CapĂtulo 1869: Chapter 1868: Nine Bends Bone Melting Array, Shattered
But now that the Monster Race has shown weakness, is there still a choice?
Xu Zimei didnât know.
He could only fight for more rights for the Monster Race, and then allow the Myriad Clans to unite and form an alliance.
Perhaps by then, they might be able to resist the human race.
He always had to find something for the human race to do, otherwise their power would grow too rapidly, all thinking of challenging Heaven, and he probably wouldnât find peace.
Upon hearing Immortal Lvâs words, Xu Zimei smiled and said, âThen I will consider it, report to the Ancestor of Monster, and give you an answer?â
âI await your good news, Xu Zimei,â Immortal Lv smiled and said.
âIf you miss this opportunity, Young Master Xu, it will be very difficult to enter the ranks of immortals.â
Why say so? The rank of immortals is not just about status.
The resources he can enjoy in the Heavenly Court are already at the core level.
In cultivation, wealth, companions, methods, and land are all indispensable.
Wealth is the first among them.
One must know how many people in the Heavenly Court are vying to enter the ranks of immortals.
Xu Zimei just nodded.
Finally left the Immortal Palace.
âŠâŠ
After Xu Zimei left, beside Immortal Lv, the void was torn apart by a hand.
An elderly man in a golden robe slowly emerged.
The old manâs face was veiled in haze, making it hard to see his features, his body long and gray hair draping over his shoulders.
âGreetings, True Monarch,â Immortal Lv looked at the old man and saluted.
âThat young manâs not honest,â the old man spoke.
In fact, he had always been here, just hiding in the shadows, with Immortal Lv in the open.
The matter of the Monster Race is of great importance.
How could they only send a plague god like Immortal Lv as the only envoy?
Itâs merely to mislead others.
âWhat do you think?â the old man asked.
âEverything relies on True Monarchâs intention,â Immortal Lv replied respectfully.
âI know you always wished to be a deity of merit, teaching and healing, not participating in these battles.â
The old man said, âBut the Heavenly Court is one with you, this time having you here, you need not resent it, the Heavenly Emperor has his plans.â
Truth be told, Immortal Lv was indeed unhappy inside.
With so many gods in the Heavenly Court, why send a plague god like him for this kind of matter?
He just wanted to be a deity of merit.
Treat the world, spread knowledge.
That was enough.
Heaven and Earth would reward those of merit.
Clearly evident during breaking through, the tribulationâs thunder was weak for those of merit, sometimes not even striking.
So Immortal Lv was always resistant to coming to Great Qin.
Wouldnât it be nice to cultivate immortality quietly?
âWhatâs the plan?â Immortal Lv asked.
âIf the Monster Race is willing to comply, the Heavenly Emperor has decided to let you manage a large portion,â the old man said.
âWhy me?â Immortal Lv was puzzled, for there were many immortals in the Heavenly Court, and it wouldnât be his turn.
âYour heart is solely on merit, only you wouldnât discriminate against the Monster Race, able to lead them well, assimilating them with the human race,â the old man replied.
âIf it were others, the Monster Race would probably just end up being suppressed.â
âBut I see that Young Master Xu doesnât seem willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Court,â Immortal Lv said.
âSince the Ancestor of Monster sent him here, the matters here should be his responsibility.
But he evades, saying he needs to discuss with the Ancestor of Monster, probably as an excuse.â
âI also saw it, and since itâs an excuse, he cannot be allowed to stay,â the old man snorted coldly.
âDid he really think my Heavenly Courtâs Immortal Envoys can be killed so casually?â
âI wonât be killing anyone,â Immortal Lv spoke first.
âNo need for you to kill, the Monster Race needs a lesson. To come to Changâan so blatantly is to not respect our Heavenly Court,â the old man said.
âOnce that person is resolved, the Monster Race will naturally surrender to my Heavenly Court.â
âŠâŠ
Leaving the Immortal Palace, Xu Zimei didnât think much.
In fact, he had sensed that so-called True Monarch hiding in the shadows long before, but was too lazy to expose him.
The Monster Race had a contact point in Changâan City.
Xu Zimei didnât go there, as he didnât want to expose this contact point, but summoned Gang Yan instead.
âHow are the matters of the Hundred Clans?â Xu Zimei asked.
âIâve already reorganized within the Gangmeng Tribe, and recently penetrating outward.â
âCurrently, the three strongest amongst the Hundred Clans, aside from us Gangmeng Tribe, are the Fierce Tiger Tribe and the Immortal Wing Tribe.
As long as we subdue these two tribes, the major task will be accomplished.â
âThen hurry, with Bai Meng helping you, first fight and conquer them, then slowly win their hearts, and donât let Great Qin notice.â
Xu Zimei waved his hand.
âIâm calling you to help me deliver a message.
Send it to an antique shop on Azure Dragon Street.â
The antique shop was naturally the Monster Raceâs contact point.
Xu Zimei wrote a letter and had Gang Yan deliver it.
Next, just wait for Chaosâ reply, and this matter should be done.
Lu Yueqing came back at noon, hoping to open a handicraft shop in Changâan City.
She wasnât good at many things, but had nimble hands, capable of making clothes.
She wanted to open a handicraft store.
If such a store is well run and gains fame, it could achieve something.
Xu Zimei sponsored her, after all, it was part of the journey, going with the flow and it required no great effort.
Money was of no use to Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei probably had so much money that he worried about not spending it all.
Iâm not interested in money.
âŠâŠ
At night, still staying at the Royal Inn.
After dinner, Xu Zimei pushed open the door to his room, entered, and only felt the void before his eyes begin to distort.
His vision was enveloped by a blanket of white.
âIllusion?â
He frowned slightly.
Yet he felt no fear, continuing to walk deeper into the white mist, while the void around him kept distorting.
Finally, after walking for a while, the white mist in front of him began to dissipate, revealing several mountain peaks ahead.
The peaks were shrouded in Immortal Qi, and atop each peak sat a figure distorting the firmament.
From these figures emanated an astonishing aura.
For a moment, winds swirled and clouds billowed, and the firmament seemed to fall.
âSixteen Immortals of the Firmament, here to send you on your final journey.â
There were sixteen people on the peaks.
A grand voice echoed from above.
A substantial golden gaze fell upon Xu Zimei.
âIf you end yourself, you may avoid pain.â
Xu Zimei chuckled, asking, âDid the Heavenly Court send you to kill me.
Truly ruthless.
One moment negotiating terms, the next moment killing.â
âThose who defy the True Monarch must die,â came a rebuking voice, and for a moment, thunder rumbled like a great clap.
âWhat a pity, youâll only realize who the real villain of this world is when you meet me,â Xu Zimei drew Tyrant Shadow.
The blade emerged with a Heaven-shaking rise.
He said calmly, âCome at me together, I will personally deliver your bodies to the Immortal Palace.â
âArrogant words,â one of the Sixteen Immortals of the Firmament said calmly.
âWeâve long been waiting with a formation for you, today you will not escape, even with wings.â
âThe Nine Bends Bone Melting Array was prepared just for you.
In just ten minutes, your Life and Death Soul will dissipate, leaving a puddle of pus.â
Following the words, the entire formation was already filled with sinister winds.
