Chapter 40: Why Are You Guys Here?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After finishing the meal,
the Crimson Cetan wanted to return to Xiao Ranโs arm but was stopped.
โThereโs no hurry,โ Xiao Ran said. ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐w๐๐nov๐ฆ๐น.๐o๐ถ
โIs there anything else?โ
With a flip of his hand, the Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire appeared in his palm. He looked at the Crimson Cetan with a wide grin. โSpit out some of your Crimson Cetan Holy Fire.โ
The Crimson Cetanโs expression froze. He was so shocked that he almost toppled over. โNo! This is my elemental life flame. Once itโs lost, my vital energy will also suffer.โ
โWell thought out.โ Xiao Ran nodded.
The destructive sword intent burst forth. As the formless sword energy converged, it took the form of a gigantic sword and hung menacingly behind the terrified demon.
A keen and sharp sword aura locked onto the hapless demon.
The Crimson Cetan walked up with a forced smile. โI havenโt finished speaking! As long as you give me some time, the depleted vital energy can be restored.โ
There was no free lunch in this world.
He spewed out the Crimson Cetan Holy Fire and it fused it with the Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire.
Previously, after the Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire devoured the power of the Crimson Devil Sky Fire, its power doubled. Now that it had absorbed the Crimson Cetan Holy Fire, it had become even more powerful.
When the Crimson Cetan finally became weak and debilitated, Xiao Ran put away the Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire.
โYouโre very sensible.โ
โAs long as you are satisfied.โ Turning into a streak of red light, the Crimson Cetan hurriedly shot back into his wrist.
Xiao Ran then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Late at night,
a group of uninvited guests appeared outside his courtyard.
The leader was called Green Dragnet, Malevolent Earthโs right-hand woman.
โThis is the place?โ Green Dragnet asked incredulously.
โ98 Jingwen Square. Yes, this is the right place,โ the subordinate replied.
โA mere dungeon guard, newly transferred into the Divine Sword Guards for less than three days, yet he could afford a house in the capital cityโs flourishing area. This guy has been quite greedy!โ Green Dragnetโs eyes burned with envy. f๐ฟe๐๐ธe๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ก.c๐๐ฆ
โAfter we take him down, you guys can search the place and take all the money.โ
She raised her right hand and was about to give the order to attack.
Light footsteps could be heard distinctly in the darkness.
When she saw who it was, Green Dragnet furrowed her brows in displeasure. โWhy are you here?โ
The newly arrived guy was of the same rank as her. โI went to investigate that guy, Little Zhou. He actually hid his ass in the Divine Sword Guards headquarters and didnโt come out.โ
Two more groups of people emerged from the darkness as if they had discussed this beforehand.
Good Lord.
The Four Guardian Deities under Malevolent Earthโs command had all arrived.
โWhy are all of you here?โ Green Dragnet glared at all of them with a cold steely gaze.
โYou think I want to? Li Heng is half-dead and still lying deep inside the Sacred Martial Bureau.โ
โShen Yiming is in the same condition as him. Although he is still alive, he is seriously injured this time. He is hiding in the Divine Sword Guards headquarters to recuperate.โ
Green Dragnet felt as if she had been screwed over.
After some discussion, they reached an agreement.
The four of them would share the reward for retrieving the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual equally.
They would also split all the money found inside the house equally.
They then entered the courtyard and rounded to the backyard.
Inside the room,
sensing the movement in the yard, Xiao Ran woke up from his deep sleep.
While he slept, his spiritual soul energy covered the entire dwelling compound. Not even the slightest movement could escape his auditory sense.
โSo many people? Are they all here for me?โ
He got off the bed and walked outside.
Outside the room,
Green Dragnet and the other three looked at each other and nodded. They gave the order for their men to take action.
Squeak!
Before their subordinates could rush in, the door opened and Xiao Ran walked out.
โWow, itโs quite lively! There are so many people here!โ
โEh! How did you notice?โ Green Dragnet asked in shock.
โThis is my home. If I donโt even know when guests have arrived in my own home, I would have died many times by now,โ Xiao Ran said.
