Chapter 525: The Sacred Dragon Force Must Not Be Offended

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although his speculations were right…how could Elder Ancestor Bai own up to them?

He had fooled many important figures from the upper realm, which was why he was able to gain approval from the Heavenly Axiom of this realm, and was granted with rare Heavenly Merits.

As a result, he made unbelievable progress on the path to godhood, and advanced like a rocket. Besides, the Greater Rat Demon Clan grew stronger rapidly, which shocked quite a number of those who knew all about gods.

These people would never be able to put together the reason behind his smooth sail in his cultivation path.

This was the advantage he obtained by exchanging the blood and the lives of important figures from the upper realm.

As long as he cultivated, he could never be free from Heaven and Earth.

Those who obeyed the mandate of Heaven would live in peace, while those who defied it would have to work hard.

During the Era of Technology of this world, “Heaven” was the “law of nature”. If one violated the law of nature, the consequences faced would be just like the many examples from educational books.

Throughout nearly 20 years of lurking in China’s Truth Department, Elder Ancestor Bai had not been a good-for-nothing. By utilizing the department’s channels, he laid out layers of traps at various locations with frail space barriers.

In order to assure his advantageous position as the first transmigrator, he exterminated his competitors, which was both highly beneficial for him and for the Heaven and Earth here. It gave them time to adapt and to adjust.

One who harmed others without benefiting oneself was an incorrigible idiot, one who harmed others to benefit oneself was an opportunist. One who neither harmed others nor benefited oneself was a mediocrity, one who benefited both others and oneself was a wise man; but the one who benefited oneself and profited Heaven must be a divine being.

At this moment, while focusing on his defense, he verbally attacked Ling Yunzi.

“Soaring Cloud Leader, you’re a powerful leader too, why are you being so overbearing? I had neither enmity against you in the past nor rancor in recent times, why would I harm you? We’re both from the upper realm, so we’re both guests in this realm. We should advance forth hand in hand, to be able to live here peacefully.”

Upon hearing that, the water mist figure was not moved at all, he continued attacking.

In just a brief moment’s time, a voice was heard from within the water mist.

“Hmph, Greater Rat Clan Leader, you don’t have to go on with your smooth, clever talk. Before coming, I’ve done my homework. So far, there were a total of twenty-seven powerhouses who descended from the upper realm to Earth. After they descended, only three of them survived. Evidently, somebody has been killing them secretly, is there anyone else with a motive and the power to do so other than you, the ambitious person who was the first to descend?”

“There is, the one who is watching all this from Heaven, doesn’t he have the same motive and power? …” When Elder Ancestor Bai heard him, an idea came to his mind, he immediately pointed at the sky with one hand, then announced confidently.

“Uh…” The water mist figure was startled upon hearing that, he could not help but look up. As if he was hesitating, he stopped attacking.

In that spur of a moment, Elder Ancestor Bai had already taken the opportunity to flee underground, and completely vanished from sight.

For him, it would be better to keep these meaningless battles to a minimum. Just like over a year ago when he was able to tolerate Vigilante A, he could also tolerate Ling Yunzi who was so reputable in the upper realm.

“Damn it, I got distracted by your incessant talking. Vigilante A is an idiot who lives on his own by the name of justice, it’s true that he has such motives but he’s born a hero, he won’t use these sneaky tricks…”

Before he even finished his sentence, a Heavenly Sword came down from the sky, and pierced through the water mist figure’s heart coldly.

“Curse you, how dare you mount a sneak attack too, can you still call yourself a hero, aren’t you afraid that it’ll obstruct your cultivation path?!” The water mist figure uttered these words with immense effort.

“To counter despicable villains like you who bully others with your strength, there’s no need for me to use heroic measures! Besides, didn’t the old rat just remind you that I’m watching from above? How can you say that it’s a sneak attack?” Vigilante A transformed from the Heavenly Sword as he replied faintly.

“…” The water mist figure fluttered in the air.

System Notification: [The System eradicated Ling Yunzi’s cloud mist body double.]

[The System gained some experience points.]

[The System gained bountiful Heroic Fame.]

[The System’s fame in an extraterritorial map increased.]

“Damn it, this old Daoist’s body double is different from Zhi Nan the bald monk. Each time I wreck that fellow, I’ll gain ten billion experience points. As for this fellow, it’s always so little, he’s not much different from a little monster.” Sir commented angrily.

Fang Ning pondered a while after hearing that, he then answered, “Oh, I think this is exactly the difference between them. Zhi Nan is a demon lord, so his body double is almost equivalent to a normal life, which has extremely profound wisdom too. On the other hand, this fellow’s body double is just transformed from his magic, attached with some spiritual controls, which is the same as a tool. When you wreck a machine, the maxim won’t give you any experience points.”

“Oh, that’s true.” Sir confirmed.

Before Fang Ning could even feel proud of himself, the Sir was still unwilling to let this go. “Where is this old man’s real body then? I asked you to look into the whereabouts of this old man’s real body and Zhi Nan’s real body, you were quite forthright when you agreed to it two days ago but all you’ve been doing is playing games or sleep. When are you going to drag this until?”

