Wuzhen dies
"So long as you follow me and help me create my glorious image, you will resolutely be in my grasp! Precisely my most intimate comrade in arms. I guarantee…" Meng Wuzhen said one word after another, his whole face revealing a high-spirited expression. His victory within grasp, he said, "… someday the Western Sky Prime Minister position will be yours! Moreover… I’m still willing to become sworn brothers with you. From now on we’ll show each other total devotion and sincerity; I as the Western Sky King, and you following as the free and unfettered visitor!"
Meng Wuzhen, with absolute self-confidence, said in a sinking tone, "This is my, Meng Wuzhen’s, promise! But it also is grasping true authority. Under only one person and above ten thousand, the free and unfettered visitor!"
Meng Wuzhen’s eyes were smiling. "I believe that Monarch Ye is an intelligent person, and won’t misunderstand my sincerity!"
So far, Ye Xiao was involuntarily laughing despite trying not to.
Even if it’s Ye Xiao, he couldn’t help but admit that this Meng Wuzhen was still truly a talented person.
His own evaluation just now was clearly too low!
"I believe you’ve already seen my sincerity." Meng Wuzhen said, "I myself remained here, using the Western Sky Crown Prince’s bloodline and suffering serious injury, sacrificing the Hall of Returning Nature Headquarters’ over 27,000 followers, all those lives, and in addition the promise of the future Sky King, giving you the Prime Minister’s seat, as well as a kingly nobility title. This shows my highest and most genuine sincerity, paying this kind of cost to obtain your cooperation! How’s that?"
Meng Wuzhen’s face had a look of complete assurance on it.
He has all the assurance in the world that this can move Ye Xiao. He was convinced that apart from some of the princes and princesses of the skies, there wouldn’t be any person capable of resisting this kind of enticement!
Ye Xiao was no more than a leader of a Jianghu organization. How many grand scenes could he be capable of seeing? How could he possibly be an exception?!
…
In the strictest sense, if Meng Wuzhen had used these kinds of conditions for roping in the Brotherhood, perhaps the Brotherhood would have already become the subordinates of the Hall of Returning Nature.
It is exactly as Meng Wuzhen said, this kind of enticement is indeed something that the overwhelming majority of people cannot resist its attraction.
So much so that even Ye Xiao couldn’t help but acknowledge this.
Therefore, he laughed.
Hearing Ye Xiao’s clear laugh, Meng Wuzhen’s facial expression turned even happier than before. "Brother Ye is really a person with a clear view of things!"
Ye Xiao shook his head, and said, "Crown Prince Meng, you don’t need to feel that happy, you’ve misunderstood the meaning of my laugh. I only laughed because you give too little, and your conditions are even lower, it really has no persuasiveness to it."
Meng Wuzhen, hearing this, couldn’t help but stare. "Give too little? Conditions are even lower? It seems that Brother Ye’s appetite is not small, eh, that’s also no matter. I will be the Western Sky King, surveying the whole world, what could possibly be outside my cost to give, say it… what do you want? I’ll promise you whatever you wish!"
Ye Xiao lightly laughed. "You can’t give me what I want, even at that time when you become the Western Sky King, you still can’t give it to me… because what I want is the entire Human Realm Upon Heavens… the supreme dictator’s position. Do you understand?"
Meng Wuzhen’s face immediately changed colors!
At this one moment, he suddenly realized that he was mistaken, that he wrongly regarded one matter, one very frightening thing!
He should have escaped.
He should not have remained there to take that risk.
Meng Wuzhen absolutely hadn’t thought that Ye Xiao… really had this sort of ambition!
Meng Wuzhen took a deep breath, and said, "Since Brother Ye has this sort of hope, I also
Meng Wuzhen was also regarded to be a quick witted person. He modified his tone immediately to retain a grasp of the situation and walked back, he really was outstanding after all.
Ye Xiao chuckled. "An idiot’s dream, the biggest fear of his imperial dream is waking up. Meng Wuzhen, your beautiful dream is completely finished and empty, you should be at ease as you go on your way. In any case, I don’t want to say anything else to you, not even one word."
(TLN: Reminder, the Meng in Meng Wuzhen’s name means dream)
Meng Wuzhen, frightened and anxious, opened his mouth. "You…" His voice had not yet fallen off when his whole body suddenly went stiff in an instant.
He blankly lowered his head to take a look, but looking under his neck, astonishingly there was a lengthy and brilliant sword blade, as well as a river of blood gurgling out. He was suddenly aware that the nape of his neck had become ice-cold…
"Indeed, the sword tip already passed through my throat?" Meng Wuzhen blankly thought.
Was he really mistaken?
