Chapter 165: Chapter 125: Refining Essence into Qi, Within Reach【Second Release!】_2

"Because of the power of the cultivation technique he cultivates, even though he is at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm like me, he is already comparable to the foundations I have built over more than a hundred years!"

"Send the order down, in the near future with regard to the Observatory, we should yield some ground and not act too ostentatiously."

"However, the guy who got pushed forward, do not tolerate him!"

The elder of the Liu Family spoke evenly, slowly saying, "Last night, this man took the initiative to make a move, seemingly starting this storm. In reality, he must be the scapegoat that the Observatory pushed to the forefront of the storm... "

"Scapegoat?" The elder exclaimed in astonishment.

"There inevitably needs to be a scapegoat in this matter."

The elder of the Liu Family continued in his usual tone, slowly saying, "Although the Commander of the Observatory acted madly at the brink of death, the root cause was likely the expansion of the city, which touched his bottom line, rather than intending to completely break the current situation."

If the Commander of the Observatory truly wanted a desperate fight to the death, that would be a true internal conflict within the Human Clan.

Once the major powers of High Willow City suffer heavy casualties... even with the protection of Liu Venerate, High Willow City will hardly be stable!

The elder of the Liu Family slowly said, "So this young man is inevitably pushed forward to quell the rage of all parties."

The elder could not help but speak in a low voice, "According to intelligence, Wu Chang is quite young, in his twenties, and deeply valued by Mr. Lu, who awarded him the eternal azure void and allowed him to enter the Refining Essence Realm. Does the Observatory really afford to use such a person as a shield?"

"Because he offended the Li Shen Sect, nine days from now, the Little Divine Sect’s Xu Dingye, will come to High Willow City to battle with him!"

The elder of the Liu Family continued slowly, "Moreover, someone who has reached the Refining Essence Realm with the help of the eternal azure void has no future in Qi Refinement. Although it seems he is a genius, in reality, his potential is limited..."

He stroked his beard saying, "Sacrificing this Wu Chang in exchange for the various factions not daring to covet the expansion materials is worth it for the Observatory!"

The elder suddenly realized, "So, this is a dead man walking, hence the Observatory would push him forward as a scapegoat?"

The elder of the Liu Family waved his hand, "No, Xu Dingye is coming to break his momentum of cultivation, but he will not kill him."

The elder hesitated, "Does the elder mean, after the Little Divine Sect defeats him, we will kill him?"

Having said this, the elder spoke in a low voice, "The elder truly thinks far ahead..."

If today we kill Wu Chang.

The Little Divine Sect’s Xu Dingye would lose this opponent.

The battle nine days from now is already spreading throughout Qifeng Prefecture’s cities.

If this battle can’t succeed, the Li Shen Sect that personally issued the challenge would likely be infuriated.

And once this battle is over, killing Wu Chang afterward... most of the outside world will believe the Little Divine Sect defeated Wu Chang, causing him grave injuries from which he could not recover, and thus he died.

"No, we must let the outside world know it was the Bai family who killed him."

The elder of the Liu Family said slowly, "A direct descendant of the Bai family was killed by Wu Chang, it will naturally be reasoned that the Bai family is to blame..."

"You mean, let the Bai family bear this matter, then the Bai family... can only deal with the Observatory and those upper echelons hoping to cultivate ’talents’!"

The elder said, "In this way, the Bai family will be heavily distracted and will not compete with our Liu Family for control of various aspects of the outer city?"

"You child, have always been clever since young."

The elder of the Liu Family spoke appreciatively, "It’s a pity your cultivation is not strong, otherwise you might well sit in the position of the Great Elder."

As he said this, the elder of the Liu Family continued, "This Wu Chang, being overly young, might live many years, although he has little hope for the Qi Refining Realm, it is very likely he could reach the peak of the Refining Essence Realm!"

"Looking through this person’s past deeds, his murderous nature is far too heavy!"

"Liu Yi merely rode his horse and accidentally injured a lowly old bone, and he dared to attack a member of my Liu family with a knife!"

"This person tolerates no evil, and being at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm in the future, he is also a troublesome scourge."

"Now, inside the city, at least half of all the forces want to kill him, to avoid too many troubles in the decades to come."

As he said this, a flicker of anger passed through the eyes of the elder of the Liu Family, saying, "Liu Yi be damned, he should not have, under any circumstances, killed little Qi!"

