Chapter 281 – Chaos in Continent Center
Transcending the Nine Heavens
The full moon rose above everyone’s head and shined mysteriously. Its glorious splendor enveloped the sky and shined down on the earth.
The martial masters had concentrated for days so they were a little fatigued. Everyone was starting to guess that these two were hiding in a mouse hole. The entire citadel was frantically searching for them and they could not be found.
But at this moment, a person suddenly stared at the sky with a gaping mouth. He pointed up and hoarsely screamed!
On top of their heads were now two bright moons! One sun!
While the two new arrivals were not as radiant as true moon or sun, they were indeed present!
Sun and moon shined together!
Sunlight Saber and Moonlight Sword appeared!
Everyone flew up at once. More than forty crowns shined in the air majestically! Near and far, King level masters gathered increasing their strength!
Two directions, one in the east side of the citadel and one in the middle of the citadel!
Then, the sun signifying Sunlight Saber started to move…
“Ahwooh…” A howl sounded out and the martial masters shot up toward that direction.
The moon signifying Moonlight Saber flashed a little and immediately disappeared. It was as if the owner of Moonlight Sword discovered the strange phenomenon and sheathed his sword.
However, Sunlight Saber still remained. For some reason, this time, Moonlight Sword disappeared, but the sun of Sunlight Saber still existed as before.
But no one bothered to think about this issue right now! Still existing? Just perfect for us to come and take it!
On the ground, the owner of Sunlight Saber ran in terror.
Some distance away a group of martial masters followed in the sky with a fanatical light shining in their eyes. If Sunlight Saber was appearing now, there was no hope of escaping… The matter at hand was seeing which of the dozens of King level leaders had the strength to take the top position.
There were many people and even more martial experts! But there was only one Sunlight Saber!
Many people were starting to think about enemies, allies, and those who were capable of taking it from them.
All of a sudden, there was a swoosh. Two white streaks came up from behind them!
“Everyone! Master Chu wants this saber!” A voice yelled out as if to announce his right to this saber.
“Master Chu? F*! Who do you think you are?” All the King level masters were angry. In any case, everyone had their face covered so no one would be recognized. In such a situation, who cared about what was Middle Three Heavens and Upper Three Heavens?
Seeing the two white streaks very close to Sunlight Saber, all of the martial masters increased their speed and chased with their lives.
A distance away, in the air, Jing Meng Hun sighed helplessly.
Sure enough! It was just as the Prime Minister predicted!
Sunlight Saber was clearing moving in the direction of the royal palace! Furthermore, it was getting very close to it!
The royal palace of Great Zhao represented the imperial power of Great Zhao! It was also the gathering place of Diwu Qing Rou’s greatest opposition. In these recent years, the emperor’s forces were suppressed by Diwu Qing Rou, but he could not and would not eliminate them completely!
The royal palace was their last stand!
There were many martial experts at the royal palace of Great Zhao! It was far better guarded than the royal palace of Iron Cloud!
However… what was considered many was only mediocre.
For dealing with ordinary Jiang Hu people, they were many. But compared to dozens of King level masters of Middle Three Heavens, they were not many anymore. They were more like… a herd of pigs!
Of course the reaction of Great Zhao royal palace was extremely fast. First, there was a rain of arrows. Then, dozens of figures jumped out and yelled, “Hooligans, you dare to attack on the royal palace. Kill them without mercy!”
Right away, many people jumped up to the wall outside of the royal palace.
The saber flashed brightly with the majesty of the moon. It whistled sharply through the air as it went into the rain of arrows. Bam, bam, bam. The sounds rang out, and the bodies of guards flew into the air. The figure carried the saber and howled with excitement, “Ahwooh… Dog aunt! Dog aunt!”
He entered the palace without a care!
A white streak followed closely behind like a flash! Everyone was very familiar with it. This was the young master of the Chu clan from Upper Three Heavens, Chu Fei!
However, Chu Yang fell into laughter from Ji Mo’s dog aunt cry and almost fell down to the ground. Until now, he still did not know what the phrase “dog aunt” from Ji Mo’s mouth meant…
In the royal palace, the sounds of warning rang out from all directions!
“Halt! Halt!” The leader of the royal palace guards roared, “Stop him! Shoot!” He could already see many people rushing in from a distance.
Jing Meng Hun sighed and closed his eyes.
He thought: It is probably better if you don’t say anything. With these words, the royal palace will probably turn into a ruin…
Of course, after the scream of the royal palace guard, a group of King level masters arrogantly jumped onto the royal palace’s beautiful wall without any hesitations.
Right after, there was a boom. The wall surrounding the royal palace collapsed!
These people were all King level masters of Middle Three Heavens. Given such an urgent situation like this, they only needed to be one step behind and the security of the clan could be affected for thousands of years. How could they have any mind to pay attention to some royal palace of Lower Three Heavens?
Naturally, they jumped on it like it was flat ground and rushed in screaming and yelling!
Within moments, they collided. The royal palace guards’ blood flew all over the air!
