Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 968 – Confusion

The stars in good old man’s eyes were incomparably bright, as if they were shining like a boundless universe. From Cao Lie’s nose and mouth, streams of air flowed into good old man’s eyes. In that moment, Cao Lie’s body became weak and he fell to the ground, twitching.

Du Shoushou grabbed his Triton and rushed forward, raised his trident and stabbed it into the back of Cao Lie’s head.

“Father!”

Cao Cheng kneeled down at the door and kowtowed heavily.

An Zheng turned around and glanced at Cao Cheng. There was suddenly something indescribable in his heart, something very complicated. No one was clear about this matter between father and son. Whether it was his father making more mistakes or his son making more mistakes, it might not be as important anymore.

Cao Cheng stood up after kowtowing a few times, his face full of tears. Trembling, he walked over and picked up Cao Lie’s body. He then turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

An Zheng glanced at Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai: “The two of you go in and look for it, this is your lucky chance. Ya Kuo and I will stand guard outside. Although Cao Cheng does not look like he will play any more tricks, it’s still better to be safe. ”

Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. The two of them ran into the great hall. An Zheng sat down on the doorstep of the great hall and took a sip from his wine jug. The things that had happened recently were a bit strange, as if they were just a dream. Why did this place exist? Would the balance of the Mortal Realm, which Purple Ivy and Da Chi had protected together, really be stable?

They might have just done what they thought they should do, but they were well aware of how the mortal world would develop. As long as there is desire in one’s heart, the dispute will not end. The so-called peaceful and prosperous world was a world of great struggles. It all depended on who was competing and what was competing. If others came to fight, the world would not be safe. If An Zheng came to compete, what kind of world would the world be?

Ya Kuo walked over and squatted beside An Zheng: “You are someone who can be friends.”

An Zheng passed the wine pot to Ya Kuo: “You too.”

Ya Kuo laughed honestly: “Friends are always the same. I can tell that the three of you are very brave, so I am also willing to be close with you guys. While protecting His Highness, you could have just left, but you didn’t. ”

An Zheng: “Today, you also didn’t just leave.”

Ya Kuo rubbed his butt, “But you threw me out.”

An Zheng could not help but shake his head and smile, “This is the past of the people of Central Plains. You should not be involved. If I let you get hurt because of this, I will feel uneasy. ”

Ya Kuo looked into the distance. Cao Cheng walked down the stage step by step with Cao Lie’s body in his arms. Below the stage, the group was in a ready position, but there wainge of sorrow mixed in. The two Great Generals who had fought for the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb for dozens of years did not die on the battlefield. Instead, they died in the hands of their Great Master, whom they had followed for dozens of years. And they were willing to throw their lives away. Perhaps they felt that living was better than dying.

Just as Cao Cheng was about to return to the group, a black figure suddenly rushed over from afar, right after which a cold light exploded.

“Return my lord’s life!”

With a loud bang, Cao Cheng’s body was sent flying backwards, and a pool of blood sprayed out in the middle of the air. While in midair, he had died. His chest had been penetrated by the cold light, and his broken internal organs were scattered all over the ground. An Zheng thought that it was someone loyal to Cao Lie that had attacked him, but after seeing who it was clearly, An Zheng felt his heart clogged up.

Zhao Mie.

General Zhao Mie of Shu had somehow arrived in this secret realm. He suddenly shot out his spear. The cold light on the spear was like ten thousand shooting stars piercing through his chest. Even the Da Lou Golden Immortal could not save Cao Cheng, as the father and son duo’s bodies were lying on the ground.

Zhao Mie looked at the thousand soldiers and said loudly: “I am General Zhao Mie of Great Shu, kill Cao Zhe, avenge my master!”

Those soldiers and cultivators were stunned for a moment. One of them shouted “kill the traitor” and then rushed forward. What was shocking was that Zhao Mie did not leave!

“I have fought in the war with my lord’s advisor and have never retreated.”

Zhao Mie then stabbed his spear into the enemy troops alone, causing heads to fly and blood to splatter. Even though his Cultivation Power was severely suppressed in this secret realm, fighting into thousands of troops was still unstoppable. That rusty but cold iron spear flew up and down in the crowd as one cultivator after another from the Wei Kingdom fell to the ground. It had only been a few minutes, but Zhao Mie had actually charged from one end of the group to the other, learning all the way.

At least a few hundred people were killed by him, but Zhao Mie still did not leave, chasing after the soldiers and slaughtering them to death.

“This person must be crazy.”

Ya Kuo’s face paled as he watched, “How can he be so crazy and so fierce?”

“Him?”

An Zheng couldn’t find the right words to describe him in that moment either. From a certain perspective, Zhao Mie and Zhang Ge who had died in his hands were the same kind of person. They looked magnificent, but they didn’t have a life of their own. They lived not for themselves, but for others.

An Zheng and Ya Kuo did not move, because this was the story of this world, they should not have taken action.

When Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou came out of the great hall, Zhao Mie, who was covered in blood, had also killed all one thousand five hundred soldiers by himself. One person massacred 1500 people, causing blood to stain his entire body. As he walked, the blood also flowed down along the stream of his battle armor. With a single step, he left a bloody footprint on the ground.

“Why are you guys here as well?”

