Chapter 1392: Chapter 1386: Believing The World
Fortunately, the lone wolf wasn’t covered in scars. The lone wolf arched its back, its fur bristling, claws gripping the ground, staring with blood-red eyes at the predators in all directions.
“A cesspit.”
These two words were naked sarcasm, humiliating the hearts of everyone from the Imperial Dynasty.
The humiliated never believe they themselves have anything to repent for or reflect upon; they will only consider it the ignorance and foolishness of the other party.
Wei Gang’s face flushed red, yet he seemed to treat the immortals, half-immortals, and the hundreds of Void Refinement cultivators hidden by the Wenren family as if they were nothing, seemingly oblivious to all the truths Wenren Yiyuan had just exposed.
Wenren Yiyuan was dead. His corpse was stored in Li Wei’s spatial ring.
Yet, when this Dao-Glimpsing realm cultivator lost his life, a hint of the joyous satisfaction of a successful scheme and the tranquility of everything going exactly as expected still lingered at the corners of his mouth.
Wei Gang took a deep breath, and his expression subsequently softened a bit.
“Has Your Excellency had enough? I am Wei Gang, and I know Your Excellency’s purpose in coming to the Imperial Capital.
You are angry because of the matters currently facing the Southern Frontier. I am the same; what has happened in the Wenren family… grieves me to the core.”
Even as he spoke, Wei Gang’s heart was filled with boundless dread.
At this time, even the Junior Commander of Destiny did not dare to show the slightest bit of anger. Three days… he actually felt that the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor had become even stronger!
Wenren Yiyuan was a Dao-Glimpsing realm expert after all.
But just now, with only a single strike, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor obliterated Wenren Yiyuan!
Only they, these Body Integration realm mighty figures, could understand exactly how horrifying the events of that split second truly were.
For a Body Integration realm expert to be killed, their Dao Field must be destroyed, and the Dao within their body must be shattered.
But in the instant the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s long spear pierced Wenren Yiyuan’s body, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s spatial rules had already covered Wenren Yiyuan’s Dao Field with mirror surfaces one after another.
From these mirror surfaces emerged hundreds of rules; it was an immortal art.
Of course, he didn’t know that it was the ‘Spirit-Pointing Art’, but it didn’t prevent his shock in that instant, nor the dread that lingered now without dissipating.
“Had enough? Grieved to the core?”
Li Wei looked at Wei Gang with a playful expression.
This Dao-Integration realm mighty figure he had never met before didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed.
Even with everything in the Wenren family fully exposed before his eyes, this man Wei Gang still relied on his seniority, acting as if all the great truths of the world were spoken from that old mouth of his.
And those cultivators of the Wenren family who had emerged from Medicine Mountain also saw that Wei Gang and the others had no intention of making a move against them.
Hundreds of them actually gathered to the left and right of Wei Gang and his group.
The Imperial Dynasty cultivators merely furrowed their brows.
Aside from the disgust in their eyes, they made absolutely no moves, even though they had already heard Wenren Yiyuan’s treasonous words before his death.
This world was far too mad, so mad that it almost drove Li Wei crazy along with it.
He pointed at the Wenren family cultivators. “You want to protect them?”
“They cannot die.”
Wei Gang exhaled a long breath, the wrinkles all over his face tightening at this moment.
His voice, accompanied by a sigh, sounded exceptionally desolate amidst the falling snow of this February day.
“The Imperial Dynasty needs them. They are not immortals, nor are they demons. They are cultivators of our Imperial Dynasty, and also the greatest hope of our Human Race.”
Wei Gang looked heavily at Li Wei.
“Nearly five hundred peak Void Refinement cultivators. Over many years, following the cooperation between the Imperial Dynasty and the Blood Moon, they have accumulated a sufficient foundation.”
It seemed that even Wei Gang felt unwilling in his heart.
As a member of the Imperial Protectors Guard, they controlled all the karmic merit of the entire Imperial Dynasty.
Originally meant to shelter the nation and the world, to protect the Human Race, yet now he had to stand in front of the calamity-bringing Wenren clan!
