Chapter 90 – Atkin’s Conspiracy


Xu Zong from Martial World General: “You can enjoy it yourself, don’t worry, we are all Xu Zong, no one will say anything about you.”

Xu Zong from The Nine Cauldrons: “Although you are a beauty and a beast, I believe that when you transform into a human, you will definitely be a handsome man who can charm Yan Ying!”

Xu Zong from Wind & Cloud: “Roar. (I don’t want to charm her.)”

Xu Zong from Martial World General: “Wow, you still prefer beauties and beasts? XP, you’re really special!”

Xu Zong from Wind & Cloud: “Damn it.”

In the cave.

The Fire Qilin glanced at Yan Ying, who was cowering in the corner, with a pale and frightened expression, and couldn’t help shaking its head.

“Roar? (I am a Fire Qilin, usually I enjoy helping others, how can I do such dirty things?)”

Xu Zong, the Fire Qilin, approached Yan Ying with a broad-minded and righteous heart, lowering his head.

“Roar? (Now that you are free, I ask you, do you want to leave here or stay in this cave?)”

Yan Ying was startled.

She actually understood what this monster said?

“Fire Qilin? Are you the auspicious beast Fire Qilin from the legends?”

“Roar? (I became a legend? So, do you want to stay here or go out?)”

“Stay here! I want to stay here!”

Looking at the huge head above her, Yan Ying nodded in fear, not daring to say a word.

“Roar. (This is your own choice, don’t regret it in the future.)”

Xu Zong, the Fire Qilin, nodded in satisfaction. This was Yan Ying’s own choice, and it had nothing to do with him, Xu Zong, the Fire Qilin. He was truly a respected and noble beast!

Thinking like this, he lifted his hoof and walked back into the depths of the cave.

Yan Ying glanced at the monster’s back and secretly glanced at the entrance of the cave.

Although it was only a hundred steps away and seemed easy to get out, she felt a surge of impulse and still didn’t dare to leave.

After all, once she went out, she would still be despised by the martial arts world. The rumors said that the Fire Qilin was an auspicious beast and it could communicate with humans. It didn’t seem to have any intention of harming her. It would be better to hide here and wait for the storm to pass before going out.

Yan Ying muttered to herself and cautiously walked into the depths of the cave.

Moreover, according to the rumors, the Fire Qilin was an auspicious beast. If she encountered any difficulties near the Lingyun Cave, she might receive its help and even have a chance to obtain the legendary treasure, Blood Bodhi. Why not try to find some treasures before leaving?

…………

In the Swallowed Star world.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. After experiencing the Wind & Cloud world, it was already June 10th.

In Europe, the city of Paris, since the destruction of the British Empire in the Great Nirvana, it had become the actual center of Europe, and the headquarters of the HR Alliance was located here.

In the center of this city, several hundred-story tall buildings stood tall, connected by aerial corridors. The area was extremely spacious, with a length and width of over ten thousand meters. The English words “HR Alliance Headquarters” were embedded on each building.

Since the daytime, a large number of luxury cars had been driving into these buildings, and each car was accompanied by a War God-level powerhouse or a representative of a certain force. The reception staff had been busy since the daytime.

As evening approached, a black triangular fighter jet quickly flew in from the sky.

“Hurry, hurry! It’s a Senator-level powerhouse. No one is allowed to make any mistakes in etiquette!”

The leader of the reception team shouted in French and quickly ran towards the direction of the landing pad.

Soon, the plane landed on the landing pad, and the cabin door opened, revealing a well-built black-haired young man.

Seeing this person who seemed to have walked onto the wrong set, the team leader’s heart skipped a beat. He was Senator Xu Zong, the youngest senator in the world, and he was already designated to become the sixth Inspector of the Celestial Level Martial Arts School. He was one of the most important figures tonight!

“Senator Xu, hello, it’s an honor to meet you! Let me guide you!”

He quickly stepped forward, respectfully bowing and speaking fluent Chinese.

Xu Zong nodded.

The team leader handed over the reception task to the deputy team leader and personally led Xu Zong into Building No. 1, taking the glass elevator to the top floor of the building.

Looking down at the city that was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Zong couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Not long ago, he was still amazed by these tall buildings, but now, four months later, he no longer cared about these symbols of wealth and status.

On the top floor of the building, the team leader silently retreated, and Xu Zong was led by the attendant into the banquet hall.

In the spacious top floor hall, the bright lights made it as bright as day. Expensive carpets were laid on the floor, and soft music played in the surroundings. There were social celebrities dressed in exquisite attire everywhere, mingling with each other. Many waiters were carrying trays, moving among the crowd. The entire banquet scene gave a strong impression of luxury.

“Senator Xu, long time no see.”

“Senator Tuoba, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

His arrival attracted the attention of many people. A person walked over with a wine glass, smiling and greeting him.

Xu Zong also smiled and took a glass of golden liquid from a nearby waiter’s tray, clinking glasses with him.

Senator Tuoba was one of the senator powerhouses loyal to China, and Xu Zong had had several contacts with him before, so they got along quite well.

“Senator Tuoba, do you know who this new Celestial Level powerhouse of the HR Alliance is?”

After exchanging pleasantries with him, Xu Zong asked him in a low voice.

“I don’t know either. Atkin has kept this person hidden.”

