Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 121 - 92: Fox Mountain Swordsmanship Tournament (Part 2)

Chapter 121: Chapter 92: Fox Mountain Swordsmanship Tournament (Part 2)

Coincidentally it was bedtime; the disciples returned to their places, each racing toward the master’s bed! The fastest could squeeze into the master’s blanket and snuggle beside him. The slower ones could only sleep at the foot of the bed or even further aside.

Bai Mo simply hugged White Claw and let it lie down beside him.

Just as he was about to sneak a chestnut to the little fellow, he suddenly noticed Big Head next to White Claw also split a chestnut with it.

"Hmm, still quite kind after all."

...

At dusk, a few Fire Clouds drifted in the distant sky outside the window.

Bai Mo sat at the dining table, eating a bowl of dumplings.

Beside him, the phone screen was playing a video conference.

The host of the meeting was none other than Chairman Chen Shu.

The participants were mainly expert consultants from the committee.

"... Everyone’s heard about the recent perverse murder case, right?

"Today’s video conference allows us to discuss blood among ourselves and introduce the criminal’s profile."

On the main screen of the video conference appeared a sketch—a sketch that embarrassed everyone at the meeting.

Master Chong sent Bai Mo a private message.

[Did Chairman Chen Shu accidentally send the wrong image?]

[Talking about a criminal, how come there’s a figure sketch here?]

[Hehe]

The sketch unexpectedly depicted a slender yet voluptuous body.

Bai Mo also felt strange; did Chairman Chen Shu really make a mistake?

Then he heard Chairman Chen Shu’s voice in the meeting room.

"I didn’t send the wrong image!

"This is a physique sketch drawn by Committee Member Wu Qingyun after her battle with the enemy.

"Don’t be surprised; her path involves strong bodily perception. Despite the enemy’s loose clothing, after a few rounds, she sensed the enemy’s physique precisely."

Master Chong sent another private message to Bai Mo.

[That’s great!]

[I want to learn that too!]

Bai Mo curled his lips... this old man is truly incorrigible.

Chairman Chen Shu continued in the meeting room.

"We compared this physique with archives and databases, attempting to make a match.

"Ultimately, we’ve identified the criminal’s background.

"It’s a local child from West State City, who tested out of No. 47 Middle School, studied at Nantian University, and later became wanted. The name is Chen Anjing."

The experts and consultants were all astonished.

This criminal...turned out to be local talent from West State City?

Master Chong sent another private message.

[Damn, did this bastard return to West State City to pay back his hometown in some way?]

Unlike the laughing committee members, Chairman Chen Shu’s tone was rather serious.

In the meeting room, the main screen changed to a photo of Chen Anjing during college.

"Today’s briefing is to let everyone know that Chen Anjing is extremely dangerous!

"Our expert consultants are all Sequence Nine.

"But this Chen Anjing, young as she is, has already reached Sequence Eight’s [Blood Sword].

"If anyone encounters her or notices even the slightest clue, don’t act recklessly; report to the committee immediately. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"We have Committee Member Wu Qingyun and two Sequence Eight’s from Shangjing City standing by, ready to capture her."

Bai Mo ate his dumplings, thinking Chairman Chen Shu’s warning seemed a bit redundant. The consultants were terribly frightened; no one would voluntarily take on a Sequence Eight. But on second thought, revealing such a dangerous individual in West State City warranted briefing the consultants.

Chairman Chen Shu continued.

"Frankly, the confrontation between us and Chen Anjing is beyond Sequence Nine’s involvement.

"Even ordinary Sequence Eights can’t intervene.

"She’s a true genius, showing amazing dissection talent at a very young age.

"She amazed everyone during university anatomy classes.

"She naturally fit the Sword Immortal Path..."

Bai Mo slurped some dumpling soup.

He thought back to his childhood...did he ever show talent related to elixirs? Apparently not.

"We don’t know when she awakened the Immortal Dream or started Immortal Cultivation.

