加隆挣扎起身，手中黑色战戟呼啸化为一轮黑月，生之密武在战斗搏杀的升华中，已经临近了突破的边缘。
有着已经突破的鬼门的表现，加隆恐怖的智力属性在这一刻仿佛风暴一般高速旋转激荡，无数灵感的火花仿佛碎片飓风一样，连绵不断从他脑海中刮过。
在遗迹中积存许久的上千潜能点，在此时疯狂的下跌减少起来。 仿佛生之密武的升华也会消耗无数的潜能点。
加隆心头隐隐明白，潜能点可以代替的，是密武修习的积累时间，积累需要的力量都可以以潜能点代替。 而如果遇到真正的门槛，不能以积累达到的层次，潜能点就会毫无用处。
而就在此时，他体内无数的融合之力疯狂压缩，寒冰密武和金属密武不断融合交错，正在以疯狂的速度浓缩成一颗极其细小的种子。
一颗仿佛植入他灵魂最深处的种子。 隐约的，他感觉到自己的灵魂仿佛在飞翔，一种自由毫无顾忌的舒畅感前所未有的从心底最深处涌出。
加隆忍不住狂笑起来。 笑声震荡得整个天空大地都在微微颤抖。
哥德和杰西卡站在加隆身后，被他有意识的控制气势不伤害到两人。
哥德眼神复杂莫名，望着加隆的背影，他张口想要说什么。 杰西卡已经堕落了，他不愿意再因为曾经的悲剧失去自己最好的朋友。
！” 身边的杰西卡陡然一声尖叫，猛地扑过去，挡在加隆身后，正面面对哥德。
一时间哥德愕然，脑子里一片空白。
而有所擦觉的加隆则正在晋升的关键关头，刚要转身。
嗤！
一把仿佛活物的黑色匕首被杰西卡反手刺入加隆的后腰。 匕首瞬间蛇一般扭曲，钻进加隆的腰部伤口。
哥德脑海中一片空白，他瞳孔中映照出杰西卡扭曲而得意的笑脸。
加隆也愣住了，一手按住自己腰部。
加隆踉跄往前走出几步，呆呆的低头看着自己的腹部。
在最关键的晋升关头被打断，刹那间，他体内的生之密武种子散发出来的气息融合之力疯狂乱窜。
呃.....啊....！
他猛地仰起头仰天咆哮。
一圈恐怖的震波以他为中心，朝着四面八方冲开。
杰西卡第一个被狠狠撞飞。 连带着哥德一起，两人飞起在半空中倒射出去，如同被庞大巨物正面撞上一般。
哥德视线模糊了，身体不由自主的稳住落下，他伸出手想要抓住飞起的杰西卡，却终究在半空中缓缓放下。
他能够听出加隆咆哮中的痛苦。 那种被背叛之后的愤怒，不敢置信，疯狂！
杰西卡在半空中疯狂的大笑起来。 她脸上弥漫着绝望和怨毒，却丝毫没有发觉自己早已泪流满面。 嘭！
杰西卡身体狠狠撞在一根凸起的石柱上，头部被一根凸起的石头尖刺刺穿，再没了半点声息。
哥德终于忍不住跪倒在地，双手掩面痛哭起来。
天空此时陡然亮起一圈绿色火环。
整个天地都被照亮了一瞬间。
天神宫主胸膛整个被打塌陷进去，被猛地砸落进下方血海中，激荡起冲天血柱。
整个人仿佛彻底平静一般，静静站在原地。
他小腹处的血洞足有拳头大小，透过洞口可以清楚的看到后方的黑色地面。 但此时这个血洞正在被无数的红色冰晶填充弥补。
技能栏中，黑水真功一栏原先是未命名生之密武字样，而此时随着生之密武的晋升，即使只是不完全晋级，也依旧流出无以计数的恐怖信息量。
无数信息仿佛冰蓝色的液体溪流，在技能栏上不断汇聚，形成一个深蓝漩涡。
一个清晰的名字从加隆心头浮现出来。
那是融合后生之密武自动衍生的名字。
他张开嘴唇。
冰蓝漩涡在这一刹那间停止转动，凝聚成一个极度复杂的强大符文。
一把把蓝色冰晶战戟凭空在他身后空中，戟尖正对天空鬼门。
呼！
加隆双眼燃烧其冰蓝色火焰，那火焰彻底掩盖住眼瞳，只能看到两团不断逸散的冰蓝烟气。
北方..戟兵寒炎真水邪功！ ！
加隆喃喃低声念出。 生之密武的名字仿佛带有某种莫名的魔力，仅仅只是低声默念，加隆身后便缓缓浮现出一个巨大的深蓝漩涡。
那是由无数浮现的冰蓝色战戟组成的庞大漩涡。
一把把战戟宛如精密的齿轮，融入旋涡中，缓缓转动。
下一刻，一阵刺耳的鸟鸣冲天而起。
那刺耳的鸟鸣就是无数战戟划破空气的呼啸。
“这是我的梦想....是我的唯一的梦想！ ！”
猛地举起双臂。
那无尽的冰蓝战戟轰然冲到他的身前，战戟洪流中，加隆的身影缓缓浮现，他手握战戟，无声无息往前一刺。
！ ！”
鬼门狂笑起来，张开双臂，仿佛要迎接什么。
！ ！
狂暴的鲜血血海在天空中猛然爆开，无数的黑红手臂彻底断裂，融进血红血海。
天空的一切都被一片血红彻底掩盖。
鲜血包围中，鬼门一脸希冀的望着加隆，望着这个最终让他功亏一篑的新晋六型。
这里是世界的顶峰，是一切的高空。 没有人能够透过血海看到两人的一切。
鬼门露出一丝温和的微笑。 他的身体被加隆手中战戟刺穿，从双腿开始，正迅速分解化为丝丝缕缕的鲜红血水。
加隆沉默了一下。
“你说。”
鬼门脸上的笑容隐隐透着一丝灿烂。
加隆怔了征。
鬼门灿然一笑，身体陡然分解，其中一点红光嗤的飞射到加隆面前。
那是最为纯粹的一点密武记忆，是他最后留给眼前这位对手的宝物。
梦想两个字的余音还在耳边回荡，加隆怔怔的看着鬼门留下的最后一点礼物。

Countless of disciples and guardians had walked out of the palace and looked at the water mirror in the sky.
Lala held her arms tightly and shivered as she looked at the horrifying battle in the sky. All she prayed for was that Garen would survive in the battle.
Groups of disciples in the Black Swamp Palace was passionately observing this world class battle as it’s the battle that decided the fate of this world. As the Palace Master’s figure appeared in the screen, everyone’s spirit had engulfed the whole palace.
These disciples felt an immense proud as they’re different from the others. They grouped themselves into two or three crowds and gathered at the balcony, entrance of the palace, residences, gardens, public, etc. In that instant, everyone was looking up at the water mirror in the sky.
Some prayed, some shouted loudly and some were in complete rage. All the disciples of the Black Swamp Palace were cheering at the final battle in different ways.
Ivycius and Demon Phoenix stood together with the elders.
None of them spoke. Excluding Ivycius and Demon Phoenix, everyone’s face turned pale as they’re oppressed by the immense strength displayed from within.
Some unconsciously brought themselves into the battle as they started to shiver and almost vomited blood as well.
In this level of battle, it’s best to not understand at all as those who were able to understand aura and yet unable to resist it were in the most trouble. They could feel the immense amount of strength and those strength were able to reach them mentally from afar.
The battle inside the monitor had far surpassed everyone’s imagination. It wasn’t a battle for a mere mortal but a legendary battle told in the folklore!
The black rain in the sky dropped harder.
The holy music that appeared once in a while had another voice mixed within it.
"Death! Death!!"
"Death is eternal!!"
It sounded like the whistle of the wind or the sound of the droplet.
The Ultimate Protection in the Kovitan Empire’s skies trembled as ripples appear one after the other as if there was a strong force hitting on it continuously.
Jesicca held goth tightly as they looked at the battle in the sky.
Those four people had went insane as everytime they collided against each other, the earth shattered and the sky roared.
Goth held his fist so tight that his nails almost pierced through his skin. He could also feel Jessica looking at him as well.
An explosion could be heard and countless of hand columns were torn apart.
With the Hellgate as the epicenter, the trio was pushed down to the ground.
One of them were pushed towards the both of them.
It was Garen!
Goth could clearly see that Hellgate purposely sent Garen to his location.
Garen was hit by the giant dark red arm as he crashed onto the ground.
The ground trembled as countless of dirts floated up into the air.
He cough a few times, took out a silver bottle from his body and immediately drank it.
His injury was beyond serious but a sense of excitement kept flowing out from him.
Garen panted as he started to smile. He could feel that the Seed of Strength inside his body raised every time he fought. Fighting against Hellgate was like walking on a very thin thread where he would die if he were careless.
At this moment, the hand in the Monolith City finally broke down. Boom!
Then the next one followed along.
The second piece, third piece.. The tenth piece…
More and more hand broke apart and they weren’t able to resist the strength from the Door to Heaven.
Even if it were to strength of the Eternal Night Palace and Hellgate, it was their limit to be able to hold onto it for this long.
It was forbidden to obtain a strength that was able to pull out the Door to Heaven and now this amount of strength wasn’t able to hold on any longer.
"Heh… Hehe…" Garen couldn't stop laughing.
He wasn’t sure how the other two were doing but he almost succeeded.
"No!!" Hellgate covered the injury in his waist and the sea of blood behind him rose once more, pushing him to the Door to Heaven.
"Die!!" Divine God Palace Master stroke out a green light and stabbed the back of Hellgate.
The Cthulhu King had exhausted all of his strength and the magic mirror on his hand had no light coming out from it. His entire condition was dire and weak as he laid inside the crater, unable to move and all he could do was to look at the final battle in the sky.
Garen got up and the black halberd in his hand transformed into a wheel of black crescent. The Living Secret Technique had almost reached its edge as he kept battling.
As he’s near the edge of surpassing Hellgate, Garen’s intelligent attribute started to spin and countless of inspiration kept entering into his brain.
Thousands of potential points that he had accumulated inside the ancient ruins started to drop at an incredible rate as if the rise of the Living Secret Technique required countless of potential points.
Garen sort of understood that Potential points can be used to replace the time to learn the Secret Technique and the strengths that he needed can be obtained by Potential points. If he were to really encounter a threshold where there were no tiers, the potential points would be useless.
In that instant, the convergence energy within him started tot shrink as the Ice Secret Technique and Metal Secret Technique kept fusing with each other, forming a small seed at great speed.
The speed were then planted deep into his soul and he could feel that his soul was flying. It felt comfortable and was free from everything.
"This is it… This is it… Hahahaha!!!" Garen started laughing and the whole sky was filled with his laughter.
Jessica and Goth stood behind Garen, who noticed their presence and ensure that his aura didn’t hurt them.
Goth’s expression was strange as he looked at Garen’s back, as if he wanted to say something. Jessica had left everything behind as he didn’t want to lose her best friend because of the tragedy in the past.
"Becareful Garen!! Goth wants to kill you!!" Jessica suddenly shouted as she shielded Garen with her body while facing Goth.
Garen was stunned and his mind went blank.
Garen who was currently at the most crucial part of promotion felt it and was about to turn around.
Stab!
A black dagger-liked being was stabbed into Garen’s back by Jessica. The dagger instantly twisted like a snake and drilled into Garen’s waist.
Goth’s mind went blank as his pupil reflected Jessica’s twisted smile.
Garen was stunned as well as he pressed onto his waist with one of his hand.
Garen walked a few steps to the front as he stared at his abdomen.
He was interrupted at the most crucial moment during his promotion. In that instant, the seed of the Living Secret Technique became unstable and the original bloodline was obstructed and the damage was severe.
Ugh….. Agh..!!!
He raised his head up and roared.
With him at the epicenter, a shockwave was blasted out.
Jessica was the first one to be sent flying off. Together with Goth, both of them were sent flying off as if they were hit by something big.
Goth’s vision turned blur as he tried to gain control of the situation and tried to reach out his hand and grab Jessica but she was falling from the sky slowly.
He could hear Garen’s agony as he was enraged and couldn’t believe of the betrayal!
"Hehehe. Die!! Die die die!! All of you should die!! Hahaha!!" Jessica started to laugh madly in the sky as her face was filled with hopelessness and bitterness and yet she didn’t realize her face was filled with tears.
Boom! Jessica’s body was slammed onto a stone pillar and her head was pierced by a sharp stone and she instantly stopped breathing.
Thud! Goth finally kneeled down and cried as he covered his face with his hands.
The sky was then lightened by a circle of green ring.
The whole sky was instantly brightened up.
The Divine God Palace Master’s chest was deformed by the attack and fall into the sea of blood. Hellgate panted as he moved his attention onto Garen.
No one knew when, but Garen stopped shouting. He was calm and standing still.
The bloody hole in his abdomen was about the size of a fist and one could clearly see the black ground behind him. However the whole was being filled by countless of red ice crystal.
The attribute pane underneath his vision was reacting crazily. In the skill pane, The Black Water True Technique was something like of an unnamed Living Secret Technique. As the Living Secret Technique was learnt, even if it’s not fully learnt, countless of messages appeared.
The messages were frozen by a blue fluid as it kept gathering on the skill pane, forming a deep blue whirlpool.
A clear name appeared inside Garen’s mind.
It was a name automatically derived after merging with the Living Secret Technique.
He opened his lips.
The icy blue whirlpool stopped rotating as it formed into a complicated and strong symbol.
A blue icy crystal halberd appeared behind him, aiming at Hellgate.
Hah!
Garen’s eye was filled with icy blue fire that completely covered his pupil and he could only see two icy blue smoke.
Northern… Trident Frost-Fire True Water technique!!
Garen muttered softly. The name of the Living Secret Technique carried a mysterious magic power. As he softly muttered it, a giant dark blue whirlpool appeared behind Garen.
It was a huge whirlpool constructed with countless of blue crystal halberds.
The halberds were mixed together into the whirlpool like an exquisite gear as it moved slowly.
In that instant, a deafening chirp soared into the sky.
Countless of icy blue halberd soared into the sky from Garen’s back and the deafening chirp was created by the countless of sonic boom as the halberd moved forward.
"This is my dream… my only dream!!" Hellgate muttered as his expression became firm and his gaze, crazy.
He raised up both of his hands.
Countless of icy blue halberd rushed towards him and within the stream of halbert, Garen’s figure appeared and with a halberd in his hand, he stabbed forward.
"Towld!!!"
Hellgate started laughing as he opened his hand, as if he was welcoming something.
Thud!!!
The sea of blood in the middle of the sky exploded and all of the dark red hands broke apart and assimilated into the sea of blood.
The sky was completely dyed in red.
As they were covered in fresh blood, Hellgate looked at Garen, the person who had just entered form six and destroyed what he had built.
This was the peak of the world and no one could see them through the sea of blood.
"Can you accept one of my request?" Hellgate smiled gently as his body was pierced through by Garen’s halbert. His body was slowly disintegrating into pool of fresh blood starting from his legs.
Garen kept quiet for a moment.
Hellgate smiled happily.
"Please go into the Door to Heaven in my stead. I want to know what’s inside, what’s inside…"
Garen was stunned.
"That’s my only dream…" Hellgate smiled as his body disintegrated while one of the red light flew in front of Garen.
It was a pure Secret Technique memory and it was a gift left behind by his opponent.
The word dream kept reverberating in his ears as Garen looked at the gift given by Hellgate.

"value": "Chapter 438: Oh, I See Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem\nA wholly-new Buckthorn seed came into being in Castle of Black Iron!\nThis was the best news that Zhang Tie had ever heard in this period.\n\"What's the difference between the new Buckthorn seed and that of before?\" Zhang Tie asked Heller in mind.\n\"New Buckthorn seed's adaptability to environment is 27% greater than that of the old ones. They have a greater viability. They could live in colder and dryer regions. Actually, the new seed could survive all the regions in Ice and Snow Wilderness whereas old Buckthorn seed could not.\"\n\"Besides, new Buckthorn seed could increase the fertility of soil by 12%. Soil with the new Buckthorn seed has higher activity. As a wholly-new species, new Buckthorn seed is different from the old one in many aspects. The size of new Buckthorn seed is 15%-20% bigger than that of the old one. Additionally, it tastes better; additionally, a new Buckthorn tree's output is 8%-14% higher than that of the old Buckthorn tree. What's more is that new Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain some aura values!\"\n\"New Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain some aura values?\" Zhang Tie became slightly stunned.\n\"Right, original Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain few aura values; however, the aura values in new Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves has increased by over 300%!\"\n\"How long do I need to wait until Castle of Black Iron provides these new Buckthorn seeds to me?\"\n\"At least 1 month. By then, Castle of Black Iron could provide Castle Lord with about 15 kg of new Buckthorn seeds. From then on, the provision will remain unchanged in each month!\"\n\"As most of the land in Castle of Black Iron has been used, there's few vacant land available. If we want more new Buckthorn seeds from Castle of Black Iron, we have to expand the arable land in it. Therefore, we need a great quantity of energy storage!\"\nZhang Tie had not imagined that he finally came back to this problem, which was really annoying——no matter how many things he moved inside, he still could not cater to its demand.\n\"Do you have any good suggestions to solve this problem?\"\n\"Unless Castle Lord returns back to the sea!\"\n\"You mean this is the only method to increase the basic energy storage of Castle of Black Iron?\"\n\"It depends on your personal ability. If you are able to lift a mountain, just drop it into the Pool of Chaos!\"\n\"Alright, I will deal with this problem later. I'm already very happy to have obtained new Buckthorn seeds. I've got a lot of problems to deal with.\" thinking about this, Zhang Tie gradually recovered his composure.\n\"What's the name of the new Buckthorn seed?\"\n\"It's waiting for you to name it!\"\n\"Now that it appears in this age, just call it black-iron Buckthorn as a souvenir.\"\n\"Fine!\"\nAfter communicating with Heller, Zhang Tie started to consider about the current problem in the small cabin.\nHe could not consider other problems; but he had to clean off the bone-exploding needles as fast as possible as its threat to him was like worms gnawing his bones. It seemed that he had 2 methods to eliminate the threat of bone-exploding needles.\n\"The 1st method is that I have to seek a chance to escape right away. If I leave the grey eagle tribe, I have to find a remote place and enter Castle of Black Iron. After that, it will take me a few days to remove the threat. Although this method was feasible but the moment the senior of the grey eagle tribe sensed that the bone-exploding needles disappeared in my body, he would find the secret of Castle of Black Iron. If this secret is exposed, whether there will be consecutive bigger troubles, whether could I still stay in Ice and Snow Wilderness to continue the plan to improve my fighting strength.\"\n\"The 2nd method is that I will continue to stay here. I will keep consuming the energy of bone-exploding needles in my body until there was only few left. By then, even though the bone-exploding needles are activated by the senior, they will not threaten my safety anymore. After that, I could take the remaining ineffective bone-exploding needles as a cover so that I could collect 9 huge-wolf seven-strength fruits. Soon after I reach my target, I will return to Blackhot City.\"\n\"The benefit of the second method is remarkable. However, as a slave in grey eagle tribe, I might not be able to move freely here. Therefore, I need to make a good plan for that.\"\nWhen Zhang Tie was racking his mind, he saw a young man standing still just outside the door. After that, he revealed a smile. \"As I'm new here, I'd better figure out the situation.\"\nZhang Tie got off the bed. The moment he opened the door, he saw the young man's head who was staring at Zhang Tie full of alert while putting his hand on the handle of the saber.\n\"You can not escape from here. Go back!\" the young man told Zhang Tie with a cold face.\n\"Easy, buddy, I'm just taking a fresh breath; it's a bit stuffy inside!\" Zhang Tie told a lie as he returned into the room.\nSeeing Zhang Tie moving back, the young man moved his hand off the handle of the saber.\nZhang Tie then sat on the stool against the door. After that, he put his hand inside his pocket and took out 2 gold coins from Castle of Black Iron at once.\nHe started to flip the 2 gold coins. Soon after the 2 colliding gold coins caused several crispy sounds did that young man turn around once again. At the sight of the 2 brilliant golden coins in Zhang Tie's hands, he forcefully swallowed his saliva as his eyes gleamed.\nWhat did Crell say? Gold coins could turn demons into donkeys who only knew about pulling the milestone for grounding grains. Even demons could not stand the allure of gold coins, not to mention mortals. Perhaps someone truly didn't like money, but there was few such people. At least from the look of this young man, he was a member of the mortals. He had not been as noble as treating money as feces.\n\"It's really boring to stay here alone. If you talk with me, you will have 1 of the 2 gold coins, how about that?\" Zhang Tie started to allure him.\n\"Do not dream that I can let you go!\" the young man became very alert. Although with eyes fixed on the 2 gold coins, he was still sensible.\n\"Look, how dare I escape. I'm just chatting with you. I swear to not walk out of this door!\"\n\"Don't expect to get the secret of grey eagle tribe from me either!\" the young man waved his head once again.\n\"You're wrong. I'm not a mole or detective. You don't need to tell me any secret. You just talk to me about the information that each villager knows. Look, I'm neither a subversive nor saboteur; otherwise, Setton would not allow me to keep my gold coins. Am I right?\" Zhang Tie revealed an innocent smile.\n\"Is that...true? Only by chatting with you can I obtain 1 gold coin...\" the young man became excited right away.\n\"Of course, O'Laura is too poor. She lost her parents 2 decades ago. If not Setton and senior Merkel, I don't even know how can she survive so many schemes!\" Zhang Tie sighed like he knew well about the situation of grey eagle tribe, \"Look, I just want to chat with someone!\"\nZhang Tie's words dispelled the young man's final concern. In the next half an hour, Zhang Tie almost knew everything that he wanted to know from the young man. As a result, the details of the whole grey eagle tribe started to become clear in Zhang Tie's mind.\nBefore eight, O'Laura was living like a princess in the grey eagle tribe. She was very beautiful. What was more important is that she had showed an extremely high talent in cultivation since she started to learn how to walk. She was identified as a cultivation talent who would not appear in the grey eagle tribe for 100 years by the priest in the tribe. Her father was the head of the tribe while her mother was the most beautiful woman in the tribe. At that time, someone said that her mother was not only the most beautiful woman in the grey eagle tribe, but also the most beautiful one across Ice and Snow Wilderness.\nBorn in such a family, O'Laura should have lived a dreamlike life; however, the reality was cruel. When her mother's beautiful look became increasingly well-known in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, troubles arrived. A group of bandits which was influential across the south prairie of Ice and Snow Wilderness fixed their eyes on her mother. When O'Laura's parents made a cruise with a few fighters, they were raided by those bandits. As a result, O'Laura's mother was robbed away.\nWhat was worse, O'Laura's father died in the raid. O'Laura's mother chose to commit suicide in order to resist those bandits's offense. From then on, O'Laura's life completely changed. Although those bandits were finally swept by the allied tribes in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, O'Laura couldn't return to her previous life anymore.\nAfter the death of O'Laura's father, the other 2 seniors of the tribe who were docile previously started to have evil thoughts. After taking the power of the tribe, they didn't want to give it back to a girl. Additionally, many people were casting grey eyes on the fertile land of grey eagle tribe. They wanted take down the grey eagle tribe by controlling O'Laura.\nTherefore, as was imagined, O'Laura was facing a pretty great stress in daily life.\nNot to mention those outside the tribe, even Juventus and Ollier in the grey eagle tribe were definitely the biggest obstacle in O'Laura's way to take the power of the tribe. Now, Juventus was the financial minister of the tribe while Ollier controlled over 2/3 of the total armed forces of the tribe with the help of his sons and his trusted followers.\nWith the support of Setton and senior Merkel, although O'Laura was the official successor of grey eagle tribe, her force was limited.\nAlthough there was a conflict between Juventus and Ollier, they had reached a tacit agreement on dealing with O'Laura and preventing O'Laura from taking the power of grey eagle tribe. Not only providing even 1 copper coin to O'Laura, Juventus even always asked a lot of money from her at the excuse of many improper reasons. Therefore, it became harder for O'Laura to establish her force and majesty in grey eagle tribe. Therefore, O'Laura chose to be a bounty hunter. On one hand, it indicated that she had a great fighting strength; on the other hand, she had no other choices. She had to make money.\nAlthough Juventus was treating O'Laura by not providing her with money but still saved her face to a certain degree; however, Ollier was almost shameless.\nOllier always declared to the outside that the only condition for O'Laura to take the power of the tribe was that she had to marry one of his son. Only by this could the grey eagle tribe not be annexed by other tribes.\nAfter knowing the details, Zhang Tie finally understood why Setton told him to not reveal the message that senior Merkel helped him and O'Laura to deal with him. If not, it would be a great strike to O'Laura's dignity in the grey eagle tribe.\nHow come a woman being captured was qualified to be the head of a tribe? Zhang Tie understood the situation of O'Laura now. \"I'm really a freak, maybe I'm the first one to defeat O'Laura since she became a bounty hunter!\"\n\"Actually, for O'Laura, the safest way was to directly kill me on that night after I was controlled by that senior Merkel. After that, she could even take my head for bounty. However, she didn't do that. She kept me alive.\" Zhang Tie felt mixed moods immediately. After learning that, Zhang Tie couldn't forget the scene when the slender woman hugged her knees alone in the carriage.\n2 hours later, someone brought Zhang Tie with his supper. It was just a brown bread, fresh water and a cup of Buckthorn wine. When Zhang Tie was having them, he heard a noisy sound outside the cabin.\n\"What are you here for?\" the young man asked.\n\"At the order of senior Ollier, we're here to execute the criminal that was brought back by O'Laura!\" another arrogant voice sounded.\n\"None of you is allowed in!\" the young man replied furiously at once."

第三章
黑铁之堡已经得到了一种全新的沙棘树的种子！
这几乎是这段时间张铁听到的最好的消息。
“新的沙棘树种和以前的有什么不同？” 用意识问了海勒一个问题。
“新的沙棘对环境的适应性比以前的普通沙棘提高了27%，有着更强的生存能力，可以在更加寒冷与干旱的地带生活，冰雪荒原上以前那些沙棘无法生存的一些地区，新的沙棘都能生存。”
因为是全新的品种，这种沙棘还有更多的与原生沙棘不同的地方，新的沙棘的果实比原生的沙棘果实在个头上要大出15%——20%，而且口感更好,一颗沙棘树的果实产量也会高出8%-14%,，最重要的是，新的沙棘树的果实和树叶当中还会含有少量的灵气！”
“新的沙棘树的果实和树叶之中含有少量的灵气？” 张铁微微诧异了一下。
“不错，原生沙棘树果实和树叶中的灵气值含量非常低，几乎可以忽略不计，但新的沙棘树的果实和树叶的灵气值含量比起原生的沙棘来已经提高了300%以上！”
“需要多久黑铁之堡可以大批量的向我提供这种沙棘树的种子？”
“最短要一个月，黑铁之堡可以像堡主大人提供十五公斤左右的新的沙棘树的种子，以后每个月大概都能保持这个数量！”
“现在黑铁之堡的空间利用已经到了极致，地表上的土地，已经没有多少闲置的了，想要黑铁之堡能大规模的提供这种新沙棘的种子，黑铁之堡的陆地面积必须要扩大才行。
张铁没想到问题绕了一圈后又回到了这里，这个问题的确很让人恼火，对黑铁之堡这么一个庞然大物来说。
“要解决这个问题，你有什么好的建议吗？”
“除非堡主大人重新回到海里，否则的话暂时没有比这更好的增加黑铁之堡基本能量储备的解决方案！”
“难道我想要快速增加黑铁之堡的基本能量储备只有这么一个办法？”
“这一切都取决于堡主大人本身的能力，如果你有本事把一座山举起来的话，你尽管把那座山丢到混沌之池，不要担心它消化不了！”
这次能得到新的沙棘树的种子自己已经很高兴了，饭要一口一口吃，慢慢看吧，自己现在还有一大堆问题要解决呢。
“对了，新的沙棘的种子叫什么名字？”
“正要请堡主大人为它命名！”
“既然这种新的沙棘是这个时代才第一次出现的，那就叫它黑铁沙棘吧，算是做个纪念。”
“好的！”
和海勒交流完毕之后，张铁一个人在小木屋里呆坐了一下。
别的问题先可以放下，但爆骨针的威胁如跗骨之蛆，如影随形，这是一定要把它除掉的，要除掉爆骨针的威胁。 眼前看来有两个办法可以选择。
第一个办法是自己找机会马上逃走，只要离开灰鹰部落，找个无人之地进入到黑铁之堡后用几天时间就能把这个威胁解除，这个办法看起来挺爽快，但有一个问题，一旦灰鹰部落的长老感应到他留在自己身上的爆骨针瞬间消失，黑铁之堡的秘密会不会就此暴露呢，而这个秘密一旦暴露，是否会有更大的麻烦接踵而至，自己还能否继续在冰雪荒原继续自己的实力提升计划，这都是要必须思考的问题。
除此之外的第二个办法，就是自己继续呆在这里，悄悄的把爆骨针的能量消耗得只剩下一丝，即使被人发动也威胁不到自己安全，然后就利用身体内的爆骨针作为掩护，放心大胆的在这里先把九颗巨狼七力果弄到后，再快速远遁，直接离开冰雪荒原回到黑炎城。
第二个办法的好处显而易见，但也有一个问题，自己现在在灰鹰部落的身份可是有些尴尬，这几天在这里估计不会呆得舒服，行动上也有一些限制，这同样需要好好的筹划一下。
张铁正在这里皱着眉头冥思苦想，然后，他的眼睛，就看到了那个尽忠职守站在门外监视着自己的那个年轻人，然后，张铁就笑了，自己现在两眼一抹黑，还是先摸清楚这里的情况再说。
张铁下了床，走了过去，一下子打开了房门，房门一开打，那个守在门外的年轻人就一下子偏过了头来，眼神充满了警惕，手一下子就摸在了腰间的刀柄上。
“你不能离开这里，回去！” 年轻人冷着脸对张铁说道。
“不要这么紧张，我只是打开门透透气，里面有点闷！” 张铁打了个哈哈，重新回到了房间里。
看着张铁重新回到房间里，那个年轻人的手才从刀柄上离开。
在房间里找了饿一个凳子对着门坐下的张铁笑了笑，借着把自己的手伸进衣服口袋的机会，一下子就从黑铁之堡中转移出来两枚金币。
张铁把那两枚金币拿在手上抛着玩，那两枚金币清脆的撞击声只在房间里响了几下，守在门口的那个年轻人就再次转过了头，看到张铁手上那两枚黄灿灿的金币，眼睛里一下子放出了一道光彩，用力的咽了一口口水。
克雷尔的那句话是怎么说来着——金币的魅力可以让魔鬼都甘心变成推磨的驴，连魔鬼都抵挡不住金币的诱惑，何况凡人，或许有的人真的不爱钱，但是那样的人，估计只是少数，至少眼前这一位从他的表情上来说就是属于大众中的一员。
思想觉悟还没有高到视钱财如粪土的地步。 “我一个人在这里实在是无聊，想找个人聊聊天，如果你能和我聊聊的话。
这两个金币中的一个就是你的，你看怎么样！” 张铁直接裸的诱惑起来。
“你想到哪里去了，我怎么会想逃走呢，我只是想和你聊聊天，绝对不会跨出这道门半步！”
“你也休想让我泄露灰鹰部落里的秘密！” 年轻人再次摇了摇头。
“你更错了，我可不是间谍和探子。 你不用告诉我什么秘密，只要随便和我聊聊在这里你们每个人都知道的事情就可以了，你看，我其实并不危险。 更不是什么破坏分子，要不然的话塞顿也不会放心我到现在还能把钱带在身上，你说是吗？”
只要随便和你聊聊天就可以得到一个金币……”年轻人一下子有些意动起来。
要不是塞顿和莫科长老，我都不知道她这些年是怎么能在那么多居心叵测的家伙的算计下坚持下来的！” 张铁用一种很了解灰鹰部落的情况的口气感叹着，“你看，我真的只是想找个人随便聊聊天而已！”
张铁的这句话彻底打消了那个年轻人最后的顾虑，在接下来的半个小时。 就在那随意的聊天中，看守着张铁的那个年轻人几乎把张铁想知道的一切都告诉了张铁，整个灰鹰部落的情况和细节一下子就在张铁的脑袋里面丰富和生动起来。
在八岁之前，奥劳拉在灰鹰部落都过着公主一样的生活，她不光人长得漂亮，更重要的是，几乎从她学会走路开始，就表现出极高的修炼天赋，被部落里的祭司认定为灰鹰部落里百年不遇的修炼天才，她的父亲，是灰鹰部落的族长，她的母亲，是当时部落里最漂亮的女人，当时就有人说她的母亲不仅是灰鹰部落里最漂亮的，就是在整个冰雪荒原，能比她母亲还漂亮的女人，似乎也不容易找得出来。
出身在这种家庭的在奥劳拉原本应该过着让所有人都梦寐以求的生活，但现实却是残酷的，当她母亲那美丽的容貌在冰雪荒原的南部变得比灰鹰部落还要有名的时候，祸事就来了，一股当年纵横冰雪荒原南部草原的强盗盯上了奥劳拉的母亲，在一次奥劳拉的父母一起带着少量部落战士外出巡游的时候，那股强盗发动了突袭，想把奥劳拉的母亲掳走。
奥劳拉的父亲在强盗的突袭中死了，奥劳拉母亲也没有活下来，而是选择了自杀，那股强盗的目的没有达到，但奥劳拉的整个人生，却就此改变了。 虽然那伙强盗最后被冰雪荒原南部各部落联起手来消灭了，但奥劳拉却也永远回不到以前的生活。
在灰鹰部落里，原本安分守己的两个部落长老在奥劳拉的父亲死后就开始有了别的想法，在把部落的权利揣到自己口袋之后就不想再把它交到一个女人的手上，而在外面，同样有不少觊觎着灰鹰部落这块肥肉的人在对奥劳拉虎视眈眈，把奥劳拉当做吞下灰鹰部落最好的突破口。
在这样环境中的生活的奥劳拉的压力可想而知。
在外面的那些人就不用说了，而在灰鹰部落的三个长老里面，尤文图斯和奥利耶夫两个人就绝对是奥劳拉继承部落权力最大的障碍。 尤文图斯现在掌握着灰鹰部落里的财政大权，奥利耶夫则通过他的几个儿子和亲信掌握着灰鹰部落里超过三分之二的武装力量。
在塞顿和莫科长老的支持下，奥劳拉虽然占据着灰鹰部落正统继承者的地位，但其手上掌握的力量，其实非常有限。
在尤文图斯的手上，奥劳拉不仅得不到一个铜板的支持，还经常要被尤文图斯以各种理由要去大笔辛苦赚来的金钱，没有钱，奥劳拉在灰鹰部落里建立自己实力和威望的努力就更加的艰辛。 奥劳拉之所以成为赏金猎手，这既是对她实力的一种证明，但从另外一个侧面来说，这完全也是无奈之举，因为没有谁的钱是可以从天上掉下来的。
如果说尤文图斯对付奥劳拉的手段是釜底抽薪，但还保留着几分面子的话，奥利耶夫对奥劳拉的逼迫则近乎无耻了。
奥利耶夫则经常对外宣称，奥劳拉想要执掌部落大权的条件只有一个，那就是在他的几个儿子中选一个作为自己的丈夫，因为只有这样，才能保证灰鹰部落不会被别人吞并。
在知道这些情况后，张铁终于知道塞顿要自己封口的原因了，因为自己一旦把莫科长老出手对付自己的事情说出去，那么，这对奥劳拉在灰鹰部落的声望来说，绝对是一个巨大的打击。
一个被人俘虏过的女人有什么资格能成为一个部落的领袖呢？ 张铁一下子明白了奥劳拉的处境，自己这个怪胎或许是自奥劳拉成为赏金猎手以来第一次失手的情况吧！
其实对奥劳拉来说，最稳妥的办法就是在莫科长老出手的那晚就干脆利落的把自己干掉，拿着自己的脑袋去领赏金，如此就没有了任何的后患，但那个女人却没有对自己下辣手，而是让自己活下去，这让张铁的心里一下子就有了一种复杂的感受。 在了解了这些情况后，那个一个人坐车车厢里，孤独的抱着自己膝盖的女人的消瘦背影不知道为什么又出现在张铁的脑子里，怎么也挥之不去。
两个小时后，有人给张铁送来了晚饭，那晚饭是简单的粗面包，清水，还有一份沙棘酒，就在张铁正在吃着这些东西的时候，小屋外面，一片嘈杂的脚步声响了起来。
“你们来干什么！” 这个声音是看守着张铁的那个年轻人的。
“奉奥利耶夫长老的命令，我们来处决奥劳拉带回来的那个通缉犯！” ，一个嚣张的声音响了起来。
“你们谁都不能进去！” 那个年轻人的声音一下子充满了愤怒。

