Chapter 230 - Its Useless Even If You Scream
Chapter 230: It’s Useless Even If You Scream
In the Flame God Sect, Tenth Peak…
The voting slips were opened one by one.
The first slip, Yan Luoying…
Second slip, Yan Luoying
Third slip, Xie Yiyi…
The fourth slip, Xie Yiyi…
The fifth slip, Yan Luoying…
Sixth slip, Yan Luoying…
The seventh slip… still Yan Luoying…
The end results were 5:2, a complete slaughter!
However, this outcome was beyond Su Wen’s expectations.
Originally, he thought that… if he did not pull Ning Shuang, Yan Luoying might suffer.
However, from the looks of it, Xie Yiyi was the only one who had won two votes.
The others all voted for Yan Luoying.
Then where did Xie Yiyi get these two votes from? Su Wen could roughly guess that she would get one herself and Cui Yumian one… After all, their relationship was still quite good.
Then why did Zhao Wanrou vote for Yan Luoying?
Actually, it was very simple. Yan Luoying had helped Zhao Wanrou speak to Emperor Zhou before.
Zhao Wanrou was grateful for her effort. After hesitating for a while, she decided to vote for Yan Luoying and not Wu Muyu, even though she had a better relationship with her.
But why did Wu Muyu also vote for Yan Luoying?
Su Wen looked at Wu Muyu in surprise, wondering what the little girl was thinking.
“Why didn’t you vote for yourself?” Su Wen asked curiously.
The others also looked at her in the same manner.
Wu Muyu pouted. “How can I compete with Sister Yan? I was just joking with her…”
She obediently approached Su Wen like a kitten and said coquettishly, “Why would I make things difficult for Brother Su?”
Xie Yiyi: “???”
So she led this lady in a circle like a dog following a bone?
That’s right. If Wu Muyu said this, then wouldn’t she be the most offending person? At this moment, Wu Muyu could then still act cute to Su Wen and ask for his favor.
Then didn’t she totally lose out this time round?
Yan Luoying smiled. She was very happy!
At the very least, this proved that she was still recognized by most people.
Although Xie Yiyi still had two votes, Yan Luoying did not care…
She was still quite open-minded about it.
It was impossible for a person to be liked by everyone. She was already very satisfied with such an outcome.
At this moment, Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen and asked softly, “Then, do you have any other lovers in Great Chu?”
That’s right, are you sure you only have one Empress?
Su Wen scratched his head and smiled. “In any case, no one entered the residence at least.”
“Hmph!” Yan Luoying knew what sort of character he was like and stopped asking.
Not entering the residence did mean he didn’t have any other mistresses outside.
——————
Under the clear sky, on the ship, Su Changqing looked at the man in front of him with a solemn expression.
Just now, this man directly landed in front of him.
At the very least, he was a Heaven Rank expert. As for what Grade he was in, he could not tell.
To the current Su Changqing, this was undoubtedly a huge threat.
No one on the ship could resist his power.
The man looked at Su Changqing and said, “Your methods are a little too ruthless. There were so many people, yet you directly sacrificed them. Have you ever thought about how much harm it will do to our human race!”
That person looked heartbroken.
The person turned out to be the peddler selling the erotic paintings back then!
(TL Note: He appeared in Ch 180, where he noted the scene of Thirteenth Uncle and the other Heaven Rank expert fighting in the sky)
The aura of the Thirteenth Master fighting with the Ma Family’s experts had alarmed him in the past. Now, he appeared once more, this time in front of Su Changqing.
Su Changqing narrowed his eyes. What was this guy doing?
Could it be that his father was among the people he killed?
Was there a need to be so angry?
Although he was complaining in his heart…
How crafty was Old Su? He immediately smiled bitterly and said, “Senior, I just want to live. My entire family has already promised the emperor that we won’t be enemies with him when we leave the capital, but he just won’t let me go! What can I do? I can only fight back bravely. In order to save myself and my family, I have no choice but to do this! This matter, I do have a portion of the responsibility, but in the end, it’s still because that emperor is overbearing.”
The man frowned upon hearing this.
Su Changqing’s words did make some sense.
He was not a fool and would not ask others to have any scruples when they were trying to survive.
In the end, one’s life was always the most precious.
Even he would not care about the lives of others if he really encountered something that threatened his life.
“Hmm… that makes sense…”
“May I ask who the Senior is…” Su Changqing bowed and probed.
