The Devil Troop!
Although Li Tianlan had a hunch in his heart, when he heard Qin Weibai’s words, he still felt a little cold inside.
The Devil Troop was the most mysterious force of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
It was also the trump card that w.a.n.g Tianzong could still play a role in Recchi City even though he was imprisoned tonight.
But Li Tianlan had no idea what the Devil Troop was.
Therefore, amidst the uneasiness and anxiety, the sudden appearance of the Devil Troop gave him an absolute surprise, and it then disappeared in an instant.
The other party’s method of mutual destruction was extremely tragic.
But Ka.s.s Rotter’s fell also laid a solid foundation for Li Tianlan’s defeat tonight.
It was definitely a big surprise for Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette and took a drag on it. “Who on earth consisted of the Devil Troop?”
“They seem to be alive and yet dead. They are a group of monsters whose state is between life and death.”
Qin Weibai whispered, “Both their state and body are very special, so they can control murderous weapons.”
Li Tianlan vaguely understood. He looked at Qin Weibai and asked, “They can control murderous weapons?!”
“That’s proof of Ka.s.s Rotter’s death.”
Qin Weibai said, “The moment the Holy Punishment of Void was fired, the one who was really controlled was not Ka.s.s Rotter but the Holy Punishment of Void. More precisely, it was the betrayal of the murderous weapon that led to Ka.s.s Rotter’s death.”
The Holy Punishment of Void was under control.
The betrayal of the murderous weapon.
Li Tianlan looked at Qin Weibai as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.
Dongcheng Rushi came over and asked curiously, “Will the murderous weapon also betray its master?”
“The murderous weapon itself is a piece of metal with life. Murderous weapons have intelligence, so they are extremely powerful. It’s just that we can’t understand this form of life for the time being. We can only make use of their power.”
Qin Weibai said, “Anything with intelligence and life can betray its master.”
Li Tianlan suddenly said, “But it’s not easy.”
Qin Weibai nodded. “But it’s not that difficult for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Tianlan, you should have heard that the 13 murderous weapons came from the same piece of life metal. In the beginning, the ancestor of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai got this life metal after defeating a powerful opponent.”
Li Tianlan squinted thoughtfully.
Qin Weibai’s voice was a little cold. “The murderous weapon has life, and it is indeed not easy to make it betray its master, but since it has life, it naturally has thoughts. What if the Holy Punishment of Void thought that the person from the Devil Troop was of the same kind as it at that moment?”
Li Tianlan suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Weibai with burning eyes.
Qin Weibai’s tone was calm, as if she was telling a simple fact. “To make the murderous weapon think that the person is of the same kind as it, there are certainly a small number of broken pieces of the murderous weapon in the body of every member of the Devil Troop.”
“You mean…”
Li Tianlan’s voice suddenly became hoa.r.s.e than ever. “Is every member of the Devil Troop a murderous weapon?”
“In essence, every member of the Devil Troop was once an Invincible Realm expert of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Their bodies will age and their realms will decline, but in order to protect the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, they accepted the transformation of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai willingly. The transformation is very complicated, and the most important thing is to embed the damaged pieces of the murderous weapon. Embedding the broken pieces of the murderous weapon will help the intelligence of the broken pieces and their body skills merge and keep their bodies alive at all times. After that, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai will adopt a method similar to freeze to completely seal these people up.”
Dongcheng Rushi suddenly said seriously, “They will die.”
Qin Weibai took a look at her and nodded. “The w.a.n.g family of Beihai possesses Immortality Potions. The reason why Immortality Potion’s production is scarce is that a few of the herbs are hard to be found in the world. But the rarest materials are not used to make Immortality Potions. Do you understand?
“For example, it may take 60 kinds of precious materials to make a pure Immortality Potion, but 80 kinds of materials are needed to make a finished Immortality Potion. The 20 kinds of materials added later are used to neutralize the side effects of the Immortality Potion.
