Chapter 483: 483

In the Capital City.

Lin Tiance, Li Yanran and others had been closely monitoring Lin Dong’s situation.

Originally, Lin Tiance was able to retreat for cultivation two days earlier.

But because he wanted to see the outcome of the Second Order, he postponed his time for seclusion.

When the Martial Arts Dark Web announced the result of the Second Order, Lin Tiance’s face showed some disappointment.

Although he had bet on Lin Dong being killed by the Gu King himself in the Fourth Order, he would have been happy to see Lin Dong killed earlier by the Snake Woman and the Scorpion King.

"I truly didn’t expect that, even with the Snake Woman and the Scorpion King joining forces, they would not be a match for Lin Dong. Lin Dong’s martial arts strength, I’m afraid, could place him in the top twenty of the Dragon Rankings!" Mr. Shuijing sighed.

He felt it was a pity, as he had bet tens of millions on the Second Order.

Now that the results were out, that tens of millions were as good as thrown into the water.

He had thought he could make a profit, who would have known he would lose his original investment as well? Indeed, nine out of ten bets lead to loss!

"It’s indeed somewhat unexpected," Lin Tiance said as well, "Next, we will see what comes of the Hades Order’s Third Order."

"Only, on the Martial Arts Dark Web this time, the Gu King did not specify who he would send. But I guess it might be Granny Gu."

Upon hearing the name Granny Gu, Mr. Shuijing’s face changed slightly, his eyes showing thick fear.

That was an extremely terrifying existence, to the point that the mere mention of her name made someone of Mr. Shuijing’s caliber apprehensive.

"Granny Gu, who is she?"

Li Yanran asked curiously from the side, inexperienced in the ways of the world and unaware of who Granny Gu was.

"Granny Gu is the Gu King’s lover, a very mysterious person. In the Hall of the Dark King, the only ones who can fight her are those at the level of the Five Elders."

"She once assassinated an expert who was at the pinnacle of Explosive Qi Master and ranked thirteenth in the Dragon Rankings!"

Hearing Lin Tiance’s account, Li Yanran’s face changed slightly, "She actually killed someone ranked thirteenth in the Dragon Rankings!"

"The Hall of the Dark King truly has a profound base," Lin Tiance laughingly said, "Otherwise, how could they dare to challenge entities like the War Department or Longmen?"

"Alright, from today I am beginning my seclusion!"

"I will strive to reach the Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse, and within half a year, make it into the top ten of the Dragon Rankings!"

"If Lin Dong doesn’t die this time, then after half a year, I, Lin Tiance, will take action personally..."

Li Yanran and Mr. Shuijing nodded one after another.

Before preparing for his seclusion, Lin Tiance left instructions for the two of them.

"Yanran, Mr. Shuijing, while I am in seclusion, look after Qiao Xue!"

"You must not let Qiao Xue run away. Worse still, you cannot let her have contact with other men, her virginity, must not be taken by anyone else... what I am stressing is Lin Dong. Absolutely do not let Lin Dong have contact with Qiao Xue, nor let her know that Lin Dong is Master Lin!"

After interacting with Qiao Xue for a few days, Lin Tiance realized that she had been misunderstanding him to be Master Lin.

Lin Tiance could also see that her heart was set on Master Lin. She regarded Master Lin as the prince of her dreams, a gallant hero who had rescued her on several occasions.

And Lin Dong was Master Lin, if Qiao Xue discovered the truth, she might call off the engagement.

This was something Lin Tiance would never allow to happen!

He had to have Qiao Xue’s virginity.

After he broke through to the Half-Step Earth Realm upon coming out of his half-year seclusion and defeated Lin Dong, he needed to use Qiao Xue’s body to suppress the strange disease in his body.

Otherwise, even if he defeated Lin Dong, he wouldn’t live long!

Li Yanran felt conflicted. From her perspective, Lin Tiance was undoubtedly a scum man who was tricking someone into marriage.

But this was her cousin, whom she had admired since she was a child, and they shared blood ties. Their Li Family also depended on the support of this cousin of hers.

So no matter how reluctant she was deep inside, she could only follow his orders.

"Yes, cousin. I will protect Qiao Xue, not let her have contact with other men! Nor will I let her know that Lin Dong is Master Lin!"

Li Yanran said through gritted teeth.

"Okay."

With that said, Lin Tiance left to find his master, King Kunlun, and begin his retreat.

...

In a cave in the Southwest.

The Gu King arrived at the entrance of this cave.

"Our son Hong Yi has been killed!" the Gu King said to the cave.

No sooner had these words been spoken than a roar came from the cave, followed by a rumbling noise as the entire cave collapsed.

From out of the collapsing cave, amidst billows of dust and sand, emerged a gigantic black snake.

Atop the black snake stood a tiny old crone that resembled a mummy and was less than one and a half meters tall.

Her body was entwined with a plethora of poisonous snakes.

This person was the Gu King’s former lover Granny Gu, and also the biological mother of Hong Yi, who had been killed by Lin Dong.

Her voice was hoarse and mournful as she cried out, "Who is it, who killed Yi’er?"

"You old thing, why didn’t you protect him well?"

The Gu King’s face showed shame, saying, "The one who killed Yi’er is a man called Lin Dong. He is in Jiangnan Province, Jianghai City, a young Sect Master of only twenty years old."

"Why haven’t you taken revenge for Yi’er?" Granny Gu then loudly demanded.

The Gu King sighed, "I’ve already sent my sixth adopted son, the Blood Silkworm Young Master, the third adopted daughter, the Snake Woman, and the second adopted son, the Scorpion King to kill him. But none were successful; instead, they were killed by him in return!"

"This man is a prodigy bestowed by heaven!"

"To kill my son, I care not if he is a prodigy bestowed by heaven; he must be shattered into ten thousand pieces!" Granny Gu screamed towards the heavens.

She then set off immediately, heading for Jianghai...
