Chapter 1481: The Devil in Zhang Taixuan"s Heart Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Tonight, many people were destined to be sleepless.
The study room of the Youzhou Provincial Governor"s Mansion, White Tiger Building…
It was a deep night. In white robe, Zhang Taixuan was writing characters fluently with a brush dipping ink alone while holding his breath.
As was pursued by many people, the bigger the event was, the calmer one would be. Zhang Taixuan made it.
Zhang Taixuan had dealt with so many political affairs in the daytime. In the evening, he met an elder of Gu Clan, East River Prefecture and some representatives of Youzhou Provincial Steel Chamber of Commerce. Not until 10 pm did Zhang Tai Xuan become free. He then came to the study alone. He knew what was going to happen tonight——many people would die tonight in Golden Light City and Jinwu City. What happened tonight would also shock the country as a whole. However, Zhang Taixuan was not intense because he had already made arrangements perfectly.
He had deduced each detail of the event tonight, including what decisions those relevant people would probably make in that atmosphere according to their temperaments, what if someone died and what if not. After reckoning about it many times, he finally launched this strike. As for Zhang Taixuan, this action tonight was destined to succeed; if it failed, it would be due to G.o.d"s will.
Sometimes, success depended on luck. In most cases, success relied on perseverance and patience.
Many people couldn"t believe that Zhang Taixuan had already prepared for this action for 16 years. However, it was true.
Eyes closed, Zhang Taixuan was brandis.h.i.+ng his brush on the snow-white rice paper with expensive Anhui ink, following his heart. Not until he stopped the last stroke did he open his eyes and look at the table in the study.
There was already a three-dimensional, magnificent drawing on the table——an ocean with surging billows; an island was in it. If Zhang people saw it, many of them could identify that it was Hidden Dragon Island and the waters nearby it.
Being contrast to the surging billows, heavy wind and low dark clouds, the scene beneath the sea in the west of Hidden Dragon Island was utterly different.
It was calm there. Additionally, there was a huge rock at the bottom of the sea where was deeper than 300 m. A line of magnificent characters was carved there——Zhang Taixuan arrived here at 17!
Right beside this line was another line which appeared as poor as ants" legs——Haha, Zhang Tie also arrived here at 16!
Actually, Zhang Taixuan knew Zhang Tie much earlier than that many Zhang elders could imagine.
One year, Zhang Taixuan was leaving for the Earth-elements Realm. He stayed in Hidden Dragon Island for a few days, during which period, he suddenly got an interest to visit the trace that he left at the bottom of the sea at a young age.
At the bottom of the sea where he got navy blue ores from, Zhang Taixuan saw the inscriptions that he left there along with Zhang Tie"s line.
It could be imagined how amazed he was at that moment.
As the beloved one in Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Taixuan was very clear how many resources had Huaiyuan Palace spent on him and how many hards.h.i.+ps had he experienced before he left such a trace at the bottom of the sea at 17. How could an unknown common teenager surpa.s.s him at 16?
Because of this new line, Zhang Taixuan started to pay heed to Zhang Tie. Besides Zhang Taixuan himself, n.o.body else across Huaiyuan Palace knew it.
Soon after Zhang Taixuan entered Earth-elements Realm, Huaiyuan Palace had started to evacuate from Waii Subcontinent. At this moment, Zhang Taixuan"s henchman in Huaiyuan Palace sent him a piece of news——A female disciple surnamed Ma got pregnant. Through interrogation, that pregnant female disciple admitted that her kid"s father was Zhang Tie. However, Zhang Tie didn"t know about her pregnancy yet.
After receiving that news, Zhang Taixuan had made his henchmen hide this affair. Meanwhile, the female disciple was under control. n.o.body else knew about it.
Based on Zhang Taixuan"s means and resources, it was too easy for him to completely control a common female disciple under LV 10 in Hidden Dragon Island and have her follow his will. He could completely turn that female disciple into his puppet step by step using a bit spiritual skill and some allure.
At that time, Zhang Taixuan just felt that this female disciple might be his card one day; however, he had not thought about how to use it. He had not imagined that he didn"t play this card in this way until 16 years later.
Zhang Taixuan got an exotic item in Earth-elements Realm. When he left the Earth-elements Realm and saw Zhang Tie for the first time, the teenager who left words at the bottom of the sea had already become a clan elder, a dragon.