Zhao Mie slightly raised his chin and looked at An Zheng: “Are you the helper that Cao Zhe invited?”

An Zheng shook his head: “We are only here to retrieve some things, it has nothing to do with this place. If we were invited by Cao Cheng, we would have already attacked you. ”

Zhao Mie’s eyes flashed, he turned and left.

Du Shoushou shouted: “Hero, where are you going?”

“Return to Big Shu and protect the country and the citizens.”

Just as he finished speaking, a horse rode over from afar. The rider who was still far away could not see the miserable scene on this side, and shouted while riding: “War report! A good news! The Zhong Great Governor has already conquered the capital of Shu and the Lord of Shu is captured alive.

When he rushed to the bottom of the Soaring Dragon Platform and saw the floor full of corpses, as well as His Majesty amongst them, he was completely dumbfounded. Zhao Mie arrived in a flash and pulled the rider off the horse, “Say it again!”

The rider said shakily, “The Kingdom of Shu... “The country of Shu has been destroyed.”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Zhao Mie kicked the soldier away, throwing him back with the spear in his hand. The iron spear turned into a stream of light and pierced through the soldier’s body. With a “tut” sound, the spear was nailed to a stone wall in the distance. The spear shaft still continued to tremble uncontrollably.

“Why …”

Zhao Mie kneeled down, and started crying witoarse voice.

Du Shoushou: “I really want to console him, but I don’t know what to say. War between nations never involved justice or evil. No matter if it’s the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb destroying Big Shu, or Great Master Shu destroying the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, we are still just a spectator in the end. ”

An Zheng patted Du Shoushou’s shoulders, “I remember previously saying that you are a wise man.”

“Have you found it?”

“Found it.”

Chen Shaobai did not want the atmosphere to become so heavy, so he laughed: “Does it look like I have become more handsome than before? As expected, Purple Ivy’s Immortal Emperor’s item was kept for the sake of passing it down to me. I have already found it, and can open it completely.

“I found it too.”

Du Shoushou revealed a pearl in his hand: “Although what I found wasn’t Da Chi’s legacy, I found a pearl. My intuition tells me that this is probably the Ocean Soul Orb that Ya Kuo and the rest are painstakingly searching for. ”

He passed the things to Chen Shaobai: “Go and take this sister.”

When the four of them were walking out, they could not help but turn and look at Zhao Mie. Zhao Mie had already shakily stood up and pulled off his own iron spear, his back dispirited as he left.

Not long after he left the Soaring Dragon Platform, a cloud of dust rose up in front of him. Soon after, a group of tens of thousands of soldiers rushed over. An Zheng and the rest did not dodge, the group continued to protect An Zheng and the rest. The archers in the circle had already nocked their bows, ready to fire at any moment.

“They are the ones who killed His Majesty!”

“Shoot them!”

“Don’t let these people leave this place alive. If they want to assassinate His Majesty, they should split his body into five pieces!”

There were constant shouts from the crowd. Those archers could send out their arrows at any time. At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man in white clothes rode out from the crowd. This person looked to be around forty years old, with a white face and no beard.

“Stop!”

The man reined in his horse, looked at An Zheng, and said, “I am the general of the’s Army, Sima Chang Ce. His Majesty has really …”

“Yes.”

An Zheng nodded: “Dead.”

Sima Chang Zai was silent for a moment before waving his hand and said, “Split open a path for them to pass through. These people are not the ones who murdered His Majesty.” The army was divided into two teams. The former army swept across the Soaring Dragon Platform in search of the assassin’s remnants. The rear guard will follow me back to the city to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. ”

He looked at An Zheng and asked, “You will leave, right?”

An Zheng: “Never again.”

Sima Chang Zai nodded his head, “I will not go back on my word.”

Du Shoushou: “What kind of good place do you think it is? “You sure are open-minded. Since you know that we didn’t kill the emperor, I won’t scold you.”

Sima Chang Zai moved away from the horse, “Please.”

An Zheng and the other two passed through the army, and they could vaguely hear Sima Chang Zai giving out orders within the army.

“Send the order that according to His Majesty’s orders, all officers above the rank of general should come to Ye City to discuss the matter.”

“Send the order, the empress dowager, please leave Ye City and head to the East Capital to stand guard there. Send fifty thousand elite soldiers to escort her.”

“Send the order that he will be in a hurry.” Send the order that he will be in a hurry.

Sima Chang Zai instructed as he turned his head to look at An Zheng and the others, his eyes filled with doubt. For some reason, Sima Chang Zai kept having the feeling that he had only met these people once. Perhaps in the future, they would meet again.

Du Shoushou: “That person from earlier looked so strange.”

“Why is it strange?”

“I feel like his eyes are very bright. I keep having the feeling that I will see him again.”

“How is this possible?”

Chen Shaobai said: “We are leaving, we will never come here again. He could not go out, and he would not see her again. Even if he could, given his insignificant strength in the outside world, how could he protect himself? This person is meticulous in his actions. The Emperor is dead, and he holdeavy army in his hands. Sooner or later he will make trouble for us. ”

At the same time.

Da Xi, Peace Garden.

Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo looked at the man who was standing in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile: “After spending so many years, I succeeded in the end. Let him go to the immortal palace to kill someone, and bring An Zheng’s head to us! ”
