Chapter 1736: Sword 1’s Presumptuous Request

“Lord Swordmaster, I have a presumptuous request.”

Sword 1 suddenly spoke up after a moment of silence after hearing the time limit Lin Huang gave himself to head out into the universe.

“Do tell.” Lin Huang nodded.

“I hope we can make a thorough investigation on the Raiders’ whereabouts again before we leave this great world. I want to see if we can locate that woman from before and avenge Swordmaster Great Heaven. I hope that Lord Swordmaster can give me some time and a certain level of authorization to accomplish this.”

Sword 1 was referring to the female Raider who had a history with Great Heaven and was suspected to have interfered with his unification process, causing it to fail.

“Great Heaven can be considered my teacher. Moreover, the day I received his inheritance, I already promised you that I would help you investigate this matter when the time was right, as well as to avenge him.”

“However, I’ve already killed all of the Raiders in this world. There was only one guy named Cunning Rabbit who had escaped to the universe. From what I know, he’s a man. He shouldn’t be the person we’re looking for.”

“Since you want to investigate, I’ll support you. I’ll give you half of the Sword Servants as manpower. After all, the Sword Alliance needs people to run it. If you need, you can get Sword 2 and the rest to help as well.”

“No need. I need Sword 2 and the rest to hold down the fort when I’m away,” Sword 1 rejected the offer, “I’ll pick a group of people from the Huang League.”

“You can use Heavenly Net’s intel as you wish as well. I’ll inform Yang Ling about it. He was a victim of the Raiders too. He’ll definitely agree to help,” Lin Huang added, “Also, you can use the information channels of the other organizations that are collaborating with Heavenly Net.”

“Thank you, Lord Swordmaster.” Sword 1 bowed deeply to express his gratitude. “I only need a year. As soon as a year’s time is up, regardless of whether I discover anything, I won’t bring this matter up again.”

“It doesn’t have to be a year. I’ll give you three years. You can allocate time to investigate as you wish before we head out into the universe.” Lin Huang waved. “Also, if you can’t find her in this world, it means that she might’ve escaped to the universe.”

“However, no matter where she’s run off to, we’ll find her sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time!”

“We must avenge Great Heaven! Even if we spend thousands or tens of thousands of years to find that woman, we must take revenge!”

“Thank you, Lord Swordmaster!” The 12 Sword Servants present got up at the same time and bowed deeply.

…

After leaving the meeting room, Lin Huang soon told Lin Xin, Yang Ling and the rest, as well as the crowd of imperial monsters such as Bloody and Kylie, about the three-year time limit.

He wanted to get them to settle everything that they had yet to settle in the great world as soon as possible.

Within half a minute of him sending the message out, Yang Ling sent a video call request directly.

Lin Huang took the call.

“What’s up?”

“You’re going out into the universe within three years? Why is it so urgent?”

“Because I’ve promised my friend from the universe that I’d participate in an exploration of a secret zone at that time.” Lin Huang did not say that it was a mystic territory, but rather a secret zone. The reason being was that if he did mention the mystic territory, he would have to explain to Yang Ling what it was. “I thought I’d seize the opportunity this time around and not come back.”

“Are you saying that you’ll bring us along to the universe?” Yang Ling asked.

If Lin Huang did not have such plans, theoretically, there was no need for him to tell them about the three-year agreement.

“I’d like to bring you guys along, but it’s still up to you guys to make the final decision. You guys can come along if you want to, or stay if you want to.” Lin Huang did not intend to force the decision upon them. Although he thought that Yang Ling’s Goldfinger was very useful, as a friend, he should respect his wishes.

“Let’s go then. I’ve never been to the universe.” Which man would not yearn to venture out into a whole new world? Naturally, Yang Ling was no exception.

“However, there’s some stuff that Hong Zhuang and I need to settle before leaving,” Yang Ling added, “I might need to use some of Heavenly Net’s resources to investigate something personal.”

“You guys have the full authorization when it comes to managing Heavenly Net anyway. Just do as you see fit.” Lin Huang did not mind that.

“That won’t do. We must separate public use and personal use. If we’re using it for personal matters, we need to inform you beforehand, or we’ll be crossing the line.” Yang Ling insisted. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. We mainly want to borrow Heavenly Net’s information channels to inquire into Hong Zhuang’s younger brother’s whereabouts to see if we can find him.”

“Does she really have a younger brother?” Lin Huang was rather surprised.

“Don’t you already know that?” Yang Ling felt speechless.

‘Wasn’t that a story that she made up to earn sympathy?’ Lin Huang did not voice his thoughts out loud in the end. He could only keep them to himself.

“Alright, I got it. You guys go ahead and use it,” Lin Huang agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the call, Lin Huang was still not sure whether Hong Zhuang really had a younger brother.

Perhaps she did make up a story and, in order to go all the way, she got Yang Ling to try to find him.

No matter what, Lin Huang could not see through this woman.

Perhaps only this kind of woman could tame Yang Ling.

…

Not long after Yang Ling hung up the call, Bloody sent a message.

“Our arrangement with the Nephilic Judge Tribe over here is almost done. Kina has completely adapted to the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s living environment, while the tribe is showing a high degree of acceptance of her. Not only that, she has been elevated to seventh-rank heavenly god-level. We happen to be waiting for the right time to send her to you to elevate her to lord-level.”

Kina was the Pseudo Pure Spirit rank-5.5 dependent that Kylie had mentioned to Lin Huang previously. Kylie planned to leave her with the Nephilic Judge Tribe to replace her to prevent the tribe from descending into chaos when she headed out into the universe.

Clearly, they had settled Kina down completely over this half a year period.

Now they were just waiting for Lin Huang to turn Kina into his imperial monster and use a Combat Strength Upgrade Card to elevate her to lord-level before they headed out into the universe.

Lin Huang thought about it and soon replied to Bloody’s message.

“There’s no rush for now. All we’ve got to do is to elevate her combat strength before we leave. You guys are needed to push forward the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s development as much as you can within the two to three years. When you guys are gone in the future, it might be difficult for Kina to do that alone. You guys must take that into consideration as well.”

Bloody replied quickly.

“We’ve thought about that. We’ll make the arrangements. In reality, the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s improvement has been much better than we expected in all aspects. Most of the obstacles from before came from the elderly, but the younger generation can easily accept new things. I believe the elderly’s perception will change gradually as new things surface that improve everyone’s living conditions, as well as provide more resources. The Nephilic Judge Tribe’s future will flourish. It only requires time.”

Lin Huang was relieved when he saw Bloody’s reply.

He replied anyway after thinking about it.

“I’m just worried that the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s current state might regress after you guys leave….”

However, he thought about it and deleted the message before he was done typing the sentence. He sent Bloody a new message.

“Just make the appropriate arrangements before you guys leave. They’ll have to depend on themselves in the future.”