One Guardian Deity came forward and said impatiently, โWhy are you talking so much nonsense with him? Take him down and make him spill the whereabouts of the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual.โ
Green Dragnet took a step forward, confident that they had the advantage here. โAre you going to hand over the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual voluntarily, or do you want us to help you recall?โ
Xiao Ran expressed surprise. โThe โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual is in Qin Fangzhenโs hands. It should have been handed over to Emperor Sheng Wen by now. If you want it, you can go to the palace to get it.โ
The Four Guardian Deitiesโ eyes blazed with anticipation.
Previously, they suspected that Xiao Ran wouldnโt know anything about the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual.
Now there was no doubt that he definitely knew of its existence.
โHave you looked through the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual?โ Green Dragnet asked again.
โItโs quite interesting, but itโs not worth mentioning. The Celestial Varg Guards that are nurtured using secret techniques can only wreak havoc at the Connate Realm level. They are not even advanced enough to deal with those at the Master Realm,โ Xiao Ran said.
โYouโve really read it?โ Green Dragnet asked excitedly.
She had searched far and wide for it, now it was within her reach without the need to expend any effort.
โWhat do you know? Before the Celestial Varg Guards have established their organizational structure, they are indeed not scary. Once their numbers reach a certain level, they will have the ability to even take on a Grand Master,โ Green Dragnet explained imperiously.
โThe price is too high.โ Xiao Ran shook his head.
โAre you going to hand it over or not?โ
โWhatโs your relationship with the Massacre Matchmaker?โ
When she heard that,
Green Dragnetโs face clouded over as she retorted scornfully, โSheโs just a piece of trash! She took our money but canโt even do anything properly.โ
โNow I understand.โ Xiao Ran nodded.
โIโll ask you one last time. Are you going to hand it over or not?โ
โIโve already told you. The thing is with Emperor Sheng Wen. If you want it, you have to go to the palace.โ
Green Dragnet laughed out malevolently, โIโm giving you a chance, yet you refuse to take it!โ
A group of subordinates rushed forward.
โI donโt want to dirty my house,โ Xiao Ran said.
Green Dragnet and the other three were stunned. Without waiting for them to open their mouths, immense spiritual soul energy gushed out. In tandem with this Xiao Ran mobilized the Inescapable Heaven and Earth Web which covered the sky, trapping all of them in fell swoop.
He brought them out of the courtyard and dropped them down at an abandoned dilapidated courtyard.
His spiritual soul energy transformed into sharp blades that slashed them to death. Other than Green Dragnet, everyone else was killed, including the other three Guardian Deities.
Thump!
Green Dragnet knelt on the ground with prescient speed, โMy Lord, I was wrong, please donโt kill me!โ
The Four Guardian Deities were all Level 1 Grand Masters. In front of this character, they could offer up no resistance at all. They were killed with simply a wave of his hands. He could even fly through the air with them in tow. This was something that only an ancient monster at the Earth Realm level could do.
โWho are you guys? Do you still have any accomplices in the capital city?โ Xiao Ran asked.
โMy name is Green Dragnet, and I am an assassin of the Yama group. I have come here on the orders of Lord Malevolent Earth to retrieve the โCelestial Varg Guardsโ manual.โ Green Dragnet spilled everything like pouring beans. She did not even need torture to reveal everything she knew.
Even the location of their rendezvous at the Northern Boulevard, the Scholar Provisions Shop, was mentioned.
โThis middleman takes money but doesnโt do her job. She even betrayed the privacy of her customers.โ Xiao Ran made a mental note of the address.
โMy Lord, Iโve already told you everything I know. Can I leave now?โ
โLet me send you on your way!โ
โThereโs no need to trouble you, my Lord. I can do it myself.โ Green Dragnet jumped in fright.
โItโs no trouble,โ Xiao Ran replied.
With a flick of his finger, the surrounding blades composed of spiritual soul energy instantly killed her.
The Golden Tome of Creation flipped open to a page and revealed the crimes of these people. It then displayed three items: one million Mastery Points, fifty years of Martial Arts evolution, and Basiliskโs Touch (Heaven-rank Low-grade Spiritual Skill).
There were so many of them, and even the weakest among them was at the Connate Realm level. It was perfect when they were added together.
On the other hand, the โBasiliskโs Touchโ was a very special skill.
Effect: Petrify the target and forcefully seal it.
It was very powerful indeed.
