It was not until they were close to the Supervisory Inst.i.tution that Military Counselor, who had been silent for a long time, said with a wry smile, “Boss, I still think we’re in too much of a hurry.”
Qin Weibai was lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking. After listening to Military Counselor’s words, she shook her head and said after a long time, “The timing is right now. Tianlan’s body is too perfect. Although he is seriously injured at this point, he will recover soon. During the period when he is weak, we can solve everything.”
Her tone was ordinary but determined.
Military Counselor felt more and more bitter inside. He shook his head and whispered, “If His Highness Li Tianlan didn’t take part in the final battle…”
Qin Weibai reached out and gathered the hair near her ears, revealing a satisfied smile. She said softly, “He has done everything he can. Now, it’s my business.”
Military Counselor stayed silent.
Now that the chaos in Eastern Europe had reached this point, no one could turn the tables. The Divine & Holy Lists were fragmented, and the Dark World was in turmoil. The few remaining super forces had reasons not to withdraw. There were many accidents in the plan that the Samsara Palace had been preparing for many years, but the general trend had never changed.
With the whole Dark World as the chess game, now all the killing moves were concentrated in Eastern Europe.
Win?
The Samsara Palace had never thought of winning.
This plan formally began from the final battle of Heaven Capital more than three years ago, but it had been secretly prepared for a longer time. All the preparations, sacrifices, and killing had only one goal.
It was not a victory.
Instead, it was self-destruction.
From the very beginning, Qin Weibai wanted to perish with the Samsara Palace and the whole Dark World.
What would happen next was related to the Samsara Palace.
But it was also a personal matter for Qin Weibai.
Military Counselor turned to look at Qin Weibai.
She opened the window with her long, white, and tender fingers.
As the evening breeze blew into the car, her hair fluttered and fragrance floated, which was as beautiful as a grand and illusory dream.
“Saint has no hope of making a breakthrough recently. My injury is getting better, but it’s also difficult for me to exert all my strength. Even if the core is in good condition, how can you make the 13-storey Tower reappear?”
His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e.
Among the 12 Super Masters of Samsara, he and Saint might not be the strongest. However, they were definitely among the top-notch combat forces, and they were also leading higher-ups, so they naturally knew about Qin Weibai’s plan that had been brewing since many years ago.
The outcome of this plan could be seen from the very beginning.
And that was why it had such a resolute name.
The Day of End!
Using the power of a sword to end an era.
Now that the situation had developed to this extent, the Samsara Palace had already made all the early preparations. It didn’t even need to plan anything next.
In the plan of the Day of End, the most important thing was to get all the dark forces involved.
This step concealed countless details, but they had long since been completed.
So the most important thing next was that sword.
A sword that could end the entire era.
That was naturally the Chosen One’s sword.
It was also the most powerful sword strike made by the Chosen One in his prime.
That would be the true peak and final destination of Martial Arts. There probably would be someone who could make a move as powerful as it—the most powerful sword move since the start of Martial Arts, but it would not be able to surpa.s.s the one displayed by the Chosen One.
But in this era, there was no Chosen One.
It was not easy to copy a sword move that the Chosen One made in his prime.
The 12 Super Masters of the Samsara Palace couldn’t do that.
Therefore, a long time ago, Qin Weibai began to prepare for the 13-storey Tower.
The 13-storey Tower was not a sword.
It was an array.
It could even be said to be a sword array of the highest size in the Dark World.
It was also the beginning of that sword strike.
“Thirteen superiors of the Half-step Invincible Realm…”
Military Counselor shook his head with a wry smile. This was a plan that separated Saint and him from it from the beginning.
But where was Qin Weibai going to gather 13 superiors of the Half-step Invincible Realm to form the sword array?
“Two members of the Qin Clan had been decided many years ago.”
Qin Weibai said calmly, “The Lin Clan can provide us with three people.”
“In Sigh City, Governor Situ is seriously injured, but she still has the power to launch a sword strike.
“In the past two years, the Samsara Palace has secretly trained two people. Although they only have the power for one strike, it’s enough.”
Military Counselor silently calculated the numbers.
Qin Weibai looked at the Supervisory Inst.i.tution, which was getting closer and closer, and said flatly, “The Li family must lend me two superiors of the Half-step Invincible Realm. Li Honghe is able to do that.
“There’s also one in the Dongcheng Clan.”
Military Counselor frowned and said, “Two more people are needed!”
