Chapter 815: Tracing The Karmic LinesTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales“You"re flattering me,” replied King Zi Guang.
Zhong Yue then had Mu Qingxuan and the others get out from his Yuan Shen secret realms. King Zi Guang had pulled a killing move this time; first, he sent the divine mirror that recorded the scene where Royal Prince Wen Dao killed Yang Changsheng to Zhongyang Clan, then, he sent another divine mirror that recorded every single detail to where Consort Tian disguised as Luli Clan"s mountain G.o.d and a.s.sa.s.sinated Royal Prince Dao to Heavenly River Navy Fleet.
With that, the Zhongyang Clan would turn against Heavenly Monarch while the Heavenly Monarch would wage war with the Luli Clan!
While Luli Clan was completely innocent in this case, they could not say anything to exonerate themselves from this mess. First of all, with Consort Tian Si disappearing and running away, they couldn"t catch her to prove their innocence and the Luli Clan"s imperial charm could not explain anything.
Thus, the conflict between them will never be solved after the Heavenly Monarch"s son, Royal Prince Wen Dao was killed!
After King Zi Guang"s plan was executed, Heavenly Monarch"s Diming Clan, Zhongyang Clan and Luli Clan were all dragged into a chaotic whirlpool. As such, the war was no longer just between Xian Tian Palace and Heavenly Monarch"s family but also between these few clans, a development that gave Xian Tian Palace a little more time to regroup.
King Zi Guang was cunning; he most probably antic.i.p.ated that Mu Qingxuan would become the target of many factions in order to disrupt the currently considerably peaceful situation by killing Mu Qingxuan.
King Zi Guang also noticed that Mu Qingxuan was the key and while Zhong Yue and Consort Tian Si wanted to rain chaos onto the world through Mu Qingxuan"s death, King Zi Guang ignited the flames of war by taking the opportunity when the other powers a.s.sa.s.sinated Mu Qingxuan!
That was where King Zi Guang was smarter than the others and now, everything went precisely as he had planned!
Now, it was impossible for the world to stay peaceful now!
At the bottom, terrifying killing intent was howled as the Creator leader from Zhongyang Clan gazed into the divine mirror in his hands while he kept a gloomy expression and the vice commander from Heavenly River Navy Fleet turned around and stared at Lu Binger and Lu w.a.n.g with an eerie gaze.
The atmosphere was tensed that air was almost turned stagnated.
As things progressed to this stage, vengeance must be served but if they took revenge, a lot of things and people would be affected, thus, this was no longer something that both leaders could deal with among themselves.
If they decided they take things into their own hands, they were most likely dragging the power they represented into this whirlpool of chaos.
Hence, both leaders were hesitating right now.
Upon seeing this, King Zi Guang smiled and sat on a seat at the top and took out a zither. After adjusting it, he said loudly, “It seems like a decision will not be made in such a short time. Let me play a song for you, gentleman.”
With that, he started strumming the strings and the melody felt as if it descended from the outer Nine Heavens. The melody was light and relaxing, like a breeze wind, it swept away the darkness and pressure in everyone, enlightening their heavy mood and calmed them down.
As the melody was played, the raging killing intent slowly calmed down and even the two Creator level leaders felt that the anger and frustration in them were being vented out.
And that was where suddenly, the melody intensified and became extremely rough.
Zheng zheng zheng—
A total of nine metal clanking like notes rang out, tearing eardrums and hearts apart. These notes were extremely blood boiling!
As the melody became even more rough and tense, everyone"s blood roared happily. Under the melody"s effects, something in them snapped and they were on the verge of exploding!
King Zi Guang"s fingers moved swiftly, amplifying the melody"s pace and tone. Vaguely, an image of armies battling in war appeared in their minds; soldiers striking down foes mercilessly, cavalry stampeding across the field and G.o.ds and demons charging towards each other. This was not a war for profit but a war to honor their families, tribes, clans, races, to repay their debts to their people and to revenge their people!
Kill!
Killing intent gushed out from the zither and the melody surged with killing intent, causing people to lose their minds, throwing everything aside as desperation for battle took over their minds and they were all fueled with the eagerness to go on a war!
“Kill!!!”
