Chapter 117: Origin Weapons (III)



The government held all the advantages and the reinforcement of hot weapons at first. How did they still end up with fewer powerhouses among their ranks than the three great organizations? What kinda trash was that?

“Ai!” Wang Ming sighed. The straightforward Li Meng couldn’t hold her sentiments in.

“It’s all because of mysterious power! The founders of the three great organizations were supernatural before the Night Watchers were formed. They secretly accumulated their resources and seem to have occupied several large ruins or other treasures. Whatever it is, they can produce vast quantities of mysterious power.

“Being latecomers, our agency missed the best timing. We don’t have any ancient sites that can produce power or own any precious treasures that can collect energy. Even if we do, we have very few,” she explained despondently. “You tell me, are we an attractive proposition to supernaturals if we don’t have as much mysterious power? The turmoil in the central region is because of this, and we are the main reason for the disturbance!”

Wang Ming coughed slightly.

“What, I’m telling the truth!” Li Meng brushed him off. “In the Night Watcher headquarters… and I’m talking central headquarters—not Silver Moon, there are powerhouses who are unwilling to be limited by the three great organizations. They secretly eliminated a few smaller organizations and seized some treasures and sites that can produce mysterious power.

“Unfortunately, they were discovered as they weren’t very discreet. The three great organizations rose in revolt and waged battle after battle in the central region. They want to force the Night Watchers to hand over the killers. Add to that some people fishing in troubled waters… it’s almost all out war over there!

“Because of that, we keep a very low profile elsewhere—such as places like Silver Moon. The Night Watchers don’t dare rashly stir up trouble because they’re afraid of also losing control over the borderlands. There won’t be much help forthcoming from the central region. It’s enough that they’re holding the line against the three great organizations and others.”

Li Hao was rather taken aback by this new knowledge.

“Are you saying that we robbed people in the central region and then were… embroiled in a gang fight?”

“Yep!” Li Meng couldn’t stifle her laughter, despite the embarrassing description. “You’re right, it’s a gang fight! I hear that those above Solar have gone for several rounds! The central Night Watchers can’t hold off the mob by themselves, but they seem to have gone completely mad. They’ve even fired a few city annihilation missiles. Of course, a lot of people have died, so both sides are wary of each other. It’s utter mayhem over there.”

“Interesting.” Li Hao grinned. “So that means we’re rather domineering in the central region?”

Secretly exterminating entire organizations and taking their treasures! He’d thought that Night Watchers were all pretty incompetent—ahem, pretty resigned to the status quo. Take Silver Moon, for instance. They were being forced to give up cities!

Yet, the agency was starting the fight in the central region? How unexpected.

“We’re not that domineering,” Wang Ming took over the conversation since Li Meng had said everything she should, and then some. “We don\'t come off well in this incident, to be honest. It’s not that we specifically wanted to clash with the various organizations—that only leads to enormous losses—but that some of the younger Heaven Favored are out of control. They fear nothing and feel that there’s not enough mysterious power to go around, so they banded together and picked a small organization as their target!

“No one was aware at first, it was later exposed to the world. But with how things have developed, no one can take a step back. And so battle began.

“The situation was a powder keg to begin with, one that almost exploded. This was the fuse that ignited the entire central region,” Wang Ming sighed emotionally and shook his head. “Those Heaven Favored are not to be overlooked! I hear that both sides sat down at the negotiation table before war broke out, but those guys went and slaughtered the grandson of the Yama leader. They seized one of Yama’s treasures and thoroughly enraged the organization. Obviously, negotiations were a bust after that…”

Li Hao’s jaw dropped. “These guys are… really fierce, aren’t they? Or did they start this war on purpose?”

“I don’t know, I don’t think so, but even so… it’s not a big deal anymore,” Wang Ming coughed drily. “Apparently, that treasure is extremely important! Yama’s grandson only snuck it out to show off, but the Night Watcher Heaven Favored killed him and brought the item to headquarters.

“Those at headquarters hadn’t planned on waging a war, but couldn’t contain themselves after seeing the treasure and pounded the drums of battle! The chief commissioner says that the treasure can possibly produce large amounts of mysterious power, even unique mysterious power, and it can appraise one’s constitution!”

Appraise one’s constitution? What’s that?

“If I use the treasure on you, I can immediately tell what kind of mysterious power you’re most suited for and just give you that one. It will raise your chance of success to ninety percent! Keep in mind that’s incredibly high. We use a random induction process right now, it’s completely unsystematic if someone crosses over or not.