If he and Saint could partic.i.p.ate in it, there would be thirteen superiors of the Half-step Invincible Realm to form the sword array.
Everything was just right.
Qin Weibai glanced at him and said calmly, “The other two are believers of Protestantism.”
“Protestantism!”
Military Counselor shook slightly all over. He thought to himself, “Is she going to show all her trump cards?”
“It’s time,” Qin Weibai said.
Military Counselor nodded in silence, then shook his head again, and finally kept silent.
The Zhongzhou State Army and the armed police had already appeared in front of them.
A large number of people wearing camouflage clothing kept moving back and forth around the West Lake and completely sealed it with the fastest speed.
On a road leading to the Supervisory Inst.i.tution, the car of the top leader of Jiangzhe Province was parked there in an imposing manner.
Zou Yuanshan, Governor of Jiangzhe, who personally ordered to seal the whole West Lake, stood by the car. Seeing Military Counselor’s car, he waved his hand.
“Stop,” Qin Weibai said.
The black car slowly stopped beside Zou Yuanshan.
Qin Weibai and Military Counselor got off the car.
“h.e.l.lo, Boss Qin.”
Zou Yuanshan greeted her with a smile and shook hands with Military Counselor.
Military Counselor looked at him seriously, and he was convinced in his heart. The untriggered mutiny in Youzhou last night brought Dongcheng Wudi unimaginable pressure. The entire Giant Group was now in a storm. At this time, all the groups had reasons to deal with the Giant Group. In the face of the storm, given the power and influence of these groups, they would not solve it easily by dismissing a few generals.
As the next leader of the Giant Group on the surface, Zou Yuanshan would definitely become the focus of the fire of these groups.
But at this moment, there was still a look of joy on this governor’s face. He sealed the West Lake without demur. He was indeed one of the candidates who was the most likely to reach the top in twenty years. Such courage and temperament really reached the limit.
“Sorry to trouble you, brother-in-law.”
Qin Weibai chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Military Counselor will do something next. There won’t be a big problem at home.”
A strange look flashed away in Zou Yuanshan’s eyes.
Dongcheng Qiuchi was his wife, Dongcheng Rushi was his sister-in-law, and his sister-in-law was Li Tianlan’s fiancée…
Qin Weibai was Li Tianlan’s woman.
It was okay for Li Tianlan to call him brother-in-law.
But Qin Weibai calling him brother-in-law really made his scalp numb in an instant.
However, Zou Yuanshan’s face immediately changed.
The disturbance last night would not calm down for a long time. This matter was carried out by the major groups. If it was handled properly, it was very likely that Dongcheng Wudi would be pulled down from his present position.
It would be great if the Samsara Palace could do something.
After the storm, the Giant Group’s strength was destined to be weakened, but as long as Dongcheng Wudi’s position could be kept, everything would not be the worst.
Zou Yuanshan nodded with a smile and said softly, “Boss Qin, did you come here to visit Senior Li?”
“If I only want to visit Senior Li, why would I bother to seal the West Lake?”
Qin Weibai shook her head and looked at the road ahead.
The road ahead was straight and flat, and it looked extremely deep and serene all the way up.
There was a trance in Qin Weibai’s eyes.
She looked into the distance, as if she was looking at this path or at another world.
“I want to go up the mountain,” she said softly.
“Then go up the mountain.”
Zou Yuanshan nodded and said, “I’ve already notified Senior Li. Well, Grandpa is also there. Take my car. Let’s go there together.”
Military Counselor nodded and took a look at Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai still looked into the distance and whispered, “You guys go up and wait for me.”
Zou Yuanshan blinked, a little confused, and thought, “Is there anything else she wants to do?”
Military Counselor opened his mouth and was about to speak, but in the next moment, he swallowed all his words, and the look in his eyes changed dramatically.
The gradually gentle sunset fell on Qin Weibai.
A shirt, jeans, and high heels.
Simple and clean.
Her hair fluttered gently behind her head.
At this moment, Qin Weibai was no longer cold, n.o.ble, illusory, and dreamy.
The light shone on her, and her figure looked extremely pale and fragile.
She slowly closed her eyes and put her palms together devoutly.
Then she bowed.
In the sudden change of the looks in Zou Yuanshan and Military Counselor’s eyes, she slowly knelt down.
She knelt down on the mountain road.
“Boss, you…”
Military Counselor’s shocked voice just rang out.
All of a sudden, there was a shock between heaven and earth.
An extremely sharp sound resounded through heaven and earth without warning.
