Book 14 - Chapter 4 – Co in with Ferocious Momentum (1/2)
Book 14 Chapter 4 – Co shi+chong asked, “Didn’t the Jade Annulus of He Clan fall into your hands?”
And thus with that question Kou Zhong knew for sure that there was so Nian Chanyuan that sent infor Because he knew that the Jade Annulus of He Clan has been stolen, hence he was surprised that the one stole the jade treasure was not Kou Zhong
This ht’s heist at a clear strea, and po back into the city
The guards at the gate were all wang shi+chong’sand ‘invited’ hi and Ba Fenghan parted ways as well The former went out on so to fish for information
Inside the secret cha wryly as he sat doith a sigh he said, “I don’t want to talk about it! We did touch the bell tower of the Monastery, ould have thought that baldhead Liao Kong detected our presence and mobilized several hundred to chant salvation prayers for us? Without any choice we had to sound out the difficulties and retreat to avoid defeat”
wang shi+chong’s eyes flashed with cold rays After glaring at him for a moment, he asked in astonishment, “Let’s not talk about the Jade Annulus of He Clan first, how come your countenance and your eyes look a bit different than before?”
Kou Zhong stretched out his lience’, also ‘a the Jing Nian Chanyuan, we had nothing to do, so ent to a mountaintop nearby and used our true qi to open up each other’sand duke] is able to see it, it shows that our training method is really effective”
This was the alibi that the three fabricated Lies hidden within the truth, and truth contained within the lies Even so would find it hard to differentiate true or bogus
Kou Zhong then frowned and said, “Listening to the tone of wanggong’s voice, it looks like the Jade Annulus of He Clan has been stolen This is not possible First, Jing Nian Chanyuan is like the I a needle from the sea Second, everybody in the Monastery has superioris evendeploy a large ar at the botto into the front gate of the Te was slient for half a day Finally he sighed and spoke dejectedly, “It’s useless even if I believed you Just now Jing Nian Chanyuan sent a ht before the Zi hour [11pm – 1am] you are to return the Jade Annulus of He Clan to the Monastery Otherwise they won’t spare any effort to get the Jade Annulus of He Clan back from you Under this circumstance, even I will be helpless to protect you”
Kou Zhong suddenly flew into a rage, “This is preposterous! Even if they killed host jade annulus to them”
The last sentence was an absolute truth
But by saying that, wang shi+chong overthrew Kou Zhong’s conjecture earlier that he had ahi said, “Liao Kong has never paid any attention to the affairs of the world, but this tinited As chance has it, just before the treasure is stolen, you happened to come over there, hence even if you jump into the Yellow River, it will be difficult to wash the suspicion from you It would be best if the three of you lie low until the intensity of the fire dies down I really do not wish to stand face to face with Jing Nian Chanyuan, Ci Hang Jing Zhai, soDaoqi, as the ene as not having enough yiqi [spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice/code of brotherhood], but on the surface he put on an understanding expression as he said, “wanggong, set your heart at ease I will definitely not put you on the spot Hey! Ahed and said, “I know you h friendshi+p, but under current situation, I really cannot divide my attention to deal with such a for to do with the Jade Annulus of He Clan theft, naturally I will have the ‘as the water receded, the rocks appear’ opportunity”
Kou Zhong knew he did not believe the story concocted by the three of the, fear? Even his , if they insist on accusing ly, let the out his hand, wang shi+chong pressed it down on Kou Zhong’s shoulders
Kou Zhong thought he wanted to plot against him or perhaps take this opportunity to do a body search Startled, the true qi within his body reacted naturally, in an instant his entire body was filled with true qi, in term of speed, it was at least double the previous speed, one of which bore through the jianjing acupoint on his shoulder and went straight into wang shi+chong’s pal’s pal’s shoulder, it was jolted out “What are you doing?” he cried out in fear
Fortunately wang shi+chong’s internal energy cultivation was quite deep, otherwise he would have been hurt
It was only then did Kou Zhong realize that he hadof an excuse, he said, “Reporting to wanggong: the skill I learned fro Life’ oftenti circulated his inner power to neutralize the vortex of qi invading his body With a strange expression on his face, he said, “Your power is a lot uan Long was defeated under your hands I forgot to ask you: after you caught hi dejectedly said, “Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan personally made her move; she intercepted us and snatched that felloay fro asked, “Zhu Yuyan?”
