Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 423 Hand In Shadows.

Shi Lang held the paper in his hand. It would be a lie to say he was calm. TianLong had a unique connection with him. Now that forgotten connection has come up to gaze him back in the eyes again. Unity stood behind him and said, "Calm down. It is just a letter."

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "Indeed, a letter that is addressed to me and sent across eons."

Unity gave up a goofy chuckle. She was at a loss as to why her master would leave behind a letter in such a place. How was he, even so, sure that Shi Lang would come here to find the letter? The young general carefully unfolded the paper when she was at a loss.

Shi Lang gazed at the paper's contents and said, "He wrote this in the ancient script."

Unity gazed at the paper and sighed, "The only thing I did not learn back then was this text. I was too young when the era changed, and this language was simplified."

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "I know this language, so it is not a problem."

The young man gazed at the paper and said, "If you have found this letter, the mortal plane is about to experience another era of change. It has been a long time since the last change. I think humanity has already entered the period, but the rest of the lives on this plane are not too far behind.

Shi Lang, you are the link to the ancient age of cultivation, and thus I will need you to decide when you are done reading this letter. But, remember, once you have made the decision, you should stick with it, or the consequences will affect you and those around you too."

Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "He always liked to make it intense, didn't he?"

Unity nodded solemnly. The young man continued reading, "The last era of change ended with the partition of Spirit Beast and Human communities. This partition was agreed upon by the elder of the spirit beasts and me in person. The elder was the last descendant of the phoenix clan.

I will not go into the details. You can talk to Unity about this. However, you need to know that the line between the two communities was drawn from the inside. In the past, both communities were against each other, and that was because a human Mahayana realm emperor decided to take a golden sparrow clan girl as his dao companion. That was enough to mess things up.

In this era, while the element of liberalism is vital, you might want to be careful of the element of greed and desire for power. The beast community may look peaceful, but some people hold a great ambition deep within their hearts. One such person is the heaven howling wolf clan. In the past, their ancestor enticed the trouble between the two species."

Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, "Fucking buildup, what is it, the ancient age. Mofo, come down to the business."

Unity sighed and said, "His failed attempts at dramatizing."

Shi Lang continued reading, "I know that your reason to come here was not the disputes between the two species but the broken bridge of immortality. This bridge is broken for the spirit beast community because of the change in world laws. This change did not exist when I scouted this place. The change occurred when the leader of the Heaven-Howling wolf attacked the offspring between the human and the golden sparrow."

Unity opened her eyes wide and said, "I never knew such a legend existed in this."

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "I have no idea what to say to this shit. You know all this crap is not making my task easier."

Unity nodded and said, "I know, but what can I do? This guy sealed my memories."

Shi Lang sighed and sat down on the ground with a thump. He continued reading, "Shi Lang listen well. You can change the rule of the world back to the way they were, bypassing the trial of the remnant soul of the golden sparrow offspring. However, that place is guarded by the heaven-howling wolf clan. It would be best if you dealt with them first. Till then."

As soon as the words finished, the paper crumbled on its own. Shi Lang looked at the dust on the floor. Then, he said, "This guy, is he not asking me to deal with the rotten fish in the pond for his sake?"

Unity scratched the back of her head and said, "Yes, this is what it seems to me too."

Shi Lang let out a low whimper and said, "Fine then. Who asked me to be dependent on the spirit beast community? Fuck this heaven-howling wolf."

Unity patted his shoulder and said, "It is fine. You can do it."

Shi Lang rolled his eyes at her and said, "To think there is a clan that has been resisting the alliance for such a long time and so firmly that they did not even hesitate to screw up their entire race. I wonder what cards they must have prepared for anyone who tries to screw them back."

The sword spirit said, "I cannot act against them directly. If the practitioner is below the Mahayana realm, you will have to deal with them alone."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I understand. I will have to enlist the help of those people from the high council of the citadel."

The two people talked for a few more minutes, and then Shi Lang left to meet the high council. He had called them all through Moon Baley, and the people had agreed to a meeting. The situation suddenly became very tense, and they did not want it to worsen. In these times, if there were going to be someone who could help them, they would welcome that person with open arms.

Shi Lang arrived at the council hall and met with the twelve people. He looked around and asked, "Seniors, what I am about to mention may be the key to unlocking fate."

This sentence attracted the attention of every person. Shi Lang continued, "May I ask, what is the status of the Heaven-howling wolves in the spirit beast community."

A bomb seemed to have been dropped inside the council hall. After a few moments, Sabre said, "They were exiled in the ancient era only. We have never allowed them to come back. Why do you ask? And How do you know?"

Shi Lang replied, "I am asking because Senior Unity's master was the one who left behind a note that described a few things and also a plausible method to restore the bridge of immortality to the way it was."

Moon asked, "What did the note say, and where is it?"

Shi Lang said, "The note crumbled to dust as soon as I finished reading it. You can check with Senior Unity if you do not believe me. As for the content, it said that when the spirit beasts moved to this place, they were led by the offspring of a human expert and the maiden of the golden sparrow clan. As she was considered to be a link between the two communities. The partition of the two races was just a temporary measure.

However, before that personage could lead the spirit beasts back to their natural home on earth, the heaven-howling wolf clan offended that personage by attacking them."

A man with a long beard said, "That is known to all of us. Where are you going with this story, Young Shi."

This person was one of the wisest leaders on the high council. He was a Heavenly fortune-back turtle. The wisdom of this turtle was something that could not be matched.

Shi Lang smiled and said, "The story does not stop here, Senior. What you all do not know is that the heaven-howling wolf leader had managed to kill the other person, and the expert's hateful soul left a curse. But, the innate strength of that expert was what changed the rules of this world, and that was when things went south.

So, according to his excellency, the departed expert left a trial for a human to deal with and change the laws again. However, that place is now being guarded by the heaven-howling wolves."

The people understood what was going on. At this moment, Sabre received a message, "I had sent Jianhu out to check who it was that has been aiming at the humans these days. They managed to nab a wolf pup."

He looked at a lady sitting across him calmly and asked, "Chikara, it is the exiles. They are pulling strings in the dark."

Chikara looked back at Sabre and said, "I have no idea how this happened, but I swear to you all that the wolf clan had no participation. Allow me to lead a contingent over there and deal with them."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "If they can operate without getting caught for a long time. It means they are not ordinary. I think it is better to take some time and think of a better plan. We only have one shot at this."
