Chapter 1003 - Cutting Destiny and Enemies is Not as Hard as Cutting Falsehood
Chapter 1003 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts the action: A bamboo leaf drifted down, carried by the wind toward him.The moment before it landed... Find out what happens!
A bamboo leaf drifted down, carried by the wind toward him.The moment before it landed in front of him, it fell silently and swiftly, like a dagger plunging into the ground.
A single leaf heavy as cast iron.
Following Jiang Wang out, Zhongxuan Laifu asked with unease, âMaster Jiang, are you really not going to perform the ritual sacrifice?â
Jiang Wangâs visit to Qiuyang County was primarily concerned with Chu Miâs affairs.
However, performing the ritual sacrifice on behalf of Zhongxuan Sheng was no small matter either.
Being able to perform the sacrifice in Zhongxuan Shengâs stead was in itself a declaration of authority.
Zhongxuan Sheng wanted to use this method to tell everyone in the Zhong Xuan Family that, from now on, seeing Jiang Wang was as good as seeing him.
This was to elevate Jiang Wangâs influence, while also using his current reputation to further consolidate his own sway.
Zhongxuan Laifu understood this significance, which is why he had taken such care with the reception this time.
Naturally, Zhongxuan Hengshen knew this too, which might well be why he had come to obstruct it.
In Zhongxuan Laifuâs view, Jiang Wangâs inability to continue the sacrifice in place of Zhongxuan Sheng represented a tremendous loss.
Hence his question.
He cautiously suggested, âWe could wait for Elder Hengshen to leave before goingâŚâ
âPlay hide and seek?â Jiang Wang chuckled softly, âIâm not interested in playing that game with the old gentleman.â
What seemed like a catastrophic event to Zhongxuan Laifu was trivial to Jiang Wang.
Since his return from End of the World Platform, his reputation had been established, and he no longer needed the auspices of the Zhong Xuan Family.
When the People of Qi spoke of him, they would no longer introduce him as Zhongxuan Shengâs good friend.
On the contrary, when mentioning Zhongxuan Sheng, people often spoke of Jiang Qingyang first.
Who didnât know that he silenced the Neifu Cultivators of Diao Hai Building without a word!
âThen you should go back to your room and rest,â Zhongxuan Laifu said, still harboring his thief-like hopes, âIâll send someone to give you a shoulder rub, guaranteed top-notch!â
Jiang Wang glanced at him, thinking to himself that he was really persistent.
No wonder Zhongxuan Xin had dark circles under his eyes every day.
Shaking his head, he said, âA shoulder rub is not necessary.
Whatâs the deal with that Zhongxuan Hengshen?â
Zhongxuan Laifu looked around before whispering, âHis heart is with Young Master Zun.â
With that, Jiang Wang understood.
After several bold moves by Zhongxuan Sheng in the past, driving Wang Yiwu out of Linzi and suppressing all voices within the clan, not only was it hard for his peers to match his edge, but there were also few among the older generation who could outweigh him in speech.
His status became increasingly heavy, yet there was always one critical point he couldnât cross.
He held the advantage as the successor but couldnât hammer down the final verdict and fully secure the inheritance rights.
This was not because he wasnât good enough or didnât try hard enough.
It was because there was another personâ
Zhongxuan Zun.
Although that person had been quiet for a long time, without any movement or even a sound,
no one could ignore him.
In the eighth month of the Dao Calendarâs 3918th year, Zhongxuan Sheng made a divine move, arranging for Zhongxuan Zun to enter Under Jixia Gong for a year-long closed-door intensive training.
Unknowingly, it was now the fifth month of the 3919th year, and only three more months remained until the end of that periodâŚ
No wonder there were stirrings within the Zhong Xuan Family again.
The mountain rain was about to pour, the wind filled the Tower.
About to confront Zhongxuan Zun head-on, Zhongxuan Sheng, are you ready?
Jiang Wang looked down at his palms and asked himself, Jiang Wang, are you ready?
That peerless prodigy who eclipsed his generation, the legendary Zhongxuan Zun who was very likely to achieve the status of Tianfu!
Are you really prepared to welcome him?
His fingers slowly came together, and Jiang Wang clenched his fist.
Why notâŚ
give it a try!
ps:
This chapter is a double release combined into one.
I forgot to tell everyone that the couplets and ditties that appear in this book are also written by the author whenever there is no specific source mentioned.
Thereâs no need to look for a source if you canât find one.
Please be aware.
O, O.
Humph.
That couplet âunhook for the moon,â Iâm quite proud of it.
âAnd bearing mountains and seas is no heavier than bearing responsibility,â I like that too.
We didnât manage to keep the fourteenth place; Iâm asking for monthly votes to hold onto the fifteenth!
More to come tonight.
Letâs let the slow Xishao burn incense to fulfill vows!
