The King of Special Warfare Chapter 290 - Welcome to Samsara Palace

w.a.n.g Tianzong didn’t declare his position in the end after all.

The destiny of Zhongzhou State was related to the general trend of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

He chose to be silent about that.

In most of the time, silence was more powerful than a promise.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes were fixed on the fruit plate on the marble table in front of him.

The fruit on the plate was very fresh.

A crystal-clear drop of water dropped down along the grapes on the plate.

The air started to ripple.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s figure faded away slowly, and finally disappeared.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao took two steps forward.

He looked at Xuan Xuanzi who looked pale and tired with a complicated expression.

The dragon vein had gathered again. Li Tianlan inherited the dragon vein; w.a.n.g Shengxiao missed the chance, the dragon vein was taken away, he took over Lonely Mountain in Lin’an and killed Li Honghe.

He was thinking about the conversation between Xuan Xuanzi and his big brother.

He had so many questions to ask.

But he didn’t ask them in the end.

Xuan Xuanzi sat in the pavilion alone. In a short period of time, all his body he had been sweating abnormally; the sweat soaked his Taoist Robe. The Grandmaster of metaphysics, who became more and more important after the death of Great Master Wuwei, looked extremely weak.

He picked up a grape with no expression on his face.

He peeled the grape with his hands shaking violently.

He put the fresh grape into his mouth; it tasted sour and sweet.

Xuan Xuanzi looked down at his shaking hands; there was exhaustion and boredom in his eyes.

In decades of his metaphysics career, he turned from a swindler in the beginning to a Grandmaster. He had been beaten, cursed and evicted, he had also been respected, wors.h.i.+ped and had been a threat to others. All his life, he had experienced unimaginable poverty and dazzling luxury.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly felt like mocking himself.

All his life, he had helped a lot of people, but it seemed that he had never finished what he really wanted to do.

Because he just wanted to do one thing.

Xuan Xuanzi’s eyes looked confused. After his destiny was scattered, he looked like a dying old man, lonely and desolate.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered when his life changed for the first time.

He had a daughter.

His daughter who was buried by his ambition.

In the morning of early summer, it felt warm in Mount Dibing; the floral fragrance spread around the whole mountain.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly felt nostalgic about that sad, cold snow storm in those days.

He struggled to breathe and stood up with his weak and tired body, then said softly, “I’ll go down the mountain.”

“I’ll walk with you.”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao said right after.

The two of them walked out of the pavilion.

They walked on the flagstone path with flowers on the sides.

The flowers were flouris.h.i.+ng in the mountain; the path extended down in a devious way among the flowers and gra.s.s. In the quiet morning, the place was colorful everywhere.

Xuan Xuanzi’s body swayed back and forth, then he stumbled down.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao frowned, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Taoist Priest, you’re not in a great state right now, why don’t you stay in the mountain and rest for a day or two?”

He had a pretty good relations.h.i.+p with Xuan Xuanzi; right then he was truly worried about him.

But at the moment, Xuan Xuanzi just wanted to see that snow storm.

He shook his head and said softly, “It’s okay.”

“But you’re…”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao frowned more and more deeply.

“Why?”

Xuan Xuanzi looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyao with a smile and said softly, “You’re afraid that I’ll die?”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao let out a bitter laugh.

Even if Xuan Xuanzi had lost years of destiny, he was still the metaphysics Grandmaster of Zhongzhou State. Such a figure couldn’t be considered like a normal person, but he was indeed in a worrying condition.

“I won’t die,”

Xuan Xuanzi said.

His eyes looked determined.

He just wanted to do one thing, but he couldn’t finish anything in his life. He didn’t dare to die; he couldn’t die.

Great Master Wuwei could have survived back then, but he had to die.

But Xuan Xuanzi didn’t mind surviving while suffering.

Among the flowers all over the mountain, something white suddenly appeared in the front of the flagstone path.

That was the purest color.

It looked like pure snow that had never been stepped on.

Xuan Xuanzi looked at the white flowers ahead of him.

The petals of the white flowers fell down on the ground piece by piece in the morning breeze.

The wind became stronger.

The white petals started to fly around, making circles in the wind, like falling snow.

Xuan Xuanzi watched in silence, then suddenly said, “What kind of flower is this?”

