Chapter 365: Chapter 223: Empyrean Kong Shi, Long Time No See (End of This Volume)
“This is our teacher...”
“How ridiculous that he wanted to take me as a disciple initially, and I was unwilling...”
Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue murmured to themselves simultaneously.
“Our Fu Family, it seems we have truly found a great support!”
“Earlier I was wondering why Yingying chose someone with such low cultivation; after all that fuss, he turns out to be a true genius!”
The people of the Fu Family looked at one another, excitement evident on their faces.
While their family appeared glorious on the surface, in reality, they relied on many powers to remain unchallenged, but now, this standout individual closely related to them would deter anyone from targeting the women of the Fu Family.
“This matter must be reported to the headquarters of the Heaven Mandate Hall at once!”
“With such talent, we must not make an enemy of him, we must foster a good relationship...”
At this moment, everyone at the Heaven Mandate Hall was at a loss for words.
Just moments ago, Zhang Xuan publicly executed Shi Yunjing, which made them furious and eager for revenge, but now that feeling had faded.
He could kill even those of the Galaxy 9-dan; many of them together wouldn’t be enough to take him on!
“Look quickly, those bronze tripods...”
In the midst of their shock, a sudden shout rang out.
Unable to help themselves, everyone looked up and saw the bronze tripods floating in the air suddenly shake, then fly towards the surrounding mountainsides, embedding themselves back into the mountains.
Boom!
As the copper tripod returned, the ground shook immediately, and in the next moment, colorful flowing lights from the sky descended fiercely, transforming into a pure white light that rushed towards Empyrean Kong shi standing not far away.
In an instant, Empyrean Kong shi was enveloped by the light, and an ethereal River of Destiny appeared above him, stretching endlessly and vigorously roiling.
“The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony acknowledges its master, it will be forged any time now, Zhilan Valley is about to collapse!”
“Run quickly...”
Feeling this scene, everyone immediately realized something was wrong and looked up in unison.
Zhang Xuan too couldn’t help but look towards the sky.
He saw huge cracks appearing in The Firmament above, like a deflated gas membrane or shattered glass dome.
“With the destiny inherited, the Heaven Mandate Domain can no longer hold...”
“Exactly, a Blood Tribute is needed! And they, are the offerings.”
Empyrean Kong shi shook his head: “Humans die for wealth as birds die for food... It’s their choice!”
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
Rituals, not only comprised various intricate rules but also involved reverence towards the heavens and the powerful, as well as restrictions on human nature.
Truly strict rituals, in offering to the heavens, required not just the placement of artifacts but also sufficient lives.
This referred to human sacrifice.
Empyrean Kong shi must have understood the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony and lacked only the final life offering for recognition, thus intentionally drew people here and gathered them all in this place, using the Bronze Tripods to incite them to massacre each other...
No wonder it was said Emperor Shen Ling was not destined for this.
Because from the beginning, his fate was set, no matter how hard he tried or how much he sacrificed, he was just a pawn in Empyrean Kong shi’s inheritance of the divine mandate.
Upon reaching the mountain peak and not seeing Empyrean Kong shi, he guessed all these reasons, thus letting everyone fight over the tripod, indifferent to the outcome.
However, he wasn’t sure at the time; now seeing Empyrean Kong shi admitting it, he was certain.
Yes, it was their choice.
If not for the greed in their hearts, how could they have died here, and how could they have become sacrificial offerings in someone else’s design?
“Teacher, do you, do you know him?”
While he was reflecting, Yu Xiaoyu, Liu Mingyue, and others looked towards Empyrean Kong shi with awe, disbelief in their eyes.
After arriving in Zouyi City, although they had been cultivating in seclusion, they were not completely ignorant of outside affairs and had heard about the “Mandate Chaos Master” and knew the kind of reaction their appearance would provoke throughout Heaven Mandate Hall.
If he was indeed the Mandate Chaos Master pursued by the Heaven Mandate Hall of Zouyi City, and was so familiar with the teacher, even joining forces just now to kill Emperor Shen Ling...
Could it be that the teacher was also a Mandate Chaos Master?
“Empyrean Kong shi and I are both teacher and friend!” Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.
The three disciples looked at each other, unable to speak anymore.
The teacher’s words had already explained everything.
“Hahaha, the so-called Mandate Chaos Masters are just a title they concocted out of fear!”
Guessing their thoughts, Empyrean Kong shi smiled slightly, looking at Zhang Xuan: “Teacher Zhang, long time no see!”
Leaving the Empyrean and the New World together to come to this place, this was technically their first meeting in the Source World.
Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, looking back and spoke softly: “Empyrean Kong shi, long time no see!”