“Gongsun Shi!” The man said in a low voice, “No matter what, this method of yours is too horrifying. Don’t blame me for killing you if I find you using this method again.”
Su Changqing rolled his eyes and said, “Senior, then please tell me. When I encounter danger, I can’t possibly say that I’m stretching out my neck to be slaughtered, right? I’ve never liked fighting and killing. Senior, you can go to the Great Zhou and ask around. I’ve been in the government for dozens of years, and I’ve always loved the commoners like my own children and was as pure as water. After this matter, I couldn’t sleep all night. Why don’t Senior give me something to protect myself? If others can’t kill me, I won’t counterattack. Even if they point at my nose and scold me, for the sake of Senior’s instructions, I won’t make a move! Senior, what do you think?”
Gongsun Shi stroked his chin. His words made more sense the more you thought about it!
He could not allow others to just sacrifice themselves when they encountered danger, but why did this matter feel a little off to him?
He casually tossed out a jade pendant. “This is for you. If you wear it and keep it by your side, even an ordinary Heaven Rank cultivator won’t be able to hurt you.”
Su Changqing quickly hung the jade pendant around his neck and said with a bitter smile, “Senior, this won’t do. Think about it, even though this thing’s protection is effective, if they want to harm me, they can stop me from leaving. Sooner or later, wouldn’t I still have to die? If I don’t want to die, I still have to use some methods!”
“Mm? Then what do you mean?” Gongsun Shi looked at Su Changqing in confusion. What was going on with this person? Why were his words always so reasonable yet strange?
Su Changqing smiled and said, “In my opinion, why don’t Senior accompany me? In any case, I don’t have anything to do, so I just want to protect my life. Senior, I’ll follow you wherever you want to go. In that way, I’ll be safe, so I naturally won’t utilize any evil methods. When the time comes, maybe I can give you an idea or something.”
Su Changqing knew that this person in front of him was definitely not ordinary.
The Zhou Emperor could not find him, but the fact that he could find his location showed how extraordinary he was.
Gongsun Shi was a bit confused. Why would he even have a destination in mind?
Su Changqing saw through his thoughts with a single glance and said with a smile, “If Senior doesn’t have anywhere to go, you can follow this junior. This junior just happens to want to travel the world and experience the glory of the world.”
There was nothing wrong with his words, but why did Gongsun Shi feel that something was wrong with the way he put it?
“Hey, you, you and you, why aren’t you arranging a room for Senior? What does Senior like to eat? I’ll get them to prepare. The ingredients here are all stored with spirit artifacts, and they’re very fresh!” Su Changqing suddenly instructed loudly.
In the Zhou Country, Emperor Zhou looked at his completely changed appearance. He could not accept it at all!
For the first time in a very long time, he did not go to court.
However, even the Great Zhou Heaven Rank experts could not figure out what had happened!
Finally, Emperor Zhou took out his astrolabe!
After infusing his True Qi into it, two illusory figures appeared!
“Yu Shensu! Zhang Qian!” Emperor Zhou’s voice also turned delicate and sweet now.
“?? Who?”
Yu Shensu’s voice sounded from the jade plate.
However, the moment she saw Emperor Zhou, she suddenly laughed out loud. “Hahaha! Why have you become like this?”
Yu Shensu rocked back and forth in laughter.
The veins on Emperor Zhou’s forehead looked as though they were about to explode.
Zhang Qian’s face was solemn as he frowned. “How did you even get to such a state?”
“I was plotted against. Now, I’ve become neither male nor female! Do the two of you have any ideas?” This was Emperor Zhou’s goal of contacting them.
In the past few days, he had already put in a lot of effort. He had even tried several kinds of royal antidotes.
It was totally useless!
Yu Shensu gloated, “What sort of ideas can I have for this? Hehe, but I gotta say, you look pretty good like this.”
“Yu Shensu! Behave more decently!”
“Who are you calling indecent? Do you believe that I’ll tear down your palace? I know that you’ve lost two more Heaven Ranks! If we really fight now, our Jade God Sect isn’t afraid of you!”
“You!” Emperor Zhou could not refute her.
It had to be said that two Heaven Ranks had a huge impact on the situation.
In a situation where the combat power was roughly the same, an additional ordinary Heaven Rank expert would pose a great threat to the other Heaven Rank experts at lower grades.
At this point, Zhang Qian said coldly, “Stop arguing!”
The moment he spoke, Yu Shensu fell silent.
