Chapter 200 Day Two · the Heavenly Son Must Die

The night was as cold as water. The moon was bright and the stars scattered in the sky.

Ninghu had the clearest sky and shore in the entire East Island. Watching under the sky, the skyline and the sea level stuck close together, radiating a kind of pure, awesome power.

Whether it was day or night, Wujia Mountain in the northeast of Ninghu was the best spot for sightseeing. There was a cliff on the edge of Wujia Mountain close to the sea, with a height of about a thousand meters. The cliff was the highest spot in Ninghu. It wasn’t big, but it looked majestic, especially at nights. Standing on the cliff, hearing the waves and watching the vast, broad ocean, with countless city lights behind, one would have a feeling that was hard to describe. It felt like the city’s bustling scenes and the ocean’s profoundness were all under one’s feet, and it made people feel like everything in Ninghu was under their control.

Qin Weibai didn’t remember how long she had been standing here.

From sunset to night, the sky was clearer and clearer, and the moon was brighter and brighter. Time kept passing by, and only the cliff under her feet stayed the same.

Qin Weibai also stood still.

She just stood there in silence, and the bright city lights were behind her. Watching the deep ocean in front of her, she seemed to be thinking about something and observing something carefully.

The ocean breeze at night brought the icy coldness. The white vintage long dress on Qin Weibai and her black hair were flying in the air. In the night breeze, her face looked so pale that it was almost transparent, but her eyes were still bright like stars, soft and determined.

The sea breeze blew through the cliff, bringing delicate fragrance in Wujia Mountain. Qin Weibai, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke softly, “What do you feel?”

Behind her, two black shadows stood in silence. They seemed to blend in with the darkness.

The two people were of the same height, and the same clothes, which were black cloaks. The wide hats covered their faces completely. When they lowered their heads, their expressions would completely blend into the dark, and no outline could be seen anymore.

“Nothing.”

The two figures in cloaks seemed to exchange a glance, then shook their heads in a tacit agreement.

The two people stood together and looked like images by inversion under the night sky. There were only small differences in them.

The differences were their accessories and their vibes.

The one on the left had a straighter body under the black cloak. He carried a long sword with him. Although he didn’t move, there seemed to be infinite Sword Energy flying around him. The Sword Energy moved along with the breeze. It kept gathering in the small whistling sound and seemed to fly straight up the high sky, sharp and fierce.

Compared to him, the one on the right had a softer body under the cloak. He just stood there casually, without any sharp, aggressive aura. He was just awfully stable and quiet, like the deep ocean under the cliff. When everything was peaceful, he made people feel a sense of unfathomable depth.

Saint.

Military Counselor.

Since Samsara Palace appeared in the Dark World, till now, these two were the most mysterious Super Masters in Samsara. No one knew their real identities, but in the many confrontations in the Dark World, all the dark superpowers felt their power.

When the mysterious Master of Samsara Palace was silent, Qin Weibai’s will could represent Samsara Palace.

Saint and Military Counselor were the muscle and wisdom of Samsara Palace.

They always appeared at the right time and right place, and they disappeared at the most impossible moment. In many years, apart from the Master of Samsara Palace, no one knew their real identities, and no one could track them down.

Like right now.

When Samsara and Zhongzhou State’s cooperation entered the most crucial stage, no one could expect that the key figure Qin Weibai would appear in East Island. From Dongdu to Changdao, she ended up in Ninghu.

No one could expect that two most powerful Super Masters of Samsara that were supposed to be preparing for the war in Changdao, also came to Ninghu to hide from East Island’s surveillance.

“Nothing?”

Qin Weibai mumbled to herself. In the fresh, cold air consisted of night breeze and waves, her black hair and white clothes were flying in the air. But Qin Weibai didn’t look like a mess at all. She straightened her tall, slim body with pride.

In front of the ocean.

In front of the bright moon.

In front of the starry sky.

This scene at the moment really looked like a gorgeous painting.

“I feel the danger.”

Qin Weibai breathed lightly and said blandly.

“Danger?”

The sword intent around Saint suddenly froze.

“To be exact, it’s years of patience and ambition of a schemer.”

Qin Weibai laughed. The soft moonlight poured down, and her whole body was glowing with faint, dreamy light. She watched the ocean afar, and her tone was soft, and yet cold. “This place is so special that it took me so long to find it.”

“Schemer?”

