424 The Beginning of the Final Battle (1/2)

”Brother Ziye, my condolences.”

In the residence of Shaman in Eternal Tree, Wang Lu was sincere in his consoling.

Before him, Zhan Ziye appeared haggard, as if he was a walking corpse.

”How to put this, even though Shaman has left you, she at least left her children to you!” While speaking this, Wang Lu inwardly felt that his words didn't seem to be comforting, but instead filled with irony. It was not easy for him to hold back his laughter when he thought of this idiot's action!

However, taking into account the situation that they had to face next, Wang Lu still needed to rely on the power of this loser nerd, so he had to continue to do everything he could to comfort him.

”Moreover, you might as well look at it from another angle. It is simply a miracle that Shaman, as the master, has died but you, her follower, are still able to survive. Before leaving, Shaman has passed on the position of Sacred Leaf to her eldest son to maintain the continuity of Sacred Leaf. Taking into account that the new master of Eternal Tree is still young, he will appoint you as the regent in order to use your follower status to govern from behind the curtain. At present, you are the actual controller of Eternal Tree, and the millions upon millions of creatures in the tree are under your jurisdiction. The forest fairy demons, from which Shaman comes from, have even picked you as their absolute ruler… The three happiness in life, to be promoted, gain wealth, and dead wife, you already have them all, what more would you ask!”

”…”

Seeing that Zhan Ziye was still indifferent to his full of sincerity consoling, Wang Lu had to sigh with emotion and admit that, this Zhan Ziye was indeed worthy to be the lead disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect; he had already been immune to the topic of woman...

Yet, Zhou Mumu that fool still worried that Zhan Ziye would make the king of Harmony River wear the green hat… She did not see who the object was! This was the lead disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect! He inherited the glorious tradition of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, doomed to live a lonely life! Even if he went to his Junior Brother Hai Yunfan to do it, it was still not a woman!

Let alone she was still inexperienced, so she couldn't see that the deep fetters between A Ye and Shaman simply couldn't be cut off! The two might have discordant personalities and might have flaws that were difficult to tolerate, but their profound love, that made them willing to sacrifice their own life for each other, was enough to offset everything. How could that kind of person possibly cheat on their spouse? That was as unrealistic as saying that Wang Wu had picked up her moral integrity that she had abandoned for years.

Wang Lu's original proposal to Xiang Liang to first cut off the alliance between Harmony River and Eternal Tree was not entirely joking. At the same time, he also put the center of gravity of the four forces alliance on Xiang Liang because water and wood were natural allies, so in theory, there was no need for him to spend too much thought on it.

Unfortunately… these guys were in such a hurry. Without waiting for him to explain, they already made their move one by one. Moreover, they were particularly self-righteous, and their style of action was especially aggressive. They were as uncontrollable as a mad dog in heat. Even the best chess player, upon encountering such pieces, could only call out in vain.

The battle of Misty capital city shocked the whole world. The king of Harmony River has united with Sacred Leaf Shaman to blow the throne on the sky. From twelve Pure Gold Guards, about half of them fell, and the Golden City could not save its face. It sounded like a brilliant victory, but the price of that was the fall of two spirit masters and the exit of water spirit Zhou Mumu. At the same time, it also triggered a huge disaster...

In fact, Wang Lu had actually guessed the intention of A Ye. Except for his brain that had been crammed with muscle, which caused him to almost have no restraint in fighting intent, A Ye only had a few points of wisdom. He thought that this way could boost the morale of the alliance, making everyone focus on their common enemy… Although Wang Lu had to admit that this simple wisdom, in general cases, was indeed practical, but the present situation was extremely complex. The result of wishful thinking often backfired from its initial intent.

While continuing to deduce the change in the situation, Wang Lu said to Zhan Ziye, ”I heard that you had planned an amazing strategy of 'Eternal Tree standing on earth'. If you succeed, you can sweep this world with an invincible helper. Unfortunately, Shaman didn't have the time to cooperate, but I'm very interested in that strategy.”

Zhan Ziye swept Wang Lu with indifferent eyes. ”So what if you're interested? Shaman is gone.”

”Shaman has gone, but she left her two children in your hand. Although those two children are still very young, they inherited their parents' unique aptitude. One has a natural compatibility with water, the other one has a natural affinity with wood. And using our standard, both are of the level of heavenly spirit root. The eldest son inherits the Sacred Leaf position and has a natural harmony with the Eternal Tree. His qualification is even better than his mother.”

Zhan Ziye impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him. ”So what? It's too late! Even with the deep foundation of Shaman, I still need at least ten days to half a month to help her comb her physique and improve her method. Let alone these two children? They simply can't afford this important task!”

Wang Lu suddenly stopped talking, tilted his head and sized Zhan Ziye up and down. The look in his eyes was very uncomfortable for Zhan Ziye.

”What's the matter?”

”I just thought…” Wang Lu lightly said, ”Right now, you look like a hungry fool who is burning with passion that normal thinking ability is not even available. The illustrious name of the lead disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect has fallen in your hand!”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Ziye ridiculed, ”Are you here just to provoke me with filthy speech?”

Wang Lu said, ”No. I initially came here to seek your support, but the current Zhan Ziye has become completely useless. Your academic spirit has been totally drowned by the joy of man and woman, completely insignificant.”

”Damn, you're taking advantage while others are down!” Half of Zhan Ziye's body turned into lightning as he reached out to grab Wang Lu's collar. And surprisingly, Wang Lu didn't resist with his Non-Phase Sword, but just moaned with a smiling expression.

”Do you really want to fight me?” Zhan Ziye clenched his teeth. ”I'm in a bad mood right now, so stop provoking me!”

Wang Lu laughed out loud. ”It's so rare for Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciple to utter this kind of local gangster's words. Oh Zhan Ziye, for the sake of our friendship, I remind you again, the strategy of a standing Eternal Tree is not completely unfeasible. Even if Shaman is not here, there is a way to control it… and that way, should not have been reminded by me to you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Ziye wrinkled his brows, there was still a way? To control Eternal Tree, there must be a strong core to act as a bridge. Before this, he put his hope on Shaman, but now… who could replace Shaman's position?

After thinking about it, Zhan Ziye ended up not having any clue, but when he looked at Wang Lu's facial expression, he became especially irritated. ”Don't keep me in suspense. If you are really sincere in the alliance, then just say it!”

Wang Lu uttered a laugh, then stopped smiling and said with a heavy face, ”Actually, the way is very simple. Strengthen the current Sacred Leaf by using the power of the blood mark.”

”The power of the blood mark…” After whispering to himself, Zhan Ziye finally vaguely guessed Wang Lu's method. His pupils sharply contracted and his breath stagnated.
