705: Original text: Chapter 57 Gratitude Must Be Repaid_2 Modified: 705: Original text: Chapter 57 Gratitude Must Be Repaid_2 Modified: The small mountain regained its brief silence once again.
Then a low, deep laugh echoed.
Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He glanced at the golden chariot, feeling the previous words were extremely ironic.
“This…
is your gratitude?
You want me to betray Great Chu and join the Li Kingdom?”
Indeed, nothing in this world is too absurd, only more absurd.
Xie Xuanyi knew that tonight’s meeting wouldn’t be simple.
All the words spoken by the Crown Prince earlier were just a prelude.
What gratitude, what karma.
To put it plainly, he’s just a madman.
Xie Xuanyi did not doubt that if the Crown Prince had found him back then, he would have said the exact same thing.
This guy has only one purpose.
To recruit him.
“Isn’t it ridiculous?”
The Crown Prince also laughed, smiling very amiably: “I also think it’s ridiculous…”
He paused slightly.
“Because…
the ‘karma’ on you, whether it’s more gratitude or more resentment, is really hard to tell…”
The smile on the Crown Prince’s face gradually faded.
He looked at Xie Xuanyi, his voice gradually turning ice-cold: “Do you know how many good things you have ruined for me in the Li Kingdom?”
“Because of you…”
“The Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry has suffered heavy losses!”
“Meng Kejian is dead and his Tao has dissipated!”
“The grand plan to destroy Buddhism has been sabotaged, had to be postponed, the Ninth Prince who was barely hanging on, had no strength to resist, but now has forcibly taken another breath!”
The entire small mountain in the pavilion was swept by this sudden storm!
Every word the Crown Prince spoke carried the “Divine Decree Pressure” of the Li Kingdom’s imperial bloodline, it was the disdain of a superior over an inferior, the suppression of bloodline, and also the crushing of spirit and soul.
The void trembled.
The howling winds roared.
Xie Xuanyi remained calm, his body unyielding.
From beginning to end, he never harbored any bit of luck.
He was well aware that nothing good would come of tonight’s events, so he had rooted the Martial Arts Divine Embryo early, his hands on his sword, blocking countless gales and thunders!
The Crown Prince standing on the chariot wanted to use the imperial blood of the Li Kingdom to make him kneel.
However, even Emperor Chu at his peak years could not achieve this.
Xie Xuanyi stood perfectly straight.
“The cause of the past, the effect of today, has already offset.”
“That the guilty can avoid punishment…
is already a blessing in disguise.”
The Crown Prince’s anger in his tone gradually subsided.
The intense storm slowly dissipated, the golden chariot, as dazzling as the sun, exuded a much softer aura…
The Crown Prince’s voice turned gentle again: “You can receive forgiveness, and even a reward.
You should consider yourself fortunate.”
“Have you finished talking?”
Xie Xuanyi interrupted the Crown Prince’s words.
The Crown Prince was slightly stunned.
“…If you are done, then I will take my leave.”
Xie Xuanyi extended his palm and slowly waved it in front of him, with a tear, a slit appeared in the void, revealing the true face of the mountain path not far away.
Tonight, this Zhanjiao Mountain was first wrapped in two barriers, one was the ice-cold barrier of the Xuanming Mirror, the other was the Royal Blood Barrier of the Li Kingdom’s great array.
Shedding the snow and golden light, the stone path neither appeared desolate nor splendid, it simply emitted a faint dark hue amidst the night.
The same dark hue was also emitted by Xie Xuanyi’s Sword Intent.
The Crown Prince frowned at the tear in the void.
Under the guidance of Buddha’s Light Spirit, the Holy Light of the Li Kingdom’s Royal Blood Array covered the entire Zhanjiao Mountain, but at some point, the surrounding void was pervaded by a faint dark hue, which was all Xie Xuanyi’s silently released “Destruction Sword Intent”.
Sometimes, Destruction Dao Realm is not just used to kill, but also to probe the weakest spots in the spatial array patterns.
“So you mean to refuse?”
The Crown Prince’s face showed no smile, no anger.
He silently stood on the golden chariot, watching the young man who was turning to leave.