His voice gradually grew agitated and loud. “Your Excellency, do you truly not understand?!!”
“What the Wenren family has done has already happened. Nothing can be changed now.
We cannot change the appearance of the Blood Moon, we cannot change the revival of the immortals, and we cannot change the internal strife and external threats the Human Race is currently facing!”
“Look at them. So many Void Refinement experts. After Ancestor Lan dies, we will add nearly five hundred Body Integration experts!”
“Among them, there will be those who break through to the Mahayana realm, and even a new Great Emperor will emerge.”
“The Imperial Dynasty can no longer withstand any more turmoil and failure!”
Wei Gang gradually broke into a roar, his voice echoing throughout the Wenren estate.
The corners of the Wenren family cultivators’ mouths curled up, while the pursuing cultivators lowered their eyes.
Li Wei merely furrowed his brows. His voice was calm.
“So the cultivators who lost their lives to the war, advancing wave upon wave in the Western Frontier, deserved to die.
The cultivators of our Southern Frontier were born to flee, to be displaced and homeless.
My descendants were supposed to lose their clansmen because of this, and they were supposed to die to the Wenren family’s schemes.”
“Ancestor Lan also deserved to die; he shouldn’t have been the Dao Ancestor.”
“My clansmen deserved to face the invasion of the immortals.
Everything is our fault. We should have even committed suicide to serve as nourishment for your Wenren family.”
Hearing this, the Junior Commander of Destiny took a step back.
Because the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor was wiping his spear again.
“No one deserved to die! Why do you just not understand? Why?!!”
Wei Gang roared, old tears actually streaming down his face.
“The people of the world did not deserve to die, and you did not deserve to die either!
But things have already reached this point; nothing can be undone. Why don’t you look toward the better side? We should all have a longer-term vision!”
“These filthy deeds can all be buried in the long river of history. The sacrificed people can never be brought back, but we can rush toward the future, living in a broader, more glorious Imperial Dynasty!”
“The future is created by us, do you truly not understand this?!!”
Wei Gang glared furiously at the Wenren family cultivators.
“There is a best possible solution for everything.
What happened with the Wenren family has already happened. As long as they swear a blood oath to fight for the Human Race forever, they will all be the most loyal members of our Imperial Dynasty.”
“And as for your Azure Cloud Li Clan, believe me. Let them go, and I guarantee with my life that I can solve all the troubles currently facing the Azure Cloud Li Clan.
I will lead the grand army of the Imperial Dynasty to resolve the Blood Moon!”
“…”
Li Wei remained silent. The February wind was bone-chillingly cold. He looked at the hysterical Wei Gang; Wei Gang was clearly serious.
Then, using those cloudy eyes, amidst his tears, Wei Gang made the most sincere plea. “Believe me. Treat it as believing in the world.”
Li Wei stared quietly at Wei Gang for a long time.
He then slowly surveyed everyone around him.
Those prying divine senses were extraordinarily quiet; like mere bystanders in an audience, Wei Gang’s words had guided them from contemplation to helplessness, and ultimately to consensus and acceptance.
Li Wei realized that he had lost—on this day, he had been thoroughly and utterly defeated.
He had unexpectedly exposed the Wenren family’s hundred-thousand-year secret, yet it had not turned the people of the world against them as he had anticipated.
He had intended to use this revelation to make the major factions of the Imperial Dynasty rally behind the Azure Cloud Li Clan, hoping they would at least join in mutual indignation to eradicate the Wenren family, or rise up together to confront the immortals.
Yet what was torn away was not the Wenren family’s filthy veil.
What he had laid bare was the Imperial Dynasty’s ugliest, lowest bottom line—a threshold so fragile and wretched, preceded by a trail of other principles that had already been shredded to pieces.
Their bottom line was in continuous, relentless retreat.
People like Wei Gang would mount the moral high ground, championing their despicable actions as paragon virtues, shamelessly proclaiming that everything they did was for the greater good of the mortal realm!
“I will go beg Her Majesty the Empress to grant the Southern Frontier to you!”
The most brilliant prodigy of the Wenren family, Wenren Zikun, stepped forward.
