Chapter 103 - 100 Cautious Shi Keling (Extra chapter for Alliance Hierarch Dajiangyoudee)

It looked like he needed to get himself a gun, no matter what, he had to try if those nine moves were really that formidable. Where could he get a gun? Right, he could go to the Qu Family. The Qu Family was one of the Four Great Families of the Hua Xia specializing in Cold Weapons. As long as he brought the materials over, they would definitely be able to forge him a decent spear. Looking at the half-piece of the Blossom God Crystal Stone in his hand, Ding Huan knew that there was no point in continuing his cultivation. "Brother... I think I just saw Shi Keling," sensing that Ding Huan had finished his cultivation, Qi Xinyue hurried in and whispered. She used to call him Brother Ding, now she didn't even bother with the surname. She held a telescope in her hand. Knowing that Ding Huan was here guarding against Shi Keling, Qi Xinyue had been keeping an eye out at the window whenever she could after finding a telescope. She hadn't expected to actually spot it. Shi Keling had come? Ding Huan immediately perked up; this was great news. Shi Keling had at least tens of thousands of Blossom God Crystal Stones on him. If he could take down Shi Keling, not only would he solve a disaster for Earth, but he would also gain a large number of Blossom God Crystal Stones. "Where is he? When did he come?" Ding Huan asked eagerly. "Just a little while ago. He's very cautious, wearing a camouflage suit, and seems to be heading toward the International Museum," Qi Xinyue said. Ding Huan inwardly lamented that it was a pity. If he had known Shi Keling was coming, hiding near the International Museum would have been the best. "Xinyue, pretend to go to the museum too, I'll hide on the side," Ding Huan made the decision immediately. "Okay," Qi Xinyue agreed without hesitation. "Remember, if you have your back to this guy, within one breath, you must evade, whether you feel an attack or not," Ding Huan added a warning, worried that Shi Keling might act too quickly for him to provide support. This Shi Keling was sneakier than Lao Liu; he had to be extra cautious. "Mm, I know," Qi Xinyue nodded. Although she had dispelled her Divine Power, she was now a Second Level gene cultivator, and in terms of True Yuan density, she was even stronger than before. Additionally, with her aptitude for concealment and movement, her evasion speed would only be improved, not diminished. Qi Xinyue cautiously headed toward the museum, her ability to hide her tracks was so adept that one might not notice her without careful observation. Ding Huan followed Qi Xinyue from a safe distance, aided by his Wind Control Skill and Divine Will. ... Outside the Federation International Museum, a thin man was vigilantly observing his surroundings. It seemed that any slight movement would make him flee immediately. A few low-level Fierce Beasts emerged, but instead of engaging them, the thin man became even more cautious and avoided the beasts. After waiting outside the museum for at least half an hour and confirming that no one was around, he carefully slipped inside through the door. Seeing the Searcher, which Ding Huan had hacked into a wreck, he trembled with rage. "These damn bastards. A good spaceship ruined like this. If I don't kill all the idiots here, my name isn't Zuo Shanyi," the thin man muttered bitterly to himself. After saying this, he leapt onto the spaceship. When he saw the living quarters' floor had been dug up and the Blossom God Crystal Stones inside had disappeared, his complexion changed instantly. He hesitated not even a moment before dashing out of the spaceship and quickly rushing out of the museum's main entrance. Shortly after leaving, Zuo Shanyi felt a sudden chill and quickly hid behind a pillar. Then, he rubbed his eyes. He wasn't mistaken; it was indeed Qi Xinyue. How could this woman possibly be here? Wasn't she dead? Aside from him, no one else should have survived aboard the Searcher, and even if someone did, they couldn't just freely walk around like this. Even though he knew that Qi Xinyue was no match for him, Zuo Shanyi still didn't make a move. After observing for a few minutes, he realized that Qi Xinyue seemed to be cautious just like him, sneaking and advancing carefully. This made Zuo Shanyi realize he was overthinking. He knew all too well what kind of person Qi Xinyue was. In terms of schemes, she couldn't even compare to him. Once he was sure there was no danger, Zuo Shanyi emerged from hiding. He had come here to find Shi Keling, and to see Qi Xinyue actually walking out truly startled him. She instinctively retreated to evade, which made Zuo Shanyi even more convinced that there was no danger from her. After all, even if there was danger, he wasn't afraid. Even if he couldn't defeat her, he could easily escape. "Black Insect Ball... How could it be you?" Qi Xinyue pretended to be shocked, but she was indeed somewhat surprised. Partly by Ding Huan's accurate judgment, and partly by the fact that Shi Keling seemed to be living better than she was. If it hadn't been for Ding Huan's rescue, she would have been dead long ago. Hearing Qi Xinyue call him Black Insect Ball, a flash of murderous intent came and went in Zuo Shanyi's heart. Ever since he had entered the spaceship, no one treated him as a person, not even as a dog. In others' eyes, he was the Black Insect Ball. In fact, Zuo Shanyi had wronged Qi Xinyue—if there were one person on board the spaceship who didn't look down on him, it was Qi Xinyue. Qi Xinyue really thought that Zuo Shanyi had no name, which is why she followed others