Chapter 438: Oh, I See Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
A wholly-new Buckthorn seed came into being in Castle of Black Iron!
This was the best news that Zhang Tie had ever heard in this period.
"What's the difference between the new Buckthorn seed and that of before?" Zhang Tie asked Heller in mind.
"New Buckthorn seed's adaptability to environment is 27% greater than that of the old ones. They have a greater viability. They could live in colder and dryer regions. Actually, the new seed could survive all the regions in Ice and Snow Wilderness whereas old Buckthorn seed could not."
"Besides, new Buckthorn seed could increase the fertility of soil by 12%. Soil with the new Buckthorn seed has higher activity. As a wholly-new species, new Buckthorn seed is different from the old one in many aspects. The size of new Buckthorn seed is 15%-20% bigger than that of the old one. Additionally, it tastes better; additionally, a new Buckthorn tree's output is 8%-14% higher than that of the old Buckthorn tree. What's more is that new Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain some aura values!"
"New Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain some aura values?" Zhang Tie became slightly stunned.
"Right, original Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves contain few aura values; however, the aura values in new Buckthorn seeds and tree leaves has increased by over 300%!"
"How long do I need to wait until Castle of Black Iron provides these new Buckthorn seeds to me?"
"At least 1 month. By then, Castle of Black Iron could provide Castle Lord with about 15 kg of new Buckthorn seeds. From then on, the provision will remain unchanged in each month!"
"As most of the land in Castle of Black Iron has been used, there's few vacant land available. If we want more new Buckthorn seeds from Castle of Black Iron, we have to expand the arable land in it. Therefore, we need a great quantity of energy storage!"
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he finally came back to this problem, which was really annoying——no matter how many things he moved inside, he still could not cater to its demand.
"Do you have any good suggestions to solve this problem?"
"Unless Castle Lord returns back to the sea!"
"You mean this is the only method to increase the basic energy storage of Castle of Black Iron?"
"It depends on your personal ability. If you are able to lift a mountain, just drop it into the Pool of Chaos!"
"Alright, I will deal with this problem later. I'm already very happy to have obtained new Buckthorn seeds. I've got a lot of problems to deal with." thinking about this, Zhang Tie gradually recovered his composure.
"What's the name of the new Buckthorn seed?"
"It's waiting for you to name it!"
"Now that it appears in this age, just call it black-iron Buckthorn as a souvenir."
"Fine!"
After communicating with Heller, Zhang Tie started to consider about the current problem in the small cabin.
He could not consider other problems; but he had to clean off the bone-exploding needles as fast as possible as its threat to him was like worms gnawing his bones. It seemed that he had 2 methods to eliminate the threat of bone-exploding needles.
"The 1st method is that I have to seek a chance to escape right away. If I leave the grey eagle tribe, I have to find a remote place and enter Castle of Black Iron. After that, it will take me a few days to remove the threat. Although this method was feasible but the moment the senior of the grey eagle tribe sensed that the bone-exploding needles disappeared in my body, he would find the secret of Castle of Black Iron. If this secret is exposed, whether there will be consecutive bigger troubles, whether could I still stay in Ice and Snow Wilderness to continue the plan to improve my fighting strength."
"The 2nd method is that I will continue to stay here. I will keep consuming the energy of bone-exploding needles in my body until there was only few left. By then, even though the bone-exploding needles are activated by the senior, they will not threaten my safety anymore. After that, I could take the remaining ineffective bone-exploding needles as a cover so that I could collect 9 huge-wolf seven-strength fruits. Soon after I reach my target, I will return to Blackhot City."
"The benefit of the second method is remarkable. However, as a slave in grey eagle tribe, I might not be able to move freely here. Therefore, I need to make a good plan for that."
When Zhang Tie was racking his mind, he saw a young man standing still just outside the door. After that, he revealed a smile. "As I'm new here, I'd better figure out the situation."
Zhang Tie got off the bed. The moment he opened the door, he saw the young man's head who was staring at Zhang Tie full of alert while putting his hand on the handle of the saber.
"You can not escape from here. Go back!" the young man told Zhang Tie with a cold face.
"Easy, buddy, I'm just taking a fresh breath; it's a bit stuffy inside!" Zhang Tie told a lie as he returned into the room.
Seeing Zhang Tie moving back, the young man moved his hand off the handle of the saber.
Zhang Tie then sat on the stool against the door. After that, he put his hand inside his pocket and took out 2 gold coins from Castle of Black Iron at once.
He started to flip the 2 gold coins. Soon after the 2 colliding gold coins caused several crispy sounds did that young man turn around once again. At the sight of the 2 brilliant golden coins in Zhang Tie's hands, he forcefully swallowed his saliva as his eyes gleamed.
What did Crell say? Gold coins could turn demons into donkeys who only knew about pulling the milestone for grounding grains. Even demons could not stand the allure of gold coins, not to mention mortals. Perhaps someone truly didn't like money, but there was few such people. At least from the look of this young man, he was a member of the mortals. He had not been as noble as treating money as feces.
"It's really boring to stay here alone. If you talk with me, you will have 1 of the 2 gold coins, how about that?" Zhang Tie started to allure him.
"Do not dream that I can let you go!" the young man became very alert. Although with eyes fixed on the 2 gold coins, he was still sensible.
"Look, how dare I escape. I'm just chatting with you. I swear to not walk out of this door!"
"Don't expect to get the secret of grey eagle tribe from me either!" the young man waved his head once again.
"You're wrong. I'm not a mole or detective. You don't need to tell me any secret. You just talk to me about the information that each villager knows. Look, I'm neither a subversive nor saboteur; otherwise, Setton would not allow me to keep my gold coins. Am I right?" Zhang Tie revealed an innocent smile.
"Is that...true? Only by chatting with you can I obtain 1 gold coin..." the young man became excited right away.
"Of course, O'Laura is too poor. She lost her parents 2 decades ago. If not Setton and senior Merkel, I don't even know how can she survive so many schemes!" Zhang Tie sighed like he knew well about the situation of grey eagle tribe, "Look, I just want to chat with someone!"
Zhang Tie's words dispelled the young man's final concern. In the next half an hour, Zhang Tie almost knew everything that he wanted to know from the young man. As a result, the details of the whole grey eagle tribe started to become clear in Zhang Tie's mind.
Before eight, O'Laura was living like a princess in the grey eagle tribe. She was very beautiful. What was more important is that she had showed an extremely high talent in cultivation since she started to learn how to walk. She was identified as a cultivation talent who would not appear in the grey eagle tribe for 100 years by the priest in the tribe. Her father was the head of the tribe while her mother was the most beautiful woman in the tribe. At that time, someone said that her mother was not only the most beautiful woman in the grey eagle tribe, but also the most beautiful one across Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Born in such a family, O'Laura should have lived a dreamlike life; however, the reality was cruel. When her mother's beautiful look became increasingly well-known in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, troubles arrived. A group of bandits which was influential across the south prairie of Ice and Snow Wilderness fixed their eyes on her mother. When O'Laura's parents made a cruise with a few fighters, they were raided by those bandits. As a result, O'Laura's mother was robbed away.
What was worse, O'Laura's father died in the raid. O'Laura's mother chose to commit suicide in order to resist those bandits's offense. From then on, O'Laura's life completely changed. Although those bandits were finally swept by the allied tribes in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness, O'Laura couldn't return to her previous life anymore.
After the death of O'Laura's father, the other 2 seniors of the tribe who were docile previously started to have evil thoughts. After taking the power of the tribe, they didn't want to give it back to a girl. Additionally, many people were casting grey eyes on the fertile land of grey eagle tribe. They wanted take down the grey eagle tribe by controlling O'Laura.
Therefore, as was imagined, O'Laura was facing a pretty great stress in daily life.
Not to mention those outside the tribe, even Juventus and Ollier in the grey eagle tribe were definitely the biggest obstacle in O'Laura's way to take the power of the tribe. Now, Juventus was the financial minister of the tribe while Ollier controlled over 2/3 of the total armed forces of the tribe with the help of his sons and his trusted followers.
With the support of Setton and senior Merkel, although O'Laura was the official successor of grey eagle tribe, her force was limited.
Although there was a conflict between Juventus and Ollier, they had reached a tacit agreement on dealing with O'Laura and preventing O'Laura from taking the power of grey eagle tribe. Not only providing even 1 copper coin to O'Laura, Juventus even always asked a lot of money from her at the excuse of many improper reasons. Therefore, it became harder for O'Laura to establish her force and majesty in grey eagle tribe. Therefore, O'Laura chose to be a bounty hunter. On one hand, it indicated that she had a great fighting strength; on the other hand, she had no other choices. She had to make money.
Although Juventus was treating O'Laura by not providing her with money but still saved her face to a certain degree; however, Ollier was almost shameless.
Ollier always declared to the outside that the only condition for O'Laura to take the power of the tribe was that she had to marry one of his son. Only by this could the grey eagle tribe not be annexed by other tribes.
After knowing the details, Zhang Tie finally understood why Setton told him to not reveal the message that senior Merkel helped him and O'Laura to deal with him. If not, it would be a great strike to O'Laura's dignity in the grey eagle tribe.
How come a woman being captured was qualified to be the head of a tribe? Zhang Tie understood the situation of O'Laura now. "I'm really a freak, maybe I'm the first one to defeat O'Laura since she became a bounty hunter!"
"Actually, for O'Laura, the safest way was to directly kill me on that night after I was controlled by that senior Merkel. After that, she could even take my head for bounty. However, she didn't do that. She kept me alive." Zhang Tie felt mixed moods immediately. After learning that, Zhang Tie couldn't forget the scene when the slender woman hugged her knees alone in the carriage.
2 hours later, someone brought Zhang Tie with his supper. It was just a brown bread, fresh water and a cup of Buckthorn wine. When Zhang Tie was having them, he heard a noisy sound outside the cabin.
"What are you here for?" the young man asked.
"At the order of senior Ollier, we're here to execute the criminal that was brought back by O'Laura!" another arrogant voice sounded.
"None of you is allowed in!" the young man replied furiously at once.

"value": "Chapter 407: Doomed\nSuddenly, the black cloth enveloping the sky started to shrink, transforming into a whip which quickly shot down into the forest below. Like a phantom, it quickly faded in and out of the trees. However, there was no sign of it approaching the fort at all. Rather, it looked as though someone was just running across the forest with a sheet over their bodies as a prank.\nWith a full body of armor and his spear at the ready, Miao Yi turned back to look at Yan Beihong in confusion, as though asking, 'What are you playing at?'\nYan Beihong laughed. \"Careful. It's starting.\"\nMiao Yi quickly turned his head back. To his surprise, there was no longer any sign of the black cloth among the trees below. His eyes then quickly darted from side to side as he raised his spear and slowly turned; he didn't dare to miss out on the slightest signs of movement around him.\nSuddenly, there was a rustling in the grass nearby. Miao Yi instantly shot a glance over but noticed it was just a snake slithering across the grass. He paid it no heed and continued to survey his surroundings.\n'No, wait! That's a black snake!' The thought suddenly flashed through Miao Yi's mind.\nBy the time he reacted, the 'black snake' in the grass was already shooting towards him like an arrow.\nClang! Miao Yi quickly knocked it away with his spear.\nAs soon as it touched the ground, the 'black snake' shot back out. Its speed was incredibly fast. Fortunately, Miao Yi's spear didn't exactly lag behind either.\nHowever, even though this 'black snake' was as tough as a steel arrow when it attacked, the instant the Inversed-Scales Spear struck it, it became as soft as cotton. As such, Miao Yi was unable to push such a flimsy transcendent artifact any considerable distance away, and although it was being knocked away each time, the 'black snake' was gradually pulling closer to Miao Yi. What's more, given its extraordinary speed, Miao Yi soon found himself under attack from all sides.\nAs he turned round and round, Miao Yi had to defend himself with his spear constantly. Meanwhile, the 'black snake' continued to slither around him with blinding speed as it launched its attacks from near-untraceable angles.\nSuddenly, Miao Yi closed his eyes. Immediately, his movements were no longer influenced by the 'black snake's' misdirection, and even though his strikes were no longer as fast as they were before, his attacks became more effective. Every time the 'black snake' launched an attack, it was as though it was being drawn towards Miao Yi's spear.\nWith a single spear in his hand, Miao Yi attacked. At times, it would be a thrust with the razor-sharp spearhead, and other times, it would be a backward shove with the tail of the spear. Regardless of how deceptive the 'black snake's' attacks were, it was unable to get close to Miao Yi at all.\nYan Beihong watched in amazement as Miao Yi fought with his eyes closed. He never imagined that Miao Yi still had such a trick up his sleeve, and couldn't help praising, \"You are quite skilled indeed, Little Brother.\"\nWhen it came to the spear, Miao Yi was quite confident in his skills after all. He replied, \"It seems this Flowing Cloud Killer isn't as powerful as you said it was!\"\nYan Beihong was slightly taken aback by Miao Yi's comment. However, he quickly laughed aloud. \"Don't underestimate it, Little Brother. If I were to activate the full extent of Flowing Cloud Killer's powers, I fear you won't even be able to put up any resistance!\" Evidently, he too had a lot of confidence in the transcendent artifact that he had just obtained.\n\"Are you telling me this is still not the full extent of its attacks?\" Miao Yi couldn't help nodding in approval. \"I know Big Brother Yan is just trying to go easy on me.\"\n\"It's not just about the extent of its attacks.\" Yan Beihong laughed, \"Little Brother, open your eyes. I will have it attack you head-on. Try to block one strike if you can!\"\n\"One strike?\" Miao Yi's eyes shot open, locking on to the 'black snake' that had come to a stop before him as he said curiously, \"Let me give it a try then!\"\n\"Careful now!\" Yan Beihong cautioned.\nThe 'black snake' abruptly shot out in very much the same way as it did previously.\nAt the same time, Miao Yi struck out with his spear, his attack landing precisely on target. However, the 'black snake's' body suddenly became incredibly soft, and instead of being knocked away, it quickly wrapped itself around the Inversed-Scales Spear. Coiling around the spear with unbelievable speed, the 'black snake' quickly approached Miao Yi.\nMiao Yi was utterly shocked by the sudden change of attack. He quickly realized that he had no way of shaking the 'black snake' off. With his other hand, he hastily grabbed on to the head of the snake in a panic and tried to pull it off. However, regardless of how long one's hand was, there was no way it could outmatch the speed at which the 'black snake' could elongate itself. Before Miao Yi could pull the 'black snake' away, it had already stretched out to wrap around his neck and even nearly cut off his breathing.\nTossing the Inversed-Scales Spear away, Miao Yi hurriedly pulled on the 'black snake' coiled around his neck. However, he soon noticed that he had no way of moving his arms at all. The 'black snake' had wrapped itself around his body with incredible speed, locking his limbs in place and subduing him completely.\nYan Beihong's eyes brightened at the sight of this. The precise reason he wanted this transcendent artifact so badly was because it could capture his targets alive.\nAs Miao Yi struggled to free himself, he collapsed to the ground, utterly immobilized. The sharp 'snake head' then slowly hovered in front of his face, as though trying to decide if it should pierce through his eyes or burrow through his ears. Eventually, it decided to slip in through Miao Yi's nostril.\nHow could he possibly survive if this thing went inside him? The instant his nostril started to expand, Miao Yi immediately broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly exclaimed, \"I admit defeat!\"\nThe 'black snake' instantly came to a halt. Miao Yi felt the bindings on his body loosen, as the 'snake' constricting his body quickly shrunk away. It transformed back into a black cloth in mid-air, then gently floated off towards Yan Beihong, who was laughing uncontrollably as the black cloth landed on his palm.\nYan Beihong teased, \"So what do you think of my transcendent artifact, Little Brother?\"\n\"It is powerful indeed!\" Miao Yi praised as he jumped back up and tucked the Inversed-Scales Spear away. There was still a lingering fear in his mind as he looked at the black cloth. If he had to face something like this, he really would be utterly helpless. This Flowing Cloud Killer was virtually invincible against everything. He couldn't think of any cultivator below the Red Lotus realm capable of overcoming this transcendent artifact. The only way to win would be to first kill the artifact wielder.\nMiao Yi couldn't help feeling exasperated as he thought about how Yao Ruoxian actually refined a transcendent artifact like this for someone else. 'It seems the old coot really does live up to his name!'\nBut after some thought, he grew puzzled, and couldn't help asking, \"Big Brother Yan, if this Flowing Cloud Killer is this powerful, why do you all still have to run from Yun Feiyang?\"\n\"When it comes to transcendent artifacts, it is very normal to have both complementing and opposing archetypes. I don't know what kind of transcendent artifact it is exactly, but that bastard possesses a bag that is capable of sucking away other transcendent artifacts. If Song Zeming hadn't been lucky enough to find a tiny crack in the ground at the time and allowed the Flowing Cloud Killer to slither off, I'm afraid it would have already fallen into Yun Feiyang's hands by now.\" Yan Beihong shook his head and sighed. It seemed like he was rather traumatized.\n'Isn't that the same as Bai Ziliang's gourd artifact then?' Miao Yi thought. Then, he asked, \"The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade will be ending in another year or so. Big Brother Yan, what are your plans now?\"\n\"Out of all those remaining in the Subjugation Crusade, only a small margin of them have survived out of pure luck. The others are likely a force to be reckoned with in their own right. Even though we now possess several powerful transcendent artifacts, it is still better to take heed as much as possible.\" Yan Beihong said gravely, \"Little Brother, if you ask me, I think it's better for us to continue searching for places to hide and avoid confrontation for as long as we can. We should only fight if there is absolutely no other choice. What say you?\"\n\"I was thinking the same thing!\" Miao Yi nodded. He looked around, then asked, \"Should we continue hiding on this island then? Will that Yun Feiyang somehow find us?\"\n\"I also have no idea how Yun Feiyang always manages to locate us. However, I'm sure it had something to do with the ten of us. Now that Song Zeming and the others are dead, let's hope we'll be able to throw off Yun Feiyang's pursuit. Even though I've already burned their bodies, they did stay on this island for a while after all. Just to be safe, I think it's better for us to find a new hiding spot.\"\nMiao Yi had no objections.

第四零七章
铺开在空的黑纱突然缩小，化作一道匹练射入了下方的林，在林快如鬼魅般东闪西闪，到处游窜，犹如一个人顶着一块纱布在林恶作剧扮鬼吓人，并没有接近山寨进攻的意思。
身披战甲、手提长枪的苗毅无语回头，看向了燕北虹，貌似在问，你在玩什么？
燕北虹一笑置之，“小心了，开始了。”
苗毅迅速回头，却发现下方林不见了那块恶作剧的黑纱，目光迅速扫视四周警戒，提枪慢慢转圈，不敢放过周边的任何动静。
不远处的草丛绿草微动，苗毅凝目一看，发现是一条蛇在草丛游过，也就没当回事，继续警惕四周。
不对！ 苗毅脑突然灵光一闪，是条黑色的蛇！
待他反应过来，草丛的那条‘黑蛇’已经窜地射出，如利箭般“嗖”地射来。
当！ 苗毅迅速一枪将其扫开。
弹射开的‘黑蛇’落地折身一弹，再次射来，速度奇快，幸好苗毅出枪的速度也不慢。
然而那条‘黑蛇’射出时坚硬如利箭，遭受攻击时又瞬间软化，逆鳞枪如击在棉絮上，无法将这轻飘飘的东西给打开远一点，导致‘黑蛇’被打飞出去后落地的距离越来越近，加上奇快的弹射速度，起起落落不断从四面八方快速攻击苗毅。
只见苗毅不断快速转身出枪，那‘黑蛇’则不断游走窜行闪烁在苗毅周围如鬼魅般发动攻击。
苗毅突然闭上了双眼，动作顿时不受‘黑蛇’的游窜所诱惑，长枪的频率没那么快了，但攻击却越发有效了。 游窜的‘黑蛇’一射来，便仿佛主动撞到了苗毅的枪上。
苗毅一杆长枪在手，不是锋利枪头突刺，便是枪尾后撞，不怕‘黑蛇’的攻击多么诡幻。 始终无法近苗毅的身。
盯着闭眼而战的苗毅，燕北虹略显惊讶，没想到苗毅还有这本事，不由啧啧赞道：“老弟果然有一套。”
对于自己这本事，苗毅也还是颇为自得的，回道：“这‘流云杀’似乎也没你说的那么厉害！” 燕北虹闻言一怔。
旋即仰天哈哈大笑道：“老弟切莫轻敌，这‘流云杀’真要施展开来，老弟怕是连还手之力都没有！” 他对自己所得的宝物显然也很有自信。
“你是指这宝物的攻击力道还没有完全施展开吗？” 这一点苗毅也不得不点头承认，“我知道燕大哥是手下留情。”
“可不仅仅是攻击力道。” 燕北虹笑道：“老弟且睁开眼睛看着，我令它正面进攻，看看老弟能不能挡住它一招！”
苗毅霍然睁眼。 盯着停在了自己前方的‘黑蛇’，好奇道：“不妨一试！”
“小心了！” 燕北虹一声喝。
‘黑蛇’陡然蹿起射来，和之前的进攻没什么两样。
苗毅一枪击去，正射来的目标，谁知‘黑蛇’身躯突然变得柔软无比，没有被打飞，反而迅速缠上逆鳞枪。 缠绕而来，直扑苗毅本体。
这情形有够吓人的，苗毅大吃一惊，发现甩都甩不脱，情急之下另一手一把抓住了扑来的蛇头，就要一把扯开，可是你胳膊再长，也比不过对方能变幻拉长，这里还没有扯开，陡然变长的‘黑蛇’已经瞬间缠住了他的脖子。 差点没把苗毅给勒断气。
扔了逆鳞枪的苗毅迅速双手扯住缠在脖子上的‘黑蛇’，可是很快发现自己的胳膊不能动了，整条‘黑蛇’已经迅速缠住了他，神速无比地将他来了个五花大绑，四肢亦被缠了个死死的。
这一幕看得燕北虹双眼发亮。 他之所以看这宝贝，就是因为能将人给活捉。
拼命挣扎的苗毅顿时硬邦邦倒地，那尖尖的‘蛇头’已经晃悠在了苗毅的面前，似乎在选择是戳瞎苗毅的眼睛好，还是钻进苗毅的耳朵里好？ 不过最终还是选择了从苗毅的鼻孔里钻进去。
被这东西钻入了体内的话，焉有命在！ 鼻孔一涨之下的苗毅惊出一头冷汗，赶紧出声道：“小弟认输了！”
那‘黑蛇’立刻停止了动静，苗毅感觉勒得紧紧的身体一松，束缚自己身体的东西已经迅速抽离，弹在空变回了黑纱，轻飘飘落在了哈哈大笑的燕北虹掌。
“老弟，我这宝物如何？” 燕北虹戏谑笑问。
“果然厉害！” 跳了起来收了逆鳞枪的苗毅回赞了声，看向那条黑纱仍然心有余悸，碰上这东西，自己的确是连一招都挡不住，发现只要对上，这‘流云杀’几乎让人无解，他想不出红莲以下的修士谁能有办法破解此宝，唯一的办法怕是只有先将持宝人给斩杀。
苗毅心那叫一个腻味，妖若仙竟然帮别人炼制出此等宝物，看来那邋遢老头果然是名不虚传！
不过想想又觉得不对，不由疑惑道：“燕大哥，这‘流云杀’如此厉害，你们怎么还会被那云飞扬给追得四处逃窜？”
宋泽明若不是运气好，恰好地下有条地缝让‘流云杀’给钻地溜了，否则此宝恐怕已经落在了云飞扬的手上。” 燕北虹摇头唏嘘，似乎心有余悸。
那岂不是和白子良的宝葫芦有异曲同工之妙？ 苗毅心嘀咕一声，问道：“星宿海戡乱会还有一年多时间结束，不知燕大哥接下来有什么打算？”
“戡乱会能活到现在的人，运气好的人只是极少数，剩下的怕是没几个好惹的，你我虽有几件法宝在手，可还需小心方为上策。” 燕北虹沉吟道：“老弟，依我之见，咱们继续找个地方躲藏，能躲得过去就躲，实在躲不过去那就只有拼命了，你意下如何？”
“正合我意！” 苗毅点了点头，看了看四周，又问道：“就躲这岛上？ 会不会又被那个云飞扬找到？”
“我也不知道云飞扬总是能找到我们是为什么，但肯定和我十人有关，如今宋泽明人已死，希望能摆脱云飞扬的追杀。
他们个的尸体虽然被烧掉了，可毕竟在这岛上呆过，为了稳妥起见，咱们还是另换一个地方为妙。”
两人拿出玉牒地图重新拟定了一个海岛做落脚点，说走就走，反正像他们这种修士什么东西都是装在储物戒里随身带，也不需要收拾什么。
到了海边，苗毅要将自己藏的木排拖出来用，毕竟还有坐骑，他如今是不会轻易再和黑炭分道扬镳了。
燕北虹摆手笑道：“有‘流云杀’这等便捷的法宝渡海，何必还用木排，正好让你见识见识。”
甩手扔出‘流云杀’，黑纱迎风扩展开来，大大张张地铺在了地上，燕北虹骑着龙驹直接践踏着跑了上去，随后跳下坐骑向苗毅招手，苗毅好奇跟上了。
两人停在铺开的黑纱间，燕北虹手掌一翻，铺开的黑纱迅速卷起，四处观望的苗毅发现两人连同坐骑被卷入了一个圆筒之。 还没反应过来怎么回事，身形不禁一晃，发现黑纱已经裹着他们冲入了海水之，经过海水折射的光线变得澜澜。
苗毅才发现这‘流云杀’果然能避水，外面的海水竟然无法从黑纱的孔里渗入，而此时的‘流云杀’正如一条海蛇般摇摆着身躯迅速游窜在海底，速度飞快，能从黑纱的孔看到海底的景致飞快后退。
苗毅不禁大为赞叹道：“果真是千变万化的好宝贝！” 心里却在咒妖若仙祖宗十八代，给自己炼制的是个什么破玩意。
虽然他心里明白是因为拿不出炼制的材料，可还是忍不住咒骂，心里不平衡。
燕北虹颇为得意地哈哈大笑，“若非如此，焉能屡屡从那云飞扬的手逃脱。”
半天之后，原本需要十几天才能到达的目的地，只用了半天的时间，两人便从海冲出，落在了沙滩上，双双警惕着四周，联袂巡查这座海岛。
确认没什么异常后，两人方正式选了一个隐蔽之地，开出了两座洞穴藏身。
接下来的曰子里，两人虽然近在咫尺，却几乎很少照面。
一个想着炼化融合自己吸收来的修为；另一个则因为修炼速度已经达到了每天能炼化三颗愿力珠的地步，在愿力珠充足的情况下，不愿错过修为每天都在快速增长的机会。
不过两人每天碰一面还是免不了，两人不可能放下一切不管不顾地在这里修炼，除非不要命了还差不多，轮流望风是免不了的。
然而在这凶险之地，想获得永远的安宁简直是奢求。 两个月后，苗毅正在洞内静心修炼，轮流望风的燕北虹突然闪了进来，疾声道：“快走！ 云飞扬的人找到这岛上来了。”
苗毅大惊，迅速蹿起，两人闪出洞窟，翻身上了坐骑，直接向来敌登陆的相反方向快速逃窜。
然而还没跑到海边，前方山坳突然蹦出两骑拦住去路。
其一人骑着龙驹。 另一个双手叉腰仰天冷笑之人的坐骑则看着有些吓人，是一头体型健硕浑身黝黑的公牛，此牛头生狰狞开叉的六角，不见双眼，只有额头部分长着一只拳头般大的独眼，满嘴锋利锯齿，浑身有缭绕不散的淡淡黑雾。

Chapter 407: Doomed
Suddenly, the black cloth enveloping the sky started to shrink, transforming into a whip which quickly shot down into the forest below. Like a phantom, it quickly faded in and out of the trees. However, there was no sign of it approaching the fort at all. Rather, it looked as though someone was just running across the forest with a sheet over their bodies as a prank.
With a full body of armor and his spear at the ready, Miao Yi turned back to look at Yan Beihong in confusion, as though asking, 'What are you playing at?'
Yan Beihong laughed. "Careful. It's starting."
Miao Yi quickly turned his head back. To his surprise, there was no longer any sign of the black cloth among the trees below. His eyes then quickly darted from side to side as he raised his spear and slowly turned; he didn't dare to miss out on the slightest signs of movement around him.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the grass nearby. Miao Yi instantly shot a glance over but noticed it was just a snake slithering across the grass. He paid it no heed and continued to survey his surroundings.
'No, wait! That's a black snake!' The thought suddenly flashed through Miao Yi's mind.
By the time he reacted, the 'black snake' in the grass was already shooting towards him like an arrow.
Clang! Miao Yi quickly knocked it away with his spear.
As soon as it touched the ground, the 'black snake' shot back out. Its speed was incredibly fast. Fortunately, Miao Yi's spear didn't exactly lag behind either.
However, even though this 'black snake' was as tough as a steel arrow when it attacked, the instant the Inversed-Scales Spear struck it, it became as soft as cotton. As such, Miao Yi was unable to push such a flimsy transcendent artifact any considerable distance away, and although it was being knocked away each time, the 'black snake' was gradually pulling closer to Miao Yi. What's more, given its extraordinary speed, Miao Yi soon found himself under attack from all sides.
As he turned round and round, Miao Yi had to defend himself with his spear constantly. Meanwhile, the 'black snake' continued to slither around him with blinding speed as it launched its attacks from near-untraceable angles.
Suddenly, Miao Yi closed his eyes. Immediately, his movements were no longer influenced by the 'black snake's' misdirection, and even though his strikes were no longer as fast as they were before, his attacks became more effective. Every time the 'black snake' launched an attack, it was as though it was being drawn towards Miao Yi's spear.
With a single spear in his hand, Miao Yi attacked. At times, it would be a thrust with the razor-sharp spearhead, and other times, it would be a backward shove with the tail of the spear. Regardless of how deceptive the 'black snake's' attacks were, it was unable to get close to Miao Yi at all.
Yan Beihong watched in amazement as Miao Yi fought with his eyes closed. He never imagined that Miao Yi still had such a trick up his sleeve, and couldn't help praising, "You are quite skilled indeed, Little Brother."
When it came to the spear, Miao Yi was quite confident in his skills after all. He replied, "It seems this Flowing Cloud Killer isn't as powerful as you said it was!"
Yan Beihong was slightly taken aback by Miao Yi's comment. However, he quickly laughed aloud. "Don't underestimate it, Little Brother. If I were to activate the full extent of Flowing Cloud Killer's powers, I fear you won't even be able to put up any resistance!" Evidently, he too had a lot of confidence in the transcendent artifact that he had just obtained.
"Are you telling me this is still not the full extent of its attacks?" Miao Yi couldn't help nodding in approval. "I know Big Brother Yan is just trying to go easy on me."
"It's not just about the extent of its attacks." Yan Beihong laughed, "Little Brother, open your eyes. I will have it attack you head-on. Try to block one strike if you can!"
"One strike?" Miao Yi's eyes shot open, locking on to the 'black snake' that had come to a stop before him as he said curiously, "Let me give it a try then!"
"Careful now!" Yan Beihong cautioned.
The 'black snake' abruptly shot out in very much the same way as it did previously.
At the same time, Miao Yi struck out with his spear, his attack landing precisely on target. However, the 'black snake's' body suddenly became incredibly soft, and instead of being knocked away, it quickly wrapped itself around the Inversed-Scales Spear. Coiling around the spear with unbelievable speed, the 'black snake' quickly approached Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was utterly shocked by the sudden change of attack. He quickly realized that he had no way of shaking the 'black snake' off. With his other hand, he hastily grabbed on to the head of the snake in a panic and tried to pull it off. However, regardless of how long one's hand was, there was no way it could outmatch the speed at which the 'black snake' could elongate itself. Before Miao Yi could pull the 'black snake' away, it had already stretched out to wrap around his neck and even nearly cut off his breathing.
Tossing the Inversed-Scales Spear away, Miao Yi hurriedly pulled on the 'black snake' coiled around his neck. However, he soon noticed that he had no way of moving his arms at all. The 'black snake' had wrapped itself around his body with incredible speed, locking his limbs in place and subduing him completely.
Yan Beihong's eyes brightened at the sight of this. The precise reason he wanted this transcendent artifact so badly was because it could capture his targets alive.
As Miao Yi struggled to free himself, he collapsed to the ground, utterly immobilized. The sharp 'snake head' then slowly hovered in front of his face, as though trying to decide if it should pierce through his eyes or burrow through his ears. Eventually, it decided to slip in through Miao Yi's nostril.
How could he possibly survive if this thing went inside him? The instant his nostril started to expand, Miao Yi immediately broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly exclaimed, "I admit defeat!"
The 'black snake' instantly came to a halt. Miao Yi felt the bindings on his body loosen, as the 'snake' constricting his body quickly shrunk away. It transformed back into a black cloth in mid-air, then gently floated off towards Yan Beihong, who was laughing uncontrollably as the black cloth landed on his palm.
Yan Beihong teased, "So what do you think of my transcendent artifact, Little Brother?"
"It is powerful indeed!" Miao Yi praised as he jumped back up and tucked the Inversed-Scales Spear away. There was still a lingering fear in his mind as he looked at the black cloth. If he had to face something like this, he really would be utterly helpless. This Flowing Cloud Killer was virtually invincible against everything. He couldn't think of any cultivator below the Red Lotus realm capable of overcoming this transcendent artifact. The only way to win would be to first kill the artifact wielder.
Miao Yi couldn't help feeling exasperated as he thought about how Yao Ruoxian actually refined a transcendent artifact like this for someone else. 'It seems the old coot really does live up to his name!'
But after some thought, he grew puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Big Brother Yan, if this Flowing Cloud Killer is this powerful, why do you all still have to run from Yun Feiyang?"
"When it comes to transcendent artifacts, it is very normal to have both complementing and opposing archetypes. I don't know what kind of transcendent artifact it is exactly, but that bastard possesses a bag that is capable of sucking away other transcendent artifacts. If Song Zeming hadn't been lucky enough to find a tiny crack in the ground at the time and allowed the Flowing Cloud Killer to slither off, I'm afraid it would have already fallen into Yun Feiyang's hands by now." Yan Beihong shook his head and sighed. It seemed like he was rather traumatized.
'Isn't that the same as Bai Ziliang's gourd artifact then?' Miao Yi thought. Then, he asked, "The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade will be ending in another year or so. Big Brother Yan, what are your plans now?"
"Out of all those remaining in the Subjugation Crusade, only a small margin of them have survived out of pure luck. The others are likely a force to be reckoned with in their own right. Even though we now possess several powerful transcendent artifacts, it is still better to take heed as much as possible." Yan Beihong said gravely, "Little Brother, if you ask me, I think it's better for us to continue searching for places to hide and avoid confrontation for as long as we can. We should only fight if there is absolutely no other choice. What say you?"
"I was thinking the same thing!" Miao Yi nodded. He looked around, then asked, "Should we continue hiding on this island then? Will that Yun Feiyang somehow find us?"
"I also have no idea how Yun Feiyang always manages to locate us. However, I'm sure it had something to do with the ten of us. Now that Song Zeming and the others are dead, let's hope we'll be able to throw off Yun Feiyang's pursuit. Even though I've already burned their bodies, they did stay on this island for a while after all. Just to be safe, I think it's better for us to find a new hiding spot."
Miao Yi had no objections. It was always better to be safe than sorry after all.
The duo then took out their maps and set their sights on a new island to hide in. Once they did, they immediately departed. Cultivators like them would always have their belongings in their storage rings after all; there was no need to pack anything up.
Once they reached the shore, Miao Yi proceeded to take out the raft he had hidden away, since he still had to account for Charcoal. He would not separate from Charcoal so easily ever again.
Waving his hand, Yan Beihong laughed, "Now that we have the highly convenient transcendent artifact that is the Flowing Cloud Killer, why do we still need to use wooden rafts? Let me show you what it can do."
Yan Beihong tossed out the Flowing Cloud Killer. Drifting in the wind, the black cloth gradually expanded as it gently landed on the ground. Yan Beihong then rode his mount onto the Flowing Cloud Killer. As he dismounted, he beckoned to Miao Yi, who immediately followed suit out of curiosity.
The two of them were standing in the middle of the open, black cloth. Then, as Yan Beihong waved his hand, the black cloth quickly closed itself up. As he looked around, Miao Yi noticed how they and their dragon steeds had all been wrapped inside a dark cylindrical space. However, before he could even react, he suddenly felt his body shake. The black cloth they were in had already dove into the ocean, and the light around them was wavy from being refracted by the water around them.
Miao Yi quickly realized that the Flowing Cloud Killer was truly impermeable to water. The seawater around it had no way of penetrating the fibers of the black cloth. Like a sea snake, the Flowing Cloud Killer slithered upon the ocean depths. Its speed was extraordinary. Miao Yi could see the scenery on the ocean floor quickly moving past him through the fibers of the black cloth.
Miao Yi couldn't help giving praise, "This is a really versatile transcendent artifact!" However, deep down, he was cursing Yao Ruoxian's entire lineage, 'What kind of junk did that old coot refine for me?'
Even though he understood it was mainly because he couldn't provide the materials, he still couldn't help cursing from the sense of injustice he felt.
Evidently pleased by the compliment, Yan Beihong laughed heartily. "If it wasn't, how could we have possibly managed to escape Yun Feiyang time after time?"
Half a day later, the duo emerged from the ocean depths and reached shore. What was originally a place that needed weeks of travel to reach had only taken them half a day to reach. Casting a vigilant eye on their surroundings, Miao Yi and Yan Beihong proceeded to scout the island.
After making sure the island was safe, the duo then decided on a place to hide and dug out two caves to stay in.
In the coming days, even though the both of them lived close to each other, they barely met one another.
One was busy assimilating the cultivation he had absorbed; the other was unwilling to waste the chance of rapidly growing stronger every day now that he was able to refine three Orbs of Will a day and had sufficient resources.
However, they would still meet up once a day. After all, unless they had a death wish, they couldn't simply cast everything aside and just focus on their cultivation. They still had to take turns standing guard.
Two months later. Miao Yi was in the middle of cultivating inside his cave, when suddenly, Yan Beihong, who was on watch duty, rushed in and shouted, "Run! Yun Feiyang's men have found their way to this island."
Miao Yi was startled. He quickly jumped up, and the two of them rushed out the cave and ran straight to their mounts. As soon as they got on their dragon steeds, they immediately made for the opposite direction of the encroaching enemy forces.
But before they could even start running to shore, two riders suddenly emerged from the mountain ridge before them and blocked their path.
One of them was riding on a dragon steed, while the other person—with both hands on his waist as he laughed maniacally—rode on a rather terrifying creature—a muscular, black-skinned bull. With six sharp horns on its head, the bull didn't have eyes as most animals normally would; instead, it had one eye the size of a fist on its forehead. It also had a mouth full of sharp teeth and was constantly shrouded in a thin, black fog.

周围几名跟在南宫拙身边的修士，一脸兴奋与激动，“这是摩云手？
！ 少爷一上来便使出此等绝学，这姜家的小丫头，这回要吃大亏了！” 另一名修士道。
可话还未说完，只见姜小月一手拿着传讯玉，纤细的指头连连舞动，输入信息：“先不聊啦，有个可恶的家伙要抢我传讯玉！”
一边左手一圈，如鬼魅，如惊雷般的掌势击出，一瞬间力贯千钧：排云掌第七式，撕天排云！
只见一道撕天裂地的掌势狠狠击出，一声裂帛之响，刚刚南宫拙那饱含灵力的大手，瞬间被撕裂！
！”
“少爷？ ！”
几名南宫家弟子一阵惊慌。
南宫拙面色愈发铁青，脸面有些挂不住，双眼微眯：“无妨，刚刚本少才用了一成功力，没想到你这丫头，年纪不大，却还有些修为，难怪敢如此猖狂！”
只见南宫拙双手合于胸前，四指相并，结出一个奇特的法印，南宫拙冷声道：“这是我南宫家的雷炎剑印，今日用在这里，也算是抬举你这小丫头了。”
只见他双手印结一起，周围激雷交闪，焰光滔天，腾腾的火浪，在天空中盘旋如龙，雷火交缠，霎时间，竟在众人头顶上，化作一柄巨大的火剑，雷火之剑伴随着巨大而刺耳的雷鸣火啸之声，高悬于空，剑还未发，一股巨大如泰山般的威势，已经将下方所有人都压得无法动弹！
然后李兰若见到一只小手伸了过来：“兰若姐，帮我录一下，哼哼！”
？”
运转了一下徐长卿所用的高级蜀山派心法：“好像我也能动哦……？”
连忙把传讯玉对准战场。
“焚！” 随着南宫拙一声大喝，天空之中，火焰如同汹涌的潮水一般倾落而下。
旁边几名南宫家弟子不禁面露得色：“小丫头片子，还敢跟少爷叫板？”
就在这时，忽然间一股骇人至极的热力，朝着四面八方席卷而来。
只见姜小月所在之处，忽然腾起一片惊天的火焰气柱。
几名南宫家弟子面色微惊：“龙炎？ ！”
这片火焰气柱如同爆炸一般迅速朝周围扩散开来，与此同时，只听一声娇喝：“阿里弄king那！”
一道娇小的人影浑身遍布着橙炙的火焰光芒，迅猛至极的在身后拖曳出成片的重影，南宫拙只见到一道拳影，带着无数重重叠叠的拳影轰至！
速度快得叫人难以想象。
几乎同一时间，他那身极为华贵的衣袍上忽然亮起一阵蒙蒙清光。
随即姜小月的拳头砸在清光之上。
南宫拙错愕中又带着些许傲色：“就算你打破我的雷火剑印又如何呢？ 破得掉我的千衍道衣么？
话还未说完，脸色忽然大变。
只见姜小月身后拖曳着的重重拳影在此时尽数归一。
那拳影仿佛不是虚影，而是实体一般，敲得南宫拙那华贵道衣，咚咚有若擂鼓之声。
而这还不算完，只见双手一扬，数道虚影跟着扬出一片炸裂的火光。
似一阵炒豆子般的爆响中，只见南宫拙衣袍鼓荡，忽然胸前的青光崩裂，紧接着裂开一道巨大的豁口！
无数火焰汹涌而入。
猝不及防的南宫拙当场被打得倒飞出去。
姜小月落地，拍了拍手，向一旁已经看呆了的李兰若得意地道：“兰若姐，刚刚我帅不帅？
姜小月如数家珍地道，“要不是本公主没练到家，就这种破衣服，来一千件都给它打穿了！”
“少爷，你没事吧？ ！”
只见南宫拙“哇”地吐出一口鲜血，面色狰狞，眼中已经只剩下滔天恨意。
“你找死！” 他嘴一张，一道黑气自他口中飞出。
只见是一柄黑光莹莹的奇形小剑。
这剑一出，只见晴空之上陡现一道惊天霹雳。
周围的南宫家子弟都无比惊恐地看着这柄漆黑如墨的奇形小剑。
那柄小剑上，仿佛有一股极为诡异的魔力，能将人的魂魄吸去。
几名南宫家之人，在看过那柄小剑一眼之后，便仿佛失去了自主能力一般，瞳孔大张，目光愈发地呆滞无神。
仿佛有无数恶鬼妖魔的声音在耳边呢喃，那疯狂的呓语，仿佛能引动人心底深处最为狂躁的魔念。
周围的天地愈发地阴沉黑暗，仿佛要所有生人拖入一片黑暗的深渊中去。
“不好了师姐。” 只见那名青衣少女惊呼道，“南宫拙动用那柄剑了！”
南宫拙的天赋、悟性，或许不算是所有天才中最好的，但他却有一柄与其伴生的，威力强绝无匹的灵剑。
此剑一出，无物可当！ 当初他便是凭借此剑，仅十九岁之龄，便于天渊海斩杀三头妖蛟，震惊当世。
“滚开！” 那名白衣道袍的女子凤眸冰冷。
她的身前，还阻拦着数十名修为极为精深的精锐修士。
为首那人傲然道，“少爷交代过了，此地，不允许任何人通过。”
而另一边，只见南宫拙附近的所有人，呆滞的目光中，显露出一片诡异的红芒，以一种完全非人的迅猛之势，疯狂朝着姜小月扑来。
如果一定要形容的话，似乎有些像是之前与方启交手的——剑奴。
好像完全没事。
南宫拙脸一抽。
不过现在的效果他也已经很满意了，冷笑道：“我看你怎么应付！”
这些修士本身修为就不低，现在仿佛发了疯，出手却反倒更加凌厉狠辣了，修为更像吃了大补丸一般，比先前高了不少。
只见姜小月手中取出一沓符篆，往天空一抛。
符篆阵列，姜小月身前，竟忽然多出来一头浑身冒火，犹若麒麟的异兽来。
这异兽猛吸一口气，迎风便涨，竟当场涨到了两层楼高，化作一头头生双角，人立起来的巨大怪兽。
两名南宫家弟子发疯一般扑来。
只见怪兽两爪子挥出。
轰隆！
仿佛被火车撞中一般，两人当场倒飞出去。
紧接着又有更多的南宫家弟子，疯了一般扑过来，招式凌厉阴狠，仿佛完全不顾忌自己性命。
就连这头异兽，浑身上下一瞬间都被撕开好几道创口。
只见姜小月优哉游哉地加了个防，打了个魔，神兽头顶上一串清光腾起，治愈术！
刚刚受的伤正在以肉眼可见的速度愈合。
？”
这什么鬼东西？

“Excellent!” The cultivators standing beside Nangong Zhuo was full of excitement and thrill. “This is the Moyun Hand?!”
“The Moyun Hand that can handle anything in the world?! Young Master used this ultimate technique as his first attack; I’m sure that that little girl of the Jiang Family will receive a hard blow!” another cultivator said.