After that, yet another dozen of King level master came like meteors. They rushed into the royal palace without a care. Right behind them was the great army of Jiang Hu. They poured in like a roaring sea!
Right away, shrill screams was heard from inside. The alarm bells rang out frantically. The sound of collapsing walls in the palace, the sound of fighting, the sound of blades coming into contact… They all mixed into a great pandemonium.
Dust and smoke rose up everywhere!
Jing Meng Hun stood in a distance with his head dropped sadly. It was done! This chaos could not be stopped!
Until now, Diwu Qing Rou still maintained that this was King of Hell Chu’s scheme! In fact, after the great clans of Middle Three Heavens verified that they were Sunlight Saber and Moonlight Sword, Diwu Qing Rou still maintained that this was King of Hell Chu’s schemed!
But it could not be stopped.
It was the same as that day when Chu Yang discovered that Diwu Qing Rou used his scheme to gather manpower, and he could not do anything. Right now, Diwu Qing Rou knew King of Hell Chu’s scheme, but he could only stand by and watch.
He did not know where King of Hell Chu was and where the sword and saber were going to hit next.
He knew things were going to happen that way, but he was helpless to stop them! For a person who was used to having total control like Diwu Qing Rou, this was true torment.
Seven days ago, King of Hell Chu had to suffer the same. Right now, things were reversed, and it was finally Diwu Qing Rou’s turn to taste this feeling.
In these few days, Diwu Qing Rou continued to calculate where King of Hell Chu would detonate this great chaos. After thinking for a long time, he confirmed that the two places would be the royal palace and Golden Horse Riders Department.
Because of this, Diwu Qing Rou gave orders to Jing Meng Hun to move all of Golden Horse Riders Department in the time span of three days and nights. Whatever they could take, they took. Whatever they could bring, they brought. All of the martial experts left.
Golden Horse Riders Department was currently holding only a few of the Jiang Hu people they just caught. The others were also moved.
Diwu Qing Rou also wanted to move these people, but they did not have enough time. Plus, there were some among them who were still rebellious and unwilling to comply. If they brought those people, there would be a chance of mishap during transport. This would be too costly.
Diwu Qing Rou could not take such a risk. Therefore, he have to leave those people behind.
Currently, Jing Meng Hun watched the royal palace in chaos and finally let out a sigh of relief. At least the royal palace was in chaos, and Golden Horse Riders Department did not run into trouble. This dark cloud had a silver lining.
It was not that Diwu Qing Rou failed to warn the royal palace to be on guard. He might have been one to not care about the emperor, but he was still a person of Great Zhao!
He even sent people to assist the royal family in getting out of the royal palace.
However, Diwu Qing Rou’s good will was completely tossed aside by the emperor. Plus, at that time, the emperor even sneered and said, “Diwu Qing Rou, do you think I am an idiot? Attack the palace? Huh, as long as you, Diwu Qing Rou don’t attack the palace, is there anyone else in the world that would cause trouble?”
When he heard the news from his messenger, Diwu Qing Rou let out a long sigh. He abandoned his effort with the royal palace.
He knew that King of Hell Chu would make his move. And he was certain!
If there was trouble at Golden Horse Riders Department, all Golden Horse Riders were martial experts. They could retreat quickly. So if trouble occurred, the damage would not be too great. However, the royal palace could not be moved! The people in the royal palace were also very weak!
Moreover, the royal palace was the heart of the nation!
Since King of Hell Chu had initiated the chaos, he would not be King of Hell Chu if he left the royal palace untouched!
But the royal family did not trust Diwu Qing Rou. They refused his good will, and Diwu Qing Rou could only give up on his efforts!
In reality, he only did it as an insincere gesture.
In the royal palace, fires broke out everywhere!
The blazing fire turned part of the horizon red. Soldiers gathered from all directions to stop the chaos.
Master Chu moved like the wind all over the royal palace in his white outfit. Instead of coming to take Sunlight Saber, he was actually assisting Ji Mo.
Whenever the owner of Sunlight Saber was in danger, young master Chu would fly down and fight fiercely. And whenever, he joined in, the King level masters could not do anything against him.
In front of everyone, who would dare to kill a young master of Upper Three Heavens’ Chu clan? Wasn’t this a death wish? There were countless witnesses here.
Young master Chu was so imposing, wherever he went, he was unhindered. During the chaos of the fight, the owner of Sunlight Saber would howl strangely, “Dog aunt…” And ran away.
Another chase began…
“It’s too dark! I can’t see sh*t. Motherf*, wouldn’t it be better if we have a few more fires?” Young master Chu yelled.
The King level masters immediately discovered that finding people in the dark was too difficult. Even though young master Chu had a rude mouth, his words were right. No one knew who started it, but everyone raced to set fires…
One King level somehow found the oil reserve of the royal palace and tossed out one barrel after another. Whether they had oil or not, they all burned…
Poof… poof… poof…
Boom… boom… boom…
This was truly… Someone wrote a poem about it: Fireworks end the night; light on fishing boats only enough to put one to sleep; Continent Center Citadel in chaos; midnight fire greets passengers.
