Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1175 - 434: Divine Intent Touch Death Blade

"Your current status makes it impossible to gain his trust. Half a day ago, you revealed a major flaw in front of him. Continuing to hide is pointless, why waste the time?"

"How is it a waste of time? At the very least, I can get close to him, monitor Chu Xisheng’s whereabouts, and learn the Iron Banner Gang’s movements."

Feng Liancheng’s lips curled slightly, his hand resting on his sword, thumb caressing the hilt: "Think from another angle, he clearly saw through my identity, yet why didn’t he expose it? What is his purpose for keeping us around?"

"You mean~"

Falling Leaves Human Head fell into contemplation, gradually showing a look of surprise: "Is he perhaps trying to recruit you?"

"As ridiculous as it sounds, that seems to be the only possibility."

Feng Liancheng’s words carried sarcasm: "So I don’t need to worry at all; Chu Xisheng surely knows there’s something fishy about us and will be on guard, but there’s no way he knows where I’m from or my purpose."

"Just as you said." Falling Leaves Human Head mused, "Is that the reason you had the organization create a second identity for you?"

Feng Liancheng held his hands behind his back, speaking leisurely: "This Infinite Blade Lord is very clever and very confident, extremely confident. We might as well go along with it, following his intentions. I’ll wait for an opportune moment to reveal this identity to him.

We can also take advantage of the situation. The Iron Banner Gang has gathered so many experts, surely they won’t stay rooted in East State? They will eventually expand westward, and once they start expanding, the Iron Banner Gang will inevitably meet strong enemies and have to rely on me."

Falling Leaves Human Head squinted: "Your plan is feasible. A person like him certainly has unwavering confidence in his own judgment. However, Tianzhu, your current status intrigues me more; from your tone, you sound quite motivated?"

Feng Liancheng’s lips curled even more, his eyes filled with increasing sarcasm. He said leisurely: "I indeed find him interesting now and want to see how he plans to recruit me. I also want to try the feeling of personally burying this peerless Heavenly Pride."

"So that’s it." Falling Leaves Human Head’s tone carried reassurance: "It’s great that you’re thinking this way, Tianzhu. I was worried you might be impatient with this task. Honestly, within Rebirth Heaven, there truly isn’t anyone more suitable than you as the ’Death God’.

You’ve even opened an incense hall with Chu Xisheng and sworn a blood oath. As the saying goes, don’t trouble two masters with one matter. As long as you still have leeway on this side, the organization won’t consider letting a second Death God get marked by the ’Two Books of Precepts’—"

His voice abruptly stopped, and at that moment, the falling leaves lost their floating power, scattering on the ground.

Feng Liancheng let out an unhappy cold snort.

His partner, though a powerful sorcerer, was overly cautious and careful.

Feng Liancheng then raised a hand to catch a token shot from the direction of the main courtyard of the mansion.

He focused his mind sensing it, then a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The token came from Chu Xisheng, commanding him to immediately go to the southern Guangling County, representing the Punishment Hall to investigate the Guangling Pan family for oppressing lower-level gang members and allowing their progeny to commit crimes under the Iron Banner Gang’s name for two cases.

At the same time, he had to pressure the Pan family to pay their dues.

According to the Iron Banner Gang’s rules, all businesses and industries managed by gang members must pay a ten percent share.

Feng Liancheng couldn’t help but chuckle, grinding the token into dust.

The Guangling Pan family was the premier aristocratic clan in Guangling County.

This Infinite Blade Lord really treated him as a subordinate, daring to assign such a critical task for him to handle.

But this matter suited him perfectly!

Wang’an City, Chu Family’s Xishan Hot Spring Resort’s Star Gazing Platform.

Chu Shentong slowly stopped practicing the ’Innate Star Constellation Skill’ he was training, also withdrawing his large amount of True Yuan from the star disk-shaped magic artifact in front of him.

When he opened his eyes, he found a woman with a pretty face, adorned with jewels and finery, and a noble grace standing outside the Star Platform, smiling at him: "How do you feel now, Shentong?"

That was none other than Chu Shentong’s mother, the current emperor’s sister, Longyang Princess.

Her voice carried a hint of concern as well as expectation.

"Truly worthy of being the Chu family’s Divine Artifact!"

Chu Shentong looked at the star disk before him with boundless joy.

This star disk was about two feet in diameter, marked with the Two Forms, Four Symbols, Six Yaos and Eight Diagrams, as well as Zhou Tian Stars. The whole disk was black, yet emitted a starry white radiance.

"One night of insight tonight equates to ten days of normal practice. I feel that in just a few days, I’ll be able to comprehend the Fifteen Layers of Ten Thousand Forms Sword Intent from it. But most importantly, this thing can even let me bypass the All Heavens Secret Ceremony from the Third Grade to Second Grade tier. It’s just a shame—"

Chu Shentong sighed slightly, his voice inclining towards regret: "It’s a shame I can’t truly refine it, and while using it to aid my practice, I still have to endure the backlash."

As Chu Shentong spoke, a trace of blood suddenly appeared from the corner of his mouth.

"You!" Longyang Princess’s brows furrowed deeply: "I told you not to push yourself. Haven’t you seen what happened to your father, being backlashed by these two Divine Artifacts?"

"With a Divine Artifact in hand, how could I resist?"

Chu Shentong caressed the star disk in front of him: "It’s just unfortunate that I don’t have a suitable opponent now, otherwise I’d really like to test the power of this First Grade Divine Treasure!"
