Chapter 64: Storm is Coming

ssion.Although he is dead, his information has not died.Among his family and friends, there still lives a memory of Zhang Xi Zhi.The Criminal Justice Department is located north of the City Lord's Man...On the cavern walls, a faint white light emanated, as if one had entered the belly of some colossal skeletal beast.

> Walking through the long corridor, you will see a different world inside.

In the very center of the cavern, a crimson carpet unfurled. Masked bone messengers and red-clad courtesans named Miaoyu stood on either side.

They were each flanked by several black-robed figures, forming two distinct groups.

The crimson carpet stretched endlessly.

At the end, white bones served as steps, flesh and blood as a platform. On top of this high platform, there was forged a throne made of bone spikes, terrifyingly sharp.

On the seat sat a skeleton. Weak and shriveled, it seemed as if a gust of wind would blow it apart.

But the voice came from the skull's hollow mouth: "Who can tell me, where has the candle of Hades gone"

A black-robed old man knelt down with a thud: "I am incompetent!"

The voice was always hollow, devoid of any emotion: "So who can tell me, who is responsible for this disastrous operation"

The old man in black robes glanced at the White Bone Messenger out of the corner of his eye, but saw that he remained motionless, showing no intention of speaking up for him. He could only grit his teeth and slam his head down: "Subordinate... guilty."

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his head in alarm, "Grand Elder! Please…"

A gust of cold wind seemed to sweep past.

A black robe slumped to the ground, revealing only a pile of bones beneath.

And so he died.

“Indeed, you deserve to die.” The skeleton continued, “The White Bone Path has been difficult to pass down through the ages, and many of the techniques are incomplete. The Soul Lamp is a treasure of my sect, passed down in secrecy, and it can help me complete the lost techniques. But you are so incompetent, you have missed such an opportunity!”

At this time, the Bone Messenger spoke up: “I remember, the Saintess did have a backup plan.”

>

Miaoyu gave a charming smile. "There must be someone responding to the first move before there's anyone for the second. However, several days have passed now. I haven't heard from my people either. I don't know if they were killed by Wei Queji or eaten by some wildcat or stray dog."

The White Bone Messenger laughed and said, "What first move I don't know about it."

“Alright.” The skeleton on the white bone chair said, “Since Wei Queji used a nether candle as bait, it means he already knows that our White Bone Dao stepped on his face. But he doesn’t know what the nether candle means to us. He has killed enough people and wouldn't care so much about the nether candle. I want you to dig three feet into the ground and find out who got hold of the nether candle.”

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"Yes." Everyone bowed their heads.

Please note that I only translated the content within the tags, and I left the HTML tags as they were.

"Also, I've been making some big moves in the Cloud Kingdom lately. You all should keep a low profile." After the Elder finished speaking, the skeleton instantly crumbled, bones scattering and falling onto the bone throne.

With a wave of her hand, Miaoyu dispersed the crowd in the cave. Only the White Bone Messenger and she remained.

The Bone Messenger snorted first, “Did the three elders use themselves as bait to condense a ghostly apparition at the Ghost Gate Are they letting him go to Cloud Country to show off”

"Who says that's not the case" Miao Yu frowned slightly: "The Great Elder now seems to be not very interested in finding the Daozi."

"Hahaha." The skeletal messenger chuckled and walked away, "With the Daoist absent, he acts on behalf of the Holy Lord. Once the Daoist returns, he will simply be the Grand Elder again. What do you think he will choose"

Every time Jiang Wang came to the hospital, she was a little absent-minded.

There's nothing to it, he hasn't even laid the foundation. No matter how eloquently the instructors speak, he can only practice in his heart and can't quench his thirst, nor can he have a deep understanding at all.

Compared to other students, Jiang Wang preferred attending classes and listening to the elders explain the principles of the Dao and the classics of saints. He found joy in it.

But he dared not miss these classes at the Academy, especially since this class was taught by Xiao Tie Mian.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xiao Tie Mian's real name has been forgotten by everyone. Although he is only at the Qi Tian Jing stage of cultivation, his mastery of various basic Dao techniques is truly profound and polished.

Before class even started, Jiang Wang sat on the cushion, already a bit absent-minded.

He was still recalling the details of last night's challenge at the Good Fortune venue, but he couldn't analyze any more specifics.

Because at the start of the battle, he didn't even have time to draw his sword before an arrow pierced him and ended his movements.

He fell from the Qingyu Altar to the Guangtian Altar, ranked 25th. His monthly production of gong decreased again by 100, leaving him with only 1650 points. Adding the remaining 190 points from the Four Spirit Refining Body deduction he had previously performed, his total amounted to 1840 points of gong.

Outside the realm of illusions, he still had four hundred points of merit on the Daoist Merit List. These were all Jiang Wang possessed that was related to his cultivation.

Although Zhao Ruocheng wouldn't use the meridian-opening pills from the Dao Institute to open his meridians, he still exchanged for one. It was probably to conceal something; he didn't want to elaborate, so Jiang Wang didn't press him further.

