Chapter 891: 549, Taking you all home_3

Earlier, many Transcendents maliciously ‘planted’ Taboo Objects to gain huge profits.

A Taboo Object precipitated by a Demigod must undoubtedly be an S-Class Taboo Object, with a safety rating of ‘Extremely Dangerous.’

Of course, in the eyes of many, Taboo Objects rated as ‘Extremely Dangerous’ by the Contraindicated courts are highly valuable.

April said obediently, “Uncle, the Taboo Object ACE-016 is rated as extremely dangerous. If such a thing falls into the hands of the common folk, many will suffer miserably… If we’re not careful, it might cause a massacre; you must be very aware of the seriousness of this matter.”

Uncle Li Dong thought for a moment and said, “What if I don’t give it?”

April: “You, being such an impressive figure, don’t need such a thing, do you.”

“I can gift it to my apprentice, and even to my apprentice’s apprentice. I will have many apprentice’s apprentices in the future,” Uncle Li Dong said.

April’s complexion suddenly turned bitter: “You are a Demigod. Surely, you wouldn’t make things difficult for a little girl like me.”

Uncle Li Dong said seriously, “I would.”

April said, “Our boss even gifted Li Dongze a pocket watch…”

“That’s a different matter; that’s their business. Li Dongze also gave her something,” Uncle Li Dong said.

April sighed and had the crow behind her open a backpack, taking out two red velvet boxes from inside: “As expected, our boss said Knights are hard to deal with. These are two Taboo Objects rated as safe, to trade for the Taboo Object ACE-016.”

Uncle Li Dong smiled: “Deal.”

Qing Chen was dumbfounded, realizing that they could haggle even at the Contraindicated courts?!

Uncle Li Dong said to April, “You’ve scored a big bargain. If it weren’t for March and… forget it, let’s not bring this up.”

Speaking, the Demigod casually handed a red velvet box to Qing Chen: “I heard you’ve taken an apprentice in the Outer World. I’ve already given Li Ke’s gift; this is for the other one.”

Qing Chen’s face sank: “You weren’t this generous when you gifted me a Taboo Object.”

Uncle Li Dong glanced at him: “I was worried I’d spoil you.”

“Won’t they be spoiled? Li Ke’s strength hasn’t reached the point where he needs to wear a Taboo Object,” Qing Chen protested: “Please don’t spoil my apprentice.”

“How are you speaking, with no respect? Do I need your permission to gift my apprentice’s apprentice a present?”

Qing Chen thought to himself, do Knights have some sort of curse about favoritism across generations? They all seem to forget their children once they have grandchildren.

“By the way, Master, I have another apprentice,” Qing Chen said, eyeing the other box in Uncle Li Dong’s hand.

“I suspect you’re lying to me, but I have no evidence,” Uncle Li Dong said.

Qing Chen pulled Uncle Li Dong aside and whispered, “It’s true; this one is actually an Onmyoji Knight.”

Uncle Li Dong raised an eyebrow, surprised at another shift in profession, especially to Onmyoji.

Qing Chen explained, “It’s a nine-year-old girl named Jinguji Maki. Her blood can intimidate Shikigami, and I haven’t figured out how. When I smear her blood on my wrist, after the Onmyoji dies, the Shikigami will instinctively enter my mind from my wrist.”

Uncle Li Dong was a bit surprised: “Genji?”

“What Genji?” Qing Chen asked.

“The one-time master of the Jindai family, who attempted to erase this part of the Li Family history, but the Observer recorded it all,” Uncle Li Dong said, “This little girl must be protected; Jindai will be crazed for her.”

Qing Chen whispered, “Jindai probably thinks I’m the one who can intimidate Shikigami now.”

Uncle Li Dong looked deeply at Qing Chen: “You’re covering for her? This decision is very dangerous.”

Qing Chen said, “I am her Master.”

“A bit like me,” Uncle Li Dong laughed as he walked north: “You’ve made your decision, so you bear it. Let’s go; the crows are after the Taboo Object, which means that old turtle Jindai wasn’t destined to die today. Let’s see how he survived… It’s a shame the Chen Clan’s ambition is even greater than I imagined.”

…

The battle of the Demigods ended prematurely.

Like playing poker, when one person holds three Kings and another holds three Aces, it’s most likely to result in a fierce showdown.

If either side shows any weakness, someone will think of fleeing.

The alliance between Li Bingxi and Jindai Chika was too fragile, like Dominoes; the moment Jindai Chika recalled his Shikigami, the Dominoes all fell one by one.

In the north, only Chen Yu remained on the snowfield; the others had vanished.

On the snowfield, giant pits several meters deep were everywhere, only from this scene could one gauge how intense the battle had been.

There were bloodstains on the ground, but Chen Yu was without blood.

Uncle Li Dong and Chen Yu looked at each other from afar.

The previous generation Demigod and the younger generation Demigod stood on that snowfield, making the world seem to consist solely of these two, making the snowy field appear especially pristine.

Chen Yu carried a bamboo basket, bowed to Uncle Li Dong: “An owed favor from my father is repaid today.”

“Did you injure Jindai Chika?” Uncle Li Dong asked.

Chen Yu answered honestly: “Severely injured.”

“Better than your teacher.”

“He’s too old, his vital energy is failing, even his control over Shikigami is weaker than before. Plus, you risked your life to restrain four of his Shikigami at the start, giving me the opportunity,” Chen Yu said.

“Why did you let him go?”

“Because you and the Shadow aren’t dead yet, and the Chen Clan isn’t prepared,” Chen Yu said candidly, “Besides, I’ve already informed him that the Jindai Northern Fleet carries ‘Susano’s Man’ missiles and is coming with the intent to kill all the Demigods present today, including him. He knows who truly wants him dead, letting him return means Jindai will gradually weaken. So I let Jindai Chika go before you arrived.”
