Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 883: Battle of the Century

In the southern camp.

April mumbled, “Why is our life so hard? This time when we return to City No.10, we must eat hot pot for seven days. No, ten days.”

The surrounding crows chuckled kindly, “The boss and the others are on the front lines in the south, taking all the six-eyed crows with them, so it can’t be any easier for them. This year’s work is particularly abundant, and the New Year is almost here. I guess the bonus won’t be small this year.”

A group of transcendent corpse collectors stood in the bloody battlefield, discussing hot pot and year-end bonuses, a highly incongruous picture.

The crows neatly collected the bodies of the transcendents one by one and then prepared to move on northwards without looking back.

The Grand Elder of the Fire Pit saw this and curiously asked, “Wait, where are you going?”

April turned back and replied, “Of course, we are going to continue collecting transcendents. We might even find some taboo objects.”

“Hmm?” The Grand Elder stroked his beard in confusion, “Isn’t this your destination? There’s also a field division next door. Aren’t you going there?”

“No need to go there,” April sighed, “Someone over there likes to use transcendents for tea cultivation. They usually take the corpses of transcendents directly. We currently don’t want to have a direct confrontation with that person, so we plan to outlast him, then go and collect his tea garden!”

“Ah?” Li Ke was stunned, “Is it Qing’s shadow dealing with the field division next door?”

Very few people in the Federation knew about the shadow using transcendents for tea cultivation, but as a core member of the Li Family, Li Ke had heard about it.

The Li Family once sent people specifically to find that tea garden, but unfortunately, they couldn’t locate it.

What’s strange is that the Contraindicated Courts actually said they didn’t want to have a direct conflict with someone?

It’s known that the Contraindicated Courts once contained a dying demigod.

Back then, a demigod whose life was about to end planned to hide in the depths of the No. 001 Taboo Land as they believed that being captured by the Contraindicated Courts would prevent them from reincarnating.

But before they could hide, they were found and forcibly contained by the Contraindicated Courts.

That battle cost the Contraindicated Courts dearly, but the containment was ultimately successful.

The Contraindicated Courts rarely do such things, so many people forgot the cruel principle upheld by these crows: they occasionally contain the living too!

Yet such an existence is unwilling to be enemies with Qing’s shadow, planning to outlast the shadow? That’s really strange.

April thought for a moment and explained, “This is a very special existence. He alone controls both time and space. Fortunately, the world is fair; such an existence won’t last long in the world. We sensed the decaying aura from him, so there’s no need to rush.”

The Grand Elder of Fire Pit curled his lips, “So the Contraindicated Courts can compromise too.”

April seriously corrected, “This is strategy.”

It was well known that the Contraindicated Courts were previously a non-strategic organization.

At this time, Li Yunjing asked, “Is the north your destination?”

April nodded, “We are just passing through here. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have to work overtime… No more talk, we’re almost late.”

The Grand Elder of Fire Pit turned to the other side, seeing Ye Wan walking west with Lin Xiaoxiao on his back, “Hey, Ye Wan, aren’t you heading north?”

“No, our task is completed,” Ye Wan calmly responded.

“Huh? Your boss is clearly going to start a battle in the north. Aren’t you afraid he’ll die there if you don’t help?” The Grand Elder of Fire Pit gloatingly said, “The Jindai Consortium used two field divisions as bait, dragging everyone who could help him here. Isn’t it obviously aiming for Uncle Li’s life? As far as I know, the lifespan of knights is very long. Someone like Uncle Li, who has reached demigod level, can live for three to five hundred years at least. For those filthy individuals at Jindai, his body is a perfect vessel… including his apprentice Qing Chen.”

Old Man continued his gloating analysis, “Jindai used such a grand scheme; if it were just for a little knight, that would be inexplicable. So I guess their plan always included Uncle Li from the beginning.”

There were many details that Old Man did not know, but as the Grand Elder of the Fire Pit, he knew that when a consortium pays a corresponding price, it must have a plot matching that price.

A single Qing Chen was not enough to make Jindai suffer such a heavy loss.

But if it was to seize two perfect bodies, and one of them was a demigod, then this price made sense!

Just as he finished speaking, the Grand Elder of Fire Pit saw Qin Yiyi running north.

He hurriedly grabbed the girl’s arm in anger, “You little ancestor, where are you going?”

“To help!” Qin Yiyi said.

The Grand Elder was almost enraged to death, “I’m provoking them, and you’re the one who got provoked first!”

This was truly bringing laughter upon himself!

The Grand Elder continued, “Listen to me, going north is useless, really useless! Li Yunjing and I are exhausted; if we go, we will just be going to our deaths!”

As he spoke, Old Man took advantage of Qin Yiyi’s moment of distraction, knocked her out with a palm strike, and carried her south, “Let’s all go now. Jindai lost two field divisions; their main force will surely come soon. Ye Wan, whether your boss can survive or not, we have fulfilled our duty! I advise you to head north and help out at least!”
