Chapter 2350: Celestial Eyes

Random recommendation:

What was the true purpose of Hell No Door's sea voyage this time? Although the leader didn't explicitly state it, intelligent individuals like Wu Guan Wang had a good idea. After all, his recent actions in stirring up trouble for the Jing Country people were at the leader's instruction.

But as soon as the Middle Ancient Heavenly Road appeared, he knew this endeavor was hopeless.

If it were just one Lou Yue, plus a few young heavenly talents from Jing Country, and a few not-yet-awakened strange beasts... even with the Mirror World Platform's Fu Dong Xu! Their Hell No Door people were numerous and skilled, capable in both civil and military matters. While they couldn't defeat them directly, they could still cause some trouble.

Now the power of the Dragon Emperor's nine sons had all been summoned back, and the nearby Cang Sea was connected, time and space all crossed... With Jing Country making such a grand move, what else did they have left to play with?

It was like an ant trying to shake a mountain!

He didn't terminate the task upon receiving the leader's message; he had already seen the unfavorable situation and was originally slipping away, then detoured halfway there. His bright and wise brother had slipped away even faster than him.

In fact, upon seeing Qin Guang Wang setting up the altar, his heart had already grown cold by half. This old boss didn't look at the situation! He still wanted to oppose them? Did he dislike not being miserable enough last time? Just when he was watching the organization about to be rebuilt, and was also planning new business ventures in his heart, that Middle Ancient Heavenly Road unexpectedly collapsed! Collapsed...

Did the old boss perhaps still have a trump card?

Equality Country? One True Dao?

Wu Guan Wang's shock at this moment was at least half genuine!

Qin Guang Wang stood in the center of the ice-carved altar, his hair hanging down and his eyes looking up, for a moment also in a daze.

In the Wan Xian Palace struggle, he and Chu Jiang Wang joined forces, yet still suffered a major loss at the hands of Tian An Ping. It was only by relying on their understanding of Wan Xian Palace, geographical advantage, and various pre-arranged measures that they managed to escape with injuries. This was nothing to complain about.

His judgment of the Jing Hai Plan had shown a huge error, completely underestimating Lu Qiu Wen Yue's methods. After a series of attempts, he was unable to cause any impact on this plan. This was what made him deeply wary – he was never careless, but some things, with his current ability and vision, were simply unthinkable.

Just like a blind man touching an elephant, he touched the elephant's leg and actually thought the elephant was a pillar.

Relying on Ji Yan Yue's soul-deep information regarding the Jing Hai Plan and some scattered clues, he knew Jing Country was cultivating the nine-son strange beasts and thought he had seen the general outline of the Jing Hai Plan, considering it Jing Country's scheme to seize power in the near sea. He was determined to stir up trouble in Jing Country and Qi Country's struggle for the near sea... How could he have imagined that with Ji Yan Yue's identity and strength, she was actually not qualified to know the full extent of this plan. Even less did he imagine that the Jing Country people would actually summon the power of the Dragon Emperor's nine sons from the Middle Ancient era and directly throw them into the Cang Sea to wipe out the sea race once and for all!

The vast near sea was merely a prize after victory, a meal on the plate that was taken for granted, and fundamentally not placed on Jing Country's chessboard.

He had to admit, this vision indeed surpassed his as a killer.

Looking back now, his various arrangements in the near sea, especially the part targeting the Jing Hai Plan, were indeed too weak...

But there was also nothing to be depressed about. He already knew how difficult the road ahead was; now it was just more specifically difficult.

What made him dazed was that Jing Country's Jing Hai Plan had such a grand outline, almost crushing everything in its path, yet fatefully collapsed.

With or without him, it pushed forward. With or without him, it failed.

His Yin Guan could of course be irrelevant.

Then You Country's sacrifices of so many people over so many years, then Zeng Qing's death... what was the meaning of it all?

Wu Guan Wang's noise snapped him out of his daze. He impatiently glanced at this fellow: "What are you yelling about? I haven't even started yet!"

"Ah!" Wu Guan Wang, under the mask, his eyes, deliberately wide and round, stared: "You haven't started, and it was cursed into collapsing?! My dear mother, you are truly the ancestor of cursing, from ancient times to now—"

"...Less nonsense." Qin Guang Wang stretched out his hand: "Where is the head I want?"

Wu Guan Wang hurriedly moved out a coffin, chuckling: "Good or bad, it's a divine descent; just cutting off the head is too wasteful... I brought the whole thing, old boss. If you don't need it, don't destroy too much, alright..."

City King didn't say a word of nonsense, honestly assisting at the side, his hands and feet nimbly opening the coffin lid—

A simple thin coffin, inside lay a corpse quietly. Middle-aged appearance, wearing brocade clothes, already stiff for a long time. The state of death was not miserable; not even a few bloodstains were visible. It seemed Wu Guan Wang cherished him very much.

Qin Guang Wang raised his hand and remotely summoned, then dug out one of this person's eyes, holding it in his hand. But he only looked at it once, then casually crushed it. Sticky fluid overflowed from his fingers, dripping onto the altar. This process was a kind of cold description.

"The thing?" He asked emotionlessly.

