Chapter 503 The Journey Ahead (2/2)
Shen Lian also felt sentimental. He was aware that once he reached Tian Xianjing, the biggest challenge he had to face was the long days which was not just one or two years, or even ten or hundred years, but thousands of years.
During these long years, as long as he did not enter Taiyi, he would feel more and more lonely as time passed by and this would be the biggest enemy for him from now on.
No matter how interesting this game in his life was, it was difficult to change the fact that there was no one who would accompany him until the end. Even his acquaintance like Zhao Xiaoyu had already forgotten about him in Jianghu in the end.
He finally understood more about Yanxu. Perhaps this person already realised the loneliness after being on this track, and thus he acted so rebelliously. Maybe it could be just a way for him to vent.
When the night was all dark and silent, it was difficult to avoid overthinking. Shen Lian had a lot of thoughts in mind. He thought of the missing Chen Jianmei. That arrogant man who had also clearly understood the loneliness of this path, where would he be at? Was he still alive? Would they still be the two men from the same sect that understood each other, or would they become opponents who battled for Dao?
Destiny was so unpredictable but this was also what made destiny interesting.
This time around, Emperor Xia had gathered a lot of people in this Palace's feast, including Wu Ding and Guan Longzi who were also invited. This time, due to the issue about Bai Dizi founding a country, how Tianyi was going to be punished had become the most popular topic in Diqiu recently.
Some people said he would be set free while the others said he would be killed. There was no third option about this. This was no doubt the affirmation of Xin Lie on that day. Unfortunately, this old man's pair of ears had been chopped off by Ming Luo.
Ming Luo's sword was made through blood-red Asura sea. Since he had chopped Xin Lie's ears off, it would naturally leave the unconventional power of the demonic blade on his wound. This had destroyed all the orifices points ad meridians near his ears. Even if Xin Lie could reincarnate for seven times in the future, he might not be able to reproduce his pair of ears anymore.
However, there was nobody who dared to talk about Xin Lie, including Xin's tribe who could only pretend to be dumb.
Or else, it would mean disrespecting Emperor Xia and there would be more people who would die, including Xin Lie.
Wu Ding followed Guan Longzi and they came to the Xia Palace. During that time, they had passed by Wu Men which was situated very closely to Xia Tai. Wu Ding almost could not resist himself to go to Xia Tai. He was eager to find out how his uncle, Tianyi was doing now.
Fortunately, he had been staying and learning with Guan Longzi for a period of time. There was a significant improvement in his cultivation of mind. Regardless of how much he had been missing his uncle, he could control his feelings.
Solely looking from this point, Wu Ding was definitely a sentimental person, which made him different from majority of the Qi cultivators.
Guan Longzi clearly felt Wu Ding's emotions but he did not comfort him. But he suddenly recalled Shen Lian saying that Wu Ding would have a big achievement in the future. Hopefully nothing would go wrong. If a sentimental person like this were to become Yin Shang's monarch, unless he had profound cultivation experience as a protection, it would be difficult for him to last long as a monarch.
A lot of people were aware that the recent debate should be solved in this Palace's feast. Nonetheless, the final decision right belonged to Emperor Xia. As for how Emperor Xia would make his choice, it was difficult for the outsiders to guess and they did not dare to make a guess as well.
However, everyone was hoping that the Emperor Xia could make his choice out of the two options.
Little did anyone know that there was an uninvited guest who came for the Palace's feast, and that was Shen Lian. Emperor Xia not only invited his courtiers, but he had also invited each country's diplomat in an attempt to use this opportunity to show Da Xia's wealth.
Shen Lian was Xi Liang Kingdom's diplomat and hence, he could make it into Xia Palace.
However, when he was alone mixing among the bunch of diplomats, he seemed a little too glaring. At least there was a person who was not only dissatisfied with him, he even walked to the front of Shen Lian.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
