Chapter 452: Layers of Conspiracy
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsFang Xingjian’s body flickered once again, and he reappeared in the hall of the Ice Palace’s base. Looking at the Saint and Great Priestess, he tossed the man in black to the ground and said, “I’ve already dealt with the people who came barging into the Ice Palace’s base. You guys can interrogate him. See if you can get anything out from him.”
Right now, the man in black was completely filled with terror. He had seen how wild Knights, who were about his level or even stronger than himself, had been killed by Fang Xingjian as if he had been tearing apart toys. So, how could the black-clothed man not feel terrified?
Currently, to him, Fang Xingjian was already an extremely terrifying existence who could be on par with the Illumination Society and the Eternal Night Society.
Fang Xingjian turned his head. Looking toward the distance, he said calmly, “Their people are all together right now. Since that’s the case, I’ll take this opportunity to wipe them all out.”
With that, Fang Xingjian stepped forth and moved in flashes of light. With each flash of light, he would appear several kilometers away as he dashed toward the foot of the mountain with strong gales blowing.
The Great Priestess looked toward the man in black, whose face was filled with terror and body was covered in serious injuries all over. Then she asked, “Is there anything you want to say?”
“Say?” The man in black immediately said, “I’ll talk, I’ll say everything. It’s the Black Wings. The Black Wings informed me to come over and even said that they’ll provide support from the outside. It’s because of this that I came over like I was possessed. Who could have expected that the Vicious Knight is so powerful? With his abilities and cultivation, there’ll definitely be a place for the Ice Palace in the Great Western Region in the future.”
He looked at the Great Priestess respectfully and said, “Please allow me to join the Ice Palace and to swear my service to Lord Vicious Knight.”
The Great Priestess and the Saint exchanged a glance in surprise. To think that the expert who had almost killed them instantly was now begging for forgiveness so easily. What on earth had he seen?
The Great Priestess went up and punched out toward the black-clothed man who no longer had any ability to resist. Layers of cold air directly froze over him. In the blink of an eye, the cold air turned into an ice coffin which encompassed the black-clothed man.
She then called for her subordinates, “Keep him on watch and reinforce the cold air. With his current situation, he’ll definitely be unable to escape.”
The Saint could not help but ask, “Master, where are you going?”
“I’m going after Fang Xingjian.” As the Great Priestess spoke, her eyes were already filled with longing. “A battle between top notch experts in the Great Western Region… What a glorious and resplendent battle it would be! How could I possibly miss it?!”
…
Ever since Fang Xingjian had exposed his dimensional storage equipment in the market, in merely less than two days, countless wild Knights had come here to participate in the martial arts gathering on the Dark Shadow Mountain.
After the first group of people took action tonight, more and more people followed their lead. It was as if a powder keg had been lit up.
To begin with, the dimensional storage equipment was a strategic battle equipments, and countless people coveted after it.
Furthermore, with majority of the Great Western Region’s experts from various factions gathering here, there were even more people with strong feuds. At the beginning, everything seemed fine since there were the three great factions suppressing down. Yet after the Black Wings took action abruptly and the three great factions also drew their weapons against each other for the dimensional storage equipment, the entire Dark Shadow Mountain became a state of chaos.
However, most of the people ran toward the Ice Palace’s base. Therefore, more and more people were gathering at the foot of the base.
Just then, at the highest peak of the Dark Shadow Mountain, Heavenly Shadow Peak, an one-eyed old man was looking down at the foot of the mountain where sparks were soaring and killing intents were seething. He broke into a cold smile.
Beside him, a middle-aged man stood quietly. The man was dressed in snow-white clothes, and even his hair, eyes, and lips were white. He looked just like a ghost. If there were disciples from The School of Sword Arts here, they would definitely get a shock. It was because this man dressed in clothes which were white as snow was actually The School of Sword Arts’s Supreme Chief, a man situated at the pinnacle of sword arts in the Empire.
Additionally, the person standing behind the two of them was Peter, from Great Western Region’s Regional Academy. He was the subordinate of Hildebrand, who had gone into hiding.
He was also the Conferred Knight whom Fang Xingjian wanted to find this time around.
The one-eyed old man said, “Supreme Chief, what do you think of this? For him to be wiping out the many factions in the Great Western Region this time around… Fang Xingjian has really helped us a lot.”
The Supreme Chief did not say a word, but Peter grinned and said, “That Fang Xingjian thought that he was being very discreet, but he hasn’t expected that his subordinates’ information channel was already exposed to us.
