Chapter 147 – Tu Shenwei’s Countermeasure
Driven by an increasingly uncontrollable fury, Tu Shenwei slapped Qianjun in his face face. At the beginning, he didn’t know anything about his son’s plan. That was, until what had happened at the Breaking Blade Summit. Once he was informed that the demons and barbarians had formed an alliance, he had shown great interest and he had even asked his underlings to further investigate.
To his great shock, the scout came back bringing the news that it had all been purposely designed by his son! He had become furious, and tempted to grab Qianjun right in front him to knock some sense into this son of him. But, on second thought, he had refrained himself from doing so. Instead, he had decided to see whether his son was smart enough to turn to his father to ask for help.
Looking at the shivering Qianjun, whose eyes were filled with reverence and awe for his father, Tu Shenwei sighed helplessly. How “terrific” his son was! Killing a person was a trivial matter to people in Immortal City, but his son had allied two whole prefectures, and arranged a hidden traitor of the Mars Prefecture. He was launching a war rather than killing a single Ye Qinghan! In the process of retreating, the target, Qinghan, had accidentally become much stronger, and obtained a heaven-defying technique. That wasn’t all… Qianjun had left concrete evidence behind, like the two treasure-level items, which were already in the hands of the demons and barbarians. His unintelligent son had even directly told Yao Kaka and Man’gan of his own plan. He should’ve protected his identity as the young lord of Immortal City, and be more secretive! Now, Yao Kaka was no longer in this world, but his father would definitely be told the truth eventually. As for the Barbarian Prefecture and Mars Prefecture, they would also stir up some chaos because of this event.
“Then… father, what shall we do next? If this event develops into an uncontrollable way, then when our leader returns, he’ll kill me! Yes, he will!” Thinking of the Immortal Leader, Qianjun’s heartbeat quickened, and his body couldn’t help but shiver.
“Useless trash! Poor son, neither did you inherit one-tenth of my level-minded temperament, nor did you obtain one-hundredth of my intelligence! You have to be calm, even if the Immortal Mountain collapses!” Tu Shenwei shook his head, and sighed. He acted as if he had completely forgotten his bout of fury from several minutes ago. Grabbing the cup of tea from the desk, he spoke up once again, “Look at you, my son, you’re scared to death in face of such a small event. What kind of great achievement shall I expect from such a coward?”
“Actually, the consequences could turn out to be either big or small, it all depends on your countermeasures. Alas, we should start with the evidence you’ve left behind. First, capture the messenger, and imprison the traitor of the Mars Prefecture, ruin his cultivation, and cut off his meridians… We need to assure that all the witnesses aren’t accessible, once the Prefecture War ends.”
“Second, tell the Demonic Evil, that his son had been killed. If he decides to seek revenge, just ask him to bring several Demonic Saints to Immortal City! I’ll tell him what to do. Third, you have to go to the Zhanxian Garden to turn yourself in. In my prediction, Zhan Shenwei will imprison you for at least three to five years. Remember, cultivate hard in jail, and try to break into the Realm of the Emperor. You’re not allowed to come out until you’ve reached this goal…”
After listening his father’s advice, Qianjun plunged into deep meditation. He eventually understood his father’s arrangement. While, at the same time, his admiration for his father grew as well.
Firstly, his father had picked up two scapegoats, who were used to receive the possible accusations raised by the three prefectures. Secondly, the powerful Qinghan had turned out to be a threat to them all, so his father had decided to kill this emerging genius with the hands of Yao Kaka’s father. Thirdly, since Qianjun’s deeds had been exposed to them all, Zhan Shenwei, who was in charge of the criminal law in Immortal City, must’ve already been informed of all the details. But, he didn’t ask anyone to capture Qianjun, for the sake of Tu Shenwei’s face. Under such circumstances, it would be the best policy to turn himself in, and confess his guilt in front of Zhan Shenwei. This way, Qianjun wouldn’t receive death as punishment.
Now, Qianjun had digested all the information he had received from his father, and felt quite relieved. He stood there, staring at his father, who was once again focussed on his book. Qianjun couldn’t help but wonder how marvelous his father was! For such a thorny matter, his father had solved it in only several sentences. The grown-up ginger was always spicier than the little one.
Silently, Qianjun bowed to his father, before he left.
“Humph! I hope he isn’t that stupid…” Tu Shenwei slightly raised his head up, and looked at the back of his son. Suddenly, he yelled to one of his underlyings, “Go to investigate Ye Qinghan’s Integration Technique. For such a terrifying technique, it shouldn’t appear in the Flame Dragon Continent. Is there any secret to it?”
A man in a golden robe quickly stepped forward, and cupped his hands in front of Tu Shenwei. Hardly had Tu Shenwei finished his order, or this man had hurriedly walked out of the room, to finish this task.
……
Ghost Island.
On the vast scarlet land of the Bloody Prairie, the three prefectures all felt restless, as if underneath the red grass, there was a secret force that had driven them to taste the thrill of slaughter.
