Chapter 458 Submit or Die
The night was still dark.
But the atmosphere at the mountaintop was getting more and more solemn.
The Chosen One.
This was a term that could suppress the whole Dark World to the point where it could not breathe.
The combination of this term and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, which had a long history and abundant resources, was a nightmare, enough to make everyone tremble from the soul.
Lin Fengting glanced at Qin Weibai again.
Qin Weibai stood there quietly, her eyes steady and calm, but a very certain light was overflowing from her eyes, making her look determined.
Lin Fengting nodded silently.
Now that he was standing next to Qin Weibai, he would believe her.
Qin Weibai said that w.a.n.g Tianzong would make a breakthrough.
Then he would definitely make a breakthrough.
Therefore, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, which had a Chosen One as its leader, would be very scary.
And the Chosen One with the support of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai would be even more of a holy terror.
“It’s incredible…”
Lin Fengting sighed softly, looked at Qin Weibai, and suddenly said with a chuckle, “You don’t seem to worry about it?”
“I don’t accept it,” Qin Weibai whispered.
…
Lin Fengting was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Qin Weibai meant.
Qin Weibai was not worried.
She merely could not accept it.
“It’s useless to worry. I can’t stop w.a.n.g Tianzong. If I go to deal with him now, I will lose control in other aspects. w.a.n.g Tianzong is mighty, but he is not the overall situation. In the overall situation, everyone is the overall situation. The only thing I can do is to stall w.a.n.g Tianzong until the end. Before that, I will first clean up some other variables. So I would like to ask you to hide one sword stroke,” Qin Weibai explained further.
…
“What about me?”
Gongsun Qi suddenly asked, “Boss Qin, my discussion with Jiang Qiansong should not be the only reason you asked me here tonight, should it?”
“Of course.”
Qin Weibai nodded. “But I don’t need you to do anything here. If possible, I hope that the Terracotta Army can support Tianlan at the next few crucial moments.”
Gongsun Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai looked at him calmly.
“The Terracotta Army must be neutral.”
Gongsun Qi said with a poker face, “This is a principle.”
“The Terracotta Army is indeed neutral, but you are not, Third Uncle.”
Qin Weibai emphasized this extremely secret address.
Gongsun Qi was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and glanced thoughtfully at Qin Weibai.
He laughed, and there was something unfathomable in his eyes. “I am your Third Uncle?”
Qin Weibai’s face was cold, and she asked calmly, “Aren’t you?”
“I have a question.”
Gongsun Qi said, “If Boss Qin can give me an answer, I can agree to your request.”
Qin Weibai said, “Go ahead.”
…
Gongsun Qi remained silent for a while before he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “It’s said that the intelligence system of the Samsara Palace is unparalleled in the world. Does the Samsara Palace know who stopped me from reaching the real Invincible Realm back then?”
Gongsun Qi had the strongest combat capability of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World and was also the strongest superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm.
He had broken through to the Invincible Realm, but not a complete one. In some aspects, he should be considered an Invincible Realm expert whose foundation was damaged. In this state, Gongsun Qi was extremely horrible. Even the real superiors of the Invincible Realm, who were at the back of the Holy List, were no match for him.
However, his biggest shortcoming was that although his foundation was damaged, his strength was still mighty, so his physical strength and explosive power were still a little bit weaker than those of a real superior of the Invincible Realm.
At the crucial moment of his breakthrough, he was plotted against. That kind of vicious attack completely dashed all his hopes and made him have no hope of reaching the real Invincible Realm in his lifetime.
This matter was a deep blood feud for Gongsun Qi.
The whole Zhongzhou State was also furious.
It was just that some things had been checked for years, but there was still no clue.
But Samsara Palace was different.
Their intelligence ability had almost been recognized by the whole Dark World. Qin Weibai could even find out his ident.i.ty.
Gongsun Qi believed that as long as Samsara Palace investigated this matter, there must be clues.
“I have investigated this matter.”
Qin Weibai suddenly said, “Believe it or not, Samsara Palace also spent a lot of resources on the investigation, but…”
Gongsun Qi raised his eyebrows, but his heart sank.
“I’m not sure.”
Qin Weibai suddenly said, “I…”
There was a sudden pause in her voice.
Not only her voice but also her body stiffened for a moment.
She seemed to have thought of something. The emotional waves in her eyes fluctuated fiercely for a moment, and then she shook her head slowly as if she thought it was impossible.
Countless pieces of information kept congregating, being sorted out, being a.n.a.lyzed, being filtered, and gathering in her mind again.
In an instant, there seemed to be a storm in Qin Weibai’s mind.
She frowned slightly and looked freezingly cold and grave.
She suddenly glanced at Gongsun Qi and did not speak.
Gongsun Qi took a sudden step forward and asked with excitement, “Do you have any clues?”
…
“I’m not sure.”
Qin Weibai shook her head slowly and repeated her answer again.
“What on earth did you think of?”
Gongsun Qi looked at Qin Weibai seriously.
“I’m just wondering if the mouse that has been hiding in the darkness has something to do with your business.”
