"You paranoia, you're even more of a demon than me."
Chen Shaobai's father said: "I will return your strength to you, and help you as much as I can. Maybe it's just a little bit late for you to die. For you right now, dying late might not be a good thing. "
An Zheng slowly shook his head, "If there's hope, I won't give up."
He felt the power from the Blood Pearl Bracelet rush back to him, and he sat up straight once again.
Amidst the waves of blood, the youth walked alone.
At the same time, at Tiantong Palace.
A group of Tiantong Palace's guards wearing embroidered clothes strode in. The guards at the entrance of the Sky Protection Hall stopped them, and before they had the chance to ask, they were cut down by those people. The men who had been transferred from the Heavenly Awakening Sect all gathered quickly, forming a defensive array outside the Sky Protection Palace. As for the guards who had barged in, they started charging forward without saying a word.
The moment the two sides clashed, blood would flow like rivers.
Great Mother Ye stood behind Xiao Qi Dao and saw that his shoulders were trembling.
"Are they here to kill me? Mother? "
Xiao Qi Dao asked.
Great Mother Ye shook his head: "They aren't here to kill you, and won't. But they will control you in ways more cruel than killing you, and turn you into their puppet. "
"Where is big brother An Zheng?"
"He... Seven, you are almost ten years old, so there are some things you need to learn to think and judge. When these people wanted to control you, the first person they wanted to kill was your big brother An Zheng. "
Xiao Qi Dao turned around and looked at Great Mother Ye. "Mother, I am from the Mu Family, so is the throne more important or Big Brother An Zheng more important?"
Great Mother Ye was unable to answer this question. She knew how much An Zheng had done for her and she also knew how much her father and Mu Changyan had done for him. It was not a matter of comparison, so there was no answer.
Xiao Qi Dao looked at the people outside: "Heavenly Awakening Sect must also be under siege. Big Sister Xiao Yezi, Big Sister Xiao Liu'er, Big Brother Fatty, they must be in danger too. But the Heaven Defying Seal is with me, Big Brother An Zheng said. The Heaven Defying Seal can guarantee my safety. They don't care about their own safety for me. Wang is to take care of a country, so that everyone can live and work in peace. Guo is a big family, and there are a lot of people at home. But that's just what I told others... I only have one family, one mother, and one older brother and sister. "
He took a deep breath, "Without family, the throne..." What's the use of it? "
He pushed the door open and walked out, "Big Brother An Zheng is important, mother, you should have told me this, not hesitated."
With that, he walked out of the Tian Bao Hall.
More and more people rushed in from outside, and it became harder and harder for the men of Heavenly Awakening Sect to persevere. The Xiao Qi Dao walked out step by step. Everyone was stunned as they opened up a path for himself.
"Great King, you can't go anywhere today."
A cultivator of the Xiao Family stepped forward and blocked the path in front of Xiao Qi Dao. That person had an early stage Captive Stage cultivation.
"Is An Zheng dead?"
Xiao Qi Dao stopped and asked.
The cultivator stared blankly for a moment, then replied, "At this time, perhaps he is already dead."
Xiao Qi Dao was silent for a while, but he did not let the sorrow in his eyes show. He raised his hand and the Heaven Defying Seal floated behind him. Then, he turned around to look at Great Mother Ye. "Mother, did your son make the right decision?"
Great Mother Ye nodded heavily.
The Xiao Qi Dao disappeared.
The Heaven Defying Seal disappeared.
On the streets of the outer streets of Heavenly Awakening Sect, people were blocking them.
They were all facing the outside, and outside was a youth who looked as if he could die at any moment. An Zheng struggled to get off the Holy Fish Scale s, but the Holy Fish Scale immediately erected a round shield and started revolving around An Zheng. An Zheng raised his head to look at the Nine Hell Magic Bell, then walked forward quickly.
"Kill him!"
It was unknown who shouted, but a group of people charged towards An Zheng. An Zheng's neck was injured, and he was unable to completely raise his head, but when he walked with his head lowered, it was like a divine dragon lowering its head. He moved forward, blood coming forward, waves of blood pushing forward.
