697 Golden Bow and Silver Arrows

The silver-gray car continued on its path in the night.

Ling Yun ended the boring small talk in no time. "How did Chen Jianwei obtain a powerful sword like the Dark Storm?"

Unfortunately, Paul and Chester weren't able to answer him since they had never seen Chen Jianwei with the sword. They couldn't believe that Chen Jianwei managed to obtain the sword either.

"It looks like the Chen Family must be rather influential in the United States as well…" Ling Yun muttered thoughtfully.

Ling Yun would never believe that Chen Jianwei could bring back such a scary sword by himself.

However, this was no longer important. The sword was now in Ling Yun's possession.

"I bet he must be hating himself right now… Hehe…"

That was without question. It was even more painful than losing his own life.

However, Chen Jianwei would definitely have been split in half if he didn't block Ling Yun's move with it. Chen Jianwei exchanged the sword for his life.

"Why didn't he give you The Embrace with this sword then? Could he not have wanted you two to become his loyal servants?"

Ling Yun sprung his second question in no time.

"Boss, he didn't dare to. Really. No ordinary member of the Blood Clan would dare to do such a thing. This is akin to committing suicide. They would be attacked by the overwhelming soul power deep within the sword…" Chester replied.

"I didn't feel my soul being attacked," Ling Yun replied, baffled.

"Boss, that's because your soul power and blood power are even more overwhelming than King Dinast's… You are the jinx of all members of the Blood Clan…" Paul explained with a smile.

F*ck! Ling Yun suddenly thought of something. "Why did you get me to give you The Embrace if you knew the soul of Dinast would attack me?" He asked in contempt.

"No, it's not what you think, Boss. You're not part of the Blood Clan. That sword is just an ordinary sword in the hands of a human. Its powers only work on the Blood Clan…" Chester explained hurriedly.

"Only humans with a powerful enough blood lineage will be able to overwrite another's Embrace using the Dark Storm. We just didn't think that your blood would be so powerful…" Paul added hastily.

"I see, I've wronged you then…" Ling Yun said casually. "Who could really wield the power of this sword then?"

"Members at the Grand Duke level and above. That wretched Chen Jianwei, perhaps it's because he's a cultivator that he dared to use it even though he was only a Viscount… Unfortunately, he could only use it as an ordinary sword…"

Paul's analysis was right. Chen Jianwei dared to use the sword after he reached the Viscount rank. He thought that he was invincible in the face of cultivators because he could now fly. He wanted to use the Dark Storm to shock the descendants of the Blood Clan that were staying in the Chen Family's villa, making sure that they would listen to his orders and serve him. He was unlucky that he crossed paths with Ling Yun before that could happen.

Where could the God's Edge be?

Ling Yun started to look forward to the other sword.

…

Ling Yun crossed the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation and went into the basement when he got home. He spoke to Cao Tianlong and ensured that everything was in order before he retired back to his room to cultivate.

He could delay everything but cultivation. It was a critical moment since he was about to reach the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Early the next morning, Ling Yun gave Cui Lao a call immediately after he was done cultivating. He asked him to find a slaughterhouse and obtain about a hundred kilograms of fresh animal blood.

Ling Yun then got Paul and Chester to walk under the sun. He was satisfied to find that they were now able to receive the sun's rays. He brought them out to enjoy a western breakfast.

Ling Yun wasn't only their master, he was also their new parent, their new god. That was because Ling Yun gave them a new lease on life.

Ling Yun took out two of the gold bricks that Miao Xiaomiao gave him when he got back. He wanted to make a longbow with pure gold as soon as he could.

The body of the bow would be made of pure gold, while the string would naturally be made from Golden Black Devilish Silk. As for the arrows, well, Ling Yun had to make them using sterling silver.

That was extremely extravagant, but it was nothing to Ling Yun.

I have gold, but I still need a huge amount of pure silver. Where can I get some?

If only Tang Meng was there! He would bring it to him with no hassle at all.

Ling Yun had to make the bow and arrows step by step.

Ling Yun had only one requirement for the bow — the tension. That would determine the speed and range of the arrows being shot out.

There was no cause of worry for the tip of the arrows since Ling Yun had his divine sense and his Yin-Yang eye. His hands were steady as well.

Cui Lao arrived in no time with a black van. He got two men to bring out four barrels of fresh animal blood. Each barrel was at least twenty kilograms. The air was full of a thick iron smell.

That two men left right after without another word.

Ling Yun got Paul and Chester out. "Fresh animal blood is here. Do you have any methods of keeping it in a liquid state?"

"Yes, Boss. This is something we from the Blood Clan had to learn in the shortest possible time." Paul smiled gracefully.

Paul opened the trunk of the silver-gray car and took out a medication box. He took out a dark red crystal powder and poured it into the four barrels.

"Boss, this is a special substance extracted from our blood. It's better than the best anticoagulant humans have developed so far. Not only can it prevent blood from coagulating, but it also ensures the freshness lasts forever."

Ling Yun nodded. "Good, take these four barrels of fresh blood to the entrance of the basement."

Paul and Chester worked on their task while Ling Yun brought the mortified Cui Lao into the house.

Ling Yun settled the still shocked Cui Lao onto the sofa.

"Young Master, are… are those the two descendants of the Blood Clan? Paul and Chester?" Cui Lao asked with a hint of fear in his voice.

"Yes, Cui Lao, but don't worry, they are now my most loyal servants who won't betray me…" Ling Yun grinned happily.

"But… but why are they… in the sun?" That was what startled Cui Lao.

"Well, this happened…" Ling Yun recounted the events of the night to Cui Lao. He cut out unnecessary details, but he still used half an hour. Cui Lao couldn't even close his mouth after that.

"Cui Lao, the Cao Family is now in the basement. Would you like to see them?" Ling Yun asked.

Cui Lao heaved a huge sigh. "Young Master, I can't meet them without the permission of the family head. Moreover, you're the one who saved the Cao Family. This is on you."

The head of the Cao Family was within the eleven surviving members of the Cao Family in Ling Yun's basement. The Cao Family was forced to hide in the Ling Family's basement due to their predicament. That was why it would only be appropriate for the head of the Ling Family to meet them. Cui Lao had obviously taken his position into account.

Ling Yun accepted the argument and didn't mention it again. "Cui Lao, I have two urgent needs now. I need to make a longbow and many arrows. I also need some special guns with silver bullets. Do you have any ideas on how I can do that?"

"Longbow… Young Master, is that to deal with Chen Jianwei, who can fly?"

He understood Ling Yun's intentions immediately.

"Yes. He thinks himself great just because he can fly. I have to make sure he doesn't get away…" Ling Yun nodded.

"This is easy. I can bring you to a place now…" Cui Lao laughed.

"What place?" Ling Yun's interest was piqued upon seeing Cui Lao acting all mysterious.

"Young Master, there's no need to ask, just follow me…"

Ling Yun took the four barrels of fresh blood down into the basement and came back out. He delegated the task of watching the yard to Chester and Paul before following Cui Lao.

They went all the way to the north, out of the seventh ring, before arriving at a dilapidated, inconspicuous factory.

They went into the factory only to find a few people minding their own business. He became more puzzled.

"Cui Lao, what is this place?"

"Young Master, this is our Ling Family's weaponry workshop," Cui Lao said with a mysterious grin.
