Chapter 530: Conspiring
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
The snow was falling, causing the City Lord Mansion to be smeared white by the snowflakes that fell endlessly from the sky . Wu Qi guessed it must be at least thirty to forty degree Celsius below zero now, right in the Six Rivers City and the areas around it . However, he could still see countless armored soldiers keeping guard at all the important places across the mansion . It seemed as if they did not feel the biting cold at all . They stood straight where they had been stationed like iron pillars, eyes not blinking even when the cold breeze came caressing their faces .
They were the soldiers from the Ironclad Army of Great Qin, which was composed of only the native people of Pangu Continent . It had taken Bai Qi just one year to train them right here, in the Six Rivers City, all by himself . As Wu Qi followed the two burly men and walked past these soldiers, he felt the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably . Though their cultivation base was so weak that he could kill them with just a pinch, the cruel look on their faces and the killing intent emanated from their bodies had made him shudder .
'This damnable Great Qin! They sure are the strongest among all the six dynasties when it comes to the art of war!' Wu Qi thought with his mouth twitching . At the same time, he felt glad that they were at Pangu Continent, as no number of lesser soldiers could decide the result of a war .
They walked through the snow-covered ground and entered the back garden . Twelve maidservants were seen carrying plates made of white jade, piled up with spirit fruits which were only ripe enough to be harvested during the cold weather, and serving them into the residence where Reverend Li Yang and Fairy Xuan Die were staying .
Standing before the door to the simply decorated yet majestic abode, Wu Qi called out in a deep voice, "Junior Black Dragon asks to speak with Seniors . "
In the next moment, Fairy Xuan Die's voice was heard coming through the door, "Oh, Black Dragon is here? Come in now . It happens that I do have some use of you!"
Wu Qi answered respectfully and strode into the abode . He went around a screen, walked through a corridor, and came to the inner chamber . In Great Yu, the architectural and decoration style was both quaint and conservative . Although what he had entered was called an abode, the decoration of its inner chamber was very simple . The only thing that was of luxury were the four huge bronze incense burners placed at the four corners, where firewood burned vigorously inside them, heating up the chamber and making it feel like spring, while filling the air with a refreshing aroma .
Clad in a green Daoist robe, Reverend Li Yang was leaning on a couch with four naked girls kneeling next to him, gingerly trimming his fingernails . On the other side, Fairy Xuan Die sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, wearing a luxurious feathered coat made of the feathers of sparrows . With a pleasing look on her face, she was holding a small wine glass in one hand, taking small sips every now and then, while the other was pinching a spirit fruit with pure white skin that radiated a faint cold mist .
Wu Qi gave the four girls a quick glance as he entered the inner chamber, then bowed to the two Seniors and greeted, "Junior Black Dragon offers greeting, my Seniors!" The glance had filled his heart with a faint killing intent . Clearly, Reverend Li Yang had taken the four girls as his cultivation vessels . Although they looked as young and full of life as ripe plums, their energy essences had been fully extracted . Wu Qi reckoned that they could only live for another two months at the most .
Reverend Li Yang snorted coldly and said in an indifferent tone, "I've not seen you offering us a greeting over the last three months . You are worse than Zhang Yi and Bai Qi . How dare you!"
Fairy Xuan Die giggled and said with her usually gentle voice, "Don't blame him . I know Black Dragon is nursing his wounds in a seclusion . He can only serve us better once his wounds are treated! Now listen to me, Black Dragon . "
Wu Qi answered quickly and respectfully, "I'm always at your service, Fairy . "
Fairy Xuan Die was very satisfied with Wu Qi's attitude . She studied him with her divine will, then nodded and said, "You look full of spirit and energy with that cultivation base of peak stage Nascent Soul realm . Mm, if you serve us well, we will definitely reward you accordingly once we return to our Sect . Do you understand?"
Wu Qi bowed and said with a smile on his face, "I understand . Your wish is my command, Fairy!"
Fairy Xuan Die chuckled at his answer . "During the three months of time when you were nursing your wounds in a seclusion, I had given Zhang Yi and Bai Qi an order . " She said coolly . "I had told them to assemble some men and search for energy stone veins outside the city, and harvest all the energy and immortal stones they could find . But, I suspect they might be lying to me, as they only brought me so few energy and immortal stones . With this lousy rate, I've no idea when I would be able to get all the resources I need . "
Wu Qi's heart fluttered in his chest . He had just escaped from Miao Ying Palace after being the chief supervisor of the mine for three years . Could it be that he was to carry out that old trade again?
What Fairy Xuan Die told him next proved his guess, "Now that you have fully healed, I want you to supervise them, and make them extract the energy and immortal stones at a faster rate . Should you find that they are really playing some small tricks behind me, purposely slowing down the speed, kill them with the tree talismans we have given you . After that, you will handle the entire Six Rivers City alone!"
Wu Qi cupped his fist, bowed deeply, and said, "I will make every effort to serve Seniors . If Zhang Yi and Bai Qi dare to play their little tricks, I'll definitely teach them a good lesson!"
He waited for some while, and after realizing that Fairy Xuan Die had nothing else for him, he bowed slightly and withdrew from the chamber .
His brows furrowed into a tight frown as he walked towards the great hall . Countless thoughts were tumbling in his mind . Why would Reverend Li Yang and Fairy Xuan Die want so many energy and immortal stones in such a hurried manner? Both of them were Gold Immortals, and it was the immortal pills of excellent quality they needed to heal their serious wounds . With only energy and immortal stones, it would take a very long time for them to be fully healed, perhaps up to a few Periods .