No one knew where the sound came from, but the mountains and the lake suddenly vibrated at the same time.
There was dead silence all around.
A touch of indescribable fierceness and sharpness seemed to cover the whole West Lake in an instant.
Qin Weibai knelt on the ground, slowly bent down, and touched the ground with her head.
In her life, she only knelt in front of Li Tianlan when she pleased him.
But now, she was kneeling on the vast mountain road with a humble and devout face.
Military Counselor hesitated, looked at Zou Yuanshan wearing a blank look, and pulled him. Then the two got in the car and slowly went up the mountain.
Qin Weibai stood up, walked forward, bent down, and bent her knees.
She bowed every three steps and kowtowed every nine steps.
A gust of wind suddenly appeared on the hard mountain road.
It was in the summer evening, and the wind was blowing fiercely.
The leaves all over the sky were rolled up into the air by the strong wind, as sharp as knives.
One by one, the fallen leaves rushed past Qin Weibai.
She kowtowed, stepped forward, bent down, knelt down, and moved forward.
Leaves continued to fall.
Blood began to stain her white shirt, and it was as red as a plum blossom.
The whole world seemed to be resisting obviously.
Qin Weibai walked quietly.
The wild wind blew past her, and fallen leaves kept flying.
The blade-like leaves were in a mess.
Blood flowed out of Qin Weibai’s body, reddening her clothes and falling down her arms.
No one knew when this G.o.ddess, who had been standing at the peak of the Dark World since she appeared, had never been weak, delicate, and never retreated, had already burst into tears.
It was not because of pain.
It was because of an indescribable sense of regret and guilt.
The flying snow of Kunlun, the prosperity of Youzhou, the sword light all over the sky, and the roaring murderous weapon.
She had gone through all sorts of things, including sad ones.
She bit her lip tightly, going all the way up.
Blood splashed on the ground.
The strong wind had begun to become violent.
Her figure swayed in the wind, but she walked with great determination.
It was a long road of thousands of meters.
She kowtowed countless times in plain clothes.
Her blood and tears left clear traces in the wind.
The wind gradually died down.
It was getting dark.
Only the last ray of the setting sun was still struggling.
On the top of the mountain, at the end of the path, Li Honghe, Military Counselor, Zou Yuanshan, Dongcheng Hanguang, and all the members of the Li family were standing there, watching Qin Weibai getting closer and closer.
Phoenix, who was left here by Deity, stood at the back of the crowd. For some reason, her face grew paler and paler.
Dongcheng Hanguang looked at Qin Weibai, who kept swaying, and couldn’t help but ask, “What… what is she going to do?”
Li Honghe shook his head. This mountain was his territory.
But he didn’t think that Qin Weibai did all this for him.
Li Honghe thought that he couldn’t afford what she was doing.
He glanced at Military Counselor.
Military Counselor’s body trembled slightly, but he didn’t mean to speak.
It was completely dim.
After bowing every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps, Qin Weibai finally reached the end of the mountain road.
The strong wind began to disappear.
The fallen leaves stopped flying.
Everything became deathly silent.
Qin Weibai’s face was pale, and she swayed.
He pa.s.sed by Li Honghe and Dongcheng Hanguang and walked forward.
There was a huge bluestone ahead.
In front of the bluestone was a steep hill.
At the bottom of the hillside was the West Lake, which was glimmering in the sunshine.
Qin Weibai walked to the hillside and slowly knelt down in front of the West Lake in front of her.
Her hands, legs, and head…
She threw herself on the ground.
Her voice sounded in the silence, weak and light.
“I’ll die without regret if I get the sword.”
All the sounds disappeared completely.
Indescribable silence enveloped the whole West Lake.
Li Honghe suddenly looked up at the lake.
The endless lake in his sight was boiling in an instant.
The nearly 10,000-meter-long water was roaring and surging, as if it was connected with the night sky in the distance.
Qin Weibai knelt there and didn’t move an inch.
The boiling water suddenly lit up.
The light seemed to come out of the water 10,000 meters away and turned into the purest white color.
The white light flew and twisted in the night sky, cutting through the sky.
A splendid bridge suddenly appeared in the silent night.
With rays of light lingering around it, it was colorful!
In the night, on the surface of the water, there was an incomparably brilliant and clear rainbow.
The rainbow stretched out from the distance and landed directly in front of Qin Weibai.
In the twinkling of an eye, Li Honghe’s body was stretched to the limit.
Everyone’s bodies were completely tense.
