Chapter 705: Chapter 707: Talk Soone Into A Breakdown
It seed that Zhu Minglang was still sowhat worried, so Li Xinghua continued, “Even if Young Master is unwilling, I have already used it and obtained two complete journeys of foresight. We should concentrate on how to intercept the Sparrow Wolf God’s lantern gem.”
“Mm, don’t worry, I won’t let you sleep that long. Without you by my side, I’m still not quite used to it,” said Zhu Minglang.
Li Xinghua’s cheeks suddenly reddened, as if regaining so lost color, making her unusually attractive.
“Regarding the Sparrow Wolf God’s Absorption Technique, we could learn sothing more specific from Shang Zhuang, and see if there’s a way to suppress his ability,” Li Xinghua hastily changed the subject.
“Alright, then let’s do it one more ti while it’s still dark,” Zhu Minglang had already adjusted his state of mind.
“Mhm, I didn’t inform Young Master earlier because once certain things are known, they can inadvertently impact and change the future. To present the most complete and precise vision of tomorrow, Xinghua didn’t inform Young Master in advance, causing you unnecessary worry for so long…” explained Li Xinghua.
...
“So, does that an that even if I know many things, I can’t act recklessly in the foresight realm?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Correct. The foresight realm is real, not so dream world. Once Young Master does sothing that disrupts the trajectory, tomorrow’s vision will change completely, everything becos unknown again, and the foresight realm then becos aningless. This is our last chance. If we can’t deduce a thod to kill the Sparrow Wolf God, we’ll have to flee overnight,” said Li Xinghua.
Zhu Minglang understood what Li Xinghua ant. After all, the move to save Empress Zhu was risky and could change the outcos he had originally seen, which might also allow the Sparrow Wolf God to escape.
They were about to slay a god.
They absolutely could not allow the tiger to return to the mountain.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Zhu Minglang nodded.
This was the most powerful enemy he had encountered thus far, and it was critical for the survival of Supre Court. He needed to use all available strength and tread even more cautiously with every step.
Just as the Zhu Heavenly Officer had said, the world is unknown and dangerous. All of us are crossing the river by feeling for the stones, and many sacrifices are inevitable. But if they could be avoided, if more people could be saved, Zhu Minglang would do everything in his power to achieve that!
“Young Master, look into my eyes,” said Li Xinghua.
Zhu Minglang thought Li Xinghua wanted him to make a vow, but as he gazed into those eyes beautiful and charming like icy spring lakes, he felt his soul drawn to her, unconsciously forgetting his surroundings, where he was, and even the passage of ti…
…
The night was thick, and outside the courtyard, the bellflowers were wilted by the cold frost. Under the dim light of the cool night, the silhouettes of two figures sitting face to face were cast on the decorative window, resembling a tranquil painting, where ti also paused in that mont.
Zhu Minglang blinked his eyes.
He could move again.
It felt like a mont of distraction, yet it seed as long as an age.
This ti, Zhu Minglang entered the foresight realm fully conscious, sensing the slight differences.
Li Xinghua also opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, “This ti, let Young Master lead the way. Perhaps we can gain so life fate clues that we didn’t get last ti.”
Entering the foresight realm was actually to gain life fate clues, especially about the Sparrow Wolf God, so they could strangle him before he made his move!
So strength was not the key. Once the Sparrow Wolf God regained his divine power, all the forces of Supre Court combined would not be able to contend with him. They needed to outsmart him, to grasp these two “rebirths”!
“Alright, this ti we don’t need to go to North Utmost Ridge, we’ll take him along when the final battle arrives,” said Zhu Minglang.
Hong Geng was very strong; otherwise, with nobody restraining Zhao Yuan, he was an unstoppable force in the King-Level Realm, posing a great threat to Zhu Gate.
“Mhm, we can save so ti. His presence or absence will not affect the course of fate before the battle at dawn,” she replied.
“There’s no need to visit Elder Jing Lin either,” said Zhu Minglang.
“Then let’s go to Shang Zhuang. He must have many things he hasn’t told us. After all, he’s been chasing the murderer for so many years; he must understand the Sparrow Wolf God’s Absorption Technique,” Li Xinghua nodded.
Zhu Minglang had co to understand the rules of the foresight realm, a pure process of acquiring life fate clues. Any unnecessary part that didn’t influence the course of fate could be omitted.
…
They went to the dungeon, and as they passed by Zhao Ying’s cell, sure enough, he shouted angrily at them, “Zhu Minglang, Li Yunzi, you vile couple, release us quickly!”
Zhu Minglang slowed his steps slightly and glanced at Zhao Ying.
He rembered Zhao Ying saying two sentences last ti; though similar in aning, there were subtle discrepancies now.
Zhu Minglang paid him no heed and continued straight towards Shang Zhuang’s cell.
“I won’t have any conversation with you. Don’t treat as one who is afraid of death. Kill or maim as you wish!” Shang Zhuang maintained his cold deanor.
Yet Zhu Minglang smiled.
Shang Zhuang repeated the words he had said last ti, without missing a single word.
But with the vast information Zhu Minglang had already obtained, he could easily conquer the other’s stubbornness and disdain!
This ti, Li Xinghua chose to let Zhu Minglang interact with Shang Zhuang while she rely observed from the sidelines.