Meng Wuzhen’s complexion instantly turned a deathly grey color. His whole person was softly suspended on the blade of Ye Xiao’s sword, and he lost his breath, breathing his last.
At the same time, a white smoke rose out of the top of Meng Wuzhen’s head. Astonishingly, it was a shrunken version of Meng Wuzhen’s figure. Looking at Ye Xiao’s expression, his whole being was afraid, and his eyes looked like he wanted to fade into the wind and leave.
Shortly after, a grand strength suddenly arose from inside of Meng Wuzhen’s soul, wrapping and protecting Meng Wuzhen’s Divine Soul. It rapidly rose, clearly meaning to escape.
Ye Xiao clearly felt an imposing and kingly qi arrive from inside this guarding strength.
Obviously, this was Western Sky King’s Divine Sense projection, sent to preserve his son’s body. It was a final life-saving method for defending his son’s Origin Spirit Divine Soul.
So long as Meng Wuzhen’s Origin Spirit did not perish, his Divine Soul still surviving, reconstructing his corporeal body would be no more than a common matter for a powerhouse the level of the Western Sky King, not even worth mentioning!
Suddenly, just as the kingly qi wrapping Meng Wuzhen’s Origin Spirit Divine Soul was just about to escape, a mythical looking strand of vine appeared suddenly in midair. This vine had countless tentacles that instantaneously twisted around and stopped Meng Wuzhen’s soul. In the next moment, a fantastic space suddenly appeared.
The Western Sky King’s Divine Sense that had wrapped up Meng Wuzhen’s Divine Soul, as if it discovered something, suddenly showed its strength to struggle free of that vine’s tentacles, and entered the mysterious space like lightning.
However, the next moment, there was a bitter and desperate shout that arose froom within.
This sound actually didn’t have any sort of noise or sound wave whatsoever, but instead formed a tsunami-like wave through every person on the scene’s Divine Sense. "… Three Feet Red…"
Ye Xiao lightly laughed. "Right, this is exactly Three Feet Red Earth!"
"It seems like I can only kill Meng Wuzhen, and the Sky King’s Divine Sense projection will inevitably escape. That is certainly unavoidable, but it is a pity, therefore I just announced this welcoming trap of a situation." Ye Xiao lightly said. "Once you’ve entered Three Feet Red Earth’s Origin life space… Even if it is the Sky King’s Divine Sense, it also has nowhere to escape to!"
"Er Huo, this is appropriate for you."
Meng Wuzhen’s corpse toppled over loudly at this point, his two eyes roundly staring wide open, without a soul looking blindly at the dusky grey sky. He was dead without being able to peacefully close his eyes.
"Meow…"
Inside the space, Er Huo spontaneously let out a joyous excited cry.
Jade Phoenix and Red Phoenix watched Meng Wuzhen’s corpse fall over, the two people’s eyes instantaneously turning dark grey and lifeless.
Young Master… just died like this?
Young Master was the Western Sky King’s pereson, how could he just die like this?…
Ye Xiao calmly looked at the two women, remaining silent for a long time.
Jade Phoenix’s tender body swayed for a little while, suddenly producing a bitter laugh. "Young Master, take care! Young Master lived his life nobly, how could he not have someone to attend to him at his side…"
Suddenly there was a booming sound, and Jade Phoenix’s mouth spit out a wad of purple blood, her body softly tumbling over, her life ceasing and broken.
At almost the same time, another booming sound arose from Red Phoenix’s body, and she also collapsed to fall in the dust.
Two women, one right after the other, broke their own Divine Souls and obliterated the final bit of their vitalities.
Young Master’s Divine Soul was entirely extinguished, we also must die to our Divine Souls extinguishing, then and only then is it okay.
If it isn’t the same method of death, just in case we don’t go to the same world as the Young Master… what would we do?
Jade Phoenix’s body dropped down vertically. Her two hands suddenly extended, and she did her utmost to grasp Meng Wuzhen’s head and cover his dejected and defeated facial features under her chest…
Young Master died in such a sorry fashion, he surely wouldn’t have wished for other people to look at his appearance in this moment, I must serve to obstruct his face…
Red Phoenix’s body also softly dropped down, actually sitting as she fell, and afterwards slowly leaning against him, slowly snuggling up and seemingly entering Meng Wuzhen’s embrace…
Her clear and charming face, at this one moment, unexpectedly revealed a perfectly contented smile…
Again there was no sound.
Young Master, while you were alive, I wanted to snuggle up and enter your embrace like this… however, Young Master didn’t take care of me… Now, I… at last die in his embrace, this can also be regarded as… suitably fulfilling my wish…
…
