Fairy Tail: I Am the God

"The Seven Killings Sect was established during a time of chaos. Now that the world is at peace, there is no longer any need for the Seven Killings Sect to exist."

Nie Gai spoke earnestly, explaining that he hoped Gao Jianli could let go of his inner turmoil and hatred. Living with hatred was too exhausting, and he didn't want Gao Jianli to fall into that situation.

However, Nie Gai also knew clearly that his words would not dispel Gao Jianli's desire for revenge, and might even backfire, making Gao Jianli think that he was trying to harm him, which would be bad. Thinking of this, Nie Gai's head started to ache. He rubbed his temples and sighed inwardly.

Chapter 1159: A parallel world with a similar background to Fairy Tail?

Now that the King of Qin has unified the world, peace and prosperity reign. It is in times of chaos that numerous sects and factions emerge, each eager to stir up trouble, constantly fighting and battling for power and wealth. The Seven Killings Sect is a sect born of such chaos.

Growing amidst chaos and strengthening in adversity, the Seven Killings Sect truly deserves praise. But now, it is the era of Qin's unification, and Qin has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the country; after all, the title of the first emperor of all time is well-deserved. Ying Zheng's ability to achieve unification amidst chaos demonstrates his exceptional talent, making it not necessarily a bad thing for him to submit to such a ruler.

This is no longer a chaotic and decadent era; it is a time of peace and prosperity. The things that flourished in chaotic times offer no benefit in a prosperous era. Even if a large heretical organization is beneficial, who can guarantee it is entirely free of disloyalty? Let alone an organization that completely betrays the will of the court.

However, Gai Nie's side didn't think of the King of Qin as a great person; they only knew him as a tyrannical ruler who burned books and buried scholars alive, causing immense hardship for the people. Therefore, the King of Qin couldn't be allowed to live. As for Gao Jianli's desire to rebuild the Seven Killings Sect, he neither approved nor agreed.

Now that Gai Nie had decided to assist Jing Ke in assassinating King Ying Zheng of Qin, and was to act as an inside agent in Xianyang, he would no longer have the mind to concern himself with Gao Jianli's desire to rebuild the Seven Kills Sect. He knew that the Seven Kills Sect did not belong in this era. Although the King of Qin was tyrannical, it was still a relatively peaceful and prosperous time, and the Seven Kills Sect was not suitable for reconstruction.

"Now that Ying Zheng has unified the world, although he is a tyrant, the world is still relatively peaceful. The Seven Killings Sect has no reason to exist. Jianli, I think you should forget about the Seven Killings Sect and find a place to live a good life." Gai Nie looked at Gao Jianli and advised him softly. Gao Jianli's obsession with the Seven Killings Sect was too deep, which was not good for him. Giving up the Seven Killings Sect and living a good life was what he wanted to see.

Hearing the advice, Gao Jianli frowned. He didn't want to speak frankly; why beat around the bush? Had Gai Nie forgotten what the Seven Kills Sect meant to the two of them? He said resentfully, "Living a life of ignominy?" He chuckled lightly, whether mocking himself or Gai Nie, it was unclear. "I don't know what the Seven Kills Sect means to you, Gai Nie, but in my heart, Gao Jianli, the Seven Kills Sect is everything to me!"

That soft laugh might have triggered Gai Nie, for he suddenly felt that his actions were somewhat inappropriate. He understood Gao Jianli's feelings; his master, Guiguzi, had passed away, and he himself was not grieving. But he had more important matters to attend to: infiltrating Xianyang to gather intelligence and making further preparations for the assassination of Ying Zheng.

The assassination attempt on the King of Qin was bound to be fraught with peril; it was a matter of life or death. Regardless of success or failure, whether Ying Zheng lived or died, none of them would have a good ending. Therefore, he hoped that Gao Jianli could live a good life and not waste any more energy on these matters, only to end up with a bad fate.

“The Seven Killings Sect is indeed important, and I know how much it holds in your heart. But now is not the time to rebuild the Seven Killings Sect. If something happens to it, it will definitely affect you. If something happens to you, how can I face Master Guiguzi?” Gai Nie continued, his voice filled with emotion.