Zhang Qian frowned before continuing, “The two of us don’t have a choice either, but I think you can announce it to the world. After all, there are many people in the world. Perhaps there might be someone who will have a Heaven Rank medicine that can change their gender!”
Emperor Zhou’s expression was unbelievably ugly.
He did not want everyone to know that he had become a monster that was neither male nor female!
But what could he do?
Thinking about it, Zhang Qian’s words were still somewhat feasible. As long as there was a reward for the method to change gender and a Heaven Rank medicinal pill, it would be fine as long as the reason was not mentioned!
Finally, Emperor Zhou posted a Royal Decree. As long as he could offer the method to change his gender and the Heaven Rank elixir, the person would be heavily rewarded!
As for the reason, he did not write it!
However, it was impossible for him to never attend court!
In the end, the Zhou Emperor tightened his chest and put on a hoarse voice as he attended court!
However, his change was still discovered by the ministers!
However, the Zhou Emperor was not the Third Prince of Chu. No one dared to question him, and no one dared to say anything either.
One look at Emperor Zhou’s expression and knew that he did not want this matter to spread.
However, the rumors still spread…
The officials who spread the rumors were eventually slaughtered by Si Tu and the Secret Shadow Guards.
However, this news had already spread among the commoners.
Although they did not know if it was true or not, there were still people discussing it for fun. This was especially so when they saw Emperor Zhou’s Royal Decree. It seemed to confirm the authenticity of this rumor.
…
In the Flame God Sect, Ouyang Yiyi and Ouyang Bubai were having an argument!
“You still want to stay here? We’ve already stayed here for many days!” Ouyang Bubai said in a deep voice.
Ouyang Yiyi said, “I don’t care! I haven’t bid farewell to Big Brother Qiang! I want to wait for him.”
The siblings had indeed lived here for many days.
Dongfang Ju would not chase them away either.
To him, this was nothing even if they wanted to stay.
However, to Ouyang Bubai, the mission was already completed. He had also sparred with many disciples of the Flame God Sect in the past few days.
He realized that not everyone was as terrifying as Su Wen.
After making some friends, he wanted to return!
However, Ouyang Yiyi had mixed feelings towards Su Wen.
What f*cking pure friendship?
It was all a lie.
“If you want to leave, leave yourself. In any case, I’m not leaving!” Ouyang Yiyi replied seriously.
“You… I’m so angry!” Ouyang Bubai had no choice but to take the initiative to walk out of the room to look for Su Wen.
When Ouyang Bubai arrived at the Tenth Peak, Wu Lie had already descended the mountain. He could now be considered a disciple of the Flame God Sect.
After all, since he was staying in someone else’s place, he might as well join them.
In any case, he did not belong to any before this as well, so it did not matter.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a man rushing angrily up the peak to fight against the strange plants.
Wu Lie had put Ni Hongxiao’s medicine on himself. As long as it was sprayed on, the flora would ignore them.
“Brother, is there something you need to do up the mountain?” Wu Lie smiled. “I have medicine here. After you spray it, these plants won’t attack you!”
Sensing Wu Lie’s kindness, Ouyang Bubai calmed down and said, “Thank you, brother.”
Wu Lie took out the medicine from his pocket and sprayed it on him. He then asked with a smile, “Brother, why are you going up? There aren’t many people on this mountain!”
“I want to find Su Daqiang!”
“? Su Daqiang?” Wu Lie was not totally stupid. After some thought, he knew that it was Su Wen. After all, Su Wen had used this name back in the Moon Worship Sect. He grinned and said, “Why are you looking for him?”
Ouyang Bubai sighed, “Isn’t it all because of my sister?”
“Huh?”
Wu Lie said in surprise, “Your sister knows him?”
Seeing his surprise, Ouyang Bubai was a little confused. “That’s right, what’s the problem?”
“Then is your sister pretty?”
“Yes, why?”
“Hehe!” Wu Lie said in all seriousness, “If I were you, don’t look for him. Hurry up and go home to look after your sister.”
“Brother, why do you say that?”
Wu Lie whispered, “That kid is extremely skilled at dealing with women. Now that your sister knows him, it’s unknown when she will be seduced by him. When the time comes, it will be too late for you to cry!”
He had been through this before.
Ouyang Bubai looked at Wu Lie suspiciously before thinking about his sister. Whatever this guy said seemed to make sense.
He said with a bitter smile, “But I looked for him because I wanted to leave. I’m not a disciple of the Flame God Sect to begin with. I came to deliver a letter. I don’t know what that sister of mine is thinking, but she insisted on saying goodbye to him before leaving. What do you think I can do?”
