Chapter 293: The Plot of the Evil God Alliance

Three days later.

Outside Fengsheng Island.

The old man stroked his beard, frowning in thought: "Wang Guan, are you certain you saw tens of thousands of monsters on the island, along with that peerless powerhouse?"

"Uncle-Master, it is true." Even now, the shock in Wang Guan's heart had not fully dissipated.

"But... the Nine Directions Hunyuan Instrument did not detect the aura of any powerhouse... is it possible... that you were trapped in an illusion?" The old man was the honorary dean of the First Immortal Academy.

But in truth, he was the real dean with actual power.

"Uncle-Master, it is what I saw with my own eyes; it was not an illusion," Wang Guan said hurriedly.

How could that possibly be an illusion?

He still had two classmates who had perished inside.

"I have already investigated... and did not discover the remains of any monsters.

If what you say... is true, then it means the waters here run very deep.

This matter... I need to report to the sect and let the high-level members of the sect come to investigate."

The old man frowned, his gaze complex.

Beside him, Wang Guan thought of that senior, and then thought of Zhuge Anran, as well as Zhuge Anran's father.

In the end, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

Since that senior had chosen not to reveal his name.

He naturally could not forcibly investigate the senior's identity.

Such a powerhouse, he feared, would not even be considered anything in the eyes of the Sect Master.

"Uncle-Master, isn't the energy level of this world very low?

Why would a powerhouse of that level appear?"

Wang Guan could not fathom it.

The energy level of a world concerns the upper limit of that world.

Logically speaking, this world should not give birth to overly powerful beings.

That senior who helped them could still be said to be from the Tianfang Alliance.

But those monsters were clearly native creatures.

"Perhaps, this world is not as simple as we see it."

The old man said slowly.

"If there really are such terrifying monsters, I fear our Fengxue Sect will no longer be able to occupy this world."

At that time, I fear we will have to seek help from other sects.

Or, depending on the situation, abandon this world.

The old man took one last look at Fengsheng Island and left with Wang Guan.

He felt that in this world, a storm was coming.

With his strength, he dared not investigate Fengsheng Island any further.

He had come to this world to retire, not to seek death.

Fengsheng Island.

Lin Chao sat on a tree, a smile appearing on his face.

"Playing hide-and-seek?"

Ahead was a dense forest, with ancient trees reaching toward the sky, sunlight pouring down and carving out mottled light and shadows.

In the forest, birds chirped and insects fluttered about, full of vitality.

Yet, hidden within such a forest was a terrifying monster.

Lin Chao's gaze swept across the forest, and he stood motionless.

Suddenly, his hand landed on a large tree.

In the Void, a massive figure revealed itself.

His entire body was covered in bone armor, with barbs growing on his back; his appearance was incomparably ferocious, enough to stop a child from crying.

But at this moment, this terrifying monster was trembling all over, a look of fear on his face, like a frightened mouse.

"Spare me... spare me..."

Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

He paid no heed to the pleas of this Blood Count.

"Are you not skilled in divination?

Can you divine whether you have a bloody disaster today?"

A burst of Innate Power erupted.

This Count-level Blood Clan member's blood splattered on the spot.

Countless memories also flooded into Lin Chao's mind.

"No different from the previous ones... only..."

Lin Chao sighed slightly.

He did not expect that in the memories of this Count-level Blood Clan member, he would actually see Yusu.

Back then, Yusu, dressed in white, had taken advantage of the moonlight to come alone to find this Blood Clan member.

This Blood Clan member was skilled in divination.

At that time, Yusu had traded one-tenth of her own Innate Qi and Blood in exchange for the Blood Clan member's divination.

The content of the divination was the whereabouts of Xu Ling.

Unfortunately, there was no result.

Later, Yusu traded one-tenth of her Innate Qi and Blood to divine whether Xu Ling was alive or dead.

At the time, the information received was that he was alive.

Yusu drifted away.

"In history, how many things have been sealed away that no one knows about?"

Lin Chao sighed.

Not to mention history, just in reality, how much information is inaccessible and missed by us?

