Chapter 741 – Guan Yu's Blunder
Miaomiao flew to the sky and spread his Qi sense. He looked around to see a landmark or anything that indicated a civilization. Unfortunately, everything within a radius of 100 kilometers was a desolated wasteland.
'Where the hell am I? Where did that bastard send me to?'
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the karma connection between him and Mao Shan, Xiong Zhenzhen, and Tang Ting. They were nowhere closer than 1,000 kilometers, which was a bad sign.
'Hmm?'
Suddenly, Miaomiao picked up the aura signature of Xiong Zhenzhen. She suddenly teleported and appeared 500 kilometers toward the east of Miaomiao's current location!
Without hesitation, Miaomiao flew toward Xiong Zhenzhen at the speed of sound. In less than 30 minutes, he found her in the middle of the wasteland, panting and meditating.
Her clothes were bloody. Her long wounds on her arms and legs hadn't stopped bleeding, and she hadn't tended her wounds yet.
Miaomiao descended, "Zhenzhen!"
"M-Master?! MASTER!" Xiong Zhenzhen jumped up and embraced him.
Miaomiao patted Xiong Zhenzhen's back. He brought out a canteen of the sacred element water and poured it on her wounds. The water seeped into her skin and mended the injuries, stopping the bleeding.
Xiong Zhenzhen's breathing got better. She regained her composure, and her pale face regained some color.
"T-Thank you, master. Your talisman saved me, and you healed me."
"You're my concubine. Obviously, it's my job to protect you."
"… I'm the luckiest girl on the continent."
"Hahaha!"
Miaomiao patted her back. He let her calm down and enjoy the embrace. Although Miaomiao wanted to do something about her tattered sexy clothes, he retrained himself.
A few minutes later, Xiong Zhenzhen finished recharging her mental battery. She stopped hugging Miaomiao.
"Where are we, master?"
"I have no idea either," Miaomiao sighed. He looked east as he found something. "But we might find out soon."
Xiong Zhenzhen followed Miaomiao's eyesight and noticed something in the east as well.
"Let's go."
.
Miaomiao and Xiong Zhenzhen flew 500 kilometers toward the east. Then, they came across a mountain range. Flying further east, they could finally see a city.
However, the city was larger than Pirate Hunter City. It occupied over 500 square kilometers of the basin, hiding behind the tall mountain range.
As Miaomiao observed the city further, he noticed the national flags and the uniforms of the sentry soldiers on the wall.
Green uniform and the green national flags with the Chinese Word – Liu.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh. Guan Yu had made a mistake by teleporting Miaomiao here instead of sending him elsewhere. Now, he was on the turf of the Shu Han Republic.
"Is that Shu Han Republic's city?" Xiong Zhenzhen was curious.
Miaomiao gestured for her to land on the mountain and hide their presence. They looked further to find more information about the city.
He whispered, "I don't know if we're lucky or not, but this city doesn't look like an outskirt city. It's probably a provincial capital city or even the capital city of Shu Han."
"Should we attack it?" Xiong Zhenzhen grinned. She couldn't wait to avenge what they had done to Miaomiao and her earlier.
"Hold your horses, little girl. There might be some experts hiding in there. Let me probe it first."
Miaomiao spread his Qi sense to inspect the city. Like a radar, his domain swept through everything within a radius of 100 kilometers.
As Miaomiao managed to pinpoint every local expert and cultivator, the local cultivators also noticed that they were being spied on and discovered Miaomiao's location. Some of them rushed out to meet him right away.
The sentry guards and cultivators were all 7th-stage, which was weaker than them. As soon as they flew out and found Miaomiao's cultivation base, they landed on the mountain and saluted him.
"Sir, who are you? Why are you violating the laws and using your Qi sense here."
Miaomiao raised his brows, "Excuse me. I don't know anything about your laws. I and my wife just come out of seclusion and don't know the culture here. Please forgive my offense."
Seeing that Miaomiao was humble, the guards and the local cultivators were relieved. More than half of them flew back to the city and minded their businesses while the guards invited them inside.
"Then, please register at our town center, dear guests. Shu Han Republic requires all visitors and cultivators to have an ID card to identify themselves and affiliations. You will also need a Visa from our officials so that you can travel freely in our country."
"How modernized."
Miaomiao admired the system that Liu Xuande was using, but he had another goal.
"I'm curious. I don't see any immortal or demi-immortal here. Have the average strength of cultivators degraded in the past 100 years that we're in seclusion?"
Miaomiao pretended that he was over 100 years old. He scoffed at the guard, "Where is your city lord? Who is your current king?"
The guards lowered their heads again as they thought that Miaomiao was from senior generations. One of them revealed everything.
"Senior, this is Chengdu, the capital city of Shu Han Republic. It has recently been established 10 years ago, so you might not know anything about it. Our current leader is King Liu Xuande, and the Prime Minister is Lord Zhuge Liang."
Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. The background of this country was the same as the Three Kingdoms Era's Shu Han Dynasty, which Liu Bei found. Zhuge Liang's entity also surprised Miaomiao as this guy in his previous life was one of the Nirvana Sect's disciples under him.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang went missing after the Lilim incident. He didn't consume Silver Qi, and he didn't have the previous life's experience. And now, he returned to his fated lord, Liu Xuande.
As they were no longer allies, they could only become enemies!
"So, where are Liu Xuande and Zhuge Liang?"
"They are out with their troops at the moment, senior."
"They're out? Where are they now?"
"They're probably attacking Wu Dynasty Empire right now."
Miaomiao pretended to be confused. He rubbed his chin, "Wu Dynasty Empire? Why are you at war? Cultivators of my time never went to war. They simply sent their strongest representatives and settled everything in a duel. You, youngsters, are moronic."
The guards wryly smiled, "Senior, the time has changed. Duels alone cannot settle political issues. Unless we eradicate all countries and unite everyone, we will never find peace."
Miaomiao snickered, "Is that so? You just need to slaughter innocent commoners for the sake of your ideal now?"
"Sacrifices are necessary for the advancement of technologies and peace, senior. Please do not look down on our generations."
Miaomiao and Xiong Zhenzhen inwardly laughed. They managed to extract a lot of information from the guards, and they confirmed where they were.
"Last question. Do you know someone by the name Liu Guang?"
"Oh, that's the heretic princess."
"Where is she?"
"In the capital prison, of course. But senior, how did you know about her?"
As Miaomiao no longer needed these guys anymore, he condensed sword Qi with his hands, and an energy glade extended from his straightened fingers.
WHOOSH
WHOOSH
Before the guards could react, Miaomiao chopped off their heads and their nascent souls in one slice. They widened their eyes as they didn't notice how their vision flipped upside down.
That was not all. Miaomiao covered the entire city under his dark domain, shrouding everything in the darkest cloud.
As soon as Miaomiao's dark domain enveloped the city, everybody inside could no longer use their five senses or Qi sense. They could still circulate their Qi, but they wouldn't be able to see or hear anything.
The domain caused a commotion. Cultivators attempted to fly out of the domain, but they ended up hitting the domain's ceiling, which was covered by another layer of Miaomiao's barrier domain. It blocked everyone from going out, but Miaomiao and Xiong Zhenzhen could go in and see everything clearly inside.
Xiong Zhenzhen was astonished by Miaomiao's power. She looked at her master in admiration.
"Master, what is this law? What can it do?"
Miaomiao shrugged, "It's just a normal element domain."
"No elemental domain can disable others' Qi and five senses, master."
"Is it?"
"Yes! Darkness Domain that I know can only blind the people inside, but they can't disable Qi like yours."
"They must be bad at dark elements, then."
Miaomiao closed his eyes and created the third domain. This time, he created a sword domain so that he could pinpoint and attack anybody inside from a distance.
As if an infrared radar appeared in Miaomiao's mind, he could see a million people in the domain. He saw their faces, expressions, and every action as if he was the owners of their bodies.
Like a chaotic neutral villain, Miaomiao began cutting down citizens of Chengdu. He didn't even spare animals, children, elders, and commoners in the city.
"M-Master?" Xiong Zhenzhen was taken aback when Miaomiao began creating energy swords in the domain and cutting down everybody.
"This is war, Zhenzhen. They attacked us first. We retaliate."
"But they are commoners…"
"Geneva Convention and War Crimes haven't been found yet. I did nothing wrong."
"What are Geneva and war crimes, master? You're talking weird again."
Miaomiao kept on killing while he answered his concubine's endless questions, "They are nonsensical and impractical rules of wars. For example, you can't use bio-weapons or attack civilians in wars. But in reality, they killed innocent bystanders, intentionally and unintentionally, during every war. And when they did, no one got prosecuted or punished for it."
"… I don't understand a thing."
"Me neither. Hahahaha!"
Miaomiao continued slaughtering cultivators and commoners in Chengdu until no one on the surface remained alive. Then, he turned his attention to the underground level, where people were locked in rooms and cages.
"Let's go. We'll free a prisoner or two."
.
Pirate Hunter City
The glorious trade hub city was now burning. Local cultivators and commoners were slaughtered like livestock.
Guan Yu returned to command the battleship. He ordered everyone not to spare a single person.
"This is Pangu's order! Leave none alive!"
The order was cruel, but no soldier from his side batted an eye when they murdered newborn children and women.
Guan Yu let out a long sigh. He was relieved that he managed to ditch Miaomiao in the western wasteland and come back to cripple Mao Clan.
Suddenly, one of his tokens vibrated. A sound transmission came from Chengdu City, where his clansmen and his children resided.
"FATHER, OUR CITY IS UNDER ATTAC-AHHHH!!"
It was too late. The child of Guan Yu died while he tried to ask for his father's help.
