Chapter 39: DUAN JIAN
" What? You are leaving again? " Ye Zong asked.
" Yes. I am going somewhere for two weeks at most, since I am just adding some dependable fighting force. " I said.
" Dependable fighting force eh? For what? " Ye Zong asked.
" To bring down the hammer of Judgement upon Sacred Family. " I said in cold tone. " I believe that father-in-law has found the evidence of the Sacred Family colluding with the Dark Guild. Not to mention patriarch Shen's position as the Deputy Guild Leader of the Dark Guild. " I added.
" Hmm. Okay. I understand. " Ye Zong said.
" Ah! Here I have a project for father-in-law to handle. " I said as I pass a blueprint and a letter.
" These are? " Ye Zong asked.
" The blueprint is for the trap hole digging, while the letter is for obtaining the content of each trap hole from the Alchemist Association. With this plan, I hope that we can reduce the number of casualties when Demon Beast Horde attacks the city." I said.
" Hmm. Thank you for your huge contributions again LinJian. Glory City is very fortunate to have you as the protector. And I am also very fortunate that I have such great son-in-law. " Ye Zong said.
" Haha. Father-in-law is flattering. " I said. " Well then, excuse myself, as I am going to leave. " I added as I cupped my hand and bow, and then I leave the City Lord Mansion.
Alchemist Association.
" *sigh. " Yang Xin is sighing alone.
" What's wrong Xin'er? " I asked.
" Hmm. Ah. It's LinJian. " She said while attempting to catch me and bear hugging me, but I dodged her.
" Eh?? Why do you dodge? " Yang Xin asked.
" I have told you that your biological weapon is too much for me. Wait three years again, then I will let you hug me. " I said.
" It's no fun! " Yang Xin said as she pouted.
" Well then.. " I sneak behind her and embrace her. " I hope that you will forgive me with this. " I said as I breath at her ear.
" So, why have you come here LinJian? " Yang Xin starts breathing roughly as she asked.
" I am here to tell my Xin'er that if someone delivers a letter to retrieve the items that I requested some time last week, make sure that the one who is delivering the letter is not a Sacred Family's member, and then give it to the person who is delivering the letter. This is a serious matter, so don't mess this up okay Xin'er. " I said while smiling.
" En! Anything else? " Yang Xin asked again.
" I want you to prepare a lot of crystal bottle to contain some potions when I return later. " I answered.
" Eh? Leave? So, you are going out of Glory City again? Where are you going this time? " Yang Xin asked.
" Well, this is quite confidential, so I am sorry, but I cannot tell you, as the place I am going is really dangerous. " I said while heaving a sigh.
" Hmm. If that's so, then I can only do my best here and live up to your expectations. " Yang Xin said.
" Hehe. Xin'er is really understanding. " I said as I patted her head.
" Well then, I will head off then. " I said as I release Yang Xin and disappear.
" *sigh. Three years eh? " Yang Xin mumbles as she blushed.
Ten Millennium Spatial Array.
I directly go to some shaped towers and activated the inscriptions, and then rays of lights beamed on the array, and then the barrier emits white light.
I then jolted into the light, and as I expected. I arrived at vast wetland land. It is raining and dark, but I can still see some mountains shade ahead of me. Below me a giant stone array with twenty three holes to put the light stones and activating the array.
The first thing I do is skim the wetland and search for 23 light stones to activate the array later for my return. I manages to find light stones after 2 hours, and after that, I keep skimming the wetland and found the stele left by Emperor Kong Ming. And as I expected, the Ten Words of Maxim is scratched and I can't decipher it. I tried touching the stele, and as I touches it, the Temporal Demon Spirit book on my interspatial ring resonated with it, and then my consciousness is taken adrift and resonated with Kong Ming's intent, and I can see him floating on the air while sighing sadly.
I then listens to his speech, and then when I heard the Ten Words of Maxim, I feel as though nothing happened, but in fact, there is already something implanted inside my soul realm. When I observe my soul realm, to my surprise, on each side of the scale, golden bud and dark bud can be seen growing steadily, and even smoothen my control over the laws I comprehended. After Emperor Kong Ming finishes his speech, he fades away and my consciousness left the stele and head back into my body.
' Thank You Emperor Kong Ming. ' I said as I cupped my hands and bowed in front of the stele.
After that, I continue skimming the wetland and found the SilverWing Family's domain. Their domain is filled with trees, and there are many mines where they mine the blood crystals. I then walk closer there and realizes someone is eyeing and emitting killing intent.
I face to the direction and then revealed a smile.
" Sister. Don't you know that eyeing someone like that is kinda rude? " I said, and the figure that eyeing me is startled as she shows up.
" Who are you? " Sikong HongYue asked.
" I am a visitor from the outside. " I said as I stared at her Silver Wing.
" Outside? Why are you here? " Sikong HongYue asked coldly.
" Hmm. If I say I am here for you, then what will you do? " I asked, as I take out my dagger and parry her blade.
" Do you think that I won't kill you? " Sikong HongYue asked. " Tell me the truth or I will not show any mercy! " she added while said in low, cold voice.
" Hehe. I am here to heal you from your disease. " I said as I grinned.
" Huh? Why should I believe you? And what kind of disease are you talking about? " she asked as she pulls her sword.
" I am talking about how your body is slowly rejecting the wing as you grow older. " I said.
" ... How come you know about it? " Sikong HongYue asked with shocked expression.
" There is a book that explain about your SilverWing family's weakness and there is also the cure used to stop and heal the symptoms of the rejection. " I said.
" May I know your name? " Sikong HongYue asked.
" My name is Lei Jian, a descendant of the SilverLight family." I said.