The Seventh Master of the Drizzle Court, Xiao Ke, who was fighting in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, rushed over from afar. When he saw An Zheng, he jumped in fright: "Madman … He actually didn't die! He raised the saber in his hand, which was a peak Red Rank magical equipment, and slashed forward at the back of the crowd. The saber Qi passed through the back of the crowd in a straight line. Everyone on this line was hacked into pieces by the saber Qi. The crowd was forced to retreat like waves of water.
Dang!
The blade qi landed on the Holy Fish Scale.
Following the sound, the shockwave spread out in all directions. An Zheng's feet were all knocked into the ground by the huge force, but he was still unwilling to fall down.
"Damn it!"
Shaoke charged forward and swung his saber. The crescent-shaped saber Qi slashed through the people in his way, causing them to fall to the ground like wheat that had been cut down. The Nine Hell Magic Bell moved forward and blocked the blade qi. An Zheng's body swayed and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
But he did not fall.
"Let's see how long you can last!"
He raised the saber in his hand once more. Just as he was about to chop down, a black shadow flashed over from afar. Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force knocked back Xiao Ke, sending him flying backwards. Even the ring blade shattered. Shaoke lowered his head to look at his hands, which had been split open. His two arms couldn't help but tremble violently.
A small figure stood in front of An Zheng, his face filled with determination. He turned around and glanced at An Zheng with heartache: "Big Brother An Zheng, you're behind me, it's my turn to protect you."
Mu Qidao slowly let out a breath of air. "Big Brother An Zheng said before, don't kill anyone if you can avoid killing them. The sins of men are divided into many levels, and many do evil, but they should not be killed. So you say that a perfect statute is needed to define what a person should be punished for. But big brother An Zheng, I'm going to kill someone today... I am the Swallow King, but I do not care about decrees. The people who hurt you, the people who hurt my family in Heavenly Awakening Sect, only one rule suits them, they deserve to die. "
The Heaven Defying Seal turned into an iron rod, holding it up high with both hands.
"Those who block the way shall be killed without mercy."
Then, the steel rod fell … The gigantic iron rod was over a hundred meters long and over ten meters in length. It nearly covered the entire street! The shadow of the iron rod descended, directly smashing the ground of the entire street. All the people that were below the iron rod simulacrum had all died.
Xiao Qi Dao reached out a hand, and grabbed onto An Zheng's hand. He strode forward and pulled An Zheng forward.
His left hand led An Zheng, just like how An Zheng had led him the entire time, holding onto him tightly. In his right hand he held the iron rod, which was stained with blood.
"Big brother, let's go home."
Mu Qidao led An Zheng and walked forward, but no one dared to get close to the assassins. Shaoke gritted his teeth and wanted to charge forward, but he didn't know why, but the little kid who was coming towards him step by step and the boy who looked like he was about to die brought a great fear upon him. He gathered his courage a few times, but was unable to take another step forward.
Just like that, Mu Qidao held An Zheng's hand and wal
ked down the main street with him, one in front and one behind. But in the past, it had always been An Zheng walking in front, so it was his turn this time.
That young and tender figure was incomparably strong.
A long, long time ago, as the two of them walked, Mu Qidao asked: "Big Brother An Zheng, are there many good people or many bad people in the world?"
"There are many good people."
"Hmm, I also think that there are a lot of good people here."
Mu Qidao asked again: "Big Brother An Zheng, are there more people in the world or are there more bad people?"
"There are many good people."
An Zheng replied with blood trickling down his mouth.
"Why are there bad guys in front of us?"
"Because... They were scared, so they all came. "
Mu Qidao acknowledged, "Big Brother An Zheng also said before, that the reason the bad people look so much is because they don't … Enough. Dammit... "Afraid!"
The iron rod moved forward, and corpses littered the ground.
