Chapter 1239 - 1129: Causality as the Furnace_2
“This is… Kunpeng…”
“No… We are the descendants of the Water Emperor, unrelated to Kunpeng…”
“Venerable Servant, we are loyal to the Water Emperor, who once granted our tribe rebirth… please spare us…”
Many people were pleading.
To this day, they still believed themselves… to be the descendants of the Water Emperor.
“Venerable Servant, even if Shui Qingling betrayed the Imperial Court, our tribe does not deserve death… I refuse to accept this!”
Their chieftain, Shui Guiyuan, cried out even louder!
However, Shui Kuangwen sneered:
“A bunch of lowlifes, still oblivious of the truth!”
“You have never been a part of the Waterway Imperial Court; you are just livestock raised by our Waterway Imperial Court!”
“Listen well, all of you are merely Kunpeng’s Descendants, for countless years, we’ve let you live within the Waterway Imperial Court simply for the sake of your bones…”
“Now, you can offer the last value to the Imperial Court—”
His indifferent words, however, caused Shui Guiyuan and others to freeze instantly.
“What… We are Kunpeng’s Descendants?”
“No… All these years, have we all been deceived?”
“The Kunpeng Method of the Waterway Imperial Court, was it extracted from the bones of our ancestors… Are we just livestock to the Water Emperor?!”
At that moment, many people’s beliefs collapsed!
From the moment they were born, they had been instilled with various ideas, convincing them that they were the descendants protected by the Water Emperor.
But now, the cruel truth…
“So that’s how it is… No wonder the strong ones born in our tribe always ended up without a trace and mysteriously disappeared…”
Shui Guiyuan, with his old body trembling, said:
“So, it was you who devoured us… you demons… you beasts!”
He cursed bitterly, his old eyes bloodshot with towering hatred!
“Livestock should have the consciousness of being livestock!”
With a smile, Shui Kuangwen gestured with a wave of his hand:
“The Sky Ritual can begin, cast these lowlifes into the Causal Furnace, burn their souls and blood, and find the bloodline of Kunpeng in this era!”
Immediately, elder Shui Deheng and others, with people in tow, were about to throw them into the Causal Furnace.
“Prepare to act!”
In the forefront, the Great Peng King’s expression turned cold, he swiftly charged towards Shui Deheng, his speed tremendous, revealing the shadow of the Great Peng.
“Dare you?!”
Shui Deheng was startled, hastily making a move. His Realm had long reached the “Di Dong” Realm, worthy of being called an Earth King. At that moment, Path-Scenic Land emerged between him and the Great Peng King, suddenly revealing various terrifying phenomena!
There were insurmountable abysses, miles-long fissures in the earth, and endless mountain peaks… This was the terrifying aspect of the Earth King Realm, capable of creating vast distances in an instant.
But before Shui Deheng could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt his head sink sharply!
He instinctively looked back only to see an old Tortoise suddenly standing upright, throwing a punch that landed heavily on his face!
How could this Tortoise be so fast? Shui Deheng was astonished.
“Bang bang bang!”
The Tortoise’s punches were incredibly fast, hitting his Spirit Platform repeatedly, making it impossible for him to sustain his Path-Scenic Land, which promptly faded away.
Meanwhile, the Great Peng King had already reached Shui Guiyuan and the others. With a wave of his hand, Shui Guiyuan and his fellow tribespeople vanished from where they stood, reappearing in front of the Golden Peng King and others far behind.
“We’ll hold them off, take Kunpeng’s Descendants and go!”
The Great Peng King shouted!
By this time, the old Tortoise had already knocked Shui Deheng unconscious and turned around to look at the giant ship sailing out from the Waterway Imperial Court.
On the ship, the Water Emperor’s Venerable Servant Shui Kuangwen was just watching indifferently.
“It seems you have lived long enough.”
He spoke calmly.
“I’ve lived for 170,000 years, longer than your grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather, of course I’ve lived enough.”
Gui Manman smiled freely, his demeanor showing a courage that accepted death as it came.
The Great Peng King, however, was brimming with the intent to fight, staring at Shui Kuangwen!
At that moment, the Sky Carving King, the Jiaolong King, and the Kun Crocodile King unexpectedly joined their side, standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
But Shui Kuangwen simply said indifferently:
“Pity, you can’t save them.”
His gaze swept across, and he said:
“You may now display your loyalty to the Waterway Imperial Court.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Boom!
The aura around Gui Manman and Peng Tianzhong became wildly turbulent. The three monarchs, the Sky Carving King, the Jiaolong King, and the Kun Crocodile King, suddenly struck, hammering them fiercely.
The Great Peng King and the Camel Tortoise King were directly blasted away, coughing up blood on the spot!
They crashed heavily in front of the Causal Furnace. When they looked up, both had expressions of disbelief, and said:
“You… traitors?!”
