Chapter 895: Chapter 899: Switching Fake for Real Chapter 895: Chapter 899: Switching Fake for Real “Alright, without and Linghu Ling covering for you in Dragon Gate, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to co to this eting,” Zhu Minglang said.
“You think I wanted to co!” Wu Xiao said.
“Have you beco a True God?” Zhu Minglang asked.
The heights that Wu Xiao had once climbed, along with the Spirit Root he had acquired, should also position him quite high.
“I have beco one…”
“Then there it is, don’t be too greedy,” Zhu Minglang said.
Wu Xiao’s face was filled with bitterness.
He couldn’t beat Zhu Minglang in a fight, and it seed he couldn’t out-talk him either.
He had to admit defeat.
Wu Xiao was like a young noble just entering private school, encountering the old school tyrant in class, and ultimately still couldn’t avoid being bullied.
“What kind of god are you? The Erald God?” Zhu Minglang continued asking.
“The God of Serenity.”
“What do you do?”
“I oversee all the mystical and mortal matters of Daoist cultivation in North Dipper Divine Land,” Wu Xiao said with a hint of pride on his face.
“The leader of Daoist cultivation?” Zhu Minglang said.
“Pretty much,” Wu Xiao said, a smile appearing on his face.
“Impressive!” Zhu Minglang gave a thumbs up.
“What about you? You’ve climbed even higher, your status must be extraordinary, right?” Wu Xiao asked.
“The workings of heaven must not be revealed,” Zhu Minglang said.
“…” Wu Xiao smacked his lips, still unable to figure out exactly what kind of god Zhu Minglang was.
Linghu Ling also seed to be unaware of what kind of god Zhu Minglang was.
He was likely one of the highest-ranking mbers within Dragon Gate.
The arrangents for his divine status made by the Old Heavenly Father couldn’t be low.
…
Wu Xiao still couldn’t get Zhu Minglang to reveal his godly title.
Zhu Minglang found the man sowhat annoying. Thus, he got up and walked toward a woman wearing a Purple Yulan Robe with a veil covering her face.
Wu Xiao was puzzled, but then he saw Zhu Minglang handing over his precious Kaiyang Heart thod to the veiled beauty, almost causing Wu Xiao to point at Zhu Minglang and burst into curses!
He was actually using their rare treasure from Kaiyang to flirt!
That was too much!!
…
“What is this?” Nan Lingsha asked softly, a trace of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
“The Kaiyang Heart thod, it can eradicate Heart Demons. I’ve noticed there have always been so stray thoughts in your state of mind recently. This Kaiyang Heart thod can erase Heart Demons and also help discard stray thoughts, allowing you to elevate your Realm further,” Zhu Minglang told Nan Lingsha.
Nan Lingsha didn’t make a fuss and accepted the Kaiyang Heart thod.
Although one of her stray thoughts included the very man standing before her.
Having received the desired heart thod, Nan Lingsha’s mood also seed much improved. Seeing Zhu Minglang sitting beside her, she asked, “Where have you been these past days?”
“The White Marsh Realm. I stayed there for a while. Oh, I discovered a patch of seven-colored divine soil. It’s a very special place, a sanctuary for quiet cultivation. Later, I will take you there, and we can cultivate together… nourish our hearts and practice individually,” Zhu Minglang spoke frankly but quickly corrected himself.
After teasing Nan Lingsha, Zhu Minglang hastily ran off.
The gaze of the painter’s sister-in-law, as beautiful as it was, indeed had the power to kill.
…
Zhu Minglang had absolutely no interest in the future plans for Divine Land, and he waited blandly for the eting to end.
Stepping out of the Divine Temple, a plainly dressed person approached Zhu Minglang. Zhu Minglang was wondering which person from Dragon Gate had borne a grudge, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the thief Ling Song!
Ling Song greeted him with a respectful smile, deliberately taking Zhu Minglang to a sparsely populated corner and said with a sly tone, “The item you asked to steal, I’ve gotten it!”
“So quickly?” Zhu Minglang was quite surprised.
“The divine assembly seems heavily guarded, but it’s actually when the divines are most likely to let their guard down. This is the Flaunting God’s protective divine symbol.” Ling Song handed it to Zhu Minglang to see.
It was a divine symbol leaf, thin enough to be used as a decoration on clothes or casually tucked into a garnt.
“Not bad!” Zhu Minglang was quite pleased.
“Superior Immortal, keep this true protective divine symbol. In a while, I’ll return the fake one I just made,” Ling Song said, then took out another divine symbol leaf, which looked exactly like the one he had just given to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang was stunned for a mont.
“Since you’ve stolen it, why make a fake?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Superior Immortal, you might not know. The highest realm of theft is not simply taking an item, but replacing the real with the fake. If the item goes missing, the owner quickly realizes this and will take asures to compensate. But if the owner is unaware of the loss and continues to believe the item is still there, it’s a different situation… For example, this protective divine symbol leaf of Flaunting God, although valuable, if Flaunting God realizes it’s gone, he would be vigilant and find another protective magic artifact to replace it, thus the effectiveness of making Flaunting God lose his protective magic artifact would be lost. I stole this item, then replaced it with a fake, so he will always believe he still has a protective artifact. When you, Superior Immortal, finally move against him and his life hangs by a thread, he will realize too late what has happened,” explained thief Ling Song.
Hearing this from thief Ling Song, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but genuinely admire him.
To play the art of thievery to such a divine level was indeed worthy of the title, God of Thieves!
Indeed, what Ling Song said made a lot of sense.
By stealing Flaunting God’s protective magic artifact, it was only causing him to lose a treasure, not achieving the effect of him losing the protective symbol.
With Flaunting God’s strength, how could he possibly not find a replacent artifact.
“You can even make imitations that look no different from the real ones? Then, do I have reason to suspect that you have stolen from others for fun, and what you’ve returned to them is…” Zhu Minglang spoke and suddenly realized sothing mid-sentence.
He stopped speaking and hurriedly searched through his own cosmic bag for those three keys!
The Key of the Golden Wall, the Silver Dawn Key, the Bronze Key…
Zhu Minglang imdiately used his divine sense to scrutinize these three keys, especially the Bronze Key which he had painstakingly collected. He indeed discovered sothing amiss!
This Bronze Key, while visually identical to what he initially possessed, revealed on closer inspection irregularities in the bonding and cracks!
The Bronze Key was originally assembled from piece by piece of brilliant green bronze, which he could roughly recall the shape and size of.
Clearly, after dismantling the Bronze Key, it didn’t match the ones he had gathered before, and the potent force inside that could empower so cadaverous beings was also absent!
It’s a fake!!
This Bronze Key is a fake!!
Zhu Minglang’s eyes turned cold as he stared at the God of Thieves, Ling Song.
Ling Song instantly broke into a profuse sweat, his legs trembling.
“I was wrong, Superior Immortal, I was wrong. It was not my intention to deceive; it’s just that the keys were ancestral possessions of mine. In my life, I have failed my own relatives, focusing solely on frolicking among mortals without caring for them properly. Their only wish was for to retrieve these three keys of the Ancient Gate…” Ling Song quickly kowtowed, never having expected his clever trick to be seen through by Zhu Minglang.
“Alright, considering the thod you used against Flaunting God was quite clever, I’ll let it pass. But if you deceive again, I won’t be so forgiving!” Zhu Minglang said.