"Oh! You mean this, ah!" Wu Guan Wang put on a suddenly-realized expression, hurriedly took out a small ice crystal square box from his bosom. In the box was placed a jade stone carved like an eye. Occasionally, light flowed around it, then was swallowed by it.

He presented the box, fawningly laughing: "This thing is somewhat rare. I was afraid of improper preservation or bumping it, so I kept it for you first!"

Qin Guang Wang didn't say anything. He never minded the strange behavior of his subordinates, these Yanluo. Cheating him, their leader, was not a rare thing either. As long as they did it cleverly and didn't go too far, he fundamentally didn't mind. After all, people lived in the world, each relying on their ability.

He just casually took the ice crystal square box and looked at it carefully for a moment.

The jade pupil in the box was from Wan Xian Palace, originally a pair. One was in the hand of a traitor from Hell No Door, of course he recently wrote a letter to ask for it back— truly shameless! The organization had retreated, and he still remembered the Immortal Pupil.

The other one was taken away by Da Ze Tian's divine descent elder Tian Huan Wen during the island fight. Another one that didn't return.

Now it could be said to be "returning to its original owner"!

Tian Huan Wen was now lying in the coffin; there was no need for other handover.

This strong individual from the Tian clan who attacked Ulie, contended for the Wan Xian Palace inheritance, and participated in many secret events, just lay there quietly, just like the initial Ulie, peaceful.

Qin Guang Wang had made many preparations for this sea trip, among which included arrangements against the Tian family.

They said Tian An Ping was crazy; was his Yin Guan's fierce reputation real?

If Tian An Ping really dared to come and snatch things from him, it would be bringing trouble upon himself. Killing one Tian Huan Wen was not enough! If it weren't for the tense sea situation, he had originally intended to kill off the main figures of the Tian clan on Ba Jiao and Chong Jia islands.

"When coming over, didn't cause any trouble, right?" Qin Guang Wang asked casually.

"Won't!" Wu Guan Wang patted his chest: "I handle things; can you still not be assured? Brother Ming and I both came over quietly, not even making a fart on the road, no traces! But—"

He tentatively said: "We passed by that Ice Phoenix Island and thought the island scenery was quite good!"

Qin Guang Wang took out that jade pupil and casually pressed it into his own eye socket.

This time in Wan Xian Palace, although Tian An Ping intervened and he couldn't fully occupy it, he also got what he wanted.

At this moment, the Immortal Pupil returned to his body, vaguely already opening some secrets. An ancient map scroll unfolded in his primordial spirit sea... Wan Xian Come to Court!

All these fluctuations calmed down inside his body, not perceived by others.

Strands of power shuttled around his eyes. But he appeared absent-minded: "We are killers, openly priced and doing business. We are proper businessmen. Can you restrain your bandit habits?"

Although his voice was light, Wu Guan Wang still didn't dare to disobey: "Ha, look what you're saying! This is reporting to you, wanting to honor you. Without your command, I won't do anything. I am the type of person who least likes to cause trouble!"

Qin Guang Wang didn't look at him, hooked his finger, drawing out a blood marrow from Tian Huan Wen's corpse, hooked it back to the altar, casually depicting, while saying: "Alright, put away this corpse; it's your trophy."

"Good!" Wu Guan Wang happily ate this sweet date, and again started climbing up the pole, looking at the bloody patterns on the altar: "Old boss... Who are you dealing with with this?"

Qin Guang Wang lifted his eyes, quietly looking at him.

Wu Guan Wang shrank his neck: "If you don't want to say, pretend I didn't ask."

Qin Guang Wang just hooked up the corner of his mouth: "A core member of the Tian clan, a divine descent expert, his pupil fluid, blood marrow, who do you say I can deal with?"

Tian clan people are of course used for the Tian clan. Among the entire Da Ze Tian clan, only one person was qualified to make Qin Guang Wang use such a formation... Was Qin Guang Wang injured by Tian An Ping?

Truly... well beaten.

"That thief and I cannot coexist under the same sky!" Wu Guan Wang gritted his teeth hatefully!

Qin Guang Wang laughed heartily: "Wu Guan Wang's loyal heart can truly be mirrored!"

"Old boss, you really shouldn't doubt me!" Wu Guan Wang's eyes held a just-right amount of grievance and indignation: "My loyalty to you was tested in the Central Heavenly Prison! No matter how severely Sang Xian Shou tortured, humiliated, and tormented me, I didn't say a word pointing to you. I would rather die than—"

"Enough!" Qin Guang Wang waved his hand, interrupting his endless talk: "Sometimes you really should learn from City King. Look how steady and determined he is, and doesn't talk nonsense."

City King lowered his head: "This subordinate only does what is within their duty, only knows to listen to the leader's words, and be loyal to the organization."

Wu Guan Wang stood there, only giving Qin Guang Wang a sad look.

"Go, you're not needed here." Qin Guang Wang directly dismissed them. The Yanluo's revenge wouldn't be achieved overnight. The second confrontation with Tian An Ping was imminent, and he himself didn't have a great deal of certainty. Leaving these two loyal colleagues by his side was truly not a wise choice. "Go find a place to stay, behave, and wait for a while. Don't act on your own without my command."

