Chapter 316: Isn’t It You?Chen Ming stood above the teleportation array reading the information on Bu Liuhen. He trained in the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps to completion. He needn’t use the paths to immortality, traveling the Galaxy as he wished. That’s a good immortal art right there.

With it, I will no longer be bound by the path to immortality.

But by the looks of things, Bu Liuhen has yet to reach this stage. Had he done it, he would have been long gone by now.

Seems that saving Bu Liuhen is going to be easy.

Chen Ming wished to go to the star where Bu Liuhen has last been seen, but Heavenly Court’s Sovereigns barred the teleportation array. The cultivators started complaining, “Why is the teleportation array blocked? We have urgent matters to attend to!”

“Why now? Wasn’t it safe just a while ago?”

“Just what in the h.e.l.l happened?”

The immortal official in charge stated, “Bu Liuhen’s trace was found on the next star. Before he is killed, the teleportation array will remain sealed. Disperse!”

Chen Ming made his own a.s.sessment of the situation, Bu Liuhen should be on the run right now, or perhaps hiding.

Through the four bandits’ inquiries, Chen Ming knew Heavenly Court dispatched many Celestial Immortal for the killing of Bu Liuhen.

With Bu Liuhen cornered on the last star, he has nowhere to escape.

Three days. If Bu Liuhen can keep it together for three days, then he is a man of great talent. And if his Eight Dragon-ascending Steps reaches completion, he’ll become a G.o.d of thievery. His power might not be much but victory comes down to who is most unpredictable.

This is the kind of man I need to entice.

These three days dragged on for ages by the time Chen Ming opened his eyes, “It’s time.”

Chen Ming went to another courtyard, home to the four bandits and set up a silencing array with a wave. This kind of array didn’t pose any difficulty to a master like him.

Then another waved crushed the four in silence.

“Your mission is now over, but I can’t leave a trail behind me. Unfortunately, you must die. This is how I, the chivalrous Immortal Master Chen, wipes out the sc.u.m of society.”

Chen Ming entered the courtyard, closed the door and sat on the bed. He took out the Faceless mask, “Three days are up. If you’re still alive, you are worthy of being my Blade.”

“I, the crownless supreme, am the liaison walking the edge between light and shadow. Henceforth, I call thy name, thief Bu Liuhen…”

b.l.o.o.d.y Bu Liuhen hid in a cave, home of the dead bear lying next to him.

Bu Shenlian gave him a pill, “Dad, this is the last one.”

Bu Liuhen’s eyes grew teary, “Dad is unable to protect you. In this world, heaven is dead.”

“Dad, if you go out to fight, please kill me first.”

She didn’t want to be tarnished by that filth. Resigned to his fate, Bu Liuhen closed his eyes. He couldn’t find any words, as anything said in such a situation had no effect.

Father and daughter stood in silence when a black robe wooshed before them. Half of his face was crying while the other was laughing.

His figure was elusive, as not even Bu Liuhen could see through him.

This brought him back to three hundred years ago, to the only ones appearing out of thin air in such bizarre fas.h.i.+on, the Faceless of Headless a.s.sembly.

Bu Shenlian was astounded by this man, yet he didn’t seem human, but a shadow.

“L-lord Faceless?”

Chen Ming was also in amazement, So this is how it feels. I am taking such a shape when appearing before Bu Liuhen. The one next to him must be his daughter.

Chen Ming activated Enlighten Aura and Control Aura, “I have an offer you can’t refuse.”

Bu Liuhen had to put an effort to get up. If it was any other, he would have outright laughed. The Heavenly Court was hunting him and the Jade Lake cast him aside. Who out there had the power to save him?

He lost hope of such a person ever existing, but now hope was lit.

In his presence laid the mysterious and mighty Faceless. When all hope was lost, the Faceless, gone from this Constellation for three hundred years, had shown himself here.

A drowning man would grasp even straws.

Bu Liuhen probed, “If lord Faceless intervenes, Bu Liuhen is willing to serve sire for all eternity!

Chen Ming’s right hand shook.

A fan spread and covered his laughing face with it, leaving the crying part alone, emphasized by activating King Slayer Aura, “I’m terribly sorry, but you can’t afford me.”

Chen Ming eyed him for a bit, He doesn’t lack auras. The number he had was beyond any man Chen Ming has ever seen.

But no amount of auras are of any freakin’ use!

Look at Zhuo Qingyao, Li Suyi, and Ling Xian. They have few, true, but made up for it in quality!

One was worth tens of others!

But there was one aura in Bu Liuhen’s repertoire that caught his eye.

‘G.o.d of Thievery Aura lvl3

Description: all can be stolen in this vast world, except a woman’s heart.

Effect: pickpocketing for so many years greatly increases your chance of stealing.’

Greatly increase… that’s not a bad effect.

I, Immortal Master Chen, want him.

Bu Liuhen’s heart far from lost hope at his words, they actually rekindled it.

Yeah, who is he if not a Faceless!

Over the entire Galaxy, the strongest in every faction was the Faceless. Other generals paled in comparison.

To the point that the Faceless’ war was the one among themselves, while those with the outside couldn’t be called such.

Yes, the Headless a.s.sembly was that abnormal. They were so strong their only opponent was among themselves…

Of course, part of the reason for their strength was their internal strife, leading to such a situation…

Chen Ming continued, “Moreover, such enemies are not worth my involvement.”

Bu Liuhen asked, “Will lord send his Blades to the rescue?”

Chen Ming covered his crying side with the fan as if he was laughing, “Correct.”

Bu Liuhen asked, “May I ask where are lord’s Blades?”

Chen Ming stared at him, “Isn’t it you?”