Burying this memory, Lin Chao turned this Count-level Blood Clan into ashes, condensing them into a Blood Bead.

"How should one enter the Inner World?"

To be honest, Lin Chao wanted to enter the Inner World to have a look.

After all, the Inner World should contain a large number of God Positions.

These things were also very valuable to him.

"Unfortunately, through the memories of these people, I have not found a way to enter the Inner World.

However, the connection between the Inner World and the Outer World is becoming deeper and deeper.

I fear that before long, the two will connect."

Lin Chao withdrew his gaze.

"It is time to go to the Black Tremor Building."

This building had already become his target, and naturally, he would not let it go.

"This is the sixth one. After taking this one, I fear those gods are already considering how to deal with me.

But... so what?"

Lin Chao's figure vanished.

Meanwhile, the Residents participating in this task all received a notification that the task had ended.

These Residents were overjoyed.

They had merely been hiding on a small island, staying in a hotel.

They had encountered nothing, yet this S-rank Task had changed.

After the task ended, a rumor spread within the Black Tremor Building.

The mysterious powerhouse from the Qijiao Building would be moving into the building.

Most Residents showed joy, feeling that hope had arrived.

There were also those who lamented why he hadn't come sooner; otherwise, their loved ones would not have died in the previous task.

There was also a small number of Residents whose hearts were full of apprehension, feeling that the one from the Qijiao Building was not a good person.

However, Lin Chao's tentacles had already reached into the Black Tremor Building.

In the Void, a woman in black clothes had eyes full of killing intent.

She looked at the cave in front of her, her eyes full of rage: "Qijiao... what exactly do you mean by reaching your hand into my building?"

The woman stood in the air, and the Void itself trembled.

Yet, from within the cave, there was no response from Qijiao at all.

"Damn it!"

Black Tremor pushed a palm forward, and countless Divine Power fluctuated.

Inside the cave, turmoil occurred once again.

Black Tremor did not hold back at all with this palm.

"Don't think that just because you are injured, I will show you any mercy!

If you reach your hand toward my God Position, don't even think about waking up in this lifetime!"

Black Tremor pushed her palm forward, launching another attack.

Qijiao, inside the cave, took another hit.

Black Tremor still did not feel satisfied, but she did not take any other actions.

Not long after, a group of gods gathered.

"Black Tremor, has Qijiao reached his hand into your building too?" a god with two horns on his head asked.

"Yes," Black Tremor replied, a trace of anger still on her face.

"Qijiao... has gone too far," a god said with rage in his eyes. "This matter must have been coordinated with his brother, Qi Ping."

These Evil Gods could not cross the Tianfang Alliance's defensive line to enter that world with their true bodies.

Qijiao was different; Qijiao and his brother were special creatures known as Void Hatchlings.

They could bypass the Tianfang Alliance's defensive line.

It was precisely because of Qijiao that they learned of that world.

Unfortunately, Qijiao had been severely injured, and the only one left who could enter that world was Qi Ping.

The misunderstanding was thus created.

"Qijiao might have long since abandoned the body in the cave.

Now, they have set their sights on the buildings; their intentions are punishable."

The buildings were Supreme Treasures, and they also contained parts of their God Positions.

It was precisely because Qijiao discovered that world that they had united to place a big bet.

As a result, now, Qijiao seemed to be plotting against them.

Not only do they covet the God Position of that world, they also covet the Building and their God Positions.

How could they not be enraged?

"The one stirring up trouble in the Building must be Qi Ping.

Qi Ping's strength is weak, but he is also a Half-step Eighth Order.

We need to find a way to eliminate him, otherwise..."

Otherwise, their Supreme Treasure and God Positions will become someone else's wedding dress.

"But... we simply cannot break through the Tianfang Alliance's blockade to enter that world."

Hei Zhan frowned, a look of irritation on his face.

This group of Evil Gods is fickle, has committed countless slaughters, and is synonymous with chaos.

"Go find Mo Jia; he might have a way."

The eyes of the crowd lit up.

Mo Jia holds an extremely high status within the Evil God Alliance.

They did not tell Mo Jia about the matter of that world this time.