Chapter 1160 Leon's Scheme, Preparing for Advancement in the Fairy Tail World

Arguing about this is ultimately pointless. Gao Jianli, seeing Gai Nie's reaction, had long understood his thoughts. From the moment he met him, he knew what Gai Nie was thinking. The reason he didn't say it outright was simply to give himself a chance, a chance to live. Since Gai Nie couldn't help him, he needed to live even more. He was the only one who could rebuild the Seven Killings Sect; he couldn't die.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I understand everything." Gao Jianli sighed helplessly, but then smiled. That smile carried a sorrowful undertone, an indescribable meaning. "No matter what, the Seven Kill Sect is everything to me. I will rebuild the Seven Kill Sect and restore its former glory!"

Gao Jianli looked at Gai Nie, his eyes gleaming with a captivating light, making it clear that his decisions were not easily changed. Gai Nie looked at Gao Jianli like this, yet didn't know what to say, and could only sigh and shake his head.

Gao Jianli didn't care. He turned to leave, saying, "I will definitely avenge the annihilation of the Seven Killings Sect, and I will kill Elder Bao as well. I will not let them have an easy time!"

After saying that, he turned and left quickly.

When Xue Nu learned that Gao Jianli planned to kill Elder Bao, she became even more worried. Elder Bao, now known as Lord Yanchun, was living a carefree and unrestrained life. With such an important identity, it was difficult for him to even see anyone, let alone kill him.

If Gao Jianli wanted to kill someone at Yan Chunjun's residence, he must have been in a desperate situation. With so many protective measures in place, it would be difficult for him to even get close, let alone assassinate someone.

The Snow Maiden certainly couldn't bear to see Gao Jianli's life threatened, so she would definitely do something for him. But the thought of Gao Jianli taking such a dangerous risk made her reluctant. However, she knew Gao Jianli's heart; if there was an opportunity to kill Elder Bao, he would never give it up easily.

"Have you thought it through?" Xue Nu knew the answer, but she still couldn't help asking again. No matter what the mission was or what it was about the Seven Killings Sect, Gao Jianli would never let it go. He wanted to avenge the Seven Killings Sect's brutal annihilation more than anyone else. Even after Gai Nie left and had given up, upon seeing him again and listening to others' advice, he still wouldn't change his mind.

Gao Jianli looked at Xue Nu. He knew she was worried about him, but he couldn't give up this opportunity. Opportunities don't come every time, so he couldn't afford to miss any. He nodded firmly and said, "I think you understand me, so there's no need to try to persuade me."

"I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm just worried about you," Xue Nu said, frowning as she looked at the man. She couldn't bear to see Gao Jianli in danger alone, so she was determined to do something to help him. Yan Chun Jun's residence was difficult to enter, so she could help Gao Jianli gain entry.

"I have a way to help you enter Lord Yanchun's residence. If you trust me, I'm willing to help you," Xue Nu said, giving him a reassuring look. She wanted to help Gao Jianli, but this was all she could do. She understood Gao Jianli's thoughts and couldn't bear to see him face danger alone, so she wanted to help him.

Seeing how diligently Xue Nu worked for him and considered all the possibilities for him, he became less conflicted about killing Yan Chun Jun. He understood Xue Nu's good intentions, and he knew he couldn't let her down. He was determined to kill Yan Chun Jun before returning.

Chapter 1161 Fairy Tail Guild in Another World

Xue Nu and Gao Jianli meticulously planned the whole affair to ensure everything went smoothly. Looking at the serious-looking Gao Jianli, Xue Nu's eyes were filled with worry. Xue Nu reminded him with concern, "After we enter Yan Manor, you must pay attention to your emotions and be careful in everything you do."

Gao Jianli understood Xue Nu's worries, nodded, and replied, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Don't fret." The two smiled at each other, and Xue Nu turned to look at the blooming flowers outside the window, sighing, "I hope this time will go smoothly."

While the two were plotting, Wei Zhuang ordered his subordinate Yi Fuzi, saying, "Go to Feixue Pavilion and keep an eye on Gao Jianli and Xue Nu's movements. Report back immediately if anything happens! I have a feeling that Gao Jianli and the others will definitely take some action." Yi Fuzi immediately acted upon hearing Wei Zhuang's order.

