Chapter 288: 209: Gift and the Key to Secret Skills
“Once, under my control,”
“the Holy Sect’s actions were not excessive.”
“I gave orders.”
“Among the Four Saints, both Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird were loyal to me; they were responsible for watching over their subordinates, as well as the weaker White Tiger and Black Tortoise.”
“White Tiger has a brutal nature and ruthless behavior.”
“Thirty years ago, he slaughtered a whole village just because its residents were cautious of outsiders and refused to let him stay overnight.”
“At that time, the Martial Arts Association had just been established, and there were a limited number of martial artists.”
“Even though we resolved to capture him and pursued him within China’s borders,”
“due to his strong strength, combined with the limited technology at the time, it was difficult to investigate ordinary criminals, let alone powerful martial artists.”
“White Tiger escaped our pursuit for nearly a year, repeatedly committing crimes and staining his hands with the blood of many martial artists.”
“It was only after I established the Holy Sect and used breathing techniques, along with various resources as bait, that I managed to capture him. Then, I used the Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique to place shackles in his mind and restrain his actions.”
“As for Azure Dragon, he has a passion for martial arts and only respects the strong.”
“Whoever is stronger than him, he will submit.”
“As for Black Tortoise…” At this point,
Li Wuji smiled faintly.
“Since he’s already dead, there’s no need to say more.”
“Now.”
“Both Azure Dragon and White Tiger have submitted to the Respected Elder.”
“The shackles I once placed in White Tiger’s mind have been removed by the Respected Elder.”
“As for the specific plans and timings of the Respected Elder and Xiang Li’s actions, I am not yet aware.”
“In the Martial Arts Association, the Respected Elder has gradually begun to swallow up my forces, rendering me deaf and blind, unable to obtain information.”
“Most importantly, I’m worried that once they take action, the Holy Sect will also be involved.’
“Holy Sect members are mostly extremely evil.”
“I fear that when the time comes, they might cause great chaos among the common people.”
“Hence, I invite you to join us.”
“Now that Black Tortoise has just died and Vermilion Bird’s identity has not been exposed, it is an excellent opportunity.”
“I hope that you can help me weaken the Holy Sect’s strength as much as possible, and try to obtain information on their specific plans and timings from the Holy Sect Leader – the body I once inhabited.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng finally understood the ins and-outs of why Li Wuji had sought him out.
He also gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation in China.
The Respected Elder, Li Wuji, and the Holy Sect.
Three forces.
If the Respected Elder and Holy Sect were to launch a joint action, Li Wuji’s forces alone would not be sufficient to cope.
What the other party wants him to do is infiltrate the Holy Sect and weaken its strength as much as possible.
“Sorry, I don’t have time.”
Chen Sheng thought for a moment and decisively refused.
After listening to the other party’s long speech.
He honestly didn’t have much to do with it.
According to his plan, all he had to do was quietly find a place to hide and cultivate.
When he became unrivaled under heaven or when the Respected Elder and Xiang Li were defeated by Li Wuji, he could simply reemerge.
Why join the Holy Sect, take risks, and possibly delay his progress to become stronger?
“Hehe.”
“Very well. ”
Hearing Chen Sheng’s response,
Li Wuji didn’t explain.
He just smiled faintly and remained silent.
The back of his wheelchair that was originally reclined straightened up slightly.
At the same time, his eyes fell on Chen Sheng.
Huh?
Chen Sheng frowned.
Seeing Li Wuji’s movements, he felt instinctively that something was wrong.
Immediately, he saw the murkiness in Li Wuji’s eyes recede in an instant.
The next second, divine light bloomed, as if a galaxy was suspended overhead.
“My apologies—”
Boom—
As Li Wuji apologized, the sound of thunder exploded beside his ears.
A high temperature rushed towards him, instantly curling his sparse hair into a ball.
A boundless wave of energy surged in all directions.
In a flash,
The intense white light arrived in an instant, completely occupying his vision.
Li Wuji’s face remained calm.
Even though Chen Sheng’s thunder-wrapped fist seemed about to smash his head, the divine light in his eyes showed no signs of dying out.
Swish!
The fist came to an abrupt halt.
Chen Sheng’s eyes showed a momentary daze.
“What have you done?”
He looked at Li Wuji, frowning deeply.
“Young friend, this is my gift to you.”
Li Wuji replied.
Chen Sheng became even more puzzled.
Just a moment ago, it seemed like there was something enveloping him.
Giving him a warm feeling all over his body, it felt very comfortable.
Most importantly,
Chen Sheng didn’t reject this feeling.
He even felt somewhat at ease with it.
This was also why he stopped his fist.
Chen Sheng called up his panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Power: 951]
[Agility: 963]
[Constitution: 968]
[Skills: Thunder Breath LVI: 43/1000, Mind Mark]
[Skill Points: 751] Mind Mark?
What was that?
Chen Sheng was certain that he did not originally have this skill.
“You just—”
He looked up at Li Wuji.
The latter’s eyes had already become murky again.
His face was also pale, and his body seemed much thinner in an instant.
The dying looking man now seemed at any moment capable of taking his last breath.
Just as Chen Sheng opened his mouth to ask Li Wuji what he had done,
“How dare you—”
From outside the courtyard,
Li Sheng’s furious voice suddenly erupted.
The a sharp breaking-air sound filled the sky, as if someone was rapidly approaching the courtyard..
