Chapter 464: The Command of the Murmurs
After finishing this stroke, Cao Yuan felt as if he had lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
The black malevolent flames dissipated into the air. Cao Yuan, drenched in sweat, lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot. Beside him, Bai Li Pang Pang had already put away the restraints that had been locked onto him and helped him up from the ground.
“Is the training time over?” Cao Yuan asked weakly.
An Qing Yu nodded, “Time’s up.”
“Old Cao, you really tortured me this afternoon,” Bai Li Pang Pang wiped the sweat from his forehead and patted his head. “Listening to your silly laughter all afternoon, I feel like I still have auditory hallucinations…”
Cao Yuan looked down at the tic-tac-toe grid on the ground. In the bottom right corner, a large “X” occupied the space of four squares.
According to the rules of tic-tac-toe, this move was completely a foul, but it didn’t matter to him. Being able to control himself in a frenzied state and draw a symbol was already a crucial step on the path to mastering the “Black King’s Decimation.”
After this attempt, he seemed to have grasped some key points.
“Where’s Lin Qiye? Is he still not done?” An Qing Yu seemed to remember something and asked in confusion.
“He and Jia Lan went outside to find a place to train. I don’t know how they’re doing now…” Bai Li Pang Pang glanced at the time on the wall; it was getting late outside. “Shall we go look for them? It’s almost mealtime.”
The three of them left the warehouse, circled around, and finally heard a series of booming sounds coming from afar.
Golden pillars of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavy clouds and creating several holes. Blinding flames and darkness surged where the pillars rose, and terrifying energy waves spilled out.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yuan’s expression turned strange. “Are you sure… they’re training?”
“Let’s go take a look.”
The three rushed toward the source of the sound and arrived at the devastated battlefield, stopping in their tracks.
They saw two figures, one blue and one black, rapidly colliding in mid-air. Darkness and golden spear light divided the sky into two parts, and brilliant explosions burst forth, mushroom clouds rising slowly.
Lin Qiye held the “Praying Abyss” in his left hand and the “White Slasher” in his right, with a silver magic cube floating in front of him. He stood on a massive tree trunk, its thick roots entwined underground, deeply embedded in the shattered ground.
His body was covered in wounds, his hair disheveled in the wind, and his face was smeared with dirt and grime, looking as if he had just gone through an extremely brutal battle!
“Jia Lan… you can almost stop now!” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but shout.
Whoosh—!!
A golden pillar of light brushed past his body, nearly dissolving him in mid-air. Jia Lan, holding the “Heaven’s Gap” spear, stood on the ground with a chilling killing intent. With a flick of her spear, she instantly pierced through the massive tree.
Bai Li Pang Pang and the others were dumbfounded.
“Their training is too intense, right?” Bai Li Pang Pang smacked his lips. “Compared to them, I think Old Cao, you look quite cute after darkening…”
Cao Yuan twitched at the corner of his mouth.
“Jia Lan, it’s really enough! The training time is over!”
“Jia Lan, I was wrong just now. I sincerely apologize to you!”
“I’ll give you two extra chicken legs for lunch! Oh no, three!”
“…”
While dodging Jia Lan’s golden spear light in mid-air, Lin Qiye kept trying to persuade her, his lips nearly worn out.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jia Lan’s grip on the spear hesitated slightly, showing some uncertainty.
After fighting for so long, her anger had mostly dissipated. Since Lin Qiye was so sincere… maybe it wouldn’t be bad to stop here?
After pondering for a moment, she slowly extended four fingers.
“Alright! Four chicken legs! It’s settled!” Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing Lin Qiye’s promise, Jia Lan finally retracted her “Heaven’s Gap,” turned her head to huff at Lin Qiye, and walked toward the warehouse.
Bai Li Pang Pang and the others instinctively made way for her.
“Qiye, your training is so serious,” Cao Yuan said solemnly. “If someone didn’t know better, they might think Jia Lan wanted to kill you.”
Lin Qiye: …
“Let’s go eat.” Lin Qiye waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to say more, and silently walked toward the warehouse.
Half an hour later.
Bai Li Pang Pang, Cao Yuan, and An Qing Yu looked at their empty bowls, then glanced at the chicken leg in Zhou Ping’s bowl, and finally looked at Jia Lan’s bowl, which was overflowing with chicken legs, falling into deep thought…
“Qiye, why don’t the three of us have chicken legs?” Bai Li Pang Pang couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “Because you guys can’t beat me.”
“…”
……
In the Ancient God Church.
Sitting on the Thorn Throne, the Whisperer looked at the two standing below and showed a satisfied expression.
“Very good, this time you not only completed the mission and killed Bai Li Tu Ming, but you also managed to kill Bai Li Xin. This indeed exceeded my expectations.”
The Ninth Seat respectfully spoke, “Reporting to Lord Whisperer, the kill of Bai Li Xin was mainly due to Shen Qing Zhu’s efforts.”
The Whisperer raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the silent Shen Qing Zhu, his appreciation growing even stronger.
“Shen Qing Zhu, you did very well this time. With Bai Li Xin and Bai Li Tu Ming dead, the Bai Li Group will surely be left leaderless, and their monopoly on the Great Xia’s forbidden items will come to a complete halt. This is a great benefit for both the Ancient God Church and the ‘Believers.'”
Shen Qing Zhu slightly bowed, “Thank you for your praise, Lord Whisperer.”
The Whisperer seemed to remember something and said, “Next, I need you to go to Lin Tang City.”
“Lin Tang?” The Ninth Seat asked in confusion, “Are we both going together?”
“Not just you two; the Third Seat has already arrived in Lin Tang, and the Seventh Seat is also on the way.”
Shen Qing Zhu’s brow furrowed slightly, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.
The Ninth Seat pondered, “Lord Whisperer, what is our mission this time…”
“You’ll find out when you arrive; the Third Seat will tell you,” the Whisperer said calmly. “Once I finish dealing with my current matters, I will also head over.”
The Ninth Seat nodded, not asking further questions, and directly left the church with Shen Qing Zhu.
“To mobilize four Believers to Lin Tang at the same time? That’s nearly all of the Believers’ combat power right now. What could be in Lin Tang?” After leaving the church, Shen Qing Zhu frowned in thought.
“I’m not sure either,” the Ninth Seat shook his head. “But since Lord Whisperer has given such orders, there must be his reasons. We just need to follow them.”
