Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 685 Improvisation.

Shi Lang and the group departed from the woods and headed to the encampment of the Ning Family. The Qiling beast ran along with them, and its aura was enough to scare away the spirit beasts in the region. It saved them a lot of time.

The terran did not speak much during the journey because he was still calculating many things in his mind. It was not the profit he was speculating about but the reasons behind this assassination. He had been a soldier, and it was not new for him to assassinate someone, but his deed's cause must be justified.

At this moment, he was going to stage a heavenly phenomenon and kill four people for the sake of what? The answer was standing. His organization was built on the mental model of the Special Forces. They dwelled in the dark and kept things in check. He needed a few people in the light to make sure that the transition of his work was smooth.

However, the dilemma struck him as if all this was worth it. Shi Lang argued that this world was different from the world of the federation, and he needed to be decisive and do a few unwanted things to get a place in the chain of command.

Shi Lang did not know but had liked this feeling of operating in the shadows. It was not that he did not like to deal with things while being in the light. It was just that staying in the dark allowed him to be ahead of all who might have an underlying objective against him.

The people reached the periphery of the Ning Family encampment, and Cao Shiyan said, "I will head inside the rest and get things going. You must stay ready, and when you notice the people moving, begin that is your queue."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will time it accordingly, but you all need to ensure that you do not drop the ball at the critical moment."

Suddenly, Cao Jian, who had been silent for all this while, said, "Sir, we do not have any backup plan. If we are caught, I hope you can get away and take Xiao Qin. None of you can tell me not to be prepared for the worst."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Do not worry, let alone Xiao Qin. I will not let either of you fall behind. It may seem like I am talking too much, but you will know when the time comes. Now get going."

The five people exchanged glances, and they rushed away. Shi Lang crouched next to Xiao Qin and said, "It looks like we are the only ones left behind, Xiao Qin."

The Qilin beast nodded gently. Her eyes were flickering with a great amount of wisdom. Shi Lang felt that he was captivated by them. He asked, "You are strong enough to advance to the realm of a beast emperor. Why do you hold back?"

Shi Lang was not a fool, and he could sense immense power held back by the Qilin. The beast raised her deer head and cast a gaze in the direction where Xaun Qiling had gone. The terran smiled and said, "For your companion's sake, are you holding back?"

The beast nodded. Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "If fate wishes for it, he may have his chance soon."

Xian Qin released a soft bleat as she rubbed her snout against Shi Lang's shoulder. There was a reason why Shi Lang was so surprised when he saw this beast. Qilins were said to have mastered the five elements, but in combination with that, these guys had another ability.

None of the humans knew if this legend was true, but Qilins had the power to look into a person's future. They could look at one person's future for one time in their lifespan. Shi Lang asked, "Can you look into the future?"

Xiao Qin was shocked and took half a step back. Shi Lang smiled and said, "I do not wish to harm you or to tell my future, but I only wish to confirm if you bowed back to me because you could see my future and that I will help Xuan Qiling."

The terran could perceive the hesitation in her eyes, and just when he was about to drop the topic, the Qilin nodded. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Well, I do not mind. At least you know I am not a bad guy."

The Qilin nodded, and the two silently sat on the ground, leaning against each other. There was still some time for them to take to the skies.

...

Cao Shiyan and the rest arrived at the Ning Family encampment. They did not show any change in their faces. The immortal lords that served under the wings of their siblings were all very lofty and just respected them symbolically.

Cao Shiyan and the rest had discussed the plan many times, and they knew what to do. Xuan Qiling may look like a simpleton, but he was quite clever. All these years, his airheaded behavior was only to keep his brother off his back.

They all came to the tents of their siblings and asked for an audience. They pretended to have come over to help them in the expedition. The elder siblings were not surprised. On the contrary, they treated their younger siblings as fools who did not know the difference between the good and the bad.

They did not know their dark deeds were known to the younger siblings. Cao Shiyan and the rest eagerly took instructions and even asked crucial questions. They weaved a delicate net around their traps.

The instructions were out, and the younger ones left the tents. Shortly after, the elder siblings were served with exquisite spirit beast meat. They all sat in one tent and feasted before the hunt began.

However, suddenly, they found their spiritual energy getting excited. Cao Shiyan and the rest arrived at this time. They saw the situation, and Xuan Qiling exclaimed, "Oh my god, heavens have blessed us all. Big brother, you guys are breaking through. The tribulation must be close. You do not have to worry; we will take you to a lonely place and guard you guys."

The young man acted similarly airheaded and rushed out of the tent to alert the soldiers. The young master of the Ning Family heard this and rushed over with his protector.

Cao Shiyan had told Shi Lang that the protectors would come and stand close to their wards when such a situation arrived. He was only praying that Shi Lang was ready now. They led the four people out of the encampments, and the clouds began to rumble and surge.

Shi Lang did not let them down; he watched the movement, and Xuan Qiling even sent a spiritual message to Xiao Qin that they had begun. The moment the Immortal Emperor's protector appeared next to Young Master Ning, the terran made his move. The four families did have immortal emperors to protect the young Immortal Kings, but with the protection from the top expert of the Ning Family, they did not worry.

Shi Lang observed everything on the ground and said, "Xiao Qin, you must be ready."

The Qilin nodded gently. Shi Lang loved this creature for her gentle nature. However, Qilins were not looked down on because they were calmer and gentler. Even a dragon might be unable to deal with them if they got angry.

Shi Lang channeled a spark of lightning in the clouds, and Xiao Qin manipulated the water vapors to gather and condense. The clouds turned dark, and with the manipulation of the Qilin, they all surged in one direction.

None of the experts could say it was against the climate because heavenly tribulation defied everything to test the people who sought ascension into a higher realm.

In this part that Cao Shiyan had just come up with on the spot, Shi Lang only had to channel his lightning through the clouds so that the Qilin could focus on shooting her lightning at the people below.

This will increase the power of the attack and the chances that the five died. Cao Shiyan was not only calm and clever, but he was ruthless also. He was going to kill everyone, but he did not tell anyone about this. He did not believe that the Ning family would be foolish enough to believe that the tribulation was real.

When the lightning appeared, the four people sat down in a square formation. Shi Lang sighed and mumbled, "Looks like these people are not stupid. Xiao Qin, I am going to do something. I need you to cooperate with me, okay?"

The beast was not sure, but she realized that if the four people were going to combine their efforts and deal with the tribulation. Her attacks will not hold much power until she broke through, and now was not the optimal time to do so.

Shi Lang slapped his chest and coughed up some blood. He intended to make a clone, but the clone was not going to be a regular one. He intended to use a skill that he had never used before. He found this skill when he ascended into an Immortal Lord realm. The lightning spirit clone.