Meanwhile, her left hand moved in a circle and pushed out like a thunderbolt and a fast ghost, striking with a tremendous force – Tearing Sky and Expelling Clouds, the seventh move of the Cloud Expelling Palm.
An energy hand that could tear open the sky crashed out with vicious force. With a tearing noise, Nangong Zhuo’s energy hand full of spiritual essence was instantly torn open! ( .c om )
“What?!”
“Young Master?!”
The disciples of the Nangong Family looked anxious and alarmed.
Nangong Zhuo’s face turned even more livid with humiliation, and he said with narrowed eyes, “It’s okay. I just used one-tenth of my strength in that attack. I’m surprised that a little girl like you has such a high cultivation strength. No wonder you act so arrogantly!”

Flames surged up in the area and soared into the sky like a dragon before spinning around. instantly, it transformed into a huge sword of flames above the people’s heads, hovering in the sky and not attacking while creating huge and ear-piercing noises of thunder, freezing all the people under it with a mountain-like pressure!
Li Lanruo saw a small hand reaching toward her. “Sister Lanruo, record the battle for me. Humph!”
Li Lanruo: “!!??”
She circulated Xu Changqing’s advanced mental technique of the Shu Mountain Faction and murmured, “It seems like I can move, huh…?”
Immediately, she turned the communication jade toward the battlefield.
“Burn!” At Nangong Zhuo’s yell, flames poured down from the sky like surging waves of the ocean.
They swallowed Jiang Xiaoyue almost instantly! The disciples of the Nangong Family looked smug. “Little girl, do you still dare to challenge Young Master?”
At this moment, they felt a horrifying heat wave spreading out in all directions.
A terrifying flame pillar suddenly shot up from the spot where Jiang Xiaoyue stood.
The disciples of the Nangong Family looked surprised. “Dragon Flames?”
The flame pillar spread out swiftly like an explosion; it was the desperation move of Kyo Kusanagi – Mu Shiki!
Surrounded by burning orange flames, a tiny figure dragged out a blurry wave of shadows at a great speed. Nangong Zhuo only saw a fist shadow crash toward him with many fist shadows behind it!
The fist moved so fast that it was beyond his imagination.
Almost instantly, a layer of vague lights suddenly shot out of his luxurious robe.
Then, Jiang Xiaoyue’s fist crashed onto the clear light.
Nangong Zhuo looked surprised yet still arrogant. “Even though you broke my Thunder-Flame Sword Seal, can you break my Qianyan Daoist Robe? You are only a teenager, and the gap of cultivation strength between us is too big for you to close…”
Before he could finish, his expression changed drastically.
The many fist shadows behind Jiang Xiaoyue combined into one. The fist shadow looked solid and no longer vague.
Bam! Bam! Bam! It hammered onto Nangong Zhuo’s luxurious Daoist robe as if it was beating on a drum.
Then, Jiang Xiaoyue leaped up, and the flames in her hands rose like dancing dragons.
With a series of explosion noises, Nangong Zhuo’s robe bulged, and the clear light in front of his chest shattered. A big crack appeared in the layer of clear light.
Many dashes of flames surged into the crack.
Unprepared, Nangong Zhuo was sent flying backward.
Jiang Xiaoyue landed on the ground and dusted off her hands. She smugly said to the dazed Li Lanruo beside her, “Sister Lanruo, did I look dashing?”
“This technique is called Desperation Move, Mu Shiki,” Jiang Xiaoyue told her everything in detail, “If I was more experienced in using this technique, I could have pierced 1,000 of these useless robes!”
“Young Master, are you okay?!” A few disciples of the Nangong Family ran over to him in alarm.
Nangong Zhuo spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned wicked and distorted, and only endless hatred could be seen in his eyes.
“You are seeking death!” He opened his mouth, and a surge of black essence shot out.
It was a small shiny black sword that had a strange shape.
The moment the sword shot out, thunder instantly rumbled in the clear sky.
“Young Master, this is…?!” In horror, the disciples of the Nangong Family looked at the strange-shaped small sword that was as black as ink.
The small sword seemed to contain a creepy demonic energy which could absorb people’s souls.
After one glance of the small sword, the few disciples of the Nangong Family seemed to have lost their free will. Their pupils expanded, and their eyes looked dull and glassy.
They felt as if many evil devils and demons were whispering into their ears, triggering the craziest and evil thoughts in the depths of their minds.
The sky turned even gloomier and darker as if it was trying to pull all the living people into a dark abyss.
About 500 meters away, the green-clothed girl yelled in alarm, “No! Senior Sister, Nangong Zhuo is using that sword!”
Nangong Zhuo’s talent and comprehension might not be the best among the geniuses, but he had a powerful spiritual sword that was born with him. ( .c om )
When this sword was used, nothing could block it! When Nangong Zhuo was 19, he had used this sword to kill a three-headed demon dragon in the Heavenly Abyss Sea, shocking the whole world.
“Go away!” The woman wearing the white Daoist robe looked cold.
Dozens of elite cultivators with high cultivation strengths blocked her way.
“I’m sorry,” the leader of the group said arrogantly, “Young Master told us not to let anyone pass.”
On the other side, all the people around Nangong Zhuo emitted strange red lights from their glazed eyes. As if they were crazy, they lunged at Jiang Xiaoyue with speed and power that were inhumane.
If they had to be described, they looked like the sword slaves that had battled with Fang Qi.
She looked like she wasn’t affected.
Nangong Zhuo’s face twitched.
However, he was satisfied with the effect and said with a sneer, “I’ll see how you handle this!”
These cultivators looked as if they had gone mad; their attacks were even more vicious than before, and their cultivation strengths grew as if they had taken some magic potion.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoyue took out a stack of rune notes and tossed them into the sky.
While the rune notes moved into positions, a Kirin-like beast engulfed in flames appeared before Jiang Xiaoyue.
The rare beast took in a deep breath and grew as high as a two-story building, turning into a huge monster with two horns on its forehead.
Two disciples of Nangong Family lunged at it as if they were crazy.
The monster swung out its two front paws.
Boom!
Then, these two disciples flew backward as if they had been hit by a train.
Next, more disciples of the Nangong Family lunged at it with vicious techniques as if they didn’t care about their lives.
They instantly inflicted several wounds on this monster.
Casually, Jiang Xiaoyue increased their defenses and cast a spell, and a wave of clear light surged up above the monster’s head. It was the Healing Spell!
The wounds on the monster’s body quickly healed before their eyes.
Nangong Zhuo: “!!??”
What the heck is this?!

"value": "Chapter 700 - The Dragons Have No Leader\nUnlike the last visit to Xuan Mo at the vortex of the galaxy, this time, Wang Lu was ready for the fight.\nThe last time they met, Wang Lu and Xuan Mo had a very happy conversation. That was because each of them grasped the sense of the conversation and didn’t go out of the line, so the atmosphere was harmonious. At the same time, Wang Lu’s departure was not informed to anyone beforehand, therefore even the Earth Immortal side was also caught off guard.\nHowever, in the aftermath of Deity Stage Group Fight, the Earth Immortals lost two people and 1500 points. As one of the contestants, Xuan Mo’s conversation with Wang Lu was really impossible to explain.\nAccording to the logical way of thinking, the Earth Immortal camp would never allow Wang Lu to talk to Xuan Mo in such a big way.\nHowever, Wang Lu had too many problems that needed to be confirmed by Xuan Mo, so the second meeting was imperative. And Wang Wu, as the bodyguard, was also dutybound to accompany him.\nWang Lu also didn’t think that this was her limit. He had full confidence in Wang Wu, so he brought this cheap-but-excellent bodyguard and directly went to the Heavenly Earth of the Tomb of the Immortals.\nHowever, to his surprise, the journey was safe, and no one came forward to stop them, nor did he step on any sinister trap. Along the way, they were unimpeded in seeing the master of the Heavenly Earth Xuan Mo, still as before in that elegant palace. This female Earth Immortal sat quietly in the palace hall, somewhat entranced.\nSeeing the two of them, Xuan Mo nodded, showed a far-fetched smile, and then ignored them. Wang Lu thought it was strange. Since her recovery from her schizophrenic state, Xuan Mo had always been knowledgeable and reasonable. But now, since there were guests coming to her place, how could she not even offered a few cups of tea?\nIt was not until Wang Lu sat down in front of her, ready to ask questions that Xuan Mo, seemingly woken up from a dream, said in a surprise, “Ah, you guys are here?”\nWang Lu angrily said, “Your condescending divine ability has reached the realm of fairyland.”\nXuan Mo smiled apologetically. “I was somewhat distracted.” Then she got up to prepare to serve tea for the guests. However, her posture was shaky, her gait was unsteady, her cheek slowly flushed, her forehead was filled with clear beads of sweat, and her vision was blurry.\nUpon seeing it, Wang Lu was shocked and he immediately asked Wang Wu, “I want to ask the advice of a professional, do you think she’s enjoying a certain taboo pleasure?”\nWang Wu fell into deep thought. “Unexpectedly, the ancient Earth Immortals could be so bold, they do adultery out in the open in plain daylight like it’s normal. I think you should take this opportunity to have a deep exchange with her, which will help to promote the cooperation between our two sides.”\n“I think this precious opportunity should be left to the professional. Your Telepathic Finger would definitely make her enjoy a different kind of pleasure.”\n“When you withdraw money from the public account and say that you want to develop a secret weapon, is this what you refer to?”\nThe two were whispering in secret, but suddenly saw Xuan Mo staggered and, as if she couldn’t suppress, belched. In an instant, the entire hall reeked with alcohol.\nWang Lu was dumbfounded, “Was that just because of drunk?”\nWith that, his eyes turned toward the futon where Xuan Mo previously sat. What he saw was abstruse texture in which contained a calming mind array. Clearly, Xuan Mo was using the help of the futon to try to sober up… This showed the unknown amount of wine that she consumed such that she could not even suppress the effect of alcohol by herself and had to rely on the aid of external thing.\nHowever, now, in order to get up and welcome the guests, Xuan Mo had to leave the futon. Suddenly the alcohol rushed up which turned her mind into chaos and her figure became even more absent-minded and uncertain. However, her face showed a lazy smile. “Ah, how did my home turn around?”\nWhile talking, Xuan Mo swayed her waist, stretched out her sleeves and then began to rotate. She lightly danced while humming a lively folk song. It was just that, how could the dance of an Earth Immortal be ordinary? As soon as she lifted her hand, the hall was immediately filled with turbulent wind. The Yin and Yang elements were twisted with both of her hands to form a hurricane. The rustic furniture and utensils in the hall were whirled and torn to pieces. Even the impregnable hall itself was slightly trembling.\nThe Earth Immortal cultivator had already reached the peak of immortal path, so there was already great power just by lifting their hands and feet. The hurricane in the hall was enough to blow away the primordial spirit of a Yuanying Stage cultivator in an instant. In the presence of two Jindan Stage cultivators, it might be suspected of murder intention.\nFortunately, the current Jindan was not ordinary Jindan. Wang Wu immediately lifted up her hand and created a golden shield to protect the two of them, while ignoring everything else. A moment later, the hurricane disappeared and Xuan Mo had also sobered up a bit. When she saw the mess in the hall, she shook her head and grinned bitterly. “It’s really ugly.”\nWang Lu nodded and said, “It is indeed.”\nXuan Mo was shocked. “How come you’re here?”\n“…”\nA moment later, Xuan Mo apologized and said, “I was just really confused… forgive me.”\n“It’s okay. Moreover, looking at your performance, I have also determined a lot of conjectures, which is of great significance.\nThe fact that Xuan Mo was heavily drunk was of great significance in itself. In theory, she was not an indulgent cultivator, her manners, words, and deeds were all according to propriety. Even such a person drink wine, she would only taste it and rarely get drunk. Unless there was a special circumstance.\nFor example, the Deity Stage level group fight not long ago.\nWang Lu went straight to the point, “Do you guys have internal dispute?”\nXuan Mo smiled bitterly. “Yes.”\nInternal dispute should not have been said to outsiders at will, but after that awful group fight, people who use their heads could immediately guess about this internal strife. It was basically could not be concealed at all, and thus, Xuan Mo would not hide it.\nWang Lu said with a smile, “The few of you were pushed aside right?”\nThe several people who participated in the Deity Stage level group fight actually had one thing in common if one were to think about it: They were all the losers in the Grand Competition.\nIn the opening battle, Xuan Mo lost to He Tu, then Calculation Immortal was defeated by Supreme Tian Lun, and although Flesh and Blood Massacre was better than Zhu Shiyao, it was defeated by Zhou Ming in Yuanying Stage level fight. Not to mention the Illusionary Child who was beaten around in circle by Wang Wu. As for Bai Ze… even the position as the deputy leader was already lost; among the Earth Immortals, he was already a disgrace.\nThese people were not weak, but their experience was really unbearable, and thus it was extremely gloomy to put these five people into a team.\n“Being pushed aside is one thing, but squeezing out people’s live is too much—don’t look at me, we don’t want to kill anybody here. Who would’ve expected that your people would be so incapable of holding back from fighting each other, the Grand Earth Immortals die as quickly as rabbits. As the person involved, could you even say that there’s no one from your side that started it? I thought you guys are brothers and sisters who share life and death together, how could, within six months of Grand Competition, you guys quickly turn into enemies with each other?”\nXuan Mo stared at Wang Lu in dismay. She was silent for a long time and could not speak. Obviously, she was not willing to say more.\nWang Lu also had the patience for it. While Xuan Mo kept her silence, he moved back and forth in the hall, searching for an inheritance from the Earth Immortal from the ruins caused by the drunken hurricane—he did find several methods that Xuan Mo read every day. The product of Earth Immortal was naturally of fine quality, so Wang Lu looked at it with gusto. While he was at it, he also copied several so that he could bring them back with the intent to sell.\nWang Wu was more direct, whenever she saw something valuable in the ruins, she unceremoniously grabbed it and put it into her mustard seed bag.\nXuan Mo was stunned for a while. Seeing these two, who were professionals in acting as host while being the guest, she shook her head helplessly. “The situation is very bad.”\nWang Lu immediately stopped writing and asked, “Specifically? What is the root of the internal strive?” After a pause, he added, “In the final analysis, we are not enemies. In the face of the threat from the Fallen Immortals, we should cooperate more than compete. We certainly hope to win the Grand Competition, but we don’t want to win but lose the teammates that we ought to unite with.”\nWhen Xuan Mo heard that, she sighed and put down her reservation. She then opened her mouth and said, “The dragons have no leader.”\n“The dragons have no leader? Even so, it shouldn’t develop into the situation of killing one another right?”\nXuan Mo said, “I also didn’t expect things to be so serious… But in fact, when the team was first formed, in order to join forces, the composition of the Earth Immortals was somewhat complicated. As you can see, even the Demon Race was included, even the Massacre Devil. However, when the boss was still alive, these problems didn’t show up. In order to show the sincerity of the union, even Bai Ze took the initiative to abandon his human form—he was the only Earth Immortal who was degenerated into devil without being infected with much evil.”\nWang Lu was slightly surprised. “Unexpectedly, he actually has some good points.”\n“When he was the deputy leader, Bai Ze has always been competent. It was when the boss left that he became at a loss. The rest of us are the same. When the boss left, most of his loyal and reliable partners went with him. The remaining of us, are indeed like scattered sand. If there’s no one who restrains it, the contradictions would inevitably accumulate. Thus, in the beginning, we built the Tombs of Immortals in accordance with our wish, placing our hope on the people who came after us… Now I think that it’s really a mistake for us to wake up.”\nHearing this, Wang Lu roughly understood the problems of the Earth Immortals.\nAs Xuan Mo said, in the absence of a strong leader, infighting within the organization is almost inevitable. Without this Grand Competition, they would’ve probably already begun killing each other. How could those who cultivated overwhelming righteousness coexist in harmony with the Massacre Devils?\nThe devils live on killing, and they killed people for no reason. Should the righteous cultivators stop them when they saw it? Would there be enmity after that obstruction? Would they want to retaliate after having enmity? In the absence of a strong personality to mediate and resolve the contradictions, this team was certainly unstable.\nAt this time, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals’ Grand Competition gave them a chance to unite… In the early stage of the competition, the Earth Immortals’ momentum had somewhat suppressed the outbreak of the contradictions.\nUntil Wang Lu began to lead the counterattack and turned the situation around and the contradictions broke again.\nThe result of this outbreak was exactly that Deity Stage Group Fight."

第700章
与上一次前往星河漩涡处拜访玄墨有所不同，这一次，王陆是做好了开战的准备的。
上一次见面，王陆和玄墨两方相谈甚欢，那是因为彼此都把握着谈话的分寸，并没有越界，所以气氛和谐。 同时王陆去的突然，在那之前没有通知任何人，所以地仙一方也是措手不及。
但不久后的一场化神大战，地仙折损两人，惨败一千五百分。 而玄墨作为上场选手，和王陆的那番谈话实在是没法解释。
按照正常的思路，此时地仙阵营绝不可能再允许王陆再那么大模大样地与玄墨对话。
但王陆又有太多的问题必须到玄墨那边得到证实，所以第二次会面势在必行。 而王舞这个保镖也当得责无旁贷。
王陆同样不认为这是她的极限，他对王舞信心十足，所以带上物美价廉的保镖，便直接兵发群仙墓天上人间。
然而令他惊讶的是，一路平安无事，既没有人出面阻拦，更没有踩到什么阴毒陷阱。 两人一路畅通地见到了天上人间的主人地仙玄墨，依然是那间雅致的殿堂，地仙女子静坐在殿中，微微出神。
见到王陆两人后，玄墨点点头，露出一个牵强的笑容，便不予理会。 王陆心道新奇，自精神分裂症痊愈以后，玄墨一向是知书达理，如今贵客临门，她怎么连茶水都不端几杯上来？
直到王陆在她面前摆开蒲团坐定，准备要开口问话了，玄墨才如梦方醒，讶然道：“你们来了？”
王陆服气地说道：“你这目中无人神功已臻仙境了。”
玄墨歉然一笑：“有些走神。” 然后起身准备为客人奉茶，但身姿却摇摇晃晃，步履蹒跚，脸颊缓缓浮起一丝酡红，额上沁出晶莹的汗珠，目光迷离。
王陆见了以后简直大惊失色，连忙问王舞道：“咨询一下专业人士意见，你看她这模样，像不像是在享受某种禁忌的快感？”
王舞也是深以为然：“想不到上古地仙如此豪爽，白昼宣淫视若等闲，我看你不如把握机会和她深入交流一番，有助于促进咱们两方的合作。”
“我看这种珍贵的机会还是留给专业人士，你的灵犀一指一定能让她享受到别样的快感。”
“你从公共账户支取费用说要开放秘密武器，就是开发这玩意儿？”
两人正细声密语，忽然见玄墨脚步一个踉跄，身上如同压制不住一般，腾地升起一股云雾，顷刻间，广阔大殿内酒香四溢。
王陆目瞪口呆：“刚刚那是喝高了？”
说着，目光又转向玄墨方才端坐的蒲团，只见蒲团上纹理玄奥，在精致的装饰之中，隐含着冰心镇定的阵法，这才明白玄墨刚才坐在蒲团上是在清神醒酒……也不知她是喝了多少仙酿，以地仙修为竟无法凭自身压制酒意，还要依靠外物的辅助。
但是现在玄墨为了起身迎客，离开蒲团，顿时酒意上涌，神智一片混沌，身形更是恍惚不定，面上却露出慵懒的笑容：“哎呀，怎么我家转起来了？”
只是地仙的舞蹈岂是等闲？ 素手一掀，大殿内便风起云涌，阴阳二气被双手卷动形成飓风，殿内一应古朴的家具器被疾风卷动，旋转着被撕裂成碎片。 就连这固若金汤的殿堂本身也在微微颤抖。
地仙修士已臻仙道巅峰之境，举手抬足间皆有莫大威能，这殿内飓风足以在顷刻间吹散一个元婴修士的元神，当着两位金丹修士的面用出来，简直有谋杀嫌疑。
好在金丹不是一般的金丹，王舞一抬手便撑起一道金光灿灿的护罩，将两人护在其中，任凭外界风吹雨打岿然不动。 片刻后飓风消散，玄墨也散去了几分酒意，见到殿中狼藉，摇头苦笑：“真是难看啊。”
王陆点头应和：“的确难看。”
玄墨大吃一惊：“你怎么在这里？
！”
片刻后，玄墨万分抱歉地说道：“我刚刚实在是糊涂了……见谅。”
“没事儿，而且看你的表现，我也确定了不少猜想，意义重大。”
理论上她并不是那种纵情恣意的修士，言行举止皆有法度。 这种人就算饮酒也会浅尝辄止，很少会酩酊大醉。 除非遇到特别的情况。
例如不久前的那场化神级团战。
王陆开门见山：“你们是不是内讧了？”
玄墨苦笑：“是的。”
团队内讧，本不该随意说与外人知道，但那场糟糕的团战之后，内讧这种事有心人一猜就能知道，根本瞒不住人，所以玄墨也就不去隐瞒。
王陆笑道：“你们几个是被人排挤了吧？”
参与化神团战的几人，细想下来其实有个共同点：他们都是群仙大比中的失败者。
玄墨在揭幕战中放水输给了河图，算仙被天轮真君击败，血肉屠虽然险胜过朱诗瑶，却在元婴级战斗中被周明一剑击溃，千幻童子更不必说，被王舞耍得团团转，至于白泽……连阵营副手的职务都丢了，俨然已是地仙之耻。
这些人实力不弱，但履历着实不堪，将这五个人凑成一个团队，简直晦气冲天。
“不过，排挤归排挤，把人命都挤出来未免过分了点——别看我啊，我们这边也没想杀人的，谁料到你们的人那么不禁打，堂堂地仙死得比兔子还快。 你是当事人，要说这中间没有你们自己人下手，可能吗？
玄墨怔怔地看着王陆，沉默了很久说不出话，显然不愿多说。
王陆也有耐心，玄墨不说话，他就在殿内乱晃，从方才因醉酒飓风造成的废墟中翻找地仙遗产——还真找到了几本玄墨日常翻阅的功法典籍。 地仙出品自然是精品，王陆看得津津有味，顺便还抄录了几份打算回去转手贩卖。
王舞就更直接一些，在废墟中见到有什么值钱的东西就直接收入芥子袋，毫不客气。
玄墨愣了半晌，见这两人真是反客为主的好手，无奈地摇摇头：“情况很糟糕。”
内讧的根源何在？” 顿了顿，又说，“归根结底，咱们两方并不是敌人，在堕仙的威胁面前，我们合作应当多于竞争。 我们当然希望能赢，但绝不希望赢了这场比赛，却输了本应联合的队友。”
玄墨闻言心中一叹，放下了些许迟疑，开口说道：“群龙无首。”
“群龙无首？ 这个你说过，但不至于发展到自相残杀的地步吧？”
你也看到了，就连魔族也位列其中，甚至包括了屠戮天魔。 不过，老大在的时候，这些问题都没有表现出来，为了展示联合的诚意，白泽甚至主动舍弃了人类形态——他是唯一一个没有沾染多少杀孽，却堕落成魔的地仙。”
王陆略微惊讶：“想不到他还有些许可取之处。”
“白泽身为副手的时候一直很称职，是老大走了以后他才变得无所适从。 我们其他人也一样，老大走了，他那些最为忠实可靠的伙伴也大多随他一起走了。
听到这里，王陆大致明白了地仙阵营的问题所在。
如玄墨所说，缺少一个强有力的领导者时，地仙这个组织内讧几乎是必然的，如果没有这场群仙大比，大概他们早就开始自相残杀了。 那些修行浩然正气的，怎么可能与屠戮天魔和谐共处？
天魔以杀戮为生，平白无故就要杀人，那么正道修士见了要不要阻拦？ 阻拦以后会不会生仇？
这个时候，万仙盟组织的群仙大比，反而是给了他们一个团结的契机……而比赛前期，地仙们势如破竹的态势也多少压制了矛盾的爆发。
直到王陆开始领导逆袭，将局面翻转，矛盾就再次爆发了。
而这一次爆发的结果，就是那场化神团战。

Chapter 700 - The Dragons Have No Leader
Unlike the last visit to Xuan Mo at the vortex of the galaxy, this time, Wang Lu was ready for the fight.
The last time they met, Wang Lu and Xuan Mo had a very happy conversation. That was because each of them grasped the sense of the conversation and didn’t go out of the line, so the atmosphere was harmonious. At the same time, Wang Lu’s departure was not informed to anyone beforehand, therefore even the Earth Immortal side was also caught off guard.
However, in the aftermath of Deity Stage Group Fight, the Earth Immortals lost two people and 1500 points. As one of the contestants, Xuan Mo’s conversation with Wang Lu was really impossible to explain.

Wang Lu also didn’t think that this was her limit. He had full confidence in Wang Wu, so he brought this cheap-but-excellent bodyguard and directly went to the Heavenly Earth of the Tomb of the Immortals.
However, to his surprise, the journey was safe, and no one came forward to stop them, nor did he step on any sinister trap. Along the way, they were unimpeded in seeing the master of the Heavenly Earth Xuan Mo, still as before in that elegant palace. This female Earth Immortal sat quietly in the palace hall, somewhat entranced.
Seeing the two of them, Xuan Mo nodded, showed a far-fetched smile, and then ignored them. Wang Lu thought it was strange. Since her recovery from her schizophrenic state, Xuan Mo had always been knowledgeable and reasonable. But now, since there were guests coming to her place, how could she not even offered a few cups of tea?
It was not until Wang Lu sat down in front of her, ready to ask questions that Xuan Mo, seemingly woken up from a dream, said in a surprise, “Ah, you guys are here?”
Wang Lu angrily said, “Your condescending divine ability has reached the realm of fairyland.”
Xuan Mo smiled apologetically. “I was somewhat distracted.” Then she got up to prepare to serve tea for the guests. However, her posture was shaky, her gait was unsteady, her cheek slowly flushed, her forehead was filled with clear beads of sweat, and her vision was blurry.
Upon seeing it, Wang Lu was shocked and he immediately asked Wang Wu, “I want to ask the advice of a professional, do you think she’s enjoying a certain taboo pleasure?”
Wang Wu fell into deep thought. “Unexpectedly, the ancient Earth Immortals could be so bold, they do adultery out in the open in plain daylight like it’s normal.

The two were whispering in secret, but suddenly saw Xuan Mo staggered and, as if she couldn’t suppress, belched. In an instant, the entire hall reeked with alcohol.
Wang Lu was dumbfounded, “Was that just because of drunk?”
With that, his eyes turned toward the futon where Xuan Mo previously sat. What he saw was abstruse texture in which contained a calming mind array.

“It’s okay. Moreover, looking at your performance, I have also determined a lot of conjectures, which is of great significance.
The fact that Xuan Mo was heavily drunk was of great significance in itself. In theory, she was not an indulgent cultivator, her manners, words, and deeds were all according to propriety. Even such a person drink wine, she would only taste it and rarely get drunk. Unless there was a special circumstance.
For example, the Deity Stage level group fight not long ago.
Wang Lu went straight to the point, “Do you guys have internal dispute?”
Xuan Mo smiled bitterly. “Yes.”
Internal dispute should not have been said to outsiders at will, but after that awful group fight, people who use their heads could immediately guess about this internal strife. It was basically could not be concealed at all, and thus, Xuan Mo would not hide it.
Wang Lu said with a smile, “The few of you were pushed aside right?”
The several people who participated in the Deity Stage level group fight actually had one thing in common if one were to think about it: They were all the losers in the Grand Competition.
In the opening battle, Xuan Mo lost to He Tu, then Calculation Immortal was defeated by Supreme Tian Lun, and although Flesh and Blood Massacre was better than Zhu Shiyao, it was defeated by Zhou Ming in Yuanying Stage level fight. Not to mention the Illusionary Child who was beaten around in circle by Wang Wu. As for Bai Ze… even the position as the deputy leader was already lost; among the Earth Immortals, he was already a disgrace.
These people were not weak, but their experience was really unbearable, and thus it was extremely gloomy to put these five people into a team.
“Being pushed aside is one thing, but squeezing out people’s live is too much—don’t look at me, we don’t want to kill anybody here. Who would’ve expected that your people would be so incapable of holding back from fighting each other, the Grand Earth Immortals die as quickly as rabbits. As the person involved, could you even say that there’s no one from your side that started it? I thought you guys are brothers and sisters who share life and death together, how could, within six months of Grand Competition, you guys quickly turn into enemies with each other?”
Xuan Mo stared at Wang Lu in dismay. She was silent for a long time and could not speak. Obviously, she was not willing to say more.
Wang Lu also had the patience for it. While Xuan Mo kept her silence, he moved back and forth in the hall, searching for an inheritance from the Earth Immortal from the ruins caused by the drunken hurricane—he did find several methods that Xuan Mo read every day. The product of Earth Immortal was naturally of fine quality, so Wang Lu looked at it with gusto. While he was at it, he also copied several so that he could bring them back with the intent to sell.
Wang Wu was more direct, whenever she saw something valuable in the ruins, she unceremoniously grabbed it and put it into her mustard seed bag.
Xuan Mo was stunned for a while. Seeing these two, who were professionals in acting as host while being the guest, she shook her head helplessly. “The situation is very bad.”
Wang Lu immediately stopped writing and asked, “Specifically? What is the root of the internal strive?” After a pause, he added, “In the final analysis, we are not enemies. In the face of the threat from the Fallen Immortals, we should cooperate more than compete. We certainly hope to win the Grand Competition, but we don’t want to win but lose the teammates that we ought to unite with.”
When Xuan Mo heard that, she sighed and put down her reservation. She then opened her mouth and said, “The dragons have no leader.”
“The dragons have no leader? Even so, it shouldn’t develop into the situation of killing one another right?”
Xuan Mo said, “I also didn’t expect things to be so serious… But in fact, when the team was first formed, in order to join forces, the composition of the Earth Immortals was somewhat complicated. As you can see, even the Demon Race was included, even the Massacre Devil. However, when the boss was still alive, these problems didn’t show up. In order to show the sincerity of the union, even Bai Ze took the initiative to abandon his human form—he was the only Earth Immortal who was degenerated into devil without being infected with much evil.”
Wang Lu was slightly surprised. “Unexpectedly, he actually has some good points.”
“When he was the deputy leader, Bai Ze has always been competent. It was when the boss left that he became at a loss. The rest of us are the same. When the boss left, most of his loyal and reliable partners went with him. The remaining of us, are indeed like scattered sand. If there’s no one who restrains it, the contradictions would inevitably accumulate. Thus, in the beginning, we built the Tombs of Immortals in accordance with our wish, placing our hope on the people who came after us… Now I think that it’s really a mistake for us to wake up.”
Hearing this, Wang Lu roughly understood the problems of the Earth Immortals.
As Xuan Mo said, in the absence of a strong leader, infighting within the organization is almost inevitable. Without this Grand Competition, they would’ve probably already begun killing each other. How could those who cultivated overwhelming righteousness coexist in harmony with the Massacre Devils?
The devils live on killing, and they killed people for no reason. Should the righteous cultivators stop them when they saw it? Would there be enmity after that obstruction? Would they want to retaliate after having enmity? In the absence of a strong personality to mediate and resolve the contradictions, this team was certainly unstable.
At this time, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals’ Grand Competition gave them a chance to unite… In the early stage of the competition, the Earth Immortals’ momentum had somewhat suppressed the outbreak of the contradictions.
Until Wang Lu began to lead the counterattack and turned the situation around and the contradictions broke again.
The result of this outbreak was exactly that Deity Stage Group Fight.

