Chapter 250: Chapter 182: The Most Terrifying Character!
On the north side of the town.
A young man was seen carrying water, hurrying home.
Looking into the distance, the scene ahead was chaotic. A gigantic black-scaled snake was locked in an indistinguishable battle with an old man.
"Seventh Prince, that’s Old Master Zhou."
"How many times have I told you, in the town, my name is Brother Liang, not the Seventh Divine Child of Tribulation Ash, no... just the seventh-ranked candidate."
"Yes, Seventh Prince."
"Get lost and stop hindering me from being a fisherman."
The Seventh Prince, looking into the distance, frowned slightly.
He remembered that Old Master Zhou was playing the role of an accountant.
As for himself, he hailed from the fifth city of Qifeng Prefecture, known as Mountain City.
Old Master Zhou served in the prefectural yamen of Southwest District within the inner city of Mountain City as a Chief Commander.
Three years ago, his identity was exposed and he was pursued by the Observatory, fleeing out of Mountain City.
Having initially failed in his bid to become the Vice Sect Hierarch of Tribulation Ash, he later contentedly served as a senior elder of Tribulation Ash, disinterested in power.
"Seventh Prince, I knew you would need me..." The servant who was chased away earlier ran back and whispered, "The calamity diverting to the east is caused by Wu Chang, the first prodigy of Qifeng Prefecture!"
"Oh?" The Seventh Prince’s brow raised slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
"Wu Chang is flaunting his power on top of the high building, and his killing has been extensive, affecting the Taiyin Snake King," the servant whispered. "Unexpectedly, Wu Chang managed to draw the Taiyin Snake King into harming Old Master Zhou."
"Such reckless people, not knowing how to follow the flow, are doomed not to escape from here ahead of time."
The Seventh Prince laughed, then waved his hand and said, "Fine, from now on, I am no longer the Seventh Prince, and if you call me that again, I’ll kill you..."
"Acting on a killing impulse can easily cloud the mind."
The servant hastily warned, then hesitated and said, "Wait, that Wu Chang, his killing intent has never stopped!"
"..."
The Seventh Prince paused for a long moment and said, "Wasn’t it said that once moved by killing intent, one can hardly break free?"
The servant whispered, "Isn’t that the truth? The most terrifying thing in this ancient relic is ’acting on killing intent’! You’ll unwittingly assume the role of the ’County Magistrate’... the most dangerous role there is in the relics!"
——
High Willow City.
Mr. Lu’s courtyard.
At the moment, the Great City Guard was drinking a cup of tea in the yard and said, "Deputy City Governor Shi, I have to keep an eye on him in Linjiang Square, so I also came to Linjiang Square and took the opportunity to visit Mr. Lu for a drink of water."
With a sigh, the Great City Guard said, "Matters concerning the ancient relics involve the civilization of the Human Clan and the future survival. Personal grudges should be set aside. Yet he, as the Deputy City Governor of Prefecture City, fails to understand even this, holding me here instead of assisting others, truly giving me a headache."
"Deputy City Governor Shi has always been impulsive, and I disagreed when he was promoted to this position back in the day."
Mr. Lu said this, reaching into his robe and pulling out a register which he passed over.
The Great City Guard frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Mr. Lu slowly stated, "It was sent by Mr. Li."
The Great City Guard opened the register, raised his eyebrow, and said, "Li Xuantong, the son of the Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture? Where did he get this from?"
"The main forces of Tribulation Ash, including some high-ranking members and that transformed Evil monstrosity of a great lord, have already entered the relic," he explained.
"Since the inside of Tribulation Ash is now vulnerable, under the Commander’s order, the Zhao Ye people infiltrating Tribulation Ash have stolen the classified archives. Fourteen Zhao Ye people died before it was transmitted out."
Mr. Lu calmly said, "Li Xuantong stayed in Linjiang Square just to wait for this very register."
The Great City Guard opened the register and said, "The record on the relic is sufficiently detailed, but it might be too late already."
"There’s still time."
Mr. Lu stated, "According to the records in the register, everything so far has only played out in the periphery. As long as someone can deliver it to the relic in time, there won’t be too much disadvantage."
"The suitable candidates have all been sent inside already."
The Great City Guard frowned slightly and asked, "Who else is suited for this?"
Mr. Lu calmly said, "High Willow City now gathers powerholders of Qifeng Prefecture, or children of major families, the cream of the young generation, half of them are here!"
"The emergence of the relic represents a rare opportunity."
The Great City Guard pondered, "Actually, some were specifically chosen to come to High Willow City from the beginning, observing ’the battle between Wu Chang and Xu Dingye’ as an excuse,s with the real intention of having them explore the relics."
"But some, pampered from birth, are so frightened of death that they dare not take risks and stay in High Willow City."
"Relying on them?"
The Great City Guard slightly shook his head, "These young nobles, enjoying the finest cultivation resources of the Human Clan, are ultimately useless mud."
But Mr. Lu chuckled and said, "However, among them, there are some who are not truly afraid of death, but are waiting for the right moment."
"This register is their opportunity. Let’s give it to them now and send them to explore the relic, laying out ’the rules’ just in time!"
"The registers have already been copied into two more copies, making a total of three... I’ll give you a list, you find three people and send them each one."
"With the rules from these registers, it would help level the field against Tribulation Ash."
"It was worth the Commander taking risks, luring out that mastermind holding the secrets."
Then, the Great City Guard, with a solemn look, took the list and immediately stood up.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lu poured another cup of tea, looking back and saying, "Your hand must be sore, come have some tea..."
"Mr. Lu..."
Lin Lei stepped out, hesitantly saying, "Has my Flames gone too?"