His eyes still held the smoldering hatred of seeing his Patriarch perish at the hands of the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, yet he understood Li Wei’s terrifying strength.
Suppressing the urge for vengeance within his heart, seeking only to make the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor leave, he addressed Li Wei with earnest deference before the watchful eyes of the Wenren Clan cultivators:
“The Azure Cloud Li Clan is already the Guardian of the Southern Frontier, yet you possess only Azure Cloud Prefecture.
If you leave the Imperial Capital, the entirety of the Southern Frontier will belong to you.
Across the Prefectures of the Southern Frontier, every single title held exclusively by your Li Clan. You will command a million immortal soldiers!”
“All of this will be honored once Ancestor Lan perishes!
I swear, after this ordeal is over, we will return the complete lands of Azure Cloud Prefecture to you; all we ask is that you withdraw from the Southern Frontier.”
Seeing the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor remain completely silent, he gritted his teeth and added,
“Furthermore, there is the post of the Grand Sage Master! Our Wenren family will petition the Empress to institute this brand-new office for you.
This position will rival the Grand Preceptor and Imperial Preceptor, standing even above them! Someone from your Azure Cloud Li Clan will stand beneath only one, and above tens of millions!”
“And then there are the immortals! Our Wenren family has exploited the immortals for so long, and a final battle will inevitably come.
Twenty immortals—half of them Heavenly Immortals—will all be delivered into the hands of the Li Clan.”
“I can swear a blood oath!”
The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor remained utterly silent.
Everyone stared fixedly at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
These terms offered staggering, astronomical benefits; they could hardly fathom the heights the Azure Cloud Li Clan would reach under such an accord.
The cold wind stirred the black mist around the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
For a prolonged silence, he merely wiped his long spear, the only sound being the violent snapping of the black mist whipping in the freezing wind.
“Forty immortals, three Spirit Treasures!” Wenren Zikun gritted his teeth once more.
The Wenren clansmen furrowed their brows—it was far too much, yet none stepped forward to stop him.
“Accept it,” Wei Gang sighed deeply.
“The Southern Frontier can never win. Your stubbornness will only bring greater calamity upon the Southern Frontier, and those calamities will drag the entire Imperial Dynasty into an inescapable abyss.”
“Fuck the ancestors of your eight generations.”
Discarding the torn cloth ripped from Wenren Yiyuan’s corpse, Li Wei’s eyes turned crystal-clear as he uttered the words with casual nonchalance.
“What?” With tear-blurred eyes, Wei Gang froze.
The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s voice had been too quiet; he had not heard clearly.
“I said, fuck the ancestors of your eight generations.”
The moment the words left Li Wei’s mouth, spatial rifts throughout the entire Wenren estate trembled violently.
As looks of sheer horror washed over everyone’s faces in that fleeting instant—
The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor had already materialized beside Wenren Zikun.
This junior, who had just set down an astonishing accord for the entire Wenren family, looked down with wide, disbelieving eyes.
His soul began to convulse, and the light in his eyes instantly dissolved into a vacant haze.
He could not comprehend why—after offering such immense grace to the Azure Cloud Li Clan—the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s long spear had still mercilessly impaled his body.
And so, laden with bewilderment and despairing grievance, he plunged into eternal oblivion.
“Zikun!!!”
The cultivators of the Wenren Immortal Clan roared in grief and fury.
The cultivators throughout the Wenren Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land snapped back to their senses amidst the instantaneous turn of events as wind and clouds surged wildly!
Li Wei wrenched the long spear out, roaring amidst the torrent of techniques converging from the heavens:
“Fuck the ancestors of every single one of you eight generations!”
Spatial power detonated instantly.
Reappearing right before the furious and disillusioned Wei Gang, cultivators charged toward him from all directions.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear lunged forward, Li Wei following close behind, the Tai Chi Dao method detonating with sudden, explosive force.
In his eyes, only a chilling glint remained, locked upon the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear before him.
A roar cannot awaken those feigning sleep.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, it seemed, could not either.
Then there was only one choice left…
Put them to sleep forever!