Military Counselor repeated her words, then laughed softly. Whether it was Military Counselor or Saint, standing behind Qin Weibai was more natural for them than any other Super Masters. At least they weren’t timid and submissive like the other Super Masters. Even their tones were natural, as if they were just having a light chat. “Not everybody can be worthy of this comment from you.”

In the Dark World, Qin Weibai didn’t have a big name, but she had great power. From her position, people that could be called a schemer were very few in the Dark World.

“It’s not a matter of being worthy.”

Qin Weibai’s tone was complicated; there were mockery, coldness, and trance. “He is originally a schemer. He doesn’t need anyone’s comment. And here is his root, his hope. Too bad that…”

She stopped talking for a second.

At this moment, Qin Weibai’s white dress was flying in the air. She turned her back on Saint and Military Counselor. No one could see her expression clearly, but there was a sad feeling floating in the air on the cliff. “Too bad that I found it.”

Saint and Military Counselor exchanged a glance again.

After a short silence, Saint said tentatively, “Then we are here tonight because…”

“Wait, and kill.”

Qin Weibai’s answer was simple.

Saint and Military Counselor stayed quiet and didn’t ask further.

All the superpowers in the Dark World had their own special characters; the Wang family of Beihai was aggressive, the Jiang family of South America was low-key, Knights Templars was passionate, Dark Knights was extreme, the Polar Ground Alliance was sinister… and so on…

And Samsara’s character was mysterious.

The way Samsara functioned, where their headquarter was located, how exactly powerful was the Master of Samsara Palace, everything was unknown to the Dark World.

In people’s opinion, Saint and Military Counselor, the two famous yet mysterious Super Masters that ranked top 2 in Samsara, were supposed to have the status and power second only to the Master of Samsara Palace and Qin Weibai, but the reality was the exact opposite.

Saint and Military Counselor indeed had very high status, but they weren’t in charge of any affairs in Samsara Palace.

Any affairs!

But judging from real power, any Super Master in Samsara below Saint and Military Counselor had more real power than they did.

In most of the time, Saint and Military Counselor were the perfect executors whenever Samsara needed them. They didn’t care about the reasons, and they just did what they were told. When they weren’t needed, they could disappear without a trace, like two shadows inside Samsara Palace.

Especially after Qin Weibai showed up, the two became the absolute silent executors.

From Changdao, they secretly escorted Qin Weibai to Ninghu. Till now, Saint and Military Counselor didn’t know what exactly Qin Weibai was about to do. They didn’t need to know.

Wait, and kill.

This was a sufficient answer. They didn’t need to know more.

Time passed by in silence.

In the second half of the night, it became quieter and quieter on the cliff, and only the sound of the wind and waves could be heard. A fishing village less than three kilometers below the cliff completely quieted down. After the lights were completely put out, all the areas in the whole Wujia Mountain became completely dark and silent.

Military Counselor yawned out of boredom and suddenly said, “What will happen when this is over?”

“Go back to our country. We still have tons of things left to solve, and the thought of it gives me a headache.”

The Sword Energy floated around Saint with amazing momentum, but his raspy voice became loud and clear, sounding helpless.

Military Counselor seemed to be laughing in his voice. He nodded and said, “Your actions have been pretty obvious lately.”

“Aren’t your actions more obvious than mine?”

“Obvious my ass. Some random kids can take care of those easy jobs. But lately, I found out that there’s a new superior in Huating. There’s no way you can guess who it is. It’s a person that we knew but chose to ignore. If he hadn’t gone to Jinling just after arriving in Huating, I wouldn’t have found out about him. He is the most well-hidden person I have ever seen.”

“Superior?”

“At least he won’t be worse than us. But this guy has been pretty restless. Now he’s got great support but still won’t rest. If my theory is right, there is about to be an unfaithful person like Lü Bu in modern society, ha…”

In Military Counselor’s complicated remaining words, Saint’s body slightly froze under the cloak. The words “unfaithful like Lü Bu” instantly reminded him of who the so-called superior would be.

“It was him? Are you sure?”

“Why would people always say ‘men of power don’t easily reveal themselves’. In the following time, I plan to do some serious research on this man. But now he is in Huating. This isn’t a piece of bad news to us.”

Military Counselor took out a cigarette and lit it up. The faint smoke floated from the cloak. He looked at Qin Weibai who stood still in front of him and suddenly said with a smile, “Boss doesn’t seem surprised at this news?”

