Chapter 355: Chapter 292 Demon King Action
Even though no one knew which family the attacker belonged to, after Dragon Smoke acted, all problems were resolved.
No one saw who wielded the sword light, but its deterrent power was incredibly strong.
Even if someone else contemplated acting, they dared not.
“Weren’t you not going to act?”
Others might not be sure, but those who had seen Dragon Smoke had a vague guess, especially Zhu Xiao, who seemed to have known after seeing Dragon Smoke leave.
“Who knows why? If I feel like doing something, I’ll just do it. But even if I hadn’t acted, there wouldn’t have been any problem.”
The moment the attacker appeared, someone was about to intervene, just not as quickly as Dragon Smoke.
That is to say, even if Wang Sheng hadn’t intervened, there likely wouldn’t have been any issues.
Zhu Xiao said no more and continued watching the fight.
It wasn’t long before Zheng Xueyue and Wu Qingfeng, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, decided to retreat.
The two had not lost, but continuing the confrontation would not have been beneficial for them.
Of course, the most critical factor was that Mo Yang’s strength was continuously growing, which wasn’t favorable either.
Finally, the battle ended, and Mo Yang, along with Xing, both returned to the altar.
They showed no abnormalities, as if nothing had happened, and continued with the kingdom-establishment process.
“Today I, Mo Yang, inspired by heaven… establish the state of Qi!”
Mo Yang finally established the dynasty, naming it Qi Dynasty, symbolizing the recreation of heaven and earth.
Mo Yang became the King, and Xing became the State Preceptor.
The moment the dynasty was established, Wang Sheng suddenly felt an anomaly with the Heavenly Father Bead, and even the Spirit World seemed to stir and was not peaceful.
Mo Yang’s method of establishing his kingdom was similar to other dynasties.
“So, has this also provoked the Heavenly Father?”
Before he could react, Mo Yang’s powers were enhanced.
He was already strong, and now his power was probably comparable to that of Zheng Xueyue, who had previously acquired thirty percent of the Eastern Dynasty’s territory—extremely powerful.
Throughout this process of enhancement, Wang Sheng kept watching, but he didn’t spot any sign of the Heavenly Father.
“Didn’t he come, or is there some other reason?”
If his guess was correct, the Spirit World had certainly birthed a portion representing the Qi Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t enter it actively now, so he wasn’t sure what had exactly happened.
However, it was certain that Mo Yang had not experienced any issues yet.
That was enough!
The ceremony ended, followed by the appointment of the officials.
At this point, the Qi Dynasty was established!
Since the fall of the Eastern Dynasty, another dynasty had risen, breaking the monopoly of the seven major families for over six thousand years.
From now on, at least for the moment, the Qi Dynasty was flourishing.
The spirit of the people and the national strength were entirely different from the other three dynasties, and both were very strong.
What followed was a grand banquet.
After the banquet, Wang Sheng planned to leave, but before he left, he decided to meet with the current King of Qi.
“Are you leaving?”
“Yes, I initially wanted to leave directly, but after thinking it over, I decided to remind you that the method used to establish the dynasty might have some issues. Be cautious; it could be a trap.”
Ever since he learned that the imperial method was brought by the Jiang Family from the First Dynasty, Wang Sheng had always believed that there was likely a problem with it.
He didn’t think the Jiang Family would casually reveal such a method, especially not when they hadn’t declined.
“Of course, you can consider this merely my speculation. It’s up to you to decide.”
“No, I think what you said is right. After the establishment of the dynasty, I’ve always felt like something was forming. I originally thought it was just an illusion, but after hearing what you said, there might really be an issue.”
Mo Yang didn’t avoid discussing his unusual feelings and shared them openly.
Wang Sheng was somewhat moved.
This was the first time he had approached a Dynasty Master so calmly, especially one who had just established a dynasty, and he didn’t expect to gather some valuable information.
“Can you tell what it is? Is it similar to the aura of this object?”
Wang Sheng then took out the Heavenly Father Bead, releasing some of the Heavenly Father’s aura.
“It doesn’t seem the same… but there are some similarities. However, these minor similarities don’t make me think they are the same.”
“…”
Wang Sheng hadn’t expected this response.
“If any changes occur in the future, you can contact me directly!”
Even though Mo Yang said it was not the same, Wang Sheng wasn’t disappointed.
Having some gains was already good enough.
Besides, he couldn’t actively enter the Spirit World now, so being somewhat at peace was better.
When he could enter the Spirit World in the future, he could delve directly into the part of the Spirit World representing the Qi Dynasty.
Mo Yang readily agreed.
“There was such a thing in existence, and it left him feeling rather uneasy inside.”
“Wang Sheng was very mysterious, clearly knowing some things; he was a follower of the same sect as Yue, so perhaps he could really solve these problems.”
“Because of this matter, Wang Sheng spoke a bit more and then left.”