Wu Lie slapped his thigh. “See, didn’t I just tell you? She has been seduced by him, right? I knew it would be like this! What are you doing as a brother?”
Ouyang Bubai had a guilty expression, filled with regret: “I was too careless! Too careless!”
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Lie and cupped his hands. “May I know how I should address you?”
“Wu Lie!”
“Ouyang Bubai!”
Ouyang Bubai anxiously asked, “Brother Wu, in your opinion, what should I do now?”
Wu Lie stroked his chin.
What would he do?
“Of course just take your sister and make a run!” Wu Lie replied with a chuckle.
In the meantime, he thought to himself, ‘Su Wen, it’s not that your brother is not good enough. It’s just that you have too many wives. If there’s one more person added in, wouldn’t my sister have another opponent?’
He put his arm around Ouyang Bubai’s shoulder and brought him to walk down the mountain. As he walked, he said, “Take the chance while your sister and Su Wen, oh no, Su Daqiang still haven’t developed much, hurry up and run! Otherwise, it will be too late if we meet again! When the time comes, there will be a huge problem if they really fall in love!”
Ouyang Bubai pondered for a moment. That would be the best course of action.
He looked at Wu Lie suspiciously and asked curiously, “May I know what your relationship with Su Daqiang is? Why are you helping me?”
Wu Lie sighed and said, “I’m his brother-in-law…”
“Ah? Brother Wu, you…”
Wu Lie sighed and said, “Back then, my carelessness turned into a thousand years of regret. I was too flippant and lost my sister to him! Now that I see that you want to follow in my footsteps, I can’t bear it!”
“To tell you the truth, he already has 17 to 18 wives now. Think about it, if your sister goes in again, what good days will she have?” Wu Lie exaggerated Su Wen’s number of wives and concubines without hesitation.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Ouyang Bubai took a step back and bowed to Wu Lie. “Thank you for your kindness, Brother, for telling me the truth. I’ll take my sister away now. If Brother needs anything in the future, you can come to the Thunder God Sect to look for me anytime!”
Wu Lie watched as Ouyang Bubai left, nodding his head in satisfaction.
“Hehe, look at this smart me!”
He praised himself before turning around.
As he turned around, he suddenly realized that Su Wen was standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
“Yo, yo, yo, my good brother-in-law… How do you explain your actions just now?” Su Wen teased.
He was not angry. He was not interested in that Ouyang Yiyi.
However, he would not let Wu Lie off so easily…
For a moment, Wu Lie felt a little awkward. He had spoken ill of others behind their backs, but in the end, the other party was behind him. That was too embarrassing.
“Aren’t I just worried that your waist won’t be able to take it? You have to take care of your body!” Wu Lie said after holding it in for a long time.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Alright, to thank you, I see that your martial arts have improved quite well recently. How about we spar?”
“Hehe, you brat! You have to look at the owner before beating a dog, let alone my son?” Suddenly, a person appeared behind Su Wen.
Wu Kunhu!
Although Old Wu usually beat up Little Wu very smoothly, it did not mean that he could watch as Little Wu was being beaten up by Su Wen!
Su Wen smiled and turned around. “When did Old Mount Tai arrive? I was just joking with Brother Wu.”
“Hmph! Don’t just think about yourself. You should also think about the marriage of your brother-in-law!” Wu Kunhu said in a low voice, “I came to look for you to tell you that I’ll go receive Su Yu. You don’t have to worry!”
Su Wen was overjoyed. He had been worried about this for the past two days.
He then said, “Then I’ll bring my men back to the capital first. When the time comes, I’ll trouble Lord Mount Tai to help me send my Second Brother there!”
“Heh, you’re quite demanding, kid!”
Wu Kunhu turned around and was about to leave when Su Wen suddenly asked, “Lord Mount Tai, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Why didn’t you enter the Star Martial Mystic Realm back then?”
Wu Kunhu glanced at Su Wen and said, “Have you sensed anything?”
“Yes.” Su Wen nodded again.
Wu Kunhu said in a low voice, “The Saint Qi in the Star Martial Mystic Realm is extremely beneficial to martial artists. It can make it easier for them to comprehend heaven and earth and pass through the comprehension barrier. However, this mystic realm was set up by the Nine Saints of the Human Race in order to nurture talents in the past. What they want to nurture are people who act according to their thoughts. Therefore, there are often mental cultivation barriers involved!”
