Chapter 512: Gather for Me at Midnight Tonight

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Gather for Me at Midnight Tonight Today’s battlefield is extremely perilous. Gu She and Lin Xiaosu split up to face the enemies, amidst dangers, finally achieving success with great difficulty. And this, is under the most ideal scenario. Suppose, just suppose... Suppose Gu She betrays, sending Lin Xiaosu, the Nine Headed Snake’s greatest foe, straight into the Ghost Gate. Even if he kills Wu Guang, even if he commits the greatest taboo, he can still receive the Lord’s generous reward. Gu She could break free from the predicament. Gu She couldn’t understand, why someone as smart as Lin Xiaosu could be so naive to truly trust him. Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Because of your sister! I believe that her thirteen-year hope will not be extinguished." Believing his sister! Believing in an ethereal hope! Gu She, full of doubt, yet deep down, he felt a peculiar sensation: "You... tell me the truth, are you my brother-in-law?" What? Lin Xiaosu’s eyes widened. "I even somewhat suspect that Little Moon is actually born from you and my sister; otherwise, she wouldn’t trust you so much, revealing all our deepest secrets to you. Also, you wouldn’t be this trusting of me." "You’re talking too much, brother!" Lin Xiaosu patted his shoulder, "Want to hear what my next arrangement is?" As soon as the word ’brother’ came out, Gu She trembled all over. My God, does this count as acknowledgment? He really is brother-in-law? For years, never having a relative, now a bunch suddenly appeared! "Tell me! I’ll handle it!" Gu She readily agreed. "Go out, relay my orders!" Lin Xiaosu’s voice suddenly changed to the Lord’s voice: "Tonight, no irrelevant personnel is allowed within the Doufang Temple’s walls; all key leaders from various lines must enter the Doufang Temple. At midnight, I will announce the upcoming critical mission, concerning everyone." "Yes!" Gu She accepted the order, went out of the secret room with bold determination. Outside, the silent platform. Through the passage, returning to the Zen Room, Gu She relayed the "Lord’s" orders. The orders were transmitted through seven key nodes, layer by layer. It was ten in the morning, fourteen hours away from midnight. In fourteen hours, with such convenient transportation, anyone in Daxia’s territory can reach here. Even those abroad, most can still arrive. Signs indicate the most secretive group of the Nine Headed Snake, the highest echelon of the Nine Headed Snake, will gather at Doufang Temple tonight, only because the Lord, who hadn’t appeared in person for a long time, will reveal himself! Nine Headed Snake suffered severe setbacks, almost all fronts were severed; those exposed became victims under the knife, prisoners in jail, or fugitives on the run, while the unexposed high ranks were also like startled birds. At this moment, they urgently need the Lord to give them reassurance, also a guiding light. The Lord clearly instructed that at midnight tonight is the key node for the Lord to make the next phase of directives. No one dares not to come! Because as long as you don’t come, you will be marked as "having ulterior motives." At this time, being marked is akin to being listed on the Death List. Blue Demon had already returned to headquarters. Sitting on the platform by the river of Blood Trace King. The mark on Blood Trace King’s forehead glows blood-red. This scar came from the White clothed King. Originally he could use modern medical techniques to remove it, but Blood Trace King is a proud person who refuses to do such bloodless things; he wants to personally eliminate White clothed King first, then remove it. Now that White clothed King is long gone, theoretically he can remove it. However, this old guy suddenly has a new reason; I figured it out, using this Blood Trace to record these stormy years, too lazy to remove it. So, it remained. At this moment, listening to Blue Demon’s words, the Blood Trace faintly radiated, seemingly showcasing his inner battle excitement. Beside Blue Demon was Miao Yin Heavenly King. Miao Yin Heavenly King’s gaze lifted; he looked towards the sky, "With Gu She leading the way into the enemy’s base camp, it truly is a brilliant scheme, but what gives him the assurance that Gu She won’t turn malicious?" "Perhaps he thinks since Gu She killed the Lord’s assigned monitor, there’s no turning back for him now." Blue Demon replied. Miao Yin Heavenly King gently shook his head, "From a common sense perspective, this statement is not wrong, but it overlooks the Nine Headed Snake’s usual style; the Nine Headed Snake is a typical interest group. As long as the benefits offered to this interest group are big enough, they can completely change the rules. If Gu She offers Lin Xiaosu’s head to the Lord, even committing the greatest crime, he can erase it in one stroke, and even receive the Lord’s generous reward." As soon as this statement, Blue Demon and Blood Trace almost burst with heartbeat. Because they know Miao Yin Heavenly King is right. Just when Miao Yin Heavenly King’s words stirred their emotions, Blue Demon’s Dragon Eye received a message; the message source showed an unknown signal, but the message content... Her complexion instantly turned an alluring shade of red, unprecedentedly beautiful... Moments later, light beamed across her eyes: "Partners, no need to worry, he has already killed the Lord, and in the name of the Lord, ordered all members of the Nine Headed Snake to gather at Doufang Mountain; at midnight tonight, the extermination operation officially begins!" Throughout this day, until the setting sun. Lin Xiaosu sat on the Taishi Chair, resting with closed eyes. Actually, he was not resting. His brain is akin to a high-speed computer operating at full throttle. He deeply sighed; indeed risk and opportunity coexist. With great risks, naturally there would be great opportunities. The Lord had been taken care of by him. The end of the Nine Headed