Chapter 634: Chapter 614: Jade King
"At this point, I suddenly realized and finally understood the conversation between the monarch and the strategist."
"The fundantal justice of the law, even if it’s not absolute justice, is the foundation of a nation. If this foundation is shaken, the citizens will inevitably lose trust in those in power, and the entire nation will beco incapable of battle."
"When certain individuals no longer maintain our justice, we have no choice but to take up arms and defend ourselves."
"When certain people shirk their responsibilities and let themselves be responsible for themselves, it also ans they’ve given up the legitimacy of their power."
"Moreover, it ans that inevitably new people will choose to take on responsibility and thereby acquire power."
"Just like those who opened up the heavens and earth."
"I know so people take pleasure in others’ misfortune, thinking it’s none of their business, but when this injustice expands, everyone will be indiscriminately drawn into it, as has been repeated throughout history."
"No one can escape, regardless of age or gender."
"I still believe in the collective, still believe in Martial Mansion, but I can no longer trust the vast majority of people within it."
"However, I suddenly discovered that there seems to be a group, at least at this stage, worth trusting."
"Huang ng Sect."
After Lv Yuanhao finished speaking, he picked up a sharp knife, dipped it in blood, and was about to write on the wall when the living room door clicked open.
At the sa ti, a voice ca through: "Mom, I’m back, released from dical care, those people are all helping , all of them are from the Demon Worship Sect. Haha, what can anyone do to ..."
In the video, Lv Yuanhao was montarily stunned, then his face showed an indescribable expression.
Like joy, like sorrow, like pain, like hatred, like helplessness.
He stood up, took a step forward, and dashed out of the cara’s range.
"Ah... I was wrong, I’m guilty, I’ll never dare again..." That person suddenly confessed amidst screams as if they were particularly aware of their wrongdoings.
Lv Yuanhao reappeared on cara, grabbing soone’s hair and pressing them against the coffee table in front of the sofa, like a butcher pinning a live pig to the chopping block.
"Tell , who else is from the Demon Worship Sect, and I’ll let you go."
That person struggled desperately, their mouth sealed by an invisible force, mumbling but unable to speak.
She had signed a Demon contract, unable to disclose any information.
Lv Yuanhao did not ask again.
Because everyone knew the answer.
Lv Yuanhao looked at that twisted face, raised the sharp knife, and stabbed down multiple tis.
Thud, thud, thud...
Amidst the screams.
When the screams stopped, Lv Yuanhao chopped down with the knife.
Two heads were placed side by side.
He dipped the knife in blood, stepped on the sofa, and wrote three bloody words on the white wall.
Huang ng Sect.
Lv Yuanhao turned around, grabbed the two heads by their hair, wiped the blade, and put it away.
He took a step, stopped, turned, and looked at the cara.
"If possible, help
buy a cake, freshly baked, white and fragrant, and eat it for , don’t let it go to waste."
After speaking, Lv Yuanhao’s figure approached the cara, and the video cut off.
Feng Wenhao continued to reply below.
"That was explosive!"
"Lv Yuanhao is aweso, truly the senior disciple at He Yin Martial Arts Academy back in the day!"
"These days, cakes across the country have sold out, and the bakery staff are so busy it’s like smoke’s coming out, just like the burger places back then."
"Haha, deleting the video is useless, everyone knows about it."
"By the way, I saw a survey screenshot, it cracked
up, I’ll send it to you."
Attached was a screenshot.
The screenshot showed two different online voting surveys.
The title of the first survey was, regarding the defars versus Zhou Leng, please choose whether you support the defars or Zhou Leng.
Below appeared the survey data bars, with 17.2% supporting the defars and 82.8% supporting Zhou Leng,
The title of the second survey was, concerning the defars versus the Zhao Family, assuming the defars slandered the Zhao Family, who do you support?
Among tens of thousands of votes, 97.3% supported the defars, while only 2.7% supported the Zhao Family.
At the bottom of the screenshot, a sentence was emblazoned.
"The vast majority of people know where the evil originates."
Zhou Leng was silent for a long ti, using the mind-controlled mouse, clicked on the second survey in the screenshot.
Even though it was just a screenshot.
Zhou Leng sent a ssage to Xu Qingjin.
"I’m coming back today, order a cake, it should be freshly baked, white and fragrant."
"Alright!"
Zhou Leng went to check the ssages in the Celestial Tier Battlefield group.
Several groups had been banned.
In those that weren’t banned, countless people sent birthday cake images.
"Cake King is aweso!"
"The Cake King is unbeatable!"
"Everyone who has co from the Celestial Tier Battlefield is admirable!"
Zhou Leng, well-versed in the workings of the internet, could tell at a glance that Lv Yuanhao had been flagged as a forbidden keyword. Private ssages could ntion him but would be monitored, while group chats and public networks had completely blocked his na.
He went to forums like Martial Arts and found that indeed, searches for Lv Yuanhao and related terms all showed as nonexistent.
Searching for "cake," he found a question: "Can cakes these days still be eaten?"
The responses were filled with jokes about the Demon Purgatory.
"The Patrol catches a mber of the Demon Worship Sect. A kind-hearted inspector says that a criminal record would affect the mber’s application to the Martial Mansion, so he is released. The mber shouts, ’Long live humanity!’ and studies hard, successfully entering the Judicial Departnt of the Martial Mansion, becoming a model of law on the newspapers. Later, the inspector’s son is falsely accused, and the Demon Worship Sect mber in charge of the Judicial Departnt sentences him harshly. The inspector tries to report the mber and is wiped out by the Demon Worship Sect that sa day."
