Chapter 919: with translation of chapter title

Zhong Tian Zhi Yu

Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Yan Buji, Lin Qingli

Beyond the window, the market's clamor is shut out by the barrier, leaving only the clear clink of chopsticks against the porcelain bowl.

"Miss Lin, that new Azure Phoenix Feather Robe looks far better than it did at the realm barrier." He suddenly tossed his elbow out the window, eliciting a string of curses from the wandering cultivators below.

"It's just got a grease spot, really like..."

"If you're just bored, senior, why not cut to the chase?" Lin Qingli formed an ice blade on her fingertip to wipe away the grime; her personal jade tablet hidden in her sleeve had quietly logged thirty‑two formation‑breaking techniques, and the seals he placed are far more intricate than those at the realm barrier.

Golden Void Gate

Immortal Alliance

Soul-Locking Chain

"You! You're twisting the truth—aren't you?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything major—just get me a plausible identity," Yan Buji remarked casually.

"So you intend to head to my Golden Void Gate?" Lin Qingli eyed him warily.

Immortal Alliance Inspector, Cangwu City

"No problem, I'll come with you—you know what to say," Yan Buji said casually.

Swallow Desire Pot

West Sand, Inspector, Outer Gate disciple

Afterimage Stone

Spiritual Stone, Immortal Alliance Dark Guard, Soul-Locking Curse

Lin Qingli's pupils narrowed. The tattoo was unmistakably the skin Yan Buji had ripped from an unfortunate wandering cultivator the night before, but now it shimmered with authentic Immortal Alliance curse energy.

West Sand Defense Line, Monster Tribe, Spirit Spear, Spirit Cannon

Monster Tribe, Spirit Cannon

Lin Qingli clenched her jaw. This was clearly uncovered by her senior fellow disciples, but the credit went entirely to him.

Inspector, Afterimage Stone, Spirit Cannon

Great Hero City, Fox Tribe

His voice broke off, and he curled up on the ground in agony, his neck veins straining against a soul‑searching seal.

Inspector, Soul-Devouring Curse

"He's certainly loyal." The inspector sealed Yan Buji's vital points with a flick of his finger, then turned to Lin Qingli and asked, "How can you prove this isn't a monster tribe counter‑espionage scheme?"

Ice Silk

Tiger Talisman

Black Armor Guard Token

Around the corner of the corridor.

Soul-Burning Curse

"You're not as skilled as you think, senior." Lin Qingli watched the soul‑locking curse on his neck fade and said, "Even the Immortal Alliance Dark Guard's seals can be counterfeited."

"It's a give‑and‑take." Yan Buji shoved her against the vermilion‑lacquered pillar, and the tendrils reaching from the Swallow Desire Pot snaked up to snatch her jade hairpin.

"For instance, shouldn't you go check out the armory now, Miss?"

As the hairpin turned to dust in the pot, a blast erupted from the inn's southeast corner.

Amid the patrol guards' cries, Yan Buji leaned to her ear and smirked, "Look, someone's in a hurry."

Before long, they stepped into a room.

Lin Qingli's ice silk slipped silently onto the window latch and she said, "If you want to verify the Black Armor Guard token, why not head to the armory now?"

A bolt of red light smashed the antique shelf behind her, sending twelve information jade slips flying to the floor.

Inspector, Spirit Cannon

He tossed out an aged map, and its ink markings warped into monster‑tribe writing.

Blackwater Marsh, Dragon Burial Gully

Three partridge calls echoed outside the window, marking a brief lapse in the Immortal Alliance patrol's shift change.

Tiger Talisman

Lin Qingli stared, astonished—these intelligence operatives usually have just one contact, unless he could pull this off in such a brief span...

Wenwu Fire, Tiger Talisman, Poison-Coated Crossbow Bolts, Cangwu City, Heavenly Workshop

The ice silk coiled tight around his wrist, and a frost glimmered in Lin Qingli's eyes. "Are you trying to steal the Immortal Alliance's weapons?"

Swallow Desire Pot, Inspector

The night watch drum thumped through the walls, and at the second beat of the midnight clapper, Lin Qingli gritted her teeth and said, "You need to break the seal on me."

"No hurry—if this succeeds, I'll give you a thirty percent cut." Yan Buji slid the jade slips across the table and added, "I'll also teach you the first phrase to undo the seal on your neck."

"You!"

Yan Buji squinted and said, "If the Immortal Alliance is fighting the monster tribe, I ought to use some future identity to claim a piece of this huge pie—do you really want to risk life and death for them, Miss?"

Lin Qingli gritted her teeth in response.

Not bad, she admits she was moved by the benefits Yan Buji gave.
