NOVPUBChapter 475 -476 Shatter (4th Update)
Lin Qian took a deep breath and lightly patted Little Jiang’s head, then squatted down, “Little Jiang, the dead cannot be brought back to life, at least I can’t do it now. But rest assured, I will avenge your parents.”
“Now, the humans in this gathering place are already subjects of the Huaxia Empire. Since they dare to harm my subjects, they must pay a price.”
Lin Qian’s words deeply disappointed Little Jiang, whose eyes seemed to lose their color and gaze, his expression blank, his pupils seemingly out of focus, and he could only woodenly nod forward.
Seeing Little Jiang’s appearance, Lin Qian felt a pang of heartache and walked over to Yue Liqun with a grim face, asking in a deep voice, “What is the meaning of this now, and why is it again linked to Shen Zhixing?”
Yue Liqun also looked troubled and slowly explained the situation to Lin Qian.
According to Wang Gang’s description, a powerful individual from the Awakening Realm of the Black Corner Clan suddenly arrived here. After speaking some words in midair, he launched a Soul Power attack on the gathering place. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
According to the attacker, his son died in this area, so it must have been someone here who did it. Since the truth couldn’t be discerned, the only option was to discipline the people here as a warning.
If the perpetrator was not handed over within ten days, all these gathering spots would be eradicated.
As for the small courtyard above this gathering place that belonged to Lin Qian, it was discovered by the Awakening Realm attacker that the courtyard withstood his attack completely unscathed—it was certainly valuable, so he took it.
The attacker from the Awakening Realm of the Black Corner Clan claimed to be a subordinate of the thirteenth Prince of the Black Corner Country.
It was at this moment that Lin Qian fully understood what Yue Liqun meant when he said Shen Zhixing had moved the Rebel Palace to his Royal City earlier.
After all, the father of Shen Yi, whom Lin Qian had killed, was the thirteenth son of the Black Corner Emperor, and that thirteenth Prince was Shen Zhixing.
“It seems I am indeed fated with this Shen Zhixing,” Lin Qian said, his face breaking into a cold sneer. “A failure who can’t even discipline his own son. But like father, like son, Shen Zhixing himself is nothing great, hmm.”
After hearing the reason why Lin Qian killed Shen Yi, Yue Liqun was certain that the old Palace Master was probably killed by him.
Knowing what kind of person his son was, Shen Zhixing as a father could not be unaware, yet he let him be. This alone revealed his character.
“Shen Zhixing, as the thirteenth Prince, has his own Royal City, also carved out of a mountain,” Yue Liqun explained as they headed towards Shen Zhixing’s Royal City, “The Royal City is specifically built for the Prince’s residence, thus smaller than normal cities, fashioned out of a single mountain.”
“But now inside Shen Zhixing’s Royal City, there are a large number of private soldiers, along with the relocated Rebel Palace. There are no less than a thousand from the Awakening Realm of the Black Corner Clan and nearly a million from the Life and Death Realm. As for those from the Sky Breaking Realm, their numbers are even higher. And with all the servants included, there are no other people.”
“Those Black Corner Clan members below the Nirvana Realm are not qualified to enter the Royal City.”
After hearing Yue Liqun’s descriptions, Lin Qian nodded, “Since there are no ordinary people, things will be much easier.”
“Easier?”
“Previously, the cities we conquered had too many ordinary members of the Black Corner Clan and enslaved members of the Four Clans; naturally, we couldn’t use excessively violent methods.” Lin Qian looked forward, his eyes filled with a cold light, “Since there are no ordinary people in his Royal City, just make the Royal City disappear.”
At the moment, in his own Royal City, Shen Zhixing curiously examined the courtyard that Lin Qian once resided in, even attempting to attack it with Soul Power, finding it truly completely unscathed.
“Not bad, certainly a good item.” Seeing the courtyard in front of him, Shen Zhixing nodded with satisfaction, waving to several Awakening Realm Black Corner Clan members kneeling beside him, “Continue watching those ten gathering spots in that area. If they don’t hand over the murderer, let them all accompany my son in death.”
“Prince, what if they hand over the murderer?”
“If they hand over the murderer? Of course, bring the murderer back, and also wipe out the people of the four races within those ten gathering spots to accompany my son.” Shen Zhixing tapped the courtyard wall with his hand, saying emotionlessly, “Yi’s death is ultimately irreversible. The only thing I can do as a father is to have ten to twenty million people accompany him, at his beck and call.”
Upon saying this, Shen Zhixing turned his head to look at the Black Corner Clan member who had questioned him earlier, “After all, they are just four lowly races, they should be grateful to accompany my son in death. Go now!”
“Yes!”
As his subordinate left, Shen Zhixing continued to examine the courtyard, clicking his tongue in amazement.
“Clearly, the materials used to build this courtyard are extraordinary. If they could be made into a Soul Device, the grade would certainly not be low.” Shen Zhixing stroked the walls of the courtyard, full of praise, “I don’t know which wastrel used such rare treasures to make a house, it’s simply a waste of heaven-sent resources.”
At this moment, Shen Zhixing suddenly recalled Yue Liqun, “Finally got that bothersome fellow out, but I didn’t expect that the matter of the surface world would indeed be true.”
“I hope this human, Lin Qian, won’t ruin my plan.” Thinking of Lin Qian, Shen Zhixing’s eyes grew colder.
Following the current trend, in another twenty years, dissatisfaction with the Black Corner Emperor in the Black Corner Country would reach a climax. By then, when he stands up to rebel, with a just cause, he could gain the support of the entire Black Corner Clan.
By then, revealing the truth about the Enlistment Wine…
“No, if Yue Liqun tells those few old men about this, it will be trouble.” At this moment, Shen Zhixing suddenly realized the more he thought, the more worried he became. He slapped his forehead, “And the Human Clan said he has an antidote, right? Might as well kill Yue Liqun and capture that Human Clan to extract the antidote formula.”
“By then, revealing the Enlistment Wine and using the antidote together, I could win the hearts of the people!” With this thought, Shen Zhixing decided to set out now, to kill Yue Liqun and capture Lin Qian.
However, Shen Zhixing did not know that the Lin Qian and Yue Liqun he was preparing to capture and kill were already nearing his Royal City.
After Yue Liqun twisted off the head of the last Black Corner Clan sentry, he pointed towards a mountain peak shrouded in a faint glow ahead, “Your Majesty, that is Shen Zhixing’s Royal City. What shall we do next?”
“I am prepared to smash it!” Looking at the straight mountain peak Royal City ahead, Lin Qian said coldly.
