Novel Full Chapter 367 - Eve
Chapter 367 Eve
In the Garden Party at night, light rain was scattered between heaven and earth.
Wang Tianzong sat in the garden pavilion with flowers and plants. He watched the rain falling outside the pavilion and silently put down the phone in his hand. He fell silent.
Sitting on the opposite side of Wang Tianzong, Wang Xiaoyao drank and saw his elder brother hang up the phone then said solemnly, “Brother, what did the president say?”
“What else could he say? Of course, he praised the Wang family of Beihai.”
Wang Tianzong smiled and looked relaxed, but he was clenching his cell phone calmly.
As the Patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai and the strongest wealthy family in Zhongzhou State, Wang Tianzong and the Zhongzhou State President Li Huacheng did not have many phone calls. Each time, the two sides would not talk too much. This time, the president went overseas for a visit. The duration of this cross country call did not last too long, less than five minutes.
As Wang Tianzong himself had said, President Li Huacheng’s words on the phone were full of praise and encouragement for the Wang family of Beihai, such as that they were the pillar of Zhongzhou State, the cornerstone of the country, and the Sword Emperor, which he had said several times.
Wang Tianzong listened in silence. He knew that the praises were meaningless. What he cared about was the topic that Li Huacheng wanted to discuss.
Or Li Huacheng’s attitude.
Li Huacheng’s attitude was only four words.
“He hopes that I can focus on national affairs.”
Wang Tianzong said it. There was no emotion in his voice and his face did not show any change.
“Elder Brother, you have already decided?”
Wang Xiaoyao smiled and looked down at the drinks in front of him.
“It’s just a young man. Even if it is the Chosen One, he is still young after all. The life and death of young people are not state affairs.”
Wang Tianzong’s tone was indifferent.
He came to Huating for the final maneuver of the two academies. On this day, he had received a lot of calls, including from the Academics, the Giant Group. Even some people inside the Southeast Group had tentatively tested his attitude.
Wang Tianzong was determined.
So he showed no attitude to anyone.
No attitude was his attitude.
He had to kill Li Tianlan.
He was not to give in or to give face to anyone.
“The life and death of a young Chosen One is not a state affair. But is the Chosen One’s life and death not a state affair?” Wang Xiaoyao asked.
Although there were not many young Chosen Ones, they were not the only ones. Wang Tianzong, Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun, and others were also called the Zhongzhou State’s young Chosen Ones when they were young. But the fact proved that although they had entered the Invincible Realm, they had no potential of being the real Chosen Ones.
Even today’s younger generation, Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan, and even Jiang Shangyu, could be regarded as young Chosen Ones.
But there was only one true Chosen One.
Li Tianlan.
He had the combat capability of the Invincible Realm when he was 22 years old.
If given enough time, up to 10 years, he could even go to the top of the Divine List in the Dark World.
At that time, Li Tianlan would only be in his early 30s, young enough to protect Zhongzhou State for at least several decades.
Was such a prospect not a national matter?
“So what? Li Huacheng asked me to focus on national affairs. But in my mind, national affairs are not important. But family affairs are the most important.”
Wang Tianzong calmly said, “If Zhongzhou State loses Li Tianlan in the future, some people will carry the flag of Zhongzhou State in the Dark World. If the Wang family of Beihai has Li Tianlan in the future, how will Mount Dibing act? How can they ensure the security of the 20 million people in Beihai Province?”
His voice was not loud, but he sounded more and more firm, like a rock and unshakable.
“Many things are not right or wrong. I am eradicating the future enemy of the Wang family of Beihai. This is what I must do, no matter what I have to face.”
Wang Xiaoyao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
The rain outside the pavilion was loud.
Wisps of rain began to drift into the pavilion.
Wang Tianzong turned the wine glass and kept calm. All the wind began blowing out from him, with him as the center. The rain around the pavilion was blown out immediately.
“Have you thought about the consequences?” Wang Xiaoyao asked suddenly.
“What consequences?”
Wang Tianzong’s tone was cold. “If Li Tianlan is alive, they will protect him. Because he is the Chosen One. If he is dead, he is nothing.”
“Is that true for the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Lin Clan?” Wang Xiaoyao asked.
Wang Tianzong gasped for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
He looked up at the rain in the air and said camly, “I have this mental preparation. Even if Deity and Fengting appear on the scene, they can’t change anything. If I want to kill someone, they can’t stop me.”
“Brother.”
Wang Xiaoyao looked at Wang Tianzong. His tone was a little strange. “You are crazy.”
“I’m not crazy.”
Wang Tianzong smiled. “You don’t understand what a real rise of the Chosen One means to the Wang family of Beihai.”
