Chapter 44 The Majesty of Heaven
Chapter 44 The Majesty of Heaven
"The end of the imperial way!"
With a single word, the world lost its color, and the stars fled in terror.
Before the supreme radiance, all colors in the world lose their meaning.
Only gold, a pure and flawless, dazzling gold, remains before my eyes.
Golden holy light descended from the heavens, like a divine punishment, piercing through the heavens and earth, instantly engulfing the entire City God Temple.
In the radiance, the bricks and tiles of the City God Temple crumbled and scattered like scraps of paper, eventually disappearing into the light.
Jade-faced Bee and Blood-flying Locust, the two from Evil Valley were like snowflakes that had mistakenly entered the midday sun of June, melting and dissolving instantly under the scorching sun.
Lin Wangbei, however, was unharmed despite being bathed in the light. He watched as his two accomplices vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of their flesh or bones, as if they had never existed there.
Looking around, in all directions, everything had vanished.
Even the ground beneath their feet melted into the light.
Why am I the only one unharmed? Why am I floating in mid-air?
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but boundless golden light.
Shock, fear, and bewilderment.
A variety of emotions swirled in Lin Wangbei's heart.
Bathed in the same golden light, why am I the only one who remains unharmed?
Not only are they unharmed, but even the hidden dangers and ailments brought about by time and fighting are gradually disappearing.
There is only one possibility that can be thought of: the person who created this phenomenon had no ill intentions towards him.
"Lin Wangbei".
In the center of the golden light, a figure suddenly appeared before Lin Wangbei's eyes.
This person was dressed in a magnificent gold and red robe, wearing a crown and a tassel.
The view from behind wasn't broad, but for Lin Wangbei, it was the only one in front of him.
Without a doubt, this extraordinary phenomenon was caused by this person.
"Assassin, womanizer, why do you associate with these scoundrels and tarnish your own and the Lin family's reputation?"
The voice wasn't deep or resonant, but rather clear and bright, characteristic of youth.
Lin Wangbei dared not underestimate him.
In the martial arts world, the strong have always been respected.
The abilities the opponent displayed far exceeded the gap brought about by any sect's origin.
"Dare to be the Pavilion, no."
The lord of Lin Family Fortress changed his address, saying, "May I ask your honorable name?"
Lin Wangbei adopted a humble attitude and earnestly inquired about the other party's identity.
The person in front of him did not answer, but raised his right hand, holding a red string between his index and middle fingers, with a jade pendant tied to the end of the string.
He loosened his fingers, and the jade pendant floated gently in the wind to Lin Wangbei's front.
Lin Wangbei quickly grabbed the jade pendant, held it up to his face, and was immediately shocked.
The jade pendant in front of me is clearly engraved with the two characters "Mingyuan".
"this?!"
Lin Wangbei was horrified.
Of course he knew about this jade pendant.
Once upon a time, he received news that his younger brother, who was an official in the capital, had been born. He was overjoyed and sent people to prepare rare and exotic treasures.
They then went to Wudang Mountain and asked the Wudang Sect Leader Qingxu to accompany them. The two of them went to Daoxuanzong together and obtained the jade from the leader of the Zhengyi sect.
On the day my nephew turned one month old, I personally hung this jade pendant on his chest.
There are only two groups of people who could possibly get their hands on this jade pendant.
The former was the royal lackey who slaughtered the entire Lin family in the capital.
The latter, naturally, refers to the surviving member of the Lin family who possessed the jade pendant.
If the person in front of him is an enemy, would they really hold back against him alone?
Could it be that there are still survivors in the Lin family of the capital?
Moreover, the other party's age.
Lin Wangbei carefully examined the person in front of him, searching for clues to find the answer, and naturally, the more he looked, the more similar the person seemed.
"Who are you?!"
The golden light around him suddenly contracted inward and gathered in the palm of the person in front of him.
The dazzling golden light suddenly disappeared, and Lin Wangbei was plunged into darkness.
Before his vision had fully returned, he felt his feet sink and he plummeted to the ground, losing all weight.
He glanced down with his remaining vision and saw a bottomless ravine.
This man's single strike not only destroyed the City God Temple, but also pierced through the entire mountain peak!
Looking around, all he saw were smooth, mirror-like rock walls. Lin Wangbei stepped on one, but before he could even exert any force, he slid right off. There were no footholds in the pit where he could use his lightness skill to gain leverage.
But this was no challenge for Lin Wangbei, whose family's specialty was finger techniques.
Lin Wangbei raised his index finger and poked it into the rock wall.
He then used both hands simultaneously, like a mountaineer using an ice axe, to lift himself out of the pit in a flash.
As he stepped onto the ground, the incredibly mysterious figure was still waiting for him with his back turned.
"Nephew?"
Before the question could be voiced, the other party spoke again.
"Be a good master of the Lin family manor."
"Don't do anything unnecessary."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wangbei saw no sign of the other party exerting any force, but the sole of his shoe suddenly left the ground.
Upon closer inspection, two dragon horns were clearly visible emerging from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic dragon head gradually rose up, and the man's feet were placed on the dragon's head.
"In a moment of danger, crush this jade; within it lies the power of one of my moves."
The full moon shines brightly, and the stars twinkle.
A golden dragon emerged from the ground, soared into the sky, and carried the person who appeared to be his nephew, flying past the full moon.
"Riding the dragon, soaring to the highest position."
"...The destiny of an emperor."
Lin Wangbei gripped the warm jade pendant in his hand tightly. "Nephew Mingyuan, is it really you?"
The place where Lin Wangbei secretly met with the people of Evil Valley was naturally a secluded spot, and the commotion there did not alert the people in Suzhou City.
But nothing stays hidden forever.
Soon, people will discover the disappearance of the City God Temple and the bottomless pit.
Some people also witnessed the spectacular sight of a golden dragon soaring into the sky.
Sheng Wansong possessed the divine steps of an immortal, capable of transcending the sound barrier, and soon returned to the Lin residence.
Taking advantage of the silent and stealthy nature of the Ascending Immortal Step, he did not disturb anyone.
When they returned to the room, Anlan was already in bed.
She sat on the bed, covered her head with the blanket, and stared intently at the doorway with her big eyes.
It also serves the dual duties of warming the bed and keeping watch.
The door was locked tight, and Sheng Wansong used the Seven No-Flaw Techniques to enter the secret room without leaving any trace.
Seeing An Lan's adorable appearance, he quietly appeared behind the girl and suddenly pinched An Lan's cheeks with his two cold hands.
An Lan remained calm and composed, raising her two chubby little hands to cover Sheng Wansong's hands.
"So icy."
"Master, I've already warmed up the bed."
In reality, with Sheng Wansong's cultivation level, how could he be affected by the cold or heat?
His hands were cold because he deliberately used the freezing properties of the Sacred Heart Technique to cool them down as a prank.
An Lan was naturally aware of this as well.
However, this doesn't stop them from having little jokes.
Sheng Wansong smiled slightly and replied, "Okay."
After saying that, he crawled into the quilt that An Lan had deliberately left open.
For Sheng Wansong, sleep had long since become insignificant.
But eating is not just about filling your stomach, it's also about satisfying your appetite.
Sleep, naturally, is also about enjoying that moment of complete mental relaxation.
Katsumansong slept very well.
Only those who have no worries or burdens can sleep so peacefully.
