Chapter 1429: 1429. Direct Confrontation

Ling Lan didn’t refute that statement. But that didn’t mean she accepted Lord Qian’s explanation either. She just smiled and continued looking at Lord Qian.

Lord Qian didn’t mind. He stretched his hand out and took over the cup of tea Lord Dui passed to him. He had a sip of the tea before placing the teacup on the coffee table at the side. Then, he looked at Ling Lan indifferently.

The entire space started turning cold. Realizing this, Luo Lang changed his standing posture. The killing intent that he retracted a moment ago reappeared.

Ling Lan on the other hand didn’t seem to have noticed anything. She appeared calm and composed. There was not even a change in her smile.

Li Lanfeng had a similar expression but Lord Qian noticed that he was clenching his left fist tightly.

Hmm, the new Lord Gen was still worth taking note of.

With just a few glances, Lord Qian was able to determine the strength of the three youngsters in front of him.

Lord Gen was the most powerful among the three. The one that was always smiling was the second and the man who was the purest was the weakest.

But, Lord Qian liked the weakest but most naive young man. The person he hated the most was the one who kept smiling but couldn’t hide his thoughts. He was a calculative person.

As for Lord Gen… Lord Qian sighed softly in his heart. If he had a choice, he didn’t want to be enemies with him.

Lord Qian was a little mindful of those people whom he couldn’t control.

Finally, Lord Qian opened his mouth. “Fine, if what you said was true and we started the battle royales for our own selfish motives, what do we get out of these battle royales?”

“Profits from the war.” Ling Lan looked around the room. She smiled and continued, “For instance, the Mecha Scavenger Alliance.”

“If we started the battle royales, won’t we have more losses?” Lord Qian laughed as he asked. “We always used expendable resources in battle royales. Aren’t we wasting money in the end?”

“If the 13 Lords are only playing among themselves, it is true that the loss will outweigh the gain. But, are the 13 Lords the only players in these battle royales?” Ling Lan suddenly leaned forward and stared coldly at Lord Qian with a hint of threat.

Lord Qian was flabbergasted. He didn’t expect an imperial realm formidable warrior to have the guts to threaten a god-realm master like himself. He didn’t know if he should laugh at the young man for overestimating himself or should he praise him for being audacious?

“Are you saying that there is someone else involved in this? I remember that there are only 13 Lords in the Lawless Lands. There’s no 14th lord.” Lord Qian outrightly denied the claim.

“Yes. There’s no 14th lord in the Lawless Lands. There are only the 13 Lords. However, these 13 Lords have different masters behind them, right?” Ling Lan smiled and said.

A cold flash of light shot out of Lord Qian’s eyes when he heard this. It struck Ling Lan directly.

Bang!

Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang also felt their ears ringing. They felt dizzy.

Lord Qian and Ling Lan were still sitting opposite each other on the sofas. The only difference was, there was a drop of blood slowly dripping down the corner of Ling Lan’s mouth.

Without a doubt, the two of them had secretly exchanged a blow just now. An imperial realm formidable warrior forcefully bore the attack of a god-realm master.

Lord Qian was astounded for a moment. He knew clearly that he didn’t hold back just now. He thought that he would see Lord Gen lying sprawled on the floor but instead, he managed to bear with it. Plus, the drop of blood on the corner of his lips wasn’t a sign of an internal injury. Lord Qian knew that it was caused because Lord Gen didn’t manage to suppress the blood churning inside his body. With enough time, the young man would be able to regain his health.

“Not bad. It looks like you’re not just an imperial realm formidable warrior. You must be half-step into god-realm, right?” For the first time, Lord Qian appeared cautious. At the same time, there was hidden killing intent in his gaze.

That year, when he was the age of this young man, he just managed to advance to the domain realm. He didn’t even dare to think of the imperial realm then. If it wasn’t for the series of coincidences, he might have stopped at the imperial realm. But, this young man managed to enter this unpredictable realm so early in his life. What kind of genius was he?

“Anyone that walks on this path wants to reach that realm,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“Do you really come from the Soul Society?” Lord Qian started to suspect what he thought was the truth.

“What about you, Lord Qian?” Ling Lan asked him back instead of answering.

“Me?” Lord Qian laughed loudly. “Who do you think can make me listen to him?”

“Based on Lord Qian’s ability, it truthfully will be hard for you to bow down to anyone unless the person is another god-realm master or a god-class operator. However, ability isn’t the only thing that can make people listen to you. Emotions can too.” Ling Lan smiled. “Lord Qian, you must still be unable to forget your country.”

“Country?” Lord Qian suddenly sneered. “You think that I have a country?”

“Why not?” Ling Lan shifted her gaze to Lord Qian’s cuff.”If you really forgot about it, why do you still insist on wearing that bracelet?”

Lord Qian raised his eyebrows. He lifted his right hand to reveal the bracelet with a dragon head. He smiled and asked, “Isn’t this just a coincidence?”

Ling Lan nodded. “Yes, it might be a coincidence. But, Lord Qian, you can’t use this excuse.”

“That’s strange. Why can’t it be a coincidence for me?” Lord Qian was baffled.

Ling Lan smiled slightly. “God-realm masters are in their own world, ungoverned by the rules of the universe. The influence of the coincidences in the universe won’t affect you. Hence, it can only be done on purpose.”

Lord Qian’s gaze turned cold. “Seems like you have a deep understanding about god-realm.”

“It couldn’t be helped. I have three god-realm masters at home. Even if I don’t want to know about it, I can’t.” The smile in Ling Lan’s eyes got brighter.

Lord Qian’s gaze flickered. He seemed to be considering something.

“You’re not from the Soul Society,” Lord Qian spoke slowly but firmly.

“Yes and no,” Ling Lan’s reply was ambiguous.

Lord Qian understood her. “You have an identity in the Soul Society but your real identity is something else… You’re not from the mercenary world too. I’ve seen the abilities of all the three kings, and you’re not one of them. You said that you’re Lan Xiao but you’re not from the Lan faction of the Rainbow Raiders. Since those are all not your identity, where did you come from? Why did you come to the Lawless Lands?”

“The identities are fake but I really do need a territory of my own,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

“You couldn’t stay in the central regions anymore, right?” Lord Qian sneered.

“You too, right? Everyone is the same.” Ling Lan didn’t give in. She confronted him directly.

Lord Qian glanced at Ling Lan indifferently. “You kept provoking us. Are you really seeking death?”

“I might not be able to live even if I don’t provoke you. In that case, why not be more wilful? At least I don’t have to be frustrated.” Ling Lan’s tone was still calm even in the face of death.

Lord Qian’s gaze turned sharper. Just as everyone thought he was about to attack, Lord Qian suddenly looked up and laughed. “Hahahaha…”

“Interesting, interesting. As expected of Ling Xiao’s son and the grand-disciple of Mu Shui-qing.” Lord Qian suddenly exposed Ling Lan’s identity.

Sure enough, she was unable to fool this sly old fox.

When Ling Lan saw Lord Qian for the first time, she had a strange feeling. She felt that Lord Qian should know her real identity. The probing after that proved that her instinct was correct.

“How should I address you then, the commander of the frontlines in the Lawless Lands sent by the Federation?” Ling Lan didn’t get nervous when her identity was exposed. Instead, she said her prediction nonchalantly.