He looked at his brother with soft eyes. “You’re not in my position, so you can’t fully understand the glory that the Wang family of Beihai has inherited for hundreds of years. I am the Patriarch. In my position, there is nothing more important than the Wang family of Beihai. I mean nothing is more important.”
“Including me? Including Yuetong?”
Wang Xiaoyao faced Wang Tianzong’s eyes.
Wang Tianzong narrowed his eyes and said quietly, “What do you mean?”
Wang Xiaoyao and Wang Tianzong stared at each other for a while. Then he lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Yuetong doesn’t want Li Tianlan to die. I don’t want that, either.”
Wang Yuetong wanted to keep Li Tianlan alive.
Wang Tianzong could understand it.
But why did Wang Xiaoyao not want Li Tianlan to die?
Wang Tianzong looked at his brother.
From the other person’s face, he saw pain and entanglement, and a touch of tenderness and longing.
Wang Tianzong understood and sneered slightly. “You haven’t given up that woman yet?”
Wang Xiaoyao held the glass tightly, gritted his teeth, and did not look at Wang Tianzong.
“Aren’t you obsessively tidy?”
Wang Tianzong’s tone was mean. “She has been with Li Tianlan. Isn’t the woman he slept with dirty in your heart? You…”
“She’s not dirty!”
A slam resounded.
Wang Xiaoyao slammed his fist on the marble table and rose up with red eyes.
His elder brother’s sentence directly pierced a fact that he had been reluctant to face for several years. Wang Xiaoyao seemed to be greatly stimulated. His eyes became widened and he stared at Wang Tianzong fiercely.
Wang Tianzong shut up and said nothing, but looked at his brother peacefully.
“I… I don’t mind!”
Wang Xiaoyao said with a hoarse voice, “Brother, you can just make Li Tianlan disabled. If he dies, Little Bai and I would really have no chance of being together.”
The light rain turned into heavy rain.
The heavy rain was chaotic.
Wang Tianzong watched Wang Xiaoyao quietly without saying a word.
Wang Xiaoyao finally understood that it was not his big brother who was crazy but himself.
But he really liked or even fell in love with that woman. He loved her style, her coldness, and her every move.
As long as he could get her, he really did not mind that she was Li Tianlan’s woman.
She always was a goddess, high above him, inviolable and not desecrated.
Wang Xiaoyao knew that he was hopeless and crazy.
“Just be crazy.
“F*ck the dignified reason.
“The glory of the Wang family of Beihai for hundreds of years?
“Is it important?”
Maybe it was important.
But that was what his big brother assumed.
It was not what he needed to bear.
He never f*cking needed to bear it!
“Brother, please.”
Wang Xiaoyao whispered. He had never been so humble in front of his elder brother, who had taken care of himself with love since he was a child.
“Shut up.”
Wang Tianzong said calmly, “Sit down.”
His voice was not loud, but it was powerful.
Wang Xiaoyao clenched his fists and sat down.
“You want to use Li Tianlan to threaten Qin Weibai? Even if she is submits, are you willing to get her like this?” Wang Tianzong asked.
“Time changes everything.”
Wang Xiaoyao lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
“Time does change everything.”
Wang Tianzong nodded deeply in sympathy. “But such a change is definitely not what you want. You threaten Qin Weibai with Li Tianlan’s life and death. What can you do if Qin Weibai obeys you? Do you really think that Qin Weibai can’t do anything after the Master of Samsara Palace died? If she enters the Wang family of Beihai, the whole Wang family of Beihai may be named Qin for decades after I die.”
Wang Xiaoyao changed his expression and just wanted to speak. But Wang Tianzong continued to say, “I can forget what you just said. Use your brain when you speak later.”
“Brother.”
Wang Xiaoyao’s expression changed.
“Pour the wine.”
Wang Tianzong knocked on the wine glass.
Wang Xiaoyao silently picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Wang Tianzong.
In the pavilion, on this misty rainy night, Wang Tianzong raised his glass to Wang Xiaoyao.
It was a rainy night.
The bell rang in the Garden Party.
The thick and clear bell resounded throughout the whole Garden Party.
Wang Tianzong glanced at the night sky.
The bell rang.
Midnight had passed.
This moment was in the early morning of July 31st in Zhongzhou State.
There were less than eight hours until the final maneuver.
Wang Xiaoyao raised his glass and touched Wang Tianzong’s. He drank down the wine in the glass.
The warm wine became slightly cold.
The midsummer of late July seemed to have a bit of coolness.
The two brothers sat quietly in the pavilion.
They were long tired of the night scene.
The good wine was tasteless.
The two brothers drank quietly, glass after glass, full of worries.
…
This year was destined to be a turbulent year in the Dark World, and a turbulent year in Zhongzhou State.
The drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the the Polar Ground Alliance had most severely affected Zhongzhou State, which was close to Snow Country, in addition to the Eastern European countries led by Snow Country.
The territory of the entire Dark World seemed to be condensing in just a few days.
The Chaos dominated by the Fantasy World appeared in Eastern Europe.
In the Jiang family of South America, two Invincible Realm masters, dubbed Jiang Da and Jiang Er by the Dark World, appeared in Eastern Europe.
The Vatican Saint War Angel, Aresis, appeared in Eastern Europe.
The President of the Heroes’ Club appeared in Eastern Europe.
The God of War in Star State, the leader of the men in black Kass Rotter, appeared in Eastern Europe.
Throne of Shadows entered Snow Country.
The battlefield between the Dark Knights and the Knights Templar transferred from Northern Europe to Eastern Europe.
All the major killer groups in the world and the Mercenary Group were all about to move.
Eastern Europe seemed to be the epitome of the entire Dark World. Today, most of the forces of the Dark World were gathered there. Most people in the Invincible Realm had been on the Divine & Holy Lists.
The whole of Eastern Europe was like gunpowder on the verge of explosion. Once it exploded, Eastern Europe would be turbulent and even Central Europe could not be spared.
Zhongzhou State was the world’s largest power.
With such a huge influence in Eastern Europe, everyone seemed to have a reason to invade Zhongzhou State.
That was especially true in the case of Gu Xingyun, the God of War protecting Zhongzhou State, who was seriously injured.
But everyone seemed to forget it.
It was as if they did not dare to remember.
Zhongzhou State lacked Gu Xingyun.
But in Beihai of Zhongzhou State, the Sword Emperor was there!
No one wanted to think of this suffocating name.
But the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State forcefully appeared in front of everyone with his actions.
It was at the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
The sword, Listen to the Sea, was risen and the Sword Energy reached 10,000 meters!
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace completely collapsed under the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The entire Dark World seemed to be shrouded in the sword-edge shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
This was how the Wang family of Beihai proactively declared military force before the war was about to spread to Beihai.
So the Wang family of Beihai immediately released a video of Wang Tianzong’s stroke.
The video was complete.
But the Sword Energy in the video was so majestic that even the video could not fully capture it.
Everyone could only see the towering sword intent that rose from the sea and plunged into the sky, but it was impossible to estimate the specific power of that sword.
Gu Xingyun had seen the video of that moment countless times.
The Sword Energy flew into the sky and fell from top to bottom, as if breaking through the sky and tearing the earth.
There was a blur of light and shadow at the headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
The sword energy and light became entangled at the same time, and the entire island began to burst at the center.
The Master of Samsara Palace.
The Super Master of Samsara.
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
Everything was destroyed under this sword.
With only one sword, the Master of Samsara Palace died.
Three Super Masters of Samsara Palace were killed.
The whole Samsara Palace seemed to fall apart with this sword in an instant, completely disappearing in the Dark World.
Gu Xingyun watched the video silently.
His face was solemn and serious.
It was a long time before Gu Xingyun took a deep breath and said in low voice, “It’s like a miracle.”
“Wang Tianzong is indeed invincible. But he is not as invincible as you think. The Master of Samsara Palace is not as weak as you think,” Li Xi stood beside Gu Xingyun and said with a numb tone.
“What do you mean?”
Gu Xingyun frowned and turned.
“Wang Tianzong should have broken through.”
Li Xi’s tone was gentle. “But he has not completely surpassed the Invincible Realm. In the Dark World at present, he has an absolute advantage over anyone, but still lacks a little absolute dominance. The last sword of the Master of Samsara Palace was also very strong. The explosion of this island was mainly due to the sword intent of Wang Tianzong. But it seems that there is also a self-destruct device inside the Samsara Palace.”
Li Xi paused. “The Master of Samsara Palace should have taken Wang Tianzong to his death along with himself. But unfortunately, Wang Tianzong broke through half a step. The Sword Energy of 10,000 meters and the self-destruct device on the island of the Samsara Palace and the complete explosion of the Sword Energy all led to the death of the Master of Samsara Palace. But Wang Tianzong was not affected because he was too far away.”
“The Master of Samsara Palace is dead…”
Gu Xingyun murmured to himself and sneered. “It’s good that he died. It’d be better if they both died.”
Li Xi stood expressionlessly and said calmly, “The enemy of Wang Tianzong is dead. That is not a good thing for you. The strength of the current Sword Emperor makes him infinitely close to the Chosen One even if he is not the true one. He can be said to be the only Deity in the whole Dark World. If he conqueres Eastern Europe, then Kunlun City would never have a chance to recover.”
“Deity?!”
