Chapter 444 - Going to the Capital
Chapter 444: Going to the Capital
Ling Ping’an put down his phone.
He had been playing chess the whole day today, and he had also lost for the whole day.
He would play either ‘Super Eight’ or “Corpse’, and he would always lose!
“Can you blame me for this?” Ling Ping’an complained, “Every time, I can’t get the chess pieces that I want…”
“I can only play shortcut… and be a gambling dog…”
“But the dealer always targets me!”
“There are no good people with the surname Bao!”
The dealer of the Canyon War flag was a virtual character with the surname Bao.
And this guy had always been against him.
Without a shortcut, the quality of the chess pieces would not be good.
He had tried not to and lie low.
In the end, every team battle was as beautiful as a painting.
He could even lose by fighting a corpse!
There was simply no way to play!
He walked to the window and opened the curtains.
A firefly quietly flew to him.
Ling Ping’an looked at the little bug and stretched out his hand without hesitation.
He had always been very steady in catching bugs.
This time was no exception. He reached out and caught it. Then, with a light pinch, the bug exploded. The slurry sprayed between his fingers was sticky.
“What’s going on?” Ling Ping’an looked at the bug that he had crushed. He smelled it and said, “It stinks!”
He quickly closed the window and went to the bathroom.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “It’s winter. Where did the firefly come from in the capital? Strange!”
…
Puff!
In the pitch-black underground, the person sitting on the futon suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His entire body immediately shrunk into a ball.
“What’s going on?” A robe hanging on the high platform swung over to the front of the person on the futon. It asked with concern, “Ah Yun, what’s wrong?”
However, that person was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
The blood was constantly being vomited out from his throat. Slowly, the green bile and red meat paste were also vomited out.
Then there were all kinds of organs.
Organs that were crushed.
Hearts, kidneys, livers.
Finally…
The person in front of the robe turned into a puddle of meat paste.
It was as if someone had pinched this person and then squeezed hard, crushing him!
The robe was shocked.
He shook slightly, and the oil lamps underground lit up one by one.
As the oil lamps lit up, the people in the underground cave opened their eyes one after another.
There were about 10 of them, all wearing black robes. They were all hidden in the robes, and no one could tell how they looked like.
They looked at the floating robe and the crushed meat in front of the robe.
“Master!” They looked up at the robe and asked, “What has happened to the Eldest Senior Brother?”
The robe slowly rose and stared at the meat paste on the ground for a long time.
This pile of meat paste was his favorite disciple.
It was also the disciple that had followed him for the longest time.
It was also the only disciple that had survived until now.
However, he didn’t expect him to die in front of him today.
Moreover, he died in such a strange and tragic way.
He looked at the people under the black robe, his last disciples.
“Don’t go to the Monsoon Villa to spy anymore!” Under the black robe, in the empty air, a hoarse voice said, “There is an unknown existence there!”
“Ah Yun was killed by him!”
The disciples immediately began to buzz and discuss.
“How is this possible?”
“We are more than 10 thousands miles away from the capital.”
“Even that Li Shouyi couldn’t have killed Eldest Senior Brother from such a distance!”
“Besides… Eldest Senior Brother only used the Gu technique to turn into a flying insect to take a look…”
“Even if he was discovered, he would only lose a bit of his spiritual sense…”
Listening to the disciples’ discussions, the robe slowly returned to its original position and was hung back on the clothes rack on the high platform.
The robe fluttered even though there was no wind, and the two sleeves swayed gently.
“What do you know?!” The hoarse voice came from the robe. “Isn’t the Yan Sheng technique managed to curse people from tens of thousands of miles away?”
The robe flapped slightly, and a stone platform in front of him slowly rose.
Inside the stone platform was an ancient bronze mirror.
The robe waved his sleeve, and shot out a few drops of warm blood.
It was the blood that was left before his corpse was dissected.
The drops of blood fell onto the surface of the mirror, and the surface immediately began to become blur.
Then, an air-dried skull appeared on the mirror.
“Patriarch…” the air-dried skull twisted and turned, and a pair of empty black eye sockets looked at the robe. “Why are you looking for me?”
“Blind Ding!” The robe asked. “You are the chief executor of Yan Sheng Sect, you should be very familiar with Yan Sheng’s technique, right?!”
