Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 894: 550. Stuck bug

“Grandfather, we’ll soon meet the supporting troops. Don’t worry, they are all your death warriors, without any of the Family Head’s people,” Jindai Yuncang said, panting heavily.

He controlled Seibozu to carry Jindai Chika on its back, swiftly running across the snowfield.

In the snow-blown field, the young man seemed somewhat frantic.

Jindai Yuncang was a rare genius in the Jindai family. At 24, he had stepped into the A-Class, and now at 30, he was expected by many to enter the demigod realm.

Compared to the fallen Jindai Yunsong at Li Yunjing’s hands, he might be lacking, but he was already a leader among the younger generation.

Initially, in the Jindai Consortium’s plan to capture Qing Chen, he was the executor.

Only because his daughter in City 23 was infected with a neural virus, he had no choice but to rush home, handing over command to Jindai Yunhe.

This time, Jindai Yuncang accompanied Jindai Chika to kill Uncle Li Dong. What he didn’t expect was that the demigod of the same age from the Chen Family was incredibly powerful!

During the battle, the ancestor used Tamamo no Mae to clash head-on with Zhong Kui and the Divine Deer.

At that moment, Jindai Yuncang almost believed that his grandfather should have won. As long as Tamamo no Mae could hold on until his grandfather summoned back the four great Shikigami, and with the reinforcements of Hannya and Kyoukotsu, the new generation of demigod from the Chen Family would certainly die!

If judged by demigod slaying capability, Jindai Onmyoji were the strongest over many past eras.

Because they were numerous, suitable for besieging and pursuing.

However, what Jindai Yuncang didn’t expect was.

Chen Yu saw Zhong Kui and the Divine Deer restrained by Tamamo no Mae and only let out a slight exclamation before instantly unfurling ten painting scrolls from a bamboo basket…

In an instant, ten Buddhas emerged, each holding sacred artifacts, forcefully blocking all of Jindai Chika’s Shikigami, severely wounding the Jindai family’s great ancestor to near death.

At that scene, Zard only felt like Sun Wukong following Master Tang Sanzang to the Great Thunder Sound Temple…

Afterwards, Chen Yu merely glanced at Zard, scaring him enough to grab Huan Yu and run away.

Jindai Yuncang thought, even if the ancestor was in his prime, he might still struggle against the current Chen Yu. One must know, this new generation of demigod from the Chen Family is only 30 years old!

Fortunately, the first battle of the Federation’s five demigods ended abruptly with the arrival of the Jindai Northern Fleet Group; no one wanted to continue entangling to their death.

Luckily, the current Jindai Family Head is ambitious but lacks the matching vision and wit!

However, just as Jindai Yuncang was pondering, suddenly someone furiously shouted from the slanted rear of the snowfield, “Dog thief, meet your end!”

As soon as the voice fell, a giant earth gate suddenly rose up in front of Jindai Yuncang and Jindai Chika, standing like a towering mountain, with the words Death’s Gate written on it.

“Audacious child,” the aged Jindai Chika weakly said, only to see Kyoukotsu manifest before him, crashing through the “Death’s Gate”.

Jindai Yuncang didn’t stop; he had no need to tangle with a madman!

Zard and Huan Yu silently watched from not far away.

Zard laughed, “Hahaha, how embarrassing, how can he still summon Shikigami?”

Huan Yu replied with a blank expression, “Is this what you told me about, coming to intercept and kill the Jindai Old Turtle? Your earth wall isn’t sturdy at all, so weak yet you want to kill a demigod?”

Zard got annoyed too, “Obviously he’s the one who broke the earth wall, what are you talking about me for!”

Huan Yu: “…”

He put on his white headphones, zipped up the front of his parka, and turned to walk westward.

“Hey, boss, where are you going?”

“To a place without you for a few days.”

“Don’t go! I’ll miss you!”

At this moment, the great ancestor of the Jindai family lay on Seibozu’s back, panting, “Yuncang, I’ve roamed my whole life, yet now I end up like this. The Family Head deceives me into killing Uncle Li Dong, preparing a knight’s body for me, but I never thought it was to stab me in the back and harm one of our own.”

Jindai Yuncang’s eyes reddened. The ancestor had always been good to him, guiding his cultivation and helping him stabilize his family status. Now seeing the ancestor in such a state made him feel terrible.

After running for an unknown time, Jindai Yuncang finally saw the A-Class floating ship on the ground: “Grandfather, the people to meet us have arrived!”

Jindai Chika remained silent, only faintly breathing, as if he might die at any moment.

In the direction of the floating ship, thirty-six black-clad death warriors immediately came to greet them.

Jindai Chika was taken onto the bridge while Jindai Yuncang, in the command cabin, immediately ordered to take off and leave.

He had already seen the traces of the Northern Fleet on the radar.

“Officer Yuncang, the ancestor is calling for you,” a death warrior whispered, “We’ve injected the ancestor with adrenaline. After he explains things to you, he’ll need to enter the hibernation pod. The ancestor’s situation is dire, he may pass at any time.”

Jindai Yuncang hurried to the rear of the bridge, entering the medical bay, only to see Jindai Chika lying naked on a white bed, face masked with an oxygen mask, and his body connected to various instrument tubes.

The old man barely removed the oxygen mask, “Yuncang, come over here; I have a few things to tell you.”

Jindai Yuncang approached, but in the next second, he realized something was wrong. Hannya and Shuten-doji appeared suddenly on either side of him, and from behind, Kyoukotsu struck his carotid artery with a hard chop.

