“The treasure map?” Ordell (Xia Xin Yan) was taken aback as she stared at the women before her. She looked at her for a moment and suddenly pulled out other half of the dark yellow treasure map, and directly placed it on the table on the side.
She spoke lightly, “Half of the treasure map is right here. Emerald, if you’re straightforward enough, then let’s just cut to the chase. We can immediately combine the two pieces of the map and once we know where the Gate of Heaven is at, we can start moving immediately. Let’s not waste everyone’s time! Right now, everyone has their eyes on the Dunn (Mo) family. We can take the opportunity to explore the Gate of Heaven. How’s that?”
“You don’t doubt the authenticity of my words and think that this is a trap?”
“There is no use lying, I would know after we combine our maps. As for any scheme, obviously you have some scheme but it doesn’t matter, you saved me and seem trustworthy enough and even if something goes wrong, I have means to protect myself.”
“Truly an extraordinary person you are, my lady.”.
“Thank you for your compliment, now shall we proceed.”
Ordell was a little aggressive, she didn’t give a damn about person before her and the master behind her. Her motives were clear; she came for the other half of the treasure map!
Emerald expression remained neutral as she stayed still and thought for a short moment, finally she shook her head and said, “The other half of the map is not in my hands.”
“Then whose hands is it in?” Ordell’s eyes dimmed.
“It’s on my master.”
“Then I have nothing to discuss with you, Bring him to meet me in Misty Pavilion.” Ordell took the half piece of the map from the table. She walked ahead and said, “I will be leaving now.”
“There is no need, this is a simple transaction. We have gotten our hands on the map but it would be better off selling it for immediate profits. As long as you see through to the list of our demands, the treasure map would be handed over to the Misty Pavilion.”
“Oh, I see.” Ordell steps halted as she looked at Emerald as her eyes grew cold, “Then your so-called master should be a weakling not belonging to the five influential family, someone not daring enough to vye for a greater prize, and if that is so, I can just pry open your mouth to know his identify and snatch the map away.”
“As you see fit.”
Ordell kept her eye locked on her and released a suffocating pressure, which caused Emerald to shake but her expression didn’t falter.
“With people like you under him, your master seem to be quite capable and also good at hiding his tracks. Good then, I would see through to your arrangements and you shall do to mine.”
Ordell thought for a while, and finding the way outside and exited.
On the street, her figure flashed for a few seconds, then disappeared without a trace.
….
Soon, the list of demands made by Leylin were met as lots of secret shipment loaded with various treasures, marital skill, ancient artifact, old scripture, manuals, etc were sent to him along with all the warriors targets demanded by him, a total of 15 Disaster and 5 Earth Realm Warriors.
Although the task was very risky and difficult but during these turbulent times, it was an ultimate opportunity to make moves in the dark. The Misty Pavilion has a remarkable force under their hand and with the provided assistance of their spies and targeted warriors of weaker realm they were swiftly apprehended and handed over to the designated location given by Leylin.
In return, the Misty Pavilion got the second half of the treasure map and hence, the transaction was competed, Ordell thought that her mysterious partner would want to at least know of the location of the Gate of Heaven but, opposite to her expectations Emerald handed over the map and immediately retreated without any interest.
Leylin completed the transaction without any falsehood and handed over the genuine map, and this is because he doesn’t even need the map in the first place. He knows that the location of the Gate of Heaven is Dead Swamp, Yin Valley which is the home to Nine-headed Sky Snake.
Nine-headed Sky Snake is a Level 7 demon beast equal to a Sky Realm warrior but it’s prowess is comparable to three normal Sky Realm demon beast.
Leylin has no means to taking that monstrosity out of the equation and he doesn’t need to either. He can simply borrow other powers for this purpose.
Since Leylin knew about the location of the Gate of Heaven, similarly to how he made transaction with Misty Pavilion, he also made some arrangements with others as well.
