Chapter 431: Chapter 14 Resentnt and Letting Go
Heavenly Demon True Monarch suddenly opened his eyes, his spirit montarily listless, but he quickly recovered.
However, other five figures noticed even that brief mont of weakness.
“Heavenly Demon True Monarch, what happened? How did you get injured?”
Although not everyone had arrived today, the Heavenly Demon True Monarch was a top fighter; how could he be injured in that world they had sched against for thousands of years?
Kui Tian Monarch also looked towards Heavenly Demon True Monarch since he needed to maintain the passage and hadn’t seen anything.
“There was so unexpected trouble…” Heavenly Demon True Monarch’s complexion wasn’t good either, “The unexpectedly strong individual might be more powerful than both Zhong and Jiang Yun; with less than twenty percent of my strength, I couldn’t take him down.”
He wouldn’t talk carelessly; if an enemy was not an opponent, then they weren’t.
Accurate intelligence could make his plan more successful.
“You, Heavenly Demon True Monarch, are not a match for him…”
“It was just less than twenty percent of my strength.” Heavenly Demon True Monarch stressed, “But I suspect he was holding back. Even if I had sent three tis the strength, I might have still failed. There’s a real complication in the plan.”
The other five figures fell silent; they highly valued that world and had sched for so long just to avoid any complications, yet it still hadn’t been foolproof.
Of course, they quickly adjusted their mindset.
“Although it is beyond our expectations, there’s no need to be overly concerned. Heavenly Demon True Monarch, do you think he would be a match for you at your peak?”
“Impossible.” Heavenly Demon True Monarch denied imdiately, “At my peak, I could easily annihilate him.”
“That’s enough then, we still control the situation.” The speaker was an elderly figure that looked most like a human, marked by a fla symbol between his eyebrows.
“Divine Fire True Monarch is right, but now that this has happened, our original plan can no longer be used, which is regrettable.”
“No matter; we had prepared for this possibility. Jiang Yun was a temporary asure we conjured up on the fly, the most stable plan has long been underway.”
Everyone nodded in agreent; Jiang Yun’s failure was a pity but didn’t disappoint them too much.
“Now we must trouble Kui Tian Monarch, that person needs to be closely surveilled.”
“The place where that person is no longer has the Peeping Sky Eye; it might be difficult to get useful information.”
“No worries, do your best. Though he’s strong, he won’t surpass us in a short ti. As long as our plan is completed on schedule, we can suppress him with a flip of our hand.”
“Fifty years should be enough!”
…
The six conversed, unconcerned with minor setbacks as their plans had long been in motion and weren’t halted by a single failure of Jiang Yun.
After Heavenly Demon True Monarch left, Wang Sheng imdiately sensed the loss of the resistance against Chang Zai.
“It’s a pity, he got away, and that mysterious eye also disappeared, and—”
Wang Sheng dispelled the mountain that was suppressing Jiang Yun with a wave of his hand; it was no longer necessary.
Previously, unable to sense Jiang Yun’s spiritual body, he had assud it was because the self-titled Heavenly Demon True Monarch was suppressing him to the point of imperceptibility; now, it seed Jiang Yun had died the mont Heavenly Demon True Monarch had arrived.
The disappearance of the spiritual body ant the soul had dissipated.
“Heavenly Demon True Monarch… and that eye, indeed, my suspicions were correct, such a pity that Jiang Yun is dead. Otherwise, with my current Divine Thought, I should be able to perform mind control on him.”
With the clue from Jiang Yun gone, Wang Sheng returned to Zhong’s side.
The events seed lengthy, but they had happened in an instant; so brief that Zhong hadn’t even had ti to react, only understood that Wang Sheng was confronting so existence.
“Jiang Yun is dead; it seems he didn’t have any formidable tricks.” While the reality was different, there was no harm in his saying so.
The stronger Zhong’s emotional fluctuations, the easier he would be to control.
But reality differed from his expectations; Zhong not only did not get more agitated, but he also cald down.
He had faced the facts.
This person was far beyond him in strength, a Jiang Yun capable of defeating him was easily suppressed by him; he was powerless even to resist.
What suppressed him was rely a small mountain while he was burdened by an entire world.
“You must have broken through recently, right? If it weren’t for Jiang Yun, you might have already been taken down by .”
Zhong knew that soone like himself would be imdiately sought out as soon as a breakthrough occurred.
An appearance now suggested the breakthrough occurred no longer than three days ago.
Wang Sheng didn’t deny it; it was true.
“So it seems, a stroke of bad luck!”
Having said this, he grew despondent and fell silent.
“Should I address you as Zhong, or as an ancestor of the Spirit Clan?” Wang Sheng finally spoke, almost entirely certain but still seeking confirmation.
Zhong, even while suppressed, trembled, then said, “It’s all the sa. Zhong has always been my na; it never changed.”
His words affird Zhong’s identity.
Wang Sheng was finally able to ask what he had long wanted to know.
“I’ve learned from the Spirit Clan that you put in much effort to resist the First Dynasty. Why did you end up on the sa path? The Spirit Clan is faltering now; this isn’t what you wanted, is it?”
“Why follow the sa path…” Zhong’s emotions fluctuated strongly, filled with great despair and resentnt, “You of the Human Race ask why, should you not ask your own race instead! If not for the Human Race, why would we be on this path!”
“All of the Human Race should die! You included!”
Wang Sheng could distinctly feel a change in Zhong, in both his emotions and personality.
“Why did the Spirit Clan beco human, wasn’t it the doing of your Human Race? Perhaps the ergence of the Demon Clan is a punishnt for your Human Race!”
Wang Sheng didn’t speak nor did he beco angry about Zhong’s words.
He had no knowledge of events from thousands of years ago and wouldn’t comnt. Regardless of Zhong’s difficulties, he wasn’t about to leave him be.
“A punishnt for the Human Race, perhaps!”
Seeing Wang Sheng maintain his composure, Zhong too seed to find so peace.
“I foresaw everything, but I didn’t anticipate your ergence. Had I known, I would have dealt with you before this.”
“Before this, you might not have been my match.” Wang Sheng was stating a fact.
“…Perhaps…” Zhong didn’t contest it, “I underestimated you; to break through the Human Race’s limitations is certainly not simple.”
After those words, Zhong closed off again, seemingly unwilling to speak further.
Wang Sheng didn’t inquire further and pondered whether he could control Zhong’s spirit; this was the last one, and he couldn’t afford a careless death.
But before he found a way, he noticed Zhong seed conflicted, and then Zhong spoke again.
“If I could, I truly wouldn’t want to tell you these things. Do you know why Jiang Yun suddenly beca strong?”
“I understand, an outsider, perhaps one coveting our world.”
Zhong’s face turned blank, then he seed sowhat relieved.
“So you know, that’s good…”
