I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 671 - 263: Secret Castle Young Master

Li Xin lay on the bed, pondering for a long time. He had always maintained a low profile, but this approach had a problem. It led opponents to underestimate his strength, and any random riff-raff dared to cause trouble, posing a security risk to those around him. So, he decided to change tactics—draw attention to himself and create a deterrence, focusing the enemy’s eyes on him. Of course, relying solely on Kathy wasn’t enough. The unexpected development of the Immortal becoming the Messenger was the real opportunity. By waving the banner of the Secret Castle, any force would have to think twice.The impact of reality was far more explosive than Li Xin anticipated.

The Secret Castle was the leader of the Five Great Sanctuaries, an ancient entity traceable to the era before the Fourth Epoch. They possessed immense power yet remained aloof from worldly matters, and they could bestow Divine Relics. The Immortals all possessed power surpassing that of Angels, and most importantly, the Immortals were eternal.

Such a place, who would dare offend?

Overnight, the news of the Prince of the Secret Castle appearing in Dragon Capital began to spread across the Dao Yuan Continent.

Gossip from the secret world often held more allure than mundane news, which inadvertently elevated the status of the Night Patrol.

People like Meng Po hadn’t slept at all. Although they were the Copper Owl, they belonged to Li Xin, so their status was different. They worked all night as many Secret Organizations seized the opportunity to gather personal information. Meng Po and her group were seasoned individuals and knew how to handle themselves. The Night Patrol only maintained the secret order; they did not govern these organizations and couldn’t do so. Maintaining good relations was the way to get things done.

Li Xin’s strong declaration marked the return of the Night Patrol, while Meng Po and her group worked silently. This approach maximized the weakening of the Hundred Martial Hall’s influence and created obstacles for any counterattacks.

Sister Yan received the news immediately and was shocked to the core. Defeating Yan Tianguang, clashing with the Peak Battle Angel Li Mo Qian without being at a disadvantage, forcing the Battle Angel to withdraw, and more explosive was that he could make the Five Great Sanctuaries bow down, with an Immortal personally stepping forward to pay the management fee.

Any one of these could shake Dragon Capital, and three happened in one night, all by Li Xin.

When did Dragon Capital produce such a formidable dragon from across the river?

Even though it was the Hundred Martial Hall that was affected, it was hard for her to feel dislike towards this young man.

Despite working all night, Meng Po remained energetic, looking at the astonished Sister Yan, "The Night Patrol wishes to continue employing you; what do you think?"

Luo Yan smiled wryly, "Lord Meng should know that I belong to the Hundred Martial Hall. This isn’t something I can decide. May I have a few days to think about it?"

"Of course. Our lord values you highly. It’s not about forcing you to leave the Hundred Martial Hall. The Hundred Martial Hall is also a part of Dragon Capital, and at its core, there’s no conflict," Meng Po said.

"I’m grateful for Lord Li’s appreciation. Lord Li has a broad mind and a grand vision." Luo Yan felt deeply conflicted. She once teased the other but found that despite the conflict, Li Xin remained consistent, keeping his word. She sincerely admired him.

Meng Po smiled, the wrinkles on her old face seemed reduced; she felt rejuvenated today. Their lord was unmatched in wisdom and courage.

The Black Market had changed hands, yet for many secret organizations in the Silver Market, whether it was the Night Patrol or the Hundred Martial Hall, it didn’t matter much. They were just branches rooted in Dragon Capital, and their organizations had their paths for survival, not conflicting with local organizations. Li Xin’s defeating Yan Tianguang and withstanding an Angel’s strike was nothing remarkable. Among the guests of organizations like the Adventurer Association, Gourmet Association, Hundred Treasures Pavilion, etc., there were no lack of Angels, even Great Angels. Some guests had later gained divinity as well. What mattered was Li Xin’s voice in the Gold Market.

They didn’t believe that the Night Patrol alone had such significant connections; those belonged to the Five Great Sanctuaries.

As for the authenticity of the Immortal, people in the Silver Market held no illusions or fantasies, as outsiders couldn’t enter the Gold Market. The Immortals were not benevolent; their scythe of death was not just for show. These undying creatures were adept at harvesting death.

Li Xin’s identity wasn’t important, but his status among the Immortals in the Gold Market was, determining their attitude towards the Night Patrol. This was the law of the secret world.

Duke looked at the completed report, gave the Messenger a pat, and the Messenger took off.

Good thing he was cautious. Initially, he was rather disdainful, believing that such a young and arrogant Li Xin was bound to suffer a great loss. But because of Li Xin’s high reputation in Hedan—ranking among the top ten young people in Dao Yuan’s Adventurer Association’s list—he held back. Despite not knowing why Li Xin was on that list as the reason required higher access, he trusted the ranking. The Adventurer Association’s intelligence was top-notch on Dao Yuan Continent, so he remained neutral during this change.

Fortunately, he did so. Besides, he discovered what Li Xin gave to the Immortals was a Gold Coin.

In such a situation, why give the Immortals a Gold Coin? He had a bold guess. Although unconfirmed, he still described the situation as evidence for future validation.

However, throughout the interaction, his performance was just barely satisfactory. He failed to establish a good relationship with the other party before their identity was revealed, choosing instead to flaunt the Adventurer Association’s capabilities. Essentially, he regarded the other party as a subordinate. He wondered whether this would affect his appraisal in the Adventurer Association.

This was a challenge he had to face.

Gourmet Association.

Lan Yue quietly watched the lively scene outside the window. The Gourmet Association had long been prepared since the elder had already stated to fully cooperate with the Night Patrol, and the newly-appointed elder, Lord Du Kase, was soon arriving in Dragon Capital. Although Lan Yue felt that offending the Hundred Martial Hall was unwise and doubted Li Xin’s ability to defeat them, orders were orders, and she followed them. She initially felt the elder’s instructions were blind to the situation.

Now, upon reflection, she had behaved very normally in interactions with Li Xin, fortunately standing up at a crucial moment, which should be a plus.

But... who exactly was he, to command the Immortals?

She was a veteran in the Black Market, and so was her family. They had never heard of such an unbelievable story.

No, Duke should know something. Last time he was here, his attitude was strange. Don’t think the Adventurer Association’s president is gentle. On the contrary, these people held the continent’s prime intelligence, connecting nearly all Secret Organizations, including mercenaries, pirates, and assassins. Deep down, they looked down on everyone, yet they practiced restraint when dealing with Li Xin.

Lan Yue rubbed her forehead, sensing her performance in front of such a hidden master was only passable. How could she make up for it? If the elder arrived and found her lacking, there might be trouble. It’s said the new elder is decisive in killing and proficient in the lost art of Dark Cuisine. She didn’t want to be...

Thinking about this, Lan Yue shivered. She needed to take action.