That elder felt a chill in his heart.

The little Qi mentioned by the elder was his great-grandson.

Since he bore a striking resemblance to the elder when he was young, he was the most favored grandchild among his generation in the family.

Seven months ago, due to several young women expressing great admiration for the city defense soldiers, Liu Qi voluntarily went to the southern inner city gate and joined the City Defense Army.

The Liu Family very much approved of this, hoping that Liu Qi would serve in the City Defense Army for a few years as a foundation for later promotion to a position in the City Guard Mansion.

Yet last night at the top of the southern gate, Liu Qi shot more than ten arrows but failed to injure Wu Chang at all.

However, Wu Chang, with no regard for his status, shot Liu Qi dead with a crossbow arrow.

The elder wanted to kill Wu Chang primarily because of Liu Qi!

"The person you placed within the Bai family has been activated..."

Elder Liu spoke slowly, "After the Little Divine Sect defeats him, his spirit will certainly be frustrated, and his injuries might not be minor. At that time, have the Bai family’s people kill him!"

"Understood!"

This elder immediately bowed.

——

Observatory.

The Commander rubbed his forehead and spoke in a low voice, "This kid is too arrogant, completely beyond my expectations. Is he really suitable to be a Zhao Ye person?"

Zhao Ye people have no salary, no roster, no identity, and no fame.

They are willing to hide their names in various industries and forces, and fight to the last drop of blood for the survival of the Human Clan.

"Considering his ambitions, he is a qualified Zhao Ye person."

The unknown old man slowly stepped forward and said, "However, looking at his straightforward temper, he indeed isn’t suitable to be a Zhao Ye person lurking in the shadows!"

"Fortunately, he can have multiple identities."

The Commander of the Observatory exhaled and said, "Thinking about it carefully, this fellow’s actions last night weren’t without method..."

"Of course."

Deputy Commander Zhou, coming from outside, said, "While he was on a killing spree, he still had the mind to set up tricks to lead me away! This kid is not as reckless as he appears, he is very meticulous, and considers his actions carefully..."

"Then, why didn’t he consider notifying me in advance last night?"

The Commander exhaled in dissatisfaction.

"Perhaps..."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Was it because you told him the night before to go ahead and do it?"

The Commander was taken aback and said, "I didn’t let him directly break into the inner city, though?"

"But he did break into the inner city."

Deputy Commander Zhou said helplessly, "If I’m guessing right, now all forces think that this matter was a set-up by my Observatory, and this Wu Chang is the scapegoat for the anger of all forces!"

"What is this all about?"

The Commander rubbed his forehead and said, "If Wu Chang could have restrained himself a bit last night, my Observatory wouldn’t have had to mobilize fully! I always feel like last night, it was he who... commanded the entire Observatory!"

"That’s also true."

The old man chuckled and said, "If Wu Chang hadn’t made a move, last night would have been calm! But once he drew his sword, you, the Commander, had no choice but to step in..."

At this point, the old man clicked his tongue, "A General Flag Envoy directly mobilizes the entire Observatory, and even you, the Commander, have to act according to his wishes... You might as well retire and let him take over as Commander."

"I wouldn’t mind that."

Deputy Commander Zhou shrugged and said, "I quite like his style of doing things."

After a pause, Deputy Commander Zhou spoke in a low voice, "However, I wasn’t able to catch up with him last night, I always feel that this kid doesn’t seem like he’s just entered the Refining Essence Realm."

"Could it then be the peak of the Refining Essence Realm?"

The Commander chuckled lightly and said, "Years ago, when I first met him, he was just at the peak of the first hurdle in martial arts, having tempered his skin, flesh, and bones."

"Now he can break through the first, second, and third barriers and barely promote to the Refining Essence Realm, already comparable to Li Shen Sect back in the day!"

"He surely isn’t at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm, surpassing Li Shen Sect from those years, is he?"

"If so, wouldn’t his talent in Qifeng Prefecture be unprecedented and unparalleled in five hundred years?"

——

At this very moment, outside High Willow City.

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Tonight’s slaughter has garnered me Evil Qi, which has led me to the very end within the Refining Essence Realm."

He opened his eyes, exhaled, and couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Refining Essence into Qi, within reach!