The few leaders of the Drizzle Court rushed up like fiends. But Xiao Qi Dao only held An Zheng's hand, and carried the steel rod as they walked.
The Xiao Qi Dao who was about to kill for the first time, suddenly swung his iron rod, one by one. Those powerful people of the Drizzle Court, none of them could stop him!
Chapter 291 - Samsara
"Why did no one tell me that Mu Qidao's cultivation is high and profound?!"
"He... He had never fought before and had even been kidnapped by the Gao Clan. Thus, this lowly subordinate thought that even if he knew some cultivation, his cultivation was still very ordinary. "Why else would they be kidnapped by the Gao Family?"
"You think?!"
The Xiao family's Patriarch, Xiao Wansheng, kicked his subordinate and sent him flying, "What do you think? I made you responsible for keeping an eye on Mu Qidao, did you think you were the one to confirm the news? What's the use of spending so much money to raise you bunch of trash? Now that this has happened, everything has become passive! "
Xiao Wansheng paced back and forth: "When Mu Qidao went to the Heavenly Awakening Sect, what I wanted was the death of everyone in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, not him! He was a member of the Mu Clan, the legitimate king! If he dies in Heavenly Awakening Sect, those people who don't like me will immediately pounce on me. "
A strategist lowered his voice and said, "This matter... Actually, it wasn't that hard to escape. From the very beginning, this matter wasn't decided by you, Sir. It was decided by the Drizzle Court. Therefore, this matter had nothing to do with the imperial government from the very beginning, and had nothing to do with the lords themselves. It was just a matter of grudges between the martial arts world and the martial arts world. I remember that the Sixth Master of the Drizzle Court had the surname Gao. Whether he is a member of the Gao family or not, we can push him to the Drizzle Court.
Xiao Wansan stopped and said, "Just let it go like that?"
The advisor said, "Owner, we can't just let it go like this. The best opportunity has already been lost. If Mu Qidao chose to live and die with the Heavenly Awakening Sect, then even if An Zheng died, he would still die. There was no one in the Mu family, so who would be the king? Everyone is going to fight for it? When the time comes, we will have to fight until our heads are covered in blood. The losses are huge, I don't think this is what everyone wants. What everyone wants is a king that they can control … "Then we can all make money together."
He looked at the big shots sitting beside him: "My lords, without this king, the State of Yan will fall into chaos. At that time, even the Allied State of Zhao would send troops to snatch it away. Youguo, Overlord, Zhuang Guo, Yongguo, would their close neighbors give up such a great opportunity? With the strength of each family added together, it was more than enough to deal with a single Heavenly Awakening Sect, and more than enough to control a small one. "Think about it, what other benefits are there?"
Xiao Wansan said, "But because of the grudges between the martial arts world and the martial arts world, the people of Heavenly Awakening Sect may not believe it."
The advisor said, "Who asked them to believe that? The Heavenly Awakening Sect had suffered heavy losses this time, did they want to recover? Stop messing around, everyone can hold up a drizzle Court, can't you hold up some other gangs? Losing a Light Rain Tower was nothing, and Heavenly Awakening Sect's vitality was severely injured. So as long as Mu Qidao was alive, there were many opportunities to kill him. It's just another method … The imperial government stepped forward to suppress the Drizzle Court. Then, send someone to pacify An Zheng. As long as we meet, what's the point of killing him? "
Xiao Wansan nodded, "That makes sense... What do you all think? "
"What we want is not the destruction of the nation, but the prosperity of the family. "Therefore, we should push this matter to the Drizzle Court."
"The Fine Rain Tower is just a bunch of weeds in the Jianghu. It's nothing. "As long as we spread some of our benefits, the number of people who are willing to join our society will be as great as the number of crucian carp that have crossed the river."
