Chapter 275: Gifted by an Old Friend (Thanks to [Yu Luo Jing Tian Xia] for the three)

The vast manor, because of the arrival of Huang Zhongqian, saw its gloom dissipate slightly and became filled with joy.

Cups of wine were exchanged, and figures were reflected in one another.

"Uncle, are you here this time to cooperate with Zhang Yuanmou?" Huang Hun picked up his wine cup, his expression grave.

Huang Zhongqian paused slightly: "It depends on how the talks go.

However, if he, Zhang Yuanmou, truly wants to cooperate with me, he must let me take you away."

Beside him, a look of being moved flashed through Huang Hun's eyes.

His identity was special; for Huang Zhongqian to take him away would certainly be very difficult and require making many concessions.

"Zhang Yuanmou has the ambition of a wolf; this cooperation might not necessarily go smoothly." Thinking of something, a complex look flashed through Huang Zhongqian's eyes.

Among the three warlords, Zhang Yuanmou had the strongest power and the greatest ambition.

What Zhang Yuanmou had always wanted was to unify the world and ascend the throne as emperor.

"However, since I have come, if he, Zhang Yuanmou, wants to touch His Highness again, he must first ask me!" A look of determination flashed through Huang Zhongqian's eyes.

His eldest brother had treated him with immense kindness, so he naturally would not let his eldest brother's only heir be cut off just like that.

Huang Zhongqian chatted with Huang Hun.

Among other things, Huang Zhongqian proposed meeting Huang Hun's guard team.

Huang Hun naturally did not refuse.

His uncle was a military lord, so he would certainly do better in terms of defense than he did.

Moreover, his uncle was probably most eager to see that Xu Ling.

Not long after, Zhang He and the others appeared.

Seeing Huang Zhongqian, their faces carried expressions of excitement.

After all, Huang Zhongqian could be considered a big figure, and most importantly, he was a human who could rival the Blood Clan, making him extremely formidable.

Only Lin Chao remained calm; looking at Huang Zhongqian, he only revealed a trace of surprise.

With his keen eyes, he could see at a glance that Huang Zhongqian had taken Gene Serum and belonged to the Gene Warriors.

Back in the Qiyuan World, there were also many Gene Warriors among the Clones.

However, even the Gene Warriors of the Qiyuan World often had defects and low ceilings.

Not to mention the Gene Warriors of this world.

In his view, there was still much room for development in Gene Serum.

"Mr. Xu Ling, is this sword named Dao Sword?" At this moment, Huang Zhongqian examined Xu Ling, holding the Dao Sword, with a look of curiosity on his face.

In his observation, Xu Ling was as still as a mountain, no different from an Ordinary person.

If it weren't for Huang Hun saying that Xu Ling had been salvaged from the sea, he would have even thought this Xu Ling was just an Ordinary person.

Moreover, he did not sense the aura of the Blood Clan on Xu Ling.

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

He did not expect that someone would still know the name of the sword forged by Lao Huangtou.

"How did you obtain this sword, sir?" Huang Zhongqian asked.

"Gifted by the child of an old friend." There was a trace of loss in Lin Chao's words.

After these few hundred years of slumber, the affairs of the Holy Dynasty were still vivid in his mind.

He still remembered Lao Huangtou returning after fighting the Blood Clan for three hundred rounds, his back hunched and his hands on his waist.

He also remembered the vast snow, Yusu and Xiao Jing talking at length under a tree, their shoulders covered in snow.

Unfortunately, everyone in his memories from a hundred years ago no longer existed.

Yusu and Xiao Jing had likely also dissipated into the mists of history.

This was the fortune of a Longevity Being, and also the sorrow.

"The child of an old friend?" A smile appeared on Huang Zhongqian's face, "The Dao Sword was gifted by the ancestor of the Huang Clan to the old friend, the Longevity Being Zhuang Meng.

Now that this sword has been gifted to you, sir, by someone else, it is truly fate."

Lin Chao did not respond further.

Huang Zhongqian naturally did not know that this sword had been gifted to Lin Chao by the ancestor of the Huang Clan, and that Lin Chao was that very Longevity Being.

Ending the conversation, Huang Zhongqian looked at everyone, a look of gratitude on his face: "I will have to trouble you all with His Highness's safety."

Zhang He, the tall and thin woman, and others showed expressions of being flattered.

……

Returning to his room, Lin Chao kept practicing.

The Dao Sword was with Huang Hun, so Lin Chao was not worried about Huang Hun's safety.

A day later, Lin Chao rose and walked out of the room.

To break through to the Ninth Tier, relying solely on dull practice was not enough; more importantly, one had to temper the heart and experience the myriad states of the human world.

Every few days, Lin Chao would go out to relax.

"Mr. Xu Ling, going out again?" At this time, a tall woman walked over; although there was a scar on her face, her smile remained gentle and infectious.

The tall woman was named Liu Lu, and she was one of the members of Huang Hun's Guard Team.

Her past was that of a killer, Proficient in the art of killing.

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded, exchanged a few simple words, and bid farewell to Liu Lu.

Liu Lu watched Lin Chao's back, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, Lin Chao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have I been... noticed?"

The slight anomaly in Liu Lu just now had not escaped Lin Chao's perception.

But Lin Chao did not care.

In the world today, there is no Innate Realm.

On the surface, his strength belongs to the strongest.

If Liu Lu has any ulterior motives, just behead her.

Now, he has reached the Innate Realm in dozens of martial arts, and his strength is already comparable to the Seventh Rank Late Stage.

One step further, and it will be the Pseudo-Eighth Rank.

The distance to becoming a god is not far either.

Lin Chao has a premonition that if he practices hundreds of martial arts to the Innate Realm,

his strength will undergo a qualitative improvement.

Watching Lin Chao leave, Liu Lu took out a thick mobile phone and made a call.

"Xu Ling has gone out."

"Good."

From the other end of the phone came a low male voice.

Wen Kao's eyes held a sharp look.

He wanted to see for himself whether this Xu Ling was truly a Commander-level Vampire.

……

Unknowingly, Lin Chao walked into a small alley again.

He discovered that in the dark corners of the alley, one could see things not usually visible.

There were gaudily dressed young women waving at people, and also children running around with their bottoms bare.

At this moment, Lin Chao stopped his footsteps.

In front of him, a man in blue appeared.

"Is Your Excellency Mr. Xu Ling?" The person who arrived was none other than Wen Kao.

Recently, his uncle had arrived in Linhai City.

Wen Kao was feeling quite pleased with himself.

However, facing Xu Ling, he still wore a respectful expression.

After all, the other party was suspected to be a Commander-level Vampire.

"What is it, something the matter?" Lin Chao saw at a glance that the other party was not human, but a Blood Clan.

"Is Your Excellency a Blood Clan?" Wen Kao asked respectfully.

"No," Lin Chao answered indifferently.

Upon receiving this answer, the seriousness in Wen Kao's eyes vanished.

The Blood Clan takes pride in their identity as Blood Clan.

No member of the Blood Clan would hide their Blood Clan identity from their own kind.

Moreover, he had not smelled the scent of his own kind on Xu Ling.

Since that was the case, this Xu Ling was just an Ordinary person.

Why should he treat an Ordinary person, who was also an enemy, with respect?

He ignored Xu Ling and prepared to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that Huang Zhongqian had arrived in Linhai City, given his personality, he would have killed Xu Ling right then and there.

After all, it was a waste of his time and feelings.

And at this moment, a voice rang out: "What business do you have with me?"

The one who spoke was naturally Lin Chao.

He was not a robot, to let others finish asking their questions and then let them walk away.