Snake’s remnants had thus entered the agenda, marking a significant gain. However, gains go beyond that. The greater reward is still hidden within the Lord’s Primordial Spirit. The primordial spirit was shattered, and regardless of the Sovereign’s origins, spanning tens of thousands of years, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. Yet, from these remnants of the primordial spirit, some scattered information can still be deciphered. In the ancient information, there are some fragments from times long past... In the recent information, there are many secrets, each capable of shaking the heavens and earth. For instance, from the Sovereign’s primordial spirit imprint, he found several remnants of civilizations, including the mysterious location where the Wing Blade was found... But the greatest secret is not this, it is the "Three-Character Bone Book." The Three-Character Bone Book doesn’t just exist in recent memories; it spans the Sovereign’s entire life, from ancient to present, and is currently the Sovereign’s greatest obsession... The Three-Character Bone Book once appeared in Emperor Kun’s possession. It possesses endless great divine power. Emperor Kun was able to open the Juedi Passage through the power of the Three-Character Bone Book. The Sovereign emerged in this era, forming the Hydra, but his ultimate goal is also the Three-Character Bone Book. He wants to establish a vast network under his control, mobilizing everyone worldwide to search for this extraordinary book. This is the origin of the Hydra. This is also the ultimate mission of the Hydra. Besides this, Lin Xiaosu gained more in terms of cultivation. Firstly, his Sub-divine Realm is blessed. The Sovereign’s Sub-god foundation, honed over a lifetime, was completely absorbed by him. In just half a day, his Sub-god skill reached Level 26, and it’s still advancing. Once the "nourishment from the Sovereign" stored in the Sub-divine Realm is completely digested, it’s expected he might reach Level 30. What is the concept of Level 30? The standard for Sub-gods to display power! Reaching this day, to kill in the void is just a thought away! Secondly, the Sun Lotus also entered the Secret Realm. The Sun Lotus is one of the Sub-god’s three treasures. The power the Sovereign could wield was merely a fraction of its surface. This Sovereign, accompanied by the Sun Lotus for tens of thousands of years, had a Sub-god skill only around thirty or so levels. From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to convert the power of the Sun Lotus into one’s own Sub-god power. However, if the Sovereign couldn’t achieve it, does it mean Lin Xiaosu can’t? That might not be the case. His comprehension, how could this old man compare? This is the Sub-god harvest. There is an even greater harvest that overturned Lin Xiaosu’s understanding. That is the harvest regarding the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit was too unfamiliar to him. For a long period, he didn’t even know what the silver fish of the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit was. But now, as he refines and absorbs the fragments of the Sovereign’s primordial spirit, his knowledge about the primordial spirit is slowly being supplemented, and he finally knows the direction of his own primordial spirit development. His primordial spirit is the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit. The Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, even in the flourishing cultivation path of the ancient era, was a divine luck in cultivation. However, the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is its infinite harmony with the Heavenly Dao; using this primordial spirit to comprehend the Heavenly Dao rules results in twice the success with half the effort. The disadvantage is that since the primordial spirit is an external entity, its fusion with the main body is lacking. Therefore, his primordial spirit cultivation direction is: to purify the Heavenly Dao attribute and merge it with his own Human Path attribute, achieving "Unity of Heaven and Man." Time passed minute by minute... In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes and slowly stood up. He walked out of the dark room, and the moment he left, his face transformed into the appearance of the Sovereign. Step by step, he came to the platform inside the waterfall. Before him, flying pearls splashed like jade. The mist hit his face. His Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye pierced through this water curtain, gazing at Doufang Temple under the night sky. Today, Doufang Temple was filled with people, yet it exhibited a different kind of silence from the past. The visitors to the temple do not stay overnight. Occasionally, some tourists from afar come for a moonlit stroll at night, but today they are all kept outside the temple, because Doufang Temple posted an announcement: tonight there will be an "Exorcism Ritual" held in the temple. An Exorcism Ritual is very mysterious in Buddhism and is also something that people are very wary of. If outsiders intrude randomly, they might invite evil spirits upon themselves. Who dares to touch that? Not to mention the tourists stopped long ago, even the few villas halfway up the mountain closed early and strictly forbade children from wandering outside after the temple posted the notice. Therefore, Doufang Mountain was eerily quiet tonight. A shadow flashed, and gu she appeared behind Lin Xiaosu. Along with him came the old monk Hui Ta who guarded the last Zen room. "Sovereign, the people have mostly arrived!" Hui Ta bowed. "Good, you seven protectors, first go to the Zen Hall to secure the place. The inner disciples, guard the temple." "Yes!" The last batch of high-level figures was sent into the Zen Hall all at once. Behind the waterfall, only two remained, Lin Xiaosu and gu she. Gu she’s eyes lifted, filled with infinite excitement: "Everything is arranged!" Lin Xiaosu smiled gently, his smile exceptionally bright under the starlight reflected by the waterfall.