“I refuse.”
Xie Xuanyi responded decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
The Golden Radiance Barrier was torn open a slit.
The miasma rolled in.
Countless dark Sword Qi revolved around the mountain top like swimming fish.
These sword intents, linked head to tail, pieced together into lively, vivid schools of fish.
Xie Xuanyi was merely summoning his “Annihilation Dao Realm” to survey the space, not consolidating it to attack the Crown Prince.
Not because he lacked the intent to kill.
But because he knew that even if all Sword Qi fell at this moment, it would most likely be a waste of effort.
The Heart Lake had long sent out a warning.
This guy, shrouded in Holy Light, was even more troublesome than Jing San.
Xie Xuanyi did not want to waste his Sword Intent.
From the moment Jing San appeared, the ominous premonition in his Heart Lake intensified, as if something extremely terrible was about to happen…
or perhaps already did…
He prepared to leave here.
“No one has ever refused me before.”
The Crown Prince on the golden chariot spoke slowly, without anger or sadness: “Xie Zhen…you are the first.
Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Now there is.”
Xie Xuanyi said impatiently, “I have no interest in talking to a madman…
and even less interest in cooperating with someone who wants to kill me.
The assassin sent to Lingqu City the other night was your doing, right?”
“Heh…”
The Crown Prince instead smiled at this moment.
That face under the Holy Light couldn’t help but show a look of surprise and amusement.
Sure enough, that person named Lu was right.
“Yes, it was me.”
The Crown Prince folded his arms and asked with interest: “How did you guess?”
He was certain.
The array patterns in the Divine Sea of the Lingqu City assassin had not been destroyed.
That meant Xie Zhen had no chance for a Soul Search.
The Crown Prince always believed in karma and practiced the Karma Technique.
He knew that Sky Watchers could deduce heavenly phenomena from clues, so the death soldiers cultivated in the Crown Prince Mansion, unlike other cultivators, left no traces even after self-detonation.
“Actually, I didn’t guess it in the beginning…”
Xie Xuanyi said flatly: “It was only when I saw you that I was certain of the loyalty of the Lingqu City assassin.”
“So this is the Heart Lake Sensing of a Sword Cultivator?”
The Crown Prince chuckled lightly.
“No…it has nothing to do with Heart Lake Sensing.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head mockingly: “Only a madman like you would consider whether the death soldier’s self-detonation would leave any traces, right?
I do have many enemies, but those who could afford to throw a Yin God Middle Realm into such a test while staying nameless are almost none.”
The Crown Prince indeed had considerable resources, within his vast domain, even Yin God Middle Realm Venerables were discarded without a second thought, detonated just as easily.
Upon careful consideration.
None of my enemies either had this motive or this foundation.
Xie Xuanyi sighed lightly, saying: “Actually, now I somewhat sympathize with those death soldiers working for the Crown Prince Mansion.
Even if they join the Paperman Sect, at least they can cover themselves with a White Paper Avatar before self-detonation.”
The Prince’s disregard for the lives of his loyalists was something Xie Xuanyi had never witnessed in his life.
They say Evil Cultivators are heartless.
Yet those great devils of Yin Mountain wouldn’t refine their disciples into soul banners for no reason.
The Lingqu City assassin the other night had already reached the Yin God Middle Realm, yet he was directly used as bait, probably never expecting that what looked like a regular assassination was destined to be a one-way trip.
If one strike failed, the only outcome was “forced self-detonation”.
“Everyone has to die, whether sooner or later, what’s the difference?”
The Crown Prince said nonchalantly: “From the moment he decided to become a death soldier of the Crown Prince Mansion, he no longer had the autonomy in deciding how his life ended.
It was a wise decision, at the very least I made sure he died gloriously…
I have already arranged a grand funeral for him within the Li Kingdom, he died a worthy death, and his family will be well taken care of, his sect will also be rewarded.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi fell silent again.
What’s the point of talking to such a madman?
He severed the void, ready to leave Zhanjiao Mountain.
“I advise you to reconsider.”
The Crown Prince said lazily, staring at the young Sword Cultivator’s back: “After all…
you can never go back.”