“When bidding farewell to Zhu Xiao, he and Yue embarked on the return journey.”
“Still, two Child followers were with them.”
“Yue was in a good mood, and Wang Sheng readily felt his joy.”
“It was only upon asking that he found out Yue had reconciled with his fellow sect member Xing, naturally putting him in high spirits.”
“It can only be said that after both were harshly disillusioned by reality, they recognized their inadequacies.”
“The trip was not without its gains.”
“However, what Wang Sheng didn’t realize was that after he left the Qian Dynasty, there had been a significant shift in the Spirit World.”
“Within the Spirit World of the Qian Dynasty, something was growing rapidly.”
“However, its way of growing was somewhat unique; it began devouring the powers represented by the Spirit Worlds of the Wu Dynasty and the Cang Dynasty.”
“These two Spirit Worlds offered no resistance, allowing themselves to be devoured.”
“The devouring of power accelerated its own growth quickly, and since it occurred in the Spirit Worlds of other dynasties, the power was deeply hidden. Even Mo Yang didn’t notice the problem immediately.”
“As the devouring accelerated, two dynasties began to sense that something was amiss.”
“The Cang Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty found that no matter what they did, things did not go smoothly, as if bad luck was upon them.”
“The higher-ups felt this even more acutely. Zheng Xueyue and Wu Qingfeng even noticed a slight regression in their strength, not much, but enough to alarm them greatly, leading to them sending people to investigate.”
“But the results indicated that the territory faced no issues; it was still as vast as before.”
“This outcome was even more terrifying than a loss of territory leading to decreased power because it meant they could not pinpoint the cause.”
“What’s going on with this era, with the seven major families falling and strange powers rising, even lineages that had lasted thousands of years no longer correspond to reality!” Wu Qingfeng was always a very calm person and hardly ever showed panic.”
“But faced with this situation, even a top-notch powerhouse like him couldn’t help but feel turmoil inside.”
“They had many plans for their family, but now it seemed they were all useless.”
“There were too many changes, and he feared that any action might lead to major problems.”
“Adopt a defensive policy; if something isn’t feasible, just give it up!”
“At this moment, he even envied those families that had withdrawn early and hidden away, for at least they could watch the situation unfold and didn’t have to worry about being annihilated.”
“As for their Wu Family now, given the precedent of the Sun Family, safety was not guaranteed!”
“Wu Qingfeng felt deeply uneasy, always sensing some looming danger. He recalled something Jiang Dao had said while they joined forces to kill King Yong Nian a long time ago.”
“Great perils exist between heaven and earth!”
“As the person who had killed King Yong Nian, he hadn’t believed in that statement.”
“Peril, then he was the peril!”
“But that was his former thought. Now, facing these events, he felt that maybe there was some truth in that saying.”
“Now it seemed his only option was to adopt a strategy of contraction.”
“Zheng Xueyue, facing the same situation, thought the same, drastically reducing the forces of Divine Lady Peak.”
“Both forces fell into a defensive state, ready to retreat at any moment.”
“This era was rather unfriendly to them, with much of their experience proving unapplicable.”
“While they were making these moves, it wasn’t long before Wang Sheng entered the territory of the Wu Dynasty, which was Jianzhou.”
“The moment he entered, he sensed something off.”
“After entering Jianzhou, the state of the Spirit World was almost entirely different from when he had passed through before, as if there had been some major change.”
“How could there be such a large change in just over a month?”
“Wang Sheng was puzzled.”
“However, he didn’t pay it much attention since the Spirit World of the Wu Dynasty had nothing to do with him.”
“So after just a short stay, he directly left and soon returned to Qingshan Village.”
“Time slowly passed, and the situation in the Wu Dynasty and the Cang Dynasty grew increasingly severe. The Zheng Family and Wu Family faced extremely tough times, everything going wrong, utterly vexing.”
“At that time, their strategy of contraction proved effective, with losses not exceeding expectations.”
“However, during this period, two figures hidden in the deep mountains suddenly opened their eyes.”
“Blood sustenance; the darkness told me where I could find high-quality blood sustenance. Is this a revelation?”
“A figure took flight, blocking out the sun, seemingly spreading terror over the land.”
“Not only him, but another massive figure also emerged from the mountains, every step causing the mountains to crumble and the earth to crack, destroying everything in front.”
“The two figures, a Roc and a Green Lion, headed respectively toward the Cang Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty.”
“Their target was the Royal Capital!”
“What does the Green Lion King plan to do?”
“What does the Roc King plan to do?”
“In different places, at the same time, two figures in black robes stood up. If they went out now and something happened, it could affect the ultimate plan.”
“A major problem had arisen!”
“Go inform the principal body!”
“They could not stop the Green Lion King and the Roc King but could only inform the principal body to see if any remedial measures were possible… Yet they still did not understand why the two Demon Kings had suddenly acted…
