Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

"Old Zhang, you've been hiding things pretty deep, huh? You've actually met this heretic sect leader?"

Ji Nian's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I was afraid you'd react like this. That's why I kept it quiet."

Zhang Shuzhou looked a bit helpless, then turned to Yang Ling:

"Li Fengxian looks very ordinary, but I suspect he has disguise techniques, because I've also seen his wanted poster in reality. He clearly looks like a middle-aged man, not young at all.

But when I saw him, he didn't look a day over thirty."

Ji Nian was slightly startled. He instinctively tried to get up, but forgot that all his limbs and bones were broken. The pain made him grunt, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He twisted his head to look at Zhang Shuzhou, his gaze sharp:

"Are you saying Li Fengxian doesn't look over thirty? That's impossible. In our files, he's fifty-two years old!"

Zhang Shuzhou replied.

Ji Nian's eyes grew dazed.

But Yang Ling suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice:

"Have any of you ever seen a player over thirty-five?"

"..."

The broken temple fell into dead silence.

Ji Nian murmured, "No, I haven't. None of our average ages exceed thirty-five.

I've been here for several months, and I've never seen a player over thirty-five or under eighteen."

Zhang Shuzhou and the others thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. A look of shock appeared in their eyes.

"If Li Fengxian is fifty-two, how did he enter the game?"

Yang Ling asked.

Ji Nian couldn't answer that question and said instinctively:

"Is Zhang Shuzhou sure that was Li Fengxian? Could someone be impersonating him?"

"This guy's got some nerve! But this move is pretty damn clever too. Doing it this way, wouldn't those fools who believe in the cult just follow him around?"

A player let out a sigh of amazement.

Yang Ling said, "If he's impersonating Li Fengxian's identity in reality, is that a possibility?"

"You mean... the Sect Leader of the Immortal God Sect was never Li Fengxian, but rather a young man under thirty-five who stole Li Fengxian's identity?"

Ji Nian looked at Yang Ling, and a chill suddenly crept up his spine:

"Then our entire direction has been wrong. No wonder we've never been able to catch him."

"Li Fengxian is a university professor in reality, right?"

"That's right."

"Then he should have quite a few doctoral students under him."

"Maybe we can look into that angle."

"Doctoral students... Li Fengxian did have one student whose work was exceptionally brilliant, but around that time, it was like he vanished off the face of the earth..."

Ji Nian looked thoughtful.

Yang Ling's eyes lit up: "What's his name?"

"Luo Kai! I've seen his file. I remember it very clearly. His name is Luo Kai!"

Ji Nian's tone was extremely firm.

"..."

"It's actually him?"

A wave of shock surged through Yang Ling's heart.

He remembered that when the Divine Realm Level Ranking first came out, Luo Kai had already ranked in the top three.

Later, he even surpassed Hui Wu to become first.

And then, he disappeared from the rankings.

"At the time, I thought he was dead..."

"Could it be that he has a way to switch between two identities? Did he find some kind of bug in the game?"

Yang Ling had already basically ruled out the possibility that Li Fengxian himself was in the Divine Realm.

The players he'd encountered so far were all under thirty-five.

The chance of Li Fengxian himself entering the game was less than one percent.

If Luo Kai was really the one operating under Li Fengxian's identity...

Then it was highly possible this guy had two identities in the Divine Realm. Was that how the game judged him?

"Shi Xin, you're the same as me on the outside, aren't you?"

Ji Nian suddenly spoke.

He could smell a similar aura coming from Yang Ling.

"I'm not an officer. I'm just a professional gold-farming player."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

A flicker of disappointment passed through Ji Nian's heart, but he didn't say anything.

For the next few days, Yang Ling stayed by the broken temple.

Occasionally, he would go out to buy some food.

After the Heavenly Wolf Guard's prison break, there were noticeably more Heavenly Wolf Guards patrolling the streets, though they kept quiet about the incident.

Jiu Xingkong was still up on the high platform, reciting sutras and praying for blessings for King Subei's son, Zhao Chongxu.

"I can finally move around now."

Zhang Shuzhou and the others stretched their limbs in the broken temple. The places where their bones had broken still throbbed with pain, but at least they had recovered normal mobility.

"Brother Shi, I won't say much else. A great favor doesn't need many words. If you ever need anything, just private chat us directly."

Zhang Shuzhou looked at Yang Ling. "If you need Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts Techniques, or Foundation Consolidation Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills, I'll find a way to get them for you."

"Let's not talk about that for now. What do we do next?"

Yang Ling pondered. "The city gates are very strict now. The Heavenly Wolf Guard is watching. There's no way we're getting out of the city."

"What else can we do?"

Everyone wore bitter smiles.

Ji Nian thought for a moment. "The dungeon only lasts a month. A few days have already passed. Let's just find a place to lie low and tough it out for the remaining time."

"That's the only option."

Zhang Shuzhou and the others nodded.

Failing the dungeon wasn't scary. The important thing was to keep their lives.

"Well then, everyone, be careful. My identity hasn't been exposed yet, so I'll head out of the city first."

Yang Ling clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Everyone returned the salute. After spending some time in the Divine Realm, they were gradually getting used to it.

Their words and mannerisms were all slowly changing.

Watching Yang Ling stride away.

Everyone suddenly felt that there was something of a chivalrous warrior about him.

...

"Senior Brother Yang, Jiu Xingkong has completed his seven-day sutra chanting and prayer blessing. He's about to leave the city now."

Zhang Hongyu stared at Yang Ling, trying to read something from his expression.

The other junior brothers and sisters could also vaguely sense that their lead senior brother seemed reluctant to go after Jiu Xingkong.

"What's the rush? I have my own plans."

Yang Ling said casually.

"Senior Brother Yang, you're our Qingyun Mountain's lead disciple, an Upper Sixth-Rank expert. You shouldn't be afraid to fight."

Zhang Hongyu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

When these words came out, the junior brothers and sisters present were all slightly stunned.

When did Senior Brother Zhang Hongyu get so brave?

And when did he get so bold as to directly urge their lead senior brother like that?

"Alright, stop pushing me. I have a plan."

Yang Ling waved his hand dismissively.

Zhang Hongyu: "Senior Brother Yang, what plan? We're all supposed to participate in this assassination mission. We ought to know your arrangements."

"What would you participate for? To hold me back? I'll handle this assassination alone."

Yang Ling smiled and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhang Hongyu and the others looked at each other in confusion.

"Does Senior Brother Yang mean we don't have to participate in this mission?"

A disciple asked with a shocked expression, though a trace of relief flashed deep in his eyes.

"It looks like Senior Brother Yang intends to single-handedly behead Jiu Xingkong."

Zhang Hongyu's expression was grave:

"We shouldn't disrupt Senior Brother Yang's plan. We'll stay here and wait for his good news.

I believe that as an Upper Sixth-Rank expert, our senior brother will definitely be able to bring back Jiu Xingkong's head!"

Everyone fell silent. No one refuted Zhang Hongyu.

Since their lead senior brother was willing to take on all the responsibility and danger, they had no reason to refuse.
