Chapter 35: Kill order 1

The moment Gu Lin Fang stepped out of the study, Gu Ji Bei spotted him and began speaking.

He had clearly forgotten about Seniority or the fact that he was from the branch family, the thought of increasing his lifespan and cultivation made him unable to control himself.

He felt like draining all the blood from Gu Lin Fang and awakening immediately!!, He looked at Gu Lin Fang with so much greed, like he wanted to eat him.

"Lin Fang!!....agh! Hoo! Hoo!" He opened his mouth to speak but after he mentioned Gu Lin Fang's name, he noticed that the world was spinning until he hit something.

His face was soon splashed with blood as he watched his headless body fall and it all went dark.

'wha...'

Ji Hung and Ji Wan stood frozen in place, looking at Gu Ji Bei's headless corpse.

Earlier, Gu Ji Wan couldn't see anything at all, Gu Ji Hung who was now in the Nascent soul realm just managed to catch a glimpse.

The moment Gu Lin Fang stepped out of the study, He only saw Gu Lin Fang lift his cane like he wanted to unsheathe a sword and a Golden flash passed by them before...

Gu Lin Fang's voice came from behind as he kept walking away, "Wei Fan, is my bath ready?".

The pale faced Gu Wei Fan responded with a look filled with horror, "Yes Lord Patriarch!!"

Silence lingered in the air for a few seconds, with only the sound of Gu Lin Fang's cane, they couldn't even feel his aura anymore but the sound of the cane told them otherwise.

After another second of dreaded silence, "Clean that mess up".

It was unknown, who He was referring to but they all suddenly sighed in relief at same time, making the situation awkward.

_____________

On the other hand, Gu Lin Fang's expression was filled with ecstasy as he thought about the effects of having a Max level skill (Lv 5).

Last night he had bought a new purple grade sword technique along with a cultivation method for the clan, there was even a basic Gu refinement method too and now out of his six martial techniques spots, there only three occupied.

[Lv 2 Crooked war finger]

[Lv 4 Banshee's footprint]

[Lv 5(Max) Golden snake sword]

The Experience from unequipping the other unnecessary techniques wasn't enough for the abnormally high [Crooked war finger] and he felt like the [Banshee's footprint] was great as it was.

So he removed the [Nether poison needle technique] and used all the experience points to Max the [Golden snake sword] Technique. That was when he found out that he could still improve maxed out skills by fulfilling certain conditions and missions set up by the system.

This is what usually sets people apart, aside from the cultivation realm.

For him this was easy, as he could see the conditions just like the players, unlike the normal NPCs who can't.

Soon he arrived at the bath house and he began to undress while thinking, 'Golden snake sword(Purple), Departed void Heart(Blue), Yin Yang heart locking Gu(green), you guys are worth!!

Right!, Ji Bei's body should be good to refine the [yin yang heart locking Gu]'.

[Ding!]

[Your Gu clan has fallen into Hostile relationship with the Zhao clan and their Allies.

Note: Should any of the Zhao clan and their Allies (Lian, Xu, etc) run into any Gu clan members, there will be a 100% chance of being attacked.]

[The Xu clan has openly released a kill order on your clan, you will now show as red names on the map.

Duration: 6 hours 45 minutes]

[Do you wish to use a Gu clan kill order in retaliation?

Note: once used, experience gained from killing target clan members doubles.

You cannot enter resting state during the kill order duration.]

[Your Gu clan has fallen into an unfriendly relationship with the Lian clan]

[Your negative relationship with Zhao Ye ma has escalated to Blood feud!]

[List of properties annexed from the Zhao clan include,

Pharmacy x4

Black smiths x3

Mini casino x1

Updating...]

Gu Lin Fang dipped himself into the warm water and read through the new notification in amusement.

"They must be having a lot of fun right now" he mutters to himself while responding to the systems question with a no.

"No resting state, means no healing during combat..."He calculated in his head and felt it wasn't worth it tonight, 'It's not yet time for me to fight hard, for now we fish in troubled waters and add Xu to the menu.

By tomorrow when they're getting tired, I'll enter the fray and unlock this pagoda while am at it.' He calmly closed his eyes to rest.

_____________

After bathing for about 30 minutes, he felt refreshed. The sluggish feeling from drawing over 15 maps had left him.

He then decided to only wear a navy blue martial suit but still held his cane 'Moon Dust'.

['Eternal Glory' has arrived.

Interested Players over the age of 18 are now allowed to quickly create their character.

The official release is in one day, ten hours and twenty three minutes left. Please be prepared! And have a great day.]

Suddenly a cold mechanical voice stated loudly in his head and he couldn't help raising an eyebrow.

If he wasn't aware of this before, maybe he might have died of a heart attack.

