668 Let It Go (1/2)

The news of Wang Tong's appearance on the Moon and his 'kidnapping' of Zhou Sisi had gone viral on the Moon. So insolent was the Earthling boy that he had stolen the young lover of Divine Lord. He had carried the mission with such levity that it was as if he had picked up a girl during his stroll in a park.

The ease with which Wang Tong had succeeded in his mission spoke loudly of his abilities. However powerful Jin Qianzheng was, he was rendered motionless by the energy projected from Wang Tong. Most immortals had seen the recording of the fight between Wang Tong and Moye; however, watching an opponent on the screen was a very different experience than fighting one in real life.

The incident stirred the Immortals and made them restless for revenge. Zhou Sisi was considered as Patroclus' mistress by the immortal public, and Wang Tong's action was a brazen provocation. Meanwhile, the public on the moon turned their attention to Patroclus as they waited for his response. As the leader of hundreds of thousands of immortals, Patroclus could not appear to be weak.

But contrary to the public's expectation, Patroclus didn't lose his marbles when he heard the news. He had felt Wang Tong's presence ever since he landed on the moon, and guessed out the latter's plan right away. Knowing that Patroclus would risk his overall plan by confronting him, Wang Tong didn't attempt to mask his soul energy. Neither Wang Tong nor Patroclus wanted to involve Zhou Sisi in their final showdown.

With the last connection with the human world gone, Patroclus could finally double down on his plan of subjugating the human race. He wished Zhou Sisi good luck and felt happy for her to finally be with the person she so madly loved—the person he would kill very soon to commemorate his ascension to godhood.

Patroclus had spent the night by himself inside the giant empty hall of the Divine Lord, thinking and reflecting on his past for the last time. With the sunlight of the morning, he lit up a fire in his mind and burned his old memories away: a new era was about to begin.

The Immortal force searched for Wang Tong on the moon. They secretly wished, but were not hopeful, that they would find the heir of the Blade Warrior. Even if they did, they would have no idea how to deal with him. To the Immortals, Wang Tong was as much an impossible target as Patroclus were to the humans six years ago. Wang Tong had turned the tables around using not only his one on one combat skills, but also mass destruction mastery spells. He could have demolished an entire regiment with a snap of the finger.

The immortals were not that different from the humans, particularly in their ability to exaggerate things. It wasn't long before high tales about Wang Tong's power being circulated among the immortals as well as the humans. Despite the tales' detachment from reality, they had strengthened the humans' confidence in their victory. The more confidence they had, the more clearly they realized that the final showdown against the Immortals was inevitable.

If the Martians were able to liberate themselves from the rule of an alien race, so could the other humans; the key to their success was Wang Tong.

Not only was Wang Tong a powerful warrior in his own right, but he was also exceptionally good at bringing out his soldiers' full potential.

As Patroclus planned a measured response to Wang Tong's act of 'kidnapping', Wang Tong and Zhou Sisi had returned to Earth safe and sound. Wang Tong's had redeemed Zhou Sisi's reputation by saving her personally, and it was finally revealed to the public that the mysterious agent zero was the purposed traitor, Zhou Sisi.

Zhou Sisi didn't care a wee bit about the public's opinion, for she felt that she was living in her dreams when Wang Tong descended from the sky to save her. When she lay inside Wang Tong's arms, she hoped that the time would stop so that she could live in this moment forever.

Unprepared for such a huge change in her life, Zhou Sisi remained dazed by the sudden turn of events. Her mind was filled with images of Wang Tong; the incident played over and over again in her mind and never got old.

She didn't recover from her daydreaming until she saw Ma Xiaoru.

”Welcome back, Zhou Sisi!”

Unsure what to say, Zhou Sisi blushed. Ma Xiaoru turned around and cast Wang Tong a searing glance.

”I need to speak with Zhou Sisi in private, so would you please excuse us?” Ma Xiaoru asked.

”What are you going to say behind my back?” Wang Tong asked nervously.

”Private stuff.” Ma Xiaoru replied firmly. Wang Tong conceded defeat unwillingly as he backed out of the room. Outside, he met Zhang Jin, who gave him a thumbs up. Wang Tong scratched his head as he tried to grasp what Zhang Jin was saying. Failing that, he asked, ”Are you laughing at me?”

”I am giving you a compliment. Not every man can have two women.”