“Uh… Wait a moment, I’ll look for his possible hiding spots for you right away.” Fang Ning did laze around in his bed a lot but he had learned his lesson, thus he had delegated the task to Anderson before he went to sleep.

In actual fact, even if he did not do so, Anderson was also about to start gathering intelligence information on Ling Yunzi.

After all, this was a truly tough enemy to handle. In certain perspectives, Demon Lord Zhi Nan could not be compared with him.

By only setting their body doubles side by side, the latter could only rely on his intellect to sway over the cultivation world as he had limited resources with him.

Contrarily, Ling Yunzi brought along his accumulations from Soaring Cloud Faction over the years, he had countless cards on his hands. Therefore, his threat was far larger than the demon lord, and that of River God of the Sky River who had no followers. It was a must for Anderson to pay attention to an enemy like this.

For this reason, when Fang Ning secretly sneaked into Draconic Penitentiary’s office to look for Anderson, before he even finished, they had already passed him a detailed report regarding this.

Fang Ning was instantly satisfied, he took a brief look at it, and was indeed not disappointed as all the possible hiding spots of Ling Yunzi were clearly stated on it.

“What do you think, sir? You’ve probably seen it already, we can try to locate him now.” Fang Ning mentioned proudly.

All of a sudden, the Sir was speechless, it could only blurt out, “That’s great, I’ll go dig him out now.”

Vigilante A traveled all the way to the north.

Chancing upon this interval, Fang Ning and Anderson discussed the issue of Ling Yunzi.

“When Ling Yunzi fought with that old rat just now, based on what they were saying, it sounded like Ling Yunzi was also fooled by that old rat. It seemed like he was determined to fight till the end.” Fang Ning was rather shocked.

Anderson quickly explained, “Sir, this is very normal, Ling Yunzi is an exceptionally selfish man. He gathered all the cultivation resources from his faction for his own usage. Before he descended, I’m sure he brought along precious treasures from Soaring Cloud Faction, as well as their hard-earned cultivation resources. If he were to really die from Elder Ancestor Bai’s trap, he would have given those advantages to his enemy.

“For an egotistical figure like him, he’ll certainly not tolerate this, and he won’t allow it to happen again. This was why he must exterminate Elder Ancestor Bai to stop him from harming him again.”

Fang Ning agreed with them, he also noticed that as soon as Anderson replied, sir’s sword sped up a lot…

He was at a loss for words, he then reminded, “If you’re so eager to steal his precious, why don’t you just use your Diversion Technique?”

“Are you dumb?” Sir responded righteously, “This fellow is a tricky one, he has too many tricks up his sleeves, I must reserve vital energy to battle him.”

“Uh, sure enough, an underachiever shouldn’t express opinions in a genius’ field. From now on, I won’t speak.” Since Fang Ning could not refute, he surrendered.

…

In Pan Family’s luxurious residence located in the suburb of China’s Ji City.

“I have some urgent matters to attend to, you may continue cultivating the technique I’ve just taught you.” Ling Yunzi called Pan Liang over abruptly, then disappeared after leaving this message.

Nonetheless, Pan Liang was smart, his face changed almost immediately.

“Someone, quickly clean up all traces of the old master…”

“Clean what?” A cold voice was heard from the sky.

Next thing he knew, a hatchway opened up in his room, and a person came down through it.

“You…” Pan Liang was appalled but he quickly reacted and greeted that person respectfully, “Greetings, Dragon God Hero. Please excuse everyone from Pan Residence for not welcoming you at the door, it’s truly our mistake, here are some small gifts to express our apology.”

He casually took out some of the valuable gifts that were initially prepared for Ling Yunzi…

However, Vigilante A who was said to be “money-mad” did not even glance at his “valuable gifts”, he stared at him coldly then left.

At once, Pan Liang was drenched in sweat, he felt like he had been gazed at by an exceedingly ferocious beast.

It was then when he realized why the sacred Dragon Force must not be offended!

Formerly, he often cursed Vigilante A and criticized him behind his back but from today onwards, he would never dare to mention anything bad about him.

This was because he now knew that even a person as powerful as Ling Yunzi had to flee from him too.

Let alone someone like him.

…

Vigilante A dashed into the sky.

“Sigh, I missed out on a hundred million.” Sir was in low spirits.

“There’s nothing we can do, Ling Yunzi is more unlawful than I am.” Fang Ning comforted.

“I’m not talking about him, I’m saying if that fellow just now was an upright man, I would’ve accepted his gifts. What a pity, there’s something off about him, but he hasn’t committed any evil deeds, I can’t do anything.” Sir continued gloomily.

“Oh, you’re talking about that ruthless little guy, he clearly colluded with Ling Yunzi. His strength is weak, it’s clearly stated on the System Map. You just have to keep an eye on him from time to him, we’ll be able to find Ling Yunzi through him.” Fang Ning hinted.

“You’re right, I won’t waste my time finding for Ling Yunzi anymore, I’ll just watch this little guy from the System Map.” Sir turned its sorrow into joy.