"Wishing the leader victory on the first attempt!" City King humbly bowed and saluted, then turned to leave.

Wu Guan Wang packed up the coffin. Before leaving, he still left a bottle of wound medicine, frequently looking back, his emotions very sincere: "Old boss must take care of your body."

The two walked on the glacier, one foot sinking deep, the other shallow.

"You say old boss set up the altar here, will he really act here?" Wu Guan Wang asked.

"Of course not," City King said.

This place was already known to them. With Qin Guang Wang's character, he would definitely change the location.

"I think so too," Wu Guan Wang shrugged his shoulders.

They walked a few more steps.

"Can Ice Phoenix Island really not be touched?" City King couldn't help but ask.

This time, the two of them went to Ba Jiao Island and killed many, seized many benefits, and ate until their mouths were full of oil. They inevitably had thoughts about Ice Phoenix Island, which the Stone Gate Li clan had operated for many years. They had even scouted it repeatedly when passing by. Qin Guang Wang's sudden prohibition really made him somewhat reluctant.

"Since Qin Guang Wang has already spoken," Wu Guan Wang said decisively: "We just won't take risks anymore."

"Is that so?" City King felt slightly regretful: "We even specially sent a message to Li Long Chuan, telling him to pay attention to Jing Country's black turtle and understand the importance of the Jing Hai Plan... Just like this, we drew him away, reducing Ice Phoenix Island's defense... Now it's all wasted effort."

"What 'we'?" Wu Guan Wang immediately sharply cleared the relationship: "The message was sent by you, the idea was yours. It has nothing to do with others!"

"..." City King was silent for a moment, stirred his hand: "Big brother, can I ask you something?"

"You ask. I may not agree," Wu Guan Wang said.

City King turned his head to look at him, saying very seriously: "In the future, can you not say my real name in front of the leader? Although a man shouldn't change his name when sitting or standing, he understands cursing so well. What if he curses me?"

"Don't test him. This little bit of intelligence I'm willing to share with you." Wu Guan Wang calmly said: "He doesn't need to know your name to curse you."

"Big brother, you always think of me like this... Then change the request." City King's eyes were bright: "Can you change back? This current appearance... I'm not too used to it."

Wu Guan Wang went straight ahead: "If you feel awkward calling me big brother, then call me big sister later."

City King trotted forward, keeping pace: "Eh, big brother—"

Wu Guan Wang interrupted him: "In this life, I am unique and never mind the views of others. If you cannot adapt, it's your problem, not mine."

With a crack, the ice layer underfoot was stepped upon, like a mirror swept by light.

But the shadow in the mirror was already blurred.

Chen Zhi Bo quietly sat in front of the mirror.

The contemporary master of Diao Hai Lou had sat in this small courtyard for many days. At this moment, appearing in the mirror, his face was haggard, emaciated to the point of making him somewhat strange.

During this period, he had indeed fully focused on thinking about the sealing technique, but once his mind withdrew, the overwhelming reality returned. Bearing the Diao Hai Lou under the current environment, he often felt breathless, only in a solitary quiet room could he breathe heavily.

The wind from the window swept in, restlessly spinning in the room.

It particularly stopped at the desk, but the two sheets of paper spread on the desk could not be stirred by it no matter what.

These two sheets of paper were not special in themselves, but the content they bore had different weight.

The left one was densely written with his final thoughts on sealing the "Heaven Human State". Beside it, almost level with the desk, was a pile of books, and a paper basket full of waste drafts, which were the rehearsals for the content of this thin piece of paper.

The other open paper was a letter.

This was a letter sent by the sect's practical elder Yang Liu. The letter simply described the current situation in the near sea, saying nothing else, considered a report to the sect master who was alone in Shen Continent.

Neither paper could be blown away by the wind. Because the former bore the weight of thought, and the latter loaded... Chen Zhi Bo's mood.

Jing Country's long-prepared "Jing Hai Plan" had, in a magnificent way, declared failure.

The collapse of the Middle Ancient Heavenly Road shook the entire East Sea. Although he was far away in Chang Country, as the master of Diao Hai Lou, he could feel it remotely.

Wei Xun's lifetime arrangements were at this point all declared useless.

A lifetime of effort down the drain.

Although Chen Zhi Bo had early refused to continue advancing cooperation with Jing Country and had also moved Diao Hai Lou to Small Crescent Island, strategically fully contracted and prioritizing the preservation of the inheritance, unwilling to bear any risk, after Jing Country forcibly pushed the plan, it was hard to say there were no other expectations in his heart— aside from anything else, that was the last trace left by his master's lifetime.

Ancestral master achieved transcendence, Diao Hai Lou was greatly victorious in the last mi jie war, dominated the near sea, and would also necessarily occupy an important position in the Jing Hai Plan, and borrow the Middle Ancient Heavenly Road to complete the great cause of Jing Hai once and for all...

Truly a shattered dream in the mirror.

Finally, he stood up, swaying walked to the inner room: "Tired, go sleep."

This sentence was without context, but he knew that person could hear it.

But he also didn't know if that person, at this moment, could still be considered a "person".