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from a Zhongyang Clan"s giant as raised his hands, slammed onto the wardrum along with the zither"s melody, everyone"s" blood boiled even more!
Dong dong dong—
A domino effect was triggered right away Zhongyang Clan"s giants beat the drums in a way that could cause one"s heart to tremble!
The G.o.ds from the Zhongyang Clan let out an angry roar and while they stood onto war carriages pulled by battle dragons, they charged right towards Heavenly River Navy Fleet.
Meanwhile, the people of Heavenly River Navy Fleet were also experiencing the same thing. They turned around and charged towards Luli Clan, resulting in a hollow defense on their back and countless heads fell onto the ground when Zhongyang Clan"s war chariots charged into their back!
The vice commander from Heavenly River Navy Fleet immediately commanded the army to turn around and clashed with Zhongyang Clan"s giants. The heaven shook and the ground trembled as clubs, swords, spears, and other weapons swung around.
Warships flew across the skies quickly and war chariots charged around the ground swiftly, clashing with each other and in no time, the river was dyed red with blood and flesh.
Upon seeing this, King Zi Guang kept his zither away but no one noticed the disappearance of the zither melody as what done was done and there was no turning back; the imperial flag of Heavenly River Navy Fleet was set up, the imperial shield of Zhongyang Clan was activated and each time the two items collided with each other, the impact and shockwaves left nothing but corpses behind them.
The war had erupted and there was nothing could be done to stop it.
“My part here is done now.”
King Zi Guang laughed and said, “Be it Zhongyang Clan or Diming Clan, they will not let the army fight to every last one of them but they will definitely lose 70 or 80 percent of the army. This conflict today will never end and once Diming Clan notices that it was the Luli Clan that a.s.sa.s.sinated Royal Prince Wen Dao, out of self-defense, the Luli Clan will come to us and the Zhongyang Clan to form an alliance to resist Diming Clan. Mister Yi, how is this little plan of mine?”
“More than impressive.” replied Zhong Yue with no expression on his face.
King Zi Guang laughed and then said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we should return to Xian Tian Palace now.”
Mu Qingxuan hesitated for a second before she nodded; she came out this time in order to acc.u.mulate her experience so that she could challenge and defeat Tian Xuanzi and have him to reject the marriage. Now, after noticing the gap between her strength and Tian Xuanzi"s and how dangerous the outside was, she decided to return to Xian Tian Palace first and slowly planned on how to foil this marriage.
King Zi Guang immediately activated a luxurious ship where everyone boarded except for Zhong Yue. He frowned upon this but before he said anything, Mu Qingxuan reached her head out and asked in surprise, “Junior Martial Uncle Yi, why aren"t you getting on board?”
Zhong Yue shook his head at this question and he replied calmly, “I will not be going back with all of you, you go ahead.”
Mu Qingxuan was surprised and the others" expressions changed as well, “Mister, the Imperial Star is very dangerous now. Let us return to Xian Tian Palace first and we"ll figure out something later!”
With a smile, Zhong Yue waved at them and he gradually disappeared from their sight.
King Zi Guang who watched coldly by the side frowned even more and he sneered, “Petty.”
Dong Ah immediately reb.u.t.ted, “Why are you saying this, teacher? If it weren"t for Mister Yi, we would all be dead already. It was him that risked his life to protect us all.”
Under King Zi Guang"s control, the ship sailed further and further away from the battlefield and he replied, “As a reincarnated innate G.o.d, he is definitely unhappy after I"ve beaten him in terms of intelligence and talent. After I set him up and almost killed him, he hates me even more, causing him to refuse to return with me. He hates me and blames me for what happened, isn"t this petty? Well, just ignore him.”
Xi He had a scare and asked, “Teacher, you"re trying to kill him?”
King Zi Guang knew that he had misspoken and he explained, “Not trying to kill him, I"m just testing his loyalty to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, do you think I will kill him with no valid reason?”
Everyone half trusted what he said and half suspected him because King Zi Guang was very suspicious; when Zhong Yue first asked him to show himself, he did not show up and when he finally showed up, he acted so slow and his intention to let Zhong Yue die fighting on the field was obvious.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue slowly walked away and he frowned.