“Who has that much mysterious power to waste??

“If this treasure performs as the rumors say and nine succeed out of ten, then our strength will increase explosively! We have a greater population size, our internal structure is more stable, and we have a selection process to pick from the best.

“This may have been why the three great organizations were so powerful in the past. Being able to determine one’s constitution, to identify which mysterious power is the best match, and to almost ensure success with one induction… You tell me, isn’t this an extremely valuable treasure?”

Li Hao sucked in a sharp breath and nodded emphatically. Very valuable indeed! The Night Watchers drifted below the three great organizations likely because they lacked this. If he was part of the Night Watcher senior council, he would never give back the treasure. To war it was then! They could have their battles! They would fight even in the face of casualties, the treasure would never be returned!

No wonder the situation in the central region had become so bad that cities were being leveled.

Li Hao felt that he’d truly enriched his knowledge during this car ride. He swiftly understood the core of the central region turmoil. People from the big cities knew more, alright! His teacher didn’t know about this, much less Liu Long. A Darkmoon like Wang Ming, however, knew all of the specifics.

“So is that treasure… still with the Night Watchers?”

“Of course, or they would’ve stopped fighting a long time ago,” Wang Ming chuckled. “As crazy as the conflict may be over there, chaos also serves a purpose! I hear that improvement comes very quickly there because there’s so many clashes. There used to be very few Night Watchers above Solar, but a new face has ascended recently and they’re not very old.

“All of the various organizations are involved in the war. The three great organizations don’t want the Night Watchers to grow stronger, the mid and smaller organizations want a chance to seize the treasure. They want a piece of the pie. If they can lay hands on an item that can identify the constitution and strengthen them, they’ll have the ability to stand up to the three great organizations!”

Therefore, enormous amounts of supernaturals were involved in the central region. Battle meant opportunity and many climbed higher. Darkmoons died everyday, too many to be counted. People also made the crossover to the supernatural domain everyday, so the losses didn’t matter.

“This war better not stop too quickly,” the quiet Hu Hao suddenly spoke up. “Otherwise… trouble will come for Director Li and Professor Yuan!”

Red Moon powerhouses didn’t have time to spare for the duo because they couldn’t afford to send more powerhouses to Silver City. But once the central war was over, a puny Silver Moon and a singular Yuan Shuo wouldn’t be able to stand up to them.

Li Hao didn’t care. “Come if they will, we’re not weak!” He grinned.

“……” The trio ignored him. He did not know the immensity of heaven and earth! Did he think a few Darkmoons and Sunderers could withstand Red Moon?

What a joke. This guy really didn’t understand the cruelty of the supernatural domain.

Li Hao didn’t continue the conversation; he was very satisfied with the sudden amount of information he’d obtained. Red Moon most likely wouldn’t be able to deploy large numbers of experts for the next rainy season because they were embroiled in the central region. They couldn’t easily extract themselves from it.

If only a few came, perhaps he could butcher them one by one for meat.

As for the central region… Li Hao hardly nurtured a death wish. He’d heard the trio loud and clear. Those above Solar constantly clashed in battle and sometimes died. The situation was terrifying. His teacher would be going to his death if he went. But when it came to the treasures, ruins, and those that could produce mysterious power—those Li Hao were very interested in.

Could his jade sword produce an endless flow of unique mysterious power? Or was it depleted after it was all consumed?

“Right, is that mysterious power limitless?” he suddenly asked. “Those treasures, for example, can they produce more energy after it’s absorbed?”

“The various organizations have their ways to resolve this issue,” Wang Ming explained. “Some can convert other things into mysterious power or replenish what was inside. These treasures are needed as the intermediary. They have a special name in the supernatural domain—origin weapons! Any organization that possesses an origin weapon is worthy of attention. It means they can continuously raise new supernaturals!”

Origin weapons! They can be replenished and convert energy… Li Hao’s thoughts flew rapidly. Why did he think that the weapons of the eight families were possibly all origin weapons? Surely not!

There might be eight weapons, or there might not be since the folk song mentioned some of them didn’t use weapons. If they were origin weapons and eight at a time…

Damn!

“Then… is the sword I sent over last time an origin weapon?” Li Hao asked probingly.

“How is that possible?” Wang Ming broke out in laughter. “Origin weapons aren’t that easy to come by. But… your sword is sealed, so it’s hard to say. If it is, then that’s frightening. Red Moon has taken an uncountable number of them so I hope… it’s not. It’d be too terrifying if their strength increases so much again.”

However, Li Hao thought it highly likely that it was one.
