How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 224: The Reunion of Two Great Rivals after Three Years
Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Reunion of Two Great Rivals after Three Years
"Yes!" the beauty replied, "I’ll arrange it immediately!"
She left the lap of the man in the white robe, walked a few steps, and then suddenly stopped, slowly turning her head back, "Wuxiang Temple... what role does it play in your chessboard?"
"Its initial role position is a meat grinder, or a misleading obstacle that draws people into the quagmire."
Meat grinder!
Misleading obstacle drawing people into the quagmire!
The beauty understood.
The man in front of her, with just one phone call, clearly indicated that the Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple and Wuxiang Temple were adversaries.
Qianlong was worried about not having a way to infiltrate Kun Cang.
Knowing that a power like Wuxiang Temple is an enemy to their enemies, then, based on the basic principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it was possible to connect with Wuxiang Temple.
As long as there is a connection, then Wuxiang Temple becomes Qianlong’s meat grinder, or at the very least, it can mislead Qianlong.
This is a game of strategy!
This is wisdom!
However...
"Given the current situation, your opponent is not simple. Could he see through your clever trick? If that happens, wouldn’t it backfire? Couldn’t Wuxiang Temple be exposed to their sight because of you?"
"Hehe..." The man in the white robe smiled, "You’ve become quite the Da Xia insider. Have you ever heard of ’open conspiracy’?"
"Open conspiracy? Knowing it’s a ploy, but having to go along with it?"
"Exactly!" The man in the white robe said, "Wuxiang Temple is just such a force. You see it as an ally, it can swallow you whole without leaving a trace. You see it as an enemy, it would make you even more exhausted. From a strategy perspective, I hope my opponent falls for my trick and jumps headfirst into this bottomless quagmire, but from a personal expectation, I hope he sees through my clever trick, regards Wuxiang Temple as an ally of Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple, and targets or even eradicates it."
Also on this night, Lin Xiaosu and Blood Trace landed at Oman Airport.
Coming out of the airport, they casually hailed a taxi to go to Manlins University.
Blood Trace planned the route.
This route was captured by Dragon Eye at the point.
Such things happen countless times every day.
Even if the taxi driver himself were part of the Nine Headed Snake, he could not possibly suspect any motive from these two people taking his cab to a university.
If Lin Xiaosu were just an ordinary detective, sitting in the car, speeding along the highway, he would clearly find nothing.
But unfortunately, he has Time Retrospection.
All he needed was a precise moment, a geographical intersection, and he could lock onto the car.
This was a speeding G-Class.
The taxi followed the speeding G-Class through several side roads, and Lin Xiaosu precisely located an estate.
However, he could not share his excitement with Blood Trace at this moment.
The two of them checked into a hotel in Oman City.
The next day, Lin Xiaosu went out for a while, returning at sunset.
When he opened the hotel room door, his excitement and joy were evident on his face...
Blood Trace’s heart raced...
When Lin Xiaosu went out to look for clues, it was also a torment for Blood Trace, who paced back and forth in the hotel.
In this situation, searching for information about a vehicle that had been on the road required involving the police system of Greece. He had a contact within this system. If he were working alone, activating this contact would be essential.
But at Lin Xiaosu’s reminder, he halted this approach.
Because it could be a trap set by the White clothed King to "clean up internal contacts."
If the contact were activated, they might fall into the enemy’s surveillance.
It was too difficult to plant a few contacts in a foreign country.
Losing one would be a significant loss.
Let alone an entire network?
Now it was up to Lin Xiaosu to see if he could find out about the car without activating the contact.
Honestly, as the Qianlong King, he saw no way it was possible.
But why did he look so pleased?
"Got something?" Blood Trace asked.
Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Good news and bad news, which one first?"
"I..." Blood Trace suppressed the urge to curse, "Good news first!"
"Found him!"
Blood Trace’s heart skipped a beat, "What’s the bad news?"
"The bad news is, Qianlong has to spend money. 2.5 million may be nothing to a big company, but for the tight-fisted Qianlong, it might be a bit painful."
Blood Trace laughed, "You... I really don’t know what to say to you! Let me put it this way, if we could package and sell their king to you for 10 million each, we would all vote for it even if the budget is tight!"
"Got it! 10 million!"
"Get lost... at a time like this, still thinking about money!" Blood Trace said, "Other people earn money to get married. When you look for a wife, people basically cling to you. What do you need money for? Quickly say where he is before I expose you."
Lin Xiaosu began to speak...
Blood Trace’s eyes lit up...
His heart surged like the waters of the Yangtze River in May.
The person he had been desperately seeking.
The one who left a scar of shame on his forehead as a King.
The one who caused such significant damage to Daxia Country.
Finally, he was no longer a vague figure in white among the misty mountains.
Instead, he was a clear coordinate in the vast sea of people...
Lu Xiushu!
English name Xiu Ke.
