Master of Untold Daos
chapter-490-30041322

Lu Qingxuan was patrolling the city when he saw a Celestial Immortal coming from the path to immortality. Uh, what’s going on? Is that Nr. 6 set on fighting?

The Celestial Immortal walked before the gates and shouted, “Passing on Sire Faceless’ order, asking the Blades to go sweep the rebels!”

Lu Qingxuan peered at him, You’re telling me Sire won?

But he was still careful, afraid of falling in Nr. 6’s ploy of ambushing this general.

Lu Qingxuan waved, “I know, return.”

On Chen Ming’s side, he reckoned he needn’t go in person to send orders. Lu Qingxuan and Duan Shou wouldn’t come either since a battle of Faceless was filled with overt and open schemes.

Chen Ming was rushing to return to the Three-headed Dragon Constellation.

He peeked at his mission, Eh! It reached 100%?

In a Faceless mission, I only need to kill the other?

Chen Ming was thinking he needed to lay waste to the remaining forces to finish it.

This is great. He spoke in his heart, “Turn in.”

“Ding! Mission completion rate: perfect. Mission evaluation: perfect. Reward: 1 billion spiritual knowledge, 0.1 million fame, and a stele. Pro tip: a reincarnated immortal was once an Immortal King. You should scour his treasury more carefully.”

I almost forgot to reappropriate his wealth!

What a blunder!

No biggie. I can hardly take it all by myself. Better wait for Lu Qingxuan first.

After half a month of work, thanks to Nr. 6’s token, Chen Ming had a smooth sailing passing through the void and arriving at Lu Qingxuan’s residence. He eyed the Earth Immortals standing guard, “Tell Lu Qingxuan to come see me!”

They didn’t dare neglect him, not since how fierce the battle was. Lu Qingxuan came to greet him and welcomed him inside.

He saw Bu Liuhen and Duan Shou in the lobby.

They bowed, “Greetings Sire Faceless!”

Chen Ming waved, “Dispense the courtesy.”

He took the seat of honor and placed Nr. 6’s mask on the table.

Duan Shou smiled, “Sire’s plan worked!”

Lu Qingxuan heard of Chen Ming’s dangerous ploy, “Is Nr. 6 dead?”

Chen Ming nodded, “Yes. Now I am thinking who to send to govern Nr. 6’s constellation.”

They understood a faction such as theirs needed another Faceless.

Chen Ming scanned the three, Bu Liuhen won’t do. He’s too weak.

Lu Qingxuan is found out on each assassination attempt. The hell would I make him a Faceless for? To see him die?

Lu Qingxuan was oblivious as he puffed up his chest, Pick me, pick me.

Chen Ming then turned to Duan Shou, He isn’t a valid choice either, but his strength is excellent among Gold Immortals. At least there won’t be anyone in his turf getting the drop on him.

He forwent his legacy disciples. They couldn’t leave home and he needed them for his march on the Desolate Constellation.

Chen Ming watched Lu Qingxuan with a serious look, his voice even more firm, “I wanted to send you, but I need an assassin. It’s better if you stay in the Three-headed Dragon Constellation!”

Lu Qingxuan didn’t feel dejected when he heard this, Faceless needs me. And said, “Sire, be at ease, I will raise the most powerful assassins!”

“Duan Shou, I will leave Nr. 6’s territory to you.”

Duan Shou fell on his knees, “Leave it to me, Sire! I will unite the entire constellation!”

Chen Ming took the mask on the table and placed it on Duan Shou’s face. Duan Shou rose and kneeled again, “Faceless Duan Shou greets Mountain Lord!”

Duan Shou’s words exposed Chen Ming. According to Crownless Assembly, they had the same status, but the truth was completely different and he could only call him as such.

Chen Ming nodded, “Go and settle Atlas Constellation as a cover for Yan Mountain.”

Duan Shou cupped his hands, “Subordinate understands!”

“Nr. 6’s treasury is below his hall. There’s a hardship cultivation stele there. Bring it to me.”

“Subordinate will send it shortly!”

“En, handle Atlas Constellation’s affairs and report to me.”

Duan Shou took off the mask and rushed to Atlas Constellation.

Chen Ming had made his preparations. By the time Duan Shou settled Atlas Constellation, he would send Lu Qingxuan and Yang Hun at the entrance to Jade Lake. As this place was now secure.

Yet the traffic of people was still monitored. Cultivators had no objections, not even an opinion on the matter as Yan Mountain sold pills much cheaper. They had no intention of leaving before reaching the Gold Immortal realm, they had no reason to.

An Earth Immortal wandering the Galaxy would find death at every corner, while a Celestial Immortal would live but a while longer. Only Gold Immortals could wonder the Galaxy’s Domains. They could tread the void.

Chen Ming continued, “Now that the war with Atlas Constellation is over, we need to handle the safety of the Three-headed Dragon Constellation. Bu Liuhen, give your Eight Dragon-ascending Steps to Yan Mountain. You are not to teach any Celestial Immortal without my permission.”

Bu Liuhen cupped his hands, “Faceless, no, Mountain Lord, be at ease. No one besides me and Mountain Lord will know of it!”

“All Celestial Immortals need credentials and constant monitoring of their cultivation. Any peak Celestial Immortal is to move to Yan Mountain and left in the charge of the Empyrean Manor.

“I will establish the Empyrean Manor soon and all Celestial Immortals will be under strict supervision!”