“There’s no unfaithful person like Lü Bu. In these years, he has held only one standpoint, which has never changed.”

Qin Weibai said blandly, “A person could hold his anger for years even when his own daughter was killed, his loyalty and sacrifice deserve respect. But from his perspective, I don’t know whose slave is he?”

In the dark, Military Counselor shrugged. He seemed to put on a bitter smile for a second.

Samsara’s all-pervasive intelligence system could be anyone’s fear. Samsara’s intelligence system could find out about some secret plans of some superpowers and the truth of some secrets years ago. There wasn’t any secret anymore. And Qin Weibai alone had been in charge of such a strict intelligence system. Military Counselor thought he had spilled some big news, but he didn’t expect the boss already knew about this, even knew it better than he did.

Military Counselor put on a helpless, bitter smile, and he looked at Qin Weibai subconsciously.

Under the pure, pale moonlight, this phenomenal woman that swept several leaders in the Dark World off their feet only left him a view of her gorgeous back.

In front of the deep ocean, she turned her back on the whole world.

In Military Counselor’s expression, the boss had always been very quiet a few years ago. She was quiet and beautiful, like a goddess statue made by ten thousand years of cold ice. Her every move felt too high to be reached. She was the perfection and elegance that could only be watched.

And a couple of months ago, the boss was happy. He could clearly feel the light and joy in the boss’s eyes, the light satisfaction and yet deep tenderness.

And right now, Military Counselor could only feel her loneliness.

The loneliness deep in her bone and soul.

Military Counselor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything. Finally, he decided to shut up and stay silent.

A soft ringtone rang out in the night sky.

Qin Weibai, who had been standing still for a long time, picked up the phone but didn’t say anything.

In the phone call, Duke’s calm and steady voice rang out. “Boss, Daybreak has answered my request on behalf of that Highness just now.”

“What did he say?”

While her white dress and black hair were dancing in the air, Qin Weibai’s tender and pure body straightened up suddenly.

“Daybreak told me that they can give us what we want, but it won’t be much, and it takes time.”

Duke said with a low voice.

Silence.

It was suddenly dead silent on the cliff.

Qin Weibai held her phone tightly. Her body started to shiver in silence, and the shivering was getting more and more obvious. But her tone sounded like the storm and tides repressed under the sea.

“He said, they can get it for us?”

Qin Weibai asked with a calm tone.

Even through the phone, Duke seemed to feel great danger coming. His voice became smaller, and he said cautiously, “Daybreak said so.”

“Alright.”

Qin Weibai nodded and stayed silent for a full minute. Then she opened her mouth again and said, “Alright. He is really something. Li…”

In the night breeze, her harsh voice stopped for a second, then it turned to absolute silence.

“I see now.”

She said, then hung up the phone.

Saint and Military Counselor stayed quiet.

Military Counselor took a small step back. Around him, the airflows within the few meters suddenly twisted violently.

The Sword Energy around Saint started to rotate violently, like a storm.

The two of them didn’t know what did Qin Weibai’s phone call mean, but they knew that the last time their boss talked in such a tone was in the past 24 hours.

Night Spirit was wiped out!

Saint and Military Counselor got into the combat stage almost instantly. At this moment, the two Super Masters had nothing but fighting desire to anyone.

“This time our Samsara works with East Island’s mysterious ally. Do you know what I want?”

Qin Weibai took deep breaths and asked suddenly.

“You want them to keep Li Tianlan safe.”

Military Counselor said slowly.

“Yes. I have given a lot and just want them to keep Tianlan safe. Apart from that, I asked for other things, just a little bit, but it’s very rare.”

Qin Weibai’s tone sounded crisp and cold. Her sweet voice was full of intense, burning killing intent.

“I want the coldest poison and the hottest poison! Have you heard of these two things? You haven’t! But why do they know what they are? Why can they offer them to me?!”

“Clap!”

Qin Weibai smashed her phone on the cliff. Her exquisite and perfect face was drowned in moonlight, but the words she said were full of coldness and anger. “What is right and wrong?!”

“What is grievance?!”

“What is affection?!”

Her voice sounded higher and higher. It kept echoing on the entire cliff and was stern enough to break gold and crush stones.

Military Counselor and Saint didn’t say anything.

In their impression, Qin Weibai had never been like this before. This seemed to be the first time that she didn’t hide her anger and coldness. The sounds of her venting anger seemed to be asking and also seemed to be full of resentment.

