Chapter 324 - Unexpected cause (1/2)
Two days had passed since An Zheng fell to Peacock City, yet he did not have the chance to see Xu Meidai even after entering the Peacock Palace. However, they had not been idle for the past two days. The people from Korea did not give up and attacked four or five times. However, they did not have much strength and the people they hired were not that big of a deal. The Divisions monk did not show himself after entering the Peacock Palace for two days. An Zheng's heart became more and more anxious, and he was unable to calm down no matter what.
Tian Haogong's calamity came from An Zheng. Although An Zheng did not do this on purpose, it was all because of him. If he could not resolve this problem, then he would feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.
On the night of the second day, An Zheng had already made his decision. If there was no news after dawn, he would challenge the Peacock Palace. Even though he knew that the strength of sucuge sect would be terrifying to the extreme, he still had to do what he had to do.
The relay station was very big, and An Zheng didn't even know the name of the tree in the courtyard. Every night, there would be people who worshiped the Buddha, kneeling under the tree and bowing, they were very sincere and sincere.
Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou had already gone to sleep, so An Zheng couldn't fall asleep as he walked out of the room by himself. He stood under the huge tree and stared blankly into the night sky.
”Xu Meidai?”
Seemingly someone softly called out, An Zheng's heart suddenly tightened.
He looked around. There was no one there, and no one else seemed to have heard him. There were quite a few experts living in the relay station. If there really was a sound, how could they not hear it?
An Zheng listened carefully for a while, then smiled bitterly and thought to himself, could it be my misconception?
It was at this time that someone from outside softly called out, ”Xu Meidai?”
An Zheng's face changed, with a flash, he rushed out from the inn. The street outside was very clean. Other than the sound of the wind blowing against the sand, there was nothing else. The moon in the desert was especially bright. The lights on both sides of the streets of Peacock City were also very concentrated, so they could be seen very far away. An Zheng did not see a single person.
But this was the third time the voice had sounded at this time, and it seemed to be not far from An Zheng.
”Xu Meidai?”
An Zheng suddenly turned around, and it was as if he saw a black figure flash past. He knew that something was wrong, but he still chased after him.
The black silhouette in front of him was exceptionally fast, only stopping after An Zheng had chased him for a few streets did he gradually stop. An Zheng looked around and realised it walace similar to the Beast Battling Arena. There were seats on the stairs all around him, gradually rising higher and higher. Right now he was standing in the middle of the Beast Battling Arena. The black clothed man in front of him turned around and gave him a sinister smile, and then his figure gradually dimmed down, and in the end he disappeared in front of An Zheng.
At this moment, An Zheng even misunderstood that it was a ghost.
”So it's the shadow technique of the State of Zhao.”
An Zheng looked around: ”Since I'm already here, why haven't you appeared yet?”
As the sound of his voice faded, a dozen or so figures appeared from all directions, hiding behind the stone pillars surrounding the Colosseum. These people all wore the same attire as they surrounded An Zheng. Standing at the very front was a middle-aged man of about forty years of age. He looked somewhat refined, but even under the moonlight, his gaze towards An Zheng was still filled with hatred.
”I thought you wouldn't be fooled.”
The middle-aged man walked down one step aime. His footsteps seemed exceptionally heavy.
”My name is Su Mou.”
He stopped ten meters away from An Zheng and looked straight into An Zheng's eyes: ”King Zhao's younger brother, Su Qingnuan's uncle.”
An Zheng nodded his head, ”I guessed that you would make a move against me, so there's nothing to be surprised about. Initially, I also could not understand why Su Qingnuan did not want to become the State of Zhao. Why did the people of the State of Zhao still want to avenge Su Qingnuan? Later, I realized that I was noarent, so naturally I couldn't feel the pain. No matter what Su Qingnuan did wrong, she is still the daughter of the King Zhao. ”
Su Mu nodded her head: ”You are right, no matter what Su Qingnuan did wrong, she is still a member of our State of Zhao, the daughter of our King Zhao.”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, ”That's why, you are no different from those people from Korea who want to kill me. However, it seems that you have a much better reason for taking revenge on behalf of your loved ones. However, it's not that different. Although we made a big mistake and caused a lot of people to die, we can't die. A parent or an elder has problems with their education. Is the reason why Su Qingnuan acted like that have nothing to do with his parents? ”
”Maybe from a young age, Su Qingnuan's tyranny and jealousy have already started to show on her face. But what did the King Zhao and the Queen do? You are the daughter of the King, and if you have committed a crime, the King will help you carry it. Thus, you will only say a few words nonchalantly and then pretend as if nothing happened. ”
Su Mu's expression turned ugly. ”He's already dead. Whatever you say.”
An Zheng: ”I was the one who killed him, you just have to kill me.”
Su Mu: ”Actually, with the relationship between State of Yan and his allies, King Zhao could have never minded this matter. Unfortunately, after death, your State of Yan didn't even have a single explanation! ”
An Zheng could not help but laugh. ”So, this enmity might not necessarily need to be avenged. We just want to see if I can give you some chips, right?”
”You don't look like a big deal.”
An Zheng habitually shrugged his shoulders: ”I'm sorry, I wasn't like this in the first place.”
Su Mu said: ”Since you have decided, as long as you give State of Yan 15 counties, and then compensate us with 10 million silver, we can leave you with your life, but you have to cripple your cultivation.”
An Zheng: ”It's not considered high.”
Su Mu said, ”The relationship between allies is related to the survival of both countries, so you have to consider this carefully.”
An Zheng: ”Generally speaking, do you allow cursing during negotiations? If not, please come and fight with me. I have quite a bit of silver, so I won't give you a single copper. I have a lot of power, so I won't give you even a speck of dust from State of Yan. ”
”Kill him!”
Su Mu let out an angry shout, and the dozen or so Golden Scale Guards in the surroundings immediately moved. These people were clearly still standing there, but there were afterimages on their bodies that pounced towards An Zheng. An Zheng summoned out the ice spirit from the Blood Pearl Bracelet and it reached out with one hand. The ice spirit circled around his hand and shot out a circle of silver light. The silver light accurately pierced into the phantoms that were pouncing towards them, but those phantoms were not affected in the slightest, as they quickly pounced in front of An Zheng.
A sword pierced towards An Zheng, who dodged to the side. Soon after, the remaining dozens of afterimages also arrived, a dozen plus swords that were like poisonous snakes continuously pierced towards An Zheng.