Qin Weibai said calmly, “Uncle, how could it be so easy to investigate this matter? I can offer you a direction at most. If you really want to find the mastermind, you should pay more attention to one person, but you can’t act rashly.”
Gongsun Qi raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, “Who?”
…
“Your colleague.”
Qin Weibai was calm and composed.
“My colleague?”
Gongsun Qi muttered to himself, and then asked in disbelief, “Yi?”
Qin Weibai said, “It’s another one.”
…
Gongsun Qi had three colleagues.
The first one was Yi, General of Ninth Heaven, whose code name was Vermilion Bird.
The second one was Shang, General of Nine Serenities, whose code name was White Tiger.
The third one was Li w.a.n.gsheng, Lieutenant General of Nine Regions, whose code name was Black Tortoise.
However, Black Tortoise had just joined the Terracotta Army in recent years. Although he was his colleague, in front of the three seniors, he was more like a junior.
Qin Weibai said that it was not Yi, but another one.
“Shang?!” Gongsun Qi asked, and his voice suddenly became much heavier.
…
Qin Weibai kept silent.
Gongsun Qi didn’t say anything for a long time. After a long time, he took a deep look at Qin Weibai. “Thank you.”
“Uncle, I hope you don’t forget what you promised me.”
Qin Weibai’s tone was quiet and gentle. It seemed that she was really a junior.
“I’ll try my best, but I can’t guarantee anything. The battlefield of the Chosen One… Hehe…”
Gongsun Qi was a little self-deprecating.
In the chaos in Eastern Europe, Lin Fengting needed to hide one sword stroke.
Even if this sword stroke could not reverse everything, it was bound to be one of the most important sword strokes in the chaos.
But Gongsun Qi himself…
If he succeeded to make a breakthrough in those days, now he should be barely qualified to hide one sword stroke.
But now, with the reputation of the strongest superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm, he was not even qualified to guarantee anything in the battlefield of the Chosen One, let alone to hide one sword stroke.
“In fact, you two don’t need to worry too much.”
Qin Weibai said, “w.a.n.g Tianzong’s breakthrough is destined, but he is short of luck. Even if he breaks through, we don’t need to be afraid of him.”
“Short of luck?!” Gongsun Qi asked in a questioning tone.
…
Lin Fengting also felt that this sentence was a little absurd.
w.a.n.g Tianzong had the w.a.n.g family of Beihai under control.
If he didn’t have enough luck, wouldn’t it mean that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was short of luck?
For hundreds of years in the Dark World, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s luck was abundant, like the sun in broad daylight.
Who dared to say that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s luck was insufficient?
“I remember Master Xuan Xuanzi once said that over the past 500 years, the luck of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai is at its peak,” Gongsun Qi said slowly.
…
“If it hadn’t been the case, Tianzong wouldn’t have been able to take that step.”
Lin Fengting agreed very much.
But Qin Weibai disagreed.
“Xuan Xuanzi?”
She smiled gently. It was not a scornful smile, but there were touches of indescribable arrogance and undisguised disdain in it.
Gongsun Qi asked, “You don’t believe in metaphysics or fate?”
…
“I believe them,” Qin Weibai whispered.
…
There was a touch of faint but real piety and awe in her voice.
Perhaps only Flaming Fire, who was closest to her in the Dark World, knew that Qin Weibai, who was raised by a monk, was a devout believer of Protestantism and also believed in G.o.d.
She had faith.
She just didn’t believe in people.
“I believe that fate and metaphysics have their own reasons, but is the so-called grandmaster of metaphysics trustworthy?” Qin Weibai asked.
…
Gongsun Qi frowned tightly. “Many of the things that the master said have actually been proven.”
Qin Weibai said, “Well, I’ll say a few.
“At most in ten years, you will die in Zhongzhou State and become a stepping stone for Tianlan to break through the Invincible Realm.
“At most in ten years, you will die in Beihai and become a stepping stone for w.a.n.g Shengxiao to break through the Invincible Realm.
“At most in ten years, you will die in Kunlun and become a stepping stone for Gu Hanshan to break through the Invincible Realm.”
Gongsun Qi, “…”
If it weren’t for Qin Weibai—a perfect and stunning woman standing in front of him, he really wanted to curse her.
“What is this?!” he asked in a deep voice.
…
“This is metaphysics, or it can be said to be prophecy.”
Qin Weibai said indifferently, “Even if there is no information about me in Zhongzhou State, don’t you have access to it? I am the foster daughter of Great Master Wuwei. Great Master Wuwei’s state reached in practicing Taoism is higher than that of Xuan Xuanzi, right? What I said earlier are prophecies. I can give you whatever result you want.”
The three prophecies were all about death.
The locations were Zhongzhou State, Beihai, and Kunlun.
Gongsun Qi suddenly felt like he was choosing a cemetery for himself.
Zhongzhou State was too broad, and the location was uncertain.
Kunlun was too cold and snowy, and thus it was meaningless.
The scenery of Beihai was great and picturesque…Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
“But what the h.e.l.l does it matter to me?”
Gongsun Qi took a look at Qin Weibai, coughed, and faltered, “Well… Can I choose to live?”
He believed it!
