Chapter 226: A slight tug
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
There was a blade stuck right in the middle of the cavity.
It looked like an incredibly ordinary sword. There were no patterns or intricate engravings on the hilt. The entire sword, from hilt to blade, began to glow.
A faint purple light began to shine from the ground. This was a strange purple glow, and it represented Si Kong's last drop of blood.
This blade was not exquisite, however, no one in the entire court would call this an ordinary blade.
This was Meng Tian's sword, the sword which had killed the Demon Lord Si Kong.
Everyone in the throne room was staring at the sword.
”This is the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian's sword?!”
”This is an extremely good sword!”
”With this sword, the glory of the Great Xia Dynasty would be reinforced!”
All of the officials looked at the sword, their eyes filled with greed and lust. However, none of them dared to make a move on it.
This blade meant too much.
This was the sword of Meng Tian, one of the greatest heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was the pride of humanity, and his sword represented his legacy.
King Duan and Lin Tianrong were both looking at the sword. Both their eyes glimmered and King Duan felt his hand shaking unconsciously.
If he could get hold of this sword, then it would solidify his place in the courts.
This blade represented greatness. Being Sagely Battle God Meng Tian's sword, it represented his legacy and will.
Combining that with his current position, who would dare go up against him in the three armies?!
The heir also felt his palms begin to sweat. He knew what King Duan wanted. You want to use the power of the sword to bring the three armies to their knees?
He could not let King Duan have his way. No matter what, he had to get the sword, because the sword represented Meng Tian's will.
The Emperor himself was slightly taken aback, nothing more. Even though the blade was stuck in the ground, it was almost as if it was in his hand.
As the Emperor, he could have the sword at any time he wanted.
This was the first time Yan Xiu, Ping Yang, Xing Qingsui and Nangong Mu seen the sword.
They knew that Fang Zhengzhi had gotten this sword from the World of the Sage, but, Why did he stab it into the ground?
Also, what did Fang Zhengzhi mean...
”An item with an owner?!”
Yu Yiping's expression was much darker than everyone else. Even though he was also looking at the sword, he was thinking about what Fang Zhengzhi had said just now.
”Any item with an owner should not be taken away even if it's lying on the floor!”
What did Fang Zhengzhi mean by that?
Could it be...
Yu Yiping had a bad feeling. The feeling was strong, but he refused to believe that this was going to happen.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly nervous. He was not nervous about the sword, but about the gaping cavity he had caused in the throne room.
Uh oh, I might have thrown it a little too heavily...
Where is this place?
The Throne Room!
Uh oh... am I going to have to pay for the gaping hole I made in the throne room? How much is it going to cause...
Will anyone believe me if I said it was an accident?
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze swept over all the officials in attendance, then he snuck a peek at King Duan and the Heir before finally looking at the Emperor's expression.
Then he heaved a sigh of relief.
No one seemed to notice the hole in the ground. All of them were looking at the sword. Well that was easy. He could simply push the blame to the sword. No one would have the sword killed or fine the sword right?
When he thought about that, Fang Zhengzhi's courage grew as he looked at the officials innocently.
”Fang Zhengzhi, you just said that this was an item with an owner, even if it's thrown on the ground, no one should take it away. What did you mean by that?” One of the officials stood out after Yu Yiping glanced in his direction.
”What do I mean? Don't you understand the meaning of that statement? Then how did you pass your examinations...” Fang Zhengzhi looked at that official condescendingly.