" Liar! The SilverLight family has ceased to exist! Their family has been rundown even before the invasion of Demon Beast Horde ! " Sikong HongYue said in disbelief.
" Well then. If I am not a member of SilverLight family, then how do I know about your sickness? " I said. " My ancestor leaves that journal and I am here to fulfill their wishes. " I said.
" ... Well then, I shall take you to meet my father. " She said as she leads the way to the palace.
" Um. Sister. I wonder how I should address you? I don't want to keep calling you sister Sikong. " I said.
" HongYue. " Sikong HongYue answers, it maybe just my feeling, but her voice is gentler than before.
" Then I shall call you sister HongYue then. " I said. And then we continue going through the forest and enter the palace of the SilverWing.
In the throne room.
As I thought, what I will first witness here is the scene of Duan Jian who is shackled onto a tower and being whipped by the guards.
" Father. I am home. " Sikong HongYue said as she faces Sikong Yi who is sitting weakly on the throne while being massaged by three beautiful girls with revealing dress.
" En. Hmm? This is?? " Sikong Yi asked as he looked at me.
" He has the cure for our disease. " Sikong HongYue said.
" Hmm. Young Man. What are you aiming? " Sikong Yi asked as he sizes me up.
Noticing this, I adjust my aura into that of a Peak Silver Rank.
" I am here just to fulfill my ancestor's wish to heal the SilverWing family from it's incurable disease. " I said. " Besides, if it is not for my ancestor's request, I won't come to a damned place like this, while I can live carefreely on the other side! " I added.
" Other side? How can I believe you? " Sikong Yi snorted.
" I don't need uncle to believe me or whatsoever. I am here just to concoct the medicine. If Uncle doesn't want to believe me, then I will just leave this damned place, and let uncle die of your rejection. " I said as I turn around.
" Halt! Nephew. Uncle is joking, so how long do you need to concoct the medicine? " Sikong Yi said hurriedly.
" Hmm. Two weeks at most. " I said.
" Two weeks eh? Alright. I will prepare a room for you to concoct the medicine. " Sikong Yi said.
" And I have a request. " I said.
" What request? " Sikong Yi asked.
" I want to take that guy. " I said as I pointed at Duan Jian.
" Hmm. Why do you want to take that guy? " Sikong Yi asked.
" Medicine testing and also torture tester. " I said.
" Medicine and torture tester? Why? For medicine testing, I understand, but for torture, what for?" Sikong Yi said.
" Hehe. I am working in some squad called Intel collection squad, and I am in charge of extracting information by torture. " I said. " Looking at him getting whipped and not screaming reminds me of some subjects that no matter how much I torture won't even say a thing. " I added as I grinned evilly.
" Hmm. Then, nephew shall use him as how nephew see fit. I will ask some guards to take him there. " Sikong Yi said.
" Thank you Uncle. As a token of gratitude, I have a bag of TianFang grass. Uncle can brew this and relieve the pain on uncle's rejection. " I said as I passed the TianFang grass to Sikong Yi.
" En. Thank you nephew. " Sikong Yi said as he ordered his maids to brew the TianFang grass and I leave for my room.
After arriving at my room, I make a shadow and ordered it to hunt Netherlamp Behemots and salvage its meat and collect it's blood inside different interspatial rings, since I will be making a blood burst bombs for the Demon Beast Horde when I return to Glory City and the meat is for trading in the Divine Flames family market. After I give shadow two interspatial rings, he disappears and headed toward the wetland.
5 minutes later, there is knocking at my door.
When I open the door, as I thought, Duan Juan is escorted by two guards.
" Young Master Lei. We have brought him " the guard said as he kicked Duan Jian.
" Haha. Thank you brothers. Please accept this small gift as a token of appreciation. " I said as I give each guard a soul nurturing pill.
The guards are baffled when I give them the pill, but when they smell it, they smiled as they then leaves with bright face.
I then walk to Duan Jian, while looking at him. He looks at me with disdain and spit on the ground.
" Duan Jian is your name right? " I asked.
He could only stare at me and then nodded.
" How if I say that I will give you a slight, no a big chance for revenge against Sikong Yi, what will you do? " I asked.
" Why? Aren't you his nephew? " Duan Jian asked.
" Haha. It is just a hot-air for me to enter this place and access everything here. " I laughed. " So, are you going to take this chance or drop it? " I asked.
" If there is such chance, then I will take that bastard, Sikong Yi's head! " Duan Jian said.
" En. " I said as I take out a pill and feed it to him. He eats it without showing any hesitancy.
" How trusting. Aren't you afraid that I have done something with the pill I just gave you? " I asked.
" Since you can help me with my revenge, I shall believe in you! " Duan Jian said while crushing the pill and eats it.
" En! I have a method to make you stronger, but the price for that power is suffering pain for 10 days that makes you wish that you are better dead. " I said seriously.
" Heh! Haven't I, Duan Jian, suffered long enough? " Duan Jian said.
" Don't say it like that. If you lack will power, then I suggest you to back down. It is my last warning, but if you really wish to obtain it, then I won't stop you anymore. " I said as needles appear on my hand.
" Hmph! Even if I have to suffer for 10 years, I can still handle it. What a mere 10 days of suffering means when compared to the torture I have within my lifetime? " Duan Jian said.
" Hmm. Such great resolve! Well then, I shall start then. " I said as Great Sage puncture his acupoints for unlocking his bloodline.
1, 2, 3, ..., and when the thirty sixth needle is punctured, Duan Jian screamed like crazy as his bloodline is slowly awakened.
' Good Luck enduring the pain for 10 days. ' I thought as I leave him and rest.