Jindai Yuncang lay on the ground in disbelief, his powerful A-Class physique still retained a bit of consciousness.

Outside the medical bay, black-clad death warriors pushed a stretcher and lifted Jindai Yuncang onto it, expertly connecting over ten tubes to him.

The next moment, silvery liquid flowed into both Jindai Chika and Jindai Yuncang’s bodies through the tubes.

It was then that Jindai Yuncang suddenly understood why the ancestor had brought him here, why the ancestor personally guided his cultivation.

In the end, he had always been a vessel prepared by the ancestor for himself.

The A-Class floating ship quickly flew to the nearest military base, an area controlled by the Onmyoji faction.

When the floating ship landed, the ground guiding troops saw Jindai Yuncang stepping off the ship with reddened eyes, lamenting, “The ancestor is gone, killed by the Chen family’s Chen Yu!”

The young Onmyoji spoke with genuine emotion.

Following closely were the black-clad death warriors carrying Jindai Chika’s corpse, walking slowly down, without covering it with a white cloth. Everyone could clearly see Jindai Chika’s deathly gray face.

The military base was in upheaval. A demigod had fallen!

Every demigod’s fall will bring shockwaves throughout the entire Federation!

…

…

Inside the dark carriage, it was silent.

Li Cheng suddenly asked, “Boss, how long until this darkness passes?”

Qing Chen: “3, 2, 1.”

In an instant, the black steam train suddenly emerged from the void, and the sunlight outside instantly shone through the car windows.

In the temperature-controlled carriage, the fluttering snow was no longer cold. The soldiers had never thought that snow could be so beautiful.

Yes, for the past 19 years their experience with snow had been cruel, icy, usually accompanied by death.

The soldiers stared in amazement.

Qing Ling couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, how did you know the steam train would appear at that time, in that place?”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “It’s nothing that can’t be said, it was the last gift from Li Family Master Li Xiurui before his farewell.”

In the apartment the old man gave him, there was a gold coin and a map.

The map detailed the steam train’s exact schedule, routes, and stop times, with each stop lasting only 10 minutes, fleetingly passing by.

Moreover, the steam train’s route changes every quarter, each route lasts 27 days,but actually finding its patterns wasn’t difficult for a consortium like the Li Family, it just depends on whether you want to do it.

The old man only had to send someone with supplies, ride four times a year, staying the full 27 days each time, to map out the route.

The map also records other patterns of the steam train in detail, such as when it leaves the station it will enter the void for ten minutes, during which it can traverse over two hundred kilometers and no one can track it.

Sitting in the carriage, even if a Susano’s Man were thrown overhead, the people inside the carriage would remain unharmed.

Thus, many fugitives in the Central Plains like to use this steam train to transport goods.

The contents of the cargo included genetic potions, chemical drugs, organs, trafficked women, and more.

Of course, there are also all sorts of eccentric individuals who enjoy riding this train.

The detail of the map is akin to a treasure book.

And this map is what gave Qing Chen the confidence to bring away over nine hundred people this time, it was also his only method for planning to take all the soldiers in the Outer World.

Of course, there was an element of gambling because he had never ridden the steam train, but he was betting based on the information Li Xiurui had given him, trusting that the old man wouldn’t deceive him.

He was also gambling that the steam train ticket was one or two pieces of gold, which would be an astronomical figure for these nine hundred people, so Qing Chen was gambling that the tail ring named ‘Power’, since it could open all doors and locks in the world, could definitely open the steam train.

Using a bug of taboo items to unlock another taboo item, this made Qing Chen overjoyed.

However, what the old man really gave him wasn’t how to use a taboo item, but the old man’s own youthful dream, given to Qing Chen.

That one-ounce heavy gold coin was actually a ticket to ‘freedom’.

That was the most precious gift.

Slowly, the sound of sobbing arose in the carriage, those strong warriors, after a long period of befuddlement and sluggishness, finally realized they were truly free!

This miraculous steam train would carry them back to their hometown, and embark on new journeys!

Lao Lee hesitated for a moment and said, “Boss, do you have any plans next?”

Qing Chen smiled, “Currently, there’s no specific plan.”

Lao Lee was slightly disappointed.

What he actually meant was: Boss, is there anywhere you might need us?

They wanted to follow Qing Chen.

To be honest, having seen the northern fleet like a black city crushing down, and witnessing a miracle in an instant, their hearts would no longer be convinced of anyone other than Qing Chen.

So, when Qing Chen said he had no plans, Lao Lee felt a bit disappointed, thinking Qing Chen might be letting them retire and return home.

At this moment, Qing Chen thought for a while and said, “You all don’t need to rush to work, the most important thing is to make up for the things you missed in the past, this way you can follow me with no distractions to do some things.”

Lao Lee: “Boss forever!”

Qing Ling: “Boss is awesome!”

The cheers now were way more serious than those of the knight couriers, at least without phrases like ‘mother and child safe’.

In the sound of cheers, Qing Chen silently stood up, he walked through carriage after carriage to the end of the train.

In that last carriage, sure enough, it was filled to the brim with gold, just doing a rough calculation shows that one cubic meter of gold at 380 yuan per gram is 7.3 billion, was there not over a trillion worth of gold here?

When Qing Chen approached the last carriage, the steam train body shook, filled with struggling emotions.

But the young man didn’t take any gold from inside, he just stood at the carriage door, gently tossing in the gold coin Li Xiurui the old man had given him.

“If ever again you give me my youth, one ounce of gold, one ounce of wind, thank you.”

That’s all for tonight’s chapter, we’ll be back to two chapters tomorrow.