That air-dried skull let out a strange laugh, like a ghost crying.
“What does Patriarch want to ask?”
The robe waved its sleeve, the mirror swung up and turned towards the puddle of meat on the ground.
“Ah Yun is dead!” The hoarse voice in the robe said: “When he used Gu worms to spy on Monsson Villa, he suddenly died!”
“Moreover, he died so miserably!”
“Not only was his body crushed, even his soul, too!”
“Is there a similar divine ability in the Yan Sheng technique?”
The empty eye sockets in the shriveled head looked at the puddle of meat.
The head suddenly swung up. A black light flashed faintly in the empty eye sockets. The shriveled vocal cords trembled. “This…”
“This isn’t the Yan Sheng technique!”
If the Yan Sheng technique could reach such a level, why would he be hiding like a rat?
He would have long returned to the capital and pushed down the shrine of the Blackguard!
However…
The miserable state of the meat on the ground reminded him of something.
“Patriarch…” the shriveled skull slowly said, “I don’t know. Have you heard about the matter of the Werewolf Tribe on land of Qin?”
The hoarse voice in the robe replied, “I have heard of it…”
“I once bought hundreds of cursed werewolves…” the shriveled skull slowly turned red and slowly turned into a blind man in his fifties with a head full of white hair and festering eyes.
“Using their flesh and soul to practice for the disciples below…”
“In the end… we discovered that although those werewolves had turned into mindless beasts, their souls could still be used as materials for magic art…”
“Furthermore, we discovered that the quality of these materials was only slightly inferior to that of transcendent being!”
The Yan Sheng technique was a technique that was extremely easy to learn and could be used by ordinary people as long as they could master the trick.
However…
It was easy to learn the basics, but difficult to improve.
This difficulty did not refer to cultivation or talent, but practice!
Every advancement of it was based on hundreds and thousands of repeated practices.
It was just like the basic science of mortals.
Only by constantly trial and error and constant experiments could one obtain the data.
Yan Sheng technique was also ordinary.
In order to successfully learn a technique, one needed to constantly try and make mistakes.
However, the two were somewhat different.
The basic science materials were all materials.
As for the Yan Sheng technique, the materials had to be living beings!
In the beginning, one could use pigs and sheep as substitutes.
But soon after, one had to use materials with souls.
Moreover, the higher the level of the Yan Sheng technique, the more living souls it required.
For example, there was once a general of the Yan Sheng sect who cursed one of his mortal enemies to death.
In order to curse the other party to death, that general massacred an entire city’s people!
Using hundreds of thousands of living souls as materials, he finally cursed that general to death!
This was the absurdity of the Yan Sheng sect’s technique!
As long as one knew the rituals and incantations, had enough living souls, and practiced a few more times, one would be able to grasp strength that others might not be able to grasp in their entire lives!
This was also the reason why the Yan Sheng sect called themselves a sect.
They believed that they were researching the Great Dao.
A Great Dao that was higher than science and stronger than Dao!
Whether it was ordinary people or extraordinary people, they were all materials in their eyes.
Materials used for experiments!
Therefore, the Yan Sheng sect had always been incomparably arrogant and crazy!
Even now, the Yan Sheng sect had almost been exterminated, leaving only a few people on their last breaths, struggling to maintain their orthodoxy, they still believed that they were humanity’s only hope for the future.
Due to the recovery of the spirit aura, the immortals had returned.
And the immortals treated the common people as dogs!
Once the immortals had fully recovered, everyone would become the slaves of those ancient and terrifying gods. The human-shaped batteries would never be free again!
They were the last hope and the only hope!
Therefore, the purpose of the Yan Sheng sect was to sacrifice all of humanity and finally experiment with the legendary Dingtou Seven Arrow Book.
With this supreme curse, they would force the immortal gods to give in.
Then, they would lead the remaining humans to continue living.
This was where the confidence of many experts of the Yan Sheng sect was!
Until two months ago, the werewolves of land of Qin suddenly became unintelligent beasts.
The entire Yan Sheng sect felt like they were as though being slapped a few times.
They personally purchased the werewolves and repeatedly observed and experimented with them.
In the end, they had to admit.
The curse that the werewolves suffered was so bizarre and terrifying that it was unimaginable!