Knock! knock!

"Master, I was told to inform you that Young Master Yu Xing has returned" A young girl's voice came from the other side of the door.

"alright"

Somewhere in Evil men's valley,

Strong winds blew across the valley, making sounds like a howling ghost and disappears from time to time, In a certain courtyard, the clouds above it and mists surrounding it was simply erratic.

The sound of a Guqin gradually became clear, like a cold stream, it flowed out of the secluded room facing the courtyard, clear and cold, like an indifferent Koi fish in a clear pond.

A melody creeped out ever so slowly, captivating those within a hundred meters.

A figure could be seen kneeling in front of the room with his eyes closed and an extremely chaotic aura could be felt from his body.

Extremely turbulent, with a low roar of a dragon exuding from his body.

The figure listened quietly, but you can clearly see his agitated face.

Internally, it felt like he was riding a dangerous boat across the Wu Gorge.

Kpa!

"It's getting worse!" The music stops as a dreamy voice came from within the secluded room, laced with worry and a hint of sarcasm.

The agitated man opened his eyes as his mouth twitched, it was unknown whether he was grimacing or smiling.

At the end, he sighed "although I have escaped the clutches of that pervert Demon venerable Shi Mo and injured him, it was not without sacrifice, my Nascent soul is riddled with cracks and my origin!! My origin...

To think I, Lin Huang, would be reduced to the point of living in the body of a puppet zombie, Aaagh!!".

The dreamy voice snorted with a laugh, "Lin Huang oh Lin Huang! You went against, the sixth great villain of the ten great villains and survived, if you survive...

Your name would spread across Jianghu, you might even be close to becoming one of the great villains. After all, their are some empty seats...

Then if I kill you..."

Hearing her words, Lin Huang's guard was raised.

"Hehehe" the dreamy voice giggled as she opened the door of the secluded room.

Dressed in a revealing yellow robe, a beauty that looks about 20 years in age, walked out with a teasing smile.

The tiny mole beneath her left eye and her shining eyes, always drew attention to her face.

She squatted down in front of Lin Huang, "relax, we have been friends for sixty years already... do you think I would do such a thing".

She smiled till her eyes became a thin line, like they were closed but it still made Lin Huang uneasy. In the end he gave an awkward laugh, "Xin Xing, you once again look exceedingly beautiful today".

Xin Xing looked shocked as she covers her mouth with her hands and looked around, "aiya!, How did you know?!!... your teasing me again".

Lin Huang really wished he could run away at the fastest speed right now but he couldn't afford to use too much Qi.

"Well, I know with those cracks you can't handle the backlash from seizing a living body but..." She paused with an expression that said 'come on, beg me!'.

Lin Huang could only awkwardly say, "Xin Xing is mighty!".

"Ayaa look at you Lin Huang, be careful ... I might really have to keep you" she says with a bashful expression.

Lin Huang's already stiffened face became even more unnatural, ' sister please don't...'

Thinking of all the Wudang and Shaolin sect males eaten by this woman, he could only shiver, but then he remembered he no longer has a real body anyways.

"Anyway, there's a rumor in our Evil men's valley, that someone made a puppet that no different from a living person" She spoke slowly while drawing circles on the ground.

But her words shook Lin Huang to the core and left him in disbelief.

"Impossible!" Lin Huang retorted.

"What's even stranger is that, it's not Zombie King Mei Sheng, who did it...I hear he's searching for news recently.

You know, besides Demon venerable Shi Mo and Zombie King Mei Sheng, no one is interested in corpse puppets. But if this news is true..." Xin Xing let the news sink in.

"This method is not only like having a second life for Nascent souls but... This!!"Lin Huang couldn't sit still anymore, "where was this news gotten from?".

"Hehehe... Tell me Lin Huang, am I pretty?!" Xin Xing giggled, placing her chin on her hands.

"Pretty... very pretty, prettiest in the world!" Lin Huang shamelessly declared.

Xin Xing giggled again and stood saying, "the Wei clan calvary guards escorted their Young Master to see Divine doctor Li and some got drunk in Old Mu's bar.

That's where they spoke of it, It was apparently seen at {Iron Crow City}".

Lin Huang frowned, "it's too far by horse... it'd take us around 2 weeks, I don't have that long"

"We'll take an Airship... I'll pay" Xin Xing cut his thoughts off with a smile.

"What?!" He asked in shock but she was still smiling and said nothing again.

"..."

At the end, Lin Huang finally says "when do we leave? And why are you going...."

Xin Xing says with an innocent expression that said 'what else would I be going for?'

"I'm curious to see what kind of person made such discovery"

Lin Huang looked at her speechlessly while looking at her stomach, 'You just want to eat him, sister your not honest!'.
