Subsequently, a shadow leapt, and the whole person dived into the Dark Flame beside him.
Supported by several bookshelves, the room looked like an ordinary study, with two people sitting inside, separately.
One of them was a somewhat hunched and frail old man wearing a white nightgown, his face covered with wrinkles.
The other was a man wearing an all-encompassing black overcoat, extremely tall.
It was Xue Jing's first time seeing someone with a physique even more robust than that of his eldest martial brother, resembling an adult brown bear standing on two legs.
The man's head was completely bald, embedded with six button-like objects, and his face was partially covered with a black mask that wrapped around most of his face, stitched onto the skin with fine stitches, not just worn.
The two people in the study did not notice that an inconspicuous corner nearby had silently gained an additional cluster of shadows.
They continued their discussion.
“The problem now is that there's hardly enough time left.”
“The 'grand council' is in eight days. If we delay another two days, even if the operation succeeds, by the time the news reaches there, the council would almost be over.”
The old man's voice sounded raspy and aged.
“Can't we just force him a little?”
“I'm getting a bit fed up too, having stayed in this skin for almost half a year, if I stay any longer, the stench of old man will begin to marinate me…”
The bear-like man's voice carried a mechanical steadiness, as he spoke:
“A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water, it's useless, Jiao Hongyuan is already down to his last pathetic life, there's nowhere to apply pressure.”
The old man pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and said,
“Then why don't you just directly snatch the 'Green Cube' and liberate it in the city center?”
The man glanced at him, his gaze dull, “If I make the move, that would basically confirm it… Moreover, previously, to ensure no ties, the password for the Green Cube was reset by Jiao Hongyuan himself. Currently, only he knows the password, I cannot use it even if I snatch it.”
“That thing triggers 'Transfer Nature' upon a single incorrect attempt, it's utterly uncrackable…”
The old man languidly sprawled in the chair, “Damn it, otherwise just let me slip into Jiao Hongyuan's body…”
The man said, “Then you would be surely doomed… Your death wouldn't matter much, but there is a formidable doctor in the Inner Ring, if she conducts the autopsy, she might find your 'core' in the body, and then…”
The old man said, “Isn't necessarily that doctor who would perform the autopsy, right? Let's take a bet, it's better than just waiting like this.”
The man squeezed his palm, “It might have been possible a few days ago, but now Jiao Hongyuan has undergone the Breakthrough surgery, his combat abilities can almost match with this body of mine, you probably can't slip in…”
“Oh? Isn't that quite a chance then? This body of yours is for reconnaissance, right, not fitted with many strong Alien Implants, let's not delay, I'll head to the basement now…” The old man got up from his chair, heading towards the door decisively.
But he was immediately blocked by the man's bear-paw-like hand, “Listen till the end, you have no chance. Those who practice the Old Martial Arts have extremely sharp instincts, especially a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster… Even a defective like Jiao Hongyuan is nearly impossible to ambush.”
“As soon as you approach him and harbor the slightest hostility, you'll be detected immediately.”
The old man grumbled, “Damn! So the current situation is unsolvable?”
“Just about… It doesn't matter, Qingcheng's scheme is just one step in the game, even if it fails, it won't affect the overall situation.”
“Alright, I'm about to leave; I've watched over Qingcheng's matters up to this point. I just came today to remind you not to do anything foolish… ”
In the corner, Xue Jing, lurking within the shadows, upon hearing this, immediately slipped silently into the Dark Flame and emerged on the street's utility pole outside.
Under the helmet covered by Entwined Armor, his face color shifted constantly as he digested the explosive information he had just overheard.
He immediately took out his phone, opened the chat application, and rapidly typed everything he had heard, relying on his memory, and sent it to Pei Xiao'en.
“I didn't expect it to be Chief Councillor Chi Liangyun who was involved… although it seems it wasn't his own will, but something that 'Soul Snatched' him.”
“Listening to those two men, the man seemed to have just come at this time to remind 'Chi Liangyun'…”
“That means, if I hadn't listed Chi Liangyun as the last person to investigate, coming here just in time, I wouldn't have heard their conversation, what a coincidence, I'm really lucky.”
“So, this is what the Starquake Hexagram predicted as 'great fortune at hand'? The relics passed down from my ancestors are indeed useful!”
Xue Jing thought to himself.
After passing all the messages to Pei Xiao'en, he stepped onto a utility pole and leaped into the air, about to leave this place of trouble.
But at that moment,
A robust figure suddenly appeared above him, reaching out to press down on his neck.
Xue Jing's mind screamed alarms, and without any hesitation, he spun in mid-air, activating simultaneously the Power of Twins and Twin Speed, his Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Blood all channelling energy and focusing into his right arm, turning into a terrifying power as if it could pierce through heaven and earth.
“Roar—-!!”
Amid the Dragon's Chant, the Hidden Dragon School's unmatched Mystic Art*Vital Point shot forth.
“Ssst—-”
With no obstruction, the Eye-Dotting directly penetrated the assailant's palm, piercing through with a series of sounds of breaking flesh, bones, and tendons, and ended up boring straight through the entire palm from the shoulder, creating a spiraling large hole from the back side.
The pale golden power continued unrelentingly towards the sky until it gradually dissipated a hundred meters away.
“Hm?”
The assailant, quite surprised, suddenly halted and floated mid-air.
Xue Jing landed on the ground, performed a backward somersault to a distance of several meters off the ground, and stood on a utility pole, his silver-white eyes staring at the figure lingering in mid-air.
It was the strong man resembling a brown bear that was in the room earlier.
“Good martial arts, you channel energy quite harmoniously, are you a practitioner of the Old Martial Arts?”
The man spoke, his voice flat and unfluctuating, as though emanated by an AI with a realistic voice from a robot.
“…” Xue Jing did not reply.
The man, observing him clad in Dark Enchained Armor, said, “Also a Blessed One… Divine Martial Dual Cultivation, interesting.”
Meanwhile, the hand that Xue Jing had pierced started to convulse and within moments, it began to rapidly heal.
Xue Jing stared at him, puzzled within.
How had he been discovered?
That shouldn't be right, even if he was discovered, he should have been grabbed right on the spot, why was it that he had already left the building before the other party chased him down?
Seeming to notice Xue Jing's confusion, the man spoke in an unfluctuating tone:
“Your 'God-Given Secret Art' is formidable, almost flawlessly concealing your presence.”
“Had it not been for my precautionary scan of the surroundings using 'Four-Dimensional Senses' before departure, I truly wouldn't have found you.”
“Don't worry, it was not your fault, I simply followed the 'Tracks of Time' in the Four-Dimensional Space to find you.”
Xue Jing: “…”
Four-Dimensional Senses? What the devil is that, it sounds incredible.
“So now, you've found me, what do you want to do?”
Xue Jing asked.
At the sound of Xue Jing's voice, the man seemed surprised.
“A young man, around seventeen years old? To possess such a level of strength at this age, it's a pity.”
Xue Jing cocked his head: “Oh? What's there to pity?”
At his spine, a black crystal began to spread, proliferating and wriggling rapidly, soon enveloping him completely, transforming into a suit of Black Crystal battle armor.
“It's a pity, you have to die here.”
He said softly, his voice slightly distorted coming from behind the armor.
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes: “I see…”