“Without the 20 materials, the Immortality Potion is still the Immortality Potion with a huge amount of vitality and even more powerful vitality, but it is also a kind of poison that can make a person meet his/her fate. After adding the 20 medicinal materials, the Immortality Potion will be the most precious because it has no side effects and can be given to people to take.
“But for the Devil Troop, what they need is only the simplest Immortality Potion. What they need is vitality. This medicine, together with the frozen environment, can keep their bodies alive for a long time. However, the toxin of the Immortality Potion will cause them to lose all the memories gradually. The intelligence of the remaining parts of the murderous weapon and the vitality will combine with each other, turning them into monsters that only obey the commands. They don’t feel pain and don’t even think much. Their only goal is to complete the task. They used to be experts in the Invincible Realm from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Even though their Martial Arts have declined over the years, their bodies, stimulated by Immortality Potions, will always remain in an almost peak condition. Under such circ.u.mstances, the realms they show may be the Fire-flaming Realm or the Thunder-shocking Realm, but that’s not important. The most important thing is that their defense, speed, and even strength are in the Invincible Realm.
“That’s the Devil Troop of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. The w.a.n.g family of Beihai replaced the human soul with the intelligence of the remaining pieces of the murderous weapon and the vitality of the Immortality Potion, turning the former superiors of the Invincible Realm into war machines that can only fight by instinct. That’s why the Holy Punishment of Void regarded the person from the Devil Troop as its own kind and betrayed Ka.s.s Rotter.”
Li Tianlan took a deep drag on his cigarette.
As the thick smoke swarmed into his lungs, he suddenly began to cough violently.
The delicate hands of Dongcheng Rushi and Qin Weibai almost fell on Li Tianlan’s back at the same time. Qin Weibai took a gla.s.s of water and handed it to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan drank up all the water in the gla.s.s. After a moment of silence, he asked, “How many men are there in the Devil Troop?”
“I don’t know the exact number either, but it’s not less than 20. The oldest member of the Devil Troop has even slept for hundreds of years. As far as I know, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai once used the Devil Troop on Mount Dibing more than 20 years ago, and 12 of them acted that time. If I’m not wrong, the 12 people who came to Eastern Europe this time should be the same.”
Qin Weibai said softly, “The vitality of the Immortality Potion can only keep the biggest effect in the frozen state, otherwise, how could they have lived for hundreds of years? In the eyes of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, the Devil Troop is the most extravagant consumable. They used it once more than 20 years ago. Even if they were immediately frozen, the damage to their vitality should be very serious. Once the troops enter the secular world, they won’t live long. This time, w.a.n.g Tianzong should plan to exhaust them in East Europe.”
Li Tianlan nodded and took a deep look at the screen.
The battlefield on the screen became extremely chaotic again.
However, the situation had been completely reversed just now.
Rafael and Situ Cangyue had already met up.
Mellad also came close to them.
Meanwhile, around them, the five superiors of the Invincible Realm—Paul, KingTong, Lagos, Husteel, and Violet, were frantically besieging and attacking the three superiors of the Invincible Realm.
On the ground, the elites of Rothschild finally arrived at the battlefield, followed by the elites of the Morton family and the Violet family.
There were battles all over the messy streets.
Li Tianlan stood up and looked at the screen. His eyes gradually became sharp.
“There’s still a chance.”
Qin Weibai said softly, “As long as Aresis and Charlemagne arrive at the battlefield, there is still hope to turn the tables.”
“I won’t wait any longer.”
Li Tianlan suddenly said, “If I wait any longer, they can’t hold on.”
Charlemagne and Aresis hadn’t arrived yet.
But they would definitely be there.
Paul created the present situation with great effort. He would definitely be clearer than anyone else that the delay would be equally unfavorable to them.
As a result, even though Paul had just exhausted a great deal of his physical strength, his current offense was still extremely fierce.
Situ Cangyue couldn’t hold on any longer.
The same was true of Rafael.
“I’ll go,” Li Tianlan said as if he was talking to himself.
