Chapter 392 - The Murderous Weapon over Tiannan
Chapter 392 The Murderous Weapon over Tiannan
It was rainy in Youzhou.
It was also rainy in Shengzhou.
The scattered rain continued to spread over Shengzhou City, sprinkled the whole city, and covered Mount Dibing.
It wiped away the dust on the mountain. The sacred mountain in the rain was extremely verdant and bright.
Wang Yuetong stood at the window and looked out.
Her palace was very high. She stood in front of the window. All she saw were the great halls on Mount Dibing, with fresh flowers, green trees, and green grass spread among them. From her viewpoint, more than half of the flowers, grass, and trees were swaying in the wind and rain. The rock-like palace was located here. Everything was very clear and layered.
Wang Yuetong watched the rain falling in the sky.
It turned out that when one was situated up high, one could feel that even the hastily falling rain had a different style.
Wang Yuetong watched it for a long time.
She suddenly felt that everything was so strange.
The unfamiliar Mount Dibing, and unfamiliar herself.
This feeling was not joy or disgust, but just pure strangeness, as if there was no such desolation as a shelter.
The rain floated quietly.
Several sculpture-like figures below the palace stood motionlessly in the rain.
This was the fifth day of Wang Yuetong’s house arrest.
Her mobile phone was confiscated and the network was cut off. She lost all contact with the outside world. Besides, there was a small group of Heaven Punishment Troop outside the palace guarding around.
In fact, this group of Heaven Punishment Troop had an average strength above the Peak of the Fire-flaming Realm. If anyone of them stood downstairs, Wang Yuetong had no possibility of leaving. Wang Tianzong put a group here, which showed his determined attitude.
It was August 1st.
It was already the second day of the final maneuver.
Wang Yuetong stared down at the figures standing like sculptures downstairs.
In an environment where she could not maintain any contact with the outside world, Wang Yuetong did not even know the result of the maneuver.
All she knew was what her father had said when he had imprisoned her.
When the final maneuver ended, he would let her leave if Li Tianlan did not die.
It was already afternoon.
It was close to the evening.
Wang Yuetong was motionless, and the radiant luster in her eyes gradually dimmed as the time passed by.
It eventually became cold and desperate.
A slender figure crossed the rain curtain with an umbrella, and finally came to Wang Yuetong’s palace.
His face was pale and the whole man was filled with exhaustion and weakness. But in his condition of having a serious injury, he was still able to stand.
Wang Yuetong’s dim eyes were full of complexity.
There were joys and sorrows, and extreme contradiction. But in the end, all became emptiness and coldness.
The coldness of midsummer seemed to sweep the world.
Her body was shaking gently.
Wang Shengxiao was standing downstairs.
Her brother was seriously injured.
Was her man still alive?
Wang Yuetong did not dare to think about it. Her entire heart seemed completely empty, leaving nothing but numbness and silence.
The brother and sister looked at each other quietly through the rain.
The heavy rain hit the scarlet windows in the palace.
Wang Yuetong stood at the window, whose figure was extremely clear.
Her breath was constantly flowing on her body. The chill in front of the palace continued to increase. The rain falling on the ground gradually became frozen and ice frost slowly appeared among the flowers in the bushes.
Wang Yuetong was still in the constant ups and downs of the Martial Arts of the Ice-condensing Realm. She stood silently, unconsciously, and she was not angry.
Wang Shengxiao suddenly thought of certain lyrics.
The rain bounced gently onto the vermilion window. Who was in the attic, with cold despair…
The corner of his mouth was gently raised, revealing a trace of clear self-mockery.
The moment the Heaven Punishment Troop below the palace looked at Wang Shengxiao, they all bowed simultaneously.
Wang Shengxiao waved his hand and whispered softly, “Your mission is complete. Go back. I’ll talk to Yuetong.”
The group of Heaven Punishment Troop left quietly.
Wang Shengxiao slowly walked into the palace and went upstairs.
In the small hall on the second floor, Wang Yuetong was still facing away from him, motionless.
