Chapter 186 New Guest Wang Chao
Xu Qing felt the activity of the cells in her body and nodded:
"They've actually developed a pretty good cultivation system."
A ninth-order cosmic-level being possesses such powerful immortality that it is almost unmatched even by plant life forms like the Cloud Vine, which is known for its cellular activity.
Of course, this was only better than nothing for me.
"Let's take advantage of the new customer's luck and see if we can invite another customer I know."
Xu Qing smiled, and with a flick of his finger, another thread of the Heavenly Decree flew out and fell into the sea of light.
A moment later, the surface of the Heavenly Decree flickered with a faint light, and lines of guest messages slowly appeared:
Guest: Wang Chao
[World of Origin: Dragon and Serpent Chronicles - Prison Cage - Chaos]
Material world
-Three-dimensional universe
[Strength: Tier 1, Ordinary]
[Items available for purchase: "The True Records of Chinese Martial Arts", at the Transformation Realm...]
Xu Qing looked at the message, his eyes gleaming: "It seems I've really struck gold!"
It is another world that is far more powerful than the Infinite Chaos Space.
Moreover, not only is the upper limit higher, but the resources are also unimaginably abundant!
The world of "Dragon and Snake Romance", Liangshan.
Chen Aiyang and Wang Chao, who had traveled more than 800 li in a day and a night by human power, were sitting under the stone wall with the four large characters "Shuibo Liangshan" carved on it.
The sound of rustling reeds drifts from the lakes below the mountain, as the autumn and winter winds swirl large clumps of reed flowers across the water. Under the bright moonlight, a desolate atmosphere pervades the scene.
Wang Chao's heart was still pounding, and there was even a lingering coolness on his fingertips.
But this coolness was not caused by excessive fatigue.
The conversation from just a few minutes ago was still vividly etched in Wang Chao's mind.
Just as Wang Chao sat down with Chen Aiyang, the other man suddenly stopped smiling and bluntly told him that although he was famous, he had made too many enemies and didn't have any close friends in the country. He was very shallow and would be retaliated against sooner or later. He advised him to withdraw as soon as possible in order to protect himself.
He gazed at the bright moon in the sky, feeling helpless. He knew that if things continued this way, he would suffer sooner or later, but he was already too deeply involved and couldn't get out.
How could he not know that Cao Yi, Commander Zhou, and the organization only valued his martial arts skills and influence? No one was truly willing to take risks for him.
Take Duan Guochao, for example. He had the support of Shaolin Temple, but he was still killed without warning. People like him are all show and no substance.
But Chen Aiyang's next words made Wang Chao tighten his grip instantly: "We are sworn brothers. If one day we have to fight to the death, what will you do?"
Wang Chao instinctively wanted to retort, "How could that be?", but as soon as the words were on the tip of his tongue, his heart suddenly started racing.
He knew that the Chen Group had been involved in many illegal businesses and had long been under surveillance by higher authorities.
Dealing with Chen Aiyang through open arena combat is far more "fair and aboveboard" than assassination.
He could even sense that such an order might not be far off.
But what if Wang Chao refuses? Wang Chao's current stability depends entirely on following orders: if he's told to kill Ye Xuan, he does; if he's told to teach Duan Guochao a lesson, he...
He didn't mince words either.
If he disobeys, the organization will expel him, and those who are waiting to take revenge on him will not let him go. Just like Zhao Jun back then, who dared to send a machete squad to ambush him for a trivial matter involving Zhu Jia. Thinking about these things, Wang Chao fell silent.
Looking at the silent Wang Chao, Chen Aiyang spoke up:
"There will always be a Liangshan Marsh to accommodate those who have been forced into a corner."
Chen Aiyang took out a small brocade box from his clothes and handed it to Wang Chao.
"I came to Shandong this time on someone's behalf to give you something."
Wang Chao looked at the small brocade box that Chen Aiyang handed him with a puzzled expression. The box looked just like a regular box for holding rings.
He took it; it was very light. He opened it, and suddenly, Wang Chao was stunned! A huge wave of emotion surged within him, like the turbulent waves of the ocean.
Inside the box were coils of gold thread, like gold thread wrapped around a finger.
Wang Chao recognized these golden threads as the golden needles that Tang Zichen had wrapped around his fingers back then!
"you--..-..-..-"
.
Wang Chao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Don't ask me, I don't know the details either. But judging from your appearance, you obviously recognize this golden needle."
Seeing that Wang Chao wanted to ask, Chen Aiyang shook his head first: "The person who gave me this needle was a Hongmen boxing master. He gave it to me on behalf of someone else."
Along with the real needle, a message was also sent: "If you are ever forced into a corner, go to the World Hongmen General Association in Honolulu, USA. There, you will find all the clues you need."
"Honolulu, World Hongmen General Association," Wang Chao took out the golden needle, wrapped it around his right index finger, and put the box away.
"I understand. Let's go back."
Wang Chao had long known that his status in the country and his promotion by the organization were partly due to his talent, exceptional skills, and great influence, but mostly due to Tang Zichen.
His martial arts skills had become incredibly versatile and unpredictable. Countless life-and-death trials had also elevated his sensitivity and perception to their peak. He was as calm as still water, a young master who could do as he pleased without overstepping the bounds.
The day I saw Tang Zichen again was the day I was completely assigned tasks to my superiors.
The military rank between them is just an extra layer of protection. The same goes for assets and status.
"My sister's identity is too mysterious. The higher-ups went to such great lengths to train me just for this one clue."
But what if you refuse the organization?
Wang Chao dared not think about it.
That's practically equivalent to a rebel organization.
Although he had reached the level of a grandmaster in martial arts, achieving a level of mastery that was almost divine, wasn't it the same old Master Cheng Tinghua who was shot to death by dozens of guns?
In the face of a nation, a modern nation, the power of any individual is insignificant.
Is that so? Suddenly, Wang Chao stopped and frowned.
Suddenly, a transparent panel, as clear as glass, appeared before them.
Several words were engraved on it:
[Zhutian Pavilion invites you to become a customer. Would you like to enter and browse the products to purchase your desired item?]
Wang Chao's first thought was that he was too tired, and Chen Aiyang's words had triggered him, causing him to hallucinate.
But he immediately dismissed the idea.
Having reached the level of mastery, he possesses heightened mental sensitivity. Even in his sleep, if someone were to snipe him from a kilometer away, he could sense all sorts of killing intent and hostility and wake up immediately. His intuition is ten or a hundred times stronger than that of the most powerful beast. How could he possibly be hallucinating?
Could it be that scenes from fantasy novels are appearing before his eyes?
"That's interesting."
Wang Chao squinted. Although a supernatural force appeared in front of him, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was the burning passion of a dying person seeing the road ahead.
He accepted the invitation.
In just a moment, the original Liangshan Marsh was transformed into an antique-style pavilion.