"But it’s been no more than three years.

"While most people struggle to advance, or get stuck at Sequence Nine, she’s already reached Sequence Eight.

"Additionally, according to Committee Member Wu Qingyun, she’s rapidly completing Sequence Eight’s cultivation content!

"The Sequence Eight sword skill [Beheading] typically requires years for old executioners to master in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

"But during her first murder, she killed over twenty people—at her first kill, her [Beheading] was just beginning, at the fifth kill, it was...mastered."

In front of the cellphone screen, Bai Mo noticed something unusual.

She mastered it by the fifth kill...what about the last dozen or so, why continue? Was she addicted? Considering her childhood quirks, perhaps it really was an addiction?

"The Sequence Eight sword skill [Throat Slitting] typically also requires years for old executioners to master in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

"She was only interrupted while practicing at Spring Sun Mansion; managed to cut one and a half people.

"But, according to Committee Member Wu Qingyun, her [Throat Slitting] is also mastered.

"In total, this evil and twisted genius is growing at a rapid pace.

"Everyone should be aware of the situation."

...

The underground parking lot was dimly lit.

The interior of the car cabin was even darker.

In the backseat, the phone screen illuminated a cool face, none other than Chen Anjing.

She too was attending a video conference.

The meeting host was Medicine Master Wang E, one of the founders of the Dark World.

"...Very good, [Throat Slitting] cultivation was completed even with interruptions, proving Anjing indeed is a genius.

"We can begin arrangements for [Heart Extraction] cultivation.

"Master Turtle, please assist Anjing with observation.

"Find an appropriate chance, a safe time and place."

The video meeting interface adjusted.

Chen Anjing’s face was enlarged on the screen, observed by Master Turtle beyond the screen.

In reality, her face was pale and exquisite, expressionless.

On the screen, her face pixels were low, slightly blurry.

But in Master Turtle’s eyes, her face extended lines of cause and effect. These connections were seeds she had planted, linking different people, potentially yielding different results at different times.

Video meeting became completely silent, no one spoke, fearing they might disrupt Master Turtle.

This divination process was lengthy, yet Chen Anjing remained patient, holding her phone still.

She knew Master Turtle needed effort to clearly see each line of cause and effect, spot enough to deduce the suitable cultivation opportunity for her.

Suddenly, someone typed in the conference room.

[Isn’t there a Sequence Seven Alchemist in West State City? Would his cause and effect lines be too heavy and burden Master Turtle?]

Wang E typed a reply.

[No problem. Last time, Master Turtle also divined the cause and effect line of Sequence Seven, only spat a puddle of blood, nothing serious]

Someone else typed in the conference room.

[Medicine Master Wang E, do you recall an herb called Forked Grass that can intensify cause and effect lines?]

[Suppose the one in West State City wears Forked Grass, could it harm Master Turtle?]

After a while, Wang E finally replied.

[I just asked Master Turtle’s disciple at the divination room’s door. Forked Grass won’t be a problem]

[A stem or two of Forked Grass won’t greatly affect cause and effect lines]

[Even with a kilo or two, Master Turtle can still withstand]

Yet another person typed in the conference room.

[What if the one in West State City wears more than a kilo or two?]

Wang E quickly replied, his tone somewhat irritable.

[Enough with the suppositions! Do you expect him to wear a cloak made entirely of Forked Grass?]

Realizing his tone was off, no one dared type anymore.

The meeting room stayed silent for much longer...

Finally, someone couldn’t help typing.

[The divination been going for an hour, still no outcome?]

[Medicine Master Wang E, perhaps you should check the divination room?]

Chen Anjing also found it puzzling.

Why was the divination taking so long?

Suddenly, across the video conference room, came a panic-stricken voice from Medicine Master Wang E.

"Damn it!

"Someone get life-saving medicine, Master Turtle’s bleeding from every orifice and is on the verge of collapse!"