He nodded and repeated, “Well, I’ll go.”
Dongcheng Rushi opened her mouth subconsciously. She glanced at Qin Weibai and fell silent again.
Li Tianlan would definitely join the battle.
But compared to the plan, it was much earlier and riskier.
“You should do what you want to do.”
Qin Weibai walked to Li Tianlan’s side and stroked his face. “Don’t worry,” she said softly. “You’ll win as long as you’re willing to go all out.”
“Of course.”
Li Tianlan smiled and turned off the screen in front of him.
There was no point in watching it.
If he could not turn the tables tonight, his advantage in Recchi City would no longer exist. Nothing he had in Eastern Europe would exist, nor would the future of the Li family.
So he could not afford to lose.
He must win.
Li Tianlan clenched Qin Weibai’s palm on his face, feeling the tenderness and fragrance. He took a deep breath, looked at Dongcheng Rushi, and calmly said, “Wait for me to come back.”
He turned and walked to the door. At the same time, he took the communication device inside the Snowdance Corps with him and said lightly, “a.s.semble.”
In an instant, the entire Office of the President got noisy.
The room became extremely quiet.
Dongcheng Rushi looked at Qin Weibai quietly.
Qin Weibai watched Dongcheng as well.
It took her a long time to make sure something, and the look in her eyes softened.
“Sister, are we going to wait for him to come back?” Dongcheng Rushi asked suddenly.
“You have to wait.”
Qin Weibai said softly, “I’m not going to wait.”
“Why?” Dongcheng Rushi asked subconsciously.
“I’m going to Zhongzhou State.”
Qin Weibai said, “As I just said, I want to send Tianlan a real divine weapon that can be worthy of his future sword intent.”
“Is there really such a sword?”
Dongcheng Rushi had some doubts.
There were too many famous and sharp swords in the world, but they were dead things after all. However, in kendo, Sword Energy was either fierce or dimly discernible, moving as the owner wished, so after entering the Invincible Realm, every Invincible Realm expert who practiced kendo wanted to find a famous sword that could perfectly carry his sword intention.
Dongcheng Rushi’s sword, which named Silence, was one of that kind.
The same was true for the sword, which named Sharpness, in the Qin Clan of Eastern Europe.
As for those who stood at the peak of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World, their sword intent could hardly find a perfect carrier.
When they reached the peak of the Invincible Realm, they needed their swords to have intelligence.
The so-called swords, without doubt, were murderous weapons.
The Falling Stars in Li Tianlan’s hand could almost be regarded as the best sword. In terms of sharpness, it was not necessarily sharper than famous swords such as Listen to the Sea, Sharpness, and Silence, and it might even be a little bit inferior. But in terms of intelligence, it was far better than the other famous swords.
But Li Tianlan’s sword intent was also extremely powerful.
Qin Weibai said that there was a divine weapon that was worthy of Li Tianlan’s future.
In the future, Li Tianlan would be bound to surpa.s.s the peak of the Invincible Realm and become the Chosen One.
What kind of sword could perfectly bear the Chosen One’s sword intent?
Dongcheng Rushi couldn’t imagine the sharpness of that kind of sword at all.
“Yes.”
Qin Weibai said softly, “It’s in Lin’an, Zhongzhou State.”
Dongcheng Rushi looked at Qin Weibai and remained silent for a while.
“Then…”
She was a little hesitant, and there was undisguised worry in her clear eyes. “What about everything here tonight?
Qin Weibai looked at her and seemed to think for a moment. Then, she chuckled and said, “Tonight, everything here is great.”
Dongcheng Rushi thought of the situation on the screen just now and continued to ask, “What’s great about that?”
The current situation was extremely obvious. Situ Cangyue and Rafael were the only two people on their side.
As for Paul, he was a figure who was infinitely close to the peak of the Invincible Realm.
Even if Aresis could really arrive in time, Charlemagne of the Heroes’ Club would also take action. What was worse, their side no longer had an overwhelming advantage.
