Chapter 117 (2/2)
Yan Qing muttered to herself, brooding.
Wu Xinjie knew that she need not say any more. Yan Qing seemed apathetic and heartless when, in fact, her heart was as meticulous as needles. Otherwise, she would not pose a riddle challenge to arrange a Heavenly Star's Master Recruitment.
”Let's quickly leave, strong enemies are approaching.” Wu Xinjie called out. ”In the event you are willing to become sisters with all of us and wait upon Master, then please, come with us. If you do not wish so, we will not say anything more. As long as you are not an enemy someday, Yan Qing, when we meet, we can still enjoy wine and song. Come for a refined mind of a 'willow pond locked in smoke.'”
What the Knowledge Star said seemed sincere and plain when actually, she secretly used ”enjoy wine and song” as well as the ”Absolute For All Eternity” to lock in Yan Qing, not worried that she would not be moved.
Yan Qing was taciturn. Propping her body up, she walked towards a corner.
”Little Yi…” Li Shishi's appearance was unsightly pale.
”This servant is very regretful for this affair. This servant must trouble you to use several silvers to console the common people that suffered this calamity…” Pausing, Yan Qing continued to say… ”From now on, please do not use any further the name of Li Shishi…”
Li Shishi inarticulately nodded. Because she deliberately arranged everything, she was not opposed. Seeing a rare peculiarity appear on that cold and detached face of Little Yi's, she subconsciously asked: ”Little Yi, where are you going?”
Yan Qing turned her head to look at the backs of Wu Xinjie and the rest lending their arms to carefully support Su Xing. That worry that hung on the Panther Head Lin Yingmei was reflected in her eyes. Not only did the Majestic Star who never signed a contract actually sign a contract, she was even concerned about her contractor. All of this made Yan Qing feel touched.
”Little Yi has already found her Master…”
She lightly answered.
—
A vortex roamed in the sky above Stone Tablet City, the clouds turning and rolling. A nondescript and dust free girl stretched forward her real body. Those eyes clean to the point of lacking the slightest amount of filth turned, then she hid into the clouds, escaping towards another place.
Soon after, an even more powerful figure descended.
—
Emperor Liang found the Fourth Prince Zhao Cheng huddled in a corner of a park. Seeing the battered and exhausted appearance of his own son, this monarch of the Great Liang Dynasty's golden age did not say much at all.
After Zhao Cheng awakened from his fear, he then saw an imposing back on the balcony, wearing a magnificent dragon brocade, adorned with a tasseled golden dragon crown. Although it was only his back, a kind of powerful pressure forced him to sweat profusely.
He was precisely the current head of the royal family, Emperor Liang!
”Imperial Father!” Zhao Cheng's voice shook.
”You have made Imperial Father very disappointed…” Emperor Liang held both hands behind his back, his voice calm. ”Originally, you chose the Ghouls' Secret Arts. We3 then knew what you were planning. We were under the impression that you ought to have known you were unable to manage that Ghost Cavalry King. What a pity, ah, what a pity…”
”This child and subject4 should die.” Zhao Cheng was ashamed and uneasy. ”If it was not for Lin Chong's Master, This child and subject and Yan Qing would already…”
”A dispute is a weakling's conduct.” Emperor Liang softly said.
Zhao Cheng immediately closed up his mouth.
”Defeat is precisely defeat!” Four words that were light yet resounding and powerful.
”This child and subject has received instruction.”
”En. Cutting off your arm shall act as your price. Always remember him. Are you aware of how much trouble the release of supernatural beings can give rise to? However, that is not at all the worst matter. Imperial Father was already a monster in those sects.”
”A general achieves renown over the dead bodies of ten thousand soldiers is a natural law!” Zhao Cheng's pupils spun as he promptly blurted out.
”A general achieves renown over the dead bodies of ten thousand soldiers! Well said. You have not yet made Us completely disappointed.” Emperor Liang laughed heartily, pleased. Standing on the hall, he tilted his face as he gazed into the distance, overlooking the boundless earth underfoot. He did not know just how many bones of the dead he buried.
Just at this time, a star in the sky flickered with crimson light.
Zhao Cheng saw this scene, and his expression was even more unsightly.
”That legend at last has begun…”
Emperor Liang's voice was faintly discernible.
—
Three Clear Fields.5 A flying sword hung in the air, and on the sword was a youth of faintly discernible immortal wind. The immortal's light on his body protected him, sixteen Quiet and Secluded Immortals' Swords6 formed a powerful Sword Array nearby. The youth calmly directly shot this Crimson Star.
—
Lifeless Hall's Six Paths Summit. A black haired man holding a black steel épée stopped his sword dance as he raised his head.
—
In front of a not well-known discarded palace, the Immortal Hero Princess Gong Caiwei sat on the halls and slightly looked up. The Resourceful Strategist Zhu Wu slightly lifted her eyes.
—
Zhao Hanyan and the Steadfast Star Dong Junqing also continuously gazed at that newly born Crimson Star.
At this very moment.
All living things under heaven each lifted their heads to look up.
The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon left the Divining Star Platform perfectly contented, a purple marked jade pendant already in his hand. The Crimson Star in the sky was dazzling, and he burst into loud laughter.
”Has the Birth Outline finally begun?!!”
