Chapter 925: Chapter 925 Technique of Qi Observation

To resolve Pang Tai’s doubts, Wang Chen had no choice but to recount his own, or rather, Ling Zhiyuan’s life story.

In fact, his identity had long been recorded in the files of the Blood Cloak Guard, and there was no need to hide anything.

After listening to Wang Chen, Pang Tai showed a look that said, “As I suspected,” “It’s quite possible, but Ling Zhiyuan…”

This General Flag spoke in a deep voice, “Without concrete evidence, we Blood Cloak Guard cannot convict solely based on speculation. I hope you understand this.”

Let alone the fact that no living captives were taken this time, even if one were caught, it would be impossible to extract the truth from an assassin’s mouth.

Because these assassins were only carrying out their missions, and as for who wanted Wang Chen dead, they simply could not possibly know!

Without direct evidence and testimony, the Linjiang Defense Area could at most report this case to the Prefecture City Defense Area, but could not take it upon themselves to go to Anyang City and accuse Ling Hongfeng of wrongdoing.

Pang Tai’s words had their foundation.

Although the Blood Cloak Guard are directly under the power of the Great Liang Royal Family and can be considered soldiers for the Emperor’s personal use, their authority is strictly limited.

In history, the Blood Cloak Guard once held overwhelming power, which nearly destabilized the foundation of the nation.

The Blood Cloak Guard even faced the prospect of being disbanded.

With such a lesson learned, today’s Blood Cloak Guard can neither afford nor dare to overstep their bounds easily.

“But if you want to reclaim your position as Family Head…”

Pang Tai changed the subject abruptly, “I can actually help you with that.”

Don’t just look at Pang Tai as a General Flag, and even though Anyang City is separated from Linjiang City by a province and thousands of miles, he has many ways to deal with Ling Hongfeng.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Wang Chen said respectfully, “But I have sworn to seek justice myself, to comfort the spirit of my father in heaven!”

If he wanted to use the power of the Blood Cloak Guard, he could have sought the help of Wei Zhengxiong before.

Wei Zhengxiong, after all, is a Head of the Hundred Households, with much higher status and power than Pang Tai.

This cause and effect, Wang Chen had to resolve himself!

“Hmm.”

Pang Tai nodded slightly, “That’s also good.”

He quickly moved past this topic and said sternly, “Now, with rebel factions rampant and heretical sects causing trouble, with the Hidden Dragon Hall stirring the waters, our Blood Cloak Guard bear a great responsibility. Remember to preserve your lives, to serve and be faithful to Great Liang and the Emperor!”

All the Junior Flags responded in unison, “We are willing to die for the Emperor!”

“Very good.”

Pang Tai said to Wang Chen, “Ling Zhiyuan, you must also be extra careful and ideally avoid going out alone. If the Hidden Dragon Hall failed to assassinate you this time, they might send an even stronger expert next time.”

It is said that when the Hidden Dragon Hall takes on assassination tasks, they believe in the principle of ‘third time’s the charm.’

They strike thrice, and if all three attempts fail to kill the target, they refund twice the fee to their employer.

And the strength of the assassins dispatched by the Hidden Dragon Hall would only get stronger and stronger!

The looks in the eyes of several Junior Flags toward Wang Chen now contained a hint of pity.

Being targeted by the Hidden Dragon Hall was nothing good; despite Wang Chen’s talent, he was but a sixteen-year-old teenager with limited cultivation and strength. He might have avoided assassination this time, but next time he might not be so fortunate.

Pang Tai knew this very well too, and after some thought, he said, “For the time being, don’t stay outside, and there’s no need to go out on missions unless necessary. I will report to the prefecture and then make a decision.”

If Wang Chen were assassinated by the Hidden Dragon Hall, he, as a General Flag, would be held responsible.

“Yes.”

Wang Chen felt somewhat helpless but couldn’t defy Pang Tai’s decision and had to agree.

The next morning, Wang Chen moved back to reside in the Defense Area.

However, since he was now a Junior Flag, his welfare and treatment had significantly improved, and the living conditions provided by the Defense Area were much better than before.

Thus, his normal cultivation training wasn’t affected.

And on the third evening after his promotion to Junior Flag, a striking piece of information suddenly flashed across his vision.

[Fate +7]

Wang Chen’s Fate points had surged from 3 to 7 in an instant.

Not only that, the panel silently added a skill slot, and an additional skill appeared within it.

Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)

Age: 16

Cultivation Level: Martial General

Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheel (Swallowing Thief): 137/400

Skill: Technique of Qi Observation

Potential: 15

Fate: 10

The new skill was called “Technique of Qi Observation,” but there were no experience points behind it, clearly indicating that it could not be upgraded.

Wang Chen tried to activate this newly added skill.

Potential -1

One point of his potential points was immediately consumed.

As a result, Wang Chen quietly waited for a moment, but nothing happened, and his body didn’t feel any different.

Could it be?

After pondering, Wang Chen immediately went to the bedroom and looked at himself in the silver mirror placed on the table.

The silver mirror was exquisitely made, reflecting his image as clearly as the mirrors from Wang Chen’s past life; he immediately noticed something unusual.

Above Wang Chen’s head, there faintly appeared a pale column of qi, exhibiting a grayish-white color.

Wang Chen instantly had an epiphany—the column represented his fate in this world!

Without a doubt, his fate was profoundly connected to his identity, and the 7 points of fate he had recently gained were unquestionably due to his promotion to Junior Flag.

Wang Chen speculated that if he were to lose this position, his fate would instantly revert to its original state!

On the other hand, his decision to join the Blood Cloak Guard system had undoubtedly been the right choice.

Only by joining the system could one share in its fate.

Would he still be able to obtain fate if he didn’t choose this path?

Wang Chen believed it was possible.

But it would certainly be much harder and definitely not as easy as it was now!

This made Wang Chen even more resolute and confident about climbing higher within the Blood Cloak Guard system, dedicating more time daily within the Defense Area to practice diligently, devoting more time to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheel and accumulating potential points.

It was almost ten days later that feedback from the Prefecture City came regarding the assassination incident at Spring Moon Tower.

Firstly, Wang Chen received another small reward for having killed six Hidden Dragon Hall assassins at Spring Moon Tower that day.

Additionally, Wang Chen was awarded a set of covertly crafted inner armor.

It was said that this inner armor came from the Imperial Palace, specifically designed and crafted for the elite warriors of the Blood Cloak Guard, impenetrable to blades and resistant to forceful qi—truly top-notch soft armor.

Valued at over a thousand taels of silver!

Such rewards were not common, and even Pang Tai expressed his envy.

The value of the secret inner armor was one thing, but what was key was the evident recognition and appreciation for Wang Chen, the young prodigy, not wanting to see him fall prematurely.

In the following days, Wang Chen continued his quiet cultivation within the Defense Area.

Meanwhile, Linjiang City remained peaceful; the Yellow Lotus Sect did not show itself again, and it seemed that the Hidden Dragon Hall had also given up on assassinating Wang Chen, with no new killers arriving.

But Wang Chen did not let his guard down.

In fact, a shadow always loomed in his mind, keeping him vigilant at all times.

Even within the Defense Area, he did not allow himself the slightest relaxation or negligence.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had gone by.
