Chapter 1476 - Sneaky?

Chapter 1476 Sneaky?

By now, Han Jijyun had realized his fears were nothing to worry about so in front of Li Lanfeng, he just laughed confidently. “Yes, I’m scared, but I was never afraid of you.”

Surprisingly, Li Lanfeng actually smiled and nodded. “I know. I’ve already said it before, the person who knows you best is me.”

“In your mind, there has always been an existence you are extremely terrified of. Despite him being your Boss and helping you through your entire journey, you are still afraid of him…” The Li Lanfeng created from his inner demons was like the real Li Lanfeng. He could see through everything and hit him where it hurts.

“Yeah, how could we not be afraid. The secrets hidden deep within our hearts that we don’t want anyone to know… There is always someone near us that could easily see through us.” Han Jijyun raised his head and looked at the bright sky. He didn’t know whether he regretted his decision or not.

The status Han Jijyun had in Lingtian wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

He came from a background of an elite family who specialized in intelligence gathering. He was taught from when he was very young that they had conflicting views with the military and government. The cooperation with these entities were only as a way of overseeing them and vice versa.

With a background in intelligence, they would be taught of every knowledge an intelligence officer needed. On the surface, they were like normal kids and entered the military academy to learn, but they would also be trained in multiple other areas outside of school. When they grow up, they would be sent to be the important officers of different armies or government departments based on their own abilities. They would be an existence that would oversee the army’s highest ranking officer or the government official they work for.

Yes, other than being a soldier, Han Jijyun also had a hidden identity. He was an officer from the national intelligence bureau sent to Lingtian to oversee Lingtian. His main objective was to oversee and search for any information regarding Ling Lan.

“Is that my own inner demons?” Han Jijyun smiled. Tears uncontrollably trickled down his face.

No one could reject their own backgrounds. From the moment he was born, his fate had already been decided. It was just he didn’t expect he would put forth so much emotion and feelings towards his comrades, friends and the Boss that he loved, feared and admired.

Unable to cut off these emotional ties and unable to refuse the pressure his family was giving him. This conflict of interest caused him to feel guilty of his actions, making him doubt whether what he said or did in the past was genuine. He couldn’t find a balance of the two in his heart. In the end, this conflict of interest grew into his inner demon.

“Jijyun, if you need anything, you can always come find me,” Suddenly, memories of Ling Lan surfaced in his mind. Ling Lan stared at him with a sharp look in his eyes. His words were slow, but clear.

“Jijyun, sometimes you think too much.” Ling Lan’s calm stare had a look of understanding, but mostly helplessness.

Han Jijyun remembered everything related to Ling Lan, and suddenly realized.

“Boss, why didn’t find me and make it clear?” Han Jijyun suddenly shouted out angrily. Was watching him struggle by himself funny?

“You hate him. Hate the fact that he watched coldly while you struggled and was in pain. He didn’t care about you. If you want to crush him beneath you, follow your heart and accept me.” The Li Lanfeng created from his inner demons was like a devil trying to tempt humans to do nefarious things.

“Yes, I hate him. I hate him so much.” Han Jijyun opened his eyes and a look of hate burned in his pupils. This look of hate actually made the inner demon feel somewhat afraid.

“Then, let go of your heart, let me become one with you to become a stronger version of yourself,” the devil in his heart continued to tempt him.

“Come!” Han Jijyun no longer resisted and let his inner demon move towards him to become one entity.

Right at that moment, the situation suddenly changed. Han Jijyun suddenly reached out with his hand and grabbed the head of his inner demon. Earth shattering energy suddenly shot through his hand.

“Ah!” The inner demon began to struggle and wanted to escape Han Jijyun’s grasp. It wanted to run from Han Jijyun who was attempting to erase it from existence.

“Why? Why? You already hate him so much. Why do you still want to kill me?”

The inner demon didn’t understand. Han Jijyun clearly hated Ling Lan to the core. Why didn’t he go and find Ling Lan to exact revenge but rather want to kill him, the source of his power?

From the moment the energy went through his body, the inner demon could feel Han Jijyun’s undying determination to kill him.

“Yes, I do hate, but not Boss Lan. The person I hate is myself. I hate that I’m weak. I hate that I was blinded. I hate that I am weak,” Han Jijyun said coldly. The tone he used didn’t hide any of the hateful feelings he had towards himself.

“It was clearly an easy matter, but was made complicated because I thought I was so smart. I really made it difficult for myself,” Han Jijyun had an odd look on his face. “I was really dumb and stupid to even let a disgusting thing like you appear in me. I really have reached the epitome of stupidity.

“Ah, you will regret it. You will regret it.” The inner demon wasn’t weak by any means. He was just caught off guard as he didn’t expect Han Jijyun would set such a trap. Additionally, with Han Jijyun’s iron will to end him, it didn’t leave him with any room to escape.

Every step the inner demon took was the wrong one. Once he lost the upper hand, he no longer had any chance of surviving.

Through all the curses being thrown towards him, the inner demon finally couldn’t withstand the pressure coming from his head and in the end, succumbing to the pressure and disappeared into smoke.

After finally dealing with his inner demon, Han Jijyun plopped down on his butt with an exhausted expression and for the first time in a while, experienced the fresh air around him. It was just as the inner demon had said. Cleansing him was not a simple task. After all, the inner demon was actually also part of Han Jijyun’s strength. Killing him was the same as erasing a part of his strength. As the inner demon disappeared, Han Jijyun’s titled domain stage immediately regressed to where he was now barely within the domain stage.

In the real world, Han Jijyun opened his eyes and saw Li Shiyu sitting beside him. He noticed that Li Shiyu couldn’t move and Lord Card was watching from the side. When he saw this sight, he knew that Li Shiyu must have also fallen into his trap.

“Hey, you came out quite quickly. Not bad.” Lord Card suddenly smiled at Han Jijyun. His wrist flicked and another card appeared in his hand.

While still being mindful of the terrifying card, Han Jijyun stared at him coldly. The next moment, he surprisingly just sat down and began to stabilize his domain.

“Hmm? You actually dare to train right now?” Lord Card was confused by the sight in front him. Han Jijyun was basically telling him that he wasn’t going to resist and would be handing his life to Lord Card.

“As one of the 13 Lords whose strength is at the level of an imperial stage domain expert, you really like to be sneaky, much like a puny thief,” Han Jijyun replied calmly. After saying that, he closed his eyes and focused on his meditation in order to make himself recover to his original strength as soon as possible.

“Heh, are you making fun of me now?” Lord Card’s eyes flickered and the thought of killing the two entered his mind. As someone who liked to play with other people’s minds, he didn’t like when others were doing the same thing in front of him.

“Heh, you think I won’t kill you?” Lord Card’s eyes were showing no emotion as a card flicked out of his hand and flew towards Han Jijyun. He never liked for his toys to feel superior over him. Despite the fact that he was being sneaky, it was only because he loved to see his victims in despair until they eventually die of guilt.

“Bang!” Suddenly, a silver gleam flew by and pierced the card that was about to take Han Jijyun’s life.

With a silver needle in the middle of it, the card was stuck into the ground roughly one meter away from Han Jijyun.

At the sight of the silver needle, Lord Card’s eyes narrowed as he looked towards the direction from where the silver needle had come from. He said coldly, “What are you doing?”

A voice echoed from afar, “As one of the 13 Lords, I’m not in agreement when it comes to you making a sneak attack on a defenceless enemy.”