"value": "Chapter 124\nA dim morning sunlight peeped out from behind the horizon, shining again on the endless white snowland.\nThe campfire from the previous night had extinguished and Xiaozhai was reviving it. Because there was no room for them to stay below, they had cleared out a small area up here as their temporary campsite.\nSima Che walked around and came back sighing. “I’ve checked everywhere. There’s nothing to eat.”\n“Sigh, if only we had a pan or a pot, at least we could have some hot water to drink.”\n“Yeah, it seems we’ll have to work on an empty stomach.”\nSima and Xiaozhai exchanged some small talk, putting up an easy-going atmosphere, while Gu Yu was sitting aside adjusting his breathing with closed eyes. His internal injury could not be taken lightly, but wasn’t life-threatening either. All he needed was a nice place and some good rest.\nClearing his head of all unnecessary thoughts, he turned his mental power inward. Five lumps of air of different colors seemed to be floating in a lightless universe. Beside them, a streak of white vapor was moving slowly. With every cycle the vapor completed, the lumps of air recovered by a little bit.\nIn doing so, a thin layer of illumination glowed all over his face. The changing radiance looked magical, making any onlooker admire it in silence.\nSima Che watched him with admiration and envy. He could not help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, is this the Essence-consuming Method?”\n“Yes. He’s treating his internal injury now and can’t be disturbed. Let’s go down.”\n“Oh, sure!”\nThe two descended to the valley and located a digging zone, which was three times the size centering the spot where the houses used to be, for they could not have been destroyed standing still, but should be thrown into the air, then scattered around.\nThey had no digging tools and had to use their bare hands. The valley was extremely cold, the snow colder, and their naked hands the coldest of all. It did not take long for them to turn red and numb in the freezing weather.\nShocked repeatedly yesterday, having little rest over the night and adding to the fact that they were working on an empty stomach, Sima Che was quite out of form at the moment. He straightened up and looked in the direction of Jiang Xiaozhai. She was panting for breath as well, but did not for a moment stop digging. She was absorbed in her work.\nAs a matter of fact, Sima Che had put all his attention on Gu Yu before and did not think much of the woman. Right now, however, he found it necessary to reevaluate her and drew the most straightforward conclusion: she was not all that ordinary.\n“Huh?”\nWhile he was lingering on his thoughts, Xiaozhai let out a soft cry and dragged a wooden board out of a snow pit about 15 cm deep. She chuckled, “Lucky me. This could be our shovel. There you go!”\nLifting up her arm, she tossed the board at Sima Che with a swish.\nHe swallowed the other half of the sentence resentfully, for the woman had taken out a larger board.\n‘What the hell!’ The feeling he had now was a peculiar one. Sima Che, who had always thought little of amorous affection, was filled with unspoken criticism towards the duo now. ‘Exactly how have you two been getting along with each other?’\nThe area they singled out was correct and their forage had turned out quite fruitful. Among their harvests were broken pots, rags, glass shards, and what was left of a water tank.\nThey had kept all of them. After all, they were under exceptional circumstances at the moment. Maybe they would turn out to be useful.\nSima Che paused slightly in his digging, then sped up. A chunk of snow was soon cleared away, revealing a green jade casket the size of a cigarette box.\nIt was made from the same material as that jade plate, taken off from the mutated rock surrounding the lake. “…”\nHe darted a look at Xiaozhai, hid the jade casket into his chest pocket stealthily, and resumed digging.\nXiaozhai was completely unaware of his findings, for she had found something herself as well. Clearing away the snow with all her effort, she tugged forcibly, dragging out an object—her backpack.\nUnzipping the bag, she saw that some of the contents were damaged, which she paid no attention to. Also in the backpack were several bags of super-concentrated wheat flour, soybean flour, compressed biscuits, and those raw meatballs they made themselves.\n“I found food!” she lifted up the bag and shook it.\n“What do you have in there?”\nSima Che ran to her at once, also delighted by the discovery. With food, there was hope.\nGu Yu was staring at the fire in boredom, feeding it with a piece of wood every now and then. He saw the two return from a distance away as they tossed everything on the ground with a clang. He was amazed, “How come you two look like scavengers?”\n“We did not scavenge. These are our precious.”\n“Get out of the way!”\nXiaozhai would not stay idle for even a minute. She placed a wooden board on the ground, dried a ragged blanket over the fire and covered the board with the blanket. They even brought back half of a square pillow. Within no time, she had build a makeshift cot.\n“It’ll work for the time being. I’ll make you a better one when we find some bedding.”\nShe supported Gu Yu with her hand and let him slouch on the bed, half leaning. It was indeed much better than a wooden pole.\nAfter that, she strutted two pots over the fire, one to cook flour paste and the other meatball. The wheat flour was remarkable. One bag of it would give them a full pot of paste. The meatball was beyond description. The heat, the fat… it was mouth-watering.\nThey were all famished. For a while, no one said a word. All there was were the slurps and swallowing sounds of the three people.\nAfter the meal, seeing that the sun was still yet to set, Sima and Xiaozhai went down the mountain again.\nTheir first day of digging was fruitful. Not only did they find the other backpack, but more importantly, they finally dug out a shovel, well, the head of a shovel.\nInstantly, they found their chances of survival increase greatly. The only problem was that the food was not exactly ample. Had there been another accident, there might not be enough for all three of them.\n“Crackle!”\nThe flame licked at the dry twig. Everything else was in the darkness. Another night had fallen.\nSima Che was absorbed in the only recreational activity there was at the moment—he was still studying the ancient seal. Gu Yu and Xiaozhai were on the opposite side as usual, whispering with their heads close together.\n“I wonder what Xiao Qiu is doing right now.”\n“You know what she’s like. She’s probably coming into the mountains to search for us.”\nThey couldn’t help it. If threatened, Long Qiu might follow the order of her brother and sister, releasing the Golden Silkworm. If not, she would never hurt the villagers, but choose to endure it all by herself.\nHaving been locked away for so long, they knew how frantic it would become without even having to think about it!\nIn a way, it was quite interesting. Being stranded in the snow mountains, the two of them worried not about their own circumstances, but cared only about the girl outside these mountains. After a brief silence, Gu Yu seemed to remember something and called out suddenly, “Fellow Daoist Sima!”\n“What is it, Fellow Daoist Gu?” Sima Che looked up.\n“We were all busy with staying alive before and did not have the chance. Now that we’ve got time, I need to ask. Since you’ve got the ancient seal, what about the thing you promised us? You haven’t forgot it, have you?”\n“Haha, Fellow Daoist, please don’t make fun of me. You know I’m not that sort of person who would forget about his own honor for the sake of gold!”\nSima Che replied immediately at Gu Yu’s remark. “However, I had dropped the box in the brooks and have no idea of its whereabouts at the moment. And we have no pen here. As much as I want to give it to you, I can’t do it.”“Senior, did you write down the Thunder Technique yourself?” Xiaozhai asked.\n“Exactly!”\n“In that case, you can recite it to us. We can remember it,” grinned her.\n“That, I’m afraid, would not be very appropriate.”\nSima Che shook his head and said, “I have written it down following the ancient books of my sect. I’m afraid I might make mistakes reciting it. How about we look for it again tomorrow? It would be better if we could find the book recording the secret skill. If not, I’ll recite it to you.”\n“You’ve got a point. We’ll have to work hard tomorrow again.”\n“Well, it’s late. Let’s all go to bed.”\nOur two fellow turned off like a switch at the words. Gu Yu lay on the cot with Xiaozhai next to him, lying on nothing but a piece of ragged cloth.\n“Crack!”\nThe campsite fell silent right away. They had put in plenty of firewood beforehand. The dancing flame separated the two sides.\nSima Che gazed at the other two across the fire. He reached into his chest pocket and touched the thing inside.\nThe following day, noon.\nXiaozhai and Sima Che continued with their digging. However, they seemed to have exhausted all their luck yesterday and found next to nothing so far. Nothing useful came out of their search.\nXiaozhai simply abandoned the area surrounding the wooden houses and moved a few meters closer to the tunnel entrance.\nHer face brightened up with her digging, for she pulled a half-bedding out of the snow—there was only half of a usual bedding left. It was cladded thickly with ice and felt as hard and solid as a flagstone.\n“This is nice, much better than that lousy blanket.”\nShe turned around and called out, “Senior, I need to go back. The bedding needs drying asap!”\n“I’ll go, then. You can save some strength.”\nSima Che came up to her, showing his apparent concern.\n“Ok, thank you for taking the trouble, Senior.” Xiaozhai did not turn him down.\nTaking over the bedding, he ran swiftly up the mountain. Arriving at the campsite, he found Gu Yu still meditating with his eyes closed, as if completely unaware of activities of the outside world.\nQuietly, Sima Che put down the bedding. A glint of hesitation and struggle flashed across his face, then the cold and gloomy look took over.\nHe advanced carefully one step at a time. When he reached the campfire, Gu Yu opened his eyes abruptly.\n‘Tsk!’\nSima Che’s heart leapt and he forced himself to remain poised. Before he could think of an excuse, Gu Yu looked into his eyes and said, “You want to kill me?”\nHe winced, then squinted and made another step forward. Gu Yu showed no sign of panic and kept on asking, “Why?”\n“…” He remained silent.\n“Because that Thunder Technique is a fake and you don’t have the genuine one?”\n“You knew it all along?” Finally, he replied.\n“Nope. I was only speculating, but now, I’m sure.”\nGu Yu’s face was indifferent and one could not tell what he was thinking. “Where is Xiaozhai?”\n“Still down there. Don’t worry, though. After what we’ve been through together, I’ll bury you two in one grave.” Sima Che’s voice was growing colder.\nExactly, he never had the Thunder Technique to begin with!\nEver since their encounter, he had been bluffing. Knowing that Gu Yu was in an innate state, he had been trying to take advantage of Gu Yu’s cultivation. The paper scroll in the box was nothing but a collage of bits and pieces taken from various manuals of his sect.\nHe was well aware of the consequences should Gu Yu see through his little scheme. However, with what he was to gain, nothing else mattered.\nHe was planning to stall for as long as he could. After the two came after him last night, though, he decided to strike first and gain the upper hand. His plan was to take out Gu Yu first, then get rid of Xiaozhai, who he thought to be harmless.\nHearing this, Gu Yu sighed softly and said, “If you went after her first, at least you would die such a miserable death later.”\n“Humph! Bluff all you want!”\nSima Che had walked past the campfire and was only a few steps away from Gu Yu. He shook his arm, producing an arrow of fast-moving air from his sleeve. It was a demonstration of his power, one that was infinitely close to the innate state.\nAlmost simultaneously, he opened his mouth, revealing a green flicker. Something was going to be shot out.\nThis was his true deadly weapon! It was a sinister secret skill that he invented after years of research.\nHe had been most scrupulous. Gu Yu was suffering from internal injury and had difficulty getting about. It was a perfect opportunity for him. Unfortunately, little did he know that that fellow’s specialty was never hand-to-hand combat. “Ah!”\nThe green light flickered and was distinguished in a flash. Sima Che screamed instead.\nHis body convulsed, twisting into an unnatural angle from head to toe, instantly shortening him by a half. He tumbled to the ground, scratching at his skin with both hands non-stop like an insane person while wailing and howling.\n“Ah… don’t bite me… ah!”\nHis nails had sunk deep into his flesh, cutting out bloody gashes so deep that his tendons and bones were showing. One could hardly bear the sight.\nHe darted a look at Xiaozhai, hid the jade casket into his chest pocket stealthily, and resumed digging.\n“Ah… don’t bite me… ah!”\n“Help me, help!”\nWithin a few breaths’ time, the screams weakened and Sima Che lay flat on the ground, like a dehydrated dead fish. He was covered by blood, almost as good as dead.\nHe wouldn’t last more than two hours if left there untreated.\nAt that moment, Xiaozhai came back. She gave Sima Che a glance and covered her mouth, retching slightly. “What’s with the gory scene?” “…”\nGu Yu looked sullen and did not answer. After all, it was his first time killing someone with his own hands. Xiaozhai of course understood his feelings. She herself was having a hard time taking it in as well. Dragging the man aside, she asked, “What are we gonna do with him later?”"

第一百二十四章
晨光微露，又是一片白雪茫茫。
昨晚的篝火已冷，小斋正重新点燃，由于下面无处歇息，这里已经辟出一小块空地，用作临时宿营。
司马彻去别处转了转，唉声叹气的回来，道：“都找遍了，没有吃的。”
“唉，有个锅盆也好，起码能喝点热水。”
“是啊，看来得饿着肚子干活了。”
俩人随便聊了几句，貌似一团和气，顾玙则坐在一旁，仍然闭目调息。 他的内伤不算轻，也不算重，如果有个好环境，休养一段便可。
不过现在，恰恰缺的就是个好环境。 他灵台空明，神识内照，五个颜色的气团似浮于黑洞洞的宇宙中，另有一道白气缓缓运行，每运行周天，气团就恢复几分。
这般调息，使得他脸上呈现出一层薄薄的虚光，似神采变幻，令人暗暗称奇。
司马彻见了，羡慕又嫉妒，忍不住问：“江道友，这就是食气法么？” “对啊。
他正调理内伤，受不得打扰，我们还是下去吧。”
“哦，好好！”
俩人下到谷中，在原来房屋的位置再放大三圈，划定了挖掘区。 因为房屋不可能原地摧毁，肯定被冲上了天，然后四处散落。
他们没有任何工具，只能徒手挖掘。 谷中极冷，雪地极冷，光溜溜的手更是冷，不一会，已冻得通红麻木。
司马彻昨日连番惊吓，晚间又没休息好，加上腹中饥饿，状态十分不济。 他直起身，往那边瞧去，见江小斋也是气喘吁吁，却片刻未停，神情专注。
老实说，他之前的注意力都在顾玙身上，没太看得起这个女人。 而这会，不由得重新打量，得出最直接的评价：有些不凡。
“咦？”
他正想着，忽见小斋轻呼一声，从半尺多深的雪坑里拽出一块木板，笑道：“运气不错，可以当锹使，你先拿着！”
她手一扬，嗖的就甩了过去。
刚吐了半句，丫就悻悻闭嘴，眼瞅着那女人又拎出一块更大的。
好嘛！ 这种感觉特奇妙，一向对男女之情无感的司马彻，莫名腹诽起二人：你们俩到底怎么相处的？ 不知不觉到了中午，强烈的太阳光笼罩全谷，雪亮亮的泛着金彩。
他们圈定的范围很正确，已经捡拾了不少东西，有破锅，有破布，有破草席，还有碎玻璃和水缸残片。
这些统统收着，毕竟情况特殊，指不定能用到什么。
司马彻挖着挖着，忽然动作微顿，随即又加快度。 雪块被迅清出，露出一个青色的，烟盒大小的玉匣。
这玉匣的材质，跟那块玉佩相同，都是从湖边的变异岩敲的。
他瞄了一眼小斋，偷偷把玉匣藏进怀里，继续挖掘。
小斋那边全然不知，因为也有了收获，只见她奋力挖出积雪，使劲一拽，就揪出一个东西，正是自己的背包。
她打开一瞧，有些物品已经损坏，但无所谓，里面还有几包浓缩的麦粉、豆粉，压缩饼干，以及自制的肉团团。
“我找到食物了！” 她举着晃了晃。
“都有什么？”
司马彻连忙跑过来，见了也是欣喜，有食物才能有希望。
当即，俩人也不挖了，干脆返回营地。 顾玙正无聊的看着火堆，不时添一根柴，远远的瞧着他们回来，然后哗啷往地上一扔，奇道：“怎么跟个收破烂的似的？”
“这些可不是破烂，都是宝贝。”
“你让开点！”
小斋一刻不得闲，先找了块木板摆好，又把破毯子烤干往上一铺，甚至还有半个方枕。 眨眼间，她就鼓捣出一张简易床。
“凑合躺吧，找到被褥再给你换张好的。”
她扶着顾玙，半靠半倚的歪在床上，确实比木桩子舒服多了。
之后，她又架了两口锅，一口煮麦糊，一口煮肉团。 那麦粉极为强大，一包就能熬出一锅。
大家都饿坏了，一时没了言语，只剩下呼噜呼噜的吞咽声。
吃过饭后，趁着天没黑，俩人再次下山。
第一天的收获非常多，另一个背包也挖了出来，最重要的是，总算挖到了铁锹，虽然只是个锹头。
霎时间，生存的希望大大增加。 就是食物还稍显不足，如果再生意外，可能不够三个人的份量。
“啪！”
火苗舔着干枝，周遭漆黑，又一个夜晚降临。
司马彻进行着唯一的业余活动，还在研究那枚古印。 二人依旧在对面，头碰头的说着悄悄话。
“也不知小秋怎么样了。”
“以她的性子，应该会进山找我们吧。”
“唉，我倒希望她碰到危险了。” 没办法，如果有危机，龙秋还可能听哥哥姐姐的话，放出金蚕蛊。 如果没危机，她肯定不会伤害村民，选择自己承受。
金蚕蛊被封了这么久，用屁股想都知道，得疯狂成什么样子！
说来也有趣，俩人身困雪山，却对自己的处境毫不担忧，只担心雪山之外的那个小姑娘。 而沉默了一会，顾玙似想到什么事情，忽然唤道：“司马道友！”
“顾道友，有事么？” 司马彻抬头。
“之前求生慌乱，没来得及讲。 现在我想问问，你已经拿到了古印，那答应我们的东西呢？ 你不会忘了吧？”
司马彻一听，立即应道：“只是那盒子掉落山涧，不知埋在何处。
现在又没有笔墨，我想给你们也没办法。” “前辈，那雷法是你撰录的么？” 小斋问。
“正是！”
“那你口述一份不就行了，我们记得住。” 她笑道。
“这个，怕是不妥。”
司马彻摇了摇头，道：“我也是照着师门典籍攥录，口述恐有误差。 不如我们明天再找找，最好能找到那本秘法，若实在找不到，我再口述一份。”
“也有道理，那我们明天再辛苦些。”
“好了，不早了，先休息吧。”
那俩货说睡就睡，顾玙躺在床上，小斋靠在身边，就垫着一块破布。
“噼啪！”
营地顿时安静，木柴加了不少，火势不歇，隔开了双方阵营。
司马彻透过火堆，盯着对面二人，又摸了摸怀中。
次日，中午。
小斋和司马彻继续着挖掘工作，不过好运气都在昨天用完了，今天收获甚微，一样有用的都没找到。
小斋索性放弃了木屋范围，往洞口那边移了数米。
而她挖着挖着，眼睛突然一亮，居然扯出了半床被褥——因为裂成了两半，只能叫半床。 这被褥满是冰茬，厚厚实实，硬的像块石板。
“这个不错，比那破毯子强多了。”
她转过头，喊道：“前辈，我得回去一趟，被子要尽快烤干才行！”
“那我送回去吧，你省些体力。”
“也好，麻烦前辈了。” 小斋没拒绝。
“我们这种处境，什么麻烦不麻烦的，我去去就回。”
他接过被子，噌噌噌就上了山腰，到了临时营地，见顾玙还在打坐，双目紧闭，似对外界毫不知情。
司马彻把被子轻轻放下，眼中闪过一丝犹豫和挣扎，转而又变得阴冷。
他小心踩着地面，一步步向前走去，刚到火堆附近，顾玙猛地睁开了眼。
咝！
司马彻心中一抽，强自镇定，可没等想好说辞，就见对方瞧着自己，来了句：“你想杀我？”
他一怔，随即眼睛眯起，又往前迈了一步。
他依然不答。
“那雷法是假的，你根本没有雷法？”
他总算开口。
“不，之前只是猜测，现在才确定。”
顾玙一脸淡然，看不出什么神色，问：“小斋呢？”
“她还在下面，不过你放心，我们患难一场，我会将你们同葬。” 司马彻的声音愈冰冷。
没错，他压根就没有雷法！
起初就各种晃点，知道顾玙是先天跟脚，便想诓些好处。 那盒子里的纸卷，只是将门派功法拆乱重组，编造出的一套东西。
他不是不知道，自己被识破的后果，只是利益当头，后果算什么？
本想着能拖就拖，可昨晚被俩人追要，他才想先下手为强，先解决掉顾玙，再干掉貌似无害的小斋。
顾玙听了，却轻叹一声：道：“你如果先对她出手，等下死的就不会这么难看了。”
“哼，虚张声势！”
司马彻已经过了火堆，距他仅有数步之遥，当即手中一晃，袍袖抖出一道气劲，正是无限接近先天的实力。
而几乎同时，他嘴巴一张，口中青芒闪烁，竟似有东西要射出。
苦心多年，研究出的一门阴毒秘术！
他本是很小心了，顾玙身负内伤，行动不便，此乃下手良机。 可惜他不知道，那家伙最擅长的，从来就不是肉搏。
那青芒一闪，转瞬即灭，转而出了一声惨叫。
司马彻的身子一抽，从头到脚拧成一种诡异的角度，生生短了半截。 他扑通摔倒在地，用双手不断抓着皮肉，状若疯癫，哀嚎连连。
“啊！”
他的指甲都扣进了肉里，抓出一道道血痕，筋骨暴露，简直惨不忍睹。
顾玙就在近前盘坐，眼中先是不忍，又慢慢变的深邃漆暗。
“啊！”
“救我，救我！”
数个呼吸间，那惨叫声便越来越小。 司马彻像蒸干了水分的死鱼，直挺挺躺在地上，鲜血淋漓，只剩了半口气。
倘若不管不顾，估计挺不到两个小时。
此时，小斋跟了上来，瞟了眼司马彻，掩嘴轻呕：“怎么弄得这么惨？”
顾玙神情沉郁，并未答话，毕竟第一次亲手杀人。 小斋当然理解，其实她自己也不舒服，把那家伙拖到一边，问：“一会怎么处理？”

Chapter 124
A dim morning sunlight peeped out from behind the horizon, shining again on the endless white snowland.
The campfire from the previous night had extinguished and Xiaozhai was reviving it. Because there was no room for them to stay below, they had cleared out a small area up here as their temporary campsite.
Sima Che walked around and came back sighing. “I’ve checked everywhere. There’s nothing to eat.”
“Sigh, if only we had a pan or a pot, at least we could have some hot water to drink.”
“Yeah, it seems we’ll have to work on an empty stomach.”
Sima and Xiaozhai exchanged some small talk, putting up an easy-going atmosphere, while Gu Yu was sitting aside adjusting his breathing with closed eyes. His internal injury could not be taken lightly, but wasn’t life-threatening either. All he needed was a nice place and some good rest.
Clearing his head of all unnecessary thoughts, he turned his mental power inward. Five lumps of air of different colors seemed to be floating in a lightless universe. Beside them, a streak of white vapor was moving slowly. With every cycle the vapor completed, the lumps of air recovered by a little bit.
In doing so, a thin layer of illumination glowed all over his face. The changing radiance looked magical, making any onlooker admire it in silence.
Sima Che watched him with admiration and envy. He could not help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, is this the Essence-consuming Method?”
“Yes. He’s treating his internal injury now and can’t be disturbed. Let’s go down.”
“Oh, sure!”
The two descended to the valley and located a digging zone, which was three times the size centering the spot where the houses used to be, for they could not have been destroyed standing still, but should be thrown into the air, then scattered around.
They had no digging tools and had to use their bare hands. The valley was extremely cold, the snow colder, and their naked hands the coldest of all. It did not take long for them to turn red and numb in the freezing weather.
Shocked repeatedly yesterday, having little rest over the night and adding to the fact that they were working on an empty stomach, Sima Che was quite out of form at the moment. He straightened up and looked in the direction of Jiang Xiaozhai. She was panting for breath as well, but did not for a moment stop digging. She was absorbed in her work.
As a matter of fact, Sima Che had put all his attention on Gu Yu before and did not think much of the woman. Right now, however, he found it necessary to reevaluate her and drew the most straightforward conclusion: she was not all that ordinary.
“Huh?”
While he was lingering on his thoughts, Xiaozhai let out a soft cry and dragged a wooden board out of a snow pit about 15 cm deep. She chuckled, “Lucky me. This could be our shovel. There you go!”
Lifting up her arm, she tossed the board at Sima Che with a swish.
He swallowed the other half of the sentence resentfully, for the woman had taken out a larger board.
‘What the hell!’ The feeling he had now was a peculiar one. Sima Che, who had always thought little of amorous affection, was filled with unspoken criticism towards the duo now. ‘Exactly how have you two been getting along with each other?’
The area they singled out was correct and their forage had turned out quite fruitful. Among their harvests were broken pots, rags, glass shards, and what was left of a water tank.
They had kept all of them. After all, they were under exceptional circumstances at the moment. Maybe they would turn out to be useful.
Sima Che paused slightly in his digging, then sped up. A chunk of snow was soon cleared away, revealing a green jade casket the size of a cigarette box.
It was made from the same material as that jade plate, taken off from the mutated rock surrounding the lake. “…”
He darted a look at Xiaozhai, hid the jade casket into his chest pocket stealthily, and resumed digging.
Xiaozhai was completely unaware of his findings, for she had found something herself as well. Clearing away the snow with all her effort, she tugged forcibly, dragging out an object—her backpack.
Unzipping the bag, she saw that some of the contents were damaged, which she paid no attention to. Also in the backpack were several bags of super-concentrated wheat flour, soybean flour, compressed biscuits, and those raw meatballs they made themselves.
“I found food!” she lifted up the bag and shook it.
“What do you have in there?”
Sima Che ran to her at once, also delighted by the discovery. With food, there was hope.
Gu Yu was staring at the fire in boredom, feeding it with a piece of wood every now and then. He saw the two return from a distance away as they tossed everything on the ground with a clang. He was amazed, “How come you two look like scavengers?”
“We did not scavenge. These are our precious.”
“Get out of the way!”
Xiaozhai would not stay idle for even a minute. She placed a wooden board on the ground, dried a ragged blanket over the fire and covered the board with the blanket. They even brought back half of a square pillow. Within no time, she had build a makeshift cot.
“It’ll work for the time being. I’ll make you a better one when we find some bedding.”
She supported Gu Yu with her hand and let him slouch on the bed, half leaning. It was indeed much better than a wooden pole.
After that, she strutted two pots over the fire, one to cook flour paste and the other meatball. The wheat flour was remarkable. One bag of it would give them a full pot of paste. The meatball was beyond description. The heat, the fat… it was mouth-watering.
They were all famished. For a while, no one said a word. All there was were the slurps and swallowing sounds of the three people.
After the meal, seeing that the sun was still yet to set, Sima and Xiaozhai went down the mountain again.
Their first day of digging was fruitful. Not only did they find the other backpack, but more importantly, they finally dug out a shovel, well, the head of a shovel.
Instantly, they found their chances of survival increase greatly. The only problem was that the food was not exactly ample. Had there been another accident, there might not be enough for all three of them.
“Crackle!”
The flame licked at the dry twig. Everything else was in the darkness. Another night had fallen.
Sima Che was absorbed in the only recreational activity there was at the moment—he was still studying the ancient seal. Gu Yu and Xiaozhai were on the opposite side as usual, whispering with their heads close together.
“I wonder what Xiao Qiu is doing right now.”
“You know what she’s like. She’s probably coming into the mountains to search for us.”
They couldn’t help it. If threatened, Long Qiu might follow the order of her brother and sister, releasing the Golden Silkworm. If not, she would never hurt the villagers, but choose to endure it all by herself.
Having been locked away for so long, they knew how frantic it would become without even having to think about it!
In a way, it was quite interesting. Being stranded in the snow mountains, the two of them worried not about their own circumstances, but cared only about the girl outside these mountains. After a brief silence, Gu Yu seemed to remember something and called out suddenly, “Fellow Daoist Sima!”
“What is it, Fellow Daoist Gu?” Sima Che looked up.
“We were all busy with staying alive before and did not have the chance. Now that we’ve got time, I need to ask. Since you’ve got the ancient seal, what about the thing you promised us? You haven’t forgot it, have you?”
“Haha, Fellow Daoist, please don’t make fun of me. You know I’m not that sort of person who would forget about his own honor for the sake of gold!”
Sima Che replied immediately at Gu Yu’s remark. “However, I had dropped the box in the brooks and have no idea of its whereabouts at the moment. And we have no pen here. As much as I want to give it to you, I can’t do it.”“Senior, did you write down the Thunder Technique yourself?” Xiaozhai asked.
“Exactly!”
“In that case, you can recite it to us. We can remember it,” grinned her.
“That, I’m afraid, would not be very appropriate.”
Sima Che shook his head and said, “I have written it down following the ancient books of my sect. I’m afraid I might make mistakes reciting it. How about we look for it again tomorrow? It would be better if we could find the book recording the secret skill. If not, I’ll recite it to you.”
“You’ve got a point. We’ll have to work hard tomorrow again.”
“Well, it’s late. Let’s all go to bed.”
Our two fellow turned off like a switch at the words. Gu Yu lay on the cot with Xiaozhai next to him, lying on nothing but a piece of ragged cloth.
“Crack!”
The campsite fell silent right away. They had put in plenty of firewood beforehand. The dancing flame separated the two sides.
Sima Che gazed at the other two across the fire. He reached into his chest pocket and touched the thing inside.
The following day, noon.
Xiaozhai and Sima Che continued with their digging. However, they seemed to have exhausted all their luck yesterday and found next to nothing so far. Nothing useful came out of their search.
Xiaozhai simply abandoned the area surrounding the wooden houses and moved a few meters closer to the tunnel entrance.
Her face brightened up with her digging, for she pulled a half-bedding out of the snow—there was only half of a usual bedding left. It was cladded thickly with ice and felt as hard and solid as a flagstone.
“This is nice, much better than that lousy blanket.”
She turned around and called out, “Senior, I need to go back. The bedding needs drying asap!”
“I’ll go, then. You can save some strength.”
Sima Che came up to her, showing his apparent concern.
“Ok, thank you for taking the trouble, Senior.” Xiaozhai did not turn him down.
Taking over the bedding, he ran swiftly up the mountain. Arriving at the campsite, he found Gu Yu still meditating with his eyes closed, as if completely unaware of activities of the outside world.
Quietly, Sima Che put down the bedding. A glint of hesitation and struggle flashed across his face, then the cold and gloomy look took over.
He advanced carefully one step at a time. When he reached the campfire, Gu Yu opened his eyes abruptly.
‘Tsk!’
Sima Che’s heart leapt and he forced himself to remain poised. Before he could think of an excuse, Gu Yu looked into his eyes and said, “You want to kill me?”
He winced, then squinted and made another step forward. Gu Yu showed no sign of panic and kept on asking, “Why?”
“…” He remained silent.
“Because that Thunder Technique is a fake and you don’t have the genuine one?”
“You knew it all along?” Finally, he replied.
“Nope. I was only speculating, but now, I’m sure.”
Gu Yu’s face was indifferent and one could not tell what he was thinking. “Where is Xiaozhai?”
“Still down there. Don’t worry, though. After what we’ve been through together, I’ll bury you two in one grave.” Sima Che’s voice was growing colder.
Exactly, he never had the Thunder Technique to begin with!
Ever since their encounter, he had been bluffing. Knowing that Gu Yu was in an innate state, he had been trying to take advantage of Gu Yu’s cultivation. The paper scroll in the box was nothing but a collage of bits and pieces taken from various manuals of his sect.
He was well aware of the consequences should Gu Yu see through his little scheme. However, with what he was to gain, nothing else mattered.
He was planning to stall for as long as he could. After the two came after him last night, though, he decided to strike first and gain the upper hand. His plan was to take out Gu Yu first, then get rid of Xiaozhai, who he thought to be harmless.
Hearing this, Gu Yu sighed softly and said, “If you went after her first, at least you would die such a miserable death later.”
“Humph! Bluff all you want!”
Sima Che had walked past the campfire and was only a few steps away from Gu Yu. He shook his arm, producing an arrow of fast-moving air from his sleeve. It was a demonstration of his power, one that was infinitely close to the innate state.
Almost simultaneously, he opened his mouth, revealing a green flicker. Something was going to be shot out.
This was his true deadly weapon! It was a sinister secret skill that he invented after years of research.
He had been most scrupulous. Gu Yu was suffering from internal injury and had difficulty getting about. It was a perfect opportunity for him. Unfortunately, little did he know that that fellow’s specialty was never hand-to-hand combat. “Ah!”
The green light flickered and was distinguished in a flash. Sima Che screamed instead.
His body convulsed, twisting into an unnatural angle from head to toe, instantly shortening him by a half. He tumbled to the ground, scratching at his skin with both hands non-stop like an insane person while wailing and howling.
“Ah… don’t bite me… ah!”
His nails had sunk deep into his flesh, cutting out bloody gashes so deep that his tendons and bones were showing. One could hardly bear the sight.
He darted a look at Xiaozhai, hid the jade casket into his chest pocket stealthily, and resumed digging.
“Ah… don’t bite me… ah!”
“Help me, help!”
Within a few breaths’ time, the screams weakened and Sima Che lay flat on the ground, like a dehydrated dead fish. He was covered by blood, almost as good as dead.
He wouldn’t last more than two hours if left there untreated.
At that moment, Xiaozhai came back. She gave Sima Che a glance and covered her mouth, retching slightly. “What’s with the gory scene?” “…”
Gu Yu looked sullen and did not answer. After all, it was his first time killing someone with his own hands. Xiaozhai of course understood his feelings. She herself was having a hard time taking it in as well. Dragging the man aside, she asked, “What are we gonna do with him later?”

"value": "Chapter 348 The Revenge of the Golden Toad\nThe Golden Toad did not expect that its furious roar would reveal its location. Bloody’s leech pods had spent more than nine hours without finding any clue of the Golden Toad but the roar was heard by an Exploding Ladybird with a leech pod. Following the roar, the Exploding Ladybird soon found the volcano and confirmed that the Golden Toad was hiding in it.\n\"Does this Golden Toad have any long-distance monitoring ability?\" As soon as Lin Huang got the Golden Toad’s location, he asked Bloody as he continued fighting the monsters.\n\"Yes, all Golden Toads are born with eyes on their backs. The eyes come with a variety of skills including hypnosis, monitoring, and illusion-type abilities. They can even learn new skills on their own,\" Bloody explained.\n\"We must have been monitored by it since the beginning,\" Bloody added.\n\"It seems like we shouldn’t tell anyone about its location at the moment. Let’s tell Luo Li straightaway when she gets back to avoid the Golden Toad from finding out that its location has been revealed and escaping.\" Lin Huang decided to keep the news to himself when he found out that they were being monitored.\n\"I think so too,\" Bloody agreed.\n\"If the news gets out, it’ll definitely run away and we’ll need to spend more time to look for it.\"\n\"My concern is that since the Golden Toad didn’t manage to get what it wants, it might extend its Will for the second and third time. If that happens, that will affect the speed I'm killing monsters at.\" Lin Huang frowned.\n\"Moreover, since it was defeated by me once, it will take more time to kill it if there’s a second and third time.\"\n\"Master, you don’t have to worry about this as such a skill is limited. It won’t be able to do it the second time in such a short period of time. Master, you can kill the monsters without worrying about it.\" Bloody knew very well about the secret skill of its Will. Each time it activated it, there would be a 24 hour cooldown period.\n\"But I think it won’t give it up just like that.\" Lin Huang thought that the Golden Toad’s persistence for the God's Blood would not just end like this.\n\"If it wants to attack for the second time, it would have to come here itself.\" Bloody smiled.\nLin Huang shook his head to get the thoughts out of his head while focusing on killing the monsters. His efficiency had peaked again in his bulldozer mode. All the monsters within 30 meters were killed. Meanwhile, on the battlefield thousands of meters away, Si Kongjian and Zang Bing were leading many of the staff to slay more than 1,000 holy fire-level monsters. Although they were fewer humans than monsters, their strength was much more powerful than this bunch of holy fire-level monsters. Especially since Zang Bing and Si Kongjian were both gold flame-level, while there were only two purple flame-level monsters among them. The humans were winning.\nThey managed to kill more than 1,000 Transcendent monsters around 20 minutes. More than 300 Transcendent humans were heading towards the monster horde to send help. As Zang Bing and the rest were almost done with the Transcendent monsters, Bloody reminded Lin Huang to recall Lancelot and the Sanguine Skeleton Spirit into their card forms while Bloody released all the leech pods that it had cast within the 10,000 monsters.\nAs Zang Bing and the rest arrived, they did not find anything odd. There were just glad that everybody had made it. Many of them saw the monster carcasses and Lin Huang with blood stains standing among the dead bodies. They realized that they would have lost without Lin Huang. Since Zang Bing and the rest came to help, the 10,000 monsters were killed in an instant.\n\"Great job, Lin Huang!\" As soon as the battle ended, Zang Bing walked to Lin Huang and patted his shoulder. He was satisfied with Lin Huang’s performance these days. Even Si Kongjian could not help himself but tease Zang Bing to get Lin Huang to marry his daughter.\n\"Lin Huang, are you alright?\" Although Yi Yeyu was usually obnoxious, she was a girl after all and she soon noticed that Lin Huang was feeling down.\n\"Nothing, I’m just tired.\" Lin Huang smiled and shook his head, wanting to keep the secret.\n\"Take a good rest then.\" Her sixth sense told her that Lin Huang was hiding something from her but she did not ask further.\nLin Huang nodded and sat down while he closed his eyes to recover his strength. With Lancelot and the Sanguine Skeleton Spirit’s help, he did not lose much Life Power but his strength was drained.\nIn a spiritual volcano 20,000 kilometers away, the Golden Toad was solemn as it watched the entire battle.\n\"If 10,000 monsters are not enough, I shall give you a million monsters. If 1,000 holy fire-level monsters are not enough, I shall give you 10,000 of them. I don’t believe that a couple of hundred of you can kill everyone in this world!\"\nIt was late at night. A lady was sitting next to a gigantic volcano crater under the bright moonlight. She seemed to be only 13 or 14 years of age and was wearing a dark green military uniform that was clearly custom made. She was upset as she mumbled to herself, \"What should I do? I’ve already looked everywhere I know but I just can’t locate that damned toad… If this persists, I’ll have to stop the training…\"\nSince noon until 10 p.m., Luo Li had spent more than ten hours at many locations including the hiding place of the three overlord-rank monsters. She had searched up and down but she still could not find the Golden Toad. The only thing she had retrieved from followers of the overlord-rank monsters was that the Molten Dragon and Shadowflame Boa were really dead. However, none of the monsters knew where the Golden Toad was. She even went to all big spiritual volcanoes, lava lakes and lava rivers that were starred on the map that was provided by the Union Government but she found nothing.\n\"Oh no, I must tell Zang Bing and the rest!\" Luo Li took out her Transmission Snail immediately.\nThousands of meters away, Lin Huang, who was resting, opened his eyes suddenly. He was concerned as he heard news from Bloody. The final monster horde was arriving!"

黄金蛤蟆想不到的是，暴露自己的，竟然是自己的一声怒吼。 血色的寄生种子，花费了九个多小时的时间都没有找到黄金蛤蟆的藏身位置，但那一声怒吼，却被附近血色寄生的一只火瓢虫听见。
循着声音，火瓢虫很快找到了那座火山，确定了里面藏身的那只怪物就是黄金蛤蟆。
“是的，黄金蛤蟆都有一个名为负眼的天生能力，脊背之上都是眼睛。 具备多种瞳术技能，包括催眠，监控，幻术等，甚至可以通过学习来学会一些新的瞳术技能。”
血色解释道，“我们应该是从一开始，一直都处于它的监控之下。”
“这样看来，我们发现它坐标的消息暂时不能告诉其他人了，必须等罗莉回来直接告诉她，避免那只家伙发现坐标暴露而逃走。” 确定了自己一行人都处于被监控状态，林煌打算将这个消息暂时隐瞒下来。
“我也觉得这样处理更为稳妥。”
血色对此也表示赞同，“如果消息泄露出去，它肯定会从现在藏身的位置逃走，我们再想找到它就要花费更多的时间了。”
“现在我比较担心的是，那只蛤蟆没有得手，他会不会进行第二次第三次意志降临。 如果是这样的话，会严重影响到我清理兽群的速度。”
林煌眉头微皱，“况且有了第一次被我干掉的教训，我再想杀它第二次第三次，恐怕要花费更多的时间了。”
“这个主人不用担心，意志降临这种秘术是有限制的，短时间内它没有办法使用第二次。 主人大可放心的清理兽群。”
血色很清楚意志降临这种秘术，每次使用间隔必须在二十四小时以上。 “但我总觉得，它不会就此善罢甘休。”
“他要是想进行第二次袭击，就只能本尊降临了。” 血色笑道。
林煌摇了摇头，将杂念甩出了脑袋，开始全身心地投入兽群的清理工作。 他的击杀效率很快再次提升上来，恢复了推土机的本色之后，林煌所过之处，半径三十米的范围之内，没有一具完整的尸体。 数千米外的另外一处战场之上，司空见和臧兵两人正携带着众多工作人员，疯狂屠戮着一千多只圣火境怪物。
只用了二十分钟左右，一千多只超凡怪物就被清理干净，三百多名超凡立即朝着兽群所在的方向赶来支援。 在臧兵他们与超凡怪物的战斗接近尾声的时候，血色就已经提醒了林煌，林煌也立即将兰斯洛和血袍骨灵收回为卡牌状态。 而血色自己，也将一万多只怪物体内的寄生种子散去。
臧兵他们赶来的时候，并没有发现任何异常，只是暗自庆幸大家撑下来了。 不少人也看到兽群中央的大量兽尸，还有站在兽尸堆里满身血污的林煌，大家都瞬间明白过来，如果没有林煌，这边的战场可能早就被打崩了。
这一天下来，他对林煌已经不能再满意了。 连司空见都忍不住调侃，问他是不是准备把自己女儿嫁给林煌。 “林煌，你没事吧？”
伊夜语虽然平时大大咧咧地，但毕竟是女孩，很快注意到了林煌情绪有些低落。
“没事，就是有些累了。” 林煌笑着摇了摇头，有些事情，他只能暂时保密。
“那你好好休息一下吧。” 伊夜语的第六感在告诉她，林煌有事隐瞒，但她没有追问，只是简单的安慰了一句。
林煌点了点头，便找了一处位置盘坐下来，开始闭上眼睛恢复体力。 之前有兰斯洛和血袍骨灵帮忙补充命能，他的命能几乎没什么损耗，只是体力损耗不小。
近两万公里之外的一座灵能火山里，黄金蛤蟆面色阴沉地看完了整场战争。
“十万怪物不够，那我就堆一百万，一千名圣火境不够，那我就派一万。 我就不信，你们区区几百人能够将我们这个世界屠尽了！”
深夜，皎洁的月色之下，一座巨型火山的火山口处坐着一名少女。 那名少女看上去只有十三四岁的模样，穿着一身明显是定制尺寸的暗绿色军装，此刻正面带愁容，自言自语地说着什么。 从中午到现在十点多，罗莉花了十个多小时的时间，已经跑了无数个位置。
不过，没有一只怪物知道，那只黄金蛤蟆到底躲去了哪里。 她甚至将联盟政府提供的完整地图上，所有大型灵能火山，岩浆湖泊，还有岩浆河流都找了个遍，却始终一无所获。 “咦，那边的怪物是什么情况？
“不行，我得告诉臧兵他们。” 罗莉连忙取出了传音螺。
上万公里之外，正闭着眼睛休息的林煌突然睁开了双眼，但他的眼中闪过一抹忧虑。 只因为他刚刚听到了一则血色传递过来的消息——最终的兽潮彻底爆发了！

Chapter 348 The Revenge of the Golden Toad
The Golden Toad did not expect that its furious roar would reveal its location. Bloody’s leech pods had spent more than nine hours without finding any clue of the Golden Toad but the roar was heard by an Exploding Ladybird with a leech pod. Following the roar, the Exploding Ladybird soon found the volcano and confirmed that the Golden Toad was hiding in it.
"Does this Golden Toad have any long-distance monitoring ability?" As soon as Lin Huang got the Golden Toad’s location, he asked Bloody as he continued fighting the monsters.
"Yes, all Golden Toads are born with eyes on their backs. The eyes come with a variety of skills including hypnosis, monitoring, and illusion-type abilities. They can even learn new skills on their own," Bloody explained.
"We must have been monitored by it since the beginning," Bloody added.
"It seems like we shouldn’t tell anyone about its location at the moment. Let’s tell Luo Li straightaway when she gets back to avoid the Golden Toad from finding out that its location has been revealed and escaping." Lin Huang decided to keep the news to himself when he found out that they were being monitored.
"I think so too," Bloody agreed.
"If the news gets out, it’ll definitely run away and we’ll need to spend more time to look for it."
"My concern is that since the Golden Toad didn’t manage to get what it wants, it might extend its Will for the second and third time. If that happens, that will affect the speed I'm killing monsters at." Lin Huang frowned.
"Moreover, since it was defeated by me once, it will take more time to kill it if there’s a second and third time."
"Master, you don’t have to worry about this as such a skill is limited. It won’t be able to do it the second time in such a short period of time. Master, you can kill the monsters without worrying about it." Bloody knew very well about the secret skill of its Will. Each time it activated it, there would be a 24 hour cooldown period.
"But I think it won’t give it up just like that." Lin Huang thought that the Golden Toad’s persistence for the God's Blood would not just end like this.
"If it wants to attack for the second time, it would have to come here itself." Bloody smiled.
Lin Huang shook his head to get the thoughts out of his head while focusing on killing the monsters. His efficiency had peaked again in his bulldozer mode. All the monsters within 30 meters were killed. Meanwhile, on the battlefield thousands of meters away, Si Kongjian and Zang Bing were leading many of the staff to slay more than 1,000 holy fire-level monsters. Although they were fewer humans than monsters, their strength was much more powerful than this bunch of holy fire-level monsters. Especially since Zang Bing and Si Kongjian were both gold flame-level, while there were only two purple flame-level monsters among them. The humans were winning.
They managed to kill more than 1,000 Transcendent monsters around 20 minutes. More than 300 Transcendent humans were heading towards the monster horde to send help. As Zang Bing and the rest were almost done with the Transcendent monsters, Bloody reminded Lin Huang to recall Lancelot and the Sanguine Skeleton Spirit into their card forms while Bloody released all the leech pods that it had cast within the 10,000 monsters.
As Zang Bing and the rest arrived, they did not find anything odd. There were just glad that everybody had made it. Many of them saw the monster carcasses and Lin Huang with blood stains standing among the dead bodies. They realized that they would have lost without Lin Huang. Since Zang Bing and the rest came to help, the 10,000 monsters were killed in an instant.
"Great job, Lin Huang!" As soon as the battle ended, Zang Bing walked to Lin Huang and patted his shoulder. He was satisfied with Lin Huang’s performance these days. Even Si Kongjian could not help himself but tease Zang Bing to get Lin Huang to marry his daughter.
"Lin Huang, are you alright?" Although Yi Yeyu was usually obnoxious, she was a girl after all and she soon noticed that Lin Huang was feeling down.
"Nothing, I’m just tired." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head, wanting to keep the secret.
"Take a good rest then." Her sixth sense told her that Lin Huang was hiding something from her but she did not ask further.
Lin Huang nodded and sat down while he closed his eyes to recover his strength. With Lancelot and the Sanguine Skeleton Spirit’s help, he did not lose much Life Power but his strength was drained.
In a spiritual volcano 20,000 kilometers away, the Golden Toad was solemn as it watched the entire battle.
"If 10,000 monsters are not enough, I shall give you a million monsters. If 1,000 holy fire-level monsters are not enough, I shall give you 10,000 of them. I don’t believe that a couple of hundred of you can kill everyone in this world!"
It was late at night. A lady was sitting next to a gigantic volcano crater under the bright moonlight. She seemed to be only 13 or 14 years of age and was wearing a dark green military uniform that was clearly custom made. She was upset as she mumbled to herself, "What should I do? I’ve already looked everywhere I know but I just can’t locate that damned toad… If this persists, I’ll have to stop the training…"
Since noon until 10 p.m., Luo Li had spent more than ten hours at many locations including the hiding place of the three overlord-rank monsters. She had searched up and down but she still could not find the Golden Toad. The only thing she had retrieved from followers of the overlord-rank monsters was that the Molten Dragon and Shadowflame Boa were really dead. However, none of the monsters knew where the Golden Toad was. She even went to all big spiritual volcanoes, lava lakes and lava rivers that were starred on the map that was provided by the Union Government but she found nothing.
"Oh no, I must tell Zang Bing and the rest!" Luo Li took out her Transmission Snail immediately.
Thousands of meters away, Lin Huang, who was resting, opened his eyes suddenly. He was concerned as he heard news from Bloody. The final monster horde was arriving!

