Silver Overlord

Chapter 180: Reporting In

Translator: Myuu Editor: Myuu

Qi Donglai’s strength had always been inferior to Yan Liqiang’s. Hence, Yan Liqiang’s sudden ambush left no room for Qi Donglai to react. He was knocked to the ground by Yan Liqiang’s two ruthless attacks and was sent to hell’s gate before he could even utter a word...

Fresh blood spilled out from Qi Donglai’s mouth, nose, and the knife wound on his chest. He was lying facedown on the ground with his limbs sprawled out everywhere. His eyes were wide open as he watched Yan Liqiang come into the room through the entrance with a grave expression.

Qi Donglai’s lips moved slightly as though he was trying to say something. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even get half a word out right now. His tongue slid up and down in his mouth, but the fresh blood poured out from his mouth instead.

Yan Liqiang walked lightly to his side and crouched down to retrieve the needle which was buried in his hair.

After retrieving the needle, only a tiny pinprick, which could barely be seen by naked eye, was left on Qi Donglai’s scalp and it was concealed by his hair. Under such circumstances, even the most experienced coroner would overlook this barely noticeable wound on his body.

“When you schemed against me for the Hong Clan back then, I forgave you once for the sake of our past friendship and spared your life. This time, you really asked for it. If you have another chance to reincarnate as a human in your next life, remember this: as you sow, so shall you reap.”

Qi Donglai’s expression contorted as he listened to Yan Liqiang’s cold words of advice before he finally closed his eyes.

Yan Liqiang reached out and placed a finger on his neck. After ensuring that Qi Donglai’s heartbeat had completely ceased, he stood up.

At first, he had intended to make it seem as though Qi Donglai had committed a suicide after he disposed of him. However, after witnessing everything that had transpired just now, his idea of making it look as though he had committed suicide was definitely not enough to trick those people from the White Lotus Society. Therefore, he had to think up of an alternative way...

With the swiftest speed, Yan Liqiang turned the place where Qi Donglai lived upside town, making it seem as though the place had been visited by a thief. He dug out the silver Qi Donglai had hidden near the corner of the wall and took them all away. Then he emptied out all the little fragments of silver and copper coins left on Qi Donglai to make it seem as though he had been robbed of his money. After that, he blew out the lights in the room, exited to the yard, and went to the main entrance. He listened carefully to ensure that there was no one around before he lightly opened the gate. Then he stepped out, shut the gate again, and vanished into the alley in the blink of an eye, leaving everything behind him like a mystery.

It was not strange at all for a martial arts academy’s student, who lived alone in this old residential area, to become the target of some ill-doers because the same type of cases had happened before in Pingxi City.

Half an hour later, Yan Liqiang had returned to his residence which was located at the Nine Dragons Bridge. After he packed up, he immediately returned to the courtyard in Wuyang Village.

......

For the next two days, Yan Liqiang spent his days peacefully in Wuyang Village.

He had actually made necessary preparations since long ago. He informed those he should inform, notified those he should notify, and visited those he should visit. Almost everyone that was close to him knew that he had been appointed by Sun Bingchen to be his attendant. Apart from this, Yan Liqiang had no other connections in Pingxi City. If he had to leave, he could just take his backpack and leave right away.

He also had already packed everything he needed.

Yan Liqiang wasn’t in a hurry to report to Sun Bingchen because he wanted to make use of these two days to cultivate and sort out all the information he had gathered up to this point in peace.

He had already progressed into a Martial Warrior in both reality and in the Heavenly Realm. Hence, he pretty much had officially entered the world of cultivation. The internal cultivation technique he was currently cultivating was the ‘Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Divine Technique’ and his archery had already attained the Third Heavenly Layer. Apart from these, he had already trained his concealed weapon, the flying needles technique, the Tiger Roaring Consecutive Fist technique, and the Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps technique to the highest layer.

With the skills and abilities he possessed, he had already far surpassed the capability of any ordinary Martial Warrior since long ago. Although Yan Liqiang hadn’t officially fought with a Supreme Martial Warrior, he had a hunch that if he were to fight one right now, he still had a better chance of winning compared to other ordinary Supreme Martial Warriors.

Most importantly, Yan Liqiang could finally learn another supreme technique. He had been looking forward to this technique for a long time after he had progressed into a Martial Warrior —’The Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique’.

The Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique was the secret manual that King Cobra had left behind. However, it could only be cultivated by those who had progressed into Martial Warriors. Before this, Yan Liqiang couldn’t even cultivate it. But now, he could finally cultivate this powerful secret manual which could significantly enhance his passive defensive capabilities.

Over these two days, Yan Liqiang started to slowly train this technique, regardless of whether he was in reality or in the Heavenly Realm.

Only those who had died once would be aware of how precious and fragile life was. It was worth noting the preciousness of techniques like these which could improve his chance of survival and further ensure his safety. Therefore Yan Liqiang naturally spent most of his effort in practicing this technique.

Over these two days, Yan Liqiang cultivated the ‘Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Divine Technique’ while continuously condensing his vital Qi. At the same time, after condensing his vital Qi, he slowly pushed it to the acupoints in his body according to the requirement stated in the secret manual of the ‘The Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique’ for the first layer.

For a person who had never experienced their vital Qi coursing through their body, this was a splendid and wonderful experience. Yan Liqiang could barely stop himself throughout the entire process.

Two days passed by in just the blink of an eye. On the third day, Yan Liqiang didn’t wait until nightfall. He packed up at noon, carried a sack, placed the Horned Python Bow on his back, and descended the mountain with Goldie. He called for a horse carriage and went straight to Sun Bingchen’s manor.

Sun Bingchen’s guards and honor guards stationed outside the manor had seen Yan Liqiang before, so they naturally wouldn’t stop Yan Liqiang from entering. However, none of them expected Yan Liqiang to actually bring a dog along with him...

“I didn’t expect for Lord Sun’s newly appointed attendant to actually bring a dog with him. How very unusual...”

“Don’t you see that this is what they mean by ‘when a man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven’?” [1]

“Hey watch it, he’s the Lord Sun’s personal attendant, and his official rank is Armed Battalion Commandant of Rank Eight Secondary Class. He’s not someone us lowly soldiers can afford to offend!”

“But he hasn’t been given his rank yet, right? I’d say that he’s just a lucky bastard. What kind of capabilities does a brat who hasn’t hit puberty yet possibly have? Can he even draw the huge bow he’s carrying on his back...?”

Yan Liqiang’s sense of hearing was getting sharper. He could still hear the whispers among those guards behind him. Additionally, he could sense the strange way they were staring at him from behind despite the distance between him and the entrance he passed through from...

As a newcomer who suddenly got promoted to a high position straight off the bat, it was nearly impossible for him to not become a subject of jealousy and criticism in other people’s eyes.

Yan Liqiang pretended he didn’t hear those discussions. He immediately pulled Goldie along to meet Liang Yijie.

Liang Yijie frowned as soon as he saw that Yan Liqiang had come to report in with a dog...
