Chapter 219: You Only Worry About Losing the Internet Connection
Ren Ruofeng asked, “I heard that the Association of Spirit Kings has an arcane realm that was coveted by Chen Tianxiao, who is now locked up inside it instead. Perhaps you could tell me the exact situation?”
During the two weeks Fang Ning was preparing to defeat Chen Tianxiao, he had already prepared his statements since he couldn’t simply lie. Otherwise, he would only be attacked verbally in a roundabout way.
Vigilante A spoke, “That doesn’t belong to the Association of Spirit Kings, it is an arcane realm that I discovered. The entrance is never in the same place twice. One has to pass a giant gate to enter the realm, and the gates can be dismantled and assembled anywhere. To develop the arcane realm, I had the gates temporarily situated at Spirit Valley and had asked them to help with buying various materials.”
Ren Ruofeng was dumbfounded at Vigilante A’s words. The title of a report he had read immediately appeared in his mind, “Vigilante A Breaks a Door and Leaves”…
He immediately asked, “But didn’t you obtain that after passing the entryway to the arena the first time you participated in the Dark Tournament?”
Vigilante A nodded his head, “That’s right, they bought the case and returned the pearl. They couldn’t recognize true treasure that’s was right under their noses, and was letting a gift go to waste. I felt that the spirit imprisoned into the gate was innocent, so I reclaimed the door to save it. It said that the gate was able to absorb external vitality and transfer to other divergent spaces. I felt that this was quite the peculiar ability, so after research I discovered that it really could access an arcane realm.”
Fang Ning wasn’t the type to make it up as he went, that would make it too easy to be exposed. He only spun tales based on facts.
Even the members of the Association of Spirit Kings and Achilles were bluffed by him, and they now have unwavering conviction in his words. After all, he had well-founded facts, and the fact that the Venerable Dragon God would never lie backing him up. The latter even thought that he had made great contributions and was full of himself; he would only read books every day and would never work anymore.
Fang Ning had only kept the most important detail a secret; the arcane realm was forged by Sir System using the rare and valuable soul of the Elite Nightmare Demon, who possessed the ability to create realms of its own, and ten million experience points. Without these materials, there would be no possible way to create an arcane realm.
Ren Ruofeng was full of envy, his saliva was already threatening to flow out of his mouth. He immediately complimented, “That arcane realm even possesses such a unique characteristic, it is practically a portable realm which countless benefits. Of course a Samaritan would be blessed by the heavens; as expected of the Venerable One to be able to receive this treasure. If it were anyone else without a heroic attitude, they would never save the harmless gate spirit and obtain such a treasure in return.”
He immediately thought to himself, (I can’t believe he possesses such a precious treasure. Thank god I built a good relationship with the Venerable Dragon God beforehand. If some special situation that required an emergency retreat were to suddenly happen, could you imagine just how convenient it would be? The gate can be set down anywhere and I could just start loading people in, then I could just dismantle it after I’m down. I still have no idea how big the arcane realm is yet, but holding a few hundred thousand people shouldn’t be a problem…)
Ren Ruofeng boasted an intellect of 99 points, so of course he would be able to come up with N+1 usages for the gate.
Fang Ning nodded his head and replied, “You flatter me. Captain Ren worries about the safety of China day and night, so I’m sure that the heavens view you pleasantly. You should have quite a number of blessings from the heavens too.”
Fang Ning thought, (Of course, if it were anybody else, they would never have the System’s sharp eyesight, and they would never ever do something as ridiculous as “breaking a door and leaving in broad daylight” either… Of course they would never be able to create an arcane realm after obtaining this door anyway.)
Hearing the words “blessings from the heavens”, Ren Ruofeng’s expression shifted and he could only laugh dryly. He was much too sensitive about that topic, other people should never find out about that matter.
He continued with another question, “I heard the Association of Spirit Kings is creating a new Spiritual Insects Clan, and that the leader is extremely powerful. I wonder if you could help me ask Bodhisattva Spirit King what are their aims in doing so?”