"High-Level Civilizations’ Divine Spirits descend, capturing a giant insect child, a beastman child, a demon child, and a Blue Star person child, asking them to discuss the societal harm of fabricating evidence to disrupt justice. The giant insect child doesn’t understand what fabrication is, the beastman child doesn’t understand what laws are, the demon child doesn’t understand justice, and the Blue Star person child doesn’t understand what evidence is."
"mbers of the Three Judicial Departnts visit the Demon Purgatory. A High-Level Demon takes them to a demon-filled prison, proudly explaining how he fabricated evidence to fra these demons. The mbers of the Three Judicial Departnts ponder this. Years later, the High-Level Demon visits Blue Star. The mbers of the Three Judicial Departnts take him to an overcrowded prison, proudly explaining their framing process. The High-Level Demon asks in confusion, ’Where is the fabricated evidence?’"
...
Zhou Leng finished reading and looked at other people’s ssages.
Wang Boxiong suggested they et up for a al and a chat.
They agreed to have lunch together the next day.
That day, Zhou Leng returned to the Guhe Research Institute and had cake with Xu Qingjin and other friends.
The next day at noon, Zhou Leng and Wang Boxiong went to a small restaurant with private rooms, eating and chatting.
"I heard you’re doing well in the Otherworld?"
"Not too bad."
"Now that I see you, should I be calling you the headmaster?" Wang Boxiong joked half-seriously.
"If you like, I won’t stop you."
Wang Boxiong’s gaze turned cold, "After our al, let’s go sowhere outside to spar."
Zhou Leng looked seriously at Wang Boxiong, "In two years, for sure."
"Two years? You’re quite arrogant, but alright! Two years from now, you and I will have a grand battle on Grandmaster Island."
"It’s a deal!" Zhou Leng said.
Wang Boxiong smiled, "Do you have any extra Fierce Beast Bone Powder? Our research shows that your Fierce Beast Bone Powder greatly enhances the advancent in the Innate Realm."
"Oh? That miraculous?"
"We suspect your bone powder is either fresh or contains other powers, stronger than Dragon Bone, very mystical."
Zhou Leng recalled that the batch of Fierce Beast bones was indeed fresh, once placed near the Elder Tree.
"Can you get another batch? It seems the Eagle Alliance’s Trup Family got a batch," Wang Boxiong said casually.
Zhou Leng realized his intention and stroked his chin, "I got my Fierce Beast bones through the Ice Snow Divine Sect. Last ti was just a trial, now, the Ice Snow Divine Sect wants to exchange Grandmaster resources or Martial Saint resources, nothing else."
"Can’t you just use money? Grandmaster and Martial Saint resources are too precious, only for crucial monts."
"I think the Ice Snow Divine Sect will use high-level resources at the right mont."
They exchanged glances.
Wang Boxiong was silent for a long ti, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll try to contact higher-ups. However, it’s not possible to satisfy everything, there will be a certain ratio. If it doesn’t work out, you can always buy at a high price from the Eagle Alliance."
"Most likely, in the future, resources like Fierce Beast bones will be very, very expensive," Zhou Leng said.
Wang Boxiong frowned, "Ordinary people won’t be able to afford it, it can’t all go to the Martial Valve Race."
"I’ll find a way to take a loss, and have the Ice Snow Divine Sect provide so resources to the Ancient River Sect disciples," Zhou Leng said.
They continued eating in silence.
After a while, they resud chatting.
After the al, Wang Boxiong said, "Today, I have two important things to tell you."
"The first thing is that Xue Chengsong was killed by the Demon Worship Sect of Kangaroo Country, on the surface, it looks like an accident. Additionally, the mine you all lost to Gao Tianfeng was confiscated and then turned into a private enterprise."
Zhou Leng’s expression visibly darkened. Back when he was penniless, Xue Chengsong hired him to study Martial Arts, and he made a lot of money.
The Demonized Watch he used to wear was a gift from him.
Unexpectedly, right after the Demonized Watch was replaced, Xue Chengsong was murdered.
Although Xue Tongming was hesitant, Xue Chengsong had always been good to him, and they later managed a mine together, which was unfortunately seized by Gao Tianfeng.
Learning that the Spirit Land Jade King might contain true star energy, reclaiming the mine beca his primary goal for returning to Rucheng.
And now it was privately taken by soone else.
"Did the Zhao Family do it?" Zhou Leng took out his old, worn Demonized Watch from the Magic Spirit Bag and lightly brushed his fingers across the screen.
Wang Boxiong said, "Xue Chengsong was killed by soone sent by Gao Tianfeng, avenging his brother by killing many innocent people. Your mine has yielded several Spirit Land Jades, all sent to Zhao Palace. It’s said Madam Zhao and the matriarch really like them. Now, Zhao Palace is waiting for the possible appearance of the Jade King, and Zhao Hao is personally overseeing it, because the legend says the Jade King can prolong life or even improve the body."
Zhou Leng squinted his eyes.
So Spirit Land Jade Kings continuously emit faint true star energy, equivalent to being in the Great Battlefield for a long ti.
It’s crucial for personal cultivation.
One could even say that a Jade King with true star energy is the foundation for reaching sainthood, the essence of Martial Arts.
Wang Boxiong said, "I was hesitant to tell you, but you’ll find out eventually. I’m telling you in advance to prevent rash actions. Right now, you don’t have the power to compete with the Zhao Family, you have to endure patiently. When the ti cos, and if the Zhao Family faces a major crisis, perhaps you can act."
Zhou Leng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kill, "Senior brother, if you were , what would your first step be?"
"What do you want?"
"Justice, the Jade King."