Lin Fengting forced himself to hold back his laughter and turned his head, not wanting to see the low IQ of the Zhongzhou State Azure Dragon.
There was also a smile in Qin Weibai’s eyes.
“I don’t believe you.”
Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice, “I believe in Great Master Wuwei.”
“Don’t you understand yet?”
Qin Weibai said softly, “The metaphysics and fate really make sense. The true metaphysical master can indeed see something, even predict something, resolve some of the tribulations in one’s fate, and change one’s birth chart…
“But how skilled do you think a person needs to be to predict a person’s future and what he or she will achieve at a certain time with complete accuracy? Is such a person a metaphysical master? Only supernatural beings have such an ability.
“The Lin Clan also has its own metaphysical master. Over the years, the master has predicted the future and condensed the luck for the Lin Clan. Mr. Lin, when did the metaphysical master exactly predict something for someone in the Lin Clan, and it came true?”
Lin Fengting coughed awkwardly. “Several times, but those were special cases.”
He suddenly froze as if he understood something.
Qin Weibai also laughed. “Special circ.u.mstances are the keys to all accurate predictions of the metaphysical masters.”
Gongsun took a deep breath and asked slowly, “What the h.e.l.l do you want to say?”
…
“What she’s trying to say is that metaphysics is very magical, but too accurate prediction often represents a certain stance.”
Lin Fengting thought about the past predictions of Lin Xu about the Lin Clan and sighed a little.
Gongsun Qi still did not understand.
…
Qin Weibai simply said more clearly, “Do you know what is the greatest achievement in the lifetime of Great Master Wuwei?”
Great Master Wuwei had instructed many people in his life, and his instructions were extremely accurate.
But the biggest achievement…
Gongsun Qi said, “Sigh City.”
…
Many years ago, it was Great Master Wuwei who advised Situ Cangyue to go to Mount Taibai in Zhongzhou State.
So Situ Cangyue got rid of the influence of the Li family’s treason case and finally established Sigh City.
“But in fact, Great Master Wuwei could only determine that there was an opportunity waiting for Situ Cangyue in the north but was not sure what the north meant to her back then.”
Qin Weibai said, “Like I’m sure you’ll die, because people will die, but I am not sure how you will die.
“So this requires external force.
“I predicted today that you would die in Beihai. I can’t do this, but I need to use external forces to promote things and eventually let you die in Beihai. In this way, my prediction is successful.
“Metaphysical masters do exist. But the combination of a superpower that can drive everything and a metaphysical master is a metaphysical master who can predict everything with great accuracy.
“Don’t you understand yet?
“My adoptive father is highly respected because the Li family has helped him to promote many things behind him, which eventually led to some results.
“Xuan Xuanzi is known as a grandmaster, and there are also forces behind him that drive certain results. This is the true face of metaphysics.
“He said that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s luck was the most abundant now, and there would naturally be something fishy behind it. I’m not interested in knowing that. The only thing I know is that w.a.n.g Tianzong is short of luck now. Even if the w.a.n.g family of Beihai has abundant luck, it doesn’t necessarily belong to w.a.n.g Tianzong.”
Lin Fengting was about to speak when he suddenly looked up, looking at the night sky far away.
The night sky was silent.
Qin Weibai turned her head and looked back.
However, in a few seconds, Gongsun Qi was keenly aware of the changes in the surrounding air.
The whistle of the wind could be heard ahead, and the s.p.a.ce was vibrating, as if something was moving fast at night.
Lin Fengting took one step forward calmly.
A strand of sword intent radiated from him, and it continued to circle around the wind that surged toward him.
Vaguely, the three of them seemed to see a shadow in the distance.
The figure was extremely fast and rushed over without stopping.
Qin Weibai’s eyes flashed.
At this moment, she could see Jiang Qiansong.
But standing in Lin Fengting’s sword intent, the fl.u.s.tered Jiang Qiansong could not see them even if he was an expert on the Divine List.
The figure of Jiang Qiansong appeared at the foot of the mountain.
He rushed forward and went straight to the mountainside.
…
Eventually, he rushed to the top of the mountain.
There was nothing in his sight, so he walked into Lin Fengting’s sword intent ignorantly.
The howling wind suddenly whistled.
A giant tornado with a height of hundreds of meters suddenly emerged from the top of the mountain under the night sky.
Jiang Qiansong’s figure suddenly went stiff in place.
Lin Fengting, Gongsun Qi, and Qin Weibai stood around him.
Tremendous Sword Energy screamed around the four.
“Mr. Jiang?”
Lin Fengting laughed. “What a coincidence.”
Jiang Qiansong’s face turned pale, and his heart sank to the bottom in a flash. He felt like falling into an abyss.
At this moment, he remembered the words of “disciple”, but it was too late to regret it.
Jiang Qiansong took a deep breath and sneered, “I’m afraid it’s not a coincidence?”
…
“You’re right.”
Qin Weibai said, “We are waiting for you here.”
“Waiting for me?”
Jiang Qiansong’s tone grew colder. “Why are you waiting for me? Are you going to invite me to drink tea?”
“We’re here to offer you two options.”
Qin Weibai looked at Jiang Qiansong and asked calmly, “Do you choose to submit or die?”