Fang Ning immediately answered, “This is simple, I’ll help you ask immediately so that none of you harbor suspicions against the other party, which would cause internal friction amongst the righteous parties.”
Ren Ruofeng didn’t know if he should laugh or cry; they were coming from different standpoints, so not second-guessing the other party was practically impossible. Not everyone was as naïve as Vigilante A… Lots of powers had their aims set high in the beginning, yet they would still walk a twisted path in the end…
Fang Ning found Zhu Hongying’s Wechat and immediately texted her to ask.
It was obvious that the Association of Spirit Kings were on high alert towards the Venerable Dragon God for the reply came immediately.
It read, “Greetings, Venerable One. If somebody else had asked, we would have kept quiet. However, since it was you that questioned, it would be bad if we didn’t answer. The Spiritual Insects Clan plays an important role. Bodhisattva felt that compassion for his worshippers who would have nowhere to go after death, which was he decided to create the Spirit Summoning Barrier and reformed the Spiritual Insects Clan so that all spirits under the sky could reincarnate as Spiritual Insects, which would give them a new home after death so that they won’t cause trouble and harm the innocent.”
After listening to the explanation, Ren Ruofeng remained silent for a long time. It was no wonder they did not want to be frank with the Truth Department; this matter involved too many parties. Even he didn’t know how to speak on it…
Ren Ruofeng pondered on things briefly before he nodded his head, “If that’s the case, then we’ll only monitor things and observe the outcomes for now. We won’t interfere with anything. However, if they commit any evil deeds, then don’t blame us if we get angry and decide to bring them to justice.”
Fang Ning understood where Ren Ruofeng was coming from and immediately continued, “Bodhisattva Spirit King is stands for righteousness, so I’m sure his aims are no way false. However, his subordinates may not share the same thoughts. I’m worried that they’ll have a change of heart after spending too much time with spirits, so they need to be under constant surveillance. I will personally observe them as well.”
Ren Ruofeng thought about it for a second, (That seems about right. With such a powerful presence around, they wouldn’t even dare think about going down the wrong path.) He relaxed slightly; finally done with discussion on matters with work, he finally spoke on his personal matters.
“Thank you for the trouble, Venerable One. By the way, would you still have that Face Rejuvenating Pill? Some old friends of mine have asked me to help them purchase some…”
Fang Ning would of course never reject such a request. Ren Ruofeng’s old friends were definitely VIPs, he would stand to earn a lot from them.
He immediately answered, “I’ve had Butler Zheng manage an online shop that runs under Harmony Powers Ltd. The website is…”
…
After separating from Ren Ruofeng, time hastily rushed by and April arrived in the blink of an eye, bringing with it slightly warmer weather. Various flowers were in bloom, trees started turning green again and the chirping of birds could be heard in the area around Qi City.
During the time that had passed, the Truth Department had sent their people, along with Vigilante A, to pay the Land of Heritage a visit. Their purpose was to replant the raw medicinal materials that had been uprooted during the battle. Both parties had also agreed on the splitting of the harvests.
However, nobody said anything about that precious Ginseng Sprite that had been taken by Sir System as reimbursement previously.
Unfortunately, the arcane realm hadn’t been reconstructed yet, so the Ginseng Sprite had no choice but to remain in the Preservation Area…
Late at night one day, Fang Ning was bravely reading a horror mystery novel. It was written really well and really pulled the reader into the story.
As Fang Ning was drawn deeper into the book, Sir System suddenly said, “Mr. Rich Boss, borrow me some money…”
It had spoken in a miserable and resentful tone, causing Fang Ning to almost burrow into the blacksmith’s forge in fear.
Fang Ning fumed, “Sh*t, couldn’t you have asked in a more normal way? And you’re asking for money again? Didn’t you deposit a lot of money recently?”
