Chapter 656: So-Called Karma

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before even half an hour, the two sides settled the matter about borrowing troops.

“Take care, Sir Li. Please come again.” Elder Da stood at the door and waved with a smile.

“There’s no need to see me out, Elder Da. I shall take my leave.” Wrapped in a black cloth, Li Zhang leaped down and disappeared after taking a few steps.

“Hiss…” The dark man accompanying by Elder Da’s side was shocked upon seeing that.

He turned to ask, “Elder Da, does that mean their Greater Rat Kingdom has already dug caves all the way out here?”

“Probably so. After all, their foundation was laid early. The Earth is small, so it’s no surprise that they’ve dug roads in all directions.” Elder Da lightly said.

“In that case, if we send troops out and use their underground passage, won’t we be able to appear and disappear unpredictably?” The dark-faced man said, pleasantly surprised.

“Heh, those are just small roads. Commander Hei Shi, if you really want to appear and disappear unpredictably when sending troops, unless you have the help of a powerful being’s hand…” Elder Da shook his head.

Hearing this, the dark-faced man rubbed his head and said doubtfully, “Speaking of a powerful being’s hand, I’ve always wondered why in those mighty beings in the Upper Realm still need to commission a lowly clan like us to do things?”

“Hmph, some powerful beings naturally don’t need us, but there are some who badly do.” Elder Da seemed to have remembered something, for his face turned cold.

The dark-skinned man still looked puzzled.

Elder Da reached out to poke his head, and shook his head, “Fool, they’re afraid of karma…”

“Elder Da, I’ve heard you talk about karma this, karma that, but what exactly is that? All the powerful beings can call the wind and summon the rain, and turn the sky and earth upside down. Even still, they’re afraid of that little thing?” The dark-skinned man continued to ask.

Elder Da was just about to explain when he suddenly stopped. He looked at the dark-skinned man with fixed eyes.

This man was called Hei Shi. He was a fierce warrior of the Black Jade Clan, as well as the Vanguard Commander. He would always be leading every charge.

However, his brain was not that brilliant. On the other hand, a brain that was too brilliant would be unsuitable to charge and break through enemy lines.

“Commander Hei Shi, why do you have so many questions today?” Elder Da frowned at him.

“Uh, I, I… I felt that my brain has suddenly begun to understand things recently, so I wanted to ask questions that I never understood.” Hei Shi blushed.

“No, with my many years of experience, you must have lost your mind to ask so many questions.” Elder Da said seriously, “Let me ask you, did you go to that large lake recently? Did you encounter that so-called Lake God?”

“Ah, Elder Da, you also know about it?” Commander Hei Shi was surprised.

“You, tell me a full report about what happened and explain everything to me…” Elder Da naturally knew what that Lake God was. It was just the spy outpost of a person of this world. He had weak strength and could easily be destroyed.

However, they still needed this channel of external communication to maintain a balance.

Hei Shi immediately recounted how he encountered the Lake God, and how he was fooled by him.

“Oh, so you took a fancy to Marshal Jade White, and that Lake God used a book titled ‘A Guide to Romance: 123’ to bribe you… Then you answered the questions he asked,” Elder Da nodded, and said coldly, “Do you know that what you did was a matter of collaborating with the enemy and rebellion against the clan? You should be blamed for the crime!”

Hearing this, Commander Hei Shi trembled and knelt down on a slab while kowtowing, “Have mercy, Elder. Have mercy!”

He was a valiant vanguard and a peerless general, but was so afraid in the face of this seemingly helpless old man. It could be seen that the old man was not merely what he appeared to be.

“Hmph, forget it. You can continue exchanging news with that Lake God in the future. However, from today onwards, you’re forbidden from answering any of his questions. Say you don’t know first and ask me when you come back, and we’ll deal with it.” Elder Da watched Commander Hei Shi and said heavily.

“Yes, yes, that’s what I did before. I couldn’t answer most of the questions the Lake God asked on the spot, so I had to come back to ask others, but no one told me the answers to those confidential questions.” Commander Hei Shi quickly explained.

“Mm, there are advantages of being stupid as well. You can go back now. Right, you can go ask that Lake God the questions you asked earlier,” Elder Da said dismissively and turned to enter his low shack.

“Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness.” Commander Hei Shi wiped the cold sweat off his head and left.

He turned to look at that low shack. The door was pitch-black, just like a viper or ferocious beast, and he immediately felt some lingering fear.

The Black Jade Clan had ten Elders as its core and eight military commanders as its periphery. The survival of the clan was based on ‘battle’. The entire clan was a group of mercenaries in the Upper Realm.

In the entire clan, all matters of life and death laid in the hands of the ten Elders.

Commander Hei Shi walked to the large lake in the center of the clan habitat while thinking.

‘A Guide to Romance: 1’ had some effects, but did not produce quick results. It seemed like he would have to ask the Lake God for the next book.

Somewhere in northern China, where the Truth Department Headquarters were located.

Outside the Headquarters compound, the trees were lush, and the weeds grew without restraint. From time to time, some wild animals with vivid eyes shuttled between them.

It was already May, and the third summer of Shenyuan had arrived.

In the Head Advisor’s office, Ren Ruofeng waved his fan while looking at a report that Xie Dong sent.

‘A Preliminary Study of the Black Jade People’.

“Hm, this kid does have some skill after all. He really doesn’t disappoint. As expected, this person is like a peanut, he can always produce some oil of squeezed.” Ren Ruofeng read while nodding.

“Black Jade People, a lower-class clan from the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm clans are divided into four classes, the highest-class ones are born with remarkable abilities, large magical energy, and a long lifespan; the lowest-class ones don’t have any remarkable abilities, have a short lifespan, and find it hard to cultivate. They can only become vassals in order to survive.

“For the Black Jade People, the entire clan worked as mercenaries to survive. They’re not good plowing and weaving, but they act as hired thugs for the mighty beings. They were mercenaries that went on campaigns in various countries to gain items for survival.

“Many of the powerful beings in the Upper Realm are afraid of being entangled with karma, so there are many things that are inconvenient for them to act on. It is estimated that tragedies like exterminating entire clans and burning cities were all done by the Black Jade People so they could live. For example, in a war between two clans, if one side did not want too many of their elites to die, they would employ the Black Jade People.

“The Black Jade People reproduce rapidly and can grow into a generation in ten years. Their lifespan is around fifty years, and they are not afraid of death. They return to a certain land in glory. Before, when offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth of this world, a soul could not return after death, and could only dissipate in the heaven and earth of this world. Therefore, everyone was afraid, but they still had to obey. After the Celestial Dragon Summoning Ceremony had been interrupted by the Venerable Dragon God, quite a few people began to secretly worship the Dragon God.”

A person like Ren Ruofeng was able to see the core content of this report in a glance.

“Karma entanglement? Even the powerful beings in the Upper World are afraid of this? It’s really rare that there’s something that can somewhat restrain them.”

He put down the fan and picked up a pencil, and drew a circle heavily.

For a long time to come, it would be based on defense. Anything that could curb the powerful beings in the Upper Realm naturally aroused his immediate attention.

As for the others, he did not care much about how the Black Jade People were. After all, China still had the Earth. The real opponents in the future were those Upper Realm powerful beings that were hard to resist, not ordinary soldiers that were below Pond-level.
