Chapter 815 - Tracing The Karmic Lines (1/2)

"You're flattering me," replied King Zi Guang.

Zhong Yue then had Mu Qingxuan and the others get out from his Yuan Shen secret realms. King Zi Guang had pulled a killing move this time; first, he sent the divine mirror that recorded the scene where Royal Prince Wen Dao killed Yang Changsheng to Zhongyang Clan, then, he sent another divine mirror that recorded every single detail to where Consort Tian disguised as Luli Clan's mountain god and assassinated Royal Prince Dao to Heavenly River Navy Fleet.

With that, the Zhongyang Clan would turn against Heavenly Monarch while the Heavenly Monarch would wage war with the Luli Clan!

While Luli Clan was completely innocent in this case, they could not say anything to exonerate themselves from this mess. First of all, with Consort Tian Si disappearing and running away, they couldn't catch her to prove their innocence and the Luli Clan's imperial charm could not explain anything.

Thus, the conflict between them will never be solved after the Heavenly Monarch's son, Royal Prince Wen Dao was killed!

After King Zi Guang's plan was executed, Heavenly Monarch's Diming Clan, Zhongyang Clan and Luli Clan were all dragged into a chaotic whirlpool. As such, the war was no longer just between Xian Tian Palace and Heavenly Monarch's family but also between these few clans, a development that gave Xian Tian Palace a little more time to regroup.

King Zi Guang was cunning; he most probably anticipated that Mu Qingxuan would become the target of many factions in order to disrupt the currently considerably peaceful situation by killing Mu Qingxuan.

King Zi Guang also noticed that Mu Qingxuan was the key and while Zhong Yue and Consort Tian Si wanted to rain chaos onto the world through Mu Qingxuan's death, King Zi Guang ignited the flames of war by taking the opportunity when the other powers assassinated Mu Qingxuan!

That was where King Zi Guang was smarter than the others and now, everything went precisely as he had planned!

Now, it was impossible for the world to stay peaceful now!

At the bottom, terrifying killing intent was howled as the Creator leader from Zhongyang Clan gazed into the divine mirror in his hands while he kept a gloomy expression and the vice commander from Heavenly River Navy Fleet turned around and stared at Lu Binger and Lu Wang with an eerie gaze.

The atmosphere was tensed that air was almost turned stagnated.

As things progressed to this stage, vengeance must be served but if they took revenge, a lot of things and people would be affected, thus, this was no longer something that both leaders could deal with among themselves.

If they decided they take things into their own hands, they were most likely dragging the power they represented into this whirlpool of chaos.

Hence, both leaders were hesitating right now.

Upon seeing this, King Zi Guang smiled and sat on a seat at the top and took out a zither. After adjusting it, he said loudly, "It seems like a decision will not be made in such a short time. Let me play a song for you, gentleman."

With that, he started strumming the strings and the melody felt as if it descended from the outer Nine Heavens. The melody was light and relaxing, like a breeze wind, it swept away the darkness and pressure in everyone, enlightening their heavy mood and calmed them down.

As the melody was played, the raging killing intent slowly calmed down and even the two Creator level leaders felt that the anger and frustration in them were being vented out.

And that was where suddenly, the melody intensified and became extremely rough.

Zheng zheng zheng—

A total of nine metal clanking like notes rang out, tearing eardrums and hearts apart. These notes were extremely blood boiling!

As the melody became even more rough and tense, everyone's blood roared happily. Under the melody's effects, something in them snapped and they were on the verge of exploding!

King Zi Guang's fingers moved swiftly, amplifying the melody's pace and tone. Vaguely, an image of armies battling in war appeared in their minds; soldiers striking down foes mercilessly, cavalry stampeding across the field and gods and demons charging towards each other. This was not a war for profit but a war to honor their families, tribes, clans, races, to repay their debts to their people and to revenge their people!

Kill!

Killing intent gushed out from the zither and the melody surged with killing intent, causing people to lose their minds, throwing everything aside as desperation for battle took over their minds and they were all fueled with the eagerness to go on a war!

"Kill!!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from a Zhongyang Clan's giant as raised his hands, slammed onto the wardrum along with the zither's melody, everyone's' blood boiled even more!

Dong dong dong—

A domino effect was triggered right away Zhongyang Clan's giants beat the drums in a way that could cause one's heart to tremble!

The gods from the Zhongyang Clan let out an angry roar and while they stood onto war carriages pulled by battle dragons, they charged right towards Heavenly River Navy Fleet.

Meanwhile, the people of Heavenly River Navy Fleet were also experiencing the same thing. They turned around and charged towards Luli Clan, resulting in a hollow defense on their back and countless heads fell onto the ground when Zhongyang Clan's war chariots charged into their back!

The vice commander from Heavenly River Navy Fleet immediately commanded the army to turn around and clashed with Zhongyang Clan's giants. The heaven shook and the ground trembled as clubs, swords, spears, and other weapons swung around.

Warships flew across the skies quickly and war chariots charged around the ground swiftly, clashing with each other and in no time, the river was dyed red with blood and flesh.

Upon seeing this, King Zi Guang kept his zither away but no one noticed the disappearance of the zither melody as what done was done and there was no turning back; the imperial flag of Heavenly River Navy Fleet was set up, the imperial shield of Zhongyang Clan was activated and each time the two items collided with each other, the impact and shockwaves left nothing but corpses behind them.

The war had erupted and there was nothing could be done to stop it.

"My part here is done now."

King Zi Guang laughed and said, "Be it Zhongyang Clan or Diming Clan, they will not let the army fight to every last one of them but they will definitely lose 70 or 80 percent of the army. This conflict today will never end and once Diming Clan notices that it was the Luli Clan that assassinated Royal Prince Wen Dao, out of self-defense, the Luli Clan will come to us and the Zhongyang Clan to form an alliance to resist Diming Clan. Mister Yi, how is this little plan of mine?"

"More than impressive." replied Zhong Yue with no expression on his face.

King Zi Guang laughed and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we should return to Xian Tian Palace now."