Leylin wants to add more and more chaos to the upcoming death fiesta, Leylin knows that Ordell herself don’t have the ability to take care of the obstacles her way and adding more parties in the fray would only increase the conflict and gore and that’s exactly what Leylin desires, with the worth of the Gate of Heaven, no family or organization would send half baked warriors.
Leylin sold the information about the location to the Ashdown (Zuo) and even the Lenoir (Shi) family, all the while spreading the various rumours to add fuel to the fire and dragging the only uninvolved Delaney’s (Ling) through the medium of Mary.
Before making arrangements with Ordell and contacting others, Leylin used his long established pawn, who goes by the name of Mary Dunn.
Mary who was under his mental control which he established back in the Dark Forest and reinforced in the Martial Competition proved worthy as Leylin used her to leak news that Dunn family had truly possessed the map and she carried it, the reason being she was apprehended and kidnapped by Delaney family.
With this news the situation became more volatile as it became easier for the different family later on to kidnap various warriors to send Leylin way.
Leylin thoroughly disturbed the motion of the four families except for the now, closed and retreated Dunn in an act to get more benefits and obviously more Profound Qi to get stronger.
His purpose for this human trafficking is obviously to conduct some experiments about the physical structure of Disaster and Earth realm warriors to learn from them and establish a more firm and solid foundation. Obviously he also got to study various Martial Skills up close and experiment on them.
Last but not the least to use them for increasing his cultivation level, killing them mercilessly. With the audacious and heinous torture they went through, it was more of a mercy to get a swift death.
Increasing strength is always Leylin priority as he knows he can’t go wrong being stronger and stronger but he can’t rush into another realm without properly studying and understanding the changes in his body, his accumulation of Martial Skills and study of Martial Spirit have been rather fruitful, his different Martial Spirit have been strengthen largely with his advancement into Third Level of Petrification Martial Spirit, Green Level which provides stronger Defensive Power, Weapons could hardly penetrate one’s body, and at the same time, one’s body would be agile and flexible.
Leylin also have Dragon Turtle Armor for defensive power, currently even his Petrification Martial Spirit alos provide enough defensive prowess to be impenetrable by Earth Realm and only Nirvana Rank Warriors can injure him.
Leylin still has apprehension towards Nirvana and more importantly the Sky realm warriors hence he wants to breakthrough to Earth Realm as he takes one whole month to deter everyone in the meantime.
Only thinking of the various experts of higher level dying fills Leylin with intense excitement. So many experts engaged in a blood bath, the death of this many and their Profound Qi would definitely boost him to greater heights.
…
Inside a Stone building, Lenoir Family
Leylin was sitting in his room silently tapping on the chair he was reclining on as he kept his eyes closed.
‘Killing more people from different family are becoming harder, almost all my targets are exhausted now. As for the rest, they are either well protected or above our skill set.’
Leylin had named multiple Disaster and Earth Realm warriors from the Misty Pavillion and various other families in exchange of the of the other half of the map and also sold the location of the God Area to Ashdown and Lenoir Family separately to earn more martial skills, treasure, technique and more fresh sacrifice for himself.
He didn’t bothered to contact Crystal Family because they are keeping a close eyes on all gates of the Merchant Union and would know as soon as the other families make their move. Not to mention the possibility of them contacting Lord of the Dark World from Fire Empire who’s a Sky Realm Warriors and would be bringing the Mistress as well, along with Ben Parks (Chi Xiao) , the Sky Realm master of Neelam Ashdown (Zuo Shi), it would be very very interesting.
Just like this Leylin has been successful in secretly converging everyone in a slaughter house all the while racking up sacrifice for himself.
“So much interesting it’s going to be, After this affairs I can possibly reach Nirvana Realm. And my fighting ability would not be weaker than Sky Realm warriors. Not to mention the Shura King who would be here by then and whose power I can borrow for more destruction and my benefits in the name of revenge and hatred for families. With that much power I can easy move to Endless Sea without any concern and explore the Grace Mainland more thoroughly… Soon my knowledge of this world would be exhausted, better get the best of what I can till then.”