The Kun Crocodile King sneered:
“Traitors? We’ve been with the Imperial Court from the very beginning!”
The Sky Carving King said coldly:
“We serve the Water Emperor!”
The Jiaolong King patted his hands and said, “Only the wise recognize the signs of the times. You two insisted on courting death; you can’t blame us.”
Their expressions were ice-cold.
Witnessing this, the Great Peng King and Camel Tortoise King’s faces turned incredibly ugly.
They shifted their gaze to the Golden Peng King.
At this moment, all of Kunpeng’s Descendants like Shui Guiyuan were by the side of the Golden Peng King…
He possessed half of a Kunpeng feather, the last hope for the descendants to flee…
“Second Brother…”
The Great Peng King unconsciously began to speak, his voice trembling slightly.
But the Golden Peng King was silent for a moment, and ultimately he sighed, took out the Kunpeng feather, and while looking at it, said:
“A fine item… It’s a pity that it is only half a true feather of Kunpeng, not the resurrection of Kunpeng itself…”
As he said this, he knelt down directly towards the Venerable Servant of the Water Emperor, Shui Kuangwen, on the giant ship.
“The Great Peng King and Camel Tortoise King have defied the Water Emperor, they must be executed!”
“Golden Peng, willing to put justice above family loyalties!”
He offered up that half piece of the Kunpeng’s feather!
Seeing this, Peng Tianzhong and Gui Manman’s faces were completely filled with despair.
It’s over…
Death, they were not afraid of, as from the very beginning, they were already prepared for it.
But now, not a single one of Kunpeng’s Descendants could be saved!
“We are willing to become Citizens of the Water Emperor and serve the Water Emperor!”
“We are willing to become Citizens of the Water Emperor and serve the Water Emperor!”
The Sky Carving King, Kun Crocodile King, and Jiaolong King, the three Kings, they too, kneeled down instantaneously, their faces filled with respect and piety.
And Shui Kuangwen gave a faint smile and said:
“Very well.”
With a wave of his hand, the half piece of the true feather of Kunpeng in the Golden Peng King’s hand already reached his.
“The Causal Furnace can be activated now.”
He spoke softly.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A loud tremor rang out, when suddenly, the Causal Furnace in the Sky Vault dramatically inverted its mouth downwards, aiming terrifyingly directly at everyone!
“Venerable Sir, we… we haven’t boarded the ship yet!”
Seeing this, the faces of the Sky Carving King and the others drastically changed; the Causal Furnace encompassed even them. If they did not board the ship to avoid it, they too would die!
“Board the ship?”
Shui Kuangwen played with the true feather of Kunpeng in his hand, and laughingly said:
“You should be taking the Ascendant Path.”
“You too have been once under the protection of Kunpeng as members of the Ancient Clan… Perhaps there’s some karma? Become fuel for the Causal Furnace together, the Waterway Imperial Court will remember you.”
Hearing this, the Sky Carving King and the others were stunned!
This means…
From the very beginning, the Waterway Imperial Court planned… to incinerate them all with the Causal Furnace!
It doesn’t matter who…
Everyone who came here would become fuel for the Causal Furnace…
They thought that after their betrayal, they could join the Waterway Imperial Court and have a brighter future…
But little did they know, in the eyes of the Waterway Imperial Court, they…
Were utterly worthless!
Merely consumables, fuel, that’s all!
…
At this moment.
“Lucky I ran fast!”
Ao Wushuang, upon a certain river surface, stood on two giant wheels formed by black whirlwinds, and could not help but pat his chest!
Indeed, it proved once again… where there is a small mountain village, there is danger!
What Imperial Court… utterly insignificant, can’t suppress the Xiemeng of the small village.
Now it seems, that area behind him, who knows what kind of disaster had occurred…
“The Water Emperor’s waist is not a waist, the curved saber of Death’s Third Son; the Water Emperor’s legs are not legs, spring water by the shore of Kunlong Lake… Ah, let it be, let it be, there’s no need to watch such an enchanting dance!”
Ao Wushuang let out a sigh, the dance was beautiful, but after all, the small village was there…
He planned to flee to other continents.
But, just at this moment.
Suddenly, a terrifying black aura swept towards him from the skies, that black breath forming a dark path.
On that dark path, a sturdy man with defiant eyes, carrying a black coffin on his back, approached.
Seeing this, Ao Wushuang was dumbfounded. What is this ghost situation… Just after avoiding the small village, and now, he had encountered darkness?
He subconsciously turned to leave.
But when he turned around, he discovered that the man carrying the coffin had already appeared before him; he nearly collided with the other!
“Are you here to collect?”
The man looked at Ao Wushuang with a somewhat puzzled question!

Goodnight, this is the chapter for today!