This ti’s rueful smile was real; he said, “If not her, who else? Who else would be able to snatch the fatty ht: in the duel between Qu Ao and Fu Qian, on and who lost?”
After staring wide-eyed at hi revealed a hard-to-believe expression as he shook his head and said, “Since Zhu Yuyan already made herlives?”
Letting out a cold snort, Kou Zhong’s eyes flashed spirited light, which was several times more intense than previously He spoke heavily, “It all depends on the contest of true ability I ad one-on-one, I definitely am not her match, but with the coainst us wanggong still has not repliedexhaled and said, “Do you know that when you got angry just now your eyes lit up with strange rays of light like the flickering stars in the sky? That is the innate true qi of the ‘Man and Heaven touching each other’ real’ Although I have olden rays like that can’t be more than five people No wonder Zhu Yuyan is unable to deal with you”
Inwardly Kou Zhong was delighted, but he was also afraid to raise his suspicion again, hence he giggled and said, “wanggong praised me too much! How could I be that for Life’ is unusual; the beginning is indeed ‘Man and Heaven touching each other’, but I have not really reached the level of et to ask you: is there any u Clan on the other side? Didn’t you say you have the Palace City heavily besieged? How co to and fro freely in Man Qing Yuan?”
wang shi+chong said, “Do you re Jiao? Not only she is beautiful and her , an expert in reconnaissance and intelligence about the enee of her cold-as-ice-and-frost, aloof and thousand-li-distant, yet bri appearance i, he said, “My ood”
wang shi+chong laughed and said, “Men should be like that There’s no harht to scout inforu Clan, froh-spirit, full in confidence As soon as I heard it, I knew so [su up his sleeve, hence he could be this cale the Palace City After so Daoren [Taoist Priest] and Chen Zhanglin unanireed: Our battle line has been stretched too thin If the enemy attack, it would be hard for us to look after both the head and the tail Therefore, ill concentrate our forces inside the Ients inside the Palace City In this e can advance to attack and retreat to defend; in terms of military tactic, this is a lotinwardly thought that this ‘Beautiful Barbarian Lady’ was indeed a rare talent; unexpectedly she was able to deduce the situation based on the other side’s deht is very accurate Infor so [old i here”
wang shi+chong’s countenance changed, “When did you obtain that infor persuade hi cal said, “Naturally Dugu Feng does not have that ability But Li Mi has a close relationshi+p with Huang Gongcuo It is also possible that the Nanhai Pai wants to expand their influence to the north The lad’s passion ether fro and old woman You, the two combined equal to nearly two hundred years of power, they are really not easy to deal with”
wang shi+chong rose up to his full height He said, “This is no small matter, I must deal with it i on”
Kou Zhong already understood his selfish personality Leaving aside his question earlier about the outcome of Fu Qian vs Qu Ao’s decisive battle, he i out of the strictly guarded Shangshu Mansion, Dong Shuni’s cute voice called out fro! Where the hell have you been these past two days?”

The restaurant was crowded as usual, the atmosphere was very lively, withhu people from all over the country
Those who stared at him looked surprised, and then they whispered to each other There were even so knew that it ht he revealed his skill, so that he became an instant ‘celebrity’
Especially since they dared to stand up openly against Li Mi, Yin Gui Pai, Qu Ao, and other major powers, hence nobody dared to belittle the’s Shangguan Long’s real identity, and even captured hi their real skill This matter was related to the rise and fall of the Wulin world of Luoyang; it would be strange indeed if it did not create quite a sensation all over the city
All these factors added together, overnight, the three ures
“Turns out it is Xu Ye; is Kou Ye going to come later on? Shall Xiaoren take you to the VIP rooreeted them yesterday It was unclear whether he had heard the rumor, but his manner was a lot more reverent and respectful, almost with trepidation, co actually wanted to find a quiet place where he could spend time with himself The purpose of his fictitious errand this ti inwardly, he said, “I a alone, and I think the main hall will be a bitwill be as Xu Ye wishes; I’ll find a table for Xu Ye right away”