“This is Snow Hawk.”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao said while laughing. “It’s the new breed my sister-in-law grew a few years ago. They only blossom in spring; after the early summer, they’ll all wither.”

Snow Hawk…

Xuan Xuanzi looked at the flower petals flying in the air. He had never heard of that name, but they were indeed very beautiful.

“Summer Solstice is a soulful person.”

Xuan Xuanzi said softly.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao laughed without saying anything.

The two people walked down in a sea of white flowers, like walking in the snow.

The white petals were blown away by the wind then fell down, and kept falling.

A delicate fragrance slowly spread out in the air.

The fragrance was subtle but deep.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao smelled the strange fragrance and thought maybe his sister-in-law had changed the gene of Snow Hawk again.

Xuan Xuanzi looked at the flowers and gra.s.s in front of him deeply.

The Snow Hawk took a large area. Whether they moved forward or back, they were surrounded by the flying white petals, with invariable beauty.

The environment distracted people.

Xuan Xuanzi’s eyes lost focus in the invariable scenery.

The petals were disappearing.

The delicate fragrance became stronger and stronger.

There were only wind and snow left in his sight.

The wind and snow were cold and sad.

Xuan Xuanzi subconsciously wrapped himself in his Taoist Robe tightly.

A b.u.t.terfly appeared in front of him.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly realized something. Looking at the white flowers around him, he realized that he was in Mount Dibing, the white view around him was just flowers.

The b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings and flew around Xuan Xuanzi; it looked colorful.

Xuan Xuanzi stopped his pace and watched the flying b.u.t.terfly in front of him quietly.

It was so free, without a care in the world.

The b.u.t.terfly kept flying in circles in front of Xuan Xuanzi. He could see its wings, and even its small eyes.

Its eyes were very deep, as if it were looking into his eyes.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao also stopped his pace.

He didn’t see the b.u.t.terfly.

He just looked ahead.

In the end of the Snow Hawk field within a hundred meters, a woman in white stood there.

She was quiet and dimly discernible, as if she blended into the endless Snow Hawk field.

A few people were standing beside her and guarding her carefully; they didn’t let out any aura.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyao didn’t feel surprised; he felt like he had seem a ghost in broad daylight.

He couldn’t figure out how that person had arrived without being noticed; that was a spiritual event even scarier than seeing a ghost.

The b.u.t.terfly was gone.

It disappeared in the flying snow-like flower petals.

Xuan Xuanzi, who didn’t know how long he had been standing there, felt lost inside. He let out a self-mocking laugh, then took a step forward subconsciously.

The serpentine flagstone path suddenly became a bottomless chasm.

Time seemed go fast forward by countless times.

The clouds were blown away in the high sky, the morning sun kept rising.

The temperature kept rising, then it became hot and dry.

The whole burning sun seemed to be forcefully pushed by a human hand, from the east to the west.

Dusk completely covered the mountain.

Xuan Xuanzi made a misstep and suddenly fell into the chasm.

The dusk covered the deep chasm; it was extremely quiet and dark in there.

Xuan Xuanzi’s heart kept sinking like his body.

He didn’t think about where it went wrong. The chaotic time and the chasm that appeared out of nowhere were filtered subconsciously in his head.

There was only the most instinctive fear of death in his heart.

Xuan Xuanzi kept struggling in the chasm. He wanted to scream, but he couldn’t make a sound in the extremely dark and quiet s.p.a.ce.

His body kept falling down without control.

He felt like he was falling from the human world straight to h.e.l.l; the falling never ended.

He suddenly heard the sound of waves around him.

The pounding sound of waves covered everything.

Xuan Xuanzi still didn’t notice anything wrong.

He remembered he was in Mount Dibing; there was a sea down the mountain.

The surging waves were deafening.

A light suddenly lit up in the endless darkness above him.

The light covered all of Xuan Xuanzi’s sight. Xuan Xuanzi gave a grunt and fell hard on the ground.

The dark ground was like soft sea surface.

The gra.s.sland and the flowers were vivid in the lonely light up in the sky, but the whole ground was rolling like waves.

Xuan Xuanzi looked around.

All of the light fell on him.

In a trance, he just felt as if he were standing on the only small piece of land in the dark.

The boiling sound of tides was the only thing he could hear.

Xuan Xuanzi laughed.

As if he were celebrating his survival, he laughed joyfully.

