Chapter 131 - My Heart is Like a Broken Crescent Moon

In the midst of running, Wang Changxiang suddenly felt his hair stand on end.His good combat readiness allowed him to quickly form hand seals, preparing to take action at a moment’s notice.

Of course, he wasn’t about to leave just like that, but instead, he rammed shoulder-first!

He knocked the door off its hinges.

He crashed into the bedroom.

But there was no one else in the bedroom, no villains holding his elder brother hostage as he had imagined.

There was only his elder brother in the room.

At that moment, he was curled up in a ball, shrinking on the bed.

His hands were clasped behind his head, covered in blood, and on them…

were a few orange-yellow tufts of fur.

The fur of Little Orange.

Wang Changxiang released the hand seals and rushed to the bedside, supporting him with one hand, “Bro, Bro!

What’s wrong with you?”

Wang Changji’s entire face was wrinkled into a ball, becoming fierce and twisted.

He squeezed towards the wall, waving his hands in the air in front of him, trying to fend off his younger brother.

“Don’t come over!

Stay away…”

He was almost crying, almost pleading.

Then he roared and howled, “Get lost!

Go far away!”

“Bro!

What on earth is wrong, don’t scare me!” Wang Changxiang grabbed his wildly flailing hands, paying no heed to the bloodstains, and with tears streaming said, “What happened?

Let’s face it together as brothers.”

“Ah.”

Wang Changxiang heard such a sound.

It was as if he was sighing at something, or perhaps releasing something.

Then he felt the hands he had grabbed twist in reverse.

His brother’s hands were very cold.

He saw Wang Changji lift his head from his curled and evasive position, silently looking at him.

All the distortion and struggle on his face disappeared, returning to calm and peace.

And his voice became exceptionally indifferent, without a trace of warmth or fluctuation.

“Time’s up,” he said.

A cold and surging power nearly instantly burst into him from the point of contact with the hands, and Wang Changxiang’s instinctually formed Path Origin defense shattered upon touch!

He felt his blood solidify, his Path Origin solidify, his thoughts also began to solidify.

He moved his lips, trying to utter one last syllable, “Bro…”

But even the sound solidified.

Along with his breath.

Wang Changji released his hands, and Wang Changxiang collapsed thunderously in front of him.

Arms and legs splayed out, he fell backwards, his last gaze was very calm.

Nobody knew what he was thinking in his final moments.

Wang Changji got up, pulled over the bedsheet, and methodically wiped the blood from his hands.

There wasn’t a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

Or perhaps, from that moment on, he had lost all emotion.

He began walking out.

The body of Wang Changxiang lay right in front of him.

He lifted his foot, intending to step over it.

But he retracted his foot halfway.

He noticed a delicate little bottle hanging from Wang Changxiang’s belt.

The aura emanating from the bottle was so precious that even a being like him found it valuable.

He gently bent down and plucked the bottle off.

On the bottle was its name—Pulse Expanding Elixir.

Wang Changji straightened up, stepped over the body, and continued outward.

His face showed no expression.

But for some reason.

Tears were streaming from his eyes.

“Enemy attack!

Enemy attack!

All the Fierce Beasts have gone mad!

Even the demon beasts!”

“Quickly send a message to Xin’an City!”

“The Telecommunication Array is malfunctioning, the message can’t get out!”

Atop Fly Peak, the boiling emotions fell silent for an instant.

Everyone understood what this meant.

While Sun Heng was clearing Vertical Pen Peak, Zhuang Ting was taken by surprise, or rather, the Zhuang Ting side was also conflicted.

The cultivators guarding Vertical Pen Peak received no orders, and they dared not to reveal their identities, facing off against a territorial city lord.

Everyone thought the fierce beast tide would eventually force the Three Mountains City forces to retreat, but no one had expected Sun Heng to fight against the tides, exhaust all his strength, and break the beast surge on his own.

For the first time Jade Balance Peak faced the threat of collapse, and it was only stopped by the National Chancellor Du Ruhui himself that thwarted Dou Yuemei’s advance.

But unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the Grand Competition at the provincial court and Du Ruhui’s presence in Xin’an to crush Jade Balance Peak.

Now in the territory of Three Mountains City, only Fly Peak remained.