Without that exotic item that he got from the Earth-elements Realm, Zhang Taixuan might not reach this step. However, that exotic item foreshadowed what happened today; especially watching Zhang Tie becoming more and more excellent, admirable and powerful, Zhang Taixuan"s jealousy and the information provided by that exotic item brought him increasingly greater wallop spiritually.
Zhang Tie"s performance at the bank of Weishui River and the expose of his trump card of divine dominator finally broke Zhang Taixuan"s mental defense line. As a result, Zhang Taixuan determined to rush into danger.
This time, G.o.d appeared to be standing on his side. Previously, Zhang Taixuan was worried that Zhang Tie had already recovered when he was told that Zhang Tie recovered his injuries using b.l.o.o.d.y sacrifice furnace and wavered his mind; however, according to the information exposed by Zhang Tie footsteps on the gra.s.sland when he jumped off the airboat in Golden Light City, Zhang Taixuan finally made his decision.
Zhang Taixuan knew it was not right. However, which hero had cared about right or wrong since ancient times. Each one standing on the peak of the human world was standing on numerous corpses and skeletons.
‘Those who killed their brothers could also become emperors and enjoy their good fame forever. By contrast, what I did is nothing serious at all!"
A few hours ago, Zhang Taixuan had received the news that the plan in Golden Light City had succeeded. As was imagined, Zhang Tie indeed became less vigilant about the three senior sister apprentices that he knew in Hidden Dragon Island; especially that woman who had a love affair with him. Therefore, after Zhang Tie frankly went there, he was naturally under the control of Zhang Taixuan.
These years, Zhang Taixuan had studied Zhang Tie carefully. He knew that Zhang Tie was most filial besides being sentimental. If Zhang Tie and his parents were under control, Zhang Tie would meet any request of Zhang Taixuan without any resistance.
At this moment, Zhang Taixuan received news from Jinwu City by remote-sensing finger ring as he frowned at once…
“Zhang Gui…” Zhang Taixuan read it lightly as he found he had no impression about this name at all. Therefore, he shook his head before looking at the awkward characters on that huge rock in his drawing, muttering, “I"ve not imagined that you could arrange an earth knight on the side of your parents. Amazingly, that earth knight would like to be the slave servant of the Zhang family. It seems that it"s G.o.d"s will. If you could have an earth knight be your slave servant, what am I as an earth knight? However, even if the plan in Jinwu City fails, it should still not difficult for me to get that item from you…”
In the blink of an eye, all the remote-sensing finger rings in his hand rocked, including those which were used to contact elders of Huaiyuan Palace, commander of Northeast Military Region and Xuanyuan Hill… Zhang Taixuan had even heard the flurried footsteps of Elder Muray and his hoa.r.s.e voice, “I"ve got an emergency. Hurry, lead me to clan head…”
Zhang Taixuan threw the last glance at the drawing which was still not dried yet on the table. Closely after that, he revealed a faint smile as he wove his hand, leaving nothing at all on the table.
When he walked out of his study, he had already looked gloomy…
“It"s too bad. Something happened to Elder Mushen…” Elder Muray said as his face had been covered with sweat when Zhang Taixuan saw him.
“I"ve got it just now. Commander of Northeast Military Region has already inquired me about the details. We will go to GoldenLight City by airboat right away!” Zhang Taixuan said with a bitter smile, “Hopefully, Elder Mushen could tide over this difficulty…”
“Do we need to notice other clan elders to go there together?”
“I doubt that Elder Mushen might be screwed by Heavens Reaching Church. I"ve just issued an order to have Youzhou Provincial Army enter a state of emergency. All the other clan elders are protecting different regions. Let"s stabilize the situation at first…”
“Fine! Let"s go…”
Without putting on his coat, Zhang Taixuan had boarded on the airboat with Elder Muray. Of course, he looked flurried in the eyes of outsiders.
…
The army of Golden Light City had already arrived at Wild Lake Building outside Golden Light City. They were putting out the bright forest fire outside Wild Lake Building with loud noises…
Before the big fire was put out, a Heavens-Penetrating Silver Shuttle had suspended above Wild Lake Building. Closely after that, Yan Feiqing showed her look.
She instantly flew into the big blazing fire.
Only after a few seconds, Yan Feiqing had flown out of the fire. Closely after that, she wove her arm, releasing her berserk battle qi towards the fire and isolating flame from the air. As a result, the flame across Wild Lake Building was put out in a split second.
“Honey…” Yan Feiqing roared with grief as she flew towards the lake in the far…
…
In the next morning, the news that Zhang Tie was a.s.sa.s.sinated outside Golden Light City had shocked the entire country…
