Chapter 799 – Departures
This was a changing world, and no one was sure what would happen in the next second. Even time is not immutable, what is eternal?
Left could survive in the Jinling for thousands of years, but it could also collapse at any time.
When the Heaven’s Killing Sword pierced through the old lady’s chest, it was actually equivalent to slashing viciously through the Left’s foundation. The colossus fell down just like that, to the point that before the old woman died, her thought was not to kill this young man, but … What did I do?
However, her regret was not for An Zheng, but for making the wrong decision.
“You won’t have a good ending.”
She looked into An Zheng’s eyes and said her last sentence.
An Zheng twisted the sword hilt in his hand and shattered the old woman’s heart, “No matter how bad your fate is, it won’t be worse than yours.”
The old lady’s eyes widened, and reached out her hand as though she wanted to strangle An Zheng to death. However, that hand still stayed stiff in the middle of the air, standing there, unable to move anymore.
“I’ll kill you!”
Zuo Xifeng roared and rushed towards An Zheng, but was kicked away by Qi Tian.
“It’s not over.”
An Zheng turned around and looked at those Left people who had faces full of anger and fear. His gaze swept across those people as he said, “I still have the same words as before. If you don’t come out yourself, I’ll have to ask the people around you to identify you. ”
“If there’s no one to identify me, then I can only try my luck. It’s fine if I can kill the right person, but you can only blame your bad luck for killing the wrong person.”
An Zheng took a step forward. For so many people from the Left to retreat at almost the same time, it was a kind of subconscious fear. Under this kind of invisible pressure, very soon, there were people who collapsed. They grabbed the people beside them and pushed them away, “There was him yesterday! These things have nothing to do with us. Most of us don’t know what’s going on right now, so you can’t just randomly kill the innocent! ”
When the first person began to do so, the storm formed only for a moment. It had only been a few minutes, and all the people who participated in the assassination attempt on An Zheng were thrown out. At that time, Du Shoushou had forcefully withstood the attacks of Zuo Kui and Zuo Hao and tried to kill them all. Although the remaining people saw that Du Shoushou was severely injured, they did not have the guts to continue charging towards him.
Now they were all being pushed out, their eyes filled with fear apart from anger.
“Feeling very angry?”
An Zheng extended his hand out, and a disciple handed him a long blade.
The person closest to An Zheng turned around and was about to escape. An Zheng grabbed him by the neck, and under the pressure of the Lower Celestial Stage Ranker, he couldn’t help but kneel down.
“Tell me, are you angry at yourself for being betrayed by your family, or are you angry at yourself for not being powerful enough?”
An Zheng pressed a hand on the man’s head and made him lower his head: “Forget it, I don’t want to hear about it anymore.”
The head rolled far away from him.
“We didn’t kill him. Instead, he killed two of our family members. Why are you treating us like this?!”
A person who had been scared to the point of going limp roared, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
“You mean I have to wait until you kill him before I get my revenge?” It’s not that you’re lenient that he’s not dead, it’s just because he’s strong enough and lucky. If he took the initiative to provoke you, this matter would not end in such a way. You went to kill people, not to be killed. You dare look in my eyes and say to me, you went out of Jinling on your own accord to send me to my death? ”
That person opened his mouth, but he was so scared that he trembled and couldn’t say a single word.
“Keep your head down.”
An Zheng pressed the blade against that person’s neck, and then, witouch of the blade, a head rolled down.
“The reason I let you all watch them die is because I hope that you can remember them for a few days. If you were to really talk about it, there are many people in Left that deserved to die. “But right now, I am only going to attack the person who did it yesterday.”
Dozens of people and dozens of heads fell to the ground.
An Zheng casually threw the blade that already had a hole in it to the ground, then turned and walked out: “Fatty, is that enough?”
Du Shoushou who was lying on the bed nodded: “That’s enough, let’s go back.”
An Zheng acknowledged: “Then, let’s go home.”
He walked to the bedside and helped Du Shoushou climb onto his back, then carried Du Shoushou and walked out. “Can’t you lose weight? “Damn heavy.”
Du Shoushou said. “Do you think I don’t want to lose weight?
An Zheng laughed, and pushed Du Shoushou up against his chest: “I remember the last time I was injured, you were carrying me on your back and ran over to find someone to save me. This is also the first time we have met the Xiao Liu’er and the Mad Qu. No one would have thought that from that day onwards, we would become family. ”
Du Shoushou: “Hahahaha, and you’re still talking about it. That was so tiring.”
As the two spoke these words, they walked outside. Just as they walked out of the door, they saw a group of imperial bodyguards wearing bright yellow silk clothing walking over from afar, led by Wen En. After seeing An Zheng, Wen En walked over quickly and greeted with a smile: “Greetings, Duke Yang Wei.”
An Zheng shook his head: “Eunuch’s words are not cute at all.”
Wen En said: “Now that the Marquis is the Marquis, I naturally cannot speak nonsense.”
An Zheng asked: “Why are you here?”
Wen En did not answer but asked back, “Is Master Hou done with his matters?”