Gu Xingyun sneered, squinting at Li Xi. “It seems that there is a man on East Island who calls himself a Deity. Why isn’t he a so-called Deity?”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun indifferently without saying a word.
“The upheaval in Eastern Europe is both a crisis and an opportunity. It is difficult for Zhongzhou State to stay out of it. I have been injured and inconvenient to travel. After the maneuver, I will kill Li Tianlan. You go to Snow Country for me.”
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi, calmly shifting the topic.
Li Xi nodded expressionlessly. This was what Gu Xingyun had already said.
Gu Xingyun closed his eyes and said indifferently, “I don’t care what you do. But remember, what I want is in the interest of Kunlun City. If you do well on a trip to Snow Country, I will give you freedom when my injury recovers. If you can’t do it well, you don’t need to see Fallen City in the future.”
He took a look at Li Xi and meaningfully said, “I only want what is in the interest of Kunlun City.”
Li Xi sneered and said nothing.
She knew what Gu Xingyun meant.
As long as Gu Xingyun only wanted what was in the interest of Kunlun City, it meant that in order to achieve his goal, she could hit anyone on this trip.
In the absence of the Samsara Palace, her opponents were the superpowers of the Dark World.
It was Sigh City and other influences in Zhongzhou State.
It was also the Wang family of Beihai.
How could enemies and allies be so clearly distinguished?
Li Xi was not angry, but his cold sneer made her feel a little less numb, and instead, proud.
Gu Xingyun’s breathing became a little quick. He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xi over. He wanted to pull her clothes off.
“Smack!”
Li Xi did not hesitate to slap Gu Xingyun’s face hard.
…
As the absolute seeded fighter in the maneuver of two academies, Wang Shengxiao opened up a separate area in Sky Academy.
All his confidence and pride began to disappear before Li Tianlan’s absolute strength.
He was now at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
Li Tianlan had the combat capability of the Invincible Realm.
Wang Shengxiao could hardly imagine how big the gap was between the two of them.
The maneuver was getting closer.
In a short time, Wang Shengxiao knew that he could not keep up with Li Tianlan.
So now he no longer thought about winning.
What he asked for was not to be defeated.
He wished that he would at least not lose too embarrassingly.
The strongest unique skill in the Wang family of Beihai, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, was only a sword. But it could be split freely.
The former was six realms of existence.
The latter was Samsara.
Wang Shengxiao had absolute confidence. As long as he could use that type of Samsara in the final maneuver, he was invincible.
So a few days before the final maneuver, Wang Shengxiao’s voice completely disappeared.
He was alone in his room, either meditating or tempering his sword intent.
Song Ci and Wang Shengxiao stayed together.
In their two residences, the sharp and crazy sword intent increased almost every second. In the end, let alone ordinary students, even the teachers of the Sky Academy were too afraid to approach this area.
As the sword intent in this residence became more and more violent, more and more people began to look forward to it.
The Chosen One in Zhongzhou State.
The Chosen One in Beihai.
What brilliant result would come out of the collision between those two?
Would it be a one-sided crushing? Or a close fight?
Everyone was thinking about it.
Song Ci was also thinking.
The night was gradually falling.
The area where she and Wang Shengxiao lived was full of all smooth but impatient sword intents.
All was quiet late at night.
Song Ci looked at his watch.
It was three o’clock in the morning.
There were less than five hours before the final maneuver would officially begin.
All the sword intents began to gather toward Wang Shengxiao’s room.
Song Ci’s face was tense and excited.
She did not know if Wang Shengxiao was successful. But he was absolutely focused on meditation for several days. She was sure that Wang Shengxiao would obtain something.
She stood up subconsciously, and hesitatingly walked to the room that Wang Shengxiao was in.
In a split second, a drastic change took place!
The sword that had been slowly gathered was completely violent for a moment. The Sword Energy was madly converging toward Wang Shengxiao’s room, and then it sprayed out of the room in an instant. All the furniture in the living room area was completely split by the Sword Energy. The Sword Energy rushed out of the door. All the sword intents were completely out of control, bursting out in every corner.
Song Ci, whose face changed dramatically, rushed to Wang Shengxiao’s room without hesitation.
In the room, Wang Shengxiao had opened his eyes.
He was flushed and sweating.
Seeing Song Ci rush in, who was a little frightened, he smiled softly, helplessly, and powerlessly.
“What happened to you?” Song Ci asked while trembling.
Wang Shengxiao moved his lips.
“Puff!”
Crimson blood spurted directly from his mouth, staining the floor of the room.
…
The rain outside the window was still falling.
It was getting heavier.
The darkest hours before dawn faded away.
It was midsummer.
The morning light outside the window lit up the sky a little bit.
Day alternated with night.
Before the final maneuver, the calm but unusual eve was finally over.
