#505 - “Serve” as an elder?
“It wasn’t me, it was my master who killed him.”
Without a doubt, Wei Changtian’s words greatly shocked the remnant soul once again.
You should know that although not all members of Kui Long are top-notch experts, they all possess the potential to reach at least the Third Rank, with the hope of breaking through to the Second Rank.
After all, the purpose of such an organization is to find a way to break through the First Rank, so the required “test subjects” must at least be able to reach the late Second Rank.
Therefore, no member of Kui Long is easy to kill.
Moreover, it was a Kui Long Elder.
Even if this person has not yet grown up, since he holds the position of Elder, he should rarely put himself in danger.
“...”
“Who is your master? Where is he now?”
After a long while, the remnant soul finally asked slowly, “Are you sure your master is not a member of Kui Long?”
“I’m sure.”
Nodding, Wei Changtian replied quickly, “However, as for who he is and where he is now, I don’t think that’s important.”
“Senior only needs to know that the token is now in my hands.”
“...”
“Forget it.”
Seeing that Wei Changtian was unwilling to speak, the remnant soul didn’t ask any further, “In short, I’ve said everything I need to say, and you know everything you want to know, just throw away that token as soon as possible.”
“Hmm?”
Although the remnant soul was unwilling to say more, Wei Changtian was relentless.
“Senior, you haven’t answered my question just now.”
“...”
If the remnant soul was not hidden in the Xuantian Sword at this moment, but had a physical body, it would definitely roll its eyes.
“Fifty years.”
“...”
“One hundred years, forget it if you’re not willing.”
“Cough!”
“Well, since you want to know so much, it wouldn’t hurt for me to say a little more.”
“...”
Alright, this remnant soul is also a guy with no bottom line.
Wei Changtian cursed in his heart, and soon heard the remnant soul explain:
“Those who are Kui Long Elders generally do not find themselves in dangerous situations, so deaths are rare.”
“Even if it really happens, their identity is unlikely to be exposed.”
“After all, there are not many people in the world who know about Kui Long, and ordinary people would not know what it is even if they obtained the token.”
“Moreover, the token needs to be used with special techniques to transmit messages, and only the people of the Elders Council understand this technique, so there is no possibility of someone impersonating them.”
“So, if the situation you mentioned really occurs, the result must be that this Elder will lose contact from then on.”
“And if an Elder misses two consecutive Elders Council meetings, he will be expelled from the Elders Council, and one person will be randomly selected from all Kui Long members to fill the vacancy.”
“Boy, do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
Nodding, Wei Changtian finally understood the operating rules of the Elders Council.
So...
Since “he” can still receive messages, it means that he has not missed two “Elders Council meetings” and still retains the qualifications of a Kui Long Elder.
Becoming an Elder of perhaps the most awesome organization in the world... if this were true, it would undoubtedly be awesome.
But unfortunately, Wei Changtian knew that this was not true.
Not to mention that he didn’t know how to use the Kui Long token to transmit messages at all.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t really do anything.
Because, just like the remnant soul said, it’s better not to get involved in this kind of thing.
Now he and Kui Long are keeping out of each other’s way, and he can even occasionally use the latter’s power to do things through the remnant soul.
But if he impersonates someone to “attend a meeting”, it would be fine if he wasn’t discovered, but once he was discovered...
Hiss...
Being hunted down by Kui Long, Wei Changtian really couldn’t imagine what that scene would be like.
“...”
Thinking of this, he slowly stood up, preparing to ask Chu Xianping to find a place to throw away the token when he turned around, as if nothing had happened.
“Senior, I will properly dispose of the token.”
“Thank you for reminding me.”
“Hmph, you’re a smart kid.”
The remnant soul snorted lightly, quite satisfied with Wei Changtian’s understanding, “Knowing your own weight is a rare advantage.”
“Thank you for your praise, Senior.”
Cupping his hands, Wei Changtian was too lazy to argue with the remnant soul, and only asked one more question casually at the end.
“By the way, Senior, isn’t Kui Long not allowed to interfere in secular power struggles? Then what important matters are there to discuss in this Elders Council?”
“Naturally, it is to find a way to break through the First Rank.”
The remnant soul also replied casually, “It is estimated that someone has found some important clues, which need to be decided by the Elders Council.”
“Oh.”
Nodding indifferently, Wei Changtian’s expression was not very concerned.
He is only at the Third Rank now, and it is still too early to break through to the First Rank.
Although these things can be prepared in advance, the risk is too great, and there is really no need to take risks.
“Senior, I will send a few more death row prisoners over later...”
Shaking his sleeves, Wei Changtian turned around and prepared to go out and let Chu Xianping arrange the death row prisoners.
However, just as he took a few steps away, he suddenly stopped in place as if he had been cast with a body-fixing spell.
His expression changed from relaxed to solemn, and then to a frown.
More than ten breaths later, when Wei Changtian slowly turned his head back, his face had become extremely serious.
He only stared at the Xuantian Sword, and then asked slowly word by word:
“Senior...”
“Do you know how to use that jade token to transmit messages?”
From being indifferent and staying out of the matter, to obviously preparing to take risks.
The sudden change in Wei Changtian’s mentality naturally had a reason.
And that reason is... Qin Zhengqiu.
Yes.
Although it was only a guess, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that Kui Long’s “high-level meeting” this time was very likely aimed at Qin Zhengqiu.
After all, the power displayed by the move “One Sword Slaying Three Thousand Soldiers” had greatly exceeded the scope of the Second Rank.
As for whether it has reached the level of the First Rank or not...
Wei Changtian has never seen a First Rank make a move, but he has seen descriptions in 《Martial Arts Great Pinnacle》.
【...I saw Xiao Feng standing on the top of the mountain, like another scorching sun, with just one sword, he submerged Li Huaizhong and Wu Ding, as well as several Third Rank masters, in the golden light.】
【In the next moment, the original majestic momentum of the few people turned into nothing in an instant, and then cut off all vitality, the speed was so fast that there was not even a wail.】
This passage is from the final battle scene of the original book.
At that time, Xiao Feng had just broken through to the First Rank, and then killed Li Huaizhong and Wu Ding, two Second Ranks, and several Third Ranks with one sword.
Well...
One sword to kill two Second Ranks and several Third Ranks.
One sword to kill three thousand lower Third Ranks.
Analyzing from the general combat power comparison of this world, the former is indeed slightly more difficult to achieve.
But this does not mean that Qin Zhengqiu’s sword is weak.
On the contrary, that sword, even if it is not the First Rank, has definitely been infinitely close to the First Rank.
More importantly, there were too many eyewitnesses at that time...
So it is impossible for Kui Long not to know about what happened that night, and they will never let Qin Zhengqiu go.
They will definitely use all means to find out why Qin Zhengqiu was able to do all this.
And once they investigate in detail, they will most likely find themselves...
“...”
Fuck!!!
ps: Seeing many people asking, I will say it by the way.
There is no book called 《Martial Arts Great Pinnacle》, don’t look for it anymore.
