Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1523: Human Pillar (32)

What do they say, listening to thunder in the silence?

In a dim and decrepit place, the lady with burial clothes and blindfolded eyes makes an untimely expression through a mirror behind you. This scene is truly captivating.

However, Fu Qian did not think this was a secret gesture for private communication, as the sound of Lady Ji Ning blinking at that moment was truly deafening.

The perception that defies common sense swept over, causing total misalignment.

What else could it be but Lady Ji Ning’s grand sensory confusion?

Although the intensity was greater than the previous traps, even more continuous than just a wave, this unique sensation was rather easy to identify.

As for the sudden act, it certainly wasn’t to feign cooperation to lull oneself into complacency, only to finally find an opportunity for a surprise attack.

Mr. Li Sr. was right next to him. How would it be necessary to be so roundabout in dealing with a Demigod, especially with everyone in such a hurry?

Fu Qian’s steps didn’t hesitate for a second and continued downward.

At the same time, a dazzling brilliance descended from the sky, as if the moonlight shattered.

The ancient bricks overhead caused no obstruction, as if the moonlight flowed through a passage beyond the dimension of Transcendence.

Since the Sage’s power had been restored, how could the Insight full of academic aura not be present, along with the past learning result—Silent Contemplation.

Moreover, although under the sensory explosion, the function of his eyes was similar to that of Lady Ji Ning.

But as previously mentioned, giving up vision in dangerous situations truly was a practiced experience; its impact on accuracy is far less significant.

So now, witness the glory of the ancient moon.

Silently, the brilliance had already landed precisely on the just-blinked Ji Ning, splashing out a dreamy and fantastical scene.

...

Uh—

I must say, the name Silent Contemplation is quite fitting.

With the moonlight illuminating this decaying place, the scattering brilliance like fireflies was accompanied by a soft murmur amid the luxurious surroundings.

”Who exactly are you...”

A mere beam of moonlight would not cause much harm to a Demigod, but it was clear that Lady Ji Ning was indeed perplexed.

”What’s the matter?”

Her sudden halt and the overly dramatic light effects instantly shocked her teammates.

The one speaking was Aike, who was already in a tense state.

Even Mr. Li Sr., who was responsible for the rear, suddenly had a silver long sword in his hands.

Although the color was different, to Fu Qian, it seemed to be of the same nature as that golden long halberd.

The earlier dismantling of the lampposts was indeed a misleading tactic, and these short weapons were clearly ready to be summoned.

”Bloodline Clan, didn’t I mention it earlier?”

Amidst praise, Fu Qian, undeniably at the center of attention, slightly nodded at the watching Ji Ning and said naturally.

”Makes sense, you did mention it earlier... just like you are indeed a Demigod...”

Fu Qian’s demeanor seemed to slightly calm Lady Ji Ning’s emotions, though her gaze was still suggestive.

”Was it him just now?”

Before Fu Qian could continue his thoughts, Aike gleaned some information related to the recent commotion from their conversation.

And her incredulous tone indicated that this realization not only didn’t bring her clarity but rather made her more confused.

Previously, to maintain a delicate balance that allowed this potentially fragile team to carry on was clearly the optimal outcome for both sides, and now suddenly they’re acting out again?

This made no sense.

”Not him, it was me.”

Shaking his head, indicating she need not be excessively tense, Ji Ning finally let out a long sigh.

...

”Lord Anke, I sincerely apologize for the earlier offense.”

With previous experiences, Aike evidently still bore considerable trust towards Ji Ning.

And just as she truly heeded the counsel and slightly eased her combat stance, Ji Ning’s apologetic demeanor was very earnest.

”The reason I did so is simple; ever since entering this place, perceptions seemed unreliable.”

”And I didn’t want to make the same mistake as before, so I needed to confirm firsthand... it turns out you’re even more honest than imagined.”

Is that how it is?

Earlier, due to a perceptual error, she didn’t realize he was a Demigod.

And now, upon his revelation, she is still not prepared to fully trust her senses, to avoid being misled again, directly taking action to test it.

I must say, Lady Ji Ning’s mental upkeep is quite remarkable, containing still a touch of youthful vigor.

Not doubting the sincerity of Ji Ning’s apology, Fu Qian’s heart even admired her a bit.

The moment of the attack, this also seemed like the most plausible explanation he thought of, or else why would he respond with just one glimmer of the Ancestor’s glory?

The counterattack carried more than just visual effects, and for the first striker, Lady Ji Ning, it at least bore three implications.

Firstly, being able to withstand the sensory distortion launched with full force, taking initiative, certainly strongly certifies the Demigod Tier.

Secondly, the concept related to the moon embedded in that elegant, brilliant strike likewise is a recognized symbol of the Progenitor of the Blood Clan’s power.

Furthermore, after such a clear proof of the Vampire Demigod claim, this bore uncanny resemblance to her assault, similarly lacking lethality, at the end explaining one point.

It is that he knew she was testing, so he likewise withheld strength in his counterattack.

Of course, even so, Lady Ji Ning still chose to offer a sincere apology, which seems considerate.

”Indeed, it’s a power unlike the existing Bloodline Clans... Lord Anke is indeed an honest person, I also apologize for my previous doubt.”

At this very moment, even Mr. Li Sr., who had likewise calmed down beside, clearly figured out the cause and even showed his attitude.

See, one could even consult guest scholars from the academic circles regarding the ancient bloodline progenitor Annalise, the process was incredibly natural and seamless.

Kill four birds with one stone.

...

Compared to others, the level Mr. Li Sr. exhibited was indeed superior in some respects.

Even his scholarship was as well.

Upon establishing the Bloodline Clan persona and recovering the insight gained from the Original Sin Sage, Fu Qian thought this seemed like a good opportunity to consult erudite scholars on ancient mysteries.

Scholarship is endless, regardless of harsh environments.

And Lady Ji Ning’s cooperation undoubtedly provided an opportunity.

”Honesty is merely a personal choice; it’s too impolite to forbid others from doubting.”

Waving his hand, Fu Qian’s demeanor reached full intensity at that moment.

Even without asking what was different about the existing Bloodline Clans, he directly reminded them to attend to the proper affairs.

”Should we continue?”

The art of progression and retreat exists in one’s heart, and the art of communication has always been profound and extensive.
