493: Give up on solo kills!

Divine Craftsmanship had never been this clever.

He quickly racked his brain, trying to sort out the current situation as much as possible to find a breakthrough point.

First, he should still be considered a member of the Nine Swords Dao.

He had been demoted to the Kitchen by Jiang Vengeance and left in a fit of rage, which indeed made it seem like he had left the Nine Swords Dao.

However, for a Disciple to leave, an Elder would surely need to personally look into it, or at the very least, there would be specialized Disciples managing it; there should be some kind of register.

And before he left, he hadn't explicitly stated he was leaving the Nine Swords Dao; he had only told Fatty from the Kitchen that he was going to find an Elder to seek justice.

If Fatty and the others hadn't caused any trouble, his name should still be on the register, and he would still be considered a member of the Nine Swords Dao.

Therefore, if Hei Da Luan was a cute Junior Brother, wasn't he, Divine Craftsmanship, one as well?

In this way, this Senior Brother who appeared out of nowhere wouldn't be able to protect Hei Da Luan based on Sect brotherhood.

Secondly, Hei Da Luan had something inexplicable on him, like that Black Pot that could break a Flying Sword.

Could an ordinary Qi Refining Disciple from the Kitchen possess such a Treasure?

Of course not.

So, Divine Craftsmanship immediately pointed out that Hei Da Luan had stolen a Sect Treasure and was trying to flee, while he was there to capture him!

In this way... "You are Hei Da Luan? I've heard of you."

At that moment, the Senior Brother suddenly spoke: "You were brought back by Elder Qin. Elder Qin's judgment has always been excellent; he couldn't have made a mistake. It seems you must have been framed."

Divine Craftsmanship felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He opened his mouth to say something more, but heard the Senior Brother continue:

"As for you, I've heard of you too, Divine Craftsmanship. A new Disciple demoted to the Kitchen by Junior Brother Jiang Vengeance, who threw a tantrum in the Kitchen and left the Sect on your own—and now you want to murder a Disciple of my Nine Swords Dao?"

!

Divine Craftsmanship was completely stunned.

No way, he suddenly ran into a Senior Brother on the road, and this person just happened to have heard of him and just happened to be carrying some anger.

Was this probability even reasonable?

Swish!

In the next instant, Divine Craftsmanship wasn't given any time to react at all.

A flash of sword light, and his head rolled... "F*ck!"

Divine Craftsmanship watched the screen turn black as he waited to respawn. He cursed, then let out a laugh.

He laughed out of sheer frustration.

He knew a child of destiny might have trump cards and wouldn't be easy to take down.

But he never expected it would develop like this.

He couldn't win one-on-one, so a high-Realm Senior Brother just spawned by the roadside to save the day.

Is this sh*t even reasonable?

"Don't panic, don't panic... This situation actually proves that there's definitely something up with this Hei Da Luan; the probability of him being a child of destiny has increased further."

"And that Black Pot must be his Golden Finger, an incredible Treasure."

"Even if it isn't, he must have other Treasures on him."

"The rewards for killing him are immense, enough to make it worth continuing the risk..."

Greed overwhelmed reason.

But soon, reason regained the upper hand.

Though it was a reason tainted by greed.

"I can't handle him alone; I need to bring in other players."

"That Senior Brother should be at Foundation Establishment, possibly with an Immortal Foundation, but there's no way he's at the Golden Core."

"After all, Golden Core True Persons couldn't possibly appear at the Yanwang Prefecture Branch Sect; even if they did, they would be Elders and wouldn't accept the title of Senior Brother."

"So I just need to bring in a Golden Core Player, and Hei Da Luan will still be doomed."

"Although I'll have to split the profits... it should be worth it."

Divine Craftsmanship didn't dare post on the Forum to call for help, fearing this Opportunity would be exposed.

He chose to recruit manpower through the Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion.

The Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion not only provided consulting services but also some online services, including task distribution between players.

Its reputation was good, with no public controversy regarding privacy leaks for now, making it trustworthy.

Divine Craftsmanship originally thought he would have to wait a long time, but a Golden Core Player soon approached him.

This player's name was "Looking Up at the Stars Faction," and he was a Demon Race Player.

This player used to be one of the three top Demon Race Players in Beishan, occupying a territory with his own forces and living quite a good life.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. With the Yuyao Kingdom moving south and Beishan falling, Looking Up at the Stars Faction had to flee south, becoming an ordinary Golden Core Player within the Dingguo Xi Immortal Dynasty.

Moreover, because his accumulation was specialized in Yao Race cultivation, it was difficult for him to adapt to the flourishing human aura within the Immortal Dynasty, making it hard to easily obtain various spiritual resources for cultivation.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would either have to switch from the Yao Race to a Human Race player or find another way elsewhere.

And now, the unexpected had arrived.

"child of destiny"

Strictly speaking, most players were still quite unfamiliar with this concept.

Only Yan Xiao had drawn widespread attention, but even that was limited to the early player base; later players didn't have much knowledge of Yan Xiao's broken engagement-rise-domination experience.

Consequently, many players didn't care about the child of destiny and didn't think there was anything special about it.

Even within the Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion, while players like This Time Bu Ge were keen on researching the child of destiny, most players didn't care.

Although various ancient records allowed players to glimpse children of destiny in history, some believed this was a case of confusing cause and effect.

[If a Prodigy died early without a legendary rise, would they be recorded?]

[If a great leader can have monuments and biographies written for them, wouldn't someone polish and beautify their rise to power?]

Such remarks emerged one after another.

Plus, with Yan Xiao being the only one who was definitely a possible child of destiny, there was simply no other evidence.

Therefore, many Golden Core Players had no interest in the child of destiny and didn't think about finding one to befriend or hunt.

It was a pure waste of time.

Under these circumstances, not a single one of the currently dominant Human Race players was willing to help Divine Craftsmanship.

Thus, by a stroke of luck, the Opportunity fell onto a Demon Race player.

"A child of destiny... if it's true, then this will be the starting point of my, Looking Up at the Stars Faction's, rise!"

Looking Up at the Stars Faction was excited and agitated, not caring about much else but seizing this chance, even if it might be illusory.

He didn't even consider the risks.

After all, no matter how weak he was, he had truly cultivated a Demon Body and was considered a Fifth-Rank Cultivator.

Handling a Cultivator in their novice stage, even a child of destiny, shouldn't it be a sure thing?

Consequently, he immediately connected with Divine Craftsmanship, and the two of them waited outside the Nine Swords Dao Branch Sect, staking out Hei Da Luan.

As it turned out, no one expected that they would be staking him out for a whole month.

Hei Da Luan actually didn't come out again!

Helpless, Divine Craftsmanship had to disguise himself and find Zhang Youcai to ask about Hei Da Luan's situation.

"It's said that Hei Da Luan was ambushed when he went out and almost died. So after returning to the mountain, he didn't dare to go out again, cultivating day and night for fear of dying at someone else's hands. Tsk, he's really afraid of death."

Divine Craftsmanship was stunned.