After all, Mo Jia's strength is extremely formidable; if he knew, their harvest would be much less.

Now, they have no choice but to seek Mo Jia's help.

The day of the Spring Festival.

Kyoto is peaceful, with continuous spring rain.

"It's a good thing I borrowed some money from the loan shark, otherwise I wouldn't even have money for a ride."

Lin Chao sighed.

Originally, Huang Zhongqian had prepared a bank card for him.

Unfortunately, for some reason, that money could no longer be withdrawn.

At this moment, Lin Chao is walking on the road in Kyoto, his mood calm.

Huang Hun invited him to the Spring Festival, and having nothing to do, he came to take a look.

Of course, the most important reason is also because Lin Chao newly discovered a Building.

The actual address of that Building seems to be in Kyoto.

The entire Kyoto has the appearance of a modern city.

High-rise buildings stand in great numbers, and the traffic is like a flowing stream.

This is a scene completely different from a few years ago.

Soon, Lin Chao hailed a taxi and stopped in front of a hotel.

The taxi driver had a gentle smile on his face: "You're quite something, young man, to be able to stay at the Crown Hotel."

The Crown Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Kyoto.

Those who can stay in this hotel are all people of status.

Now, this hotel is specifically used to host guests for the Spring Festival.

Lin Chao paid the fare and got out of the taxi.

In the small Square ahead, a group of young men and women were gathered, blocking the path forward several layers deep, occasionally letting out screams.

"Wow, wow, wow! Liu Yuze is here!"

"Yuze, I love you!"

"Yuze is much more handsome in person than in photos!"

These people are like fanatical fans.

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

Liu Yuze?

He seems to have heard this name before.

He was the champion of the previous Martial Arts grand competition and is quite handsome.

He didn't expect him to have so many fans.

Liu Yuze was in the crowd, enjoying the countless admiring gazes, a look of arrogance on his face.

With guards clearing the way, Liu Yuze entered the hotel.

The hotel manager came out personally to welcome him, with a grand display.

A full half-hour passed before more than half of the fanatical men and women in the Square had left.

Lin Chao came out of the cafe next door and walked straight toward the hotel.

A man with a tall, straight figure wearing a uniform stepped forward with a polite smile on his face: "Sir, please show your invitation."

"Alright." Lin Chao casually gave the invitation to the man.

The waiter took the invitation and began to check it carefully.

However, as he looked at the invitation and then at Lin Chao, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

"Alright." Lin Chao did not find it troublesome.

With endless lifespan, his mindset has become increasingly relaxed.

The waiter stepped back and turned on his walkie-talkie.

"Manager Huang... a new guest has arrived, and his invitation... is Gold-rimmed."

"Gold-rimmed? Keep him calm, I'm coming down immediately." The manager is currently showing Liu Yuze around the surrounding environment.

Every guest with a Gold-bordered invitation has a very noble status, and the accommodation arranged for them in the hotel is also high-end and excellent.

"But... his Gold border is a bit different from others; there are other patterns on it."

"Ah?"

"There is a flower on it."

"What?"

The manager's expression changed slightly.

He hurriedly walked over: "Mr. Liu, I have some matters to attend to, my apologies."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left without waiting for Liu Yuze to respond.

Liu Yuze, standing to the side, frowned, revealing a thoughtful look.

Who has arrived?

Wang Guan?

Or someone else?

On the other side, in the manor, Huang Hun, who was riding a horse, pulled on the reins.

"What? Mr. Xu Ling... has arrived?"

Huang Hun was incomparably pleasantly surprised and hurriedly jumped off the horse; disregarding his image, he shouted aloud.

"Prepare the car, I am going to the Crown."

At this moment, inside the Crown Hotel, the manager looked at the young man before him, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

However, he still maintained a polite smile: "Mr. Xu Ling, His Majesty Huang Hun says he will be here immediately."

In his heart, he kept guessing Xu Ling's identity.

Unfortunately, after guessing for a long time, he rejected them all.

"Mm."

"Mr. Xu Ling, the room we have prepared for you is on the 29th floor."

"Good."

Lin Chao was taciturn and rarely spoke.

