Chapter 136: Chapter 136 The Truth About Father’s Arrest (Please Comment)

"Young Master Ling, there’s no need to rush your answer. You have plenty of time to consider. Before that, I need to explain the Dark Night to you in detail."

Piano Girl said with a smile.

"Speak."

Ling Chen said coldly.

Deep in his heart, the things that he had always buried and was unwilling to show to others had been casually revealed by someone else. How could he not be wary?

Piano Girl didn’t really care about Ling Chen’s attitude. She smiled and said, "Do you know the purpose of establishing our Dark Night Association?"

"I don’t know."

Ling Chen shook his head.

Piano Girl nodded and said, "There’s only one purpose—to overthrow the ruling of the Great Xia Royal Family. You don’t need to doubt it; that is the Dark Night Association’s sole purpose. Because many of us in the Dark Night have experienced the same as you."

"Are you saying the Great Xia Royal Family has captured many with special constitutions?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Exactly."

Piano Girl nodded.

"How is that possible? What do they want with so many people who have special constitutions?"

Ling Chen pressed further.

It was indeed perplexing!

Piano Girl said, "For experimentation."

"Experimentation?"

Ling Chen looked puzzled.

Piano Girl countered, "Do you know what a special constitution is?"

"Of course I know. Battle Bodies, Spiritual Bodies, Sacred Bodies, and such are all special constitutions!"

Ling Chen responded.

Piano Girl shook her head and said, "You don’t truly understand what a special constitution is, or rather, you don’t understand why special constitutions exist. I’m not too clear about the specifics. It seems to be a manifestation of some rule."

"As for what that rule is, I’m not sure."

"But I do know the reason they hunt those with special constitutions is to extract something called Source Energy, a mysterious substance. It’s said that it can artificially create special constitutions!"

"What? Engineered special constitutions?"

Ling Chen’s face was full of shock.

Even with his inherited memories, he hadn’t come into contact with this.

After all, it was too profound for him at present.

The idea that one could artificially create a special constitution was utterly astonishing.

He had originally thought that special constitutions were innate.

Piano Girl looked at Ling Chen and said, "And that’s not the most shocking part. The Great Xia Royal Family can merge multiple special constitutions into one person! Simply put, they have a method that can create a person with a Spiritual Body that possesses the attributes of the Five Elements!"

"This..."

Ling Chen was completely stunned.

Piano Girl continued, "Don’t know if you’ve heard of an organization called the Ghost Guard. This is a group that the Great Xia Royal Family created by using the Source Energy of special constitutions, transforming very ordinary Cultivators into Spiritual Body holders, and not just that, but those with multiple attributes, possessing at least two types of Spiritual Bodies."

"So, the capture of your father was essentially treating him as an experimental subject."

"Now you should understand why our Dark Night Association has made the overthrow of the Great Xia Royal Family our only goal, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen fell silent.

Originally, he had thought his father was captured simply because he was too weak, never realizing there was such a hidden secret behind it.

The Great Xia Royal Family was actually capturing people with special constitutions across the country and stripping them of those constitutions, which was truly heinous.

He wasn’t sure if everything Qin Xianzi had said was true, but if it was, then the Great Xia Royal Family was far too cruel.

To forcibly strip away a person’s special constitution must cause immense harm to that individual.

Not to mention, the process of extracting what is called Source Energy might also involve physical torment.

Every holder of a special constitution is a proud and arrogant being. Such a hit would probably drive anyone with a slightly weaker mental fortitude towards seeking death, right?

One can only imagine how much suffering his father is enduring now.

"You don’t have to worry. Our Dark Night Association is capable of contending with the Great Xia Royal Family. After operating for so many years, our power is far greater than what you have seen. Our very survival under the pursuit of the Great Xia Royal Family is proof enough of our strength."

Piano Girl continued.

She was afraid of overwhelming Ling Chen, so she spoke words of comfort.

To instill confidence in Ling Chen.

"Alright, you can go back now. If you decide to join us, just come find me."

Piano Girl said with a smile.

She understood restraint and knew not to rush things.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded and then left the Drunken Fairy Building with Ling Wu.

Seeing Ling Chen’s low spirits, Ling Wu tactfully refrained from asking too many questions.

After their departure, an old woman walked out from behind the screen: "Miss, will he join us?"

"Perhaps?"

Piano Girl smiled and said: "Even if he does not join us, he will still deal with the Xia Royal Family. His father is still within the Royal Capital, after all!"

...

"Finally, they’ve come out!"

Watching the departing figures of Ling Chen and company, a figure grinned and followed after them.

This person was also a Bronze Killer from the Dark Night Association.

Codename Green Seven.

He trailed behind Ling Chen and company, and upon noticing Ling Chen’s distraction, he felt even more thrilled.

"The intelligence reports that he is at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet I cannot sense it!"

Green Seven thought to himself.

Inability to sense cultivation level usually means two things: either the other party’s cultivation is higher than one’s own, or the other party possesses a treasure that conceals their cultivation level.

However, Ling Chen is too young; even if he is highly talented, could his cultivation really surpass my own?

So, Green Seven naturally assumed that Ling Chen fell into the second category, possessing a treasure.

"Die, boy!"

Green Seven shouted softly, rapidly closing in on Ling Chen, then suddenly lashed out viciously.

Although it was on a bustling street, he made his move without hesitation.

In Ling Chen’s current state, he was an ideal target for assassination.

Entering a dark alley may cause the other party to become more vigilant.

One of the killer’s principles is to adapt to the situation.

A dagger flashing with cold light lunged viciously at Ling Chen.

"Hm?"

It was at this moment that Ling Chen sensed it.

"People from the Dark Night?"

With a thought, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis burst forth from the Heavenly Spirit, forming a layer of defense behind his head.

"Bang!"

Just as Green Seven’s dagger was about to penetrate Ling Chen’s head, it was blocked by a layer of invisible Divine Soul Telekinesis.

"Divine Soul Telekinesis?"

Green Seven exclaimed in shock.

His strike, in pursuit of speed, had not employed any Spirit Art, relying solely on Spiritual Power.

Yet even then, he was confident that below the Primordial Pill Realm, his strike would be fatal!

However, Ling Chen was able to completely block it with Divine Soul Telekinesis; did this not indicate that Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Realm had reached the Transformation Stage, on par with the Primordial Pill Realm?

"Transformation Stage?"

The thought of this term alone made Green Seven break out in cold sweat.

The Transformation Stage, that was a state from which one could launch Divine Soul Attacks!

Even if he wanted to flee, he probably could not!

"Die!"

Ling Chen, already in a foul mood, propelled a silver needle directly into Green Seven’s brow with Divine Soul Telekinesis.

"Thump!"

Green Seven fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Brother?"

Ling Wu was stunned.

She had not seen how Ling Chen had made his move, and the killer was just dead?

The street immediately erupted into chaos.

Ling Chen’s right hand grew firm as he blasted out a wave of Spiritual Power, shattering the killer’s head to obscure any traces of death by mental manipulation.

"Let’s go!"

Ling Chen grabbed Ling Wu’s stupefied hand and, using his movement technique, headed towards the True Martial Academy.
