Chapter 23 Utter Destruction is your fate II (1/2)
The King was seated in a wooden chair in the back garden. With a slightly flustered look on his face, the King waited for Butler Sun's arrival.
The King was a middle-aged man who was emitting a kind of radiance that is fit for someone of his status. His visage was light and carried no haughtiness that many kings had. He looked like a kind and benevolent King.
He had no guards with him as he left them at the front gate of the Wang family manor. At first they insisted that they will follow him inside but he argued that they he will be talking about something important with the Wang family.
In the end the royal guards gave up trying to enter with him and stood in gates of the Wang family manor. He did indeed didn't want to let anyone in with him as the discussion he was going to have with Wang family's butler was simply too delicate.
However, he did take one person in with him.
By his side was Azure Lin who was in the dark about the current matter. He does not know what the contract the Butler of the Wang family was talking about. But he was worried nonetheless.
The way his father reacted earlier was too when he spoke about the contract ending was too exaggerated. His royal father even hurried over to the Wang family's doorstep.
He looked at his royal father warily as he tried to think of an answer to the question inside his head. However, he was unable to make any kind of conjecture.
Soon, the old butler he saw earlier came. Azure Lin looked at Butler Sun full of respect. He knew that this butler was a true expert. For him to eradicate a force of the Demon Blood Cult single-handedly was enough to earn his respect.
Azure Lin bowed and the King stood up and greeted Butler Sun as soon as he walked in.
”Butler Sun how is the injuries of Young Master Wang? I will help you in any way possible so just tell me.”
Azure Botai humbled himself in front of Butler Sun and this scene made Azure Lin's chin almost touch the ground. For a king to call a member of the younger generation as Young Master, how high really is the position of this Wang family?
”Thank you for your concern King Azure but the young master's situation is now stable. Although his spirit ocean and qi pillar has been invaded by some foreign qi, we will be able to save him if we hurry back to the main house.”
Butler Sun gave them an apologetic look all of a sudden. Azure Botai knew of the underlying meaning of this face and showed a saddened face. What Butler Sun meant was that they will go back to their original house.
Butler Sun was also aware that Azure Botai knew what he was saying so he looked at him and spoke seriously.
”Don't worry about your southern borders. The Master signed a contract with your royal family as thanks for helping his ancestors. He gave you a promise that he will train a group of one hundred thousand men and turn them into elites that will protect your land. In addition, he will stay in the Azure Kingdom to protect your Kingdom from any danger for twenty years, is that correct?
”However I as his representative ask you to let us leave in todays after destroying the Demon Blood Cult. The Young Master of our family has only been awake for a short month and he had already suffered and is on the verge of death. I wish to severe 'it' as early as possible.
Azure Botai knew what his speech meant. And that was to cut off the contract his royal family had with Wang Shu Qing.
”That is indeed true. At that time I said that he does not need to do any of these but he insisted in doing so anyway saying: ”It is my duty as their descendants to repay your Kingdom”, he insisted in protecting our Kingdom's southern border where the Demon Blood Cult and Bandit Coalition dwell.
”He destroyed the Bandit Coalition in ten years and continuously suppressed the Demon Blood Cult that was terrorizing my citizens. He had already done so much for my Kingdom and citizen without us doing anything for him.
”I cannot reward him any material thing that can help him in his future endeavor, but if severing the contract can help the General.”
Azure Botai was honestly relieved. He thought that his life would be lost today. It is so good that the men of the Wang family didn't held a grudge. His earlier worried look slightly lighten.
What he didn't know was that if Butler Sun didn't stop his men, the face of this King would have long been a pig head. He had just let the people of the Demon Blood Cult enter his Kingdom resulting in Wang Ling receiving an injury.
Azure Botai took out a scroll from his royal robe. He unfurled it and spoke with a loud voice:
”This is the Heaven's Contract. I hereby declare that the contract between the royal family of the Azure Skies Kingdom and General Wang Shu Qing is severed.”
He then took out a sword and cut his palms. Letting his blood fall into the unfurled scroll. The scroll let out a bright light before turning into a ball of fire.
The contract has been severed.
Butler Sun said his thanks to Azure Botai.
”Thank you King Azure, I will send your family something after we arrived at the main house. I wish to entertain you King Azure but I need to prepare for my travel.”
Azure Botai was rather surprise. They were already leaving? So soon? He was caught off guard and asked.
”Is the injury of Young Master Wang really that serious? Do you really need to go back to your main house so fast?”
Butler Sun shook his head before saying.
”No, we're not going to leave the Kingdom. I am going to make a trip to the southern borders and find the master, after that, I will go to the Hideous Ghost Valley.”
”Hideous Ghost Valley? Butler Sun, might I ask what you're going to do there?” Azure Botai asked curiously.
The Hideous Ghost Valley was considered as the land of death, it had many evil spirits wandering there and miasma that can poison an energy palace stage cultivator can be found there. What could Butler Sun's intention for going there?
Butler Sun looked at him and smiled.
”I'm going to destroy the Demon Blood Cult.”
The Azure father and son was left with their mouths agape after hearing that line. What a domineering line it was, announcing that he will destroy a sect on his own. If any other person said that to them, they will look at that person with disdain and spit at him for acting so arrogantly.
However, when they heard it from Butler Sun's mouth. They can't help it but have hope surface in their hearts. They felt that this person in front of them could actually do what he had just proclaimed.
In the end, the Azure father and son didn't manage to say anything back to Butler Sun other than: ”Good luck!”