“Taoist Priest, why are you so happy?”

A clear and fresh voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was very light, but it spread through the whole sky instantly; even the raging sound of tides was pressed down by it.

It kept echoing in the high sky.

“Why are you so happy…?”

“Why are you so happy…?”

“Happy…”

The light in the sky slowly faded away along with the voice.

Xuan Xuanzi finally could see the environment clearly.

There was light in the dark.

There were heaven and earth.

The sky was in a weird red color.

The scarlet red, b.l.o.o.d.y light shone on the sea below.

The sea was dark, there were countless huge vortexes circling on it.

He was standing on the ground that was about ten square meters in size.

It was such a small s.p.a.ce.

Looking around, there was endless dark sea water that could swallow everything around him.

A few dark pillars stood in the water; it seemed like they reached all the way to the sky. That scene looked very clear, and yet so far away.

“Who are you?”

Xuan Xuanzi looked ahead.

There was a woman in a white dress in his sight.

The light was too dim there.

She stood against the light. Xuan Xuanzi just felt she was familiar, but couldn’t identify the person.

The woman didn’t answer Xuan Xuanzi’s question.

She was just staring at him quietly.

Xuan Xuanzi caught a pair of deep and bright eyes.

That pair of eyes were calm and cold, like the deep Milky Way.

“Taoist Priest is in such a high position, why would you end up like this today?”

The woman seemed to be laughing while saying that. She said softly, “Like a dying old dog.”

Xuan Xuanzi fell silent.

After a long silence, he said in confusion, “Are you gonna kill me?”

He thought that was ridiculous.

With his power, n.o.body would want to kill him when they found him.

Was today an exception?

“Or else?”

The woman’s voice sounded softer and softer, like the cold wind from the high sky. “Don’t you deserve to die?”

Xuan Xuanzi narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in the dark.

He found her more and more familiar.

“More than twenty years ago, after Li Kuangtu committed treason, you had been planning something. You had three chances in all these years; the first one was sixteen years ago, but it was destroyed by some non-disturbing factors from outside. The second one was ten years ago; you weren’t confident enough, you hesitated, so you missed the chance. The third one was about four years ago. I stopped you.”

The woman spoke in a cold tone. “The Zhongzhou State dragon vein is your fourth chance. Taoist Priest. Do you really care about the dragon vein?” “You knew the destiny of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was really strong. Things will develop in the opposite direction when being forced; they can’t handle the dragon vein. But in those years, you had been messing with the destiny of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and making false impressions. In the end, you were able to fool w.a.n.g Tianzong and the entire Zhongzhou State. Right now you are considered the top metaphysics Grandmaster of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.”

“Do you care about the dragon vein?”

The woman said coldly, “It’s all fake! You have been wanting to provoke a war between the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and the Li family. You wouldn’t let them survive even when the Li family walked into a dead end. Don’t you think you deserve to die?”

Xuan Xuanzi’s body suddenly froze.

As if a big secret of his had been revealed, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

His eyes were fixed on the charming, curvy figure. He said in a ferocious tone, “Who the h.e.l.l are you?!”

“Is this important?”

The woman said coldly.

Xuan Xuanzi took a deep breath. Under the b.l.o.o.d.y sky, he laughed hysterically. “You’re right, this is not important. Is the fact that you figured out my plan important? It means that you can destroy my plan again, right? I do deserve to die, but doesn’t the Li family deserve to die? Doesn’t Li Tianlan deserve to die? They all should die!”

“I’ll kill them when I have the chance. If I can survive today, after w.a.n.g Tianzong kills Li Honghe, I’ll strip away the dragon vein in Li Tianlan with my own hands! I’ll use the dragon vein to destroy the destiny of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai completely. Haha, haha, they all deserve to die, they all should die!”

The woman took two steps forward.

“You don’t approve of Tianlan?”

She asked softly.

“Why would I approve of him?”

Xuan Xuanzi’s face looked cold.

He didn’t like Li Tianlan indeed.

When he saw Li Tianlan for the first time in Huating, Xuan Xuanzi could see so much ambition in his calm eyes.

That was extremely constrained desire, too crazy and loud.

That was the ambition that could destroy everything.

Xuan Xuanzi wouldn’t admit that he could see himself from many years ago in that pair of eyes.

