CHAPTER 710: CHAPTER 345: SISTER’S GUIDANCE (PART 2)

With a swoosh.

The Netherworld suddenly flickered onto the helipad of a building, half-kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with the Ghost Slayer Blade. His black hair was drenched by the mist, and his black trench coat was soaked as well, yet he seemed uninjured.

He was clutching his forehead in pain, seemingly affected by that ancient whisper. The brightly lit city became distorted in his eyes, as if the sky and earth were spinning.

Above the firmament, the enraged face of a gigantic being, appearing both ghostly and godlike.

Only when the towering mushroom cloud dissipated, the night sky was left empty.

No shadow of a person to be seen at all.

The explosion rising into the sky illuminated the top floor of the Miyako Manufacturing Building.

"Fool."

Skylark gazed at the dissipating mushroom cloud in the night sky and snorted with a cold laugh: "Did you really think killing Solomon would be so easy?"

If it were truly possible to kill him, she would have done it already.

She possessed the Authority over Karma, often achieving results akin to Future Vision, usually predicting the outcome before taking action, thus never expending effort on unnecessary things.

"Is that why you didn’t hunt him?"

Gu Jianlin looked at the woman’s stunning silhouette and calmly said: "If you continued to pursue, your identity would be exposed. You don’t want to appear in the public eye prematurely; hiding in the shadows gives you a sense of security. After all, now you’re Sleeping Beauty, occasionally drifting off to sleep."

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re also probing Solomon’s identity. You can currently rule out Jiang Chunyang’s suspicion, and the same goes for the Netherworld and the Think Tank. Though the Dark World worships you, you don’t trust them."

He said expressionlessly: "You’re clearing away mines, including the blood on the blade. Although Ascenders at that level surely have ways to change their blood type or even conceal the genetic information in their blood, you went to great lengths to cut him—a clear indication that you want to do something with his blood."

Skylark glanced at the blood-red ghost knife in her hand, smeared with bright red blood on the blade.

It was quite strange indeed.

The Jiuyin had almost become a weapon shared by two people.

Well, forget about the weapon.

Even people are locked down.

"Not listening, not listening, you old bullfrog."

She turned around irritably, her captivatingly beautiful face reflecting a dreamy charm under the firelight. She hummed lightly: "You now have one last chance. If you don’t call me sister, I won’t teach you."

Gu Jianlin’s face remained stoic and silent.

While they chatted.

Bar was just sitting on the desk, motionless.

It’s not that he didn’t want to move, but his time had been forcibly stopped.

He could see and hear.

Just couldn’t move.

Watched helplessly as this pair showed off their affection beside him.

What the hell are you showing off!

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "Even if you don’t teach me, there are others who can."

The President is his Grandmaster.

And Elder Ji Zhou.

There’s no rush.

"Are you sure?"

Skylark casually gathered her disheveled black hair into a somewhat lazily tied ponytail and smiled: "Don’t forget, we are the same kind. What about them? What applies to them may not be suitable for you. Didn’t the King of Qing rarely guide you hands-on?"

She spoke with meaningful intent: "Weren’t they just creating opportunities for you to grow freely?"

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

"Only I am qualified to teach you in this world."

Skylark raised her pale fingers, poking his chest: "Your good sister."

Can we stop with the good sister thing already.

Hearing those three words almost triggered Gu Jianlin’s stress disorder, and his expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

"King of Qing?"

Bar’s mind flashed with these three words, and a huge fear flickered in his eyes.

He suddenly realized who this person in front of him was!

Qilin!

He inadvertently stumbled upon a huge secret.

Both Qilin and Skylark were present on the Stairway to Immortality, and they just mentioned they were the same kind.

This means they succeeded in completing the evolution!

"Want to send the message out? Save it. I vaguely remember dealing with your kind before; at your level, you’ve joined the unified will but still can’t achieve mental sharing. Even if you could, I can forcibly trace back through Karma and time-space. So, could you stop struggling? Save some strength for the fight later, alright?"

Skylark folded her arms, coldly glancing at him: "Struggle any more, and I’ll kill you!"

Her beautiful eyes flickered with a chilling blood-red hue, then turned to the youth beside her.

"One last, last chance."

She coldly said: "Just three seconds."

Gu Jianlin hesitated for a second, thinking of the curse facing the Gu Family, and the Vermilion Bird Mark on his mother.

Ultimately sighed: "Sister."

When these two words left his mouth, he felt his bottom line collapse.

Even his character setting crumbled.

Skylark hummed in satisfaction, a trace of joy and pride flashing in her enigmatic, alluring eyes.

In fact, she didn’t know why she had such a strange obsession.

She just wanted to tease this young man fiercely whenever she saw him.

"Alright, Taihua should have taught you that the most important thing in the Heavenly Person Realm is belief; it’s the path she walked on her own. Even I have to respect that. As a human, she always upheld her belief with an iron will. She’s proud to even deny fate. Therefore, she’s so powerful."
