Chapter 217: Deceiving
When Ling Yunxiao came out of the fasting room, the Masked Squad had been waiting at the door for a while. Whirlpool had been chatting with King Mask for a long time, so the whole team knew why Ling Yunxiao had called them over.
"This is the divine blood of your entire team. After consuming it, try to comprehend it carefully. With a bit of luck, it's not impossible to advance two realms."
Ling Yunxiao was familiar with everyone, even though these people were not familiar with him.
As everyone expressed their gratitude, Ling Yunxiao turned his gaze to the grateful [Spirit Medium] team beside him, and of course, to Wu Tongxuan, who was grinning broadly.
"Bu Li, there's no need to be so polite. Yunxiao is my brother, so you don't need to say anything more about your gratitude."
This time, Wu Tongxuan didn't ask for the divine blood. After all, he didn't know how much of it was left, but he was very clear that Ling Yunxiao was from the Masked One, so it was only natural to give the Masked One the best things first.
"Captain Bu Li, Old Wu is right, we are brothers. And now, our [Godslayer] team and your [Spirit Medium] team are also comrades-in-arms, so there's really no need to be so polite."
These are a few drops of divine blood. You and Sister Xiaohua should share them; each of you should take one drop first.
After handing over the divine blood he had reserved to Bu Li, Ling Yunxiao looked up at the King's face.
"Captain, you and the young prince should go to headquarters first and ask Zhang Ziliang for his opinion on what happened to you. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go to Dragon Vein Island first. The champion of the [Heroic Spirit] squad, Hou, and the others should be resurrected by now."
Ling Yunxiao smiled and waved goodbye to Wang Mian. Wang Ye shrugged, wondering when he had ever said he wanted to go to headquarters. However, he also knew that since Wang Mian had just returned from his disappearance, they naturally wouldn't dare let him act alone again.
Moreover, he didn't want to see Sima's face, which was identical to that of the Evil Emperor, again.
Wang Ye and Wang Mian walked into the headquarters together and soon arrived at Zhang Ziliang's office. The door was not closed, so the two walked straight in.
"Captain Wang! You're here for disaster relief again? No, Your Highness, you're here too!"
I am personally very grateful for your generosity; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hold onto my position as the head of the Operations Department so securely. Now, with the support of the three of you, and so many forbidden items to support the Night Watch warehouse and distribute rewards, my position as head of the Operations Department is even more secure than Ye Fan's!
Zhang Ziliang spoke cheerfully, and walked up to the two men with great enthusiasm. After inviting them to sit down, he hurriedly served them tea and water.
"..."
Wang Ye remained silent for a long time. The old fox's face was as infuriating as ever!
"Minister Zhang, we've encountered a particularly tricky situation, and we need someone with exceptional intelligence to help us analyze it. In my opinion, no one in the entire Great Xia Night Watch is smarter than you, so we've come specifically to ask for your help."
Wang Mian casually picked up his teacup and began to explain, then he saw Wang Ye's expression change.
The next second, the old fox who had been so attentive just moments before was now sitting back down at his desk, with some documents in his hand.
“You should have said you weren’t here for disaster relief, you had something to ask of me! I only have half a can of tea in this house.”
"Old fox, do you think that resurrecting you this time means you're in a winning situation, the kind where you can win even if you just lie down and let the dragon ride you right in the face? Even if you're too lazy to use your brain, look at the abilities of the three of us. Besides, this is Lin Qiye's world, and the Seven Gods are acting as Lin Qiye's agents, beings who have already reached a half-dimensional level."
"Even with the combined strength of the four of us, we still need the King's Face to restart. Do you still think now is the time for you to go on vacation?"
Wang Ye pressed his throbbing temples, trying to steer the situation in his favor.
"Young Prince, you jest. Not long before you came in, Ye Fan, Zuo Qing, and I were discussing the art of sword nurturing. With strength above the Boundless Realm, nurturing a human sword, and then using the Night Watchman Medal after the sword is complete, the strike would be at least half a step into the Supreme God level."
Afterwards, Bu Li will collect the corpses, and Ling Yunxiao will be resurrected.
They've already gone out to choose someone to nurture the sword. My body can no longer nurture the sword, but I couldn't stop Ye Fan and Zuo Qing.
We know perfectly well that in this world, we old folks might not even be considered supporting characters. The world belongs to you young people, but we'd rather be a sword, even if we can only be swung once, even if Bu Li can't bring back the body in time, even if all we can do is try to stop a chariot with our bare hands.
However, we will still do it fearlessly, so we already know the current situation, and you don't need to lecture us, Your Highness.
Zhang Ziliang's words silenced Wang Ye and Wang Mian. Among the Night Watchers of Great Xia, there were never any cowards who feared death. This sword-raising technique was even more widely and ruthlessly spread than Zhang Ziliang had spread back then.
Before the two could recover from their shock, Zhang Ziliang sighed softly and looked at them with a helpless expression.
"Sigh... What use are those forbidden items and treasures to me? I don't even leave my office. But I think that if the Night Watchers get the forbidden items, their survival rate will be higher, and the sword keeper won't have to hold back three-tenths of their strength in every battle. I passed down the sword-raising technique. If it weren't for Ling Yunxiao, I should have atoned with my death."
"Alright, stop talking. These are all the forbidden items and fruits I collected on Olympus. I'll keep two or three for myself, and you can have the rest, okay?"
"This is a divine fruit given to me by my master. It can restore me to full strength nine times when my spiritual power is exhausted. My master gave me three fruits, and I'm giving you one."
Upon hearing Wang Mian's words, Wang Ye turned around in shock. Before Zhang Ziliang could make a move, he had already instantly taken the fruit from Wang Mian and put it into his own pocket.
"Captain, you've really been fooled by that old fox's acting this time. In the entire Great Xia, it would be most cost-effective for our team to use this fruit. Giving it to Zhang Ziliang is a complete waste!"
"Yunxiao is in the team; he can restore all his status!"
Wang Mian was somewhat taken aback, wondering why Wang Ye was so possessive of his food.
"Then you should give it to me too. I can use it to trade with Lin Qiye for good stuff, the kind that our whole team can use. Old Fox really doesn't need something so precious."
"Indeed, the young prince was right this time."
Surprisingly, after accepting everything Wang Ye offered with a smile, Zhang Ziliang actually spoke up and said a good word for him.
Wang Mian nodded and stopped pursuing Wang Ye's case, instead looking at Zhang Ziliang.
"Alright, now you can tell me what it is that you two need to come to me."
"Well, this story begins a few days ago, when I left the capital and entered the mist..."
