The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 986 - 460: The Team of the Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled (Part 3)
Huai Yin scratched his head and laughed, "Looks like you have a plan."
"Of course."
Jiang Ze nodded calmly and said, "First, you must hand over the Heavenly Person Seed; this is a necessary prerequisite. Only by obtaining the Heavenly Person Seed can our research be most efficient. Time is precious and this is our urgent need. Secondly, the Peak City Meeting will serve as our base camp, and the research will be conducted at Black Cloud City."
"To show our sincerity, we will share research results at any time."
He emphasized, "If you’re worried, you can also keep watching us."
Huai Yin hummed in response, "Sounds good."
"Most importantly, we need to protect Qilin."
Jiang Ze glanced at the young man in the wheelchair and said calmly, "Indeed, Qilin has great potential, but he needs time to grow. Moreover, the power he possesses is too forbidden; once discovered by the Order World, it will be catastrophic. Starting today, Qilin should not engage in external battles; let Dusk protect him."
Upon hearing this, Huai Yin showed an expression of interest.
Gu Jianlin’s fingers on the wheelchair armrest twitched as if shocked.
"Of course, Qilin can also provide us with a lot of research value."
Jiang Ze raised a finger, "This is our trump card, and certainly the more experimental samples the better. If possible, we also need Thunder’s experimental data; it would be best to experiment on her personally."
Upon these words, Chen Bojun suddenly stood up, his eyes sharp.
Lu Zijin had already raised her right hand, preemptively forming a seal.
Xing Yun and Ghost Eye sensed something was amiss, their first reaction was to retreat, ready to flee at any moment.
Gu Jianlin looked up, expressionless, and asked, "What did you say?"
Jiang Ze said coldly, "Thunder is something created by the Bai Ze Clan. No one knows what the supposed perfect Spirit Coffin really is, what if she gets controlled? To collaborate, we must first eliminate unstable factors. People of the Order World are not trustworthy; if they want to work with us, they must show sincerity."
Strange silence.
There was a crack.
The bottle on the bar suddenly shattered, splattering crimson liquid everywhere.
The exploding glass shards reflected a fleeting glimmer, the roses in the flowerbed withered and shattered, the parasol was cut to pieces, and the fierce cracks pierced the Void, exposing the original darkness of the Universe’s Deep Space.
A shocking bloodstain appeared on Jiang Ze’s neck, blood gushed out.
Jiang Yanli kicked the table leg to slide back with the recoil, avoiding the splattering blood.
Huai Yin waved her hand, and the splattering blood was annihilated by invisible dark energy.
There was a thud.
Jiang Ze knelt on the ground, clutching his throat, making difficult wheezing sounds like a broken bellows.
His wound quietly healed, but cold sweat poured out like a sluice gate, soaking him.
A giant panic surged in his eyes; he didn’t even know what had just happened.
If he didn’t have Feather Transformation ability, he might have been killed.
He wasn’t without fighting ability but was deeply terrified by that unfathomable Divine Speed.
"If I were at the Seventh Rank, I’d have only a thirty percent chance to dodge that slash."
Jing Ci finally spoke, still in an unhurried tone, "Terrifying."
Netherworld swirled his wine glass gently, saying indifferently, "If I were at the Seventh Rank, I wouldn’t say such things."
Throughout, Gu Jianlin seemed to remain motionless on the wheelchair, not even seeing him draw the sword.
In fact, the spacetime just now was frozen by him, he slashed out a cold arc with ghostly Divine Speed, then sheathed the sword without a glance, seemingly as if nothing happened.
A Holy Land Level Heavenly Master was nearly killed in an instant.
Of course, this was because he got too close.
If it was on the front battlefield, a Heavenly Master would never allow Ghost Slayer such proximity.
"This is a lesson; theoretically, you’re not wrong, but I refuse."
Gu Jianlin withdrew his gaze, turned the wheelchair to the end of the long table, his lifted eyes filled with faint mist, and dark, eerie talismans flared up like flames, ominous and severe.
The raging aura was deep as the sea, a sudden wind blew, tossing the ceramic plates and wine glasses on the table.
Knives and forks shivered, chopsticks rolled down.
Huai Yin’s graying hair was disheveled by the wind, even dust blurred her eyes.
Jiang Yanli also raised a hand to block her face, yet sneaked a peek through the gap.
"The Third Law."
Jing Ci whispered.
Netherworld sat up straight; this was the first time in his life he had the privilege of facing the true Third Law. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Gu Jianlin’s eyes boiled with mist, his visage wavering, monster and human appearances vying to appear, echoing with wrathful roars and the strict chanting of divine law.
"This is the power of the Third Law, the thing you desire."
He said expressionlessly, "I think you all made a mistake; the lead in this negotiation isn’t with the teacher or the Shishu, but with me. Now, does anyone have objections?"
Utter silence.
Gu Jianlin played his trump card.
Indeed, in this negotiation, Qing and Chi both had chips.
But after Gu Jianlin displayed the Third Law, their chips seemed insignificant.
Because right now, there was someone who truly mastered the Third Law.
Far beyond those crude and shoddy counterfeits.
This was the real deal.
The genuine item that the Ancient Supreme pursued for endless ages.
If Gu Jianlin threw in the towel, no one would fare well.
Much later.
Huai Yin picked up chopsticks, expressionlessly said, "Let’s eat."
Jiang Yanli showed an awkward yet polite smile, picked up knives and forks, "Senior brother is right, let’s eat."
Commander Lu silently gazed at the young man opposite, suddenly understanding the President’s intent in leaving this young man.
If even Qing and Chi, the centennial mortal foes, can sit down for a meal and discuss cooperation, what else is impossible?
Truly amazing.