Dressed like a fortune teller, Yi Fuzi boldly set up his divination stall in front of Feixue Pavilion. Though blind, his hearing was exceptionally sharp. Yi Fuzi quietly and closely monitored Xue Nu and Gao Jianli. Listening to their plan, a cunning smile appeared on Yi Fuzi's face as he slowly said, "Wei Zhuang is truly a prophet."

Hearing Xue Nu say, "I hope this matter will go smoothly," Yi Fuzi raised his hand and touched his fake beard twice, thinking to himself: This time, I'll make sure you don't leave alive.

After planning everything, Xue Nu immediately sent someone to deliver Fei Xue Ge's invitation to Yan Mansion. As the figure slowly faded from her sight, Xue Nu's tension did not lessen in the slightest.

The sun was shining brightly. Gao Jianli softly called out to Xue Nu, saying, "Don't be nervous, you'll succeed. Look at the sunshine outside, so carefree and beautiful. Shall we go out and take a look?" Faced with Gao Jianli's invitation, Xue Nu suppressed her nervousness and forced a smile, saying, "Okay, let's go out and take a look."

As Xue Nu stepped outside, she noticed the fortune-telling stall set up by Master Yi in front of the gate. Master Yi, dressed as a Taoist priest in a long robe, loudly called out, "Fortune telling, fortune telling, predicting good and bad fortune." Seeing the fortune-telling stall that had suddenly appeared in front of Fei Xue Pavilion, Xue Nu walked forward in confusion.

Master Yi's ears twitched slightly as he sensed Xue Nu's approach. He hurriedly said, "Would you like a divination? My divination is very accurate, predicting good or bad fortune." Just as Xue Nu was about to speak, thinking about today's events, Gao Jianli stepped forward, signaling her to be careful.

Gao Jianli stared intently at Master Yi and asked, "How come I've never seen you before, sir, in front of Feixue Pavilion?" Master Yi stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "I'm a wanderer, and I'm new to this place. I wonder if it's permissible to set up my fortune-telling stall here? If not, I'll find another spot." With that, Master Yi began to slowly pack up his fortune-telling stall.

Xue Nu said apologetically, "There's nothing wrong with that, sir, please continue with your stall." After saying that, Xue Nu pulled Gao Jianli to leave, but Master Yi said, "I have a connection with you two today, so I will give you a divination. Things will be accomplished today." Xue Nu asked, "I wonder what you mean, sir?" Master Yi replied mysteriously, "It is a matter on your minds, and I cannot say more."

Gao Jianli gave Yi Fuzi a deep look, then turned back to Feixue Pavilion with Xue Nu. Xue Nu said something along the way.

Chapter 1162 Fairy Tail Hunting Event

"That expert just now said we will succeed." Gao Jianli didn't answer, but said, "Let's wait patiently for a reply."

Soon, the servant who delivered the message returned and reported, "Lord Yanchun has accepted the visiting card." Upon hearing this news, Xue Nu and Gao Jianli exchanged a knowing glance and nodded. Xue Nu then instructed, "Go and prepare what you need to bring."

Xue Nu and Gao Jianli went to the Yan residence together. They were stopped by the guards at the gate. Xue Nu calmly glanced at them and said, "Lord Yan Chun has already accepted the visiting card." The guards respectfully replied, "Miss Xue, the master has instructed that you should not be stopped, but the person next to you seems to be different from the previous servant."

Xue Nu sneered and asked, "What, you want to interfere with my people?" Hearing Xue Nu's angry tone, the guards hurriedly let them pass, bowing their heads and saying, "No, no, Miss Xue Nu, we were just conducting a routine inquiry about our offense. Please don't take it to heart." Xue Nu glanced at Gao Jianli and entered the Yan residence.

Xue Nu whispered, "You don't need to come with me to see Yan Chun Jun later. You can go do what you need to do." Looking at the tightly closed gate in the distance, Gao Jianli instructed, "Be careful." Hearing Gao Jianli's concerned tone, Xue Nu smiled brightly and said nothing more.

Upon reaching the gate, Xue Nu deliberately spoke loudly, "I can go in by myself. You wait outside and don't wander around." The two then parted ways, with Gao Jianli keeping an eye on the defenses of the entire mansion.