in calling him Black Insect Ball. If she had known Black Insect Ball was called Zuo Shanyi, she would have definitely used his name. "Sister Xinyue, how come you're here?" All the surprise showed on Zuo Shanyi's face and in his eyes, as if Qi Xinyue being alive was what brought him the greatest joy. But in his heart, murderous intent surged, and he definitely wouldn't act before figuring out why Qi Xinyue had appeared here. Knowing Ding Huan was on guard nearby, Qi Xinyue couldn't help but fear this frail-looking fellow. Now she realized that nothing about this person's facade could be trusted. This fellow was too sly; if what Ding Huan said was true, the spaceship might indeed have been drawn to Earth by him. An individual who seemed harmless and even pitiable had concealed his true depth. "I was imprisoned by them, and later when the beast tide broke out and seemed to have breached some defenses, I took my chance to escape. What about you? How come you're safe and sound? I heard that several of you had met with disaster." Qi Xinyue spoke the truth, having indeed escaped in that manner. Hearing Qi Xinyue's words, Zuo Shanyi let out a sigh of relief—that sounded more normal. According to his calculations, out of the five people on the spaceship, excluding him, none of the others could possibly still be alive. "Sister Xinyue, where do you want to go now?" Zuo Shanyi asked carefully, his tone still timid. "I want to check on the spaceship; if it's possible, I want to leave this place. I feel very scared here," explained Qi Xinyue, equally cautious. "Sister Xinyue, can you take me with you? I..." Zuo Shanyi's tone became even more humble and ingratiating. "Ah..." Qi Xinyue looked at Zuo Shanyi, "Black Insect Ball, how did you escape? Were you caught like me and then escaped during the beast tide?" After asking several times and not getting a direct answer, Qi Xinyue wanted to clarify this. Shaking his head, Zuo Shanyi said, "I know a bit about the art of concealment. It's when you all drew most of the people's attention here that I had a chance to leave. Ever since I left, I've been worried about you all. Now seeing you safe, Sister, I'm really thankful to Heaven." "Let's first go to the museum and see," Qi Xinyue hummed and then seemed to walk towards the museum unguarded. At that moment, Zuo Shanyi suddenly made his move, a slash of grey light aimed at Qi Xinyue. Almost simultaneously as Zuo Shanyi attacked, Qi Xinyue's figure flashed. "Boom!" A terrifying slice struck the spot where Qi Xinyue had been standing a moment before, and Qi Xinyue, pale-faced, looked at the mark on the ground. If it hadn't been for Ding Huan warning her to dodge immediately whenever her back was turned to the Shi Keling, she would have been cleaved in two by now. "Black Insect Ball, you... If I hadn't felt the presence of a Fierce Beast in the museum and dodged in a hurry, you would have killed me," Qi Xinyue said in shock, looking at the Shi Keling. Zuo Shanyi couldn't believe that his strike had been dodged. His sneak attack wasn't because he couldn't overcome Qi Xinyue; in fact, he had never taken Qi Xinyue's abilities seriously. He had attacked covertly because he was always cautious and didn't want any accidents. Unexpectedly, an accident still happened, and he didn't manage to ambush Qi Xinyue. Luckily for him, Qi Xinyue hadn't dodged because she sensed his sneak attack—it was pure coincidence. "Sister Xinyue, I was worried you wouldn't want to take me, so I planned to injure you, and then I would definitely take you with me. Think about it, there are only the two of us on the spaceship, and I really admire you—how could I really scheme against you?" Zuo Shanyi still spoke with a fearful tone. Qi Xinyue's expression turned cold, "I said, all of us either died or got captured, how did you survive? It seems you've been scheming from behind all along, you are truly despicable." Seeing that Qi Xinyue no longer trusted him, Zuo Shanyi straightened his back, "To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for the crappy signal here, you'd have died long ago." Seeing that Qi Xinyue didn't understand, Zuo Shanyi added indifferently, "I originally planned to poison and kill you all, but just then Earth's signal was picked up by the spaceship. Even if I hid it, I couldn't for long, so I simply used the dumb pigs of this place to get rid of you." Qi Xinyue fell silent, realizing that if it hadn't been for coming to Earth, she might have died even sooner. "Sister Xinyue, isn't it better to leave this place together, to be companions? The universe is vast, and we don't know when we can return to the Zhan Shen Continent. It would be less lonely to have a companion, besides, I do indeed have long harbored admiration for Sister..." "Don't just speak with your mouth, if you truly admired me, why didn't you give me any Blossom God Crystal Stone? There were so many on the spaceship, you must have taken some, right?" Qi Xinyue interrupted Zuo Shanyi. Zuo Shanyi threw a cloth bag to Qi Xinyue, "Where can I say, Sister, what's mine is yours. Everything in here is Blossom God Crystal Stone, I'll give it to you." Qi Xinyue happily reached for the cloth bag when Zuo Shanyi's lips revealed a cold smile. With a step, he spread a large net, engulfing the space where Qi Xinyue was. (Many readers have requested more chapters; once I finish adding more for the Alliance Hierarch, I will add ten more chapters for all of you—currently I can't find another solution. I truly feel that such a mistake should not have occurred and I am ashamed, I apologize once again. And thank you everyone for your magnanimity!)
