Chapter 472. Planet Suzaku (1/2)
Late at night, the moon was shining brightly in the sky. A fierce figure was flying slowly through the air.
The fierce figure was a vicious beast, and that beast was shaped like a mosquito countless times larger than a normal one.
On the back of the mosquito stood one person. This person had a head of long hair that flowed elegantly in the air. He had his hands behind his back while standing on the back of the mosquito. His clothes made him look like a very upstanding person.
This person was Wang Lin.
The mosquito slowly closed in on a city below it. This was where the mortal capital city of the country of Zhou was located.
The city was filled with tall buildings and there was a river running through its center going from north to south. There were many boats on this river, and although it was 3 AM, there were lights coming from inside the boats as well as the laughter of women, making this place look even more luxurious.
Wang Lin looked at those boats and ordered the mosquito to fly down. The mosquito silently flew above the river like a god passing by.
On one of the boats, a rich man who was drunk stuck his head out to get some fresh air when he saw the shadow of the mosquito beast. In an instant, all of the alcohol in his system disappeared due to shock. It took a long time for him to recover. He thought that he had drank too much and was hallucinating.
On the east side of the city, there was a very fancy palace where the song of joyous laughter and festivity could be heard. From the back of the mosquito, Wang Lin said, “Situ, it is time to go!”
Shortly after, all of noise stopped. There was no song coming from the palace anymore; it was as if everyone just froze.
A young boy wearing a purple robe walked out. He revealed look of regret and sighed. “This old man hasn’t enjoyed himself enough yet. Cultivate, cultivate, what dogfart is there to cultivate?! My life as a king is still better; I can do whatever I want and no one dares to offend me!”
Wang Lin raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and slowly said, “We should be leaving!”
“Wait a moment. The little king of this country has been pretty good to me, so let me reward him.” With that, Situ Nan disappeared.
Half an hour later, Situ Nan’s figure suddenly appeared next to Wang Lin and laughed. “Let us go! Time to leave planet Suzaku!!!”
He then stepped onto the mosquito beast’s back. The mosquito beast was already afraid of him, so it let out a cry. It then rushed into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
The mosquito flew faster and faster until it reached the end of the first layer of the planet’s atmosphere. Once one goes past the atmosphere, they can leave planet Suzaku!
When they arrived at a certain altitude, Wang Lin put the mosquito away. Then he moved like a meteor through the atmosphere.
Situ Nan was even faster, so he pulled ahead of Wang Lin.
The power of the atmosphere pressed down upon them, creating a powerful resistance force like a giant mountain weighing down on them. Situ Nan laughed and shouted, “Scatter for this old man!”
With one roar, the atmosphere seemed to be torn apart by a pair of giant hands. The layers of the atmosphere were pushed aside, creating a tunnel.
The atmosphere was normally invisible and one could only feel it with their own body. However, right now a ripple was spreading through the atmosphere and all the way around the entire planet.
At this moment, whether they were mortals or cultivators, everyone raised their heads.
From their points of view, the sky suddenly became very colorful as rainbow-colored light shined down on them.
Zhou Wutai was standing at the peak of Mount Suzaku, revealing a look of regret.
Behind him stood several people. These were the newly-appointed messengers of Mount Suzaku. They were in charge of delivering Zhou Wutai’s every order.
Zhou Wutai muttered to himself, “Brother Wang, may your trip be smooth!” Scenes of his time with Wang Lin flashed through his mind. From when they met because of a little prince of the mortal world, to when the Four Sect Alliance was destroyed, to Wang Lin refusing the title of Suzaku and giving it to him.
