Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 345 - 276 Preparation

Chapter 345: Chapter 276 Preparation

On the outskirts of New Ke City’s estate.

Great Bright Buddha propped up his chin and said, "You want to make your move while Lin Xing and the swordswoman are in martial arts combat? Aren’t you afraid of exposing us to the current world’s nations? And aren’t you scared Lin Xing will lose control?"

Xingxiao looked at Great Bright Buddha and said, "That’s why I need your help to conceal our actions when we make our move."

Great Bright Buddha murmured thoughtfully, "How long?"

"One minute," Xingxiao said. "Besides subduing Lin Xing, we also need to stage the scene to make it look like the swordswoman knocked out Lin Xing."

...

Inside the hotel.

Bai Mei looked at Xingxiao and said, "You’re planning to take action on the martial arts battlefield with so many people watching..."

Xingxiao said, "Great Bright Buddha will cut off the internet and all recording devices and will cast an Illusion of the Heart. The countries of the current world won’t know we made a move, they’ll only believe Lin Xing was knocked out by the swordswoman."

After a moment’s thought, Bai Mei asked, "What’s in it for me?"

Xingxiao smiled and said, "Haven’t you always wanted something from Lin Xing’s memory? I’ll have someone from Taiqing Sect help extract the memories you want."

"Besides, from the benefits discussed at the Great Conference of the Two Realms, I’ll give an extra ten percent share to Emei."

Bai Mei inquired, "Just for sealing off the battlefield?"

Xingxiao nodded, "Exactly, but you must deploy at least three Divine Swords of Emei and seal off the battlefield with a Sword Array to prevent Lin Xing from escaping."

After pondering for a moment, Bai Mei said, "The things you’re offering... are not enough."

Xingxiao laughed, "Then I’ll include some information—Lin Xing has already stepped into the Third Legacy."

Seeing jealousy in Bai Mei’s eyes, Xingxiao continued, "In two months, when the great changes of heaven and earth take place, I can share a portion of his root bone with you. Is that enough now?"

...

On an island.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader shattered the waves in front of him with a punch, saying, "Am I hearing this right? You want to join forces with me to go against a youngster like Lin Xing?"

Xingxiao said, "Lin Xing has already advanced into the Third Legacy."

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader’s gaze sharpened, "Are you joking?"

Xingxiao replied coolly, "I’m not fond of jokes."

As he spoke, he had already taken something out from his bosom.

Looking at the crystal-clear, ruby-like object in Xingxiao’s hand, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader’s eyes bulged, "Is that..."

Xingxiao said, "When I make my move, you and Yun Hezi attack him together. If you’re willing, this piece of Dragon Crystal is yours."

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader exclaimed, "The three of us strong fighters banding together still need to ambush him?"

He laughed heartily, "I like it."

Xingxiao corrected, "Not three..."

...

Inside the hospital.

Ma Hong lay on the hospital bed, looking awkwardly at Xingxiao.

He couldn’t understand why such a prominent figure would come to visit him.

Just then, a shadow spread rapidly in the sickroom, and the Great Elder of Zhou Tian Sect’s body passed through the sickroom walls, appearing behind Xingxiao.

As Xingxiao peeled an apple, he casually said, "Help me block Shi Lin Temple during tomorrow’s martial display, don’t let them intervene."

The Zhou Tian Sect Great Elder replied coldly, "Xingxiao, you do not command Zhou Tian Sect."

Xingxiao continued, "I know you share an irreconcilable enmity with Shi Lin Temple."

"This Heartless Talisman, obtained from the descendants of Heartless Elder, can block the Divine Skills of Shi Lin Temple for you."

...

Atop a skyscraper.

The wild wind howled fiercely.

Gu She Fairy looked at the night view of the city below and asked, "Tomorrow?"

Xingxiao said, "Tomorrow, I want your help to suppress the mortals at the scene, and also to create a substitute of Lin Xing for the battle."

"The substitute doesn’t need to be very resilient, managing a day should suffice."

"After the deed is done, I can share all of Lin Xing’s memories with you, how about it?"

Gu She Fairy looked at him and said, "I don’t need his memories."

"After subjugating him, he must be handed over to me along with the Reincarnation Platform for three months."

Xingxiao frowned and said, "Three months is too long, seven days at most."

Gu She Fairy promptly said, "Enough."

Xingxiao glanced at her, feeling like he might have offered too much time; he then added, "During those seven days, I must remain by his side to ensure he doesn’t lose control."

Gu She Fairy laughed, "No problem."

...

At the martial arts training ground.

The swordswoman looked at the sword light in her hand while continuously recalling the battle between the girl in black and Xingxiao from a video in her mind.

Particularly, the sword techniques and the sword energy of the girl in black gave her an exceptional insight. She felt herself drawing closer and closer to the great accomplishment of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword, as if she was just one step away from the threshold.

But having gone without food, drink, rest, or sleep to grasp that missing insight during the day and night, she still couldn’t make the breakthrough.

At that moment, footsteps sounded not far behind her.

Without turning her head, the swordswoman sensed the identity of the comer, "Xingxiao? What brings you here?"

With her cultivation growing stronger day by day, the swordswoman’s five senses had become increasingly sharp. Now, without using her eyes, she could sense the subtle changes throughout the martial arts training ground.

Xingxiao looked at the swordswoman’s back and said, "Regarding tomorrow’s martial display..."

The swordswoman whirled around, her body emanating strands of sword light.

"You want me to purposefully lose to Lin Xing?" she asked Xingxiao excitedly. "If you fight a round with me today, I might consider it."

After seeing the battle between Xingxiao and the girl in black, her interest in the two had far surpassed that of Lin Xing.

She felt that an opportunity to spar with them would definitely help her fully comprehend the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword and advance into the Third Legacy.

Xingxiao looked at her and said, "You don’t need to purposefully lose to Lin Xing. I hope that in tomorrow’s martial arts display, you’ll use your full strength to defeat Lin Xing and let the world know the gap in extraordinary power between the current world and the Mirror World."

"However..." Xingxiao sighed. "I’m afraid you’re far from being a match for Lin Xing now."

The swordswoman frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What are you trying to say?"

Xingxiao stated flatly, "Did you know that Lin Xing has already preceded you in stepping into the Third Legacy?"

Seeing a change in the swordswoman’s expression and the fighting spirit ignite in her eyes, Xingxiao went on, "Lin Xing has not even been cultivating for a year, while how long have you spent to reach this step today?"

"Now being surpassed by him in breaking through to the Third Legacy, I fear you’ll find it difficult to catch up to him in this lifetime."

While speaking, Xingxiao had already come beside the swordswoman, whispering to her, "If you want to break through to the Third Legacy and defeat Lin Xing tomorrow, I have a way."

"The key to the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword lies in the cultivator’s heart perception."

"Your eyes, they’re superfluous."

"I was thinking of helping you remove one to assist your breakthrough."

"But perhaps one isn’t enough."
