Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Undercover in the Decree Bureau
Before, flipping through Character Cards was Yang Genshuoâs greatest pleasure in playing this game.
Because in the two years prior, aside from flipping Character Cards, there wasnât much else for him to do.
Now the scene was different; he couldnât keep up with all three screens.
He could spend several hours just watching that kid Yang Fushuo practicing alchemy⊠and that kid was a chatterbox, always liking to chatter with the ancestors. If he came across something nice, heâd always think to offer it up to the ancestors.
Flipping through a large volume of ordinary peopleâs Character Cards now felt like torture to Yang Genshuo, top-tier torture.
âCanât this game come with a one-click filtering feature?â
After saying this, Yang Genshuo realized something wasnât quite right⊠because there indeed was a filtering feature in the game.
Cultivators had a faint aura about them, and the ones with higher Cultivation had even more substantial glows.
So he could quickly determine which people were Cultivators.
But⊠the person Yang Shi was searching for was a Martial Cultivator!
âCanât make it out, just canât make it out.â
Yang Genshuo flipped through several Character Cards and felt completely numb to it.
In this vast sea of people, there were only a few hundred Cultivators; the majority were Mortals. This did not reduce the workload at all.
After pondering for a while⊠Yang Genshuo thought of another method.
[Manifestation]
âAll you need to do is search wholeheartedly, and youâll naturally meet the Martial Saint.â
Yang Shi nodded, âGot it, great ancestor!â
Although he didnât understand the principle behind it, if the ancestor said it, there must be reason in the ancestorâs words.
Yang Shi then went to inquire about and search for the person using the most straightforward method, as an ordinary Innate Master.
Yang Genshuo, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
âJust have faith and youâll gain 30 Qi Fortune. You can even find a Secret Realm with that, how could finding a person be any harder than pinching it out of thin air?â
Mechanical work was too troublesome. It was better to just leave it to the mystic arts.
âI can continue watching Yang Fushuo practice alchemy~â
âI can also watch Yang Fu and little missâs daily life~â
âYang Fuqing seems a bit unhappy in the Fierce Sun Dynasty lately⊠Oh~ I get it. Since leaving the Devil Wind Forest, sheâs lost so many of her little friends, and here she only has people.â
âYang Fujian is making rapid progress lately. Heâll probably grasp the Mingxin Technique soon, and then heâll be at the sixth level of Body Refining.â
âEh? Whatâs Hu Zi up to? Why has he been so elusive latelyâŠâ
Since Hu Zi was not a direct descendant of the Yang Family, Yang Genshuo did not have direct vision of him and could only watch his movements through the eyes of the Yang Family people.
After the Yang Family moved into the Fierce Sun Dynasty, aside from running a tea house, Hu Zi seemed to be busy with something else too, often nowhere to be seen.
Yang Genshuo sped through the footage on the three large screens, letting time zip byâŠ
After a few days, he saw Hu Zi riding a horse, leading a long rope with a string of Slaves attached.
Snap!
âEveryone behave! Starting from today, youâre part of our Yang Family! Follow our Yang Familyâs laws!â
âThe first rule is civilization!â
Snap!
âIâm here to teach you Slaves civilization! Those who arenât civilized will get a combo of ten whips straight, ensuring youâll be bedridden for a week!â
Hiss~
The multitude of Slaves shuddered.
Jiang Xiaobai came out, looking at Hu Zi with a shocked face.
âWhere did you round up all these Barbarians?â
âHeh heh~ The world isnât short of Slaves; it just lacks the eyes to find them. I searched patiently and finally found these Barbarians in the mountains, relying on their naturally strong bodies to rob passing merchant caravans for a living. I swept them all up in one swoop to come here, have them do some farming, and civilize them.â
âBut wonât these Barbarians cause some kind of destruction?â
âHeh heh~â Hu Ziâs face revealed a cruel smile, âIt would be best for them if they stay clear, otherwise Iâll have no place to unleash this âLightning Thousand Whipsâ Iâve just grasped, which would frustrate my mindset.â
Good grief!
Yang Genshuo was utterly shocked.