After some time, just as Gao Jianli was wondering what excuse to use to search around, a maid came out from inside the gate. Gao Jianli gently pulled the maid and asked, "I am Miss Xue Nu's servant. Is there a latrine nearby?" Upon hearing Gao Jianli's identity, the maid had no suspicions and said very softly, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb Lord Yan Chun. Come with me."

The maid led Gao Jianli away, pointing in a direction and saying, "It's right there. Don't wander off; I have other things to do." She then turned and left. Gao Jianli thanked her and began his own journey.

Gao Jianli knocked out a guard, dragged him aside, quickly changed into his clothes, and returned to the spot. The guard asked, "Where did you go?" Gao Jianli lowered his head and said, "To relieve myself."

Gao Jianli slowly approached him, then suddenly pressed a knife against the guard's neck, saying, "I'll ask you a few questions. Tell me the truth, and I'll let you go." The guard nodded in fright, saying fearfully, "Please ask, please ask, don't kill me, don't kill me." Gao Jianli asked in a low voice, "Have you heard of a man named Elder Bao?"

The guard swallowed hard, stammering, "Elder Bao, he... wasn't he captured by Wei Zhuang?" Gao Jianli's eyes sharpened, and he asked, "How do you know he was captured by Wei Zhuang?" Gao Jianli's grip on his blade tightened. The guard hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth! I overheard it a few days ago while on duty in front of Lord Yanchun's gate. I'm telling the truth! Please don't kill me!" The guard was so nervous he was almost incoherent.

Gao Jianli secretly pondered: So Elder Bao isn't at Yan Manor. It seems what this guard said is true.

Chapter 1163, Codenamed etd, Edolas in Action

Gao Jianli was still somewhat grateful to have been able to enter Yan Chunjun's residence through the Snow Maiden, especially since the Snow Maiden had come along on the adventure, which gave him a strange feeling.

However, Gao Jianli, who was about to avenge his great enemy, saw Yan Chunjun bound and gagged. And the leader of that group was none other than Wei Zhuang!

Gao Jianli stretched out an arm, stopping Xue Nu who was still trying to move forward. He looked at her and shook his head. Gao Jianli was still wondering why Wei Zhuang had killed Elder Bao. Could it be that he also wanted to avenge the Seven Killings Sect?

Just as Gao Jianli was wondering what was going on, Wei Zhuang's resentful voice came from the other side, saying, "Elder Bao, did you ever think this day would come?" Wei Zhuang held an exquisite dagger in his hand, pressed it against Elder Bao's face, and slowly moved it. Although Gao Jianli was quite far away, he could still see a satisfied smile on Wei Zhuang's face.

Elder Bao felt the icy touch of the dagger slowly moving across his face, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Wei Zhuang, who was so close. He hadn't expected Wei Zhuang to have become like this.

Wei Zhuang was still toying with Elder Bao. Although he noticed Gao Jianli and Xue Nu's intrusion, he didn't intend to deal with them later. He wanted to keep Elder Bao company and have some fun first.

Wei Zhuang's cold gaze fell upon the subdued Elder Bao. He tossed aside the dagger he had been playing with, grabbed Elder Bao's chin, and asked, "Elder Bao, have you been living peacefully these past few years?"

Elder Bao, now subdued, dared not utter a word, only glancing at Wei Zhuang with fear. Seeing Elder Bao like this, Wei Zhuang lost interest; why was this man so timid and cowardly now?

Seeing Wei Zhuang's expression of losing interest, Elder Bao mistakenly thought he might let him go, forgetting how he had treated Wei Zhuang before. Elder Bao mustered his courage, looked at Wei Zhuang, and said pitifully, "I haven't had a good life these past few years, and I feel very guilty. I've always felt ashamed of the sect leader."

Wei Zhuang, who was reminiscing about the past, heard Elder Bao's annoying voice. His sharp eyes quickly turned to Elder Bao's repulsive face. Startled by Wei Zhuang's intense gaze, Elder Bao reverted to his previous timid and cowardly demeanor.

However, Wei Zhuang became interested and wanted to see what Elder Bao could come up with, so he asked with amusement, "Why do you feel guilty?"