According to this kid's bragging, he would use the super invincible and perfect Qi Opening Pill to open his meridian, but unfortunately, he only had one, so he couldn't share it with Jiang Anan.

Jiang Wang then asked him, "How many Dao Xun points would it take to exchange for this 'super invincible and perfect' opening meridian pill"

Zhao Ruocheng didn't say a specific amount, he just patted his shoulder and told him to work hard.

In short, raising a younger sister is a challenging and long journey.

In a daze, Xiao Tie Mian had already walked onto the platform.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang quickly collected his spirit and made a diligent appearance of attentively listening.

"Some people, once they achieve a little success, their tails go right up to the sky. The path of cultivation is long, young people, you must have a long-term perspective." Xiao Tie Mian coughed, "Alright, now let's talk about the specific application of Stone Skin Technique in combat..."

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, unable to understand why she was being targeted again. But she didn't dare show it on her face, instead becoming even more serious.

As soon as Xiao Tiemian left, Huang Azhan came over from the corner.

"Ugh, that dead face! He's so against you, can you stand it Come with me tonight to smash his windows, how about it, do we do it"

Upon seeing Huang Ajian, Jiang Wang immediately understood why he had been targeted. This was just like the saying: "when a fire breaks out at the city gate, the fish in the pond suffer."

Because he was close friends with Huang Ajian in his daily life, Xiao Tie Mian also took note of him.

"Go yourself." Of course Jiang Wang wouldn't accompany him in being foolish.

“Let me tell you, this time I have a well-thought-out plan...”

"Stop!" Jiang Wang halted his longwinded speech and changed the subject. "We made an appointment to have dinner with Senior Brother Li Jianqiu. Are you coming with us"

"Hmph, you just don't believe me. I tell you, last time it was because I was drunk, otherwise, with him Xiao…" Huang Ajian saw Jiang Wang turn and leave, so he hurried to catch up: "I'm going!"

Zhao Ru Cheng casually said, "Let's split the cost of the meal."

Huang A-zhan pretended not to hear, and continued chatting with Ling He about his counterattack plan, hugging his shoulder.

Ling He was a kind person. Although he would definitely not associate with him, he wouldn't intentionally look down on him either.

Young Master Zhao was truly helpless against this former senior brother of his. The man had incredibly thick skin, impervious to any probing or persuasion.

This time the dinner party organizer was Li Jianqiu, he invited Jiang Wang and informed him that he could bring some friends.

The location was at Suhui Vegetarian Restaurant. This place had a slightly higher class than Wangyue Lou, though it focused mainly on vegetarian dishes. Jiang Wang and his group of large-portion meat eaters who loved to drink heavily naturally hadn't come here often.

Entering the room, only Li Jianqiu sat alone.

Since everyone was already acquainted, there wasn't much formality. They directly started enjoying the delicious food.

Du Yexiao despised vegetarian dishes the most, especially those that tried to imitate the taste of chicken or beef with vegetables. He thought it was pointless to go through all that trouble when you could just eat real chicken and beef. Zhao Ruocheng summarized Du Yexiao's opinion by using the word "taste," but his attempt at a debate proved futile.

Fortunately, Du Yexi is not here now. The others don't have his problems.

During the meal, Huang A-zhan shared a funny anecdote.

It is said that after returning to Wangjiang City, Lin Zhengren was elated. At the cleansing banquet, he boasted in public that he was invincible at the Three Cities Debate, and no one in Sashan City or Fenglin City could compare to him. Zhu Wei had just returned to the Daoist Temple not long ago. Upon hearing this, he grabbed his gun and set off alone on a green willow boat, following the Qing River straight to Wangjiang City.

This should have already been handed over.

Jiang Wang doubted: "Judging from Lin Zhengren's performance at the Sancheng Lecture, he is not this kind of person, he shouldn't have said those words, right"

Instead, Li Jianqiu burst into laughter and said, "Perhaps Senior Brother just wanted an excuse to beat him up. Whether he said it or not doesn't matter! Since the rumor is out there, let's treat it as if he did say it."

He has been in contact with Zhu Weiwu more often, so he naturally understands him better.

Although Jiang Wang had only met him once, she also felt that what Li Jianqiu said was very much in line with Zhu Wei's style.

"Awesome!"

Wow!

“The eldest brother is mighty!”

“Alright, the person isn't here anyway. You can flatter him to your heart's content; he won't hear a word.” Li Jianqiu waved his hand dismissively and got straight to the point: "The recent beast attacks in Sanshan City have been severe. Yesterday, their city lord issued a reward, seeking out experts to help eradicate the ferocious beasts. This is the largest-scale operation Sanshan City has seen in years. I'm forming a team to go there. What do you say, are you willing to join me”palace will travel the world and serve as officials in various countries. Those who often chase down criminals all over the world are also disciples of this legal palace.The Three Sects Palace does no...