This was a technique that was even more terrifying, bizarre, and unreasonable than the Dingtou Seven Arrow Book.
The Dingtou Seven Arrow book could only target individuals.
Even Immortals and gods could be cursed to death.
However…
Compared to this technique that followed the bloodline and cursed the entire race, it was simply like a child’s toy!
There were even generals from the cursing school who broke down due to this and committed suicide in madness!
This was because reality proved that their path was wrong.
Even if they ultimately sacrificed hundreds of millions of living souls to activate the legendary book of Dingtou Seven Arrows, in front of an existence that had grasped a higher level of strength, they were merely ant’s struggling!
Now…
Looking at the meat on the ground…
The blind old man sensed a familiar feeling.
It was the same as the curse of the werewolf clan, strange, terrifying, and unreasonable!
“What…” the robe trembled. “Blind Ding… you mean… my disciple died at the hands of the mysterious existence who turned the land of Qin werewolf clan into the beasts?”
“And that person is now in the Monsoon Villa…”
“Is that the mysterious Mr. X?”
“I’m afraid so…” The rotting flesh in Blind Ding’s eyes squirmed continuously, and there was a vague budding of flesh.
They were about to say something else.
Suddenly, a spiritual light fell from the stalactite in the underground cave.
A blurry shadow was reflected from the spiritual light.
Both Blind Ding in the bronze mirror and the robe hanging on the clothes hanger were stunned when they saw the shadow.
“Alliance Leader!” There was a hint of respect in their voices.
If outsiders knew about this, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
That was because both the robe and the blind man in the bronze mirror were the top three on the Federal Empire’s red wanted list.
Even if they just reported their whereabouts to the Blackguard, they would immediately be rewarded with 50,000 points!
As these people were all madmen who were stained with the blood of countless innocent people.
“Blind Ding is also here…” A muffled voice came from the blurry shadow. “It saves me a trip to land of Qin…”
“I’m here to tell you…”
“The world is about to change!”
“Li Shouyi discovered many areas of the Kunlun mountains that are transcendent-level!”
“In addition, the Federal Empire’s Aerospace Department had calculated the increase in the mass and radius of the Earth. They also found out that the cosmic microwave background is shifting toward the Earth…”
Both the robe on the hanger and the blind man in the bronze mirror were shocked when they heard this.
It was understandable that there were many transcendent regions appearing in Mount Kunlun.
But the mass and diameter of the Earth had increased?
The cosmic microwave background was shifting towards the Earth?
What was going on?
One must know that both Blind Ding and the robe were old monsters who had lived for god knows how many years.
They were not only lunatics, they were also geniuses!
They literally were!
Therefore, regarding scientific knowledge, they also knew!
If it weren’t for the strength of this man, and the fact that he saved their lives…
Blind Ding and the robe would have thought that this man was crazy.
“You don’t believe it?” The figure asked. “Then go and check it out!”
“Every Aerospace Department should be aware of the problem!”
“You are in land of Qin, should have intelligence source, can go and check!”
“See if what I said is true…”
After entering the 28th century of the Republic era, not only was the concentration of the recovery of spirit aura increasing, science and technology also began to surge.
The Federal Empire had led a brand new wave of information technology revolution.
The major powers had no choice but to follow suit, resulting in the wave of information network and the wave of wireless internet.
And these two technological revolutions were closely related to aerospace technology.
Especially satellite communication technology!
Therefore, the major powers of the land of Qin, such as Faran and Prussia, had their own Aerospace Departments. They even deployed deep space radio telescopes to observe the universe.
And based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy was a friend, the countries of the land of Qin had many dealings with their arch-enemies of the Federal Empire in the dark. They even provided them with convenience and help, both overt and covert.
If it weren’t for the help of the countries of land of Qin in covering up and hiding…
No matter how powerful they were, they would sooner or later be found by the Blackguard!
The Earth was only so big, so there was a limit to where they could hide!
Then, they heard the blurry figure say, “I came here to tell you…”
“No matter what…”
“We must go to the capital!”
“Not just us!”
“All the countries in land of Qin… must go if they want to live!”
“As… the intelligence that I received said…”
“This is all man-made!”
“Due to that Mr. X!”
“Everything is related to him!”