“Saint!”

Qin Weibai suddenly opened her mouth and said in an extremely serious tone, “I want to kill someone.”

“Pleased to serve you.”

Saint took a step forward and said in a calm tone, “Who do you want to kill?”

“The real young Heavenly Son. Do you dare to kill him?”

Qin Weibai bent down and picked up her phone on the ground. Then she turned on the screen.

On the screen was a photo of her and Li Tianlan snuggling together.

Qin Weibai’s cold, strict, bright eyes slowly softened. She wiped the dirt off then screen tentatively, and the killing intent in her voice sounded more and more intense.

Saint remained calm, and his voice still sounded peaceful. “Pleased to serve you.”

“Military Counselor?”

Qin Weibai called him without turning her back.

Military Counselor smiled gently. His words were direct and nothing but subtle. “In my heart, there’s only one young Heavenly Son, Tianlan. Apart from Tianlan, the other young superiors are all disposable.”

The compliment was intense but effective. Qin Weibai started to calm her anger, and her tone was a lot softer.

“Tianlan…”

She mumbled softly, then shook her head and said, “If this one doesn’t die tonight, he will be Tianlan’s strongest opponent in the future, the only strongest.”

Such comment had moved Saint and Military Counselor. Right now Li Tianlan’s potential was well-acknowledged. To put the realm aside and judge from potential, no one would think that he was inferior to Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan. If such a man grew up and even just got into the Thunder-shocking Realm, he could make trouble for even a superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm.

Li Tianlan’s strongest opponent in the future?

The only strongest?

Saint, who didn’t say much but paid attention to every word Qin Weibai said, suddenly said, “Because of his inborn talent?”

As expected, Qin Weibai shook her head but didn’t explain much.

Saint took a look at her and got deep in thought.

“It will be my pleasure to help the man my boss loves the most.”

Military Counselor flattered her hard, but his voice was subtle and honest.

“The man I love the most?”

Qin Weibai asked back.

Military Counselor’s face froze, but since it was hidden in the cloak, no one could see him clearly. He kept the smile on his face and asked, “Boss, you don’t love him?”

“I love him.”

Qin Weibai nodded and said softly, “It’s just that… do I deserve him?”

Do I deserve him?

She asked a question, but it wasn’t for Military Counselor, nor Saint. It was more like she was asking her soul seriously.

Do I deserve him?

She stood at the edge of the cliff in silence and kept her body straight with pride. At this moment, Military Counselor could clearly feel that, under his boss’s gorgeous face, all the energy was taken out of her, and she was full of emptiness and desperation.

“Boss…”

Saint and Military Counselor called her at the same time.

“I’m okay.”

Qin Weibai suddenly woke up. She became cool and sharp again.

Near the cliff, a beautiful lady looked up at the moon.

In the pure, deep blue sky, the moon was bright and clear, and the scattered stars were shining with dim light.

A dazzling shooting star flew through the sky and fell with a dramatic bright arc.

The shooting star tore the moonlight in pieces and fell into the deep ocean.

“When the star fell down, the Heavenly Son must die.”

Qin Weibai’s gorgeous face bloomed into a beautiful smile. “It’s the fate from heaven and looks like tonight is our lucky night.”

“Boss, you believe in the mandate of heaven, too?”

Saint laughed softly and asked.

“How can I survive till now if I don’t?”

Qin Weibai’s eyes looked bright and lonely.

Her eyes looked down.

In the second half of the night, when the dawn was about to come, two faint shadows appeared in the furthest place where eyes could see.

The two shadows moved at such a high speed with a clear goal; to climb on top of Wujia Mountain and rush to the cliff.

The shadows were getting closer and closer.

The outlines of a man and a woman slowly got clear.

Saint’s and Military Counselor’s eyes suddenly focused. Till this moment, they finally knew who the boss was waiting for.

When Samsara’s Military Counselor and Saint secretly snuck into Ninghu, nobody had noticed that a famous superior went missing from the camp of the Wang family of Beihai.

The Wang family of Beihai, Black Pupil.

And the man who appeared with Black Pupil was a sensitive figure that wasn’t supposed to be in East Island like Qin Weibai.

He shouldn’t show up and shouldn’t meet with Qin Weibai in the current situation.

The man and the woman moved forward quickly.

Black Pupil followed him in silence.

And the man in front walked in big, casual steps.

The Wang family of Beihai.

Wang Xiaoyao!