He studied under Qiu Sang of Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple and was the fifth disciple of Qiu Sang.
He was currently one of the five disciples who held successful careers overseas.
His success in business had nothing to do with cultivation, but rather his business empire.
He engaged in international trade, and his dealings with Daxia Country were completely normal.
Many companies that worked with him had the impression that he was a Xia Descendant and had deep feelings for Daxia Country...
If the five overseas disciples of Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple were ranked, his likelihood of being the White clothed King would probably be the lowest.
But indeed, it was him!
"He... has residences in four countries! Have you pinpointed where he is at the moment?" Blood Trace asked.
Lin Xiaosu gently raised his hand and pointed across a small river.
There stood an ancient estate.
A hundred years ago, it was the ancestral land of the Criss family, and it still is today. The Criss family is a prestigious family in its country, and they have a descendant named Isa Criss.
This woman is Lu Xiushu’s lover in this country.
The night deepened!
Lu Xiushu still stood on the second-floor terrace.
He seemed to have a particular fondness for this terrace.
Every night, he would be here.
People like him, cultivators in such situations, loved control.
Being on this terrace was a part of his control.
From here, he could observe the surroundings, gaze across the river at the city on the other side.
The traffic on the streets, the flow of people, the city’s movements, were all under his control.
Of course, the estate itself was more under his control.
Over thirty servants, all were his people.
And absolutely trustworthy!
Why? Because the untrustworthy and suspicious ones were dealt with without hesitation using a single leaf—all the suspects were gone, so the remaining ones had to be absolutely reliable, didn’t they?
In this estate, he was the king.
Everyone, including the titular owner of the estate, Isa Criss of the Criss family, was just his mistress, ready to pick up or discard at will. This was the notion of freedom and detachment he brought from Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple or was inherently within.
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs; Isa’s footsteps.
Her high heels supported her stunning figure, producing a rhythmic pattern.
Yes, Isa appeared.
She had already handled the matters Lu Xiushu had assigned to her.
Tonight was a time for enjoyment.
She had to admit that a cultivator like Lu Xiushu could give women an ultimate ecstasy. She loved this experience, which was the key reason she was willing to be his lover...
Just as Isa reached the top step...
Suddenly, a hand appeared out of thin air...
Isa’s eyes widened abruptly, and she slowly fell limp...
The tray in her hand seemed about to crash onto the floor, shattering into pieces.
However, the tray landed lightly on someone’s toes, dissipating all its force as if held by invisible hands, gently placed on the floor.
Lu Xiushu turned back abruptly, his hair flowing with an unusual rhythm in the night breeze...
He stared at the person appearing at the staircase, his face filled with disbelief...
A tall figure.
Flowing long hair.
A blood-red scar on the forehead.
"White clothed King, we finally meet!" Blood Trace said seven words, his voice seemingly traversing the long road of time.
Lu Xiushu closed his eyes slightly and then slowly opened them, "Revealing your hand directly?"
"Since I’ve found you, revealing or not revealing the hand doesn’t matter! Anyway, it’s going to be a fight to the death," Blood Trace said.
"Coming all the way just for a fight to the death! Blood Trace King is indeed bold." Lu Xiushu smiled faintly, "Have you forgotten how you got that scar on your forehead?"
"In these three years, I haven’t forgotten for a single moment!" Blood Trace said, "But after tonight, I will forget."
"Indeed, after tonight, when you’re gone, you’ll forget everything..."
Before he finished speaking, the teacup in his hand shattered into pieces!
In the next instant, the fragments shot toward Blood Trace with a speed faster than a bullet!
This shot was like a shotgun blast, covering all of Blood Trace’s space!
This was his Dakongxuan!
In terms of power alone, it was obviously not on par with Qiu Sang.
However, the breadth of the attack, covering an entire area, even Qiu Sang could not be this decisive.
The fragments flew, and Blood Trace was still there.
The fragments reached, and Blood Trace’s figure suddenly flickered...
With a light sound, the fragments passed through his figure, but it was merely an afterimage!
Boom!
The small house on the rooftop behind him was completely shredded by the shards.
Amid the flying dust, a remnant shadow leaped over ten yards, suddenly appearing to Lu Xiushu’s right, the dagger raised, cold as ice.
Lu Xiushu’s body seemed to be picked up by the wind and floated off the terrace abruptly.
With a light hiss, the chair he had been sitting on was sliced into countless pieces.
Blood Trace’s movement technique, Heavenly Shadow.
Blood Trace’s attack, Earth Splitting Blade.
One flicker could dodge any attack, one strike could split iron-clad troops. freewebnoveℓ.com
This was a level he had not reached three years ago.
Because three years ago, he had just built the Blood Tower within his body. Today, he had achieved Eight Star Breaking Sky, just a step away from Observing Heaven.
Three years of painstaking cultivation, all for today!
