The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 19: Jin City Master of All Things

"The mercenaries in Switzerland last time were hired by them. This time, they sent out two samurai in total. According to the information, one of them will strike at you tonight. I’ve already arranged for personnel; President Hua and I will leave here first."

Lin Yanan conveyed the news she had learned to Hua Qingfei as soon as possible, urging her to leave here first.

"No need, they’ve already been here."

Hua Qingfei said calmly.

"What? They’ve already been here? President Hua, are you okay?"

Lin Yanan’s face turned ashen with fear.

"The samurai who came here died!"

"I didn’t kill them; someone else did."

Hua Qingfei added.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Yanan asked in disbelief, her mouth slightly open.

Hua Qingfei explained the events to Lin Yanan.

Inside the Mountain and River Wonders.

Ye Qingtian was soaking in the bathtub.

The King of Atlantis is a taboo in the Western Dark World, feared by all major factions.

Unexpectedly, this Japanese Samurai recognized him.

Subsequently, Ye Qingtian received a WeChat message from Qin Yunlei, inviting him over as a guest tomorrow.

Ye Qingtian shook his head helplessly but had to go out of respect for Qin Yunlei.

At this point, Ye Qingtian’s phone received a coded message: "In Jin City, Yellow Temple Street, there is a master known by the nickname: Master of All Things."

He is said to be knowledgeable in astronomy, geography, expert in appraisals, feng shui, and maybe knows the whereabouts of the token.

"Alright, I’ll take the token to find this Master of All Things tomorrow."

The next day.

Ye Qingtian went to Yellow Temple Street and quickly found where "Master of All Things" was.

It was a very large pavilion, the largest in Yellow Temple Street.

"Hey, stop there! Don’t rush inside without knowing where you’re going!"

A security guard stopped Ye Qingtian at the entrance.

"I’m looking for Wu Liande!"

"Who is Wu Liande?"

The guards were all taken aback, looking bewildered.

"It’s said that Master of All Things is called Wu Liande..."

"How bold, dare to call Master of All Things by his name!"

A few guards stared intently at Ye Qingtian.

"Give this to him! He will come out to see me!"

Ye Qingtian handed an envelope to the guards.

"Get lost! Master of All Things doesn’t know you!"

A guard scolded him.

But another guard beside him took the envelope and sneered: "Hold on, don’t kick him out yet. I don’t believe Master of All Things would come down to see you because of this thing?"

"Indeed, if he doesn’t come down, we’ll beat this kid until he’s unable to fend for himself!"

The other guards echoed.

Inside the most luxurious room of the pavilion, the walls were lined with valuable calligraphy and paintings, and the shelves were filled with various ancient books.

The room only had two people.

One was a middle-aged man in a robe, with a long beard, but he had a cigar in his mouth; he was none other than the Master of All Things, Wu Liande.

Opposite him was another person, dressed in a business suit, his hair slicked back neatly.

He looked at Master of All Things with great respect: "Master, what magical effect does this treasure have?"

Master of All Things played with a delicate bone necklace in his hands, a bit puzzled on his face.

"Master, there’s a young man downstairs looking for you. He says as soon as you see this, you’ll go down to greet him!"

Very soon, the guards brought the envelope to Master of All Things’ office.

"I would go down to greet him? Nonsense!"

Master of All Things casually took the envelope and instinctively opened it.

"Thunk!"

Seeing the contents of the letter, Master of All Things’ face changed drastically, with beads of sweat pouring out.

His entire being seemed electrified, and the cigar fell from his mouth onto the ground.

His dark history!

All of his dark history was written there, including the evil deeds he committed and his subsequent concealment of identity in Jin City, etc.

Who is it?

Who knows everything about him?

The person opposite, He Kaiwen, was also immensely shocked witnessing this scene.

Downstairs from the pavilion.

"Master of All Things coming down to greet you? No way!"

"Right, if Master of All Things really comes down to greet you, I’ll bark like a dog!"

The guards looked at Ye Qingtian with teasing faces.

"Clunk clunk clunk..."

Suddenly, everyone heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Where is he?"

Accompanied by the voice, Master of All Things burst out.

All the guards were dumbfounded, instantly frozen on the spot.

"Please, sir, come inside!"

Master of All Things invited Ye Qingtian into the pavilion.

"Woof woof..."

The guards watched them leave, letting out dog-like sounds from their mouths.

"Sorry for not greeting you from afar, Mr. Liande failed to do so. Please forgive me."

In the office, Master of All Things almost knelt down.

After all, the person before him held the dark history that could ruin him if disclosed.

He Kaiwen was completely stunned...

Is there anyone in Jin City that the Master of All Things fears?

With the reputation and connections of Master of All Things, even the Patriarch of the four major families would have to show respect.

Who is this young man that makes Master of All Things fear him so much?

Ye Qingtian sat in the boss’s chair and said blandly: "Don’t worry, I only came to ask for help."

"Ah? What kind of help, sir? I will do my utmost!"

Ye Qingtian ignored him; his gaze fell on the bone necklace on the table, his expression changed slightly.

"Whose is this?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

"It’s mine!"

He Kaiwen replied, looking curiously at Ye Qingtian.

"Over the days you’ve had it, have you felt revitalized, full of energy?"

"Yes!"

He Kaiwen was stunned.

"But have you been having nightmares these past few days?"

"Ah? Yes!"

He Kaiwen looked incredibly surprised.

"In your dreams, you either find yourself in a cemetery, by a river, or in a dilapidated temple."

Ye Qingtian looked into his eyes and said blandly.

"Yes! Correct! All the dream scenarios have been right these three nights, and I’ve been awoken by fright!"

He Kaiwen was so surprised he nearly jumped up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Master of All Things trembled, looking at Ye Qingtian in disbelief.

Just by looking at the necklace, he could tell all this?

This is too incredible, isn’t it?

"Sir, how did you know? Is there something wrong with this necklace?"

He Kaiwen asked in astonishment.

Ye Qingtian played with the necklace in his hands: "Someone wants to kill you!"

"Are you saying the person who sent this necklace, sir?"

He Kaiwen’s face twitched fiercely.

"That I do not know. However, this bone necklace is made through evil techniques, filled with dark and sinister energy, which is why the locations in your dreams are often cold and bleak. Although you appear vibrant during the day, the bone necklace absorbs your Yang Qi at night to nourish itself. After seven days, you will certainly die."

When Ye Qingtian revealed this consequence, He Kaiwen was so shocked he nearly collapsed, feeling a chilling sensation throughout.

Only seeing Ye Qingtian casually pinch the bone necklace, which suddenly emitted a sorrowful sound, as if a vengeful ghost was struggling, then a mass of black energy sprang forth from the necklace.

"This..."

Upon witnessing this scene, He Kaiwen and Master of All Things were tremendously shocked.

He Kaiwen was no ordinary person, having dealt with martial artists significantly, he immediately realized what was happening.