“For those who enter the realm, after experiencing the heart tempering, will inevitably develop some of their seed of thoughts within themselves.”
“It’s inevitable that they will end up being hesitant about some things!”
“That’s one of the reasons. The second reason is that I don’t think I need anyone’s help!”
Wu Lie couldn’t help but interrupt, “Then why did you still let me in?”
Wu Kunhu sneered. “If you don’t enter, your chances of breaking through to the Heaven Rank will be miniscule! Even now, it’s not that high!”
“I…” Wu Lie was speechless. This father was really too ruthless. He directly trampled on his son’s pride!
Su Wen fell into deep thought.
Recently, he had been reflecting on his actions.
How should he put it? Su Wen was never a noble person to begin with.
Of course, there was also a trace of pity for those unfortunate in his heart.
However, ever since he came out of the Star Martial Mystic Realm, Su Wen’s actions were always affected by the mystic realm’s heart tempering hurdles.
The kindness in his heart was growing.
It affected his actions.
But this time, Su Changqing sacrificed himself!
After returning, Su Wen fell into a conflict of consciousness.
The person closest to him had done the cruelest thing possible.
This clash of consciousness made Su Wen very uncomfortable.
He began to reassess himself…
Ji Yuchen’s death indeed infuriated him.
But if he really thought about it, it would not be to the point where he would immediately make an impulsive move to assassinate the Crown Prince!
If it was the original Su Wen, he might have used more perfect and ruthless methods to think of a way to bring down the Crown Prince. This would be more reliable and smooth.
But this time, when he found out that Ji Yuchen was dead, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.
He even tried to assassinate him!
It was fine if he did not look back, but this time, he realized that something in his heart had been constantly growing.
This caused his actions to be slightly off the norm.
After Su Changqing died, his heart was filled with hatred!
His most primitive thoughts had also broken through the shackles and were released.
To Su Wen, Su Changqing’s actions were completely acceptable.
His own life against the lives of others!
No matter how many people died, their lives were worth less than his. Furthermore, there were even people that Su Changqing cherished together with him at that time.
However, in the dead of the night, a voice in his heart kept repeating to him that this was wrong.
Su Wen felt that something was amiss and finally couldn’t help but ask Wu Kunhu.
Upon hearing Wu Kunhu’s words, he finally understood!
Why did he perform such actions? It was because of the mystic realm.
Wu Kunhu said in a low voice, “A cultivator’s heart isn’t easily affected by external objects. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that one’s heart is as hard as steel. However, it’s difficult to control a cultivator like this. Those methods of cultivating the heart are meant to make your actions more in line with their wishes after you break through to the Heaven Rank.
It’s not a big deal, but since you can sense it, it means that you’ve broken through this restriction. If you have nothing else to do, just focus on yourself and return to your original heart in a few days.”
At this point, he looked at Su Wen and praised, “I didn’t expect you to be able to break through the shackles on your own. This is also a good thing for you!”
Su Wen smiled bitterly!
That’s right, if it wasn’t for Su Changqing’s shocking behavior this time, it might not have been so easy.
Furthermore, he was also the person closest to him.
This created the strong conflict of consciousness in his heart, or else, he would never realize that at some point in time, his actions had already been controlled by something.
Just the thought of it sent shivers down his spine.
He did not like this feeling of being under someone’s grasp.
Wu Kunhu smiled and said, “Of course, there’s an even simpler method. You can directly find a small city to slaughter. I guarantee that after one time, you’ll completely get rid of after seed of thoughts.”
He shook his head and sighed. “The thoughts of the Nine Saints are good, but the hearts of people are hard to predict. In reality, many people who come from the Star Martial Mystic Realm will often fall to another extreme once they escape this control.”
Su Wen shook his head and smiled. “Now that you mention it, I understand a lot. I will adjust it well.”
“Alright, it’s good that you know! I’ll leave first!”
Wu Kunhu flew straight into the sky!
Su Wen stared intently in the direction Wu Kunhu had flown in.
“He’s truly a prodigy of a generation!” he sighed.
Wu Lie came over and shook his head. “My old man is really quite handsome!”
“And then? Are you prepared to be beaten up?” Su Wen clenched his fists and asked.
Wu Lie was shocked. “Huh? Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell on you when he comes back?”
Su Wen said disapprovingly, “Hehe, when the time comes, I’ll already be done. Sister Muyu will help plead for me, so it won’t be that bad!”
“Father! Save me!”
“Tsk tsk, it’s useless even if you scream your throat out!”