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Chapter 148\nThe debate on whether or not to dig for the Gaoling Mausoleum of Anyang was still ongoing. Xu Tingsheng actually didn't really care much about this, because he knew that the truth would surely come to light one day. It would be in a few years at most that those villagers would discover abnormalities with their drains. At that time, all of it would simply naturally play out.\nCurrently having finished 'throwing the firecracker and running', Uncle instead became the one who was least concerned about the matter.\nYet, it seemed like he really shouldn't do that anymore. Any more of this and he would land himself a 'Digging God' title or a 'Point Where Dig Where Xu Tingsheng' nickname. In that case, his life would really be running off on an unwanted trajectory.\nThe current situation was that he had already 'entered the limelight'. This being so, he couldn't have gone in for no reason. He would make use of this chance to immediately initiate Hucheng's expansion, bringing Hucheng's Nine Cities expansion plan into immediate implementation.\nThus, it was at the peak of such upheaval that Xu Tingsheng returned to Yanzhou University via bus along with his teammates. He got off prior to the entrance of Xishan Academy City and walked over to the riverside residence. There, he unexpectedly found everyone of Hucheng waiting for him downstairs.\nApplause resounded upon his arrival.\nSeven days ago, Hucheng had been teetering on the brink of collapse amidst a great storm. Xu Tingsheng had drawn the bow and left. Seven days later, Hucheng was out of its crisis having risen to new heights…and Xu Tingsheng who had been out hiding for so long was finally willing to return.\nAs the applause gradually drew to a close, Lu Zhixin came over and briefly explained a few things:\n\"Zhang Xingke and Management Head Zhao are at each other's necks. For that,we can just watch and see first.\"\n\"We've already recruited quite a few technical and management personnel. The person you asked to make that idiom game has already sent the alpha version over. We’ve posted it, and also generally grasped the relevant data for the target cities…so, make good use of this chance. The Nine Cities plan can be initiated.\"\n\"I’ve really suffered this time. Thus, you owe me again. That’s two now. Don’t forget that.\"\nOld Wai added, \"Huang Keshen’s moved out. We really didn’t do anything at all, didn’t even touch him. Still, he isn’t having it good now. Everyone’s looking at him in a strange way, and even that girl's broken up with him…\"\nThat was karma. Xu Tingsheng relaxedly listened to all of it before continuing, \"Anything else? If there is, we should talk about it upstairs.\"\nAnd so he strode towards the staircase. Yet everyone else didn’t move an inch.\n\"What’s wrong?\" Xu Tingsheng asked in puzzlement.\nXu Tingsheng hadn’t the time to listen to Lu Zhixin continuing to ‘might think that'. He bolted up the stairs, got to the second floor and entered. Mr Xu was seated in the living room, and talking with him were Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing.\n\"Dad, you’re here?\" Xu Tingsheng asked.\nMr Xu tilted his head and looked at Xu Tingsheng for a moment before feigning surprise, \"CEO Xu, Hucheng Education’s CEO Xu! Does your Dad know that you’ve turned the whole world upside down like this?\"\nHuang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing were secretly laughing over by the side. Xu Tingsheng chased them out, explaining the recent situation to Mr Xu in earnest. He also explained how Hucheng had come to be as well as its upcoming developmental plans.\n\"Such a huge scale?!\" Mr Xu was amazed, \"Where did your funds for this come from?\"\n\"There’s some income that Fu Cheng and I have been making over time from the ringtone business. Then, the money this time mainly came from a loan that a business partner helped to obtain,\" Xu Tingsheng explained Fang Chen’s position in Hucheng as well as the obtaining of the loan.\nMr Xu pondered for a long time before patting his son on the shoulder, \"Tingsheng…Dad hasn’t been able to help you, instead only having held you back.\"\n\"Dad, don’t be like this. Any more of this and I really will have to cry,\" Xu Tingsheng wanted to smile, yet his expression gradually turned unnatural as he remembered that such words had also been spoken by Mr Xu in his previous life.\n\"Two months. Two more months and Dad can help you with at least 3 million,\" Mr Xu smiled.\n\"The expansion of Happy Shoppers won’t be stopping, right?\" Xu Tingsheng asked seriously.\n\"It won’t. Still, it’s like I said before. There are so many counties in Jianhai, so many counties in the entire nation. It’s not like we can open supermarkets in all of them, right? Thus, I lured over two management personnel of large scale supermarkets a while back. Happy Shoppers intends to start a franchise.\"\nStarting a franchise was something that Hucheng would definitely have to do sooner or later. While it could bring them benefits, it could also bring about many problems. This time, Happy Shoppers seemed to be moving a little prematurely again.\n\"Next question,\" Mr Xu suddenly smiled meaningfully as he looked at his son.\n\"Uh oh, the food's here! How about we eat first? We can drink some wine,\" Xu Tingsheng exaggeratedly ventured.\nMr Xu ignored his diverting of the topic, asking directly, \"Who’s that Miss Lu?\"\n\"Colleague, business partner.\"\n\"She stays here?\"\n\"I don’t stay here.\"\n\"Is that so,\" Mr Xu thought about it, \"Fine, I believe you. Let’s go eat then.\"\nXu Tingsheng hurriedly nodded, going outside and calling Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing in. He thought for a moment before going downstairs to look for Zhong Wusheng and see if he was free to eat together with them.\nFang Yuqing pulled Xu Tingsheng to the side, whispering, \"They're arguing.\"\n\"Bro Zhong and Sis Jia, arguing? That can't be, right?\"\nFrom what Xu Tingsheng knew, Zhong Wusheng and Tao Jiaxiu were an exceptionally loving pair that surpassed even model couples. Zhong Wusheng doted on Tao Jiaxiu as a man would his wife, while Tao Jiaxiu cared about Zhong Wusheng like a big sister. Things between the two were usually so corny that the singleton, Xu Tingsheng, sometimes dared not even watch them.\nThey actually argued as well?\n\"I've definitely got to take a look then.\"\nCompletely ignoring Fang Yuqing’s attempt to block him, Xu Tingsheng headed downstairs. Having been busy recently, he was actually unfamiliar with how Zhong Wusheng and Tao Jiaxiu had recently been doing. The more this was so, the more he felt worried that they might have met with difficulties.\nAfter standing outside the door for a while and hearing nothing, Xu Tingsheng carefully tried knocking. It was Tao Jiaxiu who opened the door. Sis Jia had clearly just cried as there were tearstains below her reddened eyes.\n\"Oh, it’s Lil' Xu. Come in,\" Tao Jiaxiu said hoarsely.\n\"Thanks, Sis Jia,\" Entering the room and seeing Zhong Wusheng sitting by a corner of the table with his back to him, Xu Tingsheng called out, \"Bro Zhong, you haven’t had dinner yet, right?\"\nStrangely enough, whilst knowing that Xu Tingsheng had come, Zhong Wusheng didn’t even glance back at him as he simply grunted in the affirmative before adding, \"Sit.\"\nXu Tingsheng could only find a stool and sit down. Still, the atmosphere was awkward, the silence in the room overly stifling.\n\"Sis Jia, how has business been recently?\" Xu Tingsheng fumbled to find a topic.\n\"I, I’m not running it anymore. The two stalls were both sold away by him,\" Tao Jiaxiu said in a bit of a plaintive tone.\nTaken aback, Xu Tingsheng asked Zhong Wusheng who was still facing away from him, \"Bro Zhong, what’s all this? Wasn’t Sis Jia’s store doing rather well?\"\nZhong Wusheng was silent for a while before he said gruffly, \"Your Sis is pregnant. I’m afraid that it might be bad for her body if she runs the store every day.\"\nFirstly, this was a piece of good news, and Xu Tingsheng was very happy for them. At the same time, he also understood where the problem lay. Already being thirty-six years old, Tao Jiaxiu was definitely at a higher risk as a pregnant woman…be it out of his concern towards her and their child or his pride as a man, Zhong Wusheng could not allow her to continue running her stall and tiring herself out every day.\nHowever, this would inevitably lead to the problem of financial hardship for the both of them. Even if they could tide things through for the time being, they still had to make preparations for their future child.\n\"Congratulations, Bro Zhong, Sis Jia,\" Xu Tingsheng smiled, \"What’s Bro Zhong working as now then?\"\nZhong Wusheng didn’t answer, while Tao Jiaxiu fumed for a while before angrily replying, \"Ask him to turn around and show you. See if he dares.\"\nSo the problem lay with Zhong Wusheng. Xu Tingsheng thought that it was no wonder that he had been facing away from him. Xu Tingsheng stood up and walked over to face Zhong Wusheng. Zhong Wusheng hastily lowered his head, wanting to evade his gaze, but Xu Tingsheng had already seen his face that was riddled with wounds. There was a bandage on his nose while the corners of his eyes and his mouth had already split apart. Many large blue-blackish patches also adorned his face.\n\"This…Bro Zhong, what happened to you?\" Afraid that some accident had befallen Zhong Wusheng, Xu Tingsheng asked panickedly.\nShaking her head, she sniffled, \"He, in that bar, in an iron cage…underground fighting. It was one versus one at first, and they gave him four hundred yuan for each round. After seeing that he's strong, they proposed fighting three or five versus one, giving him eight hundred, one thousand per round. He fought them all…those people have also trained before. And so he, he ended up like this.\"\n\"He’s already like this, but he still wants to go. I can’t persuade him not to. Lil' Xu, help Sis to persuade him. I’m scared that…\"\nTao Jiaxiu began weeping even more intensely, with even her breathing coming in ragged sobs. Xu Tingsheng brought his hand down in a sweeping motion, signalling for her to calm down.\nThat Zhong Wusheng was participating in underground fighting indeed rather exceeded Xu Tingsheng’s expectations. Reality was not like in the movies. There shouldn’t be one of those underground betting arenas in Yanzhou where money was waved about as easily as feathers. However, Xu Tingsheng had indeed heard of battling in iron cages in bars in his previous life before. In the year 2015, a bar in Chongqing had been reported on by the media due to such a phenomenon. Also, it seemed not to have been criticised as an illegal practice.\nXu Tingsheng had just been pondering on how to speak to Zhong Wusheng about it when he himself first spoke, saying in a rather desolate tone, \"Bro, you don’t understand. I’m not like you guys. You are cultured, have brains, but I don’t…I’m uncultured, and also don’t have any other abilities…I want to earn more money, want your Sis and our child to be able to live a little better. I really couldn’t find a better way.\"\nXu Tingsheng could empathise with Zhong Wusheng's actions. This man of iron was fighting for the one he loved in the most ‘iron-blooded' way, giving everything he had in order to bear his responsibility as a man. That was indeed worthy of respect.\nHowever, understanding did not entail agreement and approval.\n\"Therefore, you don’t know that pregnant women cannot worry, cannot cry, cannot argue and cannot be emotional…right? If you come back with this sort of face every day, what do you want Sis Jia to do? And the child as well, aren’t you worried about the child in Sis Jia's belly?\" Xu Tingsheng asked in mock indignation.\n\"I…\" Zhong Wusheng began panicking, but was unable to speak for a long time as Xu Tingsheng’s words had clearly left him feeling afraid.\nXu Tingsheng shot Sis Jia a look, mouthing toward her, \"Leave it to me.\"\nThen, he turned towards Zhong Wusheng and said in a friendlier tone, \"Bro Zhong, my Dad’s come over today. We’d like you to eat with us. Let's talk as we eat, okay?\"\nZhong Wusheng hesitated for a moment before nodding, \"Okay.\""

安阳高陵现在到底挖不挖，争议是不是持续存在，许庭生其实并不那么在乎，因为真相迟早会有揭开的一天。 大不了再等几年，那些村民就该发现引水渠的异常了，到时一切都会自然而然的发生。
现在，点完“炮仗”撒腿就跑的大叔，反而成了最不关心这件事的一个。
但是，似乎不好再去说了，再说的话，以后落一个“挖神”的称号，或者“指哪挖哪许庭生”的江湖诨号，他的人生好像就要“跑偏”了。
眼下的情况是，“风头”已经出了，那就不能白出，趁这个机会，互诚的扩张计划必须马上展开，九城同启计划必须立即执行。
所以，风口浪尖上，许庭生跟随球队大巴一起回到了岩大。 许庭生在大学城入口提前下车，走到河岸民居楼下，意外的发现互诚的一群人都等在那里。
见许庭生出现，掌声响起。
7天前，互诚风雨飘摇，摇摇欲坠，许庭生挽弓而去。 7天后，互诚安度危机，更上层楼，……躲了那么多天的许庭生，终于舍得回来了。
“别闹，别闹。” 许庭生满脸尴尬的招呼道。
“张兴科和赵科长自己掐起来了，我们可以先看看再说。”
“技术人员和审核人员已经招了不少，你找人做的成语通关游戏第一个试用版也已经发过来，挂上去了，目标城市的相关数据也抓得差不多了……总之，抓住时机，九城同启计划可以开始了。”
“这次我委屈大了，所以，你又欠我一个人情，加起来两个了，你要记得。”
老歪也上来说了一件事：“黄可升自己搬出去了，我们真的什么都没干，没动过他，甚至没说过他。
诸事皆有其归，许庭生放松的逐一应过，接着道：“还有事？ 还有事咱们上去再说吧。”
说完，许庭生率先往楼梯上走，但是其他所有人，都分毫不动。
“怎么了？” 许庭生疑惑的问道。
许庭生没空等陆芷欣“以为”下去了，箭步上楼，到了二楼推门一看，许爸正坐在客厅里，在一旁陪着说话的还有黄亚明、付诚、方余庆。
“爸，你怎么来了？” 许庭生问道。
许爸侧头看了许庭生一会儿，假作惊讶道：“许总，互诚教育许总，你闹得这么天翻地覆的，你爸爸知道吗？”
黄亚明、付诚、方余庆三个在一边偷笑。 许庭生把他们赶出去，很认真的跟许爸解释了自己最近的情况，以及创建互诚的历程，接下来的发展规划。
！” 许爸有点诧异，“你本钱哪里来的？”
“我和付诚做的彩铃那边持续有一些收入，然后这一次，主要是合伙人帮忙弄了一些贷款。” 许庭生解释了方橙在互诚的身份，和借贷的情况。
许爸沉吟许久，拍了拍许庭生肩头说：“庭生……老爸没帮上你，反而拖累你了。”
“爸，你别这么说，你再说，我该哭了。” 许庭生想给出笑容，但是表情却渐渐不自然起来，前世，许爸就说过这样的话。
“两个月吧，两个月后，老爸这边可以帮你至少300万。” 许爸笑着说。
“欢购的发展不能停吧？” 许庭生认真说道。
“不停。 不过就像我以前说的，渐海那么多县市，全国那么多县市，我们不可能都开过去吧？ 所以，我前段时间挖了两个大型超市的运营管理，欢购打算开放加盟了。”
许爸说。 开放加盟是欢购发展必然要经历的一步，它会带来利益，也可能会带来很多问题。 这一次，欢购的步伐又有些超前了。
“说下一个问题。” 许爸突然意味深长的笑了笑，看着许庭生说。
“哎呀，饭点到了，先吃饭吧？
许爸根本不搭这茬，直接道：“那个陆姑娘是？”
“同事，创业伙伴。”
“她住这？”
“我不住这。”
“是这样啊”，许爸想了想，说：“那行，我信了。 吃饭去吧。”
许庭生忙不迭的点头，出门招呼了黄亚明、付诚、方余庆，想了想，又下楼去找钟武胜，想看他有没有时间一起吃饭。
方余庆拉了拉许庭生，低声说：“在吵架。”
“吵架，钟哥和佳姐？ 不可能吧？”
在许庭生的印象中，钟武胜和陶佳秀属于特别恩爱的一对，比之模范夫妻更有过之，钟武胜从男人的角度宠爱着陶佳秀，陶佳秀则从姐姐的角度关爱着钟武胜，两个人平日里腻得许庭生这个单身汉都有点不敢看。
他们居然也会吵架？
“那我更得看看去了。”
许庭生说完不顾方余庆的阻拦，往楼下走去。 这段时间因为忙碌的原因，他对钟武胜和陶佳秀的生活其实一点都不了解，越是这样，许庭生越担心他们遇上了难处。
站在门外听了一会没声响，许庭生小心翼翼的敲了敲门，开门的是陶佳秀，佳姐显然刚刚哭过，脸上有泪痕，眼睛发红。
“小许啊，进来坐。” 陶佳秀哑着嗓子说。
“谢谢佳姐。” 许庭生进屋，见钟武胜背身坐在桌角，喊了一声：“钟哥，晚饭还没吃吧？”
奇怪的，钟武胜知道许庭生来了，也不回头，闷声“嗯”了一声，说：“你坐。”
许庭生只好自己找了张凳子坐下，但是气氛尴尬，房间里沉默得有些过分。
“佳姐，最近生意怎么样？”
许庭生没话找话道。 “我，我没做了，两个摊位，都被他转掉了。” 陶佳秀带着几分诉苦的意思说道。
许庭生愣了愣，向依旧背对自己的钟武胜问道：“钟哥，这是怎么回事啊？ 佳姐那个摊位好像生意还不错吧？”
钟武胜沉默了一会，低声快速说：“你姐怀孕了，我怕她每天出摊身体吃不消。”
首先，这是一个好消息，许庭生很替两人开心。 同时，他也大概明白问题在哪了，陶佳秀已经36岁了，属于绝对的高龄产妇……钟武胜出于对她和孩子的关心也好，出于男人的自尊也好，都不可能让她继续每天出摊、操劳。
但是，这样又会带来另一个问题，钟陶两人不可避免的会陷入经济困境，哪怕眼下过得下去，他们还要为未来孩子出生做储备。
“恭喜钟哥、佳姐”，许庭生笑着说，“那钟哥现在做什么工作？”
钟武胜不说话，陶佳秀忍了一会，带着气愤开口说：“你让他转过来你看看，你看他敢不敢。”
问题出在钟武胜身上，许庭生心说难怪他一直背着身呢。 许庭生直接站起来，走过去，绕到钟武胜正面看了看，钟武胜低头想躲，但是许庭生已经看到了他满脸的伤痕，鼻梁上贴着纱布，眉角、嘴角，都已经开裂，还有整片整片的淤青。
“这……钟哥，你出什么事了？” 许庭生以为钟武胜出了什么意外，焦急的问道。
“他……他在那个酒吧，铁笼里……打黑拳。 刚开始一个打一个，他们给他400块一场，后来他们看他能打，就提出来3个打1个，5个打1个，给他八百、一千一场，他都打……那些人也是练过的，他，他就成这样了。
他都这样了，他还要去，我劝又劝不住。
陶佳秀说完泪水流得更急，甚至连呼吸都有些困难，许庭生冲陶佳秀点了点头，又伸手压了压，示意她缓和一下情绪。
钟武胜打黑拳，这件事确实有些出乎许庭生的意料。 现实不像电影，岩州应该没有电影里那种挥金如土的地下黑拳赌场，但是酒吧铁笼格斗，许庭生前世还是听说过的，2015年重庆的一家酒吧就因为铁笼格斗被媒体报道过，而且似乎并没有作为违法事件来批判。
许庭生正在思考怎么跟钟武胜开口，钟武胜先说话了，他有些低落的说：“兄弟，你不懂，我不像你们，你们有文化，有脑子，我没有……我没文化，也没别的本事……我想多赚点钱，想让你姐和孩子能过得好一点，真的找不到别的办法。”
许庭生能理解钟武胜的做法，这个铁骨铮铮的男人在用最“铁血”的方式为他爱的人拼搏，拼劲一切承担起他作为一个男人的责任，令人敬服。
但是，理解不等于认同和赞成。
“所以，你不知道孕妇不能担心，不能哭，不能吵架不能激动……是吧？ 你每天顶着这样一张脸回来，你让佳姐怎么办？ 还有孩子，你就不担心佳姐肚子里的孩子？”
“我……”钟武胜也开始着急起来，但是迟迟说不出话，很显然，许庭生的话让他害怕了。
许庭生冲佳姐使了个眼色，用唇语说：“交给我。”
而后，他转向钟武胜，缓和了语气说：“钟哥，今天我爸过来了，想叫你一起吃饭。 你看，我们出去边吃边说，行不行？”
钟武胜犹豫了一会，点头说：“行。”

Chapter 148
The debate on whether or not to dig for the Gaoling Mausoleum of Anyang was still ongoing. Xu Tingsheng actually didn't really care much about this, because he knew that the truth would surely come to light one day. It would be in a few years at most that those villagers would discover abnormalities with their drains. At that time, all of it would simply naturally play out.
Currently having finished 'throwing the firecracker and running', Uncle instead became the one who was least concerned about the matter.
Yet, it seemed like he really shouldn't do that anymore. Any more of this and he would land himself a 'Digging God' title or a 'Point Where Dig Where Xu Tingsheng' nickname. In that case, his life would really be running off on an unwanted trajectory.
The current situation was that he had already 'entered the limelight'. This being so, he couldn't have gone in for no reason. He would make use of this chance to immediately initiate Hucheng's expansion, bringing Hucheng's Nine Cities expansion plan into immediate implementation.
Thus, it was at the peak of such upheaval that Xu Tingsheng returned to Yanzhou University via bus along with his teammates. He got off prior to the entrance of Xishan Academy City and walked over to the riverside residence. There, he unexpectedly found everyone of Hucheng waiting for him downstairs.
Applause resounded upon his arrival.
Seven days ago, Hucheng had been teetering on the brink of collapse amidst a great storm. Xu Tingsheng had drawn the bow and left. Seven days later, Hucheng was out of its crisis having risen to new heights…and Xu Tingsheng who had been out hiding for so long was finally willing to return.
As the applause gradually drew to a close, Lu Zhixin came over and briefly explained a few things:
"Zhang Xingke and Management Head Zhao are at each other's necks. For that,we can just watch and see first."
"We've already recruited quite a few technical and management personnel. The person you asked to make that idiom game has already sent the alpha version over. We’ve posted it, and also generally grasped the relevant data for the target cities…so, make good use of this chance. The Nine Cities plan can be initiated."
"I’ve really suffered this time. Thus, you owe me again. That’s two now. Don’t forget that."
Old Wai added, "Huang Keshen’s moved out. We really didn’t do anything at all, didn’t even touch him. Still, he isn’t having it good now. Everyone’s looking at him in a strange way, and even that girl's broken up with him…"
That was karma. Xu Tingsheng relaxedly listened to all of it before continuing, "Anything else? If there is, we should talk about it upstairs."
And so he strode towards the staircase. Yet everyone else didn’t move an inch.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Tingsheng asked in puzzlement.
Xu Tingsheng hadn’t the time to listen to Lu Zhixin continuing to ‘might think that'. He bolted up the stairs, got to the second floor and entered. Mr Xu was seated in the living room, and talking with him were Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing.
"Dad, you’re here?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
Mr Xu tilted his head and looked at Xu Tingsheng for a moment before feigning surprise, "CEO Xu, Hucheng Education’s CEO Xu! Does your Dad know that you’ve turned the whole world upside down like this?"
Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing were secretly laughing over by the side. Xu Tingsheng chased them out, explaining the recent situation to Mr Xu in earnest. He also explained how Hucheng had come to be as well as its upcoming developmental plans.
"Such a huge scale?!" Mr Xu was amazed, "Where did your funds for this come from?"
"There’s some income that Fu Cheng and I have been making over time from the ringtone business. Then, the money this time mainly came from a loan that a business partner helped to obtain," Xu Tingsheng explained Fang Chen’s position in Hucheng as well as the obtaining of the loan.
Mr Xu pondered for a long time before patting his son on the shoulder, "Tingsheng…Dad hasn’t been able to help you, instead only having held you back."
"Dad, don’t be like this. Any more of this and I really will have to cry," Xu Tingsheng wanted to smile, yet his expression gradually turned unnatural as he remembered that such words had also been spoken by Mr Xu in his previous life.
"Two months. Two more months and Dad can help you with at least 3 million," Mr Xu smiled.
"The expansion of Happy Shoppers won’t be stopping, right?" Xu Tingsheng asked seriously.
"It won’t. Still, it’s like I said before. There are so many counties in Jianhai, so many counties in the entire nation. It’s not like we can open supermarkets in all of them, right? Thus, I lured over two management personnel of large scale supermarkets a while back. Happy Shoppers intends to start a franchise."
Starting a franchise was something that Hucheng would definitely have to do sooner or later. While it could bring them benefits, it could also bring about many problems. This time, Happy Shoppers seemed to be moving a little prematurely again.
"Next question," Mr Xu suddenly smiled meaningfully as he looked at his son.
"Uh oh, the food's here! How about we eat first? We can drink some wine," Xu Tingsheng exaggeratedly ventured.
Mr Xu ignored his diverting of the topic, asking directly, "Who’s that Miss Lu?"
"Colleague, business partner."
"She stays here?"
"I don’t stay here."
"Is that so," Mr Xu thought about it, "Fine, I believe you. Let’s go eat then."
Xu Tingsheng hurriedly nodded, going outside and calling Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and Fang Yuqing in. He thought for a moment before going downstairs to look for Zhong Wusheng and see if he was free to eat together with them.
Fang Yuqing pulled Xu Tingsheng to the side, whispering, "They're arguing."
"Bro Zhong and Sis Jia, arguing? That can't be, right?"
From what Xu Tingsheng knew, Zhong Wusheng and Tao Jiaxiu were an exceptionally loving pair that surpassed even model couples. Zhong Wusheng doted on Tao Jiaxiu as a man would his wife, while Tao Jiaxiu cared about Zhong Wusheng like a big sister. Things between the two were usually so corny that the singleton, Xu Tingsheng, sometimes dared not even watch them.
They actually argued as well?
"I've definitely got to take a look then."
Completely ignoring Fang Yuqing’s attempt to block him, Xu Tingsheng headed downstairs. Having been busy recently, he was actually unfamiliar with how Zhong Wusheng and Tao Jiaxiu had recently been doing. The more this was so, the more he felt worried that they might have met with difficulties.
After standing outside the door for a while and hearing nothing, Xu Tingsheng carefully tried knocking. It was Tao Jiaxiu who opened the door. Sis Jia had clearly just cried as there were tearstains below her reddened eyes.
"Oh, it’s Lil' Xu. Come in," Tao Jiaxiu said hoarsely.
"Thanks, Sis Jia," Entering the room and seeing Zhong Wusheng sitting by a corner of the table with his back to him, Xu Tingsheng called out, "Bro Zhong, you haven’t had dinner yet, right?"
Strangely enough, whilst knowing that Xu Tingsheng had come, Zhong Wusheng didn’t even glance back at him as he simply grunted in the affirmative before adding, "Sit."
Xu Tingsheng could only find a stool and sit down. Still, the atmosphere was awkward, the silence in the room overly stifling.
"Sis Jia, how has business been recently?" Xu Tingsheng fumbled to find a topic.
"I, I’m not running it anymore. The two stalls were both sold away by him," Tao Jiaxiu said in a bit of a plaintive tone.
Taken aback, Xu Tingsheng asked Zhong Wusheng who was still facing away from him, "Bro Zhong, what’s all this? Wasn’t Sis Jia’s store doing rather well?"
Zhong Wusheng was silent for a while before he said gruffly, "Your Sis is pregnant. I’m afraid that it might be bad for her body if she runs the store every day."
Firstly, this was a piece of good news, and Xu Tingsheng was very happy for them. At the same time, he also understood where the problem lay. Already being thirty-six years old, Tao Jiaxiu was definitely at a higher risk as a pregnant woman…be it out of his concern towards her and their child or his pride as a man, Zhong Wusheng could not allow her to continue running her stall and tiring herself out every day.
However, this would inevitably lead to the problem of financial hardship for the both of them. Even if they could tide things through for the time being, they still had to make preparations for their future child.
"Congratulations, Bro Zhong, Sis Jia," Xu Tingsheng smiled, "What’s Bro Zhong working as now then?"
Zhong Wusheng didn’t answer, while Tao Jiaxiu fumed for a while before angrily replying, "Ask him to turn around and show you. See if he dares."
So the problem lay with Zhong Wusheng. Xu Tingsheng thought that it was no wonder that he had been facing away from him. Xu Tingsheng stood up and walked over to face Zhong Wusheng. Zhong Wusheng hastily lowered his head, wanting to evade his gaze, but Xu Tingsheng had already seen his face that was riddled with wounds. There was a bandage on his nose while the corners of his eyes and his mouth had already split apart. Many large blue-blackish patches also adorned his face.
"This…Bro Zhong, what happened to you?" Afraid that some accident had befallen Zhong Wusheng, Xu Tingsheng asked panickedly.
Shaking her head, she sniffled, "He, in that bar, in an iron cage…underground fighting. It was one versus one at first, and they gave him four hundred yuan for each round. After seeing that he's strong, they proposed fighting three or five versus one, giving him eight hundred, one thousand per round. He fought them all…those people have also trained before. And so he, he ended up like this."
"He’s already like this, but he still wants to go. I can’t persuade him not to. Lil' Xu, help Sis to persuade him. I’m scared that…"
Tao Jiaxiu began weeping even more intensely, with even her breathing coming in ragged sobs. Xu Tingsheng brought his hand down in a sweeping motion, signalling for her to calm down.
That Zhong Wusheng was participating in underground fighting indeed rather exceeded Xu Tingsheng’s expectations. Reality was not like in the movies. There shouldn’t be one of those underground betting arenas in Yanzhou where money was waved about as easily as feathers. However, Xu Tingsheng had indeed heard of battling in iron cages in bars in his previous life before. In the year 2015, a bar in Chongqing had been reported on by the media due to such a phenomenon. Also, it seemed not to have been criticised as an illegal practice.
Xu Tingsheng had just been pondering on how to speak to Zhong Wusheng about it when he himself first spoke, saying in a rather desolate tone, "Bro, you don’t understand. I’m not like you guys. You are cultured, have brains, but I don’t…I’m uncultured, and also don’t have any other abilities…I want to earn more money, want your Sis and our child to be able to live a little better. I really couldn’t find a better way."
Xu Tingsheng could empathise with Zhong Wusheng's actions. This man of iron was fighting for the one he loved in the most ‘iron-blooded' way, giving everything he had in order to bear his responsibility as a man. That was indeed worthy of respect.
However, understanding did not entail agreement and approval.
"Therefore, you don’t know that pregnant women cannot worry, cannot cry, cannot argue and cannot be emotional…right? If you come back with this sort of face every day, what do you want Sis Jia to do? And the child as well, aren’t you worried about the child in Sis Jia's belly?" Xu Tingsheng asked in mock indignation.
"I…" Zhong Wusheng began panicking, but was unable to speak for a long time as Xu Tingsheng’s words had clearly left him feeling afraid.
Xu Tingsheng shot Sis Jia a look, mouthing toward her, "Leave it to me."
Then, he turned towards Zhong Wusheng and said in a friendlier tone, "Bro Zhong, my Dad’s come over today. We’d like you to eat with us. Let's talk as we eat, okay?"
Zhong Wusheng hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay."

"value": "Chapter 576: Breakthrough into Sage Small Perfection Realm!\nYe Xiwen swept his knife-like sharp gaze across those three men. However, it seemed from the look on their faces that they weren't reluctant to give up. They had fought to make their way here. Moreover, all three of them were outstanding geniuses of their generation. So, they weren't the kind that would be willing to give up like this.\nThe tenth seat had remained unoccupied till now. And, this was because none of them had been able to sweep it away so far since there was only a small difference between their strengths.\nYe Xiwen's slim figure looked exceptionally grand at this time. He had awed these outstanding heroes like a venerable overlord. He had killed three experts of Sage Accomplished realm after his arrival. In fact, one among them was a guardian. This had made everyone even more terrified and apprehensive.\nThose three men could see that Ye Xiwen was insanely powerful. Therefore, they had no choice but to withdraw even though they weren't willing to do so. None of them was sure that they could defeat Ye Xiwen. They were rivals of the same level. So, they might be able to defeat each other, but killing was out of the question. After all, which Sage Accomplished level expert didn't know a way or two to save their life? However, that tiger-demon beast had been effortlessly killed by Ye Xiwen. And, this had shaken them to their core. They had realized that they could also lose their lives if they continued to compete for the seat.\nYe Xiwen watched those three men retreat. Then, his figure swiftly reached beside the light pillar, and slipped inside it.\nAll ten seats had been occupied now. Rings of gentle light emitted from the top of the Great Gas Building, and enveloped all the ten seats as soon as Ye Xiwen entered the light pillar.\nEveryone looked at these 10 individuals with envy. They knew that each of these 10 individuals was going to obtain a heritage. But, these people didn't know what kind of heritage each of these individuals would get. However, it had to be incredible no matter what it would be…\nYe Xiwen felt as if a flower had blossomed before his eyes. Then, he suddenly found himself arriving inside an incomparably mysterious dark void. Countless luminous spots were littered across the entire space.\nThere were many luminous spots. Some of them were emitting dazzlingly bright rays of light, while some were emitting weak light. Some of them were twinkling brightly like the stars in a starry sky. On the other hand, some of them were dark like the dark stars in the universe; their brightness was too feeble to be visible.\n\"Is this the space where the heritage is? Then, all these luminous spots must be the heritages,\" Ye Xiwen quickly realized. These luminous spots might be various martial arts techniques. They could also be heavenly treasures that don't appear on normal days. They could also be sage tools… or maybe even Great Sage tools.\nYe Xiwen shot a glance across the entire void; it appeared like a huge galaxy. The luminous spots closer to the centre were the brightest as well as the biggest. In fact, it seemed that some of them had been dazzling since eternity.\nThe ones in the peripheral regions of the void appeared smaller. He saw and realized that it would be better if he moved closer to the inner regions of the void.\nHe didn't hesitate any further, and launched forward. He transformed into a streamer of light, and flew towards the centre. However, he was cautious as well. He was vigilant towards the other people who must've appeared here to receive their respective heritages. After all, they had also proven themselves after passing through many battles. And, they also possessed incredible power. But, he soon found out that he was alone in this big space. There was no one else. This cooled down his mind.\nHowever, he then realized that a tremendous force was pushing him outward, and was preventing him from going deeper. In fact, he felt as if a gigantic force was engulfing him with every step that he took to forge ahead.\nHe had managed to cover two-third of the void by now. However, he couldn't move even a step further towards the remaining one-third.\nHe was a bit stunned by this. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his strength was at the pinnacle of the sage realm. However, he had barely managed to cover two-third of the distance. Could it possible that only Great Sage experts could obtain the heritages here?\nHowever, this couldn't be the case because the people with strength above the sage realm weren't allowed at this place. This meant that the Great Sage experts weren't allowed to come here. So, this wasn't logical.\n\"Ye Xiwen!\" Ye Mo appeared beside Ye Xiwen with a scholar-like appearance. This scholar's face looked strange and demonic at the moment. It looked weird regardless of how one looked at it. \"This could be a big opportunity for you to break through to the Great Sage realm.\n\"It won't be an overstatement to say that this is a genuine treasure,\" Ye Mo glanced at the void before his eyes and said, \"Ye Xiwen, do you know the biggest difference between Great Sage realm and sage realm?\"\n\"Yes! Sage realm and Great Sage realm involve the process of a person's transformation. Sage realm involves the transformation of a person's body, and Great Sage realm involves transformation of their soul — thereby accomplishing the perfect transformation,\" Ye Xiwen naturally knew about these differences. One mustn't think that the difference between sage realm, Great Sage realm, and legendary realm wasn't very big. After all, there was a difference in the very essence of one's being between the three realms.\n\"That's right, it transforms the soul. That is hundred or thousand times more difficult than the transformation of body. This is why there are only a few Great Sage experts. It will be far more difficult for you to enter this realm than an ordinary person. After all, your soul is hundred times more congealed than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult to transform it,\" Ye Mo explained.\nYe Xiwen nodded. It would always be more difficult for him to make a breakthrough than an ordinary person… whether it was the body or the soul. However, this place could help him with his quest to level up. Therefore, it was impossible for him to give up on it.\n\"The coercive pressure here is the best way to sharpen your soul. I think you will complete the transformation of your soul if you manage to reach the central region. After that, making the breakthrough into half-step Great Sage realm would just be a matter of time.\"\nEverything became clear before Ye Xiwen's eyes as he heard this. He had been worrying over the difficulty of crossing the Great Sage realm's barrier. And, the most crucial thing for that was completing the transformation of soul.\n[Ye Mo's words seem very logical. I can use the coercion of this place to complete the transformation of my soul. And, this is perhaps the real treasure of the Great Gas Building!]\nYe Xiwen didn't hesitate any further, and stepped forward. However, he suddenly felt as if his soul was being suppressed. He felt as if some heavy object was pressing against his chest.\nThis coercion was invisible. However, it had caused an impact on the depths of his soul. This kind of coercion was similar to the pressure applied by a sage expert on a legendary expert. It wasn't affecting his body. Instead, it was directly exerting pressure on his soul, and this was even more dreadful. In fact, a formidable expert could make a weak expert lose the will and ability to fight solely depending upon this kind of suppressive force.\nHowever, it ultimately depends upon how strong the willpower is on both sides. Even a weak person can break the evils of the world with just a bellow if their willpower is strong enough.\nOrdinary souls simply wouldn't dare to get close to such a strong-willed person.\nFor instance... this coercion wouldn't work on those awe-inspiring ancient scholars whose minds were like mirrors. After all, their minds wouldn't allow any external afflictions to affect them.\nYe Xiwen didn't use his Real Elemental Energy because he knew that this coercion was only suppressing his soul. And, this meant that he couldn't resist it using his Real Elemental Energy.\nYe Xiwen could feel the coercion directly impacting his soul. A single step seemed like a great distance... as if he had to reach the edge of the world. Each step was like a natural moat that he must cross.\nHe didn't know how many times he had failed in taking this one step.\nTime passed gradually. An entire day had passed by the time he finally completed that step.\nHowever, this was only the first step of a big journey.\nHe had moved just one step forward. However, he felt as if his soul had transformed a bit. There were too few Great Sage experts in the space as compared to that on macrocosms like the True Martial World. This was because the transformation of soul required the supply of an enormous amount of external forces. So, one needed to draw support from the worldly forces. However, there were very few worldly principles in the space as compared to that in macrocosms. And, this was true for the powers of principles as well.\nTherefore, the number of Great Sage experts in the space was far less than that in macrocosms. Generally speaking, a person must choose some big world if they wanted to reach to the Great Sage realm. After all, the rate of success would be greatly improved if one did so.\nHowever, this coercion was tempering his soul instead of the usual power of worldly principles found in macrocosms. Every second and every minute felt like an eternity. However, he didn't slack even a bit. After all, Great Sage realm would be within his grasp if he managed to pass this trial.\nThis task became increasingly difficult as he went deeper. And, his pace decreased constantly as a result. Moreover, his movement also became stiffer. This coercion wasn't causing any impact on his body. However, it was still affecting his movement since it was suppressing the depths of his soul.\n\"Huff!\"\n\"Huff!\"\n\"Huff!\"\nYe Xiwen was unceasingly panting. He didn't know for how long he had been walking. It seemed like an eternity. Moreover, it was getting increasingly unbearable with every passing second.\nHe would get drenched in sweat, and then that sweat would get evaporated. Then, his entire body would get covered with sweat once again. This process continued unceasingly.\n\"Persevere!\"\n\"I must persevere!\" Ye Xiwen was unceasingly shouting in his mind. But, even his voice was getting somewhat muffled.\nThe unimaginable coercion was attacking Ye Xiwen's soul unceasingly. However, he didn't have any way to ponder over it as he had already fallen into a state of daze.\nThe weakness of soul leads to the weakening of the control over one's body to a great degree. The exhaustion of his soul had left Ye Xiwen to feel much more tired than how he would've felt with an exhausted body. Ye Xiwen used to regain his fighting prowess with the help of his incredible willpower whenever he got exhausted at a physical level. However, his exhaustion of his soul had made it difficult for him to obtain the willpower to fight back at this time.\nHe was gradually approaching the centre… step by step. And, it seemed that he was reincarnating with every step that he took. The closer he reached, the sturdier his soul became. However, he also had to face increasingly strong coercion as he progressed.\nHe could feel that his soul was almost ready to complete a kind of leap. Therefore, everything would go in vain if he gave up now. He must achieve the complete transformation.\nHe was only lacking by a little bit.\n\"I won't fall here!\" Ye Xiwen shouted. Every step was exceptionally difficult for him. However, it was also a brilliant opportunity to temper himself.\n\"Bang!\" It wasn't known how much time had passed when Ye Xiwen finally took the last step. But, a startling change occurred in his soul as a result. His 'Real Elemental Energy' began to boil rapidly like water. And, the imposing aura condensed on his body made a breakthrough within a split second.\nThis breakthrough was bound to happen. Ye Xiwen had previously believed that it would be very difficult to make the breakthrough into Sage Small Perfection realm. However, this breakthrough had happened by itself since his soul had been transformed over the course of this trial."

