Chapter 879: Chapter 667: A Difficult Night
Zong Ge’s current problem is not just the hidden danger he’s carrying.
Zi Di is worried. She notices that the effect of the Deception and Disguise Skill on Zong Ge is also being accelerated by the effects of the Beautiful Future potion.
“Pearl Bubble is a Divine Level material. So-called Divine Level materials are those with incomplete divinity power. That’s why the Deception and Disguise Skill is so powerful.”
“This power cos from the supremacy of laws and concepts.”
“But the effects of the Beautiful Future potion are similarly an incomplete divinity of ti.”
“The two can affect each other.”
All along, survivors have used the Deception and Disguise Skill to deceive others and disguise themselves, with great success.
Now, under Zi Di’s witness, the Deception and Disguise Skill faces a severe challenge.
“Fortunately, Zong Ge managed to disguise well before all of this. He didn’t collapse before he could return ho.”
Thinking of this, Zi Di couldn’t help but feel admiration for this tough guy in front of her.
Before he ca back, Zong Ge’s body had already started to erupt, but he managed to endure it.
This kind of endurance is extraordinary.
One must know, he’s risking his life. Only by lying on the bed and fully focusing on manipulating his body and fighting energy for defense can he reduce the risk to life.
While feeling thankful and admiring, Zi Di was also very angry.
She was angry at herself.
Why didn’t she do her utmost to help Zong Ge solve the hidden danger earlier? Leading to the current concerning situation!
In the past, Zi Di was overly harsh on herself.
Before this, she and Zong Ge and others did not lack effort.
Just that Blood Vengeance was really difficult to solve.
Zong Ge kept his eyes closed, unable to speak. He must concentrate all his spirit, mont by mont, continuously monitoring his body.
The eruption of Blood Vengeance can happen at any mont on any part of his body. On the way back from the dueling field, it erupted, but luckily, it didn’t affect vital parts like the heart.
Floral Willow Combat Skill was still demanding Zong Ge’s fighting energy, causing him to increase the Combat Skill’s lock on his life force. And maintaining fighting energy itself beca extrely challenging due to the residual influence of ti divinity.
Moreover, the Strange Poison laid by Mifang is now acting up, with the toxin starting to spread anew in Zong Ge’s body.
Although Zong Ge won quickly and decisively, he has already collapsed.
Now, everything depends on Zi Di alone.
“Calm down.”
“It’s not yet the worst-case scenario.”
“There’s still hope!”
“Theoretically speaking, Zong Ge can overco this crisis by himself.”
The remaining power of ti divinity constantly affects Blood Vengeance, Floral Willow, Strange Poison, Combat Skill, physical body, and Deception and Disguise Skill.
Since effects are occurring, it naturally ans this power of ti is constantly depleting.
If Zong Ge persists, there will be a day when this residual power of ti divinity dwindles to zero.
“However, how long will it take for the residual power of ti divinity to wear off?”
“Yet right now, Zong Ge needs to appear publicly.”
Zi Di stared at the wall, her gaze seeming to penetrate outside, seeing the deep night sky.
“During the battle, Zong Ge withstood the Ice Frost aura. Since the enemies chose Ice Calamity, they must have been eyeing the aura’s Beautiful Future potion effect.”
“They will certainly try to confirm Zong Ge’s real state as soon as possible.”
“During the duel, Ice Calamity shouted loudly and unveiled the secret of the Ice Frost aura. Therefore, this news will spread widely by tomorrow.”
“As ti goes by, outside interest in Zong Ge’s real state will gradually increase.”
Zi Di felt heavy-hearted.
She decided, aside from waiting for Zong Ge to handle this challenge himself, she must exert effort to help Zong Ge!
Zong Ge must recover quickly.
His collapse is extrely unfavorable to their situation. Not to ntion other people, if Hua Tang attacks again, both Zi Di and Zong Ge would have no power to resist!
“Fortunately, not too long ago, I successfully purchased alchemical technology for ti and red wine from Ban Tu.”
“Ti Ice and Beautiful Future are both utilizing power from the projection of ti divinity.”
“In fact, one of the main ingredients of the Beautiful Future potion is Ti Ice.”
Since Worry Relief Red Wine can perfectly utilize Ti Ice, it can naturally help Zong Ge resolve the potion effects on his body.
“I bought this alchemical technology for the squad leader. I didn’t expect it to be used on Zong Ge first.”
Now, the only problem in front of Zi Di is one.
How can she get Worry Relief Red Wine?
“Elder Jiu Jin? Alchemy Guild?” Zi Di shook her head slightly.
She learned about Worry Relief Red Wine and Ti Ice from Elder Jiu Jin. She also learned about the rarity of Worry Relief Red Wine.
“Drunken Sect? They are the producers of Worry Relief Red Wine.”
“Not very promising, their fleet was robbed by Feng Lian. The entire sect is currently frantically recruiting, raising bounty, attempting to recover Worry Relief Red Wine.”
“Wait, maybe the Lijian family can?” Zi Di’s mind flashed with inspiration.
