Chapter 968: Chapter 9: Obedient Son-in-Law
"They have tempered the Divine Army, each one towering ten feet tall, capable of wielding great bows and battle halberds, but they were all smashed to death by Xiao Wuliang with his flying hammers, their skulls shattered... Alas, he is now ranked the thirteenth among the peerless generals of the age, at the peak of his thirties."
"The Wolf King himself is unbeatable in his ferocity."
"Indeed, under his command are many fierce generals, including one named Gu Daohui, who was said to have been a famed general under the Taiping Duke’s banner. Alas, the Four Guardian Kings have ordered us to squeeze all the profit from these small towns and principalities around."
"They plan to abandon this place and go all out for a battle with the Wolf King."
One of the foreign monks fell silent and said, "I also heard from the altar master that this Wolf King was once, like the Taiping Duke, a top ten general. It seems he was even ranked fourth, above the Taiping Duke, but was later defeated by him."
"Anyway, they are all formidable figures from the Central Plains."
"Look, in less than two short years, he has torn the entire Dangxiang Kingdom to pieces and occupied most of the city-states. Now all the Thirty-six Tribes say only an overlord like the Tuyuhun of old could come down to defeat him."
"By taking out the [Golden Royal Seal] and gathering the elites of the Thirty-six Tribes, there might be a chance to defeat him."
Another foreign monk said, "Tuyuhun was such a brutal man."
"Is it possible that the Wolf King is equivalent to the Tuyuhun of three hundred years ago?"
Everyone fell silent. Li Guanyi poked a hole in the paper window with his finger, seeing the monks inside and a pot of hot tea on the table. Li Guanyi thought for a moment, his fingers moved slightly, and a stream of Inner Qi carried a mix of Shi Dalin’s powder.
With a flick of his finger,
The Absolute Skill of Chen Royalty · Six Void Four Union Divine Skill was activated.
He sent the entire mix of powder into the teapot, stirring it evenly.
The monks were talking enthusiastically, all drinking the shared tea, and Li Guanyi and Shaking Light had already left the place. In the barracks of the garrison within the Western city-state and not far from the Western aristocrats’ residences, Li Guanyi and Shaking Light wandered along, slipping the powders to the garrison as well.
Mainly [Powder for Anesthesia] and [Soft Bone Powder].
A thousand garrison soldiers would definitely be completely subdued, unable to get up.
After doing all these things, Li Guanyi then swaggered into the mansion of the Western dignitary, and as he went in, he saw Xiao Dayin, who was chatting idly with a man in a black robe, saying:
"Leaving? You must understand this thing first, then leave."
"Hmph, the order of the Holy Sect Hierarch demands that we immediately return and defend, you dare not obey?"
"This, this..."
"Ah, fine."
Xiao Dayin gritted his teeth and pressed a nearby armrest. With a clattering sound, the wall on one side of the room collapsed, revealing a path, and the two hastily went in, with Li Guanyi and Shaking Light following them behind.
The black-robed man said, "This place is well-prepared."
Xiao Dayin said, "The Holy Sect has been operating here for a century; why suddenly retract?"
The black-robed man paused and said, "You are already considered a core member of our Holy Sect, so there’s no harm in telling you. Do you know what happened more than a decade ago?"
Xiao Dayin cautiously said, "That massacre of the time?"
The black-robed man chuckled twice and said, "Your information is quite informed."
"Yes, it’s because of that event."
"It is heard that the culprit responsible for the massacre has resurfaced. The deaths of Huyan Jixuan, the Great Grandmaster, and a district elder of another branch are all related to this matter. The Holy Sect Hierarch planned to take away one-third of the secret sanctuaries that Huyan Jixuan had suppressed."
"But faced opposition from the Four Guardian Kings."
"The Hierarch couldn’t confront them openly, so he instructed us to quietly withdraw these smaller branch altars to avoid being caught in a calamity."
Saying this, they opened the last barrier, and inside it was dark, filled with a lot of gold and money, which turned out to be the merit money amassed by those foreign monks, all poured into an entrance and falling along a passage.
Xiao Dayin said, "The merit money accumulated over the years is all here."
But the man in the black robe was uninterested in these treasures, but quickly walked to a statue where he seemed to hear a myriad of murmuring voices and could sense a boundless mystical effect.
"Haha, it’s here, it’s these..."
"Hahaha, this is one of the formation eyes from back then. It’s the fruit of our Holy Sect’s century-long effort. Once this array is brought back, then when that [Weapon] returns, we can reopen the Great Formation."
"Temper it into our Holy Sect’s Divine Weapon."
"No Eye Realm, even [No Consciousness] Realm. No ignorance, nor the end of ignorance. Even [No Old Death], nor the end of old death."
"No sensation of color, sound, scent, taste, touch, or law. No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind. No grief nor fear."
"The mind is unbound!"
The man in black robe was very excited, but at this moment, his Primordial Spirit suddenly throbbed violently. An extreme danger and terror emerged from the depths of his heart, and then a grasp seized his heart.
The black-robed man’s expression changed drastically: "Who is it?!!"
Buzz!!!
The sound of swirling air was like a dragon’s roar, as the black-robed man performed exceptional martial prowess, forcibly splitting into several afterimages, immediately merging into one to evade the terrifying threat.
But the next moment, the black-robed man felt a sharp pain in his chest.
An arrow pierced directly through his chest.
The surging momentum and the grand stream of light tore and transformed into a distant white tiger, biting him and slamming heavily into the wall, causing it to boom.
A calm voice said, "Pity, you no longer have the chance."