"Let's do it like that. We can use the people we installed in the military." Let him represent the troops to pacify An Zheng. As long as we meet, An Zheng would be severely injured, and killing him would not be difficult. "
Xiao Wansan was silent for a while and then said, "Well then … This was indeed a bit too hasty. He never thought that the Heavenly Awakening Sect would be so hard to deal with, and that An Zheng was so hard to kill, and that his cultivation was actually high levelled. A ten year old child actually dared to kill two cultivators with Captive Stage … It was indeed out of his expectations. Everyone moved. Don't let the Drizzle Court people have the chance to say anything.
The group of people sitting there stood up and left.
Heavenly Awakening Sect.
At the door.
Mu Qidao helped An Zheng to sit down by the door. He stood beside An Zheng with the iron rod in his hand: "Big Sister Xiao Liu'er, come and treat Big Brother An Zheng's injuries. I want to kill you all, but first kill me. I want to see if they dare to make the State of Yan ownerless. "
He didn't know if the situation had gone beyond his expectations, so the assassins of the Drizzle Court started to retreat. Outside Heavenly Awakening Sect, corpses littered the ground, and even the streets were dyed red.
Qu Liuxi supported An Zheng and asked: "Where are the pills you brought?"
An Zheng grinned: "Finished … Otherwise, I won't be able to make it home. "
Qu Liuxi's eyes were red as she took out a pill and fed one to the little girl. But as the pill fell, An Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood and the pill was spat out. His hands were too heavy, and even if he consumed the medicinal pill, it would be difficult to treat him.
"I want to send him into the pill furnace."
Qu Liuxi carried An Zheng. Although she was not short, he looked small compared to An Zheng. She hugged An Zheng's neck with one hand and hooked onto An Zheng's leg with the other. But when An Zheng's arms and legs drooped down, he looked especially sad. Qu Liuxi turned around and ran inside with An Zheng. Mu Qidao threw the iron rod in his hand out, "Find a safe place."
After he finished speaking, Mu Qidao was standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, motionless, and as majestic as a mountain.
Not long after, a large number of soldiers rushed over from afar and protected Heavenly Awakening Sect. Wang Kaitai, who was training outside the city, brought along his cavalry to the city gates. If it weren't for the fact that those powerful figures behind the Rain Tower had temporarily changed their strategy, it would be difficult for him, the head of the military, to enter the city even if he wanted to. After what happened in the Empress Dowager Su, the distribution of authority in the capital was complicated. There were not many people in the military who knew everything about the army.
The original soldiers of
the military had suffered a great number of casualties. Even in the most important positions, the number of their own men was pitifully small. If the city guards did not open the city gates, Wang Kaitai would not be able to enter.
"Great King!"
Wang Kaitai brought his men over, and upon seeing Mu Qidao's bloodied body, he immediately knelt down: "This subject has arrived late to save Your Highness."
Mu Qidao instructed in a calm tone: "Since the opponent has retreated, then he probably has a different method. Mr. Gu had said that when the change occurred, both sides would be thrown into chaos, so it was a good opportunity. You don't have to stay here. It was clear who was on duty today, who was not on duty at the city gates, and who was the arrangement of the palace guards. Each one of them is found, catch one over here. All of them are brought outside the Heavenly Awakening Sect to kill in front of me. "
Wang Kaitai cupped his fists: "This subject will do it."
"Chen Zaiyan, go pass down the order, I will manage the affairs of the Heavenly Awakening Sect from today onwards. All reports were sent to the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and all court matters were discussed there. Mr. Gu … "Look at what I've left out, and tell them to do it."
"Your subject obeys the decree."
Chen Zaiyan and Gu Chaotong both turned and left, with hurried steps.
"Big Brother Lang Jing."
"I'm here."
"Since those people have stopped, it means that the Drizzle Court has been abandoned. I just thought of that, and it shouldn't be too late. After you catch up with Wang Kaitai, get his military talisman, gather all of the Thousand Revolution School Commanders, supervisors, and all of the men that can still move Heavenly Awakening Sect up to the Fine Rain Tower. Let the light cavalry clear the way, and tear down that building for me. Among the people in the Drizzle Court, one was considered one. "I don't think they'll mistakenly kill anyone. None of them are innocent."
