Chapter 28: Inheriting Di Qing Lin’s legacy
“Ding! Congratulations to master for obtaining a syndicate inheritance card, a character legacy card and a fragment of the ‘great villain halo’.”
As the system spoke, Murong Lin listened in interest.
“Syndicate inheritance card: Upon use, master will obtain all characters within an influential force.
Character legacy card: Inherits the character card’s legacy, which includes their cultivation techniques, spiritual skills, servants and their innate talents, etc.
‘Great villain halo’ fragment: Can be turned into the ‘Great villain halo’ by collecting six fragments.”
Looking at the items in the gift bag, Murong Lin realised that the rewards were similar to the last, with the only exception of the strength-instilling card that was switched to the syndicate inheritance card.
“Anti, use the character legacy card.”
“Ding! Congratulations to master for using the syndicate inheritance card! Congratulations to master for obtaining Di Qing Lin’s Legacy!
The hereditary successor, Di Qing Lin, was a character in 《Parting Hook》. He seemed to be a free spirit with boundless generosity, but he was actually a scheming, apathetic person. In all his appearances, he was seen wearing a white outfit while being accompanied by a different beauty each time. He never had friends, servants, lovers, or even a family. He was completely unpredictable, killing his own master after gaining strength, and was known to retaliate tenfold against any betrayals he experienced. He only had a paring knife and a heart that was colder than steel.
The inheritable legacy:
Equipment: Nameless paring knife
Innate talent: Wrathful, selfish.”
En? Di Qing Lin?
Murong Lin could faintly recall such a character written by Mister Gu, Di Qing Lin wasn’t extraordinarily strong, but he was definitely ruthless.
He was quite strong under the tutelage of his master, and he was effective and creative in killing, someone that was capable of going to extreme lengths to assassinate his targets, even if they were in the toilet. After his master had revealed the success of his cultivation technique, he stabbed him to death, and after a woman, someone he was physically intimate with, found out about his secret, he also stabbed her to death. He was careful, even with his allies, murdering and torturing them without a shred of hesitance the moment he felt something was amiss.
Di Qing Lin was such a person, someone regarded as a kind gentleman by the world, not knowing the countless amounts of blood that stained his paring knife. He wasn’t as charming as Fang Yi Kan, but he was definitely more vicious.
No one could understand him.
He was mysterious and callous.
However……
“Anti, why didn’t I inherit any cultivation methods from him?” Murong Lin asked with a displeased expression, he was greedy for Di Qing Lin’s self-created 72-Candle Severing Art that took eleven tries to succeed.
“Ding! Anti doesn’t know.”
Hearing Anti’s cold response, Murong Lin helplessly chose to accept the legacy as he checked the innate talent.
“Wrathful, selfish: Absolute rationality and indifference, superior talent for the way of the knife.
“Oh? That’s not too bad, it counts as an innate talent for the way of the knife, right?”
“Nameless paring knife: A paring knife forged with the refined material derived from demonic swords, capable of killing without leaving blood and wounds on the corpse. It contains a shred of an ego that can be evolved by killing, currently, it is a spiritual artifact at the higher Earth level.”
“Oh? This isn’t too bad.” Murong Lin looked at the knife in his hands as his spiritual powers lit up the blade, it was incomparably sharp.
“Anti, open the syndicate inheritance card.”
Murong Lin was excited to see what it was.
Despite already having the Blood Spirits and the thirteen servants, he enjoyed having more servants than fewer.
“Ding! Congratulations to master for inheriting the syndicate: Qing Yi Tower.
It is a tower with a hundred and eight floors, with a hundred and eight people on each level. All of them were extremely mysterious, their faces had never been revealed before. Some of them could be wanderers, some could be untraceable assassins, some could be government officials, and some could be roadside shop owners. All of their identities are hidden, and they were all obedient only to the floor masters.
Strength: The hundred and eight floor masters are in the Manifestation realm, and their subordinates are within the Origin realm. The strongest are the 8 ninth layer Manifestation realm floor masters.”