Taken aback by Wei Zhuang's question, Elder Bao realized Wei Zhuang was implying he would let him go. Unfortunately for Wei Zhuang, he completely misunderstood. How could the pain Elder Bao had inflicted on Wei Zhuang be so easily erased?

In this critical moment, Elder Bao's mind raced as he tried to think of an explanation. Elder Bao was used to doing this kind of thing, and he quickly came up with an explanation, saying with a wronged tone, "In recent years, I have rarely gone out. I have stayed in the manor to repent for my past sins."

Upon hearing the name of the Snow Maiden, she couldn't help but snort coldly. This Lord Yanchun was truly capable of fabricating lies. In the entire city of Luoyang, who didn't know his reputation for womanizing? He only stayed in his residence for the sake of his life.

Upon hearing this explanation, Wei Zhuang looked coldly at Elder Bao, snorted, and leaned close to Elder Bao's ear, saying in a cold voice, "Do you... take me for a fool?" Elder Bao's mind went blank for a second upon hearing this; he realized that this reaction was practically courting death.

At such a critical moment, he actually told such a low-level lie; he really wanted to survive.

Chapter 1164 Erza Knightworth! The Strongest

Elder Bao looked at Wei Zhuang with a pleading expression, but Wei Zhuang only glanced at him coldly before looking away. Thinking that out of sight, out of mind, Wei Zhuang looked elsewhere, and the sight of the scenery stirred up painful memories of the past.

Coming to his senses, Wei Zhuang turned around and walked towards Elder Bao, meeting his gaze. He stated the facts indifferently: "Back then, if it weren't for you using me, how could the Seven Kills Sect have been destroyed? How could the sect leader have been killed?" His tone rose gradually due to the fluctuations in Wei Zhuang's emotions, as if he wanted to deafen Elder Bao's eardrums.

Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, who were eavesdropping in the shadows, roughly guessed why Wei Zhuang also wanted to kill Elder Bao. Gao Jianli even felt a little guilty. It turned out that Wei Zhuang had been used; that despicable Elder Bao.

After being yelled at by Wei Zhuang, Elder Bao probably guessed that he would die here today. But he still held onto a sliver of hope that Wei Zhuang would still remember some past favors. But did Elder Bao have any past favors with Wei Zhuang? Oh, no! Yes! Otherwise, how could Wei Zhuang have been manipulated by Elder Bao back then?

Looking at Elder Bao's dimming eyes, Wei Zhuang saw no trace of remorse and no longer believed that Elder Bao would change his ways. Wei Zhuang grabbed Elder Bao's chin, forcing him to look at him, and asked, "Do you want to know how I knew you? So you can die knowing why."

After hearing Wei Zhuang's words, Elder Bao still harbored no hope. However, he genuinely wanted to know how these people knew about him. Gao Jianli's assassination attempt had given him a sense that things wouldn't be peaceful these days. He hadn't expected to encounter Wei Zhuang today; he had initially thought it would be Gao Jianli.

Elder Bao nodded to Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang stared into his eyes, trying to discern his thoughts. After a moment of silence, Wei Zhuang released the hand that had been restraining Elder Bao, turned around and walked in another direction, saying, "It was through cooperating with Zhao Gao that I was able to find you."

After speaking, Wei Zhuang turned his gaze to Elder Bao, who was nearly scared to death by Wei Zhuang's actions. Wei Zhuang felt that he had given Elder Bao enough time to live and prepared to get to the point.

Wei Zhuang picked up the dagger he had just thrown away, approached Elder Bao, and coaxed, "Out of old friendship, I'll give you a quick death. This dagger will end you with one strike." Wei Zhuang wanted to deal with Elder Bao first, and then go after Gao Jianli.

Originally, Wei Zhuang wanted Elder Bao to do it himself, but then he felt that Elder Bao was a coward, so he decided to do it for him.

Elder Bao trembled as he watched Wei Zhuang approach, trying to back away, but to no avail. Wei Zhuang swiftly and ruthlessly slashed the neck of Elder Bao with his dagger. Elder Bao stared in disbelief at Wei Zhuang; the lifeless body slumped backward.

Having resolved his deep-seated hatred for Elder Bao, Wei Zhuang called out to Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, "Come out!" Upon seeing this, Gao Jianli no longer concealed himself and walked out openly.