He was not petty as King Zi Guang claimed but he was making a move; after almost being killed by King Zi Guang"s dirty trick, as an innate G.o.d, he had to show a certain degree of unhappiness even though he felt nothing.
Besides, this was his first time here so he of course, needed to travel around here and see for himself how the Imperial Star was amazing.
King Zi Guang… I"ve underestimated him still. As much as I dislike him, I had to admit that he is a brilliant one. No wonder Imperial Emperor Xian Tian relied on him so much. Given that intelligence of his, I would have to kill him first before I take Imperial Emperor Xian Tian out. However, it is hard to kill him but it will be very easy Yan Sovereign, Jiang Yiqi helped me but their friendship will not allow him to help me in killing King Zi Guang.
Zhong Yue felt very tired all of a sudden as he felt an endless pressure coming King Zi Guang"s guile; this man was way too scary. With just a simple move, he played the Diming Clan, Zhongyang Clan, Luli Clan in the palms of his hands while Zhong Yue and Consort Tian Si were merely p.a.w.ns in his games.
With King Zi Guang aiding Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, it will forever be impossible to kill Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!
Yan Sovereign is unwilling to help me in killing King Zi Guang so all I have left is kill him through wisdom, intelligence, and calculations. But….
His calculation capability has reached the peak now and he often felt that there was an end to his intelligence, hence, to surpa.s.s King Zi Guang in these fields was a difficult task for Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue continued walking and within his Yuan Shen Dao Yi Secret Realms, billions of Karmic Lines interwove around each other as they continued the calculations and now, they were calculating the flow within Zi Wei Galaxy.
After this fight, Zi Wei Imperial Star was bound to plunge into chaos as Diming Clan declared war with Zhongyang Clan and Luli Clan, which were definitely be suppressed. With that, these two clans were definitely going to seek help from Xian Tian Palace while Xian Tian Palace would be able to invade and stand its ground in the Zi Wei Imperial Star through Zhongyang Clan and Luli Clan.
This was the situation where the Imperial Star is progressing towards but there were still unpredictable changes that might occur. Each and every Karmic Lines within Zhong Yue"s Yuan Shen secret realms were all plausible changes as the other imperial clans will not sit on the fence and they were bound to partake in this mess.
Zhong Yue studied the changes within his Karmic Lines and after some time, happiness flickered in his eyes as he managed to get a hold on the world"s" progression from his Karmic Lines.
Consort Tian Si! You have accidentally left some traces behind!
Zhong Yue laughed happily and after turning around, he flew towards a direction like a meteor.
Meanwhile, Consort Tian Si fled the scene quickly and after dodging King Zi Guang"s attack, she thought with a rapid heartbeat, This Zi Guang is really powerful and it"s hard to deal with him. However, my job here is done as the Imperial Star has been shrouded by madness.
…
She landed onto a sacred mountain and after a moment, one after another meteor flew towards her and landed onto an old divine temple where Consort Tian Si now sat in.
“Consort!”
One after another human G.o.ds bowed at Consort Tian Si and an old man said, “Zhongyang Clan"s army is now heading towards the Luli Clan. The person leading the army is Imperial Emperor Yang Weichi.”
Another young G.o.d said, “Heavenly River Navy Fleet"s admiral paid a visit to Luli Clan and is now being captivated by Luli Clan. The ones who is guarding him now is Lu Qifeng, an elder from Luli Clan.”
“Haoying Clan had sent out scouts for first-hand information.”
“Getian Clan is the same.”
While the many G.o.ds reported back to Consort Tian Si about the news they obtained, Consort Tian Si raised her hands, making everyone shut their mouths quickly and Consort Tian Si laughed and said, “Which senior martial brother is out there?”
A laughter was heard and Zhong Yue was seen walking in from the outside while he said, “Consort Tian Si, it really is hard to find you.”
Killing intent sparkled in the human G.o.ds" eyes and just as they were about to attack, Consort Tian Si stopped them and giggled, “Mister Yi, to be able to find me, you are indeed very impressive. Let"s see what he has to say and it"s never late to kill him as long as we here since….”
“Since there is no escape.” giggled the lady.
