Chapter 286: Chapter 192: Sword Master

Lu Changfeng had no choice but to secretly activate the first stage of the [Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon].

In addition to increasing his physical strength, the Ancient Bloodline also amplified his sensory abilities to a certain degree.

With Lu Changfeng’s current physical strength, activating the [Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon]...

The sky gradually darkened.

After scouting several potential targets, Lu Changfeng finally found the one he was looking for.

The target was inside the King of Jin Palace, his identity a supervisor among the eunuchs.

Lu Changfeng’s original target had been the old ancestor of the Jin royal family within the King of Jin Palace.

He was a target Lu Changfeng had only detected with extreme caution.

However, he reconsidered. Although the ancestor was at the True Spirit Body Realm, he was ancient, his life like a candle flame in a storm, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Therefore, Lu Changfeng settled for second best and chose this eunuch supervisor.

Name: Wang Changsheng

Realm: High-Tier Primordial Spirit Body of the Rebirth Realm

Root Bone: Upper A

Talents: High-Grade Talent [Divine Whip], Middle Grade Talent [Iron Body]

Bloodline Talent: Ancient Candle Dragon Bloodline (45%)

This Wang Changsheng had clearly been hiding his true strength within the Royal Palace.

He was merely a supervisor in the Imperial Kitchen for the Jin royal family.

With his strength, he would have had no problem serving as the Chief Eunuch.

Evidently, the man was extremely low-profile.

Wang Changsheng also possessed the [Ancient Candle Dragon Bloodline], which Lu Changfeng himself had once controlled.

This was a Demon Fiend Bloodline that Lu Changfeng had obtained from Daliang Country.

This seemed to confirm that the Three Domains of the Profound Realm had indeed been unified once, explaining why different Demon Fiend Bloodlines appeared all across them.

However, the bloodlines of the Human Race were complex; it wasn’t impossible for a latent bloodline to suddenly awaken in a later generation.

’Wang Changsheng’s strength is sufficient to serve as the "Chief Agent of the Northern Domain."’

Having selected his target, Lu Changfeng slowly descended.

With Lu Changfeng’s current power, he could easily handle even someone with a True Spirit Body.

Besides, Wang Changsheng didn’t even have a True Spirit Body.

Lu Changfeng directly activated the third stage of the [Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon].

The spreading Chaos aura instantly enveloped Wang Changsheng’s courtyard.

At that moment, Wang Changsheng was inside his room, in a meditative trance.

During the day, he had to set aside time to manage his subordinates, so whenever he had a spare moment, he would hide away in his room to meditate.

"Hm?" Wang Changsheng’s eyes flew open. His Spiritual Sense told him that everything around him had become an impenetrable expanse of Chaos!

’What’s going on?’

Wang Changsheng rose to his feet in alarm. The next moment, a figure appeared before him.

Yes, appearing before him in an instant.

Supreme Talent, [Qiankun Void Crossing (Instant Teleportation charges: 99/100)]!!

With terrifying speed, Lu Changfeng seized Wang Changsheng by the neck. The Demon Fiend Power within his own body surged madly into Wang Changsheng, instantly sealing all the Spiritual Power within his target.

High-Grade Talent: [Soul Stealing]!

This Talent once belonged to the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect. In the past few decades, Lu Changfeng had finally found it on a blind old man and copied it.

As a reward, he had arranged for the old man to take up an idle post at the County Yamen. Now, the old man’s once-unfilial children and grandchildren treated him exceptionally well every day.

A blessing in his old age, one could say.

The prerequisites for activating [Soul Stealing] were that one’s soul had to be stronger than the target’s, and the process could not be interrupted.

In some ways, this High-Grade Talent was even more practical than a [Supreme Talent].

A moment later, Lu Changfeng’s soul forcibly ejected Wang Changsheng’s from his body. It quickly disintegrated and was absorbed into Lu Changfeng’s own soul.

In the process, Lu Changfeng read Wang Changsheng’s memories to facilitate reshaping them when he turned the body into a clone.

If he had simply used a Dragon Scale Clone to control Wang Changsheng, it would have caused a certain degree of memory corruption.

Reading his memories with [Soul Stealing] before creating the clone was the safest method.

Lu Changfeng materialized a True Dragon Scale and inserted it into Wang Changsheng’s body.

「A moment later.」

Wang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Changfeng had injected him with Chaos Consciousness, returned his previous memories, and added a few new directives.

Upon opening his eyes, Wang Changsheng knelt on one knee before Lu Changfeng. "Greetings, Sword Master."

In Wang Changsheng’s new memories, Lu Changfeng was the Sword Master, the true power behind the [Swordsmanship House]. He possessed the world-shaking power to move gods and ghosts, and his sole purpose in existence was to collect forms of swordsmanship.

Lu Changfeng spoke, "You know what to do next, don’t you?"

Wang Changsheng nodded. "I will regularly collect the forms of swordsmanship within the [Swordsmanship House]. You need only extract the corresponding memories from me periodically to receive them."

Lu Changfeng nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, very good."

Wang Changsheng spoke again. "However, Sword Master, Jin Country has been in turmoil these past few days. It would be best to temporarily close the [Swordsmanship House] for a while."

"Oh? And why is that?" Lu Changfeng asked.

Wang Changsheng replied, "Some time ago, the throne of Zhao Country was usurped, and it was renamed Yun Country. Today, Yun Country allied with Wu Country to launch a surprise attack on Jin Country. Their army is advancing like an unstoppable force, heading straight for the Jin Country Capital City!"

Lu Changfeng was taken aback. ’I didn’t expect that kid Bai Yimeng to be so capable.’

Remembering the Jin ancestor at the True Spirit Body Realm still in the Royal Palace, Lu Changfeng decided to lend Bai Yimeng a hand. He would plunder the treasury of the King of Jin Palace tonight and, while he was at it, help Bai Yimeng by taking out the old ancestor.