第五百七十六章
叶希文目光凌冽如刀，扫到三人的身上，三人的脸上露出几分不甘心的神色，一路厮杀到了这里，都是一代人杰，都不甘心就这样放弃。
第十个席位之所以到现在还没有尘埃落定，就是他们之中没有一个能够横扫的人物，彼此之间强弱差距相当有限。
叶希文削瘦的身影在这个时候显得异常的雄伟，犹如一尊霸王一般，震慑群雄，尤其是叶希文一上来，就连斩三尊圣境大圆满的高手，其中还有一个是守护者，更让所有人都心惊胆寒。
这些战绩给叶希文平添了几分风采。 三人见叶希文如此强势，即便有所不甘心也不能不退下，谁都没有把握能击败叶希文，作为同级别的对手，就算是能击败对方，要击杀对方也是千难万难，能修炼到圣境大圆满境界的高手，哪一个没有一些保命的手段，但是那一头虎妖兽在叶希文的面前，被摧枯拉朽一般斩杀，给了他们极大的震撼，如果他们继续争下去，可能会丧命。
见到三人退下，叶希文身形一闪，掠到了光柱旁边，跨入了光柱之中。
十个席位都已经有了归属，在叶希文跨入光柱的一瞬间，整个弘气楼上散发出一圈一圈柔和的光芒，将十个席位全部都笼罩进了其中。
所有人都羡慕的看着十人，知道他们将要得到传承，虽然不知道会得到什么样的传承，但是无论任何一种，拿出来，可能都是惊天动地的。
叶希文只觉得眼前一花，顿时出现在了一片奇黑无比的虚空之中，而在虚空中无数个光点密密麻麻的密布在整个空间之中。
光点有大有小，光芒有强有弱，有的便犹如是星空中的恒星，绽放灿烂的光芒，而有的，却犹如是宇宙之中的暗星，黑暗的几乎看不到的地步。
那么这些光点应该就是诸多传承了！” 叶希文立刻就想明白了，这些光点，可能是一部武学，也可能是什么平日里都见不到的天材地宝，也有可能是某一件圣器，甚至可能是大圣器。
叶希文一眼扫去，整个虚空之中，就像是一个巨大的星系，越是中央的那些光点就越是耀眼，越是庞大，有的甚至犹如恒心一般耀眼。
越是外围的那些就显得越小，他一看就明白，越是往里面的传承可能就越是好东西。
登时不再犹豫，展开身形，化作一道金色的流光，朝中央飞去，原本叶希文还要小心翼翼的，防备着其他可能出现在这里的接受传承的人，他们也都是经过了层层厮杀之后脱颖而出的，实力之强，自然不必说，但是很快他就发现，偌大的空间之中，竟然只有他一个人存在，没有其他人，这才放下了心。
不过他很快就发觉，越是往里面，就越是有一种巨力传来，将他往外推，甚至到后面每前进一步都会感觉有排山倒海一般的力量席卷过来。
而这个时候，叶希文也只是堪堪走到了整个虚空之中三分之二的位置，剩下的三分之一，就怎么都无法再靠近一步了。
顿时有些惊诧，以他的实力，堪称是圣境最为顶尖也不为过，但是竟然也只能走到三分之二的地方，难道在往里，就得是大圣境才能得到的传承不成。
不过这也不对，因为这里根本就不允许圣境之上的力量存在，更不要说大圣了，这也不合理。
“叶希文！” 叶墨化作一个书生模样，出现在叶希文的身边，只是这书生脸上带着几分邪异，怎么看怎么古怪。 “这是，对你来说，这可能是一个天大的机遇，一个跨越大圣境的机遇！”
“相比起来说，这才是真正的宝藏！” 叶墨看着眼前的虚空双眼放光说道，“叶希文，你知道大圣和圣境差别最大的地方在什么地方吧？”
“恩，从严格意义上来说，圣境和大圣境都是处于一个蜕变的过程，圣境蜕变肉身，而大圣蜕变灵魂，从而达到完美蜕变的目的！” 叶希文对于这些差别，自然是心中有数，别看圣境大圣境和传奇似乎差别不大，但是其实已经有生命本质的差别。
“对，就是蜕变灵魂，这比蜕变肉身还要难上千倍，百倍，所以大圣境那么少，就是因为这个原因，你比寻常人更加的难跨入，元神比寻常人凝实百倍，要蜕变就更加的困难！” 叶墨道。
叶希文点点头，无论是肉身还是元神，他要突破，都比寻常人要困难，但是这是他越阶征战的根本所在，不可能放弃。
“这里的威压直冲心灵，是最好的磨砺方法，你如果能一路走到最中心的地方，我想应该就可以完成灵魂的蜕变，到时候，你要是想突破到半步大圣，那就是顺理成章的事情了！”
叶希文听到这里，顿时眼前一亮，他最担心的就是大圣的门槛难跨，而完成灵魂的蜕变这是关键之中的关键。
叶墨既然这么说，那自然是没错，那么利用这里的威压，完成灵魂上的蜕变，恐怕这才是弘气楼真正的宝藏！
叶希文当即没有犹豫，立刻一步跨出，顿时只觉得顿时心里一阵压抑，仿佛是有什么沉甸甸的东西压在心口一般。
这种威压无形无状，直接作用于叶希文的灵魂深处，这种威压就好像是圣境武者对于传奇武者的威压，虽然不会直接作用于**，但是直接作用于灵魂的效果更可怕，强大的武者甚至能光凭威压就让一个弱小武者失去战斗的**和能力。
当然这都是要看双方的意志的坚定程度，心智如果足够坚定的话，就算是手无缚鸡之力的人，也能喝破天地阴邪。
寻常阴魂根本不敢近身。
就好像古代的那些大儒，胸有浩然正气，心如明镜，不为外物所动，这种威压根本就不足道。
叶希文没有动用任何的真元，因为他知道，这是只迫灵魂的，就算用真元也是没有办法抵抗的。
叶希文完全能感觉到一股威压直冲灵魂，要跨越过去这一步，一步之遥，却宛如天涯海角，如隔天堑一般。
就这一步，他都不知道到底失败了多少次！
时间一点一滴的过去，当他终于跨出了那一步的时候，时间已经过去了一天了。
而这还仅仅是万里长征的第一步而已！
但是虽然只跨过去了一步，但是他能感觉到自己的灵魂，似乎在发生一种蜕变，在宇宙星空之中，大圣境的高手远比在大世界之中的要少的多了，就是因为这种灵魂的蜕变需要极大的外力，需要借助天地之力，但是在宇宙之中，这样的天地法则，规则之力，都比大世界之中要少的多了。
所以在宇宙星空之中，大圣的数量远远少于大世界之中，一般要想成就大圣，也会选择去某一个大世界之中，成功率大大的提升。
而现在这股排斥之力，代替了天地间规则之力，来淬炼他的灵魂，每一分每一秒都感觉是煎熬，但是这个时候他却没有丝毫的懈怠，过了这最难的一关，那么大圣境就是板上钉钉的事情。
叶希文越往里面，就越发的困难，速度也越来越慢，动作也越来越僵硬，虽然这种威压不作用于**，但是直接压在他的灵魂深处，影响他的动作。
“呼！”
“呼！”
“呼！”
叶希文不断喘着粗气，他都不知道到底是走了多久了，好像是一千年，一万年，每一分每一秒都很难熬。
他全身早已经被汗珠浸湿，然后在被蒸发，又再流满全身，这样不断的持续这样的过程。
“坚持！”
“我一定要坚持下去。” 叶希文心中不断嘶吼着，声音有些干哑。
莫名的威压不断的冲击叶希文的灵魂。 已经令叶希文陷入一种浑浑噩噩的状态，甚至于都没有什么办法思考了。
灵魂的虚弱导致对整个身体的控制也减弱到极致，来自于灵魂的疲惫，甚至于比**上带给叶希文的疲惫还要多，以前叶希文体力透支的时候，也能凭借着惊人的意志力再度获得战斗力，但是现在是来自灵魂的疲惫，让他根本难以兴起抵抗的意志。
他可以说是一步一步走到了快到中心的地方，每一步都像是经历了一个轮回，越前进，他的灵魂越发的凝实，但是面临的莫名的威压也更强。
他已经能感觉到，灵魂几乎就快要完成一种飞跃式的跳跃如果这个时候放弃，那么就前功尽弃了，要完成全部的蜕变。
只差最后一点点了。
“我绝对不会再这里倒下！” 叶希文在嘶吼，每走一步对他来说，都是异常艰难，但是同样的，也是一次绝佳的磨练的机会。
“轰！” 又不知道过了多久，叶希文终于迈出了最后一步，他的体内灵魂在发生惊天的变化，他体内原本犹如是似水一般的真元开始迅速沸腾了起来，他身上凝聚的气势，一瞬间突破了。
很顺理成章的突破了，原本他以为会非常难以突破的圣境小成，也在他灵魂发生蜕变的时候，顺理成章的突破了！

Chapter 576: Breakthrough into Sage Small Perfection Realm!
Ye Xiwen swept his knife-like sharp gaze across those three men. However, it seemed from the look on their faces that they weren't reluctant to give up. They had fought to make their way here. Moreover, all three of them were outstanding geniuses of their generation. So, they weren't the kind that would be willing to give up like this.
The tenth seat had remained unoccupied till now. And, this was because none of them had been able to sweep it away so far since there was only a small difference between their strengths.
Ye Xiwen's slim figure looked exceptionally grand at this time. He had awed these outstanding heroes like a venerable overlord. He had killed three experts of Sage Accomplished realm after his arrival. In fact, one among them was a guardian. This had made everyone even more terrified and apprehensive.
Those three men could see that Ye Xiwen was insanely powerful. Therefore, they had no choice but to withdraw even though they weren't willing to do so. None of them was sure that they could defeat Ye Xiwen. They were rivals of the same level. So, they might be able to defeat each other, but killing was out of the question. After all, which Sage Accomplished level expert didn't know a way or two to save their life? However, that tiger-demon beast had been effortlessly killed by Ye Xiwen. And, this had shaken them to their core. They had realized that they could also lose their lives if they continued to compete for the seat.
Ye Xiwen watched those three men retreat. Then, his figure swiftly reached beside the light pillar, and slipped inside it.
All ten seats had been occupied now. Rings of gentle light emitted from the top of the Great Gas Building, and enveloped all the ten seats as soon as Ye Xiwen entered the light pillar.
Everyone looked at these 10 individuals with envy. They knew that each of these 10 individuals was going to obtain a heritage. But, these people didn't know what kind of heritage each of these individuals would get. However, it had to be incredible no matter what it would be…
Ye Xiwen felt as if a flower had blossomed before his eyes. Then, he suddenly found himself arriving inside an incomparably mysterious dark void. Countless luminous spots were littered across the entire space.
There were many luminous spots. Some of them were emitting dazzlingly bright rays of light, while some were emitting weak light. Some of them were twinkling brightly like the stars in a starry sky. On the other hand, some of them were dark like the dark stars in the universe; their brightness was too feeble to be visible.
"Is this the space where the heritage is? Then, all these luminous spots must be the heritages," Ye Xiwen quickly realized. These luminous spots might be various martial arts techniques. They could also be heavenly treasures that don't appear on normal days. They could also be sage tools… or maybe even Great Sage tools.
Ye Xiwen shot a glance across the entire void; it appeared like a huge galaxy. The luminous spots closer to the centre were the brightest as well as the biggest. In fact, it seemed that some of them had been dazzling since eternity.
The ones in the peripheral regions of the void appeared smaller. He saw and realized that it would be better if he moved closer to the inner regions of the void.
He didn't hesitate any further, and launched forward. He transformed into a streamer of light, and flew towards the centre. However, he was cautious as well. He was vigilant towards the other people who must've appeared here to receive their respective heritages. After all, they had also proven themselves after passing through many battles. And, they also possessed incredible power. But, he soon found out that he was alone in this big space. There was no one else. This cooled down his mind.
However, he then realized that a tremendous force was pushing him outward, and was preventing him from going deeper. In fact, he felt as if a gigantic force was engulfing him with every step that he took to forge ahead.
He had managed to cover two-third of the void by now. However, he couldn't move even a step further towards the remaining one-third.
He was a bit stunned by this. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his strength was at the pinnacle of the sage realm. However, he had barely managed to cover two-third of the distance. Could it possible that only Great Sage experts could obtain the heritages here?
However, this couldn't be the case because the people with strength above the sage realm weren't allowed at this place. This meant that the Great Sage experts weren't allowed to come here. So, this wasn't logical.
"Ye Xiwen!" Ye Mo appeared beside Ye Xiwen with a scholar-like appearance. This scholar's face looked strange and demonic at the moment. It looked weird regardless of how one looked at it. "This could be a big opportunity for you to break through to the Great Sage realm.
"It won't be an overstatement to say that this is a genuine treasure," Ye Mo glanced at the void before his eyes and said, "Ye Xiwen, do you know the biggest difference between Great Sage realm and sage realm?"
"Yes! Sage realm and Great Sage realm involve the process of a person's transformation. Sage realm involves the transformation of a person's body, and Great Sage realm involves transformation of their soul — thereby accomplishing the perfect transformation," Ye Xiwen naturally knew about these differences. One mustn't think that the difference between sage realm, Great Sage realm, and legendary realm wasn't very big. After all, there was a difference in the very essence of one's being between the three realms.
"That's right, it transforms the soul. That is hundred or thousand times more difficult than the transformation of body. This is why there are only a few Great Sage experts. It will be far more difficult for you to enter this realm than an ordinary person. After all, your soul is hundred times more congealed than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult to transform it," Ye Mo explained.
Ye Xiwen nodded. It would always be more difficult for him to make a breakthrough than an ordinary person… whether it was the body or the soul. However, this place could help him with his quest to level up. Therefore, it was impossible for him to give up on it.
"The coercive pressure here is the best way to sharpen your soul. I think you will complete the transformation of your soul if you manage to reach the central region. After that, making the breakthrough into half-step Great Sage realm would just be a matter of time."
Everything became clear before Ye Xiwen's eyes as he heard this. He had been worrying over the difficulty of crossing the Great Sage realm's barrier. And, the most crucial thing for that was completing the transformation of soul.
[Ye Mo's words seem very logical. I can use the coercion of this place to complete the transformation of my soul. And, this is perhaps the real treasure of the Great Gas Building!]
Ye Xiwen didn't hesitate any further, and stepped forward. However, he suddenly felt as if his soul was being suppressed. He felt as if some heavy object was pressing against his chest.
This coercion was invisible. However, it had caused an impact on the depths of his soul. This kind of coercion was similar to the pressure applied by a sage expert on a legendary expert. It wasn't affecting his body. Instead, it was directly exerting pressure on his soul, and this was even more dreadful. In fact, a formidable expert could make a weak expert lose the will and ability to fight solely depending upon this kind of suppressive force.
However, it ultimately depends upon how strong the willpower is on both sides. Even a weak person can break the evils of the world with just a bellow if their willpower is strong enough.
Ordinary souls simply wouldn't dare to get close to such a strong-willed person.
For instance... this coercion wouldn't work on those awe-inspiring ancient scholars whose minds were like mirrors. After all, their minds wouldn't allow any external afflictions to affect them.
Ye Xiwen didn't use his Real Elemental Energy because he knew that this coercion was only suppressing his soul. And, this meant that he couldn't resist it using his Real Elemental Energy.
Ye Xiwen could feel the coercion directly impacting his soul. A single step seemed like a great distance... as if he had to reach the edge of the world. Each step was like a natural moat that he must cross.
He didn't know how many times he had failed in taking this one step.
Time passed gradually. An entire day had passed by the time he finally completed that step.
However, this was only the first step of a big journey.
He had moved just one step forward. However, he felt as if his soul had transformed a bit. There were too few Great Sage experts in the space as compared to that on macrocosms like the True Martial World. This was because the transformation of soul required the supply of an enormous amount of external forces. So, one needed to draw support from the worldly forces. However, there were very few worldly principles in the space as compared to that in macrocosms. And, this was true for the powers of principles as well.
Therefore, the number of Great Sage experts in the space was far less than that in macrocosms. Generally speaking, a person must choose some big world if they wanted to reach to the Great Sage realm. After all, the rate of success would be greatly improved if one did so.
However, this coercion was tempering his soul instead of the usual power of worldly principles found in macrocosms. Every second and every minute felt like an eternity. However, he didn't slack even a bit. After all, Great Sage realm would be within his grasp if he managed to pass this trial.
This task became increasingly difficult as he went deeper. And, his pace decreased constantly as a result. Moreover, his movement also became stiffer. This coercion wasn't causing any impact on his body. However, it was still affecting his movement since it was suppressing the depths of his soul.
"Huff!"
"Huff!"
"Huff!"
Ye Xiwen was unceasingly panting. He didn't know for how long he had been walking. It seemed like an eternity. Moreover, it was getting increasingly unbearable with every passing second.
He would get drenched in sweat, and then that sweat would get evaporated. Then, his entire body would get covered with sweat once again. This process continued unceasingly.
"Persevere!"
"I must persevere!" Ye Xiwen was unceasingly shouting in his mind. But, even his voice was getting somewhat muffled.
The unimaginable coercion was attacking Ye Xiwen's soul unceasingly. However, he didn't have any way to ponder over it as he had already fallen into a state of daze.
The weakness of soul leads to the weakening of the control over one's body to a great degree. The exhaustion of his soul had left Ye Xiwen to feel much more tired than how he would've felt with an exhausted body. Ye Xiwen used to regain his fighting prowess with the help of his incredible willpower whenever he got exhausted at a physical level. However, his exhaustion of his soul had made it difficult for him to obtain the willpower to fight back at this time.
He was gradually approaching the centre… step by step. And, it seemed that he was reincarnating with every step that he took. The closer he reached, the sturdier his soul became. However, he also had to face increasingly strong coercion as he progressed.
He could feel that his soul was almost ready to complete a kind of leap. Therefore, everything would go in vain if he gave up now. He must achieve the complete transformation.
He was only lacking by a little bit.
"I won't fall here!" Ye Xiwen shouted. Every step was exceptionally difficult for him. However, it was also a brilliant opportunity to temper himself.
"Bang!" It wasn't known how much time had passed when Ye Xiwen finally took the last step. But, a startling change occurred in his soul as a result. His 'Real Elemental Energy' began to boil rapidly like water. And, the imposing aura condensed on his body made a breakthrough within a split second.
This breakthrough was bound to happen. Ye Xiwen had previously believed that it would be very difficult to make the breakthrough into Sage Small Perfection realm. However, this breakthrough had happened by itself since his soul had been transformed over the course of this trial.

第167章
突破，明悟，刺杀！
叶笑心中苦涩酸痛，这本是他心中永远的结，无解的结。
前世的我，竟是一无所有。
曾经拥有的唯一朋友，还被杀了！
虽然，这是另一个叶笑的身体；但，我既然在这个身体上重生，那就是我的身体，我的责任，我的家！
这一生，我有父母，我有朋友，我有家人，我有兄弟，我有爱人，我有家国河山！
原来，这一切，都是我的责任，我必须要守护的东西！
原来我今生，竟是如此的富有。
在逐渐的将自己完全放松。 我有，我都有！
我拥有的，便由我来守护！
我全部都要！
全部都要守护住！
我拥有了，我便不想失去！
苏夜月娇俏可爱的脸，在他心中一闪，一派巧笑嫣然地注视着他。
叶笑心中一动，竟忍不住笑了笑，下意识的笑了笑。
这个小丫头，当真是挺可爱的呢。
这一生，为了这一切我要守护的物事，我要认认真真的活下去。
叶笑如是想着想着，心神竟自有意无意地晋升入大放松，大欢喜的超然状态之中。
而就在他这么想的时候，他的丹田紫气，也在悄然地发生天翻地覆的变化。
一团紫云，从他的丹田爆起，随即，弥漫整个丹田！
天空中，今晚本是阴云密布的夜空，突然云开雾散，月光皎洁的挂在长空，散发出无穷无尽的银色光华。
几个若有若无的紫色光圈，萦绕在月光之外。
这一夜，蔚为奇观。
无数人对此翘首以望，追忆终生。
却没有任何人知道，在这一刻，天地间最纯正的紫华精元，正自从月华之中汹涌爆发，向着人间某处蜂拥而来。
一道道几乎能够令空间扭曲的紫色光线，穿透苍穹长空，进入辰星城，进入了将军府，进入了后院，进入了叶笑的身体。
叶笑丹田之中的紫气份量，竟是在以一种爆炸也似的惊人速度疯狂增加着！
而无尽空间之中，氤氲紫气更是汹涌澎湃，几乎令到整个空间都染上了一层近乎透明、却又清晰可见的紫色。
而那颗蛋所在的位置，聚集的紫气更加是几乎凝成了实质，就像是一块足有数十丈方圆的紫色透明琥珀一般，那颗蛋在疯狂的鲸吞紫气，但凡是紫气能量，只要是去到了它的势力范畴，就会立即被其吸纳。 然而此刻天地间的紫气持续疯狂的涌进，又或者说是疯狂的狂灌进去！
所以，那蛋虽然吸纳能力惊人，紫气能量却不至于供应不上，如此也就形成了一种另类的平衡。 随着吸收的紫气能量分量越来越多，这颗蛋的蛋身颜色渐渐变得愈发晶莹，上面的花纹，也更形清晰。
九大空间，同样是紫气充盈，所幸这紫气能量不像天外幽冥爆发的极寒之气，会对九大空间造成侵略性的侵占，反而对九大空间产生了裨益极大的好处。
尤其是木灵空间，里面的一干奇花异草天材地宝，接受了氤氲紫气的滋润之后，一个个如同吃了十全大补药一般，呼呼的抽枝生长，那一株悟道之茶，居然在极短的时间里，生长到了海碗粗细，树冠更是呼啦啦铺散而开，如同一把大伞也似，还在在逐渐的往外铺张，慢慢的，树冠已经可以覆盖三丈方圆！
上面的叶子，从绿色之中，已经逐渐的有点点月华一般的晶莹闪现！
而这一切，叶笑本人却是懵然不知的。
因为，那个奇妙的声音仍在继续；而叶笑整个人，似乎随着这个声音，在自己的生命长河中徜徉遨游，再没有其他的任何感觉。
到了第九次爆满、收缩之余，竟出现了轰然爆炸！
丹田中经过九次压缩提纯的紫气瞬间全数消失，转化成为一丁点的紫色光点！
与此同时，叶笑知觉浑身舒畅，一口紫黑色的东西，被下意识的喷了出来，却没有感觉到任何一点点疼痛，甚至没有令其从半梦半醒的状态中脱离出来。
再过片刻，天地间渐次恢复了正常状况。
月光皎洁半空，万里银辉，却再无半点紫晕。
叶笑缓缓地睁开眼睛，眸子中精光四射，自身感官的微妙差异告诉自己，自己的身体在不期然间已经发生了天翻地覆的变化！ 自己再也不是没有目标！
再也不是没有爱！
叶笑长长的吐了一口气，喃喃道：“老天爷，这就是你对我的补偿吗？”
蓦然，感觉自己的空间那边发生了一阵震动。
而震动的源头竟是——那代表着第二层紫气东来神功的的大门，松开了一条缝！
叶笑见状自然是大喜过望，心神一动，便要进去查看一个究竟。
但是，就在这一刻，突然一阵毛骨悚然的感觉油然升起。
一道刺目的光华，夹杂着宏大的剑气，从窗外闪电一般直穿而入！
这是满布杀机的绝杀一剑！
尽是死意！
来人是刺客！
而且还是最顶级的刺客！
只为刺杀叶笑而来！ 与此同时，叶府周围的喊杀声大作，无数道黑影腾身而起，有从外而来的，也有从叶府之内腾起，迎敌！
而叶府之内，也有三四十道身影刀剑闪烁，拦截敌人，拼命反攻！
瞭望台上，一道尖锐之极的号角响彻了夜空！
宋绝长啸一声，震动了寂静夜空，他的手中，一道血色光华已经形成了一道席卷天地的风暴，带着隐隐的蓝色，明锐的黄色，夹杂着长刀的血色，疯狂地向着叶笑的房间冲去！
而在宋绝前进的方向之前，有六个蒙面人同时出手，死命的截杀！
其中一个，惊见眼前这一幕，似乎是想起了什么，突然一声惊呼：“血刀将军！ 你是宋一刀！
宋绝目光冷锐，冷喝道：“你知道个屁！”
血色光华骤然轩动，轰轰轰几声，对面的六个人同时口喷鲜血，往后踉跄退去！
六命地元境九品高手的合力，竟仍抵挡不住宋绝的霸道攻势！
“不对，你不是宋一刀……就算是当年的血刀将军，也断断没有这等实力……”先前开口那人呛咳着，厉声吼道：“你是谁？
宋绝刀光血光再闪，身子不停，长虹一般直进，口中冷冷道：“我刚才已经说过，你什么都不知道，连个屁都不知道！”
大刀一挥，六颗人头整齐掉落！
血光冲天而起的同时，宋绝丝毫不曾停留，仍如杀神一般疾速冲前。
然而，对面又有两个黑衣蒙面人出手挡住了他前进的脚步，这一波的对手虽然只得两人，但这两人的修为却要比前面六人合起来还要高！
因为这两个人出手之际，有清晰的蓝光闪烁，赫然已是天元境高手！
被敌人二度拦截的宋绝仰天长啸：“杀！”
一股澎湃的杀气，顿时席卷了整个大院！
貌似就从来没有这样憋屈过！
简直比之前修为尽颓那会还要憋屈，之前是心有余力不足，现在伤势大有好转，修为回复，居然还是憋屈，还是心有余力不足！
空自有一身超脱这个世界极限的惊世修为，但现在却是境界被伤势压制，完全发挥不出来；就面前这两个区区天元境水准，居然就生生地挡住了自己！
他所说的，也根本没错：你们知道个屁！
宋一刀？
不错，老子的确是宋一刀！ 那个血刀将军！
但你们永远都不会知道，老子真正是谁！
憋屈万分的宋绝除了憋屈，更是心急如焚！
怎么可能不着急，从这一次刺杀规模来看，敌人显然已经动用了中坚力量，意图毕其功于一役。
这一次的刺杀，当真是空前的盛大！
就目前已经现身的刺客，其中地元境八品以上水准，足足出动了三四十位；而天元境杀手，居然也出动了不少于八个！
但现在，如斯盛大阵容的敌人却用在了叶笑身上！
那么，目的就只得一个：决不能让叶笑活着！
这一切无疑代表了杀手界之中的必杀令！

Chapter 167
Chapter 167 – Breakthrough! Enlightenment! Assassination!
Ye Xiao felt painful in his heart. That was something sticking deep inside his heart and could never be removed.
[I actually had nothing in my previous life.
What I had was only the world-shocking cultivation capability. That’s all.
This life… Although I am in another Ye Xiao’s body, since I am living in this body, it should be my body, my responsibility and my home.
In my present life, I have parents and friends. I have families, brothers, lover and home country.
They are all my responsibilities. They are what I should protect.
I turned out to be so wealthy this life.
Those I longed for in my previous life, now I have them all.
[I have them all.
I should protect them all.
I am protecting them all.
I have them, and I don’t want to lose them.]
Su Ye-Yue’s cute face showed up in his mind looking at him smilingly.
Ye Xiao was motivated. He couldn’t help smiling.
[This little girl is truly cute.
I will live this life carefully for all the things and people I should protect.
I will never miss any bit of the wonderfulness in my life.] Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts. Gradually, he became fully relaxed.
While he was relaxing, the purple qi inside his dantian was running.
A mass of purple qi bursted inside his dantian and filled it up.
It should be a cloudy dark night, but suddenly, the clouds were all gone and the moon was hanging in the sky brightly splashing the silver glows to the world.
A few rounds of purple glow appeared around the moon.
That was a wonderful night.
Lots of people looked at the moon; this night was a night they would never forget it until they died.
Yet nobody knew that, at the moment, the purest purple essence in the world was bursting in the moonlight towards somewhere in the world.
One after another, streams of purple light entered the Chen-Xing City, the General’s House, the back yard and entered Ye Xiao’s body.
The purple qi in his dantian was increasing in a crazy rate.
In the Boundless Space, the purple qi was like huge waves. It nearly made the whole Space covered by a layer of crystal purple color.
In the place where the egg stayed, a huge amount of purple qi had gathered. It nearly became solid. It was like a big piece of purple amber. The egg was swallowing the purple qi like mad. Every single bit of the purple qi was absorbed immediately when it entered the egg’s range. At the moment, the purple qi in the world was rushing toward and into Ye Xiao’s body. Thus, even though the egg was swallowing the purple qi wildly, there was endless purple qi for it. That was balanced anyway.
As more and more of the purple qi entered the egg, the egg became more and more crystal-like. The patterns on the egg became clearer and clearer, and it became as big as a small watermelon from as big as an apple…
The nine spaces were also filled with purple qi. Luckily, the purple qi didn’t work like the gelid qi. It didn’t hurt anything in the Spaces. Instead, it was helping the Spaces.
In the Wood Space, the precious plants grew crazily fast after being touched by the purple qi. The Tree of the Cultivating Tea actually became as thick as a bowl. The leaves were growing bigger like a huge umbrella. After a while, the crown of the tree became ten meters big.
The leaves became a bit crystal silver like the moon light.
Ye Xiao didn’t know any of all this.
Because the voice was still sounding inside his mind. Ye Xiao was like swimming in the long river of life. He couldn’t feel anything else.
When it was full the ninth time, it exploded along with the compression.
The pure purple qi that was compressed for nine times suddenly disappeared, and there showed up a small bit of purple light.
At the same time, Ye Xiao felt extremely comfortable. He unconsciously threw out some dark purple thing. He didn’t feel painful. He didn’t even wake up from his mind trip.
After a while, the world became normal again.
He was no more a man without destination. He was no more a man without love.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were bright. He felt that his body had been totally different now.
He was no more a man without love.
Ye Xiao breathed out and murmured, “God, is this how you make up for me?”
Suddenly, he felt the Space shaking.
The reason it shook was that the gate to the second level of the East-rising Purple Qi had opened a crevice.
Ye Xiao was of course overjoyed seeing so. He motivated his mind and peered at his sea of consciousness to check on it.
At the moment, he suddenly had a scary feeling.
A sharp light with a bunch of sword breaths rushed over from outside the window like a lightning.
It was a sword move filled with killing intent.
It was a killing move.
It was an assault from an assassin.
He was here to assassinate Ye Xiao.
At the moment, sounds of shouts appeared around the House of Ye. Countless black figures jumped and flew over to the house. Some of them were coming from outside, while the others were jumping in the house.
There were over fifty men in black. There were also about forty men fighting against them with swords.
A horn was resounding in the sky from the watchtower. “Assassins!”
Song Jue shouted loudly and his sound had shocked the silent night. There was a stream of a bloody red color with blue and yellow covering the long-sword in his hand. He was running to Ye Xiao’s room rapidly. The weapon had a name, Blood Glow.
However, there were six masked men trying to stop him on his way.
One of them seemed to recall something. He suddenly shouted, “Blood Blade General! Are you Song Yi-Dao? No wonder you haven’t shown up in the battle for so many years. You have been hiding in the House of Ye.”
Song Jue’s eyes were sharp. He shouted fiercely, “You know shxt!”
The Blood Glow moved like the wind. – Boom! Boom! boom! – The six men spat out blood at the same time and stepped back staggering.
Six men at ninth level of the Grade of Diyuan actually couldn’t stop Song Jue’s fierceness.
One sword move had already caused huge damage. “Wait… You are not Song Yi-Dao… Even the Blood Blade General doesn’t have the capability of this…” The man was coughing and he shouted, “Who are you? Who the hell are you?”
Song Jue’s sword flashed again. He didn’t stop rushing. He was like a long rainbow moving forward as he spoke coldly, “I did tell you that you know shxt! You don’t even know shxt!”
He swayed the sword and six heads dropped down to the floor.
With the color of blood shining, Song Jue didn’t stop a bit. He was rushing forward like death itself.
There were two other masked men in black trying to stop him. Although they were just two men, they were much stronger than the six men earlier.
When the two of them moved, there were blue glows flashing. They were apparently cultivators of the Grade of Tianyuan.
Yet they had tried so hard and just temporarily stopped Song Jue. Song Jue shouted to the sky, “KILL!”
A fierce vigor of killing suddenly filled the whole house.
The desire for killing in his heart was now fully released at the moment.
He felt so oppressed. He felt even more oppressed than when he had lost all his cultivation. Now he had already recovered, yet he was still oppressed.
He had the capability that was over the limit of this realm, yet he was restrained because of his injury. He was so angry that he had actually been stopped by two men that were only at the Grade of Tianyuan.
He wasn’t just saying. ‘You know shxt!’
[Song Yi-Dao?
Yep! I am Song Yi-Dao, the Blood Blade General indeed.
Yet you will never know who I really is!]
He was not only oppressed, but also hurried.
How could he not be hurried. The enemies had apparently sent out their main force this time. They must have wanted to finish it all at once.
The assassination was a huge one.
Among the assassins that had already shown up in the House of Ye, there were forty over the eight level of the Grade of Diyuan. There were also eight men at the Grade of Tianyuan. It was enough to even kill a king.
Yet now they were all here to take Ye Xiao’s life.
They had only one job. They just can’t let Ye Xiao live.
That meant it should be the Absolute Killing Order in the assassination world.