In the silence, the rainbow became clearer and clearer, but the boiling water suddenly calmed down.
An indescribable feeling kept getting closer and closer in the darkness.
It seemed that something was flying in the night, getting closer and closer.
No one saw what it was, but a growing sense of danger hung over everyone’s heart.
Qin Weibai did not move.
The rainbow that was extremely clear suddenly stabilized.
“Swish!”
It was like a sharp sword piercing the earth.
More than half of the Lonely Mountain had been rebuilt. In the slight sound, it shook violently.
Dense cracks spread wildly on the ground.
The rainbow trembled slightly.
The Sword Energy all over the sky surged and burst forth, tearing up all the buildings on the mountain in an instant, and the whole foundation was completely filled with cracks in the blink of an eye.
Li Honghe finally understood the rainbow in front of him.
The rainbow, which was colorful and almost covered the starry sky, was tens of thousands of meters long.
This was not a unique phenomenon of heaven and earth.
It was a streak of sword light!
The sword light was here.
Where was the sword?
Qin Weibai had straightened up.
There was nothing in front of her.
But everyone could clearly perceive that there was something more in front of her.
There was an indescribable feeling between heaven and earth.
Sharp, fierce, indifferent, and arrogant.
There was also a trace of undisguised anger and rejection.
Was this the sword’s mood?
A living sword belonging to an Invincible Realm expert?!
Li Honghe looked incredulous.
He stared at the place before Qin Weibai, trying to see the sword hidden in the void.
A colorful light flashed in front of Qin Weibai.
It was like the light emitted by a pair of eyes.
But in an instant, the Sword Energy that condensed to the extreme arrived directly in front of Li Honghe.
Countless rays of sword light shrouded everyone.
Dongcheng Hanguang’s face changed dramatically, and he subconsciously wanted to defend himself.
But the next second, he suddenly stopped.
Countless streams of Sword Energy shuttled past them.
They didn’t hurt him, Military Counselor, Zou Yuanshan, or even any veteran of the Li family.
All the Sword Energy converged into one and went straight to…
Phoenix!
Phoenix of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
Phoenix’s face was as white as snow.
That incredibly sharp sword light gradually took shape.
She could clearly feel that the Sword Energy was pointing at her abdomen.
That was her child.
She and Deity’s child.
Li Honghe’s face changed dramatically, and countless wisps of Sword Energy burst out of his body in an instant.
The colorful sword light moved wildly and rushed into the Sword Energy around Li Honghe.
Li Honghe was no longer at his peak state. All his Sword Energy was destroyed by the sword light. The sword light rotated and directly sent him flying.
However, the sword light was also weakened by Li Honghe’s resistance of full strength, and finally, it landed on Phoenix.
Phoenix’s body shook violently, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were full of horror.
There was a dead silence on the scene.
The people of the Li family did not know the origin of Phoenix.
But they were clear about her strength.
This woman with an unknown origin was a superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm!
And she was a top-notch Half-step Invincible Realm expert!
The colorful light circulated gently.
The rainbow in the sky slowly gathered together.
Qin Weibai slowly stood up, as if she was holding something in front of her.
A huge blade showed up in the blink of an eye, and then it hid in the void again.
But everyone could feel the anger and coldness of this sword at this moment.
“Don’t be in a hurry.”
Qin Weibai held the void in front of her.
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, but with a hint of relief. “Everything will be ours.”
Another feeling of rejection swept across the sky and earth but with a little hesitation this time.
Finally, the heavens and the earth gradually quieted down.
The rainbow-like sword light, covering a distance of 10,000 meters, also began to dissipate in the sky.
Qin Weibai patted the void with her bloodied palm and whispered, “I feel guilty about you, but I have a clear conscience in this life.”
There was a slight buzzing sound in front of her, but in the end, everything was completely silent.
“Thank you,” Qin Weibai said softly.
After a long time, Dongcheng Hanguang, who was still in shock, asked subconsciously, “What the h.e.l.l is this?”
Qin Weibai turned to look at him and whispered, “Of course, it’s a sword.”
“What kind of sword can be so horrible? No, it should be said that how did this sword be made?”
Murderous weapons had intelligence.
But intelligence didn’t mean life.
This sword was clearly alive.
“It’s a sword belonging to an Invincible Realm expert.”
A weak voice suddenly sounded. Li Honghe, whose face was pale, looked behind Qin Weibai. There was a blush on his pale face. “A sword of the Invincible Realm.”
