1982 Operation About to Begin!
“Jie, even if Sky Creation has a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master, they won’t be able to compete with Truth a.s.sociation. Later, go and properly host the experts from the Truth a.s.sociation. If Sky Creation doesn’t help the Su family to attack us, we can still get to know them after the storm blows over.”
Once Yang Sijie was done speaking, Yang Hanxian turned and walked into the hall.
Yang Sijie looked up at the moon. Wispy clouds slowly floated across the inky sky, making the full moon appear like a crescent.
Yang Sijie could be certain that his father did not use to be like this.
When the Truth a.s.sociation first came to the Divine Wood Federation and connected with the imperial court, his father had been extremely standoffish.
But ever since that night when his father had fallen seriously ill, his att.i.tude toward the Truth a.s.sociation changed completely!
Yang Sijie sighed, and he suddenly saw no point in trying to argue. Eventually, he would still end up as a puppet.
…
Inside the Su family’s meeting room, two elders with liver spot-covered skin sat side by side at the head of the table while Su Jian, Su Jun, and Su Han took the seats beside them.
Su Jun and Su Jian sat on their left while Su Han sat on their right.
The rest of the over 60 of the Su family’s experts and main members, such as Su Wenliang, did not have the authority to attend this meeting, even though he had been promoted to steward.
Right after Su Han took his seat, he felt the pressure akin to the weight of thousands of mountains pressing down on him.
He did not expect his great-grandfather to begin a secret meeting while he was representing the Su family at the Crown Wood Banquet.
His great-grandfather had even issued the order that they would make their move once the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm opened.
At that time, he would not be able to bring up any new discoveries or guesses he had for fear of confusing the troops.
When he saw the hopeful expressions of his great-grandparents and his two older brothers, Su Han let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to bury his worries and pray that they dissolved.
When Su Han thought back to how Lin Yuan treated him at the Crown Wood Banquet and the precious instrument his retainer used, he seemed to see a vision of the Su family’s future.
After the secret meeting ended, Su Han asked Su Zhenmu in a low voice, “Great-Grandfather, has Sky Creation’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master remained in the treasure vault all this time? If our family makes a move, your main fey will have to stay by your side. What will happen to the Sky Creation’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master then?”
Ever since Su Han entered, Su Zhenmu could tell from his countenance that something was wrong. Su Zhenmu could guess that this was likely related to Sky Creation.
At the beginning of the operation, Su Zhenmu had his own share of worries and calculations.
However, wealth was only found in the mire of danger.
If Sky Creation’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master truly had the ability to resist, there was no reason for her to endure the treatment of the Su family.
Hence, Su Zhenmu did not think there was anything to worry about.
Su Zhenmu felt that if he busied himself with worrying instead of acting, he would just be dragging the Su family down.
Thus, no matter how much Su Zhenmu usually spoiled Su Han, his tone turned cold. “Han, you have no flaws besides being overly cautious and worrying too much. If that’s the case, you can take yourself out of this operation! You can stay in the residence to watch over Sky Creation’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master!
“My Adjudication Dung Beetle is stronger than Sky Creation’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master’s main fey. It can use its ability to lock Di Wanmi’s spiritual power and movement. It will remove the lock when it returns. So, there’s nothing for you to be worried about!”
Su Zhenmu led Su Jun and Su Jian out of the meeting room.
Su Han was about to chase after Su Zhenmu to add something, but he stopped himself when he remembered the mood that Su Zhenmu was in.
It would also be good for him to guard Di Wanmi.
The Adjudication Dung Beetle’s ability could lock everything within a set area.
There could only be two possibilities for the lock to fail. The first reason was that his great-grandfather’s Adjudication Dung Beetle had died during the battle against the Yang family. The other possibility was that Di Wanmi was originally stronger than the Adjudication Dung Beetle and that she had been trying to set the Su family up from the beginning.
If the Su family had really been set up by the Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master, they would be doomed, regardless of whether their operation against the Yang family turned out to be a success.
…
The long black flood dragon twisted around a nearby rooftop, the clouds rolling beneath it.
When one looked down from its back, all one could see were dark clouds. As the clouds gradually thickened, they could not see the gunfire taking place within the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court.
Ever since Bai Qinghuan climbed aboard Blackie’s back, she had been waiting for Lin Yuan to say something to her.
Yet, not only did Lin Yuan remain silent, he was silently looking up at the stars.
It was as though the constellations were communicating with him. The starlight cascaded down his body, weaving a gossamer garment.
At that moment, Lin Yuan did not seem like a rich young master but like a G.o.d who had been relegated to the mortal realm.
Since Lin Yuan had contracted the Merciful Star Peony, he used Casted Item Starlight almost daily.
He discovered that it rained far too much in the Divine Wood Federation, and the clouds prevented him from using Casted Item Starlight every night.
When it rained, Lin Yuan rode Blackie above the clouds to absorb starlight. He realized the effects of absorbing starlight above the clouds were much better than on the ground.
Purple Love’s blessing allowed Lin Yuan to absorb starlight much easier.
It did not take long before Lin Yuan felt the force in one of his arms to be equivalent to 75 kilograms. This would allow Lin Yuan to be much stronger when he used the combat skills and fighting strategies he had picked up.
After all, when a person was moving, they depended on their strength on top of agility.
Lin Yuan had invited Bai Qinghuan to stargaze because he wanted to cut off her means to retreat and also because he did not want to waste time that he could have been using Casted Item Starlight.
Since Bai Qinghuan had all but delivered herself, Lin Yuan knew that she would seek him out even if he remained silent.
He wanted to see what she, someone whose body could not contain her br.i.m.m.i.n.g ambition, was truly made of.