“Fuck! Qing Yi Tower? The Qing Yi Tower written by Mister Gu?” Murong Lin was stunned, the prestige of the Qing Yi Tower was equivalent to the Qing Long organisation, and both were considered to be extremely mysterious.
It was a pity that the person that had created the Qing Yi Tower wasn’t strong.
However, the Qing Yi Tower was definitely one of the most horrifying organisations out there, due to its absolute secretiveness. With their unique disguise technique and the absolute silence instilled upon every member, they had developed the hundred-and-eight floors of the Qing Yi Tower to become one of the strongest assassination organisations.
“Anti, how do I summon them?” MUrong Lin asked.
“After master summoned them, they will randomly appear in the 32 counties of Yan, master will not have to worry about their large numbers being too conspicuous.”
“That’s good. Right, can the disguise techniques of the Qing Yi Tower be used to falsify a Manifestation transformation?”
“Yes! The Manifestation transformation of the Manifestation realm experts in the Qing Yi Towers is ‘Qing Yi’. They are able to take on the Manifestation transformations of the Manifestation realm experts they have killed. While they are unable to exert the 100% might of the original Manifestation transformation, 70-80% will not be a problem.”
“Then that’s great!” Murong Lin thought of his plan, and now with the numbers and disguise techniques of the Qing Yi Tower, he could finally complete his plan and begin his execution!
“Hahahaha! Anti, I want to buy a mortal form and enter the Manifestation realm!” Murong Lin laughed madly. He now had a villain value of 340, it was finally time to buy a mortal form he could accept.
“Which one does master want to buy?” Anti asked.New n𝙤vel chapters are published on
Murong Lin’s eyes were squinted, “The mortal form of the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’.”
“Ding! Congratulations to master for purchasing the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’ mortal form with 200 villain value. Master now has the remaining value of 140.”
A small, transparent bottle the size of a thumb materialised in front of Murong Lin. He could see a black orb of air contained in the bottle, slowly orbiting as the rippling lines within it resembled the Great Three Thousand Daos. It was mysterious, and it contained an unsurpassable might.
“Flowering Steel Trees, guard me!” Murong Lin spoke to the duo that was in the carriage with him.
“Yes!” The ‘Flowering Steel Trees’ responded respectfully.
“I will break through to the Manifestation realm today!” Murong Lin looked at the bottle in his hands. The moment he shattered the bottle, the orb of black air flew towards Murong Lin’s forehead, with traces of black air escaping the orb and entering his body slowly.
Murong Lin closed his eyes as he circulated the 《Lifelessness Law》, feeling his strength changing and increasing.
While 《Lifelessness Law》 wasn’t the greatest cultivation technique in the world, it definitely had enough potential. Additionally, It was also extremely compatible with the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’ mortal form. However, under normal circumstances, the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’ was a creature that lived in voids, an existence that was rare to see even in tens of thousands of years. It was a formless, lifeless being that was impervious to all kinds of techniques, and was known as an evil creature that eroded the minds of the living.
In the Nan Yue continent, Murong Lin hadn’t heard of such a creature before. Therefore, he had no choice but to buy it from the system shop.
As the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’ slowly assimilated with Murong Lin’s body, the speed at which he cultivated the 《Lifelessness Law》 also increased. The spiritual power that circulated quickly in his body felt as if it was about to condense into a liquid form, comfortably gliding through the veins in his entire body.
The red colour spiritual power on Murong Lin’s body changed as well, its colourful glow beautifully illuminating the inside of the carriage. As it continued to orbit around Murong Lin, it slowly merged into a black colour, losing its colourful and bright glow. It gradually gravitated towards his nose and mouth, entering his body as he breathed before completely disappearing from the carriage.
Luckily, with the ‘Flowering Steel Trees’ guarding the carriage from within, they had covered the entire area with their spiritual powers, shielding the sight of Murong Lin’s cultivation advancement from any onlookers.
After placing the ‘Evil of lifelessness, lawlessness and formlessness’ safely within his spiritual sea, Murong Lin’s aura settled down gradually.
As he breathed, his strength was steadily increasing!
