567: Chapter 16 My Heart Like the Moon, Yama Gather Together _1 567: Chapter 16 My Heart Like the Moon, Yama Gather Together _1 “So you still want to say, ‘The handwriting reflects the person’?” Lian Que scowled, not being Zhongxuan Sheng, he was well aware of the shortcomings in his appearance.
His large hand was already quietly resting on the booklet.
It seed he was ready to take it back at the slightest provocation.
“There really is so truth to ‘handwriting reflects the person’,” Jiang Wang said calmly, “Look at these characters, twisting and turning, like the movents of a dragon, possessing the montum of riding the clouds and fog!
An ugly form is just superficial, the real essence is in the spirit!
Besides you, who in the Lian family can possess such unyielding spirit and talent to craft such forceful strokes?”
Lian Que then relaxed, allowing Jiang Wang to take the cultivation thod for warming the artifact.
Longing had the aura of a revered weapon but had not yet fully achieved that status.
It needed the washing of the years, the day-to-day battles alongside its bearer, and the progress made together with its owner.
There were ways to accelerate this process, and the Lian family, being the sacred ground of weapon forging under heaven, was not lacking in related research.
However, most of these thods were unusable for Jiang Wang with his earlier level of strength.
Using a Divine Power Seed to nurture a revered weapon was one such authentic and grand thod.
And Lian Que, as the creator of Longing, knew the sword better than anyone else except Jiang Wang.
He had tailored adjustnts specifically for Longing, which naturally was the most fitting cultivation thod for this legendary sword.
Jiang Wang verbally criticized, but was in fact quite eager.
He flipped through the book of the nurturing thod several tis on the spot.
It must be said, although Lian Que himself was unsightly and so was his handwriting, in the way of weapon forging, he was nothing short of a prodigy.
The entire nurturing thod was comprehensive and ingenious, even soone like Jiang Wang, an outsider to the craft, could tell at a glance its value.
All this ti, in battle, Jiang Wang had rely relied on the inherent sharpness of Longing, and its unique qualities as a revered weapon had yet to be displayed.
With this nurturing thod, Longing would surely show its prominence much sooner.
Lian Que was hot-tempered and clumsy with words, often saying very little.
Having been around people like Zhongxuan Sheng and Xu Xiangqian for so long, Jiang Wang subconsciously wanted to jest.
Fortunately, the deep friendship between them ant Lian Que would not take it to heart.
“Also,” Lian Que said, bringing out a squarish, slightly flat black iron box, “the thing you asked to forge is finished.
It is sowhat malicious, so you must use it with caution.”
Only soone like Lian Que would speak so bluntly.
Jiang Wang took the box without a closer look and put it directly in the storage box, “Was it difficult to handle?”
“It wasn’t easy…
but it wasn’t beyond ,” Lian Que said, his tone tinged with a touch of pride.
“Of course, forging would not stump you, you are Lian Que after all!”
After thinking for a mont, Jiang Wang spoke earnestly, “I won’t use it lightly.
It’s just that I subconsciously felt this thing was rare and didn’t want to waste it.
And after much thought, I concluded that only you could handle it properly.”
Lian Que broke into a grin, “The higher you climb, the more you see the complexity in people’s hearts.
These days, I take what people say with a grain of salt.
Only you, Jiang Wang, can I trust completely whatever you say.”
Back at the Lian family ancestry worship ceremony, he had defied death to vindicate himself.
It wasn’t strength, money, or power that could win over soone who’d gone to such lengths.
To be recognized by soone like Lian Que was undoubtedly a gratifying experience.
Raising his cup towards the window, Jiang Wang proclaid, “My heart is like the moon, fortunate to have your understanding!”
…
…
Under the sa round moon,
Yin Guan stood atop a tree, facing the bright moon with a distant look in his eyes, lost in thought.
Wang the Coroner, with his mask on, sat cross-legged under the tree.
Underlings like Su Xiuhang could easily escape by blending into the crowd, disappearing without a trace, leaving barely a ripple behind.
Once gone, they were gone.
But these “Yama” from Hell Has No Door were the ones Beiyaduwei explicitly ordered to be captured at all costs, regardless of life or death!
The “Yama” from Hell Has No Door were absolutely the top figures in the assassin business.
When it ca to hiding their tracks, they were all experts.
However, in the face of Qi Country’s formidable pursuit forces, they were still not enough.
Even soone as strong as King Tai Shan was still ferreted out from his hiding place and captured in the act.
For everyone in Hell Has No Door, these were days of great adversity.
They had been pursued by the powers of the state before, but in the end, all had co to nothing, and Hell Has No Door had remained unscathed.
But this ti was different.
Everyone realized that this ti it really was different.
This ti it was Qi Country, the overlord of the Eastern Region, a powerhouse unmatched!
Yet, being hunted to the ends of the earth did not seem to diminish Yin Guan in the slightest.
He stood alone at the top of the tree, unworried about revealing himself, even leisurely enjoying the moon.
Not a trace of dejection could be seen on his handso face.
“How is it?
Is the new hand useful?” Yin Guan asked from the top of the tree.
“It’s just so-so.
After all, it’s only a hand from soone of the Inner Mansion Realm.” Wang the Coroner, seated under the tree, spoke with a rough voice: “I can’t even rember what my original body was like…”
For most cultivators, if a limb could not be reattached, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Even if they consud so spiritual dicine that could regenerate a limb, it would not return to its original state in a year or two.
Any strong person who has reached his level has each part of their body tempered and shaped over ti and effort.
That ti and sweat, once lost, cannot be easily regained.
But Wang the Coroner practiced a special cultivation technique.
Most of his limbs and even his flesh had “changed” from others’ bodies.
This was why he could decisively abandon a hand to buy ti for Yin Guan.
Yin Guan did not continue the conversation on this topic but went straight to the point, “Then, call everyone together.”
Wang the Coroner pinched his ten fingers together, and after a dizzying series of hand signs, his palms ca together in front of his body, then slowly pulled apart.
Between his hands, a silvery-white screen of light appeared.
The screen trembled slightly at first, then steadied.
It was neatly divided into ten sections.
Shadows appeared in six of them.
The figures of Yin Guan and Wang the Coroner also appeared, occupying two of the sections.
In the remaining four sections were four individuals wearing the sa style of mask as Wang the Coroner.
They were—King Song Di, King of Bian Cheng, King of the City, King of Equality.
In Qi Country’s operation, seven Yama from Hell Has No Door were mobilized out of the Ten Kings of Yama, with only King of Chu Jiang, King Yama, and Wheel-turning King not entering the Qi Territory.
Although, in the end, only five of them acted at Xiao Lian Bridge.
But their preparations were definitely thorough, leaving the potential for two more Yama to join.
This shows that although Hell Has No Door seed to act without constraint, they were still quite cautious when it ca to Qi Country.
However…
it now seed that such caution was far from enough.
Perhaps they should never have accepted that deal in the first place!
Only six figures were present because those three Yama outside Qi Country could not possibly communicate with them across Qi Country’s protective formation, especially at such a tense ti, as it would virtually reveal their locations.
And there was one blank section, belonging to King Tai Shan…
During this ti of hiding and evading, it was rare for the Yama of Hell Has No Door to gather together in such a way.
As soon as he appeared, King of the City spoke in a hoarse voice, “Is it appropriate to ask for communication at such a dangerous ti, King of Qin Guang?”
