683 Permeating (1/2)
”Now you've fully offended your baby girl. Don't you fear that she will resent you for a lifetime?”
At this moment, only Zhou Bao, Wang She, and the Child-endowing Buddha were sitting in the pavilion. Seeing how Zhou Bao had chosen to handle this matter, Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha were both dazed.
”I said that people would rather suffer acute pain for a short while than mild pain for a long time. My daughter will not hate me for a whole lifetime, perhaps a few hundred years at most. Even if she does, so what? Time flies, several hundred years will pass in an instant. Anyway, this is better than letting her live a whole life with a jerk!” Zhou Bao said, waving his hands casually. After all, his little girl was just 13 years old, what could she possibly know about marriage? Zhou Bao was determined to break this couple up.
”If that boy refuses to leave your daughter, what will you do?”
”That would be better, I really hope he will behave in that way!” Zhou Bao said, raising his eyebrows. ”If that happens, I'll draw his soul out in front of everyone; make every bit of his life since he was born visualized; and dig out his true purpose for approaching my daughter. Hee hee, that would be quite pleasant!”
The Child-endowing Buddha and Wang She gazed at each other but failed to say anything. They both made up their mind in secret that they would never let their acquaintances pursue the King's daughter. It simply equated to courting death—whenever things went wrong, Zhou Bao would be blustering about drawing someone's soul out.
”Well, you two, the show is over. You can tell me your real agenda now. You've traveled from such a distant place, it can't be that you're just here for the show?”
”Not just for that. We're here to express our awe and respect to you!”
”Express awe and respect to me?” Zhou Bao was nonplussed. ”What do you mean?”
”Your assumption was right. There is something fishy about the Ancient Divine Palace. It turns out that not acting rashly was the correct choice, so we're here to express our gratitude to you!”
”Well, it's nothing at all!”
”That is the first issue. And there is a second one.”
”Judging by your behavior, you must be embarrassed about the second issue.”
”Guys from other macro worlds are already contacting the influences in our Heaven Realm World!” Wang She said with a flustered expression. ”Some small and medium well-known families have ganged up with them for extra benefits. They are building up their power in secret. Undercurrents of trouble are surging!”
”That's not strange. If I were them, I would adopt the same method to make my influence permeate the Heaven Realm World. After all, though the strength of the Heaven Realm World is extremely powerful, combatants at the level of the Human Immortal are unable to leave their own macro world at will. Thus, the strongest combatants they can send out are merely Lords of Heaven. Indeed, Lords of Heaven are hard to deal with, but they must be joking if they expect to take over the Heaven Realm World solely with Lords of Heaven. Adopting this slow permeating method to foster their own influences in the Heaven Realm is undoubtedly the best measure.”
”This can't be kept from the public. Well, do the great sects having any plans regarding this matter?”
”Right. No matter which school or well-known family they are helping or contacting, what they are doing is something that will shake the foundation of the Heaven Realm. We definitely can't let things drift.”
”So?”
”So, regardless of identity, family or school, if anyone secretly contacts influences in other macro worlds, we will just wipe them out!”
”That won't work. If we can't fight them openly, we will fight in the dark. Right now, they are all in the dark. And I believe a major part of powerful and ambitious small and medium schools and well-known families have already found their respective partners. If we truly wipe them out, hee hee, we may already be severely injured before someone else tries to take us on!”
”That's why we need to punish someone as a warning to others!”
”Who is this unlucky guy we should punish?”
”Five in total. Three are in the Penglai Region, they are all medium-sized schools. One is in the Yingzhou Region, a family. And there is one in our Central Mainland Region as well—the Li Family of Pingzhou!”
”The Li Family of Pingzhou?” The families in the Central Mainland Region did not arouse Zhou Bao's interest, but hearing the Li Family name, Zhou Bao involuntarily raised his eyebrows. ”The Li Family of Pingzhou? Who made this suggestion?”
”This information was disclosed from the Divine Wind Palace. As you know, the Human Emperor Palace is located inside the Divine Wind Palace. Nowadays, the influence of the Divine Wind Palace is declining while the power of the Human Emperor is growing. Therefore, all the important news in the Four Eastern Regions comes from the Human Emperor Palace!”
”Really? Then, that means this is my father-in-law's suggestion, isn't it?”