Wang Shengxiao held the delicate food container in his hand and said softly, “I’ve brought you your favorite Xiaolongbao, won’t you try some?”
Wang Yuetong did not speak or move.
“Father is back. The Heaven Punishment Troop has completed its mission. From today on, you are free,” Wang Shengxiao continued.
Wang Yuetong turned her head, leaving blankness in her eyes.
Wang Shengxiao put the food box on the table with a bitter smile. He remained silent for a long time before continuing to say, “I lost.”
“Gu Hanshan, Jiang Shangyu, and Song Ci, the four of us, together with hundreds of elites, lost without the slightest face. Li Tianlan broke our strongest blow with just one sword.”
Wang Shengxiao quietly talked about his failure and his eyes were equally dim. But there was a very persistent glimmer in his dim eyes.
A glow also appeared in Wang Yuetong’s eyes.
“How is your injury?” she was silent for a while and asked softly while looking at Wang Shengxiao.
“It’s not bad.”
Wang Shengxiao said calmly, “It’s just that my realm has retrogressed a lot. It’s just a matter of time. As long as I have time, I can always catch up again.”
Before the maneuver, he was in the real peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. But he was seriously injured because he forcibly practiced the Half Samsara of the Wang family of Beihai. At the beginning of the maneuver, his realm was already unstable. Li Tianlan’s strength made him determined to attack with a strike even though the realm would fall. He did not fall from the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm to the stabilization phase of the Thunder-shocking Realm, but directly to the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm. However, even with paying such a huge price, he still lost to Li Tianlan. This maneuver was quite tragic for Wang Shengxiao indeed.
“How about Tianlan?”
Wang Yuetong’s voice was slight.
Wang Shengxiao looked over.
Wang Yuetong turned her head.
She also knew that it was not appropriate to ask Wang Shengxiao this question. But she lost all contact with the outside world. She really wanted to know how Li Tianlan was.
“Li Tianlan is fine. He got minor injuries at most.”
Wang Shengxiao calmly said, “After the maneuver, he stepped up into the sky. At the high-level meeting that has just concluded, the high-levels decided to restart the Snowdance Corps of Zhongzhou State. Li Tianlan is the Second Marshal of the Special Warfare System after Gu Qianchuan. Brother Jiang replaced Dongcheng as the part-time leader and the Commander of the Border Control Corps.”
The light in Wang Yuetong’s eyes lit up gradually.
“He’s alive,” Wang Yuetong said.
She did not care about Li Tianlan’s current status. The head Commander of the Snowdance Corps and the special war marshal—this identity was just a very vague concept in her mind. It might not be low, but she did not feel it to be very high. The elders around her were all in high positions. It was just a job title and was really difficult to cause shock to Wang Yuetong.
What she cared about was that Li Tianlan won the maneuver and her father did not hurt him.
He was still alive.
“Alive.”
Wang Shengxiao nodded.
“So… can I leave?” Wang Yuetong asked.
“Yes.”
Wang Shengxiao sighed softly. He hesitated and took out two bank cards from his pocket. “My father asked me to give the black card to you. The gold card is my own. If you insist on leaving, take the cards with you. Li Tianlan is destined to be the enemy of the Wang family of Beihai in the future. You come from the Wang family of Beihai and may not have an easy life. If you can be independent, you will not have to suffer too much in the future.”
Wang Yuetong looked at the two cards on the table.
The golden card was the brother’s spoiling of his sister.
And that black card was undoubtedly the father’s love for his daughter.
Wang Yuetong softly laughed suddenly.
She reached out and took another card out of her pocket and put it on the table.
Wang Shengxiao frowned.
“He’s my man and he should support me.”
Wang Yuetong calmly said, “If I bring the money of the Wang family of Beihai down the mountain, I will definitely give it to Tianlan. If he is uncomfortable, you will not be comfortable. In this case, it is better not to bring them. The Wang family of Beihai and East Emperor Palace had better have a clear boundary in their relationship. It is best not to have so much entanglement.”
“A clear boundary?”
Wang Shengxiao suddenly raised his eyebrows. “Yuetong, you can’t wait to draw a line with your family?”
