Chapter 4094: The Dark Net

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Myriad Laws Academy’s single dormitory was individual small courtyards with their own illusory landscapes. Although they were not s.p.a.cious, they were rather nice and tranquil.

At this moment…

Swoos.h.!.+

A figure suddenly appeared outside of one of these small courtyards and asked with a smile, “w.a.n.g Yun Sheng, if you’re not busy cultivating, can I come in?”

The figure belonged to a handsome young man dressed in a green robe. His smile was as warm as the sun.

!!

After the young man’s voice fell, a voice rang from inside the stone house in the courtyard.

“What brings you here?”

Following that, the door swung open, and a tall and burly young man walked out. His appearance was ordinary, but his gaze was cold.

The green-clad young man flew into the courtyard and took a seat on a bench that was placed next to a small pool. He crossed his legs and placed his hands on the back of the bench, making himself comfortable. It was as though he was the owner of the courtyard.

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng looked at the green-clad young man with no change in his expression as though he was already used to the green-clad young man’s behavior. He asked with a hint of impatience, “So what brings you here?”

The green-clad young man smiled meaningfully before he said, “Do you know that Duan Ling Tian, the prodigy from the emperor-rank Pure Yang Sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, has joined the Myriad Laws Academy?”

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng nodded before he asked, “You came because of that?”

The green-clad young man chuckled. “I heard that he refused to join the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation even though they sent a Supreme Powerhouse to recruit him. Hey, he clearly looks down on the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. As one of the congregation’s Holy Sons, are you going to let that slide?”

Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng scoffed. “Xiao An, did you come just to say this? If I’m not mistaken, Duan Ling Tian refused to join the Scholar Woods Divine Manor as well.”

Both w.a.n.g Yu Shen and Xiao An were the most outstanding young prodigies from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation and the Scholar Woods Divine Manor respectively. They enrolled in the Myriad Laws Academy hoping to learn in the academy and understand the strengths of their peers.

When the duo first joined the Myriad Laws Academy, they sparred numerous times, but their sparring sessions always ended in a tie. As time pa.s.sed, they had gotten rather familiar with each other even if they could not exactly be considered friends.

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng had always been aloof, but that did not stop Xiao An from looking for him, which caused w.a.n.g Yun Sheng to feel annoyed and helpless. There was nothing he could do about it since he could not defeat Xiao An. Despite his displeasure, he acknowledged Xiao An’s strength. Perhaps, that was why he was still somewhat tolerant of Xiao An.

“Your intelligence network is quite wide,” Xiao An remarked before he continued to say, “Do you want to test this prodigy whom Vice Academy Master Yang personally recruited? This is unprecedented. The two of us didn’t even receive this kind of treatment. Moreover, I heard that Vice Academy Master Yang even addressed him as ‘junior brother’.”

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng said indifferently, “If you want to test him, do it yourself. Don’t even think about using me.”

“How boring,” Xiao An said as he rose to his feet. He shrugged and continued to say, “I’m just saying. If you’re unwilling, then forget about it.”

Xiao An’s expression turned solemn as he said, “The main purpose of my visit is to discuss a matter with you.”

After saying that, Xiao An surveyed his surroundings vigilantly before he said something through Voice Transmission.

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng frowned in the beginning before his eyes finally glinted at the end of the Voice Transmission. Then, he looked at Xiao An suspiciously as he said, “I don’t think you need my help in this matter. You can do it yourself. Aren’t you tempted by the rewards?”

Xiao An shook his head. “I am, but just like most people, it’s inconvenient for me to make a move. I’m afraid of offending him because of this matter. It’ll be fine if he dies prematurely. Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble once he grows stronger and seeks revenge from me. Although I have the support of the Scholar Woods Divine Manor, I’m not indispensable. However, you’re different, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng. You’re the direct descendant of an elder in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. In short, I can’t afford to offend him, but you can.”

Xian An sighed at the end of his words.

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng scoffed and said knowingly, “In my opinion, I don’t think you’re that afraid of him seeking revenge from you when he grows stronger. You’re just afraid of Vice Academy Master Yang, right?”

Xiao An smiled sheepishly and silently acquiesced to w.a.n.g Yun Sheng’s words.

w.a.n.g Yun Sheng asked Xiao An, “Do you know who posted the task on the Dark Net?” Then, he added, “Even if you don’t know for sure, tell me about your suspicions. I have my own suspicions as well, but I still need to confirm it.”

“I can’t say who posted the task, but I think I know it’s related to someone. I think our suspicions are the same…” Xiao An said as he looked at w.a.n.g Yun Sheng.

After a moment, the duo said in unison, “Yang Yu Chen!”

The duo knew Yang Yun Sheng did not post the task on the Dark Net, but they had a feeling it was related to Yang Yu Chen.

“It’s likely someone from the Legacy faction. The Myriad Laws Academy posts their tasks through a divine artifact. Only an advanced Supreme G.o.d can investigate this matter and find out who’s behind it.”

“How is it possible? Many people speculated that the divine artifact belongs to that person…”

The Dark Net was an open secret in the Myriad Laws Academy. Many people knew about its existence, but no one spoke about it. It was rumored that the Dark Net existed due to an a.s.sistive prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

One could access the Dark Net with a series of hand gestures. Then, one could post their tasks there along with a deposit for whoever accepted the task. After the task was completed, the remaining payment would be made. Those who reneged on the payment would have a bad outcome. Those who violated the rules would be severely punished, and in some serious cases, the punishment was death. Conversely, the smallest infringement would be punished with a small fee.

Xiao An said, “The Dark Net isn’t exclusive to Supreme G.o.ds. Even if that person from the Legacy faction is behind it, he must have done it through someone else.”

w.a.n.g Yu Sheng nodded. His eyes glinted as he said, “You’re right. You’re afraid to accept this task, but I’m not. I really want to see what he’s made of. How dare he refuse the invitation from my Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”

After saying that, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng executed a series of hand gestures. A moment later, the words ‘the Dark Net’ appeared in the air.

“Browse the tasks available,” w.a.n.g Yun Sheng said coldly.

A list of tasks appeared, scrolling down slowly.

After a short moment, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng said, “The third task.”

The third task was to test the strength of Duan Ling Tian from the Seven Mansions. The reward for the task was so lucrative that even someone like w.a.n.g Yun Sheng was tempted. Those who managed to defeat Duan Ling Tian would be rewarded even more.

The task also specified that only those below the realm of an Emperor of G.o.ds could accept the task. Clearly, the task was targeted at young prodigies like w.a.n.g Yun Sheng and Xiao An.

Previously, Xiao An had seen the task on the Dark Net so he came to look for w.a.n.g Yun Sheng. He knew w.a.n.g Yun Sheng did not have a habit of browsing the Dark Net.

“Accept the third task,” w.a.n.g Yun Sheng said indifferently.

…

At the same time, in a corner of the Myriad Laws Academy.

An intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed as he sent a message.

“Master, someone has accepted the task, but I don’t know who it is. In any case, we’ll find out sooner or later.”

…

Meanwhile, those people who paid close attention to the task also noticed that someone had accepted the task.

“Who is it?”