Indeed, within the borders of Zhuang Country, many places are hidden with Fierce Beasts’ nests, used to breed demon beasts.

But a nest like Feilai Peak, is almost a strategic resource.

Losing any one of them is a tremendous loss.

That’s why a powerhouse at the level of Du Ruhui would personally go there multiple times.

Zhuang Country can’t afford to lose anymore.

“Someone is charging up!”

“Are they from the Bone Tao or from Yong Country?”

Inside, Fierce Beasts are raging and demon beasts are frenzied; outside, the enemy is attacking and swiftly breaking through the defenses.

Trapped as a lone force with no hope for rescue.

They couldn’t even accurately determine where the enemies were coming from because it all happened so suddenly.

There was no prior preparation, nor any trace to follow.

Someone had covered it all up.

In such boiling turmoil, amidst such panic and helplessness,

a Procuratorate monk wasted no words and drew his sword across his own throat!

Blood sprayed from his slit throat, splashing across the face of the person opposite him.

Every cultivator stationed at Feilai Peak had their life and soul bound to a secret technique.

As soon as they died, there would immediately be a reaction at Xin’an City.

He had no other way, so he resorted to passing the message through death.

The cultivator who suddenly got his face splashed with blood, wiped his cheek and drew his sword, then charged down the mountain.

“Kill!

Kill them all!”

“Before the Prime Minister arrives, we can’t let them advance another step!”

Apart from a few who were still trying to repair the great array, almost all the cultivators stationed here roared with rage and collectively charged down the mountain.

All these cultivators belonged to the Procuratorate, but no one would remember their names.

They wore the attire of the Procuratorate, yet their names were not listed within its ranks.

Because they undertook such secretive missions, what they did was something they themselves were reluctant to do.

They carried shame and guilt, yet looked up to pride and self-respect.

They harmed innocent people, yet protected the future of Zhuang Country.

What kind of people were they?

What will history say about them?

It may be important, or perhaps not.

At such a time, in such a situation, there’s only killing.

I stand above it all, never failing in what I uphold!

The attack on Feilai Peak had begun.

Bone Tao’s plan, which had been in the making for decades, was fully unfolding and entering its final phase.

As the holy girl of the Bone Tao, Miao Yu felt lost and disheartened.

Because she was still hesitating on whether to initiate the third choice, which had already been designed, taking advantage of Jiang Wang’s promise of the third matter to help the Taoist child complete his awakening.

She knew that once the plan proceeded to the last step, if she had not taken action, then all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

By then, the Respecting God would be in the world, and the Taoist child’s awakening would have nothing to do with her contributions.

During those hard times in the past, she was told countless times that she was the holy girl of the Bone Tao.

She would assist the awakened Bone Taoist child to cleanse this ugly world.

The Taoist child would be her spiritual partner.

That had always been her spiritual support, the reason why she had come this far.

That’s why she was so affectionate and obsessed, longing for the Taoist child who had not yet appeared but would eventually emerge.

Therefore, after confirming that Jiang Wang was the reincarnation of the Taoist child, she could even risk her life for him without hesitation.

As the holy girl of the Bone Tao, she was also very clear that only after the Taoist child’s awakening, he would be the true Taoist child.

All life before that was The Mystery Within The Womb, the delusion of the mortal world.

That’s why she had prepared three choices for Jiang Wang, to facilitate his rapid awakening.

However, she couldn’t explain why, why she hesitated for so long.

So much so that time continued to slip by bit by bit.

She couldn’t believe it at all in the past.

She who had grown up fighting among Fierce Beasts, who had believed in the Bone Respecting God from the moment she was cognizant, could actually feel hesitation.

Yet the exquisite irony was—while she was still hesitating, the Taoist child…

had awakened.

Perhaps the Bone Respecting God did not trust his followers, or perhaps something unexpected occurred.

It was inconsistent with the divine oracle’s timing, but he had unmistakably awakened.

As the contemporary Bone Tao holy girl, a fateful closeness would not deceive her.

At this very moment, somewhere, the Bone Taoist child had awakened.

And the one thing she could be sure of was that the earthly body of the Bone Taoist child was not Jiang Wang.

Not Jiang Wang!

Miao Yu couldn’t tell whether she felt relieved or regretful.
