The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 28: Re-arrangement and win over all parties

Midnight,

In a training attic in Bailong City,
After Lu Chen received the White Dragon Spirit Pearl, he sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly thinking about the flaws in his plan.

As for the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, it is sealed by the Black Dragon Supreme. Once it is obtained, it will be sensed by it. Now is not the time for that.

"Although this plan is a bit simple, its confidentiality is unquestionable. Apart from Dean Taicang and me, no one else knows about it."

"Even the five Tianxi elders were temporarily summoned by Dean Taicang and I after we discussed it and waited until the plan began to begin, just to prevent the plan from being leaked."

"Logically speaking, the Black Dragon Supreme should not know this. What went wrong?"

Lu Chen frowned. He knew that his plan was a bit crude, but it was unexpected and kept very secret, just to catch the Black Dragon Supreme off guard.

Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered by the Black Dragon, resulting in the death of himself and Taicang and his men.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen's eyes flashed, and suddenly an idea was born in his mind. He muttered, "Unless, that fellow Black Dragon has been harboring evil intentions for a long time, and has colluded with the Wuliang Patriarch and the two major chambers of commerce, intending to destroy the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

"He encountered an ambush by me and Dean Taicang, it was just a coincidence. If he really knew what Dean Taicang and I were planning, how could he sit idly by and watch the Dragon Demon Palace's Supreme being killed?"

"The loss of a supreme-level deputy palace master is a devastating loss for a force like the Dragon Demon Palace..."

Lu Chen stood up and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. While walking in the pavilion, he deduced the next layout in his mind.

"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with the plan. The problem lies in the deployment of combat forces."

"I must find a force strong enough to compete with the Dragon Demon Palace, so that I can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"One ninth-grade supreme being, one fifth-grade supreme being, two third-grade supreme beings, and five first-grade supreme beings."

"I'm afraid even if all the supreme masters of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy were to come together, they wouldn't be able to produce such a lineup. We can only seek external assistance."

Lu Chen sighed. It was no wonder that he miscalculated. It was just that in this world, strength was still respected. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks there were, they could not compare to the reality of a realm that was one level higher.

After this incident, he must quickly forge the Supreme Dharma Body and have his own strength and confidence.

Afterwards, Lu Chen took out the communication jade token, sent a message to Taicang, and then disappeared on the spot.

……

Soon after,

Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce's Bailong City branch,

In a quiet courtyard,
Bai Xuan, the head of the branch chamber of commerce, was lying in the courtyard, quietly enjoying the service of the beauty beside him and admiring the full moon in the sky.

Suddenly, the surrounding space fluctuated, and a figure in green appeared in front of him.

"who?"

Before Bai Xuan could resist, a terrifying pressure descended upon him, instantly pinning him down and making him unable to move. Even opening his mouth was a luxury.

The figure in green clothes waved his sleeves, and the beauties serving around him fainted silently one after another.

At this time, the figure in green shirt slowly turned around, dissipated the pressure on his body, looked at Bai Xuan, and said with a smile: "President Bai, how are you?"

When Bai Xuan saw who was coming, he was startled and the melon in his hand fell to the ground. His face instantly became panic-stricken and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

He burst into tears and cried, "Senior, please spare my life. I have old people above me and young children below me. I don't want to die!"

"I'm so wronged, Senior. I didn't even know whether the previous auction item was real or not. The Chamber of Commerce told me to say this in order to raise the price. I hope Senior will understand!"

"You mean, your Chamber of Commerce doesn't know whether the White Dragon Jade Pillar is real or not?"

Lu Chen shook his head, his face showing a mixed expression of both laughter and tears.

He had originally thought that the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce knew the truth, but simply thought that this item was too expensive to handle and that they couldn't afford to offend the Dragon Demon Palace, so they put it up for auction. He hadn't expected the truth to be so simple...

"Get up. I'm not here to investigate this matter. I've confirmed that the item is genuine. I'm only here to seek cooperation with the president of your Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce."

"Do you have any way to contact your president?"

Lu Chen helped Bai Xuan up and asked kindly.

"Yes, yes, I will contact our president right away. Please wait a moment, senior..."

Bai Xuan nodded quickly and tactfully didn't ask any further questions. When he heard what Lu Chen wanted, he immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

This is a wonderful person. ...

the other side,
In a pavilion of the Beicang Spiritual Courtyard.

After receiving the message from Lu Chen.

Taicang pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Is it really so troublesome?"

"Looks like I'll have to trouble Lord Beiming again!"

After saying that, Taicang straightened his clothes, took a step forward, and disappeared into the pavilion in the blink of an eye.

……

A few days later,
The southern direction of Beicang Lingyuan.

A misty mountain sits here, and on the top of the mountain stands an elegant courtyard. The mist makes this place quite quiet.

Outside the courtyard,
Lu Chen stood at the gate, took out the jade token that Dean Taicang had prepared for him, and said respectfully, "I am Lu Chen, the junior student. I have important matters to discuss with you by the order of the Dean. Please see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rainbow light came from the depths of the courtyard and directly wrapped up the jade token in Lu Chen's hand. After a few breaths, it retreated.

A cold voice came from the courtyard, and at the same time, the tightly closed gate slowly opened.

"Please come in!"

Seeing the gate wide open, Lu Chen took a step, walked through the gate, and then walked in.

Behind the courtyard was a winding gravel path. Lu Chen walked along the path and soon reached the end of it.

A small bamboo building appeared in front of him. In front of the building, a beautiful girl in a white dress was kneeling quietly behind the tea table.

The girl was extremely young, with skin as white as snow, curved eyebrows, and quiet eyes, but she exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance.

Seeing this, Lu Chen hurriedly bowed and said, "Lu Chen, the commander of the Jiuyou Palace in the Daluo Heaven Realm, greets Elder Lingxi."

"What do you want from me? I said I won't get involved in any disputes at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

"I'm not from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. I just owed Dean Taicang a favor, so I agreed to repair some spiritual formations for the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. I can leave at any time if I want, so you don't need to use his name to pressure me."

Lingxi glanced at Lu Chen with her beautiful eyes and said lightly.

Lu Chen smiled, knowing that this Miss Lingxi was cold by nature. In the original novel, if Muchen had not been Qing Yanjing's son, it would have been difficult for him to win her favor.

However, there was only one high-level spiritual formation master with such good character in the entire Beicang Spiritual Academy, so he had no choice but to ask her for help.

"What if I say that Mr. Lu knows Qing Yanjing's whereabouts?"

"Would Elder Lingxi be willing to lend a hand?"

Lu Chen bowed again and said with a smile.

"What did you say?"

Lingxi's expression changed drastically, she stared at Lu Chen intently, and spoke with a trembling body.

"The ancient Buddhist clan, Qing Yanjing."

Lu Chen's face was serious, and he slowly uttered a few words.

Lingxi's delicate body trembled, her brain felt a buzzing, and a feeling of dizziness spread in her mind, and scattered memories of the past flashed in her mind one by one.

After a while,

Lingxi sighed, looked at Lu Chen with a complicated look, and said, "I promised to help you, but after this matter, you must tell me everything about Aunt Jing."

"That's natural."

Lu Chen nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

In this way, coupled with the help of this high-level spiritual formation master with good character, it can be said that there is no room for error.

……

　According to the timeline of the original novel, Lingxi's memory was still sealed at this time, and she could only recall a little bit of her memory of being adopted by Qing Yanjing.