“It’s not drawing boundaries.”
Wang Yuetong whispered softly, “This is just my choice. Brother, our family is too big. I didn’t feel anything before, but I suddenly discovered recently that everyone in this family has a role. I can’t find my own place. I should not continue to be willful. For this mountain, I will not be back until I have my position.”
“What position do you want?” Wang Shengxiao said coldly.
“The hostess of East Emperor Palace, the daughter of the Wang family of Beihai, and the friend of the Wang family of Beihai.”
Wang Yuetong looked at Wang Shengxiao and said in a soft and firm voice, “This is the best position for me.”
Wang Shengxiao looked up at his sister.
“How can it be?”
It took a long time for him to ask in return.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Wang Yuetong smiled lightly. “Brother, what are you going to do?”
Wang Shengxiao could not get back a bit. He was still worried about his sister’s future in the first second, but his sister was already worried about his future in the next second.
“I’m going…”
He hesitated, shook his head, and calmly said, “I won’t leave Beihai for the time being. I am here to heal my wounds. When the injuries recover, I will stay at home and study Martial Arts.”
Wang Yuetong was silent.
It took a long time before she whispered, “I’m leaving.”
“Walk with me again.”
Wang Shengxiao sighed softly.
He went to the window and looked outside. His eyes were filled with affection. “Take a look at Mount Dibing.”
In his long life in the future, he was destined to have only Martial Arts.
For a long time in the future, she was destined to have only that man.
He would be silent.
She would travel far.
Both were leaving.
As people of the Wang family of Beihai, how could not they look at the magnificent mountains and rivers between the Firmament and the sea before leaving?
…
Wang Tianzong did not see his daughter.
Since he could not keep her, seeing her or not seeing her did not have much significance.
He walked quietly on the path of Mount Dibing, aimlessly. He seemed to be thinking.
After the completion of the Youzhou title-giving ceremony, Dijiang was already in a military uniform. The marshal’s rank flashed with brilliance and prestige.
He followed quietly behind Wang Tianzong, and bit his lips.
“What do you want to say?” Wang Tianzong asked suddenly.
“I’m a little bit confused, and I hope Master can give me directions. How should we deal with the Border Control Corps?”
Dijiang laughed softly and said calmly, “Black Dragon Battalion will not be a very big problem. After Qian Zhong comes over, he should be able to quickly open up the situation. Dongcheng Wudi will soon hand over Thunderbolt Battalion. This is a unit directly under you. You can choose people from the Beihai Corps for it. Put aside Wild Sand Battalion and Pegasus Battalion first. At present, the most important is Blood Battalion. They are close to Tiannan and their position is sensitive. If you can control Blood Battalion, it will be very beneficial for us to open the situation in Tiannan.”
“Tiannan is indeed very important, and the Dongcheng Clan is also aware of this. Some time ago, Wang Wantian was transferred to the Eastern Theater of Operations. Dongcheng Wudi put Thunder God in Blood Battalion. They obviously do not want to give up their right to speak in Blood Battalion,” Dijiang said subconsciously.
Wang Tianzong’s body suddenly stopped in place.
“What did you say?” he asked suddenly.
Dijiang was somewhat at a loss. “I said that the Dongcheng Clan will not give up Blood Battalion easily.”
This was not what Wang Tianzong wanted to hear.
But all the veins in his mind suddenly became extremely clear.
Dongcheng Clan, Li Tianlan, the Li family, Ning Zhiyuan, the Tiannan Freedom Corps, Purgatory of Heaven Capital…
They had been displayed before him, but now developed into a line in front of him without warning.
Wang Tianzong narrowed his eyes tightly and his eyes flashed suddenly with sharpness.
He finally knew what he had overlooked.
After the situation in Tiannan was figured out, everything was clear.
But a result of the joint operation of all the major forces made everything there shrouded in mist.
The most important thing was that Wang Tianzong had previously underestimated how much the Dongcheng Clan cared about Li Tianlan.
When the Dongcheng Clan would rather risk everything and stand in front of Li Tianlan to protect him from the wind and rain, he should realize what Tiannan meant to Li Tianlan.
