Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 178



Chapter 178

“Morning meetings without General Chor will probably be less interesting.” Chui Yi’s reply was as gentle as his smile. 


Chor Huet Zhin laughed on hearing him, his smile widening. “I remember the good old days when we debated for four hours during the morning meetings.” 


This made Chui Yi laugh. Be it love or hatred, everything was insignificant when it came to death.


Lastly, Chor Huet Zhin turned towards Chui Yim. “My young friend Chui, I’ll have to trouble you with the Chor Clan.” 


His words made all the important figures and Chor Clan members turn to Chui Yim in disbelief. Chor Huet Zhin might be leaving the world, but his words still held great importance. Him saying that he’d trouble Chui Yim with the clan felt like he was handing the clan to this youth. 


Chui Yim felt pins and needles on his head. The stares from all the various powerful cultivators felt like a formless attack. The straightforward Chui Yim couldn’t help but blurt out his thoughts, “You’re such an old fox…” 


Under everyone’s shocked stares, Chor Huet Zhin laughed loudly with a sly smile. “Young friend Chui, the capable ones must work harder. This might not be part of our deal, but let me negotiate for more.” 


Boom! 


Chor Huet Zhin’s aura grew and soared to the sky like a dragon. The metallic smell of blood became increasingly powerful as well. It was a powerful energy, but the aura was entirely focused on Chor Huet Zhin such that it didn’t spread outwards or affect others even slightly. 


The Bloody War Strike wasn’t just a superior gliphility because of its powerful damage, but its reserved style that contained all of one’s power in their fist. It was the style of Chor Clan, similar to the plant Queen of the Night, silent yet irreplaceable. 


“We’re even now.” Chor Huet Zhin flashed a thin smile as he flicked his finger at Chui Yim, a finger-sized dark red light disappearing into Chui Yim’s forehead. 


This scene shocked everyone in the mansion. Some present were more knowledgeable and knew what was going on. That red light was Chor Huet Zhin’s Bloody War Strike, and it wasn’t simply passed down to Chui Yim. That light contained Chor Huet Zhin’s spirit, experiences and knowledge. It was inserted directly into Chui Yim’s mind, allowing him to recall the energliph path of the Bloody War Strike and other related information as long as he thought hard enough. 


The Bloody War Strike was the gliphility that made Chor Huet Zhin famous and was his strongest gliphility. 


Doesn’t that mean that this boy is his direct disciple? Everyone thought. 






When Chui Yim woke up, he was in his room with Bak Wun. Chor Shing Chit believed that his grandfather wouldn’t harm Chui Yim during his final moments, but he was still worried for Chui Yim and thus asked Bak Wun to watch over him. josei


The entire Chor Clan was drowning in work after Chor Huet Zhin passed on.  


Chor Huet Zhin had appeared energetic and healthy due to a secret skill that exchanged all his remaining energliph for two weeks’ worth of time. In fact, Chor Huet Zhin still had one or two days left, but he finally left this world as his last reserves of energy were used to impart the Bloody War Strike to Chui Yim’s mind. 


“I might have let down many people, but I have no regrets!” Those were Chor Huet Zhin’s last words.


After Bak Wun told him what had happened, Chui Yim had a complicated expression. He had a different character from Chor Huet Zhin, but they still liked each other, and he could now be considered Chor Huet Zhin’s half-direct disciple even if he didn’t like it. 


“That old man is smart to pull such an act before leaving.” Bak Wun sneered disdainfully after seeing how Chui Yim reacted. “Don’t think he’s up to any good. His actions may have benefitted you, but it also resulted in a lot of attention on you.”.


“Oh? What do you mean?” Chui Yim asked in confusion. 


“You are extremely talented, but you lack real-world experiences.” Bak Wun shook his head. “The Chor Clan has always been the leading clan amongst the four general clans, and Chor Huet Zhin was the main reason. Now that he’s gone, the power suppressing the other three clans has disappeared. Do you know how great this impact is?”


“Lam Chun may have promised that he won’t let the clan wane, but the other clans will definitely try to suppress the Chor Clan. Then out of nowhere, you’ve suddenly become his direct disciple. The other clans will focus on you and try to get as much information as they can on you. Simply put, he’s diverting attention to you to buy time for the Chor Clan, who needs time to recover.


“Once the Chor Clan catches a breather, they’ll be able to return stronger and maintain their position even if they aren’t able to do as well as when Chor Huet Zhin was around.” 


“Hey.” Chui Yim listened to Bak Wun with his mouth open. “That’s just your guess, right?” 


“Do you think Chor Huet Zhin got to where he was today just with his fist?” Bak Wun sneered. “He’s powerful, but schemes matter much more than one’s strength in politics. Even you are part of his plan.”


 Chui Yim was slightly angry to hear this, but since the old fox had already left for the afterlife, he could only sigh. “At least I still benefitted. Whatever, they should give up after finding out nothing special about me.” 


“Even if nothing about you is special, you’ll definitely shine once you enter the Cloud Palace’s outer sect. It’ll be hard for you to stay low-key then!” Bak Wun stood up. 


 “Since that’s the case, nothing shall keep me in check!” Chui Yim laughed loudly. 






A coach drove into the palace slowly. 


Two people were sitting opposite each other in the coach, which held a special standing in the South; commoners had to kneel and bow when they saw it, treating it like a sacred being. That was how special it was. 


The mount that pulled the coach was a grade-four gliphic beast, the Celestial Unicorn. 


It might be used as a mount, but it was a gliphic beast powerful enough to fight a four-chambered glipher. The gliphic beast represented the imperial family, and it was rare to see it drive a coach. 


Silence filled the coach. It might be due to both parties being used to taking the coach since they had both taken it countless times. Inside, Kan Hang and Emperor Lam, Lam Chun, sat opposite one another silently.