"value": "Chapter 312: Truth\nChapter 312: Truth\nUnder the night sky, two shadows shot over the roofs of different houses in an agile manner. Between some of the houses were spacious streets and although it was already late at night, a great deal of people still filled the streets, making noise. Fortunately, the speed of the two human figures in midair was extremely fast. Even if one raised their head, he would merely see two black lines that flashed and disappeared.\nXiao Yan followed close behind Hai Bo Dong and the Dou Qi in his body slowly tumbled, creating waves of seemingly never ending energy for the muscles in his body. The tip of his feet gently pressed on the roof and his body quickly shot forward.\n“We’re here.” After Xiao Yan followed Hai Bo Dong closely as he rushed forward for a distance, Hai Bo Dong in front of him suddenly warned.\nHearing this, Xiao Yan nodded his head. His body that was leaning forward bent down slightly. When his feet touched the ground, his palm also gently pasted onto the roof tiles, making a perfect landing. There was a slight soft sound, but other than that, there was not even the slightest crack on the fragile tiles.\nXiao Yan patted his hand and stood up. He was, however, not pleased with the way he had landed. If there was a Dou Ling class person below, it was likely that Xiao Yan would have been discovered by him because of that slight sound.\nXiao Yan raised his head and eyed Fa Ma and Jia Lao who were seated comfortably on the huge roof. Clearly, they had been here for quite a while and were currently smiling as they eyed Hai Bo Dong and Xiao Yan who were hurrying over.\nAfter sweeping over the roof, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong appeared by Fa Ma’s and Jia Lao’s side. The four pairs of eyes exchanged glances and all of them laughed quietly.\n“I knew that you would follow.” Fa Ma smiled and said as he eyed Xiao Yan.\n“I am also quite interested in that fellow. He has such a terrifying ability at such an age. This kind of talent can be called abnormal.” Xiao Yan sighed. If that fellow was really as old as he appeared on the surface, it was indeed quite a blow to others. Seeing the dexterous manner he displayed when refining medicine, it was likely that he should be around a tier four alchemist. A seventeen year old tier four alchemist. Xiao Yan clicked his tongue. Back then, when Gu He reached a tier four alchemist, his age was nearly thirty. Yet this person was around half his age.\nIf his age was true, just what kind of terrifying person would he be once he gradually grew older in the future. Tier seven? Or perhaps tier eight. This kind of level was basically sufficient to stand at the peak of the Dou Qi continent!\nEven the current Xiao Yan had merely just stepped into the level of a tier three alchemist. This was only the case because of the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’. When comparing the two of them, the large gap between them caused people to be stunned.\n“Hey, why are you randomly guessing about that here. Let’s hurry and go investigate. If you are really uneasy, then…” Jia Lao by the side laughed faintly and his hand performed a horizontal cut. For such a strong person, he could have almost no emotional fluctuations when killing a person. Killing people to them was as if they were killing a chicken. He was in such a profound realm that Xiao Yan could not stop from smiling bitterly at.\n“Ke ke, let’s go.” Fa Ma smiled and nodded without voicing any disagreement. Evidently, he had quietly admitted that this was a course of action that was not impossible. He smiled at Hai Bo Dong and Xiao Yan, and took the lead in moving his body, flashing towards a luxurious inn toward the south of the city.\nAs he eyed the three human figures flashing past in front of him, Xiao Yan hesitated briefly before he began to closely follow them. That fellow had not the slightest relationship with him. If the fellow was killed, then so be it. In any case, Xiao Yan did not have a good impression of that fellow. He was not some diabolical person. If others did not offend him, he would not offend others. When faced with people who had no relation to him, however, Xiao Yan could still reach the state of being indifferent.\nTheir quick movement this time around continued for a few minutes before it came to a stop with a waving gesture from Fa Ma at the front.\n“That fellow is currently living here.” Fa Ma landed on the roof without the slightest abnormal sound. When his gaze watched Xiao Yan rushing over, he suddenly waved his sleeves and a soft force covered the point where Xiao Yan landed. This time around, the latter did not create even the slightest sound.\nXiao Yan nodded gratefully toward Fa Ma before quietly standing by Hai Bo Dong’s side. He knew that on such an occasion, he only needed to be an audience.\n“Hei, this fellow seems to have made some preparations.” Jia Lao suddenly laughed coldly. At this moment, a spot some distance in front of his feet had an extremely fine black line stretched out. Xiao Yan looked over only to find that two tiny black colored bells were hung at the two ends of the black line.\n“Small tricks.” A hand was waved and a ferocious force quietly floated over the air. The two black colored small bells did not even emit the slightest sound when they were shook to nothingness.\n“Allow me.” Hai Bo Dong smiled. His shrivelled hand that was like rotten wood slowly extended out from his sleeves. A faint white colored fog was shrouding his hand. That icy cold air caused the surrounding temperature to instantly be reduced significantly.\nAs he pressed his palms gently downward, a white colored fog covered over the tile. Finally, it swiftly began spreading outward. In an instant, it shrouded the entire roof.\n“Ice Mirror!” Eyeing the white colored fog that was shrouding the place, Hai Bo Dong softly cried out. The fog swiftly coagulated, finally turning into a layer of thin ice that covered the roof.\n“Appear!” Hai Bo Dong once again cried out softly. Xiao Yan suddenly had a bizarre realization. This vast expanse of white, thin ice actually began to become illusionary. At one instance, a spacious room was projected on the thin ice, much like a movie being played, imprinting all the bodies within it clearly onto the ice layer.\nOnce he completed all this, Hai Bo Dong patted his hand. He eyed Xiao Yan’s astonished face and could not help but smile and explain, “It is just a little trick. I used the cold air to invade into the room. After which, it coalesced into ice fragments that are not easy to discover. Finally, the reflection of these ice fragments will project all that is within.”\n“What a brilliant control over the ice.” Xiao Yan praised.\n“It is only a little trick and only has this little effect. It isn’t worth mentioning.” Hai Bo Dong smiled as he waved his hand. Although this was what he spoke with his mouth, Hai Bo Dong did not hide the pride on his face.\nWith a smile, Xiao Yan threw his gaze toward the ice layer under his feet. Currently, the room was void of anyone. It was likely that the gray robed young man had yet to return.\n“Let’s wait.” Once he said these words, Fa Ma sat cross-legged on the ice layer, closed his eyes and rested.\nXiao Yan smiled bitterly and nodded. He could only sit down. When he touched the ice layer, he did not sense the slightest cold air. It was likely that the low temperature on the ice had already been suppressed by Hai Bo Dong. Immediately, Xiao Yan once again thought even more highly of his ability to control ice.\nAs Xiao Yan and the others each became quiet, the roof descended into silence. When this silence persisted for nearly half an hour, the room’s door within the ice layer suddenly moved. Hai Bo Dong, who had his eyes tightly shut, was first to sense something and opened them. He pressed his hands down at Fa Ma and Jia Lao by the side, who had also sensed something. After which, he lowered his head and stared at the ice mirror.\nAfter the room’s door moved, a gray robed person slowly walked in. That tender young man’s face was that of the dark horse who had been the most shocking person in the Grand Meeting today.\nSeeing the gray robe man who had just entered, Xiao Yan involuntarily suppressed his breathing. He did not dare make the slightest movement with his body as his eyes stared intently at the other parties’ every movement.\nOnce the gray robed person entered the room, he did not do any strange actions. He shut the door properly and randomly washed up before sitting cross-legged on the bed to adjust his condition.\nXiao Yan knit his eyebrows slightly at the gray robed young man’s ordinary action. He licked his lips, turned his head and eyed Hai Bo Dong’s three man group who were still quietly waiting. Xiao Yan could only continue turning his gaze downward and patiently waited.\nIt was the dead of night after an hour had passed. The gray robed young man, who was adjusting his condition, suddenly opened his eyes. His dark and cold gaze slowly swept across the room. After which, he descended from the bed and gently closed all of the windows in the room. Finally, his hands were placed behind his back as he raised his head and swept his gaze to every corner of the room, engaging in a detailed scan of the beams above.\nStanding on the roof, Xiao Yan eyed the gray robed young man who had raised his head and scanning the beams. He could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. As one could see the interior using the ice layer, it was as though the gray robed young man was staring at their group darkly and coldly while they watched him.\nHowever, it was fortunate that this was an illusion on Xiao Yan’s part. Those ice fragments that Hai Bo Dong had fixed up were at very covert locations. Therefore, once he had swept his gaze once around, the gray robe young man heaved a sigh of relief.\n“Humph, what a crappy Grand Meeting. Once I obtain the champion position here, I will make sure that the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association is disgraced. Once the association loses the trust of the alchemists, it will be finished!” The gray robe young man twisted his neck and suddenly said with a cold laugh.\nThe gray robe young man’s hand touched his face and frowned slightly as he softly mumbled something. With a flip of his palm, a pale-red colored medicinal pill appeared in it.\nDamn ‘Appearance Recovery Pill’. Although it can allow one to returned to his appearance when he was young, it merely affects the surface. Ah, if it were not for wanting to reduce the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association within other countries, our association would not need to spend such a great effort to refine this kind of priceless thing. Moreover, if one wanted to recover one’s previous appearance, one would continually need to eat a specific medicinal pill. This kind of consumption is too large.” The gray robed young man softly muttered. He squeezed the pale-red colored medicinal pill into his mouth. He then made a slight chewing movement before swallowing it into his body.\n“Sure enough, there is something fishy with this fellow.” As he watched the scene that had occurred within the room, the eyes that he used to stare at the ice layer slowly widened."

第三百一十二章
第三百一十二章
夜空之下，两道影子敏捷的在房屋之顶穿梭着，在房屋间某些宽敞的空隙间，是宽阔的街道，虽然此刻已是深夜，可街道之上，人流依然鼎沸，不过好在半空上的人影速度极为快捷，即使偶有人抬头，也仅仅是只能看到两条一闪即逝的黑线。
紧紧的跟在海波东身后，萧炎体内的斗气缓缓的滚动着，为身体肌肉制造出一股股仿佛用之不竭的能量，脚尖轻点屋顶，身形便是暴掠而出。
“到了...”闷头跟着海波东一阵猛冲之后，前面的海波东忽然出声提醒道。
闻言，萧炎点了点头，前倾的身体微微弯下，脚掌落地间，双掌也是轻贴在了瓦片上，完美的落地，除了有丁点细微的声响外，连那脆弱的瓦片，都未有丝毫破裂。
拍了拍手，萧炎站起身来，对于自己的落地，却是有些感到不满，如果下方有着一个斗灵级别的强者话，恐怕就将会因为那点轻响而发现他。
抬起头来，萧炎望着对面巨大屋顶之上正惬意而坐的法犸与加老两人，显然，他们早已到了此处，此时，两人正笑吟吟的望着赶来的萧炎与海波东。
掠过房顶，萧炎两人出现在法犸两人身旁，四目对视，都是低声笑了笑。 “我就知道你也会跟来。”
望着萧炎，法犸笑眯眯的道。
“我对那家伙也挺感兴趣的，这般年纪，实力便是如此恐怖，这种天赋，简直堪称bt啊。” 萧炎叹息着道，如果那家伙真的只是表面上那点年纪，那么可实在是有些打击人，看他炼药时候的利落，恐怕真实等级应该在四品左右吧？
一个十七岁的四品炼药师...啧啧...想当年古河到达四品的时候，那也是将近三十岁了，而这人，却是将近比他小了一倍之多。 如果他的岁数是真的,那么等其日后逐渐长大，那会成为何种恐怖的人？ 七品？
即使是现在的萧炎，那也不过方才进入三品炼药师的层次，而且，这还是得依靠青莲地心火的缘故，两相比较，这之间的差距之大，简直让人目瞪口呆。
“嗨，在这瞎猜干什么，还是赶紧动身去探查一番吧，你若实在放心不下的话，那...”一旁的加老淡淡的笑了笑，手掌作横切之势，在这种强者眼中，杀人几乎是能够没有丝毫的情感波动，当真是杀人如杀鸡，境界高深得让萧炎苦笑不已。 “呵呵，走吧。”
笑着点了点头，法犸并未有所反对，明显是默认了这种并非不可能的举动，对着海波东与萧炎笑了笑，然后率先展动身形，对着城市偏南处的一座豪华旅馆，闪掠而去。
望着前面闪掠的三道人影，萧炎略一踌躇，便是紧跟了上去，那家伙和他屁关系都没有，被宰了就宰了吧，反正对那家伙也挺不感冒的，他虽然不是什么穷凶极恶之人，不过人不犯我，我不犯人，对待与自己毫无关系的人，萧炎倒也还能做到冷漠的地步。
此次的闪掠，紧紧持续了几分钟，便是在前面法犸挥动的手势中，停了下来。
“那家伙就是住在这里...”法犸没有带起丝毫异声的落在了房顶之上，目光瞧着萧炎的掠来，忽然一拂袖，一股柔软的劲气便是覆盖在了萧炎落脚之地，这次，后者再没有弄出细微的声响。
对着法犸感激的点了点头，萧炎安静的站在海波东身侧，他知道，这种场合，他只需要当个观众就好。
“嘿，这家伙原来还有所戒备啊...”加老忽然冷笑道，此时，他脚掌前方许些距离，一根极为纤细的黑线，正延伸而出，萧炎顺着望过去，只见在那黑线的两头，竟然都是挂着两枚细小的黑色铃铛。
“雕虫小技。” 手掌一挥，一股凶悍劲气悄无声息的融过空气，两枚黑色小铃铛，连半点声音都未发出，便是被震成了一片虚无。
“让我来吧...”海波东笑了笑，干枯如枯木般的手掌缓缓探出衣袖，掌心之间，缭绕着淡淡的白色雾气，那股冰凉寒气，让得周围的温度瞬间便是降低了许多。
双掌轻轻压下，白色雾气，覆盖在了瓦片之上，最后迅速扩散开来，眨眼时间，便是将屋顶完全所笼罩。
“冰镜！” 望着那些覆盖的白色雾气，海波东一声轻喝，雾气迅速凝结，最后化为薄冰，将屋顶所覆盖。
“现！” 再度轻喝，萧炎忽然奇异的发现，那一片白茫茫的波冰层，竟然开始了虚幻，某一霎那，一个宽敞的屋子，被印射在了薄冰之上，犹如放着电影一般，将其中的所有物体，都清晰的印刻在冰层之上。
做完这一切，海波东拍了拍手，望着萧炎那满脸惊异，不由得笑着解释道：“一点小把戏，用寒气侵入屋中，然后凝结成不易被发现的碎冰，最后再由碎冰的反射，将之投射而出。”
“好高明的控冰手法。” 萧炎赞叹道。
“小把戏而已，也就这点效果，不值一提。” 笑着摆了摆手，虽然嘴上这样说着，可海波东脸庞上的得意，却并未多加掩饰。
笑了笑，萧炎将目光投下脚下的冰层，此时的房间中，正空无一人，想必那灰袍少年应该还未回来吧。 “等等吧。”
说完这话，法犸便是盘坐在冰层之上，闭目养神了起来。
苦笑着点了点头，萧炎也只得坐了下来，摸着冰层，却并未感觉到丝毫的寒气，想来上面的低温，应该已经被海波东压制了下去，当下心中对他的控冰之术再次高看了许多。
随着萧炎几人的各自沉默，屋顶之上，便是陷入了寂静，而当寂静持续了将近半小时之后，冰镜中房门，忽然动了动，紧闭双眸的海波东，率先有所感应的睁开眼来，对着一旁同样有所察觉的法犸两人压了压手，然后低头盯着冰镜。
房门在动了动之后，一道灰袍缓缓走进，那副稚嫩的少年面孔，正是今日大会上最令人震撼的那匹黑马。
望着那进来的灰袍少年，萧炎不由自主的压低了呼吸，身体不敢有着丝毫的动弹，眼睛死死的盯着对方的一举一动。
灰袍少年进屋之后，却并未有着什么怪异的举动，将房门关好后，随意的洗漱了一下，便是上床盘坐调息。
微皱着眉头望着他的正常举动，萧炎舔了舔嘴唇，转头望了望依然安静等待的海波东三人，只得继续将目光投下，耐心的等待着。
一个小时之后，此时已是夜深人静，调息中的灰袍少年忽然睁开了眼来，阴冷的目光在房间之中缓缓扫视着，然后行下床榻，轻轻的将房间的窗户完全关闭，最后双手负于身后，抬着头，目光在房梁各处，仔细的扫描着。
站在屋顶之上，萧炎望着那抬头望着房梁的灰袍少年，忍不住的咽了一口唾沫，因为冰层能够瞧见里面的缘故，所以，这般看着灰袍少年，就好像他正在阴冷的盯着自己一群人一般。
不过好在这只是萧炎的错觉，海波东所布置的那些碎冰，位置极为隐蔽，所以在扫视了一圈之后，灰袍少年方才轻松了一口气。
“哼，狗屁的大会，等我这次取得冠军，看你加玛帝国的炼药公会会不会名誉扫地，一个公会失去了炼药师的信任，那也就该结束了！” 扭了扭脖子，灰袍少年忽然冷笑道。
手掌摸着脸庞，灰袍少年眉头皱了皱，低声嘀咕了几声，手掌一翻，一枚淡红色的丹药，出现在了掌心中。
“该死的复容丹，虽然能够让人返回到少年时的面容，可却仅仅只是表面，唉，若不是想要让加玛炼药师公会在他们国家内名誉大减，我们公会也不至于会花费这般大的精力，来炼制这种吃力不讨好的东西，而且想要恢复以前的容貌，还必须吃特定的丹药，这种消耗，太庞大了...”低声嘀咕着，灰袍少年将手中的淡红色塞进嘴中，微微嚼动，最后吞进肚内。
“这家伙果然有鬼...”望着房间中所发生的一幕，萧炎那盯着冰层的眼睛，缓缓睁大了起来。

Fortunately, the speed of the two human figures in midair was extremely fast. Even if one raised their head, he would merely see two black lines that flashed and disappeared.

Xiao Yan raised his head and eyed Fa Ma and Jia Lao who were seated comfortably on the huge roof. Clearly, they had been here for quite a while and were currently smiling as they eyed Hai Bo Dong and Xiao Yan who were hurrying over.
After sweeping over the roof, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong appeared by Fa Ma’s and Jia Lao’s side. The four pairs of eyes exchanged glances and all of them laughed quietly.
“I knew that you would follow.” Fa Ma smiled and said as he eyed Xiao Yan.

When his gaze watched Xiao Yan rushing over, he suddenly waved his sleeves and a soft force covered the point where Xiao Yan landed. This time around, the latter did not create even the slightest sound.
Xiao Yan nodded gratefully toward Fa Ma before quietly standing by Hai Bo Dong’s side. He knew that on such an occasion, he only needed to be an audience.
“Hei, this fellow seems to have made some preparations.” Jia Lao suddenly laughed coldly. At this moment, a spot some distance in front of his feet had an extremely fine black line stretched out. Xiao Yan looked over only to find that two tiny black colored bells were hung at the two ends of the black line.
“Small tricks.” A hand was waved and a ferocious force quietly floated over the air. The two black colored small bells did not even emit the slightest sound when they were shook to nothingness.
“Allow me.” Hai Bo Dong smiled. His shrivelled hand that was like rotten wood slowly extended out from his sleeves. A faint white colored fog was shrouding his hand. That icy cold air caused the surrounding temperature to instantly be reduced significantly.
As he pressed his palms gently downward, a white colored fog covered over the tile. Finally, it swiftly began spreading outward. In an instant, it shrouded the entire roof.
“Ice Mirror!” Eyeing the white colored fog that was shrouding the place, Hai Bo Dong softly cried out. The fog swiftly coagulated, finally turning into a layer of thin ice that covered the roof.
“Appear!” Hai Bo Dong once again cried out softly. Xiao Yan suddenly had a bizarre realization. This vast expanse of white, thin ice actually began to become illusionary. At one instance, a spacious room was projected on the thin ice, much like a movie being played, imprinting all the bodies within it clearly onto the ice layer.
Once he completed all this, Hai Bo Dong patted his hand. He eyed Xiao Yan’s astonished face and could not help but smile and explain, “It is just a little trick. I used the cold air to invade into the room. After which, it coalesced into ice fragments that are not easy to discover. Finally, the reflection of these ice fragments will project all that is within.”
“What a brilliant control over the ice.” Xiao Yan praised.
“It is only a little trick and only has this little effect. It isn’t worth mentioning.” Hai Bo Dong smiled as he waved his hand. Although this was what he spoke with his mouth, Hai Bo Dong did not hide the pride on his face.
With a smile, Xiao Yan threw his gaze toward the ice layer under his feet. Currently, the room was void of anyone. It was likely that the gray robed young man had yet to return.
“Let’s wait.” Once he said these words, Fa Ma sat cross-legged on the ice layer, closed his eyes and rested.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and nodded. He could only sit down. When he touched the ice layer, he did not sense the slightest cold air. It was likely that the low temperature on the ice had already been suppressed by Hai Bo Dong. Immediately, Xiao Yan once again thought even more highly of his ability to control ice.
As Xiao Yan and the others each became quiet, the roof descended into silence. When this silence persisted for nearly half an hour, the room’s door within the ice layer suddenly moved. Hai Bo Dong, who had his eyes tightly shut, was first to sense something and opened them. He pressed his hands down at Fa Ma and Jia Lao by the side, who had also sensed something. After which, he lowered his head and stared at the ice mirror.
After the room’s door moved, a gray robed person slowly walked in. That tender young man’s face was that of the dark horse who had been the most shocking person in the Grand Meeting today.
Seeing the gray robe man who had just entered, Xiao Yan involuntarily suppressed his breathing. He did not dare make the slightest movement with his body as his eyes stared intently at the other parties’ every movement.
Once the gray robed person entered the room, he did not do any strange actions. He shut the door properly and randomly washed up before sitting cross-legged on the bed to adjust his condition.
Xiao Yan knit his eyebrows slightly at the gray robed young man’s ordinary action. He licked his lips, turned his head and eyed Hai Bo Dong’s three man group who were still quietly waiting. Xiao Yan could only continue turning his gaze downward and patiently waited.
It was the dead of night after an hour had passed. The gray robed young man, who was adjusting his condition, suddenly opened his eyes. His dark and cold gaze slowly swept across the room. After which, he descended from the bed and gently closed all of the windows in the room. Finally, his hands were placed behind his back as he raised his head and swept his gaze to every corner of the room, engaging in a detailed scan of the beams above.
Standing on the roof, Xiao Yan eyed the gray robed young man who had raised his head and scanning the beams. He could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. As one could see the interior using the ice layer, it was as though the gray robed young man was staring at their group darkly and coldly while they watched him.
However, it was fortunate that this was an illusion on Xiao Yan’s part. Those ice fragments that Hai Bo Dong had fixed up were at very covert locations. Therefore, once he had swept his gaze once around, the gray robe young man heaved a sigh of relief.
“Humph, what a crappy Grand Meeting. Once I obtain the champion position here, I will make sure that the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association is disgraced. Once the association loses the trust of the alchemists, it will be finished!” The gray robe young man twisted his neck and suddenly said with a cold laugh.
The gray robe young man’s hand touched his face and frowned slightly as he softly mumbled something. With a flip of his palm, a pale-red colored medicinal pill appeared in it.
Damn ‘Appearance Recovery Pill’. Although it can allow one to returned to his appearance when he was young, it merely affects the surface. Ah, if it were not for wanting to reduce the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association within other countries, our association would not need to spend such a great effort to refine this kind of priceless thing. Moreover, if one wanted to recover one’s previous appearance, one would continually need to eat a specific medicinal pill. This kind of consumption is too large.” The gray robed young man softly muttered. He squeezed the pale-red colored medicinal pill into his mouth. He then made a slight chewing movement before swallowing it into his body.
“Sure enough, there is something fishy with this fellow.” As he watched the scene that had occurred within the room, the eyes that he used to stare at the ice layer slowly widened.

飞翔是很多武者修行前的目标和愿望。
人类受限于自身，一生处于世界最底下，说是井底之蛙也不为过。
直到有大能找到飞翔的方法，彻底改变这一切。
海阔天空，都不在话下。
人类摆脱地形的限制，解放自己的双脚。
不过飞行是很危险的，在万丈高空，哪怕是大尊者在没有任何防护下摔落下来都够呛。
故而安全可靠的飞行方式一直是修行之人追求的。
时至今日，在飞行时候以自身力量为辅，主要消耗天地灵气。
这样能够保证不会随随便便耗尽自身力量，也让在空中激战得到实现。
“怎么回事？ ！”
城主姜帆急急忙忙跑来，还以为有敌人来犯。
在看到江辰已经坐在广场上可以享受天地灵气不断冲刷的时候，愣在了原地。
姜帆闻所未闻，他当然知道天地间有很多修行的宝地，比起在其他地方事半功倍。
问题是那样的地方都是天然形成的。
人力根本不可能复制，顶多是通过灵石和阵法让某块小区域的灵气变得纯正。
江辰却让他府上的广场变成无数人梦寐以求的修行宝地。
问题是，城中其他人失去灵气，受到极大的影响。
尤其是一些灵丹师，没有灵气，他们的灵丹都无法出炉。
没过多久，城主府就聚集着不少人。
他们还以为是城主府在搞什么大动作，害得他们没有灵气使用。
“还从来没有听说过有哪个势力将天地灵气都占为己有啊。”
抱着这样的说法，城中的人们前来抗议。
事实上，是没有任何一个势力有能力将天地灵气变成自己的。
姜帆不知道该怎么办。
阻止江辰？
显然是不可能。
血誓说的很清楚，无条件，无限制。
只要他能吃得下。
还好整座紫云城都是姜家的，在城主府表示强硬的态度后，来闹事的人统统回去。
“看出什么来了没有？”
旋即，姜帆询问城主府的灵阵师。
“很显然，他通过阵法掠夺这片天地的灵气，但这不是普通的手段，需要很多很多珍贵的铁矿。”
灵阵师看出个大概，指着广场上的钢铁巨兽，道：“那里面混入紫金流砂，这才能撑得住这样大的动静。”
“这就是他选择紫云城的原因！” 姜帆气愤道。
紫云城建在此处，目的就是这里地底下有着丰盛的矿石！
“他这样就不算违背血誓！”
尤其是姜帆想到这点的时候，心情很复杂。
“族长恐怕犯了大错啊。”
虽然眼前的风公子只是灵尊，但不会想到他还有这些手段。
事实上，没有人能够想到。
根据灵阵师所说的，钢铁凶兽用掉的资源还是其次，使用的技术才是最重要的。
此时此刻，江辰站在钢铁凶兽的大嘴中。
天地间的灵气宛如洪流一样冲刷着着身子。
神体疯狂而又贪恋的吸收着，九霄神脉在体内绽放着广场。
整片神海都在沸腾。
他下面这头凶兽的来历，名叫饕餮，是贪婪的象征。
这种修行方法是非常奢侈的，哪怕是在圣域，也很少会有人使用。
往往都是在冲击着关键境界的时候才会使用。
对于这些，江辰根本不需要担心，更是不会心疼姜家的资源。
意外收获是，在承受着灵气淬炼的时候，江辰发现自己的神体有不少毛病。
这些小毛病平时不会发现，也可能终身不会影响到他。
可凡事总有意外，蚂蚁也能啃死大象，谁也不希望自己的身体留有隐患。
而且修复这些小毛病，能让神体达到无暇，将会得到巨大提升。
“天音，你还是错了，哪怕是拥有神脉，也不能太快。”
有些损坏是因为在一个月内从武尊达到灵尊，接连的突破再加上神体造成的。
尽管力量强大，却在体内深处留下隐患。
这些隐患几乎不易察觉，带来的影响会让一个人半真半假适应下来。
简单来说，如果把一个人的状态换算成一百分的话。
这些损坏会让江辰不知不觉下降到八十分甚至是七十分，他还不会察觉到问题所在。
等到以后成为大尊者乃至于更高的境界，就彻底没有办法。
还有一些毛病是江辰在荒禁之地留下来的。
他数次暴露在荒禁之地中，甚至还有一次在里面待了八个月！
尽管外表创伤得到修补，内在却是触目惊心。
“还好及时发现！”
江辰拿出自己的银针，分别扎在浑身各处。
疯狂的灵气顺着九根银针进入到他的体内，不断修复着他的身体。
没过多久，江辰的身体冒出白光，贴附在皮肤的表面。
“无暇神体！”
江辰意识到什么，心中大喜，一旦达到那个境界，说不定他可以和天尊抗衡。
“真是不小的动静啊。”
在城主府的人眼里，天地灵气浓郁到肉眼可以看到，又是凝聚一处，就像是连接天地的气柱。
江辰位于气柱最底部，身子发出白光。
尽管看不明白正在发生什么，但每个人都知道那不会是简单的事情。
不少人心生羡慕，也很想知道气柱中修炼看看是什么样子。
终于，在半个小时后，天地的异象消失，灵气终于不再被抽取。
紫云城的灵气从稀薄慢慢恢复着。
江辰身上的白光消失不见，在睁开双眼时，黑眸仿佛藏着整个宇宙。
无暇神体，达成。
他现在的感觉，妙不可言。
他把手伸到眼前，脸上渐渐露出喜悦之色。
“城主，明日之前，再准备一份相同的材料，还有这张纸上的灵药。”
旋即，江辰来到空中，朝着姜帆说道。
“什么？ 还要？
本来心疼不已的姜帆大吃一惊，连忙看向广场，那钢铁凶兽居然开始沙化，伴随着一阵风消失。
“这还是一次性？
！” 姜帆尖叫出声。

Jiang Fan felt complicated when he had realized this.

His divine body was absorbing them crazily and greedily. The Holy Pulses of Nine Clouds in his body were greatly stimulated.
The whole Holy Sea of his was boiling.
The fierce beast below him was called Taotie. It symbolized gluttony.
This type of practicing method was really a luxury. It was even hardly used in the Sacred Zone.

He felt fantastic.
He looked at his hands while extending them. Slowly, his face lit up with joy.
“Lord, please get the same things prepared before tomorrow. And the spiritual herbals listed on this piece of paper, too.”
Then, flying into the air, Jiang Chen said to Jiang Fan.
“What? You want more?!”
The consumption of those resources had made Jiang Fan’s heart ache. By then he was greatly surprised again. He hurried to look towards the square,
the wind.
“It’s only for a single use?!” Jiang Fan shrieked.

All of a sudden, a splashing sound drifted through the hole in the cabin, before a rotting green liquid covered palm extended out to cover the gap. Then, it climbed back up through the broken wall!\nThis merchant ship was an open ocean ship, the wood material used was of top quality and was specially reinforced. Although this was the case, a crunching sound could be heard from outside. After the decaying undead emerged from the water, it drilled its hands into the wall of the ship and ascended it with brute force. It then reentered the ship with a large amount of seawater flowing off it.\nDong! Dong! Dong! It dragged its broken right leg while unleashing a miserable and crazed shriek, and charged towards Sheyan.\nAfter rinsing with seawater, the stench from this decaying undead had lessened substantially. Moreover, its body had undergone certain changes. The injured burnt portion of its head now looked like a melted candle. While charging, its momentum caused the rotting green liquid covering its entire body, to spurt out; exhibiting an exceedingly heinous appearance brimming with immense threat.\nDespite barrelling in at a fast speed, the decaying undead did an apparent pre-charge action which allowed Sheyan to simply pinpoint its destination and evaded easily. After knocking consecutively for a few times, smashing fruitlessly inside this unlucky merchant ship, the decaying undead utterly decimated the wooden walls of the cabin.\nOnce again, the decaying undead bent forward to charge. Instead this time, Sheyan fished out something he had already prepared from his waist. That was a string lasso that was commonly seen on a pirate ship. Its noose was extremely durable and tough, and the twin ends of the rope were tied together like a stone; giving of a shape that looked like a dumbbell. During naval boardings, it was used to fling onto enemy ships to latch onto anything sticking out. Thus, the pirates could use it as a passageway to get onto the enemy ship.\nSheyan gently bent his waist while whirling the lasso in loops. Next, he hurled it with strength. The lasso rapidly uncoiled in midair; in a flash, it flew across and latched onto the bulky thighs of the decaying undead! The lasso spiralled round the thighs before tightening, binding completely the thighs of the decaying undead!\nIn response, the decaying undead issued a vicious roar alongside the rope tightening sounds from the binding lasso. This unfortunate beast could no longer take one step further, as its cumbersome body collapsed to the ground with a loud thud!\nThis decaying undead was without its fearsome hatchet, in addition to its immobile right leg, its speed had dipped greatly. That was why Sheyan could act in this manner. If it had the gigantic hatchet, its attack range and explosive power would be insanely boosted. If Sheyan had unleashed the lasso then, the first possibility was that the lasso could be easily parried away by the gigantic axe head. The second worse possibility was that the lasso would be easily sliced by the hatchet!\nThe decaying undead struggled frantically on the floorboard, without intelligence it did not know how to undo or loosen the lasso; where its aggressive struggling only resulted in the lasso tightening further.\nSheyan gently examined the decaying undead. He then turned around and headed out to the deck. Very swiftly, he carried a barrel and returned. The liquid within the barrel gave off a piercing odour and rippled with viscosity. Indeed, it was kerosene that could be used to set ablaze enemy ships.\nSheyan placed the barrel approximately 4 metres away from the decaying undead, before proceeding to kick it over; allowing the viscous kerosene to flow towards the decaying undead. The viscous kerosene started mixing against this crippled decaying undead, its oily nature caused the undead’s struggle to be further in vain.\nHe then spun round to ascend the flight of stairs leading to the deck, at the same time closing the cabin door. Before closing the door, a flaming torch was tossed over; rotating a few rounds in mid air, the torch finally resting before the decaying undead’s face.\nA raging inferno surged upwards, swallowing everything in a matter of seconds.\nSheyan walked out drenched in blood, behind him smoke continued billowing out. One pirate hurriedly rushed over and opened his mouth to speak, but when Sheyan glanced at him, he became intimidated by his fiery glare. After a while he finally muttered out softly.\n“Crew… crew head, the captain and chief mate are inviting you over.\n“Chief mate?”\n“Yes, chief mate Harry has regained consciousness, he doesn’t look very bad. Navigator Xiaer has examined him, he should be fine after resting for a few days.” Sheyan gently nodded his head, and softly replied.\n“The goods on the merchant ship are almost done shifting, I will go over once I settle this trifling matter.”\nTo Ammand, Scarface Harry turning out fine was like a cardiac stimulant. As long as this loyal and formidable viking remained, Ammand would once again occupy superiority over his crew. He no longer needed to worry about Robben solidifying his second mate position. The valiant Scarface Harry was a formidable chief mate, the mediocre Robben would undoubtedly be marginalized by him easily, thereby lowering his influence.\nNevertheless, Sheyan had no plans, and could not remain on the Bell and Mug forever, his earlier spectacle was only to gain more benefits, that’s all.\nThe fire beneath gradually extinguished, Sheyan once again opened the door to enter. The cabin floor was thoroughly burnt, as seawater gushed in through the holes, rapidly filling up the entire cabin.

Sheyan bent his waist, scooping up a glowing light blue key, he then received the nightmare imprint’s notification.\nSheyan observed the notification, his heart plagued with several regrets. Because this decaying undead had already suffered medium degree injuries before he eliminated it. That was why the dropped key reward was only light blue.\nBased on his previous report, the realm encouraged contestants teaming up to engage in battles. Therefore from this reasoning, if Sheyan had formed a party with him as the authority, then killing a perfect state decaying undead wouldn’t be impossible. He may even have received a deep blue key rather than a light blue key, which may even produce weapons that were similar to that terrifying gigantic hatchet. But more or less, the victory rewards would be split up between 7-8 people.\nMore importantly, 7-8 people can already be considered a medium sized party. Under the previous scenario, leading a small party of 2-3 people would already produce certain difficulties. How was he going to achieve the commanding privileges of a medium sized party so easily?

第二十三章 黑色任务！
就在这个时候，船舱破口处的海水“哗啦”的一响，伸出了一只密布伤口，流淌着腐烂绿水的巨掌，一把扒住了破烂的船壁！
这艘大型商船乃是远洋航船，所采用的木料都是一等一外加经过特别加固的的，饶是如此，那船壁的边缘却还是被扒得“嘎吱嘎吱”作响，紧接着，腐魂尸这头巨大的怪物便浮出了水面，将手一按用力一跃，便带着大量的海水跳进了船舱。
它发出了一声凄厉无比的狂吼，“咚咚咚”的拖着断掉的右脚就对着方森岩直撞了过来。
被海水浸泡之后，这头腐魂尸身上的臭气被冲淡了不少，而它身上也出现了某些变化，头部受伤的地方似是烧熔的蜡烛那样有着融化的迹象。 在奔跑的时候浑身上下腐臭的绿浆四处飞溅，看起来既是恶心，又充满了十分强大的威势。
然而腐魂尸尽管冲撞的速度极快，却在冲撞之前会做出一个十分明显的准备动作，这使得方森岩能够很轻松的确认它的意图进行闪避。 这头怪物连续冲撞了几次，在这艘倒霉的商船中横冲直撞，将底舱的板壁破坏得一塌糊涂。
当腐魂尸再一次俯身下来试图冲撞的时候，方森岩忽的在腰间取出了一件早就预备好的东西，那便是在海盗船上相当常见的石弹套索，这东西说穿了就是一根结实的粗索，绳索的两端都系着石块，呈现出哑铃的大致形状，在接舷战的时候挥舞着抛掷向敌船上，既能杀伤敌人，一旦落空也可能起到顺势缠绕住敌船上突起物体的效果，然后就可以形成快速借力的通道迅速登船。 方森岩微微弯腰，然后就将这根套索横向旋转舞动着，然后用力抛了出去。
套索在空中快速旋转着，瞬间就缠绕上了腐魂尸的两条粗壮的大腿！ 套索两端的石块在空中盘旋围绕，恰好将这两条大腿绑缚结结实实。
腐魂尸发出了一声凄厉无比的怒吼，套索在瞬间也被绷紧得“咯吱咯吱”的作响，但这头倒霉的怪物的步子依然没能迈得出去，整个庞大的躯体再次向下重重摔倒，发出了“砰”的巨响！
此时的腐魂尸没有了那把可怕的巨斧，更是因为右脚折断而损失了很大一部分的速度，所以方森岩才敢使出这样的伎俩，若是它巨斧在手，无论是攻击范围还是爆发力都会呈现出十分疯狂的趋势，方森岩那时候投掷套索的话，第一可能就是套索被那把巨斧轻描淡写的挂飞，更坏的可能则是他在投出套索的同时就被巨斧斩中！
腐魂尸在舱板上疯狂的挣扎着，没有智慧的它不知道去解开腿上的绑缚，而只是疯狂的用蛮力挣扎着，这样做的唯一后果就是套索被它的体液所浸透，进而越收越紧。
方森岩淡淡的看了它一眼，然后转头向着甲板上走去，很快就吃力的提着一个大桶走了过来。 那桶中的液体散发着刺鼻的气息，粘稠的荡漾着，当中盛着的赫然是专门用来焚烧敌船的火油。
方森岩将大桶提到了距离腐魂尸大概四米之外的地方，然后一脚将桶踢倒，粘稠的火油立即向着它汩汩的流淌了过去。 粘稠的火油同这头残缺的腐魂尸混合在了一起，有效的起到了润滑的作用，使得它的挣扎更显得徒劳无功。
“阿门。” 然后转身就登上了通向上层的阶梯，顺手拉上了舱门，在舱门闭合的瞬间，那一支火把被抛了过来，在空中旋转翻动着，由远而近的落在了腐魂尸的脸前。
熊熊烈火腾飞而起，瞬间就将一切都为之吞没。
方森岩浑身浴血的走了出来，背后隐隐还有烟火腾飞。
“水……水手长，船长和大副请你过去。
“大副？
“不错，亨利大副已经醒转来了，看起来没什么大碍。 夏尔领航员也检查过了，说是修养几天就行。
“这商船上的货物很快就会被搬空了，我将这些琐事布置妥当再过去。
只要这个忠心耿耿的强大维京人健在，那么毫无疑问阿芒德重新又占据了上风，此时哪怕罗本在二副的位置上稳若泰山也是无济于事了，在刀疤亨利这个强悍更是强势的大副面前，能力平庸的他毫无疑问会被边缘化，并且影响力降低到最低。
不过好在方森岩也并不打算（也不能）在铃铛与酒杯号上呆一辈子，他截止到目前为止做的所有事情都是为了捞到更多的好处，仅此而已。
底舱的大火渐渐熄灭，方森岩重新打开了舱门走了进去，那里的船底已经被烧穿，海水欢快的涌了进来，迅速的蔓延向了底舱的四面八方，腐魂尸被焚烧得也相当的彻底，仅仅留下了一小堆的黑色灰烬，很快就彻底的消失在了海水当中。
方森岩看着提示，心中却是不禁有些遗憾，因为这头腐魂尸乃是在受到了中度伤势以后才被自己杀掉的，所以掉落的钥匙品质也只有淡蓝色而已。
按照之前获得的情报分析，空间是鼓励契约者以团队的方式进行战斗，那么从理论上来说，若是方森岩能够拥有一个团队的支配权，那么击杀完好形态的腐魂尸也不是不可能的，获得深蓝色或者黑色钥匙甚至将它的那把标志性巨斧爆出来也有相当大的可能－－－－－－但相应的是战利品也至少都是七八个人来分！
更重要的是，七八个人当前来说已经可以算作是一个中型的团队，在目前的状况下，方森岩主导一个2~3人的小型团队都有些困难，何况是要取得中型团队的支配权？
因此暂时独行的收益显然会更加丰富一些！ 一念及此，方森岩的唇角露出了一抹冷笑。
你获得了物品：还在跳动的心脏。
这颗心脏尽管呈现出了腐败的迹象，但它依然在顽强的跳动！ 这当真是一个不可思议的奇迹，无论是飞翔荷兰人号上的二副老巴里，还是安妮女王复仇号上的船长黑胡子都对这东西很有兴趣，请你自己决定要将之交给谁吧。
你获得了深蓝色能力卷轴：伏都教基础黑巫术lv3。
伏都教基础黑巫术lv3：学习本能力必须达到基础祈祷lv4,基础冥想lv4，智力25点以上。
学习后效果：使你的伏都教基础黑巫术效果（包括威力/持续时间）提升10%。
学习后效果：使你拥有学习更高级的伏都教黑巫术的能力。 在完成相关任务后能使你掌握黑暗诅咒能力:消耗施法材料对五米内的某一名敌人进行诅咒，令其灵魂和肉体同时受到折磨，在十秒内造成总计20+精神值x4伤害。
提示：若你释放诅咒时未处于目标视野范围内，将不会进入战斗状态，也不会被梦魇印记提示发现。
装备要求：力量值8点，生命值10点。
重量：4克。
说明：这是用人的一节一节腐朽的指骨串联而成的指环，上面甚至还有一股令人作呕的气味。 愿上帝保佑你不会被那些冤魂所纠缠。
这把浅蓝色的钥匙居然开出了一张深蓝色属性的卷轴/一个黑色级别的任务道具，这样的小概率事件无疑是令方森岩得到了一定惊喜的。
而这只朽骨之环则是在方森岩的预期之中，似腐魂尸这种力量变态的怪物，多半也应该会掉落与力量相关的装备才对。 他此时又想起了做掉那名港口守卫“骰子“库特斯的那只需要鉴定的黄铜指环，也不知道具体属性究竟是什么。

Chapter 67: Black colored mission!
Seizing this hard earned break, Sheyan immediately used the hamburger he got previously, rapidly replenishing his HP to above 80 points.