At best, there was a chance.
The light bulb in Dongcheng Rushi’s head got turned on, and she asked carefully in a low voice, “Do you have any plans for tonight’s Recchi City?”
“No.”
Qin Weibai smiled and said, “Everything tonight is Tianlan’s plan. His plan had a conflict with mine, so I changed my mind.”
“But Tianlan’s plan is not perfect,” Dongcheng Rushi said softly after a moment of silence.
“There are indeed loopholes in his plan, but from the perspective of the general trend, it has been perfect. You don’t have to worry about some flaws.”
Qin Weibai was in a trance and seemed to have seen Li Tianlan’s situation.
“You stood in a desperate situation where you thought you had nowhere to run, but you didn’t know that there was a bigger force behind you.”
Qin Weibai thought quietly, with a calm look in her eyes.
She was the greatest perfection in Li Tianlan’s life.
But tonight, Li Tianlan’s perfection was not her.
Tonight was the Trial Day.
But what happened tonight was far from what had been planned.
The trial continued.
But it was no longer the Trial Day that belonged to her.
Qin Weibai came to her senses and said with a smile, “I’m leaving.”
Dongcheng Rushi wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
“Alas.”
Qin Weibai went over to tidy up Dongcheng Rushi’s hair and whispered, “Don’t overthink. Tianlan will be fine. You, I, Yuetong, and Tianlan are destined to be together.”
Dongcheng Rushi’s face turned red. She bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
Qin Weibai took a deep look at her and turned to leave.
“Sister.”
Dongcheng Rushi’s voice suddenly sounded.
Qin Weibai stopped where she was and did not look back.
“Today, you…”
Dongcheng Rushi suddenly felt a little confused. “Are you just pa.s.sing by?”
If the Samsara Palace really didn’t have a plan for everything tonight, then why was Qin Weibai here?
“No.”
Qin Weibai smiled and said, “I’m here to visit w.a.n.g Tianzong.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong was still drinking tea, not sleepy at all.
The water in the teapot had been changed twice, but the fragrance remained.
He held the cup and took sips of the tea. His mind seemed to have been completely immersed in his world.
In this state, w.a.n.g Tianzong was very focused.
It was as if he was meditating.
When Qin Weibai walked into the door, w.a.n.g Tianzong was filling his cup with a teapot in hand.
His back view was reflected in her sight, which made him look extremely lonely and distant.
Qin Weibai said, “The tea is good.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong replied, “Yes, wanna have a try?”
“Okay.”
Qin Weibai came over and sat opposite w.a.n.g Tianzong.
Li Tianlan had drunk the tea before.
w.a.n.g Tianzong had added a small amount of special medicine into it.
However, this medicine that could distract people’s attention didn’t have any effect on her.
In the spiritual field, Qin Weibai was not in the Transcendent Realm yet.
But she was definitely the closest to the Transcendent Realm.
“Why are you here?” w.a.n.g Tianzong asked.
There was no change in his mood, only calmness.
Had Qin Weibai not come tonight, or had she come a little later, a lot of things might have happened by now.
Maybe Li Tianlan had already cooperated with him.
Perhaps the pattern of the incoming centuries of Zhongzhou State and the Dark World would be settled tonight.
There were many possibilities.
w.a.n.g Tianzong felt a little regretful inside, but he was not very angry.
“You’re harming him,” w.a.n.g Tianzong said in a low voice, and his tone was a little emotional.
He really felt sorry for Li Tianlan.
Until now, he still believed that the only best choice was that Li Tianlan would enter the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and w.a.n.g Yuetong would be the patriarch.
“Oh?”
Qin Weibai seemed to be a little confused. She looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong and suddenly asked, “Your Majesty, do you really think that it’s a good thing for Tianlan to join the w.a.n.g family of Beihai?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong was silent. After a long while, he said slowly, “At least for him and me, that’s the best situation.”
