Chapter 76 - Stone Country Trembles (2/2)
Typically, he was rather harsh and unreasonable, but the trusted war generals of the kings were even more harsh and unreasonable!
Yu Meng went silly as he was brought into a majestic palace hall within a huge city. Above him, there were three large and splendid suns. Rumbling sounds could be heard, and large portions of symbols were being emitted, making it impossible for people to directly look at them.
He understood that this was a genuine king who controlled a land that ruled over the lives of over 100 million people. They were the most powerful people under the emperor, and were world-shakingly terrifying!
The three suns released a divine splendor, and strand after strand of symbols began to condense. Within the gathering of symbols, it was as if they were trying to refine this area of heaven and earth. The three kings sat upon their thrones, and it was impossible to see their figures clearly.
Only three pairs of eyes could be seen, and they were much brighter than the symbols creating the mist. One of the pairs looked like the sun’s destruction and the moon’s submergence. The other pair appeared as if it stars were taking form, and the last looked as if the primal chaos were diffusing. They were obviously three pairs of eyes, but they made the people feel as if the heavens themselves were opening.
“It has nothing to do with me. I feel that Shi Ziling might have done this.” Once Yu Meng entered, he immediately spoke these words. He accepted the orders from their clan’s elders and wanted to use any methods to wash this blunder away.
“Don’t speak without thinking, chop!” A king indifferently said. His pair of eyes shot of an area of incomparably terrifying symbols, and shook everyone in the lower level of the palace hall.
A war general walked forward, took out a sharp blade and immediately swept forward.
“Calm down my king!” Yu Meng shouted, but absolutely no one paid attention to him. The war general’s weapon flashed passed. With a pu sound, the sound of blood splashed out and one of his arms fell to the floor.
He let out a wretched scream. Never could he have thought that those kings above would be so tyrannical. Without fearing any consequences, they chopped off one of his arms as soon as he came up. What was the reason behind this?
“My king, I am a child of the Rain Clan, I…”
“This king doesn’t want to hear nonsense, chop again!” Another indifferent voice echoed down from the throne above.
With a pu sound, blood blossomed out, and Yu Meng’s other arm also fell to the floor. It was so painful that he began to wretchedly scream. His face became deathly pale as his head almost fell to the ground.
He never could have imagined that such a day would come. He was a direct descendant of the Rain Clan, so his position was not low. However, there were people who unexpectedly dared to treat him like this and didn’t even consider him a side dish.
He wanted to roar out of fury ‘you are a king, so you need to be more considerate as I am the intermediary between the Rain Clan’! However, on the verge of speaking, he swallowed his words again in fear of provoking even more pain.
Then, he quivered and trembled as he thought ‘this couldn’t have been directed against his Rain Clan right? Otherwise why would they dare to do such a thing.’ Thinking up to this point, a whiff of cold air rose from within his heart.
“Speak, you are forbidden from speaking any lies.” The words of the people above were ruthless and concise.
Yu Meng endured the pain by using some flickering symbols on his broken arms to staunch the bleeding. Then he began to ‘confess’ and recount everything. Of course, he would not admit his own mistakes and tried his best to dispel and push the source of this disaster away from him.
“I only want to hear facts, I don’t want to hear refutations!”
Above the palace hall, a king flicked his finger and suddenly, an area of silver light as vast as the seas surged forth violently. With the two pupu sounds, both of Yu Meng’s legs exploded and his entire body flew across the room.
“Ah…” The pain was unbearable, and he was on the verge of going insane. How could it end like this? This king truly did not care about face. No matter how big the crime was, he shouldn’t be treated like this. Their methods were too severe, and were simply too scary and frightening..
Yu Meng was discouraged. All of the kings had too much power. If they wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as turning their hands. They could simply stomp him to death with one foot, and no one would be able to stop them.
In the end, he could not bear it any longer and said recounted everything as they happened.
“Drag him out and behead him.” An emotionless voice echoed down from above.
“Why are you doing this?” Yu Meng was worried and threw caution out the window.
“Because I’m a king!” The person above said indifferently. Rays of light bursted into the heavens and submerged the entire magnificent group of buildings.
These words shook Yu Meng until his entire body weakened, paralyzing him on the spot; he was full of regret.
Two war general walked forward and dragged him outside the palace hall. It was as if they were dragging a dead dog, treating him as him he were absolutely nothing.
Yu Meng shouted out in dismay and said, “If you guys don’t escort me back safely and just carelessly kill and behead me like this, how would the people of the imperial capital react? You guys don’t have concrete evidence, so this is simply a total disregard for life!”
“We are investigating on behalf of our emperor’s commands, and he has completely trust in us. Who would dare to disobey?” An imposing voice echoed from within the palace hall.
At death’s door, Yu Meng suddenly realized and had a rough guess at who the person in the palace hall was. It should be the War King who was rumored to have admired the young genius, Shi Ziling.
He quivered and trembled, since no matter what he said, it was too late.
With a pu sound, a head flew upwards, and Yu Meng was beheaded immediately, passing away within the western border. Once news of this returned to the imperial capital, it evoked shock, as this was like whipping Rain Clan’s face.
Afterwards when people learned it was the War King, they were all at ease again. With his title, it was no longer a surprise. There weren’t many things he did not dare to do.
Within the huge city on the western border, the War King no longer made any moves after beheading everyone. A kings at his side opened his mouth and said, “This matter might perhaps be related to the Martial King Manor.”
“Oh, Rain Clan and Military King’s Manor are connected through marriage. There should be something here,” another king nodded.
“Not bad, keep investigating. No matter what, they must all be warned.” The War King declared.
Military King’s Manor produced Shi Yi, who had exceptional heavenly talents. He was like the rise of a blazing sun, and he shocked the vast earth. There were also geniuses among these king’s later generations, and they similarly had the qualifications to fight for the emperor position. They would never let go of any opportunities to obstruct each other.
The matter had been escalated so much, and the Rain Clan were truly unwilling to accept the results since everyone within the western border had been killed. Heads stacked up like mountains, and even an important disciple of the family couldn’t escape death. They escalated this issue all the way to the emperor.
Even the Martial King Manor was very passive as well, as they had been linked to this matter.
The imperial city trembled, and a great wave surged over this entire place. Finally, the emperor showed his face, reprimanded some relevant people, and killed even more people. Only then did this disturbance gradually calm down.
But all this had nothing to do with the little guy. He brought Qingfeng into the great wasteland since they had already parted ways with the Hai family.
“This is the Snow Leopard’s milk, it tastes the best. You try it, it’s so sweet and delicious.” The little guy’s face was dirty, and only his pair of big eyes were very bright and shiny. They entered the great wasteland once again, and since they could not avoid battling with vicious beasts, his body was stained with quite a bit of blood.
“I’m already seven years old. I don’t drink milk anymore.” Little Qingfeng felt embarrassed.
“Don’t worry about it, no one’s watching. It’s truly very delicious.” The little guy held a bamboo straw and drank a whole mouthful. His eyes were infatuated as they became crescent moon.
“Really?” Little Qingfeng blinked.
“Really!” The little guy carefully nodded.
On another mountain range, the father and son duo of the Hai Family were constantly paying close attention to external affairs. During these few days, their hearts surged up and down like the tide, and they had a tough time staying calm.
“That child is truly a talent. No, he’s a heaven-warping genius. He has unlimited potential in his path of cultivation.” Uncle Hai sighed.
“If we meet again one day, I believe his name will have already shaken the entire country, and his name will spread to all the land under the heavens.” Grandpa Hai also sighed.
“Aoooo…” At their side, a black tiger roared.