She learned from the collected information: The Kingdom Navy’s Second Fleet was the first to co to the battlefield responding to the call for help. They also confird the fall of the Drunken Sect’s fleet.
“They were the first to arrive, so it’s very likely they’ve salvaged so of the Worry Relief Red Wine, right?”
“The Second Fleet is practically the private army of the Lijian family.”
“So, it seems highly possible that the Lijian family has so Worry Relief Red Wine in their possession?”
Zi Di’s guess was correct, and it matched the facts.
However, she still couldn’t be absolutely sure.
“We need to contact soone from the Lijian family as soon as possible.”
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a report that the Lijian family’s housekeeper was visiting.
Zi Di glanced at Zong Ge, then checked the room’s defense asures once more, and after confirming everything was in order, she gritted her teeth and left.
In a small hall, she t the Lijian family’s housekeeper.
The housekeeper smiled, “I wonder if Mage Yao Ma has considered our previous cooperation proposal?”
Zi Di remained expressionless, “I have reported it, and regarding this matter, all we can do is wait for notification.”
The housekeeper nodded and ntioned Zong Ge, expressing concern on behalf of the Lijian family, “Ice Calamity’s Frost Aura actually carried the effects of the Magic Potion ‘Beautiful Future.’ That’s terribly sinister!”
“We saw Lord Long Fu during the duel, covered entirely by the Frost Aura. Is he alright?”
“The Power of Ti is not a small issue.”
Zi Di smiled, “He’s fine. So far, we haven’t discovered any problems. I think it’s a lie Ice Calamity told in a mont of panic. Even if it’s true, it’s a bit exaggerated.”
The housekeeper sincerely said, “If Lord Long Fu feels uneasy, please make sure to let us know.”
“Our family can think of a solution.”
“Our interests are aligned. In this grand duel, your squad leader is a benchmark. If he falls, the sales of our two new drugs, which just hit the market, will certainly suffer a heavy blow.”
Zi Di nodded, “I’m certainly aware of that. But how will you solve it?”
The housekeeper laughed, “To be honest, our family has a batch of Worry Relief Red Wine.”
“And Mage Yao Ma, didn’t you recently succeed in making a deal with Ban Tu and obtained this alchemy technique?”
It was like a pillow sent to one falling asleep; Zi Di wanted to acquire Worry Relief Red Wine, but unexpectedly, the Lijian family offered it willingly.
For a mont, Zi Di nearly agreed.
But in the next instant, Zi Di shook her head and said, “I don’t need Worry Relief Red Wine at all at the mont; the squad leader is in great condition.”
“Do you wish to collaborate with us on this aspect?”
“Now that you have Worry Relief Red Wine, do you also want this alchemy technique?”
Zi Di suppressed her inner anxiety.
Her negotiation skills were very strong, and she clearly understood that she must not rush at this mont.
If she showed her true emotions, the Lijian family would inevitably open their greedy mouths wide, devouring the survivors’ interests.
Both sides attempted to negotiate on this topic.
Until the Lijian family’s housekeeper took his leave, no results were determined.
After seeing off the housekeeper, Zi Di let out a sigh of relief.
“Temporarily held them at bay.”
“However, this situation will worsen as ti goes on.”
“Zong Ge’s condition will eventually be impossible to conceal.”
The dire situation left Zi Di unable to sleep.
She stayed up all night assisting Zong Ge with treatnt, observing his condition.
A few hours later, at dawn.
Zong Ge’s eyes remained closed, and his physical condition was far from optimistic.
Zi Di frowned deeply, looking haggard. She found Zong Ge’s situation even more deteriorated. He was suffering more injuries, despite Zi Di’s external assistance.
That night, Zi Di didn’t sleep, and the City Lord of Snowbird Port only had a brief nap but didn’t sleep well.
Tan Mo brought him imnse pressure, especially after he learned that Hun Tong had been killed by a pirate.
“What is the true cause of Hun Tong’s death? Was it really a pirate attack, and Tan Mo fought hard but lost?” The City Lord of Snowbird Port slled a strong scent of conspiracy in all of this.
“Today will be a day of investigation; hopefully, everything goes smoothly.”
After hurriedly washing, the City Lord of Snowbird Port began having breakfast.
During breakfast, he received good news.
“Oh? The one with the nickna ‘Sleepyhead,’ that Big Fool, his Bloodline Grade is at least Holy Domain Level?”
“Yes,” a subordinate confird.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port held a cup of milk in one hand and fell into deep thought with the other.
“Was the Holy Domain Level seed planted in the rcenary group by design or by coincidence?”
“Hehe, how could it be by coincidence?”
The City Lord of Snowbird Port’s eyes glead with a sharp light, quietly lanting, “Impressive, the arms dealer behind the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps has an astonishing reach. He actually aspires to beco the fourth force in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom!”
The Ice Sculpture Kingdom has three Holy Domain Level individuals; if Big Fool later ascends to Holy Domain Level, wouldn’t he beco part of the upper echelon of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom?
At that ti, the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps would also beco an important force within the kingdom.
By then, no matter how vast the arms business is, it will have the protection of Holy Domain Level power.