Qin Weibai smiled. Her smile was a little cold, but it was still perfect and delicate, with a charm that could overthrow states and cities.
It’s best for you.”
She said softly, “It’s not too bad for Tianlan, but now he has more things to consider other than himself.”
“There are some things that should have been abandoned a long time ago.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong waved his hand with a cold face.
It seemed that Qin Weibai didn’t want to continue talking about this topic. She drank a cup of tea and whispered, “He is the best as long as I am by his side.”
She said this without showing off or being arrogant. She only had an endless amount of tenderness.
w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at her.
“I came here today just to visit Your Majesty.”
Qin Weibai shook her head and answered w.a.n.g Tianzong’s initial question. “I don’t know if I should be surprised or disappointed in Your Majesty’s current state.”
Her eyes were bright, calm, and extremely sharp.
w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at her.
His eyes were a bit dignified, but at this moment, he smiled a little bit.
“The w.a.n.g family of Beihai has never let anyone down.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong said with a smile, “The same is true for the sword of Beihai.”
“The sword of Beihai is truly sharp and unparalleled in the world,” Qin Weibai replied meaningfully.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s pupils contracted slightly. For a long time, he didn’t say a word.
Qin Weibai suddenly asked, “I heard that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai is casting a sword? Your Majesty should be preparing it for your breakthrough and want a divine weapon that can bear your sword intent?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong narrowed his eyes tightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in the depths of them.
The w.a.n.g family of Beihai was casting a sword which named the Coldness of Nine States.
This matter was top-secret among the top secrets in the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
w.a.n.g Tianzong and Summer Solstice knew about it. Apart from them, only a few people who cast the sword knew about it.
No one would tell anyone about this.
The question was, how did Qin Weibai know that?
“How’s the progress of making the divine weapon?”
Qin Weibai’s tone was straightforward and calm. “And how about your next breakthrough, Your Majesty?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong seemed to have calmed down completely. He said in a calm tone, “It’s not far away.”
Qin Weibai nodded and said, “I also have a sword and want to see the peerless divine weapon of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Now it seems that it’s not the right time.”
“Don’t be in a rush.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong laughed and said, “You’re so confident after knowing about the Coldness of Nine States. Since that’s the case, I also want to see what your so-called divine weapon is like. In the Eastern European mess, you will see me and the Coldness of Nine States.”
“The Coldness of Nine States…” Qin Weibai said to herself in a complicated tone.
She slowly put down the teacup and said calmly, “Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s sharpest sword in hundreds of years.”
She stood up, and after saying a few words, she was about to leave.
w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at her back in surprise and asked, “Are you in such a hurry?”
Qin Weibai’s figure paused.
She turned to look at w.a.n.g Tianzong and said calmly, “I said that I came here tonight to visit you.
“As long as you can’t make a breakthrough tonight, I’ll be able to leave Eastern Europe relievedly for the time being. Right now, it seems like you don’t have any chance of making a breakthrough tonight. Thus, you won’t be able to interfere with everything that’s taking place outside the Caesar Hotel.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong replied with an “oh”. He looked up at his watch and said, “Now…”
He looked at Qin Weibai seriously. “I don’t think the battle in front of the Caesar Hotel is in favor of you guys. Rothschild may have been very pa.s.sive at first, but now, how many of your allies have died?”
“Mitch.e.l.l, Chaos, and Ka.s.s Rotter.”
Qin Weibai said honestly, “Tribulation and Qin Xilai withdrew from the battlefield.”
“The five cannot fight any longer.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded. “When will the Samsara Palace take action?”
“Of course it’s when you’re about to make a breakthrough,” Qin Weibai answered without hesitation.
“So, the Master of Samsara Palace really isn’t dead?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong thought of some rumors and narrowed his eyes, hiding all his emotions.
Qin Weibai did not speak.
She didn’t say anything, which meant that she had tacitly admitted it.
