I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

In the following days.

Xu Lingjun barely left Liu Zhiyuan's side.

Firstly, he was somewhat wary of Zhou Qianmo's gaze. After all, no matter how strong the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" was, his own realm was still too low. Facing a Profound Realm martial artist, he would basically find it hard to break his own defense.

But if it were a Guiyuan Realm martial artist.

Xu Lingjun felt it was unlikely he would be killed, but the chance of getting injured was still considerable.

Staying by Liu Zhiyuan's side, Liu Zhiyuan was his most natural protective barrier.

Moreover, he indeed had too many uncertainties that needed Liu Zhiyuan's guidance...

The role played by a Master who kept almost nothing from him was so significant that in just a few days, he gained several times more than what he had achieved in over half a month of pondering.

If it weren't for the upcoming conferral ceremony.

Xu Lingjun wished he could stay in the hotel with Liu Zhiyuan forever. Heaven knows he wasn't even this clingy to Sister Yaya in the past.

Although the way of clinging was different.

And during these few days.

The Divine Soldier Guard's search became increasingly thorough.

It seemed they were also under immense pressure. After all, in the grand Imperial Capital, the heart of Great Xia, someone had dared to fight openly, and managed to hide so well afterward that they still hadn't been caught.

If there wasn't some powerful figure behind this providing cover.

It would simply be impossible.

For this reason, His Majesty of the Great Xia Dynasty was infuriated, issuing a strict order to capture the culprit within ten days, and they could not let the mastermind behind them go either.

To dare to assassinate the Great Xia Prince in broad daylight was an outrageous act that could not be tolerated.

Even though the grand Imperial Capital was not yet on edge, the carpeted searches left less and less space for the enemy to hide.

It's foreseeable that even a Profound Realm martial artist's capture was merely a matter of time.

And at such a critical moment.

Near the Central City Martial Mansion, that elegant villa.

In these days, it wasn't that the Divine Soldier Guard hadn't come to search, but Wu Hongzhou was cautious, and with the many houses Marquis Xia Wu owned, he hid back and forth. With his cultivation, the likelihood of exposure was still low in the short term.

But on this day.

An uninvited guest quietly sneaked in.

"Living a good life, it seems."

As Roger stepped into the house.

The cozy living room changed in an instant.

He had this characteristic: wherever he went, the place would be filled with an aura of death and blood, making people involuntarily wonder how many people this person had killed.

"Who are you!"

Sun Qingrou, who was carefully stewing wolfberry bear whip tiger tail soup, rushed out of the kitchen with a soup ladle, angrily saying, "Breaking into houses at will, do you believe I'll call the police?"

"You can call the police, but you'd better think about how you'll explain to them why a fugitive is hiding in your room."

Roger stretched out his hand, casually throwing away a blood-stained bandage, saying, "This was found in your house, and there are many more of these... If the Divine Soldier Guard really comes, I won't escape, and neither will you."

"It's you!"

Inside the house.

Wu Hongzhou slowly walked out.

He gazed at Roger with a focused look in his eyes, without much fear.

The opponent's strength was superior... but the gap was negligible, and with the unique martial skills of the Cuowu Sect, if they truly fought, he had at least a forty percent chance of winning.

He simply didn't expect the opponent to seek him out.

Wu Hongzhou coldly said, "Why? Couldn't settle last time and want to come back for more setbacks?"

"No... I just want to collaborate with you."

Wu Hongzhou frowned, "Collaborate?"

Roger said, "Exactly. The reason why we had a misunderstanding that day was entirely because we fell into those two little brats' trap and made wrong judgments, leading to us mistakenly thinking each other's people were bodyguards of those two... strictly speaking, it's a misunderstanding between us."

Wu Hongzhou said, "That's true, those two youngsters were too cunning and ended up blinding me, the one always hunting the geese."

"In fact, our goals should be the same, right?"

Roger said, "I guess you already know that it was Xu Lingjun who killed Marquis Xia Wu, right?"

Wu Hongzhou was shocked, "How do you know this?"

He thought to himself, I deduced this from the snippets I overheard from Marquis Xia Wu's wife, could this guy also have ties with that disgraceful woman?

He looked suspiciously at Sun Qingrou.

Sun Qingrou immediately understood Wu Hongzhou's implication and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, this man is filthy, stinky, and ugly. How could I possibly be interested in him... Even if he were extraordinarily gifted, I couldn't... couldn't... uh... couldn't know about it, let alone follow him."

"Rest assured, I have my own channels, but in fact, I come here with another purpose."

Roger said, "You want to avenge Marquis Xia Wu, right? Your target is Xu Lingjun, and coincidentally, Xu Lingjun is also on my list. We can absolutely cooperate! You should know that now Xu Lingjun is constantly with Liu Zhiyuan, who is an Upper Realm Grandmaster, exceedingly powerful. Even if we both join forces, we still wouldn't be his match, but I have a reliable method to keep Liu Zhiyuan occupied. Then, you can effortlessly kill Xu Lingjun."

He sneered, "Xu Lingjun is just a cunning person, but in fact, if either of us were to confront him fairly, he would not stand a chance against us. A mere flick of a finger would be enough to kill him, wouldn't be much trouble at all, right?"

"What do you want to gain?"

Roger said, "It's no secret, Xu Lingjun killed my son as well."

"Your son is dead, my son is not!"

Wu Hongzhou coldly said, "I only wanted to deal with Xu Lingjun at the time, but now I've been seriously accused of attempting to assassinate the Prince, and the Sect has begun to hold me accountable. Do you know this is all your fault? And now you have the face to propose cooperation?"

"As long as we kill Xu Lingjun, we can completely plant some of Marquis Xia Wu's belongings on his body as a fake proof, proving that Xu Lingjun was the real murderer of Marquis Xia Wu, and that what happened in Han Yun City could just be regarded as a coincidence. You weren't targeting him, wouldn't that clear your suspicion entirely?"

Roger said, "But the premise is that we have to have Xu Lingjun's body."

"I understand now."

"So... you agree?"

"I need to think about it."

"You better hurry up, you should know, the Divine Soldier Guard's search is getting more and more thorough, and we can't escape now. Once they're desperate and start searching houses, we'll stand no chance, Profound Realm martial artists aren't weak, but against state machinery, they're no match!"

"Alright! I'll give you an answer soon."

Roger let out a few low laughs, turned around, and left.

Sun Qingrou watched his departing figure and asked Wu Hongzhou, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you made a mistake, and that taking action against Xu Lingjun should be the last resort?"

"Yes, but we've already offended him, and nothing can be done about it now."

Wu Hongzhou let out a long breath, thoughtfully saying, "It's just that this time, the plan can't keep up with the changes."