An Zheng nodded: “Done.”
Wen En laughed: “Master Hou’s matter is done, now it’s my turn.”
He walked to the entrance of the Left and retrieved an imperial edict from his sleeves. He said loudly, “The Sacred Emperor’s will. Training the private soldiers, colluding with forces outside the Da Xi Empire, trying to subvert the Da Xi Holy See. From today onwards, all official titles of Left will be taken away and everyone will be imprisoned for interrogation. ”
After putting away the imperial edict, he waved his hand, “Capture all of them!”
Large groups of imperial bodyguards rushed in from the outside, taking each and every one of them. Those people from the Left who thought that their family’s disaster had finally reached its end, all had ashen faces.
An Zheng turned his head back to look at the wailing ghosts and howling wolves. He could not help but shake his head slightly.
Du Shoushou said: “Why are you shaking your head, isn’t this the legendary justice that comes late?”
An Zheng said: “Delayed justice, aside from comforting others, is actually useless. The last line that I like the most is that justice comes late but is not absent. That is just an irresponsible sentence … What I want to do is to make the justice of this world come and go. ”
Du Shoushou: “What do you want to do, I’ll just follow you. You know how stupid I am, I can’t think of so many things.
An Zheng ran frantically: “Time to go home!”
Du Shoushou pointed forward: “Run, mount.”
In the quiet garden, Zhou Xiangyang knelt there and didn’t even dare to raise his head. After he received the news that Left’s family was raided, he rushed over, and after entering the door, he kneeled on the ground, not daring to even say a single word, and only said that he was wrong.
Chen Wunuo tilted his head and glanced at him: “You have nothing else to say to us?”
“This subject knows his wrongs and is guilty. No matter how His Majesty punishes me, this subject will not complain.”
“You mean you wanted to complain?”
Zhou Xiangyang trembled in fear: “This subject doesn’t dare, this subject really doesn’t dare.”
“Alright, get up. This matter is only a matter of the martial arts world. I know that your Zhou family is not involved in this, but they are stupid. Since you want to atone for your sins, how about this … We just got the news, the war over there for the Duke of Qin, Chen Zhongxu, was not going smoothly. The summoner s of the Summoning the Spiritual World have brought the southern army a lot of trouble, so their progress was slow. “Therefore, you will personally lead the team and select fifty experts from your Zhou Family to go to the southern border to assist the Duke of Qin with his rebellion.”
Zhou Xiangyang’s shoulders trembled slightly, but he did not dare object: “This subject accepts the orders, this subject will immediately go back to pick out people. Fifty is too few. This subject will bring 200 members of the Qin family south to assist the Duke of Qin in his rebellion. ”
“That’s good.”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand, “Don’t be too afraid, and don’t be too worried. We know that you are different from those people in the Left. However, in the end, you all still participated in this matter. If you do not do anything and contribute a bit, then I will not side with your Zhou family. “It’s all my subjects. If I do not take care of your Zhou family when I become the Left, I’m afraid people will say that I am unfair.”
“This subject thanks the lord for his grace!”
At that moment, Zhou Xiangyang finally understood the thoughts of the Sacred Emperor … He had to bring his men down to the south to accompany the prince in battle with those terrifying summoner. He couldn’t complain or even ask for help. The strength of the Zhou Clan depended entirely on the will of the Sacred Emperor. The survival of the Zhou Clan depended on the will of the Sacred Emperor as well.
“Go, I still have many things to take care of.”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand. “We look forward to your triumphant return together with the Duke of Qin.”
Zhou Xiangyang kowtowed heavily several times, then crawled up and left while bowing. He only dared to turn around after leaving the door. His back was already soaked in cold sweat. He really did not think that the Sacred Emperor would actually be so decisive in venting his anger on Chen Liuxi’s behalf. Even though the Left did not have the support of a Lower Celestial Stage Ranker, it was still a large business after all …
With this thought, he suddenly understood. There was no longer a need for the people of the Left to exist. However, the wealth that the people of the Left had accumulated for so many years was what the Da Xi needed now. So, on the surface, it seemed like the Sacred Emperor was venting his anger for Chen Liuxi, but in reality, he was filling up his national treasury. Just the property of the Left was enough for the King of Qin, Chen Zhongxu, to conduct his conquest.
The Emperor was scheming.
Zhou Xiangyang felt cold in his heart, but he was also afraid.
Tea garden.
After An Zheng settled Du Shoushou down, he went to see Zhou Buyu. She wasn’t really going to kill him to avenge his brother. He just felt that it was too difficult for his to live in this world, so he came to kill himself. The person he loved had killed his elder brother, so what could she do?
So in the end, her choice was to let herself die at the hands of the person she loved.
But when An Zheng walked into the house, he realized that there was no one there. Zhou Buyu left without a sound. She did not tell anyone, as if she had never been there.
There waiece of paper on the table. An Zheng walked over and looked at it.
There were only a few words on the paper.
Ten years ago, this was the first time he had competed against each other.
Ten years later, Jun Wu Yi was already far away from the world.