“It doesn’t matter.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong remained silent for a while and then said blandly, “After tonight, the general trend will change. Tianlan’s advantage in Recchi City is destined to be ruined tonight. I’m here now, but I’ll be the master of this place before dawn.”
“The owner of this place?”
Qin Weibai couldn’t help laughing. “Your Majesty, do you think Tianlan will lose?”
“The situation is already very obvious.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong asked, “How can he win?”
“Indeed, the situation is already very obvious.”
Qin Weibai nodded. “But I have a question. You know Rothschild’s allies, their line-up, and how powerful Paul is. Naturally, you’ve already predicted what’s going on in front of the Caesar Hotel. Since that’s the case, why did you expose your bottom line to Tianlan to protect Paul and KingTong?”
The muscles in the corners of w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes twitched, and he suddenly fell silent.
“Your Majesty, the situation is so obvious. Tell me, how can Tianlan lose?”
Qin Weibai was aggressive.
“It’s clear to you that everything happened tonight and even what’s going on right now are meaningless. From the moment you were put under house arrest here, Tianlan has already won. Several of our allies died, and two superiors of the Invincible Realm withdrew from the battlefield. Even Rafael and Situ Cangyue were all killed here and the whole Snowdance Corps were wiped out, as long as Tianlan is still alive, he would not lose.”
Qin Weibai looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong. “You know this better than anyone else. As long as you don’t break through, Tianlan will be truly invincible tonight in Recchi City. Lose? Do you think it’s possible?”
w.a.n.g Tianzong was still silent.
His silence was also a tacit admission.
If he didn’t make a move tonight, Li Tianlan would be invincible in the world.
Very few people knew about this.
But it was the truth.
Perhaps even Li Tianlan himself didn’t know that his current disadvantage was meaningless to Rothschild.
Just like Qin Weibai said, even if the Snowdance Corps were completely annihilated, even if all the Invincible Realm experts on his side withdrew from the battlefield, and even if all the Invincible Realm experts on his side turned against him, as long as he was still alive, he could use the most powerful means to save all of this.
w.a.n.g Tianzong knew that.
That was why he had shown his bottom line in advance.
“Tonight, do you want to start a war against the whole Dark World?” w.a.n.g Tianzong suddenly asked.
“In my plan, this night was supposed to come later. That’s the real Trial Day. Everyone is guilty. I will use all my strength to trial the entire Dark World.”
Qin Weibai said calmly, “But Tianlan started his plan first. I can only take a step back. His plan may not be mature enough, but it doesn’t matter. The 100% successful plan doesn’t need the so-called maturity and correction. So tonight, it’s the Trial Day of the Li family. Your Majesty, you’re imprisoned here. I should congratulate you. You’ve escaped a disaster, although it’s only temporary.”
The meaning of these words was obvious.
If it hadn’t been the fact that Li Tianlan had planned the war in front of the Caesar Hotel tonight, as time pa.s.sed, even w.a.n.g Tianzong would definitely die if the real Trial Day was planned by Qin Weibai.
w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head with a smile. “You’re very confident.”
“It’s just a fact.”
Qin Weibai said blandly, “After tonight, the chaos in Eastern Europe can be basically ended, but I’m still looking forward to the final end, Your Majesty’s breakthrough, and the sharpness of the Coldness of Nine States.
“Tianlan will make the most complicated situation simple, and in the last and most simple situation, I will personally end the glory of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.”
After the trial, it was not the end.
w.a.n.g Tianzong wouldn’t let it end like that.
The trial would definitely come to an end.
w.a.n.g Tianzong stopped talking and turned around again.
Qin Weibai continued to move forward.
She opened the door and walked out.
All of a sudden, the room was filled with light but pervading sword intent.
The sword intent tore the window lattice in front of w.a.n.g Tianzong.
The wind and rain poured in, and it was a little cold.
w.a.n.g Tianzong held the teacup and looked out of the window quietly.
The world was vast and distant.
The night rain was boundless.
His eyes were deep and cold, and finally, all the emotions in them turned into the most thorough dead silence.
