Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The rain continued as the wind blew over. The drenched Yan Liqiang shivered and his brain started working again. He looked at the ssy valley and quickly ran over.
Yan Liqiang’s head was still in a ss. That scene challenged Yan Liqiang’s knowledge regarding this world. Why would Lin Qingtian turn into that? Were there really other nonhuman races in this world? Why would they turn into Lin Qingtian and beco the Grand Chancellor of the Great Han Empire? And Jade Luo Palace seed to have known that Lin Qingtian wasn’t human. What was this?
Countless questions appeared in Yan Liqiang’s heart. Yan Liqiang felt that he discovered sothing significant this ti.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang charged into the valley!
There were broken trees and rocks everywhere. The ground was covered in holes and the walls were marked with sword Qi. This entire valley seed to have been hit by a teor.
Rumble... In a rubble of rocks, the white-robed swordsman ca out. As soon as he got up, he spat a mouthful of blood and wobbled. Then he started coughing heavily...
“Senior, are you okay?!” Yan Liqiang didn’t charge up imdiately, fearing the white-robed swordsman would misunderstand.
“Who are you?” The golden mask seed extrely eerie especially when the mask turned to talk to one with that coarse voice. This natural pressure ca pressing by.
Yan Liqiang gulped so saliva and said calmly, “My na is Wang Shagen...”
“No!” The white-robed swordsman stopped Yan Liqiang and shook his head. His eyes scanned Yan Liqiang’s bow as he kept talking in a coarse voice, “You’re not Wang Shagen, you’re... Gan Province’s Yan Liqiang. I’ve seen your bow at Mount Azure Dragon next to the Heavenly Lake. You just changed your appearance but your archery prowess and bow didn’t change. There are very few cultivation thods that can change one’s appearance. To reach a level that has no flaws like yours, there would be even less. There’s only the Thousand-Face Divine Technique. This was the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch’s unique secret but he’s disappeared for a long ti, probably dead. The Thousand-Face Divine Technique hasn’t seen the light of the world for a long ti. It seems like you have received the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch’s heritage...”
Looking at that eerie golden mask, Yan Liqiang felt goosebumps on his head. He had this feeling of being naked and completely seen through. The white-robed swordsman was beyond his imagination. He didn’t expect that this guy only glanced at him once at the Heavenly Lake and completely saw through who he was. But the only thing that made Yan Liqiang feel assured was that this white-robed swordsman didn’t seem like so evil guy.
Yan Liqiang rapidly thought and just nodded, “Senior has keen eyes. I admire you. That’s right, Junior is Yan Liqiang!”
“I didn’t expect you dare to attack Lin Qingtian.”
“Lin Qingtian is the Grand Chancellor but he’s the tumor of the Great Han Empire. I’ve long wanted to kill him!”
“You saw everything just then?” the white robed swordsman continued asking.
“I did!” Yan Liqiang nodded, “Senior shot at Lin Qingtian and then I saw him turn into a monster and run off towards that direction...”
The white-robed swordsman looked at the direction Lin Qingtian ran and sighed, “What a pity, I didn’t kill him this ti...”
“Senior, who is Lin Qingtian? Why did he turn into that?” Yan Liqiang asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
“Do you want to know?” the white robed swordsman asked deeply.
After hesitating for one second, Yan Liqiang nodded.
“There are people coming!” The white robed swordsman turned around and glanced outside before coughing. He supported his body using his sword with difficulty. After stopping the cough, he pointed at the ground, “There’s Lin Qingtian’s broken arm... if you want to know the answer, pick it up and follow ...”
Then, the white-robed swordsman dashed and disappeared into the woods. Yan Liqiang looked at the ground and ran over. There was indeed an arm. That was no human arm; it was more like a crocodile claw. There were dark scales all over the thick arm. Its nails were like the claws of wild beasts.
Yan Liqiang picked up that inhuman arm and went into the woods too.
A few minutes after the two left, one figure dashed and then two people appeared in the valley.
One was an old man whose beard was white. The other was a white-faced eunuch. Yan Liqiang had seen him in the imperial palace before.
The old man scanned the valley and said, “They’ve already left!”
“There’s sothing here...” The eunuch ca to where Yan Liqiang had picked up the broken arm. He bent down and felt behind a rock before picking up sothing. It seed to be the skin of a broken tail. It was half the size of a palm and covered in tough scales.
Looking at this, the eunuch’s face changed, “Go, let’s go back to the imperial court!”
After the two left, a few more waves of people ca to the valley and left after conducting a short search...
...
Two days later, the capital released news that shocked the world. The official imperial court announced that Grand Chancellor Lin Qingtian was assassinated. The announcent was obscure about the assassination process and just said it might involve so enmity and the imperial court will use all its resources to apprehend Lin Qingtian’s murderer. On the sa day, the Minister of Justice was sent to prison by the Emperor for failing to maintain security and allowing thugs to hurt the safety of the capital city by causing the Grand Chancellor to be assassinated...