Yang Shi had achieved enlightenment through wealth, while Hu Zi entered the path by subjugating a slave.
Heâd even developed an advanced version of a martial art.
The sacred body of a natural-born farmer.
No wonder Hu Zi was able to tame the Qi Refinement Realm Gray Wolf without being an Innate Master.
If it resisted, it would have been beaten to deathâŠ
Although half a month had passed in the game, only one hour had elapsed in reality.
On the Yang Family side, apart from a slight degradation in Yang Fuqingâs mindset, everyone else was doing quite well.
Yang Shi had also explored some promising leads.
The Martial Saint had indeed appeared many times in the Capital City of the Danai Dynasty, for he would occasionally help the Decree Bureau train martial cultivators.
The Martial Saintâs power was unfathomable, and even the Qi Refinement Immortals of the Decree Bureau had to greet him with the utmost respect.
Furthermore, the Royal Family of the Danai Dynasty seemed to hold the Martial Saint in high esteem.
However, the whereabouts of the Martial Saint were erratic, and no one knew when he would arrive or depart.
The only likely source of news was the higher-ups of the Danai Decree Bureau, but Yang Shi had no way to make contact with them.
According to Ding Zhen, the Danai Decree Bureau had always pretended to be weak, but in reality its strength was⊠immensely strong, on par with the Blood Soul Valley.
If any slip was made, even with the Thunderbolt Sword, escape would be extremely difficult.
But Yang Shi truly was a man blessed with Qi Fortune, for today the Decree Bureau actually issued a new recruitment decree.
âMartial cultivators who join the newly established legion can receive personal instructions from the Martial SaintâŠâ
Yang Shi, reading the content of the recruitment decree, had a pleased smile at the corner of his mouth.
âThe old ancestor truly has divine foresight! We really did wait for an opportunity!â
Yang Genshuoâs lips curled slightly.
âIs this what Qi Fortune is? Itâs too heaven-defyingâŠâ
But upon further consideration, Yang Genshuo felt there was a reason for it.
âOver this half-month, all over the Danai Dynasty, there were rumors of two of the Decree Bureauâs legions being annihilated, allegedly by the Thunder Immortal Venerable. However, the Thunder Immortal Venerable was also seen in Qingshi County at the same time and had slain two recently notorious demon cultivators. Suspicions were rampantâŠâ
There was a rumor among the people that the Thunder Immortal Venerable could clone himself and was dedicated to slaying the evil paths.
And the fact that the Danai Decree Bureau put out a warrant for the Thunder Immortal Venerable was disliked by many cultivators because he had always been slaying demon cultivators, having eliminated two high-rank Qi Cultivation demon cultivators, thereby preventing so many disasters!
At the same time, the Xuan Stone Sect had reacted by claiming that the two legions of the Decree Bureau were controlled by demon cultivators and deserved their fate. They sternly warned the Royal Family of the Danai Dynasty to investigate the internal issues of the Decree Bureau.
The Royal Family of the Danai Dynasty gave no response.
And today⊠the recruitment and purchase of soldiers began.
âSo, is war coming?â
Yang Genshuo had a faint premonition of an impending storm.
âPerhaps Yang Shi can go undercover with a concealed identity as a lowly soldier, getting close to the Martial Saint while also gathering some informationâŠâ
That was what Yang Shi was thinking too.
âOld ancestor, when the time comes, I will collaborate with Senior Brother Ding Zhen. One of us will infiltrate the Blood Soul Valley and the other the Decree Bureau. Together with the Xuan Stone Sect, we will eradicate the two great evil paths, thus living up to Sister Murongâs teachings.â
âBrother Bai can rest in peace down belowâŠâ
Yang Shi was loyal; he never forgot those who showed him kindness.
At this moment, he was fighting not only for the deep vengeance of the Yang Family but also for Bai Heyu and Murong Ziyuan.
Adopting the name Liu Shi, he registered to join the Decree Bureau.
Yang Shi had assumed he would face numerous dangers before he could meet the Martial Saint, but to his surprise, on the very first day, theyâthe Innate Mastersâwere all called together.
âToday, the Martial Saint will teach you⊠the path of cultivation.â