During this time, he was all focused on the Border Control Corps, the Eastern European chaos, and the Li family. So, intentionally or unintentionally, he had ignored the situation formed in Tiannan under the operation of multiple forces.
Blood Battalion.
Freedom Battalion.
Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
Even the Southwest Special Warfare Headquarters, which was dominated by Mount Shu.
They seemed disconnected today.
But if one added Li Tianlan to all of this, they even formed a whole body!
Blood Battalion was operated by the Giant Group.
The Southwest Special Warfare Headquarters was formed by the Prince Group.
Freedom Battalion…
Ning Zhiyuan’s transfer was actually an internal transfer of the Wang family of Beihai.
Wang Tianzong had never paid attention to such an obvious situation before them.
How ridiculous!
Li Tianlan had now won first place in the maneuver.
When East Emperor Palace entered Tiannan with free forces, the chain reaction caused was simply upside down.
In the seemingly unconnected but extremely delicate situation in Tiannan, all they needed was Li Tianlan.
How could the Dongcheng Clan not give up Blood Battalion?
They just did not want to give up Tiannan!
Wang Tianzong was silent for a long time.
“Have Chen Qingluan enter the Snowdance Corps as the second commander,” Wang Tianzong said suddenly.
“Chen Qingluan?”
Dijiang frowned.
Chen Qingluan was one of several female masters in the Wang family of Beihai, one of the second commanders of the Beihai Corps. But the most critical one was that she had been regarded as Wang Qinglei’s direct line of descent among the factions of the Wang family of Beihai.
“Why her?” Dijiang asked.
Wang Tianzong remembered the situation that Wang Qinglei first recommended Ning Zhiyuan as the head Commander of the Tiannan Freedom Corps.
If one wanted to banish Ning Zhiyuan and kick him out of the core layer of the Southeast Group, it was indeed the best choice to have Ning Zhiyuan go to Tiannan.
Even now it looked fine.
But the problem clearly existed.
Wang Tianzong did not confirm if Wang Qinglei originally had other purposes.
“Send a deputy to Chen Qingluan.”
Wang Tianzong said, “You specify this deputy.”
Dijiang nodded, but was still a little puzzled. “Why her?”
“Why can’t it be her?” Wang Tianzong asked in a calm tone.
Dijiang hesitated and was thoughtful.
Wang Tianzong stretched out his hand.
A gleam of clear light gradually appeared on his palm.
The light lingered and extended in his cuffs, silent.
The soft light covered his palm, and finally turned into a glove.
It was a glove, crystal clear and almost completely transparent.
Wang Tianzong took off his glove and handed it to Dijiang. “In case of accidents, during this time, you will go to Blood Battalion for inspection.”
Li Tianlan could not go to Tiannan now.
Everything in Tiannan was not completely finalized.
If given the opportunity, he might be able to break the situation today.
“This…”
Dijiang took the glove and was stunned.
He knew exactly what the glove was.
This was what Wang Tianzong borrowed from the Throne of Shadows in Europe. It only arrived at Mount Dibing in the middle of last night.
Wang Tianzong’s original intention was not for him, but for the Tyrant!
“The Tyrant…” Dijiang said in hesitation.
“The Tyrant is not found yet.”
Wang Tianzong said, “Before that, take it with you and control Tiannan!”
Dijiang held the glove, and suddenly felt that the thin glove was as heavy as a mountain.
Who could think of the small and exquisite glove as one of 12 Murderous Weapons second to the Human Emperor in the Dark World?
The murderous weapon was over Tiannan.
Each of the 12 Murderous Weapons had a different ranking in people’s hearts.
But the top three of the 12 Murderous Weapons that were the most powerful and deterrent were recognized.
No. 1—the Human Emperor.
No. 3—Blue Sky Underworld.
And the one in between the two was the glove in the hands of Dijiang.
Under the Throne of Shadows, it was a murderous weapon with the fastest speed and the strongest penetration among the 12 Murderous Weapons.
Indefinite shock!