Senator Tuoba shook his head slightly.

I see.

Xu Zong murmured.

“Hmm?”

Xu Zong’s eyes swept over the people in the hall, and suddenly his gaze froze.

“Excuse me, I see someone I know.”

He apologized to Senator Tuoba and the latter nodded in understanding.

Xu Zong put down his glass and walked towards the corner of the hall.

“I didn’t expect to see you here, Senior Sister Bai.”

In the corner, a woman dressed in white training clothes as usual sat alone, not drinking or talking to anyone, sitting there like a statue, as if lost in thought.

“Xu Zong?”

Bai Zhiwei’s unmoving eyes slightly lifted, focusing on Xu Zong.She gave a slight nod to Xu Zong as a greeting, then withdrew her gaze and fell into a trance again.

The people around her looked at her with a bit of strangeness. Wearing a training suit in such a formal occasion was simply disrespectful to the host. However, due to the aura she exuded, no one dared to disturb her.

“When did Senior Sister Bai become a Celestial Level?”

Xu Zong squinted his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Bai Zhiwei.

Bai Zhiwei’s aura was more than ten times stronger than a few months ago. She was faintly emitting a special magnetic field, which was undoubtedly a characteristic of a Celestial Level powerhouse!

Although it was only the first stage, it was indeed Celestial Level.

Xu Zong didn’t show it on his face, but he felt very strange in his heart.

Bai Zhiwei’s talent was quite good, and she was a genius who ranked in the top thirty in the elite training camp in just two years. But how could she become a Celestial Level so quickly?

Even with the help of Mu Yajing, she had to reach at least the level of a medium War God to use it. Could she become a medium War God in just two months? Could it be that she also used dragon blood, spirit of plants and trees or something?

Bai Zhiwei didn’t speak, it seemed that she didn’t want to talk more about it.

“Were you also invited?”

Xu Zong tentatively asked again.

“…No.”

Bai Zhiwei paused for a while before slowly shaking her head.

“I joined the HR Alliance.”

Xu Zong paused slightly.

Joined the HR Alliance?

“Are you the new offering of the HR Alliance?”

“Yes.”

Bai Zhiwei nodded calmly.

Xu Zong’s eyes slightly drooped. Could it be that Bai Zhiwei was the new subordinate that Atkin had found?

“Didn’t you join the Martial Arts School?”

He tentatively asked again.

“Whoever can help me take revenge, I will help.”

Bai Zhiwei shook her head, not wanting to say more.

“Hey, dear Xu Zong, what interesting topic are you talking about with our new offering?”

Just then, a teasing laughter suddenly came.

A middle-aged man with a lean figure and a short beard on his chin came to their side. He was laughing warmly, as if he was very welcoming.

“Atkin, I was just looking for you.”

Seeing the main person arrive, Xu Zong temporarily put aside Bai Zhiwei. He also smiled and looked at Atkin.

Atkin’s cheek twitched slightly, and his expression became a bit unpleasant.

He was, after all, the only third-stage Celestial Level on Earth, the former fifth Speaker, and the current Speaker of the HR Alliance. How dare this young man call him by his name directly?

“I heard that there is a War God level Mind Teacher in the HR Alliance called Katelan, who is known as the Phantom Demon?”

The words that Xu Zong said made Atkin’s smile freeze on his face.

“Let’s talk over here.”

Atkin smiled and led Xu Zong to a corner where no one was.

“I don’t know how this War God named Katelan offended you?”

“What are you pretending for?”

Xu Zong said with a sarcastic smile.

“Even if Katelan is brave, would he dare to offend me by dealing with my Little Uncle? I don’t believe he doesn’t have a powerful backer behind him.”

“I really didn’t know about this. However, if Katelan has offended you, I can hand him over to you for disposal.”

Atkin’s smile remained unchanged. He looked around and suddenly set up a magnetic field around them, isolating the sound.

“But, as the greatest genius in the history of Earth, aren’t you tempted by Luo Feng’s legacy? The Luo Family might have a lot of Mu Yajing now!”

Xu Zong’s expression changed slightly. He raised his right hand and stroked his chin, seemingly moved by his words.

“How about we cooperate?”

Seeing his expression, Atkin immediately tried to test him with a smile.

“You have a good relationship with the Luo Family. Ask Luo Hua about how much legacy Luo Feng left behind. How about we get all of it secretly and then split it in half?”

Xu Zong suddenly laughed.

He suddenly released his Primal Energy, breaking free from Atkin’s magnetic field, and then snapped his fingers with a “pop”.

Suddenly, an image was projected from the bracelet on Xu Zong’s right hand, directly onto the wall, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

In the image, Atkin took Xu Zong to the corner, then focused on his sinister face, and played out what he had said.

“How about we get all of Luo Feng’s legacy and split it in half?”

Such words were instantly played from the image, causing all the guests present to change their expressions in surprise and disdain. Everyone cast their suspicious and contemptuous gazes at Atkin.

“Xu Zong, you!”

Under those gazes, Atkin was instantly filled with shock and anger.

“Master, there is a call request from Mr. Luo Hua.”

At this moment, a mechanical voice came from the bracelet on Xu Zong’s hand.

“Xu Zong, someone just broke into my house and stole the half piece of the Spirit of Plants and Trees that was kept at home!”