This made the manager even more curious about Xu Ling's identity.

After all, the 29th floor is the top floor.

This floor has been empty for years.

It was only a few years ago that two mysterious women stayed there.

A few days ago, a young powerhouse from the Ancient Origin Realm stayed there.

Now, the 29th floor has welcomed a new Resident.

"Mr. Xu Ling, His Majesty Huang Hun will be here immediately.

If you encounter any problems, contact me directly by phone.

By the way, Mr. Xu Ling... living next door to you is the newly arrived powerhouse from the Ancient Origin Realm... Jianhua Gongzi."

The manager offered a reminder.

To him, both were existences he could not afford to offend.

"Mm."

Lin Chao responded and entered the room.

It must be said that the room was built with Ultimate luxury.

Rather than calling it a room, it would be better to call it an individual small villa.

It had a reception room, a bedroom, a small private swimming pool, and a gym, all belonging to him alone.

Lin Chao did not have much feeling about these things.

Having seen too much, he had long since remained calm and unruffled.

"No wonder most people... would indulge in a life of dissipation."

Lin Chao still sighed.

If there were no Supernatural, then power, beauty, enjoyment, and greed would make people obsessed.

At this time, on the 28th floor, Liu Yuze wore a gentle smile on his face as he was conversing with the nephew of a councilor.

At this moment, that young man raised an eyebrow, a look of longing on his face: "I heard that Jianhua Gongzi is staying upstairs; I wonder if it would be too abrupt for us to go and pay him a visit?"

Jianhua Gongzi is a big figure from the Ancient Origin Realm.

Even the head of the First Immortal Academy is very respectful toward him.

Liu Yuze knew that Jianhua Gongzi was a big figure even in the Ancient Origin Realm.

Even the Sect Master of the Fengxue Sect holds Jianhua Gongzi in high regard.

"Such a person..." Liu Yuze shook his head, "It is better not to be abrupt."

I am afraid that Jianhua Gongzi could change the national destiny of their world with a single word.

They can only treat such a top-tier figure with extreme caution.

"I heard a new guest arrived on the 29th floor; it is a guest of His Majesty Huang Hun.

His Majesty Huang Hun is also muddled; how could he arrange for a guest to stay on the 29th floor, on the same level as Jianhua Gongzi?"

When mentioning His Majesty Huang Hun, the young man's eyes held a trace of disdain, and even a trace of schadenfreude.

In the current Zhonglian Country, although Huang Hun has no real power, Huang Zhongqian, who represents Huang Hun in the council, still occupies a very powerful position.

The young man's family stands in opposition to Huang Zhongqian.

Therefore, the young man had quite a few complaints about Huang Hun.

What he hopes for most right now is for Jianhua Gongzi to have a conflict with Huang Hun's guest.

In that case, Huang Hun and Huang Zhongqian might be implicated, and their status in the council would be greatly diminished.

At that time, his family would reap the benefits.

Liu Yuze was slightly stunned, remembering the manager who had left earlier.

"Perhaps... they are also some extraordinary big shot."

"A big shot, are they as big as Jianhua Gongzi?

Moreover, in terms of status and position, even you, Brother Yuze, cannot stay on the twenty-ninth floor, so what right does that person have?

They are merely basking in Huang Hun's reflected glory," the young man said.

Liu Yuze smiled.

He was not stupid.

The young man's attempt to sow discord was too obvious; he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to fall into that trap.

The young man was likely trying to use his hand to figure out the identity of Huang Hun's guest.

"I am merely a cultivator; to the country, I have not made many contributions.

In Zhonglian Country, there are many people who can enjoy higher-standard treatment.

Those national scholars, those Academicians, all have the qualifications."

Liu Yuze was indeed very humble.

The young man wore a smile on his face: "Brother Yuze, you are too modest."

However, in his heart, he felt disdain for Liu Yuze's words.

Those Academicians are just people without the strength to truss a chicken; how could they compare to the noble status of Immortal Cultivators like them?

He was pondering how to approach Jianhua Gongzi, or perhaps, how to strike at the influence of the Huang faction.