“Since you are not afraid of death, why did you hide under the statue back then?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“????” Shang Zhuang’s face underwent a very clear change, morphing from an indifferent and stubborn expression to one of shock and disbelief!
How could there possibly be a second person other than himself who knew about hiding under the statue!!
The murderer couldn’t possibly know either, otherwise, he would never have left Shang Zhuang alive!
“Of course, you could claim that you wanted to avenge all the clansn of the Shang Family Forest, but if I were to tell you that the Sparrow Wolf God is the main culprit behind the slaughter of your clansn, and that your clansn would rest uneasy in their graves knowing you are slaving away for their murderer,” Zhu Minglang continued to say.
“What utter nonsense are you spouting!” Shang Zhuang said angrily.
Zhu Minglang smiled and imdiately revealed the facts that resided deep within Shang Zhuang’s heart—facts that he had already begun to doubt—and, with lightning speed, tore through his inner defenses, leaving him utterly confounded and questioning life itself.
In the end, Shang Zhuang covered his face and wept. Realizing he had been serving the very archenemy who had annihilated his clan, his cold stubbornness was completely gone, and he nearly collapsed entirely!
When Li Xinghua spoke of those matters to Shang Zhuang, Zhu Minglang beca clear about one thing.
Deep in his heart, Shang Zhuang had indeed harbored doubts about the Sparrow Wolf God, but he just didn’t want to accept it.
When soone pointed it out and inford him of the fact, he could no longer resist the truth!
“The reason why he descended to the Supre Court Courtyard Continent ahead of ti, was to turn it into another Shang Family Forest. If you don’t want to be an accomplice, tell us as much as you can about the details of his Absorption Technique. With your many years of investigation, you must have so leads,” Zhu Minglang said.
Shang Zhuang wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, looking no different than a child battered by the harsh realities of life.
“Even Shang Hanxu didn’t know about this. When I was investigating the origin of the Absorption Technique, I once encountered an Evil Loose Immortal covered in poisonous boils, with all the blood in his veins dried up, turned into red sand,” Shang Zhuang narrated slowly.
Blood-colored sand!!
Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua exchanged glances.
It was one of the divine skills cast by the Sparrow Wolf God. This ant that Shang Zhuang hadn’t told everything about the Sparrow Wolf God last ti—he still had such crucial clues of fate!
“Continue speaking,” Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua urged, their expressions now a few degrees more serious.
“It was from that mont that I began to have so doubts…” Shang Zhuang revealed his true inner thoughts.
Shang Zhuang had already started to doubt the Sparrow Wolf God.
The Evil Loose Immortal held the sa Absorption Technique as the Sparrow Wolf God, but the reason he t that fate was because he never could bring himself to harm his own birth daughter.
This Absorption Technique ca with a terrifying backlash. Despite the fact that it could significantly increase one’s cultivation base in a very short period, after each use, the user’s blood would dry up a bit more, until it turned into solidified blood sand, with the body thoroughly decaying and covered in blood poison sores.
The only way to solve the sandification of the blood was to consu the blood of soone related by blood.
“That’s why the Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God is in severe decline. The Sparrow Wolf God has already killed off most of the God’s people and God’s descendants who are blood-related to him, and the few that are left can no longer alleviate the increasingly severe sandification of his blood,” Zhu Minglang suddenly understood.
The Origin Blood was not only a major boost to the Sparrow Wolf God’s cultivation base, it was also his life-saving dicine.
The Sparrow Wolf God was already gravely ill. As ti passed, his blood would beco more and more like sand, and even if he exterminated everyone in the Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God, he was rely clinging to life.
Thus, he had to descend to the Supre Court Courtyard Continent, and he had to find the divine blood of the remains of the previous Sparrow Wolf God!
In other words, if the Sparrow Wolf God didn’t get the Jade Blood Sword when showing his divine might tomorrow, slaughtering the entire Imperial City, his life would soon co to an end!
He had to take down Zhu Gate, he had to obtain the Jade Blood Sword.
This was a very important clue of fate, aning that no matter what unexpected events occurred tomorrow, the Sparrow Wolf God would make an appearance, and he would be relentless in his actions towards Zhu Gate, which possessed the Jade Blood Sword!
It turned out that beneath his appearance of a world-destroying Demon God, demonstrating his divine might, he was nothing but an empty shell, already rotten to the core.
“The Sparrow Wolf God must have suffered another backlash recently, which caused serious sandification of his blood, making him very restless and anxious. That’s why he made an unconventional appearance in the Ancestral Dragon City-State, which also indicates a great anxiety in his heart, and his eagerness to advance the plan of consuming the entire Supre Court,” Li Xinghua said.
“Yeah, I don’t think he simply wants to devour Zhu Gate and the Royal Family. He seems eager to bring together all the powers of Supre Court, and then in one fell swoop, turn them into his nourishnt,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreent.
“Perhaps his target isn’t the Ancestral Dragon City-State after all. He actually wants to feed on the blood of blood-related clansn like Shang Hanxu and . That Evil Loose Immortal had told that such a craving is like the thirst of a person close to dying of dehydration, a craving that can drive one mad. But when he saw that Ancestral Dragon City was a Divine City, he suppressed that craving, planning to let us conquer Ancestral Dragon City and clean it up before eating us all, extracting our last bit of value,” Shang Zhuang said suddenly.
