Chapter 485: 485
Hearing this, Gao Li’s smile briefly froze on his face before blossoming again, as if he hadn’t been affected by Gao Dongran at all.
"Young Master Gao, the Yamaguchi-gumi has already arrived in the East Sea, and it’s none other than their number three, Heno Sumio. According to my information, Heno Sumio is here to deal with Lin Kuang. Perhaps we can just wait and watch them fight.
"After all, when two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt. Even if Lin Kuang manages to kill the n from the Yamaguchi-gumi, I think he’ll still find himself in a perilous situation. If you want to kill him, that would be the ti to strike.
"Additionally, I’ll have my people continue searching for evidence. If possible, I’d still prefer to use ’legal’ ans to take down Lin Kuang," Gao Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gao Dongran glanced indifferently at Gao Li and said lightly, "Go on. Notify
imdiately if you have any news."
"Of course, Young Master Gao." After speaking, Gao Li smiled faintly and turned to leave.
anwhile, Lin Kuang had already returned ho with little Xinxin. Just as he arrived, an unexpected person appeared before him.
Seeing this person, Lin Kuang was startled, and a wary expression appeared in his eyes.
"Young fellow, I gave you the Naless Sword for free. Why are you looking at
so warily?" the Naless Elder asked, beaming at Lin Kuang from the sofa.
Indeed, this person was the middle-aged man who had been selling the sword on the street; his true identity was the Naless Elder.
Lin Kuang stared at the Naless Elder in shock. Just monts ago, the man had been standing right in front of him, yet in the ti it took to speak, he was already sitting on the sofa!
Lin Kuang was certain he hadn’t seen the Naless Elder move at all, yet there he was, inexplicably sitting on the sofa.
Such incredible speed. This is definitely the fastest I’ve ever witnessed. Lin Kuang thought, observing the old man who sat on the sofa with utter composure.
"What are you thinking about? Have a seat. I’m not going to harm you; otherwise, you wouldn’t still be standing there," the Naless Elder said with a relaxed smile, his tone so light it seed impossible to resist.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang simply nodded and took a seat on the sofa.
"Huh? Grandpa, who are you?" At that mont, little Xinxin ca downstairs and, upon seeing the Naless Elder, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Seeing little Xinxin’s adorable deanor, a hint of fondness rose in the Naless Elder’s eyes.
"Little girl, I’m a good friend of Lin Kuang’s," the Naless Elder said with a smile.
"Oh, so you’re a friend of Uncle Lin’s," little Xinxin nodded in understanding.
"Xinxin, go upstairs and do your howork. Don’t co down," Lin Kuang said, looking at her with a serious tone.
"Okay then," Little Xinxin pouted, turning to go upstairs.
"There’s really no need for that. I an no harm to you or your loved ones," the Naless Elder said to Lin Kuang with a smile.
"What are you doing here? Why did you give
the Naless Sword? What exactly is your purpose?" Looking at the Naless Elder, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but fire off a series of three questions.
Upon hearing this, the Naless Elder smiled faintly. "Young fellow, don’t be in such a hurry. There are so things you are not yet permitted to know. You only need to know this: Naless is fated to be yours. Slash Path will also fall into your hands, as will the treasure map.
"As for why I ca looking for you, it was for a simple reason: to tell you that I’ve already inford the major families of the Ancient Martial Realm about the fight you had at the Pei Family’s estate last night. Now, the entire Ancient Martial Realm knows of you, Lin Kuang, and that your strength isn’t half bad."
Just as the Naless Elder said, he was indeed the one who spread the news about Lin Kuang’s rampage at the Pei Family’s estate. He had been in Shennongjia the entire ti, witnessing Lin Kuang’s arrival, his battle, and his departure with his own eyes. As for why the Naless Elder chose to spread this news, likely only he himself knew the reason.
Hearing the Naless Elder’s words, Lin Kuang’s expression shifted slightly, and his brows instantly furrowed. "Why would you do that?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. Sooner or later, your na would have reached the major families of the Ancient Martial Realm anyway. I rely released the news a little early, that’s all," the Naless Elder replied with a smile, as if his answer had nothing to do with Lin Kuang’s question.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang frowned again, truly unable to comprehend what this Naless Elder was up to.
"Alright, you don’t plan on telling
anything. You ca here just to inform
that you spread the news about my fight at the Pei Family’s estate?" Lin Kuang asked sowhat helplessly, staring at the old man.
"Yes, that’s more or less it. Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you: the bearer of Slash Path is about to appear. When he does, a battle between you two is inevitable. This fight cannot be avoided; it will end with either your death or his.
"I ca to tell you to improve your strength. While your current power isn’t bad, it still falls short when compared to the bearer of Slash Path. Furthermore, you have yet to understand the wonders of the Eight Gates Escape Technique. Only when you open the Gate of Death will you realize how truly profound it is.
"Oh, and if you wish to duel the bearer of Slash Path, you must open the sixth gate, the Scenic Gate. That is the only way you will survive. Of course, your chances of victory still won’t be great. Unless you also open Jingn, you will not be victorious," the Naless Elder said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang was profoundly shaken. He wasn’t shocked that the Naless Elder knew of the Eight Gates Escape Technique, but that the old man’s understanding of it seed to be even greater than his own.
"Who... Who exactly are you?!" Lin Kuang couldn’t help but ask, his curiosity about the Naless Elder’s identity reaching its peak.
"? I’m just a stubborn old coot who refuses to die," the Naless Elder said, chuckling.
Lin Kuang didn’t believe a word of it. If this man was just so old coot, then Lin Kuang himself was less than an infant.
Just as Lin Kuang was about to ask another question, the Naless Elder spoke again. "Little girl, why have you co down again?"
Hearing this, Lin Kuang froze and instinctively looked back, only to find that Xinxin hadn’t co down at all. Realizing this, he whipped his head back around.
However, by the ti Lin Kuang turned back, the Naless Elder’s figure had vanished without a trace. Only the villa’s open door and a gentle breeze remained.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s pupils constricted.
The Naless Elder’s speed was simply too fast. Lin Kuang was sure that the act of turning his head and turning back hadn’t even taken half a second, yet the Naless Elder was already gone.
What was more terrifying was that Lin Kuang hadn’t sensed a thing. In the presence of the Naless Elder, his powerful Perception seed utterly useless.