He just didn’t like Li Tianlan.

“Does this have anything to do with you?”

The woman suddenly asked.

Xuan Xuanzi froze.

“No matter what, he must die.”

Xuan Xuanzi said.

“You hate the Li family.”

The woman said slowly but surely.

“You seemed to know a lot of things.”

Xuan Xuanzi stared at him with cold eyes. “Then you should know that, the child was a girl! That child died, where did Li Tianlan come from?! Was it Li Kuangtu’s b.a.s.t.a.r.d? An illegitimate child?!”

The woman stayed silent.

She seemed to be thinking about something.

The killing intent in the air started to fade away quietly.

The b.l.o.o.d.y light in the sky slowly faded away, the sky resumed the darkness.

The raging sea stopped boiling.

The ground underneath Xuan Xuanzi’s feet began to expand crazily; it suddenly expanded from a dozen square meters to more than a thousand square meters. It became an island.

“Answer me this.”

The woman’s voice echoed between heaven and earth. “Which do you hate the most, the Li family or Kunlun City?”

Xuan Xuanzi’s face changed dramatically.

He had lost all his destiny and was in the weakest state that day. At that moment, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

“What the h.e.l.l do you know?!”

He watched the woman who was farther and farther away from him as the ground expanded and said in a furious tone.

“I know your last name is Li.”

The woman said softly, “You want to provoke a war between the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and the Li family. This war will surely happen, but Li Honghe’s current state is too dangerous right now. If the w.a.n.g family of Beihai launches an attack right now, when the Human Emperor couldn’t fully recharge its power, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai will definitely face a great loss, and the Li family will also be destroyed. Your metaphysics are already well-known in the world; by then you will use the dragon vein to wipe out the destiny of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Within twenty years, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai will be gone completely.”

“By then, Kunlun City will be the only superpower in Zhongzhou State.”

“Nice arrangement. In all these years, who could have thought that the metaphysics Grandmaster of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai actually works for Kunlun City? No, I’m wrong, this should be a transaction between you and Kunlun City, am I right?”

Xuan Xuanzi fell on the ground and lost all his hope.

“You don’t care about anything, you don’t care about the dragon vein, you don’t care about yourself, you don’t even care about Zhongzhou State. You only care about your daughter. Many years ago, you gave her up for your so-called ambition, now you’re risking your life to get her back. How stupid,”

The woman walked over from afar and gave such a direct comment.

“I’m indeed stupid.”

Xuan Xuanzi laughed bitterly in a self-mocking way. “I shouldn’t have done that…”

“So, answer my question, which do you hate more? Kunlun City or the Li family?”

The woman asked slowly.

“Is there a point in this?”

Xuan Xuanzi said numbly, “If I can survive, the Li family must be wiped out.”

“Of course there’s a point in this. I actually don’t mind you demolis.h.i.+ng the Li family, I can even help you fight against Kunlun City.”

The woman said softly.

That sentence seemed to directly state her position.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly lifted his head. “Are you from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai? Are you Summer Solstice?”

“We have met in Lin’an.”

The woman finally walked to Xuan Xuanzi and stood in front of him. “My last name is Qin.”

A Dreamy, cold face appeared in Xuan Xuanzi’s sight. She looked perfect and flawless, elegant and a little bit dignified.

“It’s you…”

Xuan Xuanzi said in a low tone, as if that was beyond his comprehension. “I didn’t expect it would be you… You don’t know anything about Martial Arts…”

“This isn’t Martial Arts.”

Qin Weibai said slowly, “This is a spiritual domain.”

“Boom!”

As she spoke, the sky started to crack and the ground started to shatter around them.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared in the sky that was no longer red, the pieces of the scattered sky fell down, the endless deep sea was suddenly pressed down by an invisible force.

The ground was rising.

The whole sea kept falling down, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters.

An abyss was formed between the sea surface and the rest of the sea.

The sky kept shattering.

Xuan Xuanzi finally realized something was wrong. Looking at that unrealistic scene, he suddenly realized that he wasn’t in Mount Dibing.

“Where am I?”

He asked.

“Mount Dibing.”

Qin Weibai’s answer was out of his expectations.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly remembered something, then he looked at Qin Weibai with complicated expression in his eyes. “Hypnosis?”

Qin Weibai fell silent.