Unlike the mysterious and majestic image he had in mind, this place had a trace of worldly flavor instead!\nExtending out from both directions of the main hall is spacious channels used for commercial use. Filled with odd looking shops, these businesses specialized in trading magic materials and tools.\nBut unlike the rest of the continent, these shops inside the magic unions headquarter do not use any currency for trading; instead, they only allow bartering! Yes, the most ancient form of trading, bartering!\nOn this point, Du Wei was very curious and interested.\nDifferent from the other magic shops spread among the other branches, this was the only place left on the whole continent that still adheres to this old domestic practice.\nTaking a few casual steps forward, all of the silver robed magic apprentices that he encountered hastily stopped what they were doing and bowed to show their respect. However, unlike the silver robed magic apprentices, the gray robed mages that he saw would instead show a face of surprise at first. Then, with a smile, they would nod and perform a ritualistic bow to him.\nIt seems that Clark did not lie about the part where every Mage of the sixth rank and lower has to pay their respect to him.\nSince he is not in any hurry to see the president of the magic union anyways, Du Wei thought he might as well take a look around the place. In truth, he actually didn’t know how he was going to meet the president.\nOnce he was up close and personal in front of these shops, he realized they weren’t all that big. Like sealed rooms inside a giant apartment building, they were all constructed out of strange materials next to each other. For example: one of the shops closest to him was made out of some strange black stone exuding some weird smoke into the air. Even stranger, the smoke would dissipate when it reaches the artificial sky in the ceiling!\nLooking over the display window, Du Wei could see densely packed displays of crystal balls ranging from a variety of qualities. This weird shop clearly specializes in selling magic crystal balls for magicians.\nUnable to hold his curiosity, Du Wei decided to head inside to have a closer look. The moment he walked in, what welcomed him was the sight of an old man with a beard so long that it nearly reached his chest. From appearance alone, this silver robed old fella could even be qualified to be his grandfather.\nLooking up, the store clerk had a somewhat surprised look on his face before hastily bowing. Then in a respectful tone, the old fella said: “Oh respected magician, may I ask what you need?”\nWith a kind face, Du Wei spoke in a polite tone towards this senior magic apprentice: “I need a crystal ball… … Hmm.”\n“Oh, let me see……” The eyes of the senior looked somewhat muddy already, but he pulled out a form and handed it to Du Wei. Then, with a face full of wrinkles, the senior smiled: “May I know what kind you need? A crystal ball to test the level of magic? Oh, a Mage like you must be getting ready to accept disciples, right? I have a good magic testing crystal ball here. With it, you can clearly test the kid’s magic talent… … Oh. I also have a detection crystal ball here. If you are preparing to go on an adventure, you might as well buy one then. Once you inject some magic energy into the crystal, the image of the nearby surroundings would appear inside the crystal… … Of course, if you need something more advanced, I also have a magnetic black crystal ball. With it, everything within a 10 mile radius would be displayed in front of you. But in exchange, the prices are slightly more expensive…… ”\nDu Wei was getting more curious: “What else do you have?”\n“Of course!” The senior apprentice had a look of pride when he said this: “This place here is the oldest crystal ball shop in the magic union headquarters. You need to know, the current president of the magic union got his first crystal ball from us when he was still a lad. The one to sell it to him was my father at the time! We have all sorts of styles…. May I know which one you need?”\nAlthough his magic isn’t bad, but Du Wei after all never learned from a proper teacher, so his knowledge is incomplete at the moment. Regarding a magic tool like a crystal ball, he really didn’t have much knowledge.\nThinking it over, Du Wei smiled and said: “Dear sir, I just became a magician and is readying myself to buy my first crystal ball. Do you have any advice?”\nThe senior apprentice paused for a moment as he stared at Du Wei’s black robe. Then moving his old mouth: “Oh… … Can it be that a Magic Scholar like you never used a crystal ball before?”\nDu Wei smiles: “I just became magician.”\n“……” Hesitating, the old apprentice spoke his next words carefully in a polite tone: “May I ask which kind of magic you are practicing?”\n“There is a difference?” Du Wei questioned.\n“Certainly, if you majored in the fire department, I have here a crystal ball capable of enhancing the power of fire auxiliary magic. And if you majored in the water department, I have here a water summoning crystal. Even if you are in a dessert, this tool would allow you to summon a certain amount of water and boost your control….. Hmm, let me think….. Alas, my age is getting old and my brain doesn’t work as well as before. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Here, I still have some wind based magic crystals. Unfortunately, these things are only of low quality and could only predict the wind direction.”\nDu Wei thought for a moment before smiling: “What if is dark magic?”\nExamining Du Wei a bit, the old senior sighed before speaking: “Ah… … Dark magic… … Right now, the numbers of Mages practicing dark magic is not much… Let me think for a bit……”\nAfter a long pause, a spark of light crossed the senior’s eyes. Then, with a laugh, the guy said: “I remember now. I still have something here dedicated to people specializing in dark magic. It’s just that the thing has been here collecting dust for decades without anyone to buy. This thing is called a “Dead spirit detection crystal ball”. If you are in need of dead spirits to practice dark magic, you can use this tool to locate spirits that refused to pass on.”\nDu Wei could not help but twitch a bit!\nCollecting dead spirits to refine them into undead creatures?’\nThen wouldn’t that undead creature Mage Clark summoned is something he personally refined?\nTo do something so evil….. Can it be that the magic unions also permit such thing?\nSeeing the difference in colors on Du Wei’s face, the old apprentice quickly added: “But I have to remind you that if you want to buy this crystal ball… You must first sign a contract with me.”\n“Contract?”\n“Of course!” The old apprentice looked even more confused… … Despite wearing a high ranking mage robe, this little guy seems like he is completely ignorant of these basic facts?\nIf not for the magic array set around the headquarters, this old fella really would have thought Du Wei was an imposter!\n“Although the method of refining spirits into undead creatures is sanctioned by the magic union, but there are many restrictions in place that limits the user. For example: in order to collect spirits, the dark mage can only collect spirits that refuses to pass on into the afterlife. Under no circumstance can the person in question go on a killing spree to collect dead spirits. So if you want to purchase this crystal ball from me, you must first sign a contract stating that if you violate any of these rules, our store bares no responsibility!”\nAfter he finishes his speech, the old apprentice stole a glance at Du Wei.\nDu Wei can’t be blamed for not know any of this because he really never was taught any of this from a proper teacher.\nWithin the union, dark magic has always been a topic that causes people to feel embarrassed and hard to face.\nIn particular, there is a class of magician that the union strictly prohibits. If such a Mage is found, the Union would expend every effort within their powers to exterminate! Dark Necromancer.\nAlthough dark magic allows for the Mage in question to use spirits to create undead creatures, but they are absolutely not allowed to use living people to refine their arts!\nHistorically, there are evil dark Mages that would be willing to go on a random killing spree in order to selfishly pursue their goal for power. In some severe cases, even towns or cities would be annihilated in order for the Dark Necromancer to refine his undead creature!\nSo, the difference between a dark Mage and a Dark Necromancer is only on this thin line.\nIf on occasion a mage captures a dead spirit refusing to pass on and haunts the mortal world, this would even be considered a good deed.\nAs for going on a slaughtering fest to refine undead creatures, this would be considered evil.\nAfter the old apprentice’s introduction, Du Wei could somehow grasp the logic behind it. But just when he was about to leave, some weird thought popped into his mind and he unconsciously said: “Well then, I’ll buy this dark crystal ball.”\nThis action of his could be considered a spur of the moment because if he didn’t buy anything from the clerk after wasting so much time, he would feel somewhat embarrassed\nAlthough at the present he couldn’t perform any dark magic, but it would still be good to take it back to study.\nAfter bargaining, Du Wei used two blocks of fine Hawkweed drill, plus a pound of magic crystals used for magic circles to trade. Since he gained quite the fortune lately, he didn’t mind because all of these were from others.\nOnce the contract was signed, the old apprentice was very happy as he picked up the rusted colored bell behind the counter. With a few shakes, a vague wave of magic infused music wafted out.\nMoments later, another silver robed apprentice rushed in; but this time, the person was much younger with a six pointed star badge on his chest. Still sweating from his forehead, this youngster spoke with a slight smile: “Old father Hans, you called me?”\n“This… … I sold a dark attribute magic tool. This is the contract. Take it and bring it back to the records.” The old apprentice faintly smiles.\nThis young apprentice is clearly a worker of the magic union. With only a glance at Du Wei, the youngster bowed in respect and careful put the contract away, then turning around, the guy left.\nDu Wei was also quite curious regarding this status system in the magic union, but without reason to ask, he turned and left.\nHolding onto the black box with the crystal ball inside, he threw it into his magic bag like the rest of his belongings.\nBut often in history, these little episodes are what create big changes in trends…… This little crystal ball may not seem like much now, but in the future, it will be the key in a world changing event."

第一百二十二章
那些穿着银色袍子地魔法学徒,都是紧张地走来走去,忙碌着。 有地手里抱着厚厚高高地羊皮卷宗,有地甚至施展提着水桶正在做着清扫工作——唯一不同地是,他们不需要亲自动手,就连那些清扫地工具,扫把或者水桶,都是魔法道具,只要念动咒语,就可以自动开始清扫工作,而这些忙碌地魔法学徒们,只有留神控制就可以了。
走进了这个大厅,最让杜维感到不同地是…这个魔法工会地总部,并不像自己想象中地那么威严和神秘…反而,却带着一丝世俗地味道！
两边延伸出去地两道宽敞地通道,两旁全部都是一些古怪地店铺。 里面出售各种各样奇怪地魔法材料,魔法道具,甚至还有一些特殊地古薰之类地东西。
这些店铺全部都是魔法师们喜欢地的方,全部都是由魔法工会开设地,全大陆各的地魔法师们,都可以在这里采购自己需要地各种魔法材料。
这点让杜维感到非常地好奇和有趣。
因为,这个的方,是全大陆最后一个保存着以货异货习俗地的方了。
以货易货。 杜维随便走了几步,周围所有遇到地人,那些穿着银色长袍地魔法学徒们,远远地看见了杜维一身黑衣,都赶紧停下手里地工作,远远地就弯腰,恭敬地施理。 而偶尔走过地一两个穿着灰色袍子地魔法师,看见杜维,都是先一脸惊讶,然后也纷纷地点头。
看来克拉克没有说谎,这个魔法学士地的位果然超然,六级以下地魔法师都要对自己恭敬施礼。
杜维反正不着急去见魔法工会主席——事实上他也不知道怎么去见主席。 反正没有什么着急地事情,倒是对旁边地这些魔法道具商店产生了浓厚地兴趣。
比如身边地这家店铺,却是用一种黑色地散发着古怪味道地石头建造地一个大房子,房子的顶部居然还有烟。 冒着阵阵地黑烟,这黑烟从烟里冒出去,到了头顶地那个用魔法造出来地仿佛天空一样地幻象之中,居然也就散去地！
显然。 这是一个专门出售魔法师专用地水晶球地店铺。
店铺里站着一个年纪恐怕都可以当杜维地祖父地老头了,却依然穿着一件银色地魔法学徒地长袍,长长地胡须都几乎拖到了胸口,看见杜维进来,虽然杜维年纪比他小了不知道多少,却依然赶紧对着杜维低头施礼,然后用干涩的声音。
恭恭敬敬道：“尊敬地魔法师阁下,请问您需要什么？”
杜维脸色和蔼,对这个年老的魔法学徒很是客气：“我需要一个水晶球…嗯。”
“哦,让我看看…”老学徒眼神都有些浑浊了,不过却依然拿出了一份表格来递给了杜维,犹如风干了地桔子皮一样地脸上满是皱纹,却堆起笑脸：“不知道您需要什么样式地？ 是魔力测试球么？
杜维心中越发地好奇了：“还有么？”
“当然！” 老学徒一脸骄傲：“我这里是魔法工会里最古老地水晶球店铺了！
杜维虽然魔力本事不差,但是毕竟没有系统地学习过正规地魔法知识,对这些魔法道具地认识,也多半都是从那些乱七八糟地书里,东一点西一点地临乱看来地,对水晶球这些魔法道具地知识还真地是不多。
想了一下,他苦笑道：“这位老先生,我也是刚刚成为魔法师,准备购买自己地第一个水晶球,所以,我也不知道自己需要什么？ 您有什么建议么？”
老学徒愣了一下,看着杜维地黑色长袍,张了张嘴巴：“哦…您,您这样地魔法学士大人,从前难道没有用过水晶球么？”
却只是刚刚成为魔法师…倒是很奇怪啊。
“这样…”老学徒犹豫了一下,脸上地笑容更是客气：“请问您,是主修炼哪一系魔法的呢？”
“有区别么？” 杜维问道。
如果您是修炼地水系魔法,我这还有一种水系召唤球。 就算您在干燥地西北荒原里,也能增强魔力召唤幅度,能探测出的下地水援,从而抽取水元素…呃,让我想想…唉,年纪老了,脑子就不太好了,差点忘记了,我这里还有几个风系地水晶球,不过只能是低级的预测球。 能预测天空地云层波动,预测方圆百里内地大风。
杜维想了想,笑道：“如果是黑暗系魔法呢？”
老学徒眼角微微一跳,眼神里露出了一丝畏惧,他上下打量了杜维一眼,叹了口气：“唉…黑暗系魔法…现在修炼黑暗系魔法地魔法师可是不多了啊。
过了片刻,他忽然眼睛一亮,笑道：“我想起来了,我这里倒是有一个黑暗系魔法师专用地东西,不过却是几十年地老古董啦,放在这里一直没有人来买。 这是一个‘亡灵搜索球’。
杜维不由得身子一抖！
搜集死去没散去地幽魂？ 炼制死灵生物？
这么说,那个克拉克法师召唤出来地死灵武士,也是自己炼制出来的？
这样做…这么邪恶地事情,难道魔法工会也是许可地？
看见杜维地脸色有异,这个老学徒赶紧补充道：“不过,我必须要提醒您,您如果要购买这个水晶球。 必须要先在我这里签订一份契约。”
“契约？”
“当然！” 老学徒脸色越发疑惑了…这个小家伙,身穿的位崇高地魔法学士地袍子。
如果不是因为在魔法工会有魔法阵地保护,外人根本无法冒充进来地话…老学徒恐怕真的会以为杜维是冒充来地呢！
就算追究责任,也不会追究到我地身上。 魔法工会有规定,所有地黑暗系地魔法道具,在购买之前都要签订契约地。
老学徒说完,偷偷看了杜维一眼。
也不怪杜维对这些不明白,他毕竟没有真正地系统学习过魔法体系。
在魔法工会里,黑暗系地魔法向来就是一种让人觉得很尴尬和很暧昧地存在。
尤其是有一种魔法师,是绝对地被魔法工会严格禁止地邪恶地存在,一旦发现,那么就算花费再多地努力,也一定要将其消灭地邪恶魔法师！
虽然黑暗魔法之中,可以允许魔法师用死而不散地那些亡魂来进行炼制。 但是绝对不允许用活人炼制！
历史上就有一些邪恶地黑暗魔法师,为了追求强大地力量,而生出邪念来,往往为了一己之私,用自己强大地实力,随意杀死普通地人,甚至历史上有一些邪恶地强者,会动辄就屠村灭镇,甚至杀死一个城市里所有地人,然后把所有地人都炼制成死亡生物供自己驱使！
所以,黑暗魔法师和邪恶地亡灵法师,差别就在这一线之间。
如果你只是偶尔捕捉到一两个死后不散地幽魂,那种被怨气所充斥地死后不散地亡魂,反而会危害人间,你把它们捕捉了来,炼制成自己地死灵生物,那么不但不会怪罪里,反而被认为是好事。
而屠杀生灵而炼制死灵生物,那么就是邪恶。
正准备离去,却不知道怎么地,忽然心中一动,鬼使神差一样地,道：“那么,我就买下你这里地那个黑暗系地水晶球吧。”
这完全是杜维内心随意动地一个念头,也隐隐地有自己问了半天,如果一个东西不买离去地话,未免有些不好意思。
虽然他现在并没有修炼什么黑暗系地魔法,但是买一个回去研究一下,也是兴趣所至。
一番讨价还价之后,杜维用两块上等水兰钻,加上一斤布置魔法阵用地魔法水晶,换到了这个水晶球。
签订了一份羊皮卷宗地契约,老学徒很是高兴,他随手拿起了柜台后面地一只已经锈得看不出本来颜色地铃铛,晃动了几下,一股带着隐隐地魔力波动地音乐就飘了出去。
片刻之后,一个身穿银色魔法学徒长袍地年轻人跑了进来,胸口憋着一枚其他地六芒星徽章,额头上微微带着汗水,进来就笑道：“汉斯老爹,你喊我么？”
“这个…我卖掉了一件黑暗系地道具,这个是契约,你带回去备案吧。” 老学徒微笑。
这个年轻地学徒显然是魔法工会里地工作人员了,看了杜维一眼,赶紧弯腰施礼,小心翼翼地收好了杜维签署地那份契约,然后离开了。
杜维对这种魔法工会里地制度很是好奇,不过也不好意多问,随后也离开了。
那个黑墨装地水晶球也随手丢进了身上挟带地魔法包袱里。
但历史,往往就是如此。 一枚小小地黑暗系地水晶球,隐隐地,对杜维地人生,仿佛也会产生一丝细微地改变,而这一丝改变,现在,还看不出什么端倪。

Chapter 122
The 122th chapter “A little interlude of change”
Walking into the main hall, Du Wei could instantly feel this place was different from his imagination…. Unlike the mysterious and majestic image he had in mind, this place had a trace of worldly flavor instead!
Extending out from both directions of the main hall is spacious channels used for commercial use. Filled with odd looking shops, these businesses specialized in trading magic materials and tools.
But unlike the rest of the continent, these shops inside the magic unions headquarter do not use any currency for trading; instead, they only allow bartering! Yes, the most ancient form of trading, bartering!
On this point, Du Wei was very curious and interested.
Different from the other magic shops spread among the other branches, this was the only place left on the whole continent that still adheres to this old domestic practice.
Taking a few casual steps forward, all of the silver robed magic apprentices that he encountered hastily stopped what they were doing and bowed to show their respect. However, unlike the silver robed magic apprentices, the gray robed mages that he saw would instead show a face of surprise at first. Then, with a smile, they would nod and perform a ritualistic bow to him.
It seems that Clark did not lie about the part where every Mage of the sixth rank and lower has to pay their respect to him.
Since he is not in any hurry to see the president of the magic union anyways, Du Wei thought he might as well take a look around the place. In truth, he actually didn’t know how he was going to meet the president.
Once he was up close and personal in front of these shops, he realized they weren’t all that big. Like sealed rooms inside a giant apartment building, they were all constructed out of strange materials next to each other. For example: one of the shops closest to him was made out of some strange black stone exuding some weird smoke into the air. Even stranger, the smoke would dissipate when it reaches the artificial sky in the ceiling!
Looking over the display window, Du Wei could see densely packed displays of crystal balls ranging from a variety of qualities. This weird shop clearly specializes in selling magic crystal balls for magicians.
Unable to hold his curiosity, Du Wei decided to head inside to have a closer look. The moment he walked in, what welcomed him was the sight of an old man with a beard so long that it nearly reached his chest. From appearance alone, this silver robed old fella could even be qualified to be his grandfather.
Looking up, the store clerk had a somewhat surprised look on his face before hastily bowing. Then in a respectful tone, the old fella said: “Oh respected magician, may I ask what you need?”
With a kind face, Du Wei spoke in a polite tone towards this senior magic apprentice: “I need a crystal ball… … Hmm.”
“Oh, let me see……” The eyes of the senior looked somewhat muddy already, but he pulled out a form and handed it to Du Wei. Then, with a face full of wrinkles, the senior smiled: “May I know what kind you need? A crystal ball to test the level of magic? Oh, a Mage like you must be getting ready to accept disciples, right? I have a good magic testing crystal ball here. With it, you can clearly test the kid’s magic talent… … Oh. I also have a detection crystal ball here. If you are preparing to go on an adventure, you might as well buy one then. Once you inject some magic energy into the crystal, the image of the nearby surroundings would appear inside the crystal… … Of course, if you need something more advanced, I also have a magnetic black crystal ball.

Du Wei was getting more curious: “What else do you have?”
“Of course!” The senior apprentice had a look of pride when he said this: “This place here is the oldest crystal ball shop in the magic union headquarters.

Du Wei smiles: “I just became magician.”
“……” Hesitating, the old apprentice spoke his next words carefully in a polite tone: “May I ask which kind of magic you are practicing?”
“There is a difference?” Du Wei questioned.
“Certainly, if you majored in the fire department, I have here a crystal ball capable of enhancing the power of fire auxiliary magic. And if you majored in the water department, I have here a water summoning crystal. Even if you are in a dessert, this tool would allow you to summon a certain amount of water and boost your control….. Hmm, let me think….. Alas, my age is getting old and my brain doesn’t work as well as before. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Here, I still have some wind based magic crystals. Unfortunately, these things are only of low quality and could only predict the wind direction.”
Du Wei thought for a moment before smiling: “What if is dark magic?”
Examining Du Wei a bit, the old senior sighed before speaking: “Ah… … Dark magic… … Right now, the numbers of Mages practicing dark magic is not much… Let me think for a bit……”
After a long pause, a spark of light crossed the senior’s eyes. Then, with a laugh, the guy said: “I remember now. I still have something here dedicated to people specializing in dark magic. It’s just that the thing has been here collecting dust for decades without anyone to buy. This thing is called a “Dead spirit detection crystal ball”. If you are in need of dead spirits to practice dark magic, you can use this tool to locate spirits that refused to pass on.”
Du Wei could not help but twitch a bit!
Collecting dead spirits to refine them into undead creatures?’
Then wouldn’t that undead creature Mage Clark summoned is something he personally refined?
To do something so evil….. Can it be that the magic unions also permit such thing?
Seeing the difference in colors on Du Wei’s face, the old apprentice quickly added: “But I have to remind you that if you want to buy this crystal ball… You must first sign a contract with me.”
“Contract?”
“Of course!” The old apprentice looked even more confused… … Despite wearing a high ranking mage robe, this little guy seems like he is completely ignorant of these basic facts?
If not for the magic array set around the headquarters, this old fella really would have thought Du Wei was an imposter!
“Although the method of refining spirits into undead creatures is sanctioned by the magic union, but there are many restrictions in place that limits the user. For example: in order to collect spirits, the dark mage can only collect spirits that refuses to pass on into the afterlife. Under no circumstance can the person in question go on a killing spree to collect dead spirits. So if you want to purchase this crystal ball from me, you must first sign a contract stating that if you violate any of these rules, our store bares no responsibility!”
After he finishes his speech, the old apprentice stole a glance at Du Wei.
Du Wei can’t be blamed for not know any of this because he really never was taught any of this from a proper teacher.
Within the union, dark magic has always been a topic that causes people to feel embarrassed and hard to face.
In particular, there is a class of magician that the union strictly prohibits. If such a Mage is found, the Union would expend every effort within their powers to exterminate! Dark Necromancer.
Although dark magic allows for the Mage in question to use spirits to create undead creatures, but they are absolutely not allowed to use living people to refine their arts!
Historically, there are evil dark Mages that would be willing to go on a random killing spree in order to selfishly pursue their goal for power. In some severe cases, even towns or cities would be annihilated in order for the Dark Necromancer to refine his undead creature!
So, the difference between a dark Mage and a Dark Necromancer is only on this thin line.
If on occasion a mage captures a dead spirit refusing to pass on and haunts the mortal world, this would even be considered a good deed.
As for going on a slaughtering fest to refine undead creatures, this would be considered evil.
After the old apprentice’s introduction, Du Wei could somehow grasp the logic behind it. But just when he was about to leave, some weird thought popped into his mind and he unconsciously said: “Well then, I’ll buy this dark crystal ball.”
This action of his could be considered a spur of the moment because if he didn’t buy anything from the clerk after wasting so much time, he would feel somewhat embarrassed
Although at the present he couldn’t perform any dark magic, but it would still be good to take it back to study.
After bargaining, Du Wei used two blocks of fine Hawkweed drill, plus a pound of magic crystals used for magic circles to trade. Since he gained quite the fortune lately, he didn’t mind because all of these were from others.
Once the contract was signed, the old apprentice was very happy as he picked up the rusted colored bell behind the counter. With a few shakes, a vague wave of magic infused music wafted out.
Moments later, another silver robed apprentice rushed in; but this time, the person was much younger with a six pointed star badge on his chest. Still sweating from his forehead, this youngster spoke with a slight smile: “Old father Hans, you called me?”
“This… … I sold a dark attribute magic tool. This is the contract. Take it and bring it back to the records.” The old apprentice faintly smiles.
This young apprentice is clearly a worker of the magic union. With only a glance at Du Wei, the youngster bowed in respect and careful put the contract away, then turning around, the guy left.
Du Wei was also quite curious regarding this status system in the magic union, but without reason to ask, he turned and left.
Holding onto the black box with the crystal ball inside, he threw it into his magic bag like the rest of his belongings.
But often in history, these little episodes are what create big changes in trends…… This little crystal ball may not seem like much now, but in the future, it will be the key in a world changing event.

Just kill the ones who were still loyal to the Holy City and be done with it. But if all the orphans here had become obstinately loyal, that would become a thorn to His Majesty.\n\"I have one more question.\" Isabella drew a deep breath and asked in a low voice, \"Why do you address me as the Supreme Pontiff?\"\n\"Well...\" Qiu looked intimidated. She hesitated for a while before saying, \"Pope Mayne was dead, and so were the three archbishops. There's no new nomination declared in Hermes, so according to the institution.

Then they started to cheer wildly. \"Thank you! Your Merciful Holiness!\"\n\"Long live Pope Isabella!\"\n\"Long live Your Holiness\"\nIsabella pressed her palms downward to make them calm down before she continued, \"Just as I said, I'm no pope.

They said as one, \"At your service.\"\nIsabella knew very well that those people did not side with her because they were convinced by her. They had been forsaken and should have been done for. Now that they were given the hope to return to the church, they naturally would devote anything, even if the \"church\" they would know now was not real.\nSupposing that the real Church of Hermes was still standing, they might mull over whether they had made the right choice after they removed themselves from the plight and cooled down.

I want you to restore order in the Old Holy City,\" Isabella said methodically. \"Qiu, first gather the residents of the two other cloisters and retell them my words. You must also see to it that every child gets their portion of food before nightfall. The First Army of Graycastle will answer your call and help you. Since they had known that it was Mayne and other men who betrayed, they wouldn't make things difficult for you. After that, all of you must walk out and inform every household of the news and note the names of whom have left and stayed respectively. If you run into the treasonous priests or the believers, report to me immediately.\"\nAs the orders were given, the nuns went into action right after they answered the \"yes\". The situation they were in did not magically improve but a new outlook and hope dwindles in their eyes.\nSoon, they ripped down the gate.

She had received much hatred and many curses since the day she became a Pure Witch, yet this was the first time she was being thanked.\nBut what she had done was not for gaining gratitude, but for her goal. She would also put those people to death without the slightest hesitation if that was needed to achieve her goal. So... this kind of gratitude seemed unwanted to her.\nAlthough that was she had been thinking, Isabella felt like something unknown emerged in her heart, a feeling she had never had before. She could feel a soft distension occurring in her heart and warmth like a fire. Isabella thought she would resist the feeling, but... it was not as annoying as she had expected.\nWas this King Roland's intention?\nIsabella slightly lets out a breath and then slowly followed the end of the line to the camp."

第八百九十二章
要么是教会在掩饰什么，要么就是修女在撒谎。
后者的话，伊莎贝拉实在想不到她们有什么必要捏造命令，毕竟被遗弃是事实，从这伙人萎靡的面色来看，只怕再拖上半个月，修道院就会变成一处死地。
如果是前者，教会将所有正职人员召回赫尔梅斯，却又未对云中梯、旧圣城有任何防卫，那他们究竟想要做什么？
她将心中的猜测暂时压下，望向带头者，“你叫什么名字？”
“回冕下，我叫秋。”
“你们就没想过逃离这里吗？”
“什……么？” 修女愣了愣。
秋沉默了好一阵子才喃喃开口道，“可是……离开了这里，我们又能去哪儿？”
这句话让在场的所有人都低下头来。
“我也是。”
“尽管吃不饱，但每天至少还能吃到点东西，外面并没有好多少。”
其中也有孤儿的声音。 “去向别人讨要的话，又变成以前的模样了。”
“书上说，我们不应该把乞讨当成理所当然之事。”
“我不想……再像过去那样生活了。”
她们并不全是因为教会的命令而死守此地，而是生活习性让她们很难再有其他选择。 这算是个好坏参半的消息，修女处置起来还好说，心向圣城者杀了便是，倘若这些孤儿都成了教会的死忠信徒，那陛下就该头痛了。
“另外我还想问你们一个问题，”她吸了口气，沉声问道，“为什么要称我为教皇冕下？”
“这……”秋露出胆怯的神色，踌躇了一会儿方说道，“梅恩冕下如今已驾崩，三大主教又相续辞世，赫尔梅斯也没发布新的任免令，根据自动补替原则，您便是最接近神殿的人了。”
“伊莎贝拉冕下，求您救救我们！”
“别把我们丢在这里，我们愿意接受任何惩罚！”
“请带我们去赫尔梅斯吧！”
修女们再次哀求起来。
看来她们叫自己为冕下的原因并非有所预谋，而是希望能重新得到圣城的关注，伊莎贝拉心想。 虽说补替原则不适用于教会高层，但落水之人又怎么会计较这些细节，只要有一线生机，便会死死抓住，哪怕是根稻草也不会放开。
想到这里，她脑中很快浮出了一个构想，“我此次来是有一件重要的事要告诉你们，都听好了！”
所有人立刻屏住了呼吸。
“教会已经不再是以前的那个教会了，”伊莎贝拉高声道，“梅恩并不是真正的教皇，他不仅背叛了奥伯莱恩大人，还窃取了教皇的宝座！ 事实上，奥伯莱恩大人想要传位者另有他人！”
这话如同一石激起千层浪，众人顿时哗然。
“那人便是他的首位纯洁者，洁萝。” 她不知道陛下会对这番话生出何种想法，但既然开了头，她便决定做到最好，“灰堡也不是教会的敌人，为了对抗真正的强敌，奥伯莱恩大人甚至希望能与灰堡结盟。”
“您指的是……邪兽吗？” 有人忍不住问道。
幸运的是，梅恩的诡计没能得逞，我在这场战斗中活了下来，叛乱主使者却于一个多月内悉数死去。 毋庸置疑，这是神明的惩罚。”
“所以并没有什么决一死战，也没有独守修道院至最后一刻——”她顿了顿，“你们现在安全了。”
无论是修女还是孤儿，都露出了不敢置信的神情。
“他们的所作所为根本没资格称作神官，我恕你们无罪。”
大院中安静了片刻，随后爆发出巨大的欢呼声，“太好了，冕下仁慈！”
“伊莎贝拉冕下万岁！”
“教皇万岁！”
伊莎贝拉向下压了压手，令大家稍稍平静下来，“我已说过，教皇并不是我，补替原则也不适用于教权的交接，我只是教皇冕下的代行者，就和以前一样。”
“那您也代表着赫尔梅斯教会！” 秋激动道。
“所以我有任务要交给你们，”伊莎贝拉不可置否道，“当然，在你们填饱肚子后。”
好不容易站起来的众人又齐刷刷跪了下去，“请您尽管吩咐。”
她清楚这些人并非因为相信了她的说法才如此拥护她……她们是被抛弃者，命运之门原本已向她们关闭，现在有了重新回归教会的希望，自然心甘情愿付出一切——哪怕这个“教会”不是真的也无妨。
如果真正的赫尔梅斯教会还健在，等她们脱离困境、冷静下来后或许还会思考这个选择是否正确，但如今这个前提已不复存在——等到第一军主力抵达，她所说的一切都会成为现实。
打碎旧有的概念，编造一个半真半假的故事，向她们灌输一个全新的“事实”，如此一来，罗兰陛下才能真正掌握这片土地。
“很简单，我需要你们恢复旧圣城的秩序。” 伊莎贝拉有条不紊地说道，“秋，你先将其他两座修道院的人集合过来，将我的话转告给她们。
随着一道道命令发出，修女们飞快的应诺，然后转身忙碌起来。 尽管她们的处境和半个时辰前没有任何实质性的改善，但此刻每个人脸上的神采已变得截然不同。
大门很快被拆散，当一名修女带着孩子们排队离开修道院时，其中一人忽然向她深深弯下腰来。
“谢谢您，伊莎贝拉大人。”
之后每个孩子都同样如此。
“您真好，大人。”
“我不会忘记您的。”
这样的声音几乎贯穿了整个队伍。 感谢么……伊莎贝拉微微闭上眼睛，自从成为纯洁者后，憎恨和诅咒收到过不少，感谢之辞还是第一次听到。
她做这些并不是为了感谢，而是实现目的的手段。 同样为了目的，她也可以毫无顾虑地将这些人置于死地。 所以……这种谢意对她来说是多余的。
明明这么想着，她却感到心里仿佛多了一些东西……一种从未有过的感受。 略有些鼓胀，同时温暖如光。
这便是罗兰陛下的目的吗？
伊莎贝拉轻轻吐出口气，缓缓跟在队伍末尾地朝营地走去。

Chapter 892: Appreciated
There must be someone lying, the church or the nuns.
Isabella could not think of any reasons for the nuns to make up an order, since they were abandoned and discarded. Judging from their pale, emaciated look, she estimated that probably one more fortnight of starvation would kill them all.
But if the church was lying, what were they going to do by recalling all the formal members to Hermes and leaving the Cloud Ladder and the Old Holy City unguarded?
Trying to set aside her speculation, Isabella looked at the leading nun and asked, "What should I call you?"
"I am called Qiu, Your Holiness."
"Haven't you you ever thought of getting out of here?"
"What, why?" The nun seemed surprised.
It took Qiu a long moment to come back from silence. She muttered, "Where... Where could we possibly go if we leave here?"
All the residents of the cloister lowered their heads at the question.
"Nor have I."
"Although there's not much, at least we have something to eat. I don't think the outside world would be better." Some orphans joined in.
"If we start to beg for food, then our lives will revert back to the one we used to have."
"The book told us that we shouldn't take begging for granted."
"I don't... want to live like that anymore."
Looking at their bewildered looks, Isabella finally realized that it was not the church's order that bound them. They knew nothing else but their sheltered life. The situation seemed neither good nor bad. It would be easy to cope with the nuns. Just kill the ones who were still loyal to the Holy City and be done with it. But if all the orphans here had become obstinately loyal, that would become a thorn to His Majesty.
"I have one more question." Isabella drew a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Why do you address me as the Supreme Pontiff?"
"Well..." Qiu looked intimidated. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Pope Mayne was dead, and so were the three archbishops. There's no new nomination declared in Hermes, so according to the institution. We have to promote all the subordinates to fill in the gaps, you're the one closest to the holy temple."
"Pope Isabella! Please help us!"
"Please don't leave us behind. We'll bear whatever punishment you'll give us!"
"Please take us back to Hermes!"
Again, the nuns started to plead.
"It appears that they did not call me Her Holiness for anything particular, but for the chance to regain the church's attention," Isabella thought. The institution was not suitable for the top-level executives in the church as they were already at the top. However the ones who were drowning at the bottom of the hierarchy could not care less. They would clutch anything that could save their lives as tight as they could, even it was a fragile straw.
As Isabella thought of this, she weaved an idea in her head. "I'm here to tell you an important thing. Listen carefully!"
All of them held their breaths.
"The church has changed," Isabella said loudly. "Mayne was no real pope. He not only betrayed Lord O'Brien but also stole the throne! In fact, there was another successor to whom Lord O'Brien meant to pass his power."
The words were like a stone that created numerous ripples as it was tossed into the water. The listeners burst into an uproar.
"The successor was his first Pure Witch, Zero," Isabella said. She did not know what His Majesty would think of those words, but since she started off, she would do her best. "Graycastle isn't our enemy. Instead, in order to defend the real enemy, Lord O'Brien even hope to ally the church with Graycastle."
"Do you mean... the demonic beasts?" Someone could not help asking.
"They're more fearful than the demonic beasts." Isabella shook her head and said, "They're recorded in canon within the church that only a very few people could see. Mayne was averse to let the Pure Witch seize the power, so he secretly revolted and framed Zero who was about to leave for Graycastle as a messenger. That's the cause for the battle of Coldwind Ridge." Fortunately, Mayne's trick didn't work out. I survived that battle, yet the initiators of the rebellion died within more than a month. There was no doubt that they were punished by the deities."
"There's no so-called last battle, and you don't need to hold the cloister alone to the last moment, either," she paused. "You're safe now."
Both the nuns and the orphans looked as though they could not believe their ears.
"They had dishonored their names and therefore disqualified for what they had done, so I decided spare all of you."
There was a moment of silence. Then they started to cheer wildly. "Thank you! Your Merciful Holiness!"
"Long live Pope Isabella!"
"Long live Your Holiness"
Isabella pressed her palms downward to make them calm down before she continued, "Just as I said, I'm no pope. The rules don't really make me attain the that role. I'm just the executor of Supreme Pontiff, as I was before."
"But you still represent the Church of Hermes!" Qiu said, thrilled.
"I have a mission for you," Isabella said clearly and with certainty. "Of course, that's after all of you eat your fill."
The nuns and the orphans knelt again after hobbling back to their feet. They said as one, "At your service."
Isabella knew very well that those people did not side with her because they were convinced by her. They had been forsaken and should have been done for. Now that they were given the hope to return to the church, they naturally would devote anything, even if the "church" they would know now was not real.
Supposing that the real Church of Hermes was still standing, they might mull over whether they had made the right choice after they removed themselves from the plight and cooled down. But that was impossible now. By the time the First Army arrived, what she had said would definitely come true.
Only by breaking their old beliefs of the church and instilling a half-true story she had made up as the new "truth". King Roland would now be able to control this land veritably.
"It's very simple. I want you to restore order in the Old Holy City," Isabella said methodically. "Qiu, first gather the residents of the two other cloisters and retell them my words. You must also see to it that every child gets their portion of food before nightfall. The First Army of Graycastle will answer your call and help you. Since they had known that it was Mayne and other men who betrayed, they wouldn't make things difficult for you. After that, all of you must walk out and inform every household of the news and note the names of whom have left and stayed respectively. If you run into the treasonous priests or the believers, report to me immediately."
As the orders were given, the nuns went into action right after they answered the "yes". The situation they were in did not magically improve but a new outlook and hope dwindles in their eyes.
Soon, they ripped down the gate. When a nun was about to take the girls out of the cloister in order, one girl suddenly bowed low to Isabella.
"Thank you, Lady Isabella."
The other girls followed her behavior one after another.
"You're so nice, My Lady."
"I'll remember you forever."
"Thanking me..." Isabella slightly closed her eyes, lost in thought. She had received much hatred and many curses since the day she became a Pure Witch, yet this was the first time she was being thanked.
But what she had done was not for gaining gratitude, but for her goal. She would also put those people to death without the slightest hesitation if that was needed to achieve her goal. So... this kind of gratitude seemed unwanted to her.
Although that was she had been thinking, Isabella felt like something unknown emerged in her heart, a feeling she had never had before. She could feel a soft distension occurring in her heart and warmth like a fire. Isabella thought she would resist the feeling, but... it was not as annoying as she had expected.
Was this King Roland's intention?
Isabella slightly lets out a breath and then slowly followed the end of the line to the camp.
