Chapter 286: Ruthless
The Four Sages Lake was located at the intersection of the Jade Mist Kingdom, Verdant Mountain Kingdom, Rain Cascade Kingdom, and Sleeping Dragon Kingdom. It was the largest inland lake in the Myriad Spirits Realm and didn’t belong to any single country. Long, long ago, legends said that four immortals lived in this Four Sages Lake. The legends weren’t entirely true, but they weren’t completely baseless either. Living in the Four Sages Lake were four True Realm experts. It was said that they were guarding some ancient demonic creature here and had never left.
However, this time, the four “Sages” left the Four Sages Lake at the same time, all because their shared disciple Fan Longyu… had died. Fan Longyu wasn’t just their disciple, he was also a “key”, it’s just that outsiders didn’t know. Although the four of them couldn’t compare to the Thunder Lord in cultivation, they all had the strength of Sword Lords. Anyone who knew Fan Longyu’s background wouldn’t dare to easily offend him, let alone kill him. With the key gone, the four Sages couldn’t sit still at all. They swore to make the murderer pay the price!
With the four Sages arriving together in the Kingdom of Rising Sun, a storm of blood and gore was about to unfold.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Rising Sun, the king Mu Chenge had been in seclusion for many days. During this time, it was the crown prince Mu Changsheng who governed the kingdom. The crown prince of the Kingdom of Rising Sun had always kept a low profile. Few people even knew that he had already reached the Spirit God Realm. Although he was quite a bit older than those geniuses, reaching the Spirit God Realm at his age was no easy feat.
“Teacher, do I really have to do this?” Mu Changsheng was a bit conflicted. He wouldn’t hesitate to take action against others, but the person his teacher told him to deal with… was his own biological father.
“The position of crown prince is of no benefit to you, but if you ascend to the throne, the dragon energy of the Kingdom of Rising Sun will naturally gather upon you, greatly benefiting your cultivation. Compared to these, what do the mundane familial affections count for? People say the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising, and the grace of raising is not as great as the grace of recognizing one’s talent. Besides giving birth to you, doing things that any ordinary person could do, what else has he done? Who helped you break through to the Spirit God Realm, allowing you to change your fate? Who helped you kill Fan Longyu, allowing you to seize the workings of heaven? Compared to me, how much do his bits of favors count for? In the future, I will give you even more… as long as you listen to me, you will have everything you want.”
That eerie voice resounded in Mu Changsheng’s heart, carrying endless temptation, making Mu Changsheng seem to have made some sort of resolution as he headed towards the forbidden area of the imperial capital. No one noticed his abnormality.
A long time later, the four Sages arrived, faster than Mu Changsheng had expected. Fortunately, he had already made all the arrangements.
Everyone in the imperial capital felt four terrifying pressures coming from the sky, crushing them until they couldn’t breathe. Those feelings of anger and pain infected everyone. Just the pressure from four True Realm experts above the Spirit God Realm was enough to directly disable the defensive formations of the imperial capital.
