The Human Emperor (1-200)

C138: Progress in the Chess Match

These were matters that were deeply etched in Wang Chong’s mind.

These were the deepest regrets Wang Chong felt after he became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains. Due to the lack of these ultimate arts, the fight to save Central Plains became exceptionally difficult.

Until his death, Wang Chong was unable to surpass his limit to reach that legendary level!

Thus, in this life, Wang Chong strongly desired to obtain these ultimate techniques that would become lost in the near future.

It was for him, as well for these ultimate techniques.

Thus, the old man who possessed the 《Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art》 had always been an important figure on Wang Chong’s list.

However, it was a pity that this old man was too elusive and mysterious.

Even that young man back then also didn’t know much about his mysterious and powerful demonic arts teacher, only knowing that he was addressed as ‘Demonic Emperor Old Man’. Given how big the capital was, how would Wang Chong know when he would be backstabbed and where he would appear?

Thus, Wang Chong could only request for Wei Hao’s help.

“There’s no need to rush this matter. You just have to take note of the matter for me and inform me if there’s any bizarre old men.”

Wang Chong knew that he had given the other party too little details, and his actions were no different from searching for a needle in a haystack. To hope to find the Demonic Emperor Old Man through such minor details was nigh impossible, even with the connections of the Wei Clan.

Circling around the capital with Wei Hao, Wang Chong noticed that Wei Hao had done a good job with the Charity Hall. There were many people at the door, and inside, there were clothes, food, drink, as well as a place to rest… The facilities were rather complete.

There were experts in the Wei Clan that dealt with such matters, so it was much better to leave it to them.

“I will have Shen Hai prepare another fifty thousand gold taels, so open up a few more Charity Halls. You should also open a few in the other regions outside of the capital as well. Also, help me continue taking note of the old man I spoke of! Inform me once you get any news.”

“Alright!”

Wei Hao agreed readily.

After chatting for a moment with Wei Hao, Wang Chong let Wei Hao down before slowly walking to the Ghost Tree District. Thinking about it now, given that he had spent the past month cultivating on the spirit vein in the mountains, it had been awhile since he was last here.

“Big brother!”

Except for a young child squatting beneath the Chinese scholar tree, there was nearly no one in the surroundings. Upon seeing Wang Chong, he hurriedly stood up. His eyes lit up, and his face flushed with excitement.

“Little fellow, you’re still here!”

Wang Chong patted his head with a smile as he casually passed a candied haw stick which he bought off a roadside merchant to him.

“Big brother, why have you been gone for so long? Grandfather has asked about you several times, and he thought that you weren’t coming back!”

The child named ‘Jianjian’ said.

Even though the other party didn’t mean anything by it, Wang Chong’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat upon hearing that the grandfather Jianjian spoke of had asked about him.
