Chapter 1169: Chapter 1155: The Power of the Moon
There is no denying.
It’s difficult for anyone to remain calm in the face of a ten-year lifespan.
Because ten years of life extension not only increases lifespan, but also treats hidden ailments within the body and restores cell vitality.
This is something that Immortals envy.
However.
Immortals often need more lifespan to restore themselves to reaches Peak state.
"Alright, if you give each of us ten years of lifespan, we’ll let you go. Frankly, Nancy, I’ve always admired you. Although your strength isn’t the strongest among the enforcers, your intellect is top-notch.’
Forty years in total.
As long as you can provide that, we’ll leave Abaida and forge evidence that you’re no longer on this planet, giving you time to escape."
Hanla laughed softly.
Nancy looked at their greedy eyes and no longer hesitated. With a flick of her wrist, she took out the Pen of the Years.
When the four saw this pen, the greed in their eyes was unmistakable.
The real thing!
It’s really the old man’s pen.
Nancy had always been valued by the old man, being a small leader among the enforcers. There were even rumors she was the old man’s illegitimate child.
That’s how Nancy could access the Pen of the Years and the Ashen Ledger.
And.
Know how to use these two magical artifacts.
"Hurry up, Nancy. You shouldn’t need us to intervene, right?" Barol urged impatiently.
Nancy took a deep breath, seeing the malicious and greedy eyes of the four, she no longer hesitated, extended her right hand into the void, and after a moment of stirring, she pulled out a gray-black ledger.
The edges of this ledger seemed like paper burned by intense flames, constantly shedding black ashes.
The Ashen Ledger got its name from this.
"Amazing, no wonder the old man wants you dead, you actually brought out these two things."
Hanla’s crazed gaze carried a hint of apprehension.
Even if Nancy handed them the Ashen Ledger, they wouldn’t dare accept it, as that would mean facing the entire enforcer’s wrath.
"Alright then, let’s do it."
Nancy used the Pen of the Years on the Ashen Ledger. Four globes of light immediately arose and merged into their bodies.
For a moment.
An indescribable feeling washed over the four.
They felt their bodies become youthful and vibrant, an immense sense of power pervading them.
"This feeling, is this what gaining lifespan feels like?"
Barol’s eyes were filled with excitement, he glanced at Nancy and smiled: "Not bad, I hope you survive the old man’s pursuit.
If one day you manage to take him down, contact me, I’d be happy to collaborate with someone as daring as you."
The four didn’t continue to pressure Nancy for more lifespan.
They thought that even if they continued, Nancy couldn’t offer much more, and it might lead to uncontrollable developments.
However.
As the four were about to leave, they suddenly sensed the Spiritual Fluctuation from upstairs.
They paused in their tracks.
Turning to look at Nancy.
"Who’s upstairs?"
Hanla asked in a deep voice.
Nancy stepped back cautiously: "A friend of mine. I wouldn’t flee to a city without acquaintances."
The four didn’t leave; instead, they all directed their gaze upstairs, quietly approaching the staircase and stealthily moved up.
Creak.
The door opened.
Just as the four were about to act, an invisible Spirituality swept out, making them feel like small boats in a oceanic storm, on the verge of being overwhelmed by this immense Spirituality.
They found it hard to lift their feet, difficult to move their bodies.
In front of them, Baiyu lay peacefully asleep in a dream. Black light spread from him layer by layer, with barbed black thorns surrounding him protectively.
Their minds went blank, just about to flee.
Only to realize those eerie black mists had, at some point, reached them.
Thud!
The sound of bodies dropping echoed consecutively.
Before they could even call for help, they lay lifeless on the floor, turned into corpses.
In the dream.
Baiyu sat under a large tree, brows slightly furrowed.
"It seems someone broke into your room in the real world. However, if they harbor ill intentions, my power will retaliate." Moon softly said.
"Let’s call it a day then, I’ll come find you next time." Baiyu stood up, his Spirit beginning to gradually descend, as if falling from the clouds, returning swiftly to his body.
Opening his eyes.
The first thing Baiyu saw were the bodies lying haphazardly on the ground, four of them, with no visible wounds or signs of a struggle.
"Is this the power of the Moon? Quite eerie indeed." Baiyu murmured.
He snapped his fingers, and flames swiftly swept out, burning their clothing to nothing in an instant.
Carved into their bodies.
A mark resembling a dueling sword.
Nancy had told him this was the mark of the enforcers.
"Did the enforcers find their way here so quickly, managing to enter the room without me noticing? Luckily, I was here; if not, both Nancy and Cang Yan would have been in grave danger."
Baiyu’s eyes sharpened as he swiftly descended the staircase, relieved to see Nancy was unharmed. A quick sweep of his Spirituality revealed Cang Yan unconscious in the hallway.
"What happened? I was meditating earlier and didn’t know the enforcers arrived."
Baiyu looked towards Cang Yan and Nancy.
"These bastards tried to kill me upon arriving. Luckily, I kept them at bay with an intense fight, buying you enough time! Baiyu, you really owe me for this one." Cang Yan shamelessly boasted.
Baiyu patted the bump on her head: "Looks like you need more training. Coincidentally, I’m free these days. How about we intensify your training regimen?"
"Um, I’m really busy, I need to study the knowledge of Sealing Objects, no time." Cang Yan waved her paw twice and then darted into the room.
Once she was gone, Baiyu looked seriously at Nancy: "How did they find you and track you here?"
Nancy shook her head: "I don’t know. My previous actions likely left some traces that they followed.
Among the enforcers, there’s an Extraordinary with a Divination Sequence.
If they have traces of mine, they can roughly determine my location."
"A Divination Sequence, huh? What a troublesome Extraordinary Ability.’ Baiyu frowned and didn’t hesitate: "We need to relocate."
"Leave Abaida City?"
Nancy seemed hesitant: "Once we leave Abaida City, it’ll be easier to be tracked. Within Abaida City, the enforcers wouldn’t dare to search wantonly, plus there’s a larger population, making it easier to hide."
"No, I never said we’re leaving Abaida City." Baiyu smiled mysteriously: "Let’s get some sleep first. Tomorrow, once we wake up, we’ll move to a new place."
"Wait, I need to take back the lifespan I just handed out."