Xuan Xuanzi understood completely; he thought about the b.u.t.terfly he saw not long ago.

Xuan Xuanzi suddenly felt ridiculous. He pointed at the sky-cracking and earth-shattering scene. “So, this is all fake? What I see is all just hypnosis?”

“But you’re real.”

Qin Weibai said quietly. She looked at the sinking deep sea. “If you jump from here, you won’t wake up while you fall. When you actually hit the deep sea, you will enter the state of brain death; no one would be able to figure out your cause of death.”

Xuan Xuanzi looked at Qin Weibai with a complicated expression on his face.

“Amazing technique,”

He said softly.

Hypnotism had always been a unique technique from the Li family. But that was the first time Xuan Xuanzi had heard of someone being able to bring Hypnotism to that level.

That domain was too mysterious, it could completely match the Martial Arts.

Till then, he understood why Qin Weibai could become the number two figure in the Samsara Palace.

“You’ve overpraising,”

Qin Weibai said calmly.

“Who taught you Hypnotism?”

Xuan Xuanzi asked curiously, “Li Kuangtu? No, the time was wrong. Then Li Honghe?”

Qin Weibai took a look at him.

She waved her hand.

The horizon lit up.

Xuan Xuanzi’s sight resumed to normal.

“I repeat, I don’t mind you wiping out the Li family.”

Qin Weibai said, “Because I hate them, too.”

“But I heard that were Li Tianlan’s woman.”

Xuan Xuanzi looked at Qin Weibai.

Qin Weibai’s face softened for a moment, then she said softly, “You can attack the Li family, Kunlun City and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. I don’t care about them, as long as you support Tianlan.”

“I was going to kill you today; I know a lot of your secrets, but there are still some I don’t know. But in here, I can figure out anything; I’ll get everything from you, then I’ll make you suffer to death.”

Qin Weibai said softly, “But I suddenly realize that it would be a nice choice to keep you alive.”

“I’ll survive, to help one of the Li family?”

Xuan Xuanzi laughed coldly.

“You’re helping me.”

Qin Weibai looked into Xuan Xuanzi’s eyes.

“What the h.e.l.l do you want?”

Xuan Xuanzi had so many questions in his heart; he was a metaphysics Grandmaster, but he didn’t have answers for everything.

Judging from the surface, Qin Weibai’s standpoint had been simple.

But when coming into real contact with her, people would realize she had such deep thoughts.

“Didn’t you call me an enchantress who wrecks countries?”

Qin Weibai put on a mild smile. “I want to mess up the world. I need a new era after a complete mess; right now the Dark World is too quiet.”

Xuan Xuanzi looked at Qin Weibai with a dumbfounded face, as if he were looking at a psycho.

“The Dark World was too quiet?”

The Dark World in recent years… apart from the year in which the final battle of Heaven Capital had occurred, when had the Dark World ever been quiet in the past two years?

It was a complete mess.

“Taoist Priest won’t care about this anyway.”

Qin Weibai said, “You are well aware of the possibilities whether your transaction with Kunlun City will succeed. If that’s the case, you give me what I want, and I’ll give you what you want.”

“Is the so-called new era, what you want?”

Xuan Xuanzi looked at Qin Weibai.

“And your life.”

Qin Weibai looked into Xuan Xuanzi’s eyes without fear. “I’ll help you achieve your wish, so you can die peacefully, how about that?”

“Deal.”

Xuan Xuanzi’s face looked calm.

“This is not a transaction.”

Qin Weibai shook her head. “This is submission. From now on, you belong to the Samsara Palace till your death.”

“Kneel down.”

Xuan Xuanzi thought of a strange t.i.tle.

He stayed silent for a while, then stood up and sorted his Taoist Robe, then kneeled down toward Qin Weibai.

“Boss.”

Xuan Xuanzi said calmly.

“Boom!”

Heaven and earth shattered completely.

The darkness, the deep sea and the drifting land, everything disappeared.

Xuan Xuanzi’s sight suddenly became bright and clear.

He stood on the path in Mount Dibing; the white flower petals flew around like snow.

In the front within a hundred meters in his sight, a woman was turning around slowly.

All Xuan Xuanzi could hear was the loud booming sound of the sky cracking and the earth shattering, and Qin Weibai’s calm but irresistible words.

“Welcome to Samsara Palace.”
