Chapter 89 - Meeting The Obsidian Abdicator

Many hours ago, around 9:30am in the morning...

"What happened to this building? It just suddenly collapsed overnight." Someone who stood with close to about twenty people who were looking at the building that Xiao Lin caused to collapse, asked.

"I don't know. Perhaps it structure which had become very weak, eventually gave way to entirely crack and collapse" Another replied.

"Well, perhaps the Townsmaster would send someone over to check what had really happened" Someone else said.

"Yea, you are right about that. Well, I am leaving, this doesn't concern me in any way. Bye, everyone. I want to go till the ground to get something for me and my family to eat" Another person said and then turned around to leave.

Not long, everyone began to leave one after the other until it remained only one person who was looking at the heaps of rubbles which was formerly the old, deserted building with furrowed brows and an indescribable gaze in his eyes.

"What really happened here?" He asked with deep puzzlement in his tone.

"Those guys were still within when I left. So, what could have suddenly happened which then brought about the collapse of the building?" He asked again as he was trying to understand something.

"Or were they attacked, with their attackers successfully killing them and then leveling the dilapidated building so that the dead bodies would be hidden away for the meantime?"

Once he thought up to here, his eyes abruptly narrowed with an overwhelming killing intent beginning to erupt from within them.

He then suddenly remembered something that caused the aura of wrath exuding from his body to become chaotic.

"Oh no! My Jade Pill Box and the pouch of silver coins that I gave those useless fools." He cried out in anger.

However, he remembered something that immediately caused him to become calm.

"Before I gave those fools the Jade Pill Box, I engraved a powerful, Spiritual Tracking pattern into it using the Great Void and Unlimited Heaven Spiritual Tracking technique that my master, the Blood Arbiter transmitted to me when I inherited his legacy."

"Besides, I did that because I couldn't trust those guys completely. If they had ran off without completing the mission that I assigned to them, where would I trace them to? So, I placed the Spiritual Tracing pattern into it to be able to trace them down to wherever they would be if they didn't fulfill the mission that I assigned to them."

"Good! Now, I can trace the Jade Pill Box to wherever it would be. And since the Jade pill box would be with same attacker that killed those morons, I would also be able to retrieve the pouch of silver coins that I gave to those idiots from that person who attacked them."

"However, the only issue now is that I would have to search for a new group of assassins who I can contract to do this job for me. But where would I find one so quickly? Ugh! When I get that attacker, I will make sure to torture the bastard and teach him or her to never steal things from other people in his or her next life" This person, who called himself the Obsidian Abdicator and was the second legacy disciple of the Blood Arbiter from the God and Devil Fighting sect, said with full arrogance in his eyes and swelling anger in his tone.

Then he left where he was to return to where he came from to this place. And when he eventually arrived there, which was a tent that he raised in the small uncleared areas in the town some minutes later, he sat down in the cross-legged position and began to operate the Spiritual Tracing technique from the Great Void and Unlimited Heaven Tracking method.

So, as he did so, a particular abstruse pattern appeared at the center of his forehead.

Then immediately this complex pattern appeared, his eyes which were wide open as he utilized the Spiritual Tracing technique, began to glow in a milky white light. Then once his eyes began to glow in that light which made them seem like small white suns, a type of unexplainable power began to erupt from his entire body.

Then once this power erupted from his body, the Obsidian Abdicator suddenly felt a strong, near-indestructible connection to the Jade Pill Box that was with Xiao Lin.

Immediately he established a powerful connection to that pill box, a smile appeared in his face.

He then nodded his head and stood to his feet to leave the self-raised tent that he was in.

...

Evening, 7:30pm.

Xiao Lin who didn't know that the Obsidian Abdicator was coming for him because of the people that he killed, but mostly for the Jade Pill Box that he snatched, opened his eyes with a delighted gaze in them because of his success at entering into the Mortal Spiritual stage.

He then stood to his feet from his cross-legged position on the ground and headed for the door to leave the room that he was in.

Now, he had the intention to gather information from the mouth of people in the street that could be discussing about the latest happenings in this particular town.

However, after walking for about eleven minutes, he could suddenly feel the spiteful and disgusted gaze of someone on his body.

Xiao Lin who became amazed and bewildered by the type of gaze that he could perceive on his body, began to look around for where the gaze that he could detect on his body came from.

Not long as he was looking around, the gaze suddenly vanished.

"No. Don't go yet!" Xiao Lin said as he was frantic at knowing who that was that gazed upon him in such a manner.

Realizing that the gaze was gone, Xiao Lin exhaled unhappily. He was actually ready to trace the gaze to wherever it came from and then demand from that person why he was being stared at like that.

However, he quickly raised his guard as he was slightly certain that the person that stared at him in that manner, would appear before him soon.

Just as he raised his guards, someone appeared before him like a ghost and said with a cold smile hung in his lips.

"So, it was you that dared to kill those morons that I assigned a mission to and even took the Jade Pill Box that I gave to them" The person that had suddenly appeared before him said with a cold and murderous gaze in his eyes.

Xiao Lin then looked at the person that spoke and shook his head in awe and surprise.

He was able to realize in the next instant that this person was the one that called himself the Obsidian Abdicator, and proudly claimed to be the second inheritance disciple of the Blood Arbiter from the God and Devil Fighting sect.

'How the hell was he able to trace me down here? But I demolished that damned building. Ugh! This is bad! This powerful guy would be insanely difficult to beat. Especially now that we are in the street, once we start fighting, Government officers will quickly appear to cease us before we can cause death or any sort of damage to the properties of people around us.'

'I guess I would have to run away from him with all my might. And I could possibly lead him to a place where government officer wouldn't bother coming to check. I think that's what I should do' Xiao Lin said.

Then to pretend like he didn't understand what the Obsidian Abdicator was talking about, Xiao Lin quickly produced a strange expression in his face and said with total strangeness in his tone.

"I am sorry, who are you? And what the hell do you mean by what you just said?" He asked.

Then Xiao Lin continued "If you move away from my path, be prepared to moved by me."

Hahaha!

The Obsidian Abdicator suddenly burst into a raucous laughter that drew the attention of people walking up and down the street towards him.

He then asked "You will what? You will move me?"

Then he continued with an unseen aura of arrogance and vengeful fury which Xiao Lin could vaguely sense, beginning to emanate unceasingly from his body "I believe that you are not too blind to see that I am way above your cultivation level. You are just in the first-layer Mortal Spiritual stage, while I am in the sixth-layer Mortal Spiritual stage. So, if we are asked who should move, that should be you... and after me like the dog-slave that you are, since you are practically powerless and useless before me, Li Chuang of the God and Devil Fighting sect"

Xiao Lin looked at him and said indifferently and with a nonchalant tone in his voice "Are you done bragging? If you are, good! Now, bastard, get the heck out of my front. I have better things to do than exchange insulting words with some crackhead that was incredibly fortunate and privileged to reach the sixth-layer Mortal Spiritual stage."
